[00:00] woody86; http://conky.sourceforge.net/docs.html -- this may help [00:00] carlinhos: one moment, checking [00:00] Hello all, I have a Buffalo NAS and would like to view the shares on it on my Ubuntu laptop, I know the IP for it but don't know how to do it. [00:01] RAdams: perfect, look for "modeline". I dont know if is that what you need... [00:01] Maltor124: I have to tell you, I don't recognize the 'quiet' thing you have in your menu.lst [00:02] how do I set my universal proxy settings to "direct internet connection" in terminal? [00:02] - because I have to start up the GUI if I want to use IRC for example [00:02] ecclesiastes_: Think that may be it? The link you gave is from 2004, and I doubt it's still applicable...? What might the quiet do? [00:02] - and that's cause I've set some weird proxy config so I can use my comp at uni [00:02] ok, how do i display all the information pertinent to my wireless card, i.e its driver, manufacturer, etc. [00:03] ecclesiastes_ & Maltor124: quiet supresses certain bootup information. it's harmless [00:03] What do i "apt-get" to be able to compile .c and .cpp files? [00:03] CoRnJuLiOx: how is it connected to your computer? [00:03] RAdams, its in my laptops miniPCI slot, i believe [00:03] also, how do you put stuff in the buffer in console mode? [00:03] YlandeFaran: build-essential should have all you need, but check the gcc utilities as well for additional tools: apt-cache search gcc [00:04] YlandeFaran build-essential [00:04] CoRnJuLiOx: try sudo lspci [00:04] RAdams: I have seen it as a boot directive but not as a grub directive : http://paste.ubuntu.com/68121/ [00:05] - and if there's not a way, and you simply have to write to a file to get info in another console, how do you paste the info from that file into the command line (so it can be executed as a command) ? [00:05] ecclesiastes_: we talking line 85 here? [00:05] !oneline | Tyrath [00:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about oneline [00:05] RAdams, thats the thing, i can't tell which of the two network cards it is. one says Network Controller: Intersil Corp. Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset, and the other one says Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82801CAP (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) [00:05] fail, robot [00:05] !enter | Tyrath [00:05] Tyrath: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:06] ethernet = wired :) [00:06] CoRnJuLiOx: ^ [00:06] ok [00:06] thanks [00:06] CoRnJuLiOx, it's the first one [00:06] how do i tell which driver it's using? [00:06] RAdams: line 130, 141 [00:07] RAdams: I just haven't seen it before. [00:07] how can I extract files to /usr/src/ it's saying I don't have the right permissions? [00:08] woody86; use sudo [00:08] ecclesiastes_: it's like the opposite of the "debug" argument... it supresses every message from the startup screen except fatal errors [00:08] building from source but don't know how to sudo? scary... :| [00:09] bastid_raZor- and what command? I'm trying to do it through FileRoller [00:09] what are community themes [00:09] RAdams, how do i tell which driver my wireless card is using? [00:09] I cannot connect to my wireless internet. When I put in the right key, it tries to connect but then doesn't, and asks for the key again. I am certain this is the key. http://nopaste.org/p/agZoQKaEab is the dmesg. http://nopaste.org/p/afZsIuauF that's what happens when I do iwconfig. http://nopaste.org/p/apfU5ocBm and that is an lspci. [00:09] woody86; you could start fileroller from terminal with gksudo fileroller [00:09] bastid_raZor- Thank you very much :) [00:09] Hello all, I have a Buffalo NAS and would like to view the shares on it on my Ubuntu laptop, I know the IP for it but don't know how to do it. [00:10] bastid_raZor and woody86: gksu, not gksudo, there is a difference [00:10] Hi all there, I have a sound drivers problem. I have a motherboard (asus p5n32 sli plus) and the sound was working, then I install a new creative xfi and trying to set the xfi I broke sound :( Now, i have not audio at all, any clue?

Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [00:11] ecclesiastes_: That's better, I'll look at it. Thanks. :D [00:11] bastid_raZor: sorry, you're right. it's the old (old, old) kdesudo kdesu difference I'm thinking of. ignore me, my brain is full of cobwebs [00:11] RAdams- bastid_raZor- either way, neither gksu or gksudo is doing anything [00:11] I can't find it in the network [00:11] Anyone figure out the problem with X and 2 X sessions??

[00:13] bastid_raZor- ok, nevermind, it was file-roller, not fileroller, thanks :D [00:13] ecclesiastes_: That's what I've done before, but I guess it can't hurt to try again. I'll give it another whirl. I'll be gone for a bit while I restart. [00:13] M1DLG: you isn't it serving windows shares? do you reach its web interface?

[00:39] :) [00:39] i just installed flash in 8.10, but sites like pandora.com that use flash for their players, dont produce any audio output for me, but the tracks are playing, and the sound seems to work everywhere else [00:40] carlinhos, thats what you should have gotten http://paste.ubuntu.com/68145/ [00:40] Spherous: Greek to me.

[01:09] Guest62417: the rpm is a package format used by other nix distros; the tar files are the actual source code which you would have to compile which might be trouble if you are new to linux [01:09] fuffwork: Sure.

[01:10] jrib, more or less and to test my system :D [01:10] karsten, is there any way of figuring out which it is? other than buying new ram and checking that? ;p [01:10] fuffwork: If memtest86 is erroring (or frequently: failing and crashing), you've usually got some pretty significant system bugs. [01:10] fuffwork: bad timing settings in your bios, or broken hardware [01:10] fuffwork: What cliechti said: overclock or related might also be it. [01:10] the one thing i notice is that in memtest it's reporting my ram as 5-5-5-18, my ram is 4-4-4-12 [01:10] ok what is scrollkeeper? [01:10] could that be doing it? [01:11] fuffwork: memtest86+ errors generally point to RAM. Try removing one or more sticks. Might be mobo or CPU as well. [01:11] what is scrollkeeper? [01:11] fuffwork: Is the box under warranty? [01:11] karsten, the box is just a bunch of parts, the ram has lifetime warranty tho [01:11] what does the blue i mean in the bluetooth preferences? [01:11] what is scrollkeeper?

Is there a way to just enable a root user since my sudo appears broke [01:12] what is scrollkeeper? [01:12] jrib: interesting. i have that other box that has memory erros at times too. hm.. [01:12] How do I stop the annoying error noises? [01:12] Zackfett: try google fi you dont get an answer here ;-) [01:12] fuffwork: general test is remove and test half of RAM, or one stick at a time. How long it takes to trigger errors has something to do with the testing process. === irc is now known as Guest1855 [01:12] Zackfett, for gods sake can't you google that? [01:12] no. [01:12] karsten: I got stumped just a few minutes ago on a grub problem .. I appreciate your help. Could you let me me know if you need to drop the question? [01:12] fuji: we can fix your sudo. pastebin the contents of /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname [01:12] firefox isnt opening [01:12] fuffwork: If you can swap in all new RAM and still have errors, problem is other than (or more than) memory. [01:12] How do I stop the annoying error noises? ( for example when i press backspace in terminal when nothing is there. ) [01:13] Cluber: it's due to the pcspkr kernel module [01:13] ive tried for days to get an answer to my problem. no has even tried [01:13] Cluber: ubuntu version? [01:13] Cluber: sudo rmmod pcspkr [01:13] what is scrollkeeper? [01:13] what is scrollkeeper? [01:13] what is scrollkeeper? [01:13] Zackfett: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:13] ecclesiastes_: What's the question? [01:13] Guest1855: if you had asked a question, someone may have been able to help. Instead I just read your last statement instead [01:13] anybody know what the two icons between add and delete buttons mean in the bluetooth preferences? [01:14] !ask > Guest1855 [01:14] Guest1855, please see my private message [01:14] karsten: can I rm the module? I can't see any other way to uninstall it. [01:14] I have a dualboot win xp and Ubuntu 8.04 PC. I upgraded to 8.10 via internet. After rebooting I noticed the cd/dvd drive is missing in ubuntu. Only showing hard drives. I rebooted and from the GRUB menu selected the previous kernal. cd/dvd shows and works just fine as before the upgrade. Rebooted again to new kernal and once again the cd/dvd player is missing. [01:14] does anyone know how to completely remove folding at home from my computer? [01:14] Zackfett: you dont make friends acting like that... scrollkepper is indexing you disk for documentation. you can kill that process if its holding up your upgrade [01:14] How do I enable .c and .cpp-file compiling on Ubuntu? [01:14] ecclesiastes_: Try a rename. 'mv .disabled' [01:14] Guest1855: pastebin the contents of dmesg [01:14] ecclesiastes_: ... you can undo that trivially if needed. [01:14] YlandeFaran: install the build-essential package [01:14] woody86, it would depend on how you installed it. [01:15] YlandeFaran, sudo apt-get install build-essential [01:15] crtoe: worked a treat. [01:15] Hey guys, me again. I've been having problems with .avi files in Intrepid. Is there possibly a diffrent .avi decoder I could use to probably solve this problem? Or am I missing something? [01:15] Horray! Thanks. :) [01:15] crtoe: Thanks. [01:15] beli: no luck sadly, same result. got the exact error message for you now though [01:15] dr_willis- I think it was just the Ubuntu wiki for the folding team, but I'm not sure exactly how [01:15] OddlotX4, avi is a container.. the video itself could be any of several dozen codecs. Install the w32codecs page. [01:16] beli: Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/ does not exist. Dropping to a shell! <-- that's where it drops me to initramfs [01:16] woody86, if you used the pacakge manager to iNstall. you use it to uninstall.. if you followed some other docs.. you would need to check those docs [01:16] Hello, i m using Ubuntu Server latest version as guest host. i dont know somehow my connection are not working in guest operating system. is there anyone can help to fix that. thanks [01:16] dr_willis: w32codecs you say? I'll give it a shot. [01:16] Cluber: no problem [01:16] !codecs [01:16] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:16] !codecs > OddlotX4 [01:16] OddlotX4, please see my private message [01:16] Does anyone know how I can set js0 to be a specific device located in dev/input/by-id ? [01:16] Thanks guys. [01:16] snowveil: udev has some hooks for coding that. [01:17] OddlotX4, or try mplayer, it plays almost anything you throw at it. [01:17] How do i make it so that when I highlight something in the terminal, it automatically puts that selected text into the clipboard? [01:17] Cluber: X does that automatically. [01:17] What is X [01:17] Cluber: left-button + highlight == copy. middle-button == paste [01:18] Cluber: Linux's GUI. [01:18] Cluber, theres the 'clipboard' then theres the X selection.. :) the 2 are often set to be identical [01:18] well when i highlight, it doesn't copy. [01:18] anybody know if beli went afk? [01:18] Cluber, highlight, then middle click.. is one easy way.. thats a differetn 'buffer' then the clipboard in some setups [01:19] Cluber, theres also some clipboard tools you can run to tweak how it works.. gclipper is one I think [01:19] is there anyone who can help to fix connection? [01:19] !info gclipper [01:19] Package gclipper does not exist in intrepid [01:19] karsten , can udev be used as a terminal command or will I have to edit udef.conf? [01:19] *udev.conf [01:19] dr_willis: w/o c [01:19] Thanks! [01:19] hmm, would ram timing be something i can usually change in the bios? i can't seem to find where the setting is [01:19] glipper - Clipboard manager for the GNOME panel [01:20] fuffwork: is it a laptop? === irc is now known as Guest85805 [01:20] nope, desktop [01:20] how do i format external hd in command terminal [01:20] jrib: in response to the broken sudo: http://pastebin.com/m4560ebbf [01:20] snowveil: udev is the overall system used to manage device files. It's configured mostly through some stuff under /etc/udev/ [01:20] l0newolf: hmm ok [01:20] fuffwork: it usually is there, might not be offered by your motherboard for some reason though [01:20] King: man fdisk mkfs [01:20] beli: ah, you saw the messages then. [01:21] lonewolf: would the setting actually be 4-4-4-12, 5-5-5-18 etc? or are those summed up by another sum? [01:21] Alright, the MPlayer didn't solve the problem. [01:21] The main problem is that the video flickers. [01:21] king fdisk it to partiion it. mkfs to format, or use gparted for a gui :) if ya want.. [01:21] fuffwork: that's RAM timing as far as I know, depends on the RAM what the timing is by default [01:21] the only memory speed setting i can find is "system memory mulitipler (spd)" [01:22] cp /home/danny/Desktop/pgtools/ /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages why doesn't this command work. The error is "omitting directory `/home/danny/Desktop/pgtools/'" [01:22] dr_willis: i used gparted and it didn't work [01:22] OddlotX4, what gpu you have? [01:22] va1912wb in ubuntu 8.04 help [01:22] l0newolf: then we need to do more :) just do the same steps i told you before...but after the chroot is done, do a full upgrade: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [01:22] dr_willis: i got errors [01:22] king i would imagine you used it wrongly then.. or have other issues.. [01:22] Cluber, cp copies files by default. u have to use cp -R to copy directories recursively [01:23] l0newolf: your kernel/initrd/fstab seems to be inconsistent [01:23] beli: same steps? I don't remember them all >_< [01:23] Ah ok [01:23] fuji: ok. You need to add "luna" to the end of the "127.0.1.1 luna.aniza" in your current /etc/hosts. To do this, reboot and select "Recovery Mode" from the grub menu, then "root shell". You may use 'nano /etc/hostname' to edit the file. ctrl-o to save, ctrl-x to exit. Then reboot [01:23] Skry^: Radeon 2600XT, PCI-e. [01:23] king or after partioning the disks you MIGHT need to 'reboot' to make the changes get seen. [01:23] dr_willis: i wouldn't put it past me [01:23] Cluber: learn about "cp -r". for python libraries, better look for a setup.py and run "python setup.py install" or use PYTHONPATH envirionment variable [01:23] dr_willis: i want to install two distros of linux and have them boot of external hd [01:24] Does anyone have bootchart installed? [01:24] Ashex: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [01:24] cliechti: So putting files into site-packages isn't a good idea? [01:24] King installing to a external usb hard drive.. can be very tricky depending on the hd/machine bios. [01:24] heh [01:24] dr_willis: new the partitioning thing and have a 250g harddrive want to split for two distros and rest storage [01:25] bootchart installed, but no bootchart command and no long in /var/log/bootchart [01:25] log* [01:25] l0newolf: boot livecd..open a terminal, type: sudo bash; then: mkdir /tmp/root && mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /mnt/root && chroot /mnt/root && apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [01:25] Cluber: the idea is not bad. but i'd try to use a setup.py if there is one. [01:25] Ubuntu on PS3? [01:25] And I've gone through a couple boot-ups since === ne2k___ is now known as ne2k__ [01:25] King ive never done such an install. theres docs on doing it however I recall.. check the !install wiki page [01:25] jimmacdonald, yes. i hear its doable [01:25] OddlotX4, does mplayer -vo x11 file.avi work? [01:25] jrib: so change that line to say "127.0.1.1 luna.aniza luna" [01:26] I haven't a clue why it's not working [01:26] dr_willis: do u have a link [01:26] just did a reinstall and still don't have the command [01:26] king tell the bot !install :) note the ! -> its a bot command [01:26] the command 'should' generate a pretty image for me [01:26] !install | king [01:26] king: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[01:32] Out_Cold; are you wanting to upgrade to intrepid? [01:32] andresj: deluser USER GROUP [01:32] good night people!!!!!!!! nice text lines ;) [01:32] no i want 2 packages from the intrepid repos [01:32] Out_Cold: you can't mix repos safely [01:33] i know [01:33] Out_Cold: use hardy-backports [01:33] Out_Cold: get them off LP [01:33] Out_Cold: but ... i wouldn't. [01:33] which one.. [01:33] ashex: and it needs a kernel option added to /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:33] i trust the packages i need [01:33] Out_Cold: it's not a matter of trust [01:33] Is there a site I could use to download drivers? [01:33] OddlotX4, yeah, but it doesnt change the fact that your video drivers are broken. thats a known bug in ati drivers and there's fix coming. [01:33] Alright, one last simple question. How do I change the default video player to vlc? [01:34] Vienna-Away: drivers for? [01:34] !defaultapp | OddlotX4 [01:34] OddlotX4: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations" [01:34] yes pidgin got my account name correct this time [01:34] so what's the addy i add to add the repo? [01:34] Skry^: I noticed ATi doesn't exactly have good drivers for much anything in the firstplace. [01:34] Drivers such as Sound, video etc. [01:34] Out_Cold: you aren't listening :/ What packages do you want exactly? [01:34] Vienna-Away: linux comes with all that [01:34] Out_Cold; you're probably going to break your install. [01:35] libguichan and tmw [01:35] Why is it I gotta pay for Linux Mint and i dont have to for ubuntu :| [01:35] if i do i'll take the loss [01:35] OddlotX4, true :) luckily i'm using nvidia ^^ [01:35] Vienna-Away: you don't "gotta" pay [01:35] anyone heard of a program called "PaX"? [01:35] I have a problem in burning cd's, the burning process keeps failing, it keeps giving an error message telling me that the failure was probably due to overburning the cd. Please help. [01:35] helllo,everyone [01:35] hello free [01:36] how to study kernel? from which book? === linux_ is now known as sadgd [01:36] Thanks for solving my problems guys. Much appreciated. === sadgd is now known as bradleyd [01:36] could anyone tell me how to study netfilter? [01:37] lievenmoors, I assumed that dpkg did that when it ran update-initramfs. According to an article I read on bootchart, it includes a script called bootchart that is dropped in /usr/bin that generates the png [01:37] OddlotX4, but hey, if you see updates to ati when upgrading, try changing x11 back to xv as it is accelerated and x11 is not. [01:37] just a random question [01:37] hey guys ... earlier today i ran fsck which finished properly .. since then when i try to boot i get an error message stating that the file system is read only... any ideas? [01:37] can ubuntu itself without firewall block "ping flood"? [01:37] yo [01:37] booksbuggy: there's no way to truly block a ping flood. [01:37] er, this is weird [01:38] well i did with mcafee and windows [01:38] /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/bootchart calls busybox [01:38] before somehow [01:38] booksbuggy: no, you just think you did. ;) [01:38] with Intrepid, are there any special settings for laptops to get suspend to work? [01:38] well i did [01:38] since the whole network was flooded at my house [01:38] laptops with nvidia cards [01:38] and my computer was just slowing down [01:38] and it only had 256 ram [01:38] booksbuggy: you can choose to drop the packets and not respond to them, but that doesn;t mean the packets aren't flowing over your connection. [01:38] without crashing [01:39] well i don't know [01:39] ashex: there is no script like that installed with this package, but it works [01:39] booksbuggy: IOW, just because you stick your fingers in your ears doesn't mean the room really goes quiet. ;) [01:39] just trying to replicate the same thing on ubuntu [01:39] does anyone know anything about read only errors when booting? [01:39] bastid_raZor, the repo addy? [01:39] ashex: with java [01:40] I have a problem in burning cd's, the burning process keeps failing, it keeps giving an error message telling me that the failure was probably due to overburning the cd. Please help. [01:40] Out_Cold; i don't know, i still use 8.04 [01:40] well i am crazy because i block everything else that i don't normally use in windows [01:40] lievenmoors, shouldn't the package setup the kernel entry along with init script? [01:40] so i am trying to replicate the same thing [01:40] anyone on intrepid?? [01:40] so the computer might slow down but doesn't crash [01:40] Out_Cold: you do not add the repo. you get the packages off Launchpad. and you should NOT do that. [01:41] yea i know i 'shouldn't' but it's my compy... and it's only gonna cause me grief.. [01:41] does anyone know how i can install the new ubuntu from a disc without wiping the files/progs already on my system? [01:41] mneptok: well i don't actually try to ignore what people are saying [01:41] Hello. How can I create [01:41] mneptok: I read everything [01:41] Hello. How can I create 'guest' user accounts for my laptop? Thanks! [01:41] booksbuggy: i think what you should really do is try to figure out who is pingflodding your home network. you have a rogue device somewhere. [01:41] Omar87, so, did you try to overburn? :) [01:41] there's no man for bootchart either :( [01:41] mneptok: well that was before i reinstall the system [01:41] thomasite, i just took the lazy way and did 'sudo adduser guest' - thats just an user account with the guest name. :) nothing real special about it. [01:42] well it was about 2 years old anywyas [01:42] anways [01:42] thomasite, there is a guest session feature also.. but i never use that. [01:42] I want to get Linux Mint but it says I have to pay =( [01:42] Skry^: Huh? [01:42] Okay. Thanks a lot, doctor. :) [01:42] Vienna-Away, you are proberly looking at the wrong place. its free last i looked.. but i wouldent bother with it, [01:42] ashex: well I checked now, and I don't see a kernel option [01:42] anyone know how to get x chat to work? [01:42] why not dr_willis? [01:42] Vienna-Away; all Mint is .. is a modified version of Ubuntu. a new theme and icon set. nothing more [01:42] or just what port does it use? [01:42] Oh. [01:42] ashex: do you have a /var/log/bootchart dir? [01:43] booksbuggy: have a look at Firestarter in the repos; it has options for ICMP filtering [01:43] hey guys ... earlier today i ran fsck which finished properly .. since then when i try to boot i get an error message stating that the file system is read only... any ideas? [01:43] Does anyone know how to get xrdp working? [01:43] you dont have to open ports to use xchat [01:43] well i use guarddog [01:43] having to hard drives one setup as /dev/sda with / and /boot on it and the other /dev/sdb with /home; would there be a performance boost by using /home/ftp on /sdb as opposed to /ftp on /sda? [01:43] is it possible that Ubuntu would let us download other applications? :o [01:43] lievenmoors, yeah, but there's nothing in it [01:43] Vienna-Away; allthe applications it uses are the same as regular Ubuntu.. [01:43] Vienna-Away, #1 reason. You wont get any support for it in here.. #2. its not got features really worth bothering with.. #3 - theres nothing it does that you cant do with normal ubuntu. [01:43] ashex: ok [01:43] actually i use both because i am a security freak [01:43] guarddog and firestarter [01:43] Vienna-Away, and it is free http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php [01:43] I've done two boots since installing it so there should be something in it [01:44] Damn you Guys are amazing! [01:44] actually make pretty good combos when configured correctly [01:44] You guys are doing a great job handling all these question. ;o [01:44] Skry^: No, I didn't try to overburn. [01:44] !cookie | dr_willis [01:44] dr_willis: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [01:44] hehe [01:44] if I dump a whole bunch of new .deb files in /var/apt/cache/archives then will it scan those .deb files before hitting the debian ftp repositories? [01:44] Vienna-Away, and yes. i have used Linux Mint for some time.. its nice in some ways.. If you were on a stand-alone-no-internet system.. i would say try it. [01:44] learned that today [01:44] ashex: you didn't switch kernels? [01:44] dr_willis, the thing is I cant Download it, I was wondering if i could get a cd [01:44] Omar87, ok, i guess you're using brasero? [01:45] Vienna-Away, that url has a link to direct download it.. [01:45] lievenmoors, nope [01:45] Vienna-Away; download it then burn to cd [01:45] Vienna-Away, #4 reason then.. :) you can get ShipIT cd's of Ubuntu [01:45] :) [01:45] Skry^: I actually tried them both, brasero and k3b, they both fail. [01:45] i have a problem installing ubuntu server, i am connected to ethernet, but i have to keep on restarting in /etc/init.d/networking restart to make it connect and download updates or anything [01:46] hey guys ... earlier today i ran fsck which finished properly .. since then when i try to boot i get an error message stating that the file system is read only... any ideas? [01:46] I have some packages that failed to install, how can I tell apt-get I'm no longer interested in installing those apps? [01:47] I'm using ecryptfs-utils and stupidly wrote my stuff to ~/.Private instead of ~/Private. Now I can't access (less/cat, mv, cp, and chmod) it ('Input/output error'). Only ls and rm work, of what I've tried. Anyone know a way to recover the data? [01:47] all my firefox addon toolbar buttons disapeared and aren't in the list anymore !!!!!!!!!! [01:47] Omar87, brasero is not working for me either so.. can you get any log out of k3b? [01:48] Skry^; k3b gives you a log after a burn; success or fail [01:49] pretty detailed huh [01:49] is there a such thing as an apt-get queue? I need to clear it [01:49] how do you know you need to clear it if you don't know there is one [01:49] Skry^: I'm trying to burn again using brasero, and I got a log from it now.

I am having this problem with Nvidia Restricted drivers. They worked fine until I install my Hauppage 1600. Now the dirvers will not install. Tried both the 177 and the 173's. Any ideas? [02:06] currently I have 480 megs of ram (full to the rim) and 512 megs of swap, pretty full too [02:07] Dominik, your system only has 480 Megs installed? [02:07] hmmm [02:07] lievenmoors, so, for some reason it's not calling /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/bootchart [02:07] all my windows are always laccking decorations, i switched to metacity and back im im still getting the prob [02:07] I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu. Installer goes blank upon loading Ubiquity. I have tried by taking out quite from the options and adding nospash noapic irqpoll noirqdebug, have also tried vga=773 and xforcevesa. Any help? [02:07] zeroDamage: yes, can Ubuntu not deal with low mem systems? [02:07] XUbuntu is less demanding, I think [02:08] hey guys, im having some real frustrating issues with Wolfenstein ET only running in the lower lefthand corner of the screen as shown here: http://www.dximages.uni.cc/files/1/screenshots/IMG00027.jpg [02:08] Dominik, that is not enough RAM really for decent performance. You will want to use Xubuntu probably. [02:08] It will run but not like it should [02:09] lievenmoors, do you have a /bin/busybox? [02:09] ashex: what is it? [02:09] zeroDamage: why is ubuntu so resource intensife? how much ram is necessary? also, it works fine when it was just booted, problems manifest themselfs when I come back to the laptop after it has been sleeping for a while [02:09] lievenmoors, it's a command [02:09] I'm trying to narrow down what could be causing the issue [02:10] ubutu's confusing, i'm going back to mac [02:10] I don't have /bin/busybox and the script calls it [02:10] Will i be able to sync and add applications to my ipod touch without itunes being on ubuntu? [02:10] you can just type /bin/busy and hit tab to see if it completes it [02:10] i can install it if i know what it is. i don't have it [02:10] Anyone have an idea? [02:10] ok === Skry^ is now known as Skry_ [02:10] lievenmoors, I just needed to know if it existed === Skry_ is now known as Skry^ [02:11] Anyone have any experience with the Hauppage 1600 and Nvidia restricted drivers working together? I am at my whits end here. [02:11] ashex: ok sorry [02:11] having deleted my id_rsa.pub ... and now needing it, i have to ask is the public - key= in id_rsa.keystore my public key? [02:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements according to that page I should be fine [02:11] hi folks, just wondering if anyone can shed some light on what I consider to be quite a common use-case scenario with permissions: [02:12] how can i get my XF86AudioRaiseVolume to raise the volume of the channel selected in mixer_applet2 instead of master [02:12] we have a web server with various clients (unix users) on it [02:12] Will i be able to sync my ipod touch without itunes being on ubuntu? [02:12] we want a single unix user to have permissions to edit any clients files [02:12] Dominik, disable some stuff. go to the session applet in the System menu and disable the tracker and blue tooth stuff [02:12] tell amarock to Vienna [02:12] !amarock [02:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about amarock [02:13] it's amarok [02:13] so we've set that user to be part of the client's groups [02:13] !amarok [02:13] Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface.

Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok [02:13] Dominik, and also remove Evolution using the Synaptic package manager. Just pay attention to what else it is removing. A couple pieces you want to leave as they are integrated into the desktop [02:13] anyone here only have 256 ram installed? [02:13] thanks Skry [02:13] np [02:13] but there seems to be no way of enforcing permissions... [02:13] Okay thanks. [02:13] have any of you guys just love to use ubuntu due to the ease at which you can auomate tasks and the ability to get free devlopment tools but still love to play games that can currently only play in windows.how do you gamers in here handle it [02:13] umask is just a mask... some sftp clients can set permissions [02:13] tanc: huh? can you explain what you want on a single line? [02:14] !offtopic [02:14] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:14] why i apt-cache search libmysqlclient15off get nothing? [02:14] ok sorry, will do... one sec... [02:14] true ubuntu is nice with most office features [02:14] hmm [02:14] Skry^: I've just reported a new bug with my problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/294480 [02:14] So, only thing I can think of [02:14] BeeBuu: what ubuntu version? [02:14] hello can anyone tell me how i can make ibex run faster? when i am printing for example, the mouse skips in the screen [02:14] jrib: 8.04 [02:14] is there's a bug with bootchart where it will only update the initrd image of the standard kernel [02:14] and not server kernels [02:14] shiki9, i only play d2 and doom3 on pc, but check out wine and cedega wich bot allow you to play (some) windows games on linux [02:15] BeeBuu: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy libmysqlclient15off [02:15] booksbuggy: however, it's too bad that OpenOffice.Org is still not as tough as MS Office is.. -_- [02:15] Skry^:i tried wine but the game just started and froze [02:15] Omar87: well it is a bit harder to configure than ms office [02:15] Omar87, ok so it didnt work for you. It seems that there's something evil going on with wodim (which brasero and k3b are gui for) so you could try and compile cdrtools yourself. [02:15] but it is free [02:15] the game is dead space [02:16] apt-cache policy libmysqlclient15off show nothing too [02:16] Anyone familiar with the Hauppage 1600 PVR card giving issues with Nvidia drivers? [02:16] weird [02:16] BeeBuu: for me to help you, you have to do what I said [02:16] Skry^: how do I do that? [02:16] ashex: maybe you could try to do the steps manually, if you know how it is done [02:16] jrib: i had. [02:16] BeeBuu: link? [02:17] shiki9, yeah, most of the games do not work. you could google if someone has got it working somehow. there's online database of what works and what doesnt at wine site. [02:17] Omar87, wait a sec there's guide somewhere in forums.. [02:17] if i wanted to make a bridge br0, and add eth0 and tap0 to it, and make it work how do i make that work in ubuntu?(the commands for that setup on another distro don't have a working result. [02:18] a well i guess i'll just continue to play them in vista and miss the gnome desktop :( [02:18] booksbuggy: yeah, and it also lacks some other features, like some special characters.. etc. [02:18] Anyone familiar with the Hauppage 1600 PVR card giving issues with Nvidia drivers? [02:18] Omar87: it does have special characters though [02:18] shiki9: may be u can give virtualbox a try [02:18] i recently found some [02:18] lievenmoors, I'm going to try rebooting and use my backup kernel, which uses the standard generic kernel [02:18] or xVM [02:18] see if that does anything [02:18] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/10386 [02:19] Omar87, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5552555&postcount=5 hope this helps, otherwise i'm out of ideas ;) [02:19] hi [02:19] BeeBuu: that's one of the three things I asked for. Also, please prefix your commands with "LC_ALL=C" so I can understand the output [02:20] ashex: good idea [02:20] unable to install nvidia drivers [02:20] fx5200 [02:20] !nvidia | pawan [02:20] pawan: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:20] Will the "volume scroll wheel sticking on the Toshiba U300 and U305" ever get fixed ? [02:21] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/10387 thanks. [02:21] booksbuggy: yeah, but not all of them. For example, I have powerpoint siled for the Algorithms course I'm studying in college this semester, and one of them contains long curly brackets, and the don't appear in OO.O at all. [02:21] i am using 8.10 [02:21] I'm trying to trim a 3ivx video to remove the video before a certain point and after another. I need a command line, since the GUI video editors work really adly on my Eee's small screen. Can anyone showme a command line that will do this with ffmeg or mencoder or something like that? The docs have me baffled. [02:22] Hi everyone, I use Xubuntu and I'm looking for a package for reading the PPS files. Is anyone can help me please? [02:22] BeeBuu: You need all of this please: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy libmysqlclient15off [02:22] unable to enable it [02:22] ok, problem if anyone can help: permissions for group access on a web server: server contains many (unix) users. We want a single (lets call him webadmin) user to be able to access all other user's files. To do this we add our webadmin user to the other user's groups. Then all user's files that we want editable by webadmin need to have 775 permissions set. This is fine most of the time but problems occur with sftp and untarring files [02:22] jrib: apt-get update i had done....... [02:22] Is there a way I can force gnome-mouse-settings to use the values I add into my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [02:23] BeeBuu: I need to see the output! And your /etc/apt/sources.list ! [02:23] Skry^: Thanks man. :) [02:23] displays status not in use [02:23] jrib: please wait, [02:23] I knew it! [02:23] my appologies for the flapping :( [02:23] Time to file a bug [02:23] can anyone tell me how to make ubuntu faster? [02:23] Omar87, np ;) [02:23] Anyone familiar with the Hauppage 1600 PVR card giving issues with Nvidia drivers? [02:23] firecrotch, what version are you running? (okay, sounds dumb, but ...) [02:24] jrib: maybe you can get a good one to me? [02:24] i can't get my nvidia 8600gt to do separate X screens... i used to have this working in feisty -> hardy [02:24] brantly_medders: you can search for the option that makes X use xorg.conf for input devices (search for "hal" in 'man xorg.conf). Or you can migrate your settings over to fdi files. See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config [02:24] BeeBuu: can you just pastebin yours? [02:24] nvidia-settings doesn't configure the separate X screens correctly. plus it's not detecting the max res on my default monitor correctly. [02:24] jrib: pasting... [02:25] are there fixes for the problems ibex still has with rlt8187b chipsets? [02:25] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/10388 [02:25] Rugxulo ibex, whenever i run firefox + transmission + ooo my ubuntu becmoes very slow [02:25] BeeBuu: you don't have hardy main. Use System -> Administration -> Software Sources [02:26] how do i gat compiz to work i have had problems with 8.10 before [02:26] i have a nividia [02:26] video card [02:26] jrib: that's my server,no GUI. [02:26] firecrotch: OO.o is a hefty program. [02:26] firecrotch, OO.o is quite bloaty software, and firefox can be quite resource-intensive as well. What specs does your machine have? [02:26] holy hell [02:26] readahead is totally misconfigured [02:26] pardon the language [02:27] jrib: would you teach me add something it that? [02:27] got bootchart to generate a png by using standard generic kernel [02:27] firecrotch, disable everything running in background you dont need and/or buy more mem :P [02:27] firecrotch, you should also look at your resource usage when this is occurring. i think it's just system monitor in gnome. kde just hit ctrl-ecs [02:27] and readahead delays the actual startup by a full 30 seconds [02:27] ctrl-esc === firecrotch is now known as satan [02:28] hey guys, why do my niced processes never take any more than 50% of my CPU? [02:28] arrgh === satan is now known as Guest75682 [02:28] Hello, i need to prevent Ubuntu from treating .php files as executable. How can i do that?

[02:28] Skry^ thanks [02:28] hello all--I recently p2v'ed my work desktop. copied it to a usb disk, then reformated and installed ubuntu 8.1 then installed vmware workstation 6.5 and reloaded the p2v'ed desktop [02:28] Anyone familiar with the Hauppage 1600 PVR card giving issues with Nvidia drivers? [02:29] arrrghhh most resource usage comes from firefox and ooo [02:29] end result was that logging on was slow as molases...seemed like it was unable to get to some component of active directory [02:29] geeksquad: anyone who listens === Guest75682 is now known as satanas [02:29] Rugxulo: yes, I have a 4-core machine running 50 processes, each of which should be taking up to 100% of a core [02:29] don't use Firefox then, use Opera (or w3m or dillo or lynx or elinks or ...) [02:29] however running the same vm under a windows xp installed on the same box inside workstation 6.5 worked find. [02:30] in top, i would expect to see nice hovering at 100% per core [02:30] Guest75682, well there's your problem ;) I'd recommend switching over to Xubuntu, running Swiftfox instead of Firefox, with adblock plus and noscript [02:30] insta: I'm pretty sure niced programs are supposed to yield processor to others [02:30] and don't use OpenOffice, use Abiword, Ted, Emacs, VIM, etc. [02:30] but instead it pegs straight at 50.0% and the idle stays at 50.0%, per core [02:30] Why does "syntax on" in the .vimrc file not work? [02:30] For text editing, iono - my system is beefy enough to handle OO.o, so I use it [02:30] proving it has somthing to do with ubuntu or the linux install of vmware...any ideas what might have been the issue [02:30] YlandeFaran: have you installed "vim-gnome" ? [02:30] Grey_Loki sorry they changed my name... but i love gnome! [02:30] Guest75682, 256 is way too less. try abiword & epiphany instead for replacement. [02:31] Hey folks. Are htere any known upgrade problems from patches released today or yesterday for intrepid? I've suddenly had all my groups erased from /etc/group [02:31] Sajuta: yield, yes. but the machine isn't doing anything but crunching these numbers for me. i want it to use 100% of the available CPU resources and yield only when it needs to [02:31] jrib: I haven't done it intentionally. But it might have slipped thorough in the installation. [02:31] which is what nice SHOULD do [02:31] * satanas used to be Guest75682 [02:31] after i install b43-fwcutter is there anything else i ahve to do ? [02:31] if i renice the processes it will use 100% of user CPU and i'll have 0% idle [02:31] satanas, 256MB of RAM isn't really enough for Gnome - try something lighter like E17, blackbox, XFCE et al [02:31] I installed KDE onto my machine and have since decided to take it off... was hoping there may be a way to erase my ubuntu OS and reinstall without having to have any removable media... there any chance of this? [02:31] who knows a good bash scripting tutorial for a nine year old who is Really smart [02:31] YlandeFaran: I mean you need to install vim-gnome (or some other more complete vim package) as only vim-tiny is installed by default [02:31] geeksquad, one moment, I have one in my favourites [02:31] I think [02:31] insta: Huh. I'm honestly not sure why it would do something like that. [02:31] satanas, if you only have 256mb of ram that's your answer. spend $20 and get a gig. [02:32] jrib: aha, well that explains my trouble. :) [02:32] Do you recomend vim-gnome? [02:32] Sajuta: check this out: [02:32] Cpu0 : 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 50.0%ni, 50.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st [02:32] Cpu1 : 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 50.0%ni, 50.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st [02:32] geeksquad, http://subsignal.org/doc/AliensBashTutorial.html [02:32] (the other two cores are like that) [02:32] satanas, you might want to try xubuntu. or you could use epiphany as a browser and abiword for ooo replacement. Or just buy more ram, it's cheap nowadays [02:32] =/ [02:32] anyway to clean up an install without removable media? [02:32] arrrghhh ok [02:32] irc://irc.rizon.net/Instantz [02:32] need help with a viewsonic wide screen in ubuntu 8.04 [02:32] can someone in college understand this [02:32] oops [02:32] sry [02:33] Sajuta: but, 'load average: 50.00, 50.00, 50.00' [02:33] i can [02:33] is it here that I ask ?

[02:33] as far as i can tell it's a stock ubuntu hardy server [02:33] anyone know how to get the desktop shere eroking [02:34] gigel2007, get the ubuntu-restricted-extras package. vlc is a good player.

I've never gone all the way through it -just used it as a reference now and then. IME, it's pretty comprehensive and fairly easy to understand, even without a huge background in *nix [02:34] gigel get ubuntu resricted extras that should solve your problem plus it will give you avi java flash etc [02:34] hello? [02:34] satanas, ok, just a suggestion. then you have to cope with slowness. try to find lighter alternatives to software you currently use if you cant get more ram. [02:34] ok [02:34] thx [02:34] so I just type sudo apt-get install vlc ? [02:34] java? that should be "free" by now (IcedTea) [02:35] <[BreliC]> man, i am getting frustrated [02:35] gigel2007: sure [02:35] it is free [02:35] satanas, there are tons of other distros that have lighter requirements [02:35] Skry^ thanks, but other than changing my DE and apps theres no other solution? [02:35] <[BreliC]> i think the iso i downloaded is corrupt === ne2k___ is now known as ne2k__ [02:35] Rugxulo thanks but i want to stay with ubuntu [02:35] then start your compiler and get recompiling ... [02:36] <[BreliC]> i thought it was the cd, but two CDs, and two different machines later with the same fail error leads me to believe it's the ISO itself [02:36] satanas, spend some money and upgrade to more than 256mb. that's a puny amount of ram. [02:36] satanas, not with that amount of memory. you could also try to disable services you dont need. [02:36] anyone know why my x chat is not connecting to this channel and pidgin gets in immediately? [02:36] DOes anyone here know how to get in touch with a member of the security team? [02:36] <[BreliC]> so, i had to install Intrepid using the alternate iso.. [02:36] someone have a viewsonic wide screen in ubuntu 8.04 [02:36] booksbuggy, have you set XChat to identify for your nickname? [02:36] hrm [02:36] dammit [02:36] Brelic, did you compare the md5sum of it? [02:36] any recommendations on a good mp3 player with decent play listing etc [02:37] don't know about that function [02:37] where is that? [02:37] <[BreliC]> ok, now i boot up and get the shell prompt... now what? I want to install the packages (i.e. the full ubuntu desktop install) from CDRom - can I do it?? [02:37] jamesish: use bugs.ubuntu.com to file a security bug. Or is there some other issue? [02:37] Symmetria, amarok, exaile [02:37] Symmetria, I use XMMS and it works fine [02:37] hi, how can I use the new guest account? [02:37] How do you produce a sha256 sum? [02:37] anyone know of a way to repair a ubuntu install without removable media? === Bruce is now known as Brucee [02:37] satanas: have you tried MID ubuntu? [02:37] Grey_Loki why were you highlighted when you said bookbuggy even if I didnt change my nick? [02:37] jrib: no, it's a security issue. Buggers appear to have totalled my groups. [02:37] gbear14275: depends on what you need to repair I guess [02:37] <[BreliC]> Rugxulo: yes, and it checked out?!?! [02:37] danbhfive MID ubuntu - havent heard of it [02:38] jamesish: so why don't you file a bug? [02:38] someone have a viewsonic wide screen in ubuntu 8.04 [02:38] Brelic, but what was the problem then? didn't burn correctly? [02:38] Grey_Loki: because when i log in some other channel i get in immediately [02:38] jrib: I am in the process of filing a bug. [02:38] !songbird | Symmetria [02:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about songbird [02:38] Grey_Loki: with x chat [02:38] <[BreliC]> i mounted the CD, used apt-cdrom to insert it into apt sources, and not sure how to get the full desktop installed [02:38] satanas, I don't understand your question [02:38] !mobile | satanas [02:38] satanas: Learn more about Ubuntu Mobile at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded [02:38] booksbuggy, another channel on this server? If that's the case, I don't know [02:38] <[BreliC]> Rugxulo: not sure, because i tried two different CDs and a USB key install, and it failed on all THREE on different machines [02:38] i don't know [02:38] Grey_Loki your name was hilighted in irssi even when you didnt type my name [02:39] [BreliC], sudo aptitude install ubuntu-dekstop ? > is this what you want? [02:39] jamesish: /join #ubuntu-bugs if you need more regarding the bug I guess or check lists.ubuntu.com for an appropriate list [02:39] installed kde, booted to a kde session and ran update, kde I think pulled all of its packages, and would just like to figure out how to remove it all with a semi clean ubuntu install [02:39] Grey_Loki: even i don't log in with pidgin it still doesn't connect [02:39] danbhfive so you are saying is i should install ubuntu mobile on my desktop? [02:39] satanas, why wouldn't you just upgrade your ram? [02:39] satanas, oh. Well, it wasn't intentional :P [02:39] <[BreliC]> WebcamWonder: yes, but it doesn't seem to work... as that package is not on the CDrom, and as it stands, without desktop ubuntu, it won't recognize my network card [02:40] [BreliC], Not even the wired NIC? [02:40] satanas: I don't know yet, I personally installed xubuntu on a 256mb ram desktop, and it seems to work. But, I just found out about MID. It might be even better, but I've yet to try it [02:40] arrrghhh $$$$$$$ and the fact that i dual boot and windows is faster [02:40] Grey_Loki: it maybe the password [02:40] !exe [02:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about exe [02:40] but i don't see a option here for doing it [02:40] satanas, which Windows? [02:40] how do i check which process accesses a disk? [02:40] Grey_Loki: in the x chat [02:40] sure, some are fast but "less capable" [02:40] <[BreliC]> WebcamWonder: yes, it will recognize wired nic, but since I already have the CD here, I'd rather do it that way than download all the packages again [02:40] tu, lsof [02:40] <[BreliC]> WebcamWonder: not the fastest connection here [02:40] thx [02:41] satanas, it's $20 for 1 gig stick and if windows is faster then... use windows. [02:41] Rugxulo xp sp2 on the same machine - i run office 07, firefox, word, excel at the same time [02:41] !exe >gigel2007 [02:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about exe [02:41] satanas, then it's swapping like mad, most likely [02:41] someone have a viewsonic wide screen in ubuntu 8.04 [02:41] !exe > gigel2007 [02:41] satanas, there's loads of distros out there for lowend configurations, it's just that they dont usually include gnome [02:41] satanas: but I would agree with the others, it would only be around $20 to upgrade your ram, and for Ubuntu at its current state, its well worth it to get to 512 mb ram [02:41] satanas, there are ways to use linux on lesser hardware, but 8.10 is a very new operating system and 256mb of ram is a very old standard... the min i believe for ubuntu. 384 i think is *recommended* [02:41] I've seen XP on a 256 MB machine, and it was anything but fast [02:42] [BreliC], http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-512978.html <= sounds like your problem [02:42] well i am running this ubuntu with 256 ram [02:42] arrrghhh basically i want to know how to make performance ofubuntu better without breaking it [02:42] how do i change a users home directory? ive moved /foo to /home/foo and now the user doesnt have permissions on /home/foo [02:42] How can I read about opening exe, the !exe me is not working [02:42] booksbuggy: how did you manage, I am haveing trouble with 480 === ne2k___ is now known as ne2k__ [02:42] huh? [02:42] Rugxulo, with antivurus? [02:42] what you mean? [02:43] alright.... [02:43] satanas, again, get lighter software, disable services you dont need. that's about it. [02:43] satanas, 256mb is the bare minimum for running ubuntu. could you image vista on 256mb? it won't even allow you to install vista with that little ram.

[02:43] arrrghhh ok ok i concede defeat [02:43] arrrghhh i will just apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [02:43] satanas, do you have a suitable swap partition?

[02:44] [BreliC], No problem. Sorry couldn't give you a on the spot solution [02:44] satanas, seriously ... OpenOffice is not a light program, it was never intended for such, that's probably your biggest issue [02:44] whats the best way to uninstall ubuntu? [02:44] hi all, i can't find xserver-xorg-video-via in intrepid? what should I use then if my video card is via? [02:44] booksbuggy: Ableton Live, Cubase, and some games like HAlf Life 2 [02:44] there an uninstaller?

[02:48] gbear14275, that was 2 seconds of googleing literally. [02:49] * satanas sheds tears over my nvidia legacy card [02:49] jrib, your sharing of my pain is, how do you say, "bad sign"? [02:49] Couldn't find package amarok-common [02:49] satanas, i'd say stick to 8.04 LTS if you have legacy anything. [02:49] lol, this is going to be fun [02:49] I've upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 twice, and each time when I come back from the restart, X is screwed up. It's out of range for my monitor. [02:49] gbear14275, if you installed kubuntu-desktop with aptitude it'd be cake. [02:49] ross__: progress is being made on the library hash for 2.0 but it's not broken yet [02:50] Starting in recovery mode and doing the x repair doesn't fix it. [02:50] jrib, how does one determine if one is running 2.0 firmware or the older one? (granted that this is a new canadian ipod) [02:50] arrrghhh... was ideally looking for a way to reinstall ubuntu from a local disk... I don't have any removable media [02:50] is windo selector not working common? [02:50] hmmm ok thanks to arrrghhh Skry^ Loki - i am going to follow your advises [02:50] mine doesn't seem to wan to stay visible [02:50] rhsanborn, a lot of legacy cards are currently not supported on the new version of xorg [02:50] ross__: general settings -> general -> about -> version [02:51] but yeah, was hoping to wipe the OS completely I partitioned out my home directory for this case [02:51] arrrghhh, this is a relatively new ATI card [02:51] gbear14275, if you do those commands it'll completely remove kde. but if you want to reinstall ubuntu download an iso and do it. [02:51] is it possible to run the linux terminal in the background? [02:51] jrib, it's still on the 'plug me into itunes mode' [02:51] rhsanborn, did you blast out your xorg.conf file? [02:51] nintendork87: you mean as your wallpaper? [02:51] ross, satanas ... iPod and nVidia aren't GPL friendly, so blame them (sad but true) :-( [02:51] you should be able to at least run X then. [02:51] arrrghhh, no. I'll try that [02:51] ross__: oh. Yeah, find a windows computer or os x [02:51] * ross__ pokes Rugxulo with a stick [02:52] * Rugxulo has crappy compatibility with hardware too, if that makes you feel better [02:52] jrib: no im using an ircbot and have to run the terminal to use it [02:52] can't you run a vm to xp and use itunes that way? [02:53] arrrghhh, we were just discussing that actually :) [02:53] gbear14275, if your looking to reinstall w/o an optical drive you could always use a live USB [02:53] ^^so its not on the task bar [02:53] nintendork87: well, you can do 'command &' to start command in the background (google: bash job control). Or you can use screen [02:53] !screen > nintendork87 [02:53] nintendork87, please see my private message [02:53] I am having a giant problem with grub, resulting in two different errors. 17: Cannot mount, 13: Invalid or unsupported. I have used grub 'find /boot/grub/stage1; root (the return value from above); setup (hd number of above);' Many times without success, any suggestions [02:53] anyone familiar with port forwarding/NAT on ubuntu? for some reason all my http traffic is timing out [02:53] ross__, you'd probably have to set it up to pass the usb thru... i don't see why it wouldn't work. [02:54] it works [02:54] how do you change a users home directory? [02:54] no removable media... usb, cd, dvd, floppy or other [02:54] at least not for 3 days [02:54] for me atleast, ipod and vm+xp [02:54] Tmob, what are your firewall rules? [02:54] mynous: man usermod (poke me if you can't find what you want there) [02:54] arrrghhh, I removed the xorg.conf file and started x and the same thing happened.

[02:57] i'm trying to install ubuntu 8.10 and for some reason i can't make it past setting the keyboard language [02:57] Sylphid, just a sec please... i'll pastebin my rules [02:58] is there a security channel for ubuntu irc? [02:58] nintendork87, you mean terminals like yakuake and tilda which can be hidden with a hotkey? [02:58] so, no idea why niced processes cap out at 50% cpu? :( [02:58] how can I change timezone after install? [02:58] Skry^: idk what they do [02:58] i guess [02:58] nintendork87: well screen one way to do what you want. And it's probably the best way because you can reattach it later. The other way to do it is to run 'nohup COMMAND' and then just close your terminal. Or you can disown the job. So: command disown & disown [02:58] How can I switch off "ZZZ left the room.. XXX entered room" kinda messages in pidgin? [02:58] mynous: thanks :) [02:58] Skry^, Do you have a dual core? [02:58] error404notfound: /etc/timezone [02:58] error404notfound, system>administration, time and date [02:59] WebcamWonder, yeah. [02:59] Tmob, also does cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward return 1? [02:59] error404notfound, you probably going to need the password [02:59] sar4j: check your plugins [02:59] Sylphid, yes i put in a 1 there [02:59] There isn't any way to undo the dist upgrade, is there? [02:59] Skry^, If the application is doing its entire processing in one thread, a single thread can only be executed on one of the cores, hence the 50% comes from 1 core maxing out [02:59] nintendork87: sorry, I messed up the syntax on the disown. It's just: command & disown [02:59] will i have to pay for shipping and handling if i order the CD? [02:59] nintendork87, they are terminals which are running in background, and using a predefined key like F12 you can show/hide them. [03:00] Sylphid, for some reason i am trying to ssh and its taking a loong time to show me the password prompt [03:00] hmm, mozilla firefox doesn't function well with 8.10 [03:00] jrib: i cant do the command (will a new tab help?) because im telnetting [03:00] Sylphid, this is via a direct ethernet cable to the machine [03:00] haYnguy: mozilla firefox doesn't work well at all x) [03:00] jrib which ones? [03:00] haYnguy: works for me [03:01] WebcamWonder, did i ask something about that? :) [03:01] ross__, i have these stupid cd carousels that i have to run xp for. they're usb, and it works great under vm. my bank has a deposit at home feature that only works under windows (well mac too) - they block me simply because ii'm running linux. [03:01] Tmob, mine does that as well sometimes..... guessing that its eathers something to do with the sshd config or pam [03:01] histo: i'm on livecd [03:01] Skry^, I am sorry if I misunderstood your question [03:01] and it's not appearing correctly [03:01] If opera had decent plugins like Firefox, i'd so disown firefox. [03:01] nintendork87: you're telnetting? Why aren't you using ssh :? That's what is so great about screen. You could just open up a new "tab" in screen. [03:01] will i have to pay for shipping and handling if i order the CD? [03:01] WebcamWonder, you should be talking to insta [03:02] Skry^, Sorry, long day :( [03:02] Sylphid, restarting the machine.. gimme a min [03:02] jrib: im "telnetting" im using pircbot to run an ircbot on a server [03:02] sar4j: the pidgin plugins, it should be obvious which one you want to enable [03:02] vienna no cds are free [03:02] Sylphid, i was on an older kernel to see if that would fix the issue, rebooting into ibex's kernel [03:02] Vienna, more details here: https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ <= Please only order a CD if there is no way for you to download from the torrents/HTTP based mirrors [03:02] WebcamWonder: I have 50 simultaneous single-threaded apps running on a quad core machine [03:02] where is there a good tutorial to install flash on opera?

[03:03] insta, Is this some form of video encoding? [03:03] <_Zeus_> histo_: just downloading some [03:03] nintendork87: but... but.. I gave you three options. Just do 'COMMAND & disown' if you want to run it and never see it again. Or use screen (see the link ubottu gave you) if you want to be able to bring it back at any time [03:03] <_Zeus_> histo_: ty [03:04] WebcamWonder: ... yes [03:04] screen is nothing short of a miracle i agree, jrib :) [03:04] insta, Mostly in video conversion, the bottleneck is your hdd IO, are you sure that is not the bottleneck to 50%?

It doesn't show up as a network around me [03:08] im telnetting [03:08] WebcamWonder: so i want it at a nice of > 0. but whenever i do that, max cpu utilization across all cores stops at 50% [03:08] nintendork87: just 'telnet' in an ubuntu terminal? [03:08] WebcamWonder: which is NOT what i want for video encoding [03:08] no GUI for a week [03:08] doit [03:08] jrib: its like telnetting: its a bot [03:08] insta, Ok, so why don't you try keeping the video encoding at 0, and the ssh deamon at a higher priority?

[03:12] Tmob, looks like your allowing the connection to initiate but nothing else [03:12] tseug: man mount [03:12] nintendork87: then you haven't answered my question. Maybe this will make it easier: What exactly do you do from the moment ubuntu loads until you type in "java blabla pircbot"? [03:12] anyone? [03:12] insta, I don't know. There must be more factors that we aren't considering. Since the niceness is part of the kernel, I would ask around in the kernel development as to how the niceness is actually handled [03:13] * jrib kills the bots [03:13] Tmob, try using --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED instead [03:13] jrib: nothing except compile it if i updated the bot [03:13] Bigblackbunny: the name your wireless network shows up as [03:13] so... ran out of room on my partition when trying to uninstall packages... doesn't make sense... but there is supossedly a autoinstall command I can use to clean up the partition [03:13] WebcamWonder: I get the vague impression its some form of power control [03:13] nintendork87: you start a terminal in Accessories -> terminal first? [03:13] LF|Irssi_ : I'd like to blame it on Pulse's implementation in Ubuntu but I'm not sure where the root of the problem is [03:13] the kernel sees processes taking up "100%" cpu, but all nice, which means i don't care too much about them [03:13] jrib: yes [03:13] so it throttles them to get them under the CPU threshold for faster speeds [03:14] and then throttles the cpu down [03:14] insta, You aren't on the Conversative governer are you? [03:14] Anyone know an iTunes decrypter for Linux? I'm trying to help a client that I'm converting to Ubuntu keep his music collection. [03:14] nintendork87: so now you type 'screen' in a terminal.

[03:35] memeemeee: well the real tek should definately work [03:35] jrib: there are numerous bug reports about it, so I'm not sure which is the main/official one. here's an example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/252094 [03:36] trisinger-> that seems way too low level, i dont know if any tools can [03:36] can I convert the partitiontable from mac format to msdos format and save one of the partitions? [03:36] memeemeee: perhaps you are setting a static ip outside of the routers range [03:36] histo, that's why I purchased it. is sky2 the driver? [03:36] Sylphid, nop.. just installed it [03:36] I may have been able to get X server to start, but no mouse now... [03:36] Sylphid, thats probably the issue.. once again thanks! [03:36] Bigblackbunny, nm = network manager, the applet by the clock that shows your network settings [03:36] memeemeee: no it should be like rt something or other. [03:36] JasonWoof: check out bug 86509 maybe [03:36] Sylphid, will have to go offline to test the new setup.. ttyl [03:36] n8tuser, im on a server there is no real gui... i should be able to do anything [03:37] SeaPhor : Ill try it. [03:37] my res only goes up to 1024x768 when i use nv accelerated drivers [03:37] memeemeee: try pcimodules [03:37] What is LTSP chroot used for? [03:37] i would use dd but the partition is a little smaller [03:37] trisinger-> that seems way too low level, i dont know if any tools can..not even speaking of gui tool [03:37] n8tuser whats dir for trash [03:37] actually I've tried the same network/interfaces info on my laptop with no problems so it's not the ip. [03:38] memeemeee: that will show you modules running for all pci hardware [03:38] jrib: what was the security issue in 8.04, and wouldn't it just be fixed by an apt-get upgrade ? [03:38] trisinger-> i dont think dd has options to skip and how would you know which to skip? [03:38] Samus_Aran: that bug just shows people claiming degraded performance in intrepid. In any case, you can just install 8.04 and try to downgrade to whatever package you feel 8.04 had that was better [03:38] I have the Realtek RTL8187b wireless card, which is supposed to work out of box with Ibex, I can connect to my wireless network but the internet still doesn't work, any help with this please? [03:38] ok. so the r8169 module is showing up but when I look at dmesg it shows sky2 errors relating to eth1 [03:38] Is anyone from the UK and willing to beta test (basically load) a website? [03:38] rogan ls -la direcotry [03:38] memeemeee: no idea what sky2 is sry [03:38] Samus_Aran: 8.04.1 is 8.04 with upgrades, so if you claim 8.04.1 has the issue, the upgrade would give you the same issue [03:38] maybe someone else would know [03:39] it's one of the modules. how do I make the proper module handle the appropriate card? [03:39] ekow-> paste in pastebin the results of your iwconfig ; cat /etc/resolv.conf and route -n please [03:39] jrib: this is on a new laptop I bought for my father. I have never tried 8.04 on this laptop, only got it yesterday and installed 8.10 on it. the Intel drivers that come with 8.10 are totally buggy [03:39] n8tuser, partimage can do it but it has the extra step of copying to an image file THEN restoring from that. i dont have enough space for an image and it seems redundant. i just want to go from an external 250gb to an internal 160gb [03:39] memeemeee: you can rmmod the module you don't want. [03:39] jrib: if compiz is on, then all other GL apps produce incorrect layering and tons of glitches. if compiz is off, then certain glitches remain [03:39] also histo-- the card is showing up eth1_rename should I rename it? if so-- how? [03:40] Samus_Aran: you claimed 8.04.1 had these bugs. Why not try 8.04.1? [03:40] so i have a problem with my x-server randomly restarting and i don't know why? [03:40] my resolution only goes up to 1024x768 when i use nvidia accelerated drivers, any fix?\ [03:40] trisinger-> well, if partimage can, go for it..thats a dilemna for backing up stuff on same hd..and it is slow [03:40] jrib: I tried some of the suggested xorg.conf changes, and while they removed the glitching, they end up crashing Xorg and it won't reload until a reboot [03:40] here's hoping I don't need sky2 for anything else! [03:40] n8tuser: so /etc/resolve.conf comes from the isp now via networkmanager automatically. my internal bind will hit a known dns server externally [03:40] * memeemeee crossing fingers [03:40] n8tuser: ok one minute while i get it all [03:40] host do I get network manager to put my specific domain and nameserver in /etc/resolve.conf ? [03:41] jrib: I would rather than 8.10 working, as I've already spent many hours configuring things on this system, will be a pain to reinstall, only to find it's the same [03:41] * memeemeee rebooting -- pray with me histo [03:41] temp0070-> you have to add manually [03:41] Samus_Aran: best to just ask for help with that directly then [03:41] KnomeDE: it probably isn't able to detect your monitor settings [03:41] temp0070-> or with a script [03:41] so i have a problem with my x-server randomly restarting and i don't know why? this is on 8.10 [03:41] memeemeee: rmmod will not remove it on next boot only immediately [03:41] n8tuser: I did add manually and it works.. but networkmanager keeps overwritting it.. is there a specific script to modifty? [03:41] memeemeee: you would have to blacklist it to remove on boot [03:42] oh- good to know. I rebooted ;) so i should try rmmod and then restart networking? [03:42] temp0070-> then you just have to keep manually adding it, or you can use preload i think... again the 3rd time, man interfaces [03:42] anyone know how to do the sound configuration? [03:42] Samus_Aran: the standard driver goes higher, which means that the driver for the monitor is working properly [03:42] hi all, can anyone tell if I should first install ubuntu, then Vista, if I want a dual-boot machine? [03:42] <|neon|> after i make changes to my theme they look ok , but when i reboot the chages are gone so ihave to configure my theme again, any ideas on how can i make the changes stay? [03:42] !dualboot > ReXiO [03:42] ReXiO, please see my private message [03:42] jrib: do you know anything about Intel drivers on laptops ? I have one work laptop running 8.something with no issues. other than that, I've never used Intel [03:42] so anyone-- know how to rename eth1_rename to eth1? [03:43] 2 [03:43] ai o/ [03:43] SeaPhor : Nope, still can't find my network, but I can see one more of my neighbors networks now :) [03:43] anyone know how to configure the sound? [03:43] Samus_Aran: sorry, I have a laptop with one but it "just works" so I don't know anything about it [03:43] ai nguoi viet nam ko? [03:43] KnomeDE: your best chance of success is to find the specifications for your monitor, and enter those modes into your monitor section of xorg.conf [03:43] wow , thx histo [03:43] i am using gnome [03:43] jrib: 8.04 or 8.10 ? [03:43] jrib: or earlier [03:44] Samus_Aran: 8.04 and 8.10 [03:44] Are you need sex ?? click here : http://www.fotovacaciones.telefonica.com/catalogo.php?voto=1&codigo=WA0AA3&pagina=1 [03:44] booksbuggy: you mean like System --> Preferences --> Sound? [03:44] jrib: on the same laptop ? [03:44] tried that [03:44] Samus_Aran: they're all proper there, ive checked, its really baffling me [03:44] doesn't work [03:44] temp0070-> rather is the prepend on your dhclient.conf [03:44] does wubi work with ubuntu 8.10? [03:44] booksbuggy: what are you trying to do? [03:44] get sound to play when i use firefox [03:44] Samus_Aran: yes [03:44] KnomeDE: what is in your monitor section of xorg.conf ?

[03:45] Hello all, Just would like to know what Anti-Virus scanner that you use. I know there is Clam-AV out there.. just looking to see what everyone is using, please. [03:45] so i have a problem with my x-server randomly restarting and i don't know why? i am on 8.10 [03:45] jrib: out of curiousity, which chipset ? (lspci|grep -i vga) [03:45] so histo -- now it wont find the device at all [03:45] Nikyo: you don't need one. clam is really just for mail servers with windows users [03:45] hmmm didn't check that [03:45] Samus_Aran: laptops off right now [03:46] is it possible to make a new stdout device? [03:46] memeemeee: which device? [03:46] trisinger: what do you mean by that ? [03:46] booksbuggy: what happens when you go to the sound settings? [03:46] Nikyo, despite FUD to the contrary, AV is totally unnecessary on Linux [03:46] trisinger-> what do you meant by that? [03:46] hey all. i'm trying to copy all of my files from a 500gb ext3 partition to a 700gb ntfs partition. i open up nautilus as root by "gksu nautilus", but when it's preparing to copy the files, i get the error message "Error stating file 'path/to/file': Stale NFS file handle". this only happens for the one file. any ideas? [03:46] well when i click on test a weird horn sound starts running [03:46] inmy Hardy install i updated everything, but in the update manager thereare a bunch of packages that are greyed out and for some reason unselectable to update them.why does it do this? [03:46] trisinger-> you can use dup2 in a c program [03:46] so i can output an image file to that device and be assured that it will be free of stdout/stderr messages, then read "partimage restore" from that device [03:46] trisinger: 0> is standard input, 1> is standard output, 2> is standard error, 3> and above are outputs that you create yourself [03:47] Samus_Aran: ok got it, it is incorrect in xorg.conf, i guess i should have checked it WHILE i had the accelerated driver enabled [03:47] jrib: I thought there were some worms that affected Linux, and not just on mail servers. If I am worng.. I am sorry about that.. [03:47] booksbuggy: so the sound preferences do work... [03:47] it does [03:47] memeemeee: network support should just be working right out of the box for the card you described. Your problem is lying elsewhere. Like settings etc... Try DHCP'ng from the router instead of static. [03:47] how do I set my drivers to automatically scale up my desktop when I run a lower resolution on my LCD.

[03:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/68202/ can't figure out how to fix? [03:47] jrib: Thanks.. I'll read that. [03:47] booksbuggy: firefox is a web browser... where's it supposed to make noise?

[03:49] ekow2-> you dhclient was not able to acquire an ip address, and therefore it was not able to modify your route table, sudo dhclient wlan0 [03:50] erth: Thanks for the comment about the AV.

[03:53] Samus_Aran, ugh i was doing that but its taking god forever, and sometimes rsynce is throwing weird i/o errors. it should be about to copy alot faster than it is... damn near full usb support speed [03:53] jrib: aah.. completely forgot about that.. i belive its medibuntu stuff right [03:54] trisinger: you will not get more than 1 to 2% better speed from doing it raw [03:54] djhash: yep [03:54] trisinger: if there are I/O errors, then the Linux kernel will retry several times to read the sector [03:54] okay on the top is is about jv flv player 3.2 then under that setting then under that is adobe flash player 9 [03:54] trisinger: that is what will cause it to go very slowly. look in dmesg for the complete list of hard drive errors [03:54] hey [03:54] menu wise [03:54] help me [03:55] i have a problem [03:55] thk jrib [03:55] some thing like this [03:55] Hi guys! What is the minimal set of packages to install after a fresh hardy installation to add audio-video playing support for the majority of a/v formats, e.g. wmv, flac, rm. Thanks (I just don't want to install too many players and codecs etc. Have medibuntu already added) [03:55] for upgrade my ubuntu [03:55] hmm. on my ubuntu 8.04 laptop my update manager says all is up to date, but in the update manager window there are a bunch of greyed out packages that i cant select to update. why cant i update those packages? [03:55] about jv flv player [03:55] settings [03:55] about adobe flash player 9 [03:55] Samus_Aran, alright ill just do a copy then i thought it would be a bigger difference. going to take like 30 hours [03:55] hello can anyone tell me how do i start dialup connection on startup? [03:56] K_Dallas, gstreamer-plugins-* [03:56] K_Dallas, A player like mplayer or vlc should be able to play most common formats out of the box [03:56] maybe i should see if there are other flash player plugin installed [03:57] Anyone have a clue? This isn't the Ubuntu I remember.... =/ [03:57] Skry^, i will look into it. WebcamWonder would vlc allow me to save portions of video i am playing in real time? [03:57] trisinger: the only difference in speed is that copying the files will read the directory structure (random reads), whereas the direct dd method is reading from the disk in order (sequentially) [03:57] K_Dallas-> pt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse vlc mplayer mplayer-fonts [03:57] K_Dallas, If you want to do a copy of portions of file, look into encoders like mencoder or ffmpeg [03:57] apt* [03:58] booksbuggy, go to adobe site and dl latest flash [03:58] trisinger: you're better off using rsync, as it will report at the end about about failures to copy [03:58] how do i make auto dialup connection to the Internet when the computer is started??? [03:58] Samus_Aran, i just do see why it tops out at like a meg a second [03:58] what is the latest version? [03:58] 10? [03:58] K_Dallas, But, I do believe they have certain level of basic funcationality of dumping stream. Check the man page for more details [03:58] thanks n8tuser. WebcamWonder i used mencoder once but it was really hard to manipulate as i needed to know exactly the time stamp of portion i wanted to copy [03:58] booksbuggy, go to adobe site and dl latest flash, report back. [03:58] because i already got 9 [03:58] alright [03:59] trisinger: have you confirmed that it's not just a slow disk because it's about to die ? if it's USB, have you confirmed it is using something above USB 1.1 ? [03:59] WebcamWonder, i look into it again. thanks [03:59] K_Dallas, So you basically want to timestamp while the file is being played? I think mplayer supported writing edl which did that [03:59] trisinger: look in dmesg when you plug the drive in, it will mention either "a new high speed USB device" or "low speed" or "full speed" [03:59] booksbuggy, if the config is wrong the dl will fix it prolly [03:59] I'm trying to SSH tunnel through a proxy, can anyone help me? [03:59] oh [03:59] anyone can help me? [04:00] with dial up? [04:00] trisinger: high speed is the only one which will give fast performance. full speed is USB 1.1 and very slow. low speed is only for mice and such. [04:00] K_Dallas, Here you go. > http://www.oreillynet.com/sysadmin/blog/2005/06/make_your_own_phantom_edit_wit.html [04:00] WebcamWonder, that would be nice. thanks. have to look into the man pages. havent played with it except normal video playing [04:00] Hello I am having trouble logging in with gdm using ldap authentication, can someone help me figure out what is wrong?

Was that comment towards my nickname or Avant's? :p [04:24] trisinger: you can get a PCI card that gives u USB 2.0 ports - might take some work to get the controller ubuntu friendly, but mine works just fine on default install [04:24] yours. hehe [04:25] trisinger: you might want to confirm that you have USB 2.0 kernel modules (drivers) loaded. without them, even if it is a USB 2.0 device, it will only do "full speed" USB 1.1 [04:25] kanhiya78: hist alt+f2 then type in gconf-editor [04:25] i an new to linux [04:25] anyone think i'm gonna run into problems if i go on an upgrading spree and upgrade from feisty fawn up to intrepid ibex? === DanTheFlyingFag is now known as dtfm [04:25] why are some packages "kept back" when I fun apt-get upgrade?

What I would like is for it to be able to keep them as titled/zoomed whilst giving me a new one after a minute. I have searched Google and ubuntu repo for this, but what comes up does not seem to be quite what I want. [04:26] kanhiya78: Type in gconf-editor.

[04:26] my partition table is partially corrupted (I can mount the important partition, but fdisk and parted can't display the partition table) [04:26] trisinger: i picked one up at bestbuy for 5 extra usb 2.0 spots.. works with default install of 8.04 [04:27] please wait [04:27] it is currently a mac format partition table, and I'd prefer msdos format [04:27] ok [04:27] i have a problem [04:27] piju: yep, but iit's best to always use stuff from repo when you can normalley [04:27] is that what it is WebcamWonder? seems odd that they would even be mentioned? should I run remove to get rid of them? [04:27] piju: expesailly stuff such as gnoem [04:27] gnome [04:27] i have a folder with a bunch of files all with the same permissions.... but apache2 only shows 2 of them [04:27] I have discovered the start/end/size positions of the partition I'd like to keep. Can I create an msdos partition table with these same values and it'll work? [04:27] Samus_Aran, whats the madule name in lsmod [04:27] I am having issues with authentication. I cannot login either at GDM or terminal. Suggestions? [04:27] JasonWoof: perhaps you don't have the proper partition table formats installed. I've never used anything but the standard PC ones, but it has dozens of other partition table formats [04:28] JasonWoof: I think these are available as kernel modules that you load up [04:28] memeemeee, autoremove should get rid off them [04:28] Samus_Aran: I can mount it just fine [04:28] Samus_Aran: it's just parted/fdisk that don't work [04:28] JasonWoof: the modules would allow the partitioning program to see it properly [04:28] I have installed KDM Theme Manager, but when I load it I get this message: "Can't find Configuration File: blah blah You must set-up the Login Manager before you can use its themes". How can I resolve this? [04:28] it tells me i dont have permission to change a file. i use sudo and i can, how can i log into root as to prevent using sudo [04:28] Samus_Aran: anyway, my real question is can I set up an msdos partition table with my existing partition that was set up when the partition table was mac format? [04:29] no WebcamWonder output is "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded" [04:29] the filesystem for the /casper/filesystem.squashfs on 8.10 livecd is not mountable in older 7.10 ? am getting a SQUASHFS error: Please update your kernel [04:29] Samus_Aran: really? any tips on finding these modules?

[04:30] kanhiya78: YES [04:30] WebcamWonder, sudo get-apt autoremove. but that's the output anytime I run apt-get always 6 held back [04:31] kanhiya78: or open a terminal and type in gconf-editor [04:31] !root | Brucee [04:31] Brucee: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[04:32] CITguy-Apollo, I tried that, selected KDM (which I did when I first installed it) and I get the same error. I get two options, KDM and GDM, SHould I pick GDM? [04:32] Samus_Aran, am right now will be back [04:32] also Brucee if you really want to run several root commands without typing sudo over and over (THIS IS BAD ADVICE) type sudo su [04:32] memeemeee, http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html [04:32] memeemeee: better to do: sudo su - [04:32] sudo -s works too?

[04:36] Skry^ I've tried them all. I am out of options except to remove the tv tuner card [04:36] paulorv: iptables are enabled already in Ubuntu [04:36] then I will have to consider going to Windows which I do not want to do [04:36] I am frustrated beyond belief [04:36] genii: there are no problems to experience afterward. all components of the system continue to function as before [04:37] there is no option to select higher than 800x640 [04:37] genii: sudo continues to work, logging into the system continues to work, etc. [04:37] skry^ brb, trying another attempt and rebooting [04:37] neither effects can be enabled [04:37] i am saying about normal effects [04:37] kanhiya78: well enabling effects and changing resolutions are completely different things. [04:37] Hey guys, question. Why can you graphically change the login screen resolution? [04:37] Samus_Aran: Try this then: in your home directory as user, swithc to root. Then run Nautilus and exit. Try running it without ever being root or using sudo again. It's impossible [04:38] ok what to do === sickgirl485-away is now known as sickgirl485 [04:38] Samus_Aran: Then the user reapperars here going "Nautilus won't run!" etc [04:38] first i want to change resolution [04:38] genii: running Nautilus as root user is unrelated to creating a root password [04:38] genii: gksudo nautilus would have the same effect [04:38] what version of squashfs is the newer 8.10 livecd? btw, how to check the version for my older 7.10 ?

What am I missing, why hasn't it exploded [04:46] hey guys [04:46] sudo apt-get update ; shutdown now [04:46] Rev: apt-get upgrade && shutdown -h now [04:46] GodfatherofEire-> is it solved? [04:46] err -h [04:47] You could say that n8tuser [04:47] cb_, it will explode, you've been lucky [04:47] Just did a fresh install [04:47] K_Dallas: just type in unrar into terminal [04:47] ha ha [04:47] Rev: you could stick it in a launcher icon [04:47] bruenig do u know of any books? [04:47] samus_aran, it did not do anything for me other than configure the keyboard. I am looking for the one that does the video. [04:47] GodfatherofEire-> i dont know if you recall, i kept telling people not to do an upgrade but rather fresh install.. those kind of quirkyness is one of the reasons [04:47] zerodamage: as I said, there is none. you either set it in the admin menu, or you edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf =) [04:47] Was a bit afraid of doing the flash install but that went pretty smooth. Did not have sound but found a solution fairly easily [04:48] what is linux? [04:48] hmm how can i see what process is using all my swap space? [04:48] "sudo gedit etc/samba/smb.conf" opens /home/will/etc/samba/smb.conf [04:48] i have a question, i install ubuntu yesterday and im looking for the leopard style icons along the bottom how do i find that? [04:48] YancyThe1exican: an GPL 2 licensed operating system kernel [04:48] samus_aran I've done it before. I just do not remember the command. Googling for it now [04:48] Didnt see that when goin through the logs, guess I missed that n8tuser [04:48] pangloss, I looked into the unrar (free) version and it doesnt seem to be able to handle all rar3.0 archives [04:48] wrong location I believe [04:48] anyone good with iptables? i see a bunch of ACK FIN packets dropped which makes my packet forwarding not work.. could use some help please [04:48] minion007, You mean the dock? [04:48] yeah [04:48] zerodamage: Xorg automatically detects your resolution and sets it to the highest available [04:48] Samus_Aran, thanks for the command [04:48] minion007, Look into Avant Window Manager [04:48] pangloss, there is a nonfree one but it is shareware for 40 days [04:48] samus_aran it is supposed to but it isn't [04:48] thanks [04:49] Also, n8tuser, you know if there are any fixes for the 8.10 usplashes? [04:49] Rev: the && tells it to only shutdown if the other command was successfull -- so if there were errors, it wouldn't shut down [04:49] Anyone using Lazarus or nomachine? [04:49] zerodamage, nvidia-xconfig ? [04:49] K_Dallas, I think the multiverse or universe has the non-free rar, and unrar [04:49] !alsa [04:49] 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). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [04:49] does anyone know a place where i could go to find other irc channels [04:49] K_Dallas: unrar should be able to handle it, what version do you have? [04:49] WebcamWonder, but it would still be shareware and requires registration after 40days [04:49] Gnatman: in freenode? [04:49] skry^ no, that does nothing because the nvidia drivers will not install [04:50] yes [04:50] Gnatman: You can type /list [04:50] Gnatman: /msg alis help [04:50] Samus_Aran, ok perfect, that was exactly what i wanted! [04:50] pangloss, i havent install unrar yet. i try the free one then and see how it goes [04:50] thanx [04:50] Rev: you will also want to add these options to apt-get, if you run it from an icon without a terminal: apt-get --quiet --assume-yes upgrade [04:50] Is there anyway you can "insall ubuntu inside of windows" when using a RAID 0 setup? [04:50] K_Dallas: the free one should come native with Ubuntu [04:50] zerodamage, so what do you need to do with your xorg.conf? [04:50] pangloss, it is not installed on my system. [04:51] Samus_Aran, yeah but i always run it from the term [04:51] skry^ I need to redo everything so my video resolution will be correct [04:51] Rev: and add sudo's as appropriate. =) [04:51] K_Dallas: the rar util does not, just type in $sudo apt-get install rar unrar [04:51] jimmio: That cmd opened the wrong location. [04:51] I believe === Doc8404 is now known as DocUSN-USMC [04:51] K_Dallas: when you type in unrar in a terminal nothing happens? [04:51] zerodamage, ok.. btw did you try to install nvidia drivers from terminal with apt-get? [04:51] that opened /home/will/etc/samba [04:52] Samus_Aran, btw, i was also looking for changing permissions on a folder AND all the folders and files contained inside it. I modified it as root, so its totally locked for my regular user. whats the command to let myself write/read it? [04:52] pangloss, it says i need to apt-get it. [04:52] Samus_Aran, im lost between chmode, chown and so on [04:52] skry^ yes. [04:52] zerodamage: it has been years since I've seen a resolution selector from the install script. Xorg likes everything to be automatic now. xorg.conf is empty on most modern Xorg versions [04:52] pangloss, i installed unrar-free [04:52] samus_aran where else can I look to fix it? I am out of options [04:52] zerodamage, didnt give you any useful info why it didnt work? [04:52] Rev, chown -R $USERNAME:$USERNAME /directory && chmod -R 755 /directory [04:53] Rev: sudo chown -R your_username /some/folder/here [04:53] K_Dallas: just use rar and unrar packages [04:53] zerodamage: what is the problem you're having ? [04:53] pangloss, ok [04:53] skry^ it installs fine but it fails upon boot up. I have to either load minimal or reset to default config [04:53] Can anyone tell me what's the newest mobile wireless card that works out of the box with ubuntu? [04:53] samus_aran I installed Hauppauge 1600 and now the Nvidia restricted drivers will not run. [04:54] usser, Samus_Aran see ! you gave me two different commands, thats really not easy.. which one is the correct one, and what are the differences? [04:54] * will_hough got it [04:54] Rev: theirs was more confusing than my command, and did a few extra things, possibly incorrectly. the command I gave you changed the owner of all the files, nothing else [04:54] zerodamage, did it crash/freeze or just drop you off into console? [04:55] Rev: theirs set the owner and group for all the files, then changed the permissions on every file [04:55] Samus_Aran, oh ok, thanks for the explanation [04:55] Skry^ the new thing from Ibix comes up. Says an error with Nvidia drivers. Gives me some options to edit the xorg config, run in minimal mode, or create a new config. [04:56] skry^ none of those work [04:56] Rev: also, theirs used the variable $USERNAME which won't exist. it would be $USER [04:56] zerodamage, i guess you didnt check xorgs logs? [04:57] Rev: most likely all you wanted to do was change the owner from root to your own user. just replace the "your_username" in my example with your actual username [04:57] skry^ yes I did. [04:58] zerodamage: okay, your issue appears to be that the PCI identifier has changed, or else the nvidia kernel module (driver) is not loaded [04:58] zerodamage: please paste the result of this command: lspci | grep -i vga === woody86_ is now known as woody86 [04:59] 40:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV41 [Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI] (rev a2) [04:59] is there a per-user version of /etc/modules ? [04:59] Samus_Aran, i tried it, and it worked like a charm, perfect, thanks again ! [04:59] zerodamage: yes, the PCI id has changed. open up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the PCI id in the device section to 40:0:0 [05:00] Hello all, I am using the stable release of Intrepid Ibex live cd from a USB disk, and I am not getting any partitions listed in the installer partitioner, Any suggestions? [05:00] I installed ubuntu server 8.10 fresh and i'm given a grub prompt .. and a blinking cursor any suggestions? [05:00] zerodamage: do you know how to edit the xorg.cong file as root ?

[05:01] hmm [05:01] when someone give me an application to install they say type this but where as i tried termonal but it tells me i dont have access ie(apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird) [05:02] window selector is doing this werid thing were my windos don't show up in the list unless the window is some arbitrary distance inside my laptop monitor and my external [05:02] I am trying to install HybridShare from a .deb file... I am getting a message: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: mono. Any ideas on how to fix this? [05:02] minion007: put "sudo" in front of the command [05:02] zerodamage: try adding this to the "device" section: BusID "PCI:40:0:0" [05:02] minion007: what izinucs said [05:02] minion007: you have to use sudo [05:02] beat me to it [05:02] how do i add folders to the sun virtual box [05:02] ok thanks guys [05:02] zerodamage: also add this: Driver "nvidia" [05:02] I installed ubuntu server 8.10 fresh and i'm given a grub prompt .. and a blinking cursor any suggestions? [05:02] jahnkeanater: folders?

And why not C++, which is what they teach at my university. [05:29] pangloss, it's much better then then 8.10RC since it came to booting the kernel and stopped dead .. refused to boot. [05:29] <[T]ank> its like i dont have something installed...... I have all of the other networking working... wireless, wired, cellular... just cant do a vpn [05:29] <[T]ank> any ideas? [05:29] can i install an application server over the internet. i meant that i could access remotely ? [05:29] Necrogami: =/ sound like 8.10RC didnt like your computer === rebel_kid|zZzZ is now known as rebel_kid [05:30] Necrogami, yea also $ sudo grub-install, but that doesn't works all the time. [05:30] yeah .. no [05:30] lol [05:30] Anyone know where I can replace a wireless card in my laptop?? === zzzcakey is now known as __cakey [05:30] lianimator: C/C++ are close to the same thing, C++ is just an object oriented implementation of C [05:31] can i install an application server over the internet. i meant that i could access remotely ? [05:31] lianimator, "most" is a very wide term. the as pangloss said they are very close to each other. [05:31] deftone, physically? [05:31] !spam | dewente [05:31] dewente: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubottu ): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !Caps, !NickSpam, !PM, !English - And most importantly, use common sense... [05:32] that wasn't spam, just an idiotic question. [05:32] <[T]ank> or could anyone tell me the name of the program so i can launch it as root? [05:32] How many of you have gone back to Hardy [05:32] hey [05:32] bkovacs: none [05:32] im looking for an image viewer that would allow me to delete pictures, any ideas? [05:32] bkovacs, technically me, I didn't upgrade because of the ati x300 issue. [05:32] elpargo, mine ? [05:32] Rev, nautilus? [05:32] i never left Gutsy hehe [05:32] hey [05:33] elpargo, no no, i mean, a real viewer [05:33] dewente, yes it shows you have no clue what an "application server" or "access remotely" mean, which is about 50% of your question. [05:33] i will see you guys tonight in about 12 hours [05:33] Rev: define a 'real' viewer [05:33] Rev, what's wrong with nautilus? [05:34] bye for now [05:34] rev, try feh [05:34] nautilus just displays thumbnails. i want a viewer like Eye of the gnome, but with a "delete" button [05:34] Rev: you can open the image with image viewer (which is default) and click edit>>move to trash [05:34] then i can view pix and delete the one i dont want to keep [05:34] how do you force hardy NOT to connect to a wireless network? [05:34] 'm tired of it autoconnecting to my neighbor [05:34] Rev: oh I see [05:35] MFen: disable wifi [05:35] MFen, turn off rove mode [05:35] Rev: have you tried picasa? [05:35] Rev, try gthumb. [05:35] pangloss, i would have prefered a direct button. can i bind a hotkey for delete in image viewer? [05:35] Rev, in eog you can hit delete [05:35] you're telling me there is no way to blacklist a wireless network? [05:36] MFen: thats not what you asked [05:36] Rev, so you want a GUI button? [05:36] elpargo, indeed... the fact that i can hit the delete key is nice [05:36] i hadnt even tried [05:36] SegFaultAX: ok, now that's what i'm asking. [05:36] only thing is that this viewer is very slow [05:37] <[T]ank> running as root does not allow me to add vpn connection either. [05:37] firefox crashes frequently bug reports. I don't know the solution, but if you have problems, having a look---------> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk-qt-engine/+bug/279240 === WPPWAH is now known as WPPWAH|offline [05:38] dig: this doesnt fix your problem by any means, but you could try using epiphany [05:38] Rev, it isn't slow for me, but I'm not a picture fan so I really don't know. [05:40] elpargo, when u are browsing high quality numeric pictures, its kinda slow. at least on my comp. 1 second at least to switch to the next pic [05:41] Rev, by high quality I assume you mean big pixels count? how big exactly? [05:41] do you know what the command is in linux to give the admin write rights? Like i have ubuntu server, and it won't let me upload anything, even though I'm logged as the admin [05:42] Can anyone help me with inputattach? I am trying to configure a joystick (Wingman Warrior). From http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/inputattach.html I have tried to use inputattach with the results shown at http://pastebin.com/d53e67e58. Now I am confused: it seems I should specify a device. Would this be /dev/js0? [05:42] Rev: if the pictures are really large, that is to say if they are high resolution, then that could slow their load down substantially [05:42] what's the 'reccomended' minimum hardware for hardy? I can't find it on the website [05:42] SegFaultAX: the post does point out a solution, by changing gtk-engine(Not sure how) [05:42] Appl3Kork, that doesn't makes sense. [05:43] elpargo, SegFaultAX , i have one here for instance : 2592*1944 [05:43] Rev: whats the bit depth? [05:43] well I can't upload anything through FTP to the home server [05:43] or home directory [05:43] Anyone familiar with PS emulation?!:( Dying here. Been trying to figure out why my pscx won't load any of my CDs. Any help? :P [05:43] like I can add files to a different folder for the html pages, but I can't just upload to the home dir [05:44] NM, found it [05:44] Rev: keep in mind that scaling a few million bytes (several megs) of data can take some time. thats why image viewers generally produce thumbnails [05:44] lifestream: Likely because the PS cd drives spin in the other direction [05:44] Appl3Kork, then you FTP configuration is wrong, also you should use sFTP instead. [05:44] ppl have been telling me to use pure-ftpd and proftpd I'm just sick of having to keep changing [05:45] genii, ... weird :P ... How about ISO? Won't load ISO either. It loads bios fine, then.... nothing. [05:45] Rev, as SegFaultAX said, that big of a picture will take time to render, just because it's big but 1sec isnt that much for that size. [05:45] elpargo: agreed. [05:45] SegFaultAX, yeah yeah, i dont argue about that. THats just that i used to use an other viewer, but i cant remeber the name since i installed a fresh ibex. It was far faster that the EoG. It was a little like Feh in term of speed but with a GUI [05:45] lifestream: If you make an iso in linux, you need some tool to "reverse" it since its again in the wrong direction [05:46] Appl3Kork, well if you want to do it right, you should go with ssh + ftp, that's a secure way of doing it, if you want to stick with plain FTP you need to configure your server to let you upload files everywhere. [05:46] Rev: try a search in the repository, you might get lucky or find an acceptable alternative [05:46] SegFaultAX, ok thanls [05:46] genii, *jawdrop* i've been reading forums and forums for about 2 hours now, and I didn't read anything about that... *googles your suggestion* thank you very much :) [05:46] hi toom [05:46] room [05:47] exit [05:47] Is anyone else finding the windows in ubuntu 8.10 buggy? === kooNewton_ is now known as kooNewton [05:47] standarshy, hmmmmm, mine kinda show half white sometimes, the title bar [05:47] Rev: also, http://www.getdeb.net/ [05:47] well elpargo, do you know of a tutorial that can guide me through setting the ssh + ftp? I mean I'm working on the server through putty, so isn't that ssh? [05:47] lifestream: that is exactly the same problem I have [05:48] Hi guys. Question about the 3 button emulation on mice. I have it set to false in my xorg.conf, however the behaviour still persists. Any ideas? [05:48] although, if I completely disable window effects, I think it goes away [05:48] standarshy, are you using the Dust theme? Trying to figure out if its the bug, or gnome itself. The window won't look normal unless I resize it [05:48] Appl3Kork: well what is it your trying to configure? i mean ssh and ftp are completely independent. [05:48] Appl3Kork, no putty is multiprotocol. === yoyo is now known as chairat [05:48] lifestream: I am using the default human theme [05:48] I'm just trying to get the FTP working so I can upload to the server [05:48] like files/folders [05:49] Hello all, I am trying to install Intrepid Desktop from LiveCD, and I am not getting any partitions listed, Any suggests? [05:49] SegFaultAX, elpargo , ahhhh i just tried gthumb, its really better [05:49] i think i will test it for some time and i'll see if it fulfils my needs [05:49] Rev: nice, you should still take a look at that site: http://www.getdeb.net/ [05:49] i will right away [05:50] Appl3Kork, this seems useful http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-openssh-server-installation-and-configuration/ [05:50] lifestream: Is this a documented issue? [05:50] Appl3Kork: well, by default you can ftp into an ubuntu box using the same username and password as your user account [05:50] ya I did that [05:50] "EnvyNG has detected that the headers for your kernel are missing and cannot be installed" anyone know what i should do? [05:50] Appl3Kork: so what other configuration do you need? [05:50] net [05:51] SegFaultAX, thanks to getdeb, i found back my viewer ;) [05:51] i can login to the server through ftp just fine, it's just when I try to upload it always gives permissioin denied [05:51] hi [05:51] it was GPicView, but its only available for Hardy [05:51] Rev: told ya :D [05:51] Appl3Kork, then you can use any sftp client, to upload stuff I use FileZilla recently. [05:51] standarshy, im not sure, but ive read about other people on the forums with the same problem. i think thers a launchpad bug, not sure what the status [05:51] Rev: its likely still compatible, give it a shot [05:51] I've been trying to do it through Filezilla [05:51] SegFaultAX, not yet available for Intrepid i think ... thanks for the getdeb tip anyway, i'll use it again thats for sure ! ;) [05:52] I've tried switching to a diffferent version of the nvidia drivers [05:52] Didn't help though [05:52] i attemed to upgrade to intrepid, and during this upgrade it failed due to setuptools being installed manually, so the upgrade process stopped in the middle, how can i recover it. i tried update-manager with "partial upgrade" and it prints out on the console Bad upgrade: 'intrepid' !='gutsy' .. but i am not upgrading from gutsy, but hardy [05:52] should I downgrade my libraries or upgrade my programs to prevent segfaults? [05:52] programs if possible.. [05:52] anyone know how to make ubuntu always load the ath5k module? [05:53] i have a atheros wireless card, but it doesn't auto load it [05:53] networkmanager should :( [05:53] http://pastebin.com/d573758bc Problems with iceweasel, any tips? [05:53] would you say that running: amok, htop, pigin, firefox in 4 different workspaces is alot to demand from 480 megs of ram? [05:53] How do I disable window snapping? compiz with nvidia [05:53] Tmob, add it to your init scripts? [05:53] SegFaultAX, is it possible to request a .deb to be built? [05:53] fitztrev, run the config and disable it. [05:53] SegFaultAX, somewhere i mean? [05:54] johnny_, did you try removing setuptools and trying again? [05:54] elpargo, actually nvm.. i just figured it was in blacklist [05:54] elpargo, how? [05:54] removed it.. [05:54] hey guys, i recently updated to intrepid and now whenever i play dvds my video and audio is choppy, any idea what is wrong? [05:54] elpargo, yes i did.. [05:54] Rev: contact the developers. its probably already in the process though. plus devs and package maintainers are slow [05:54] that's where it's failing now after trying partial upgrade [05:55] fitztrev, I don't remember the actual name but it's the configuration program you can enable/disable any plugin there. [05:55] Rev: its only been a week afterall, give them a chance to stretch their legs :D [05:55] SegFaultAX, ok, i'll just note it into my tomboy, and i'll check again in some weeks ;) [05:55] Hello all, I am trying to install Intrepid Desktop from LiveCD, and I am not getting any partitions listed, Any suggests? [05:55] SegFaultAX, thanks for all your help === ne2k___ is now known as ne2k__ [05:56] hey guys, i recently updated to intrepid and now whenever i play dvds my video and audio is choppy, any idea what is wron [05:56] Ben1, ati card? [05:56] nvidia [05:56] firefox becomes more stable after switching to compiz. [05:56] elpargo: how do I at least run the config? [05:56] geforce 4 [05:56] i have the beta of the driver nvidia came out with [05:56] dig: thats a first :D [05:57] :) [05:57] hey why are there powerpc ubuntu releases if they aren't officially supported? [05:57] fitztrev, Compiz-settings is the name of the tool. [05:57] elpargo, what do you think? [05:58] Ben1, that something is wrong with the new video drivers, I'm also having a ton of issues with them. [05:58] yeah, do you think that is the issue here? [05:58] i got 3d support by going to nvidia's beta [05:59] im playing a 3d game, and my fps are horrible, when in windows , it could play on the highest quality, I think its my agp bridge being set to 0x, how can i change it to 8x? i have a ati x1900, thans [05:59] elpargo, do you know if anything is being done about the video? [05:59] melichar: what game is it? [06:00] SegFaultAX: nexuiz, i have every effect turn off, lowest quality, resoultion, and its still choppy [06:00] Ben1, not sure, the issue is too wide to have something concrete. [06:00] SegFaultAX: when in windows, i could play on high quality with all effects on and still get 40 fps - 120 fps [06:00] elpargo: ok got it. thank you! [06:00] fitztrev, welcome. [06:01] melichar, are you certain your videocard settings are optimal? [06:01] melichar: well linux has notoriously bad 3d, probably a driver issue [06:01] is it a known problem with the nvidia legacy drivers and compiz being broken? [06:01] elpargo: i changed them the way i did before in windows, i think its a software error [06:02] it is a known problem [06:02] elpargo: i had the problem in windows where the software wasn't compaible with agp x8, so I had to force it and it worked just fine, could linux not detect agp also? [06:02] i downloaded a beta nvidia driver for my card and now i can use compiz [06:02] i can't, and i'm using the betas [06:03] i can switch to compiz, but nothing works other than my 4 desktops [06:03] uggh.. [06:03] ooh [06:03] hmm [06:03] what card do you have? [06:03] melichar, maybe, that depends on your game. [06:03] Ben1, ti 4400 [06:04] elpargo: should not be a problem, it was working just fine in windows xp, and many people in nexuiz run off linux [06:04] what is linux [06:04] any suggestions? how can i change my agp bridge to x8? [06:04] An illegal hacking operating system JancyTheMexicano [06:04] melichar, the fact that it works in other OS doesn't means it works in ubuntu.

(start when computer starts, and on crash, restart again) [06:06] guys... need help... just set up a friend on ubuntu.. .he's chinese and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get chinese insalled on this thing... i installed the chinese version but what do i do to install chinese input method? === ne2k___ is now known as ne2k__ [06:06] scim is already installed but chinese is not an option and i cannot figure out how to add it [06:06] djhash: are you familiar with /etc/init.d? [06:06] SegFaultAX: yes.. its what i usually use to start and stop apache :-) [06:06] linux is the kernel of an operating system called GNU/Linux, the kernel was written by Linus Torvalds and lots of other computer programmers around the world. [06:07] dinkus, did you try with System - Preferences - keyboard [06:07] ok, im installing windows again just to play games lol, thanks [06:07] djhash: then create a start script, and add a link in rc2.d [06:07] anyone have suggestion on how i can assign functionality to the special keys on my compaq keyboard ? (internet, search and calculator keys) [06:07] melichar, or you could try to figure out what's wrong, 99% change it's a misconfiguration of your card. [06:08] Is it possible to enable all updates to download and install in the background, as it is with security updates? [06:08] melichar: Linux isn't Windows. Things are different, especially some games since the technologies used in most aren't native to this system. [06:08] strangely enough volume up/down, mute and hibernate already work [06:08] elpargo: i've been playing with the settings for 12+ hours, and i have gotten no where [06:08] elpargo: doesnt that install a different keyboard layout rather than a different input method for an american keyboard layout? [06:08] dinkus, both [06:08] In Synaptic's category list, I see the same item listed three times. One is marked (universe), the other (multiverse). What are these? [06:09] melichar, then stop playing :) do you have bad FPS with that game or with every 3d app? [06:09] okay ill look [06:09] dude, this guy who invented the disk usage calculator is a pure genius.

[06:11] elpargo: it is for quake lol, theres a large community that uses linux, its just a software problem and i was just wondering if anyone had a solution [06:11] Linux winston-ubuntu 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:43:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [06:11] Does anyone know if its possible to remove openoffice on intrepid without removing ubuntu-desktop? [06:11] what would it say if it was 64bit [06:12] Scumgrief: instead of i686.. it'll be x86_64 [06:12] oh [06:12] crap lol [06:12] hehe [06:12] devdavad: openoffice is dug in pretty deep at this point [06:12] i did it again, installed 32 bit linux when i wanted 64 bit rofl [06:12] melichar, it IS a software problem, but you need to figure out if it's the driver, quake, something else, but since you don't care enough I guess you should indeed go back to windows. [06:12] cisco warns of down turn after world learns ceo is a mccain supporting dick. [06:12] devdavad, ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package, you can remove it...

[06:13] Is it possible to configure two mice at the same time in xorg.conf? I need both a serial mouse and the autodetected usb mouse. The serial mouse is for a serial spinner on a joystick [06:14] sorry wrong channel i profusely apologize. [06:14] is there a place to download chinese as a supported language in synaptic package manager? [06:15] dinkus, I have never installed chinese stuff, maybe you need a package then try the keyboard, maybe you need this package "chinput" [06:15] Jonathan look into multimouse xorg [06:15] it has a funky name [06:15] okay... i'm looking thanks [06:16] anyone got any idea how to check if a disk is spun down programatically (even a shell script capable of doing this would be enough) [06:16] what time is it out tehre [06:16] DBO maybe with hdparm [06:17] not sure though [06:17] meff, yeah, I think it would be a really cool feature if my program didn't wake up the hdd all the time... but you know... linux sucks enough to not tell me how =P [06:17] hehe [06:18] hey [06:18] Hello all, I am trying to install Intrepid Desktop from LiveCD, and I am not getting any partitions listed, Any suggests? [06:18] i wonder if there is an easy way to setup a network between two linux computers? [06:18] elpargo.... when i'm looking online its saying i should go to language preferences and just check "chinese" as a supported language... however english is the only language listed and its listed in chinese because the ubuntu install is chinese... how do get the option for other language packs? [06:18] So I've been having these graphic freeze-up problems with Ubuntu 8.10 (clean install). I just found the following in the X log from the last session: [06:18] [mi] EQ overflowing.

I know its GNOME Do's fault. I wrote it to do some disk intensive things from time to time. Which is fine if the disk is spun up... [06:19] maxxist: and that is? [06:19] petester it all depends on what you want to network [06:20] dinkus, then you need the language packs. [06:20] Hilton downgrade to 8.04 if this computer is vital to you [06:20] right but when i search in synaptic i dont know what to search for... everything comes up empty... am i missing a repository?

[06:24] opening the router config to check takes so long [06:24] hehe [06:24] gigel2007: these are CLI servers.. you cant play directly on it.. you need to connect to it from a CSS game.. [06:24] gigel2007: they are dedicated servers [06:24] what does gnome use to xfer files around... is it specifically wrote or is it like an rsync front end type of thing? [06:24] asas: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [06:24] who knows anything about fakeraid and x-fi [06:24] djhash: oh ok thanks ! [06:25] asas: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg should do it [06:26] Anyone willing to help? [06:26] WHEN I drag and drop from the usb drive a file to FILE System, it says I don't have permistion, do I need to be logged in as root to do that?

[06:27] no [06:27] use sudo [06:27] puzzlerok: you just state your issue in support channels :) [06:27] I've got 4 drives of 160GB each - therefore my actual space is 240GB right? [06:27] why would you want to move something onto / [06:27] whats the fastest way to scan lan for connected clients?

[06:28] ubuntu uses deb [06:28] use alien to convert rpm to deb for ubuntu [06:28] Scumgrief: check pm [06:28] alien suxs [06:28] I just installed 8.10 to see if it would solve some of my problems, it did, but now there seem to be new problems. [06:29] Venin, you mean sniff who is online? [06:29] maxxist: sorry, i just want to be able to transfer files and printing, etc. [06:29] KyPoHja, go write a replacement. [06:29] elpargo: yeah [06:29] KyPoHja: pls explain that [06:29] I can't connect to my wireless network. [06:29] some how my when i select a wallpaper in appearance preference i see a solid color on the screen. is there a way to get the wall paper to show instead of a solid color ? [06:29] Help Please [06:29] Only to some public one nearby. [06:29] elpargo: i believe nmap can do it.. but if possible I want to use something that i dont have to install, hehe [06:29] alien doesn't work well in many cases [06:29] Venin, well when I needed that I used nmap. [06:29] well guys i give up.. chinese should be an easy install === sean is now known as Guest41944 [06:29] !ask | Buntu765 [06:29] Buntu765: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:29] no one can point me in the right direction eh? [06:29] rpm is complex system [06:30] The reason why I asked, is that I just downloaded the latest adobe reader, and it didn't recognize the .deb file. So, I thought I'd try the rpm. [06:30] how do i get my flexcam 2 stop loading when i boot up 8.10 and just run when i want it too with proper video conferencing software [06:30] Did I miss something?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [06:30] does Samba also work for linux computers? [06:30] bn43: so raid 0 makes it 160*2 [06:30] i'm trying to symbolically link a file to /usr/bin so i could simply execute it with the name of the file. When i run it from /usr/bin with ./alarm it says "too many layers of symbolic links" [06:31] Hm. [06:31] then raid 1 on top of that doesn't add any more space [06:31] pail68 i asked the question [06:31] otherwise it says alarm not found [06:31] Petester, samba is an implementation of the windows protocol (SMB) [06:31] KyPoHja: doing raid10 [06:31] paul68: some how my when i select a wallpaper in appearance preference i see a solid color on the screen. is there a way to get the wall paper to show instead of a solid color ? [06:32] so if i want to share printer between linux computers, what should i use? [06:32] how do i run my own executable by name without adding the directory to $PATH? [06:32] shiki9, maybe it's an unsupported format? [06:32] wow [06:32] Petester you can use samba for both windows networking and linux networking. probably your best bet [06:32] Hi, I want to connect my solaris guest to the internet from virtualbox, so I choose the NAT in the adapter option but I can't connect, any hint? [06:32] i see, thanks a lot [06:32] Can anyone help me with configuring my mouse to NOT emulate 3 buttons? Considering all the xorg.conf howto's are obsolete [06:32] Petester, cups, samba, many alternatives really. [06:32] yeah, it means mirror and then stripe or other way around [06:32] elpargo:it is evenhappening to the default wallpaper that came with ubuntu [06:32] Buntu765: i'm suggesting here.. ur better off getting someone more informed.. but first I am assuming flexcam2 is a program being started by init.d.. you can remove it from init.d and then create a script.. to load flexcam2 and then load ur video conferencing program.. [06:33] either way, it is gonna be 160x2 [06:33] Guest41944: you provide the path when you run it, eg /some/dir/myprog args .. or ./myprog args .. (if you're in the same dir as myprog) [06:33] :djhash flexcam is my web [06:33] cam [06:33] question... what is Nautilus using to transfer files... is it some form of rsync? [06:33] shiki9, so it never shows the right background? [06:34] how should i remove all the gui stuff from my ubuntu install? [06:34] Bogus8, between computers? it depends on your connection. [06:34] because when you have to cancel an operation and the move that dir again it can "merge" what you ahve already moved [06:34] prince_jammys: but how can i simply run an executable by name from any directory without adding to $PATH? [06:34] SOmeone has to be able to help me out. I put the proper connection settings in Network Manager and it doesnt save them. It somehow switches what I entered to a 128 Hex key and puts in its own key, is this a bug? [06:34] Guest41944: you can't [06:34] elpargo: to an external hard drive for example [06:34] scientes, that's a lot of packages, you can start by getting rid of xorg [06:34] erlargo :yes it doesn't show the background just a solid brown background [06:34] Bogus8, huh? that's normal diskIO. [06:34] Guest41944: if you want to run it as just 'myprog' , then you have to add the dir it's in to your PATH [06:35] elpargo, cant i just remove all packages that somehow depend on xorg? [06:35] elpargo: how does it do the "merge" part? [06:35] Guest41944, ./ [06:35] Bogus8, What are you doing in nautilus to transfer files? [06:35] prince_jammys hmmm i've done it before and i know it works, let me try again [06:35] scientes, that is what removing xorg will do. [06:35] johnfg: dragging and dropping the "folder" (like when I'm backing up lots of user files) [06:35] Bogus8, merge? [06:35] hmm, it says only 25 to be freed [06:35] if i will upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10...my earlier application will run or not ? [06:36] 25k * [06:36] Buntu765: then you can remove the module.. then use the script to load the module.. [06:36] maybe i have to specify xorg version? [06:36] elpargo: if you have to stop the transfer or it gets stopped... when you re-initiate that same transfer again it recognizes that some files already exist and ask if you want to "merge" the folder [06:36] OK, I agree that it's just the basic io. You could use rsync from the terminal, though. [06:36] D1: supertux2 will crash. there will be segfaults on opera and firefox. [06:36] I really like rsync. [06:36] Guest41944: alternatively, you can run it by invoking an interpreter, if applicable: bash myprog, sh myprog, python myprog, etc. [06:36] i want play emulator famicom i can use apt-get or download site ? [06:36] D1, technically yes, although some things are being reported as troublesome, just as any upgrade. [06:37] johnfg: you talking to me? [06:37] Buntu765: don't ask me how.. i just know that this is a viable solution.. however its not necessary the only solution.. post in forums.. ask around.. but i thought its better to have something than nothing.. [06:37] Bogus8, oh that's normal fileIO, it just check file by file if it was copied. [06:37] so i will have to have a internet to solve that [06:37] johnfg: Ah, I got it... I misread something of yorus [06:37] hmm instaling ubuntu-mobile kinda messed up my computer and didnt fix itsself when removing i' [06:37] Bogus8, Yeah, sorry about that. [06:37] my xchat is stuck at full screen [06:38] Bogus8, Did you need to use rsync? [06:38] so normal fileIO can do that... interesting... obviously windows can not do that [06:38] scientes, you need to get rid of all the packages that where installed. [06:38] johnfg: no, but I was just wondering if that is what it was because it sort of feels like it [06:38] Bogus8, actually that's a feature of nautilus, cp can do that too. [06:38] is anybody interested in reading 2.5 pages about wifi encryption, email encryption with GPG and IM encryption with off-the-record? I'm writing a research paper formy Computer ENgineering class and looking for someone who knows a little about encryption to read it over and tell me if it makes sense [06:38] Bogus8, rsync is used over a network. [06:38] argg its a pain [06:38] elpargo: cool... good to know as I really don't run a desktop very often... mostly for recovery off a live cd [06:39] shouldnt this only force password request every 120 minute? http://rafb.net/p/7ThNVL31.html [06:39] elpargo: you don't need to use rsync over the network for it to be useful [06:39] there should be a easier way [06:39] erlargo:i guess there is no solution to this problem [06:39] Who knows about mounting .iso images? I backed up one of my games into an iso image and I want to play it on my computer. Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 [06:39] elpargo: rsync can be useful many different ways due to it's archiving ability [06:39] Bogus8, that fact that it works doesn't means it should be used, besides why go to the network card if you can do direct disk access? [06:40] Grim_, several ways, if you google for "ubuntu mount iso" you will get them all. [06:40] elpargo: are you sure that rsync automatically goes to the NIC? I've done some VERY fast hard drive to hard drive xfers with rsync [06:40] ubuntu is funny a times. they had a perfectly good clock settings to set up weather info and sync with ntp servers. I have no how to do it in ibex [06:40] !iso | Grim_ [06:41] Grim_: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [06:41] hey.. i'm making a script that includes to kill a program using its pid.. i have a pid file.. currently my script looks like this "kill $(cat PIDFILE)" .. this atleast worked when I typed it in terminal.. the question is.. will that work inside a script? or is there a better way (a more linuxy way) [06:41] Bogus8, not really, maybe there is a shortcut in the source. but then why not use cp? [06:42] isnt this the correct syntax in sudoers file? Defaults env_reset, timestamp_timeout=120 [06:42] elpargo: because rsync -a automatically "sync's" things and make sure anything that has changed is updated [06:42] djhash, that works, also `cat file` [06:42] elpargo: and you can use -n to do test runs to see how much is trying to get transfered if you are having trouble and trying to sort out where the problem is [06:43] elpargo: those are backticks.. right? [06:43] djhash: $( ) is preferred [06:43] XFCE rules. [06:43] Bogus8, sure those are it's features. [06:43] djhash, yes [06:44] faryshta it certainly does. I am in love with it these days [06:44] Venin: looks like it, but if you use "sudo visudo" it will stop you from messing it up [06:44] elpargo: so when moving lots of data why not use something that can be redone if you forgot a certain switch and only transfered half of your data [06:44] I just connected a secondary display to my laptop, and changed screen resolution. Now I can move my cursor all over both screens, but my applications can't be placed to the right on the screen to the right. I can however move them out of the left display (to the left) [06:44] I actually find funny how the forums fill with "GNOME DON'T HAVE ANY FEATURE" and "KDE CRASHED" jejeje. [06:45] anyone know how to keep join/parts in xchat-gnome off? [06:45] prince_jammys: elparg: is there somewhere either of you can direct me to read about these syntaxes? [06:45] stdin: i know.. but it doesnt work [06:45] Bogus8, isn't that what merge does? [06:45] djhash: #bash [06:45] I would love to learn if I can put tabs on X-Chat. [06:45] stdin: i still get asked for password quite oftenly [06:45] elpargo: is merge a command line app? [06:45] prince_jammys: thanks [06:45] how can i remove old kernels [06:46] maxxxist good to know I am not alone with this XFCE stuff. jejeje. [06:46] Bogus8, eh? no the merge of nautilus. [06:46] BitWise, that is annoying isn't it? I just stick with x-chat... like it better anyway. [06:46] djhash: read the guide in the topic of the channel, and hang out there if you want to learn bash. [06:46] elpargo: ah, because as I said, I rarely use a desktop with linux... mainly as a recovery tool via a live cd [06:46] prince_jammys: awesome.. thanks alot.. [06:46] redfish: hmm, i'll check it out. [06:47] elpargo: but I have several headless servers with no X [06:47] Uplink: you can remove them in synaptic [06:47] faryshta yeah xfce comes with so many sweet themes. its really fast. It runs all gnome stuff no problem. I dont miss gnome at all. [06:47] Bogus8, as far as I can tell merge will make sure all files in src are present in dest, but not dest in src, [06:47] hey guys...i have a question... [06:47] The only thing I miss is the cube but I never really used it. [06:48] elpargo: right, simiilar to rsync which is why I thought maybe Nautilus might have just been calling rsync [06:48] My computer is 2 years old but runs faster than the new ones at work. [06:48] faryshta yeah some of the compiz goodies were nice to play with. but only for show and tell. I too didnt use them much [06:48] Bogus8, if you really want this integration I suggest you take a look at nautilus-script, you can write a bash script to call rsync. [06:49] elpargo: nope, not looking to do the intergration... just wondering if that is how Nautilus was doing it, or if it was something written into Nautilus as I find it very nifty [06:49] admin_masu3710 just ask. dont ask to ask [06:49] i wrote a lil script that stores user name and id into a dictionary file...the key is the user id.. [06:49] hi.... [06:49] stdin: maybe i should separate it with a space and not a comma? [06:50] Bogus8, for that you will need to either ask in a gnome channel, or go read the source, but I'm almost certain they wrote their own. [06:50] Defaults env_reset timestamp_timeout=120 [06:50] like that? [06:50] so how exactly do i remove my old kernels [06:50] elpargo: cool, thanks for the discussion [06:50] now i want to add more user information such as phone number and address...what should i use instead of dictionary? [06:50] I heard about one of the Ubuntu Developers made a CD of metal music. How true is that? [06:50] Uplink, just uninstall the packages. [06:50] Bogus8, welcome :) [06:51] elpargo: yea but how can i look for the packages -.-" [06:51] faryshta: yes. jono bacon. the project name is severed fifth if you want to google it [06:51] admin_masu3701, what is a "dictionary file" and what language? [06:51] elpargo: yea but how can i look for the packages -.-" === kinnaz_ is now known as KiNnaZ [06:51] Uplink, same way you look for other packages? [06:51] Thank you ushimitsudoki etc. [06:51] elpargo: you dont know what your talking about... you dont help at all [06:52] Uplink: aptitude search image |grep linux [06:52] Uplink, your the one that doesn't knows :) [06:52] IcemanV9: Thank You [06:52] hey all anyone here using garmin mobile pc with ubuntu? [06:52] Uplink, open synaptics and look for linux [06:52] Have someone here tried LXDE? [06:53] faryshta: yes. it is nice, but eventually i settled on XFCE for my desktop. it is worth a look i would say [06:53] Uplink: when you remove old image, it'll remove from the grub automatically [06:53] sorry this is wrong chennel to ask about python [06:53] Thanks ushi, I was using it but my computer started to heat up a lot so I changed back to XFCE, and besides LXDE is to much like W.XP that brings me bad memories jejeje. [06:54] IcemanV9: oh sweet thanx... synaptic will do the job right? what if i feel more comfortable with "sudo aptitude remove " ??? [06:54] admin_masu3701, yes use #python. [06:54] admin_masu3701 I don't know many about python but I have worked on C++ and pHp, maybe I can help. [06:55] Uplink: if you like aptitude, then do 'sudo aptitude' and look at the list of 'obsolete packages' [06:55] Uplink: i always use cli .. so the short answer is yes. the command will work. [06:55] prince_jammys: kk thanx..... [06:55] IcemanV9: cli? [06:56] Uplink: sorry. command line == cli [06:56] Uplink: command line interface. they'll be listed in aptitude's menu === Cueball is now known as Cueball|Away [06:56] BTW, Hurray for OBAMA, lets hope he make his promises and use OpenOffice instead of MS-Office.

[06:57] I have downloaded googletalk-setup.exe [06:57] and want to install using wine in my ubuntu machine [06:58] but it shows the following error [06:58] ywhy would you install googletalk? [06:58] hey all. i like how ubuntu allows me to access remote drives through ssh under places -> connect to server. but it seems that i can only access this through nautilus. for instance, if i want to save a file to that location through firefox, the server isn't visible in the 'places' menu on the right hand side of the save file dialogue. is there a way around this? where, exactly, are these remote folders being mounted? [06:58] google talk encountered an internal error and will close [06:58] did you look up google talk on winehq database [06:58] pidgin can do it.. [06:58] yeah [06:58] and when the gtalk window opens it is blank and hangs [06:58] nirupuma: you know there are native clients that will support google talk? [06:58] at least the chatting part.. [06:58] its pretty much jabber [06:58] it is jabber/xmpp [06:58] ya [06:58] can anybody help in knowing the exact problem [06:58] but pidgin actually aliases it to google talk, so they can set the server to talk.google.com === lksdjf is now known as Tapnzout [06:59] GoogleTalk is based on Pidgin. [06:59] I am not talking aount an aternative for gtalk like pdigin or tapioca [06:59] i removed devilspie and xchat is stilled fed up, how do i reset the window manager setting for it? [06:59] nirupama: I use pidgin with my googletalk buddies. however if you must use googletalk in wine, you will need to take that to #winehq as it is not an ubuntu problem [06:59] so.. can anybody help me recover a failed upgrade to intrepid? [07:00] nirupama I never got gtalk working in wine. just use pidgin.

[07:09] Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [07:09] thanks [07:09] oh.. there's a simpler way [07:09] howdy! question: what do you all recommend for a ultra-compatible laptop with at least an nvidia 8600, and a core2duo, and a good network card (preferably a 17" screen, but 15" is ok to) [07:09] ;-0 [07:10] i wouldn't recommend nvidia [07:10] if i was trying to be compatible [07:10] brand0con, how do i remove the totem plugin [07:10] app_server: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/installing-tomcat-6-on-ubuntu/ [07:10] t0406peru, still there? [07:10] i'd recommend anything with intel [07:10] yeah [07:10] or many ati chipsets [07:10] I have no idea what is optical audio but try this. [07:10] that have completely open drivers [07:10] well, I _need_ good 3d compatibility, and as we all know ati sucks, and I'm not too keen on intel's chipsets --- yet [07:10] On terminal type "lspci". [07:10] johnny_, nvidia > ati [07:10] b33r, yeah right [07:10] their drivers blow [07:10] have to wait ages for new stuff [07:11] nvidias? [07:11] they provide thier own GL [07:11] yeah.. they provide their own GL exetnsion [07:11] it means .. [07:11] k, now what? [07:11] and try to find anything which say sound or something. [07:11] that i can't even use my thin clients [07:11] I am not averse to using proprietary drivers, more important is a usable system [07:11] never had any problems with nvidia drivers [07:11] ati open drivers are decent with the right card [07:11] b33r, you're not a developer.. [07:11] true [07:11] try upgrading to newer kernels before THEY DECIDE YOU CAN [07:11] or checking out newer xorgs.. BEFORE THEY DECIDE YOU CAN [07:11] you have to wait on them all the time [07:11] it sucks [07:12] !enter [07:12] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:12] johnny_, if you wait is because the kernels are being tested. [07:12] arooni-mobile: ive never done had to do that before but sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla [07:12] unless you are developing them :) [07:12] faryshta, you rocks. [07:12] or need a new feature that only exists in a newer one [07:12] arooni-mobile: go into your firefox settings under the applications tab and check what plugin is used for wmv files [07:12] actually pack and test are part of development [07:13] ive always had good luck using windows media player plugin [07:13] hi, my computer just (just) started freezing up randomly. I am running memtest, and i have come across 40 errors so far... :( i have written down some information,,, can any of it be help, could it be because of overheating? b/c it literally just started acting up. I have had the computer on for about 5 hours... it is a laptop, but it has not been used onend for 5 hours === tonyr2k is now known as tonyr2k8 [07:13] t0406peru, what it said when you push lspci? [07:13] hi, my computer just (just) started freezing up randomly. I am running memtest, and i have come across 40 errors so far... :( i have written down some information,,, can any of it be help, could it be because of overheating? b/c it literally just started acting up. I have had the computer on for about 5 hours... it is a laptop, but it has not been used onend for 5 hours any help please? [07:13] also.. they deprecated my last card too.. :( [07:13] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) [07:14] !intelhda | t0406peru [07:14] t0406peru: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [07:14] ? [07:14] FAJALOU: turn off your computer, open it up, and push the memory slots down hard, then try again - if nothing works, replace the ram [07:14] johnny_, ati x300? [07:14] elpargo, ??? [07:14] FAJALOU: if you failed memtest ur pretty much sunk [07:14] johnny_, nm then, [07:14] I think the problem of FAJALOU is because of drivers, maybe the GPU. [07:15] i have an acer laptop with an intel express gfx on board. i have 2gigs ram and 1.7 centrino. will compiz fusion work on it? [07:15] i actually had an ati x300 in my server box.. the xrandr worked ouf the box. i had screen rotation, screen merging, etc [07:15] brand0con: even if it had been woring fine? [07:15] minion007, most likely [07:15] sweet [07:15] thanks johnny [07:15] hello which is faster xfce or lxde? [07:15] 99% of the plugins wil lbe fine [07:15] ooglebutte, what was that for? "!intelhda" [07:15] The screen resolution settings say I have 1680x1050 set, but a Print Screen gives me a 1400x1050 image. [07:16] t0406peru: automatic reaction to seeing anything about those cards - apologies [07:16] mm... vegan root beer floats are yummy.. and i'm not even vegan.. [07:16] ooglebutte, I don't get it... is it a bad thing? [07:16] Is there a way to adjust/tweak CPU throttling in Hardy Heron? The new version of Ubuntu Tweak for some reason does not support it anymore. Any thoughts??? [07:16] what is ubuntu tweak?? [07:17] FAJALOU: ram can go bad, just a sad fact of life. Frogzoo is right, you should reseat the ram first of all but if you get the same memtest result, then it's surely bad [07:17] why would you need that.. can't you just use the applet cpu frequency scaling applet in the panel? [07:17] either that.. or the cpufreq-set on the command line [07:17] doesnt matter what the error codes are, its either good or bad ram [07:17] more errors,,, joy [07:17] ok.. lemme try again [07:18] johnny_: Ubuntu Tweak is a nice little program that makes it easier to adjust some settings in ubuntu.. what about these other options you mentioned? [07:18] brand0con: i was thinking that it just overheated? [07:18] t0406peru: no - just needs sme setting up and the link tells all about it [07:18] i tried upgrading my ubuntu machine from hardy to intrepid, it failed somewhere due to a manually installed copy of python-setuptools (i'm not the only one who admins this box), now i'm stuck with a box that is not finished upgrading, what can i do? [07:18] could it possibly have anything to do with an overheating gpu? [07:19] FAJALOU: certainly possible in a laptop. what makes you think it overheated [07:19] it says Bad upgrade: 'intrepid' != 'gutsy" on the console [07:19] BUT I"M UPGRADING FROM HARDY! [07:19] Im running World of Warcraft in Wine. Since the update to Intrepid my sound is really bad and cracking. What is the preferred sound driver to use in Wine, alsa, esound? [07:20] brand0con: it's been running for a long time; and this specific laptop model has had overheating issues in the past (like things catching on fire bad) [07:20] :( [07:20] ooglebutte, what link... I didn't see a link. [07:20] KenSentMe: I would say ALSA, but I think that question is better suited for #wine === ne2k___ is now known as ne2k__ [07:20] KenSentMe: I had a similar issue that turned out to be 'cause the cd audio was up in alsamixer [07:20] !intelhda > t0406peru [07:20] t0406peru, please see my private message [07:20] johnny_: sudo dpkg --configure -a (is that right syntax? ... my brain farted at the moment) [07:21] no [07:21] ooglebutte, hmm, let me check that [07:21] ooglebutte, ok, I got the link. thanks. [07:21] np [07:21] FAJALOU: time for a new laptop i think [07:22] * dubi wishes someone would be nice enough to tell him which is faster - lxde or xfce? [07:22] dubi: I would guess lxde [07:22] dubi: I've heard lxde is [07:22] IcemanV9, i mean.. it is the right syntax, but it doesn't do anything [07:23] * dubi is happy and thankful [07:23] * dubi ^_^ [07:23] i fixed the setuptools issue , by removing the manually installed copy, i just can't figure out how to resume the upgrade [07:23] hi! anyone know of any other terminal based irc client ? [07:23] johnny_: it had happened to me once ... i don't remember how i fix it at the moment [07:23] besides irssi [07:23] irssi msandbu [07:23] that is the good one [07:24] FAJALOU, your problem is definitely a heat problem, is more a technical issue than software, maybe will be good to get tech support about your hardware. [07:24] bitchx is the other, but i don't even know if it is maintained, oh.. finch.. which is the cli version of pidgin, but it probably isn't all that good at irc.. [07:24] msandbu: bitchx? [07:24] irssi >>>>> bitchx .. nobody i know uses bitchx since irssi came out [07:25] brand0con: it's been an issue on this model for a long time: and no new laptop; apparently it's a design flaw where dust can get into it and such... [07:26] what is linux? [07:26] we are .. [07:26] !linux [07:26] Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [07:26] johnny_: i wonder if having a gutsy source in /etc/apt/sources.list could cause that error === Zzero is now known as aleX-xx === Onyx_ is now known as Guest35428 [07:26] prince_jammys, i'm sure it could, but i don't have such a thing in there .. it's all intrepid [07:27] weird [07:27] is there an app that can do yahoo photo sharing for linux? [07:27] i am not able to update from 8.04 to 8.10 ...i am having the alternate cd ? [07:28] ubuntu needs a channel for software requests.. [07:28] that aren't tech support [07:28] !brainstorm [07:28] Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [07:28] I thought #ubuntu-devel would be good for that;) [07:28] Dabbu, you probably need to change /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades from lts to normal [07:29] johnny_: i have done that [07:30] why can i not succeed in getting vbox to get a dhcp address from the same dhcp server as my "real" nic? i can do it with ease in other distros, just not yet in ubuntu. ideas? === ne2k___ is now known as ne2k__ [07:31] johnny_: did u disable universe & multiverse? leave main & restricted? maybe it will lessens the need to upgrade all 3rd party apps until the core OS is done upgraded first. [07:32] kc8pxy, wrong network interface config in virtualbox? [07:32] IcemanV9, that's not the problem.. [07:32] it just says Bad upgrade 'intrepid' != 'gutsy' [07:33] johnny_: same net interface config as with my other distro. host interface. [07:34] johnny_: what a crappy error message [07:35] it never should have hard failed, it should have told me i had a local copy of setuptools installed .. just like it does with config files.. [07:35] something a bit more verbose would be nice [07:35] instead of crashing in the middle and leaving my system in an inconsistant state [07:36] Does anyone know if you can inject with ATH9k ??? [07:36] someone know how to enable an optical wire "toslink" on ubuntu? [07:37] Hi, how do I comment a large area of code in an sh file without using # ? [07:37] that's the only way [07:37] noting like /* */ ? [07:37] there are editors that make it easier to comment blocks tho.. like the editor in gnome (or vi itself) [07:37] no [07:38] ok thanks [07:38] if you have the proper plugin for gedit, you can highlight large blocks and comment it all at once.. or uncomment [07:38] faryshta: i would guess that a package included in ubuntu studio might have such a feature [07:38] I believe kate has such a facility... [07:38] I think my real problem is that ubuntu thinks my audio driver is ALC885 but it really is ALC889A... how do I force Ubuntu to use the ALC889A driver? [07:39] johnny_: geany can do this (i am using it right now) :) [07:39] every editor has some plugin or whatever.. i'm sure [07:39] you don't need to tell me what does.. [07:40] i was just offering advice based on tools that are likely already preinstalled if you are using ubuntu [07:40] johnny_: srry i misread the logs and thought you were asking for editors that could. my mistake [07:41] hey guys im getting an error when i try to update ubuntu can i get some help? [07:41] this is the error im getting [07:41] I need help installing ubuntu [07:41] It keeps freezing when I try to install it [07:42] what do you mean it keeps freezeing? [07:42] OK, I need lots of help. Right now I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Mac Mini, and for some reason the CD installer can't see my external drives (one of which being the drive I want to install onto) from the live session. It can see them if I go to the installer straight from the CD splash screen, however, but I can't do that because the installer fails as soon as it installs GRUB, and according to macubuntu.blogspot.com this is beca [07:43] johnny_, what kind of development do you do? Anything with java? I'm getting into it, but I'm undecided about an IDE on ubuntu [07:43] definitely not java [07:43] so for now, it's just been command line goodness [07:43] ah [07:43] When Im running the install cd, the install freezes in the middle, the cd stops spinning in the drive and I get nowhere. Ive tried using both the normal installer and the safe video installer. Can I install Ubuntu in a raid setup? [07:43] try the alternative install cd [07:43] GPG error: http://download.tuxfamily.org feisty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2D6CFB44DD800CD9Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081029.5)]/dists/intrepid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs [07:43] Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081029.5)]/dists/intrepid/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs [07:43] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

[07:44] johnny_: any other guesses? [07:44] kc8pxy, maybe you need ip forwarding? [07:45] johnny_, what kind of development environment do you use? just cli, or do you use an IDE? [07:45] anyone here have experience with installing cPanel? [07:45] sorry [07:45] (had a connection problem) [07:45] i tried eclipse for php.. it was also good at xslt... you need like 2G ram to do it right tho :( [07:46] i mainly use gedit atm.. but i enjoyed kate for awhile [07:46] urgh, that's outside of my RAM in my laptop by a large margin [07:46] or just the CLI... [07:46] vi/nano.. [07:46] I guess I'll try out gedit -- eclipse is nice due to autocomplete and other not necessary items, but sweet to have [07:46] need to refresh on the vi keybindings tho.. tha'ts a fact.. [07:46] johnny_: will a bridge simply not work if i don't have forwarding set? === bagus is now known as `almost_easy` [07:47] kc8pxy, which version of virtualbox? [07:47] you should need at least 1.6 [07:47] 1.6.x [07:47] hey guys, any help with this? Ubuntu thinks my audio driver is ALC885 but it really is ALC889A... can I force Ubuntu to use the ALC889A driver? [07:48] johnny_: uhhh.. wow.. 1.5.6 [07:48] kc8pxy, are you doing ltsp stuff with that?? [07:48] argh, I definitely need to save some pennies to get a new laptop - the mobility is just too nice to sit at my desktop all the time [07:48] if you are.. just talk to ogra or sbalneav, they can help [07:48] johnny_: yeah, trying to test my thinclients on the guest, connecting to the server on the host. [07:48] kc8pxy, come to #ltsp, and wait til one of them two are about.. they both use ubuntu with virtualbox [07:49] maybe they know another way [07:49] kc8pxy: fwiw, bridged network won't work on wireless, only wired [07:49] morning, how do I turn off the large balloon that network manager puts up when it connects to my wireless AP? [07:50] IcemanV9: you mean in ubuntu? done bridged for wifi(in master mode) on gentoo. turned the box into a WAP :) [07:51] kc8pxy: yes on ubuntu. i've tried. learned it doesn't work. [07:52] if it works on other distros, it can work on ubuntu [07:52] IcemanV9: ugh :-( [07:52] anything that works on any given distro, can be made to work on another one [07:52] johnny_: how then? i've been tried to find a solution from google, forums, whatsnot [07:53] i don't know.. i rarely use ubuntu [07:53] would it be worth upgrading to ubuntu server 8.10 from 8.04 on a home web/db server? [07:53] hi everyone, is it just me or firefox is not working?? [07:53] i'm a gentoo user.. i just happen to maintain an ubuntu ltsp server [07:53] ddoom, does the server work in it's current state? [07:53] Fiberchunks: yes [07:54] if it does, then leave 'er alone -- plus 8.04 is an LTS release, which means support will be around for 5 years [07:54] t0406peru, try removing the driver you don't use. [07:54] Is there somewhere I can find a list of packages installed by the default Ubuntu and Kubuntu installations? [07:54] Fiberchunks, support from ubuntu.. which i don't find very reliable [07:54] support elsewhere won't last for that long [07:54] meh, at least it's support [07:54] even support from this chat won't last if nobody is around that uses that old stuff [07:54] and more importantly, regular security updates and so forth as necessary [07:55] you only get real support past1 year.. if you pay [07:55] I'm more concerned (as far as servers go), with the ability to maintain my security patches and updates -- I don't care about new functionality anywhere near as much for a server [07:56] Fiberchunks, until all the howtos you find on the internet are not useful cuz they all rely on new features that you just don't have :) [07:56] I'm just wondering if this is a known problem in 8.10, I use custom menus and buttons in firefox, and each time I restart firefox, when it updates extensions or when I install an extension or theme, all my button disappear, I have to close Firefox completely and drag the buttons back where I want them. [07:56] johnny_, that's what google cache is for, or the wayback machine ;) [07:56] Fiberchunks, imo.. oss is moving too quick to rely on that atm.. [07:57] johnny_: i have a several different web servers (in vb) to test; i must be wired in order to connect to it or check the page from it. i much rather to be mobile and work on it. [07:57] when things settle.. lts becomes more feasible.. but we have yet to reach parity .. [07:57] uhmm?? [07:57] hey i have a question, Can anyone recommend a partition manager for my ubuntu hdd? I wanna free up 20gbs or so for extra space for my windows xp thats on a 20gb hdd [07:57] ssh? [07:57] aerosolapple: gparted [07:57] yes, ssh [07:57] yeah.. get the gparted livecd..

I had installed the non-free version ... [08:23] nice [08:23] Hello , i have file that's encoded as UTF-8 , when i used the command "cat filename.txt" i cant see the text , i just see : ���������� ?

[08:25] ooglebutte: uhm didn't quite catch what you were saying [08:26] This new network-manager (Intrepid) is way too smart. I wish it didn't try to stablish wireless connection if I'm wired (as the one at Hardy did). Can I configure that? [08:26] how can I get Shockwave working in Intrpid (in Firefox) [08:26] ? [08:26] ooglebutte: it asks me for the password if i do that ooglebutte> Cristi: is that bad? [08:26] cheers e-frame [08:26] is there any command to view info about a package from apt ?

[08:28] zetheroo: no [08:28] ooglebutte: i think i won't use it since it doesn't sound that good [08:28] <\Kira> e-frame: thats now the info im looking for :(. I was told a command a while ago that showed recognized devices at there point like /dev/pilot/ so I know what to mount. [08:29] \Kira: are you talking about 'fdisk -l' ? [08:29] what could I do with a server? [08:29] seriously [08:29] \Kira: what device is it about ? [08:29] <\Kira> prince_jammys: yeah, thats it. thanks [08:29] Oh, I see I can set each known connection not to automatically connect. Cool [08:29] \Kira: sudo [08:29] This will suffice [08:30] <\Kira> e-frame: prince_jammys answered my question for me, thanks though. It was "sudo fdisk -l" [08:30] is there a good way to revert an upgrade? after installing yesterdays kernel update, my computer either locks up completely or crashes out and returns to a gdm login when the screensaver is activated or the computer goes to sleep [08:30] k [08:30] <\Kira> prince_jammys: yeah, im gonna write it down now, its like the fifth time ive forgotten it.

I have to set them, dis- and re-enable networking every time I log in. [08:34] how i can copy to smb? i tryed - cp -r /FolderName smb://ComputerName/testfolder [08:35] FD_F: maybe you can mount the samba share first. [08:35] FD_F→ either you use Nautilus or mount the share as a CIFS share [08:36] mangetron: it is mounted i can see it on my desktop [08:36] !samba [08:36] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[08:46] hello , any body here know any good programs on hacking Wireless Networks ? [08:47] kebomix, yeah, try MS notepad === ne2k___ is now known as ne2k__ [08:47] does all the sound cards with spdif support audio passthrough? [08:47] i do fresh install of intrepid, but it seems slower than hardy on the same machine. how come ? [08:48] how can I find out the Version of my Ubuntu? [08:48] turtle_, places-about ubuntu [08:49] Hello! In intrepid I've found that if I use my fn+arrow keys to change the brightness of my laptop monitor, something steals keyboard focus for a while (10-60 seconds), which is very annoying. The only keys I've found that still works during that time is ctrl-alt-backspace and ctrl-alt-f1. Disabling compiz doesn't help. [08:49] lsb_release -a [08:49] turtle_, sorry system [08:49] carpeliam: i can in like 30, im running something in R; menance: still not listed even though im told it's running (qterm just hangs btw) [08:49] ok [08:49] any good programs for wireless networks hacking ? [08:49] 6.04 GHrdy Heron [08:49] kismet.. it's the only one.. [08:50] 8 [08:50] Bad: new and old password are too similar <--- how can i not get this error? [08:50] besides the password [08:50] i have 64BIT computer but now i have 32 bit ubuntu ( 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:43:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux) so i went to re-download 8.10 and i found out the filename called " .*amd64.iso" , will it work on my P45 intel chipset ? [08:50] Hpo, yes [08:50] thanks [08:51] but in my humble opinion, there is no point to use the 64 version [08:51] kebomix: aircrack-ng kismet etc. [08:51] e-frame: i dont know how to use them :( [08:51] hi, I totally messed up the alsa modules. [08:51] some forum suggested I should install module-assistant [08:52] then run m-a update, then m-a a-i [08:52] how do i reverse that ? [08:52] kebomix: Wireless security auditing is not for the faint of heart. And also you probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place. [08:52] is there really no way to view the wifi networks in the vicinity on ubuntu 8.10? [08:53] balle_: Network Manager does that [08:53] menance , woundnt 64bit be faster ? [08:54] hi any one experience this 'Error code: ssl_error_access_denied_alert' in FF3? especially when accessing gmail [08:55] Since I upgraded to intrepid, fusesmb crashs(?) shortly after mounting and brings "Transport endpoint is not connected" on the shell. There is nothing in the logs. So, any hint for further error-search? [08:55] erki: can i apt-get that or what? [08:57] how do I make a folder with full permissions? [08:57] mkdir html [08:57] what else do I need to type :) [08:57] chmod 777 html [08:57] Ecunny , man chmod [08:57] is there really no way to view the wifi networks in the vicinity on ubuntu 8.10? [08:57] so just "chmod 777 html" [08:58] Ecunny: yes but do you know what those numbers represent [08:58] Nope :) [08:58] first number is owner, second number is group, third number is other [08:58] 4 = read, 2 = write, 1=execute [08:58] after this update http://rafb.net/p/0ZDzLj99.html i now have the lockup/crashing after screensaver/blank screen. is there a way to revert that? menance: see, it was just a minor upgrade from 2.6.27-7.15 to 2.6.27-7.16 :\ [08:58] 4+2+1 = 7 [08:58] hello [08:58] hey channel! :) Anyone here who is familiar with SSH and the Motd in Intrepid? When I ssh into my Intrepid machine the motd just isn't shown... [08:59] so if you want read and execute permissions on a directory for the owner only, and no one else had permissions at all, you would do: chmod 500 html [09:00] ah, ok [09:00] it's the intranet so everyone should be aloowed access [09:00] th3_b0b: PrintMotd yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [09:01] hi [09:01] Ecunny: well no [09:01] is it your public_html directory? [09:02] schlort: thank you very much, did the trick :-) [09:02] th3_b0b: you're welcome! [09:02] balle_: Network Manager is included in the default install. It's the network-looking icon in the top right corner. [09:02] erki: the network-config? [09:02] is anyone here comes from China [09:03] WooAnn: there are in #ubuntu-cn [09:03] ail-sendmail-perl libsexymm2 libstdc++5 libstdc++6-4.3-dev libsys-hostname-long-perl libview2 module-assistant po-debconf prelink vmware-package [09:03] ail-sendmail-perl libsexymm2 libstdc++5 libstdc++6-4.3-dev libsys-hostname-long-perl libview2 module-assistant po-debconf prelink vmware-package [09:03] my bad [09:03] ziroday [09:03] ok [09:03] siccness, it will be yes [09:03] balle_: Umm, no, I don't think so. [09:03] balle_: Either way, if you left click the network icon you should get a list of wireless networks. [09:04] anyone in here ever use apt-p2p ? and if so do you think you could run it with apt-proxy-ng? [09:04] balle_: And right-clicking just gives you some checkboxes and stuff. [09:04] erki: then i don't have it and the network-config thing doesn't do that and are you sure you're talking 8.10? cause 8.04 had it for sure but i can't find it in this one [09:05] balle_: Then try apt-getting them. Like "apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome". [09:05] erki: will do thx man [09:05] balle_: Very wierd that it's missing though. I installed Intrepid yesterday, and I'm almost certain it was there by default... [09:06] erki: balle_ network-manager is included in intrepid by default [09:06] ziroday: I suspected as much. I wonder where it went on balle_s install... [09:07] ziroday: do you know the code for it in terminal? [09:07] balle_: the code for what? [09:08] ziroday: because i can't find it anywhere only network config and that's crap code for the network-manager? because network manager doesnt work [09:08] schlort: a second question: How can I tell (or even: configure) how often the "dynamic" info (Processes, Load, users...) is updated? I logged in a second and third user but the motd still says "1 user", Process-Count is wrong as well... [09:09] balle_: I am sorry, I have no idea what on earth you are on about. What is wrong? [09:09] Is it worth it to upgrade to 8.10 [09:09] ziroday: i'm trying to get into the network-manager and i can't find it anywhere on interprid [09:09] NeoGeo64: why do you want to upgrade? [09:10] idk [09:10] balle_: its in the top right of the menu bar, it looks like two computers [09:10] just figured since its newer [09:10] can anyone tell me why sound suddenly stopped working when I upgraded to Intrepid? Testing sound in the sound preferences gives me "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument". [09:10] NeoGeo64: try the livecd to make sure there is nothing glaringly broken, then sure, go ahead [09:10] th3_b0b: i have no idea about that one [09:11] balle_: right click the icon and go to Edit Connections, you can configure your network settings there [09:11] is there a version of ubuntu for my mac pro [09:11] NeoGeo64: the latest version is 8.10 [09:11] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqXi8WmQ_WM [09:11] ziroday: i don't think i have that icon... [09:11] schlort: ok, no problem, i'll try to find it myself! bye! [09:11] !ohmy | menance [09:11] menance: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[09:16] balle_: it should be there, its not an applet. [09:16] balle_: so is it there?

[09:52] ikonia: i know that it needs a shell in order to run and the alt+f2 shell seems to be doing something different then a normal console...? [09:52] how do I find where plugins are installed for Firefox? === babyrobbe is now known as lobo [09:52] remoteCTR1: "atl+f2" is a none-X11 tty [09:52] remoteCTR1: you need to run it on an X11 Desktop [09:52] I was reading the configuration instruction on Sun web site.

[09:53] brad1: it has "errors=remount-ro" for your filesystem, so obviously it is encountering errors on boot. Run fsck again and see what it says. [09:54] ikonia: that is basically how i do it at the moment but as said i wanted to run it from alt+f2 so that i dont have a useless console window open all the time... [09:54] When I did a search for Firefox, they are everywhere, making hard to install jre plugin properly. [09:54] Hi, Theres is any way to create images from a Hard Drive and setup a kind of RIS server to deploy images ? (using ubuntu) [09:54] prince_jammys: i'll try that, gimme a sec pls [09:54] pajamian: how can i do that from this live cd? [09:54] remoteCTR1: well, that will probably keep a 'useless console window' [09:54] remoteCTR1 why do you want to run it from alt+f2 console ??? just open a terminal [09:54] remoteCTR1: the alt+F2 console is a non X11 tty [09:55] brad1: fsck /dev/sda1 [09:55] brad1: ... I think [09:55] :P [09:55] when i run xrandr, i get the "Can´t open display" [09:55] ballongen: are you running is as root / [09:55] hi, i would like to know which video drivers am i using now, how can i know it? [09:55] I got firefox and firefox-3.0.3, which one is the correct directory? [09:55] ikonia, yes in safe mode [09:55] ballongen: try a logout/login and see if that fixes it [09:56] ohh [09:56] favro: i just rebooted [09:56] pajamian: this is all it said, seems fine : http://pastebin.com/d2a7fbb40 [09:56] ballongen: didn't see the safe mode bit [09:56] ballongen: as in you have done "su - " [09:56] ballongen: or you've booted into safe mode [09:56] remoteCTR1: Another idea might be that the program needs some environment variables which are not set. You could try alt+f2 " > /tmp/program.log 2>&1" to possibly get some hints. [09:57] ok, i am in safe mod, and xrandr gives me "can´t open display" [09:57] Hello? [09:57] brad1: unmount the filesystem and run it again [09:57] remoteCTR1 forget alt+f2 - thats a tty, launch it from the X11 Desktop [09:57] ikonia: i wasnt aware of that i allways start my apps with alt +f2 also firefox asf aso [09:57] remoteCTR1: you "can" do it, but your making it hard for yourself [09:57] gammy: that is a hot hint thanks [09:57] remoteCTR1: why do you launch firefox from a terminal, there is a launcher on your desktop - just click the icon [09:57] hi, i would like to know which video drivers am i using now, how can i know it? [09:58] ikonia: nope there isnt:) [09:58] hi all ... what's the name of the application that let me burn an usbdrive to boot ubuntu ? [09:58] ikonia: I think he means the quickstart in gnome. The default shortcut is alt+f2. CTRL+ALT+F2 is console.. [09:58] hi i got a problem of fonts in ubuntu [09:58] pajamian: same result [09:58] cause I'm using xubuntu and I'd like to install it [09:58] gammy: ahhhh ok, that makes more sense [09:58] remoteCTR1: Do you mean that you're running it from the quicklauncher or a real console? [09:58] ikonia: i believe he is right :) [09:58] brad1: ok, try to reboot now and see what it does. [09:58] hi dear gurus :) === sean is now known as Guest56921 [09:58] ikonia: as said i start ALL of my apps like that no matter if firefox, thunderbird, amarok, console, whatever [09:58] raheem: who ? [09:58] ikonia: NOW i understand what you were saying! [09:58] ikonia: i was like .. what? tty? [09:58] remoteCTR1: yeah when you say alt+f2 you mean the gnome quickstart, right? [09:58] gammy: i enter matlab into alt +f2 [09:58] in gnome the short cut is ALT+f2 [09:58] i think this is weird. the 8.04 version and older worked fine on this computer, this 8.10 version only gives me horizental stripes when the gdm should load [09:59] remoteCTR1: why do you have no icons setup, what "desktop" are you using [09:59] when the login should load even. [09:59] gammy: i frankly spoken have no idea what that is called [09:59] remoteCTR1: yes however alt+f2 is not a "terminal" so I assume he was swapping to a tty [09:59] I have a problem with wireless wpa2 encryption after distribution upgrade to intrepid. Someone here who could help? [09:59] ikonia: nomral gnome desktop but i got like 2 gazillion documents on my desktop and no launchers [09:59] yo yo yo [09:59] remoteCTR1: me neither. But, when you hit alt+f2, what happens? You get a thing that lets you start applications by typing the name of it in, right? [09:59] gammy: precisely [09:59] remoteCTR1: It's known as "run application" I think. [09:59] Yeah. [09:59] remoteCTR1 the launcher is in the applications drop down menu - not actually on your desktop [10:00] * ActionParsnip uses tilde to show his launcher [10:00] remoteCTR1: Applications > Accessories > Terminal [10:00] gammy: well spotted [10:00] ikonia: so it is a link to the launcher, ok:) [10:00] you change TTY if you press CTRL+ALT+F === PublicNMI is now known as Seeder [10:00] tty 7 i think is the default gnome interface [10:00] CSWScrooge: wassup dude [10:00] and by F i mean F1, F2, F3, ...

[10:00] aLeSD: UN]etbootin [10:00] aLeSD: UNetbootin [10:01] remoteCTR1: so open a terminal from applications -> accessories -> terminal and launch matlab in there, then you will get some debugging output [10:01] pajamian thanks [10:01] remoteCTR1: Ok. So what happens if you do what I said previously and look in the .log ? [10:01] sigh [10:01] remoteCTR1: Ie, alt+f2, type in the program followed by > /tmp/foo.log 2>&1 and then reading /tmp/foo.log [10:01] remoteCTR1: What was it? Mat lab? [10:01] ikonia: from console it works just fine, no errors no nothing, but gammy just a sec ill try it out [10:01] I have an old IBM Thinkpad with Intersil Prism 2.5 Chip, worling with hostap driver. While trying to connect I see in "/var/log/ syslog" some lines containing "invalid skb-cb magic" [10:02] it seems to run flawlessly with live cd [10:02] so there might be some old config interfering. Just I can't find it [10:02] CSWScrooge: seems to be some wifi shenannigans === xnixan__ is now known as xnixan [10:02] pajamian: I can't find the package in the repository === __cakey is now known as cakey [10:02] remoteCTR1 stop calling it a console - it's confusing, your NOT using the console [10:03] aLeSD: it isn't, one sec... [10:03] CSWScrooge: lspci it please [10:03] aLeSD: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [10:03] ikonia: its an old mainframe term [10:03] Bad: new and old password are too similar <--- how can i not get this error? besides making the password less similar [10:03] ActionParsnip: whats shenannigans? [10:03] ActionParsnip he's not using a mainframe.....

[10:04] CSWScrooge: its a word to describe happenins going a bit crazy [10:04] Kartagis: If you don't mind changing the password twice, change it once to something completely different, then a second time to what you want [10:04] CSWScrooge: Hang on, trying to find something [10:04] i recently completed installing a LAMP server. how do i make a backup of the current settings? [10:04] CSWScrooge: You might try http://www.thinkwiki.org meanwhile [10:04] ok [10:04] pajamian, DJones: hmm [10:04] CSWScrooge: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=955028 [10:04] hello all! there is also a way to run all crontabs in a command (in order to check if its works) ..? ... thanks! [10:05] thanks [10:05] NET||abuse: check GIMP [10:05] NET||abuse: http://www.osalt.com [10:05] ikonia: if i open a sehll or console or what ever by typing gnome-terminal that would be a cosole right? [10:05] and does anyone know where thunderbird keeps newsgroup passwords? [10:05] He means 'when running it from an x terminal, it works fine. but from gnome-run, or whatever, it doesn't work. which suggests that the program needs to be attached to a terminal to run properly, or run with some options that allow it to be run without an attached terminal.' [10:05] remoteCTR1: it is called a terminal :) [10:05] nachi_: not sure but you could cheat [10:05] gammy: it says locking assertion failure and then comes a backtrace saying something about x-libs... [10:05] i recently completed installing a LAMP server. how do i make a backup of the current settings? [10:05] ActionParsnip: Seen this thread already, have purged network-manager and network-manager gnome and reinstalled without success [10:05] remoteCTR1: its a terminal [10:05] hi, i would like to know which video drivers am i using now, how can i know it? [10:05] Hi people [10:06] remoteCTR1: awesome [10:06] so what is the difference between a console and a terminal? [10:06] how do i backup settings/config of a server? [10:06] prince_jammys it's going to be the shell environment such as PATH or soemthing as it's different for gnome as it is for a login shell [10:06] I copy in terminal .. then try to paste.. its not getting pasted [10:06] !terminal [10:06] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[10:06] its pasting old value [10:06] CSWScrooge: you could boot to livecd and run lshw -C network to see whats gong on. run it on your installed system and comare [10:06] CSWScrooge: maybe you are using a bad driver [10:07] gammy: that is the kind of info that i was looking for:) === user-04 is now known as adr [10:07] ikonia: ActionParsnip whats the difference between a console and a terminal? [10:07] remoteCTR1: If I were you I would create a link in your gnome menu to start mat lab for you [10:07] remoteCTR1: When creating such a link you can check it to run in a terminal. [10:08] remoteCTR1: This should probably solve your problem. [10:08] hello [10:08] gammy: would be best i guess or just keep on opening it from within a terminal [10:08] gee, that sounds like what i recommended about a half hour ago [10:08] prince_jammys: heh [10:08] ActionParsnip: ok, but that will take a few minutes [10:08] <|neon|> after i change my desktop theme settings everything works ok, however the settings are lost everytime i reboot, how can i make the settings stay after rebooting (GNOME) [10:09] remoteCTR1: another trick might be to do "bash -c matlab" from alt+f2 [10:09] remoteCTR1: terminal is the program, it is an input console to the kernel [10:09] can anyone help me with my xorg file? [10:09] remoteCTR1: actually you could try that just for fun. [10:09] hi.. as since network-manager 0.7 there's no way to set the mtu for a vpn connection, can this be done manually inside gconf? [10:09] gammy: should make no difference [10:09] van someone help me with fonts on amarok and winecfg [10:09] bash is not a terminal [10:09] ActionParsnip: ha! there you said it its an input console to the kernel!:) in kde it is even called Konsole [10:10] remoteCTR1: thats WHY its called konsole [10:10] prince_jammys: Ah silly me [10:10] gammy: allready did, works just fine but as said opens a terminal along with matlab, guess i gonna have to live with that [10:10] ActionParsnip: so it is called so but it isnt one? [10:11] remoteCTR1 create a gnome launcher [10:11] remoteCTR1: if you stick to terminal, noobs will get what you mean, its just less confusing but now you know whats what [10:11] remoteCTR1: you can try running it inside a login shell instead. [10:11] ActionParsnip: let me put the question in other words: what is it that you call a console then? only the ttys or what? [10:11] remoteCTR1: bash -l -c 'command' [10:11] CSWScrooge: I've sent you some messages in query, please take a look on them if you will have some time [10:11] remoteCTR1: install tilda instead, then you can drop down an input console ;) and launch apps from there [10:11] remoteCTR1: I'm sure it's solvable but I don't know much about mat lab - it's not free software, so.

[10:14] remoteCTR1: you could create a launcher or a symlink to the desired app on desktop [10:14] it's a program that allows multiple instances of terminal in one program [10:14] ActionParsnip: ah that ttilda thing is what drops down fron the upper edge when you hit a certain key, right?

[11:28] ThRixXx: are you able to play mp3s with other players? ie. is it only a sonata problem? [11:28] yip [11:28] brad1: well, that could give a clue as to why it's not mounting rw. Barring that at this stage I would say your best option is to probably copy the data off the partition (back it up somwhere), re-init the partition and copy the data back. I would suggest you try to get the error message from when you mount the partition first to see if it might be helpful. [11:28] is it possible to save a file from a repo instead of downlaod + instal it? [11:29] there isn't a way to add mp3's to the playlist [11:29] Petester: yes [11:29] and how should i do it?

[11:30] i see, thanks [11:30] Petester: --download-only, i think. [11:30] brad1: its how you can grant users writability. is it an NTFS partition you are mountinig? [11:30] thanks ActionParsnip [11:30] yes it is ntfs [11:30] LoveGuru: do you use yakuake / tilda? [11:30] Howdy. [11:30] brad1: and you are adding a line to fstab?

[11:31] actionparsnip: no i dont [11:31] Petester: but yeah, look at the man page to see where it gets downloaded to. [11:31] Installed Wubi (linux inside windows installer), i can boot, but i get a problem with apic, and cannot access /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.list using a live disk to change the setting so it will boot properly, is there a way to do this from within windows? [11:31] "man page" is..? [11:31] Petester: 'man apt-get' [11:31] brad1: ok what is the name of the partition? /dev/? [11:31] oh okay. [11:31] Petester: man apt-get [11:31] Petester: synaptic might also do it. i don't know [11:31] actionparsnip: /dev/sda1 [11:32] ActionParsnip: what do i have to do now? it shows this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/68333/ [11:32] i get this while reloading the packages: W: GPG error: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net intrepid-cafuego Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 81600957AF425CB5 [11:32] brad1: ok and where is it to be mounted?

[11:32] ActionParsnip: ahh, ok ok, see you now [11:32] brad1: you mount the partition to an empty folder [11:33] brad1: will /media/stuff do you? [11:33] Please help me as I am running into problems with ubuntu upgradation from 8.04 to 8.10. please have a look at this: http://pastebin.com/m2de37190 [11:33] actionparsnip: i may have misunderstood your question... /dev/sda1 is where i find it when i mount it [11:33] actionparsnip: when i mount on this livecd it is under /media/disk [11:33] brad1: oic, there will probably be a folder in /media named sda1, am i right? [11:34] brad: clear; cd /media; ls [11:34] brad1: do you see sda1 as a folder name? [11:34] ActionParsnip: it's his root partition [11:34] ActionParsnip: and it's ext3 according to his fstab [11:35] pajamian: he said it was ntfs (?) [11:35] ActionParsnip: this is his fstab that he pasted earlier: http://pastebin.com/d74c15449 [11:35] pajamian: brad1: yes it is ntfs [11:36] actionparsnip: argh im sorry it is ext3 ... im used to using ntfs [11:36] actionparsnip: sorry, im sick and its getting late here === _drtroll is now known as drtroll [11:36] brad1: ntfs is pretty garbage compared to ntfs. permissions are not adequate imho [11:36] ActionParsnip: all looks the same [11:37] carlinhos: try setting your graphical resolution now [11:37] actionparsnip: "ntfs is pretty garbage compared to ntfs" .... huh? [11:37] In my updates under Distribution updates it lists "ubuntu-desktop", but I cannot check it and include it in the updates I install. Why is that? [11:38] ActionParsnip: i tryed it, but continue with maximun of 1360x768, it doesnt offer more.

[11:39] brad1: even as root? [11:39] actionparsnip: ok ... how can i fix this from a livecd? [11:39] brad1: I think ActionParsnip meant to say that ntfs is garbage compared to ext3 [11:39] ActionParsnip: where do i set it in xorg? with "1024x768"? [11:39] actionparsnip: umm well i was able to edit fstab as root [11:40] pajamian: yer i guessed .. thnx :P [11:40] In my updates under Distribution updates it lists "ubuntu-desktop", but I cannot check it and include it in the updates I install. Why is that? [11:40] brad1: ...to which I agree, the only reason to use ntfs is if you need it for some *other* operating system. [11:41] brad1: yikes [11:41] brad1: here's my fstab [11:41] brad1: http://pastebin.com/f4643ae25 [11:41] pajamian: oh dont worry .. i gave up on that other operating system.... using the term OS loosely [11:42] actionparsnip: i can write to the disk as root [11:42] brad1: compare my fstab to yours [11:44] ActionParsnip: what happened is brad1 ran fsck on his partition, blindly answered yes to all the prompts and now it mounts read only at boot time causing loads of errors when it trys to write to critical files.

[11:50] i have some network/router questions for anyone who is inclined :) [11:50] i'm on a router with 2 other computers [11:50] what are some commands or GUI programs to help show me their ip's [11:50] and other options such as networking [11:51] mrmikejg: ping [11:51] prince_jammys: well i get the same read-only file system error messages as every other time [11:51] ActionParsnip: this is my xorg now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/68336/ [11:51] mrmikejg: nslookup [11:51] ActionParsnip, ? [11:51] hello people. ubuntu 8.10 installer does not recognize the current partition table (bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/278159). anyone knows a workaround? [11:51] mrmikejg: the name of the computer you want the ip of [11:52] brad1: what's the current line in your fstab? mine is this: UUID=94blahblahblah / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [11:52] ActionParsnip, is there a way of obtaining that info just from them being connected? [11:52] ActionParsnip: how can i open fstab? [11:52] mrmikejg: you could look in your routers dhcp table [11:52] # /dev/sda1 [11:52] mrmikejg: you can usually get the IPs by logging into the router via your browser. [11:52] UUID=0bbccece-1e88-4b61-b20f-2e9cab4af7d5 / ext3 defaults, 0 1 [11:52] woot! thanks prince_jammys and Action Parsnip, i got it set up =) [11:52] carlinhos: you dont need to i mixed names [11:53] Petester: cool [11:53] carlinhos: have a web browse round for your graphics card make and model, there will be sample xorg.conf file all over the place [11:53] it was so much easier to my laptop's ar242x [11:53] lol [11:53] Petester: np man [11:53] ActionParsnip, so i need to someone access my router info? hmm...lol [11:53] brad1: try what i posted, with your UUID, obviously. watch the spaces. (you have a trailing comma, btw) [11:54] mrmikejg: yeah, web browse to its ip and login, there will be a list there [11:54] ActionParsnip: oks, i'll try to find it. no more ideas? [11:54] brad1: it may be that you are mounting read-only because there are errors. === Shreedhar is now known as dd === dd is now known as Chooth [11:55] prine_jammys : umm yer thats the reason .. im trying to find out how to fix it :P === Chooth is now known as Fcuk [11:55] Could the crontab authentication failures be due to the fact that I've disabled the root account? [11:55] carlinhos: you need more lines in there but the fact its not crashing with the Driver "intel" line is a good indicator [11:55] ActionParsnip, do you know where i could obtain info on how to log into the router [11:55] brad1: look at dmesg [11:56] mrmikejg: ifconfig, its your default gateway ip [11:56] brad1: mm, maybe that's not right. you need to look at the logs to get a hint [11:56] prince_jammys: what am i looking for? [11:56] prince_jammys: problem with that is that it can't write to dmesg because it can't mount the drive rw. [11:56] Hi [11:56] ActionParsnip: is this what i need? http://intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html [11:56] pajamian: ah, right. [11:57] Hi [11:57] Hi [11:57] carlinhos: looks useful, read it carefully [11:57] Hi [11:57] carlinhos: you may want to backup what you currently have [11:58] carlinhos: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old [11:58] prince_jammys: would u like to see the thousand odd lines when i use dmesg? [11:59] ikonia: that ikonia? [11:59] prince_jammys: here it is anyway: http://pastebin.com/dc51ad71 [11:59] edno: pardon ? [11:59] i remember your nick ikonia, maybe on LFS server.... could be? [11:59] how can i remove anything suggested by a package that isnt required anywhere else? [12:00] *recommened [12:00] edno correct. [12:00] such a little world [12:00] scientes: sudo apt-get remove ; sudo apt-get autoremove [12:00] didnt work [12:01] brad1: well, pajamian makes an important point. [12:01] i installed ubuntu-mobile and it half trashed my system when i wasnt even logged into it [12:01] its settings are not autonomous [12:01] do you guys think 1g of ram enough for an ubuntu PC that will be used to run a mysql , postgresql ,apache http and tomcat for devlopment purposes? [12:01] ActionParsnip, any idea how i can find my username/pass [12:01] ActionParsnip, lol, i've been googling it [12:02] shiki9, without a gui that a huge amount of ram [12:02] mrmikejg: if you didnt change it then it'll be the default in the manual [12:02] prince_jammys : what is that/ [12:02] ? [12:02] sudo apt-get install locales localeconf .. says "localeconf package not available"? [12:02] ActionParsnip, got it! [12:02] brad1: that if you can't write to the partition, then there'll be no log [12:02] scientes: with gui (gnome with compiz running) [12:02] brad1: that there won't be anything useful logged in dmesg because it can't mount the partition rw in order to log it. [12:02] so how can I get it? [12:02] zabeehkhan: try tab completing the package names after a few charaters in [12:02] Couldn't find package localeconf [12:02] zabeehkhan: You must define the exact package name you are looking for. use apt-cache search for finding the right package [12:02] that is the message given [12:03] zabeehkhan: 'apt-cache search ' [12:03] shiki9, with my 1g machine compiz was too much when coupled with memory hoging firefox, in fact youll be fine if you jsut dont use filefox [12:03] ok ummm well if i can write to the file system using a launcher command ... cant i use dmesg in the same sort of way? [12:03] <|neon|> after i change my desktop theme settings everything works ok, however the settings are lost everytime i reboot, how can i make the settings stay after rebooting (GNOME) [12:03] brad1: are you able to mount it from a live cd? [12:03] zabeehkhan: if you press tab a few times after typing sudo apt-get install local and see what pops on the screen [12:03] shiki9, yesterday my firefox got to 1.5g [12:04] is there a way to automatically make/compile things on a kernel update? [12:04] ok [12:04] shiki9, and right now its at 1.2 [12:04] wow [12:04] brad1: sure, but the error message can't be written to dmesg because the drive is mounted read only at that time. [12:04] brad1: if you try to mount it as writeable from the live cd, you may then get hints as to what the error is. [12:04] prince_jammys : im talking to u from a live cd ... thats the only one i can access my comp ... and yes it mounts and i can read/write [12:04] firefox is a memory hog [12:04] shiki9, thats why i cant wait till chromium is compiled for linux [12:04] shiki9: could use opera, i think its groovy [12:04] it prints "localechooser-data locales " [12:05] pajamian: do you have any idea why that is? no errors when mounting rw from a live cd [12:05] ok [12:05] pajamian/prince_jammys: i CAN read/write to the disk using this live cd [12:05] shiki9: Pretty weird... My 3.0.3 is at 5 opened tabs around at 86 MB [12:05] so i guess i'll be fine with my 1GB of ram [12:05] is somebody haveing a dual-boot-system with a truecrypt-encryption for windows? [12:05] shiki9: thats all i have too [12:06] ok [12:06] prince_jammys: well, I think because it doesn't use the errors=remount-ro flag when you mount it from the live CD, so it will mount rw with errors (I think). But it could also be doing that if the UUID in fstab is wrong. [12:06] the apt-get remove apt-get autoremove didnt work how do i troubleshoot??? [12:06] !cookie | pajamian [12:06] pajamian: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [12:06] any suggestions how i should install flash plugin for firefox? [12:06] pajamian : following advice from the net .. i compared the uuid in fstab with somewhere else ( i cant remember) ... and it was the same [12:06] ActionParsnip, hmm i can't nslookup either the ip or the [12:06] cause the synaptic things slows my firefox so much that nothings working [12:07] I just upgraded to 8.10, and I've lost the use of my nVidia driver. I can't seem to regain it. Is there anything specific I should try? [12:07] i'll mail u all a cookie if u would like :P [12:08] mrmikejg: i thought you wanted the ip from the name? [12:08] brad1: ActionParsnip: prince_jammys: I think that if the actual problem can't be found then backup, reformat, and restore should fix it. [12:08] pajamian: AWWWWWWWW [12:08] pajamian: sounds agreeable [12:08] :'( [12:08] is ubuntu hardy heron going to have the package update that ubuntu intrepid had? i want pidgin 2.5 and other stuff but i dont wanna do dist-upgrade thing [12:08] ActionParsnip, i got both ip and name, not i just want to play around with some commands [12:08] vlitzer: for avoiding big updates, use getdeb.net [12:08] vlitzer: You can have plenty of latest stuff from that site too [12:09] mrmikejg: nslookup and ping conert names to ips and ips to names [12:09] !backports | vlitzer [12:09] ActionParsnip:what gfx card ae you runing compiz on ? [12:09] vlitzer: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [12:09] pajamian: if the UUID were wrong, wouldn't it just not mount at all? [12:09] shiki9: onboard gefore 6150 [12:09] brad1: well that or just do a reinstall. No doubt I am missing something though. [12:09] ok [12:09] pajamian: u said something before about the livecd mounting the disk with errors ... can i get it to do that at boot ? [12:09] ActionParsnip, i didn't really understand that :( [12:09] prince_jammys: good point. [12:09] Who was that Shreedhar, fcuk ? [12:09] shiki9: plays unreal tournament, urban terror and frets on fire just fine [12:09] brad1: remove the errors=remount-ro flag from fstab should allow it. === nintendork87 is now known as Guest46660 [12:09] sweet [12:09] brad1: ...I think [12:09] pajamian: he already has [12:10] pajamian: i did that ... didnt make a difference [12:10] prince_jammys: yeah, I know :-( [12:10] Did he PM any of you too, with wanting to be friends with you ? ...... weirdo.... [12:10] brad1: you could check the UUIDs in fstab are correct [12:10] prince_jammys: maybe defaults includes it as well and it needs to be explicitly changed. [12:10] how to open the pdf files, recommand some software ,thank you! [12:10] pajamian: what is mtab and what relation does it have to fstab? [12:11] actionparsnip: I already did [12:11] ActionParsnip: but just to double check ... how do i go about doing that? [12:11] brad1: there is a flag 'errors=continue' [12:11] brad1: sudo blkid [12:11] brad1: no idea mate [12:11] is somebody haveing a dual-boot-system with a truecrypt-encryption for windows? [12:12] brad1: I think mtab is a list of currently mounted drives. [12:12] prince_jammys: u want me to add that to fstab? [12:12] brad1: can we have the output of the mount command please [12:12] brad1: no. that shows you the uuids [12:12] brad1: you would replace errors=remount-ro with that flag, but use it at your own risk, it can be dangerous. [12:12] brad1: oh, the errors=continue. yes, you could try [12:13] prince_jammys: no sorry the thing u said before that ... about the flag error=continue [12:13] brad1: run mount on its own and pastebin us the output [12:13] oh ok [12:13] brad1: at your own risk [12:13] prince_jammys: good thing im a daredevil muhahaha [12:14] brad1: also, before giving up, make sure to look in the forums for someone with your problem [12:15] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d68c2b664 [12:15] prince_jammys: i trawled forums before i came here :P [12:16] brad1: the only things i know to try are the UUID and the different error flag [12:16] prince_jammys: either their solutions were very vague or i misunderstood [12:16] brad1: they had solutions? [12:16] ok, goodnight everyone [12:16] prince_jammys: more like "im not sure but it could be to do with" [12:18] brad1: heres mine: http://pastebin.com/f7cf3818e [12:19] God this cron issue is really bad.

[12:19] ActionParsni: where do i find my monitors driver, samsung syncmaster 591s [12:19] ActionParsnip: what i've noticed with most of you is that in ur pastebins is the word "relatime" which my fstab and mount results are lacking [12:19] ActionParsnip: i hope u can follow what im saying coz im startin to get really tired :P [12:19] ikonia: are you still in LFS development? [12:20] brad1: have a rest but make a few notes [12:20] edno yes, if you want to chat about that pop into #ubunut-offtopic so we don't distrub the channel [12:20] edno: #ubuntu-offtopic sorry [12:20] ActionParsnip: if i do mount the disk with errors ... if anything goes wrong ... is there a chance i will lose everything? [12:21] brad1: i don't have relatime either. plus, you said you already tried it === yenni_ayyubazzzz is now known as ce [12:21] prince_jammys: umm no i didnt say i had ... i said i had tried removing the bit about errors=ro [12:21] thanks norbert79 , joaopinto , ubottu [12:22] brad1: backup stuff as much as possile [12:22] vlitzer: You are welcome [12:22] If anyone has *ANY* info related to why cron is giving me authentication errors on a standard server install, PLEASE inform me. [12:22] hi ! i have a weird problem ; if i launch codeblocks without sudo it has a smooth interface (i think it's Qt) ; however if i launch codeblocks with sudo the interface is horrible (i think it's wxWidget) ; does anyone have a idea of what the hell is happening right there ? [12:22] ActionParsnip: yer ok ... what can i put in my fstab so that it boots even if there is errors? [12:23] Koordin: tried gksudo? [12:23] Hello. hibernate-disk works at the command-line, but the gnome-power-manager 'hibernate' doesn't work. How can I make the gnome-power-manager use hibernate-disk at the command-line. [12:23] Koordin: tried gksudo? [12:23] brad1: did you run 'sudo blkid' and verified that the UUID is the same as the one in your fstab? [12:24] Anyone who can give me a packet for a Cube, but without beryl/compiz === yenni_ayyubazzzz is now known as ce_14_jomblo [12:25] brad1 ; Slart ; with gksu, the interface is still horrible but different from sudo and not sudo [12:25] K-4U: you mean the "all your desktops on a cube"-switcher? [12:25] 3ddesktop isn't supoorted anymore on Hardy... [12:25] Slart: yes [12:25] brad1: the answer to your other question is: defauls,errors=continue [12:25] K-4U: You need to install the Compiz-Settings packages... Don't know the exact name, but look for compiz in 'apt-cache search compiz' [12:26] K-4U: afaik that's a compiz plugin/feature.... don't know if there are any other implementations of it [12:26] prince_jammys:thanks ... and the uuids are the same [12:26] norbert79: i said without compiz... [12:26] hey, I got a problem with my sound drivers. It seems they crash/freeze my entire system sometimes. The sound gives short sound-loops forever if it hangs, and sometimes you gotta cut the power to make it go away. Just installed Ibex on a fresh system so I thought it shouldn't start with problems like this :( [12:26] K-4U: I doubt, that the spinning cube would work without Compiz. Compiz is a renderer... [12:26] Slart: Hmm.. there once was a package that had that function, called 3ddesktop [12:27] prince_jammys: SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" ... does that mean anything to u ? [12:27] hello [12:27] Pingviller25: run lspci then look at our soundcard make and model, you may nne some tweaks for your sound. try switching to mighty ALSA instead of pulse === McDrunkerson is now known as DRNK-E [12:27] K-4U: that other package, 3ddesktop... wasn't that different from the cube in compiz?.. I mean the concept was the same but it was a separate program [12:28] "find / pidgin" - what am i doing wrong? [12:28] brad1: it's the same here [12:28] trying to find the pidgin folder, to change a custom sound [12:28] lakitu2: find / -iname pidgin might work better [12:28] lakcaj: You can set sounds within Pidgin in Settings [12:28] ActionParsnip: looks like I am using ALSA.. exactly how do I see which one I'm using? [12:28] lakitu2: find / -name pidgin -- though /usr should suffice [12:28] lakitu2: or find / | grep -i pidgin [12:28] Slart : your right. . . they were both desktop effects but different developers [12:29] !sound [12:29] 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). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [12:29] is somebody haveing a dual-boot-system with a truecrypt-encryption for windows? [12:29] lakitu2: better yet: dpkg -L pidgin [12:29] ActionParsnip: 00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2) [12:29] lakitu2: that'll show you all the files and dirs that were installed/ [12:29] thanks guys. [12:29] K-4U,http://desk3d.sourceforge.net/index.php [12:30] Gotta pic for my background wallpaper...Looks fine when I open it with Gimp or view the thumbnail. When I make it my wallpaper, it is upside down. What can I do? [12:30] prince_jammys, yeah, it's about time i learned how to search/find files & directories in ubuntu [12:30] thanks again [12:30] lakitu2: well, the dpkg one is a special case, but well suited for what you want. [12:30] soho: I've done that...why? [12:30] lakitu2: might as well throw in "locate pidgin" too [12:30] prince_jammys: well i will try rebooting now that i have added that bit to fstab... if this doesnt work im going to bed to cry :P thankyou all for ur help... i really appreciate [12:30] it* [12:30] brad1: cool, let us know [12:30] i have a question: i use ubuntu eee and when i plugin my sd card, eee tries to mount is, but this automatic mounting fails because it needs su right. i want it to automount when plugged in [12:30] will do [12:31] Pingviller25: see what you can find. I gotta split a lil [12:31] ActionParsnip: when I double click the volume control I get just the different channels, like master PCM front and so on, nothing like File or anything like it [12:31] Pingviller25: isn't there a "device" drop down selector at the top of the window? [12:32] sherly [12:32] obitori; do you have it done this way that grub is still the default boot-loader and you use chainloading to start windows? [12:32] Slart: yup, it says alsa mixer [12:32] yep...no problems...I didn't auto boot the truecrypt partition with either OS. [12:32] Soho: if that matters... [12:33] Pingviller25: in the version before the current one you had to open a menu to find that one.. [12:33] seems there is a problem with java at intrepid running at 64 bits ... using eclipse or whatever uses java, 2 things happen eventually ... 1) both processors goes running at 100% (i've a dual core turion tl-60) and 2) the process java takes 50% of my ram memory (' [12:33] i've 2 gb, so java use 1 gb ! [12:33] should i report this as a bug ? if yes , where ? [12:34] Slart: k k, but I'm not sure what to do about the problem though.. [12:34] x-ip: check you min and max limit options [12:34] ikonia: where ? which min and max options ? [12:34] Pingviller25: neither am I .. I was just telling you where to find that "File, change device" thingy [12:35] x-ip: jvm's have options to limit use of ram, check what the default is for the version your using and see how to (IF you need to) override it [12:35] Slart: ;) oki, bit annoying to have the sound crashing once every day at average though :( soon jumping back to windows until I know what to do about it ;) [12:36] ikonia: perfect , i didnt know that :) , i'll search for that ... and whats about the both processors running at 100% constantly ? i've to kill the java process to 'return' to normal state ... [12:36] do u know what can i do about this ? [12:37] x-ip you can limit cpu usage on a per core limit, and maybe (not sure) on a percentage limit [12:37] ikonia: per process with nice maybe ? [12:37] x-ip well, thats a different situation === leenuks is now known as Rotel [12:38] hi ppl [12:38] i tryed to share a folder [12:38] by proprietes, shares [12:38] and i got: "net usershare" has restitued the error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error denied permission You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions [12:38] hmm .... i'll search first how to limit memory usage by jvm ... thx ikonia [12:38] hi [12:39] is there a video podcast application for gnome ? [12:39] Can't take out my cd from drive. Against what I need to report bug? [12:39] maxagaz: to watch them, miro [12:40] Daviey: miro is too big... [12:40] does anyone know how i can ping or nslookup on computers connected to my router [12:40] i have their computer names and ip's === aayoola is now known as murpheus [12:40] mrmikejg type nslookup or ping ? [12:40] Anyone used a monitor with pivot in Ubuntu? [12:40] milos_: your CD drive? :P [12:40] but when i try to ping them i get nothing back [12:40] ikonia, nothing seems to happen :( [12:41] mrmikejg either your router has a firewall blocking icmp or your pinging the wrong address [12:41] werdnus, yup [12:41] ikonia, how can i check if there is a firewall? [12:41] mrmikejg login to the router and check the settigns [12:42] Hello, anyone know if the bug in Vino (remote desktop vnc) is fixed 8.10?, The bug that makes other clients unavaible to connect [12:42] tARrAScH check the bug logs === murpheus is now known as aayoola [12:42] tARrAScH launchapad.net [12:42] ikonia: Good idea, where can I find it? [12:42] Thanks! [12:42] werdnus, it ejects CD and than very very fast take it back [12:42] tARrAScH, why not try other remote clients ? [12:43] milos_: it's hungry. [12:43] menance: Vino is the server, and I tried connecting with 2 different clients :) [12:43] werdnus, or fallen in love [12:43] oh, I see [12:44] hi i have aproblem with that my menus is ruined when i run compis [12:44] ikonia, hmm i see a check box to enable incoming ping...and checked it, but still no luck :* [12:45] mrmikejg check your router manual, make sure the other machiens arn't running firewalls also [12:45] mrmikejg: make sure the gateway for your ip range is the router [12:45] http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/4471/nvidiaopera1pk6.png [12:45] ikonia, could you explain that last one? [12:45] how to fix menus like that? [12:45] mrmikejg: make sure the gateway for the network your on for all the computers is the router [12:46] Ok [12:46] ikonia, if it wasn't, they wouldn't be able to access the internet, right? [12:46] crontab *does* require root to be unexpired. I thought ubuntu wasn't supposed to require a password. Is this a bug? [12:47] hey, where has the network configuration panel gone in the new ubuntu? i need to define a hostname i.e. maachine.location.com [12:47] mrmikejg correct, but that is the default gateway, not the cateway [12:47] gammy can you expalin that >? [12:47] explain that [12:47] ikonia: passwd -l root will stop all default cron jobs from running. "CRON: Authentication error" is listed in cron.log if I enable it. [12:48] ikonia: passwd -u root remedies the problem. [12:48] gammy locking the account will do that yes [12:48] ikonia: export JAVA_OPTS='-server -Xmx32m' seems to do the trick memory usage =) [12:48] ikonia: The userguide did not mention that. [12:48] gammy: what user guide [12:48] ikonia, must be the firewall [12:48] ikonia: Please wait. [12:48] gammy: I don't see a guide that tells you to do passwd -l root [12:49] x-ip: well done [12:49] if nobody respond me in half hour where to report bug, LG dvd drive will die. I'm serious [12:49] :) [12:49] !launchpad > milos_ [12:49] milos_, please see my private message [12:49] milos_: you'll find it's a known bug with that drive though [12:49] * x-ip bbl [12:49] good morning! is anyone running ubuntu on a macbook? i can't see my cisco wireless network, although i can see other nets [12:49] what ftp client is most likely flashfxp? cant find any.. [12:50] ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html#where-is-root [12:50] anyone had same menu problem? [12:50] kri: no idea what flashfxp is. Try gftp or use nautilus [12:50] hey, where has the network configuration panel gone in the new ubuntu? i need to define a hostname i.e. maachine.location.com [12:51] flashfxp is for windows....doesnt run good under wine [12:51] jrib: ok. 'nautilus' is the 'filebrowser' in ubuntu right? [12:51] filezilla works good [12:51] gammy: I'd take that to #ubuntu-docs and speak to the doc maintainers, thats not well written [12:51] gammy: or file it as a documentation bug [12:51] i would like a ftp client also more text based like MC (fake norton comander). [12:51] titon: you cant fxp with filezilla. [12:51] ikonia, thx, I am just not good on searching so I thought somebody will know what package is responsible for problem [12:52] milos_ it's not fixed yet, so it doesn't matter, but it would be good if you tried to search [12:52] ok [12:52] I've heard rumors about nautilus having tabs in Intrepid Ibex, is this true ? if so, how can i get nautilus on Hardy Heron to get this feature. [12:52] Stargazer it's gnome 2.24 - so not in 8.04 [12:53] Stargazer: yes, upgrade to intrepid is really the only supported way [12:53] Jrib, know anyways to fix a resolution bug ? [12:53] what should I do in order to be able to run 32 bit apps on my Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit? [12:53] kri: yes. Did you try gnome-commander? Why don't you just use mc if you want something like mc? [12:53] Stargazer it's not a bug [12:54] its a feature!!!! [12:54] Ikonia, it's a bug nonetheless. i can't use intrepid with it happening. [12:54] Stargazer: what bug? link? [12:54] Stargazer what ???? [12:54] Stargazer: you asked if you could use tabbed nautilus on 8.04 [12:55] Stargazer now you say you can't use 8.10 with out "it" happening, what is it ? [12:55] Ikonia: and you said i needed to uprgrade, which i can't cause of a resolution issue. [12:55] Stargazer that will depend on your video card and their driver support [12:55] Ikonia, intel. [12:56] Stargazer most intel cards are support fine, (I assume this is a laptop) [12:56] Stargazer, intel 845 video? [12:56] Stargazer: my intel card works fine so you need to be more specific [12:56] Hmm [12:56] How do i find out what card i have ? [12:56] anyone know why the menues are gone? [12:57] Stargazer, sudo lspci [12:57] titon what menus ? [12:57] Stargazer, sudo lspci | grep VGA [12:57] sry [12:58] http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/4471/nvidiaopera1pk6.png [12:58] it looks like that when i run compiz [12:58] what should I do in order to be able to run 32 bit apps on my Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit? [12:58] NicEXE it's not advised, what are you tyring to run ? [12:58] NicEXE: Nothing really, just start them [12:58] ikonia: http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/4471/nvidiaopera1pk6.png [12:59] Ikonia: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [12:59] ikonia: i am trying to install flash 10 [12:59] I get this error when booting with a new kernel: Mounting /root/dev on /dev/.static/dev failed: No such file or directory [12:59] And/or jrib ^^ [12:59] and a few others, mounting /sys on /root/sys [12:59] NicEXE what's the problem with 9 ? [12:59] ikk-irssi: Oh, thats something different. You will need to have npluginwrapper, as 32 bit flash works only with 32 bit Browsers [12:59] Stargazer: I still don't know what the bug is [12:59] Sorry, was meant for NicEXE [12:59] titon: thats quite odd === Trakers is now known as Trakers_ [12:59] ikonia: I don't have the 9 eather === Trakers_ is now known as Trakers [13:00] NicEXE: For 64 Browser you will need to install nspluginwrapper [13:00] NicEXE: do "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" it will do it for you [13:00] norbert79: that happens automatically when you install flashplugin-nonfree on amd64 [13:00] Jrib, ikonia, when i try and change the res from 1400x** ubuntu logs off and logs into a 1600x1024 res which, then, my monitor goes blank cause it can't handle it. [13:01] jrib: Thx, I never used Ubuntu in 64 bit, I always stayed with 32 bit [13:01] ikonia, I know. i cant seem to get it to work....but when i kill compiz the menu comes back [13:01] Stargazer: did you find a bug report for this? [13:01] titon: you may want to ask the guys in #ubuntu if this is common ? [13:02] ikonia: :) [13:02] ikonia: psst. [13:02] titon: #xubuntu [13:02] ??? [13:02] Jrib, i filed one. and it got denied or something. there were others which are/were similar. [13:02] I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 and now my Windows XP virtual machine in vbox doesn't work. It asks me to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup as root. The recompiling fails. Here is the log file: http://pastebin.com/m7012046b [13:02] Stargazer: link? [13:02] One sec. [13:02] ikonia, i run ubuntu [13:02] titon: your using xfce desktop though arn't you ? [13:02] ikonia, the pic was a link that looks like mu problem but i didnt find a fix [13:03] if im creating a make file, how do you set up make install for linux? :/ i tried /usr/bin for my executable and data in /usr/share ... but it couldnt find it [13:03] titon is that not xfce desktop ? [13:03] where has the configuration file for X gone to? [13:03] I really want to figure this out [13:03] vasilisa: read the autotools doc - this isn't an ubuntu issue [13:04] vasilisa: what is "it" in your sentence? [13:04] jrib: the data associated with my program [13:04] ikonia: this isnt an issue at all, this is my own makefile for my own program [13:04] how do i start x in a window? [13:04] zamba: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config [13:04] vasilisa: so it's nothing to do with ubuntu, you'll be fine with the autotools docs [13:04] scientes: Look for "xnest" [13:04] ikonia, the link is some other persons desktop running xubuntu but the problem looks like mine and i'm running ubuntu [13:05] ikonia: didnt even know about "autotools"... [13:05] titon: ooh, I see [13:05] vasilisa: sounds like just a programming issue really if the data is getting installed [13:05] vasilisa: check it out, [13:05] ikonia: i was just doing makefile by hand... [13:06] how come "gksudo network-admin" doesn't do anything anymore? (Pls refer to https://www.opendns.com/homenetwork/start/device/ubuntu ) [13:06] vasilisa well then you'r going to either need to read up on makefiles, or on autotools [13:06] ikonia: and this program makes makefiles for you? [13:06] vasilisa it "can" [13:06] hi... firefox won't start .. this has happened before [13:06] ikonia: fair enough, thanks [13:06] it looks like it is going to start and then returns the prompt [13:06] lesshaste: launch it from a command line see what it says [13:06] jrib: ok.. hm.. i just want to change the timeout for the screen blanking [13:07] lesshaste: ps -ef | grep firefox, kill all running instances first [13:07] hey, where has Network gone from System > Administration > Network ... I have checked the menu editor and it's not there. anyone know which package it was? [13:07] how do i change my DNS Servers? [13:07] jrib: where and how do you suggest i define that? [13:07] smalleyes: /etc/resolv.conf [13:07] smalleyes: change your /etc/resolv.conf files [13:07] zamba: how did you do it before? Do the gui tools not work (system -> preferences -> power management)? [13:07] zamba ikonia thanks [13:07] jrib: this is a ltsp client, so i have to do it in a configuration file [13:07] Is ubuntu supposed to be able to detect USB headsets? [13:07] jrib: and then rebuild the image [13:08] zamba: ah, does gnome-power-manager not handle it then? [13:08] KableKiB depends if the device is supported [13:08] ikonia, compiz seem to have problem rendering the text for the menus [13:08] titon maybe #compiz-fushion know about it, I've never seen it before [13:08] ikonia it's a logitech usb headset [13:08] not sure [13:08] KableKiB check it out [13:08] how do i open gdm in Xnest? [13:08] Ok, I have installed Gnome-RDP and I am trying to figure out how I can connect to a system that is on a network of 3 computer, I can connect using the computers IP address but not I am trying to connect as if it was a out side system, any help would be great [13:09] scientes: gdmflexiserver -nl [13:10] anyone have a working webcam in ibex ? [13:10] yes [13:10] Pelo: you know how to ask better questions :) [13:10] werdnus, can you check that gspca is loaded in modprobe for me ? [13:10] jrib, i'm building up [13:10] yes Pelo: i use "Cheese" [13:10] (webcam app) [13:10] ikonia, it finally detected it but when i set it as a device in sound settings i cant test it i get an error.. restarting now to see if anything changes [13:10] Pelo: don't build up :) [13:10] werdnus, explain ? [13:11] damn that crashed the compiz window decorator [13:11] Pelo just ask the question [13:11] ikonia, please don't [13:11] Jrib; sorry for the delay, internet is being mean: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/xorg-server/+bug/290156 [13:11] Pelo just ask the question [13:11] Pelo: ask the full question, not parts of it. Talk about the problem, not the step. Remember that if you were that great at troubleshooting, you wouldn't need help. [13:11] !smartquestions [13:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about smartquestions [13:11] Jrib, message me or something i running a bit late, sorry. [13:12] ok , there is no /dev/video0, lsmod | grep gspca returns nothing , modprobe gspca tells me file not found and I can'T build the source [13:12] * Pelo can'T beleive he's getting advice on getting support [13:12] Error: Could not open audio device for playback. <-- Using Logitech USB headset [13:12] Pelo: what's that module for [13:12] ikonia, module ? [13:12] I have been usuing Ubuntu for two years and good amount of that time has been finding solutions to basic, brain-dead problems that should have been anticipated and solved had the programmers of all the components any maturity or foresight. [13:13] There are no problems as brain-dead as there are in the open source world. Those problems are already anticipated and accounted for. Here no one cares, so everyone fishes for themselves. This results in people touting ideals to defend the collective waste of time in finding solutions to problems. [13:13] Pelo: the module your trying to modprobe [13:13] Don't wish to troll. But am totally sick of it. [13:13] http://workaround.org/moin/GettingHelpOnIrc [13:13] qstnn: do you have a question? [13:13] qstnn: too late - you trolled, please don't start with this sort of nonsense [13:13] lol [13:13] qstnn: maybe you should pay for your software :) [13:13] its free so st*u [13:13] ^^ [13:14] KableKiB that attitude is not welcome [13:14] ikonia, do you get the part where " I can't modprobe gspca" ? that's what I need to do , I need to load it [13:14] qstnn: the same can be said for any large commercial project. [13:14] was meant as half joke sry [13:14] Pelo yes, I'm asking what that module is for [13:14] ikonia, webcam [13:14] Error: Could not open audio device for playback. <-- Using Logitech USB headset [13:15] does anybody can tell program with wich i can cut parts of songs ? [13:15] Pelo is it an open source module or 3rd party (I've never heard of it hence asking) [13:15] KableKiB, try this , goto menu > system> admin , or maybe pref , find the sound thingy, put everything on auto [13:15] Stargazer: there are a few workarounds listed there, did you try them? [13:15] Pelo, yeah it's pref.. you mean autodetect? [13:15] ikonia, it's suppose to be in the kernel now , but it was 3rd party a while back , [13:15] KableKiB, yes [13:15] ok brb [13:15] Pelo what version of the kernel are you using ? [13:16] I wish to pay. But I was never told what I would be getting before being told brought in. It was all rosy. Why don't people expose all the problems, and time requirements of 'free' software. I think these are the most expensive software. If a end user has to sit and fish around for arcane solutions to even simple problems. [13:16] qstnn: stop now please [13:16] Pelo: Its not just gspca for the module name take a look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/68353/ [13:16] any suggestion of soundfile editors?

[13:18] k ill check that Pelo thanks [13:18] what happens to ubuntu 8.10 on the year 2010 [13:18] Pici, still there, I have all those in the module folder but they won'T load in modprobe, you think I need to load them manualy ? === hari is now known as Guest53905 [13:18] Pelo: As I said, ask about the goal, not the step. [13:18] Pelo can you force the right one with an insmod [13:18] ikonia: I understand this is a support channel. Want to discuss in private? [13:19] qstnn not reall,y it's not a discussion, just you ranting [13:19] hey can some one help me to recover password problem...i have forgotten it....

[13:19] hudsonh it's not out yet - it's a long way away - it really doesn't matter [13:20] !sound | KableKiB you might want to go through this proceedure then [13:20] KableKiB you might want to go through this proceedure then: 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). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [13:20] ikonia: It can be a discussion, if you had the willingness to consider things in an open manner. [13:20] who have used Xynth? [13:20] qstnn I don't want to discuss it [13:20] Pelo, k thanks, I'll let you know. :) [13:20] ikonia: That is better. Discussion is to scary. [13:21] ikonia, doesn'T tell me which module I need , I was under the impression that modprobe gspca would load everthing [13:21] qstnn I'm just not interested in what you've got to say [13:21] what will it be a LTS Version or not [13:21] Pelo ahh, ok, so thats the fail, [13:21] who have used Xynth? [13:21] join &2 [13:21] Pelo: I missunderstood, I thought you where modprobing it and it was refusing to load them, rather than not deal with finding the right one [13:22] !jaunty | hudsonh [13:22] hudsonh: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - UDS December 8th-12th in Mountain View, CA, USA [13:23] hudsonh: it's not slated to be LTS, no [13:23] so in 2 years i will have to down grade from 8.10 to 8.04.1 [13:23] ikonia, I can load them one by one but I was under the impresson that modprobe gspca would load them all [13:24] and why aren'T they loaded in the first place [13:24] Pelo yes, I see what your saying now [13:24] Pelo: what cam is it ? [13:24] Pelo: did you try running gspca build ? its supposed to do all that for you [13:24] ikonia, mS vx-3000 [13:25] legend2440, gspca_build crashes , can'T find gspca.ko , tries several time , with the repo source, the sorce from the website, etc, [13:25] Anyone know of a good front end for lirc to configure buttons to commands?

I followed instructions found at http://mpov.timmorgan.org/2007/12/13/backup-your-gmail-account-messages-with-ubuntu-and-fetchmail/ but when I enter fetchmail -k I get this error: http://pastebin.com/m1a13d0cd [13:27] platius , that is not the issue, the module won'T LOAD [13:27] hi since upgrading to 8.10 i have a number of problems one of witch is my sound [13:27] i have none [13:27] any one able to help [13:27] Im a high school student that recently downloaded ubuntu 8.10 to try out the wireless network. When I tried to connect, it asked me for the network name, How exactly do I get this? [13:27] When my laptop goes into standby mode it appears that all the devices are not being put to sleep. For 1 i can still hear the HDD spinning. Standby time should be at least 5 hours but i am getting a little more than an hour out of it. Can someone help me figure out why not all devices are sleeping? [13:28] tung [13:28] zdr [13:28] I'll be back later [13:28] How can Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu send CDs free of cost? Where the money comes from to send CDs free of cost? [13:29] ThinkMinus, from support incomings [13:29] companies for example get ubuntu free [13:29] but pay for support [13:29] that's the biggest winning [13:29] bulbulred2 : Well.....that's good [13:30] and they gain by giving free cd's because the more people learn about this OS, the more will used, the popular it gets, .... [13:30] Mark Shuttleworth put in money into Ubuntu...so supported that in the first place, but aim to have this covered by support incomes (probably is by now although they're not yet making a profit yet according to Shuttleworth in recent news) [13:30] But, how much can they earn this way? I mean they must pay their developers too......(?) [13:31] Open Source.... I doubt the Developers make to much [13:31] Are there some sort of developers for ubuntu who are being paid for ubuntu (and similar projects) development? [13:32] ubuntu is funded by a very rich man but a sa company they make money from supporting there product [13:32] When my laptop goes into standby mode it appears that all the devices are not being put to sleep. For 1 i can still hear the HDD spinning. Standby time should be at least 5 hours but i am getting a little more than an hour out of it. Can someone help me figure out why not all devices are sleeping? [13:32] I would like to find out if there is something extra I need to do to see network share, I can see all the computers on the network but the shares are not loaded ? (8.10) [13:32] businesses pay a lot for support [13:32] sudobash : Ahh.....but to satisfy their bellies they must get money from somewhere....... [13:32] !ot [13:32] psicobra : ok [13:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:33] chadeldridge : ok [13:33] A lot of Open Source Developers are not getting paid for their source! [13:33] they may receive donations and such [13:33] what version of squashfs is the newer 8.10 livecd? btw, how to check the version for my older 7.10 ? [13:33] when will #ubuntu+1 open ? [13:33] any one able to help with my sound problem? [13:33] a lot of them are hobyist [13:34] It seems that edubuntu is not shipping free CDs for 8.10.......looks like they would be back soon [13:34] who develop Open Source as a hobby [13:34] hi [13:34] nick_: are you talking about samba shares (windows machines) [13:34] after i installed webmin in ubuntu [13:34] alin: Hi to you [13:34] why i cant give other user to login with my IP? [13:35] whats the IP should i give them [13:35] is there any substitute for adobe after effects for ubuntu 8.10? [13:35] Anyone know of a good front end for lirc to configure buttons to commands? (besides irkick) [13:35] are you for real alin? [13:35] Thanks everyone :) and bye [13:35] yes chadeldridge [13:35] yes [13:36] nick_: i assume you ahve the smbfs package installed ? [13:36] this one probably: 60.52.62.122 [13:36] that is you alin [13:36] alin: there is a difference between iternal addresses and external addresses [13:36] but it wont show up [13:36] is there some issue with ati cards whit ubuntu 8.10 and the latest restricted(ubuntu) drivers? the system is slower than when using hardy and I have horizontal lines with dvd playback [13:36] Hi, Theres is any way to create images from a Hard Drive and setup a kind of RIS server to deploy images ? (using ubuntu) [13:36] chadeldridge, just standard 8.10 installation at this point [13:36] so how i find my external IP? [13:36] alin do you have a router of firewall? [13:36] nick_: sudo apt-get install smbfs [13:36] you could try http://www.whatismyip.org [13:36] alin your external is 60.52.62.122 [13:36] sites like that [13:37] and why it wont show up the webmin [13:37] alin are you listening? [13:37] i asked if you have a firewall or router [13:37] hurmm [13:37] sorry [13:37] .com [13:37] i use LAN [13:37] but no firewall [13:37] nevermind i cant help you sorry [13:37] what should i do, if ubuntu boots up with red green red and white horizantal stripes only after fresh install [13:37] alin: the ports would have to be passes through the router to get to your machine from the outside world [13:38] oh [13:38] how should i do that? [13:38] alin: are you behind a router or is this someone just on your local lan [13:38] read how to do it on google... port forwarding [13:38] When my laptop goes into standby mode it appears that all the devices are not being put to sleep. For 1 i can still hear the HDD spinning. Standby time should be at least 5 hours but i am getting a little more than an hour out of it. Can someone help me figure out why not all devices are sleeping? [13:38] chadeldridge, ok its installed, do I need to reboot ? (tested with same result) [13:38] i m in my router [13:38] alin you have zero ports open [13:39] !portforward | alin [13:39] alin: For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall [13:39] huh [13:39] oh thx [13:39] i'll try it [13:39] nick_: you should not need to reboot. do you know a windows share off hand you can open up nautilus and type smb://server/share and see if you get prompted for auth [13:39] Xynth [13:40] chadeldridge, yup one sec let me test === kooNewton_ is now known as iBus-ceo [13:40] ballongen: it's usplash (the graphical boot screen) that doesn't seem to like your video card. Quick and dirty fix: disable it altogether :p [13:40] nick_: also what type of windows shares are these ... servers or xp workstations ? [13:40] HymnToLife: ah [13:40] is there a difference in Server Shares and Workstation Shares [13:40] what if i use local LAN? [13:41] sudobash: domain or workstation was what i was getting at [13:41] HymnToLife: like uninstall the gdm or? [13:41] HymnToLife sorry. should i uninstall the gdm? [13:41] i understood you i wasnt aware there was that much a difference [13:41] chadeldridge, if I use connect to server with info it asks username and logs in fine, its XP, Vista and 2003 shares, I just cant seem to browse to shares [13:41] but i stopped using windows a while ago [13:41] ballongen: hmmm, hold on, when exactly do you see those stripes? === iBus-ceo is now known as iNutshe11 [13:42] HymnToLife: when the booter almost are finished, and i should be presented with the login. also the sound activates just before the "stripes" [13:42] horizontal [13:42] nick_: i have had this issue before because the network shares had no idea of who i was because there was not authorization made to them yet. You may want to bounce your machine and come back then double click on a server from the list and see if you get prompted to auth [13:42] oh [13:43] i have to go into the tape vault for a min .. ill brb to help you more if you need it [13:43] then it's most likely a Xorg problem, which is much nastier because that's what all your graphical stuff is built on top of === r3z`` is now known as r3z [13:43] will do, thanks for the help chadeldridge at least now I can connect [13:43] what kind of graphics card do you have? [13:43] HymnToLife: oh [13:43] it works fine in 8.04 === iNutshe11 is now known as xinenOO7 [13:44] yeah [13:44] HymnToLife: i think i have a ati hd2400 xtx [13:44] Xorg is something the Ubuntu devs like to mess around with very much [13:44] HymnToLife: dammit [13:44] so yeah, if you're not lucky... [13:45] I guess you could just stick with 8.04, or do you really need to upgrade? [13:45] perhaps installing the 8.04 and upgrading could work [13:45] ballongen can you pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:45] sudobash: thinking.... hmm. [13:45] Im a high school student that recently downloaded ubuntu 8.10 to try out the wireless network(I could not get it to work on 8.04). When I tried to connect, it asked me for the network name, how do I get this? [13:45] perhaps i can ssh to the machine and get it, yeah. [13:46] nano works wonders [13:46] I seem to have problems with running mozilla and audacious at the same time. [13:46] It works if I start audacios first, but then I don't have any audio in mozilla.. [13:46] youngblood: if the network is broadcasting its ESSID, sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [13:46] or just cat it if you are in SSH [13:46] replace with your wireless interface's name if needed [13:48] ballongen: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/usplash/+bug/249037 [13:48] HymnToLife, ok, ill go give it a try, thanks === kooNewton is now known as xinen0O7 [13:50] HymnToLife: ok, here is my xorg.conf [13:50] http://pastebin.com/d70f5754 [13:50] ballongen: can you boot to recovery mode and sudo apt-get remove usplash ? [13:50] lol [13:51] legend: well, i see stripes, and i cannot login, so the bug isnt exactly the same [13:51] Ubuntu's xorg.conf's used to be one hell of a mess === xinen0O7 is now known as kooNewton [13:51] legend2440: i removed the gdm, now i have console [13:51] but now they're pretty much empty [13:51] I guess it lets Xorg try to guess stuff [13:51] HymnToLife: yeah. [13:51] which is a bad idea [13:51] legend2440: when i login, and uses startx, i recieve the stripes as well [13:52] login to the consol that is. [13:52] and the whole system hangs. [13:53] You could try to generate a more useful one [13:53] Hey, I need some help. After installing 15 updates this morning for 8.10, the title bar for mozilla firefox has disappeared. Everything else is working fine. What can i do to get my title bar back on firefox?? [13:53] X -configure as root, should give you a working one [13:53] HymnToLife: ok., trying that [13:54] ballongen: mind, "as root", not with sudo [13:54] soso do sudo -i before === kn1ttl is now known as knittl [13:54] yes [13:54] ThePandemic82: is it gone for all apps .. or just firefox ? [13:54] just firefox [13:55] if it gets you back to the prompt, it should be good [13:55] if it hangs... bad luck [13:55] what can i do? [13:55] i wanted to make a few shortcuts that would appear on every users desktop. I tried using /etc/skel but it looks like Ubuntu gets teh desktop from some other place [13:55] How can i do this? [13:55] ThePandemic82: are you using compiz ? [13:55] yes [13:55] HymnToLife: Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. configuration failed [13:55] ThePandemic82: try to compiz --replace [13:56] never had any problems like this,,until i updated today [13:56] ballongen: /etc/skel should work for any new user you create. Is that what you want? [13:56] 'compiz --replace' thats a command? [13:56] ballongen: do you have multiple monitors or stuff like that? [13:56] what will that cmd do? [13:56] hi, is a desktop search by default active? [13:56] force compiz to overlay the desktop again [13:56] jrib: i don´t know what you mean. [13:56] oh ok [13:57] thanks [13:57] hopefully that works [13:57] how do I go into file manger as sudo [13:57] HymnToLife: yes, but only one is connected [13:57] Hi. I just installed 8.10 Server, and the machine will not shutdown. sudo shutdown now fails, bringing me to a "recover" screen. None of the options there seem to do any goos, and when I drop to the root user(from that screen) and run shutdown now, the crond and system log daemon have [FAIL] next to them, rather than OK as processes get ended. How can I shutdown the machine! [13:57] Spirits-Sight: why? [13:57] ballongen: jrib was speaking to benedikt_ ;) [13:57] anyway [13:57] HymnToLife in the new xorg.conf.new that was generated, there are 35 monitors specified there.... [13:57] I am trying to replace a file in var/www and it won't let me [13:57] Sweet! it fixed it! thanks chadeldridge [13:57] bah, sorry ballongen [13:57] :-) [13:57] benedikt_: /etc/skel should work for any new user you create. Is that what you want? [13:57] jrib: haha. got me confused there. [13:57] :-D === darius12 is now known as darius12_lunch [13:57] jrib: i trtied to place the shortcuts in /etc/skel/Desktop but it didnt work [13:57] ballongen: pastebin it [13:57] ballongen: I was confused too :) [13:58] HymnToLife omn [13:58] ballongen: i was really confuesd. [13:58] Does anyone have experience with using the new .fdi and xinput to configure mice? [13:58] benedikt_: "didn't work"? Does that mean you created a new user and it did not have the shortcut you created in /etc/skel/Desktop on his Desktop? [13:58] dazvid: just ask your question [13:58] jrib: because I am trying to replace a file in var/www and it won't let me [13:58] jrib: im not using PAM authentication [13:58] cdeszaq: try sudo shutdown 0 [13:58] Righto then. I want to disable the 3 button emulation on my mouse [13:59] When my laptop goes into standby mode it appears that all the devices are not being put to sleep. For 1 i can still hear the HDD spinning. Standby time should be at least 5 hours but i am getting a little more than an hour out of it. Can someone help me figure out why not all devices are sleeping? [13:59] Spirits-Sight: gksudo nautilus but you should setup a group that can edit /var/www and add your user to it [13:59] !permissions > Spirits-Sight [13:59] Spirits-Sight, please see my private message [13:59] Hi [13:59] There was a thread on the forums that suggested making a new .fdi policy. However this did not change the behaviour of the mouse. [13:59] Is dynamic IP = static IP? [13:59] no [13:59] alin: no [13:59] dynamic is changing static stays the same [13:59] dynamic changes, static stays the same. as the names suggest [14:00] jrib: im using kerberos authentication (with the help of likewise-open). [14:00] og ic [14:00] dazvid: I still don't see how you expect anyone to be able to help you with the information you've given [14:00] jrib: thank you for the help [14:00] lol [14:00] cool [14:00] hello [14:00] chadeldridge: Same behavior [14:00] benedikt_: not familiar with that. Does that mean you don't create a new user by doing 'adduser foo'? [14:00] jrib, Well I'm not sure what I should be saying. xorg doesn't modify the settings anymore, so I'm completely lost [14:00] qhit [14:00] yes. the comptuer authenticates with a windows active directory server. [14:01] quit [14:01] dazvid: what setting are you trying to change exactly? [14:01] im running a web server... is there a firewall in ubuntu that has port 80 closed? [14:01] jrib, 3 button emulation = false [14:01] so alin did you ever figure out your port forwarding [14:01] how do i port forward if i m using LAN? [14:01] dazvid: see bug 272334 [14:01] vinnie not unless you install one i dont believe [14:01] yea i did but i m using LAN [14:01] hmm??

[14:02] yeah [14:02] i can get in it [14:02] but when i ask someone else [14:02] cool alin... [14:02] they cant [14:02] oh [14:02] ;( [14:02] !enter [14:02] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:02] yeah you need to port forward (from external to internal) [14:03] http://192.168.1.4:8080/ [14:03] benedikt_: right, so you really just want to know how, with that setup, a user's home directory is created (which I don't know) [14:03] !enter | alin [14:03] alin: please see above [14:03] oke [14:03] alin: that's a local ip.

[14:54] benedikt: oh wait, yeah what LjL said [14:54] LjL: i want users to be able to mount a smb share, im going to automate this with a script. [14:55] ikonia: busy?

[14:58] gammy: check the bug reports to see if it's a known error [14:58] ikonia: sorry I am too new to these technical word. [14:58] Appi: no need to apologise [14:58] i have 11 broken softwares [14:58] how to reinstall [14:58] ikonia: Which bug reports? There's a ton of things that can create that error.

Tried to boot the latest-and-greatest Ubuntu from live cd on this Gateway MX3701 laptop. Got a very long wait, then it started spewing "Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block XX" errors. [15:04] pawan: although it's good to make a note of what you download and install in terms of os version [15:04] 8.04 boots with no problem from cd. [15:05] ikonia: Really?

[15:05] hi. i have a desktop with ubuntu on it (8.10), and i have an extra partition which i want mounted at startup, rather than clicking on it in 'Places' every time. is there a 'pretty' was to do it?

[15:09] ubuntu 8.04, how do i locate my usb webcam via terminal so i know which video device it is ? [15:10] Either I get nothing(when doing an advanced search), or I get *everything* [15:10] hi all, anyone that is using 8.10 that are having issue connecting to their Cisco VPN ??? [15:11] Shanix_ 8.10 seems to have issues all over the place. Just my observation though. [15:11] Ïðèâåò, ëþäè! [15:11] I think the helpful tech support has retreated to wait for ubuntu 9.04. [15:11] Hi all - just a simple interface question - I notice some "root" apps like Update Mgr, Synaptic, etc... use a different set of widget than my other programs... Can I change them to use the same widgets? [15:11] Anyone using eBox to control Ubuntu Server? [15:11] wolfwalker, that I know. but I just wonder if we can somehow debug the nm 0.7 with the VPN connection [15:12] Pizarro just ask the question [15:12] À ïî ðóññêè?

Is there a way to have Update Mgr, et al use the sameas the main user account? [15:13] hi guys [15:13] <[Calmar]> hi [15:13] gammy: I agree. it sucks at search. use google! its faster! [15:14] i thought about running ubuntu as server on a i586 machine with 200mhz and 128mb ram. is that possible? [15:14] hi [15:14] hi can someone help me with this prob [15:14] rien-ne-va-plus it will be slow [15:14] http://img504.imageshack.us/my.php?image=45331450zz2.png [15:14] rien-ne-va-plus: you might be better in #handhelds [15:14] does any one here have nvid 8800 gt? [15:14] rien-ne-va-plus: and install a distribution specifically for low memory systems [15:15] In Russia! [15:15] johnflux why woudl a server install on a 200mhz cpu be better in henadhelds ? [15:15] johnflux: where did he say he was using a handheld / [15:15] 128 MB RAM is not low for a server [15:15] HymnToLife of coruse it is [15:16] well [15:16] it depends what kind of server [15:16] HymnToLife: most servers will have more than 128 meg of ram, it depends what your expecting to serve === in3pid is now known as tripitakit [15:16] ikonia: well for example using qtopia would reduce memory usuage [15:16] obviously nothing back [15:16] johnflux: again how is that anything to do with handhelds? [15:16] just private web and ftp hosting, probably doing some automatic downloading [15:16] and by back i mean *big [15:17] does anyone have nvidia 8800 gt? [15:17] rien-ne-va-plus: try it, I think it's lacking [15:17] Hey guys! How I can write ubutnu-image on usb-drive? (from Windows) [15:17] do the handhelds systems have packages for server applications? [15:17] rien-ne-va-plus: they are notmally aimed at different archs which is why I couldn't understand why it was being suggested to you [15:18] gta4kv: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [15:18] rien-ne-va-plus: I would personally install xubuntu, and disable everything you didn't need [15:18] i need help with my nvidia 8800 gt fan [15:18] plz help [15:18] geirha: really thx [15:18] ikonia: alright, i just found eisfair.org, seems to be ubuntu based specifically for server [15:18] will see [15:19] any idea why I get a duplicate eth2 with default settings after I reboot? [15:19] hello [15:19] Hideme can you expand on that please ? [15:19] ikonia, qtopia is a wonderful little environment that was, surely, developed for PDAs, but nobody stops you from using it on a "real" computer. well, except of course that packages for it have disappeared from Debian, and there's been an awful trademarks/copyright/forking dispute. but GPE, the other project that was from handhelds.org, is *currently* in debian and ubuntu. [15:19] I folks ... Installed 8.10 on a separate partition / worked fine until I installed the proprietery Nvidia driver / now crashes during boot and weird thing is, the X is also corrupted on my other (8.04) installation .... Ideas? [15:20] i need help with the fan on my 8800 gt graphics card [15:20] If I want to troubleshoot my touch pad, how do I go about doing it? [15:20] Brand new to Ubuntu - ran it off the Live CD for a while before installing. Installed just fine, but after I ran the updates, I have this wide block across the bottom of the screen where the bottom panel would be. [15:20] LjL qtopia is not "handhelds" though, he wanted a server install, so what has qtopia got to offer on a server install thats already low on ram === rohatyn is now known as topolm [15:21] :( i could use helpz [15:21] Hi all. On my 5.1 system 2 rear channels doesn't work. Any ideas? [15:21] ikonia: Basically, everytime I restart my machine I get a duplicate Eth2 with a default DHCP setting under my connections tab. It differs from the legit eth2 interface I set up and only happens to eth2, not eth0 or eth1. [15:21] Hideme: so if you do an ifconfig -a you see 2 eth2's ? [15:22] anybody have any ideas about the issue? [15:22] Hideme, are you sure the second one is not the eth2-avahi ? [15:23] ikonia: Never checked... I usually just use the network gui to delete the duplicate eth2 soon as it boots. [15:23] Hideme worth checking [15:23] dingupenguin: nvclock and use method suggested in posing number 10 here http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=104713 [15:23] joaopinto: what is eth2-avahi? [15:23] ikonia: good point === desti_T2 is now known as desti [15:23] what's a good console based msn client aside from Finch? [15:23] Hideme, it's a virtual adapter used for avahi, do not ask me what is avahi :P [15:24] joaopinto: haha well then it shouldn't be... since I haven't a clue what avahi is. [15:24] Hi, since i have updated to 8.10 the system open always the screenshot dialog if i press arrow-up...what may i do to remove this? [15:24] unless it's installed with 8.10 [15:24] I installed 8.10 last week after using 8.04 since it was released, like many other users I have had issues when logging in. For example, After I login it does not splash the kubuntu splash screen. I have decided to just wait for bit and download the iso again then retry. How will I know when to download, or if these issues have been resloved? [15:25] johnflux: but rien-ne-va-plus asked about a *server*, never talked about GUI. in that case, i don't see how Qtopia will save memory compared to having no GUI at all, which is the usual setup for a server... [15:25] plz some app for run office 2007 [15:25] hi folks, i'm trying to get firefox32 working on my amd64 system using http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537 , and i've had some success so far, except that there is no sound in the flash plugin that it installs, now, atm the script is installing flash 9, i have flash 10 installed in my 64-bit browser (which has been incredibly unstable since the intrepid upgrade) and i'm thinking there is some sort of conflict or something, [15:25] but it's hard to tell, i've followed the steps the thread suggests for getting flash working but to no avail, i've also tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=655825 but i only get an error, "trying to overwrite `/lib32/libcap.so.1.10', which is also in package ia32-libs", any ideas? [15:26] plz some app for run office 2007 [15:26] ljl: I missed the part that he asked about a server [15:26] Unifonx: Openoffice 3.0 [15:26] rien-ne-va-plus: i strongly recommend against using some obscure Ubuntu derivatives. Ubuntu itself - the official Ubuntu - comes in a server edition. have you considered using that? [15:27] Hi, since i have updated to 8.10 the system open always the screenshot dialog if i press arrow-up...what may i do to remove this? [15:27] Spoom, flash works fine on 64bits [15:27] joaopinto, not for me it doesn't [15:27] I cannot chroot to anything else then the root filesystem on 8.10 64 bit: [15:27] chroot: cannot run command `ls': Permission denied [15:27] if I strace it, I get this: [15:27] hiiiiiiiiiiii [15:28] myself dinesh [15:28] execve("/bin/ls", ["ls"], [/* 17 vars */]) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) [15:28] could someone check http://pastebin.ca/1246938 and tell me what i need to fix/install to build this plasmmoid?

[15:53] !sudo | cwhoward2 [15:53] cwhoward2: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[15:54] dinesh_: I'm not following what you're asking for. The best answer I can give is this -- if you know how to write C already, then the instructions already given you will be familiar to you. You'll get a compiler, a text editor, all that stuff. If you don't know how to write C outside of an IDE, then you need to go away and research the available IDEs for ubuntu. KDE has an IDE suite which isn't bad. If you do not know how to write C alre [15:55] Koordin: I'm not sure what you mean. [15:55] blinx: you may be in the same boat im in. ive "downgraded" back to 8.04 because of the lacking NVIDIA drivers in 8.10. Your system should have defaulted to the open source NV drivers.

You'll find anjuta in the Applications menu afterwards [15:57] dinesh_: sudo apt-get install build-essential for getting a basic copy of gcc, though it doesn't include all the compiler suite.

[17:01] geforce 440 go 64 mb [17:01] geforce4 440 go 64 mb [17:01] how can I remove evolution? [17:01] titon, ok, that is quite old [17:01] its in my laptop [17:01] titon, i wud just do without compiz [17:02] IrishDavid, yea it's gettin old alright heheh e64 mb woohoo [17:02] but it worked great with compiz in 8.04 [17:02] Myrtti: But I then on what write? I russian try to write in english! But he writes me on èíãëèéñêîì and else that-that not complacent!!! [17:02] Anatoliy: join the russian channels for russian help. [17:03] whats the command to set permissions to install games in the games folder ? [17:03] then im not sure, there are sometimes flags you can use... im gonna guess it is in applications that use java [17:03] I'm having some issues with my fstab at the moment; my /home partition isn't mounted, meaning when I boot, it escapes to a prompt, where I'm logged in as root. I can easily type "mount /home; exit" and have it mount my /home and take me to X, but how do I make it automount it again? [17:03] hello, i've recently purchased an external RAID array that came with a pci extreme esata card. i've hooked everything up and i'm getting problems booting with the raid array on. if i turn the raid array off, the computer will boot fine. after that, if i turn the raid array on, it'll detect the drives. [17:03] MenZa: did this start occurring after you had used hibernate/suspend? [17:03] Myrtti: What help!? [17:04] Myrtti: No; I shut it down always. [17:04] Anatoliy: are you here for fun or asking help with your ubuntu problems? [17:04] In Twinview is there a way for the 2 monitors to have different resolutions and not have part of one screen not visable? [17:04] Can the next version of Ubuntu report the user of low disk space please? [17:04] I got a lot of problems when my /home was full. [17:04] lianimator: you can always add a panel applet to warn you [17:05] darkvertex, it hasnt fooled labview... :S [17:05] hello all [17:05] Myrtti: what applet is that? [17:05] is it hard to change video cards in 8.10? [17:05] Can anyone guide me on how to bridge a wireless network to a lan? I tried several online guides to no avail. I want to connection my xbox 360 to my laptop but I cant get media share to work if I use just ICS. Anyone want to help? [17:05] The "symptoms" I got: pidgin kept crashing.. firefox didn't show my bookmarks. [17:05] lianimator: can't remember offhand, I'm on xubuntu now [17:05] Hello. [17:05] IrishDavid: maybe you could install IE for real? [17:06] andril: im not too much into ubuntu, but that shouldnt be a problem in linux usually [17:06] Myrtti: But what is a ubuntu problems? [17:06] Hello. I just connected SATA hard drive, but ubuntu write @Can't mount the disk@, What to do? [17:06] andril: in the worst case you need to recompile your kernel for driver support (say you switched from nvidia to ati) [17:06] enyone here using fedora? [17:06] i have a nvidia 5200 installed and want to change to 7600 are there any special steps to remember? [17:06] interesting. So, because networkmanager doesn't think the interface is up (even though it is), firefox, specifically, can't see that there's a live network connection. [17:06] Jork: you'll get more answers in #fedora :-) [17:06] How do I remedy this? [17:07] thnx Myrtti [17:07] hello, i've recently purchased an external RAID array that came with a pci extreme esata card. i've hooked everything up and i'm getting problems booting with the raid array on. if i turn the raid array off, the computer will boot fine. after that, if i turn the raid array on, it'll detect the drives. [17:07] Myrtti: It doesn't mount it if I substitute the UUID in /etc/fstab with the device location, either. :( [17:07] any issues with WLAN cards in 8.10? I just removed a card with TI chipset and the system *seems* to not freeze any more (well it's been up 8 minutes so far, more than it ever lasted before I removed the card) [17:07] andril: i think this should work off the flow. you might want to adjust /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:08] How do I make Ubuntu run a shell script that I wrote on startup? [17:08] on evolution, what do i enter on server configuration? [17:08] Tetracomm: you can add it to bootlevel, or let it be started automatically by your window manager.. whats it you want? [17:08] heh... if anyone responded, I missed it, because my network connection went down briefly [17:09] Tetracomm: /etc/rc.local [17:09] darkvertex, might try that but think ill get other problems as I think labview uses java, probably better just installing it in windows [17:09] Can anyone guide me on how to bridge a wireless network to a lan? I tried several online guides to no avail. I want to connection my xbox 360 to my laptop but I cant get media share to work if I use just ICS. Anyone want to help? [17:09] So, why is it that firefox, specifically, would be unable to see a live network connection, just because networkmanager doesn't know it's there? [17:09] clearly, xchat can. [17:09] Myrtti:I 14 years, I russian and did not teach the english, but account german! and that you appear? stay-at-home there and æðèòè its fast food! [17:10] as can opera [17:10] how can I use EmulateWheel on intrepid? [17:10] I am on ubuntu 8.10 64-bit but I miss some resolutions. What should I do? [17:10] Anatoliy: if you can't behave or speak English, I'm afraid this channel is not for you [17:10] IrishDavid: that might be better :P some win apps just cannot work right in linux :( [17:11] Can anyone tell me how to bring up eth0 manually? That might get me started in the right direction. [17:11] cory_:ifconfig eth0 up [17:11] darkvertex, there is a linux version but i'll have to pay for that... :S got given the windows one for free from uni [17:11] cory_-> sudo ifup eth0 [17:11] thanks. [17:11] CodeImp ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 up [17:11] to cory even [17:12] NicEXE: rule of thumb: whenever you deal with a system put together of several components, try to test each component individually. If you know a working configuration, go from there, replacing each component one by one until you have the faulty setup. [17:12] NicEXE: in your case, the components include the graphics driver version (i.e. kernel version), xorg version and xorg configuration file [17:13] how do i set permission to install a game? [17:13] anyone know the difference between ubuntu media center and mithbuntu [17:13] NicEXE: so try running the old xorg on the old kernel with your old xorg.conf (downgrading some packages may be required) [17:13] at /local/games [17:13] what I mean is that when I wan't to choose a resolution I only see some of them not all the supported resolutions [17:13] virtualbox 2.0.4 (closed source) on Ubuntu 8.04, guest OS ubuntu 8.04 and win XP. USB devices are shown in the filter but not in the guest OS... Anyone there with a similar config who succeeded to access the USB devices ? (yes, I consulted several Howto and also the virtualbox channel) [17:13] IrishDavid: that's too bad. really. cause i believe it just might cost you a bundle :( [17:14] dingupenguin: you can always "chmod 777 /local/games", so that everyone can store files there [17:14] anybody know why my ubuntu can't read/write a mounted partition (i didn't set mount point when i install ubuntu) [17:14] it does... ill just install in windows [17:14] In Twinview is there a way for the 2 monitors to have different resolutions and not have part of one screen not visable? [17:14] anyone use the similar artist plugin for amarok? [17:14] dingupenguin: if you mean "install with a package manager"--that requires the package manager to write to /var/lib/dpkg/info/ [17:14] sysdoc: which nvidia driver? cause that is a know bug in 177.80 [17:14] Ok... that didnt get me as far as I would have thought. I am trying to get my xbox 360 to connect through my laptop to a wireless network. I am actually using my neighbor's internet connection. [17:14] dingupenguin: which I don't know how to do without making everybody root [17:15] dingupenguin: perhaps policykit and/or sudoers can be tweaked, but that's beyond my knowledge [17:15] cory_-> you have your neighbors permission to use their AP ? [17:15] anybody know why my ubuntu can't read/write a mounted partition (i didn't set mount point when i install ubuntu) [17:15] chadeldridge, That is the one [17:15] NicEXE: has your system worked the way you wanted it previously (i.e. with hardy, gutsy)? [17:15] I have a bash script question. Basically I need to take a string with a space in it and change it to have a \ so I can change directories with the string. Here is my current script http://www.pastie.org/308834 . === Rafik_ is now known as Rafik [17:15] leohartx: open up terminal and say mount [17:15] sysdoc: go to 173 and see if it fixes you .. it does me [17:16] hello, i've recently purchased an external RAID array that came with a pci extreme esata card. i've hooked everything up and i'm getting problems booting with the raid array on. if i turn the raid array off, the computer will boot fine. after that, if i turn the raid array on, it'll detect the drives. [17:16] jonaskoelker: yes [17:16] chadeldridge, thanks for the heads up!! [17:16] jesselucas: "$i" [17:16] n8tuser... he knows I am using it, but i dont have permission to change settings on the switch. [17:16] leohartx: and then see the options with which your partition has been mounted [17:16] found it. networkmanager alerts some applications that the connection is down. Which is irritating, if it *isn't* down. Disabled that. [17:16] chadeldridge, have you tried a separate x session with it? [17:16] gotunandan , i've tried, but it didn't work [17:16] !repeat | psynophile [17:16] psynophile: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [17:16] sysdoc: yes thats what i am doing now cause i hate twinview ... 177.80 will not work but 173 will [17:17] need help regarding keyboard shorcut keys :( [17:17] chadeldridge, cool thx, brb [17:17] I am trying to create a bridge between the two networks, but find it nearly impossible to do it while using networkmanager or wicd [17:17] jesselucas: in bash, when you write "cd foo bar", you give cd two arguments, foo and bar. When you use \, that tells bash "instead of separating into two arguments, just put a space in _the_ argument". Using "some thing" means "everything between quotes is one argument". [17:17] leohartx: so what were the options tht it was mounted with and wht is the filesystem on that partition ? [17:17] jesselucas: so you're not inserting a \, but you're doing something to the same effect [17:17] cory_-> you laptop is already connected to your neighbor's AP ? [17:18] I love how *helpful* networkmanager is [17:18] NicEXE: okay, then try running the newest known working xserver-xorg and linux-image [17:18] n8tuser, wirelessly yes. [17:18] and my xbox is connection with a cable to my nic [17:18] where's the guest session in 8.10? [17:18] cory_-> so whats the problem? [17:18] gotunandan , file system is ext3, option = rw [17:18] Myrtti: closed mouth and eat fast food!! === left is now known as left_blank [17:18] Hi all! Can anyone tell me wich file to fix if it says on update the package cache is corupt ? [17:18] hi [17:18] jonaskoelker: Yeah the $i is the string being returned of the directories but it's getting hung up on because of the space. So I have a directory called "jesse lucas" it is just trying to cd jesse . [17:18] how it *helpfully* gives us no way to set up an ethernet bridge, and punishes us for doing so ourselves... [17:19] jesselucas: oh duh, I didn't read all of your script [17:19] on evolution, what do i enter on server configuration? [17:19] jonaskoelker: I recently reinstalled a fresh copy of ubuntu 8.10 64-bit (I had 8.10 32 bit that was working correctly) === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [17:19] NicEXE: okay? [17:20] n9tuser I can connect to xbox live with firestarter ICS, but I cannot get media sharing to work. I assume it has something to do with the firewall configuration with firestarter, or because the xbox has to have a static ip to work with ICS. [17:20] anybody knows? [17:20] adriaan: bootleve, pipegeek, thank you. :) [17:20] NicEXE: oh, so you changed hardware and not software? === x-spec-t is now known as Spec [17:20] n8tuser, so basicly my problem is I cant get media sharing to work, in a nutshell. [17:20] gotunandan , this is it : http://paste.ubuntu.com/68438/ [17:20] So, if I wan't working audio in linux I HAVE TO get rid of my x -fi card? [17:20] cory_-> what does your xbox requires? [17:20] how can I search for a text string in all the text files in this directory [17:20] leohartx: let me see... [17:20] jesselucas: set IFS=$'\n' [17:20] jonaskoelker: no, only software [17:21] I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 and Flash works with Opera but not with Firefox. Well, it works with Firefox, but sometimes all it shows is a grey box, then I have to close FF and open it again (very, very annoying). No information is shown in the console :/ any ideas? [17:21] eraldo in a terminal type: grep "my text string" * [17:21] NicEXE: but you said (in essence) 64-bit bad, 32-bit good... [17:21] hu, i can't find were is modprobe log file [17:21] cory_-> and yeah, you have to allow the ports used by xbox through your ICS [17:21] NicEXE: which software-only changes did you do from a working version? [17:21] Anatoliy: final warning, do you have an Ubuntu related question? [17:21] if there is one [17:21] hi there... ocmplete noob question... does ubuntu server include Xserver? [17:21] jonaskoelker: Thanks a lot! [17:21] OxDeadC0de: oh thank you :) *very pleased* [17:21] leohartx: the partition in question is sda7 right.... try one thing... unmount it using umount and then mount it again and this time give the options as default [17:21] RoosterJuice : No [17:21] jesselucas: I think... or put the git-thing in a script of its own and do "$ find -exec that-script.sh '{}' ';'" [17:22] @ Roosterjuice : no its commandlinebased [17:22] on evolution, what do i enter on server configuration? [17:22] Whats the command to show the OS name and version.. starts with ls...something.. not uname -a ... Thanks... [17:22] n8tuser, i know in order to use the Windows Media Center the xbox requires to have an IP via dhcp. [17:22] can someone help me out please? [17:22] jesselucas: the -exec thing definitely works, but is more cumbersome [17:22] Lancelot: did you state your problem? [17:22] RoosterJuice If you want to use server [17:22] YES [17:22] oh, sorry, missed it [17:22] on evolution, what do i enter on server configuration? [17:22] jonaskoelker: I realised that my CPU could support 64 bit and I reinstalled a fresh version of 8.10 64 bit [17:22] gotunandan , how do i set it default ? [17:22] jonaskoelker: Awesome, I definitely try that out [17:22] smoovep: cat /proc/version ? [17:22] cory_-> dhcp is dynamic not static [17:22] but you can have a desktop on it by typing apt-get gnome-desktop or somthing but you can also read more about that in wikis around the plannet [17:23] n8user, if I could figure out a way to share uPnp with an ICS setup, I would be happy. === DRNK-Eway is now known as DrunkY [17:23] NicEXE: ah, so you installed the 64-bit version of the software [17:23] smoovep-> lsb_release -c [17:23] aaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuughhh!!! [17:23] Lancelot, your email server Hotmail or whatelse [17:23] n8tuser, thats kinda the problem. in order to use firestarter ICS I have to set it static. [17:23] NicEXE: but 64-bit versions released around the same time as 32-bit version? [17:23] hotmail\ [17:23] Is there a way to get my PC to shutdown at a certain time of day AND turn on at another time? [17:23] whats the command to install compiz setting manager?> [17:23] if you'd like a desktop downloaad the desktop or alternate cd [17:24] leohartx: umount /dev/sda7; mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 /media/sda7 -o defaults; [17:24] its much easier for a noob as you call yoursself to get up and running [17:24] cory_-> you want to set the interfaces towards xbox as static and same subnet you assign to xbox.. man interfaces for more details [17:24] leohartx: you will need to use sudo most likely [17:24] jonaskoelker: I had the same problems with 32 bit ubuntu but they fixed with an update [17:24] harlekin_:so, do I enter www.hotmail.com, or just hotmail? [17:24] Exodus, i'm a noob to linux, so i would prefer a gui... can i run apache and python and everything from ubuntu desktop? [17:24] yess [17:24] RoosterJuice-> yes its okay to run those you mentioned [17:24] NicEXE: I'd try running older versions of kernel+xorg, just to check if that has an effect [17:24] lancelot if you paid for webdav access (use msn as an isp or paid money) you can use hotway and hotsmtp [17:24] thanx guys [17:24] @ youknowme : sudo aptitude install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager [17:24] NicEXE: also, pastebin your xorg.conf [17:25] thx [17:25] ? [17:25] how do i change my network name? [17:25] jonaskoelker: where is my xorf.conf file? [17:25] NicEXE: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:25] youknowme you're welcome [17:25] gotunandan, it doesn't work :9 [17:25] flowers, your hostname? [17:25] for sure there are even great tools for administration like rapache for the indian and many more but the tightest control you can have iss still bash ...commandline meaning [17:25] lancelot: Hotmail doesn't support getting email through email clients unless you pay them money, and even then it's not through regular pop3 servers so you need special software to do it [17:25] r3z: for example, when i open terminal it says flowers@localhost. i wanna change 'localhost' [17:26] NiceEXE /etc/X11/Xorg.* [17:26] vi /etc/hostname [17:26] damn [17:26] so, it won't work? [17:26] DefunctProcess: I think turning on is difficult. Unless your box does IPMI, and you run another computer to use it, I think not. [17:26] lancelot there are services out there like izymail but that costs money too apparently [17:26] DefunctProcess: unless it always turns on when you replug the power wire. Then you can buy a time-based on-off power switch and use that [17:26] thank you r3z [17:26] np [17:26] n8tuser, but is it possible to create a bridge in ubuntu to allow any connections via my NIC card to obtain an IP address via my neighbors router? [17:27] DefunctProcess: yeah, look in your bois for "alarm" [17:27] if you run hostname whatever from console you can change it on the fly. [17:27] gotunandan, i can only read/write while i use gksu nautilus [17:27] it should give you options to auto boot and shut down based on timers [17:27] do you guys use compiz? [17:27] cory_: it is, I would think [17:27] titon: yes [17:27] titon: yep [17:27] jonaskoelker: setting the IFS=$'\n' worked! [17:27] titon : have you got a problem for compiz _ [17:27] cory_-> but then your wifi has to do dual functions, i do not believe you can [17:27] jesselucas: cool :) [17:27] leohartx: ohh... tht means the partition has been mounted with permissions only to the super user [17:27] i'm thinking if i should downgrade to 8.04 just for compiz to run....is it worth the downgrade? [17:28] jesselucas: it'll probably fail if any filename contains a newline :) [17:28] jesselucas: but people who do that should be shot :D [17:28] what?! no eye-candy for 8.10? [17:28] titon: compiz runs fine for me in 8.10 så I don't know about that. [17:28] cory_-> did you read man interfaces yet? [17:28] Exodus, yea on intrepid the drivers that just came out for my old nvidia.....they are buggy......trouble rendering text [17:28] jonaskoelker: haha true [17:28] oh ok... :P [17:28] GOT IT .. lsb_release was not working.. turns out the box is a redhat box... [17:28] jonaskoelker: http://pastebin.com/d4b0686e4 [17:28] n8tuser, ok, that makes since. I will set ICS back up and try to get media sharing back up. [17:28] titon : if you don't problem with your graphic card, compiz workin good on 8.10 [17:28] the cube works great and fps is around 70 [17:28] n8tuser, ok, that makes since. I will set ICS back up and try to get media sharing to work with that setup. [17:29] titon: I can't get compiz working on 8.10 but I am not downgrading, I work on my computer, eye candy is nice and all, but work is the most important bit to me so I am not downgrading [17:29] Does anyone here has an USB TV card which works out-of-the-box with Ubuntu? [17:29] titon : Last updates resolve the problems for nvidia cards.. [17:29] i have an old legacy card [17:29] Anyone know how to be warned when diskspace is low? or if a drive is full? As annoying as the way windows warn you at 200MB, I'd like Ubuntu to warn me at 0B. [17:29] gotunandan, can i change that mode ? [17:29] i only have a built in video adapater with 8m of memory, will compiz run? [17:29] geforce4 440 go 64 mb in my laptop [17:29] NicEXE: that looks kosher; nothing in it is wrong (AFAICT)... maybe the things that are not in it. [17:29] leohartx: use the option user eg $ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 /media/sda7 -o rw,user; [17:29] NicEXE: how's it going with installing old versions of the kernel and xorg? [17:29] n8tuser, from what I understand the /etc/network/interfaces is overridden by networkmanager or wicd if installed. [17:29] j2daosh: worth a try, no? [17:29] titon : you'll install last updates ? [17:29] cory_-> nope its not overridden [17:30] but ofcourse, i just want to know if i should get my hopes up and if it doesn't work correctly, bother making it work [17:30] yea i got the latest ones [17:30] jonaskoelker: how to do that? [17:30] cory_, n8tuser: last I checked, NetworkManager only manages interfaces that are not listed in /etc/network/interfaces [17:30] chadeldridge, thanks worked great! One other problem I have is that the launchers in the gnome panel freezes when started in the 2nd x session. New driver did not fix this [17:30] titon : you'll try envy for install graphic card driver ? [17:30] jonaskoelker-> how do you even get an interface that is not listed on interfaces file? [17:31] sysdoc: are you running compiz ? [17:31] hi does anyone have problems from upgrading 8.04->8.10 where clicking on items in places causes a command-line window to open instead of the folder? [17:31] chadeldridge, yup [17:31] NicEXE: for every line in /etc/apt/sources.list, copy the line but replace intrepid with hardy. Then apt-get update. For each interesting package p, do "apt-cache show p | grep Version"; apt-get install p=<> [17:31] Chad worked great in 8.04 [17:31] NicEXE: interesting packages probably being linux-image and xserver-xorg [17:31] gotunandan, it doesnt work too :( [17:31] chadeldridge, worked great in 8.04 [17:31] n8tuser: you comment out the lines listing it [17:31] sysdoc: try for s#$ts and giggles: compiz --replace [17:32] !update [17:32] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [17:32] Hi guys. A strange 'dd' process is eating all my resources (especially disk access). Anybody knows why it started? [17:32] okay - was here earlier talking about how I had a large white bar across the bottom of my screen that would "tile" whatever was around my cursor. I changed the resolution to 1024x768 and it seems to have fixed the issue. Everything is HUGE now...anyway to fix this? [17:32] !dd [17:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about dd [17:32] jonaskoelker-> have you tried it? just commenting out the lines, and restarted network-manager or wicd ? [17:32] michelecs: that sounds very bad [17:33] leohartx: do one thing do an ls -l on the contents of /media/sda7 and $ ls -ld /media/sda7 [17:33] michelecs, ps -efw and find out exactly what it is doing. [17:33] rohm-> try crtl+ + of the numpad [17:33] n8tuser: only in the pre-intrepid versions [17:33] leohartx: its likely that you are only allowed to read/write on that partition has the super user... because its been mounted with those permissions [17:33] when I chose to share a windows folder from unix , to other windows PC in local network it says " you don't have permissions , ask you admin to " ..whyy? [17:34] gotunandan, can you make it more detail ? [17:34] j2daosh: won't count too much on it... 8mb is not too much [17:34] gotunandan, i mean steps by steps [17:34] yeah, its a netbook :( [17:34] I added this line XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 just befre exit o in rc.local, so it will execute it on startup?

Like I said.. lspci see's it. Lsmod loads the correct kernmodule but no eth interface detected. Detected my wireless pci card just fine.

For example, clicking the firefox icon in the twinview screen works just fine but clicking the same icon in the seperate Xserver prod [18:07] uces and error blank error message and everything grinds to a halt. Another thing to note that might help with the debug is that the little green circle "user available" that comes next to the username on the top right of the screen has been replaced by a generic "file missing" graphic on the seperate Xserver screen; but shows properly in the twinview xserver. I'm pretty new to linux so any help would be very welcome.

[19:03] Vlet: thought you might want to know though.. [19:03] NeT_DeMoN: perhaps stupid question but do you see your network driver in the restricted drivers list? [19:03] epl: hmm, but if you want to have your home directory path reflect the change, you would have to create a new home, and I would be concerned that some gnome settings, etc might retain your username and may cause problems [19:04] hello there [19:04] how r u ubuntu ppl;) [19:04] osama: we r fin how r u 2da [19:04] Hello! I am using ubuntu server and I have a problem regarding PAM limits. The group I would like to limit is the group "ssh", only one session of each user in the ssh group should be able to be logged in at the same time. I'm able to do this in the file limits.conf but the problem is that I want to disconnect the old user session if a new user session was started with the same username. Now, when a user is for example disconnec [19:04] ted from their internet connecton the user stays logged in at my server and I manually need to kill the process for them to be able to login again. Someone know a solution on how I can do this disconnect the old user when the new connects? Worth to note is also that I'm using scponly for the group ssh. [19:04] paul68: yeah [19:04] vlet thanx man [19:04] Vlet: well, just change the path in /etc/passwd and rename the home directory.

EXCEPT: wireless, via 5100 . i understand these drivers are in 8.10, and would like to use this newer release anyway. but i'd appreciate any hints on EITHER figuring out what is cau [19:16] JediMaster: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html [19:17] pangloss: done that too, but it seems to conflict with network manager [19:17] hello [19:17] Drainman: you can rename the /var/cache/apt/archives directory, then create a link from there to some other directory on a partition with more space [19:17] pangloss: I know how to setup network/interfaces, it's just that network-manager has broken everything since the intrepid upgrade [19:17] Will installing ubuntu 8.10 replacing 8.4 solve the wireless connection for laptop that uses quite latest wireless netwrk card (Intel PRO 3945)?

[19:18] lyrae: be careful, if you remove the only admin user you won't be able to log in [19:18] mohdrafie: for the wireless card [19:18] pangloss: done that [19:18] << ubuntu 8.10:: Is there a way to send a "Ctrl-F8" to a vbox hosted XP system from my mouse? with out having the vbox in the active window?

[19:18] yes [19:19] MuseIt, try asking on #vbox [19:19] JediMaster: your second connection is completely gone? or its settings just go back to dhcp? [19:19] billybigrigger: figure it out? [19:19] pangloss, yes sir [19:19] pangloss: only got one connection, and it looses all settings and goes back to the default (even the name changes) [19:19] hi, i have started openvpn , itson, but tun device in iifconfig is missing, and /dev/tun also.(i have 8.10 server), how can i create this device ? [19:20] lyrae: err.. what am I saying, of course you can still log in (with any other non-admin user) but you won't be able to create another admin user [19:20] JediMaster: add another connection [19:20] pangloss: on the same interface? [19:20] JediMaster: and set that one to automatically connect instead of auto eth0 [19:20] where do i find the changelog for what was fixed in the recent compiz updates today? i filled a bug in LP and want to know if these compiz updates will resolve my bug [19:20] paul68: embeded intel pro [19:20] JediMaster: yes, for instance I have one that connects to 802.1x [19:21] epl: aye. what happened was, i changed my username to lyrae. but the home dir is still my old username. i can rename it, but im wondering if there are other things laying around with my old username's settings [19:21] JediMaster: one for static [19:21] JediMaster: and oen for dhcp [19:21] can anyone help me with my graphical problem? [19:21] lyrae: Oh, I doubt it. If the new user has the same uid as the old one, there shouldn't be any problems. [19:21] pangloss: again, it won't let me set the gateway to 192.168.1.254 [19:21] pangloss: it reverts to blank after I click away [19:22] somebody knows something about dhcpv6?

[19:23] pangloss: fixed it [19:23] JediMaster: =O [19:23] epl: well instead of creating a new user and deleting the old one, i just renamed. thus same UID. i should be ok, right? [19:23] pangloss: I set it to 192.168.1.2 then clicked off, it worked and set it back to 192.168.1.254 and it's stuck now lol [19:23] CCM1 [19:23] lyrae: I think so [19:23] epl: lets hope so =] [19:23] pangloss: silly bug, anyhow, going to try with this second connection (not the auto eth0) [19:23] JediMaster: make sure it keeps it when you restart.

[19:27] mohdrafie: if you can upgrade to 8.10 then you have the drivers included [19:27] JediMaster: =P [19:27] looks like the "auto eth0" connection gets lost every time, but you can setup another and it works after boot [19:27] mohdrafie: otherwhise you have to use ndiswrapper to make it work [19:27] !ndiswrapper |mohdrafie [19:27] mohdrafie: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:28] JediMaster: good, just set that one to auto connect and set eth0 to not [19:28] jrib: the documantation page [19:28] paul68: I see, if I were to burn the installer into a CD (as data) and then run the boot from CD.

[19:30] pangloss: well that's everything sorted, I had a dodgy geforce 8800gtx earlier that was so dead it actually tripped the power in the house twice in a row, so had to replace it and the motherboard, and rebooted to find it crashed half way through due to the new hardware, rebooted and lost the entire root partition, did a e2fsck check in boot disk... [19:31] JediMaster: wow [19:31] mohdrafie: to do the upgrade you don't need the cd just read the upgrade notes in previous post [19:31] pangloss: then every directory in the root got put into lost+found without the original names. Luckily I guessed all the names, renamed them all, and rebooted and everything worked (but network-manager) [19:32] paul68: Cheers for helping. I'll try it first. Thanks a lot for helping.

Plus it's using up 5% of my cpu for no reason. Second, why does Tilda suck and is there a way to make it better? it's ugly, slow, and has no attractive border? I'm sticking with Yakuake, but it sucks pulling in the kde libs for a terminal. === `Chris_ is now known as `Chris [19:34] did i mention that my dapper->hardy upgrade left me without a working gui/window environment?

[19:55] Gnea, thank you. maybe Ill get back to you later. thanks [19:55] pangloss: suppor for writing/creating a resume [19:55] MungoPark: good luck [19:55] rogan: you can do a pretty good one in openoffice [19:55] Nergoth libsafe can be bypassed. [19:55] Kengine: I'm also learning but yes you can try it [19:55] Nergoth but it does prevent cook book buffer overflows / format string exploits. [19:56] sipher_, so I can install libsafe and I don't compromise security by this? [19:56] I could not upgrade 8.4 to 8.10 due to no internet connection. Anyone? [19:56] sipher_, always more security, everything can be bypassed ;p [19:56] Nergoth it would improve security. But just be aware, an attacker can bypass libsafe ie. return to libc etc.. [19:56] can anyone recommend an application for creating flowcharts and diagrams? I've been playing with Dia but I would like to try some other products based on user recommendation [19:57] mohdrafie: obtain an internet connection.

Someone suggest me to upgrade to 8.10 [19:57] I'm curious as to why network-manager NEVER works when setup up a vpn connection out of the box? [19:57] mohdrafie: then you'd need to plug in ethernet to upgrade [19:58] suspect43: /dev/input/* [19:58] will that work? [19:58] suspect43: most recent kernels will merge all usb devices into /dev/mouse or similar, so they act like a single mouse from xorg's view\ [19:58] anyone knows xrdp? ( i checkd and its a rdp server ) [19:58] Gnea: he's using the broadcom chipset [19:58] nevermind out of the box...I've installed every peice of vpn software .. still nothen.

Grub starts loading but then the laptop resets, and the loop restarts. Anyone can help me?

[20:02] suspect43: hrmm. why do you even need this? [20:02] Gnea since version 5 its been broken...

[20:04] suspect43: heh, ok [20:04] Would anyone know how I can set keyboard shortcuts for applications? I want ctrl-alt-del to open gnome system monitor.. [20:04] Gnea hell Ive had some success with ubuntu [20:04] sipher_, any way i can see what is using the sound device? [20:04] Gnea but its not constitant. [20:04] sipher_: indeed there are. [20:04] japanfred use lsof to find anything that has the sound device opened. [20:04] sipher_: are you looking in log files? perhaps if could you find more information than "doesn't work". [20:04] bimberi I have... [20:04] sipher_: sadly, without specifics from your end, it is impossible to be able to help you figure out what the real problem is.

[20:05] and I'm 100% positive im not the only one. [20:05] look at the forums. [20:05] sipher_, thats a cool tool...what would the sound device be do you know? [20:05] pw-toxic: are you sure you use the good driver ? [20:06] japanfred not sure.. [20:06] sipher_: oh ok, so you're just wanting to vent :) [20:06] bimberi well not.. [20:06] I'd like to solve the issue... [20:06] but I'd also like a permenant fix. [20:06] When I try to run sound programs under Wine or under VirtualBox with ALSA/PulseAudio, I get sound that lags and/or is choppy. Would removing PulseAudio and switching everything to ALSA fix this problem, or is there a better way? [20:06] as I said. [20:06] anyone knows how should I set SMP and MPS Table in kernel menuconfig for Intel Celeron 220 (one core)?? [20:06] EVERYTIME... [20:06] its painful. [20:06] Le_Chat: i'm using an samsung x20 with intel graphic card.. in ubuntu 8.2 everything worked very good - especially the compiz things like cube... i have updated to 8.10, and i cant use anything of compiz and even moving a window without effects is very slowly [20:06] sipher_: well, you can vent all you like, but it's better than you do it AFK :) however, if you're serious about fixing the problem, you'll need to stop pointing your finger elsewhere and start using it to get some debugging info. [20:07] I hate troubleshooting something that should just work. [20:07] Le_Chat: i know i got an intel i9xx [20:07] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=813394 [20:07] EXACTLY my issue.

[20:09] I had an installation of guarddog und lokkit [20:09] i have tried ftp://user:password@ but it prompts for password [20:09] now I can not connect to the net with my wireless link [20:09] Le_Chat: i didnt install the drivers on ubuntu 8.2 .. it worked after installing 8.2 .. i didnt install any drivers manually [20:09] I might as well install debian if I have to hack all the configs anyway :p [20:09] sipher_: that would definitely be a problem. it's impossible to blanket a solution to work on every possible problem when the situation is so miniscule in nature. [20:09] it worked before and still does on windows [20:10] dafe, : ftp://ip_address:21 and it should prompt for user/pass [20:10] then install debian already [20:10] Gnea miniscule? [20:10] =/ [20:10] dafe, oh, you don't want it to prompt anything ? [20:10] The netwirkmanger shows that I'm connected [20:10] sipher_: yeah, most people do not use that feature [20:10] dafe, click the icon right above 'Places' to give you the old school directory location, then just type in ftp://yourserverhere.net or whatever [20:10] Gnea do you have a job...?

Still no dice. [20:13] mtc: hm. well when you start it, and you click the network manager icon, it shows a list of wireless networks? [20:14] sipher_: even http://tipotheday.com/2007/11/28/connect-to-windows-vpn-server-pptp-with-ubuntu-gutsy/ could possibly point you in the right direction [20:14] Gnea the point is...I is aimed at being user friendly and easy to use. connecting to a Microsoft VPN is VERY common.

[20:15] hacking scripts..band aiding everything [20:15] so...i have to write that a man has a wife with whom he rears children...can you correct this sentence? [20:15] sipher_: where were a few other hits when i googled '' pptp "LCP terminated by peer" ubuntu '' ;) [20:15] andreas__: Try #linguistics [20:15] bimberi ya :( [20:15] pw-toxic: the last version seems to be the 2.3.2.2 [20:16] sipher_: that's all fine and good, but as I said, we're not paid to aim at corporate users. if you expect something to "just work", then go back to windows. we don't have to put up with your constant childish behavior. we are trying to help you and you continue to verbally abuse the help that we are coming up with.

[20:21] linxeh: exactly, and a few of us even pointed him at some helpful sites and made some suggestions - he was just a frustrated user who wanted someone to take out his aggression on. [20:21] Anyway to see physcial drives from the command line for a volume group? [20:21] only sda1 appears...not sda2 or sda3 [20:21] SiDi: amixer [20:21] pangloss: that is a tutorial for ubuntu installation [20:21] Pici, thanks [20:22] admin_masu3701: scroll over a couple of pages, it tells you how to install flash plugins [20:22] Does anyone use peercast/geekast?

It thinks its installing to the wrong architecture [20:25] Can anyone recommend a laptop for Ubuntu suitable for general office productivity, very light gaming and web-surfing?

[20:25] where can I find the USB port on nautilus? [20:26] Grey_Loki, dell vostros are a good deal. but the whole thing with nvidia graphics cards has been sketchy so i don't know... [20:26] SiDi... the SD card appears on the desktop of the LIVE CD mounted... however, it does not appear in the installation process in partition manager [20:26] Grey_Loki: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/linux_3x?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs [20:26] pangloss: not without ndiswarraper and win drivers :( [20:26] Grey_Loki: Anything made by lenovo is great for Linux. :) [20:26] Ah ok Frosty. [20:26] lenovo > dell by far [20:26] (hey there, SiDi!) [20:26] OK guys, where should I start on this one? Shut down my Mini last night and all was well. Boot it up now, and it doesnt show the internal nic or WLAN card. [20:26] i'm on 8.10 - and each time i play a mp3 in rhythmbox it says : "Search for suitable codec?" when its actually playing fine (i.e. it has the codec) - how can i make this message go away?

[20:26] Grey_Loki: I am using T61, can not be happier. :) [20:26] hubar, unfortunately a bit too expensive as well, from what i've seen - kinda looking for something around the £400ish mark [20:26] Hi, all. Don't know how this happened, but all of my Applications menu entries suddenly disappeared. Now, if I click on "Applications", I can't see any entries. It's Ubuntu 8.10. How can I restore a default Ubuntu's menU? [20:27] Though I would love a Lenovo [20:27] Frosty, i think there is a special method for USB connected devices (i assume it's the case for your SD card). If it's about an EEEPC i'm sorry but i don't know anything about how it works. [20:27] pangloss: fritz wlan! [20:27] It's an eee pc [20:27] hmm, try one of those netbooks? [20:27] wow! there are a lot ofpeople on this channel. [20:27] mtc1: hmm, not familiar [20:27] im editing xorg.conf. 8.10 has hardly any entries in there, including no serverlayout section. if I add input devices without a serverlayout section = no X. If i add a new server layout section listing the devices I added = no X. I was told I dont need to add entries for keyboard/mouse as they arent already listed. is this so? what else do i need to do? im setting up an intuos3 tablet [20:27] Frosty, you might want to have a look at how to make a LiveUSB distribution. I assume it works the same way for SD. [20:27] (Hey Bilaw ;p) [20:27] are there any others where i can get info on netowrking issues? [20:27] jobe: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/ [20:28] Grey_Loki: I've run Ubuntu on my dells with no issue before, but meh [20:28] :) [20:28] I am installing off a USB drive and plan to put "/" on the internal SSD and /user on the SD card.... however, only the SSD appears in the partition manager as SDA1 [20:28] Question? I install ubuntu server .. it came with no Xwin.. I tried appget ubuntu desktop .. and xorg.. with gnome install.. but still can't get gnome working.. what am i missing?? [20:28] linxeh, thanks for the recommendation - i'll take a look :) [20:28] brodiesel, you can try generic #linux channel but i'd recommand that you use this one ;) [20:28] Frosty: wait till you get it installed, then move the stuff to the SD card [20:28] ubuntu runs fine on my vostro, but the machine is a time bomb with these crappy nvidia cards. and dell, unlike hp and apple, won't extend the warranty. [20:28] i want to edit my grub/menu.lst, but there are all sorts of entries that are already listed but look commented out. the file says not to remove the comments... what is going on here? are they read by grub in some other way?

I have tried gstreamer-properties with no luck as well as the mplayer config options regarding video ouput [20:37] shredder12: it just sounds like your gnome settings are messed up. try $mv ~/.gnome ~/.gnome_old [20:37] Why would e3fsck report "No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdc1"?

[20:39] coax, i'ld be tempted to point at Konqueror but it's more likely that your flash version is having trouble with your audio config.

Is that normal? === lrojas is now known as lrojas|away [20:57] Hi... anyone know of an alternative to network-manager? Having some issues connecting with it [20:57] zulu [20:58] diskin: ah you now have a lower one. hm. maybe you changed the repositories? [20:58] hello :) [20:58] zsquareplusc, yes, I remember adding some ppa. will check, thanks! [20:59] how do I find out the ubuntu version? [20:59] ...that is intalled [20:59] on the console ^^ [20:59] feindbild: lsb_release -a [20:59] thank you :) [21:00] * jobe is otherwise occupied: Gone away for now [21:00] Is there a way to manual configure wifi? [21:00] chazco: system -> prefs -> network [21:00] Pici: i just notices lsb_release does not work for me! command not found! [21:00] how can I upgrade to php-5.2.6 on ubuntu 6.06? [21:00] jrib - That still uses network manager iirc [21:01] what's a good channel to go to to ask network related questions, not necessarily on ubuntu [21:01] so anyone can tell me why iam not getting sound out of my headphones but speakers are fine on my notebook [21:01] glacius: check the audio mixer, there's a checkbox for headphones in it [21:01] jrib - Is /etc/network/interfaces (or whatever is used) still supported? [21:02] mehelp: its checked [21:02] is there an application out that will blast my speakers to bast their max? [21:02] chazco: you can use it, but then network manager won't work I believe (check me) [21:02] i'm still working on my graphic driver problem ... i'm using samsugn x20 with an intel i915.. since i updated from 8.02 to 8.10 my graphic driver seem not to work because the compiz effects can't be applied [21:02] i really would appreciate any help [21:02] or something of that sort, I need my volume higher === x_or is now known as x_or|away [21:02] !away > x_or|away [21:02] x_or|away, please see my private message [21:02] jrib - Given that network manager wont work anyway, i think i'll try it... wasnt sure if support was still there or not. Thanks :) [21:02] glacius: that's all i know [21:03] Maltor124; http://www.supergrubdisk.org/forum/index.php?board=2.0 have you looked through SuperGrub's forums? [21:05] Hi [21:05] I want to set up a local package mirror [21:05] glacius: in playback.. if you dont see headphones click on edit->preferences and look for headphones and select it [21:06] glacius: ignore that [21:06] but i want it to be more of a package cache really [21:06] in ubuntu there is a way to zoom in and out. how do I do this? [21:06] djhash: ok [21:06] meaning if a user tries to fetch a package it should be mirrored [21:06] djhash: its checked already [21:06] glacius: actually.. do that.. forget about switches.. in the playback tab.. make sure there is a headphone column [21:07] but i dont want to mirror 30 gb of packages if only 2 gb is being used [21:07] Dominik: you can use the Orca tool its in assistive technologies in system [21:07] @Dominik: Win+1, Win+2, Win+3 [21:07] Dominik: did you try preferences -> keyboard shortcut? [21:07] djhash: its checked but it is only in switches tab [21:08] glacius: there might be something that is not proper.. mess around with mixer settings.. and see if something will cause sound to come out of the headphones.. (unless ofcourse the issue is in the headphones being broken :-P) === benj_ is now known as Le_Chat [21:08] #perl [21:09] should I choose primary or logical when partitioning for the / mount point? [21:09] has anyone here installed gnome do on 8.10? if so could you explain how, the repos on the wiki refer to hardy, so I was wondering if I should use them or not... ? [21:09] djhash: nothe hp isfine works with mp3 player [21:09] ahhhh i need help with my graphic drivers! [21:09] anyone out there have a link for a decent guide on "customizing conky for beginners" ? [21:09] akjda: primary if there is enough place ( at most 4 primary) [21:09] akjda, primary if you can, otherwise logical [21:10] Agent7629: have a look at my conkyrc, http://rafb.net/p/6WzpOP10.html [21:10] someone using a speedtch and intrepid 64bit? [21:10] Agent7629: and read the manual. It love you long time [21:11] thx guys [21:11] good afternoon/evening [21:11] a minute ago my system went awall and whenever I used my scroll wheel it zoomed in and out.... I figured a key was stuck but can't figure otu which one it was [21:11] Is there a special way I can mount a ext3 drive to a certain directory inside /home (as I could with an ntfs partition), or can I just use mount? [21:11] how do i get the sound to be recorded with recordmydesktop? I can hear movies and music. [21:11] 'lo all... [21:11] has anyone here tried compiling kdebindings-4.1.3? [21:11] jonaskoelker: yea, the manual is my next stop (before i dove in, i figured i'd ask for advice on it tho) cause sometimes manuals only confuse you more [21:12] !es [21:12] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [21:12] !es > Terrasque [21:12] Terrasque, please see my private message [21:12] Agent7629: true.

The error message tell me the installer cant read the /tmp/install.10424/linux/....... but if I go see in the directory. I can see the file. and they are chmod 777 [21:12] terrestre, please see my private message [21:12] glacius: yeah.. the only thing is to check the mixer settings.. maybe something ended up not being labelled properly.. its possible that the port is not headphones.. but rather aux or line out etc.. [21:12] could someone tell me how to install the Lexmark X4550 printer (has wi-fi) ? [21:12] having some probs setting up gdm for xdmcp in ubuntu 8.04... i've enabled it in the gdm.conf and can connect from local host either with X :1 -query or Xnest :1 -query, but remote machines can't [21:12] <^hellfire^> siema [21:12] djhash: ok [21:13] Hi, would anyone be able to help me with the partition editor in Ubuntu ? [21:13] Things: [21:13] yes [21:13] thanks [21:14] :-? [21:14] I have my hard drive, which basically already has 1 partition on it [21:14] fghfkdsghjksdfgfd [21:14] that partition is NTFS, but the partition editor wont let me resize it [21:14] Hi all. [21:14] is there a specific HW requirement to us ubuntustudio to get realtime cpu usage? [21:14] Things, how much free space do you have on it? [21:14] I have 8.10 beta, I just ran a software upgrade and updated everything [21:15] About 15GB [21:15] Things - make sure windows shut down cleanly. boot to windows, run chkdisk /f on it, reboot to windows *twice*,and you should be good to go [21:15] Things: did you turn off windows properly? if you turned it off abruptly a flag is ticked - yeah that one [21:15] but I don't see the distribution update thingy in Software Update/Update Manager when I check [21:15] Is driver support for Nvidia and ATI cards better than that for intel? [21:15] and typing sudo apt-get dist-upgrade yeilds "0 packages avaliable" [21:15] Things: it sounds like you need to shutdown Windows properly. [21:15] I have tried that [21:15] id10t, wouldn't you need to defrag as well so it's all done cleanly? [21:15] things what is ur problem? [21:15] cars__, i've not had to, but then i don't dual boot.... [21:15] good evening [21:16] good evening XD [21:16] has anyone here installed gnome do on 8.10? if so could you explain how, the repos on the wiki refer to hardy, so I was wondering if I should use them or not... ? [21:16] ive ran a disk check,, but not the /f one ? [21:16] Does anyone have a MSI Wind laptop ? [21:16] hey sidi you still around? [21:16] cars__, id10t: defraging is good practice and may make things go faster but isn't usually needed [21:16] Things: /f will force the check on restart [21:16] BWM: do you have intrepid in your /etc/apt/sources.list? Try doing an apt-get update [21:16] although I always do [21:16] Is there a special way I can mount a ext3 drive to a certain directory inside /home (as I could with an ntfs partition), or can I just use mount? [21:16] Yeah, ive done the dskchk already [21:16] kk [21:17] Things: is this the ubuntu partition resizer you are using? [21:17] The only time the yellow usage bar shows up in the partition is when the drive is mounted [21:17] cars__: I'm not sure what you're asking, but "just use mount" sounds right [21:17] But then it wont let me resize it [21:17] Things: oh you can't resize when it is mounted though [21:17] when you install the flash plugin in firefox, is that an open source plugin or does it come from adobe? [21:17] brodiesel, yes [21:17] Yeah [21:17] brodiesel, i'm leaving soon though [21:17] patmaddox: flashplugin-nonfree is adobe [21:17] But it wont let me resize it at all [21:18] patmaddox: There are both. The Adobe one works better, unfortunately. [21:18] patmaddox: most likely adobe, gnash I think it is is open source [21:18] djhash: thanks i will continue to search === lrojas|away is now known as lrojas [21:18] I think !flash has some info [21:18] can anyone help getting usb to work on virtual machine using intrepid and virtualbox ose? thanks [21:18] It's running... lemme try the upgrade again. [21:18] The minimum space is the same as the max [21:18] patmaddox: if you reinstall it from a terminate, piping std{out,err} to a file, you'll see it wget a file from adobe [21:18] yes, the nonfree is best I'm afraid [21:18] I use that :( [21:18] i attempted to use the rom as a repository and it unmounted the drive and loaded in synaptic, but then as it started copying the pacjkages, said it couldnt resolve the drive. thoughts? [21:18] alright, thanks for the explanations everyone [21:19] Ive run a dskchk, and ive also run a defrag on windows [21:19] any other way to download and save something while on the disc that can be accessed in the install? [21:19] ...nope [21:19] still nothing [21:19] all my settings are correct; I've checked the guide [21:19] is there some way to see my ubuntu version? [21:19] having some probs setting up gdm for xdmcp in ubuntu 8.04... i've enabled it in the gdm.conf and can connect from local host either with X :1 -query or Xnest :1 -query, but remote machines can't. No FW in the way, etc [21:20] hi nochmal! [21:20] berty642: Mounting in it your host OS and exporting the filesystem (Samba, NFS) is probably your best bet for that. [21:20] BWM: see "system->info about ubuntu" menu. [21:20] brodiesel, please try to write "SiDi" in your messages adressed to me as i'm on 5 channels [21:20] can you run vuze 4.0 in 8.10 64 bit ? [21:20] it says I have 8.10 [21:20] Why wonmt it let me resize the partition? :( [21:20] not 8.10 beta [21:20] XD [21:21] id10t: You'll have to disable the "notcp" (I think) option on the xserver, if you want to connect directly over a non-tunneled (eg: ssh) session. [21:21] #ubuntu-es [21:21] Things: use gparted [21:21] !enter | BWM [21:21] BWM: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:21] I am [21:21] when you're building a dual-boot machine, you install windows first, and then ubuntu, right? Or is it the other way around? [21:21] But it wont let me change the size [21:21] brodiesel, no idea about that weird message you had about the CD. other ways would be to check how to make your own repository (complicated afaik), or take the packages from packages.ubuntu.com but it may be hard to find the good ones and dependencies [21:21] woody86, windows first, then Ubuntu [21:21] karsten, thanks! [21:21] Okay, sorry. [21:21] Things: you rebooted computer with gparted live cd? [21:21] hello [21:22] Things: and it would not let you resize? [21:22] brodiesel, either, get an ethernet cable for the time to install your drivers ^^ [21:22] cars__- ok, that's what I thought. Thanks :) [21:22] Ive got the latest Ubuntu live CD ? [21:22] id10t: I'm trying to find where that's set. [21:22] Things: no you need gparted to resize partitions [21:22] woody86 you can do it the other way around too, but windows will erase grub from the mbr [21:22] that's why most people do it windows first then lin [21:22] id10t: Essentially: X won't listen to remote connections by default now. It's a security feature, as X sends all traffic clear over the local net. [21:22] sidi: thanks, yeah i share wireless with the neighbors, but that might be the only way to do it. thanks again! [21:22] karsten, i can find it in gdm.conf [21:22] Things: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [21:22] OxDeadC0de- ah, I see [21:22] thanks [21:22] jonaskoelker, I'm asking if I can mount an ext3 partition at a specific directory (/home/user/morespace) on my main partition. The one I'm trying to mount is an old Debian or Ubuntu install which went awry and I reinstalled on another partition. I'd still like to keep the old /home directory, but don't need the rest of the OS on there. Does that make more sense? [21:23] OxDeadC0de: It's easy enough to replace. [21:23] Hi! Any X.org + HAL experts out there? === zsquareplusc is now known as zsquareplusc_ [21:23] OxDeadC0de: Also, your nick *should* be 0x, not Ox (number, not letterO. [21:23] brodiesel, you're welcome, sorry not to be able to help you more [21:23] id10t: Ask. [21:23] ilia: Ask. [21:23] karsten, line 266 of gdm.conf on my ubuntu 8.04 [21:23] id10t: NM. === zsquareplusc_ is now known as zsquareplusc [21:23] karsten lol I know, but freenode won't let me use 0 as the first charactor [21:23] id10t: There you go. [21:23] syslog says it recognized my USB mass storage device, but the output of mount indicates it's not mounted and it doesn't show up in Nautilus either. Any hints on where to start debugging? [21:24] levander, dmesg [21:24] levander, or unplug it, tail -f /var/log/messages and plug it in [21:24] I just upgraded to intrepid and my keyboard is really funny... my PgUp PgDn and arrow keys are not working [21:24] ah well. It's not a huge problem atm. [21:24] Thanks all, bye. [21:24] I'll try the gparted live CD, thanks for the help :) [21:24] id10t: "nolisten tcp" is the option. === benj_ is now known as Le_Chat [21:25] hi is this the tech support chat? [21:25] cars__: it shows why the answer isn't as straightforward as I first thought, but I can't quite make out what you're asking. Even so, I think the answer is either "Yes", or "You can do something better", or "You can do something to that effect" [21:25] ironmedic: /topic. Yes. [21:25] id10t: this is what comes up: http://pastebin.ca/1247288 [21:25] ironmedic: ask away [21:25] karsten, yup, found it. will test when i get to my lab later [21:25] !topic [21:25] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [21:25] how do i change the resolution on the consoles in ubuntu? the ones on F1, F2 etc [21:25] id10t: looks fine to me [21:25] id10t: G'luck. [21:25] juaco find the proper vga= line to pass to the kernel at grub [21:25] i need some help. i cant get the gnome display manager to start on my inspiron 2500 laptop. i have to turn off apci and what not when i boot with CD [21:26] id10t: is sdc the device file for my usb device in that output? [21:26] is the any statistics about ubuntu download in time period? [21:26] cars__: you have one partition with a lot of data in /home/cars/*, and you have another partition with a lot of data *except* in /home/cars/*, and you want to have a lot of data everywhere. Right? [21:26] Juaco: Usually with a GRUB vga= option. You might also be able to use another utility whose name is escaping me. [21:26] Why will the latest Ubuntu 8.10 not boot on my laptop unless quiet splash is turned off? [21:26] OxDeadC0decool, karsten: thanx [21:27] And why is xchat-gnome the only thing that shows up when I search synaptic for xchat? [21:27] levander, yes it is. but since it is a moto phone, i'm not sure if it has a partition. one of my students did a demo of moto4lin and it worked well, as long as he ran it as root via sudo [21:27] wolfwalker: have you tried letting it sit and attempt to boot for like 5 minutes [21:27] Does anyone use "Tom's Windows manager" = [21:27] fonzarelli yup [21:27] please, how to list all ethX installed? ifconfig seems to be missing two [21:27] Just freezes up [21:27] still no sound. though, I installed some of intrepid-proposed, and the module seems to be used "more" [21:27] *window [21:27] wolfwalker: k, with Hardy I thought it wasn't booting but it turned out it was waiting for something to time out at boot time from the cd, not sure what [21:27] Yeah, Hardy is cool. Intrepid is what is giving me a fit. [21:27] Juaco: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO-5.html [21:28] nothing12345: I'd think so, otherwise ubuntu probably wouldn't package it. You can check in the popularity-contest results if you want hard numbers... [21:28] i need some help. i cant get the gnome display manager to start on my inspiron 2500 laptop. i have to turn off apci and what not when i boot with CD and it works fine. i dont know how to edit the boot to make it load right from the HD [21:28] Juaco: Lists the resolutions that should be available. [21:28] In the last X.org (in ubuntu 8.10) the input driver (evdev) for both mouse and keyboard works by default through HAL. I run 2 X servers simultaneously and need to specify which keyboard/mouse is used by which server. Right now I've disabled HAL support (Option "AutoAddDevices" "false") and use an older method (Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:02.1-usb-0:10.2:1.0-event-kbd"). Anybody knows how can I make HAL tell about some mouse/kbd to 1st [21:28] X server and about others to 2nd X server, or something like this? [21:28] jimcooncat, ifconfig -a [21:28] is the any statistics about ubuntu download in time period? [21:28] ironmedic: You can edit the boot command by interrupting grub at boot time. [21:28] id10t: thanks very much [21:28] jimcooncat, np [21:29] im still learning commands and what not. im not totally sure what to add to the boot [21:29] ironmedic: Hit 'e' to edit your boot stanza. Go to the kernel line and add 'noacpi acpi=no', then , then 'b' to boot. [21:29] ok [21:29] ironmedic: there's a help command when you're there. [21:29] how can I upgrade to php-5.2.6 on ubuntu 6.06.02? [21:29] anyone know what I should be looking for relating to audio problems in intrepid? === Le_Chat_ is now known as Le_Chat [21:30] is it possible to use encryptfs on an entire partition...ie /home ? [21:30] ironmedic: To permanently change this, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (as root), and edit the options lines (they're commented) at the top of the file. [21:30] Hello, I like my hostname to be set by the record in my DNS at boot up with Hardy, is this possible ? [21:30] ilia: in which section does one set AutoAddDevices? [21:31] ironmedic: You want to modify the kopt line. Add the same values (acpi=no noacpi) to that. Then run (as root) update-grub [21:31] jonaskoelker: ServerFlags [21:31] ironmedic: At that point the option should be persistent. Reboot to test. [21:31] ilia: thanks. You might have just saved my week, as this appears I can make EmulateWheel settings survive unplugs :) [21:31] Does anyone know how I can find regular ole XChat (NOT XChat-Gnome, which is a severely locked-down program) in Synaptic in Intrepid? [21:31] jonaskoelker, I'll try to explain it better. It's something like that. I have two partitions. My main partition which is / (partition A), and another partition ("Partition B" an old Ubuntu install which I don't need anymore except for its /home directory). I want to mount partition B onto my current /home/user/morespace directory, effectively merging the two filesystems. === x_or|away is now known as x_or [21:32] cars__ that sounds incredibly dangerous. [21:32] cars__: That's just a simple mount then [21:32] I have a problem with cron :( The cron.daily scripts are meant to run at 3.25am but are running at 7.30-8.00am why ? [21:32] Adylas: You can run preup/postup commands when you bring up networking. Might be able to hook it in that way. I wouldn't generally do that. [21:32] hey all [21:32] Adylas: Hostname should be canonical and hardcoded. [21:32] dumb question, how can I play an ISO movie? [21:32] i tried to mount with -o loop but it wont play it [21:33] j2daosh: mount should work.. what did you mount it to? [21:33] jonaskoelker, wolfwalker: Your responses are very conflicting :) [21:33] Adylas: http://jblevins.org/computing/linux/hostname [21:33] Yup [21:33] cars__: :) [21:33] neil_d: UTC? [21:33] karsten: thanks for the information. i will give it a try and see how it works! [21:33] !clone > slayton [21:34] slayton, please see my private message [21:34] But I think jonaskoelker was reading the mount part while I was reading the merge part cars__ [21:34] cars__: wait, you have data in /dev/B/home/cars you want to keep? [21:34] mount -o loop /media/external/WANTED.ISO /mnt/movies [21:34] i see the VIDEO_TS got loaded, but not the audio [21:34] j2daosh: then you navigated to /mnt/movies .....? [21:34] karsten: I don't know, the 'date' program gives the correct time. [21:34] yes [21:34] Does anyone know how I can find regular ole XChat (NOT XChat-Gnome, which is a severely locked-down program) in Synaptic in Intrepid? [21:34] brb, gotta shoot down x :) [21:34] j2daosh: sounds like a codec problem [21:35] band new install of ubuntu 8.10 [21:35] j2daosh: if sound isn't working, what did you use to play it? [21:35] dragon player attempted to load the video file, but couldn't fined the media [21:35] karsten: Well, I dont know if you remember that time but redhat was asking in his setup if you want to set a hostname or get the one from DNS. I know its a special setup but its nice when you have a lots of clients. [21:35] jonaskoelker, yes. Otherwise I'd just format the partition. Would it be easier to just back that data up, format it, and reinstall the whole thing over again, making a separate /home partition out of partition B? [21:35] wolfwalker♂ sudo apt-get install xchat, should give you the vanilla version [21:35] wolfwalker aptitude search xchat returns xchat for me, try enabling the other repositories in software sources [21:35] j2daosh: ever try vlc? [21:35] i think sound works, its just the mount doesn't show the AUDIO_TS folder [21:36] neil_d: What's your TZ offset? 'date -R' gives that in RFC 2822 (mail) format [21:36] after i ran that mount command it only shows VIDEO_TS in the /movies dir [21:36] hateball tried that. reloaded all repositories, added all repos I could think of, etc, still wouldn't give me REAL XChat. [21:36] j2daosh: are you sure your ISO isnt corrupt? [21:36] wolfwalker: You simply need universe, and the package is "xchat", please pastebin your sources.list and we'll take a look [21:36] I can find xchat just fine in 8.04, but not in 8.10. Is there a filter that is turned on by default? [21:36] fsck says my superblock is bad, is this the end of my HDD? [21:36] anybody ... how can I upgrade to php-5.2.6 on ubuntu 6.06.02? [21:37] karsten: sydney/australia = +11 atm [21:37] wolfwalker, a simple "add/remove..." then type xchat gave me both versions available to install [21:37] In Ubuntu 8.10 is the "i810" driver depredicated in place of the "intel" driver for onboard video? [21:37] wolfwalker♂ Flannel is right, Universe is needed [21:37] cars__: I'd do "find /home/cars | sort > /home/cars/A-files.txt" and "find /mnt/B/home/cars | sort > /home/cars/B-files.txt", then "combine A-files.txt and B-files.txt" (install moreutils) [21:37] I have both universe ticked. [21:37] BrickHaus: yes [21:37] cars__: if you don't have that many overlapping files, just move to your new home [21:37] hi, can someone please help me with a blank screen after login? [21:37] of course, I was trying during day 2 of Ubuntu 8.10.......... [21:37] Servers were in fact awfully crowded. [21:38] neil_d: Nope, it's not that then. You have cron or anacron installed? [21:38] karsten: by my calculations, that would mean an 2pm if it was using UTC. [21:38] cars__: oh well, do you have room for all your old files on your new home? Then just backup, nuke from orbit and restore. [21:38] wolfwalker, your need to check "All available software" in Add/Remove [21:38] Hi I'm having a problem watching streaming video in firefox, it all works fine but after 10 minutes the screen starts to dim. I've adjusted all the Ubuntu setting for brightness to never dim the screen, but it still happens! [21:38] Adylas: I didn't say I *wouldn't*, I just said I'd be leary of it. [21:38] cars__: that is, mkfs.ext3 on B, and mount it somewhere inside /home/cars [21:38] wolfwalker: pastebin your sources list please, and the output of 'sudo apt-get update' [21:38] karsten: ;-) [21:38] chadeldridge: Thanks. Is there a good tool probe and make xorg.conf file. My rez is capped at 800 by 600 [21:39] karsten: it appears to have both. [21:39] feindbild: Why do you need 5.2.6? [21:39] wolfwalker, to select. By default, only application maintain by Canonical is shown, and Xchat is not in their list [21:39] Adylas: I've worked with large farms. Setting something that checks periodically for the assigned name of a host, and writing that to a file periodically, might be doable (so a chronjob'd check). What happens if DNS isn't up or something else goes wrong? I'd still like to have something persistent offering a hostname. [21:40] neil_d: anacron can result in jobs not running when scheduled. You also want to check TZ values for cron and such. You can examine a running cron process's environment in /proc//env [21:40] karsten: maybe I should stop anacron [21:40] neil_d: It's an ascii-nul terminated string, so you'll need to unpack it.... [21:40] jonaskoelker, the problem is that partition B is an old (2005ish) install. My current / partition (which includes /home, unfortunately) is only 11GB total (2.8GB free). Partition B's /home is 13GB. [21:40] hi, i wanna know how to change the splash screen which is booooring :) i have kubuntu using hardy ... [21:41] philippe_ that has the be the single most stupid default setting I've ever heard of. Turning off universe by default? [21:41] !usplash | winterelf [21:41] winterelf: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [21:41] Hi, no matter what program I use I cannot burn a CD, brasero gives me "a write error occured which was likely due to overburning the disc (brasero_burn_record burn.c:2270)", anyone experienced this? (this used to work for me just fine and google doesn't provide any answers) [21:41] Flannel: lastest stable version, has got LOTS of bugfixes and json functions ... [21:41] Do tell me they are just testing some things out to see what flies and what crashes. [21:41] Please [21:41] neil_d: tr -s '\000' '\n' < /proc/self/environ | grep ^TZ= [21:41] is there an app like bluej (http://www.bluej.org/) in ubuntu? otherwise i'll be forced to go into windows :( [21:41] ubottu : thanks [21:41] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [21:41] cars__: in that case, move everything to B and use that as the new home [21:41] wolfwalker: No, universe is enabled by default, but add/remove only shows a small subset of packages (which are recommended). Synaptic gives you full blown repos [21:41] neil_d: ... modulo s/self// there as that looks at the calling process. [21:41] if you're happing running your OS from A [21:41] Any good guides on how to configure xorg.conf file? I've got montior specs just don't know what to put in for my video card correctly. [21:41] feindbild: Will 5.2.4 work (plus buxgfixes?) [21:42] neil_d: ... otoh you could schedule that as a cronjob to see what's happening. [21:42] Great. More things to change after install........... [21:42] Flannel: yes, 5.2 would work ... [21:42] neil_d: root to read another user's process, natch. [21:42] yay, upgrade from Hardy to Ibex succeeded with flying colors! [21:42] That's one of the things I really liked about Ubuntu. Almost everything was set up just right for basic end-users. Not at all like Windows-anything. [21:42] boo2: I've had really good results with k3b. Not sure of debug. [21:42] Gnea: congrats [21:42] Flannel: plus I'm wondering how to install pecl on ububtu ... it is part of PHP ... [21:42] Pirate_Hunter: What does bluej do? [21:42] how can I disable the "unluck default keyring" dialogue? I want it to connect automatically to a hotspot near by [21:42] feindbild: Yeah, I see it in the changelong. 5.2.4 is available in Hardy, if you are willing to upgrade to the next LTS. (You can upgrade from 6.06 straight to 8.04) [21:43] why netbeans works so slow on Ubuntu? [21:43] jonaskoelker: I'm especially impressed with the kernel support it's got so far. found my tvcard right off the bat. [21:43] I'm trying to play a DVD in ubuntu using VLC, but it keeps failing on me with problems similar to this: http://lists.medibuntu.org/pipermail/bugs/2007-April/000181.html [21:43] karsten: hmm i posted a link but yeah it allows me to compile java programs [21:43] Gnea: awesome! [21:43] Flannel: I'm a slackware user ... I don't know much about ubuntu ... and I don't have physical access to the machine in question ... so I'm not very fond of doing a dist upgrade ... [21:43] Mplayer didn't fare any better. [21:43] Pirate_Hunter: aptitude search java ide [21:44] Pirate_Hunter: It's a Java IDE. You could just say that. [21:44] jonaskoelker: yes, no more fighting with v4l-dvb :) [21:44] Is there some magical trick to getting DVD playback working in Ubuntu? [21:44] Flannel: cause if something goes wrong ... I have no way to fix it by inserting a CD ... [21:44] how can I disable the "unluck default keyring" dialogue? I want it to connect automatically to a hotspot near by [21:44] CIAO [21:44] !LISTA [21:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about lista [21:45] jonaskoelker, In that case, how do I move my current /home to /home on partition B? I'm currently logged in as the user, of course. Do I need to reboot into a liveCD? [21:45] Debolaz, don't know about VLC. For getting DVD to work, I install totem-xime and then I uninstall totem-gstreamer. That's all :) [21:45] i installed netbeans on ubuntu, and it works very very slow, can anybody help me fix this problem? [21:45] Pirate_Hunter: Eclipse, Emacs, Xemacs, geany. Google "linux java ide" [21:46] what is the reason for ubuntu not graphicly supporting iso mounting? Or did i change in 8.10? [21:46] ubottu : it seems like the link doesn't work... after i install what u said to me about the splash screem how should i open the program who shange it? [21:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:46] cars__: create a new user, log in as that user. [21:46] karsten: i couldnt say that since i didnt know it was a java ide, im noob to java [21:46] karsten: this computer is a server, and spends most of it time on, shouldn't it be ok to disable anacron ? [21:46] ubottu : if there is any [21:46] !dvd | Debolaz [21:46] Debolaz: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [21:46] Pirate_Hunter: Good list of 'em here: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Devtools/ides.html [21:46] cars__: use ps -Fe | grep cars to check that your normal user isn't running anything [21:46] neil_d: Yes. I'd purge it frankly. [21:46] winterelf: ubottu is a bot [21:46] karsten: thank you very much youre a darling [21:46] feindbild: The only PHP version available for dapper is 5.1.2, which has all of the security updates, but you can't use JSON without the php5-json package [21:46] cars__: though I wouldn't worry too much about the file system being in use [21:46] DJones : hmmmmmmmmmmmm so how? [21:47] :/ [21:47] cars__: you're just copying/moving files, not changing file systems or partitioning [21:47] Flannel: not available in that version :/ [21:47] Pirate_Hunter: That's not what my girlfriend says. [21:47] winterelf: I didn't see your original question, so I'm afraid I've no idea what you're looking into [21:47] feindbild: What? php5-json is available [21:47] karsten, what she wont know what shes missing till its gone [21:47] feindbild: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/php5-json [21:47] cars__: the worst thing I think could happen is that some daemon (say, trackerd) modifies your per-user cache while you're updating it, and you lose the updates, or your get a corrupted file. Most of "your own" files the system doesn't touch on its own... [21:47] Pirate_Hunter: Heh. [21:48] DJones : i wanna change my spalsg screen (the screen that appears when i'm booting linux) i'm using kubuntu hardy (8.01 [21:48] Flannel: # apt-get install php5-json Reading package lists...

[21:49] feindbild: It's in universe, you must not have universe enabled [21:49] DJones : thanks i'll try again [21:49] Flannel: how? ^^ [21:49] !universe | feindbild [21:49] feindbild: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[21:50] karsten [21:50] verytime Ubuntu boots up this annoying message pops up asking for the keyring, is there a way to disable this? [21:50] Flannel: thank you :) I'll try ^^ [21:50] ok, last thing i saw was sometone telling me the file was corrupt. that isn't the case because it plays on windows when i use daemon tools to mount it [21:50] jonaskoelker, I'm trying to create a new user using Users and Groups, but I can't seem to authenticate to unlock it.

[22:25] after upgrading to 8.10 my ~/.bash_profile doesn;t get sourced when starting a new shell anymore [22:25] the file is called kismet and also aircrack...I'm trying to teach myself some things about WEP encyption and wireless security [22:25] b3z3rk3r: n where do i find the forum page, in the forums? [22:25] Any way to run Windows Live Writer on ubuntu? [22:25] dangsos: those are available through apt [22:25] apt = ? [22:25] am I supposed to be exporting env variables elsewhere now? [22:25] dangsos: synaptic, apt-get, etc. can be used to install them automatically [22:25] dangsos: run that debfile again, it will have a tab that lists installed files [22:25] look at them, may be you will get an idea [22:26] anyone? [22:26] I've used synaptic but I can't find where to execute the file === dmsuperm1n is now known as dmsuperman [22:26] dangsos: so you've already installed them using synaptic? [22:26] I've read it should show up under >applications>internet>(myfilehere) but it's not there [22:26] hmmm..lots of errors while upgrading to 8.10. >.> [22:26] correct prince_jammys [22:27] dangsos: apt is the package management system. aptitude, apt-get, synaptic, etc., are front-ends to apt. [22:27] dangsos: are they gui apps or command-line apps? [22:27] dangsos: open that .deb file again, it will have a tab that lists installed files [22:27] command line apps [22:27] * B3z3rk3r helps unibob look for the rollback button [22:27] well i know aircrack is command line, i think kismet is gui [22:27] it's installing now, might just be cause the needed files are in use maybe? [22:28] dangsos: dpkg -L kismet will show you the files it installed. the executables are probably in /usr/bin. ie. /usr/bin/kismet [22:28] hello everyone [22:28] I'll look, thanks [22:28] could anyone give me a little help with ubuntu, im a big time beginner [22:28] B1g0lCAQ hey, what do u need help with? [22:28] Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape, [22:28] or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): what i have to do? [22:28] can i pm you? [22:28] dangsos: in any case, if the name of the executable is 'kismet' you can just type 'kismet' in a terminal to run it. [22:28] B1g0lCAQ sure [22:29] I'm an Ubuntu beginner, but been using linux for years, tho since it's a different distro...meh, I'm a newb. :p [22:29] what will be the .xxx for executable files in linux? like the .exe in windows? [22:29] dangsos: nothing === nicholas_ is now known as Tetracomm [22:29] okay and how do i intiate a command like to execute? [22:29] dangsos: in unix there is no extension to executable files [22:29] dangsos: executables in your path usually don't have an extension, though they can. extensions don't mean anything [22:30] dangsos: There isn't on.e [22:30] hi, I'm getting a blank screen after login, anyone got any ideas what i can do? [22:30] dangsos: Linux identifies files by magic [22:30] dangsos: just type the excutable file name [22:30] dangsos: simply type the name of the command. try 'kismet' [22:30] ok === Bilbo_Boy is now known as izinucs [22:30] dangsos: There's a "magic number" at the start of a file, which tells the kernel what interpreter to user. In addition, executables (binaries, scripts, or other) are given "execute" permission. man chmod [22:31] it appears to be the ati restricted drivers i installed that are causing issues with x, drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1 (No such device) [22:31] dangsos: You can check a file's type with the "file" command. "file /bin/bash" for example. [22:31] dangsos: "man file" for more information. [22:31] can i revert back to the standard display driver or what can i do to fix the ati one? [22:32] hello [22:32] ubuntu_nub: hi === dor is now known as SoapSeller [22:32] About installing to a flash drive.......... how do you boot from the flash drive if the computer has no USB boot? Can you make a CD that sends the computer to boot from USB? [22:32] ok idid [22:32] ubuntu_nub: hi [22:32] hi [22:33] finally i have ubuntu on [22:33] wolfwalker: That, or a boot floppy, or a bootloader on fixed disk that points to the USB partition. [22:33] :D [22:33] !yay [22:33] Glad you made it! :-) [22:33] karsten cd will be fine. How do you do it? [22:34] What is the correct configuration for static wep in wpa_supplicant ? I'm able to connect to the AP with ap_scan=1, but if I try ap_scan=2 the wpa_supplicant doesn't associate. [22:34] you might try installing ubuntu over a network, wolfwalker. [22:35] ubuntu_nub the purpose is to install to flash drive, and then get my computer (which does not boot from flash according to BIOS) to boot from the flash drive on startup. [22:35] I've tried various combinations of proto,group,pairwise values, but it never worked with ap_scan=2. [22:35] am I visible? [22:35] hi.. need help.. currently booting from usb on a comp with no cd.. i have a blank hdd that i want to make dos bootable.. how would i do that? [22:36] Yes izinucs [22:36] wolfwalker: thanks.. works in one channel in irssi and not in another.. same server. [22:37] karsten about that cd that sends the computer to boot from USB. How do you do that? [22:37] wolfwalker: Look up syslinux [22:38] Holy monkey poop on a stick, what in the world did you just get me into?!?! [22:38] wolfwalker: :) === DrunkY is now known as drnk-e [22:39] k... so i want to install window.. i have the iso on the usb and i extracted the files to the hdd.. how to i make the hdd bootable to run the windows setup? [22:39] is there a particular reason gparted skips sda2-4 when partitioning for an ubuntu install? [22:39] how do i know what application is using what port? or if a server is listening on a specific port? [22:39] pleaseHelp: this is an ubuntu channel.... [22:39] yea i am on ubuntu.. want to do this WITH ubuntu ;) [22:40] I'm trying to get cups-pdf to work on Intrepid. The PDF printer was installed, but no pdf file was created when using it, and I deleted and recreated it. There is still no output - I checked in ~/PDF, /root/PDF and under the directories in /var/spool/cups-pdf/. /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf contains Out ${HOME}/PDF. Google offers no joy. Any ideas? [22:40] why do my files open with gnome how do i switch to kde ? and im running kde [22:40] ubuntu_nub: it has to do with logical partitions [22:40] hey, are any of yall using ubuntu 8.1? [22:40] pleaseHelp: ...sigh. just burn the windows iso to cd.. [22:40] you mean 8.10? [22:40] wolfwalker: I'm googling ATM. [22:40] yea [22:40] many of us are [22:40] pleaseHelp Specifics please. How are you booting windows with Ubuntu? In Virtualbox? [22:40] but i have no cd drive in this comp :( [22:41] wolfwalker: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/15/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ [22:41] what is the difference between that one and 8.94? [22:41] pleaseHelp: then you would need to network install [22:41] ok i am booting ubuntu from usb.. have a blank hdd.. was able to partition and mount it [22:41] 8.04* [22:41] pleaseHelp If you can't burn a cd you might be out of luck. [22:41] pangloss: hm..yeah, my hd should be blank and formatted besides sda1, which is xp. [22:41] Depending on what you want to do [22:42] ubuntu_nub: you wont be able to install windows while running ubuntu from a USB stick [22:42] pangloss: how do i network install? [22:42] need help for my wireless [22:42] does it still do everything that the other version did [22:42] pleaseHelp: its going to get complicated. You cant just stick a cd drive in the comp? [22:42] hey guys, just installed ubuntu on my new Acer Aspire one. wondering if I have to install madwifi for wifi or if it does it out of the box (8.10) [22:42] and why is it supp. till 2010 but the older one is till 2011? [22:43] pangloss: nope it' [22:43] jarco: is it a LTS version? [22:43] i have atheros card. how can i make the wireless to work? [22:43] don't havea cd rom drive around === themill is now known as thudd [22:43] Yeah karsten I have read that. I used the installer in Ubuntu 8.04 though, just installed it straight and clean. But I want to be able to boot the flash drive on a computer that does not normally boot from USB. Is there a way to burn an iso cd that would kick the computer into booting from USB? === thudd is now known as themill [22:44] pangloss: ah, heh heh. I'm running from a livedisk. no flash drives here. my hard drive is blank besides an 8gb installation of XP. I was just wondering why when I'm setting up partitions in gparted it starts the new partitions at sda5. [22:44] wolfwalker: does the computer normally boot from cd? [22:44] is the some usb bootable distro that might allow me to create a virtual cdrom and then boot from that? [22:45] jgb the computer can be set to boot from cd first, or from internal hard drive, or from network. No USB boot options. [22:45] can anyone help me to setup a wireless connection? [22:45] I have a super-slow internet connection at work - and 8.4 on my laptop - I have an 8.10 disc - is there anyway to use the 8.10 disc to update from 8.4-8.10 ? [22:45] pleaseHelp, puppy [22:45] pleasehelp, try network boot. [22:45] Or puppy, yes. [22:45] jwormy: only if the disc is the alternate one [22:45] jwormy only if you have the alernate install cd [22:45] oui [22:45] whats puppy? (ok googeling) [22:45] hey guys i got a problem, my onboard NIC was crap and not really supported by Ubuntu, so I got myself an Intel/Pro 1000GT which should be supported out of the box, yet for some reason once I stuck it in it loads the driver from what I see, but still doesnt work [22:45] bummer ;) [22:45] pleaseHelp you could also install VirtualBox and run Winblows from in there. [22:46] ubuntu_nub: woops sorr that one wasnt for you. The reason gparted is skipping 2-4 is because logical partitions start at sda5 [22:46] wolfwalker: WRT syslinux: it's a bootloader, works for CDROMs, you'd go through some trix to create a bootable CD which would allow you to boot from various media, including, say, USB, HD, CD, and/or network. SYSLINUX is related to another boot tool called PXEBOOT, created by the same guy. [22:46] pleaseHelp, but i dont get the cirtual cdrom idea sorry :) [22:46] Serafeim-> what chip does your wifi have? [22:46] *virtual [22:46] jwormy, you could use the alternative cd install for update it [22:46] wolfwalker: if the bios doesn't support booting from USB, I doubt you'll be able to get USB booting going, but I might be wrong! [22:46] Yeah karsten I'm looking through there. A bit lost at the moment though. [22:46] pangloss: oh. ok, man, thanks for the info. I'll google a bit from here. [22:47] we've got a t1 here at the new office that we're sharing with a civil engineering firm.. super slowwwwww [22:47] wolfwalker jgb is right. if there is no usb boot option it means that it isnt suported by your BIOS and therefore wont work [22:47] hey b3z3rk3r, it didnt work [22:47] a bootable cd capable of transferring to usb would be pretty awesome. [22:47] I thought there was such a thing [22:48] it sounds like something that should exist. i'll look around a bit on that too. [22:49] jwormy: OC3 is the new T1 [22:49] Okay, I upgraded to Ibex and my mute button no longer works and Flash almost never works and to top it off if there is flash on a page 50% of the time it crashes firefox. This is something I really need to fix. [22:49] hmm.. I'm updating ssmtp in hardy (to the newest package in hardy-updates) and it's failing to update with this message: export: 44: #: bad variable name [22:49] karsten totally different category [22:49] ajonat: broken package? :/ [22:49] n8tuser: Kinda the point [22:49] Some one here that run World of warcraft using Wine? have some Ingame grafik problems i need help with. [22:50] has anybody used a Logitech MX Revolution mouse/keyboard with intrepid? I'm wondering if the LCD still works :) [22:50] karsten-> people reading that, i hope would not mis-interpret you [22:50] n8tuser: Tongue-in-cheek. [22:50] n8tuser: Point taken [22:50] https://launchpad.net/awn say's awn 0.2.6 is out.. why isn't ubuntu updating it ? [22:50] Omoikane That happens with me too, in 8.04. I think the official nonfree flash is broken. Maybe try gnash? [22:50] back. accidently closed terminal from which I had launched xchat [22:50] swaj, yes I do [22:50] what do you mean lcd? [22:51] ubuntu_nub: xchat & or 'nohup xchat &' should prevent that. [22:51] wolfwalker gnash? [22:51] I guess I don't have the keyboard [22:51] porter1: I have the MX revolution 5500 keyboard and mouse. The keyboard has an LCD screen on it that can be programmed to show weather, time, etc. [22:51] !appdb | spatman_ [22:51] spatman_: 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 [22:51] porter1: was curious to see if there was support for it in Ubuntu Intrepid [22:51] Oh [22:51] Omoikane Gnash is the unofficial flash player plugin. Not recommended unless the nonfree official flash does not work. [22:51] !gnash | Omoikane [22:51] Chousuke, maybe [22:51] Omoikane: An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [22:51] Hi. Does anyone know where I can find the logs from todays ubuntu-classrooom chat??? [22:51] thanks [22:52] swaj, knowing logitech, probably not [22:52] karsten: k k :D [22:52] hi, is there a CLI command to roll back any updates/upgrades I made recently? [22:52] Chousuke, I'm looking in ubuntuforums and launchapd for a bug report.. [22:52] edd nope, none [22:52] Omoikane, lokk at swf plugin [22:52] so can anyone help me please? [22:52] edd your recourse is to re-install fresh the older version [22:52] Anyone have any insight into why gparted doesn't see the correct number of GB on my hard drive? [22:52] I've been comtemplating moving to Ubuntu Intrepid as my main OS with a windows xp VM inside for certain applications. Seeing that Warcraft runs so well under Wine. Anyone have experience with VirtualBox under ubuntu? [22:53] Is Ubuntu getting slower? http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=13080 [22:53] hello [22:53] The partitioner on the install disk sees the correct number of GB but in gparted it's missing 20 GBs [22:53] how can I use older gcc? eg 3.4? [22:53] swaj: i use it to run windows for the occasional app that linux can't provide [22:53] I have a new program that might be useful. Where do I go to request Ubuntu packaging for it? [22:53] emma you have to account for all bad sectors and stuff the the HDs cut out, so if its a 160 gig HDD you usually see it at maybe 145 or something [22:53] emma maybe a hidden partition is checked? i dont know, look around in the settings [22:53] emma, be carefull Gb means 1000 or 1024 bites [22:53] mb [22:53] ok, I'm thinking of ways to partition for ubuntu and everything. 1 primary is XP, secound will be logical with /, /home, and swap. [22:54] dmitriyv: bad sectors? [22:54] emma yeah jdautz made a good point [22:54] Hi, all, any person has the problem went tried to send email from hotmail ubuntu 8.04 [22:54] ? [22:54] It's a 200 GB hard drive, the install disk sees all 200 GB but gparted says 184.5 [22:54] i may need to install vista and/or other distros of linux later on. [22:54] ubuntu_nub: i dont think / can go on a logical partition [22:54] ubuntu_nub: not sure though [22:54] howcome this: /usr/bin/screen -d -m -S umts -X "wvdial umts" leads to this: No screen session found. [22:54] try http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/925285.html for booting the contents of an ISO image with GRUB [22:55] pangloss: i'll look into it. [22:55] emma: that's because gparted measures GB in 1024 MB chunks, but the installer will show GB in 1000 MB chuks( the same way that hard drive manufacturers measure it) [22:55] emma: your hard drive is reporting the correct size in gparted. [22:55] can anyone help me figure out my NIC problem please? installed a new NIC and sudo lshw -C network shows it as disabled [22:55] Chousuke, the installation post-script didn't like the comments at the end of lines lol [22:55] heh :P [22:55] Arrow keys have stopped working in qemu (even remote instances of qemu being displayed on the local X server) since I upgraded to Ibex. Any ideas on what the issue could be? [22:56] wolfwalker it's still crashing... sigh. [22:56] n8tuser: thanks, i was afraid of that... np though, think I've found my problem [22:56] dmitriyv-> does it come up if you do sudo ifup eth0 ? [22:56] emma: if you check hard drive manufacturer websites, many times they will say on product, 1 GB = 1 billion bytes.... but in reality, 1 GB = 1.07 billion bytes (or 1024^3) [22:57] unknown interface [22:57] Some one here that run World of warcraft using Wine? have some Ingame grafik problems i need help with. [22:57] emma: check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte for more information [22:57] Flannel: can you ping me here? [22:57] Hi, does anyone know whether the sinowal trojan affects linux boxes? [22:57] it shows my onboard lan as unclaimed though but that one has major river issues, atl2 lol [22:57] id like the ubuntu last.fm app to display song titles on song change - much like Rhythmbox does. Unfortunatly there doesnt appear to be a way to trigger this behavior. can this be forced through libnotify? [22:57] thanks for help everyone. Laters [22:58] new one is intel pro so should have no problems and it autoloads e1000.ko to [22:58] i just need to figure out how to enable the new NIC [22:58] izinucs: nope :) [22:58] aar: according to http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-psw_w32_sinowal_cp.shtml, sinowal appears to only affect win32 systems.

[22:58] aar: np [22:58] Flannel: worked on irssi in this channel [22:59] i wanted to try dual head, but its presenting the login (gdm) on the VGA instead of the DVI port. is that an X issue or hardware? [23:00] anybody here using grub-efi? [23:00] How do I get windows driver (.inf)? [23:00] is there a way to copy the ubuntu install media to a thumb drive and boot from it instead of burning a disc? [23:01] hello [23:01] dmitriyv, $ifconfig eth0 up schould be fix your problem [23:01] Just now I started my computer and I couldn't connect because of some eth0:avahi been created [23:01] hi, i was wondering if anyone knew of an antenna that works with 802.11b and 802.11n? [23:01] swaj-> have you googled for how to do that yet? [23:01] what is that and how did it get there? [23:01] swaj this exact function is available on the 8.10 disc [23:02] How do I get windows driver (.inf)? [23:02] fiber-> same antenna [23:02] swaj: yes, there is a menu in system.>settings. look at it when you have booted the live cd on an other pc [23:02] hi i have a bit trouble with 8.10 on a usb stick i used the auto creater but if i start from usb i became the "could not find kernel image" error [23:02] Is it possible to deny access with PAM limits instead of just disconnecting the user that is trying to autheniticate? [23:02] barlekin> it says SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot asign requested address [23:02] zsquareplusc: is there a way to do it from Windows? [23:02] TheBase: ethn:avahi exist in all ubuntu boxes and afaik can not interfere with other connections [23:02] n8tuser: so, any antenna that works with 802.11b will work for 802.11n? i've been seeing antenna that are specific to different drafts [23:03] Baversjo_-> yeah PAM is the right place for that..i dont know the correct configs though off hand [23:03] how do i change fscks from every 24 boots to every 500 boots? [23:03] swaj: maybe. id run the cd in a virtual machine like virtualbox, but there may be more direct ways [23:03] fiber-> it will work [23:03] zsquareplusc: oh, good idea. I could probably just boot the CD from virtualbox and make the thumb drive that way. Thanks for the heads up. [23:03] pengo: man tune2fs [23:03] swaj you could use a VM in windows to boot the live disc but its a bit of a long winded way of doing it [23:03] erUSUL: thanks [23:03] how do i make ubuntu server listen on a certain port? [23:04] i just installed 8.10 and it's not installing my ati restricted driver correctly. when i boot up the machine, i can see an error message along the lines of "fglrx kernel install failed." how can i look up this exact error message? [23:04] hi all. how to reinatall flashplugin on intrepid? [23:04] anyone know which which vncviewer for windows works with Gnome's vino-server encryption? [23:04] Brucee-> is the server services that you configure to listen [23:04] Brucee: start a service of your choixe.. what do you want to do?

[23:06] Brucee-> what ever server services you are running, [23:06] irc server [23:06] Brucee-> zsquareplusc made it clear [23:07] but i dont see it when i do netstat [23:07] Brucee: then install a irc server package and configure it [23:07] zsquareplusc i did that already === BlueDevil|Busy1 is now known as BlueDevil|Busy [23:07] but when i do netstat, it dont show that application or port [23:07] yay i have my xubuntu working!

I've extracted ndiswrapper, but no .inf file :( [23:08] does anyone know how i can override the i815 chipset resolutions? i can run 1024x768 on windows xp but not xubuntu [23:09] mohdrafie: you need to get the windows drivers from your manufacturers website. the ndiswrapper does not have the drivers included. it uses the one you provide [23:09] mohdrafie-> you have to get it from the windows driver [23:09] hello everyone, I came from Windows, and with WIndows I write the letter 'ñ' just pressing Alt+164, here with ubuntu I can't, I have to go to Characters Map [23:09] Edgar: there is a tool in the application->addons menu [23:09] how can I set that I can write the letter 'ñ' in Ubuntu? [23:10] Edgar: and you can type a lot of special characters with alt+letter/alt-gr+letter etc [23:10] does anyone know how i can override the i815 chipset resolutions? i can run 1024x768 on windows xp but not xubuntu [23:11] >ironmedic 1024x768 is a cipset resolution it has to work [23:11] it does not show up in my resolution menu [23:11] i only have 640x480 and 800x600 only [23:11] ironmedic-> you need to edit xorg.conf and insert that resolution if it doesnt exist [23:11] well. I'm using ubuntu in spanish [23:11] do you use a tft or a crt ? [23:12] do you have the command line to input for it?

The first time after it is installed.. so x11 display on the screen properly.. which is good. i copied xorg.conf(before install nvidia driver). Then I did installed it and reboot. it gave the fatal server error: no screens found. so i try to return the xorg.conf to the original one, still the same fatal server error. Strange... it seem work fine on previous v [23:13] have you specify your monitor [23:13] Edgar: you could set it to english intl. with dead keys. then you can combine charcters that way [23:13] you shouldn't need to edit xorg.conf in Intrepid.... [23:13] was your monitor plugged in when you booted? [23:13] yes. [23:13] ironmedic-> modeline "1024x768@60" 65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -vsync -hsync but be careful of the freq, here its 65Hz on mine [23:14] ok let me look into this command [23:14] kaatil, is the "nvidia" driver listed in your xorg.conf? [23:14] ironmedic-> thats not a command, thats an entry in xorg.conf [23:14] was in the ff update oday something to ould have coused me to not being able to watch videos in it? [23:14] iconmedic, it's not a command, it's a line of text to put in your xorg.conf [23:15] jarco, maybe, if it broke the Flash plugin [23:15] it didnt i think [23:15] sudo nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf [23:15] youtube works ...

[23:16] hi i have a bit trouble with 8.10 on a usb stick i used the auto creater but if i start from usb i became the "could not find kernel image" error [23:16] im interested in setting up a flash drive so i can boot to linux off a windows pc. can anyone point me in the right direction? [23:17] and yes i restarted ff [23:17] kaatil, what kind of nvidia card do you have?

[23:18] n8tuser: thanks [23:18] usually when a new ubuntu comes out I'm able to upgrade via the update manager [23:18] doesn't seem to be the case with 8.10 [23:18] How do I extract files from the windows driver? [23:18] what number vrsion was feisty? like hardy is 8.10 so what was feisty? [23:18] did something change? [23:18] kaatil, the binary nVidia driver hasn't been updated to the new Xorg yet [23:18] LinuxKeitaro, update-manager -d from the terminal then you can upgrade [23:18] apropos, usb boot with the provided tool. i just got a crc error... hardware failure or failure to prepare the stick correctly? [23:18] mohdrafie-> cabextract if you dont have it, install the package [23:18] nvm guys i found it :D [23:18] really? meh [23:18] zsquareplusc: would that be the best way for me to run ubuntu with all my settings and mail without installing on a computer? [23:18] tj83_ is this a change from before? I dont' remember ever doing that [23:18] for 8600 gts, it is not updated? [23:18] yeah, nVidia is slow putting it out [23:19] didn close ff completely after updates [23:19] feh. [23:19] it was in the 8.10 release notes [23:19] Has anyone had ANY success with an ATI Radeon 9250? Seems like every time I try to install either the official ATI fglrx, or the included fglrx packages..it always slams me into the low graphics settings [23:19] LinuxKeitaro: you have to switch away from the LTS version [23:19] there was one running on desktop 3 [23:19] tj83 no one is answering lol [23:19] LinuxKeitaro, not sure... i have only run 8.04 and 8.10 === felix-da-catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [23:19] oh well [23:19] !upgrade | LinuxKeitaro [23:19] LinuxKeitaro: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [23:19] zsquareplusc I figured as muchI figured [23:19] how to revert xorg to old one? [23:19] I figured they'd be trying to keep people on LTS that want to [23:19] thanks [23:19] not sure how to rever xorg [23:20] mhmm [23:20] prince_jammys: remember me? [23:20] kaatil, under /etc/X11 do you have an xorg.conf.(something)? [23:20] LinuxKeitaro: actually http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading descibes it much better [23:20] brad1: how did it go? [23:20] not so well [23:20] brad1: complete destruction? [23:20] who is the master of ubottu factoids here? [23:20] kaatil, cd to /etc/X11/ then sudo cp the old file to the xorg.conf file. [23:20] well no ... just no improvement ... still getting the same errors no matter what i do [23:21] Has anyone had ANY success with an ATI Radeon 9250? Seems like every time I try to install either the official ATI fglrx, or the included fglrx packages..it always slams me into the low graphics settings [23:21] brad1: ah, too frustrating. [23:21] kaatil, remove the binary driver, and reboot, should get X back [23:21] is there an IRC program for ubuntu that will tile windows, so you can see multiple chat rooms at once? [23:21] hi [23:22] I'm using ubuntu 8.10 and noticed the new gnome-display-properties does not ask for a confirmation when you change resolution, how can you get that behavior back ? [23:22] ok mhall119 [23:22] i hope so. [23:22] brb [23:22] if not, run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:22] should get the default Xorg settings back [23:23] what I found odd about running dpkg-reconfigure, is it doesnt go through the monitor and card steps like it used to [23:23] hi [23:23] is there a IRC progrom similiar to mIRC that will allow you to tile chat windows, so you can watch more than 1 chat at a time? [23:23] just1primate, I think that's because the default configuration is no configuration, Xorg configures itself when it starts up [23:23] falconfox, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [23:23] falconfox: you only need to ask once [23:23] falconfox, I haven't used many of these, but maybe you can find one that does what you want [23:24] irssi ftw [23:24] can anyone help a new ubuntu user? === _shoot^ is now known as shoot^ [23:24] xchat, pidgin [23:24] depends [23:24] !ask B1g0lCAQ [23:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask b1g0lcaq [23:24] !ask|B1g0lCAQ [23:24] B1g0lCAQ: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:25] i installed from an ISO on a seperate parition from vista, but i cant select to boot from it [23:25] hi, I need a mininal install, than installed fluxbox. Whats the command to open it up from the console? [23:25] node357: ok, but that doesn't answer my question, i know that there are IRC programs for linux, i am asking which support tiling [23:25] tiling? [23:25] falconfox: he doesnt know.. try them out [23:25] Serte, the command to run Fluxbox? [23:25] Sertse: if you dont have a log in manager such as gdb/xdm, try startx [23:26] the first time i tried it worked fine [23:26] Having an issue with the savage display drivers [23:26] and i did nothing differently [23:26] My pidgin IM windows are no longer flashing when I receive a new IM. Does anyone know what caused this? Happened when I went from 8.04 to 8.10 [23:26] it keeps not being able to set my screen res and saying the vscan is too high, then saying there are no supported resolutions [23:26] What is a good virtual machine management system like VMWare for Ubuntu? I need to be able to run a few test enviroments on my desktop. [23:27] i use xchat, when not using pidgin [23:27] fallore, new default behavior just changes the pidgin icon, there is a setting to change it back [23:27] !ask i cant boot into ubuntu [23:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:27] quentusrex, virtualbox or qemu [23:27] quentusrex: i did not compare, but virtualbox runs fine here. vmware is available too as is qemu [23:28] mhall119: do you know where? === hubar is now known as hubar_AWAY [23:28] both are available in the Ubuntu repos, fallore [23:28] but I think the virtualbox in the repos is old [23:28] mhall119: you mix up threads ;-) [23:28] sorry [23:28] i guess no one knows what to do... [23:29] mhall119: ubuntu repos? [23:29] B1g0lCAQ, what's the problem? [23:29] Is there an Ubuntu package for PHP netbeans? [23:29] fallore, sorry, to change the pidgin blink, right-click the notification area icon, it's in the menu [23:29] B1g0lCAQ: is it booting windows? then you probably dont have grub installed. you need to install grub so that you can select between linux and windows [23:29] where do i get grub? [23:30] does it not come with ubuntu 8.10 [23:30] Kitchen. [23:30] B1g0lCAQ: your vista drive might have priority in the bios [23:30] B1g0lCAQ: it should, unless you told it not to install Grub during the install process [23:30] THANK YOU! mhall119 everything is perfect now [23:30] no problem fallore [23:30] mhall119 it seem didnt work [23:30] still same error [23:30] can anyone point me in the right direction to update mono to 1.9.1 or newer in ubuntu desktop x64 8.04? [23:30] NotADJ: http://packages.ubuntu.org is a nice package search engine. or you could search with synaptic ion system->settings menu, or apt-cache search [23:31] mhall119: it's weird, sometims when you say my name it doesn't notify me in IRC, but when it's at the beginning it does [23:31] kaatil, try a reboot, the driver may still be in use [23:31] zsquareplusc: :D [23:31] ok i did the install onto the partition, and it says restart [23:31] but it never goes to the part where its installing whats on the drive [23:31] hello [23:31] can someone type a sentence with my username? I'm testing a new irc program and I'd like to see what it does when I'm sent a message. [23:31] Hi quentusrex1! [23:31] quentusrex1: off topic ;-) [23:31] quentusrex1: [23:31] quentusrex1 [23:31] hi quentusrex1 [23:31] quentusrex1: #test [23:31] fallore, I have no idea about that, my local-alias isn't my irc nick, so mine may be different [23:31] Hahaha. [23:31] lol [23:31] thanks [23:31] i never had an option to get anything called GRUB [23:32] Was it exciting? [23:32] I've never used pidgen before. [23:32] mhall119: *shrug* i'll figure it out later [23:32] GRUB installs automatically as far as I'm aware. [23:32] B1g0lCAQ: does your machine boot directly into windows? [23:32] At least it did for me. [23:32] I've always used x-chat [23:32] pidgin rocks, but not so much for irc [23:32] yeah\ [23:32] B1g0lCAQ: it should install grub automatically at the en of the install procedure. or did you use wubi? [23:32] rebooting it at the moment [23:32] im not sure what wubi is [23:32] i installed it from an ISO within windows [23:33] with poweriso [23:33] B1g0lCAQ: an other install method. if you used the CD, then you did not use wubi [23:33] hm [23:33] B1g0lCAQ: when you boot you machine, what happens? [23:33] each time there is newe xorg.. nvidia have to fix it or what? [23:33] it goes straight into vista [23:33] no option [23:33] make me want to kick it hard. :( [23:33] hi there. Not long ago I removed pulseaudio, but I had to reinstall it soon enough [23:33] when i installed 8.04 the first time a few weeks ago it gave me an option [23:34] kaatil, did you apt-get remove the nvidia driver? [23:34] B1g0lCAQ: so you dont booted from the cd, you ran a programm on it? [23:34] vonderer: why? i was planning on doing the same. [23:34] after that sound became too quiet [23:34] im not sure i understand that. i installed it from an iso [23:35] i didnt burn a disk though [23:35] but when I open alsamixer, there is only pulseaudio mixer settings [23:35] i just used poweriso [23:35] B1g0lCAQ: did it look like that: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#wubi ? [23:35] how can I configure audiochannels to make sound louder? [23:35] hi [23:35] yah [23:36] B1g0lCAQ, you generally need a CD to install the system, someone correct me if I'm wrong [23:36] vonderer: do you seea loudspeeker symbol in the bar at the top of the screen? besides the clock usually [23:36] how can i install ubuntu 8.10 without losing my user settings? [23:36] vonderer: the gnome volume applet, loudspeaker near systemtray [23:36] node357: it sounds like he used a program to mount the ISO as a CD under windows [23:36] markelhas: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [23:36] markelhas: back up your home directory, and restore after [23:36] yeah mhall119, which only works until the system reboots [23:36] djiezes: zsquareplusc, thanks. so I have to load gnome-panel after all? :( [23:36] * vonderer is in FluxBox [23:37] vonderer: no, are you using kubuntu? [23:37] node357: but it would work long enough for Wubi to install it [23:37] ah [23:37] vonderer: no idea, but that's how i do it. [23:37] vonderer: maybe alsamixer [23:37] so firefox and nautilus are bugging out on me ..... [23:37] so i need to use a CD? [23:37] yep B1g0lCAQ, afraid so [23:37] I need help for my driver nvidia getforce 4400Ti [23:37] zsquareplusc: alsamixer shows only pulseaudio controls: one volume bar and one mic bar [23:37] B1g0lCAQ: if you installed using Wubi, it should have installed to a local file, no need for the CD anymore [23:38] nek1: nVidia hasn't put out new binaries for Intrepid [23:38] vonderer: you can teach it to display more controls and other devices. it should say something in the help [23:38] ok, so am i missing a set then? [23:38] Can someone point me in the right direction for automatically creating Ubuntu Virtual Machines as part of a Hudson Build process? [23:38] hi [23:38] B1g0lCAQ: if you went through the install process without errors, it should have added an entry into the Windows boot loader to let you boot into Ubuntu [23:39] hola [23:39] Vista may not be honoring that, I don't know if Wubi works well with Vista or not, I've only ever tried it on XP [23:39] what does "ubiquity"? === adam is now known as Guest13400 [23:39] ubiquity is the Ubuntu installer [23:39] mhall119, it works with Vista [23:39] in version 8.04 it is working now in 8.10 it not support [23:39] it went through with no errors, but i dont get to choose [23:39] thats why im here :/ [23:40] nek1: 8.10 comes with a new version of Xorg, nVidia hasn't released binary drivers for the new version of xOrg [23:40] firefox, and nautilus are bugging out on me, and my system monitor won't load to see what is making my CPU run at 99%, would a restart be a good idea? or could it possibly be bad? i'm working on a project and i can't lose my worked (i already saved, but just in case it corrupts) [23:40] B1g0lCAQ: Vista probably has a control panel or something to modify the boot loader, you'll have to find that I think [23:40] i just installed ubuntu and im having problems with the network connections. can someone help me get the wireless connection to work? [23:40] B1g0lCAQ: wubi runs ist as "windows application" so you'd find it in the start menu. if you booted the cd and used to normal installer. you'd reboot and get grub to choose what you boot [23:41] zsquareplusc: Wubi used the Windows boot loader, not grub [23:41] hi guys, i cannot get my resolution higher than 800x600 on my intel i815 laptop. windows xp runs 1024 for me no problem [23:41] * zsquareplusc has never actually tried wubi [23:41] i edited xorg.conf and it didnt work [23:41] i need an application that clears the RAM. [23:41] mhall119: Ok thanks [23:41] is apt-get build-dep equivalent to zypper si -d ? [23:41] ironmedic: google "useEDID", sounds like xOrg may not recognize your monitor's capabilities [23:41] zsquareplusc: got it, thanks. alsamixer -c 0 does the trick [23:41] Hello why i have this error when i want to install something .deb error: ( http://79.126.193.108/Screenshot.jpg ) [23:41] mhall119: hmm, I clicked away the "installin, plz wait" window to look what "extended" would offer, then I clicked "install" again (pII 350) and nothing seems to happen since 15 mins [23:41] mhall119: and you get a selection at boot time? not in the start menu? [23:42] i used wubi from an ISO [23:42] how to fix this .deb error ( http://79.126.193.108/Screenshot.jpg ) [23:42] zsquareplusc: yes [23:42] noksious: that means you don't have everything installed to install the package [23:42] noksious: also please only ask once every so often...if someone knows the answer, they'll answer you [23:42] Mias: sorry, what was your question again? [23:42] djiezes: Saying «why? i was planning on doing the same.» you meant you were going to uninstall pulseaudio? [23:42] jgoguen, i see i need to install libssl0.0.9.6 [23:42] how to install it ? [23:42] know anybody any application that clears RAM ? [23:42] ok sorry.. [23:43] VazdyK: define clear? [23:43] how to install libssl0.0.9.6 on linux ubuntu 7.10 plz help me :( ?

[23:44] i need an application that unload unneded libraries from RAM and defragment it [23:44] djiezes: there were two reasons I did it: first, ALSA hanged on shutdown and second, pulseaudio works separately for each user [23:44] noksious: then enter this command - sudo aptitude install libssl [23:44] Mias: I really don't know what you're asking, I'm trying to follow too many conversations [23:44] how do I recompile the kernal? [23:44] I dont see mke3fs in top but ubiquity + install + xorg use 100% cpu [23:44] B1g0lCAQ, why you dont make a Boot cd or a live usb stick ?
