[00:00] Rovin: but your speakers work? [00:00] cannot find package, is there any way to list installed packages? [00:00] Is there any way to align the icons on a GNOME desktop to the right instead of the left? [00:00] SuperATP: what do you want to remove? [00:00] realvnc server [00:00] SuperATP: if you type the first few letters then hit tab [00:00] Uplink: this is a laptop, they work yes,but I want to disable them and only make sound from headphones [00:00] ghindo, drag them? [00:00] SuperATP: try synaptics :) [00:00] anyone know of a way to change the screensaver from the linux terminal?? [00:00] unop: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/62637/ [00:01] everytime i load up the screensaver change window it freezes [00:01] thanks :) [00:01] trece8: Is there any way for GNOME to do that automatically? [00:01] don't know, ghindo [00:01] Has anyone been running with linux-rt with a 1680x1050 screen resolution? [00:01] (I can't) [00:01] Rovin: type this on terminal "alsamixer" [00:01] how do i change vmware to run ubuntu at fullscreen? now it is just this small window which is really annoying. cant really use it if it is like this [00:01] unop: I'm not doubting you, but your information conflicts with mine, and you didn't say you checked [00:02] philippe, http://pastebin.com/m2853cc46 [00:02] philsf, ^^ [00:02] Uplink: done that, there is a graphic display [00:02] can ubuntu run on a comptuer with no ram? [00:02] Hi guys. Can anyone tell me if there is a logfile of who has connected to my computer via remote desktop? [00:02] Curtis: No [00:02] Curtis, nothing can run with no ram [00:02] Rovin: look around... mess with the settings [00:03] what about 512? [00:03] Curtis: Yep [00:03] it is ram [00:03] unop: so, your last bookmark was in april? [00:03] it works [00:03] cyberjackal, I am trying to run gpg --send-keys but it fails, what do I have to copy from the output of gpg --list-keys ? [00:03] whoa, that's weird [00:03] philsf, could possibly be, yea [00:03] Uplink: I will :) [00:03] lol what about 256? [00:03] Rovin: good luck [00:04] Rovin: you might wanna try gnome-alsamixer [00:04] sorry to interrupt. is this a good place to get help with WPC300N Linksys setup and my keyboard has issues with a few keys [00:04] unop: I recommend you checking this further, to be sure, at least until mozilla releases weave to the great public [00:04] Curtis: Theoretically it would. I wouldn't try it though. [00:04] Curtis: yes, the GUI stuff needs at minimum 64MB: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [00:04] Uplink: thanks [00:04] Rovin: np [00:04] flannel its sey !This program cannot be run in DOS mode. [00:05] also my first name is Curtis [00:05] Curtis: A server requires 'at least' 32MB, but thats an artificial limitation, mostly for the installer. You can convince debian installer to install on 8MB. [00:05] I was a bit confused when everyone was answering to Curtis [00:05] Rutty: is that a question or two? [00:05] AboSamoor: when you run gpg --list-keys, find your key and the line that says 'uid'. you can use your name or email from that line, with quotes if it contains a space [00:05] itès two. i canèt even use my apostrophe key [00:06] Rutty: try pushing it twice. [00:06] Rutty: try pushing it, and then space [00:06] Rutty: You have a keyboard configured to use deadkeys. Change that and you'll be fine. [00:06] AboSamoor: or you can use the letters/numbers on the 'pub' line following the key size (i.e., 1024D/xxxxxxxx, using the x's as the key-id) [00:06] hello, anybody having issues with taskbar with dual monitor in ubuntu 8.10 ? [00:07] Rutty, Flannel: in my setup (latin1), pushing apostrophe twice yields a different character than apostrophe (acute sign) [00:07] How can I make ubuntu start in text/command line mode only at each system start (I think it's called runlevel 2)? [00:08] photon: Ubuntu (like debian) doesn't use runlevels (they're all the same), what you'll want to do is stop GDM from starting at boot. [00:08] !bum | photon [00:08] photon: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [00:08] Hey guys. I had remote desktop enabled with password access, but I just looked up and the icon said 2 people were connected. Kind of panicked and quickly disabled remote desktop but now want to make sure it was a glitch and not someone having cracked my password. Is there a logfile? [00:08] photon, init 3 === rabbit_ is now known as RabbiTork [00:08] Flannel: Thanks for the hint and the links. [00:08] ive tried changing the keyboard setup under system. but itès not working [00:08] ajhtiredwolf: thanks, I'll try that [00:08] cyberjackal, I got this message gpg: no keyserver known (use option --keyserver) gpg: keyserver send failed: bad URI [00:09] AboSamoor: you have to specify the keyserver to send your keys to with the --keyserver option [00:11] hmm, the USB stick installation instructions say to rename the isolinux directory to syslinux, and inside that, isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg [00:12] hello, anybody having issues with taskbar with dual monitor in ubuntu 8.10 ? it does not work very good on 2 monitors [00:12] AboSamoor: for example, gpg --send-keys --keyserver hkp://sub-keys.pgp.net [00:12] !ask 8.01 [00:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask 8.01 [00:12] !ask 8.10 [00:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask 8.10 [00:12] but the mini CD doesn't have that much, it has isolinux.bin and isolinux.cfg, both on the root [00:12] Good evening folks! Q: I am trying to use skype under linux so I log less and less back to my windows xp. Today for the first time I tried it and the only problem that I have got with it is that the other side did not hear me even though the video was ok. I tried to play with sound/audio both in skype and in ubuntu but none of changes I made worked. Where should I look for a solution? Thanks [00:12] should I just rename those to syslinux.bin and syslinux.cfg and see what happens? [00:12] sweet [00:13] When I configure my fstab to mount / as read only, is it guaranteed that neither the kernel, nor drivers, nor any other software can write to the device that / is on (unless *I* explicitly remount / as read/write)? [00:13] photon: Yes. [00:13] Can I move /tmp into my /home partition and how do I do it? /tmp is currently in / but I don't have enough free space to run aptoncd. I have 33gigs free in /home. [00:13] K_Dallas: Have you tried using your mike with another application to test if it's working like Applications > Sound and Video > Sound Recorder ? [00:13] But I don't think your system would boot like that. [00:14] K_Dallas, please check my pm [00:14] Jordan_U, i try that, It works under windows so the mic is ok. let me see if I find the sound recorder [00:14] hey, I still have the normal install ISO. I'll just use that. [00:14] Curtis, I don't like pms, sorry [00:14] Save myself a lot of headaches in the end. [00:14] curtmack: why would it not boot? [00:14] K_Dallas, i know how to fix it but whatever [00:14] K_Dallas, then dont get married [00:15] has anyone here had ubuntu running on the eeepc [00:15] lol [00:15] lmao [00:15] Neo-Omega, only if i knew it beforehand :):):) [00:15] Smegzor: You can simply create a directory for temporary files on your /home and make a symlink to it at /tmp [00:15] thanks [00:16] Neodemi, http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/ [00:16] Curtis, people help each other here in the chan so others could benefit and you really dont need my skype ID to help me, do you? [00:16] quick question: how would I ftp an entire directory from an ubuntu ftp server to an ubuntu client? [00:16] K Dallas [00:16] photon: I'm not 100% sure, but I think some of the daemons that run when starting up require write access. [00:16] Neodemi: Do you know about http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/ ? [00:16] I am connected by ftp and logged in but dont know the command to get it, get * aint doing it [00:16] curtmack: then how does a livecd work ? [00:16] You can try it though, the worst that could happen is you'd have to use a boot disc to fix it [00:16] (just curious) [00:16] hey anyone here automount network dirves with samnba? Minei s working fine the only problem is it is mounting before the network starts so it hangs [00:16] ive seen that site already [00:16] seronis: Good point. [00:17] i was wondering if anyones had it going? [00:17] is there any way to mount a (ext3) hard drive without permission-stuff (like ownershot and read-write permissions) [00:17] in fstab, ofcourse [00:17] Vinconzo, do you mean give it read write permissions to everyone or no one? [00:18] Tom_Davis: you can use ncftp, or maybe wget for that [00:18] I tried wget but it just looked at me funny, perhaps wrong syntax [00:18] Tom_Davis: I think the default ftp client that comes installed is lftp, ut I never used it. I live ncftp very much [00:18] cyberjackal, Thanks very much. [00:18] gftp is good [00:19] Tom_Davis: it includes a command ncftpget that's non-interactive, useful for scripting, at'in, and cron'ing [00:19] AboSamoor: np, glad it worked [00:19] Hey guys. I had remote desktop enabled with password access, but I just looked up and the icon said 2 people were connected. Kind of panicked and quickly disabled remote desktop but now want to make sure it was a glitch and not someone having cracked my password. Is there a logfile that displays the ip and time of connections? [00:19] cyberjackal, I don't know what is the server supposed to be and this page completed the task https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/ImportingYourPGPKey [00:20] ajhtiredwolf: to everyone [00:20] m1dn1ght, that can happen if you login more than once without logging out [00:20] can someone help me with wireless [00:20] its not connecting [00:20] Vinconzo, chmod 777 [00:20] i have signal , drivers , wep key [00:20] the applet just keeps circling and then just asks for the key again [00:20] ajhtiredwolf: that's what I suspect's happened, but would really love to confirm that with a log if one exists :) [00:20] question: i've installed and used boost in WinXP with visual studio and mingw, current installing on ubuntu 8.04 for first time. Is there any debian repository link on the site that im missing? [00:20] in synaptic i can find the 1.34.1 dev package but not 1.36.x, and i see no linux repository links on the website, just the .7z [00:20] m1dn1ght, i believe that it is in var/log/auth === mandy is now known as cube [00:21] m1dn1ght, check in there [00:21] hey guys, I'm trying to mount a virtually dead ntfs partition in ubuntu, but having no joy (it doesn't mount in windows either), anyone have any suggestions on how to get any files off? [00:21] i tried that, but everytime i locally make a directory in the shared directory, i can't edit (eg. add/remove files/dirs in it) from smb [00:22] JediMaster, sounds like it is dead. [00:22] Jakob_the_liar: make sure you are using the correct type of wep key (passphrase vs hex) [00:22] JediMaster: there are companies that do that, but they charge stupid amounts [00:22] ajhtiredwolf: pretty much, getting I/O errors [00:22] but if it's worth it, then yes, you can get the files off of a dead drive. [00:23] curtmack: yeah I know, just trying to see if I can get something off it for a friend, but I may just low-level format if it's completely dead [00:23] JediMaster, I would recommend taking it into a pcclub if you have one, they have helped me get info off dead drives before [00:23] JediMaster, or just spin it with your hand? :p [00:23] lol [00:23] ajhtiredwolf: thanks. just had a look in auth.log but nothing for vnc unfortunately...shows ssh and sudo though [00:24] JediMaster: run fdisk on it and see if it can print off the partition table (or if it will even run) [00:24] i.e. fdisk /dev/hda [00:24] m1dn1ght, hmm you might want to googel where the vnc logs are then i dont remember sorry :p [00:24] <|tom|> is there a way to pull up the info on my hardware (type of processor etc)? [00:24] What's a good text-based client that is like Finch ? [00:24] Curtis: yes, it can read it [00:25] ajhtiredwolf: no worries. google's not helping but I'll persevere. Thanks for the help [00:25] hey guy do you know of a program that uses the soundcard as a frequency generator? [00:25] so chances are the filesystem is corrupt... [00:25] m1dn1ght, course man my pleasure ;) [00:25] install wine as default to run older apps and then move on to a truly secure system. [00:26] sorry, wrong window, I meant to say that in #windows [00:27] Quick question, i'm looking for a nice GUI hardware monitor, which has things like memory used, cpu used, etc etc. anyone know a nice one? === alberto is now known as Guest18533 [00:28] Since the drive itself still works, you might be able to hunt for data directly. But that would be time consuming, and I'm not sure it's entirely straightforward on NTFS. [00:28] Especially if the disk is fragmented. [00:28] does anyone have anything valid about my problem [00:28] what would be the full 'wget' command to mirror a site(subdirectory of a site) and all it's files? [00:28] curtmack: that's what I assumed [00:29] all right them [00:29] Zodiax: menu System>administration>system monitor [00:29] even when i try to connect to wireless networks with no key it just keeps spinning and doesnt connect [00:29] may I ask a question [00:29] hey [00:29] dna_, wget -r -nh http://example.com/subdir # but have a look at the wget manpage and read the section about mirroring [00:29] Hey, can someone explain to me what the -wholename flag does on the find command? [00:29] !ask | Georgeinmexico [00:29] Georgeinmexico: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:29] Hi, I checked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi to config my Dlink DWA-542 network adaptor, but got message when issuing command: wlanconfig ath0:avahi create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta [00:30] ok, thanks [00:30] how do I network install ubuntu minimal CD?

[00:32] :-D [00:32] Yes [00:32] But I think I'm close to a solution [00:32] Jakob_the_liar: I want to use a tftp server to netboot and install on my old P2 300 Mhz laptop but I need the minimal disc [00:32] msaul: can you repeat your question all in one post?

[00:33] eth0 is there because I'm hard wired temporarily, but trying to connect to wireless [00:34] sneak, quietly [00:34] THE_GFR|WORK: you can customize what gets installed with that [00:34] Jakob_the_liar: gentoo? run!, run and never look back! [00:34] unop: ahhh, the path flag is deprecated. '-path See Wholename' [00:34] unop: good one :) [00:34] when is the offical release date for 8.10? [00:34] biggerfisch: 30 [00:34] Trick with ur treats [00:34] msaul, ok so you see the option eth0 there but when you click on it it doenst connect? [00:34] you use gentoo JabberWalkie ?

[00:39] dna_, you could do something like that - but you would make the portable USB device quite unportable - there are no major filesystems to date which support that - and for good reason [00:39] where is apache [00:39] boy, your laziness may well indeed be FINAL [00:39] Marchiq what are you looking for?

[00:44] dna_, think about it, if you used an encrypted filesystem on the disk and lost access to it somehow, you need the means to be able to use it again - i.e. format it, etc [00:44] yeah, watch those gd hands fly, u knowin [00:44] trece8: does it come with firefox installed and does it work with pcmcia cards?

[00:54] it's an internal harddrive [00:55] Georgeinmexico: sorry - mount -av [00:55] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ mount -av [00:55] mount: only root can do that [00:55] I'm running the os off a usb [00:55] what the free space command again?

[00:55] Georgeinmexico: sudo mount -av [00:55] scientus, df [00:56] I sudoed gconf-editor to put my home folder and computer on the desktop... anyone wager to guess why they're not showing after I did this? [00:56] http://agert.homelinux.org/blog/index.php/Linux_Atheros_AR_5008 [00:56] scientus, think of it in mnemonic terms df = disk free [00:56] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -av [00:56] mount: tmpfs already mounted on /tmp [00:56] nothing was mounted [00:56] gconf-editor > apps> nautilus > desktop > home_folder_visible checked [00:57] Georgeinmexico: so you don't have an fstab entry for it - sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb2 if that is the one that is not mounted [00:58] The one I would like to mount is one of the sda's [00:58] sda3 [00:58] CaptainMorgan, running gconf-editor under sudo sets gconf-editor to run as the superuser, so any modifications you make in it affect root's gconf not the user's [00:58] unop: ok, I think I got what it does - you mind answering a question about how it works? http://paste.ubuntu.com/62655/ [00:59] unop, ! [00:59] sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 [00:59] CaptainMorgan, so, why are you using sudo anyway? [00:59] Georgeinmexico: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 [00:59] everytime I login I have to reset the "Location" in my clock/calendar applet in my laptop, but the same doesn't occur in my desktop. How can I fix that? I tried deleting .gnome* and .gconf* and starting fresh, but it didn't work [00:59] Anybody? [01:00] unop, I assumed sudo would be necessary... thank you. all better. [01:00] cheers [01:00] That did something, but still no file browsing http://paste.ubuntu.com/62656/ [01:01] bbeecher, the second one should be find . -wholename "./test/test.txt" # if you ask why, because find is operating on a directory named . - so all files it finds are prefixed with ./ as contrasted with find /home/blah in which all files are prefixed with /home/blah/ - so you have to bear in mind what -wholename matches, it's the full and entire filename, including path [01:01] Georgeinmexico: my bad - sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /media/disk [01:02] unop: that makes perfect sense! thanks! [01:02] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /media/disk [01:02] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda3 is already mounted on /media/disk [01:02] bbeecher, to make the distinction clearer, simply run and compare these commands. find /home/blah and find ./ [01:02] how do I rename a file in command line? [01:02] Openvirus, mv, rename, etc [01:03] Georgeinmexico: try sudo umount -v /dev/sda3 then sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /media/disk [01:03] Openvirus, basically, mv old_filename new_filename [01:03] can i turn off the ext3 log while the system is running? [01:03] ok kol thanks unop [01:03] need help installing a persistence of vision installation shell script. [01:03] <_2> scientus the journal ? [01:03] yes [01:04] unop: ah, that does make it clearer. Ok - I got it now, thanks again! [01:04] <_2> scientus you need to mount it as ext2 -o remount might work. [01:04] Hurray!!! [01:04] can i do that on a root partition? [01:04] Georgeinmexico: well done :) [01:04] scientus, yes, but _it is not_ advised and you should umount the filesystem before doing it - for the sake of keeping the data safe [01:04] thank you [01:04] hello. quick question: when I upgrade from 8.04->8.10, will I lose any of my GNOME settings, or any settings in general? [01:04] <_2> scientus test it. i've never tried to disable a journal after boot time [01:04] well there was importand data lost [01:04] but the system cant go down right now [01:05] and im trying to save the journal data for a recovery [01:05] with ext3grep [01:05] Now, on a related note, I think I accidentally formated my primary partition while I was installing ubuntu 8.10 on the usb [01:05] can you tell me how to mount the sda1 partition [01:05] running an installation shell script? Need help. [01:06] enki, the idea is that you shouldn't - the upgrade should ideally be smooth-sailing -- but there's always a possibility that you may be surprised, things will stop working because a newer version of the program no longer support what you want, has bugs, was not installed well, etc - always backup important data/settings before an upgrade [01:06] when i try to run an install binary, it extracts properly and then complains it can't find the files it extracted (in /tmp), anyone know why this might happen ? [01:06] <_2> scientus oh no. you want to simply kill it and boot a live CD to recover data from the more you play with mount and other things the less chance you have of saving anything. [01:06] Georgeinmexico: sudo mkdir -v /media/sda1 then sudo umount -v /dev/sda1 then sudo mount -v /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 [01:06] i fixed it [01:07] nternal error: No mount object for mounted volume [01:07] I did a stupid thing upgrading to the intrepid beta version , anyone know if I can downgrade ? [01:07] i know but this is a critical server [01:07] I think it's been labeled ubuntu8 [01:07] it holds the pos for a 24-hour restraunt [01:07] but when I open it it says internal error: No mount object for mounted volume [01:07] i needed to change the default login to gnome to fix it [01:07] unop: I did back up my home dir and /etc (figuring most of the config files would be in there so if I had to reset them I could easily). I'm running the update program right now, and it kind of freaked me out when it said it was removing 40 apps, installing 200 and upgrading like 1200. [01:07] !downgrade | complexity [01:07] complexity: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [01:07] i had to do select session [01:08] i dont know why it's upgrading some of them, since they are all up to date [01:08] unop, my system is already horked [01:08] Georgeinmexico: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 === rparish is now known as mrrcp [01:08] i manually configured mine to do the upgrade [01:08] enki, hmm, it depends on how you are upgrading - but yea, some packages might have to be removed since they may be in conflict with other new ones [01:08] Is it possible to make a bash file and have it edit a text document and save it? [01:08] i didn't know if it uninstalls GNOME and reinstalls the newer version if that will wipe out all my configuration settings, or will it leave them. [01:09] looks like that did it, thanks sooo much [01:09] now if I could only go back and unformat that partition [01:09] <_2> enki "leave them" [01:09] ok thanks so much favro, [01:09] complexity, there is no easy way to downgrade - but i'll give you a clue "apt pinning" [01:09] if anyone could help me with this atheros card i would gladly listen [01:09] Georgeinmexico: np [01:09] attentively [01:09] well, the ones it was removing seemed to be mostly GTK stuff, and things that would be replaced. but it removed the lame libraries, and a few other things that didnt make sense [01:10] sugi, you mean a bash script? [01:10] dranyam, what atheros card? [01:11] AR50088 [01:11] er [01:11] In firefox i can view videos (youtube) but i cannot hear the music...any1 have this problem?? [01:11] <_2> sugi "sed" [01:11] AR5008 [01:11] enki, how exactly did you set off the upgrade process? [01:11] unop: ok cool. thanks for your help. oh, one other thing, when 8.10 goes public, I assume I will have to upgrade again, right? will it be as complex, or just what has changed since RC. [01:11] unop: yea, sorry. can i make a bash file edit a text document and save it. [01:11] <_2> sugi "sed" [01:11] the way it said on the website to upgrade [01:11] _2, i am sorry. i don't understand this refer [01:12] i have a connection [01:12] update-manager -d [01:12] but [01:12] sugi, there are a multitude of ways - depending on what you want changing, where you want changing, etc .. but as sugi said, sed it probably best [01:12] Hey guys. I had remote desktop enabled with password access, but I just looked up and the icon said 2 people were connected. Kind of panicked and quickly disabled remote desktop but now want to make sure it was a glitch and not someone having cracked my password. Is there a logfile that displays the ip and time of connections? [01:12] its twice as strong in windows [01:12] as it is in ubuntu [01:12] <_2> sugi short answer to your Q is "yes. use sed to do the editing" you don't have to use sed of course but that's kind of what it's for. [01:12] unop: is sed a probably or a command? [01:12] enki, no, once 8.10 is released, all you do is make sure apt is updated and upgraded and then you are on the official release [01:13] sugi, sed is a command, yes [01:13] unop: ah ok, cool. update-manager -d was the proper way though right? [01:13] dranyam, what laptop you have? [01:13] enki, errm, probably - though i've never done it that way [01:14] enki, meaning, i am inclined to agreeing [01:14] enki:that's how i upgraded [01:14] oh. when I did that it popped up telling me that there was a newer version, click here to upgrade, etc. [01:14] <_2> sugi if you don't want to use sed maybe "perl" [01:14] how do you do it otherwise? manually? [01:14] unop, _2, so sed /home/sugi/Desktop/test\ document [01:14] Then input the information here. (do i have to type anything to make it save?) [01:14] I can watch youtube videos but cannot hear any sound from them....maybe reinstall flash player or idk...any suggestions??

[01:15] oh, good to know =] [01:15] sugi, no, I suggest you read a sed howto/tutorial [01:16] mini pci-e [01:16] <_2> sugi sed is intended to be non-interactive if you explain a little more clearly what you are trying to do the answers might be a little more clear to you.

[01:19] <_2> sugi if all you need to do is reset one file simple make a wrapper that will run your program then copy a backup copy of the config to the the config name. no editing needed. [01:19] Georgeinmexico: sudo mkdir /media/sdb2 then sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb2 /media/sdb2 [01:19] prince_jammys: i don't know, but oh kay.... thanks for the information though [01:19] ugh man i really dont wanna go back to windows [01:19] <_2> sugi example: cp blah blah.backup ;wine command args ;cp blah.backup blah [01:20] dranyam, what's the problem ? [01:20] so i have a drive on a seperate machine that is automatically mmounted when the system starts, this is a probblem because the network needs to be mounted befoe the network drive is, kno wa way i can do this? what is a script that woul be mounted afte the network s oi can put it in there? [01:20] _2, i don't know what you mean by wrapper, but you just gave me an idea. [01:20] _2, that's my idea :D [01:20] my atheros card seems to be twice as strong in windows as it is in ubuntu [01:20] sugi: yes, that sounds more reasonable, if you just want the file restored to how it was [01:21] dranyam, there should be someone here with better knowledge of power management ,,, thats where you need to look [01:21] is there a command I can type into xchat to get me connected to the efnet server?

[01:22] thats why ive been asking for hellp [01:22] dranyam, ah wait oyu asked me abotu that didnt you hah [01:22] <_2> sugi if the change to the file is only one line or one string sed would still work well, example: wine command args ;sed -i 's=new string=old replacement string=g' config.file [01:22] for the past 30 mins [01:22] and no on seemed to want to help [01:22] dranyam, sorry im on allot of pain pills for surgery and cant concentrate to well haha [01:23] <_2> sugi issue sounds like path. [01:23] dranyam, yeah, i know what you mean, i have a pci card with same issue, its a power management issue, the card is not allocated the right amt of power [01:23] and i didnt want to spam [01:23] dranyam, first thing you need to know what the name of the wireless car iss [01:23] <_2> sugi use full path even if it's in your $HOME # you can use that variable btw.

So i just copied it and called it test. [01:44] sugi, that will give you a step by step breakdown of what the script is doing [01:44] D3RGPS31, so how did you manage to write to it from windows then? [01:44] <_2> D3RGPS31 only how you can have files there and expect to retreve them. but hey, i don't use swap. [01:44] unop, doesn't bash files usually have terminal outputs? [01:45] <_2> sugi bash scripting lesson one. use "set -x" for debugging [01:45] sugi, no, not unless needed [01:45] csilk, i just did; _2 there's not way to get them from linux?

[01:46] *files [01:46] everytime I login I have to reset the "Location" in my clock/calendar applet in my laptop, but the same doesn't occur in my desktop. How can I fix that?

[01:46] D3RGPS31, and no, I'm pretty sure you can access the swap partition in the manner you would like to from linux (or any OS as far as I am aware) -_- [01:46] kri, if you don't know your interface's name, just omit it and use iwlist scan and it will show all results [01:46] csilk, suggest you run a Linux OS from the cd and have the file you want to write to swap on a flash drive.

[02:01] I'm quite new to Ubuntu, and I'm wondering if someone could help me with some wireless drivers [02:01] logan_ drivers? [02:01] can how you do system links work with directory like it does with files ? [02:02] yes tarelerulzl [02:02] tarelerulz1, ln -s [02:03] using terminal services, is there a way to get out of full screen to switch back to my local computer? [02:03] try alt+enter [02:03] not sure [02:03] m0u5e move your mouse to the top of the screen and see if it pops up the little border [02:03] kitty_: alright ill try that [02:04] yeah that [02:04] yes, i'm trying to crack my own network's WEP code but for some reason my computer keeps freezing at the last step. i can find all info about the AP, begin logging packets, do a false authorization, and start sniffing for ARP packets to inject them, but as soon as I detect an ARP packet my computer freezes and the caps lock starts flashing. i'm using the ipwraw driver so maybe thats it? ive heard other people having success with it though. [02:04] caps lock flashing I think means kernal panic [02:04] ufff [02:04] panic [02:04] m0u5e: try F11? [02:05] Logan: try this distro Backtrack [02:05] Logan: is a live CD specially for security networking etc [02:05] I'm looking to get a book on linux, are there any must-have ones I should look at first? [02:05] elm1: no it doesnt work, im currently using "enable window manager's" key bindings... [02:06] i have heard of backtrack, so i can simply put it on a cd and boot that way? [02:06] Okay, I found an old drive from a Windows NT 4 machine (I think) and it appears to be formatted with FAT16 with 64k clusters. It's rather nonstandard and I was wondering whether the Linux FAT(32) drivers had support for at least reading it [02:06] m0u5e: *shrug* Alt-tab? [02:06] m0u5e: Alt+Super+tab? [02:06] elm1: no, i just alt tab like it does in windows... (i'm connecting to a windows box) [02:07] how do I get pulseaudio to run with a negative nice level? [02:07] logan_, yeah [02:07] logan_, yup [02:07] m0u5e: in which case no idea. Sorry. [02:07] logan_, which wireless card do you have? [02:08] logan_, just see it as a livecd with loads of tools [02:08] If I have a folder with several videos, is there a way to automatically create a picture for every video consisting of a few screenshots? [02:08] albertico: I have intel 3945abg [02:08] logan_, that chipset does not support injection [02:09] Can I rename my Desktop folder inside the home directory to _desktop easily? [02:09] Any ideas why I get bumped in to initramfs when I enable my IDE drives? [02:09] i have been looking into that, and there have been open source drivers made for it which support injection. i have done tests and the card will inject, it will simply freeze after a few seconds [02:10] logan_, really, what drivers are you using? [02:11] and that BackTrack liveCD, does it contain an aircrack-ng suite or a WEP cracking suite like it? [02:11] albertico: i am running ipwraw. i also know that iwl3945 supports injection but i dont yet have the Ubuntu knowledge to install it [02:11] logan_, yeap, aircrack and many other tools [02:12] logan_, but I am not sure if Backtrack is going to suit you using that wireless card [02:13] Hi everyone [02:13] logan_, BT has everything you will ever need for wireless cracking, it seems to be build for mostly that. [02:13] I would like someone to help step me through installing the android SDK--- it's in a zip format located here: http://code.google.com/android/download_list.html [02:13] albertico: it's preloaded with drivers, right? [02:13] logan_: are you sure that you use ipwraw? the default module is iwl3945, i have that card [02:14] logan_, patched madwifi drivers [02:14] ubuntu-ru [02:14] Szaln_: i removed iwl3945 and installed ipwraw [02:14] logan_, it will work nice with atheros chipsets [02:14] logan_: and how it performs in normal connections? [02:14] logan_, and ralink if I am not wrong [02:15] whois: fen` [02:15] _2, are you still there? [02:16] for wep cracking i like atheros pcmcias, but alfa is poooowerful [02:16] Szaln_: it is a monitor mode driver only. i have to unload it and reload iwl3945 to use normal internet. the new patched iwl3945 can use both managed and monitor modes, but i still havent figured out how to install it [02:16] hey guys It seems that when I enable my IDE drives my ubuntu doesnt boot.. any ideas whats happening??

[02:19] logan_: have a look here: http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=iwl3945 [02:19] I want to allow someone to access an unprivileged account via SSH without having to use a password, and they aren't the techy type, they use a Mac.

In theory it can be done without rebooting, but the user needs knowledge then. It's often easier for tje user to just reboot [02:21] When I minimize things they don't go to any panel.

[02:36] Joeseph: google this, and go to the second link: 'ubuntu apt-get build-essential insert cd' [02:36] yeah thats fine [02:37] Kattollikisd: maybe you can try sudo apt-get install -f for force dependencies [02:37] tell me when you're at the grub root, we're gonna look for files using the cat command :P [02:37] kitty_, im in the command line [02:37] Joeseph, check your sources.list and try removing anything that looks that it's searching the cd [02:37] Joeseph-> or you can just use sudo apt-get install build-essential [02:37] ok, type in "cat (hd0,0)\" but don't hit enter, hit tab and see what it says [02:37] how can I find out the name of my wifi chipset? [02:37] Joeseph: there's also several other links with people who seem to have the same problem [02:38] b33r: That's a good idea, I'll try that. [02:38] tab is the "auto complete" trigger [02:38] that's what's suggested in the link i recommended [02:38] so it should give you a listing of files on that disk, if its not your linux filesystem, try hd1,0 and 2,0... [02:39] anybody could help me with this error? http://dpaste.com/86766/, i'm on a macbook.

[02:40] Guiri what type of share is it? [02:40] Joeseph: cool. [02:41] Joeseph, glad it worked [02:41] kitty_: Just a 500 GB drive of storage space that I want to add to a small server in a different State as a local drive. Both servers have fast connections so it shouldn't be too much of a problem [02:41] Joeseph: i suspected that from the beginning, but when you said apt-get doesn't ask that for other packages, i changed my mind. [02:41] kitty_, when I type root(hd0,0) cat then hit tab it tells me unrecognized devide string === pipegeek_ is now known as pipegeek [02:41] i don't know why it's only with build-essential [02:42] prince_jammys: Yeah, I guess the ones I was referring to were not on the cd. === danopia_ is now known as danopia [02:44] now onto the android developer's kit install...

[02:46] yay greed, that looks like your linux system yes? [02:46] hello, i had ubuntu 8.04 installed for quite a while now. I had to install windows for some school programs, so i decided to make use of some free hd space andmake a dual boot. however the windows install failed and brought back hd errors. then i booted back into ubuntu, was listening to some music, when rhythmbox crash. i tried to kill gdm, but that didnt work. so i rebooted, and when i logged in graphically again, it was pretty much frozen, and nothing [02:46] works... [02:46] Hey Rich [02:46] kitty_, I guess? thats the exact message I got :P [02:46] hey mike [02:47] Has anyone running 8.04 noticed updates to bind9-host, cpp-4.2, dsuntils, and/or gcc-4.2 recently? [02:47] any ideas anyone, i removed eveything out of my home folder, yet that username still freezes [02:47] It's amazing how things work out when you follow the official online guide. [02:47] ted_ Windows kind of likes to be installed first. [02:47] cat /boot/[tab] and see if you have your images there [02:47] Usually with a dual boot you install Windoze then install Ubuntu. [02:47] so it wrecked my user isaac_ ? [02:47] right [02:47] i figured i could still install windows on the front of the partition, then just redo the boot loader [02:48] mike use ubuntu, it doesn't bite [02:48] xD [02:48] why is pa killing how do i kill pulseaudio? [02:48] I use ubuntu on my desktop at times [02:48] any idea why that specific user would have massive processor usage on boot? [02:48] on your eee pc? === justin_ is now known as Twingy [02:48] ted_ if it were me I'd boot from the CD, save all files I want, then wipe out everything, reinstall Windoze, then reinstall Ubuntu. [02:48] kitty_, possible files are a bunch of files that look like kernel files [02:48] n8tuser: Is it possible to automount the sshfs at boot using the user/pass credentials? [02:48] But that's just me. [02:48] RichDevX - nope [02:48] I use ubuntu on my laptops [02:49] ted_, it shouldn't wreck anything maybe you have hard drive problems [02:49] Why [02:49] isaac_, i booted frm cd, copied my entire home folder over [02:49] faster [02:49] ok, try "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash" [02:49] see what it says [02:49] Guiri-> sudo sh -c "echo 'fuse' >> /etc/modules" [02:49] b33r, i ran the fsck hd checking thing, it reported no errors [02:49] kitty_, cat before that? [02:50] oh and also, when i went into text mode, it reported a similar hd error that windows reported, which made me connect the two and think it is a hd problem.. [02:50] nope you'll want it to load your kernel image [02:50] Guiri-> thats just to load fuse at boot, now to automount at boot..you can too, but i have to think of the command for now [02:50] a couple of questions. i want to get a S-ATA controller card as my old mobo for my NAS doesn't have any S-ATA ports. problem is, no PCI-E ports either - is it even worth it to get a PCI S-ATA controller card? second question would be which is the best card for hardware RAID :D [02:50] kitty_, ahh thats a load command okay let me try [02:50] ted_, the only thing that can happen if you install xp after ubuntu that it might remove your grub [02:50] Okay, does anybody have any experience getting the Ubuntu installer to boot off of a USB drive? [02:50] b33r, right, that is what i assumed... [02:50] ted_, it _will_ remove grub. unless you have a separate hdd that you're installing windows to. [02:50] greed if you look at your own pastebin post, you can look over your boot commands [02:50] :P [02:51] so my ubuntu processor errors on boot, were due to something else other than a harddrive error that windows encountered? [02:51] I followed the instructions and it doesn't work, the BIOS just skips over it. [02:51] Hi all [02:51] Guiri-> and entry on your /etc/fstab like [hostname/IP]:/path/to/folder /local/folder fuse defaults 0 0 [02:51] is there any options I can select from the liveCD so that I can install ubuntu without running it? Such as "Install with driver update CD" or "OEM install (for manufacturers)" ?? [02:51] I was wondering about drivers for a Sharp HDTV; can I ask the general question here or is there a better channel? [02:52] i am just trying to figure out now what was causing the processor to be 100% on boot, even after i removed everything from my home folder [02:52] kitty_, it says linux-bzimage, setup=0x2a00 size=0x1ce278 [02:52] ted_, top didn't give you any info? [02:52] ok, [02:52] type in "boot" and see what it says [02:52] top? [02:52] oh right, no [02:52] n8tuser: I don't need to enter any credentials? [02:53] ted_, command line tool that shows cpu utilization of processes [02:53] curtmack: seen this? - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [02:53] i ran that from the text interface, but nothing [02:53] oh if you want a list of commands, just hit tab at the prompt with nothing there and it'll show a list, help also works [02:53] kitty_, kernal panic - noy syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root FS on unknown wn-block(104,1) [02:53] ted_, nothing? [02:53] then, i login to gui, it all goes crazy, i cant get back into text environment [02:53] @perilux: what do you mean "without running it"? [02:53] is that normally what happens? [02:53] OB [02:53] favro: Those are precisely the instructions I followed [02:53] k [02:54] i guess i can go try to relogin to the bad user using text environment one more time [02:54] brb then arrrghhh [02:54] kitty_, nope also says please append a correct root= boot option [02:54] so anyone have a line on drivers for Sharp HDTVs? [02:54] try rebooting and just using your menu entries and tell me what happens [02:54] with your extra ide drives enabled that is [02:54] kitty_, ok [02:54] * Saivindis wonders when OpenGeu will be compiled s.t. the i386 version runs on actual P-III hardware (otherwise, why? It thinks EPIA should have NX instructions?) [02:55] My BIOS recognizes the iriver during start-up, and I have it set to boot there first [02:55] kitty_, it goes to the loading screen and then goes to a busybox/initramfs Scunizi [02:55] and it still goes to my main HDD. [02:55] *screen [02:55] is that a shell ? [02:55] type in ls [02:55] so something didn't work out right when I was using syslinux. [02:56] Guiri->try and see if it prompts you, if it does, look into libpam-ssh [02:56] arrrghhh, nothing from top [02:56] kitty_, I get a initramfs prompt and when I type ls I get some sort of file system [02:56] kitty_, what command was it to see the disks? [02:56] nifty is it your linux file system? [02:56] k thx [02:56] ted_, nothing? i usually have at least 90 things in top haha. [02:56] fdisk -l [02:56] and df [02:56] Hello [02:56] i don't see how you can have _nothing_ [02:56] well, i meant, nothing totally destroying the cpu [02:56] 1 percent usage at max [02:56] kitty_, damn those dont work in this prompt [02:57] try mount [02:57] well that doesn't make sense. how can you say something is pegging the cpu when something obviously isn't? [02:57] well [02:57] it is pegging the cpu when i login graphically [02:57] kitty_, I think the ide drives are messing up something with the device paths or something [02:57] curtmare you doing it from windows? [02:57] ok then lets switch around our drive letters [02:57] and by the time i login graphically, i cant open the process analyzing tool because its at 100 percent processor usage haha [02:57] reboot, and hit the edit key in grub [02:57] It's possible that I/O wait is hogging the CPU, though...something is wrong with the way he compiled the kernel in that case. [02:58] I am currently trying to compile a app with a dependency of glfw, so I installed it (8.10). but when I compile, I get many linker errors regarding the absence of a libxrandr... which from all I can tell is installed (dev, runtime, and dbg).. I am at a loss as for a fix [02:58] What is given for the other percentages? idle, etc? [02:58] kitty_, want me to make it 0,1 or 0,2 or something? [02:58] i edited the clock, when i was checking to see if the bios was set to boot from cd, that cant have anything to do with all this can it [02:58] what's ubuntu's equivalent to the environment variables in windows? [02:58] -- [02:58] ted_, do you have compiz running? [02:58] hello [02:58] what's the default music player for ipod? [02:58] Kohlrak: export command [02:59] lets change the /dev/sda1 part [02:59] its like an itunes clone [02:59] Kohlrak-> type env [02:59] but I forgot the name [02:59] thanks [02:59] not the root () part [02:59] How would you change vidoes container and not the video and audio ? Take banshee don't play .mkv [02:59] yes, my other account was set to have it running b33r [02:59] did you select an item from the menu and hit "e" ? [02:59] you should see a command list if you did [02:59] i wasnt sure how to stop it from starting on boot though b33r [02:59] kitty_, I'm on the correct one waiting to edit it [02:59] you can goto the second part where it tries to load the kernel and you can hit e again [02:59] palomer: Amarok maybe? [02:59] and i didn't change anything with it either [02:59] and it'll give you the command and you can arrow over and change it to /dev/sb1 [03:00] kitty_, sdb1 ? [03:00] and then hit enter and "b" and see what it yells about then [03:00] tarelerulz1: You could use avidmux or demux with mplayer and then join the bits again with mkvtools [03:01] kitty_, its looking good [03:01] good call b33r , it was probably compiz, though why did it start acting up after i did not change anything? [03:01] booting up like normal ? [03:01] ted_, I don't know ;/ [03:01] kitty_, I think so [03:01] not amarok... [03:01] another one [03:01] you were enabling the whole ide controller ? [03:01] kitty_, sweee its working!!! you the man [03:01] anyone know how i would copy my gconf settings into a global gconf setting where all users would get this setting applied to them [03:01] hmm [03:01] ted_, check this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=647039 [03:01] Hello All [03:02] kitty_, I'm running all SATA except one drive so I narrowed it down to the IDE drive causing the issue [03:02] With a noarch.rpm do I have to rebuild it for my system? [03:02] ah, i see [03:02] what is on your ide drive? [03:03] thanks b33r , i guess that compiz running on boot froze things up [03:03] kitty_, between installing ubuntu again and everything Its actually empty now but I desperately want to install another copy of linux on it [03:03] ted_, is it working now? [03:03] So no one with experience configuring Ubuntu with a Sharp HDTV huh? [03:03] i see [03:03] i think you've accidently erased it and installed a broken copy of linux on it [03:03] ahhh! bleh.... I have to install two other packages just to install the android plugin into eclipse!!! [03:03] palomer: gtk-pod is another one... [03:03] lemme install, and try logging into the other user? [03:03] cause we totally booted a kernel image from it [03:03] kitty_, I think you are right [03:04] kitty_, I had alittle slip up and lost a lot of data [03:04] wow i cant sudo. === C is now known as Guest48426 [03:04] try editing the menu.lst and change the root entries for hd1,0 and sdb1 [03:04] Joeseph-> do not be surprised if android is not 100% java compatible [03:04] for the kernel root [03:04] ok let me restart [03:04] no need [03:04] n8tuser: What do you mean? [03:04] kitty_, crap I already started :P [03:05] well you'll have to save the changes to your menu.lst [03:05] Joeseph-> google for an article regarding googles own jvm and its not sun java jvm [03:05] so you don't have to always go in and change it [03:05] \q [03:05] just edit the file as root [03:05] kitty_, and then restart to see if it works? [03:06] so 1,0 = /dev/sdb1 ? [03:06] 0,0 = /dev/sda1 [03:06] yeah, i'd suggest putting several deviations on the settups in, and labeling them so you know which ones worked [03:06] n8tuser: gahh I'm going to go insane before I even start programming!!!!! that's new! and It requires Even More Plugins! [03:06] Joeseph-> there [03:07] 's a new book on android, i have not completely read it yet [03:07] ok i'm gonna go burn a copy of super grub and start kicking my computer if it doesn't work [03:07] l8ters [03:07] kitty_, thank you [03:07] n8tuser: that suggest you've started it though: Does Android seem good? [03:08] Joeseph-> i just read a chapter or so at the bookstore while sipping java :P [03:08] With a noarch.rpm do I have to rebuild it for my system? [03:08] is there some way that i can speed up transfers in scp over lan? I get only about 2MB/s over a Gbit network :/ [03:08] not gtk-pod either [03:08] something else... [03:09] Ive just setup an ubuntu box, whats the easiest way of enabling VNC from windows to it? Also can I get it load up at start? [03:09] n8tuser: I'm tempted to buy the g1. I'm trying to see if I could develop an application for it. My biggest hurdle (after I get it installed it seems) is that I've never really done UI design--- even though I do know a bit of HTML [03:09] thanks b33r [03:09] cya [03:09] worked? [03:10] i think [03:10] nice =) [03:10] yeah woot [03:10] take care [03:10] Joeseph-> i've only read it in passing, i have no real deep interest [03:10] you too bye [03:10] rhythmbox! [03:13] does hardy come with compiz fusion? [03:13] what is the latest wine in hardy? [03:14] can anyone help with a wireless internet connection? [03:14] kc8pxy_, for the latest version just build from source [03:14] what does RELATED,ESTABLISHED mean in iptables ? [03:14] Eva1-> what did you do so far? [03:14] b33r: never done that by hand in ubuntu, and my "home distro" does that for me. [03:14] whick pkg are glibc headers in (like stdio.h and unistd.h)? [03:14] aaron_: means it's not a new connection and it's related to an established connection [03:15] oh goodness.... stupid eclipse.... you're.... not.... working.... [03:15] established is connected like at the moment you create the rule or whast ? [03:15] would someone please pm me with instructions on how to install a wifi driver with ndiswraper [03:15] Any help with VNC on Hardy? [03:16] someone help me, i'm trying to use a program that uses oss audio (teamspeak) and sudenly it says that the device is busy, how i can fix that? [03:16] please help me, I am a noob. I installed hardy last week and it was great. Then tried to install KDE-desktop which destroyed everything. Now grub can't find my installations [03:16] aaron_: no, a connection is established once the initial handshake is done, has nothing to do with when the iptables rule was run [03:16] nfusco, you could try being specific [03:17] WarriorSl, quit all stuff that plays music (including firefox if any flash is open), that is stupid solution but should work [03:17] neosisani, gonna try [03:17] Hey, I am having a few issues with upgrading ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 8.10, it appears to have halted at the end, with a lot of disk activity, saying update-initramfs: generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic, and at the top it says searching for obsolete software, is this normal [03:17] is there a link ferry out there for IntrepidRC wireless help for the Aspire One? [03:17] ok .. i am trying to figure out why you would include this command when setting up iptables . --> $ sudo iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT <-- , could you explain it please ? [03:17] n8tuser > the first step of troubleshooting in the documentation says to go to system > preferences > hardware, but that isn't there [03:17] please help me, I am a noob. I installed hardy last week and it was great. Then tried to install KDE-desktop which destroyed everything. Now grub can't find my installations [03:17] groceryheist: Just some looking back: it's quite easy to install multiple desktop enviroments onto one ubuntu install, but sometimes installing gnome and kde causes a few problems- at least it did for me. You'll have to give more info if you want help though. specific errors. [03:18] albertico, Ok I want to VNC into my newly installed Hardy box, Ive got shell access - an opened the necessary ports in firewall, just dont know where to go from here, Id also like it that I dont have to login to x to be able to vnc.. [03:18] aaron it tracks connection state, allowing a packet that is part of an already established connection [03:18] well i was getting error 16 and 18 from grub [03:18] thank you .. exactly what i was wunderin :) [03:18] Eva1-> what kind of wifi card? pci? usb? pcmcia? [03:18] i'm installing the 8.10 beta (someversion) right now and i got an error that said LILO isn;t installed and i will have to set it up, did we switch to useing LILO instead of GRUB ? [03:18] neosisani, lol it worked out dude, thanks a bunch ^^~~ [03:18] aaron with that rule you would need another rule to accept the handshake that establishes a connection [03:18] hey all, i have a quick NAS mounting question [03:18] kc8pxy_, it's easy to build from source === After_Math is now known as OpenVirus [03:18] i moved physical location of my NAS and removed one hub from the pathway [03:19] WarriorSl, np, but check out if you can use alsa for audio output, better quaility and won't have those problems [03:19] now i cant find it from my machine [03:19] or can i just keep GRUB with 8.10 ? [03:19] sudo mount -a gets mount error 113 = No route to host [03:19] Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) [03:19] evilsherpa@evilsherpa-desktop:~$ [03:19] neosisani, i think i cant man, the program only uses oss [03:19] i can log into the NAS from this machine though [03:19] !8.10 | Xcerca [03:19] Xcerca: 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 [03:19] groceryheist: That's a start. Have you looked them up in more detail on google? [03:19] i've search many tutorials trying to run teamspeak with alsa but didn't manage to do it [03:20] nfusco, vinagre is the vnc client on ubuntu [03:20] is there a channel for Intrepid/Betas? Ubuntu+1? [03:20] yes frosterrj [03:20] albertico, ok, so can i connect to that from VNC on win32? [03:20] n8tuser> not sure [03:21] nfusco, also available through Applications->Internet->Remote Desktop Viewer [03:21] anyone able to help with iwl3945 wireless problems? [03:21] aaron-> you only want coming from your box and no new connection towards you [03:21] WarriorSl: IIRC, it was not designed with alsa. [03:21] nfusco, vinagre is the vnc client [03:21] albertico, I want to connect from windows [03:21] oh why is pulse audio still broken in hardy?? [03:21] Eva1-> then i can only pull my crystal ball and guess wrong [03:21] nfusco, then you must enable the vnc server on you ubuntu box [03:21] n8tuser > could you tell me how to find this out? [03:21] can anyone help me please, i wanna watch a video with subtitles on ubuntu, i thought the usual method would work, place file .avi and file .srt in the same folder, media player does the rest [03:22] albertico, How do I do that and can I do it from boot? [03:22] kc8pxy_, srry i don't understood [03:22] Eva1-> perhaps you can describe your computer to us and what cards do you have on it [03:22] nfusco: attempting to vnc to a ubuntu box from winders? [03:22] WarriorSl: IIRC, teamspeak was designed with oss, not alsa, and i have yet to see a version that does alsa. [03:23] Tom_Davis, yup [03:23] nfusco, if you are using x, go to System->Preferences->Remote Desktop and configure it [03:23] WarriorSl: I've seen it work with aoss, but that still doesnb't work for when i lay ET. [03:23] cant see usplash... got it tilt on boot-manager but cant see it [03:23] kc8pxy_, yep that's true, but have so many ways to emule oss with alsa to have the mix but i didn't manage to emule oss with alsa for teamspeak [03:23] groceryheist: Are you able to pastebin your grub's menu.lst? both the grub errors suggest an ill formatted device string in that file. [03:23] n8tuser> i'll just boot into windows for a sec and find out what card it is [03:23] nfusco, here is how I do it, www.realvnc.com for the winders, and x11vnc for the ubuntu\ [03:24] Tom_Davis, Can you config it to work on boot r do you have to be logged into X for it work? [03:24] unfortunately it has to be logged in I think [03:24] does 8.10 use LILO as it's defualt bootloader ? [03:24] Tom_Davis, dammit [03:25] but lemme look [03:25] Xcerca: #ubuntu+1 [03:25] you could cygwin from the winders box and forgo all the vnc stuff [03:25] when press Ctrl-Alt-1-6 I cannot see the terminal. I might have disabled them. How can I recover? [03:26] hi .. im getting this error when install sun java application server --> appserver@appserver:/opt$ ./sjsas_pe-8_2-linux.bin [03:26] ./sjsas_pe-8_2-linux.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [03:26] appserver__: Its F1 through F6, not 1-6 [03:26] what does that mean? [03:26] appserver__: sorry, wrong person [03:26] Tom_Davis, Can i not even start the server from the shell? [03:26] ayilmaz: Its F1 through F6, not 1-6 [03:26] i already install build essential [03:27] How can I ignore updating something and prevent the updates available icon? [03:27] but not solve my problem [03:27] nfusco I have never had any luck with that [03:27] somebody? [03:27] corrected: when press Ctrl-Alt-F1-F6 I cannot see the terminal. I might have disabled them. How can I recover? [03:27] ok, i was dual booting with XP, then i tried installing kde, then screwed around with the grub boot manager, i screwed up the universe. it doesn't matter though since im just messing around. I want to completely remove grub and reinstall ubuntu. I don't know how to do this. It would be fantastic if someone could walk me through it or at help me figure it out. [03:27] Tom_Davis, Ill keep diggin, thanks [03:27] Hello - I am having trouble installing fonts, some work and some dont? Im using ubuntu 8.04 on a pentium 2.8ghz machine [03:28] !fonts [03:28] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [03:28] anyone want to help me with a couple of questions on my ubuntu ? im new to linux but really want to make this work so I dont have to install microsft on my pc anymore [03:28] nfusco, they DO make an xserver for winders, might look at that [03:28] groceryheist: Did you read my suggestions to you? But if you really just want to reinstall ubuntu, It shouldn't be any different than you did the first time, except make sure to not install over your xp partition. How did you install it the first time? [03:29] Tom_Davis, Ta [03:29] i installed kde by doing aptget install kde, but its a 3.* version, how can i get the latest 4.* ? [03:29] how do i compile the latest wine with the 3dmark patch? [03:29] i just installed off of the live cd, i don't think i did anything wierd [03:29] apt-get install kde4, maybe? [03:29] hello [03:29] i already reinstalled a couple times, even reformatted, it did no good [03:29] woodyjlw: What's your question? [03:30] n8tuser> back, it's a pci [03:30] grocery: are you in a live session right now? [03:30] no [03:30] im on a different computer [03:30] groceryheist: what are you in now? [03:30] where do i find ndiswrapper? [03:30] I want to know how to install a program after I download it from the web [03:30] well, i had one running [03:30] i just restarted though to see what the error message was [03:30] I downloaded vmware [03:30] woodyjlw, eww, just eww [03:31] its not an exe like windows [03:31] groceryheist: I'm almost sure you messed up your grub's menu.lst. If you can get in a live session, I can direct you some from there. [03:31] woodyjlw, try virtualbox, much nicer [03:31] ok [03:31] that sounds about right [03:31] ok [03:31] let me get back in live [03:31] ICH9 not supported for sound ? [03:31] nfusco, you should read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC [03:31] I installed ubuntu on a sony vaio and I connect external speakers to it but the sound from the laptop does not stop and the sound on the speakers is very weak, how can I solve this please?

I just installed 64 Studio to try it out and then every time I turn on my machine the first choice is 64 studio :-( [04:34] Mixed432, /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:34] i can change the brightness using Fn+Up Down even while in grub menu [04:34] Mixed432 ^ [04:34] does that mean OS support is not needed for it? [04:35] roxan, thanks!!! b33r, you should switch to wine 18% alcohol :-) [04:35] wolfie2x, until and unless os doesn't sieze it [04:35] lol I prefer vodka :P [04:35] b33r: error 17: cannot mount selected partition [04:35] roxen : how do i disable OS control of it? [04:35] for xp: error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format [04:36] my intrepid is screwing it up.. how do i disable os control? [04:36] groceryheist, I don't know man it should've worked :S [04:36] b33r, vodka gives a mother of all hangovers, just like tequila although its my favorite [04:36] wolfie2x, i dont know but maybe you should try on keyboard shortucut [04:37] gah [04:37] Wolfie2x: You want OS support to enable energy saving mode on battery [04:37] I'm not up on my atp-fu. Could someone tell me how to get it to ignore some errors? In this case, it's having trouble configuring acpid (it won't load as I'm in a chroot environment, etc) [04:37] I just want to use it to update some packages... [04:38] specifically, I need to at least install the newer kernel packages + configure them [04:38] Spets: is there a way to just trick the OS to not now *only* my screen brightness keys? [04:38] b33r: well thanks... you have any more ideas about what i could try looking at? [04:38] if there's another method (dpkg?), I'd appreciate the tip! :) [04:38] OS to not know [04:38] wolfie2x: Rephrase please [04:38] groceryheist, no sorry :s [04:39] Spets: can I just disable only screen brightness control?

[04:41] so whenever i boot up ubuntu, it spends a really long time in startup, then goes to a command line called busybox and i cant do anything [04:42] im going to reformat and reinstall ubuntu [04:42] Question: How is Ubuntu different than Debian ? [04:42] groceryheist, do fdisk -l [04:42] What is the difference between using Preferences>Network Proxy...and using squid proxy server?? [04:42] Evan1: try installing 8.10 instead? [04:42] Evan1: First install? [04:43] Spets: what happens if I change the /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants entries for key brightness [04:43] groceryheist, sudo fdisk -l [04:43] second [04:43] CapaH: Ubuntu uses the unstable sid debian branch [04:43] ok [04:43] Evan1: run in safe mode, see if it's having problems due to misconfigured grub [04:43] Spets: ? [04:43] CapaH: It is a different distribution. This means, it provides you as a Default with different application programs and tools. [04:43] wolfie2x: I imagine they will alter the key bindings [04:43] capah: it happened the first install too, which is why i tried again [04:44] Evan1: it's possible that it's trying (and failing) to mount one or mor eof your partitions [04:44] Evan1: What version are you trying - and does the live disk work ok and its just not installing on disk? [04:44] Evan1: or are we talking a livecd? [04:44] I wonder if there is a problem with Evan1's video settings -- i.e. its not starting X [04:44] Evan1: Does it take you to a login prompt? [04:44] Spets: so i think that should work.. I'll try that [04:44] and a text-based system? [04:44] CapaH: its more noob-user friendly and more fancy on functionality [04:45] woo, I win. bye all [04:45] capah: it works on the livecd, using whichever version is latest, doesn't go to login prompt, not sure how to start safe mode, problem started when i installed a whole mess of updates and did the required restart [04:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/62727 [04:45] Evan1: Ah - so its not based on a fresh install but based on an updated version? [04:46] anyone know why when i type " electricsheep --mplayer 1" into the terminal it just says terminated and doesnt run? [04:46] capah: yes it worked until i did all those updates [04:47] Evan1: have you tried apt-get update, apt-get upgrade [04:47] i.e. try to upgrade everything again [04:47] no [04:47] try that [04:48] should i run the livecd and put that in the terminal then? [04:48] no [04:48] Ok let me ask you this when you turn on your computer - do you get to a log in prompt? [04:48] no [04:48] i have a non working video card and would wondering if someone could help me figure out what is wrong it is a Geforce4: MX 420 on Hardy [04:48] Evan1: What do you get ot? [04:48] to [04:48] hi people, Im using a Philips Semiconductors SAA7134/SAA7135HL Video Broadcast Decoder (card) it works for image.. but audio is not working.. a havent tried reconfigure alsa cuz i saw a saa7134_alsa module and Im confuse, any help? [04:49] capah: it goes from the loading screen to the command line [04:49] ok -- so the command line [04:49] b33r: http://paste.ubuntu.com/62727/ [04:49] type this [04:49] fsck [04:49] (first check your disk) [04:49] CapaH: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:49] groceryheist, few minutes on the phone [04:49] once that is done --- then do this: apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade [04:49] good morning [04:49] k no prob [04:50] whats new in ubuntu [04:50]  i have a non working video card and would wondering if someone could help me figure out what is wrong it is a Geforce4: MX 420 on Hardy [04:50] Randall: Nvidia right? [04:50] capah: just to be clear, i should type that in the busybox command line? [04:51] ok is fen` here or LjL ? [04:51] joe1977: in 8.10? gnome 2.24 with all the stuff it carries [04:51] any idea why the ubuntu install cd would lead my machine to just a blank black screen? [04:51] how far in did you get trumpetmic ? [04:51] trumpetmic: with a blinking cursor? [04:51] no blinking cursor [04:52] trumpetmic: At that blank screen -- have you tried CTRL+F1 , CTRL+F2 (to see if you get to a non-blank screen) ? [04:52] jim_p man i was just saying like what is going on thanks though [04:52] i put the disc into the drive, turned it on, the logo showed for a few minutes, and then a blank screen [04:52] ah [04:52] i can get to a terminal [04:52] trumpetmic: Did you do a check on the cd - integrity check? === shashank is now known as shredder12 [04:52] Randall: did you install the proper drivers? [04:52] but alt f7 shows blank [04:53] When my desktop goes screensaver mode, is there any way to make processes not freeze? [04:53] Jim_P: yes, at least i think i did [04:53] i didn't do an integrity check, but the cd worked on another computer [04:53] i needs help inserting an updated file into a bootable iso image, any suggestions ? [04:53] trumpetmic: Look in your xorg.conf - does it say "vesa" or what does it say in the Device section? [04:53] I'm seeding some torrents and I'd like them to continue seeding even when I'm not there. [04:53] hey people.. i don't know how to connect 2 computer using ubuntu on LAN..Any help?? [04:53] Any suggestions? [04:53] Jim P: how can i check? [04:53] CapaH, do you know by chance where i can find that file/ [04:53] -> /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:53] thanks [04:54] memorize that - it will prove very useful to you [04:54] Randall: can you please post me the output of this? cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver [04:54] mind the caps [04:54] MindVirus, just leave your torrent client open and it'll seed as you have it configured... ? [04:54] You will see something like this: Driver "nvidia" or Driver: "vesa" or something -- tell me what it says [04:54] Jim P: cat: /etc/X11/xorg.cong: No such file or directory? [04:55] nop; changing the keybindings didn't disable my screen brightness OSD === omar is now known as Omar87 [04:55] Randall: conf not cong [04:55] Randall: its xorg.conf, u made a typo [04:55] i downloaded the fixntldr.iso, i need to insert a new boot.ini to the iso image, but i don't have any utilities capable of doing it while retaining the bootability of the image, any suggestions? [04:55] doesn anyone know how to disable the screen brightness OSD? [04:55] Jim P: the problem is that when i enable it in Hardware drivers and restart it always tells me that it is starting in low graphics mode [04:55] capah: i apologize for being dumb, but i'm a bit confused as to where to put the apt-get upgrade and apt-get update commands [04:55] kitty_, it doesn't. [04:55] ok, under which section of xorg.conf should i find my video driver? [04:55] Evan1: Right at your terminal prompt [04:56] When my screensaver activates it's like a ctrl+z in the console for each running process. [04:56] ok...i'll try that [04:56] disable screen saver, next ? [04:56] hey people,,how do i connect 2 computer using ubuntu using a lan wire.. [04:56] trumpetmic: You have to look for it - you will see something like Driver "" --- just show me anything you see like that (on one line) [04:56] Randall: well do the check that i said. there is a reason i asked [04:56] Driver "kbd" [04:56] Driver "mouse" [04:57] i have a section called "device" [04:57] shredder12 do you have a hub or router or is this a crossover cable? [04:57] kitty_, I would like to keep my screensaver and not freeze processes. [04:57] Randall: only these 2?! [04:57] all it has is Identifier "configured Video Device" [04:57] Kitty..its just a cable.. [04:57] Hi. nm-applet no longer loads for me. What can be a possible cause/fix for it? [04:57] Randall: Any others? [04:58] TigranG: yes, crappy network manager! [04:58] nvm [04:58] shredder12 you normally need a device between your two computers or a crossover cable to be able to communicate, there are some "media smart" cards that will swap over for you, plug them in and see if the leds light up in back [04:58] jim_p: notification area wasnt added to the panel [04:58] jim_p: lol [04:58] CapaH: none [04:58] Randall: Well -- then it has no video driver [04:59] Randall: Type this: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:59] (and memorize that - it will also prove useful later) [04:59] how do i remove pulseaudio and still have a working system? [04:59] kc8pxy_, you probably want PulseAudio. [04:59] Randall: At a point in that process it will ask you to select a video driver, resolution, etc --- choose 1024x768 and for driver choose: VESA from the list [04:59] It's an excellent sound daemon. [05:00] kitty..yes they do...but when i look in the Places->network..i just find an icon "window network" and the same thing appear in the other computer.. [05:00] MindVirus: the wine guys say that pulseaudio is getting in the way of sound in the games I'm trying to play. [05:00] shredder12 are both computers running ubuntu ? [05:00] kc8pxy: You should be able to get around that with wincfg [05:00] winecfg [05:00] kitty.. ya ubuntu 8.04 [05:00] kc8pxy_, what CapaH said. [05:00] shredder12 are they connected to the internet somehow or are you on a third computer? [05:01] CapaH: .... ok, how? i'm runnign on pure alsa. [05:01] Furthermore, you can just kill the pulseaudio process without removing it. [05:01] Capa: what is framebuffer device interface? [05:01] Pure ALSA isn't a sound daemon. [05:01] kc8pxy: In winecfg go to Audio - and play with the settings [05:01] It doesn't allow multiple programs outputting sound. [05:01] kitty_ No, they are not connected to internet.. [05:01] Randall: What are your choices? [05:01] I mean, it does, but only as much as hardware supports. [05:02] shredder12 on one computer, "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1" on the other "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2" then see if you can ping each other [05:02] or if the network lights even blink [05:02] Capa: Yes/No on kernal framebuffer device interface [05:02] MindVirus: how do i tell it give total priority to my game sound? [05:02] Randall: Ah ok - choose No [05:02] kc8pxy_, kill the other programs. [05:02] There are probably better ways. [05:02] But that's where I'd start. [05:02] kitty_ i will try i may be offline for a while..coz as i have already if i m trying this lan thing i won't be connected to internet.. [05:03] CapaH / Randall: any ideas? it doesn't seem to have specific driver information configured [05:03] trumpetmic: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:03] MindVirus: all the progs i know actually have sound are closed. [05:03] And when prompted --- choose VESA from the driver list, and choose resolution 1024x768 [05:03] i have a problem with my keyboard layout. where used to be plus is now minus etc. there is only one alternative too, USA. what can i do to solve this [05:03] shredder12 well it sounds like you're in need off a hub/switch or a router to me [05:03] kc8pxy_, so kill off pulseaudio before you run the game. [05:03] user_ : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg :) [05:03] took me about 20 to figure out how to even get in this channel [05:03] shredder is this computer one you're taking over to the other one? [05:03] CapaH, since I'm on my old TV, could I select 800x600? [05:04] yes trump [05:04] kc8pxy_, then run it again after the game. [05:04] can someone help me out with snort and stuff [05:04] thanks CapaH === andrew_ is now known as ac13 [05:04] It'll let you run the game but it's a hack. [05:04] I think the topic should be: "Try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg first" heh [05:04] Heh CapaH. [05:04] anyone? [05:05] Is there a command line equivilent of windirstat from windows, for ubuntu? [05:05] army12bc: ... help with snort... thats a toughie [05:05] hey, I've noticed that the graphics are laggy whenever a large part of the screen refreshes (i.e. scrolling in firefox or fullscreen videos or games). small windows are not a problem. this is a new problem that cropped up after I "updated" to 8.10 rc, there was no problem before with 8.04. anyone know why that could be? [05:05] joshhunt what the heck does windirstat do? [05:05] army12bc, well first, put your finger on a nostril, then put your other nostril over the snort, and inhale. [05:05] well before i start using ubuntu i want all the security set up [05:05] army12bc: What are you trying to achieve with it exactly? I would say step one is load up synaptic and see if you can find snort / oinkmaster [05:06] i want to install it lol [05:06] Cocaine isn't digital. [05:06] i just got ubuntu yesterday [05:06] kitty_: Creates a graphical representation of the files on my hdd and how much space they take up etc [05:06] got avast install now i need the firewall [05:06] army12bc: I hope you are more concerned then about iptables than snort :) [05:06] interesting output CapaH: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config/dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable [05:06] I just want to know where most of the space is being taken up on my machine [05:07] i just want to make sure i'm secure [05:07] army12bc: Get iptables installed/set up then - that is most important [05:07] whats a nice application that can insert new files to an existing iso image? [05:07] ok how do i do that capah [05:07] snort / aide if you are really paranoid [05:07] anyone mind helping me with setting for my laptop? [05:07] hey, how do you buil TAO on ubuntu? [05:08] army12bc, be careful you can lock yourself out with iptables [05:08] or is able to extract the bootimage from an existing iso so i can re-use it [05:08] anyone know answer to my question way above? [05:08] theres secure. then thers paranoid. ;) [05:08] army12bc: Best to start with some simple tutorials on google - look up iptables ubuntu [05:08] lol i'm cyber security student so..... [05:08] ok i will look [05:08] army12bc: it's a good idea to cron a script that will flush iptables every 10 minutes when you are working with it remote, just in case [05:09] army12bc, well then linux is for you [05:09] second question is how do i set up multiple monitors [05:09] ac13: you should ask in #ubuntu+1 since you've installed a prerelease [05:09] army12bc- apt-get kmyfirewall [05:09] army12b: iptables is installed by default and is just a front-end of netfilter [05:09] carpediem: thanks [05:09] i got that kitty haven't played with it yet [05:09] trumpetmic: Try googling that error first - see if ya get something useful [05:09] i have a problem with my keyboard layout. where used to be plus is now minus etc. there is only one alternative too, USA. what can i do to solve this [05:09] user_: Did you dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [05:10] There is a spot there for you to choose in more detail what keyboard you are using - it will say things like "is there an N character?" etc - and better chooses the right keyboard [05:10] ok coming from windows this command line stuff is rediculous [05:10] how do i find out what i'm typing definitions [05:10] user_ take a screwdriver, pop off the - and replace, or use finger paint and make it a + [05:10] army12bc, comming from windows.. i find the comand line concise, and very helpfull... [05:11] army12bc: man [05:11] i know dos commands [05:11] army12bc: You will find that the amount of command-line stuff you *need* will decrease over time [05:11] kitty_ ..yes, i was able to ping them..and i even succeded to connect them through ssh...but isn't there a gui mode to connect.. [05:11] army12bc: I guarantee in a short period of time, you'll hate using dos [05:11] connect to what shredder ? if you're not sharing anything it won't see anything, setup samba and share some folders [05:11] army12bc: firestarter is a graphical user interface for iptables [05:12] Hey [05:12] I am building a Disto based on Ubuntu called Ultimate os [05:12] http://ultimateos.sephizor.com [05:13] I still do not get - what makes a Distro based on Ubuntu not Ubuntu but rather a new distribution? Can anyone answer that one for me please? :) [05:13] capah> i dont even know what that means [05:13] CapaH: then is Ubuntu Debian? [05:13] kitty_ ..yes, i was able to ping them..and i even succeded to connect them through ssh...but isn't there a gui mode to connect. [05:13] Is "Distro" just another way of saying that you install Ubuntu, change a few things around, and call it something new? [05:13] CapaH, Depends on who supports it [05:13] carpediem: That is my question I think :) [05:13] ok i used kmfirewall to set up basic wall i think i'm good now [05:13] user_: Type: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg as root [05:14] army12bc: You have much to learn about being paranoid :) [05:14] * kc8pxy_ was an idiot. [05:14] lol [05:14] army12bc: Grab Nessus :) [05:14] CapaH: a distribution is a fairly loose term....but Ubuntu typically refers to those as a Remix [05:14] !mupen [05:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about mupen [05:14] * kc8pxy_ removed enough things that gnome-panel won't load. i log in and i get no bars. [05:14] kc8: How did you manage that? [05:15] Shredder12_: the browser in nautilus is showing you windows shares, if you share some stuff then you'll appear in the browser [05:15] carpediem: So if someone says to me they made a new Linux DISTRO called "my awesome OS" --- do I believe they just played with ubuntu customization or that they did something more wizardly? :) [05:15] CapaH: i removes all the pusleaudio stuff i could find. and lost the bars before i talked to yall. [05:16] CapaH: good thing about OSS, the good stuff succeeds, and the bad stuff fades away [05:16] capah whwere in the terminal [05:16] CapaH: tried simply reinstalling ubuntu desktop, and i didn't get it all back.

[05:30] kitty_: burn the disks at 4x [05:30] ran the reconfigure, went back to f7, and it's still just blank [05:30] kelvin911: yes albeit not perfect. You may have to do some fiddeling around [05:30] they burn fine favro, they work fine favro, i can't get the right information on them favro [05:30] dulak: doesnt work [05:30] kelvin911: works great for me [05:30] CapaH: ok, i got my panels back.

[05:33] dulak: ok [05:33] dulak: http://pastebin.com/m55dfec03 [05:33] what does it mean? [05:34] kelvin911: it means you have 2 512 meg dimms installed for a total of 1g ram [05:34] can i buy a 2GB or 4GB and stick in there? [05:34] where is .emacs on ubuntu [05:34] kelvin911: it looks like you need pairs, and have 2 banks free [05:35] why do i need pairs? [05:35] kelvin911: you need 2 1g sticks of 533mhz dimms [05:35] kelvin911: cuz it's running in ddr mode [05:35] whys that? [05:35] dual data rate [05:35] ddr mode? [05:35] kelvin911: because god said you do [05:35] is there anyone using the Ubuntu EEE? [05:35] i am [05:35] ddr2 or ddr3? [05:35] where is .emacs on ubuntu [05:36] in the repos? [05:36] kelvin911: hold on let me look up which is 533mhz [05:36] Hello How is everybody today! [05:36] kelvin911: ddr3 533mhz [05:36] trav: homocidal [05:36] can ubuntu tell me what video card i have via the command line? [05:36] yes [05:36] Kitty:Why [05:36] saftarn, sudo apt-get install emacs, then type emacs & [05:36] why is it in bank 0 and 2? [05:37] Empathy vs. Pidgin: should I replace Pidgin with Empathy? [05:37] should that be in 0 and 1? [05:37] Thats terrible whats going on/? [05:37] i still can not get windows to boot and i don't have a way to fix this crap [05:37] Hello.every one. [05:37] because bank 0 and 2 is a pair and 1 and 3 is a pair [05:37] ripps, install them both. use what you like. [05:37] kelvin911: ddr banks are even and odd [05:37] here is my mobo http://img.neoseeker.com/v_image.php?articleid=1795&image=56 [05:38] dulak, some motherboards will recognize single sided and double sided chips as seperate banks [05:38] what diff between the blue slot and black slot? [05:38] kelvin911: blue is one bank, black is another bank [05:38] kitty_: I'm trying not to confuse him [05:39] should i get 667mhz or 533 mhz ram? [05:39] kelvin911: 533, match what you have installed [05:39] kelvin911: mix and match ram is never a good idea [05:39] is 667 better? [05:39] Its faster [05:39] ssh hangs on connect (client). worked for the past 3 years. any ideas? [05:39] lol that sure doesn't leave alot of room for expansion cards [05:40] kelvin911: it's faster, but if your board doesn't support it, you'll just run at 533 anyways and waste money === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [05:40] kelvin911: trust me, get 533 and match what you have [05:40] http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/asusp5nd2sli/ here is the spec [05:40] i still use an a7v100 :D [05:41] in memory there it said ddr2 [05:41] i dont know diff between ddr2 and ddr3? [05:41] ddr3 is faster and a lot more expensive [05:41] kelvin911: everything I see lists 533 as ddr3 but if the specs say ddr2, get that [05:41] Max. 8 GB/4 GB DDR2 667/533/400 non-ECC memory (8 GB DDR2 support for 64 bit OS platform only) [05:42] does that mean i need to use ddr2 ram? [05:42] kelvin911: yes, get 533 ddr2 ram [05:42] Question: If I was to clone myself; And then Have sex with that clone do you think that would be GAY:? [05:42] can i get 667 ddr2? [05:42] and sell my 533? [05:42] Can I get some help fixing a WiFi screwup? [05:42] kelvin911, yes better [05:42] kelvin911: if you want, just don't mix and match different speeds of ram [05:42] what about the max? [05:43] is it 4gb or 8gb? [05:43] i want to start checkgmail *after* getting a network connection [05:43] how can i do that? [05:43] kelvin911: depends what OS you are running [05:43] ubuntu [05:43] and xp [05:43] kelvin911, 64 or 32 bit [05:44] kelvin911: 32bit is only gonna see like 3.2g of ram [05:44] kelvin911, 32 bit support up to 4GB [05:44] i heard that xp can only see 2GB [05:44] ubuntu 32bit [05:44] andresmh, start it from rc.local is one way. [05:44] brad_, tell us more [05:44] can someone tell me what the hell 1394 is good for anyways? [05:44] so i cant use 4gb on ubuntu? [05:44] brad_ problems? [05:44] kelvin911, on a 32bit system - you will proberly lose a little bit of the ram. [05:45] I had enabled WPA-SPK ( I think) and it only worked on this computer. [05:45] so I turned it off, got internet back on every other one.. except this one. [05:45] do i have to install ubuntu 64bit if i get more ram? [05:45] what about softwares? [05:45] kelvin911: all 32bit os's have alimit around 3G for mem [05:45] I swiched the wireless security off, and I still can't get it [05:45] kitty_, 1394 = firewire, used by a lot of video cameras. and external drives/devices. [05:45] kelvin911, if you get more than 4GB you need 64 bit [05:45] kelvin911, you do not have to.. if you want to access more then 4gb you will need to. [05:45] what does that port look like ? [05:45] what about the big mem kernel? [05:46] i thought it was a smaller usb cable [05:46] so i better just wait? [05:46] brad_, can you reset the router without losing anything important? [05:46] kitty_, i wold say check the wiki page for it.. theres proberly images there.. its roundish on one side. [05:46] just stay with what i have? [05:46] I could.. Not LOL [05:46] I'm on a sprint EVDO card ATM since I can't connect to WiFI [05:46] If you want to access beyond 3.3.. GB ram you need a 64bit OS [05:46] how do I burn a .DDA file [05:46] kelvin911: if I was you, and I needed more ram, I would just buy 2 1g sticks of 533 ddr2 and be done with it [05:47] the amount of ram 'lost' when you have exactly 4gb on a 32bit system. can depend on your exact hardware also. [05:47] so total 3GB? [05:47] kelvin911, you will get some performance boost if you change your 533 to 667 [05:47] brad_, maybe try using another flavour of wpa? [05:47] how much boost? [05:47] nephlim, all the security is turned off [05:47] anyone? burning a .DDA file? [05:47] kelvin911: that depends on where your performance bottleneck is, but 3g will put you under the limit your OS can see [05:48] brad_, linksys? [05:48] yep [05:48] WRT-300N Rev 1 [05:48] kelvin911, if you are looking for some good boost I'd get the 800mhz if your mobo supports it [05:48] dulak: brb [05:48] i did dkpg-reconfigure but i still have the same keyboardmess, do i have to restart ubuntu to see the effect [05:48] here is my mobo spec http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/asusp5nd2sli/ [05:49] b33r: his specs only put him a 667 max [05:49] well all i know about 1394 is when you buy a laptop and you think it has onboard lan you're sadly mistaken [05:49] ?? [05:49] then he should stick with 667 [05:49] brad_, i'm stumped. I will say that i swore by linksys until they got flaky, then switched to netgear. no problems since. [05:49] saftarn, nope just restart X, ctrl+alt+backspace [05:50] brad_, have you tried grabbing a neighbors unlocked router? [05:50] I'm the one everyone mooches off [05:50] I LOVE INSECURE NETWORKS wish they were closer to my house [05:51] hello [05:51] are the other computers ubuntu also? [05:51] hello people. i got ububtu 8.04 and i was wondering how to enable compiz fusion [05:51] that CAN connect [05:51] kitty_, they are everywhere http://www.wigle.net/ [05:51] HESAN you need to get the compiz fusion manager started [05:52] anyone? how do I burn a .DDA file? [05:52] HESAN: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:52] howdy biznitches [05:53] question: i'm using the update manager, and its downloaded around 30/152 files i need, if I were to stop it now, would it save the 30 I already downloaded and continue where it left off, or would it start from the beginning again? [05:53] Gun_Smoke, any ideas on burning a .DDA file? [05:53] CoRnJuLiOx: it should start where it left off, each file is cached for the install phase [05:53] ok thanks [05:54] this stupid wifi problem is pissing me off [05:54] what was your wifi problem? [05:54] theres no linux alternative to ipconfig -renew and - release === ac31 is now known as ac13 [05:55] so I turned it off, got internet back on every other one.. except this one. [05:55] oops [05:55] I had enabled WPA-SPK ( I think) and it only worked on this computer. [05:55] so I turned it off, got internet back on every other one.. except this one. [05:55] brad_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:55] so you turned off encryption [05:55] yes. and I deleted it out of the connections [05:56] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [05:56] check the type of WPA [05:56] are the other machines windows? [05:56] five, wireless secuity is off now [05:56] Yes [05:57] what kind of wireless cards are in the other five windows computers [05:57] fiveipaids: how do i start it? [05:57] its mixed [05:58] like B and G cards? [05:58] theres 2 linksys, 2 d-links, a dell, and a HP [05:58] All are G are one except for a N linksys [05:58] HESAN: once that apt-get installs correctly [05:58] its under the preferences under advanced user settings [05:58] something to that effect [05:59] and the other five windows machines cant connect under the WPA connect [05:59] they should be able too [05:59] Noooo [05:59] i thought the ms machines were up and the linux box couldn't [05:59] haiii [05:59] *brad_: the windows can connect [05:59] yes [05:59] and it used to connect fine [05:59] yep [06:00] it was the only PC that worked with the WPA [06:00] what did you change/add? [06:00] I added WPA, it didn't work. I turned it off and removed the security check in connections, I still can't connect [06:00] can you do WEP? [06:01] not going to [06:01] ok [06:01] brad_, so no encryption is up at the moment and you can't connect? [06:01] i was just asking if you tested that [06:01] NO its off [06:01] try restarting networking yet? [06:01] I get "authentication required by wireless netwo" [06:01] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [06:01] yes I did [06:02] it did nothing [06:02] and how about sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [06:02] sudo iwconfi essid "yours" [06:02] hello [06:02] command not found [06:02] does anyone have experience in virtual systems in ubuntu [06:02] brad_: anything about wireless in the output of dmesg? like if you do "dmesg | grep wlan" [06:03] lyk3n: like VMWare? [06:03] hey so anyone else do that? mount a hard drive over the network to store your files? its working great only problem is that the mount is starts before the network oes some times, which causes it to take 5 minutes or so just hanging there [06:03] Cycom: sure looking to try redhat, but virtually [06:03] theres output [06:03] ajhtiredwolf: how are you mounting the drive exactly? [06:04] Brad: is kill switch on? [06:04] lyk3n: I'm a fan of VMWare workstation, but that's $$. You can run server 1.x on ubuntu I think... [06:04] wtf? [06:04] dmesg | grep kill switch [06:04] Cycom: do you know a free one [06:04] thx fiveipaids [06:04] brad_: most wireless cards have a hardware or software kill switch [06:04] I have a really weird problem. I can play video just fine, but it's all in black and white! [06:04] lyk3n: vmware server, but it's far from the only one. [06:04] WTF? [06:04] If kill switch is on then your network is down [06:04] google maps won't work in firefox 3.0.3 or minefield, and neither will youtube videos. ive run it in safemode with the same results. any suggestions? [06:04] Its a software switch for the network card [06:04] hiya ppl... can anyone tell me how to script an app to start once another program runs???? [06:04] gaten: install flash [06:05] anyone help me with modifying a bootable iso image ? [06:05] spasticteapot: sure its not just that one program? [06:05] omg i need help, my userlist in xchat just disappeared [06:05] Tried mplayer and VLC. [06:05] no killswitch, and my bluetooth is on which means wifi is enabled [06:05] Cycom: I'll give that one a try. THANKS [06:05] kitty_: reconfigurator [06:05] lyk3n: np. VMs are awesome. [06:05] whats that spets? [06:05] Its what you want [06:05] lyk3n: virtual box is another [06:05] google it [06:05] Mr_Polite: does gmaps need flash? and yes, that is an on going problem. flash won't work no matter what i try (install/reinstall etc) [06:06] lyk3n: I spent the $$ to get a licence for workstation for a bunch of extra features, but that's your call. Server will work fine, or like Rat409 said, virtualbox === cloud-e is now known as cloud-ieee [06:06] i have been just making isos with mkisofs [06:06] Cycom:ok, sounds good guys [06:06] flash-nonfreeplugin? [06:06] gaten: did you try the ubuntu-rescrited-extras? [06:06] but i don't know how to get this to EXTRACT the boot image so i can modify it [06:06] restricted* [06:06] gaten: firefox beta and minefield will not get teh flash plugin installed using the installer from adobe. the plugin must be manually installed [06:06] Rat409: thanks, I haven't heard of this one [06:07] kitty_: I think you can mount it as a loopback device as rw, but I could be wrong, and I don't know how to do it :) [06:07] I'm having graphics issues, I don't think it's my card because it works fine in windows, but my screensaver (in ubuntu) just shows a black screen no mater what setting it's on and programs on or off WINE don't work either. I think it's driver issues but don't know enough about how to fix it. [06:07] ubuntu-rescrited-extras is a meta package with all sorts of nasties though [06:07] brad_, does sudo iwlist wlan0 scan return with your network and list encryption key off ? [06:07] Cycom, in fstab as //192.168.0.2/blah blah [06:07] Mr_Polite: i tried that. still no go [06:07] Mindhazingsquid: It could be a graphics driver issue [06:08] kitty_: you mount it on the loopback, copy it out of the mount to a rw location, do your changes, and use mkisofs to create a new iso of the changed copy [06:08] gaten: goto adobe.com and download flash 10, but get teh .tar.gz version. unpack is and copy the libflash*.so to the plugin directory of what ever browser you want to use it with. restart the browser and you're set [06:08] ajhtiredwolf: hrm.... why not just use the 'Places, Connect to server, bookmark' option? [06:08] kitty_: if it's bootable you have to extract the boot bits from the original iso to use with mkisofs [06:08] dulak i wants to change the boot image [06:08] ajhtiredwolf: if you REALLY need to mount it via fstab, set it for noauto and set up a cron job or init script to mount it after the system is 'all the way up' [06:08] Gun_Smoke, http://pastebin.ca/1236686 [06:09] Spets, I suspect the same but I'm not sure how to fix it. Can I just install the drivers from Nvidia? (I have a geforce card) I was told a while ago not to do that but I didn't really understand why. [06:09] ssh client hangs on connect (won't). all other machines behind the router connect fine [06:09] any ideas? [06:09] brad_: what about ifconfig? it looks like you have a decent connection... [06:09] Mr_Polite: in the interest of not wasting your time, here's a thread with the steps ive taken so far: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=1aa2f764948565f79acdc9cdca366a53&p=6034609#post6034609 [06:09] brad_, looks good.. how about sudo dhclient wlan0 [06:09] Cycom, put it in fstab AND in a sctript? [06:09] Cycom: yes, and no go [06:09] ok lets pretend somehow i extract the bootimage, and now i have it as a .bin file, how am i going to modify it (its a floppy image) [06:09] kitty_: k3b can extract the boot image from an iso [06:09] anyone know what to call this kind of graphic symptom? http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t76/injected666/ss3.jpg [06:09] ajhtiredwolf: right, but don't put it as automount [06:09] kitty_: sorry, i meant reconstructor [06:10] wait, brad_, can you paste the output of ifconfig wlan0 and iwconfig wlan0? [06:10] gun: http://pastebin.ca/1236687 [06:11] flav0rl3ss: "artifacts" Clock down your video card [06:11] is ipconfig [06:11] eer ifconfig [06:11] goodbye [06:11] Is the following sentence true? "The Linux console is a kernel driver plus some user-space utilities for console support." If so, what is the name of thi kernel driver? [06:11] kitty_: you mount the .img file on the loopback, copy the filesystem off to a rw location, make changes, and use zcat and cpio to make it back into an image [06:11] kitty_: there is mad docs on all of this available from google [06:11] http://pastebin.ca/1236688 [06:12] Cycom, something like mount -t cifs noauto //192.168.0.2/mountpoint /location ? [06:12] gracias [06:12] ajhtiredwolf: right, and then you set up your script to do 'mount /location' [06:12] i can't watch video's on a certain site, it worked before though. I have fnome and adobe flash 9.0 [06:13] Cycom, is that syntax correct? [06:14] brad_, that last one looks like your up.. ping something [06:14] Maeva: quickfix: get the url of the video and open it in vlc [06:14] !hi [06:14] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [06:14] let me discoonnect my EVDO card [06:14] !yo [06:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about yo [06:15] ajhtiredwolf: heck if I know [06:15] i cant use the scroll on my mouse, how can i solve that?

[08:18] i can see them just can't get in [08:18] Im going to PM with traveler a bit [08:18] army12bc, be very concise as to what you mean.. are you refering to linux seeing windows shares? or windows seeing linux shares? [08:19] linux seeing windows [08:19] i can see the pc just can't get in [08:19] army12bc, i hacve often had to type in the full path to the windows share with the grub file manager.. it for some reason did not see/scan and get/show the share names. [08:20] oops i mean the gnome file manager. :) not grub [08:20] !samba| army12bc [08:20] army12bc: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

I did an apt-get update today. Why, when I change the server I download from ("Software Sources"), does it tell me my stuff horribly out of date, and download megs of files? [08:24] army12bc, thats sorr of what i said. :) [08:24] CokeFTW: Does just "mount" not give you what you want? [08:24] army12bc, theres a slight glitz in gnome file manager in that area it seems. === willwh is now known as willwh|afk [08:24] its kewl [08:24] thanks tho [08:24] army12bc, http://encryptionhowto.sourceforge.net/Encryption-HOWTO-6.html *shrugs perhaps that will help ^.^; [08:25] Also, sometimes after I do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, then open the "Update Manager" GUI, it shows a good number of packages that weren't updated, even though apt-get says everything's fine. What's up with that? [08:25] no i meant what type like 128bit ect [08:26] lo, my terminal does "color" my files... ie directories and normal files are all the same color, how do I fix that?

[08:27] Reenen, alias ls='ls --color=auto' [08:27] onexused: yes [08:27] dr_willis: I need to put that into some rc file to make it like that always?

The first thing on the list is the /dev name. The second is the mount point: /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/fat type ext3 (rw,noatime) /dev/sdb1 is mounted on /mnt/fat. The FS type is ext3, etc. [08:29] CokeFTW: Or are you seeing something like /mnt/vurt/distfiles on /usr/portage/distfiles etc. ? [08:29] thanks dr_willis, I'm off! [08:30] hi! anyone there?

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [08:30] hi dreamer! [08:31] i am using a eeepc701, it worked just perfectly with ubuntu until some weeks ago when i started having problem with the sound. all the sound goes through the pcspeaker and its cracking alot. also there is no sound at all if i mute the pcspeaker in the mixer. [08:31] thanks obottu! [08:32] hi larsemil! are you in trouble with sound editing? [08:32] monica: it's a bot [08:32] no [08:32] ok a question for the masses what do you ppl prefer kubuntu or ubuntu (helps in making my decision on what to download the new release) [08:32] Anyone know of any good themes for Ubuntu Hardy Heron? [08:33] SaberZ: the default one :) [08:33] ubuntu-fi-offtopic [08:33] Ubuntu(Gnome) to me seems a bit quicker than Kubuntu. [08:33] sap1: ubuntu fine for me [08:33] outbackwifi: you stil present ? [08:33] yeah i like it, but want it darker, but anytime i customize it some screen objects don't appear right [08:33] SaberZ: You can find themes for any distro: gnome on gnome-look.org, KDE on kde-look.org, xfce on xfce-look.org [08:34] oh, thanks onexused [08:34] hmm so ubuntu is faster due to gnome but what is more versatile kubuntu or ubuntu [08:35] that i can't say. Most every desktop bar Suse has been gnome for me, kubuntu reminds me of os x with its nice bright shiny interface [08:35] not sure about under the hood though [08:35] hmmm [08:36] well then only one thing left download kubuntu if i dont like it download ubuntu [08:36] i am using a eeepc701, it worked just perfectly with ubuntu until some weeks ago when i started having problem with the sound. all the sound goes through the pcspeaker and its cracking alot. also there is no sound at all if i mute the pcspeaker in the mixer. [08:36] sap or run both livecds and check first before you install [08:37] sap1: you can install ubuntu and add kde later [08:38] is it kde4 in 8.10? [08:38] inik:yea but the problem is i stay in my college hostel and the bastards dont allow me to download [08:38] its irritating actually [08:38] hi [08:38] so have to download both the cds [08:39] on torrents [08:39] or from ubuntu.com [08:39] direct download is too fickle [08:40] I'm having problems getting ubuntu to wake from suspend mode, I tried switching back to metacity as I thought compiz might be the problem, but it still wont wake after suspend. Any ideas? [08:40] sap1: There are download resumers. Like wget. Then if it disconnects, you can restart from where it left off. I never download large files with the browser. [08:40] 大家好 [08:40] wget doesnt work [08:40] only torrents work as i encrpt the connection [08:40] hello all [08:41] afk [08:41] 所 [08:41] !cn | lijian [08:41] lijian: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [08:41] i have troubles playing "alpha centauri" on linux [08:41] lijian laji [08:41] sap1: I haven't tried wget with encryption [08:41] something about glib library; does any one have a solution? [08:42] hi all, does someone know XCHAT? [08:42] nike_m: i am on xchat! [08:42] I use it [08:42] 大家好 [08:43] What causes the message connection reset by peer? [08:43] Hellow everyone [08:43] su3180: with wine? [08:43] jim_p: are you familliar with dns and dhcp configuration? if so can you check out my config? [08:43] jim_p - no, native; there is a linux edition [08:43] the config should work [08:44] paul68: not that familiar, but anyway hit it [08:44] im now on xchat [08:44] jim_p: thanks http://paste.ubuntu.com/62777/ [08:44] but not for every chat server [08:44] Does flash 10 have less issues than 9 on Ubuntu? [08:44] su3180: do you have proper drivers installed? [08:44] su3180: proper vga drivers [08:45] for me flash 10 plays audio perfect over pulseaudio without extra plugins, it doesn't crash firefox without nswrapperplugin, and gives way less choppy video with better cpu performance [08:45] OxDeadC0de: So basically way better all around. [08:45] Basically [08:46] paul68: what is all this supposed to do? and where does it fail? [08:46] jim_p - I think so; the game starts without any problem; thing is that at some points exits telling me something about memory issues and glibc 2.something (which is quite old,so...) [08:46] Circs: 10 has less known security bugs [08:47] su3180: glxinfo | grep direct [08:47] Well on I go then === root is now known as Guest67757 [08:47] jim_p - yes, i do have direct rendering capabilities [08:48] jim_p: at this point it doesn't fail, I'm busy to change my server config in order have my server installed as router with dhcp dns and firewall, before actually testing this out I made new config files before I get the wife angry ;-) and you knw they can be very visious when they angry [08:48] su3180: could it be a module that loads through xorg.conf? [08:48] paul68: lmao [08:49] is li jian here [08:49] jim_p: less likely; perhaps it is better to copy paste the message here, otherwise it's a shot in the dark; just a minute... === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [08:50] paul68: well i dont know if all these work for real, this has to be your network [08:50] paul68: but it seems ok in general. i am only curious about that commented line on 42 [08:50] I'm having problems getting ubuntu to wake from suspend mode, I tried switching back to metacity as I thought compiz might be the problem, but it still wont wake after suspend. Any ideas? [08:51] jim_p: why is that? [08:51] Hi, why does Firestarter only has the capability to be the firewall on one Network card? [08:52] i am going to be doing a clean install of intrepid in a few days. can i backup my home folder and copy the config folder ie for xchat to the new home folder? will those configs work with the newer versions? [08:52] how can I know which IPs are connected to my PC? (through http or whatever else?) [08:52] So that if you have it set to WiFi and then plug in a cable on a different location, it doesn't firewall? [08:52] Daremonai¬ get Etherape [08:52] русско гаварящие есть? [08:52] Daremonai: man netstat [08:52] !ru | bodya [08:52] bodya: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [08:52] Daremonai¬ sudo apt-get install etherape [08:52] legend2440: I use the same config in hardy and intrepid [08:52] waan: do you know the size of your swap and how much memory you have? [08:52] its just a front end to the iptables stuff Parsec300 could be it just dosent have that ability. There are other firewalling front ends that may. [08:53] jim_p: it's a segmentation fault (it was built with glibc 2.1); it also gave me stack dump, but that's not relevant now [08:53] waan: is there no program that can keep on running? [08:53] whats a good size for my root partition? [08:53] on line 10 I give a list for the unknown ranges so if someone connects to my network they use that range, the known wireless is from 22 on up and everything wireless is from 40 and up [08:53] Ok, so iptables is the actual firewall? dr_willis [08:53] forestpixie: do you have both hardy and intrepid installed? [08:53] !firewall | Parsec300 [08:53] Parsec300: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [08:53] jim_p: that way i have the ability to define the options better when installing the ip tables [08:53] su3180: can you show me that? [08:53] dr_willis, thanks. I'll look into it. [08:54] Daremonai: man wait [08:54] Parsec300, theres aso the ufw and a front end to ufw commands now. [08:54] Daremonai: sorry, man watch [08:54] jim_p: the stack dump? [08:54] dr_willis, ok thanks. [08:54] paul68: sure. is it just me or you could have used static ips and do the same? [08:54] legend2440: yes [08:54] favro: yeah, 512mb shared memory, swap is 1gb [08:54] waan: thanks [08:54] forestpixie: ok thanks [08:55] su3180: all that you can get from the terminal [08:55] favro: 70% usage by programs, 30% as cache [08:55] jim_p: well I use static ip for all the machines just for the unknown users its from 50 -60 [08:55] waan: well that should be fine - you need more swap then mem for suspend/resume afaik [08:56] paul68: so your network is not constant. ok then [08:56] whats a good size for my root partition? [08:56] favro: yeah it should be ok, i'll check my swap size again to make sure its 1gb [08:56] waan: why you made a swap of 1GB? [08:56] [0x8352d5d] [08:56] [0xb7f72420] [08:56] [0x82b754f] [08:56] [0x81c46d6] [08:56] [0x8234443] [08:56] su3180: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:57] waan: oh your running vbox? i see [08:57] !vbox [08:57] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [08:57] forestpixie: one more question. do you have your /home on a seperate partition that you share with both hardy and intrepid? or does each have its own /home folder? [08:57] jim_p: ok thanx [08:57] jim_p: well most of the times it's the same users however when people ask me to fix their computer I hook that up to my network and then it should be getting an ip in the range 50 -60 with limited access on the firewall [08:57] Uplink: not right now, but it sucks up all my ram and swap when I do. Haven't used it for ages, but I just made a 1gb swap from the start [08:57] what's /tmp/orbit-USER ? [08:57] Mr_Polite: The problem isn't the format of the question, but the lack of a question. "Can someone help me?" isn't really a useful question. [08:58] waan: how much RAM? [08:58] legend2440: I have seperate home - both using - not that I would endorse it [08:58] Uplink: I have 512mb shared, 128 taken for video [08:58] waan: ouch... [08:58] hi, I am trying to edit a conkyrc file that I copied from someone else and whenever I run conky it hides the icons on my desktop. doies anyone know what I could change to make it not hide my icons?

[09:00] marc_, conky+gnome requires some special options/work - the conky homepage has a lot of info on getting it working with differetn window managers [09:00] Uplink: hibernation works like a charm, just not suspend [09:00] waan: same... suspend or hib [09:00] su3180: i cant say an exact solution, but i am sure that if you make an sl of the current glibc where the game expects to find it, you will be gine [09:00] *fine [09:01] waan: sometimes wouldnt even suspend... lol and i had to shut my pc off [09:01] legend2440: I wouldn't recommend sharing it, my home only has configs now anyway, data kept elsewhere - next time I'm fidkking about my seperate home will go and I'll just backup the configs when I clean install === LFC|Doppp is now known as Doppp [09:01] hey peeps... does anyone know why I would get this error:'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied [09:01] You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share. [09:01] neither would i legend2440 [09:01] jim_p: thanks only thing I'm not quiet certain about is mentioning the routers and eth cards in the dhcp config, but if this is to your opinion no problem I'm willing to give it a go when the time is right :-) some where late at night when the wife is sleeping or out working :-) [09:01] forestpixie: ok thanks again [09:01] ok thanks dr willis Ill check that out some more. [09:01] jim_p: hmm... that I have not tried; 10x man ;) [09:02] I was trying to share a folder on a network [09:02] Uplink: that happens everytime, instead of waking up it just sits there with the lights on, have to power it off [09:02] jim_p: another technicality is how to connect back to my server is I should run into problems and need to replace the new config with the old ones [09:02] waan: same here... it used to do that... [09:02] does anyone know where i can find that glib (or package that contains it) that su3180 asked?? [09:02] jim_p: is= if [09:03] Uplink: well, intrepid might fix the problem [09:03] waan: i dont have the problem no more [09:03] nobody?? [09:03] paul68: i am sorry, no idea about that last one [09:03] is there a good alternative to the wifi support in 8.04? I'm running a dell mini 9, and it can't seem to remember my wifi password. [09:04] jim_p: no problem thanks anyways [09:04] Tybear241083: go to System > Administration > Users and Groups and make sure you are part of the netshare group [09:04] EdLin: what exactly u need? [09:04] ziroday: thanks I will try that [09:04] sorry... I'm a bit of a noob..lol [09:04] Uplink: wifi support that remembers WPA passwords. [09:04] I am having a problem installing xubuntu on to a PIII, installs OS but hangs at boot repeatdly [09:05] EdLin: use Networkmanager, it comes by default with ubuntu [09:05] joaquinm: I am [09:05] EdLin: nm-applet [09:05] ushills: ask in #xubuntu [09:05] as far as I know, I'm using the network manager applet. [09:05] EdLin: it does remember passes [09:05] it doesn't here. [09:05] okay thanks [09:05] EdLin: ok since everyone said network manager, i say the oposite. avoid that piece of junk at all consts. use wicd [09:05] EdLin: i wouldnt be connected if it didnt [09:06] what's wicd? [09:06] EdLin: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ [09:06] !wicd [09:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd [09:06] can I apt-get it? [09:06] why is not on the repo? [09:07] EdLin: there are instructions on the page. it has an ubuntu repo you must add [09:07] Will 8.10 be able to mount UFS partitions without recompiling of kernel? [09:07] question about packeges: I have "ffmpeg (3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3)". I need "ffmpeg (3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3+unstripped4) intrepid;" [09:07] does anyone knows how to share internet and limit the bandwidth ? im already using cbq.init and it works it limit the bandwidth per ip, but i was wondering if there is a way to limit the bandwidth to X amount and if there is unused bandwidth to increase the limit, anyone knows an script or app or something ? [09:07] jim_p: thanks [09:07] I have added "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/motumedia/ubuntu intrepid main" [09:07] Hi [09:08] Algyz: ask in #ubuntu+1 [09:08] What are the original settings for ~/.local/share/Trash/files? [09:08] ziroday: ubuntu+1 is asleep [09:08] wolfie2x: well then stay and wait :), you should also ask your question there [09:08] consider as a general q on packages [09:08] ups, not settings, but permissions [09:09] wolfie2x: its intrepid specific, please ask there and read the channel topics [09:09] please [09:10] nickoe: rwx permissions for the owner only [09:10] okay [09:10] joaquinm: ipchains might be what you are after. [09:10] waan: ohh kewl thx man [09:11] joaquinm: I think it's based on ip_firewall for freebsd [09:11] waan: do you know any good site that could help me ? [09:11] ziroday, ahh, that helped! Thank you very much [09:11] joaquinm: sorry no [09:11] waan: ok, now i know what to look for :) [09:11] !net usershare [09:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about net usershare [09:12] !msgthebot > Tybear241083 [09:12] Tybear241083, please see my private message [09:12] joaquinm: actually I think ipchains is only a routing tool, it might not limit speeds [09:12] waan: yeah im reading something right now :( [09:13] bye all [09:13] i tought cbq.init could do it [09:13] but i dont know if i have something wrong cause it doesnt works as i want [09:13] joaquinm: So do you want to limit each ip to a certain speed? [09:13] waan: yeah, already have it working [09:14] waan: but i want to like break the limits on certain rules [09:14] ziroday: thanks for that. but if someone else had not done that on the public channel I would not have known about it. but whatever.... [09:14] hi [09:14] waan: for example if i have an ip with a 256k limit and my total bandwidth is 1mbit and nobodyelse is using the internet i want to increase that limit [09:14] joaquinm: hmm you might be on your own there, maybe write a script or something [09:15] waan: donno if that's possible tho [09:15] #ubuntu [09:15] Tybear241083: did you check if you were part of that group?

I will do that. [09:16] waan: yeah that suxs :( hahaha [09:17] can i know how can i install vlc player in ubuntu [09:17] ??? [09:17] ask then leave.. :) [09:17] lol [09:17] i also can use iptables and tc to limit the bandwidth thats not a problem, the problem is to break those limits on fly [09:17] dr_willis: most irritating [09:17] wanglei [09:17] couldn't figure out how to add/remove ?

[09:19] waan: yeah im trying to code something for that, still figuring things out [09:19] thank you! [09:19] holymoo: yah of course [09:20] joaquinm: ubuntu is from africa, im from central america === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [09:20] it was rare to see chinese visitors and indian visitors in the past [09:20] those countries are heavily resistant to non windows anything [09:20] ubuntu is addictive [09:20] not really, im sure we have a lot from those places right now [09:20] 'redwall linux' [09:20] but they type in english [09:20] i'd never go back to loosedows [09:21] waan: actually linux is addictive [09:21] waan: i only use ubuntu in 1 of my pcs [09:21] joaquinm: yeah I have archlinux which I really love too, in the process of setting up gnome on it [09:21] joaquinm: having some trouble with the wpa_supplicant though [09:21] waan: oh boy arch, i dont like it, is like ubuntu too much bin packages for me [09:21] its just that in those two countries windows is basically free because of 'piracy'. gaining brainshare in such an environment is an impressive feat [09:22] especially with no budget [09:22] has anyone managed to run tremulous ? [09:22] waan: i was slack user long time ago, but switched to gentoo [09:22] its cool to see [09:22] tomato on the router [09:22] joaquinm: I used to use freebsd and i favour the linux package manager to ports now [09:22] emilien: what is the problem? [09:22] emilien, i have in the past... that game makes me so dizzy i puke [09:22] Ok, im too tired to scroll [09:22] * Spets going to bed [09:22] Spets: nn man [09:22] joaquinm: whats gentoo like compared to ubuntu? [09:22] ziroday, here is problem http://pastebin.com/m54dd4bff [09:23] waan: roughly a week [09:23] hmmm like 3 times faster hehe [09:23] lol [09:23] dr_willis, once you get pased the puking it great game [09:23] waan, about like one of those 'build your own motocycle kits, vs actually walking into the dealership and buying one' :) [09:23] thats how long it takes to compile everything from source [09:23] joaquinm: i love ubuntu live cd [09:23] emilien, i never got that far. ;) the fisheye+wallcrawling killed me [09:23] dr_willis: so its like arch then, dyi? [09:23] emilien: did you press ctrl + c in the terminal whilst waiting for the game to start? [09:23] waan, gentoo is proberly more DIY then arch. [09:24] waan: its a great live cd, i allways use it to install gentoo lol [09:24] dr_willis: wow crazy I thought it was pre-made desktop sort of thing [09:24] waan: to start with gentoo you first need some free time [09:24] waan, gentoo premade? No... sabayon is a bit of gentoo-prebuilt a little.. [09:24] waan: cause compile monsters like gnome xorg and open-office [09:24] takes some time [09:24] Hey guys, just updated, running nvidia-glx-177 package. Core temp of gfx card 8400M is now average of 62 degrees. Seems quite hot especially with no extra settings enabled. Any clues [09:24] ziroday, no , the game starts and is fine then it turns buggy and i have to kill from tty [09:25] the thing that i like from gentoo is customzation [09:25] joaquinm: ohh god compiling [09:25] emilien: ah right, then how is it buggy? [09:25] beilabs: are you using intrepid? [09:25] waan: and of course the performance to have an os 100% from source [09:25] ziroday, aye, no-one active in #ubuntu+1 [09:25] joaquinm: yeah true, but i'll happy to give that up for easyness [09:25] beilabs: you just have to wait :) [09:25] beilabs: maybe the card is in 3D mode? (Compiz enabled?) [09:26] i would like to see some benchmarks proving that source is faster.... and by how much. [09:26] waan: at this time my gentoo has everything that ubuntu has, talking about easyness hehe [09:26] ziroday, it turns blue you can only see backgound menu is unsable black boxes pop up kinda a nightmare [09:26] waan: but man, if i ever need to install linux on a new computer, ill choose ubuntu [09:26] Nvidiot, nope, no compiz [09:26] joaquinm: I spent way too much time compiling in freebsd to like it anymore [09:26] emilien: what graphics card and are you running compiz at the time? [09:26] waan: takes no more than 20 mins to have everything up and runing [09:26] joaquinm: yeah [09:26] waan: well with gentoo you only need to compile the first day [09:27] waan: after a while you get some experience [09:27] ziroday, yes , let me try with out [09:27] waan: but you know, i gave an ubuntu cd copy to all my friends so they can test it [09:27] waan: and right now like 75% of them are using linux [09:27] ziroday, ok , surprise surprise work now. [09:27] Nvidiot, switched over to metacity [09:28] joaquinm: great [09:28] waan: i would never give gentoo minimal install to a friend that doesnt know anything of linux, he will cry and throw the cd to the thrascan hahahah [09:28] joaquinm: my friends are stubborn win fanboys, too bad for them [09:28] beilabs: hmm, well, the card being in 3D mode would explain the temps. Windows puts it in 2D-slow mode to keep the temps down for the desktop [09:28] emilien: yeah, compiz has that effect on games especially with not as powerful graphics cards . You should disable it before playing a game [09:28] ziroday, it s a shame to turn compriz of every time i play can i do it automatically? [09:28] joaquinm: not to mention he won't ever like linux again :) [09:29] Nvidiot, any idea how I could turn it into 2d slow mode? [09:29] beilabs: you could look at the driver options, but I don't know how to do it exactly [09:29] emilien: you can write a script that does it for you [09:29] Nvidiot: exactly hehehe [09:30] ziroday, can you guide me though it ? [09:30] Does anybody know of some problems which cause suspend to not wake up? [09:30] Nvidiot, will do, going to try it out now [09:30] thx [09:30] Can I use a bot with pidgin? [09:30] Virus: what do you mean by "use a bot"? [09:31] emilien: sure but it can be complicated, do you have any experience bash scripting? [09:31] Virus: that is not ubuntu related question [09:31] yes [09:31] becose is for pidgin [09:31] ubuntu->pidgin [09:31] well [09:31] ;) [09:31] Virus: pidgin is an opensource program, not just for ubuntu [09:31] those are 2 different things hahahah [09:31] ziroday, not really [09:31] Virus: you can set an away message i think [09:31] I am using ubuntu 8.04 LTS [09:31] Virus: you dont need pidgin for an irc bot [09:31] emilien: okay, can you open up a new text file [09:32] Virus: you could make your own eggy with python, is really easy [09:32] Virus: if you want a boot, look at the eggdrop module, megahal [09:32] ziroday, ok [09:32] emilien: and at the top add the line "#!/bin/bash" which basically defines the file as a script [09:32] hi there. I am running hardy in virtualbox under windows because of broken intel drivers. I managed to access my _whole_ disk from inside the virtual machine, and I have to say ubuntu works really, really great that way. The only thing I had to do is to change xorg.conf. Do you know of a way of choosing which xorg.conf to use depending on being runned into virtualbox or not? [09:32] ziroday: thats not true [09:32] okay [09:32] emilien: underneath that add the line "metacity --replace &" which means you close compiz [09:32] I go to see [09:32] ziroday: you could even run a script without that line [09:33] joaquinm: its the simplified version :) [09:33] thanks for the wicd advice [09:33] Le-Chuck_ITA: maybe bash script that checks first? [09:33] greetings [09:33] ziroday: the #!/bin/bash line its only to tell where to run the things [09:33] Le-Chuck_ITA: and replaced the xorg as needed [09:33] I couldn [09:33] emilien: then underneath that line add the games name, which in this case is tremelous [09:33] waan: yes but how do I detect that I am inside vbox? Perhaps from /proc/cpuinfo? [09:33] i just upgraded my hardy to ibex pre0release [09:33] I have installed, and now? [09:33] eggdrop [09:33] whisperer: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks [09:34] cant change screen resolution [09:34] Le-Chuck_ITA: something like that, there would be multiple ways to check, not too sure myself though [09:34] I couldn't install from the repository, btw, I had to use the raw deb. [09:34] k, thx [09:34] waan: ok cpuinfo is as usual :) [09:34] emilien: finally underneath that add the line "compiz --replace & disown" which restarts compiz when the game is finished. After doing all that save the file [09:34] waan: vbox does a great job [09:35] emilien: you still with me? [09:35] Virus: Go to #eggdrop for eggdrop help. [09:35] ziroday, yes =) [09:35] hi folks - anyone tried to install ubuntu on a macbook pro? I can't seem to get the boot selector to recognize the ubuntu partition after installing... [09:35] suggestions on how to detect being runned inside virtualbox anyone? [09:35] You need to be identified to join that channe [09:36] I cant [09:36] Le-Chuck_ITA: what? [09:36] emilien: great go to where you saved the file, right click it go to permissions and tick the box that says "Allow Executing the file as a program" [09:36] Virus: that means that you need to register your nickname, then identify with nickserver then log in [09:36] emilien: sorry right click, go to properties and then permissions [09:36] <_terror_> hi all! [09:36] ziroday, ok done [09:36] Dynetrekk, try using a boot camp partition, or use refi(something) which is an alternate booter for EFI [09:37] emilien: double click the file and hit run, it all should work :) [09:37] EdLin: I partitoned in Boot Camp, and reformatted that partiton with ubuntu installer [09:37] how to share file between OSX and 8.04 [09:37] ay^: I run the same ubuntu installation under virtualbox and bare hardware and I want to detect this at boot [09:37] ziroday, done! works nicely thanks [09:37] roy_: nfs [09:37] is there a command line tool in ibex that can configure X from scratch? [09:37] EdLin: but, afterwards, there is no ubuntu partition, and it does not mount in OS X either. [09:37] ay^: (because xorg.conf needs to be changed) [09:37] Dynetrekk, refi, forgot the rest of the name, might be required. [09:37] <_terror_> Hi fucking guys! :) [09:37] emilien: and whenever you want to run the game just double click it and hit run :) [09:38] !language | _terror_ [09:38] _terror_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [09:38] EdLin: it's rEFIt. and, I found installation instructions which supposedly don't require rEFIt [09:38] jim_p: 8.04 had taken away the share folder in Administration [09:38] Dynetrekk, well, appparently those instructions aren [09:38] EdLin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro [09:38] a guy from russin cursing, i love it :) [09:38] nt working for you [09:38] *russia [09:39] <_terror_> Ñëûøü ÷òî ëü, òóò ðóññêèå åñòü? [09:39] Dynetrekk, thought of running it in Virtualbox? [09:39] EdLin: apparently :-) you suggest I install rEFIt instead? I don't feel particularly inclined to, though.

Virtualbox is open source? [09:39] yes [09:39] <_terror_> Russia is cool )) USA suck [09:39] lol [09:39] EdLin: how would you go about doing it? and will it be slow? [09:39] I don't want to install ubuntu for the 5th time today, can someone help me? [09:40] Rufus: what's the matter? [09:40] how to do simple file sharing between 8.04 and OSX [09:40] <_terror_> Is this fucking channel? [09:40] roy_: you can use samba [09:40] fast, as far as I know. I do the same sort of thing with VMWare. [09:40] roy_: how simple? USB key?

[09:41] Hi, have try right click but OSX cannot see and computer [09:41] Rufus: then watch the X log under /var/log/Xorg.0.log [09:41] <_terror_> Hi fucking guys :) [09:41] Dynetrekk, VMWare can devote an entire core or two just to the vm, I think VB can do the same. [09:41] lol [09:41] EdLin: okay, sound good... [09:41] im sure he dont even know what the f word means, por guy [09:41] having a problem with my wireless, not all access points show up in an iwlist scan [09:42] i'm using madwifi drivers [09:42] EdLin: I mainly wanted to install ubuntu as a double boot install in case it turned out to be more useful [09:42] I created a raid array, added it to /etc/fstab with the "users" option so everyone can mount it. This works, however, I still cannot write to the mountpoint as a regular user. How to I fix that? === starscalling is now known as nekostar [09:42] EdLin: than mac os X, I mean. but I don' think it's really necessary. [09:42] i can connect to other access points [09:42] EdLin: I figured it would be cleaner than virtualization [09:42] Dynetrekk, actually, OS X can run most Unix software... [09:42] EdLin: I know [09:42] damagednoob: whats your wifi card ? [09:43] Hey, could anyone please help me write subscript in oo.o presentation? [09:43] Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [09:43] EdLin: that, and the nice user interface, is the motivation for buying it :) [09:43] damagednoob: what you did to install it ?? are you using madwifi or ndiswrapper ? [09:43] hey how do i set up an alias to grep files in a certain directory? want to automatically grep files in a directory for a certain word, like when i type: rsource hell;o i want it to grep files in my ruby source directory for files containing the word hello [09:44] Buyydee: format - font:) [09:44] a good motivation, I have two computers, a dell mini running ubuntu, and a mac mini running os x. :) [09:44] @Le-Chuck_ITA: I tried Le-Chuck_ITA: dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg but it kept looping at the keyboard options [09:44] EdLin: did you install ubuntu on the mac? [09:44] rofl _terror_ is banned from #gentoo too lol [09:44] no, only as a vm instance for a while. [09:44] joaquinm, i downloaded the latest snapshot from madwifi homepage and installed it [09:44] EdLin: and a VM instance is what? a disk image file? [09:45] Rufus: what do you mean with kept looping? In any case, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see what the true error is [09:45] jussi01: you mean go to the main toolbar, there format? I have no font menu in there... [09:45] damagednoob: man if you can connect to a wirless router or any other access point, i really dont know whats going on with your card [09:45] Dynetrekk, I mean a VMWare image file or something, my terminology isn [09:45] damagednoob: what security has that access point ? [09:45] Buyydee: sorry, hink its character... [09:45] n't precise. (Did I tell you I hate this keyboard?) [09:45] EdLin: okay, point being, ubuntu is stored in a single file on your Mac, or similar [09:45] no partition etc [09:45] joaquinm, none [09:45] yes [09:46] jussi01: no, neither [09:46] @ Le-Chuck_ITA: no screens found [09:46] joaquinm, same as my one [09:46] seems heaps of people get "no screens found" after installing nvidia drivers [09:46] Buyydee: you are on open office writer? [09:46] I have a boot camp partition with Windows, and it runs under VMWare too. [09:47] damagednoob: so what's exactly the problem ??? you cant see it right ? [09:47] EdLin: so you can have a boot camp partition, with the other OS, and run it from VMWare? [09:47] Buyydee: in open office writer, go to format, character, postition [09:47] damagednoob: if is that, you should check if the access point is broadcasting the eesid [09:47] EdLin: I think this sounds cleaner than installing ubuntu inside OS X [09:47] joaquinm: yeah, i can connect to my neighbour's unsecured wireless, but i can't see or connect to mine [09:47] for windows, I could run it in a normal vmware file. [09:47] jussi01: no, presentation. but I found one in 'position' right now.. but it seems I have to go through several menus to have a subscript character. that's really not the method of choice for a chemical presentation. can you make a keybind? [09:48] joaquinm: it is broadcasting, i have a another pc here that can see it and connect to it fine [09:48] damagednoob: what are you using to scan the wifi nodes ? [09:48] joaquinm: iwlist scan [09:48] Dynetrekk, installing ubuntu in a vm program is a simple proceedure. simpler than boot camp. [09:48] joaquinm: and wicd [09:48] Rufus: are there other lines that start with (EE)? [09:48] Rufus→ support for the 8.10 beta only in #ubuntu+1 plz [09:48] these are errors [09:48] EdLin: okay... might try that then [09:48] how do I setup pulseaudio to stream sound to another lan box (both are hardy) [09:48] Rufus: I have to go in any case [09:48] bye all [09:48] I created a raid array, added it to /etc/fstab with the "users" option so everyone can mount it. This works, however, I still cannot write to the mountpoint as a regular user. How to I fix that? [09:49] (EE) No devices detected [09:49] damagednoob: could you paste the output of iwlist scan plz ? [09:49] Buyydee: I thought there was one, just cant find it now. :( [09:49] http://pastebin.com/d3e1f84ab [09:49] joaquinm: d-link is my neighbour's router [09:50] I'm searching too, considering I have to write about 200 subscripts in that presentation :D [09:50] joaquinm: mine is called testing and doesn't show up [09:50] is there a channel for wine issues ? [09:51] damagednoob: are you 100% that is called testing ? [09:51] damagednoob: if you card cant see it, try setting it manually [09:51] /join #winehq [09:51] joaquinm: yeah, i can see it on another pc here [09:52] jussi01: I found it :) normally it's ctrl-shift-B, but you can change it [09:52] odd: #winehq [09:52] Buyydee: excellent. :) [09:53] jussi01: thank you for your help [09:53] hello. I use ubuntu in greek. I install the Anjuta for development but it is on greek this too. howw I could install only this package in english? [09:54] krekon: try switchin your system language to english and install anjuta again [09:54] hello [09:54] joaquinm I want to keep greek on my system [09:55] if I want to adapt the linux kernel, what's better: compiling from the tarball of the package linux-source or compiling from what I get with apt-get source? [09:55] can anybody help about how to solve the veoh problem in linux? [09:55] yeah after you install the app, switch to gree again, and check if the app dont switch to greek [09:56] mahesh: virtualization and shared folders between host and quest os. best solution so far [09:57] jim_p: i didn't get you...!! i'm asking about the video files download... [09:58] Hi the only way my wifi card will work with ubuntu now that I have it installed is WEP Hex encryption... however my 2 other roomates windows laptops dont have the option for WEP so what do i do? [09:59] i found the solution for that is, change the format of the file and then download!! but, it is not working for the heavy size files!! [09:59] rogan: wep is the most common crypto, surely the suport it [09:59] rogan: they* [10:00] kurviiiiii [10:00] mahesh: oh, then look at veohproxy [10:00] My firends HP Graingert only has the option for wpa type settings [10:00] mahesh: command line only but it does the job [10:01] rogan: I have HP laptop wep works fine [10:01] rogan: are they using windows to manage wireless, or some crappy "came with the card" wireless manager? [10:02] rogan: windows suports wep out of the box... [10:02] I need a recommendation for a firewall gui. Likeness to zonealarm (in easiness) i s preferred :) [10:02] jim_p: i found that in the firefox add-ons!!! but, it is not working!! do you know the download solution? [10:02] !firewall | graingert [10:02] graingert: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [10:02] what_if: firestarter is a gui for iptables the built in linux firewall [10:02] graingert, theres also ufw and the gui front ends for that. [10:02] get link connection greek ubuntu server? [10:02] graingert: I know... [10:02] oops wrong nick.. :) sorry [10:03] jim_p: is firestarter fairly simple or would guarddog be better ? [10:03] what_if: firestarter firewalls kill samba [10:03] what_if, why do you even need a firewall? [10:03] what_if: do NOT use firestarte [10:03] hi [10:03] what_if: i have not used guarddog [10:03] i want connection greek ubuntu server [10:03] what_if: you only need a firewall if you need to ristrict the network behind you [10:04] krekon, you haven't "installed" anjuta in english. you installed it in all possible languages. you can switch a language if you run the program this way: LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 anjuta [10:04] windoes has people trained to think that everyone 'needs' a firewall. :) [10:04] dr_willis: i end up goin to a lot of lan parties and LUG meetups [10:04] anyone has any knowledge how to solve a problem, that root doesn't ask the password on Ubuntu 8.04? [10:04] help i wand connection ubuntu server? [10:04] what_if, so? :) [10:04] what_if: how can they hack you if you don't open ports on apps...? [10:04] dr_willis: lots of script kiddies ;) [10:05] !root | z80ASM [10:05] z80ASM: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [10:05] what_if: put ssh on a different port [10:05] or just turn off sshd :) [10:05] dr_willis: what_if even better [10:05] there is a password. [10:05] in some programs it asks it, in some it doesn't. [10:05] z80ASM→ you mean, for sudo? [10:05] yes. [10:06] z80ASM→ sudo will chache your password for a few minutes. [10:06] sudo is aksing for the user-password not the root-password [10:06] what_if: linux firewalls only make sense for network administrators to make a network firewall to block things like games etc from windows boxes [10:06] z80ASM→ i mean "cache" [10:06] what_if: so absolutely no need in a lan gaming party!! [10:06] yes I know, but in Ubuntu 8.04 root has same password as the user === GM-Cosmo_PW is now known as Cosmo [10:07] z80ASM: it really doesn't [10:07] hey guys -- my screen res is stuck at 800x600 after udate&upgrade -- heres my current xorg: http://pastebin.com/f7f36f40d -- my nvidia graphic drivers say they are in use but the enabled box is not ticked, ive tried ticking it and rebooting with no joy [10:07] it does. [10:07] atleast on me. [10:07] graingert: how about at a lan party where more than one person in studying or has a CEH certification, lol [10:07] z80ASM, no its not.. unless you set a root password. [10:07] Sysinfo for 'qqq-desktop': Linux 2.6.24-21-generic running KDE 3.5.10, CPU: Intel(R)Pentium(R)4CPU2.60GHz at 2612 MHz (5229 bogomips), , RAM: 750/757MB, 119 proc's, 1.2d up [10:07] I set my password to *censored*. [10:07] z80ASM, so it dosent matter then. :) [10:07] then I typed sudo and it asked for the *censored*. [10:07] but now, the sudo has stopped working. [10:07] z80ASM: yes that is how sudo works [10:07] i wont connection ubuntu greek servers [10:07] and my browser doesn't type in the new URL. [10:08] z80ASM, indeed. but this is not the _root_ password. stop talking nonsense [10:08] z80ASM: sudo asks for your own password not the root one; that is the point [10:08] like if I use Firefox, I type in some address. [10:08] if you are a user and use sudo.. it wants the users password.. 'su - ' would want the root uusers password. [10:08] then I go to some link. [10:08] !enter | z80ASM [10:08] z80ASM: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:08] what_if: trust us, you really don't need one [10:08] it stays the same. [10:09] what_if: what servers do you have listening on what ports? [10:09] z80ASM→ sudo *caches* your password, so if you type it in once you will not have to type if for the next 5 minutes [10:09] z80ASM→ maybe it's not 5 minutes. but for some time. [10:09] so, anyone knows how to solve the problem, that my browser doesn't refresh the URL like in YouTube if I search for something the URL bar says still YouTube's normal URL. [10:09] z80ASM: unless you use sudo -K [10:10] magnetron: OK, I just thought it might be dangerous like, if someone would get into my system. [10:10] Has anyone experienced that the fan is constantly running after upgrading to Intrepid?? [10:10] z80ASM: go to moznet.... [10:10] mmh, ok... [10:10] atle_: go to ubuntu+1 [10:10] z80ASM: also you can set sudo not to cache [10:10] graingert, how? [10:10] question: mail to root will be forwarded to the first user that's created by default? [10:11] z80ASM: check out your /etc/sudoers list [10:11] graingert: you want the whole list? all on default ports: mysqld sshd ipp [10:11] OK, I'm currently on Windows, so I'll switch to Ubuntu soon. [10:11] Well, off to Ubuntu now. -> [10:12] what_if: the most they can do is try to break your ssh password; print to your printers and try and crack your mysql password [10:12] what_if: with ssh, use public key authentication rather than passwords; and make sure your mysql and ipp password is secure; you really have no need for a firewall [10:13] host auth for mysql [10:13] what_if: allso put ssh on an alternate port or just switch off all of your deamons [10:13] join #ubuntu-pl [10:13] what_if: (that you don't need) [10:13] what_if: check out (google: securing ssh) [10:14] graingert: will do. tyvm :) [10:14] how do I set apt-get to use universe etc without using the GUI? [10:15] compton: read your /etc/apt/source.list it will tell you (un comment a bunch of lines) [10:15] compton: edit /etc/apt/sources.list manually [10:15] *sources* [10:15] hola folks [10:15] thanks [10:15] presumably it's possible to rd from ubuntu to vista? [10:16] can't find /etc/sudoers [10:16] thcmonkey, Huh? [10:16] * Verdelicious falls out of her chair when she sees how many people are in this room [10:16] where you can set the cache time for sudo, anyone knows? [10:16] --> /etc/sudoers [10:17] dr_willis i want to take remote control of my vista machine from ubuntu machine [10:17] the sudoers man page mentions the cache i recall. [10:17] thcmonkey, i tend touse vnc for that. [10:17] z80ASM: you need to be root to edit it [10:18] z80ASM: for obvious reasons :-p [10:18] graingert: thanks. [10:18] Anyone have an understanding of the bug(s) where gnome locks up and I can't launch any new applications, requiring a reboot? [10:18] timestamp_timeout [10:18] - setting contrlls the timeout of the sudo cache. [10:18] what the... /etc/sudoers: command not found [10:18] thcmonkey: use vinegre should be installed by defauls [10:18] z80ASM: you need to EDIT it not RUN it [10:18] sudo apt-get install vnc (?) [10:18] thcmonkey: it's installed already [10:19] graingert sorry, typed before read [10:19] thcmonkey: (on hardy) [10:19] graingert: like how? [10:19] what's the ubuntu live cd root password? [10:19] !editor | z80ASM [10:19] z80ASM: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [10:19] sudo visudo [10:19] compton: that mostly happens with a bad burn - it shouldn't ask [10:19] be VERY carefull when editing the sudoers file. :) [10:20] favro: what password do I use to login to ssh? [10:20] I sure will. [10:20] thcmonkey: Applictations -> internet -> remote desktop somthing [10:20] compton: the password of the account you're logging into [10:20] !code [10:20] Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, eclipse, netbeans, pida [10:20] lol yeah I got that far but by default doesn't seem to let me connect [10:21] ByteJuggler, root on the live cd [10:21] I've found something on a forum though so thank you [10:21] Anyone happen to know if my T8100 intel core2 duo processor counts as a 32-bit processor? [10:21] vnc-server [10:21] thcmonkey: np [10:21] try tight vnc if that fails [10:21] compton: root's account is locked on ubuntu, it does not have a password [10:21] compton: specify a user for ssh [10:21] compton: you should have set that up yourself [10:21] ByteJuggler, wow === Zaphod is now known as Guest37566 [10:21] compton: e.g. [10:21] ByteJuggler, what's the syntax to create a user? [10:21] neeka:you should only use x86_64 [10:21] compton: ssh user@host [10:21] I got the file opened, but it says this file must be edited with the 'visudo' command as root. Then I typed visudo /etc/sudoers to terminal and it gave usage -c, -q -s, -V and -f sudoers, so what do I do? [10:22] compton, sudo adduser billgates [10:22] :) [10:22] thanks [10:22] graingert: thank you [10:22] neeka: but it will pretend to be a 32bit un [10:22] z80ASM, its a system file.. it MUST be editied as root.. thus use sudo sudoers [10:22] compton: sudo adduser billgames will add a machine to the local machine (liveCD if that's what you're booted from) [10:22] sudo visudo [10:22] oops typio.. :) my bad. [10:22] neeka: in backwards compat mode; but 64bit softy is mostly better on 64bit processer [10:22] z80ASM, of course that will use vi as the editor I think. :) [10:23] compton: compton: that's not very useful. If you're trying to ssh into another machine on your network, from a livecd boot, then just use ssh user@host [10:23] yes, uses vi, but what do I edit now? [10:23] z80ASM: you probalby want to use sudo gedit /etc/sudoers [10:23] graingert: so it is a true 64bit processor? [10:23] neeka: yes [10:23] z80ASM, from the 'man sudoers' pages - the option was timestamp_timeout [10:23] graingert: great, thanks for the help [10:23] neeka: I am pretty sure that all IC2D use 64bit [10:23] neeka: if you want to run the codecs for windows fileformats you may want to stick with 32-bit, as far as I know they don't work with the 64-bit version [10:24] dr_willis, there's no timestamp_timeout text in the whole sudoers. ;P [10:24] how do I login in a nested window in Ubuntu 8.04? [10:24] neeka: if you are okay with a bit of dubius legalaty the x64 is fine [10:24] hi everybody, i need some help about buying a graphic card... anybody could give an advice to me for which irc channel is good for that kinda chat? [10:24] oh, I maybe got it now [10:24] z80ASM, so? add one.. logical eh? theres 100000+ options NOT listed in that file... [10:25] ByteJuggler, I don't understand why I'd use ssh user@host. I'm using putty anyway [10:25] z80ASM: have a look around on the net for sudo info [10:25] creating a new user worked [10:25] sudo and sudoers is dicuussed in many web sites/forums I recall. === ntinos__ is now known as ntinos_ [10:26] how do I login in a nested window in 8.04? [10:26] dr_willis: yes because it is such a difficult call to get it secure and user friendly [10:26] compton: OK if you're trying to ssh into your LiveCD booted machine, then you should try to connect to user "ubuntu" iirc, which is the user being used by the LiveCD boot [10:26] Hi, anyone know where I can get help about evolution? I've got some question about tasks and also gmail interaction... [10:26] lee1: have a look at properties of fast user switcher, and install xnest [10:26] you should probably set a password first [10:26] ive seen a lot of 'discussions/flamewars' on if sudo caching the password is good/bad/acceptable.. :) I dont seeit as being much of a security issue [10:26] graingert: thanks [10:27] Theres more to 'sudo' then just the command you tupe to do 'rooty things' [10:27] :) [10:27] this sounds so easy, but isn't [10:27] there is no #evolution channel afaik... [10:27] compton: you'd also probably have to install openssh-server first [10:27] ByteJuggler, done [10:27] compton: what are you trying to do exactly? [10:27] does anyone know how to get the text to appear in google-earth? [10:28] z80ASM, you are being paranoid about the wrong things I think... basically you add the line 'timestamp_timeout [10:28] 0 ' to that file. [10:28] ByteJuggler, remote control my other computer [10:28] oops 'timestamp_timeout 0' [10:28] to where in the file? [10:28] just to the bottom? [10:28] z80ASM, at the top i imagine. [10:28] where to the top? [10:28] compton: So are you trying to putty (from Windows) into ... what? [10:28] above the # /etc/sudoers line? [10:28] z80ASM, below the comments.. the file only has lke 4 lines tha tare not comments... [10:29] z80ASM, # is a comment. :) [10:29] hi [10:29] someone has an idea, how to go further with the following issue: i'm using xine to play dvd's, spdif out... mp3's, *ts files are played great, also surround, but i get no sound from the dvd's*! [10:29] It has 1 which isn't a comment. [10:29] Defaults env_reset [10:29] ByteJuggler, computer running ubuntu livecd on the network [10:29] z80ASM, put it whever you want then... and see if it works.. if not move it... [10:29] OK... [10:30] enabling root password.. then worrying about the sudoers time out.. is sort of.. err.. silly [10:30] compton: OK, then what I've said should work -- 1) install open-ssh server, 2) set password for user "ubuntu" or add a new user, 3) putty from windows box using IP address [10:30] hello guys [10:30] hey, I tried to install ubuntu on my MSI wind, I created a bootable flash drive with the installion cd using unetbootin [10:30] anybody using transmission for torrents? [10:30] me [10:30] installed it as I normally do (I wanted it to have dual boot) [10:31] and when I restarted grub just wouldn't show up [10:31] lee1:: oh, have a question [10:31] I added timestamp_timeout 0 to the file, but how to save with Vi? [10:31] it loads windows [10:31] any suggestionfs ? [10:31] sure [10:31] You can't edit with gedit, so what to do with Vi? [10:31] s/fs/s/ [10:31] lee1:: cannot add functionality to it. What I need - is: [10:31] z80ASM, you could of edited it with gedit.. but its BEST to edit that file with visudo [10:31] z80ASM, esc then :wq [10:31] can edit with gedit, but can't save. [10:31] for instance, I have 3 torrents, all of them have to be leeched. I need only one of them to be active in leeching, and two others to be queued [10:32] OK, I pressed esc now. [10:32] now three of them are active [10:32] and that's not good [10:32] z80ASM, because you HAD to run gedit with root permissions.. ie: 'sudo gedit /path/to/file' thats sort of the point of sudo :) [10:32] dr_willis:warning, "visudo" doesn't use vi anymore [10:32] hi there [10:32] it uses nano [10:32] ByteJuggler, it is here on a fresh 8.10 install.. [10:32] do you really need to use visudo? [10:32] so it's ctrl-o, ctrl-x [10:32] is the new edition of ubuntu coming on October 30? [10:32] can't you pause them? [10:32] ByteJuggler, but i do install vim-full.. so it may of changed the default [10:33] dr_willis, it goes to read only -mode. ;P [10:33] ByteJuggler, if he isusing nano.. then he aparently cant read the menus at the bottom eh.. :) [10:33] compton: visudo checks the edits for validity, since breaking sudoers can lock you out of the PC [10:33] you can edit, but saving doesn't work. :P [10:33] compton: hence why they recommend using visudo [10:33] lee1:: yea, I can do it. But.. when the leeching torrents will be finished - I want torrents from queue to start automatically [10:33] compton: to prevent that [10:33] z80ASM, then you started the editor wrong.. 'sudo visudo' is how it should of been started [10:33] it works now. ;P [10:33] dr_willis: ok sorry missed that [10:33] I just edited with vi and pressed esc. ;P [10:33] how can I stop and start the gui from the command line? [10:33] lee1:: it's usuall practice in utorrent(under m$), deluge, azureus... [10:34] maybe you should give other torrent applications a try, i've never needed to do what you're doing so I don't know, maybe you could take a look at Ktorrent [10:34] now it asks password everytime. :) [10:34] Can anyone tell me if the new edition of Ubuntu? coming on October 30.2008 [10:34] z80ASM, and this makes it safer how> :) [10:34] compton: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [10:34] neer, thats the planned date. [10:34] and start [10:34] iirc [10:34] lee1:: ok, I just wanted to use something more lite, than azureus :) [10:34] dr_willis: thats cool [10:34] ok [10:34] dr_willis: thanks for the informatino [10:35] information [10:35] dr_willis: any new thing on that edition? === sad195 is now known as MR === keith is now known as keith0815 [10:35] ByteJuggler, I executed that from ssh with success but nothing happened on the actual pc [10:35] neer, same as last realse.. every thing gets updated.. and lots of tweaks... === keith0815 is now known as keith [10:35] neer, my laptop wireless now works.. :) === MR is now known as Guest16296 [10:36] hey guys i just downloaded the rc interpid ibex and it wont boot (AMD Barton 2800+, 1GB ram, ATI HD2400) ... it gets me to the gdm and there it stops [10:36] dr_willis: ?? [10:36] wer is ir ubuntu?????? [10:36] hmm, what is the server of moznet? [10:36] how do I make the text appear in google earth? [10:36] like, when I type /server *what do I type here to access moznet?*. [10:36] hey, I tried to install ubuntu on my MSI wind, I created a bootable flash drive with the installion cd using unetbootin, installed it as I normally do (I wanted it to have dual boot), and when I restarted grub just wouldn't show up, it loads windows. any suggestions ? [10:36] ایرااااااااااااااااااااااان [10:36] z80ASM:: using firefox + irc plugin? [10:37] compton: let me check ... [10:37] what the heck is .gvfs? [10:37] fukas: oh... I thought I could access with Irssi. xD [10:37] & how do I end a user's session? [10:37] and then only the caps lock led is blinking .. and nothing starts. does anybody know that bug? [10:37] anyone knows where the evolution people hang out? on another server? [10:37] darq, caps lock blinking is a sign of a bad crash... [10:37] z80ASM:: ah, why I asked - firefox irc pluging is really weird, and command seemed familiar to it :) [10:38] ubuntu 8,10 [10:38] is it good? [10:38] when it will be released? [10:38] sken, yes.. when its done.

[10:38] no one? please, help :O [10:39] dr_willis hmm does this mean the new kernel messed something up. 8.04 runs ok [10:39] I can't stand that annoying windows for another day [10:39] is it going to be a stable and a faster system? [10:39] shesek, just get FreeBSD. [10:39] shesek: can you please repeat, i just enterted [10:39] sken, wait 4 days, try i and see [10:39] sken: for intrepid Use #ubuntu+1 for support, NOT #ubuntu [10:40] jim_p, hey, I tried to install ubuntu on my MSI wind, I created a bootable flash drive with the installion cd using unetbootin, installed it as I normally do (I wanted it to have dual boot), and when I restarted grub just wouldn't show up, it loads windows. any suggestions ? [10:40] sken: if you do want a faster system, install server edition and any package you need afterwards. its not that hard, i have done it myself [10:40] jim_p, thanks :) [10:40] how jim? [10:41] <_coredump_> z80ASM, freebsd is awesome, i have 7.1beta2 running, its smokin fast and extremly stable. [10:41] keith0815 [10:41] sken: in simple terms... install ubuntu server and sudo apt-get install xorg gnome-core firefox and so on [10:41] _coredump_ I know it is. [10:42] shesek: do you mean it ignores grub on the usb thing? [10:42] after updating and restarting my system I now have xfce as display manager. how can I restore the default ubuntu display manager? [10:42] xukun: log out and select gnome from the sessions menu [10:42] jim_p, it loaded the installion, it installed it succefully, but after a restart windows just load as it normally does [10:43] other than logging into the superuser account and changing the theme, is there any way to change the graphical theme for root? [10:43] shesek: no grub there at all? [10:43] no, it doesn't show up at all [10:43] jim_p, that easy he ok I will thanks [10:44] hey guys im having a problem with an SU command, im trying to run it and then it asks for a PW, so i entre it [10:44] and then it says authtenication failure [10:44] lee1: sudo gnome-appearence-properties perhaps? [10:44] acksaw@Mars:~/Desktop$ su -c "./et-linux-2.55.x86.run" [10:44] Password: [10:44] su: Authentication failure [10:44] Acknix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:44] jim_p: cool, i'll try- thanks [10:44] shesek: then it was not installed. here [10:44] !grub [10:44] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [10:45] gah. This is stupid, some windows don't fit on the screen in 1024x768... [10:45] how come? do I have to install it seperatly? [10:45] Acknix: sudo sh et-...run [10:45] I have a problem with cairo-dock. It is in my "sessions" but when it starts after I turned my pc on, it doesn't start properly which means that cairo-dock isn't displayed on every desktop. So I have to quit and reopen it again. Does somebody know how to fix this? [10:45] I remember that it was installed when I installed ubuntu when I had windows too [10:45] shesek: well if it was not installed at normal installation, yes [10:46] and why wouldn't it ? [10:46] sudo gnome-appearance-properties results in "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'." [10:46] jim_p, did I do something wrong ? [10:46] wait, then it appears anyway... odd [10:46] ubuntu 8.10 is the best [10:46] shesek: loads of reasons. weird partitioning or even installed on the wrong lo [10:46] damn [10:47] I let it use the free space as it wish [10:47] shesek: loads of reasons. weird partitioning or even installed on the wrong "location" on the drive [10:47] how do i install globe compriz plugin ? [10:47] is there a gui for setting up grub ? [10:47] lee1: then i dont know something else [10:48] lee1: there is also a similar program named switch2, try it with sudo [10:48] lee1: i dont remember which package installs it [10:48] shesek: yes, but dont rely on it [10:48] jim_p: after the error it came up anyway, strange but meh [10:49] jim_p, why not ? [10:50] because if you install grub the way the bot says is like talking directly to the grub. if you use some program, its like using a "translator". are you sure that it will translate properly? [10:50] jim_p, is there any chance reinstalling ubuntu may cause it to work? [10:51] shesek: installing grub takes like 10 seconds max! reinstalling ubuntu is far more time consuming [10:51] yeah.. but.. I'm a bit afaraid to fuck something up :O [10:52] shesek: does thet laptop have a cd drive? [10:52] no [10:52] Grub is the kind of thing - its worth reading/learning about [10:52] I loaded the cd from a flash drive [10:52] i agree, like apt [10:52] shesek: did you reach a live enviroment? [10:53] yes [10:53] I'm on it now [10:53] hmmm [10:53] in evolution, does anyone know how to make the tasks appear on the planned day, in the week-view? [10:54] insane question but does 2.6.24 fully support its processor? [10:54] ubuntu should work on msi wind, http://wiki.msiwind.net/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04_Hardy_Heron [10:54] they add themselves to the task list on the right, but that doesn't tell me when I have to do what on first sight... [10:54] so i gotta completely random question. why linux? what's the big deal about it. i've never had problems with vista [10:54] there shouldn't be any issues [10:54] I probably did something wrong [10:54] 2.6.24 is the ubuntu 8.04 kernel. its that old that it does not support intels 45nm cpus and p45 chipset :P [10:54] shesek: does it use atom? [10:55] yes [10:55] army12bc: that's a question that belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:55] shesek: game over [10:55] army12bc: stop trolling [10:55] ok [10:55] trolling? [10:55] what? why?

[11:28] marcel, what filesystem is it? [11:28] marcel, if stuff ends up in your .Trash-0001 , folder they are not realy deleted, they are moved to trash, you need to empty the trash can . look in the file manager windows , in the file menu, for "empty trash" or something similar [11:29] marcel, if that doesn't work , just sudo rm the files , not the trash folder [11:29] marcel, there is also a nautilus option that says "include a delete command that bypasses trashbin" [11:30] Pelo, okay thanks [11:30] hi guys, where do i find the .conf file for my pure-ftpd?

[11:55] drowner: if you want lts, yes [11:55] you couldn't go dapper-> Ibex though, surely? [11:55] drowner: only via hardy [11:55] hi i just installed kde 4 and all the gnome application in kde dont look good [11:55] can i do something about it [11:55] yeah [11:55] when is the next LTS due?

[11:57] I'm on hardy, and i'll get ibex, but i was just curious [11:58] drowner: there is something to be said for fresh installs [11:58] soundray: you prefer them? [11:58] i might actually fresh install Xubuntu or fluxbuntu, actually [12:00] drowner: yes [12:01] drowner: upgrading is fine if you use a machine for a limited purpose -- e.g. only webbrowsing and office work. Then you can quickly test if everything works after the upgrade or not, and if it does, you know that you'll be fine for the support period. [12:02] fair enough [12:02] Hi. Is there a way to watch C-Span on Ubuntu? They only seem to offer rtsp streams, but I can't play them even with *cough* realplayer (no audio, wrong colors). [12:03] drowner: if you're a bit of an enthusiast, though, and are always trying out new software and hardware, it's better to start occasionally from a clean slate. [12:03] soundray: I am going to fresh install a XFCE desk i think [12:03] But i don't know if i can be bothered reinstalling all the codecs, and such, and rebuilding my media libraries and all that [12:03] although [12:03] i have a seperate /home partition [12:04] So, maybe i'll be OK [12:04] kantor: Yes. Please create a swap partition for Linux. Otherwise voluminous data operations will be performed much more slowly. === Wayfaring_Spirit is now known as Step_Striver_4_L [12:04] Where is described the effect of the switch 'CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y' in /boot/config-2.6.24.21.generic?

[12:05] bullgard4: (after unpacking the source archive in /usr/src/linux-source...*.tar.bz2) [12:06] hello [12:06] aurel42: Please tell me what a 'Documentation order' is. [12:06] bullgard4: vt consoles are the ones you can switch to with Ctrl-Alt-F1 (F2, F3... F6). It's not sensible to disable them except on a headless or embedded system [12:06] bullgard4: that's a brain fart of a German who just woke up, I meant to say "Documentation folder". [12:06] soundray: are you on gnome or flux or what? [12:06] please any one can help me with john the ripper? [12:06] cause i want to fresh install flux, but i'm scared of it. It confuses me. [12:06] drowner: gnome [12:07] semarang [12:07] I'm back [12:07] I see that none of the ones I was talking with is here ? [12:08] hmm, I have MSI wind, with 2GB ram, and an HD (not SSD). should I make the swap 1GB or 2GB? [12:08] soundray: In contrast to them, what is affected by 'CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y'? [12:08] Skriptkid: ask your question (and explain why your use of john is legit *g) [12:08] drowner, by flux, do you happen to mean fluxbox? [12:08] unop: yes, fluxbox. [12:09] just my XP needs it password reset. So I need John? [12:09] I need to know how to crack SAM pass [12:09] using John [12:09] Skriptkid: I don't think John would help there, but tbh, I know zilch about Windows passwords. [12:10] zilch [12:10] zilch? What is that? [12:10] drowner, it's quite easy to have it installed (just install the fluxbox package) - here's some relevant documentation that could help you run/configure it http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Faqs [12:10] Skriptkid: "zilch" as in "nothing at all" [12:10] dear all, I'm trying to run the command "fs setacl /afs system:anyuser rl" and It gives this error "you don't have the required acess rights on /afs" and afs is not accessible by the cd command even when I logon as root, any ideas please? [12:11] And this is my time using an IRC. [12:11] Hi [12:11] Skriptkid: there are plenty of "password recovery tools" specialized on Windows passwords, perhaps Google is your friend. [12:11] how can I test my microphone recording settings? [12:11] unop: Thanks - i've already got the fluxbox WM installed - when Intrepid comes out though, i was thinking of doing a fresh Flux-only install. but flux is a little 'different' from me - although, if i got used to gnome, i suppose i will get used to flux too. I really like flux's speed [12:11] I would need some app, that gives me an immediate echo back from my recording device [12:12] so I can find out, which settings work [12:12] is there any? [12:12] drowner, there are ways to have the fluxbox window manager run under gnome - or gnome subsets (like the panel, desktop, etc) run under fluxbox - that might help you. [12:13] could anyone help me with installing, a tar.gz archive, I've tried the "./configure" command and it doesn't work?? [12:13] Skriptkid, google for trinity rescue kit [12:13] Analkrut you have to unpack it [12:13] done that [12:13] holas [12:13] tar -zxvf archive.tar.gz [12:13] already done [12:13] ^^ [12:13] And then change into the DIR [12:13] also done that [12:13] unop: possibly. I really like how fast flux is. Its so fast. But I don't find Gnome so slow - its usually ok, until something complicated happens. [12:13] hm make? [12:14] Flux and XFCE cope with busy programs better [12:14] Analkrut: explain "./configure does not work" - error message? [12:14] check if you've got an configure-file? [12:14] I have an old computer, you see [12:14] Analkrut, firstly, not all tar.gz files contain source to be built, secondly, you have to be in the source directory for ./configure to work, thirdly, not all source packages use ./configure - i suggest you read the README or INSTALL files within that archive to know what you have to do [12:14] Hello ... Is there any way to make AWN -never- take focus? It enoyes me that it takes focus from nautilus when i, e.g., Ctrl+Alt+D [12:14] hello people [12:15] no configure file in the directory, and the make command just results in different erros and warnings [12:15] errors* [12:15] how could I change the colour depth from 16 bits to 32 in Ubuntu 8.10? [12:15] Analkrut: then check README and INSTALL or other docs. [12:15] I'm trying to install ubuntu, why after adding an ext3 partition for / the rest of the space becomes "unusable" so I can't create swap ? [12:15] Analkrut, read the README/INSTALL file _before_ you do anything - it has instructions [12:16] aurel42 Okay I'll try doing that [12:16] Analkrut: the source might be in a subdirectory, or it might want you to create configure using automake, or it might use a totally different build mechanism. [12:16] shesek: are you messing around with LVM ? [12:16] Analkrut if not nopaste the output from make [12:16] no, just using the installed interface for creating partitions [12:17] (I don't really know whats LVM, but I guess it means I'm not messing with it) [12:17] Is there any way to make AWN -never- take focus? It enoyes me that it takes focus from nautilus when i, e.g., Ctrl+Alt+D [12:17] shesek: not doing anything with encrypted filesystems either? [12:17] nope [12:17] Analkrut→ du kan inte använda ett annat nick i den här kanalen? tack [12:17] ater adding 1 partition it won't let me add any other ones, the rest of the space becomes unusable [12:18] I'm just using the normal livecd installer [12:18] magnetron Varför? [12:18] so I added the CDrom to apt [12:18] shesek: hmm. I've been there before, but I don't know how I fixed it... [12:18] do i use apt-get upgrade, or apt-get dist-upgrade ? [12:18] I have bundle file, how to install it? [12:18] Anyone able to watch C-Span streams on Ubuntu? (and, yes, that's an intentional meta question) [12:18] Analkrut→ du har ingen aning? [12:19] magnetron Aldrig haft någon som har tagit illa upp av det förut, men visst, jag kan byta det [12:19] Analkrut→ tack === Analkrut is now known as Rakapparat [12:19] shesek: there is just 1 partition on this disk yes? [12:19] nope [12:19] it has windows on it [12:20] 3 partitions [12:20] magnetron: isn't there #ubuntu-swedish-chef-bork-bork-bork or something like that? ;) [12:20] the weird thing is that it worked for [12:20] shesek: ahh, there is your problem :) You can only have 4 primary partitions [12:20] Yo! Anyone here knows of any good strategy games for Linux/GNOME? [12:20] shesek: create an extended partition with 2 logical volumes in it, one for your / and one for swap [12:20] aurel42→ never heard of it [12:20] lol aurel42 [12:21] hmm [12:21] I have there some weird 4194mb fat32 partition [12:21] not sure what it is [12:21] magnetron, what language are you speaking? norwegian? [12:21] I think its something that windows created? does anyone knows what it is? [12:21] fat32 => Windows old filesystem if I remember right [12:21] (maybe I can just remove iut) [12:21] anyone can help me? [12:21] !enter | shesek [12:21] shesek: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:22] okay, sorry [12:22] unop It's Swedish [12:22] rummy, ask a question to the channel [12:22] shesek: if it's a brand-name like HP/Compaq/Dell that may contain extra (bios) tools [12:22] I asked! [12:22] Nvidiot, ah, that's probably it [12:22] !ask | rummy [12:22] rummy: 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. :-) [12:22] !ask | rummy [12:22] Oh, I asked!!!!!!!!!!!!! [12:23] so how do I create an extended partition? [12:23] how to install bundle file [12:23] aurel42: I found the /Documentation folder. But it does not include a Configure.help file (as suggested in the WWW). Where can I find documentation for the 'CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y' switch? [12:23] rummy: meta questions, often starting with "can anyone...?" don't count. ;) [12:23] rummy, what is a bundle file? [12:24] filename.bundle [12:24] I don't know [12:24] may be it's archive? [12:24] bullgard4: I'm pretty positive any kernel source package since kernel 1.0.9 comes with Documentation/Configure.help. Mine do. [12:24] rummy, hmm, no idea - what does this command give you? file -s filename.bundle [12:24] shesek: I don't know, look around in the partitioning tool in the setup [12:25] just a moment [12:25] I'm downloading it file and after that will write result [12:26] Anyone know of a good Strategy game for Linux? Turn-based Empire-wide? [12:26] rummy, well, it doesn't look like a standard archive - maybe there are instructions on the site from where you are downloading it on how to go about installing/using it [12:27] groogy: freeciv is a decent Civilization 2/3 (I think) clone. === drago is now known as Drago84 [12:27] may be it's text installer as crossover? [12:27] Nah already tried that one. I'm used to the real Civ so it feels kind of wierd playing it with sprites [12:28] rummy, no idea - try finding some documentation for it - on the website perhaps? [12:28] groogy: I know exactly how you feel. :D [12:28] groogy: that's why I keep a Windows partition for games. [12:28] It would be nice to find a Total War clone or something like that [12:28] I downloading it from ftp and here is no some manuals [12:28] aurel42: I did 'sudo updatedb'. I did then '~$ locate Configure.help' and obtained no output. Why? [12:28] I assume it's still too early to talk about Intrepid in here, but as I have no takers in +1, could someone help me figure out why I can't connect my mouse via bluetooth? [12:28] Yeah I used to do that too. But got tired of having to shutdown linux in order to play [12:29] bullgard4: you installed the package kernel-source-whatever? [12:29] well, I'm creating it with gparted [12:29] bullgard4, where is Configure.help located? [12:29] ey [12:29] k tal chabales? [12:29] unop: in his (probably not yet untared) kernel source ;) [12:30] unop: I do not know. I would like to read this file but cannot find it on my Ubuntu 8.04.1 laptop computer. [12:30] hmm, I created it with gparted, but now I don't see what I created on the installer [12:30] aurel42, that's an assumption i take it? [12:30] alguien habla español? [12:30] !es | devil [12:30] devil: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [12:30] unop: it's an assumption that he didn't untar it yet, which I was going to verify with my next question. It's not an assumption that Configure.help is part of the Kernel source. [12:31] bullgard4, did you install the kernel headers? [12:31] * aurel42 passes the torch to unop. [12:31] can someone please walk me through it? I really want to get ubuntu up and running on it [12:31] hai [12:31] hai [12:32] #2 [12:32] !hi | ce_tomboy [12:32] ce_tomboy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:32] I am speking spanish?

[12:32] how do i switch channels in irssi without alt or ctrl? [12:32] Hi every one :) [12:32] shesek: you did backup your Windows before you started, right? So if we make a mistake, nothing is lost? [12:33] como cambio de canal ubottu? [12:33] a ubuntu-es [12:33] Delvien→ are you using irssi via ssh? [12:33] aurel42, no, but f*k windows, I don't really need it [12:33] devil→ /j #ubuntu-es [12:33] just keeping it for CS anyway, nothing important there [12:33] shesek, language, language [12:33] magnetron aye on my g1 phone [12:34] unop: /usr/src/ includes linux-headers-2.6.24-19 and linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic and the same for -21. [12:34] Delvien→ you can use followed by the channel number [12:34] magnetron esc key? [12:34] Delvien→ Escape key [12:35] magnetron no esc key [12:36] bullgard4, try installing this package. sudo aptitude install linux-source # then run this command. find /usr/src/ -iname "*configure.help*" [12:36] Delvien→ if you don't have any keyboard, i don't see how you can ssh in the first place. there are IRC clients better suited for usage on phones, mirggi for example [12:36] pry [12:37] hello all [12:37] Yo [12:38] magnetron i have a keyboard im on ssh from my smart phone there are most of the keys ... not esc crtl or alt [12:38] is there a bios raid boot command? [12:39] Delvien→ for obvious reasons, you can't use the the letter keys for switching channel in irssi [12:39] it's awesome ubuntu has vnc working and built in [12:40] magnetron isnt there a / command [12:40] im ubuntu ultimate just awesome so far [12:40] unop: I did as you advised. '~$ find /usr/src/ -iname "*configure.help*"' does not obtain any output. [12:40] Delvien→ there are. consult the channel about it [12:41] thats what i did :( [12:41] Does anyone know the / command in irssi to switch channnels? [12:41] bullgard4, hmm, are you sure configure.help is part of the linux source? because i have never heard of it [12:44] ^x [12:45] unop: Some website told me about Configure.help in the context of explaining the config file switches. Just now I can you only refer to http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.2/0-pre8/Documentation/Configure.help as an example. [12:47] Has anyone managed to get synpatic-disable-on-type working on the asus EeePc 1000h ? === RaynesTehSleep is now known as Raynes [12:50] triggerhapp_: i haven't (but i haven't managed to on the 901, anyway), but you should probably try asking in #ubuntu-eeepc [12:50] hi, i downloaded a deb package and installed GDebi. can i make it uninstall and remove ALL changes it made to the system ? thanks [12:50] blip-: you can purge it (sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename) [12:50] thanks LjL [12:50] blip-: that won't remove *all* changes. actually, sudo apt-get --purge autormove packagename will remove some more things (dependencies, namely) [12:51] aurel42: On my Ubuntu 8.04.1 computer the DEB program packages linux-source and linux-source-2.6.24 are installed. Ubuntu does not offer DEB program packages whose names begin with 'kernel-source-'. [12:51] blip-: then you may have configuration files left in your home directory, those cannot be rolled back automatically [12:52] re [12:52] bullgard4, aurel42: indeed, the "kernel-*" packages are deprecated in both ubuntu and debian in favor of "linux-*" [12:52] LjL: the package "adds a file to the Xsession.d directory"... will that be undone with --purge ? === gnu is now known as Guest65436 [12:52] LjL: Thank you for explaining. [12:52] blip-: can't assure it will [12:53] blip-: anyway, that directory is in /etc/X11, should be easily checked [12:53] LjL: i forgot to mention, i have the actual .deb package there. when i specify packagename i give it this .deb file so it can reverse the effects right ? [12:54] blip-: no, you give packagename without any .deb or version numbers. apt-get knows nothing about your locally downloaded files [12:56] LjL: i see what you mean, but how do i know the actual name of the package. ie it may not be the same name as the file... this package isn't a program it's some wierd script installing thing [12:56] blip-: dpkg --info filename.deb will tell you the real name [12:57] but anyway, most likely it's whatever comes before the _ in the filename [12:57] LjL, dead quiet in there :P === suparjo_parmin is now known as c0_Lg_SedH_ [12:59] is there a vga=mode for 1440x900? [13:00] hi, could someone help me to troubleshoot printer sharing from ubuntu to win xp? i followed these instructions ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingFromWinXP ) exactly, and I can see the jobs that i attempt to print from the XP machine in the CUPS web interface, but they just say that they're done... but they weren't printed. [13:00] lee1: don't think so, but anyway if you do vga=ask, it'll list them for you [13:00] LjL: ok [13:00] lee1: i think you could also use the "svgatextmode" package to give you more flexibility, by changing the mode at runtime [13:00] ok, i'll try that in a second [13:01] Hi! I'm trying to use javaws from sun, but it seems not to be installed with the jdk (sun-java6-jdk). Is there no webstart available for java6, amd64? [13:01] how do I use svgatextmode when its installed [13:02] bullgard4, hmm, well, i can't find configure anywhere on my system - maybe it's no longer used on 2.6.X (what you showed me pertains to 2.2.x) [13:02] that did it. thanks for the help LjL [13:03] hey how do I access a nfs share from a different linux machine? is this correct? nfs://ip:/share`? [13:03] unop: I suspected that it has survived in some other distributions than Debian and Ubuntu. -- Thank you very much for your effort. [13:05] hi, i'm trying to get printer sharing going, and i followed the article here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingFromWinXP , and I can see the jobs successfully completed in the CUPS web interface, but nothing has printed... any ideas? [13:06] i am trying to connect my new motorokr em30 phone in MSC mode in Ubuntu Hardy.. but it is not getting recognized.. in MTP mode, it gets recognized as a camera.. but 'm not able to browse its contents.. help please.. === patrick is now known as Guest42119 [13:08] I think a recent update broke my pulseaudio, has anyone else had any problems? === mneisen is now known as nlasdjklafdsa === nlasdjklafdsa is now known as mneisen === cafenet4 is now known as TGL_CO_BE_FRIEND [13:10] Hi, after an update to linux-image-2.6.24-21-server, I still have only the *-19 in grub/menu.lst.

[13:11] Hello [13:11] hi [13:11] I'm trying to change the GDM theme [13:11] how can I get the list of recommended packages apt-get shows the first time you install? [13:12] mneisen it should auto-add it to the list, so I think something went wrong there [13:12] hello, i have new partition for my data. it was mounted but i can work on it. what should i do. [13:13] I was trying to follow the instructions at the download site for the theme I want : http://rozbarwinek.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-pl-GDM-Theme-91085039 [13:13] Nvidiot: That's what I feared. Do you know how I can, well, re-do it? [13:13] when I get to the install part, there's nothing to install [13:14] mneisen: you could apt-get remove the package, then reinstall ? [13:14] !zip [13:14] Hi guys, how can i fix a broken sources.list file ? [13:14] Hmmm - removing a server-image ... I am not that confident I might be comfortable with that approach. [13:14] Nvidiot: But thanks, anyway. [13:14] Nvidiot: (perhaps even apt-get remove --purge?) [13:14] hey, my system restarted after I tried to play a game. Which log should I see to discover the cause? [13:14] mneisen: maybe a reconfigure will do, but I'm not sure [13:15] i'm having trouble with the 8.10beta: i use hal fdi policy for emulate wheel with my 3rd mouse button. this works, but each time my laptop wakes up after suspend, the policy seems to not work anymore and i have to restart X, has this already been reported ? [13:15] Nvidiot: Ah, yes, that seems to be a better idea. I will try that.

[13:16] I have a screenshot, if anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong [13:17] Phantomas→ you can use the DeVeDe software for creating DVDs [13:17] oh [13:17] so I shouldn't unzip it? [13:17] magnetron: which option i have to select to include subtitles? [13:17] Drthtater:I could not open it [13:18] Hi guys, how can i fix a broken sources.list file ?

[13:18] mneisen: :/ [13:18] I was just looking for advice, since this is my first linux build [13:19] where would i find the config file for wep wireless [13:19] the directory [13:19] that is [13:19] I need subtitles... anyone knows how can i do it?

[13:20] cybernout, you should never use wep anyway ? [13:20] nfs://ip:/share is that the way to mount a nfs share? [13:20] Nvidiot: A manual call to update-grub did the magic. [13:20] hehe [13:20] mneisen cool :D [13:20] Nvidiot: I wonder why the upgrade did not do this. [13:21] hey, my system restarted after I tried to play a game.

[13:45] Im trying to install apt-get -y install --force-yes postfix but Keep getting interactive config questions! How do I unattend this? Ive tried everything from.. debconf-get-selections and debconf-SET-selections to looking into PUPPET ( but I do not want to go as far as puppet ) I just wanna apt-get unattended setup for postfix (and possilble others!) Any ideas? Im on ubuntu/debian [13:46] NightKnight: type dpkg -l | grep "\blinux" to see a list of them, then remove them using "sudo apt-get remove packagename packagename etc". be careful not to remove the one you're using.

[13:47] what packages do i need to install to get compiz working? ive just removed compiz* cause it was causing problems [13:47] NightKnight: it won't [13:47] Langley: no, you need the xserver only on the remote machine (client), not your actual server (yes i know, it seems confusing, but the X *server* is the stuff that gives you graphics on the screen, while the *client* is the program that runs) [13:47] Thanks! [13:47] See you around and thanks for the help. [13:47] does anyone want to help out a first time user? [13:48] yes probably [13:48] Langley: on your server you do need X-related libraries, but those will normally be installed automatically when you install an X program on the server [13:48] jjdiamond, just ask your question [13:48] should my hard drives be labeled sda and sdb? [13:48] !ask | jjdiamond [13:48] jjdiamond: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

Its seems there is a default vncserver in hardy (vinagre), but this doesnt suit - to use this method you have to be logged into X on the box itself, I need this not to be the case, I remember years back when I set this up, it was something like "vncserver -geometry 1024x768" was wh [14:08] at i used to have to do to get it running, can anyone help me out/point me in the right direction? [14:08] It can be dealt with with a simple notice, so it could be in inteprid anyway [14:08] jim_p: Ok, I will look into those.. Have you tried them?

[14:39] how can i see my current version of.... linux-kernel-devel and linux-headers please ?? [14:40] how can i see my current version of.... linux-kernel-devel and linux-headers please ?? which command can give me that ? [14:40] I'm just asking if these are harmful or dangerous [14:40] MyKniGhT: in your favourite package manager (synaption, aptitude...)

[14:41] s0l1dsnak3123 that program eats all my cpu.. :( and its not very comfortable :( [14:41] Tyreus, check this out: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo [14:41] aurel42: how can i know if they were blocked by the fw? [14:41] hey' [14:41] ? [14:42] Cool-Nick: oh, I assumed that's what you meant by "hits in firestarter"... blocked connections. [14:42] Cool-Nick, there's no way to tell specifically if they are bad or not.. because they are blocked they were "not invited" to begin with.. that's what you want a firewall to do. [14:42] Cool-Nick, no. the firewall blocked them. but you can lookup if the hits target any particular port. this may give you hints what happens if you dual boot any other operating system on this computer [14:42] has anyone experience with webmin and virtual hosts on Ubuntu ? it seems one virtual host is recognizing even the IP :S [14:43] I want to create one jpg for every video that I have in a folder. And the jpgs should consist of a couple of screenshots from the video. So every picture should be a preview of what the video contains. Anyone know how to do that? [14:43] Do i have to disable the restricted drivers? [14:43] I have only Ubuntu and most of the hits are for this port: 7080 === nonem is now known as krek [14:43] MatBoy: with Apache, the first virtual host will probably get all the requests not going to hostnames defined as ServerName or ServerAlias in other virtual hosts. [14:43] Seeking software to stream video of all sorts (personal dvd collection ripped to avi, and placed on server), preferably with a php / html frontend so other members on the lan can browse / open.. any ideas? === krek is now known as nonem [14:44] aurel42: mhh, so.. I should set the server alisasses ? [14:44] what is 7080 port for?? [14:44] Sorta like mythTV's video plugin... but standalone. VLC would dod the job if it had a frontend. [14:44] (web based) [14:44] godsyn, sounds like a multimedia pc.. mythtv, mythbuntu, and others. [14:45] whtas the best irc client for ubuntu that ISNT irssi or xchat [14:45] !best | Acknix [14:45] !best | Acknix [14:45] Acknix: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel.

I use it for the Windows boxes, but I hope for something more efficient for the use with Linux boxes. [14:57] aurel42, you should also take into accont the integration with an identity provider (ldap, active directory, etc), I mean, in case you need that [14:58] if i install ibex do I need to redit my fstab to mount /home partition [14:58] I know Samba isn't exactly efficient, but I recon something can be done to make it a *lil* faster than just over 100 mbit :) [14:58] albertico: nope, it's a trusted (home) network.

[15:05] osotogari, can you do a > ls -l [15:05] Good morning, I am running the ultimate edition of ubuntu and I have a laptop running 1920X1280. When I first login to ubuntu before the desktop and when I exit ubuntu I have screens that look like they out way out of sync. The normal desktop is OK but these two login and logout screens looks all out of whack. Anyone familiar with what I'm talking about or how to fix it? [15:05] albertico: thanks, but my problems with NFS don't seem to be server-side (since they don't affect all clients simultaneously). And I don't need a ready-made fileserver distribution, I'm quite happy with setting things up myself. I was only interested in experiences with other network file systems that could replace NFS in my setup. [15:05] can anyone tell me what is wmaster0, what is it used for ? please [15:05] # ls -l file_name [15:05] osotogari, let me see the permissions of the file [15:06] There is an Ultimate Edition of Ubuntu? Is there Ubuntu XP Home, too? [15:06] @ shell: Yeah i tried that using the following command sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* [15:06] aurel42, ultimate edition is not an official release, is just a custom edition built by someone [15:06] Just a fully loaded edition with a bunch of whistles and beels [15:06] !ultimate | aurel42, flats [15:06] aurel42, flats: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [15:06] even bells [15:07] joaopinto: ah, I see... probably with Medibuntu etc. already switched on, huh? [15:07] aurel42, eventually [15:07] can i encrypt my connection?? [15:07] flats: ty [15:07] osotogari, think you have wrong permissions in that directory [15:07] Cool-Nick: your connection to what? [15:07] sorry, i try to install tarball into my ubuntu... i have extrace and read file 'intall'. it tell me to type cd and directory.. it success. then .configure... also success. but after that i type make.. terminal shows me command not found... makefile also not found.. why? a lot of ware i try to install be like this.. [15:07] trying to run ls in that directory doesnt bring back any files [15:07] Cool-Nick, you either use vpn, for an encrypted connection to a given network, or use encrypted protocols, you do not encrypt your connection [15:08] beyta: what are you trying to compile? [15:08] ok put § chmod 755 dir_name [15:08] way to make me waste typing time [15:08] I assume there's a setting related to login and logout screens as to what appears and what the resolution is, but I don't know what it's called or where to find it [15:08] osotogari, change persmissions on that directory [15:09] LjL, joaopinto: for example: i don't want anyone to know anything about me when i'm chatting [15:09] done [15:09] ill try to do that now [15:09] Cool-Nick: that needs cooperation at both ends of the chat. [15:09] lol.... [15:09] like a secure line [15:09] flats: in normal ubuntu, you configure your screen with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk', but this may or may not apply to ultimate [15:10] soundray: worth a try. brb [15:10] Cool-Nick, that has nothing to do with encryption, that is anonymity, and something out of the scope of this channel [15:10] LjL: do you mean me and freenode? [15:10] aurel42, well man, that was just a suggestion... I also do things myself. At least the project may help you to see network file system alternatives, since it is a distro designed specifically for that purpose. [15:10] Cool-Nick: no, you and the other party. freenode itself offers no encryption. [15:11] !info pidgin-encryption | Cool-Nick, this is a possibility [15:11] cool-nick, this is a possibility: pidgin-encryption (source: pidgin-encryption): pidgin plugin that provides transparent encryption.

[15:11] Does anyone know if the next version of x.org will support nVidia Quadro FX 570M ? [15:11] aurel42: completely useless to encrypt a chat. [15:11] soundray: That sets the desktop and is working well. I'm looking for login and logout screens if that makes any sense [15:11] LjL joaopinto: what are the sources, books....topics to learn about that? [15:11] Just wondering what the difference between Xorg and Xgl is, and if games using 3D would run better under Xgl?

[15:14] i do not understand why gnome eat so much of memory.. [15:14] the nautils anyone having any idea to customize gnome to use less memory [15:15] Wobert_: without context, it's hard to say what it means. but generally speaking, a man-in-the-middle attack is when you're transfering information with someone else, and there is an unwanted third party "in the middle" that has access to the transmission channel. [15:15] Wobert_: it probably means you have an established an encrypted connection with someone without having checked whether the other side is really the other side. ;) [15:15] how can I find my sound card driver?

[16:49] installing ubuntu on a laptop with no on-board wifi card, install is stuck at 87% "getting the time from a network time server" [16:49] ric1-> do a fresh install instead of upgrade [16:49] why is this not timing out? it's been 20 minutes [16:49] outbackwifi, if it helps, skype was working perfectly fine until a few months ago [16:49] it's not my cdrom, it's readonly files. whenever i try to copy a readonly file off the cd, it makes a readonly file locally, then refuses to write to it because it's readonly. i havent figured out a solution yet, since I can't use chmod a+w on the cd since it's a readonly filesystem [16:49] UrbanMystic: i have seen that at times in my laptop i cant use skype properly because the current capture device is my built-in mic and im trying to use a headset. changing this in alsamixer helps me [16:49] outbackwifi, actually i dont use my linux box so often these days since i got a laptop. but my mom uses skype and now it isnt working [16:49] Outbackwifi: How do I disable CompIz? [16:50] Is there a possibility to exclude certain directories from a search with the 'find' command? [16:50] kbrosnan, outbackwifi; kk...i installed it thanxxx..... [16:50] ric1: you should download and install xubuntu for less than 256 ram [16:50] outbackwifi, and somehow it's only doing this for bigger files [16:50] Caleb|: System-Preferences-Appearance [16:50] like install 8.10 from scratch? i dont think i have enough ram and my internet connection is to slow to download xubuntu [16:50] fsufitch: if it copied the files to the hard disk, you can change persmissions [16:51] kbrosnan, outbackwifi; my browser used 2 crash always...so someone told me that it was flash9...so i uninstalled it and installed nspluginwrapper....will it crash again [16:52] hey guys, can anyone help me with a problem i'm having while installing ubuntu? [16:52] !ask | Exortius [16:52] Exortius: 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. :-) [16:52] outbackwifi, so do you have anything in mind that I can try? [16:52] ric1: you can try a smaller distro, like puppy...

[16:52] UrbanMystic: try changing the mic in preferences in the volume control applet [16:53] tried that too outbackwifi [16:53] outbackwifi, the odd thing, though, is if i wait for my cd to wind down due to unuse, and try to copy one of the files then, it doesn't even start up before giving me the R/W error [16:53] doest work [16:53] mandark: it may still crash, flash is not ment for the x64 platform. the only other option is to set up firefox 32 bit to work, non-trivial google chroot firefox [16:53] ok, my ubuntu install is stuck at 87% "getting the time from a network time server", my laptop has no on-board network card, shouldn't this have timed out and continued with the install?

[16:55] Thylacine i think i tied that before but i didnt work [16:55] sorry I asked this question a while ago, but had to reboot before it was answered [16:55] can anyone help me with troubleshooting my pidgin mail [16:55] kbrosnan; is der any better browser which supports flash.... [16:55] Hello. I am running Xubuntu Hardy. Everything used to work just fine, but recently, xubuntu has become unable to detect my SD card when I insert it into the reader.

I was more curious about whether I can install LAMP without reinstalling ubuntu? [17:01] melams, sure [17:01] !lamp [17:01] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [17:01] Hey, this question may be random, but when I enter commands in terminal, I often have to type "sudo" in front of the command. what does it do? === tekteen_ is now known as tekteen [17:01] runs it as root [17:01] !sudo | Altairs [17:01] Altairs: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [17:01] how i can connect amsn?? [17:01] Altairs: it gives you administrative powers [17:02] ohh okay [17:02] thanks [17:02] so i have to install apache, mysql and php seperatly [17:02] unop: It works, thank you very much. [17:03] also, i've heard about this thing from my buddies called "compiz", what is it? [17:03] Hi so my sister would like for me to be able to connect remotely to her computer and fix her problems. she is running xp and i am running ubuntu. what is the best program to do this? is tightvnc ok? [17:03] melams, if you want an easy LAMP setup on a graphical ubuntu installation, go to http://www.apachefriends.org [17:03] amrik: sure, that'll work [17:03] thank you [17:03] NauarchLysander, here's something for you - http://wooledge.org/mywiki/UsingFind [17:03] i've made a script and modified sudoers with sudovisudo command and it is still asking me for a password when i try to run the script, why? [17:03] oh well maybe.. [17:03] !compiz [17:03] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [17:03] unop: Thanks. [17:04] a [17:04] ay^: are there other programs that could work? [17:04] amrik: not that I know of [17:04] Thylacine, when you make changes to a file - tell us about those changes [17:04] http://pastebin.com/d39fc19e0 any ideas? [17:04] Thylacine, so, what did you put in sudoers exactly? [17:05] how can i deinstall a program? [17:05] sudo apt-get remove [17:05] tribalih: did you install it with apt, or th elikes? [17:05] unop: below root ALL=... i put user ALL=NOPASSWD: /PATH/scriptname [17:05] I have problem with sound. when I have open rhythmbox don't have sound in skype or in firefox, in other programs or if I have sound in firefox then don't have in others :-) [17:06] !anything [17:06] So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. [17:06] ay: ehm... how can i now that... i am not really good in this things [17:06] awww [17:06] musictoto: it says compatible on a x86 processor, sorry my computer knowledge is shady, how can i make sure that my processor is x86 [17:07] rummy: problem with adobe flash and pulse audio, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio see known issues [17:07] Thylacine, that shouldn't work because scripts are actually run by interpreters i.e. /bin/bash or /usr/bin/perl etc [17:08] melams: what kind of computer you have? [17:08] so generally x86 processor is any 16 or 32 bit but not 64 [17:08] i have a 32 bit processor [17:08] intel centino [17:08] ay^: sorry now = know... [17:08] melams: then you have an x86 processor [17:08] thanks [17:08] melams: x86 means it's intel compatible [17:08] melams: that will work [17:08] unop: i type in the terminal sudo /path/scriptname, it asks me for a password and after that it works [17:08] thanks guys [17:09] it should not want a password [17:09] it is in sudoers [17:09] outbackwifi, now it works. apparently it was a weird problem because i changed my password (which i did just earlier today). this was somehow fixed by me restarting my computer. im happy it works now though :). thanks for oyur help [17:10] another newb question, but is a linux shell the same as the terminal [17:11] melams: nope [17:11] melams: yes, sorry [17:11] :) [17:11] i write perl in my terminal and it just stands there and blink, does Perl come with the ubuntu-distro? [17:11] melams: it's not exactly the same but pretty much [17:11] i write python i starts the interpreter. doesnt perl have one? [17:11] i can get to different shells by doing function f1 - f7 right? [17:12] sleven: perl requires input, it's not interactive like python [17:12] dulak: i see [17:12] sleven, perl does not have an interactive shell (like python) - that's why it is expecting some input [17:12] sleven: so something like perl script.pl [17:12] i see [17:12] sleven, or perl #next line print "hello world" #when finished CTRL+D [17:13] what si the equivalence of C:/ on ubuntu? [17:13] I installed Ubuntu server but I was not connected to the internet then. So I choosed to set up the internet connection later. Now its done installing and I'm connected to the internet. How do I setup my connection now? (wifi would be great too) [17:13] how can I prevent adept (or apt-get or any other tool) to remove a package that is marked as "broken" when I want to upgrade my system ? The package in question actually works just fine and I need it, it was just installed forcibly and come from a a future (intrepid) distribution [17:13] sleven: there really isn't one, but the closest thing to it is / [17:13] sleven, there is no equivalent, linux doesn't use the concept of drive letters [17:14] sleven: there is no real equivalence per se, since the mount points in nix systems are virtual. however if you only have one hard drive most likely it corresponds to / (unless of course you are referring to a windows partition from an ubuntu dual boot) [17:14] im running on vmware [17:14] zigovr: does aptitude hold [packagename] work? [17:14] does thta make it a lot slower? [17:14] of course [17:15] sleven: running on vmware will be significantly slower, and will not be able to make full use of all available hardware such as hardware accelerated rendering for compiz desktop effects [17:15] sweet. i got vnc to work [17:15] sleven: the amount of slowness depends on your cpu [17:15] amrik: I didn't try that, I will [17:17] Hello, I'm hoping for help with installation. I am an experienced Ubuntu user, but I am stumped. [17:17] #ubuntu++1 [17:17] I decided to keep my Athlon 64x2 processor and upgrade my motherboard. [17:17] which is better? Virtualbox or VMWare. [17:18] is there any way around firefox's problem of reversing left/right navigation when using touchpad scrolling? [17:18] I installed an XFX nForce 750a motherboard. [17:18] in xfce is there a way to remove those 3 desktop icons or are they just stuck there? I couldn't find a way [17:18] http://pastebin.com/d39fc19e0 any ideas? [17:18] is it a memory error? [17:18] hi room [17:18] i m having problem with youtube [17:19] i cannot see the videos on it [17:19] When using the liveCD, I can start the kernel, but then everything just stops. Apparently the computer "forgets" how to recognize the CD burner. [17:19] also when i tried to install flashplayer [17:19] it give me error [17:19] I don't know whether I need a separate driver for the CD burner, or maybe I have set something wrong in the bios. I have messed with the bios for hours. [17:19] I have no idea what those APIC errors are [17:19] capricorrrrrn: what error? [17:19] ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the [17:19] Adobe Flash Player installer.

CAN anyone help me at all [17:20] yes [17:20] Or know why its doing this [17:20] I installed Ubuntu server but I was not connected to the internet then. So I choosed to set up the internet connection later. Now its done installing and I'm connected to the internet. How do I setup my connection now? (wifi would be great too) [17:20] flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. [17:20] amrik : yes [17:20] theJKH: vmware tries to grab hold of the sound card all for itself; to get it to work usually involves temporarily killing pulseaudio (pulseaudio -k) and when done with vmware restarting pulseaudio (pulseaudio -D) [17:21] amrik : its already install [17:21] capricorrrrrn: and so the problem is that you get a grey box? [17:21] yow can anybody help me out . i cant get my wired connection to work on 8.10 [17:21] is there a way (without virtualizing windows) to force netflix watch instantly to work on ubuntu? [17:21] yes [17:21] I did that but still says same message [17:21] first i was having problem that it say to install flash player [17:22] is there a way to run a memory test from a running system? [17:22] now i get white screen when i play some video on youtube [17:22] i have a supramax 56i pci modem not working in ubuntu. i did a google and came up with nothing useful, i tried linxant site still nothing. anyone want a challange? please. [17:22] Wait [17:22] anybody got an idea why my network stoped working when i upgraded to 8.10 ? [17:22] whats the command to kill audo? [17:22] the pulse audio command [17:22] capricorrrrrn: ok so you are trying to install flash on a 64 bit platform. unfortunately adobe does not support 64 bit (the bug that was filed is about 4 years old now) [17:22] amirk [17:23] theJKH: pulseaudio -k [17:23] capricorrrrrn: however there are ways around this [17:23] Help! I'm trying to log into a server via ssh and it's hanging after successfully logging in. Here's the output from ssh -v: http://pastebin.com/m5ea31bb7. Any ideas on what might be happening? [17:23] good morning ubuntuites! [17:23] i did that btu i stil have sound amirk [17:23] amrik: tell [17:23] me [17:23] isnt getting rid of sound in ubuntu [17:23] hi. after updating my sound driver, i cannot login gnome anymore.it crashes (10 seconds error) and sys it cannot find libasound.so.2 anymore. i got an amd64 arch [17:23] what do you guys recall as the most easy and stable ftp server under ubuntu ? [17:23] ftpd [17:23] is there any solution without removing and reinstalling libasound.so.2 ? [17:23] good morning to you too mrpolite [17:24] capricorrrrrn: ok so what i do for youtube is i have a greasemonkey script installed that replaces the flash player on youtube with either mplayer or totem. it works all the time instead of only sometimes and the fullscreen is much faster [17:24] capricorrrrrn: however i cannot seek in the middle of videos, but its a minor drawback. plus greasemonkey can be switched on an off very easily [17:24] segosu: also for hosting ? [17:24] Amirk it says failed to kill daemon [17:24] my guess is no, oh well another one for the round file [17:25] i have a supramax 56i pci modem not working in ubuntu. i did a google and came up with nothing useful, i tried linxant site still nothing. anyone want a challange? [17:25] theJKH: ps aux | grep pulseaudio to see if its still running. it probably isnt [17:25] do somebody speak german? [17:25] MatBoy: probably not. maybe pureftpd is better, no idea. never had to host an ftpd to the internets. i use ftpd locally. [17:25] tribalih: maybe you should try #ubuntu-de [17:25] capricorrrrrn: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25481 [17:26] ah... okai.. thanks... joseph [17:26] hi al [17:26] what doe sit really mean that the mount-points are virtual?

[17:26] capricorrrrrn, flash works just fine on 64 bit firefox [17:26] segosu: yes, proftpd is also kinda nice [17:26] amrik: i have install greasemonkey using firefox addons [17:26] theJKH: right so pulseaudio is dead now, so try running in a terminal "padsp vmware" [17:27] jjdiamonns use deb [17:27] but its not working [17:27] b33r: how ? [17:27] thanx dhost3 [17:27] capricorrrrrn: that is correct. install greasemonkey first, then install one of the scripts, which links i have provided [17:27] ghost3 [17:27] so k [17:27] OKay trying that now [17:27] capricorrrrrn, install the macromedia flash [17:27] when i type su in the terminal and type my admin password when prompted it says "authentification failure" [17:27] any suggestions as to why? [17:27] capricorrrrrn, but first uninstall the other stuff that you have tried like gnash [17:27] b33r: apt-get install ?? [17:27] put your user password in instead [17:27] melams are you oon the sudoers list? [17:27] melams: if you want a root prompt try sudo su [17:27] melams: put your user password in instead [17:28] b33r: plz give full detail [17:28] Amirk its the same thing [17:28] melams: chances are there is no root account set up, so no password will actually work [17:28] There isnt even a directort for dsp1 [17:28] sorry i put my user password in [17:28] ghost4, error [17:28] sudo su && passwd [17:28] is there a way to remove the trash, home,and file system icons from the desktop in xfce? [17:28] i figured it was the same [17:28] set, done [17:28] theJKH: hmm that usually works for me, do you have a /dev/dsp or /dev/dsp-1? [17:28] how do I find out [17:28] capricorrrrrn, try sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [17:28] so i should try the sudo [17:28] theJKH: go into /dev and type ls dsp* [17:28] capricorrrrrn, but first uninstall any other things that you have tried [17:29] b33r: i have not tried much and i have flashplugin-nonfree already installed [17:29] ghost3, error wrong architecture [17:29] capricorrrrrn, have you tried something else before that? [17:29] i'm having an issue with notify. wicd daemon runs scripts as root, but one of the scripts makes a notification popup which only appears when i run the script as myself. can i force it to display on my desktop? i tried putting DISPLAY=:0.0 at the top of the script. [17:29] melam: trying to change your pw ? [17:29] no [17:29] if i wtir python somefile.py, where does that file have to be located to be run? [17:30] capricorrrrrn, check if you have gnash installed [17:30] sleven: in the current working directory [17:30] sleven: In your current working dir. [17:30] Oh wat there was an error in the terminal Amirk it said ERROR ld.so: object 'libpulsedsp.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded :ignore [17:30] b33r: capricorrrrrn's problem is that hes trying to watch youtube videos on 64 bit [17:30] amrik, yes it works I have 64 and youtube works just fine [17:30] which version of adobe flash plugin do install for ubuntu 64bit? [17:30] if i write a python script and i want to be able to call it fromt he terminal. where do i need to place it?

Heard that the dd command using installation CD might be a good idea. Tried some of the dd commands i found online, but nothing seems to work. Anyone know? [17:32] any solution for my problem [17:33] capricorrrrrn, check if you have gnash installed and in firefox link type about:plugins and tell me what's there [17:33] Torway use hiren bootcd [17:33] if i write a python script and i want to be able to call it from the terminal. where do i need to place it? [17:33] Hm my computer is totally borked.. I try to remove /tmp/gconfd-askar and get I/O error [17:33] ideas? [17:33] Torway: why do you want the hard drive zeroed? [17:33] sleven: do you want to be able to call it *anywhere*? [17:33] sleven: You could put it anywhere your path has defined.

Can't even boot to live Cd. [18:08] Anybody know a fix? [18:08] DensuX: I think the best solution will be to reinstall NTLDR to your system. Then you can try booting Ubuntu with that (instructions on the web) [18:08] Joseph303: did you already tried boot options ? [18:08] DasEi, I can start the disk and choose an installation option, then the problem starts. [18:09] DasEi, well, I tried various options, though I don't know 100% what I'm doing. I tried noapic, docache, various things like that. [18:09] theJKH: i don't understand your question... you want to use your webcam to capture live from youtube to stream to your xbox?!

[18:49] unrar won't handle recent rar files... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrar [18:49] ldiamond: evolution depends on these packages: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/evolution some of those packages are required for other things as well.

I'm concerned that now that you've removed your -desktop metapackage, it may try and remove a good deal of the GUI stuff [18:51] Afternoon everyone. Does ubuntu have an equivalent to the OSX/Windows "open" command at the command line? [18:51] xscreensaver [18:51] funny, no surprise that when I ssh -X to my Debian box it works as it should. [18:51] python [18:51] I am running Hardy right now and didn't know if I should wait for the official release of Ibex or if I could using it now? [18:52] Flannel: ok but that is just a file not a dir, like on windows i have C:/Python25/Lib/site-packages, but when instlaling libs on ubuntu i just put it in /usr/bin and run python setup.py?

Something that plugs in at init time perhaps to determine whether i am in the office or at home and set the wireless connection appropriately? If so, and should it matter, work uses wpa_supplicant (WPA) and home, WEP -- should that change anything in terms of an answer. Thanks! (And no, i am not using GNOME.) [20:35] so i prefer to use windows [20:35] Is there a way to make a deb with checkinstall with python projects that come with a setup.py file?

[20:36] i just hope some day we will find a solution [20:36] Decepticon: there must've been some other steps that you forgot about that got the wheelchair to get there in the first place.... i'm guessing that if it's really that much of a bother to you, i suppose reinstalling won't hurt too much as long as you have your data backed up [20:37] even the bluetooth on ubuntu doesnt work [20:37] Hoover_4000, it does work [20:37] it sure works [20:37] not for me [20:37] Hoover_4000: works fine here [20:38] Hello! :) [20:38] what's the best way to scan for an ip address [20:38] even a no-name usb-bluetooth adapter [20:38] Hoover_4000: what are you trying to get working with it? [20:38] my treo [20:38] ping the broadcast? [20:38] it works perfectly in windows [20:38] Is there a way to make a deb with checkinstall with python projects that come with a setup.py file? I tried "sudo checkinstall setup.py install" but that did not work [20:38] never used one of those [20:38] pianoboy3333, no [20:38] Ubuntu is very good. [20:38] pianoboy3333: run the setup,pu script first then run checkinstall with just "make"? [20:39] also tried it on my old rarz it still doesnt work [20:39] Anyone know why "rdiff-backup --exclude /home/*/.gvfs" gives me ListError user/.gtk-bookmarks/.gvfs [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/user/.gvfs'?

[20:41] yeah, the pastebin mentioned in the guidelines is a dead link [20:41] Gnea: T-mobile [20:41] graingert: its pmed [20:41] ok another question, when im tyrying to add a new device in bluetooth, ubuntu sees my device, but when i click it, at the bottom this text box comes up and it fills up with ; [20:42] ok another question, when im tyrying to add a new device in bluetooth, ubuntu sees my device, but when i click it, at the bottom this text box comes up and it fills up with ;'s and the 'forward' button disables... and i cant do anyhting... what is this behavior and why? [20:42] Hoover_4000: are you able to even sync with a pin? [20:42] hadi57, take a look at this page: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo [20:42] I have just upgraded to rTorrent 0.8.3, and now none of my keys work, i.e. D is supposed to increase throttle but it does nothing, C is supposed to decrease but it does nothing, arrow keys won't select my torrents, etc. Any ideas why? [20:42] depressed again :( [20:42] Good evening, guys! Can someone please help me with this weird problem I have? =) [20:43] Gnea: funny thing is right now the mouse and keyboard am tyiping on use the bluetooth to connect but ubuntu doesnt recognize the bluetooth [20:43] I've been trying for days to get this sound problem to work - how to cut off speakers when headphones are plugged in? Any ideas would be appreciated. [20:43] brb [20:43] how can I set the keyboard in en_US with deadkeys, so that c-cedilha works across libraries? I can get GTK and GNOME apps to print c-cedilha, but not QT or TK (like skype and amsn, respec) [20:44] those print c-acute instead of c-cedilha [20:44] ok another question, when im tyrying to add a new device in bluetooth, ubuntu sees my device, but when i click it, at the bottom this text box comes up and it fills up with ;'s ... if i hit other things on the dialog box, the ;'s start filling up from the beginning to end (pretty fast too), it also happens on the cancel button too [20:44] what is command to mount an iso [20:44] Hoover_4000: the protocol is one thing, how the protocol is used is a different thing. i can use my bluetooth headset to listen to music and for things like skype, but my razr isn't going to work because my provider shut some things off - if they hadn't, i could just pair it and i would be able to browse the OBEX [20:45] elliotjhug: thank you for refering me to the article. Can you explain to me what this http://paste.ubuntu.com/62989/ means [20:45] army12bc, sudo umount [ISOpath] [DIRECTORY], I believe [20:45] ty === Ferox is now known as FeroxJB [20:45] My X won't launch.

[20:45] Romanian: army12bc: you only need iso path or directory [20:46] ??? [20:46] Gnea; in windows my bluetooth works flawlessly so i know its a problem with ubuntu [20:46] Romanian: army12bc: not both [20:46] Hoover_4000: we don't care about windows here. [20:46] LunarEffect: are you using IPv6 ? [20:46] graingert, do you not need to determine where the ISO mounts? [20:46] i'm trying to install build-essential, but t has a problem with libc6-dev, when i try to install it i get: libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.7-10ubuntu4) but 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu6 is to be installed [20:46] Romanian: not to unmount [20:46] army12bc, "sudo mount -o loop=/dev/loop/0 /path/to/iso /mount/point" for mounting [20:46] Anyone know of a good photo manager program? [20:47] I turned IPv6 off earlier and the problem remained, I also just switched to wicd...same problem [20:47] Oh, sorry, he asked "mount". I gave it for umount first time 'round. Second one was the correct. [20:47] Hmmm [20:47] Wireless or wired? [20:47] Gnea: that was a way to tell you something needs to be done to ubuntu to make it better than windows [20:47] wireless [20:47] I have just upgraded to rTorrent 0.8.3, and now none of my keys work, i.e. D is supposed to increase throttle but it does nothing, C is supposed to decrease but it does nothing, arrow keys won't select my torrents, etc. Any ideas why? [20:47] What nic manufacturer? [20:48] Hoover_4000: and that was a way to tell you that telling someone something like that isn't going to work that way. [20:48] can someone just answer a quick question. I don't remember, but when using the Hardy Heron liveCD, did it give an option for a text based install without having to actually boot up from the CD first? [20:48] MSI [20:48] i only hope that ubuntu display driver gets fixed before release [20:48] i alsways get crippled display until i manually put driver="vesa" [20:48] Is it built onto the motherboard ?

[20:49] Not sure, sounds like a driver problem.. sorry for the generic answer. I had the same issues with my NIC but it was fixed once I updated to a new driver and disabled IPv6 [20:49] hmm [20:49] ok i don't understand sudo mount -o loop=/dev/loop/0 /path/to/iso /mount/point [20:49] I see, thank you very much anyway, Ferox =) [20:50] here is path [20:50] i'm trying to install build-essential, but t has a problem with libc6-dev, when i try to install it i get: libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.7-10ubuntu4) but 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu6 is to be installed [20:50] /home/george/.azureus/Documents/Azureus Downloads/Battlefield_2142-Razor1911 [20:50] Gnea: well am pointing out the things that need to be improved in ubuntu [20:50] George111: Sorry for slow response, try running "photorec_static" in a terminal once you have it installed - otherwise get back to me and I'll try and help you with installing it [20:50] Can anyone tell me what Samba's default port is?

[20:51] tyler_: /join #samba [20:51] Gnea: plus the only reason i use windows is because of games, that need direct x to play and open gl and stuff which apparentlu dont work in ubuntu, not even if i use wine, they dont work [20:52] graingert: didn't work [20:52] why do i have to 'enter password for default keyring to unlock' So that my wifi may work? why cant it just do it automatically [20:52] hey guys what command can I do to get system specs [20:52] i'm trying to install build-essential, but t has a problem with libc6-dev, when i try to install it i get: libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.7-10ubuntu4) but 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu6 is to be installed [20:52] Hoover_4000: that's porbably because you aren't aware of the cedega program, which allows games to work in linux that require directx. [20:52] I've been trying for days to get this sound problem to work - how to cut off speakers when headphones are plugged in? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Or use a IDE that does it, etc. Lets see about finding a gcc tutorial thing. http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~beechung/ref/gcc-intro.html [22:03] George111: is that fatal, or just a warning [22:03] just a warning [22:03] George111: ok, so don't worry [22:03] how do I remove the name of the day from the gnome panel? I want it to say just "Oct 26 18:01" instead of "Sun Oct 26 18:01" [22:03] christopher: you told me earlier i think [22:03] it says could not display run dialogue [22:04] Spet, I didn't I figured it should work [22:04] so I guess that-s fata. I'm running from the live cd [22:04] George111: give it a minute see if it launches [22:04] christopher: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03) [22:04] ok, thanks [22:05] Any packagers around?

[22:05] why do i have to keep authorizing my wifi... cant it just automatically put the password in [22:05] Flannel: thanks a bunch for that, i remember the hello world tutorials lol...

It gets to one point in the livecd boot and hangs. [22:06] Daps: gcc is just a compiler, your editor will be whatever text editor you prefer. (Or you can use an IDE like anjuta or eclipse) [22:06] Ubuntu didn't recognize the ath0 interface [22:06] Flannel: for example in Windows i used to use Code Warrior, and it was just as simple as clicking on the icon and there it is.. the open screen for me to start coding.. then i just pressed a compile button and it make it... well.. it made it work.. [22:06] Flannel: Hardy 8.04 [22:06] christopher: its the wireless card in dell XPS M1330 [22:06] Flannel: ahh, i see... i am seeing the difference now [22:06] why do i have to keep authorizing my wifi... cant it just automatically put the password in? [22:06] Daps: Right, that's an IDE. Look into Anjuta, sudo apt-get install anjut [22:06] Decepticon: if you can't manage the principals of a file system - your going to struggle with learning c++ [22:06] Daps: er, sudo apt-get install anjuta [22:07] what?!

[22:36] how do you get the black from around the cairo dock [22:37] xomp: If you shrink your Ubuntu partition to 16G, (and expand the other one to 17), you can then move your current partition to the later one, and then you'll have freespace next to NTFS, and you'll be able to expand it. [22:37] Naisenu: are you currently in your livecd? [22:37] Raylz: Yes.

Minimal CD is alternate CD, except doesn't contain packages (and relies on the internet), the alternate will get packags from the internet if available. So don't package the minimal CD separate, that's duplicated functionality. [22:41] ubottu, thanks will see if i can find it :) [22:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:42] faultreporter: try clicking on the dropdown that selects the search engine and choose manage engines, choose restore defaults. does that help?

[22:44] Izinucs this is what it said..... error no arguments specified!

[22:45] well its deff crashed right now lol [22:45] mxweas: if you've created the partition then start the installer and when it gets to the partitioining part choose manual.. identify which partition is the 8gig one and tell it to install there. [22:45] !swap [22:45] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough.

[22:51] _smau_: thanks [22:52] Hoover, you can run sudo fdisk -l and find out what partitions are on your drive. If you see the partition called /dev/sbe for example see the size and if it matches up to this size of your flash drive you can attempt to mount it. with sudo mount /dev/sdbe [22:52] Hoover_4000: what shows when you go into "Places" > "Computer"?

[22:59] Flannel: wait.. so the server edition comes with things that the desktop edition does not come with? [22:59] Daps: Your current directory [22:59] Raylz: It worked ... except how do I make it so I don't need to press Esc to see all the options? [22:59] it would be so nice if you could choose your environment at the installation [22:59] Daxx: copy and paste this.. middle button on a lappy is both right & left buttons at the same time.. lshw > ~Desktop/Hardware.txt... looks like you had too many spaces in your rendition. [22:59] Naisenu: sec [22:59] perillux: All editions merely come with different default packages installed, you can convert from one to the other, etc, at will. [22:59] Flannel: and how do I do that? "you'll want the generic kernel, instead of the server kernel"? [22:59] Raylz, that would require rather large disks, more like DVDs not CDs [23:00] perillux: well honestly, I think it would be simpler to start with the desktop and then add the server things. [23:00] when the new ubuntu comes out will existing users just be able to update to it sence it does not cost money???? [23:00] Izinucs same thing no such file [23:00] Raylz, alternatively install a server and then apt-get [xk]ubuntu-desktop [23:00] theJKH: yes [23:00] theJKH: yes [23:00] http://img126.imageshack.us/my.php?image=errorgziphf2.png check this gzip error [23:00] Thank god [23:00] Flannel: well I don't want the server things at all, I just want the desktop.

It's a different mind shift from windows land. :) [23:14] what about for ubuntu 8.04 how shall i install flash for firefox? [23:15] Izinucs hehe yes... yes it is [23:15] mrrcp [23:15] never mind i see [23:15] Izinucs whats the getdeb link for? [23:16] Daxx: one thing that helped me understand a lot was "Beginning Ubuntu Linux".. available at B&N.. getdeb is a link for the most up to date versions of a lot of the popular games.. [23:16] Mrrcp, I usually go to www.miniclip.com since it is an flash enabled site. It will ask Firefox to install flash and you will receive the install flash prompt. [23:16] how is aptitude different than apt-get? [23:16] its really not [23:16] chovy: aptitude is kde's package manager [23:16] aptitude is the program runs in shell [23:16] chovy: aptitude is a work-alike to apt-get, but in some ways it's a bitmore user-friendly. [23:17] xomp: aptitude is also in gnome.. [23:17] Izinucs oh ty im assuming my laptop specs are not the best so some games just wont run regardless [23:17] Izinucs such as WarHammer... lmao [23:17] Izinucs: I've yet to see "aptitude" specifically in Gnome, have only seen it in KDE. [23:17] Daxx: you'd be supprised.. if you're running compiz.. they will probably run.. if they are designed for windows it's anybody's guess. [23:17] chovy: e.g. you would do "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-cache search emacs" and then "sudo apt-get install emacs22" [23:17] xomp: open a terminal and type aptitude.. it's always there. [23:17] Has anyone used the Ubuntu Live Usb tool? http://klik.atekon.de/liveusb/#download <---I am creating the live usb and it has been saying 'please wait device is still active' for over 30 minutes. Shouldn't this be done by now? === Jguy2 is now known as Jguy [23:18] Izinucs are you familuar with WINE?

I am only using it in terminal [23:18] puff: cool. thanks [23:18] TANATHOS: No === danopia_ is now known as danopia [23:18] TANATHOS: No, aptitude is a shell utility. [23:18] Izinucs: I can't be arsed to do such now but I'll take your word for it. [23:18] i got problems installing my Impresora. [23:18] Daxx: some.. for me it's a pain but it works for a lot of people.. check their site for win compatibility of specific games. [23:18] lexmark z32. [23:18] if it does not run in x server it's futile to say that it belongs to kde or gnome, am I wrong? [23:19] Izinucs so ihave to disable compiz to play some games? thats what you said right? [23:19] xomp: arsed? [23:19] TANATHOS: aptitude has nothing to do with X [23:19] Daxx: some yes.. you'll know [23:19] i just got an ssh "connection reset by peer" error when logged in via shell. [23:19] LjL: I know that [23:19] Izinucs: http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/can%27t+be+arsed [23:19] I was just making a point [23:19] TANATHOS: so yes, it's futile to connect it to GNOME or KDE either. [23:20] Izinucs will it crash compiz or just be a pain... ( sorry im about 2 weeks into this ubuntu adventure ) [23:20] xomp: AH! thus the difference between British english and American.. it has different implications here. [23:20] xomp: aptitude is not KDE's package manager. that's complete nonsense. [23:20] you might be thinking of Adept. [23:20] Question: my laptop hard drive failed, I'm using a live CD and it's doing okay, but does take a while to boot. Once it's booted, I use suspend-to-ram to avoid rebooting, but eventually have to reboot (presumably stuff fills up my ram disk). It looks like it's going to take another 2-3 weeks to replace my hard drive. Any suggestions for ways to improve my life until then? [23:20] Daxx: It'll hang.. doesn't mean you need to reboot.. that's typically not necessary. there are other ways of closing a stuck program.. without taking the entire system down. [23:21] LjL, ah that's right, it was Adept. [23:21] ok [23:21] so [23:21] I got ubuntu working on my macbook pro [23:21] I used the server version [23:21] Izinucs oh okay gotcha... well thanks for your time, you have been a big help [23:21] how do I get ubuntu to use the macbook pro wifi card? [23:21] puff: boot from a USB key or SD [23:21] and use that [23:21] LjL: SD? [23:21] Daxx: no problem.. learn what you need to do at the time you need to do it and it will stick.. :) [23:22] sd card [23:22] puff: Secure Digital card, many laptops come with a card reader for those [23:22] I tried to build an ubuntu boot CD about eight months ago (for a friend), is it it easier these days? [23:22] Er, ubuntu boot USB key. [23:22] LjL: Ah. [23:22] puff: it was never hard as I remember it [23:22] puff: if your BIOS supports HD-style booting of USB keys, then i think you can simply install Ubuntu onto the SD card as if it were a hard drive [23:22] Izinucs, yeah i got sick of windows and wanted to learn something new linux is actually quite the brain teaser at times but im digging it [23:23] USB key, whatever [23:23] m. [23:23] alright later room, until next time ! ::waves:: [23:24] Daxx: you're where I was at 2 years ago.. since I have to have windows for some work sites and programs I run a version of win in a Virtual machine. Makes life easier. [23:24] I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 and rhythmbox crashes when I launch it [23:24] hey, anyone using evolution to connect to an exchange 2007 server? [23:25] hello all [23:25] i am looking for a software for organizing notes [23:26] jariep1_, Tomboy? [23:26] jariep1_ : there is one in the mozilla package [23:26] and one more in the ubuntu office software [23:26] FreshUbuntuNoob, is there anything available that will work in java [23:26] jariep1_: Tomboy.. built in [23:26] or in windows [23:27] jariep1_: check ##windows for windows programs [23:27] ok [23:27] jariep1_: search mozilla suite [23:27] Izinucs [23:27] Izinucs and TANATHOS [23:27] go ahead [23:28] how can i configure a broadcom 43XX? [23:28] I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 and rhythmbox crashes when I launch it [23:28] I'm looking for help getting an internal Sprint EVDO card working under Intrepid Ibex [23:28] is it possible to play ra rm and rmvb files?? [23:29] how do i force ubuntu to forget about my on-mobo sound card, and only use the pci sound card? [23:29] !codecs > kernando (kernando, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:29] kernando, please see my private message [23:29] kc8pxy: i guess blacklisting the module responsible for it (lsmod | grep snd) would be a crude but effective way [23:29] <[Solars]> kc8pxy disable the onboard sound in your bios [23:30] fattmoley : what kind of card [23:30] anyeon know what causes "Bad magic number in super-block while opening filesystem" when running debugfs [23:30] fattmoley: wireless, broadband? [23:32] helllo [23:32] *hello :) [23:33] <||ChAoS||> Anyone around that might be able to offer some suggestions on confuruing NForce2 audio stuff with a limited front end (mythbuntu) I found an article but cant do some things based on the limited ui. [23:33] I'm trying to setup bridged networking on Ubuntu, per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#Networking [23:33] however, something doesn't work, and vbox says "Failed to initialize Host Interface Networking. VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED)." on start-up. I also don't see "vbox0" in the output of ifconfig. what am I doing wrong? [23:37] is it possible to upgrade from ubuntu server intrepid to xubuntu (the package xubuntu-desktop doesn't seem to exist) [23:37] 8-) [23:37] rfrawley: upgrade? what? [23:38] why canti mount my 16gb sd card? error readsmust [23:38]  rfrawley install just the xfce [23:38] error reads must be superuser [23:38] is there a standard/proper way to setup a shared "public documents" that 'nobody' owns? [23:40] Zerothis: samba does that [23:40] Zerothis: make thedirectory owned by root and give the sticky bit? like /tmp? [23:40] hey how do i change into a directory that has a space? [23:40] "" [23:40] rfrawley: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop [23:40] use "folder " [23:40] *tries and thanks! [23:40] try that [23:41] uglyfrog: use " " or \ word [23:41] ok, so no, there isn't I guess. I'll just keep the one I manually setup [23:41] Is it possible to install ubuntu on a USB flash drive with an encrypted root (using the alternate installer CD)? [23:42] kitche, castillo , thanks. worked like a charm [23:42] Zerothis: that why we like linux, there is now proper way there is only your way [23:42] hello [23:42] my way involves a sharp knife and a life chicken [23:42] I'm running out of chickens though [23:43] how can i configure a broadcom 43XX?? [23:43] castillo: that's a wireless network card? [23:43] yes [23:43] !wifi [23:43] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:44] that;s your answer [23:44] castillo: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ [23:44] thanks all... [23:45] hi im thinking of installing ubuntu over windows but i have a question.. can it use the internet ? [23:45] yes === ce_juteeeeexxxxx is now known as pure [23:45] TANATHOS: Yes, that does have its appeal. But I like some of the things I configure to work for anyone else who wants to use it, without having to explain it. For instance, if someone adds a user to the church computer, that 30 people use, I want a "Public Documents" folder link to automatically be created on the desktop. [23:46] hey hey [23:46] Zerothis: just change /etc/skel [23:47] Flannel: AH! there *is* a standard/proper way to do it. thank you [23:47] can anybody help with setting up the bridged network to VirtualBox? I posted the problem above [23:48] any body know what application that i should use to convert my picture [23:48] can someone help me find an older kernel package from a live cd? [23:48] i've no idea where it might be [23:49] seele, What Kernel version are you looking for? [23:49] <||ChAoS||> Trying to follow steps here, with limited UI... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30076... can anyone tell me where the confir for step 2 and step4 are written? [23:49] any body know what application that i should use to convert my picture [23:49]  flice: convert input.jpg output.png [23:49] Formode: whatever was on alpha 4 [23:49] axtr: err?.. [23:49] ce_juteeeeexxxxx, Try Gimp. Right click on the image and open with gimp :) [23:50] seelee, Sorry, I have no idea. [23:50] Formode: do you know where the deb package is listed/downloadable in launchpad? i tried looking there but i couldnt find it [23:50]  flice oh sorry [23:50] Hello, does anyone know a good client to monitor syslog files with that isn't syslog-ng? [23:50] seele, I do not, unfortunately. Perhaps you could find it through Synaptic? [23:50] i meant is, my pict is more than 5,4 mb and i want it become 1 mb [23:51] syslog-ng isn't a monitor, it's a logging daemon [23:51] seele: Do you not still have it installed? (did you remove it?) [23:51] ce_juteeeeexxxxx: convert -resize 50% input.jpg output.png [23:51] Formode: bug 268565 so no networking [23:51] seele, Ask flannel. :) [23:51] Right.. I'm looking for a command line based monitor of syslog output [23:51] seele: Just choose the older kernel at your GRUB menu (you may have to hit escape after your POST screen to see your grub menu) [23:52] Flannel: fresh install no older kernels [23:52] ok i will try, but any application than that tool? [23:52] ce_juteeeeexxxxx, again, GIMP will resize and all that. It's essentially linux's photoshop. [23:52] I'm a linux n00b, but what the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu-studio? [23:52] huh.. no bugbot in here [23:52] seele: If you can find an alternate CD for alpha4, you can grab it from there [23:52] ubuntu 268565 [23:52] Miyavix31, Ubuntu Studio has alot of audio/video editing forware. :) [23:52] Miyavix31: ubuntustudio comes with a kernel and a selection of packages suited for audio/video/etc authoring/editing [23:53] miyavix31, Nothing else. :) [23:53] So they're the same thing, but studio has more pre-installed programs? [23:53] Flannel: yes, i have one.. i just didn't know how to get it off [23:53] ce_juteeeeexxxxx: gThumb or the Gimp [23:53] Miyavix31: yeah [23:53] MIyavix31, Yes. [23:53] Thanks [23:53] I have a question now, is there any linux IM that supports a/v for Y Messenger? [23:53] seele: do you have the alternate CD or the desktop CD? [23:53] Flannel: i tried adding the cd as an apt source, but the older packages weren't showing up [23:53] Flannel: live cd, whicever that one is [23:53] seele: just grab the deb file from it, and use dpkg to install it [23:53] i have try but my desktop so hard to open my pict in Gimp. then appear words "not responding" [23:53] Tanathos, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=788822 [23:53] ce_juteeeeexxxxx: Open your picture using GIMP (right click the picture and select open with "GIMP Image Editor"...or if it's not there, select "Open with other Application" and find and select GIMP) [23:53] Then select [23:53] Image-->--Scale Image-->....then adjust height and width...-->--press "Scale" [23:53] Flannel: right.. i couldnt find it. do you know the package path? [23:54] seele: LiveCD doesn't actually have packages on it (well, it has a few), you need the alternate CD [23:54] Flannel: oooh, that's probably why. hmm. might have another cd around somewhere [23:54] hello, does someknow know where can I get server related help? [23:54] seele: you don't have to actually burn it either, you can just mount the iso and read it from there [23:55] djdarkman: this channel, and #ubuntu-server [23:55] Flannel: i have to download it somehwere else because it's a networking bug :) [23:55] seele: that's correct. [23:55] seele, Do you have an odler live CD? :) === root is now known as Guest8211 [23:55] how do you run an executable from terminal? [23:55] just type it out? [23:56] An .exe? Uglyfrog? [23:56] uglyfrog: yep, and you can use tabcomplete too. [23:56] no . its built for linux [23:56] mhm *tries [23:56] uglyfrog: if it's in the $PATH, you just type its name. [23:56] Then yes, type it out, Uglyfrog. [23:56] Formode: i have an official 8.04 disk.. will that have packages or is that a live cd too? [23:56] uglyfrog: if it's not in the path, you should think carefully about whether you actually want to run it in the first place [23:56] Anyone (in europe perhaps) have an issue with evolution not taking into account the Daylight Saving change? All my appointments seem to be an hour ahead now - which is odd. [23:56] One more question. What's the difference between MyUbuntu and Ubuntu? [23:56] seele: No, that's the desktop CD as well (and wont have the proper kernel for intrepid) [23:56] seele, Well no but if you can boot from a live cd you can use networking, perhaps? [23:57] Formode: oh, great idea. yes, i have an alpha 4 cd [23:57] Miyavix31: MyUbuntu? or Mythbuntu? [23:57] miyavix31, MYTHbuntu, is for mythtv. :) [23:57] Er... all three? (To save me from asking more questions) [23:57] just typing it in doesnt work... [23:57] Miyavix31: no such thing as MyUbuntu. the only reference to something with that name i can find is a desktop theme. [23:57] if i drag and drop and nail enter it goes just fine though... [23:58] Miyavix31: Myubuntu (which I've never even heard of) is a third party spinoff, we don't support it, and have no idea. [23:58] My mistake, I'm kinda tired. [23:58] <||ChAoS||> uglyfrog: if your in the dir as the executable try ./myexecutable [23:58] Miyavix31: Mythbuntu is a MythTV thing. [23:58] Mythbuntu than [23:58] Miyavix31, if your a general user, going for Ubuntu standard, or Kubuntu, is probably best. :) [23:58] I prefer gnome, but thanks [23:58] Miyavix31: myubuntu is a gtk theme for youre desktop on ubuntu [23:58] miyavix31, me too! :) [23:58] ||ChAoS||, that did it. thanks much [23:59] can anyone recomend a system monitoring app similar to gkrellm ? what are people using for system monitoring lately ? [23:59] <||ChAoS||> uglyfrog: you can fix that by adding ./ to the end of your path variable so it always probes the local folder last. [23:59] Anyone know how to disable leave/enter notifications on Pidgin's IRC client? [23:59] while ubuntu is starting up.. loading the kernel drivers & such.. what log file can i look at to see the error messages?? [23:59] ||ChAoS||: and if that were a good idea, it'd be done by default. it isn't.
