[00:03] slm [00:03] diese1: do you have permissions to do that? [00:03] hello, it's me again. How would I uninstall my ati drivers using the root shell (apt-get...)? or what is the function to get a list of installed apps by page [00:03] what folder are you trying to remove?

[00:05] mikebeecham, Just make it executable and then execute it. [00:05] _JayT_: you can do that, but it shouldn't be needed [00:06] tundrayeti312: did you logout? [00:06] <_JayT_> nevermind, it worked. [00:06] <_JayT_> tks [00:06] WelshDragon: Hi there mate...I only installed Ubuntu today...is there a wiki on making it an executable? [00:06] favro: no, someone said it should be effective immediately, guess i misunderstood, ill try that [00:07] got it [00:07] mikebeecham, Right click it, Properties > Permissions > Tick Allow executing file as program. [00:07] diese1: then you don't have permissions do delete it and you can do it only as root. are you sure you want to delete it? are you sure you know exactly you're trying to delete the right folder? [00:07] tundrayeti312: it might be effective immediately but there's a typo or something [00:07] WelshDragon: sweeet [00:07] thanks mate [00:07] mikebeecham, then just double click it, and click Run in terminal :) [00:07] bremby: yes. i was trying to setup network file sharing and created shared in /media [00:08] bremby: rmdir /media/shared [00:08] bremby: got it [00:08] thanks. === Zyark is now known as Zyark|zZ [00:09] so my new macbook pro has a broadcom wireless card, from searching I need to install the wl driver [00:09] i may just have to d/l openfiler [00:09] how do I do that? [00:09] guys, see you later... goodbye and goodnight! and enjoy Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex! [00:09] hello. i am running a vnc server from my ubuntu 8.04 server, however, when i try to connect to it, it says "The server is already in use" how can i reset the VNC server so i can connect to it? [00:10] ok so I'm just going to buy a different raid controller - can you please tell me a raid controller that is optimally compatible with ubuntu? I am running heron [00:10] anyone know about the broadcom driver? [00:10] riz0n vncserver -kill :xx where xx is the display you started it on [00:10] All clients play sound for some applications, but not for others like internet sites. I've played with sound preferences to no avail. [00:11] ok it says I will need to kill the Xvnc process manually [00:11] someone said they will trace my ip etc, could he be able to harm my computer in any way? [00:11] nbeebo: not if you unplug it ;) [00:11] how do i check how much space is being used on my HD? [00:12] diesel: df -h [00:12] well except that? [00:12] so how do i view the processes on my machine so i can kill the Xvnc process [00:13] mosburn: thanks [00:13] riz0n: in terminal top [00:13] riz0n System Monitor [00:13] riz0n: then hit k then type the pid then enter [00:13] what could anyone with my ip be able to do?... [00:13] last question for now, is there a way to upgrade the vncviewer on my ubuntu machine from v4.1 to a higher version? [00:13] lol well i got a problem i am at a shell prompt so i am not sure if "System Monitor" is an option [00:14] theres a program....... HMMMM lol [00:14] riz0n ok favro is right just use top [00:14] what could anyone with my ip be able to do?... [00:14] riz0n: in terminal ps -aef | grep vnc should get you the pid [00:14] thanks im checking it out [00:14] this is not support channel? [00:15] cyberjackal: THANK YOU SO SO MUCH [00:15] what could anyone with my ip be able to do?... [00:15] riz0n: np :) [00:15] That done the trick [00:15] is there a way to upgrade the vncviewer on my ubuntu machine from v4.1 to a higher version? [00:16] now i got another question.. using ssh, how can i run vncviewer localhost:1 in a "low bandwidth mode" [00:16] noone able to answe what someone with my ip can do with my computer? [00:16] when i run vncviewer through ssh it is painfully slow [00:16] nbeebo: it all depends on what is open on your computer [00:16] sorry nbeebo, I'm not sure. [00:16] neebo destroy your life. [00:16] nbeebo: not much. did someone threaten you or something? [00:17] nbeebo: are you hooked up behind a router or plugged straight into the network [00:17] router and modem [00:17] riz0n man ssh - there is a compression option which may help some [00:18] ok i guess its safe then [00:18] nbeebo, lots of things [00:18] nbeebo, anybody can trace anybody on the Internet. After all, you have to be connected to the Internet right? I hope your router can't be cracked. [00:19] Why no sound from my students tower or headphones? [00:19] freetown, anything can be compromised [00:19] holy.... .... hmm except overload my connection can he access my terminal? [00:19] nbeebo, yeah, the safest thing is to unplug yourself [00:19] riz0n: depending on which vnc you are using, you can play with the -quality option, which takes a value from 0-9, 0 meaning high compression, low quality [00:20] i'm switching over from linux mint to ubuntu 8.10, but i need to know if there is any way to keep my unfinished torrent downloads, and resume them once i make the switch? i'm using deluge [00:20] nbeebo, so if you want to be on the Net, read up on what you can do to protect yourself [00:20] i will [00:21] anyone got an idea how to get audio with Java (Web Start) applications without starting them in a VirtualBox running Windows? [00:21] is there a way to upgrade the vncviewer on my ubuntu machine from v4.1 to a higher version? [00:21] freetown, if you have physical access to a machine then said machine is fully accessible to you :-) [00:21] guest always when u start a torrent u get a torrent file somewhere on ur computer [00:21] look for it ... then dunno lol [00:21] all computers are on 100% volume, sound works with some items [00:21] Anyone know about installing a broadcom wireless driver for a mac book? [00:21] ok bye im newbie [00:22] nbeebo, you could use proxies however many IRC servers disallow this and in the case of freenode gives its users a cloak option [00:22] TuxSympathiser, yup. You need to lock up your computer in a massive safe [00:22] i have it behind an electric fence === ApOgEE- is now known as ApOgEEk [00:22] freetown, exactly, which is what big businesses do! [00:22] * Scunizi computer is protected by 3 pitbulls and a rattle snake [00:23] mine are defended by "the clapper" [00:23] prince_j1mmys, please tell me which wires are safe to touch :P [00:23] well ill hope for the best i were just being an ass spamming a channel on a game... so i think hes no pro lol thanks all bye [00:23] TuxSympathiser, you just need Scissors...the ultimate network security tool! http://www.dumbentia.com/pdflib/scissors.pdf [00:23] kthef, not in the case of windows and wireless networking [00:23] hi [00:23] yes, it will work there too! === AJC_Z0- is now known as AJC_Z0 [00:24] I am in a real mess... I cannot get these two computers networked together at all [00:24] just have to use it on your router [00:24] hehehe [00:24] kthef, windows loves connecting to open wireless access points so maybe my access point will be open but also monitor and save every packet muhahahahaha [00:24] I have one wireless adapter and two computers beside each other... so one will have the wireless adapter and they will be linked together via a wired network [00:24] question: Is it possible to enable autologin on my laptop only if i'm near it, using bluetooth and my cell? [00:24] I cannot seem to get the ip masquerading to work... any help? [00:24] erisco: what order does the BIOS tell it to boot in? [00:24] Hey, where does X11 read its modules from? I'm trying to load the fpit module and having no luck [00:24] I don't even know where to start looking... I am aimlessly trying things out of guids [00:25] Guest14027, what? [00:25] Guest14027, sorry but what does the BIOS have to do with it? [00:25] If it won't boot, mabye its booting from hard drive [00:25] sun-java6-jdk - Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 6 - from apt-cache search jdk [00:25] Guest14027, what? it boots fine [00:26] Guest14027, I am having problems with ICS [00:26] Azhi_Dahaka_: it's certainly "possible", but i know of nothing that actually does it. the "blueproximity" package, however, allows you to lock your screen automatically when you move away from the computer, and unlock when you come back [00:26] Does it boot to network you want it to? [00:26] Guest14027, what are you talking about? [00:26] I really think my RAID is running but I can't see it listed as a logical drive anywhere on the system - how can I find it? [00:26] Azhi_Dahaka_: for something more general, you want to look at the "bluemon" package. maybe you can control GDM with it [00:26] thx [00:26] You can't get the two computers to network, correct? [00:27] RomanaMentalis, did you set it up with mdadm? [00:27] no it's a hardware raid [00:27] with a raid controller [00:27] is there anyway to give a non-root user the ability to control a firewire camera? [00:27] Guest65644, nope [00:27] hello i can't compile acerhk-0.5.35 [00:27] can somebody help me [00:27] Guest65644, nope as in you are correct [00:27] RomanaMentalis, when you run sudo fdisk -l do you see any drives there, that is an L as in list [00:27] !ask [00:27] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:27] Azhi_Dahaka_: i guess you could always enable autologin and then make it so that blueproximity locks your session immediately after login, if you're not around. that's likely less safe that refusing to login, though [00:28] kthef - I see 3 drives there but none of them are the same size as my raid [00:28] what is the best desktop environment? [00:28] i go in this dir and type sudo make [00:28] RomanaMentalis, how many drives do you have in your system? [00:28] i see my main linux system drive, my extended and my swap [00:28] gnome [00:28] :) [00:28] I have 2 drives in the raid [00:28] First is connected to internet, other is connected to first? [00:28] and 1 for the main OS [00:28] spwnt: try them and see. matter of preference [00:28] !best | spwnt [00:28] spwnt: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [00:28] RomanaMentalis, not partitions, drives [00:28] I have 2 physical drives in the raid [00:28] RomanaMentalis, those you listed are partitions [00:28] thanks [00:28] and one for my os [00:28] yes [00:29] RomanaMentalis, do you see the drives in the fdisk -l ? [00:29] no === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [00:29] RomanaMentalis, so you only see 1 drive with 3 partitions? [00:29] right [00:29] RomanaMentalis, did you enable all the drives in the BIOS? [00:30] is there a way to upgrade the vncviewer on my ubuntu machine from v4.1 to a higher version? [00:30] RomanaMentalis, is this raid controller built onto your motherboard? [00:30] kthef - no I bought it seperately [00:30] and it has it's own configuration utility [00:30] and according to that it looks good [00:30] RomanaMentalis, do you configure it by hitting F2 or something at the BIOS prompt? [00:31] hi im having trouble with intrepid can someone help me [00:31] right [00:31] ctrl+m [00:31] RomanaMentalis, and you configured it as one big drive array in there? [00:31] yes [00:31] raid 1 [00:31] what are some good lightweight desktop environments? [00:31] RomanaMentalis, and did you enable the array? [00:31] masque7: xfce, fluxbox ... [00:31] inside the configuration utility? [00:31] masque7, fluxbox xfce [00:31] RomanaMentalis, yes [00:31] yes, I initialized it [00:32] masque7: enlightenment, also. and others [00:32] RomanaMentalis, what is the make/model of the card? [00:32] prince_jammys, we said the same thing at same time [00:32] kthef - LSI MegaRaid Sas/Sata 8208ELP [00:32] indeed [00:33] do people not realize how much of a pain in the ass it is when there are kernel updates? [00:33] noone knows? [00:33] or do they just do one every few days to screw with suckers who use ubuntu? [00:33] I have a sony vaio and it has an integrated microphone and webcam. The webcam works great, but the microphone does not. Not even when I plug a headset, the ubuntu is unbale to use this microphone. How can I fix this please? [00:33] I use intrepid [00:33] i don't know if fluxbox qualifies as a desktop environment, but .. [00:35] Hey [00:35] flux is a window manager [00:35] RomanaMentalis, sounds like you are missing a driver === neko_ is now known as homies [00:35] Anyone have any experience with ndiswrapper and macbook wireless drivers? [00:35] kthef: is there one for Ubuntu? [00:35] how do I change iptable policies? [00:35] hey guys. [00:35] the man page, unsurprisingly, is confusing [00:35] hey is there a prob with the new kernel update? [00:35] i'm having some problems after upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04. [00:36] I have a sony vaio and it has an integrated microphone and webcam. The webcam works great, but the microphone does not. Not even when I plug a headset, the ubuntu is unbale to use this microphone. How can I fix this please? [00:36] my computers mute, though it is set 100% volume. Looking for ideas to try here. [00:36] RomanaMentalis, you might check their website [00:36] Chain INPUT (policy DROP) ... for example, I need to be Chan INPUT (policy ACCEPT) [00:36] any ideas?.. [00:36] can anyone help me out with some problems with my display drivers? [00:36] kthef: yeah, I did, seems there isn't one? [00:36] soundless what kind of sound [00:36] join #ubuntu+1 [00:36] kthef: ok thank you for your help I just wanted to be sure I had not missed something [00:36] some sounds work, like login, but no internet sites get sound through [00:36] kthef: is there a raid card that does have drivers for Ubuntu? People seemed to recommend LSI and 3ware [00:36] Hi. I've installed mysql-server using apt, and I'm wondering how I can get mysql-server to start on system startup. How would I be able to do so? [00:37] RomanaMentalis, nope, I think that is the prob....boot off of a dos floppy and make sure you can fdisk and see the drive there, did you try a live CD? [00:37] okay so your sound card is probably only able to produce sound from 1 program at a time is my guess soundless [00:37] no didn't try live cd [00:37] thanks twizzled- any suggestions? [00:37] twizzled: can you help me? [00:37] RomanaMentalis, I haven't done much raid work, I know that some built-in raid controllers are not true HW controllers, but yours probably is. [00:38] soundless are you running a media program when trying to browse net? [00:38] erisco: iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT [00:38] ytoox problem? [00:38] No, [00:38] RomanaMentalis, a TRUE hw controller should work without a driver at all. [00:38] kthef: that's what I thought! But I can't see it :| [00:38] ok soundless so everything is shut down then ? [00:38] I have a sony vaio and it has an integrated microphone and webcam. The webcam works great, but the microphone does not. Not even when I plug a headset, the ubuntu is unbale to use this microphone. How can I fix this please? [00:38] RomanaMentalis, it may be one of the hybrid types [00:38] yes, [00:38] RomanaMentalis, half hw half sw [00:38] kthef: ok, you're probably right - thanks again I really appreciate it [00:39] hello [00:39] hmm, sound card or built in sound? what kind? [00:39] Hi. I've installed mysql-server using apt, and I'm wondering how I can get mysql-server to start on system startup. How would I be able to do so? [00:39] RomanaMentalis, I was working with a friend of mine the other day and he had a similar problem with a supposed HW raid controller. [00:39] ytoox did you google your problem? see if anyone else has problem like you [00:39] HP workstation server serves 8 clients [00:39] RomanaMentalis, np good luck. [00:39] twizzled: I did, but nothing seems clear [00:39] RomanaMentalis, you can hook them up on your system board and use mdadm for a raid [00:39] well what have you found [00:39] you can UP your WINE with free codeweavers http://down.codeweavers.com/ you get a full version of cross over [00:39] kthef: true, I might just do that [00:40] post me some links off the forums [00:40] it also come for macs [00:40] RomanaMentalis, mdadm is pretty slick, I have setup several of them [00:40] ok [00:40] and you need sound on the server soundless?

[01:25] hvgotcodes, your gateway should be first on the list [01:25] jordan_: with the rt2500pci module [01:25] LjL, ok, intalled it and I am getting many error messages now, they are still coming [01:25] how so, I'm quite new but sorta know my way with linux [01:25] in pidgins irc client, i often find wheni return after being away that the channel scroll bar hasn't kept up with the conversation. how do i change this behavior? [01:25] raevol: I'd be surprised if the module for your SATA drive was included in the installer kernel / initrd and wasn't auto detected... Have you managed to get an install working using the Desktop / GUI install CD? [01:25] kthef: cool thanx [01:25] I just need help on this so I can set this up for my family to use again [01:25] now when i use nmap it says all ports on my machine are closed: this is the ubuntu default? [01:26] angrylogic, no and windows xp cant find it either, could it be i need to jumper the drives to the slower speed? [01:26] LjL, this does not seem good [01:26] In terminal how do list files in a directory prepended with their absolute path? [01:26] so how do I set my wireless up, I use rt2500pci [01:27] raevol: Did you say it was SATA? I don't believe Windows XP shipped with any SATA drivers which would explain that... Can you see the drive in your BIOS? [01:27] triggerhapp: fdisk -l says /dev/sdb: 250.0 Gt [01:27] rfcomm.conf allows me to add devices at startup, right? [01:27] when I 'ls' a dir from command line, the files mounted under ntfs come up as highlighted green, which makes it pretty much unreadable. is there a way to turn this off? [01:27] angrylogic, let me check [01:27] where can i check the mac of the currently paired devices? [01:27] !seen LjL [01:27] louise... take a closer look on the nicklist please. [01:27] Factoid seen ljl not found [01:28] tritium: how do I go forth on setting this up properly [01:28] anyone know why the command: sudo patch -p1 < 2.6.24.patch would give me "permission denied"? [01:28] kthef did that thread make any sense to you? [01:28] LukeJM: the redirection takes place in your current shell, for your current user [01:28] azethoth, you using DVI connector? [01:28] kthef yes i am [01:29] is there anything bad about doing sudo su? [01:29] subdolus_: "ls --color=none" [01:29] subdolus, ls --color=never would do that [01:29] LukeJM: sudo bash -c 'patch ...... < 2.6' [01:29] but not permanently [01:29] azethoth, it says there might be a hw issue while using dvi, can you try it with the RGB cable? [01:29] nice. cheers fellas [01:29] ah [01:29] thanks [01:29] if i can find it i can. [01:29] louise: some of those error messages might be harmless, pastebin the output when it's finished [01:29] gve me about 5 need to run up a laod of laubdry [01:29] azethoth, wait [01:30] prince: no go... still permission denied [01:30] azethoth, you can add something to your xorg [01:30] and how could I make this permanent? djhash_, Hammerjak [01:30] angrylogic, i dont see anywhere in my bios where it would be detected [01:30] well, the easy answer would be to make it an alias [01:30] azethoth, "NoEdidDFPMaxSizeCheck" and "NoMaxPClkCheck" it says [01:30] prince: i'm trying to get my rtl8187b wireless working from the "fix" in the docs page [01:30] azethoth, might work [01:30] I'll tell you lot something : I never realised how fine an art programming was until I started looking at *every* warning and error report that linux comes up with [01:30] LjL, http://www.pastebin.ca/1239223 [01:30] xsession errors attests that the most i think :P [01:31] alias lsc='ls --color=never' [01:31] hi, I have a problem. I tried to install passenger to my ubuntu ( my laptop) first to test how it goes , before installing it to our live server. to my surprise, it removed php5 apache module. which should not be. now, I am hesitant to continue installing it on our live server. any suggestions? [01:31] raevol: usually if you go into your BIOS setup screen it will display detected drives somewhere. There is also usually a summary screen of all drives detected after the BIOS has initialized although you may have a splash screen that is hiding it. [01:31] sorry, can someone help me setup my wireless properly, I use rt2500pci [01:31] yea i don't see anything like that [01:31] louise: that's all that it says? [01:31] LjL, yeah [01:31] no idea what diver i should pick? isnt that info available somewhere [01:32] louise: then it's all harmless [01:32] LjL, thanks man. [01:32] BAH!!! had this working all day... just craps out all of a sudden [01:32] louise: i still have no clue why you might have lost udevtrigger, but [01:32] LukeJM: the sudo bash -c 'commands' approach should work, if the command would work run as root [01:33] i'm tring to isntall ubuntu server on vmware esx and it gets upto scanning mirros and stops [01:33] LukeJM: if you have doubts, get a root shell with 'sudo -i' and run the command from there, without sudo. (and go back to normal with 'exit') [01:33] ok... i'll give that a shot [01:34] I used a different fix and got it working, then just stopped on me today... [01:34] weirdness [01:34] LjL, yeah, thats weird, I will head to the ibex channel now. Thanks a lot for helping me out [01:34] hi guys ready for intrepid?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[02:12] Why an angry letter to nVidia? [02:13] nVidia works great on linux [02:13] Astral_Enigma, whats up? [02:13] triggerhapp: I have an old graphics card and rely on the nvidia-glx-96 package [02:13] In my System > Administration > Hardware Devices I see nothing in the list. How do I get the broadcom wifi driver working? [02:13] but it doesn't work with the latest version of Xorg [02:13] Ah! [02:13] I'm on one of the new macbooks, I've been googling all day with no avail.

The emails are no more... Thank you. [02:16] triggerhapp: haha, I'm up in Edinburgh freezing my arse off trying to get this thing to work for ages. [02:16] Astral_Enigma, Thought of trying neavou? (however its spelt) [02:16] Eventually, I found a mailing list message from the guy who does Envy, saying that the latest Xorg breaks 96 and the older one [02:17] And no one listened? :( [02:17] question: should i reinstall ubuntu in 2 days, or can i just update to the new version (or update the major componants) without reinstalling, [02:17] triggerhapp: The brief bit I saw on the Ubuntu Wiki said it had little to no 3D support. I have fine graphics using the "nv" driver, but it's the 3D stuff I need for gaming [02:17] anyone here? [02:17] StephenF[W]: cool. common problem. other distros link /bin/sh to /bin/bash, but ubuntu doesn't [02:18] triggerhapp: It was to the Ubuntu dev list, not to an nVidia list. Hopefully nVidia will fix the issue soon with a new set of legacy drivers. [02:18] interesting [02:18] Lets hope so Astral_Enigma, in the mean time I know my graphics card has a long way to go before the stable version sees improvment :P [02:18] StephenF[W]: so ubuntu's sh (which is 'dash', actually), doesn't accept certain bash syntax [02:19] triggerhapp: I'm considering downgrading my xorg, but I don't know how easy that would be [02:19] how can i add bullets to an email in evolution. I have googled it and see that it is possible, but i cannot find anything that mentions where to find the option [02:19] Astral_Enigma, Be a rebel like me, Stay on Hardy :D [02:20] triggerhapp: Heh, this was a new install of intrepid because I rebuilt my desktop machine from scratch when I got my new HD [02:20] So I'd have to do a distro downgrade, which could be fun. [02:20] Astral_Enigma, seperate home partition, then you will never need to work for a clean upgrade again ;) [02:21] This machine has been Debian 3 times, Ubuntu Hardy 2 times and intrepid once :P [02:21] and to give you an idea how new the machine is, its an eeepc 1000h :P [02:21] haha, nice. I was on Hardy before my disk died. Decided to try intrepid when I rebuilt it. [02:21] Won't be doing that again in a hurry :( [02:22] what is the command to list all users? [02:22] /who [02:22] /lusers [02:22] I think he means CLI, marshtomp :P [02:22] ? [02:22] in ubuntu [02:22] lol [02:22] 'ls /home' doesn't do it for you? [02:22] ls /home [02:23] how can i add bullets to an email in evolution. I have googled it and see that it is possible, but i cannot find anything that mentions where to find the option [02:23] it would if i had set it up that way :\ [02:23] !patience | hellhound [02:23] hellhound: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[02:54] does anyone here know what to do if the sudo password is forgotten [02:54] mxweas: the command "lspci | grep Broadcom" may help you determine what chipset revision you have [02:54] thanks [02:55] Blaidd: You may want to try asking in #lirc [02:55] marshtomp: "sudo -i" will let you get a root shell using your password [02:55] heh [02:55] marshtomp: its your user password [02:55] histo: thanks [02:55] does anyone know what to do if you FORGET your root password [02:55] marshtomp: From there, you can use "passwd" to change to root password [02:55] Can i get some experienced opinions on ubuntu Server Edition? [02:55] marshtomp: you don't have a root password by default [02:55] marshtomp: its YOUR user password. Did you forget that? [02:55] marshtomp: What I said, "sudo -i", which allows you to use your password [02:55] histo: it's not [02:55] mrpockets: try #ubuntu-server [02:56] marshtomp: if so how are you logging in to the system? [02:56] damn, you guys have a chan for *everything* [02:56] what if the passwords are the same and they were both forgotten [02:56] marshtomp: then boot to a recovery shell and fix it. [02:56] marshtomp: did you ever set a root password? [02:56] yes [02:56] marshtomp: why...? [02:57] marshtomp: But you know your user password, right?

[02:57] marshtomp: "root security" has no meaning. There's no reason to set a root password. Anyway, just do as histo says to reset your user's password [02:57] no, increased it. he can't log in! [02:57] mxweas: no [02:58] ? [02:58] what's the point of root without a root password? [02:58] anyone can then access root! [02:58] nope [02:58] !sudo | marshtomp [02:58] marshtomp: 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) [02:58] marshtomp: no [02:58] no root password means no one can access it [02:58] marshtomp: ubuntu uses sudo you need to read about it. [02:58] others can use it's privs but not the account [02:58] marshtomp: the root account is disabled by default [02:58] I'm getting a segfault on a new install of hardy when I try to install any package... it also happens with dpkg --configure -a (it seg's on openssh-server) [02:58] but then anyone can access sudo! [02:58] marshtomp: no, only sudoers [02:58] marshtomp: no only priveleged users [02:59] marshtomp: its more secure. [02:59] well not really just makes it so you don't bork your system. like you have.

[04:33] aiyach........... [04:33] Hi everyone. I'm trying to change the font used in a document (I'm using LyX). I've read the documentation, their wiki and googled about it. It says that the menu should have a "list of fonts available on your system". However, almost no fonts appear on that menu and I'm sure I have more [04:33] in another words, a volar con el español ^^ [04:33] grrrraggain: yes [04:34] I am looking for something to replace my ipod . All what I see tell of the spec ,but nothing about how use them under Linux. Program and so on. Do any of you know of any video portable player that work well under linux. [04:34] how do i launch displayconfig-gtk with admin rights? [04:34] guys, i have a relative newb question.. the way i understand it, all of my application data is in /home/username.. so if i back up /home and do a clean reinstall of hardy, bring /home back and reinstall the apps, they should automatically link to that app data? [04:35] FiReSTaRT: yes, you misundersatnd what happens with that app data when you say the word "link" the data doesn't link, what happens is when you run an application, it looks in that directory for data and reads that data and interprets it accordingly [04:36] that happens everytime the app is run, there is no linking [04:36] that's what i meant.. thanks bruenig [04:36] hmm i dont remember setting a root pw during install am i missing something? [04:36] grrrraggain: there is no root password on ubuntu by default, if you wish to set one do: sudo passwd, type your user password, then your desired root password twice [04:36] Jordan_U, i don't get what you mean, right click on a folder and go to properties. and it's only certain folders in places - like "computer" opens thunar, but "Desktop" and "home" open vlc.

[04:38] kiyiko: flash is a garbage proprietary application, could be many things [04:38] how to change display setting on ubuntu... i use LiveCD & pc that displaying low-resolution-vga, so the gui looks BIGy [04:38] FiReSTaRT: you are, yes [04:38] arrrghhh: right click on any directory in nautilus, go to properties -> Open With and instead of vlc, choose "Open Folder" [04:39] bruenig: but the odd thig is, it happened when i updated to firefox 3, and now it works in no browser. [04:39] thanks bruenig.. in that case i'll have a few hours of fun fun fun tomorrow :) [04:39] kiyiko: try reinstalling it? [04:40] i have reinstalled anything tat i think could be the matter. [04:40] Jordan_U, maybe you're not understanding. the file manager is working fine, but from the "places" menu certain items (the ones at the top...) are not working. they try to open with vlc. [04:40] !info firefox [04:40] firefox (source: firefox-3.0): meta package for the popular mozilla web browser. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 (hardy), package size 64 kB, installed size 120 kB [04:40] bruenig: lo no wireless extensions and eth0 no wireless extensions [04:40] meta package? [04:40] has anyone attempted to run world of warcraft on ubuntu? [04:40] why is firefox a meta package? [04:40] mxweas_: do ifconfig [04:40] k [04:40] arrrghhh: I know, and following those steps will fix the problem [04:40] shows eth0 and lo [04:40] and a bunch of info about them [04:41] Hi everyone! I use the Gnome desktop environment, but run some KDE apps. Unfortunately, they all look weird and are themed differently because (I assume) they use Qt. I vaguely remember there being something I could install to make KDE apps look like Gnome apps. Anyone know what I'm talking about? [04:41] mxweas_: your driver is not working then, either that or you have your card switched off via some hardware switch [04:41] there are no hw switches on my card [04:41] any idea how to check the driver? [04:41] justin_: I got it working a while ago with the help of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [04:41] I'm pretty sure I did it right, but iono [04:41] hi, i am using hardy, but since i had some troubles with xmms2 i downloaded xmms2 Intrepid packages from http://packages.ubuntu.com it didn't run so i uninstalled xmms2 Intrepid and installed xmms2 Hardy. Everything is ok with xmms2 now, but now i can't run realplayer === appserver__ is now known as app_server [04:41] oh, and whenever i maximize firefox, it takes up the whole screen, including covering panels, and such...any idea? [04:41] mxweas_: modprobe it to make sure it is running, if no device other than lo or eth0 show up, it is not working [04:42] how do I mod probe it? [04:42] rww: Thank you, i will attempt it on a dual boot with my desktop [04:42] like modprobe wl ? [04:42] after all that, i'm having this error: "error while loading shared libraries: libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [04:42] mxweas_: sudo modprobe "name-of-driver" whatever the name of that module was [04:42] k [04:42] no title bar for directory windows....with firefox and media player its fine... [04:42] Jordan_U, i honestly tried your steps. the (many) file managers i have installed are all working. but when i go thru the "places" menu, certain items (the top ones) open with vlc... [04:42] /join #ubuntu-offtopic [04:43] bruenig: how do I know if I got the driver name correct? [04:43] arrrghhh: I don't know how directories are being set to open in vlc but it's happened to others, the file browser understands that directories are directories and thus doesn't try to "Open With" anything but itself, the menu is not so smart. [04:43] morning all [04:43] mxweas_: should have just gone to the next line [04:43] mxweas_: if it succeeded that is [04:43] bruenig: if i remember correctly it's because, for a while, there were packages for both firefox 2 and firefox 3 in the repos, and the firefox package was introduced to point to the ubuntu recommended version [04:43] Jordan_U, well, is there a settings folder i can blast out or something? i just need this places menu fixed. [04:43] arrrghhh: It's not that they won't open correctly in nautilus but that nautilus is the way to get to the setting to fix it [04:44] mxweas_: lsmod | grep b43 [04:44] can anyone tell me, is it possible to log int remotely from an unbuntu workstation to an ubuntu server with an RDP like session? [04:44] !vnc | Xpistos [04:44] Xpistos: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [04:44] rww: that is super obnoxious [04:44] bruenig: I tried modprobe wl and modprobe b43 and both just went to the next line [04:44] . [04:44] Jordan_U, i did what you suggested, but it didn't change any behavior in the places menu... [04:44] now what? [04:44] mxweas_: ifconfig [04:44] as far as installing .tar files do i open with archive manager? or do i save file to desktop? [04:44] bruenig: same as it was [04:44] no title bar for directory windows....with firefox and media player its fine... how do i fix it? [04:45] mxweas_: lsmod | grep b43 [04:45] Why is there the Linux kernel documentation in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/ as well as in /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/ ? [04:45] mxweas_: failure then, get another driver [04:45] Thanks rww I will give it a shot [04:45] mxweas_: is it loaded ? b43 [04:45] something unbeliably screwey is going on wth my system [04:45] anyone know anything about sysfs attributes? [04:45] e-frame: lsmod | grep b43 returns a few lines [04:46] what's your wireless card detail? lspci [04:46] mxweas_: what's your wireless card detail? lspci [04:46] somehow some part of my grub got stuck onto ex windows IDe drive instead of it's proper partition on my sda1 drivde [04:46] Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless [04:46] so whe i was booting i was getting a grub error 15 [04:46] !pastebin mxweas_ [04:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:46] !pastebin | mxweas_ [04:46] mxweas_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[04:47] but if i chose the hda1 for boot i got runnin [04:47] I'll type it exactly as I see it [04:47] anyone know how tihs would happenband how do i fix it [04:47] arrrghhh: Unfortunately it's probably a gconf key somewhere and I don't know where, you could blast ( or temporarily move ) all of ~/.gconf but that will loose all gnome settings [04:47] 04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless [04:47] got a problem with my ubuntu as a guest on vmware esx. If i try and do a apt-get install, it some times locks up the os and i have to reboot it but if i transfer 10gb data accross the network to it, it doesn't lockup? [04:47] Jordan_U, i'll rename it and see. i don't mind losing some settings in the name of fixing that damned places menu! thanks. [04:47] arrrghhh: np [04:48] mxweas_: what distro release do u use ?

[04:50] Anyone know how I can make Qt applications be themed the same way as Gnome applications? I vaguely remember there being a package that could do it, but I can't find it :( [04:50] !wireless | mxweas_ [04:50] mxweas_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:50] Jordan_U, well i hate to bug ya. i definitely have the "stock" settings now! but places menu still opens in vlc. but only the folders on the top! i don't get it. [04:50] e-frame: I've looked over that numerous times... [04:51] mxweas_: "ifconfig -a" is it detected? [04:51] no [04:52] it just shows eth0 and lo [04:52] arrrghhh: Have you tried logging out then back in again just in case gnome-settings-daemon is remembering it? === ozzloy is now known as lbc [04:52] mxweas_: take a look http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=896713 [04:52] Jordan_U, that's what i just did when i left. === lbc is now known as ozzloy [04:53] mxweas_: i use b43fwcutter with wl_apsta.o [04:53] btw mine is bcm4311 [04:54] Hi All...Im trying to install samba and everytime I try to compile by running the script autogen.sh I get the error: " need autoconf 2.53 or later to build samba from SVN".

It take 20 minutes to complete! [05:03] diese1: intrepid has version 3.1 under the package name "vuze", which is less old. Bear in mind that the current version (4.0) only came out a few weeks ago, so it won't make it to the stable repos for a little while.

[05:07] has anybody been able to play sa:mp on ubuntu [05:08] outbackwifi: i dont [05:08] pronoy: if you dont plan on using them as well, just apt-get remove them [05:08] Thanks a million, rww [05:08] supertanker: you're welcome :) [05:08] has anybody been able to get san andreas running on ubuntu?

[05:33] Miesco: vlc === Guest79627 is now known as yupjustme [05:33] outbackwifi, the WiFi is fine. we have fine transfers to other servers on the internal network. it's just this Samba server that's giving us problems [05:34] jeeves_Moss: id rather use ssh/scp/sftp/sshfs as its is available across OSs and is faster [05:34] outbackwifi, lol, samba was the lowest common. [05:34] outbackwifi, not to mention that my windows users are dumb [05:35] why can't i monitor my hdd and vga card temperature with sensors-detect ? [05:35] hello [05:35] !hi | klp [05:35] klp: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:35] outbackwifi: What about when vlc doesnt support the sound for it? mplayer plays it with sound, vlc doesn [05:35] bingungaja: one reason could be that they dont have sensors for this? [05:36] Miesco: without specifics, i cant think of a response [05:36] outbackwifi : sorry what do u mean, in indonesian forum, others can detect their vga and hdd, but mine only "cpu, core0 and core1" [05:37] (1) is it possible to the skin the login page of cmsms for my clients and (2) is is possible to modify the links that show up on the left hand side once they log in (under help)? [05:37] outbackwifi: Its a 3g2 file [05:37] bingungaja: do they have the same HDD and VGA card that you do? [05:38] can ubuntu be as low as posible ...like 50mb ubuntu and runs on Flashdisk? [05:38] hi all this is ashmeet I want to know how to configure a wifi driver on ubuntu [05:38] Miesco: hmm cant help you with that [05:38] imagine Live Flashh [05:38] Fisia: at 50mb you are thinking of DSL (damn small linux); ive got ubuntu on a 2G flash disk [05:38] outbackwifi : oh u mean, in sensors-detect, do not support my HDD and VGA card , ic ic [05:38] and Ubuntu from scratch [05:39] :) [05:39] Puppy Linux and DSL are both very handy/small disrtos :) [05:39] klp: you might want to join the CMSMS irc channel at #cms (same server as this one) and ask them :) [05:39] Ubuntu live cd on flash drive - needs i think 1gb at least.

[05:40] it works differently on a external hdd [05:40] than a flash drive [05:40] loafers, 8.10 also has a too to generate a usb/live cd - with a persistant storage space.

[05:44] why linux / ubuntu does not HAVE aList/Map like a list like the one that u see on 1st page of the book, BIG BOOK. :) [05:44] loafers: it means someone put your name at the start of a message. not a /msg, just a normal in-chat message [05:44] hello i got a very weird thing going on with my grub involving a grub error 15 anyone think they can help me fix it? [05:44] o ok [05:45] Ubuntu is an ancient African word with a dual meaning it roughly translates into "Slackware is too hard for me" and "I can't configure Debian" [05:46] yowshi: we'll all give it a try [05:46] besides the upgrade process and bandwidth, etc, would an upgradefrom 8.04 to 8.10 be any different from installing 8.10 when it comes out? [05:46] SupremeNerd, and here i thought it ment "My Ego isent big enough for Debian" [05:46] good afternoon [05:46] i think that would be nice if we the beginner know the MAP, whats ubuntu contain off, and where is he now on bash terminal [05:46] SupremeNerd is a modern-day English word meaning "I troll #ubuntu IRC" and "I'm jealous because my distro takes longer to install than Ubuntu." ;-) [05:46] newbie here [05:46] slackware, gentoo are for those that viagra doesnt work for [05:46] and for chatroom/forum braggin purposes [05:47] rww: actually Slackware's installer is faster than Ubuntus [05:47] can anyone help me with my hardware problem in ubuntu? (sigmatel soundcard) [05:47] UBUNTU is DAMN Fast !! [05:47] guys take this to #ubuntu-offtopic please [05:47] rww: that is if one knows what one is doing [05:47] gentoo is an amazing distro, but still its for beginners [05:47] cool. i dont know what exactly is up but for some reason it isnt booting off the partition it'sx supposed to be booting off. when i try to force it to it gets a grub error 15. when i force it to boot off my hda1 instead of sda1 it boots [05:47] at least ive try on live CD [05:47] outbackwifi: [05:47] Hello, I just installed Sun's JRE and I've got this little script that I have to use for work and it's got a volume scroll in it.. but when I run it I get an error that says.. "Sorry, Speaker Volume control is not possible from Java in your system..." [05:47] so guys, is there any real difference from upgrading a stock install of hardy to intrepid, then doing a clean install of intrepid when in comes out [05:48] Fisia: ubuntu is faster when fully installed :) [05:48] yowshi: are you getting this error after a fresh install? [05:48] Any ideas?? [05:48] My 2 Upgrades to Intrepid.. did not go well.... [05:48] woho... [05:48] outbackwifi: umm no this is an old install of 8.04 [05:48] yowshi: what did you do before this started? [05:48] outbackwifi: worked for months and now getting this strange error [05:48] xfc here [05:48] CROSSWINDS: theoretically, no. In practice, you might end up with random cruft or have problems. If you have a choice of either, do a clean install. If you're considering installing Ubuntu for the first time, wait until the 30th and grab 8.10 :) [05:49] from my understanding Crosswinds its best to do a re-install with 8.10 [05:49] outbackwifi: i dont think i did anything to cause this. [05:49] ok..shouldve left wellenough alone [05:49] i had a great working 8.04 [05:49] i'm running hardy right now and updated and configured it the way i want, though Im tempted to upgrade gnome [05:49] i figured since it was working so well and i tweakedthe hell out of it [05:49] it would update well.. darn was i wrong.. [05:50] yowshi: everything will have a reason.. [05:50] i'd make a back up, and try the upgrade [05:50] i did [05:50] if it works, it works, if not u have your data [05:50] outbackwifi: i've not been messing with my grub or anything. rebooted a few times today to OC my comp a little and it worked fine until the last OC atempt when it suddenly wouldnt boot off sda1 anymore [05:50] i finally completed installing everything on the laptop. i have that common dual boot problem with time. linux is 2 hours ahead of windows again. i have done the UTC=no change in /etc/default/rcS. any suggestions? do i miss something like a daemon? [05:51] SaberZ: That reminds me... *wanders off to do the theoretically-weekly backup* [05:51] yowshi: is OC--> overclock? [05:51] outbackwifi: yeah [05:51] yowshi: does it boot fine when you bring it down to standard freq? [05:52] outbackwifi: no i tried brining it back down that didnt fix the issue. [05:52] jim_p: ntpdate should keep your system uptodate === e-frame is now known as Guest85879 [05:53] yowshi: do you have the livecd with you? if yes, boot off it and do a grub-install on your boot partition === e-frame1 is now known as someone-else === someone-else is now known as e-frame1 [05:53] outbackwifi: i was thinking that actually. i just finished downloading a new livecd since i lost mine also it was an old version of ubuntu anyway [05:54] outbackwifi: well, yea i can let it sync time with some online server. the problem is how will i sync time between 2 oses. btw... is there any chance something like regional settings is involved there? or the timezone? [05:54] jim_p: what do you mean by syncing between the two oses? if both of them sync against the same time server, they would be in sync IMHO [05:54] Hi, I need help setting up a raid 5 on 3 500GB drives. And then installing 7.10. [05:54] hey all, my mice freeze somehow because of my graphics card..it's debilitating and i'm rebooting every ten minutes, PLEASE check this thread out [05:55] outbackwifi: i'll try that tommorow though. a grub change out is kind of involved and it's 2 am here. to late/early to be doing something that involved [05:55] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=959982 [05:55] outbackwifi: can i make a real life example? [05:55] jim_p: sure [05:55] outbackwifi: while i have your atention thugh any online manuals or guides for a grub instal/? [05:56] yowshi: sure there are a lot of them, let me link you to one of them [05:56] * outbackwifi googles [05:56] outbackwifi: thanks [05:56] Grub Homepage - has some very good docs.

[06:03] outbackwifi: I do respect the rules of volunteers, I was simply asking if I was in the wrong place.. I love the whole Ubuntu community and would never ask for more then they have allready given me. [06:04] if you type "sudo parted -l" it says invalid option -l and brings up the parted command prompt [06:04] WStraus: tx for that; you could try asking in the java channels too [06:04] jim_p: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Multiple%20Boot%20Systems%20Time%20Conflicts [06:04] strAlan: huh. it gives me basically the same info as fdisk -l.

[06:05] jim_p: i havent personally experienced this tho i have xp+ubuntu on a laptop; so cant think of a solution [06:05] rww, no, you're confusing parted w/ fdsik - fdisk displays immediate output, parted is a new prompt [06:05] jim_p: but im curious about the writing to bios part; why does it do that? [06:05] outbackwifi: but still no luv the sudo did not work [06:05] outbackwifi: because it updates the hardware clock.

[06:14] no i dont want to partition it its already partitioned, i justr want to mount it and i need its correct name [06:14] It seems to just happen at random times - once when I was reading a manual in the terminal, once when I was typing in openoffice word [06:14] jim_p: can you make windows also use UTC as outlined in that link? [06:15] chameleon: can you pastebin your sudo fdisk -l ? [06:15] im not understanding you [06:15] i did run fdisk and it didnt tell me what i need to know [06:15] Ishnu-: thats your X server crashing and restarting (in the interim you see the boot screen) [06:16] And how can I fix that? [06:16] outbackwifi: well i dont want them to use something "external" to sync themselves, like ntp. i want them to use sync themselves FROM bios like the desktop pc does [06:16] chameleon: paste the output of sudo fdisk -l in a place called paste.ubuntu.com; i will take a look at it and try to help you [06:17] !pastebin | chameleon [06:17] chameleon: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:17] it cant be this hard, there must be command that lists what drives are connected and there drive names [06:17] jim_p: that is like the chicken and egg story; you have the OSs updating the bios clock and also want to sync them from it; [06:17] Ishnu-: You need to find out what is causing the X server to crash, a common culprit is compiz. Try looking in your cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:17] linux cant be that tupid [06:17] ok [06:17] linux cant be that stupid [06:17] chameleon: its us who are; its just an OS [06:17] When I press the up arrow in bash instead of getting the previous command, i get "^[[A [06:17] chameleon: sudo fdisk -l, sudo blkid [06:18] sekyourbox: You are probably not using bash but rather dash ( sh != bash ) [06:18] What should I look for in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [06:18] yeah i think fisk -l should give what he want tho [06:18] flannel : what will the secind command do [06:18] chameleon: list all the UUIDs [06:19] Ishnu-: Lines starting with "EE" in them I believe but I am not sure [06:19] Jordan_U, hwo do i get out of dash and back to bash? [06:19] lets start again [06:19] chameleon: you are making it very difficult for us to help you; can you just paste the output of sudo fdisk -l ? [06:19] sekyourbox: Run "bash" [06:19] i have a second hard drive already partitioned and i want to mount it [06:19] its a sata drive [06:19] hi, will ubuntu work fine on a P3 machine? [06:19] outbackwifi: well i dont mind them not to use ntp! i DO mind if they mess bios. and in this case, its linux fault [06:19] Jordan_U: Ok, I will try that [06:19] i want to mount it to /mnt/temp which is a dir i created [06:20] or is there some way i can optimize/change the installation so that it works on a P3? [06:20] chameleon: it's sdb and its partitions are sdbX where X is 1,2,3,...etc [06:20] jeezyme: Depends on how much RAM it has, you might want to go with Xubuntu which is lighter [06:20] jeezyme: by P3, do you mean Pentium 3? [06:20] Jordan_U, thanks, why isnt it bash by default? because I'm not using the main user acct? [06:20] Jordan_U: There are no lines starting with EE - there are lots of II's, and a few WW's [06:20] yeah! [06:20] chameleon: just past the output of fdisk -l in the pastebin and we will c wat actually happen [06:21] * outbackwifi wonders why its so difficult to convince people to follow instructions; they seem too intent on doing what they think is right [06:21] sekyourbox: Bash should be the default login shell, it's just not what you get when you run "sh" === maek is now known as Guest8860 [06:22] yo outbackwifi ! I got ubuntu to boot properly at last [06:22] darkbishop the server is not connected to the net at this stage [06:22] Jordan_U, right-click > open terminal on my other user acct puts me in bash [06:22] is there any way to install xubuntu from an existing ubuntu installation?

[06:24] outbackwifi, the installer is really iffy when it comes to lvm on raid i think [06:25] freetown: i guess so too [06:25] Ishnu-: it will install the xfce environment and all the xubuntu apps [06:25] And then will that replace my normal Ubuntu? [06:25] Jordan_U, the one that starts in bash was setup using the initial setup utility for ubuntu [06:26] Ishnu-: no, it will be with your normal ubuntu. You will have to remove the gnome ubuntu to just use xubuntu [06:26] Ishnu-: You will get all of the applications which come with Xubuntu ( it will not remove any of your current apps ) you can choose to login to XFCE or Gnome but all of your applications will show up ( and be usable ) in the menus for both [06:26] Ishnu-: no, it will give you one more window manager in the sessions list [06:26] Ok cool! [06:26] sekyourbox: And the one that starts in dash ? [06:26] zidogay : not source code, the application file (sorry not familiar with linux, for example in windows, winamp application is placed in folder my computer/system/ and so on and so on) [06:26] Sounds like fun! [06:26] What about Edubuntu? [06:26] Can you do the same? [06:26] Jordan_U, no bash [06:26] edubuntu-desktop? [06:27] Ishnu-: Yes [06:27] Mad. [06:27] Jordan_U, the one im in now starts with sh $ [06:27] say outbackwifi have you tried a multiseat setup? [06:27] jordan_u : what do u mean [06:27] freetown: cant say i have. [06:28] bingungaja: If you open a terminal and run "which " it will print the full path to [06:28] jordan-U : ok ok, i notice, thx a lot [06:28] !timezone [06:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about timezone [06:28] freetown: do you mean like kickstart? [06:28] sekyourbox: I mean how did you create it? [06:28] bingungaja: that can be different for every program, you can see where it installs all the files by doing dpkg -L [06:28] outbackwifi, okay. i just remembered that this is Linux and not Windows and you should be able to get two - four persons using the thing at the same time with their own sessions [06:28] ziroday : problem solved, thx alot :) [06:28] freetown: cheers [06:28] I have an intel graphics chip on a dell xps m1330, is cube rotation/compiz impossible on that? [06:28] Jordan_U, using adduser command [06:29] doc|home: it is possible [06:29] ok, thanks [06:29] i love UBUNTU! [06:30] does anyone know what each column represents when typing "ps ax" [06:30] XFMedia complains that my audio device is unavaliable, and so do my other media players, when I run Flash in a web brwoser with sound [06:30] Any ideas? [06:31] djhash, i think 'man ps' may tell you taht. [06:31] djhash: ps ax | less [06:31] djhash: then read the top row, where they're labelled [06:31] djhash, PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND [06:31] ignore that [06:31] :) [06:31] unless you are asking what PID/Stat/ and so forthmean [06:31] yeah.. i just realised i didnt get the headings when i piped to grep.. DUH!!! [06:32] djhash, im still not 100% on all the info in the Stat colum. :) [06:33] ...dash is also the default /bin/sh in Ubuntu, but with my first user acct bash was always der [06:33] stat is least of my worries.. i'm trying to trouble shoot why when a certain script is run in the terminal.. behaves differently when run by a program.. [06:33] LOPLOL\\ [06:34] clear === Guest51418 is now known as Oric [06:34] djhash, be sure its getting ran by bash/using bash instead of sh for starters. Seen that issue befor. [06:34] Does anyone know how to enable the right-click open in terminal without doing sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-termina [06:34] sekyourbox: Whats wrong with nautilus-open-terminal? [06:35] I have 2 users. I have postfix all setup, fine and working. I want to read user2's email in my evolution/thunderbird. I can do a su user2 and run mutt, but I want to read it along with other emails within my desktop application. There are many emails in user2's Maildir and mutt shows them. I have created a new account in evolution, set its email to user2@localhost and changed permissiom to a+rwx on /home/user2/Maildir. But I can't read [06:35] flannel, I dont think thats what I did with my other user acct. but i guess ill install it anyway. [06:35] has anyone used the minimal cd to install to an sata drive? [06:36] sekyourbox: Once you install it, it'll be available for all users [06:36] holy mother of George! They are offering crossover for free just today!!!! omg omg [06:36] djhash: Please take it elsewhere. [06:36] er, dan94827 [06:36] ? [06:36] can anyone help with getting dual head display working... i have dual ati cards (not trying to use crossfire) [06:36] dan94827: this channel is for support, not chatting. Try #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting. [06:37] oops sorry [06:37] :) [06:37] can anyone help me install to an sata drive from the minimal cd: i need to know which driver to pick while installing [06:37] raevol: sata drives are common these days and well supported; are you running into any installation issues? === user7 is now known as eicel [06:38] outbackwifi, its not detecting my sata drive [06:38] raevol: what is your configuration? [06:38] so everyone here gets $, when they right-click > open terminal? [06:38] outbackwifi k8t800 motherboard with a seagate sata drive [06:38] on gnome yes [06:39] anyone played with the finger scaner on a lenovo 3000? [06:39] hello, I'd like to undelete a file with no extension, how can i do this? [06:39] Hi, I've got a problem with my sound. Everytime I start some web sound (flash or something) I loose normal sound in my system, that I can't play music from the hard disk. What can I do to solve this? [06:39] raevol, I used to have that same problem with a K8T800 chipset board i had [06:39] what should i use to c if there is any wireless network avalible around me? [06:39] i just had to switch SATA mode to raid [06:39] it was undetectable otherwise [06:40] paranoid_ndroid: rm /path/to/file [06:40] ieldib i have the option for SATA Raid ROM enabled, should i disable it? [06:40] paranoid_ndroid: oh, undelete? did you rm it? or put it in the trash? [06:40] darkbishop: network manager shows all available networks (on CLI use sudo iwlist iface-name scanning) [06:40] cwillu [06:40] ^^ [06:40] that was weird [06:40] how can I make nautilus unmount a fuse virtual fs I created? I can umount it manually with fusermount -u mnt, but nautilus complains I'm not root, and the mount point isn't in fstab. I'd like nautilus to handle this mount similarly to how it handles removable media [06:40] outbackwifi, i never had that option [06:40] try disabling it [06:41] Flannel, I've deleted the .trash folder [06:41] paranoid_ndroid: with rm? [06:41] I need to recover the file [06:41] * cwillu pokes Oric with a stick [06:41] outbackwifi: thxxx tats work [06:41] with nautilus [06:41] darkbishop: tw [06:41] !undelete | paranoid_ndroid [06:41] paranoid_ndroid: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [06:41] philsf, i was thinking the fuse tools/docs discussed this.. some sort of group/permissions to allow users to unmount all fuse type mounts. [06:41] Good Morning! Can someone give me an hint which server forgets the dirlock? for 8.10 ? :) [06:42] stahlstift: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks [06:42] it's on a fat32 partition [06:42] paranoid_ndroid: your ubuntu trash is on a fat32 partition? [06:42] Hi, I've got a problem with my sound. Everytime I start some web sound (flash or something) I loose normal sound in my system, that I can't play music from the hard disk. What can I do to solve this? [06:42] I've deleted the files from a fat32 part. [06:42] ieldib ah well that boot was different, maybe that worked [06:43] with nautilus [06:43] then deleted the .trash folder created on that partition [06:43] natalisushka: do you want sounds coming from both the web app and music? [06:43] exit [06:43] outbackwifi, that would be sweet [06:43] raevol... hopefully so I never had issues with any hardware on a old K8T800 board i had [06:43] quit [06:43] or any via board for that matter [06:43] dr_willis: I was thinking I needed to do something with nautilus itself, since the fuse part is solved, am I missing somehting? [06:43] ieldib i cant get winxp to install, but screw it [06:44] philsf, no idea ont hat - i perfer to use rox-filer. :) i tend to mount/unmount fuse things from terminal/scripts [06:44] I am still shocked that my relatively new 790GX motherboard works out of the box [06:44] natalisushka: cant think of a way to do that unless threaded through a sound server like esd [06:44] all i needed to do was enable restricted drivers [06:44] ieldib what manufacturer? [06:44] yeah screw Windows/XP or not [06:44] Gigabyte [06:44] outbackwifi, what is esd? [06:44] huh cool [06:44] !esd | natalisushka [06:44] natalisushka: esd is the enlightened sound deamon. It's deprecated, use !alsa instead [06:44] even the HDMI port works [06:44] as well as the optical audio [06:44] wow nice [06:44] yeah [06:45] outbackwifi, it's deprectated, and I do use alsa :) [06:45] hi all... is anyone using the DUST theme? [06:45] ATi drivers seem to have improved significantly [06:45] hehe woot for open source [06:45] natalisushka: sure but thats what you're already using (or pulseaudio) [06:45] yeah... i am using the fglrx drivers (from AMD/ATi) lol so that is the only aspect that isn't [06:45] paranoid_ndroid: if ubuntu has fsck.vfat (not on an ubuntu system right now, so I can't check), try sudo fsck.vfat -vru /path/to/deleted/file /place/to/put/file [06:45] yeah i am using dust [06:45] how do i install openoffice3? [06:45] i see [06:45] it's been a rock solid board too... i'd recommend this board to anyone build a linux workstation [06:46] I hate ATI's little startup thingy. And nvidias for that matter [06:46] dakbishop it should already be installed by default [06:46] you can install it via add/remove programs [06:46] sekyourbox, I don't get that splash screen [06:46] paolo_c: i ran the Dust_compiz_settings.sh script... but i dont like the non transparent effect ... how do i revert the effect? [06:46] * outbackwifi not oo3 surely [06:46] outbackwifi, I have pulseaudio and alsa installed [06:46] huh...ooo3 is not installed by default in 8.04 [06:46] it's still not detecting it.... [06:46] ahh nvm sorry overread your question [06:46] if your are talking about the nvidia splash i think you can disable that in the nvidia-settings [06:47] darkbishop: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [06:47] darkbishop: what version of ubuntu? [06:47] lol [06:47] jordan_u: 8.04 [06:47] tombuntu knows [06:47] wait a sec [06:47] natalisushka: check out documentation here --> http://www.pulseaudio.org/ it will let you mix sound [06:48] and the openoffice is 2.4 currenty... already run apt-get update and upgrade [06:48] darkbishop: That's correct. No Ubuntu currently has OOo3. It'll likely be in backports for Intrepid and maybe Hardy once Jaunty opens. [06:48] natalisushka: try uninstalling pulseaudio. this is a major known bug [06:48] darkbishop: 3.0 isn't available in intrepid or hardy yet. You could try the unofficial instructions at http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/14/install-openofficeorg-30-in-ubuntu-804-and-810/ maybe [06:48] darkbishop: There are, however, PPAs for it right now. [06:48] darkbishop here :http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/14/install-openofficeorg-30-in-ubuntu-804-and-810/ [06:49] rww_, it gave me this [06:49] paolo_c: i ran the Dust_compiz_settings.sh script... but i dont like the non transparent effect ... how do i revert the effect? [06:49] dosfsck 2.11 (12 Mar 2005) [06:49] dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN [06:49] open /home/ze:Is a directory === BOG is now known as Guest51047 [06:49] natalisushka: actually, bfore removing pulseaudio, try upgrading flash to v10, it's now available in ubuntu's repositories [06:49] paranoid_ndroid: pastebin please [06:49] thx eveyone.... lemme try it 1st [06:49] /home/ze was the place to put the file === michael is now known as mo44 [06:50] hi all... is anyone using the DUST theme? i ran the Dust_compiz_settings.sh script... but i dont like the non transparent effect ... how do i revert the effect? === mo44 is now known as mo4 [06:50] paranoid_ndroid: try being specific, e.g. telling it /home/ze/filename.ext rather than /home/ze/ [06:50] philsf, After removing pulseaudio, what shall i do? [06:50] the file has no extension...that's why I can't use foremost, neither carver, neither photorec, etc [06:50] hey how can I change the owner of a directory recursively? [06:50] chown -R myuser thedir/ ? [06:51] if I have windows computers on the same network as my ubuntu, how do I see them across the network? they arent showing up. and if they arent showing up, is it possible for me to access them anyways? [06:51] ieldib, any other ideas? still not working [06:51] philsf, Are you talking about flashplugin-nonfree ?? [06:51] rww_ it gives me the same output, only saying there is no such file in destination [06:51] you can see the samba share with samba [06:51] justin_: Places > Network [06:51] ..sorry window shares [06:52] how do i change window border color in gnome? [06:52] !samba | justin_ [06:52] justin_: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [06:52] Jordan_U: Yes, and in there you can open windows networks. However they arent showing up, so my question was can i connect to them if they dont show up. or better yet, if they dont want to be seen? [06:53] justin_: do you mean like firewall protected? [06:53] yes [06:53] outbackwifi: yes [06:54] justin_: now that would not be legal and ethical would it? if i dont want you to see my shares, i would expect you to respect that [06:54] on my home network im behind a firewall, and so if my fathers computer [06:54] paranoid_ndroid: sorry, it appears I misread the man page. Looks like it's just fsck.vfat -vru /path/to/deleted/file. I assume that the file ends up where it was originally or maybe in the current directory [06:54] paranoid_ndroid: I have to go, though, so examine man fsck.vfat if that doesn't work [06:54] hi all... is anyone using the DUST theme? i ran the Dust_compiz_settings.sh script... but i dont like the non transparent effect ... how do i revert the effect? [06:54] outbackwifi: depends on how you look at it. if I was trying to harm my dads computer then yes, rather than just connect to it [06:55] thanks rww_! [06:55] paranoid_ndroid: you're welcome! hope you get it figured out :) [06:56] how do i format my drives for a raid 5 on 7.10 because all the tutorials online is just crap? [06:56] justin_: the solution to that is to explicitly allow sharing in your father's computer, which would presumably create exceptions in his firewall and let you connect [06:56] hey anyone have a problem listening to the audio on youtube videos? I can see the video but the audio is not working i had this problem before im using a logitech usb 250 [06:56] so its not actually a operating system problem, yet a firewall problem [06:57] guys,is any good drivers for ati now? [06:57] outbackwifi: sorry i keep forgetting to use the tab command for your name lol [06:57] mo4: is that a usb speaker? you probably need to select it as the output device in preferences [06:57] outbackwifi: its a headset [06:57] justin_: np [06:58] mo4: It works perfectly on all the other stuff just not youtube videos [06:58] is there a way to forward OpenGL apps? [06:58] outbackwifi: how do i find out my own network address? iwconfig doesnt show my ip adress [06:58] or does X forwarding only forward basic apps? [06:58] justin_: ifconfig is your friend [06:58] k [06:59] guys,is there any suitable drivers of ati for 8.1 now? [06:59] outbackwifi: its just weird that it works on all but youtube videos [06:59] raevol, nothing else i can think of [06:59] it should work out of the box [06:59] mo4: it probably doesnt work on any flash enabled site ") [06:59] unless it's using some weird controller [06:59] Oric: If you consider fglrx suitable :) [06:59] outbackwifi: i installed the noflash flash but it does the same [07:00] ieldib should my bootable add-in device be "pci slot device" or "onchip sata raid"? [07:00] mo4: does it work with your regular speakers? [07:00] outbackwifi: i didnt try i only have a headset [07:00] philsf, Are you talking about flashplugin-nonfree ?? [07:01] outbackwifi: i rember trying to install other flash and it worked [07:01] mo4: so it works now? [07:01] outbackwifi: no it doesn't [07:01] Anyone using the "wl" driver for a Broadcom wireless chipset?? Im having a strange signal strength issue. Constantly drops and comes back but doesnt interrupt network activity that I can tell [07:01] outbackwifi: its something to do with the flash for sure the adobe one for ubunutu doesnt work [07:02] mo4: did you try flash10? its just out [07:02] outbackwifi: ya i did same thing [07:02] humm [07:02] flash? [07:03] 10? [07:03] ya [07:03] humm [07:03] outbackwifi: u know the name of the other flash [07:03] mo4: sorry; cant think of a reason; can you right click on the video and enable access to your system (havent seen a speaker there, only mic, camera etc) [07:03] mo4: what other flash? [07:04] !flash | mo4 [07:04] mo4: 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 [07:04] !gnash [07:04] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [07:04] mo4, I don't get your problem... maybe it can help you: sudo update-alternatives --set xulrunner-addons-flashplugin /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so [07:04] good luck :) [07:04] mo4: is that the one? [07:04] ya [07:04] gnash [07:05] hai [07:06] outbackwifi: sorry another question. Im pinging my desktop from my laptop (desktop is vista with no firewall) and it is not pinging it. however pinging my laptop from my desktop it is pinging correctly [07:06] outbackwifi: to learn linux programming what all languages do you need to know ? [07:06] c+ [07:07] justin_: not familiar with Vista but i remember all the windows have some sort of in-built firewall which prevent icmp replies (you might need to enable it somewhere) [07:07] of course if you can learn C+ then the other support languages like perl/python/bash scripting.. should be trivial tolearn. :) [07:07] how to check DBUS or HAL is running, and how to turn them on? [07:07] outbackwifi: yes vista does have a built in firewall however i do have it disabled. I will look around [07:07] I would like to learn C+. is that better than c++? [07:08] that must be some "Turbo" language? [07:08] pronoy: if its the kernel C, if its gnome gtk, if its kde qt, if its web based its php, python, ruby, ajax, java your/favorite/language [07:08] sekyourbox: almost same, though different libraries [07:08] or people just abbreviate c++ to be C+ :) [07:08] lol [07:08] outbackwifi: qt and gnome gtk then :) thanks man [07:08] C is the one language ive never really learned.. i can read/understand the code a little.. but i juat have never had the need to use it myself. [07:08] hello [07:09] ok, i think i got a virus, i was playing around in windows, & then when i rebooted i couldn't use my keyboard at the GRUB, now after a few more reboots, gparted shows sda as "unallocated": is that data lost?? or is it recoverable [07:09] I cant get beyond my ASCII snake game [07:09] anybody good with Raid 1 (software) ? I setup it and got it working successfully, using two 1 TB's hdds. When it's all said and done, I go to test it by simulating a failed drive - I simply disconnect the SATA lead, cat /proc/mdstat shows [_U] correctly, but then the system freezes and locks up becoming unrecoverable... I have to hard reboot [07:09] lakitu3, sounds more like a hardware issue to me... [07:09] lakitu3, unless the virus whipped out the hd. [07:09] why didn't it work? I thought if it the hdd was disconnected, my system should continue to run without issue [07:09] lakitu3: and smoked your keyboard [07:10] hey everybody has 8.10 stable been release yet or am I early? [07:10] !intrepid | Saruji [07:10] Saruji: 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 [07:10] Saruji: Not yet. #ubuntu-release-party [07:10] Saruji, its getting mirrored to the mirrors i think as we speak... so i would still wait. :) [07:10] hi, although i change my keyboard layout to Turkish from keyboard layout UI, it is still Engilish, how can i change it? [07:10] could gparted show it unallocated, but really it's just got a fixable problem? [07:10] thank you [07:10] outbackwifi: im trying the reinstall of flash 10 [07:11] mo4: ok [07:11] I couldn't even boot to a single hdd... I reconnected the SATA lead and then got an Error 18, so I reinstalled Grub and then everything was fine again - booted successfully, got into the Desktop and opened a terminal and ran cat /proc/mdstat again which correctly showed [UU] [07:11] Damn, I'm tring to install this program called FPrint to use my fingerprint scaner on my laptop but, I cant seem to find it any where.. [07:11] ThersiT, what brand or make of laptop? [07:11] I have a question is it best to run Kubuntu for software like Amarok [07:11] ? [07:12] since Amarok is KDE based right? [07:12] Saruji, use what you like.. I mixx and match gnome+kde apps all the time. [07:12] CaptainMorgan: It's a Lenovo 3000 N200 [07:12] outbackwifi: same thing just video working no audio output [07:12] not neccessarily Saruji I run Amarok just fine in Gnome... well, maybe sometimes it crashes... but no big deal, just quit it and restart it... doens't happen too often though [07:12] anyone know if ubuntu has a program similar to mac's text-to-screen program? It allows you type type some text and than it blows it up on screen [07:12] Saruji: It doesn't matter. You'll just have both libraries resident in memory at a time. [07:12] Saruji, it can also work on Gnome but it is a well known KDE application [07:13] so, any guru advice? black blinking screen, gparted says "unallocated" for the disk - any chance of repaing? [07:13] ThersiT, tried ThinkWiki.com ? I tried a solution from there... got it to work, but I just found it unnecessary... also seemed like too much work to get going.. I'm running a T61.. [07:13] outbackwifi: what should the sound capture be set too [07:13] black cursor blinking screen, i should say [07:13] outbackwifi: its on ALSA [07:14] do i need to do something with the partition tables or master boot record? [07:14] lakitu3, try a live cd ? [07:14] i am in a live cd now, yes [07:14] that's how i used gparted [07:14] and we back on track [07:14] CaptainMorgan: I think I have looked at ThinkWiki I've been googleing it all night [07:15] does amarok run better on kubuntu vs ubuntu [07:15] gnome [07:15] ThersiT, Lenovo might also have a driver... shipping Linux is the norm for them... [07:15] Saruji, what is your problem? [07:15] Saruji, your question was already answered by multiple folks [07:16] hi all... is anyone using the DUST theme? i ran the Dust_compiz_settings.sh script... but i dont like the non transparent effect ... how do i revert the effect? [07:16] Saruji, i doubt if you will notice much of a differance [07:16] anybody good with Raid 1 (software) ? I setup it and got it working successfully, using two 1 TB's hdds. When it's all said and done, I go to test it by simulating a failed drive - I simply disconnect the SATA lead, cat /proc/mdstat shows [_U] correctly, but then the system freezes and locks up becoming unrecoverable... I have to hard reboot [07:16] I found some posts that look like they work with fprint but they tell you to install it from a 3rd party respository and I have added it and still can't find the software to install [07:16] macvr, where did this script come from? perhaps its homepage/docs tell how to undo it.. or edit the script and see aht it did and undo it. [07:16] why didn't it work? I thought if it the hdd was disconnected, my system should continue to run without issue [07:16] I couldn't even boot to a single hdd... I reconnected the SATA lead and then got an Error 18, so I reinstalled Grub and then everything was fine again - booted successfully, got into the Desktop and opened a terminal and ran cat /proc/mdstat again which correctly showed [UU] [07:17] any ideas? [07:18] sata is shit [07:18] raevol: why may i ask? [07:18] raevol, based on what? [07:18] my brand new sata drive wont work [07:18] egads! that proves it! [07:19] * dr_willis goes back to MFM drives [07:19] raevol: what mobo do you have? [07:19] dr_willis: it came along with the theme, as an option to turn off the compiz transparency... this is the script> http://paste.ubuntu.com/63973/ , could u check it out? i'm just a noob , dont know how to revert the effect [07:19] abit av8 k8t800 [07:19] i have the same raevol althou, i haven't ever used sata. [07:20] so ok, if gparted says a disk is 'unallocated, does that mean it's impossible to fix? [07:20] rski, really? it's *generally* faster than IDE [07:20] raevol: well thats old mobo. try upgrading the bios and use a jumper to set the drive in sata 1 mode in case sata 2 is not recognised by the mobo [07:20] 'unallocated' [07:20] macvr, script says --> echo Usage: $0 [OPTIONS] [07:20] - i would guess ya run the script iwth a # from 0 to 100 to set the level of the effect.. 0 = totally transparent , 100 = no transparent.. [07:20] impossible to save the data, i mean [07:21] CaptainMorgan: not on a ide-drive. [07:21] jim_p, familiar with Raid maybe? any idea on my problem? [07:21] CaptainMorgan: are you on software raid? [07:21] yes [07:21] lakitu3: No. If it is actually unallocated, it either could be broken (if something formatted it), or just have the partition table broken (it doens't know theres stuff there). If you remember how big it was, etc, you should be able to fix the partition table, and get whatever datas on there back. [07:21] dr_willis: i just double clicked the .sh file and it set all the things... can i revert it? [07:22] no more intrepid support for me [07:22] CaptainMorgan: can you do linux software raid or you have windows somewhere in there? [07:22] !raid [07:22] raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [07:22] macvr, use the shell to run it.. [07:22] macvr, dont just double click. :) [07:22] jim_p, 100% linux... curious why you're referencing the bot... [07:22] Flannel, cool, thanks man. do i have to remember the EXACT sizes of the partitions? [07:23] CaptainMorgan: did you do the software raid the bot says? [07:23] dr_willis: shell? i dont understand... [07:23] lakitu3: I'm not really sure about the details unfortunately. [07:23] Flannel: any links or search terms? [07:23] !terminal | macvr [07:23] macvr: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [07:23] dr_willis: oh u mean terminal... [07:24] Terminal runs a shell. :) [07:24] also, since this has been happening, my keyboard DOES NOT work during post boot, it does when it asks if i want to go the BIOS, & it works in the OSs (when i could get to them), but not during e.g. a cd load [07:24] lakitu3: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Partition-Rescue.html might help. [07:24] jim_p, yes, the one from first link looks very familiar... I used the Alt Cd [07:24] actually it will *sometimes* listen to ctrl+alt+del [07:24] ok, thanks Flannel [07:25] there, now it's listening [07:25] jim_p, after further review.. yep, that's what I did.. [07:25] dr_willis: so when i double click i get the option run in terminal... i do it that way or is there some other way? [07:25] macvr, OPEN a terminal, type the command, ./scriptname [07:25] jim_p, although, i didn't configure an "update script" tho... [07:25] macvr, it has options you can use to set different things ./scriptname 100 I think. [07:26] macvr: there's only two ways to run that script: with no options, or with '--fade' [07:26] I lost toolbar in my gnome-terminal, how do I return it ??? [07:26] prince_jammys, i though it was parsing a # also.. perhaops i missread it.. [07:27] checks only the first arg, and does one thing when it's empty, and another when it's --fade. there's nothing else going on. [07:27] prince_jammys: dr_willis guys all this is going over my head :( i have already run the script previously... by clicking execute... now how do i revert the non transperency? [07:27] oh, and --help [07:27] Is Dell M6400 supported? It isn't listed anywhere.... [07:27] jim_p, maybe my system is syncing to some degree when I simulate a failed hdd ? Maybe I should wait longer during the freeze ? [07:27] or lock up [07:28] what's the liklihood I can port vista's speech engine to ubuntu using wine? [07:28] macvr: i have no idea [07:28] Ohmu: you want text to speech? [07:28] Flannel, no cts speech recog. [07:29] Ohmu: what is cts? [07:29] dr_willis: any ideas? [07:29] macvr, learn linux basics first.. then worry about eye candy [07:29] dulak, sorry - continuous [07:30] dr_willis: wow what a suggestion!!! [07:30] (and don't run most shell scripts out there. most suck) [07:30] macvr, delete your various .gnome* directories to reset all settings back to default.. if your eally want.. or play with the ccsm tool and set up te themes how you like. [07:30] macvr, i dont bother with Compiz or fancy themes any more. I dont bend over backwards for eyecandy. :) [07:30] jim_p, the update script appears optional.... no? I'm not sure of the need for it... the system is on with a projected 100% timeframe [07:30] jim_p, you with me or no? [07:30] ieldib, jim_p rski CaptainMorgan got my bios to detect it, think it might work this time thanks [07:31] it was the sata1/2 jumper [07:31] dr_willis: thank you... [07:31] Flannel: it says "UNKNOWN" for both filesystems of my HDDs... is that a symptom of some known computer problem? [07:31] all of a sudden both have unknown file systems? [07:31] I have a DRAM-memory-chip that I suspect is faulty... what is a good app to "test" the memory if I put it in to see that it is working correctly? some kind of benchmark app? [07:31] macvr: the script messes with gnome's gconf settings, so you might have to do what dr_willis said to revert to normal. [07:32] raevol: well done [07:32] prince_jammys: ok... [07:32] i upgrade to 8.10, the sound driver seem ok, but it has no sound, my card is "Intel Corporation 82801H", why [07:32] wartalker: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks [07:32] macvr, run the script with the --fade option and it might undo it... [07:32] dr [07:33] open a terminal type ./path/to/the/script --fade [07:33] CaptainMorgan: i have experienced something similar, but i dont know if its worth mentioning since its not raid but 2 seperate drives with the second one failing during everyday work [07:33] dr_willis: ok [07:33] jim_p, no problem, thanks anyways [07:34] can I map all of the wierd keys on my keyboard? [07:35] Ohmu: do you have a live chicken and a sharp knife? [07:35] CaptainMorgan: anyway i mention it. i had 2 drives, one linux one win. and the windows one suddenly failed! linux stopped responding for some time, then it simply unmounted the faulty drive :| these moments though were like eternity to me [07:35] dr_willis: s.. that did it... thank YOU :) [07:35] !keys | ohmu [07:35] ohmu: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [07:36] macvr, now stop just 'clicking on scripts' :) [07:36] macvr: good. [07:36] dr_willis: he he... ok.. :) [07:37] macvr: careful with scripts out there in the internet. most suck. some are (unintentionally) dangerous [07:37] that script just set a lot of settings that you could of done with the ccsm tool - it seems... [07:37] Ohmu: well the only key on my keyboard that does not work is saying "Files" and its supposed to open "my documents" in xp. all the rest like WWW, Email, Volume +, Mute etc work [07:37] I have a DRAM-memory-chip that I suspect is faulty... what is a good app to "test" the memory if I put it in to see that it is working correctly? some kind of benchmark app? [07:37] spazm: memtest86, select it at your GRUB menu (or from a liveCD) [07:37] spazm, the boot menus for most live cd's hage a memtest option. as does ubuntus default grub [07:37] prince_jammys: it is from the ubuntuwiki site... dust was the propased theme for 8.10... so i didnt worry too much about harm [07:38] macvr: ah, ok. [07:38] spazm: you can plug it on a system, making sure that its the only stick there, and run a memtest as the guys suggested [07:38] macvr, it dident do any harm.. it just set settings that you culd of set with the CCSM tool [07:38] looked beginnerish. most of that could have been done in a loop [07:38] prince_jammys: since i'm really a beginer!! [07:39] so I can only run it at boot? not manually via console? [07:39] spazm, it runs BEFOR the system boots.. its a special grub command/entry [07:39] spazm: no, sorry :( [07:39] macvr: well, you can be one. the person distributing the script shouldn't be ;) [07:39] spazm, well it runs runs befor the main os boots. :) [07:39] spazm: You can run it while Linux is running, but it works better if you do it on its own, since it has access to all of the RAM then. === Oric is now known as OpenYouMouth === OpenYouMouth is now known as Oric [07:41] prince_jammys: oh... u wer saying about the script... hope he wasnt a beginner too!!! but that was a theme that 8.10 was supposed to roll out with, but i dont knwo why it was scraped! i think tha the script was mainly for beginners === go is now known as Guest37884 [07:42] macvr: well, i'm glad it ended well. what i was basically saying is there's a lot of well-intentioned scripts and tweaks and config stuff floating around in the internet, much of which sucks. happily, this worked out. [07:43] prince_jammys: ya... heard about them... seem even help in the ubuntu forums somethimes have such scripts ... k... will be more carefull [07:44] Flannel: ok, and how do I then know if the memory is faulty or not? where can I see a log of it or how does it work? [07:44] spazm: it tests all your memory, sequentially. It'll indicate errors. Also, it'll run forever if you let it. So let it go through all the patterns at least once (leave it overnight or something). then stop it. [07:44] hello guys [07:45] need some help [07:45] !ask | Corden [07:45] Corden: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [07:45] what's the package name of mantis?

[07:46] hoary hedgehog let me enable vnc server from a menu.. how did it do that on the existing running X session?? [07:46] server irc.piraattipuolue.fi [07:46] spazm: You mean from within Linux? I've never actually done that. But likely similarly. [07:46] (instead of running a new X session in the netherlands which vncserver dished out) [07:47] ok tnx [07:48] Flannel: but how did you mean I should do it then? :) [07:48] i thougth were using 8.04, but we are using 7.10 [07:48] i though it will suggest to me the install keyword [07:48] anyway tnx for the help :D [07:48] spazm: You should reboot, and select it from yuor boot menu (hit escape after your POST screen, and it'll be at the bottom) [07:51] :D [07:51] I've come with a complicated problem me thinks [07:51] hi, whtas th go with that report about ubuntu going slower since 7.04? [07:51] Flannel: okok, I'll try.. I'll let it run for a little bit... but, can I have a working chip in there as well? will it test them separately or together? [07:52] how can I make nautilus unmount a fuse virtual fs I created? I can umount it manually with fusermount -u mnt, but nautilus complains I'm not root, and the mount point isn't in fstab. I'd like nautilus to handle this mount similarly to how it handles removable media [07:52] Flannel: I mean, if it comes up with errors, how do I know which chip it is if I have more than one? [07:52] spazm: It should be able to tell you, yes. [07:52] spazm: start removing chips until you stop getting errors [07:52] Outlander: i think it is minimal [07:52] spazm: or it might tell you which chip is broken. i forget [07:52] ok rww & Flannel [07:52] thanks [07:53] hi [07:53] Hi Uzzi! [07:54] how have Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller? [07:54] Okay, here's my question if anyone can help me: I have Ubuntu right now on a partition of my slaved drive. I'm going to take my slaved drive and move it out into a portible drive housing and use it as a portable drive. Can I disable Grub for now, reinstall it after and have it point to the new location of a portable drive to load off of? [07:55] I think I would only have it temp on a protable drive then move it to a new partition afterwards with DD. [07:55] Uzzi, i have some Marvell NIC.. and it had issues... lots of dmesg info on errors and stuff.. I think the 8.10 drivers may be better.. I dont recall its exact chipsethowever. I replaced the card a different brand. [07:55] I've 8.10 and I've the same problems [07:57] Anyone?

[08:12] Flannel: because vim 1.2 is out [08:12] Flannel: and I just upgraded [08:12] Flannel: and I still have bim 1.1.x [08:12] bim = vim [08:12] How about a GRUB install on Windows which I can configure to point to my external hard drive after? [08:13] Tyrath: That's not how versions work. With Ubuntu, the major version (non-bugfixes, security stuff) don't change throughout the release. Hardy will always have the version it shipped with, etc. [08:13] Flannel, yes. but you can update the sources.list file [08:14] Flannel: I updated the repository with a few things [08:14] - for the latest versions [08:14] Tyrath: Mixing repositories isn't a good idea. Nor is using third party repositories. [08:14] Flannel: I did with wine atleast [08:14] Flannel: why's that? [08:14] thanks all thats working [08:14] Sammy: ubuntu's sh (dash) doesn't understand the trap name SIGINT (has to be INT, or 2). Bash does. The problem should go away once the shebang is #!/bin/bash [08:14] for ther record i needed to install xfonts-base, working now [08:15] Sammy: awesome! Glad we could help :) [08:15] Flannel: because otherwise I have to go to the site and download the source code like I did with ooffice 3.0 [08:15] !ubuntu 8.10 [08:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu 8.10 [08:15] Tyrath: Third party sources depends on your ability to trust that source, you might have no problem. But you should still practice discretion. Mixing repositories is bad because you can run into updates that break the rest of your OS due to dependency versions, etc. [08:16] ZeekDaGeek: Not sure. There's a version of grub called grub4win out there somewhere, I think. I'm not too great with grub, though; every time I play with it, things break.

[08:21] tc111: It has to do with upgrading to Intrepid, so I'd ask in +1 [08:21] rww: Thanks, for the help. I think I'm going to just uninstall ubuntu and install it again later, I dont have enough content in ubuntu for it to matter. [08:21] Glitch you hold the power button in for about 5 seconds and it will power down [08:21] Glitch: sudo shutdown -h now [08:21] I mean in linux [08:21] Unplug it from the wall.. :) [08:21] Oh right [08:21] Flannel: will do, thank for the quick response [08:21] Learner101, dr_willis: Please be helpful when helping.

[08:33] BruteSource, silence fool [08:33] BruteSource, zzzzzz [08:34] loafers just ask your question [08:34] * Learner101 waits [08:34] Well, i'm following a guide on pendrivelinux.com to set up ubuntu on my external hDD [08:34] anyone knows anything about Dual Monitor settings [08:34] and it says to format my hdd to FAT32, but IIRC [08:35] my hdd is 100 Gigabytes and it has to be NTFS [08:35] will it still work? [08:36] if my partitions aren't showing up in fdisk, are they gone? [08:36] i believe i had a virus [08:36] (in win) [08:36] abchirk.. i was able to setup ubuntu server by following htese guide. http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts [08:36] Dual Screen help needed [08:37] and then i installed ebox platform from this guide.. http://www.howtoforge.com/running-a-file-and-print-server-with-ebox-on-ubuntu8.04-server-p2 [08:37] Guys could anyone help me with a GRUB error 21? [08:37] i installed Ubuntu 8.04 on a 640Gb external hard drive. [08:37] The installation went fine, but when i booted up the system without a Live CD i get GRUB stage 1.5 error 21. [08:37] I've booted up from a Windows XP SP2 disk and enterd the command line and tried the commands "fixboot", "fixmbr" and "fdisk /mbr". [08:37] Those commands didn't fix the GRUB problem and the "fdisk" command doesen't exist according to the command line. [08:37] kirima: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:37] I can't boot in XP nor Linux, i dont get a chance to choose system. [08:37] loafers: I might be wrong on this, but I believe the maximum filesystem size of FAT32 is several terabytes [08:37] now what i want to ask is how do i configure my clients to connect to it [08:38] basicly I want to setup my dual screen but not as a spanned screen, I would prefer to have linux operate the 2 screens individually and not 2 screen as one big screen. [08:38] ok thanks rww i'll try it out [08:38] loafers: according to Wikipedia, "Windows 2000 and Windows XP can read and write to FAT32 file systems of any size, but the format program included in Windows 2000 and higher can only create FAT32 file systems of 32 GB or less. This limitation is by design and according to Microsoft was imposed because many tasks on a very large FAT32 file system become slow and inefficient.[14][18] This limitation can be bypassed by using third-party formatting utilities or by u [08:38] Can anyone help me please? I have an Ubuntu server with gnome installed (ubuntu-desktop) but I don't want X to start automatically [08:38] HeLLRaZoR, what video card ?

[08:38] HeLLRaZoR, have you tried running nvidia-settings ? [08:38] abchirk.. i was mainly talking to a file server [08:39] HeLLRaZoR: you can easily do that with nvidia settings and setting each screen as a seperate X session [08:39] abchirk: about** [08:39] how many days i will be banned [08:39] any way to use iptables to map upper ports like 40001-51024 to 1-1024? [08:39] ? [08:39] HeLLRaZoR: you will not be able to drag windows between monitors [08:39] pogztimz but for a file server you do not need an apache or ftp? :) I would use samba as fileserver [08:39] ok thanks rww [08:39] abchirk: samba if you are on the same network with the server [08:40] A channel has bannned me and i cannot enter after 3 days what's happening [08:40] TANATHOS I thought he is? [08:40] #gentoo [08:40] abchirk: yes of course.. but i will need those later on.. for now i just want my clients to connect to the file and printer server [08:40] what does sda1p1 mean? [08:40] i have dual screens setup as we speak, but its discusting when i try to watch a movie it actually expands the window throughout both screens, making a huge demarkation in the middle of the video, because of the 2screen separation [08:40] what was that latest thunderbird update? I mean thunderbird isn't installed... [08:40] redi01: #gentoo isn't our responsibility. You'll have to talk to someone affiliated with that channel =/ [08:40] in context of fdisk [08:41] HeLLRaZoR: some WM can help with that. compiz can set up viewports that will stop that for example [08:41] i don't mean it about gentoo rww [08:41] HeLLRaZoR: also, for games and other full screen apps, you may need to set up some metamodes [08:41] abchirk: u there? [08:41] redi01: sorry, i assumed you meant you were banned from #gentoo. Which channel was it? [08:41] ok can someone guide me or refer me to some guides? [08:42] yes, but no idea. :( [08:42] Guys could anyone help me with a GRUB error 21? I installed Ubuntu 8.04 on a 640Gb external hard drive.

Those commands didn't fix the GRUB problem and the "fdisk" command doesen't exist [08:42] abchirk : kk [08:42] i mean it about suse and mandriva [08:42] As pritnserver I use cups in my local network, not more. :) [08:42] Does anyone have any ideas how o get the shortcut butons on my laptop working? The volume up/down/mute buttons, specifically. They don't do anything right now in Xubuntu 8.04.1 [08:42] Hi, I'm new to IRC and i'm using xchat, is there a way to remove the annoying sound when you hit backspace in the chat box?

If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [08:42] HeLLRaZoR, have you set it in config as a separate x-server ? [08:42] okay what do i use to download torrents with ubuntu [08:42] i cant find anything [08:42] loafers: you type the first few lettters and then press [08:42] !torrent | floyd [08:42] floyd: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [08:42] hmm no I dont think so, [08:43] how many days is the most that they can bann me [08:43] thanks [08:43] HeLLRaZoR, try that [08:43] GibbaTheHutt: he shouldn't set up seperate x-servers because that is overreacting to his "screen-spanning" problem. that is my opinion [08:43] ziroday, Thanks. [08:43] abchirk: i need the files and printers to be centralized.. i also need the clients to authenticate with the server [08:43] redi01: you need to ask those channels operators [08:43] ushimitsudoki, in an ideal world I agree :) [08:43] redi01: unless you're banned from an ubuntu channel, we can't help you. The maximum length for channel bans is, well, infinite. [08:43] loafers under Settings -> Preferences -> Sound [08:43] oh really? [08:43] however there are some advantages too [08:43] loafers: for more xchat specific stuff ask in #xchat [08:43] hi.. i have set up a jboss server... Whenever, I type http://localhost .. I want it to get automatically directed to http://localhost/ProjA ... How can I achieve this.. Any ideas [08:43] which are the operators? [08:44] pogztimz I am sure that cups supports authentication. :) [08:44] GibbaTheHutt, I just want to extend my desktop to a different resolutionned screen i have 2 screen 1x22" 1680x1050, and 1x17 1280x1024 and currently the desktop is shared on both screen, i would just like to have the second screen as an extension to my desktop and not an actual part of the monitor. [08:44] redi01: you need to ask on those channels [08:44] GibbaTheHutt: true (I have 3 monitors on 2 cards). I think HeLLRaZoR should better identify his issues and needs maybe? [08:44] ziroday, ok thanks. when i press TAB it attaches a comma, how did you get yours to attach a colon? [08:44] redi01 /msg Chanserv access #gentoo list [08:44] but i cannot enter [08:44] HeLLRaZoR, sorry I thought you didn't want that [08:45] yes sorry if i didnt explain myself properly. [08:45] abchirk: k. enough of printers. ty btw.. how about user accounts. yes.. how do i create them..? [08:45] loafers: you can change that in Settings > Preferences > Input Box. For xchat questions ask in #xchat [08:45] Thanks rww [08:45] redi01: ask on #freenode [08:45] ziroday, Ok thanks [08:45] HeLLRaZoR, can you explain the last bit a little different, think I'm misunderstanding [08:46] I do not use user authentication for 2 pcs in my lan pogztimz maybe you'll find something on the cups documentation. :) [08:46] but I do it in Vista, so i know its possible, I want my Gnome menus to stay on the main screen, and not expand on the other screen and when ill maximize a window I want it to stay on whatever screen its currently on, and not try to expand to both screens. [08:46] HeLLRaZoR, yep thats how I have mine atm === redi01 is now known as redi [08:46] Ububegin: you need to edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default. You may have better luck asking in #ubuntu-server [08:46] When you click Maximize your application will fill both screens, for some applications this is ok for others it's annoying [08:47] so i prefer not to have it filling both screen [08:47] so menu over on left larger screen, 2nd screen I set as right hand side to it and run other apps, maximised they take whichever they started in [08:47] so if someone can show me how to do this [08:47] abchirk: k [08:47] i would appreciate otherwise i'll keep scavenging the internet for some info [08:47] HeLLRaZoR: you need to run two seperate screens, not have them joined together [08:48] how do create user accounts that will authenticate with ubuntu server that i have just installed? [08:48] pogztimz: can you explain more, what do you mean by authenticate [08:48] ziroday, how do I do this [08:49] HeLLRaZoR: I only know how do it with a nvidia graphics cards sorry, what card do you have? [08:49] pogztimz: ? what are you trying to ask about , adding users was something that you were asked at the installation process [08:49] ive went to hell and back with this issue this is basicly my last resort before re-installing ubuntu [08:49] I have a NVIDIA G8 [08:49] HeLLRaZoR: have you used the nvidia-settings program? [08:49] no should I? [08:50] HeLLRaZoR: its the easiest way to configure multiple monitors, you can install it with sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [08:50] im installing it now [08:50] Its installable/optional [08:50] ziroday: HeLLRaZoR: this is not true. nvidia binary drivers have TwinView and can report appropriately faked Xinerama info that most window managers can respect and maximize only on the current monitor. Compiz respects this as does fvwm in my experience [08:50] ushimitsudoki: yes put gnome-panel will still span across two screens, no?? [08:50] i recently installed ubuntu server. i followed this guide. http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts and then installed ebo platform based again from this guide http://www.howtoforge.com/running-a-file-and-print-server-with-ebox-on-ubuntu8.04-server-p2. [08:50] how do i enable colors in bash? [08:50] I use nvidia + twinview all the time.. I have noticed after using nvidia-settings to set up the 2 monitors.. one MUST restart the X server. for the apps to fullscreen to just the single monitors correctly [08:51] pogztimz: okay, and what do you want to authenticate against? [08:51] ziroday: hmmm i don't recall (not on gnome anymore). that might be a point there [08:51] chovy, you enale the colors option in the program youa re running in bash. [08:51] its installed. [08:51] chovy, such as with an ls alias ---> alias ls='ls -hF --color' [08:51] ushimitsudoki: anyway I am not very familiar with the procedure, if you and dr_willis want to guide HeLLRaZoR through the procedure be my guest [08:52] HeLLRaZoR, basics.. Install nvidia driver get it going.. install nvidia-settings, run 'sudo nvidia-settings' configure monitors.. exit.. restart X server.. see if it works right. [08:52] 各位好呀,这是我第一次用xchat!

[08:54] i installed ebox platform for file and printer servers and also for remote administration. [08:54] pogztimz: and you want to create ebox users for all of them? [08:54] Ok im back. [08:55] and im getting some kind of error running nvidia-settings [08:55] hellrazor: can you pastebin/tell us the error? [08:55] Last chance....can anyone explain to me why 8.04LTS stops working?? [08:55] You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [08:55] hellrazor: you are sure you have a nvidia card? [08:55] and i ran nvidia-xconfig as root [08:55] lol [08:55] yes im sure.

[08:56] yes the proprietary drivers [08:56] I don't get error messages the GUI, it loads and everything and then just stops!! [08:56] i think i should reinstall Ubuntu [08:56] is there a command to make ubuntu rebuild /etc/network/interface like it does automaticaly during install ? [08:57] no.. i want to create user accounts so that their documents would be only accessible for them [08:57] hellrazor: hmm you shouldn't need to, I am just trying to remember how to verify you are using the nvidia drivers [08:57] pogztimz: okay and you are using samba?

But can you teach me how i can use cron? Sry because im actually not so understand in cron's manual. [09:23] legendsohai, cron has 1000's of guides/sites online that detail its ussage.. i havent used it much in ages [09:23] !cron [09:23] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

Welcome to #ubuntu! [09:24] if i do sudo vigr, how do i edit the file... [09:24] every time i try to type it gives odd characters [09:24] sudo vigr ?

[09:25] i need to add myself to a group [09:25] mordof, i just normally use those groupadd commands [09:25] mordof: sudo adduser user group [09:26] sudo virg works here...

[09:27] mordof: `adduser user` creates a user, `adduser user group` adds user to group. see man adduser for details, etc. [09:27] kk [09:28] jim_p, sed is designed for that sort of work. [09:28] dr_willis: and how will i do that? [09:29] jim_p, i would start by reading the sed docs.. its a very powerfull tool.. deleteing 10 lines shoudl be fairly trivial.. then its cat file | sed 'correct sed options [09:30] dr_willis: its not 10 lines only. its the first 10 characters fromeach line of a ~50 line file [09:30] whats this autofs for / ubuntu is using? i cant update packages because its limiting my avail. space [09:30] jim_p, sed can read a file, then do a edit on each line of that file.. thats what it was designed to do.. it could do it to a 10 line file or a 1000000000000000000000000 line file. [09:31] jim_p, i also recall a 'cut/paste' command from years ago that could do a similer task. [09:31] jim_p: sed 's/^.\{10\}//g' filename [09:31] cut - remove sections from each line of files [09:31] jim_p: I found that on google, but it looks right (and non-damaging) [09:31] rww, i was thinking of 'd' for delete.. :) your fancier! [09:32] ViennaL: autofs is the "daemon" that automounts your usb stick at a constant folder every time you plug it in. otherwise you would have to mount -t vfat .... [09:32] rww, dr_willis thanks [09:33] jim_p: short explanation: s/something/something else/g replaces something with something else (g is some option; case sensitive or something, I forget); ^.{10} matches 10 characters (.) at the start of the line (^). The random \ are to escape things so bash doesn't mess the command up. [09:33] hello! [09:33] :O [09:33] rww, your Regrexp-Fu is strong !

My wireless stopped working on my Ubuntu 8.10 installation, and when I tried the Fedora 9 Live CD (which previously had support for my wireless card) it also did not work. The wireless card is still visible when I run lspci. [10:27] I can't seem to figure out how to connect to multiple servers [10:27] #ubuntu+1 for that tphilosopher [10:27] tphilosopher: 8.10 support is in #ubuntu+1 [10:27] Does this mean it is a hardware problem? [10:28] aperson: ive not used it in that fashion, i know pidgin can [10:28] tphilosopher: is it inside lspci? [10:28] jim_p: Yup. [10:28] tphilosopher: ooops. ok then what is it? [10:28] ActionParsnip, but alas, I don't like pidgin for irc [10:28] jim_p: It fails to detect any networks at all. [10:29] /join #kubuntu-es [10:29] what is SCIM for, this thing annoys the hell out of me! [10:29] tphilosopher: i mean, what is the line of the card in lspci?

I think it's probably a hardware problem. If it is, can anyone suggest a cheap (and I mean really cheap) wireless card that Ubuntu has support for? [10:31] tphilosopher, try the hardware channel or ubuntu-offtopic [10:31] tphilosopher: in 8.04 were you using ndiswrapper to make it work? [10:31] ubuntu8.04 cant reboot on my laptop,why [10:31] tphilosopher: I have that wireless chipset too, and have had problems with it. Even when it did work, it'd randomly disconnect and have major slowdowns. Thankfully, I'm somewhere with wired ethernet now, so I don't need it. But yeah, it's a pain to get working. [10:31] jim_p: Yes, I was. But that was unnecessary in 8.10 beta.

[13:14] is xchat-gnome the best graphical client available, or are there others?

I'm using gpxe and grub and the kernel are already loading fine. Now I need to tell the kernel to load its iscsi root.

[13:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/64083/ [13:30] jrib: ./configure , make , make install [13:30] outbackwifi, alsamixer with some parameters or not? i want to adjust it from a script without any gui [13:30] stage3: http://paste.ubuntu.com/64083/ [13:30] Tyrath: if you use ./configure; make and sudo make install; most FOSS software install in /usr/local/bin [13:30] elTigre: that should be fine to run ubuntu, is there the same slowdowns on a livecd? [13:30] Tyrath: ./configure --help pay attention to the --prefix option [13:30] outbackwifi: I did, but this app didn't [13:30] pronoy_, ok [13:30] don't know, I'd think yes [13:30] uh no I mean [13:30] Tyrath: you can also issue a ---prefix like jrib says [13:30] there is nothing on the harddrive in a live cd, and the swap isn't used [13:31] elTigre: isnt that why its called a liveCD? [13:31] or better the swap on my harddrive installation isn't used [13:31] jrib: well it gives a lot of prefixes, but I couldn't see one that installed the app like normal apps are installed [13:31] eMyller: you need to do some port forwarding [13:31] Tyrath: huh? [13:31] hi all, i'm trying to get onto an ftp with nautilus (so i can use it like a filesystem) - when i login it shows me nothing but one file, if i login with ftp on the cmd line, or filezilla i see the full contents - it's a windows ftp server - anything sound familiar? [13:31] Tyrath: --prefix [13:31] eltigre:it doesn't run off the HD [13:31] swapping isn't the slow down, because it's not used [13:32] jrib: well if you install a debian package it shoots the files into multiple directors yeah? and adds an alias to the prog [13:32] ph8: yeah, windows ftp == BAD [13:32] and the cpu spends 70% in "Waiting" [13:32] pronoy_, you have to do a backup of xorg.conf file, copy it with another name [13:32] Tyrath: yes? [13:32] cara: 1and1's fault unfortunately [13:32] whereas the "us" portion usually is below 10% [13:32] elTigre: no but it could be due to you installing a whole bunch of applications and not sure what theyre doing [13:32] pronoy_, then execute this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [13:32] ziroday: probably yes, like gnome... [13:32] elTigre: is the prob only with FF or generally with Ubuntu? [13:32] jrib: but when i do the tarbalz extraction, then make and make install it shoots the files into a random directory [13:32] el [13:32] stage3: gotcha [13:32] how do i check port excess in ubuntu 8.04 ? [13:33] FF in particular, epiphany is a little quicker [13:33] piasdom: whats that? [13:33] jrib: how could i make it install the files in multiple directories and add the alias like what happens with debian packages? [13:33] Tyrath: it shoots the files off into the directory you specify with --prefix [13:33] I also tried to disable extensions... didn't help much [13:33] outbackwifi, the errors I got: http://paste.ubuntu.com/64084/ [13:33] Tyrath: you usually just want to use --prefix /usr/local/ [13:33] outbackwifi: i need to check to see if port 902 is blocked [13:33] elTigre: there used to be a known bug in FF; turn off security checking or something [13:33] there seem to be background processes that strain the harddrive or something [13:34] piasdom: install nmap and do a portscan [13:34] jrib: ah k. and then or the alias? [13:34] or = for [13:34] outbackwifi: thanks [13:34] jrib: or do i have to bind that manually [13:34] Tyrath: it will install binaries to /usr/local/bin/ which is already in your path [13:34] but I can't really figure out what they are, the "top" command doesn't give me anything specific to kill [13:34] except maybe trackerd [13:34] stage3: done [13:35] jrib: hmm... see the thing is I installed a deb package that was an earlier version. I basically just wanted to upgrade [13:35] So I just got my wifi driver working and I can see all of the wifi networks in range but when I try to connect to one it just sits there trying to connect.

[13:35] Tyrath: install it to /usr/local/. Even if you have something from debs in /usr/, /usr/local/ comes first in your path, so that will get used when you run the command [13:35] stage3: nope [13:36] wep 128 [13:36] encrypted [13:36] jrib: cool ty [13:36] got the really odd problem, sudo causes Segementation falut.

[13:36] mxweas: did you change your passcode input to hex before entering it? [13:36] mxweas: most people normally enter a 128 bit passphrase instead of hex key because this option shows up first; try selecting correctly in the combo box [13:36] no [13:36] stage3: i however did install nvidia settings and i can increase resolution to 1280 * 800 but the screen goes haywire.. [13:36] Tyrath: no, proper deb packages are not supposed to touch /usr/local/ [13:36] pronoy_, look at the section Device again. tell me the driver name [13:37] jrib: but still, given I instal it in /usr/local/ it will erase the previous version of the app? [13:37] so the passphrase box just opened [13:37] pronoy_, did you restart xserver? [13:37] how do I enter my 26 digit key?

[13:55] piasdom: applications listen on ports; these ports are deemed open; a firewall can prevent access to these open ports; so what is it that you want to do?

[13:56] stage3: right now 1280 * 900 upgradable to 1440 * 900...because i am getting an LCD [13:56] ne2k__: you can download the deb file and run "dpkg -i --force-architecture yourdebfile.deb" [13:56] KaiForce less built-in tools [13:56] ne2k__: and you just try running it, see if it works [13:56] berriop, yes I'm still there. [13:56] piasdom: are they both on the same machine? [13:56] outbackwifi: but on port 8333 it can't connect and port 902 just sits there [13:56] probably not a problem for me the way I use Ubuntu. Thanks spree. [13:56] ne2k__: you might be able to use gdebi as well.. it might even be better [13:57] KaiForce I also THINK it doesn't do stuff like thumbnails and music previews [13:57] Can I trust getdeb?

[13:58] piasdom: netstat -l should show all ports that apps are listening on, if those two ports show up then you should be able to connect [13:58] KaiForce yeah you should be fine [13:58] Bozza: use somethig else, mplayer is decent [13:58] ne2k__: hmm.. have you installed curl? [13:58] i don't do much though, just RDP session, and VLC for streaming tunes [13:58] outbackwifi: thanks again [13:58] yes i use mplayer as well [13:58] Slart: hmm, I do have /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 [13:59] i love mplayer [13:59] but anyway to make vlc look like it used to do [13:59] pronoy_, what is the max monitor resolution? [13:59] same :) [13:59] Bozza: is it skinnable [13:59] KaiForce going all out with bigger capacity hardware is fun to do in ubuntu though just fyi [13:59] ne2k__: could be that it's looking for a 32-bit libcurl [13:59] Slart: it's a symlink to /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.0.1 [13:59] ne2k__: what program is it? [13:59] well , vlc always used to have a classic look . but now they made it look retarded for linux [13:59] yes it is [13:59] Bozza: thenoff you go to skin [13:59] Bozza: do you avedesktop effects? [14:00] *have desktop [14:00] Slart: yes, probably. I'll have to compile from source. the program is sonic-visualiser, from www.sonicvisualiser.org [14:00] Bozza: there's like 5 different VLC clients to choose from available for linux [14:00] stage3: using nvidia settings its 1280 * 800 but using the kde application just 800* 600 [14:00] bozza: one is even web based [14:00] spree i chose the one from synaptic update i think [14:01] pronoy_, could you use gnome for a moment? [14:01] Bozza: i like xine [14:01] i dont .. i just use vlc and mplayer :) [14:01] pronoy_, when you use gnome, the screen resolution can be canged? [14:02] but i think its retarded that they screwed the skin up [14:02] i use VLC plenty but i also use xine and mplayer i depends on the codec === cew_gokil is now known as aq [14:03] the matroska files .mkv's tank on vlc and mplayer for me i play that on xine [14:03] spree do you know what stupid vlc skin i am talking about [14:03] how can I tell ubuntu to connect to wifi from the terminal?

[14:05] spree one sec i am uploading [14:05] i don't like using unusual ports for SMTP because you'll get blocked by most ISP spam filters if you do that. the filters try to connect to your port 25 and 587 and if it cant it tags you [14:05] pronoy_, in conclusion you have installed the nvidia driver and it seen don't be activate?

I'm at work (shouldn't be here lol) [14:07] slobad23 hit esc on boot for grub menu then E for edit and e again I think then make the change he suggested [14:07] erUSUL: looks like it's using swap as intended yup :) [14:07] slobad23, you can edit the grub lines from the grub menu also. for a one time boot/options [14:07] i cant boot the live cd without passing the acpi=off to it... it is a samsung q45 [14:07] ah ok - i will do this while grub is loading [14:07] thanks [14:07] stage3: its installed....the effects are all running...the only problem is the resolution [14:07] s/which/who [14:08] ActionParsnip: installed with livecd, and used 11.3 GB for swap :P so if it's working like it should, it's another issue I got.. but that's Wine-related in that case [14:08] spree [14:08] pingviller25 you don't need that much swap [14:08] what's the wine-hq channel name? :P I forgot [14:08] http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AM7BDY9H [14:08] pingviller25: #winehq [14:08] spree check that link [14:08] spree:i was about to say thats alot [14:09] !swap [14:09] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster.

[14:21] diese1, they try to make them look like a 'windows dialog/warning' nothing to do with linux really nothign to do with windows really.. jyust trying to scare people into buying their stuff. [14:21] i just want to make it look like the normal vlc [14:21] 'ello, mainly a cosmetic question but it's annoying enough that I'll ask... with some GNOME icon themes, icons for folders in the gedit file-browser pane are just rendered as 1px dots, probably because GTK can't find the folder icon for them. I do see the custom folder icons in nautilus, and everywhere else... any ideas which particular pixmap it's looking for? [14:21] outbackwifi: thanks I'll read up on zcat and dd [14:21] well u can ad any skin [14:22] diese1, theres no real viruses for linux. Go get adblock for firefox, and perhaps noscript extensions.. and wave those popups bye...

[14:31] AdvoWork, the fstab normally is used to mount 'shares' not share them. also. :) [14:31] o [14:31] lol [14:31] i find no "alsa*-dev" package [14:31] I was lost for a second there === Azhax is now known as MyAzhax [14:31] I have got a problem in installing deb files manually in hardy, anyone to help ? [14:31] callkalpa1, tell the channel a little more details.. would be benificial to all. [14:31] callkalpa1: why are you installing deb files manually? [14:31] dr_willis, basically, if i type \\server\FILES i can view the files, im trying to link that to /home/mydir which wont work. tried with smbfs,cifs.. getting nowhere, im using ubuntu and this is like a terastation [14:31] callkalpa1: fire away [14:32] k [14:32] good evening [14:32] I have got the deb files for compiz configuration [14:32] callkalpa1, double click and install. if there are dependance problems it will tell you.. in that case your trying to install a deb that hasn't been vetted by ubuntu and might harm your system [14:32] AdvoWork, root user should be to mount that there... or you can use that fusesmb (or was it smbfuse) tool to have the whole network mounted under user controll. [14:32] outbackwifi: nevermind =] [14:33] AdvoWork, or theres smb4k, or perhaps some other tools to browse/mount shares also. [14:33] * cara points zamba to libasound2-dev [14:33] callkalpa1: why are you not using the repositories? [14:33] will it work if I copy them to "/var/cache/apt/archives" and install compiz configuration through Add/Remove applications ? [14:33] AdvoWork, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb [14:34] this is one of my friends problems, he doesn't have internet connection. so can't make use of repositories :-( [14:34] dr_willis, actually i just did: Places > Connect to Server > Windows Share > put the name in, then FILES and its worked... so where can i find FILES? ie from / [14:34] callkalpa1, if you are going to use the .deb files.. install them via the command line.. forget about add/remove [14:34] AdvoWork, if its 'mounted' use the mount command and see.. the gnome file manager normally sort of 'browses' the shares - im not sure if it actually mounts them to a real location [14:35] AdvoWork, the whole 'mount' vs 'browseing' can often cause issues. [14:35] dr_willis, ive just used mount and can see it listed there [14:35] callkalpa1: if you want to do that via CLI sudo dpkg -i package.deb should work [14:36] AdvoWork, then its mounted it seems.. :) [14:36] Is there a way to install them other than installing them one by one separately ? [14:36] callkalpa1, put them all on the same command line.. :) logical eh? === francois_ is now known as andrewjosephblak [14:36] dr_willis, DOH, i meant CANT see it listed,sorry [14:36] :S [14:36] dr_willis, wild cards.. === andrewjosephblak is now known as andrewjoseph [14:36] i'm trying to mount my eSata external harddrive. I used to have no problems with it when it was formatted with ntfs, but now that its ext3, nothing comes up when i plug it in [14:36] yeah, but won't it occur dependecy problems ? [14:36] scunizi, i learned my lesson once about isntalling with wildcards.. :) heh === andrewjoseph is now known as andrewjosephblak [14:37] callkalpa1, it will actually reduce the issues.. :) [14:37] if a.deb needs b.deb then you sudo apt-get install a.deb b.deb [14:37] of course if you dont have b... well... [14:37] liquidrid: the last few lines of dmesg should indicate whether that drive was detected [14:38] AdvoWork, looks like its browsing the shares then. YOu may want to check out Fusesmb. its very handy [14:38] dr_willis, so if its not mounted, how did my connect to network work? its obviously worked somehow, cant i copy that process to make it the same? [14:38] will this cause problem "sudo apt-get install b.deb a.deb" ? [14:38] ill take a look dr_willis [14:38] AdvoWork, 'browseing' the shares.. vs 'mounting' the shares... [14:38] callkalpa1: yes it wont work [14:38] hmm ...... [14:38] can i get it by apt-get install? [14:38] callkalpa1: apt-get looks for packages not .debs [14:38] actually from what ive read.. the order wont matter.. it sees them both.. [14:39] AdvoWork, of course. :) [14:39] doh.. outbackwifi gets bonus points for that. :) [14:39] * outbackwifi bows [14:39] pronoy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/64100/ [14:39] dpkg -i *.deb <----------- use with caution [14:39] dr_willis, dont suppose you know the package name, Fusesmb didnt work, and my browser isnt on,on this box [14:39] yeah but apt-get needs internet connection, isn't it ? [14:39] pronoy, you have to add the modes line to your xorg.conf file [14:40] sudo apt-get install fusesmb [14:40] !apt-get [14:40] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [14:40] callkalpa1: yes thats why we told you to use dpkg or gdebi in the first place [14:40] hmm ...... [14:40] ok [14:40] apt-get calls dpkg i think.. :) [14:40] outbackwifi, it seems to have been picked up : [ 6758.720569] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] 1250263728 512-byte hardware sectors (640135 MB) [14:41] thanks for all your opinions and helps :-) [14:41] pronoy, you can change the resolution if you wan to do it, but I only want to test it [14:41] dr_willis, installed it etc, cant you just run it like "fusesmb" as it says missing mountpoint [14:41] stage3: i'll have to relogin for this...hang onm [14:42] liquidrid: if it doesnt show partitions then you might not have created them yet; use gparted to create one or more partitions and format them to ext3 [14:42] AdvoWork, you will need to read its docs/set up its default config file.. that guide walks ya throug it.. its man pages proberly have the info also. [14:42] how do i clear my .deb files? [14:42] diese1: sudo apt-get clean [14:42] pronoy you have to restart x for do it [14:42] AdvoWork, in short.. mkdir ~/Network fusesmb Network [14:42] outbackwifi: thanks [14:43] Hi, when starting X i'm gettin black screen and "no signal input" onscreen, then ih ave to reboot, iv'e got from Xorg.log this : (EE) RADEON(0): V_BIOS address 0x2ee30 out of range " any idea ? [14:43] liquidrid: and then mount using fstab [14:43] AdvoWork, look for an example fusesmb.conf that package installed also... you willneed to copy it to ~/.smb/fusesmb.conf and edit it [14:43] outbackwifi, gparted lists it as /dev/sdc1, its formatted as ext3, status: not mounted [14:44] is there no way to just have it auto-detect like it did when it was formatted as ntfs? [14:44] liquidrid: great; the next step is to just make an entry into fstab and mount it [14:44] liquidrid: it should; mine does; [14:44] but it wont mount till it gets accessed I thought. [14:45] not like making a fstab entry is very hard. :) [14:45] dr_willis: umm.. actually it gets automounted [14:45] how can know that i am working on ubuntu server edition or home edition [14:45] abuiliazeed: lsb_release -a [14:45] do you guys recommend an fstab entry by UUID? [14:45] liquidrid: absolutely [14:45] outbackwifi, ive never noticed it doing that.. that could be annoying. :) [14:46] hard to hide the..err.. wait i wont go on.. [14:46] stage3: totally screwed up my system.....now the nvidia driver is turned off as a precaution [14:46] liquidrid: that way it wont matter which usb port you plugged it in, it would always mount at the same mount point [14:46] dr_willis, ive got it kind of working, the networking thing opened, also dont know if this helps, my FILES folder is listed under bookmarks ? [14:46] outbackwifi, its esata, mind give me a hand for a sec with fstab? [14:46] dr_willis: it does more than that, nautilus opens up two browser windows for the two partitions (darned annoying) [14:47] liquidrid: sure [14:47] pronoy, are you using nv driver? [14:47] it said no lsb modules are availble when i typed this to the terminal does it mean that i don't have the server edition [14:47] AdvoWork, it should show the whole windows networks in that directory as if its a local directory. I dont use the gnome file manager much.. so no idea on that stuff.. try exploreing it with the terminal. [14:47] * outbackwifi is not sure what esata would change [14:47] stage3: now its disabled [14:47] stage3: earlier i was [14:47] abuiliazeed-> what did you typed? [14:47] abuiliazeed: after that it would have given you 4 more lines [14:47] pronoy, do: lspci [14:48] yes [14:48] dr_willis, i used the same folder Network, in theres, its empty, or isnt that what you mean?

[14:49] compton-> iwconfig does not connect you, it only configures the interface [14:49] pronoy look if the nvidia card is [14:49] outbackwifi, it might not change anything, just mentioning it in case. i have the UUID, where should i mount it to? when i used to plug this in (when it was ntfs), an icon just showed up on my desktop, and i didn't particularly care where it was mounted to [14:49] n8tuser, what should I use? [14:49] AdvoWork, i am on the mshome workgroulg. and fileserver is the name of my sambaserver [14:49] exit [14:49] n8tuser: actually it does connect too [14:49] outbackwifi: do i need to reinstall ubuntu ?

[16:26] darkvertex, i am no expert either, but i believe, that it's not a matter of adding more specifying more in xorg.conf,but a matter of disable f*@#¼½¼ autodetection [16:26] pronoy what is your resolution now?

[16:28] i dont know man [16:28] im sorry [16:28] im a newbie to this [16:28] limitedwisdom: im pretty sure that will work, but I've never done it because all of my startup scripts have been in init.d [16:28] huh...

[16:35] limitedwisdom: if you did everything correctly with the symlink to the init.d directory, it should place symlinks in rc's 2,3,4, and 5 [16:35] stage3: ?? [16:36] stage3: this was done after the error [16:36] i meant evolution mail client [16:36] xtian_: right - and does that "start" the service when it runs it?

[16:36] LjL: http://pastebin.com/m2cb63e35 thanx [16:36] limitedwisdom: yes,that will start the service, and yes, to start and stop the service, you should be able to type sudo /etc/init.d/servicename.sh start or stop [16:37] xtian_: sweet! you've been very helpful! [16:37] Pici: thanks to you as well! [16:37] limitedwisdom: just to be sure, once you have used the update-rc.d utility, check it out by using "ls -l /etc/rc2.d/ [16:38] limitedwisdom: and make sure there is a symlink in there to your /etc/init.d/servicename link [16:38] LjL:http://pastebin.com/m2cb63e35 [16:39] !netsplit [16:39] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

Udev does it, and right now its trying to connect when the device is still locked by the kernel for initial processing [16:52] ikonia: what next? [16:52] jarussi, do you only get video and not audio? [16:52] darkvertex, i restarted x every time when i made changes to xorg.conf [16:52] ikonia: just evolution let no drive ,ail thru toonle.net proxy - this is a question [16:52] jarussi, what version and bit (32/64) do you use currently?

[16:53] Slart: udev runs as root, so basically i want it to start a script and then detach itself so it can continue processing the USB device, then the script will wait 5 or so seconds, then call pppd to start the connection [16:53] ikonia: only since yesterday [16:53] ALL: Nevermind. I found one: Taskjuggler. Seems quite nice too. :) [16:53] I've been running windowsXP until last night [16:53] Indigo6: ok, and 465 as smtp.gmail.com:465 ?

[16:53] xtian_: ah.. so you just want it to start a script and not wait for that script to finish [16:53] c0llisi0n, try here http://www.linuxalt.com/ [16:53] Slart: the reason i want to detach is because udev processes scripts in order, and the way i am calling it, there are things udev has to do after this is done [16:53] LjL: did you get a chance to see the paste I left you? [16:53] Slart: exacly [16:53] yay: smtp.gmail.com is not listening on 465 [16:53] yay: however you connect, Gmail will want pop.gmail.com:995 --- just a sec, and I'll check on SMTP [16:53] coz_, yes, sir!

[16:55] jarussi, have you tried uninstalling Flash and then reinstalling it? Typically, most users have this issue resolved by that simple step. [16:55] hello all! btw, the intel x86 version (not 64bit) supports in 4 GB of ram? i have intel quad core... ... thanks! [16:55] mikebeecham oh, maybe it doesn't, hang on I'll get you a website [16:56] thanks ikonia [16:56] :D [16:56] Ahem, I apologize.

[16:56] mikebeecham: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-g.html [16:56] musictoto: np .. tkz anyway [16:56] has anyone had issues upgrading their kernel headers?

[16:56] xtian_: have you tried that? [16:57] Ljl: I get a lot of broken dependencies! [16:57] jarussi, I believe that you need to have the latest version of Java (1.5?) for it to work properly. [16:57] ironfoot_495: err yes, you said that before. i want to know what those are. [16:57] jarussi, I would check witin Synaptic to make sure you have the latest version. [16:57] Indigo6: I just want to send it thru toonel.net to their server, compress it then ssl it, and catching up with such a feature [16:57] c0llisi0n: the java or the shockwave version? [16:57] is it conventional for one to update ubuntu from previous editions to the newest, or to acquire the newest iso, when a final release is released? i have the 8.10 BETA, and it may have been a bit unstable, but it runs rather well now, and i'm inclined to keep it. [16:58] Slart: [16:58] anyone know how to start a different desktop from another virtual console?

[17:24] balz: why would you move anything into the root directory? [17:24] LjL: sorry for my mistakes here what you asked for -> http://pastebin.com/m48fe7f61 [17:24] balz: cd X / (since you asked) [17:25] I bet this isn't that hard for you :P it's a dpkg issue to get the correct phrasing right... http://pastebin.com/d7d06b6f0 (I know I'm impatient, been sitting trying to get my comp up for days now and it's tearing on my patience, so have patience with me please ;) ) [17:25] LjL: i'm following an online tutorial to install a webui for rtorrent. it says to move the installation directory to root [17:25] hey folks is there any app for ubuntu that syncs user settings (and files perhaps) online somehow? [17:25] stapel: yes it's there [17:25] balz: does it say webroot or root? [17:26] it says root [17:26] Hello, does anyone know of a plugin which displays your desired exchange rate on your desktop, (with conky,superkaramba gdesklets etc) Either eyecandy or not? [17:26] pingviller25: its dpkg -i (small i) [17:26] joshuajtl: you can use ssh + rsync to mantain your home dirs synced between two computers [17:26] outbackwifi: gives same feedback with small i [17:26] outbackwifi: scratch that! it says www root! [17:26] balz: sounds like a terrible idea, where is that tutorial? [17:27] LjL: yeah i just looked again... it says www root... i read too fast [17:27] balz: so copy it to the document root typically /var/www/ [17:27] ironfoot_495: that error is quite weird. my guess is that the archi mirror is currently broken. try changing mirror (you can do that from Software Sources, or by editing /etc/apt/sources.list and changing every "archive.ubuntu.com" into, say, "se.archive.ubuntu.com" for the swedish mirror) [17:27] pingviller25: can you pastebin that response? [17:28] hi [17:28] LjL: hmm [17:28] ironfoot_495: are you still on dapper? [17:28] ok, one machine has lost it's samba shares. How do I restore them? The really strange thing is the SMB server is complaining about this box. [17:28] outbackwifi: http://pastebin.com/da9fd279 [17:28] anyone now the command to set a blowfish key on konversation ? [17:28] hello... today is 30th, where to download ubuntu interpid final? [17:28] ironfoot_495: after you've done that, run "sudo apt-get update" again and see [17:28] unitedpotsmokers: type /topic [17:28] LjL: Yes Sir or ubuntu 8.04 [17:28] semi-new to linux so the CLI is a bit confusing and how to get the typing of the commands right [17:28] hi! does anybody know why my upgraded feisty->hardy system now freezes at boot at point: /scripts/init-bottom [17:29] ??? [17:29] ironfoot_495: ubuntu 8.04 is not dapper, it's hardy. [17:29] xtian_: ah.. found something interesting.. a command called setsid [17:29] outbackwifi: that's odd. i dont have a /var/www directory [17:29] I see the samba problem is a result of an update? Which version should one revert to? [17:29] pingviller25: is that file on desktop? can you pastebin the output of ls -l inside Desktop? [17:29] balz: do you have a webserver installed? [17:29] LjL ok!!` === haptiK is now known as barseflaps [17:29] outbackwifi: no [17:29] ubottu: no [17:30] hello, trying to get my tv to work as a second display with the NVidia drivers, it works ok but is there any way i can tell whatever it is i need to tell that the TV runs off 50Hz and not 60? [17:30] Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [17:30] hi, i've installed some packages by compiling them and not through apt-get, but now there are other packages which i'd like to install from repositories that try to install the packages i have already compiled, is there some way to avoid this? [17:30] balz: then how do you plan to run the webui?? [17:30] xtian_: I just call the second script as "setsid /path/to/second/script.sh &" .. and it seems to work.. you might want to read up on the command though.. just so it doesn't do something unexpected [17:30] Does anyone know of something like zenity but with less dependencies, or written directly on x11 code? I need to be able to pop up x11 windows through sh [17:30] outbackwifi: jeez i need to take the tiem to read more slowly! it says i need a webserver in bold lol =) [17:30] * outbackwifi o_O [17:30] i'm not doing very well today... [17:30] outbackwifi: the file is on Desktop yes, http://pastebin.com/d59a2fd4a [17:30] after the release of 8.10 of ubuntu, how long do the releases of kubuntu and ubuntustudio last? [17:30] hello Ive installed ubuntu 8.10rc on my acer aspire one [17:31] deever: What do you mean by 'how long do they last'? [17:31] hi, is ther anyone who know command to hibernate which using gnome-panel in intrepid. woks perfect and i need it for openbox [17:31] Roberth: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid (8.10) questions [17:31] anyone? [17:31] outbackwifi: can you recommend a webserver? lgihtweight is better [17:31] *lightweight, even [17:32] anyone now the command to set a blowfish key on konversation ? [17:32] balz: nothing beats apache imho [17:32] balz: apache2 is fine; if you're really constrained for resources lighttpd is the way to go [17:32] Pici: how many days after ubuntu are the corresponding versions of kubuntu and ubuntustudio released? [17:32] lbd: the way to avoid that is to NOT compile stuff manually (especially not in /usr, there's /usr/local for that) especially when it's already in the repositories. [17:32] What should a person learn to help developing ubuntu and the open source community? what programinglanguage etc?. [17:32] lbd: so what about you go and find the files that belong to your manually-compiled stuff, remove them, and then install things the right way? [17:32] okay. what's the package name for apache? [17:32] apache2 [17:32] Pici: at least kubuntu shouldn't take so long, does it? [17:32] cool. thanks [17:32] Sulle: c/c++/python is a good start =) [17:32] pingviller25: strange, ok can you do a sudo dpkg -i ./yourdebfile (dot slash) [17:33] !packages > lbd (lbd, see the private message from Ubottu) [17:33] lbd, please see my private message [17:33] LjL: well, no. I have installed newer versions which weren't available in the repos [17:33] Slart, thnx =) [17:33] !info apache2 | balz [17:33] balz: apache2 (source: apache2): Next generation, scalable, extendable web server. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2.8-1ubuntu0.3 (hardy), package size 43 kB, installed size 100 kB [17:33] lbd: well, you're still on your own if you do that - especially if you don't install to /usr/local [17:33] outbackwifi: http://pastebin.com/d1bf3d861 [17:33] deever: I'm not sure about studio (#ubuntustudio should have more info), but I think Kubuntu should be at the same time or very closely afterwards. [17:33] hi, is there somebody who know command to hibernate which using gnome-panel in intrepid. woks perfect and i need it for openbox [17:33] Pici: ok, thx! :) [17:34] zajca: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid/8.10 support/discussion. [17:34] LjL: how do i do that? no problem really, i still have the compiled files (haven't done any make clean), so i only have to do make install [17:34] Pici, ok [17:34] zajca: have you searched the ubuntu forums? [17:34] or better, make unistall and then make install again [17:34] how do i tell my drivers that my television runs at 50Hz so it doesnt come up as black and white when i dual screen? [17:34] lbd: you need to ./configure with the right PREFIX (./configure --help). with most programs, that's /usr/local by default, but. [17:35] hey guys, question about 8.10 release, I read that the beta had problems with nvidia binary not being support on xorg 7.4, will this sill be an issue with the release tomorrow? [17:35] pingviller25: this is pretty weird but does double-clicking on that deb bring up gdebi? [17:35] Slart: woot, it worked, i just had to push the sleep to about 6 seconds!!, thanks again man. [17:35] Slart: oh, in the end, all it took was the & at the end [17:35] outbackwifi: well it says I may not have the permissions to install it, or the file is corrupt [17:36] hi to everobody [17:36] pingviller25: ah there you go; the file is corrupt [17:36] but I thought the sudo dpkg command would prompt me if the file was indeed corrupt [17:36] pingviller25: dunno, what does file filename tell you? [17:36] Hi! I cannot play audio. If I play a video, I can see it, but I do not hear the audio. MPlayer freezes and the other ones such VlC and Kaffeine just play the video. I have sound in the computer becuase if I see a youtube video, I can hear it [17:36] xtian__: that did it? hmm.. didn't work my little test script.. well.. glad it works for you.. [17:36] LjL: the problem is that in my case, I needed the bleeding edge version of JACK and there is an app called timemachine which requires jack, but I don't want to uninstall the compiled version for the old version which is in the repos, since JACK is actively developed and many things change version by version [17:36] xtian__: make a not of the command setsid for the next time.. it looked useful [17:37] actually im not sure that it was even the &, it might have just been the sleep command [17:37] recently i am experiencing 100% cpu usage on ubuntu gutsy with a pentium m when i try to run games through either wine or native linux builds.. any ideas what is causing this? ati + fglrx [17:37] outbackwifi: http://pastebin.com/d3ebe4734 [17:37] how do I change default mount options (for nautilus or in general)? [17:37] because as I looked it more, it wasnt having problems closing out, it was having problems with the device not being fully registered [17:37] hi ! can someone tell me how i use the time command with diff formats ? when i try the example commands i always get -f command not found [17:37] Slart: because as I looked it more, it wasnt having problems closing out, it was having problems with the device not being fully registered [17:37] can somebody help me to setup the VPN-connection on Ubuntu 8.04? [17:37] GoD^spyteman: not surprised a pentium M is running flat out trying to run a game .. in wine or otherwise [17:38] lbd: uhm, but Hardy comes with JACK version 0.109.2, which according to their website, is the last version [17:38] xtian__: ah.. might be some flag in /proc to look at.. if one wants to do it "the proper way" =) [17:38] pingviller25: what can i say, download again and try !! [17:38] Slart it has been working for 3 years without any problems, the problems appeared in the past few days, possibly with new kernel header files or something? anyway, it has been running perfectly fine for a long time before but i'm not sure how to fix it or what to look for [17:38] Spree_afk: server or client? [17:38] LjL: forgot to say that i'm still using gutsy [17:38] hey guys, question about 8.10 release, I read that the beta had problems with nvidia binary not being support on xorg 7.4, will this sill be an issue with the release tomorrow? [17:38] outbackwifi: I'll do that, seems really wierd though :( [17:38] Slart: what is the "proper" way? use a daemon or something? [17:39] Slart: or have the script run a loop until the flag is set? [17:39] GoD^spyteman: ah.. well.. there was a kernel update.. perhaps something broke .. [17:39] lbd: then request a backport [17:39] !backports > lbd (lbd, see the private message from Ubottu) [17:39] lbd, please see my private message [17:39] xtian__: yes.. run a loop, checking the flag every second or so.. [17:39] xtian__: you can use daemontools to daemonize [17:39] Slart could it help to update fglrx? or how do i fix it if it is a kernel problem? [17:39] lbd: anyway stuff that's in /usr/local should take precedence over stuff in /usr, so you might just install the jackd from APT [17:40] GoD^spyteman: there was a wine update too.. but then you said it was the same for native stuff.. [17:40] Slart: how would i begin to look in /proc for a flag like that? [17:40] outbackwifi: downloaded again, to a new filename, same issue all over again [17:40] xtian__: I wouldn't just look around.. I would try to find some documentation on udev [17:40] Slart i'm using wine 1.0 from the website, not from repositories [17:40] oh [17:40] does m$ access 2003 run under wine? oo.org base doesn't cut it for courseowkr :( [17:40] pingviller25: is there an md5 sum that you can check it against? [17:40] outbackwifi, I want to connect the Internet with VPN-connection [17:40] !appdb | matthew_ [17:40] matthew_: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [17:40] Slart: im not doing that, haha, it was hard enough to get this thing working like i want [17:40] GoD^spyteman: I have no idea how to do stuff with ati cards.. never had one [17:40] outbackwifi: nopes, afraid not [17:40] pingviller25: also whats the link, let me also try [17:41] http://www.opensound.com/download.cgi [17:41] anybody know where rtorrent.conf is located? I've tried /etc/rtorrent.conf and /etc/rtorrent/rtorrent.conf [17:41] well this makes no sense. Everything seems able to connect to this box, but it refuses to mount any shares...??? [17:41] xtian__: hehe.. [17:41] Spree_afk: what is the server type? [17:41] LjL: so what you're trying to say is that although the dependencies will be satisfied, i will still be using the newer version of jack? [17:41] Slart what i mean is: could this kernel update have broken my gfx card drivers? i know how to update etc, just wondering if this would actually do anything.. [17:41] ssh tunnels are a godsend [17:41] Slart: you said you run a GSM modem, do you have it start automatically when you plug it in? [17:42] lbd: yes, although i cannot really *guarantee* that, but it *should* be the case [17:42] GoD^spyteman: a kernel update might very well break the graphics driver [17:42] Slart ok i will try and update these then [17:42] can someone tell me why i cant use options after time ? [17:42] LjL: alright then, thanks [17:42] xtian__: hmmm.. I've used my cellphone for internet together with my laptop, yes [17:42] lbd: you could also grab the source package (but the Ubuntu source package!) from Hardy, and backport it yourself - with most programs, that's easy [17:42] or how i use them ? [17:42] thanks for your help Slart [17:42] do you use pppd to connect? [17:42] xtian__: but that was using bluetooth.. and gnome-ppp.. nothing special fancy [17:43] GoD^spyteman: you're welcome to what little there was =) [17:43] lbd: just add the Hardy Universe component to your sources.list, "apt-get update", then "apt-get build-dep jackd" and "apt-get --build source jackd" (then remember to remove the hardy repo when you're finished) [17:43] xtian__: and I had to write some long things on a terminal window before I got the connection up [17:43] pingviller25: works fine for me; in fact tells me that --> package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386) [17:43] Slart: i am using usb and pppd, its pretty cool, i used udev to detect when the thing is plugged in by vendor and product id, then have it run the startup script [17:43] outbackwifi, pptp [17:43] outbackwifi: ok I guess I'm bugged out for real then :P [17:44] hey guys, question about 8.10 release, I read that the beta had problems with nvidia binary not being support on xorg 7.4, will this sill be an issue with the release tomorrow? [17:44] Slart: im assuming your pppd peer file and chat script? [17:44] xtian__: sounds neat [17:44] !intrepid | linuxkrn [17:44] linuxkrn: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Introduction and new features: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/810rc - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, NOT #ubuntu - Discuss and party in #ubuntu-release-party [17:44] I run Apache on my pc. I can serve normal websites (php), but for some reason I cannot view a normal xml file via the webserver. Anybody have any idea why? [17:44] xtian__: no, mostly weird bluetooth connection stuff... hci bla bla.. irconn bla bla long weird hex numbers and stuff [17:45] outbackwifi: said the exact same thing when I downloaded the i386 package as well :S no mismatch or nothing, just the way you saw on my pastebins [17:45] LjL: cheers [17:45] LjL: here is the result of the last apt-get update cmd -> http://pastebin.ca/1239820 [17:45] Spree_afk: install network-manager-pptp package first [17:46] LjL: sorry it took so long had some problems with the last pastebin. [17:46] pingviller25: are you on hardy? [17:46] for gaming what would you guys recommend build a new PC for games or get a gaming console [17:46] outbackwifi: yes [17:46] md22: !ot, !best [17:46] ironfoot_495: ok, now try "sudo apt-get -f install ; sudo apt-get install evolution" [17:46] pingviller25: are you on a restricted shell or something? [17:46] Slart: cool, well thanks again [17:46] xtian__: you're welcome [17:46] LjL: ok [17:46] md22: get a gaming console [17:47] md22: get a pc =) [17:47] outbackwifi: not afaik, I'm the admin and running on my personal user [17:47] md22: Please join #ubuntu-offtopic for non-ubuntu questions. [17:47] ok Pici [17:47] outbackwifi, i done it. But after that there is no appear the icon of vpn properties in my network manager [17:47] outbackwifi: I'll try clearing the cache for firefox and download it again in case it's just messing around with me. [17:48] Spree_afk: it appears on mine [17:48] is there any quick and easy way to convert a live CD image on a USB drive or SD card to a regular image? [17:48] pingviller25: try downloading with wget [17:48] ideally, i would like to change a few files and not go through the installation proceedure [17:48] especially the partitioning part [17:48] LuYu: mount it using loop device and chroot the mountpoint and change whatever you want [17:49] * outbackwifi if thats what you want [17:49] hmmm [17:49] right [17:49] but what specifically has to be changed so that saved files remain persistent [17:49] and if i install stuff, will that be added to the compressed image? [17:49] i am having an issue routing ssh traffic over an openvpn link, using iptables to nat, would anyone here have experience with this? [17:50] LuYu: there is a howto on persisten usb image on the ubuntu forums; a quick search there would show up [17:50] ive looked at it [17:50] outbackwifi: still get the exact same error when downloaded with wget and then: sudo dpkg –i oss-linux-4.0-1016_amd64.deb [17:50] and the persistent page seems to require creating two partitions [17:50] LuYu: and that wouldnt work? [17:50] and installation [17:51] i just want to convert the already working CD image on the drive [17:51] it boots fine [17:51] How do I enable core dumps in Ubuntu? 'ulimit -c' seems to have no effect. [17:51] how do i make it writeable? [17:51] LjL: http://pastebin.ca/1239827 [17:51] LuYu: i guess they call that installation in ubuntu [17:51] LjL: still not working ? [17:51] I searched Google for the error that bash is giving me, but none of the forums where the question was posed included an answer. [17:52] i was hoping not to have to go through an install [17:52] outbackwifi: starting to think my ubuntuinstallation is wierded out for real, I've had insane issues with Wine that normally is no problem what so ever in any way :S maybe a fresh start would help... started two days ago when my windows broke down during upgrade to newest ZoneAlarm.. since then the problems just kept multiplying in every way and ruining boot records and bios and the whole works [17:52] how do i check what architecture i have? [17:52] I'm attempting to debug a C++ application, so being able to load the core in gdb would be handy. [17:52] also, there are no instructions for just installing to a single partition without formatting [17:52] pingviller25: hmm, you could go to /var/cache/apt/archives pick any deb from that and try running the dpkg -i command. if that freaks out, you're outta luck [17:53] I am thinking of getting a 24" screen for my laptop. Will the laptop be able to use the highest resolution (1920x1200) even though the card is a Geforce go 6200 using the VGA port? [17:53] ironfoot_495: i'm kind of out of ideas [17:53] considering the fact that quite a few SD cards break when partitioned, the instructions are risky [17:54] LjL: I know what you mean that's why I was so frustrated when I opproach you guys?(smile) what do we do now??? [17:54] LuYu: i have found that sandisk sdhc cards work quite well [17:54] h2o: I think most cards handle almost anything 2d you can throw at them.. but check out the manufacturers site.. there has to be some docs there [17:54] i had trouble with sandisk a few years ago and have refused to buy them since [17:54] maybe theyre better now [17:55] but right now, im just working with what is sitting around the house [17:55] LuYu: i got a 4G SDHC and used it to install ubuntu on my eeepc [17:55] and i would rather not destroy a disk if i dont have to [17:55] what im trying to do is [17:55] just run off the SD [17:55] h2o: http://www.nvidia.com/object/gfgo6_techspecs.html [17:55] LuYu: thats possible too [17:55] i havent found a way to keep the software i want on the eeepc yet [17:56] Slart: Nvidia claims the card can output up to 2000something with 86Hz using VGA [17:56] Slart: I was mostly concerned whether the monitor would handle it [17:56] what i am saying is that i would rather convert the current image to a persistent one than go through the installation proceedure [17:56] !karm [17:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about karm [17:56] !fishing [17:56] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [17:57] question: If I don't want to software upgrade to Intrepid, would I get updated packages of thrid-party sofware (example, OpenOffice or WINE) or only core and security patches? [17:57] LuYu: sorry; that seems to be out of my current abilities [17:57] outbackwifi: http://pastebin.com/d65ff2fea that actually worked just like it should :P [17:57] mine, too [17:57] thats why i was asking ;-) [17:57] h2o: well.. that would depend on what kind of monitor you're getting.. check the specification for the monitor.. as far as I could tell from that nvidia page your card should handle resolutions up to 2048x1536@85Hz [17:58] hi guys, is there any way to dual boot ubuntu and the linux that comes with the eeepc ? [17:58] hahahaha [17:58] pingviller25: wow! now thats really weird. is your internet connection coming thro a proxy? [17:58] we were just discussing that [17:58] abe3k: can't see how it would be a problem dualbooting with anything [17:58] SD card [17:58] Slart: The monitor should handle 1920x1200, but I was a bit worried about this whole VGA/DVI-business... [17:58] Azhi_Dahaka_: the former, except for any backports [17:58] its easy to install a live CD [17:58] Anyone knows when 8.10 stable will be available? [17:58] !backports > Azhi_Dahaka_ (Azhi_Dahaka_, see the private message from Ubottu) [17:58] Azhi_Dahaka_, please see my private message [17:58] is there a software for ubuntu that will let me convert videos to mpeg4 format to place on my G1 Google Phone? [17:58] !intrepid > Napster (Napster, see the private message from Ubottu) [17:58] Napster, please see my private message [17:58] abe3k: yes [17:58] but persistent images are more difficult [17:59] Cha0sOS: vlc [17:59] it converts [17:59] that resolution and higher can be had over VGA h2o [17:59] h2o: hmm.. yes.. there's supposed to a limit to what the VGA connection can handle..

[18:08] LjL: why not? [18:08] from a terminal, how do i go into root again [18:09] btw, it says it can't find the package CUPS. I know for a fact I selected "print server" to be installed during the installation [18:09] balz: because a few packages probably depend on it. perhaps it would be better to avoid starting it. [18:09] Shuyler: ulimit -c allows them, what are you expecting to generate a core dump? [18:09] v0lksman, outbackwifi: it's "cupsys" not "cups" [18:09] "lol" [18:09] hahaha [18:09] LjL: tx [18:09] cup [18:09] One more day :) [18:10] Shuyler: for example ; ulimit -c 500000; sleep 5000 & kill -7 %1 you'll get a core dump [18:10] what [18:10] * outbackwifi 20 mins [18:10] AlabamaHit: yes, we KNOW.

[18:12] * outbackwifi is not [18:12] scampbell: no real need to chain sudo and su, "sudo -i" will give you a root terminal === noodlesgc_ is now known as noodlesgc [18:12] BlackMetal: my point was not that -- i dont want to install from a CD, i have a bootable CD image on an SD card, and i want to convert that image (preferably while it is running) to be a persistent image -- if possible, i would like to retain the compressed filesystem [18:12] okaygo: on my laptop i press fn+f8 [18:12] okaygo: on some it is fn+f7 [18:13] i doubt if there are any instructions for that specifically [18:13] ah ok [18:13] hi all. why does Linux have two separate clipboards? it's confusing. [18:13] mine was fn + f4 [18:13] sweet! umount -l /dev/sdwhatever [18:13] LuYu: ok. I hope these pages can help you, i haven't done it myself, but yay, it's pretty specific [18:13] jspiro: because of historical reasons, but as long as you stick to always doing ctrl+v and ctrl+c (or the equivalent menu entries), you shouldn't have to worry about that [18:14] LjL: I work on lots of flavors of unix so I tend to the forms that work most commonly but you are correct for Ubunto current version. [18:14] why does my Ubuntu play the flute when I resume from suspend? [18:14] LjL: but I can't do Ctrl+C in emacs. [18:14] hi, can anyone tell me how i give myself permission to move files?? [18:14] MarcC_: play the flute?? [18:14] jspiro: no but if you're using it in gnome-terminal you can definitely right click and copy [18:14] ingmar_: sudo mv [18:14] LjL: gnome-terminal is another annoying case [18:14] ok my next question is, how do i get my monitor to display a resolution of 1680x1050 [18:14] outbackwifi: yeah, it plays six times the same note when I resume from suspend...like a beep, except it sounds like a flute [18:15] scampbell: if you aren't using "sudo", then that certainly won't work, but if you *are* using "sudo", then "sudo -i" will work no matter what distribution [18:15] I originally came in here because I'm having trouble getting java to work with firefox, but why the hell is xchat highlighting me in every line? [18:15] jspiro: i think there is an option, somewhere (although it might be in KDE, don't remember) to make the two clipboards into one [18:15] LjL: that is incorrect. check AIX and HPUX, they don't support -i. [18:15] anybody know how to help me my trash bin says i dont have rights to empty it now... and i've been using the same account since i first installed this and i only have one... [18:15] LjL: why isn't such an option on by default in Ubuntu and Gnome? [18:15] goose so you know when you're talking [18:16] hi all [18:16] jspiro: might help...not sure though http://www.nongnu.org/autocutsel/ [18:16] noodlesgc, no, it's highlighting EVERY line. everytime ANYONE say ANYTHING, even without my nick in it [18:16] jspiro: probably because other people prefer having the two separate clipboards...? [18:16] Hey there folks [18:16] jspiro: also I think Glipper or clipman will merge them [18:16] * outbackwifi thinks somebody's gose is cooking [18:16] i have a problem importing a java package in ubuntu [18:16] !hi | RinTinTigger [18:16] RinTinTigger: Hi!

[18:17] !ask [18:17] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [18:17] noodlesgc, figured it out. for some reason, I had space in my extra highlights [18:17] v0lksman: does glipper ship with ubuntu or must i apt-get it? [18:17] next problem, java crashes my firefox [18:17] RinTinTigger: are you looking for a general social chat channel? [18:17] LuYu: i don't know if this page can help you : http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_to_a_USB_Flash_Drive#Convert_.iso_to_USB_installation [18:17] goose: opera ;) [18:17] jspiro: I think you will need to install it. but its in the repo (last I checked) [18:17] goose: launch firefox from terminal; when it crashes telll us what the error message was [18:17] jspiro no i have a hardy problem [18:17] outbackwifi, already did: http://pastebin.com/f2a90ca03 [18:17] LjL: v0lksman: thanks [18:18] Hello....

[18:18] starn, try: sudo rm -rf /home//.local/share/Trash/files/* [18:18] BlackMetal: thanks [18:18] :) [18:18] RinTinTigger: so ask away. But don't say "how are you" because your responses use up 600 packets each time. That costs a small but noticeable amount of bandwidth. [18:18] LuYu: np :D [18:18] RinTinTigger: :) [18:18] looking at man chmod and understanding nothing, sudo chmod -R 777 sdb1 ok, -R is rekursive the whole directory, sdb1 is the whole disk2, but what does 777 mean [18:18] RinTinTigger: your lines are echoed to 600 computers around the world. [18:19] goose: you seem to be using gcj; can you try to use sun-java and see if that causes ff to crash too? [18:19] linkinxp: Are you using the intrepid RC? [18:19] jspiro: Ok, my bad. I cant get no sound with hardy 64 bit [18:19] yes uff wrong place [18:19] jspiro: i thought more like 1413 [18:19] thanskl [18:19] outbackwifi, I installed sun-java via synaptic, but same crash. but I didn't intsall gcj. could that crash it? [18:19] LjL: dunno, i've lost count. :) [18:20] linkinxp for Intrepid, ask in #ubuntu+1 [18:20] which reminds me: do IRC servers merge packets which arrive within 0.5 sec of each other? if not, why not? [18:20] noodlesgc, thanks [18:20] RinTinTigger: don't ask me then, I don't do 64 bit. re-ask to the whole channel :) [18:20] goose: could be cos ff is still using gcj === dxh is now known as huertanix [18:20] guys does anyone know of any good ubuntu distros suitable for an iBook G4 apart from xubuntu and fluxbuntu? [18:20] @Channel: i cant get sound from my hardy 64bit [18:21] !sound [18:21] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[18:22] hey i am trying to vnc into a box using terminal server client [18:22] ILoveYouMan: They may have some ideas on the subject in the #ubuntu-powerpc channel [18:22] Hi, hoes anyone use "T'WM" ? [18:22] *does [18:22] is mbps the same thing as MB/ s? [18:23] no [18:23] ohhh [18:23] thanks! [18:23] b-bits B-bytes [18:23] i installed xtightvnc [18:23] balz: MB/s is megabytes per second. "mbps" is usually meant to say "megabits per second" [18:23] when i type sudo rm -rf /home//.local/share/Trash/files/* it says no such file or directory [18:23] balz: B=(b * 8) [18:23] !trash | starn [18:23] outbackwifi, it no longer crashes, it now says there's no software installed to handle the applet and wants me to reinstall cgj. I already installed sun-java6-bin and sun-java6-jre, should I need anything else? [18:23] starn: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [18:23] and the error i get is is vnc server supports 4.0 (client 3.3) [18:23] !trash [18:23] chmod: cannot access `sdb1': No such file or directory [18:23] Any suggestion for my problem? [18:23] how do i update xtightvnc to 4.0? [18:24] Dryanta: why do you want to do that? :) [18:24] genii: B is used to measure disk space, correct? [18:24] Does anyone use TWM oder fluxbox oder flwm? [18:24] dustofdust: you can run that command on a mounted drive not on the partition [18:24] Dryanta: oops [18:24] jspiro: because i cannot vnc into the server i need to vnc into [18:24] balz: it can be used to measure anything... [18:24] * jspiro goes to look at scrollback [18:24] right, but generally one talks about harddrives in terms of MB, not Mb, correct? [18:24] balz: measures in bits, however, are often used for telecommunications (transfer rates) [18:24] balz: B is Byte which is 8 bits. Whatever can be measured in this way. Speed, space, or so on [18:24] goose: type java -version it should print out jre version if installed [18:25] balz: right, but also about RAM, filesizes, etc [18:25] hey guys, sometimes when i switch users with fas user switch it goes to the terminal and never comes back to gdm [18:25] Dryanta: what version of Ubuntu are you using? [18:25] outbackwifi, 1.5.0 [18:25] i use a intel-hda soundcard, figuered out the right model, configured the alsa-base, but no sound at all [18:25] okay. good i'm just trying to cap upload speeds on rtorrent, so i wanted to make sure i was using the right units [18:25] so 8b = 1 B [18:25] makes sense [18:25] * jspiro sympathises with lucax. sounds like a horrible bug [18:25] heron [18:26] Excuse me, I got C2D 1.8 ghz Mac mini with 4 gigs of ram, would the latest Ubuntu kernel support 4 gigs of ram or is it 3 just like the others? [18:26] And [18:26] balz: in networking though, it's customary to multiply by 10 (even though 8 is technically right), due to various, err, bits of overhead [18:26] What lightweight DE can you suggest I use, since I will use this computer to NX from (like VNC but faster) from school and home, to work on.. [18:26] Hi... I am trying to setup FreeNX. I just wonder what is the default GUI in an out of the box installation of Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04? [18:26] Dryanta: could you please check for me the versions listed at http://packages.ubuntu.com/xtightvnc [18:26] sudo chmod -R 777 sdb1 didnt work i get chmod: cannot access `sdb1': No such file or directory [18:26] How can I put my digital movies (made with digital camera) onto a DVD that someone could watch on their tv with DVD player? [18:26] i remember i had to modify something in gdm for solving this but i dont remember what i did [18:26] Redbullie: Gnome is the default DE.

[18:32] anyone here know about "Prolific PL2303 usb to serial adapter driver"? [18:32] okok [18:32] outbackwifi, that'd be a good thing to check, wouldn't it ;P brb [18:32] Excuse me, I only 'see' 3gb of ram when I got 4gb in there, I am using hardy on a Mac mini with ubuntu 64 Hardy. I can see all 4gb in OS X [18:32]  Wich desktop do you use? [18:32] desktop? [18:32] would this work as a .sh script?" gksudu rm -rf /home/starn/.local/share/Trash/files/* "for i am lazy [18:32] !poll | nothing12345 [18:32] nothing12345: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [18:32] lucax: don't ask *me*, ask *everyone* :) if no answer, try www.ubuntuforums.org [18:33] outbackwifi, it doesn't give me an error or crash, it says that I need to install GCJ to use java [18:33] goose: weird [18:33] fast user switch does not go to other uses account, it freezes, any one with the same problem? [18:33] I need GLibc2.3. How can I install it on ubuntu? (I can't find it with apt-cache) [18:33] hello [18:34] !hi | AngelwingedDevil [18:34] AngelwingedDevil: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [18:34] how do i find the ip for my machine outside of the wan ip, i want to log onto my gentoo box at home via my computer at school when i get there [18:34] the monospace font that comes as default for ubuntu, where can I get it for windows? [18:34] outbackwifi, yeah, I know. I don't really consider myself a *total* noob anymore at linux, which is why this problem is so frustrating [18:34] MoonlitFate: if nobody helps you after 5 min, try channel #xubuntu (it's quieter) or the ubuntuforums website. [18:34] michaeldisieno: /join #gentoo, we only support Ubuntu here [18:34] michaeldisieno: http://whatismyip.com [18:34] AngelwingedDevil: copy the file to your windows PC [18:34] Joker_-_: glibc 2.3...? the C library, libc6, is always installed by default [18:34] jspiro: realvnc doesnt show up on synaptic? [18:34] Pici: its a general linux question, dont see why my distro should matter [18:34] Hello [18:34] Dryanta: please hold, i will investigate [18:34] Joker_-_: gave it a shot, only shows wan ip :( [18:34] jspiro: thanks, didn't know they used the same filetypes :p [18:34] Joker_-_: it's not version 2.3, it's version 2.7, and you cannot change that [18:35] jspiro: Okay, thank you. If no one does help then I will do that. :) [18:35] hello [18:35] LjL: dunno, I get an error with a plugin and everywhere I look it tells me that th eproblem is that I dont have glibc 2.3 [18:35] AngelwingedDevil: if that doesn't work, ask again. [18:35] AngelwingedDevil, there's also a monospace font for windows called 'Lucida Console', if you just need monospace text, rather than the font itself [18:35] michaeldisieno: thats what you need [18:35] hi [18:35] Joker_-_: well, maybe that plugin was compiled for that version of glibc, however you can't install that (unless you want to break every other program you have, which wants 2.7) [18:35] Joker_-_: you should find a version of that plugin that's compiled for your Ubuntu release [18:36] Dryanta: try any of the clients listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC#VNC%20Clients. do they work? [18:36] Joker_-_: which plugin would that be anyway? [18:36] LjL: I wish there was, it's a very, very old and unsupported program :( [18:36] LjL: mainly, I'm screwed? [18:36] can somebody help me i install ubuntu and now want to install win xp on another partition, but then its not possible to boot ubuunto by the win bootloader anymore :( [18:36] Joker okay, then the issue must be software wise, i have openssh installed, and the ssh daemon running, but no luck [18:36] michaeldisieno: ##linux exists for general linux questions. [18:36] Joker_-_: perhaps you can find a version of it with libc statically linked...? [18:36] Pici: alright, ill go there then [18:36] hi, I'm trying to use wicd to connect to a WPA Enterprise PEAP-TKIP wireless network, but don't know what to put for the required "Path to CA Cert" field. Is there a way to pull the cert used by the AP, or how can I get this path? [18:36] Grey_Loki: I like the font [18:36] michaeldisieno: I'd say the issue is your port forwarding... router... google on that [18:36] Jspiro, I would have just dual-booted Ubuntu, but I get errors when I boot it with the live CD... which don't really make sense. ><; [18:37] LjL: I've been googling on that for what... 5 hours... I seriously don't think theres anything more I can do [18:37] LjL: I'll simply give up I guess [18:37] jspiro: where are the fonts in ubuntu located? [18:37] AngelwingedDevil: dunno [18:37] AngelwingedDevil: they are probably named with a .ttf extension [18:37] outbackwifi, I think I might have figured out a solution. sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-* && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-* === francesco is now known as Guest81154 [18:37] Joker_-_: Dapper came with libc6 2.3 [18:38] Joker_-_: you might try using Dapper in a virtual machine, if that's important to you [18:38] goose: you could try that [18:38] outbackwifi: wait === root_ is now known as frankster [18:38] outbackwifi, I'll let you know if it works or not in 300 MB [18:38] outbackwifi: try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall sun-java6-* [18:38] L( [18:38] outbackwifi: it's faster. [18:38] jspiro: huh? [18:38] Joker_-_: are you sure there's no source code to compile, either? [18:38] LjL: dapper hey... Aight I might try that. thx for the help. [18:38] jspiro, I'm having the java problem, not outback :p [18:38] jspiro: thats for goose [18:38] LjL: bout the source, dunno, I'd have to check for that [18:38] Joker_-_: what are you trying to do? [18:38] jspiro: vinagre no worky [18:38] Dryanta: what error? [18:39] LjL: with source I could re-make and have it working with newer libc? [18:39] authentication method not supported [18:39] jspiro: trying to have some very very old pluggins to run with a newer system [18:39] Joker_-_: sure, you should (unless the source has other problems) [18:39] outbackwifi: oops [18:39] irc://irc.seilen.de [18:39] goose: try this, it's faster: sudo apt-get install --reinstall sun-java6-* [18:39] jspiro: np [18:39] Fenrirsclaw: are you spamming? [18:39] btw it's not vital at all, it's some very old counter-strike mod (amx-mod)... === frankster is now known as phranklin08 [18:39] I just wanted to make a cs server on an old box ;) [18:40] jspiro, too late, already started apt-get remove java-sun6-* && apt-get install java-sun6-* [18:40] Joker_-_: what is the email address of the plugin author? [18:40] goose: oh well :) [18:40] not really i just use this client for the first time and thought i can type my wish network into the comm line [18:40] test [18:40] Joker_-_, CS pwns [18:40] ... [18:40] phranklin08: it worked. please do not test here. test in channel #test [18:40] Dryanta: dunno what to say [18:41] Dryanta: keep trying different clients. Or different servers. [18:41] jspiro: I think it's djeyl [18:41] Dryanta: I recommend you use vino and rdesktop. They work well together. [18:41] jspiro: yes, it is djeyl that made this plugin [18:41] goose: it does, havent played it for... ages ;) [18:41] Joker_-_: why not email them and ask them to make the mod work on current ubuntu? :) === alberto is now known as Guest59746 [18:42] jspiro: vino is a server [18:42] jspiro: he hasnt supported it for like 4 years but... it might be worth a shot to ask ;) [18:42] i need a client [18:42] Dryanta: where is the server? [18:42] Joker_-_, Crossover was running a promo yesterday that they were giving away their software free. I can now use Steam very natively and smoothly in linux <3 [18:42] osx box [18:42] Joker_-_: also, if you have the source, you could take over maintainership. It's a fair bit of work though. [18:42] goose: doesn't steam work in wine? [18:43] jspiro, yesish, but Crossover is the $300 version of wine [18:43] jspiro: I,m very very buzy ;) I work something near 85 hours a week so I dont think I'd be a very active dev for that ;) [18:43] jspiro: besides, I dont even know whats the language used in that? is that c++? [18:43] Joker_-_: probably [18:43] aye [18:43] i have another system without HDD. i want to run Ubuntu Live CD in that system and doenload files. the files must be downloaded to the USB drive connected to that system. [18:43] Umm. [18:44] I can only have one device using audio at a time. [18:44] jspiro: I suck at c++ :( [18:44] intermediavishnu: could you please change your nick to something easier for me to type? [18:44] Joker_-_: you don't have to know any c++ [18:44] ok === intermediavishnu is now known as ime [18:44] i.e. I have to kill FX to listen to MPD [18:44] Joker_-_: you need only recompile [18:44] ime: thanks :) [18:44] ok [18:44] jspiro, your TAB key is broken? :) [18:44] can i do that [18:44] can I have applicatoins share hte audio? [18:44] ime: what is the problem? stick in a livecd :) [18:44] I have a Dell E157FPT (touch screen) are there any special driver's or anything? The mouse isn't clicking where the finger taps and not sure how to fix it. [18:44] jspiro: yeah, but to maintain and correct errors, I'd need to play in the code and if it's not very documented, I'm screwed... anyway, Ill drop him a mail and see what happens [18:45] LjL: not mine. but some supporters don't know how to use TAB :) [18:45] my old system have no HDD [18:45] jspiro LjL : thx for the help guys [18:45] Joker_-_: get him to post the code online. what errors? it has errors? [18:45] ime: you can buy a HDD for US$50 [18:45] if everything fails, I'll use dapper... or fire ;) [18:45] i tranfered my old HDD to my new system [18:45] ime: buy a 20GB HDD. [18:45] jspiro: I dont know, I dont have the source yet, but I bet there will be errors ;) [18:45] Joker_-_: but they are unfixed [18:46] Joker_-_: leave them unfixed. just build it with newer glibc, then release online. [18:46] i want to just test it. [18:46] ime: to test what? [18:46] jspiro: ill try to get the sources from djeyl and see what happens [18:46] jspiro: thx again [18:46] !evtouch [18:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about evtouch [18:47] has anybody here ever used rtorrrent? I'm trying to set it up to use a SOCKS proxy, but i can't find any information on the subject [18:48] my old system does not have a monitor or keyboard or mouse. it is connected to my system directly through Cross over cable. (CAT 5). i want to control that system through TELNET or SSH or some thing like that. does Ubuntu live cd supports any of these features [18:48] igfoginnnn [18:49] Hey guys [18:49] Cna I have my apps share my audio?

(CAT 5). i want to control that system through TELNET or SSH or some thing like that. does Ubuntu live cd supports any of these features [18:49] ime, afaik no sshd by default on hte livecd [18:49] ime: sort of. [18:50] ime, you can get it with apt tho :P [18:50] ime: what danopia said.

For some reason it doesn't seem to be reading that [22:24] I need help installin ubuntu hardy heron from hard disk [22:24] I installed an ATI driver for x64 hd3200, which I have.

[22:25] I used the ordinary grubfor dos method but it kept checking for the cd [22:25] Ta1: why are you using hardy? [22:25] Slart: srry, inputted into the Network gui Interface config area [22:26] What do you people think about that? : http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/27/1212214&from=rss [22:26] Neeeewbee: you're using wireless then? don't know too much about that.. sorry [22:26] Apparently, ubuntu is getting slower and slower [22:26] ldiamond: tell it to the people in #ubuntu-offtopic.. *hint* *hint*... [22:26] @Passion, I had a hard time using aticonfig last week, my fix was to uninstall all the graphical shizzle and use the restricted driver install provided by ubuntu.. [22:26] not really a fix, but it's all I know ;) === Daisuke-Ido is now known as Daisuke_Ido [22:27] wireless wired, does it matter? I just want to know which config file to use to tell Ubuntu to use this INFO, not anything else..? [22:27] ldiamond: Apparently, Ubuntu is refocusing on making the desktop faster. [22:27] Hello I need help installing ubuntu 8.04 from hard disk [22:27] Thanks anyways Slart. ;) [22:27] I think ubuntu's file read/write is amazing.

[22:28] I used the ordinary grub method and I could boot the iso image but it kept asking for the cd [22:28] good thing wireless is one of the key issues in intrepid ;) [22:28] Ta1: Make a partition on a hard drive, copy the content of a Ubuntu live CD to it, add the Grub entry to point to the initrd and the vmlinuz, off you go [22:28] I did that [22:28] but the installation stops at chcking for cd === Guest74077 is now known as Xjs [22:29] I dont have the install here in front of me, but isnt there a way you could specify where to find it? [22:29] Or add the .iso to the hdd [22:29] I went to ubuntu archive and downloaded the vmlinuz and initrd.gz from the hd-media section [22:30] has anyone successfully converted h264 mkv with dts audio to mpeg4 avi with ac3? I'm getting something really confusing as a result with ffmpeg and mencoder in both hardy and intrepid.

Everthing I've seen is how to do stuff through the gui. Which doesn't do any good when stuff doesn't work like it should. [22:31] Neeeewbee: hehe... well.. the only info I can help you with is the !wifi command.. don't know if it will help much though [22:31] !wifi [22:31] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:32] ahhhhh nicest [22:32] I just want to know, what can I do when I get to checking for cd during installation [22:32] Oh..

I can't get my video to work and i worry for my machine's health. [22:33] Honestly I thought I would never switch from windows but a couple things are holding me back.

Good experience even when it's painfull.. :) [22:34] thx Neeeewbee - found the FixVideoResolutionHowto and doing the dpkg-reconfigure did... something [22:34] like delete most lines in the Monitor section - so now I could choose 800x600, works great [22:34] Was that towards me neeeewbee? kk.

[22:37] In 8.10 will be radeon drivers. [22:37] I have ati graphic card [22:37] They are promised) [22:37] #ubuntu-es [22:37] it doesn't show my videos right [22:37] So I will wait one day more) [22:38] define not right [22:38] how do you change ip address? === TomTom is now known as Guest64544 [22:38] but when I change driver in xorg.conf from fglrx to ati [22:38] Is 8.10 going to be available like tonite? or really only tomorow? [22:39] it becomes right but then my visual effects get disabled [22:39] Idiamond, nobody in here knows (or tells) [22:39] I will wait) [22:39] ldiamond: what timezone are you in? [22:39] hey guys [22:39] ldiamond, with a little google action you can have it when you want [22:39] Eastern US [22:39] ttthijs, do u have any idea what this is about? [22:39] Gun_Smoke? [22:39] intrepid is out on 30th October, which timezone is that? [22:39] its technically the 30th in australia [22:39] Gun_Smoke: not just yet you cant :D - the official ISO's aren't up yet. [22:39] Well here in greece is the 30th now [22:40] sitMajid, what happens if you turn the visual effects back on? [22:40] dimitris: exactly, this is my point [22:40] hello alls [22:40] ttthijs, it says they can't be enabled [22:40] Is there a difference between installing 8.04 then upgrading and installing 8.10 directly? [22:40] 30th isnt exactly a thing, as servers can be accessed round the world in different timezones where it is the 30th [22:40] I find that it is usually officially released when its the 30th UTC time [22:41] sirMajid: did you enable the "restricted drivers" ati drivers? [22:41] or did you use another way? [22:41] So I guess we'll have to wait then :-) [22:41] ldiamond: upgrades can t be problematic but if have issues just wipe clean and do a clean install === giuseppe is now known as Guest59855 [22:41] ttthijs, actually, when I change the xorg.conf as I said, my graphic card in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers becomes "not in use" [22:42] If the iso is available at 0h00 UTC, its going to be released in 1h15 [22:42] ttthijs, where are "restricted drivers" ati drivers?

[23:22] dooglus, but the video player uses flash [23:22] LjL: I have "deb http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse" [23:23] saywatmang: right.
