If you can get access then try adding a new user this resolved my problem. [00:19] does anybody uses Gambas here?

Sorry I'm a n00b to ubuntu [00:24] bloodscore> if its not there, then search in synaptic for restricted drivers for your kernel which can be told by uname -a in a terminal [00:24] i get "While this driver itself is free software, it relies on proprietary firmware which cannot be legally shipped with the operating system. Your hardware will not work without the firmware." [00:25] dero: No you won't have access to the files of another user. The reason I suggested it is that there is an error. By creating another user then your desktop may go back to normal and the other user at the same time. At least it did for me. Give it a try. Good luck [00:25] bloodscore> yeah, enable it, its just telling you ubuntu doesnt maintain the driver so if theres bugs your out of luck [00:25] anyone here got the xvfb to run on hardy?

I was going to try that, but i thought i might be able to fix it in /etc/exports/ [01:01] f|uke, and that´s because its a diferent mount point that /home/user [01:01] when sharing in shfs, i dont have that problem [01:01] the_lost_one i prefer to mount in /mnt and symlink to my home directory [01:01] f|uke, its a not problem, its just how works :) [01:02] the_lost_one: haaaa. right ;) well thanks m8.

Check the timestamp sudo reports (will look something like below). [01:29] sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jun 17 08:17:55 2006 [01:29] 2. Use Adjust Date & Time to set the date/time to the sudo timestamp or later. [01:29] 3. Execute the 'sudo -k' command. (Clears the timestamp). [01:29] 4. Use Adjust Date & Time to set the date/time back to the correct values. [01:29] Hey everyone <3 [01:29] the_lost_one: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:15] dman777: You don't actually exclude it in your search. You have to exclude it from your database build. [02:15] user_: check the permissions on the mount point. [02:15] dman777: However, in order to readd it, you have to: sudo slocate -u again. [02:16] ah, thx gksu worked [02:16] CapTech, so if i want to exclude a dir, i have to recreate the slocate database everytime? [02:16] dman777: Correct. [02:17] i want to add a login banner so i edited /etc/issue but i dont see the banner when i login what am i doing wrong [02:17] Users can create ther own locate databases I recall.. [02:17] CapTech, isn't that time consumeing defeating the whole purpose of slocate? [02:17] Yup. [02:17] dman777: just grep the output? [02:17] dman777: Read the help file... [02:17] -e - Exclude directories from the slocate database when using the -u or -U options. [02:17] DIL, i was thinking /etc/issue got 'generated' at each boot up. I forget what makes it however... [02:17] CapTech, i didn't have that last part in mine [02:17] dman777: It only works with the -u or -U commands. [02:17] jken146, its 777 [02:17] dman777: Which means when building the databases. [02:18] i've connected a pocket pc to ubuntu one, it was recognized and detected. then I unplugged it, tried plugging it again, but it is not detected as anything other than a USB device. what's wrong?

If someone can help you, they will [02:22] alesan: good, you found that out by yourself. now don't ever ask for support here if anything goes wrong. [02:22] predator363: asking for help isn't really asking a question for support since most just ask the real question [02:22] i did omg you are all compleate retards [02:22] dman777: Okay... one bit at a time. The slocate -u is only used to build a database, not to search it. [02:22] hello all [02:22] dman777: To search it, simply type: locate rc [02:23] chaddy: I am not familiar with those characters...

[02:23] can anyone help me? im having a couple of problems with GRUB [02:23] Thank god predator363 left [02:23] CapTech, ok, now i am getting somewhere thanx. i thought locate was an alias/variable for slocate? [02:24] or nvidia-linux-x86-100.14.19.pkg1.tar [02:24] LjL: ok I will leave the channel before you ban me also, because I ask "taboo" questions [02:24] dman777: It is, you could do: slocate rc [02:24] Fezzler: the nvidia-glx-legacy package? does that work? [02:24] dman777: But the -u is only used to build a database. As such, the -e will only work to eliminate directories when building it, not while searching it. [02:25] I need that specific one [02:25] New to linux, check out http://fushi.sf.net A program to help people to learn linux. [02:25] CapTech, ok. nextime i do a updatedb is that going to wipe out my exclude directory option i sat before when i did slocate -ue /usr?

[02:25] i know you guys probably get tired of helping people all the time, but may someone please assist me? im having problems with GRUB even after re-installing it. [02:25] Hello, CapTech :) [02:26] dman777: Nope. When you updatedb, it will update the db using the last settings you used when you ran the slocate -u command. [02:26] user_: did you set proper permissions on it? [02:26] Hello, Sam. [02:26] hello [02:26] anyone know why Movie Player would be outputting no sound?

[02:27] dman777: technically slocate is a "security" enhanced version, however, I've never searched using slocate, I only build the DB's with it. [02:27] and im somewhat new to ubuntu still [02:27] dman777: To each his own. [02:28] Pulpie_inlove, what? [02:28] dman777: You can search with either. [02:28] ubuntu restricted extras are the codecs that it asked for when i tried to play a song at first, right? [02:28] CapTech, can i assume they use the same database? [02:28] dman777: Correct. [02:28] bloodscore, yes, most likely [02:28] those are installed. [02:28] bloodscore: could have been gstreamer-plugins-bad [02:28] kunwon1: the bot, it should pm people instead of flood the channel its used to oftend to not [02:28] dman777, slocate only lists files that you have permissions to access [02:29] bloodscore, do you have the package ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? that's what you need [02:29] CapTech, will this work also? slocate -u -e /*/i_don't_want_dir [02:29] bloodscore: not that it really matters (sorry) [02:29] Pulpie_inlove, the bot offends you?

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [02:29] bloodscore, you can install it with aptitude, sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:29] kunwon1: it just makes a mess of an already crowded channel [02:29] bloodscore, it takes some time [02:29] anyone please? i am running ubuntu off of a 500 GB external firewire Hard drive, and i have Black XP installed on my main hard drive [02:29] can someone help me setup my samba sharing?

As to whether or not you can use a wildcard, I don't think so. [02:31] kunwon1: Im just saying they should follow in the foot steps of #debian like usual and have their bot pm/notice someone instead of spam in the channel. [02:31] CapTech, thanx. you've been alot of help! [02:31] bloodscore, I had to reboot after installing that, before my mp3s would play. you probably will too [02:31] ok fixed it thanks === Guest15839 is now known as Ades [02:31] anyone? [02:31] crtoe, my laptop has a memory max of 4 gigs... our discussion over the weekend concerned my laptop that had currently only had 2 gigs... I installed the remaining to 2 gigs today and the vm along with the general ubuntu system itself have shown *dramatic* improvement.... the vm was previously only allotted about 748 mb - 1024 mb worth of memory, now it gets the full 2048, the issue with heat and performance are nearly gone... t [02:31] he battery discharge also shows sign of reduced speed in discharge... memory, appears to solve vm issues too :) [02:31] yes [02:31] CapTech, i'm using gentoo :) but i come here because the following is so large i can find good support for CLI questions [02:31] Pulpie_inlove, why is it spam?

CLI FTW! [02:32] genii, why not? [02:32] genii, would I build it from source then. Oh propably because of the kernel? [02:32] bah [02:32] kunwon1: no thanks [02:32] After_Math: Because basically it is for another distribution and kernel version [02:32] anyone know where i could go for help then? === GuestC9E1DF is now known as xk001 [02:33] genii, I could make it from source though right === xk001 is now known as xk002 [02:33] After_Math: Yes, you could [02:33] genii, k thanks [02:33] http://peemebe.bizhat.com/privado/ [02:34] nvm then [02:34] eliot the king [02:34] hm?

[02:35] wow, I was stupid enough to click and that stupid link provided by ades [02:35] um pretty good [02:35] chicken [02:35] just trying to get help with my problem [02:35] jrib I get to properties and there is no share option. was at that website but was confused. That's why I came here [02:35] eeliottheking: she spews nonsensical things here all the time, don't let it throw you [02:35] Omikane: what version of ubuntu? [02:35] alright [02:36] lol [02:36] lol [02:36] jrib hardy 8.04 I think [02:36] !version | Omikane [02:36] Omikane: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [02:36] hey, i recently purchased a External hardrive. I wouild like to partition it to have a few linux based operating systems on it, so i could boot off of it. How would one accomplish somthing like this. [02:37] jrib yep hardy 8.04 [02:37] Omikane: it should be the last tab when you click properties [02:37] whats a good email server [02:38] turko, pronto [02:38] I have troubles with Amarok ==> There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The message returned by the system was: Could not open network socket Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running! [02:38] can anyone tell me how I could get VirtualBox to run on 8.10? [02:38] Mowk: take about 10 GB for each distro. You can partition in the installers of most distros, or beforehand using e.g. gparted. [02:38] After_Math: #ubuntu+1 for help with intrepid [02:38] jrgp, forgot thanks :) [02:39] jken146: Yes but how would i boot off of my external hardrive? [02:39] and choose what linux one i wanted to use at the time, say if i had 3 on the same one. [02:39] Mowk, Bios [02:39] Mowk: install the bootloader to the first partition of that drive. Then look in your BIOS settings to allow USB boot. [02:40] Which bootloader. [02:40] Mowk: GRUB (bootloader) should automagically make a list of all the OSs installed. [02:40] Thannks boss;) [02:40] Mowk: The process of how to do this differs between distros [02:41] MOwk: but for the popular ones it's quite easy and automatic(ish) [02:41] i can fool around, Even if i make a mistake its easy to reverse the prossess with a external drive with nothing to losse on it, correct? [02:41] Mowk: yes [02:41] Thanks. [02:41] (01:25:49 AM) eeliottheking: i know you guys probably get tired of helping people all the time, but may someone please assist me? im having problems with GRUB even after re-installing it.

The message returned by the system was: Could not open network socket Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!

Try doing this: echo "blacklist ath_pci" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [03:21] flannel: just a sec ill do it [03:21] jrib, great. Thanks a lot, have a good nite [03:21] jkoce: What version of Ubuntu did you install? [03:21] hello, wubi user with a probably-dumb question. [03:21] predator363: once you reboot, that should disable the Atheros driver, and enable the free one. See if that works. If not, we'll remove that line and check about other stuff. [03:21] Jordan_U let me check, it was the most recent (dl'd it sunday) [03:21] this conversation with karab44 is incredibly amuzing [03:22] had some kind of catastrophe, had to chkdsk from windows, booted back up, should i force a fsck as well? [03:22] and if so how? [03:22] flannel: it started a new blank line like it was going to do something but all it did was have a blinking box [03:22] how do I list all the updates, but not install them? [03:22] Jordan: 8.0.4 desktop [03:22] Omikane_, follow this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [03:22] predator363: What command did you give? [03:22] right now it's stuck at "running local boot scripts" [03:23] blacklist ath_pci" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [03:23] kc8hfi: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -s dist-upgrade [03:23] jrib: i compiled sourcecode into .deb and it installs into /usr/local and want it to /usr/ [03:23] kc8hfi: the -s means "simulate" [03:23] Omikane_: in share properties you set access. It should be the user account you shared from by default [03:23] predator363: Right, you missed the echo and the first " [03:23] oh sorry lemme try again [03:23] !packaging > karab44 [03:23] karab44, please see my private message [03:23] jrib: some gyu says that it should be done before compilling.. [03:24] karab44: I imagine you want to pass --prefix /usr/ when you ./configure [03:24] kc8hfi: Use update-manager or run "sudo apt-get update" and then choose not to install ( it will ask before actually upgrading ) [03:24] jrib, karab44: you mean /usr/local/, yes? [03:24] jrib: yes so ... now its too late? [03:24] or is chkdsk alone sufficient [03:24] flannel: it said blacklist_athpci [03:24] predator363: Er, blacklist ath_pci, right? [03:24] * jkoce has taken a number [03:24] flannel: lol yea [03:24] Flannel: yes, it installs into usr/local/ and I want it into /usr/ [03:25] karab44: that's not really recommended. Why do you want that? [03:25] karab44: "too late?" just edit debian/rules to call ./configure properly [03:25] jkoce: Have you done anything other than install and update? [03:25] karab44: Oh, packaging. [03:26] Jordan: not really, just installed flash plugin for firefox [03:26] jrib: but everything will be compiled once again i presume [03:26] karab44: yeah [03:26] jrib: You see [03:26] what package provides the /var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree*.xml files? many of mine appear to be corrupt (apt-get/dpkg give parsing errors) [03:27] flannel: is that all i was suposed to do? [03:27] jrib: so its exactly ./configure --prefix /usr/ ? [03:27] predator363: reboot, see if it works, yeah.

[03:33] gwinbee: Nope, it removes that file after/during/whatever [03:33] any app that locks down the session at certain times? [03:33] ah, thanks. [03:34] Hey, So im trying to partition my external HD to ubuntu but Gparted wont let me Make a new partition because tis already partitioned into NFTS what do i do [03:34] predator363: How big is the output of this: cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [03:34] MrPockets, look this http://www.watchingthenet.com/connecting-to-shared-printers-on-windows-computers.html [03:34] thank you flannel, you're helpful and your name reminds me of my favorite kind of shirt. now i'm off to reboot. [03:34] flannel: just a sec [03:34] Anyone know what package provides the /var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree*.xml files? 'dpkg -S' and 'dpkg-query -S' both return no results O_o [03:34] hey i installed artwiz fonts and can use them with conky, but the i cant select them in the gnome configuration dialog or in the gnome-terminal font selector -- what gives? [03:34] flannel: huge [03:34] Mowk: Do you want to keep the ntfs data or not? === Guest14027 is now known as Brucee [03:35] couldnt care lessjsut abit of movies, guessm it would eb nice [03:35] can someone help me view my windows files from ubuntu? like the windows partition? [03:35] i jsut want to have a 10gb ubuntu partition [03:35] jrib I don't know what that means [03:35] Mowk: If not just delete it then and re-partition [03:35] Omikane_: what is your username in ubuntu? [03:35] asd [03:36] jrib nickolaus [03:36] anyone want to help a total noob? i got ubuntu installed, and downloaded a bunch of updates...now it won't boot [03:36]  i jsut want to have a 10gb ubuntu partition [03:36] predator363: hmmm, is there a line "blacklist ath_pci" at the end of that? [03:36] mowk, tried wubi? [03:36] Omikane_: you can log in with that username and your ubuntu password when you connect to the share from windows [03:36] Heya Flannel [03:36] gah wubi [03:36] whats wrong with wubi [03:37] flannel: yes [03:37] Howdy Kr0ntab [03:37] how ya been? [03:37] anyone help me view my windows partition in ubuntu? [03:38] predator363: alright, apparently we're supposed to use another file. So, go ahead and open that up in an editr with sudo (alt-f2, then type: gksu "gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist") then remove that last line, and save it again. [03:38] aflack: how many hard drives do you have? one with multiple partitions? [03:38] aflack: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G [03:38] ive got one yes === ferox is now known as feroxjb [03:38] jrib oh, I've tried that. It just keeps prompting me. [03:39] aflack: you can take a look at the url bobpaul just recommended... [03:39] am [03:39] aflack: cool... [03:40] Omikane_: hmm. don't know then. Never used a share from windows. You could load a live cd on the windows machine and see if the share worked fine there. Then you would know it was an issue with windows [03:40] whats the difference between the normal kernel-source and the kernel-source-2.6 ? === blood_ is now known as blood_su [03:40] hmmm [03:40] hey i got one simple question. why are java apps so slow on linux i mean sys specs are : intel celeron @ 2.4ghz/ 1gb drr/ geforece fx 5500 / 20gb hdd (OS) / 250 gb external [03:40] jrib yeah, I recall the last time I set it up I edited the smb.conf file. [03:41] jkristheking, not sure but i doubt you 20gig hd and external drive have anything to do with java speed issues [03:41] Omikane_: personally, I just used the gui on ubuntu and was able to see the shares on other ubuntu and osx machines [03:41] ha i know idk why i listed them -.- [03:41] flannel: it said can not open display when i typed gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklis [03:42] t [03:42] predator363: Alright, go ahead and do this then: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [03:42] riegersn: you mean "linux-source"? linux-source just depends on the latest linux-source-* package [03:42] predator363, nano /etc/modprobe.d...... [03:42] jrib, yea... what about the 2.6 source [03:42] any idea on how to schedule a time when ubuntu automaticly locks up? [03:42] jrib, how can i decide what would be best for me? [03:43] predator363, thats because gedit is a graphical editor and needs X window [03:43] riegersn: erm, linux-source probably depends on linux-source-2.6 or whatever [03:43] flannel: k its open [03:43] predator363: scroll down to the very bottom and remove that line, then save (ctrl-o) [03:44] k [03:44] predator363: We're following the instructions on this page, by the way: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/+bug/182489 [03:44] hey i can use the artwiz fonts in xfontsel and with conky via xft, but i cant see any of the fonts in gnome apps (the gnome appearance program, terminal, etc) -- how can i get gnome to see the fonts [03:44] Hi. I am getting this error "The custom vm you have chosen is not a valid executable" when I open eclipse on my kubuntu machine. Anyone knows how to correct this error? [03:44] flannel: should i just falllow these or am i better off with you? [03:45] hiiii [03:45] hey if anyone wants to help a noob...i can't get my GUI to start (says unable to connect to x server) [03:46] predator363: If you'd like to follow that, you can. Be sure to read the full thing before starting (because the earlier workrarounds aren't necessary now that proper fixes are in place). In a nutshell: The fix has been applied to the backports (hardy-backports) repository, so you need to install that package, and then apparently also get rid of the ath_pci module (intsructions are in that near the bottom) to allow the backported one to work. [03:47] i tried the link for the viewing of the windows partition in ubuntu, and im kind of lost... can you give me the link again === Tniffoc is now known as Tniffoc^Away [03:47] !away > Tniffoc^Away [03:47] Tniffoc^Away, please see my private message [03:47] aflack: the link should just tell you to install and run ntfs-config [03:47] !ntfs > aflack [03:47] aflack, please see my private message [03:47] using xinerama is causing xorg to use 90% cpu....anything i can do?

[03:51] joe_chat, yea xmms was good. but check out audacious...its just like xmms...ive actually grown to love it more...and i was a die hard xmms fan [03:51] So, I'm looking to setup some automated backup. [03:51] Can I use the backup user? [03:52] or should I create my own user for backup? [03:52] Goan, its seems that eclipse its complaining about your java Virtual Machine which is setup by JAVA_HOME variable, i googled a bit and you can make it work with the -vm paremeter [03:52] i did and really miss xmms [03:52] :( [03:52] mlins: check out rsnapshot [03:52] the_lost_one, I know about the workaround too [03:52] soz for the away msgs I only thought it would affect the channel I was in... soz [03:52] does anyone know if u can add files to a ubuntu distro [03:52] FFEMTcJ: I'm user rdiff-backup [03:52] Goan, oh k :) [03:53] but i am looking to fix my eclipse link in programs menu [03:53] just trying to figure out if I can user the built-in backup user to [03:53] judojohnny: you can create your own distro [03:53] hi folks - does anyone have Teamspeak working & able to play at the same time? [03:53] music* [03:53] willwh: There's some howtos in the forums regarding teamspeak, they might be a good place to look [03:53] how hard is that, im really only lookin to add a few flash files for my school comp [03:53] Flannel: really? I will check it out thanks [03:54] how do i install the atheros ar5009 drivers? [03:54] predator363: First we'll install the backports package, then we'll see about blacklisting. [03:54] exit [03:54] oops [03:54] Got a question: I'm getting a "Bus Error" when trying to run wireshark on Hardy-anyone seen that before? [03:54] flannel: ok how do i do that? [03:55] wczimmerman: nope [03:55] dang [03:55] is there any software to control fan speed on ati cards in linux [03:55] wczimmerman: http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development [03:55] damn thing is loud [03:55] rivatuner like application out there or am i sol? [03:56] wczimmerman: looks like its glib and gtk+ version issue [03:56] k [03:56] I'll check that [03:56] Thanks [03:56] that took me like 2 secs in google? :P [03:56] "wireshark bus error [03:56] predator363: Ugh. Ok, we're going to enable backports, even if its not my favorite idea, but that'll be the best future proof way.... actually... [03:56] <|chiz|_> is there a way I to troubleshoot resuming after suspend? [03:56] predator363: You could try Intrepid. This is a fresh install, right? [03:57] reinstalled gtk already but forgot glib [03:57] flannel: yes and i tryed intrepid but i worked even less than hardy so im waiting for the official release [03:57] predator363: Its only a development version, but it's due out in two weeks, and would probably be a lot simpler for you. [03:57] predator363: Alright, we'll go with Hardy then. [03:57] predator363: go ahead and enable backports. Go to Administration > Software sources and check then hardy backports repository [03:58] flannel: took me a week and 6 distro's to find one that worked [03:58] predator363: This fix should work by default in Intrepid, as I understand that bug report. Or at least, once intrepid is final. As for your other stuff, I'm not sure. [03:58] Flannel: great aoss works a treat [03:58] only issue being... [03:59] my teamspeak sound jittery now [03:59] soudns* [03:59] argh, can't type for toffee tonight :( [03:59] flannel: i dont see any kinda backports anything to check [04:00] predator363: alright, lets just do this then: echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main restricted" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [04:01] <^Cheeky> hey what programs as in chat wise, pidgin and such support web cam, ?

How do i update to firefox 3? === MTeck|MoreMePity is now known as MTecknology [04:07] predator363: Sorry, I can't seem to find backports packages listed, so you're going to have to be my eyes for a bit. [04:07] m3thod, are you not on Hardy? [04:07] m3thod: what version of ubuntu? [04:07] flannel: sure how? [04:07] predator363: sudo apt-get update, and then apt-cache search linux-backports-modules, and pastebin the output of the apt-cache search please. [04:08] how can i run a script when my screensaver is executed?

How can i double that... [04:10] I looking for someone who can give me a hand on a problem I have. Im on a windows-pc and read that gimp should have a function that I'm was searching the last hours. Is someone kind enough to help me out? [04:10] Ububegin: edit -> current profile [04:10] I wanna know if the result of an filter in gimp has the affect I hope it has [04:10] ok, I'm trying to upgrade early to Intrepid [04:11] !upgrade | coppro [04:11] coppro: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [04:11] coppro: Also, see #ubuntu+1 [04:11] Jenjen: ask #gimp [04:11] well, it's really a package manager issue [04:11] I'll see if it's on the notes [04:11] thx, I will try [04:11] jrib: cool.. found it.. thanks [04:12] GMWeezel: I don't know of anything to do that. What do you want to happen? [04:12] Hey guys, i went to install ubuntu on my external hd and partitioned it to 10 gb of it. i insaltled it and it installed grub also. now even when i dont have my external hd up it comes to grub and theres an error i cant boot in windows now. How can i uninstall ubuntu please [04:12] the issue is, I'm using the newer PPA versions of KDE4 [04:12] Mowk: what's the error? [04:12] and apt is thinking it needs to uninstall them all [04:12] 232 i belive [04:13] is there any way to downgrade packages to the repository versions? [04:13] MTecknology: Well, right now it's so I can dismount certain encrypted volumes I don't want mounted when they aren't in use. I have a solution but it's one I don't like; I'll rename gnome-screensaver to gnome-screensaver-bin and replace the original with a shell script more than likely is what i will do [04:13] as a batch command? [04:13] can i jsut remove ubuntu its not even workin... [04:13] flannel: did i paste it right? [04:13] im running from a live cd [04:13] predator363: Aye. Alright, what kernel are you running? (uname -a) it's only one line, so you can go ahead and paste it in the channel [04:14] GMWeezel: that's not a horrible option. The other thing you could do is have a cron task that checks if the screen saver is running every 5 min [04:14] How can i remove ubuntu? [04:14] Mowk: What would you like to end up with? [04:14] mowk: rm -rf /* always worked for me [04:14] Mowk: xp or vista? [04:14] found the solution, if anyone wants to set ati fan speed [04:14] !danger | ransom [04:14] ransom: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you!

[04:14] whoops [04:14] where 40 is percentage of fan speed [04:14] i got in trouble [04:14] ransom: Please don't *ever* do anything like that here. [04:14] I dont get how grub is running i dont have my external disk in where i installed it. [04:14] Mowk: 232 isn't a grub error. [04:15] my apologies [04:15] I dont want grub to run either. [04:15] MTecknology: well maybe not horrible but it seems like there should be something in place to do that already. ive skimmed all the config files to no avail too. hadnt thought to check to see if the screensaver was running. i prefer that. [04:15] Mowk: grub installs to your MBR, you'll need your Vista disk, and then you can replace it. [04:15] MBR? [04:15] MTecknology: the reason i dont like to do "Wrapper" scripts is because it complicates uninstalling programs if i forget ive wrapped them later on. [04:15] Mowk: as far as Ubuntu is concerned, just remove the partition (after dealing with GRUB) and re-absorb the space [04:15] Mowk: grub installed to your first hd. It's not finding entried in your /boot though. You can boot to a vista install cd and have it restore itself to the MBR [04:16] anybody know how to query the glibc function "open" with info [04:16] "info open" just tells how to use the shell command open [04:16] How would i restore it to the mbr [04:16] GMWeezel: I'd do the cron if I were you - easy check [04:16] predator363: alright, install this package: linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-19-generic with, sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-19-generic [04:16] reinstall windows? [04:16] !grub [04:16] 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 [04:16] Mowk: in the install cd, click next, then there's a repain option [04:16] e-frame: not grub [04:16] flannel: any way we can get this done in about 15 mins? iv got to leave and if we cant finish i may have to use vista untill tommorow when i can come back for help [04:17] repair* [04:17] Would a recovery disk work? [04:17] the ones you make. [04:17] Mowk: probably [04:17] predator363: This? Perhaps. But Just keep that bug in your bookmarks or whatever and then ask about it tomorrow. [04:17] MTecknology: yeah, that's probably what i will end up doing. thanks. i was trying to think of how to do it with cron but it never dawned on me to check to see if the screensaver was running. too much time on windows. anyway, thanks a lot. [04:17] how do i delete the partition of ubuntu [04:17] flannel: its d/ling [04:17] MTecknology: doesn't Mowk just want to have his vista back ? [04:17] hello, how can i run CSS on ubuntu? i see the menu at the beginning but the letters are absolutely illegible and it is choppy. i havent even played the game yet [04:17] mowk: why would you want to do such a thing? [04:17] Mowk: for more help, you should go to ##windows. You're just trying to restore the vista mbr [04:18] Mowk: Use your favorite partition manager. Partition Magic, or whatever. [04:18] flannel: done [04:18] its not working [04:18] e-frame: he wants the original boot loader back [04:18] GMWeezel: don't ask him that - i hate that question [04:18] Mowk: if u want to dual boot, we'll help. but if u want to get rid of ubuntu, u should gtfu [04:18] predator363: Alright, now we need to blacklist that module. We do it by editing: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist [04:18] hi, im getting a weird error. I have about 30,000+ hard links and now I get .... /bin/ln: creating hard link to `/home/robbie/shared_file': Too many links [04:18] !u > e-frame [04:18] e-frame, please see my private message [04:19] Im not getting rid of it. im getting it off and re installing correctly. [04:19] predator363: and then at the end, type "blacklist ath_pci" (without the quotes), save, reboot... and... I think we're done? [04:19] flannel: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist then what? [04:19] flannel: oh sorry hold on [04:19] MTecknology: well, i ask because i always like to understand why people want to uninstall ubuntu. helps me with converting more people. also, ive had people phrase questiosn poorly and not really want to uninstall ubuntu but rearrange their boot settings, things like that. [04:19] is there a specific room for ubuntu gaming? [04:19] Mowk: then read above about grub. I'd suggest getting everything working with grub since it's more flexible [04:19] Mowk: but we need to know the error it's throwing [04:20] flannel: k brb gonna reboot === Guest14027 is now known as Brucee [04:20] if Mowk has problem about booting, doesn't mean he has to reinstall everything, right? [04:20] hi, does anyone know how jockey-gtk detects hardware to see whether restricted drivers for a system can be installed? [04:20] GMWeezel: sounds good - usually the reason i hear it is "you're an idiot, you suck if you want to do something like that" [04:20] e-frame: no [04:20] Then what shall i do? [04:21] recovery disk? [04:21] then just tweak the boot [04:21] !grub | Mowk (Read through this) [04:21] Mowk (Read through this): 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 [04:21] first link [04:21] i've told ya all [04:21] Mowk: but you should install /boot to your main hard drive [04:21] MTecknology: no, im not the linux-elitist type and if i were i would probably be criticizing him for using "winbuntu." not my style; everyone has preferences, needs. also, i just realized gnome-screensaver is a daemon and there.fore always runnings so ive hit a wall for using cron. [04:22] im confuzed:( [04:22] the reason you're getting an error (most likely) is that you have /boot on a different drive and it's not being seen. /boot needs to be read to boot anything. [04:22] flannel: still no wifi [04:22] MTecknology: ok, think i just figured out the fix-- check to see if it's sleeping or active. [04:22] mowk, you want a dualboot or what? [04:23] flannel: but now i have a thing that sais i have a bunch of updates [04:23] e-frame: ya he does - but he wants ubuntu on an external drive [04:23] I want to jsut get so i have vista working normally again then start over [04:23] so /boot needs to exist on the first drive [04:23] MTecknology: no problem, just plug and tweak the grub, according to device map / partition table [04:23] Mowk: then use the vista install cd and it has an option right away to fix problems with booting [04:24] kk [04:24] predator363: right, those are backports, not supported (and this is why I didn't want to enable backports). Unfortunately, I think we'll have to sit tight until tomorrow. [04:24] flannel: it sais its doing a distro upgrade but it sais it's upgrading to hardy. how can hardy upgrade to hardy? [04:24] Il be back if other problems occur [04:24] ok see you tommorow [04:25] Mowk [04:25] is there any way to install flashplayer for x86_64 architecture? [04:25] deftone: mowk lefts [04:25] deftone: he's fixing grub [04:25] is there any way to install flashplayer for x86_64 architecture? [04:25] ah there's an easier way [04:25] he said he wanted to start over [04:26] HoNgOuRu: visit http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ and click on the yellow bar [04:26] deftone: I think he's going to sit frustrated until he's back inside vista [04:27] I want to delete the kde 4 folder so that my desktop is the default like when i first installed ubuntu [04:27] deftone: he did everything fine except he needed /boot on sda [04:27] can i do it while i'm in kde considering i have kubuntu and kde is the default? [04:27] MT: so he can't boot vista at all right now? [04:28] deftone: you can do it, just log out right away - some settings might get stuck [04:28] nope [04:28] he'll be ok [04:28] he need to insert his vista cd and repair the mbr [04:28] takes like 1 min [04:28] yup === family is now known as GamerZFX [04:28] once in a while... it actually works [04:29] i did it last night [04:29] he may use easybcd [04:29] blew away fedora 9 [04:29] and installed kubuntu [04:29] i like it much better [04:29] MTecknology: ok so that didnt work. any suggestions on checking if the screensaver is running? [04:29] hrm [04:29] what app? [04:29] gnome-screensaver ? [04:31] GMWeezel: what screensaver are you using? [04:31] GMWeezel, you cant just check it with ps aux? [04:31] the_lost_one: it's always running-- it's a daemon. i tried that. [04:31] MTecknology: gnome-screensaver [04:31] gnome-screensaver-command -q [04:32] that's exactly what ya need ;) [04:32] MTecknology: wow thanks. that's so simple [04:32] usually is - just need to find it [04:33] ah, do query [04:33] GMWeezel: now that I think about it - your wrapper idea wouldn't have worked :P [04:34] how much does it matter if i i do an ltsp install to/from ubuntu vs. edubuntu? [04:34] MTecknology: yeah because the program isnt invoked since it's a deamon [04:34] MTecknology: well, i could have wrapped each screensaver binary but that would be a huge pain. [04:34] you would have to have wrapped gnome-screensaver-command [04:37] ah, does anyone know why the video screen of any player i tryed does not moves properlly while the compiz cube is moving? [04:37] the_lost_one: videa card a little slower? [04:38] MTecknology, no its not that, i meran i get a black screen inside the player if i move the cube [04:38] mean* [04:39] the_lost_one: could be the same reason... direct rendering enabled? [04:39] MTecknology, glxinfo says yes [04:40] the_lost_one: could be justa copmiz thing. I don't use compiz though [04:41] MTecknology, for example webcam dysplays properlly while moving the cube [04:41] MTecknology, its really a strange efect [04:41] :) [04:41] the_lost_one: more than likely, it's just an issue with the application and compiz [04:41] and your hardware most likely [04:41] im trying to install ubuntu from the alternative CD via a usb drive. its hung up on the detect and mount cd-rom [04:41] sure, will fix it someday [04:42] the_lost_one: you could file a bug against it if you want - or search launchpad [04:42] redDEAD: I've heard of that before. Get the minimal CD instead, it won't need to mount the CD [04:42] !minimal | redDEAD [04:42] redDEAD: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [04:43] the_lost_one: there's a good chance there's a work-around out there [04:43] redDEAD: Do you have a cd drive? [04:43] MTecknology, yes, i just find this thing today, i dont googled nothing :) [04:43] my laptop speakers wouldn't cut off when i connect my headphones in my Sony Vaio Laptop [04:43] MTecknology, no its a netbook. no cd drive [04:44] redDEAD: how did you make the usb install?

[04:44] redDEAD: doesn't answer the question - what method did you use [04:44] it mutes my headphones as well [04:45] MTecknology, usb-creator [04:45] aight... [04:45] root______, there a key S1 for mute but it is not mapped [04:46] redDEAD: 8.10 or 8.04? [04:46] MTecknology, both [04:46] semanticpc is that intel hda ? [04:46] redDEAD: exact same problem? [04:47] MTecknology, yup with the regular and the alt [04:47] root______, yes [04:47] semanticpc this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [04:47] semanticpc: I have a VGN-FZ240E - I've been working on the hardware support for 8.10. It had been making leaps and bounds... more of that works for me and some others [04:48] !intrepid > kindofabuzz [04:48] kindofabuzz, please see my private message [04:48] redDEAD: so you've tried regular and alt of both 8.10 and 8.04? [04:48] that reminds me i had to rebuild alsa to get the internal mic working on the acer one [04:50] #lobby [04:51] if i stopped my samba service [04:51] how do i start it again? [04:51] I am getting "Ubuntu is running low graphics mode" when I boot with the 8.10 beta livecd, I have Nvidia 7050pv chipset, whats the best way to move forward ? [04:51] LoneShadow|work, install it... [04:51] MTecknology, does the S1 and AV Mode keys work for u ?? [04:51] join #gimp [04:52] what are they supposed to do again?.... [04:52] MrPockets: the GUI options are confusing, do I need to install the drivers from alt-f1/f2 console ? [04:53] you're running on a live CD you say? [04:53] yea, was trying to check out the 8.10 livecd [04:53] yeah [04:53] install it [04:53] to the HDD [04:53] then install the restricted drivers for the nvidia card [04:54] MTecknology, S1 mutes the volume of laptop speakers when headphones is connected [04:54] semanticpc: I don't have any headphones to test with - I might be able to check later [04:54] AV? [04:54] hi!i'm looking some information.does anybody can help me? [04:55] !ask > vaquero [04:55] vaquero, please see my private message [04:55] MrPockets, maybe the fast way is typing "sudo /etc/init.d/samba start" or whatever is called the samba daemon [04:55] S1 ? [04:55] S1 = ! ??? [04:55] root______: vaio specific key [04:55] root______, S1 is a specific to Vaio [04:55] ok. [04:56] semanticpc: what's the other key supposed to do? [04:56] MTecknology, i don't remem ..... its useful in windows but i don't use Windows at all [04:56] I see my cursor disappear when I press it [04:57] flannel: you in here still? [04:57] MTecknology, those keys are not interpreted by acpi [04:57] seems like the guys from #gimp doint have time. Is someone here who has gimp installed and can do a 20 second procedure for me (because im on a window system) [04:57] semanticpc: I'm gonna figure it's a safe bet they're both working [04:58] the aspire one comes with no windows key, instead it cames with a nice home icon... lol [04:58] nice [04:58] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx-96_96.43.05-0ubuntu10_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libGL.so.1', which is also in package libgl1-mesa-glx [04:58] what does that mean? [04:58] if I was talented - I'd make the thing into a tux icon [04:58] im using intrepid [04:58] flannel: i just realised i dident thank you before i left [04:58] !intrepid [04:58] Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu [04:58] my music skips and hangs every few seconds, for a few seconds, thru all of my audio players, but only for files played over my local network. How can I get them to stop skipping all the time?? [04:58] MTecknology, is there any way to cut-off laptop speaker output when headphones are connected ??? [04:58] quick, what's the lightest-weight PDF viewer I probably have installed, not KDE [04:58] MrPockets: It fails while loading X, if I try to install it [04:59] coppro: evince [04:59] coppro: I use either xpdf or evince [04:59] !evince [04:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about evince [04:59] !info evince [04:59] evince (source: evince): Document (postscript, pdf) viewer. In component main, is optional. Version 2.22.2-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 861 kB, installed size 6276 kB [04:59] zigovr, maybe you must increase the cache of your players [04:59] not installed :( === blood_ is now known as blood_su [04:59] coppro xpdf would be, but you probably don't have it installed (yet) [04:59] ops, i meant zigzags [04:59] I'm upgrading to intrepid, so my KDE viewers are broken, so I need one that will work while my KDE upgrades [04:59] I recall something really lightweight for PS... [05:00] coppro xpdf [05:00] could be [05:00] unfortunately, that's not installed either [05:00] :( [05:00] no command-line ones or anything [05:00] atm its at 2000ms (2 seonds, right?) and the audio skips usually every 8-12 seconds, rarely less than that [05:01] how do I restart the indexing daemon? [05:01] is it bad to set the cache at 5 minutes? [05:01] I am interested in setting up ubuntu server on a dual opteron server and need some help getting started. I want to have a virtual machine setup with 2 vms, one for a Lamp config, and a second for a Nexuiz Game server. Where can I get help? [05:01] hi folks - anyone have any tips for stuttering sound when using aoss? (alsa-oss) [05:01] I am familiar with Linux, just not ubuntu Server edition [05:01] SoldierX: that seems pretty straightforward [05:01] SoldierX: aptitude (the package manager) is your friend [05:02] yes, i know what I want, i just want to get some information before I tackle the job [05:02] SoldierX: you'll want virtualbox installed for VM's [05:02] how do I restart the indexing daemon? [05:02] ok [05:02] sudo apt-get install [05:02] if you'd like a GUI for your server, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:02] use aptitude not apt-get [05:02] zigzags only bad if you want to use 800mb ram to play a 3m audio file [05:02] that was goignn to be my next qustion [05:02] what MTecknology said [05:03] it's slower but more stable === blood_ is now known as blood_su [05:03] once I get everythign up can I turn off the gui? [05:03] simply remove the package, yes [05:03] zigzags err don't want too ^ [05:03] what do I use for remote access? [05:03] ssh [05:03] :) [05:04] right [05:04] SoldierX ssh and yes [05:04] just make sure to make it run on a non-standard port [05:04] haha [05:04] ok [05:04] otherwise people will just hammer your box with login scripts [05:04] root____: do you know how i can get my network audio files to stop freezing for a few seconds at random intervals? [05:04] wait, I probably have pdf2something installed [05:04] willwh, i use denyhosts for that [05:04] zigzags no. sorry. [05:04] would it be good to setup ssh on the local and the vms? [05:05] ya [05:05] zigzags, you must increase the cache of your players [05:05] ok [05:05] coppro so type in pdf[tab][tab] [05:05] The_lost_one it doesnt skip every 2 seconds, which is that the cache is set at [05:05] its completely random [05:05] SoldierX: "sudo aptitude install openssh-server denyhosts" us a good first step on any server [05:05] ok [05:05] what is the name of windows fonts? [05:05] SoldierX you mean sshd? (the server) [05:05] zig, the cache sets a buffer, to make skipping less likely [05:05] msttcorefonts [05:06] zigzags, which player u have normally? [05:06] ferfactor: ms-ttf-corefonts or something like that [05:06] audacious [05:06] zig, are you playing mp3's over a network? [05:06] idk [05:06] but it happens in VLC as well [05:06] zigzags: what is your hardware like? [05:06] zigzags, i have amarok, vlc and mplayer [05:06] memory etc [05:06] coprro thanks bro [05:06] zig: how are you sharing? nfs? over ethernet? [05:06] ferfactor: zigzags was correct [05:07] credit him :) [05:07] when buying a server for a use as mine, is it best to get a rack type server or just any desktop? [05:07] i mount it as CIFS [05:07] i was looking at this one for its price http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=E326-R&cat=SYS ?? [05:07] SoldierX most linux installations come default with ssh (the client) if you want the server you can either call it speciffly or use the meta package "ssh" how do i get started on ubuntu with a nvidia 7900 geforce [05:07] zig: is it a local share? [05:07] thanks :D [05:08] im not sure, do you just mean is it on my own local network? then yes [05:08] root______: so Ubuntu Server has ssh server already installed [05:08] im connected thru eth to my router, the other comp is connected using a wireless setup [05:08] <_786soul> How can I install two OSs on an SD card. Will grub automatically be installed? [05:08] Yes. Not over the internet. CIFS =Common Internet File System [05:08] You should use NFS or samba [05:09] i think i installed the drivers for my 7900 geforce, but i still can only access an extremely low resolution. any help? [05:09] SoldierX actually i'm not sure if ubuntu-server comes with sshd or not. but it's as simple as "sudo apt-get install ssh" on any ubuntu* system [05:09] thanks [05:09] also im a complete noob to linux [05:09] when working with Apache remotly, is it best to setup an ftp client to update your website?? [05:10] to use NFS or samba, do I only need ot change 'cifs' to 'NFS' or 'samba' in the mount command? [05:10] zigzags, i can tell you for mplayer, adding the option --cache [05:10] or does apache handle that? [05:10] you mean an FTP server? [05:10] _786soul on an sd card ? can your system boot from an sd sloot ? [05:10] oops yes, server [05:10] you need to install the NFS or Samba server / client files [05:10] has anyone reset to the default desktop sucessfully in kubuntu? [05:10] you need to install an FTP server [05:10] <_786soul> root_______:Yes I use an eeepc it can boot from the sd card slot [05:11] ok [05:11] <_786soul> How could I get it to work? [05:11] SoldierX: Apache doesn't handle that. Yes an FTP server, or use SFTP (provided by a SSH server) [05:11] zig, let me get you the howto i used a few days ago [05:11] ohh [05:11] sftp = win [05:11] !nfs [05:11] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [05:11] _786soul ah, ok, well any "normal" install should also install a boot loader (grub by default on ubuntu) [05:11] ah f|uke I will try to do that....which do you think is better, NFS, or samba?? ill look at both, but im new to both as well [05:12] is virtualbox difficult to setup? [05:12] no [05:12] Hmm... everytime Synaptic installs something, my computer gets ultraslow [05:12] !install > _786soul [05:12] _786soul, please see my private message [05:12] incredibly easy [05:12] <_786soul> So would it matter if for example I install ubuntu first, then Backtrack 3? Or would I be better off doing it the other way around? [05:12] the server im looking at doesnt have a cd drive, how would I setup initally? via usb? [05:12] is there a step by step installation guide for a nvidia 7900 geforce on linux? [05:12] ubuntu* [05:12] I'd suggest vmware server over virtualbox though if it's for server use [05:12] zigzags: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html [05:12] Is there a way to... tame it? [05:13] zig - use Samba for Windows compatability [05:13] _786soul general rule. most reliable, trouble free, and flexable systems should be installed last [05:13] thanks fluke [05:13] got a question to ask about tweeking a slow ubuntu box [05:13] :( [05:13] np [05:13] hi all [05:13] gunzniper: nvidia-xconfig [05:13] if you have the drivers installed [05:14] zigzags, if you have 800 mhz and you watch over nfs or samba, you shold try mplayer with -cache kBytes and -framedrop options, that shuld do the trick [05:14] how do I restart the indexing daemon? [05:14] wtf [05:14] what does taht mean [05:14] i have a weird problem : make : unset command unknown in kubuntu while running a makefile [05:14] <_786soul> root_______: so are you implying I install Backtrack 3 first? then ubuntu? that makes sense to me I guess? [05:14] _786soul general reasoning behind that is that if one is going to puke, let it puke alone, and not on it's mate. [05:14] gunzniper: system > Administration > Hardware Drivers [05:14] any one good with tweaking slow computers ?? [05:14] gunzniper: also, refrain from saying "wtf" when people are trying to help you.

[06:37] TimeFX: sometimes it's only in ff, sometimes it's all apps. [06:38] hogdog: semi-erotic is for wusses. i go for the hardcore. [06:38] zigzags, ziggys = zigzag papers [06:38] oh sometimes the music hangs for so long that audacious will jump to another player instead of trying to load more of the current song [06:38] I LOVE wicd. not only it is a perfect install, it conflicts with network-manager piece of crap! its written in python though :/ [06:39] i see i havent heardof em but I dont even know how to properly rolla joint. i can but i like bowls, especially since ive made all but 1 of my bowls [06:39] and audacious is still hanging at random-ass intervals [06:39] zigzags, you say that when you transfer a file with what program does it hang at 0% [06:39] ? [06:39] liar, binMonkey... there's no hardcore on youtube [06:40] +irc.coldfront.net [06:40] Azhi_Dahaka exactly.

[06:40] Azhi_Dahaka, you're not youtube [06:41] what sort of a person would smoke joints over cones/bowls? [06:41] 0% what? imjust transferring with nautilus, and it nevr hangs there, only once did it hang when i was trying to look at the shared folder [06:41] also, tube8 owns 'em all [06:41] some sort of animal. [06:41] any ideas on the sound problem? [06:41] the bong is the finest cannabis delivery technology available today [06:41] Azhi_Dahaka: but the kittens, man...the kittens.

[06:42] i tested with multiple files too, and some large ones [06:42] zigzags, did you try to copy a file and play it locally? [06:42] ah, you're a fellow youlolcat visitor [06:42] yeah it worked perfectly [06:42] with 3 files [06:42] i will buy you hopheads smoke if you help me with sound. [06:42] zigzags, maybe someone in #samba knows. sounds like it should be a common issue [06:43] I have a vps set up with an ssh key, everything working fine and dandy. Today I signed up for another vps and would also like to set that up with an ssh key login; however, apparently if I call the key a different name (the first server is using id_rsa, so I named the new one id_rsa_test), I get a Permission Denied (publickey) error. Where am I going wrong? [06:43] its def some stupid network prob, cuz when audacious lags, the network use drops to nothing, or maybe a few kb/s for some internet crap but thats it [06:43] ok ill check it out [06:43] thanks for the help majortool [06:44] that's a weird issue, zigzags [06:44] zigzags, i would doubt it if large files don't hang over a longer period [06:44] I stream movies from XP all the time... :S [06:45] if i mount a share with /etc/fstab using a CIFS type, that is different than installing the samba client and then using Places >> Connect to server... correct?? === Doc|LOLCode is now known as Indoctrine [06:45] ubuntu live cd does a great job autoconfiguring my video card, and i'd like to use the configuration for a non-ubuntu distro. however, xorg.conf is nearly empty. is there a way to extract the configuration X is using? [06:45] Azhi_Dahaka: hogdog, zigzag, any ideas on my sound problem? [06:45] zigzags: fstab is permanent solution [06:45] are you using pulseaudio? [06:45] bin, completely exit out of firefox, then run your video [06:46] i have to do the same with opera after watching youtube, to get any sound to work [06:46] Azhi_Dahaka: no it's alsa. [06:46] zigzags: i've tried that and no luck. [06:46] I had this issue, sound stopped working after playing flash audio (deezer) and then, no luck with sound with Totem or VLC [06:46] zigzags, binMonkey, i had the same issue in gentoo. fixed it by reading the output from firefox -v [06:46] moved to pulseaudio and the error went away [06:47] how do i move to pulseaudio? [06:47] network manager doesn't list any wireless networks on my laptop, and the manager crashes when i play with wireless settings. won't let me hit OK to change the settings either. [06:47] in hardy [06:47] jim_p: what i meant is, is CIFS different from samba [06:47] cuz i as using CIFS prior to SAMBA, but they both skip the same way [06:48] so i dont think its the way i mount the file system [06:48] VonGuard: try wicd. add the repo, update, and it'll take care of any dependencies. === rogan_ is now known as rogan [06:48] zigovr: no i think its not different [06:48] hi, i'm trying to update my system from the main online repository, i think is very (7X) slow, are there problems with the repos [06:48] agh damn [06:49] binMonkey: I followed this thread -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [06:49] gonna try NFS then. are there any other ways to mount?? [06:49] byonix: change the server to another less packed one [06:49] I'm not saying that it would fix your specific issue, but that fixed mine [06:49] jim_p: I use the default one [06:50] Azhi_Dahaka: so pulseaudio is not dependent on hardware/ [06:50] ? [06:50] byonix: change it to one closer to you [06:50] byonix: i am greek and i use a german one [06:50] ok [06:50] zigzags, have you tried to create a local share, then mount it and play a file === unitedpotsmokers is now known as thaigirlshow [06:51] zigzags, try that with both computers [06:52] what do yu mean by local share [06:52] zigzags, try to mount a share at localhost [06:53] i dont get it lol [06:54] zigzags, create a directory in windows like c:\share, share it, then assign it through network neighbourhood to z:\, then try to play a song from z:\ [06:55] zigzags, make a share on the same computer you're trying to play the song from [06:55] hey === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:55] zigzags, test it with both computers [06:55] /etc/init.d/module-init-tools starts with the message: 'log_begin_msg..." * Loading menual drivers...".'

Could someone help please? [08:39] zhuzhixin, I have no idea why that happens, I'd ned to know way more info about your system and previous activity to even begin to guess why that is happening [08:40] can someone tell me where the fix is that's suposed to be here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/173886 [08:40] hischild: I do not use my desktop, almost i do everything with command [08:40] zhuzhixin, Are you in graphic mode or text mode? [08:40] Sammy, you need to tell us a bit more about your system. Which wifi card does it have? [08:40] hmm, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy this is great, but doesn't tell me what to do [08:40] Thanks all. I am in graphic mode, but without file-manager which is nautilus. [08:41] so any idea on when the firefox crashing on loading java/flash bug will be fixed? i think its an issue introduced in 8.10... [08:41] I close the nautilus for its bug on my computer [08:41] zhuzhixin, ok. The graphical background is being controlled by nautilus. [08:41] hischild the card is Atheros AR5007 [08:41] casdf, it wasnt introduced in 8.10 [08:42] csilk: i see. well, i had less issues with it in .04 [08:42] csilk: any suggestions on what to do? [08:42] Sammy, an Atheros AR5007EG by chance? then i would like to point you to --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-5007eg-with-madwifi-on-i386-platform.html === beilabs is now known as Guest32920 [08:42] hischild: yes I know this. so i wonder if i can visit the dialog which when create a launcher by command line [08:42] i tried installing ndiswrapper following the instructions here: http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/ but that didn't work [08:42] there is NO good alarm clocks that work! [08:42] I'm crying inside! [08:42] zhuzhixin, it would open up the very same graphical screen you get by opening it via the cbackground. === jonathan_ is now known as beilabs [08:43] Styles: is that true? [08:43] casdf, sorry I have none, I just totally abandoned firefox yesterday, I won't be using it again until it's fixed [08:43] i get an error message when trying to install ndiswrapper from source [08:43] csilk: mind telling me what you're using then? [08:43] I just close Nautilus. As i know it just a file manager. [08:43] joshzar, it does actually tell you what to do. Please read more carefully what the text says. [08:43] csilk: im on opera atm, dunno if thats optimal [08:43] zackeroo, I'm guessing I can't find any! Kalarm, I can't get to work so... yea [08:43] zhuzhixin, it also controlls your background and sorts. [08:43] casdf, same [08:44] !find kalarm [08:44] Found: kalarm [08:44] hischild: Yes. ^_^ but i do not need the background [08:44] hischild you are my hero thank man... [08:45] Styles: How about Symanaptic do you have its under System -> Administration [08:45] Styles, I too have been looking for something easy to use ... but have not had any real luck ... [08:45] zhuzhixin, Gnome depends on nautilus iirc ..... perhaps a reinstall of nautilus and its packages might fix it for you. [08:45] casdf: i had problem with firefox that every time i would start a you tube video firefox would close completely. flash 10 fixed it for me [08:45] Sammy, i am by no means some1 his hero ... im merely offering my assistance wher ei can [08:45] acp_, I don't have deb, dkpg how can i install .deb files? [08:45] acp_, *synaptic [08:45] I'm trying to ssh into a computer of mine and I keep getting this error Host key verification failed how do I clear the keys?

[08:46] legend2440: no i think i do have flash10 [08:46] ctrl+alt+backspace [08:46] yes like in windows [08:46] Shockwave Flash 10.0 r12 [08:47] Omoikane, in your home folder there is a hidden folder called .ssh. Use Ctrl + H to make it visible. [08:47] <__coredump__> moinsen [08:47] hischild, I read over the text and still don't know what to do to make my network card work [08:47] is it common in all the world? [08:47] stand corrected its synaptic [08:47] Oh, sorry, i don't like nautilus for long time. and i seldom use it [08:47] pure: As in refresh a folder in Ubuntu? [08:47] pure what? [08:47] pure: F5 works, if your folder doesn't automatically refresh. [08:48] oh okay, all off you is good [08:48] Привет всем!!! [08:48] pure you do ctrl+alt+backspace? did that work? [08:49] Omoikane, then you can remove the offending key in known_hosts [08:49] Styles: dpkg -i but first you have to go to there site and get the package [08:49] joshzar, the first part of the text talks about which packages are needed to make certain cards work. === croppa_ is now known as croppa [08:49] joshzar, it is under New b43 and b43-legacy Drivers [08:49] Hello [08:49] hischild I opened it in gedit and it's almost unreadable.

Its the way that a computer is identified via SSH. [08:50] hischild but how do I tell which bit of it is the offending key? [08:51] and how to end task? [08:51] Omoikane, if you connect it tells you which key is the offending one. You have to count from the top down and start with 0 being the first one.

[09:00] hi every one [09:00] can i install gui mode for server edition ??? [09:00] ? [09:01] greets gents. any applications on ubuntu that can make me download youtube vids? [09:01] i had use ctrl+alt+bckspce and the result is my desktop turn off immedietly, like restart [09:01] sound stopped working in Firefox for flash movies [09:01] pure: that's xserver restarting. very normal [09:01] I'm using the non-free flash plugin, I've tried reinstalling it, restarting X and rebooting [09:02] sound works in other applications [09:02] but all of my running application is lost [09:02] robertw__: do you use pulseaudio? if so try installing libflash-support [09:02] or so [09:02] mgo: no, I don't - when I installed pulseaudio was off by default [09:03] If I go to system > administration > Login Window, and then to the Local tab, it gives an option to set the position of the window, but both x and y coordinates are capped at 100.. and it moves them in pixels instead of %'s. Is there a fix for this? [09:03] could it be firefox _thinks_ I'm using pulseaudio? [09:03] Xubuntu is so moody. There are days when it reads my router just fine, and other times it just doesn't work. But when I use Windows XP it works just fine. What the heck's the problem? Why does something so simple as connecting to the internet such a hassle? [09:03] I'm wondering if anyone knows how to "reboot" my sound system, in Ubuntu. Every once-in-awhile audio in Amarok & VLC will just stop. The only solution (thus far) is to reboot my laptop. Does anyone have a better, quicker solution? [09:03] robertw__: no unless you install libflashsupport flash plugin allways tries to use alsa directly [09:03] robertw__: sure you haz no pulse? [09:04] it should be enabled by default === nick_ is now known as nich^ [09:04] $ ps ax | grep pulse -> nothing [09:04] ianRG, is any way to refresh my desktop? [09:04] mgo: it either wasn't, or went way when I installed XFCE and xubuntu-defaults [09:05] pure: xserver restart closes the running applications afaik [09:05] pure: and there's no way to reopen them. unless they were background processes, you've lost your unsaved work. [09:06] pure: merely speaking from experience here, i`m not fundi [09:06] hi, i was wondering if there are any tools designed to for making you own "services". something that can restart a software if it disconnects [09:06] robertw__: if you dont use pulse, it might just be that the alsa device is blocked by something elese [09:06] else [09:07] im newbe, so i guess is like the way right click+refresh on windws [09:07] mgo: nothing else is running, and if I e.g. start Kaffeine I get sound, or start Rhythmbox I get sound [09:08] robertw__: hm, what output plugins do those use? [09:08] alsa? === SoulSlayer is now known as anewbie [09:08] maybe you have installed libflashsupport and thats why flash doesnt try alsa.. [09:08] mgo: Kaffeine uses auto, I set it to ALSA and it works [09:08] i see [09:09] any suggest to chose mp3 player? [09:09] mgo: I've done apt-get remove --purge libflashsupport - I did install it but only after the problem started [09:10] i see [09:11] misteralexander you could prolly rmmod and then modprobe your osund module [09:11] koshar1: You might as well be speaking latin there . . . could you break that down for me? LOL. [09:12] got it! I create a .asoundrc to swap my stereo channels around [09:12] created* [09:12] removing it gets me sound in flash again [09:13] misteralexander if you know the name of the module your sound hardware loads, (it will be listed if you run lsmod) you can unload that module/ rmmod and then reload the module /modprobe [09:14] koshar1: Ah-ha . . . okay, I understand that. I'll give that a try . . . THANKS! [09:14] you will need to use sudo === sean is now known as Guest76955 [09:16] how install grub in scsi hard disk [09:16] anybody know much about grub?

I made an ext2 partition on it and then I used rsync to copy everything from /boot to the sd card. Now I want to install the MBR on the SD card so I can boot off of that instead. [09:18] Spudz: how's that? [09:18] Spudz: sorry /etc/init,d/networking restart [09:18] spidla: ikonia: thanks [09:18] Spudz: I type slow ;) [09:19] MTecknology well, it should be treated as any other disk [09:19] MTecknology: just be aware you bios has to be able to boot from the SD card first [09:19] MTecknology: is that possible ? [09:19] it can [09:19] ikonia, when use "root hd0" it say unrecognizde device string [09:19] zllang: are you in the grub shell ?

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [09:21] koshar1, i try [09:21] kc8pxy: Personally, I'd wait 9 days until 8.10 is released or just get the beta now and trust it will be reliable [09:21] zllang do you see your disk in the dmesg ? [09:21] If I go to system > administration > Login Window, and then to the Local tab, it gives an option to set the position of the login window, but both x and y coordinates are capped at 100.. and it moves them in pixels instead of %'s.

[09:24] spidla, excuse me what mean? [09:24] ikonia: it can't bind because the server disallows simple bind, and the client is trying to use simple bind, I can't change the server configuration but the client [09:24] kc8pxy well, if you want to support the graphics card I'd advise the desktop version unless you have more than say 16 gig ofr ram installed [09:24] MTecknology: it's going to be a production box, I'd rather not roll the dice, and it's needed ASAP.

[09:34] also will that work in Inrepid ibex [09:34] MTecknology ok, so we need to find out what device your sd card is [09:34] will that work in intrepid? === ntinos_19 is now known as ntinos_ [09:34] Deadboys: ALL interpid help is in +1, no intrepid help here [09:34] !ibex > Deadboys [09:34] Deadboys, please see my private message [09:34] ikonia: I have it opened w/ fdisk [09:34] ikonia: touch and find is more likeely to be right.. been there, never found the needle in that haystack.

[09:35] yup [09:35] Deadboys: then wait it out [09:35] Deadboys: intepis is not officially released so is not officially supported in the official room. [09:35] seriously can you just forget the rules for one second and specify yes or no [09:35] MTecknology: ok so what device /dev/sd* is it ? [09:35] well then pm me [09:35] Deadboys: no [09:35] ikonia: it's mounted to /boot now [09:35] Deadboys: try later on when someone is in there [09:35] Deadboys: please ask for support in #ubuntu+1 [09:36] /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /boot type ext2 (rw) [09:36] MTecknology: what DEVICE FILE is it [09:36] sorry, it's late and i haven't been sleeping much - I'm kinda tired :P [09:36] MTecknology: right so before you sync grub put an entry in your device.map file on your boot partition [09:37] MTecknology: putting the entry in your device.map file will make it a static map so that a removable device like your sd card is will be ok [09:37] ikonia: should I map to hd0 or 1? [09:38] MTecknology soemthing not already in use int hat file [09:38] in that file [09:38] k [09:38] hi guys. i run a command to check my load cycle count and send it to a txt file using >>. how do i make it add a couple of spaces everytime i run it?

[10:28] edlv, middle mouse button on the background [10:28] hi [10:28] No DHCP offers received, No working neases in persistent <-- this is what i saw with sudo dhclient [10:28] jointman, then there's no dhcp server active on the network [10:28] i want to move from wubi installtion to real installtion [10:28] hischild: what should i do? [10:28] jointman, i dont know what your situation is ... [10:28] hischild: what info do you need? [10:29] jointman, the whole situation and what's wrong [10:29] so im trying to build a vanilla kernel to run on my phone i have the screen and keyboard patches but i have no clue how to setup a toolchain for the arm architechture, can anyone tell me the first step? [10:29] hischild: do you mind if i PM you so its easier? [10:29] jointman, go ahead. Thanks for asking. [10:29] ok. sorry i got so excited before. i wanted to add a blank line after i ran this command. is there a better way than this to do it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/60431/ [10:29] BruteFrce: is this a toolchain on an arm for an arm, or is this an a toolchain on another arch FOR an arm [10:29] koshar1: yes. [10:30] BruteFrce: is this an ubuntu toolchain, or a generic toolchain [10:30] BruteFrce→ wow, that would be very system-on-chip related. there are some good books on the subject, try asking in #edeb [10:30] hi [10:30] BruteFrce→ i mean #edev [10:30] can i ask some questions about a webcam? [10:30] okonia i thought we talked about this... [10:30] hischild: middle button not working [10:31] BruteFrce: respond to the questions if you want advice [10:31] yo yo yo [10:31] BruteFrce: is it on an arm for an arm, or on another arch for an arm, is it an ubuntu toolchain or a generic one, what host are you using (hostOS) [10:31] magnetron i have been reading alot, everything says i ned this custom toolchain first so thats what i am doing [10:31] ActionParsnip1: take a look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/60431/ [10:31] BruteFrce→ #edev is the channel for you [10:31] ikonia i dont want your advice, for the 5th time please leave me alone, thanks. [10:32] i have a microdia webcam,,, [10:32] If I go to system > administration > Login Window, and then to the Local tab, it gives an option to set the position of the login window, but both x and y coordinates are capped at 100.. and it moves them in pixels instead of %'s. Is there a fix for this? [10:32] hah. [10:32] BruteFrce: then this is nothing to do with ubuntu if you can't respond to teh questions as we can't determain your host and target system, please join a more appropraite channel [10:32] binMonkey: is it good? [10:32] edlv, i'm not sure how to get it then. [10:32] ekiga has a video... but in skype ther isn't a video there is only a green screen [10:32] binMonkey: instead of /home/rich1 you can put ~/ [10:33] ActionParsnip1: it works but i wanted to know if there's a better way to do it. [10:33] magnetron im doing this on an ubuntu box, #htc-linuc is even more specific but no one is alive there or the channel you mentioned [10:33] binMonkey: if it works, dont fix it [10:33] cbrodehl: is skype set to use the correct video device? [10:33] Hey guys! I am trying to install Intrepid Beta, and Xorg refuses to load. Does anyone know how to access the expert installer (if it exists)? [10:33] BruteFrce: what arch is the host, and what is the target arch, is it an ubuntu or a generic toolchain you require ? [10:33] ActionParsnip1: thanks for the help!!!!! [10:33] ikonia, i am answering the questions just not your, again dont address me anymore. [10:33] i hope so... it is set to /dev/video0 [10:33] binMonkey: nice scripting skills [10:34] ikonia: just give up, that guy is a fag [10:34] Where are my bookmarks in Thunar? [10:34] cbrodehl: compare it to ekiga to see whats different [10:34] but camorama could load video device /dev/video0 [10:34] mgolisch: thhats uncalled for [10:34] They seem to have disappeared. [10:34] BruteFrce: You are hilarious. You have no chance of getting any help on this channel with the way you behave. [10:34] i think ther is a problem with v4l2 [10:34] Ohmu_: guys just leave it please. === johnson is now known as Guest60799 [10:34] !ohmy | mgolisch [10:34] mgolisch: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:34] ActionParsnip1: i'm learning and it's cool. [10:34] could it be? [10:34] BruteFrce→ your ubuntu box is working just fine, we can't provide support for your from-scratch ARM builds. good luck. [10:34] Anyone use Thunar as their file manager? [10:35] Xavura, yes. [10:35] <_saw> Why isn't openoffice3 in repositories jet ? [10:35] Xavura: i used to, then i just ditched file managers and used cli [10:35] I'll head out and try a few more tweaks to see if I can fix it, good luck in here [10:35] i mean seriously obviously the host system is a regular x86 arch and im building for the phone, which has the arm arch [10:35] hischild: Where are all my bookmarks? I have bookmarks for FTP etc. but I can't find them [10:35] i want to move from wubi installtion to real installtion [10:35] _saw: it may be on a different repo you dont have [10:35] BruteFrce it is not obvious your host is x86 0- hence why I was asking [10:35] ikonia: I think its needed. Otherwise he will think it is something personal. If he hears it from 3 places he may learn. I don't feed trolls. Thats my last word on the topic. [10:35] BruteFrce, the problem is that your target system isn't ubuntu specific. The host system is of no concern, you could even run windows for it [10:35] BruteFrce: this is beyond the scope of this channel, so I rquest you drop the topic [10:36] hischild: Like if you go to Places > Bookmarks, why aren't they in Thunar? === xota_ is now known as xota [10:36] Hey guys! I am trying to install Intrepid Beta, and Xorg refuses to load. Does anyone know how to access the expert installer (if it exists)? [10:36] binMonkey: if you put that in a script in /usr/bin you can call it anytime you like [10:36] hischild: his host is relevant as it's going to be a cross compile, hence why I was trying to get that info, as a straight and cross compiled toolchain are different [10:36] !ibex > ihtarlik [10:36] ihtarlik, please see my private message [10:36] ikonia no its not past the topic, im using an ubuntu dstro, im sking questions regaurding the gcc that came on my ubuntu install [10:36] <_saw> ActionParsnip, I tried like this apt-get install openoffice.org3. Is this correct ? [10:37] ActionParsnip1: sorry to bother you, but what does the -e after echo do? it's some kind of switch, right? [10:37] BruteFrce your asking about cross compiling toolchains, which is beyond the scope of this channel, please drop it, [10:37] _saw: try tab completing. If its not there then try finding another repo that it is on and add it to /etc/apt/sources/list [10:37] I'm using vacation.pl for my postfix installation. The problem is that the autoreply cache is never emptied it seems. This implies that an autoresponse is only sent to a user once. How can I prevent this from happening, and clear old cache etc ? [10:37] binMonkey: man echo [10:37] <_saw> thanks [10:37] ActionParsnip1: thakns! [10:37] Hey guys I have a Mobile Broadband USB stick (E160 HSDPA USB Stick). It works fine in windows, but under ubuntu nothing happens. I have scoured the internet and forums for answers and it should be configurable from network manager, I cannot seem to do it in there. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 any ideas how to get this to work ? [10:38] milligan_: what are you using to enable/disable the script [10:38] dusty_: what does lsusb say? [10:38] ikonia, postfix checks the vacation table upon receiving email. [10:38] milligan_: so you've enabled it by default [10:39] ActionParsnip1, I will have to unplug it from here ( and disconnect ) then plug it into my ubuntu machine, while i do that is there anything else you would like me to run ? [10:39] ikonia, I don't follow. Postfix will send the email to the perl script, if the user has an active vacation status. [10:39] dusty_: use pastebin for the output [10:39] milligan_: yes, but how is teh active status being set [10:39] dusty_: lsusb and lspci [10:39] ikonia, through postfixadmin... a webbased interface. [10:40] milligan_: the reason I asked is that I've seen teh cache not get cleared when a user removes the status but it doesn't actually remove it [10:40] ikonia: Your answer triggered me to examine the /etc/init.d/module-init-tools shell script's source text. 'Manual drivers' simply are all drivers stored in /etc/modules. [10:40] my 5.1channel speakers arent working. only front speakers working. help please. it was working previously before i installed ubuntu. [10:40] bullgard4 so "manually loaded" ones, that makes sense [10:40] hello? [10:40] edlv: what sound card? [10:40] Hi, I want to learn more about the u32 extension in iptables and tc but can't find any proper documentation out there. Could someone please point me in the right direction [10:40] does anyone can help me with my webcam? [10:40] microdia? [10:40] rampageoberon http://www.netfilter.com [10:40] actionParsnip i wont be able to pastebin, but i can type it out, ill be right back. [10:41] ActionParsnip1: thanks for the help. i really appreciate it. === automatix is now known as ortsvorsteher [10:41] edlv: run lspci to give the hardware, then paste the single line for the device [10:41] ikonia: couldn't find much about u32 on there unfortunately [10:41] intel. [10:41] binMonkey: np man, you might help me one day [10:41] cbrodehl, whats the problem? [10:41] rampageoberon try #netfilter or #iptables channel [10:41] thanks ikonia [10:41] anybody here use screen?

[10:43] rampageoberon, my screen blinks . how can i stop it in screen [10:43] !ask | Xavura [10:43] Xavura: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [10:43] roxan: I asked like 3 times. [10:43] ikonia, it's a problem in postfixadmin? It doesn't empty the cache upon setting a new away message? [10:43] hello, im using ubuntu intrepid, and was presented with a question asking if i wanted a combined status and logout button. i chose yes, but it spat out an error. any way on manually trying to do it? === jklyekai_ is now known as jklyekai [10:43] milligan_ I have seen that [10:43] roxan: what application are you running? [10:43] milligan_: that doesn't mean it's your problem [10:44] ikonia, it does seem like it. [10:44] milligan_: the guys on postfixadmin support know about it [10:44] is 4vl2 the reason why skype is only green=? [10:44] MiLK_MaN, for intrepid i think there is another channel [10:44] milligan_: maybe check with them, see if it is the same issue [10:44] rampageoberon, like terminal [10:44] ikonia, cheers [10:44] roxan: i tried #ubuntu-intrepid, noone is there [10:44] ahh i see the topic [10:45] isnt it ubuntu+1 ?

To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [10:45] no one here, to help me? [10:45] roxan: no idea, doesn't blink for me [10:45] rampageoberon, instead of beeps my screen blinks. [10:46] check your terminal profile roxan [10:46] i think no one could help me with my webcam? [10:46] http://www.medibuntu.org/repository.php <--- still working with 8.10 ? [10:46] milligan, still worked for me even though it gave an error. [10:46] if i make a user's shell be a script that establishes an ssh connection to another machine, authenticating using ssh keys, would logging on as this user be equivalent to performing the ssh connection manually? [10:46] guys, is there a better channel to ask about setting up a wireless access point? I happen to be using ubuntu, but I guess it's not really a ubuntu specific thing... [10:47] Ohmu_ ##networking ? [10:47] Ohmu_: All the network gurus are in ##linux :P [10:47] ikonia: thx [10:47] Ohmu_, perhaps ask the question? there might be an easy solution ... [10:47] my laptop's CPU temp rises up to 73 deg Celsius when compiling.... is that normal???? [10:48] Xavura: thx [10:48] in evolution i will get a sound when new mails come in. how do i modify this? === tony_ is now known as `TonY [10:48] Guillem__ cpu is busy - so it will get hot [10:48] Guillem__, mine went up to 83 .... it's rather intensive for ur laptop .. [10:48] hischild: the problem is I don't understand enough about the topic to even follow the internet guides. I really want to learn. But it's all too much for me. I need some help on the basics. [10:48] Guillem__, its cpu consuming task [10:49] ortsvorsteher: try gconf-editor if there is no setting in evolution itself [10:49] i try mgolisch [10:49] Ohmu_, aight, so what are you trying to accomplish? [10:49] hischild: I'm getting internet thru a usb modem thingy. I want to share thru my wifi, so my housemates can get it. [10:50] ikonia, hischild , roxan, I don't remember it getting so high... the peak has been around 79-80. At which temp should I get worried? [10:50] Ohmu_ so you wantt o make your ubuntu laptop a wirless ad-hoc access point [10:50] Guillem__ you shouldn't your bios should kick in if there is a problem [10:50] ActionParsnip1, Ok back, got the ifno. [10:50] Guillem__, your computer takes care of it. [10:50] Guillem, what temperature is that for? [10:50] ikonia: exactly [10:50] dusty__: hit me [10:50] Guillem__, bios should kick in [10:50] Guillem__, what temperature is that for? [10:50] ikonia, hischild , roxan, Oh, OK. [10:51] ljsoftnet, is CPU [10:51] Ohmu_ there is a doc for that on https://help.ubuntu.com but I don't think it's %100 stable/accurate and it depends on the card model [10:51] <`TonY> hello all [10:51] ActionParsnip1, Bus 002 device 002: id 12d1:1003 Huawei Technologies Co, LTD. E220 HSDPA Modem <-- that is the output of lsusb, lspci mentions nothing about the device, when i do wvdialconf it finds the modem on /dev/ttyUSB0 and config is written /etc/wvdial.conf [10:51] my Nvidia GPU is stabilized around 60 degrees because of compiz. [10:51] Ohmu_, its pretty simple actuaylly. click your nm applet and choose create a nework connection [10:51] ActionParsnip1, I also see info about modem usb in dmesg. [10:52] any idea if the webcam microdia? [10:52] in skype online green screen [10:52] but in ekiga a good video [10:52] dusty__: as long as you have info about the device we can websearch [10:52] ikonia, hischild , roxan, I'm using a kernel from backports (or proposed, I'm not sure). If the kernel was wrong, I can trust the BIOS so will shut down the machine, Isn't it? [10:52] Guillem__, in my CPU manual for Pentium 4 it recommends to limit it to 70 degrees, and its suggested temperature is 32 [10:52] ActionParsnip1, i am doing that just now, let me know if you find anything interesting [10:52] roxan: have done. And other machiens can see my box. but they cant eg ping google.com or fetch a webpage. and the ips look fishy. 169.254.blah iirc [10:52] Guillem__ thats down to your bios - not the kernel [10:53] Guillem__, the bios should not be affected by your kernel [10:53] anyone know how to restart the usb subsystem ? [10:53] So the kernel does not take any decision about cooling, then.... [10:53] Ohmu_, you need to seup ip manually or use dhcp server in ur system [10:53] after my laptop wakes up usb won;t sork [10:53] Guillem__ if it gets more than 32 degrees it will lower its processing speed [10:54] http://www.medibuntu.org/repository.php <--- still working with 8.10 ? [10:54] Guillem__, the kernel can try to affect those decisions, but the ultimate choice is up to the bios [10:54] roxan: which ip do you mean? The ip for each machine that will use the network? [10:54] HELP! Please..... I am new to linux I have downloaded "pharosc 8.4 tat but how do I install it?? [10:54] hi [10:54] there's a beep sound when i shutdown on restart my comp. how can i turn this off? [10:55] how to pass the grub prompt output to any file [10:55] spanther: seems so - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repositories [10:55] dusty__: i need your info dude [10:55] ibex coming around end of this month right? [10:55] ikonia, hischild , roxan, ljsoftnet, I thank you very much. [10:55] daren, did you download a .deb ? [10:56] not sure [10:56] Guillem__ ok [10:56] yes debasys [10:56] what's the extension? [10:56] debasys: absolutely [10:56] I will have a look at what it's called [10:56] !intrepid | debasys [10:56] debasys: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu [10:56] ActionParsnip, bimberi :) [10:56] debasys: if hardy works 100% for you then i wouldnt upgrade as theirs no reason to [10:56] Ohmu_, you need to use some private ips [10:57] the file is just called "pharosc_8.4" [10:57] ActionParsnip1, debasys i feel intrepid is faster [10:57] roxan: theres 2 housemates. So my ubuntu box needs to create 2 private ips? How to do this? [10:57] ActionParsnip, yeah though it works fine, i am having hanging issues with my laptop's touchpad/keyboard since ages [10:57] roxan: might be slower for other users [10:57] daren, where did you download it? Do they have any install instruction for linux [10:58] roxan, then gr8, coz i have only 512 MB RAM on a celeron laptop [10:58] how to pass the grub prompt output to any file [10:58] I just need a file like winrar or winzip [10:58] apt-get install zip [10:58] hag on I will get the address [10:58] apt-get install unzip [10:58] !rar | daren [10:58] daren: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [10:58] daren, use the 'file' command on your file [10:59] apt-get install rar [10:59] Hi guys. I have a question. How do you do "ipconfig/all" in linux? i know "ipconfig" command but it doesnt show me a Gateway. Anyone? plz. ty. :) [10:59] daren, what distro are you running [10:59] daren: heath|OTG: sudo apt-get unrar [10:59] ndo: ifconfig -a [10:59] After a fresh install of Ubuntu, my network device (eth0) worked flawlessly, but after I have restarted just once, it fails to work. I cannot even ping my own router anymore. What can I do to get it working again? === automatix is now known as ortsvorsteher [10:59] ndo, netstat -rn [10:59] I got it from here [10:59] http://www.vlsitechnology.org/html/linux_help1.html [10:59] daren, use the 'file' command [11:00] Ohmu_, i think you need to read some tutorial. its little complicated if you dont know the basics [11:00] TheFiller: if you run ifconfig eth0 does it show a valid ip address? [11:00] e-frame: ty [11:00] roxan: ty [11:00] TheFiller, try to turn off your rounter for 2 minutes and turn it on again [11:00] its a tar file [11:00] oh what you got is a .tar.gz file, which you could have figured out using the 'file' command i mentioned previously [11:00] however, the filename you gave us is NOT the filename thats on the site.. you didn't include the .tar.gz when you told us [11:00] ActionParsnip1: Yes, both IPv4 and IPv6 [11:00] tar zxvf .tar.gz [11:00] what is wrong when programs in ubuntu are starting up but stop that after a while? [11:00] TheFiller: are you using static ip? [11:01] ljsoftnet: I don't think it's a router problem, since I can access the internet via this computer over this very same router [11:01] idefix, which program? [11:01] ActionParsnip1: Yes [11:01] roxan: how to find one? sorry for being hopeless but I'm a bit lost here. [11:01] [11:01] daren: you can extract the file using 'tar -zxvf filename' and then go into the subdirectory that's created, and compile the source. usually the steps are: ./configure ; make ; sudo make install [11:01] however... [11:01] camorama webcam viewer but also jin chess player [11:01] TheFiller, ah ok [11:01] Ohmu_, area 3 machines ubuntu? [11:01] each step has to work properly, so its better to say ./configure && make && sudo make install [11:01] thats the simplest way of doing it, but each package should have its own instructions [11:01] TheFiller: well if you cant ping your router you have a bad ip / subnet, the routers port is down, the router is off, the cable has a break or the computers interface is down [11:02] any link about huawei e220 in ubuntu hardy ? [11:02] I think I have it extracted to my desktop but I cant find out what to do with it now? [11:02] roxan: no, mine is ubuntu. others are a macbook and an xp [11:02] i also recommend reading up on how to package a .tar.gz install into a .deb [11:02] roxan? camorama webcam viewer but also jin chess player [11:02] i want to move from wubi installtion to real installtion [11:02] you get the benefit of an easy uninstall and managing the package from apt [11:02] Ohmu_, do you know how to setup ip on xp and mac? [11:02] ActionParsnip1: The router works perfectly, I'm using it to send this message to you right now using a windows PC. I guess it's more of a configuration problem. [11:03] idefix, you mean? [11:03] e-frame [11:03] Anybody that could help me with setting port forwarding under ubuntu? I need to forward traffic to transparent Squid3 proxy. I know Squid is running ok because when i set firefox to connect through proxy ip:[Localhost] port:[3128] it works according to what i set in /etc/squid3/squid.conf (dehashing and hashing http_access allow localhost). I tried with "iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128", but it doesnt se [11:03] e-frame, I use that one [11:03] roxan: I was hoping to use dhcp on ubuntu box, so I wouldn't need to worry about that. [11:03] is there an easy way to move the login window so that it doesn't block a picture I put as the login picture? (I just want to move it to the lower left corner) [11:03] roxa, the two programs that don't work anymore [11:03] roxan [11:03] Guillem__: firefox runs flawlessly with huawei e220, but pidgin not. [11:03] brb [11:03] e-frame, oh. I've not tested that [11:03] roxan: I don't know how to set ip on mac or xp, no [11:04] damn,, it is twelve o'clocl already [11:04] hi, how can i see if an ethernet device has a 100 or 1000 mbit connection? [11:04] ActionParsnip1, any luck ?

[11:05] ActionParsnip: /etc/network/interfaces seems like it is configured (I have given it a static IP), sudo ifup eth0 tells me it is already configured and it worked before the last restart. ifconfig -a shows the device, with both a static IPv4 and IPv6 address, but a very high number of dropped packages.

[11:09] ActionParsnip1: pidgin is the one [11:09] Guillem__: i think so [11:10] e-frame: "Guillem__: e--frame I have to set firefox "online", and also happens the same with evolution" .... I saw that and figured it was an issue [11:10] e-frame: hence the link [11:11] ActionParsnip1: read, know what we are talkin about, then give the relevant answer [11:11] its a simple mistake...chillax winstan :D [11:11] what happens behind the screens when you have a starting up indication in your panel? [11:11] inside the folder it has : aliance-bin-gif-html-magic-synopsys-xcurcit-help.html-license.txt-readme.txt * revisions.txt ???

[11:14] ok, I'm going back to windows... [11:14] when i try maximise flash movies (eg youtube) it goes fullscreen for a second then goes back, cant get it to go fulscreen.. do you think this would be java related? [11:14] koz it was working [11:15] e-frame, probably to force a dummy network interface so the machine thinks is always online. Not sure, though [11:15] e-frame, I don't use pidgin when I use the modem.... [11:15] e-frame: usful is good :) [11:15] so I've not tested :( [11:16] i'm using xubuntu and have installed a gtk2 theme by unzipping it into the ~/.themes folder. now how do i start using it? i can't find the theme manager [11:16] you'r not easily impressed, are you? [11:16] e-frame: so with pidgin yu have to make your account online each time yu load it up? [11:16] I'm going back to WINDOWS!!

[11:18] koshar1, its very easy [11:18] ActionParsnip1: pidgin cannot connect with the modem [11:19] idefix¬ usually means something is starting up. [11:19] koshar1, , edit, background and preferences [11:19] so what happens and what does not when that just goes away after a while? [11:19] e-frame: try making a script to make the modem dance before loading pidgin [11:19] I have adsl 5/512 connection, and it disconnects at least 1 time a day, the command "sudo /etc/networking restart" doesn't help at all, restarting the router sometimes helps, but all I can do is restart ubuntu. what can I do ?

[11:20] e-frame: you need to trigger the modem to dial before you do anything [11:20] i want to move from wubi installtion to real installtion [11:20] what does it say is starting up [11:20] roxan: no, but the command sudo /etc/networking restart should have allowed my connection to go up again without restarting ubuntu, like "service network restart" works in redhat [11:20] nnull, so then what is wrong? how can I debug? [11:20] e-frame: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+faq/96 [11:20] ActionParsnip1: of course yes, i know that [11:21] ActionParsnip1: u just don't get what i mean [11:21] knowledge is power [11:21] i need to run a script at each run but with user privilidges, how can i do it? [11:21] MaximB1, check your routes [11:21] idefix¬ dunno, id use htop "sudo apt-get install htop" have a look through your processes see whats having a whinge [11:21] e-frame: you have a usb modem that must dial to get a connection. Its not connected so your apps go offline? [11:21] MaximB1, does it gives any error sudo /etc/init.d//networking restart [11:21] heath|OTG: how ?

[11:23] roxan: no errors, I just can't ping to nothing , not by ip and not by name [11:23] idefix¬ yea its worth the whole 1second it takes to install imo. [11:23] ActionParsnip1: the modem works, i can ping anywhere, but to browse, i have to untick the "work offline" in firefox, because firefox always run in "offline mode". [11:23] MaximB1, do you get any error while restarting [11:23] no [11:23] ActionParsnip1: and pidgin can't connect to server [11:23] ActionParsnip1: so the connection is established [11:23] nnull but you can damage your system by installing junk [11:24] ActionParsnip1: got it ? [11:24] if it is junk that is [11:24] I cant detect my usb modem.Please help me guys [11:24] idefix¬ trust me htop wont break anything [11:24] ActionParsnip1: i think it's bug about firefox or network manager [11:24] idefix¬ its tiny.. its like a little utlilty [11:24] Sammy, lsusb should show the model [11:24] idefix¬ or just use top.. [11:24] ActionParsnip1: and i'm trying to find out the solution [11:24] htop reminds me a bit of DOS [11:25] e-frame: yeah, are the pidgin settings correct?

[11:45] veros: only you can decide that [11:46] veros: all distros have advantages and disadvantages [11:46] veros: if you think you're pro try gentoo or slackware [11:46] veros: if you want to become a pro, i would start off with ubuntu. if you are currently a pro and want to setup a server, i suggest debian. if youre a pro and you want to setup a user workstation (ie: desktop), i suggest ubuntu with landscape. and no, i dont work for or anybody affiliated with Canonical [11:47] Hi could some one let me know if i download the new version of ubuntu today and install, will it update to the stable version in 9 days, or is it best to wait 9 days thanks in advance.

Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:53] my brother just moved to ubuntu from windows (congrats!) but he's having trouble [11:53] basically we have a Western Digital usb hard disk [11:53] that it recognized and mounted automatically (through HAL, i'm guessing) [11:53] but suddenly today it won't do it [11:53] it says it cannot mount the volume [11:54] because he's not superuser [11:54] hi there, just installed wine, i can get to drive_c from the terminal, but not the file browser, its not listing .wine in my home/user dir, any ideas please? [11:54] sawyer_: can you pastebin the exact error message please [11:54] !wine [11:54] 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. [11:54] now, this happened with an SD card but i wrote him a shell script that mounts it and put it in the netbook remix interface as a button in the menu [11:54] dear thanks for help me.

[11:57] sawyer_: that link doesn't seem to be working could you try a different pastebin site please. I will also need the output of sudo fdisk -l when the drive is plugged in as well as its model [11:58] ziroday, my brother took out the SD card and now the hard disk is recognized again and automatically mounted [11:58] Can any of you point me in the way of some decent software to get access point functionallity, it needs to do at least WPA1 for encryption [11:58] sawyer_: that is most odd [11:58] i think the problem starts with the SD card...

[12:00] which order do you want them? [12:00] sawyer_: if they automount thats fine, any order will do [12:00] okay...

[12:02] ziroday, this is weird [12:02] hi, i'm trying to set my eth0 speed to 100 but it won't change from 10 Mbps when using mii-tool or ethtool. since i have a 100/10 internet connection, this is a loss to me. need advice [12:02] i think i'm starting to grasp what's going on here [12:03] sawyer_: care to explain [12:03] yeah sure, sorry [12:03] if i enter the SD card first it recognizes [12:03] then the HD (elements), it doesn't [12:03] but [12:03] if i switch the order (first Elemented - the HD), then the SD card - it shows the elements but not the SD [12:04] which means that it recognizes the first but not the second - whatever it may be [12:04] sawyer_: that is odd, please try to keep your responses on one line. Did you manage to pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l [12:04] yeah okay i'll do that now [12:04] magnetron: i think it is not in your control it can only be done from the ISP's end [12:05] well, so much for sound tonight. thanks for your help roxan. [12:05] indian_munnda→ i'm speaking of the mode used in my NIC. auto-negotiation is disabled. [12:05] ziroday, fdisk -l what? [12:06] each one? [12:06] magnetron, i dont think you have more than 10mpbs internet connection? [12:06] . [12:06] sawyer_: no, you just need to type in sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the output [12:06] i want to duplicate my whole system over to new drive.. how can i do this? and especially the part about grub [12:06] sawyer_: note the sudo at the front [12:06] magnetron; your ethernet card says it supports 100 in ethtool output? [12:06] Is there a command to see how big a file is? [12:06] WDC: 'du' [12:06] rodimus→ i have a 100Mbps internet connection [12:06] WDC: do /path/to/file [12:07] stankils→ yes [12:07] zamba: take a look at a program called clonezilla [12:07] Jim_p - are you there ? [12:07] zamba: ActionParsnip1 Thanks! [12:07] WDC: du -h is better (-h == human readable) [12:07] roxan→ i have a 100Mbps internet connection [12:07] ActionParsnip1:thanks [12:07] lliurex [12:07] ziroday: not a package in ubuntu repo? [12:08] ziroday: ah, i see what it is and does [12:08] magnetron, that must be your network speed [12:09] zamba: yes basically its an open source version of norton ghost [12:09] roxan→ no, i pay for 100Mbps downstream [12:09] ziroday: hm, ok.. [12:09] have you used that word 'lother' I suggested to add to English language the other day? [12:09] roxan: just wanted to let you know that my bridge is working again. I removed network-manager (or network-admin) whatever that POS is called. :P added my etho settings and all is well. [12:09] is it recommended to run swap off a ssd? [12:09] !offtopic > idefix [12:09] idefix, please see my private message [12:09] network-manager should really work off the config files instead of trying to take things over. it just creates confusion. [12:09] jron_, nice will it work after the reboot then? [12:10] magnetron, you might not be getting a 100mbps from other end too. [12:10] roxan: i'll find out in min. brb =) [12:10] roxan→ exactly, but my CARD is set to 10Mbps [12:10] magnetron, try calling your isp too [12:10] magnetron, what is the medium of your internet? [12:11] ActionParsnip1: Whoa, it works now, after I have uninstalled the network manager... I guess it messed up with my network configuration [12:11] help... running mplayer or totem on a quicktime video it opens and i get no error but video never starts [12:11] roxan→ but the problem is on my end. in the network card. this is a straight 100base-Tx to the apartment, fiber to the house [12:11] zamba: you might want to read this regarding swap http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ssd_write_limit === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire [12:11] ziroday, http://pastebin.com/d24a71c50 [12:11] i can also move videos position within its timeframe and i see that part of the clip but it never continues [12:12] TheFiller: you could use another like wifi-radar maybe [12:12] magnetron, media converter could be problem too [12:12] roxan→ it's just a cable, no converters or hubs or routers [12:12] hi, is there a way to get commands to run on shutdown? Like /etc/rc.local, but for shutdown [12:12] well you need a media converter between fiber and ethernet [12:12] emorris, yes [12:13] roxan→ but i don't have fiber to my apartment. it's 100Base-Tx , that is copper! [12:13] emorris: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=436346 [12:13] magnetron, where do you get that copper from [12:13] roxan→ it's an outlet in my apartment. my ISP put it there. [12:13] emorris: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/12884 [12:13] roxan: still working. =) For anyone having issues with their "advanced" network config, just uninstall network-manager. =) [12:14] i have tried running mplayer and totem from commandline as well no errors [12:14] magnetron: i have mostly seen at homes that the connection which are not having routers, hubs etc they only get 10mbps but in vice versa case they get 100 mbps [12:14] magnetron: your modem connects to that [12:14] how can i run a script at the gnome desktop startup, i am looking for the settings file not the system->preferences->session thing, i want to globally set a script that will run for every user when they initialize the desktop [12:14] sawyer_: thanks [12:14] magnetron: what trouble are you having? [12:14] ActionParsnip1: ok, thanks, I'll have a look at them [12:14] !startup | ogzy [12:14] ogzy: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [12:15] ActionParsnip1→ no, i have no modem. i don't need one, since i have a 100base-tx into my home [12:15] ziroday, thank you, for assisting me :) [12:15] magnetron: then grab a cable modem and put that line in the wan port [12:15] sawyer_: okay both drives are detected, do icons for them appear on in nautilus? [12:15] ziroday: page not loading.. [12:15] sawyer_: no problem :) [12:15] magnetron, they auto negotiate . your end with the other one. [12:15] ActionParsnip1→ you have no clue [12:16] ActionParsnip1, you didn't read what i wrote [12:16] roxan→ the first thing i said was that i already tried that [12:16] magnetron, your end will say lets work on 100 and if the other end agres then they will [12:16] zamba: ah, lemme see if I can find another link [12:17] ziroday: i see 2.6.27 has support for the ubifs filesystem.. could this be something to look into? [12:17] ogzy: for all users? [12:17] ziroday, yes, an icon for each driver. [12:17] zamba: basically the root of the matter was that you shouldn't have swap, ask in #eeepc for more in depth discussion [12:17] hey, i want to upgrade VLC to 0.9 but in synaptic i found just the 0.8.6!!!! how can i do it please? [12:17] jron_→ my NIC won't go into 100Mbps mode, it just chooses 10Mbps half duplex. neither mii-tool or ethtool can change it to 100, neither will they enable auto-negotiation [12:17] sawyer_: and you can click on them and they mount just fine? [12:17] the SD card i can. the Elements hard disk i can't. [12:18] ActionParsnip1, yes is there any settings of Gnome that i can set startup programs globally? [12:18] sawyer_: so when you click on it nothing opens up? [12:18] roxan→ i already told you that auto-negotiation can't be enabled. that is my problem [12:18] ziroday, exactly. [12:19] sawyer_: does a folder appear in /media for it? [12:19] ogzy: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ [12:19] ziroday: i'm rarely ever using my swap on this machine anyway, so [12:20] zamba: don't get a swap partition :) [12:20] Hi. I can double-click a .bin file in XNC to execute it, but not from the 'normal' filemanager. What's an easy way to create a desktop icon to this .bin file, so that i can open/run it from the desktop? [12:20] ziroday, now i've noticed something. /media/disk is usually where it mounts the Elements. and it appears, but the content is of SD card. so it seems like that's where it mounted the SD card. [12:20] good, good [12:20] perhaps that [12:20] ActionParsnip1, but update-rc.d makes the scripts run with root privilidges. I need to run it as a user [12:20] .. perhaps that's why it couldn't mount the Elements HD? [12:20] ogzy: hmmm [12:21] sawyer_: it should then mount it to /media/disk2 or something similar. Try deleting both drivers [12:21] sawyer_: I mean the /media/disk folder [12:22] ziroday, i should umount it first though, right? [12:22] ogzy: how many users do you have, a per-user basis may be needed [12:22] !port_forwarding [12:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about port_forwarding [12:22] meh [12:22] ogzy: i think you can edit the default profile somehow so all future users will get the setting [12:22] !squid [12:22] squid is a caching proxy for the Web. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard See: http://www.squid-cache.org [12:22] ActionParsnip1, so where if this profile? [12:22] jokeusa: read your routers manual [12:23] ogzy: i believe its /etc/skel [12:23] ActionParsnip - there is no router... [12:23] !nat [12:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about nat [12:23] you need a router or routing firewall to do nat:) [12:23] ziroday, when i "eject"ed the SD card (which was mounted to /media/disk), it removed the /media/disk folder. [12:23] jokeusa: so how do you plan to portforward? [12:24] I want to forward traffic to squid3 installed on the same machine. [12:24] (which doesnt work as a router btw, stand alone machine) [12:24] guys i want to move wubi partations to real partations [12:25] !wubi > bahaa2008_ [12:25] bahaa2008_, please see my private message [12:25] ActionParsnip1, so if i put my script to /etc/skel/.profile will it run for every run time as a user ? [12:25] bahaa2008_: you could create iso's of the partitions then write them to real partitions in a live environment [12:25] ogzy: for every future user when they pick up the skel profile [12:25] bahaa2008_: can do it with lvpm [12:26] ok [12:26] ActionParsnip1, picking up the skel profile? so do they ned to open terminal ? [12:26] but how to use ubuntu after that [12:26] ogzy: no, when a user first logs in they get a default profile created. This is a copy of the skel profile [12:26] how to mount the partions again [12:27] !mount | bahaa2008_ [12:27] bahaa2008_: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [12:27] or it'll be mounted automatic ? [12:27] ActionParsnip1, ok will try it and also this one http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/50 [12:27] ActionParsnip1, /etc/X11/Xsession.d can be a right place to put the script [12:28] need help!

[12:28] e-frame, how to mount the partions again or it'll be mounted automatic ? [12:29] e-frame, i mean when i use lvpm [12:29] ogzy: just remember to backup the file so you can rollback if you come unstuck [12:31] * omolina is away: en la U! === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire [12:33] !away > omolina [12:33] omolina, please see my private message === deployer is now known as biggyla [12:35] i keep getting "build not found" when trying to compile a driver, on the server disk, what do i need to apt-get from the disk to get build to work ?

[12:40] hischild: proberlly not [12:40] i want it to display it in page content [12:40] Slart, hischild: I'll try the recovery mode. [12:40] Keloren, you might want to install those as well. [12:41] F-3000, hischild: then.. well.. I have no idea... don't you get questions about localization during the install? [12:41] few, 2007 and 2008 may be very different. You will probably have to install both. [12:41] rocks what are you talking about ? [12:41] Slart, F-3000 i recommend using recovery mode and use a graphical view from there. Then change the settings.

[12:53] sirMajid: then get video drivers installed and checked [12:53] Slart, caribou_ , mpd is also cli controllable with mpc. [12:53] Slart, no there are a few graphical software using mpd [12:53] zamba: I do that.. haven't done anything special.. [12:53] zamba: use ext2 fs [12:53] ActionParsnip: yes my graphic card is installed either [12:53] hischild, but for that you need a ponit to point programm [12:53] hischild, yes same problem with kde libraries [12:54] sirMajid: whats the output of glxinfo | grep -i direct [12:54] hischild, I'm trying to use no gnome/kde apps and especially for background apps [12:54] the_lost_one, yup .. or try to DL from some highspeed site ... i usually use pcextreme.nl to test it, because i know it's close to me.

Video Camera Controller [12:54] caribou_, use mpd with mpc or gmpc ... the latter is a gui, the middle a cli app. [12:54] zamba: yeah it writes to the disk a lot so you can lengthen the ssd's life [12:54] anyone here, by any unbelievable chance, remember my problem with non-gnome desktops randomly kicking me out? [12:54] I solved it [12:55] ActionParsnip: let me check that [12:55] zamba: yes.. not that I've ever used it.. but I don't have the swap on the ssd [12:55] ActionParsnip1: so i basically need to convert my fs to ext2 [12:55] hischild, gmpc is a gnome frontend >_> [12:55] Slart: i'm using this on a laptop, so i guess i have to remove the swap partition [12:55] zamba: you dont HAVE to. I just recommend it [12:55] caribou_, is it? iirc it was gtk based [12:55] ActionParsnip1: the missing drives shown there i want to mount on startup [12:55] knut_: ok give me a pastebin of that output and i'll give you the line to add === h_jason is now known as jhadley [12:56] does any one know about dictionary [12:56] hischild, i just read "gnome music player client" [12:56] hey guys i found a video which is a real threat to security of linux.. http://www.techamok.com/?pid=5254 .. does this applies to ubuntu/kubuntu also?

[13:01] how do i do fsck [13:01] hischild: oh ya [13:01] ActionParsnip, parse and dump ones :) [13:01] knut_: add 0 0 at the end of the 3 lines [13:01] aghaIman: don't know what? also, please prefix emorris to responses so i get alerted [13:01] webas: I can't speak for the rest of the people here.. just for myself [13:02] webas: that's not hacking. That's a feature if you need to recover your computer. It only works if you have physical access to the machine. And anyone with physical access can do anything they want to your machine unless you encrypt your drive [13:02] nevermind then..if you are so scared.. i will talk in the evening with few friends who should be online..about linux [13:02] ActionParsnip1: for every line? [13:02] knut all the 3 i gave [13:02] ok [13:02] knut_, AFTER the lines, not in front [13:02] jrib - so it cant be done via lan? only just to this personal pc? [13:02] knut_: hischild had my back ;) [13:02] webas: post the question again [13:02] webas: correct [13:03] hey guys i found a video which is a real threat to security of linux.. http://www.techamok.com/?pid=5254 .. does this applies to ubuntu/kubuntu also? - i was worried it can be done via lan this way too or something.. [13:03] webas: ignore me [13:03] ah, ok [13:03] then there is no need to worry for me.. :) [13:03] tavish: unmount the partition you're looking to fix. after verifying that the partition is not mounted, simply run fsck /dev/ as root, with the obvious substitution. [13:03] thanks [13:03] sipior: its my root disk [13:03] tavish: then you'll be booting from a live cd :-) [13:04] knut_: id give it a reboot just to make sure everything is ok from a cold boot [13:04] webas: that way is even the dumb way. You have a "recovery mode" choice in ubuntu's grub menu that will give you a root prompt so you can fix your computer if you messed something up [13:04] hischild: "/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0" ... can i tuse the "0 0" drom that row and copy it? [13:04] webas: yes it does apply to ubuntu and variants [13:04] knut_: you can always edit the lines out if you get errors and reboot if there are issues [13:04] hischild, looks like it works to have them both installed because the texlive-2008 installer installs its files in /usr/local. so i just need to add it to PATH. [13:04] F-3000: I've got a "change language" button on my login screen.. do you have one of those? [13:05] ye, no worry, because it cant be don via lan or from remote control.. :) [13:05] hischild, Slart: earlier I wasn't able to start login window-panel when I got into X. [13:05] sipior: ok. why didnt i think of it? and also i have it installed on ntfs [13:05] Slart, it has no use. It's finnish already, but keyboard's still messed up. [13:05] webas: it also applys to mac os x [13:05] i have gnoem-dictionary [13:05] knut_, all you have to do is add 0 0 at the end of each line. [13:05] too late [13:06] * ActionParsnip1 crosses his fingers [13:06] i think he got it [13:06] hi all, I am looking for a programm for our school, where the kids can comment on special things. For example: What do you think about christmas? Now every user should be able to commit an answer and edit it. But the user should be allowed to see but not to edit the answers of the others. Is there a open source solution out there??? [13:06] few, you don't need to edit path, the program should pick that up by itself [13:06] tavish: ntfs? heh, i don't believe there's a fsck for ntfs volumes... [13:06] does mac-os has same security ( with root passwords ) also? :) [13:06] mark_s: setup a wiki server [13:06] mark_s: sounds like a forum [13:06] sipior, tavish there is in ntfsprogs [13:07] webas: mac-os is loosly based on bsd so id say yes [13:07] hischild: and is it reliable, as in no trashing the filesystem? [13:07] hischild, this did not work and the texlive readme told me to do so [13:07] ActionParsnip1: In a wiki you can edit all [13:07] sipior, saved my local file system and 1 of my external drives. Windows messed up though .. [13:07] mark_s: not if you set it up properly I elieve [13:07] few, ok. [13:07] i mean that i am using it on a ntfs partition. there was an option to install it as a program [13:07] How I kill the login window? I'm unable to do startx due to it, from another console. [13:07] in 8.04 [13:07] webas: it has a disabled root password like debian, ubuntu, etc, which means that you can, in effect do the same thing. I know someone who bought a mac off ebay, but they did not give him the password(s), so he changed them this way. [13:08] F-3000: pkill gdm might work [13:08] F-3000, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [13:08] F-3000: just do 'startx -- :1' and you can keep both. If you really want to stop gdm, do: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [13:08] heh is firewall by default installed? [13:08] mark_s: or you could use some script for a web style thing they log in to and submit answers [13:08] when I type glxinfo into terminal, it returns direct rendering:no [13:08] !firewall | alteregoa [13:08] alteregoa: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [13:09] knut_: all groovy? [13:09] the how should I install my graphic card [13:09] ? [13:09] jrib: a forum is to big. The result should be like a one document with diffrent paragraphs. [13:09] sirMajid: lspci will tell you [13:09] jrib, that worked. :) [13:09] ActionParsnip1: now he cant mount the drives event when i click on em in nautilus [13:09] even [13:09] ActionParsnip, can u link me that pastebin again? [13:09] knut_, a second :-) [13:09] knut_: can you access them from terminal? [13:09] ActionParsnip1: to script it is too difficult for me === sk_ is now known as _sk [13:10] Action...: it just tells model of my graphic card [13:10] mark_s: I've never seen what you describe.. forums are very common and afaik quite easy to setup.. a wiki might not be what you're looking for although you might be able to lock it down [13:10] ActionParsnip1: when u give me the command :-) [13:10] hischild: output of mount: http://pastebin.com/m5481b97e === jklyekai_ is now known as jklyekai [13:10] mark_s: don't know of such a thing. You would probably have to write a small web app [13:10] Action...: you mean then I google the model and get the driver? [13:10] hischild: output of old /etc/fstab: http://pastebin.com/f25b4ea80 [13:10] mark_s: but if you've got the time and the know-how it might be relatively easy to write one yourself [13:10] ActionParsnip, perhaps add something like auto or user? [13:10] i am using it on a ntfs partition. there was an option to install it as a program in windows [13:10] fsck [13:10] mark_s: what you are asking isnt an easy thing to do [13:10] is there a way to set the standard browser in .bashrc?? [13:11] Slart: I haven't seen anything like it myself. I was hoping to find an answer here [13:11] to look if the drives can be mounted, can i press ctrl alt backspace? [13:11] knut_, jst a second. Can you do this for me? --> [13:11] fr4nk-k: BROWSER=opera [13:11] k thx [13:11] fr4nk-k: for example [13:11] hischild of course [13:12] knut_, sudo aptitude install pastebinit && dmesg > log && cat log | pastebinit && rm log [13:12] knut_, and give that link to me here? [13:12] ActionOarsnip1: Something like the book reviews at Amazon. with the chance to edit your own answer. === irc is now known as Guest77857 [13:12] hischild: gotta love pastebinit :D [13:12] knut_, uh wait .... change aptitude into apt-get [13:12] is there a way to apt-get install xen 3.3.0 ? [13:12] mark_s: might something like this work? http://webscripts.softpedia.com/scriptScreenshots/Simple-Forum-PHP-Screenshots-38636.html [13:12] emoris: i found that [13:12] mark_s: it sounds similar to the django book comment system they used while they were editing the book. I don't think that code was ever available anywhere though [13:12] want to use it on ubuntu 8.04 [13:12] ActionParsnip, yeah ... but apparently aptitude is no longer installed ... most of my macro's depend on it -,- [13:13] Slart: thank you, I will check it [13:13] ActionParsnip1: you're sure it isn't: export BROWSER=opera ?? [13:13] hischild:http://pastebin.com/f2a83f8ab [13:13] hischild: i've always wrenched it out. I only use apt [13:13] fr4nk-k: if you use opera, yes [13:13] hischild: http://pastebin.com/f2a83f8ab [13:13] Now the whole thing went haywire. (raw translation) "Login window application seems to crash. Attemting to use another." [13:13] fr4nk-k: put it in that file [13:13] thank you for your time and advice [13:13] webas: also bear in mind that windows xp has no default administrator password. it is very difficult to secure access to a machine which has physical access to it. one solution would be to set a grub password, but could be overruled by a GRUB boot disk. Whatever you did to secure your OS, anyone could still come along with a linux live cd, pop it in, log in as root, and access/delete all your stuff. [13:14] sirMajid: we need the make and model, paste the line your graphics card is detailed on [13:14] it does have a default password, its set at install time [13:15] emorris - one way to solve this is to create ( secure dvd roms with fingerprints ) to open it .. haha lol.. but maybe not.. [13:15] ActionParsnip1: it is in terminal...I can't copy it [13:15] ActionParsnip1, not always. [13:15] hello all [13:15] sirMajid: you can copy from terminal as well as paste [13:15] knut_, are the discs mounted? [13:15] hischild: depends who set it up ;) [13:15] ActionParsnip, the default xp doesn't set a password ... at least it doesnt for me ... [13:15] ActionParsnip1: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M24 1P [Radeon Mobility X600] [13:15] i want a dictonary [13:16] ActoinParsnip1: yes I can:D [13:16] hischild: did you install your own xp or was it preinstalled? [13:16] aghaIman, apt-cache search dictionary [13:16] ActionParsnip, by myself ... [13:16] hischild: after your command i shoud restart? [13:16] ActionParsnip1, any luck ? [13:16] ok wait [13:17] knut_, no .. it only gave me a log of what happens / went wrong when you started ur computer ... but nothing about the discs ... [13:17] hischild: theres a section where you specify the password, most windows users just next away and forget to set it [13:17] dusty_: nothing man, id try later [13:17] how to pass the grub prompt output to any file [13:17] ActionParsnip, odd ... i've never seen it, though i've checked all screens ... it's not even in my guide on how to install XP that i had to do for school where i screen every thing you get .. o.O [13:18] should i download it [13:18] ActionParsnip1, what do you mean try later | [13:18] ActionParsnip1: didn't work. I set BROWSER=firefox and yet epiphany is used :( [13:18] knut_, i'm not sure what can be wrong ... perhaps that ActionParsnip has an idea :-) [13:18] hischild: "nosuid" ... change to "user" ??

[13:19] hischild: im al out [13:19] ok thanks [13:19] sirMajid: im guessing its some laptop, what is its make and model? [13:19] when i want to acess the drives in nautilus it says that i am no root [13:19] It is Dell Latitude D810 [13:20] hello [13:20] ActionParsnip:  It is Dell Latitude D810 [13:20] ActionParsnip1:  It is Dell Latitude D810 [13:20] How many tests Memtest86 do? [13:20] ActionParsnip1: thanks, it worked! [13:20] Peeps, is it true that "iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128" will only redirect connections from external IP's to my machine and NOT the ones made from localhost? [13:21] sirMajid: you can use ubcd4win to reset the windows password, there are linux tools to do so as well I believe [13:21] may I ask, why do you need to change the password? [13:21] sirMajid: http://www.lazy8.nu/delld180/DebianLinuxOnDellLattitude810laptop.html [13:21] jokeusa: I'm no iptables guru but I don't see anything that would restrict to external ip's only.. [13:22] F-3000: it goes on until you stop it [13:22] zaggynl: how can changing the password solve my graphic card problem? [13:22] ActionParsnip1:  let me check the link [13:22] sirMajid: ok scrap that [13:22] Slart: looks like it's a good thing I asked. :D [13:22] sirMajid: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/laptop-testing-team/2005-August/000022.html [13:22] Slart - cite from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/iptables: "Note: if you launch this command on your computer it will only work for external IP addresses connecting to your machine. Connections from localhost do not traverse the PREROUTING chain in the "nat" table." [13:22] sirMajid: near the bottom there is an xorg.conf sample [13:22] F-3000: =) [13:23] sirMajid: your card is supported by Driver "ati" [13:23] sirMajid: which is part of a standard ubuntu install [13:23] Well, it wasnt exactly that line, the oryginal was: "iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080", but its not much of a difference is it now? [13:23] Slart: you know how fast it is to determine if the memory got any faults? === TheFiller is now known as jron_ [13:23] ActionParsnip1:  well, then why it isn't installed === jron_ is now known as TheFiller [13:24] ActionParsnip1:  ? [13:24] jokeusa: well.. guess I'll go sit in the corner wearing the pointy hat =).. as I said.. I'm no guru.. wikipedia sounds like it knows what it's talking about [13:24] sirMajid: it is installed, your system isnt configured to use it yet [13:24] thx anyway [13:24] ActionParsnip1:  so how should i configure my system to use the driver [13:24] ActionParsnip1:  ? [13:24] F-3000: I've never had a memory problem that didn't show up in the fastest test.. but I guess some errors are more sneaky than others [13:24] sirMajid: oh sorry, misunderstood [13:25] sirMajid: its at the bottom of that post, copy the video driver config lines, and the screen config lines to your xorg.conf [13:25] sirMajid: you'll need gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get write access [13:25] ActionParsnip1:  let me try to try that:D [13:25] Slart: Just wondering, as this PC keeps crashing with Ubuntu. :( Wasn't able to install on the HD in the first place, until I booted the live with noapic & nolapic. [13:25] sirMajid: dont cange any header names though [13:26] ActionParsnip1:  ok [13:26] sirMajid: if you bork it, press esc at grub, choose failsafe for your kernel then repair xorg [13:26] sirMajid: you're gonna be wrestling that file a bit [13:26] F-3000: mm.. you're not alone.. those two must be the two most common switches for people to use [13:26] ActionParsnip1:  now I'm a little bit scared...:D I'll do that [13:27] F-3000: is there a new bios for your pc? [13:27] Slart: Just need to figure out how I insert them into the grub. :/ [13:27] F-3000: ah.. but that's pretty easy.. can you get to the grub menu? [13:28] F-3000: or you meant how to put them in grub permanently? [13:28] ActionParsnil: Not certain, altho I think it's original. (1,2GHz Duron) [13:28] Slart, yes, permanently. [13:28] F-3000: it may help, id also check bios settings for power [13:28] make sure its all friendly [13:29] F-3000: have you got ubuntu running? if so do this "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" in a terminal.. [13:29] Slart: I [13:30] sirMajid: when you've editted it, save the file then give a reboot and see what you get [13:30] sirMajid: id favourite up that page [13:30] Slart: I'll do just that after reinstall. [13:30] F-3000: ok =) [13:31] ActionParsnipl: I'll check the power-settings. :) [13:31] and bios revision [13:31] its drastic but may help [13:32] Right then, quick question. Im about to apt a couple extra desktop environments, will that crash me? [13:32] I was installing number of updates. I suspended my laptop and it didn't wake up so installing of those packages was aborted (it was already in stage of configuring them), do I need to worry? how do I reconfigure them? [13:32] iamelite, no i think so, i have 6 [13:32] iamelite: it'll be fine [13:32] ActionParsnip1:  I can't find video driver config lines and screen confing lines [13:32] Thanks much, just wanted to check as i havent done it before [13:33] ActionParsnip1:  which sections do you mean?

[13:33] sirMajid: yours will say Section "Configured Video Device" [13:34] sirMajid: the bit in the post that says Driver "ati", add all that stuff in there [13:34] One more question, if i wanted an extremely light Desktop for wine/VMware/Vbox games or such, what might you pick? [13:34] i have the innovator 17 945PM laptop [13:35] and i think it has the BisonCam [13:35] salut [13:35] oops [13:35] ActionParsnip1: in the post, there is no section named "ati" [13:35] ronin13: id run lspci and lsusb to start your crusade [13:35] french chan somewhere ???

Video Camera Controller" [13:48] ActionParsnip1: Pleaaaaaase answer fast...I should go and I can't leave my xorg.conf like that [13:48] When installing Ubuntu, can I make separate partition like /home, and does the OS save all personal data into there? [13:49] F-3000, you can do, but there is no need for it, by default ubuntu does not overwrite /home during install [13:49] Guys, I tried the EnvyNG and official nVidia drivers, but the two latest ones don't work. 71.x works though. GeForce FX 5600. TF2 requires later driver but (under Wine). Is there some more 'low level' method of getting nVidia drivers? Like building it or something? That could make it work.

[14:46] smoovep: you could try static ip and set a suitable ip to ping your dhcp server to test connectivity [14:46] DavidCanarias: you said you wanted to know how it works. To me that means reading source code. Do you just want to know how to *use* vlc? [14:46] Slart: They are most of the time absent.

[15:05] problem is the HDD I had backed my backup onto must've had a bad sector on it because out of the 15GB backup only 1 block of 847KB is bad [15:06] yikes [15:06] I have lots of music I downloaded on Itunes in it and I don't feel like rebuying it all. [15:06] plus family pictures. [15:06] ncash: is the original ok? [15:06] heh no. [15:06] itunes doesn't allow redownload? [15:06] so the backup and the original are screwed? [15:07] The original backup I moved to the HDD and did a complete re-install on my system. [15:07] if only 1 block is bad... it should be recoverable? [15:08] i was just hoping there was a option to ignore the errors. Or to extract up to block 1900 and skip 1901 (badone) then restart at 1902 to the end of the file [15:08] ncash: dd_rescue [15:08] ncash: will create an image but not cry like a baby when it hits errors [15:08] I'm unfamiler with dd_rescue what is it.

[15:09] ncash: its like dd but doesnt stop on errors [15:09] ncash: just keeps going [15:09] ncash, I guess we've got to low level read it, using things like dd on the umounted device. the closest I got to this was partitioning around the problem rather than rescuing it. The problem I find in these situations is that the drive just clicks away, by a process of elimination I could eventually find the faulty sectors and avoid them. There has to be a better, automated way, especially as use seemed to grow the problem [15:09] I will try that.. Thanks alot. [15:09] !!

[16:38] anyone know a different address on a tutorial on how to install e17 desktop? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-e17-enlightenment-desktop-in-ubuntu.html didn't work [16:38] Slart: But per my experience, Kubuntu is relatively unstable.

[16:39] Luis_, what does it say? [16:39] from ubuntu.com [16:39] It says: [16:39] I chose to not install the bootloader in "Advanced" when I installed Ubuntu.

It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [16:58] forgot all about envy lol [16:58] predator363: just check what driver your xorg.conf is using? [16:59] Luis_, um...every router is different usually you can just go to http://192.168.1.254 or http://192.168.1.1 to check it out [16:59] jrib: Hi again. Tried what you said I wrote "dvdbackup -M -v" but it just tells me teh ifo, bup menu/dvd/volume exits will try to overwrite it and nothing else happens? Is that right?

[17:02] Steve[cug]: let me have a quick poke at that card and array - I don't know that one personally [17:02] it's Wireless router. I would like to connect in ubuntu through wired. [17:02] w0ls0n: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html [17:02] Luis_, I dont know the specific of your home network but you should go to whichever router is connected to the internet [17:03] outbackwifi: its open [17:03] ikonia: np. the SAS controller act's just like most other HBAs I have played with [17:03] ikonia: I'm checking to see how much battery this sucks. I forgot that the calibration is off since I was running a virtual machine from an external drive on battery power a few times. I'll tell ya later if I'm up for finishing the task. :) [17:03] bonsoir [17:03] predator363: scroll down to a section called "Configured Video Device" [17:03] Is there a good, free program that you can create screencasts in Ubuntu?

I have sda, sdb & sdc on my pc. sdb had several partitions the 1st was WinXP, 2nd=/ for hardy install #1, 3rd=23Gib of storage, 4th=extended, 5th=storage, 6th=/swap. I tried to resize #3 and it ended with an error. Now I can't boot into my 1st install of Hardy but I can into winXP (with a long delay)... Booting into 2nd install of Hardy takes a while but works. Gparted now only discovers sda1 &2 and sdc. Sdc is wher [17:08] e the 2nd install of Hardy lives. Sda is my /home for the 1st install. Any help getting sdb working again?

Have you tried surfing the web because Ubuntu won't say anything about it being connected [17:09] burg: you just asked how to make it only boot windows and uninstall the part where it asks what OS to boot [17:09] predator363: use sudo [17:09] linbeee: parted or cfdisk [17:09] Yeah I have tried surfing the web, it just says "Firefox cannot connect to this server" blahblahblah [17:09] tha_stig:yes [17:09] the page load error thing [17:10] Luis__: who are you talking to?

[17:40] aflack: You read around at www.sun.com about installing java runtime for linux. And how. [17:40] lo necesito porque tengo que hacer unas pruebas [17:40] !java | aflack [17:40] aflack: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [17:40] dinamizador, /j #ubuntu-es [17:40] aflack: if not using the ubuntu bundled package. [17:40] Neaai: i tried it and it says to type su in terminal then do the password and i did but it says it fails to authenticate and thats where im stuck lol.. [17:40] para realizar un curso [17:40] Please [17:40] outbackwifi, what if youve done all that, and tried every alternative, and it still wont work? [17:41] Luis__, okay I'm convinced its not plugged in, I can't think of any other reasons, your card was detected the driver was loaded but it still doesn't work. [17:41] help [17:41] Right. [17:41] alguien que me ayude [17:41] Here's the thing [17:41] ThexLeopard: what wont? [17:41] aflack: oh. I could tell you another way but that'd be dangerous afterwards with what you do. [17:41] I have the leadin the back of the computer [17:41] yes? [17:41] outbackwifi, any java runtime environment [17:41] I have the wire in the router downstairs. [17:41] Neaai: uh well what do you mean by dangerous [17:41] any other wires i should no about? [17:41] ThexLeopard: you mean it wont get installed? [17:42] por favor necesito ayuda [17:42] aflack: instead of "su -" (root-password) try "sudo bash" (personal password) [17:42] Are there back doors in Ubuntu for Government use, which would be for spying? [17:42] !es [17:42] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [17:42] Neaai: is that dangerous? [17:42] Luis__, I guess, the cat5 connects to your pc and router, everything else is automatic if your using dhcp [17:42] outbackwifi: whatever we did killed my x server to death and i had to boot in recovery mode and do an xrestore [17:42] outbackwifi, they all install fine, i can select them all as the default fine, but they wont run java applets [17:42] so theres something else that might not be plugged in? [17:42] Neaai, aflack: the correct usage would be sudo su - [17:42] sudobash: of course [17:42] aflack: Not dangerous per-se. But it will put you in administrator powers with which you can easily mess things up if you err. [17:43] predator363: if your xserver goes down, you dont have to boot in recovery, login into text mode and just modify xorg again [17:43] dulak: What's the gain with that form of usage ? [17:43] Luis__, if your not using dhcp you would have had to manually set up your networking in windows [17:43] brb [17:43] howdy folks [17:43] ill ask my dad [17:43] Neaai: wait one second... neaai do you think you can pm me this text is hurting my eyes + i have a headache [17:43] ThexLeopard: what do you get when you type java -version in a terminal [17:43] outbackwifi: oh well im still stuc in 800x600 with scratchy sound and no visual effects *cry's* [17:43] Neaai: sudo bash doesn't give you a full login, so for instance ~ would still be pointing to your user home directory and not /root [17:44] Neaai: sudo su - gives you a full root environment [17:44] aflack: But here it's so all the others can see and also so someone else can offer ideas too. [17:44] predator363: did you run your nvidia configure utility on it? [17:44] hi all, anyone got a sec to help a wine-newbie install something? I keep running into issues. [17:44] outbackwifi: lemme try again and see if it will work now [17:44] so if there were back doors potentially all we have to do is find them in the code... [17:44] predator363: just change the nvidia to nv and it should work fine (inside xorg.conf) [17:44] kesi: are you using crossover office? [17:44] Neaai: well, im probably just doing something wrong, as i already think i am instead of it not working i think im doing it wrong... if we run out of ideas cant we just switch back to public? [17:44] ill just try a network test. [17:45] ill disconnect. [17:45] ok? [17:45] outbackwifi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/60591/ [17:45] dtolj, not sure what that is..

[17:45] jamus, on HH trying to install and SDVR remote software under wine. woman. [17:45] kesi: it may not be supported [17:45] aflack: Before the installation, instead of doing "su" do "sudo su" [17:45] ok one second [17:45] ThexLeopard: launch firefox from the terminal and try to browse some site with the java applets; if it doesnt work, see the messages on the terminal [17:45] aflack: and then continue as stated in the docs [17:46] what is dmraid [17:46] ?

Running environment [17:50] it just has 2 screens with an exclamation mark [17:50] kesi: well ... im not really familiar with the app ur trying to install but as general help i suggest u go to http://appdb.winehq.org/ and look up the compatibility issues [17:50] dling === OxDEADEDD is now known as OxDEADED [17:51] i thought there was java 6 or 7 not 2?

I had a problem installing Fluxbuntu. The installer didnt intalled grub. I dont know why. But I have another linux installed in the same machine, so I edited the menu.lst of it so I could load Fluxbuntu. Added these lines: "title fluxbuntu" "root (hd0,5)" "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/sda6 ro quiet splash" "initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic" Fluxbuntu is installed in the first of the exte [17:51] i just installed 8.04, but it doesn't seem like i can get sound to play in both pidgin and firefox at the sametime [17:52] F-3000: ok.. so you've got a computer that doesn't crash when you leave it alone =) [17:52] aflack: I think it is a difference between java runtime and java develop [17:52] outbackwifi: my brain just exploded i dunno what i did lets start over lol [17:52] F-3000: did you change anything since the last crash? [17:52] Slart: Leaving it alone doesn't crash it. [17:52] Omg. [17:52] kesi: is ur ubu running on different partition then windows couse when it asks overwrite there is a slight chance thet u erase something important [17:52] well ill dl the one you gave me one second [17:52] I cant copy and paste it. [17:52] Slart: Done only updating. [17:52] aflack: But why not use the .deb package for that in the repository ? [17:52] btw you see when i do ipconfig [17:52] Luis_, why not? [17:52] Slart: I'm starting to think that noapic with *installed* Ubuntu caused the crashes. [17:52] doesthat have to be the wireless enabled [17:53] or with wire enabled? [17:53] Neaai: when i tried installing it like that it said something about wrong structure [17:53] Luis_, wire [17:53] kk [17:53] Okay.. so this is a really bizzare problem I have been having. I got it to work, then pushed my luck.. and now I am back to square one. I have a dell 1525 with the Broadcom 1505 Wireless N Mini card, and when connecting to my school's wireless nothing happens. I can see the network in the top right hand corner, when I connect it says connected, and theres good signal strength.. but nothing else happens. I can't ping anything, and I can't [17:53] access any websites.. [17:53] ima d/c again. [17:53] any ideas? [17:53] generally u just use the windows installer and it works fine try to stay out of commandlines when possible [17:53] aflack: Normally, the installer will put a file in your home directory somewhere where firefox/iceweasel will look for it. That's all. [17:53] what's the command for unmount? [17:53] Hexbomber: i used to run a company called hexabomb [17:53] user_: umount [17:53] user_: umount [17:53] user_ umount [17:54] k [17:54] Slart: But what I do wonder, is that why the CD-ROM's light is flashing? It's almost unnoticeable. Drive's empty. [17:54] Neaai: err okay? [17:54] bk [17:54] right. [17:54] Neaai: It wont let me install from the package installer thing it said wrong structure i cannot click anything besides cancel [17:54] i cant copy things fromcmd. [17:54] Neaai: do i want rpm or normal to download? [17:54] Luis__ what is the error [17:54] nothing [17:55] just cant select the txt. [17:55] aflack you can't use rpm's on ubuntu [17:55] Slart: Also, I'm doing the installs in 1-10Mb bursts, not all at once. [17:55] aflack: then try the one you got from the java site. [17:55] outbackwifi: ok lets start one step at a time, earlyer today i was trying to fix the sound on my lappy fallowing a instructional forum i deleated the acpi thread and reinstated it then restarted when i did so i had no audio i was stuck in 800x600 video and my login gui wouldent start i was ticked [17:55] aflack: what is wrong with java from the ubuntu repo [17:55] Luis_, try holding shift down [17:55] Hexbomber: Are you using ndiswrapper? [17:55] F-3000: sounds weird [17:55] aflack: the normal. The rpm is for some other distros. [17:55] Neaai: ok i dont know i tried playing a game, and it said instal java and it gave me the site link [17:56] aflack: java is in the ubuntu repos [17:56] aflack: open synaptic and search for "java" and install the package you want [17:56] outbackwifi: and the only thing iv been able to fix is the sound i got it back but its still all scratchy [17:56] Hexbomber: I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and have just installed the driver. Its working here [17:56] I noticed before last week that any tiny images I saved were thumbnailed in a ZOOM display mode. A patch fixed this and now the images are displaying normal size, however I still have a 'boundary' that is the original size. How do you fix this? [17:56] predator363: ok, first thing to check is whether your xorg is using the right driver [17:56] kesi: u still here? [17:56] ikonia: for some reason he said it said something about a "wrong structure" [17:56] Slart: I succeeded to screw up the very first Kubuntu install by doing "full update". What screwed it, was that the updater crashed in midway, and left ALL packets as if they'd be updated. [17:56] jamus, sorry [17:56] Neaai: Id' get the exact error, as he's not making much sense [17:56] kesi: its fine [17:56] jamus, I have windows running on a separate partition [17:56] predator363: if you can pastebin /var/og/Xorg.0.log that could be a start [17:57] which one do i install there is hella lot more than just java showing up [17:57] how do you save a file in nano i cant ever remember [17:57] ikonia: is the package name "default-jre" ?

[18:03] Neaai: one second [18:03] bya, is ur PC alive? [18:03] bya, you tried the live CD? [18:03] Help? [18:03] tried another monitor [18:03] predator363: can you do an ls -l of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers and pastebin that? [18:03] yeah it is alive [18:03] jamus, I installed utorrent with no problem. [18:03] Luis_, is it in administration? [18:03] predator363: need to check if you have the nvidia driver at all [18:03] Neaai: you cant execute .bin... [18:03] cedriczg: 8.04. Tho, I'm a bit sceptic regarding that version number, as when I updated Kubuntu from 7.10 to it, it basically broke the Kubuntu (-> reinstall....). Most problematic with that was, that it wasn't my laptop. [18:03] bya, Est-ce que tu as esayé le live CD? [18:04] aflack: that's an executable. Do: chmod u+x that.file.bin ; ./that.file.bin [18:04] aflack: (replace "that.file.bin" with the name of the .bin file) [18:04] Cause when he reboots (by shutting down electricity) it tells me that the pc shutted down by the wrong way, and that it has to go threw bios [18:04] F-3000, I am using ubuntu 8.04 and I'm happy with it since june. What laptop do you have if I may know? [18:04] cedriczg: You have any idea, why the cd-drive's light keeps flickering? [18:04] And setup everything again [18:04] outbackwifi: i have i installed the driver and had it working untill i fallowed that forum [18:05] outbackwifi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/60601/ [18:05] After setting up, it goes blank again [18:05] :| [18:05] cedriczg, Tu es français? [18:05] bk [18:05] its luis btw. [18:05] Neaai: you ever suggest using sh ./file.bin instead? [18:05] sorry where was we? [18:05] Neaai: wait, do i need to navigate to the dir? [18:05] MTecknology: I'm just used this way. it's a habbit [18:05] Neaai: of where the file is? [18:05] cedriczg: My laptop's museum-type; 266MHz HP, which can't even boot livecd. But my friend's laptop is Asus. I'll give you a link for some things I wrote... [18:05] aflack: yes where you installed it [18:05] predator363: you do have nvidia driver that seems to be dated 10 oct [18:06] Neaai: i havent installed it yet lol.. [18:06] Hello? [18:06] aflack: downl'd it, sorry [18:06] bya, non je suis d'Uruguay. Mais je parle francais aussi [18:06] Neaai: ok one sec.. [18:06] Neaai: I do that too, but I take the assumption people don't understand it and may screw something up :P [18:06] luis9955, is it in administration? if not try sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.4 [18:06] cedriczg: I lied about the livecd-thing. It CAN boot Fluxbuntu and DSL. [18:06] jamus, well it seems like it's a problem with the program I am trying to run.. I guess I'll just install it on the windows partition and have to boot into windows to run it. [18:06] F-3000, ok [18:06] predator363: ok now you need to open up xorg.conf and add the driver line again; this time pastebin it after youve done it so i can check [18:06] in administration i have: [18:06] if I want to give a php application the ability to create, write, and read files in a directory, is "www-data" the user I need to give read and write permissions to for the directory? [18:06] Network [18:06] cedriczg, je lui ai dit (puisqu'il s'agit de mon copain) de booter à partir du live CD mais pour l'instant j'attends toujours le résultat [18:06] Network Tools [18:06] cedriczg: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/F3000 [18:06] !fr | bya [18:06] bya: 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 [18:06] MTecknology: guess I'd better be careful as well. :) [18:06] TJ-42: if that's the user apache is running as, yes [18:06] k and whats the code? [18:07] Is it either of them? [18:07] luis9955, are you in gnome or kde? [18:07] outbackwifi, i can speak english, this isn't a matter [18:07] bya, is the battery on the motherboard on properly? [18:07] aflack: code ? [18:07] Erm.. [18:07] dulak: that's the default, right? and there shouldn't be anything else to do, right? [18:07] TJ-42: and on ubuntu that's the user apache runs as, so yes [18:07] How can I check? [18:07] ok thanks :-) [18:07] Neaai: to make it executable [18:07] obviously I'm messing up somewhere else then :-) [18:07] maniheer, How can i possibly know that? [18:07] luis9955, nm, just try sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.4 [18:07] open it up :D [18:07] TJ-42: you want rwx on directory, rw on files [18:07] bya, donc tu dois attendre et apres tu peut posser la le probleme a nouveau (j'en ai pas d'accent grave ici :P ) [18:07] kesi: that should work [18:07] aflack: try this: bash ./name.of.file.bin [18:08] maniheer, it ent like that suddainly, i think there is no hardware isues, is there? [18:08] TJ-42: you can just sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/directory [18:08] bya, its a wrist watch looking round battery [18:08] outbackwifi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/60603/ [18:08] Why isn't the latest version of PHP available in apt-get? It's like 2 versions behind and there are numerous security vulnerabilities [18:08] bya, it might have run out [18:08] run dry [18:08] Neaai: you told me a different command last time? [18:08] aflack: you're not "root" are you ? [18:08] jamus, yeah but it's a pain in the ass.. It's a dvr software to check on my business and I need to come up with some way to view it without rebooting everytime [18:08] aflack: this is shorter and saver [18:08] cedriczg, ok [18:08] Neaai: i am .... [18:08] safer* [18:08] spree, ubuntu has thousands of packages it's hard to keep them all 100% upto date [18:08] Says no such device. [18:08] aflack: exit root first [18:09] can u run xfce in parallel with gnome or kde and select it only when you need it? [18:09] csilk, it should keep some up to date [18:09] Neaai: but the instructions said sudo su then password? [18:09] predator363: another thing is that the monitor refresh rates that you have there dont support any mode higher than 800x600 [18:09] maniheer, we do keep many uptodate [18:09] aflack: do this as a user first. Then when you succeed, do it for all user as root. [18:09] but like I said, there are tens of thousands [18:09] kesi: wine is a windows emulator which is good for some stuff but a lot of programs mainly the more ''heavy'' ones will not work on it as they require some functions not found on it [18:09] mrunagi_: yes, if you install gnome and xfce and kde all together, they just become sessions you can choose at the login screen [18:09] outbackwifi: ?!?!?!?!? how do i fix that? [18:09] Neaai:how do i exit root [18:09] aflack: exit :p [18:09] luis9955, try ifup eth0 [18:10] says failed to open. acess denied. [18:10] jamus, it's a pretty small java based client.. I thought it should work [18:10] Simple question. What's the default terminal font? [18:10] predator363: do you know what monitor you have? is it branded? [18:10] luis9955, my bad sudo ifup eth0 [18:10] Orbixx, Crap [18:10] :P [18:10] how would i get something similar for this to work in ubuntu: hotkeys for german characters: http://german.about.com/library/blcomp_dekey1.htm [18:10] cs278 Well yeah but PHP is pretty darn important to keep up to date due to the nature of it being used with Apache on every Ubuntu webserver [18:10] Neaai: ok finally now tell me tha command one last time lol [18:10] Hi all. I have an ISO file I want to burn using the Live CD, however when I try to eject the Live CD, I can't. I right click on the drive and go to Eject but it tells me there's probably no media... [18:10] says "ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0." [18:10] outbackwifi: i have a 1080p 15.4'' lcd compaq with no model number on it as its build into my lapppy [18:10] does xfce automatically disable composite like compiz? [18:10] aflack: hmm.. it's: bash ./name.of.the.file.bin [18:11] spree, Yes I agree, what version is in the repo at the moment, and are you on hardy or intrepid? [18:11] I've tried eject /dev/cdrom which does work, however inserting a blank doesn't detect so I can't proceed === Pulpie_inlove is now known as Pulpie [18:11] ThisIsMeAndN: You can't eject the LiveCD while using it to run the system. [18:11] !xfce | mrunagi_ [18:11] mrunagi_: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [18:11] neaai: without the periods besides .bin im guessing? [18:11] hi Pulpie [18:11] Hi [18:11] abstortedminds: hey [18:11] jadedoto: oh. So is there anything I can do to get this ISO burned? [18:11] says its ingoring the unknown interface [18:11] !hi | abstortedminds [18:11] abstortedminds: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [18:11] aflack: with [18:12] aflack: put the ./ at front [18:12] csilk: the version for Hardy is 5.2.4 and the current version of PHP available on php.net is 5.2.6 [18:12] Neaai: so i need to add periods to the file name?? [18:12] abstortedminds: can I help you with something? [18:12] ThisIsMeAndN: Burn it with the host OS you have running, or if you are booted into the LiveCD and trying to burn the ISO there, use a different drive than you have the LiveCD in [18:12] hello, can i browse my other PC windows vista with my notebook ubuntu through bluetooth ? [18:12] Neaai: o... [18:12] predator363: oh a laptop :) ok just safely delete all the lines inside the "monitor" section and add this one line -> Identifier "Configured Monitor" [18:12] F-3000, well you have a similar laptop to mine [18:12] aflack: bash: ./file-name.bin [18:12] pulpie, you must be a someone with the same nicck as someone i know [18:12] spree, in the next release of Ubuntu (end of month) php will be upgraded to 5.2.6. you can get this now via the hardy backports if you wish [18:12] csilk on a security audit, Nessus reports numerous red flag security flaws if a server is not using 5.2.6 and these are flaws which can potentially obtain root [18:12] i thought he meant people, THERE's A pulpie in here!!! [18:12] cedriczg: You got oldie-goldie too? :P [18:12] F-3000, I have an HP dv6701us [18:13] spree, please see my previous post [18:13] abstortedminds: I might be why? [18:13] maniheer: lol [18:13] jadedoto: The host OS is fried. The ISO is a backup of all of the data that I need. The system is a laptop with only one burner... so I guess that means I can't do anything, right? [18:13] !desklets [18:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about desklets [18:13] luis9955, hrm right click on the computer in your tray [18:13] abstortedminds: your name reminds me of someone... [18:13] wondering how i get this to work http://german.about.com/library/blcomp_dekey1.htm on ubuntu [18:13] cedriczg: Ah. Well, as I mentioned earlier, my laptop's 266MHz HP. The two laptops mentioned on the page aren't mine. :) [18:13] ThisIsMeAndN: Use the liveCD to make a liveUSB image [18:13] not sure [18:13] F-3000, I wouldn't say it's oldie. But I know it's not one of the last ones. I bought it recently [18:13] Manual config? [18:13] Pulpie, nodereality server [18:13] outbackwifi: like this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/60604/ [18:14] luis9955, yeah [18:14] jamus, ok going to boot into vista to test this. Thanks! [18:14] #linux-fi [18:14] F-3000, oh, right [18:14] abstortedminds: i've been there [18:14] Neaai: ok i installed it i think, it accepted and it created and did some stuff and nows its done.. [18:14] jadedoto: No USB drive. Just a laptop and a live CD right now ;) [18:14] k now what? [18:14] does anyone here know where the desklets are put when they are installed? [18:14] ThisIsMeAndN: If your laptop can boot off of a usb drive, then you can boot off of the usb drive and use the cd drive to burn [18:14] yes pulpie im abs [18:14] dulak: well there's something strange going on. I set 777 umask to the cache directory and give it to www-data:www-data. but new files created in it have username:group as TJ:TJ (my regular user's name, not www-data) [18:14] predator363: no! you changed the "screen" section not the "monitor" section [18:14] Does someone tried the art-gnome program on ubuntu 8.04 ? [18:14] abstortedminds: hmm what channel? [18:14] #node [18:14] aflack: wait, I need to refresh what's to be done next. if it's not yet complete [18:14] I am having troubles to look at previews in that program [18:14] outbackwifi: crap! [18:14] luis9955, make it look like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/60595/ [18:14] Neaai: k. [18:15] TJ-42: the files are created by php? [18:15] predator363: replace the screen section as per this --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/60603/ [18:15] ThisIsMeAndN: What is the host OS you are trying to fix? [18:15] spree, did you get what I said? [18:15] If someone can test it I would be glad. sudo apt-get install art-gnome [18:15] outbackwifi: i click undo untill it was back to the way it was [18:15] dulak: yes. [18:15] binary [18:15] Is it how important to update the english language-packs, if the user doesn't use english as the system language? [18:15] sorry [18:15] kesi: good luck linuxing (btw: vista suks bigtime-- just had to say that), carry on :) [18:15] predator363: yes, you could [18:15] anyone have any experience with adesklets? [18:15] it cant see the network card. [18:15] it says no network devices found. [18:15] jadedoto: Windows XP. I think a virus took out the system files. I've tried everything (recovery CDs, live Windows CDs, etc), but nothing, so I've decided to start from scratch. [18:15] cedriczg: The package name is gnome-art [18:15] sudo apt-get install gnome-art [18:16] outbackwifi: i meant i did [18:16] Pici, yes [18:16] Pici, do you have it installed? [18:16] ThisIsMeAndN: What exactly are you trying to do? You can just reinstall windows from the install CD. [18:16] predator363: ok now change the "monitor" section and then pastebin it please [18:16] cedriczg: No, and I don't have graphical access here to test it either. [18:16] hello, can i browse my other PC windows vista with my notebook ubuntu through bluetooth ? [18:16] outbackwifi: sorry i just missed the screens section lemme fix it [18:16] Pici, I am not able to see the previews. Nor in the program or with the link "preview" [18:17] ThisIsMeAndN: Alternatively, you could actually instal Ubuntu on the laptop, and in the installer, tell it to use the free space on the windows partition. It will create a small area and install ubuntu on that [18:17] !info gnome-art [18:17] jadedoto: I have a lot of work I need to backup, and Windows no longer boots, hence why I was hoping I could use the Ubuntu live CD to back them up first, then reinstall Windows. [18:17] gnome-art (source: gnome-art): install GNOME themes from art.gnome.org. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2-8ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 26 kB, installed size 200 kB [18:17] ThisIsMeAndN: and then you can boot into that install and burn whatever data you need [18:17] TJ-42: you didn't chown the directory to www-data or you did? [18:17] aflack: Ok. Rewind. I think I found better. http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com [18:17] all this internet crap is starting to pee me off. [18:17] outbackwifi: k like this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/60607/ [18:17] jadedoto: I had no idea you could do that! That sounds like exactly what I need [18:17] im being serious. [18:17] ThisIsMeAndN: That will keep your windows files, just use the free space on the drive to make a small install of ubuntu [18:17] Neaai: i already installed it though.. [18:17] if I have to get through this crap just for internet [18:17] ThisIsMeAndN: its a good idea to keep the important stuff on different partition not used by any os so in case of crash its easier to recover [18:17] then whats the point in using ubuntu? [18:17] luis9955, get to the toilet [18:17] AND QUICK [18:18] lol [18:18] not funny. [18:18] seriously. [18:18] jamus: True, however it's not my laptop. I'm just the tech guy ;) [18:18] aflack: check that page, it has a test to see in page whether you have it ok or not. [18:18] Cool, you can pm ubottu with !s. :) [18:18] whats the FRICKING POINT in using ubuntu [18:18] if it cant even use my damn network card. [18:18] !ubuntu [18:18] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [18:18] luis9955, try sudo /etc/init.d/network restart [18:19] says command not found [18:19] dulak: yes, it is chowned to www-data as user and group. but I can even only create files if permissions are set to 777 rather than 770, suggesting to me that for some reason php or apache is not accessing the directory as www-data -- does that make sense? [18:19] outbackwifi: even with all the complications so far im seriously enjoying learning linux as compared to using windows [18:19] luis9955, u make it look like we forced into using ubuntu [18:19] predator363: yes and now change the value of the monitor inside the Screen section to the same one i.e. "configured monitor" instead of "Monitor0" as it is right now [18:19] luis9955, I can sell you new network card, if postal expenses don't kill the efford. :P [18:19] aflack: It provides full instructions too for the installation. [18:19] luis9955, try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart *srry [18:19] Neaai: ive been to that site before i came to this irc.. [18:19] dulak: the directory definitely shows www-data owns it: drwxrwxrwx 2 www-data www-data 4096 2008-10-21 13:17 cache [18:19] outbackwifi: k i did it [18:19] aflack: oh [18:19] TJ-42: yes apache has a suid ability, so it can run sub processes as your normal user instead of www-data [18:20] reconfigruing network ninterface [18:20] predator363: can you pastebin it just to be sure? [18:20] Neaai: and apperently mines not working [18:20] outbackwifi: sure hold on [18:20] done, now what? [18:20] TJ-42: best way to test is to chown that dir back to your normal user and put 770 permissions on it and see [18:20] luis9955, then ifconfig and see if eth0 is there [18:20] TJ-42: if that's the case that's actually more secure than having apache user own it [18:20] ThisIsMeAndN: what exactly r u trying to do at the moment ? [18:20] luis9955: Don't get frustrated. :) Things might not work with first try. At least Ubuntu isn't promising you that it's going to work 100% with your hardware, whereas windoze does that promise, yet it might be totally faulty. [18:20] nope [18:20] no eth0 [18:20] Can anyone using ubuntu 8.04 test package gnome-art and let me know if you are facing same issues? I would appreciate [18:20] outbackwifi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/60610/ [18:20] luis9955, all out of ideas sorry :( [18:21] =| [18:21] cedriczg: I can confirm that the preview does not work [18:21] now I have to try and force my dad into putting the network in [18:21] network card* [18:21] jamus: Backup my data using the LiveCD to reinstall Windows. At the moment, I'm going to try jadedoto's suggestion of installing Ubuntu to the free space on the HD and boot off that :) [18:21] the new one [18:21] brb [18:21] luis9955: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:21] predator363: ok this looks fine. now restart the x-server with ctl+alt-backspace [18:21] angusthefuzz, thanks a lot. [18:21] luis9955, what network card have you got? [18:21] aflack: I need to catch up then. hold on [18:21] outbackwifi: k hold on [18:21] * outbackwifi wonders how old is luis9955 [18:22] chori chori chupke chupke [18:22] I accidentaly pushed on media direct button on my dell laptop and now getting grub error 17. None of the forum posts I found were helpful. Has anybody had similar problem? [18:22] luis9955: Lemme too know about what card, I'll do search. [18:22] ignore me [18:22] maniheer, ADMtek NC100 Network is what he has [18:22] never heard of that one [18:22] maniheer, it shows up lspci and the driver shows up in lsmod [18:22] anone here try to wine chrome? [18:22] dulak: except that then is_writable returns false.... (whereas before it returned true, apparently, even when it clearly could not write to the directory) [18:22] (on uubuntu) [18:23] #kedros [18:23] why doesn't google compile chrome on linux anyways? and secondly why can't I find the source [18:23] my dad is annoying me [18:23] ffs [18:23] no but i wined chrome on windows. [18:23] god [18:23] binarymutant, isn't it a bad thing he couldnt /etc/init.d/network restart? [18:23] "ill do it tomorrow" [18:23] luis9955: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:23] !ot | luis9955 [18:23] thats all he ever frickin says [18:23] luis9955: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:23] so if I wanted to get a theme from gnomelook.org, how do I know what kind of theme I need? (GTK2.x, GDM, Compiz,...) [18:23] I have to go, but thanks so much for the tips! Extremely helpful channel :) [18:23] Bye everyone :) [18:23] TJ-42: that's weird, you could check your apache config and see how it's set to run as that user for that virtual host, maybe disable that on that vhost and then chowning to www-data would work [18:23] !bye [18:23] ThisIsMeAndN: You're welcome! [18:23] Au revoir! [18:23] !bye [18:23] maniheer, lol I got it wrong :( it was /etc/init.d/networking [18:23] hola [18:23] wah wah [18:23] TJ-42: but that's not default setup afaik, you have to do a lot of work to get apache to run stuff as a normal user [18:24] * maniheer hides in a corner [18:24] aflack: ... i like chrome from ym windows box, and don't want to wait till they make a linux native :-( [18:24] ThisIsMeAndN: sound good , the live cd version is ont intended for that [18:24] dulak: you're right it's got to be something with apache I guess. which is strange since I have really not changed the setup. I'm going to ask in apache rooms [18:24] i am not a big fan of chrome :\ i could wait :D [18:24] chrome is terribly insecure. [18:24] and loads pages funny.

[19:00] that is good idea, thx RonzO [19:00] Craihhgney: denyhosts is a daemon because once it's started, it runs without user interaction. It basically just sits back and does what it's supposed to. [19:00] the wireless can connect, and then when i go into firefox i am supposed to see the authentication [19:00] kansan: what kind of updates?

[19:10] ronz0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/60626/ [19:10] SlimeyPete: common sense says that - but virus scanners that run on Linux don't check for a linux virus afaik.

[21:31] Caleb: what version of Ubuntu? [21:31] some1* [21:31] Sylphid|work: so your partition table is wrecked? [21:31] Bit_Breaker: I used UnetBootin to put it on USB flash drive. [21:32] Bit_Breaker: It's 8.04. [21:32] soundray, sda4 is the only partition shown by fdisk -l [21:32] zap: well, without the client running, the connection would drop if the server decided that it didn't like the mac address of the system [21:32] Sylphid|work: I've used gpart once to recover from a similar situation [21:32] Hah, so if I've got the hardware to support 64-bit I should switch? Will a google search lead me in the right direction or is it as simple as a single command line?

[21:33] mercutio22: gconf-editor [21:33] Flannel: thanks [21:33] soundray, is it ill advised to resize an extended partition? [21:33] Caleb: try this way http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar [21:34] soundray, for future reference [21:34] WesGniel: NOT use hardy inside windows. or clean your keyboard [21:34] <_mora> Firefox can't resolve DNS (although it seems that some other apps - like ping - can) and ifup says that the interface eth0 is unknown. ifconfig reports that eth0 exists, however. [21:34] WesGniel: hardy is a tad slower if you use it inside windows [21:34] thanks lokian [21:34] WesGniel: i'd believe that to be your case [21:35] Using the terminal can anyone tell me the command for blanking a DVD. Is it sudo umount /dev/cdrom [21:35] cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom blank=fast but changing cdrom to DVDrom????? [21:35] _mora: if the interface exists and no ip is attached to it, and no default route is set, and your /etc/resolv.conf doesn't have any dns servers, then yes, firefox is operating as it should [21:35] Sylphid|work: I wouldn't have thought so, but I would always shrink the contained logical ones first, then the extended one [21:35] Sylphid|work: and if you're enlarging, enlarge the extended first, then the contained ones. [21:36] Bit_Breaker: I don't have a computer running Linux. [21:36] Bit_Breaker: All my computers run Windows. [21:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/60657/ .

[21:37] Bit_Breaker: No. [21:37] csilk soundray : guys i have this file /boot/initrd.gz and when i open it it points has the older kernel 24-19... is this normal? why i'm concerned is because the default option in my grub points to this initrd file... though i have an option in the grub for 24-21 & 24-19 kernels... is this normal? [21:37] So if I've got the hardware to support 64-bit I should switch? Will a google search lead me in the right direction or is it as simple as a single command line? [21:37] <_mora> Gnea: yes. I can also view some sites by domain name, but only after I load them by IP. [21:38] Caleb: Can i have info on the PC`s in question then [21:38] _mora: what happens if you click on the 'try again' button a few times? [21:38] sparkey: is there a config file, have you ran make menuconfig or something similar [21:38] <_mora> Gnea: same deal. [21:38] yoyoned: yep right after make menuconfig [21:38] _mora: are the dns servers local or from your isp? [21:38] sparkey: does /bin/sh link to /bin/dash on your system? [21:38] why are there so many audio layers :( [21:39] <_mora> Gnea: local. i've also tried using OpenDNS, to no avail. for the record, none of the other machines on the network have this issue. [21:39] soundray: will check :) [21:39] _mora: i have no idea how your network is setup. try using non-local dns servers. [21:40] Hi i dont know if any one can help. i have installed the new ubuntu, and i am trying to install my alfa network driver from aircrack that i used on the older version but it will not make, make install and i need this for packet injection does any one know if its because a new version or some thing else if any one could help please [21:40] stupid question: when installing ubuntu, it asked me for an account name and password, but no root password. What's the default ubuntu root password? [21:40] <_mora> Gnea: like openDNS? already said, makes no difference. [21:40] !root | SirDucky [21:40] SirDucky: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:41] _mora: i'm sure that verizon has their own set of dns servers for its paying customers to use [21:41] hey, I want to get an eee pc 1000h, anyone knows if its possible to install ubuntu on it from a disk on key? [21:41] ubottu: your the greatest bot ever [21:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:42] eXeCuTe: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC and #ubuntu-eeepc [21:42] <_mora> Gnea: while I'm sure they do, the fact that changing the DNS servers to an outside service (without success) indicates to me that the issue lies elsewhere. [21:42] cool, didn't know there's a channel for that [21:42] thanks [21:42] SirDucky: The root password's hash is set to !, I believe (in other words there is no password). You can change the root password, so it's available to use, but I believe it's discouraged. [21:42] jackass [21:43] is ubuntu currently the most-used linux desktop os? [21:43] soundray: ye it does [21:43] Soliloquial: that's a good question for #Ubuntu-offtopic [21:43] _mora: could be a firewall on your end or a faulty ethernet cable [21:43] Hello! I' try to install my 5.1 system with Alsa. I have sound, and it surrounds me ;)... But currently I can just use 4 channels. The front center speaker isn't making any noise... I ran the test for that and every speaker except the front center one sayed to me that it is available. Its the only thing that isn't working right now, does anyone have any idea what I have to do to fix that? :) [21:44] Soliloquial: according to distrowatch.com, yes. [21:44] sparkey: do a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash' and follow the steps to make it point to bash, then try the make-kpkg again. Better yet, find a way of getting by without compiling your own kernel ;) [21:44] Jetekus: thanks. I would like to enable my root user and create a password for it. How do I do that? [21:44] <_mora> it isn't a firewall, because this occurs on no other machine on the [standard verizon DSL router] network. i doubt it's the cable, as i'm getting no packet loss between this machine and the router. [21:45] soundray: okay will try that :) thx m8 [21:45] _mora: what happens if you connect the machine directly to the dsl modem? [21:46] <[TiZ]> Hey there. Still working on my LiveDVD. I have one question. If you aptitude purge software while in the LiveDVD environment, will it still be installed when you use Ubiquity? Example: I already have OpenArena, Gridwars, Zsnes, etc on there. I might also want to add Eclipse and MonoDevelop. Should someone not want any of those, could they "sudo aptitude purge blah blah blah" in order to prevent from installing it? [21:47] Can some1 know how to bring back the ICON that i can chose connection point? please! [21:47] soundray: the thing is that the Xen folder is not there so its not strange that its saying its not there. What is Xen? [21:47] i don't find it [21:47] SirDucky: It's 'sudo passwd root', though bear in mind it's not recommended. [21:47] SirDucky: why would you need to? [21:48] a1: icon? [21:48] in the panel [21:48] what panel? [21:48] !xen | sparkey [21:48] sparkey: XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [21:48] the panel on the top or bottom? [21:49] a1: right click the panel and add a notification area [21:49] nm. how to chose a connection point [21:49] "kernel" should sound more scary [21:49] the 8.10 iso its live cd? [21:49] a1: still lost... 'connection point'? do you mean, for internet? [21:49] Dillizar: yes, like every desktop cd of ubuntu [21:49] <_mora> Gnea: the situation is unchanged with the machine connected directly to the router. [21:49] yes [21:49] why should i get an alsa error from an app that uses PulseAudio? [21:49] Dillizar: but, #ubuntu+1 for 8.10 discussion. [21:49] ok 10x [21:50] <[TiZ]> Hey there. Still working on my LiveDVD. I have one question. If you aptitude purge software while in the LiveDVD environment, will it still be installed when you use Ubiquity? Example: I already have OpenArena, Gridwars, Zsnes, etc on there. I might also want to add Eclipse and MonoDevelop. Should someone not want any of those, could they "sudo aptitude purge blah blah blah" in order to prevent from installing it? [21:50] 10x i am on it [21:50] _mora: how long as the machine been doing this? just recently or the whole time? [21:50] *has [21:50] <_mora> Gnea: the machine has been doing this since i distupgraded last night. [21:51] thanks with this all ICONS!! :) [21:51] hi guys [21:51] i installed kubuntu [21:51] _mora: what did you distupgrade from/to? [21:51] ubottu: okay. is it needed? or can i compile without it? [21:51] set up ppp to work with a huawei modem [21:51] <_mora> from heron to intrepid. [21:51] kopete works with it [21:51] so many icons [21:51] :P [21:51] so do ssh and others [21:51] oops a bot haha :D [21:51] !kubuntu | kexman [21:51] but konqueror is not happy [21:51] kexman: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [21:51] cant browse no page with it [21:51] uff [21:51] kexman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:52] _mora: then you should inquire in #ubuntu+1, we don't support intrepid here quite as well yet [21:52] <_mora> mmkay. [21:52] 9 more days, then we will [21:52] _mora: the problem is clearly with intrepid, though. [21:53] soundray: is it needed or can i compile without it? [21:53] yo my 8.04 is crashing all the time! can i reinstall it wihtout formating? [21:53] I'm having a problem. I have the live cd in my friends new toshiba laptop, (64 bit) but when i try to start the live cd the X server is all messed up. [21:53] <_mora> Gnea: support for my hardware (forceware integrated ethernet) isn't on the list of (known) issues. and in any case, a networking problem still ought to be solvable by reasonable methods. [21:53] sparkey: I think you ought to be able to compile without it, but you probably have to disable related items in make config [21:54] sparkey: I must say I'm not up-to-date on kernel compilation any more, though. Ubuntu made me lazy that way. [21:54] sparkey: if I wanted 2.6.27 badly, I'd upgrade to intrepid. [21:55] Anyone knows a good GUI program for (X)Ubuntu to define which single files should be backuped to f.e. /home/me/backup-YYMMDD when i start it or maybe periodically? [21:55] anyone knows if there is anything equivalent to "smbmount " for ubuntu??? [21:55] <[TiZ]> Hey there. Still working on my LiveDVD. I have one question. If you aptitude purge software while in the LiveDVD environment, will it still be installed when you use Ubiquity? Example: I already have OpenArena, Gridwars, Zsnes, etc on there. I might also want to add Eclipse and MonoDevelop. Should someone not want any of those, could they "sudo aptitude purge blah blah blah" in order to prevent from installing it? [21:55] pingu_: sbackup perhaps [21:55] _mora: i've already explained the support position, and i really don't know much about intrepid right now. just trying to help you get your problem solved. :) [21:56] <[TiZ]> Man, are all my questions really this hard? I guess I should take it as a good thign. [21:56] <[TiZ]> thing, rather === KeithGS is now known as Keith [21:57] soundray: okay i see =/ the thing is i tried another kernel but same shit =( need to set 1000hz cpu freq. [21:58] [TiZ]: my guess is: no, what you install or don't install in the live environment has no impact on what ubiquity will install [21:58] sparkey: no fecal references please [21:58] sparkey: why do you need to set a specific frequency? [21:58] How do I get things to play though both my laptop speakers and external speakers at the same time? [21:59] I think what I am wanting to turn off is called "jack sense," but I can't find anything that says how to turn it off. [21:59] <[TiZ]> soundray: Alright. I'm trying to do research via google and the forums, but it's tough to find things that pertain to my problem rather than using the livecd as a repository [21:59] <[TiZ]> Thank you. [21:59] Wintervenom: I don't think you can. Most laptops have hardware "jack sense". [22:00] if i want to run an application every time the computer starts, how could i make it? [22:00] Well, on Vista, for some reason, sometimes, if I put my headphones in, it would play on both speakers. [22:00] !boot | niuq [22:00] niuq: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [22:00] (At least until the driver got updated.) [22:01] But now, I want that back, 'cause my external speakers don't do treble too well. [22:01] Wintervenom: ah, so you do have software jack sense. Then it would be a matter of the Linux driver supporting it. In other words, don't get your hopes up... [22:01] soundray: hlds runs much smother with 1000fps [22:01] sparkey: hlds? [22:02] hi [22:02] soundray: sbackup does not show hidden folders with point at the beginning [22:02] did hardy remove Control Centre? [22:02] so i cannot backup .Mozilla configs f.e. [22:03] soundray, thanks [22:03] pingu_: if you explicitly set $HOME/.mozilla to be backed up, sbackup should do it. [22:03] how do i send a comand to my server? [22:03] ik [22:03] winrid: ssh [22:04] winrid: can you describe what command you ad in mind? [22:04] KenBW2: Hey ken. Shh wont work. I get "connection refused [22:04] KenBW2: I just want to see the memory and cpu usage of my headless server [22:04] winrid: you need to add your PC to a list of allowed connections [22:04] soundray, well the application i wanted to start is sbackup, i should put sbackupd over /etc/rc.local? [22:04] soundray: i cannot type directories manually [22:04] nuit!! [22:04] KenBW2: shouldn't he make sure that sshd is installed and running on the server first? [22:04] only the way with browsing, but the folder is not shown [22:05] KenBW2: how? [22:05] soundray: probably, i cant remember setting upo ssh on my PC [22:05] pingu_: give me a minute, I'll try to reproduce [22:05] KenBW2: ssh is not installed by default... [22:05] Kr0ntab: it must be or it would tell him so [22:05] soundray it works [22:06] rightclick [22:06] Kr0ntab: ssh client is, just not the server [22:06] Anyone know how to launch the restricted modules dialog from the command line? [22:06] pingu_: ah, good [22:06] ~sigh~ of course I meant the server component guys.. [22:06] how do i update gnome apps that aren't updated by canonical? [22:06] rebort: manual download :) [22:07] winrid, how? [22:07] robert__: you don't [22:07] hello there… is there any way to remove some packages without resolving dependencies? [22:07] robert: search for your stuff on www.softpedia.com in the linux section :) [22:07] robert__: go to the program's website [22:07] robert__: check backports and proposed to see if Ubuntu really hasn't provided updates [22:08] robert: or you could add dependencies [22:08] KenBW2, winrid: please don't recommend bypassing the package manager without giving appropriate warnings ( robert__) [22:08] <[TiZ]> Is there anyone who can give a definite answer? I'm really hoping this will work. I want to make it so that my LiveDVD is full of software, but some of it can be removed before installing. I want to know if "aptitude purge" while inside the LiveDVD environment will have any effect on what is installed from Ubiquity, or if there's any way to make it have an effect. Thanks for any guesses that have been given or will be given. [22:08] Ubuntu. I connect to my WLAN, it's fine. I go away, restart, Ubuntu throws wobbly, does not like WPA key. I change security, it works, I go away, restart, same again. Repeat, repeat, repeat. [22:08] soundray: warnings? [22:09] KenBW2: like "bypassing the package manager to upgrade individual packages will break apt updates" [22:10] !backports > robert__ [22:10] robert__, please see my private message [22:10] soundray: you mean if you install apps from somewhere else they wont be updated by apt anymore? [22:10] KenBW2: for many people just learning about Ubuntu, let alone Linux, it's beneficial for them to keep within the realms of packages software. to prevent breaks, etc. Thats all he was saying. [22:10] KenBW2: yes, and that's not the worst thing that can happen. [22:11] soundray: half life dedicated server :) [22:11] soundray: malicious apps etc? [22:11] KenBW2: not playing well with others [22:11] Flannel: well, i suppose [22:12] hi there [22:12] KenBW2: I was thinking more of breaking the ability to upgrade to intrepid [22:12] niuq: still here? [22:13] hi, i want to switch from slackware to kubuntu,(tired of complications and resolve dependencies on hand ;-?) but i want to use the kde 4... its the 8.10 good to use?? or better download the 8.04?? [22:13] I have an issue running ubuntu server, I can't get the remote display working through ssh [22:13] Ubuntu is LTS...but the edubuntu addon cd isnt? [22:13] MadneX: 8.10 isn't released yet. if you wait till the 30th you might as well use 8.10 then [22:13] MadneX: 8.04 has a variant that has KDE4, but #kubuntu-kde4 is probably your best place to ask [22:14] niuq: sorry, got caught up in that other discussion. I seem to remember that you can set unattended regular backups somewhere in the sbackup settings. Can you not use those? === spencer__ is now known as Soliloquial [22:14] Robb_M: what makes you think that? [22:14] kandjar: can you specify more exactly what you are trying to do, and what doesn't work? [22:15] soundray: I setup a ubuntu server box, [22:15] Flannel: says support for 18 months on the site here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-devel/2008-April/002579.html [22:15] are there epiphany plugins? [22:15] i m trying to ssh to it (using ssh -X or -Y) with display support [22:15] <[TiZ]> Is there anyone who can give a definite answer? I'm really hoping this will work. I want to make it so that my LiveDVD is full of software, but some of it can be removed before installing.

Thanks for any guesses that have been given or will be given. [22:16] <[TiZ]> If no one currently here knows for sure, I'll just ask again later. [22:16] Flannel, Thx [22:16] first I notice that the variable DISPLAY wasn't setup at all once logged in the server, and even after settings that up it does work [22:16] I have the same issue on LAN or WAN [22:16] Robb_M: Interesting. Well, all of Edubuntu is in the repositories. So, even if "edubuntu" isn't supported, your packages will all be. [22:16] KenBW2, are you sure??i found kubuntu 8.10 beta to download right here https://wiki.kubuntu.org/IntrepidIbex/Beta/Kubuntu [22:17] kandjar: what's running on the local side (where you issue the ssh -X command)? [22:17] Robb_M: I guess that means the Edubuntu specific artwork and stuff won't be. [22:17] MadneX: note *beta* [22:17] Flannel: oh, ok...i just saw that and was like "what the heck"? lol [22:17] anyways, thanks for the insight :D [22:18] soundray: linux box, either ubuntu 7 from LAN or debian from WAN [22:18] Robb_M: yeah, its a little odd, but shouldn't affect you as far as security goes that I can see. [22:18] kandjar: and X forwarding from the debian box works? [22:18] MadneX: yea, thats the beta [22:18] soundray? [22:19] soundray, what's that? [22:19] Robb_M: Oh. If youre using Kubuntu on KDE, those are only 18 months. I haven't kept up with Edubuntu on KDE. But Kubuntu isn't LTS, so after 18 months, KDE stuff will go stale. [22:19] soundray: both ssh are done to the ubuntu box, I either do a ssh -X from a debian box trough WAN to the ubuntu server [22:19] Robb_M: er, Edubuntu on KDE [22:19] i included only three little files and backup folder grows up to 200mb not stopping [22:19] or from a ubuntu desktop through LAN to the same ubuntu server [22:20] pingu_: what's what? [22:20] both dont work [22:20] big "files.gtz" and cant open it === EnjoyMe is now known as Four86DXtwo [22:20] kandjar: what I'm trying to establish is whether ssh -X works when you use another remote machine instead of your Ubuntu server. [22:21] how can i stop this backup process?! === antonono is now known as spike\ [22:21] mmm [22:21] soundray: actually it's a bit more tricky :) [22:21] I have seen topics about error 21, but i think it would be very helpful for some advice to me. The problem is when i got my new external hardrive i decided i would install ubuntu on it(not knowing much) So it went along and installed grub also. But i guess this changes something in the system. So without the ubuntu disk i cannot boot into anything. they only way i can go into windows is go to ubuntus disk and go to boot from first drive then gru [22:22] soundray: first, I didnt try from the ubuntu client to another computer since it's the only other linux computer I have [22:22] on my lan [22:22] I want to capture Video and Audio from webcam (Logitech Pro9000) which works well with EKIGA and luvcview - is any functional software which can capture video and audio from the webcam ? [22:22] kandjar: okay. Try 'ssh -X localhost xlogo'. Does that work? [22:22] then, from the debian, I m actually connected to the debian from a winxp box (in LAN) which already redirect the display to the win box [22:22] and it works [22:23] acu: Try Cheese [22:23] I have seen topics about error 21, but i think it would be very helpful for some advice to me.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [22:25] soundray: so, to sum up, I m currently connected from a windows box (with a x server running) to the debian box [22:25] the redirection work [22:25] Hi all [22:26] pingu_: find out its PID (ps aux | grep backup) and run 'sudo kill PID' [22:26] I also did: ssh -X localhost xlogo on the debian box, and the redirection worked too [22:26] kandjar: on the server, have you checked that X forwarding is enabled in /etc/ssh/sshd_config ? [22:26] yeah [22:27] Is there a way to disable the wireless killswitch with the iwl3945 driver? (For whatever reason fujitsu decided to disable RF scanning by default so in windows it has to be enabled via some stupid key combo, there is no option in bios to disable this behaviour), rmmod iwl3945 && modprobe iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1 has no effect. [22:27] grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config [22:27] mowk: you can resize the Windows partition on your first disk, create a small extra /boot partition for grub to live in, and reinstall grub using that.

[22:33] warz: /etc/apache2 [22:33] kandjar: what do you get from a ssh -X server 'echo $DISPLAY' [22:33] Kr0ntab: ahh, thanks. [22:33] how do you configurew the screensavers?? [22:34] FA3: interesting question... I don't think the number is limited for all practical purposes [22:34] <_mora> Gnea: After a lot of swearing/hair-pulling/violence, I determined it's a kernel issue (& is already reported in Launchpad.) Anyone else asks, the solution is to reboot back into 2.6.24 and then everything's ducky again. :) [22:34] i did apt-get install wordpress, but i don't know if this will be easier than just downloading it and installing it manually. [22:34] is there a way to get winrar to run on ubuntu? [22:34] because i have no clue where it put wordpress. [22:34] <_mora> lisa_: why? [22:34] oh, well, i found wordpress, nevermind. [22:34] <_mora> lisa_ there are way better tools in ubuntu. [22:35] lias_: unrar [22:35] _mora, go away [22:35] lisa_* [22:35] <_mora> lisa_ uh! what. [22:35] lisa_: is that how you treat people for trying to help you? [22:35] _mora, i didnt ask yoir opinion. I asked about winrar [22:36] soundray, he didnt try to help me, he was trying to give advice which wasnt asked for! He went off track from my topic [22:36] soundray: empty [22:36] lisa, http://rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.8.0.tar.gz [22:36] soundray: looks like DISPLAY hasnt been set [22:36] command line only [22:36] _mora, let me try that again. How can I use winrar on ubuntu? [22:36] kano, thanks :) [22:36] <_mora> lisa_ and i didn't ask for your attitude. you feel like talking to me like a grown-up, or would you like to find someone else to help you? [22:36] kano, perfect, thats what I was after, cheers [22:36] It was hardly help though was it? It was a condescending remark when 'unrar' or other tool would do. [22:37] and if I try to set it by hand, the app freeze for a bit without showing anything, and then report a fail to connect === kano is now known as kano-lt [22:37] take a deep breath everyone [22:37] _mora, go away! dont give advice which isnt asked for. I didnt ask you if there exists anything better than winrar. I asked HOW I CAN USE winrar. [22:37] LjL, ok :-) [22:38] hi guys [22:38] hi [22:38] <_mora> lisa_: sounds like you've got it all figured out. have fun. [22:38] I have a problem with my visual efects [22:38] <_mora> sirMajid: you talking about compiz? [22:38] lisa_: for most people, it would be completely unreasonable to use WinRAR in Ubuntu, since unrar together with file-roller do the job nicely. so _mora did well to point that out to you. [22:38] lisa_: if we only ever gave the precise advice that people ask for, we'd be giving lots of very bad advice [22:38] <_mora> thanks, ljl. [22:39] when I turn them on, it says they can't be enabled [22:39] LjL, i have my reasons and im not "most people" [22:39] <_mora> let me point out that offering a superior alternative is in no way offensive. you may have your reasons but that does not excuse causeless rudeness. [22:39] LjL, I want to encrypt a file in Ubuntu and then send it to my other windows email account, so I can decrypt it on windows. I only know how to do that using Winrar. Any other ideas? [22:39] lisa_, and how would we know that beforehand? anyway, it appears that you ended up using "rarlinux", which is command line only, just like "unrar", how's that any different - out of my curiosity? [22:40] lisa_: Install rar from medibuntu and use file-roller [22:40] jken146, file-roller? [22:40] lisa_, well, if you only know how to do that with "WinRAR", then using "rarlinux" isn't going to help you either [22:40] sure, file-roller. which i just hinted to. [22:40] !rar [22:40] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [22:40] LjL, ok. so how can I encrypt a file in Ubuntu that will be able to be decrypted in Windows Vista? [22:40] soundray: any idea? [22:40] lisa_: file-roller a.k.a. Archive Manager [22:41] lisa_: so, see, *that* was your real question, not "how to use WinRAR". [22:41] kandjar: when you set it by hand, what are you setting it to? [22:41] <_mora> ...and it is the question i answered and got flamed for. [22:41] anyone know an IE6 theme for FF3? [22:41] LjL, no! my real question was how to use winrar on Ubuntu so I can decrtypt a file on windows [22:42] LjL, but if you claim to have a better alternative, im listening now [22:42] LjL, if not, then I stick with winrar as thats only way I know [22:42] lisa_: from "man rar", i see: -hp Encrypt both file data and headers. The password is case-sensitive. If you omit the password on the command line, you will be prompted with message "Enter password". [22:42] anyone who can tell me why I cant make a playlist for Rythmbox music player? or if there is a better music player out there (winamp like) [22:42] soundray: the address of the computer I trying to log from [22:42] lisa_, go to medibuntu.org and odd the repo following the instructions there. Then install the package rar nad use the default Ubuntu archive manager (file-roller) [22:42] soundray: with :0.0 at the end [22:43] LjL, yes thats what I want! encrypt using rar. [22:43] GaMbi_DK: vlc is more like winamp; you should be able to make playlists in Rhythmbox. [22:43] LjL, you see? that was the answer I wanted! Sudo apt-get install rar. [22:43] lisa_: yes, and that's done with the very tool that mora was suggesting you use. [22:43] lisa_, Do what I said then. [22:44] lisa_: then you asked completely the wrong question. i'd apologize to mora if i were you. [22:44] jken146, i did it by using "sudo apt-get install rar" [22:44] LjL, mora didnt suggest rar [22:44] 10? 20? [22:44] lisa_, yup, that's it :) [22:44] lisa_: was about to, except you told them off before they even could. [22:44] <_mora> precisely. [22:44] kandjar: then the server will set up a separate, unencrypted channel to your X. That's insecure and inefficient, and it requires you to run the xhost command locally (xhost + to enable X connections from anywhere) [22:44] LjL, 1. you are not me. 2. mora didnt suggest rar. 3. i only apologise when its due. 4. you should see the pm he sent me [22:44] hello, i have a problem with wine and the sound, can somebody help me [22:45] lisa_: well, unfortunately i only see the public messages in this channel. so i can only strongly suggest that you read the following [22:45] !guidelines > lisa_ (lisa_, see the private message from Ubotu) [22:45] lisa_, please see my private message [22:45] uwe: Go on. [22:45] i jus found out Ubuntu has a server edition too [22:45] grr i locked myself out on a client machine after setting up pam to use ldap [22:45] <_mora> the private messages she's talking about are here: http://pastebin.com/me625f96 [22:46] hi guys. I've been advised to upgrade samba to the latest version (SVN issues). I'm using 8.04, and the latest version seems to show as 3.0.28a. Any ideas on the best way to update it? [22:46] anyway, thanks jken146. I found the answer I wanted. Using rar to encrypt in ubuntu! send file to my windows email account and decrypt in windows using winrar :-) [22:46] my english is not the best, but i will try [22:46] server edition sounds interesting. I wounder how many users it supports? [22:46] <_mora> i assure you that i did not say anything inappropriate in PM. or much of anything at all, heh. [22:46] _mora, let's just consider the matter closed at this point [22:47] soundray: so I shouldn't set it up by hand [22:47] <_mora> ljl: sure. [22:47] _mora did NOT say anything inappropriate in PM to me, I never claimed he did. I just said, "you should see the pm he sent me" :) [22:47] i wish to run the game Homeworld 1 with wine 1.1.2 and the the game does not start with the alsa [22:47] jken146, I got VLC for playing movies.. but I dont find it fitting for music playback... can you tell me how to make a play list? when I do "Music->playlist->save to file" on a playlist.. shut down the player.. and when I try to open the playlist It opens in "movie player" when I try to open with Rythembox music player.. it opens the player and shuts down.. any hints? this is ubuntu 7.04 [22:47] does any1 hav experince with a server here [22:47] kandjar: definitely not if you're using the WAN connection and you value your privacy and security [22:48] _mora, ok ok! im SORRY if I jumped to wrong conclusions. thanks for trying to help me. I know you meant well [22:48] i search google, but find no woraround [22:48] _mora, i know your intentions were honourable [22:48] workaround [22:48] soundray: ok understood, I was just trying to get it working... [22:48] Malik_: just ask the question [22:48] _mora, were you going to suggest rar when I asked about winrar? [22:48] <_mora> yeah. [22:49] _mora, be honest now :) [22:49] soundray: any idea about what I should do? [22:49] <_mora> rar is what i use. [22:49] your nose is growing :0 [22:49] hi [22:49] ok [22:49] so when a server is made and it has files on it how do the other computers acess it is it liek a website [22:49] lisa_: would probably have suggested "unrar", without knowledge that you'd be wanting to *compress* and not *extract* [22:49] GaMbi_DK: Not sure I can help you much with the rhythmbox problem. You could try a different player, e.g. exaile though. Perhaps an upgrade to Gutsy (and then to Hardy maybe) would fix the issue. [22:49] Malik_: you need to run a webserver on it [22:49] _mora, if you use rar, then tell me.. how do I create a file using a password? [22:49] DavidCanarias: still around? [22:49] Malik_: keep in mind you can do this on a desktop - you don't need a special server install [22:49] u donot? [22:49] I just got my ubuntu -> compiz .7.6 to work with separate X screen and Im still able to watch movies on 2nd screen (TV) and change desktops on monitor :P [22:49] then wat r the special sever editions [22:49] _mora, you use rar, so you would know the command, right? [22:49] lisa_: there's not much else one could have suggested, anyway - "rar" and "unrar" are the only tools in Ubuntu that allow working with RAR files. anyway, why don't we just consider the issue closed as i said? this is just keeping the channel busy now. [22:50] LjL, ok cheers [22:50] Malik_: for enterprise hardware (not meant for home use) [22:50] o [22:50] salve [22:50] so is a router a server to [22:50] !it | anarkia [22:50] anarkia: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [22:50] kandjar: I'm not sure. Maybe your server is missing X-related packages that would, when installed, enable X forwarding -- but I don't know. Perhaps the people in #ubuntu-server will know what the problem is [22:50] cause with it i can share printers [22:50] and share files [22:50] jken146, im using hardy .7.6 [22:50] in the sharing fodler [22:50] Malik_: a router is a different technology [22:50] _mora has gone to look up how to create a password rar file :) [22:50] Malik_: The server edition basically has another kernel, optimised for server hardware. It doesn't have the GUI installed at all by default either [22:50] so how is a sever diffrent from a router [22:51] lisa_, enough, please [22:51] i can share files with a router and share printers [22:51] GaMbi_DK, Oh ok, I thought you said you were on 7.04. Never mind! [22:51] soundray: mmm ok :) [22:51] Malik_: a server is something that "serves" services and people, a router provides network routing [22:51] soundray: thanks anyway, I'll try the ubuntu-server channel then :) [22:51] Malik_: you may want to check wikipedia for defintions [22:51] jken146, 8.04 :P [22:51] so lets say u hav a server [22:51] can someone help me with java.. i have it installed the plugin but it isnt working [22:51] can some help me? please [22:51] and u want me to connect to it [22:51] LjL: salve is a greeting in a few more languages :) [22:51] hi i'm an ubuntu newbie, wondering if anyone can tell me the basics of setting up a local development environment for a couple of projects. I'm not sure how to configure for multiple "sites" though [22:51] how will i conneect to it form here [22:52] aflack: what happens exactly? How doesn't it work? [22:52] <_mora> SirMajid, are you still there? [22:52] Malik_: web / http, ssh, telnet, ftp what ever you need === Joint_ is now known as TiMiDo [22:52] lg29: Web server?

And have you restarted your browser? [22:53] how does the enviroment of a server look is it jus liek what ever i put in my sharing folder will be on ur computer [22:53] LjL: ah you did your homework first :) [22:53] !lamp > Neelabh [22:53] Neelabh, please see my private message [22:53] <_mora> SirMajid: you need to enable restricted drivers. Should be in your System > Administration menu, s'far as i recall. [22:53] how do check to see how much ram i have, and what speed its running at? [22:53] LjL, I cant fogure out the command to create a password rar file [22:53] jrib: it qwasnt a pack it was from the site and dur i restarted my browser [22:53] i just upgraded and want to make sure it's working correctly [22:53] LjL, any ideas pls? [22:53] pyrak: you could boot into memtest [22:53] Malik_: no [22:53] hey jrib , if i download the source files in tar.bz2 format then [22:53] ? [22:53] hi , is there a problem with codecs on amarok on ubuntu 8.04 ? I installed the win32 codecs and non-free codecs as well as amarok engines... and i can't get it to play shoutcast audio streams.. even though vlc can [22:53] jkenl46: yep. don't need to access it remotely though, just for testing. I have lamp running, just not sure what to do for multiple test sites (eg 127.0.0.1 = localhost, 127.0.0.x = mytestsite1, 127.0.0.y = mytestsite2, etc) [22:53] it just complains about the decoder... [22:53] lisa_, i don't know how that's done from inside file-roller (since i'm a KDE user), but from the command line, it's just rar's "-p" option === felix-da-catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [22:54] Neelabh: no. Read the page that ubottu sent, it tells you how to use the package manager to install apache [22:54] aflack: right. You should use the packages from the repositories. They set things up for you. You need to install the sun-java6-plugin package if you want sun's java plugin [22:54] LjL, lol [22:54] Neelabh: more general advice for installing software is here: [22:54] !software > Neelabh [22:54] Neelabh, please see my private message [22:54] i wana know of how it looks on the giving computer and reciving computer [22:54] lisa_: file-roller can do it. It's in 'other options' in the 'save as' box when you choose rar as the type of archive [22:55] _mora, you are an avid rar user you said, so can you pls tell me how I create a password rar file? [22:55] jken146, what? [22:55] jrib: this is under synaptic? [22:55] lisa_, now you're just being a troll. [22:55] Neelabh: it's recommended you install from the repositories. No need to download any tar.gz yourself. See ubottu, but poke me if you are unsure about anything [22:55] lg29: the Ubuntu apache2 community doc page tells you I think [22:55] jken146, i didnt understand what u said [22:55] aflack: right [22:55] lisa_: "man rar". the "-p" option is explained there. go read it. [22:55] LjL, dont judge [22:55] jken146, what do you mean? It's in 'other options' in the 'save as' box when you choose rar as the type of archive? [22:55] i serached exactly what you said and nothing cxame up [22:55] sorry for typos lol [22:56] anyone know how to create a rar file with a password? [22:56] Neelabh: ubottu is just a bot by the way, he can't really have a conversation :) [22:56] lisa_: did you try reading the information LjL told you about? [22:56] join #PS3 [22:57] lisa_, That's where I found the password option. Start file-roller. Create a new archive. Choose rar sa the format. Expand the other options just below the format choice menu and enter a password. [22:57] jrib:nothing came up from search [22:57] anyone here use JanusVM, Tor, GNUnet, Freenet or I2P ?

[22:58] jrib: x86_64.. [22:59] aflack: sun does not provide a 64bit java plugin. Your only options on 64bit are to either use an open java like gcjwebplugin or to install a 32bit firefox as described in !java64 [22:59] Craihhgney, i sometimes use Tor.. [22:59] Adriaan: your link is timing out [22:59] jrib: where can i get a 32bit firefox then [22:59] !java64 | aflack [22:59] aflack: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [22:59] Adriaan do you know anything about chaining proxies with tor?

[23:07] formode: depends on what you have installed [23:07] ikonia, I have 64 bit ubuntu 8.04, fully updated. [23:07] formode: it depends on what additional software from the base [23:08] anyone here have an iphone and linux? if so have you managed to make it sync or get itunes working? [23:08] ikonia, Ah, ok. :) [23:08] ronzilla: it doesn't sync well [23:08] nokia hi [23:08] what about if i create a virtual build [23:08] of windows [23:08] ronzilla, currently Iphone 2.0 software does not work with linux. :( The onyl way to do it is to SSH, which I'm not sure if that works anymore. [23:08] ronzilla: what about it ? [23:09] to run itunes [23:09] and sync my iphone [23:09] ronzilla: yes ? what about it [23:09] thats windows - nothing to do with ubuntu [23:09] just wondering if it will [23:09] work [23:09] ronzilla: thats windows [23:09] hey anyone, how would i fill a feature request [23:09] My friend is asking about Linux on a http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9052945&type=product&id=1218012528210, can anyone give me some idea how that'd work? [23:09] ronilla, The thing is, that, ubuntu doesn't even recognize the device mount. So a virtual windows won't pick it up. [23:10] dunas: looks fine === alberto is now known as Guest39263 [23:10] ronzilla May I suggest, in the future, checking compatability before pruchasing? [23:10] kandjar: are you doing it?

I'd like to use the super key if i could. [23:10] looks like i have to go back to XP [23:10] How can I get an automatically created link to my mounted devices on my desktop? Usually it does that by itself, but after a reinstall it won't do that anymore [23:10] ronzilla Yes. :) If you have a complaint please mail steve@apple.com [23:10] mouser-: turn off the shortcut key for the menu. Should be in preferences -> keyboard shortcuts [23:11] haha yeah i i really like this OS too =/ [23:11] ronzilla, Well, why not dual boot? [23:11] Hi could some one please help who knows about drivers i have installed the new ubuntu, and i tryed installing the same drivers i got from aircrack for my rtl818 alfa network wifi, but now when i get to the make make install it appers with an error does it have a conflict with the ubuntu drivers or is there some thing else that it wrong also is there away of downloading the old linux headers because they dont seem to appear in synaptic if som [23:11] e one could help plaese thanks in advance [23:11] !ibex > MrD1 [23:11] MrD1, please see my private message [23:11] i dont really want to bother booting between 2 different OS's just to sync my phone [23:12] ronzilla I gave up my ipod touch for linux. :-P [23:12] hmm, so, still trying to figure out quickest way to (drupal, multi site) development environment. i found this "drubuntu" vmware image here - http://groups.drupal.org/node/6260 . Can anyone advise/discourage me about whether this is a good solution? vmware player is already set up. thanks! [23:12] jrib: I looked there, but couldn't find the correct setting. [23:12] ronzilla, Then why did you buy the phone without checking if it would work? [23:12] yeah but im stuck 2 years with my iphone and AT&T [23:12] i had the phone, i just installed linux over the weekend [23:12] TheFiller: in gconf-editor, tick the checkbox for /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible [23:12] ronzilla: sorry [23:12] mouser-: Desktop -> Show the panel menu [23:13] Is there any way of using the Find/replace function in OO.o that can replace spaces with tabs or returns? [23:13] ronzilla, go tell the phone company it won't work with your computer, maybe they'll give you a different phone :) [23:13] i dont want one :( [23:13] ronzilla: It's probable due to its popularity that someone will make it compatable in the future, as well, if Virtualbox/VMware/etc or dual-booting isn't a solution [23:13] ronzilla Linux or iphone then, is your question. Linux, in the future, will probably support the iphone, it just needs to be cracked. [23:14] ronzilla: you can sync your iphone, but you need to jailbreak it (see help.ubuntu.com) [23:14] Never mind [23:14] jrib, he's refering to iphone 2.0 [23:14] GodfatherofEire: you have to enable regular expressions in the dialog and use escape codes for tab and return (might be ^t and ^$, but better to look it up in the help) [23:14] Yeah, just found that [23:14] soundray: thank you, but it is already checked :S [23:14] But thanks for the help Soundray [23:14] TheFiller: ah [23:15] soundray: done [23:15] kandjar: so? [23:15] jrib: that setting shows a panel menu next to the mouse cursor, but doesn't disable the super key opening that menu.

I mean, people receive like haft of the sentence I typed, incomplete mails, does anyone could tell me how to fix that? [23:16] kandjar: there's a clue in 109 [23:16] Anza: thats going to be down to your smtp server [23:17] ikonia, and how could I fix it? [23:17] Anza: depends on your problem [23:17] kandjar: do you have the xauth package installed on the server? [23:18] dunno [23:18] kandjar: can you find out? [23:18] jrib: Correct. It looks like it was a custom menu applet that was masquerading as the main menu that was causing the problem. I removed it and restored the correct main menu and it works now. Thanks. [23:18] ikonia, how could I know? :S [23:18] soundray: how? [23:18] I just switched over from debian to ubuntu. For some reason my internet on ubuntu is extremely slow. How can I figure out why? [23:18] Anza: what / who's smtp server are you using [23:18] !tab [23:18] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:18] anyone has flash 10 installed ? do you got a strange right click behavior ? [23:18] kandjar: sudo apt-get install xauth [23:18] k [23:19] ikonia, yahoo?

[23:20] hello to all , i cannot create a internet connection share (from a wireless ath0 to a eth0 one), is there any link for try again to configure it?? [23:20] It becomes really slow [23:20] even the mouse moves slow [23:20] How can I get an automatically created link to my mounted devices on my desktop? Usually it does that by itself, but after a reinstall it won't do that anymore [23:20] kandjar: when done, disconnect and reconnect with ssh -X [23:20] ikonia, I mean, its happening with yahoo account, when I go to addons / preferences in webmail it says the SMPT server is running! [23:20] and the windows open really late [23:20] Guest, are you using firestarter? [23:20] Anza: your using webmail ?

(They just don't show up on the desktop) [23:21] TheFiller: might be worth mentioning that volumes_visible is set [23:21] how do you think obuntu will run on a dell d400 laptop [23:21] anyone here use JanusVM, Tor, GNUnet, Freenet, JAP or I2P ? [23:21] jrib: yes [23:21] ronzilla: depends on the spec [23:21] has anyone used an esata connected drive in ubuntu? does it work like a removable usb or firewire drive (user mountable and unmountable) or does it work like a new HDD (only root can mount/umount?) ? [23:21] ikonia, webmail, as an add on, to run the email accounts in thunderbird [23:21] soundray: ooooh!! [23:21] mouser-: do you know what the problem is? [23:21] soundray: looks like its working!!! :) [23:21] iread, one moment i give a look (i have tryed with firestarter without succces) [23:22] i think its a 1.4 P4 with 1 gig ram [23:22] !yay | kandjar [23:22] kandjar: Glad you made it! :-) [23:22] ronzilla: How much RAM does that have? [23:22] 1 gug [23:22] gig* [23:22] ronzilla: Should be OK [23:22] ronzilla: should run "fine" [23:22] has anybody had my problem? [23:23] sirMajid: Did you recently install Ubuntu?

[23:23] Anza: probably a problem with the addon then, as yahoo mail only supports paid pop3 support, which you don't seem to be using [23:23] kandjar: it's strange that xauth wasn't installed -- the openssh-server package depends on it [23:23] mouser-: but my friends installed it at the same time but they have it working fine. [23:23] f|uke, is very different from the previous try, i'll try it: but is strange that a diffused distro like ubu gve this kind of prob [23:23] soundray: wow the connection is REALLY slow :):):):) [23:24] f|uke, thx === cherry is now known as Charitwo [23:24] kandjar: remind me, is your server version 8.04? [23:24] just opening a text ed (emacs) it really slow :) it's maybe just the startup point :) [23:24] Guest, I used that with success. Good luck === richard is now known as Guest90532 [23:24] soundray: yeah [23:24] i hope too [23:24] soundray: it is [23:24] thx [23:24] wen she move that thing [23:24] anyone here use the wusb54GC NIC on Hardy? [23:25] ikonia, no, never paid anything for any email account, but it was working well all along till today, so, I just wonder if somehow I broke something LOL, I mean the configuration of something... [23:25] kandjar: try with ssh -XC (enables compression) [23:25] Anza: probably the addon by the sounds of it [23:25] jrib: it returns true [23:25] anyone has flash 10 installed ? do you got a strange right click behavior ? [23:25] TheFiller: do you have any icons on your desktop? [23:26] jrib: yes, plenty [23:26] hasn't anybody had a problem like mine? [23:26] hi [23:26] no one? [23:26] I'm wondering if I should use the default rtx200 drivers given by default in hardy [23:26] i have a challenge with ubuntu 8.10 firefox [23:26] !Xorg [23:26] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[23:27] October 30th.. so close [23:28] should i paste it in the bin [23:28] I wonder if they're working madly on bug squashing [23:28] f|uke: :-) yup. gonna be great.

[23:29] ikonia, that proved like... nothing :P [23:29] Guest90532: ops I can't test I'm not in uk [23:29] ikonia: ok then you have a lot of free time criticizing my words [23:29] !pastebin [23:29] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[23:30] ikonia: well, I thought maybe someone pays attention that's all [23:30] ikonia: as you did [23:30] sirMajid: they are paying attention [23:30] jrib: yes, and I just found out that it works if the mount point is either in /media or in the home folder. It does not work anywhere else [23:30] sirMajid: but as I said saying "no-one" doesn't help get a response [23:30] ikonia: ok [23:30] Guest90532: anyway as reported on google iplayer is not available for linux [23:30] Guest90532: http://bbciplayerlinux.sourceforge.net/index.php/Main_Page [23:31] visik7: google or bbc iplayer [23:31] f|uke, did the newest ubuntu release add some additional support to this internet connection share? [23:31] ikonia: come on... [23:31] visik7: what do you mean, come on ? [23:31] visik7: I'm asking which one [23:31] visik7: I miss-read your statment [23:31] what do i do with this file? VMware-Player-2.5.0-118166.i386.bundle [23:32] reported on google = if you do a search on google [23:32] visik7: ye, I miss-read [23:32] yes [23:32] well the strangest thing is that when i was with 8.04 it was working [23:32] Craihhgney: chmod +x VMware-Player-2.5.0-118166.i386.bundle ./ VMware-Player-2.5.0-118166.i386.bundle [23:32] Guest90532: you can access iplayer through tools like mencoder with the right urls [23:32] Guest90532: dunno sorry [23:33] visik7: same line [23:33] ? [23:33] is there a program to create flow charts in linux? [23:33] Craihhgney: no [23:33] ERROR_SUCCESS: open a terminal and type "apt-cache search flow chart" [23:33] ok [23:34] ERROR_SUCCESS: although, i suggest you try out "dia" too, which is not mentioned there [23:34] ty [23:34] ERROR_SUCCESS: a quick search also turned up kflowchart [23:34] visik7: that didnt do anythinh [23:34] thing [23:34] :-) [23:35] Anyone know how I can get my wireless to work on my macbook with ubuntu linux installed? [23:35] Craihhgney: ? [23:35] ty too [23:35] visik7: that didnt do anything. [23:35] hooray for insipid!

[23:39] if i background a process in one ssh session can i foreground said process in a second ssh session? [23:39] by the way i am watching bbc iplyer right now, but i still not have sound [23:39] with firefox [23:39] f|uke,sorry, did you know if the 8.10 release add some kind of setup for the internet connection share? or better to try the link you posted? [23:39] I have another question, I have ubuntu gutsy installed on my laptop, it was a real pain to setup the wifi network... I'm still encountering issue with the hybernate mode (it sometimes crashes / or reboot on wake up) [23:40] I'd like to move to hardy... however I don't want to reencounter the painful network setup... do you know if it improved? [23:40] hi does any one know were the rtl8187.ko file would be in the lib/ some thing i think i would like to black list it thanks in advance [23:41] setup network setup include: wpa wifi mode [23:41] kandjar, you can always wait a week or so and upgrade to Intrepid [23:41] kandjar: try a live cd [23:41] Can anyone recommend a nice graphical user interface to interact with a git repository? [23:41] csilk: sure i m willing to wait a week :) but will it get better? [23:41] visik7, live cd's dont tell you too much about hardware compatibilty, for example, my wifi card doesnt work on the live cd but does when you install to disk [23:42] kandjar, of course it will [23:42] does any one know where i need to go to black list my rtl8187.ko file [23:42] what printer is gonna have more support in ubuntu? [23:42] same, I tried live cd and wifi/blutooth didnt work [23:42] After copying a DVD film to file, when I try to open pops us this error: An error occurred. Could not open location, you might not have permission to open the file. Does anyone know why this is happening??? [23:42] csilk: if you can setup it from installed you can do it also from the live cd [23:42] soundray, i was able to recover my partitions with the tools you suggested however im having problems reinstalling grub in the appropriate place ..... find /boot/grub/stage1 gives an Error 15: File not found [23:42] how do I edit GNOME screen rotation from terminal? [23:43] linkmaster03: xrandr [23:43] visik7, of course you can, from the live cd i can compile the source etc etc butf rom disk ubuntu does it automatically, for some reason the live cd doesnt see it as a supported card [23:43] csilk: I know ubuntu will obviously get better, but I m wondering if they made a lot of changes on the wifi part of it [23:43] Sylphid|work: /dev/sda5 is your root partition, correct? [23:43] csilk: ubuntu doesn't compile it automatically [23:43] kandjar, yes since gutsy wiki is better supported [23:43] Does anyone know why I can copy some DVD's successfully and others I can't. Are some more protected than others [23:44] visik7, ok, skip the obvious logical flaw in what I just said and I'm sure you can still understand what I mean [23:44] csilk: btw what's the wifi chipset ? [23:44] side funny note: I have a bluetooth microsoft mouse which work perfectly fine under linux, but I can't get it to work under winxp :):):):) [23:44] soundray, /dev/sda6 [23:44] soundray, it is currently mounted to /boot [23:44] visik7, atheros [23:44] DavidCanarias: What application are you using to view them? [23:44] Sylphid|work: do you have a directory /boot/boot/grub ? [23:44] never had problems with atheros cards quite strange [23:45] csilk: what's the best way to move to intrepid? install on top of gutsy, or reinstall from scratch? [23:45] hi all of a sudden my arrow keys do not work anymore on my hp tx1000 laptop, they are physically ok as they work in windows [23:45] any ideas [23:45] visik7, not have I other that in the live cd [23:45] soundray, no only /boot/grub [23:45] kandjar, from gutsy I would (personally) go for a clean install from disk [23:45] **nor [23:46] csilk: ok [23:46] Sylphid|work: are you on the live system at the moment? [23:46] KrOntab: To be honest I don't know. Someone helped me install mediubuntu -keyring and libdvdcss2??? and on the DVD I just click to copy? Any ideas? [23:46] soundray, ok i found it omitting /boot .... [23:46] kandjar, it sure beats when I used to use slackware, had to compile kernal header, install kernal headers then do the same with the madwifi driver ;) [23:46] soundray, yes.... [23:46] DavidCanarias: oh so you're trying to copy DVD's... [23:46] Sylphid|work: what did you find? [23:46] csilk: :) [23:46] soundray, (hd0,5) [23:47] soundray, i think i understand from here [23:47] hi everyone [23:47] csilk: I used to use slackware too :), then move to redhat, then suse, then mandrake, then ubuntu :) [23:47] someone wanna talk ? [23:47] lol [23:47] KrOntab: Yes I just want to copy but have one drive so put it in the computer first and then just copy to DVD [23:47] You can make flow charts in openoffice [23:47] Sylphid|work: I don't... but as long as you're happy, I am, too :) [23:47] DavidCanarias: success is pretty subjective... but I can recomend two apps... k9copy and dvd95 [23:47] anyone has flash 10 installed ? do you got a strange right click behavior ? [23:47] the latter is what I've been using lately... and it's just very easy to use.. [23:48] csilk: i forgot fedora before ubuntu :) [23:48] soundray, can you explain why /boot is unneeded .... does it automatically scan all mount points? [23:48] KrOntab: Thks very much, I am interested, but how can I find out how to do the copying? [23:48] Sylphid|work: I don't think it does, and I don't understand what you're up to, so I honestly can't comment. [23:49] DavidCanarias: I don't have specific links... but if you want to just start playing with these applications... they're available in the repositories... [23:49] visik7, no, seems normal. small menu for "about" and "settings" [23:49] DavidCanarias: and a quick search for the project home pages on google will serve you well... [23:49] hey, where should i extract "eclipse" folder? I think it's the whole program.. is it a good idea to put it in ~/ ? [23:50] f|uke: I got the firefox menu and the flash menu one over the other [23:50] DavidCanarias: did you ever figure out dvdbackup? [23:50] ryan8403, i did it in /home/username [23:50] soundray, one last question .... after recovering my partitions all the flags were lost.... since my boot partition is a logical partition should the boot flag be on the extended partition or the logical partition...or perhaps both [23:50] KrOntab: I will give it a try, but I have had so many suggestions I can't make any work. [23:50] ryuho: you shouldn't extract eclipse at all -- install it through the package manager instead [23:50] !software > ryuho [23:50] ryuho, please see my private message [23:50] soundray, the package manager has an old version [23:50] DavidCanarias: personally speaking... I use dvd95 to rip the DVD's to ISO's... and then just right click on the newly created ISO... and burn it via nautilus. [23:50] he probably wants the latest [23:50] jrib: Hi again. No I couldn't get anywhere. I got to a certain point and got lost when it came to giving a location and file name [23:51] Anyone know good laptop to buy @ 700 to 800 so so price range [23:51] Falcons_roost, dell 1525 [23:51] DavidCanarias: but it's just one command, it copies it to your current worknig directory [23:51] DavidCanarias: feel free to pm me as this question isn't necessarily ubuntu specific. [23:51] Sylphid|work: I never bother with boot flags. Grub ignores them, as far as I know. They are only relevant with DOS MBRs. [23:51] KrOntab: With the one I have installed I don't need to rip, it copies automatically to an iso and I just copy to disc. It seems some DVD's won't open after copying. [23:51] soundray, ubuntu's repo is outdated [23:51] ok [23:52] ryuho: have you checked backports as well? [23:52] soundray, ahh fair enough thanks for the help.. your a life saver [23:52] they only have 3.2 in repo, but the software it's self is already 3.4 [23:52] soundray, or at least a data saver [23:52] soundray, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=532800 [23:52] i have a security question, [23:52] jrib: Do you use dvd backup? [23:52] DavidCanarias: yes [23:53] Hi, is there any way to automatically download all deb files that are installed on a given system? [23:53] Sylphid|work: I'm glad you think I've helped you ;) [23:53] while booting, it's possible to start with "init 3" which allow anyone with a physical access to the box to reset the root pwd and do whatever they want with it [23:53] anyway to prevent that? === AJC_Z0- is now known as AJC_Z0 [23:53] vincenzo: PErhaps not automatically. But they are all in /var/cache/apt/archives you can just copy them wherever [23:53] without putting a system pwd? [23:53] Can you explain to me pass by pass what to do if you have time? [23:53] Maybe pm? [23:54] kandjar: why? anyone with physical access can do whatever they want anyway [23:54] kandjar: init levels 2,3,4 and 5 are identical on ubuntu system [23:54] kandjar: remove the entry from the boot and put a password in the grub edit mode [23:54] DavidCanarias: there's nothing to explain. I just put my dvd in the drive and run 'dvdbackup -M -v'. That's all [23:54] hey, I'm having problem with playing mp3s on ubuntu. I am able to play other media where the audio plays, but for some reason, mp3s are not playing back. [23:55] coeus, re-install the codec [23:55] anyone know if theres a repo with newer versions of fglrx (ati drivers) [23:55] kandjar: ubuntu uses upstart instead of the old style SysV init levels. Yes, you can boot an Ubuntu machine to a root shell without a password by selecting Recovery mode at the grub menu. I second jrib's comment... [23:55] jrib: Ok I put the DVD in as you say and then open Terminal and type in dvdbackup -M -v [23:55] DavidCanarias: exactly [23:56] jrib: then I will try and tell you what happens OK [23:56] DavidCanarias: sure [23:56] djungelkraem, the intrepid repo has newer versions [23:56] csilk? Which one do I reinstall? gstreamer? ubuntu restricted extras? [23:56] csilk: you run those drivers? [23:56] soundray, just wanted to let you know that my system is back up and operational as normal thanks again for the help [23:57] jrib, soundray: I agree anyone with a physical access will be able to access it, it doesnt mean you should give him the key [23:57] djungelkraem, no, I'm useing the fglrx-xorg ones for ATI from the hardy update repo [23:57] *using [23:57] soundray, from what i gather it seems that growing my extended partition never succeeded with gparted and it actually deleted all of my logicals [23:57] kandjar: encrypt your drive if you actually want to do anything effective. Setting a bios password may slow someone down for a minute too I guess [23:57] djungelkraem, probably the same ones your using [23:58] jrib: I agree with the systemn pwd, but encrypted a sever without monitor attached to it, is quite painful to boot [23:58] csilk: i think so [23:58] ne1 know if theres a app like papers for linux? http://mekentosj.com/papers/ [23:58] Sylphid|work: did you run e2fsck on the logical partitions after recovering the partition table? [23:58] jrib I thought about it actually [23:58] djungelkraem, why do you want newer ones? [23:58] and tried [23:58] kandjar: I'm just giving you the facts about what you are asking [23:58] csilk: i heard from someone that the newer versions solved much of X1950Pros problems [23:58] genii: well, I periodically run apt-get clean :-) [23:58] csilk, what codec do I need to reinstall? The gstreamer package? [23:58] jrib: I knwo :) I m just pointing out that I tried and it's not practical for a server box [23:59] djungelkraem, oh rite, i wouldnt know as I'm using a 2400 HD [23:59] ok im back on my laptop, its running winXP. its 1.7 Ghz pentium M. 2 gigs of RAM and has an intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics controller....will all that work OK with ubuntu? Dual screen as well? [23:59] coeus, Whichever one came with the mp3 codec? [23:59] soundray, no i didnt ...all of the partition changes were done from a live image not from the hard drive so it didnt seem necessary [23:59] jrib, no luck, this is what happened : bash : -v: command not found [23:59] csilk: ok.. well im seriously afraid of installing any other drivers since its #!&!! my gnome login/ totally made the computer go nuts [23:59] DavidCanarias: paste what you typed exactly
