[00:08] xenophan, /root/.bashrc [00:08] I'm using iptables and dnsmasq for internet connection sharing and the TCP checksums are wrong. Is this a problem? [00:09] Kr0ntab: not true.... I can force removal of a single package without removing any dependencies... man dpkg... [00:09] DCPom, why would he use the .bashrc file in the /root directory? [00:09] Hi. Newish to Linux -- how can I make Ubuntu mount my MS WIndows partitions on startup (or login)? [00:09] you want to remove a package that depends on ubuntu-desktop no the other way around right? [00:09] Still can't get this problem with sound fixed...tried searching the forums too...it works on my partion for Vista..I want sound to come from only headphones/earphones when plugged in. [00:09] Hey. Since I've moved to a new ISP I can't send emails using evolution. I am using an SMTP server which is not related to the ISP (my own shared host). pinging to my mail.domainname.org works. Should I try telnet or something like that? [00:09] csilk, no i mean where in the .bashrc file <--that's what i saw [00:09] Vantrax: you can remove ubuntu-desktop it does nothing to other packages [00:09] ok so now i have termanial what can i type in to brink back the taskbars [00:09] I think of blocked ports as a possible cause of the error. [00:10] Anyone knows how to stop the resolver from querying AAAA records first? [00:10] can soemoen help me i cant connect to nesuss [00:10] digitig they should be mounting already, check in your places list [00:10] How do I make it so a folder and all it's contents/subfolders have read write access by my (not just root)? [00:10] Vantrax: no, the other way [00:10] peleg: You can telnet smtp.server.here 25 and see if it gives you the smtp header [00:10] apparently ubuntu-desktop depends on tons of things that it doesn't actuallyl depend on [00:10] sharki: listen... you have it backwards mate... you can remove ubuntu-desktop... because nothing depends on it. Ubuntu-desktop however depends on other packages. You remove one of those... then ubuntu-desktop must be removed. [00:10] can someone help me i cant connect to nesuss [00:10] peleg: if it just hangs or drops immediately it's a blocked port [00:10] dulak: thanks [00:10] DCPom, yeah, well you missed the previous comments, even so, what you said still doesnt make sense [00:10] digitig: Write a script. put it in the /etc/init.d/ directory. [00:10] diskin: here's /var/log/gdm/:0.log : http://paste.ubuntu.com/61753/ [00:10] yep sharki, exactly what kr0ntab said [00:10] he just types faster:P [00:10] i wrote my alias in the last line of the .bashrc nothing happend why [00:11] Kr0ntab, Vantrax: wait... I think you guys are right [00:11] Jake_, what ports you tried? [00:11] xenophan, you need to reload bash, or new terminal [00:11] so I can just remove ubuntu-desktop, and it won't actually kill X, right? [00:11] dulak: hangs. blocked port, or problem with the server? [00:11] yep [00:11] thx [00:11] Hi i have a movie i need to wathc for school but ubuntu wont play it,do i have to uninstall and reinstall windows to play it correctly? these are the file types listed:file:///home/r00t/Poultrygeist.Night of the Chicken Dead 2006 DVDRip (A KRG-KVCD) Mudbrick/Movie.AVI [00:11] file:///home/r00t/Poultrygeist.Night of the Chicken Dead 2006 DVDRip (A KRG-KVCD) Mudbrick/MudBrick.html [00:11] file:///home/r00t/Poultrygeist.Night of the Chicken Dead 2006 DVDRip (A KRG-KVCD) Mudbrick/PLEASE READ(Guide And Further Info).rtf [00:11] file:///home/r00t/Poultrygeist.Night of the Chicken Dead 2006 DVDRip (A KRG-KVCD) Mudbrick/Poultrygeist.Night of the Chicken Dead 2006 DVDRip (A KRG-KVCD) Mudbrick.bin [00:11] hence the terminal [00:11] file:///home/r00t/Poultrygeist.Night of the Chicken Dead 2006 DVDRip (A KRG-KVCD) Mudbrick/Poultrygeist.Night of the Chicken Dead 2006 DVDRip (A KRG-KVCD) Mudbrick.cue [00:11] ... can i type any thing in termanial o bring back my taskbar?

[00:12] Vantrax & Kr0ntab: u ze people! thanks!!! [00:12] peleg: it could be either but if ping is ok.... [00:12] r00t use vlc [00:12] Vantrax: Ok, so maybe mounting isn't the problem. Yes they're in the places list, but Amarok can't see them, and so loses my collection information. If I open them from the places list, they appear as icons on the desktop and Amarok can then see them. So whatever I want to happen is whatever opening them from the desktop does to make them visible to applications!

[00:13] I dont use amarok so i cant really help too much, maybe someone else knows it [00:13] peleg: works for me, your ISP is blocking [00:13] Jake_, what ports have you tried already? the standard ones are 3001 and 1241 [00:13] ircd: (cd /home; tar cvf user.tar user; gzip user.tar) [00:13] i need to connect to the internet by pppoe via wireless i cant find my wifi card in the pppoe list :'(?? [00:13] one sec [00:14] csilk hwo do u pm me directly [00:14] dulak: weird! should I contact my ISP? why would they do that? or, can it be my ubuntu which is blocking? [00:14] Jake_, I'm not going to pm you [00:14] How do I change the "workgroup" name for networking [00:14] i meant how do u talk to me directly not pm [00:14] Vantrax: Ok, so I need to point Amarok to the files via /dev/sda#, not via /media, is that right? [00:14] peleg: usually in that instance you switch your outgoing mail server to your ISPs which should let you through because you are on one of thier ips [00:14] how do I keep up with all these messages is a better question [00:14] * sharki hahaha [00:14] i tried both and no luck [00:14] idk y [00:14] Izinucs: it's in the networking options [00:15] Where is the doxygen config file for postgresql [00:15] sharki ok so once i cd to /home i just type tar cvf user.tar user; gzip user.tar?

I just installed 8.04 lts server edition.. and I can't log in to either root or user... I know what passwds I set it up with, but non work...

[00:16] i need to know what package i need to download so i download it here on windows becaus i cant use pppoe on ubuntu [00:16] Vantrax: Except Amarok greys out the /dev tree in it's file source options :-( [00:16] digitig: you should be doing it through the /media/xyz mounts they are the same as the /dev/sds mounts [00:16] Izinucs: I can't view it at the moment but I saw it earlier under one of the tabs on the network options [00:16] csilk u there === Lokian_ is now known as Lokian [00:16] thanks for help [00:16] compton: as in "Domain name" ?

[00:18] well i'm on my last atempts before i go back to windows [00:18] diskin: ok, want another /var/log/gdm paste? [00:18] ircd: oh wow.... dude, replace 'user' with the actual username you're trying to archive.... do an 'ls' before running tar to see what directories you have... [00:18] Izinucs, i have already asked my question [00:18] Izinucs: try http://www.europe.eclipse.co.uk/Ubuntu/Workgroups.htm it expains how to edit the samba conf [00:18] Vantrax: Ok, I did do it via the /media/xyz mounts, but when I reboot Amarok can't see the files until I have opened the drive from the places menu -- then I have to rebuild the collection (it's was at 20% when I came here to ask about it, now it's at 74% -- I don't want to have to do that on every boot!) [00:18] yeah i did that sharki [00:18] compton: thanks. [00:18] shawn_: ooohhh, me scared [00:18] Izinucs, but as you asked i will ask again [00:19] r00t_: sorry came in late and didn't have any scroll back..

[00:20] r00t_, ask again, since you asked new people have joined and other people have started watching, i fi randomly see "hey guys plz answer me" how do I know what you originally asked? [00:20] is there an app I can use to control cpu profile when my laptop is plugged in and when its not?

[00:20] i need to know what package i need to download so i download it here on windows becaus i cant use pppoe on ubuntu [00:20] is Wubi only designed for testing purposes? are there any disadvantages than using it from a real installation of Ubuntu? [00:20] Jake_, did those ports not work? [00:20] I have 2 computers, 1 is updated to the latest, and 1 is a fresh install of 8.04... do I just need to share /var/cache/apt/archives to get the fresh 8.04 install updated without using my net connection? [00:20] they both did not [00:20] are there any others or is there a way i can find one [00:20] i have to type sudo locate foo -- is there a way to be able to just type locate foo without being su [00:20] ? [00:20] i want to use only part of a hard drive for Ubuntu [00:20] how would that be partitinoed? [00:20] Jake_, use this command> ps -A | grep “nessusd” [00:21] the other half already has Windows installed [00:21] Jake_, and tell me what output you get [00:21] bohnoffer: use at your own risk: 'sudo bash' [00:21] diskin: 2 error lines appeared in the log: (EE) [drm] Could not set DRM device bus ID. (EE) intel(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI. [00:21] sec [00:22] this should be called #unix_newbie, not #ubuntu, none of the questions have anything to do with ubuntu whatsoever... [00:22] nothing [00:22] nothign happened [00:22] weird [00:22] Jake_, in that case you don't have the server/daemon installed [00:22] ok back to windows i go stupid linux [00:22] hwo do i install it [00:22] Jake_, which means there is nothing to connect to [00:22] shawn_, seriously [00:22] so i guess my question is, in general, how do i allow the non-su user to run an app which requires sudo (locate should fit this bill in my mind) [00:22] so how do i install it [00:22] grow up [00:22] i have a hard drive, and windows is already on it. how do i partition so that ubuntu can run off of the free space?

[00:23] this is gay i havent even had this distra installed for 2 days and this is crap [00:23] I'm building a new system. Is Ubuntu 64 worth the download? I have a standard Hardy 32bit ISO handy. [00:23] bonez45: shoot, what's the question? [00:23] diskin: here's the debug paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/61757/ [00:23] somebody ban shawn [00:23] plz [00:23] GleepGlop: how much ram you have? [00:23] Jake_, Sorry this isn't a nessus support channel, I advise you read the documentation, nessus is a complex piece of software, I can't imagine anyone is going to hold your hand through the whole thing [00:23] pavel-, ok [00:23] lol i never even found out what shawns question was:P [00:23] 4GB [00:23] GleepGlop: then 64 bit probably isn't worth the download [00:23] i just wana know how to install daemon [00:23] i know it is possible to run an app as local user -- should i just chmod the executable? [00:24] thanks [00:24] Vantrax, yeah, all he had on his desktop was his irc client, everything dies apparently [00:24] it was hard to get anything else out of him other than that [00:24] sharki: ok, I just d/l'd the 8.04lts server edition. and installed it.. it had no errors, no issues, but it boots back up.. and gives a prompt.. I try to log in as root and no go.. and then as user.. and I know what passwds I assigned, but nothing works, I can't log in [00:24] dulak: yeah, I might go with Arch instead of Ubuntu on this system and have i686m binaries [00:24] sounds like driver issues:P but how the heck can so sort anything from that [00:24] *i686 [00:25] bonez45: 1sec, I'll tell you what to do [00:25] Anyone any ideas on my Amarok issue? [00:25] Jake_, http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-install-the-vulnerability-scanner-nessus [00:25] ok [00:25] hold on. does installing ubuntu on a hard drive that already has windows on it install cleaning the hard drive and putting your windows files back in? [00:25] i need to see this video for my indy film class,can someone please tell me how to watcg/burn it? these are the files im working with:http://pastebin.com/m7943daa3 [00:25] hmm /usr/bin/locate is 777! [00:25] the only large one is the .bin [00:25] really it is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/locate with this permission! [00:26] is this normal? [00:26] r00t_, one of those files is .avi you can play that in any media player [00:27] how come i can't play dvds in xubuntu? [00:27] whats the difference between i386 and i686? [00:27] csilk, yes but its not what i need.. its only a min long [00:27] bonez45: how good are you with linux? or unix in general? [00:27] bobby: not if you do it right. A modern partitioner should let you clear some space and make Ubuntu partitions without damaging existing data -- but it's risky, so best to backup anyway. [00:27] r00t_, so what do you need? [00:27] sharki: I feel comfortable.. [00:27] I am no expert but I know my way around.. [00:27] r00t_, i'll assume you wanna play the bin file, have you tried vlc??? [00:27] digitig: I'm installing ubuntu from the boot cd; how would I go about this? The documentation seems to claim that i have to clear my hd [00:27] csilk, i need to view the movie,the.bin is 700megs but it plays no sound when i know from my classmates that the movie works [00:28] csilk, yes i have tried it ño sound [00:28] r00t_, see my previous comment [00:28] is Wubi only designed for testing purposes? are there any disadvantages than using it from a real installation of Ubuntu? [00:28] can someone give me a small pointer to how to let a non super user run 'locate' -- i don't know how to ask google this question? [00:28] oh rite [00:28] how come i can't play dvds in xubuntu? [00:28] r00t_, how did your classmates play it? [00:28] bonez45: just boot into "livecd, try" mode, mount your root partition (use 'fdisk -l' to see what's available), chroot to your mount, and run 'passwd root' [00:28] hardcore, codec? [00:28] Hi all! Did the last Hardy update disturb the locale setting? [00:28] bonez45: if you need explanation on any of those to-dos let me know [00:28] sharki.. ok.. [00:28] i have ubuntu installed and logged into xfce. are the codecs different? [00:29] csilk, they have windows,it would require me to uninstall ubuntu/then reinstall windows [00:29] sorry, i had not identified and might not have been visible (sorry new at this), can someone give me a small pointer to how to let a non super user run 'locate' -- i don't know how to ask google this question? [00:29] pavel-, nothing related to gdm in the debug log. [00:29] sharki: all but the chroot to my mount I understand [00:30] bonez45: ok, that's real easy... say you installed on /dev/sda6, so (mkdir /mnt/sda6; mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/sda6; chroot /mnt/sda6) [00:30] csilk, thanks anyways,i need to get this essay in asap,so im going to format/reinstALL windows [00:30] diskin: didnt think so... looks like im on command line for now lol [00:30] so how to run 'locate' or any bin without sudo -- any pointer works . . . thanks in advance [00:30] sharki: ok, that's what I needed.. [00:30] Bobby: It's a long time since I did it (this time I did it on a clean 2nd drive), but the partitioner used to allow you to non-destructively resize the existing partition. But you might need to defrag first, because if the Windows data is all over the disk the partitioner might not be able to move the boundary. Best ask somebody who knows the current partitioner -- all I know is I've done it in the past! [00:30] bonez45: that'll make it look as if your root dir is actually /mnt/sda6 [00:31] i have ubuntu installed and logged into xfce. are the codecs different? [00:31] r0bby, just answer my damn question, having windows is not the answer, i said how do your classmate run the bin file, it has nothing to do with windows, it has everything to do with the software they are using [00:31] bonez45: then in the same terminal!!! not in a new one, run 'passwd' and you'll update /dev/sda6/etc/shadow with your password, which should allow you to login [00:31] oh he went [00:31] think i might be having EDID errors [00:31] how can you get a list of the ubuntu patches for e.g 8.04.1?

[00:33] sharki: this is the server edition, there's no Live CD option when I boot with this.. [00:33] bonez45: forgot to mention... if you're like me and create partitions for /usr, etc. you'll need to mount that inside the chroot (say your /usr is on /dev/sda7, just 'mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/sda6/usr), u get the idea... [00:34] hardcore, install the required codecs [00:34] csilk, do you know where to find the codecs? [00:34] sharki: so I need to find a livecd disc, instead of this server disc, right? [00:34] bonhoffer: try sudo gedit /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db if your wanting to edit the file or something. [00:34] bonez45: uhoh... I had no idea... then u need any other bootable linuxcd, personally I prefer fedora, but that's just me [00:34] bonhoffer can you run ls -la /var/lib/mlocate [00:34] ok. [00:35] bonez45: any linux livecd is what you need [00:35] ok.. [00:35]  hi all...im kinda of a noob to the world of linux admin. I would like some advice, please.

[00:35] Vantrax, is this standard [00:36] jdrane: id actually use centros for that [00:36] bonez45: hehe, if you can do that, you can just cut&paste your encrypted password string from /etc/shadow, but the answer is yes you can do what I said [00:36] vlc made it play just fine [00:36] er Centos [00:37] Vantrax, so are your desktops running centos as well [00:37] bonez45: just boot into the working installation, and do the same thing, mount+chroot+passwd, that's cleaner [00:37] broken packages seizing my computer!

[01:11] O hell yea [01:11] you should be able to find c compilers everywhere [01:11] Well I know plenty of shit languages. And I just started C# and love it. But of course who doesn't love C++. [01:11] forgive, i havent coded crap since college [01:11] No problem. [01:12] C# eww [01:12] thats what people said abouot kobol once [01:12] Don't eww C#. [01:12] and they still use it [01:12] ok a question for all every one says ubuntu uses less memory and resourses than vista but if i want all the fancy things in ubuntu like vista clone and transparent windows and compiz activated with effects does ubuntu use less or just the same [01:12] i have ubuntu 8.4 and win xp [01:12] kmpressor, yeah but cobol was good [01:12] Do you even know how great C# is?

[01:20] Tell you wate gaten, just use the synaptic to remove the flash plugin then install flash nonfree [01:20] dmhardison: you can use Zenity to make dialog boxes very easily, but as for actually showing it on the user's desktop, uhm [01:20] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [01:21] how do I search for in the contents of files in a directory? [01:21] how do I search for a specific file in shell? [01:21] writing: grep "keyword" directoryname/* [01:21] jeeves_Moss: locate filename [01:21] LjL, does that work for the fill file system? [01:21] jeeves_Moss: (although that won't work if the file was created recently - in that case, use "find") [01:22] jeeves_Moss: yes [01:24] mouseboyx: trying that [01:24] LjL, ok, it's not working. what would the syntax be to search the whole drive for "awstats_updateall.pl" [01:25] jeeves_Moss: just "locate filename". but if it's not working then use find, "sudo find / | grep awstats_updateall.pl" [01:26] LjL, thanks. it's searching [01:26] How could I terminate a program from Konsole or Terminal?

[01:27] anyone here familiar with running LIRC on gutsy? I am having a lot of issues and it was working fine on feisty [01:27] my ubuntu (eee-pc 8.04 ubuntu eee) was working great with wireless until tonight -- now it can't seem to get an ip -- wired works fine and all other computers work fine . . . [01:27] semanticpc, what kind of trees? there are a few good linguistics classes available in apt [01:27] killall worked, thanks to everyone! [01:27] what troubleshooting options do i have? [01:27] simple binary trees [01:27] is there an open source option to using Microsoft Visio? [01:27] Dia is good [01:27] its similar to visio [01:28] sorry, i am a windows user -- new to linux -- in windows i get a list of networks and i just pick which one to connect to -- ubuntu was working, but now it seems like there is very little troubleshooting i can do [01:28] gm04030276 - Is it completely compatible? [01:28] aha not sure about that.. check out ctan though: http://www.ctan.org [01:28] josh__, how do i add packages to texlive ? [01:28] LjL, thanks, I found what I needed [01:28] the only error i get is 'no network connection' [01:28] mouseboyx: yes [01:28] well if you install via apt, they'll get used automatically [01:28] Woody86: no idea! hold on ill see if i can find what files is supports, what file ext does visio save in? [01:29] If I request a install CD for Ubuntu, do they phone you when it has been shipped? [01:29] rovin,no [01:29] Mac you in here? [01:29] but you can configure a directory under your home dir that tex will search for classes [01:29] ok [01:29] rovin, i got my 8.10 cd on order [01:29] so i would say my wireless card works, but i can't get my network to connect [01:29] why do they need Phone? [01:29] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ should be correct directory gaten [01:29] rovin, i dont know [01:29] i keep mine under ~/texmf [01:30] oh well,I will order [01:30] :) [01:30] i am sure there is a tool that scans for available networks and lets me connect, if i can't it gives me some error i can work with [01:30] alright is anyone familiar with LIRC at all? [01:30] Woody86: it does say visio .vdx in the open dialog [01:30] !lirc [01:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about lirc [01:30] Hey everyone. I'm trying to figure out how to isntall VMServer 2.0 on 8.04. How do I do that?

Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [01:31] LOL...sorry. [01:31] ROFl [01:31] haha [01:32] cicero: What problem are you having with network-manager? [01:32] Okay...serious face now. I'm having problems installing VMWare Server 2.0. [01:32] Jordan - it looks like i am using nm-applet -- is that the same as network manager? [01:32] I don't know how to do it. I figured it'd be something like sudo apt-get vmware server 2.0 or something like that, but I don't even know where this pulls from so I can find it. [01:32] Woody86: well it seems to support visio files but I haven't had any experience opening visio files with it. [01:33] hey guys, anyone here good with wifi card issues? [01:33] sort of... [01:33] atheros cards? [01:33] gm04030276 - ok, is there anything in OpenOffice.org that would be compatible? [01:33] vote_4_Obama, yes I do have that card [01:33] vote_4_Obama: try intrepid [01:34] When you use "sudo apt-get", where does that pull from? [01:34] intrepid? [01:34] oh boy [01:34] !intrepid | vote_4_Obama [01:34] ello there open sourcers! [01:34] vote_4_Obama: 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 [01:34] Aeonis_, configured repositories in sources.list [01:34] Jordan_U, i don't know how to use/find network-manager . . . === Aeonis_ is now known as Aeonis [01:34] yeah....i'l wait till the bugs are sorted [01:34] I'm trying to install it now [01:34] cicero: It should be in the top right of your screen [01:35] mouseboyx: Where do I find that? [01:35] i didn't notice any bugs in 8.10 [01:35] /etc/apt/sources.list i believe. [01:35] cicero: It's a pannel applet that looks like two computers === vote_4_Obama is now known as v4O [01:35] obama are you using ndiswrapper? [01:35] If I wanted to ask a question on the stable versino thats bee around for a while, am I in the right channel? [01:35] guz:the ubuntu 8.04 channel [01:35] Jordan_U, all I get is the applet -- and that is not helping me. It connects to the wired connection just fine but it's not scanning or finding my local network at all [01:35] GuZ: Yes [01:36] all disconnect the wired network right now [01:36] http://www.linuxfornewbies.org/forum/index.php/topic,3.0.html this tutorial fixed my wifi problems [01:36] I'll disconnect [01:36] Okay, cool, I was wondering if there was a way to use Windows XP simple network bridging via WINE [01:36] Woody86: there is OO drawing but I don't know if its visio compatable. Try googleing for visio openoffice or searching the OOo website [01:37] gm04030276 - ok, thanks for the help :) [01:37] so I disconnect and I get an ! Under the box in the top [01:37] decides that I absolutely get no error at all. If I place the mouse over that box the only error I get is "no network connection" [01:38] if a single click on that box I get to three options: 1 | connect to other wireless networks, (2) create new wireless network or (3) manual configuration [01:38] cicero: What wireless card do you have ( the exact chipset if you know it ) ? [01:38] I have tried around six or seven times to create a new wireless network I've chosen my security settings and entered my security key. However this has had no effect [01:38] Jordan_U, give me just a second a look that up [01:38] mouseboyx: How do I find what server/site it's connecting to? [01:39] cicero: It should list available networks, you don't want to create a new wireless network [01:39] you can see some stuff in system > admin > software sourcers [01:39] interesting, when I type ifconfig I don't see the interface which used to be there which was something like ra0 [01:39] cicero: Ugh, you have a ralink card then [01:39] what is the other command that I can type to find out my exact hardware details something like lspci [01:39] mouseboyx: I see some for "Third-Party" software, but they're not checked in. I'm looking to see what the name of VMWare Server 2.0 is so I can sudo apt-get install it. [01:39] that is correct [01:39] ralink on the eeepc 1000h [01:40] can someone help me boot from cd w/ no live disc? [01:40] Aeonis VMWare server is a costed item [01:40] the problem is that this has been working very well and is just now that I can't get a connection [01:40] cicero: Oh, are you using eeeubuntu? [01:40] yes I am [01:40] There is a free version Vantrax. [01:40] And I have a Key I can use for the free version. [01:40] it seems to be working pretty well, except for this wireless problem [01:40] Aeonis, may i suggest virtual box over vmware, it is much more stable and in the default repositories. [01:40] Aeonis i didnt think it was in the repos [01:40] cicero: Surprising that it isn't working then [01:41] Aeonis: Just pull it down from www.vmware.com [01:41] I have found some places online that recommend downloading the driver but according to the folks in the eeepc room the driver should be working inside the specific distro that I am using [01:41] I would agree, but the guy I'm getting training with uses VMServer 2.0 and said it's very stable and I want to learn it as much as possible before I start learning crap on my own. [01:41] mouseboyx, is it logical to install windows xp on virtual box to play games? :) [01:41] and since it was working I would hate to install a driver that could cause potential problems [01:41] what I wish I could do is actually troubleshoot this problem but it doesn't seem like the network manager is giving me any options like that [01:41] xomp, no [01:41] Aeonis, i'd vote for vmware, server 2.0 is awesome [01:41] I tried Vantrax, but the RPM file wouldn't install and the tar.gx??? wouldn't install either. I figure I'm doing it wrong. [01:41] use the .bundle [01:42] do you have a link on how you installed it usser? [01:42] Aeonis, are u using hardy? [01:42] mouseboyx, oh :( ok, was hoping to get rid of this dual boot but wine no worky with Team Fortress 2 and Silent Hill 3 on my nice ATI card :( [01:42] Aeonis use the .bunble file [01:42] cicero: Have you changed anything since it was working? [01:42] .bundle [01:42] yeah, i just recently got a free 8800 GTX from my friend ! xomp [01:42] I've been installing software but I haven't changed anything in the wireless settings [01:42] Yes usser. 8.04 :D [01:43] I've installed several updates, etc. [01:43] also have installed Matlab and the Java runtime engine [01:43] cicero: Any kernel updates? [01:43] Aeonis, oh so head to vmware.com create your free account download vmware 2.0 server for linux tar.gz file [01:43] mouseboyx, cool, word on the street is in 5-10 years time ATI will be well supported in linux :) But damn, that's a long time to keep windows on yah drive for gaming purposes :P [01:43] no, not that I know of [01:44] Wait...usser, I have done that...would it still be stored on my pc after a reboot in the temp file? [01:44] I'm having serious trouble making a network bridge to use my laptops wifi access with my 360s, I've googled the problem and no fix has worked [01:44] Aeonis, where did u save it? [01:44] I am using an Nvidia card, what's the likelihood of losing all video if I upgrade to the RC? [01:44] xomp, Linux is not the best gaming platform. [01:44] I can't remember, I just click the thing in FF and let it go to default. [01:44] xomp, i also got an ati card that worked fairly well from him, it was 2600XT [01:44] saxonjf: is it a newish card? or oldish? [01:44] Aeonis, take a look on your desktop, firefox usually saves there [01:45] need help with a wireless connect [01:45] cabrioleur, I know, but I've seen numerous videos of Team Fortress 2 on ubuntu but they fail to mention that if you have an ATI card your SOL big time :( [01:45] Kind of oldish [01:45] saxonjf, square root of i. [01:45] can someone help on a boot issue [01:45] craigthegreat, I'm sure somebody can. [01:45] It's not there usser. I'll re-download it. What usually is in the /tmp folder? [01:45] Jordan_U, one thing that definitely might affect this is I loaded an application that is supposed to take inputs from the eee hotkeys, perhaps that is disabling my wireless [01:46] cab, that's no answer. [01:46] ohshit, another eee ubuntu user [01:46] GuZ, have you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=895310 ? [01:46] language, please, GuZ [01:46] i need to boot off cd but i cant get the bios to come up [01:46] using grub [01:46] Aeonis, temp files, it might be there as well [01:46] How do you set an environment variable [01:46] sorry, tritium [01:46] with export? [01:46] what is "eee"? [01:46] other than 3 e's? [01:46] saxonjf, nobody can tell until you try. It's up to the model, ram, connection, motherboard and number of bugs implemented in current code :-) [01:47] the EEE laptop by asus [01:47] What is "seahorse-B9DPBr" [01:47] eee is awesome for servers. It's quiet, set and forget. [01:47] I've read that there's no driver for Nvidia drivers in the beta for 8.10, and that concerns me. [01:48] GuZ, does this distribution cause a lot of problems? [01:48] writing: You export the variable with export, you set it with variable_name="whatever" ( exporting it makes it available to child processes, i.e. any program you run from that shell ) [01:48] saxonjf, nvidia website always has the drivers. [01:48] i'm running xubuntu on my eee 900 and its been fine, im just having trouble with an ubuntu problem in general [01:48] can some one help m I have a pci wireless card and it's slow 70kb/s or less [01:48] How can I get the extra buttons (email, home, search) to work? [01:49] Jordan_U, so I have enabled wireless within the eee eee-control-tray. It might have been disabled. It currently tried to find an IP after I put in the wpa key, but now it looks like that has failed and I'm getting the same error which is "no network connection" [01:49] animefanfive, system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts [01:49] cicero, my eee worked out of the box with xubuntu/ubuntu [01:49] ben you have windoes installed too? [01:49] no [01:50] I tried that and when it goes to the "New accelerator" phase it will pick up any key except those three. [01:50] does it run as slow off the CD? [01:50] so currently I've enabled wireless and the network manager applet is disappeared when I type ifconfig I still do not see the ra0 interface [01:50] livecd [01:50] what is Ubuntu desk edition? [01:50] animefanfive, your keyboard is misconfigured. [01:50] 8.04 [01:50] it's like network manager has crashed and I can't find the binary to started up again [01:50] animefanfive, go to keyboard setup and pick different model. [01:50] but I have hade it in a old windows 2000 [01:51] 8.04 [01:51] cabrioleur: Probably I just hooked a new one up. Didn't even think of that so I will try. [01:51] oh it looks like I've found that it is simply networkmanager ( I had a dash in there) [01:51] ceil420, nm-applet [01:51] Ubuntu *.04... [01:51] cicero: nm-applet, but network-manager doesn't actually create the interfaces so if you don't see it in iwconfig it won't work in network-manager [01:51] Ubuntu8.04 [01:51] Vantrax: does what run slow off the live cd? Ubuntu? Yes - it loads and expands what it needs from the cd into ram on a need basis... It's become much better though [01:51] oh wait, i spoke incorrectly networkmanager didn't work either i'll try nm-applet [01:52] Sorry about that, but I've got an issue with the 8.10 Beta, as well as all of the 8.10 Alphas [01:52] lol MTecknology was talkin to ben about his wireless nic [01:52] Vantrax: aight - sorry [01:53] Vantrax: I've just seen that question a lot [01:53] ben: so its not the signal or the hardware? [01:53] What is Ubuntu 8.04 desk edition??? [01:53] Jordan_U, is there any way that you know of to try to bring that particular interface back up? [01:53] MTecknology: no kidding, me too [01:53] hey [01:53] no it is ubuntu is installed to the hard drive [01:53] hey people, i've an error occurred when i refresh synaptic... how can i solve this?^ [01:53] dec_, you mean desktop? [01:53] So, would this be the room to talk about an issue with Ubuntu 8.10? Or could someone point me in the right direction... I'm sorry, but I'm stuck on irssi for the time being, and /list shows tooooo many channels for me to hunt down. [01:53] cicero: Find out what kernel module creates it and load it with modprobe. Are you using ubuntu-eee 8.04.1 ? [01:53] darkhamm, what's the error? [01:53] At least with the Beta [01:54] Bashew_, try ubuntu-1 [01:54] Thanks [01:54] is there a ncurses/gui program for managing my apache sites on the cli? [01:54] JakeMon, if I was a sarcastic person I would say vim. [01:54] Jordan_U, yes i am === Knightlust is now known as Igorot [01:55] Whenever I try to run Firestarter I get a message ath0 device is not ready, anyone know why that happens? [01:55] is there a way to resize a partition while accessing it? [01:55] okay, usser it's downloading now. [01:55] Wapples, no. [01:55] Jordan_U, wait how I find out which version I'm runningI simply typed in uname -a, and for me that produced the kernel number which was 2.6.24-21 [01:55] -eeepc [01:55] cabrioleur: lol [01:55] Excuse Me for going off-topic. I am working on my Midterm for c++ due Monday.......Where can I get help with programming c++ on ubuntu using MonoDevelop [01:55] it was a good answer [01:56] i didint think so [01:56] i just didint want to have to burn gparted again [01:56] Jordan_U, how I find out which kernel module I need to reload that particular driver? [01:56] Aeonis, cool [01:56] cicero: I don't use ubuntu eee myself, Does it have ubuntu netboot remix or a more standard desktop? [01:57] know I'm currently working with the net book remix [01:57] ubuntu eee was awful [01:57] just go with regular ubunut [01:57] why does linux's sound turn into shit [01:57] when it's done usser, I may have to bug you again. I'm trying to learn security. [01:57] gots to have this installed. [01:57] !language [01:57] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:57] Ubuntu hasn't been made for EEE PC [01:57] GuZ: What's horrible about it out of curiosity? [01:57] Efrem_S, as for monodev you can ask in #mono, as for c++, you can ask in #c++ [01:57] There's a ubunutu eee kernal at array.org [01:57] Aeonis, cool so open terminal [01:57] can anyone tell me the command to reset audio? [01:57] It's probably a better choice. [01:58] my sound's not workin [01:58] Aeonis, where did u save it? [01:58] it doesn't really matter I'm simply trying to get wireless functionality working from a command prompt and I don't think the particular front end on the distribution makes a big difference here [01:58] cabrioleur: Thank You [01:58] Jordan_U, the default maximizer, the awful and resource eating launcher mostly [01:58] it's still going usser...only 7% done. [01:58] why is ubuntu EEE so awful? [01:58] oh jeez! It ssays 45 minutes remaining...taking forever!!! [01:58] GuZ: should use arch eee, that's where it's at [01:58] htmljunkie, what do you mean? [01:58] cicero: No, but it tells me if you are using 8.04 or 8.04.1 ( only 8.04.1 comes with netbook remix ) [01:58] GuZ said ubuntu eee is awefuk [01:58] i thought the eee pc was pretty good [01:58] dunno what that is, bruenig, currently using just regular xubuntu [01:58] awful [01:58] can anyone tell me the command to reset audio? [01:58] There is 8.04.1? Wow. [01:58] he didn't explain why [01:58] http://www.array.org/ubuntu/ [01:59] er. [01:59] http://www.array.org/ubuntu/ <- has an optimized kernal [01:59] GuZ: arch is a distro, it uses the linux kernel and gnu tools [01:59] Apparetly for use with 8.04 [01:59] Not sure how useful it is though [01:59] how to set ubuntu to support touchpad? [01:59] No On the CD jacket, ithas "Ubuntu8.04.1 LTS desktop edition",why is better [01:59] what is the java sdk called in linux? [01:59] what makes it better than my current xubuntu [01:59] joanki123, are you using alsa or pulseaudio? [01:59] I switched my keyboard layout to Dell (It's only the basic one) and it still won't pick up the extra keys. [01:59] I want to install java [01:59] okay so perhaps at this point I'm thinking that I need to simply shut down the PC? [01:59] um... both but let me check [01:59] writing, java sdk [01:59] Tokorona: compile your own if you want the most possible optimized kernel [01:59] how do I install it in ubuntu [02:00] hey, what's the main diff between ubuntu, kubuntu, and xubuntu? [02:00] cabrioleur, alsa [02:00] writing: you know about apt get? [02:00] yes, but I don't know how to query it [02:00] burenig: I just want something that would... well, get wireless support working for now. I can recompile it later. :/ [02:00] ubuntu = gnome, kubuntu = kds, xubuntu = xfce [02:00] Tokorona: Do you need ubuntu eee edition instaleld before installing that? [02:00] No. [02:00] writing: apt-cache search, or if you prefer a gui use synaptic [02:00] Jordan_U, so any idea on how I could try to bring this interface up again or should I shut down the computer and restarts try to get that working [02:01] xfce <3 [02:01] xfce? I've not seen this yet.....same for KDS... [02:01] Just 8.04 [02:01] cabrioleur, you there still? [02:01] I usee alsa [02:01] Aeonis: xfce uses less resources [02:01] so does anyone know why Firestarter is telling me that my ath0 device isnt ready whenever i try to run it? [02:01] Jordan_U, so I'm going to reboot [02:01] better than gnome and kde l7? [02:01] Aeonis: he meant KDE [02:01] ahhh. [02:02] and if this doesn't work, I'm simply going to have to boot back into Windows because I have some important work of getting it done for tomorrow and this operating system just isn't reliable enough for me [02:02] or I'm not smart enough to get it working correctly . . . [02:02] how to install touchpad driver? [02:02] joanki123, sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [02:02] Is xfce nice on the visual end, or is it rather bland? [02:02] EEE PC's are a rip to me, they just keep updating them so you waste all that money on one and they come out with one like a month or two later lol [02:02] thank you!!!!! [02:02] now this looks like it will even reboot, I am getting the error CIFS VFS: server not responding, no response for cmd 50 mid 32165 [02:03] I don't mind the bland, but when the lady uses it, I'd like for her to be happy. [02:03] Aeonis, it is nice but simplistic. I would say it's pretty and modern. [02:03] nice! [02:03] Aeonis XFCE is like using windows 2k basically [02:03] with the interface look [02:03] htmljunkie, whaaaaat? [02:03] :) [02:03] thats a good analogy [02:03] I prefer gnome [02:04] me too:P [02:04] htmljunkie: I disagree vehemently on that [02:04] lol [02:04] Gnome + Compiz + Emerald + AWN:P [02:04] I don't think the concept behind XFce has anything to do with Windows UI. [02:04] !offtopic [02:04] XFCE has no real eyecandy to it [02:04] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:04] scary comparison htmljunkie ... I'm moving away from Windows. [02:04] look, i don't know what's up tonight... BUT we have a very nice channel, #ubuntu-offtopic [02:04] Aeonis get the new KDE or gnome [02:04] you'll be happy [02:04] THIS channel is for support, on the other hand [02:04] htmljunkie: I'm on Ubuntu 8.04. I like it :D [02:05] Aeonis: Look at some XFCE screenshots, it's nothing like win2k [02:05] LjL, and somebody asked about XFce :-) [02:05] dang! [02:05] Hey, I'm going to reboot and come back. I want this to download a little faster... [02:05] it was more or less a comparison with the look of 2k IN the sense that the UI isn't eyecandy [02:05] that's all [02:05] how do the various linux distros for the eeepc stack up? [02:05] hi all....I've never seen this happen before. I'm trying out the livecd of Hardy on a new PC, and resolution looks great, but my LCD monitor keeps blinking off and back on at irregular intervals. The monitor works fine with other PCs. Anybody know anything? [02:05] unles syou guys know a better way. Last time, it took about 8 minutes. Now it's taking about 50 [02:06] Problem with installing ubuntu8.04. I click one of the top two options, locks for 4 seconds with HDD sounds, then I get back control. [02:06] there's this ubuntu version somewhere and what looks like an older xubuntu [02:06] Jordan_U, so I've rebooted the computer and I have my ra0 interface backup it says that it's currently waiting on the network key and the network manager applet it shows that my network has 100% signal strength, but it is not giving me the opportunity to enter or change or view any processes in order to troubleshoot this [02:06] l7: better off asking in #eeepc [02:06] The console has a bunch of I/O errors too when the console pops up, if ever. [02:06] LjL: k thanks [02:06] I'm trying the 32 bit version on 64 now anyway. [02:07] one of the things that I'd like about this application is that it would give me some information to troubleshoot with. That has traditionally been one of the strong things that I've liked about Linux is that it lease provides the information that I can work with but this network manager gives me absolutely nothing except a spinning icon that says waiting for the network key [02:07] hi there, Xubuntu is very good!!! super tiptop [02:07] * GuZ highfives Chickengeorge [02:07] w00t [02:07] Go Xubuntu! [02:07] Although I still cant get Firestarter working :( [02:07] and thus cant connect to Xbox Lie [02:07] Live [02:08] is there anything I can do while waiting for the network key for the wireless network? Is there any tool that I can install it would give me some ability to troubleshoot wireless or is it something that simply works or it doesn't? [02:08] Is anyone decent with firestarter? [02:08] what is firestarter? [02:09] a firewall [02:09] GuZ: why do you need firestarter? Why not just go without a firewall? [02:09] it's a graphical front end to iptables [02:09] Its a type of firewall, but its also used to make a bridge [02:09] cicero: If you want to see what actions are being taken by the wireless card you can use iwevent, not sure if that will be of any help though [02:09] it's a firewall [02:09] ah, I see [02:09] danbh_intrepid, because I read I could use it as a bridge for my 360 [02:09] does anyone know how to convert cells whos values are the output of a function to 'static' cells in gnumeric? [02:09] But have no idea how to do any of it :( [02:09] Can you burn the ubuntu8.04live iso to advd and it work? [02:09] Jordan_U, yes I need something that is in the sweet spot of providing information that would help me troubleshoot but not dumping a bunch of binary data or erp data on me [02:10] PassionFRUI7E: Yes, there are also DVD images [02:10] cicero, tried "nm-tool" perhaps? [02:10] This is my fifth burn of an 8.04 and none have worked... [02:10] I just try to run that but it can't find the executable and it also can't find a package to install nm-tool [02:11] okay I got a running it seems that everything is correct except that it says there is both WEP, WPA AND WPA2 (I only have wpa) [02:11] danbh_intrepid, going without a firewall is a security risk. Proper security measures will result in safer Linux environment. [02:11] and of course I have no IP address [02:12] cicero: I believe that list just means that they are supported [02:12] so that application seems to just provide information on my current connection status and not helpful information on how to establish a connection which currently does not exist [02:12] anyone know why when I delete a message from Evolution (using my Gmail account) it doesn't delete the copy from Gmail? I have "When messages are accessed with POP delete Gmail's copy" set in Gmail. [02:12] Jordan_U, okay got it is there anything else I can do order I simply decided to give up on this [02:12] PassionFRUI7E, have you tried to add any kernel options during startup? [02:12] and consider that this is only a distribution that I can work with a wired connection and that hopefully someday someone will develop a network tool that allows connectivity to wireless networks for linux [02:12] No I have not. Msg me, brb 2 min. [02:12] with my particular wireless card [02:13] cicero: You can try using iwconfig to setup the network, but if you need to get something done soon I would give up now honestly :( [02:14] cicero, surely if the card isn't recognized in the first place, n-m will do naught about it [02:14] Jordan_U, got it thanks for your advice -- I'll try back in a month or two and see if someone is fixed this problem. LjL, the card is currently recognized that there's no way it can connect to my network, or give me any information to troubleshoot with and why the network connection is not being established [02:15] how can i format my drive to ntfs ? [02:15] cicero, get rid of n-m and try to configure it manually is my advice [02:15] thanks everyone for your help, now to get to work ( unfortunately on Windows :<) [02:15] riegersn: man mkfs.ntfs [02:16] ? [02:17] ?? [02:17] ???????????????// [02:17] Hello? [02:17] Yes? [02:18] soory [02:18] *sorry [02:18] why does removing evolution-data-server-common require the removal of ubuntu-desktop, gnome-applets etc.? I would be left with nothing if I were to remove evolution it seems >:( [02:18] Never been in a chat room before [02:18] xomp, inter-dependencies :-D [02:18] let alone Ubuntu [02:18] cabrioleur, nice, so you're restricted from downsizing your footprint in ubuntu because of this :( [02:19] xomp, yes. [02:19] linux for human beings amirite? lmao [02:19] Failtacular, if you want to chat about Linux, and not looking for help, you are welcome to #ubuntu-offtopic [02:20] xomp, as it says, it's for human beings, not geeks! ;-) [02:20] is ubuntu 8.10 rc only available as a dvd iso? i can't see a cd image on the ubuntu site... [02:20] should i give up my firestarter problem in here D: [02:21] cabrioleur, I find it unrealistic to have the OS uninstall (basically) just from removing the email software lol, who made that decision? hah [02:21] Does anyone use ddclient with afraid.org, or any other IP update utility with afraid.org services? I need some help. [02:21] xomp, it's a discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic or other channel. If I say what I think here, they will burn me on stake and kidnap my dog. [02:21] why this find: find . -name *.sh in directory /usr/bin WORKS! However in /home/me/tmp it says: find: paths must precede expression [02:22] Hey guys, anyone ever had an issue with resizing a vista formated NTFS drive using gparted? it wont show the free space whatsoever :S [02:23] kevsthabest, yes, if your ntfs partition is damaged. You need to fix it with ntfsfix or windows based software. [02:23] *Ahem* [02:23] cabrioleur: thank you, i will give ntfsfix a try [02:23] dgs http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/ [02:23] cabrioleur: There is alsothe Channel: ##C++ for direct c++ help.....again thanks....A good friend of mine opened my eyes up to the wonderful world of linux. I am new but learning alot :) [02:24] I am attempting to install hardy on an older thinkpad iseries, the installer boots, partitioner hangs at 33%, searched google, no joy [02:24] help? [02:24] using the acpi=off and noapic switches already [02:24] T_Davis: did you make sure that the image was bured correctly [02:24] grrrrrrrrrrr [02:24] compiz in kde is killing me [02:24] Efrem_S, welcome on board, mate :-) [02:25] everything seems to be working ok..accept i cant adjust it in any way. [02:25] yes, md5 checks, check cd works, installs fine on other machines [02:25] T_Davis: then i have no idea sorry [02:25] its acting like its hunting the floppy drive [02:25] Rave1_: cheers =) for some reason google sent me to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/rc/ which only had the dvds. dowloading now =) [02:25] is there a switch something like nofloppy? [02:26] anyone know when the new openoffice 3.0 will make it into the repos? [02:26] cabrioleur: Thank you and it is an Honor to be aboard....P.S: My friend is practically a Guru....He is one of the best at Ubuntu [02:26] hi all [02:26] many people in here! :) [02:26] runman: i should be in the interpid repos [02:26] i'm running interpid but still 2.4.1?? === r0nn1e is now known as maryinjor [02:27] runman: wow, that is crazy... have you check to see if its on getdeb.net? [02:27] T_Davis, you can turn it off in BIOS. I recommend several additional options for installation: noapic, nolapic, pnpbios=off, and the ones you had before. [02:28] i'm not using proposed or backports repos but the others [02:28] Does ubuntu support wireless cards well? [02:28] cabrioleur: Have you ever heard of nothing happening for 4 seconds after selecting one of the installation options? [02:28] some [02:28] <_2> how hard is it to convert my ubuntu router from all static to a dhcp server ? [02:28] PassionFRUI7E, yes, it's normal. Something does happens, just hidden. [02:29] Then its like you never clcked anything, back to selecting options. I've never gotten to the desktop. [02:29] Then how I run linux like the tutorals? [02:29] Sorry, half-broken "i" key. [02:29] About to dist-upgrade to Intrepid. Wish me luck. [02:29] GLHF. [02:29] heya everyone, anyone know how to fix the freezing issue when acpi is on? [02:30] <[ipc]-michael> is intreped ready? [02:30] <[ipc]-michael> ill dist upgrade with you... [02:30] I've been trying for hours to install ubuntu8.04... [02:30] Intrepid's seven days away. I always upgrade a few days early to beat the hammering on the server. [02:30] Servers. [02:30] PassionFRUI7E: I'm willing to bet you're having the same issue with acpi [02:30] <[ipc]-michael> so you're installing beta? [02:30] Totally. [02:30] ACPI? [02:31] <[ipc]-michael> hmmm [02:31] But it's beta that's only 7 days away from being production quality. There's not much will happen between now and then. [02:31] <[ipc]-michael> ive got proposed updates in my repos, i supposed im pretty close anyway [02:31] PassionFRUI7E, I would suggest multiple options for kernel during startup: noapic acpi=off nolapic pnpbios=off [02:31] PassionFRUI7E: Yeah, you can get some things done during install and then all of a sudden everything freezes? You can still move the cursor but you can't do anything with it? [02:31] KK. Will try. [02:31] Yes. I've never been able to do anything but select boot from HD. [02:32] PassionFRUI7E: to add to what cabrioleur said, i have to use acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, and edd=on to not freeze [02:32] FYI I have 64 bit 2x2.0 hp pavilon dv7-1130us 4gigs [02:32] kk [02:32] Thanks so much. [02:32] whats edd? [02:32] PassionFRUI7E: Are you installing from a livecd? [02:32] does anyone know where i can download ubotu for use on my own channel? [02:32] home premium [02:32] live, yes. [02:33] I have an empty 60 gig thats unpartitioned [02:33] PassionFRUI7E: When you boot from the cd and it has all of the options press F6 and select all the options and press escape and then type them into the command line shown [02:33] T_Davis, enhanced disk drive support [02:33] hurm, may help me [02:33] Hm? Okay? nkei0 === Rika is now known as Tokorona [02:33] Isn't there more though to actually install it? [02:33] I have zero linux experience... [02:34] Yeah, I mean when you select those options it shouldn't freeze during the install [02:34] KK. === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL [02:34] Then select the top install option? or the second? [02:34] I just want to be able to play rented DVD's in my Linux... please help. Is there a one-in-all codec package that is easy to load? [02:34] I'm keeping vista. [02:34] I vaguely remember an alternative kernel I had to use on my tp770, but I dont remember what it was [02:34] LightTitan: VLC [02:35] I have that installed, it's not playing the DVD [02:35] ancient old thing [02:35] PassionFRUI7E: I've never tried the 64 bit, what are the two options? [02:35] I cant remember..Top one is like install without touching hd and second is normal [02:35] PassionFRUI7E, doesn't metter at this point, I always use the top one. [02:35] k. [02:35] LightTitan: You could also try classic media player, it can pretty much play anything. [02:36] Any way to install without burning a cd? [02:36] PassionFRUI7E: the one without touching the HD is just a trial to use it without affecting anything, to actually install it you have to put it on the HD [02:36] I just burnt my last one and need to hit the store tomorrow lol... [02:36] LightTitan, you need to install libdvdcss2 [02:36] K. [02:36] PassionFRUI7E: You can boot from a USB stick. [02:36] why this find: find . -name *.sh in directory /usr/bin WORKS! However in /home/me/tmp it says: find: paths must precede expression [02:36] I do have a 2gb stick [02:36] cabrioleur: this could be an issue, bios reads the drive as 4.6gb partitioner reads as 4.9 [02:36] 2gb stick sux [02:36] LightTitan, /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [02:37] PassionFRUI7E: It will work as long as when you have it in and go into bios you can select it to boot first. [02:37] LightTitan, unless you are living in USA then it's illegal. [02:37] cabrioleur: just point him to medibuntu for that [02:37] Yes I can change order. [02:37] Extract iso to root directory? [02:37] ok I will try that Cabrioleur [02:38] PassionFRUI7E: I can't remember the exact procedure for it, but if you google installing from a usb stick you can find it [02:38] Thanks. Got it. [02:38] PassionFRUI7E: search for unetbootin, it will do it for you [02:39] runman: aha, thanks that's what it was, i couldn't remember off the top of my head [02:39] <[ipc]-michael> doing dist upgrade. wish me luck... [02:39] now I get "too many video packets in the buffer" [02:40] <[ipc]-michael> intrepid here i come [02:40] restarting X... [02:40] [ipc]-michael: you should be fine, i haven't had any problems yet that i didn't have in hardy === Tegal^Cape-Kerja is now known as salwa [02:40] I give up. I'll try again tomorrow... [02:42] Go go [ipc]-michael! Join the future. [02:43] hey, guys, I only have the terminal but the desktop, what do i need to do display Chinese in my terminal? [02:43] type in Chinese ::-D [02:44] Install the chinese language pack? [02:44] runman: I can't type in Chinese, becos I only have terminal [02:44] jamesish: would u mind being more specific? [02:44] he [02:44] 你们都能说英语？ [02:45] 好强悍阿！ [02:45] hekin: I've never done it, but I imagine that if you look around online you'll find some method of installing the language pack that supports chinese. Install that. [02:45] ajian：没法子，老外的群嘛，呵呵 [02:45] jamesish: thanks, man [02:45] hekin: thank me after it works :P [02:45] jamesish: OK [02:45] 哈哈 [02:46] 佩服 [02:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-240489.html talks about chinese language [02:46] jamesish: great!! [02:47] [ipc]-michael -- intrepid is currently a release candidate, so they're actually assuming it's stable enough that the current package/bugfix list is capable of becoming the real release. [02:48] looks like export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 might well get the lang variable correctly. But I don't know, as I know insufficient chinese to actually test it :P [02:48] hm. is there a way to set textwidth, like with vim's set textwidth=75 in gedit? [02:49] filth_: yes, but I'm drawing a blank right now. [02:50] what should I do when PhpPgAdmin export page showing blank page ?? [02:50] r2s1: panic! You've been hacked! [02:50] jamesish: are you trying to be funny. [02:50] i'm looking for a similar feature as the vim set textwidth=75. [02:51] filth_: in my response to you no, but I did misread your question. [02:52] filth_: there's a right margin setting you can set up. Sounds like the same thing, really. [02:52] filth_: Hm. You can show a margin at 75, but it doesn't force wraparound. [02:53] any open office word experts here? [02:53] i think it's called writer [02:53] wierd dhcp issue - fixing a eeepc running ubuntu the wireless settings got fubar'd and there is now a device called wlan0-avahi i've tried the follwoing http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2589498 and have gotten the wifi to connect to my network however the dhcp client seems to be jacked up. DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 etc [02:53] what do i have to install to get mod_rewrite for apache? the package names aren't obvious enough :-\ [02:53] jamesish: i'll take a look at that, thanks. [02:53] states network unreachable [02:53] well when you run it from the gnome dropdown it's openoffice.org Word Processor [02:54] Rideh, that shoudl probably be 255.255.255.1 [02:54] jamesish: I've installed language-pack-zh for Chinese, it doesn't work [02:54] rambo298: whats your question [02:54] hekin: told you that thanks was premature ;) [02:54] hey look at that it is [02:54] i want less than single spacing between lines; i only see 1 11/2 and double spacing [02:54] Does anyone know how to get a USB CardBus Adapter to work in Ubuntu? [02:54] filth_, not really, you can set up the margin and text wrapping. [02:54] Vantrax: No, 255.255.255.255 is correct in that case. [02:55] Scrolling problem again... [02:55] jamesish: I own u a apology for tt:-D [02:55] if you see 1 11/2 and double spacing select 1 [02:55] i did; i want smaller than 1 ... the lines are too far apart [02:55] jamesish: but how to display simplified Chinese character in my Ubuntu's terminal? [02:55] So my question is where can i modify the config for dhcp? i've restarted the service but cant seem to find any conf files for it [02:55] hekin: I also export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 [02:56] rambo298: set it to fixed and you can specify and size [02:57] and = any [02:57] runman: ty [02:57] Hi there, I have installed Ubuntu from Windows and need to reinstall it, for some reason I can't find the partition where it is located -- under Drive Management in Vista it shows the drive as having one partition using all the space. How can I get rid of Ubuntu so I may reinstall it? [02:58] hekin: I'm honestly not sure. Did you export the environment variable I displayed above? [02:58] jamesish: which one? [02:58] If you add it to your .bashrc, log out and log in that should show whether it works. Make sure you have another terminal open so you can fix anything easily if something goes wrong. [02:58] Ah, okay [02:58] dissentience: when you install Ubuntu inside windows I believe the drive is virtual and only a single file [02:58] jamesish: u mean LANG [02:58] (07:48:11 PM) jamesish: looks like export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 might well get the lang variable correctly. But I don't know, as I know insufficient chinese to actually test it [02:59] jamesish: OK, I'll relogin to find out [02:59] what do i have to install to get mod_rewrite for apache? the package names aren't obvious enough :-\ ... anyone know or can tell me how to figure it out? [02:59] hi folks, created a usb live for 8.04 using the howto in the forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=740924). when i tried to do the same for 8.10 beta, it gives me "unknown command in syslinux.cfg". any idea what's wrong? [02:59] runman - I have Show Hidden Files and Folders on, and don't see the file [02:59] I got a USB Card Bus Adapter that goes into my PC Card slot...but Ubuntu isnt recognizing it...any suggestions? [02:59] I do however see a folder called ubuntu... I am assuming this is it? [03:00] what is in the ubuntu folder [03:00] Hey all. I'm running Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy) on one of my boxes, and want to do an upgrade. What do you guys think the best way to do this would be? [03:00] disks / docs / install / winboot / couple txt's / ubuntu icon / uninstall EXE that doesn't do anything [03:00] hekin: just bear in mind that's in the bashrc, so it talks to bash specifically. [03:00] zackattack, do you have data you need on the box? [03:00] mouseboyx: yes definitely [03:00] jamesish: all the Chinese chars are replaced with little diamonds [03:00] check under disks [03:01] boot / shared / root.disk and swap.disk [03:01] zackattack, i would just back it up then do a fresh install if it was me. [03:01] mouseboyx: may prove difficult, i need to do this remotely [03:01] I would wait untill you dont have to do it remotely. [03:02] root.disk and swap.disk are the virtual drives I was talking about [03:02] runman why would the uninstall EXE not work properly? [03:02] mouseboyx: not an option === Doc8404 is now known as DocUSN-USMC [03:02] i double-click it and it does nothing [03:02] I wont' [03:02] hekin: That's good and bad. Good because it means something's working, bad because it means we have to find the right language pack and install it. Go forth and research ;) [03:02] windows doesn't know what to do with it === DocUSN-USMC is now known as Doc8404 [03:03] even though it's an EXE file? [03:03] I'm talking about the *.disk files. [03:03] jamesish: OK, deal:)\ [03:03] oh, true [03:03] i mean, there is an uninstall-ubuntu.exe file that does nothing [03:03] just reinstall [03:03] zackattack, just do sudo apt-get upgrade ? [03:03] so delete the whole folder, put in my Ubuntu CD and reinstall? [03:04] that would probably work but I haven't tested [03:04] how else would you suggest doing it? [03:04] Hardy 8.04 Compiz 0.7.4 [03:05] I install to separate partition, not inside windows. Better performance running native instead of virtual [03:06] right, but how would i go about removing the virtual properly so i can reinstall [03:06] dissentience: if u installed ubuntu with wubi, then u can uninstall it like other apps in win***s [03:06] i didn't install it with Wubi i don't think, but i did install it from Windows [03:06] either way, when i try to remove it from Add/Remove Programs it doesn't work; nothing happens [03:07] delete the ubuntu folder [03:07] Good evening guys! Q: In prior to 8.04 version, I used to change my display in xorg.config but in 8.04 and 8.10 there is barely anything there. How do I manipulate video card's resolution, etc? Thanks [03:07] how did u install from windows without wubi ? [03:07] any idea why my wlan0 will be connected, shows device but cant obtain a lease from the dhcp server? errors out with no working leases in persistent database and i dont have mac filtering or anything enabled [03:07] hello [03:07] e-frame: vmware? [03:07] i just put in the CD and double-clicked umenu.exe from it [03:07] Rideh: MAC filtering? [03:07] I'm new here [03:07] i do see a wubi.exe on the CD now too though [03:07] you can add to xorg.conf but the new xorg server autodetects most settings [03:08] so it must have used wubi === RonzO is now known as Marfi [03:08] Rideh: that was my question for dissentience. sorry [03:08] where can i get the fnord? [03:08] mneptok: router option to allow only known mac's [03:08] Hardy 8.0.4 compiz 0.7.4 emerald 0.7.2 I am trying to get emerald to run in compiz when I type emerald --replace in console the console border changed but disappeared when I close console [03:08] !wubi > dissentience [03:08] dissentience, please see my private message [03:08] Rideh: so then you need to add the MAC address to the router's whitelist [03:09] thank you e-frame [03:09] mneptok: it is not turned on [03:10] mneptok: thats what i'm tryng to say is that there is no reason i can think of why it wouldnt obtain info from the dhcp server [03:10] Rideh: check the dhcpd server logs? [03:10] cant - its a router [03:10] you mean the dhcpd daemon? [03:10] dissentience: yw [03:11] Rideh: yes. [03:11] Rideh: if your router doesn't provide a logging mechanism, that's ... some seriously cheap hardware ;) [03:12] mneptok: i can take a look but i dont think it logs dhcp hits [03:12] Rideh: who makes the router? [03:12] linksys [03:13] give me a sec and i'll look [03:13] this eeepc is a pain in the ass to type on [03:13] Rideh: check out dd-wrt for the linksys [03:13] i have big hands. so i have to use my pinkys [03:13] How small is the keyboard really, i was looking to get a netbook? [03:13] i run that on my wrt54 [03:13] pinksys? [03:13] i thought you said linksys [03:13] *bah dum tish* [03:14] mneptok: boooo! [03:14] mouseboyx: not comfortable for me at all 6'2" i use a ibmt61p 14.1" and love it [03:14] Someone recommend a good webdav client for ubuntu. [03:14] this eeepc is... i guess it'd be find with a extra keyboard [03:15] mouseboyx: i can type quicker on my htc shadow than on this eeepc [03:15] Rideh I have small fingers so i guess it wouldn't matter... [03:15] Debolaz: Nautilus [03:15] easier for me to type on my phone than this though [03:15] mneptok: Isn't that the default file browser for ubuntu? [03:15] Debolaz: correct [03:15] i guess it'd work for lightweight situations - but i rather just have my t61p :) [03:15] Debolaz: and don;t you want to browse files? [03:16] mneptok: It's extremely buggy, bordering to useless when it comes to webdav. [03:16] Debolaz: WFM [03:16] what does this mean? Can't list subversion repository: svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale svn: warning: environment variable LANG is aa_DJ.utf8 svn: warning: please check that your locale name is correct svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///vol/srv/www/htdocs/usvn/files/svn/easyrevisions' svn: Expected FS format '2'; found format '3' [03:17] JakeMon: your default language is Arabic-Djibouti [03:17] mneptok: how do i change it? === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix-da-catz [03:17] mac adress is, 19432 queens blvd, NY - Queens [03:18] mneptok: looks like the mac address from this eeepc isnt showing up on the dhcp client log in my router [03:18] Rideh: that would cause problems, yes. ;) [03:18] not doing mac filtering?? [03:19] no [03:19] its disabled right now [03:19] Rideh: try disabling authentication to the WAP and see if that helps connectivity [03:19] what tool is used in gnome to show ssid's? [03:20] er to find avail networks? [03:20] networkmanager?? [03:20] and why is wlan0 broken but wlan0:avahi on but when i attempt to configure it says device doesnt exist [03:20] i can't get youtube vids to go into fullscreen, any ideas? [03:20] I'm attempting to modify a metacity theme I found on gnome-look.org. The theme uses small .png images to create the window-border. The unfortunate thing about this is the images are rectangular, and I'm looking to have rounded corners. As it stands, the corners are black, which looks fine against a black background, but it's completely visible against any other color. Does metacity support the transparent alpha channel when drawi [03:21] can someone suggest an easy dynamic IP client to update my IP with my server with freedns.afraid.org services? [03:21] runman: where is network manager at by default? i'm not findin git [03:21] in ubuntu, [03:21] its the network icon in the top right corner [03:22] which program is more compatible with Microsoft - OpenProj or Planner? [03:22] has anyone beem able to watch a youtube vid in fullscreen? [03:23] J-_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicDNS [03:23] drumstyk1, yes, but it is laggggggy [03:23] runman: when i go there there are 2 options wired network (grey) and manual configuration [03:24] J-_: apt-get install inadyn [03:24] hello, how can i lock my keyboard, so when i press my keys they don't do anything, something like a combination of keys... i remember in windows there was a function, something like shift f11, but now i can't see how to do it. is there any ubuntu counterpart of that function? === johnny_ is now known as Guest79993 [03:25] Marfi: so is it normal for the fullscreen button to not work for more than a split second? [03:25] lol bfig just playing around now i accidentaly found it ctrl+alt+L [03:26] mouseboyx: that locks me but the screen changes, i want to see the current screen and my keyboard be disabled [03:26] drumstyk1, full screen works for me fine, but it lags. i have a pretty decent vid card and processor, and it still lags. its almost better just to watch it small imo [03:26] . [03:26] drumstyk1, i prefer small and smooth as opposed to big and choppy. just my 2 cents though. =) [03:27] Bfig, that does not exist to my knewledge [03:27] Marfi: same here w/ the cpu and vid card. i was hoping there was a solution but i suppose i will have to deal with it [03:27] mouseboyx: when i click on the logout icon there is a lock screen option that I think does what you want [03:27] drumstyk1, new version is out in a few days *crosses fingers* [03:27] Marfi, Flash videos? [03:28] mouseboyx: thanks =( [03:28] I screwed up the sudoers file... and now I can't edit it because I need to 'sudo' to edit it. SUgestions? [03:28] Just boot off a CD and replace it? [03:28] Marfi: diable visual effects [03:28] *disable [03:28] thanks for helpin guys i'll work on it more tommorrow long day today [03:28] DavidCraft: boot to recovery mode and fix it [03:28] mneptok, never run with them [03:29] meh, k [03:29] Marfi: what video chipset? [03:29] mneptok, nvidia 7600 gtx with 512 ram, and a p4 2.4 ghz [03:30] 512 meg video ram, 1 gig ram [03:30] laptop is a centrino with 2 gigs of ram, and same problem. runs regular movies without a fart or hickup [03:30] Marfi are we talking about flash videos? [03:30] Marfi: whose drivers? [03:30] Any easy way to find IN files? like in the content of a .pdf ? [03:31] Marfi: damn, i will make the boyfriend keep up with it [03:31] mouseboyx, yea, but i just watch them smaller. mneptok what do you mean with the drivers? drumstyk1 , thats what my girlfriend does. =) [03:31] Woody86: how about open office base [03:32] Marfi: youtube plays fullscreen fine here, ubuntu 8.10 [03:32] qbmaniac - cat /this/folder/* | grep "something" mebbe? [03:32] Marfi: free drivers (e.g. Nouveau) or binary blobs (nvidia-glx*)? [03:32] mneptok, binary blobs. runman what driver? [03:32] radeon [03:32] Marfi, this is an error with flash, because it for the most part sucks, you can use "video download helper" to download them in flv format then open them with mplayer or totem for perfect fullscreen [03:32] i have ati video card [03:32] mneptok: Alright I am in rescue mode, and I seam to only be able to edit the file in 'read only' and I cant sudo or anything [03:33] DavidCraft: mount the partition read/write [03:33] how can I get the best of both worlds: full-screen command line with "screen," plus irc and a browser running on X11, with the ability to paste between the two? [03:33] mouseboyx, its hoenstly not that big of a deal for me. how are the open drivers? [03:33] copy/paste [03:33] ok then [03:33] halberd: ctl-shift-c/v [03:34] mneptok: In the tutorial, it says, "Edit the file to add the following additional line: @reboot /usr/sbin/inadyn" I have no clue what that means. Do I put, "@reboot /usr/sbin/inadyn" in the crontab? [03:34] halberd, different workspace with full screen terminal + the brower and irc [03:34] halberd, or you can alt + f* and switch workspace like that to give yourself a full screen terminal [03:34] e-frame - i'm open to suggestions :) Is Base really more compatible than OpenProj or Planner? [03:34] J-_: yeah, that's what they mean, but that's ugly. better to add it to Upstart ;) [03:34] Upstart? [03:34] Never heard of it. [03:35] J-_: Ubuntu's SysV-init replacement [03:35] Upstart took over from the init scripts a while back. [03:35] anything like SMF on Solaris or djb's daemontools? [03:35] IS that possible to copy over an installation of ubuntu? I have a server that is setup well, with datas and all but I installed 2 new drives in it in order to make raid mirroring. I re-ran the install and setup raid and everything is functionnal. Can I just copy over all the datas on my older drive? I guess the kernel has to have some different modules or something in order to load the software raid... any idea? [03:35] Hey, When running dstat, only every other line, does it actually show the network transfer rate. On the other lines the transfer rates (up and down) are at 0. Any idea why and how to fix? [03:35] How do I get upstart running? [03:35] Marfi: yeah, my bf doesn't know anything about ubuntu but i give him google assignments now and then [03:35] yes marfi that's what I've been doing with alt-f* but is it possible to make a workspace appear exactly like text mode? [03:35] jamesish, is Upstart anything like SMF on Solaris or djb's daemontools? [03:36] can someone help me with a wireless problem, i was connected fine and suddenly my wireless stopped working and i booted to a live cd and to dapper and it still didnt work even when i swapped out the cards [03:36] Im getting an error opening a power point presentation with presenter, "General Error.\nGeneral input/output error." [03:36] right now im on windows [03:36] let me reformulate: How do I copy all a server's data that was on a single hard drive to an array? [03:36] ubuntu finds the card the drivers are loaded it just doesnt connect [03:36] i.e. no menus, no distracting mouse pointer [03:36] halberd, you can use ctrl alt + arrow key and just open a terminal there. i like it like that, because you have to mess with configs to get the resolution < 800 x 600 [03:36] Joker_-_, if its a hardware raid then ubuntu doesnt care as long as its supported by kernel [03:37] halberd, *dont have to mess [03:37] can someone please help i cant get on the internet anymore [03:37] Server.Datas.ToArray() ? [03:37] usser_: sadly, it's not. I'ts software [03:37] Joker_-_, its gonna see the array as a regular single disk [03:37] Joker_-_, and the modules for hardware are loaded on startup [03:37] Guest79993, your here, so it must be working. =P [03:37] marfi but then how do you copy paste [03:37] between X and the terminal [03:37] usser_: as previously said, sadly, it's not [03:37] hence my presence here [03:37] freetown: more like apple's startup stuff. [03:37] stfu Marfi [03:37] Guest79993, whats the problem? [03:37] lol [03:37] halberd, ctrl shift v [03:37] halberd, when workign with the terminal [03:37] I want to move my / partition to another hard drive. Can I do this under linux? [03:38] my computer isnt connecting to wireless networks [03:38] Joker_-_: dd or rsync [03:38] Joker_-_, sorry, i've never dealt with software raid. sorry i jumped in like that [03:38] jamesish, oh...is that what hardy heron uses? [03:38] well with screen I need to do C-a [03:38] im getting a signal it just doesnt connect [03:38] cens0red, yes of course [03:38] Guest79993, what card? [03:38] four marfi [03:38] freetown: yeah, it is. Do a little read up on it if you like, but it's dry stuff. [03:38] usser_ but how? [03:38] linksys wireless g , two intel mini ipw2200 and an atheros g [03:38] mneptok: rsync and/or dd will overwrite all the kernel's modules and so on. then the system wont boot [03:38] all have the drivers but none connect [03:38] Hi guys. I'm having some trouble setting up samba shares with ubuntu. I've got 2 machines both running hardy, both attached to the same router. (one wirelessly, one wired) and they can both ping each other. I've set up sharing on 2 folders (right clicking the folder, sharing options etc) and from Computer 1 I can access the share easily...just smb://192.168.0.6/Shared in nautilus, it asks for username and password and we're away. Problem is from [03:38] Comp 2 to Comp 1 it's not accepting any username or password and won't mount the share [03:39] terminal has no mouse [03:39] it's just a tty [03:39] ctrl shift v doesn't work I think... [03:39] i think its an issue with network manager [03:39] jamesish, sure, thanks [03:39] mneptok: either be more specific or forget the whole idea [03:39] Guest79993, the ipw2200 will be the best bet for you [03:39] halberd, it should [03:39] Sorry for the long question. Any help would be much appreciated. === drumstyk1 is now known as ubuntuchicka [03:39] Joker_-_: "try using the applications dd or rsync" [03:39] none of them are working Marfi [03:39] halberd, it does. just tried it [03:39] under linux, is there a reason for an anti-virus [03:39] halberd, to copy its ctrl shift v [03:39] mneptok: davfs2 worked. :) [03:39] mneptok: havent you just read what i said? What about the kernel and grub and all. System just wont boot. [03:39] justin_: only to make sure you don't pass them on to windows-using friends [03:40] cens0red, boot into live cd use fdisk -l to figure out which partition is your / its usually something like sda1 [03:40] justin_, unless your runnign a server for windows machines or paranoid, nope [03:40] a good electronic channel? [03:40] Joker_-_: did you even look at dd? [03:40] are we on the same page? [03:40] in irc [03:40] I am thinking you are talking about running a TTY with screen, and then running X11 separately [03:40] Debolaz: nifty! [03:40] NOT running a terminal as part of X11 [03:40] and i was gettign ready to answer him [03:40] dd copys a whole disk to an other [03:40] halberd, ah, ok. don't know how to paste it like that [03:40] !msn [03:40] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete [03:40] cens0red, if u want to copy it over to another disk connect it before you boot, that disk will probably be sdb [03:40] K i really didnt think I did. Im not the most experienced in linux, but working for it [03:40] Joker_-_: no, dd creates a bit-perfect copy of one volume to stdout [03:41] mneptok: I know it copies EVERYTHING, including MASTER BOOT RECORD. and THATS part of the problem as I will be using a software raid and I was using a single drive. [03:41] if everything is within X11 then I need a way to make some part of X11 act exactly like text mode, except for copy/paste [03:41] ussr just copy it? That's all there is to it? [03:41] cens0red, so open a terminal and type sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb [03:41] usser_ just copy it? That's all there is to it? [03:41] Joker_-_: then it sounds like you want rsync [03:41] mneptok: rsync will work around the kernel and all? [03:41] I don't want to just have a terminal window beside the gui stuff [03:41] cens0red, no u dont copy u use dd which byte by byte copying === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire [03:42] cens0red, careful though only do dd when u absolutely certain which disk is which [03:42] Joker_-_: rsync will sync what is on one drive (as presented by the filesystem) to what is on another.

[03:43] test [03:43] it failed because the kernel can't be the same AND grub has to know what to boot (I guess) === maryinjor is now known as ronnie [03:44] does anyone know how to make the extra visual effects auto-enable upon startup [03:44] mneptok: I did a full backup with the given command while chrooted to the old drive, then exited the chroot and unpacked the archive on the new / [03:44] Has anyone had any experience with ubuntu on Gigabit uplinks?

Anyone have an idea as to why it does this and how to fix it? [03:44] mneptok: to me, it sounds pretty much like what rsync would to [03:44] anybody know how to make my philips stereo work thrugh the USB input? lsusb sees it, but my sound drivers dont, any fix for this? [03:44] whats new in 8.10 ? [03:44] anyone else notice the edgy package repositories aren't working? [03:44] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [03:44] usser_ I have the linux main partition on my master hd, and a files partition on the slave hd. What happens if I just swap the jumpers, so the slave is now the master and vice versa? [03:44] mneptok: Thanks a lot :) [03:45] doesn't seam that there is a subversion 1.5 server/client in the default package list for ubuntu 8... anyone know how am i supposed to get 1.5? (trying to avoid compiling) [03:45] I'm getting the freeze problem EVEn after turning on the flags in the installer. [03:46] PassionFRUI7E, that sucks is it the 32bit version? [03:46] I think thats the 64 [03:46] !info subversion hardy-backports | JakeMon [03:46] jakemon: subversion (source: subversion): Advanced version control system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2~hardy2 (hardy-backports), package size 1244 kB, installed size 4096 kB [03:46] But I run 64 [03:46] !backports > JakeMon [03:46] JakeMon, please see my private message [03:46] Okay here's what I did. [03:47] I burnt the cd, it fires up [03:47] cens0red, i dont understand [03:47] cens0red, what filesystem files partition is formatted in? [03:47] cens0red, is it connected to your system right now? [03:47] cens0red, is your linux / partition smaller than files so that copy of it can fit in files partition [03:47] usser_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:47] i click the real install option, then it freezes for 3-4 seconds then i get control back [03:47] I clicked the flags, no change, i typed them in, no change [03:47] Probably some error in trying to load the kernel, you said your system was very new? [03:48] I bought it 29 days ago [03:48] HP DV7-1130US [03:48] Very new brand [03:48] Is it possible for me to create an msn account on linux? [03:48] Yeah, probably, not going to work if the chipset is very new, Try an older system or wait until yours is older [03:48] usser_ I have the / partition on disk sda, and a heap of files on sdb. I want to swap the jumpers around, so that the slave HD is now the master. Will I be able to easily change grub, so that linux now boots from sdb? [03:48] Sigh... [03:48] PassionFRUI7E: did you check the download with checksums to verify [03:48] Nope [03:48] But I burnt 3 isos [03:48] All seperately down loaded [03:48] did you try burning iso at slow speed. [03:49] I tried i think 2 variable and 1 in the middle of the max [03:49] try unetbootin and boot from usb [03:49] It looked complicated id probably screw that up too... [03:49] no, very easy, can be done from windows or linux. [03:50] cens0red, you will probably have to run grub-install to install grub on your former slave hdd and change devices.map to point to your former master which will become sdb [03:50] Oh unetbootin is the simple one, I read the manual [03:50] K, I'll go find my flash drive. [03:50] just run utility, select which distro you want to try and select usb drive [03:52] I have a Philips stereo with usb input, how do I set that up? need it for a temporary fix until I fix my audio jack. the stereo is supposed to function as USB speakers but it doesnt show up in my mixer. howerver it shows up as "philips" when i run lsusb. plz help [03:54] I'm playing with another distro of Linux on laptop and need advice how to remove ubuntu and use the other (DreamLinux) suggestions? [03:54] if you want to get rid of ubuntu entirely you could just install dreamlinux over it [03:54] scribawf, remove with all the data? [03:55] delete the partitions on which you have ubuntu installed and use the free space to install dreamlinux [03:55] uh will back up my evolution data [03:55] scribawf, if u have separate /home partition u can just format your / and install dreamlinux on it all your settings will be saved [03:55] was thinking of just clearing partition - that work? [03:56] how do I find the location of a file I just searched for? in the properties window, the full directory is too long, and it just cuts it off. [03:56] ok wow flooded with info will look em ALL over [03:56] I have like 50 folders and I've been browsing trying to find which one this damned file is in and I can't find it. [03:57] hey there... i just installed ubuntu and i'm trying to build a package, but it fails telling me that it cannot find the references to XQueryFont, XFreeFontInfo, XFlush and others... what package am i missing?

Why is the location of my files a complete mystery to locate? [04:01] dmoerner: i don't have apt-file installed... which package do i need? [04:01] I'd never seen a channel with so many people like this [04:01] scribawf, you can always back it up with sudo tar -czvf /home.tar.gz /home [04:02] scribawf, that will create a file home.tar.gz that contains all the files/folders from your /home [04:02] http://www.ihateyoujulia.com/?id=3b6a6f411f95489fd39af694f238c720 [04:02] I'm back. using that usb program.

[04:03] scribawf, you can write it on dvd or save across the net so after you install dreamlinux you can restore it with cd / ; tar -xvf /home.tar.gz [04:03] rubifyed: what pic are you up to? [04:04] usser; Again, Tnx much for complete guidance on this Dreamlinux looks alot like uvuntu [04:04] scribawf, no problem [04:04] usser; er Ununtu [04:04] usser: can't type either Ubuntu [04:04] *Ubuntu?

[05:13] supertanker: two things to do then. (1) make sure that all the updates have been run, it's possible that Pidgin has an update to fix an MSN problem since the ubuntu release ... [05:13] supertanker: there is no shockwave for Linux, only flash. [05:13] nalfonso it says partiton 1 is already defined [05:13] supertanker: and (2) make sure you didn't mistype your account info. [05:14] ALl right, I'll try again [05:14] supertanker: ahhhh, it could be 64 bit, I run 32 bit ubuntu so I can't say for sure.

[05:20] truthfully, gaintsura, we're at that level now [05:20] Doc8404: i think.... [05:20] with the slight exception of needing to run firefox in 32bit for flash [05:20] !64bit [05:20] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole for more information. [05:20] tank you Flannel [05:21] jabagawee: hm, and I imagine thats being fixed, what about intensive things like compiz/emerald/cairo-dock and virtualbox? [05:21] 64bit does not mean that intensive tasks don't work well. where'd that misconception come from? [05:21] lol [05:22] appologies, I'm not all here right now [05:22] nalfonso its jacked up lol [05:22] hello all...how do you get hardyheron to install on a mirror?

I also had problems with madwifi/ndiswrapper on my system in x64 heron, which is my main reason for asking [05:22] nalfonso do you think... i have the old hd on this thing on external casing. i can copy this like a mirror image to it. boot from the ext. use that to format and partiton this hd? and the mirror it back? [05:23] gaintsura, yeah, ndiswrapper is definitely not 64bit [05:24] is there an installer that supports raid and lvm for 8.04? [05:24] problem: so i have a ubuntu studio disc which i pulled some programs from, but now that i did that anytime i try and get something from synapatic manager or add/remove programs it wants me to insert the disc. it won't let me get anything. i tried putting the disc in and it tells me it's not in. can anyone help me?? [05:24] its not really ubuntu's fault. it's a side effect of what ndiswrapper does, and unless it undergoes a complete rewrite, that problem will persis forever [05:24] jabagawee: any madwifi problems? [05:24] salmon, change your sources.list [05:24] gaintsura, not sure, lemme check [05:24] madwifi is my main priority [05:24] but first, lets ask ubottu [05:24] thanks jabagawee [05:24] salmon: go to System > Administration > Software Sources and untick the box with the cd rom listed [05:24] !madwifi [05:24] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:24] nope, to google!

[05:41] for example if I aim a aim client (i.e. bot on my ubuntu box), it eco (im me) back uptime results [05:41] is that possible [05:41] gopp: Its entirely possible, yes. But I don't think anything like that currently exists. [05:42] aflack is that not normal oblivion performance? [05:42] how can one find out info about the screen on a laptop? lshw only shows graphics controllers [05:43] kc8pxy_: any game under wine usually sucks, and having oblivion at that under wine while recoding is pretty damn good === Woody86 is now known as woody86 [05:43] Flannel so in theory it is possible, but nothing exist yet okay Flannel thanks [05:43] Flannel what query should I use to google something like this [05:43] is there a simple command that i can use to get the monitor and its specs?

[05:54] jeeves_Moss: locate foo [05:54] thanks [05:55] you don't have to call him a foo' just because he didn't know. ;) [05:55] find / -name filename [05:55] I need to install apache 2.2.10 for PCI compliance, is compiling from source my only option? [05:55] grep doesn't search for files, it searches inside files [05:55] locate is typically faster than find, especially if your db is up to date [05:55] lakitu: heh :) [05:56] evenin' folks [05:56] find / -depth -print | xargs grep " " [05:57] bimberi, so far, it's not finding it [05:57] and if I do compile apache 2.2.10, how do I make it as ubuntu-like as possible? [05:57] jeeves_Moss: you can update the database used by locate with 'sudo updatedb' [05:57] buddy just took the update to .24-21 and I need to recompile a driver for him.. when I do make && make install.. it's going into the old kernel headers... anywhere I can change that??? [05:57] (might take a while) [05:57] kastner: Unless you can find a deb somewhere, yes. Intrepid has 2.2.9 [05:57] if my kaspersky log is not in /var/log/kaspersky, anywhere else it may be? [05:58] lakitu: use locate! :) [05:58] Flannel: this PCI compliance thing is _insane_, I have to use 2.2.10 :( [05:58] bimberi, oh yeah =) [05:58] prob is, i don't know what it will be called [05:59] sometimes my asx streaming in rhythmbox says that it can't playback... when i reboot, it might work again. strange problem [05:59] ah, 'locate --psychic' then (if only) [06:00] hy [06:00] bimberi, well, i meant =) if i can find the directory, i can find the file [06:01] Whats the log file containing the dmes already? [06:01] in the middle of installing firefox i get this: "the swap file or partition that was found in uswsup's configuration file is not active" any idea? [06:01] bimberi, what is the wildcard symbol, in linux? [06:01] I mean the file that contains the information on[OK] and [FAAIL] [06:01] during boot [06:01] lakitu: * [06:02] bimberi, hm, didn't seem to work. maybe it was my query [06:02] lakitu: you don't use it with locate though, it implies a wildcard search [06:02] What file contains the information on services starting during boot (The[OK] and [FAIL]) [06:03] bimberi, kav*.log is what i want [06:03] I saw a [FAIL] and I'd like to see whats up with that [06:03] rupe_: or grep -R [06:03] lakitu: locate kav | grep log [06:04] Joker_-_: dmesg [06:04] /var/log/messages [06:04] bimberi, k [06:04] pajamian: dmesg semms only to be the... /var/log/messages maybe, Ill check that [06:04] seems to be just the same as dmesg [06:05] alloooowww [06:05] in the middle of installing firefox i get this: "the swap file or partition that was found in uswsup's configuration file is not active" any idea? [06:05] how do I do a more indepth scan of my system to find a file again? [06:06] so I installed ubuntu-server and I've got like 100 listings for "consolekit" in my top output. Is that normal? [06:06] jeeves_Moss: the find or locate commands can find files pretty well. [06:07] Zelut, I'm looking right @ the file, and locate and find says "no such file or directory" [06:07] whats the easiest way to add wallpaper to the G1 [06:07] jeeves_Moss: the thing about locate is that it updates the index daily, so if you've created the file within the last few hours it won't be in that index yet. [06:08] jeeves_Moss: you could run 'sudo updatedb', which will manually update the index and you should see it after that. [06:08] Zelut, this file has been there for a few months [06:08] How do I find what [FAIL]ed during boot ? (It goes so fast I couldnt see) [06:09] Zelut: that's not out of the realm of normal for that process. I wouldn't worry about it unless it's gobbling up a lot of resources. [06:09] it's apparently not dmesg nor /var/log/messages [06:09] Joker_-_: look at /var/log/dmesg - its boot time output. [06:09] Zelut: heh, already done this but I dont see it. [06:09] Good afternoon from Australia #Ubuntu [06:09] pajamian: its just hard to see anything else in top when thats taking up the whole page.. [06:10] Zelut: top | more [06:11] Zelut: hrmmmm, well I have heard complaints about consolekit before. From what I understand it is possible to disable it and shouldn't adversly affect the system. Google for it for more info. [06:11] pajamian: will do. [06:11] what does consolekit even do anyway? [06:11] I am on hardy. X resolution is borked. gnome crashes. I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it never asks me for resolution, it just sets up keyboard and mouse. any ideas? [06:11] Zelut: I forget, heh. [06:11] in the middle of installing firefox i get this: "the swap file or partition that was found in uswsup's configuration file is not active" any idea? [06:12] Zelut¬ shares your resources with the master kit. [06:12] lol no idea.. like to know myself.. [06:12] as far as i knew it was badly coded, a multithreaded program which doesnt have master container so to speak [06:13] I want the firestarter applet to start automatically, however when I follow the instructions at "http://www.fs-security.com/docs/faq.php#reboot" I cannot get sudoers to allow /etc/sbin/firestarter to start up without a password [06:13] hello... anybody using xubuntu beta? [06:13] ml¬ i bet a few ppl in #xubuntu are ;) [06:13] what would make firefox laggy. im only using 14% ram [06:13] lol thxs [06:13] ml, go to #ubuntu+1 if you want to discuss intrepid [06:14] thxs :) [06:14] Is it a know problem for compiz to stop ubuntu from waking in suspend mode? [06:14] hey command for distro upgrade is sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -d right? === dannyobrien is now known as malaclyps [06:15] waan¬ they were proclaimed to be fixed afaik... but ive had problems with it and have heard of others having some too, possibly fixable with a bit of looking into. [06:15] predator3631, update-manager -d, i think. [06:15] using gksu [06:15] waan, Its still a bit of a problem, I was hoping it was fixed in intrepid [06:15] t1n0m3n: paste your sudoers file to the pastebin. [06:16] thx [06:16] !pastebin [06:16] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:16] nnull: Vantrax: Hopefully that's the case, I might try going back to metacity, although i'll miss my dock [06:16] whats all this E: /var/cache/apt/archives/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.124.0ubuntu2_amd64.deb: conflicting packages - not installing flashplugin-nonfree [06:16] waan, AWN? [06:16] Vantrax: yeah [06:16] Vantrax¬ and im guessing your dreams were smashed? :s [06:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/61844/plain/ [06:17] only thing i really use in compiz is the cube, i larv it so [06:17] newb here needing a little help - i'm reinstalling 8.04 and have a separate /home partition - i'm in the partition manager and selecting manual choosing the system install and mount point as "/" and another partition's mount point as /home, choosing to format the / but not the /home partition (since I don't want to lose anything), problem is, the installer keeps asking to set up a new user. [06:17] and screen saver cube plugin [06:17] nnull: I just use avant and the workspace slider, cube is off [06:17] i was under the impression the installer would just see my home directory and carry on... [06:17] + wobbly windows and transparency of course [06:17] mortello: so setup a new user and delete it later [06:18] nnull: that too [06:18] i had some issues with transparency without compiz [06:18] is there a way to put desktop icon labels to the left or right of icons [06:18] especially with the dock i had at the time [06:18] boohbah, thanks, so it IS leaving that untouched? [06:18] hopefully its been fixed [06:18] nnull: is there a dock that functions the same as avn and doesn't require compiz [06:19] nnull: I've used simdock but it's just not the same [06:19] whats that one.. umm [06:19] cairo-dock [06:19] ok, i'll try this, thanks again [06:19] mortello just add a new with the same user name and it should work [06:19] worked for me [06:19] but again i had problems with transparency without compiz using that [06:19] nnull: Aslong as I can 'dock' programs in it [06:19] *user [06:19] ok thanks [06:20] nnull: I suppose I could always add a panel instead of awn [06:20] waan¬ cairo-dock is about as customizable as you'll find i would think.. [06:20] np lmk [06:20] nnull: thanks i'll give that a og [06:20] waan¬ yea after trying all the fancy stuff i just built myself some decent gnome-panels :) [06:21] i want to install ubuntu on my office PC but ubuntu upgrades too often.how do i keep up with the frequently released builds [06:21] waan¬ but if you find with cairo that transparency is simply black.. its the same problem i had.. which actually made me switch to compiz and ditch cairo heh.. [06:21] is there a way to put desktop icon labels to the left or right of icons [06:21] fresh install every time ubuntu has a new release? [06:21] nnull: hmm ok I might try an autohide panel and see how that goes [06:22] nnull: sleep is more important anyway [06:22] waan¬ you can edit some of the panel settings inside gconf-editor [06:22] nnull: yeah it's probably the best option [06:22] I accidentally removed all the groups that my "special" (first) account was part of..... now I cannot perform sudo operations correctly, anything I can do with this other than throw it out the window? [06:22] waan¬ but i recommend backing up your /.gconf dir before any editting [06:23] waan¬ as for me it can be rather tempramental* [06:23] anyone here know the command to format a flash drive [06:23] OK it seems like I can get the firestarter to start up automatically now. Now my issue is that is starts up too fast. Is there a way to let it pause for 30 or so seconds until the wioreless interface it up and running? [06:24] nnull: do you know the location for changing the autohide times> [06:24] Slack: mkfs [06:24] Is it possible to have one ubuntu wiki page forward to another? [06:24] geez, my typing sucks tonight [06:24] waan¬ [06:24] Slack: Or you could use gparted [06:24] nnull: I guess just apps/panel? [06:24] t1n0m3n: yes, create a shell script with your commands and put "sleep 30" on a line to pause for 30 seconds. [06:24] waan¬ /apps/panel/toplevel [06:24] I am on hardy. X resolution is borked. gnome crashes. I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it never asks me for resolution, it just sets up keyboard and mouse. any ideas? [06:24] is there a specific channel for questions about dns and dhcp? [06:25] nnull: thanks [06:25] pajamian: sweet, I will try, thanks [06:25] waan¬ id recommend hide_delay and unhide_delay both at "50" [06:25] paul68: just ask your question. [06:25] waan¬ and autohide_szie 1 [06:25] waan¬ some safe options just if you need them [06:26] i want to install ubuntu on my office PC but ubuntu upgrades too often.how do i keep up with the frequently released builds, fresh installation everytime it's released? [06:26] I accidentally removed all the groups that my "special" (first) account was part of..... now I cannot perform sudo operations correctly, anything I can do with this other than throw it out the window? [06:26] lakesou: Just upgrade [06:26] nnull: hmm even if I use unhide_delay 01, it takes a while [06:26] lakesou: you can just use the long term releases and only upgrade every 3 years or so. [06:26] !perl [06:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about perl [06:26] pajamian I work with bind and want to add the auto update between dns and dhcp on my server but don't know in wich files [06:26] I accidentally removed all the groups that my "special" (first) account was part of..... now I cannot perform sudo operations correctly, anything I can do with this other than throw it out the window? [06:27] what's a long-term release? [06:27] waan¬ hmm dunno 50 is like very fast compared to the default for me anyway [06:27] pajamian: also where do I add the acl lists ? [06:27] szx0, add yourself to the admin group then re-login [06:27] paul68: ok, sorry, I don't know the answer to that one. [06:27] szx0: You can fix it from single user mode ( the recovery mode option at boot ) [06:27] waan¬ make sure enable animations is yes [06:27] pajamian: no problem [06:27] How can I run a perl script? [06:27] nnull: ahh its ok I set animation to fast, now it works great [06:28] Kattman: ummmm, type in the scriptname ont he command line? [06:28] waan¬ cool [06:28] just messing around with ibex, does anyone else think it's 100% more stable than hardy was? [06:28] export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.15 [06:28] pajamian how long is a long term release? [06:28] Thanks [06:28] !ibex [06:28] Kattman: Make it executable then give the path to it at a terminal [06:28] node357, Thank you kind sir.... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/user-setup/+bug/158952 [06:28] 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 [06:28] Jordan_U, Thank you too kind sir.... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/user-setup/+bug/158952 [06:28] nnull: that 1 pixel line still bugs me :P [06:28] I put that in .bashrc, will that be executed everytime I run the shell? [06:28] nnull: nothing you can do I guess [06:29] waan¬ lol yea i ended up changing my monitor settings slightly to remove them ;) === RetrogradeCultur is now known as Retrog-afk [06:29] 100 or so vert pixels out, still like 614533 billion left or something heh [06:30] lakesou: every couple years, I think. [06:30] writing: Yes, though you probably want to use update-alternatives to set the java version to be used instead [06:31] lakesou: the current LTR is 8.04 released in April of this year. The previous one was 6.06 released in June of 2006 [06:31] nnull: it would be pretty awesome if you could set it to hide only when you have a fullscreen app running, like awn [06:31] pajamian: You the man. The shell script to start firestarter (with the sleep 30) was just the ticket. Now the firestarter script starts up and waits 30 seconds for the wlan0 interface to come online, then it starts firestarter. [06:31] t1n0m3n: :-) [06:32] waan¬ ive never used awn but i do recall an option for that somewhere, possibly in compiz.. [06:32] nnull: yeah but i'm adding the panel so I can remove compiz [06:32] waan¬ definitally in cairo-dock === dxh is now known as huertanix [06:33] waan¬ but cairo-dock feels like something you buy at the $2 shop as shareware, works great very customizable just the interface is dunno old sharelookish heh [06:33] I have learned to stay away from Compiz now. Every time I have installed it, it caused more problems than anything else. [06:33] waan¬ but the dock itself works a charm, bar the transparency without compiz [06:33] OK, I am outta here, pajamian, thanks for your inspiration [06:33] which you may not have a issue with [06:34] nnull: i'll give this panels a go, if it gets in the way i'll just go back to the old "window list" on the top panel === crd1b is now known as crdlb [06:36] is there anyone here? [06:37] nnull: you wouldn't happen to know how to disable window snapping for metacity? [06:37] im here sorta [06:37] hello [06:38] hehe [06:38] hello [06:38] live, No, sorry, we're all drinking coffee. :( [06:38] !hi | live [06:38] live: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [06:38] thx....cheers! [06:38] lol you could have just said hi [06:38] is there a list of leptops working well supported with ubuntu? [06:38] what it mean? [06:39] hi [06:39] tree3: http://www.linux-laptop.net/ [06:39] !hardware | tree3 [06:40] tree3: 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 [06:40] what's everyone think of *.10? [06:40] 8.10 lol [06:40] ... [06:40] unohu62: ask in #ubuntu+1 [06:40] !ibex [06:40] 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 [06:41] but how do I know -which to order? [06:41] waan¬ nar no idea soxz [06:41] unohu62: you can ask in -offtopic to - I love it [06:41] okay, sorry...new to IRC Just trying to get my bearings [06:41] tree3 - you'll have to do some research and make an educated buy! [06:41] tree3: if you want a laptop to run Linux on then I would look for one that doesn't come with the Microsoft tax. That narrows down the choices considerably. [06:42] why not just wipe the hd? [06:42] pajamian: what you mean by tax [06:42] ? [06:42] how much is the tax really? 20 bucks? [06:42] tree3: I mean why pay for Microsoft Windows when you don't intend to use it? [06:42] pajamian: microsoft tax? [06:42] DR_K13: b/c the ones that don't carry that tax don't usually have hardware that is designed to work w/ linux and nothing else [06:42] pajamian: yes I am looking for a clean laptop [06:43] kc8pxy_: pay for a MS license when you buy it [06:43] I gotcha! [06:43] but need to know which once are working nice with ubuntu [06:43] nnull: I think I can deal with this, the icons are alot smaller though, just have to get used to that I guess [06:43] Dell, comes pre configured with Ubuntu [06:43] tree3: if I'm not mistaken DELL is selling laptops with ubuntu installed [06:43] tree3: Dell sells laptops with ubuntu pre-installed. [06:44] ...as others are pointing out. [06:44] pajamian: lol [06:44] the smaller netbooks like Msi and Aus EEE and Acer One come with a linux option [06:44] I talked my mom into buying one a couple years ago and all things considered it is working well for her. [06:44] but lower spec machines [06:45] will look [06:45] MTecknology: that doesn't happen at your generic computer store,where you get one w/o the tax, does it?(wallmart, bestbuy,circuitcity) [06:45] im trying to use startx to run my wm but it says error in locking authority file /home/johnny/.Xauthority [06:45] kc8pxy_: if it has windows on it, you paid for it [06:45] how do i fix it? [06:45] do i need to change the permissions? [06:45] kc8pxy_: it is very difficult to find a retailer that will sell you a laptop without windows on it. [06:46] kc8pxy_: if it doesn't have windows on it - your chances of native suppose are significantly higher [06:46] do you already have gdm running Jakob_the_liar [06:46] yes oobe but i dont want to use it [06:46] i want to use startx for my window manager [06:46] if you do you need to stop it or run startx with this option startx -- :1 [06:47] i mean i killed gdm to use startx [06:47] normally i just use startx and it runs [06:47] but now im getting this error [06:47] you can stop gdm by typing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [06:47] i did === xtyn_ is now known as Thylacine [06:47] do it from tty1 [06:48] Jakob_the_liar: you can try renaming that file that it mentions. [06:48] and when i was running my window manager i kept getting the error for things like synaptic and update manager [06:48] its my .Xauthority file pajamian [06:48] wont that screw things up === Thylacine is now known as Xtyn [06:48] i think pajamian may be right [06:48] that could work [06:48] alright i'll try it [06:49] bbiab [06:49] just mv it to another name [06:49] Jakob_the_liar: unless you have stuff customized in it then it should just re-create it, but I would rename it rather than delete just to be safem you can always rename it back if it causes problems. [06:49] but keep it [06:49] incase [06:49] k [06:49] then x will make a new one [06:49] brb [06:49] if i have an updated beta, i'm practically using the RC right now, right? [06:50] Xtyn: yes... [06:50] lol at me repeating pajamian [06:50] thx [06:50] :) [06:50] :-) === SunWuKung|away is now known as SunWuKung|away|a [06:50] how do i add a user without admin privs? [06:50] Mr_Fixit: sudo adduser foo [06:50] Mr_Fixit: just add the user as a desktop user... [06:50] what about passwords? [06:51] question:if iam downloadin g using fire fox and the active takes up all the download bandwidth preventing me from fetching another page from the browser or even sending a ping to remote site. when i pause the download i can resume usage of firefox. what can be the cause of this ? [06:51] Mr_Fixit: after adding the user do: sudo passwd foo [06:52] alexi5: you seem to be answering your own question. [06:52] Mr_Fixit: system.. administration... users and groups... unlock the interface... add a user... set the password... and make sure you're adding it as a desktop user. [06:52] didnt work oobe [06:53] startx -- :1 did but my wm didnt load and i still got the error [06:53] do you know of anything that has changed on your system [06:53] do you usually not use gdm [06:53] alexi5: when downloading, Firefox download manager will self-regulate itself, on matter of importance. [06:53] and just type startx [06:53] yea [06:53] i just did a fresh install [06:53] many times, the download manager will take priority. [06:54] and now gdm is starting [06:54] reinstalled everything [06:54] I run gnome but use kde apps such as k3b. Is there a way to get the kde apps to look like the gnome ones? [06:54] I don't think there is a fix for it.. [06:54] but my home directory is on another partition so all my settings should be the same [06:54] ubuntu... sense of accomplishment... I dont get that with Windows anymore. Today I setup grub to dual boot Vista and Ubuntu. Troubleshot VPN issues using vpnc and network manager (got it working). Got the 2870 ralink wireless NIC working with WPA2 PSK and aes. Got firestarter to start automatically with a 30 second pause to allow the wireless interface to come up... It has been a very good day to hack on ubuntu. [06:54] also im having problems with my wireless thats been happening for a couple days [06:54] i was connected then it just suddenly stopped [06:54] pajamian: when i use firefox in windows (Vista and XP) my downloads take up the maximum bandwidth but when i do any sort of activity using the net such fetching another page or download from another application the download speed of the firefox download usually decreases and other activities are able to use the net [06:54] try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm Jakob_the_liar [06:55] now when i try to connect the icon just keeps spinning [06:55] now if adobe would produce a 64 bit flash, I would be all set [06:55] and if i do it manually i dont get any packets [06:55] alexi5: what would you want it to do? [06:55] it was working fine i hadnt updated or installed anything and it just suddenly quit [06:55] one thing at a time [06:55] t1n0m3n, you can hack 32bit flash to work on 64bit linux [06:55] which is the most important to you [06:55] wireless [06:56] ok what network manager do you use [06:56] pajamian:i just want to know what should it do [06:56] i use /etc/network/interfaces [06:56] alexi5, that is partially because in windows regulates connection and resource management. [06:56] networkmanager [06:56] i tried that too [06:56] telexicon: 32 bit flash + ubuntu 64 + hulu.com + full screen = slideshow [06:56] i have heard good things about wicd [06:56] iface eth2 inet dhcp etc etc [06:56] t1n0m3n, yeah! [06:56] tried wicd [06:56] t1n0m3n, lol yeah right [06:56] but myseld and many other people have trouble with NetworkManager [06:56] t1n0m3n, i dont think i could ever get that working without flash crashing [06:56] t1n0m3n, even on 32bit [06:56] anyone know a good place to bulk check domain names, i used moniker before but they now require you to register and godaddy doesnt work right [06:57] yea i've been reading lots of bug reports [06:57] none have been any help though [06:57] if wicd doesnt work [06:57] i tried wicd [06:57] gonein: generic whois lookup. [06:57] try manually configuring your wireless with /etc/network/interfaces [06:57] its like my wireless just geeps trying to connect [06:57] telexicon: it works fine for me, its just really slow. I am hoping that a 64 bit version will be faster [06:57] t1n0m3n, oh [06:57] gonein: I wouldn't trust any website to check my domain names for me. [06:57] also i can pm you some simple scripts i use to connect my wireless [06:57] t1n0m3n, no thats flash sucking at 2d rendering [06:57] i have a error log i made of all the relevant stuff i'll pastebin it [06:57] sure oobe [06:57] anything is appreciated [06:57] wait one sec [06:57] im desperate === RemoteVi1wer is now known as RemoteViewer === bkm is now known as S3cReT^b0Y [06:58] i need a shortcut key to minimize all the running apps on my desktop somthing i can bind to the the middle mouse button [06:58] im going crazy with all this stuff allover my desktop [06:58] http://pastebin.com/m1678d94d oobe [06:58] telexicon: I wouldnt doubt that. Adobe's code seems a bit kludge even in windows. [06:59] grendal_prime: I just click the little box icon on the panel. [06:59] t1n0m3n, they keep whining about not making a 64bit version [06:59] t1n0m3n, claiming its too hard to make new JITs [06:59] i call BS [06:59] my wireless picks up signals it just doesnt connect [06:59] telexicon: lol, wimps [06:59] first of all [06:59] they could make an interpreter fallback [06:59] Jakob_the_liar, do you use wep or wpa [06:59] if that had to [06:59] just to get things working [06:59] i've tried linksys wireless g card two ipw2200 internals and an atheros g [06:59] nothing oobe [07:00] hey everyone i need to move all and subdirectories in the folder /stuff to the root folder above it / how would i do this on the command line [07:00] t1n0m3n, but for example, the LLVM project [07:00] no key [07:00] all files* [07:00] and subdirectories [07:00] t1n0m3n, the LLVM project has JITs for x86, x86_64, powerpc and powerpc-64 [07:00] ok then thats simpler but heh well im not going to say anything [07:00] pajamian: i need something faster than that...actually i was trying to get the active border thing in kde working so i could just move my cursor over to the right border and it would go to the next screen...but that seems only to work on the top and bottom borders [07:00] Bandit: your moving folders to / [07:00] ? [07:00] yes [07:00] everything in stuff [07:00] Bandit: why? [07:00] i want to put in / [07:00] it's on a server [07:00] Bandit: thats not a good idea [07:00] Bandit: sudo mv /stuff/* / [07:01] iwconfig wlan2 mode Managed [07:01] iwconfig wlan2 key your wep key [07:01] iwconfig wlan2 ap 00:1A:70:DB:10:B7 [07:01] iwconfig wlan2 essid "linksys" [07:01] iwconfig wlan2 commit [07:01] oobe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:01] ifconfig wlan2 192.168.1.10 up [07:01] thanks [07:01] Bandit: you shouldn't use / for storage and that command he gave you won't move directories [07:01] histo [07:01] ok heres the real thing [07:01] hello Floodbot that was a pm [07:01] on a server [07:01] !enter [07:01] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:01] i have /home/myuser/public_html/stuff [07:01] i want everything in /stuff [07:01] to be in public_html/ [07:02] um [07:02] would you know how to do this histo [07:02] moved or copied Bandit ? [07:02] moved [07:03] mv /home/myuser/public_html/stuff/* /home/myuser/public_html [07:03] Bandit: mv public_html/stuff/* public_html/ [07:03] hopefully you don't have a directory within stuff called stuff, else you will get an error in moving that directory, i.e. /home/myuser/public_html/stuff/stuff, if that dir exists, it won't work [07:04] shit [07:04] yeah i have subdirectories [07:04] Bandit: mv -dR /home/myuser/public_html/stuff/* /public_html [07:04] Bandit: subdirectoreis are fine as long as you don't have one named stuff. [07:04] subdirectories are fine, you just can't have /home/my/user/public_html/stuff/stuff [07:04] oh ok [07:04] Bandit: actually scratch that I don't believe mv will do recursive [07:05] 'stuff' has to be one level down [07:05] Bandit: so you may have to cp [07:05] mv is recursive [07:05] ah [07:05] bruenig: without the -R [07:05] ? [07:05] yes without the R [07:05] Hi I cannot get windows xp to boot, it just kicks back to the grub menu. Help [07:05] thanks guys [07:05] histo: mv doesn't have to do recursive. [07:05] lol, installing hellgate: london for giggles... just to see what happens [07:05] t1n0m3n, under wine? [07:05] Bandit: yeah so just mv /home/mysuser/public_html/stuff/* /public_html [07:05] telexicon: yeah [07:06] t1n0m3n, hows it going? [07:06] Bandit: the only thing that mv command won't move is hidden files in stuff (files startign with a .) if you really need to move those too then there are ways. [07:06] ola [07:06] well not /public_html as I doubt the directory exists and probably doesn't have user permissions [07:06] telexicon: seems ok so far, the installer works and is writing to the disk [07:06] has any one ever installed MSFS to Ubuntu? [07:06] bruenig: thats what he gave as his example [07:06] ok cool thanks bruenig pajamian and histo [07:06] it will move those things so long as they are more than one level down [07:07] Thats why I would just use a cp [07:07] cp -r /works/perfectly/* /destination [07:07] histo: mv is for all intensive purposes recursive. If you mv a directory everything under it gets moved too. [07:08] d [07:08] histo: mv works in exactly the same way [07:08] man this new seamless stuff in vbox is cool. [07:08] histo: cp doesn't work on dot files there either [07:08] pajamain even hidden files? [07:08] histo: and your cp -r command would suffer the same problem with hidden files as mv [07:08] histo: the reason the dot files don't work is because of bash globbing, not because of mv and cp [07:09] unless you are proposing the cp is happening in a shell other than bash with different globbing rules... [07:09] but at that point, the mv would work too, so, indeed strange advice nonetheless [07:10] histo: Bandit: bruenig: if you need to mv hidden files as well then what tends to work is this: mv public_html/stuff/{*,.??*} public_html/ [07:10] excellent! thanks so much [07:10] how do I play VideoCD? [07:11] pajamian: or you could change the bash globbing rules for a second and just run the same command [07:11] axisys : do you mean DVD? [07:11] bruenig: how would you do that? [07:12] tuxtrek: no.. videocd.. they have them all over in asia [07:12] ok unsure for a VideoCD have you googled? [07:13] axisys: totem, mplayer, xine, and VLC are all capable players for videocd [07:13] axisys: tuxtrek: videoCDs should play the same as a DVD, I recommend VLC [07:13] pajamian: shopt -s dotglob [07:14] ahh ok [07:14] is there a differnce between 64 bit and 32 for a normal user?

[07:37] no [07:37] dynamic [07:37] morning [07:37] Guest84675: just launch the update manger and there is a button you click on to upgrade to the next version, and yes you will have to go to 7.10 first. [07:37] brad__: then it will work now, but when the router redistributes ips through dhcp, you are back to 0 [07:38] I have too much of a problem with static IP's with so much stuff coming and going [07:38] until my desktop got put in storage, it didn't change in 6 months === khisanth_ is now known as Khisanth [07:38] pajamian: when i go there says 7.04 unsupported [07:38] jim_p, I don't really care if it dies, I Just need some files off.

How could I run the installer? O_O [07:39] >_> [07:39] <_< [07:39] lol [07:39] brad__: give me some time to make an fstab entry [07:40] you'll have to update /etc/apt/sources.lst or something, to point to archive.ubuntu.com if you are using lery old ubuntu [07:40] Guest84675: ok, if that doesn't work then you can try downloading the 7.10 alternate CD .iso and mounting it via loopback and then you should be able to run the upgrader from that. It won't require burning a CD to do it that way. [07:41] jim_p: do you know something about advanced dns en dhcp configuration? [07:41] brad__: name of the shared folder?

[08:01] yep [08:02] sweet I need some help I am not so good at the Linux command line and the ways of doing things in ubuntu [08:02] ask away [08:03] okay, I am logged into a web server via ssh, and I want to be able to ftp into that same server with firefox, and I need to do something with my ssh key....really lost here [08:03] sorry not with firefox, I mean with filezilla [08:04] Zorbinski, can you be more specific about the ssh key and what you need to do? Error messages? [08:05] Zorbinski, I'm assuming you either need to create or re-generate them [08:05] Is there any media player that support library search for songs and videos ? [08:05] okay, I generated the keys and gave one right one to admin of the web server, and I don't really know what I am suppose to do with my key now [08:05] Setting up mysql-server-5.0 (5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1) ... [08:05] invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/mysql not found. [08:06] how to reinstall script in /etc/init.d ? [08:06] I really new at this, I got the ubuntu media stuff down now I am trying to tackle the server stuff [08:06] Zorbinski, not really my area sorry. Hopefully someone can help [08:06] What keys? [08:07] ssh^ [08:07] Zorbinski: you need to install ftp server. [08:07] histo¬ err openssh-server comes with a sftp afaik.. [08:07] okay [08:07] can't a user log in without the key? doens't it just prompt them that the key is new. [08:08] is there a way to check status of mounts? ive unplugged y thumb drive a few times but when i do it doesnt go away in nautilus [08:08] i dunno I am in thorugh the command line but I want to get in with filezilla [08:09] DigitalFiz, type mount at a terminal [08:09] im suprised unplugging an extrenal device without unmounting it is still an issue [08:09] Zorbinski: you need to install ftp server then you could hit the server via filezilla etc... There is sftp as well which is over ssh. [08:10] how do you install a particular package without the dependencies? [08:10] and how do you remove one without removing its dependencies [08:11] okay what is a good ftp server to install, any names? [08:11] DigitalFiz, really should unmount before pulling stuff out. Not doing so is like taking out your hard drive while the PC is still running [08:11] Jakob_the_liar: with the -f switch in apt-get [08:11] Jakob_the_liar: you can't install the package with out its depends. [08:11] Zorbinski: there are many and there is usually no best, however I use vsftp [08:11] i need libconfuse 2.6 [08:11] !best > Zorbinski [08:11] Jakob_the_liar: you can download the .deb [08:11] Zorbinski, please see my private message [08:12] i know i just wanted to know how to do it command line [08:12] Jakob_the_liar: downlado the deb? [08:12] DistroJockey, not really thats what usb is for ive always found it odd linux has issues with it, its really trivial. the only time it should be an issue would be if somethings being written/read from the usb device [08:12] no [08:12] Jakob_the_liar: -d switch i believe. sudo aptitude -d packagename [08:13] DistroJockey, and if you decide to unplug it while somethings going on its your own fault there should be an auto unmount when the device is unplugged just like its auto mounted when its plugged in [08:13] JokerAway: scratch that sudo aptitude download packagename [08:14] Jakob_the_liar: ^^^^^^^^^^^^ [08:14] Jakob_the_liar: scratch that sudo aptitude download packagename [08:14] Jakob_the_liar: That will put the deb file in the current directoyr. [08:14] Hey all! [08:14] :| [08:15] its saying i need libconfuse 2.6 [08:15] RanyAlbeg: Hi, do you have question? [08:15] but thats for intrepid [08:15] DigitalFiz, OS's usually cache stuff to be written to USB flash in particular and also USB HDD's to limit wear and tear. So not always is everything written straight away [08:15] im on gutsy [08:15] so if I install vsftpd that will help me get into the web server?? [08:15] what that dealio [08:15] i never needed 2.6 before [08:15] what gives [08:16] Zorbinski: that is a ftp server, what exactly are you trying to do? [08:16] hardy wasnt even out last time i installed this window manager [08:16] I need a replacement for 'glipper' is there any other clipboard which will provide me same features? [08:16] I copied my ubuntu system to another added hard drive, how would i add now that system to grub ? [08:16] DistroJockey, well regaurdless there should be a fall back to force an unmount when its unplugged just to keep things cleaned up. [08:16] RanyAlbeg: you can try parcelite [08:16] If I install nvidia drivers via hardware drivers (jockey), are these drivers are called 'binary drivers'? [08:16] I am trying to sftp into a web server using filezilla [08:16] Zorbinski: right, and your problem is? [08:16] DigitalFiz, if you unplug it the OS won't know till after and can't fix it [08:17] Zorbinski, sftp will only work if the server allows ssh [08:17] I have no clue what to do with the key that I have, do I need to do something in the command line? [08:17] Zorbinski: you don't need the key right now. [08:17] DistroJockey, a simple monitor probably the same one that makes it mount the drive when its plugged in will probably work just as well for when its unplugged [08:17] DigitalFiz, I know of no psychic OS's [08:17] it does I am in via ssh right now [08:18] hi [08:18] okay so how do I upload to the server then? [08:18] if i creat a new user they automatically have SSH access right? [08:19] DistroJockey, i do know that when i unplug a usb drive in osx which is *nix it gets auto unmounted same as when its plugged in this is why im confused the same techniques haven't been implemented in linux [08:19] same in windows [08:19] ? [08:20] 说话 [08:20] DigitalFiz, might get unmounted, but definitely not cleaning (all the time) [08:20] cleanly^ [08:20] eh if its unplugged anyways does it matter what the os does afterwards? [08:20] hello [08:21] hello [08:21] hello all [08:21] hi bhooz [08:21] hiya [08:21] hey +1 seems dead does wine not work in intrepid well yet? [08:21] Mr_Fixit: yes [08:22] any body know about openmosix? [08:22] predator363: just wait in +1 [08:22] DistroJockey, my only problem is how its handled when the dirty deed is done, after the drive is unplugged the os should do some clean up work with the dead mount, i know it cant do anything about the dirty drive but at least clean up the mess after [08:23] DigitalFiz, ahh, ok, I see your point now and agree. [08:23] sry [08:23] ziroday, a red one? [08:23] RanyAlbeg: it worked :) [08:23] ？ [08:23] dd === Lokian_ is now known as Lokian [08:23] RanyAlbeg: also see http://www.getdeb.net/app/Parcellite to get easy to install packages for parcel lite [08:23] what ftp server would you reccomend (for occasional xfers with friends) [08:23] bhooz: do you have a question? [08:24] !best > JackWinter [08:24] JackWinter, please see my private message [08:24] im having a little trouble installing flash on Ubuntu 8.04.1, when i go to YouTube it says that Flash or java is turned is please install by clicking on this link. I click on it then it takes me to the adobe website, i download the deb version of flash player plugin then install it, i close off firefox then re open it and it still says it not installed. Could someone help me please? [08:24] JackWinter: and I use vsftpd :) [08:24] how to play aspx radio in ubuntu?? [08:24] ziroday, if i want to apt-get it from terminal ? [08:24] DigitalFiz, just pulled a usb flash out of my system without unmounting and it removed it from the desktop [08:24] DistroJockey, i thing the main problem with it right now is the common response is "you should unmount your drives" and thats how its handled maybe ill look into making a fix myself :P probably just gonna be a simple script [08:24] ziroday, how do i search for the name of the package? [08:24] RanyAlbeg: you can't as there is currently no packages in the repo yet [08:24] DistroJockey, it does it sometimes but not always thats whats weird [08:25] ziroday, i see [08:25] RanyAlbeg: you have to use the packages from http://www.getdeb.net/app/Parcellite [08:25] bsusa: sure, open up a terminal and type in sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [08:25] ziroday, and then use ' make install' or something? [08:25] sdfsfesf [08:25] dfsadfw [08:25] Is it ok to ask question about procmail and postfix here? [08:25] DigitalFiz, I'm am running a partially patched version of 8.10 beta atm though. [08:26] RanyAlbeg: no just download the file and double click on it [08:26] ah ok [08:26] maybe they are working on fixing it [08:26] maybe [08:26] user_: not really, its better suited for #postfix [08:26] ziroday, ok i'll try that , thanks [08:26] ziroday: it's not so much that i want the best :), but since it's not really a fulltime server i'm considering something in userspace. i'll have a look at vsftpd in any case. just hoped that some people had been through the sorting process and could saave me some time :) [08:26] ziroday: thank you i'll ask there [08:26] JackWinter: I understand completely where you are coming from :) [08:27] Hi. [08:27] Hi. [08:27] DistroJockey, i cant wait for the stable release of 8.10 [08:28] how can i connect virtualbox with ubuntu, i mean, one folder [08:28] DigitalFiz, me niether (only 6 days to go) so I got 8.10-RC today :) [08:28] Does anyone know about a complete, stable, polished, minimalistic dark gtk 2.x theme? Better if it uses just grey and black and white. [08:29] nice [08:29] I always grab the RC the week before the stable release---really cuts down on upgrade time. First few days after the release are a nightmare in terms of download rates. [08:29] qstnn: you can try the one in intrepid [08:30] ziroday: It is called dust I think. I already have it. Don't like it. [08:30] ziroday, it works i appreciate your help. [08:30] swuboo: Or you could patiently wait and cut on the fanboyism. [08:30] qstnn: no there is a different one besides dust, called dark room. Lemme get the link for you [08:30] RanyAlbeg: no problem, have fun! [08:30] Hi; i know that ubuntu 8.l10 isn't support but i'd though i'd ask,. i am running a fresh install of ubuntu 8.1064bit.. for some reason my mouse keeps on going skitz in the middle of the screens (dual screen) any ideas? [08:30] qstnn, ziroday : DarkRoom or new human are intrepid related I believe [08:30] is there any way of getting higher terminal text mode resolutions? [08:30] andrboot: ask in #ubuntu+1 [08:31] hey [08:31] i mean much higher [08:31] DistroJockey: you can get them from kwwii ppa [08:31] ziroday: It is got to be on gnome-look, right? [08:31] smaller font than size 8 [08:31] kk [08:31] qstnn: no, its an ubuntu package [08:31] Hi! How do I hide join/part messages in Pidgin on Ubuntu? [08:31] qstnn: you need to add this ppa https://launchpad.net/~kwwii/+archive [08:31] rww, #pidgin [08:32] wait, nvm, i figured it out... wasn't looking in the right place :( [08:33] ziroday: Which package? community themes? [08:34] whats up? [08:34] qstnn: I could patiently wait, but this is A: my only computer and B: losing it for a day to upgrade when it's not necessary is a bad idea. [08:35] swuboo: All I am saying is you will have to spend time anyday to upgrade, how about waiting for somedays after a couple of people have gone through the tears. [08:36] qstnn: I've already done it, actually. I find it to be somewhat more stable. The logout applet doesn't crash X, and flash is actually borderline reliable. [08:37] qstnn: human-theme iirc [08:38] ziroday: thank you. [08:39] swuboo: It is just that everytime I get excited about ubuntu I end up in tears. So I have become a bit cynical. [08:39] halberd: If you go to Profile Preferences in the Gnome terminal; you can reduce the font size as far as 6 point. [08:39] ziroday: thanks, just one other thing now, whenever i playback streams on youtube then press fullscreen it closes to normal screen straight away. Any ideas please? [08:40] bsusa: no idea sorry, just try not to press and buttons [08:40] swuboo: ah not gnome, the tty [08:40] qstnn: I quite sympathize. This is the first painless upgrade I've had in years. [08:40] I tried font size 8 but it looked terrible, it was squashed vertically but not horizontally [08:40] could compiz affect it [08:41] halberd: Do you mean the tty without X running, or just a regular terminal window? [08:41] without X [08:42] anyone have any recommendations for a decent graphics card that supports 3d acceleration in ubuntu? [08:42] halberd: Ah, then I'm honestly not sure. [08:42] bsusa: doubt it, you can always try without [08:42] rww, nvidia with restricted drivers :) [08:42] <[mbm]> rww: not ati [08:43] does anyone know the name of the iconset on the screenshot on this post? http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5691339&postcount=3420 [08:43] rww: the latest ati cards are meant to have great support [08:43] [mbm]: yeah, I have a Radeon HD 3450 right now, and it's not doing the 3d thing at all :( [08:43] <[mbm]> ziroday: lies. the fglrx driver is buggy as hell [08:43] rww: i have an 3850, can i help? [08:44] hi guys [08:44] can i summon somebody to help me with a nfs share problem...server is ubuntu....client is debian [08:44] i moved from wubi to real partaions [08:44] jim_p: it looks like the normal iconset with a couple of customized ones [08:44] and i need to set the boot [08:44] [mbm]: he did say "meant to" [08:44] and fstab [08:45] <[mbm]> rww: nvidia is probably the way to go; proprietary driver installs without hassle and everything just works [08:45] ziroday: well the computer and the drive icons are awesome [08:45] I did an apt-cdrom add but it said it failed to mount the cdrom...however I already have the cdrom mounted. I am running in vmware btw [08:45] procrastination: can you be more specific [08:46] extor: try to run apt-cdrom with the cdrom unmounted [08:46] [mbm]: see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_evolution&num=1 [08:46] how to open flash player properties so i can allow some site to be blocked in flash loading? [08:46] jim_p: which driver are you using? You have an rv670 chipset and I have an rv620, but maybe the configuration's similar. [08:46] certainly jm p: when i try to mount the nfs share on the debian client computer i get failed reason given by server...permission denied [08:46] rww: are you using hardy? [08:46] rww: fglrx from the repos [08:46] ~()}:0= [08:46] halberd: A little googling suggests adding a "vga=" line to grub; you'd need to find out the correct number to set vga to equal for the resolution you want. If you haven't tried this, yes. [08:46] any help [08:47] jim_p: any recommendations on xorg.conf? or should I just leave it at the default? [08:47] bahaa2008: post the current fdisk -l and fstab somewhere [08:47] <[mbm]> ziroday: that's BS. I have a radeon hd card - the drivers are crap.

Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [08:48] rww: fglrx is known to have problems with xorg v1.5 that ibex has :( this is the reason i wont upgrade to it [08:49] jim_p: ah, i see... [08:49] rww: you should be asking intrepid questions in #ubuntu+1 as iirc there are still some ati problems [08:49] <[mbm]> jim_p: they've got it now so it loads, but it's still as buggy as ever [08:49] [mbm] so its up to no use, i wont upgrade [08:50] i am unable to uninstall any addon in my firefox.. the uninstall buttons are inactive [08:50] <[mbm]> the opensource radeonhd driver is coming along nicely but they haven't merged the hdmi audio support yet so it's a pain to manually patch support in [08:51] Hey there! [08:51] Quick question for the wise [08:51] Billy: hello [08:51] Does anybody know if xchat can be ran in terminal?

[09:23] [mbm]: nothing, I'm a big fan of cli, but don't use it for mail personally (too much damn html) [09:23] <[mbm]> pogztimz: w3m [09:24] or lynx/links [09:24] pogztimz» or with lynx [09:24] your preference [09:24] pogi_daw2, or, run firefox by X-window [09:24] pogztimz, or, run firefox by X-window [09:24] [mbm]: can i sudo apt-get install w3m? [09:24] <[mbm]> Frogzoo_: that just makes it easier - if it's html it goes in the spam filter [09:25] pogztimz: sure, if it's in the repositories (should be) [09:25] hi all, i want to load up podcasts on my iphone with linux, i installed ipod-convenience, but it's not working, [09:25] check Synaptic, if that's easier [09:25] jaem: ic.. ty [09:25] TarBar try holding down C key at boot [09:25] hateball and [mbm]: ty also [09:25] anyone know how to use iphone with linux? the 3G . [09:25] [mbm]: :) [09:25] iphone with linux? ???? [09:25] why not, sounds fun [09:25] wouldn't that make the Universe explode, or something? :P [09:26] do iphones have bluetooth? [09:26] lol [09:26] <[mbm]> LV: yes [09:26] I try aHua, jaem: I know, I use da iPhone so i must hate freedom! [09:27] NET||abuse: I didn't mean that - I was just kidding around [09:27] LV: ugh,, iphone bluetooth is some kind of cruel joke. [09:27] anyone here familiar with ebox platform? [09:27] * jaem has tried iPhone bluetooth, and it fails [09:27] jaem: hehe, i was being self deprecating.. :) I hate apple in it's various anti freedom attitudes.. but theiphohe is nice. [09:27] ml, i hold down c but all i get is a grey screen [09:27] hi how are u all [09:27] well I have treo650 bluetooth ... that sucks mightily as well [09:27] it's purty... and has nice GUI... [09:28] I have N810 BT, and it wins [09:28] jim_p: with a little help from your xorg.conf, I got my ati card working! thanks :D [09:28] LV: jaem: the bluetooth on iphone is intentionally crippled. [09:28] good q ahead: is there any itunes alternative for ubuntu? [09:28] plenty [09:28] NET||abuse, the only reason i can see that ipod-convenience wouldnt be working is your iphone has to be jail broken and an sshd must be running on it [09:28] to sync music with ipod [09:28] if you like iTunes, you could try Songbird, but it's still in Beta [09:29] oh... Songbird doesn't synce with some recent ones, last I checked [09:29] but if you just want to sync, I think Amarok and Rythmbox have decent support [09:29] * jaem hasn't tried [09:29] TarBar :( [09:29] jaem: i ll try amarok then =) [09:29] hmm [09:29] DigitalFiz: oh bugger and didley, [09:29] they both require a jail broken ipod/ipone [09:29] i will try check the md5 sums or whatever then re burn the thing [09:29] jaem: thx =) [09:29] it was writing at 25* lol === writing is now known as g15 [09:30] try a slower speed [09:30] fedaykin: give Songbird a look, too, though - once it's out of beta, it'll be nice. sort of an iTunes-ish browser/player mashup [09:30] it's Mozilla-based [09:30] and check the md5 [09:30] Peeps - does the latest Dansguardian have built-in Clamav? [09:30] yeah === g15 is now known as logitech [09:30] rww: in ibex :O ? [09:30] jaek, amarok requires the ipod/iphone to be jail broken and sshd to be running so it can mount the ipod with sshfs [09:30] I installed it on g5 [09:30] jim_p: yeah :) [09:30] jaem: yea but i badly need sync support [09:31] TarBar - its integrated with DG already? or do i have to configure it so it runs with DG? [09:31] jim_p: an update to fglrx got pushed through while i was fiddling with it, which may have helped [09:31] DigitalFiz: didn't know that - thanks. I was actually referring to version < iPod Touch/iPhone [09:31] DG? [09:32] Ah wait, « TarBar » yeah was to me? [09:32] to ml lol [09:32] wops :P [09:32] DG? [09:32] lol [09:32] rww: and now you have fglrx in 8.10 with 3d acceleration?

[09:33] jim_p: fglrx loaded according to the Xorg log, and I just loaded up compiz w/o problems, so I'm gonna go with yeah [09:34] jim_p: any tests you want me to do to confirm? [09:34] huh [09:34] rww: glxgears [09:34] when I use realplay11gold to play internet radio, there comes out this error message: text/html;charset=utf-8 [09:34] <[mbm]> rww: glxinfo [09:34] <[mbm]> look for direct render [09:35] hi there, ive got some bash scripts, at the moment theyre in /home/ my /home/ is getting messy, wheres the best place to put them? is there like a recommended usual location? [09:35] jim_p: glxgears outputs high FPS (>600), and works (occasional flickers [09:35] rww: ok [09:35] [mbm]: direct rendering: Yes [09:35] hi i have trouble /.configure createtorrent - "checking for SHA1 in -lssl... no | configure: error: error, OpenSSL required" [09:35] The same when I use rhythmbox to play radio which says no text/html plug in. How could I fix it? [09:35] know someone which package i need? [09:36] rww: i dont want to start on fglrx flaws now [09:36] ubuntu_todd: what is the radio URL you're using? [09:36] http://www.c-span.org/Listen/C-SPAN-Radio_rm.aspx [09:36] that's the web page [09:36] jaem: radio from c-span [09:37] ergo the text/html - it /is/ html [09:37] jaem:? [09:37] you need the link to the actual stream [09:37] give me a sec [09:38] jaem: great thanks in advance, I spent whole night to this. I wanner listen to the radio to know some news [09:38] i'm trying to install a plugin for audacious (xmms alarm), and i need glib, but I can't install it, and it's not in the repo's (I have a 64 bit system) what can I do? [09:38] well, first of all, these are video streams, so internet radio won't work for the links on that page [09:38] <[mbm]> jaem: they do a stupid user agent switching trick [09:38] jaem: that one is radio not video. [09:38] sorry - I don't see a radio link [09:39] checking for SHA1 in -lssl... no | configure: error: error, OpenSSL required - know someone which package need? [09:39] mbm: are you saying I should switch my UA to see what ubuntu_todd is seeing? [09:40] * jaem is stupid [09:40] sorry [09:40] * jaem understands now [09:41] jaem: I am not sure is that one is radio or video. But I guess it is radio and it uses realplay to broadcast [09:41] vbox 2.04 is out [09:41] hi..all [09:41] yeah... I just missed the obvious [09:42] hello === Lokian_ is now known as Lokian [09:43] ubuntu_todd: sorry - I don't have RealPlayer installed, and I don't want to have it installed... here's the basics, though [09:43] they don't provide a direct link... so you have to find it [09:44] load the RealAudio radio page, right-click, and select "view source" [09:44] scratch that [09:44] jaem: Do you have rhythmbox, could you use that to listen to the radio? [09:44] <[mbm]> jaem: the aspx url is correct, but the server will spit out html if it doesn't think the client is the correct player [09:44] sorry... give me a sec - I'm overtired [09:44] yeah.. got that [09:45] ubuntu_todd:you trying to listen to internet radio? [09:45] I'm just trying to figure out the easiest way of explaining how to grab the actual URL [09:45] copy and paste [09:45] yes. That is http://www.c-span.org/Listen/C-SPAN-Radio_rm.aspx or http://www.c-span.org/Listen/C-SPAN-Radio_wm.aspx [09:45] I was looking for the RM URL [09:45] or maybe I'm missing something [09:46] I have vlc, mplayer, realplay, rhymbox installed, now I just wanner listen to the cspan radio [09:46] ubuntu_todd:you got mplayer? [09:46] thiebaude: It doesn't work. [09:47] ubuntu_todd: try this: http://play.rbn.com/play.asx?url=cspan/cspan/realaudio/cspan4db.asf [09:47] ubuntu_todd:you tried the mplayer plugin for firefox? [09:47] that *should* be the actual audio stream URL [09:48] jaem: Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. [09:48] >< [09:48] it loads in FF for me, but I don't think I have the plugin [09:48] cspan loads, but buffers and takes a long time [09:49] cspan isn't working for me, i wonder if its their server [09:50] thiebaude: can't resolve name for af-inet6: play.rbn.com [09:50] the URL appears to be valid, but it isn't loading for me either [09:50] it seems to buffer in FF, but Rythmbox throws up errors [09:51] Yes, I don't know why, I have tried many player but no hope [09:51] sorry... I don't know what to say [09:51] but mplayer does work for me all the time [09:52] <[mbm]> ubuntu_todd: mplayer -playlist http://... [09:52] for me i would say its the cspan site [09:52] <[mbm]> ah, you've already done that [09:52] how can i remove the new wine put the old 1.0 back on? [09:53] sudo apt-get remove wine [09:53] then find the old .deb, and manually install ity [09:53] that's probably easier [09:53] predator:sudo apt-get remove program name [09:53] [mbm]: have you tried the radio link? [09:54] <[mbm]> ubuntu_todd: nope [09:54] thx all and puting an older wine back on? [09:56] is there any program similar like vmware for ubuntu ? [09:56] can i use wget through telnet? [09:56] jaem: when I right click , there is no source location. How to find source? [09:57] right-click on the page itself [09:57] piko_water: virtualbox or qemu + some frontend [09:57] I'm setting up ubuntu on my imac g3 it asks for my ip address. It is a dynamic ip what should i type? [09:57] piko_water: virtubox [09:57] then find the realaudio address [09:57] as I said, I don't have it installed, and the website is stupid, so I can't help you much more than that [09:57] but it should look something like the URL I gave you [09:57] piko_water: what cpu are you on? qemu loads a cpu specific module [09:57] if what I gave you is wrong (I don't know) [09:58] actualy think ill try the newest pre relese [09:58] jim_p, let me check the spec [09:58] piko_water: go to #vbox.

(sudo apt-get remove wine) [10:09] jim_p, if i choose the ubuntu8.04 it will download the .deb file, as you mentioned that i should not download the debian [10:09] i can try to finish the isntall and see if it configures them [10:09] I haven't tried Untangle (thought about it), but I would imagine that it would configure that itself, or at least guide you through it [10:09] sure [10:09] kk [10:09] predator363: sudo apt-get autoremove wine --purge [10:10] ill redo it then [10:10] thanks [10:10] koshari: It is .rm [10:10] #help [10:10] jim_p: k [10:10] piko_water: do not download ANY .deb [10:10] piko_water: follow the instructions ytere [10:10] can i add a newsgroup in my evolution mail client?

[10:12] koshari: in fact, real player is based on helix [10:12] ubuntufan: ubuntu-cn [10:12] jaem: i think so [10:12] jim_p helix is the free licence evrsion of realplayer and that still doesnt play rreal media [10:12] how do i mount a usb pendrive, if its not mounting automaticaly ? [10:12] koshari: I think that is not really radio. Maybe it is podcast. [10:13] I installed virtualbox, it didn't work for me, I removed it. But now no soundcards are recognized on my system. I purged it, reinstalled alsa-base, rebooted and still no sound. #vbox set me here. [10:13] zax1: make a directory somewhere...

[10:14] zax1: it'll probably be /dev/sd something [10:14] should be, in that respect [10:14] if it's the first pendrive plugged in, it should be the last sd__ in letter order [10:14] as i said earlier today [10:14] e.g. one HDD: /dev/sdaX, first pendrive: /dev/sdbX [10:14] now that the download managers are on play :P , which one do you suggest for a gui one?

[10:22] split? [10:22] jaem: my ubuntu version is 8.04 [10:23] yeah - I think that should work, then, but it is always a somewhat risky process [10:23] jim_p, virtualbox-2.0: Depends: libssl0.9.7 but it is not installable [10:23] Depends: python2.3 (>= 2.3) but it is not installable [10:23] ?

[11:12] Flannel: yes [11:12] ikonia: there should be a ->Guided - use the largest continuous free space [11:12] can-o-worms do you have any free space?

[11:17] Dillizar- What's 10x?

[12:53] !cloning | Carpe|Diem [12:53] Carpe|Diem: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [12:54] elvis, it's mother board dependent. [12:54] Carpe|Diem: do that and copy over your /home and you should be ok [12:54] is that all, jrib ? [12:54] :) [12:54] and my /home partition can just be copy/pasted? [12:54] nice:) [12:55] Carpe|Diem: I guess you could just copy everything to the new drive too, that would probably work. The nice thing is you can try it and if it doesn't work, just start over :) [12:55] rly? [12:55] I can just copy/paste my entire OS? [12:55] lol:D [12:55] carpet, knock it off? [12:55] what?

[12:56] Carpe|Diem: well ok, I can think of one think that will break now. Your /etc/fstab [12:56] carpediem: you can do that in windows also ( copy the entire OS ) but why would you want to copy paste 10Gig + your personal data [12:56] can somebody help me out with advanced dns and dhcp configuration?

[13:13] * hagus disappears [13:13] Decepticon: after fresh install, normally a pop up should appeared (hardware drivers) telling you you could use restricted drivers to enable full (or almost) support for your card [13:13] Bodsda: err, hm, no, i should test that, eh? [13:14] Bodsda: that is, i don't know [13:14] graft, its probably the desktop effects -- they dont play nice with ati's :) [13:14] Decepticon: then it would have been just a matter of clicking on the nvidia choice in the hardware drivers box [13:14] blue-frog after a fresh install of 8.04, i had no X [13:14] Bodsda: well, is there a workaround for something like this, or must i do without?

[13:16] so i used the alt install cd [13:16] without testing regular install [13:16] alternate install of the desktop version of ubuntu [13:16] Decepticon: ok. you will need to reboot. I am not sure if it's gonna work then as I haveb't upgraded my fx5200 to hardy yet, still in feisty [13:17] hm ok, i will reboot now [13:17] Decepticon: but in feisty it does work with glx-new [13:17] has intrepid been released yet?

[13:24] blue-frog, apparently: grep: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory [13:24] trask: try the memtester on the live cd.. leave it running for a night or so [13:24] ikonia for wireless networking, i boot off a local network but need access to the internet [13:24] defrysk, but when plugging in the iPod, it automagically fires up rythmbox even if banshee is open.. banshee doesn't detect the ipod when rythmbox "steals" it [13:24] Decepticon: ok. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg [13:24] blue-frog we mvd the xorg.conf to xorg.conf-old i tjink, and it hasnt regenerated since reboot [13:24] deadlyninja: but you must realise that stop/starting network manager will reconfigure your network devices [13:24] blue-frog ok [13:24] ikonia: thanks for the help yesterday, that method worked well [13:24] Gothfunc: ahhh good, glad your running, [13:25] Decepticon: try using the driver called nv [13:25] slart, that software i like, sounds like a good idea, helped me find errors on a freinds machine [13:25] ikonia: is there anyway to exclude one? [13:25] deadlyninja: excude one what ? [13:25] ikonia: at first i panicked because the whole system messed up, but then i found out i hadn't chgrped the home dir ;) [13:25] Decepticon: if any called nv (otherwise nvidia if any) [13:25] ikonia: is there any way to exclude a network adapter from getting reset by NetworkManager [13:25] Gothfunc: ahhhhhh of crouse, should have managed that [13:25] deadlyninja: no idea, networkmanager is the devil [13:26] blue-frog: Use kernel framebuffer device interface? [13:26] Decepticon: any by default [13:26] anything [13:26] Rockj, system > preferred applications [13:26] Hi guys. I've somehow managed to screw up compiz on hardy and would really appreciate some help fixing it. I was fiddling last night and now, when I go to the "Visual Effects" tab in the appearance setting and try and turn eyecandy on, I get an error message saying desktop effects could not be enabled. [13:26] defrysk, tried, no changes. does it require a relogon maybe? [13:26] bridie: most common cause is your not using hardware acceleration on your video card [13:27] Decepticon: did you use the nv driver? [13:27] bridie: I had the same problem a while ago.. found a little utility that helped me.. hang on, let me find that webpage again [13:27] ikonia: OK - so how would I check that [13:27] blue-frog it didnt ask me anything about drivers... it just asked me 4 questions about keyboard [13:27] Decepticon: ok [13:27] Rockj, you changed rhythmbox to banshee there ? [13:27] bridie: glxgears -info [13:27] defrysk, yes I did. [13:27] ikonia - the gears appear OK [13:28] Decepticon: reconfigure is over? I assume you have an xorg.conf now [13:28] Rockj, maybe you haqve to restart X yes, you could try that [13:28] bridie: check the info output and see if dri ie enabled [13:28] blue-frog yes, recofnigure is over, it only asked me questions about keyboad [13:28] blue-frog should i grep xorg.conf for nvidia again [13:29] defrysk, oki - Ill go for a reboot. brb [13:29] Rockj, not a reboot [13:29] ikonia: The output in the console? [13:29] bircorrect [13:29] Rockj, ctrl-alt-backspace [13:29] bridie: correct [13:29] er irc.redebrasil.org.br [13:29] Decepticon: no. we will try now to see what it does. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [13:29] bridie: what video card are you using ? [13:29] blue-frog, just thought i'd mention the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command no longer asks about graphics, you have to reboot, choose recovery from grub then choose the 'xfix' option [13:30] blue-frog, its a black screen still [13:30] I finally installed ubuntu. But it didnt recognize my graphics. On windows I downloaded the ATI driver for linux for radeon hd 3200. its a run file. How do I run this in root?

[13:31] blue-frog okay [13:31] Flynsarmy, thats about it yes [13:31] ciao [13:32] defrysk, your answer is ambiguous [13:32] bridie: try this little script http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check [13:32] bridie: in my view first thing I'd do is open ccsm and set the compiz settigns to default, get it working like that first, then move forward [13:32] Decepticon: have a look at tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log [13:32] defrysk, reboot didn't help. (I could just aswell do a reboot when I had to close my applications) [13:32] bridie: it checks for all kinds of stuff.. and even fixes some of them [13:32] Flynsarmy, if you are uncertain, its better to wait [13:32] Decepticon: for an eventual error [13:32] !list [13:32] Hi!

[13:42] graft: ati cards are touch and go [13:42] ikonia: I've tried enabling specific plugins in cssm and also in the appearance settings, under the "visual effects" tab. [13:42] what can i accomplish with the radeon drivers? [13:42] Does anyone know how to get/install the Atheros AR5009 802.11a/g/n wifi adapter or similar? I need internets so I can get on irc within linux. [13:42] graft: ati cards are touch and go, varying ranges of usability [13:43] bridie: ok, so you get a popup saying "can't be enabled" [13:43] Decepticon: yes. add a new line blow identifier in section devicein xorg.conf section device add Driver "nvidia" [13:43] blue-frog it looks like this now http://pastebin.ca/1235636 [13:43] skurakai1, ask in a room which supports your app [13:43] blue-frog okay done, in the new paste [13:43] ikonia: Yep [13:43] no room for this [13:43] Decepticon save and try sudo modprobe nvidia again [13:43] it is basic app for ubuntu [13:43] !wifi | PassionFRUI7E, this is all the info I know of: [13:43] PassionFRUI7E, this is all the info I know of:: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:43] what app is it ? [13:44] createtorrent [13:44] blue-frog: FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia [13:44] bridie: ok, so you've got a card (same as my laptop) that we know is setup to work - you enable compiz settings and it borks [13:44] bridie: what did you do to actually break it [13:44] ping.... anyone? [13:45] error404notfound: what ? [13:45] error404notfound: pong? [13:45] graft: while I can't solve your radeon woes you can do what I did about it, open a help ticket with ATI and ask them for help with it, when they tell you 'no' tell them how disappointed you are with that answer. The help desk tickets get counted and reported, it's an effective way to tell them what you, the consumer, expects. [13:45] ikonia: Yeah, I know it definitely works as I've been using for months now. I was fiddling around trying to enable the cylinder (instead of cube) I think. Last night though I thought I'd be smart and remove all compiz things from synaptic and re-install. It hasn't helped. [13:45] bridie ahhh so you've removed cmopiz [13:45] bridie: why did you think that would help???? [13:45] works in windows! [13:45] ikonia: I thought I'd re-installed though [13:46] * cast hides [13:46] scampbell: good idea, i'll do that [13:46] bridie: why would a re-install help ? [13:46] is there a way to redownload the updates [13:46] ikonia: Slart: a software that can create ascii text, like those old pics of a man using 0,1,0 ... [13:46] Decepticon: dpkg -l nvidia* | grep ii | awk '{print$2}' | xargs sudo apt-get remove --purge -y [13:46] error404notfound: gedit? [13:46] Slart: funny, nice [13:46] Decepticon: sudo updatedb && locate nvidia [13:46] ikonia: I have absolutely no idea :) Just seemed like something worth trying. Re-installing samba actually fixed a recurring problem for me yesterday. so maybe I was getting cocky :) [13:47] blue-frog that command unstalled nvidia-glx-new [13:47] Slart: nope, not manuall.. something in which you will to just give a text [13:47] bridie so what packages did you re-install [13:47] Decepticon: and nvidia-common or kernel-common? [13:47] Mamoru_Sabishii, apt-get upgrade -d [13:47] ikonia: one sec - opening synaptic [13:47] error404notfound there are web pages that will do it for you, ratehr than software packages [13:47] error404notfound: I'm not quite sure I understand what you want? do you want to create ascii picture? show them? [13:47] blue-frog theres too many results to list for the command 'sudo updatedb && locate nvidia' [13:47] Mamoru_Sabishii, -d is the download only flag [13:47] blue-frog it didnt uninstall those two that you mention [13:48] ikonia: hmmm, like? [13:48] error404notfound: have a google, I found one ages ago to make my /etc/motd [13:48] defrysk: ok so the file will be at /var/cache/apt/archives? [13:48] ikonia: and what exactly to search/. [13:48] compiz, compiz bcop, compiz-core, compiz-dev, compiz-fusion-plugins etc (there's quite a few packages.) [13:48] error404notfound: take a look at this one, is this what you want? http://www.degraeve.com/img2txt.php [13:48] Decepticon: must be your .run file interfering [13:48] Okay I know completely nothing about linux and all these tutorials make no sense to me. Is there any way for me to get wireless internet that I can understand? [13:48] error404notfound assci art generator [13:48] Hi [13:48] Mamoru_Sabishii, actually they should still be there [13:48] error404notfound be creative [13:48] Decepticon: dpkg -l nvidia* | grep ii | awk '{print$2}' gives nothing now, correct? [13:49] defrysk: hum i acidentally apt-get clean them so there none there [13:50] im not sure why 'dpkg -l nvidia* | grep ii | awk '{print$2}'' gives "No packages found matching nvidia.txt." .... what is nvidia.txt ?? [13:50] Mamoru_Sabishii, tricky then [13:50] Mamoru_Sabishii, since you have them already installed [13:50] defrysk: i need the updates to copy them to the other client [13:50] Hm...uninstall linux? k i will. [13:51] Decepticon: good question. dunno [13:51] defrysk: 14 client with slow internet connection [13:51] blue-frog sudo updatedb && locate nvidia gives these results: http://pastebin.ca/1235638 [13:51] Decepticon: nvidia* gets expanded to it, probably because you have nvidia-txt in your current working directory. You want: 'nvidia*' instead [13:51] Mamoru_Sabishii, not sure, It should be possible but you have to ask someone else [13:51] Hello...there... [13:51] anybody help me? [13:51] okay [13:51] oh [13:51] ok [13:51] ikonia hello [13:51] * Decepticon rm's nvidia.txt [13:51] ikonia: http://i36.tinypic.com/3zmus.png and http://i38.tinypic.com/w0j50h.png [13:52] !anybody > idesprado [13:52] idesprado, please see my private message [13:52] Decepticon: ... just put quotes around it like I said [13:52] I can't install ubuntu 8.10beta from harddisk [13:52] !ibex | idesprado [13:52] idesprado: 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 [13:52] sorf2993 yes ? [13:52] blue-frog, the updated command with quotes gives no result for nvidia [13:52] Decepticon: ok all the nvidia stuff in your puter comes from the run file I presume [13:53] afternoon all [13:53] Decepticon: well part of it at least [13:53] bridie: ooh your in kde, I'm not sure how it fits together in kde [13:53] blue-frog, i am willing to reinstall if thats what this takes [13:53] ikonia: I'm not in KDE.... [13:53] bridie ooh, I thought you where installing kde packages, sorry [13:53] ikonia: that one in the pic is highlighted just randomly :) [13:54] nvidia, that reminds me, ubuntu homepage said 7600 cards were recommended, does that mean use of non-proprietary drivers are working great? or just the cards means less bugs? [13:54] bridie install the package "compiz-fusion" - make sure it pulls down all the deps [13:54] Mamoru_Sabishii, you could do the upgrade on an older machine to see what packeges are needed , after that you can do an apt-get install -r [13:54] sorf2993: please do not use ctcp finger requests on random people in the channel [13:54] hello all. I have a GeForce 6200 installed with ubuntu 7.04. Can someone tell me how to increase the res past 800x600? The unsupported driver only goes up to 640x480 [13:54] ikonia: E: Couldn't find package compiz-fusion [13:54] Mamoru_Sabishii, on your faster machine that is [13:54] Decepticon: frankly I would do that instead of fiddling over and over [13:55] Mamoru_Sabishii, -r stands for reinstall [13:55] blue-frog i dont mind it, i dont have any data on this machine [13:55] blue-frog should i do it? [13:55] defrysk: at the office so slow but not at home. pc at home quite fast [13:55] blue-frog it may take a while, ill have to contact you a bit later if i go through with it and try to figure out how to get the driver to work [13:55] Decepticon: could you get a hold on an intrepid 8.10 disk by chance? [13:55] Mamoru_Sabishii, run the upgrade just to see what packages are required, not to actually upgrade [13:55] defrysk: i just need the updates to copy them to the other clients (14 of them) [13:56] blue-frog the release candidtate? [13:56] blue-frog yes, it will take a bit longer only [13:56] Decepticon: yes whatever. but if you have 8.04 handy just reinstall 8.04 [13:56] Mamoru_Sabishii, if you knowe the package names you can reinstall them on your faster machine and the packages wil be in the archives again [13:56] blue-frog i have 8.04 reguar and 8.04 alternate and 8.04 server [13:57] okay i will try that [13:57] :d [13:57] thx [13:57] Decepticon: with desktop 8.04, you have a working screen? [13:57] Mamoru_Sabishii, its a dirty trick but should work :) [13:57] bridie: do a search for compiz-fusion I thought the meta package was called compiz-fusion too, but I've not got an ubuntu box to check [13:57] blue-frog, on the desktop 8.04 regular livecd, there is a black screen just as there is now [13:57] blue-frog that is the reason i installed with the alternate install cd [13:57] hello, does anyone have time for a noob? :) [13:58] !ask | Sirious_Toast [13:58] Sirious_Toast: 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. :-) [13:58] Decepticon: try getting 8.10 then. if you use same cds, you're gonna endup with same problems [13:58] alright [13:58] Decepticon: wait [13:58] blue-frog ? [13:58] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/61983/ [13:58] anyone? bueller? [13:59] when you installed with alternate, you had normal screen / no screen /low graphics? which one just after the install? [13:59] defrysk: any way i need to re-install my pc tho :D, what i do get the updates, copy them to usb from /var/cache/apt/archives >>> copy them to clients same directory >> and run sudo apt-get update. am i right [13:59] w0ls0n saying anyone is pointless, if they missed the question anyone doesn't tell them it, if they don't know the answer saying anyone doesn't make them know it [13:59] Decepticon: when you installed with alternate, you had normal screen / no screen /low graphics? which one just after the install? [13:59] using both the normal cd and the alternate cd, i ended up with a black screen for X [13:59] i'm a ubuntu virgin, trying to install vmware tools, it says i need to be logged in as "super user" when i installed ubuntu it didn't setup any kinda of Administration account, any ideas? [13:59] bridie: it's not those packages, I've not got a box to check it for you I'm afraid [13:59] blue-frog using both the normal cd and the alternate cd, i ended up with a black screen for X [14:00] Mamoru_Sabishii, you could do that or do dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/* [14:00] Decepticon: no use reinstalling 8.04 then to my mind [14:00] !vmware | Sirious_Toast [14:00] Sirious_Toast: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [14:00] !sudo > Sirious_Toast [14:00] Sirious_Toast, please see my private message [14:00] blue-frog ok, it will take me a bit to dl 8.10 rc [14:00] Mamoru_Sabishii, but your suggestion should work fine :) [14:00] Decepticon: ok going away for a good while anyway [14:01] blue-frog will you be available later? [14:01] defrysk: the command right? sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get update on the others client [14:01] Decepticon: what do you call later? 1 hour 2? more? [14:01] Mamoru_Sabishii, sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade [14:01] ikonia: And it's not one of the ones I've already checked in synaptic, like "compiz" or "compiz-core" ? [14:02] blue-frog i know the download will take a while, and the install takes at least 45 minutes, so i would say around 4 hours later [14:02] Decepticon: make 5 or 6 and it'll be ok with me [14:02] bridie it could be, but I was expecting a meta-package like ubuntu-desktop that contains it all [14:02] defrysk: okay thx alot run sudo apt-get update 1st then sudo apt-get upgrade [14:02] thx :D [14:02] blue-frog sounds good [14:02] Mamoru_Sabishii, cool :) and good luck [14:02] thanx for your help :D [14:02] ikonia: "compiz" came with a lot of dependencies when I installed that I believe. [14:02] bridie: maybe it is just compiz then === Mamoru_Sabishii is now known as Mamoru_Sabishii- [14:03] bridie: didn't think it was, but maybe it is [14:03] ikonia: desc: This meta-package provides the components necessary for running compiz. It provides the compiz core, a set of standard plugins, a window decorator using the Gtk toolkit and the files necessary to integrate compiz with the GNOME desktop environment. [14:03] bridie: sounds good === Mamoru_Sabishii- is now known as Mamoru_Sabishii [14:03] bridie: your going to have to start looking in your xorg logs and your syslogs to find out clues why it's not starting then [14:04] hey [14:04] what package should i install to have [14:04] Hi, when the new version of Ubuntu is released, would it be safe to install it on my Thinkpad T60p? I am mostly worried about the 'bug' that caused excessive hard drive wear due to some issues bewteen Linux & Power management. === aminh___ is now known as aminh [14:04] dan01: check the bug status in launch[ad to see if it is fixed in 8.10 [14:04] ikonia: Where do I find the logs to check, and what should I look for? [14:05] mkartic: check with packages.ubuntu.com or apt-file [14:05] bridie: /var/log - look for clues to compiz/xorg problems [14:05] thanks [14:07] nick nilwinto === ruster is now known as nilwinto [14:09] got intrepid running in virtualbox [14:09] looks pretty nice [14:09] bahadunn: join #ubuntu+1 please for 8.10 chat [14:09] ikonia, do you happen to know the bug ID #? I couldn't find it, which is why I am asking here. [14:09] ikonia: no thanks I didnt really want to chat about it [14:10] dan01 sorry no [14:10] bahadunn: ok - so don't start chatting about it then [14:10] ikonia: believe me if I had known I would not have even so much have commented about it [14:10] ikonia: especially knowing how IRC channels are these days [14:10] bahadunn when you join a channel type "/topic" always good to see the channels topic [14:11] ikonia: Can't see anything except this http://i38.tinypic.com/1zxsk6t.png [14:11] ikonia: I have been idling here for a while and I am sorry I dont check the topic every day === JackWinter_ is now known as JackWinter [14:12] bahadunn no need to apologise [14:12] ikonia: well I didnt mean to put anyone off [14:12] bridie thats not good, compiz is segfaulting [14:12] ikonia: and you pownced pretty hard so... an apology seems in order [14:12] bahadunn: not at all [14:12] bahadunn zero need [14:13] can i convert a normal install of ubuntu 7.10 to a raid 5 later on? [14:14] ubuntu 8.10 in novembrrr :( [14:14] CoLd what ? [14:14] CoLd: better watch yourself [14:14] ubuntu coming soon, loooonger date [14:15] CoLd the date on the website is 30th October as it has always been [14:15] 31 october is november kkk === strAlan_ is now known as Chris_Britton [14:15] morning! i have done an apt-get updat / upgrade / dist-upgrade on my hardy heron. but some packages did not install, like dbus and hal. tried some dpkgs comands,but did not solve. any help? [14:15] elvis123, its going to be tricky but it can be done.. you will add the two or more hdds for raid5, create a degraded raid5 array on the two new hdds, copy installation to the degraded raid5 array, then add the original hdd to raid5 array [14:15] CoLd: if you want to discuss it please join #ubuntu+1 [14:15] CoLd: told you so [14:15] bahadunn drop it [14:15] ship it kkkkkk [14:15] All, I get a segfault when i click any button in gedit ... any clues? [14:15] ikonia: So what should I do? [14:16] ikonia: just warning others about to make the same mistake as me [14:16] bridie not sure why your getting a segfault at this moment in time [14:16] I cannot see how that would be a problem [14:16] XLV i already have 3 500GB drives [14:16] looking out for my fellow ubuntu user is all [14:16] bahadunn no you where not, you where trying to be clever "watch your self" then "told you" thats not wawrning each other [14:16] but I am fins=ding it next to impossible to config a raid 5 [14:16] ikonia: Is there no way to just completely remove compiz from the system and start again from scratch? [14:17] bridie well thats what you did, and look what you've got [14:17] ikonia: if you say so [14:17] !ot | bahadunn [14:17] bahadunn: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [14:17] which file do i add sudoers too? [14:17] please take chat elsewhere bahadunn [14:17] elvis123 what sort of raid 5 ? software/hardware/fakeraid / [14:17] software [14:17] elvis123: as in linux mdadm software ? [14:17] !pastebin [14:17] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [14:17] elvis123, yeah, the procedure wont change.. if you already have 3 new hdds that you would use as raid5 array, then you dont need to create a degraded raid5 array, but a clean one, then you need to move ubuntu installation to raid5 array.. what i mentioned before was in the case you want to use the hdd you got now the ubuntu install in the raid array [14:18] ikonia: Yeah, but was thinking perhaps I did it wrong. Am really not looking forward to doing a fresh install of the os :( [14:18] yes [14:18] elvis123: what command arey ou using [14:18] bridie: I can understand that, I guess you could try sudo apt-get --reinstall compiz [14:18] bridie: no promise that will make it better though [14:18] Can i have someone look at this pastbin for me and see if you can figure out what to do? When i click any icon in gedit i get a segfault: http://paste.ubuntu.com/61996/ [14:18] nm... for some reason, apt-get install -f resolved now. [14:18] computers... [14:19] ls [14:19] hi ppl. [14:19] hi people. I accidently typed chmod 644 -R /.... I stoped the action after 20 seconds with ctrl+c. [14:19] Now I'm using Live CD [14:19] ikonia: that command doesn't work (E: Invalid operation compiz) [14:19] How do I return my system to normal? [14:19] bridie: I can understand that, I guess you could try sudo apt-get install --reinstall compiz [14:19] i'm wonrering if someone who has configured a dual-head with the radeon driver can help me a little bit. [14:19] ArthuD: manually set it back [14:19] elvis123, partition the hdd, set the filesystem type as linux raid, then man mdadm.. but if you want to boot from that raid5 array, or have different partitions for /boot, /root and swap, its even more tricky [14:19] ikonia: how [14:19] ? [14:20] ArthuD manually chmod files back tot he right permissions [14:20] gedit [14:20] oops [14:20] I don't know the right permissions of the file system [14:20] elvis123, i got a raid5 array in my file server, how i have done it is this: [14:20] ArthuD there are docs ont he web [14:20] (i know my home directory) [14:20] ArthuD: sorry, there are docs on the web [14:20] ArthuD search for FHS [14:21] oh. ok - what words should i look for in google? [14:21] elvis123, each hdd ( there are four of them ), has one 250MB boot partition, one 2GB swap, one 20GB root and the rest for the raid5 [14:21] ikonia: Don't know if this helps, but got these errors doing that: http://paste.ubuntu.com/61998/ [14:22] elvis123, i created a raid1 array for boot ( 2 hdds and the two extra as spares ), one raid1 array for swap ( two hdds and two extra as spares ) and one raid1 array for /root ( again two hdds and the two extra as spares ).. [14:22] bridie interesting, it won't overwrite teh local files, you could try doing a apt-get purge compiz then use the apt-get install compiz settings [14:22] hello, my wi-fi card driver is not automatically detected : 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [14:22] elvis123, you dont want to use the raid5 for swap.. since its cpu intensive, better use raid1 for those [14:23] is http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/ down? [14:24] first i create 3 partitions for all 3 drives with cfdisk all linux raid autodetect then i create raid: mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/... /dev/... /dev/... except for my boot partition i create a level 1 [14:24] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/61999/ [14:24] bridie ok, so now look at the dpkg logs to find out what's going on [14:25] bridie: or try removing the fusion-icon package [14:25] elvis123, you wont use swap partition? or use swap file inside raid5 array? [14:25] so not raid for swap..? [14:26] elvis123, you cant partition the raid5 array.. i mean if you use all the hdds for raid5, then you cant partition the array for a swap partition inside it [14:26] Decepticon: it's up [14:26] elvis123, you can get by with no raid at all for swap [14:27] how much hard drive space does a lightweight installation of ubuntu usually take up? [14:27] Any good C++ IDE's for Ubuntu ? [14:28] Puppy eclipse [14:28] elvis123, or you can create 3 swap partititions of same size in each hdd, and use all of them as swap .. then its even better cause kernel does a form of raid0 ( striping ) to read/write faster to the swap [14:28] ReAn→ how lightweight do you want it to be? no graphics? or no text editors? [14:28] Puppy: anjuta; emacs; eclipse .... [14:28] elvis123, or you can create a raid1 for swap ( 2 partitions and one spare ) that way you can hotplug a hdd [14:28] ReAn based desktop install is about 2.5 gig [14:28] magnetron: it's basically a server + x [14:29] XLV: true but you have to set them to the same prio in fstab [14:29] ReAn: about 700 meg at a gues [14:29] guess [14:29] sweet [14:29] erUSUL, yeah [14:29] 2gb Virtual Machine GO! [14:29] hmmm [14:29] how can i "make" nachos in ubuntu? [14:29] any suggestions [14:29] ? [14:29] ReAn→ if you install x+gnome upon ubuntu server, a standard Desktop install will be more lightweight [14:29] bujar is nachos a software package or are you trying to be funny [14:29] XLV how do i do your last suggestion [14:30] im dead serious [14:30] bujar is nachos a software package? === thunders1ruck is now known as gnomefreak [14:30] magnetron: i was thinking more x+fluxbox or some other lightweight window manager [14:30] Anyone knows if the problem with flash apps overlapping javascript menus in firefox is or will be fixed?

[14:31] i need to use the "make" command [14:31] ReAn→ the standard ubuntu install is lightweight, if you need it on a lowendmachine install xubuntu and configure it to your needs. ubuntu server kernel will actually perform worse for desktop tasks than the desktop kernel, so start with xubuntu instead [14:31] bujar ok - so use the make command [14:31] elvis123, just create on each hdd a swap partition, eg 2GB.. then create a raid1 using two partitions and one spare.. then you need to use that md device as swap in fstab [14:32] ikonia: you think it's a flash bug then? [14:32] nomoa no idea [14:32] magnetron: what would you say the average install size of xubuntu is? [14:32] hmmm i get an error [14:35] ReAn→ install size is 1.5 GB, but then packages like Firefox and Thunderbird is included. you can always uninstall any packages cleanly with APT. [14:36] and xubuntu could be adapted easily to be a LAMP server? [14:36] standalone [14:36] ReAn→ what does "standalone" refer to in this case? [14:36] a daemon [14:36] ReAn→ it's always a daemon [14:36] well [14:37] ReAn→ yes, just add the "LAMP" task with synaptic === sheput is now known as r2mxr [14:39] ReAn: or use tasksel [14:40] * MANIAKA7000 hi all!

[15:48] I seem to have scared up bug #92268, but in a hardy->intrepid RC update [15:48] 5 days and 8.10 comes out [15:48] myeggo: sudo crontab -e should let you edit the root crotab. Also, Unforunately, Feisty is no longer supported. [15:49] hitman1985: hmm.. so all settings are ok.. and it's still not working? [15:49] myeggo: October 19th was its End of Life date. === weshit is now known as wishit [15:49] yes i can edit my crontab, and i add there a line with the proc, and it says no error but either works [15:49] Pici: it is a dhcpd server, they wont update [15:49] that is enough for what they want [15:50] (sadly for me) [15:50] Slart: nope:( [15:50] Hi [15:50] myeggo: Did you try restarting the cron daemon?

It could be apparmor to block it. How to set permissions with apparmor? [15:52] hitman1985: you're using the nvidia drivers from the restricted drivers? [15:52] nmh-j2graw, rstp is real player right ? [15:52] Slart: yes [15:53] der|kunstler: I think, but don't definitely remember [15:53] hitman1985: and you just get the "Couldn't enable desktop effects" errorbox? [15:53] nmh-j2graw, ok [15:53] Slart: no just nothing works, even that it is checked in hte ccsm [15:54] hitman1985: have you enabled the desktop effects before trying the change the settings?

I booted from my Acer Upgrade CD for vista, and it doesn't seem to find a boot problem any more, and 'fixmbr' and 'fixboot' aren't recognized as internal or external programs in the command prompt .. But it's STILL trying to boot from GRUB .. Any idea? [15:54] hitman1985: in system, preference, appearance [15:54] Slart: one sec :) [15:55] I would like to setup an Ubuntu server 8.04 with two eth ports to act as a dhcp and router (NAT), the problem is that most tutorials are targeted for those with a graphic gui (either firestarter or webmin) and i need something that is more commandline. [15:55] ubuntu is crap [15:55] slayer, wrong channel for you then [15:55] Slart: what should i put it on, normal or extra ? [15:55] Some_ux: try qtables [15:56] Slart: its only a 1.7 ghz amd with 5200 fx so i was thinking normal woudl do it for now [15:56] man qtables ? [15:56] hitman1985: it's just different settings.. but you'll change those yourself in the settings manager [15:56] More precisely, if someone wants to hook up a server, Ubuntu is crap [15:56] Alrighty .. I booted from my Acer Upgrade CD for vista, and it doesn't seem to find a boot problem any more, and 'fixmbr' and 'fixboot' aren't recognized as internal or external programs in the command prompt .. But it's STILL trying to boot from GRUB .. Any idea? [15:56] slayer, this is ubuntu support; please take chat elsewhere [15:56] Some_ux: http://qtables.radom.org/ (seems its not being actively developed any longer) [15:56] slayer: do you have a question? there is an offtopic channel for rants [15:56] Some_ux, I strongly recommend to use OpenBSD or NetBSD for DHCP and routing [15:56] !ot | slayer [15:56] slayer: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [15:57] Some_ux: it's basically just a .sh script that sets up your iptables [15:57] slayer: does it really matter? :S [15:57] Of course it matters you Ubuntu zealots === jannott_ is now known as JannoT [15:57] slayer, Ubuntu performs rather well for me, why use openBSD ? [15:57] slayer, please stop [15:57] Slart: wow, a simple reactivate helped, thank you [15:58] Anyone at all?.... [15:58] hitman1985: you're welcome [15:58] * iShock sighs [15:58] Slart: lol, i checked everything but that point :( easy steps are most of the time to difficult to think of, have a good one :) byebye [15:58] Some_ux, Because OpenBSD and NetBSD have been made for that purpose, while Ubuntu have been made for desktop. You have no security and no reliability with Ubuntu, comparing to BSD [15:59] bazhang: Help! :( [15:59] [15:59] !patience > iShock [15:59] iShock, please see my private message [15:59] iShock: grub is installed to the mbr (probably) [15:59] Slart: No duh, I want it to go away though! :'( [15:59] iShock: I have no idea what the cd from acer does or why it doesn't work with those commands [16:00] * scampbell /ignore slayer ftw [16:00] fffffffff [16:00] Slart, I'm in the repair your computer section, and the automatic doo-dad is failing. [16:00] iShock: you'll have to install another mbr.. the fixmbr command works on some windows install cd in rescue mode [16:00] install another .. are you kidding me? [16:00] iShock: but we can't help you use your acer supplied software.. you'll have to ask acer for help with that.. or a windows channel perhaps [16:01] iShock: nope.. not kidding [16:01] Slart, it's a Windows vista install/upgrade cd, that came with my acer laptop .. [16:01] myeggo: Sorry, I'm really lagging here. Does your script have #!/bin/bash as the first line, and if it does, have you tried using a simple command and testing if that runs? [16:02] Pici: yes, and i verified that is not a ^M (for windows), typing ./file.tcl does properly [16:02] iShock: yes, I know what it is.. I have one on my desk..I don't know how it works or what it does [16:02] Pici: i also tried to create a sh file for execute it via tclsh file.tcl, but that wont success [16:02] im really annoyed with this [16:02] Slart, describe the disk (In PM if you must) [16:03] hey guys im running a software based raid set up [16:04] i find that my cpu usage is constantly 90%+ [16:04] iShock: no, I wont.. I won't boot it up just to try it.. it came with my acer laptop.. but back to the issue.. you've got a problem with a acer restore cd that reinstalls windows.. the ubuntu channel isn't the best place to ask for help with that [16:04] im running a celeron. Im looking at throwing in a quad core. WIll that help bring down my cpu usage? [16:04] zzzzzzzzzzzzz [16:04] saky, please stop [16:05] Slart, you don't need to boot into it to tell me what the disk looks like .. But it's not a restore CD, it's an upgrade CD .. [16:05] iShock: the mbr is a part of the hard drive (the first track), it just starts things up and then hands off to the rest of the boot program.. you have to have some kind of mbr (either the grub one or whatever comes with windows) [16:05] iShock, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record :) fun reading. [16:06] dr_Willis: How's that going to help me uninstall grub? [16:06] iShock, You dont 'uninstall' it - you install a different MBR over it.. basically [16:06] iShock: you don't uninstall grub.. you install something else over it [16:06] :) [16:07] what they said lol [16:07] ... [16:07] Useless people :'( [16:07] In case of the old windows the command was 'fdisk /mbr' under XP it was fixmbr/fixboot , and under vista.. i forget.. [16:07] iShock: sorry for telling you the truth [16:07] hello I have a desktop install of hardy that is slowly becoming a server and I need some help [16:07] iShock: but realite doesn't change because you don't like it [16:07] You some how instll the proper mbr for the os you wish to use. [16:08] There are also live cd's that have 'fix the mbr' tools.. Ultimate boot cd. might be one. I havent use it in ages [16:08] I want it to connect to the internet and run the back ground deamons with out loging in after reboot [16:08] any one have an idea [16:09] iShock: why not ask in ##windows , they might be able to help you fix your windows install, reinstall windows or whatever you want to do.. we can help you reinstall/install ubuntu [16:09] lunafreestate: there are lots of things that runs without a user logged in.. what software is it that doesn't run for you? [16:09] <[ipc]-michael> creating a separate home partition and reinstalling 8.04. 8.10's nvidia issues are a show stopper [16:10] <[ipc]-michael> im woefully unproductive without certain desktop effects [16:10] the network manager === SunWuKung| is now known as SunWuKung|away|a [16:10] this is a either net wired connection [16:10] lunafreestate: ah.. oh.. I see.. hmm.. would setting the computer to autologin be acceptable? [16:10] does anybody here have a high-speed http proxy? [16:10] I can't get any of the services to work without logging in [16:11] I don't like it but if it is the only option [16:11] hi if i go ahead and use Interpid Ibex Release Candiate will I be able to upgrade to the stable release when it is released? [16:11] louzer: yes [16:11] kyrksaeterora, you mean an internal network http proxy? [16:11] Hi, I have a question about hwclock. According to the man page while syncing the system time to the hardware time (hwclock --systohc) you can tell hwclock to write out the time as UTC or localtime. Regardless of the option I choose hwclock -r shows the same time. Even when I restore the time (--hctosys) the system time is still correct [16:11] Pici: could be if mailutils is not installed, cron wont work? [16:11] kyrksaeterora: forward, like squid; or reverse, like wodan? [16:11] louzer, yes; #ubuntu+1 for more [16:12] Slart: thanks [16:12] bazhang: thaks [16:12] external proxy, like one I can use to circumvent internet filters [16:12] lunafreestate: network manager should have some kind of daemon to do whatever it does without a user logged it.. but I've never seen one.. [16:13] lunafreestate: "should" = I think it would be nice =) [16:13] kyrksaeterora: have you considered tor? [16:13] hi [16:13] I hate messing with the conf file of stuff like that over ssh === root is now known as Guest87081 [16:13] hey :) When I login to ubuntu i get some orange screen for a short time until my desktop background image kicks in. Is there any way to change that color? (where?) [16:13] kyrksaeterora | nmh-j2graw, I would add endian firewall (forward), pound and nginx (reverse) [16:13] nmh-j2graw: tor has always been slow for me [16:14] kyrksaeterora, Tor may I say [16:14] ah got it - sudo gedit /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default [16:14] thanks [16:14] thank you for the help, I need to do some more googling now that I have a direction [16:14] Genscher: there are several.. there is one that is shown shortly after logging in but before your own settings kick in. I'll dig up the info [16:14] dr_Willis: [16:14] albertico: good point, I was thinking of things that seem to do lots of caching (though I know little of nginx) [16:14] kyrksaeterora: have you tried google(open proxy) ? [16:15] iShock, hmm? [16:15] Vista it's bootrec /fixboot and bootrec /fixmbr [16:16] lovely of MS to come up with totally new commands eh.. I rember why I use linux now. :) [16:16] I loved ubuntu till it wiped my MP3 player .. that upset me [16:16] nmh-j2graw: elaborate on this google(open proxy) [16:16] Hi ppl [16:16] How could I do a partition in my disk? [16:17] nmh-j2graw, nginx seems to be a nice project... I would consider it a kind of pound + apache hybrid... I'm still testing it though [16:17] iShock, You dont want to get me started on the things ive had windows do.. :) but this isent the place for that. [16:17] Reaverbot, gparted [16:17] Morning all [16:17] kyrksaeterora: as in, have you gone to www.google.com and searched for open proxy [16:17] need some tips for creating different startup profiles [16:17] albertico: sounds neat. Does it do caching/acceleration as well? [16:17] bazhang: yes, but all of my disk is in /de and ext3. [16:17] Hi Jack_Sparrow, and :P dr_Willis, it's donesome bad things, but Ubuntu just wasn't right, I think I muffed the install .. Anyway, no need for me to be in here on here now, might come visit/help sometime though [16:18] MeAndy what do you mean by startup profiles [16:18] How I could create a new partition from that one? [16:18] nmh-j2graw: I can't access any servers or websites with the word "proxy" in it because of the filter I'm trying to get around [16:18] kyrksaeterora: is this at work? [16:19] I have two different kernels and I want to have a certain program NOT startup when I boot a different kernel [16:19] nmh-j2graw: uni [16:19] kyrksaeterora: what an extremely annoying filter.. [16:19] MeAndy you can't really do that unless you put a check in the init script that does something like if uname -r = $version do this else do that [16:19] how can i convert a rmvb file to a vob file for burning on a dvd? [16:19] nmh-j2graw: the filters often block websites that are academic and useful so I usually circumvent them, but I lost my proxy list [16:19] Slart: tell me about it [16:19] Bodsda: mencoder is a very solid conversion tool [16:20] what is the easiest way to resize the partition ubuntu is installed on ? i tried booting to rescue mode, getting root, unmounted and using parted but i get errors saying that /dev/sda* is missing and there are no devices from parted [16:20] Bodsda, perhaps try DeVeDe also [16:20] thanking you kindly ikonia [16:20] Bodsda: I don't know if DeVeDe can work with rmvb files.. but it creates dvds from regular video files.. [16:20] dr_Willis, will do, cheers [16:20] cheers guys [16:20] zezu, i just use the Gparted Live cd. [16:20] sounds scary!!! [16:20] hmm, that would work, but can't write a cd atm [16:20] kyrksaeterora: why not use tor (as slow as it may be) to find a set of proxies that work for you? [16:20] how could I do a partition from my disk if I partition it all to .ext3 format. [16:20] i installed through some crazy means that didn't even work how it should and turned into a netboot [16:21] nmh-j2graw: oh wow why didn't I think of that [16:21] kyrksaeterora: I setup an openvpn server at home on port 443, I haven't found anyplace in years that blocks me. It also allows me full access to the internet for anything. I'm running IRC through it right now. [16:21] nmh-j2graw: okay thanks dude I'll do that [16:21] Reaverbot: use a tool like gparted [16:21] kyrksaeterora: took me a while, too... [16:21] nmh-j2graw: there any way to get torpark or a similar tor browser through sudo apt-get? [16:21] ikonia: yes, but it says to me only / can do this. And I cant do another partition because I am using in ext3 format the entire disk. [16:22] Reaverbot: I don't understand what you want to do [16:22] So, how could I create a new partition? [16:22] Reaverbot, use gparted [16:22] ikonia: i have all my disk (110gb) sin /dev/sda1 [16:22] Reaverbot if you have no free spaces on the disk it's very hard to re-partition [16:22] And I cant do a new partition [16:22] is it not possibe to find a peice of software to do it? [16:22] ikonia: better format? [16:23] Reaverbot formatting won't do anything as your partition will still be allocated [16:23] hi [16:23] nmh-j2graw, have not worked with those features on nginx, but if I am not wrong, there are modules (mod_accel and mod_deflate) that use compression for caching and acceleration... [16:23] ikonia: But from the cd of windows xp I could undo the partition. [16:23] kyrksaeterora: don't know, but looking at the tor info, it seems that you could get tor running and then point your normal webbrowser at a local proxy/entrypoint [16:23] Reaverbot thats your call [16:23] is anybody running knoppix in here? [16:23] Kingcrusha no, this is ubuntu support [16:24] ikonia: So, is very hard to reparition? [16:24] Kingcrusha, i have in the past.. but it has its own channel [16:24] Kingcrusha, try #knoppix [16:24] Reaverbot: if the disk is %100 allocated [16:24] Better format and undo the partition? [16:24] Hello what is that busy/away etc on my ubuntu panel? [16:24] i see so only ubuntu talk [16:24] albertico: hmm.. next time I revisit my frontend setup, I will have to try it out (against apache+friends) [16:24] ikonia: yes, 100% :( [16:24] Reaverbot: bit tricky [16:24] XD [16:24] Kingcrusha: knoppix is cool!!! [16:24] why are there no bitchx packages in 8.10 ? [16:24] its supposed to be great for hacking ive heard [16:24] ikonia: Ok, i will format, and do two partitions. [16:24] Thanks. [16:24] terje: it's a dead product [16:24] Kingcrusha: you heard wrong [16:25] is it? [16:25] Kingcrusha: and this is offtopic [16:25] nmh-j2graw, yeah... that's exactly what I am doing [16:25] Kingcrusha, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat please [16:25] eh i forgot skype doesn't provide a 64b binary [16:25] ikonia, what's the successor I wonder?

[16:26] zezu: why would you do that, it won't work [16:26] Kingcrusha: go to #knoppix ;) [16:26] Enissay: use an init script [16:26] zezu: yes [16:26] aight [16:26] TheBuzzSaw: ask the question [16:26] cause pidgen for IRC ain't cuttin it. [16:26] no? from i386 -> x64 ? [16:26] zezu: but there is a skype package [16:26] zezu: no === [newbie] is now known as LeeJunFan [16:26] hmm [16:26] zezu: let me check how I installed mine.. [16:26] Slart, its on the repos ? [16:27] zezu: I think it's on some repo.. let me search [16:27] ngocminh_218hd [16:27] ikonia: do have any example for me?

[16:29] a lof of Ubuntu related sites are slow/sluggish it seems. :) [16:29] ok the repos. is st ored on that server as well, guess i wont be using it :) [16:29] Is there an SQL expert who could help me solve a small problem? Can you message me directly? I have other messengers as well. [16:31] zezu: I'm not sure how they setup their stuff... but when the site comes online there is info on how to add it etc === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [16:31] yes i found that on ubuntu wiki [16:31] <_UsUrPeR__> goooood morning all. Quick question: How do I remove the "places" and "system" drop-down menu from the ubuntu desktop for a guest account? [16:32] the skype repo doesn't work [16:33] _UsUrPeR__: there is a main menu editor in .. system, preferences perhaps? try just removing it using that [16:33] ikonia, does mencoder have a gui? im getting lost in the man garbage which seems to be more about mplayer then anything else (man mencoder) [16:33] _UsUrPeR__, as that user. open the file manager. on the left side bar.. ya just delete the places you dont want.. BUT im not sure you can delete those.. it maybe a gnomeconfig setting ya have to tweak [16:33] any recomendations to something real easy to drop into my swap partitions (i'll disable then make it ext2) to run parted from ? [16:33] <_UsUrPeR__> thanks guys [16:33] <_UsUrPeR__> I'll check that next [16:34] zezu, you mean some linux to install to them? [16:34] yes [16:34] zezu, dsl/puppylinux would be the smallests [16:34] i mean dsl is small enough, but how to install it ? just drop vmlinuz etc in there ? [16:34] I need to set up a tftp serve to boot an embedded target ... I have the tftp config set up using xinetd ... the question I have is: I have two network interfaces(eth0, eth1), and eth1 is the one configured to talk to the target .... how do I get tftpd to talk using eth1 instead of eth0 ? [16:34] you would have to use their installer.. :) i guess [16:34] zezu, with pupy ya copy the files.. and fix up grub to boot it. [16:35] ok [16:36] dr_Willis, its an iso, is it a livecd or installer ?

[16:43] KKyle, what kidn of hardware do you have [16:43] break_free: that is changing my piding status messages :-s [16:44] I am attempting to install hardy on a thinkpad Iseries 1400, the bios reports the hdd as 4645mb the installation partitioner reports as 4.9gb and hangs at 33% of creating partition, I have searched google, and the forums, no joy, any help? [16:44] Aaqil, not sure [16:44] Hello ! Can i join a langochat channel with xchat or i must install something else ? [16:44] Elena__: only xchat will suffice [16:44] Thanks [16:45] break_free, I have a laptop with the intel core 2 4gigs of ram and it's running a 64 bit vista [16:47] i <3 how the kernel is the last thing the minimal CD installs [16:48] KKyle, you could try ubuntu 64-bit edition.... [16:48] KKyle: I would recommand the amd64 version since you have 4GB of memory [16:48] KKyle, what are you looking for? It's kinda hard to give you suggestions [16:49] KKyle: if you want a regular desktop computer, that is [16:49] KKyle: ubuntu/kubuntu or Xubuntu depending on taste [16:49] I think I'm going to get completley crazy [16:49] I'm trying to switch from vista to ubuntu but I would prefer 32 bit [16:49] anyone around know the name of the package which show exit options in ubuntu? [16:49] KKyle: I don't think you'll get to use all your memory if you go 32-bit [16:50] I realized a translation mistake, but I don't know this package's name [16:50] KKyle, Ubuntu 8.04 is the latest stable version... Ubuntu 8.10 will be released on 6 days [16:50] KKyle, i would also recommend the amd64 version === MenZa is now known as MenZaxPhoenix [16:51] albertico, even with the intel chip? [16:51] KKyle: it's just called amd64 as some kind of homage to amd for being first with 64 bit consumer chip or something like that [16:51] KKyle: AMD64 is the generic name for 64 bit, just as i386 is generic for 32. [16:51] KKyle: it's designed for both intel and amd processors [16:51] slart, ah ok [16:52] KKyle, I have an Intel Core 2 Duo and I am using the amd64 version [16:52] o.O [16:52] I'm trying to switch from vista to ubuntu but I would prefer 32 bit <--- why would anyone 'prefer' 32 bit over 64 bit outside the realm of windows where 64bit is just humor-wear [16:52] ?? [16:53] KKyle, the amd part of the name comes because the company AMD is the one who designed the processor's instruction set... it's a sort of generic name for both processors... bottom line, it will run without problems on your intel chip [16:53] ReAn: there is a few 64 bit things that do not work as well such as Flash. 32 bit is therefore still preferable [16:53] i guess... [16:53] ReAn: somethings are easier for 32bit systems, and if you don't need the extra memory space/usage/whatever, I am not sure there is much use for it. [16:53] i wasn't able to get flash working on either 32 or 64 bit [16:54] rean, I didn't think it was compatible with many sofware systems [16:54] KKyle: It is. You won't have a problem with anything non-proprietary [16:54] ReAn, you mean the flash plugin? [16:54] Hi all. I'm running hardy on a 32-bit server and I'd like to be able to use more than 4GB of memory at a time. What's the best way to add hugemem to my kernel? [16:54] albertico: i meant flash in general, i can't get it running AT ALL on my ubuntu distro [16:54] flannel, okay I'm going to give it a try, I'll be back in an hour or so [16:55] sylvar: install the server kernel and you'll get PAE [16:55] great [16:55] gparted craps out complaining about /dev/hdb (which doesn't exist) [16:55] Flannel: thanks! I'm running 2.6.24-21-server right now, but postgres says that 9GB of shared buffers "overflows size_t". [16:55] ReAn, I watch downloaded swf files using VLC === MenZaxPhoenix is now known as MenZa_Aeris [16:56] it was more for web [16:57] in fact [16:57] lack of flash support was the final straw which brought me back to vista of all OS'es [16:57] ReAn, I have flash running on firefox with the flashplugin-nonfree and the nspluginwrapper packages [16:57] anyone around know the name of the package which show exit options in ubuntu? [16:58] ReAn, flashplugin-nonfree version 9.0.124.0ubuntu2 [16:59] ReAn, nspluginwrapper version 0.9.91.5-2ubuntu2 [16:59] Also, another question, just an afterthought. I was trying to install it on my desktop a few months ago and during installation to get to the live, random characters covered a border surrounding a message saying that x11 was messed up [17:00] sorry to repeat but I'm stumped, thinkpad iseries 1400 cmos reports 4645MB hardy install partitioner reports 4.9gb hangs at 33% of partitioning, thanks in advance [17:01] T_Davis, try the gparted live cd perhaps?

Help please. This is a brand new install, the only thing i've done so far is install envy for the nvidia card and hard code the mac addresses for the keyboard and mouse for the [17:14] bluetooth stack. [17:14] w0ls0n, go to a tty do sudo killall gdm , then install the driver [17:14] w0ls0n: are you sure it's frozen since how ubuntu boot scripts work the login prompt is actually higher then the local boot scripts I have found out [17:15] quick question, i was talking to someone about nvidia drivers yesterday, and they said there are actually 2: the binary ones and there are free ones (novou, or something like that) does anyone know the name of the free driver, or know how well it works compared to the binary ones? [17:15] w0ls0n: yes, local boot scripts take place after gdm [17:16] Question? php stop sending mail after i changed the computer name.. i modified the hosts file... is there anthing else i need to verify ?

[17:33] !final [17:33] If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Intrepid. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [17:34] Deiselton→ that totally depends on which webserver you are running. apache? lighttpd? === neowolf is now known as Freaks [17:34] Deiselton: what exactly do you want to cofigure? [17:34] zezu, sudo mount -a === Freaks is now known as Freaks_ [17:34] defrysk, that doesn't do it ;| [17:34] zezu, if that is what you mean [17:35] nope, a new partition isn't in the kernel yet, so i can't write a fs to it [17:35] NiMB, if you configured your provider parameters under the [Dialer defaults] section, then try the command without the hspda parameter: sudo wvdial [17:35] and i hate rebooting a million times [17:35] magnetron... i dont know which one im running how do i find out?... and gnuubuntu i need to configure it to run jnpl files with the java JRE so i can create java webstart apps [17:35] how can I boot /dev/sda1 from grub command line [17:35] I know i've done it before, but can't seem to recall how [17:35] paul68, you can also take a look at the djbdns project [17:36] mabus, root (hd0,0) then setup your kernel etc then boot [17:36] maybe a setup cmd too, try the man page [17:36] zeco: no, the kernl would be on sda1 [17:36] where hd0,0 does not point to that [17:36] hey people, I'm having trouble with my wireless since upgrading to Intrepid RC. Before the upgrade I had it working with ndiswrapper (broadcom) now the interface wlan0 is gone. No ideas on #ubuntu+1 yet [17:36] well then you need to figure out the ordering [17:36] albertico: thanks [17:37] Does anyone has syscp get working on ubuntu hardy? [17:37] grub just uses the drives in the order it enumerates them [17:37] hd0 - x [17:37] well I don [17:37] zeco, still ubuntu+1 is the place to be [17:37] t see anything other than hd0 when I hit h-tab [17:37] any one know how to get cups to start at boot? [17:37] hey there, by cpu dos'nt support vmx, can i use KVM anyway? [17:37] mabus .. then its hd0 [17:37] do you have any other drives ? [17:37] <_UsUrPeR__> dr_willis & slart: pertaining to the "places" menu, I am not able to remove a mounted CD ROM or mounted windows partition from the menu. It would be much easier for me to totally remove the menus in their entirety. [17:37] zezu: it is not hd0 [17:38] defrysk: only six days left ;) but perhaps someone has an idea independent of this being ibex [17:38] the drive grub booted off is hd0 [17:38] question, is there a nofloppy option in kernel options? my floppy is dead and no option to disable in bios [17:39] zezu: so what is preventing the other devices from being enumerated [17:40] mabus, no clue [17:40] I have a usb cdrom and a usb hdd that are both plugged in and work when booted, but not in grub [17:40] I have a broken install and no bootable media [17:40] gnuubuntu: any ideas? [17:41] I need some help with audio in Intrepid. Anyone able to give me a hand? [17:41] my bluetooth applet starts with system, how to turn off autorunning? [17:42] mabus: Is there anything in BIOS that prevents the USB stuff during bootup? [17:43] my bluetooth applet starts with system, how to turn off it from autostart? [17:43] erki: I dont believe so, I dont think it has direct support to boot off of it, like in the bios [17:43] but shouldnt grub be able toboot it if it's loaded off of the bootable ide? [17:43] how do i add my main user to the vboxusers group? [17:43] saxonjf: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid/8.10 support/discussion. [17:43] mabus: The boot sector might be fine even though the root partition is not. [17:43] hey all, I'm on a desktop without an fn key, is there an easy way to switch my video output to the s video [17:44] Pici, getting no help there [17:44] saxonjf: Be patient. [17:44] thanks for nothing, Pici [17:44] i have a couple of mp4 videos that I want to concatenate into one single video, what is the easiest tool available via the synaptic to do that? [17:45] erki: the root partition of my hd with an install is messed, but it can at least boot [17:45] to grub [17:45] andresmh: maybe mencoder has a frontend? [17:45] what I'm trying to do is boot off of my usb hdd === jsarrett is now known as Nedlinpopo [17:46] thanks ubuntu, i am looking for something with an easy UI, kind of like Windows Movie Maker [17:46] mabus: Yes, and USB is loaded by the kernel, which runs after GRUB. I'm fairly sure GRUB itself has no way to do USB stuff unless BIOS supports it. [17:46] andresj: have you looked at any of the NLEs? [17:46] andresmh: hmm not sure then [17:46] erki is correct. [17:47] poi [17:47] hey all, I'm on a desktop without an fn key, is there an easy way to switch my video output to the s video [17:47] jp [17:47] defrysk: yo still there [17:47] what flash drives are made with linux in mind? [17:47] oi loma [17:47] erki: doh, I think its because it's not on the motherboard usb [17:47] how to delete some procecess from autostart? [17:47] its in a pci card [17:48] droopsta915: .... all of them?? [17:48] :( [17:48] mabus: That might make a difference, but I still suspect you might need to change some BIOS settings. No harm in trying though. [17:48] kc8pxy_:I notice some say, with windows or vista in mind, does that matter? Will it work with linux?

I just installed ubuntu on a new computer I built, and I am having problems getting my sound to work. [17:54] xtian_: Any helpful error messages? [17:54] a few searches online, and I couldnt find anything of use. I have an onboard realtek ALC889A codec [17:55] xtian_: I have fallen for the easy "volume slider set to 0" trap in some installs. Have you checked that? [17:55] @erki where would I find error messages? I was just trying to watch something in kmplayer, it plays fine, but there is no sound [17:55] hi all. I monted a samba share, using smbfs... it works, i can copy, remove and create new files, etc.. but i can't edit files... other computers on networks can... any idea?

[18:52] i just updated my system to intrepid using update-manager -d, and now update-manager says bad things "not all updates can be install" [18:52] mongolai: yes, all other windows are fine. [18:52] anyone seen that? [18:52] csilk: yes [18:52] dewente, yes, of course it has an ip, that isn't the issue, the issue is you have no port open so connections outside of your LAN cannot be made [18:52] apw: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid support [18:52] !intrepid | apw [18:52] apw: 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 [18:52] mikric: yep [18:52] ok [18:52] csilk, great let me see that [18:52] csilk: i placed those files in a folder named download at my desktop what my cd address will be?

Hardy is the current LTS and will be so for a while. [18:55] I was trying to upgrade to 8.10 today, but on the list of packages it was going to remove was most of KDE4. That doesn't sound good, seeing as how I use KDE 4.1 as my desktop. [18:55] is there any way to disable the floppy from within ubuntu, I dont have the option to do so in bios [18:55] mongolai, ok, thanks [18:55] DarK`: Are you running regular Ubuntu or Ubuntu Mobile Edition (or netbook remix)? [18:55] anyone use enigmail? How do I get it to attach my signature.asc rather than send the sig inline? [18:55] T_Davis: just remove it from fstab?

I've right clicked the desktop, create launcher, Type=location, name= , Location = /home// and I've tried .. nautilus /home// and nothing seems to work. any suggestions?

[18:56] Hey does anyone know how to find my serial number for my motherboard [18:56] mongolai: thanks anyways :) [18:56] benanzo, RolfCoptr thanks [18:56] DarK`: is there a menu-bar, and just no title-bar (buttons, etc)? [18:56] Hey does anyone know how to find my serial number for my motherboard [18:56] randal: on the boot screen [18:56] Scunizi: type file:///home/yourusername [18:56] randal: Open the case up and search for it. The serial number should be unique for your motherboard. [18:56] Pirate_Hunter: here is the rub, on installation partitioning it hangs at 33% and lights the floppy light [18:56] there is a menubar, thereis a navigation bar, just no title-bar [18:56] i will come back later, thanks csilk ay^ :) [18:56] ok, so on a basic 100% minimal install of ubuntu, i want to install xorg & xfce, do i apt-get xorg ?? [18:56] randal: look at the motherboard, might be there [18:56] cyde are you sure you were using the kubuntu desktop upgrade option [18:56] DarK`: what version of FF is it? [18:56] I want Ubuntu 8.10 as much as the next guy, but I'm not going to trash my entire desktop environment to do so. [18:56] Cyde: well, aren't they being updated? [18:56] OK THANK [18:57] mariussss: thanks.. for someone coming into ubuntu cold this isn't intuitive..

[18:57] Scunizi: I know :) [18:57] crawford: I'm running Ubuntu though, not Kubuntu. I just pulled in the KDE4.1 packages from the repository. Should I be using a Kubuntu upgrade option? [18:57] T_Davis: disconnet the floppy cable from inside your pc, but if that is happening it could be a problem with the disk but i aint certain [18:57] the x display manager, you could use gdm or kdm [18:57] Cyde: 4.1 is probably not in the intrepid main, but probably in another repository, i don't run KDE so I don't know which one it's on. [18:57] geremy: hmm, nope. i cant figure it out. i did exactly what the manual said.. (im on mac osx host) [18:57] i want xfce, not gnome or kde [18:57] DarK`: Hmmm. Seems fine over here. Did it work prior to upgrading, or did you start with this version? [18:57] Cyde: yes, you probably should find kubuntu an easy switch. === aegis is now known as Guest24783 [18:57] so xdm is what i want?

I don't know if the router expects DHCP... but I know that it gives DHCP to the wireless devices [19:08] tttt33: umm why not ask the pkgsrc channel since Ubuntu doesn't even deal with pkgsrc [19:08] erki: no effect. i feel like nuking apache completely and reinstalling. [19:08] geremy, What in general? [19:08] mahrellon: I have a non-solution, install compiz-fusion-icon which makes it easier to turn of compiz :) [19:08] what can i do???' [19:08] kitche ok. i understood. thanks. [19:08] mariussss: set a static for the router, leave dhcp for clients [19:08] tttt33: pkgsrc...? isn't that a BSD package manager? [19:08] are the X11 development libraries installed in an ubuntu desktop? [19:09] blip-: That sucks. It seems really wierd, and sounds like it must be because something is stuck in a cache somewhere, but where? [19:09] erki: Thanks, but I've already tried that. I mean sure it's not a big deal but it's one of those small problems keeping me up at night lol [19:09] zimbres: no- servers without X are just called servers, or, if they don't have a monitor, headless [19:09] rga24|CS-50: the devel libraries are not usually installed by default [19:09] LjL: yes and no it's a linux package manager as well :) === _RandyboY is now known as RandyboY [19:09] The newest kernel version (2.6.27.7) of Ubuntu 8.10, crashed the "wl" driver for BCM4312??

[19:09] kitche: one of the several Extremely Bad Ideas to use on ubuntu, i'd assume [19:09] is there any good tutorial on how to setup sound card in ubuntu. I have a problem. When i play videos with my speakers pluged in the sound card it works fine. But for music and youtube, i have to switch to my integrated realtek sound card. And when i try to play videos with integrated sound card, there is no sound. Any ideas how to setup this? [19:09] rga24|CS-50: that really depends. What are you trying to do, exactly? [19:10] mahrellon: I hear you, I have a similar problem, all fullscreen apps instacrash in compiz on my comp :) [19:10] dewente: you have a couple of choices then, get a static ip from your provider or use something like dyndns [19:10] i'm trying to develop some stuff using clutter [19:10] mongolai: what implications? [19:10] chetnick: you might have some kind of conflict with pulseaudio... [19:10] T_Davis, like no-ip ? [19:10] erki: Oh I've been there m8. I had the same problem when I was on Ubuntu x86. Works like a charm in Ubuntu AMD64 though lol [19:10] so at the moment i'll i'm trying to do is get the autoconf script in clutter to complete [19:10] erki: actually yes i believe something is stuck in apache cache...i checked out the log files and when i access the site, the CSS fails to reference some image files which aren't there... this means it's still using the old CSS not my new one. anyway i've taken enough of your time. thank you for all the input :) [19:11] dewente: I find most routers nowadays use dyndns box stock [19:11] mongolai: do you know how to resolve that? where to look? [19:11] erki: Anyhow m8. I'll go see if I can make something good out of Window rules...Hope you have better luck with them fullscreen apps :) [19:11] geremy, Does my question "makes" sense? "What irc client could i use in batch mode" I mean, with no GUI. [19:11] T_Davis: I did setup a static IP in /etc/networking/interface (10.10.1.1), but I still can't access the Wireless router's web configuration page (which is 192.168.1.1) [19:11] zimbres: irssi [19:11] mahrellon: thanks :) === Guest24783 is now known as sachael [19:11] mariussss: your computer would be the default gateway for the WAP. if you ran wireshark or tcpdump you could sniff all the wireless traccis very easily ;) [19:11] erki: See ya later. :) [19:11] veronica === csilk_ is now known as csilk [19:11] *packets [19:11] blip-: np, sorry I couldn't be of any help.

I don't get it [19:12] chetnick: I'm not really sure. It sounds like you have 2 soundcards? [19:12] mariussss: you need to be on the same net, set your /etc/network/interfaces to 192.168.1.201 and try it [19:12] What's wrong with my sound configuration? [19:12] zimbres: you can join #irssi if you ever need help with it as well. [19:12] zimbres: for web-browser I use eliinks btw :) [19:12] Cernex: I have the same problem, only one app can play sound, whichever one started first. [19:12] A, I stuck with only one audio channel for random reasons? [19:12] zimbres: plus int he client /help will give you info. or /help [19:12] Cernex: I was just about to test something, w8 [19:12] mongolai: i have one HT omega striker, and i have the one that comes with motherboard.

[19:14] geremy, I just wanted to make sure i would ask it right. [19:14] Cernex: I switched everything in prefernces:sound:sounds from "auto" to "pulseaudio". That might or might not have been a good idea, but I can have more than one app playing sounds now ;) [19:14] is it possible to use ekiga to call msn users? [19:14] T_Davis, i have two. dynamic dns and dns server [19:15] NemesisD, I think I can help you [19:15] Hehehe ... I love FIOS. 20 minutes to download the 2129 updated packages in 8.10. [19:15] Fougner, ok cool [19:15] I'm amazed Ubuntu's servers can sustain this speed on the first day of release. [19:15] sudo vol_id -u /dev/sdXX [19:15] dewente: dynamic dns, but first go to dyndns.org and register a name, then port forward ftp to your static ip in your ubuntu box [19:15] NemesisD, PM? [19:15] there's a release? [19:15] Fougner, sure [19:16] j file pluche!! [19:16] then put in the proper info in dynamic dns and youre golden [19:16] how can i use ekiga to call msn messenger?

[19:19] so whenver you want to use a product you just sudo [19:20] erki, well, maybe changing the device from ALSA to Pulseaudio might do the trick? [19:20] clever [19:20] erki, or rebooting the system, even [19:20] so where is root and how do i get t oroot? [19:20] sambagirl: we use sudo to get root permissions for text-based applications -- those that are run from the terminal. If you wanted to use a GUI app, like gedit, you would use gksudo. [19:20] as root [19:20] Cernex: I didn't need to reboot, just changing to pulseaudio worked. [19:20] how would I script this: while ping host.com; if ping reply beep [19:20] anyone have a Dell Inspiron 530? [19:20] Cernex: Or maybe I did reboot.. Man, I'm getting senile...

[19:21] Cernex: pulseaudio all the way [19:21] sambagirl: correct. "sudo nano" starts nano as root. "gksudo gedit" starts gedit as root [19:21] hi. I just upgraded from hardy to ibex.

[20:23] why not? I'm familiar with it and it seems to work just as well [20:23] i think the restricted driver was being used before (the one in "hardware drivers" when the system actually worked, but its not there anymore [20:23] zezu: use ssh from console.

The front buttons raise and lower the volume indicator on the screen but it doesnt actually control my systems volume settings. I can control them through the volume utility though [20:47] neztiti: In the future, don't use ultamatix. And actually, you'll likely have to reinstall to upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu because of the damage its done (your upgrade may fail), so you'll want to have backups, etc. [20:47] Flannel: still the icon from games [20:47] neztiti: Right, you'll need to remove that manually. [20:48] Flannel: no remove here [20:48] neztiti: right click the applications menu, and you can edit the menu [20:48] how do you add Applets to AWN? [20:49] Flannel: done thank you man [20:50] mongolai: no dice [20:50] ok i will never use ultamatix :-X [20:50] xtian_: that's a major bummer :(( [20:50] how do I change the cursor theme in Gnome? I tried gcursor, but it didn't change anything, even after restarting X. [20:51] anyone know why i gotta constantly mount my slave hdd after every reboot? how can i make it so it automatically mounts on boot [20:51] xtian_: perhaps you should restate your problem so the fresh people here can give some more suggestions [20:51] how can I recieve emails sent to me@me.com ? not me@mail.me.com? mail.me.com runs mail server. me.com runs load balancing server. no mail server. [20:51] is it fstab [20:51] how do i make the mount happen at boot [20:51] Can anyone here kindly assist me in getting back into Gnome? After an installation of the Restricted Driver 177 on two Geforce 8500 Video Cards. I have been battling this problem for several days :( [20:51] Flannel: where is the directory of ultimatix downloads or archive?? [20:52] saml: you set an mx for me.com that points to mail.me.com and configure mail.me.com accordingly [20:52] My USB HDD doesn't auto mount sometimes [20:52] this is due to it's power saving feature I believe [20:52] saml: DNS has a specific record for handling mail, called MX [20:52] Decepticon: add an entry to /etc/fstab [20:52] dulak, do I also need to set MX for mail.me.com 10 mail.me.com ? [20:52] I unplug and then replug and it mounts [20:52] hokay [20:53] Decepticon: i think everything in fstab is automatically mounted. [20:53] saml: yes all your sub domains should have an MX pointing to a correct mail server, though smtp will default to the full subdomain if there is no MX [20:53] gotcha [20:53] why cant i find the "paste flipped" button in the action edit mode for animation? [20:53] WD mybook has power saving that I think causes this. Could be wrong however [20:53] saml: and don't point an MX at a CNAME, only an A [20:53] neztiti: I'm not really sure. [20:53] alph4d0g: is it a segate free agent drive ? [20:54] WD MyBook [20:54] Flannel: ok thank u m8 [20:54] there should be a util you can run in windows that disables its power saving [20:54] thats the issue probably i have it as well [20:54] does it mount automatically if you unplug it - then plug it in again? [20:54] dulak, maybe i should wait until DNS propagates === francesco is now known as Guest24579 [20:55] saml: Yes DNS will take time to propagate over the internet. [20:55] currently, I have me.com MX 10 mail.me.com [20:55] alph4d0g: if i wait a few seconds before replug yes .. if i do it fast then no [20:56] saml: in the future you can keep propogation time low on a record by setting ttl to a low number, for instance when I know I'm going to be changing thigns I will reduce ttl from 1 day to 1 hour at least a day in advance so when I do the change, it propogates faster [20:56] sounds similar to what my issue is. the drive goes into sleep mode when inactive. [20:56] never a problem until I reboot [20:56] gcursor isn't working. is there another way to change the cursor theme? [20:56] ugh .. what would cause IO errors writing to SD card ? [20:56] dulak, oh darn it's now 14400 [20:57] I am having an issue with the volume control on my laptop. The front buttons raise and lower the volume indicator on the screen but it doesnt actually control my systems volume settings. I can control them through the volume utility though [20:57] saml: yeah that's something to look at for future dns changes, not something you can change now [20:57] hi all [20:58] hi mike [20:58] After installing virtualbox-ose-modules-generic kernel: 2.6.24-21 I lose wifi and grfx driver, anyone know if this is a known issue, purge of the module didn't fix the problem [20:59] csillk: inside the vm or in the host?

Ive been using ubuntu for about 8 months now and its great and all but recently its giving me problems. This can happen several times a day: im in ubuntu 8.04 browsing the web, using an xp virtual machine or aking a voip phone call and the computer completely freezes. The mouse cursor cant be moved, the clock doesnt refreh the time, etc. and i have to manual reset the computer. Does anyone know what could cause this? Bad ram? Overheating? What should [21:01] I do? Thanks.. ps: I have another extremely annoying problem with ubuntu. Whenever I cllick switch users and the log in with another user, after a few minutes, the second user gets taken back to the login screen (the first user gets completely logged out when this happens) and when the second user logs back in there is an annoying noise that keeps repeating itself untill you log out. Also, many times, i think do to an error in nautilus or the screensaver, [21:01] lockin the screeen does not function properly, when you click on lock screen sometimes you just touch a key an it gets unlocked without typing the password. Additionally, I think due to a problem with Vmware workstation, I often cant use the shift or CTRL keys, or my shortcuts to switch desktop, or when i type something in terminal or firefox both programs close... Thanks in advance. Sorry for the long message [21:01] mongolai: i hope your shorts taste good [21:01] call it long [21:01] cdan: One problem at a time is best.

[21:02] mongolai: now perhaps you can help me with another problem, my sound is extremely faint, like i have to turn my speakers up all the way to hear the slightest sound [21:02] mongolai: and i checked all my volume levels [21:02] any idea about which package i need to install ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/62177/ [21:02] cdan: next time it freezes, try holding alt and sysrq, then slowly typing r e i s u b, and see if it restarts.

About the sound, I can't really help you, I don't have sound enabled on my computer right now for weird reasons, but look into issues particular to your computer and also look into "pulseaudio" [21:04] favro: there is a plugin for firefox that will play video in firefox using mplayer, I cannot remember the name though === Guest79326 is now known as Big [21:04] cdan: it usually shares a key with print screen [21:04] any reason why using Gnome would make the fan run like crazy?

[21:06] cleaned it out, and now works great, no high fan anymore! [21:06] Flannel, yeah thanks, i just wiki´d it. I saw it shares a key with print screen though my keyboard only has that particular key labeled with print screen. will try it though [21:07] kthef: cleaning would probably do my laptop good, but this only started happening today, so that can't be it. i'm using gnome instead of my usual kde. [21:07] When i used the RC and the real release come out must be upgrading ? [21:07] kthef: so i'm pretty sure it's gnome. i shut off desktop effects to see if that would help... [21:07] well, a difference in cpu load could do it, my box would run the fan high whenever I started firefox...hehehe [21:08] ++ [21:08] wouldn't hurt to shoot some compressed air into the cooling fins [21:08] favro: what package name did you install?

Vs Gibibytes (GiB), where gibibyte is defined as 1024*1024*1024 bytes [21:14] kthef: not much of a difference. [21:14] magnetron: Decepticon , the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer is somewhat notorious for giving erroneous readings.. [21:14] odd === quibbler_ is now known as quibbler [21:14] how many updates will ubuntu 8.10 have? [21:14] mongolai→ not really. [21:14] ive got 457GB+459GB+367GB=1283GB [21:14] maybe it is overloading your graphics processor [21:14] maybe a fan on the GPU? [21:14] !8.10 |curtis [21:14] curtis: 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 [21:15] kthef: i really have no idea... [21:15] Decepticon: however, in terminal, df -h, (or just df) will give you a pretty decent readout [21:15] magnetron: yes, really. It's showing that I have 146.6 gb out of an 80 gig drive. [21:15] kthef: i'm still hoping it isn't a problem with gnome, i think i like it more than kde. [21:15] what ver ubuntu? [21:15] Decepticon→ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive#Capacity_measurements [21:15] yo guys i just wanna say i think im liking ubuntu, so glad most of my things work out of the box (except a minor problem with my geforce fx 5200), even my wifi is working, and im going to install mythtv now and see if my pvr150 works alright too [21:15] 8.04, fully updated [21:16] anyone here running ununtu 7.04 with a GeForce 6200? I cannot seem to get the graphics to go above 800x600. Can someone give me a hand? [21:16] i was having a really hard time getting my geforce fx 5200 to work, so i just installed envyng-core with apt-get and let it do whatever... and my stuff now works [21:17] still at 156.2 F, 69 C [21:17] I have been running 8.04 for a while, no issues, running on lots of machines as a matter of fact, even a TP61 laptop right now...hehehe [21:17] Hi there [21:17] Sorry to jump in like that, but I really need help [21:17] does anyone know if there is something wrong with the repos? [21:17] !ask | gregory [21:17] gregory: 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. :-) [21:17] !ask | gregory [21:18] joshritger: what in particular? [21:18] favro: that is working perfectly for me, it goes to a buffering page, then plays the video in-line in firefox [21:18] Thank you [21:18] nothing seems to be working for me, I have hardy and nothing will load from the repos [21:18] dulak: I was worried it was a local issue... [21:18] kthef: i'm just going to turn it off for now, maybe try to clean it later. [21:19] joshritger: perhaps a bug in sources.list? [21:19] favro: do you see the buffering page? [21:19] haven't touched the sources list lately [21:19] You might look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=860830 [21:19] favro: this is the url I used to test: http://media.grc.com/files/ss_06_17_98.wmv [21:19] dulak: nope - it seems to try then gives up after 1sec [21:19] josh__, what do you mean "not working?" could you do a "sudo apt-get update" and post the output? [21:20] magnetron: I stand corrected. The issue that *I*'m having with the gnome-disk-usage-analyzer is with redundant additive readings between physical drives and gvfs-fuse. At least I have a more specific bug-report to file. Or not. but thanks for correcting me anyway :) [21:20] So, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04. And I'm a real noob at it, it's my first time. I tried to install my graphic card's drivers from nvidia.com, bue it didn't work. And now that I have "activated" the drivers integrated in Ubuntu, my second screen appears to be the first, and my first screen doesn not receive graphic information. [21:20] favro: you reloaded firefox after you installed the plugin right? [21:20] stormx2: when I would go to install an app using synaptic it would get to the downloading part and then give me an error saying that the download was not found [21:20] dulak: yep - been trying for a few days [21:20] mongolai→ i didn't know about that bug. have a good night. [21:20] josh__, even so, could you do as I asked? [21:21] Question: Sendmail is trying to send to 127.0.0.1 and messages stay in /var/mail .. is there anyways change this? thnx [21:21] stormx2: sure [21:21] magnetron: perhaps because it's a feature [21:21] dulak: have installed anything and everything that could be relevant [21:21] I think [21:21] is there is some channer that people can help me to "how to use Open Office" in spanish? [21:21] Gregory, download and install evny http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [21:21] envy [21:21] hehe [21:21] favro: do this: dpkg -l | grep codec and pastebin it for me [21:22] sudo apt-get install envy [21:22] ibex in 6 days \o/ [21:22] * xomp goes back to sleep [21:22] stormx2: E: Method gave invalid 400 URI Failure message [21:22] that is what I have used to install/configure nvidia drivers [21:22] joshritger: Could you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ? [21:22] kthef: ok, i'm going to do that. Thank you [21:23] after its installed here is the app to set it: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [21:23] stormx2: will do [21:23] then you can do a sudo nvidia-settings to setup the display [21:23] install envy first [21:23] xomp, o/ [21:23] dulak: http://pastebin.ca/1235933 [21:24] favro: hmmm, I dont' even have the w32codecs installed and it's working [21:24] dulak: I'm giving up for now - thnxs :) [21:25] favro: sorry I couldn't duplicate it [21:25] stormx2:http://paste.ubuntu.com/62186/ [21:25] kthef: ok I installed envy, and it tells me to launch it, and there's a script that asks me for installing things or restarting X server, and stuff [21:25] yep, that is fine [21:26] it goes out and does all the dl and installing === yvlasov_ is now known as yvlasov [21:26] oh [21:26] ok wait [21:26] joshritger: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list. Replace "us." with "" (i.e. nothing). Save. sudo apt-get update [21:27] wow, it detected my exact graphic card version and all [21:27] stormx2: use the main repos not the us? [21:27] gregory: You might have to reboot or do at least a ctrl+alt+ to reset [21:27] envy is one of those things that either works perfectly, or it doesn't work at all [21:27] Stormx2: is not gksudo suggested for GUI apps instead of regular sudo? [21:27] tells me: Do you want to restart your computer now (Recommended)? (y/n) \ "y" is the default answer [21:27] mongolai: yeah, or gksu, but it doesn't seem to matter with gedit [21:27] gregory: yes [21:28] thanks so much, brb [21:28] gregory: np [21:28] Stormx2: ahh. OK. perhaps it's more of a pedantic "best practices" kind of deal === alberto is now known as Guest20830 [21:29] mongolai, I find it rather shallow and pedantic.. mmmyes, shallow and pedantic :) [21:29] mongolai: maybe. I don't know === T_Davis is now known as Tom_Davis [21:30] stormx2: I get the same error after removing the US [21:30] xomp: (Offtopic once) that has to be the Simpsons -- the episode where Homer is a food critic [21:30] joshritger: Open up http://us.archive.ubuntu.com in your web browser. Does it work? [21:30] mongolai, close :P It was Family Guy :) [21:31] * mongolai has my bad... [21:31] stormx2: yes [21:31] kthef: it didn't work, i guess [21:31] joshritger: For the heck of it, use a different mirror. use ca. or uk. or something [21:32] what is the package for vim [21:32] stormx2: both ways with or without the us works in the browser [21:32] joshritger: What about downloading a package from inside the browser? [21:32] hmm, will try [21:32] I'd like to change my display to my other screen. Does it have anything to do with my CG drivers? [21:32] hey all [21:32] what is the package for vim [21:32] anyone use gtkpod?

[21:33] j0nr: nope :) [21:33] in windows there was a performance benefit of putting on separate hard drives: the operating system, the paging file, and the applications. Is that true in ubuntu? [21:33] Alright! [21:33] I'm running 8.10 beta, and my wifi died after the newest update. Can anyone help me out? [21:34] stormx2: not sure what to try to download, if you can give me a link I will try it [21:34] ay^: doh. cant figure out what they mean [21:34] TJ-42: unless you have a lack of RAM, no, not really per se... [21:34] j0nr: isn't there any help or something? I only used it to uppload songs on my wifes sisters ipod 3 times. [21:35] so the swap file in ubuntu isn't utilized all of the time like the windows page file (this seemed to be used even when not out of ram)? [21:35] Thank you so very much. It worked! [21:35] joshritger: Any package. You don't have to install it. [21:35] ok [21:35] gregory: cool! [21:35] TJ-42: there is some anecdotal evidence that having the swap partition on certain parts on the HDD, or even oh the outer edge of a second HDD can improve performance, but that has been antiquated by the prevalence of cheap RAM [21:36] kthef: is there any kinf of a list of these command lines for me to remember it? Or do I just have to write them down? [21:36] mongolai: OK thank you. [21:36] anyone know of any software for people looking to make guitar tabs of songs? a program that can identify notes and display them for easy tablature? [21:36] TJ-42: yea, it's easier to get more RAM (to a point) and just use that [21:36] you can go to a terminal window and type sudo nvid and then a couple of tab key hits and it will list all commands starting with nvid [21:37] gregory: otherwise, just commit to memory...hehehe [21:37] Ok. Thank you again. [21:37] np [21:37] anoyone have experience opening .arc files [21:37] I'm running 8.10 beta, and my wifi died after the newest update. Can anyone help me out?

[21:42] julian:Archive Manager [21:42] sudo aptitude [21:42] oops [21:42] Sonja: the kernel packages are linux-image-* [21:42] even file listing, async wont help that [21:42] I wanted to try to switch to ubuntu but I use Sprint Wireless Broadband for internet and can't find anything on if the usb evdo card or even the broadband service is supported [21:42] Sonja: you want to keep your most recent one, and probably one older known-good one.

[21:44] does it detect networks? [21:44] how can i mount a usb hd from cli? [21:44] shipwrecked: Ubuntu 8.10 is being released next week, and it provides support for those cards. In the meantime, you might ask in #ubuntu+1 if that particular card is supported, etc. [21:44] anyonme have any idea what you're supposed to do with samba to get it working initially [21:44] apadox: start by turning off encryption on your router, that makes troubleshooting a lot easier...when you get it connected without WEP, then go for the wep.

You probably need to re-size that [22:06] i reset that file size limit to 1GB [22:06] my files are 1GB or less [22:07] Decepticon: ...in addition to the codecs that kiopes suggested. Even with 1gb or less files, gnome might need some hand-holding [22:07] kthef: asdf [22:08] mongolai take a look at http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/9379/screenshot005yj2.png [22:08] i got these generic looking icons [22:08] Decepticon: just a sec [22:08] and look at my settings [22:09] ok ill just try something with codecs === AnimaSana[Flash] is now known as AnimaSana [22:09] Decepticon: looks good.

[22:10] those are on other hdds... so i guess theyre not external [22:10] even then, ive set it to always show [22:10] *internal [22:11] mongolai ok i got some previews... [22:11] guess it had to do with codecs... [22:11] but now i have another problem [22:11] question.... How do i format a 2nd hard drive i have installed? it will not let me access some files [22:12] Decepticon: what's the problem [22:12] How do I check recent logoff times? [22:12] anybody here has STATA program for Linux??? [22:12] mrrcp: don't format, just do a chown or chmod on them [22:12] the movies with generic icons, have those generic icons stuck now, and i cannot refresh them to get a thumbnail... unlike other dirs i havent dove into and looked at videos in nautlius at, they generate previews and do not give generic icons... i want to get rid of the geneeric for the files ive looked [22:12] well it was a partion i hard on another linux [22:13] mrrcp: so you don't care about the data? [22:13] debian setup that is... [22:13] nope [22:13] Decepticon, maybe they use a different codec that you don't have installed for gstreamer? [22:13] Decepticon: Did you give the browser window a chance to generate the thumb? [22:13] i just used the quick setup for ubuntu and it did not format that hard drive [22:13] mrrcp: ok, sudo mkfs /dev/harddrive_partition [22:13] maybe i have to reset nautilus? [22:13] How do I check the last time I logged out? [22:13] mrrcp: so if the drive/partition is hda1 I would do sudo mkfs /dev/hda1 [22:14] what benefits would a quad core cpu provide for a developer (web,network apps,database apps,etc ...) [22:14] alexi5: quad core has major benefits [22:15] hmm [22:15] Depends on how much shit you tend to run at the same time that likes to use CPU [22:15] how can i tell what the names are [22:15] alexi5: i can run the requires windoze xp + vs 2008 + outlook under vmware off a nother partition [22:15] alexi5: better testing of how good your apps scale... (and probably some compilation speedups, but those won't matter much unless you develop huge projects) [22:15] mrrcp: sudo fdisk -l that is a lower case L for list [22:15] alexi5: with no slowdown, plus as many apps and windows as I please [22:15] mrrcp: then try and decode which one is the right size [22:16] ok [22:16] how do I get that smallest possible ubuntu install for a virtual machine? I pretty much want a clean slate that I can use apt to expand from. [22:16] mrrcp: you will have to sudo umount /dev/hda1 first [22:16] hmm it didnt let me set a root user passwd at setup [22:16] Is there a way to check the last logout time> [22:16] ? [22:16] rycar: look into ubuntu Jeos [22:16] so if i use virtual machines to test apps at once in multiple virtual environments quad core is excellent for that ? [22:16] rycar: ubuntu jeos http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos [22:16] mrrcp: you in a live cd? [22:16] * snoop_ a [22:17] i used the cd off the site [22:17] mrrcp: ah, so your prompt starts with a #? [22:17] alexi5: yes quad core is good for multiple vms, but you start to run into i/o bandwidth unless you have a SCSI disk [22:17] thanks [22:17] ok [22:18] Hi, question. My laptop freezes at the bios splash screen, I have a dell and it just wont allow me to go to a boot menu or to bios setup or anything, its just frozen there. any ideas whats wrong? [22:18] mrrcp: did you install from the CD? or are you running a live CD? [22:18] Hello is there someone who can help me with a floppy that just wont work? [22:18] alexi5: if you are testing enterprise-scale apps, you'll also want 8G RAM... I'm finding that 4G doesn't quite handle major search engines and IBM stuff [22:18] im using gnome now logged in [22:18] mongolai i got it [22:18] mongolai i deleted ~/.thumbnails/ and now im getting fresh previews [22:19] hosed: if it's at the BIOS screen, then you need to take it up with the manufacturer [22:19] mrrcp: yes, but is it from a live cd that you booted from? or is it an install? [22:19] su - and my password doesnt work [22:19] install [22:19] i went in /boot and deleted a bunch of stuff i maybe wasn't supposed to, and now i can't boot into ubuntu anymore. is there any way to fix it from my windows drive? [22:19] mrrcp: try no password [22:19] hosed: id look at flashing the bios maybe ask in #hardware [22:19] Anyone know how to make sense of this Festivle TextToSpeech program? Here it is http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/download.html but its lots of little files that I dont know what to do with. [22:19] no worky [22:19] Sonja: try the livecd [22:19] Decepticon: cool beans. Do the previews work? [22:19] hosed: could be memory etc too [22:19] fdisk -l doesnt show anything [22:19] oh by previews i meant, thumbnails [22:19] mrrcp: it won't unless you are sudo [22:19] How do I check recent logouts on my computer? [22:19] you can do little preview windows with gnome?? [22:20] mrrcp: you should use the same password you use to login to your desktop [22:20] verdant: so far i have 4GB. are the phenoms that bad as the different site reviews say they are ? [22:20] thethirdmoose: `last` [22:20] Decepticon: Ahh, but do the previews work? Hover the mouse over the thumb for a little while [22:20] mongolai: any tips on getting festivle to work? [22:20] mrrcp: so if I log into my computer as joe with password asdf, then you do a sudo fdisk -l then use asdf for the su password [22:20] Anyone want to help someone new to Linux on how to get it to work in a parrallel? [22:20] pepperjack: So the second time is the logout? [22:20] alexi5: don't know about the phenoms, but the Intel Xeon's are pretty hardcore [22:20] zume: I never did get that to work... sorry :( [22:20] mongolai i dont think i have that gnome feature [22:21] verdant is there a function in livecd to repair the /boot drive ? [22:21] ok [22:21] thethirdmoose: should be both in and out yeah [22:21] Sonja: it may let you reinstall the kernel and grub, which will put back the /boot files.... [22:22] Decepticon: I swear that worked for me one time, but now It doesn't. Oh well, It really wasn't that neat anyway [22:22] hah [22:22] whats the disk analyser called? [22:22] mongolai: Lol why does Festivle exist if real people cant use it. :P Although, the site I got it from has a place to enter text, and it speaks the text online. It seems pretty good for free TTS. [22:22] disk usage analyzer [22:23] verdant and reinstalling the kernel and grub wouldn't damage my installed programs and /home if /boot is a separate partition? [22:23] zume: remember when I mentioned something about the state of TTS in linux being somewhat "behind" [22:23] Tell me... Is it ok, if I have Ubuntu installed right now on a drive, to install xp on another drive? Will the MBR be ok? [22:23] kthef i am online on ubuntu now .. over wireless .. :) thx [22:23] i cant find the disk analyser??? [22:24] mongolai: more behind than an elephants postior. gotta go for now.. [22:24] zume: this is a perfect example... I really wish these things just worked,,, [22:24] gregory: i think xp will overwrite the mbr of the master but not sure [22:24] apadox: Solid! [22:24] ahh got it [22:24] zume, take care for now [22:24] Hi, can someone tell me why there is no toshiba acpi driver in the intrepid kernel package? [22:24] csilk, disk analyser? sudo fdisk -l or gksu gparted or something else? [22:24] Anyone want to help someone new to Linux on how to get it to work in a parrallel? [22:24] gregory: id expect it to just overwrite mbr of the hd its installed to so prob ok i guess [22:24] kthef can I do something now to keep it this way without doing same thing every time :D [22:25] Sonja: no it would not damage. However, you need to mount your / partition under /mnt/root and chroot into it, then mount /boot, then you can "apt-get --reinstall install ... [22:25] Parallels Workstation, Ubuntu system,Error msg: ACPI: no DMI BIOS year, acpi=force is required to enable acpi [22:25] Sonja: or use aptitude to do the reinstalling of kernel and grub [22:25] Omikane, I found it, i was having a blind moment [22:25] hey everybody. i have a question about upgrading. i want to try intrepid but before this i want to make an complete image of my system. does anybody have a good how-to for creating such an image and restoring it (just in case i will need it) [22:26] verdant ahh [22:26] apadox: go into /etc/network/interfaces and copy the wired connection settings with that interface you need to have dhcp [22:26] apadox: sudo nano -w /etc/network/interfaces [22:26] i just installed ubuntu 8.10 and it seems so slow connecting to some stuff im trying an apt-get update and its taking more than 10 min to get threw the servers and i cant connect to xchat.org anyone else have that trouble ?

[22:27] ballzee_: maybe do a `dig google.com` then gksu /etc/resolv.conf and see if you have more than one nameserver if so try removing the one not shown in the dig or something. could be ipv6 i guess too [22:27] hello === rparish is now known as mrrcp [22:28] ballzee_: er gksu gedit /etc/resolv.conf i mean [22:28] Hello!

[22:48] sound fammiliar to anyone? [22:48] graingert: (transcend information, inc) this looks like the flash drive [22:48] droopsta915: ah ok [22:49] boswe: I just tried it with realplayer and it work fine for me, but then I'm also happy with vlc! [22:49] i will make a presentation about "Programming for Engineering using Free Softwares" [22:49] quibbler, it works fine but the quality isn't the same as if you are playing em on windows media player [22:49] i hope that my notebook working with th data show [22:49] n8tuser: im trying under safe graphics mode to boot [22:50] quibbler, I'm asking if there's a way to achieve the same quality as on windows [22:50] Pulpie_-> okay [22:50] i installed 8.04, im impressed, good stuff, have a laptop with a mobility hd2600, drivers fine, 3d, everythin works. except my laptop is burning hot, cpu is at 60c on idle (t7100 C2C), which doesnt happen in xp or vista, tried undervolting, didnt solve anything, im frustrated, i was convinced i was finally going to use linux( use BSD for servers) and i feel like im forced to go back to windows for desktop usage. Anyone has had [22:50] how make mi ip public for webserver [22:50] boswe: I have no idea, I haven't tried with windows. [22:50] droopsta915: unplug it and insert it again when you are looking at the logs [22:51] davidnog: what company makes your laptop? [22:51] graingert: toshiba [22:51] quibbler, ok =[ [22:51] davidnog: have a look at frequency scaling applet? [22:51] is aynone running ubunto on PPC? i checked http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download it says PPC not supported for latest version [22:51] dewente, you need to tell apache.conf to listen on an open port [22:52] graingert: you mean the lsusb logs? [22:52] csilk. how ? [22:52] graingert: i tried running it always on lowest freq, bios option, still high temps [22:52] when i run cpuburn [22:52] on both procs [22:52] temp goes up to 95c [22:52] davidnog: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:52] What was the command to see loaded kernel modules and the location of blacklist file [22:52] droopsta915: no system->administration->sytem logs [22:52] n8tuser: this fails to. [22:53] davidnog: what are the windows temperatures? [22:53] Pulpie_-> which laptop and video card do yo have? [22:53] davidnog: don't use the bios undervolting; use speedstep [22:53] it wasnt to undervolt [22:53] dewente, first you need to log into your router and forward a port (each router is different) then you need to find your paache conf file, usuly in etc/apache2 and set the por listen field to whatever port you just forwarded in your router [22:53] i did the tutorial on iundervolting ofr hardy on the foruns [22:53] *apache [22:54] how can i re-set the keyboard layout i have? [22:54] i managed to lower the voltages [22:54] *port [22:54] but still high temps [22:54] for some reason ubuntu is having issues typing " or ' keys [22:54] it's driving me nuts and making programming a royal pain [22:54] csilk. should be 80 [22:54] anyone else having display resolution issues with the latest hardy patch. cant get anything better than 640 on nvidia drivers or 800 on vesa if i set the monitor res manually it like a big zoom window i can move if i hit the edge of the screen [22:54] i used the bios option to keep the proc at lowest frequency always [22:54] davidnog: have you installed the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.22.2 applet? [22:54] nope [22:54] does anyone know what will speed up processors to almost 100% when they're doing very little work? [22:54] dewente, I wouldnt use 80, but you can use that if you want [22:54] davidnog: right click on the panel and add it, please [22:55] you mean the think that indicates [22:55] ok [22:55] my processors are constantly working hard lately [22:55] what is the clock speed? [22:55] yeah i have that [22:55] dewente, if you do use 80, you need to set port forwarding on port 80 on your router [22:55] davidnog: yes, and uses speedstep editing [22:55] csilk, could you get in http://dewente.homeunix.com/ ? [22:55] constantly near 100% [22:55] davidnog: what menu do you get when you click on it? [22:55] Is there any BIG differences between Ubuntu and Debian? [22:55] 1 sec let me check [22:56] davidnog: left click [22:56] just a regular preferences help about remove from panel thing [22:56] x|e: yes, debian is more used for servers, ubuntu is more used for desktop-pc, debian has stable software (old) and ubuntu has newer (unstable) software [22:56] left click doesnt do anything [22:56] dewente, no, have you got the port forwarded? [22:57] csilk, yes [22:57] davidnog: are you sure? [22:57] dewente, whats your ip address [22:57] <_paneb> is there a complete gtk download manager? one that can accept links from firefox (i tried the downthemall addon, but i've had a few problems with it) [22:57] dewente, and what port you using? [22:57] 80 [22:57] graingert: http://paste.ubuntu.com/62211/ [22:57] yes [22:57] davidnog: what temperatures do you get on windows? [22:57] graingert: thats what happens when i plug in the drive [22:57] dewente, whats your ip address [22:57] DIFH-iceroot, ya i use debian's unstable. but i was wondering if ubuntu would be better as i really only use it as a desktop system... and if there were any advantages i would gain [22:57] how do I make my laptop automatically sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda when it comes out of suspend? [22:58] 50-60 [22:58] max 65 [22:58] can anyone tell me what would make processors constantly run near 100% in ubuntu? [22:58] csilk, the router ip address is http://72.66.94.115/ [22:58] when pushing it [22:58] MothOnLovesFlame: run htop in a console and find out [22:58] _paneb: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows4.html i know it says windows, but a few are cross platform and might meet your needs? [22:58] right now i have 0% cpu usage on ubuntu and has been like that for an hour and its at 62c [22:58] dewente, so your webserver address is http://72.66.94.115:80 [22:58] when i push it it goes up to 95c [22:58] droopsta915: try mounting /dev/sg4 [22:58] marcc whats htop in a console [22:58] which is obviously not good [22:59] MothOnLovesFlame: do you have a little "black monitor" icon with a ">" in it on your top panel? [22:59] csilk, can you get in ? [22:59] mongolai: you there? [22:59] dewente, no [22:59] oh ok [22:59] dewente, can i port scan you to see if that port is open? [22:59] MothOnLovesFlame: or go to Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal [22:59] yes [22:59] davidnog: can you type my name before each message in irc, it makes it easier to read for me (highlights it) [22:59] graingert: sorry about that [22:59] MothOnLovesFlame: at the terminal, type "sudo apt-get install htop" [23:00] MothOnLovesFlame: after it installs, type "htop" and press enter. [23:00] MothOnLovesFlame: this will show you which application is using all the CPU percentage and allow you to close it if you like [23:00] davidnog: what is the linux temp vs the windows temp? [23:00] f [23:00] dewente, port 80 isn't open it's filtered [23:01] let me see [23:01] Okay... very weird issue here and so far the forums are no help. I have noticed recently that at random intervals, my sound output (which works perfectly normally) suddenly massively jumps in volume to the point that it causes near-total distortion of the audio stream. [23:01] marcc its not an application, its slow on startup too [23:01] graingert: win 50-65 , linux 62-95 [23:01] dewente, nmap output > 80/tcp filtered http [23:01] Anyone heard of this happening and possibly how to fix it [23:01] ? [23:01] not to mention [23:01] MothOnLovesFlame: fine, you'll still be able to diagnose the problem, most likely [23:01] graingert: my fan is also always on, like 100% [23:01] graingert: on linux that is [23:01] and its slow in windows [23:01] davidnog: ok speedstep is obviosly failing; have you installed the latest bios for your laptop? [23:01] and ive done 4 clean installs [23:01] graingert: sorry to bug so much, whats the mount command === neko_ is now known as dsfargeg [23:02] droopsta915: I can't quite remember it exactly [23:02] droopsta915, mount [23:02] graingert: the thing is, the bios setting that makes the clock always run at minimum didnt work either, temp as still high, the clock was always at 800mhz i checked, when dyanmic it goes up to 1.8g [23:02] droopsta915, for details about it, type man mount [23:02] hm. does anyone know of a substitute for idl? [23:02] graingert, lol [23:03] albertico: he needs the specific command to mount /dev/sg4 [23:03] i found one using the forums, but it didn't install properly. [23:03] davidnog: does the panel applet complain about not having speedstep [23:03] davidnog: (when it loads) [23:04] graingert: nope [23:04] graingert, jeje [23:04] when I "Suspend" from a live cd it doesn't unsuspend properly (black screen or text and keyboard is unresponsive). Any solution? [23:05] hmm ok davidnog right click on the applet and click about [23:05] graingert: but i dont think that speedstep is the problem, speedstep seems to be working fine, and as i said before when i set the proc to be always at lowest frequency possible, and it was, the temp was still high [23:05] just gives me a window [23:05] davidnog: well, maybe windows lies, or linux gets the temp wrong [23:05] lol windows does not lie [23:05] for two reasons [23:05] is gnash as good as flash? i get the annoying grey box error from time to time in firefox [23:05] davidnog: feels high temp? [23:05] 1. the actual laptop is not nearly as hot, it can be on my lap [23:06] Sonja: no [23:06] graingert: and number 2. the fan, on linux its always at 100% [23:06] graingert: on windows it only comes on when im abusing it [23:06] Sonja: generally no, though it depends on your principles [23:06] davidnog: I would definetly recomend a bios upgrade; I had similar problems with mine till I did [23:07] davidnog: seems un-related but... [23:07] hi, my computer screen is blurry after sleep using hardy. how can i fix it? [23:08] huy_: ?? [23:08] graingert: ill give it a try [23:08] huy_: more detail please...

[23:11] reportingsjr: I mean, the system considers you a sudoer? [23:11] oh, um, how do you mean? [23:12] Linux experts: How do I kill a parent process AND it's children. I am using, "pgrep -f | xargs pkill -P" ... but for reasons beyond the scope of this discussion, I need a command that works without piping [23:12] reportingsjr: just a sec [23:12] would you like to see cat /etc/hosts?

[23:42] favro: how am I supposed to edit /etc/hosts? [23:42] dulak, I dont want to do it through a remote session [23:43] hi. can anyone tell me how to quit compiz? i'm running it stand-alone without gnome, so there's no panel and i don't find a way to assign a key or something in ccsm. [23:43] reportingsjr: just cat or vi it [23:43] reportingsjr: gksu gedit /etc/hosts [23:43] tc everybody [23:43] Shout1, VMware is a virtual machine on which you can run windows in a window on Ubuntu [23:43] Shout1: it's not remote, it's a virtual machine that runs in a window or even fullscreen [23:43] favro: he can't do su or sudo, that's the problem [23:43] frensh site about how to install virtualbox on real win [23:44] k hehe [23:44] http://toutenbordel.free.fr/dotclear/index.php?post/2007/12/26/VirtualBox [23:44] favro: well, maybe su.. haven't tried that yer [23:44] Hey everyone.. Here is a bit of advice from user DaSkreech..I edited it a bit: Add/remove is a way to simply get popular packages. Many packages are not going to be there. Synaptic is inclusive, so try it when Add/Remove lets you down. [23:44] favro: no, /no/ administrative things work [23:44] Mechdave: so everything is native? [23:44] mongolai: I tried nano, and that didn't work.. [23:44] what program do u use to share with windows [23:44] Shout1: virtualbox is easier to use than vmware, but on a newer cpu vmware performs better [23:44] I want to install a Web Proxy on my hardy herron web server to be used as a circumventor, any program recommendations? [23:44] reportingsjr: time to reboot into recovery and use nano to edit the file [23:44] vmware server is NOT hard to setup. It's VERY easy. [23:44] even on ubu [23:44] dulak: im running a pentium m [23:45] virtualbox is very fastest than vmware [23:45] favro: bbl then :( [23:45] reportingsjr: I think favro has the best ideas here [23:45] but vmware is more powerful [23:45] luck [23:45] :) [23:45] EXSi is better but then no host OS :-D [23:45] bzou: that's not true on a core duo cpu, virtualbox does not support vx virtualization extensions [23:45] i have an accountant that i need to share my quickbooks company data file with who lives in texas. i run ubuntu hardy (linux) and run windows XP through a virtualbox VM. question: is there a way that i can set up a fileshare on my linux box so that (1) my accountant (who's using windows xp from a remote location) can access it whenever she wants it? and (2) it can be accessed from within the virtual machine instance of windows xp? [23:45] bzou: vmware will smoke virtualbox on a core duo [23:46] yes, that why i sais that vmware is more powerful [23:46] what program do u use to share with windows? [23:46] :) [23:46] Anyone have a good method to capture images from a webcam in a jpeg, png, or gif format? [23:46] I'm using xmodmap to remap the control/command keys on an apple keyboard. This seemed to work ok in kubuntu, but today I installed ubuntu and it's not working the same. Here is the contents of the xmodmap file: http://pastebin.com/d5840e117 [23:46] bzou if you're looking for a much better solution EXSI rocks on my Core 2 Duo but theres no host OS. EXSi is loaded directly on the hard drive [23:46] How do I restart the sound system if based on pulseaudio? [23:47] thanks [23:47] i have a look now [23:47] can i get help from somone ho instaled linux as 2nd OS please PM me if you can help.. [23:47] command is working, but not Command+V or any other Command+keys [23:47] kansan: so you want some way to have your colleague to access your file on a virtual computer? [23:47] Shout1: virtualbox is gonna be all you need really, it's easy to get going compared to vmware [23:48] wow, a bad dimm does bad things to the installer :) I'm happy now [23:48] can i get help from somone ho instaled linux as 2nd OS please PM me if you can help.. [23:48] mongolai, i want the file to live on the ubuntu machine i run 24/7 ... not the VM (since it only runs when i need to look at finanicals) [23:48] wolson, please, give me a link :) [23:49] can i get help from somone ho instaled linux as 2nd OS please PM me if you can help.. [23:49] whats the command to see a list of my hardware specs [23:49] sudo lshw [23:49] slack :see to hal [23:49] Hello everyone [23:49] kansan: OK, so your colleague only needs access to that particular file then? No kind of remote desktop or whatnot? [23:49] anybody have experience w/ mapping keys on an apple keyboard? [23:50] mongolai, exactly [23:50] sounds like a job for samba [23:50] http://pastebin.com/d5840e117 Trying to get the command key to work in place of the control key [23:50] bzou: ?? [23:51] kansan: there are a few ways: ssh which is like telnet but more secure, sftp which is like regular FTP but more secure, and this is what I'd use... [23:51] mongolai, what do you think of samba? [23:51] slack : ui ? [23:51] bzou: gnome [23:51] I got distracted [23:51] slack :ui, bien sur ! [23:52] Hello All [23:52] ich ben nast suliner? [23:52] can you guys see this? [23:52] Im trying to install e17 amd am getting an error [23:52] Where can I paste the error [23:52] Slack: sudo lshw will tell about your system [23:52] I can see it [23:52] what error? [23:52] favro: mongolai: thanks! it's all good now :) [23:52] !pastebin [23:52] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [23:52] ok thanks [23:52] slack : sorry. yes !! [23:52] my new flash drive wasnt detected, so i logged into my xp machine, it installed the drive, logged back in into linux and badda beem! it works. [23:52] Tom_Davis: Where can I paste the error [23:52] kansan: samba is ok, and I'd certainly use it on a LAN, but I'm not really convinced of it's security over the internet. It is possible to "tunnel" samba through SSH, but I'm not really sure how [23:52] reportin1sjr: happy for you [23:52] favro: ty [23:52] :) [23:52] bye [23:52] liquid see above [23:52] pastebin it [23:52] Tom_Davis: it says imlib2 error [23:53] i installed an nvidia driver for a kernel that i didnt have: 2.6.24-21-386, and im pretty sure synaptic installed the kernel. I have since uninstalled the nvidia driver, but the kernel still exists. How do i remove the kernel? [23:53] !imlib2 [23:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about imlib2 [23:53] is there a way I can write the 8.10 iso onto a dvd? [23:53] anybody listen anything about #LinuxCrackers ? [23:53] go0tta pee. brb [23:53] mongolai, i worry how savvy my accountant is ; and if shed be able to use ssh [23:54] kansan: doubtful [23:54] Tom_Davis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/62244/ [23:54] anyone know how to remove a kernel? [23:54] :) [23:54] kansan: is your networking for the vm bridged or routed? [23:54] that's not me :) [23:54] kansan: regardless, she'd have to use ssh, or have you set up some fance http server... ssh is really not that hard... [23:54] my family :) [23:54] well, apt-get install -d works, but how can I do to download to an specific directory? [23:54] liquid have you apt-get updated lately? [23:55] kansan: ssh is easy to do from windows with putty [23:55] Tom_Davis: Today like 5 minutes ago [23:55] and upgrade [23:55] hello ubuntu freaks...... i am new on irc.... where can i find the german xubuntu-channel here on freenode? [23:55] dulak, im using vbox how do i figure that out? network panel shows cable connected and its attached to NAT === mike is now known as BigMike [23:55] Tom_Davis: I dont know about the upgrade, how would I do t hat [23:55] *that [23:55] kansan: nat is routed [23:55] hi all === sqwert is now known as iris [23:55] hi, everytime i open applications (openarena, zattoo player, elisa media center) and compiz is enabled, the screen starts to flicker and this annoys me :) [23:55] liquid sudo apt-get upgrade [23:55] dulak, what is the difference? [23:55] slack ? [23:55] ??? is there anyway to change the background of dolphin from its white color? [23:55] bzou: worked [23:56] Tom_Davis: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [23:56] kansan: ok, you can do it like this, you put the quickbooks file on your linux file system, create a samba share that only the virtual machine can access, you point quickbooks to that share in the virtual machine [23:56] liquid: it appears to be making a call that is not in your version of imlib2 [23:56] !de > Chickengeorge [23:56] Chickengeorge, please see my private message [23:56] Tom_Davis: How do I check to see if I have imlib2 [23:56] what difference did you make between gnome and kde (xfce is not the same) ? [23:57] liquid: sudo apt-get install imlib2* [23:57] kansan: then you can have the accountant get a program called winscp, which will allow her to download and upload the file using ssh, without having to be too saavy [23:57] Tom_Davis: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [23:57] dulak, that sounds great [23:58] kansan: she can get the file, change it, re upload it, you can access it from the vm, 24/7 [23:58] slack : many years that i don't touch to irc, so, bring to private :) [23:58] hello, does anyone know if there's a way to reverse the touch pad? I like scrolling on the left side.... [23:58] Tom_Davis: Why do you think im getting that error === lawl- is now known as Hamsun [23:58] hi all [23:58] bye bye [23:58] Hello D3JAVU [23:59] how can i creeyt iso disk with terminal and load it [23:59] kansan: bridged would stick the vm network card and your linux box network card together to make one virtual network card, nat means the vm has a virtual network card that talks to your real network card for access [23:59] ah ok [23:59] liquid: either not installed libimlib2 or corrupt libimlib2 [23:59] man, codedrunk this download is taking forever.. [23:59] kansan: in a bridged situation the samba share would be a lot harder to get working right [23:59] dulak, you are very helpful [23:59] My eeepc's NIC (wired) is not having it's drivers installed. In the hardware testing app it tells me I have a "Attansic Technology Corp. Unknown device 1026(rev b0)". Any Idea where I can get drivers for my nic? [23:59] and i know its not my download / or upload [23:59] D3JAVU: Do you already have the .iso file? or do you want to generate one? [23:59] dulak, i have to run; any gotchas to watch out for? things to keep in mind? [23:59] dulak, resources ;p? [23:59] i wont create iso dvd of ubuntu 8.4
