[00:11] I was messing around in my setting and I reset my graphics card now when I boot up It wont load the GUI [00:11] lucax: metacity and emerald are completely different window managers. if you want to use the features of one, you have to be using it. [00:11] graeme: reset your graphics card? [00:11] changed the driver for it [00:12] so How do I pick the driver in the terminal [00:12] while booting my system halts to wait to see if there is a resume image. is that because hibernation is enabled? [00:12] graeme: how did you change the driver in the first place? [00:12] hey guys, how can I apt-get a 32bit package on a 64 bit system (to have it installed into /usr/lib32)? [00:13] i was trying to find the one for my card and I picked the wrong one [00:14] graeme: in the Screens and graphics panel? okay, i know how to help you. :) [00:14] okay [00:14] graeme: where u using the GUI interface to pick the driver? [00:14] no [00:15] oh yes I was [00:15] djhash, unplugging and replugging the pcmcia network card does not create any new output from dmesg [00:15] Anyone have any ideas on my flash issue?

Flash works fine, but I cannot get keyboard input to work. I can select the fields I want to enter information into, but I can't use my keyboard to enter it. [00:16] anyone know how to get flash to work on vuze using 64 bit hardy [00:16] Fezzler: Places > Computer. Right-click the drives [00:16] graeme: it might be an idea to have access to your machine while looking for support on it. [00:16] and I had just installed it before I changed the setting so there isn't any back up [00:16] ah [00:16] in that case [00:16] run this command [00:17] Bachiir: what browser? [00:17] okay I'll be back in a few minutes with the results [00:17] "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak" [00:17] and then try booting [00:17] exit [00:17] KenBW22: Then Properties? [00:17] :-) [00:17] epiphany [00:17] Fezzler: yea [00:17] it'll give you a low-res GUI and you can reconfigure with the graphical tools [00:17] Bachiir: try Firefox [00:18] Doesn't work there, either. [00:18] anyone? installing 32 bit package on 64 bit system? :) [00:18] Bachiir: i have problems with Opera and Flash [00:18] KenBW22: Is the one labeled Filesystem my first drive? [00:18] Fezzler: that's your ubuntu partition, yes [00:18] Fezzler: generally, Filesystem includes all your drives. [00:19] KenBW22: I see one labeled File system and one labled 96.6 9 media [00:19] Bachiir: what v of flash? [00:19] djhash, pcmcia shows under firmware capabilities but that's it [00:19] Fezzler: ilesystem is your ubuntu partition, the other is the other HD [00:19] kerin: So again, how can I see drive ATA0 and ATA1 and their free space [00:19] I have two hard rives [00:20] Fezzler: df -m [00:20] Fezzler: as stated above [00:20] The site that I need to run the applet on won't let me use firefox, it's really silly. I can access it on epiphany, though. I have the same problem with either browser anyway. Flash is apparently 1.3.7.8 [00:20] Bachiir: it cant be :/ [00:20] is there DOSBox for linux? [00:20] Greetings. Is ubuntu (livecd) able to boot the underlying OS, via some VM software? The wife still need WinXX for iTunes.. [00:21] masque7: yes. [00:21] Maybe... LNX 9.0.124.0, then? [00:21] Bachiir: makes more sense. whats the site? [00:21] ubuntu4me: you'd be better off running Frostwire in linux [00:21] www.mathxl.com [00:21] Computer: it might be possible you have a problem with the card itself.. but dont take my word for it.. i'm just a noobux.. [00:21] kerin: thanks [00:21] kerin: let me google [00:21] ubuntu4me: agh! wait. [00:21] ? [00:22] i have a directory index with images how can i get them all with wget? [00:22] ubuntu4me: my bad, i'm an idiot. thought you said winMX, which is a filesharing client. [00:22] Bachiir: no way for me to try it? [00:22] still confused - one of my drives in a 200gig but I don't see one being reported with nearly that capacity with DF -m [00:22] ubuntu4me: does she need itunes for the itunes store or ipod sync? [00:22] I don't think so. [00:22] direct rendering for two users logged in on intel gma not supported yet? [00:22] kerin: itunes store.. [00:22] sdx did you man wget, perhaps it has some tips on how to retrieve everything? [00:23] kerin: Starbucks give out free music weekly w/ her coffee.. :( [00:23] Bachiir: i cant help sorry [00:23] Bachiir: this is why i hate flash [00:23] ubuntu4me: ah. well, you could run windows through a VM inside ubuntu but you can't just boot the windows on your hard drive inside linux. [00:23] Yeah, I hate flash, too. One of my courses requires that you do online homework via their flash applet. It works fine on my debian box, but it's currently out of commission, so I'm doing it on this (my ubuntu laptop). I didn't realize that it had this issue until just now. [00:23] hi i'm new use at ubuntu , can i hack by ubuntu?!! [00:23] ubuntu4me: i've heard itunes works in Wine, but as far as I can tell that's a filthy lie. [00:24] kerin: Sure you can... w/ VMWare, but it's not on the ubuntu livecd. [00:24] Bachiir: you could try upgrading to flash 10 from adobe's site [00:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/63069/ [00:24] kerin: ok.. sounds like I'm SOL w/ the livecd then? [00:24] ubuntu4me: if you tried that with VMware, i'm pretty sure there would be configuration issues from booting into virtualized/different hardware. for instance? activation. [00:25] ubuntu4me: kind of. how adventurous are you feeling? [00:25] anyone speaks spanish [00:25] KenBW22: Check out my Pastebin [00:25] Fezzler: so what do you want to know [00:25] !es | jose [00:25] kerin: I don't want to hack VMWare, via a nfs share or anything like that, if that's what you're asking. Too much *nix at work. I just want it to work. [00:25] jose: 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. [00:25] es aqui ubuntu en español [00:25] ????? [00:25] ubuntu4me: because if you had a flash drive, you could make an ubuntu live-USB stick with data persistence. which'd let you install software, etc [00:25] who??

[00:27] hatemtmtm, that would violate the terms of the user license agreement [00:27] kerin: ok, thanks for the sugguestions. Would be a cool project if I had time.. [00:27] ubuntu4me: i'm still not convinced that you can actually, you know, VMware the windows partition without the guest OS flipping out and going "whoa, all my hardware is different." same reason you can't just pop a hard drive with XP into a different machine and expect it to boot. [00:27] hatemtmtm: Yep. Ubuntu is very condusive to programming in a number of languages. [00:27] hi i'm new user at ubuntu can i hack by ubuntu?? [00:27] hatemtmtm, that would violate the terms of the user license agreement [00:27] tnks [00:27] ubuntu4me: it shouldn't be terribly time consuming. if you google for ubuntu liveusb utility you should find a slick GUI tool to do all the heavy lifting for you.

[00:30] I switched my sceen, the must have been altered by nvidia-xconfig [00:30] hatemtmtm, I need to know why you need such information and verification that it is for a legitimate purpose [00:30] kerin: All due respect, dude, you said "df -m" not "df -h" [00:30] ubuntu4me: fdisk -l dangerous? [00:30] Fezzler: nope, but you'll need to sudo it. [00:31] suggestions on a "sidebar" app like in Vista that I can customise in Ubuntu [00:31] Fezzler: nope. Not w/ the -l [00:31] because my friends can hack with windows to other computers and i want to say i can hack by linux [00:31] Fezzler: still gives the same info, just in megabytes. [00:31] and i want to be different [00:31] Fezzler: df is neat like that. has a man page and everything. [00:31] Is there any way to change the resolution that the boot screen uses? the orange bar, its really low resolution right now and it wasnt like this before [00:32] TigranG: yeah, there is. gets a little dicey based on your hardware, though. [00:32] A few hours ago I asked if there was a way to run Vista inside linux. I'm dual booting and I'm too lazy to shut down to use programs on the other partition that I don't have on this one. Is there a way to run my vista partition from Ubuntu? [00:32] hatemtmtm, why are your friends hacking ? [00:32] chris_britton [00:32] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/63072/ [00:33] Hi! I just changed computer, and just plugged in my old hard drive because i want to copy my novell evolution files to my new ubuntu install, but when i try to copy the evolution folder i get the message: "The folder "pop" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to read it" anyone know how i can solve this problem ? [00:33] DropKickPhoenix: I just asked that same question. :) [00:33] TigranG: google "bootsplash resolution ubuntu", there's an excellent post about it - very comprehensive. [00:33] kerin: http://swik.net/Ubuntu/Only+Ubuntu/Fix+boot+GUI+resolution+in+Ubuntu/b5iro is that okay? or is there a change of completlely screwing up my system [00:33] Makefile.inc:91: *** KERNELCONF: /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-server/build/.config does not exist..

I thought I had a 6gig that was my boot HD, and a 200gig that was mounted as /home [00:34] TigranG: you can screw up your system, but not irrevocably. [00:34] FLanne [00:34] DropKickPhoenix: I think we're SOL. One suggestion is to try out VMWare.. I'm not sure it will work.. [00:34] hatemtmtm, you know you could be sent to jail for doing that type of thing [00:34] apt =? [00:34] kerin: ok [00:34] application? [00:35] kerin: im trying it [00:35] Fezzler: what does df -h show? [00:35] Flannel: My idea was the data on the 200gig would always be safe from a problem with the HD1 [00:35] I installed virtualbox but it runs from a file that expands in size not a partition, the previous answer I got was VMware as well. [00:35] Fezzler: right, thats the benefit of a separate home.

I wonder if my 200gig is partitioned in half. One half as /home and other as 96.5 gb [00:40] hatemtmtm: what you see in the movies is usually not "professional" or even accurate [00:40] b33r: Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:40] Fezzler: What does "fdisk -l" show you?

Is there any chance people would pay for a program(free as in free speech, not beer)?

[00:43] ubuntu4me: Okay, it tells me I have two HDs: one sda and sdb [00:43] b33r: i upgrade to 8.04 and now my wireless card is not working :( [00:43] sleven: you can, but you have to find better models for sale than windoes [00:43] ubuntu4me: have you checked VMware? [00:43] #ubuntu-es [00:43] Ca{P}RiCoRN, sorry to hear that ;s [00:43] b33r: u remeber : i was having flash player problem in the evening [00:43] yeah [00:43] My Ubuntu 8.04 is crashing everytime there is flash application with some kind of sound. Any known bug about it? [00:43] now wat [00:43] Flannel: I have no idea - someone here help me set it up [00:43] sleven, If you want an example, games like ETQW are highly successful. http://community.enemyterritory.com/ [00:44] djhash, is there a gui to config it? [00:44] i have to do some work on linux and i m stuck [00:44] Fezzler: Alright, is this a fresh install? or what? You're not trying to do anything else with these harddrives are you? You just want your home on a separate drive? [00:44] hi all my sound quit working recently [00:44] any suggestions for troubleshooting/fixing the issue [00:44] you got 64bit architecture? [00:44] Letterrip, this boot? [00:44] may have happened up to a week or two ago [00:44] usually have the sound off [00:44] Letterrip, Try this: sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload [00:45] Is there a way to disable caching of files (images, text, videos, whatever) completely in gnome and nautilus? [00:45] suggest me some thing [00:45] Flannel: I had lots of trouble upgrading Gutsy to Hardy so I did a clean install of Hardy and remounted the old 200gig as /home again [00:45] Fezzler: so this is more or less fresh? Do you have a liveCD you can use? [00:45] drop: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823876 [00:45] Letterrip, It reloads Alsa, it can help with your sound cuts out after sleep or such. === Guest98416 is now known as xfce [00:45] Flannel: Yes and yes [00:45] Fezzler: Freshness doesn't actually matter, we should be able to fix this without any dataloss, etc. [00:45] one of my partititons is unmountable from debian, I was able to mount it from a livecd and all the filenames were garbled, if I look at it from testdisk though I can see all the filenames properly [00:45] so does anyone know how to use testdisk to resolve that? [00:45] Formode - ah well it wasn't working after a reboot so [00:46] that isn't the issue [00:46] Fezzler: Alright, boot the liveCD, run gparted, and expand the first partitions on each drive (sda1 and sdb1) to be the entire drives, right now you've got more partitions on there, that are taking up space. === xfce is now known as Guest18302 [00:46] Letterrip, Hmm, that's really strange. [00:46] Flannel: "should" :) how about losing all my mapping [00:46] Drop: but that won't help me, since I'm trying to do it from the Ubuntu LiveCD. [00:46] i want to install google earth at linux [00:46] Formode i get "lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/tom/.gvfs [00:46] Output information may be incomplete. [00:46] " [00:46] hi all, I'm trying to compile php4 with a particular version of postgresql does anyone know how I would do that? [00:46] Flannel: So I need to drop off this to do that, right? [00:46] Letterrip, Yes I get that too. === Guest18302 is now known as Doctor_IP [00:47] Hello everyone :-) [00:47] Flannel: Is gparted easy to use? A menu selection off Live CD or command line? [00:47] ubuntu4me: it certainly does help me though. I'll keep looking in to virtualbox though... one question: Why would you want boot a native system through a cd run OS? [00:47] Letterrip, test out your sound for me. Please. Restart Audacious/whatever you use and try to play something. [00:48] I am seriously pissed to hell right now. === Zakster is now known as Peter_30 [00:48] I tried to do apt-get autoremove for some software, and it gets errors when it tries to remove it. [00:48] zachera: sorry to hear. but please watch the language. [00:48] Okay, so I've gotten that page to load in firefox, but keyboard input still doesn't work. [00:48] Letterrip, any luck? [00:48] How do I remove the software when it has errors upon attempting to remove it? [00:48] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (NVIDIA X driver not found) [00:48] that is the only error i get when i run cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log how do i fix it? [00:49] Formode nope [00:49] Letterrip. Sorry, then. :-/ It's out of my ability. [00:49] k thanks anyway [00:49] will try going to an older kernel [00:49] Letterrip, Try someone who knows everything, like Flannel. :) [00:49] do you have to partition the hard drive to install a new machine with virtualbox [00:49] Flannel: Still here? [00:49] Randall: umm, unstall the NVIDIA X druver? [00:50] Fezzler: Gparted is really easy to use, yes. And menu should be there, under admin, "Gnome partition editor" [00:50] Hi,all. I'm new to fetchmail, but where it stores my mail on my local machine? [00:50] bbl [00:50] I know you can use ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2 --with-pgsql=something [00:50] Fezzler: and yes, you need to boot from the CD, since you can only modify unmounted partitions [00:50] but I'm not sure what something should be replace [00:50] with [00:50] WSA i think i did [00:50] okidogi: Whereever you tell it to. [00:50] (*install the NVIDIA X driver) [00:51] hi everyone [00:51] wsa: I think i did how would i check though? and if it isn't installed how do i do it [00:51] Randall: can you pastebin both your xorg.conf and the output of lsmod for me? [00:51] Flannel: So boot with Live CD, gparted is a menu item, select used entire drive for partition, save/close, reboot? No data loss, no paths loss? [00:51] Does anyone have any idea how to get keyboard input working in flash? Keyboard input does not work in my flash player. I just upgraded to flash 10 in an attempt to fix this bug, but had no luck. [00:51] If prefs->screen res doesn't let me choose settings, where do I go? [00:52] Flannel: I use this command fetchmail -d0 -vk pop.gmail.com And I just configure the ~/.fetchmailrc withourt telling where to store. [00:52] can someone help with getting an ati hd2400 pro to work in hardy heron? [00:52] Fezzler: No data loss, no path loss (since they're still sda1 and sdb1). You'll end up needing to first delete the rest of your partitions, and then expand the first partitions. But more or less, those steps were correct, yes. [00:52] okidogi: It's in the default storage location then. Either in your mail spool, or somewhere in your homedir (perhaps ~/Maildir) [00:52] hellllo [00:52] anyone here good with html/css? how do i change the icon displayed on the pages tab??? or even know what this is called? [00:53] .last wsa [00:53] haha oops sorry [00:53] billybigrigger: That's the favicon, and you just need to make/set one. [00:53] billybigrigger, That is a favicon :) [00:53] buenas [00:53] Flannel: Last question - The 6gig is getting loud. Is it possible to move my Hardy install to the 200gig and not loose [00:53] thanks Flannel and Formode [00:54] necesito saber si es posible desde un shell installar una distro y como lo hago desde un cd === flemita is now known as chainoo [00:54] Fezzler: 6Gig is rather small, yeah. 20G would be better. However, yeah, there is. you'll use more or less the same instructions for moving to a separate home, except you'll be moving your / [00:54] !separatehome | Fezzler [00:54] Fezzler: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [00:54] billybigrigger: http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon [00:55] Fezzler: it's likely you'll have to update grub too, which is the first link here. [00:55] !grub | Fezzler [00:55] Fezzler: 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 [00:55] Sound hard guys [00:55] I can't get electric sheep to run in fullscreen. [00:55] I did some googling and found out it is possible to get it to run in fullscreen if you run it in mplayer. But, my problem is that when I try that it doesnt work for some reason. [00:56] it just says terminated [00:56] Fezzler: Not terribly, but if you do have a relatively clean install, backing your personal settings up and then doing an install would be simpler/faster [00:56] wsa: xorg file: http://pastebin.com/m849ecf1 and lsmod output: http://pastebin.com/m1b9e6706 [00:56] Flannel: Maybe I'll have someone walk me through it. [00:56] Flannel: Someother night [00:56] Thanks! [00:56] Okay, new development: I can ONLY get keyboard input from the number pad. The rest of the keyboard does nothing, but the number pad seems to work fine. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here?

[01:02] Randall: so nm about using the gtk tool [01:03] wsa: could you help with a similar problem, with ati?... [01:03] wsa: what do i do to check? [01:03] Hi can somebody please help me with setting up a small office network connection? [01:04] i still cant do python myscript.py from anywhere. i have the script in /user/local/bin/ [01:04] sleven: You'd have to do python /path/to/myscript.py or just myscript.py (may need +x) [01:04] wsa: how do i check that i have everything properly installed for my video card cause i've tried everything and like nothing works [01:05] lo.. i know is OT but does anyone here have a newzbin acct? [01:05] Randall: okay well the first thing to do is to is change your xorg.conf to be like so, but don't start X again yet === chainoo is now known as flemota [01:05] nyquist_: That's offtopic yes, try #ubuntu-offtopic [01:05] Randall: like so: http://pastebin.com/m1ecde86b [01:05] will users of a vanilla 8.04 machine be prompted to update to 8.10 when it's released?

[01:06] sleven: after you make it executable, you'll be able to do that. [01:07] Flannel? i cant laucnh a script from anywhere? people seemed to think so before(even though they couldnt make it work) [01:07] wsa: after i change that what do i do? [01:07] ok how do i make an exe out of a pythonfile? [01:07] sleven: Yes, but you have to type the name of the script, not start the python interpreter. Stuff in your path is only executable from everywhere, not accessible from everywhere. If I put myfile.txt in /usr/bin/, I don't expect to be able to type nano myfile.txt and fave it open that file regardless of my cwd [01:07] sleven: er, have.

[01:10] wsa: FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia [01:11] is there a way to connect to radmin in ubuntu [01:11] now do i have to do that spearately for each file or can i do it fo the whole dir? [01:11] Randall: mrrrr? that's strange; hang on [01:11] sleven: each file (although you can certainly use wildcards) [01:11] chmod +x /usr../* makes all executable?

[01:12] please [01:12] wsa: sudo modprobe nvidia worked i believe (it did nothing) [01:12] Is it a good idea to "update" from hardy to intrepid? [01:12] Randall: haaay good catch! [01:12] sleven: chmod +x /usr../* could be dangerous. onlu chmod the files you move there [01:12] I mean using apt-get. [01:12] what package brings kcontrol on ubuntu? [01:12] yoyoned, k [01:13] Randall: now do this 'lsmod | grep nvidia' [01:13] you should see it there [01:13] (modprobe is usually silent on a successful insertion) [01:13] nvidia 3932108 0 [01:13] agpgart 35016 2 nvidia,intel_agp [01:13] sweet [01:13] hubar, i and many others have already, make sure to backup your data if something goes wrong and just try [01:13] yoyoned, why is it dangerous anyway, could open a whole into my computer? [01:13] okay try starting X again -- if it works, that does not mean that we are done -- but tell me if it works [01:14] anders: What did you do ? [01:14] usually it messes up and i have to completely restart comp and i'm on wireless :( [01:14] sleven: there are some files that are not meant to be executable. [01:14] anders: and is it ok to upgrade distribution even when the official has not been released? [01:14] what package brings kcontrol on ubuntu? [01:15] hubar: If you don't mind (and are comfortable with) using a development version of the software [01:15] Randall: if that was really the only error, then it *should* work [01:15] sleven: in general, it's a bad idea to elevate permissions for no reason [01:15] what package brings kcontrol on ubuntu? [01:15] yoyoned, i see [01:15] hubar, the rc is out, and the final release is in 4 days, however, if you aim for maximum stability i don't see the point in upgrading [01:15] Flannel: hmm, I will wait then. :) [01:15] !kcontrol [01:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about kcontrol [01:16] ok [01:16] anders: Did you use any gui interface to update? [01:16] My nfs common utilities fails to start on start up [01:16] can u do most of the thinhgs u can with linux terminal with win command prompt? [01:16] sleven: not easily, no. [01:16] it seems a lot easier and more powerful, have never used wim prompt much [01:17] sleven: not even close [01:17] hubar, do update-manager -d and you should have a gui to guide you through the process [01:17] !cli [01:17] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[01:18] sleven: the comand line is like you said. Fast and powerfull. it is a bit to learn, but well worth it [01:18] hubar: You need to set your preferences to non-LTS only upgrades (in software sources/properties) and then it'll let you know automatically through update-manager [01:18] Arcticfox: You'll need to use wine, and you'll have more luck in #winehq === root is now known as Guest66827 === Guest66827 is now known as winterelf [01:19] Flannel: preferences? from synaptic? === paulj1 is now known as pauljw [01:19] hello, i just managed to setup a poptop (pptp) vpn server on my ubuntu server, and connecting/logging in seems to work on my home PC. but after that i can not open any websites nor use IRC or email... seems like no data comes through or something. does anyone know what's going on?

[01:28] Gnea: Let me see. [01:29] Gnea: The Window Bar stays. [01:29] i want to connect to my ubuntu desktop with a vnc client from windows, but i need to connect to THE desktop (:0) so that rules tightvnc out.. can i use the default vnc server that comes with ubuntu? [01:29] Gnea:Hello? [01:30] niccholaspage: what is the 'window bar'? [01:31] ok, i will ask in another way... someone knows what this dude did to his irssi in this link? --> http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi [01:31] (and how) [01:31] Gnea:The bar with the Minimize,Maxamize,CLose etc. === cooldude|away is now known as cooldude13233 [01:31] (From the big picture of his screen and so on) [01:31] winterelf: At what point? There's a lot of stuff going on [01:32] Can ubuntu work with root mounted as read only? [01:32] heh just for fun, u know [01:32] winterelf: This is not a good place to ask that question. If you have a particular bug, or need help understanding a term or something, that's one thing; asking us to read an article and explain it to you is not in the scope of the help we provide, really. [01:32] In the "Appearance Panel" Under the tab "Visual Effects". I set it for extra to see what it would do. And it made the screen on one user account all garbled. How do I restore it back to its original settings? :) All help is greatly appreciated. [01:32] hey Randall how did it go? [01:32] winterelf: you mean when he creates a highlight window? You want to get rid of that? [01:32] wsa: didn't work [01:32] What package provides MagickCore.h [01:32] niccholaspage: okay. now what happens if you turn compiz back off - does it all reappear? [01:33] Gnea:Let me see [01:33] wsa: crashed and when i reloaded it told me to run in low-res mode and my resolution is off now [01:33] Flannel: yes [01:33] Randall: the driver at this point is successfully installed -- it may not load after a reboot however [01:33] RyanPrior: u right sorry [01:33] :) [01:33] Gnea:My window bar is still gone after I switch to metacity. [01:34] winterelf: first you'll want to move to make that window active, and then /wc for window close [01:34] wsa: also when it crashes here is where it always pauses before telling me that i need to boot in low res: running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [01:34] niccholaspage: okay. is this a new installation or have you been running ubuntu for awhile now? [01:34] winterelf: so `/window highlight` should make that one active, and then /wc [01:34] anyone know assembler/FASM? [01:34] wsa: what do i need to do to make it work properly and um check everything is installed right? [01:34] Gnea: I did a reinstall like 2 days ago, So it is new. [01:35] im trying to run an assembler program , i have the FASM.exe untared but i get no command found when using it [01:35] command not found [01:35] niccholaspage: and has this problem been occuring since the first time you turned compiz on? [01:35] sleven: .exe are Windows executables [01:35] Gnea: No. I have always had Compiz on. [01:35] Randall: the proprietary nvidia driver is installed at this point [01:36] niccholaspage: so this just started happening witin the past hour? [01:36] Flannel: tnx, i just start to use rssi , don't know everything, but it's still good sssoft [01:36] Gnea: Yes. [01:36] sleven: If you install Wine and mark it as executable (chmod +x), then you can run it. [01:36] Randall: 'modprobe' loaded it into the kernel -- if your kernel does automatic module loading, we are done, if not, we need to add a line that says 'nvidia' to /etc/modules [01:36] niccholaspage: what happens if you make a new account, logout and login to the new account, turn on compiz and then run firefox, in that order? [01:36] so what do i do to fix it? [01:37] Randall: well I don't know why it crashed at this point [01:37] Can I remove the .compiz folder first? [01:37] Randall: how did you install this nvidia driver? what card do you have? [01:37] sleven: are you trying to use fasm specifically or do you want just a working assembler? [01:37] Geforce4: mx 420 [01:37] Randall: can you pastebin your Xorg.0.log again and remind me what nvidia card you have? [01:37] hello, i just managed to setup a poptop (pptp) vpn server on my ubuntu server, and connecting/logging in seems to work on my home PC. but after that i can't connect to anything... seems like no data comes through or something. does anyone know what's going on? [01:37] Hi,this is my question about fetchmail, can somebody help me? [01:37] http://pastebin.com/m25902793 === spastic_teapot is now known as spasticteapot [01:37] Randall: and how was this driver installed? [01:38] niccholaspage: what .compiz folder? [01:38] i'm not really sure anymoe [01:38] Gnea: In the home directory [01:38] Is there a way to find out what package provides a certain file. [01:38] mneptok: he installed linux-restricted-modules [01:38] niccholaspage: in which home directory? yours or the new accounts? [01:38] simprix: dpkg -S /path/to/file [01:38] wsa: that does not install graphics drivers [01:38] I renamed it [01:38] And still [01:38] Firefox does the same. [01:38] you what? [01:38] i cant find whats my bluetooth model [01:39] mneptok: according to the description of the package it does [01:39] wsa: nm. i read "ubuntu-restricted-extras" [01:39] Randall: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx [01:39] wsa: Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/m2d8f2832 [01:39] Gnea: I deleted the .compiz folder in my home folder, And nothing different happened [01:39] niccholaspage: no no no, you need to make a whole new account, from scratch - renaming isn't going to prove anything. what we need to figure out is whether the problem is system-wide or just with an account setting. [01:39] Randall: does that tell you "package already installed?" [01:40] is kde3 still supported, namely k3b? or is everything kde4 now? [01:40] help me please... i want to install a software from tarball, but i stuck on 'make' command.. when i enter make, terminal shows me bashL: ***./make: no such file or directory... why? [01:40] ncfi1013_: It is still supported. KDE in Hardy will be supported for another year or so. [01:40] ncfi1013_: *nothing* KDE4 is officially supported [01:41] mne: i'm pretty sure mine is a legacy driver [01:41] niccholaspage: whats exactly your problem ? [01:41] beyta: what? u cant compile something from tar ball [01:41] mne: so would it be all that stuff -legacy [01:41] Gnea:Brb. [01:41] Uplink: yes.. i can't compile it. [01:41] beyta: ... [01:42] wsa: if you didn't see the pastebin of xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/m2d8f2832 [01:42] beyta: why would u want to compile something on .tar? i dont think you can... =\ [01:42] Randall: ah right. you said a GeForce4 MX. -legacy is what you want. [01:42] Uplink, i want to install.. i have extract... [01:42] mne: tells me nvidia-glx-legacy is newest version [01:42] beyta: what software is this? [01:42] then why can't i get k3b to burn discs on either a dvdr or dvdrw? [01:42] beyta: pastebin what appears on your screen may help ;) [01:43] beyta: then extract... [01:43] Randall: reboot. boot to recovery mode. run the "xfix" option from there. [01:43] beyta, you need to type make, not ./make [01:43] i've tried that [01:43] mne: after running xfix what should i try [01:44] Uplink, all software i want to install... i just want to make manually.. download the tar ball, extract and type cd.... ./configure.... make..... but make command stuck me for all software... [01:44] Randall: after that, boot normally, and look at System > Admin > Hardware Drivers [01:44] mne: is there anything i should uninstall as well [01:44] beyta: what software is this? [01:44] then why can't i get k3b to burn discs on either a dvdr or dvdrw? [01:44] WelshDragon, i have try make also... [01:44] beyta: what sw [01:45] beyta: have the configure step worked correctly? [01:45] but terminal still show command not found... sometime 'no such directory'.... [01:45] beyta: What are you trying to install though? [01:45] * mneptok stares [01:45] mne: as well as uninstalling conflicting things (give me an idea) do i enable it in in hardware drivers after xfix [01:45] Randall: correct [01:45] ettercap [01:45] !info ettercap [01:45] ettercap (source: ettercap): Multipurpose sniffer/interceptor/logger for switched LAN. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.7.3-1.2ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 187 kB, installed size 420 kB [01:45] mne: what things would conflict possibly and mess it up [01:45] beyta: That's in the repositories, yeah. [01:46] beyta: install from the repo [01:46] beyta: sudo apt-get install ettercap [01:46] how do I install flash 10 ? [01:46] Flannel, i know about apt-get... just i want to install manually... [01:46] mne: sorry last question will i have to go through getting the driver installed again? by adding nvidia into xorg.conf? [01:46] beyta: why? [01:47] Randall: you should *never* manually edit xorg.conf [01:47] Randall, finish typing a nick with TAB otherwise the person you're talking to won't get your message to them highlighted increasing the chance of not seeing your message. [01:47] beyta: why not install form the repo? [01:47] ddmdllt: i just want to try assembler [01:47] mneptok, repo? [01:47] scunizi sorry explain? [01:47] * wsa has only ever used xorg.confs that he has written himself [01:48] Gnea: It is not System-Wide, The other user was fine. === John is now known as Guest36544 [01:48] beyta: sudo apt-get install ettercap [01:48] Randall, your conversation to mneptok you always type mne.. and thats it.. on his side it's not highlighted.. [01:48] mneptok: : so i won't need to do anything after the reboot and should just try enabling and see what happens [01:48] Gnea: You here? [01:48] scunizi: ok got it [01:48] mneptok, i just don't want because i want to try manually... learn everything... apt-get i know... but tarball i failed... [01:49] sleven: trying using the gnu assembler may be a better choice ;) [01:49] beyta: if you don't know why make won't work for you, and you don't know what a repo is, you're really not ready to be compiling software yourself yet. walk before you run. [01:49] Randall, np.. TAB helps complete nicks.. type the first few characters and hit tab.. [01:49] beyta: there's no bragging rights inherent in compiling. [01:49] Randall: quite right. [01:49] beyta: doing it manually won't give you a whole lot of information, instead of sudo apt-get install ettercap, you just configure, make, make install. one command vs three, not a whole lot of insight. [01:49] mneptok: k, going to give it a shot :) [01:50] Randall: via con dios :) === schmick_ is now known as Schmick [01:50] Flannel, i try make form tarball, because, maybe sometime i don;t have connection internet... so i need to install from tarball. [01:50] Flannel, he'll probs go back to app when ge realises he needs several dependencies :) [01:50] *apt [01:51] beyta: that makes no sense [01:51] beyta: If you don't have an internet connection, you're not going to magically have the source. [01:51] !emulator [01:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about emulator [01:51] !emulation [01:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about emulation [01:51] mneptok: there are 'the object code uses the full instruction set of the cpu it runs on if I have compiled it correctly' rights [01:51] Hi, is anyone currently available to help me? :) [01:51] Flannel, i download tarball from somewhre and back to my room then install it.. [01:51] are there any gameboy advance emulators that work fine on Linux? [01:51] !virtualization | MachinTrucChose [01:51] MachinTrucChose: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [01:52] which isn't anything to sneeze at [01:52] beyta: you can do the same with debs, actually. [01:52] wsa: packages from repos do the same thing. [01:52] MachinTrucChose, open synaptic and search for gameboy.. you should come up with references. [01:52] beyta: Synaptic will even generate a download script for you [01:52] mneptok: are you telling me that if I have a core 2 chip then the packages in the repos will be optimized for a core 2 chip [01:52] im having lots of performance issues in kubuntu 8.10 there is a 5 second lag just to open terminal does anyone know if ubuntu is equally hobbled? [01:52] ddmdllt, does it come with ubuntu? how do i call it? [01:52] wsa: this is why there are separate repos for i386 and x86_64 and PPC and Sparc and ... [01:53] <||ChAoS||> having problems getting my sound card working. Nfroce2 chipset, hardware test detects the card, but I get no audio during the test [01:53] Guest36544: Go to #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid advice. === hiptobecubic^ is now known as hiptobecubic [01:53] scunizi: no GBA emulators in Synaptic/apt-get. Only GB and GBC. There are some on Google though. [01:53] beyta: and you can see the script to guess what you have to downlaod (from a windows machine if you can't do otherwise) [01:53] mneptok: note that I said core 2 and not "generic x86_64" [01:53] wsa: are you telling me that the Core chips expand upon the i386 instruction set in ways that are not compliant with the i386 instruction set? [01:53] sleven: try "man as" [01:53] MachinTrucChose, run a windows one through WINE if you want to use a gba emulator [01:53] wsa: same for x86_64 [01:53] hello [01:54] MachinTrucChose, check http://getdeb.net.. they might have what you're looking for. [01:54] wsa: The kernel does the optomizations at runtime, yes. [01:54] !WINE | MachinTrucChose [01:54] MachinTrucChose: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [01:54] i made a link to my home folder and now i want to get rid of it [01:54] sleven: and install build-essentials if not already done [01:54] if i put it in the trash it will delete my home folder right? [01:54] wsa: plain and simple. *any* performance gains in terms of time spent will be more than made up for over the life of the package as the compile process. [01:54] isn't cedega better than wine? [01:54] Vantrax, but he's looking for a gameboy emulator.. gba [01:54] In the "Appearance Panel" Under the tab "Visual Effects". I set it for extra to see what it would do. And it made the screen on one user account all garbled. How do I restore it back to its original settings? :) All help is greatly appreciated. [01:54] kapace: If it's a symbolic link, just rm it. [01:54] Vantrax: that waas my next objective. But it's sad that we can't even get a native GBA emulator running properly on Linux. [01:54] SiON42X, i can [01:55] i can't remember === hiptobecubic is now known as hiptobecubic-afk === hiptobecubic-afk is now known as hiptobecubic [01:55] kapace: Open terminal, go to the dir where the link is, ls -ltr. If it's a symbolic link you'll see it in the perms and the -> arrow. [01:55] anyone using pm-utils? i want to run a script between memory and disk functions with s2both [01:55] mneptok: that may be the case for general use but you shouldn't sneer at people who compile things themselves [01:55] ok [01:55] wsa: IOW, an app compiled on your machine specifically may give you 45 seconds back during your use of the software. compiling will take >45 seconds. and when libraries get updated, expect breakage. [01:55] ddmdllt: i cant find build-essentials, no man page no apt-get [01:56] scunizi, gba stands for gameboy advance [01:56] MachinTrucChose, probably could, but i doubt the demand is there with wine being able to do it [01:56] I have a mobo with 4 SATA ports and fakeraid...trying to decide between using the hardware fakeraid, using software RAID during Ubuntu install, or just using the disks separately (one for kernel, one for /usr, one for /home, etc). Any thoughts? I was going to do 0+1. [01:56] smile [01:56] Vantrax, so what you were suggesting was to run an emulator made for win via wine? ok.. got it.. [01:56] mneptok: yeah don't do this here; you're talking to a gentoo user right now; I am not going to say that ubuntu sucks because you use pre-compiled binaries optimized for a broad range of cpus, don't tell me that my way sucks [01:57] sleven: build-essential (no s at the end) [01:57] wsa: i don't sneer at them. i sneer at the idea that using gcc "teaches me about Linux" [01:57] How to test if fglrx is installed and working properly? [01:57] mneptok: nobody said that [01:57] wsa: just like i never used the word "sucks" [01:57] keithclark, type glxgears into a terminal [01:57] sleven: yes bimberi is probably right [01:57] scunizi, thanks [01:58] keithclark, np === After_Math is now known as OpenVirus [01:58] probably, it's rare though ;) [01:58] By the way, Visualboyadvance is in Synaptic. [01:58] And is a full GBA emu. [01:58] yes i had it already [01:58] thanks [01:59] MachinTrucChose, see what SiON42X said above [01:59] Thanks for all the help. :*( [01:59] Peace [01:59] hi guys, i've been in trouble, trying to install cisco aironet 350 on my T30. [01:59] does anybody can help me out [01:59] MachinTrucChose: Go to Synaptic, search for visualboyadvance. Best GBA emu for linux. [02:00] So, anyone here know anything about RAID with Ubuntu? [02:00] can anyone tell me where to get cedega [02:00] sleven: don't hesitate to google the web about gnu assembler, syntax is a bit different from other ones [02:00] get-apt doesn't work [02:00] 20:53 < mneptok> wsa: are you telling me that the Core chips expand upon the i386 instruction set in ways that are not compliant with the i386 instruction set? [02:00] sleven: (order of operands for example) [02:00] wsa: It's over, please drop it. [02:00] wsa: Or at least take it elsewhere.

So i had to reboot it... then no more connection [02:04] ldiamond: Are you using network manager or something else? [02:04] ldiamond: Hardy? [02:04] on cegeda its not free and neither is crossover? [02:05] grammar question, in english a and an is chosen by sound not actual spelling right? or it hat wrong? a (J)Unix or an Unix? [02:05] sleven: I have a Unix box.

[02:11] Long story short I was traveling with my new laptop for the first time and instead of re-installing Ubuntu using LUKS I tried to follow online instructions to install and use encfs + fuse to encrypt my Home dir. Well I never quite finished the process as I ran out of time and could not get everything to work right so now I can't login. When prompted for my username and password at the Ubuntu login screen I get an "auth error". I recie [02:12] i get errors 17, 18, and sometimes 16 from gub [02:12] army12bc: You mean overwrite your Vista? When you install Ubuntu you can just erase the Vista partition. [02:12] not wireless, but wired [02:12] i'm XUBUNTU [02:12] l don't want to loose what i have done to ubuntu inside bista tho [02:12] groceryheist: You can use a live cd to rewrite the MBR. Can't remember how though. [02:12] cougar what is your nvidia problem? [02:12] Crud I forgot to add my question. How do I fix the above error? [02:12] vista* [02:12] groceryheist, you could boot the live cd, mount both drives, copy what you need to the ubuntu drive then reinstall grub to the drive you want.. or just do the grub thing and boot to do what you need. [02:12] army12bc: Oh, you want to turn your VM into a real machine? Don't know that you can do that easily. [02:12] ya [02:13] yes [02:13] grub> setup (hd1,0) [02:13] hello can anyone help me with X, and Nvidia card? [02:13] already tried that [02:13] did not work [02:13] cougar go ahead and ask [02:13] cougar what u need [02:13] i just did it [02:13] <||ChAoS||> anyone have time to help witha soundcard configuration issue?.. cant gt sound out of my card that is detected. [02:13] i tried editing fstab [02:13] but i don't know if i did it right [02:13] groceryheist, the link from ubbotu previously will help setup grub.. maybe you should set grub to hd0,0 ... grub can be in many locations at the same time.. doesn't hurt.. [02:13] i have 2 computers on my network one with windows vista ultimate and the other with ubuntu. i'm trying to figure out how to view a shared folder on the vista machine via the ubuntu machine [02:14] Most common issues for that one are --- no Nvidia control panel or How do I overclock.. but what other problems do you have? [02:14] i have a 9600 and for some reason X won't keep my settings, i.e two screens [02:14] yes i had that prob with my 8 series [02:14] Do you have the nvidia control panel installed? [02:14] scunizi and SiON42X: i have put it on both hd1 and hd 0 [02:14] jjdiamond: Download openfiler and make your life easier. ;) [02:14] groceryheist, were you trying to edit fstab to make grub work? that's not the right way. [02:14] putting it on hd0 my have been what screwed it up [02:14] envyg [02:14] SiON42X thanks. [02:14] yeah i have the latest drivers 177 i think [02:15] scunizi and SiON42X: i edited fstab to try to mount my xp drive [02:15] envyng cougar [02:15] but also the control panel with the nvidia label [02:15] only way to fix [02:15] i don't have anything important on the ubuntu drive, but i have a few important docs on my xp drive [02:15] giorgio: Maybe this will help you: http://icebreaker.wordpress.com/2007/11/03/wireless-ubuntu-710-love/ [02:15] !envyng cougar [02:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about envyng cougar [02:15] lol [02:15] and on Application->sistem -> windows wireless drivers, i tried to installed with that applet, but that is asking me for a xxx.inf [02:16] yeah i have that too, basically i save it to x conf file in the control panel but when i restart x it just goes back to a single screen... [02:16] back up ur config [02:16] ? cougar? do you have the Nvidia control panel? [02:16] in termical [02:16] yeah i do... [02:16] terminal* [02:16] i added this line to fstab: /dev/sda1 /media/The Almighty ntfs-3g force 0 0 The Almighty is the name of the drive [02:17] groceryheist, you need to say.. 'The Almighty' .. with the little ticks around it.. [02:17] ok [02:17] groceryheist, linux handles spaces differently [02:17] groceryheist: Bad spaces! Bad! [02:17] I was out of town for about 5 months and in that time I managed to forget my Ubuntu password. Is there any way to fix this? Can I just use a live CD to mount my old filesystem, copy off my personal files and then just install the latest version of Ubuntu and remember the pass this time? [02:17] sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_BACKUP cougar [02:17] groceryheist: or The\ Almighty [02:17] scunizi and SiON42X: it says the line is bad [02:18] alanbshepard70: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [02:18] groceryheist, also did you create a directory in /media called The Almighty?.. if not you'll need to do that as well. [02:18] SiON42X where can i find openfiler? [02:18] alanbshepard70: nothing that drastic needed, you can just reset your password [02:18] ok thats done [02:18] scunizi: oh [02:18] scunizi and SiON42X: 1 sec [02:18] jjdiamond: openfiler.com. It's an open source solution that allows you to set up network shares. [02:18] found it [02:18] thanks [02:19] I have mounted a windows share, and I have my Tmo G1 connected via SSh to the box with said share, where is this share located in the FS (in terms, where is it mounted to?) [02:19] Flannel: Thanks, you're a lifesaver. I thought Ubuntu would make it darn near impossible to get to my files since Linux users are very security aware. [02:20] alanbshepard70: physical access is always a weak point. And there's really very few ways of securing against it. (you can always do what you just said, boot a liveCD and copy off files, etc) [02:20] hi! === jesse_ is now known as Guest49853 [02:21] boa noite [02:21] i get not tab completion after typing 'sudo ' in a shell. I used to but no more [02:21] carissimos. [02:21] i didn't know there was an ubuntu ultimate OS. i think i'll get used to plain ubuntu before trying out ultimate. [02:22] Brasileiros no canal#? [02:22] <||ChAoS||> anyone around that can help with my sound card problem? [02:22] I downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD and when I try to install it and it is loading it stops and nothing else happens. Is there a way to install it from the using the existing Operating System Ubuntu 7.04 and inserting the disc? [02:22] Flannel: Oh I see. I think in that case I'll reset my pass, wait for 8.10 to come out and then use LUKS to make physical access less risky. Of course I could up forgetting my pass again and end up in a bad way. lol. Thanks again for the help. [02:23] Can anyone help me find a way to make my panels Glass. [02:23] alanbshepard70: Do you regularly have strangers walking around your tower? changing BIOS stuff to not boot from media and/or locking your doors might be a better choice. Certainly less troublesome (requiring a password to just boot) [02:23] Atomic_UE: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/28/turn-on-bash-smart-completion/ [02:23] The transparency trick is growing old [02:24] haydn, as far as i'm aware you can't, unless you use compiz and transparency, but that will make your entire panel see through, including icons/buttons etc, not just the panel background [02:24] I downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD and when I try to install it and it is loading it stops and nothing else happens. I'm installing in on an Acer AMD 64. [02:25] ASTURIAS, try selecting Safe Mode from the menu [02:25] wow, there are a lot of people here, its kinda funny watching them all scroll by on my G1 [02:25] hi [02:25] i needs help [02:25] Atomic_UE: I tried that and it is still stopping while loading [02:25] Atomic: http://screenlets.org/images/c/cf/69013-cap.jpg [02:26] ASTURIAS, then i'm not sure, sorry [02:26] sion, i remove the network manager, but still wireless conection doesnt appear on the network setting window [02:26] ok, done loading [02:26] ubuntu keeps logging me out [02:26] sion? [02:26] haydn: too much windows for me :) [02:26] ASTURIAS, oh you could probably stick the cds in when you're booted into 7.10 and i beleive it has an autorun thing that'll ask if you want to upgrade your isntall? [02:26] Is there a way to upgrade Ubuntu 8.04 using the Live CD? [02:26] Yeah I know, I don't want the pearl just the transparency [02:27] Flannel: I'm sure I could find a less painful to secure my comp with, LUKS just seemed like a sure fire solution. If you don't mind can I ask you another question since you're being helpful and informative? I just traveled with my laptop for the first time and after failing to properly implement encfs + fuse due to time constraints and incomplete online directions I can no longer login to the Linux partition of my laptop. Imediately [02:27] haydn, oh that's probably a PNG image with tranparency (alpha channel) [02:27] giorgio: Yessir? [02:27] whimpersd [02:27] haydn, kinda like a gif imag, but better [02:27] alanbshepard70: You got cut off at Immediately [02:27] Atomic: that was my fear [02:28] Thanks guys [02:28] how come in nm-editor (NetworkManager) everything is grayed out and there are no networks? [02:28] Flannel: .... Imediately after typing in my password ubuntu says authentication error and won't even let me type my password to login. How do I fix it? [02:28] also, nm-tool shows: print_devices(): didn't get a reply from NetworkManager. There are no available network devices. [02:28] how come when I minimixe my windows they dissappear, not minimize to the bottom taskbar, and how can I fix it?? [02:28] SION, i did, but still, the wireless setting, doesnt appear in the network settings windows [02:28] giorgio: I'm sorry, not sure how to help you from here. [02:29] alanbshepard70: No idea. I've never dealt with encfs personally. I'd try a liveCD and mounting it manually once youre in the OS, etc. [02:29] how do i see what drivers are installed for my network adapter? [02:29] thanks any way [02:29] ok, i have too many devices in my sound area, and half of them are not working right. [02:29] I've been manually switching between networks with network-admin, but I'd like to start using NetworkManager [02:29] Is there a way to upgrade from Feisty (7.04) to Hardy Heron (8.04) using the Live CD since it stops while loading regardless that I select Sfe Graphics mode etc? [02:29] is there a way to see which drivers have been configured? [02:30] no bitchx in ubuntu? [02:30] phaeton: No, it's been removed because it's dangerous. [02:30] Flannel: dangerous how? [02:30] phaeton: No. Its no longer supported upstream. [02:30] phaeton: privledge escilation holes left wide open, etc. [02:30] ic [02:30] set theme fear2 [02:30] hmm [02:31] phaeton: irssi is still in the repositories though [02:31] Flannel: Ok I'll give that a shot. Maybe my two screw-ups are good excuses to go through the effort of installing 8.10 and getting a fresh start. You've been a big help, I certainly appreciate it. [02:31] any help please [02:31] Pici: thx [02:31] what's up with network manager in intrepid? [02:32] siavash_: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid questions please.

[02:42] ASTURIAS, you mean run 32 bit ubuntu on a 64 bit machine? Yes. [02:42] ASTURIAS: absolutely. And I think the 32bit tends to have less bugs. So, if its not too much trouble, I think its worth a shot [02:42] Ok, Thanks, I wil download it [02:42] Redeemed: You shouldn't use the "ultimate edition", you should use a real version of Ubuntu [02:42] Really? whys thats?

[02:44] Hi, recently for some unknown reason all of my media players stopped being able to output sound, except for Last.FM. [02:44] Redeemed: well first off, the Ultimate edition isn't well supported, the second part is it has some things set up poorly and dangerously to your installs long term health. You likely won't be able to successfully upgrade, etc. [02:44] I've tried opening MOVs with VLC - no sound. Also MP3s with VLC and Rhythmbox aren't working. [02:44] But Last.fm works fine. [02:44] ok, I deleted all the interfaces in my /etc/network/interfaces; now I am getting somewhere...

As in I use my nvidia card for decoding on my mythbuntu PC by putting "-vo -gl" in my mplayer line [02:51] jjdiamond: and most things should be able to play flac, mplayer for sure, also check out audacious if you want something that acts like winamp [02:51] pleade help [02:51] i see, thanks bobbob1016 [02:52] CarlFK, if you want vmware get it directly from vmware.. It'll be up to date [02:52] so nobody has any ideas about the dash marks all over my screen? [02:52] i know it a software issue [02:52] CarlFK: Don't think it's on a repo.. copyrights prevent that.

[02:52] vmware-player is what I am looking for, but can't figure out what repo it is in [02:53] rocknlnx: Probably `sh GalleryRemote.1.5.Linux.VM.bin` [02:53] CarlFK: There's a .rpm that installs that package on VMWare's site [02:53] hansengel: there is a repo somewhere - either ubuntu, vmware or maybe a helpful person - been over a year sense I used it [02:54] I nomally use qemu, but trying to help someone out with running ubuntu in vmware, so I need to use vmware :) [02:54] CarlFK: Why not just download it from the site so you don't have to search for a repo? [02:54] hansengel, CarlFK .rpm's you don't want to install on a .deb system.. get the tar and install it .. it will compile itself [02:54] scunizi: I downloaded the .rpm and used Alien to convert to .deb [02:54] scunizi: compile.. that's so 1900's :) [02:55] haha [02:55] I downloaded OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz.

CarlFK no.. if you want it .. it's sudo ./vmware-install.pl or something and it looks for the compiler and does it automatically.. not like a self compiled program..

Do this: dpkg -L packagename [03:09] Flynsarmy: its easier to get OO 3 on intrepid [03:09] Flynsarmy: but, OOo has a deb (its actually a tarball of debs, like 30 of them) [03:10] Flynsarmy, /home/user is only the place for configurations - it doesn't usually contain any binaries [03:10] anyone working on 810 [03:10] uofm49426: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions [03:10] im trying to install ubuntu. im using software raid in the install. grub-installer says, wrong number of arguments.

[03:28] no...i mean what if i can't understand the techno lingo....i'm trying so hard to make ubuntu work for me because i hate windows, but i'm a totally point & click type person??? [03:28] Tardis: envyng [03:28] rainbowinfinity: point and click is fine. What specifically are you having trouble with? [03:28] the9a3eedi: use gtkparted to see what partition is your swap === w4ett is now known as w4ett-away [03:28] Hello, I'm not sure quite what to do. I installed ubuntu on an old P3 machine. Everything seemed ok for awhile, but then the network card started to work sporadically, then just quit. Since it was an old network card, I just ordered a new one. Installed it, it worked for maybe 12 hours without any problem, then just stopped working same as the last one. [03:28] i decided to resize my ubuntu partion to be moved to the left and let it grow from 27.95GB to 228GB, however since sda2 (my old mac partition was deleted) it seems that i do not have choice when booting up anymore [03:28] groceryheist, mtfs? [03:29] ntfs [03:29] ok, do you know if you have to escape that space? [03:29] paste.ubuntu.com/63103 [03:29] Tardis: you need to kill x and install via the command line for the nvidia released packages. its easier/ better to use the ubuntu prebuilt packages IMO [03:29] rainbowinfinity: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Standard%20installation those are four steps (just the first section) to install. Once installed, https://help.ubuntu.com/ walks you through most of the regular-ish tasks, and we have lots of pages for other stuff too, you just have to ask here and we'll be ableto direct you. [03:29] i just feel like i've lost a lot of functionality that i used to have...half my websites i can't go on because of flash, java or directx problems, and my kids are screaming to get vista back [03:29] A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept. [03:29] !flash | rainbowinfinity [03:29] rainbowinfinity: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:29] !java | rainbowinfinity [03:29] rainbowinfinity: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [03:30] that is the menu.lst in /media/disk-1/boot/grub [03:30] rainbowinfinity: Those pages will walk you through how to install flash and java, be sure to ask if you have questions. [03:30] kspace: I don't know if i escape the space [03:30] kspace: i did not try it [03:30] rainbowinfinity: but also, that help.ubuntu.com link has a lot of good information. [03:30] angel12-eee: I already have /dev/ps3da2 (I'm on a PS3) mounted as swap. I have an external hard disk connected, and one of its partitons is a swap partition.. and I'm trying to mount that as a second swap partition. But for some reason it's giving me an error [03:30] groceryheist, ok you might need to do that [03:30] groceryheist, is this a grub issue:? i decided to resize my ubuntu partion to be moved to the left and let it grow from 27.95GB to 228GB, however since sda2 (my old mac partition was deleted) it seems that i do not have choice when booting up anymore [03:30] rainbowinfinity, threre isn't anything to do about direct x.. java is in the repo's and installable from synaptic as is flash-nonfree [03:31] or to avoid confusion, don't use space in folder name [03:31] groceryheist, in grub, tab autocomplete root (hd0, [03:31] ok, thanks... i will try it :) [03:31] the9a3eedi: what error is it giving you exactly? and ive never heard of mounting two swap partitions at once... [03:31] the9a3eedi: and it wont help performance much if its an external drive [03:32] the9a3eedi, you'll have nothing but problems with 2 swaps.. only use one.. [03:32] kspace: abstortedminds: there are some grub aspects to this i issue, i should probably let you know that i put grub on hdo (my xp drive) and hd1 (ubuntu) [03:32] why does ifconfig run over at 4GB? === suparjo_parmin is now known as amad_bedot [03:32] thats ahrdy much of a measurment [03:32] hey guys... i had to compile and install alsa to get audio working properly on my laptop, but doing so has made speedstep not work on my laptop, i'm new to irc and dont know where to go so if someone could point me in the right direction [03:32] groceryheist, waht did you get when you autocompleted root (hd0, [03:33] I recently upgraded to Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex (last friday) and created another session like always to :1, now my mouse doesn't work at :1 but it does work at :0, what could be wrong? [03:33] Is it ok to disable the gdm service without affecting anything else? I'd prefer to log-in via console [03:33] LoCusF: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions [03:33] waan: Yep [03:33] angel12-eee: ah no.. can't explain, but basically the PS3 hard disk is pretty slow, so I was thinking to help make performance slightly better by mounting an external hard disk that's faster [03:33] Flannel: thanks [03:33] how can i tell if i have a firewall installed?? [03:33] !firewall | rainbowinfinity [03:33] rainbowinfinity: 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). [03:33] Flannel: It just warned my of "data loss" or something when I disabled it. Kind of silly [03:33] thank you [03:33] the9a3eedi: its only as fast as the usb controller, which is slow compared to an internal drive period [03:33] waan: There's no data loss for disabling gdm... unless "disabling" means something unusual. [03:34] groceryheist, do you know how to autocomplete in grub? [03:34] angel12-eee. Well, I'd like to try and see for myself === willwh is now known as willwh|afk [03:34] angel12-eee: anyway the error is: "swapon: /dev/sdc4: Invalid argument" [03:34] the9a3eedi: like i said [03:34] it will be slow [03:34] ok i think i got sudo mount to work [03:34] when i do lsusb i see Bus 002 Device 002: ID 041e:401d Creative Technology, Ltd WebCam NX Ultra but i have no /dev/video0 is there suppose to be a /dev/video0 [03:35] forced mount reset logfile [03:35] let me see if i can get on it now [03:35] wait there is nvm [03:35] angel12-eee: ok, say it was an e-sata hard disk. I still want to mount it as swap [03:35] hey, if I can change my screen resolution to 1680 x 1050 and set visual effects to high, does that mean my NVidia drivers are installed correctly? [03:36] yep [03:36] kspace: nope, the directory is gone now [03:36] tnx, too bad I can't seem to get cedega to work very well [03:36] i have vlc runing on my ubuntu box, i want to take teh webcam stream coming from /dev/video0 and push it to computer 192.168.2.151 on my network. how do i do this, thanks for any assistance [03:36] groceryheist, which directory? [03:36] the9a3eedi: try google [03:36] the directory to my xp drive [03:37] Flannel: ok [03:37] should i try grub auto complete now? [03:37] also this must be command line if possible [03:37] hmm [03:37] yes try that [03:37] ok [03:37] someone here tried so run this game "Crysis" on WINE? [03:37] angel12-eee: hmm.. might as well.. [03:37] lets just see what you have there [03:37] or what grub thinks is there [03:37] Kattollikisd: i doubt cyris could run on wine [03:37] Flannel: so is gdm just a wrapper for xorg with a visual login or something? [03:38] kspace: what was the command syntax again? [03:38] is it ok to have sda1, sda3, sd4 ? (with no sda2) === douchius is now known as _burlap [03:38] waan: Sort of, yeah. gdm is the login screen. By disabling it, you disable the login screen (and then X never starts) [03:38] i have vlc runing on my ubuntu box, i want to take teh webcam stream coming from /dev/video0 and push it to computer 192.168.2.151 on my network. how do i do this, thanks for any assistance. also this must be done by command line [03:38] waan: so you'd do it manually afterwards, etc. [03:38] groceryheist, first get into grub by typing grub in terminal [03:38] im in there [03:38] then type in root(hd0, [03:38] then tab [03:38] ok [03:38] actually [03:38] kapace, isn't it sudo grub? [03:39] yes it seems to run in wine, allways check the wine site [03:39] tab isnt working [03:39] works with out sudo for me.. but yea sudo grub [03:39] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10107 [03:39] im in sudo grub [03:39] has anyone here tried to play games on pogo.com and been successful??

[03:39] hmm [03:39] java [03:39] then in theory it should work [03:40] keep getting errors saying it can't connect to server [03:40] after all, java is multiplatform [03:40] tab is not doing what it is supposed to [03:40] <_daqing> i cannot find it in Nautilus [03:40] set theme fear2.theme [03:40] Flannel: which leads me to another question, is there a reason tty1 is reserved? [03:40] groceryheist, ok, open up gparted [03:40] waan: It's not reserved. Or, shouldn't be. [03:40] @ rainbowinfinity, I don't know about that [03:40] or try root (hd1, *tab* [03:40] set theme fear2 [03:40] _daqing: right click on the desktop. Choose "change background" then it will bring up the choices. One of them wioll be the original desktop [03:41] waan: Could have something to do with your dmesg output, but traditionally that's on tty2, might have changed I guess. But I'm not aware of it"reserving" that tty [03:41] angel12-eee: found out the problem. I should've mkswap'd the partition first [03:41] @rainbowinfinity, I'll try pogo.com real quick and see what happens [03:41] ok [03:41] cool...thx [03:41] it is scanning devices [03:41] k [03:41] Flannel: It was just never available for me to use, always had to use tty2. Maybe I should reboot after disabling gdm [03:42] <_daqing> genefitz: I know how to change the background, i want to know the file path of the origin desktop image [03:42] i tried again to make a script executable from anywhere so i did: [03:42] unable to open /dev/hda read-write (read only file system) /dev/hda has been opened to read only [03:42] after i use gparted to expand a partition do i need to do anything else? or should it work [03:42] same message for hdx and fd0 [03:42] ok === UB_ is now known as fj0008 [03:42] sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/podgrabber.py [03:42] it sees The almighty mounted to /media [03:42] Is there a way to make ubuntu wait longer before dimming a window for being unresponsive?

It's typically a software issue and booting to a live cd gives you almost everything you need. [04:04] like boot(hd0,0) [04:04] ? [04:05] it says kernel must be loaded before booting [04:05] well you need to put the commands in again [04:05] yea [04:05] or chainloader +1 etc [04:05] i don't know how to do that?

[04:12] During login (after entering my password) I get asked for another password - I think it asks for the root pass. [04:12] Shortly afterwards, I get told sudo won't allow it, so bootscript.sh can't run. [04:13] i still can't boot to windows or ubuntu [04:13] Tardis: like username and passwords? [04:13] waan: yea but if you have over 400 files for example.. kind of gets old [04:13] i'm sure there is a download manager that will handle it * looks around* [04:13] dang!@ [04:13] i can boot to ubuntu [04:13] waan, yes... that would be nice if there is any... [04:13] uglyfrog: whatabout ftp or wget? [04:14] if i edit the command in grub to root(0.0) [04:14] this is progress! [04:15] uglyfrog: if it doesn't allow directory listing than it probably doesn't want you to download that many files at once [04:15] waan: haha , on the contray. dont worry about it . [04:16] Can anyone tell me why a fresh Ubuntu install is acting up so badly? [04:16] I'm trying to switch my family PC off of XP... don't let me fail. :P [04:16] hey, how do i mount a folder in another folder? [04:17] I'm using xchat-gnome and I can't find a way to auto identify my nickserv password [04:18] am i missing something? or is that feature not in xchat-gnome? [04:18] mkartic: it's called symbolic linking, "ln -s foldername" [04:18] mkartic: mv /home/me/folder/ /home/me/anyfolder [04:19] rmarianski: If it's not in server list -> edit, then I guess not :( [04:20] rmarianski: xchat-gnome is crappy anyway imo, just install the regular xchat [04:20] Nobody can tell me why a fresh Ubuntu install is saying I can't do anything administrative? === crzyboi_Laptop is now known as hidemail [04:20] waan: gotcha, thanks [04:20] hilton, any specific errors or examples? === hidemail is now known as crzyboi_Laptop [04:21] hilton: you have to use the sudo command [04:21] csilk: Yes... the main one I'd have to logoff and logon again though. After logon, before the desktop appears, I get told bootscript.sh requires administrative privelidge or something, and asked for a password. [04:21] !sudo | hilton [04:21] hilton: 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) [04:22] Then I get told that sudo won't allow the change, that I'm not allowed to use it or something. [04:22] Can anyone help me out with a dvb problem ? [04:22] hilton: ahh, you're here I see. [04:22] i downloaded a source package (apt-get source ...)but i want to repackage it, how i'll do it? [04:22] hilton: did you get much help? [04:22] hilton are you sure you have a completed install? [04:22] n8tuser1: It said I was done... [04:23] groceryheist, works? [04:23] sorry i as afk [04:23] hilton: can you use sudo for other things? [04:23] strange thing is: doesn't sound like the sort of install I had, it seems to differ from mine. [04:24] maco: New to linux, so I don't know. [04:24] hilton-> which version of ubuntu is this? [04:24] Earlier someone asked me to try 'sudo -i' and I got no reponse to the command - went straight back to prompt. [04:24] 7.04 or 7.10 seemingly [04:24] hilton: it didnt ask for the password? [04:24] nope [04:24] 7.04 [04:24] hilton: did it change to "root@.... #" for the prompt? [04:25] No. [04:25] hilton: type "groups hilton" [04:25] See if you're in the "admin" group. [04:25] THIS time it asked for a password... sudo -i, Password: (entered), but then it still showed hilton@ [04:25] hilton: wait, 7.04? you know that hasnt been supported for the last week, right? why'd you install such an outdated version? [04:25] yeah. I suspect hilton's not in the sudoers list either. [04:25] If not, you need to add yourself to it. [04:25] if I use 'su' I can go to root [04:25] hilton: su? you set a root password? [04:25] No, the admin group is allowed to use the sudo command in Ubuntu. [04:25] hilton: huh??? You CAN?? [04:25] Its not on a per user pasis. [04:25] I remembered su from years ago...what's the diff from su and sudo? [04:25] whew. [04:26] hilton@hilton-desktop:~$ groups hilton [04:26] hilton : hilton adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner netdev lpadmin powerdev [04:26] hilton: well, ubuntu has the root account locked, so there's no password for su [04:26] hilton: it just wont accept any passwords if you su [04:26] maco: unless you unlock it and actualy provide one... [04:26] why cant i get nvidia cards to work with ubuntu these last couple of distros [04:26] actually... [04:26] maco, It is possible to log on as Super user. :) [04:26] Viking667: yeah...but thatd require using sudo [04:26] with 'su root', it will only take the proper password. [04:26] Anything else says 'Sorry.' [04:26] hilton¬ su temp makes your the super user, and sudo executes a command as super user afaik === FrozenFire__ is now known as FrozenFire [04:27] hilton: but thatd require setting a root password. and if you cant sudo, how the heck did you set a root password? [04:27] see why I don't think his install was the same as mine [04:27] ? [04:27] anyone know which driver to use for a nforce 430 Geforce 650se? [04:27] Formode, Viking667: im confused as to how root got a password with hilton unable to use sudo to begin ith [04:27] maco: I was in the Users & Groups app under System. (in GNOME) [04:27] how if possible can I get to a command prompt from the ubuntu login screen. I lost my GRUB recovery boot option and need to reset my password using the command line. [04:27] hilton: howd you get to that without sudo rights? [04:27] my understanding was having a password-less root was bad idea, so I set one. [04:28] hilton: it's not passwordless. it's just plain locked. no matter what password you try--brute force til the end of time--itll never work === kano is now known as kanito [04:28] THAT would be the question, wouldn't it? Seems that setting that password has disallowed my primary account from doing anything - the Users & Groups app has even disappeared from the list. [04:28] hilton: you took yourself out of teh admin group then [04:29] When trying to install openoffice.org3.0-debian-menus_3.0-9354_all.deb it says it conflicts with openoffice.org-core. This is a problem. If i try to uninstall openoffice.org-core it'll uninstall ubuntu-desktop won't it? [04:29] so how do I fix that? [04:29] hello [04:29] i remember back in the old days ppl would run tutorials on irc from time to time, weird we dont see that now with ubuntu [04:29] help on a video card [04:29] hilton: ah, yeah, only adm is shown there. i suggest you switch to root, then do "nano /etc/groups" and add yourself back to admin [04:29] maco i disagree [04:29] hilton look in your sudoers file, login as root and visudo [04:29] is openoffice 3 better than 2.4? [04:29] oly562: regarding? [04:29] brute force comment [04:29] ;) [04:29] ... /etc/groups is empty [04:30] so I have no idea what to put in there. :P [04:30] oly562: locking an account sets an impossible hash. no matter what passwords you try, you simply cannot reach that hasg [04:30] empty? then you are sol [04:30] *hash [04:30] *NOOB* [04:30] Trying to figure out how to make my 5.1 sound work. Alsa has already been told it's got a 6 channel system. A "speaker-test -Dsurround51 -twav -c6" tells me I have front left & front right channels but that's it. [04:30] hilton re-install to get a nice complete one [04:30] hilton: it cant be if "groups hilton" had output [04:30] I su root'd, now have root@hilton-desktop:/home/hilton# as my prompt [04:30] then did nano /etc/groups [04:31] and it says New File [04:31] hilton: er, group, sorry [04:31] hilton: not groups [04:31] impossible hash.. sounds good [04:31] ah hah [04:31] How can I rename my Windows Partition under the PLACES from "60.0 GB Media" to "WinBlows" [04:31] So which group am I going back in? adm? [04:31] any of you guys put Ubuntu on a Eee PC 1000HD? [04:32] I've got a line that says: adm:x:4:hilton,adrienne (adrienne being the 2nd account added) [04:32] hilton match it with the group you specify in /etc/sudoers file [04:32] hilton: admin [04:32] hilton: i think debian uses adm as their admin, but ubuntu defaults to admin [04:32] hilton is having problems with sudo? [04:32] yes [04:33] Not sure how the sudoers file works... I see: [04:33] # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges [04:33] %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [04:33] so that is the group? [04:33] so add your user hilton to group admin [04:33] assign yourself to the admin group [04:34] grep -i admin /etc/group [04:34] oly562: hilton set a root password and simultaneously removed hilton-self from the admin group so then hilton couldnt sudo [04:34] interesting [04:34] ewww. Is _that_ what happened? [04:34] * hilton hides in shame. [04:34] hilton: aw its not that bad [04:34] alanbshepard70: you still have your livecd? [04:34] i assigned a pw to root, and my "user" can still sudo [04:34] 中文 [04:34] good grief. You could doworse things. [04:34] Okay...added "hilton" to the "admin:117:" line. [04:34] he must have down something wrong [04:35] huisx: English, please [04:35] So that should do it? [04:35] elsewhere [04:35] huisx: ubuntu-zh [04:35] oly562: he didnt do it from CLI...maybe users-admin is funky? [04:35] maybe [04:35] hilton: yes, just save it [04:35] unless he said "ni hao" I haven't any ideas. [04:35] sounds buggy [04:35] Did... do I need to logout/login in gnome now? [04:35] gets out his raid [04:35] Viking667: first one was "middle" [04:35] maco: remember, this IS 7.04 we're talking about here [04:35] nothing is showing up (ie. the users app) [04:35] hilton open up another xterm to test it [04:35] no hilton [04:35] Viking667: which *is* unsupported as of last week [04:35] jump to another term [04:36] sudo -i puts me in root@ [04:36] cntrl - alt F3 [04:36] work in there [04:36] hilton: you really ought to upgrade soon. that version of ubuntu stopped being supported (no more security updates!) last week. [04:36] log out and back in from there, not gui === FrozenFire__ is now known as FrozenFire [04:36] whats does that mean maco.. supported? [04:36] i hate that term [04:36] oly562: no more security updates at all [04:36] lol [04:37] oly562: and pretty soon, no more repositories [04:37] do you own tightening , grap your own pkgs [04:37] so forth so on [04:37] means they are forgetting it ever existed [04:37] oly562: yeah, uh, i think thats a bit beyond most folks...quite a bit [04:37] there will always be a way to grab a file from somewhere [04:37] thats to problem, people are not really learning the system [04:37] oly562: all mirrors will go down soon...not sure how long. i know edgy's are barren [04:37] ic [04:37] even from the new repositorys:P [04:38] what ver? [04:38] oly562: feisty [04:38] thats the flavor [04:38] what ver? [04:38] hah. I'm on Hardy here... [04:38] should be using 8.10 [04:38] x.x [04:38] 8.04 [04:38] or 8.04 [04:38] oly562: you mean what number? 7.04 [04:38] im on 6.x [04:38] 8.04 is lts atm [04:38] Vantrax: assuming 8.10 is even released yet. What's the name of tat one [04:38] no i said what version [04:38] oly562: .x doesnt mean anything. there are 2 per year [04:38] not flavor [04:38] oly562: what do you mean by version? [04:39] oly562: 6.06 is still supported. 6.10 is not. 7.04 is not. 7.10 is supported until april. [04:39] interesting [04:39] 6.10 has issues? [04:39] oly562: 6.06 is supported on the desktop til june. on the server til june 2011 [04:39] oly562: its old [04:39] intrepid ibex [04:39] debian is old [04:39] Vantrax: edgy [04:40] Now that wasn't nice. [04:40] well i see you point though [04:40] oly562: ubuntu releases get 18 months of support, except long-term-support releases, such as 6.06 and 8.04. those get 3 years desktop, 5 years server. [04:40] so should i add something here: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/podgrabber.py [04:40] Sending a noob into something like that with no idea how to return to the gui. Meanie. [04:40] when 7 and 9 died on redhat. i felt that [04:40] apparently Lenny has gone "Stable" [04:41] hilton: if you want to get back to gui, press alt - F7 [04:41] etch is oldstable now? [04:41] Okay so the prompt I get during login is [04:41] ;) opps [04:41] The command 'sh '/something/blah/bootscript.sh'' requires administrative privelidges to runil [04:41] what package contains GLICT dev files? [04:41] oh and thats a basic linux skill that he must know [04:41] so I had to enter the root password [04:41] This time I didn't get the denial though. [04:41] sorry forgot to put the F7 to get back. shrugs [04:42] so should i add something here: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/podgrabber.py , i want to make the file executable form anywhere [04:42] oly562: heheh. Jerk. :) [04:42] i have t working for one file but now i cant make it work for this one [04:42] So why do I have to enter the root pw to login as hilton? [04:42] no malice i assure you, just tired, been working on vming all day and yesterday and..... blah blah [04:42] hilton: how are you telling it to run? [04:42] hilton: wait, what? [04:43] confused ... hilton [04:43] hilton: to login as hilton, you have to use root's pw instead of yours? [04:43] I login as me [04:43] hilton: using your own pw? [04:43] During the login, before the desktop appears, I get told bootscript.sh need admins privs [04:43] just log in hilton, stop messing around [04:43] Yes [04:43] is there a way where i can add a frequency [04:43] hilton: what is bootscript? [04:43] How the hell should I know? [04:44] Ubuntu installed it. [04:44] hilton: it's not some script you just added yourself? oh [04:44] he is loggin in via a 3com pxeboot lol [04:44] im running 800 1600 and 1800 mgz was wondering if i can add a frequency some how? [04:44] who knows [04:45] pan_: cmos? [04:45] hilton re-install to get a nice complete one [04:45] Hi everyone -- I've been searching the documentation, and can't seem to find the correct location: Does anyone know how to edit the default ubuntu CFLAGS? I want to remove D_FORTIFY_SOURCE [04:45] n8tuser1: complete what? [04:45] bbiab... busy [04:45] i have an AMD64 laptop [04:46] i have t working for one file but now i cant make it work for this one [04:46] so should i add something here: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/podgrabber.py , i want to make the file executable form anywhere [04:46] sleven: yeah, thatd make it executable [04:47] hmm. [04:47] I extracted a toolchain and when i try to run one of the bins it says file not found, like it doesn't exist ... [04:47] maco: but when i run it it complains : import: command not found and so on for every row [04:48] zezu-> use the full path? [04:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/63118/ [04:48] maco ^ [04:48] n8tuser1, doesn't help ! [04:48] How can I view running processes? [04:48] top [04:48] sleven: import? [04:49] zezu-> give an example, where you have the toolchain installed, and the command you used [04:49] sleven: that's because your script is just plain broken [04:49] maco: import re [04:49] sleven: or.....hrm it starts with #! /usr/bin/python, doesn't it? [04:49] sleven: it looks like it's trying to run it in the shell instead of as python [04:49] maco: lol ofc, after i change it ;) [04:50] n8tuser1, http://rafb.net/p/dXke8E52.html [04:50] So... anyone know where the default CFLAGS are? I'd hate to have to do a text search of every file on my drive... :) [04:50] sleven: so the first line has the #! stuff? [04:50] yes i changed that now and it works, thanks :) [04:51] zezu-> use the full path? [04:51] im interested in hiltons question, how do i view all running processes? [04:51] and their pids [04:51] sleven-> ps -aux [04:51] sleven: ps -e [04:52] or top [04:52] n8tuser1, doesn't help at all : bash: /home/zezu/bleed/tools/arm-2008q3/bin/arm-none-eabi-addr2line: No such file or directory [04:52] strange eh ? [04:52] zezu-> do another ls -la and repaste the results of this [04:52] zezu: is this beagle related? :) [04:52] is: kill PID dangerous? can it cause trouble closing a process like that? [04:52] i'm thinking its a hard link or smth, b/c there is another dir that has the same tools w/o the prefix [04:53] hex4def6-> you've got a beagle? [04:53] hex4def6, yes [04:53] I though't I'd seen you in #beagle [04:53] trying to build my own setup for it.. playing around some [04:53] sleven: no, that just sends sigterm, so it's telling the app to close itself nicely [04:53] yeah -- having trouble building stuff at the moment in OE (again0 [04:53] hey, is there a way to see the progress of cp on the command line? I'm trying to backup files using the LiveCD, and it's painfully slow. I'd like to see how long it's going to take [04:53] how can I do the same action as middle-click paste with a keyboard? [04:54] zezu: are you using the codesourcery toolchain/ [04:54] n8tuser1, -rwxr-xr-x 1 zezu zezu 480520 2008-10-01 11:30 arm-none-eabi-addr2line [04:54] HorizonXP, try cp -v [04:54] HorizonXP-> dont know, but man cp and see if there is a -v for verbose [04:54] although that might not print status till after the copy [04:54] not sure [04:54] hex4def6, yes, i built one but im not ready to try it :) [04:54] Okay... one last annoying question. I started an upgrade window, which said it encountered an error and halted, so I closed the window. Now I want to start downloading updates, but it says another package manager is in use (probably from the cancelld window). [04:54] Is this a running process that I can find and kill, or was a change made to a file somewhere to say it's in use ..? [04:55] hilton: in a terminal, try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [04:55] Greetings all - I have both ubuntu and kubuntu-desktop installed on my system, if I do the upgrade will that update both? [04:55] kkathman: yes [04:55] everyone has read/exec idk wtf the problem is [04:55] maco reliably? [04:55] hello, anybody can help me to understand my fault with PPA packaging? [04:55] maco: ok sometimes on windows when i runa program of mine it eats up all the memory and it even freezes the task manager so i cant close it. i have heard that linux-systems by default kill such processes as soon as they eat up to much resources, true? such things never happens on linux then? [04:55] kg: status database area is locked by another process [04:55] err, dpkg: [04:56] thanks fro the suggestion, going to try it :) [04:56] kkathman: yes [04:56] maco ok - thanks...I've just had some probs in the past with dual upgrades [04:56] kkathman: well, if you use one of the supported methods. and you dont hit a bug i dont know about. but yes, itll update everything that's instaled [04:56] kkathman: will apt-get update update all files? i don't see why not... [04:56] is it safe to reset mysql root password on a running live server host? [04:56] yeah, it's at least showing me what files it's copying currently. good enough, thanks! [04:56] kkathman: if you do dist-upgrade instead of using "do-release-upgrade" or update-manager, it should be fine [04:57] macd, what is the "supported" method then?? [04:57] kkathman: backwards [04:57] do anybody knows why PPA buildd doesnt install buid-depends for my package? [04:57] http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18935765/buildlog_ubuntu-intrepid-i386.ignuit_0.0.10-ppa6_MANUALDEPWAIT.txt.gz [04:57] kkathman: *don't* do apt-get dist-upgrade [04:57] maco ahh ok [04:57] kkathman: either use update-manager or run "do-release-upgrade" [04:57] zezu-> dont know, try another xterm and relaunch it [04:57] maco: dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [04:57] someone that haves experience doing packages and so? [04:57] maco I did the dist-uprade before - changed the sources.list and did that [04:57] kkathman: yeah, that hasnt been recommended in a few years [04:57] maco: ok sometimes on windows when i runa program of mine it eats up all the memory and it even freezes the task manager so i cant close it. i have heard that linux-systems by default kill such processes as soon as they eat up to much resources, true? such things never happens on linux then? [04:58] n8tuser1, still does it ! [04:58] i have an application, i have compiled it but it doesnt have INSTALL feature, it ask me to move and copy files and stuff [04:58] sleven: i have no idea [04:58] i want to add install feature into itr [04:58] it* [04:58] hilton, you should close another package managers before [04:58] ok so if i do a sudo apt-get update --do-release-upgrade on 6.6 it will upgrade to 6.10? lol [04:58] antono, none are open. [04:58] hilton: bleh, ok try this: ps -ef | grep apt [04:58] or jump to 8.x [04:58] oly562: 8.04. 6.10 is dead. [04:58] hilton, do you have htop installed? [04:58] i wonder if i can do a 2 version jump ;) with apt-get, that would be impressive [04:59] yes maco you said that earlier ;) [04:59] oly562: stop saying 8.x All ubuntu releases have 2 digits after the . [04:59] hej hey, is there anyone PPA owner? [04:59] maco so you do the do-release-upgrade from the Alt-F2 ? [04:59] why? [04:59] antono: Seems so. [04:59] oly562: and skipping releases (other than LTS->LTS) is not supported [05:00] kkathman: do-release-upgrade is a terminal thing, so i think you'd want a terminal in case it wants to throw an error [05:00] hilton, try to find in htop and kill'em all one of (update-manager, synaptic, packagekitd, aptitude, dpkg) :) [05:00] ahh ok...is that a sudo command then ? [05:00] oly562: because if you sa 6.x it could mean either 6.06 or 6.10 which were *very* different. those aren't "point releases" they are *full* releases [05:00] antono: I started an "upgrade" script which then had an error and shutdown...now I'm trying to update and I'm being told another manager is in use. [05:00] zezu-> thats a script right? check with file arm-xxxxx [05:00] maco: What am I looking for with that ps command? [05:01] its linux to me, and most linux distros if not all, use a number then a dot then a number or two,,, but i see your point... but relating to my question, its a complete 2 version jump regardless [05:01] hilton: seeing if there are any apt or synaptic processes running [05:01] hilton, seems it leaves .lock file somwhere in /var/run ... [05:01] back to my question... would it allow from 6.whatever to 8.whatever.. yes or no [05:01] oly562: i said "other than LTS->LTS" both 6.06 and 8.04 were LTS releases, and that is *not* a 2 release jump. that's a 4 release jump [05:01] hilton, or follow maco's way.. .try to find other packagemanager [05:01] sorry i dont know what LTS means === FrozenFire__ is now known as FrozenFire [05:02] yah got it... 4. so would it, yes or no [05:02] oly562 long term support [05:02] its a 32b elf [05:02] oly562: Long Term Support...i mentioned it earlier. 3 years desktop, 5 years server [05:02] oly562, Lts = long term support [05:02] thanks Dulak [05:02] i guess that is the problem [05:02] zezu-> you're trying to run it on a 64bit? [05:02] oly562: do you know how ubuntu's numbers work? [05:02] n8tuser1, yes [05:02] not really interested [05:02] hej, do anyone have personal package archive? [05:03] zezu-> that will not work then, lest you have the correct libraries [05:03] oly562: 8 is for 2008. 04 is for April [05:03] n8tuser1, i didn't e ven think about that really [05:03] i can't get my package builded [05:03] ic [05:03] naming conventions... yawn [05:03] oly562: the one coming out in a few days is 8.10 the 2008 October release [05:03] zezu now you have..:P [05:03] ic [05:03] indeed [05:03] oly562: oh thats not the naming conventions...thats just versioning. for names we use alliterative adjective+animal combinations. from Dapper Drake onward, they are alphabetica [05:03] When trying to install openoffice.org3.0-debian-menus_3.0-9354_all.deb it says it conflicts with openoffice.org-core. This is a problem. If i try to uninstall openoffice.org-core it'll uninstall ubuntu-desktop won't it? [05:03] *alphabetical [05:04] yes there is an apt-get running [05:04] so.... would it jump from 6 to 8? yes or no, and if yes, do i have to add a -switch to apt-get? [05:04] I can't get htop to kill it ... how else? [05:04] how can i set it up in ubuntu to be able to run 32b apps as well ? [05:04] hilton: youd need to be root to kill it [05:04] Flynsarmy: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package, you can install it without hurting anything [05:04] from ps -ef: root 6413 6370 0 21:45 ? 00:00:01 apt-get upgrade -y --allow-unauthenticated [05:04] Flynsarmy: uninstall it I meant [05:04] is one of those numbers a pid? [05:04] << drapper [05:04] lol [05:04] hilton: 6413 is the pid [05:04] whats in a name someone once said [05:04] hex4def6-> is the beagle worth the 150 bux? am contemplating getting one.. [05:04] hilton: first number [05:04] oly562: dapper...as in well-dressed [05:05] is their some license you can take, like "Linux system architect"? [05:05] i tried debian back in 1999 [05:05] im waiting for masturbating monkeys to come out:P [05:05] i stuck with redhat since [05:05] dont ask why [05:05] sleven: LPIC-1? [05:05] fedora vs ubuntu, pros cons ? [05:05] oh and freebsd of course [05:05] redhat was my first attempt at running linux [05:05] i like freebsd [05:05] ahh [05:05] thank you [05:05] i never used fedora more than a week [05:05] sleven: Linux Professionals Institute Certification [05:05] lol [05:05] um....guys.....keep the channel family friendly please ;) [05:05] sleven: reverse dependencies and a much faster release cycle [05:05] and stay on topic ;) [05:05] i miss the beer swilling tux though [05:06] sleven: -1 is "junior sysadmin", -2 is "intermediate"...you can get ubuntu certified after you pass -1 [05:06] i dont get this whole mandella theme [05:06] random chatter needs to move to #ubuntu-offtopic [05:06] Robb_M: its a quote from linus, the creator of linux [05:06] lol [05:06] Is it safe to install any update the Ubuntu Update Manager throws at me? [05:06] whats all this certification stuff... lol [05:06] what's the quickest way to generate an md5 of a word? [05:06] Vantrax: its OT...as its not related to anything "support"....... [05:06] Even the "NOT AUTHENTICATED" items? [05:06] something to put on your wall [05:06] for a word* [05:06] hilton: yeah, pretty much [05:06] hilton: uh, what's not authenticated? [05:07] hmm...quite a bit [05:07] how can i reinstall ubuntu on a computer that has ubuntu already? i cant find this anywhere [05:07] hilton: thatll show up if you're installing something from a third-party repo instead of just from the official repos. if thats the case, install it if you trust the source [05:07] so... im sorry maybe i missed it, can i use apt-get to upgrade to 8? [05:07] from 6? [05:07] hilton: could also be that its happening because you're using an unsupported version of ubuntu...the keys might be gone [05:07] yes or no, and what switch do i need [05:07] Demi-> its possible, you want to install on another partition? [05:07] oly562: not directly no, you'd have to upgrade through the intervening releases [05:07] oly562: lemme find the wiki page [05:07] oly562: you're better off doing a clean install [05:08] assorted stuff for libpam, libfreetype, libcairo, libsqlite, openssh, and a bunch of other stuff [05:08] Dulak: not true [05:08] how can i do a clean install on a computer that has ubuntu? [05:08] Dulak: you can upgrade from dapper to hardy just fine [05:08] intervening? you mean do one, then upgrade to another? why... yah exactly [05:08] just wondered, thanks [05:08] Dulak: they're both LTS [05:08] oly562: he's wrong [05:08] so, anyone [05:08] ? [05:08] hilton i have advised you earlier do a fresh re-install...saves you tons of time.. [05:08] Demi-> its possible, you want to install on another partition? [05:08] maco: i see, but its more of an admin exam it seems. im thinking kernel developer, is there something for that? [05:08] n8t: What is this, Windows? [05:08] setting up mpd and for lastfm, wants an md5 of the password [05:08] maco: i missed they are both LTS [05:08] hilton: and if you do a fresh install, do it of a recent version so things actually work [05:08] maco > the LTS upgrade can be problematic === FreeDreamer_ is now known as FreeDreamer [05:09] no, i just want to reinstall because the current install hangs [05:09] Is there any way to block an apt-get depenancy, specifically I want to install links2 on a console only system, but links2 has a dependency to an X11 library which depends on X, so installing links2 installs a full X-windows system, any way around this? [05:09] wbmj: ive never let myself get out of date enough to find out...but did you try at first release or after things settled? [05:09] Im 18 and Im more of a selflearner than "go-to-uni" so i was just wondering if this could be something for me [05:09] hilton-> you want to be a smart alec? go ahead attempt to recover what you got.. [05:09] When I downloaded this last week I was under the impression this WAS the latest, since 7.10 was not marked as a stable release or whatever they call it. [05:09] maco, hilton: what is this ubuntu ultimate 1.4 dvd anyway? [05:09] its been awhile since i've used anything linux, i cant remember anything [05:09] dgandhi: you can get the deb then in dpkg there's a flag to force it and ignore the dependencies [05:09] Linux version 2.6.15-51-server (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) [05:09] #1 SMP Thu Dec 6 21:37:18 UTC 2007 [05:09] thats what i have [05:09] spuopolo: someone's random remix [05:09] i didnt do the -52 upgrade,, broke my vm [05:10] !who [05:10] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:10] maco: so I have to go manually download packages and then use dpkg? [05:10] i think i will just load up 8.whatever and go from there [05:10] spuopolo: http://ubuntusoftware.info/ultimate/index.html [05:10] dgandhi: yeah [05:10] dont want to burn or use one of my precious cd's lol [05:10] is there a command i can use to reinstall ubuntu? [05:10] prolly set up a net bood [05:10] boot [05:10] hilton: in the future, stick with downloads directly from ubuntu if you can...installs will go cleanly and you can add software you like later [05:10] Demi-> you have the liveCD ? [05:10] yes [05:10] !who | Demi [05:10] Demi: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:10] spuopolo: So what is the 'safe' website?

[05:11] Demi insert your liveCD into your drive and reboot, then just follow the install procedure [05:11] i want to marry a linux techy chick... get real [05:11] lolol [05:11] im having problems launching Regnum... anyone play it that could help? [05:11] oly562: on behalf of the other women in this channel, i am asking you to refrain from asking that again [05:11] uh.. seems more difficult than just getting 32b libs ;| [05:11] are you a woman maco? [05:12] hmm. Thanks for all your help everyone. [05:12] Good night. [05:12] hilton: besides, starting with 7.04 you will have to update to 7.10, 8.04 and 8.10 in a few days... [05:12] zezu-> you can install the 32bit version of ubuntu on your 64bit machine [05:12] spuo: Seems I was on an outdated web site which looked like the proper one at the time. My bad. [05:12] I'll take care of this now. [05:12] Good night. [05:13] Good night all [05:13] n8tuser1, sure but if it requires reinstalling that pretty much sucks [05:13] can anyone help me with Regnum Online launch errors? [05:13] hey guys, can you suggest some good player for my songs? [gnome, am having problems with amarok] [05:13] oly562: my gender has no bearing on my ability to answer linux questions, now does it? [05:13] zezu not so bad, 45 mins perhaps [05:13] if someone is sending me a file via sftp, is there a way for me to view the current status and transfer rate? [05:13] not my point [05:13] and where did you get all that from? [05:14] n8tuser1, if getlibs trashes my system then i guess i'll have to !

[05:32] when i'm formatting the partition that ubuntu is being installed on what shoudl the mount point be? [05:32] Demi, / [05:32] csilk thanks [05:32] Demi: / (also known as root partition) [05:32] outbackwifi: in trying to get ANY linux including ubuntu/kubuntu or anything on it [05:32] Demi i suggest 3 partitions, / /home and /swap [05:32] Pulpie: and when you tried to install ubuntu 8.04 using a CDROM you got these lines? [05:32] minimum [05:32] n8tuser1: just "swap" it doesn't actually live inside the filesystem. [05:33] right..my fat fingers..hehe [05:33] n8tuser1 how big should each be minimum? [05:33] outbackwifi: yes [05:33] ooh looks like i might be getting a reinstall for sure [05:33] is there a wine channel ? [05:33] Pulpie: at what stage did you get those lines? [05:33] xcerca: #winehq [05:33] thx [05:33] think i just replaced libstdc++ with a 32b version [05:34] Demi-> / id put to aroung 5-8 gigs, swap at least 2x ram size, the rest /home or if you can spare another partition for future use [05:34] Demi: how big is your hard drive? [05:35] dulak its 30gb [05:35] outbackwifi: when it was booting up about 1/6 of the load bar [05:35] hi, if i install 8.10 while its still in beta, will it upgrade itself to stable in a few days? [05:35] itai_michaelson: yes [05:35] Demi: how much ram you have? [05:36] Pulpie: and the whole process just ends there? or does it boot up completely after some time [05:36] dulak like 348 or something [05:36] i just reserved 1.5gb for swap [05:36] Demi: I'd do like 1 gig swap, 12 gig /, rest on /home [05:36] outbackwifi: it boots up into what I can tell somewhat is the login screen of gnome [05:36] Demi: 1.5g is good for swap, probably overkill but it can't hurt [05:37] outbackwifi: but its basically missing HUGE gaps [05:37] hy how are you === a is now known as Chad [05:37] Flannel, thanks [05:37] dulak this computer's files will mainly be stored on an external to host my videos on the network [05:37] Pulpie: if you hit ctl+alt+- at this time do you get a lower resolution screen? [05:37] dulak can i just make it all / and 1.5gb for swap? === Chad is now known as ChadAyers [05:37] ok i wiil try to find [05:37] Dulak will that run fine? [05:38] Demi: yup, that'll run great [05:38] Dulak thanks [05:38] Demi: splitting /home off makes upgrades and fresh installs easier is all === mergul is now known as Mergul [05:39] i happen to want to make a install file of some package that just get compiled by writing make on it [05:39] like makeinstall or smth [05:39] If i upgrade ubuntu , will vmware still be able to read its virtual OSs? [05:39] outbackwifi: let me check [05:40] !checkinstall | ArkoldThos [05:40] ArkoldThos: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

[05:41] right now it keeps trying dh1 and failing [05:41] trumpetmic: in your BIOS [05:41] trumpetmic, /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:41] so i edit and boot from hd0 [05:41] cabrioleur, i'm upgrading from gutsy to ibex , will the different version of vmware make any difference? [05:41] Anyone have a moment to help out a new Ubuntu guy with connecting to network shares? [05:41] itai_michaelson, no, images are compatible. [05:42] itai_michaelson: You need to upgrade to 7.10 to 8.04, and then from 8.04 to 8.10 [05:42] hello all! [05:42] Flannel, i will fresh install [05:42] !hello | ChadAyers [05:42] ChadAyers: Hi!

Stop.

[05:44] trumpetmic, you need to use sudo ,probably [05:44] trumpetmic, open it by doing alt f2 and gksudo [05:44] sudo nautilus [05:45] trumpetmic: alt-f2 then gksu gedit /path/to/file [05:45] outbackwifi: http://imagebin.ca/view/F4WvZD.html [05:45] itai_michaelson: Always juse gksu (or gksudo) with graphical apps [05:45] Flannel: 6.04 is LTS not 7.04... duh.

[05:51] true [05:51] SantaCruz, you can use the alternate version [05:51] anyone have any tips on improving video play back on ubuntu 8.1? when i do full screen DVD or flash it looks kinda choppy. I've activated the current 177 driver for my nvidia card and played with the quality settings but still looks horrible. [05:51] outbackwifi: its not on the laptop list. [05:51] just worth noting not to resize ntfs [05:52] outbackwifi: but it seems like it should work with just a few adjustments [05:52] !hcl [05:52] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [05:52] Vantrax, even on windows i dont use ntfs [05:52] ChadAyers: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks.

[05:53] outbackwifi: acpi? [05:53] SantaCruz, it depends on what you want to run [05:53] SantaCruz, it really depends....

[06:06] sarthor: if they are LAN (as in ethernet) users do you need a pppoe server? [06:06] RefrusJim: hold. [06:06] r00tintheb0x, Yes. i want that. [06:07] r00tintheb0x, mikrotik is the solution for that, but i dont want to use other pc. [06:07] sarthor: what is the purpose? is the ppoe server a gateway to the internet? [06:07] help, ive got apache running and when i try to view a .php file, firefox asks me to download instead of displaying it [06:07] sarthor: you're trying to make a PPPoE server?!

[06:08] !php [06:08] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[06:09] Flannel_: whats so different [06:09] r00tintheb0x, outbackwifi i want my lan users must dial pppoe-server, and after that, they will be able to access the internet. otherwise not. same like dsl connection [06:09] admin__: One uses KDE, one uses Gnome. Different people prefer each. [06:09] sarthor: why do you not just use a router? [06:10] what is better for a buisness [06:10] r00tintheb0x: pre-existing windows shares that are accessable to everyone on other windows computers. no password protection on the shares [06:10] sarthor: go there --> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/pppoe-linux-server-configuration-howto.html [06:10] routern, will not do a caching like linux [06:10] "In earlier times" (TM) there was a project /Documentation/Configure.help, which apparently explained the meaning of the switches in the config file (/boot/config-2.6.24-21-generic). What file explains today the meaning of the switches CONFIG_VT=y, CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y und CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING=y? [06:10] RefrusJim: You're losing me. [06:10] RefrusJim: How many windows machines do you have? [06:11] outbackwifi, i read that guide, but thats not suffecient for me. [06:11] very short that is. i need a bit detailed. [06:11] outbackwifi: do you have sarthor? [06:11] multiple windows machines on a small network [06:11] r00tintheb0x: i think i do [06:11] how can i get sercurity for kubuntu [06:11] Okay [06:11] Im confused as to what he's doing. [06:12] sarthor: did you follow the link at the end of that howto? [06:12] RefrusJim: How many? [06:12] Three, four five?! [06:12] outbackwifi, Yes. i already opend and read that, [06:12] admin__: You better ask this question in the #kubuntu channel. [06:12] r00tintheb0x: bit contrived but let him do what he feels is right :) [06:12] admin__: gnome or kde is a matter of personal preference. gnome apps can run fine on kde and vice versa. some like gnome for a reason, some like kde for another reason. i like gnome but i think that some kde apps like k3b are light years ahead of their gnome "cousins" [06:12] 'heheh @ outbackwifi [06:12] atleast 3, sometimes as many as 5 windows computers. I only need to access one of the shares. [06:13] RefrusJim: For instance... you have three windows machines and one Ubuntu file server that the three windows machines need to access shares on? [06:13] im haaving similair issues as you RefrusJim [06:13] example: in windows I'd use //gunz/_dvds - gunz = computer _dvds=share [06:13] how do you make text RED [06:13] ctrl+alt+backspace [06:13] no, i would like to access the windows share FROM my ubuntu [06:13] sarthor: that page is specific to gentoo; you just need to adapt it to ubuntu [06:14] RefrusJim: do you have all your machines plugged into a router? [06:14] OH okay [06:14] I see. [06:14] All plugged into a switch. [06:14] Does Ubuntu save the dmesg somewhere when a kernel panic happens? [06:14] outbackwifi, thats the probolem for me. i am not so good in Linux [06:14] i also found some other tutorial but that was for suse. [06:14] sarthor: did you also go through this (foor ubuntu) --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=291926 [06:14] okay RefrusJim [06:15] joeyadams: i think its in /var/log/dmesg [06:15] RefrusJim: when you go to "places>network" on ubuntu... and a window pops up... Do you see "Windows Network" in the list? [06:15] outbackwifi, No, [06:16] Yes, Windows Network shows up [06:16] outbackwifi, i am on hardy, will it help me?? [06:16] it should (pppoe is not distro specific) [06:16] RefrusJim: when you double click that, what do you see? [06:16] outbackwifi, ok. let me try, i will be back if i face problem again. [06:16] timer, then shows "Workgroup" [06:16] sarthor: sure === hibana_ is now known as hibana [06:17] thank you outbackwifi and all [06:17] RefrusJim: what is the name of the workgroup on the windows machine you're trying to access? [06:17] WORKGROUP I take it? [06:17] is there a azureus 4.0 repo or a .deb file yet ? [06:17] "Workgroup" is the workgroup that all of the machines live on [06:17] jim_p> Thanks [06:18] outbackwifi: hey [06:18] Okay RefrusJim... are you at all fimiliar with the Linux command line? [06:18] familiar* [06:18] outbackwifi: what do i format as? i dont see an ext3 format [06:18] honestly, i have to say no, but i have played a little bit [06:18] joeyadams: I don't think so. Rather, Linux dumps an image of kernel memory to disk for post-mortem debugging. [06:19] is there a recent issue with 8.04 and fglrx? [06:19] RefrusJim: Go to "Applications>Accessories>Terminal" [06:20] with 8.10 around the corner is there any disadvantage to updating via the alternate iso rather then updating online? [06:20] r00tintheb0x: got it [06:20] jjgalvez: n [06:20] no [06:20] akio: You can obtain a more thorough answer by asking this question to Launchpad [06:20] Is there some nice little widget that'll show me my netgraph? (System -> Performance meter takes 20% cpu) [06:21] thanks [06:21] RefrusJim: type "sudo smbclient -L ip.of.windows.machine [06:21] lyy: if you want to use it in ubuntu only, ext3 would be good else, fat32 [06:21] For instance, smbclient -L 192.168.1.100 [06:21] We may have to specify A user. [06:22] r00tintheb0x: done, shows my shares. [06:22] Alright. [06:22] is there a gentoo linux channal [06:22] Paste me that information in the URL im about to send you. NOT here. [06:23] outbackwifi, the howto about pppoe-server shows the configuration of /etc/ppp/pppoe-server-option, while the file is not exist in my computer, i installed all the stuff the howto saying in the start [06:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [06:23] sarthor: then create that file [06:23] jjgalvez: Please ask this question in the #ubuntu+1 channel. [06:23] outbackwifi, Ok. [06:23] r00tintheb0x: done [06:24] Okay [06:24] bullgard4: ok, i didn't even see that untill you said something [06:24] Give me the url to access it RefrusJim [06:24] * outbackwifi feels that sarthor would be better off creating a captive gateway on a ubuntu box [06:24] Mike is like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/63133/ [06:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/63132/ [06:24] what] [06:25] RefrusJim: what share there are you trying to access?

[06:32] Well, I decided to handroll a new bunty. That included all the libraries, especially libc [06:32] Hi, i'm wondering where I can find some help/info. For whatever reason, Ubuntu turns to a black screen after it had loaded from the disc. So it boots, but then the screen goes black. I can Ctrl-Alt F2 to get to the console however. [06:32] Hello everyone...kinda simple...trying to set up ssh on my desktop so I can save useing (and finding ) a jump drive to move files between computer, however I'm stumped on how to download a file from the sever to the local computer... [06:32] So, I rewrote libc, but now am getting some strange behaviour. [06:33] I installed an IDE hard drive to my machine that already had windows on a sata drive. After doing so, booting of windows slowed to a crawl. I am not using a boot loader, just setting the bios to boot the ubuntu drive. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? [06:33] Whilst doing some low-level kernel hacking (device driver for my Toyota Corolla) I found bunty had broke. [06:33] I would now like to fix it. Could you help? [06:33] Rolaulten: scp local-file user@server:/path/to/remote/file [06:33] Rolaulten: you probably want scp or sftp, both of which are included with ssh. Try googling for tutorials on them. [06:33] how rude. [06:33] EF_Codd_: please don't waste our time. [06:34] cool, thanks [06:34] Flannel it was a serious question. [06:34] Is it more debian related?

[06:40] outbackwifi: that's correct [06:40] my girlfriend for some reason decided to run a few commands in recovery mode and now she has no internet so shes stuck using a live cd. looking through her bash history, i noticed she typed this "sudo pppoeconf" is there anyway to fix this and any other suggestions besides a complete reinstall? [06:40] Spelling errors are invisible till after you hit "Send". [06:41] <[yan]> i can't seem to get emails out, can someone please help me with what is needed (i.e. domain name etc) [06:41] paul68: for starters, i dont think you need to put in your server's interfaces in that file; secondly , the server seems to have 2 interfaces; one 22 and the other 23; wonder what you are using those for [06:41] [yan] -> use your isps smtp servers [06:41] msg [06:41] admin_ help [06:41] <[yan]> bigboy, i tried, i get the same error [06:41] ping [06:41] amdin [06:42] amd [06:42] [yan] -> if i get get my problem solved with my girlfriend having no help, i promise to try my best to help u [06:42] !intrepid | admin__ [06:42] admin__: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - WARNING: lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, NOT #ubuntu [06:42] <[yan]> :p [06:42] bigboy776: how does she connect to the internet? [06:42] outbackwifi: well wasn't certain that I needed to put both interfaces in the reason it has 2 interfaces is that I'm going to connect the ISP modem directly to my server and then from my server to my network [06:42] Hello Room [06:42] #ubuntu-es #ubuntu-ar [06:43] <[yan]> here's my mail.log -> http://pastebin.com/m6dc9e886 [06:43] outbackwifi -> directly through an ethernet modem. works automatically from a live cd or fresh install, no passwords or any proprietary software needed [06:43] outbackwifi: still building up the config files as I want to add a firewall to it aswell and make a router/firewall and server combination [06:43] Hey, is there anyway to boot Ubuntu (8.x) so that the resolution is 800x600 at 60hz? I only have a really crap monitor. I think I am having trouble actually seeing Ubuntu (after it has booted) because of the res). [06:43] paul68: if thats the case then you probably want it to function as a gateway; in that case only that part of your server that is connected to the LAN should give out DHCP addresses [06:44] Does anybody know if nautilus 2.24 fixes some of the issues I was reading about like how the trash can disappears after install a certain program or how you can view networks in nautilus === flemita is now known as chainoovegan [06:44] paul68: and further, the interface that is connected to the isp modem will probably get its own ip address from that device [06:44] Hi, I have a problem. I broke bunty by accidently using the command line. I know I should have stuck to using Gnome GUI tools, but I was feeling all giddy. I just wanted to know if there was any way I could obtain a linux distro that wasn't aimed at the lowest common denominator, so I could actually use *nix as it was intended. I shall wait patiently for an answer. === chainoovegan is now known as flemota [06:44] outbackwifi: understood what and where do I need to modify these files? [06:45] paul68: you should also ensure that the wireless router is connected to the LAN side of your router [06:45] chainoo@vgn64:~$ &# [06:45] bash: error de sintaxis cerca de token no esperado `&' [06:45] paul68: you dont need to run your own dns server if you are not going to host any named services [06:45] what mean that? [06:45] zzhezza Slackware linux [06:45] outbackwifi: the current linksys is going to act as an ap for the wireless devices in combination with the airportexpress [06:46] how do u get red text on irc [06:46] how can i fire up the wireless from command line? the hotspot is on dhcp and it can send me an ip [06:46] outbackwifi -> any ideas how to fix this? [06:46] outbackwifi: correct however I'm trying to figure out how to do it and try to make this work for a good excersise kind a thing [06:47] flemota: this means wrong command syntax. and it is wrong. in fact its nonsence! [06:47] es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash [06:47] hey all [06:47] bigboy776: looks like a trivial issue; just enable dhcp on the network manager (roaming mode) for that interface and it should work [06:48] flemota: where exactly on the page is that? [06:48] paul68: you need these components a) dhcp server b) dns server c) firewall script [06:48] !hi | chilli0 [06:48] chilli0: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [06:48] does anyone have a program like gkrellm that looks good or a good skin for it [06:49] paul68: you can use dnsmasq for a) & b) only forwarder else bind for b) [06:49] outbackwifi: I already have a dhcp and dns server running with the following config isp modem linksys router server I want to change this into isp modem server linksys [06:49] paul68: there are a lot of how-tos on this; look at howtoforge for a tutorial; if you're stuck dont hesitate to ask [06:50] outbackwifi -> if you could just wait a second, im bringing her in here to help explain the situation [06:50] outbackwifi: I run dhcp and bind firewall script didn't touch that yet [06:50] bigboy776: ok [06:50] outbackwifi: ok thanks for your help [06:50] hey all, anyone have any luck getting anything past 6.06 on a G4/450? [06:50] does anyone have a program like gkrellm that looks good or a good skin for it [06:51] flemota: btw i think that guide is about bash *scripting* , not the use of command line === Cow_CaKep_MuPenG is now known as PANGERAN_KESOREA [06:51] paul68: i did exactly what you're looking to do a few days ago. I used this link to set up my server: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts [06:52] outbackwifi -> linux_user400354 is here, PLEASE HELP [06:52] chilli0: i have conky, no skin at all [06:52] whats conky? [06:52] bigboy776: chill; [06:52] HorizonXP: howtoforge generally does a horrible job with Ubuntu set ups [06:52] how do i get red text to the user i talk to [06:52] how do i play an mp3-file? [06:52] Flannel: i thought it was ok [06:52] *shrug* [06:52] fstarting it from the command line [06:53] linux_user400354: left click on network manager icon; select manual configuration [06:53] jim_p: whats conky?

You can usually use tab completion [06:53] chilli0: it's a system monitor. i've heard good things about it [06:53] k [06:53] i shall get it now [06:53] outbackwifi -> shes using the live cd right now. if she boots back from her hard drive, theres no net or way to communicate :( [06:53] paul68: then I used this link to set up the server as a router http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html [06:54] I guess a better question would be is there a mac/ubuntu channel here @ freenode? [06:54] linux_user400354: click on unlock [06:54] outbackwifi -> i can mount her hard drive partitions and have taken looks there [06:54] chilli0: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865 to give you some ideas [06:54] <[yan]> i can't seem to get emails out, can someone please help me with what is needed (i.e. domain name etc) my mail.log is showing bounces http://pastebin.com/m6dc9e886 [06:54] bigboy776: she can communicate thro you [06:54] paul68: now, I have 3 network cards in my server, i'm only using 2. one connects to my broadband modem, the other connects to my linksys router [06:54] k thanx [06:55] flannel is it working [06:55] admin__: yes [06:55] HorizonXP: ok thanks [06:55] admin__: yes [06:55] flannel cool [06:55] paul68: then for the linksys router, make sure you plug the server into one of its LAN ports, NOT the WAN port [06:56] [06:56] [yan]: is it only happening with @gmail.com email, or with other providers too? [06:56] HorizonXP: ok will do [06:56] but change the router's settings so that the DHCP server is turned off, and if you go into advanced configuration, you should see an option that you can change from Gateway mode to Router. Do that. Oh and make sure to change the router's IP addy to one that falls within your DHCP server's range. and you're done. [06:57] <[yan]> rww, im not sure asi dont really know how to send a test mail :p [06:57] HorizonXP: so it's going to act as a switch, is it then also possible to add a second ap to the linksys? [06:57] how can i fire up the wireless from command line? the hotspot is on dhcp and it can send me an ip [06:57] no wep or stuff [06:57] yes it is [06:57] bigboy776: dont do that; this way its easier; ask her to boot normally; i will relay the instructions thro you and with luck she should be up and running [06:57] paul68: yes it is possible [06:57] jim_p: iwconfig [06:58] just out of curiosity, my linux server is sitting at a remote location. i use putty to remotely administer the server from a shell line. however, i have to manually startx to get gui up and running, then i can vnc to the gui remotely.. is there a way to startx from the shell via putty? [06:58] outbackwifi -> i jacked my brothers phone to do the communication, thanks for your help [06:58] riz0n: yes there is an option to execute a remote command [06:58] outbackwifi: i think that it will just show me the wireless activity thats on [06:58] [yan]: ah. i'm not too good with mail, but i was wondering, because all of the examples in your log were gmail, and gmail filters out stuff it thinks is spam (which might include mail from residential IP addresses, if you're in that situation) [06:59] hi [06:59] HorizonXP: can I msg you? [06:59] <[yan]> rww, yeh the reason its all gmail is that the onyl thing its tryign to email is mdadm raid alerts to my gmail address [06:59] paul68: yea sure [06:59] jim_p: no, it will also let you configure; read the man page for iwconfig; you can set things like ssid; channel etc; then use dhcpif iface-name to get an ip address [06:59] right now the gui (X server) is telling me i need to restart, but i know when i reboot i will not be able to startx till i physically access the server [06:59] hello. has anybody noticed that intrepid doesn't go as far as 1024x768 in fact i cannot get any better than 800x600.

LPI1 and LP2, then the UCP certs [07:01] [yan]: ah, ignore me, then. was just a random thought ;-) [07:01] riz0n: you can't just issue startx from the command line? [07:01] sleven: do you have mplayer installed? then its mplayer /path/to/file.mp3 [07:01] how much does it cost [07:01] riz0n: a better way is to run a vnc server on the server and then use ssh forwarding [07:01] to prove my linux worth [07:02] prometrics? [07:02] oly562: oh i thought you wanted to get Debian certified :) [07:02] sayedmohu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [07:02] yes debian [07:02] oly562: please be serious, or begone.

[07:16] freetown: this is specifically for the eeepc, not generic [07:16] <[yan]> all i know is that i have sendmail and postfix installed. mdadm is by default on postfix (or so i read). and that i don't think i have my hostname and domain set [07:17] whats wrong with this URL? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-533793.html it was posted es a fix on a launchpad thread... [07:17] outbackwifi, okay eee pc...need array.org kernel [07:18] betz0r1z0r: nothing. If you're wondering why it looks different from normal ubuntuforum threads, that's because it's in PDA mode.

[07:24] [yan], look in /etc/aliases [07:24] what is the default configuration files that the "setxkbmap" looks in? long time ago, I configured my win keys to have specific keysym, and now I want to get rid of it, but can't find the config file which I tweaked then [07:25] <[yan]> root: brendan.franklin@gmail.com [07:25] Cannot install 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly' [07:25] This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly' the conflicting software must be removed first. [07:25] Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict. [07:25] mikem, they are installed [07:25] <[yan]> aaah [07:25] <[yan]> so in /etc/aliases is that address as root [07:25] sayedmohu: so have you done what its asking you to do? open synaptics and fix the prob [07:25] bakarat: in that case, i'm not sure. my experience is that when running a 64-bit VM in a 32-bit host the clock is always off. i could never fix it [07:26] how do i tile windows? [07:26] [yan], aliases will make postfix perform rewriting as instructed in that file [07:26] shellow [07:26] two lugins are installed [07:26] [yan], that root line will change the recipient from root to the gmail address [07:26] <[yan]> freetown, so when a mail is meant for root@localhost it's sent to that gmail address instead [07:26] sayedmohu: try uninstalling gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad first. -ugly conflicts with it [07:26] holy crap, this channel remains me to those emails i get every day with people want to enlarge my penis...

(performance? we are talking gigs of files, and not pr0nz or warez either) [07:41] reqqit: my few attempts with ftp on linux is either you put your soul into it, or don't do it at all, and for some small task, that can be annoying :( [07:41] reqqit: not really. ftp is pretty much a dumb pipe, scp is pretty darned secure [07:42] groceryheis1: "they did not work." is no exact description. [07:42] how do I check if a filesystem doesn't allow sticky bit permissions?

[07:43] reqqit: the problem is not confidentiality, its data integrity. if you can't ensure that the right person is writing in the right place, you cant ensure either. [07:43] bullgard4: sorry [07:43] reqqit: noshell works, yeah [07:43] geremy, ok, I figured there was stuff I was thinking about. scp it is! [07:44] geremy, I think I'll be using scponly [07:44] i guess since no one is responding, it must be off topic [07:44] outbackwifi, kernel panic: http://pastebin.centos.org/22411 [07:44] what is the default configuration files that the "setxkbmap" looks in? long time ago, I configured my win keys to have specific keysym, and now I want to get rid of it, but can't find the config file which I tweaked then. right now the win keys get that keysym even when I just enter "setxkbmap" command [07:45] reqqit: scponly is good, although I'll admit I find ssh an invaluable tool [07:45] geremy, however, the folder I want them to access is inside another users home directory, I guess I will ln -s to it and give them write / read / delete permissions? can they get out of there is I ln-s outside of the chroot?

I seem to have it installed on my desktop but I cannot install it no my laptop (desktop is amd64 laptop x86) [07:45] geremy, I ssh to my server of course, that is how I will set this up, but this guy won't find it invaluable, he will just dump files [07:45] [yan], yup...only sendmail delivers to root :) - well, maybe exim too [07:45] freetown: what is the mobo chipset and the cpu on that board? [07:45] kane77: whats wrong with plain unrar from repos? [07:46] GOODMORNING VIETNAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [07:46] can i please get some help? [07:46] reqqit: that depends on the level of security you're willing to tolerate. it is almost always possible for root to escape a chroot, one way or another, so the question becomes limiting the ability of another to root your system [07:46] geremy, so, do you think I can ln -s to a folder in another users directory to give them write acces there? [07:46] ay^, hmm I guess it does not unrar rars in newer format [07:46] reqqit: i would pass on that [07:46] Nvidia MCP65 IIRC [07:47] ay^, ok, I tried it and it does unrar it :) [07:47] kane77: :D [07:47] geremy, this guy isn't hostile, and my root password is hunter2 (hehehe, you hunter2ing hunter2) however [07:47] <[yan]> have you guys got a script that highlights IRC text if your name is mentioned?

[07:47] [yan]: I have that settled in irssi [07:47] the fact is, I want him to be able to dump files into my webapp dir... maybe I should ln -s into his home folder, from the webapp dir? [07:47] groceryheis1: I do not know the answer. May be people in #openoffice.org can answer. [07:47] [yan], xchat does it [07:47] freetown: isnt that an audio chip from Nvidia? [07:48] <[yan]> chaaars [07:48] neer, you can try sip-communicator it is good [07:48] [yan]: Yes, for example me. [07:48] reqqit: I'm not you, and only you can determine how much and how little security you're willing to tolerate. I probably wouldn't set things up for an easy chroot break, which symlinking will [07:48] kane77: I want to download yahoo messenger [07:48] outbackwifi, Nvidia MCP65 and an AM2 AMD Athlon64 Dualcore cpu [07:48] kane77: though I have pidgin,kopete [07:48] <[yan]> can you type [yan] again pls? i want to test it :p [07:48] kane77: there is no yahoo for ubunutu you need to get pidgin or sometime similar [07:48] I cannot orient myself in '.config - Linux Kernel v2.6.24.3 Configuration' Where would I find there the line CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y?

[07:49] kane77: then you can add a yahoo account to that [07:49] geremy, I want maximum security, I have no tollerance for insecurity, my question is, it is possible to have him dump files into another folder (with r/w permissions) in someone elses home (with scponly and chroot) [07:49] aatk, it was not me asking :) [07:49] bullgard4: just search for it?

[07:50] * freetown wraps [yan] in SPAM and prepares a big roast pit [07:50] the one in the other users home dir? [07:50] <[yan]> lulz [07:50] bullgard4: just open the file in a texteditor that can, if this is a textfile which I assume [07:50] reqqit: doesn't matter- preferably someplace that isn't widely used [07:51] reqqit: ie, not /var/log, and not /root [07:51] geremy - ftpd rooted to /home/lolcats/webapps/mirror is sounding simpler / as secure [07:51] ay^: Excellent! I am speaking about a program and not a file. [07:51] I haven't used wine before [07:51] continue though, I chroot it 'anywhere' [07:51] bullgard4: okay, then what program? or is the program called ".config" [07:51] wine [07:51] (empty) and then, ln -s from the webapps folder? [07:52] bullgard4: or am I tlaking to the wrong person here? (goes checking) [07:52] can office 2007 run on wine [07:52] hey all, i moved my machine, physicly 9 feet, now my NAS drives wont mount on my desktop [07:52] i can log into the nas [07:52] freetown: is the MSI part no MS-7369? [07:52] but i cant access any of the content [07:52] can I install yahoo messenger using wine? [07:52] reqqit: next, use lcap to remove the ability to gain root access, to chroot, and to modify network configs [07:52] i dont know i have never tried [07:52] neer what's wrong with pidgin? [07:52] neer, you can use pidgin to do that [07:52] he says he cant voice chat [07:52] UbuntuHelper, I have had MSO 2003 running, but I'm not sure about 2007 [07:52] OxDeadC0de: no voice chat [07:52] reqqit: also, to load modules, if you can. that's a good one. [07:53] OxDeadC0de: I want voice as well [07:53] geremy - why would this be a necessity? I take it this method you are talking about is a well documented, best practice? [07:53] neer, could skype? [07:53] kane77 THANKS [07:53] ay^: The program's name is '.config - Linux Kernel v2.6.24.3 Configuration'. I have clearly stated that in my question at the outset. [07:53] moDumass: i have only yahoo [07:53] outbackwifi, is that on the board? [07:53] geremy - wouldn't noshell / scponly obviate the need for all of this work? [07:53] moDumass: with the help of which I talk to my friends [07:53] neer, cool, can you voice chat with yahoo in pidgin anyone? [07:53] reqqit: its pretty much the best way to ensure that a chroot is never going to be broken, since it removes the kernel's ability to grant superuser permissions, form chroots, etc. no- this is for the terminally paranoid [07:54] !pidgin [07:54] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete [07:54] outbackwifi, i see a (601-7369-010) on the box label.... [07:54] moDumass, no you cannot [07:54] nick serv help [07:54] bullgard4: hehe, you don't expect me to know the name of every program ever written, do you? To me that seems like the .config file for a kernel. Anyhows, good luck ;) [07:54] moDumass: we cannot voice chat in pidgin [07:54] can someone please help setting up java in firefox for amd_64 hardy? I followed the steps here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435, but they did not work. [07:54] <[yan]> freetown, i changed the postfix main.cf to have jass.mydomain.com and mydomain = mydomain.com [07:54] bummer [07:54] skype it is, or windows [07:54] ay^: Enjoy Ubuntu! [07:54] [yan], okay... [07:55] * freetown gets the fire going [07:55] moDumass, you can have voice on jabber and sip as well [07:55] geremy - it sounds like just adding layers of illusionary security - unless there is a bug in scponly / noshell, those steps are redundant, correct? I do agree that it is 'correct' though - except unless it is well documented, and a best practice, you are more likely to introduce more issues than you plug, because it is one instance of code, run and tested once... [07:55] bullgard4: yeah.. That I am. [07:55] hi all [07:55] freetown: should be on the box it came in. if it is, that board is supported and listed in the linux hcl [07:55] reqqit: once you've done that, the only way to abuse the chroot is with a preexisting socket- so you're not going to pipe out, you're going to pipe in. get a program to sync the contents of the chroot from outside of it, to a known location [07:55] hi [07:55] that is, logically, removing the possibility of kernel to escape is one thing, unless, like I said, there is a bug there - just like there could be a bug in scponly / no shell [07:55] so on the equation, do you trust the lcap code more than scponly? [07:55] hi everyone [07:55] <[yan]> freetown, bah didnt work. still says orig_to= in the error [07:56] outbackwifi, well...i know the livecd and the installer work [07:56] Hi all. I've just put in a 8600gt video card, and have installed the driver for it through the hHardware Drivers... thing. However, my resolution is at 640x480 and it's as high as it can go. I've loaded up Urban Terror and am getting 125fps (As high as the game allows), so the cards working. Any idea on how to fix this? [07:56] geremy, so in this scenario, the guy would have shell access? [07:56] freetown: oh i thot the livecd was kp'ing :) [07:56] reqqit: not to point anything out, but we just had a MASSIVE ssh vulnerability that went undetected for what, a year and a half? two years? bugs happen. security flaws happen. count on them. [07:56] i need (on my 8.04) to install a nautilus with tabs. I read somewhere next nautilus release (on 8.10) it has this feature. Is there a way to add it to my 8.04 distro? [07:57] reqqit: they have access only to whatever you put in the chroot [07:57] darkness3477: do you have a proper xorg.conf? [07:57] outbackwifi, nope. the LiveCD and the alternate installer had no problems at all :(. It was after installation was completed that the kernel decided to give me a surprise [07:57] geremy, thanks for the info - I saw a HP lockdown seminar a while back when they were pushing some linux flavor, it had a nice kernel app that meant root couldnt' do anything either, and a few nice hardware, localised to the machine ways of opening security again. [07:57] jim_p, I've just let Ubuntu set everything up, so if it does it properly, I assume so :P [07:57] [yan], you need get a copy of the bounce reason from gmail.com [07:57] reqqit: its built into the kernel. its called lcap. [07:57] geremy, that was the limited keyspace? [07:57] that was a bug in the transport security then I guess [07:58] has anyone used yahoo msg in ubuntu? [07:58] christianp, why don't you wait for intrepid, it's out in few days [07:58] reqqit: yep [07:58] <[yan]> freetown, is there a root inbox somewhere i can check? i know nothing of mail checking apps [07:58] [yan], that is the only way you can try to work out why they are rejecting your emails [07:58] Hi, does anybody here know of a way to get dual monitors working with two different graphics cards? [07:58] neer: I use pidgin to do yahoo messenger [07:58] darkness3477: if you left the os to do the job, i am sure it did half of it. open up xorg.conf and search for resolutions [07:58] They're both nvidia geforces, if that helps [07:58] freetown: can you boot with livecd, mount the boot and check if the kernel and initrd image its using the same as that on the livecd? [07:58] geremy, when you say they will only have access to what is chrooted - are you saying they still have a shell? I am looking for a workable, 10 minute solution / best practice / if something goes wrong I'll hear about it on slashdot/ solution [07:58] [yan], just create another user on your box and point root to that user in aliases [07:58] s/slashdot/reddit [07:58] Opened up the xorg.conf now. Under plug n PLay, it's only at 640x 480@60. [07:58] hugh: you need to spawn two x servers; one for each card [07:58] darkness3477: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Modes [07:59] <[yan]> freetown and then what would i use to look at that users mail? [07:59] outbackwifi, sure [07:59] Not sure what resolution it should be at though [07:59] [yan], mutt [07:59] reqqit: you want real security in 10 minutes? ain't gonna happen. [07:59] Could you explain, or link me to somewhere explaining how to do that? [07:59] or is it pine on ubuntu? :D [07:59] <[yan]> freetown, cheers will install [07:59] * freetown dons asbestos armour [07:59] darkness3477: do the above command at a terminal [07:59] kane77, have i to install all 8.04 distro, or i can add only nautilus?

Or just set his shell to scponly? [08:03] darkness3477: that... nvidia control panel or whatever [08:03] outbackwifi: not the actual .config of the kernel [08:03] ziroday, the other question is, the webapps folder is inside the 'appserver' users home directory [08:03] im tryint to install new virus definitions and its says "unable because you are not root" [08:03] ay^: is there a prog like that? hmm [08:03] rogan: What command are you using? [08:03] outbackwifi: he says so.. :) [08:03] rogan: how do you try to install them? [08:04] reqqit: he will have a shell, but if you set his permissions correctly he/she won't be able to do anything in it [08:04] ziroday, would this cause a problem, I could ln -s a link to that folder in his home, and he should not be able to escape it right? [08:04] jim_p, where do I find the nvidia control panel? If I have to download it, might take awhile. Kinda might of gone over my download limit. Damn you shaped connections [08:04] Flannel: that's slick, I never knew about -i [08:04] jim_p: the ClamTk option [08:04] darkness3477: wait if someone knows [08:04] login [08:04] ziroday, sounds like I will go with removing shell too - thanks [08:04] outbackwifi: "~$ grep CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE .config" does not produce any output. [08:05] reqqit: erm that may be a problem, however you should be able to set the file permissions on the folder so he can only access that folder even if it is in someone elses home dir [08:05] rogan: can you launch clamtk with sudo and update again? [08:05] k [08:05] rogan: if its a GUI program, use gksu or kdesu [08:05] It's roughly 17inch on the diaganol. Will google for the similar reso for that. I can probably play around until I get it === richard is now known as Guest43520 [08:05] bullgard4: are you in th dir of the .confg? [08:05] er...not lvm tools in livecd? [08:05] Then I'm gonna have to do this for th big flatron tv too :P [08:05] ziroday, that is what I thought - do I have to set this up with groups, or just add him as an owner there? [08:05] ay^: Just a moment. Checking ... [08:05] reqqit: just set him as owner of the dir [08:05] people... does anyone know the command that brings up nvidia control panel? i am on ati and... i dont use a control panel for it! [08:05] bullgard4: are you in the /usr/src/linux folder ? [08:05] someone herp me preese? [08:06] ziroday, can the appserver user also be an owner? [08:06] i have a >3GB .iso file. but when i mount it, then check the mountpoint, it's empty. how come ? [08:06] hugh: sure, hit it! [08:06] jim_p: if you have the package nvidia-settings installed the command is nvidia-settings [08:06] reqqit: you say you want maximum security, I was telling you how to do it. You don't have to be nasty. [08:06] bullgard4: else as I said, open the .config in a texteditor such as gedit or vim, there you can search for that line [08:06] 1024x768 sounds about right. [08:06] How do I spawn a new x server for a new graphics card and dual monitor wit it [08:06] reqqit: no, then you have to create a group [08:06] *wid it [08:06] darkness3477: try nvidia-settings at the terminal [08:06] e-frame: after mounting look at dmesg for errors [08:06] geremy, sorry you thought I was being nasty - what exactly did I say to make yo uthink that? [08:06] thanks a lot ziroday [08:07] geremy, I thought what yo usaid was good, but a little specialised, and more likely to do harm than good (in my case!) [08:07] outbackwifi, any lvm tools on the LiveCD? [08:07] jim_p, am downloading it now. iirc, an xorg.conf chains requires a restart, yeah? [08:07] Guest64252 is UbuntuHelper [08:07] reqqit: well, the whole thing about /real/ security was a tipoff- but as I say, nothing I'm telling you is mandatory, as long as you don't complain if somebody manages to break your chroot === Guest64252 is now known as UbuntuHelper [08:08] darkness3477: they require an X restart. crtl+alt+backspace [08:08] outbackwifi: The /usr/src/linux folder does not exist. [08:08] I haven't played around with much stuff since I installed Arch awhile back. [08:08] geremy, the /real/ security means 'real world' not 'zomg l33t' security ;-) as in, you make do and if you aren't the guy who wrote the book, you use what others are using, and hope for the best :p [08:08] bullgard4: have you installed the sources? [08:08] i.e. comprimise [08:08] outbackwifi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/63153/ [08:08] Have been using windows, as I get a far better fps on it. Which goes against everyones elses experience [08:08] darkness3477: you installed arch and you got to ubuntu afterwards?!?! [08:09] Hey guys, mind taking the general security discussion elsewhere? (#ubuntu-offtopic, perhaps), you've sort of veered off topic for here. [08:09] How do I selectively STOP a non-responding process in Ubuntu? [08:09] bullgard4: ok lets do it nice and slow; change to the folder with the linux kernel source and then run that command [08:09] nvidia-settings doesn't realize I've stuck in another graphics card [08:09] reqqit: I asked you how much security you wanted, and you said "maximum". I was telling you how to do it. [08:09] geremy, my point was, if I did all that compiling, I would most likely leave a huge hole in the system, but feel secure because I did this configuration. But if I do some simple steps that 99% of people do, I am 'most likely' secure, and at least as secure as the others :p [08:09] misteralexander: killall firefox [08:09] misteralexander: killall in a terminal? [08:09] geremy, yes, and I thanked you =) [08:09] jim_p, I've used Ubuntu for awhile now. Tried Arch for something different. I liked it, but I had to tweak too many things, and my skills aren't up to that level :P [08:09] misteralexander: you can find the pid of the process with the command ps -ax | grep and then use kill -9 to kill it [08:10] jim_p: LOL -- How'd you know it was Firefox? Okay, let me try it. [08:10] hugh: you mean you instaled a whole other video card, or just one more, like sli? [08:10] wine [08:10] misteralexander: you might need to use killall firefox-bin [08:10] misteralexander: i am a psychic :P [08:10] ay^: I have installed the DEB program packages 'linux-source' and 'linux-source-2.6.24'. [08:10] I installed a whole other vidger card [08:10] reqqit: that doesn't really make any sense. the danger isn't in compiling it, the danger is in risking a broken chroot. static compilation just makes it simpler to make your chroot [08:10] killall firefox, and 'its never lupus'. Two battle cries of the 00.5's [08:10] WHEN IS KDE 5 OUT [08:10] outbackwifi, hmmm...it appears that there is no lvm support on the LiveCD. :( [08:10] model - NCI NEC CI A727 (Crt-1 on gpu-0) [08:10] bullgard4: also install the headers [08:11] jim_p: Nope, "killall firefox" worked. Thanks! [08:11] freetown: hmm [08:11] geremy, human error (me being the human) is always the biggest danger [08:11] reqqit: which is why lcap is important [08:11] reqqit, geremy, please see above. [08:11] (about moving elsewhere) === U is now known as ubuntu [08:12] geremy, i.e. great what you said, but I would screw it up, and I don't have that much time to invest to help this guy out, in face, I've burned what I did have this morning... :/ I'll find that thing on google again and follow it (scponly) thanks geremy, Flannel and ziroday [08:12] flannel: I'm sorry? [08:12] geremy, he means go private for your OT chat [08:12] darkness3477: are you there? [08:12] geremy: Taking the topic elsewhere, since it's been not-really-about-ubuntu for a while now. [08:12] jim_p, yes [08:12] geremy, he means, offtopic (i.e. we are being offtopic, and should topic or gtfo or whatever linux people say) [08:12] Did I miss something? Hard to follow on ith such a low res :P [08:12] flannel: gotcha [08:12] darkness3477: is nvidia-settings there too? [08:12] merely take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, or anotehr channel of your preference, etc. [08:13] jimmyjim?

[08:14] outbackwifi: ":/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24$ grep CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE .config; grep: .config: No such file or directory" [08:14] outbackwifi, i'll tackle this tomorrow...time is up for work today [08:14] UbuntuHelper: abiword is good, lightweight and has enough features :) [08:14] ok RefrusJim is fuxed up. [08:14] NEXT. [08:14] May be useful to note, the original was a geForce 6200 256mb, the new one is a nvidia RIVA TNT2 [08:14] cool sstk [08:14] r00tintheb0x: Please watch your language. [08:14] aatk [08:15] bullgard4: for that command to work, you need to be in the folder where your .config file is [08:15] So nvidia-glx won't recognize it because it's a legacy card [08:15] bullgard4: have you run make menuconfig or make xconfig yet? if not, that file wont be there [08:15] is there a nec official site? or did sony bought everything including the toilets? [08:15] but Synaptic won't let me install the nvidia legacy drivers without uninstalling the latest drivers [08:15] outbackwifi: No, not yet. [08:15] Flannel: i meant to say fixed. [08:15] Sorry. [08:15] bullgard4: then please do that [08:15] hugh: uninstall them then! === ricardo_ is now known as odracir34 [08:16] but.. then my GeForce 6200 won't work [08:16] how do i tile windows?

[09:54] Ors ok - lets find out what happens when you do "gksudo synpatic" from teh command line, there should be some warnings, then something fatal if it closes [09:54] it says " Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[09:56] bullgard4: It say that can't locate ACPI, and I am starting it with noacpi function at boot time.

[09:58] Ors: does it install from cli rather than synaptic?? [09:58] TANATHOS: A difficult case! Does your BIOS enable ACPI? [09:59] yes, but I think it's a newer mb and that's why ubuntu kernel does not find it [09:59] bullgard4: check his kernel version too ;) [09:59] Oprtz: Probably the needed repository is not enabled.

[10:59] error404notfound: the question is, can you ping your virtual interface? does it resolve?

[11:00] anybody here with intermediate+ knowledge of xen?

[11:09] marbisca: maybe there are no updates? [11:09] I used this method. I created a folder and made it extract to it. Then when it asks for password, I changed the permissions of the folder to "List Files". So, the leaked data got stuck there and fileroller can't do anything about it. Yay !! [11:09] frogscott: i'd have used ps -ef | grep -i amarok and killed PIDs from there [11:09] yes 20 update or more [11:09] * boring loves amarok too even if he's using gnome ;) [11:10] ActionParsnip, do u want the irc info? to try to login?

[12:00] erUSUL:no client server setup [12:01] lucas2, its a bash shell built in.. :) yes you do.. basicially it runs a script in the current shell if .bashrc is executable you could do ./.bashrc also.. or try . .bashrc [12:01] raslam: both machines have a ip adress netmask etc ? === natolumin is now known as Natolumin-essen [12:01] lucas2, . -> shortcut for 'source' i recall [12:01] bazhang u here?

[12:04] nothing about shutdown issue?

[12:04] lucas2, You are some how using dash, not bash. thats the whole problem it seems.. :) [12:04] dr_wills: are you saying this is non default? a quick google seems to show that hardy uses dash now.

Can anyone recommend a good one they have had good results with? [12:06] raslam: welll afics the problem is with the windows XP machine... in ubuntu you only need to set an ip netmask and set the windows machine XP ip address as default gateaway [12:06] lucas2: then use the "chsh" command as a said earlier [12:06] raslam: afaics* [12:07] erUSUL: I did that too... doesn't work. its problem of XP thats why I don't XP as host anymore [12:07] anyone using the new ipod 120 gb classic on ubuntu? i cant seem to transfer stuff to it through amarok [12:08] gauravkumar, hae you tried gtkpod?

[13:42] CoRnJuLiOx: he says he wants it as a .deb and the version 1.4.2 [13:42] ActionParsnip, that installs the latest version (1.51), but i want 1.42 [13:42] jjdiamon, there are some good FLOSS alternatives to winamp [13:42] jjdiamond: amarok or banshee are good replacements [13:42] jjdiamond, there are several media players native for ubuntu, no one needs winamp :) [13:42] bazhang_: what is ot mean.. [13:43] CoRnJuLiOx: you could try find it. i dunno how successful youd be [13:43] didn't like Amarok [13:43] !xmms | jjdiamond [13:43] ronnie, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [13:43] jjdiamond: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [13:43] jjdiamond: xmpp looks like winamp [13:43] bazhang_: oh.. [13:43] jjdiamong: xmms [13:43] jjdiamond: here are the wine results for winamp http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=2723, you could also try an alternative like xmms or audacious [13:43] Audacious looks similar [13:44] haven't tried xmms [13:44] packages for dapper will work fine on hardy, correct? [13:44] jjdiamond: yeah if you like old winamp its a god call [13:44] forward compatibility isn't a problem with ubuntu, is it? [13:44] i have a plethora of .shn and .flac files [13:44] XMMS looks exactly like winamp [13:44] zoidfarb: its not developed anymore [13:45] zoidfarb: yep a little too exact to be precise [13:45] i'll look into xmms [13:45] what's XMMS2 like? [13:45] !xmms | zoidfarb [13:45] zoidfarb: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [13:45] amarok is decent ;D [13:45] how about for movies? [13:45] I just use VLC [13:45] CoRnJuLiOx, no, that is not correct, each package only works on the specific version it was build for [13:45] audacious is the fork of the fork of XMMS [13:45] the interface is basic, but it plays anything [13:45] vlc or miro! [13:45] jjdiamond: vlc, real player, mplayer [13:45] damnit [13:46] i guess .shn are getting outdated [13:46] !miro | jjdiamond [13:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about miro [13:46] !player | jjdiamond [13:46] jjdiamond: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [13:46] sweet. [13:47] ?? [13:47] is it normal for there to be various cdrom folders throught the filesystem? [13:47] !xine [13:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about xine [13:47] jjdiamond: you can mount your cd drive anyplace you like [13:47] !Xine [13:47] jjdiamond: just not in /proc [13:48] you guys remember how to cut directory prefix from files when using find command? like taking out the ./ from ./filename ?? [13:48] !Xmms Hentay [13:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about xmms hentay [13:48] ActionParsnip, theres one in / and theres one in /media along with a vdrom0 folder [13:48] oops cdrom0 [13:48] jjdiamond: navigate to them and investigate, you'll find they are empty [13:48] !xmms2 Hentay [13:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about xmms2 hentay [13:48] !msgthebot | Hentay [13:48] Hentay: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [13:49] ActionParsnip, yes. and the cdrom folders have a white arrow [13:49] Hentay, /msg ubottu for fun if you wish [13:49] AxtionParsnip, what is the cdrom0 folder for? [13:49] JunHowl: man dirname [13:50] jjdiamond: good question, that always confuses me... [13:51] jjdiamond, i figure 0 is for first cdrom and 1 would exist if you had 2 cdroms [13:51] and so on [13:51] oobe, so why the cdrom folders? [13:51] 2 cdrom folders and 1 cdrom0 [13:52] ls -l /media [13:53] Hi all. I just upgraded my thinkpad t43p to Intrepid; the keyboard config is somewhat screwed. For one, the keycodes are not what they used to be. Left arrow gives 113, which ralt used to give. ralt gives 108 (sym KP_Enter). How do I get the keycode mapping I had before? [13:53] #ubuntu+1 for that jonaskoelker [13:53] JunHowl: is that what you wanted? [13:54] !intrepid | jonaskoelker [13:54] jonaskoelker: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - WARNING: lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, NOT #ubuntu [13:54] jonaskoelker, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver [13:54] ActionParsnip: Yes thanks Actually I read man page and I think its 'basename' [13:54] I'm trying to see how to do it with ls though [13:54] or find [13:54] JunHowl: as long as you get the goal its cool :) [13:54] thanks [13:54] is the atom processor in eee PCs compatible with 64bit ubuntu? [13:54] louise: no [13:54] or should I choose 32bit? [13:54] i mean jonaskoelker dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [13:55] ConstantineXVI, ok, thanks [13:55] louise: atom is currently x86 only [13:55] oobe: you think my server config is wrong? [13:55] louise: 32bit [13:55] thanks [13:55] louise: no [13:55] your xorg.conf defines your keyboard layout [13:55] i'm having some problems booting from a software raid1 - some of the times it works, sometimes it just dumps me to a shell - it dies at mounting root filesystem, but doesnt try to give it some time, it immediatley just drops me and says 'mounting /dev/md0 on /root/ failed; device or resource busy' [13:55] moi, how would i download all deb-packages (including dependencies) for a certain program without having root rights [13:56] Mark_vH: you can but its a TONNE of work and massively unsecure [13:56] how would i go about making nautilus able to open a terminal window at the current working directory ? [13:56] jonaskoelker, Option "XkbModel" "pc105" under inputdevice is what i have [13:56] you may want somthing different [13:56] anyway to add that to right clicking on a folder ? [13:56] how do i install xmms2? [13:57] Mark_vH: giving normal users access to package management is not advised and can cause issue if users start installing stuff [13:57] oobe: that doesn't work for me; neither does thinkpad; and AIUI it's not the keymap that's wrong; the keymap defines the mapping between keycodes and keysyms; what's wrong is the mapping between scancodes and keycodes [13:57] jjdiamond: sudo apt-get install xmms2 [13:57] jonaskoelker, oh ok then [13:57] Mark_vH 'sudo apt-get blah' i [13:57] sorry i cant help [13:57] ActionParsnip, fogot the sudo [13:58] ActionParsnip: i know it's a lot of work, therefore i would like to do it automatically === adabandid is now known as cosby [13:58] jjdiamond: yes, only root has access to install packages, without sudo you ran the program as ouo (a user) [13:58] jjdiamond, u need xmms2? [13:58] isn;t it a console player? [13:58] ActionParsnip: just like apt-get, but that one fails because i'm not a root on this machine [13:58] Mark_vH: you're going to be doing a lot of chowning and group membership manipulation. There is no automatic way to do it [13:59] Hentay, getting it know, i think. [13:59] Mark_vH: are you a member of sudoers or admin? [13:59] i'm having some problems booting from a software raid1 - some of the times it works, sometimes it just dumps me to a shell - it dies at mounting root filesystem, but doesnt try to give it some time, it immediatley just drops me and says 'mounting /dev/md0 on /root/ failed; device or resource busy' [13:59] ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [13:59] ActionParsnip: no, i'm that user that needs an extra program in his local user account ;) [13:59] i tried, but... [14:00] it stopped. [14:00] Mark_vH: then you cant set it up as a regular user. If you could linux would be so unsecure it would be laughable [14:00] how do i reinstall adobe flash player in mozilla firefox....the video loads to a certain length and comes back to the beginning !! [14:01] pronoy: 64bit or 32bit? [14:01] Why does the installer ask for a Full Name and not a username when setting up initial users [14:01] pronoy, i dont think thats a flash player problem [14:01] Processing triggers for libc6 ... [14:01] ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [14:01] mrichman: it ask for a username too [14:01] now what? [14:01] jjdiamond: it's installed [14:01] ActionParsnip: 32 bit [14:01] jjdiamond: its the post install gubbins...dont sweat it [14:01] ikonia: is it possible i missed it an entered a blank? [14:02] roxan : then what could it be ? [14:02] ActionParsnip: in that case, is there a way to determine all dependencies of a package (without root rights) [14:02] mrichman: yes [14:02] pronoy: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree [14:02] pronoy, your internet [14:02] hello [14:02] Mark_vH: simple websearching [14:02] it's not in my applications list [14:02] pronoy, dont forget to install to. [14:02] pronoy: then go to a site with flash (like http://www.rathergood.com/blode2) and it will be offered to you [14:03] i have a question: should i wait a few days for the stable interpid or is it use to download now? [14:03] lhgergo: up to you [14:03] jjdiamond, xmms2 is not xmms. if you want something similar to xmms then install audacious [14:03] lhgergo, u better wait :] [14:03] ok [14:03] thanks [14:03] Hi. How do I create a VPN (IPSEC/IKE) connection?

I'd like to connect to an existing VPN Server I don't want to install one. [14:05] petruk: english only please [14:05] I tried install VLC source from videolan git repo, but I think it's safer to download a valid package from Ubuntu repo. DOn't you agree? [14:05] jjdiamond: sudo apt-get --purge remove xmms2 [14:05] jjdiamond: open your package manager, find xmms2 and click "remove" [14:05] petruk, nu cto ty hocis?

[14:14] the username is also part of that step, the username is generated from thatbut you can change it [14:14] Hmm, silly me. I already have that, why didn't I use it. [14:14] PEBKAC I guess. [14:14] apparently run.exe is useless [14:14] jjdiamond: run lspci and you will see the names of the devices [14:14] ActionParsnip: well i entered "Mark Richman" and trying to log in as mrichman didnt work [14:14] jjdiamond: thats a windows binary and is useless [14:15] But I heard debugging uses gdb too?

[14:21] jonaskoelker, that will very likely cause complete system breakdown however. the packages aren't made with downgrading in mind. [14:22] -.- [14:22] I love timed releases so much right now [14:22] too confussing [14:22] mrichman, ActionParsnip, then you have to do this: init 1 and then when you get in do something like visudo check values there are default and make sure the user is member of /etc/group and members of the group adm - if this can not be done then you have failed so much you need to use a live cd and mount if you don't know how reinstall -- dude what a wipe out ;-) now I must be elsewhere [14:23] lol [14:23] ompaul: i'm booting into recovery console....hopefully i can add a new user [14:24] hey, how can i upgrade 8.04 to 8.10 RC1?

[14:24] IrishDavid: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [14:25] some websites won't identify my browser. I've only struck the problem with ubuntu. Is there a way to fix this?

[14:26] Tyrath: I think it's going to be much better in a couple of days [14:26] Tyrath: if we could answer that positively, it wouldn't be called a "release CANDIDATE", would it [14:26] I hope it will on my box ;) [14:26] ActionParsnip: i'm in as root...when i do `passwd mark` it prompts for a new password, but then says "authentication information cannot be recovered password unchanged" [14:26] Tyrath: id wait as the current intrepid is alpha software and not released [14:27] ActionParsnip: alpha now that's saying a bit much :) [14:27] mrichman: in to your installd system or live cd? [14:27] ActionParsnip: installed into a new vmware guest [14:27] LjL,I never realised it was called that [14:27] LjL: id say it was more polished [14:27] LjL: I know that a beta usually means a prototype [14:27] Tyrath: we have Alpha, then Beta, then RC [14:27] mrichman: ok then you can create a new user as root [14:28] LjL: is RC the one coming out in a few days time? [14:28] can i see any log for the shutdown process? [14:28] yeah like 4 days. Id wait. Not worth the heartache [14:28] Tyrath: no, the RC is out. it's the current release candidate. in a few days, the *final release* will be out.

[16:13] Escriba el texto aquí....hola [16:13] Simon1245: check how and what does exactly start that precise vnc server you have [16:13] hello [16:13] I have tightvnc [16:13] paco_the_bot: not at this moment, the only thing I can think of for your senario is that the file system is fragmented/corrupt [16:14] hm.. [16:14] man thats sucks [16:14] what a bummer [16:14] paco_the_bot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:14] wtf? [16:14] dulak: I mentioned that x.org issue because I have seen several people saying that X is not configured in xorg.conf any more. I don't know more. [16:14] have a question on Power Manager: How does it consider if the machine is *inactive*? when no mouse clicks or keypresses? [16:14] paco_the_bot: I don't need to see phrases like "wtf" please. [16:14] ikonia sorry.. [16:15] ikonia im just really bummed out [16:15] paco_the_bot: I'm offering you a theory - not fact [16:15] hmk [16:15] Neaai: I tweak in xorg.conf, not sure wtf they are talking about [16:15] well, i'll keep trying at it ikonia [16:15] dulak: now bare with ikonia :D [16:15] its almost done installing once again. [16:17] dulak: but yes. I do such tweaking in xorg.conf too, that's why I wanted to know for sure. [16:17] hmm some program is taking up a huge amount of memory .. someone suggested using ps, but I am not really understanding the man page right for sorting by memory usage .. any pointers? [16:17] harisund use "top" [16:17] harisund: it lists the memory foot prints [16:17] harisund: you can also check with "top" (press "q" to exit from there) [16:18] Does anyone know how on a server with several ip addresses I would allow only ssh and ftp connections on one of the ips, while leaving the other ips alone? [16:18] ubuntuROX: use iptables [16:18] ubuntuROX you can either bind ssh to one range, or use host.allow and host.deny or as Neaai iptables [16:18] ubuntuROX: man sshd_config and look for ListenAddress [16:18] For any of your command line junkies out there: does anyone know how to pass a ctl-alt-f7 command to a computer without actually pressing that series of buttons? [16:19] ubuntuROX: iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -s ! 192.168.1.12 -j DROP (where that ip address is the one you want to allow ssh connections at) [16:19] harisund: try "top -s" [16:19] ubuntuROX: for FTP, probably have to use iptables unless the FTP daemon supports binding to addresses [16:19] good idea to check ftp [16:20] ubuntuROX: sorry.. wait. add the port 22 there [16:20] ubuntuROX: iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -s ! 192.168.1.12 --dport 22 -j DROP (where that ip address is the one you want to allow ssh connections at) [16:21] question: does anyone know how to make Nautilus allow you to right click on a folder icon and choose to open a console window with the folder set as the current work directory ? [16:21] thanks wolfie2x Neaai and ikonia .. I think I will take some time in understanding what the columns of top are :) [16:21] so that will disable everything else? [16:21] i'm trying to compile aphopper (aphopper.sf.net), but i get these errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/63296/ [16:21] ubuntuROX: yes. And allow only connections targeted for that ip address [16:21] seronis: I don't know how to do that, but if you have a terminal open, you can drag and drop the folder there and it will automatically type in the path for you, so you could do "cd " and then drag the folder from Nautilus and drop it on the terminal [16:22] LjjjL what are the __u/s references in the add.c [16:22] but http and everything else will stay open for the others? === carlo is now known as Guest9720 [16:22] I guess I need to figure out how to understand iptables [16:22] ikonia: i've no real idea, but they are in wireless.h anyway, not add.c [16:22] ubuntuROX: yes. That's why you specify the port 22, the ssh port. [16:22] harisund: that will have to work in the meantime, thanks [16:22] ciao [16:22] LjjjL ok, so they are header references not actually in the code [16:22] join #skype [16:22] seronis, http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/cat-executing.php [16:22] ok [16:23] ikonia is there any other way i can dual boot it without formatting my HD and leaving windows XP on my pc? [16:23] i'm trying to convert a .3g2 file into an .avi or .mpeg - I'm using mobile media converter but i just get errors when i click on encode, any other way? [16:23] ikonia: yes, wireless.h is a header found in a few ubuntu packages (kernel headers, something else). i tried including various versions of them, but always the same result [16:23] paco_the_bot repartition to make 2 partitions, one for wiindows one for ubuntu [16:23] how about for ftp? same thing just with ftp port? [16:23] LjjjL grabbing the header now [16:23] ikonia can u give me a link too guide me too the right direction? [16:23] LjjjL→ which compiler is the makefile referencing? gcc or g++ ? [16:23] LjjjL, is that the complete error message? [16:24] !dualboot [16:24] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [16:24] unop: yes, just the input is missing, which was "make" [16:24] ubuntuROX: yes. You specify what port you want to allow with "--dport " [16:24] magnetron: it references "cc" [16:24] LjjjL: that looks like in the add.c there are some structs that won't be named [16:24] hmm [16:24] thank you ikonia [16:24] Thank You Neaai [16:25] this is my 1st time... [16:25] LjjjL whats the source file package and I@ll grab it [16:25] anyone know how to reset a machine through vnc when it stops responding? [16:25] captmo: ssh in [16:25] ikonia: add.c itself is very short. it looks right to me [16:25] ubuntuROX: no mention [16:25] LjjjL so you've not got any structs that are not named/defiend [16:25] defined [16:25] ikonia: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/aphopper/aphopper-0.3.tar.gz?download [16:25] ikonia: not in add.c [16:25] ikonia: thanks ill try that out [16:26] ikonia and this will be mainly the same thing as the Wubi installer correct? [16:26] LjjjL well I wouldn't expect it in the header [16:26] hi . anyone who had fixed problem of Inte pro wireless card 3945GB [16:26] except for th echance that i can format my hd. [16:26] hi . anyone who had fixed problem of Inte pro wireless card 3945GB on ubuntu 8.04 [16:26] paco_the_bot no, it will not use anything to do with wubi [16:26] i know that much [16:26] ikonia: me neither but. [16:26] hm [16:27] hi . anyone who had fixed problem of Inte pro wireless card 3945GB on ubuntu 8.04 [16:27] who was asking about putty? [16:27] well, ikonia is Wubi-8.04.1-rev506 the only version of Wubi? [16:28] paco_the_bot forget wubi (in my opinion) [16:28] I need to install the gstreamer packages from intrepid but I want to continue to run hardy heron, is this even possible? [16:28] but [16:28] lol [16:28] cambridgecow no [16:28] its the easiest in my option though ikonia [16:28] cambridgecow mixing versions is not a good idea [16:28] paco_the_bot then use it, I'm not sure what you want me to say [16:28] cambridgecow, i think its but thats not a good idea === wobblyw1 is now known as wobblywu [16:28] !prevu | cambridgecow - you'll need to backport packages from intrepid [16:28] cambridgecow - you'll need to backport packages from intrepid: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [16:29] ikonia im just asking if Wubi-8.04.1-rev506 is the only version [16:29] is it or is it not? [16:29] ? [16:29] LjjjL: just working it through now [16:29] thanks [16:29] paco_the_bot: wubi isn't made by ubuntu - visit/look at the wubi website [16:29] HMM [16:29] ok :) [16:30] does anyone know how to do some basic video editing in linux? [16:31] LjjjL: it's a header miss-match for sure, I've just built it on a RHEL/fedora box pair [16:31] navetz: I've used avidemux to do some video stuff before, nothing too spectacular though, just put a soundtrack to a recording of me working with my desktop [16:31] hey people [16:32] -rw-r--r-- 1 mattd users 2.1K 2008-10-27 16:31 add.o [16:32] dulak: do you know if avidemux can add text? [16:32] ikonia: yeah i think i've built it too previously... perhaps on my debian [16:32] LjjjL I'll start looking at the header now, rather than the c [16:32] i have a question i have been wondering for a long time now [16:33] hi . anyone who had fixed problem of Inte pro wireless card 3945GB on ubuntu 8.04 [16:33] LjjjL: an 8.04 box ? === floyd is now known as darkspirit [16:33] ikonia: yes [16:33] navetz: no idea actually [16:33] LjjjL: ok, I'll take a look [16:34] navetz: it has a subtitle filter listed so I assume that means yes [16:34] dulak: alright cool, thank you. [16:34] can anyone help me with amazingly hard thing like unzip unrar stuff? i dont want to talk here because its not enough to tell me unzip filename.. or unrar x filename.. no.. === cory is now known as guitarthrasher [16:34] i would like to talk in private [16:35] webas talk in here - what is the problem [16:35] Need some attention [16:35] how by the gods should i learn how to unzip file [16:35] i need from deskop unzip files to another folder [16:35] webas type unzip $file_name [16:35] !pm | webas [16:35] webas: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [16:35] webas: you may need to install rar. do sudo apt-get rar to install then use archive manager to unrar files on your system [16:35] webas→ just doubleclick the zip file, it works by default [16:36] Hi! [16:36] hello ????????????????????????????????? [16:36] mr_polite i cant uze archive manager, because i need to do it via terminal only..because of sudo.. [16:36] Ca{P}RiCoRN: whjat ? [16:36] nothing works by default, this is linux [16:36] webas sudo unzip filename [16:36] webas: you can use the -d switch to unzip to force it to unzip into a different folder: unzip file.zip -d /path/to/folder [16:36] Somebody have Frets On Fire installed on Ubuntu Hardy? [16:36] ikonia: well waiting from last 10 mins to get some response [16:37] webas: ubuntu comes pre-installed with an archive manager capable of handling all kinds of compressed files, rar capability does not come preinstalled but can be added easily by using the install command [16:37] webas→ type "gksudo file-roller" and you'll get a sudo fileroller [16:37] Intel pro wireless card 3945GB on ubuntu 8.04 [16:37] Ca{P}RiCoRN: then wait rather than make noise [16:37] ikonia you seem to ignore my problem, i need to unzip file from desktop folder, to q3a folder that is somewhere else, and i need root password, so why you suggest me just - unzip filename.. [16:37] FretsOnFire doesn't run on my Ubuntu... [16:37] webasyou seem to ignore what I said [16:37] ikonia: i have to complete some work and cant do without internet [16:37] ciao [16:37] webas: if you run file-roller as sudo you can extract the files anywhere [16:37] webas→ type "gksudo file-roller" and you'll get a sudo-archive-manager! [16:37] webas sudo unzip $filename will unzip it, you can then move the content, or as someone else said use unzip -d [16:38] and no option with wireless [16:38] Ca{P}RiCoRN: is it not 3945BG? [16:38] yes [16:38] rblst: yes [16:39] i unrar and now im angry on myself, how can i find those files amongst all other files that are in desktop folder.. [16:39] webas unrar is not unzip [16:39] webas: what do you want to do unrar or unzip [16:40] salve [16:40] Ca{P}RiCoRN, http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fhitechz.blogspot.com%2F2008%2F06%2Fproblema-con-wireless-de-portatil.html&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=auto&tl=en [16:41] ciao xxploit [16:41] ikonia: i [16:41] ikonia: i've made it, by including also [16:41] LjjjL: looks like the kernel libc santized headers are too "new" in this case, although I've seen that with old headers [16:42] LjjjL: wait made you go for that ? I can'tsee anything that references that [16:42] LjjjL: educate me [16:42] ikonia you are lame helper.. [16:42] !attitude | webas [16:42] webas: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [16:42] webas: I'm asking you clear direct questions to be able to help you clearly [16:42] webas: are you unzipping or unrarring [16:42] webas: they are two different things [16:42] ikonia: the wireless.h that's included with iwlib says, before doing its #includes, that those aren't good for user-space programs, and to look at iwlib.h for the right includes to use. so i included that [16:42] roxan: long work [16:42] LjjjL: ahhh [16:43] ikonia: that is not however, but merely (coming from the iwlib package not libc) [16:43] mr_polite that file-roller - what exactly it does? because only after this for the first time i can unrar or unzip files via ark.. strange.. and thanks :) [16:43] why it has problem in 8.04 . it wwas working fine on 7.10 [16:43] LjjjL: funny I've had this problem with mplayer and the 2.6.16 headers hence my earlier comment [16:43] Ca{P}RiCoRN, thats the only work i found. sorry. [16:44] ok [16:44] LjjjL looking at the fedora box I've used, it doesn't go against the libc wirless.h either [16:44] Someone with FretsOnFire working on Ubuntu? [16:44] LjjjL: so it looks like your on the right overall track rather than a work around [16:44] very strange because its a problem and ubuntu community didnt provide any solution to this bug [16:45] Ca{P}RiCoRN: maybe they don't know ? [16:45] Ca{P}RiCoRN: is there a bug logged ? [16:45] Ca{P}RiCoRN, even it is this is not the place to tell [16:45] ikonia: the program itself isn't working, though, but thhat might be for a number of reasons i suppose [16:45] hmm .. ok [16:45] LjjjL I doubt thats the header [16:47] hi all [16:47] !welcome | aLeSD___ [16:47] aLeSD___: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel.

(it looks like it was under /usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/apps/semantik/templates//java/Makefile and now is /usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/apps/semantik/templates/java/Mapview.java (so java applet generation is broken) [17:43] [admin], and lsmod just in case http://paste.ubuntu.com/63321/ [17:43] I've been asked what are the differences between Ubuntu's CD and DVD editions. couldn't find a fast pointer on the web. may be because I'm pre-coffee. [17:44] Hi all === starshine_away is now known as starshine [17:44] I want to upgrade the distro , but I have a very slow connection [17:44] [admin], and here's dpkg -l |grep alsa http://paste.ubuntu.com/63322/ [17:44] so I need the least upgrades [17:44] maybe the bot can help me? :) [17:44] how can I do that? [17:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/63323/ [17:44] <[admin]> cubex, http://paste.ubuntu.com/63321/ [17:44] because with the current tutorials, it gets me over 1400 Mb of data [17:44] <[admin]> cubex, sorry .... i meant this -> sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0 snd-intel8x0m snd-hda-intel [17:44] starshine: only differences are in the amount of packages included [17:44] do it early .. i m standing on one leg holding laptop :) [17:44] how do I create a shared folder with Ubuntu? I created a folder called Ub on my desktop, and putted it in the settings in the right section, and tried to do: [17:44] "sudo mount -t vboxsf Ub /mnt/ub" [17:44] and I got this error: [17:44] "/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such file or directory." [17:44] Roggy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:45] starshine: dvd obviously has more packages, eliminating the need to download some packages with the cd version [17:45] billybigrigger: there is someone saying they want the "full" ubuntu, the concern is the DVD will contain something they demand or not? [17:45] starshine: both will install full functional os's though [17:45] ArShAm: For a slow connection, you can try getting the cd/dvd of that distro you want to upgrade to and use that for the upgrade. [17:45] Neaai, thanks [17:46] starshine: well no one in their right mind has the need to install ALL the packages for ubuntu so "full" ubuntu would be the cd or dvd whatever he wants [17:46] how do I create a shared folder with Ubuntu? I created a folder called Ub on my desktop, and putted it in the settings in the right section, and tried to do: "sudo mount -t vboxsf Ub /mnt/ub" and I got this error: "/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such file or directory."

But you never know. Uusally the changes from prerelease to final are minor, afaik. [17:47] starshine: i've tried earlier dvd's and end up always getting the cd in the next release, on a fast net connection theres no need to install pacakages from a dvd, apt-get install works fast [17:47] ahh, cool.. thanks :) [17:47] <[admin]> cubex, remove the snd-intel8x0m [17:47] could anoyone help me lol... haha if I cant open prgramms... it doesnt react...

What to do? [17:47] no problem [17:47] starshine: as far as i know i dont think the dvd comes with any more wallpapers, just packages :P [17:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/63325/ [17:48] * ArShAm loves (k)ubuntu since it's borned [17:48] roggy well the file on your desktop is /home/roggy/Ub not /mnt/Ub, you need to sudo mkdir /mnt/Ub and mount that [17:48] billybigrigger: ok, thanks, is there anywhere on the website that mentions what packages are different so it's easy for them to decide? [17:48] omg [17:48] <[admin]> cap go ahead eth1 is the wireless try sudo iwlist scan [17:48] starshine: i have no clue, you might have to dig a bit on the wiki, wiki.ubuntu.com [17:49] billybigrigger: *nod* thanks === francis__ is now known as francis === schmick_ is now known as Schmick [17:49] starshine: np [17:49] [admin], the modules are loaded now without any error! i don't get it [17:49] <[admin]> cubex, did you try to record ?

[18:01] neaai because it's runing from live cd [18:02] HDready: huh, yeah that is strange [18:02] wiivile2: and you're accessing the disk in the meantime ? [18:02] how can i execute a shell script in ./bin at boot BEFORE a user logs in ??? [18:02] Is tapioca still supported in Hardy? [18:02] yes [18:02] [admin], i don't think so, because this ata2 error has been with me since 2.6.24 on hardy. i think it's a bios thing [18:02] I am trying to connect to my ubuntu machine through remote desktop from my windows machine. I have set the login to allow remote desktop. what else do I need? Do I need another remote desktop app? Am I missing a setting? [18:02] is there a spanish channel around ? [18:02] [admin], what bothers me is that sound's working fine, only recording isn't [18:02] qdii yes #ubuntu-es [18:02] tvanover: a vnc client [18:02] wiivile2: it has to be unmounted first. Also... is your disk removable media or fixed standard disk ? [18:02] <[admin]> SuperATP, add it to /etc/rc.local [18:02] [admin], so sound modules are definitely probed correctly, but it's something that has to do with configuration [18:02] cheers [18:02] <[admin]> !en | qdii [18:02] qdii: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [18:03] Tundrayeti312: yes it is ;) dont know last time i played around with some preferences... next time i try to write them down ^^ [18:03] why you guys calling yourself with [] now??? [18:03] [admin], I still get "no such device". [18:03] SuperATP: the .rc files run before login. [18:03] [admin], and the whole alsa/pulse/gstreamer setup is a little confusing [18:03] <[admin]> Roggy, what is that related to samba share ? [18:03] Is tapioca still supported in Hardy? Or any other possibilities to use voice in gtalk? [18:03] [admin]: i can't configure things like like resolution, monitor type, gfx driver through dpkg-reconfigure, i only see questions about keyboard [18:04] <[admin]> cubex, for sure ... [18:04] !su [18:04] 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) [18:04] i am trying to create a shared folder... [18:04] <[admin]> Prometheus7777, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [18:04] [admin], well thanks for taking the time :) [18:04] how do I search for a file? [18:04] !gksu [18:04] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [18:04] <[admin]> Roggy, try creating it on your desktop first [18:04] [admin], i'm off to restart [18:04] <[admin]> cubex, good luck [18:05] cambridgecow: updatedb ; locate file.name [18:05] [admin], create what, and on which computer? virtual or host? [18:05] I have an ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] card and the dual monitor DOES work, however, it's cloned output. Is there a way of expanding the desktop rather than cloning the input? [18:05] so windown's own remote desktop won't work?

[18:07] [admin], i try to make a shared folder (windows host, virtual Ubuntu, folder called Ub) [18:07] [admin]: so how do i change display resolution? [18:07] <[admin]> Prometheus7777, now goto System -> preferences -> screen resolution to set it up [18:07] <[admin]> Roggy, try this open nautilus then type in the address smb://[your host ip address/Ub/ [18:08] tvanover: no, as SuperATP said, use vnc client [18:08] any bug triagers around? [18:09] I'm trying to get Hardy to work on a MacBook Air. I installed from a [18:09] superdrive I have followed these instructions [18:09] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook%20Air%201%2C1%20and%20Hardy [18:09] (except I used bcmwl6.inf as there was no bcmwl5.inf) and at the [18:09] bottom it says "After the next reboot, Wireless will always be [18:09] DaveE_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:09] available." That seems not to be the case. The Network Connection [18:09] [admin], IP adress as 127.0.0.1 (localhost), or real one? [18:09] <[admin]> Roggy, the host (windows) one [18:09] hi everybody, I'm looking 4 help [18:09] <[admin]> Roggy, but you have to make sure your ubuntu got an ip address from the virtual ethernet in windows host [18:10] <[admin]> !ask | brickhazel [18:10] brickhazel: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[18:12] <[admin]> british-beppe, use lpd protocol , with the correct driver selection [18:12] anyway, there's a bug out there for Intrepid that I think could use a little developer or triager feedback. I'm pretty sure it affects all desktops running Intrepid: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/280931 [18:12] <[admin]> SuperATP, the full command, as you'll run it from terminal , sh /bin/script.sh [18:12] cool thanks [18:12] <[admin]> SuperATP, before the exit 0 [18:12] yup [18:13] <[admin]> !ibex > jblackhall [18:13] jblackhall, please see my private message [18:13] [admin], how i open nautilus?

I had a drive failure and want to tag another drive as boot. [18:16] <[admin]> british-beppe, use for lpd "lpd://[ip of windows machine]/[printer name]" without quotations , and then select the driver for it [18:16] <[admin]> Scunizi, try replacing the plugs [18:16] anybody knows how can i change my keyboards shortcuts in gedit? i dunno how, but now CTRL + S is open Search Dialog, not saving anymore! [18:16] <[admin]> Scunizi, hardware-wise [18:17] <[admin]> igors, system - preferences - keyboard shortcut [18:17] <[admin]> igors, from main menu [18:17] [admin]: yes.. 3 drives in the machine with /home on a seperate partition.. my main boot drive (containing my ubuntu install / & /swap) had a hardware failure.. === Guest8578 is now known as randomskk [18:18] <[admin]> Scunizi, try running a live cd to rescue your system ... [18:18] [admin]: I want to make my 2nd drive (which currently has my newer ubuntu install) the boot drive but it doesn't have a boot flag on the partition [18:18] [admin], he can't open it... anyway, why work different than the manual (section 4.6, at least on version 2.0.3)? [18:18] [admin], there is no "Save" there :T [18:18] firefox keeps saying i need to restart. how can i fix it? [18:18] <[admin]> Scunizi, just maske it the primary harddrive detected by the motherboard [18:18] [admin]: k.. I'll try that.. [18:19] <[admin]> lirit, did you add anything to it ? [18:19] <[admin]> Scunizi, just change the old one with the new installed one, and vica versa [18:19] Bonjour ! [18:19] Hellow I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to reset the GNOME menu to the system default? As in to reset it to a "clean install" state. [18:19] british-beppe: or you can go with samba, URI: smb://// [18:19] [admin]: no [18:19] [admin], he can't open it... anyway, why work different than the manual (section 4.6, at least on version 2.0.3)? [18:19] <[admin]> lirit, do you have saved passwords that you care about ? anything saved in firefox ? [18:20] [admin]: no, [18:20] I'm trying to get Hardy to work on a MacBook Air. I installed from a superdrive I have followed these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook%20Air%201%2C1%20and%20Hardy (except I used bcmwl6.inf as there was no bcmwl5.inf) and at the bottom it says "After the next reboot, Wireless will always be available." That seems not to be the case. The Network Connection icon in the bar, top right says "No network [18:20] devices have been found" and only the modem shows up in the nm-applet dialog. I want to diagnose deeper into where/why the wireless network is failing. How do I do that? I don't understand what those ndiswrapper and modprobe commands are supposed to do, or if they worked. Help? [18:20] <[admin]> lirit, close firefox, open terminal and use this mv ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.mozilla/firefox-old, then start firefox [18:21] is anyone here good with encrypted lvm? [18:21] <[admin]> Roggy, please on ubuntu open terminal and type ifconfig paste it on paste.ubuntu.com [18:21] is there a way of getting dual monitor support on the ATI R700 because I have dual monitor just having issues extending the screen. [18:21] anybody knows how can i configure gedit keyboard shortcuts? [18:21] [admin]: thing is it isn't a newly installed one.. I'm just removing the bad one.. weird thing is the bad one had windows & ubuntu installed as dual boot.. I think the partition table got messed up. Gparted won't see the drive but grub loads an allows me to get into my secondar install of ubuntu (on a different drive) AND into the Windows install on the bad drive.. very strange. [18:22] <[admin]> igors, can't you see this , goto system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts === xB4 is now known as xB4S1Cx === iiiii is now known as Guest94252 [18:23] [admin], i've already gone there, of cource, but there is not shortcut to Save there. This problem is just on gedit, other editors works fine [18:23] essentially my system has two encrypted partitons which together make up the LVM volume my root partition is in, but at bootup it only asks for the passphrase for one of them [18:23] <[admin]> Scunizi, then dont change the cables, since grub is istalled on the bad one, just edit the /boot/grub/menu.list to make the new ubuntu the default [18:23] [admin], http://paste.ubuntu.com/63342/ [18:23] since the other is still encrypted it can't access root and fails to boot [18:23] gedit doesn't save with ctrl + s anymore... [18:23] any ideas how I could make it decrypt both partitions before trying to mount root? [18:24] [admin], E: Malformed line 31 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) <<--- what is wrong?

[20:59] cur* tmack, thanks [20:59] of** [20:59] mxweas, I have 4gb of ram too, when swap is off i still get problems [20:59] hmm [20:59] Poweriso for Linux? Where? In repos no such package [20:59] I have a NFS server which is not on 24/7. Sometimes when I load apps like k3b that try to return you to the last directory you used them with they take forever to time out looking for the NFS server that is down. [21:00] mxweas, when the problem occurs its pretty big. create a swap partition of 1gb or something... [21:00] i made it look like the screenshots on the amarok site http://amarok.kde.org/screenshots except i dont have the kde borders [21:00] in general, if I have a host alias in /etc/hosts, it takes forever for the system to come back with a timeout when it's down [21:00] mxweas, or even 100mb [21:00] mxweas: unless you know how to set it up it will need one partition for all your data and the system itself and another for swap.. like cambridgecow mentioned if you know how you can set swap to a file.. [21:00] can I speed this up? [21:00] cambridgecow: so how do I tell the partitioning thing to take my 8gb partition and make a 7gb and 1gb out of it [21:00] Also, where would grub go as I can't use it as my main bootloader [21:00] who i can put ok toobar on me XFCE [21:00] can I put grub on the linux partition as well? [21:00] mxweas, you can use the Gnome Partition Editor, its on the live cd and is the best way to edit partitions [21:00] Freakin_Busy: did you see my post? about going to My Computer or Computer? [21:01] question: does anyone know how to make Nautilus allow you to right click on a folder icon and choose to open a console window with the folder set as the current work directory ?

[21:01] this is all on the same hd [21:01] yess [21:01] sorry same partition [21:02] mxweas: Also, the Ubuntu installer let's you look at what it wants to do with partitions and change it. [21:02] mxweas, do you only have 7gb for ubuntu? That is a little small [21:02] i would recommend at least 10 [21:02] but it will probably work anyway [21:02] Useful, since sometimes it wants to install itself into a 1 GB partition you had previously used as swap space [21:03] who in here is using WINDOZE!? that deserves a permanent B [21:03] BAN [21:03] jk [21:03] !offtopic | go_beep_yourself [21:03] go_beep_yourself: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[22:59] CarlFK, schmrz: you probably need gnome-screensaver-command instead. You also probably need to set DISPLAY appropriately [22:59] hspaans, "tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN" [23:00] shoot^: go and edit /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf... comment the line "skip-networking" [23:00] shoot^: so it's listening. you aren't behind a NAT router or something?

I havn't talked to my router by typing in 192.168.1.1 into the web box.. I try it now and it doesn't pop up with my password.. only says Authenacation required error 404 or some crap. I'm sure i could get it to work but i don't want to reinstall my router.. any ideas? [23:03] hspaans, i have granted the relevant user permissions already: is that what you meant? [23:03] magicrobotmonkey: check with ifconfig for errors/collisions, but I expect not [23:03] Ascorbic_Acid: you probably told it to save the password... go into firefox and delete your stored password for 192.168.1.1 [23:04] shoot^: search for the flush priviledges part [23:04] hspaans, sure :-) [23:04] CarlFK: does anything work? For example, activating it?

I am on ubuntu right now and can't find the options for either of those [23:05] CarlFK: if that works then gnome-screensaver-command --deactivate should also work... [23:05] hey. [23:05] ALL EXCEPT fam portmap: 192.168.2.: ALLOW -- Why doesn't it work? [23:06] shoot^: and it may that you gave the user an incorrect machine or source part. just delete those rules and define again. mysql sometimes goes fubar [23:06] Ascorbic_Acid: tools -> clear private data and then Edit -> Preferences -> security -> saved passwords [23:07] schmrz: I hit shift to wake it up. --activate cleard the screen, --poke brought it back. but... it looks like it is not putting the monitor into power save mode [23:07] CarlFK: so you just want to put the monitor into powersave mode?

You can probably use some variation on that [23:08] dr_willis: thanks [23:09] Ascorbic_Acid: no, you just need to remember your router password. It has nothing to do with linux. If you can't remember it, hold the reset button on the router for about 30 seconds.

[23:10] ljl: ubuntu comes without warranty?? [23:10] jrib: DISPLAY=:0 xset dpms force off/on - works. thanks. will have to see if it takes care of whatever happens when it times out - but guessing that and gnome-screensaver-command --poke will do it [23:10] Ascorbic_Acid: yes, then just refresh the page and it comes back.

If you can't get it to work properly, just do a factory reset on it.
