[00:00] carrera: Not neeeded right now. [00:00] steven_, try sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /media/HP_RECOVERY -o force [00:00] soundray, thanks [00:00] Are you in x server display configuration? [00:00] soundray: thx, doyou know of a daemon based solution? a cron alternative? [00:01] Does anyone know much about using external memories. I have one of 160GB and have videos stored on it. If I plug in the USB to my DVD player can I bring up the menu on the TV and choose a film to watch??? [00:01] juak: no, but of course that doesn't mean there isn't one [00:01] hey everyonee [00:01] ok [00:01] dudes [00:01] i'm trying the script then [00:01] DarkGu1, yes, i'm in the X Sever Display Configuration tap now [00:01] carrera: Click the resolution drop the down menu. What do you see? [00:02] what's a good widget program for Ubuntu? [00:02] kinda like vista's sidebar [00:02] unusual problem: I have default gnome installation, also have e and xfce and flux desktops, when i try and run a diff desktop i get booted back to log in, seemingly randomly, after about 1 hours. Happened with XFCE, and with flux. Anyone ver heard of such a thing? [00:02] carrera: ? [00:02] Dreamglider: Thanks. That worked. I wasn't sure if it was safe to do that command. [00:02] DarkGu1, I just did to no avail. There's "off" grayed out, then "Auto" and then the highest value "1440x900" [00:02] I'm having speed problems with SAMBA, but so far all the info I found was not relevant. FTP speed is fine (and even file transfer is pretty speedy), does anybody have additional info on samba speed problems on hardy (besides the forum). [00:03] *file transfer over ssh [00:03] <_sebastian_> Question: anyone problems with gFTP crashing when deleting large folders [00:03] carrera:Now it gets a little more complex. Can you respond immediately to my questions? [00:03] steven_, i dont know if it is ! [00:03] DarkGu1, I can try [00:03] steven_, but i do know it works :) [00:04] carrera: Ok. What kind of monitor do you have? [00:04] Any recommendations for an app that can limit bandwidth used by individual programs? [00:04] already told u [00:04] anyone know a good program that has widgets for Ubuntu [00:04] DarkGu1, yessir. It's a Samsung SyncMaster BW1932 - 19" [00:04] carrera: one momenty [00:04] steven_, next time you are to mount you just type sudu mount -all that usualy works for me [00:05] DarkGu1, this time I had responded to your question even before you asked! ;) [00:05] Do you know the horizontal sync and vertical refresh? [00:05] Additionally: I'm using ubuntu Server and try to upload/download with Vista 64bit (atm) [00:05] DarkGu1, Nope! [00:05] carrera: hang on. In the mean time do gksudo gedit [00:06] DarkGu1, i'm logged in as root - sudo -i [00:06] DarkGu1, why gedit? can just use vi? [00:06] carrera: Open your monitor's menu and go to the info page. [00:06] carrerra is vi-1337! [00:06] ;) [00:06] Carrera: Open a text editor in root [00:06] so I take it the mplayer-plugin package just makes a symlink to make it work for firefox3 in the correct place [00:07] how do I see all the files on my system? [00:07] it's time to clean off the big, unnecessary ones... [00:07] DarkGu1, Display Info: 55.9kHz, 60Hz PP [00:08] imaginativeone: which ones in particular are you wanting to get rid off? [00:08] in most programs, I use shift+Ctrl+u followed by the hexadecimal code to insert certain special characters. However when using LyX it doesn't work. Shift+Ctr+u already gives me a special character. Anyone knows how to go around this? [00:08] btw i'm bumping my question. [00:08] unusual problem: I have default gnome installation, also have e and xfce and flux desktops, when i try and run a diff desktop i get booted back to log in, seemingly randomly, after about 1 hours. Happened with XFCE, and with flux. Anyone ver heard of such a thing? [00:08] DarkGu1, Display Info: 55.9kHz, 60Hz PP [00:08] How do I start a new x-server? I know the command is something like starx -- :1 [00:08] Not sure if that's it though. [00:09] steven_: that works [00:09] carrera: ok. [00:09] steven_: startx, not starx [00:09] jrib: is it startx? [00:09] drowner_: too slow! [00:09] Carrera: open up xorg.conf in a text editor as root [00:09] jrib: thanks [00:09] jrib: indeed [00:09] how do I locate all the big, unnecessary files on my system? [00:09] imaginativeone: accessories -> disk usage analyzer [00:10] Does anyone know what libc6 is? [00:10] the C library, version 6 [00:10] how do I locate all the big, unnecessary files on my system? [00:10] Does anyone know what xlibmesa3 | libgl1 is? [00:11] DarkGu1, libmesa is the 3D library for your system, handles 3D stuff [00:11] jrib: that command doesn't run unless I type in "sudo startx -- :1", but I don't want to be running in root mode the whole time. [00:11] how dio I update drivers? I am seeing these types of messages in dmesg [00:11] What kind of unnecessary files are you looking for? [00:11] sda:<4>Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type method [00:11] DarkGu1, libc is the C library for ur system [00:11] DarkGu1: well libc6 is the core of your system if you remove that you seriously mess your system up so it no longer works [00:11] steven_: you shouldn't need sudo. What exactly happens when you don't use sudo? [00:11] der: 'Is there a way to install libmesa without deleting my drivers, or editing my display in anayway? I need it as a dependency [00:11] How do i install libqt4? [00:11] how do I locate all the big, unnecessary files on my system? [00:12] DarkGu1: well libmesa should already be installed [00:12] imaginativeone: did you see my response? [00:12] imaginativeone: Play around with du and ls. [00:12] kitche: okay. Do you know what python 2,4dbus is? [00:12] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/59032/ [00:12] anyone? [00:13] steven_: probably because you ran it with sudo [00:13] does know why my ssh key is failing on login? here is the debug log http://pastehere.net/11 [00:13] FFForever: what do you need it for? [00:13] vlc :) [00:14] it says this when i try to install vlc (latest) Depends: libqt4-core (>= 4.3.4) but it is not going to be installed [00:14] does anyone have experience with the postgresql distro? [00:14] FFForever: well for that you probably need to grab it from the PPA [00:14] Can someone please point me to where I can find the HCL for Ubuntu server. [00:14] hi! i have troubles reading manpages. The layout is messed up and some lines are not wrapped around correctly. These lines contain something like '[7m<80><99>'. [00:14] what ppa? [00:14] FFForever: try 'apt-get install libqt4-core' from the command line [00:15] does anyone know of how to get the correct dependencies for EVE-online [00:15] jrib: so I would have to log out to do so? [00:15] steven_: check the permissions on the file it is complaining about [00:15] Blackhou5e, nope :( [00:15] I'm having an issue getting postgres to produce log files. It seems to be something particular to the ubuntu distro. [00:15] FFForever: it can't find it? [00:16] Blackhou5e, http://pastebin.ca/1229781 i am converting from a kde4 kubuntu install to a kubuntu [00:16] it that matters [00:16] i did the puregnome thing and installed ubuntu-desktop [00:16] DarkGu1, is it under /etc? [00:17] carrera: yes [00:17] nope [00:17] a quoi peut bien servir ce forum [00:17] how can I tell what my tape drive is? like /dev and then ?? [00:17] jlevy: have you looked at your postgresql.conf file? [00:17] !french [00:17] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [00:17] FFForever: copy your sources.list in pastebin too please :) [00:17] Wicked! I command les bots! [00:17] steven_: wait. You are doing this from a tty right? [00:17] DarkGu1, well, I don't seem to have it [00:18] hi people, quick question. for some reason, the latest version of vlc, when i play a video, i get two windows, one window with the controls and a seperate window with the actual video that says VLC (X11 output). It did not used to do this, how do i make it all one video again? [00:18] DarkGu1, did a "find . -name xorg.cong" to no avail [00:18] jrib: No. I'm doing this from a terminal on the computer I want to open a 2nd x server on. [00:18] carrera: look in /etc/x11 [00:18] I already asked in #cf for that, but is anyone here using compiz fusion 0.7.8? [00:18] http://pastebin.ca/1229784 [00:18] carrera: If you didn't have it your computer would be dead [00:18] DarkGu1, I don't even have /etc/x11 [00:18] the last one even if i disable it i get the same thing Blackhou5e [00:18] dgv: yes, here is the relevent part http://www.mibbit.com/pb/b3tQYV [00:18] (the last one is for the latest vlc) [00:18] steven_: you need to run it from a tty. By the way, if you want gdm to pop up instead of whatever is in your ~/.xinitrc, you can use gdmflexiserver [00:19] Polygon89: the vlc people did it on purpose because of another bug, it should be fixed in next version, you can always downgrade to old one 9.2 [00:19] DarkGu1, "cd x" in /etc shows only xdg/ xml/ and xulrunner-1.9/ [00:19] jrib: I will look into tty. Thanks. [00:19] !tty [00:19] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [00:19] i have two partitions of ubuntu, how can i choose which one is default? [00:19] dgv:I've been told that everything is set correctly, but the pg_log directory is empty [00:19] FFForever: Not sure if I can help you out here... it seems to require some packages from PPA, but not all dependencies seem to match :( [00:19] Anyone got a guide on howto upgrade to compiz-fusion 0.7.8 on ubuntu hardy?! [00:19] BobCFC, okey dokey ill stay with .9, its much better =) [00:20] Blackhou5e, can u give me ur sources.list?

[00:28] metalop: you need to use sudo to save settings to xorg.conf as root... but if drivers not enabled nvidia-settings will tell you to install them when you run it i think [00:28] Artur_: contact transgaming. You paid for support [00:28] i don´t paid [00:28] and i don´t want to === FreshPrince_ is now known as FreshPrince [00:28] Artur_: then you can't use cedega [00:28] BobCFC: problem is, when I reboot and GDM first runs, there is a bunch or screen distrotion using the nvidia drivers [00:29] hey i have a 2GB flash drive and wanna run ubuntu from it. which method would you recommend me?

Just google your processor [00:31] carrera: before you make any changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf make a backup of that file.

[00:32] jburd, dulak, then should I still add HorizSync and VertRefresh under Section "Monitor" or just let ddc determine? [00:33] ah yes, Artur_. You'll need to google your processor [00:33] hey i have a 2GB flash drive and wanna run ubuntu from it. which method would you recommend me?

[00:34] ubuntu live usb creator? [00:34] jburd, dulak, would that give me higher Res Values??? [00:34] carrera: if you set it correctly for the monitor it should let you choose res values all the way up to whatever the monitor supports [00:35] dulak, so ddc is not getting the right valuse from my display? [00:35] carrera: I'm guessing that's what the problem is [00:35] ok [00:36] i want a real system [00:36] jburd, dulak, thanks for your help.

You should be able to just install the xmonad package and your xmonad from source and not have to do anything extra to run it from gdm.

[00:59] Jacobbs: i personally think it is hardware [00:59] drowner_, just cp? [00:59] at least then you won't be fiddling with bad hardware (if it is the hardware) [00:59] dcp: yes [00:59] dulak: 1.5.3, the one in Ubuntu repos [00:59] DCPom: yes [00:59] Because if it isn't hardware, then you can work from there.

But there's an unicode character which already has the degree simbol and the C in one [01:00] so, 64 then? [01:00] Sniper1: 3gb is fine for 32bit [01:00] ActionParsni1: you are asking questions? wow [01:00] Does openchrome 0.902 driver work with xorg 7.4? [01:00] ok [01:00] Gnea: dont worry about it, figured it out [01:00] Sniper1: the max 32bit can read is 4gb -video ram so u get about 3.5gb left... a 3gb system is perfect for 32bit and is simpler for things like flash [01:00] slamFIST: cool [01:00] drowner_, restarting now [01:00] slamFIST: what was it?

[01:04] rm -r Examples, sure. but i want to just hide it [01:04] DavidCanarias: It deletes it as far as it will be overwritten next time around. It doesn't overwrite the data I think. [01:05] how do i hide a folder in terminal mode [01:05] kri: it's just a symlink [01:05] if i 'mkdir abc' then i want to make it .abc after its created how do i do?

[01:17] Flint: i wish im looking for someone who knows wine good too [01:17] DCPom: yes [01:17] ActionParsn1: Thks for your patience [01:17] chaos1: and the fonts are inconsistent across the skin. a script font above in all lower case, and centered. a drop-shadowed italics font below, right aligned. they clash.

[01:20] I dont wanna sound needy but if anyone has steam running good on ubuntu i need some Help. i get an error everytime i try to run a Hl1 game in opengl and software is too slow and any HL2 game just doesnt open [01:20] DavidCanarias: its also useful when a library is superceeded but an old crappy app hasnt been updated so you symlink the new library so it has the old name [01:20] DCPom: But they are completely fixable. [01:20] xain: appdb.winehq.org has instructions [01:20] hola [01:20] does anyone know how to change the 'actions' window features in a GDM theme [01:21] jrib: i followed all the guides i could find on the internet. but i get a pixelformat change or something like that when i try to use opengl in hl1 [01:21] xain: not all the guides on the internet. start from scratch with the one from the official winehq site [01:21] Perhaps someone else can help DCPom. He seems to have installed a server install, and then installed Xubuntu again - but not by a command line install from the desktop, via a new vanilla CD. I can tell, because he has 2 swaps. He cannot get his grub to point to his Xubuntu by default, he has to manually select it [01:21] i got a internet question i was wondering if someone could help me with. ??? [01:21] jrib: alright ill take a look. [01:22] xain: 8.04 with the latest updates or 8.10 beta? [01:22] Hello. I have an Asus 3870X2 with 4 DVI outputs. Is it possible to have a quad monitor setup with this card on ubuntu? It is the only thing holding me back from making the switch. [01:22] jrib: all i see is like what works what doesnt [01:22] DCPom: what are you trying to do? [01:22] quink_: 8.04 [01:22] xain: link me [01:22] yoyoned: he wants to boot Xubuntu, not server, by default [01:22] jrib: link you to what? [01:22] yoyoned, boot with xubuntu as default start up disk, but it normally uses server [01:22] xain: to the page you are reading on appdb.winehq.org [01:23] jrib: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3731 [01:23] yoyoned: i'm stumped because he doesn't even seem to have these entries in his menu.lst [01:23] DCPom: are there 2 seperate installations [01:23] yoyoned, i believe so, but i think i royally messed up my partitions some how [01:23] xain: you don't see the "HOWTO" section? [01:23] DCPom: just 1 disk? [01:23] yoyoned, this is my fdisk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/59055/ [01:24] jrib: where? [01:24] yoyoned, yeah [01:24] yoyoned, wait you mean the live CD or the HD? [01:24] I got an internet question.... [01:24] xain: hit ctrl-f in your browser and type "HOWTO" [01:24] what are you booted into now [01:24] im in kuwait right... well kuwaits government does not allow veiwing of certian sites... like porn ect... i am tryiD fearing muslims dont want to goto www.skype.com i was wondering how i could bounce from one IP to another where i would be able to connect to www.skype.com ... its not illegal to be smarter then then is it ? [01:24] yoyoned, xubuntu [01:24] oh now i feel stupid sorry jrib im also haveing a cant change resolution problem x.x [01:25] DCPom: what is the output of df -h [01:25] yoyoned, http://paste.ubuntu.com/59068/ [01:25] jrib: and that is just one of the games the real one im haveing problems with is Half life 1. but ill look at the site. [01:26] M|sf|ts: you could use web proxies [01:26] DCPom: so sda1 is the xubuntu install [01:26] xain: well get steam installed from the link there. I haven't tried hl1, but hl2 works fine for me [01:26] M|sf|ts: maybe: http://www.opendns.com/ [01:26] yoyoned: that's what I thought - but his menu.lst doesn't point to anything BUT sda1 [01:26] yoyoned, yes, i think so [01:27] DCPom: can you pastebin your menu.lst [01:27] yeah let me get it [01:27] drowner: Makes sense that that's where he'd boot into then, yeah? [01:27] this is why i'm stumped [01:27] unless grubs mapped his HD all wrong [01:27] im in kuwait, and for some reason kuwaits gov'ment does not want people to goto www.skype.com it is on the BANED site list... like the one for porn ect... (kuwaits gov'ment restricts access to sites they dont deem "worthy" ie... the horriable word "cencorshipt") well sence it is not illegal in my eyes to be smarter than someone... how can i bounce around hiding that i am in kuwait and gain access to www.skype.com ? [01:27] drowner_: we can, at worst, put an entry in by hand. No biggie. [01:27] jrib: i got steam all installed and running steam runs fine. its the games im haveing problems Gmod wont even load. and hl1 games give me error on opengl if u want to try and help plz pm that makes this easier lol also i have a nvdia 7300LE video card. and i cant seem to change my resolution [01:27] yoyoned, http://paste.ubuntu.com/59062/ [01:27] Or his BIOS boots from his sda5. Which is bizarre [01:28] M|sf|ts: use a proxy [01:28] M|sf|ts: i don't find skype "worthy", either, so i suggest you use an open protocol and program for your VoIP calls instead [01:28] !ekiga [01:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about ekiga [01:28] M|sf|ts, you are breaking the law... [01:28] !info ekiga | even [01:28] DCPom: Do you know how to mount sda5? [01:28] even: ekiga (source: ekiga): H.323 and SIP compatible VoIP client. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.12-0ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 4454 kB, installed size 14632 kB [01:28] wait sorry [01:28] I imagine that the best thing to do is mount sda5, see if there's a kernel on there. [01:29] drowner_, is it just mount sda5? [01:29] DCPom: NOT sda6 [01:29] sorry [01:29] DCPom: what are you trying to fix [01:29] DCPom: can you mount your sda6 please? [01:29] LjL: yeah thats hard when my wife uses windows vista and knows jack about computers.... [01:29] drowner_, mount sda5 /mnt/server ? [01:29] 6 [01:29] 6 [01:29] M|sf|ts: once its setup you dont have to sweat it [01:29] sorry but that's the command, right? [01:29] sda6 [01:29] M|sf|ts, SIP clients exist for Windows, too, actually there are several. one is SJPhone, it is freeware and looks slick. [01:29] DCPom: you'll need sudo [01:29] Yeah, he wants to mount /dev/sda6 [01:30] sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt [01:30] LjL: i need to get something she can navagate [01:30] DCPom: how am i breaking the law ? trying to get skype so i can webcam and talk to my wife ? [01:30] jamesish: id mount to a folder withing /mnt === blankthemuffin__ is now known as blankthemuffin [01:30] ActionParsnip: why's that? [01:30] M|sf|ts, kuwaits gov'ment does not want people to goto www.skype.com it is on the BANED site list [01:30] DCPom: you server installation is sda6. sda5 is swat [01:30] LjL: dude i will let you explain that to my wife... LOL [01:30] actionparsnip: so how do i use proxys ? [01:30] jamesish: so that /mnt can be a single folder for holding mountings [01:30] DCPom, M|sf|ts: whether or not you're breaking the law is probably something only a lawyer expert in Kuwait law could determine. all we can say is "do it at your own risk". [01:31] M|sf|ts: you set it in your browser [01:31] M|sf|ts: so, then you are breaking the law! the solution is to put your computer in a bag, and move countries ;) [01:31] actionparsnip: i am new to this... [01:31] DCPom: yeah but is it illegal to out smart them ? [01:31] !info tor | M|sf|ts [01:31] m|sf|ts: tor (source: tor): anonymizing overlay network for TCP. In component universe, is optional.

[01:31] yoyoned, trying to mount the ubuntu server partition [01:31] yoyoned: Boot Xubuntu by default. At the moment it boots the server edition [01:31] Any graphic designers want to make a quick $30? Please PM me. [01:32] JesseL6272: do not do that here [01:32] i'm having trouble with the mount command [01:32] JesseL6272: not the right channel for this, seriously [01:32] M|sf|ts: look through your webbrowser settings, you will see http proxy settings. browse round for public proxies and use one [01:32] DCPom: what's the issue? [01:32] DCPom: forget mounting the sda6, its probably irrelevant [01:32] When I go "md5sum /dev/scd0" it returns "md5sum: /dev/scd0: Input/output error" after some CD activity. [01:32] jamesish: just makes sense to use subfolders in that folder to me [01:32] ActionParsnip: fisticuffs at dawn, then! [01:33] DCPom: kuwaits gov'ment should have though about this and blocked it if it was so "illegal" [01:33] drowner_: you put your computer in a bag and move countires i am happy here plus the us army says i have to stay here [01:33] jamesish: haha, just a sidenot. just dont mount in /proc :D [01:33] jamesish, drowner_ : i think i mounted it [01:33] M|sf|ts, tor might do it [01:33] M|sf|ts: Fair enough then ;) [01:33] !offtopic [01:33] actionparsnip: okay i set this its a annonomyus proxy from the states... and on port 80 and this is the IP 64.66.192.61 [01:33] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[01:34] oh, you could use that [01:34] would tor work for something like that? [01:34] no skype.com [01:34] go figure [01:34] I'm not sure [01:34] hi all i wanted to know can we in one system have many file system exemple / as ex3 var as reiserfs and /home as somthing else?

[01:34] DoYouKnow: of course it work [01:34] <__jeff_o> is there a way to suppress bandwidth in linux so I can browse the web at 56k on my cable connection? I'd like to test how fast my sites would load for a dialup user. [01:34] DCPom: can you do cat the menu.lst on the server install? [01:34] drowner_, yes i have it open in mousepad right now [01:34] ok [01:34] jamesish, yep [01:34] Hi. Question: How can i configure firestarter to work with my applications? [01:34] M|sf|ts: you are going along the right lines [01:34] DCPom: drowner_ grub on the MBR must have been installed from the server not xubuntu. run sudo grub-install sda [01:34] lbo_ken: yes, with a caveat. The different file systems have to be different partitions, or mounted ramdisks or something.

[01:35] fOXYpROXY HMMM..... [01:35] M|sf|ts: you need a proxy to get round stuff [01:35] Can I burn a DVD using Gnomebaker with 2 files: one mpg images and the other a video iso or will this create problems. Any help please?? [01:35] Aha! [01:35] M|sf|ts: another easy thing to do is just us https://vtunnel.com [01:35] it's just a BEAUTIFUL thing. [01:35] ActionParsnip: okay so i got a proxy, now how do i bounce around ? [01:35] DavidCanarias: the iso will occupy the whole disk [01:35] ok thanks jamesish [01:36] M|sf|ts: it uses https so it is harder to block... [01:36] M|sf|ts: that should get round it [01:36] ActionParsnip: to hide myself and goto freaking www.skype.com [01:36] Action Parsnip: Is this why it's failing then? Do I have to make 2 separate disks? [01:37] M|sf|ts: can you go to skype.org with vtunnel? [01:37] hmmmmmm [01:37] is there any way to tell when a current linux install was done on a computer? [01:37] DavidCanarias: if the iso isnt bootable you can extract the data from the iso then burn it all [01:37] DCPom: your last pastbin was from the sda6 partition right? [01:37] yoyoned, yes [01:37] DCPom: back up that last menu.lst (on the server) then change the 0 in line 14 to 3 [01:37] Odd- hold on i try now [01:38] reboot, and show us the love [01:38] DCPom: if you don't want to reinstall grub, edit the menu.lst on sda6 to make xubuntu the default [01:38] Odd- sorry im working at like 100kph to get to FREAKING skype.com LOL [01:38] cause im rebuilding my p4 in ubutu to use as server (apache/ftp/mysql/icecast) so i wanted to make it the more performing and also the most security formerly i used the autopartitions but now i put 2 hd (80 gig and one of 40 gig) in the same pc and i dont know yet much about the difference between the kind of partion so i was looking for more info ont hat :-) [01:38] ActionParsnip: What I did was to copy a DVD iso. If I take out the data from the iso will it still work? [01:38] M|sf|ts: if you want, i can download what you want and give it o you via dcc... [01:38] DavidCanarias: depends what the iso is of [01:38] yoyoned: thanks [01:39] where is network manager at? [01:39] I cant find it [01:39] sachael: if you do ls -al / you can see the date that the root was created that basically tells you when it was formated... [01:39] Odd- i swear kuwait is dumb why would you block freaking skype.com okay i got it god fearing muslims okay i got it so block porn... not skype.com OMG [01:39] sachael: look at the dot at the top of the list [01:39] After_Math: type nm in terminal and press tab [01:39] ActionParsnip, thanks [01:39] drowner_, you're sure it's 3? [01:39] ActionParsnip: On the chat here one day someone helped me to install a program that allows me to copy any DVD and I noticed the name appeared then iso. [01:39] ActionParsnip, not working [01:40] After_Math: i think its nm-applet [01:40] DCPom: pretty sure. What do you think it is? [01:40] drowner_: you should condider reinstalling grub fron xubuntu [01:40] M|sf|ts: but did vtunnel work? [01:40] drowner_, no idea xD [01:40] misfit the reason why they do it its cause skype can be used to talk agains there gouvernement and its considered as treachry so they doesnt allow them to do so with out supervision im sure most instant messenger are blocked [01:40] ActionParsnip, ** (nm-applet:13935): WARNING **: applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [01:49] DCPom: saves space [01:49] why do people talk to you when they will make no sence... are you sensitive in the subject of censorship ? because thats ridiculous censorship = the art of with holding informartion. am i not in a open-source community page ? [01:49] M|sf|ts: well, this is the channel to ask and answer ubuntu technical support questions, and that's it [01:50] DCPom: the extra swap is just wasted space. If you don't need more space, don't worry about it. do you plan on using the installation on sda6 any? [01:50] Odd-rationale: how do i PM you LOL [01:50] M|sf|ts: "free speech" doesn't mean you can go to any channel and talk about whatever you feel like talking [01:50] OMG did i just ask that ? [01:50] never mind let me figure it out [01:50] do you also call your ISP tech support and talk about the weather? [01:51] M|sf|ts: i thnk the rules are because so many people in channel needing help, there is a sperate #ubuntu-offtopic channel for chit-chat [01:51] PovAddict: I just did. It is very humid in Bombay, apparently [01:51] PovAddict: you keep thinking that and find out where it gets you man... freedom... thats why you chose linux in the first place [01:51] M|sf|ts: it's hard when over 1000ppl in a signle room [01:51] yoyoned, maybe at some point (i still don't know much about serving), but we're getting off topic, thanks guys [01:51] M|sf|ts: i choose it for simlpicity [01:52] M|sf|ts, open source != breaking the law [01:52] Hello, I am having trouble using network manager. I have deleted it from my desktop panel and I cant find it Under preferences or administrator, I have tried a few commands to run it in the terminal but it seems like it is already running, is there a way to stop all its proccesses and start it again. Thanks. [01:52] After_Math: ps -ef | grep -i nm will show any that are running [01:53] After_Math: id install wifi-radar and use that [01:53] ActionParsnip, thanks, Then just kill the pid? [01:53] After_Math: i don't have network manager installed, but i think the "gnome-network-manager" package is responsible for the panel icon [01:53] After_Math: yeah man [01:53] ActionParsnip, i did, I am having trouble with that as well [01:53] Does somebody here know anything about iptables (with the use of a NAT) and has a few minutes to help me with some kind of setup? [01:53] ActionParsnip: I can see you are occupied, but how can I extract the data from the iso - and would it still work OK? [01:53] After_Math: so "dpkg -L gnome-network-manager | grep bin" to find out what's the command to start it [01:53] LjL, ya, how do I run that? [01:53] LjL, awsome thaks :P [01:53] DavidCanarias: try it, it might work [01:54] After_Math: sorry, that's "network-manager-gnome" anyway, not "gnome-network-manager" [01:54] KingOfDos: what up? [01:54] After_Math: network manager runs at startup in you System->Prefs->Session as nm-applet --sm-disable... it runs in the notification area.. should return when u logouot or reboot [01:54] LjL, ok thanks it said gnome-network-manager wasnt installed ^^ [01:55] BobCFC, I see, I will jsut reboot if all else fails thanks :) [01:55] jamesish: http://paste.ubuntu.com/59076/ (the "ik wil" needs to be translated to "i want") [01:55] ActionParsnip: Can you tell me how to do this?? [01:56] <__mikem> I am trying to get a small usb soundblaster to work, and I am having trouble. THe only time any sound plays is when I switch it to digital only and then back to digital/analog. THat causes the startup sound to play and then no other sounds work after that [01:56] it's somekind of iptables setup, but i can't find a solution for it (searched a few days, but i think that i'm using the wrong keywords/methods) [01:56] DavidCanarias: just combine the data extracted from the iso with the extra data [01:57] How do I configure firestarter to work with applications such as nicotine? [01:57] !info nicotine [01:57] nicotine (source: nicotine): graphical client for the SoulSeek peer-to-peer system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.9+dfsg-1 (hardy), package size 822 kB, installed size 3696 kB [01:57] KingOfDos: so you want to forward requests from 10.10.10.12 to 10.10.20.2? [01:57] ActionParsnip: I probably don't understand this iso business. The video's I have state the title..... iso. Everything is combined [01:57] or is the iso just a sort of index [01:58] DavidCanarias: then you'll have to recreate the iso with the extra data [01:58] jamesish: forward it from 10.10.10.12 to the 10.20.20.2. without the NAT setup. [01:58] ActionParsnip: When I tried to create a DVD - a video with iso on its own - fine. When I created a DVD with an mpg image - fine. When I try to create one DVD of both it fails!!! [01:59] the router in the 10.10.10.0/24 network is sending the correct ICMP redirect, so that's already fixed :) [01:59] iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i [incoming interface] -o [outgoing interface] -d [ip address of target server] --dport 80 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT [02:00] Anyone have any experience with WMP54G cards in Ubuntu? [02:00] Um, I have a specific port in this, but you get the idea. [02:00] come in this interface, go out that interface, go to that ip address. [02:03] Anyone know a server name that has everything i could possiable want to know about the internet proxy's and all that... ? [02:03] a new channel [02:03] any idea what package chkconfig might be in? [02:04] gometz: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ will tell you [02:04] !info chkconfig [02:04] Package chkconfig does not exist in hardy [02:04] LjL: k, ty [02:04] ActionParsnip: figured, already did an aptitude search :) [02:04] jamesish: i'd tested it with "iptables -A FORWARD -i vlan1 -o br0 -s 10.10.10.12 -d 10.20.20.2 -j ACCEPT" things like that. [02:05] !apt-file | gometz, if you don't want to use the site [02:05] gometz, if you don't want to use the site: apt-file is a program that can tell you which package(s) contain(s) a given filename. To install it and generate the database it needs, run "sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update" [02:05] gometz, if you cant find it with apt-cache i'd try google [02:05] how do you login directly to the terminal? (no X; trying to install a new nvidia driver) [02:05] preston_s: you can log into a terminal even after X has started, by hitting ctrl+alt+f1 [02:06] ok, thx. are there any other crtl+alt+f* commands? [02:06] f2, f3, f4 :) [02:06] can anyone point me to a website that reviews motherboards based on Linux compatabilitu [02:06] other consoles [02:07] that would make sense. and to get back to X? [02:07] F7 is the X session [02:07] preston_s: its F7 [02:07] I'm trying to install ubuntu server onto a machine. I have a CF card for the target install drive, and used UNetbootin to write the livecd to an SDHC card. I boot off the SDHC card fine, but in the install it keeps asking me to mount a cdrom. I chose manual and 'none' for module needed to access, and tried guessing the /dev device but just keeps failing. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? [02:07] preston_s: yes, you have 6 virtual terminals, accessed using F1 to F6. F7 is for X itself. F8, F9 etc are for any other X sessions you might have running concurrently [02:07] thx all [02:07] OK, well I can connect now, but there is still no network manager? [02:07] KingOfDos: apt-get install screen [02:07] hello!

[02:10] <_2> why am i invisable ? or is that not what +i means in irc.freenode.net code ? [02:10] * nickrud thinks that he'd be happy with Bsims' code layout [02:10] _2: i can see your text [02:11] nickrud: not online but I can dcc it [02:11] having a screen resolution issue here; whenever I try to use 1680x1050 on my 22" lcd it asks me to enable virtual resolution settings, which messes up my entire x-session, so I have to restore xorg.conf from a backup [02:11] nickrud: I try to explain as best I can why/how things work and show what it does [02:11] Bsims, no need, I just like commented code. I'm extremely rusty, and likely to stay so. I read english better these days ;) [02:11] anyone get naughtysvn to compile in ubuntu 8.04 x64? [02:11] oops, now my nvidia driver has crashed. when pressing the ctrl+shift+f1 and then ctrl+shift+f7. [02:12] nice, a dual screen setup. but i've found a bug in kubuntu 8.10 :) [02:12] Bsims, but actually I'd like to see it. My screen stuff is primitive [02:12] nickrud: heh I know cobol, rpg, basic, bash, and some python/perl... my biggest problem is finding an itch to scratch [02:12] Bsims: learn c [02:12] Bsims: c++ [02:13] ActionParsnip: yeah, trying to help a friend install something for work... they only have an rpm for redhat or suse >.< [02:13] anyone familiar with installing ubuntu server from an SDHC card? i'm stuck when it tries to load cdrom (which the machine doesnt have) [02:13] ActionParsnip: I know some C after the third or fourth language its all just syntax [02:13] gometz: its not advised at all [02:13] !alien | gometz [02:13] gometz: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [02:13] hello [02:13] everyone [02:13] <_2> Bsims no C [02:13] I need gelp with feisty [02:13] gometz: id compile source for compatibility [02:13] yeah, using alien... first time i used it i added --scripts... that's what complained about chkconfig [02:14] Anyone know how to get a WMP54G wireless card working?

[02:37] KingOfDos, sounds like a problem with the screen, not the kub, but i don't have a solution [02:37] <_2> KingOfDos very likely. specally if you were trying to get the highest rez/refresh out of it you could. [02:38] can anyone help me and tell me how to burn mkv file in ubuntu? [02:38] could anyone please help me with janusVM in ubuntu? [02:38] i just wanted that 3d look to it [02:38] is there a way to get that [02:39] tatter: beryl is the old way of doing 3D spinning cubes and other effects.. if you have 3D drivers setupp such as nvidia or ati u can enable new compiz fusion instead [02:39] <_2> KingOfDos i'm just saying i have read the warnings on several things, like svgatextmode for example. that say plainly "experiment at your own risk, setting the rates too high can destroy your hardware!" just a thought. [02:39] tatter: do you have 3d grphics? [02:39] i have an on board grphic card [02:40] will that work [02:40] tatter: maybe [02:40] so what would i have to do to get that 3d effect [02:40] _2: the screen is working when i'm using the VGA connection instead of the DVI connection [02:40] ]no idea whats the best program to use to burn mkv files? [02:40] tatter: try and enable some 3D drivers look in menu System->Admin->Hardware Drivers and see if you can tick a box, you wiol need to reboot [02:41] wall-e, by burn you mean convert to dvd video, and create a dvd-video disk to play in a dvd player? [02:41] i'll try a "oldscool" setup with no dualscreen [02:41] tatter: install graphics drivers first [02:42] KingOfDos: how is a single display "old skool"? === Strider_ is now known as StriderK [02:42] where would i find a graphic driver [02:42] and the fact is, the "textmode" information comes only on the right screen, and the left screen is'nt working anymore :) [02:42] when i was using windows i just put the mkv file on data dvd and played perfect in ps3! but ubuntu just give errror [02:42] Can someone help me out with a stereo headset problem? [02:42] tatter: look in menu System->Admin->Hardware Drivers and see if you can tick a box, you wiol need to reboot [02:42] <_2> ok i have a futureistic question. or line of questions. i am not yet at this point. but i know nothing about windows, and will in a day or two be trying to connect vista and ubuntu. i know that putty can ssh windows to linux (provided sshd is running on linux) but how can i access the windows vista from linux ? [02:42] ActionParsnip: i was refering to my setup based on the X11 config with "single screen" setup. not for dual/single screen in general :) [02:43] <_2> networking help please ^ [02:43] _2: share the folder with a rightclick then smbmount [02:43] it say no propreatary drivers are in use on this system [02:43] <_2> ActionParsnip any special packages needed in either os ? [02:43] _2: make sure your firewall allows the traffic [02:43] so basicly i just want to get the mkv file to dvd! unless anyone can tell me how to get it directly to ps3? [02:43] tatter: can you activate one? is there an in the list? [02:43] no [02:43] its blank [02:43] _2: samba in linux for smbmount [02:44] <_2> ActionParsnip k. check firewall and get correct ip. share folder and smbmount it. is that all ? anyway to run a command on the vista box ? [02:44] _2: you could rdp with rdesktop [02:44] tatter: Unfortunately, integrated chipsets often aren't capable of direct rendering, necessary for compiz to function. [02:45] _2: i'd powered of my computer AND the screen for a while. and now it's working again :) [02:45] ok so no 3d effect huh [02:45] tatter: it might not work then. if you want to try anyway goto System->Prefs->Appearance and click on the Visual Effects tab then try to choose extra [02:45] hi, i have real-player 11 installed but even then i cant play real audio on firefox... the plugins segfault [02:45] bobertdos: compiz is quite light. it just ruins everything else [02:45] note to self: do NOT use the console directly from my computer for a while. at least when i'm not switching "back" to X11 (only for a full restart) [02:45] oh i can make the window flimsy [02:45] <_2> ActionParsnip rdesktop you say? what about telnet anything i could connect to like that in vista ? [02:45] ive allready did that [02:46] tatter: oh good sign! [02:46] _2: you could install a telnet server [02:46] tatter: if no 3d it says sorry cant enable at that point! [02:46] <_2> k [02:46] okay well thanks anyway!?! [02:46] ActionParsnip: haha, I know, but I wasn't really talking about its weight either [02:46] <_2> ActionParsnip thanks for the info that will point me in the right dirrection. [02:46] ok bummer so what else could i do with linux what are the high points of it [02:46] bobertdos: i think compiz is garbage === Eisbar is now known as Jesus [02:47] tatter: if you have wobbly windows it should be working? [02:47] tatter: do they wobble? [02:47] i can only switch only 2 windows i dont get the cube effect [02:47] tatter: yes you need to install something [02:47] ActionParsnip: I more or less agree/ I used to use it, and I've always had hardware capable of it, but I got very irritated with it, very quickly. [02:47] but yea, I was kind of worry'd that my expencive screen whas damaged. but even when that whas a fact, then i'd just did a bugsubmit to ubuntu. and send the screen back so they will fix it for me (waranty :) ) [02:48] ok? [02:48] The effects that Compiz gives are more in the nature of a bonus for me than a major selling point of linux [02:48] <_2> KingOfDos so a hard reset did the trick ? [02:48] bobertdos: same here, fluxbox all the way for me [02:48] goto System->Admin->Synaptic [02:48] yea that is what sold me [02:48] tatter: goto System->Admin->Synaptic [02:48] _2: i'd did a hard reset of the screen, for about 2 minutes. [02:49] and then what do i do there [02:49] esysinfo [02:49] unusual problem: I have default gnome installation, also have e and xfce and flux desktops, when i try and run a diff desktop i get booted back to log in, seemingly randomly, after about 1 hours. Happened with XFCE, and with flux. Anyone ver heard of such a thing? [02:49] tatter: type compiz in search box you should get about 20-30 results [02:49] <_2> KingOfDos yeah. i would probably still disable kernel framebuffering for safty sake on that particular combo. [02:49] Grey_Loki: agreed [02:49] KingOfDos: your issue is not really a ubuntu issue it's a nvidia driver issue [02:49] e sysinfo [02:50] ok did that [02:50] hi, i have real-player 11 installed but even then i cant play real audio on firefox... the plugins segfault [02:50] tatter: you want to install compiz-fusion-plugins-main, compiz-fusion-plugins-extra and compizconfig-settings-manager [02:50] <_2> kitche yes, and imo ubuntu shouldnt be supplying a driver it can't support. [02:50] tatter: you might have the first already [02:51] tatter: to install one righht click on it and choose Mark for installation [02:51] green box means i have it? [02:51] _2: if you say so [02:51] hey [02:51] tatter: yes whgite means not installed [02:51] tatter: yup [02:51] <_2> it's just an opinion [02:51] who here has run ubuntu on an eeepc ? [02:51] tatter: the important ones are Extra plugins and settings-manager === djhash_ is now known as djhash [02:52] devslashnull: ive had it running ok [02:52] kitche: i wont say that it's a direct "ubuntu" problem, it's only happening on "ubuntu" with some kind of 3rd party (in this case nvidia or x11, or kde 4.1). [02:53] tatter: click the apply button once you have made selection [02:53] <_2> when an opensource org. supplies a binary driver, it is catch 22 damned if you do and damned if you don't. you can't support it. but you are for all practical purposes, the source of the broken thing. [02:53] ok i had them all except compizconfig-setting-manger bob cfc [02:54] so now what is my next step [02:54] tatter: ok settings manager is like control panel for the effects you need that one to enable the cube [02:54] tatter: click apply button [02:54] i allready downloaded it [02:54] ActionParsnip, did you overclock it [02:54] KingOfDos: it happens on all distros just not ubuntu [02:54] tatter: its good to get your 3d accelleration but compiz eventually gets really annoying [02:55] devslashnull: no, no need [02:55] tatter: and once it's installed, be aware that you need at least 4 horizontal virtual desktops to have the cube actually be a cube :p [02:55] tatter: ok now close synaptic and you should have a new menu to enable effects.. goto System->Prefs->Compiz.... [02:55] tatter: it might be called Advanced effects on hardy i forget i am running interpid ibex [02:55] hi, I'm moving from Windows to Ubuntu and having trouble with my network connection [02:56] thats cool i found it [02:56] kitche: i'd understand that. so i'm not saying its a specific ubuntu problem. but it's happening "in my case" on ubuntu :) [02:56] so do u know how to use it [02:56] can anyone point me to a good how-to/fix that I can start with to troublesshot [02:56] <_2> SnowWrite wireless, wired or dialup ? [02:56] wired [02:56] ethernet .. ubuntu intrepid [02:56] devslashnull: if you use it as a netbook its fast enough [02:57] tatter: ok now there is alot of stuff in there i can't expllain because my food is cooked, but Click 3D cube and Rotate Cube to get started and that should get u spinning .. hint: crtl-alt-mouse1 [02:57] it's a big diffrence if i'd say "it a ubuntu problem" or "its a problem for me at ubuntu" ;) [02:57] SnowWrite, does networking work on the live cd? now about other disrto live cd's ?

And if so, can it be done automatically or do I have to do it manually using a recovery cd? [03:52] Circs¬ its not a critical just a recommended?

[03:53] lianimator, i think thats more of a gnome filemanager/config issue, then a mounting issue. Its just seeing all mounts and showing them. [03:53] gluonman, that should work.Have you tried having the usb in while booting? [03:53] thanks [03:53] After_Math, no. I supposed I should try that. [03:53] nnull: you don't have to update, but generally there is no drawback unless your system is something quite exotic [03:54] gluonman, also [03:54] whats the symbol for file system anyone?

[03:55] I tried putting my fat32 partition in my fstab file so I wouldn't have to manually mount it anymore, but now only root can write anything. Is there some setting I can pass in fstab to make it writable for my normal user? [03:55] After_Math, hold on. I re-created the directory using sudo, which might have been my problem. let me try it again and I'll give you the output. [03:55] Craihhgney, what represents it where? You mean the ICONS? [03:55] gluonman, ok [03:55] no like ./ ~ [03:55] After_Math, funny how these things turn out to be simple little mistakes. It worked. [03:55] Craihhgney, just / [03:56] ah ok [03:56] ty [03:56] Craihhgney, ~ is /home/you/ [03:56] gluonman, haha tell me about it :) glad to see it works [03:56] Keaton: Maybe file permissions?

[04:02] robbiet480: only nic on the machine ? [04:02] circs, if you use partimage, is it posible to set that up to do it automatically? [04:02] DasEi: yeah [04:02] noobuntu: What part do you want to make automagic? [04:02] DasEi: again its a realtek 8138 [04:02] i just got the eth1 up but not able to ping to google [04:03] having it create the image on a regular basis and save to a drive on the network. I like the idea of being able to reinstall exactly as I had the last stable image. [04:03] robbiet480: sudo ifup eth0 , result ? / eeherm, 8138 or 8168 ??? [04:04] noobuntu: I don't know of any software that creates images automatically, you could create a script if you felt ambitious. [04:04] DasEi: eth0: error getting interface flags: no such device [04:05] hmm, beyond my capability, I'm afraid. So you use a recover cd with Partimage on it and then run it each time, right? Is it a lengthy process? [04:05] circs, btw, thanks for the help [04:06] anyone here have an eee pc [04:06] devs, I have a 1000H [04:06] noobuntu: I use ghost for unix because it is filesystem independent unlike partition image. Partition image would be faster and create smaller image files though. [04:07] and part is free, right? Ghost is not? [04:07] noobuntu, i have a 701. have any idea what the default password is [04:07] i want to install 96dpi font's. i think that msttcorefonts is better for me. does the 'sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts' is the right command for this? [04:07] no, but isn't that a harware independent question? [04:08] Hey folks, just wondering whether it's possible to have a 'Connect to server' that uses scp [04:08] lepine: Should be, yes. [04:08] DasEi: No dice. Tried the advice about assigning the directory rw access to anyone too, but still, I have to be root to edit anything. [04:09] circs, what about using something like sbackup? [04:09] For anyone wondering. I figured out the easiest way to upgrade libc to 2.7. Just do a ubuntu upgrade. [04:09] Flannel: can you point me in the right direction? [04:09] If anyone can help me with my internet problem, i would be eternally greatful. Everything I know is on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=946504 Please post your answers there if possible. Thanks!! [04:09] robbiet480: can you look it up graphically in the network manager ? [04:09] DasEi: any ideas? [04:09] DasEi: nope. server install [04:09] lepine: Uh, sorry. I haven't used Connect to Server in forever, but, you should be able to do it just like a regular ftp server, etc. [04:09] noobuntu: That wouldn't achieve what you want I'm afraid. [04:09] 8.10 nvidia issues anyone ? [04:10] foomanchew: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks [04:10] Flannel, thanks [04:10] circs, how often do you create an image? And have you ever had to restore from one? [04:10] upstart is annoying me, and there's noone in #upstart. I have an upstart thingy in /etc/events.d, and it's set up to run the perl script, but when I call it with initctl I get main process terminated with status 2 [04:10] robbiet480: could you pastebin out from : sudo ifconfig [04:10] * lianimator has come back to say that the mount problem is solved [04:11] DasEi: ok. idk how ill get it over to this other computer but ill tryu [04:11] ebay has tourbolister for windows, is there a ubuntu / linux equivalent or work around ????? [04:11] noobuntu: Well being as re-imaging and creating new images is part of my job I'd say about 50 times a day [04:11] Flannel, i'm really sorry ... SSH was indeed there! i was blind, and expecting scp instead :) [04:11] * lianimator umounted the partition in gparted, then remounted [04:11] ST47, just guessing at some things to check.. but be sure to give full absoute paths, and be sure the scripts are executable and start with the proper #!/bin/whatever lines [04:11] circs, lol [04:11] Keaton : the full concerning line from fstab ? remounted it after alternating it ? [04:11] noobuntu: I handle a lot of corporate accounts. [04:11] AFAICT, all done. The command is /usr/bin/perl /home/st47/Perl/IMGBot.pl [04:12] i can su through terminal mode [04:12] howdy [04:12] but I don't know how I can change my user dir for that admin user [04:12] All dependencies are in perl's path or have symlinks from perl's path [04:12] hi [04:12] DasEi: heres the short version. it says eth1 is up with IP and hardware mac address [04:12] ebay has tourbolister for windows, is there a ubuntu / linux equivalent or work around ????? [04:13] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/d383d43cd [04:13] i see. i just have my one laptop and i'm a noob returning to linux for the second time. the thing that turned me off last time is that i knew just enough to get myself in trouble but not enough to restore the system I had running perfectly. so I figured I'd start out right this time. [04:13] Is there a nvidia configuration program I can download to configure dual-screens? [04:13] robbiet480: if its the only nic, I wonder what happened to eht0, so.. its up, and has a staic ip ? [04:13] Ok, I still can't get my WUSB54GV2 to work.. [04:14] DasEi: yeah. it says its up. no ping [04:14] untermensch, have you tried the serial monkey drivers? [04:14] RetrogradCulture you can su ? ok su and edit the /etc/passwd file change only the dir entry for that user [04:14] I have the wusb54G [04:14] cs_student: the what? [04:14] cs_student: v2? [04:14] DasEi: /etc/init.d/networking restart returns something about no such process then OK [04:14] RetrogradCulture or use useradd [04:14] usermod [04:15] untermensch, no. but the rt73 driver probably will work with with v2 as well. Have you tried it? [04:15] RetrogradCulture usermod -d [04:15] does the same thing [04:15] i'd have used useradd or mod but I couldn't figure out what the arg was to make the account admin [04:15] cs_student: never even heard of it. will you tell me more? or give me a link? === After_Math is now known as After_Math_ [04:15] hey guys, whats the difference between the DVD Ubuntu ISO (almost 4 GB) and the CD Ubuntu ISO (under 700 MB)?

I just put the guts of my computer in a new case, now grub can't start ubuntu [04:22] keaton: sudo chown /mnt/sda2 [04:22] SBWTECH: then ubuntu sees it, which app doesnt it work with? [04:22] Please help me.. :/ [04:22] Hello, I am having a problem with my Compaq F700 laptop (go figure, I always have problems with it) -- that is, when ever I start the laptop, it starts gnome in low graphics mode, and the only resolutions I can choose from are 800x600 and 640xsomething, and I believe this is due to me not having the proper drivers. Could anyvody shed any light? [04:22] SBWTECH: you would be best to seek support from whoevere looks after than [04:22] robbiet480: realtek 8138 or 8168 ??? [04:22] SBWTECH: because ubuntu is seeing your card [04:23] DasEi: oh. 8168B [04:23] circs, I have ubuntu only on my laptop. I see sda, sda1, sda2 and sda5. Do all those get backed up? [04:23] the only ones it works with movie player and firefox (i think). it doesnt play the login sounds or anything. [04:23] oh i see [04:23] it has to be a software thing. My XP partition sees it fine and it works fine [04:23] noobuntu: You're going to have to figure out what is on each one of those, but sda1 has your ubuntu install [04:23] how do i execute php script using browser... i am just able to open it not run.... [04:23] did you check your sound settings in the audio mixer? [04:24] you should really ask for help in #alsa i think, they are more into the audio stuff [04:24] yeah. everything seems fine. I'm fairly new to linux, but its not really that much different [04:24] ikay [04:24] i willl try them [04:24] :) [04:24] good luck [04:24] also [04:24] Thanks Zambo [04:24] np, also try opening the mixer (top right) [04:24] and check your levels [04:24] and your output choices [04:24] does anyone use a gnome menu alternative? just curious if there is anything thats any good? [04:24] it could be set to go to a different output by default [04:24] know what i mean? [04:25] I need some help with my Sansa Fuze MP3 player, for some reason when I unmount it Hardy does not recognize it unless I reboot the system, can anyone help? [04:25] okay. like i said, it all seems fine to me, but its probably something small and stupid im missing considering it worked fine yesterday [04:25] robbiet480: so card should be found,next: netmask and ip in order / dhcp or statically set ? [04:25] noobuntu and Circs only sda1 and sda5 will have file systems on them sda2 is the extended that holds sda5 the logical [04:25] no matter which usb port I use [04:25] circs, if I am reading the output from cat /proc/partitions correctly, I see sda1 has 156gigs, sda2 has almost nothign on it and sda5 has 3 gigs. [04:25] DasEi: its on static at the moment [04:25] SBWTECH: what have you done since yesterday mate? again, it could be something tiny in your audio mixer, give it another look i think, or try alsamixer [04:26] keaton: can you write to the parti, now ? [04:26] SBWTECH: you can type alsamixer in the terminal for a different mixer interface [04:26] Guys.. honestly, I don't think it's so difficult to solve my problem, and I know somebody's going to tell me to be patient.. but, jesus christ, it's like I'm being ignored. [04:26] robbiet480:netmask and ip in order [04:26] noobuntu: Yeah just rock sda1 then :) [04:26] i havent really done anything. it just quit working properly. i even reinstalled Ubuntu [04:26] DasEi: correct [04:26] how do i execute php script using browser... i am just able to open and save... i have even changed the permissions. [04:27] DasEi: 255.255.255.0 / 192.168.0.5 [04:27] root, so if I back up sda1, will partimage allow me to output to an external drive (like a thumbdrive)? [04:27] dragon: is php installed? [04:27] sorry, meant circs, but you're more than welcome to answer, root! Thanks both for your help. [04:27] Zambo:yes.. [04:27] noobuntu if size constraints allow yes [04:27] You bunch are usually pretty helpful, I'm not sure what's going on right now, and I'm not at all happy :/ [04:27] im going to #alsa now.

[04:28] Huh? [04:28] robbiet480:any firewall set on the server to permit ping ? [04:28] 0.0 [04:28] I don't see that option, smil3y [04:28] root, can you store the resulting image on one of the partitions? logically, I would say no, but I want to make sure I'm understandiing correctly. [04:28] noobuntu: Yeah it should allow you to put the image wherever there's room for it. [04:28] DasEi: no firewall [04:28] 大家好 [04:28] thanks, circs [04:28] dragon: best bet is, create a file test.php, put the following code in it and then hit that page [04:29] Neo1211> you have to hit escape when it tells you to [04:29] noobuntu obviously you can't possably backup a 1TB partition onto a 2GB device ;/ but in answer to your Q yes if the size permits. [04:29] dragon: if you get prompted to download the page, then php is not correctly configured in apache, if you see the info, then php is working cerroctly [04:29] escape [04:29] for me.. [04:29] Takes me to my boot menu [04:29] robbiet480:how do you connect to the server ? cross/switch... [04:29] Neo1211> unless you physically removed it, its there [04:29] switch [04:30] physically removed what.. [04:30] i see my cd drive, hdd, and net adapter [04:30] that's it. [04:30] robbiet480:led's on nics/switch show connections ? [04:30] Zambo:yes it is prompting to download...how do i go further? [04:30] Neo1211> the recovery kernel! [04:30] where? [04:30] ESC brings up the boot menu for me.. [04:30] roots, but I cannot save a partition image to that same partition, correct? [04:30] you mean at Grub? [04:30] or at POST? [04:31] got it [04:31] Neo1211> wow, scroll back up and read what i said [04:31] noobuntu you would be a nut to try. [04:31] DasEi: yeah [04:31] Sorry.. [04:31] lol [04:31] dragon: ok, you need to configure http.conf to recognise that php is there [04:31] noobuntu so i'll try it and see :))) [04:31] dragon: first, go to a terminal and type ps -ef | grep apache [04:31] dragon: please give me the path it lists [04:32] can I create a backup partition and backup to that? And then save that image to a network drive? I'd like to be able to save the image offsite. [04:32] smil3y, this could just be me being impatient, btut it seems as if it has stalled [04:32] robbiet480:ip of your current machine ? same subnet ?

[04:34] smil3y: you still around? [04:34] dragon: its also possible that the lines are infact already in the file but apache needs a restart to reread the config, look for the word php in the conf file, grep php /usr/sbin/apache2/conf/httpd.conf [04:35] I'm installing ubuntu via wubi on a computer and it only gives me a choice of up to 30GB for the installation, I would like at least 80GB [04:35] root, thanks all the same, I appreciate all the help.

[04:52] Chris_Foster welcome [04:52] RetrogradCulture, not sure what you mean [04:53] smil3y, it would seem that after a restart.. that didn't help [04:53] i'm trying to change the home directory of a user ni the /etc/passwd file [04:53] in [04:53] would anyone like to valunteer for a little experiment?

[04:54] thenetduck: perhaps write to the IBM / vendor / seller [04:54] hey everyone, I have a question about HTML and CSS, I am building a site for my mosque, and I was able to get the layout and everything working like I wanted with the site running in FireFox. Now I'm testing it out on IE and am having two problems, one of them I can fix in IE, but that "fix" causes it to not function properly in FireFox, the other problem I can't figure out how to fix. [04:54] Neo1211> ok, well disable them for now, you know how to do that right, go to hardware drivers disable it and then reboot again [04:54] root______: what was that fuser -something /etc/password command you gave me before? [04:54] could someone help me conecting 2 computers by using crossover ethernet? [04:54] smil3y, right. [04:54] cable [04:55] thenetduck: on the macbooks that is handled by the bios, enabled no matter what OS is installed, not sure on the ibms [04:55] The website is here www.icclaycounty.org the site is very bare right now, except for the "Plans" section which has content [04:55] smil3y, oh.. would you look at that. [04:55] smil3y, they aren't enabled right now [04:55] the main body will only line up properly in one browser at a time [04:55] I can't seem to get the navigation links aligned properly in IE though [04:55] can someone help me out with that possibly? [04:55] remu you should probably try #html [04:56] Neo1211> gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look for "driver" make sure it says nv not nvidia [04:56] cool, thanks [04:56] np [04:56] Arney: what's that about [04:56] smil3y [04:56] robbiet480:/etc/resolv.conf is for dns, but pinging internal network ..should be the network settings [04:56] Neo1211> as root [04:56] VNC [04:56] I have a modified xorg.conf, should I revert it? [04:56] im checking if it works on wine [04:56] downloading now [04:56] it does work if i use it from wine... not sure if the other way around [04:56] Neo1211> no just change the driver to nv [04:57] robbiet480:does your router serve dhcp ? [04:57] does* [04:57] Under linux,wo have to use wine to run it ,right? [04:57] ya [04:57] smil3y, changed to nv.. now, restart? [04:58] so what do you mean "it does work if i use it from wine... not sure if the other way around" [04:58] Neo1211> u got it [04:58] network-attached storage [04:58] i can connect to a remote computer from wine [04:58] sorry--wrong window. [04:58] not sure if a remote computer can connect to wine [04:58] Neo1211> yeah if it doesnt work now someone else is going to have to chime in, that always works for me when x is broken [04:58] Arney: seeing as how vnc has native clients and servers for linux, why would you want to do all this under wine? [04:59] it works on mac and windows [04:59] i think i finally got my problem fixed [04:59] brb [04:59] Arney: vnc has native clients and servers for linux [04:59] itsa 1mb program and extremely easy to set up, works around firewalls and NATs...

[05:02] it dosnt work [05:02] robbiet480: does your router serve dhcp ? [05:02] same thing happened on another wine [05:03] but it shows that:the session with 12526964 is finished [05:03] DasEi: yeah [05:03] http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewer_Setup.exe [05:03] shaozthen [05:03] Is there a way to start X in a "safe mode" I think its trying to start w/ to high a res. [05:03] run that on wine and connect to me [05:03] OK [05:03] I will try [05:03] or how can you manually configure X to use a lower res? [05:04] robbiet480: try setting the server and workbox to dhcp-receive then, not static [05:04] I'm trying to install some compiz plugins. I upgraded to the latest compiz version from the repository and restarted, and I used git clone to get some gits of the plugins in my ~/compiz folder. But when I use sudo make, it says "Makefile:48: *** [ERROR] Compiz not installed. Stop." What should I do? [05:04] root______: yes even after restarting [05:04] DasEi: ok [05:05] Arney:I'm sorry I have no idea what to do to conect to you [05:06] type this on ID: 129 526 964 [05:06] dragon not still viewing the same page in the same browser window are you ? [05:06] thats my pass: 7803 [05:06] root______:no [05:07] I cannot type in,just say that "tell your partner the following ID to connect to your desktop [05:07] thats the quick version [05:07] I see [05:07] use the real version if you wanna take over my pc [05:07] http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewer_Setup.exe [05:07] what would use dprofile on a typical server? [05:07] sorry dnotify [05:08] dragon then i give up. check in #apache if no one here answeres. [05:08] DasEi: its got a DHCP from the router now but cant ping out [05:08] still [05:08] dnotify has a bug in it and it's crashing my servers, so I have to work out what's using it and kill it [05:08] when i first installed ubuntu i had a notification of prop ati drivers on the top right. after updating its not there anymore? how do i get it back? [05:10] hey guys, I'm a first-time user of ubuntu, I normally use slackware, can anyone tell me why my C compiler doesn't want to install nmap? [05:10] robbiet480: I become more clueless, hosts allowed, ifconfig on both correct (eth0<>eth1 ?!,though ok dhcp accepted), dns set by dhcp... broken nic ? [05:10] Why would the 'c compiler' want to 'install' nmap? [05:10] firead: what's wrong with the nmap in the repos? [05:11] or do you meanyou cant get nmap to 'compile' ? [05:11] robbiet480: tired ping as root, of course [05:11] *tried [05:12] centr0: You can get to the same screen by going to the "restricted drivers manager" under admin [05:12] can any guide me to config apache to run php script.. as browser is prompting me to download not running the test script... [05:12] Flannel: thanks [05:12] got it [05:12] robbiet480: I'm beginning to gues, next I'd compare the settings on the /etc/network folder , also check ufw ,firestarter or similar [05:13] is there anyone that can help me enable Active Hard Drive Protection on my ThinkPad r61? [05:13] firead: Again, what's wrong with the nmap in the repos? (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nmap) [05:13] yeh willis I can't get it compile [05:13] firead: Really, there's no reason to compile it. [05:13] Arney:are you still there? your ID and pass [05:13] 129 526 964 [05:14] i pmed the pass [05:14] is there anyway to turn up the sound on my system other than alsamixer from cli? [05:14] sorry? your password? [05:14] 7803 [05:15] success [05:15] robbiet480: is there a /etc/network/interfaces on the server ? [05:15] I see your desktop [05:15] firead: sudo apt-get install nmap [05:16] if you had a faster connection (assuming you dont) you could set it to HQ mode and it would show my Wallpaper [05:16] hey i messed up on my source.list but i made backup how do i restore? [05:16] how fast is your connection? [05:16] is there a non-noob and no error-riddled twin-panel GUI file manager for ubuntu [05:16] like mc [05:16] Arney:where it shows? [05:16] like krusader [05:16] it dosn't [05:17] centr0: right click the volume horn on top right and choose Volume Control [05:17] LogicalThought: Just replace it. Or open up your old one in a text editor and copy/paste the contents [05:18] LimCore, use mc. :) or theres proberly 5+ other 2 pane file managers, gentoo, worker, filerunner, krusader, others... [05:18] you under windows? [05:18] currently [05:18] ugh anyone here good with audio cards? i have an audigy2 and can't seem to get the aux to work [05:18] legend2440: thanks :) [05:18] what packages do I need to install to get nfs-client working? [05:18] Flannel thanks [05:19] naknomik: nfs-client should be the only package you need [05:19] Arney: I send you message,got it? [05:19] naknomik: if you just want to connect to an nfs server anyways [05:19] !nfs [05:19] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [05:19] Does anyone have an I B M Thinkpad that has HDPS enabled? with Ubuntu? I need help gettin mine up and running [05:20] you saw what i saw... so no. [05:20] dulak: it says there is no such thing as nfs-client. Package nfs-client is a virtual package provided by: [05:20] nfs-common 1:1.1.2-2ubuntu2.1 [05:20] what does this mean? [05:22] naknomik: yeah, I was just reading the link the bot gave [05:22] thenetduck: thinkwiki has good instructions on it. I can't remember if it was the Ubuntu instructions, or the Debian instructions though. [05:23] dr_willis: mc is not gui [05:24] dr_willis: krusader is best, but contains brain dead bugs [05:24] Flannel it's the debian instructions [05:24] naknomik:dulak:for the server needes packs : nfs-common nfs-kernel-server portmap , client only : nfs-common portmap [05:24] thenetduck: Assuming the packages they want are in Ubuntu, those instructions will work. [05:24] LimCore, i use mc in a terminal as my main file manager under X. i consider it a gui. :) not a X gui.. but stillits a GUI [05:24] there any way i can search a term in apt-get? [05:24] centr0: apt-cache search [foo] [05:24] centr0: er, without the brackets [05:24] I have downloaded an application (tar.gz file, extracted) and would like to know the best place to put apps that I don't install via apt-get [05:25] keystr0k: /usr/local/* [05:25] I was going to put it in a folder and make a launcher for it. [05:25] LimCore, test out 'worker' and 'gentoo' theres a few others out also. check the package manager for filemanager [05:25] so make a folder in local for the app? [05:25] robbiet480: is there a /etc/network/interfaces on the server ?want to go on your own ? [05:25] keystr0k: If its all contained in a single folder, that goes in /opt/ [05:25] Why is it not possible to check if dma is enabled? hdparm -d /dev/sda prints HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device. /dev/sda is an ide disk. [05:25] Flannel: ah.. '-cache'~! [05:25] keystr0k: No, it'd be /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib/ etc, etc. [05:25] thanks [05:25] <[radithz]> uid=1000(irvian) gid=1000(irvian) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),109(lpadmin),114(fuse),118(admin),1000(irvian) [05:25] <[radithz]> 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Thanks :) [05:26] lastman: try hdparm -i /dev/sda instead [05:26] lastman, with the changes to the ide subsystem and everything showing up as sd** now.. hdparm dosent really work right much any more. Intheory dma should alwys be getting enabled now a days [05:27] Flannel, is it normal that my "opt" folder has nothing in it (fresh Ubuntu install today) [05:27] i love this apt-get.. no more failed installs because of dependencies [05:27] keystr0k: yeah. [05:27] Flannel, cool. [05:27] thanks again [05:27] when installing Mplayer I run the configure file and it gives me this message "Error: Cannot find header either inttypes.h or bitypes.h. There is no chance for compilation to succeed. [05:27] " why? [05:28] freeman_: What's wrong with the mplayer in the repositories? [05:28] firead: ^^ that was for you [05:28] Hi. I'm trying to setup wlan0 using iwconfig and only iwconfig (i.e. without using any GUI). The strange thing is it doesn't seem to be working properly. iwconfig wlan0 essid, freq, channel, etc, are not working. Whatever I set it to has no effect. essid always stays ESSID:off/any [05:28] no error messages, nor any kind of output from the iwconfig command whatsoever [05:28] has anyone experienced this? [05:28] wireless network problem [05:29] firead: I suggest you take a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto It'll explain how to find packages, install them, etc. Really, there's little, if anything, you'll need to compile. [05:29] ... yes, it's a wireless network problem. [05:29] could you expand on that? [05:29] hmm. i installed the flashplayer plugin! wth! [05:29] Arney:you close it? [05:29] I'll try thnx but I tried to compile it cos I could find a package [05:29] yeah... you were on? [05:30] shawn-p: iwconfig doesn't work with all chipsets. I know my ALFA doesn't work with iwconfig. You might look into that. [05:30] you quit so I quit [05:30] i thought it crashed and it was stalling [05:30] can anyone tell me which version of swiftfox to use with an intel atom processor? [05:30] firead: mplayer is in the universe repo, go to system->admin->software resources and enable universe then you will find mplayer [05:30] theres enhanced mplayer versions in the medibuntu repos also. [05:30] how do I give a user admin privs from command line? [05:30] Arney:I see your wallpaper [05:30] I am using the Beta version of Ubuntu 8.10. Once the final is releasered will I have to download it, or will the updates take care of everything? [05:31] kab3wm: I'm using the bcm413 drivers that came with the installation CD of the hardware (via ndiswrapper) [05:31] !sudo | RetrogradCulture [05:31] RetrogradCulture: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [05:31] oh you configured it [05:31] yup [05:31] !bitchx [05:31] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [05:31] so it works [05:31] ima reinstall pidgin [05:31] bitchx is dead i think [05:31] dont think its in repos anymore [05:31] you can connect if you want.. [05:31] check out weechat [05:31] why?any problem? [05:31] DasEi: im sorry. yeah there is [05:31] OK [05:31] kab3wm: If I do "iwlist wlan0 scan" then I can see my wireless access point "Mondair" [05:31] i know how to use sudo [05:31] I just can't figure out how to connect to it... [05:31] After_Math: It'll upgrade to final just fine [05:31] do you have any ideas? [05:32] does anyone know of a good channel for asking questions about trouble shooting the line in on an audio card under ubuntu media? [05:32] but how do I add admin privs to a user? [05:32] Flannel, great thanks :) [05:32] Scan completed: Cell 01 - ESSID:"Mondair" Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11) Encryption key:on, etc [05:32] I'm just not sure how to instruct wlan0 to connect to that access point. [05:32] robbiet480: np for time, I have to straight advice, so you could try yourself, but , in there : [05:33] shawn-p: Hrmm.. that was my only suggestion. I don't have any experience with broadcom/wifi and Linux, sorry. [05:33] someone available to help with some hardware problems? [05:33] no problem, thanks. [05:33] shawn-p, What kind of encryption is it? [05:33] robbiet48: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp [05:33] FreshUbuntuNoob: WEP, 64-bit hex [05:33] I've specified the hex key in my /etc/networking/interfaces file [05:33] wireless signal scan? [05:33] shawn-p, And it still doesn't connect? [05:34] how do i add admin status to a user from the command line? with sudo [05:34] Retro: under linux it is not advised to give a user admin rights. THis is were sudo and root come into play. If you look at howtoforge.(something) you can find a tutorial on how to set up the root account. I find adding that can help make some admin actions easier than typing sudo all the time. [05:34] RetrogradCulture: visudo [05:34] I'm not sure how to determine whether wlan0 is connected to the access point... however, both "ping 192.168.2.1" and "ping google.com" fail [05:34] (192.168.2.1 is the address of my wireless router.) [05:34] robbiet48: (2lines) ^shall be there, add : dns-nameservers [05:34] RetrogradCulture: add the user to the admin group, that gives sudo access [05:34] ever since i reinstalled windows with slipstreamed AHCI drivers pidgin has been ugly [05:35] that's what i'm asking heh [05:35] shawn-p, iwconfig will provide you what configration your card is set at [05:35] i cant make it pretty again [05:35] how do i add it to that group? [05:35] I need help adding a module to my kernel does anyone know how to do this? [05:35] that reminds me [05:35] RetrogradCulture: visudo [05:35] RetrogradCulture: sudo adduser username admin [05:35] help plz....i was trying to install windows on this slave drive i plugged in, but when i start to format the drive, it goes to 10% then stops, and a screen comes up saying, cannot format the drive, the drive may be damaged. if this is a scsi drive, please make sure all other scsi connections are terminated....wtf...ive tried different IDE cable, setting it as master drive...but nothing is working....i even did like 3 passe [05:35] s on the drive, and then reformatted with fdisk...still no luck... [05:35] Retro are you asking how to give a user admin rights or how to log into the admin account? [05:35] isn't there something called insmod? [05:35] listen to dulak :) [05:35] install module? [05:35] slushpuppeh can you help me out here [05:36] you can control my comp after all... [05:36] ya ineed to install a module [05:36] DoYouKnow: that's been deprecated in favor of modprobe [05:36] FreshUbuntuNoob: That's the strange part... wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 Ghz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:54 MB/s Tx-Power:32 dBm RTS thr:2347 B Fragment thr:2346 B Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 [05:36] I can't watch my DVDs.....have 8.10 installed...Have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras...any ideas? [05:36] i will, cause what kab3wm didn't make ense to me heh [05:36] and commands like "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid Mondair" fail to change that [05:36] robbiet48: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart after saving above, try again [05:36] Oh, i have even tried rebooting computer. [05:36] iwconfig wlan0 still reports an ESSID of "off/any" [05:36] alabamahit: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks. [05:36] alabamahit, you need the dcss stuff i imagine. [05:36] RetrogradCulture: whats not to understand? From the command line, type in: visudo [05:36] I just need to install a think called ....hdaps_ec [05:37] XGL+Compiz problemo. when i get to part where i have to install the 4 packages, i get this error on the terminal "dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area" whyyyyyy? [05:37] i still suggests just adding a password to the root account. give me a sec and i will give you the command [05:37] anyone know how I can install a module named hdaps_ec [05:37] Flannel: Ok, thanks.. [05:37] shawn-p, Which commands are you issue to connect? [05:37] OscarTGrouch: please don't recommend that here. [05:37] OscarTGrouch: that's a bad habit [05:37] wow sorry but i think that it is better than adding you user to the admin group [05:38] OscarTGrouch: That's incorrect. [05:38] OscarTGrouch: the admin group is for sudo access, that is correct procedure [05:38] FreshUbuntuNoob: My /etc/network/interfaces file reads as follows: auto lo\n iface lo inet loopback\n iface wlan0 inet dhcp\n wireless-essid Mondair\n wireless-key XXXXXXXXXX\n auto wlan0 [05:38] XGL+Compiz problemo. when i get to part where i have to install the 4 packages, i get this error on the terminal "dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area" whyyyyyy? [05:38] OscarTGrouch: enabling a disabled account, or adding a user to a group designed for admin access? [05:38] I will reboot and begin issuing commands to try to connect to the wireless access point.. I'll report the commands here. [05:38] manizzle: for windows support try channel ##windows [05:38] i am still new to this so pardon my question, but wouldnt that then give the user root access? [05:39] OscarTGrouch: root is disabled for a reason, and should stay that way [05:39] OscarTGrouch: It gives them admin rights, yes. What's the problem? [05:39] OscarTGrouch: that's what he wanted to do, give admin access to a user [05:39] i was allway under the impression that under basic use you shouldnt always have admin rights. one use sudo or root when you need to. [05:39] lol [05:40] !sudo [05:40] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [05:40] i cant see my wireless network [05:40] plz help [05:40] what command will list a user's group(s)? [05:40] RetrogradCulture: groups [05:40] OscarTGrouch: being in the admin group doesn't give you access to root programs without using sudo [05:40] hmm [05:40] OscarTGrouch: with sudo, you don't always have admin access, only when you're using sudo. [05:40] XGL+Compiz problemo. when i get to part where i have to install the 4 packages, i get this error on the terminal "dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area" whyyyyyy? [05:40] OscarTGrouch: that is, only when you invoke something with sudo [05:40] ham: I'm providing more info than that. Gimme some credit. [05:40] RetrogradCulture: groups username [05:40] ty [05:40] I have a camera called VuPoint model dc-c310-vp that when i plug it into the usb ubuntu doesn't detect it. Any idea how to fix this problem? [05:40] here we go again! brb [05:41] ok this is making sense. thanks for explaining [05:42] Trapline: Have you typed in dmesg in a terminal to see what it says when you plug it in? [05:42] help! I get this error message when installing an RPM using alien: [05:42] mkdir: cannot create directory `VMware-server-2.0.0': File exists [05:43] shawn-p, okay [05:44] I can't find my wireless network card [05:44] and i wanna a tool to scan the wireless signal [05:44] ham, iwlist [INTERFACE_NAME] scan [05:44] can anyone explain to me how fireftp works? [05:44] Flannel, as you suggested earlier, I extracted my application into its own folder in /opt. My user account doesn't have privs to modify this folder.

I get this error message when installing an RPM using alien: [05:44] mkdir: cannot create directory `VMware-server-2.0.0': File exists [05:45] FreshUbuntuNoob: he's just poking fun at me. [05:45] Is the latest version of 32 bit Ubuntu stable? I recall the previous one being very buggy and not having java support among a few other things [05:45] keystr0k: No, don't chown it. Use sudo to gain access. [05:45] Does anyone know how to load a module into ubuntus kernel? [05:45] thenetduck: sudo modprobe modulename [05:45]  thenetduck: modrobe [05:45] elbermungster: Try it with --force [05:45] dulak, is that going work every time I load my os? [05:45] that works well except I want to launch this program from my apps menu... should I just add sudo to the beginning of the command? [05:45] shawn-p, Sorry I can't really jump to the solution here. I had quite a heck of a time setting up the network myself. It was a pain, until I hardcoded my network, and then later switched to wicd [05:46]  thenetduck: put in /etc/modules [05:46] :( [05:46] thenetduck: you can add the module to /etc/modules for it to be loaded at every boot [05:46] it's okay [05:46] the strange thing is that iwconfig appears to not work at all [05:46] dulak, than kyou [05:46] shawn-p, You are doing a sudo right? [05:46] e.g. "iwconfig wlan0 essid Mondair" does not change the essid that "iwconfig" reports [05:46] yep [05:46] does anyone know of a program that can run a virtual drive for a disc image file [05:46] kab3wm : doesn't work [05:46] nevermind [05:46] iwconfig wlan0 reports an essid of "off/any" [05:46] Can anyone tell me how stable the 8.04 32 bit is? [05:46] elbermungster: same error? [05:46] yes [05:47] , but i can't see the interface name now [05:47] dulak is there a way to see if ubuntu has this module all ready? [05:47] elbermungster: are you installing vmware? [05:47]  tj__: see man mount, option loop [05:47] thenetduck: sudo lsmod [05:47] yeah [05:47] thenetduck: that shows currently loaded modules [05:47] shawn-p, which card is it? [05:47] i use the ifconfig ,but can't see the wireless interface [05:47] DasEi: Thanks [05:47] elbermungster: So it sounds like its having problems because the directory already exists.. Have you tried deleting that directory and trying to install again? [05:47]  tj__:np [05:48] Flannel, If I want to keep the app in my home directory, what is the best folder? I'd like to have full control over the app's folder, without needing to use sudo. [05:48] ham, that would mean that the driver of your card is not loaded [05:48] [05:48] how come in safe mode?

[05:50] kebomix: open a terminal.. [05:50] kebomix, one sec [05:50] FreshUbuntuNoob: apparently I'm in the same boat as ham [05:50] elbermungster: try: find / -name '04:46 < DasEi> thenetduck: put in /etc/modules [05:51] oops.. [05:51] shawn-p, Are you using ndiswrapper? [05:51] DasEi: then [05:51] kebomix, sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk -o force [05:51] assuming you ahve already created the folder [05:51] elbermungster: try find / -name 'VMware-server-2.0.0' [05:51] kebomix: name of the ntfs parti ? [05:52] but my card is intel [05:52] kebomix, wait, how do you make a mount point? [05:52] kebomix: if unsure, use : sudo fdisk -l [05:52] FreshUbuntuNoob: here's what happened. I bought a new wireless card for my tower. (The router is too far away for a physical link.) I went to wal-mart and selected a Linksys SpeedBooster PCI adapter card. (WMP54GS.) That was probably a poor decision in hindsight, but meh. So I slap it in the tower and fire up ubuntu and it appears to recognize the card as 'eth2' [05:52] it worked [05:52] however, it doesn't show up in ifconfig.. so therefore the driver probably wasn't installed [05:52] but every time i reboot i have to make this code ? [05:52] I could use iwconfig to change its settings however. [05:52] it just wouldn't work. [05:52] ... [05:52] so I download ndiswrapper and start following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_(ndiswrapper)?highlight=(WifiDocs/Device [05:52] kebomix, I am sure there is automount [05:52] kebomix, you have to enable it, Im not sure how to do that [05:53] i wanna a tool can scan wireless signal and choose the network, [05:53] notice that the guide tells me to blacklist the default broadcom driver [05:53] which I did [05:53] Can anyone tell me the advantage of using Ubuntu over Debian please? [05:53] my computer always connect to others network [05:53] so I blacklisted "bcm43xx" (by adding "blacklist bcm43xx" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist) [05:53] Is someone is right know online in the amsn? because my amsn do want me to log in, it say server unavailable, can I do something? [05:53] !best|BetaTest [05:53] BetaTest: 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. [05:53] BetaTest: Bleeding edge repository. Debian is stale. [05:53] I have jnlp (Java Applet) downloaded from topcoder.com, which I am not able to run, can anyone help me please? [05:53] BetaTest: faster release cycle, more up to date packages [05:53] then I copied the driver from the CD that came with the linksys hardware [05:53] and used ndiswrapper to install it. [05:54] (sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmw15.inf) [05:54] BetaTest: I still run debian on some servers that don't need to be bleeding-edge [05:54] then I run the next two commands it tells me to: [05:54] sudo depmod -a [05:54] sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [05:54] kebomix: wanna go on ? [05:54] shawn-p, But isn't your a Linksys? bcmw15.inf would change [05:55] DasEi: i have another 4 gb empty partition ntfs , when i open it , the partition that i mounted files appear on it ! [05:55] kebomix: one after the other... [05:55] yeah [05:55] another partition [05:55] well, in the CD that came with the hardware, under the 'drivers' folder, there are two folders: Vista and XP_2K. Under XP_2K, there are a few files: bcm43xx.cat, bcmwl5.inf, bcmwl5.sys, bcmwl564.sys [05:55] kebomix: terminal open..., sudo mkdir /dev/sda1 [05:56] I copied those 4 files off the cd, then used ndiswrapper to install it like so: [05:56] sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmw15.inf [05:56] cant create [05:56] kebomix: do a : fdisk -l to determine the other device name [05:56] so... yes, it's a linksys. However, I'm using the drivers from the cd that came with it. :) [05:56] kebomix: can't ? [05:56] kebomix, what exactly are you tring to do?

[05:57] another thing... "sudo ifup wlan0" doesn't appear to function correctly [05:57] DasEi: no thing [05:57] there's some output, followed by: [05:57] shawn-p, I personally prefer sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [05:57] DasEi: but i have gparted [05:58] kebomix, do this " sudo mkdir /home/mount" then "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/"partition wanting to mount" /home/mount -o force [05:58] how can i look up if my sound card is installed correctly? and test to see if my line in is working?

[05:58] shawn-p, That is dhclient kicking in, the dhcp client [05:58] is there a way to force the locate command to update?

[05:59] yeah [05:59] zero__: There are a number of unsafe things done by default; some of these things cause you to never be able to successfully upgrade to later releases, etc. [05:59] I'm using it via this computer [05:59] Flannel, ah i see [05:59] zero__: other things break the package manager, etc. Lots of stuff healthy systems don't want. [05:59] kebomix: the first upon was sda1 :  sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk -o force [05:59] shawn-p, Hold on, let me look at the driver [06:00] Where is hardy-backports located? [06:00] Hi all...........i have a spiderman cd how can i install it [06:00] i see, and is there a way to backup my system? i tried some stuff from minipe (ghost etc) and i can never get the images to restore [06:00] kebomix: so the second, the 4gb ntfs is ? [06:00] DasEi: yeah [06:01] zero__: you can use tar [06:01] that's a funny way to back everything up [06:01] bruenig, what is tar? [06:01] DasEi: i feel that they became connected on mounting when i made force mounting [06:01] how do you edit the menu.lst file in the term.? [06:01] zero__, archive [06:01] zero__, like zip [06:01] well [06:02] DasEi: how to unmount them ? [06:02] i know about .tar, but what do you mean about tar and my system restore? [06:02] Hi all...........pls help me install a game of spiderman cd !! [06:02] kebomix: figure out the right device names, sudo fdisk -l or gparted.... [06:02] vikku: Does the box say it will install in Linux? [06:02] !backup | zero__ [06:02] zero__: There are many ways to back your system up.

You are advised to unmount them manually [06:03] After_Math: what is wine ? [06:03] does hitman play on wine ? [06:03] kebomix: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [06:03] vikku: Then like After_Math said, you will probably need to learn how to use Wine.. and that probably won't work, but it's your best shot. [06:03] vikku it's a Windows emulator [06:03] !appdb | vikku [06:03] vikku: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [06:04] DasEi: i have it already installed [06:04] kab3wm : it said the problem was at line 257 of Package.pm, so I deleted it.

[06:05] OK ...has anybody tried Hitman on Wine ? [06:05] vikku: You'd want to ask that in #winehq, and also you don't need to repeat your question. [06:05] DCPom, you mean move all the stuff in the directory somewhere.. then delete the directory.. No command that i know of.. it wouldbe a fairly simple script. [06:05] DasEi: i want to unmount both of then then i will format 4 gb partition to Fat 32 then i will mount force again the first one [06:05] kebomix: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [06:05] Flannel: :( ok [06:06] dr_willis, well, i suppose i know the commands to do that, i wasn't sure if there was an easier one [06:06] FreshUbuntuNoob: Any luck? :) [06:06] Is someone is right know online in the amsn? because my amsn do want me to log in, it say server unavailable, can I do something? [06:06] vikku: #winehq is full of people who are much more familiar with wine than the people here. They'll be able to help you more. [06:06] http://pastebin.com/f1e2adebe [06:07] Of course they will most likely also tell you to check the wine app-database [06:07] is "." current directory or top directory? [06:07] shawn-p, Apparently, the WMP54GS uses the broadcom chipset. I am not sure, are you aware of this?

[06:08] shawn-p, Broadcom native support under Linux is quite nice. I have been running it for quite some time now === johnson is now known as Guest76785 [06:08] Guys, is there any way to change from gnome to KDE without losing all the installed packages? [06:08] geeky_goowy: install kubuntu-desktop [06:08] shawn-p, My first attempt was via ndiswrapper as well. But just like any other wrapper, I didn't like the flakyness. I installed it natively, and it just works [06:08] kebomix: so with the force-cmd aboce you tried to remount root, lol, [06:08] Someone linked me to the commands to change the default Java before, could someone do that again? [06:08] I'm running ubuntu 7.10... I'm not sure if the broadcom support was as nice as it is in the latest rev. But the native support didn't appear to work [06:09] rmdir -f . will remove the current directory, right? (sorry for so many questions) [06:09] DasEi : no i changed it to sda5 :D [06:09] (ifconfig could not see the device) [06:09] shawn-p, Credit given. I have only worked with Hardy [06:09] geeky_goowy, just install kubuntu on top of ubuntu sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:09] kebomix: sda5 is your fat32 one, sda7 is ntfs, you wanto to fat 32, right ? [06:09] Flannel: probably sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop?? [06:09] geeky_goowy: That would be the command, yes. [06:09] DasEiL i want to unmount ntfs partitions [06:10] kebomix: sudo umount /dev/sda7 [06:10] shawn-p, Make sure that you installed the right version for your driver. Like you said there were many [06:10] ??? [06:10] hmm.. make sure I installed the right version of which? [06:10] Flannel: i got a kubuntu 8.04 cd.. i don't want to download the DKE package as 'm almost out of free bandwidth.. is there any way to use 'CD as a repository' like on debian? [06:10] geeky_goowy: Is it a Kubuntu desktop CD or a Kubuntu alternate CD? [06:11] flannel:desktop cd [06:11] shawn-p, You said there were many bcmxxx.ini files. Make sure you insatlled the one for your card [06:11] geeky_goowy: then no. You'd need the alternate CD to have it act as the repository. [06:11] oh ok.. [06:11] flannel- thanks.. :) [06:11] Someone linked me to the commands to change the default Java before, could someone do that again? [06:12] http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ , geeky_goowy: [06:12] IE, I want to use SUN's Java, not the openJdk. [06:12] (I've nothing against it, but it doesn't work right) [06:12] R0b0t1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#Choosing%20the%20default%20Java%20to%20use [06:12] FreshUbuntuNoob: sorry, I miscommunicated. There was only one .inf file in drivers/winxp_2k/ [06:12] so that's the one I installed [06:12] R0b0t1: sudo update-alternatives --config java [06:12] Flannel: Thanks! [06:12] the other files were .sys or .cab [06:13] legend2440: Thanks! [06:13] kebomix: now you can use gparted to put it to another fs, all data on sda7 will be lost [06:13] DasEi: but i have installed most of the packages using synaptic! [06:13] Hello!! [06:13] hello [06:13] DasEi: the link u gave me sez i can copy packages installed with apt only.. [06:13] Waka waka waka. [06:14] THERE. Success. [06:14] DasEi : there is no data , it is empty :D , i just have aproblem when i try to install windows on another partition it tell methat Windows is Not Compatible with this partition [06:14] shawn-p, It worked? [06:14] I had to configure it with a static IP address... for some reason DHCP wasn't working [06:14] geeky_goowy:could be a problem, then, hmm no flatrate available ? [06:15] kebomix: the way round fat32 might work [06:15] DasEi, no flatrate.. :( [06:15] after that, I went to the network manager (the icon in the upper right)... went to my device... properties.... "enable roaming mode" [06:15] anyone have any idea why there might be a delay in certain (but not all) mouse events in x server? I'm running two displays, my secondary display has no delay at all but my primary has about a one second delay for certain things like right clicks and window maximizing. [06:15] at that point, it found the Mondair access point [06:15] DasEi : i tried ntfs and fat 32 all failed give me same message [06:15] shawn-p, take a look at man dhclient, for more information on DHCP client. Personally, I hate DHCP. Stupid idea, and stupid implementation [06:15] I told it to connect, it prompted me for the password, then again (for the keychain), and then it connected. [06:15] so yay. [06:15] geeky_goowy: If you have no alternate CD, doing it through package management (just the packages downloading) is cheaper bandwidth wise as using the CD [06:15] heh [06:15] dhcp is nice, no effort networking [06:15] thank you very much for working with me FreshUbuntuNoob. [06:16] Hi. I have an Asus Eee with Ubuntu on it. I want to make my webcam work with Mercury, and I can get it. Any idea? [06:16] kebomix: doesn't the win-installer find the partitons ? xp ? [06:16] It works with other programs (i.e. skype) [06:16] shawn-p, If you are connecting to anything other than WEP, you would either need the new version of Network Manager (compile yourself), or get yourself Wicd, or be an extremely expert with console [06:16] shawn-p, No problem, I did nothing :) [06:16] !webcam | keewee [06:16] keewee: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [06:16] find then but give me that windows is not compatible with all partitions [06:17] hey I am trying to install aura GTK engine and I followed the directions on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-778611.html [06:17] My webcam is supported by Ubuntu, works on aMSN, Skype and Cheese. [06:18] kebomix: (!who) sure, but you can use ONE (like a 10 gig) to install win, add a module for ext3 later to win [06:19] however when I get to the part where it says i need to type in "make". I get the following: " make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop." [06:19] why doesn't it work as the directions imply it should [06:20] jclbrt: have you read the INSTALL in the dir?

[06:27] kebomix, in the past i just do 'unrar e whateverfirstrarfileis.r01 ' [06:27] kebomix, rar should see the other files and access them as needed [06:27] madrazr: more information is needed, "it doesnt work" is vague...what about it doesnt work? does it throw out errors? [06:28] Robb_M: some pointers I got while I googled said to open it in FireFox, but when I do that, it asks me to save that file [06:28] ham: ok...

[06:34] themime - you are doing /etc/init.d/mysql start ? [06:34] eross yes, and as root (or sudo equivalent) [06:34] something might be tied to the database, not allowing it to start [06:34] i just do not how to set up and estended not dual monitos [06:34] monitor [06:34] eross: how do you meaned tied to the db? [06:35] er mean* [06:35] i want link to kismet and war drving programs ?

[06:36] 32bits :) [06:36] lol [06:36] lol [06:36] After_Math, when in doubt use 32bit. [06:36] dr_willis, ok [06:37] I'll soon find out [06:37] after_math: generally, 64 bit is better.. [06:37] its faster no doubt [06:37] after_math: but 32 bit is the most common.. [06:37] themime: what mysql package did you install? [06:37] i love this channel , always find help on it : thx to all [06:37] i can say something about 64bit, it's nice and the incompatibilities are shrinking, i'm using it now, burning a minidv movie, chatting, surfing [06:37] geeky_goowy, but how would I know what to use? [06:38] 8.10 has work on my ATI graphic card with fglrx driver: http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/download/file.php?id=46213&mode=view/1.jpg [06:38] after_math: 64 bit is best suited for graphics designing.. [06:38] geeky_goowy, ah ok [06:38] after_math: 32 bit will more than suffice for home PCs. [06:38] After_Math - it's good to have 4Gb if you go 64bit [06:38] After_Math, Depends on your hardware [06:38] geeky_goowy, ok thanks [06:38] jamesish: not sure, it worked before, i haven't played with my server in a month. heres version line -> mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45, for pc-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2 [06:38] eross, ya i got 2g [06:38] sudo apt-get install mysql-server [06:38] after_math: sure.. [06:39] can i run microsoft access on linux ? [06:39] Hello there, does anyone here tried to work with dual monitors on Ubuntu, but with different video cards? [06:39] jamesish: already newest version [06:39] kebomix: try it on wine.. but it might not work.. [06:39] ps auxw | grep mysql [06:39] there's crossover office, think you have to pay for it [06:39] jamesish: already tried, not running =/ [06:39] ZehRique, In the past that was doable.. but a lot depends ont he cards.. and it can take some effort. [06:40] themime: did you install php? or are you even trying to run php? [06:40] geeky_goowy: yeah , i think so , i dont want to get back to windows , i need it in my study :( [06:41] kebomix, Did you take a look at OpenOffice Database? [06:41] themime: I understand you've tried it, but humour me. sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart [06:41] dr_willis, do you know some good tutorial? [06:41] how about running a vmware or other vm install of windows to run it? [06:41] ZehRique, not tried that in proberly 3 years.. so no. [06:41] hey, has anybody tried epiphany web browser? firefox 3 Beta 5 is so bad on 8.04.. [06:41] themime: what's odd is that upstart should have automatically detected mysql and started it fine. [06:41] ZehRique, check the gentoo wikis :) they often have weird things like that. [06:42] hmmm.. ok dr_willis. Thanks! [06:42] :) [06:42] help ! im getting kern.log files as large as they can possibly be [06:42] themime: you might actually want to try something like mysql -u root, just to check in with that. [06:42] FreshUbuntuNoob: there is only 4 programs on open office , word, excel , powerpoint , picture [06:42] ne 1 know the best book for begining ubuntu [06:42] anyone know where xfce gets the fonts settings from? [06:42] each of them being atkbd.c : use 'setkeycodes e059' to make it known [06:42] like unknown key pressed every like half a second [06:42] dethdol: there's quite a few out there... the Ubuntu for non-geeks is a pretty decent book for beginnersa [06:43] yet im able to type here just fine... [06:43] I'm having issues getting an iPod shuffle working. It won't auto-mount; the warning being logged is that hal is trying to mount /dev/sdb -- if I explicitly tell it to mount -t msdos /dev/sdb /mountpoint, then rhythmbox can see the uPod fine but can't write to it. [06:43] ok so i have an issue, i have a laptop that the cdrom is broke in but i have a usb thumb drive how can i format the laptop and install ubuntu on via the thumb drive? [06:43] kebomix, http://www.openoffice.org/product/base.html [06:43] can it boot from usb?\ [06:43] i think so [06:43] jamesish, alabamahit: it is installed, and was working, i had a working phpbb3 forum but obviously it is saying mysql is down now. /etc/init.d/mysql restart failed as before [06:44] Anyone knows if .net messenger is off-line? [06:44] i just finished reformatting my ubuntu because i tried to install ati drivers then update my kernel. can someone wallk me through the proper way to install these drivers without hosing my system? [06:44] how would i make a live cd type deal with the usb drive [06:44] themime: if it was working, what changed? This is our interest. [06:44] Reaverbot, I am on it right now using Pidgin. Also this is not the right channel to discuss it [06:44] then make a bootable iso into your usb key and then restart your computer with the usb as frist boot device [06:44] FreshUbuntuNoob: wow , how to get it ? [06:44] or find what key will open the boot menu and if you installed ubuntu right then it should go through [06:44] jamesish, the problem is, i can't remember, i remember playing with something, not touching it for a month, and i just not plugged it back in. [06:44] root@mimeserver:/home/themime# mysql -u root [06:44] ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [06:45] ggg [06:45] dethdol, how would i do that im in ubuntu now do you know a tool to do this? [06:45] kebomix, It is available to install under Add/Remove menu, or some packages via Synaptic. I do believe that for full implementation it requires the Java installation (JRE is preferred). And if I remember correctly, I think it is actually hidden from the menus as well [06:45] hi [06:45] sorry no im green at ubuntu youcan always google [06:46] is there nothing in /var/log/mysql? [06:46] um [06:46] is it possible to upgrade from Firefox 3 Beta 5?? [06:46] /var/log/mysql.err [06:46] freshubuntunoob: yes, but I ask, because maybe is a problem in my computer. It says "server is unavailable" [06:46] jamesish: no, nore mysql.log, but, just found this in syslog, i think its having trouble binding with the ip --> Oct 18 01:42:24 mimeserver mysqld[7032]: 081018 1:42:24 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address [06:47] jamesish: i remember thinking about messing with IP stuff but didn't think i actually went through with any of it. also, im shelled in now (its a box sitting in the corner) and i can view my site via the IP in firefox [06:47] Reaverbot, Working normally. Must be some sort of problem with the server responsible for that domain [06:48] themime: that's the most likely cause of the issue; mysql binds on a port through localhost. So, resolve your networking issues and all will be well. What's in /etc/hosts? [06:48] ah, one of the warnings was to check for /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' existing, which it doesn't. not sure why it doesn't. [06:48] because mysql isn't running. [06:48] mysql creates that socket. [06:48] if this is the wrong channel to ask about by driver question please direct me to the correct one [06:49] jamesish: ah ok, checking on /etc/hosts, one moment [06:49] my job is working on web servers, this is so embarrasing >=| [06:50] FreshUbuntuNoob: Yeah, I use .net passport, maybe is that... or maybe is my e-mail direction. [06:50] it's ok themime, they think i'm a systems administrator [06:50] it happens to us all, don't worry. [06:50] :P [06:50] im my defense, im only a level 2 tech, not an admin =P [06:50] I had an interview today for a Ruby on Rails job; code interview. I sat there for ten minutes unable to remember how to generate a scaffold, one of the most basic things you can do. [06:50] adas [06:50] jamesish: http://pastebin.com/m4f77c1e9 [06:51] jamesish: haha, i hate rails, it causes us so many problems (mostly cause no one knows how to fix rails issues server-side) [06:51] You need a rails guy? [06:51] anyone have any idea why there might be a delay in certain (but not all) mouse events in x server? I'm running two displays, my secondary display has no delay at all but my primary has about a one second delay for certain things like right clicks and window maximizing.\ [06:51] First, you don't have an entry in /etc/hosts for resolving your own domain name. [06:51] Second, what's the output of ifconfig? [06:52] !who jamesish [06:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about who jamesish [06:52] jamesish: haha, i know, because i don't have one, its a local server i connect to either via the IP or through dyndns [06:52] !who > jamesish [06:52] jamesish, please see my private message [06:52] You have 127.0.1.1, the ubuntu loopvack, but you don't have anything for the public interface.

[06:53] anyone can help me to create a web? [06:53] i can provide an example if that is too confusing [06:54] why do my vids look pixelated using the codecs ubuntu suggested to install upon opening a vid? [06:54] ark4: I'll bite, what do you mean? Can you expand a little further, because your question as it stands is cofusing. [06:54] is there a way to shut of a cpu without having to edit the menu.lst file and rebooting... ? would be nice if the rebooting could be avoided altogether... any thoughts ? [06:54] ezzieyguywuf: an ugly approach would be to copy the whole directory, then remove all the files [06:54] s/of/off/ [06:54] anybody here uses the sound card alc260? [06:54] ezzieyguywuf: for f in `find -type f`; do rm $f; done or something similar [06:54] enselic: not possible since i don't have enough space locally for that [06:54] #Zero-Raws@irc.MoeOtaku.com [06:54] CaptainMorgan: what do you mean? To shut down, you have to shut down; you shouldn't need to shut down to edit menu.lst, though. [06:54] enselic: i dunno if that would work.... [06:55] ezzieyguywuf, Enselic: haha, i have a more ugly approach, "find /the/dir -type d cp {} other/dir/ \;" <--- don't try that, its not tested and im sure im missing something [06:55] jamesish, I think you might've misunderstood me? or maybe I you - where did I mention shutting down? [06:55] can anyone recommend what i can delete to free up space in ubuntu. im at 14% free disk space [06:55] er, nevermind, Enselic already had a similar approach [06:55] any more suggestions? [06:55] captainMorgan: "is there a way to shut off a cpu " [06:56] yes. [06:56] jamesish: sudo shutdown now [06:56] captainMorgan: I'm quite willing to take the blame ;) [06:56] restart: sudo shutdown -r now [06:56] FAJ: CaptainMorgan's asking the question; he doesn't seem to want to shut down, but that made me think he does. [06:56] is there a gui to change default applications in ubuntu? i know kde (kubuntu) has one... [06:56] ezzieyguywuf: try something like cd $TARGET_PATH; for d in `find $SOURCE_PATH -type d`; do mkdir -p $d; done [06:57] devslashnull: u can delete ur mp3's and videos. :) [06:57] jamesish: o lol just jumping in when i can ;) [06:57] enselic: thats a bash command?

[07:10] themime: sudo lsof -P | grep :3306 [07:10] XD [07:10] erpo, that's cool. thanks [07:10] jamesish: nothing returned. *mans lsof* [07:10] question about ubuntu: I made an apt-get upgrade and now I experience that there is a random shivering scrolling. a "page" (e.g. webpage in firefox or a terminal window) does not stay steady but scrolls a little bit up, then a little bit down, up again, down again.. and so on... do you have any suggestions on where to start investigate this behaviour? [07:10] themime: sudo netstat -tadln look for something on :3306 [07:11] Can someone tell me where to find a bash teaching guide for absolute beginners? [07:11]  are there any processes or plugins i can restart that will fix my audio players not playing? [07:11] jamesish: nothing [07:11] thou jest! [07:12] nay [07:12] illumini-visser: What do you get with System->Preferences->Screen Resolution? [07:12] is this line valid: Option "XkbOptions" "esc:nocaps" [07:13] themime: ls /var/run/mysql/mysqld | grep sock [07:13] anyone know what this crap means? [07:13] Debug: [10/18/2008 2:06:03 AM] (DAP has not been added) - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_457e269b_f9cc_40b2_ac2f_175a26e46c0c [07:13] Debug: [10/18/2008 2:06:03 AM] (Testing device for DAP support) - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_61c0a040_b767_4e4b_ae60_1183da4f7de0 [07:13] oops [07:13] themime: just ls /var/run/mysqld | grep sock [07:13] jamesish: you said that it being blank wasn't an issue (which it still is) [07:13] erpo, just the basics. 480x640, 600x800... there's no monitor attached. I need to be able to define or force the resolution [07:14] are there any processes or plugins i can restart that will fix my audio players not playing? [07:14] themime: okay, we got the big guns now. [07:14] themime: what, specifically, were you goofing with on networking? [07:14] omg ubuntu is teh fail [07:15] themime: because it sounds very much like something was changed, mysql restarted, and mysql is still attempting to bind to the old settings. [07:15] hello can you tell me how i can renew the configuration of deluge torrent.. cause i can not start deluge the config is corrupt i think need to reload it thanks [07:15] what is the command to restart a process [07:15] illumini-visser: You might have luck writing an xorg.conf file to do it. [07:15] zigzags: what process? [07:16] erpo, I'll go back to windows if I have to do that! lol [07:16] im not sure...my audio players have all stopped working, and im hoping there is something i can restart to make it work === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire [07:16] zigzags: by which I mean, is it a daemon or something you started? Generally there's a kill signal for restarting most processes, but daemons have init scripts. [07:16] I'm looking at that option now, I'd like to have displayconfig-gtk installed, but it's deprecated in 8.1 [07:16] i usually have to log out then back in to get any audi players workign again [07:17] jamesish: im confused, i thought you said that it being blank wasn't an issue before. to answer your question, i was about to try doing something with a static IP since my router is still set to dhcp and i was thinking about changing it [07:17] zigzags: No sound from audio that used to work means something is probably muted :P Did you check the output of alsamzer? [07:17] themime: it's cool, I'm just double checking myself. I think you should verify your network settings and consider the deadly reboot. [07:17] um [07:18] zigzags: alsamixer, sorry [07:18] ATM it is banshee, rhythmbox, and VLC, when doubleclicking files in their playlists the 'pause' button 'changes to playing, but the slider or w/e its called never starts moving [07:18] jamesish: well, i just started it back up. first thing i did was try to start mysql =/ [07:18] audio works thru opera, on pandora.com [07:18] jamesish: ill poke around though [07:18] I encounter a weird random scrolling in any applications, any ideas how I can start to investigate this issue? [07:18] the players never play the music, they just sit at 00:00 time [07:19] how do i check the output of alsamixer [07:19] zigzags: this isn't gonna be alsa, so it makes no odds. You've verified that the files you're trying to play are okay otherwise? [07:20] ya they haveall worked before [07:20] what port does samba use? [07:20] oin #ubuntu [07:20] and how do you find out your local IP adress? [07:21] all of the files are fine and I i just tested with ones I know have always orked [07:21] zigzags: It's great that they've all worked before, but have you verified them since these issues started? [07:21] How do i do this?: The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect.. [07:21] no how would i do that [07:21] its def some other problem [07:21] zigzags: What kind of files are they? [07:21] mp3 [07:22] jamesish: heh, i took the easy way out are restared first, no go. poking around networking now [07:22] hallo [07:22] zigzags: did they work okay in ubuntu or in a different OS? [07:22] 'file ' returned: setgid Audio file with ID3 version 23.0 tag, MP3 encoding [07:22] ubuntu [07:23] zigzags: you have a copy of mplayer? [07:23] ya [07:23] try out the command line mplayer tool. [07:23] mplayer foo.mp3 [07:23] zigzags: since when the do not work anymore? [07:24] it pauses at: Starting playback... [07:24] A: 0.0 (00.0) of 264.0 (04:24.0) ??,?% [07:24] 10 minutes ago [07:24] lemme rephrase that. it doent PAUSE there, it just HANGS there === bradon is now known as rattboi [07:25] hmmm is this normal??: 'Forced audio codec: mad' [07:25] themime: You might want to try out something like sudo mysqld --bind-address=127.0.0.1, to verify it's binding to localhost. [07:26] zigzags: it's normal. [07:26] restart alsa? [07:26] how do i do that === johnson is now known as Guest26217 [07:27] jjjj5555: I don't think it's alsa; sound works fine otherwise. Could be a corruption in the shared mp3 libraries. [07:27] zigzags: might want to tail your logs and see if there's any interesting output. [07:27] sometimes I have flash blocking my audio players [07:27] or it seems like it is blocking [07:28] omg itjust started workingin vlc [07:28] Good call. [07:28] but its skipping like a crack addict [07:29] imm dtyuuuunnk [07:29] ha nvm it wasjust 3 audio players suddenly playing at once [07:29] alsa-utils in init.d [07:30] zigzags: does it work now? [07:30] jamesish: hmm, mysqld --bind-address=127.0.0.1 seemed to work [07:30] yea i closed opera and it worked, but nothing in opera was playing any audio [07:31] what's the channel for ubuntu beta? [07:31] Hah! [07:31] I'm having a lot of trouble trying to access my Windows share from Ubuntu. I mounted it with the following command: "sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.2.3/prog /mnt/shawn". It prompted me for a password, and I left it blank. I then did "cd /mnt/shawn" followed by "ls", and I got back "ls: reading directory .: Permission denied" [07:31] does anyone know how to fix that? :/ [07:31] themime: cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf | grep bind would you? [07:31] i had pandora running at one point, but only after the audio had already stopped working [07:31] police [07:32] hi [07:32] shawn-p, could be its owned by root, not your user . Personally now a days i tend to use the 'fusesmb' tool to let users mount the windows shares [07:32] whats the xlcient script that gdm says is my default session? [07:32] jamesish: wow, i fail. when i restarted my machine, it got a new IP, which i changed the proper forwards in my router... didn't think to look into hard coded conf files that might have had it... [07:32] .Xclient perhaps vingian if it exists [07:32] hi any hot girls from india [07:33] any body have tutorials about hacking wireless networks with ubuntu? [07:33] dr_willis: lemme try that [07:33] themime: the correct way for mysql to be set up is with 127.0.0.1 i my.cnf. Whoever changed that needs a punch. [07:33] vingian, its either .Xclient or .Xsession [07:33] themime: your mission is to find hte relevant person and punch in the gut. [07:33] Hello. I tried to install nubuntu, but I've failed. I wrote "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=/dev/hda1 ro" in to menu.lst but it turns out I should have used "sda1". Now I've got an error during boot saying "ALERT! /dev/hda1 does not exist. Dropping to shell!". Now I am at a prompt that says "(initramfs)" [07:33] Foobillard is glitching and the frames are messed up [07:33] Can I fix this? [07:34] jamesish: this is my personal server, not work related, so it was me. i think i had the crack pipe lit while i was trying to do something with remote db connections [07:34] themime: you must punch yourself. In the gut. It's not like it's optional. [07:34] dr_willis: the reason i wonder is because that script is doing something [07:34] to setup my desktop fonts [07:34] dr_willis: i don't know if its starting a settings daemon or what [07:35] SuperMario: yes, you can. Simplest way, though, is to use the liveCD. [07:35] oh, apparently there are two separate sections, one for localhost bind and one for local lan bind. doh! [07:35] but if i just go into xfce - my fonts are all wonky [07:35] vingian, i just use it to launch a custom desktop. [07:35] vingian, could be the gnome-settings deamon. [07:35] if i let xclient load gnome and then log out and log back into xfce [07:35] everything is great [07:35] Ruby at my ubuntu with easiest way? [07:35] !ruby [07:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about ruby [07:35] How to get ruby [07:35] Aaqil: sudo apt-get install ruby [07:35] dr_willis: well - i tried launching gnome-settings-daemon myself, but it just kinda sits there [07:35] ok, for the live cd, should I choose to boot without making changes, or to install? [07:36] do you want to install? [07:36] SuperMario1776, install would start the isntaller an want to reformat/reinstall the system [07:36] jamesish: how to start ruby? [07:36] ruby [07:37] not in my experience, the installer doesn't do much of jack [07:37] Aaqil: ruby's like an interpreter, a shell, you don't start it. You just learn the language then write code. [07:37] but I'll use "don't make changes" option [07:37] jamesish: :( but there it was easy in windows [07:37] Theres dozens of ruby tutorial sites out. :) [07:37] ruby on rails? [07:38] jamesish: ok when i write code where to compile etc? [07:38] ruby fun --> http://hacketyhack.net/ [07:38] jamesish: confirmed with /etc/init.d/mysql start, works fine now. time to go back to my "10 minute install" of tikiwiki s/10/80 [07:38] Aaqil: ruby's interepreted, not compiled. You can run the ruby script anywhere you are able to set execute privileges on files. [07:38] themime: awesome! [07:39] http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/article/1816/top-ruby-on-rails-tutorials [07:39] ok thanks [07:39] dr_willis :D [07:39] jamesish: im out, thanks a lot [07:39] Ruby on Rails - is not quite the same as 'ruby' :) but i guess they overlap [07:39] actually i am new at rubylearning.org [07:40] http://rubylearning.com/ [07:40] :) i just googled and got that one also. [07:40] :) [07:40] Okay, I see where the misunderstanding was. Ruby on Rails is simple.aaqil. Install ruby, then install the rubygems package. From there you can do rails with sudo gem install rails [07:41] hello, is it normal that i can't send file from Nokia to ubuntu (file in nokia - send as - bluetooh), but i can get them paired ( I can browse nokia directory in ubuntu), but from ubuntu, there's no problem to send file to Nokia (file in ubuntu - send as- bluetooth) ,,, anyone please ?

[07:50] Why is it even after I've installed a new font package (in this case, jmk-xfonts ) I don't see them in the typical font-selector dialogs? [07:50] using the instructions here to mount http://forums.nubuntu.org/showthread.php?tid=167 [07:50] (xfonts-jmk sorry) [07:50] enemebandit: wait for it to be pushed out to the package management tools.

[07:54] can anyone tell me what should i do to get sound in firefox while watching videos on youtube?? i mean the sound is not working there. === brett is now known as Guest48568 [07:54] can anyone tell me how to find out my IP address using Ubuntu please? [07:54] enemabandit: you can do itby hand, but it's not for the faint of heart. [07:54] enemabandit: it looks like they are saying they fixed it in Intrepid Ibex, ou could either wait 12 days for the official release or use the beta [07:55] anyone know how to autostart ssh in ubuntu? like when the computer boots up, and is at the login screen. is it possible to make ssh autostart before the login?? so i can remote access the computer. [07:55] bin, dev, initrd, lost+found, opt, sbin, tmp, var, boot, etc, initrd.img, media, proc, srv, tools, vmlinuz, cdrom, home, lib, mnt, root, sys, usr, yersinia.log [07:55] enemabandit: i am using intrepid now it's quite stable already === sudhir is now known as sudhir492 [07:56] jamesish: I'll take your word for it, Linux is not exactly my string suit yet [07:56] BriteLeaf: use ifconfig [07:56] thanks [07:56] BobCFC: how does one make this Intrepid go? [07:57] BobCFC: Is it just a package I can install? [07:57] enemabandit: you could either upgrade you whole system or install a new partition from a cd that you download [07:58] if a new version of transmission is available, how do I upgrade it from its current vs to the new vs? sudo apt-get install transmission isnt doin any upgrades, its still at the same version, even though it downloaded some stuff (that didnt have version numbers......grrr) [07:58] enemabandit: it is like upgrading a package except it upgrades EVERYTHING and takes a couple of hours if you pc is slow.. [07:58] enemabandit: you would probably do it anyway on Oct30th when it launces officially [07:58] kinda like installing a windows service pack, except that it actually makes things better not worse ;) [07:59] zigzags, sudo apt-get upgrade transmission [07:59] enemabandit: a new Ubuntu is released every 6months, someppl upgrade, some start afresh [07:59] BobCFC: It just occurred to me, Intrepid is just the 8.10 release isn't it? [07:59] yes [07:59] i am runni g it now [07:59] ahh... that makes more sense now, it failed to make that connection earlier [07:59] any realyl must-have features? I plan to keep running hardy for a while I think... [08:00] *I failed [08:00] nautilus is much better [08:00] hmmm [08:00] not only tabs but handles large fodler quickly, even with big files like 720p movies [08:01] might upgrade one machine. my wife is sick of six-monthly updates so I promised I'd leave hardy on her machine for the next three years [08:01] heh [08:01] is that bad? [08:01] to leave it like that? [08:01] zcat[1]: enable backports :P [08:02] well, I appreciate the help, I'll take matters into my own hands from here (which may be a terrible idea) [08:02] hmm, yeah.. I'll probably enable backports but leave the hardy packages as 'preferred' [08:02] zcat[1]: you can always install openoffice 3.0 etc on its own.. that didnt' make in intime for intreped anway.. i installed it from a PPA [08:03] the new gimp is better too [08:03] http://request-ebooks.blogspot.com/ [08:03] Ummmm.. anyone got a good good repo for secondlife? I had it installed but it keeps telling me I have to upgrade so I removed the package and isntaleld by hand, but it's a pain setting up all the permissions and links to make it work properly [08:04] how do i do a fsck. i have ubuntu installed on a ntfs partition using that new feature in 8.10 [08:04] BobCFC: already got 3.0, the day before official release ;) [08:04] zcat[1], medibuntu perhaps? [08:04] whats hacketyhack for? [08:04] :) [08:04] Uplink, a ruby tutorial/sandbox/toy [08:04] I think the 2ndlife package I had was medibuntu. Tried to update and it said it was already the latest .. the grid didn't agree with that though [08:05] dr_willis: is it good? [08:05] Uplink, go get it and see what you think. it is just a simple ruby training utility. it lets you build some neat little toys [08:05] dr_willis: link wont work :( [08:06] Hello. I tried to install nubuntu, but I've failed. I wrote "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=/dev/hda1 ro" in to menu.lst but it turns out I should have used "sda1". Now I've got an error during boot saying "ALERT! /dev/hda1 does not exist. Dropping to shell!" and I end up at a prompt that says "(initramfs)". [08:06] Now I have booted using the live cd and have mounted sda1. The command /mnt/nubuntu returns "bin, dev, initrd, lost+found, opt, sbin, tmp, var, boot, etc, initrd.img, media, proc, srv, tools, vmlinuz, cdrom, home, lib, mnt, root, sys, usr, yersinia.log". Does anyone have any advice as to how I can fix the install without redoing it, for the 25th time. [08:06] ah well, not sure the kids should be playing second life anyhow, they keep going into adult areas... [08:06] Uplink, its working here http://hacketyhack.net/ [08:06] zcat[1], err.. theres non adult areas? [08:07] hehe, yeah.. not really [08:07] hey all, I'm looking to set up a file server running Ubuntu Server, can I expect good reliability our of software RAID 5? how easy is it to set up? [08:07] zcat[1], check out 'build-a-bearville' some time. :) mmorpg for the kids [08:08] they're teens, so can't be too childish... [08:08] zcat[1], the wife and 21 yr old daughter like the build-a-bearsville :) its just a lot of mini-games and they can chat with eachother [08:09] dr_willis/zcat[1] - care to take this private ?? It's a little offtopic here ;) [08:09] yeah, looks ok. they're really into gaia at the moment.. [08:09] yah, ok..;0 [08:10] SuperMario1776: just hit e to edit the line when your grub screen comes up, edit the line, and then change your menu.lst when you've logged in [08:10] hello guys! i have installed fglx for my Ati Radeon hd and composite disabled, if i want to play a movie (vlc, ...) ubuntu freezes what can i do? [08:11] Intrepid Ibex, here I come! [08:11] edgear: try a different video plugin/method ? [08:12] its on different players the same @ zcat[1] [08:12] settings / preferences / Output modules, tick advanced and change from the default to something else and see if that works [08:12] I am scared of the Intrepis Ibex. [08:12] For no good reason [08:12] edgear, did video work before fglrx was installed? [08:12] drowner: me too.... [08:13] i dont know, first time i want to look something [08:13] hi anyone have full tutorial in setting wireless travelmate c110 ( ipw2100 ) i kind of mess up [08:13] well actually no, I'm scared of what my wife will do if I upgrade her desktop again ;) [08:13] Ha! [08:13] zcat[1]: Stick with the Heron [08:14] hey guys i wana do networking of ubuntu with vista can anyone tell me what should i do???? [08:14] Might play with II on the lappy [08:14] but but.. the wallpaper is amazing [08:14] indian_munnda_, #1 realize that theres more to 'networking' then just seeing 'shares' - :) the 'network neighborhood' stuff in windows is controlled by 'samba' under linux. [08:14] use samba [08:14] !samba | indian_munnda_ [08:14] indian_munnda_: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [08:15] indian_munnda_, you want to access windows shares? or set up the linux box as a fileserver? [08:15] should i disable aiglx too? [08:15] indian_munnda_: basically plug them both in the same network and the whole 'right click and share' thing should work for you just like windows to windows... [08:15] has someone succeed in setting ipw2100 ? [08:16] don't actualyl have vista here, but I've got shares between this machine and a windows image in virtualbox ;) [08:16] dr_willis: i wanna share the network as well as i wanna run internet on both. [08:16] and it was really really easy to set up. [08:16] samba works even from virtualpc [08:16] indian_munnda_, those are totally different tasks. :) [08:17] zcat[1]: i have connected both laptop and ubuntu comp with a cross cable [08:17] mez: YES! it booted, thank you. But I still can't find target. The info I entered into menu.lst is showing up in the grub loader, so it [08:17] indian_munnda_, samba handles the shares. and as for internet-conection shareing.. well its doable.. i forget how. [08:17] it's somewhere.... what the hell [08:17] !bridge [08:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about bridge [08:17] !canasta [08:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about canasta [08:17] indian_munnda_: ahhh.. install firestarter, and connection sharing is pretty much identical to how you'd do it in windows. tick the 'share my connection' box.. [08:17] Not inviting you round for a card night then. Sheesh [08:17] indian_munnda_, you may want to set up a dhcp server on one machine also. [08:18] dr_willis: if i want to access windows vista files from ubuntu machinewhat should i do? [08:18] dr_willis: firestarter does that for you too ;) [08:18] indian_munnda_, the linux box/gnome file manager can browse windows shares easially enough. [08:19] indian_munnda_: right-click and share the folder on vista, "places > network" on Ubuntu.. [08:19] gnome menus -> places -> network [08:19] how would just search for the file menu.lst? [08:19] SuperMario1776, locate menu.lst is one way - its in /boot/grub by the way [08:19] indian_munnda_: dr_willis to share a connection you need to bridge the network, this creates an extra interface like eth0 eth1 and pipes the internet betweenthem transparently [08:19] :) [08:19] SuperMario1776: /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:19] google bridge network turorial ubuntu [08:19] SuperMario1776: and yeah, locate or find / -name menu.lst will find it [08:20] BobCFC, last i did that was ages ago.. and i followd the ip-masquerading howto. :) === Oric_ is now known as Oric [08:20] --> indian_munnda : i suggest you using the free vmware server its better than virtual pc ... [08:21] dr_willis: The hard way... it's just a checkbox in firestarter now, 'share this connection' and it sets up the second interface, masq, dhcp... [08:21] edgear, and you installed the codecs correct? [08:21] zcat[1], i go the real easy way now.. i got a router. :) [08:21] zcat[1]: that is good to know [08:22] vlc does not need codecs i think @ Sirrush [08:22] I got a router too, but I make the rest of the network go through a transparent squid proxy.. had dans guardian on there for a while too. [08:22] i see few seconds of video and than freeze [08:22] its a broken mpg [08:22] but under windows with vlc playable [08:22] noob question time: how can I set up an extremely basic fileserver, so machines on the LAN can download like so: http://my.ip/document.txt? Thanks [08:22] howdy folks [08:22] Peddy: apache [08:23] Is there a way to be logged in as a user, then use the terminal and login as another user at the same time? [08:23] does anyone happened to know how I can change the size of the icons on the desktop? [08:23] I'd like them all smaller [08:23] Peddy: right-click on the folder and choose Sharing Option from the menu [08:23] Peddy: apt-get install apache, then drop the files to be shared in /var/www [08:23] BriteLeaf, su [08:23] thanks [08:23] zcat[1]: ok, thanks. I was looking into that before. BobCFC, I'll have a look, but I want tcp/ip not Samba or nfs or w/e. [08:23] i have Option "VideoOverlay" "on"and Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" how descibed in the wiki by video-problems [08:24] hello edgar [08:24] anyone know how to autostart ssh in ubuntu? like when the computer boots up, and is at the login screen. is it possible to make ssh autostart before the login?? so i can remote access the computer. [08:24] Peddy: you mean http, not smb, etc... [08:24] they're all tcp/ip [08:24] Peddy: ok that was samba, apache is overkill for files... [08:24] drhe|lap:sudo apt-get install ssh did it for me. [08:25] the man wants http, it's easy enough to set up.. what's the problem? [08:25] Oops, yes I do :/ [08:25] Awesome, thanks for everyones help. Three days of hell is finally over. [08:26] Peddy: for really easy sharing sudo chmod a+rw /var/www (as long as you don't have any 'hostile users' on your machine) and then just make a shortcut to it [08:26] drhe|lap, ssh starts as a service by default - if its isntalled [08:26] could anyone explain what decopserver is please [08:26] zcat[1]: ok, I can get the files by using http://localhost, but I can't access via my local IP. How do I expose it? Thanks :D [08:26] zcat[1]: nevermind, I had to wait a few seconds. [08:26] zcat[1]: thanks for your help, I'ma get dinner. Bye. [08:27] really noob question, what do you add to a command to pause output one page at a time? [08:27] drhe|lap→ just install the "ssh" package and you are good to go [08:27] SuperMario1776: | less [08:27] SuperMario1776→ use the "more" or the "less" command. they are the same. [08:27] 'less is more' [08:28] SuperMario1776→ example: ls | more [08:28] SuperMario1776→ another example: dmesg | less [08:28] Another noob question: Is there a texteditor with highlighted text for PHP, HTML, CSS etc.? Ofc I want a webserver too that includes everything like WAMP for Windows. [08:28] they're the same, more or less ;) [08:28] GarfIIeld→ the standard text editor in ubuntu does that [08:28] hmmm what type of video are you trying to play [08:29] i'm trying to unpack a tar file from desktop and trying to go to location in terminal [08:29] magnetron, Ok, have to test it.

[08:31] indian_munnda_, sounds liek a firewall in the way. [08:31] magnetron: sorry but i haven't seen any [08:32] are there any ubuntuforums.org admins in here? [08:32] indian_munnda_: I think vista has one built in. don't ask me how you configure the damn thing though [08:32] indian_munnda_→ there's an integrated firewall in vista unless you disable it. vista doesn't respond to pings by default [08:32] magnetron: ok let me see [08:33] hehe magnetron how do you draw the arrow? [08:33] indian_munnda_→ for help with vista go to ##windows [08:33] BobCFC→ AltGr + i [08:33] cheers [08:33] →↓← [08:33] If vista can send a ping and get a reply back I'd say things are mostly working at the hardware level [08:33] ←↓→ [08:33] excellent [08:33] BobCFC: Thx, I found it now :-D === Oric_ is now known as Oric [08:34] I'm running ubuntu 8.04, any ideas why avant doesnt work? seems to load for a sec then close out? could it be because this is a vbox guest?

Does any one know how to install gdesklets on ubuntu 64bit? [08:44] goto slide show -> custom animation [08:44] yes its the same as power point [08:45] unless you use ms power point 2007 before its different than [08:45] Yep, I just found all the effects under tasks, for slide transtition and custom animation. Look there. [08:46] I think you might need to include an animiated gif or something for bullets though. [08:46] ?? [08:46] anyone here running ubuntu beta on mac os x? [08:46] I think animations in a presentation are a huge annoyance [08:47] I think presentations are an annoyance. But I've had a bad week.

I've also used sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1492 [08:50] DHCP [08:50] The network-manager always says it's automatic after reboot. Yes, I'm using DHCP. [08:50] Nyquist333→ the MTU is adjusted automatically in Linux. if it's ever too large it will decrease automatically. [08:51] Any Idea about connecting to Exchange 2007? [08:51] how come when i type cd /home/user/desktop it says invaild location [08:51] close DHCP [08:51] Does not in intrepid beta.

I put the layout in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols but after restarting I don't seem to be able to see it anywhere. Should I edit manually the base.xml file in /etc/X11/xkb? [10:15] Heya, im on my mums PC, she forgot her password, and the computer had crashed (win xp home ed), i tried loggin in with recovery console to repair it, but yeah the password problem, tried number of times but still cant remember pword, i read its possible to use JTR to crack the pword, im not sure what file i should be cracking tho, help!, Using Ubuntu Hardy live cd atm [10:16] is there such a tool called "bkhive-linux" avail for ubuntu? [10:16] I changed my fstab file (I also made the proper dirs) should I restart my mashine? [10:17] quibbler: I've enter the administration panel [10:17] System->administration->users and groups [10:17] NicEXE: i think you can do sudo mount -a but I don't remember if it will unmount the old ones [10:17] i have problem install wireless Encore ENPWI-G2 [10:17] I wanted to delete my test account but ive deleted my actual account [10:18] pls help :( [10:18] Decepticon: go to System-Administration-Users and Groups unlock manage groups check the properties of the group you want.

[10:18] karab44_: are your files still there? [10:19] np [10:19] Yes, i am on this account I believe when I logout I will loose everything [10:19] karab44_: well you can always backup your home dir first... then try to recreate the account... [10:20] its about 20GB [10:20] iam getting a message DISK BOOT FAILURE in my webserver [10:20] karab44_: maybe if you create a test acount, delete that then see if ITS files get deleted? [10:20] karab44_: try and restore the test account see if it works without messiung the files [10:21] but I have to logout then... thats too risky [10:21] how can I make a shortcut to a dir or file? (I am on Ubuntu) [10:21] karab44_: ok i will try.... [10:21] Hi all, anyone experienced with xorg.conf and ATI have a minute or two?

[10:22] I want to create an editable link [10:22] (on my desktop) [10:22] is there openoffice 3 in any repos out there for ubuntu? [10:23] quibbler: first thing what I did was adding myself again but... I am affraid that after logout it will execute anyway [10:23] <[amadeus]> NicEXE: So click right and choose the second item === RandomCake__ is now known as RandomCake [10:24] Ive removed naturalborn admin account, that was created from the installation menu [10:24] 有没有中国朋友在 [10:24] I can not reconstruct it [10:26] karab44_: when i created a test account and deleted it, it said "This will disable a users account WITHOUT deleting the users home directory" [10:26] so my data will be safe? [10:26] Yes, tried it here too. The (Hardy) Users & Groups applet claims that "This will disable this user's access to the system without deleting the user's home directory." when you delete an account. [10:27] karab44_: hang on still testing... i think so [10:27] my hardy64 didnt tell me that [10:27] karab44_: i am using ibex so maybe the message is new but it should work same way [10:28] If you are worried bout the data.. openup a terminal and look..if its still there.. BACK IT UP. :) [10:28] karab44_: I believe BobCFC is right. [10:28] at first I had 2 acc /root and /karab. I created new one /k44 and deleted /karab for mistaken. karab had all privilages becouse was created from installation menu [10:28] but i am still on /karab [10:29] help, i cannpt enable my wireless network adapter in ubuntu 8.10 [10:29] upgrade successful :) [10:29] karab44_: when you try to recreate the account it says Home folder already exists.. if you rename it it lets youu remake it using old name... then you can copy files back [10:29] BobCFC: ill make an simulation [10:29] thanks guys [10:30] karab44_: eg. i made account /home/test deleted it moved to /home/test2 add test account back again the mv the /home/test2 back again [10:30] sudo lshw -C network shows everthing to be disabled or unclaimed, but i dont know how to enable it. hardware switch is on. [10:31] is there any tutorial on how to setup triple boot (windows + ubuntu + ubuntustudio)? [10:31] i installed wubi, howver it doesnt see my windows partition. it does however see another ntfs partition. any ideas how to get it to see my windows partition? [10:31] kane77, why do you need to tripple boot that> whats so special about ubuntu studio? Basicially you manually make a grub entry to boot the other disrtos [10:31] kane77: ubuntu studio is ubuntu with some added studio apps. just install those apps. makes no sense to have two OS's for it [10:32] hi all. any chance anyone has a rough idea on when 8.10 will be available? wanting to switch from windows but waiting for the latest release first [10:32] BobCFC: now i did see info about untouching data files when del === johnson is now known as Guest43243 [10:32] OK I'll try [10:32] FriedPiggy: Otiber 30th [10:32] thx [10:32] October lol [10:32] nireh: Two OS's? You have then just Two software systems [10:32] wicked, thanks BobCFC [10:32] OK I'll try [10:32] whoops [10:32] sorry, wrong person [10:32] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Did you tried ifconfig ..?! [10:32] nireh, dr_willis I thought it was more than that (eg using different kernel etc.) if it is just ubuntu + apps then there is no need to install it [10:33] [amadeus]: yes i think my interface is called "lo"so i did sudo ifconfig lo up [10:33] BadElvis: lo is for loopback and it is a dummy device [10:34] I am back, everything works just fine [10:34] and how do i find the correct device? [10:34] problem is solved :)) [10:34] maybe wlan0? [10:34] BadElvis: if wifi it will be something like wlan0 for wired eth0 [10:35] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: iwconfig shows you the correct wireless network (it has a wireless extention) [10:35] karab44: nice1 mate, you wouldn't notice that message unless you are looking for it, human instint to click ok [10:35] yes there i have a wlan0 [10:35] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: So try it :-) === olabasher is now known as kopertina [10:35] kane77, no idea. I noticed they had 8.10 releases of kiubuntu, ubuntu, ubuntu studio (i think) so im thinking its just packages. [10:36] anybody else having recently problems with apparmor and cups? [10:36] BobCFC: yes, too much playing warsow :) [10:36] but iwconfig wlan0 up gives an error [10:36] What should I apt-get to download java for firefox? ;) [10:36] mopped, apt-get to download everything you can (: [10:36] mopped: install ubuntu-restricted-extras [10:36] SIOCSIFFLAGS no such file or dirctory [10:36] mopped: that will give u both java and flash [10:37] mopped, oh. :-D got the question wrong [10:37] ;D [10:37] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: So your driver does'nt work correcly ... what's about dmesg? [10:37] mopped: so command would be: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [10:37] thanks === ubuntu is now known as LetoThe2nd [10:38] i have moved my top panel to the right, now I can't find any "blank area" on the panel for me to get the properties window, any solution?? [10:39] [amadeus]: gives a long list. by the way, the wired network doesnt work either [10:39] im on another computer atm [10:39] <[amadeus]> ykphuah: You can reset it with gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel :-) [10:39] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Oh, so it will be a longer discussion :) [10:40] [amadeus]: i used to work right, but the in once turned off the hardware switch and now it seems as if it didnt realize that i turned it on again [10:40] *it [10:40] [amadeus]: thanks! :) [10:40] this is so sweet. on Intrepid it detected my prineter/scanner automatically and works out of the box :) Now I don't have to restart to windows to scan files any more. [10:40] [amadeus]: clicking on any of the applets should have a "panel menu" like that in KDE. [10:41] i installed wubi, howver it doesnt see my windows partition. it does however see another ntfs partition. any ideas how to get it to see my windows partition? [10:41] [amadeus]: can i tell ubuntt to reconfigure it automatically like it did when i installed ubuntu recently? [10:41] <[amadeus]> ykphuah: Yes ... there's no kind of control with applets are on, too :-/ === huayra_ is now known as huayra [10:41] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Yes and no .... [10:41] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: You can reset the PCI-tables ... [10:41] jin: great! we are getting there step by step [10:42] [amadeus]: i dont mind if the information for any stored wireless connections is lost. [10:42] jin: i hear graphics tablets are better too [10:42] do U know some really good game only for linux? I mean sth serious game with beatufiull graphic or very playable [10:42] good morning [10:42] ? [10:42] I'm using awn and I like it but I'm not ready to get rid of the panel that comes with Ubuntu yet. is there a way to hide the panel at the bottom of the screen but not delete it? [10:42] farciarz84: no [10:42] farciarz84: try Nexuiz [10:43] alanbshepard77, move it to the top [10:43] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Ok, can you tell me the output of lspci -nn | grep -i network [10:43] alanbshepard77: you can set it to auto hide... rightclick and choose properties [10:43] farciarz84: Cube, Nexuiz (for Windows too), TA Spring [10:44] farciarz84: but those are on Windows too... :-) [10:44] some RPG? like WOW Baldurs [10:44] Heros [10:44] farciarz84: Check Linuxgames [10:44] dr_willis: Thanks but I don't want it there either, it makes the top of the screen to bulky. [10:45] alanbshepard77, drag whatever parts ya like to the top and just delete it is another way [10:45] ok [10:45] [amadeus]: 03:00.0 Network Controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection [8086:4227] (rev 02) [10:45] BobCFC: Thanks but I tried that, it's "hidden" but still half visible. [10:45] farciarz84: I play NeverWinter nights (1/2) on Linux. [10:45] dr_willis: Ah cool, thanks [10:46] alanbshepard77: yes i think most ppl delete the bottom panel after moving anything they want to keep on the top panel. thats why i gave up awn and went back.. [10:46] Am looking for the tool that can create a deb package when running "sudo make install". What is the name? [10:46] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: So open (as root) the file /lib/modules/{your kernel}/modules.pcimap and search for "4227" and delete the _whole_ lines [10:46] Blinkiz, checkinstall -- perhaps? [10:46] dr_willis, Nice, checkinstall was the name! Thanks :D [10:46] alanbshepard77: the other option is move the dock up so it doesn't cover the bottom pannel, depends how big ur monitor is :) [10:47] wine is working great :D, game installed and is currently updating with patches [10:47] <[amadeus]> Aliena *piex* [10:47] BobCFC: Thanks for the suggestion, I think I'll move the trash and desk switcher up top and just delete it. [10:47] it actually downlaoded/installed faster thn on my windows computer :D [10:47] dr_willis, BobCFC: Thanks. [10:47] I must try this wine [10:47] Kolma: if you have trouble the wine website usually has a page for each game, appdb.winehq.org sometimes they have special version and tips etc [10:48] its one of those free online mmo's [10:48] asda story [10:48] I have a bit of a problem on my PC and I'm not sure whether the cause is WinXP or Ubuntu. I have a ~150GB HDD on my PC. When I got it fresh, I created two primary partitions, C: (20GB), and D: (100GB), leaving the rest for Ubuntu. [10:48] [amadeus]: ok, now restart? [10:48] Kolma: lol, asda is a supermarket in the UK [10:49] i know xD [10:49] every1 i mention game to says taht [10:49] that* [10:49] I installed Ubuntu into the empty space and for a while it was cool, but for unrelated reasons, I decided to delete Ubuntu and use the leftover space for another NTFS partitions for WinXP. So I deleted Ubuntu, did FIXMBR from WinXP's installations CD, to skip Ubuntu's boot loader, and I was back in WinXP. [10:50] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Yes, or is there a modules.alias also? [10:50] Then, I used the Computer Management from Control Panel->Administrative Tools, to format the previously Ubuntu space into a third primary partition, G: (~30GB). [10:51] [amadeus]: oh, sorry i didnt check. already restarting [10:51] hallo, can anyone tell me, where i find the datafile where the shortcut of an user are saved? i want to copy it [10:51] hy [10:51] :D [10:51] the game is in wine [10:51] and it got a bronze last tested [10:51] i got this new hdd im about to install. should i format it as ntfs or ext3? [10:51] hy [10:51] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Well, no problem ... check now :) [10:52] this new hdd is only going to hold media files. [10:52] says mouse isnt shown :X [10:52] Currently, in Computer Management, I can see three primary partitions - C: (20GB), D: (100GB), G: (30GB). What I want to do now is reorganize my HDD space in the following manner - I'd like to leave the D: partition, but I want to delete C: and G: and install WinXP onto a bigger C: partition (30-40GB). [10:52] Ja1: do you mean shortcuts on the Panel? [10:52] Now the problem is, when I boot from the WinXP installation CD, it doesn't show my partitions properly, rather it shows only a single C partition with around 130GB space, and no free space on the HDD. Does anyone know what could be the problem? [10:53] windows cant see EXT3 [10:53] i mean the shortcuts using in gnome [10:53] or watever linux uses [10:53] But all my partitions are NTFS right now. [10:53] if u want a partition that both windows AND linux can access [10:53] use FAT [10:53] drhe|lap , what kind of media ? media is general term . It could mean picture , sound and moving picture like movies and writing. [10:53] with NTFS both can access aswell i beleive [10:54] Kolma: I have NTFS on all of the partitions right now, since I'm using them for Windows, so that ain't the problem. [10:54] tarelerulz, xvid, mpg2, dvd isos, mp3s, etc [10:54] wow even nProtect is working :D [10:54] * Kolma hugs Wine [10:54] hi can i somehow make synaptic work with aptitude instead of apt-get [10:54] [amadeus]: yes, there is also an modules.alias [10:54] whats nprotect? [10:54] im def sticking with ubuntu now :D [10:55] hi [10:55] aww [10:55] game errored [10:55] Ja1 i found some but you have to view hidden files, goto home folder and choose View→Show hidden files then look in .gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers [10:55] I would say banshee is great program for watch movies and listen to your songs. I don't do iso . vlc can do iso and amarok is great for mp3 [10:55] i think cntrl+h will show hidden files too. [10:55] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Ok, so check that file for the number and delete the lines, too. And please check the modules.pcimap again ... [10:56] hi can i somehow make synaptic work with aptitude instead of apt-get ? [10:56] please help me with router: i have 2 network cards. eth1 has internet via dhcp and eth0 is my local network. I can't enable internet for local network. I've made this on gentoo with iptables, but it does not work on ubuntu [10:56] Ja1: there i found my own shortcuts that i created [10:57] bEe_: check your ip_forward [10:57] crazyb0y, i've check it [10:57] is it 0 or 1 ? [10:57] echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [10:57] [amadeus]: ok, now i have removed the lines from modules.alias also. the old changes were not reverted. ill restart again [10:57] it is 1 [10:58] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Ok. [10:58] bEe_: somebody said earlier to share a connection you can install firestarter and tick a box, i have not tried it [10:58] bEe_: what iptables syntax you use for masquerade ? [10:58] iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE [10:59] bEe_: what is your external ethernet card? eth0 or eth1 ? [10:59] eth0 is local network interface [10:59] external is eth1 [10:59] bEe_: flush this rule [10:59] Hey guys, does anyone know why the updater in Ubuntu is so destructive! Everytime I update it seems to reset my xorg.conf and now it has disabled my cpu freqency scaling!!! is there any way to make it stop resetting things? [10:59] what is the range of ip's in your local net ? [10:59] alasdair: are you runing inrepid ibex beta? [10:59] crazyb0y, 10.0.0.0/24. what is "flush"? [11:00] bEe_: iptables -t nat -F ; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE [11:00] BobCFC: No, I am running Ubuntu 8.04 on a webbook [11:00] and try then the connection [11:00] [amadeus]: ok. now the checkbox "enable wireless" disappeared from menu of the network icon in the top panel [11:00] crazyb0y, thanks a lot! it helps! [11:00] Okay, since my problem is kind of long for typing here, and by the time I type it out, people stop following what I wrote, I've written it here: http://pastebin.com/m10ac1b9 I really need to get this fixed so I'd appreciate if somebody helps me. [11:01] crazyb0y, how to save this rule? [11:01] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Yes, because the card isn't loaded yet. You have to "modprobe" the correct modules ... [11:01] bEe_: i use my way to do these settings [11:01] just edit /etc/init.d/iptables and put this line into [11:01] ok thank you very much [11:01] after that update-rc.d iptables defaults [11:02] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: I think in your case it's iwl3945 or something like that [11:02] bEe_: and that's all =) [11:02] ubuntu.... we are from #windows.. we will be joining to implement our discussions with everyone! [11:02] please be patient with us [11:02] LOL [11:03] we are from #winbl0wz =P [11:03] bittyx: are you sure you only care about the data not ur winxp install? === willis__ is now known as Dr_Willis_Not_Re [11:03] [amadeus]: ok, i added the module. the checkboc is back. but still i find no networks [11:04] ahhh [11:04] anyone using atheros wifi ? [11:04] hello, is it possible to set the gnome-search-tool as the standard search program in nautilus? [11:04] im having trouble with bzr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/59202/ [11:04] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Try ifconfig wlan0 up please and after that iwlist wlan0 scan ... you should be able to see some wireless networks (if there are any ^^) [11:04] Hi, I have some gnome configuration questions: How can one allow partial moving of windows to another desktop (so that the window ends up halfway)? [11:04] hi all [11:04] BobCFC: well. i have a HH partition... just usin this for my wife [11:04] BobCFC: Yeah, I want to have a fresh WinXP installed, and obviously I could back up the whole thing and format the whole HDD, but that's the problem - I don't have a place to back up all that stuff right now, so if there is a solution that doesn't involve using another HDD/many DVD's for the backup, I would appreciate to hear it. [11:05] hack me.... BobCFC [11:05] hi gloryman [11:05] And anyone know a really slim titlebar theme? [11:05] [amadeus]: ifconfig still gives the same error [11:06] could someone point me where is placed X11-keyboard HAL based configuration in ubuntu 8.10?? [11:06] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Put the last lines of dmesg in our pastebin, please [11:06] Lynoure: about how slim are we talking? [11:06] Hehe, Installed the LAMP pack now. But how to use/start it (can't find it in the apps list). [11:06] balrog: not nonexisting, just as slim as possible with text on it still [11:06] [amadeus]: i cannot because i cannot access net with the broken machine. [11:07] balrog: I've pretty much only seen normal ones and one non-existing kind. [11:07] madwifi and restricted-modules in ubuntu 8.10 doesn't work for atheros! [11:07] GarfIIeld: should be something like 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start' if apache isnt started already... === Xen is now known as Xanny === Xanny is now known as Xen [11:07] eh [11:07] bittyx: if you have an Ubuntu LiveCD you can boot it without installing and used the Partition editor in System->Admin menu.. delete the two small drives, move the big data to the end of the disk and leave 40gb or so free space at the front, then when install XP it will offer to create partition in free space [11:07] balrog: I'm trying to make most of a Aspire One screen space [11:07] Hey how do you see peoples IP addresses? [11:07] where are the windows peeple? frm #windows? they say they b here [11:07] I want to use one of you as my own proxy server [11:07] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Well, you're right *g* Is there any error message after you tried ifconfig wlan0 up? [11:07] someone, please where new config files for xorg configuration in ubuntu 8.10 ?? [11:07] Xen: explain your question [11:07] Xen: host hostnamehere [11:07] Lynoure: I am currently using Blue Joy from gnome-look.org [11:08] Xen: try #tor on oftc =) [11:08] host crazyb0y [11:08] BobCFC: Are you sure that WinXP won't automatically assign the remaining partition the C: drive letter? That's what I'm afraid of at the moment. [11:08] bittyx: it might take a while to move the data partition if the drive is old but it should be fine you wont loose anything [11:08] [amadeus]: yes SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directorty [11:08] Lynoure: and the titlebar is thin enough for me (and im on a 1400x800 screen) [11:09] bittyx: if you have the free space at the font of the disk, when xp installs and offers to create a new partition it will call the 1st on C: and 2nd D:, so move the space to the front [11:09] [amadeus]: dmesg says: iwl3945:iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode firmware file req failes: Reason -2 [11:09] *failde [11:09] balrog, will that start all the apps in the pack or just the apache server. [11:09] *failed [11:09] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Oh! So there's just the firmware missing ... :-) [11:09] bittyx: ubuntu 8.10 is probably the best there is... u install it and u will still have your windows partition ready to roll on GRUB... previos version sucks... u have to mess w/ the list [11:09] BobCFC: It's a relatively new drive - less than a year old. How do I move the data to the end of the HDD? Or rather, how do I know where it is in Ubuntu's partition manager? [11:09] df -h [11:09] or mbr or grub [11:09] d it since [11:09] balrog: linpus had something really really skinny, but I have not been able to find it since [11:10] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Wait a minute, please. I'll look for it ... [11:10] linuxman2: I don't want to have two systems on this PC, since I don't have enough HDD space, I'm leaving Ubuntu for another place. [11:10] Hey, guys. Do you know how to configure DNS server in Kubuntu latest Interpid Ibex beta ? [11:10] GarfIIeld: You install the lamp stack in Synaptic or something I take it? You may also need to restart MySQL as well, but last time I installed the LAMP stack they all were started for me, I just had to config them a bit. [11:10] bittyx: when you boot the liveCD goto System→Admin→Partition editor it is quite easy to use if you have only one disk, and you can play around the changes wont take effect untill you hit aply. you can delete partitions and drag them aound to move the space or make them bigger etc [11:11] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-3945-ucode-15.28.1.6.tgz [11:11] How can I mount my external usb disk manually? There is no statement in the fstab but always connected automatically when connecting the disk to the usb port [11:11] how do i use du so that i can see everything in the current dir only (and no subdirs) but with all inclusive filesizes (size of subdirs + files inside these individual dirs) [11:11] BobCFC: Okay, I'll do that then. Thank you very much for your help! [11:11] I need some help with ubuntu server,I can [11:11] cant* [11:11] Bye everybody! [11:11] get it to boot up fully [11:11] because it asks for my password but wont let me type it [11:12] ok, i will install those. will that be self-explanatory [11:12] ? [11:12] bittyx well.. try puppy i guess [11:12] balrog: Yes, in Synaptic. But can't see anything like a webserver here. [11:12] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Extract it to any location and then copy the "iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode" to /lib/firmware/{your kernel} _and_ to /lib/firmware only [11:12] is there a PUPPY/DSL type ubuntu distro? [11:12] i would love to have it [11:12] GarfIIeld: goto http://localhost and tell me what you see [11:13] balrog: actually, the only Blue Joy I found on GnomeLooks was a colour scheme... [11:13] It works! ;) [11:13] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Then unload the driver with rmmod iwl3945 and load it with modprobe iwl3945 again ... [11:14] balrog: or anyway, not including titlebars/window frames [11:14] [amadeus]: ok will try that and mybe check back later i gotta leave this machine now! thanks alot! [11:14] GarfIIeld: Apache is running. Which means PHP probably is as well, and MySQL should be, although I'm not sure how to test it. The default web root is (I think) /var/www so you may want to check out the files there. Be careful with symlinks in that directory as well. [11:14] maybe = most likely... [11:14] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: Ok, i think it will work ;-) byebye [11:15] bye! *bow* [11:15] balrog: ok, so all those apps are auto loaded at startup? === Gary is now known as spongebob [11:16] HELP! is there a UBUNTU distro like PUPPY? [11:16] Lynoure: Well, according to my theme manager, Blue Joy is a theme for controls and window borders... and i think you can manually adjust the theme files, as they are simply xml [11:17] GarfIIeld: I think so. === spongebob is now known as GazzaK [11:17] linuxman2: depends on what you mean by "like PUPPY"... [11:17] balrog: the "it works" html file is in there "var/www". So how to configure it the mysql db and so on? MyPHPAdmin? [11:17] Is there a way to find my internet IP address through the terminal? [11:17] balrog: PUPPY LINUX... run off RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM [11:18] i think [11:18] too much people here :/ [11:18] bustaplz: ifconfig [11:18] GarfIIeld: I use PHPMyAdmin, which is probably what you meant. Yes, it should be in /var/www [11:18] linuxman2: if you want a small ubuntu checkout crunchbaglinux they take ubuntu stripit and only use small fast apps.. still looks nice [11:18] hello, is it possible to set the gnome-search-tool as the standard search program in nautilus? [11:18] I mean my ip outside of my router [11:18] bustaplz: http://whatismyipaddress.com [11:19] a [11:19] Should use syndaemon :/ [11:19] can someone tell me if there is a way to make text in the titlebar appear on the left side instead of in the middle? [11:19] crazyb0y yes but is there a way to find that without using GUI? [11:19] * balrog mutters something about september 1993 [11:19] bustaplz: traceroute =) [11:19] balrog: then it might be the download was broken, very tiny, would not install as a theme. Oh well. [11:19] http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=crunchbaglinux BobCFC this is what ends up w/ crunchbaglinux [11:20] rodimus: one sec, you simply have to edit an xml file and login/logout [11:20] balrog: yes I did, just forgot the name. But in WAMP PHPMyAdmin was in the pack, what about in the LAMP pack? [11:20] bustaplz: not easily. the router hides it from you, so you'd need a tool that asks the router -- no generic tool for that [11:20] balrog ok thanks [11:20] joinr /php [11:20] Everyone I found an exploit in OpenSSH 3.4 [11:20] anyone using madwifi with atheros ? [11:20] linuxman2: hangon ill find it [11:20] Say I wanted to use a script to get my IP address on my headless server and then email it to my gmail account. [11:20] bow down to meh. [11:20] Possible at all? [11:21] bustaplz: you'd need dyndns or something. some routers have that feature built in [11:21] thanks BobCFC: btw whats cfc? comodo firewall control> [11:21] linuxman2: Chelsea FC === x-punk is now known as mclure [11:21] bustaplz: they register with dyndns, and a simple dns lookup for that dns name would find the public IP [11:21] linuxman2: right ok sorry its crunchbang not crunchbag lool [11:22] GarfIIeld: i think it is. if its not, its very easy to install with synaptic. [11:22] okay I'll look into that as an option [11:22] linuxman2: Cheslea FC is the biggest football club in the world [11:22] linuxman2: here is the link http://crunchbang.org/projects/linux/ [11:23] bustaplz: i've got a cheap router and it supports it, and my previous one did too. but yours might not [11:23] balrog: did you find it yet? [11:23] Any idea how I can configure Gnome to allow dragging of windows into other desktops? Is it possible? [11:23] wats force logout code again? [11:23] linuxman2: i ran in in VM it uses OpenBox so it is faster/smaller but theme was nice and setup etc [11:24] I've also exploited your mother's [11:24] rodimus: patience...

Already got my URL set up [11:26] Thanks for the advice [11:26] Lynoure: another thing you can do is drag the little icon in the panel between desk 1 and 2 etc, but it is more fiddly [11:27] hi [11:27] Lynoure: if you hover over the thing it says click to drag to a different workspace [11:27] Lynoure: also if you rightclick on the titlebar and choose move left right etc [11:27] fudtdjh [11:27] ccghcghg === rraj_be is now known as seilesh [11:28] is there anyone can speak Chinese [11:28] move to another workspace, but not partially. === badelvis is now known as BadElvis [11:29] jioyo: did you try the chinese channel?

[11:30] [amadeus]: hey, thanks! it worked. i'm very impressed! still, i have not the slightest idea what could have caused this. from one day to the other it simply refused to work... [11:30] thanks BobCFC! [11:30] hello [11:30] lemme try it out BobCFC [11:30] Lynoure: you can also rightclick on the titlebar and choose move left or move right etc [11:30] balrog: ok shoot [11:30] when i mount my pen drive using sudo mkdir /media/stick1; sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/stick1 -t vfat -o rw,user [11:30] [amadeus]: dont know whether the firmware was there before, and if it was, how it got deleted [11:31] it mounts as as read only [11:31] My laptop has a built in sd card slot, and I can read files from it well, but i can't unmount it. Does anyone know how to fix it? I can't actually write files to it to transfer to another machine without corrupting them [11:31] BobCFC: Figured it out now, thanks :) [11:31] tavish: you need to use proper a proper umask option if you want to mount it yourself [11:31] !vfat > tavish [11:31] tavish, please see my private message [11:32] I do have a question about Ubuntu support [11:32] Where do things go from a live CD [11:32] to the RAM? === Raymond_CN is now known as Raymond_CN_away [11:32] Xen: ram [11:32] YES! [11:32] I was right. [11:32] thank god [11:32] balrog: How to find out if it's installed or not. It isn't checked as installed in Synaptic.

[11:34] sudo mkdir /media/stick1; sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/stick1 -t vfat -o rw,user [11:34] is there something wrong in this. i used to do this earlier [11:34] balrog, you there? [11:34] tavish: did you see my reply? [11:34] GarfIIeld: if its not check as installed in synaptic, its not installed. go ahead and install it through synaptic [11:34] rodimus: yes, sorry, i was writing up the instructions here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/59225/ [11:34] hello, is it possible to set the gnome-search-tool as the standard search program in nautilus? [11:35] balrog: ok [11:35] anyone else install gnome-do and nothing happens when you start it? [11:35] !vfat what [11:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about vfat what [11:35] like i did the key combo [11:35] Wait until I crack the kernel open and make module legs for ubuntu [11:35] william__: press win+space [11:35] its not listed in top [11:35] and module arms [11:35] from the USB [11:35] you'll be like OMFG [11:35] its like it wont start [11:36] rodimus: oh, and I forgot to say, after you are done editing all of the relevant lines in the file, you will want to save the file and logout/login (or just restart your window manager if you know how to do that). [11:36] He's done it. [11:36] tavish: you need to use a proper umask option. The link ubottu sent you in a private message explains the details. Poke me if you are stuck after reading it [11:36] william__: try running from the terminal then you can read any error messages [11:36] i have a solid 8.04 install, nothing broken [11:36] balrog: thank you [11:36] !ot | Xen [11:36] Xen: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:36] i tried that, sits blank, doesnt work [11:36] rodimus: your welcome :-D [11:36] whats the command to remove a directory and all sub directories? [11:36] william__, sits blank as in just dies, or sits blank as in runs, but no output? [11:37] no output, hotkey does nothing [11:37] william__, You could install strace and do strace gnome-do to see what it's actually doing [11:37] and if i run it with the menu, it never lists in top [11:37] well htop, better obviously [11:37] :) [11:37] anybody know of a good host outside the EU? [11:37] I have a question [11:37] ATI [11:38] Xen, is great yes [11:38] that's not a question, Xen [11:38] ATI radeon 9550 support [11:38] a FREE host, i mean [11:38] for ubuntu [11:38] Xen: nor is that, or that [11:38] Xen: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying [11:38] shawnmstout: should be something like "rm -r " [11:38] haha [11:38] it worked when i installed and now I'm guessing that .... [11:38] !ask| Xen [11:38] Xen: 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. :-) [11:38] the new driver sucks [11:38] hi [11:38] !hello | atari [11:38] atari: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:38] Xen, the new driver is for HD, correct? [11:39] anyone know how i can make my terminal line size stick? [11:39] i have an debian etch. can i just modify sources.list to use the ubuntu repository and type apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [11:39] i'm trying to set up evolution for my email [11:39] hi balrog .oO( and of course ubottu ;)Oo. [11:39] balrog: now it's done and I could simple navigate to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ thx ;) [11:39] william__: do you mean 80x25 etc when you launch it? [11:39] william__: you mean the width of the terminal in characters? [11:39] yeah [11:39] atari: no, you'll probably have major issues. Just install ubuntu and copy over your data from /home [11:39] i want like 120x40 [11:39] I'm using a CRT 17" monitor and I have an ATI Radeon 9500 128 mb. It works, however it blinks and SDL does not seem to work. [11:39] GarfIIeld: yep. np. [11:39] using the setup assistant, i've gotten the ms exchange authenticated but for some reason the "forward" button is greyed out [11:39] jrib: not possible. the kernel doesnt boot [11:40] william__: yes you can specifiy a parameter in the launcher hangon... [11:40] jrib: i need to use my self compiled kernel [11:40] My question is what is up with ATI in ubuntu 7.10 newest update? [11:40] william__, you could do that in Xdefaults [11:40] Also what is up with SDL? [11:40] atari: even from 8.10? [11:40] jrib: jep [11:40] I think 8.10 [11:40] jrib: it's an intel atom board [11:40] another question lol [11:40] atari: you should be filing bugs [11:40] Heron [11:40] jrib: its a general problem... [11:40] william__, *geometry 80x25 for example, in ~/.Xdefaults [11:41] jrib: i think it has to do with the agp/bios part on the mainboard [11:41] william__, No idea if that applies to gnome-terminal though, i'm using it for urxvt. [11:41] jrib: with agp=off i can boot [11:41] I have the newest updates for ubuntu and the newest kernel. The ATI card is not working. [11:41] wtf [11:41] both the restricted and non-restricted driver. [11:41] atari: with a bug report I hope. Anyway, people claim to have succeeded in doing what you are saying, but things will break and you will have to fix them. Don't count on it working, but you can try [11:41] ? [11:41] They're both buggy or something. [11:41] Hi all, [11:41] RETARDS [11:41] HEY MAN [11:41] that quakye terminal thing like id games, does the kdebase and all have to run to use that? [11:41] william__: when you run it in the launcher properties chang it to gnome-terminal --geometry=120x40 [11:42] steff_: do you have a question? Please ask it in a single line in a non-annoying manner [11:42] steff_: please dont write in caps, and dont call us names [11:42] !stfu > steff_ [11:42] steff_, please see my private message [11:42] jrib: i didnt have the time yet to find out what exactly is going wrong [11:42] I want to connect to internet using the internet connection of my server and not the one I'm using to access it throug ssh [11:42] hello, steff_, you seem to have a problem with shouting [11:42] i have no idea what that message said...

[11:42] !stfu > zhaozhou_ [11:42] zhaozhou_, please see my private message [11:42] !stfu | balrog [11:42] balrog, please see my private message [11:42] steph is a pastashio. [11:42] haha, !stfu was not appropriate. [11:43] THANK YOU for the term size answer [11:43] 100pc works [11:43] wat the [11:43] william__: i like a widescreen terminal to match my monitor :) [11:43] william__, which one did you use? [11:43] atari: I think that's the better approach (finding the bug on bugs.ubuntu.com) [11:43] hi all. I am on windows now, but want to download certain libraries (.deb files) for use at home. I can download the libraries, but the dependancies are the real issue. Is there a way I can download .deb file AND his dependancies in a fairly easy way? [11:43] launcher gnome-terminal --geometry=120x40 [11:43] r u all lozers [11:43] i changed the language under language support but the language does not change [11:43] steff_, Stop it. [11:43] i just edited the launcher on my bar [11:43] jrib: it has to do with, that i have an additional pci graphic card inserted [11:44] !language [11:44] !offline > Reenen [11:44] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [11:44] Reenen, please see my private message [11:44] So no one here can tell me what is up with SDL? [11:44] language support? [11:44] ??? [11:44] I'm trying to make a game in SDL and it compiles fine. [11:45] Reenen: i think apt-on-cd is for someting like that.. i know people with dialup use it to backup packages [11:45] But it doesn't do what it's supposed to. [11:45] dialup... whoa. [11:45] zhaozhou_: yeah the guy was in brazil [11:46] poor fellow. [11:46] I am in afghanistan [11:46] grrr.... bzr was working perfectly for so long, and now i cant use the builtin help! anybody know anything about that? [11:46] i would like language support [11:46] I want to connect to internet using the internet connection of my server and not the one I'm using to access it throug ssh [11:47] hey [11:47] I did something impressively stupid, can anyone help me? [11:47] hello [11:47] Hiya! Is BobCFC still here? :) [11:47] sybux, You are trying to... what? make your server a bridge? [11:47] sybux: as a proxy or by sharing the internet connection? [11:47] bittyx: any luck? [11:47] ankhwatcher: uhoh, just ask the question and we'll try to help as much as possible [11:47] chaddy: yes something like this. [11:48] I kinda rm -Rfv'd my bin folder [11:48] but a proxy through a ssh connection [11:48] Is software raid suported in ubuntu server? [11:48] ankhwatcher: which bin folder exactly? [11:48] BobCFC: I am in Ubuntu now, playing with the stuff. I've deleted the two partitions and moved the big one to the end. But I realized that I'm not sure what you told me to do - should I just leave the ~50GB unallocated space at the beginning of the HDD and then make a partition during the WinXP install, or should I create my C: partition now, from Ubuntu? [11:48] can i get help changing language to Pashto? [11:48] sybux, SSH has builtin SOCKS-support, i think. [11:48] sybux: that was an or question, yes isn't an appropriate answer [11:48] hi there. Is there any way to make aspell work in two languages at the same time? (russian and english here) === johnson is now known as Guest81936 [11:49] sybux: if it's just sharing look at firestarter or iptables [11:49] anybody know if the hardy cd had a rescue option? [11:49] bittyx: leave the free space and XP will give you a choice when you install, tell it to create a new partition in the free space then [11:49] actually I'm connected to my server via ssh. I've create a socks to it but I'm not sure that when I connect to internet I'm using the socks how can I check this ? [11:49] jonathan_: system -> administration -> language support to enable it. Then choose it as your language by clicking on the "options" button at the login screen [11:50] ankhwatcher: give me a minute and ill burn a hardy cd to figure out if i can save a system from the livecd [11:50] Okay, thanks a lot. I'm off to do that then, see you later. I'll inform you if everything goes well, otherwise... I won't be able to inform you :) Thanks again, bye [11:50] sybux, Well, i guess you've created a socks-server on localhost port whatever, so you set up your browser to use that proxy-server [11:50] is there repository where I can download bin [11:50] sybux, localhost port whatever :-) [11:51] you know leaving windows is like leaving a long time relationship that turned shitty [11:51] sybux, Although, i've never done it myself. [11:51] I did that but it does not change everything? should it change the Applications and all that? [11:51] you really want to, and everything tells you to [11:51] but you have this feeling of stepping into the path of a train [11:51] I was trying to clear off my second hard drive which had an unsuccessful ubuntu server edition install on it [11:51] LOL [11:51] vonderer: from a casual google it seems not [11:51] ok that's what I'm using but I'm not very sure that all connection go through the socks [11:51] william__, Hah, you have a point there [11:52] Is it possible to ask ubuntu to use the socks connection. not only in firefox [11:52] I couldn't find a command that would delete all the files in it, so I figured I'd delete them one at a time [11:52] lol, quick question, anything like the vidalia bundle for nix? [11:52] chaddy: yeah, that's why I asked :) Thanks [11:52] and maybe SOCKSCAP? [11:52] rm deleted the bin on my ubuntu server install and the install on the other hard drive [11:52] vonderer: no worries, sorry not to be the bearer of better news ;) [11:52] so SOCKSCAP and Tor for *nix [11:53] ankhwatcher: no worries, you have learned, just like a bunch of other people, that rm is a very dangerous command... [11:53] rpedro__, heheh. Well, you could simply reformat it, you know, make a clean install. [11:53] which makes me wonder if it didn't delete every other thing named bin [11:53] rpedro__, -> ankhwatcher [11:53] yeah [11:53] that did occur to me [11:53] but reformatting is a pain in console [11:54] i have all my data on a ntfs partition, make sense to leave ti that way, or make the move to ext3? === icqnumber__ is now known as icqnumber [11:54] ankhwatcher, well, to reformat you'll need a live cd. And i guess you have an ubuntu livecd, then you can simply do mkfs.ext3 /dev/drive OR use the install-application and just check 'reformat' :-) [11:54] william__: ntfs reads and writes are pretty stable now, it's up to you, really === Raymond_CN_away is now known as Raymond_CN [11:54] reformat what? [11:54] william__, You will have problems with user rights if you use ntfs, but it works. [11:55] and I have several ubuntu server edition 64bit disks [11:55] I'm banging my head against the wall trying to force a custom liveCD to use nv or nvidia x-driver. [11:55] its all just data, music and windows installers etc [11:55] some video, nothing secure [11:55] I'm not sure who suggested DynDNS earlier, but thank you. Got it working and installed ddclient. [11:55] ankhwatcher, the rather unsuccessful installationpartition. :-) [11:55] ankhwatcher: is the borked system downed? if not, id keep it running for the moment... [11:56] dhart, What about the xorg.conf? [11:56] yep it's still running [11:56] hi, I'd like to ask, how can I reuse downloaded deb packages on different machine, I'd like to avoid re-downloading all of the packages from internet. I tried to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal but I don't see my packages in there. If I run Synaptic and flip to view by "Origin", I see there option "Local/main", but I see there only 4 of ~350 packages. [11:57] of 350 packages which I have in deb files. [11:57] ankhwatcher: does it have much on it? or is it fairly clean still? [11:57] yes [11:58] the last.fm app is awesome [11:58] william__, gotta love last.fm [11:58] zhaozhou_: xorg auto-detection isn't working on the chipset I'm using (with 8.04.1), so /etc/xorg.conf is generated incorrectly at boot/casper-time [11:58] thought it would be a browser window you know [11:58] like the pandora one [11:58] mirex: try apt-on-cd i think it backusp your packages so you can move them to another pc [11:58] ankhwatcher: ah, so you used rm on a live, important server? [11:58] dhart, Is xorg.conf really generated at boot-time? I did'nt know that [11:59] I used rm on my media server [11:59] ankhwatcher: ouch...hmmm [11:59] mirex: http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ [11:59] mirex: the 'manual' way is to transfer the .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives to the other machine [11:59] zhaozhou_: booting from a liveCD, yes (I'm customizing a liveCD for a small internet cafe) [11:59] I'm just setting it up again after a fresh reinstall [11:59] que tal [11:59] nx is being a right pain, fyi [12:00] just make a gparted disc [12:00] dhart, Huh. Anyway, if it is for a few specific computers, why not just create it yourself? No harm in that [12:00] !fr [12:00] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [12:00] works great [12:00] bimberi: I'' try that [12:00] but lets get commands like ls back before we worry about nx [12:00] zhaozhou_: that's the trouble. I can't find where in the boot process to specify/override and force the use of nv or nvidia driver [12:01] does anyone know if ubuntu mobile could possibly support windows mobile devices soon? [12:01] my laptop is about to die here [12:01] in 7.04, it was in debconf [12:01] ARM, TI OMAP etc [12:01] so can someone sum up what it is i need to do? [12:01] in 7.10, it was in xresprobe [12:01] now it's moved again [12:01] william__: i know an ARM port is happening now [12:01] ankhwatcher: backup and reinstall your installed programs [12:01] i have a hp h6315, that had a neato lilo booter and ran familiar linux [12:01] problem ...: while I open screen resolution .. I am give this message support needed [12:02] dhart, none of those is really in boot-time, are they? They are executed way into the init-process. perhaps i'm just thinking 'boot' as something else then you are. [12:02] ushare nxserver ddclient kde and gde [12:02] is there a way to make netstat go one screen at a time? [12:02] badfish: pipe it to less netstat | less [12:02] zhaozhou_: the liveCD does all sorts of weird things that aren't typically done at boot time [12:02] would installing the ubuntu mobile package be ok for a tabletpc? [12:03] help :: [12:03] like a nice one, its not crippled is it? [12:03] that just gives me an empty terminal window [12:03] dhart, I'm thinking at boot-time as the level 1. [12:03] yeah, would ubuntu mobile support my touch screen? [12:03] i stand corrected [12:03] I have a tx1000 [12:03] i want that nifty touch ui [12:03] and I'm tempted [12:04] zhaozhou_, oh yeah, I'm using the term 'boot' pretty broadly. all that liveCD stuff is done by casper post-boot [12:04] badfish: also do you know you can use shift-pageup shift-pagedown to go back at the terminal? [12:04] serious question, does ubuntu do power managment as good as windows on a laptop? [12:05] ubuntu (and xubuntu) does very cool power management [12:05] i did not [12:05] it tells me how much power my wireless mouse has left [12:05] william__, better. [12:05] ankhwatcher : help me out [12:05] windows knows... it just wont tell you [12:05] ankhwatcher : stuck with screen resolution [12:05] oh [12:05] i had this running slackware [12:05] ankhwatcher, really? which mouse do you have? [12:06] logitech media mouse [12:06] you see i want to ditch windows ok. but there are a few win32 apps i NEED, sucks, wine isnt good enough yet [12:06] zhaozhou_ I think i can perhaps just override /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and remove all autodetection from initrd/scripts/casper/boot-bottom/s20xconfig ... [12:06] ankhwatcher: i think it would be best to simply reinstall ubuntu from scratch if you can, or boot from a livecd and copy the files from the livecd's /bin to your hard drive's /bin... [12:06] badfish: only trouble is you have a limited buffer, somthing like compile may go too far off the screen, in that case you can either use less or save the output to a file suchas netstat > results.txt and then read the text file [12:06] i installed the latest wine 1.16 and it broke everything [12:06] went back to 1.0 and all is well [12:06] yeah that's why i wanted it to go a screen at a time [12:06] dhart, Yeah, but you'll need the nvidia-kernel module though [12:07] ankhwatcher : so why does this message pop up [12:07] william__, There are alteratives to most applications now [12:07] zhaozhou_: that's installed and the liveCD remastered (using reconstructor, which provides lots of shortcuts for liveCD remastering!) [12:07] i run a san andreas multiplayer server and use ventrilo extensivly so [12:08] other then that yeah [12:08] dhart, You know what? I really suck at livecd's. :-D The only livecd's i've created has been really static, fit only to my specific system. [12:08] dhart, And that was gentoo. :-D i probably cant help you much [12:08] support [12:08] i have a neat deal with a friend, i have a dual quad xeon box on fiber with no bandwidth restrictions, runs fedora [12:09] digitalfallacy: what is the square root of 4? [12:09] digitalfallacy, if someone know's the answer to your problems, they'll answer you. [12:09] quite overkill for a game server, but free, its great [12:09] 16 [12:09] ok [12:09] balrog, ? xD [12:09] what i wouldnt give to have 10m/10m internet at home [12:10] bimberi: thanks a lot. Gave me few confusion moments, but after I removed all repository sources from list, I found only those cached in 'Not installed' list, great. [12:10] balrog, 2*2=4 [12:10] also -2 [12:10] zhaozhou_: seemed like a bot to me...figured a bot couldnt answer that question too well. [12:10] -2 * -2 = 4 [12:10] zhaozhou_ - no worries - I'll see if anyone tomorrow thinks there's a better way than completely disabling S20xconfig... [12:10] aha! :-D [12:10] road runner in wisconsin is nice though, 2/786 unrestricted for 39.99 [12:10] suare root [12:10] ya 2 and -2 [12:11] man i am lost in these fast converstions [12:11] digitalfallacy: you had me wondering there for a minute... [12:11] 786 up is soo limited though [12:11] mirex: cool :) [12:11] william__, i beat that [12:11] ya I am wonderi g how can i give such stupid answers [12:11] digitalfallacy: my excuse is that its late... [12:11] william__, let me just convert the prices [12:11] is it possible to start 2 "gedit"s instead of opening a new tab when it's already started? [12:12] I'm going to drop off in about 5 minutes === Raymond_CN is now known as Raymond_CN_away [12:12] oh yeah [12:12] william__: tokyo is moving to gigabit. in London i have 24mb/2mb UNLIMITED for $35 [12:12] ya It is [12:12] lol geez, cable?

[12:13] yeah nothing is blocked here, free usenet, all ports open and unthrottled [12:13] digitalfallacy: he said "easy" not "awesome" [12:13] vi is okay, but kind of awkard [12:13] emac is another [12:13] BobCFC, which means i have more then double for less then half that price...

[12:29] BobCFC, how would i ba able to acces my computer our side my network ?

[12:34] and it breaks the swap partition [12:34] then the problem is with the hibernation itself! [12:35] Ubuntu can't play two sounds at once, HELP ME!!!! [12:35] is libc6 for 8.04 corrupt in the repo itself or is it me ? [12:35] cuz if it hibernated correctly, it would boot back.. [12:35] yes.. [12:35] i saw that.. [12:35] isn't there a special kernel option to put on the command line in grub to handle resume on a specific swap partition ? === Raymond_CN is now known as Raymond_CN_away [12:35] the impression I get is that linux doesn't know from which swap partition resume from [12:35] i dont have advance desktop effects [12:36] no o vlc player install ...although i have tried gstreamer [12:36] orhan_: just look for something that says "effects" in it [12:36] @find Project Pop - Bukan Superstar [12:36] zigovr: i have never tried, but i thnk you pass a command using grub to resume or something [12:37] orhan_: system -> preferences -> appearance -> visual effects [12:37] !ccsm | orhan_ [12:37] orhan_: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

[12:49] you're welcome [12:49] redshift1972: i am a 64bit user and i recommend 32bit unless you have large ram [12:49] Thanks gang i thought it was a lil misleading how the selective download is set up [12:50] krzd: i think you can use cntrl while clicking close on the message to force it to remember its position [12:50] amanu: i have two monitors, one with 19" and one with 17" [12:50] krzd:to same system? [12:50] amanu: yes same system, same X isntance, with nvida TwinView [12:50] Rideh: do i have to do this every time [12:51] krzd: no you can update its "memory" though using the keyboard combination [12:51] k, thx i will try it [12:51] krzd: it might not be contrl but alt or shift cntrl ... play around with it a bit you'll get it.

[13:02] ok, np [13:02] TheNo1Yeti: when you type ./sc can you press TAB for auto complete, that is usually a sign if it can read a file [13:02] anyone can please look http://rafb.net/p/MWnDZA79.html , i am kinda losing my mind :) [13:02] Autocomplete works [13:02] lamur: clam antivirus [13:02] lamur, yes and no.. :) the software for 'linux' exists to scan windows files for windows viruses... [13:02] lamur, avast has a anti virus free service for linux [13:02] But still gives same issue [13:02] lamur, if thats what you want to do... [13:03] hello guys [13:03] oke so ubuntu doesn't need a anti-virus ? [13:03] TheNo1Yeti: is the file executable? chmod +x sc_serv ??? [13:03] i stick in awfull wireless troubles [13:04] lamur, no , however windows virus can work in wine [13:04] Yea. I already checked all of the basics. proper case, right directory, autocomplete completes, 755 permissions, even did a chmod +x just to be safe.

[13:07] my laptop has a atheros ar5008x [13:07] Tankado, try 'sudo apt-get -f remove' yet? [13:07] TheNo1Yeti: hmm only funny thing is you have -bash if i just type ./hello it says bash no dash [13:07] how can i get information about my ip setup? [13:07] hi [13:07] dr_willis : getting same error [13:08] hi everyone, i have a small and propably easy to solve problem. where do i configure the behaivour of Start Menu -> Places. every time i try to open an folder it starts totem instead of nautilus, this is somewhat annoying :) thanks in advance [13:08] BobCFC: It's like that if I try ./hello also. It says -bash: ./hello: No such file or directory [13:08] hello, i got a question; did there is a tools to control tor and privoxy for gnome, there in tork but its for the KDE desktop, so my question is there is a tools like tork for gnome ? [13:09] hi [13:09] ciao [13:09] I think there is a memory leak in one of my applications as my ram usage is suddenly ~5gb greater than normal. How can I find which apps are using lots of ram? [13:09] TheNo1Yeti: maybe it's changed in ibex [13:09] [13:09] my crontab does not work, can someone help me? [13:10] Brand new installation also. Only been up for maybe 30 minutes. Which is why it's stumping me [13:10] central, you could install tork and use it under gnome, or theres some firefox extensions that work with tor also. [13:10] someone here who was able to make atheros ar5008x work? [13:11] robert1, install madwifi [13:11] anyone can please look http://rafb.net/p/MWnDZA79.html , i cant remove this package [13:11] Other scripts work though. Just wrote a simple bash script and it executes fine [13:12] Trying to vnc into ubuntu using a shh tunnel [13:12] @see http://pastebin.com/d64b590ed [13:12] I get Failed to connect to server. [13:12] TheNo1Yeti, last time ir ecall somtning that odd.. was due to extra whitespace chaacters in the #!/bin/whatever line of the script [13:12] help-me [13:12] Ste1, did ya read up at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH yet? [13:12] i live in china... and there is a great firewall, so i use tor, i try tork but it seam to not working with gnome ?? [13:12] hello all. I was trying to install Code::Blocks on Ubuntu 8.04. I read the manual and it says that it is not in the standard repository. In the installation manual it asks me to download the .deb package from the nightly builds. Unfortunately I only see Windows specific nightly builds and no deb packages. Can anyone help me with this? [13:12] Hrm. I will see if I can get a new executable cause that's what this is. Not a script. Thanks BobCFC & dr_willis [13:13] my crontab does net work [13:13] whats the default $LANGUAGE $LC_ALL set to? [13:13] javolatra i think I'm just a step away from make it work. i guess it depends only on the connection setup. I've ath9k which is the latest madwifi driver for atheros already installed [13:13] gl [13:13] hi. i have problem with configuretion of Ati CCC. can someone help me? [13:14] i want two screen - monitor and TV but no clone mode [13:14] robert1, how is your ifconfig? [13:14] dr_willis, I did read it, but they use x11vnc, while Ubuntu already comes with vino? === Raymond_CN is now known as Raymond_CN_away [13:15] but if i set long screen - one on left second on right i can't edit resolution of display :( [13:15] I have only Ubuntu on my computer. I am going to sell the computer to a friend who wants it "clean" from all operating systems. I have tried all day but not been able to find a way to remove Ubuntu. Can anyone please tell me how to do this or point me in the right direction? [13:15] Ste1, I thought the process would be identical for the tunneling part.. most all the vnc servers work about the same way. Personally i never share the 'current desktop' i make 'hidden' desktops that i share. [13:16] skurakai1: are you using aticonfig? [13:16] BobCFC: i dont understand this - i use graphic mode [13:16] taamodt, use fdisk or gparted.. and delete all partitions. === Raymond_CN_away is now known as Raymond_CN [13:16] taamodt, or use dd and zero out the drive. (thats extreme) [13:16] aaah interesting, it shows to entry for my adapter! [13:17] does anybody know how to use GNUCASH? [13:17] skurakai1: ok i am nvidia only sorry not much help but i belive there is a program called aticonfig that comes with the drivers to setup the screens [13:17] drwillis: which one is the easiest way? I just use those programs within Ubuntu and then what happens? [13:18] robert1, then it is already installed [13:18] and the ip setup is wrong [13:18] the mask and the gateway is wrong [13:18] BobCFC: ok. thanks for time [13:18] taamodt, depends on what you want to do. i tend to use 'vnc4server' but i do not ssh tunnle anything. i just use it on the local lan. [13:19] [13:19] does the following [13:19] that's strange! i set the correct information in the /etc/network/interfaces [13:19] sudo /etc/init.d/network restart [13:19] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart would be better [13:20] ;) [13:20] driwillis: All I want/need is to remove everything from the computer, so that when the person who is buying it gets it he can put in a installation CD for the OS of his choice.. (sorry didnt understand the vnc4server comment...) [13:20] javolatra do you have any idea how i can set the correct ip information? [13:20] "by default, you can only write there if you use sudo. If you want to make it easier, create a new group www-editors or something and change the group ownershipt and permissions of /var/www/" I have now created the group "www-editors" and changed the ownership and permissions of /var/www/ for that group, but now. What to do next to get access to that folder? (I'm noob I know!) [13:20] chaddy, ok [13:20] wlan0:avahi Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:15:af:ed:3c:42 [13:20] taamodt, im helpong too many people :) - if linux is still isntalled.. fire up gparted.. delete all partitions on the drives.. and power off.. all done. [13:21] taamodt, grub might get left on the boot loader.. but thats not a big deal. [13:21] GarfIIeld: add youself to that group? === sk_ is now known as _sk [13:21] robert1, sudo ifconfig ath0 +IP [13:21] drwillis: thanks I will try that:) [13:21] bobCFC: I get "useradd: user ***** exists" error or ok? [13:21] inet addr:169.254.6.117 Bcast:169.254.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 [13:22] msn [13:22] robert1, ok [13:22] or how do I do? [13:22] this entry is complete wrong [13:22] GarfIIeld: try System->Admin->Users [13:22] do so [13:23] paste the output of ifconfig [13:23] dr_willis & BobCFC thanks for the help. I think I just figured it out. I am betting it has something to do with me running a 64bit verion and this stupid executable is a 32bit [13:23] why does 'gedit &' work (ie forks a gedit) but 'sudo gedit &' doesnt? [13:23] how do I view how much memory each process is taking up? [13:23] Spudz: try gksudo [13:23] john_152: top [13:24] TheNo1Yeti, that CAN be an issue. :) [13:24] !locale [13:24] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [13:24] chaddy: thx [13:24] Yea I'm an idiot and forgot I was running 64bit [13:24] Spudz: sudo only really works on the command line, gksudo is for graphical apps [13:24] TheNo1Yeti: you can run 32bit exe but it might complain about libraries... [13:24] Spudz: you're welcome ;) [13:24] robert1, ? [13:24] !$LANG [13:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about lang [13:24] !LANG [13:24] BobCFC: What am I supposed to do in "System->Admin->Users"? [13:24] Yea. This particular binary won't run properly no matter what. I could get it started but it wouldn't work right after that [13:25] GarfIIeld: press unlock and use password, then manage groups button ,, click on www-blah group and choose propterties then tick the username to add to group [13:25] spudz: ? [13:25] john_152: the command you are looking for is top [13:26] <_moro_bana_> i have a dual boot installation of ubuntu and XP.my xp stopped booting,it just cuts the process during startup.a fresh install of ubunut behaves the same.trying the restore cd from windows-it fails.the only system thats working is the old gutsy im using now.help-could this be a hardware problem?advice? [13:26] john_152: you may find htop more usable [13:26] ah right, cheers! [13:26] ;) [13:26] GarfIIeld: i have a feeling if you add the current user you need to logout to take effect [13:26] how do I open Gparted? [13:26] taamodt, install it an either run it with 'sudo gparted' or look for the icon [13:26] Anyone know of a way to install the 32 bit glibc libraries in 64bit environment without overwriting the already installed 64 bit ones? [13:26] taamodt: System->Admin->Partition Editor, if not in menu you need to instal it [13:27] i am getting E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [13:27] i cannot do an update/upgrade now [13:27] AJuOnLiNE|sh, so run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' [13:27] BobCFC: so it might work when I come back after reboot? [13:27] TheNo1Yeti: that sounds like you want the 32bit lib compatibility package [13:27] TheNo1Yeti: I'll look out the name of it [13:27] GarfIIeld: just logout and login [13:27] dr_willis: that fails too [13:28] taamodt: if you need to install it type: sudo apt-get install gparted [13:28] Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [13:29] bye [13:29] I must create new account....i have insert name, password and profile Administrator e main group root....I have right? [13:29] Paolo88: no root is special don't add to that group [13:30] Paolo88: are you on the desktop? [13:30] yes [13:30] dr_willis: when i rebooted the gnome-power panel gave an error. and my gnome desktop looks weird now. cant run firefox either. [13:30] bobCFC: insert users group? [13:31] dr_willis: dpkg configure gives lots of dependency errors. [13:31] AJuOnLiNE|sh: dpkg-reconfigure is maybe what you want. [13:31] Paolo88: if you use System->Admin->Users you can press Adduser and choose role for user such as desktop/admin/no privilage... if they are in admin group they can use sudo like u, root group is special keep that seperate [13:32] AJuOnLiNE|sh: Also it would help if you specified which errors you got. [13:32] Ha! Got it [13:32] BlueEagle: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:252: process_queue: Assertion `!queuelen' failed. [13:32] is one [13:32] ia32-libs & libc-i386 took care of it [13:33] TheNo1Yeti: beat me to it, had an ebb of google fu [13:33] Prefix: & [13:33] AJuOnLiNE|sh: Well I would be more interested in the error thrown by gnome-power panel as it was the first. A failed assertion makes me first think of too little ram and/or swap. [13:33] BobCFC: thanks! [13:34] Paolo88: no problem, good luck [13:34] drwilis: I deleted two partitions from gparted, but the final one (the ext3 and main one) can not be deleted. When I try to unmount it I get the message: Could not unmount /dev/sda1, The partition could not be unmounted from the following mountpoints: [13:34] BlueEagle: this all is happening after a fresh install and apt-get upgrade ram is 2.5 Gig and swap is 2 Gb i suppose. [13:34] speak german??? [13:34] AJuOnLiNE|sh: not ibex, is it? [13:35] BlueEagle: dont know what that is [13:35] !de [13:35] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [13:35] BobCFC, got it working now, Thx again ;) [13:35] GarfIIeld: nice1 mate [13:36] AJuOnLiNE|sh: interpid ibex is ubuntu 8.10 which is still in development/beta. [13:36] BlueEagle: install problem. Configuration default for GNOME Power manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact admin. [13:37] BlueEagle: i am on 8.04/Hardy [13:37] when I set the umask in a terminal, will this apply to all processes (like word processing apps that save files) and other terminals owned by this user? [13:37] AJuOnLiNE|sh: Did the upgrade finish without errors? [13:37] AJuOnLiNE|sh: ie, did you retry to do apt-get update and apt-get upgrade? [13:38] xbxbxb: if you set the umask in an terminal, it will only be for processes in this terminal [13:38] hello all. I was trying to install Code::Blocks on Ubuntu 8.04. I read the manual and it says that it is not in the standard repository. In the installation manual it asks me to download the .deb package from the nightly builds. Unfortunately I only see Windows specific nightly builds and no deb packages. Can anyone help me with this? [13:39] BlueEagle: no. runnning the GUI version invokes something and I get that GNOME power manager error popping up in the corner. via command like apt-get update gives E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [13:39] hi [13:39] [13:39] hi people can someone please help me to install a wireless network card I have downoaded the drivers [13:39] AJuOnLiNE|sh: and that also throws errors? [13:39] ortsvorsteher: so when I enter it in a terminal, the terminal process (/bin/sh or whatever) calls the umask() function, which sets the umask only for this process, that is, in this case, the bash... is my understanding correct? [13:39] BlueEagle: yes. the dpkg confiure error. [13:39] Can someone confirm that iGoogle is all jacked now and tabs are on the left side of the screen? [13:40] xbxbxb: yes [13:40] ortsvorsteher: thanks [13:40] BlueEagle: dpkg was interrupted.

That package is a collection of tools for configuring madwifi modules [13:49] KaiZ51, those are just 'names' for how debian groups packages.. theres nothing that says a package in 'unstable' is really in any way 'not useable, or prone to crashes' - its just that its not as thouglhy tested as the older packages [13:49] it's normally not necessary [13:49] jrib: i don't know the group and profile [13:49] well its for my network card [13:49] wireless [13:49] well ok then, so they are safe to use and trust? === Guest58206 is now known as maek0 [13:50] Paolo88: what? just click "add user" [13:50] robert1, according to google you should restart after installing madwifi [13:50] Elmnas: are you following the help.ubuntu.com wiki? [13:50] !who | Elmnas [13:50] Elmnas: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:50] I don't must choose nothing for profile? [13:50] you hear me I do ./networking stop and it still has internet .. Any ideas? [13:50] jrib: I did but the same problem!! [13:50] ok [13:51] KaiZ51: Sure [13:51] ok then, thanks everyone, and bye! [13:51] Paolo88: choose the kind of user you want: Administrator or Desktop User (not admin) [13:51] ok [13:51] TheNo1Yeti, i try to setup a wireless connection on my laptop. the ath9k driver is correct installed, module is loaded, but connection doesn't work === dita_ is now known as natasya_ [13:51] jrib: I don't know what kind of user i must choose [13:51] OMLX: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of: apt-cache policy libcairo2-dev libcairo2 === matt__ is now known as m_ad [13:52] Paolo88: what kind of user do you want to create? Do you want him to be an admin and be able to change system settings? [13:53] jrib: yes...a normal user that by sudo can change the settings....I'm the only user for this pc [13:53] Paolo88: then choose "Administrator" [13:53] ok thanks jrib [13:53] robert1: are you not able to get any interfaces in wlanconfig or is it not finding any access points or ? [13:54] I've got a xubuntu-specific question about Thunar. Anyone ready to help? === natasya_ is now known as ditta_ [13:54] jojo_110110010: best to just ask the channel your question [13:55] How do I unlock a directory in Thunar so I can work with it as root [13:56] jojo_110110010, 'sudo thunar' [13:56] BlueEagle: the first error was with libpangotryin to fix that as per the prompts. [13:56] hey there guys, I have an image of a laptop's /dev/sda, how can I create an image of the laptop's /dev/sda1 from that? [13:56] jojo_110110010, be careful [13:56] jojo_110110010, gksudo thunar [13:56] jrib: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/59272/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/59274/ [13:56] thank you all :) [13:56] can someone help me i cant connect to amsn [13:57] TheNo1Yeti I can ping the address of my laptop which i try to setup for wireless connection but i can't ping the ap [13:57] hey guys how do i shutdown a programwith acommand? [13:57] orhan_, you using pidgin ? [13:57] BlueEagle: libpango i.e. did a defoma-reconfigure -f and now things are working. i suppose. [13:57] pidgin works but there is no cam [13:58] OMLX: you have version 1.6.0-0ubuntu2 of libcairo2 installed outside your repositories. Do you know anything about that? [13:58] how do i close a program with a command? [13:58] the gnome network-manager (the icon in the taskbar) says device is unmanaged [13:58] lamur: alt f4 [13:58] lamur, killall [13:58] lamur killall [13:58] :) [13:59] what can i do [13:59] I installed Xsensors through the add/remove... program of Hardy. I click on Xsensors in the systems tools menu and nothing happens. I'm interested in seeing the CPU temp of my P4 file server. Any ideas on how to make this work? [13:59] xkill is also fun [13:59] robert1: so I'm guessing then that you have already attempted to connect to your wireless network with iwconfig? [14:00] jrib: no .. last time I tryed to install gtk-dev but I faild becuse same problem [14:00] how do i uninstall the login screen? i want to just start my computer without it [14:00] hardcore, disable the gdm service [14:00] lamur, for a terminal application ctr -z , or top find process killall , else just open system moitor gui or last resort kill everything kill -9 -1 [14:00] dr_willis whats gdm service? [14:01] jrib: I have create a new account administrator but now if i write sudo apt-get .... ubuntu don't ask me the password [14:01] jrib: is there any way to correct this problem? [14:01] OMLX: I imagine you had hardy-updates enabled at some point and have now disabled them. Your easiest solution is to re-enable hardy-updates [14:01] hardcore: system -> administration -> login window and then find the automatic login box [14:01] TheNo1Yeti yes I did, but I tried so many different things now I can't remember what i exactly did [14:01] Anny ideas on how I can get Xsensors to work for my P4 system. I want to see the CPU type. I have Xsensors installed but it doesnt seem to do anything [14:01] robert1: can you run iwconfig by itself and pastebin it for me? [14:01] hardcore: you can set it to autologin. goto System->Admin->Login... on security tab tick Enable Auto Login [14:01] Hi [14:01] the output that is [14:01] I'm trying to install ubuntu from a usb-memory === TheTrash_afk is now known as TheTrash [14:01] This is what i have done: [14:01] cat boot.img > /dev/disk1 [14:02] orhan_, no sure if i can help , for video chat i use http://www.meebo.com/ [14:02] Paolo88: it caches the password for a while. Try running 'sudo -K' and then try 'sudo apt-get update' again. It should ask you for a password [14:02] hi all... [14:02] and copied kubuntu-8.10-beta-alternate-i386.iso to the resulting file system on the memory [14:02] I need help with USB device! [14:02] should that not be enough?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [14:02] hardcore, Ubuntu comes with rcconf and update-rc.d command.

[14:20] jrib: thank you very much. the problem fixed [14:20] BobCFC: What happened was exactly what I feared would happen - WinXP installer recognized the big partition as the C: one, and I have no idea what to do now. [14:20] mib_tvm1bc, its not officially released or supported here till the end of the month [14:21] oh ok [14:21] See the topic :) [14:21] _____ _ _ _ _ _ _____ _ _ [14:21] | | |___ ___ ___ _ _ | | | |___ ___| |_ ___ ___ _| | | _ | | | [14:21] | | .'| . | . | | | | | | | -_| -_| '_| -_| | . | | | | | [14:21] |__|__|__,| _| _|_ | |_____|___|___|_,_|___|_|_|___| |__|__|_|_| [14:21] |_| |_| |___| [14:21] drpp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[14:21] Thank you, drpp! :-D [14:21] Is there a way to switch those to? Ie. to change dev/sda2 to dev/sda1 and dev/sda1 to dev/sda2? [14:22] OMLX: no problem [14:22] bittyx: why does it matter? [14:22] bittyx, you made them out of order with the partitioning tools.. so it may be a bit hard. [14:22] bittyx, delete them both and remake them..but then youwill lose all data [14:22] jrib: Because I want to install Windows onto the smaller partition which is dev/sda2 at the moment - the big one is full of data I don't want to lose. [14:23] bittyx: XP always calls the first drive C: i don' get it [14:23] 这回是不是好了？ [14:23] bittyx: so? iirc the windows installer lets you choose the partition doesn't it? [14:23] hey it was just a HAPPY WEEKEND [14:23] Hey guys! I got a bit of a problem. I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a P5Q Deluxe motherboard(not on the actual board).

[14:24] bittyx: it gives you an option, says something like press C to create a new partition in the free space or press ENTER to use existing paartition.. [14:24] So basically, there is no way to exchange dev/sda1 and dev/sda2? [14:24] Chinese are so cool. [14:24] bittyx, not really. You made the partitions out of order.

[14:27] anyone sppek french ? === zhaozhou_ is now known as zhaozhou [14:27] speak [14:27] And i've tried two-three cds, and different versions [14:27] !fr [14:27] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [14:27] bittyx, ive learned to be very carefull when doing reparttioning. getting them out of order can confise wundows at times... [14:27] BobCFC: Okay, here is my HDD now. At the beginning there's dev/sda2 with around 30GB. Then some unallocated space (~20GB), and then at the end dev/sda1, which is full of data (~100GB). [14:27] txx [14:27] bittyx, you should be able to isntall xp to either one. [14:27] jrib: yes...now i'm root [14:27] eth: did you 'check the cd for defects' from the CD's boot menu? [14:27] !fr [14:27] Paolo88: use the copy of sudoers you showed me on pastebin [14:28] jrib: i have the copy of the file on a odt too [14:28] BobCFC: The WinXP installer lets me choose the partitions D: (30GB) and C: (100GB) and it could also let me create a new partition in the unused space. [14:28] Paolo88: odt probably messes up formatting, use the plain text copy on pastebin [14:28] jrib: i don't know create the file [14:28] BobCFC: But I want to install Win to C: which is supposed to be the smaller one (30GB). Can I do that now? [14:28] bittyx: what is the 30gb i thought u where going to have just freespace at the front? [14:28] jrib: Yea, I tried it once when the disc was brand new. No problemos, and once after i've tried to install it. Then I had one error. But i've tried different versions and maybe 3-4 cd/dvds [14:28] bittyx, i would delete the partitons you dont want. leaving unallocted space.. and let windows partiton.use that. It wont hurt windows to install to D: but ive seen some brain dead apps get confused if thers no C: [14:28] does anyone know where does xchat keep the favorite channels? [14:29] hi zi? [14:29] jim_p→ in the networks dialog. [14:29] eth: if you get errors on the "check CD for defects", you can't use the CD to install. Try burning at 2x speed [14:29] BobCFC: Yeah, I tried it like that first. It just showed the partition of 100GB, labeled as C: [14:29] BobCFC: I didn't want to create a new D: partition and install Win to D: - Win works best on C: [14:29] magnetron: thanks. the last place i would look [14:29] Paolo88: just use a text editor [14:29] does anyone know of a way do extract a partition image from a disk image? [14:30] jrib: Yea I get that. But I have like two other ones that doesnt have any defects. But still doesn't install. [14:30] eth: what two other ones? [14:30] bittyx: yes and a thing which says press C to create a new partition in the free space, XP is very simple it lables 1st partitoin 1st drive as C: alwasy if it can read it ie fat32/ntfs [14:30] jrib: CDs [14:30] eth: of the desktop cd? [14:30] jrib: Livecd [14:30] n3hima: with what app was the image of the disk made? [14:30] eth: what version of ubuntu? [14:30] jim_p, dd [14:31] BobCFC: Nope, I tried that too, it labels the new partition D:, and the big one at the end stays C: [14:31] jrib: I've tried 8.04 LTS x64 and 8.10 beta x64 [14:31] jrib: just a moment i must do it by live cd [14:31] eth: k, they're just called desktop CDs. Did you try the alternate cd to see if was any better? [14:31] n3hima: then sorry, i dont know. [14:31] Paolo88: why? You said you were root [14:31] jrib [14:31] bittyx: even after install? [14:32] looks like the extra eye candy and some of the start up apps are the culprit === sale_ is now known as ghostnick === ghostnick is now known as sale_ [14:32] jrib: That's the only thing I haven't done yet. [14:32] but the system seems fine otherwise, so I'm not going to stress over it [14:32] :jrib: yes...but he sayd me that I don't have the permess [14:32] jrib: I guess i'll give it a try [14:32] hi all [14:32] Paolo88: ok [14:33] BobCFC: I didn't try to install it, but my experience with Windows shows that you can not change the partition windows is installed to, after the installation. [14:33] i am looking for a good audio editing program, any suggestions? [14:33] how can I change some specific settings for each screensaver? (I am on Ubuntu) [14:33] leave [14:33] hi, i would like to kill my xserver from my other console ctrl+alt+f1 to save battery and work in console. but it always starts again on its own [14:33] can i work around this? === sale is now known as Guest61047 [14:34] BadElvis: how are you killing it? [14:34] mitchell: except audacity which is a classic one, have a look at mhwaveedit [14:34] bittyx: i think it is just calling it that in the install stage if you have freespace at the front and a drive at the end, during installer create partion in freespace pressing C, after install 1st will be C: 2nd D: [14:34] BadElvis, stop the GDM service === sale_ is now known as sale [14:34] jrib: i look at the process list and kill something related to x by process id === ashish is now known as Guest59581 [14:34] BadElvis, http://cviorel.easyblog.ro/2008/07/02/enabledisable-gdm-in-ubuntu/ [14:35] BadElvis: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [14:35] jrib: ok, will x start again when i reboot? [14:35] BadElvis: yes [14:35] i only want this to be a temporary change [14:35] ok then [14:35] bittyx: vista is different but XP is notoriously simple in that way 1st drife it can read calls C:, because it causes problems if you delete a partition and it calls the next one C: like an idiot [14:35] file extension ".cc" is it C or C++? [14:36] sachael: usually c++ [14:36] ok ill try [14:36] BobCFC: I don't really think it'll work that way :( [14:36] can i ask a hardware question? [14:36] BobCFC: Well anyway, the bottom line is - I cannot exchange dev/sda1 and dev/sda2 in GParted? Cause that would make my life much much easier... [14:36] I had XP install to a g: drive once.. it decided my usb media reader.. needed a letter for each slot. [14:37] jim_p: if it's not related to ubuntu, you should ask ##hardware [14:37] what do you thing of this as an everyday linux laptop http://www.e-shop.gr/show_per.phtml?id=PER.900390 [14:37] how to block a specific website [14:37] jrib: because of the specifications, i wonder if it can handle ubuntu [14:37] bittyx, if the stuff in fromt of partiton 1 is 'empty; you can resize 1 to fill up the hd.. then 'shrink' it from the rear. [14:37] bittyx: imagine this, you install xp to D: and later delete 1st partition, xp stupidly calls next one c: and you programs all break, I had that problem years ago [14:37] has anyone else been having lots of freezes since installing 2.6.24-21? [14:37] bittyx, then make a new partition at thje back that would be #2 === nick_ is now known as nich^ [14:37] Guest59581: add it in /etc/hosts [14:38] * jim_p feels stupid. all laptop specifications are in greek [14:38] how do I make my network device's mac change automatically? [14:39] euzao, why do you need the mac to change? [14:39] dr_willis, my providor only accepts two macs [14:39] I have three pcs in the house [14:39] so I need to change the mac [14:39] BobCFC: I've got no idea what you did back then, but my WinXP doesn't do that. [14:39] I am in some serious trouble... [14:39] I know how to change it by hand, but I want it automatic [14:39] euzao, my router lets me enter a mac.. or my isp has a 'setup' web site where it allows it to get the mac of a new pc. [14:39] I updated some stuff, and installed some stuff [14:39] euzao: ifconfig hw
[14:40] euzao→ use macchanger-gtk or the best solution would be to get a NAT firewall/router [14:40] and now no window has a border or a titlebar [14:40] d [14:40] JetSilver, I do have that, I just want that on boot? [14:40] forget the "?" [14:40] alt-tab doesn't work! [14:40] euzao→ macchanger-gtk is the easy to use software for that. [14:41] euzao: only when you want to change the mac. But two devices on your lan with the same mac could be bad [14:41] euzao→ remember, you need to disconnect the other computer before you steal its MAC [14:41] euzao→ a NAT router would let you have all three computers connected at once [14:41] please help me! [14:42] You are not running a window manager! [14:42] ?! [14:42] Reenen: Does ALT+F2 give you a run-dialog? [14:42] no [14:42] alt-tab doesn't do anything [14:42] !doesn't work | Reenen [14:42] Reenen: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [14:43] alt-f2 is not the same as alt-tab. [14:43] alt-F2 does nothing [14:43] sorry, I am panicking a bit here [14:43] dr_willis: I may be thinking of KDE. What's the hot-key to start a run-dialog in gnome? [14:43] reenen:you might have to re-install [14:43] magnetron, but I don't have it [14:43] euzao→ you don't have what? [14:43] reinstall what? [14:43] BlueEagle, al-f2 also [14:43] forget it [14:44] just want to change the mac at book [14:44] boot [14:44] Reenen: Do you have any panels or a terminal window? [14:44] I have a terminal window, but I can get focus on it [14:44] Reenen, if you can get to a terminal you just need to run the 'metacity --replace' command [14:44] Reenen, many irc clients lets you run commands also from them - with the /exec command [14:45] /exec metacity --replace [14:45] nope [14:45] I am using GAIM [14:45] and somehow it keeps focus [14:45] Reenen, no idea on that.. i doubt if that client supportes it. [14:45] HEllo [14:45] this is why i normally install/run thta 'fusion-icon' tool [14:45] I want to change some settings for my selected (and every) screensaver but ubuntu doen't show me any related button. How should I configure it? [14:46] for some reason when I run nvidia-settings and try to save the configuration file for dual screens it crashes. Any ideas as to why? [14:46] is there no an option do disable bluletooth before ubuntu boots ? [14:46] NicEXE: have you looked in gconf-editor?? [14:46] Reenen: did you try to move your mouse over to the other window and clicking it? [14:46] ok... I'm restarting X server (ctrl backspace right?) [14:46] i don't know why my command find / -name "*z*">f2 don't works... i've permission denied but i do that find / -name "*z" that's rights.....do you have any subjection? [14:47] hey guys, i need help [14:47] cs_student, you are running it as root? [14:47] hi folks. i have a q. was thinking of buying of buying an asus eee 1000 today. I was wondering if there are any hardware issues I might have, installing (x)ubuntu. another question, that arises for me is, how I can install, as i have no external cd-drive... only have a 1gb stick.... [14:47] i cant disable the bluetooth module [14:47] in the install cd [14:47] but i cant install [14:47] since it just hangs [14:47] mib_tvm1bc: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:47] doesnt recognize the bluetooth model or soemthing [14:47] ciacon, you may want to get a 2+gb thumb drive.. You can set up bootable/install systems on them. [14:47] I'm using gksu nvidia-settings to run it. [14:47] i dont even possess a bluetooth module you know [14:47] ciacon: you can run xubuntu there. for the installetion look at !installation [14:48] !installation [14:48] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [14:48] hmm... well I had a shell, but gaim have preference.. [14:48] mib_tvm1bc: Are you on a laptop? Have you checked in the bios if it lists bluetooth under integrated peripherals and if it's possible to disable it there? [14:48] FD [14:48] BlueEagle: yes i am. i have no bluetooth in there [14:49] i will try that in the bios BlueEagle, but if it fails, what could i do? [14:49] omg [14:49] mib_tvm1bc: Well if it fails then the bluetooth module shouldn't try to load at all and thus it shouldn't hang. [14:49] mib_tvm1bc: How did you come to the conclusion that it was the bluetooth module that is hanging the system? [14:49] jrib: that seems to work, got through the 'search device' thing [14:49] !video making [14:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about video making [14:49] dr_willis, it crashes if I run it with sudo or gksu [14:49] !movie maker [14:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about movie maker [14:49] Hmm [14:50] cs_student, bummer... [14:50] hi all i have tried audacity and it does what i like but it is so fugly. Any other audio editors that are not an eyesore? [14:50] BlueEagle: since it says STARTING BLUETOOTH or something and then it hangs [14:50] mib_tvm1bc, it could be its hanging at whatevers right after that... [14:50] BlueEagle: before there were other things that got completet with an [OK] [14:50] Grey_Loki: try kino or kdenlive [14:50] and jokosher doesnt wana work with mp3s [14:50] dr_willis: what could i do [14:51] no [OK] for bluetooth, hence i reasoned it must be bluetooth [14:51] Anybody know if there's an Amazon kindle file format reader for Linux? [14:51] mib_tvm1bc, you could remove the various bluetooth services I guess. ive never heard of a module/loading hanging when there was no device... [14:51] mib_tvm1bc: How long did you wait for it before deducing that it hung? You may also want to try disabling your wireless network card and hook up with a wired connection during the install. [14:51] metacity was not installed [14:51] BobCFC, thanks :) [14:51] mib_tvm1bc: This is not supposed to cause the error, but I cannot rule it out either. [14:51] ?? [14:51] BlueEagle: about 15minutes [14:51] I have isntalled it, and it said something about deferring something [14:51] mib_tvm1bc: Well it should have timed out by then. [14:51] ok will try to disable wireless then too [14:52] mib_tvm1bc: Best of luck. [14:52] BlueEagle: ok maybe it was only 3 minutes [14:52] or 5 [14:52] whats the timeout? [14:52] mib_tvm1bc: It should time out at approx 45 seconds and then fail graceously. [14:52] isnt kino for movies? [14:52] mib_tvm1bc: Never had the problem so it's hard for me to say. [14:52] no it was derfinitely more time i waited BlueEagle [14:52] dammmn [14:52] hate it [14:52] seems like only mmy machine is concerned [14:52] !language [14:52] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:53] dr_willis, maybe I can just change the file permisions on xorg.conf [14:53] I forget were it is and the command however (havn't used linux in a while) [14:53] /etc/bin/x11/xorg.conf? [14:53] <[amadeus]> BadElvis: That's fine. Now enjoy your wireless freedom ... :-) [14:54] s = "" [14:54] while True: [14:54] s += 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' [14:54] ok, installing metacity (and restarting X) worked [14:54] thanks [14:54] guess what that does [14:54] now to check if all the organs are still here [14:54] :-) [14:54] cs_student: changing the permissions will most likely not help as it is writable when running an application with gksu. [14:54] jrib: i must go out....thank for the help! [14:55] TimStarling: It hangs your machine. Now be gone. [14:55] it kills every process on the server [14:55] sshd, klogd, everything [14:55] is that meant to happen? [14:55] TimStarling: that is how DenialOfService attacks work [14:56] TimStarling: If you run it as root then yes. If you run it as a user in a properly configured system then it's not supposed to happen. [14:56] Can I use a Rock Band PlayStation guitar in Ubuntu? [14:57] no, not as root, and this is just plain ubuntu [14:57] I have a question, what is the different between Ubuntu and Debian ?? (Ubuntu has a Debian kernel or not ???) [14:57] http://ganglia.wikimedia.org/pmtpa/?r=hour&c=Apaches+8+CPU&h=srv160.pmtpa.wmnet [14:58] is wlan propperly working on the eee 1000? [14:58] TimStarling: In an out-of-the-box ubuntu it would most likely crash everything. However if you set up memory limits on the users it should not. [14:58] right... [14:58] i had a problem [14:58] LetsGo67: As far as I knwo the RB guitar is just a few buttons connected to a port. However I don't think there's a driver written for it. [14:58] Whats a good program for putting themes on your desktop? [14:58] Zeldor: ubuntu is released every 6months so better for desktop users, debian is every few years so you have to wait [14:59] i have installed ubuntu in secondary partition [14:59] BobCFC: thx [14:59] !enter [14:59] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:59] then for some reason i installed windows [14:59] in primary partition [14:59] Where could i find acer-acpi and acerwifipackages? [14:59] !enter | Suv123 [14:59] Suv123: please see above [14:59] Zeldor: people who run servers like to stay the same for years and be safe, desktop users like the latest software [14:59] has anyone got jokosher to work with mp3s [15:00] so now i dont have choice screen for ubuntu [15:00] BlueEagle, is there a way to make it work? [15:00] so is there any way to install grub [15:00] Zeldor: also Ubuntu has a big community to help beginners in the forums etc [15:00] BobCFC, it's more about every year (every other ubuntu release) and it depends on what branch you have. If you have stable, you won't have any buggy software. However, if you choice to go to testing you essentially have the next release of ubuntu. [15:00] so that i could recover the system without reinstalling it [15:00] so that i could recover the system without reinstalling it [15:00] Suv123: Please pay attention to what ubottu tells you. Do NOT use ENTER as punctuation. [15:01] Can anybody help me please using AcidRip? I have ripped a DVD to mpg format, but it's not working properly. I must have the settings wrong?? Help please??? Thks [15:01] It's a USB guitar... [15:01] LetsGo67: I'm not familiar with the guitar in question. Which port does it connect to? [15:01] cs_student: yes they have improved, but before ubuntu the default debian desktop was plain gnome and required a lot of setup to be usable [15:01] anyone here who can help me with my webcam? [15:01] The wireless adapter hooks up to USB directly. [15:02] hp ?? [15:03] BobCFC, before ubuntu that could be said about linux in general [15:03] Still ubuntu is based off of debian [15:04] BobCFC: thank you it was very helpfull [15:05] Any avid use of AcidRip can help me with a problem I am having??? [15:05] LetsGo67: When you plug it in does lsusb list any device that is likely to be the guitar? [15:05] BlueEagle: do you just mean ulimit? [15:06] I heard somewhere that there was some new capability in linux added recently for per-user memory accounting [15:06] im setting up make.conf, and howto suggests changing cflags like to my cpu type, which is currently set to i686.

What makes you think that port 9999 is the issue, instead of something simple like a dying NIC? First rule of solving these problems is to verify the physical layer of your network.

[16:12] Does anybody happen to know if the Jetway NC81-LF motherboard is compatible with Ubuntu before I go and spend a couple hundred dollars on one? [16:12] hello i have ubuntu feisty fawn and pc with xp and a printer installed on it, the ubuntu is connected to the xp via samba and everything is ok [16:12] I do have wine installed... will try the windows util.... thanks! [16:13] np [16:13] dave_: you could also try ffmpeg, though it might be a bit overkill [16:13] but when i try to print from ubuntu in the windows spooler there is remote downlevel document [16:13] and it doesn't print anything [16:13] yeah that is a good one too [16:13] lOL [16:13] does anyone has an idea [16:13] i have plenty! :D [16:13] jamesish: how could I check the dying NIC. feels safer to close the dangerous port.

New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [16:15] lyk3n: read the error message again. The firewall didn't initialise because the network interface wasn't working correctly. Not because of a weird port. It's possible you got a weird port error because of a dying nic. [16:15] dave_: then it should tell you the needed codec, [16:16] ah! that might explain it ;P thanks Ubottu! [16:16] Ohoy. Arch Linux user here, about to change to Ubuntu Linux next week, so trying out Ubuntu a little this weekend. First question: How come NetBeans isn't found in the Add/Remove section? I managed to add it using apt-get, but find it strange it wasn't listed in the Add/Remove GUI. [16:16] I didnt see any indication of that.. is it in the initial error msg or do I have to look in a logfile? [16:16] jamesish: thanks, the ethernet was loose so the computer automatically set to wireless. I guess i got scared because I couldn't find the port to close in the etc/services file [16:16] dave_: try running it from the command line, mplayer /path/to/file.avi [16:17] mr_lou: to remove applications, head to system->admin->synaptic [16:17] and paste the output [16:17] mr_lou: packages are only shown in add/remove if they're tagged as GUI packages. perhaps that tag is missing for netbeans. also, did you make sure you had "all packages" (not just supported packages) selected in add/remove? [16:17] later guys [16:17] ok... trying now [16:17] mr_lou: I think Add/Remove only lists the most popular apps [16:17] !pastebin | dave_ [16:17] dave_: 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) [16:17] hmuller: no, that's not what it does [16:17] lyk3n: "The device eth0 is not ready.Please check your network device settings and make sure Internet connection is active" Seems reasonably clear; if you're able to access the box, try a traceroute google.com, also check the errors in dmesg and in /var/log/messages to see how the device is behaving. [16:17] LjL: Yes, I had marked ThirdParti apps also. [16:18] LjL: So it must be the GUI thingy you say. [16:18] LjL: I just thought all apps you could install with apt-get was also listed in the Add/Remove. So first lesson learned now. Thanks. [16:18] mr_lou: well, let me check on my system (although i have KDE, but the apps in add/remove should be the same), if i can confirm that, you should file a bug [16:18] mr_lou: no, but all apps you can install apt-get are listed in Synaptic [16:18] jamesish: ok, would you recommend a packet sniffer or network analyzer, just in case [16:19] LjL: This is v7.10 though. Going to install 8.04 next week on a new computer. [16:19] anyone know how to install wine to PPC? [16:19] lyk3n: wireshark? [16:19] mr_lou: netbeans is listed in my add/remove, so yes it might be a solved bug [16:19] ok.. have run mplayer and one of the avis.. its in the paste buffer under dave_ [16:19] goat|lappy: thanks, I'll try that [16:20] LjL: Oki. :-) [16:20] dave_: please give the url of the paste [16:20] jamesish: the output is only ***, I don't remember that [16:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/59319/ [16:20] LjL: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11936/ [16:20] LjL: Thanks [16:21] dave_: you need the w32codecs [16:21] Hymn: I thought I'd installed ALL of the codecs offered in the repos.. apparently I missed at least one..

[16:22] you'l have to use medibuntu or something [16:22] LjL: Care to provide a link to differing information, just because you 'say' it is so, also does not mean it is [16:22] dave_: or I can send you the DLL, hold on a sec [16:23] If they're not in the repos, I guess I didnt install them... [16:23] they are not in the default ones [16:23] see the links ubottu gave you === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire [16:24] lyk3n: your call, dude. Easiest way to monitor traffic on a linux box is with tcpdump. But until you know the NIC is working, I don't see where you're going with this. If you check your logs, you can start seeing what the issue is. You can also look at the output of something like netstat with a few flags on there, and check out lsof. [16:24] does KDE4 really use less memory than Gnome? [16:24] !medibuntu | dave_ [16:24] dave_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [16:25] you should find the codecs you need there [16:25] As soon as I can decode these avis, I'm gonna convert them to something else.. I'm getting clips for a movie project from friends who are on windows... [16:25] ok.. checking medibuntu... ty! [16:26] just checking if Irssi works... [16:26] aah great [16:26] Hello all. I'd like to know what the "ideal" temperature for my CPU is. Thanks. [16:26] I just installed lm-sensors and it reads 126 F. [16:26] thomasite: the lower, the better [16:26] and lm-sensors is not always accurate [16:26] My USB Modem, when I plug it in, goes yellow for a while, then green. Green = ready. How to detect from Ubuntu when it's ready? [16:26] HymnToLife: Lower than what? [16:27] thomasite: whats the celcius temp? [16:27] What do you suggest, then? [16:27] hallo [16:27] I think above 60 degress is a concern for a CPU [16:27] The celsius is around 50-55 [16:27] thats fine [16:27] hmuller: of course. Add/Remove gets its data from the package "app-install-data", whose documentation you can read at /usr/share/doc/app-install-data/README [16:27] is this place for ubuntu user..? [16:27] It doesnt spit anything to dmesg after the initial 'usb thang detected' message. [16:27] tower or laptop thomasite [16:27] yes around 50-55 is fine [16:27] I'm using a laptop. It's an Acer Aspire 5570ANWXCi. [16:27] thomasite: its very good then [16:28] aren't power management services (like acpid and apmd) only useful for portable devices? [16:28] With an Intel Core Solo Processor T1350 (1.86GHz, 533 MHz FSB) and 1.5Gigs RAM [16:28] Hi guys, you'll have to forgive me for very bad description to follow. I need someone to remind me what it is I need to change to stop errors about networking connections beingspammed on the command line when I do a fresh install of Debian. It seems to happen every time and I always have to ask my friend how to stop it. However, he's not about, so "HEELP!" === martin___ is now known as Clockswork [16:28] uh, actually, it's not errors, it's connection nfo I think [16:28] *info [16:28] So it's just all right? Thanks. I'd been thinking 50-55 Celsius is harmful already. [16:28] thomasite: laptop temps above 75C may be a concern, and probly needs better cooling... [16:29] Aside from lm-sensors, what other software that measures CPU temperature can you recommend? [16:29] speedfan [16:29] thanks, goat|lappy. [16:29] uh [16:29] thomasite: there is none [16:29] what amI on about, ignore me [16:29] speedfan is another software that measures cpu temperature? [16:29] though if you have a Core, lm-sensors should be accurate, they have a builtin sensor that is well supported [16:29] (about the fans, that is. PLEASE answer my firstquestion though ;) [16:29] HymnToLife: so I guess I have to be contented with lm-sensors. [16:30] Any ideas for being able to move files from an Ubuntu laptop to a Windows desktop via a wireless network? [16:30] hello everyone, please, how can I mount (at boot) the partition at "/dev/sda6" with rw permissions to my standard user? I've tried some tweaking in "/etc/fstab" but I can't get the permissions [16:30] thomasite: does the output of lm-sensors mention "coretemp" ? [16:30] How can I make a shortcut to a WINE dos console (usually if i type wine cmd.exe in a terminal i get a dos console running in wine and i use that for starting windows programs with arguments, but i tried to make a shortcut using that command and it always errors) [16:30] !samba | Kumo [16:30] Kumo: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[16:31] thomasite: could you pastebin it? [16:31] There's an "acpi" on the sensors tab, though. [16:31] anyone able to advise on my question? [16:31] aren't power management services (like acpid and apmd) only useful for portable devices?

[16:32] o.O [16:32] for reducind electric consumption, temperature and fan noise [16:32] that's not rude is it? [16:32] that's said on daytime tv over here [16:32] thomasite: what does "apt-cache policy lm-sensors | grep Installed" say? [16:33] hi [16:33] ComradeHaz: well, this is not tv [16:33] Wait. What I did to install lm-sensors was type "sudo apt-get install sensors-applet" NOT "sudo apt-get install sensors" as suggested by the message. [16:33] how can i access the trash by console? [16:33] :D [16:33] thomasite: then sudo apt-get install lm-sensors [16:33] LjL: It says Installed: none. [16:34] thomasite: then you did not install lm-sensors [16:34] What's the lm-sensors-applet then? [16:34] I'm so confused. [16:34] what is the commando to see my trash folder? [16:34] it is most likely using some other way of determining the temperature [16:34] !info sensors-applet | thomasite [16:34] thomasite: sensors-applet (source: sensors-applet): Display readings from hardware sensors in your Gnome panel.

[16:35] in the temrinal [16:35] thomasite: "sensors", just as you were trying to do earlier [16:35] thomasite: you might need to configure your sensors first, though [16:35] oh yeah [16:35] i'm running a ubuntu on vista-vmware. my connection is VPN, now i gather ubuntu doesn't come with VPN support [16:35] you need to load the driver for your sensor [16:36] sudo modprobe coretemp [16:36] is this true? [16:36] After typing in "sensors": No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are. [16:36] thomasite: so do that [16:36] what are my options in getting this ubuntu on internet? [16:36] So i typed sensors-detect [16:36] no need, you have a coretemp [16:36] freebsd_fan: depends which vpn, you can run cisco's vpn on linux, for instance [16:36] Guys, I used to download a file in Windows.

[16:48] LjL: Add/Remove is gnome-app-install. gnome-app-install depends on .desktop files.

Welcome! [16:48] thomasite: you should trust the coretemp one, it uses the sensor that ir built into the CPU, not the ACPI thermal zone [16:49] Oh, I see. How then do I uninstall the applet? [16:49] sudo apt-get remove packagename [16:50] can someone help me with setting up my sound card? i have a Creative SB Live PCI card and i can't get it to work at all.

Would i have the 2.6.26 in 8.04? === Craihhgney is now known as Moth_on_loves_br [16:53] hmuller: that's probably because you have some unofficial third-party repository enabled. type "apt-cache policy googleearth" to find out. [16:53] LjL: Suggest you read through the help in Add/Remove [16:54] LjL: that's where it identifies itself as gnome-app-install [16:54] tj13820: i dont know if its in hardy, i use gentoo xD === Moth_on_loves_br is now known as MothOnLovesLight [16:54] hmuller: i'd rather not install GNOME to read through it, i'd be more grateful if you could point me to a web version of it, or quote the relevant parts [16:54] tj13820: try modprobing the driver first [16:54] Raylz: well then... i just did [16:54] tj13820: sudo modprobe snd-emu10k1 [16:54] hmuller: of course, if you're on GNOME, it's gnome-app-install, that's obvious. it's adept_installer if you're on KDE [16:54] Raylz: it returned no errors.

(100 mbit server) [16:57] wasn't gonna ask for support, I don't have it, just gonna ask if its a big improvement [16:57] hmuller: the package description for adept-installer (which, if you may believe me on this, *is* equivalent to gnome-app-install in a KDE environment) says it nicely: "Adept Installer presents a list of applications available through the [16:57] Advanced Package Tool (APT). An application is considered a package that contains a .desktop file for use with KDE, GNOME or other desktop environment." [16:57] Raylz: sorry, i've missed your post.

[17:02] if i install ubuntu as a program of sorts using wubi, are there any limitations on what i can do with the os? [17:02] as opposed to messing with partitions [17:02] tgraupmann: alt-arrow doesn't switch desktops; control-alt-arrow does. So it shouldn't interfere with your game, right? [17:02] Ah it's staring at me, keyboard shortcuts under system->preferences [17:03] i only have 640x480 @ 50hz as highest .... [17:03] yes it interferes with the game, so I'm turning off the shortcut [17:03] can someone help me please ? [17:03] birdwin: never used wubi.idk [17:03] tgraupmann: ok so you found out how?

[17:58] Amber-Neko: you just plug it in, the kernel usually handles it [17:59] it is plugged in, sg3 has been created.. but nothing else happens [17:59] So, how would I manage to convert the 2 hex to the one ASCII? [17:59] sg3 cant be mounted [17:59] when i shutdown my system i get a bug-report "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s! [ndis_wq:5947]" and so it won't shutdown [18:00] OddlotX4: what are the hex characters [18:00] Redink: do you have ndiswrapper? [18:00] yes [18:00] d684acc9e73be1e22ad5ba96e8 [18:00] I have greatly enjoyed getting rid of ndiswrapper. [18:00] since its eeebuntu i'm guessing that certain drivers/kernel modules are needed to get an external DVD to work.. does anyone know which ones are needed? [18:01] Hey I'm guessing Ubuntu doesn't use /etc/rc,sysinit. What exactly does ubuntu use so I'd be able to edit boot scripts? [18:01] i would like to automatically connect to unencrypted, open wifi networks and get them in a usable state (IP set, for starters) as fast as possible, in order to allow for "handover-like" user experience. how could i go about it? is there some program that's specifically intended to do that? [18:01] Redink: thats prolly whats causing this prob; i had the process taking 99% cpu [18:01] hcrah: /etc/rc.#. If it's user based, System | Preferences | Sessions. [18:01] i have some vcd content i want to burn to a dvd player as is, no conversion. The trick that works on most players is leave the video as is but upsample the audio from 44.1 to 48 [18:01] Alright thanks man. [18:01] outbackwifi: so what can i do about it? [18:01] is there easy tools for this or a good guide? [18:02] Redink: what is the card? [18:02] Redink: What are you using ndiswrapper for and what version of Ubuntu are you on?

[19:49] Clockswork, ok, that should be acoustic mode :) [19:49] Clockswork, check hdparm, it should be lowered singnificantly [19:49] Hilikus: it's bad in that ntfs doesn't respect unix permissions, so that would only work in a limited way [19:49] Hilikus: it would be better to use a different mount point to share an ntfs partition [19:49] What do I need to play rm* files using Totem? It searches for codec and find nothing every time. [19:50] dulak true that, i will then use separate mount points [19:50] Supersaiyan_IV: just run hdparm in a terminal? [19:50] OsamaK: use xine [19:50] my dvd just took long to burn how do i chek if dma is enabled... also the computer is acting really slow for loading things [19:50] OsamaK: gxine package [19:50] Can anyone help me mount this drive? [19:50] anyone else experiencing crackling sound in zsnes just now in hardy? [19:51] i think this came after a recent kernel update [19:51] TuniX12: gxine lets Totem works with rm*? [19:51] OsamaK: no gxine is an independent player but you can use xine engine for totem as alternative [19:51] Supersaiyan_IV: Ot hdparm -? [19:52] TuniX12: Totem is more than enough for me, especially with Arabic subtitles. [19:52] Supersaiyan_IV: A heard a click.... weird.. [19:52] but it will remove gstreamer backend === Riovan1 is now known as Riovane1 [19:52] TuniX12: Is this bad? [19:52] Clockswork, i dont remember the cmd to check the parm [19:52] OsamaK: well i dont think so [19:52] Clockswork, hdparm -something :L [19:53] Hi. I'm new to ubunu, but I smell win in this system :) [19:53] how to use 'xine engine for totem as alternative'? TuniX12 [19:53] Supersaiyan_IV: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep Load_Cycle_Count [19:53] Clockswork, to fix the clocking completely though, see if you find some articles about chenging mount parameters in fstab [19:53] Clockswork: hdparm -I [19:54] Seeking help with a moderatly complex cut and paste issue, Anyone want to hear about it?

[19:55] Is routes config a ruby on rails file? [19:55] slack adsl router? [19:55] Clockswork, it's normal, the journaling system commits every 5seconds [19:55] Clockswork, try searching for mounting options in fstab in ubuntuforums [19:55] Clockswork, those will delay that commit === dudema1 is now known as Riovane [19:56] ok [19:56] Supersaiyan_IV: aah ok [19:56] TuniX12: I just know its dsl [19:56] interesting [19:56] my load_cycle_count is now 18808..

[19:57] OsamaK: and all your installed plugins [19:58] OsamaK: try gxine instead [19:58] cause i want to craete bookmarks in FF and if i do it with the LAN ip it wont work from the outside and viceversa [19:58] Hilikus: I would recommend using dyndns.org [19:58] Supersaiyan_IV: But just so I understand 100%, the clicking is normal? People just find it annoying, or does it actually wear out my HDD so It will die out on me some day? [19:58] Kraven thats what i use, the problem is i cant use the external IP to connect to the server from within the same LAN [19:58] TuniX12: Installed, it did not ask me for that! === socketbind is now known as szalonna [19:59] Hilikus, why not?

[20:00] Supersaiyan_IV: Mine updates the load_cycle_count every 40 seconds [20:01] Supersaiyan_IV: that's not true, the click is the heads being parked, that is unnecessary wear and tear [20:01] Kraven yes! if im on the outside and use THAT SAME address it works, its only when i use that address from within the same LAN as the server [20:01] !wifi [20:01] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:01] TuniX12, not sure -- i'll look up [20:01] usser my server is accesible from the outside just fine [20:01] bonhoffer: have you tried the two ubuntu derivates aimed at the eeepc?

[20:03] thomc have you tried system monitor? [20:03] TuniX12, o.k. i'll try -- it uses the desktop remix if that matters [20:03] i need to find where in ubuntu i can tell my pc to power down the HDD after its not seeking for 5 or 10 mins... where can i set that [20:04] I have a moderate problem with cut and paste, I think there is a Ubuntu dependency/packaging issue. I am running guest Ubuntu 8.041 in vmware player with Vista host. Yesterday cut and paste worked and today it does not. I am using lightning(calendar) inside of Thunderbird. Lightning worked fine for my other linux. I fixed that problem by using synaptic package manager to install libstdc++5.... [20:04] ...After that my calendar worked but cut and paste stopped working. [20:04] Supersaiyan_IV: Anyway man! Thanks for your help! :D you've been so nice [20:04] usser you might be right, i just tried ssh to my server using the external IP from with the network and it doesnt work either [20:05] its like my router is blocking access to local ips through external ips [20:05] Hilikus, yeah i heard of that, some routers dont allow that kind of loopback [20:06] Hilikus, no it doesnt forward properly when requests originates from local network [20:06] What do the "boot" and "lvm" flags mean on a drive that is installed on a computer? [20:07] Clockswork, no problem ;) get hands on some fstab optimizing guides to get rid of that clocking, and I think I'll have to do the same xD [20:07] usser that actually took a whole damn day of my life when i set my apache server, tested it using the local ip and worked and didnt using the external ip so i thought something was blocking outisde traffic, then one day i just went and tried it from the outside and it just worked [20:07] hi hope someone can help. I was resizing a partition when my computer locked up. now I can't access the partition and it shows unknown filetype in gparted [20:07] TuniX12: totem-xine does not show any subtitles, but it works with rm*. gxine has encoding problem with Arabic subtitles.

I can't even get mine to mount :( [20:07] so it looks like my wireless roaming mode is enabled -- how do i see if the Atheros wireless 802.11b/g/n mini PCI-Express card is enabled (or driver's installed) [20:08] Hilikus, hehe :P\ [20:08] then i just thought that was normal behaviour, until i got my laptop and started thinking how to bookmark my web server === stchris is now known as kasplantje [20:08] <_phoenix_> how can i switch the fucking sudo off and make a normal su administration of the root account === stchris is now known as kasplantje [20:08] Aeoni1, it would be no big deal but I didn't back it up...i preach backup to everyone and then didn't do it myself [20:09] I'm trying to recover with fsck but I don't know how to or if that's the best way to recover the partition [20:09] Crap ryan8403! I have nothign to back up. Just installed Ubuntu last night. [20:09] <_phoenix_> how can i switch the fucking sudo off and make a normal su administration of the root account [20:09] OsamaK: i think with windows binaries [20:09] hey [20:09] _phoenix_, Please watch your language in this channel, thank you. [20:09] TuniX12, the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessNetworking just seems to say how to get your home network set up -- not how to troubleshoot [20:09] there is a gstreamer plugin to handles windows codecs [20:09] APACHE PROBLEM: seems as though i can ONLY access index.html in apache...i try tanner.dyndns.org/apache_pb22.gif to pull up a gif thast in the same dir as the index file but it says Not Found...any ideas? [20:10] TuniX12: win32codec? [20:10] tanner13 is the file accessible by the apache process? [20:10] OsamaK: i think gst-pitfdll plugin [20:10] _phoenix_: you can sudo su - and login to the root account [20:10] Hilikus: im not sure what you mean [20:10] TuniX12, i just checked my ethernet works fine -- but not wireless === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [20:11] tanner13 does the user running apache have permission to read the file?

[20:11] Hilikus: I think so. i mean the files im talki9ng about are the ones that are inslatted with apache..the default files in the htdocs directory [20:11] tanner13 is your file in var/www or what? [20:12] Hello everyone, I have a pretty big problem. I have no idead how, but for some reason a truecrypt volume file I had got deleted. It is in the ubuntu (8.04) trash and if i mount the file from there all the files that are int the volume are fine. However, i copied the file form the trash to another folder, and when I mounted the copy, all the files were missing. What can I do to recover the file from the trash can or copy it without losing the data. PS: I only [20:12] have room in the root partition so i need tu use sudo i guess, or how can i chmod a folder in root / so i can drag and drop it? Thanks [20:12] Same problem, TuniX12 "The required software to play this file is not installed." [20:12] Supersaiyan_IV: Hahaa :P well the ugly fix is working for me right now when my computer is sitting on my table (cranking it up to 254) [20:12] Hilikus: usr/local/apache2/htdocs [20:12] finally i got my livecd working [20:13] anyone around that has configured the Samsung SCX-4100 as scanner in Intrepid? [20:13] cnem: you can make a new directory, say /stuff: sudo mkdir /stuff [20:13] tanner13 thats not where the index file is [20:13] cnem: then make it writable by all: sudo chmod 777 /stuff [20:13] Supersaiyan_IV: That makes the HDD to not go up or down so it doesnt scrath itself :) [20:13] Hilikus thats where i see it [20:13] _phoenix_, what is the problem with sudo? [20:13] anyone have any idea how to get rid of the dvd-desktop shortcut that appears when you insert a disc? or any removable media shortcuts for that matter? [20:13] cnem: then you can copy your files out of the encrypted volume into /stuff [20:13] tanner13 ls /var/www [20:13] other than removing the disk :P [20:13] Supersaiyan_IV: Sure you have seen this but just incase http://jesperdj.pbwiki.com/Ubuntu-on-the-Dell-XPS-M1530 [20:13] Just out of curiousity, I wanted to know which desktop wireless cards have worked for any of you right during install? [20:13] OsamaK: your problem is the arabic subtitle only? [20:14] Hilikus: DUH and thans [20:14] thansk i mean [20:14] tanner13 np [20:14] dulak thanks a lot, I already made a dir with sudo mkdir and copied the file from trash in the terminal, now i am going to try and chmod it and drag and drop instead [20:14] TuniX12: No, I cannot play rm files, Arabic subtitles is working very well with totem in AVI files for example.. [20:15] OsamaK: gxine can play rm files [20:15] OsamaK, rm files is real media.. you need to install realplauer [20:15] Can anybody please suggest the best format to record a DVD film in so it can be read in most DVD players without complications?? [20:15] DavidCanarias mpeg2? [20:15] Does some use already the new beta of ubuntu?

Do you happen to know if I can use AcidRip to convert it? [20:15] ok thanks, [20:16] hey guys, about my message earlier? now not even GNOME will start up, not even in failsafe mode. anybody here have any idea what could break all my GTK apps all at once? [20:16] DavidCanarias no, no idea, i jsut burn stuff from my mythtv box using that format, which is the actual format or real DVDs [20:16] afallenhope: TuniX12: I want to play them in totem, it is my favorite player.. RealPlayer does not show subtitles, gXine has encoding problem. Totem is my need :) [20:16] of real* === danielvoicu is now known as tibellus [20:17] DavidCanarias, just create a dvd disk out of film [20:17] fsufitch: type date and see what you get [20:17] Hilikus: I have the facility to copy any DVD and it uses an iso format!!!!!! [20:17] how can i uninstall the ubuntu-mobile package? [20:17] DavidCanarias most dvd players should be able to read .avi as well [20:17] usser: How do I do that? [20:17] OsamaK, get the codecs then? [20:17] so how do i see available wireless networks in ubuntu [20:17] DavidCanarias well iso is just probably the container of the actual mpeg stream [20:17] blahblahx: sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-mobile [20:17] Hi ! Are there any other MSN clients for Ubuntu that support webcam ? [20:17] <_phoenix_> but i wanna switch sudo off [20:17] Except aMSN [20:17] DavidCanarias, what are trying to accompish? copy dvd disks? [20:17] Hilikus: AcidRip only states avi or mpg no mention of mpeg2???? [20:17] BCM34: Sat Oct 18 15:17:31 EDT 2008 [20:18] BCM34: but its a metapackage so it doesnt remove its contents [20:18] fsufitch: ok, that is not the problem [20:18] usser: Basically yes!!!! [20:18] afallenhope: I hope so, which codecs? [20:18] blahblahx: does purge work? [20:18] BCM34: let me try [20:18] Clockswork, will check my value, installing smartmodtools [20:18] DavidCanarias probably if you have an iso to burn, just burn the dvd as an imagge and you'll probably get what you want [20:18] fsufitch: fun startx --verbose [20:18] _phoenix_: you want to turn sudo off completely or just for some users? [20:18] Clockswork, smartmontools* [20:18] OsamaK: wincodecs [20:18] DavidCanarias just make sure you dont burn it as a file, but as an image [20:19] DavidCanarias, so if the original disk was a dvd then make iso file out of it and just burn it. If the original disk was readable your copy will be readable [20:19] _phoenix_: only users in the admin group have sudo access, so if you don't add a new user to admin, they won't have sudo access [20:19] Hilikus: Using the copy to disc clicking on the DVD it automatically makes it an iso [20:19] BCM34: ok [20:19] <_phoenix_> but i dont wanna sudo [20:19] DavidCanarias thats perfect, now just burn that image into a new blank dvd [20:19] <_phoenix_> i wanna switch it off [20:19] usser: You are right, but for some reason now when I just copy it isn't reading on my DVD player and I don't know why as it was working. [20:19] fsufitch: if you see anyting important, tell me, if not, I need to find a command to send it to pastebin [20:19] TuniX12: win32codecs? [20:19] BCM34: no [20:19] _phoenix_: again, remove the user you don't want to have sudo access from the admin group, do not turn sudo off completely [20:19] is there a way to see all available wireless networks [20:19] OsamaK: yes [20:20] Hilikus: Appreciate your time, will try and see if I can do it as an image [20:20] BCM34: how do i shut down the current X? This one won't start because i already got one running on :0 [20:20] OsamaK: the subtitls is embedded or external? [20:20] fsufitch: I think stopx [20:20] <_phoenix_> i wanna that everyone who wanna have rood acces type "su" and the root password [20:20] Clockswork, that start/stop count is inhumanly huge [20:20] TuniX12: external. [20:20] <_phoenix_> got it? [20:20] DavidCanarias make sure that your dvd player can read burn dvds and that you are using the right dvd type [20:20] Clockswork, like 20,000 [20:20] DavidCanarias, that shouldnt happen as iso is an exact copy of the disk [20:21] _phoenix_: that's bad, real bad [20:21] OsamaK: what extension? [20:21] <_phoenix_> like in debian [20:21] hey guys [20:21] BCM34: no such command [20:21] i hv question [20:21] TuniX12: srt [20:21] How come when I enter text in a text field in Firefox everything is underlined red (misspelled)? It doesn't do this on my XP machine. [20:21] _phoenix_: you can have the same exact functionality by adding the user to admin group and then having them use sudo su - [20:21] usser it could happen if it burns it into a DVD+R and his player can only read DVD-R [20:21] I just updated my kernel (and some other components) and my ability to open X programs from a remote console no longer works. I used to be able to just do export DISPLAY=:0 and run whatever program, but it does not work now. Has something changed regarding doing this? [20:21] Supersaiyan_IV: Still..I dont want my baby to ge thurt hahah :P [20:21] DavidCanarias, about formats that are most widely used, dvd-r's are standard. so you [20:22] Supersaiyan_IV: *hurt [20:22] usser: I am mystified as it is what is happening. Maybe it's corrupted [20:22] <_phoenix_> BUT I DONT WANT SUDO [20:22] <_phoenix_> I HATE SUDO [20:22] _phoenix_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:22] <_phoenix_> NO SUDO!!!!!!!!!!! [20:22] _phoenix_: yer kind of stupid [20:22] Hilikus, yep i forgot about that [20:22] Does anyone know if it is possible to skin ubuntu like windows ? [20:22] <_phoenix_> fuck you [20:22] sYskk, yea sure google is full of links [20:22] Clockswork, im going to try it out, got my baby 1week ago :P [20:22] fsufitch: hmm... l one sec [20:22] !language _phoenix_ [20:22] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:22] i use ubuntu 7.10 on a laptop w/nvidia graphic 6000 model, i enabled restricted driver and it's ok, but when i enable 3d features, i works but i lose the windows border [20:22] so it could be that his copy is perfect but his dvd player just cant read it [20:23] OsamaK: Have a look at the srt file. If the first number you see is 0, change it to 1 and it will probably work [20:23] can i have apple laptop like multi touch support on my laptop touchpad in linux? the laptop is an acer one with synaptics touchpad.

No problems with the -RW or +RW. All of a sudden it's not working. I tried my other DVD player and exactly the same.

[20:26] Clockswork, there shouldnt be any need for the ugly fix [20:26] omid8bimo, what version of ubuntu [20:26] OsamaK: ok i think you have windows encodage [20:26] 7.10 [20:26] you should upgrade to 8.04 then [20:26] lots of bug fixes [20:26] Supersaiyan_IV: Yeah maybe, I'll try and set it to performance next time I reboot and see if the clicking stops [20:27] Shakedown cause you make a typing error maybe? [20:27] Hilikus: usser: Do you know if using a rewritable DVD I should reformat before burning to delete everything first? [20:27] so it couldbe a bug? [20:27] OsamaK: try to change it to uft8 [20:27] Shakedown: probably need to install some dictionaries in firefox - they come as .xpi files, so you can just install them from mozilla's pages [20:27] i'm actually waiting for 8.10 [20:27] DavidCanarias ive never used DVDRW [20:27] fsufitch: hmm... just go to ctrl + alt + F3 [20:27] Well inorder to upgrade to 8.10 you have to upgrade to 8.04 first [20:27] Supersaiyan_IV: Btw dont think gkrellm works for 1530, my fans still starts at 55 degrees [20:27] Hilikus: As I said it did work so it's mistifying me a bit [20:27] Hilikus: ... good answer dude [20:28] DavidCanarias, yes with rw's you have to reformat [20:28] Supersaiyan_IV: I think I'll have to settle for it [20:28] hey, trying to fix compiz on hardy, it worked after install and works from live cd, but after upgrading some packages, including kernel modules to v2.6.24-19, it stopped working. I removed all compiz-related packages and then reinstalled, but it never worked again. After running compiz --replace i get "xgl: not found", although i have reinstalled xgl-xserver and it seems to work, but running xglinfo says 'direct rendering' is not active. What [20:28] next? [20:28] OsamaK: ok search for recode package in synaptic [20:28] BCM34: i'm currently using the tty1 and tty2 to run lynx and irrsi - it's how i'm talking to you... anyway, i'm in tty3 now [20:28] Supersaiyan_IV: its not like its gonna stay at 55 as soon as it gets there it drops to 40 [20:28] Hilikus: usser: Thks for your concer and help. I will come back to you later to let you know how I got on if you are around OK? Thks again [20:28] xhmin: rerun envy? [20:28] Shakedown well i dont know you so i have to assume you are a moron [20:28] oh [20:28] DavidCanarias, sure [20:28] ok [20:28] what is envy? [20:28] DavidCanarias np [20:28] thanks trapline [20:28] no problem [20:29] xhmin: the application that installs the ATI/NVidia drivers [20:29] xhmin: envy is a program that will install 3d drivers for you [20:29] joran: Dictionaries? Hmm...how come I have to do that? I didn't have to do that for any other Firefox I installed on my other machines. [20:29] Clockswork, yeah, myself im just waiting for dell to respond, their i8k utilities are old [20:29] fsufitch: install pastebinit [20:29] 2dulak: sudo apt-get install envy does not seem to work.. [20:30] Shakedown: not sure, perhaps localisation settings are slightly different on the machine you're on. [20:30] BCM34: k [20:30] Supersaiyan_IV: Yeah, hopefully a solution will come in a new version of i8k or some new bios [20:30] ssh'ing to a remote machine using Terminal takes about 20 seconds to get to the login prompt, while using PuTTY on same system it's near instantaneous... how can I make the login from Terminal quicker? -- (or diagnose)? [20:30] BCM34: done. what now? [20:30] Supersaiyan_IV: Btw, did u upgrade your bios in Ubuntu? [20:30] xhmin: try envyng-gtk [20:30] startx --verbose > pastebinit try that I'm not sure if it will work [20:30] Clockswork, i got the laptop with A12, havent tried the dell flahs utils for linux [20:30] xhmin: sudo apt-get install envyng-core envyng-gtk [20:31] Supersaiyan_IV: Allright [20:31] Clockswork, the sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda command indeed stops the head from parting on the harddrive [20:31] dulak: that seems to work.. ) [20:31] Clockswork, although, when youre on the move, running on battery, or on the train [20:31] fsufitch: sorry: startx --verbose | pastebinit [20:31] BCM34: it's |, not >, and it didn't work. pastebinit wants some arguments [20:31] Clockswork, you might want the head to be off the harddrive as much as possible [20:31] Hello everyone,I have been using ubuntu-hardy 64-bit version on my amd machine for the last 6 months.Suddenly, I cant start anymore because my home folder and parts of the kernel are all deleted and I can see those contents in lost+found :( my home folder has been replaced by an xml file.Is there a way to recover the files from lost_found ? the mailing lists dont seem to help :( [20:31] xhmin: you'll get a new app in your applications menu under system tools [20:32] BCM34: heh, pastebin basically wants to know where to pastebin it to <_< [20:32] Supersaiyan_IV: sry didnt quite catch that last part [20:32] fsufitch: try -f in there [20:32] dulak: i'm on intel, and envy is only from ATI and NVIDIA, would that work? === Ajzimmerman is now known as Ajzimm3rman [20:32] If I wanted to stream HDTV to my computer how would I do it? [20:32] Supersaiyan_IV: Do you mean I should run my HDD in a 128 mode? [20:32] xhmin: nope, if your video isn't ati or nvidia envy won't do anything for you [20:32] BCM34: ok [20:33] is there some sort of hdtv capture card? [20:33] dulak: i.e. my graphics chip is 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller [20:33] xhmin: yeah envy won't help you [20:33] BCM34: the pipe isn't working. pastebinit isn't getting any file data [20:33] xhmin, intel cards are fully supported by opensource driver out-of-the-box [20:33] Clockswork, when the head is never going off the harddrive, a bump on the train might scratch it, so only use 254 when having it at home/on the table, and 128 when on the move [20:33] hello? [20:33] BCM34: i think it's because the pipe is not writing to stdout (whcih can be piped) but to stderr [20:33] pyro: there's a couple, but they are seriously expensive unless you are talking DVB [20:34] Supersaiyan_IV: Ah yeah! Absolutely! :D [20:34] fsufitch: I have not used this in a while, you know how to fix it? [20:34] dulak: yes, i know, it works from the live cd, but not after i upgraded, something is broken, but i cannot figure out where.. [20:34] Does anyone know if it's possible to set up multiple usb remotes on the same ubuntu machine. I"m really just interested in the ir blaster that comes with the remote. [20:34] joran: i have no idea what that means, I just want to learn how to turn my computer into a tivo like device so I figured the place to start is figure out how to stream a hdtv signal to it [20:34] BCM34: i was never able to pipe stuff from stderr to another command. it's just weird... [20:35] Supersaiyan_IV: Thats why I wont change the Bios settings from quiet to performance. Coz if I do that I might forget to turn it back when I'll go out or something [20:35] I can see that the remote is being detected in lsusb, but I'm having trouble getting the mceusb2 driver to detect both [20:35] Supersaiyan_IV: Better safe than sry :) [20:35] joran: DVB i'm assuming is the 5-6 pin coax connection right? [20:35] pyro: you need a hd tuner card, DVB-S2 for satellite [20:35] Clockswork, indeed :) [20:35] Supersaiyan_IV: Anyways I'm going out with some friends now, its been good talking to you. Hopefully I'll see you later here :) [20:36] joran: it's verizon fios so just a regular HD tuner card? [20:36] pyro, you'll never get one that's dvi or hdmi in, without spending thousands of £/$ [20:36] Supersaiyan_IV: Thanks a million for all your patience :) [20:36] Java's not working in Konqueror. any ideas ? [20:36] fsufitch: pipe the results into a file [20:36] joran: really? why not? [20:36] BCM34: ok [20:36] pyro: too much data for pci to handle [20:36] joran: hmm [20:36] google the sudo string for it [20:36] joran: surely not pci-x though [20:36] Clockswork, hehe np ;) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=847773&highlight=m1330+battery <- a script similar to this should make all that automatic [20:37] dulak: does compiz necessarily need xglserver in order to work? [20:37] So does ubuntu detect wireless networks? I had no success just now [20:37] eydaimon: some work, some don't [20:37] im on wifi [20:37] pyro: seriously expensive... you want to get the MPEG stream not the raw hd stream [20:37] fsufitch: tell me when you do that [20:37] BCM34: what does it depend on? [20:38] eydaimon: what wireless card you have === slink is now known as slink_ [20:38] got it [20:38] belkin [20:38] g [20:38] eydaimon: you know which one you have? [20:38] joran: wait you're talking about on the fly compression now arn't you? why can't I stream it raw then compress? [20:38] joran: like http://www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-Design-Intensity-Editing-Express/dp/B001CN9GEA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1224358651&sr=8-1 [20:38] going to check [20:38] BCM34: using ">" doesn't work >_< all that happens is the data is still printed out to the terminal, and the file stays empty. i ran "xstart --verbose > err.txt" [20:38] joran: would I be able to capture a raw stream with that then compress l8r? [20:38] BCM34: it's a dell laptop [20:38] pyro: raw hd stream cards need so much horsepower to just compress it into a data stream that's usable, it's not consumer-priced [20:38] joran: or am I going about this the wrong way [20:38] i have a 4.2GB ISO that i want to boot from, but no dvd burner, is it possible to install the ISO from a partition on boot? [20:38] will see [20:39] hmm [20:39] fsufitch: try without the .txt [20:39] eydaimon: do you have a wired connection?

[22:18] .Trash folder is no longer used . it's located now instead in the /home/user/.local/share/Trash folder [22:18] uhhhhhh [22:18] hello all [22:18] hello all 2 u 2 [22:19] Flare183, well, to be honest, i don't see a lot of Ubuntu support-specific talk in here, a lot of random chatter. you could go crazy trying to right it. take a look at the video (since i already posted the link), you might get a laugh from it, if you like parody. [22:19] hi Icarus! [22:19] Jowi: then I think you should check with the mplayer support mailing list [22:19] Icarus, hi [22:19] what the hell is going on here??? [22:19] hi there [22:19] Helminthe, i did. they recommended an up-to-date version :) [22:19] does anybody know hyow to install software on my ubuntu ? [22:19] WHERE DO YOU BUY UBUNTU [22:20] like wat type of software [22:20] IS IT CHEAPER THAN VISTA [22:20] acarsd [22:20] is there going to be anything new on the horizon as far as gaming and Linux goes? [22:20] animewizard: No. Very, very expensive. [22:20] testing [22:20] tinman08, was that for me? [22:20] is it worth paying for [22:20] animewizard: yes [22:20] i have only heard bad things about vista [22:21] no [22:21] yup [22:21] animewizard: yes, but you can get it for free - ubuntu.com [22:21] a friend told me about ubuntu and that it is better === Kristie is now known as KristieTS [22:21] is there a professional version [22:21] animewizard: ubuntu is available for free online @ ubuntu.com [22:21] Ubuntu works fine:) [22:21] very very good [22:21] Jowi: then try what they say, i.e. svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer && ./configure --prefix=~/mplayertest && make &&make install [22:21] but [22:21] is there a professional version of ubuntu for email [22:21] how do you download adobe flash player for ubuntu? [22:21] animewizard: it doesn't have a cut-down version like windows does [22:21] go to the webste [22:22] maybe somebody can tell me how to install software like acarsd or other prog [22:22] animewizard: it's the full thing (i.e. pro) always. === Jesus is now known as Eisbar === Eisbar is now known as Life [22:22] animewizard: No, not "professional" per se. There are various versions of it available, all of which you can find descriptions of @ ubuntu.com [22:22] ????? dell printer help [22:23] tinman08: sorry, what model? [22:23] animewizard: You might find this helpful. http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/philosophy It explains why Ubuntu is completely free. :) [22:23] okay [22:23] tinman08: throw it away almost certainly! dell printers are always difficult. [22:23] is there a cd i can buy instead of downloading it [22:23] animewizard: they will send you one [22:23] !cd | animewizard [22:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about cd [22:23] animewizard: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/purchase [22:23] and bash/sh/dash experts here?is there any reason why dash doesn't understand IFS=' \t\n' properly? [22:24] I have the cd here [22:24] Printer 922 [22:24] I downloaded it [22:24] bye! [22:24] Jowi: if that version works, you can submit a request for it to be update in medibuntu too. if not, then the problem is in the xv driver which is a bit more painful to fix [22:24] Oh, there's a command. haha, I'll have to remember that BCM34. :) [22:24] i kno that [22:24] thank you [22:24] god bless [22:24] mccain '08 === Life is now known as Jesus === maco_ is now known as maco [22:25] Helminthe, yeah i will see which package the bug belongs to and file a bug-report for it. [22:26] why is there one machine that I try to connect to that constantly asks me to confirm authenticity? it doesn't seem to update known-hosts. [22:26] ? [22:26] May I ask a Question? [22:26] ...or even known_hosts! [22:27] importdezign: dont ask to ask a question, lol [22:27] importdezign: just go ahead and ask [22:27] wats the question [22:27] anyone know if galaxium is worth trying? [22:27] * Netizen-online laughing [22:27] Hi all, I have 2 ubuntu PCs on a network at home. Can anyone give me a link how to be able to see what my 5 year old daughter is seeing on her pc? Taking control of the PC is not so necessary but interesting if I can set it up without her knowing. [22:27] hello [22:28] Hi all! How can I show the 'time' in terminal? Google just gave me nothing... :P [22:28] ukubuntu: don't trust your five year old? ;) [22:28] i have a HP Laptop that gives me an option to press F-11 to restore Windows. Is this F-11 option stored in the MBR or somewhere else? [22:28] put the pc in a public place. [22:28] ukubuntu, you can use the remote desktop viewer to spy [22:28] Ok I installed my ati driver, ATI 3800 HD, everthing worked fine I had the effects settings up, then I went to resctricted drivers and clicked the run box i think it was and restarted my computer and now I have a white screen. [22:28] Ean: date [22:28] @Ean: uptime should tell you what time it is. [22:29] I have already caught her watching questionable youtube vids [22:29] oh, that too... *adds to his bag of tricks* [22:29] ukubuntu: wow, a 5 year old! nice. [22:29] ukubuntu, that's really disturbing, if you had a teenager watching stuff that would be one thing, i'd keep the kid off the net if she were 5 and into bad stuff [22:29] I can't instal Flash10 on Ubuntu 8.04 64bit, where to get deb packet nspluginwrapper 1.1.2 ? [22:29] joran, Thanks, I must sleep - why didn't I test that?! [22:29] mongolai: is there a link to info? [22:30] cookieofdoom, Thanks, ush 13h uptime. better go to sleep and take a walk tomorrow O.o' [22:30] Ean: *chuckle* no problem, sometimes wood for trees... [22:30] BCM34: 5 and autistic [22:30] ukubuntu, not better to teach her by having the pc local than to 'catch her out'? [22:30] joran, ;) [22:30] ukubuntu: are you trying to spy on your wife? ;) [22:30] BCM34: She could surf some sites at 2.5 years! [22:30] Anyone? [22:31] importdezign: what was your question? [22:31] Ok I installed my ati driver, ATI 3800 HD, everthing worked fine I had the effects settings up, then I went to resctricted drivers and clicked the run box i think it was and restarted my computer and now I have a white screen. [22:31] If my wife ever got to the pc, she gets me to type in :) [22:31] ukubuntu, google "ubuntu remote desktop". a lot of info. what version of ubuntu are you using on these computers [22:31] ukubuntu: I would go for squid and logging or possibly apache as proxy [22:31] Thanks mongolai [22:31] your wife is playing stupid lol [22:31] or perhaps dansguardian, if you want the equivalent of netnanny [22:32] cookieofdoom, Btw, when I wrote uptime I saw that I had 2 users, 2 with the same name. I sthat normal? [22:32] hehe, I trust her more than myself :D [22:32] importdezign: when do you get the screen? [22:32] any idea how i get back to seeing my screen? [22:32] o [22:32] right after i log in [22:33] hi all. how can I change the list of daemons starting at boot time? [22:33] importdezign: try booting into fail-safe gnome [22:33] joran: thx for that I already editted etc/hosts, but had to make it so some youtube vids played [22:33] @Ean: I see that, too. I honestly don't know why that's there. One might be the root login for GDM? [22:33] how? [22:33] what is the command for installing a tar.gz program? [22:33] sudo apt-get install? [22:33] BE n00b [22:34] cookieofdoom, Ok, might be. Just got curious. :P Anyway, thanks again. [22:34] teckan: go to system --> pref --> sessions [22:34] ferretonthelus: you have to unzip and untar it first, then you can install it [22:34] ferretonthelus: is a compressed archive like a .zip file. [22:34] ok, i am a nube to this..... [22:34] BCM34, xmonad here. console based instructions, please :) [22:34] mongolai: I am on 8.04 on both and will upgrade when beta is frozen# [22:34] teckan: that's not services anyway [22:34] ferretonthelus: try: tar xf filename.tar.gz [22:34] how do i get to fail safe [22:34] teckan: oh... no idea than [22:34] Bwhahahhahaha [22:34] Tachán [22:34] Leimer: please stop [22:35] ferretonthelus: then something like cd filename (or whatever, a new directory should have been created) [22:35] ok. i will try that.....thanks. [22:35] teckan: I don't know of a gui, basically they're all in /etc/init.d/, that might give you enough info to start looking [22:35] hey guys, is there a program like quicken for ubuntu available ? anyone experience with it ? [22:36] ferret_: he can just right click it and unzip or whatever [22:36] how do i log into fail safe gnome? [22:36] oh, wait., then goto the new directory....and what?... [22:36] ukubuntu, then remote desktop is super easy. on the target machine, go to System>Preferences>Remote Desktop, configure that then connect from the other machine using Apps>Internet>Remote Desktop Viewer [22:36] ferretonthelus: there may be a readme file there. [22:36] joran, i don't want a gui. [22:36] ferretonthelus: then read whats in the README file there [22:36] teckan: I mean TUI [22:36] i want to stop some daemons that I do not need at all. [22:36] ok.....thanks.... [22:37] (ah, right) [22:37] teckan : apt-get remove them [22:37] or am i thanking a bot? [22:37] hitman1985: try KMyMoney [22:37] hitman1985: there is an online version of quicken that does runs out of your browser, I believe. [22:37] there should be something like /etc/rc.conf [22:37] no you dont ferretonthelus.D [22:37] how do i open a .bundle file?? [22:37] ferretonthelus: ubottu is the only bot [22:37] its a program package of some sort and i dont know how to run it [22:37] can I remove a user from the user_switcher list? [22:38] ok. 8>) [22:38] Thax mongolai I am guessing I can set it as a permanent ability to peek in ID will look it up and thx again [22:38] scientus_: are you tring to install from source? [22:38] BCM34: ok lemme check into that lil quick ;) [22:38] teckan: ls -l /etc/rc5.d [22:38] teckan: I would just remove them on ubuntu, on rh I would have used the chklevel or whatever it was called, been a long time since I've done anything service-based, and never on ubuntu [22:38] no BCM34 [22:38] Anyone know if can I remove a user from the user_switcher list? [22:38] cookieofdoom: i thought more of a standalone, i dont like quicken in particular just need some easy way to manage some money spreadsheets :) [22:38] Hi, Who was telling me that vbox does not work with the server edition of ubuntu? It does.. you have to enable PAE [22:38] its a binary BCM34 [22:39] is there a way to get VirutalboxOS to streach the os to fill the screen? [22:39] scientus_: and it will not run? [22:39] chkconfig was rh [22:39] no [22:39] Autistics are clever! I expect she will be teaching me son enough! :) [22:39] anyone..? [22:39] ukubuntu, Yea, I think that once it's set it persists on subsequent reboots. Using this you can see exactly what the 5 yo sees on her screen [22:39] :( [22:39] !patience | amorphous_ [22:39] amorphous_: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [22:39] Thx all [22:39] scientus_: what happens if you try to run it? [22:40] Lovin the beta already :) [22:40] unable to execute: text file busy [22:40] Chris_Foster: "host key"+L. you need to install vbox additions in the guest [22:41] for those who have the same problem that I had, the solution is sysv-rc-conf. [22:41] is there a repo with more current kernels for hardy anywhere? [22:41] BCM34, unable to execute: text file busy [22:41] scientus_: try running from the command prompt [22:41] i did, and from root [22:41] Does anyone know how to install a .tar.gz? [22:41] Reaverbot: what are you trying to install exactly? [22:41] Reaverbot, a tar.gz isn't an installation file, it's a zip file [22:41] you unzip it [22:42] !tar.gx | Reaverbot [22:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about tar.gx [22:42] MrWizeGuy1983: no, it isn't [22:42] soundray: yes it is [22:42] !tar.gz [22:42] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [22:42] Anybody running intrepid on a machine(notebook) with nVidia? [22:42] ok soundray whatever you say man, ubottu and i were wrong [22:42] teckan: isn't that a graphical application? [22:42] I trying to install a game, I tried with some commands in the terminal, but it says "directory don´t found". [22:42] kjetil1001: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid (see the /topic) [22:42] MrWizeGuy1983: you were wrong, ubottu wasn't [22:42] Reaverbot: what are you trying to install ***exactly***? [22:43] Reaverbot, what command did you issue? [22:43] cd "prog" [22:43] Or [22:43] teckan: damn, I knew that, I just didn't remember! sorry. [22:43] want to learn about linux, Ubuntu specifically, looking for a site that offers a complete learning experience [22:43] MrWizeGuy1983: tar.gz is a different filetype from zip. You can't unzip a tar.gz with softwware that's written for .zip files [22:43] Don´t remember the other one. [22:43] exodus_MS: help.ubuntu.com and the links in !cli [22:43] !cli > exodus_MS [22:43] exodus_MS, please see my private message [22:43] !cli [22:43] 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 [22:44] Reaverbot, you need to unzip and untar the file first. [22:44] soundray, you're sounding like a freakin 5 year old, zip is a common place term for an archived and/or compressed file, anyone knows that, it's not just a file type [22:44] How I do that mongolai [22:45] exodus_MS: http://safari.oreilly.com/0132435942 [22:45] MrWizeGuy1983: calm down [22:45] MrWizeGuy1983: it is important to be precise when using terms. It is wrong to use zip for any archive format that isn't zip. It is that kind of thing that confuses people no end. [22:45] Reaverbot, if you're in a terminal session, the command is: tar xzvf (filename).tar.gz [22:45] it's always wrong to use zip when you can use 7z. that is the point ;) [22:46] MrWizeGuy1983: also, be careful with personal attacks -- this channel is rather less tolerant than others (because it has so many beginner users) [22:46] soho i think i might just agree with you, 7zip is quite useful === proptcp is now known as porptcp [22:46] jrib, Helminthe, thanks [22:47] Yes, I do that, but after... what i do? [22:47] Reaverbot, alternatively, you can double click the file in gnome and hit the Extract button [22:47] Reaverbot: what game are you installing exactly? (for the third time) === porptcp is now known as porp [22:47] How do i get into gnome? [22:47] importdezign: have you installed Ubuntu? [22:47] yes [22:47] importdezign: do you have a graphical interface running [22:48] whats that? [22:48] jrib: red alert [22:48] importdezign: please use the nick of the person you are responding to [22:48] importdezign: can you see a window and other things other than text [22:48] Yes, I extracted, but is a .exe file. [22:48] !wine | Reaverbot [22:48] Reaverbot: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [22:48] Reaverbot, you can use wine [22:48] (I extracted it). [22:48] -yes i have the desktop version [22:49] Reaverbot, what game is it? [22:49] Reaverbot: isn't that a windows game? [22:49] importdezign: are you logged in? [22:49] There is a linux version of it. Is the old command and conquer red alert version. [22:49] i still cant sucessfully plug in my sony dsc-w5 digital camera..any help? i tried google but i havent found any guidance there [22:49] So, I use wine? [22:49] is there anyway to force close an app? mplayer crashed and i dont see it in ps aux. [22:49] -when i try to log in it goes to a white screen after loggin in. Im on my windows HD [22:49] importdezign, just type the name of who you wish to respond to and press the tab key [22:49] but the window is still there [22:49] yes Reaverbot you have to use wine to run windows programs [22:50] importdezign: try doing ctrl + alt + F3 [22:50] centro, there is a great force quit app you can place on your gnome toolbar, it looks like a broken window [22:50] centr0: clicking on the X in the titlebar didn't help? [22:50] Reaverbot: for this particular game, check http://freera.sourceforge.net/ [22:50] importdezign, BCM34: sounds like a compiz issue, I'm outta here, but that's a hint for you guys :-) [22:50] importdezign, i think you might have to try safe mode ubuntu and see if that loads [22:50] BCM34 - where does that get me? [22:50] Ok, thanks, I have a tutorial of using wine. [22:50] importdezign: text based [22:50] MrWizeGuy1983 - I have tryed safe mode [22:50] Reaverbot: for other windows applications, codeweavers.com might help [22:50] importdezign: login there [22:50] angusthefuzz: where would this app be located? [22:50] does safe mode do the same thing exactly importdezign ? [22:51] Thanks. [22:51] Reaverbot: check appdb.winehq.org for wine instructions for the game [22:51] centr0: right click on a blank spot on the panels around the desktop, its an app in the add to panel menu [22:51] MrWizeGuy1983 - wait how do i get to safe mode lol, i think i tryed the fail safe option when i pressed esc at start of boot [22:51] centr0: its called force quit [22:52] BCM34 - i will try that as well [22:52] f [22:52] angusthefuzz: thanks found it :) [22:52] importdezign, when you have the option to go to windows or ubuntu it should have other options, one of them should be safe mode or something similar to that [22:52] beautiful. [22:52] guys - I am having problems configuring sound capture using pulse audio - can anyone help? [22:52] centr0: glad that helped [22:52] but importdezign has it ever worked? [22:52] MrWizeGuy1983 - Sorry I have 2 harddrives one is windows and one is linux, one plugged in at a time for the moment [22:53] did it ever work importdezign ? [22:53] willwh: what are you trying to do exactly [22:53] MrWizeGuy1983 - yes, i installed my gfx driver via the auto program [22:53] set the options to full and then went to the restricted drivers and clicked the "run" box restarted and white screen [22:54] importdezign, you need to get to the non-gui mode, i don't recall how to do that, and you'll need to fix your graphics drivers [22:54] my sound just crapped out after trying to run mplayer.. hmm [22:54] BCM34: record with my mic plugged in to the front mic port on my case [22:54] anyone recall what keys you hit to go to terminal mode? [22:54] f7 [22:54] BCM34: mind if I pm you? [22:54] or f1? [22:55] ctrl+alt+F1 through F4 by default [22:55] ah, and F5 and F6 too [22:55] importdezign: Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or any other F key up to F6) [22:55] ok onece there how do i fix graphic card [22:55] willwh: no [22:55] importdezign: did you install NVidia or ATI? [22:55] importdezign: you installed the ati driver and now you have a white screen after logging in? [22:55] soundray - ati [22:56] Firebirdy - i installed it worked fine [22:56] hey [22:56] importdezign, it was envyng you ran right? [22:56] then i went poking around in the restricted drivers area and clicked the "run" box retsrated and white screen [22:56] my wireless adapter stopped working after I upgraded to intrepid [22:56] MrWizeGuy1983 - yes [22:57] getting "rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware." errors when trying to bring the interface up [22:57] is this a known problem? [22:57] i just need to reset my gfx driver back to normal lol [22:57] Plagman: intrepid issues are discussed in #ubuntu-devel [22:57] alright [22:57] thanks [22:57] importdezign: once logged into text mode, open your X configuration file with 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf'. Find a line that reads " Driver "fglrx" " and replace fglrx with ati. Save file and reboot with sudo reboot. === willwh is now known as willwh|afk [22:58] nm had wow running. whats that program where you can use 2 audio src's at the same time? [22:58] alsa-oss? [22:58] importdezign: making sense? [22:58] soundray: a safer choice for start would be 'vesa' === willwh|afk is now known as willwh [22:58] soundray - ok thanks ill try that brb [22:58] Test [22:58] Helminthe: we know that the default ATI worked, because that's what would have been installed [22:59] can someone help. i start up ubuntu and it says "fcsk died on check, press ctrl-d" i do and it goes to log screen. when there i cant access anything but the failsafe terminal...

[23:02] Weevils__: no, you've had good advice already [23:02] Weevils__: n [23:02] Weevils__: see soho ^^ [23:03] The live cd wont boot, i think the cd drive is like third on the boot order [23:03] Weevils__: why can't you change the boot order? [23:03] i cant access the bios either, i would ususally do that through windows but I deleted the windows2k partition before ubuntu went out [23:03] hi, i forgot the command, how to update system files using terminal? if i correct, there three step or command to update with terminal... [23:03] usually* [23:04] Weevils__: what's the problem when you try to access the BIOS setup? [23:04] unitedpotsmokers: sudo apt-get update? upgrade? dist-upgrade? [23:05] danbh_intrepid, wait i want to try first,,, i think i used sudo apt-get update before.. [23:05] unitedpotsmokers: the safe choice for ubuntu is sudo update-manager -d [23:06] Helminthe: and without the -d [23:06] Helminthe: that does something different than sudo apt-get upgrade [23:06] Helminthe: -d stands for development release, ie, intrepid === Mau_Restor is now known as [Mau_Restor] [23:06] danbh_intrepid: CORRECT [23:06] Helminthe, why u said 'safe'. there are many problem if i use sudo apt-get update? [23:06] unitedpotsmokers: short version - yes :) [23:06] Hello all! [23:07] hello [23:07] unitedpotsmokers: no, sudo apt-get update updates your package lists only, which is safe [23:07] ok now it said 'Reading package lists...

[23:08] so, I am trying to get my system to boot again [23:08] unitedpotsmokers: to update your hardy installation to the latest release packages, do 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [23:08] I am getting the grub21 error [23:08] grub error 21 [23:08] weevils: hello [23:08] before this i use update manager, but it is an easy way.. i just to learn basic command.. === ericc59 is now known as ecampbell [23:09] trinaryShift, [23:09] thanks soundray [23:09] luckyone: what does grub error 21 mean? [23:09] !grub [23:09] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [23:09] ActionParsnip, can't find disk [23:09] i still cant sucessfully plug in my sony dsc-w5 digital camera..any help? i tried google but i havent found any guidance there [23:09] yeah, sorry about that I just get random d/cs is there a way i can run the live cd through the failsafe terminal? [23:09] luckyone: then check which disk grub is targetting [23:09] Hello [23:09] weevils: not really. Why can't you access BIOS setup? [23:09] Hallo [23:10] anyone here using irssi? [23:10] webas: does it show up in sudo fdisk -l [23:10] !hi | Riovane [23:10] Riovane: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:10] i must save this command to note for remember in the future [23:10] iarwain1: just ask the question [23:10] Can anyone guide me to moving from gnome to fluxbox in ubuntu? [23:10] riovane: yes [23:10] actionParsnip - it doesnt..but if i write lsusb i can see it [23:10] could anyone tell me what this gives in his irssi? "/exec -o yes man man" [23:11] well there is no option to anymore. I start up the computer. it shows the dell screen (i push all the f buttons but nothing) na dit goes straight to the screen where i select ubuntu or windows [23:11] Riovane: 'sudo apt-get install fluxbox'. After that, you can choose a fluxbox session before you log in [23:11] iarwain1: do not do that here. [23:11] twfxfnf: Its a fresh install of EEEbuntu. where do i start? [23:11] hah [23:11] i would usually access the bios through windows but its not on this comp anymore [23:11] your first problem is using ubuntu [23:11] webas: then maybe it needs setting to a disk setting [23:11] twfxfnf: how is that [23:11] Riovane: install the fluxbox package. Then from the gdm login screen, press option and select fluxbox as your window manager [23:12] weevils: iirc, F2 is for Dells. You have to hit the key at the right time, shortly after the screen comes on [23:12] because you have this stupid login manager setup instead of a terminal -> startx [23:12] I've already installed gentoo enough times and had trouble getting drivers working [23:12] whereas you could easily change the "exec gnome-session" to "exec fluxbox" in .xinitrc [23:12] k, ill try again [23:12] i installed kamera ( soft ) and there i loaded some similar camera...and one of them seems to work but empty box.. [23:12] twfxfnf: if you're going to give help here, then try to actually be helpful [23:12] Weevils: if not, it's Del [23:12] so i'll use eeebuntu since geeentoo isnt working atm [23:12] Weevils: I mean the key [23:12] I was in a pm with someone and I closed the window by accident [23:12] what's with all the E's [23:13] your first problem is using ubuntu [23:13] lol? [23:13] get back under your bridge D: [23:13] twfxfnf sry, I'm installing it on a ASUS EEEPC [23:13] how to watch /var/log/ ? [23:13] it's wet under there [23:13] no im sorry but i get nothing [23:13] Riovane: 'sudo apt-get install fluxbox'. After that, you can choose a fluxbox session before you log in [23:13] i like my solution more [23:13] because it involves dismantling shit [23:14] geeentoo is nonexistent =] [23:14] twfxfnf: please use professional language in this channel [23:14] how to convert ntfs or fat into ex3 (external usb drive)? [23:14] twerk741: What? [23:14] professional language? [23:14] twfxfnf: avoid swearing and referring to faeces [23:14] how is that professional? [23:14] omp: it existed at some point, but then the site went down for some reason [23:14] Riovane: fluxbox is easy to use in ubuntu, just do what I said above [23:14] twfxfnf: you must say "because it involves dismantling faeces" [23:14] !language > twfxfnf [23:14] no i didn't [23:14] twfxfnf, please see my private message [23:14] Is it me, or does kde is really suck? :S It doesn't even look nice [23:15] i said "because it involves dismantling shit" [23:15] !coc > twfxfnf [23:15] soundray - hey i got in using gnome [23:15] twfxfnf: that's referring to faeces [23:15] mansoor: works for me, kwin is horrific, fluxbox is way better [23:15] importdezign: well done [23:15] ahahah... [23:15] i thought ubuntu meant "humanity to all" [23:15] why are you yelling at me about using such inoffensive profanity [23:15] anyone have experience in installing Synergy? [23:15] twfxfnf: exactly, that's why we have rules like that here [23:15] soundray - when i went to the file u told me to chnage it to ati there was no gflx [23:15] if i start spewing out racial slurs, fine [23:15] twfxfnf, is your sole purpose of being to troll? [23:15] mansoor: you cant judge kde just by looks [23:15] *being here [23:15] rogan: as in the HL2 Multiplayer? [23:15] yell at me but [23:15] I'm not [23:16] rogan: I guess you could look it #steam or so [23:16] who cares if i say shit while i'm helping somebody [23:16] I'm just saying [23:16] mansoor: well, you blatantly are [23:16] twfxfnf: please, if you need to discuss the channel rules, take it to #ubuntu-ops [23:16] soundray - also there was like 5 "xorg.conf" but they all had numbers behind it [23:16] http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ [23:16] the one major argument people bring up to me is that it looks better than gnome [23:16] it's just urghhhhh [23:16] that's so stupid [23:16] Riovane: all i can find is a repository of binary packages called "geeentoo", so it can't be anything special =] [23:16] you erected the rules [23:16] importdezign: so what did you do? [23:16] if i have to discuss them, i've already lost [23:16] actionParsnip - can you look here at my log? http://pastie.org/295447 [23:16] twfxfnf: #ubuntu-ops please [23:16] i want to throw this comp off of my roof damn... [23:16] soundray - it would not let me edit any of them [23:16] I want to do a for loop (in bash) over all files in a directory. Some files have spaces in them, and so they cause problems for "for file in *". Is there a way round this? [23:16] hello [23:17] importdezign: did you do 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' like I suggested? [23:17] soundray - also when i used the sudo cmd i could not open the file? or it was blank [23:17] nuit!! [23:17] that's so lame [23:17] and kde has an annoying fetish with 'K' [23:17] twfxfnf: can you please continue helping now [23:17] i need to install the wireless driver on my Hp dv6747cl laptop [23:17] mansoor: Gnome has an annoying fetish with 'G' =/ [23:17] twfxfnf: or leave if you can't be asked to adopt a simple rule of behaviour [23:17] it actually has a foot fetish [23:18] rww: your mum has an annoying fetish with me [23:18] * rww uses gnome because it's the default and he doesn't really care [23:18] soundray - how do i open it? i see the location and cant choose it and all i see is like "^r" === willwh is now known as willwh|afk [23:18] importdezign: ??

No need for the "Can anyone help me?". It makes it harder to help others [23:20] soundray - maybe 4 times brbr [23:20] i dont understand..what? so what to check now? i can paste my dmesg log also hm [23:20] importdezign, or 'sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf' [23:21] Weevils_: still, formatting is unnecessary - you just have to find a way to run fsck === willwh|afk is now known as willwh [23:21] i have the Ubuntu CE 8.04 loaded on a usb hd and i boot from it and it does not reconige my wireless card [23:21] Does anyone know how to get java working in firefox on 64 bit Hardy?

[23:33] Advice needed: should I install Hardy on my newbie friend's laptop, or should I go for the Intrebid beta?

I use mine for work all the time. [23:35] mtraven: you're data is on a seperate filesystem? [23:35] couldn't get the beta to work tbh [23:35] owen1: 'sudo mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1' [23:35] soundray: but what's your true gut reaction? ;) [23:35] DarkShadow791: its all ive seen them used for [23:35] chris__, let me check on something. Really why not? [23:35] danbh_intrepid: drivers work fine a lot of the time, application-level support is sub-par. actively maintained and well supported applications will work, check ekiga and skype. others like kopete might fail miserably on the same system [23:35] ActionParsnip: I see the that when I press the keys nathing happend, I test it with dmesg [23:35] DarkShadow791: [23:35] webas: here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=682744 you need something in your camera, not an ubuntu problem so it seems [23:35] After_Math, if it gets wifi working ill go for it :D [23:35] icheyne: if it was my friend, and I know I would be around to upgrade him to the released version, I'd go for intrepid [23:35] soundray: it tells me to unmount it. [23:36] icheyne: especially if it's a recent machine [23:36] soundray: thanks mate - I'll do that :) [23:36] ok ok i have the second(blank) hd connected instead but its just sitting on a blank screen. why wont it boot my live cd? [23:36] hspaans -- no not really (I'm trying to preserve the data rather than just reformat the disk, if that's what you are asking) [23:36] csilk: well, I dunno in general. But what programs work with a webcam? Cheese, camorama, xdev or whatever its called, all are phail [23:36] owen1: 'sudo umount /dev/sdb1' [23:36] chris__, haha, thats what I did, no Ubuntu has ever supported my wifi other then 8.10 [23:36] I want to create an ubuntu image for deployment to 25 machines via pxe. any good resources / howto's? [23:36] mtraven: all your data is in /home [23:36] !pxe [23:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about pxe [23:37] After_Math, how do i upgrade [23:37] owen1: not umount (most people type unmount) [23:37] After_Math, out of curiosity, what wifi hardware do you have? [23:37] carandraug i put my camera on usb..then i select normal..after a while i tried ptp..after a while i tried PictBridge.. none worked :( hmm maybe my kubuntu is too new? [23:37] chris__, you might want to get madwifi, Im reading more on that now [23:37] *note umount [23:37] hi, anyone know how to mount the install cd so I can read it from command line? [23:37] csilk, I am using the Realtek rtl8187b drivers [23:37] Rideh: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-unattended-ubuntu-network-install [23:37] Helminthe: ty [23:37] owen1: arrgh -- can you decode what I meant? [23:37] csilk, it was the new kernel version that supports it [23:37] SpinachHead: if you sudo fdisk -l you should se the device [23:37] I've got stuff in various places on the disk actually. [23:38] oh rite [23:38] chris__, Im not sure, I always download a fresh .iso. you get the new .iso? [23:38] soundray: got it. [23:38] ummm , i have the second(blank) hd connected instead but its just sitting on a blank screen. why wont it boot my live cd? [23:38] soundray: give me 1 sec.. [23:38] webas: I never had to bother with that. Not much into photography. Did you follow the link I gave you and tried that? [23:38] After_Math, i tried the fresh iso XD no luck stupid gfx.... [23:38] mtraven: you know where? [23:38] hspaans, sure why? [23:38] fdsik jjust has sda1, sda2, sda5 === bad__ is now known as segfaults [23:39] chris__, oh, couldnt get no graphics working? did you check to see if you had the wireless though? [23:39] yes.. and i even load kamera ( software ) i press there - test..and it sais camera test was sucessfull..hm..maybe i should go in my konqueror in some root/camera to mount it or load it? :\ === segfaults is now known as segmentation_fau [23:39] chris__, does ubuntu even see your card? [23:39] SpinachHead: does fstab show anything? [23:39] soundray: it's writing into the usb drive. cool. do i need to do anything else? [23:40] the whole problem im having is how to install only having wifi and I dont know how to configure the card beforehand === segmentation_fau is now known as bad__ [23:40] i wouldnt mess around with fstab, thats ho wi got in this mess [23:40] mtraven: for a succesful reinstall you need to remove some parts like /var /bin etc etc etc [23:40] Weevils_: its fine as long as you back up the original before you start playing [23:40] mtraven: and choose during the install to not format the filesystem [23:40] Weevils_: then you can easily roll back [23:40] After_Math, lspci does :) [23:41] Weevils_: yuo only get in a "mess" if you dont back up [23:41] wish the people on ubuntu forums would have told me that [23:41] chris__, k [23:41] Weevils_: makes sense doesnt it [23:41] owen1: yes -- for sanity you should use cfdisk to change the partition type to Linux (code 83) [23:41] yeah [23:41] soundray: fdisk still shows F32 [23:41] yeah, fstab had /media/cdrom0 [23:41] owen1: ^^ [23:41] Weevils_: you leanrned the hard way eh [23:41] After_Math, running update (update-manager -d) [23:41] mtraven: but be awake when you do that to limit errors [23:41] apt-ger uninstall bush-mackein.puf [23:41] upgrade* [23:41] chris__, you might want to get rid of ndsiwrapper and try madwifi [23:41] thats putting it lightly [23:42] !girls [23:42] Girls exist on the internet.

[23:42] Weevils_: i tell it to everyone i tell to edit conf files as it takes very little xtra space and saves mases of heartache [23:42] only 1099 packages on the upgrade :) [23:42] Weevils_: backup is the key to ALL computing [23:42] owen1: 'sudo cfdisk', then hit T, follow the instructions, when asked to enter the code, enter 83 [23:43] do what? Looks like a message got dropped. [23:44] janus me aleggro de verte [23:44] hey is it possible to limit the total network speed over an eth device? [23:45] johntramp: you can limit it by app [23:45] why does the cd install mount as read only? [23:45] write protected? [23:45] soundray: let me guess, i have to unmount it before i use fdisk? [23:45] ActionParsnip: ok, how would i do that? [23:45] mtraven: which part? btw look at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ [23:45] johntramp: its on a per app basis [23:45] SpinachHead: because you can't write to a CD that you booted from? Maybe I don't get what you mean... [23:45] owen1: yes [23:46] so, I booted into Knoppix to try and modify my /boot/grub/menu.lst now that I have reconfigured grub to load from (hd0,0) instead of (hd1,0) but I can't modify the file [23:46] oh, yeah yeah. I [23:46] ActionParsnip: oh you mean if the app supports it? [23:46] tired [23:46] anyway, how do i find the packages on the cd such as ndiswrapper [23:46] I ran these as root in knoppix - that still didn't work [23:46] johntramp: sounds plausible [23:46] luckyone: open konsole and edit it with 'sudo nano /mountpoint/boot/grub/menu.lst' [23:46] hello everyone, im using ubuntu now, do i need to install a firewall software like firestarter to keep my system safe? [23:47] cat /etc/parts | zero [23:47] the touchpad on a Dell XPS M1530 is not recognised by Ubuntu. Anybody any idea? [23:47] ups: nope [23:47] how can I know which daemons are running and wich ones arent? [23:47] hello ubuntuers.. I'm getting little trouble here: I must add my user to the group 'vboxusers', but when I go to System > Administration > Users and Groups, my user isn't there.. there's just the root user. shouldn't my user be in that list? [23:47] soundray, I was su'd to root when I tried to edit it [23:47] soundray: cfdisk doesn't show my external usb drive, only sda1 and sda5 [23:47] Hello anyone here that is good at ssh ? [23:47] I'm trying to do a netBoot install using a local Apache server using the ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386 distro. Which folder should be the root of the HTTP server in order for this to work? (I've already got the PXE side of things working). [23:47] this is because i feel it safe using ubuntu.. is it right? [23:48] owen1: 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb' working? [23:48] janus you must insthe beta version of ubuntu you need a newest kernelall t [23:48] luckyone: I see -- so your Ubuntu partition was mounted read-only? [23:48] soundray, root@Knoppix:/media/hdb1/boot/grub# vim menu.lst [23:48] ups: yeah your pretty much safe. its not like your some corporation and somones going to try to attack you [23:48] soundray: yes. should it be sdb or sdb1? [23:49] luckyone: try (at the # prompt): 'mount -o remount,rw /dev/hdb1', then the vim edit [23:49] owen1: try banshee or amarok [23:49] owen1 /dev/sdb (not /dev/sdb1) [23:49] does anyone have experience with asm irvine32.lib? [23:49] ActionParsnip: did you mean owen1? [23:49] thanks Weevils_ for reply... how about anti-virus.. ? [23:49] soundray: ok [23:49] !virus | unitedpotsmokers [23:49] unitedpotsmokers: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [23:50] soundray: probably [23:50] soundray: cider exists [23:50] soundray, you're a champ [23:50] ActionParsnip: you recommend banshee for partition editing? [23:50] thanks PriceChild [23:50] does anyone have experience with asm irvine32.lib? plz [23:50] luckyone: was that it? [23:50] i damien3 [23:50] i took that irvine class [23:51] soundray: after i choose 83, what should i do? 'write'? [23:51] soundray: no i thought that was about mp3 device manipulation [23:51] thanks i'll give it a try [23:51] going to restart and see if I get back into ubuntu... [23:51] I mean asm class with that book [23:51] owen1: yes [23:51] does anybody knows why my user isn't listed in the System > Administration > 'Users and Groups' dialog? I want to manage my groups [23:51] Howdy :-) - After I have used the fcpci driver that comes as default with Ubuntu and installing capisuite, when sending a fax, I get the error "Sun Oct 19 00:50:59 2008 Pythonscript 0x80f7fe0: Traceback: capisuite.BackendError: CapiExternalError: CapiExternalError: controller doesn't support fax services occured in Connection::buildBconfiguration()" [23:51] How can I make the controller support fax-services ? [23:51] jonasfa: are you asked for a password when you run that app? [23:51] ActionParsnip: I've no idea how you arrived at this impression... [23:51] ActionParsnip: I switched around my hds, now do you know how I can get this live cd to boot and install on this blank hd [23:52] yes, when i clicked to unlock [23:52] soundray: i get a message about bootable partitions. should i mark it as bootable? === Sadok is now known as Korfox [23:52] ActionParsnip: yesm when i clicked 'Unlock'.. there's only the root user listed [23:53] owen1: you should mark one as bootable to be safe [23:53] owen1: it doesn't matter -- grub ignores the boot flag [23:53] soundray: i think it's ok. i can see linux when i run fdisk [23:53] PriceChild: this is on an external USB memory device (owen1) [23:53] soundray: is it soo fast? [23:54] owen1: yes, it's literally one byte in the partition table [23:54] soundray: it only took a few secs. and i think i was standing on the 'bootable' option, that's why i saw this message. [23:54] soundray: ah, still, can't hurt 8-) === qwerfd is now known as keram [23:54] PriceChild: like changing to the other side of the road when you see a black cat? [23:55] :) [23:55] soundray: i've had ubuntu being annoying and not booting without a bootable partition somewhere. [23:55] I thought my live cd would just boot up if there was a blank hd in? [23:55] I switched them around and now i got a blank i guess dos screen [23:56] owen1: what PriceChild says is true: it doesn't hurt to set the bootable flag. (I still don't believe it matters) [23:56] * soundray is free from any affliction of superstition, touch wood. [23:56] soundray: already finished with cdisk. thank so much for the help! [23:57] soundray: heard of magic, more magic? [23:57] owen1: glad it worked [23:57] owen1: does it automount now when you unplug and plug it again? [23:57] PriceChild: no -- ? [23:58] soundray: http://catb.org/esr/jargon/html/magic-story.html === jonasfa_ is now known as jonasfa [23:58] soundray: no. i am using dwm. is there a way to automate it? [23:58] i cant copy from the installer cd? still the readonly wont let me unzip packages to home dir [23:59] owen1: dwm? [23:59] soundray: unless it's already automated..? [23:59] soundray: dynamic window manager [23:59] owen1: I thought it was, because you had to umount it more than once [23:59] anyone know how to get the amazon song downloader to work in gutsy 64bit? [23:59] soundray: lightweight window manager. a few lines of c code. [23:59] Helminthe: Thanks for that link, it shows how to use pxe and have it preconfigured to an extent... how do you take it a step further with say openldap client, nfs etc? or will i have to make a script of some sort to do this afterwards?
