Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [01:11] DocUSN-USMC, go for linux .deb unless you needd java in which case you should get the one with the jre [01:11] DocUSN-USMC: what's wrong with the OpenOffice.org version bundled with ubuntu 8.04? [01:11] any indea danny [01:11] its 2.4 and doesnt have the new functions i need [01:11] * Puppy is about to give up lol [01:11] what would be the command to find the full file path of file if all i know is the end of the path? in my example "Interface\FrameXML\GameTooltip.lua" (it's within wine) [01:11] crdlb, it has bugs and less features than the new one -_- [01:11] * Puppy cant justify spending 5 days tryign to install an os [01:12] crdlb, that's usually the case with all older software [01:12] theJKH: In printers on the settings tab for that printer does it say usb://(something?)

[01:13] DasEi - gpartition has the drivers, but i dunno how to find them [01:14] DocUSN-USMC, you said "should i get linux .deb or the one with JRE", jre is the java runtime, if you dont have java installed already then get the one with JRE bundled, otherwise just get the .deb one [01:14] oh ok [01:14] it does say hp:/uab/deskjet_f4200_series ect [01:14] usb [01:15] JKH back in a min [01:15] csilk what does 3.0.0rc4 mean?

I'm stating my problem for the second time.. [01:39] where are iptables rules file located? shouldn't it be in /etc/iptables? [01:39] redheat_, that may of looked bold to you, but not to anyone else [01:39] Does anyone know why a server give page A when you enter the url, but page B when you enter its IP? ip as in resolved from the url [01:39] Well it says its useing the f4100 drivers when the printer is f4280 [01:39] redheat_: "can anyone help me" doesn't accomplish anything. Just state your problem, if no one answers, ask again in about 30-40 minutes, etc. [01:39] Sounds like that might be the issue. [01:39] I stated the problem TWICE.. [01:39] It detected the printer as a 4200 though right? [01:40] csilk, is it just a temp glitch maybe?> [01:40] well read this here and tell me if this makes any sence [01:40] kelder, theres such things as virtualhosts apache can distinguish how client accesses page one name gives one page another name gives other both are resolved to same ip [01:40] After_Math, Probably, have you closed firefox yet? [01:40] Yeah it does [01:40] !virtualhosts [01:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about virtualhosts [01:40] http://mylinuxexploits.wordpress.com/2008/09/07/installing-my-new-hp-f4280-deskjet-printer-in-ubuntu-gutsy/ [01:40] csilk, just killed process with htop [01:41] bronzewalla84: that card should work fine out of the box. compiz was originally blacklisted, but I believe that's been resolved. [01:41] csilk, still happening [01:41] usser: thank you.. so the url doesnt really have a (single) ip attached to it? [01:41] redheat_, yes, and twice no-one replied because a) people are busy b) people dont know c) you didnt give nearly enough info to rouse anyones attention [01:41] kelder, take a look here http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/ [01:41] how do i install java [01:41] After_Math, hit log out, then log back in again, that will restart x and compiz [01:41] it wont work :( [01:41] kelder, well yea each url has only one ip associated to it, ip can have many urls [01:41] GumBall, any errors for us? [01:42] Flannel: it didn't work out of the box, i switched to vesa drivers and am now stuck at 800x600 display with no compiz [01:42] usser: so you couldnt redirect another url to that ip? [01:42] Have you tried that already JHK? [01:42] usser: to get the same page i mean [01:42] $50 to get ubuntu installed on this pc ? [01:42] bronzewalla84: Is this an upgrade or a fresh install? [01:42] csilk, npe [01:42] fresh install [01:42] nope* [01:42] kelder, yes sure you can, trick is how you configure your http server [01:42] whats the package? [01:42] name [01:42] Puppy, I suggest you try google for 30 mins then come back and ask anyone if they know about the installation process if you;re still not sorted [01:42] Flannel: i've tried feisty, gutsy, hardy, and intrepid. Server and desktop versions [01:43] wow it really does take days to do peer to peer of linux software doesnt it :( [01:43] GumBall, so what do you mean when you say "it wont work" [01:43] csilk - ive been lookign into this for 3 days before i even came to IRC [01:43] i mean [01:43] usser: ok thanks.. ill make the request to my hosting company then [01:43] i need to install it, whats the package name? [01:43] DocUSN-USMC: depends on the swarm and your bandwidth, and whether or not you volunteered to murder people [01:43] kelder, in apache virtualhosts have to be setup explicitly, if a virtualhost for a url is not setup then, apache serves the default page [01:43] Puppy, so basically Ubuntu isn;t detecting your SATA drives? [01:43] in basic yeah [01:43] csilk ^^ [01:43] JHK did you try that site you showed me? [01:44] GumBall: java.sun.com and download/ install JRE [01:44] whats murdering people got to do with this? they found a talent for my serial killing [01:44] csilk, ok thanks [01:44] !java | GumBall [01:44] GumBall: 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 [01:44] csilk - but xp does, bois does and gparted does [01:44] has anyone had issues upgrading to the latest VLC?

[01:44] Puppy, it's a bios issue [01:44] can anyone help me now? if possible [01:44] Yeh im reinstalling hplip [01:44] Flannel - live goes to busy box, alt loads and runs until partition stage, then cant find drives [01:45] k I was just gonna say if that don't work try this http://meandubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/12/29/installing-my-hp-laserjet-printer-in-ubuntu/ [01:45] redheat_: Again, state your question, wait for answer, if its been 30-40 minutes and no one has answered, ask the question again. [01:45] hey, i installed apache2 and php5 but i dion't think php is getting loaded, how can i check? [01:45] Puppy, alot of the time vendors will make crap bios firmware but make just good enough so it works with windows, this badly coded non standard bios firmware can sometimes play havok with OS's that aren't MS based [01:45] csilk - ive tryed every different setting, native ide, legacy ide, raid [01:45] I followed instruction on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound but still don't have sound [01:45] any ideas?

[01:46] what I have to state a question for 10 times before I get any help [01:46] so it will use the other one [01:46] ubuntu sucks when it comes to specifying a audio device [01:46] Puppy, The problem here is vendors not wiritng the bios firmware to the relevent standards and using black magic to get windows to work, what motherboard you got? [01:46] and bios version if possible [01:46] Shawnc [01:46] I have heard that there is something call a "minimal" ubuntu cd, what is this? [01:46] yes GumBall? [01:46] the shawnc? [01:46] redheat_: Obviously no one here right now knows the answer, you'll need to wait for new people to wake up, etc. Spamming the same people over and over isn't going to get it resolved [01:46] *called [01:46] actually it sucks on so many levels like so many other linux distros [01:46] Forget it. I'm not looking to help anyone who will only once state what problem they are having. And not at all when someone offers to help. [01:46] What GumBall? [01:46] Asus - MR2R32-MVP [01:46] Nm :\ [01:47] csilk ^^ [01:47] kr0n05931: its the alternate CD except it doesn't have a package cache on it, so it downloads them from the internet during the install [01:47] whats the prob redheat_ ?

[01:48] my wireless adapter card which is a USB card has its driver compiled and ready to fire up, and yet I can't login to my wireless network.. [01:48] and I googled that.. [01:48] Shawnc you might wanna check that the WEP key is hex. [01:48] no answer to that question.. [01:49] It could be using the other one. [01:49] redheat_, thats a crap question [01:49] for google that is === JESUS is now known as Jesus [01:49] is there a better way to use GTK's includes without using pkg-config?

[01:50] instead of `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` [01:50] csilk erm... probably, depends which area of the bois your talkign abuot [01:50] because everything includes "gtk/gtk.h" and those all include "cairo/cairo.h" etc etc etc [01:50] and yet the packages put includes in other directories [01:50] I GOT IT TO WORK DANNY! THE SWITCH FORM WINDOWS IS COMPLETE [01:50] which strikes me as contrary to the entier point [01:50] wooooo!! [01:50] redheat_, I'm just trying to tell you to stop being a whining petty child and respect the fact NO-ONE has to help you. eben though at some point someone will, now do some legwork and turn off your wep/wpa and tell me if you can login with no security [01:51] theJKH: good for you :) [01:51] noglorp: why do you think pkg-config exists? [01:51] csilk: the word your looking for is HELP VAMPIRE [01:51] Welcome to the real world JHK. The free world [01:51] to fix this problem? [01:51] Puppy, anything to do with HDD config [01:51] but why is the problem there in the first place [01:51] OMG tanks im so glad to be out of windows!!! [01:51] csilk nope, want a video of my settigns regarding HDD ? [01:51] csilk, that's crossing a line..show some respect..you don't wanna help fine, just don't cross the line.. [01:51] Puppy, yeah sure [01:51] csilk brb [01:52] do most people need to use multiple different versions of these libraries at the same time? [01:52] noglorp: there _is_ no problem, pkg-config makes everything easy as cake [01:52] redheat_, I just offered help, i asked you to do a basic test fo rme [01:52] *for me [01:52] Flannel: i've followed that guide and the troubleshooting tips and it still asks me if i want to download the php files instead of parsing them [01:52] thank you but no thanks.. [01:52] Is there a way to sync files but have the file names converted to something compatible with fat32? I've got some music files that I wanted to update copy to my music player but cp -R -u chokes on a few of them. [01:53] how can i look for wattage of power supply? [01:53] is there an option for people who don't need to have more than one version of these libraries at once [01:53] mike-solidus: and you do have libapache2-mod-php5 installed? [01:53] redheat_, ok, you dont want my help? [01:53] Flannel: yes [01:53] mike-solidus: and you've restarted apache? [01:53] because... to me typing 40 more characters is harder than not typing those characters [01:53] noglorp: what are you talking about? [01:53] hi, i have a problem with sound, i changed the motherboard and the sound card today. Now my sound is messed up. When i watch let's say youtube, i have to switch my speakers to integrated realtek sound controller. Now when i watch some movie in VLC media player i need to switch to sound card which is HD Omega Striker 7.1 . How do i solve this problem. How to setup ubuntu to use just Realtek integrated mic and sound? [01:54] Flannel: and i've restarted apache since then, it give me the warning aobut not bieng able to find localhost, but that shouldn't affect it loading modules [01:54] well.. why does pkg-config even exist? [01:54] noglorp: gcc is a low-level tool that has no way of knowing where to look for header files and libraries to link against [01:54] is ther a command to show power supply wattage? [01:54] csilk, if you wanted to help you could have done that before it went down the toilet..one time I'm a crying baby the next I ask crappy questions.. [01:54] noglorp: pkg-config is a high-level tool used to fill that gap [01:54] so please mind your own business.. [01:54] ah... it handles all the libraries too huh [01:54] not just include paths [01:54] isilion, no, you have to read it off the p/s itself [01:54] kay I see the point >< [01:54] ok [01:55] is wpa_supplicant still needed to connect to wpa2 networks? (prefer to stick to cli (iwlist) and avoid the gui wifi-radar apps) [01:55] Hello there, I have a question [01:55] redheat_, yes, your question was pretty crappy and yes you were whining that people don't want to spend their spare time nursgin you. We can end our dialogue now if you please [01:55] admin_masu3701, shoot [01:55] csilk: enough [01:55] noglorp: the most important thing is does is handling dependencies, eg if you use gtk, you need to link against X11 too === Craihhgney is now known as MothOnLovesFlame [01:55] i have 2 partition [01:55] csilk [01:56] it doesnt work, help pls [01:56] admin_masu3701, try to ask your question all on one line, so it's easier to follow please :) [01:56] mike-solidus: eh, this problem is one thats oddly common, and I think the most common solution is to remove apache completely (purge apache2.2-common) and reinstall it; or at least, I don't know of any other solutions (and have never encountered the problem myself). But #ubuntu-server might be able to give you better answers. [01:56] Has anyone tried using a basic webcam for HeadTracking? End goal is headtracking for X-Plane.

[02:25] carrera: so right driver is installed, the main part [02:25] no [02:25] i have keys [02:25] Puppy, see the very bottom post on the bug discussion, it has been advised that you try with the newer kernel and see how that goes [02:25] but i want to fine grain with Allowusers [02:25] but have all allowed with valid ssh key [02:25] csilk how woudl i go about doign that lol [02:25] DasEi, that's great but what else could be wrong? [02:25] but only allowuserrs with password [02:25] AllowedUsers [02:25] carrera: apps>preferences>sound ...set to alsa, right default card... [02:26] Puppy, i'd just download the beta version of ubuntu intrepid and see if that installes, if it does then the issue is fixed, then you only have to wait 6 days for ubuntu intrepid to be released [02:26] csilk that is my exact error though, lemmi finsih reading [02:27] I [02:27] Puppy, one of the bug report respondents said that intrepid works with your hardware, (one post up from the bottom) [02:27] hi [02:27] csilk is right. I mean, if you are going to install, might as well go with the latest and gratest in 6 days, instead of loading the current and upgrading in 6 days.. [02:27] DasEi, just looked it up in my Asus P5E manual and it's bang on. Manual says ADI 1988B [02:27] seems like twice the work.. [02:27] csilk what is intrepid [02:27] I'm running a dell mini 9 netbook, and can't get sound working [02:27] genefitz, he needs the newer kernel which adddresses a known bug with his hardware [02:27] please look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=955783 [02:27] Puppy, intrepid is the code name of the new ubuntu which is to be release in 6 days [02:28] !ibex|Puppy [02:28] Puppy: 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 [02:28] csilk: 8 days [02:28] anyone here know how to open ports with firestarter its being retarded [02:28] csilk, I see. Ya know, it didn't even click.. [02:28] i see, ill dl the iso tonight and give it a try tomorrow :D [02:28] Intrepid Ibex. [02:28] or shall i just wait [02:28] is this confirmed fixe d? [02:28] DasEi, I've all 4 set to ALSA and my Default Mixer Tracks set to HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer) [02:28] csilk - I have the same problem on an ASUS A8V-MX motherboard. Tried the 2.6.25 kernel from the PPA above as well, but same error occurs. [02:28] genii, well, it's 7 actually ;) [02:29] help! [02:29] csilk: In my time zone still 8 :) [02:29] is there anyway to force a process to get killed automatically before it hangs computer? so it can be runned in console and debug? [02:29] Puppy, yes but that was just the kernel upgrade which may not work properly with this version of ubuntu, look at the 3rd post up from the bottom [02:30] csilk im still readingi down :d [02:30] I haven't checked, but will Intrepid be a little more friendly with the eeepc? I have a monster of a time with Hardy. [02:30] I'm running a dell mini 9 netbook, and can't get sound working [02:30] genii, ah your behind my timezone, maybe you need tim eto catch up with me ;) [02:30] I'm having this exact problem on an asus a8v-mx. [02:30] I read here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/18/103 [02:30] I changed sata to ahci in the bios, added only the line pci=nomsi to the kernel boot line, and it seems to be working. [02:31] Puppy, admittadly the post I'm refering to has different hardware, but I would bet intrepid addresses this bug. Give it a try [02:31] DasEi, did that but I still get choppy sound [02:31] carrera:found your solution : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [02:31] genefitz: Perhaps some ppl in the #eeepc channel are running it, you could ask there what their experience has been [02:31] csilk its exactly the same error :d [02:31] ill try this fix [02:31] ok [02:31] DasEi, I've that page loaded [02:32] Hi! [02:32] I am new to UBUNTU but I think I partially solved the problem. [02:32] My pc specs: [02:32] ASUS M2R32-MVP [02:32] Puppy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:32] DasEi, but I was wondering if the problem could be resolved without having to rebuild new kernel modules [02:32] genii, I just reverted back to the original software (the asus version) I just just think that ubuntu may be a bit nicer on it.. [02:32] where are iptables rules file located? [02:32] No real worries though [02:32] Puppy, if the fix works please post a message on the bugtracker saying so [02:33] DasEi, it sacred me when he said, "(Please read the Caveats section!)" [02:33] csilk of course, ive already been speaking to a dev regarding this issue lol, im dumbfounded how he didnt see this [02:33] genefitz: The Knoppix provided by Asus has been tweaked for some of their hardware, so sometimes it can be difficult to get running on other linux without getting your hands dirty [02:33] carrera:there are few more people had same problem... only thing solved could find was that [02:33] csilk ok testing now [02:33] I have gparted open with windows partition on 1 side and ubuntu on the other and a swap partition in the middle. Now i want to make linux partition biger. so what shuld i do at this pooint ? [02:33] genefitz: Or I think is Xandros (their dist by default) [02:33] Hi! I've installed ubuntu 8.04 with LTSP. A thin client uses a pentium I cpu. It works but too slow. Is there any solution. Or it's possible to install LTSP 4.2 on ubuntu 8.04? Please help. [02:34] genii, I found that out really quickly. I had most of it working for a bit, but the wireless, I never could get to work, at least not for any length of time.. [02:34] im looking to dual boot windows and ubuntu but ubuntu is taking up almost all of the hard drive space. im trying to use partition editor to free up the space for windows but it wont edit. any help? [02:34] genii, that was always a worry when I bought it. I am usually not much for proprietary gear.. [02:35] Lungren, how much hard drive space do you have? [02:35] total i think 335 or something [02:35] 335 Gigs? [02:35] 350 [02:35] lungren, sometimes partitin editors can't resize certain parts of a filesystem, when this happens there is nothing you can do about it other than format and re-insatll, after sizing the partition of course [02:35] hello what is the command to listen on any given port [02:35] genefitz: Well, your best bet here on freenode irc for finding out what might or might not work is as I said, the #eeepc channel. I know some there already are using 8.04 [02:35] so i have to delete and re-intall the partitions? [02:35] DasEi, I've only seen "backports" in the Software Sources, Update tab. I don't even know what a backport is, let alone create one! [02:35] maybe not [02:36] does the new linux kernel have proprietary support for nvidia cards? [02:36] genii, I will have to try that after Intrepid comes out.. Thanks :-) [02:36] lungren, how big is the HDD and how much space are you wanting to move around [02:36] ? [02:36] genefitz: You're welcome [02:36] is hdd the hard drive? [02:36] 350gigs [02:36] Lungren, using gpart, you may be able to shrink your home partition. In Ubuntu, the root is usually very small, and the swap (if used) is tiny. [02:37] My guess is that you have probably 250 - 300 gigs in home that should be free and resizable through gpart [02:37] is "partition editor" the same as gpart [02:37] i remember seeing gpart in the program [02:37] !backports|carrera [02:37] carrera: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [02:38] lungren: It's the backend to gparted and qtparted [02:38] how can i see all the ip connected to my computer [02:38] lungren, gpart is *a* partition editor. Usually a little more flexible.. [02:38] ok ill look [02:38] It should be in the officially supported software.. [02:38] !packaging [02:38] The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [02:38] does the new linux kernel have proprietary support for nvidia cards? [02:39] gnome partition editor, yeah. i have it already [02:39] can anyone tell me if there's an alarm for ubuntu that i can set to remind myself to go to appointments at a certain time every day and take medications at a certain time every day, with loud sounds? [02:39] i was trying to edit it there but it wont let me do anything really [02:39] carrera:the current kernel has probs with your s-card, also could try F6 at Bootup, then : pnpacpi=off [02:39] howdy, folks [02:39] Howdy pipegeek [02:39] any idea what's going on with packages.ubuntu.com? [02:40] is youtube freezing konqueror a known problem? is there a known fix? [02:40] lungren, unfer "all software" in add/remove, type in partition. [02:40] DasEi, how do u know that? [02:40] There are usually about a half dozed parition editors. [02:40] under even' [02:40]  FAJ:current has, xorg 7.4 still probs [02:41] DasEi: in the newest kernel that was just released into mainstream? === GNUnet is now known as MothOnLovesFlame [02:41] carrera:from others with your mobo [02:41] can anyone tell me if there's an alarm for ubuntu that i can set to remind myself to go to appointments at a certain time every day and take medications at a certain time every day, with loud sounds? [02:41] can you not get openoffice 3.0 for Ubuntu?

Thanks for all your help dude! [02:41] next release of Ubuntu [02:42] Hi! I've installed ubuntu 8.04 with LTSP. A thin client uses a pentium I cpu. It works but too slow. Is there any solution. Or it's possible to install LTSP 4.2 on ubuntu 8.04? Please help. [02:42] oh my! [02:42] lungren: are you certain that the partition in question is unmounted? [02:42] FAJ:nvida supported [02:42] but the broken software part... would you not recomend switching over right away? [02:42] i think its mounted.... [02:42] DasEi: .21-generic? really.... [02:42] can anyone tell me if there's an alarm for ubuntu that i can set to remind myself to go to appointments at a certain time every day and take medications at a certain time every day, with loud sounds? [02:42] what it means is that stuff may BREAK.... between now and then [02:42] mrpockets: Meh, I just did a fresh install the other day. Had a few minor application crashes, but nothing serious. [02:42] would i need to go in and tell it to use it in the new kernel? [02:42] it's a matter of stuff will need to be updated for the new one [02:42] the one im trying to edit down says it cant be unmounted [02:43] !hardware|FAJ [02:43] FAJ: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [02:43] * FAJ hangs head [02:43] naahh [02:43] lungren: you're unlikely to be able to resize a filesystem while it's mounted ;) [02:44] i am using a supported card that works in .19-generic, and then when i booted into .21-generic, it gave me the wonderful low res screen, should i just run in low res and try to enable restricted? [02:44] it doesnt unmount tho [02:44] DasEi, would trying OSS instead of ALSA help? [02:44] Moth, I am not sure. You may want to check in OpenOffice.org for the Calendar. I don't think it will sound an alarm, but it will usually give you a reminder in the way of a pop-up message.. [02:44] so is there anyway to edit this down without starting over? [02:44] FAJ: did you use restricted drivers manager to install your drivers before? [02:44] You just have to tell it how far in advance.. [02:44] gotama: a pI is a little undermuscly, even for ltsp.... the site recommends having at least a pII-233. Sorry, siddhartha [02:44] can anyone tell me if there's an alarm for ubuntu that i can set to remind myself to go to appointments at a certain time every day and take medications at a certain time every day, with loud sounds? [02:45] gotama: that said, try using a slightly less graphically intense desktop environment than gnome [02:45] do i have to boot up a newer version to upgrade it or can i upgrade while running a prior version [02:45] Flannel: i went into hardware drivers and clicked enable in the old kernel (not dist) [02:45] carrera:no, but sth really simple : are the icons of alsamixer green (unmuted), the ones above the sliders ? [02:45] lungren: absolutely. But I'm getting lost in the comments in here---so that I can find your responses, could you please mention my nick when responding? [02:45] or, better yet, [02:45] pipegeek: sorry [02:45] np :) [02:46] FAJ: well, try enabling it in this one yes. If it doesn't work, it sounds like a regression and you should file a bug. [02:46] flannel ok. [02:46] MothOnLovesFlame: Try the calendar in OpenOffice.org. [02:46] It won't give an audible alarm, but should pop-up a message for reminder. [02:46] Flannel:carrer... known already, and found a solving [02:46] how hard is it to use a HDD on one mobo and then swtich it over to another one? [02:46] anyone know how to set the line spacing in open office writer to something other than single, 1.5 and double? [02:47] pipegeek: the whole reason im trying to dual boot is so i can play my windows games. is there anyway i can do something else with ubuntu that will allow that? [02:47] lungren: what you need to do is to unmount the partition you want to resize. That can usually be accomplished by right-clicking on the icon on the desktop, and going to "Unmount...". However, if what you want to resize is the main ubuntu partition ("/"), you'll need to reboot using an ubuntu livecd, so that the computer can be running despite the main filesystem not being mounted [02:47] Flannel: sometimes my system will just inexplicably freeze up too, there is never anything in the logs, can you think of anything? [02:47] lungren: if you have a windows license, that's probably the best way to go [02:47] FAJ: wihout reinstalling ? [02:47] lungren: shall we take this out into PM? [02:47] pipegeek: sounds good [02:47] DasEi: running on two different computers ;) [02:47] DasEi, I checked those already. Mine are below the sliders and they are mostly green EXPECT Analog M [02:48] does anyone know any decent video editing software that will import mpg and output wmv? [02:48] oooo DasEi my bad bad read on my part; ummm ya don't wanna reinstall, that would be a pain.... :( [02:48] anyone know how to set the line spacing in open office writer to something other than single, 1.5 and double? [02:48] reportingsjr: none in Linux that I know of, primarily because of the proprietary wmv codec [02:48] genefitz: will mpg play in windows media player? [02:48] DasEi: maybe this kernel will fix it? i did have bootchart running on my computer under the old kernel, but that shouldn't cause freezes... [02:49] anyone know the ghost commandline switch that allows it to preserve the grub bootloader (not -ir) [02:49] FAJ: if the archtitecures of the machine are similar.. with a lot of good luck...maybe [02:49] reportingsjr: depends on if you have the codec. [02:49] genefitz: any that would be on a school computer automatically? [02:49] DasEi: ok... what about these random freezes that i am reporting? [02:49] FAJ: check your RAM (do memtest) [02:49] FAJ: install conky to see what fills your ram [02:50] ummm [02:50] wmv (Windows Media Video) is proprietary to Microsoft, and though, there are codec packs for Linux to decode them, I don't know of any that will encode WMV [02:50] bah, forget it then. I'll just take in an mpg! [02:50] reportingsjr, what os is the school computer using? [02:50] i know this sounds terrible but i just installed ubuntu 8.04 to my dell mini and I thought I used my normal login and pass [02:50] genefitz: do you know any that will import/export mpg then? [02:50] Flannel: memtest i have done, for about 5 hours, no errors reported [02:50] but its telling me its wrong [02:50] genefitz: windows xp, of course :) [02:50] well, :( [02:50] is there any way I can login with another account [02:50] like is there a root acount [02:51] ? [02:51] im pretty sure VLC plays WMV files [02:51] !root | dranyam [02:51] dranyam: 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 [02:51] Vantrax: I need a video oditor though [02:51] report, most XP computers will automatically decode mpg (layer 1) without additional codecs. [02:51] I need to edit out bits of a clip, and make it 30 seconds long. [02:51] !root [02:51] AVI would probably be a no, unless they installed a codec pack. [02:51] genefitz: sweet, but I need an editor for them for linux :) [02:52] dranyam: you are going to have to reboot and select "recovery mode" from the grub menu. Then you can do this command to remember your username: ls /home . And once, you know your username, reset your password with: passwd YOUR_USERNAME . Then reboot [02:52] uggh Flannel if i was using ndiswrapper to get on the internet, then will i have to reinstall with the kernel update ?? [02:52] b/c wifi isn't working either... [02:52] reportingsjr: let me check packages, brb. [02:52] genefitz: ok, I'm searching too [02:52] dranyam: Best bet is boot to livecd, then mount the / of your hard drive. Then use the chroot command to temporarily make yourself superuser there and change the password of the user you normally want to use when it boots from hd [02:52] hello all. is there anyway to tell how long ubuntu has been installed for? [02:52] genefitz: ah, apparently kino can export many formats, I thought it would only do DV files. I think I'm cool then. [02:54] reportingsjr: Great, I was having no luck. I am using OpenSuse on this computer.. Don't have the binefit of Ubuntu's package manager. [02:54] Wicked: check /var/log/installer/ [02:54] Glad you found something though :-) [02:54] Flannel: omgosh what is going on???? ndisgtk shows that my drivers are installed, but wifi isn't working?? [02:54] Flannel, ah ok ill check it out thanks!

My cursor changed to a crosshair suddenly during normal use. If i click the mouse, the cursor changes back for a couple seconds, then returns to a crosshair. It also beeps when it changes.

[03:07] Ddorda: run it from a shell and pastebin the output [03:07] just did, it said nothing [03:07] just closed it [03:07] RetrogradeCultur: the wlan0 is up, but there are no networks available. My connection here is name "Josh-point" and its doesn`t even appear, none network appears. But when I`m using Windows all of them appears ok.

[03:08] can any one help me with my sound problem? === embe is now known as Guest92061 [03:09] kr1shns: refresh your wnet list [03:09] kr1shns: also try rebooting [03:09] if those don't work, perhaps you should make sure your wifi router is broadcasting [03:10] here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/61313/ [03:10] RetrogradeCultur: any hint on how to do it via terminal? I already rebooted and stuff like that. If I try to refresh using GUI it doesnt change anything either. [03:10] if it's not broadcasting an SSID you won't pick it up [03:10] but you should still be able to connect manually [03:10] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/61313/ [03:10] via console no clue [03:10] RetrogradeCultur: also, if possible, can you help me checking my wifi configuration? [03:10] is there a way to change the umask on a virtualbox shared folder? Shared with a virtualized windows XP [03:10] but i mean, if you can connect in Xwin you should be able to log out to console and use it still I think [03:11] csilk ? [03:11] Ddorda: hrmm, why are there 2? Have you tried stopping gdm, making sure all instances are gone, then starting it again, logging in and running gdmsetup? [03:11] kr1shns: do you know your WIFI SSID? [03:11] up [03:11] Puppy, [03:11] Does anyhone know where to find your current ip address in /proc or /sys ? [03:11] csilk - i got it installed, but now it does the same thing when it trys to boot up [03:11] RetrogradeCultur: yes, i know the SSID and the WAP Personal passkey. [03:11] Puppy, intrepid? [03:11] Jac1d: you could always just http://www.whatismyip.com [03:11] csilk - pci=nomsi made it install [03:11] kr1shns: go to your wifi set up, go to manual configuration and plug in the info [03:11] see if that'll help [03:12] Puppy, you also need to boot with that too [03:12] csilk - is there a way i can set pci=nomsi for bootup ? [03:12] I think [03:12] csilk i like your thinking :p [03:12] it may be that your adapter doesn't work with ubuntu [03:12] Puppy, yes in the grub.conf file [03:12] how can i get to that ? [03:12] Puppy: /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:12] I have a pretty odd problem. My cursor changed to a crosshair suddenly during normal use. If i click the mouse, the cursor changes back for a couple seconds, then returns to a crosshair. It also beeps when it changes. While its a crosshair it cant click anything and theres no mouse-over effects, so to open a menu i have to click twice, etc. Its quite annoying. [03:13] csilk you get my pm ? [03:13] haha. Have you tried logging out and in again? Does the problem persist? [03:13] RetrogradeCultur: I tried this before. I'm thinking it's something related on firmwares for my Intel 3945ABG Wireless card. [03:13] is there someone here that could help me with phpmyadmin plz.... i am new to linux [03:13] kr1shns: if you WLAN adapter works with windows and not linux then i'd venture to say your card doesn't, at this time, work with linux [03:13] ie it's not compatable [03:13] can anybody help with gparted to resize partitions? [03:13] I have logged out/in and eve rebooted, the problem persists [03:13] start with physical/hardware problems first [03:13] then move up [03:14] Alca7raz: how very odd. Lemme think about this [03:14] I am new to ubuntu and need some help installing a NIC driver [03:14] How can i set Ubunto to laod with parameter pci=nomsi [03:14] you can't worry about software problem if your HW doesn't work right with your pc and os etc [03:14] some WLAN cards just arent compatable, and others have issues with encryption standards, wireless and webcams are the two areas that still need alot of work [03:14] gaintsura: you are assuming the machines that are requiring this info have access to the internet [03:14] Puppy: edit menu.lst, I believe. [03:14] yeah Vantrax [03:14] jamesish - i cant get it to load lol [03:15] jamesish - i cant load ubuntu :s [03:15] RetrogradeCultur: it works with Windows and some other Distros I tried before. I'm having problems just now. Do you know anything about firmwares to wireless drivers? === jaxiinofea_ is now known as jaxiinofea === Guest92061 is now known as embe [03:15] for instance, most newer/usb wlan adapters (in my exp, given it's only been 2 of them) work great with ubuntu [03:15] jrib, no. how do i do that? [03:15] Puppy: in grub, use the edit menu to append the flag to the boot line. [03:15] kr1shns: what makes you think it's firmware? [03:15] jamesish - how can i get into grub ? [03:15] can someone help with phpmyadmin plz === embe is now known as Guest16213 [03:15] Puppy: presumably by turning hte computer on? [03:16] I follow driver instructions and after "Sudo make clean modules I get an error [03:16] i need help with a mac mini and display issues i've been having. Can anyone help ? [03:16] RetrogradeCultur: I tried dmesg and it pointed "Failure" on some firmware information. That's why I'm betting on it. [03:16] is there something like sqlyog in linux [03:16] Ddorda: easiest way then is for you to just reboot and try to start gdmsetup immediately [03:17] Question: Can an expert help me install the Tascam US-428 - its the last thing stopping me from using UBNTU fulltime - I know its supported - but impossible for a beginner - msg me please [03:17] murjoh_: There is an #ubuntu-powerpc channel where they are likely better to assist you in this issue [03:17] Hi..all [03:17] hi sammy [03:17] i tried doing it. maybe i should put it in the sessions and restart with a script? [03:18] Alca7raz... I mean, until you said you rebooted, I was thinking there was some sort of screen-grabbing program running in a loop for some wacky reason, and clicking once caused a screenshot to occur, causing the program to exit, and giving you back your cursor until the program started again.... but I don't know how the system would get into that state, much less continue in it after a reboot [03:18] Ddorda: no, what does 'ps -ef | grep gdm' return right after you log in? [03:18] what an odd problem [03:18] Ddorda: after a reboot [03:18] thanks genii. [03:18] not helpful, I realize [03:19] kr1shns: i can tell you how you may be able to break this down very quickly..... [03:19] ehmm, let me check & i'll come back for you [03:19] 1 min :P [03:19] murjoh_: If no joy there, perhaps try here again [03:19] kr1shns: use the adapter's manufacturer site and or/google to see if it's compatible [03:19] 1 thing, what is the restart script? [03:19] if it's not compatible with your os..then there ya go [03:19] couse now i cant reboot === cafuego is now known as buggerror [03:19] pipegeek: no its not, thanks for trying though [03:19] also try updating your system if you haven't already [03:20] I am new to ubuntu and need some help installing a NIC driver, can someone? [03:20] question.... is there a program like sqlyog for linux.... my phpmyadmin wont let me import a big enough file... or how do i change the settings in phpmyadmin [03:20] oh.. found it [03:20] BRB === buggerror is now known as cafuego [03:20] kr1shns: system -> admin -> update manager [03:20] heya roselgan im guessing that no one knows the answer, id try the ubuntu forum [03:20] roselgan, first of all make sure it is a phpmyadmin problem and not a linit set by your ooh.ini [03:20] kr1shns: but first check to make sure you're using a compatible wifi adapter [03:21] ** roselgan php.ini [03:21] RetrogradeCultur: ok, wait up a second. [03:21] you should be able to find that out on the web [03:21] okay [03:21] Hey, I'm running a windows box and a linux box, and i'm really inexperienced with Ubuntu or linux in general. But it seems that I've been able to network the two computers through my wireless router successfully. Unfortunately though, I can't see any files when I look at the network in ubuntu... Any ideas why? or how to fix it?

[03:21] I can't remebmer where === Guest16213 is now known as embe [03:21] yet both are on the same network, and both can access the internet? [03:22] pipegeek: that's right [03:22] lightdragon: It's possible you just haven't turned on file sharing on the windows box [03:22] i am new to this would u pm me with help to find it and what to change plz [03:22] brb [03:22] it's not on by default === embe is now known as Guest14892 [03:22] pipegeek: I checked that.. it is on I've also enabled it so my entire c drive is shared [03:23] I am new to ubuntu and need some help installing a NIC driver, can someone please? [03:23] Hmm. Well, it's also possible that the two machines aren't in the same "workgroup" (god, I hate windows networking) [03:23] lightdragon: but, regardless, you can force ubuntu's hand, even if it isn't showing up automatically: [03:23] lightdragon: go to the Places menu, pick "Connect to server..." [03:23] If you use IP you can span workgroups easily enough [03:23] Hello there...I need help resizing partitions using Gparted..Can anybody help? [03:23] pipegeek: they're in the same workgroup so far as i know. if it helps i'm using samba on ubuntu === _RandyboY is now known as RandyboY [03:23] oh no [03:24] haha [03:24] lol [03:24] <_Zeus_> what happened? [03:24] * csilk smells netsplit [03:24] thats what its called! [03:24] lightdragon: select "Windows share", put the ip address of the windows machine in Server: , specify a username, and try connecting [03:24] yep [03:24] the floodbots go crazy for the netsplits [03:24] Hey, ive just got a new HD and wanted to install Ibex beta rather than wait until the 30th. Will this cause me any problems or will any changes in the final release just come through as updates? [03:24] i forgot for a sec [03:24] here we go [03:24] they put their hats on [03:24] and that's what we call re-sync [03:24] netsplit :) [03:25] wheeeee [03:25] pyr0: you'll be able to go to final via regular updates [03:25] omg... [03:25] jrib, i'm back [03:25] lightdragon: samba's the file server. So, to get to the windows box from the ubuntu box, it doesn't matter whether or not you have samba installed [03:25] Ddorda1: k, does 'sudo gdmsetup' still fail? [03:25] ok, thanks. [03:25] RetrogradeCultur: just found a website that teaches how to configure it. Thanks a lot! I`ll give a try on the website and then I'll come here! [03:26] yes [03:26] anyone have any luck using a fingerprint scanner [03:26] lightdragon: but, as for workgroup---the workgroup that ubuntu uses by default isn't configurable, except by hand-editing /etc/samba/smb.conf [03:26] I am new to ubuntu and need some help installing a NIC driver, can someone please? [03:26] unless I'm out of date [03:26] Ddorda1: what does 'ps -ef | grep gdm' look like? [03:26] pipegeek: yeah that's what i did [03:26] kr1shns: okay :) good luck [03:26] but still i can't restart and shutdown by the quit system [03:26] aaaah [03:27] bleah [03:27] All my GTK applications in KDE, including FireFox appears very ugly. How can I fix that? [03:27] Ddorda1: wait. Does gdmsetup open or not? [03:27] lightdragon: okay. Were you able to connect to your windows box by specifying its ip address manually? [03:27] Ie, in Places/Connect to Server...

[03:27] hello [03:28] Bogaurd: What's the memory usage? [03:28] lightdragon: Also, can the machines actually see each other? For instance, can you ping your windows box from your linux box?

[03:29] pipegeek: though presumably they can, as ubuntu fins it in network places [03:29] lightdragon: right-click on the network icon in the upper-righthand corner and pick "Connection Info" [03:29] lightdragon: or, alternatively, type "ifconfig" in a terminal [03:29] Orbixx: it shows as having about 179MB cahced, 5mb free, and 150mb active.. [03:29] aaaaaah [03:29] was unaware of that [03:29] So, at what point does the connection actually fail? [03:29] sorry [03:29] Bogaurd: Then you're out of memory.

[03:30] lol [03:30] Ddorda: ok, well in the "Local" tab, under "Menu Bar", have you checked "Show Actions menu" and the thing below it? [03:30] pipegeek: i made a parted magic bootable USB. and each time i boot it, i get error 17 [03:30] Orbixx: hmm. why would it happen gradually? [03:30] a memory leak or something?

Possibly some permissions in it's home dir are afftected. if username is "joe" try something like: sudo chown -hR joe:joe /home/joe from the console [03:40] have a chat to the guys on #ubuntu-1 about it [03:40] i desperately want to free myself from windows [03:40] Vantrax: Ok ...so go to windows and resize it.. then book from ubuntu cd and use gparted? [03:40] Flannel: I don't know, it's a live cd. is it enabled by default? [03:40] one of the major improvements in intrepid is for netbooks [03:40] zloog: Conceivably he could be in TWM or so I suppose [03:40] ubuntu__: It should be, yes. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xchat [03:40] how can i find out what device i am connected to such as eth0 [03:40] Tascam US428 : need help installing - ALSA has instruction that I cant quite follow, please msg me [03:40] so should I wait 8 days [03:40] or just download the beta [03:40] Flannel: that's the very first thing I did upon booting [03:41] beta, its not gonna change much, and you can just update when it goes live [03:41] well [03:41] <_2> can someone point me at a howto, or walk me through opening port 22 on a dsl modem (or forwarding it) ??? [03:41] at least Im not bored anymore [03:41] * dranyam wanders off to ubuntu.com [03:41] * Vantrax waves goodbye [03:42] ubuntu__: Alright, well, make sure universe is enabled (software sources), and then grab xchat. It is in universe, and the package is "xchat" [03:42] in screen resolution settings, i don't have the right options for the res of my 22"lcd, it only goes as high as about 1268x1024 when it should go up to 1680x1050. Can I manually add screen resolution settings somehow? [03:42] <_786soul> genii: The command didn't work. I log in again however the same still appears. Just the blank screen and a mouse. No loading sign or cursor change either [03:43] <_786soul> zloog: Same is the result, no change when I log in again. [03:43] _786soul: Do you have a dulahead video adapter, or an onboard plus secondary? Might be outputting desktop to another output [03:43] <_2> guess not huh ? [03:43] csilk loaded into grub [03:43] command didnt work [03:43] _786soul: did you enable virtual resolution settings, by any chance? [03:43] did find menu.lst that came up with nothing [03:43] Puppy, where did you put the command? [03:43] pipegeek: Ok, how about from the other direction? My windows box doesn't seem to see any network places for my ubuntu... How do I set shared access up on Ubuntu? [03:43] grub [03:43] oh wiat [03:43] new instructions [03:43] *wait [03:43] when it first loaded i his escape [03:43] then c for console [03:43] <_786soul> genii: Uhm well I've got an eeepc, and I just did a straight install to the SD card so I havent done any modifications at all. This has been happening since the first boot [03:43] said grub> [03:44] i'll pm, dont wanna flood [03:44] Flannel: assuming that ubuntu uses /etc/apt/sources.list, it isn't enabled by default afterall [03:44] <_786soul> Jangari: Haven't changed any settings. This has been happening since I installed onto the SD card. [03:44] ubuntu__: Interesting. It is once you install. [03:44] CShadowRun: [03:44] hmm, try installing afresh, then [03:44] xanadu10 ? [03:44] mt [03:44] if i install the ibex beta right now, will it be significantly different than if i wait till the 31st for the release? [03:44] hey all. what log file will tell what users log into a system? [03:45] Flannel: in fact, every line in that file is commented out. I don't know how it was able to fetch xchat-gnome [03:45] <_786soul> Jangari: Ah =( I was afraid of that. I'm keeping it as my last resort if theres nothing I can try to do to fix it [03:45] Flannel: or why it didnt error on apt-get update [03:45] Sound issue - can someone good with ALSA help? [03:45] well, you could try looking at your xorg.conf file, [03:45] ubuntu__: well, it won't error with the update, since you're just not telling it to check anything [03:45] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:45] <_2> howto open port 22 on a dsl modem (or forwarding it) ??? [03:46] and try running the command $sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [03:46] <_786soul> Jangari, genii: See thing is a get the graphical log on, its not a CLI at that point so im perplexed as to why the desktop just wont come up [03:46] but the mouse is showing up [03:46] Flannel: ok, that explains that part of it. then the only question is how did it know where to grab xchat-gnome from? [03:46] _2 if you have a DSL modem that is connected directly to your PC, all ports are open. [03:46] <_786soul> Jangari: Yes mouse shows up and can move around [03:46] ubuntu__: no idea [03:46] so it is your Xsession, [03:46] Flannel: well, looks like it found it now [03:46] thanks [03:47] <_786soul> Jangari: Xsession? [03:47] but nothing else shows up, even if you, for instance, hit right-click, no menu, right? [03:47] <_2> CShadowRun: then why can't i see port 22 open? would you please check from there? [03:47] Xsession is what the graphical interface is called [03:47] !xsession [03:47] _786soul: I've seen this often in cases where items in home dir where used as root or accidentally changed ownership from their rightful one. This is why I suggested earlier the chown command for that. [03:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about xsession [03:47] <_786soul> Jangari: Nope, nothing else. Its just a plain moving mouse and a blank screen behind it [03:47] _2 i don't know, if you have a standard DSL modem it should not block ports. Modems arn't NATS [03:47] if i install the ibex beta right now, will it be significantly different than if i wait till the 31st for the release? [03:47] <_786soul> genii: Yeah the chown didnt work =( [03:48] Ok all please read... I am trying to get Youtube videos to go full screen in Firefox.... it has not worked since i installed Ubuntu... it tries to go full screen but then goes back... Anyone know why? [03:48] ekow: #ubuntu+1 will be able to answer that question. [03:48] _786soul: i'd try reconfiguring xorg.conf first and see what happens [03:48] ok thank you [03:48] anyone else have issues with wine and steam [03:48] i cant seem to purchase a game [03:48] i click the purchase button and it does nothing [03:48] lightdragon: hmmph. I'm clearly not much help. You already have samba installed and configured, and the windows box can't connect to \\\ ? [03:49] Hello [03:49] _786soul: Perhaps check the ownership of the hidden files and directories in your /home/username with ls -la /home/username and see if anything jumps out as not owned by the default user there [03:49] <_2> CShadowRun i'm trying to get sshd usable. and i can ssh in locally but can't using my inet ip. [03:49] hi [03:49] _2 i have no idea sorry. [03:50] pipegeek: just take it one step at a time. If there's something going on, that's the way to shimmy and move. What's the steps for files over the network with samba? Presumably verify machines are on the same subnet, start the service, verify permissions and shoot from the hip? [03:50] i just assume that dsl modems don't forward ports, i'm not an advanced user [03:50] I have a dell m1330 with biometrics on it and I cant get it to work, I installed think finger but dont know how to run it, I havent used linux in years [03:50] <_786soul> Jangari: Reconfiguing the xconf didnt work, still the same [03:50] pipegeek: To be honest, I'm not sure how to tell windows to connect directly to linux ip address. I just know that it's not showing in "My Network Places" [03:50] without screwing anything up can i check if my wireless card is capable of bridging [03:51] lightdragon: what you'd do is open an explorer window (or start menu/run) and enter \\ CShadowRun: k thanks [03:51] does anyone know how to manually add resolution options to the screen resolution settings dialogue box's list of options? Is there a config file that should contain that info? [03:51] liquid: Read the thinkfinger documentation.... let me grab the file path for you, it'll explain how to get it to work. [03:51] Does anybody know anything about thinkfinger? [03:51] Flannel: Thank you sir [03:51] CShadowRun, have you modified your ssh config file? [03:51] lightdragon: whereas the simplest way to check if it's working from ubuntu would be to open a nautilus window and type "smb://username@/" [03:52] <_786soul> genii: Nothing seemed to be out of order. My username is there for all the entries I could see but not all were on the screen. How do I scroll up to see the higher entries? [03:52] Flannel: I found a article on thinkwiki [03:52] _786soul: shift-pageup usually [03:52] Flannel: But it wouldnt load [03:52] liquid: Alright, packages.ubuntu.com seems to be taking its sweet time. Lets do it the quick way: dpkg -L thinkfinger | grep Debian [03:53] _786soul: run the command egain with "| more" at the end, it'll split it up into pages [03:53] has anyone come from China? [03:53] liquid: The README.Debian file is the one you want to read, it explains how to add it to PAM [03:53] liquid: then once you've done that, you just need to enroll (tf-... something) and then you're done! [03:54] is there a howto document somewhere on setting up ssh keys for automatic logging into remote servers? [03:54] <_786soul> genii, Jangari: Alright tried it but everything has my name by it so I'm guessing everything is in place. Only thing that doesn't is the ".." entry [03:54] Flannel: Its saying thinkfinger isnt installed but I just did it, configure.make.make install [03:54] liquid: er....... [03:54] `8.10 [03:54] liquid: package management. Don't compile stuff. [03:54] the ".." directory is the relative link to the directory above, _786soul [03:54] Flannel: I said the same thing [03:54] is there any way to hack the ubuntu boot screen? so that it displays something other than the ubuntu boot logo [03:54] and "." is the directory you're in [03:54] Flannel: I did it by hand [03:54] liquid: don't. [03:55] hi [03:55] quick question: I'm sure there's a way to remove multiple files at once via bash with the rm command, how might I do this? [03:55] liquid: remove whatever you did, and then sudo apt-get install thinkfinger [03:55] yes, CoRnJuLiOx [03:55] as opposed to rm'ing once for each file. [03:55] Flannel: Really, I tried the apt-get thing, still new to that [03:55] _786soul: OK. Some other thing then [03:55] <_786soul> Jangari: Oh okay so I'm guessing that aside everything is in place. [03:55] Flannel: I couldnt find it [03:55] liquid: its there. [03:55] hello!!. I want to install xmms but it requires libglib1.2 ... how do i get this package? its not in synaptic. If that cant be done what is another program like xmms i can use? im using xmms because I use streamtuner for the free radio station [03:55] !synaptic | liquid [03:55] lightdragon: oh, and I just realized you don't have to edit smb.conf directly [03:55] liquid: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [03:55] Sound issue - can someone good with ALSA help? [03:55] Jangari, is there a guide to doing this? [03:55] lightdragon: run "shares-admin" [03:55] kaervek: you can use wildcards, like rm *.gif [03:55] it sounds like it, _786soul. I'm still convinced your problem is an xsession thing [03:55] Flannel: Thank you === _Zeus_1 is now known as _Zeus_ [03:56] hello can i get some help here? am i in the wright place? i don't know to to delete a locked filed on the desktop it's making me mad plase tell me how to do it if someone can... [03:56] i have an alternate install CD. i'm trying to rescue a system. the rescue option crashes (stuck at '...TIMER') ... is there another way that i can get a shell from the alternate install cd? i tried running the console and getting a shell - i get busybox ... but it doesn't seem to have fsck, which i need? anyone know? [03:56] <_786soul> Jangari: Does xsession only come into play after I log in though? [03:56] !info libpam-thinkfinger | liquid [03:56] CoRnJuLiOx: dunno, possibly. I only know it's possible. UbuntuStudio changes the load screen, so it must be possible, although, it does load a separate kernal [03:56] liquid: libpam-thinkfinger (source: thinkfinger): PAM module for the STMicroelectronics fingerprint reader. In component main, is extra. Version 0.3+r118-0ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 17 kB, installed size 128 kB [03:56] Flannel: Maybe you can answer answer another question, why do some pages load and some dont? [03:56] ? [03:56] _786soul: yep, in fact you could try changing the 'session' when you log in, [03:57] !usplash | CoRnJuLiOx [03:57] CoRnJuLiOx: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [03:57] liquid: no idea. Sorry, actual package is libpam-thinkfinger, which makes sense. But I've gotta run. [03:57] cllaudyu: go to terminal and use rm /path to file [03:57] and after that? [03:57] i was trying to install flock it gives me this error if i try to /.flock [03:57] ./flock-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [03:57] and, _786soul, try booting to 'recovery mode' and run 'xfix' from there. It may help. [03:57] Flannel: Thanks buddy its DLing now [03:57] привет, психам [03:57] Flannel: Do you know if there is a gui? [03:57] !ru [03:57] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [03:58] <_786soul> Jangari: what session might I try to see? and what is Xclient Script? Will running it do anything? [03:58] hello all [03:58] pipegeek: What is a WINS Server? [03:58] ubottu: Do you know if there is a GUI to the thinkfinger? [03:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:59] hi. im running a ubuntu live cd on my sucky messed up windows laptop, i need to back up some data, but ubuntu didnt installed the disks, how can i mount them? [03:59] how do I check my MAC address on my adapter vis console? [03:59] RetrogradeCultur: Try going to terminal and typing ifconfig [03:59] Sound issue: Can someone help - Tascam US428 look for ALSA info - cannot understand it [03:59] ty [04:00] lightdragon: something horribly microsoftian. Manages NetBIOS names [04:00] I show my bias (= ignorance) here [04:00] but it's roughly equivalent to dns, but for windows networking [04:01] pipegeek: so not necessary then? And btw am able to access ubuntu box via ip on windows [04:01] dulak: ahh, okay, that helps a bit. I'm managing a directory of .mp3's. It contains dozens of files. For instance 10.01.08_Howard_Stern_Show.mp3, and 10.01.08_Wrap_Up_Show.mp3, etc etc. I've catenated these into a single files(10.01.08_Howard_Stern_+_Wrap_Up.mp3, etc) and now would like to remove the 2 originals. Eesh - I hope that makes sense... [04:02] in other words, I'm not certain a wildcard will help in this case. [04:02] can someone please help me with getting libglib1.3 [04:02] lightdragon: yeah [04:02] 1.2 even [04:02] lightdragon: also, yay! [04:02] kaervek: not really but you can use wildcards anywhere in the name, so you could do rm 10.01.08*.mp3 or rm 10.01*.mp3 or whatever [04:02] hello there [04:02] could someone with a default samba3 install please paste me the contents of /etc/init.d/samba ? [04:03] why is my evolution email asking me for keyring all of sudden ? [04:03] anyone know [04:03] dulak: aha! excellent. getting a tad scatterbrained - should have realized that =X [04:03] pipegeek: And was able to make a shortcut to the ip thereby giving me access from windows to ubuntu box [04:03] oh great [04:03] glad to hear it :) [04:03] im trying to get my shares on my windows box and it wont find it in the network [04:03] pipegeek: YAY! But still can't see from ubuntu [04:03] anyone here know the difference between the "Ubuntu Eee" and "eeebuntu" distribution remixes of Ubuntu? [04:04] lightdragon hmm. I feel like it's *got* to be a configuration problem on the windows box, but I don't know what it is [04:04] pipegeek: Can i do something similar from the ubuntu side? like type inthe ip into nautilus or sometihng? [04:04] yes [04:04] smb:/// [04:04] or, potentially more usefully, [04:04] Vantrax owns people lol. thanks man [04:04] smb://username@/ [04:04] lol np mate [04:05] good luck with getting windows back up [04:05] damn, there has never been help in this channel. goodness [04:05] .... [04:06] ill see if debian can give me an answer [04:06] whats the question? [04:06] Guest73106: Patience :) It may require repeating the question at 10-minute intervals, but chances are someone who knows the answer will notice [04:07] <_2> if an isp is blocking port 22 what port might i be able to get through on ? [04:07] _2: You can make openssh-server run on whatever port you like [04:07] Guest73106: and libglib1.2 is in ubuntu [04:07] package name is libglib1.2ldbl [04:08] do some isps actually block port 22? [04:08] yes:P [04:08] lame [04:08] How do I make my pptp tunnel my default route yet keep my wlan0 connection?

[04:41] vocal9: use fluxbox instead of xfce. you really shouldnt be using xfce at all [04:41] alienware m9750 [04:41] maf54: there is no reason to suggest not using XFCE, nothing is worng with XFCE. if your opinion is against it, that's fine, but dont push it on others. [04:42] I'm getting some strange behaviour from the mounting process of my external HDD. Before, it would automatically mount at /media/disk. Then for some strange reason, it suddenly started mounting at /media/disk-1, and as a seeming consequence, folder images switched to default. I fixed that and manually mounted it to /media/disk and the folder images returned. However, in the properties, the permissions are weird. I access nautilus as root [04:42] and I cannot change group permission from create and delete files to access files. What's wrong?

[04:43] how do i get it to show up so i can iwconfig it [04:43] and does it show up BEFORE you install the drivers [04:43] halberd: you have to teach the computer how to recognise shapes from a very early age. Then it can start to understand what a face is. [04:43] halberd: it depends on the hardware [04:43] pipegeek: Well I gotta get going to bed.... thanks for all the help though! I've gotten a lot farther with your help tonight than any other time I've tried to work on this! Thanks! [04:43] it is a macbook airport [04:44] some hardware is recognised, some you have to use an ndis wrapper [04:44] good night, and good luck [04:44] EyesOfARaven: yeah, well, i use 333mhz, 256mb ram and xfce doesnt cut it. i kinda doubt 500mhz is going to be much better with it [04:44] those are drivers [04:44] hrm, dunno, never done that one [04:44] do I need a driver for the interface to show up [04:44] or is it supposed to show up without any driver [04:44] Has anyone here performed a firmware upgrade on a printer using linux? I have some firmware files for a HP printer and the page says you can use a UNIX derivative to just send the firmware to the printers ip address, but no command is given and I'm at a loss as to how to just send a file to a device. [04:44] hi [04:44] by show up i mean on ifconfig/iwconfig === alex_ is now known as Ale[X] [04:44] it should only show up if it finds the wireless card, which means it would need a driver [04:45] you're saying it can't find the card until it has a driver for it? [04:45] you might be able to find the hardware, but ifconfig wont work till it has a driver [04:45] hello! How I can know about what FileSystemCharset I use? [04:45] Can anyone help me figure out how to change the permissions of my external HDD so that group can only access files? [04:45] how can I find the hardware without the driver [04:46] thankyou all [04:46] perhaps ubuntu is simply incapable of recognizing the device whether it has drivers or not and that's why it's not working... how do I determine if that's the case?

[04:47] there is a community doc for installing ubuntu on the macbook [04:47] Running Kubuntu, current. Keyboard has been grabbed by some application in my primary X session. I can start a secondary session, but am tryin to figure out what's grabbed focus in the first. Any suggestions? [04:48] the fly in the ointment in my case is that I am on ubuntu-server not desktop [04:48] so everything must be done from the command line and there may be dependencies or extra steps that I have to take [04:48] boy you would think someone with sound problems would get hlpe - some channel? [04:48] since i have ubuntu on a pendrive and im moving from different computers, i have to be downloading and uninstalling drivers all the time, can i download the drivers and let ubuntu check what drivers for xorg will load at system startup?

[04:58] Unless youwant a free alternastive [04:58] ok [04:59] My drop down menus are showing up behind my windows instead of in front of them. What's up with that? [04:59] which video cards typically have better support with Ubuntu... ATI or nvidia? [04:59] I guess there should be a photo manager based off of pigment. Now that would rock =) [05:00] Nivdia [05:00] nvidia [05:00] Significantly better [05:00] Does anyone know why drop-down menus would be showing up behind windows instead of in front of them and what could be done to fix that? [05:00] Is there anyone who can hop over to Ubuntu+1 and give me a hand? noone is answering over there. [05:00] ya I have a ATI 3850 or something... the ATI restricted drivers just crash my box [05:01] might not be compatable with your card [05:01] maw, intel [05:01] rodba: So: you've lost your high X11 screen resolution? [05:01] ATI had a list from memory === Raven is now known as EyesOfARaven [05:01] gluonman, turn compiz off [05:01] cabrioleru thats kinda a drastic fix [05:02] cabrioleur, that would mess up a lot of other things.

[05:03] gluonman, check your focus & raise behavior [05:03] cabrioleur, I'm sure a reboot might fix the problem, but I would pass up an opportunity to learn the cause and solution. But if I can't get help, I'll probably just reboot. [05:03] cabrioleur: no I haven't [05:03] in the compiz control manager [05:03] gluonman, just log out and log in. [05:03] since I am not playing games, going back to my nvidia card isn't that bad [05:04] anyone know if there was a bug fixed where firefox doesn't recognize .php files [05:04] Monkey_, all my compiz settings are fine and untouched.

[05:04] mike-solidus, that's not a firefox bug [05:04] csilk: whats it a bug on then? [05:04] Link? [05:04] rodba, cron failer is not fun. do you have any logs, or what happens when you run manually? [05:04] brb in a bit [05:04] good morning all of you.i just make the first test [05:05] mike-solidus, doesnt sound like a bug to me at all unless you have information suggesting otherwise [05:05] mikael79_, there is a fix on the web. I had same thing. Check the Forums. [05:05] !forums [05:05] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [05:05] csilk: when i go to a .php page on localhost, firefox asks me if i want to download it, when i go to one on my server through konqueror, the php gets parsed and an html page gets put out [05:05] sri. mike-solidus [05:06] mike, that seems to be a server issue [05:06] mike-solidus, one browser working and the other not sounds very strange, generally when a browser tries to download a php file it's because php is not cinfigured properly [05:07] Monkey_: why would it only happen in firefox then? [05:07] Monkey_, he is the server [05:07] Are you sure Apache is recognizing the php files and running them thru ? [05:07] csilk, I know, but I meant in relation to the server [05:07] mike-solidus, did you install libapache2-mod-php5 ? [05:08] how come when I type a command in terminal, sometimes it takes away the prefix with the $, so I can't type in any more commands until I close it out and open it again? [05:08] csilk: yeah, and it gets loaded correctly and everything, I looked on the forums and apparently someone was having the same problem with pre firefox 2.0 and it got fixed with an update === m1nd is now known as m1ndctrl [05:08] Hmmm... so konqueror properly shows the parsed php and firefox doesn't? [05:08] i have a sorta simple question [05:09] mike-solidus, are you running apache? [05:09] my rar files are asking for password and i know that they are passworded? [05:09] mike-solidus, what version of ff you using? [05:09] Deadowl87, because you have an application running there already.

I'm planning to use a spare disk I having lying around exclusively for my incoming torrent files (using torrentflux to feed a house full of nerds). What filesystem should I use on this disk? given the type of filesystem traffic BT generates, it can fragment even XFS partitions into an unholy mess. Is XFS still the best bet? [05:13] goodmorning! [05:13] anyone know how to get external volume controls to work [05:13] How do i make emerald my default window manager [05:13] Ok, I've googled the hell out of this question. I can't seem to find a straight answer. My question is: "Why can't I add Treble and Bass options?" [05:13] Ever since the label of my external HDD got switched, I cannot change its folder image when it is mounted at its original mount point. How can I fix this and make it automount at this desired point? [05:14] ok i have some rar files that when i try to unrar them it is asking me for a password? now i know these files are not protected === rebel_kid|zZzZ is now known as rebel_kid [05:14] Hello All [05:14] sjea: then just press ok. [05:14] What would I type in apt-get to install GTK++2.0? [05:14] mersault: do you use a ups? then xfs. it will be faster for multiple users ("multitasking"). [05:14] sjea: however, if they were not password protected it shouldn't be prompting you. [05:14] right and when i hit ok it prompts is still [05:15] Anyone know how to make bass and treble show up? They aren't listed in my preferences. [05:15] stainge [05:15] jim_p: no UPS, but power is pretty stable where I am. [05:15] trying to uninstall the reinstall [05:15] mersault: ok then, go with xfs if you feel it [05:15] gluonman, change the label of the partition. [05:15] sjea: I would try recreating the archive. If it occurs again try removing your software and reinstalling. [05:15] cabrioleur, I've done that. [05:15] how do i rename from the terminal? screenshot.png > scrot.png for instance [05:16] sjea: I would use autoremove to remove and dependancies that may not be functioning properly as well [05:16] What would I type in apt-get to install GTK++2.0? [05:16] cabrioleur, for about a year it happily mounted at /media/disk. And I changed the folder image so that an image of the HDD appeared on my desktop, rather than a default folder. [05:16] nikitis, I believe they are a plugin in the better mp3 players. I don't think linux has a standalone equalizer app. [05:16] I have imagemagick installed, but digiKam is asking me for the path to an executable imagemagick.

[05:17] neer: samba. [05:17] gluonman, It's still the same? Then you have to right click on the drive icon, preferences, go to the volume tab, and in setting in mount point type the new mount point :-) [05:17] neer: do yo uahve samba isntalled ? [05:17] michaelwilliamca: yes I have [05:17] gluonman, make sure you don't have an existing directory /mount/disk [05:17] humm well guest it is what it is [05:17] cabrioleur, I do have that existing directory. But it was created for this external. [05:18] neer: what is the problem your having [05:18] michaelwilliamca: both pcs have wireless cards installed as well [05:18] neer: then simply mount a share. [05:18] as 'windows share' [05:18] michaelwilliamca: I am not able to see the other computer [05:18] Anyone? [05:18] cabrioleur, I wouldn't be so picky about the point, but the folder images of movie directors and DVD covers that belong to my 500GB sized movie collection doesn't show in any other mount point. [05:18] m1ndctrl: mount a share? [05:18] gluonman, gnome-mount creates directories on its own, and will not use already existing. After you erase it the HD will be mounted in disk. [05:19] Does anyone know of any special reason that would prevent sound from working with ubuntu properly on iMac? === hlab is now known as oof [05:19] neer: if you want to do it through gui click places -> connect to server -> select windows share from drop down... then input info [05:19] I just compiled the latest stable alsa drivers without success. [05:19] cabrioleur, I'm afraid to erase it because I don't want to have to go through that whole process of assigning DVD cover images and images of film directors to every single folder I have in my movie collection (which took me 5 days the last time). [05:19] And I have no clue what else to try [05:19] neer: you can ping from one box to the other right? === oof is now known as blah [05:19] aetherealize: kernel not supporting the hardware [05:19] aetherealize, wrong recognition. [05:20] cabrioleur, I just don't understand why after a year of happily automounting at that point, it suddenly changed to another point. [05:20] Anyone for Java help? [05:20] aetherealize: extreme situation, but plausible [05:20] m1ndctrl: I cannot detect anything [05:20] cabrioleur, and I just want it back to where it was. [05:20] neer: 'detect' how? [05:20] Anyone know how to get my windows to resize without showing the outline? [05:20] any help for isntalling a console only machine [05:20] gluonman, it was at disk, and you want at disk, right? [05:20] cabrioleur, yes. [05:21] gluonman, unmount it for now. [05:21] cabrioleur, okay. [05:21] gluonman, not in terminal "sudo rmdir /media/disk" [05:21] Anyone know any decent software for making a small slideshow? [05:21] cabrioleur, it's unmounted. [05:22] jamesish, openoffice is too big? [05:22] PM me if you can help with a console only install.. not trying to be impatient just trying to help someone else with a problem [05:22] How would I know what to call programs to install them from apt-get? [05:22] genii: they weren't marked executable, thanks, sorry it took long to get back, got a phone call [05:23] liquid, apt-cache [05:23] cabrioleur: I didn't know I could make one in OOo. [05:23] cabrioleur, I typed that command. [05:23] liquid: search. [05:23] liquid: Such as? [05:23] gluonman, now mount your disk back. [05:23] liquid, apt-cache search regex [05:23] liquid: aptitude search will find packages with names/descriptions matching [05:23] gluonman, I'm assuming it did not spit out any errors. [05:23] karsten: Well im trying to install gtk 2.0 [05:23] Rather than do sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /mnt/SamHDD -o force every time I connect my HDD, how can I have it as an icon on the desktop, and just click it? [05:24] jamesish, it's powerpoint compatible if you save it so. A nice tool. [05:24] how do i run a root again? [05:24] !root [05:24] 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 [05:24] liquid: for more advanced stuff, you can use auto-apt, which intercepts calls to specific files, particularly useful if you're building apps. [05:24] su righ t [05:24] cabrioleur, I don't know about errors. You told me "not in terminal" so I used Alt+F2. [05:24] Ohmu_: likely you need to force a check on the drive in windows - if not - check where it is - if it's sdb1 for example i note that many times /etc/fstab has this inside... comment that line out and voila. [05:24] liquid: You're looking for support libraries or dev libraries? [05:24] cabrioleur, which seems strange to me. [05:24] karsten: Im kinda new to linux [05:24] what dyn update client would you suggest for dyndns? [05:24] gluonman, hehe, I made a mistake. Sorry buddy. [05:25] cabrioleur, but when I mounted the drive again, it still mounted at /media/disk_ [05:25] gluonman, can you unmount and do it in terminal? [05:25] sjea: sudo or su [05:25] liquid: OK. So, the usual question at this point is "why are you doing that"? [05:25] cabrioleur, alright. I'll do it again in terminal. [05:25] sjea: or sudo su [05:25] gluonman, sorry :-) [05:25] sjea: sudo -i [05:25] cabrioleur, no problem [05:25] karsten: Well I understand, im using aptitude and its perfect [05:25] liquid: My point is: what are you trying to accomplish by installing gtk2.0? [05:26] karsten: I want to install airsnort [05:26] lol [05:26] Hi, can someone telme how to save iwconfig configuration? [05:26] liquid: 'aptitude search gtk.*2.0' should provide a list of packages. [05:26] sudo is a nice tool, but in ubuntu is taken to n(th) level of ridiculousness [05:26] liquid: Of which: 'libgtk2.0-0' appears to be what you want. [05:26] liquid: OK. Then install airsnort. [05:26] karsten: How would I know the right one [05:27] karsten: If you wouldnt of told me [05:27] Hey Guys, I have got Ubuntu up and running, but its not giving me wireless options [05:27] needing help with FTP as well as setitng up a console only computer [05:27] Anyone migth be able to help ? [05:27] liquid: I'm presuming your *actual* question is something like "I'm trying to install airsnort and I'm getting error XXX, what do I do now?" [05:27] Puppy, what do you mean as wireless options? [05:27] hey guys : left click on the connection icon on your panel [05:27] cabrioleur - uploading images now [05:27] cabrioleur, now it doesn't seem to be automounting at all. And when I type 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1' it says it is not recognized. [05:27] liquid: educated guess. I'm kinda old to Linux. libgtk2.0-0-0 looks like it's the most likely package for a specific library. [05:27] http://pastebin.com/d364323f0 -- anyone have any ideas? [05:27] hey guys: it should pop up with a list of available connections [05:28] question.. can we install oracle in ubutu. thats posible?? [05:28] cabrioleur - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/DivineDSN/network2.png [05:28] cabrioleur - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/DivineDSN/network2.png [05:28] Sammy: Probably. Google for install or see if someone knows specifically. [05:28] cabrioleur - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/DivineDSN/network2.png [05:28] karsten: Your correct. But I understand the error and how to fix it, I used to use linux and unix like 8 years ago and forgot most of it but its coming back so I understand the process but there are some advancments like apt-get and all that good stuff [05:28] gluonman, remove the cable and plug it back (it's external, right?) [05:28] argh [05:28] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/DivineDSN/networkcard.png [05:28] ap [05:28] cabrioleur, that's what I did. It won't automount when I plug it back in. [05:28] Puppy: hi. how did you get it to work? as i remember you were having busybox problems [05:28] cabrioleur - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/DivineDSN/netwrokcard.png [05:28] !iwconfig [05:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about iwconfig [05:28] Sammy: My general understanding is that Oracle's actually working specificaly with Ubuntu though they may target specific LTS releases. [05:28] legend2440 - its installe dnow and runnign [05:29] just getting the wireless up [05:29] cabrioleur: technically it's supposed to be safer, but also there is only one password to compromise with sudo... [05:29] liquid: Please provide: the commands you issued. The errors you got. I don't want your interpretation, I want the command/error. === H is now known as Guest55758 [05:29] liquid: Specifically: aptitude update; aptitude install airsnort. Then what? [05:29] im using dynamode pci care [05:29] karsten: I was installing airsnort by hand [05:29] liquid: Don' [05:30] liquid: don't do that. === blah is now known as keram [05:30] liquid: You've got the most f*cking awesome package manager ever conceived. Use it. [05:30] liquid: If you do do that, then know how to resolve stupid stuff like dependencies by yourself. [05:30] karsten: Why is everybody telling me that. Is that old school? [05:30] m1ndctrl, right, after installation of sshd the default configuration for instance does not allow root (good), but you can log in as user and play with sudo as much as you want. What kind of safer is that? [05:31] karsten: I kinda do understand how but its been a while === keram is now known as blah === blah is now known as keram [05:31] needd help with FTP [05:31] liquid: The whole idea behind Ubuntu/Debian (I'm mostly D but am using U ATM) is that you let the package management system sort out stupid stuff like that. [05:31] i have a toshiba satellite laptop A100 that is this close to migrating to linux. however, i cant find the ubuntu 8.04 live cd. i only found 7.10, i put it in and it seems it recognised almost everything. even wireless works with the laptop on/off switch. is there some other check i miss, other than sound and the usege of the cards slot? [05:31] cabrioleur: agreed... but one is best off using private key encryption for ssh sessions - at the least for sessions that run across the internet. [05:31] liquid: So yeah, installing packages by hand is pretty old school. I typically have maybe two-three packages I hand-install. [05:31] !nivida [05:31] cabrioleur, what should I do since it won't automount? [05:31] karsten: What is D, and ATM? [05:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about nivida [05:32] liquid: ... and I think there's an installer for google-earth now, so that's now _one_. [05:32] gluonman, open up the terminal. [05:32] liquid: d == debian atm == at the moment. [05:32] liquid: shorthand. [05:32] cabrioleur, alright [05:32] karsten: Gotcha [05:32] liquid: u == ubuntu [05:32] now do ls /dev/sd* and tell me if you can see your drive. [05:32] dude how to created crontab??? please [05:32] gluonman, and if you see it what it is. [05:32] Sammy: as user or root? [05:32] Sammy: there is alredy a crontab file [05:33] any one know any thing about FTP or console installs [05:33] karsten: So I did aptitude search airsnort and nothing [05:33] Sammy: As user: 'crontab'. As root: edit /etc/crontab, or better, /etc/cron.d/ [05:33] Sammy: edit /etc/crontab [05:33] michaelwilliamca: ME! [05:33] karsten i'm root [05:33] liquid: Point ;-) [05:33] how hard is it going to be for a newbi to upgrade the new Ubuntu [05:33] cabrioleur, you know what? I just noticed that the old label of the drive shows up in /media as an unknown file. Do you think changing the label as an attempted fix did something to change all of this? [05:33] sjea: Well you figured out how to login to IRC and and ask a question... so you pass ;-) [05:34] karsten: So if I find the program wanted using aptitude then just do the apt-get? [05:34] thanks dude [05:34] liquid: It may be in multiverse. I'm not sure if Ubuntu has an equivalent packages.debian.org [05:34] sjea: if you have ati and fglrx, the after upgrade situation will be tough [05:34] liquid: Hell yes! [05:34] m1ndctrl, that's against the advertisement of ubuntu, where everything is pre-configured. The default security is not restricted to public keys. The first thing I always do is root password and visudo, for security. [05:34] cool love that [05:34] gluonman: if it doesnt make sense there, try dmesg. [05:34] karsten: Okay, so im lI needooking for the x11 and it found like a billion how do I know which one [05:34] sjea: Be advised, wifi cards and ATI video cards can cause major headaches [05:34] Sammy: Root also has its own user corontab (maintained with the 'crontab' command and installed in /var/spool/cron/ (I think), but Don't Use That in general. [05:34] karsten: Okay, so im looking for the x11 and it found like a billion how do I know which one need [05:34] sjea: if neither of those things apply - should be smooth sailing [05:35] liquid: You need what? [05:35] karsten: x11 [05:35] root@samsul:~# /etc/crontab [05:35] -su: /etc/crontab: Permission denied [05:35] liquid: aptitude install xserver-xorg [05:35] hope it fixes a few of my problems nope im invidia [05:35] liquid: It's gotten *really* good. [05:35] Sammy: dont run it - edit it [05:35] well close [05:35] cabrioleur: ubuntu is convenient because it incredibly fast to install and many things work by default, I don't think that is however a reason to rely on pre-configuration, linux is about learning too no? ;) [05:35] cabrioleur, I don't know. [05:35] Sammy: running at the raw root prompt is dangerous and not recommended [05:35] to that spelling [05:35] lol [05:35] cabrioleur, /dev/sdb1 is no longer recognized after the last command. [05:36] i have to reboot often to get my video to be the right color [05:36] karsten: So aptitude is the same as apt-get? [05:36] liquid: Looks like there may not be an airsnort packaged for Ubuntu. I've got it for Debian though. [05:36] my video turn green [05:36] ? [05:36] strange [05:36] yea [05:36] gluonman, are you sure it didn't change to sdc1 for instance? [05:37] liquid: no -similar - same package lists [05:37] gluonman, can you give me your dmesg log in pastebin? [05:37] liquid: aptitude superscedes apt-get. They're effectively the same, though aptitude does better dependencies checking, logs stuff, and is all-around better. It is a bit slower as a result, don't be fooled by that. [05:37] cabrioleur, I'll try it. [05:37] sjea: Bad tubes? [05:37] cabrioleur, remind me how to use pastebin? [05:37] Installed Wine and running uTorrent - Was using Deluge - When click on torrent wants to still use Deluge but would like to use uTorrent - Can't figure out to make uTorrent default app to run. Anyone have fix ? ? [05:37] I see [05:37] can I add a special comment to the first line of a config file that makes gedit show it in nice colors (eg with the # comments greyed)? [05:37] no i hope not [05:37] !pastebin > gluonman [05:37] gluonman, please see my private message [05:37] newlife: Should be able to configure default apps somewhere in the GNOME or KDE control paenel(s). [05:38] only in my video nothing else and sound goes bad [05:38] after reboot it works well [05:38] sorta like windows xp lol [05:38] karsten: So it would be sudo aptitude install "prgram" [05:38] liquid: Yes. [05:38] control alt delete [05:38] *program [05:38] cabrioleur, the dmesg is so long the terminal doesn't remember all of it. [05:38] Ohmu_: are you talking about syntax recognition? this is application specific not file specific. Although you can use color configuration files with nano for example. [05:39] newlife, download a torrent file, right click it > properties > open with > add > custom command > wine /path/to/utorrent.exe [05:39] liquid: You can also run aptitude interactively. It's a console-based application (like vim or top), very handy that way. [05:39] karsten: Rt click on saved torrent file and go to properties to change - but uTorrent not showing up as selection. [05:39] gluonman, "sudo dmesg > log.log" will create a text file log.log with informations in it. [05:39] Hey guys really qick question is there any way to increase the MIC senstivity at all? and also is there any programs for recoding voice?? [05:39] liquid: It also includes a tetris game. [05:39] which debian package supplies "gthread"? [05:39] theJKH: Through your mixer control. Try aumix or alsamixer [05:39] theJKH, one of your options in alsamixer should be mic boost. [05:40] karsten: Im doing it and it looks like its working but its not installing it when I try to do ./configure it still says missing [05:40] theJKH: ... if there's not a GUI mixer on your dock already. [05:40] Sweet is taht a package i download? [05:40] theJKH: in sound properties.. if u cant find it - add it from the menu... [05:40] liquid: Sorry, doing what? [05:40] i nees a mic booster [05:40] theJKH, arecord [05:40] newlife: NFC, sorry. [05:40] karsten: Im trying something else let me see if this fixes it [05:40] liquid: OK. Not sure what "it" is. [05:40] cabrioleur, http://paste.ubuntu.com/61358/ [05:41] How do I log in as root from the log in screen [05:41] is there anyway to do a repair install ? or am i way off [05:41] m1ndctrl: yes. gedit will color in certain files eg c++ files. but others, it won't. like /etc/network/interfaces [05:41] karsten: Okay configure: error: *** Could not enable any of FreeType, X11, Cairo, or Win32 backends. [05:41] still really new to this os [05:41] karsten: Thats the error [05:41] mouseboy: That should do it - Thanks much. [05:41] Ohmu_: well, thats probably because it doesn't have specific syntax highlighting support for that file format. [05:41] gluonman, it says sdb1 is there. [05:42] gluonman, when you type in terminal ls /dev/sdb1 does it return the file? [05:42] Ohmu_: I bet if you cp one of those files as a .c and then open u will see the keywords of c syntax highlighted even though it is not c. [05:42] HMS I don't think X allows root logins [05:42] cabrioleur, well, when I type 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1' it says mount: can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [05:42] too insecure === scan_ is now known as konsa [05:42] gluonman, :-) that's something else. [05:42] mouseboy: Slight problem here - not sure where to find uTorrent app ? [05:43] gluonman, lest's edit fdisk now :-) [05:43] cabrioleur, but when I type ls /dev/sdb1 it does return /dev/sdb1 [05:43] HMS: if you ahven't set passwd on your box then you can't, as root technically does not have a permanent password. [05:43] mouseboyx: Neub here - will try [05:43] RHorse: Thanks [05:43] cabrioleur, alright. Don't know how to edit fdisk, but lead the way. [05:43] gluonman, correct. Let's find the cursed writeup. "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" will open text editor with mount point and option. [05:43] anyone using vnc4viewer? [05:44] HMS, np. Just run gksudo when you need to run an X app as root. [05:44] cabrioleur, I opened the fstab [05:44] m1ndctrl: ya correct. .. ok gtg breakfast bbl [05:44] If I get xubuntu, will it have Add/Remove on the menu? [05:44] today i used gksudo nautilus, very useful thanks [05:45] liquid: Sorry, reboot. [05:45] gluonman, sorry for that but can you open another terminal first (you can live the rest open for now) [05:45] cabrioleur, sure. [05:45] liquid: That error came from *what* command? [05:45] mouseboyx: Not sure where to browse to to find uTorrent app. I know I need to drill down through my newlife/Home/ ? Not where to go from here? [05:45] Hi. I have two servers. One I have full ssh (root) access to, the other I only have access to ftp for one account. I need to copy files from the server I have root on to the other server. How do I do that? [05:45] gluonman, and do a command "sudo gnome-mount -d /dev/sdb1" [05:45] liquid: O: trying to build airsnort? [05:45] karsten: ./configure [05:46] RAdams: Most (good) SSH servers restrict root access. [05:46] mouseboy: Not sure where to find - sorry . [05:46] karsten: it's my server. [05:46] cabrioleur, it mounted. [05:46] liquid: You're building airsnort? [05:46] gluonman, :-) [05:46] karsten: Can I just use aptitude to install gtk++2 [05:46] gluonman, is it as "disk"? [05:46] bye all [05:46] karsten: it's ssh key controlled, but that's not the point. [05:46] anyone know a good place for super wide wallpapers? i need 5040x1050 [05:46] at the open with add menu newlife, put that in as a custom command [05:46] liquid: Yeah, you're going to need the -dev library though, FYI. [05:47] cabrioleur, yes, and thankfully, the folder images for my movies are showing. But the icon on my desktop is still that stupid half-folded piece of paper rather than my .ico for the device itself. [05:47] karsten: Okay now whats the diff. between dev and the other? [05:47] RAdams: Then enable root access. /etc/ssh/sshd_config [05:47] gluonman, what version of ubuntu are you using? [05:47] RAdams: ... and reload the ssh server: /etc/init.d/ssh reload [05:47] karsten: that has nothing to do with my question [05:47] cabrioleur, 8.04.1 Hardy [05:47] liquid: One works a lot better if you're trying to build software. [05:47] RAdams: Really? [05:47] cabrioleur, do you think I aught to change the label back to default? [05:47] "Hi. I have two servers. One I have full ssh (root) access to, the other I only have access to ftp for one account. I need to copy files from the server I have root on to the other server. How do I do that?" [05:47] RAdams, man sdc. [05:47] I need to copy files from one server to the other. [05:47] RAdams: Doh... OK, se.c [05:47] Not enable root [05:48] checking man sdc now [05:48] gluonman, yes, but first unmount it. [05:48] cabrioleur, alright. [05:48] RAdams: or scp. [05:48] wait.. nvm.. no ssh on other side. [05:48] m1ndctrl: yeah >.< [05:48] karsten: Gotcha, it found a million packages how can I narrow it down? [05:48] cabrioleur, it's unmounted. How do I change the label back to default? [05:48] m1ndctrl, RAdams that's what I meant :-) scp [05:48] RAdams: lftp is my preferred file transfer tool, though a lot of apps give that to you and allow multiplle protocols, including konqueror, mc, and (I think) nautilus, the otherwise-crap GNOME file browser with a specification problem. [05:49] liquid: aptitude search libgtk2.*-dev [05:49] gluonman, did you change it in gnome properties, or ntfs tool? [05:49] cabrioleur: i dont believe u can use scp for ssh <-> ftp [05:49] karsten: I suppose I could invoke ftp from the server I can ssh into... [05:49] cabrioleur, I used ntfslabel, which is a part of ntfsprogs [05:49] ssh supports encryption and ftp does not... [05:49] !browser [05:49] Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [05:49] liquid: The -dev libraries include the headers which are required to build and link software. The non-dev libraries have only the shared-object files to dynamically link at runtime. [05:49] is there a shell command to find out what vid card i have? [05:50] karsten: Thank you [05:50] gluonman, it's a good program. You can use it again. [05:50] RAdams: Are bot hof thes remote to your curren tlocation or what? [05:50] mouseboyx: I cut-n-paste command like you said but when click on torrent file does not open in uTorrent. [05:50] Coldhak: lspci | grep VGA [05:50] RAdams: I'm assuming you've got ftp-*only* access to one system? [05:50] cabrioleur, is there a command that removes the 'disk' label I gave it and resort to default? [05:51] mouseboyx: What if use browse to ? and locate app ? [05:51] RAdams: Other than the standard "ftp transmits your username/pass in the clear and shouldn't be used" lecture: i'd log into the system I canSSH to, and ftp from there to the FTP server (with lftp or mc), and copy over the files I needed. [05:51] liquid: NP [05:51] les, thanks [05:51] If you install a new repository list, do you have to load the old one if you want to do an apt-get install for something that was on the 1st list? [05:52] a1len: are you replacing the list or appending? [05:52] karsten: I found kismet on the aptitude, would that be better? [05:53] m1ndctrl, I saved one and want to switch back to the original one. I can combine the two? [05:53] liquid: Yeah, actually, I was going to suggest that. [05:53] a1len: yes you can add more sources to the existing list, there should be no reason I can think of to create a new list. [05:53] liquid: it's an ncurses/console app, seems to work pretty well, and is generally what I use when I'm out hunting networks. [05:53] karsten: Is there a GUI for kismet? [05:54] cabrioleur, this is just a guess, but if I type 'ntfslabel /dev/sdb1' perhaps it will make the label default? Or would it just give me whatever the current label is? [05:54] liquid: Not sure. [05:54] karsten: sorry, comp crashed. to answer your question, yes, I am remote from both servers [05:54] * Mimi asks: any bunnies know what's the command for the Add/Remove program? [05:54] gluonman, no, it will display the label :-) [05:54] karsten: When I type kismet this is what I get, kismet [05:54] Launching kismet_server: //usr/bin/kismet_server [05:54] Suid priv-dropping disabled. This may not be secure. [05:54] Done. [05:54] liquid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:54] Mimi: aptitude [05:54] m1ndctrl, so do you know how I make it recognize the original one so I can just copy and paste the rest in it? [05:54] cabrioleur, well, then how do I reset it? [05:54] cabrioleur, that's what man says, sorry I was reading documentation. [05:54] liquid: Run as root. [05:55] karsten: let me try [05:55] karsten, mmmmm that's terminal based, am I missing something? ^^; I'm talking about the GUI found in the "start" menu [05:55] ftp loads from inside local netowrk but not over internet [05:55] hrrrm [05:55] ok [05:55] sites like youtube and hulu seem a bit choppy [05:55] with 8.10 [05:55] karsten: So I need to read about it alittle bit [05:55] but at least it had my wireless drivers [05:55] w0o0o [05:56] gluonman, I would try sudo ntfslabel /dev/sdb1 '' [05:56] gluonman, or leave it as disk (it doesn't hurt at all) [05:56] Mimi: yeah, there's one, I forget the name. [05:57] I see the fonts on my ubuntu dosnt look so good, its possible improve it? [05:57] RAdams: NP. See my previous response. [05:57] cabrioleur, well I wouldn't think, but for some reason, the moment I changed the label from 500.1 GB Media to disk, the folder image on the desktop changed from a nice picture of the external to a stupid white piece of paper. [05:57] Mimi: synaptic? [05:57] cabrioleur, no matter what I do to change it back to the nice image, it will not allow me to change it. Same when I'm lookin in /media/ with nautilus. [05:58] Mimi: I think it's called adept. [05:58] gluonman, if it does, it's a bug report in nautilus... [05:58] karsten, i just right clicked on it on the menu (didnt know you could do that), selected add to panel (didnt know you could do that either), then right clicked on the new icon that was created on the panel, and it gives the path for the command: its gnome-app-install :P So intuitive haha [05:58] Mimi: ... that said, I'd *storngly* recommend aptitude, which cna be used batch or interactively. [05:58] karsten, i prefer apt-get ^^;; [05:58] Mimi: Sure. I'm a little old-school. [05:58] gluonman, but lets try sudo ntfslabel /dev/sdb1 '' [05:58] cabrioleur, so from now on it should automount at /media/disk? [05:58] cabrioleur, alright. [05:59] Mimi: aptitude is better and (at least on Debian) strongly recommended over apt-get. [05:59] see ya.. locos.. you found me on #supremos [05:59] karsten, how / why so ? [05:59] hey all [05:59] gluonman, if you leave the icon, then yes. if you don't, the the first mounted external drive will be mounted as disk. [05:59] with ftp (from terminal) why does it only transfer one file when I "put *" ? [05:59] gluonman, I meant when you leave the label. [05:59] What messages are logged in /var/log/apt/term.log and what messages not? [05:59] cabrioleur, alright. [06:00] Mimi: Sec... [06:00] Mimi: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2004-04/3181.html [06:00] cabrioleur, so we don't need to do anything with fstab, then? [06:00] thats funny karsten i just happened to be reading that site (not that article though) [06:00] gluonman, no, you can safely close it :-) [06:01] http://snackpetition.blogspot.com/ please read that link, it is a matter we would like to resolve as soon as we can, and public is the only people that can help. [06:01] anybody know how to set an application (in this case, the netbook remix launcher) to start on gnome startup? [06:01] gluonman, and about the icon, can you right click on the icon of your disk and go to preferences? [06:01] Mimi: It's a *very* large mailing list archive. That post is written by the guy who does most fo the work on the Debian installer package. He knows his sh*t. [06:01] !spam | mib_z814z0 [06:01] mib_z814z0: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubottu ): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !Caps, !NickSpam, !PM, !English - And most importantly, use common sense... [06:01] geremy, you mean like "Sessions"? found under preferences [06:01] cabrioleur, even though I typed the command to change the label to "500.1 GB Media", when I typed sudo mount /dev/sdb1 it still couldn't be found. But when I typed sudo gnome-mount -d /dev/sdb1 it mounted with 'disk' as the label and the icon was still that stupid piece of paper. [06:02] anyone here gotten OS X to work on virtualbox? [06:02] I'm having a problem with ubuntu, I cant get on the internet... [06:02] mimi: I'm looking for a way to do it globally, and preferably via conf file [06:02] wired network problem, already insalled driver, but it doesnt show when i conect or disconect the cable as it should, have no conection either. [06:02] mecha: doing so is a violation of the EULA, and ought not be discussed here. [06:02] nano404: How are you trying to get on the Internet? [06:02] cabrioleur, actually, right-clicking the icon and changing any preferences doesn't solve anything. Any changes get automatically ignored, or changed back. [06:02] mecha: Google is your friend. [06:02] Karsten: wired [06:02] mib_z814z0: plzing to be ontopic plz [06:02] gluonman, it's not in the fstab. The new way to do it is "gnome-mount -d /dev/sdb1" [06:02] Fonts on my ubuntu dosnt look so good, its possible improve it? Im using 1280x800 resolution. [06:02] gluonman, with sudo [06:02] RAdams: actually the EULA was changed to add a clause about allowing OS X to be virtualized [06:03] nano404: Do you have local LAN access? What's your gateway? Are you using some sort of hardware cable modem / DSL modem / Linksys-type router? [06:03] how can I find what name (/dev/...) my flash drive has ? [06:03] mecha: on OSX machines, using approved virtualization setups, yes. [06:03] cabrioleur, alright. But it used to show up on my desktop with 500.1 GB Media as the label. It's still showing as disk. [06:03] gluonman, or right click on it and pick mount. [06:03] karsten: i already have. no useful info that's why i'm here [06:03] gluonman, right, standby. [06:03] Does anybody use wpa_supplicant? I'm getting this error: ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 [06:03] Karsten: i had ubuntu on a laptop before, and it wasn't working, my teacher kept saying something about confuiguring the modem to work with linux, but never elaborated [06:04] mecha: General drill is: check NIC seating, link light, media (cable), configuration (ifconfig;drivers etc), gateway, route, forwarding on gateway, DNS resolution, local (LAN) and remote (forwarded) ping targets. [06:04] Karsten: LAN, router [06:04] mecha: Modem or NIC? [06:04] i think you're meaning to talk to nano404, karsten... [06:04] karsten: for what, i don't understand the question [06:04] mecha: Right. [06:04] nano404: ^^ [06:04] gluonman, do you have gparted? [06:05] I'm having trouble with SSH, and I'm a noob when it comes to security, so if anybody can help me figure out how to proceed, that would be really useful. I'm getting a "IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!", a message about an "offending key", some other warnings, ending with "Host key verification failed." [06:05] wired network problem, already insalled driver, but it doesnt show when i conect or disconect the cable as it should, have no conection either. in network tools i clik configure eth0 and it returns,: interface does not exist [06:05] RyanPrior: It's the first time you've connected to a host. [06:05] karsten: whoa hey there dont get nasty [06:05] cabrioleur, yes. I even have a live CD of it. But I just tried something. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it automounted with the label 500.1 GB Media. [06:05] link me to ubuntu live cd plz [06:05] karsten: This is a host I've connected to before, but not in awhile. [06:06] cabrioleur, the only problem is that it mounted to /media/500.1 GB Media_ instead of /media/disk [06:06] RyanPrior: SSH checks to see if the server (remote host key) is known, and if it's not, it gives you that warning. If you happen to know the remote server key, check it. If you don't, standard (though not best) practice is to just say 'y' to the prompt. [06:06] cabrioleur, this is getting too confusing. [06:06] RyanPrior: ... in which case the remote host key may have changed. If you know the administrator, I'd drop him/her an email and ask wassup? [06:06] btw i dont remember who was askin but the reason to use aptitude instead of apt-get is that aptitude will remember the packages and when you go to remove the app, apt get will just remove the one you manually specify, and not the dependancies [06:06] mecha: I'm not. [06:07] mecha: ... just brief. Was acknowledging you, appreciate your mentioning it. [06:07] karsten: host name checking may also have failed, which would be very common in home setups [06:07] karsten: i told you i don't understand the question and you responded with "Right." [06:07] geremy: Point. [06:07] Karsten: Router [06:07] WOW i have to my lips right up to the microphone for it to hear me and the mics up full blast anyone know a soultion??? [06:07] gluonman, then right click on it, preferences, the volume tab and as a mount point type disk [06:07] karsten: maybe you could have just re-phrased the question instead of shunning me [06:07] mecha: Sorry, repeat. Where were we at? [06:07] mecha: he was saying "right" to me, who was pointing out he meant to type to nano404. [06:07] gluonman, it should be fine from now on. [06:07] nano404: OK: can yo ping the router? [06:07] cabrioleur, alright. let me try that. [06:08] karsten: As far as I know, there is no published server key. When I first connected, it just set everything up automatically. [06:08] How can I enable an inteface in 8.04.1, in my case eth0 [06:08] Karsten: havent tried, how do I? [06:08] link me to ubuntu live cd plz post link tia [06:08] mecha: Lose the 'tude. I'm trying to help folks, not intentioanally doing anything, and it's a hell of a busy channel. Also got my own stuff I'm up to. What was your question. [06:08] nano404: ping [06:08] poostation3: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [06:08] poostation3: Also, read topic. [06:08] RAdams: " mecha: Right." I believe that was directed at me [06:08] RyanPrior: Just say yes then and hope that nothing nasty is happening. [06:09] Can some one please help. I currently have both KDE and Gnome installed. The problem is that while with Gnome, I get about 2 hours of battery time (I use it on a laptop). With KDE I only get about 10 minutes of battery time. I perfer KDE so is there a way to fix this? [06:09] karsten: It doesn't give me a yes/no, it just fails. [06:09] ryanprior: that is not link to live cd! that is to install [06:09] I have problems with ubuntu, my fonts appears very ugly. How can i fix that, please? [06:09] karsten: My question is simple. has anyone here gotten OS X to run in virtualbox? [06:09] lol [06:09] RyanPrior: One sec. [06:09] it's yes or no [06:09] mecha: Probably. [06:09] mecha: Google is your friend. [06:09] cabrioleur, everything is normal now, but the folder image on the desktop is still that stupid piece of paper. [06:10] google-fu [06:10] cabrioleur, but hold on, must feed my daughter. [06:10] poostation3: We like to do things in an efficient way: we made the LiveCD also be the install CD. :-) [06:10] crashedata: You will most likely get a faster answer to your porblem in #kubuntu. [06:10] ok thanks. [06:10] karsten: like i said before, i've tried all the google links and found no useful information so i'm here [06:10] ryanprior: invoke ssh with the -o CheckHostIP no option [06:10] mecha: for the last time, this is not the place to ask that. It is a violation of the EULA to virtualize OS X on a non-Apple computer. We are trying to be polite and helpful. [06:10] mecha: And no, you're not going to browbeat an answer out of me because that's all I know. HAND. [06:10] How can I enable an inteface in 8.04.1, in my case eth0 [06:10] df [06:10] gd [06:10] d [06:10] sd [06:10] fs [06:10] doctah: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:10] hello, i just installed 8.04 on my lappy, and it doesnt detect my wireless device, my card i imagine, how can i fix this? [06:11] check restricted drivers [06:11] JoseBravo, go to system -> preferences -> appearance -> Fonts and mark subpixel smoothing. [06:11] RAdams: who says i'm using a non apple computer? [06:11] anyone know why i ahve to have mt lios basicly on the mc for it to hear me [06:11] ryanprior: very funny guess ill have to learn how to partition drive and put it on side by vista [06:11] even though i got mic all the way p [06:11] Karsten: It pings [06:11] mic [06:11] RyanPrior: 'ssh-add -d ' will delete any known key values for a given host. [06:11] nano404: OK, that means your local networking is set up. [06:12] it is... [06:12] Still unable to play a DVD have tried VLC (disc starts running then vlc closes down) Mplayer starts to read disk (can hear music form dvd start to play then gives me some sort of connection error) Kaffine player does not work [06:12] any suggestions [06:12] nano404: Run the following commands and pastebin output: /sbin/ifconfig -a; /sbin/route -n [06:12] theJKH, usually because of your card being recognized wrong (missing parameters) or because of quality of drivers. [06:12] poostation3: No joke. No need to repartition anything. The install CD will boot into a LiveCD environment first. If you're interested, there's also Wubi, which lets you try out Ubuntu without repartitioning. [06:12] Anyone i could please take a 5 min phone call to help me while im loaded in ubuntu with installing this wireless card [06:12] question...what's meaning crond.pid?? [06:12] rogan, you need libdvdcss2 [06:12] Oh shityy... [06:12] RyanPrior: Since the known-hosts file now hashes hostnames/identifiers, you can't manually delete keys as easily as yo used to be able to. [06:13] Karsten: I cant pastebin output? It's on a different computer? [06:13] i woudl be most geatfull, its 7am here.. and i been doing this all night [06:13] HMS: Try 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' [06:13] legend2440 ? [06:13] RAdams, karsten: LOOK, I didn't come here to be pushed into a corner, i can to ask a question. so if you want to argue take it to the forums. otherwise help or don't. whetever you may think i am trying to do to upset anyone, you are wrong. please i just want answers not a confrontation [06:13] cabrioleur: thank you [06:13] Sammy: cornd.pid is a file that contains the PID (process ID) of the currently running cron daemon. Sometimes the file hangs around after cron has died. What's the error message? [06:13] Puppy: yes [06:13] karsten: I'm not sure what the hostspec would be. Can you give an example? [06:13] legend2440 - any chance you coudl give me 5 mins on the phone ? [06:13] ryanprior: i tried wubi before but it messed up my computer with xp on it. I now have vista x64 so hopefully it works? [06:13] nano404: Then write it down and type it back in, or transfer it on a floppy / flash drive / clay tablet. You're a bright guy, sort it out. [06:14] RyanPrior: ip address. Hostname. However you attempted to connect to the remote host. [06:14] poostation3: The LiveCD should be safer, but as far as I know Wubi works well on Windows Vista. [06:14] What messages are logged in /var/log/apt/term.log and what messages not? [06:14] bullgard4: The ones that are there are logged there, the ones that aren't aren't ;-) [06:14] Puppy: i don't have wireless. i wouldnt be any help [06:14] I cant made crontab karsten. please teach me step by step. you know I'm a newbie [06:14] * karsten ducks. [06:15] legend2440 the problem is not wireless, its extracking files to usr [06:15] !language > theJKH [06:15] theJKH, please see my private message [06:15] Sammy: What are you trying to run? What do you want to have happen and when? [06:15] legend2440 - i can explain in 1 min on the phone [06:15] legend2440 and run through it with you and im sure you will know what im doing wrong if you haev been usign this for more than a month [06:15] ryanprior: well see if it works. i still have 2 days to return this new laptop with 15% restocking fee. [06:15] i'm a user I want to run my shell unix script [06:15] legend2440 - can we try, nothign to loose.. im about to uninstall it and say fck it [06:15] Sammy: My suggestion would be to look at /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.d/, and/or /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly} [06:15] poostation3: Is it a well-known laptop brand? [06:16] Sammy: As a user? [06:16] Sammy: ... as opposed to by root? [06:16] karsten: Was this a wise answer? [06:16] yess [06:16] Sammy: 'crontab' [06:16] hi i have Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) and not working any body can help me fix this problem? [06:16] Sammy: man 5 crontab will give you the file format. [06:17] Sammy: [06:17] bullgard4: It was technically accurate but probably not helpful [06:17] karsten: I'm confused about how to use ssh-add: what should I put after -d? [06:17] please expample?? [06:17] RyanPrior: Hostpec. [06:17] Sammy: RTFM [06:17] is there a repository with azue on it ? [06:17] hadi57: "not working" is not an exact description. Any error messages? [06:18] karsten: What do I read to find out what a hostspec looks like? [06:18] hadi57, you need the new version of madwifi-hal from their website, from savanah. It works fine up there. [06:18] Hey, I'd like to change the cursor used when the pointer is in an xterm from the thick one to the old thin style. Any thoughts on how I might do this? [06:18] RyanPrior: The hostspec is however you attempted to conne t to the host. [06:18] can you guide me please? [06:18] RyanPrior: if I tried: ssh www.google.com, then: ssh-add -d www.google.com [06:18] karsten: is it me@myserver, or just myserver [06:18] mecha: no one is shoving you into a corner. We're trying to explain to you that we can not help you violate Apple's EULA. Is their EULA stupid? Sure. Take it up with them. It is the policy of this channel not to assist with violating EULAs, though -- sorry. [06:18] RyanPrior: Just the server component, I think. Just try it. [06:19] karsten: That gives me "bad keyfile", which is why I assumed I must be doing it wrong. [06:19] What messages are logged in /var/log/apt/term.log and what messages not? [06:19] this 8.10 installed at 1920xsomething and my monitor wont show it, and now i find that there's no xorg.conf? what is this wackiness ? [06:19] ryanprior: its hp [06:19] RyanPrior: OK. The other option is to delete the key by the entry in the known_hosts file. [06:19] cabrioleur, every time I mount it, it's mounting at /media/500.1 GB Media_ instead of /media/disk [06:19] beek: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. and your xorg.conf is in /etc/X11/ [06:19] RAdams: i understood that before i joined. i simply asked if anyone has gotten it to work. i din't ask someone to help me violate the EULA [06:20] RyanPrior: sed -i -e 'd' ~/.ssh/known_hosts [06:20] karsten: There are a bunch of them and they all look like gibberish. How do I decide which one to nix? [06:20] cabrioleur, even though I put disk in the mount point bar in the volume tab of preferences. [06:20] mecha: the answer is no. [06:20] RyanPrior: ... where is the line number given by your ssh access attempt fialure message [06:20] RAdams: ur face is a no [06:20] RyanPrior: yeah, as I said, SSH hashes (renders non-hukman readable)_ the hostname. [06:20] !manners > mecha [06:20] s/hukman/human/ [06:20] I can't seem to get it to boot to a non-gui mode, Radams, and the xorg.conf is there, but it doesnt seem to be used anymore. [06:20] RAdams: I ignored him a ways ago. [06:21] wake up ubottu [06:21] !manners | mecha [06:21] mecha: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [06:21] karsten: That doesn't output anything, unfortunately. [06:21] that does however [06:21] RyanPrior: Try ssh connect again and pastebin the error [06:21] beek: is grub installed and working? [06:21] yas, R [06:21] gluonman, what directory you have in /media ? [06:22] can i install the grub from the ubuntu live cd without installing ubuntu? [06:22] yes [06:22] why would you want to? [06:22] !grub | oalep [06:22] oalep: 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 [06:22] should have installed the first time [06:22] to try to boot windows from grub. but i dont want linux in that laptop [06:22] cabrioleur, if I automount, it will mount at /media/disk. But if I manually mount it mounts to /media/500.1 GB Media. I think the whole ntfslabel thing screwed something up. [06:22] karsten: I'm very sloppy with all this stuff - I just tried the original ssh command again and it connects just fine. I'm not sure which thing I did worked in particular, but thanks for giving me ideas. [06:23] ahh [06:23] just to check, that would avoid me formatting [06:23] cabrioleur, and I still can't get the white paper image to change to my desired .ico. [06:23] you can do it [06:23] not what would be recommended [06:23] oooh, i got to a prompt. nice. [06:23] karsten: It makes the security feel like a farce, though. Someday I'll learn how the whole system works, perhaps. [06:23] you would need a little grub partition [06:23] Vantrax if it doesnt work, ill just format like i had planned to [06:24] oalep: grub is really only useful if you're booting multiple OSs. what specifically are you trying to do? [06:24] it does work, just not as easy as it sounds:P [06:24] Anyone able to get recordmydesktop to record audio? [06:24] i should clarify: it's not very useful for booting windows, it just happens to be able to do it. [06:24] Does anyone know why an apt mirror (created with `apt-mirror`) doesn't mirror the debian-installer folder or any of the associated folders which are required for a pxe-booted install? [06:24] when i restart i get stuck at a shell screen that says bin/sh cant access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) [06:25] RyanPrior: One sec. [06:25] * karsten is afk [06:25] the initial mess is so big, that i cant afford explaining all :) but believe me, if i install grub standalone. and it can boot windows (thing i cant do right now) it will be AWESOME [06:26] gluonman, it shouldn't it's just the label. More likely gnome-mount is doing things different way than you are used to. [06:26] i tried to add another public key and thus another user to my ssh server, but i get Permission Denied (publickey). [06:26] Can someone help me get my sound working, I got nothing, using Intrepid Ibex [06:26] Vantrax my man if you know how to please pm me :) [06:27] Relegated: #ubuntu+1 [06:27] cabrioleur, just yesterday I was able to use sudo mount. What happened? [06:27] Relegated: Please ask this question in #ubuntu+1 [06:27] cabrioleur, but none of this seems to explain how the hell I get my folder image back on the desktop whenever the disk is mounted. [06:28] oalep: ok... well, you will need to make a small partition for grub to operate from. The grub documentation can explain the installation and setup procedure, and you could use parted or gparted from the Ubuntu live cd to make the partition.

They work both ways -- you authenticate to the remote server, it authenticates to you (via the host key), and the entire channel is encrypted. This is several steps up from earlier methods, or alternate systems such as SSL/TLS. There are still ways in which the process can be subverted. [06:33] nano404: Still here?

[07:42] i'm just not used to it :) [07:42] ubuntu_todd: I do not know the term "live station". [07:43] ok, i think i have to read the pulseaudio docs...

[07:44] i need help installing, can u help me to set partitions, whats recommended to use? [07:45] I'm sure a few of the 1280 people in here are awake, ubuntu__. [07:45] 3gig ram -> 4 gig swap, rest firing as logical partition in / ? [07:45] main desktop has it and the media center is getting it right now, if it works then it gets mythbuntu [07:45] ubuntu__ the guided partitioning works good. [07:45] or better use a /boot partition too? [07:45] maxxist: yeah but I need to get rid of old partitions [07:46] ubuntu__ but i really suggest a seperate partition for /home [07:46] ubuntu__: if you've got a whole harddrive to spare, with nothing on it, then use the "pick for me" option. [07:46] guys, sda1 is windows vista... [07:46] thats my problem:D [07:46] back [07:46] Sebboh - any good with wireless problems ? [07:46] killyour1v - hey, dasei said your good with wireless [07:46] ok here we go [07:46] ubuntu__ what size drive? [07:46] I got 68 gig [07:46] to spare for ubuntu [07:46] hi there. I already tried it yesterday without success. So here I go again. [07:46] ubuntu__ how much you give vista? [07:47] vista has 27 gig [07:47] Can anyone check if this bug affects him/her: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/284857 [07:47] Puppy: actually, no. I'm good at many things, but 802.11* isn't one of them. [07:47] ubuntu__ o suggest 8gb for / - 2-4gb for swap. and rest for /home [07:47] Sebboh - well it more related to gettign the hardware to show up than the actual wireless configuration [07:48] is 8gb enough I ve im gonna use lotsa stuff compiz/oo/gimp ? [07:48] ubuntu__ no problem [07:48] Puppy: gah. Use lspci to find the name of your wireless hardware, then google for that name +ubuntu [07:48] maxxist: thank you :) [07:48] ubuntu__ linux software is nowhere near the same size as windows [07:48] Yeah. true [07:49] ubuntu__ mainly because of shared libraries [07:49] but linux is getting better. than windows that's for sure. [07:49] ubuntu__ 100M for /boot [07:49] maxxist: uh, I'd do more than 8g for /, but maybe that's just me. [07:49] How can I reset my keyboard settings? Some keys stopped functioning after I've upgraded to intrepid, and after days of updates still don't work. [07:49] i will make 100mb /boot (primary) rest logical and 4 gig swap, 8gig /home and rest / [07:49] arg [07:49] 8gig / and rest home [07:50] ubuntu_ you from argentina [07:50] ? [07:50] Joint: no, unfortunately no.. [07:50] is anyone in here using abiword? [07:50] germany [07:50] lol [07:50] ubuntu__ everyone else says more for / [07:50] Sebboh - i kinda got that already [07:50] why [07:50] just wondering. [07:50] :S [07:50] Puppy, see, told ya I wasn't much help. :) [07:50] Sebboh - habve a look at - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/DivineDSN/Wireless.png and - http://pastebin.com/d764d01a4 [07:50] Puppy, what problem do you have with wireless? [07:50] ubuntu__ i never needed more than that. but.... [07:50] no, actually, I've got an issue of my own right now.. [07:51] killyour1v - habve a look at - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/DivineDSN/Wireless.png and - http://pastebin.com/d764d01a4 [07:51] maxxist: well Im wondering, whats the max that I need... [07:51] ubuntu__ like i say i never needed more than that. remember they can fit almost a whole desktop OS on a live CD. which is only 700 mb [07:52] ubuntu__ which is the stuff that will end up in /. so i think 8gb is more than enough [07:52] Does anyone know of an easy way to reencode wmv into mpeg-4 for an ipod? [07:52] ubuntu__ just do it, 8gig is enough [07:52] thanx guys you really helped me [07:52] ubuntu__: 8GB really is enough [07:53] Has anyone in here tried FunPidgin, or CarrierIM as it is now called? [07:53] Puppy: did you try to install the driver with ndiswrapper? [07:53] rogan yeah [07:53] ubuntu__ remember all of your data and content is stored in /home. thats why you want it to be the biggest [07:53] Question: I'm looking at an apt repos, and I see Packages.gz.. But, what should my deb line look like in sources.list? http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/monkeyiq/xUbuntu_8.04/ that's the repos. The structure isn't what I'd expect.. Can I still work with it? [07:53] ug [07:53] again: is there someone here who has installed abiword on intrepid? [07:54] Flash, anybody?

[07:57] ubuntu__ find other repos i find to be the simplest. === LBSources- is now known as LBSources [07:57] maxxist: mh, are those always exisiting? [07:58] ubuntu__ when you start compiling stuff yourself you can buggar up your dependencies and such... [07:58] maxxist: yup thats the problem... [07:58] when i get to > in terminal how do i get back? [07:58] Ctrl + c [07:58] ubuntu__ no not always available. sometimes bleeding edge software isnt worth it anyways.

They couldn't reproduce it on their Debian installation. Now there is only my launchpad bugreport left you've just read. [08:00] tdawgedogg: you can use ' around the url for best results. But it's not required for simple urls (that don't contain a bunch of ?foo=bar&foo=bar junk). [08:01] mattsqz: not in combination ofc.

[08:04] ubuntu__: WRT partitioning: 1) most people don't do multiple partitions, 2) I don't dual boot and 3) I _like_ multiple partitions.

[08:06] node357: Define "gerey out" [08:06] karsten: Which package ? [08:06] puff, i want the flash.. hehe [08:06] puff, check on http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux [08:06] i changed the background on my login screen, but i still get that orangish brown screen between the splash and the login and between login and desktop. how can i change that to black? [08:07] DaSkreech: Well, linux-source-=2.6.22 isn't found. Modulo typos. [08:07] n00bier: I had a similar problem. First of all, that graying out happens when the application process stops responding. Second of all, it turned out it stopped responding because of an out-of-control flash ad. [08:07] n00bier: flashblock just replaces the flash with an icon you can click if you decide you actually *want* to run it. [08:07] karsten, the windows is grey and i cant click on anything for some seconds [08:07] cedriczg: Yeah, that's what I did.

[08:08] DaSkreech: So what's the problem then? [08:08] puff, I found Opera does a good job although I hadn't used it much. [08:08] n00bier: Dunno. [08:08] n00bier: What browser(s)? [08:09] karsten: That's what I'm asking :) At the end of the Creative installer routine it just stops [08:09] DaSkreech: What are you installing? [08:09] cedriczg: Selected deb-for-ubuntu, downloaded & installed & restarted, but still get "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. " [08:09] karsten, hm? [08:09] Hello, I want to connect to the Internet through Dial-Up on an Inspiron|E1505.

[08:09] karsten, using opera [08:09] n00bier: Flashblock is a firefox plugin, but I'm sure there's an eqiuvalent for opera. [08:09] puff, oh. ok. The other issue [08:09] cedriczg: The other issue? [08:10] n00bier: < I don't use Opera. Might see what behavior you get with Firefox or Konqueror. [08:10] question, can you turn off ubuntus bootlogo / [08:10] puff, I mean it's not even working for you [08:10] please correct me. rsync /media/Data/ sarthor@192.168.100.105:\e$ what is the syntax to write the Windows Drives , with "/" or "\"??? [08:10] cedriczg: Yes. [08:10] karsten, the issue is much worse in firefox actually [08:10] puff, what site are you trying? [08:10] ubuntu__: you can change all the boot menus [08:10] cedriczg: youtube.com [08:10] cedriczg: But I haven't been able to get it anywahere. [08:10] Frogzoo: Frogzoo ok, how do I get to take changes there? [08:10] n00bier: I guess I'd have to see it. [08:11] ubuntu__: you google "ubuntu boot screen" [08:11] puff, try installing opera to see if you have same kind of issues [08:11] cedriczg: er, I haven't been able to get any video to install. [08:11] Creative SB X-Fi Extreme Audio if it makes a difference karsten [08:11] karsten, yeah.. i just think its weird since my older, slower netbook, didnt do it as often as this one [08:11] DaSkreech: Um, you're installing some sort of Createive Blaster/Soundblaster driver?

[08:13] cedriczg: Odd,sudo aptitude search opera --> no matches. [08:13] annimar, ok [08:13] cedriczg: Oh, I was thinking of konquerer, which I've installed from apt before. [08:14] OpenPsycho: You mean, the dialog works for you? [08:14] annimar, i am checking please wait. [08:14] cedriczg: Still, do you think opera might work? [08:14] puff, it's in non-free repositories [08:15] omfg a .deb for adobe flash. i am shocked!!! [08:15] puff, you don't lose anything to try and it's a very good web browser [08:15] cedriczg: Isit in a custom repo? [08:15] cedriczg, System > Administration > Login Window ? [08:15] cedriczg: I have universe, multiverse, etc, enabled. [08:15] annimar, yes it crashed! [08:15] bofh80, yes. I went there. But after setting it it wont appear [08:15] bofh80, can you try and let me know? [08:16] annimar sweet you arent crazy!!! hehe [08:16] puff, try non-free as well [08:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/61397/ [08:16] OpenPsycho: Can you add to the bug report that this affects you too, or don't you have a launchpad account? [08:16] cedriczg, you are setting it on the Local display and not he remote yes? [08:16] :) [08:16] maxxist: Can't say what a relief that is. ;-) [08:16] puff, http://packages.medibuntu.org/ [08:16] wait i will create one right away [08:16] annimar i bet!! [08:16] puff, not sure if it's in those repos [08:17] please correct me. rsync /media/Data/ sarthor@192.168.100.105:\e$ what is the syntax to write the Windows Drives , with "/" or "\"??? [08:17] puff, try to add it to your repository sources [08:17] annimar, can the error log be pasted? [08:17] puff, under system > administration [08:17] bofh80, that's right [08:18] OpenPsycho: Of course it can be, but I couldn't find any crash log. [08:18] bofh80, the strange thing is that I can see it with other themes for login screen [08:18] i got alot of crash log! [08:18] annimar I hope it gets fixed soon then. Abiword is an awesome word processor. [08:18] can i dump it on ur messenger window ? [08:18] yea maxxist it is! [08:18] maxxist: I hope they fix it before 8.10 final [08:18] hi all, any help with this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/61404/ ? [08:18] annimar, can i dump the logs in ur messenger window ? [08:18] bofh80, for example I can see it using debian greeter [08:19] OpenPsycho: You can dump it as a comment to the bug report if you like [08:19] ok sure [08:19] bofh80, but whn trying out with 'Human' no message appears... [08:19] does anyone know if switching between gnome, xfce, and KDE really make a difference in battery life on a laptop? [08:20] annimar, did u try running it from the console? [08:20] s/it/abiword/g [08:20] Woody86, I think it may depend on processor consumption [08:20] woody86 i dont know but now i want to...will take days to find out [08:20] OpenPsycho: no, not yet. Right now I'm at work and can't check on it. [08:21] ok [08:21] annimar, i tried running it from console...and there are these logs...posting it! [08:21] Woody i would say yes. but its an uneducated guess. it makes sense that it would use less cpu cycles for a simpler gui. and therefor use less power???? [08:21] OpenPsycho: Thanks! That would be a great addition to the bug report [08:21] cedriczg - well, just running a web browser usually [08:21] Woody86, But I don't think it would do much difference. Have you found any? [08:22] Woody86 i think that would esspecially make sense with a newer scaling processor [08:22] Puppy: any luck? [08:22] ok! [08:22] annimar, my pleasure:0 [08:22] :) [08:22] Anyone familiar with installing from source ? [08:22] mattsqz - I know, I have an 8 hour battery life in Ubuntu, so it would probably take a couple days to find out :( [08:22] DaSkreech, what program are you trying to install? [08:23] cedriczg: Driver [08:23] i can't turn on/off my wireless chip, does anyone know where i can configure the key binding?

[08:25] koshari - i have an fujitsu siemens amilo pro v8210 [08:25] maxxist; What do you suggest my solution is [08:25] I know on my old battery KDE would slow down when the battery gets low [08:25] misl hehe. do you know for sure your nvidia driver is installed? [08:25] yeah sure [08:25] what could be the name of the module? [08:25] killyour1v have you searched linux laptops to see ifanyone else has got it working? [08:25] mattsqz - Yeah, before I replaced my battery I was getting 10min before it would die === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [08:27] maxxist - it is very nice, I can charge it overnight, and use it all day without any problems :) It doesn't get too warm, but my fan runs quite a bit [08:27] misl have you tried manually adding the resolutions to your xorg.conf? [08:27] charge fully unplug your charger then let it die > then charge it to full without running your laptop .. usualy works [08:27] i get about 30-45min nowadays..i just got this dell and frankensteined it into decency with parts, havent had it up long enough to test battery life [08:27] killyour1v for example i have an acer TM which needs the acerhk package for the wifi and BT functions to turn off and on [08:27] how do i do that [08:27] it worked in an older version of ubuntu...i've been able to control the volume either...all this is not working in 8.04.. [08:27] cedriczg: Anything that looks funny as to why it would die? [08:27] bofh80, did you find what I was talking about? [08:27] killyour1v ok well you can prolly disregard my advice [08:27] koshari : thanks for that hint... i will ask google of any modules [08:28] DaSkreech, I was checking. Couldn't find yet any packages you may be missing. [08:28] misl well you need to check it out first. look at the file itself. its /etc/X11/xorg.conf view and and read on how to properly edit it. [08:28] OpenPsycho: Did you already add your comment to the bug report? [08:28] misl its actually not too hard. [08:28] brb [08:28] annimar, no i am adding it please wait. [08:28] killyour1v if you still have an earlier live disc it worked with you could lsmod and see what modules are loaded in relation to it [08:28] DaSkreech, did you check this: *** Please make sure that the same compiler version was used for building kernel. [08:28] misl let me find you a link that might help to understand it. [08:30] maxxist: how do i open the file, i am in the directory [08:30] annimar, you are using the updated kernel is it? [08:30] I'm trying to setup a Wireless Access-Point from my Ubuntu box. I have got a DHCP-server running. Can someone help me set up NAT/MASQ/etc?

[08:31] cedriczg: added medibuntu repo, got the key, updated, still get nothing from "sudo aptitude search opera" [08:31] OpenPsycho: yes, intrepid with all the latest updates [08:31] misl "gedit xorg.conf" will open it in read only mode. [08:31] if you want to edit it you will need to "sudo gedit xorg.conf" [08:31] OpenPsycho: This seems to be a high level problem. [08:31] koshari : thx for your help...i try to figure out which version worked...and i need to get an old live cd ;) === Ohmu_wtf_ is now known as Ohmu [08:32] How can I get Amarok to play M4a format and correctly display/read id3v2 tags?

[08:33] Where do I list the actual plugins, etc, in firefox, to see if firefox thinks flash is installed? [08:33] puff about:plugins [08:33] maxxist - does that still have that annoying X logo?

[08:34] maxxist: what about me pasting the entire parameters in the file to you adn you analysing it for me [08:34] maxxist - that's actually the reason I got rid of it :) [08:34] J-_: so you are trying to resolve names for the nameserver itself [08:34] J-_: while your machine doesn't know where to resolve names. dog bites its tail [08:35] misl look down into the screen section.

[08:53] the b43 driver limits the BCM4318 wireless chip to 11Mb [08:53] mike_ dont try this now. but if X is ever broken. use CTRL-SHIFT-Backspace. it restarts X without restarting your computer === cO_Co is now known as gds_lumut [08:54] yes I used wubi - whenever windows would crash it would wreck it around every 3 weeks so I did a hard drive install [08:54] yes I have used that :) [08:54] oh my :) [08:54] wubi wouldnt work for me but this hard drive installation works great [08:55] wubi is just a CoLinux thing isn't it?

There must have been more people experiencing this bug. :-/ [08:55] !codecs | Puppy [08:55] Puppy: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [08:55] france [08:56] comment on va dans le resau france [08:56] well I dont have xp paid for vista it is slower on network transfers and by 30 to 40 % till the fix [08:56] joaopinto - yeah i think will be easyer to load them once i got the ubuntu on the net [08:56] mike_, and other tip is you can get just terminal log (you can try now) by pressing ctrl + alt + F1 (to F6) and back to graphic interface with F7 [08:56] I have got everything I need running in ubuntu so I dont need windows any more [08:57] ok that sounds interesting [08:57] mike_, I mean back with ctrl + alt + F7 [08:57] can someone suggest a really light and simple audio player? that will play streams too? [08:58] ive installed ndiswrapper-1.53 and ive gone through the setup, and ive installed the windows driver, but its still not showinf as wlan0, any idea why ?

[09:03] Puppy, you just need to install grub on your primary hard disk, and set it as the boot device on your bios [09:03] maxxist, don't know if it supports streams [09:03] and make sure the grub has the entries for the OSes that you need [09:03] joaopinto im sure that sounds easy to you lol [09:03] morning is there anybody who knows how to convert local ip adresses to A6 records for the DNS config in Bind [09:04] Puppy, that is a standard ubuntu install, installing the mbr into the firts disk [09:04] joaopinto - either cn be the primary drive, its no matter, how to i edit grub to pick up windows [09:04] WIGGMPk, you've got a bad filesystem there, looks like [09:04] Puppy, grub picks windows by default, at least during the install phase [09:04] maxxist, http://chistera.yi.org/~adeodato/code/minirok/ [09:04] i had the hd disconected durign install [09:04] Where would I find someone to talk to about the lack of a definition of RES_USE_DNSSEC in /usr/include/resolv.h? [09:05] J_Man: please tell me this is fixable? [09:05] MAYBE you could boot with the livecd and run fsck on the partition [09:05] other than that, no probably not [09:05] cedriczg needs kde though. i am trying to keep the system light. good try [09:06] J_Man: =( a shed of light is all I need, how does this happen? last night I was burning a movie onto a dvd and then went to bed. Today its f'ed [09:06] maxxist, cedriczg, Perhaps Audacious. If that one still exists. [09:06] how to send vide-oout command from terminal? or is it a change in xorg.conf? [09:06] J_Man: must I use "sudo" with the fsck command? [09:06] maxxist, Audacious [09:07] lol [09:07] yes, it needs root privledges [09:07] maxxist, that's the other I just found [09:07] \join #poky [09:07] sorry [09:07] maxxist, yes I found it on repositories [09:07] also need to pass it the partition designation of your filesystem [09:07] cedriczg, that one used to be a good light one anyways :) [09:07] joaopinto - can i not add a record to the Win MBR to pick up grub on the other drive ? [09:07] WIGGMPk, i.e. fsck /dev/hda1 (or whatever) [09:07] cedriczg dextorion lmao [09:08] J_Man: i found this post online that says to try "fsck -f" what is the -f option? [09:08] joaopinto: thanks for the info. i was caught out by booting without gfx, and having to wait for a 500mb disk to check. now i have a gfx boot so then i'll leave it as is. if i need to i can always escape.... [09:08] ummm hello [09:08] wow [09:08] this is cool [09:08] Puppy, well, for windows is not the MBR, you would need to setup on the windows boot manager, I dont know if/how that can be done [09:08] maxxist, lol if you go here http://www.audacious-media-player.org/ you will get a really simple page... [09:08] hello floyd [09:08] audacious rocks! :) [09:08] :-) [09:08] im happy i found this [09:08] pleasure to be with ya guys [09:08] joaopinto - both OS were installed completly seperate, 2 dif HD's neither were present when the other was installed... was this a mistake ? [09:09] floyd: welcome, and prepare for the flood [09:09] it's hard to keep up in here [09:09] !hello | floyd [09:09] floyd: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [09:09] lol [09:09] cedriczg It Works!! [09:09] yeah [09:09] * J_Man glares at ubottu "Stupid bots" [09:09] utils version is too old! [09:09] hey so what do u guys use to burn dvds in ubuntu ive wondered that since day one [09:09] can i solve this without being online [09:09] lol [09:09] cdrecord [09:09] maxxist, I just installed it ;) [09:09] Puppy, it was not a mistake, it will just give you more work now to setup grub [09:10] if you want a GUI, you can apt-get install k3b, or Brasero if you prefer GTK stuff [09:10] cedriczg diddo [09:10] joaopinto - well ill put that on the " to-do " list behind getting ubuntu online [09:10] lol [09:10] Puppy: you can actually take a copy of the bootsector from the second disk, put it on the windows disk and use boot.ini to boot the second disk [09:10] cedriczg supports winamp2 skins [09:10] floyd goneBaker [09:10] dulak can you explain that using windisk and ubudisk [09:10] lol [09:10] floyd, brasero [09:10] Puppy: the windows boot loader can load a boot sector from a file [09:11] so throw a line in boot.ini pointing to the other drive ? [09:11] Puppy: http://www.linux.com/feature/113945 [09:11] maxxist, right I think I had used it before now that I remember... [09:11] thank you very much guys [09:11] i dearly aprecaite it [09:11] Puppy: unfortunately the windows boot loader sucks balls and can't do that directly but you can fake it === Cow_CaKep_MuPenG is now known as PANGERAN_KESOREA [09:11] okay so i could find brasero [09:11] in the add/remove [09:12] but gonebaker failed to appear when i searched for it [09:12] dublpaws lol, lemmi read this [09:12] gnomebaker [09:12] !info gonebaker [09:12] floyd, it's "gnomebaker" [09:12] Package gonebaker does not exist in hardy [09:12] !info gnomebaker [09:12] cedriczg looks nice [09:12] gnomebaker (source: gnomebaker): application for CD/DVD creation in the GNOME desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.2-3ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 989 kB, installed size 2968 kB [09:12] ahhh [09:12] thx [09:12] maxxist, yep [09:12] floyd: sudo apt-get install gnomebaker is how i would install it [09:12] maxxist, Can you do me a favor? [09:13] can try [09:13] maxxist, are you using ubuntu hardy or similar now? [09:13] xubuntu-restricted-extras meta package just borken my system [09:13] hardy xubunut [09:13] hi all [09:13] is there an backport for openoffice 3 for hardy? [09:14] if I have an nvidia card and I want to enable that neato torpedo 3d cube desktop, what do I need to do other than install the neccesary Nvidia drivers?> [09:14] floyd, my bad. GnomeBaker. But brasero would probably be a better one nowdays. [09:14] dulak - c:\bootsect.lnx="Linux" - how do i know what drive windows sees the linux drive as, as windows does not detect it [09:14] Guys I would like to create Relation Diagram from database I have. If you know what I mean. Is there any program on this? [09:14] Puppy: read the whole article, you make a file that is a copy of the boot sector from the second drive and put it on the first drive, faking the boot loader from windows into booting the second disk [09:14] dulak do you knwo anythign about ndiswrapper [09:15] K-O-D, you just need to make sure in enable the nvidia driver in System>Administration>Hardware then install compiz-settings-manager [09:15] dulak - yeah im dling the software nowe [09:15] WTF!!!! damn restricted-extras. broke my xubuntu [09:15] Puppy: I know a little about ndiswrapper [09:15] What in kubuntu manages the screen brightness controls under KDE? [09:15] floyd@floyd-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install gnomebaker [09:15] [sudo] password for floyd: [09:15] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[09:15] floyd@floyd-laptop:~$ [09:15] wow, thats amazing, and does Ubuntu use the latest nvidia drivers with the built in driver manager or should i download the latest myself? [09:16] ... or is that hardware? [09:16] gnome baker [09:16] hi there, anyone got any ideas how I can upload a file to ftp(filename will contain current date - so it will change) via a cronjob, if its possible? [09:16] okay [09:16] i gotcha! [09:16] ill just stick with brasero [09:16] thanks guys [09:16] u rock [09:16] floyd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:16] i shall not [09:16] hehe [09:16] <_luser> advowork - try scp instead? [09:16] K-O-D, ubuntu uses a fairly up to date nvidia driver [09:17] hello when i start up ubuntu it stops at starting powernowd whats the problem and how do i fix it? [09:17] AdvoWork: scripting ftp is a real pain in the ass, scp with a key is the way to go if you have ssh access [09:17] _luser i use winscp manually, but im looking for something automatically, or isnt that what you mean? [09:17] maxxist, Can you try something out if you are using ubuntu now? [09:17] bye all [09:17] dulak brb testign this [09:17] to install the compiz-settings manager just do sudo "apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" [09:17] exit [09:17] thank you aaron [09:18] AdvoWork: if you stick with ftp, man netrc [09:18] np K-O-D [09:18] cedriczg give me 2 minutes. sun-java broke my dependencies. fixing. [09:18] if I've only got 2g ram on my system, is there any benefit to running 64 bit ubuntu? [09:18] maxxist, ok. good luck [09:19] K-O-D, yes, because you will be able to utilize the full potential of your hardware [09:19] K-O-D: nope, not really [09:19] K-O-D: perhaps some theoretical advantage.. nothing noticable if you ask me [09:19] cedriczg what would you like me to try? [09:20] well, that certainly settles things :D [09:20] I didn't notice any difference from 32 bit to 64 bit myself [09:20] the only point of the 64bit archetecture is that 32bit maxed out a 3.8 gigs of ram where as 64 maxes somewhere arouns10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000gig' [09:21] How can I get Amarok to play M4a format and correctly display/read id3v2 tags? [09:21] mikel, That's not true. [09:21] not exactly but closly similar lol [09:21] mikel, amd64 arch has additional 64bit registers available. [09:21] 64bit cpu can use 64 long instruction sets [09:21] mikel, are you sure about that? I know thats true for windows [09:21] anyone ever get this error message when trying to install your ubuntu updates E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [09:21] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [09:21] I need some help to get my DvD menues to work, i have tried what i think is everything =) [09:21] ill go w 64 bit, my only problem was FMS and i guess the new version runs on 64 linux now [09:21] what wrzaskd_ said [09:21] this worked :) scp -r localfile.txt username@192.168.0.1:/home/username/ but the only thing is, it asked me for a password, so its not automatic, any suggestions please? [09:21] K-O-D: I ran both a 32 and 64Bit Ubuntu on my laptop and with the 64Bit version, my fan stayed silent a little longer [09:21] floyd: so run dpkg --configure -a [09:22] AdvoWork: you need to create a key that it will use instead of a password [09:22] in the terminal??? [09:22] wow techno - now THATS a serious system boost! [09:22] floyd: yes [09:22] mikel, It's especially important for things like databases, which make a lot of int calculations. [09:22] cool [09:22] thx [09:22] anywhoo do i need to re ask or am i just wait? [09:22] dulak how do you do that? ;/ [09:22] OpenPsycho, maxxist, the bug is triaged now.

[09:23] oh ill reask theb [09:23] then [09:23] floyd: it's telling you you need to use sudo [09:23] okay [09:23] Arvan: do you have libdvdcss2 installed? [09:23] where is sudo [09:23] when i boot up ubuntu it stops at loading powernowd and never goes further what do i do? [09:23] rogan, i think so, im not sure :S [09:23] for some reason my crt (the one I use for linux) reports the wrong EDID info, I need to manually set my monitor refresh rates [09:23] floyd: sudo dpkg --configure -a [09:23] Arvan: check :) [09:24] AdvoWork: on the client run as the user you are transferring as: ssh-keygen -b 1024 -N '' [09:24] floyd sudo dpkg --configure -a [09:24] ah Frogzoo beat me too it [09:24] worked [09:24] thanks man [09:24] Hello :D [09:24] ;-) [09:24] hey how do i mount a windows drive [09:24] instantly [09:24] annimar nice job man. any idea what the dependancy issue is?

But not on human theme. I just wanted to be sure it's not me [09:27] aaron:sometimes [09:27] AdvoWork: no they would have to have access to copy their key to the server, there is a second step here [09:27] rogan, Il try to install both, Then il come back to ya =) thanx for helping [09:27] dulak so after ive done that theres something else?

[09:29] AdvoWork: my bad, been a while: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 1024 -N '' [09:29] cedriczg but i have used the greeting changer before. and it worked for me. mind you that was in 7.10 [09:29] maxxist, k. then no luck. I will have to ask somone else. Thanks anyway [09:29] Aggr! === Vincent is now known as Guest88874 [09:29] mount –t ntfs umask=0222 /dev/sda1 /mnt [09:29] what's wrong with that? [09:29] or this mount –t ntfs –o umask=0222 /dev/sda1 /mnt [09:30] dulak ive done that, it says: Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa): shall i just use the same file it says? [09:30] maxxist, It has added changed the greeting message only for some of the themes. Don't know why Human theme does not show the welcome message. [09:30] aaron: what is power nowd?

[09:31] Dextorion, yes [09:31] it is [09:31] <_luser> joint - you've got non-ascii characters in those lines [09:31] Joint_ sudo apt-get install ntfs-config [09:31] dulak that worked, you say scp it over to the server, where on the server does it need to go? [09:31] cedriczg i think that the codecs didnt get installed when java broke synaptic. [09:31] maxxist, you mean using play location? [09:31] Dextorion, done? [09:31] now what Dextorion [09:32] hi [09:32] Joint_ applications->system tools->ntfs configuration [09:32] AdvoWork: scp the file .ssh/id_rsa.pub to the server, anywhere, then login to the server and run "cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys" [09:32] maxxist, then try sudo apt-get install --fix-broken (if I am right) [09:32] cedriczg actually i fixed that already. [09:32] Joint_ check boxes or something. and that should do it. [09:33] how do i install the nvidia 177 drivers from command? [09:33] Dextorion, how do you mount it with command though so i can learn? [09:33] maxxist, what stream did you try and how?

[09:34] cedriczg it loaded the file. but then it crashed when it tried to play it. [09:34] aaron: do you know how to install nvidia 177 from command? [09:34] Arvan: that do it? [09:34] how big should i make the swap partition on a 64 bit ubuntu system with 2g ram? [09:34] Jacktop wait 10 days for the non beta to be released and it will appear on your update manager. [09:34] I was thinking 2g but I was thinking 4g might be better [09:34] rogan, im on it right now..just had to find something to check with =) [09:35] K-O-D: 2g is plenty [09:35] JackTop then you wont have to worry about running a beta [09:35] dulak done most of that now, but: cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys -bash: .ssh/authorized_keys: No such file or directory [09:35] AdvoWork: you're in the home directory on the server?

[09:48] ikonia: any way I was trying to setup an openafs cluster but in vain [09:48] but during installation it says i dont have some stuff needed to build a kernal [09:48] tdawgedogg please take it to #debian [09:48] AdvoWork: that will copy any files, as many as match the wildcard [09:48] tdawgedogg please stop, and take it to #debian [09:48] ahhh tdawg you need to install build-essential I believe [09:48] apt-get install build-essential [09:48] scuser the error message appears to suggest an instance is running, but I need to read more [09:48] guys is there any program which could create relation diagram from mysql database? [09:48] K-O-D: this is not debian support, your welcome to support him in private or in #debian [09:49] ? [09:49] dulak cool!! thankyou! [09:49] ikonia: have a look http://paste.ubuntu.com/61419/ [09:49] j ubuntu-server [09:49] rajec I'm aware of some applications for the windows platform, but not on linux that I'm aware of [09:49] nah no thanks. tdawgedogg you are on your own. [09:49] if i were to support anything, it'd be ditching debian and moving to ubuntu [09:50] how do I convert a dvd to iphone format? [09:50] tdawgedogg, and perhaps the kernel headers? [09:51] Dextorion: this is not debian support [09:51] tdawgedogg: please take it to #debian [09:51] ikonia? [09:51] So, how to mess with your LCD brightness on a Lenove T61: for f in $( find . -name brightness ); do echo ">>>> $f <<<"; echo -n 20 > $f; sleep 1; echo -n 100 > $f; sleep 1; don [09:51] Dextorion: the user is running debian [09:51] ikonia, oh, alright. [09:51] As root. It'll show you which of the various acpi brightness files actually controls what you want. [09:52] karsten: who are you talking to ? [09:52] ikonia, well... the problem is kind of a general one, no? [09:52] * karsten basks in his shiny bright screen. [09:52] Dextorion: no [09:52] AdvoWork: just as an aside, it's bad to allow direct ssh as root on your server, you should really use a normal user and either sudo commands or use su - to get root access [09:52] ikonia, alright. i dont agree [09:52] is it possible to use intrepid backports for openoffice in hardy [09:53] dulak ahhh ok [09:53] tdawgedogg, feel free to pm me if you get more problems. [09:53] phimic as intrepid is not stable, I'd be surprised if there was back ports [09:53] Dextorion: perfect, thank you [09:53] ikonia, no problem :) [09:53] ikonia: The channel. Sharing wisdom. [09:53] dulak you know you were saying about: scp -r OurBackup* username@192.168.0.1:/home/username/ can i use a script or something to actually specify the name of the file? ie instead of ourbackup* it'd be "ourbackup " + todaysdate(in a certain format) ? [09:54] ikonia: https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive [09:54] karsten: it's a support channel, no one was asking about it, maybe better to post it on the forum so that it's "logged" or "stuck" so that people can search on it [09:54] AdvoWork: yes you can get a date in format, sec [09:54] phimic they are PPA's for the 8.10 target [09:55] phimic see the big wawrning at the top "OpenOffice.org 3.0.0 - INTREPID ONLY" [09:55] ikonia: Where? [09:55] karsten www.ubuntuforums.org [09:55] ikonia: I figure there's regulars here. I'm usually in #debian. Maybe add it as a factoid to a bot or something. [09:55] karsten: makes it more searchable rather than scroll of screen and be forgotten [09:55] ikonia: Dig. [09:56] Hi all - I have an install that is failing due to a hash mismatch for a .deb on the CD. Can I reconfigure the installer to use the network as a package source without needing to reboot/change anything? (I'm looking at /target/etc/apt/sources.list wondering if that is the config file for the installer) [09:56] puppy: hey that site dident say anywhere on it how to install the nvidia drivers form command ...which is what i asked [09:56] (Sorry, by 'change anything' I was thinking of the CD I'm using to install) [09:56] people i need the c language libraries what should i download ? [09:57] Jonny you can change /etc/apt/srouces.lst to use the net, but as the cD is read only you can't make any perminant changes [09:57] chamuscas: which c libraries ? [09:57] string.h [09:57] chamuscas: thats a header [09:57] ikonia, that file doesn't exist in the install environment. I'm doing a text install. [09:57] AdvoWork: OurBackup\ `date +%d-%m-%Y`* [09:57] AdvoWork: try that [09:57] ok and what's that an header ? [09:57] Jonny really, that file should exist, are you %100 certain [09:57] chamuscas yes, thats a header [09:58] ikoni, but what is it ? [09:58] a header file [09:58] chamuscas: what are you trying to do ? [09:58] ikonia in the install environment it doesn't, I am 100% certain :) [09:58] to use strcmp function [09:58] ikonia, strcmp function [09:59] i have to go sry, later [09:59] I need some help setting up telnet - I am following the quick tutorial on http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-a-telnet-server-in-ubuntu.html, but this command doesn't work after I install telnetd: sudo /etc/init.d/inetd restart [09:59] Jonny I can't see hoa dpkg would be able to install the packages then on the isntall routine [10:00] Ishnu-: doesn't it use xinetd - not inetd [10:00] Ok, I will try that [10:00] Ishnu-: is there a script in /etc/init.d/ called inetd [10:00] that tutorial is old as hell [10:00] umm [10:00] No there isn't [10:00] But there is a inetutils-inetd [10:01] when is 8.10 released? [10:01] Ishnu- I'd ignore that guide - it looks a bit rubbish to be honest [10:01] Ishnu-: a lot of people have issues with that site [10:01] juanej 30 october [10:01] thx [10:02] ikonia, I'll have a play. It uses a chroot at /target which includes the standard apt configuration, I can only guess it's using that [10:02] 30 october eh? That's a pretty good birthday present for me [10:02] Jonny sorry, I should have been clear /etc within the target environment [10:02] aaah :) [10:02] hi, can I upgrade ubuntu 8.04 with Kubuntu 8.10 live cd? does kubuntu 8.10 live CD I received from shipit uses kde4?? [10:03] Jonny: I didn't mean /etc on the actual running OS / CD [10:03] ikonia, right. Well in that case /etc/apt/* does exist ;) That's the file I'm playing with now [10:03] !ibex > Brian88 === ntinos__ is now known as ntinos_ [10:03] Jonny: good man [10:03] ikonia - if that guide is rubbish? What should I do? A google search hasn't shown up with anything much else [10:03] that ubuntugeek.com guy is a dbag [10:03] dulak easy - don't need that comment, but I agreee the guides are poor [10:04] ikonia: ??? [10:04] ikonia: what does you want to say?? [10:04] anyone from the UK here ? [10:04] Brian88 sorry , the bots died [10:04] Brian88: 8.10 support is in #ubuntu+1 [10:04] Puppy: yes, why ? [10:05] dulak i tried: scp -r SageBack\ `date +%d-%m-%Y`* and it said: SageBack 23-10-2008*: No such file or directory the two filenames are: SageBack 21-10-2008.001 SageBack 22-10-2008.001 [10:05] AdvoWork: they are not today's date [10:06] AdvoWork: What I gave you was for today's date [10:06] dulak ahh yea [10:06] let me check [10:06] Ishnu-: I'll telp you [10:06] Ishnu-: what inet service ar eyou using, inetd or xinetd ? [10:06] ikonia, I get 'a non-dpkg owned version of this package is installed' (and so on)... [10:07] Jonny Hmmm where did you changed teh sources.list to point ? [10:07] ikonia, that's for libc6, dpkg insists it's unsafe to upgrade/install the c library 'in this situation' [10:07] I feel bad for puppy, he has to fully reboot into ubuntu to try everything I have him try to get ndiswrapper working [10:07] ikonia, at gb.archive.ubuntu.com (I left the cdrom: url in there), and then did apt-get update (within the target environment) [10:07] rogan, darn! It works fine on a dvd that is on a disk, not if played from harddrive [10:08] Jonny: did you remove the cd line at the top of sources.list === Ohmu_wtf_ is now known as Ohmu [10:08] ikonia: What do you mean? [10:08] Ishnu-: are you plannign to use inetd or xinetd as a launcher for the telnet daemon [10:08] Arvan: hm [10:08] I am not sure what they are [10:08] dulak that works, in a bash script, can i do: sageFileName="SageBack\ `date +%d-%m-%Y`*" so i can specify scp - $sageFileName ? [10:08] Jonny: did you also do an apt-get update to re-parse the source [10:08] Which one should I use? [10:08] ikonia, ah no - that'd be required? I'll reboot and try again. I only change the sources.list once it complains about this particular package install failing [10:08] ikonia, yeah I did an update [10:09] Arvan: funo how to fix that one :( [10:09] AdvoWork: probably, you'd have to test it [10:09] !dvd [10:09] yo yo yo [10:09] Jonny remove teh cdrom line, thats certainly worth doing [10:09] AdvoWork: I'm real rusty with bash, I'm a php/perl guy [10:09] i am unable to mount my thumb drive can someone help me to mount it [10:09] Sure! [10:09] rogan, it works for you with menues when you play from harddrive? [10:09] sushanth: sudo fdisk -l [10:09] Ishnu-: what version of ubuntu are you using/ [10:09] * Wobert looks around [10:09] sushanth: that will show its device name [10:09] The latest [10:09] 8.04 [10:10] ikonia, rgr. [10:10] sushanth: Go to this site: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mounting-windows-partition-onto-ubuntu-linux/ [10:10] Ishnu-: do an apt-cache search xinetd - is there anything int he repos [10:10] Arvan: did you burn a iso ? [10:10] The command at the bottom should help [10:10] hi when i boot on fresh install i get ee no screens found how can i fix this? [10:10] yes, and that worked..The thing is that i do not burn so much stuff, i rather play it direktly [10:11] I understand [10:11] mikel: boot recover mode from grub (esc at boot) and choose recover xorg or fix x server [10:11] mikel: i forget the exact wording [10:11] Hi guys can anyone help me on this : http://pastebin.ca/1234526 [10:12] Arvan: I do that too, I just use xbmc for ubuntu, it will read damn near every format of video I've ever found, and it will read isos and videos inside rar files [10:12] Arvan: may have to ask someone else about that [10:12] Wobert therei s no problem [10:12] ikonia: Here is the output [10:12] sudo apt-cache search ipod [10:12] oops [10:12] xinetd - replacement for inetd with many enhancements [10:12] rlinetd - gruesomely over-featured inetd replacement [10:12] ikonia: the newest version of ubuntu is 7.01 ?

I tried with VLC and with Mplayer so far..The movie plays, but i can choose subs or stuff like that [10:13] Ok done [10:13] Ishnu- now do you have an /etc/xinetd.d directory ? [10:13] Arvan: I don't know anything about subs, but xbmc rocks for downloaded video [10:13] actionparnship: its a fresh install so recovering only gives me the same error....hold on im reading a post that might help [10:14] Yes I do, ikonia [10:14] ikonia: ActionParsnip - I want to upgrade my system to 8.04 [10:14] Ishnu- what's in it (summerise) [10:14] !upgrade | Wobert [10:14] Wobert thats not how you upgrade [10:14] ActionParsnip: the bot's dead [10:14] crap [10:14] ubottu died [10:14] Wobert http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [10:14] the sub part is not the big issue since i prefer without, the thing is with dvds that requiers you to by the menue change chapters or parts.

You're my referrer ;-) [10:17] WIGGMPk are you using dmraid within lvm [10:17] karsten: thank you [10:17] ActionParsnip: that's also the package name...? what's your point? :) [10:17] WIGGMPk or just lvm device mapper [10:17] les: just pointing out its not a standard command unlike in windows [10:17] ikonia: im not sure I follow you. im not very savvy with Ubuntu or LVM yet [10:18] ikonia: , ActionParsnip - > http://www.buckie.dk/images/Screenshot2.png [10:18] WIGGMPk ok - have you ever mounted /dev/luggs-mbl/root before [10:18] how can i see the source of the airprime driver in my kernel ? [10:18] ikonia, same error again. It get's it when trying to install libc6. [10:18] Wobert read the log file [10:18] dulak, im on it..Lets se if i can get this sucker runin [10:18] ikonia: never manually [10:18] hey people. My usplash doesn't work properly anymore. [10:18] Jonny even when it's forced to go to the net for the package [10:18] what happend to ubottu? poor thing [10:19] I get the orange bar moving from left to right, but nut the normal progressbar afterwards [10:19] WIGGMPk: has dev/luggs-mbl/root ever been mounted at all [10:19] Wobert: how about sudo appt-get clean first to empty out and old debs laying around [10:19] it just displays the normal text bootup [10:19] Arvan: they have a hardy repo so you can apt-get install it [10:19] ikonia, yeah. I did an apt-get clean to try to clean the cache... I'm not sure if it actually did or not. [10:19] the same when I shut down [10:19] Jonny can't explain that [10:19] I installed kubuntu-desktop a while ago, but changed the usplash theme back to the ubuntu one (with update-alternatives) [10:19] ikonia: yes, before I got error's booting "group descriptors corrupted" then it failed. I usually see it as "/dev/mapper/luggs--mbl-root" [10:19] dulak, im sort of new to this linux thing =) but i get the point atleast. [10:20] Hey guys [10:20] ActionParsnip: im trying that out [10:20] I don't know if the usplash problem exists since then, I already have it for a while [10:20] Is it possible to run sshd not as a daemon? [10:20] dolfoffline: does you're kernel option say quiet? [10:20] ikonia, yeah. Think the CD is damaged, but I have no more CDRs I can burn to [10:20] WIGGMPk out of interst what happens if you fsk dev/luggs-mbl/root [10:20] And change the port it runs on with a switch? [10:20] WIGGMPk it looks like the file system is corrupted [10:20] ActionParsnip: I'll check [10:20] joshhunt: it has a debug mode where it won't fork to the background [10:20] Jonny what a drag, but you should be overriding that by going to the net [10:20] oh [10:21] dulak: Excellent. How can i do that? [10:21] ikonia: not sure yet, but I might have to find and hug you [10:21] ActionParsnip: both the defoptions and the individual kernels say "quiet" [10:21] WIGGMPk let me know what fsck says [10:21] ikonia, yeah... I don't get this 'non-dpkg-owned' message. The actual file owner is root for everything here, so it sounds almost like it's doing some other tracking somewhere. It has me stumped anyway. [10:21] joshhunt: /usr/sbin/sshd -d [10:21] Jonny I've never seen that [10:21] joshhunt: you can set the port with -p [10:21] ikonia: ive tried previously running "fsck /dev/sda2" but cause it was LVM i really couldnt do that. and im a n00b to say the least === Raymond_CN is now known as Raymond_CN_away [10:22] WIGGMPk no no, never do that, sda is in your lvm is it no ? [10:22] dolfoffline: hmmm, id check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplash and make sure its all set right [10:22] ActionParsnip: oh my god - that sudo appt-get clean - seems to have fixed the problem, thx m8 [10:22] WIGGMPk run it agaisnt /dev/luggs-mbl/root [10:22] I'm befuzzled. /etc/init.d/networking restart worked. Now I edited a couple of config files. And it doesn't. I removed the edits. It still doesn't work! This is so wrong! [10:22] ive had a look at the ubuntu webby about it, it lists many programs.. what do you guys recommend for a mailserver, its only small for the homenetwork. [10:23] ikonia: aye, it failed when I did it anyway lol. It is currently showing this: "Inode 1999643, i_blocks is 716984, should be 716760. Fix? " thats after "Pass 1: checking inodes, blocks, and sizes [10:23] Wobert: i run it every time i install stuff, gets rid of the clutter. its great for dialup to store old debs but for broadband its kinda moot [10:23] dulak, i enterd the lines of code that i found on the website..The response was "command not found" i probably did it all wrong but im a big noob as i told you =) [10:23] nnull are you on a dhcp connection [10:23] nnull: postfix, it's pretty easy to configure compared to most of them [10:23] ikonia¬ yea [10:23] WIGGMPk ok, so you do have corruption [10:23] ActionParsnip, i am new to ubuntu the pen drive works fine on other ubuntu except my laptop [10:23] ActionParsnip: I already found that one :) [10:23] thanks [10:23] sushanth: ok where are you trying to mount it to? [10:23] ikonia: id imagine I want to select "y" for this right hahaha [10:23] nnull then don't run a mail server as you'll probably be blacklisted [10:23] hi, anybody can help me with a prism54 softmac mini-pci card? I'm getting a problem while loading the eeprom and cannot make it work [10:23] WIGGMPk well thats debatable [10:24] blacklisted from what ikonia ? [10:24] Arvan: the lines of code it gives you are for the repositories, you have to add them to your /etc/apt/sources.list file [10:24] dulak: Thanks [10:24] WIGGMPk you have a risk to try to fix teh file system with fsck [10:24] ActionParsnip: I'll reinstall all the usplash packages [10:24] ikonia¬ this mailserver is to serve on the LAN only. [10:24] nnull isp's/mail rbl lists [10:24] dolfoffline: i dont use splash screens as I find them completely redundant.

[10:24] ikonia: which are usually what ? it doesnt work? i really dont see a downside to my current situation [10:24] ActionParsnip: yeah, but it looks nicer :) And it doesn't deter the windows users which sometimes look over my shoulder [10:24] to/from [10:24] sushanth: just like i do you, makes finding your text easier in the text of 1300 users [10:25] nnull so it's not connected to the internet at all [10:25] nice promotion when you're working in a busy train [10:25] :) [10:25] hiya [10:25] sushanth: are you logged in as root?

[10:31] ikonia: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6017471&postcount=68 FYI [10:31] This is strange. /etc/init.d/networking start works fine. but stop fails. 'Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : (/n) SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported. (/n) Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) : (/n) SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.(/n) I think the lines generating the error are in in /etc/network/interfaces (wireless-mode master and wireless-essid spoink) Any ideas? [10:32] Ohmu: can we see your /etc/network/interface file as well as the output of ifconfig [10:32] wat is the command to view desktop [10:32] Ohmu: use pastebin [10:32] NeMeSiS: startx [10:32] : normal user, not root [10:32] sushanth: just checking [10:33] ikonia: should I run fsck on the swap partition? [10:33] sushanth: ok, run sudo fdisk -l and give me the /deb of the partition you want to mount [10:33] WIGGMPk: No. [10:33] WIGGMPk: swap doesn't have consistency issues. [10:33] hello, I'm having a problem running vmware server 2.0 with ubuntu 8.0.4 hardy [10:33] any takers? (: [10:33] WIGGMPk: It's not a filesystem, it's virtual memory, and it's basically re-done each reboot. [10:33] blackdayz: sure, wassup [10:33] karsten: how does this (the corruption) happen? [10:33] and the the command to open a folder in your home or on the desktop [10:34] WIGGMPk: if you have prolems with swap _during_ system operation, you've got worse issues than filesystem inconsistency. [10:34] NeMeSiS: how do you mean? [10:34] WIGGMPk: What's the corruption issue? [10:34] I gave up on Vmware and used Virtualbox :) [10:34] NeMeSiS: please be more specific [10:34] Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes [10:34] 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders [10:34] Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes [10:34] Disk identifier: 0x11a8ba38 [10:34] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [10:34] /dev/sda1 1 764 6136798+ 12 Compaq diagnostics [10:34] sushanth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:34] lastlog -file foo WIGGMPk [10:34] sushanth: ok, where do you want it mounting to? [10:34] actionparsnip: nope im sitting in a chair with both of my laptops infront of me and can only get wireless [10:34] silson: this is for my ms dir class though, so I have to stick to vmware. I have heard good things though. [10:35] mikel: can you get wired for now, just until you get on your feet? [10:35] i didnt get you [10:35] hi there, im trying to boot into GDM/X without a monitor attached. i keep getting (II) intel(0): Output VGA disconnected (EE) intel(0): No valid modes. is there any way to force my system to ignore the fact theres no vga connected? [10:35] ActionParsnip: I installed vmware, but the vmware server console doesnt show up under applications/system [10:35] sushanth: the folder in /media where you are going to mount to, whats its name? [10:35] yea but how do i set it up without being able to get into ubuntu? [10:35] blackdayz: in terminal type vmware & [10:35] karsten: well last night I was burning a DVD and went to bed, today I booted up my laptop and it said "group descriptors corrupted" and then wouldnt mount the root paritions and such [10:35] blackdayz: include the & [10:35] I think you might get better answers in #vmware [10:35] dulak, i got it =) [10:35] say i got a folder in my home /dir wat is the command to open it [10:35] actionparsnip: yea but how do i set it up without being able to gt into ubuntu [10:36] WIGGMPk: If you look at /var/log/messages or /var/log/kern.log or dmesg, do you see anything indicating disk errors? [10:36] karsten: the command did nothing [10:36] karsten: im currently in the Live CD [10:36] mikel: if eth0 shows up in ifconfig, you will get dhcp [10:36] WIGGMPk: Have you ... OK, so you're rebooted. [10:36] hi, I have some problems removing some oo3 beta packages that show up with dpkg --list | grep -i ooobasis3.0 I always get an error "Couldn't find package", it doesn't allow me to install oo3 final, anyone can help? [10:36] WIGGMPk: Can you mount any of your partitions? [10:36] blackdayz: you can add the item anywhere you please on the menu, it just doesnt make one [10:36] and the command to open a folder on the desktop [10:36] Arvan: let me know how you like it [10:36] ikonia, after a lot of pissing around with dpkg and apt I think I'm getting somewhere... [10:36] karsten: didnt try yet.. [10:36] actionparsnip: k just a sec [10:36] ActionParsnip: Thanks! http://pastebin.ca/1234535 [10:37] ActionParsnip: I did. and it brought up my browser, attempting to run the ssl. but failed. [10:37] karsten: alright now I was able to mount /dev/luggs-mbl/root after completing the fsck [10:37] ActionParsnip: it works under http://127.0.0.1:8222 though [10:37] WIGGMPk: Same drill: Mount whatever it takes to get /var up and checck your system logs. messages and kern.log will be of interest. You might also start seeing disk errors from within the livecd boot, so dmesg may also tell you stuff. [10:37] NeMeSiS: open in what way, to cd to it or to open it in a file manager, and if yuo want to use a file manager...which? You cant just say "open a folder" [10:37] does vmware try to use bridge by default? I think that was the issue I had but it was awhile ago now so I can't remember properly :( [10:37] WIGGMPk: WTF is the luggs-mbl stuff? [10:37] it does use bridge by default. [10:38] blackdayz: theres a gui you can connect to vmware servers with [10:38] nat works better unless you especially need bridge. [10:38] what was the package I needed to install for the pretty cube desktop? [10:38] just to open a folder and view it content [10:38] Ohmu: do you not use wep or wpa? [10:38] karsten: long story, was building a server for a school project and didnt know what to name it (Linux Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon Server) was what I came up with.. the mbl just denotes mobile (laptop) on my network [10:39] K-O-D: beryl, I think. [10:39] silson: you can bridge the network connection [10:39] WIGGMPk: OK. [10:39] ActionParsnip: I don't think I use either. I havent set either up, and I';m not intending to. [10:39] no it was compiz-settings-manager or something [10:39] WIGGMPk: And why is that in /dev? [10:39] ActionParsnip: I got 3 firefox:4879 errors after I typed vmware & [10:39] K-O-D: That's right. compiz == beryl. [10:39] K-O-D: More or less. [10:39] i dont have any folder in media except these [10:39] ActionParsnip: I'm aiming for a quick and dirty wifi to all the house [10:39] (btw, your guys ability to keep up with multiple users in this room is impressive) [10:39] karsten: *shrugs* that was my volume group id when I installed the LVM [10:39] haha. [10:40] WIGGMPk: Ok. *That* was the missing piece. [10:40] blackdayz: its hard some days [10:40] what modules should I get in order to get kernel headers + source (which apparently I need to compile a driver)? [10:40] K-O-D: compizconfig-settings-manager [10:40] WIGGMPk: LVM. OK, so you've fscked it and mounted? [10:40] karsten: WIGGMPk = n00b [10:40] blackdayz: vmware & is a terminal command [10:40] WIGGMPk: Do yourself a favor and mount read-only. [10:40] blackdayz: nothing to do with firefox [10:40] ok I've forgotten entirely Vbox seems so much easier and I can't see what Vmware offers, though I realise blackdayz has no choice. [10:40] WIGGMPk: NP. old fart here. [10:40] karsten: aye, and im slowly getting to the files you told me to check for disk errors (i really appreciate your help) [10:41] silson: its part of the vmware install to configure outward reaching LAN devices [10:41] silson: vmware supports vx virtualization on newer cpus, virtualbox does not [10:41] silson: if you have a dual core cpu, vmware smokes virtualbox [10:41] fkc is there any progrma which could create database diagram based on sql or connecting to database? [10:41] WIGGMPk: NP. The classic message is 'read-seek complete error' or anything with 'CRC' in it. Generally means incipient (or already happening) drive failure. [10:41] I suppose I'd have realised that if I could afford a brand new computer :) [10:42] how can I apt-get my kernel source + headers? [10:42] silson: that's the only difference, if you're on a single core cpu, virtualbox is much easier to use and will get you the same performance as vmware [10:42] And Virtualbox is Free Softare. :) [10:42] Heavy argument, that. [10:42] I am on fast P4 [10:43] hay. Any-one having success connecting to undernet these days? [10:43] ActionParsnip: what is the default login name/password for the gui? === automatix is now known as ortsvorsteher [10:43] Ohmu: is you SSID in lower case (i thhink its case sensitive). I'd also try different wireless-modes to see if you can get connected [10:43] halberd: apt-cache search linux source [10:43] Hi! MenZa, vmware server 1.0.x & 2.0 is free, too. [10:43] Ohmu: if its unsecured its possible someone snook in and changed something [10:43] sushanth@SushiX:/media$ ls [10:43] cdrom cdrom0 OS 2 [10:43] bob_: Only as in beer :) [10:43] !free | bob_ [10:43] bob_: it's not really free, you don't get source code === NeMeSiS is now known as AnGeL_EyE [10:44] ActionParsnip: Doubt it. Nobody else in the village knows what a computer is! [10:44] blackdayz: for the localhost gui there isnt one [10:44] it's free, not open :P [10:44] Ohmu: id check just in case [10:44] Oh! [10:44] bob_: Freedom, in this case, means that you get the source code, you're allowed to modify and redistribute it. That's what free software is about - freedom. [10:44] ActionParsnip: then what am I missing? [10:44] I mean it's free for use... [10:44] I do use the player simply because there's so much already out there for Vmware, but hopefully that will change. We should suppose the FOSS option when we can. [10:44] which button is the button [10:44] but I still find vmware performance superior to vbox [10:44] K-O-D: your "Windows" or "Meta" key. [10:44] thank you [10:45] No problem. :) [10:45] i want to open a folder on my desktop to view the content in it wat is the command for that [10:45] blackdayz: so you run the frontend using vmware &. Then select local host. then click ok [10:45] silson: I use virtualbox on my amd box, but for my dual core boxes vmware uses a lot less cpu than virtualbox for the same virtual machines [10:45] AnGeL_EyE: You change to the directory with "cd Foldername/" and use "ls" to view the files/folders in it. [10:45] actionparsnip: k im wired now what? [10:45] karsten that gives me far too many results [10:45] there's a mirc-like irc client for ubuntu? [10:45] mikel1: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [10:46] i try that but did not work [10:46] halberd: Trye: apt-=cache search linux-source then, or filter the output through grep/less whatever. [10:46] AnGeL_EyE: Are you sure the folder exists, and contains anything? [10:46] I have pretty much found my header file using "apt-cache search linux-header | grep `uname -r`" [10:46] Hisamu: xchat, bitchx has good script support [10:46] xchat is the best option? :/ [10:46] although that only narrows it down to 3 [10:46] Hisamu: there is no "best" ANYTHING [10:46] I'm a bit lazy. I always use the easier option :) [10:46] yes [10:46] what's the release after Jaunty Jackalope going to be called? Kinky Kinkajou? [10:46] Hisamu: you need to ditch the word "best" [10:46] Hisamu: Depending on what you want - irssi and xchat are really good clients. xchat if you want a GUI client; irssi if you want a terminal one. [10:46] AnGeL_EyE: What's the name of the folder? [10:47] ivan [10:47] x_x [10:47] i did get some ubuntu updates on my ubuntu i install them, but now i cant come in to my usb sticks, do somebody know how i can fix this pproblem [10:47] silson: easy is good, I'm not down on you for choosing it, you wouldn't see any difference moving to vmware anyways on your cpu [10:47] Hisamu: Although the list of IRC clients goes on; irssi, bitchx, xchat, konversation, xchat-gnome, etc. [10:47] it is on my desktop [10:47] actionparsnip: k now what? [10:47] dulak, i got it working and so does the menues...The problem now is that the movies plays very very fast and i don have any sound. [10:47] i'll give bitchx a try [10:47] AnGeL_EyE: ok; open a terminal. What language is your desktop set to? [10:47] okay so I am doing apt-get install linux-source [10:48] Arvan: I am not sure about that, mine worked great out of the box, you might check the xbmc forums for ideas [10:48] Arvan: Try downloading latest audio-video codecs... ;) [10:48] karsten: there were only 2 lines with "CRC" in kern.log from 2-3 days ago, I didnt find anything in messages or dmesg [10:48] how can i install .package file [10:48] sabs23 [10:48] DigitaL_FreaK08: it's xbmc, no codecs [10:48] karsten: you think its ok to reboot and try it out? [10:48] * ntinos_ is away: efiga leme :P [10:48] WIGGMPk: What were thay? Go ahead a paste here. [10:48] how can I test /etc/fstab? like an entry, can i manually test one line rather than doing sudo mount -a? [10:48] hi [10:48] AdvoWork: Try mount /mount/point [10:48] karsten: Oct 16 06:00:40 luggs-mbl kernel: [14449.899170] sr 0:0:0:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: Id CRC or ECC error [10:49] english [10:49] AnGeL_EyE: Try "cd Desktop/ivan" [10:49] * karsten tries to remember what sr0 is. [10:49] karsten: Oct 17 01:58:11 luggs-mbl kernel: [ 137.620760] sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: Id CRC or ECC error [10:49] WIGGMPk: That's a SCSI error probably from a USB device, likely something you can ignore. [10:49] will apt-get install linux-source also install the headers? [10:49] WIGGMPk: http://linuxgazette.net/issue76/tag/10.html is typical of failing disk messages [10:50] halberd: headers are a seperate package [10:50] ZmAY: You need autopackage. This isn't in the repositories; I can recommend that you search for a .deb package with the software. [10:50] because I was reading something that said I would have to look for both source and headers separately [10:50] halberd: apt-cache search linux-headers [10:50] I have the 3d desktop effects enabled [10:50] yes dulak that narrows it down to 3 [10:50] halberd: headers are in linux-headers-`uname -r` (where `uname -r` is your kernel version) [10:50] actionparsnip: ??? [10:50] however i only have two desktops and not a total cube, even though I've selected the desktop cube effect [10:50] halberd check your current kernel with uname -a, and get the headers and source that match [10:50] it is not working [10:50] mikel1: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade; sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade [10:51] mikel1: was a quick phone call dude [10:51] ActionParsnip: Thanks! You were right. I just had to sub allow hotplug wlan0 instead of auto wlan0 [10:51] linux-headers (plain), linux-headers (lbm) and linux-headers (lum) [10:51] hi. Is there anyone that has issues with 2.6.24-21 on amd64, regarding network and no adsl working like it should and system freezes? [10:51] Ohmu: nice one dude [10:51] Here is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/287416 [10:51] karsten: im still confused. this just randomly happens? was it a PEBKAC? [10:52] I guess I'll just go with the plain one [10:52] Ohmu: id add that file to your backup now so you dont have to mess around if you want to reinstall [10:52] mikel1: that will get you fully updated to the latest hardy [10:52] i want to change the defined email address of my user, while i am running dch command and editing changelog files it is adding an invalid mail where does the user's email address info is kept? [10:52] ActionParsnip: Yeah I'm noting everything down!! [10:53] back in a minute [10:53] Ohmu: just put the file on your backup media, way easier [10:53] actionparsnip: sorry man just dident know if you were stil there ok the upgrades turned up 0 on all of those but with no errors [10:53] I kind of like not having a GUI to mess with, just using "screen" [10:53] mikel1: ok whats the output of uname -r [10:53] it forces me to think about what I'm doing instead of looking for things on the monitor [10:54] ogzy: from the DEBEMAIL environment variable, otherwise I think it builds one using username@hostname [10:54] 2.6.27-4-generic [10:54] is there any progrma which could create database relation diagram based on sql or connecting to database? [10:55] this sign show up > i tried the cd Desktop/ivan now i can not exit . [10:55] i still can not open the folder on the desktop [10:55] ogzy: so put a 'export DEBEMAIL=the.address@that.you.want' in ~/.bashrc [10:55] mikel1: and what's the output of lsb_release -a === Doccy|PS2 is now known as Indoctrine [10:55] bimberi, ok thanx [10:56] mikel1: what release number? [10:56] AnGeL_EyE: try ls ~/Desktop/ivan [10:56] AnGeL_EyE: nautilus ~/Desktop/ivan & [10:57] Good morning everyone [10:57] hi Pokoloko [10:57] gm 2u2 [10:57] hi pokoloko [10:57] thanks for the help ActionParsnip (: [10:57] blackdayz: all better? [10:58] ActionParsnip: I think I've done everything: ip forwarding, nat, dhcp and configuring the wifi card. No errors. But my xp machine doesnt see a network. Can I test on the ubuntubox whether it's actually transmitting? [10:58] Ohmu: you could ping your gateway and the xp box by name and ip [10:59] hey how come the headers are actually larger in size than the source [10:59] i want to open a folder on my desktop to view the content in it wat is the command for that [10:59] i want to open a folder on my desktop to view the content in it wat is the command for that [10:59] i want to open a folder on my desktop to view the content in it wat is the command for that [10:59] i want to open a folder on my desktop to view the content in it wat is the command for that [10:59] AnGeL_EyE: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:59] AnGeL_EyE: we told you [10:59] AnGeL_EyE: cd ~/Desktop [10:59] AnGeL_EyE: try ls ~/Desktop/ivan [10:59] AnGeL_EyE: ls [11:00] AnGeL_EyE: is the folder on your desktop named ivan? [11:00] is anyone here using Hardy and an Intel 4965 wireless card (notebook xps1330) and able to connect with 802.11n speeds? [11:00] yes [11:00] AnGeL_EyE: ok [11:00] AnGeL_EyE: in terminal: cd ~/Desktop/ivan; ls [11:01] how do I make my desktop show up on the top and bottom of the cube too, or is that not an option? [11:01] AnGeL_EyE: if you want it in the gui then type: nautilus . [11:01] AnGeL_EyE: you need to put the . [11:01] anyone else on here good with ndiswrapper [11:01] anyone from the UK at all ? [11:02] Puppy: its not hard [11:02] anyone able to connect with 802.11n speeds using Hardy ? [11:02] Puppy: im from leeds [11:02] ActionParsnip you say that [11:02] karsten: THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. Im back in my system and everything looks like its working great. [11:02] ActionParsnip - can i pm [11:02] sure [11:02] wow this desktop is truly impressive - this is way better eye candy than vista [11:02] K-O-D: compiz? [11:03] yeah Binary - this is amazing [11:03] wobbly windows rule [11:03] cube desktop [11:03] i kinda like the wall better [11:03] K-O-D: millions would disagree [11:03] compiz rOCKS, gotta love the cube and the zoom out feature that shows all your desktops, also love the raindrop water effects [11:03] cube is just flashy [11:03] its good there's plugins too [11:03] and it actually made glxgears run faster =- and yes i know its not a "benchmark" even though it sort of it [11:03] K-O-D: millions would agree [11:04] smm289: compiz is only slowly wm... [11:04] ActionParsnip, its a shame Ubuntu doesn't put out some commercials to make fun of vista [11:04] actionparsnip its 8.10 [11:04] the mac ones are a riot [11:04] the windows one suck [11:04] I am a PC lol [11:04] Is it possible to play GL video games like Open Arena while compiz is on if given great hardware? [11:04] K-O-D: its above poking fun. its more mature [11:04] K-O-D: i actually like the wall better than the desktop... cause when i zoom out it's like i can see everything at once [11:04] thats where Ubuntu ought to have a commercial - I'm a PC, and I dont SUCK and cost 400 bucks [11:05] So, does anyone know why when I execute "sudo alsa force-reload" it replays the default login sounds when I have my own custom sound set under the accessibility tab of "Login Window"??? [11:05] actionparsnip: 8.10 [11:05] K-O-D: notice how Linux has done very little advertisng and still gets great press with a decent userbase [11:05] I havent played with "wall" [11:05] Hello there. Need small help with Squid: Wont redirecting port 80 from the same PC and the same ETH0 to port 3128(squid working here) put it in an endless loop? As in user>p:80>redirect_3128>squid>p:80>redirect_3128(...)? [11:05] mikel1: then its intrepid and beta software. Its considered broken. Head off to #ubuntu+1 [11:05] mikel1: intrepid support is NOT here [11:05] Action - yeah its good stuff, although I have to say, I was very impressed with OsX [11:06] hi all, is it possible to run a user cronjob only when the user logged in? [11:06] K-O-D commercials cost money, besides i prefer to research and by products of my preference rather than let commercials decide what i use [11:06] too bad I can't afford a mac [11:06] K-O-D: its offtopic for a support channel dude [11:06] jokeusa: why would you redirect port 80 on the same nic to squid? [11:06] hi could someone help me with xrandr (external monitor) configuration? [11:06] !ot [11:06] koshari, im not talking about commercials to sell a product - just to harass MS [11:06] MrKeuner: yes [11:06] jokeusa: are you sure you aren't trying to redirect port 80 outbound to squid to force a transparent proxy? [11:06] hi folks. i have a problem. i just updated some stuff, also the kernel with the update manager. after reboot i get "Kernel Panic - not syncing: VSF : Unable to mount root fs on unkonown-block(0,0)". I'm using hardy 8.04... any help? [11:06] dulak - its a stand-alone PC that has Squid3 running, kids are using it so we use Squid to filter bad stuff and block DL'ing files. [11:06] binarymutant: would you care to tell me how? [11:06] actionparsnip: i came here cos ubuntu+1 is dead and i had the same problem with hardy and the fix that worked with hardy worked in intrepid last time but i dont remember what it was all i had to do was get 177 drivers installed [11:07] MrKeuner: crontab -e [11:07] jokeusa: yeah then you are proxying outbound port 80, not port 80 on the same nic [11:07] dulak - thats why i want to redirect outgoing traffic to go through port 3128 first [11:07] dulak, Still the same :S But while uppdating the codecs and all that i got to a sertain point where i could not press i think that might have bin the problem. [11:07] i found osx rather boring, the default billetted steel theme is really beginning to age, and i just cant get used to the panel changing with application focus [11:07] mikel1: then you gotta wait [11:07] binarymutant: that edits the file yes, so what? [11:07] is there a termcap variable for cygwin? [11:07] actionparsnip: how come? [11:07] mikel1: you are using what is considered broken software, untill its officially released its not supported in the official room [11:08] Ill tell you what exactly is my IPTables redirect: "iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128" [11:08] jokeusa: you are forwarding port 80 on the internet to 3128, not port 80 on your linux box [11:08] Im not 100% sure what it does [11:08] mikel1: it comes out in 8 days time, you can get a lot of testing in that time [11:08] jokeusa: yeah that's on OUTPUT, so anything going out to the internet on port 80 [11:08] pinholio [11:08] MrKeuner: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [11:08] goes to the same machine to port 3128 [11:08] jokeusa: INPUT would be anything coming from the internet to your computer [11:08] binarymutant: nevermind [11:08] dulak - right? [11:08] but at least osx has a desktop pager which is something ms really needs to rip off, its like tabbed browsing for the deaktop and should be the norm for all desktops [11:09] jokeusa: there is a config option in squid you turn on so it knows it's behind a proxy and it will fix the loop [11:09] dulak - But i dont want to filter incoming stuff...i want to filter stuff before it goes out === pdt12 is now known as erik___ [11:09] if i open a ssh terminal i see some wrong fonts [11:09] jokeusa: you want to filter sites on the internet, which is OUTPUT [11:09] actionparsnip: iv had help in here before and installing the same way i did in hardy worked with this one. so just help me as if i had hardy.... please please how do you install 177 drivers in command? [11:09] nobody an idea?`:( [11:09] what can i do to set cygwin using utf-8? [11:09] alteregoa: check you locales [11:09] jokeusa: think of it like this, your browser goes OUT to the internet and gets stuff on port 80 [11:10] alteregoa: yeah, i think [11:10] localh0st: in win? [11:10] Gah, i hate being a linux newb :< [11:10] I had irssi on windows, and i had unicode [11:10] localh0st: actualy ubuntu is unicode [11:10] ahh I finally found out I have a kernel that is too old for ath9k [11:10] dulak - So my IPTables conf line is wrong? [11:11] is upgrading my kernel a simple process? [11:11] localh0st: maybe those ssh stuff for win isn't using utf8 [11:11] dulak - it should be 'input on eth0' redirect to 3128? [11:11] http://anti.teamidiot.de/nei/2007/01/irssi_0810_for_windows_cygwinw/ [11:11] or would I be better off reinstalling the whole system? [11:11] how can I mount a USB device? [11:11] alteregoa: xchat using unicode utf-8 [11:11] mikel1: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 i think, try tab completing [11:12] localh0st: not for irc, just SSH [11:12] putty! [11:12] jokeusa: actually you shouldn't be on output at all [11:12] jokeusa: sec and I"ll paste a link [11:12] alteregoa: putty [11:12] :) [11:12] halberd: what ubuntu version? [11:12] jokeusa: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-setup-transparent-proxy-squid-howto.html [11:13] jokeusa: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/TransparentProxy.html [11:13] how can I mount a USB device? [11:13] bimberi 2.6.24-21-server [11:13] actionparsnip: how do you tab complete? [11:13] dulak - "Eth0 connected to internet and eth1 connected to local lan i.e. system act as router." [11:13] dulak - its totally different, my PC is not a router [11:13] mikel1: you type some of the command and hit tab [11:13] RetrogradeCultur: what is your usb devide? [11:13] a stand-alone [11:13] pendrive, memory card? [11:13] halberd: so hardy then :) [11:13] localh0st: it's a flash disk [11:13] yes bimberi but I need 2.6.27 [11:14] halberd why [11:14] for ath9k === aquaroot is now known as cbury [11:14] jokeusa: look at the iptables lines though, notice they are not on the OUTPUT but on PREROUTING? [11:14] RetrogradeCultur: so try sudo mount -t vfat /dev/device /mount/catalog [11:14] ;] [11:14] ty [11:14] dulak - yes, i've tried these, they did not work at all [11:14] so I guess I shouldn't have much trouble with a kernel upgrade should I? [11:15] actionparsnip: bad command but lemme try google maybe you steared me in the right direction [11:15] If four device is forrmated in fat/fat32 - default filesystem [11:15] halberd: wait 8 days for intrepid then? [11:15] jokeusa: hmmmm, let me see if I can find anything about a stand-alone transparent proxy [11:16] mikel1: sudo apt-get install nvidia [11:16] has really no one ever had a frigging kernel panic? i can't figure out what todo, any help would be terrific [11:16] whats the difference between 8.04 and 8.04.1 ? [11:16] dulak - problem is, when i used "iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128" it actually started working...as in redirected outgoing stuff to transparent Squid...i know this because firefox was working OK before running that command, and after running it, Squid blocked my PC (was set on http_access deny all). [11:16] localh0st: it doesn't give me any output [11:16] sudo fdisk -l [11:16] localh0st: i enter the PW and it doesn't do anything [11:16] and then find your device name [11:17] Ok, then do [11:17] Fish-Guts: check dmesg | tail [11:17] ah I see [11:17] is it possible to list all my packages with apt-get? [11:17] that is bizarre === dian is now known as priyo [11:17] dulak - unfortunately, i can only see that it redirects that traffic to squid...if i set Squid to let my PC access net, all requests get timed out [11:17] cbury: check man [11:17] yeah 'sudo fdisk -l' doesn't give any output either [11:18] Fish-Guts: ive never had one as I only EVER use stable official stuff [11:18] cbury: 'dpkg --get-selections' [11:18] localh0st: the problem is, if i connect to an ubuntu shell, of my friend i see everything ok, but if i connect to my own pc from win, i see garbage [11:18] anyone got any god reasons not to go from 8.04 to 8.04.1 ? [11:18] dulak - seems to me they're in an endless loop...as i said earlier...request_p:80>iptables_redirect_3128>squid>request_p:80>iptables_redirect_3128(...)etcetcetc [11:18] good* [11:18] jokeusa: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/InterceptionProxy#head-779feb6af81cda62fc6dce049030d3434c13ee05 [11:18] localh0st: i tested it with mc [11:18] the error I am getting is /home/bparkis/downloads/compat-wireless-2008-10-22/config.mk:28: *** "ERROR: You should use compat-wireless-2.6-old for older kernels, this one is for kenrels >= 2.6.27". Stop. [11:18] nnull: cant see why not, its an official release [11:18] ActionParsnip: i'ts happnening only when i try to update my kernel as sugested by my update manager [11:18] alteregoa: and? [11:18] i cannot boot at all only with my gutsy live cd [11:19] is that supposed to be a joke [11:19] Fish-Guts: try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [11:19] localh0st: I got it now thx :) [11:19] nnull: because the lord... o darn you corrected the typo ;P [11:19] I unmounted it and now I got it working. thanks :D [11:19] jokeusa: you have to use the loopback 127.0.0.1 in that example === Raymond_CN is now known as Raymond_CN_away [11:19] bimberi¬ heh ;) [11:19] ActionParsnip i am using hardy [11:19] hi [11:19] RetrogradeCultur: no problem ;) [11:19] Fish-Guts: that command works on any debian based system [11:19] how to use ACL file access rights under ubuntu? Do I need some preparation? [11:19] hi could someone help me with xrandr (external monitor) configuration? [11:20] localh0st: where are those "locales" and termcap variables sstored? [11:20] how am i supposed to make a shell based dist upgrade when i cannot boot?$ [11:20] Is there a way to permanently set a default aspect ratio in xine? [11:20] Fish-Guts: you could boot to an old kernel, or boot to live cd and chroot [11:20] is it possible to check if package x is installed before [11:20] typeing apt-get install x [11:20] Fish-Guts: can you boot into recovery mode (from the grub boot menu)? [11:20] alteregoa: i dont remeber, but in my Arch linux is it in /etc/locales.gen [11:20] so from what i understand, lo is my input device, and eth0 output? (logical thinking?) [11:20] cbury: dpkg -l | grep packagename [11:21] jokeusa: yes [11:21] dulak: i'd add -i to your grep [11:21] ActionParsnip: i booted with my live cd, and from there i don't know what to do [11:21] how do i download envy and install it via terminal [11:21] can you chroot to a different kernel version? [11:21] I would like to test the difference between REJECT and DROP in iptables. To do this, I run this command on my firewall machine: iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -j REJECT. From a different machine, I try to connect to a system behind the firewall (nc 192.168.162.131). Result: nothing happens. Shouldn't I receive a Host Unreachable ? [11:21] mikel1: sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk [11:21] mikel1: ive never setup envy from cli [11:21] hi there, im doing: sudo mount -a and its saying: mount: mount point does not exist Could not resolve mount point /home/sageBackups any ideas? [11:21] jokeusa: you have to set squid to run on the loopback interface, and you'll use the loopback like eth1 in that other example [11:21] awsome lemme try it [11:21] i think, better idea is chroot to "not avainable" system from livecd [11:22] dulak - studying that linky atm :) [11:22] can i not get an advanced configuration tool for synaptics ? [11:22] chroot continues to use the booted kernel [11:22] So, does anyone know why when I execute "sudo alsa force-reload" it replays the default login sounds when I have my own custom sound set under the accessibility tab of "Login Window" and under the "Sounds" options I have "Login" sound disabled??? [11:22] jokeusa: basically you are using the loopback as the second nic to fake the router aspect of things [11:22] AdvoWork you have that mount point? and why are you trying to mount a user directory? [11:23] actionparsnip: it sais couldent find package [11:23] mikel1: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk [11:23] dulak - excuse the ignorance, what is nic? [11:23] mikel1: try tab completing then envyng bit [11:23] jokeusa: network interface card [11:23] do I need to downgrade my kernel or something? i really don't know [11:24] jokeusa: short hand for network card [11:24] Fish-Guts: boot and press esc to see yuor grub menu, then choose and older kernel [11:24] i don't have an older kernel! update manager removed all of 'em [11:24] Fish-Guts: once in the old kernel you can view logs [11:25] ActionParsnip: older kernel isnt removed in update? [11:25] how can i make my server resolve a hostname to itself? [11:25] localh0st: not on my boxes [11:25] actionparsnip: downloading thanks [11:25] Fish-Guts: id check just to make sure [11:25] * bimberi uses Update Manager and has a slew of old kernels ;) [11:25] EarthLion, edit /etc/hosts [11:26] * ActionParsnip uses apt-get then removes all but the last 2 good kernels [11:26] last stable kernel version was 2.6.24-18 [11:26] no there anymore [11:26] Fish-Guts: is that what you see when you view the grub menu? [11:26] only 2.6.24-19 and 2.6.24-21 [11:26] ActionParsnip: neat-freak! ;P [11:26] ActionParsnip no i look in my boot directo5ry [11:26] ok [11:26] boot partition [11:26] bimberi: i just like minimal stuff on my system (also hence fluxbox) [11:27] dulak - is that first iptable line even necessary? it looks like one used when my box's a router [11:27] :) [11:27] ActionParsnip: have you used dwm yet? [11:27] ActionParsnip [11:27] Anyone help please? Where can I set the DEFAULT aspect ratio of xine? [11:27] Fish-Guts: ahh so you are reading the menu.lsy file? [11:27] hmmm, im now getting: mount error: mount point /home/sageBackups does not exist how come? home/sageBackups exists? [11:27] + [11:27] actionparsnip: now im installing the 177 drivers thanks man [11:27] ActionParsnip: nope. i checked al vmlinuz-.... version i have in my boot partition [11:28] AdvoWork pastebin your fstab entry [11:28] jokeusa: http://www.mail-archive.com/squid-users@squid-cache.org/msg14384.html [11:28] jokeusa: he solved the problem you are having [11:29] right so on ubuntu sudo vi /etc/hostname [11:29] i have placed my external hostname but in there [11:29] that should mean when the server sees that it should just connect to localhost right? [11:29] jokeusa: basically his rule checks if squid is the one originating the request, allows that, then forces anything else through squid [11:30] jokeusa: that should fix up your loop [11:30] man that sucks [11:30] i cano't do anything [11:30] i can't even chroot === Raymond_CN_away is now known as Raymond_CN [11:31] i installed postfix, how do i like do stuff with it now heh [11:32] i now checked the menu.lst [11:32] nnull: http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html [11:32] nnull: see #postfix channel [11:32] ta [11:32] i removed all except 2.6.24-19 and 2.6.24-19 recovery mode.... stilll crashing [11:32] dulak - thx, initial post looks exactly the same as my problem, hopefully solving it now [11:32] how can i install the 2.6.24-18 kernel again from my live CD? [11:33] jokeusa: let me know if it works I"m gonna do a blog post about it, was moderately hard to find the solution [11:34] dulak - aight [11:34] how do i enable nvidia restricted drivers in terminal? [11:35] hi all, where can i get a list of all non-standard repositories so i can add them to sources file... e.g. Medibuntu, Opera, and others ? the ones mentioned here for medibuntu don't work http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#sources.list [11:35] mikel1: you manually edit xorg.conf [11:35] koshari got it working now I think [11:35] !medibuntu | blip- [11:35] in xorg do i just ad "driver" nvida? [11:35] hello [11:35] mikel1: heres mine at 1024x768 [11:36] mikel1: [11:36] http://pastebin.com/f775f04f [11:36] http://www.medibuntu.org blip- [11:36] k i'll check it out [11:37] bastid_raZor: yes i have that... what i mean is there a complete list ? I mean there may be useful repos which i don't know about... i know only about opera and medibuntu, but i'm sure there is more good stuff elsewhere [11:37] !opera [11:37] ubottu died [11:37] yeah i know it sucks [11:38] dulak - failed..."Bad OWNER UID value 'squid'" [11:38] when running first command [11:38] jokeusa: look at the squid process and see what it's running as [11:38] someone send a magic packet to ubottu [11:38] jokeusa: ps auxw | grep squid [11:38] hello sinners [11:38] hey seekingtruth, sinning is good [11:39] ActionParsnip: you can tell that to God at judgement day [11:39] blip-; oh i see what you mean. it is all according to what you're wanting. for example a new dock. Cairo-Dock . you would need to add a repo for that. === nad10000 is now known as dannybuntu [11:39] seekingtruth: im sure i will [11:39] ActionParsnip: yes you will [11:39] ActionParsnip; why feed the troll :\ [11:39] bastid_raZor: looked hungry [11:39] bastid_raZor: define troll [11:39] has VIM got a way todo select all text to delete? [11:39] seekingtruth: shame hes ficticious [11:39] AdvoWork: you can delete a whole line with dd [11:40] dulak dd? [11:40] <__BradC> mmm.. the latest kernel update for 8.04 appears to have broken my FTDI USB UART .. [11:40] AdvoWork: in command mode dd deletes the entire current line [11:40] bastid_raZor: When a person judges or is critical of you and what you say or do, then the reason is because this person has judged aspects of their own appearance and their own self, that they deep down cannot tolerate. Therefore they externalises it onto someone else. So in oyher words, you think youre a troll :) [11:40] __BradC: did the old kernel work 100%? [11:40] how do you use it then?# [11:40] AdvoWork; vimtutor is a great way to learn more about vim and all it can do. [11:40] <__BradC> always ActionParsnip [11:40] bastid_raZor: ok i'll check that out thanks, one more question please, in the medibuntu page they tell me to do "sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list" ......... is this correct ? Because it is not modifying my sources.list.... what's sources.list.d for ? thanks [11:40] !ot [11:40] __BradC: then why did you upgrade? [11:41] AdvoWork: I'm not understanding what you mean? you hit esc, then type dd and it will delete the current line [11:41] <__BradC> Because the update manager had it there to upgrade. I always tend to apply the updates Ubuntu feeds to me on that machine [11:41] __BradC: the only real reason to upgrade the kernel is if it supports something that doesnt work in your current kernel [11:41] <__BradC> and local or remote exploits.. security patches are always a valid reason to upgrade [11:42] jokeusa: squid runs as the user proxy, so switch squid to proxy in that iptables rule [11:42] dulak - it outputs this: htttp://paste.ubuntu.com/61468/ [11:43] can someone tell me what this is about? http://img368.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotys2.png it looks like I have shadow partition [11:43] blip-; that will link it to your source.list and still be checked with apt-get.. look in /etc/apt/source.list.d/medibuntu.list .. [11:43] dulak - ah, yes, so that s an username [11:43] jokeusa: yes, in that iptables rule swap squid to proxy and it should work [11:44] hi, I have a Radeon 9200 video card. and apparently DRI is disabled, how do I enable it? [11:44] blip-; sources.list.d tells apt-get to also look else where for repositories. [11:44] http://pastebin.com/d12663740 [11:44] that's the output of glxinfo [11:45] Hello , i am new to Ubuntu , does it possible to use ls command or other command from terminal to count files in the folders ? [11:45] <__BradC> ls | wc -l [11:45] Trashlord radeons 9200 restricted binary dont support dri [11:45] do you know where can I get the open source driver for it? [11:46] hello everybody [11:46] folks no ideas left? [11:46] ls -l | wc -l [11:46] aciton [11:46] ActionParsnip [11:46] can anyone tell me what is wrong, why I have two of the same partition showing up? http://img368.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotys2.png [11:46] is there a spanish version of #ubuntu? [11:47] #ubuntu-es [11:47] hi [11:47] dpkg !portuguese [11:47] arquebus: whats your gtk theme? [11:48] localhost, Im just using the stock desktop [11:48] any recomendations for a identd? [11:48] Hm [11:48] arquebus: I'm not sure if you can mount the same paritition twice but it seems to be what you have there.. one is mounted normally and one using fuse.. the user space file system thingy [11:48] oidentd or pidentd? [11:48] dulak - Thank you :) [11:49] jokeusa: that working? [11:49] Slart- this happened when I did an update, and it installed two kernels at the same time, I uninstalled the old kernel but that did not fix it, I guess it installed on my empty partition [11:49] had a new member pm me, and I have no clue other than "Se habla espanol?" [11:49] arquebus: I have the exact same thing on my computer [11:50] Slart- what should I do? [11:50] I also have that listed in system monitor [11:50] I believe it's a gnome thing [11:51] Good Morning! [11:51] arquebus: it's a normal behaviour [11:51] hello [11:51] hey everyone I am just wondering if there is someway to have programs minimize to the system tray on startup? I have a program called Tasque and Tomboy Notes and I want them to startup and miminize to the system tray instead of opening in full view [11:52] arquebus: about your partition showing up twice? nothing I guess.. I dubt it's even a bug.. might be used for something [11:52] Bom dia [11:52] nomoa, Im sure its not, my computer makes an awful growling noise when it boots, I think I should wipe out the partition [11:52] Preciso de ajuda [11:52] alguem pode me ajudar?? [11:52] is it anyway to tweak nvidia on xorg.conf? [11:53] arquebus: all 3 of my ubuntu boxes show that double partition in system monitor, I believe it's normal [11:53] arquebus: the double mount by gnome is normal, your problem elsewhere [11:53] !br | Sfc-2008 [11:53] jokeusa: you there? [11:53] dulak, nomoa, ok, thx, I'll see what else it could be [11:53] i just got 700-800 fps on glxgears [11:53] with my FX5200 [11:53] is this good? [11:54] are the bots having a day off? [11:54] ubottu died [11:54] VirusKongen: that's what I get on my 6200 [11:54] hi [11:54] how are u all [11:54] is ther any body who can help me.... plz [11:55] ok dulak [11:55] so I just reinstalled ubuntu on my t20... only this time there is no SUSPEND option on the shutdown menu [11:55] sharp_eyes: just ask your question, if someone knows they will answer [11:55] and with compiz it is 400 fps [11:55] <__BradC> halycon, have a look at devilspie. It allows you a bit of flexibility in what apps do and where they go on startup [11:55] VirusKongen: mine is 700-800 with compiz [11:55] how do I re-enable suspend on the shutdown menu? [11:55] i can play tuxracing and stepmania with all grapich settings on max :) [11:55] i want to update my ubuntu 8.4 in mediuntu [11:55] hi again. i with my kernel panic i just noticed in my menu.lst that there is an entry called root=UUID.... shouldn't i changed that to my root partition? [11:56] Hey everyone, I'm gonna enter the fray with: "aticonfig --tv-info" insists my TVout is PAL-B, not PAL-I. Even though the entry in xorg.conf is "PAL-I". Im guessing this explains the flickering colours on my tv... Any Ideas? [11:56] Fish-Guts, i'd guess that IS your root partition [11:56] dulak - yea, boss aggressively running around, was occupied, trying it now [11:56] ?? [11:56] VirusKongen: glxgears isn't a good benchmark (or a benchmark at all).. it doesn't really measure anything meaningful.. there are other benchmarks available in the repos [11:56] how do i fix this virtual box error? [11:56] The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect.. [11:56] VBox status code: -1909 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE).

As the share is not always available, is there a way for me to mount if avail and not already mounted ... and if it can't be mounted, retry every say 5 mins or something ? [11:57] Fish-Guts, "Loading grub, hit esc to see the menu", [11:57] yeah [11:58] any body here for help [11:58] co kenas [11:58] how can i install irc in ubuntu 8 [11:58] sharp_eyes, so add the servers to the apt sources list and install the stuff [11:58] sharp_eyes: client or server? [11:58] sharp_eyes, like, I just installed xchat using apt-get [11:59] sharp_eyes: there are several irc clients in ubuntu, try "sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome" [11:59] LV didn't work, still kernel panic [11:59] Any ideas about the tv-format problem I;m having? :) [11:59] Fish-Guts, do you have an IDE drive [11:59] is there a way to back-up settings? [11:59] gSTA [11:59] alteregoa, most settings are just files [11:59] it's on my notebook === c is now known as Charitwo [11:59] i did add "sda1" though [11:59] Fish-Guts, gSTA? [11:59] It's set to PAL-B, but It should be pal I...and I cant get it to change... [12:00] __BradC, thanks for your help I give them a shot [12:00] Fish-Guts, try /dev/sda1 instead [12:00] LV i meant SATA [12:00] alteregoa: copy the /etc folder to somewhere else.. that will get the global stuff.. your home folder has your personal settings [12:00] ciao [12:00] !List [12:00] alteregoa: most settings are in the /home/username directory, making a backup of that will catch most of your desktop and application settings [12:00] LV that's what i did [12:00] my boot partition is /dev/sda1 [12:00] so can i just copy all the /etc/ stuff and install the 64v, and put it back? [12:00] i guess that kernel i fucked [12:00] is [12:00] alteregoa: 64v? [12:00] amd64 [12:00] Fish-Guts, is that the only kernel in your boot menu? [12:00] yep [12:01] ouch. [12:01] <__BradC> Fish-Guts did the initramfs build properly when you installed the new kernel? [12:01] hello, if I use umtsmon, I always have to mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0 first, how can I make sure, that /dev/ppp is always there?! [12:01] alteregoa: it might work, yes..might run into some problems though [12:01] boot the install cd as a livecd then look at your fstab [12:01] __BradC i don't know, i did it with mya update maanger [12:01] Hi guys. I have an external drive (ext3) upon which is my music. 2 of my folders contain file(s) which are corrupted, i know this as they crash music players and make GTKPOD bail when syncing. Is there a way to check which are the bum files? [12:01] can i play wow on pol with FX5200 AGP 128 MB, 1024 MB DDR RAM and Celeron D 2.8 GHZ?? [12:01] because i buy a new motherboard with 16gb mem and stuff so i have to use those amd64 [12:02] drowner: fsck for checking the file system.. I think there are some command line utils for checking mp3s too [12:02] hello sinners :) [12:02] <__BradC> Fish-Guts sounds like you might have to boot off a live-cd to fix it then.. bummer [12:02] VirusKongen; probably will be a bit choppy, disable compiz all together when you try. [12:02] slart: cool. Can you fsck just one folder? [12:02] drowner: nope.. not as far as I know at least.. [12:02] i dont use compiz just the original extra effects [12:02] slart: will fsck identify a corrupt file? [12:02] __BradC that's what i've been asking for the last hour... i did reboot with my live CD but no one could tell what to do next :( [12:02] which came when i installe dhardy [12:02] drowner: you'll have to do the entire partition [12:02] how can I test if my wireless connection is working without disconnecting the wired connection? [12:03] drowner: perhaps.. it might print something out in the terminal when you run it [12:03] cool [12:03] <__BradC> right Fish-Guts.. are you using an i386 version of Ubuntu ? [12:03] yes [12:03] i think it may work if i set the graphics settings for wow to minimum [12:03] halberd: set your wired connection down and then start your wireless connection [12:03] VirusKongen; if the game is overly choppy then disable even that to see if it helps. [12:03] ok [12:04] slart: do you fsck the mount point or the /dev/sdaX bit? Does it need to be mounted or otherwise? [12:04] i tried to chroot into my boot partition to reinstall the old kernel with apt [12:04] wouldn't let chroot there [12:04] <__BradC> oh? what error did it give you ? [12:04] drowner: it should only fsck an unmounted partition.. and use the /dev/sdaX notation [12:04] <__BradC> I was just about to suggest that [12:04] ortsvorsteher: if I disconnect my wired connection I disconnect from this chatroom.. can I activate both at the same time? [12:04] slart: nice [12:04] drowner: it's all there in "man fsck" I think [12:04] /bin/bash: no such directory [12:04] any body here for help [12:05] newbie here, what are some free programming languages for ubuntu? e.g a counterpart for vb.net and c# .net. [12:05] sharp_eyes: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [12:05] slart: yeah, reading now [12:05] warrend try python! [12:05] <__BradC> Fish-Guts can you do an ls -la on /bin/bash to make sure it's actually there ?? [12:05] also java is similar to c# [12:05] warrend, c, c++, perl, python, erlang, lisp.. the list goes on [12:05] halberd: no, this is impossible. but you can come back here after your test [12:05] dulak - WORKS!! [12:05] __BradC: i CAN chroot to my root partition [12:05] Finally! [12:05] Hello. What do I do to listen live to BBC radio? I'm using Rhythmbox but I don't know how to listen to BBC. :( Thanks! [12:05] but not to my boot parttition [12:05] jokeusa: sweet, I'm posting a blog entry about it [12:06] <__BradC> Oh, I'm sorry.. right.. [12:06] are these programming languages free? c, c++, perl, python, erlang, lisp like linux? [12:06] sharp_eyes: just ask your question, if noone answers try rephrasing the question and ask again in 5 minutes or so.. use the time to search the ubuntu forums, use google etc [12:06] hehe, now the bigger problem [12:06] <__BradC> so your root and boot are on separate partitions ? [12:06] no they aren't [12:06] warrend, yes [12:06] warrend: yes [12:06] warrend yes those you listd are free software [12:06] sda1 is boot and sda3 is root [12:06] slart: to confirm: it would be fsck -v /dev/sdb3 [12:06] and Java is free too now, I think [12:06] warrend: I'm sure if the language itself is free. but there are free implementations of it [12:06] <__BradC> yes, so they are separate partitions. [12:06] will that repair too? [12:06] yes [12:06] drowner: looks right to me.. might need a sudo too [12:06] dulak - hehe, now the bigger problem, setting forwarding between Dansguardian>squid>clamav :) [12:06] warrend, and that's only a short list of free programming languages, there are many many others [12:06] slart: Its a USB plug in, so it might not? [12:07] <__BradC> so mount /dev/sda3 as root, and mount /dev/sda1 into /boot then chroot into your root.. [12:07] dulak - but i spose i gotta rtfm about DG and clamav 1st [12:07] so what also is involved specifically in starting a wireless connection besides iwconfig [12:07] drowner: nothing will explode if you try without sudo first =) [12:07] bastid_raZor: thanks, i checked medibuntu.list and it correctly shows "deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free" .. thanks for the help [12:07] slart: this is true. And repair - will it do it for me? [12:07] basically I just did iwconfig wlan0 [12:07] so you're saying if I now shut down eth0 the wireless will automatically connect? [12:07] many tnx to all who replied about free programming languages for linux. [12:08] drowner: yes.. you might need a switch or something for it to actually do the repair [12:08] yo yo yo [12:08] okay, done [12:08] Right, OK [12:08] drowner: -f perhaps.. [12:08] fish u can help me? [12:08] <__BradC> now, you should be able to chroot into your root and have access to your /boot from in there to install a new kernel [12:08] now i chrooted to my root partition [12:08] blip-; sure :) [12:08] fish can u help me? [12:08] <__BradC> can you see contents of /boot ? [12:09] k i'll try __BradC stand by [12:09] yes, boot is all there [12:09] <__BradC> excellent.. you _should_ be able to reinstall your kernel then [12:09] slart: i think its -r [12:09] but its default behaviour, apparently [12:09] fish do u help me in updrading of mediuntu?? [12:09] now just apt-get install linux-image.... ? [12:09] drowner: you're the one reading the man page =) [12:09] Yeah [12:09] <__BradC> you will probably need to add --reinstall after install, but yes [12:09] but that's for e2fsck [12:10] which i think is different [12:10] sup mah ninjas [12:10] i'll stick it in there anyhow [12:12] __BradC i get a dpkg error [12:12] <__BradC> ok, what's it say ? [12:12] hello. i am trying to use ndiswrapper for my pcmcia wlan card. ndiswrapper -l says 'driver installed, device present', but sudo modprobe ndiswrapper takes an infinite time. any idea? [12:12] could find image (/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-18-generic) [12:13] fredreichbier: try sudo ndiswrapper -m [12:13] <__BradC> just for kicks.. try this.. update-initramfs -k all -u [12:14] fredreichbier: and gksudo gedit /etc/modules to add the word ndiswrapper at the bottom of the file [12:14] fredreichbier: then save, exit and reboot [12:15] i need to stabilize the volume of some files (mp3) in a folder...any program or scripting line suggest to do so? [12:15] !coffee [12:16] __BradC: output was: generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-generic [12:16] same for 2.6.24.-19 and 2.6.24-18 [12:16] how can we get ubottu [12:16] back? [12:17] <__BradC> ok, so you have a few old kernels lying around there. if they generate ok and the initrams is listed for each one in /boot/grub/menu.lst then you _should_ be able to boot from one of them [12:17] hi I updated to Linux zombie-desktop 2.6.24-21-386 #1 Mon Aug 25 16:58:26 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux and now only one cpu shows up I have an amd 62 daul core [12:17] jussi01: ping (ubottu is down) [12:17] zombierip: you need the SMP [12:17] ActionParsnip: now it hangs on startup :/ [12:17] zombierip: kernel [12:17] how do i check whether they generate okay [12:18] whats the SMP [12:18] <__BradC> it will complain if they don't.. [12:18] fredreichbier: on loading ndiswrapper by any chance? [12:18] zombierip: its what dual cores need [12:18] <__BradC> do a ls -la of /boot and have a look to make sure you have some initramfs in there and they are referenced from menu.lst [12:18] how do i get that? [12:18] btw in my menu.lst is only the 2.6.24-19 [12:19] zombierip: install it how you installed the other kernel [12:19] hii === kuba is now known as Guest77592 [12:19] vmlinux-2.6.24-18 is missing [12:19] while i reinstalled windows [12:19] i installed the other kernal from the update icon [12:19] <__BradC> Fish-Guts that sounds like some of your kernels have not installed properly then.. [12:20] is there anyway to send email on the LAN only? like i have some routers that can email logs etc.. but i don't really want the data going out to the internet and the coming back..seem's silly that way.. how can i send the emails to a computer on the LAN directly? [12:20] is the 2.6.24-21 table? [12:20] I'll use that one then [12:20] <__BradC> I'd try that one.. [12:20] nnull: email server? [12:20] ActionParsnip: i'd say on loading ndiswrapper, yes [12:20] !ca [12:20] well [12:20] I did ifconfig eth0 down and then waited a few seconds but nothing was happening... another thing is that my power level for wlan0 is 0 db [12:20] binarymutant¬ i installed postfix.. but now i dunno what to do with it [12:20] !sox [12:20] fredreichbier: ok boot to livecd and edit the /etc/modules file back [12:21] fredreichbier: what wifi card do you have? [12:21] ActionParsnip: repent :) [12:21] seekingtruth: i will block you if you dont quit it [12:21] hi, does kubuntu 8.10 shipped with KDE 3 or KDE 4??? [12:21] g'mornin [12:21] Brian88: i believe they'll do both [12:22] __BradC: root hd(0,0) should be correct, rogjt? [12:22] ActionParsnip: ok. it's a zyxel zyair b-122; not recognized by ubuntu 8.10 live cd, so I thought i should try ndiswrapper [12:22] !grub [12:22] nnull: postfix is hard to configure :/ [12:22] <__BradC> Fish-Guts, if your boot partition is /dev/sda1 then yes, root(0,0).. [12:22] fredreichbier: 8.10 support is in #ubuntu+1 as its not released yet [12:22] well [12:22] . [12:22] wireless doesn't seem to be working [12:22] nnull: I can give you some links though if you want [12:23] ActionParsnip: why do you not worry about being thrown into the lake of fire? [12:23] binarymutant¬ :x what do youn recommend then [12:23] I do ifdown eth0 and then I wait... [12:23] halberd: it will in 7 days [12:23] my wireless interface is apparently wlan0 === c is now known as Charitwo [12:23] <__BradC> nnull exim is dead easy to configure.. [12:23] i rewrote my menu.lst to kernel 2.6.24-21 and am rebooting now [12:23] but I can't do ifup wlan0 [12:23] halberd: it will work in 7 days [12:23] Does Kubuntu 8.10 ship wuth KDE4 or KDE3??? [12:23] !grub | amanulla [12:23] I want it to be working a lot sooner than 7 days from now seekingtruth [12:23] <__BradC> Fish-Guts did you remember to specify the correct initramfs ? [12:23] halberd: ok [12:23] __BradC¬ does it work on server tho? [12:24] __BradC yes [12:24] how does one mount an mdf file in linux? [12:24] so what can I do now [12:24] seekingtruth: no, its just offtopic for the channel [12:24] <__BradC> nnull I guess so, I'm running it on 6.06 server anyway (and a couple of debian boxes) [12:24] Brian88: #ubuntu+1 for questions about intrepid [12:24] !8.10 |Brian88 [12:24] hey guys ...I have a ubuntu disk copied on a usb stick ... what should I add to the sources.list so that it would be added [12:24] ActionParsnip: :) [12:24] but it's still panîcking.... [12:24] how can I troubleshoot my wireless connection [12:24] if it's mounted on /media//cdrom0/ [12:24] Kernel panic-not syncing:VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) [12:24] seekingtruth: offtopic you can point fingers at anyone you want and say they are going to wherever [12:25] seekingtruth: here is for ubuntu based suport questions [12:25] i reboot from the live cd again... be right back [12:25] <__BradC> Fish-Guts that generally indicates it can't find the driver for the drive controller.. *or* you have multiple drives on multiple controllers and its loading them in the wrong order.. [12:25] ok, thanks ActionParsnip [12:25] Fish-Guts: ok [12:25] ActionParsnip: is ubutto sleeping?

[12:26] piasdom: try evolution [12:26] microsoft exchange server [12:27] is there an FOSS model for an internet cafe? [12:27] piasdom: ah.. evolution is the only one unless you use imap I think [12:27] ortsvorsteher:thanks [12:27] piasdom: you can run outlook 97 via wine [12:27] hey guys I have an ubuntu installation disk put on a usb stick and I'm trying to put in the repository list because I have no cdrom ....

[12:29] piasdom: exchange is really neat. just wish theyd allow 3rd partys to connect [12:29] piasdom: but thats not their style [12:30] <_3menda> hello every one [12:30] hi _3menda [12:31] hi action parsnip [12:31] hi emenda [12:31] how are u.. all [12:31] any body here to helo me [12:31] just ask your question sharp_eyes, all on one line [12:32] !hi sharp_eyes [12:32] help* [12:32] sharp_eyes: ask away [12:32] hateball [12:32] hateball: ubottu os sleeping [12:32] ActionParsnip» arf [12:32] i want to upgrade my ubuntu 8.4 to mid ubuntu [12:32] do u know how to do it [12:32] ??? [12:32] sharp_eyes mid ubuntu ? [12:32] sharp_eyes, what is mid ubuntu? [12:32] mid ubuntu is not something ive heard of [12:33] what that mid ubuntu [12:33] http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile [12:33] __BradC i rebooted and i will now reinstall the kernel using apt-get install [12:33] Oh. [12:33] <__BradC> Fish-Guts, I'm at a bit of a loss then.. it looks pretty convincingly like something is broken in your system as dpkg aborts when you try and install it.. [12:33] I do iwconfig wlan0 txpower on [12:33] then I do iwlist power [12:33] and it still says that wlan0 is off [12:34] sharp_eyes: isnt that for PDAs and PMPs? [12:34] wait I needed to do iwlist txpower [12:34] ok.. [12:34] 1sharp_eyes where does that say mid ubuntu ? [12:34] but it says it is -1 dBm [12:34] http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile [12:34] is that normal?? [12:34] !grub [12:34] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[12:35] sharp_eyes: you need a mobile device to run it on [12:35] ok ikonia [12:36] sharp_eyes, #ubuntu-mobile is their channel if you want more information [12:36] #ubuntu main [12:36] yes the power is 0 [12:37] halberd: is the device turned on? [12:38] Is it necessary to specify the filesystem type when you mount a device from the command line, I seem to be able to do it without doing so? [12:38] actionparsnip it is an internal laptop card [12:38] __BradC thanks for your help... I will reinstall my system now... might be the best [12:38] halberd: have you pressed the hotkeyt to enable it or switch to turn it on? [12:38] and I tried ifup wlan0 but it did not work [12:38] thomc, that won't always work, but sometimes you can get away without it [12:38] there is no switch [12:38] thomc, depends on the type of filesystem [12:38] thomc: I think it will be a more or less educated guess if you omit the fs type [12:38] halberd: there is [12:39] no, it is a macbook AirPort card [12:39] halberd: there is on every laptop to turn it of and on [12:39] Hi guys! Since transmission is the defsault torrent client, I started using it but darn it was too slow and I thought it was my isp. Then I read that I could install utorrent via wine and I did so. The difference is immense! Why is that and is there another native client for ubuntu which offers the same quality? Thanks [12:39] there is no physical switch [12:39] Ok thanks kunwon1 and Slart [12:39] not on the macbook [12:39] halberd: which macbook do you have? [12:39] macbook core duo I think [12:39] hey, i have a question about twinview: these are my metamodes: "CRT: 1280x1024 +0+0, DFP: 1680x1050 +1280+0; CRT: NULL, DFP: 1680x1050 +0+0" but when i start urban terror, my crt monitor doesn't work, which is good, but the urban terror in full screen starts only from the middle of my 1680*1050 screen, someone know a way how to shoot the trouble? [12:39] <__BradC> Fish-Guts, ugh.. that must be the absolute last resort. I'm really sorry I could not help further, I'm just crap at remote assistance. I need to have the patient in front of me.. [12:40] can pidgin connect to YM? [12:40] yes [12:40] halberd: look on the bottom. core duo is the cpu inside which most have [12:40] in OS X you control whether the port is on or off entirely through software [12:40] doors98: it can connect to yahoo [12:40] there is definitely no physical switch [12:40] crimsun: are you there? [12:40] K_Dallas: check out deluge.. or azureus [12:41] halberd: no FN + F key hotkey [12:41] <_3menda> Hi every one .. I have a big problem .. I used to have a NAS (storage) and seems to be since this morning wont start any more, is a WD mybook world 500giga, so I tried to take the hhd and put inside a USB case and try to read but is impossible, because there is a ext3 filesystem with raid flag and doesn't mount ... what I can do ?? in advance thanks to every one [12:41] is ther any messnager like msn [12:41] ah actionparsnip I'm not sure about that but I've never used it if so [12:41] sharp_eyes: amsn or pidgin [12:41] halberd: i bet its off [12:41] K_Dallas: also make sure you are being connectable.. ie reachable from the internet to some port you chose in the client [12:42] actionparsnip I have never had to use any kind of physical switch from OS X [12:42] sharp_eyes, also kopete for kde [12:42] it is done through a menu option [12:42] __BradC don't worry about it... i reall appreciate your help :) [12:42] halberd: well now you are using linux [12:42] <__BradC> halberd there is no physical wireless switch on macbooks [12:42] can a ym user call to a pidgin user? [12:42] dooglus, if the other user also has a yahoo account, yes [12:43] doors98, that is [12:43] __BradC: they may be a key combination [12:43] K_Dallas, there are a number of reasons why utorrent might run faster for you. You might want to look into what's making transmission slow. Could be you have to forward a port from your router. [12:43] Slart: ok. [12:43] can a ym user call to a pidgin user? [12:43] well one thing I could do is simply manually configure all the things, like TxPower set to 15 based on what someone else reported on the web [12:43] kunwon1: I do port forwarding on the router for utorrent [12:44] and see if that works [12:44] K_Dallas, but not for transmission?

Like what does it allow you to do [13:09] Puppy checking the first link in google.....perhaps the guy on the phone was not an "idiot" after all [13:09] halycon it allows a user to mount and have his own "personal" file system access (access is the key) [13:09] best way is to shop smart [13:09] ikonia - first link in google when searchign for [13:09] ikonia - ive already trye dthoes drivers [13:09] Puppy: your driver name and linux [13:10] Puppy: right - so they are the official drivers from your manufacturere, [13:10] halycon: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ [13:10] halycon: overview on that page [13:10] ikonia - the official drivers have never worked for me [13:10] ikonia - not even on windows [13:11] ikonia, why is there a wikipedia and a gmail thing though for it [13:11] Puppy then you may want to consider changing cards/buying supported hardware [13:11] halycon not sure what you mean [13:11] Puppy: exactly what model card is it ? [13:12] ikonia - second [13:12] puppy: The official drivers don't work on linux OR windows? Stupid question: Are you sure you know what card it is?

[13:13] halycon not that I'm aware of [13:13] Puppy: give them the line from lspci [13:13] toggles_w: stick with 8.04 for now [13:14] Puppy: that is the official driver http://download.driverguide.com/driver/WL-XI-600XA/Dynamode/d387066.html [13:14] IdleOne: thanks mate [13:14] I have all these video files and I cannot hear the audio for them they use a really obscure codec called Qualcom Pure voice that came with Quicktime 3 or something does anyone know how to get it to work with Ubuntu [13:14] IdleOne: oh.. is there an upgrade path to 8.10?

[13:16] toggles_w: i think its fine [13:16] ikonia - the official drivers dont [13:16] Puppy ndiswrapper is not a "stable" technology [13:16] ikonia: i think he means the drivers he is using NOW, possibly? [13:16] ikonia - i figured that out [13:16] Puppy: you need the right windows drivers for ndiswrapper to work. [13:17] Puppy: your card is not supported, and there are vendor drivers - if the vendor drivers don't work I suggest you get support from tehm from your vendor [13:17] ikonia - i tryed it with official windows, and the drivers i have runnign on this xp now [13:17] Puppy: go to the manufacters site and download the latest drivers that will work [13:17] Puppy: What are the drivers that do work supposed to be for? [13:17] ActionParsnip - it didnt, why do you think i spent 4 ohurs pissing about with wrapper [13:17] Puppy moderate your language please. [13:17] Puppy: did you get an install cd with it?

[13:18] Puppy: And what are those drivers for? Where did you get them, if the official ones do not work? [13:18] ikonia - appologies [13:19] drowner - no, if i install the official drivers onto XP, it does not pick up the card, the ones that i am using now, that work with xp, i cant remeber where i got [13:19] drowner - but ive tryed official and these === Guest14849 is now known as bash [13:19] drowner - even drivers for other card versions, none work [13:19] can anyone help me get my ubuntu to show both cores of my processor [13:19] Puppy contact teh vendeor [13:19] Puppy: did you try the link i gave you with the firmware stuff [13:19] Puppy: support@dynamode.co.uk [13:19] Puppy: It sounds like its a problem with your card.

[13:30] matt___, it may complain about missing files [13:30] What's the most ovious reason for why a utf-8 filename (in ext2) is being displayed in question marks like ?????? and so. [13:30] to fix those just create another user [13:30] <_3menda> neko I don't know the maker is ... WD mybook world 500giga [13:30] and whatever file it complains about, move to your home and take ownership [13:31] just make sure to kepe permissions the same [13:31] _3menda, is it making noise or anything? [13:31] _3menda a mybook is just one disk isn't it ? [13:31] ikonia, can be either. [13:31] 90% are single tho [13:31] neko_ never seen multiple disk mybooks [13:31] <_3menda> is only one disk ... and make the normal noise .. as any hhd [13:31] _3menda how can it be raid in only 1 disk [13:32] brbz [13:32] Hello! When I boot, occasionally it makes the partition checks. Recently I discovered it says that some partitions are about ~10% noncontiguous. What actions will it do about it?, and what actions should I do about it? And what does it mean? [13:32] its probably lvm not raid [13:32] if youve lvm2 package installed then do vgscan and some stuff like that [13:32] bbiab [13:32] Hey does any one know when the RC will be out [13:33] <_3menda> ikonia I know is strange .. .but probaly is in raid because there is a linux partition (for the boot and all this thing) and athor for data another may be for web interface [13:33] _3menda you can't have a raid system with 1 disk [13:33] <_3menda> ikonia how I can check ?? to be 100% sure ?? [13:33] _3menda I am %100 sure [13:34] <_3menda> gparted was printing FLAG raid [13:34] _3menda: you can't have a raid setup with 1 disk [13:34] ubuntu [13:35] _3menda plug the disk in and do "sudo fdisk -l" and put the output in a pastebin please. [13:35] <_3menda> so wich software I can run to see ?? [13:36] hi [13:36] <_3menda> ok one second [13:37] how do I install frame buffer devices? [13:37] filesystem (ext2) with UTF-8 filename is displayed like "??????????" . Could anyone nudge me in the right direction? [13:37] b64aa6: i'd fsck [13:38] hi! [13:38] b64aa6, it's not related to utf-8, that is fully supported by ext2/3 [13:38] joaopinto: So it's my terminal? [13:39] where do I find kernel package's changelog? I'm specifically interested in what changed between 2.6.24-19 and 2.6.24-21 [13:39] lo [13:39] <_3menda> ikonia http://paste.ubuntu.com/61504 [13:39] what time is the rc released? [13:39] is there any alternative to diald for running something when a network request is detected, and running something else when there's been no network activity? [13:39] b64aa6, most likely your FS is corrupted :P [13:39] hello all [13:40] _3menda: according tot he output of fdisk - you only have 1 drive (your system drive) the external drive appears dead / not seen [13:40] joaopinto: Filesystem is good. (at least from my winNT4) I think it's from me messing up the setting, but not sure how. === mediacenter is now known as Torway [13:40] b64aa6, erm, winnt ? winNT does not support ext2 [13:41] if you used the extfs driver for windows, it is not that stable, and it may be the root of your problem [13:41] joaopinto: It' only from the console (xterm) that's the prob. Btw, lookup ext2win (rather old softweare) that you can use to view ext filesystem from windows [13:41] im using a router and connected directly to the modem and i cant get an internet connection...works fine in windows....network is trying to connect via dhcp i think [13:41] how does that work? [13:41] <_3menda> ikonia at the moment I'm running 8.10 beta but with gentoo I saw the hhd ... [13:41] tdawgedogg your using debian, please take this to debian [13:42] <_3menda> can I go in gentoo and try againg [13:42] b64aa6, can you browse it properly from nautilus ? [13:42] _3menda: please do [13:42] yep [13:42] <_3menda> ok one sec [13:42] good grom gthumb, as well [13:42] tdawgedogg please stop asking debian questions in this channel === guiz is now known as Skhaen [13:43] joaopinto: yes [13:43] tdawgedogg: you have not joined debian since the last time we spoke about this, and have persisted to ask in this channel about debian issues. [13:43] whois Skhaen [13:43] tdawgedogg: do you understand ? [13:43] b64aa6, so it's a xterm issue :P [13:43] use gnome-terminal :P [13:43] joaopinto: i guess... [13:44] joaopinto: xconsole? [13:44] Hi, I have a sound problem that I can not seem to figure out how to solve. I have a new AMD64 bit with ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics and using a HDMI cable to connect the computer to the LCD TV that I use. I can not seem to get any sound out of the TV speakers, but when I plug in headphones into the computer the sound works just fine. I am new to Ubuntu and feel certain that this problem is due to my limited understanding of how to set up the [13:44] system with HDMI and so on. Any ideas please!? [13:44] how do i install readline? [13:45] writing: it will get installed automatically when a package needs it [13:45] how do I remove banshee and all config files, is it "sudo apt-get purge banshee -1" ? [13:45] joaopinto: thanks [13:45] tdawgedogg: please acknowledge you understand [13:46] mynameistux: sudo apt-get purge --remove package [13:46] or is it remove --purge [13:46] sure ikonia whatever man [13:46] remove --purge I think. [13:46] tdawgedogg: please join #debian - I spoke to you about this earlier and you have just ignored it [13:47] yeah remove --purge makes more sense. ( remove package then --purge configs ) [13:47] well i have been trying to install Ubuntu 8.04x64, it installs without problems, but when i reboot it stops at the boot loader [13:47] so, sudo apt-remove --purge banshee-1 right? [13:47] it's either "aptitude purge package" or "apt-get --purge remove package" [13:47] <_3menda> ikonia http://paste.ubuntu.com/61507 [13:48] mynameistux: according to LjjjL it is apt-get --ppurge remove package [13:48] _3menda ok - so the partition type is set to raid, that doesn't mean it's using raid [13:48] I'm having trouble compiling postgresql on ubuntu [13:48] <_3menda> sorry some txt will be in italian .. but I'm pretty sure that you'll reconize anyway [13:48] -p [13:48] when I ./configure it can't find readline [13:48] help [13:48] IdleOne: where you put the --purge makes no difference [13:48] although options are generally put before commands [13:48] _3menda: as root mkdir -p /mnt/mybook-disk && mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/mybook-disk [13:48] writing: why are you trying to compile postgresql? [13:48] <_3menda> so ikonia what do you subjest ? [13:48] I need to hack it [13:48] <_3menda> ok one second [13:48] writing: then you don't really want readline, but you want the development package for it [13:48] LjjjL: ok thanks [13:49] what is it called? [13:49] writing: then why don't you fetch the source package from ubuntu repositories, and hack from that, so you don't have to ask such questions, because needed packages get installed automatically? [13:49] writing: try install libreadline5-dev [13:49] writing: type "sudo apt-get build-dep < [13:49] darn ziroday [13:49] writing: type "sudo apt-get build-dep " [13:50] what package has ifconfig/ [13:50] ? [13:50] writing: that will install all the build dependencies you need (including readline). then type "apt-get source ", and you will have a directory with the source code [13:50] <_3menda> ikonia it says tha t the special devicie /dev/sdb4 doesn't exit [13:50] _3menda ls -la /dev/sdb4 === AJC_Z0-- is now known as AJC_Z0 [13:51] nvm... needed to sudo ifconfig [13:51] ok thanks [13:51] <_3menda> ikonia there is only /dev/sdb [13:52] _3menda: there is a problem with that disk then if the devices are not being created [13:52] Hi guys, when can I download the Intrepid Ibex Release Candidate, If i watch the ReleaseSchedule, he need to come today.. [13:52] <_3menda> ikonia /dev/sdb4 no such file or directory [13:52] <_3menda> so no way to make it up ?? [13:53] if you want to upgrade to it, run update-manager -d in the alt-f2 box [13:53] _3menda: you can make it but if it's not being detected and make is't self, I'd guess the the disk does have an issue [13:53] Tumie: if you want to upgrade to it, run update-manager -d in the alt-f2 box [13:53] weeeeeeeeeeeeeee [13:53] Tumie: the release candidate will arrive when the release candidate arrives :), please ask your questions in #ubuntu+1 regarding intrepid [13:54] ziroday: thanks [13:54] <_3menda> ok ikonia thanks for your help anyway .. [13:54] what's the drill for compiling software? make, make deps, make install? [13:54] is that right? [13:54] writing, it depends on the software, check the README or INSTALL doc [13:54] writing: ./configure [13:54] ls [13:55] usually, its, ./configure; ./make; ./make instal [13:55] joaopinto: no ./ for make makeinstall' [13:55] ops, sorry, neither for make [13:55] :P [13:55] ok be back breakfaast [13:55] hi, i don't know what happened I just restarted my system after installing some image manip tools (i believe it was imagemagick and nbpm or something like that) and now upon boot im presented with a text login. I can run openbox,. but KDE was somehow uninstalled... i reinstalled kdebase-bin and kdm, but kdm doesn't give me the kde session on login ? Any idea how to fix this ? Thanks === bananin is now known as Guest9949 [13:58] writing: no, "apt-get source package", edit the source, "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b" [13:58] quick question, if i reinstall ubuntu without formatting my home directory... will it keep the program settings etc.. ? [13:58] hey guys, isn't there a program that picks the fastest mirrors for sources.list for you? I tried to google it but I couldn't find it, anyone know? [13:58] i just found out this Adept piece of crap package manager uninstalled almost EVERYTHING on my system ! Even stuff like yakuake terminal and conky...! [13:59] blip-: if you do keep your home directory, yes, but it's not trivial to tell the installer to keep it... i believe you'll need the alternate cd for that [13:59] blip-: kubuntu-desktop is the package you want [13:59] blip-: uh, then just type "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" to get stuff restored [13:59] stork: apt-spy is a commandline program to do that. You can also use the software sources program to find the fastest mirror for you as well [13:59] oh [14:00] ziroday: the software sources program? [14:00] lemme check. i hope i don't have to reinstall. i am really sick of reinstalling linux everytime something breaks instead of fixing it :( [14:00] stork: you can find in the menu System > Administration > Software Sources [14:00] blip-, you are advised to read the list of what is about to be removed before clicking "Yes" ! [14:00] blip-: then don't... i haven't reinstalled my Kubuntu in years [14:00] stork: there is an option there i believe that automatically sets the fasters mirror. but you are better of selecting it manually [14:01] blip-: the option selects the closest mirror IIRC not necessarily the fastest [14:02] but manual selection of mirror works better for me also [14:02] bye all, will be in ubuntu=1 [14:02] +1 [14:02] + [14:02] w/e [14:02] mynameistux: thanks for the warning [14:03] gotta plugin the ethernet cable. will be back to report . thanks [14:03] wonder why an app like imagemagik would remove kde [14:03] cheers guys, I found a mirror run by my ISP :) === bananin is now known as Guest94250 === Guest94250 is now known as Basti_dash [14:04] which packages do i install to update my kernel?

[14:11] LjjjL, I'm reading the bug report, wherein it was stated that it's been removed from ubuntu >= feisty. Maybe I'm misinterpreting something :) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-spy/+bug/1780 [14:11] charles:when the Options come on screen to " Try Ubuntu" or Install Ubuntu you type in ( all_generic_ide ) and then select Try Ubuntu [14:11] IdleOne, currently trying to boot with noapic flag, getting tons of errors [14:11] IdleOne, oki [14:11] charles: Now root does not have "Human", but another, uglier. [14:12] hi everyone [14:12] LjjjL, I'm guessing someone decided that it would be unacceptable to have to update the package whenever the list of mirrors changed [14:12] amikrop, why do you want root to have a theme anyway? [14:12] charles: if that works then test the cd. also using the Alternate Install cd might work better for you [14:12] amikrop, you need to move the gtk conf files too [14:12] IdleOne, i have never hadt this problem before [14:12] charles: things happen :) [14:13] Oki restarting [14:13] charles: where are they?

[14:18] bahadunn, once its out it should be pretty stablen ubuntu is not mandriva ;p [14:18] IdleOne, it alot slower then previus maybe this time it will boot :=) [14:18] bahadunn, correct [14:18] 8.04.1 was much better from what I understand [14:18] cens0red: the drive where you extracted the source is FAT32, right?

[14:22] Flyzoola: Can you boot Ubuntu in recovery mode?

[14:22] but the devices is functioning properly right ikonia [14:22] ? [14:23] IdleOne, crap i thing its hung itself... [14:23] that's what I thought yesterday, i didn't need a new driver, it\s all about the encryption.. [14:23] charles: what version of ubuntu you using? [14:23] erki: Well, before it boots up I press esc, and I get to chose from a list. 4 out of the 6 options don't work. The other two only take me to my login manager. After I log in, I am not taken to my desktop. [14:23] IdleOne, you know any other way to replace the kernels in /boot without beeing able to boot the live cd ? [14:24] Flyzoola: Is backing up and reformatting an option? That's what I used to do with Windows, anyway :) [14:24] charles: I don't know how you would install a package without being able to boot or mount the drive [14:24] IdleOne, i cant mount the drive [14:24] IdleOne, i _CAN_ (typo) [14:24] ikonia, does that mean I should install that WPA supplicant thing? or not... [14:25] hi all !! [14:25] not sure, hand on heart [14:25] erki, well my CD-Rom drive doesn't work. And I think backing everything up is going to be impossible now, since I can't access my desktop anyway. I mean, after I log in, I get sent to a blank screen. I can see my cursor, but nothing more. [14:25] charles:how? [14:25] hi akin0o [14:25] Flyzoola: Wait wait, you get to the graphical login? [14:25] IdleOne, Super grub diskt [14:25] on a 64 bit processor is 64 linux much faster than 32 bit linux ? [14:25] can anyone help me about sharing folders between windows and ubuntu?? [14:25] did anyone try time vault? [14:26] IdleOne, its got a gentoo system on it [14:26] ola pessoal [14:26] podem me tirar uma duvida?

For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [14:26] anyhow.thanks ikonia..thank you for your help..truly appreciate it.. [14:26] charles: does gentoo boot? if so boot to gentoo then mount your ubuntu partiton and fix what you need to fix. Don't ask me how #gentoo might be of help to you [14:26] redheat_: dudb;t help much, don't use wpa much so don't know much about it [14:27] nah friend, don't say that ...at least I know where the syslog is lol... [14:27] IdleOne, main problem is how do i get the kernels for Ubuntu ? [14:27] erki, yes. I can get to my graphical login. But you know after you log in how you get the little ubuntu splashscreen that has what's being loaded? I don't get that. I just get taken to a blank (well, peach-colored) screen with my cursor [14:27] charles: packages.ubuntu.com [14:27] I can't click or anything, though, but I can move it around [14:27] I spent 8 hours yesterday trying to figure a driver for my wireless adapter card and for nothing.. [14:27] it's an encryption problem [14:28] Flyzoola: When you get to the graphical login, try presssing ctrl+alt+f1 (or maybe f5) and you will get a terminal login. If you can login there we might be able to do something. [14:28] hopefully they'll fix that in the next relief..by the way this problem didn't exist in the previous version..7.10 never ever did it happen, and I always use WPA..never WEP [14:28] pls anyone can help me ?? [14:29] erki: alright, I am going to try it now. I have the computer in another room, but I will let you know once that is tried. I'll be right back [14:29] erki, pvt [14:29] !samba > akin0o [14:29] akin0o, please see my private message [14:29] How do I set my background to a completely black one?

( sorry bout the caps ) [14:30] I have a 64 bit CPU (AMD Athlon x2 5400) and wondering if the there is a significant speed increase in using 64 bit version of ubuntu instead of the 32 bit version [14:30] akin0o: you need to share the windows folder from windows [14:31] idelone: i've did that!!! but from other windows terminals i see them, from ubuntu one not [14:32] akin0o: read the link ubottu gave you it might help. I don't use windows or share with windows [14:32] haaaaalloooooooooo [14:32] anyone know if I could use the restricted drivers for an ATI Technologies Inc RV515 [Radeon X1300].. I want 3D support.. Anytime I try to use the restricted drivers, I lose my display... [14:32] Hello friend, just install ubuntu, say can be an intermediate users .. the problem is that the sound n works, says that "you do not have the correct plug-in of GStreamer installed, or you do not have a sound card set up." [14:32] hi, how to register nick? sorry, i am new in here [14:32] IdleOne: ok thx [14:32] hey..I m trying to compile a driver for msi wind wifi but I get this errormake: *** /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/build: No such file or directory. Stop. [14:33] am I missing any pkg? [14:33] md22_: I would guess not so much, but that depends on what way you use the compute. [14:33] erki, yes! I was able to get a terminal (It looks like a windows Command line, yes?) Should I log in completly? [14:33] hallo did somone know how to stream vmwhd video to xbox 360 ?

But at least we know you can access your system. Might be a good idea to backup any important files while it's still possible [14:36] md22_: Without any formal education in the subject, I will venture a guess: You won't notice any performance enhancements. [14:36] ok [14:36] erki, hahaha do you think I can run anything through this? Or can I fix the kernel through this? [14:37] which command using grep can I use to find all the matches for a given name (eg. name) in the file names and within the source of each file of a given folder ? [14:37] !twat | jgoguen [14:37] thanks for response erki. i greatly appreciate it [14:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about twat [14:37] hahaha [14:37] hey.. someone here has the netgear wn11 usb wi card? [14:37] Flyzoola: If there is any way you can fix it, this is the way :) [14:37] WN111 [14:37] Is it possible to get a pre-compiled version of Gnome-PPP? [14:37] md22_: x64 seems to be good for two things nowadays: Running 64-bit apps and handling more than 3.something GB ram [14:37] ANYONE (just for you jgoguen) know if I could use the restricted drivers for an ATI Technologies Inc RV515 [Radeon X1300].. I want 3D support.. Anytime I try to use the restricted drivers, I lose my display... [14:37] erki, sweet :D do you know of any guides I might follow to fix this? I've looked around, but found nothing [14:38] Flyzoola: I have no idea. You should probably try to get more info out of the "kernel panic" message. [14:38] erki:ok [14:38] Flyzoola: And then google for it. Or paste it here, and see if anyone has a clue. [14:38] hi, i'm trying to install the lastest 177 drivers from nvidia... the setup tells me i am missing the kernel module and offers to download and compile it. should i let it, or i should use some package in the ubuntu 8.04 repos ? thanks [14:38] Flyzoola: Personally I'm more of a "nuke-and-pave" person :) [14:38] which command using grep can I use to find all the matches for a given name (eg. name) in the file names and within the source of each file of a given folder ? [14:39] Can anyone enlighten me on how to preseed the answers to the questions about the private encrypted homedir and the landscape client in the Intrepid installer? [14:39] erki, as am I, but without a CD rom drive, backing everything up is going to be hard. Ideally, I'd just start over fresh, but that's not possible right now haha. I just need to know how to fix the kernel. [14:40] Jane_ux: i think you want something like "grep -r ." this will recursively search all files in the current directory and below it. [14:40] The error I get at startup is "12.090335 kernel panic-not syncing:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block (0,0)" [14:40] Jane_ux: add -i to ignore case [14:41] blip: thanks [14:41] blid: but this also apply to the file name??

A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [14:42] hmm, sorry i didn't understand you last time. you want to look for occurrence of a word inside the names of files... hmm [14:43] Jane_ux: ^ [14:44] blip: yes, inside the file but also in the file name [14:44] Jane_ux: not sure if this works, but try pipping the output of ls. so do ls -l | gawk{$4} | grep [14:44] blip: ok thanks [14:44] Jane_ux: you're welcome [14:44] Why does this not work: find . -type f -exec iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8 {} > {} \; [14:44] Flyzoola: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42869 [14:44] blip: but now do you know any script to find all the matches and replace them with other string?? [14:45] Flyzoola: Supposedly it's trying to boot from the wrong drive or something. But that should be unrelated to the fact that you cannot login using the graphical interface...

[14:52] ramon I don't use sox to be honest, so I've no idea off the top of my head [14:52] ip route add 83.12.213.10 via 127.0.0.1 will null route hacking attempts from that ip as opposed to iptables -D INPUT -s 83.12.213.10 -j DROP which drops the packets right? [14:52] ikonia have you ever burn a music cd? [14:52] ramonyup [14:52] ramon: yup [14:52] im lookin at upgrading my ubuntu box. Im looking at installing my os on a software based Raid 5. But my question is i currently have another raid 5 array built when i do the reinstall will i loose the other array ( Its on its own raid card only contains data and it as well is another software base raid setup) [14:53] ikonia how you make the songs play the same volume? [14:53] Doonznix linux software raid, or fakeraid [14:53] um its using mdadm [14:53] ramon: just use gnome baker they all came out at the same volume [14:53] erki, I'm lost haha I just read over that but that didn't make any sense. I don't know what GRUB is. I just wish to be able to actually access my PC through the GUI. Is it the kernel or what? [14:53] Doonznix: great ! good choice [14:53] ikonia is that a cd burner? [14:53] Doonznix: you shouldn't lose your raid config, backup /etc/mdadm.conf to make certain though [14:54] ramon: correct [14:54] so i should be able to just reinstall ubuntu using the alternative cd and create my os raid set and then just remount the other raid array? [14:54] ikonia, thanks i will try that [14:54] Doonznix you may have to manually start the array the first time, but yes, that should be it [14:55] perfect [14:55] * Doonznix runs off to order his new parts [14:55] hello [14:55] Hi Guys [14:55] Hi! When I lock my screen, my screensaver shows up. But when I then hit a key to get the unlock window, the unlock window is invisible and/or flickering, I can however enter my password. How can I get rid of the flickering? [14:56] anyone using exaile? I want the global hotkeys to work, not happening so much [14:58] kunwon1: woops never used apt-spy on ubuntu myself. Had always used it on debian though and thought it would work nicely. I was obviously wong [14:58] I get keyboard delays when my system has been on for 3-6 hours ~(with no real reason - app wise) and wont go away untill I reboot...Now I discovered that if I unplug the keyboard from my front USB port and plug it in the back the problem goes away without rebooting. so I figured that the problem lies in my front USB port... is this fixable? my cord isnt long enough to be plugged in the back of my puter === sTepHEn is now known as Guest46307 [14:59] i really need to free 10gb for a ubuntu partition? [14:59] Skyfury: no. you can install it in about 9.93GB [14:59] so its 9.93gb + 2gb swap ? [15:00] Skyfury: lol [15:00] Guys what format should the boot partion be? [15:00] no? [15:00] hi all [15:00] Skyfury: 10GB will give you a comfortable amount of space to install and try out lots of different stuff and not have to worry about it [15:00] thats what i read [15:01] hmn okay, whats the minimun instead? [15:01] Skyfury: and then, allocate about twice your physical ram as swap [15:01] Hi everyone. I'm trying to change permission on a mounted hard drive. the file system is a linux file system. Can anyone tell me what line I should add in Fstab? [15:01] did the rc is out? [15:01] how do I correctly change from dhcp to static IP? I have in /etc/network/interfaces auto lo and iface lo inet loopback [15:01] Skyfury: depends on what you install. [15:01] w0ls0n: man 5 interfaces [15:02] How do you fix the "kernel panic" error when ubuntu is loading up? This happens to me since I upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10. I don't get graphical access to my PC, but I can access the graphical user login. I am also able to access through terminal, but I don't know how I'd fix my problem. [15:02] Flyzoola: any more info on the panic? [15:02] ne2k__, thats, exactly what I was looking for === marko_ is now known as marko-_- [15:02] just a clean desktop system + i'm interested in this xgl [15:02] polo [15:02] :-P [15:02] w0ls0n: if you don't have anything about auto eth0 in your /etc/network/interfaces, though, you may be using something different [15:02] w0ls0n: can't remember what it's called... roaming mode or something [15:03] I have in /etc/network/interfaces auto lo and iface lo inet loopback [15:03] w0ls0n: are you using graphical desktop? go to the network icon in the top bar and click on manual configuration, then change it in there [15:03] Flyzoola: Sorry about the late reply: Grub is the "boot manager". It seems to have some trouble finding the correct drive to boot from. [15:03] ah yea [15:03] thanks. Didn't think of that. [15:03] nek2__, it says "12.090335 kernel panic-not syncing:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block (0,0)" [15:03] What could possible cause a ubuntu 8.04.1 install to randomly right click at times? [15:04] ay^: faulty mouse? does it do it with the mouse unplugged? [15:04] ne2k__: yep, its on a laptop Dell 1525, does it with or without USB-mouse plugged in [15:04] Flyzoola: you need to check that you are passing the correct partition name to the kernel in grub [15:04] erki, can you elaborate :o [15:04] ay^: ah, laptop. built in trackpad or nipple? can you turn those off in the bios? [15:04] or lets clear first - xgl works with ubuntu 8.04.1 ? if yes whats the minimum space required for this install i want to do? [15:05] nek2__, how do I do that. Is there a simple guide to follow? I'm not very ubuntu savvy [15:05] ikonia - ok i got it workign on windows [15:05] Flyzoola: my nick is ne2k__ ;-) can you past your /boot/grub/menu.lst in the pastebin? [15:05] ne2k__: trackpad, I haven't tried disabling them, will give it a shot next reboot and see what gives. Thanks for the pointer :) [15:05] ikonia - now for Ubuntu ( i can smell the end ) [15:06] ay^: pointer, hah! [15:06] Flyzoola: I'll just build on what ne2k__ said: Log in to the terminal and type "sudo cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" [15:06] ne2k__: you are the first one ever to give me any kind of direction on this matter :) [15:06] erki: I have a feeling that he can't boot it [15:06] ay^: no, as in, like pointer, mouse, pointer, get it? [15:07] Flyzoola: I'm guessing it won't be possible to copy-paste anything since it's on the other computer, but we are most likely only interested in a few lines anyway [15:07] ikonia - its a 108Mbps High Speed wireless network adapter [15:07] ne2k__ and erki, ok, I'll come back in a bit with the info. [15:07] Flyzoola: Nononon [15:07] ne2k__: haha! I actuallt didn't get it at first, what a shame :) [15:07] Flyzoola: menu.lst is LONG [15:07] Flyzoola: you also need to find out what partition you are trying to boot [15:07] That computer is just Ubuntu [15:07] I don't have any other OS on it [15:07] me too [15:08] anyone good with xchat? [15:08] Flyzoola: it would appear that you are trying to boot (hd0,0) (i.e. hda1), but that is not where your disk is [15:08] trying to figure out how i can see who is all in the channel [15:08] ne2k__ so is there a way I can figure out where it is, and correct it? [15:09] Flyzoola: Could you check if that menu.lst has any "root (x,y)" under a line saying "Ubuntu 7.04"? Preferrably one of those choices that made it possible to log in. [15:09] Flyzoola: well, which partition is your root partition? [15:10] guys, is there a way to make ubuntu reload /etc/resolv.conf [15:10] only it wont resolve any hostnames [15:10] but can ping the ip [15:10] just get host unknown when pinging a hostname [15:10] ne2k__ I don't remember, I haven't messed around with my installation in over a year === shyam_k`` is now known as shyam_k [15:10] Flyzoola: it's normally done with root=UUID=... parameter to the kernel now, rather than anything else. this means that you can move the disk around between controllers and it will still work [15:10] Hello, I get a problem on PPP connection. Would you please help me. [15:10] XB23: what is in /etc/resolv.conf? there is no need to "reload" it -- it's read each time [15:11] ne2k__ I'm lost haha I'll see if I can get the lines from the .lst [15:11] mornin, why when I go to save a text document in my text editor do I see all these directories that start with "."

Write down or remember the title of the menu choice that allows you to log in (terminal). 2. Look for that title in menu.lst. 3.

[15:19] join /#ubuntu-it [15:19] andros: "/join #ubuntu-it" [15:19] joaopinto: nobody answers even as much as you did there, is Hardy and Intrepid's handing of language locales is vastly different?

[15:20] lemme try [15:20] erm, your system= your issue [15:20] hmm.. when I do a search in Songbird, a beta media player, it not only stops responding, itself, but also gnome takes a short coffee break until the search is finished. Isn't gnome supposed to be continue working even though one application misbehaves a bit? [15:20] joaopinto: you cant get OOo v 3 to install on Hardy? [15:21] yes ping fine [15:21] Frijolie1, oh OOO3, that is not on the official repositories [15:21] XB23: how are you connecting to the internet? is there a firewall in the way? [15:21] joaopinto: so you can't "support" anything that's not in the official repos? [15:21] Frijolie1, you will need to ask to whoever provides those packages.... [15:21] Hi, I have a sound problem that I can not seem to figure out how to solve. I have a new AMD64 bit with ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics and using a HDMI cable to connect the computer to the LCD TV that I use. I can not seem to get any sound out of the TV speakers, but when I plug in headphones into the computer the sound works just fine. I am new to Ubuntu and feel certain that this problem is due to my limited understanding of how to set up the [15:21] system with HDMI and so on. Any ideas please!? [15:21] just via standard ipconfig [15:22] no firewalls in the way [15:22] anyone know why, since i went up to intrepid, the "places" in my menu don't open in nautilus, instead they launch audacious [15:22] ? [15:22] Frijolie1, nope, because most of use do not have those packages installs to do testing, and we have no idea on how those packages were built, you will get better help from whoever provides them... [15:22] Torway: you need to find out what device is representing the HDMI sound interface, and select that for sound output [15:22] erki, this is the information you need, I believe: "Ubuntu 7.10 Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic root: (hd0,0) [15:22] saint-takeshi: try asking in #ubuntu+1, that's where the intrepid people hang [15:22] saint-takeshi, please ask on #ubuntu+1 [15:22] hello === chaky_ is now known as chaky [15:22] i have an ubuntu server stable and i need install tcl8.5 [15:22] joaopinto: ok, that's a fair statement. [15:23] ne2k: how do I go about finding out that? [15:23] where can i find it? repos only has 8.5 [15:23] Torway: it will probably be a different device from the one that drives the headphone output on the front. if not, it will probably be handled through a mixer, and you might have to do something in the BIOS (unlikely) [15:23] ei [15:23] !list [15:23] Hi!

[15:24] Torway: go to system->preferences->sound->devices and see what devices are listed under the sound playback section dropdown [15:24] which to use what is difference [15:24] marnanel: man apt-get [15:24] oh yeah real sexy, ubuNext is ;)) [15:24] marnanel: not sure.. but you can check out packages.ubuntu.com if you just want a single package or something [15:24] saint-takeshi, the nautilus version on intrepid is different, so yes, your question is related to intrepid ;) [15:25] XB23: can you dig @66.90.68.15 www.google.com [15:25] ne2k__ so how do I find which partition is my root partition?

Probably use Qt4 as well. Your thoughts? Suggestions? [15:25] XB23: btw, you never pastebinned your /etc/resolv.conf [15:25] Flyzoola: cat /etc/mtab, there should be a line for the root partition [15:25] is there a difference bewteeen auth.log and security? if not what is the standart one? [15:25] yes that works fine ne2k [15:25] Flyzoola: or sudo blkid [15:25] Flyzoola: You said you press esc at boot. What exactly does the line say that allows you to log in through the terminal?

Booting to the new kernel fails with "Unable to mount root fs". 2. Booting to the old kernel makes it to the graphical login, but hangs. Terminal login ok. 3. menu.lst hast the same root and kernel-"root=" settings for both the new and the old kernel.

[16:16] wenas [16:16] histo: it is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/61553/ [16:16] v0lksman_: basically you would have to edit your sources.list and then do a dist-upgrade [16:16] admin_masu3701: yes [16:17] do you guys think if I upgrade through the terminal login (since I can't get graphical) the problem will go away?? [16:17] ubottu: the paste link is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/61553/ [16:18] Puppy what error [16:18] hi. trying to mount a cifs share. i do chmod 777 /mnt/blah then do mount //ip/blah /mnt/blah -t cifs -o username=blah,password=blah. when i do ls -l /mnt it tells me /mnt/blah is mode 700. if i chmod 777, ls -l shows 777, but it goes back to 700 after a little while :S anybody know what could be wrong? [16:18] ikonia, ill tell you when the next one finishes [16:18] ubottu!! is alive!! [16:18] how do i reset uids for nfs? [16:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about is alive!! [16:18] Gothfunc your changing permissions on the mount point, not the mount it's self [16:18] i changed it and i still dont have permisions [16:18] scientus_ reset ? [16:18] admin_masu3701: yeah you have all that garbage from automatix down at the bottem. [16:19] admin_masu3701: if your using automatix, I suggest you re-install [16:19] over nfs [16:19] nfs is a kernal thing so i have no idea, no service to restart [16:19] ikonia: sorry... could you read my problem again? [16:19] Anyone know of ubuntu friendly audiobook sales sites? [16:19] do i have to restart [16:19] ikonia: unless i'm missing something which is possible, permissions shouldn't change themselves [16:20] ikonia, E: driverloader: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [16:20] iknonia: i did try to delete it and reinstall...but nothing seem to work...I am kinda new to linux [16:20] admin_masu3701: http://paste.ubuntu.com/61554/ [16:20] Gothfunc if you have a dir say "/mnt" and you change it's permissions, thats great, however when you mount something on /mnt it takes the permissions of the disk you've just mounted, not the disk mount point you just chmodded [16:20] Puppy: have you fixed the sudo problem [16:20] admin_masu3701: That one is fixed I removed the last few lines of all the automatix garbage. Don't use it its bad. And also intrepid support is in #ubuntu+1 [16:21] v0lksman_: what version are you upgrading from and to? [16:21] ikonia, yes sir [16:21] i need help in reporting a bug for intrepid.. [16:21] well, i did what you said [16:21] ikonia: so ubuntu automatically changes permissions of the mount point back to 700 on purpose? [16:21] ikonia: but not straight away, but after a while? [16:21] ikonia: like a few hours [16:22] histo: so replace that new sources.list with that one? [16:22] first need to know if anyone else has this problem or it's already reported [16:22] Gothfunc no if you unmount it you'll see the permissions change, but while it's mounted you'll see the permissons are the permissions of the mounted disk - NOT the mount point [16:22] Puppy: as a test do "sudo apt-get update" what happens [16:22] wolfie2x: intrepid help is channel #ubuntu+1 [16:22] work day over. now for afterwork :) bye bye you guys. [16:22] admin_masu3701 if you've used automatix I suggest you do a clean install [16:22] legend: isn't that only for developers? [16:22] ikonia: how to do so [16:23] admin_masu3701: yes but I would back up your old one first just in case you need it. sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list~ then replace /etc/apt/sources.list with the new one.

See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubottu WorksForMe » [16:24] ikonia: hold on, i'll pastebin [16:24] v0lksman_: basically you need to run the following command: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list~ && sudo sed -e 's/\fiesty/ gutsy/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:24] map network drive in intrepig?

[16:25] ubottu: am confused now..should i re-install the Os or just replace the old sources.list with the new one you pasted? [16:25] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:25] admin_masu3701: please go to #ubuntu+1 for support you are running the development version of ubuntu and its supported there. Also don't use automatix [16:25] <_mndo_> joaopinto, now you should not have any more problems with m nick :) [16:25] no i use nvidia 7200GS [16:26] ikonia, amsn xvnc [16:26] whats the problem? [16:26] admin_masu3701 re-install the whole OS [16:26] my sudoers file contains 'Defaults env_keep = "PATH"', but when I sudo my path doesn't appear to be preserved. what am I doing wrong? [16:26] admin_masu3701: jsut replace the sources.list with the one I gave you. [16:26] misl what sort of problems do you have? [16:26] admin_masu3701: and sudo aptitude update [16:26] Puppy: ok, so if you do "sudo apt-get install amsn" please paste teh whole thing into a pastebin [16:26] my resolution is very low [16:26] histo: and I am not ubottu I'm a real person. [16:26] I upgraded from Ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10 last night and now I can't boot up :/. I get the error "kernel panic-not syncinc:VFS:unable to mount root fs". Booting to the old kernel makes it to the graphical login, but hangs... I can log in through terminal. the menu.lst has the same root and kernel-"root=" setting for both the new and old kernels. How can I fix this so I can get on my computer again? [16:26] admin_masu3701: if you've used automatix - a clean install is the only way to go back to known "good" state ubuntu isntall that can be supported [16:26] ikonia, amsn is already installed [16:26] misl: are you using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers? [16:26] go to the tab hardware drivers [16:26] and enable it [16:26] do you guys think if I upgrade through the terminal login (since I can't get graphical) the problem will go away?? [16:26] ikonia, the install works fine, it just throws that error [16:26] Puppy ok, so lets do a test [16:27] I don't know how to install them [16:27] ill install summin else [16:27] Puppy: do "sudo apt-get install conky" and pastebin it [16:27] just click it [16:27] hi! I've written udev rule for automounting usb-drive. but when it actually strikes, a volume is mounted and no files named with national characters can be seen. [16:27] Flyzoola: did you get any errors? [16:27] histo: ok but when i open the sources. list with with kwrite i cant save it..it wont let me save any changes [16:27] can u please guide me [16:27] off topic: anyone knows what a varta battery costs? cold test count over 500 [16:27] adedov udev doesn't mount, hal/debus does, udev just creates a device node [16:28] GaMbi_DK: join #ubuntu-offtopic [16:28] admin_masu3701: open a terminal and type in : sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list~ && gksudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list [16:28] ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m12cae62a [16:28] mis1: do you use nvidia geforce 4? [16:28] admin_masu3701: or copy and paste that in to a terminal. [16:28] ikonia: I could not found how to make hal mount device specified in fstab [16:28] ikonia, cool app [16:28] misl: Try installing a program called envy, it should automate the process mostly. [16:28] mis1: system System properties, or something then hardware drivers or something [16:29] Flyzoola: did you get any errors during the upgrade or experience any problems? [16:29] Puppy its teh driver loader application thats erroringt [16:29] histo: what do you mean? Whenever I try to boot up I get "kernel panic-not syncing:VFS:unable to mount root fs on unkown-block (0,0)" I guess that can be considered an erro etc. [16:29] ikonia: http://rafb.net/p/KeS9nZ35.html [16:29] Puppy: where did you get that package "linuxant DriverLoader" [16:29] i don't know [16:29] histo: I don't recall any errors throught the installation. I was sleeping while it updated [16:29] ikonia, thats how i solved the wireless problem [16:29] Gothfunc ok I see [16:29] i have very big fonts and most of my menus are hidden [16:29] don't install envy if you can click those restricted thing on the hardware stuff [16:29] Puppy I asked where you got that application [16:30] i can open terminal [16:30] its in fact a single click, and i never had to use envy for ubuntu with a 7300 [16:30] ikonia, erm... [16:30] ikonia, linuxant.com [16:30] my resolution is ver very low [16:30] Gothfunc the only thing I can suggest (and this is based on no fact just previous issues) is that the nas mount is going state so actually "unmounting", and when you next use it, it's re-mounting [16:30] Flyzoola: do you have initrd-tools installed on the system? [16:30] Puppy: there is the proble, your using a 3rd party product thats not fully compatible [16:30] how do i remove :p [16:31] ikonia: ah interesting thought [16:31] hi anyone knows how to mount a mac osx installation disc? im here on ubuntu livecd and want to copy a file from the disc to my mac. i read about sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom but that fails with hfs unable to find hfs superblock [16:31] Gothfunc same as "stale NFS mount" hanging a system, [16:31] gotcha ok [16:31] jaja [16:31] admin_masu3701, or edit the file: "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list".. it should allow you to save changes :) (sorry if i missed the point) [16:31] ikonia, how can i remove it lol [16:31] I'm having lots of network connections now (server timeout), but only on some internet pages. Pings work nice. Any idea why? [16:31] Puppy: do you know the package name you used to install it [16:31] histo: I don't believe I do. Not if it'd not bundled with ubuntu I don't [16:32] i didnt install from package, i dled [16:32] Flyzoola: are you on the machine now? [16:32] histo: i did replace it ... so should i try to run apt-get update now? [16:32] ikonia: mystery solved i guess. i have a user on this machine and a user on the nas but the ids differ, (1000 on this machine and 1002 on the nas). any idea how i can fix that? [16:32] Puppy you downloaded it, it must have installed as it's in your syanptic reop [16:32] admin_masu3701: yes but first you need to join #ubuntu+1 I can't talk about intrepid in here any longer. [16:32] Gothfunc the only way around that is to sync the two uid's or use an external service like ldap/nis to make a common uid schema [16:32] how can i delete a file? terminal cmd? [16:32] I have a graphic problem i installed driver but i am unable to change resolution [16:33] del doesnt work [16:33] HDready: rm filename [16:33] ;) [16:33] rm [16:33] kk ty [16:33] ikonia: at the moment synching would be best [16:33] rm blah [16:33] histo: ok thank you [16:33] rm bananas [16:33] Gothfunc create a new user witht he matching id, remove the old user, rename the new user [16:33] histo: no, I'm on another computer. I've been going back and forth on it all morning haha so it's no deal. Do you need any info for it [16:33] ? [16:33] del is qdos stuff [16:33] and rm is unix [16:33] ikonia: gotcha. thanks :) [16:33] ikonia, its gone [16:33] ikonia: i have a serious graphic problem can u help me [16:34] mis1 sorry no [16:34] mis1: i told ya what to do [16:34] enable the hardwre driver in the settings [16:34] mis1 I'm a little busy at the moment and a few people have offered you sound advice [16:34] Flyzoola: well on the broken computer try doing a dpkg-reconfigure of the linux-image-`uname -r` [16:34] ikonia: given that the user is the first user defined in the installation, will anything break if i remove it? [16:34] histo: i did update with not return errors...so i guess it works now [16:34] Flyzoola: actually scratch that you don't need to get in to that. [16:34] Gothfunc yes, you need to make sure the new user is in the same grups (gid) as the old one, and most importantly make sure its' in the "admin" group so that you can use sudo [16:35] Flyzoola: try to reinstall the kernel and update-grub [16:35] alteregoa: i am inable to what u said me to do. okay how dow i detect whether i have geforce 4 using terminal [16:35] sometime i smell ubuntus [16:35] ok I'm annoyed now... I'm trying to connect to a remote mysql database. Both hosts are ubuntu 8.04 and I'm trying to do this to get a remote frontend working with mythtv. Anyways, I commented out the bind address on both my local and remote server but when I connect to the remote host (WOLFMEDIA or 192.168.0.107) it continuously thinks I'm trying to connect to the local host still. If I telnet to port 3306 it works just fine. and if I stop the m [16:35] Gothfunc: if the users gid's match up with the old user, nothing will break [16:35] ikonia: sure, but will it matter that there is no 1000 id anymore? [16:35] mis1: it doesn't matter if you have a geforce 4 or not [16:35] okay [16:35] wolfspirit make sure you use mysql -h hostname [16:35] Gothfunc nope [16:35] mis1: i just ask you because the geforce4 series doesn't work with the "new" ubuntu [16:35] alteregoa:so what do i do know....... [16:35] ikonia: cool cheers :) [16:35] histo, how do I re-install the kernel and update-grub? [16:36] mis1: go to the system properties [16:36] histo: how to i join #ubuntu+1 [16:36] and find a hardware, or restricted drivers icon [16:36] ikonia: yup using mysql -u root -h wolfspirit.homelinux.org -p [16:36] Flyzoola: the problem may just be with your /boot/grub/menu.1st file on the system. But with out seeing the file its hard to tell. [16:36] i cannot my graphics are too clogged [16:36] wolfspirit and it thinks your connecting on localhost/ [16:36] lol [16:36] Flyzoola: type in update-grub [16:36] ikonia: yeah... but only if the remote mysql server is on..

No, but I did pull out the PCI card and reboot, that worked perfectly, 3 reboots in a raw... It's definitely has something to do with the RTL-8185 card... I am getting some error messages on the reboot that it could not reset the essid to ''. [16:47] Flyzoola: okay. does the new one have a similary line just with the updated version numbers of 2.6.whatever [16:47] ok danke# [16:47] histo: but the new kernel is missing that particual line. Should I still run the grub-update? [16:47] Flyzoola: yes. grub-update will try to recreate your menu.1st automatically is all. [16:47] something like that is output /dev/md0 2.8T 990G 1.7T 38% /media/daten [16:47] histo: Can u help solve my graphic problem [16:48] Flyzoola: after grub-update is done check the menu.1st and you will need that initrd line for the new kernel. I'm just hoping it will add it for you.

[16:49] histo: ok. so just run at terminal "grub-update". Once that is done, do you need the new kernel initrd or should it work? [16:49] ikonia, time to start customising the gui :d [16:49] TheBarold, I did but it seems like on the RTL-8185 drivers for XP is working using ndiswrapper. I've just re-installed it, connection is more stable but it still getting stuck on reboot... [16:49] ikonia, maybe i try to code an IRC capable of installing no named script [16:50] ikonia, thanks for the help, i ReALLY need to sleep now lol [16:50] Flyzoola: yes run "update-grub" at a terminal. Like I explained it should add the initrd line you need. but you can check yourself after it is done. [16:50] Puppy seeing as you can't code I'd put that on the back burner [16:50] Puppy: no problem [16:50] TheBarold: I think it might has something to do with Ubuntu trying to reset the card configuration (like I said, there is an error message about resetting the essid to '')... [16:51] i'm running a web server that's heavily loaded.. lots of the data on it is dynamic data that has to be generated upon the different requests.. i know there's tools to remedy this situation and make it scale much better.. what do i need to look at?

The thing is, it's completly freezes, I can't even do Alt+Ctrl+Del to reboot again once it freezes, so it tells me it's a complete hardware deadlock.

[17:37] Flyzoola: Like I said it soundslike you are missing some packages particularly the inittramfs-tools [17:37] Flyzoola: sry one t there. [17:37] zamba: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3 [17:37] histo: well I figured that if I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 through the terminal, that might fix the problems :/ [17:38] someone has experience VPS Proxy? [17:38] histo, I tried getting the initramfs-tools, but it said I gotta disable something... and I don't know exactly what it is [17:38] cabrioleur: ok thanks [17:38] !french > cabrioleur [17:38] cabrioleur, please see my private message [17:38] good morning #ubuntu [17:38] !french | Wind67 [17:39] Wind67: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[17:39] Flyzoola: if you have a seperate /home partition just reinstall fresh and tag but don't format the /home partition.. that's the easiest way to fix what's going on.. if you don't have a separate /home.. make one and move your files there.

[17:50] kk [17:50] tomahowk: /j #xubuntu [17:50] nixbox: if you want a nice .deb package of the kernel... Intrepid has it. Otherwise... anyone can upgrade their own kernel if needed.... [17:51] ah tahnk you action =D [17:51] nixbox: but it requires some work... and practice... [17:51] tomahowk: this is the same with all irc clients [17:51] Some require the whole /join instead of the shorthand /j [17:52] lame [17:52] is it Possible to Instant Message people using the Terminal? Such as if I wanted to send someone a quick message and his IP was x.x.x.x could I do that? [17:52] actionparsnip never used IRC clients before XD [17:52] nixbox: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [17:52] Ok, I have a truely geeky question for all of you very smart people out there. Does ubuntu support the Avant Stellar keyboard 116 key? [17:53] With programable macros and 24 function keys [17:53] tomahowk: np man [17:53] nikitis: if the escape code shows up in xev then yes [17:53] After the recent upgrade to 2.4.24-21... my envyng/nvidia stopped working.. I've tried to remove envyng and install it again with apt-get and synaptics with no luck, and after attempting to install envyng again, it doesnt add the envyng icon in the system menu [17:53] nvidia-xconfig doesn [17:53] nvidia-xconfig doesn't work either [17:54] Anyone who can tell me what to do? [17:54] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xog [17:54] ActionParsnip, the keyboard is modeled after the old Northgate Omnikey 101 except it has 12 extra function keys [17:54] Which linux supports [17:54] ActionParsnip, but I need to know before I buy a $185 keyboard, that linux can support 24 function keys [17:55] e-frame: `xserver-xog' is not installed and no info is available. [17:55] ActionParsnip: Sudo Shutdown -h now does not work either [17:55] Melsen.. chances are that the newest nvidia drivers havn't been released for the newer kernel [17:55] Ive search the ubuntu forums though.. I havent seen any other people have this problem [17:56] so right now Im running 800x600 [17:56] sigh [17:56] ActionParsnip, what do you mean by "escape code" [17:56] do you know hyperVM clone? [17:56] #hacking [17:57] hi, folks. I've installed debian-eeepc with lxde. i need a timer as i do a practice exam. what application do you recommend that can do countdown (with some beep preferably)? [17:57] ActionParsnip: there is some info about adding acpi=force to grub menu.lst, but I'm not sure where and I can't find it. ever heard of it? [17:58] lawstudent, if you want a terminal app, you can use sleep and beep :) === nn is now known as Guest68375 [17:58] joaopinto: but will sleep give me a current countdown time ? [17:58] lawstudent, write a bash script === gaurav__ is now known as gaurav_ [17:59] lawstudent, nope [17:59] bah, you people. the person wants a stopwatch and you tell him to "use sleep and beep" or "write a terminal script" ? [17:59] lawstudent, if you ned a graphical app, you can use alarm clock [17:59] not sure it shows the counter either :P [17:59] lawstudent: there's a program called stopwatch === gaurav_ is now known as Guest7797 [17:59] hi there... [17:59] lawstudent: sudo apt-get install stopwatch, or run synaptic and install stopwatch [17:59] coopster: thanks === PrototypXXSuperc is now known as sLashi [18:00] How do you tell linux to support 24 function keys? [18:00] somebody can help me with a little problem @ conky? [18:00] my firefox is running extremly slow only on one core out of two why? [18:01] sLashi: I'll try [18:01] Is it possible to check how many users are on a windows terminal server from linux? Like pstools psloggedon for windows [18:01] does anyone here use print server device? i have question about IPP, does IPP allow me to add printer device from print server without specify/install printer driver on computer(ubuntu)? === tekky is now known as Guest80024 [18:02] are there any official resources on working with the debian/ubuntu decision to no longer build against openssl? like ways around it for things that don't yet work with gnutls, etc... I've been searching forever and can't seem to find anything concrete. [18:02] having problems restarting. Same problem with gui (shutdown/restart), sudo shutdown -r or -h. System hangs I think at GDM( I see a quick "Gnome display manager shutdown message) after I press the power button. Then the splash, then a few modules shutdown but hangs when it gets to ALSA shutdown. At this pouint I have to hardboot. Any thoughts [18:03] yudigadget: the communication method can be parallel, usb, tcp/ip, samba share etc, this does not change the fact that you need a driver that formats your documents in an output the printer itself can parse [18:03] yudigadget: for a lot of modern printers you can use a generic postscript or pcl driver, but no guarantees, especially with cheaper ones === tak is now known as tak11 [18:05] hello [18:05] Nobody here uses a keyboard with 24 Function keys? [18:05] Helminthe can you more specific about generic postscript and pcl driver, are those already include with ubuntu 7.04 and 8.x? [18:05] nikitis, that's rather alot of function keys [18:05] what do you use them for? [18:05] hi [18:05] csilk, macros, shortcuts, etc [18:05] Can i run an app (firefox) on one core only somehow? [18:06] Hi! :) [18:06] csilk, gaming mostly [18:06] oh [18:06] Helminthe or should i install something more? [18:06] hello guys [18:06] my keyboard and mouse is some kind of locked in X, any idea? immediatly after x started, i cant type anything (eg. user/pw). Even Ctrl+alt+Backspace doesnt work [18:06] yudigadget: yes and yes. look into cups, foomatic, hpijs, ghostscript for more printer choices [18:06] falstaff [18:06] Do anyone know how to install Last.fm software in Ubuntu? [18:07] yes i kno === Guest7797 is now known as gaurav_ [18:07] Helminthe ok thanks.. [18:07] Can you please explain me? [18:07] csilk, I want to buy this keyboard that's $185 Heavy duty, with tactile mechanical keys, also with 24 Function keys. i want to know if Linux will be able to use them, and if so, how would you go about mapping them? [18:08] nikitis, honestly, I wouldn't know, I've never had a need for such an odd keyboard. Sorry [18:08] falstaff: does control+alt+f1 work? [18:08] rakgenius: can you please explain me how to install Last.fm? [18:08] nikitis: i wrote a howto for the logitech G15 that would be somewhat similar to what you'd have to do a while back - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LogitechG15 [18:08] coopster: yes [18:08] coopster, you probably should have told him about control+alt+F6 [18:08] hi@all! I have a big problem with dcopserver,which make firefox broken. can please anyone help me? [18:08] coopster, err F7 [18:09] #xubuntu [18:09] nikitis, coopster: All consoles work, F1-F6, with keyboard. F7 shows me x with the gdm login screen, but i cant type anything! [18:09] hmm.. what unreal tournament is best? (that can run on linux) [18:09] nikitis: the relevant sections are adding the key symbols to X and then using xmodmap to map the keycodes to the symbols [18:10] join #xubuntu [18:10] I'm running Ubuntu Server Edition and I just did "apt-get install cron", I've checked and cron is running. I put "0 0 * * * touch /home/website/cron-is-running.txt" in my user's crontab file but no file is being created in my home directory. How can I get cron to work properly please? [18:10] fret18 u der? [18:10] Yes. [18:10] coopster, ah ok [18:10] sudo apt-get install lastfm [18:10] try dis [18:10] nikitis: to find out the keycodes to use i had to run xev and push the keys and see what it reported [18:10] coopster, this keyboard is similar to yours in amount of keys, but is styled more like the old IBM keyboards. However, this keyboard I'm purchasing is brand new [18:10] sup ya'll? [18:11] I have a really bad rash on my groin-area. [18:11] any help? [18:11] rakgenius: looks like it'll work. Thanks. :) [18:11] nikitis: in theory that same process would work for any buttons [18:11] !ot|hamsun [18:11] hamsun: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:11] no probs [18:11] ? [18:11] I hate Ubuntu. It's so addictive. :P [18:11] coopster, it has a PROM built in so that you can program macros. the macros are stored in the keyboard itself. [18:12] coopster, very handy for linux [18:12] coopster: i've installed stopwatch. [18:12] Can anyone help me with my dcopserver problem, which make firefox broken? [18:12] nikitis: then the macros would work, you'd just have to insert entries for the 24 function keys [18:12] thanks, coopster. it's perfect. only wish it would beep when the timer is down to zero. [18:12] lawstudent: yeah, sorries. that's the one thing it doesn't do [18:12] Fret18_, wow, that is wholly drived by the improbability drive [18:13] what is the script that ctrl alt esc executes [18:13] coopster: no prob [18:13] Guys, I must have at least 4 desktop areas to make Compiz cube work well, right? [18:13] lawstudent: perhaps you could use sleep/beep at the same time to get that effect [18:13] wacom in tx2510 [18:13] problem [18:13] yes [18:13] Fret18_: no. it works with any number [18:13] coopster, http://www.ergonomicsmadeeasy.com/ProductImageGallery.asp?ProductID=9&GalleryItem=1 [18:13] Fret18_: no you can have 2 [18:13] it just wont be a cube [18:13] min 4 for a cube [18:13] i am running 8.04 on an old pIII laptop and my resolution is a jacked 800x600 with black blocks around the screen [18:13] Yes. [18:13] That's what I meant. [18:14] nikitis: _that's_ the $185 keyboard? [18:14] does it do dishes? [18:14] With two desktops only, it's like a sheet of paper. [18:14] what is a good program for taking music and renaming it using the ID3 tags? have some music i pulled off of an iPod [18:14] does anyone here have a nice UserContent.css that i can borrow for gtk black themes? i cant get mine look good... [18:14] RonzO: I like EasyTag [18:14] coopster, It's solid Industrial strength metal, and has the "clicky" feel. Built just like the old IBM keyboard [18:14] Tundrayeti312, ty ty. ill check it out [18:15] any1 knows hv 2 enable compiz in ubuntu 8.04 [18:15] rakgenius, you got your grfx drivers installed? [18:15] I'm running Ubuntu Server Edition and I just did "apt-get install cron", I've checked and cron is running. I put "0 0 * * * touch /home/website/cron-is-running.txt" in my user's crontab file but no file is being created in my home directory. How can I get cron to work properly please? [18:15] coopster, that's not plastic your looking at. It weights a solid 7 pounds [18:15] I have 8.04. [18:15] no [18:15] rakgenius, that's the problem then [18:15] First you have to download the settings manager, rakgenius. [18:15] oh [18:15] nikitis: huh, ok then. not too shabby. [18:16] Actually, you must have the graphics card, yes. [18:16] Fret18_, you don't have to first download the manager to get compiz working -_- [18:16] coopster, it's also as long as my 24 inch monitor lol [18:16] Mine works with GFX; [18:16] compiz works without the settings manager Fret18_ [18:16] I had to, csilk.

[18:19] obviously [18:19] yes [18:19] nikitis: looks like you couldn't actually program macros in linux though [18:19] Is it me or the download through the Terminal is faster than through browser? :O [18:19] rakgenius, ok, maybe I wasn't clear the frist or second time... please could you tell me what grfx card/chip you have?

What driver do you use? [19:32] its not hardware. wouldnt let me login and then crash [19:32] what is the easiest way to install madwifi and get it working [19:32] nvidia 8800gts, last drivers on repo, and didnt touch anything [19:32] I think it comes from gnome/compiz :/ [19:32] SiDi_2: the dpkg-reconfigure will have set up some other driver for you to use, probably, therefore the login may not show up if the driver is unsupported [19:33] SiDi_2: a reinstall is probably a bit extreme for a X/graphics card driver issue [19:33] SiDi_2: try rebooting, then if that doesn't work, try re-installing your graphics driver [19:33] Hi.

[19:39] I made a test user and it just works with startx [19:39] evan_, whats the prob? [19:40] Stormx2, well, I want to tried enable ati driver on intrepid in terminal, because when I boot up, I end up in black screen, so I probably need to enable the ati driver. [19:40] >> Hey all! I got a problem with my printer. Ubuntu don't recognize this. And when I start "system-config-printer" I got a error: http://paste.org.ru/?ktljd7 [19:40] n8tuser: sorry, http://paste.ubuntu.com/61634 (typo) [19:40] SiDi_2: very strange... one question i have... if you sudo startx, and then ctl+alt+backspace later what happens? [19:40] defrysk, you'll need to back up your data to another partition, delete the original partition, then create a new ntfs partition in it's place, and copy your data back [19:40] trying to install ubuntu on my 2nd gen macbook w/ alternate-cd. instal went fine, rEFIt sees my new ubuntu (dualboot), but when i select to boot into ubuntu it just shows the tux image and nothing happens..

It could've been a fluke [19:41] is gpart a GUI application? [19:41] jamnz, gparted. yes, it is. [19:41] jamnz, yes but as stormix said , you need to back up first then [19:41] Stormx2, yeah, but still end up the same [19:41] pavel--> have you tried those commands as suggested on that file ? [19:42] [Printer] I have a Canon PIXMA ip100 (not the ip1000) and it seem to be absolutly unreposnsive with the official driver. CUPS is not even adding my jobs! [19:42] mysticdarkhack, check the X log, and you'll probably be better suited getting help in #xorg [19:42] what types of partitions can I install Kubuntu on? [19:43] ciao [19:43] hi, all! I burnt dvd with growisofs -udf but now I can't mount it as dvd? mount -t udf says in /var/log/messages: 'UDF-fs: No VRS found' [19:43] Meeso_OS: A good few. Default is ext3, and you'll need to reformat the partition anyway, why? [19:43] because I am installing kubuntu on a different partition [19:43] Could someone tell me what is scype? or how to spell it [19:44] I am going to dual boot [19:44] n8tuser: I have not yet, as I just restored my xorg.conf (and hopefully my consoles) using the LiveCD. I will try in a minute. (Is there a single/several config files I can restore from the LiveCD for gdm ? ) [19:44] whats recommended/ best for installing on [19:44] confuded_-> did it create a ppd file in /etc/cups/ppd/ ? [19:44] Damn what can it be? [19:44] or, does/can the installer reformat it [19:44] Meeso_OS: ext3 is the default partition type. You should use that unless you have a good reason to not do so. [19:44] Stormx2, thanks [19:44] What is it when one session doesnt work but others do? [19:44] pavel not sure, if there are many gdm related files [19:44] Meeso_OS, ext3 is default, if you have to ask, use ext3 [19:44] Stormx2, but it all good [19:44] ok [19:44] thanks [19:45] using xchat, how can I stop these join and depart messages from appearing in my chat window? [19:45] thanks again [19:45] Meeso_OS, the installer will format the partition for you, you don't need to do it beforehand [19:45] Could it come from an app that would try to launch? [19:45] ok [19:45] Where is the list of apps to launch stored ? [19:45] my L: partition is NFTS, so just boot it, and it will do the rest? [19:46] SiDi_2: System > Preferences > Sessions. Not sure where it's stored in files/folders [19:46] Meeso_OS, I don't know enough about your system to know. [19:46] hmm [19:46] Its an x86 [19:46] is there a list of commands used by ubuntu in a terminal ? [19:46] Meeso_OS, you're currently a windows user, yes?

I'm running Live session 64-bit Ubuntu, I am trying to install updates but some have failed and says I need su priviliges when I goto terminal and try to do su it asks for a pasword? I don't have one as far as I know! Anyone have any ideas?

[19:48] !cli | piasdom [19:48] heh [19:48] piasdom: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[19:48] 2 [19:48] hahahahha i know [19:49] What are they used for? [19:49] Windows is on C: [19:49] One is C:\ I assume. [19:49] Yeah [19:49] and the empty, new one [19:49] is L: [19:49] for linux! :P [19:49] 2200 possibilities :) cool [19:49] Studiosus, you can set it up in nautilus [19:49] Meeso_OS, delete the second partition. I already said that you shouldn't create the target partition from windows [19:49] n8tuser: I still dont have the local consoles (ctrl+alt+[1-6]) after restoring xorg.conf, so I can't run any of the suggested commands. I guess first order would be to figure out how to get those back now. [19:50] oh [19:50] ok [19:50] Meeso_OS, windows can't create ext3 partitions, so you'd only need to delete it anyway [19:50] heh [19:50] Acronis can [19:50] \server irc.darksin.eu/horror [19:50] I'm using Acronis Disk Director [19:50] Meeso_OS, really you're just making life difficult for yourself. Delete it. Then from the installer, when it asks where to install ubuntu, check the "use free space" option. [19:50] defrysk thanks a lot [19:50] guess i was looking for a list WITH a small discription :) [19:51] ahh [19:51] ok [19:51] Studiosus, nautilus > edit >preferences > select media tab [19:51] It'll then recreate a partition in the unpartitioned space and take care of it all for you. [19:51] ahh [19:51] thanks [19:51] bye [19:51] :D [19:51] Meeso_OS: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

You may also need to enable the repositories, we had one user yesterday who for some reason had them all disabled.

[20:06] JakeMon: There's plenty of alternatives, see the rest of the factoid and the wiki page about it, etc. update-rc.d, etc [20:06] so its not a video card problem [20:06] Everything HAS to be by the book, huh?

[21:20] histo: pretty much. i need a server to act as a wireless router for my ADSL. I need it to do MLPPP, and provide LAMP services, then broadcast internet to the rest of my house [21:20] bachir: depends in what way [21:21] ok so i have an ubuntu box that I must have messed up user permissions for... logging in locally to the machine Settings->admin->Users And Groups... i click unlock and it asks me for a password for the account "admin" except there is not account "admin" suggestions? ps i can sudo/gksu fine...

[21:21] i want to use them in order to compile my C++ project [21:21] HorizonXP: cuase that the only difference between server and desktop editions is pretty much gnome. [21:22] alex6691: try "gksudo displayconfig-gtk" [21:22] histo: no, no need for it because once it's all set up, i'm tucking the box away in a corner, and accessing it via SSH only [21:22] bachir: have you got things like your aclocle, and m4 stuff generated ? [21:22] mkquist: I need libglib1.2 [21:22] mkquist: thats imposible [21:22] ikonia: yeah [21:22] erUSUL: how? i have only just re-installed ubuntu its been a while. =/ [21:22] HorizonXP: yeah then you need to download the server cd because by the time you remove gnome and all its bloat you could have downloaded the server iso. [21:22] anyone know of a good dvd ripper and/or encoder? [21:22] voglster: i believe it the same as sudo password... [21:22] bachir: so what part are you stuck on ? [21:22] drumstyk1: mencoder - it's the nuts [21:22] ikonia: i started to learn that on few tuto i found on the net [21:22] HorizonXP: plus its smaller also. [21:22] bachir: good approach [21:23] mkquist, tried that... just popped back up asking for the password again [21:23] histo: even downloading at 120 kb/s at my GF's place? [21:23] ikonia: checking that out now, thanks [21:23] ikonia: i want just to know how to use the to create a fonctionnal Makfile [21:23] HorizonXP: yeah it will only take 40min or so. its a smaller iso [21:23] alex6691: just run that command [21:23] NFS is failing on me when I boot up my box. What is the best way to get into safe mode to uninstall nfs? [21:23] hi all [21:23] mkquist, is there a group that my user must be in to access admin features in gnome? [21:23] bachir: hang on, let me see if I have a link [21:23] is there ar way to reinstall all packages that were installed with ubuntu? [21:23] I am working on a home server, can ubuntu server edition work on a small HD? [21:23] ikonia: no problem :D [21:23] HorizonXP: So if it takes you 2 hrs. to dl the server iso vs. 2 hours of removing garbage? Choice is yours. I'm not saying it couldn't be done but it would be easier to dl the server cd. [21:23] sadleder, use the cd? :-P [21:24] can somebody help me? My desktop gone black without any icons... only top and bottom bars [21:24] Flare183, how small is small?

[21:26] it's very strange. everything is ok, i am using ubuntu now, but I have not any icons and wallpaper on my screen [21:26] sadleder: yeah you can make a package list. May I ask why you are trying to do this. [21:26] ivanov: can you right click on the screen? [21:26] anyone know of a good dvd ripper for ubuntu? [21:26] hi all [21:26] Flare183: 200mb [21:26] dannypop: is mac4lin in the ubuntu repo's ? [21:26] histo no [21:26] ouhc [21:26] ouch* [21:27] dannypop: I can't see it [21:27] only on the gnome menu on the top and on the taskbar [21:27] you can google.. "212058112 bytes in megabytes" and it will do the math for you :) [21:27] ikonia no [21:27] i installed firefox, but when i try to run it from cli it's just hanging. no output, no firefox, no nothing. [21:27] dannypop: then I suggest you get support on the mac4lin project, as ubuntu don't package it and your problem isn't really anything specific to ubuntu [21:27] hello [21:27] ivanov: yeah gnome-panel is running but other stuff has crashed. [21:27] ? I just installed the KDE desktop on ubuntu but the wireless network program doesnt autostart. How do I get it to run on startup? [21:28] histo exactly [21:28] histo: just to see which packages would get installed if i installed intrepid today [21:28] ivanov: I believe nautilus controls the desktop [21:28] will GNOME 2.24.1 come to INTREPID?

[22:53] saywatmang: thats most odd, out of interest if you ping it, does it respond quick [22:53] saywatmang: or if you did "nslookup localhost" === Marty is now known as Guest62689 [22:53] ikonia, on both of those yes [22:53] is it possible to make changes to the display settings when not running a graphical interface [22:53] kambiz_: it does but you can turn them off pretty good and they are not really ghost files they are just backups of files really [22:53] saywatmang: so they both respond quick....Hmmm [22:54] anyone know how i might figure out why pidgin isnt loading properly and how i can fix it? [22:54] saywatmang: ahh I think I see a potential issue, hang on [22:54] kitche: ahh i see, thanks for the help! i appreciate it, i'll give gvim a run [22:54] thanks all for the help! [22:55] saywatmang: host trys dns servers first - before files, it doesn't use nsswitch.conf so thats what the delay is, timing out dns servers [22:55] ikonia, ah... u know what sucks is taht i have a lot of programs that hang for 10 secs cuz of this [22:55] Is intrepid rc coming out today? [22:55] saywatmang what uses host [22:55] ikonia, so i use my rotuer as a dns server, im asusming its an issue w the routers dns serve [22:55] caiges: read the topic in #ubuntu+1 [22:56] hello, how to get sound only through headphones? [22:56] saywatmang: your dns server should never resolve localhost (that is correct) so your router is behaving correctly as is your box [22:56] ikonia, so what would be causing the 10 sec delay [22:56] saywatmang: 10 second delay with what ? [22:57] ikonia, host, git, certain socket functions in ruby [22:57] exit [22:57] saywatmang: depends on how they resolve, host - that uses dns servers, which will never resolve localhost, so will always time out, git/ruby depends what resolver they are set to use [22:57] Is there a piece of software that will allow me to put an entire folder in a .tar.gz with a GUI? [22:57] WDC: nautilus [22:58] ikonia: Really? Will it let me span it? [22:58] WDC: span it ? [22:58] hello, how to get sound only through headphones? [22:58] ikonia: like in parts. Or is that only in rar [22:58] WDC: thats not possible in tar [22:59] ikonia: too bad. .rar will do that. Thanks! I overthought what I was trying to do [22:59] can anyone here help me figure out why firefox 3 crashes constantly on my ubuntu installation? i've removed all the add-ons and themes and it still crashes easily [22:59] define crash [22:59] what ubuntu version [23:00] ikonia, ok great, thanks for the help [23:01] Hello, please - How to get sound only through headphones?

[23:12] Rovin, what application gives you that error? [23:12] n8tuser: It's the init strings that set the apn rather than username/password/no, those are the same for all 3g connections [23:12] Anyone in here managed to compile avisyth3 with hardy? sticking with "configure: WARNING: Boost library (1_33) not in /usr/lib" while "./configure --disable-assembly --with-boost-includedir-path=/usr/include --with-boost-libdir-path=/usr/lib --with-boost-lib-name=libboost_thread-gcc41-mt-1_34_1". libboost_thread-gcc41-mt-1_34_1.* files are in /usr/lib/.

Any way to get put that back to standard hidden first, then non-hidden? [23:13] not sure how else I could edit though? [23:13] Rovin, you'll have to launch gedit under gksudo then [23:13] imbezol: There's probably an option somewhere in `man ls` [23:13] Oh, thanks :) [23:13] tim__b: tim__b you need libboost-dev installed [23:13] chmac: nope [23:13] chmac i dont know then, I am assuming gnome-ppp would use same config file to dial out [23:14] imbezol, "ls -lar?

I already have msttcorefonts installed [23:48] rogan, I wouldn't suggest it, the speed hit from running within an OS will probably dampen the experience for him [23:48] pavel-, check permissions in the sytem, I had similar problem, and it were broken permissions [23:48] rogan: it would be faster, more comfortable, and not bother his windows install [23:48] but playing the cd wont really give full effect will it [23:49] Frijolie, check out http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2/ [23:49] Frijolie: the package texlive-fonts-extra contains garamond [23:49] Frijolie, it will get u started [23:50] sry guys, gotta get some sleep before work [23:50] gn [23:50] and gl [23:50] I managed the shutdown lol [23:50] Rovin, gz mate =) [23:50] hi there, why is there only a dvd image of the intrepid RC?

I get a bonobo -slay error everytime I login or try to open a folder and I can't mount any volumes. [23:51] make that unreachable [23:51] Rovin: how'd you end up doing it? [23:51] hey i'm running ubuntu 8.4 and my taskbars disapired [23:51] let me attempt purging/removing coq [23:51] can any one help me get them back? [23:52] pavel-: but does X work when your consoles are gone? [23:52] histo: "sudo shutdown -h now" [23:52] Rovin: k. Like I said you could have done that or restarted the panels. [23:52] Can anyone tell me how to create a permanent channel in my internal irc server?? [23:52] histo: same error, blank screen, cryptic message [23:52] plz [23:53] dHE: maybe you should ask in #help or some other irc channel. But you probably need a bot to sit idle in the channel. [23:53] dHE: also why would you want an internal irc server. [23:53] pavel-: Can you by any chance get hold of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and put it on pastebin? [23:53] pavel-: This is not a problem with GDM I garantee is a problem with X [23:53] BobbyFerret: right after i restore xorg.conf with the livecd again : [23:53] :) [23:54] pavel-: Ouch, well it would be helpfull :) [23:54] im so confused...

[23:54] can someone help me plz [23:54] someone pm me [23:55] !ask | Jake_ [23:55] Jake_: 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. :-) [23:55] good morning [23:55] how do I install the postgresql docs in ubuntu?
