[00:02] cs_student: If you installed Fluxbox or something (I use AfterStep) you *could* do "sudo apt-get distupgrade", once all the updating is done [00:02] !languager | nsabatino [00:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about languager [00:02] X4D-: are you running this on the linux box or the OSX one?

I am running a remote command through ssh on a server and need to change to sudo and want to pause the script and allow the password to be entered. [00:03] Okay, why is it when I boot 8.10 from cd it freezes at the first load screen (that bar translucent bar with an orange bar bouncing back and forth) but ONLY when I don't have quiet splash turned off? [00:03] There was an ubottu command for that, but I forgot what it was [00:03] DarkKnight: Which ubuntu version? [00:03] like this ssh -fCT user@server "sudo -i;" === hubar_AWAY is now known as hubar [00:03] jgoguen, i need xlobs now :| [00:03] mldnlght; hardy [00:03] mhall119: user1 and user2, they match on the server and in smbpasswd accounts [00:04] wolfwalker: sounds like it's crashing during mode changes [00:04] DarkKnight, If you run "gksu displayconfig-gtk" [00:04] DarkKnight, Can you change your resolution there? [00:04] X4D-: I have no idea then [00:04] m1dn1ght; hardy [00:04] mhall119 So the only thing to do is boot without splash and quiet every time? [00:04] @i installed 8.10 today and I cant get the network connections going. can anyone help me [00:04] X4D-, you have them both listed as valid users in smb.conf as able to view the share? [00:05] mhall119: thanks anyways for trying [00:05] \o/ [00:05] noksious: give me a second to look [00:05] wolfwalker: I had a similar issues with an imbedded geforece2 chipset, and it would hang at other times when changing resolutions [00:05] jgoguen, ok.. [00:05] wolfwalker: OK, with quiet splash on, try going to + + before the point of the crash [00:05] jgoguen, btw.. thank you for helping me bro [00:05] kylepike: yes, user1 has read & write while I've given only read to user2 [00:05] X4D, tail their smb log when they try and connect [00:05] noksious: try this command - sudo aptitude install xlibs-data [00:05] wolfwalker: It will give you information on what it's doing this way, then you can read any error messages that pop up [00:05] hey guts, i am trying to install ubunt for the first time on my notebook but i have problems can someone help me? [00:05] jgoguen, ok wait [00:06] DarkKnight: Did that command work? [00:06] noksious: no problem...these things can be frustrating [00:06] be_original: what's the problem? [00:06] be_original: State your problems, and someone who can solve them will help you out [00:06] be_original: tell us what probnlems you are encountering [00:06] ITT: mounting, I have been using startx to start me system and my other hard drives don't show up in /media how can I fix this? [00:06] kylepike: there's no problem in sharing with user1, everything mounts just perfect, ok I'll try looking at the log [00:06] Anyone know the best way to update ubuntu-studio to intrepid ibex without doing clean install? [00:06] *problems [00:06] X4D-, is it the users home dir? [00:06] im tring to install a ubuntu to run portably off of a flash drive, im stuck installing through the emulator, any advise [00:06] jgoguen, done installed sudo aptitude install xlibs-data but still have the same error :| [00:06] m1dn1ght; ya it worked...though i get many resolutions...i m unable 2 know which suits the best [00:06] fprintf, with synaptic or update-manager? [00:07] abe: For gnome, there was something you started for automounts, I rigged it to start in AfterStep. I can't remember it === abe is now known as name_name [00:07] opps [00:07] jdautz, I tried that on my laptop and it gave me all sorts of panic errors. I ended up reinstalling from scratch, I'd like to not repeat that with this desktop! :-) [00:07] like /usr/sbin/gnome-volume-manager or something [00:07] kylepike: no, it's a folder that has the owner as user1 and user2 belongs to the group I set up so it can read and write [00:07] yeah, the reason is don't start normal is it says "no resume image" [00:07] But it wasn't in sbin... [00:07] is weird [00:07] I haven't actually tried to connect to the home of user2 [00:08] DarkKnight: Depends on the size of your monitor. Is it a notebook or a normal PC? Probably just worth trial and error. [00:08] name_name: you want your drives to automount when you start up? [00:08] yup [00:08] I broke my openoffice dependencies or something -- how can I fix it? [00:08] fprintf, it's better to have --ubuntu-desktop installed [00:08] name_name: That should be a problem unless you were trying to get back from Hibernate... [00:08] m1dnlght; PC [00:08] i cant print anything to landscape PDF [00:08] X4D-, so user2 belongs to user1's group? and you ran chmod g+rw on that folder? [00:08] name_name: just add the corresponding entries in /etc/fstab [00:08] noksious: OK, let's see if aptitude can figure it all out from the Yahoo package...do you know where you saved the package? [00:08] always turns out landscap but on portrait [00:08] jgoguen, what package ? [00:08] jaggz-: Remove the broken packages and reinstall them [00:08] jgoguen, the ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb ? [00:08] jdautz, so use synaptic or apt-get to install ubuntu-desktop first, then do the upgrade? [00:08] noksious: right [00:08] when i load disc it starts booting and everything is ok until i clik 'install ubuntu' then it tries to load but in one moment the screen freezes and thats all, i must restart notebook [00:09] how do I know what's broken? [00:09] lol /etc/fstab only has my CD/DVD drives in it [00:09] jgoguen, on desktop [00:09] fprintf, ubuntustudio-desktop [00:09] DarkKnight Maybe 1280x1024? Like I said, it's a matter of preference [00:09] kylepike: user1 and user2 belong to group users which is the group of the share, which has 750 as the permissions [00:09] noksious: You can install that package with "dpkg -i /path/to/ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb" [00:09] how would I add them, it look complex [00:09] lavacano201014 when I ctrl alt F1 it starts up normally. I started it just as usual, with the splash screen and everything, but apparently the splash screen is the only thing that makes it hang. [00:09] lavacano201014, how u mean path to ? [00:09] wolfwalker: Hmm. Guess your splash screen data is messed up. [00:10] noksious: You say it's on the Desktop? [00:10] yes [00:10] If I take quiet splash out of the command, it boots fine. If I start normally and then ctrl alt F1 it boots fine. [00:10] give me example what to write.. [00:10] when i load disc it starts booting and everything is ok until i clik 'install ubuntu' then it tries to load but in one moment the screen freezes and thats all, i must restart notebook [00:10] i dunno what to write in path [00:10] lavacano201014 It only hangs on this one Gateway laptop though. [00:10] So then the path to would be /home/noksious/Desktop/ymessenger_etc_etc.deb [00:10] be_original: before you hit enter on "install ubuntu" try hitting F6 and adding the following to the string: noapic acpi=off === ballzee is now known as Sinister [00:10] jdautz, alright I will give that a try when I get the courage up! I spent 8 hours last friday reinstalling on my laptop, I hope not to repeat that process! [00:10] ok lets try [00:10] When I boot on any other computer it runs fine. Slow, but fine. [00:10] lavacano201014, error : dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege === FreddyGonzo is now known as minimec [00:10] wolfwalker: Could be the file is goofy only on that one Gateway, or your Gateway lacks some sort of power === Sinister is now known as Guest38806 [00:11] thabks man [00:11] noksious: Put "sudo" at the beginning of that command [00:11] ill try it [00:11] be_original: good luck [00:11] how I shot fstab??? [00:12] X4D-, pastebin that part of your smb.conf for that share. and do.... ls -al of that share... and cat /etc/group | grep thegroup_theyboth are in. [00:12] wait let me paste u [00:12] lavacano201014, look http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/68626/ [00:13] name_name: what is the partition name fo the drive you want to automount and what filesystem is it? [00:13] is there any way to run gnome, but to use fluxbox instead of metacity? [00:13] noksious: sudo aptitude install libgdk-pixbuf2 xlibs [00:13] noksious: Apparently the username was bad. Your nick here and your username on the computer are different. [00:14] noksious: Do what jgoguen said, then try again [00:14] * lavacano201014 will go away for a bit, meanwhile [00:14] @I installed 8.10 earlier today and I cant get the networking to funtion. can anyone help me get it working [00:14] jgoguen, done.. installed.. but the same error again.. :| [00:14] Sajuta: the prompt suggests his username is the same as his IRC nick [00:14] Dragon_CS: what is your wireless chipset?

[00:19] Dragon_CS: start the restricted driver manager/joackey and select th b43 driver [00:19] jgoguen, damn.. :| ok thx.. plz help me... [00:19] qpdb, yes [00:19] hey man, the string did not help.. [00:20] !xlibs | noksious [00:20] noksious: When a program or configure script asks for "X includes", you should probably install the following package: xorg-dev [00:20] DeviantSOP: http://pastebin.com/m6495768 [00:20] jdautz yes what? this was a question with "or" =) [00:20] qpdb, many os, one boot, one grub === Guest38806 is now known as Sinister [00:20] jdautz ok, thanks ;) [00:20] be_original: where exactly is it freezing? how far along are you getting? [00:20] noksious: try this - sudo aptitude install xorg-dev [00:21] /join ##electronics === Sinister is now known as Guest7891 [00:21] DeviantSOP: btw before I had to start the system with startx all the mounts worked fine [00:21] jgoguen, done installed [00:21] m1dnight; any idea how to restore the system [00:21] name_name: try sudo fdisk -l [00:21] jgoguen, damn the same error :| need xlibs === brantlymedders is now known as Brantly === Brantly is now known as BrantlyM [00:21] it stops after i hit 'install ubuntu' when the loading bar is going left and right :D, i really dont know how to explain it on english better:D [00:21] name_name: try sudo fdisk -l and paste the output [00:22] DarkKnight: boot into safe mode and reconfigure the x server? [00:22] Anybody know how to resolve this compiler issue (which came up when I updated my Ubuntu): /usr/include/boost/gil/algorithm.hpp:108: error: ‘bad_cast’ is not a member of ‘std’ [00:22] Anyone have any experience of using the nvidia 8400gs under ubuntu? [00:22] be_original: I would suggest trying the alternative install cd. [00:22] hi [00:22] kylepike: http://pastebin.com/d1d12292a here's the info you asked for [00:22] you think alternative as older version or? [00:23] m1dn1ght; i m a newbie 2 linux...do i boot to safe mode and how do i configure xserver [00:23] i'm having issues with a RTL8180L wireless card since my upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 [00:23] no driver seems to be loaded for the card and i can't find which driver it is [00:23] Something seems to be wrong with my partition. I reinstalled xubuntu and used a separate partition for /home, but despite there being enough space (there should be 15GB available - 46GB volume, 30GB used), it only displays 2.6MB free. Is my partition corrupt? [00:23] google yields some hits but they lead to the forum, which is down for maintenance [00:23] and i can't find the post where the answer is supposedly: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3675545* [00:23] DarkKnight: When you start the boot, does it give you a countdown and the opportunity to press escape to enter grub menu? [00:23] jgoguen, here ? [00:24] so the upgrade to 8.10 didn't go so well. it aborted. I'm afraid to reboot because it said my system might be unstable....what should I do? [00:24] Can you get vmware server from add remove apps? [00:24] DeviantSOP: new pastebin http://pastebin.com/m1dcee0e1 [00:24] m1dn1ght; ya === Guest66012 is now known as parth [00:24] kylepike: I was just thinking... shouldn't the list of users appear in pdbedit -Lw since I'm using tdbsam backend? becuase I just tried it and there's none although I can log in using the user1 account [00:24] noksious: it looks like the xlibs package got changed to a package called 'xlibs-dev', which means Yahoo Messenger probably won't realize that you have it installed, even though you probably have exactly what it wants [00:24] DarkKnight: Press esc, go into grub. the second item down should be safe mode. it will boot and once it get's further a long it will put you in a menu where one of the options will be to reconfigure the x server - should be an automatic process from there. [00:24] m1dn1ght; i wanted 2 restore my system back 2 some particular time....will that be possible === parth is now known as Guest88444 [00:25] DarkKnight: Oh - sorry - thought you were talking about restoring your screen resolution [00:25] jgoguen, .. damn what to do now ? [00:25] DeviantSOP: new pastebin http://pastebin.com/m1dcee0e1 [00:25] kylepike: also I removed libpam-smbpass because it was causing some issues where it would change the passwords at restart to the server account passwords [00:25] DarkKnight: Yeah - that's a whole different kettle of fish. Did you create a backup to restore from? [00:25] jpastore, did you try running the upgrade again? [00:25] and can you tell me which version is older than 8.1? sorry 4 beeing boring :D [00:25] does compiz have a crash log? === Guest88444 is now known as punter [00:25] m1dn1ght; no... === punter is now known as parth [00:25] noksious: I'll look a little more, but supposedly Kopete works and might support microphone and webcam...I don't know for sure, but Google thinks so [00:25] billybigrigger, yes [00:25] sysdoc, yes...it says my system is up to date. [00:25] be_original: the alternative cd can sometimes work better on less compatible hardware [00:25] hi guys, i tried to get my resolution above 800 but nothing is working? i tried to edit the xorg.conf file but it didnt work. i even added useedid and it didnt work right. [00:26] name_name: so you want to mount all the drives, right? === parth is now known as Guest40481 [00:26] yup [00:26] hey, I've just put 8.10 on a persistent thumb drive. how can i remove the automatic login of the 'Ubuntu LiveUser'? [00:26] ironmedic: which version of ubuntu? === Guest40481 is now known as p [00:26] ubuntusistas === p is now known as parthbakshi [00:26] intrepid [00:26] hi guys ... yesterday i ran fsck and blindly answered yes to every question ... since then when i boot i get a million errors saying: "read-only file system" ... any ideas? [00:26] jpastore, u maybe ok mine did the same thing. I just had to install the NV driver afterwards through hardware drivers [00:26] intel i815 and intrepid [00:26] DarkKnight: Then I'm not sure how you'd restore. What are you hoping to recover? [00:27] DeviantSOP: what's seems to be the trouble with my setup? [00:27] sysdoc, I have the nvidia drivers so I can recompile for the new kernel if need be [00:27] sysdoc, I'll give it a reboot and see what happens [00:27] jgoguen, ok thx [00:27] ubuntu rock! [00:27] is there any way to find out why a compiz crash is happening? can i view the compiz crash log somewhere? [00:28] jpastore, system>Admin>Hardware drivers [00:28] jpastore just left before you say that, Sysdoc [00:29] kaatil, yea I saw that [00:29] i ran UseEdid and i restarted. it asked me to reconfig the video and i did it. then i restarted again. i checked the resolutions and it didnt change. i ran puppy linux and it accepted my 1024 resolution [00:29] he;ll be back [00:29] Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to use unrar for this - I have a group of RAR files (split archive). How can I merge these and uncompress? Will Nautilus be able to do that somehow? [00:29] noksious: I found a possible solution, but reviews are mixed about how well it works, and no one says whether or not webcam or microphone works. Do you want to try anyway? === woody86_ is now known as woody86 [00:29] does the desktop cube need a nvidia graphics card or will it still work on inbuilt intel gma graphics card [00:29] jgoguen, yes [00:29] m1dn1ght; i installed kde...but then i was unable 2 login as root.....so i uninstalled kde.....nd with it i dunno wat else got uninstalled....my screen resolution changed... [00:30] DarkKnight, why do you need to login as root? Why not use sudo? === Guest7891 is now known as Sinister [00:30] DarkKnight: were you unable to set a better resolution using displayconfig-gtk? if you just uninstalled kubuntu-desktop nothing important should have been removed. [00:30] I just fail to understand this constant obsession about loggin in as root [00:30] seem popular. === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin === Sinister is now known as Guest96079 [00:31] maybe i should root in the universe and do rm *. bad idea. [00:31] cars_, m1dn1ght; i just started using root....and all my important files are in my root account [00:31] name_name: sudo cat /etc/fstab and paste [00:31] logging in as root...bad idea. [00:31] I have a question: If I install Ubuntu in a less than 2Gig partition will I only have what's left over to install programs? [00:31] i think you can do chgrp the import files to other group [00:31] DarkKnight, So copy them to a non-root account. [00:31] sudo get me a sandwich [00:31] jgoguen, dude lets go come on [00:31] noksious: OK, run this command to open your sources.list: sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list [00:31] so it can be accessable to your user. [00:31] is it bad 2 start an upgrade, but then stop n the middle of it 2 do it some other time? [00:31] rusell_ :depends [00:32] and ? [00:32] jgoguen, i'm in and ? [00:32] m1dn1ght; not only kubuntu-desktop...but also kde..... [00:32] Johnny_5: Did it start installing? or just downloading packages? [00:32] right now its just gettin' new packages [00:32] what the f is elf class? [00:32] hmmm, seems the upgrade made my FRESH linux install fubar. [00:32] is vmware not in the repos?

[00:33] my friend told me something i just could not believe, he told me that if i wanted wine to work with any windows app, i should create a dual boot installation with windows and connect it to wine somehow? is there any truth to this? sounds crazy [00:33] DarkKnight: You couldn't log in as root, but you can log in as a regular user, yes? [00:33] partbakshi: depends on what? [00:33] because ubuntu needs some space to store the log files etc which can be cleaned however yes whatever space remaing after u install ubuntu is where u can install prgms [00:33] brad1: hey here I am if you want to tell me what the trouble is? [00:33] Unibob|laptop: nice one [00:33] DarkKnight, Can you log in at a terminal (ctrl+alt+F2) [00:33] jgoguen, and ? [00:34] Flannel; yes [00:34] DarkKnight: right, so log in as a regular user, and use sudo to copy the files. [00:34] herenbdy-> qt4.4 there is, but you have to compile it yourself, can take few hours [00:34] noksious: Push the 'o' key and paste this line there: [00:34] deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt gutsy main [00:34] ok, something is wrong [00:34] guestguestnew: he may be talking about copying over DLLs from an actual windows install [00:34] When I start up Ubuntu 8.10 there is no icon for my windows partition (which contains my music) on my desktop. When I open Rhythmbox none of the music loaded from my last session from that partition exists. To get the music to play I have to remove everything and import it again, and then the icon shows up on the desktop. Does anyone know how I can make sure it carries over when i reboot? [00:34] instead of using the Wine created DLLs [00:34] noksious: then push Escape, then :wq, then push Enter [00:34] Repos and vmware, anyone?? [00:35] jgoguen: in the future, recommend nano, or if you're appending, just append. [00:35] so in case u run out of space os might give an error thats what happened wid me [00:35] fallore: mount the partition from boot-up [00:35] herenbdy: but that still won't make it fully compatible to everything right? [00:35] can someone checkout the output from aplay http://pastebin.ca/1247403 i upgraded to 8.10 had everything working but now sound has stopped it did work a few reboots ago [00:35] Paddy_EIRE: how do i do that? [00:35] !ntfs | fallore [00:35] fallore: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [00:35] Where can I find the file for applications menu under GNOME? [00:35] jgoguen, done [00:35] parthbakshi: ok, [00:35] and ? [00:35] n8tuser: I know I can compile it myself, but there's no package that contains the src? I just want to look at it [00:35] Something seems to be wrong with my partition. I reinstalled ubuntu and used a separate partition for /home, but despite there being enough space (there should be 15GB available - 46GB volume, 30GB used), it only displays 2.6MB free. How can I go about finding this space, and figuring out if my partition is corrupt? [00:35] fallore: it in that wiki page [00:35] DeviantSOP: here ya go http://pastebin.com/m6eeb8398 , those are the only ones listed in /media where the mount points go. [00:35] herenbdy-> you have to download the tarball [00:35] herenbdy: if that were the case, then the developers of wine would have made their own solution by now [00:35] ok, tried to upgrade, upgrade had numerous failed to install or upgrade messages, and now I get a blank screen after the splash screen [00:35] deeperror, that is probably pulse audio, install alsa [00:35] Paddy_EIRE: basically when i boot nw i get a million errors about my file system being read-only .. [00:36] noksious: you're back at the prompt now? [00:36] brad1: nw? [00:36] Where can I find the file for applications menu under GNOME/metacity? [00:36] Paddy_EIRE: sorry? [00:36] brad1: what does nw mean? [00:36] jgoguen, yes [00:36] Hi. I just installed Mathematica 6.0, but when trying to start it, my X crashes every time. The same happens when I try starting skype. I'm running 8.04 with a server install that had X and other stuff added later. [00:36] Any idea what's wrong? [00:36] noksious: now this command: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install wine [00:36] guestguestnew: I beleive the developers of wine want to re-implement the windows dlls, not copy them, might be some legal issues with copying them [00:36] x not configured properly [00:37] Paddy_EIRE: will that fourth method listed on that page work for me on 8.10? [00:37] Paddy_EIRE: sorry, now* [00:37] sysdoc, i just did a full uninstall of alsa with this............... sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils then reinstalled/rebooted still no joy [00:37] otherwise that would be easy I'd guess [00:37] fallore: yes it certainly will :) [00:37] herenbdy: i see [00:37] Can I use gparted to shrink my vista partition? [00:37] parthbakshi: X works great... even stuff like Unreal Tournament and Freespace 2 run just fine [00:37] fallore: its pretty simple dont panic [00:37] :) [00:37] guestguestnew: but you can copy over DLLS from a windows install to use in WINE if you want [00:37] Paddy_EIRE: yesterday i ran fsck and blindly answered yes to every question ... since then when i boot i get a million errors saying: "read-only file system" [00:37] then some issues wid mathematica [00:37] brad1: ah [00:37] hmm [00:37] guestguestnew: but wine doesn't come packaged with microsoft-made DLLs [00:37] try running mathematica from the terminal [00:37] is there a compiz crash handler in ubuntu? [00:38] parthbakshi: I always do that =P [00:38] sysdoc, also installed alsa-oss [00:38] Where can I find the file for applications menu under GNOME/metacity? [00:38] brad1: without knowing what you said yes to I cannot be sure what you did [00:38] so whats the error [00:38] jgoguen, done i have installed udo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install wine [00:38] "Qt-subapplication: Fatal IO error: client killed" [00:38] brad1: it makes it difficult to retrace your steps [00:38] herenbdy: i guess it would be better if i didn't. i don't really rely on windows apps anymore these days [00:38] Paddy_EIRE: mmmm yer [00:38] and [00:38] do u have kde or gnome [00:39] brad1: I would reinstall if it where me and such a thing happened [00:39] Neither [00:39] noksious: now, download the Windows version of Yahoo Messenger [00:39] jgoguen, can u give me a link plz? [00:39] hmm [00:39] do u have the qt libraries needed [00:39] ? [00:39] Paddy_EIRE: i think i got it :] thank you [00:39] Yes, I do [00:39] brad1: I would also question the health of your HDD just to zero that one out [00:39] fallore: cool :) [00:39] in fstab it said for the drive: "rw, error=ro" which i figure means when theres an error it boots read-only .... i really dont want to reinstall if i dont have to [00:39] sysdoc, is it normal to have 2 devices there? the subdevice? [00:40] At least ldd skype doesn't tell me about any missing libs. Can't find the actual executable of Mathematica. === drnk-e is now known as DRNK-E [00:40] Paddy_EIRE: well i run fsck from this livecd on the drive and it seems fine :/ does that mean nething [00:40] ? [00:40] noksious: http://rd.software.yahoo.com/msgr/9/msgr9us.exe [00:40] jgoguen, ok wait i'm installing now [00:40] brad1: hmm.. now that is a bit more interesting [00:40] so used the source files and compiled mathematica [00:40] i hope will works this time [00:41] brad1: although I think the livecd does the check in read-only mode [00:41] parthbakshi: Mathematica is proprietary. [00:41] hello! [00:41] Paddy_EIRE: naa i made sure it was rw [00:41] brad1: so it would probably not be very informative [00:41] brad1: oh.. hmm [00:41] my policykit is messed up --> http://gourgi.pastebin.com/d5e81dbb1 [00:41] Paddy_EIRE: i will check again to make sure but yer [00:41] anyone can help? [00:41] did u look into the mathematica forum [00:42] roflzorz [00:42] one quick question [00:42] deeperror, aby normal u betcha [00:42] can't start x seems to be my issue now [00:43] in rc.conf, i have two entries for eth0 and wlan0, but since i'm not using eth0 most of the time (i'm on laptop, so i prefer wireless connection) i dont want my laptop to load up eth0 interface [00:43] does ubuntu have good (subjective i know) support for dual monitors? [00:43] sysdoc, how would one remove the extra? [00:43] how would I repair the install? [00:43] but everytime i boot up, it tries to load eth0 and says it failed (obviously, since my lan cable isn't hooked up to my laptop) [00:43] how do i fix a corrputed fat filesystem from linux? [00:44] Paddy_EIRE: how can i make sure im mounting it rw? [00:44] my flash drive got mixed up from being unplugged without being demounted [00:44] bluejay|T61 .. edit /etc/network/interfaces .. remove the line "auto eth0" [00:44] is there any way to make my laptop connect to wired connection ONLY when my lan cable is connected? [00:44] fallore, It was working fine in 2005 when I tried it last. [00:44] parthbakshi: Not the forum, but I've been googling for a while. The forum's search is horrible. [00:44] anyone available to help me with my screen resolution problem? [00:44] qpdb: oh ! thanks [00:44] deeperror, system>prefs>Multimedia systems seloctor [00:44] how do you check for/repair errors, like you would if windows booted from it? [00:44] qpdb: so that's where all the automatic loading is configured! [00:44] selector sorry [00:45] sysdoc, ahh i don't seem to have multimedia systems selector available? === shiki9_ is now known as shiki9 [00:45] i would surf the ubuntu forums for my answers but the forums are down [00:45] deeperror, rt clk system>edit menus [00:45] turn it on [00:45] fallore: yes although that is not the correct question to ask [00:45] does anybody know of a music converter? [00:46] fallore: ask whether or not your card has proper driver support [00:46] sysdoc, ok got it checking this out here [00:46] qpdb: sorry to bother you again, but the given directory doesn't exist [00:46] i'm using arch linux btw [00:46] OK for the last time, vmware-server is it in the repos (default that is) or do I need to add a repo?? What gives [00:47] ? [00:47] Hi. Anyone using an aluminum mac keyboard with Ibex? I'm having a lot of keyboard issues that I didn't have with heron and wondered what settings were ideal. (Going for a typical PC layout with this keyboard rather than a Mac-style command key layout). Can't seem to find any web resources on this, probably me. :) [00:47] hi, is there any reason why the latest generic kernel is 2.6.27-7 while the latest rt is 2.6.27-3? [00:47] bluejay|T61: You should ask in the arch channels then. This channel is for Ubuntu support. [00:47] deeperror, cool good luck, btw, I wouldn't worry about removing the pulse just select alsa and move on [00:47] bluejay|T61, ok, seems things are different in archlinux, maybe you should try #archlinux ;) [00:47] jgoguen, dude it says error: Messenger connection problem...check the connection.. but i have connection... [00:48] jgoguen, i can't login on the yahoo [00:48] :| [00:48] hey i m back.....ppl guys who were talking 2 me b4....i got things right back as before [00:48] thanks buds [00:48] modpauper: i had keyboard issues too, but those resulted from a bad .Xmodmap file [00:48] apo_ :needs to be looked into i havent used mathematica so i have no idea where the issue is ,however since x runs properly issue is with qt/graphical librarys needed [00:48] well of course i went on #archlinux, but it wouldn't let me type anything in the channel :( [00:48] I'm using 8.10 and am having troubles with my new /home partition. I reinstalled Ubuntu to make more room and used a separate partition for /home, but but now it's only reporting 2.5MB free (there should be 15GB available - 46GB volume, 30GB used). I did not format it, since I had existing files I wanted to keep. How can I go about finding this space, and figuring out if my partition is corrupt? [00:48] apo_:which wm are u using [00:48] well, I guess I am going to wipe the partition, download the latest distro and do another fresh install, I don't think this one can be fixed [00:48] parthbakshi: dwm. [00:49] parthbakshi: But it seems to be a problem of my wacom tablet. [00:49] it never happened in any other channel at freenode, and i know little about freenode's account/nick management system ;( [00:49] cars__: in a command prompt type "df" and have a look at the usage of the partitions [00:49] sysdoc: I had to download vmware-server. [00:49] Where can I find the file for applications menu under GNOME/metacity? [00:49] apo_:ohh you are using wacom?? [00:49] parthbakshi: Yep [00:49] I'm trying to locate the php executable. I know that php is installed, but /usr/local/bin or /bin contain it... [00:49] !register > bluejay|T61 [00:49] bluejay|T61, please see my private message [00:49] modpauper, from the vmware site?? [00:49] apo_:interesting [00:49] cars__: "du -h" if youre searching for the folders that are big. there is also a gui tool in the application->addons menu [00:49] sysdoc: Yeah, because the download required a serial number and registration. [00:50] hubar: To do what with it? === Cream is now known as Cream|Gone [00:50] modpauper, U used ver 2? [00:50] nor /usr/bin [00:50] !away > Cream|Gone [00:50] Flannel: edit, of course [00:50] Cream|Gone, please see my private message === bluejay|T61 is now known as bluejay|t61 [00:50] sysdoc: Also, if you're using Ibex, I believe you need to update to the latest vmware-server release [00:50] hubar: Right click and hit "edit" [00:50] Flannel: no that won't work. [00:50] I'm trying to locate the php executable. I know that php is installed, but /usr/local/bin or /bin do not contain it... [00:50] sysdoc: Yeah, 2. [00:50] Flannel: there is an entry that is shown in my appmenu. [00:50] CaptainMorgan: `which php` [00:51] modpauper, using this tut http://www.squidoo.com/use-existing-windows-installation-and-apps-in-ubuntu [00:51] CaptainMorgan: why are you installing from source? why not install from the repos? [00:51] Flannel: But it isn't showing up in edit menu. [00:51] argh complete reinstall of ubuntu *cries into pillow* [00:51] sysdoc, here is something that may be interesting i have 2 identical tops and they show different output on lspci perhaps this may give more info as to why its not working http://pastebin.ca/1247411 [00:51] zsquareplusc: Any idea what changed with xmodmap in Ibex? I had to dump my old config file and don't know what the difference is. [00:51] * mosno buys brad1 and ubuntu-styled pillowcase [00:51] Question.. Ubuntu 8.10, ya know where ya click on your name at the top and can change your pidgin status? is there any way to disable that so that's not an option anymore? [00:52] jgoguen, i can't login on the yahoo [00:52] modpauper: no idea. i had to remove my file. it was doing weird stuff with the old one, like cursor up = print screen... [00:52] PCJunkie.. i was asking this the whole day [00:52] mosno: u legend lol [00:52] Flannel: Any ideas? solutions? :) [00:52] zsquareplusc: did you build a new file? [00:53] PCJunkie: did't got any answer yet, but i also asked in pidgin channel.. they told me its not a pidgin feature, its ubuntu ;) [00:53] modpauper: nah, just remove. the defaults w/o any file are fine for a normal keybaord [00:53] sysdoc: Are you trying to boot an existing windows partition with vmware from within ubuntu, or create a new windows virtual machine from within ubuntu? [00:53] modpauper: actually i renamed it and logged in again [00:53] modpauper, yea existing Xp [00:53] parthbakshi: I commented out the parts in my Xorg.conf referring to the wacom stuff and restarted X. works now ^_^ [00:53] zsquareplusc: Do you just l ive with the command/alt key switch? [00:54] qpdb, yea i remember clicking update to have that feature enabled, but i decided i'm not so crazy about it [00:54] hubar: Try gconf I guess. Also, check... whatever folder apps put .desktop files into, /usr/share/ something [00:54] I don't wanna jump through the hoops of a new install...:) [00:54] hi, is there any reason why the latest generic kernel is 2.6.27-7 while the latest rt is 2.6.27-3? === Skyler_Dawson is now known as foxwoods === fernando_ is now known as azendal [00:54] apo_: great [00:54] i just installed ubuntu server 8.10 64 bit. i tried to activate ati restricted drivers. now when i reboot it defaults to safe graphics mode and i can see a boot error about fglrx kernel installer failing. how can i find out the exact text of this error...its not in dmesg [00:54] Hello everyone [00:54] I'm trying to get a wireless card to work, compiled the latest ndiswrapper, and my device is recognized [00:54] modpauper: i have a standard pc keyboard. i was just thinking that a faulty .Xmodmap could be your problem too [00:54] it has connected to a network once [00:55] but it is failing to connect now [00:55] myvo: Could be visible in + + 's terminals [00:55] from /var/log/syslog [00:55] Flannel;....wat is the harm i we login as root in graphical mode and use it always [00:55] "get_secrets_cb(): Couldn't get connection secrets: Requested setting is empty" [00:55] Does anyone have any guess? [00:55] I have a Question! is there any way i can "save" the state of my ubuntu install [00:55] noksious: what's the error you're getting [00:55] and then when installing another ubuntu, install the same packages? [00:56] DarkKnight: Don't login as root. That's extremely dangerous as its much easier to make a mistake and delete your OS, etc. [00:56] DarkKnight: you can do a lot of damage to the system. Making you use sudo forces you to stop and think about what you're doing [00:56] zsquareplusc, sorcererbob, It's getting worse. Now it's reporting 0B free. Using the commands, I don't see anything that should be taking up all this space. df reports that the total size is correct. [00:56] anyone know of a good guide to installing ubuntu with our /home and root partitions separate? [00:56] sysdoc: In beta, vm server 2 didn't support booting from an existing partition, if my memory is right. So you'll find that older tutorials mention that ability when in server 2 (beta -- I haven't tried the latest release -- notes are online at: http://www.vmware.com/support/server2/doc/releasenotes_vmserver2.html) [00:56] anyone good with sound care to check this out http://pastebin.ca/1247411 i have 2 identical laptops one has sound the other doesn't [00:56] reduz: You want to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 [00:56] your* [00:56] DarkKnight: its the path to hell, like tojans and worms. if you dont belive it, look how windoze works ;-) [00:56] lavacano201014, i just want to move ubuntu from hd to hd [00:56] jgoguen, i cant write the password :| [00:56] reduz: the word you are looking for is system backup? [00:56] reduz: Then I have no idea. [00:56] noksious: I have no idea then...I'm sorry :( [00:56] jgoguen, dude plz find me 1 messenger for webcam and microphone plz ! [00:56] :| [00:57] qpdb, i'm not sure, i just want to keep using the computer i was using as always, except on another disk [00:57] sysdoc: What I meant was, the tutorials show the option to boot from an existing partition, but in server 2 beta the option didn't exist. I'd check the release notes, download 2 from vmware's site, install it and find out for yourself [00:57] zsquareplus; i didnt get u?? [00:57] noksious: the only other thing I could suggest is to try Kopete [00:57] cars__: some application seems to freak out and fill your disk.. you might play with "ps ax" and/or "lsof" [00:57] noksious: Why do you need webcam support anyway? [00:57] zsquareplusc: Ah, cool. Thanks for the input. [00:57] modpauper, u rock dewd!! thanks [00:57] zsquareplus; viruses r very much ineffective in linux [00:57] qpdb, back in the old debian days i could just copy everything, then run debian rescue, open an installer shell, chrooting and running lilo [00:57] DarkKnight: my comment was about working as root :-) [00:57] anyone know hte "get_secretes_cb: Couldn't get connection secrets:Requested setting is empty" error? [00:57] qpdb, maybe i can somehow do the same in ubuntu [00:57] sysdoc: No problem. Good luck. :) [00:58] modpauper, funny azzed nick too, lol [00:58] Thx dewd [00:58] DarkKnight: they are only ineffective because they do not have root access [00:58] lavacano201014, to see my father.. he works in iraq === Cream|Gone is now known as Cream [00:58] noksious: Oh. I see. [00:58] DarkKnight: and are usually not designed for linux since only masochists use it :) [00:58] any advantage of formatting a flash drive as ext3? [00:58] DarkKnight: foxwoods is correct. Windows viruses can propogate easily because they have administrative access to the system [00:58] im thinking maybe its more strudy filesystem to prevent data loss [00:58] jgoguen, on kopete can't have microphone i tried there [00:59] AussieGuy_: Windows users won't be able to know what the heck it is. [00:59] Sorcererbob, true [00:59] noksious: oh...sorry, I have no idea :( [00:59] I don't know if this is an advantage for you or not. [00:59] I have 2 computers, their both linux [00:59] noksious: I'm out of ideas [00:59] reduz, you can easily move your whole system.. boot a live cd, mount old and new root partition.. and do "cp -avx /mnt/oldroot/* /mnt/newroot/" .. then make sure to correct fstab, menu.lst, etc. [00:59] lavacano201014 when i did ctrl alt f1, the machine froze and i just came back from a hard reboot [00:59] dont really use windows [00:59] anyone here know wireless on 8.10? [00:59] Flannel, what did i do? [00:59] lavacano201014, do u .. know some other messenger where i can use webcam and microphone ? [00:59] myvo: Now that's really odd [00:59] but FAt has failed me a couple of times on the flash drive [00:59] jgoguen, its okay thank you alots for helping me this 1 hour [00:59] sysdoc, so it rebooted ok. had to enable the restricted driver for nvidia...but everything in evolution is showing up as if there is no spell check dictionary and it's trying to spell check. everything is underlined...is there a package I need to reinstall [00:59] Cream: Don't use public away messages (see the stuff ubottu sent you) [00:59] i did get a better look at the error message and it shows: DKMS auto installation for kernel 2.6.27-7server fglrx 8.something failed [00:59] noksious: No. I don't need it, personally, so I use Pidgin, which doesn't support it [00:59] any idea which digital pen works best with ubuntu 8.04 [01:00] Sorcerebob, foxwoods, zsquareplusc, Flannel: thanxx...i leaned something important.....thanxx guys.....guess u all r hardcore geeks!!! [01:00] noksious: You could, _maybe_ try Miranda IM [01:00] lavacano201014, whats Miranda ? [01:00] noksious: Another multimessenger program, it may have webcam support, I don't know [01:00] how can i mount a partition as root from a live cd? [01:00] I might make a little 200mb fat partition but wouldnt use it for anything serious [01:01] qpdb, i see, and how do i reinstall group in the new drive? [01:01] lavacano201014, can you or jgoguen help me from where to get it.. ? [01:01] qpdb, er i mean, grub [01:01] another question if i may, i created a raid5 with mdadm using four disks...the file transfer rate starts out fine at 50mb/s until after it completes 2gb, then the transfer rate goes down steadily til around 30mb/s and then it just stops [01:01] noksious: http://www.mirandaim.org or something [01:01] * lavacano201014 needs to clean the kitchen floor now, roommate's getting angry [01:01] ok i'll try [01:01] jpastore, my evolution is doing the same thing (or I can't spell chit!) are you running Office 3.0?

[01:02] reduz.. there a lot of ways.. just chroot the new system and run grub-install.. or only mount the new system and run grub-install with --root-directory parameter.. (man grub should help) [01:02] sorry, I'm going to bump myself again: my wireless can't connect to WPA [01:02] jpastore, what driver did you enable for NV?

I vaguely remember that there may have been problems with /boot in the past [01:45] ironmedic, cat /etc/apt/sources.list [01:45] myvo: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core [01:45] Is someone willing to help me puzzle out why, despite using the server kernel, that my system can only address 4gigs of ram? [01:46] sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core=1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10 or the version you want myvo [01:46] myvo: are you using the ati beta driver ? 8.11 i think it is [01:46] dfrey|work: there is still, as the bootloader and BIOS dont understand software raid formated partitions [01:46] brantlymedders: Are you using the 32 bit version of Ubuntu? [01:46] chadeldridge i was not aware of an 8.11 version [01:46] How do I install VMWare Server in JeOS? [01:46] dfrey|work: at least kernel and initrd must be loaded from a normal disk [01:46] Does it want a GUI? [01:46] myvo: He probably meant 8.10 [01:46] What can I use to create and run virtual machines if I don't have hardware support for virtualization in my processor/chipset? (eg, for testing new OS versions) [01:47] Bangers: "sudo apt-get packagenamehere" [01:47] lavacano201014 8.10 does not support x11 7.4 [01:47] usser: i dont fully understand what i am typing in. im still learning this stuff as i go [01:47] lavacano201014: whats the package name for vmware server [01:47] so is there a place to change the root it is looking for from within the busybox shell it puts me into? [01:47] timido i think you mean apt-cache policy x11-common which shows 7.4 [01:47] lavacano201014: Yes, with the server kernel. [01:47] brantlymedders: No need to notice me, but there's your problem. [01:47] ironmedic, the above command basically lists the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list [01:47] myvo: is that the version? [01:47] brantlymedders: would using the 64 bit version help? [01:47] myvo: i mean the catalyst 8.11 driver ... let me find it [01:47] i typed it in and it does not recognize it [01:47] 32 Bit OSes can only support 4 GB of ram [01:48] then installed it with the command I've give you myvo =) [01:48] zsquareplusc: I only have a 32bit processor. [01:48] zsquareplusc: So essentially, it is impossible to create a system that can survive a disk failure of the disk containing the /boot partition? [01:48] lavacano201014: I thought PAE allowed a system to address more than 4 gigs of ram? [01:48] brb coffee time [01:48] brantlymedders: what is it for a processor? [01:48] timido x11-common shows 7.4 but i dunno what xserver-xorg-core version i need..i dont know if i install one version of this and a different version of that if it will break anything [01:48] brantlymedders: I thought that was Microsoft only. [01:48] usser: give me a second to get this worked out [01:48] hey still cant upgrade my ubuntu [01:48] ironmedic, sure [01:48] says there is no updates [01:49] MarkyP: Try this [01:49] dfrey|work: i guess you'd need to backup /boot separately as it isnt on the raid itself [01:49] im on a old version [01:49] MarkyP: "sudo apt-get upgrade", just to make sure, then "sudo apt-get distupgrade" [01:49] 5.10 [01:49] zsquareplusc: About $100 for a Pentium D 840, which the max my motherboard will support. [01:49] Whoa. [01:49] MarkyP: You're going to need a LiveCD of 8.10 [01:49] o :( [01:49] brantlymedders: and you have more trhan 4GB of RAM in a 32bit machine? [01:50] i guess ill have 2 download and burn the iso then [01:50] was just trying 2 avoid that option lol [01:50] thanks [01:50] zsquareplusc: It was cheaper to buy 4gigs than 3gigs, and I was ignorant at the time. [01:50] i mounted mindows partition with ntfs-config, now i can not unmount it. [01:50] zsquareplusc: Just to be clear, /boot is the *only* part of the filesystem that would need to be on a normal partition right? [01:50] dfrey|work: as iu under [01:51] thx [01:51] dfrey|work: as iu understand, yes [01:51] chadeldridge i found this quote on the phoronix forum....Nope the Version in Intrepid is the 8.10 with a Hotfix for xserver 1.5 and not the 8.11 [01:51] I'm trying to write a "heapify" function - http://codepad.org/Brix848e - I don't think it's working properly. Can someone take a look at it? Or if you know where the source code for a heapify function is that would be helpful too. thanks! [01:51] sry wrong channel :P [01:51] usser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/68652/ [01:51] apo_: running into problem with modutils [01:51] usser: i figured it out lol! :) [01:51] this looks very similar to the error I am getting....http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=924202 [01:51] apo_: the current kernel uses module-init-tools, whereas I need modutils for a previous kernel [01:51] apo_:how do I handle this? [01:51] all of these versions of saying x, x11, xserver, xorg is very confusing...why is it xserver 1.5 in this context but x11-7.4 or x.org-7.4 in another context [01:51] lavacano201014: it's "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (with a hyphen) and that command will not get you a new version [01:52] why do I feel like I get punished everytime I upgrade ubuntu [01:52] zsquareplusc: If it's impossible to address the max ram, then so be it, though I was fairly certain that the server-kernel's CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y would allow me to address up to 64 gigs of ram [01:52] jpastore: probably because you upgrade to fast [01:52] mneptok: I remember doing it with "distupgrade", though it could be "dist-upgrade" [01:52] It's how I got from Feisty to Gutsy once [01:52] foxwoods: Uh, I don't know. Can't you just install modutils? [01:52] apo_: no, they conflict [01:52] lavacano201014: "dist-upgrade" will not do that, i assure you. [01:53] apo_: module-init-tools is supposed to replace modutils [01:53] fwaokda: put heapify above buildHeap [01:53] kitche, too fast? what's too fast? I thought that was the point of release candidates and betas [01:53] mneptok: Have they removed the functionality? [01:53] lavacano201014: it was never there in the first place. [01:53] ironmedic, im not sure whats wrong your sources.list is fine [01:53] foxwoods: Hm... I assume removing module-init-tools would create major breakage? [01:53] mneptok: It was, I swear I've done it. [01:53] apo_: I tried, it looked like it [01:53] fwaokda: alternatively, declare your functions in a header file. [01:53] anyone recommend a good way to update mono to 1.9.1 or newer on ubuntu desktop 8.04 64 bit? [01:53] ironmedic, do u have internet connection? is xubuntu cd still in drive? [01:53] lavacano201014: dist-upgrade gets you new kernels for your current version, not a new release. [01:53] foxwoods: Then I have no idea, sorry :| [01:53] apo_: but it shouldn't matter to me If I'm able to install the old kernel === skipper_ is now known as SKIPPER [01:53] jpastore: you upgrading to early a lot of times RC and Beta's don't get all of the bugs since not a lot of people run them [01:53] When did 8.10 get released? [01:54] mneptok: Hmm. [01:54] apo_: I'm gonna do it and I'll see what happens :) [01:54] foxwoods: Good luck === SKIPPER is now known as skipper [01:54] brantlymedders: i'm not sure if a 32 bit proc can address more than 64GB. i'd assume that is a feature for 64 bit OS [01:54] mneptok: Well, I was right in remembering I upgraded something. [01:54] jpastore: usually they only get major serious bugs not hardware specific bugsd [01:54] usser: i can put the CD in the drive [01:54] this is similar too https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/50008 [01:54] Ive got a huge problem.. newbu here [01:54] ironmedic, do it [01:54] myvo: is this your issue : https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/289628 [01:54] newbi [01:54] ironmedic, when its inside do sudo apt-get update [01:54] kingjokin: OK, what's your problem? [01:54] I installed the bootloader on my vista partition by accident. now i can boot into it [01:55] dfrey|work, I just took the function definitions from the file nothing else.... [01:55] brantlymedders: have a look at PAE and the sevre kernel [01:55] *server [01:55] mneptok: I'm running the server kernel [01:55] kingjokin: So you can't boot into Ubuntu. Do you have any important files or anything? [01:55] (Probably not, but still nice to ask) [01:55] im on ubuntu now [01:55] is there a way to reinstall from CD without loosing all my settings, home dir, etc> [01:55] cant boot into vista [01:55] mneptok: I get exactly the same information from free when running either kernel. [01:56] bin1010: use the alternate cd [01:56] kitche, this isn't a hardware problem. python-setuptools broke and I'm getting a ton of complaints and evolution spell check is broken. [01:56] kingjokin: Not sure whether or not you need to get into ##windows, but do you have any files on Vista? [01:56] so i bought a PNY Geforce gx 5200 card today and installed the drivers and it wouldnt work and loaded text mode [01:56] kitche, it's always all kinds of annoying problems not just expected problems like nvidia drivers [01:56] can anyone please help me [01:56] lots of work and pictures and everytthing [01:56] seps1816: what's wrong? [01:56] chadeldridge not really...i did start with 8.04 a few days ago and the restricted driver manager did not automatically pick up my ati graphics so i thought 8.10 might be better....upon first boot i tried to install the restricted driver and it didnt seem to work right, it seemed to me that it installed too quickly. i rebooted to test it out and thats when i got "dkms kernel auto installatin fglrx fail" and gnome started in safe graphics m [01:56] ode, until i did a dpkg-reconfigure of X and now i'm on the default software renderer [01:56] Server (http://storage.us.to) Uptime: 2wks 1day 21hrs 44mins 16secs [01:56] kingjokin: OK, do you have a burner and some blank CDs? [01:57] yeah [01:57] brantlymedders: as i understand, your CPU does support 64 bits. i'd try installing the 64 bit version of ubuntu if you have a free partition [01:57] Or a removable media like a stick drive? [01:57] im not getting corrupted 3D because X won't even start with fglrx [01:57] kitche, wifi got worse last update and now I can't push a large amount of data without getting disconnected from my network... [01:57] usser: it is doing its thing now [01:57] zsquareplusc: No, my CPU doesn't, it's a pentium 4 HT, basically the last 32 bit processor intel made [01:57] is it possible to dualboot windows xp after you install ubuntu first ? [01:57] kingjokin: Burn your Vista's "C:\Users\You" folder onto discs through Ubuntu (I like K3B), then level Vista and start over [01:57] MatBoy: nope [01:57] ok so i got the card installed ubuntu bought up the drivers thing so i installed it and then when i restarted it didnt load the normal boot screen it paused for a bit then went into text mode [01:57] ironmedic, ok [01:57] jpastore: yes wifi is a hardware issue most likely considering that some of Linux drivers are bit unstable [01:58] zsquareplusc: The 64 bit kernel won't boot, I tried the live cd and no luck [01:58] TiMiDo: Actually it is [01:58] MatBoy: you need to installed windows and then ubuntu. and then grub will pick up you're new OS [01:58] i cant see files from here [01:58] TiMiDo: damn that sucks [01:58] MatBoy: There's something you add into the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, but I don't remember it [01:58] lavacano201014: ? [01:58] i see like i have two kenel installed in my computer ho to correct it any body help [01:58] brantlymedders: hm. google turned up results with "dual core" and one article mentioned 64 bits. oh well [01:58] lavacano201014: that would be nice :) [01:58] I haven't dualbooted in a long time [01:59] so I could make a partition and try it :) [01:59] I need it :S [01:59] !cair-dock [01:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about cair-dock [01:59] brantlymedders: sorry, i cant help you [01:59] Im not sure where to find them. there is no trace of them [01:59] i find this when i start my computer [01:59] usser: i am assuming i will be doing updates for a while? [01:59] plz hlp me [01:59] any ideas TiMiDo === john is now known as Guest61339 [01:59] ironmedic, not really it shouldnt take more than 5 minutes [02:00] lavacano201014: I never dualbooted with linux ;) [02:00] never needed too :D [02:00] usser: i am done now [02:00] MatBoy: Make a blank partition for a seperate Ubuntu installation, then install Windows like you planned, then install the second Ubuntu. [02:00] there is no way to just move the bootloader? [02:00] okay under system -> settings i no longer have -> language support, how do i add that? in synaptic package manager it isn't listed as an option [02:00] What do I need to add to fstab to guarantee "/dev/sda1 on /media/250GB type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096)" is mounted every reboot (even with unclean shutdown of XP)? [02:00] or uninstall it. or something..? [02:00] MatBoy: That partition will have the menu.lst entries you need [02:00] or get rid off XP =) [02:01] ironmedic, try sudo apt-get install mesa-utils [02:01] ok [02:01] waffel: plz help me [02:01] language support [02:01] failing miserable [02:01] shared PC, That's my aim.

[02:03] geev: do you use the two kernels? or you use just one? [02:03] ironmedic, nice now try glxinfo | grep Intel [02:03] geev, it's ok to have more than one kernel; most people keep two around, in case there's problems with the latest [02:03] i can not, i am not privligedto unmount this device [02:03] Lytle: sudo umount /device. [02:03] Lytle: sudo unmount /device [02:03] usser: i ran that command and it gave me a new prompt, did not say anything [02:03] umount* [02:03] if I added a script to init.d how can I make sure it restarts if the application it started crashes? [02:04] MatBoy You can install any windows OS after Ubuntu and then use Supergrub (http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/) to recreate a bootable master + grub on your harddisk [02:04] geev, but if you really want to remove one (the old one!) you can do it with synaptic [02:04] djhash: sudo /etc/init.d/apps name restart; [02:04] I always wondered why they didnt just make the comman unmount.... [02:04] ironmedic, hm try just glxinfo and pastebin the results [02:04] ok i did that too [02:04] nickrud: ok so let me leave this because i dont have problem with it [02:04] pangloss, because when the command was created, commands could only be a max of 6 chars long [02:04] What's the Compiz plugin that provides the Alt-Shift-{Left,Right} effects?

I just got a new Dell Studio 15 with Ubuntu and when I start it up, after the dell screen and the ubuntu loading screen the screen turns to white and doesnt respond to anything. I tried reinstalling but that didnt help. I think it has something to do with the video card or resolution settings. This is the third replacement laptop I've received for this problem (i assumed it was factory error)... HELP?? [02:19] nickrud: thanks i have succeeded the exercise [02:19] tonyyarusso-> but openvz only supports for linux guest only, not windows [02:19] geev, cool [02:20] n8tuser: what about say BSD? [02:20] dfsadf: do you know what chipset are you using? [02:20] dfasdf: ok, reboot your pc, and when it gets to the grub menu, press escape [02:20] !resolution | rumblefish [02:20] rumblefish: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[02:21] n8tuser, hi, I did search the two terms you mentioned. but the results are nothing related to how to read those hardware information and how to calculate the Virtual disk size in bytes. right now, I just want to learn how to use those parameters to calculate the disk size... [02:21] ok. [02:21] then go to the second line, the one with vmlinuz [02:21] press e [02:21] lucax: try it and give us the feed back =) [02:21] can you go back to kde3.5 in unbutu 8.10 ? [02:21] alright [02:22] go to the end, what does it say? [02:22] where do you report bugs [02:22] ballzee: you mean downgrade? [02:22] i think ill look in google... [02:22] anon_, bugs.ubuntu.com .

[02:23] n8tuser: looks like that's a no - depends on the kernel [02:23] dfsadf: use the right arrow key? [02:24] tonyyarusso-> okay.. [02:24] oh, did you go to the second line? [02:24] i want it to show everything running and streach a;ll the way across and have a menu on it [02:24] pangloss: ah cheers. [02:24] yes, second line. [02:24] the one that has vmlinuz [02:24] yes. [02:24] find ro in that line [02:24] subdolus: =) bash is your friend [02:24] n8tuser, I am not sure if you understand what I mean. I am not talking about parsing or scripting. I don't understand how to calculate the disk size by using the information. eg: I don't know what is L, SS, Status, Size etc... I want to learn what they are and want to learn how to calculate the disk size in bytes. My question is nothing related to scripting or programming. sorry if I confused you.

[02:25] and tell me what each line says [02:25] syli725-> well yeah i mis-understood you.. umm that was the output of which command?

[02:25] okay [02:25] first line [02:25] i've already done memtest and reinstall [02:25] then press e [02:25] n8tuser, my raid groups are disappeared in raid controller card.

I crib shamelessly [02:29] hrm.....absolutely white? [02:29] ok [02:29] turn it off, then boot from the recovery mode [02:29] and what's the version? [02:30] white with vertical lines of color. [02:30] Wall-E: ? [02:30] Ragingflames: Error: "?" is not a valid command. [02:30] n8tuser, I am kinda sysadmin. only for server apps configuration. i know nothing about hardwares.... I have no clue with hardware problem, especially the RAID information just suddenly disappeared from the controller.... [02:30] Wall-E: help [02:30] Ragingflames: (help [] []) -- This command gives a useful description of what does. is only necessary if the command is in more than one plugin. [02:30] I'm upgrading to 8.10 again, last time I had to revert to 8.04 because my nvidia-glx-177 doesnt support my 9800GT and the packet nvidia-glx-new that woked perfectly want available any more. Therefore, I need either a link where I can download nvidia-glx-new or a way to start ubuntu in text mode (not with a terminal but without X at all) so I can try with the package available at the nvidia website [02:30] SJr|Nbook-> umm dapper->to gutsy -> to hardy, you can not skip [02:30] http://pastebin.com/m2be16b97 [02:30] Yes you can [02:30] so go into recovery mode? [02:30] yes [02:30] ok [02:30] Dapper to Hardy is supported [02:31] Luke771, you should be able to use recovery mode, or hit ctl-alt-f2 to get a console on normal boot [02:31] Wall-E: exit [02:31] Ragingflames: Error: "exit" is not a valid command. [02:31] tell me when it finishes [02:31] finished [02:31] ok, list the options for me [02:31] resume, root, xfix [02:31] hey guys, why don't we have php-mbstring? I'm going to need it for phpmyadmin. [02:31] first do xfix [02:31] k [02:31] then do resume, see if it's fixed [02:31] done [02:32] is there a way to mount a hard drive without changing /etc/fstab as just a guest harddrive? I have a sata hard drive that I just want to mount to take some stuff off of it [02:32] johnfg, I just installed phpmyadmin from the packages, worked fine [02:32] n8tuser: "You can directly upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS ("Hardy Heron") from Ubuntu 7.10 ("Gutsy Gibbon") or from Ubuntu 6.06 LTS ("Dapper Drake"). This page contains instructions for both. (see UpgradeNotes)" Source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades [02:32] nope, that didnt fix it [02:32] what repository is linked directly to ubunto's upgrades [02:32] bin1010, sudo mount /dev/ /mnt , you should see the data at /mnt [02:32] nickrud: Didn't it ask you for php-mbstring? Or did you already have it installed? [02:32] okay, press CTRL-ALT-F1 [02:32] syli725-> the thing is every RAID controller has its own config files and different settings, so you may luck out if you visit the vendors site and find help there? [02:32] ok [02:32] did that take you to a console? [02:32] yes [02:32] johnfg, just a standard, fresh intrepid install [02:32] nickrud: recovery mode enters the wrong runtime level, and when I switch to 4 it starts X, In order to use that nvidia package, I need to enter runtime level 4 without X. Would crtl-alt-F2 do that? (disable X and let me log in without X?) [02:33] I'm trying to upgrade from Dapper to Hardy Ubuntu Server, I am doing 'sudo do-release-upgrade' and it just seems to have 'stopped': The last output was: http://pastebin.com/m2be16b97 [02:33] ok, now login if it asks you for it, then type 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' (without quotes) [02:33] how much memory should I allocate to a guest OS inside VirtualBox? [02:33] Luke771, clt-alt-f2, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to stop X, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to restart [02:33] you there? [02:33] Looking at top the only thing doing anything is klogd [02:33] That's what I've got, too. But always before, with fedora, debian, opensuse, etc., I had to install php-mbstring. [02:33] thx nickrud [02:33] Frijolie: at least 128mb [02:33] Luke771, the run levels are all the same in ubuntu by the way (as far as X is concerned) [02:34] Frijolie: how much ram you have? [02:34] done === Cream is now known as CREAM [02:34] n8tuser, it's dell PERC 6/E card. I am searching it in google now... no luck yet. [02:34] user on-line indicator is newly added into ubuntu 8.10., whats this for..? [02:34] but it didnt bring up any more text. [02:34] ok, dpkg-reconfigure is done? did you accept all the defaults? [02:34] SJr|Nbook-> honestly, i would not do an upgrade, a fresh install is my suggested advise [02:34] okay that is weird....the hard drive is intact and fine. I moved it to another machine and I am looking at it via livecd. df [02:34] pangloss: that's not that much. I have 2GB but plan on having a few VM installed which will be various distros [02:34] nothing happened. [02:34] Wall-E: QUIT [02:34] Ragingflames: Error: You don't have the owner capability. If you think that you should have this capability, be sure that you are identified before trying again. The 'whoami' command can tell you if you're identified. [02:34] nothing printed for sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [02:34] n8tuser it's not supported this is a VPS and my only option to get something relatively new is to go with an upgrade [02:34] correct [02:34] Although it seems to have just been crunching packages [02:35] Frijolie: as long as Vista isn involved, 128 will run the other operating systems. Programs will run slow though probably... [02:35] johnfg, mbstring is built into libapache2-mod-php5 [02:35] pangloss: well the memory is only allocated when the VM is running right? [02:35] SJr|Nbook-> sorry what is a VPS ? [02:35] that's really weird.....um, reboot and run recovery mode, press root when you get there and let me know === CREAM is now known as [] [02:35] Virtual PRivate Server, it's basically a Virtual Machine === [] is now known as {} [02:35] ok [02:35] Frijolie: im pretty sure it pages all the memory you allocate it [02:36] johnfg, as well as other php/webserver interfaces, see apt-cache search mbstring [02:36] pangloss: so more wouldn't be harmful to my primary OS? say 512MB? [02:36] im there [02:36] SJr|Nbook-> you can not install a new os on a VPS? or am mis-reading you? [02:36] No because it's remote [02:36] Frijolie: so when you open a VM with 512 ram allocated to it, you will lose 512 from your primary OS [02:36] try running the command dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:36] Frijolie: it depends on what you're doing and what your needs are. [02:36] I just noticed that I have the directory, /var/www, but not /var/www/html. If I want it, will I have to reconfigure httpd.conf? [02:36] pangloss: leaving me with 1.5GB right...that's plenty isn't it? [02:37] ok [02:37] it brought up something [02:37] user on-line indicator is newly added into ubuntu 8.10., whats this for..? [02:37] johnfg, forget nearly everything you think you know about apache config in ubuntu :0 [02:37] Can someone help me with mounting an external hdd? i tried mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb /mnt/externalhdd/ nothing... "externalhdd" folder exist and the external hdd is /dev/sdb according to fdisk -l [02:37] how can i get my kde taskbar to look like this http://www.linux.com/var/uploads/Image/articles/124683.png ? [02:37] pangloss: i'm experimenting with different distros (Fedora, Kubuntu, Gentoo, openSUSE) === {} is now known as Cream [02:37] "use kernal framebuffer device interface"?" [02:37] nickrud: OK, where do you find the config files then? [02:37] Frijolie: yes 1.5 should be fine for your primary OS, and 512 will do the other OS 's justice (kinda) [02:38] SJr|Nbook->you can install like virtualbox or openvz or vmware perhaps? then install the guest, you can install these remotely [02:38] No I can't because it's not my host OS [02:38] pangloss: oh the dialog is only recommending 256MB per VM [02:38] I only get access to the client [02:38] dfasdf: accept all the defaults [02:38] Frijolie: SuSE will run like shit on 256 [02:38] johnfg, the config is broken down into chunks; a2enmod userdir for example, links userdir config into /etc/apache2/mods-enabled. Then when apache restarts, it builds the working http.conf from the snippets there. As well as sites-enabled, and apache2.conf and the other snippets in /etc/apache2 [02:38] ok [02:39] !who | SJr|Nbook-> [02:39] who? [02:39] !who | SJr|Nbook [02:39] SJr|Nbook: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:39] Oh I see [02:39] um [02:39] hmm [02:39] pangloss: so the VMs are going to run slow? Like the mouse pointer will even be jumpy? They'll be at least be usable right? [02:39] johnfg, it's very nice once you get the hang of it. [02:39] n8tuser I only have access to the client OS at all. [02:39] So basically, look at the stuff in /etc/apache2? [02:40] Frijolie: yes it will work, but programs will run slow, like firefox and what not. [02:40] SJr|Nbook-> am surprised you can even install from a client [02:40] pangloss: i'm just going to try to use them to become familiar with their idiosyncrasies and package management etc [02:40] n8tuser how do I check which vesion I'm using [02:40] johnfg, yes. a2enmod a2ensite a2dismod a2dissite are your key commands. If you look at the *-available dirs, you'll see what you can do with them. [02:41] everytime I log in I get a complaint that the .dmrc file is being ignored. I checked the forums and set the permissions to the file to the recommendations the users posted. Still no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? [02:41] pangloss: if i want to use Firefox I'll still use that in my primary OS (Ubuntu) [02:41] it transferred me back to root where it says "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised conifuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf .20081107013852 [02:41] Can someone help me with mounting an external hdd? i tried mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb /mnt/externalhdd/ nothing...

[02:42] goodnight fellas [02:42] did you type startx? [02:42] pang yes, it works (mounts) just fine in Gnome automatically, but not in KDE [02:42] LF|Irssi, first, unplug the drive, run tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal, then plug the device back in. Make sure you don't see any errors in the terminal [02:42] SJr|Nbook-> uname -r or llsb_release -c [02:42] SJr|Nbook-> uname -r or lsb_release -c [02:42] i just did [02:42] ok [02:42] aaand.... back to a weird white screen [02:42] BrickHaus: what preferences?

[02:45] but how would that work? [02:45] but when you do, select English, then press F4 [02:45] then select your display's resolution [02:45] hmm [02:45] ill try [02:45] wait before you do this though [02:45] give me a sec [02:45] ok [02:45] pangloss: Ok.. Thanks man. I'll give that a whirl as soon as I figure out how to heck Ubuntu works with Xorg. It's like it doesn't but it kindof does.. lol [02:46] lol nickrud unplugging the usb drive worked, and KDE auto-mounted it Thanks :) [02:46] dfsadf: were you seeing your mouse pointer?

[02:48] uhh let me check [02:48] does someone have a suggestion for flash player having video but no audio after looking at all gui settings and still not working? all other audio works [02:48] pangloss: is there command that lets you query a given pkg name to see what's in it or some extra info before install besides just doing it? [02:48] dfsadf: and this is 8.10, right? [02:49] 8.04 [02:49] is intel video? [02:49] BrickHaus, you can install apt-file which does that. [02:49] pangloss: doing that now to xorg. But I have builtin intel vid with the i810 or intel driver. I've got my screen specs [02:49] nickrud: k.. thanks [02:49] BrickHaus: for your info about package question read through this real quick http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-search.en.html === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:50] dfasdf: intel can be video, it's either intel integrated graphics, ATI, or nVidia [02:50] timido: what do i do about this: This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source ?

[02:55] pangloss: the xorg.conf is childs play. Coming from gentoo linux so ubuntu is somewhat mysterious in the way that it does everything for you. Heh.. not complaining. It's interesting. [02:56] please people... its been two painful days of 0 progress [02:56] any idea why flash 10 keeps crashing my firefox?...i know this is a common issue, but i cant seem to find a fix. Is there even one out there?...thank you! [02:56] BrickHaus: xorg is also doing more and more for you. [02:56] okay dfsadf: sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:56] filloy, if you find one, please tell us all ;( [02:56] BrickHaus: yes thats the idea about ubuntu; sorry for writing everything out then [02:56] BrickHaus: My current xorg.conf is pretty much just a stub, everything gets autoconfigured by xorg at startup. [02:56] use j to move down, k to move up [02:57] and try to find stuff about your display [02:57] and what it's using [02:57] ok [02:57] anyone? anyone? am i a broken record here... [02:57] pangloss: yup.. thanks. I got that stuff. I'm just trying to figure out why it didn't detect my Intel onboard graphics correct. Obsolutely nothing in my xorg.conf file. To funny [02:57] BrickHaus: check out /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:57] nickrud: :(...are you using a 64 bit version of ubuntu? [02:57] um [02:57] dfsadf: are you looking at the .conf? [02:57] hi, I want to activate wifi in my Lenovo T500, I used the live CD and can see Atheros 802.11 wireless lan card activated, but how do I connect to wifi ? [02:57] i dont seem to be able to move. [02:57] dingbat, you don't see chinese as an option in language support at all? [02:57] im not sure if i am looking at the .conf [02:57] I am using 8.10 btw [02:58] dfsadf: type ":/Screen" [02:58] BrickHaus: ... which should describe what's being detected. You _can_ also put stuff into xorg.conf to make things explicit, though the whole process is changing rapidly. [02:58] without quotes [02:58] there are blue tildes on every line and at the bottom it says [02:58] karsten: ahhh. I see that now. Couldn't figure out why everything was missing and still working.. nice. I like that.. [02:58] Kengine-> sudo dhclient ath0 to associate [02:58] Q: Is it just me or FF3.0.3 crashes from time to time on hard? It is really annoying. [02:58] BrickHaus: Yeah, I discovered that over the summer. [02:58] E486: Pattern not found: Screen [02:58] What's the best option for me to use to create and run virtual machines (not necessarily Linux ones) if I don't have hardware support for virtualization in my processor/chipset? (eg, for testing new OS versions) QEMU, Xen, Virtualbox? [02:58] karsten: sweet. Thanks for the tip [02:58] BrickHaus: I'm from Debian, so ubuntu's pretty similar. [02:58] nickrud: that is correct... the only option is english [02:58] BrickHaus: NP. [02:58] oh, is nothing there? [02:58] there is nothing else in the box [02:58] type :q [02:58] BrickHaus: what karsten said. You can still add some things into xorg.conf if you like though to force it to a certain resolution or w/e [02:58] ok [02:59] BrickHaus: You can also do a fair bit of stuff through xrandr, interactively. [02:59] then type sudo vim /etc/X then tab till you get X11 or something like that, then tab until you find something that looks like xorg.conf [02:59] karsten: can you resize your login screen through xrandr? [02:59] BrickHaus: .. scary, actually, how much. And both KDE/GNOME have pretty good config tools (GUI). [02:59] BrickHaus: setting your display to be mirrored and/or upside down is always fun.... [02:59] pangloss: yup.. that's what I'm doing now. Thanks goodness I can spec out my rez [02:59] nickrud: any ideas? [03:00] dingbat, doing some research on dependencies [03:00] um, its just a bunch of blue tildes and it says --INSERT-- at the bottom [03:00] pangloss: Probably. I'd have to think out how I'd want to do that. You can point to any display by setting $DISPLAY. Probably some script. [03:00] karsten: is xrandr a pkg? [03:00] BrickHaus: application and utility, one sec... [03:00] karsten: don't think i've heard of that before [03:00] n8tuser, yes I did that. sudo dhclient eth0, it found some return from 255.255.255.255 but now says no DHCPOFFERS received [03:00] nickrud: k... i'm completely at a loss so... anything should be a good idea [03:00] !xrandr [03:00] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [03:00] dfsadf.....okay, type :q [03:00] BrickHaus: ... x11-server-utils [03:00] now type cd /etc/X11 [03:00] then type ls and tell me what you see [03:01] I luv you ubottu.. heh [03:01] BrickHaus: ... is the package. Should be installed by default. [03:01] BrickHaus: botlove. [03:01] !botlove [03:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about botlove [03:01] Poor bot.... [03:01] um, its not getting me out of the blue tildes thing [03:01] dfsadf: Are you in an editor right now? [03:01] haha yes you to ubottu... [03:01] i use xrandr in fluxbox to set my screen resolution [03:01] how do i install java for ubuntu 6.06? [03:01] n8tuser, do I need to add a Wireless card in Network Connections ?

[03:02] oh, right dfsadf type escape, then :q [03:02] haha [03:02] rofl [03:02] dingbat, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-language-selector-common gnome-language-selector [03:02] yep, pretty lame :p [03:02] givmee sum botluv [03:02] !helpersnack | karsten [03:02] karsten: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [03:03] hahaha [03:03] lol.. nice [03:03] i accidentally removed my network manager from the taskbar, and also whenever i open up pidgin and amarok the windows no longer show up there. can someone help please? [03:03] nickrud: "E: Couldn't find package gnome-language-selector-common " [03:03] hi all, trying to encode vinyl, is it better to gnormalize or audacity-amplify low volume? [03:03] dfsadf: OK, you're in vim (or vi), editing xorg.conf. blue tilde is just vim's way of showing you're looking at a screen past the end of the file (they're null lines). ' [03:03] dingbat, sorry, that should have been language-selector-common gnome-language-selector [03:03] i'm not sure this is a good thing - http://pastebin.com/d2f306b3f :( [03:04] is there someway to revert to panel settings? [03:04] ohh [03:04] well i am back at root now [03:04] dfsadf: 1G will take you to the top of the file. At shell, run "vimtutor" for a quick start guide to vim. [03:04] karsten, gotta grab the chance while I can: thanks for all the years of help ;) [03:04] My networkManger Icon I can see, but it doesnt have any signals [03:04] nickrud: NP. [03:04] right, how did you get to this console? [03:04] i had to restart. [03:04] roshan: no applets will come up in your system tray? [03:04] roshan:you can right click on taskbar and add items to it [03:04] nickrud: still cant find language selector [03:04] nickrud: "E: Couldn't find package gnome-language-selector " [03:05] and where did you go from there, did you use the recovery console? [03:05] yes === anon is now known as bloodboy [03:05] nickrud: So you've run across me before? [03:05] hrm....okay [03:05] type exit [03:05] ok [03:05] roshan: if you want to reset your gnome settings (like panel icons) try renaming your ~/.gnome to ~/.gnome_old and restatr x [03:05] pangloss & thiebaude: no no applets come up in system tray. its weird [03:05] dingbat: sudo apt-get update [03:05] where are you now? [03:05] recovery menu [03:05] okay, choose resume [03:05] pangloss, so would that remove everything like themes etc? [03:05] roshan: yes [03:05] anyone activated wifi from 8.10 in Lenovo T500 ? [03:06] musikgoat: good call thanks... doing it [03:06] aww [03:06] white screen [03:06] dingbat, I gotta correct myself again: sudo apt-get install --reinstall language-selector language-selector-common . Got messed up with the actuall admin command, gnome-language-selector [03:06] and you get the white screen, so press CTRL-ALT-F1 [03:06] pangloss: ok i will try that [03:06] which is better for communicating with a VM? A samba share or using a raw image and mounting it (or even a partition; or will that destroy my disk?) [03:06] now try typing sudo metacity --replace again [03:06] roshan: if it doesnt work out, just delete the new .gnome and rename gnome_old to .gnome [03:06] roshan: make sense? [03:06] so after i rename .gnome to.gnome_old i just log out and log back in correct? [03:06] ok [03:06] karsten, I read your stuff on the net years ago, and learned much. You arguably bootstrapped me over the learning hurdle [03:07] ok [03:07] roshan: when you do that press ctrl + alt + backspace to restart x [03:07] nickrud: "Reinstallation of language-selector is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. Reinstallation of language-selector-common is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. " - should i give up? [03:07] ok thank you [03:07] nickrud: Glad to assist ;-) [03:07] what was its output? [03:07] dingbat, no, that's the problem. What version of ubuntu are you running [03:07] no output. [03:07] ok, type startx [03:07] 8.04 [03:08] nothing. [03:08] i'm running update... maybe that will help? [03:08] hrm.....type CTRL-ALT-F7 [03:08] If I have a box configured with a static IP to a router, for traffic routing purposes, is there any kind of event triggered, specifically a script executed when the REAL IP (not the IP assigned by the router) is changed if you have a few dynamic IPs? [03:08] what did that bring you to? [03:08] back to the white screen [03:08] so go back [03:08] CTRL-ALT-F1 [03:08] ok [03:08] Hi. I'd like to make a script a little something like this... if /SomeDirectory is empty, do "this", then do "that" otherwise just do "that"..... if that makes any sense... [03:08] then do sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:09] dingbat, ok, then probably you have issues with your sources. put a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list on paste.ubuntu.com [03:09] a_canadian_girl: I'm not clear on what you're asking. "Real IP" == a dynamically assigned IP from your ISP? [03:09] no response [03:09] karsten, yes [03:09] no response from what, CTRL-ALT-F1? [03:09] a_canadian_girl: ... or a change to the internal system's IP. [03:09] Try F2 or F3 [03:09] from the typed words [03:09] After_Math: Look at ALSA mixer's settings. [03:09] korogiannos: its easy of you know perl, bash, or python [03:10] ok.....type cd /etc/X11 [03:10] then type ls [03:10] karsten, LAN IP will be static, the dynamic IP assigned by ISP will change [03:10] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/68678/ [03:10] and tell me if xorg.conf is there [03:10] I'm trying to sort out a wonky dns entry... everything seems to be right, but the results from dig/host aren't right. [03:10] brings me to login [03:10] is there a server ubuntu thread? [03:10] pangloss:if you know none of them? [03:10] well login [03:10] with ctrl alt f2 [03:10] no one has ever used a VM? [03:10] then do the cd command [03:10] um, i dont know the u/p. [03:10] its the one you installed with [03:10] a_canadian_girl: OK. No, that shoudln't matter. The router is acting as a NAT, assuming you have an internal private network (addresses of 192.168.*.*, 10.*.*.*, or 172.16.*.* (I think, never recall the class B). [03:10] a_canadian_girl: Next question is: why do you ask? [03:11] korogiannos: google some documentation and grab a case of jolt cola =) [03:11] dingbat, those look ok. I'm looking some stuff up [03:11] korogiannos, you have to at least learn bash [03:11] i havent done a reinstall on this particular laptop [03:11] karsten, need to send an http request to zoneedit when the dynamic IP changes [03:11] Dominik: no on the server channel from my knowledge, its all supported here [03:11] nickrud: thanks for the help.... when i'm done running update i'll see if that makes a difference... [03:11] musikgoat: thanks [03:11] a_canadian_girl: From your *INTERNAL* box's perspective, it's just throwing packets to a gateway. That gateway will NAT the traffic. [03:11] i've done reinstalls on the past replacement and the original of this same model [03:11] a_canadian_girl: You're port-forwarding :80 inside? [03:11] well then, does it improve performance to have a thin client with more then 64 megs of memory? [03:11] a_canadian_girl: ... or you're using a dyndns type service? [03:12] does it make sense for a thin client to have dedicated graphics [03:12] ok, can anyone tell me where to find a distro that is even more up on newer hardware? [03:12] Fedora? [03:12] a_canadian_girl: Easiest solution there is to use one of the Linux-based router packages. [03:12] or OpenSuse? [03:12] karsten, zoneedit DDNS service forwards to my dynamic IP and from there the router forwards port 22, 80, etc to the box in question [03:12] in other words can a thin client take advantage of local resources past the point of just rendering what the server sends it? [03:12] whois foo.com reports the correct nameserver, dig ns1.thenameserver.com reports the correct IP address, ns1.thenameserver.com is up, I can ssh into it. The name server and host is using ispconfig for management; ispconfig shows the entry for foo.com, there's an ispconfig-created entry file for foo.com in /etc/bind. But dig foo.com and host foo.com show no listing. [03:12] shane2peru: when it doubt go damnsmall haha [03:12] pangloss: i tried it but it didnt work. it did nothing. i rename the .gnome2 and .gnome2_private both with _old and it did nothing. [03:12] dingbat: you can't be serious. [03:12] shane2peru: just curious, whats not working? [03:12] shane2peru: you're right... i'm not [03:13] pangloss: it is the .gnome in teh home folder that you're talking about right? [03:13] pangloss: I love to learn new things, QuickBasic is as far as my knowledge stretches, and some .bat files. Where should I look? Bash for starters, then? Perl or Python? [03:13] temppy: you name it, I have never had such a tough time with Ubuntu (user since Breezy days) [03:13] a_canadian_girl: Right. One sec. [03:13] a_canadian_girl: What's the router? [03:13] temppy: mostly sound card is not right at all. [03:13] dingbat, those two packages, language-selector and language-selector-common are in hardy, so your update should work [03:13] a_canadian_girl: Vendor/model? [03:13] karsten, Linksys WRT4G .3 [03:13] hello? [03:13] sorry did you do that cd /etc/X11 [03:13] ? === clfs is now known as joshux [03:14] temppy: I upgraded to Alsa x.18 and still no good [03:14] no, i was never able to [03:14] nickrud: okay... i'll see what i can do [03:14] quit [03:14] update at 85% [03:14] when I seek in rhythmbox it hangs... any ideas ? [03:14] should i get to the root through recovery mode and try it? [03:14] Dominik: i lied, i'm sorry, #ubuntu-server could help with your question [03:14] shane2peru: yeah, I hate it when hardware gets unsupported [03:14] temppy: dumped alsa, and went with oss4.1 a little better, but not much [03:14] musikgoat: thanks [03:14] a_canadian_girl: http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/index.php [03:14] Dominik: i assumed it wouldn't be something as intricate [03:14] Ello all...I got a...well my reaction was WTF...anyway I'm trying to save a friends computer...as of right now its running the live cd for 8.10 to make a big old file transfer to my sever so he can save some data...Now he opted to install ubuntu on his system...got to the partitioner and it is not showing anything...the strange thing is I am moveing 15 gigs or so off that computer at the same time as this so there is a hard drive somewh [03:14] ere... [03:15] temppy: yeah, I have always had good luck with Ubuntu, but this new computer is a reallll pain [03:15] :-P [03:15] karsten, if you're going to recommend dd.wrt or such, last time I tried the flashing failed half-way through, and it overwrote the factory restore 'partition' (if you will), and I actually had to break open the router and short the flash chip pins to factory safe-mode [03:15] a_canadian_girl: You can flash the Linksys with a Linux-based router image that among other things has a dyndns module. Handles the update for you. [03:15] dingbat, if it fails again, let me know. We'll try some lower level commands to see what's going on [03:15] roshan: try $mv ~/.gconf/apps/panel ~/.gconf/apps/panel_old [03:15] no, where are you right now? [03:15] I need some really bleeding edge distro. [03:15] a_canadian_girl: Well, yeah, that's what I'm recommending ;-) [03:15] nickrud: will do [03:15] a_canadian_girl: I've had really good luck with it. [03:15] don't want to go through that again :) [03:15] musikgoat: lol that room is empty :( [03:16] nowhere atm [03:16] Dominik: Thin client's a marketing term, a fresh spin on client/server, so whatever makes sense to whomever's selling/buying is what makes sense. The general sense is much like a web browser; unlike an old-fashioend client/server, the client can do a lot, so the server isn't required to scale as much as you add clients. Generally speaking the connotation is that the thin client approach avoids excessive maintenance of the clien [03:16] t machines, generally because the client machine hosts only sufficient smarts to make the connection and interpret the results. [03:16] korogiannos: any of them will work, perl is very hard to read for beginners, python is pretty good, and bash you will use the most [03:16] a_canadian_girl: what dynamic DNS service are you using? [03:16] pangloss: i saw this thread: do you think i should try it first? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408925 [03:16] roshan: after that restart x again [03:16] Dominik: Of course, "fresh spin" in this topic means "dating from 1997" :-). [03:17] pangloss: when using a VM, after using the .iso file, do you actually install it or just run it via liveCD? What's best? [03:17] ok, does anyone know what the deal is with ffmpeg now? Apparently they updated it, and the old fix doesn't fix it now. [03:17] a_canadian_girl: There are some dyndns packages for Ubuntu. I'm not sure how suited they are to your situation. [03:17] puff: the way I understand the client / server relationship is that a client does nothing more then render what the server does and tell the server what to do, in that sense it would not make sense to have more then the minimal amount of resources to accomplish just that [03:17] Frijolie: install to the VM [03:17] temppy: does ffmpeg depend on my soundboard to be setup correctly? [03:17] I wondering if anyone knows how to setup a grub boot script to load everything but the gnome desktop, or is that prtty much equivalnet to recovery mode? [03:17] pangloss: alright... [03:17] pangloss: Thankyou, yet again. I'm off to see my good friend google. Keep up the great work helping us wanabe "power" users [03:18] is there a seperate trash for root? i just deleted 12.1 gigs under a sudo'd nautilus and it didn't free up 12.1 gigs [03:18] roshan: this should work: $mv ~/.gconf/apps/panel ~/.gconf/apps/panel_old [03:18] squarebracket: No. [03:18] korogiannos: It depends a lot on what you're going to be doing. If you're going to be spending most of your time dealing with system admin type problems with systems others have set up, you'll be dealing with shell scripting a lot. [03:18] roshan: but you can try the other thing as well =) [03:18] squarebracket: erm. O dear. Don't do that. [03:18] korogiannos: good luck!! [03:18] okay, start normally, get to the white screen, then press CTRL-ALT-F1 [03:18] how am I going to make Fallout 1 run on WINE? [03:18] karsten, indeed, but you can see my last message for why I'm not willing to try flashing it again, however the request to the ddns provider is quite simple, I just need some kind of script to be executed when and if the external IP changes, but I'm not sure if/where that's possible [03:18] karsten, zoneedit [03:18] when I seek in rhythmbox it hangs... any ideas ? [03:18] ok [03:18] pangloss: thank you very much what you told me worked!!! [03:18] squarebracket: drop to a terminal. 'df -h' should show free space / utilization by partition. [03:19] roshan: =) [03:19] xorlim: check appdb.winehq.org [03:19] is Debian better for very new hardware? [03:19] seek doesn't work in totem / rhythmbox [03:19] nickrud: looks like it worked [03:19] thanks for the help [03:19] Dominik: Y'know, I remember in 1997, when "thin client" was making a big splash, walking through an old big-iron data center (at a bank) and seeing a poster on the wall, "why is client/server like teenage sex", with lots of funny parallels, ending with "everybody's talking about it, nobody's doing it." [03:19] dingbat, yw [03:19] wondering if anyone here knows how to allow guest sessions to type in chinese. I have it enabled on my session but the SCIM thing doesn't show up on guest sessions [03:19] im there [03:19] a_canadian_girl: thats the fun part [03:19] a_canadian_girl: tomato is supposed to be just as good in some respences [03:19] *respects [03:19] a_canadian_girl: zoneedit gives you the script [03:19] Dominik: sorry :-( [03:19] a_canadian_girl: I use zone edit, I can dig up my script if you like... [03:19] musikgoat: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:20] seek doesn't work in totem / rhythmbox [03:20] ok now type cd /etc/X11 [03:20] shane2peru: no idea [03:20] a_canadian_girl: I'd be surprised if there isn't a solution out there. I can think of a few ways to maybe do this. Your router doesn't support this directly? Can you get a status screen from this? [03:20] \um. [03:20] anyone use dvd-slideshow? [03:20] there is still no response. [03:20] Dominik: Client/server is just a definition of a relationship. Strictly speaking, nothing prevents program Foo from being a client to program Bar but Foo can also be a server to program Bat. [03:20] a_canadian_girl: Worst to worst: you could screen-scrape every few seconds, update if the external IF value changes. [03:20] what do you mean no response? what does it say exactly? Do you have a console? [03:21] karsten: i just did bad things, didn't i... [03:21] shane2peru: I would hope that with the pulseaudio, things would get better with sound [03:21] seek doesn't work in totem / rhythmbox [03:21] squarebracket: Running GUI file management tools as root is ... frowned on. [03:21] karsten, same thing. i guess being too lazy to rm -r the folders screwed me over? [03:21] its not really a console. i can type things but there is no printout. [03:21] wondering if anyone here knows how to allow guest sessions to type in chinese. I have it enabled on my session but the SCIM thing doesn't show up on guest sessions [03:21] In ubuntu, is there a way to make the terminal remember what size I had it at each time I open it? [03:21] its just like a black screen i can type on. [03:21] ok, press CTRl-ALT-F2 [03:22] uh, this is the login screen that i dont know the username/password to [03:22] squarebracket: 'df' and 'du' can trace down where the space is. If you deleted files which are open by other tools, then they may still exist. Or nautilus may have tried to help you by saving stuff in trash. Yeah, you probably want to find out where root's trash is. [03:22] temppy: well let me try a fresh install, I was working on intrepid-RC and all was great, then after intrepid was released and the updated the kernel, everything broke.

The web was the first really successful approach where the server said "do some stuff" and the stuff struck the right balance between simply installing the app on the de [03:26] sktop machine and micro-managing the desktop machine.

[03:47] vim xorg.conf [03:47] foxwoods: ... assuming no gimfoolery on the part of Apple, which I won't guarantee. [03:47] Hey i got a new kernell update that has this warning : "You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed" should i install anyway? please answer [03:47] karsten: what's mounted as hfsplus? [03:47] anyone install vmware from rpm off wmware's site? [03:48] dialog* [03:48] Come on SDR! [03:48] perhaps a better question would be: what's a good way to manage commonly accessed samba shares so that I can get to them quickly? [03:48] toastedmilk, sudo cp /copyto/foo/bar /home/toastedmilk/whatever you want [03:48] anyone familiar with aticonfig? [03:48] ok [03:48] toastedmilk, do you understand? im not that great of an explainer haha [03:48] I'm trying to set up an asus ati radeon 3450 with dual monitor support [03:48] running into a bunch of problems [03:48] Venin: on any filesystem, "delete" just removes the directory entry for the data. The unallocated sectors still have data in them. In DOS there was pretty much a filename as well. In ext2 it's a slightly different story. With ext3, journaling and other stuff make recovery vastly less likely to succeed. [03:48] toastedmilk, or did you mean that it had spaces in it? [03:48] billybigrigger, yeah, but I typed that in [03:48] now do the insertion as described before (get to where it says Identifier configured video card), go to the line below, press i, type in everything from this link http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=54960 [03:48] foxwoods: /dev/sdf2 on /media/Boot OSX type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) [03:48] billybigrigger, it has spaces in it [03:49] from the section starting at "imtel 965" [03:49] sent me a pm if you do, if your busy helping someone now just let me know if you might have time later to help [03:49] billybigrigger, also, I typed it in and now I get this line in terminal: '>' [03:49] karsten: must have the wrong person [03:49] I would appreciate it [03:49] toastedmilk, ahhhh, well then use tab, it will autocyomplete the director [03:49] Using xubuntu 8.10 [03:49] under system>hardware drivers, it says a nvidia driver is activated but not in use, how do I get it "in use" please? [03:49] foxwoods: Right. [03:49] karsten: I nor anyone I'm helping with has a problem with that [03:49] toastedmilk, ctrl-c to close that > [03:49] toastedmilk: Sec. [03:49] everything? [03:49] Any ideas how to disable the touchpad while typing? [03:49] just hte section in the section device, identifier intel 964 [03:49] toastedmilk, if you use tab it will fill in the spaces [03:49] toastedmilk: Best I can tell: that's mounted directly as hfsplus. You should be able to access anything as root. [03:49] everything after that Identifier line [03:49] does anyone know how to access the web interface of nagios after installing from repository? It doesnt seem to match at all what is given on the nagios site [03:49] k [03:49] toastedmilk, just type the first couple letters of the dir, then tab [03:50] so type Driver "intel" [03:50] toastedmilk: ... assuming no gimfoolery on the part of Apple, which I won't guarantee. [03:50] billybigrigger, tried it, not working [03:50] then VendorName "intel Corp" [03:50] etc [03:50] until BusID [03:50] karsten, gimfoolery? [03:50] foxwoods: Sorry, confuzzed. [03:50] type that line [03:50] then type another newline [03:50] foxwoods: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:50] Shut up FloodBot [03:50] toastedmilk: Too-clever electronics, DRM, or similar. [03:50] lol [03:50] then tell me how it reads in your xorg.conf between the section and endsection [03:51] toastedmilk: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=define%3Atomfoolery&spell=1 [03:51] ubuntu could use better display setting configurations by default [03:51] why is everyone working on 4 different display managers [03:51] karsten: no worries [03:51] karsten, I know what tomfoolery is! just not 'gim'! [03:51] toastedmilk: I may have made that up ;-) [03:51] anonident: everyone has different preferences [03:52] !best [03:52] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:52] well, obviously tomfoolery and gimfoolery refer to foolery by tom and gim (jim?) respectively [03:52] dfsadf: I have to go soon, but I'll help you try this new xorg.conf [03:52] then I'll have to go [03:52] and good luck :D [03:52] ok [03:52] hi what else do i need to install with wine on 8.10 after i added the wine repo? [03:52] so how's it going with the typing from the link? [03:52] yikes this is nuts [03:52] karsten, hehe [03:52] limecat: Do you have a brother? [03:52] limecat: lemoncat? [03:52] billybigrigger, Still get the '>' prompt [03:52] billybigrigger, is that for the password input? [03:53] you're just doing the driver"intel", vendorName, boardname, 4 options, and busid right? [03:53] toastedmilk: Unclosed quote in shell. [03:53] toastedmilk, no, ctrl x? [03:53] toastedmilk, or z [03:53] S3 sleep doesnt work and hibernate takes forever and breaks my audio [03:53] toastedmilk, haha i can't remember which one, its either ctrl c x z [03:53] finally [03:53] Got to the end [03:53] karsten, well the directory im copying from has a ' in it [03:53] yes [03:53] * billybigrigger could never work at a help desk [03:54] karsten, use quotes? [03:54] have got to the endsection [03:54] woo [03:54] and now? [03:54] anonident: why? development is happening with all the different window managers, kde people don't want gnome and gnome people don't want kde [03:54] anonident: no pm please [03:54] scientes, sudo alsa force-reload usually makes my sound work again [03:55] tell me how it reads dfsadf [03:55] just type it on one line, use abbrevs [03:55] one more question before I re-install, does anyone know if there are any other kernel options for me to install in ibex [03:55] start from section to endsection [03:55] rythembox wont load and froze [03:55] musikgoat1: but the progress that each individual window manager can make is held back, developers have to deal with different set ups and configurations [03:55] and i reset and reloaded pulse and alsa [03:55] karsten, mark@ToastedMilk:~$ suo cp "//media/ /Backups.backupdb/yans' apple/Latest/ /Users/YAWN/Music" chmod +x /home/mark/Music [03:55] bash: suo: command not found [03:55] anonident: thats the nice thing with linux is that there are many solutions to getting something done, distributions that focus on only one way usually end up having forks where people want things their way anyways [03:55] toastedmilk, sudo [03:55] scientes, yikes... [03:55] I have created a "Launcher" icon to go to smb:// locations, how can I tell it to use the theme icon for "networked directories" ? [03:56] toastedmilk, xtrl-a [03:56] toastedmilk: That'll do it. [03:56] a better solution would be one where there was a primary window manager or development environment, like xwindows and then if people want to make mods for that fine [03:56] toastedmilk, ctrl-a [03:56] but it seems like there is redundant work going on [03:56] anonident, this is offtopic, chat about it in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:56] PeskyJ, click the icon in the launcher definition dialog window [03:56] section device indent config vid device, option usefbd ture, driver intel, vendorname intelcorp, boardname mobileetc, option dri true, option noddc true, optipon xaanetc true, topion accelmethod xaa, busid psi020, endsection [03:56] well I tried getting help with a technical problem but everyone ignored me [03:56] toastedmilk: If a file has a single or double quote in it, you've got to quote or escape it. [03:56] anonident: state your problem again [03:57] I'm trying to set up an asus ati radeon 3450 with dual monitor support [03:57] it keeps messing up xserver [03:57] toastedmilk: So, say, "Mom's Recipies" has to be specified, like that, or as "cp Mom\s\ Recipies [03:57] nickrud: that allows you to pick a custom icon (from a bitmap file presumably) but I want to use a theme icon, so it correctly changes if the theme changes, is thatt possible? [03:57] karsten, also I put chmod +x in between where I wanted to copy from and where I wanted to copy to, and it wasn't working [03:57] anyone knows what causes the wierd artifacts that flash in windows just as they are opened? [03:57] /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop includes 2 lines "Exec=gnome-terminal" and "TryExec=gnome-terminal". What is the function of the second? [03:57] caused bootup to crash a few times after I mess with the settings and run aticonfig [03:57] toastedmilk: ... which gets to be a pain. If you can avoid creating filenames with quotes and spaces, so much the better. [03:58] raevol: aliens. [03:58] karsten, hah :P [03:58] PeskyJ, ah, not that I'm aware of. I'm not too up on the theme abstraction of icons [03:58] okay dfsadf press escape [03:58] karsten, mark@ToastedMilk:~$ sudo cp "//media/ /Backups.backupdb/yans' apple/Latest/ /Users/YAWN/Music" /home/mark/Music [03:58] cp: omitting directory `//media/ /Backups.backupdb/yans\' apple/Latest/ /Users/YAWN/Music' [03:58] it's something i fixed a long time ago, but it's been a while since i fresh installed [03:58] ok [03:58] go to the line with Option FBDev true [03:58] oh, that may be why you were ignored... people help when they know how, and ati is not as common as nvidia and intel in terms of support here, you can always repeat your question periodically (all on one line, until someone bites) or post it at teh forum (or search there for your problem) [03:58] nickrud: perhaps there's a symlink somewhere that points to the theme and you can pick the correct one from there? [03:58] and press dd [03:58] toastedmilk: Oh dear sweet ogd. [03:58] (yes two ds [03:58] ok [03:59] anonident: ^^ [03:59] karsten, It's not my harddrive! Like I said they're his Time Machine backups. I just want the music! [03:59] it vanished... gasp [03:59] toastedmilk: That should work. [03:59] toastedmilk: Yeah, I know. [03:59] dd [03:59] go down to the section "screen", and tell me what it says for Device [03:59] PeskyJ, not that simple, sadly. if you look in /usr/share/themes, you'll see the generic theme icon names, but how that gets mapped is probably more complex than just symlinks [03:59] anonident: and sorry, i cant help [03:59] karsten, it brings back cp: omitting directory [03:59] karsten, the hell is it doing that for? [03:59] toastedmilk: '-R' for recursive copy. [03:59] "configured video device" [03:59] toastedmilk: cp does just files by default. [03:59] hi [03:59] im gonna put in a sd card.. how to prevent it from automounting? [03:59] karsten, so -R instead of cp ?? [04:00] can someone tell me how can i update xfce and fluxbox??? [04:00] toastedmilk: No. 'cp -R ' [04:00] where should I look to find a simple game (2d graphics) for ubuntu? I would like to make some native games [04:00] toastedmilk: man cp [04:00] okay, did your section device have a line with Identifier in it before our changes? [04:00] karsten, ty sir [04:00] why does pulseaudio suck? [04:00] PeskyJ, I'd ask that question on the forums. Someone may answer in a week or so. Maybe the mail lists also [04:00] anyone knows what causes the wierd artifacts that flash in windows just as they are opened? [04:00] !netsplit === LBSources- is now known as LBSources [04:00] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [04:00] scientes: Nothing sucks like a Vax. [04:00] ahahaha [04:00] toastedmilk: I'm out for the evening, have fun. [04:00] the init.d script doesnt do anything [04:01] seriouls [04:01] karsten, one sec. It brought back a blank line [04:01] freenode is crapping out tonight, huh? [04:01] karsten, nice to cross paths with you. See you about [04:01] nickrud: ok, I'm not registered there yet, completely new to ubuntu, and completely new to using window systems on linux too [04:01] raevol: I suspect it's flash changing video modes for video playback, though I'm not certain of that. [04:01] nickrud: only used linux on servers before [04:01] nickrud: Dittos. [04:01] puff: to recap, what does the ubuntu-client do, and what does the ubuntu-server do? [04:01] PeskyJ, understood. At least you have some grounding ;) [04:02] karsten, if its within the window and now the whole screen? same suspicion? [04:02] whats the newest version of ubuntu [04:02] i want to be nice [04:02] i been off it a few months lol, realized how much i hate windows [04:02] :)) [04:02] magic_ninja: 8.10 ibex [04:02] wtf [04:02] karsten, not* the whole screen [04:02] eh dfsafd [04:02] hm? [04:02] good nite everyone! off to bed [04:02] was there an Identifier in your section configured video device before [04:02] ubuntu 8.10 has comething different ? [04:03] we did our changes [04:03] what's new ? [04:03] karsten, I copied them successfully but still don't have the permissions [04:03] Dominik: Okay, here I'm a little vaguer because I haven't looked into ubuntu's thin-client stuff. Again, it's all about striking the balance as to what gets done where [04:03] how to disable automouunt? [04:03] raevol: I know. Xorg supports some interesting stuff, including the ability to do video streaming to only part of the screen. Some media players do a blue flash before they start displaying. [04:03] how to update xfce [04:03] toastedmilk: Perms how? [04:03] uhm the identifier is configured video device [04:03] karsten, thanks [04:03] how to update fluxbox [04:03] Is there any software similiar to tortoise SVN? [04:03] Dominik: From the looks of this wiki page, ubuntu runs the apps on the server. [04:03] for Ubuntu/ [04:03] in the section device [04:03] i search [04:04] dfsasdf [04:04] ? [04:04] I'm not too keen on this pidgin program for its IRC features.. is there a mIRC-like client for ubuntu? [04:04] kewoul [04:04] did it or not? [04:04] puff: so, from what you have explained so far, a think client wouldn't benefit from large amounts of ram and a fast CPU, correct? [04:04] what? [04:04] Dominik: X windows was one of the late period terminal emulation descendants; instead of shoving alphanumeric characters around, it was much more graphically oriented. [04:04] raevol: There's a guy "gravity" on #debian sometimes -- he's the xorg packager there. Might ask him about this sometime. I can't keep up. [04:04] oh [04:04] sorry [04:04] Dominik: Yes and no. I mean, *everything* benefits to some extent from more RAM and more CPU :-). [04:04] just saw what you wrote [04:04] ok, we're all good [04:04] type :wq [04:04] ah ok [04:05] PeskyJ, try xchat [04:05] karsten, thanks [04:05] done [04:05] back to console? [04:05] done [04:05] Dominik: But yeah, part of the idea is to minimize the importance of cpu/ram at the thin client end [04:05] good [04:05] raevol: if he gives you heck for running ubuntu, tell him I sent you ;-) [04:05] c'mon people doen't any one know how to update xfce? [04:05] now type exit [04:05] ok [04:05] haha ok [04:05] you should be back at your recovery console [04:05] gavagai: ok, will try it :) [04:05] yes [04:05] select resume [04:05] and pray [04:05] ok [04:05] lol [04:05] wow [04:05] what happened? [04:05] i will blow my minds off [04:06] Dominik: From what I can read here, ubuntu thin-client is really thin - they're basially only using the client machine to run the X windows GUI layer.. [04:06] !enter | dfsadf [04:06] dfsadf: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:06] puff: I still don't understand why HP sells "think clients" with 2 gigs o ram [04:06] Dominik: Because they can. [04:06] puff: so that be a dumb invenstment? [04:06] dfsadf what happened? [04:06] Dominik: Btw, a warning about a possibly confusing bit of terminology, which you shouldn't have to worry about but we're talking about X windows so it might crop up somewhere. [04:06] sorry about my enter key punctuation. :) it says to create a user so that you can use your new sustem type adduser USERNAME. its at a sort of console.. [04:06] bye world see u latter [04:06] type exit [04:07] how do i kill a Ssl process [04:07] puff: as in Microsoft X Windows? [04:07] ok [04:07] or [04:07] Dominik: The X Windows traditionally uses an on-the-face-of-it confusing usage of the "client/server" terminology. [04:07] wait [04:07] stop [04:07] Dominik: ohgodno. [04:07] karsten, It says I don't have permissions to view the folder. that's it [04:07] no [04:07] how to remove windows xp from comp [04:07] type your the user name you want [04:07] hi! [04:07] whoops. no, it restarted i typed exit. [04:07] karsten, cannot display the files of folder blah blah, you do not have the permissions necessary [04:07] poo [04:07] ok, fine [04:07] puff: lol, funny response [04:07] scientes: get the process id (ps waux | grep [s]sl), kill w/ 'kill -5 '. If that doesn't work, try kill -9. [04:07] boot it normally [04:07] Dominik: X windows has nothing to do with Microsoft, though I woudn't be surprised to hear they're (at last) offering an X window sprogram. [04:07] that was my bad [04:07] cllaudyu: you could format the partition it's on [04:07] toastedmilk: On the sources, or the stuff you've copied? [04:07] didn't fully read what ou said [04:07] what u guys think od obama [04:07] karsten, on what I've copied [04:07] find . \( -name Semester\ 5 -prune -or -name Semester\ 4 -or -prune -name Studium.old -prune \) -o \( -atime -1 -print \) will this skip the dirs "Semester 5", "Semester 4" and "Studium.old" and print all files with atime -1 from the other dirs? [04:07] OBAMANA [04:08] ok, apt-get _ __ packagename.deb to rip out a pkg? [04:08] riley: We think it's off-topic here. [04:08] dooo dooooo doo doo odoooooo [04:08] !offtopic | riley [04:08] riley: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:08] Obamahana [04:08] Dominik: x windows is just a super-glorified, graphically-oriented terminal emulator. [04:08] huh [04:08] anyways [04:08] hi! [04:08] um, weird. it says Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. [04:08] Oh [04:08] fine [04:08] Somebody else with my name. [04:08] okay. [04:08] white screen, y/n? [04:08] PeskyJ i could but how can i keep the files that are in? [04:08] Dominik: I mean, don't get me wrong, it kicks ass, but in logical terms, it's just another program that's trying to provide a thin abstraction layer between your CRT and some CPU. [04:08] karsten, is there some way to remove the permissions from terminal? [04:08] ok, apt-get _ __ packagename.deb to rip out a pkg? SDR please? [04:08] toastedmilk: You did run a 'sudo cp ...' right? [04:09] cllaudyu: copy the stuff you want to keep first [04:09] karsten, correct [04:09] hmm. no white crean. [04:09] toastedmilk: on the _destination_ tree: sudo chown -R . [04:09] Obama new president of Africa [04:09] so what does it say? [04:09] Can anybody help me with my emu10k problem? [04:09] !offtopic | cllaudyu [04:09] cllaudyu: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:09] cllaudyu, ummm wth are you doing? [04:09] toastedmilk: Recursively changes ownership to your user. Root preserved file ownerships when it copied. [04:09] puff: and we want abstraction so that the connection from client to server can be slower? [04:09] its still not ding [04:09] pulseaudio is compketely frozen [04:09] Dominik: X windows *can* be RAM-intensive, so it's not a horrible idea to have a thin client with lots of RAM. [04:09] cllaudyu, take that obammy crap outa here [04:09] its in low graphics mode but i AM on the desktop... hn [04:09] dfsadf: do we have success? [04:10] YES! [04:10] well [04:10] Dominik: So that a) less has to be sent over the connection and b) less has to be done on the server. [04:10] low graphics mode will have to wait [04:10] PeskyJ how can I copy if i have drivers full? [04:10] As you saw, the xorg.conf I had you copy was from debian, and isn't the best [04:10] Dominik: However, note that X Windows dates from at least the late 80s, probably mid-80s. [04:10] toastedmilk: tar is a utility you could have used to accomplish that in one step, research tar a bit. Basically: sudo tar cvf - | ( cd destination; tar xf - ) [04:10] and with your graphics card, you may not be able to run high graphics mode, but at least you can use your laptop! [04:10] cllaudyu: back-up to CD or DVD [04:10] puff: with a gigabit ethernet connection should that be fast enough for the server to draw my screen? [04:11] hmm. is there any way i could get to full graphics? [04:11] if you find you have problems with it, do a search for xorg.conf Intel X1300, and copy someone's if they say they have a good copy [04:11] toastedmilk: ... which creates the archive as root (so it has access permission) but unpacks it as yourself (so it creates files with your ownership), all in a pipeline. [04:11] toastedmilk: It's a classic sysadmin trick. [04:11] PeskyJ i guees i need 200 cd's or 50 dvds... [04:11] low graphics mode I believe is without the bells and whistles of Compiz (the thing that does wobbly windows and stuff lik ethat) [04:11] I have a dd-wrt router, it has a openVPN connection to my server , dd-wrt box and the server can communicate, When I try to connect from my lan to the remote server, packets only go one way for some reason. [04:11] karsten, with parentheses? or no [04:11] ok. [04:11] Dominik: one bit of confusing terminology - people think of "client/server" as client == dekstop, server==mainframe. That's often the case, but client/server defines *roles* in a *relationship*. In the X Windows world, the program that runs on the desktop is called the server. [04:11] toastedmilk: Yes, the parens start a subshell. [04:11] I seem to recall some time ago having used a program that allowed me to edit certain parts of xorg.conf graphically. In particular I remember being able to choose which graphics driver to use. What program might that have been? [04:11] in other words, you don't need it, but if you want it, that's another question and possibly another 4 hours [04:12] as for now, I have to go, but I'm glad I at least got you to a semi-working state [04:12] ahh I see... hmm! well thank you haha. [04:12] Dominik: Because the client requests services from the server and in the X windows world, the service is access to the user's attention span. [04:12] your welcome [04:12] later everyone [04:12] Dominik: Yes. [04:12] :) [04:12] karsten, can I do this locally or do I need to reinert the external? [04:12] cllaudyu: if you have that much data that you want to keep, then you might as well leave the windows partition as it is. You could delete the windows system files if you like to free up some space too [04:12] reinsert* [04:12] Dominik: Re: gigabit, yes. [04:12] toastedmilk: It's not something you want to do right now. [04:13] toastedmilk: Just a technique for future reference. [04:13] karsten, right before I hit enter [04:13] Dominik: Okay, I've got things to do... are you basically sorted out? [04:13] toastedmilk: chown will do you fro now. [04:13] toastedmilk: ;) [04:13] hi i have a few nfs exports /media/movies/, each are structured like /media/movies/MOVIENAME - how could i mount them all in a way so i see just the MOVIENAME directories in one folder [04:13] karsten, chown didn't work [04:13] PeskyJ that's what I want to do but if i can uninstall windows it would be great i'm wonderign how... [04:13] karsten, 'sudo chown -R mark'? [04:13] johnnyc: That's possible. I'm trying to recall the specifics. The OReilly NFS book covers that. [04:13] toastedmilk: sudo chown -R mark . [04:14] toastedmilk: The '.' is significant. [04:14] * lifestream asks: hello, my mouse music buttons no longer work. is there a way to restore them> [04:14] cllaudyu: well if you delete all the windows files and applications, and keep all your data files.. windows is not installed, so you don't need to uninstall it as such [04:14] toastedmilk: It means the current directory. [04:14] puff: lets say my "Server" (the one I dream about when I go to bed) has 16 cores, 16 gigabit ethernet connections and 64 megs of ram, does that mean I can virtually transform 16 P2s into 2 Ghz 4 GB mashines? [04:14] PeskyJ but windows will stil be able to be detected [04:14] Dominik: Something like that. [04:14] anyone pls help me [04:14] chown: missing operand after `mark' [04:14] toastedmilk: So: "chwon -R mark ." is the command [04:14] Dominik: I won't bother trying to work out actual performance numbers, but that's sorta the idea [04:14] toastedmilk: *WITH* the dot. [04:14] cllaudyu: how? you just have a drive with all your data files on it and nothing else [04:14] PaskyJ is not a great ideea... i tried this and nothing got right [04:15] karsten, OH! thankies [04:15] toastedmilk: Synopsis: chown [04:15] karsten, chown: cannot read directory `./Music': Permission denied [04:15] PeskyJ i just deleted all the windows and system32 files [04:15] toastedmilk: '.' == current working directory. '..' == parent [04:15] Dominik: However, bear in mind that this is mainly directed at making it cheaper to manage many desktops. [04:15] toastedmilk: With sudo? [04:15] Dominik: Google on "total cost of ownership" sometime. [04:15] oh, shit. [04:15] PeskyJ but i had errors to after that... [04:15] puff: so now we strike a blance between a terminal and a pc, so a thin-client must be written specifically for a range of resources in mind, where does the ubuntu thin client fit in, for how much ram/cpu was it written for? [04:15] * karsten WTFs. [04:15] cllaudyu: I think it should be easy enough to identify all your data files that you want to keep, then just remove EVERYTHING else [04:15] fff [04:16] karsten, Thank you thank you thank you! [04:16] karsten, but wait... >< all the files are locked [04:16] PeskyJ and wile rebooting windows will still pe prezent in the grub list i think [04:16] toastedmilk: ?? [04:16] Dominik: I don't really know, as I said, I haven't looked too specifically into ubuntu's thin-client stuff. [04:16] PeskyJ i'l try... [04:16] karsten, they're all read only files [04:17] cllaudyu: possibly, I'm sure you can change that though, there's probably a mbr in the partition too, I don't know how to remove that manually [04:17] I made some changes to the port in sshd_config, i've changed it into port 2222, now when i tried to connect through ssh, it wont let me in, what should i do so that i could login through ssh with port 2222? [04:17] toastedmilk: They're music files, right? mp3s or FLAC or something? [04:17] puff: but does it make sense that if I want to emply the ubuntu thin client then I should buy a bunch of clients that fit into that range of resources? [04:17] karsten, well folders with music in them [04:17] hightide: Restart/reload sshd [04:17] hightide: /etc/init.d/ssh reload [04:17] karsten, but the folders all come up as read only's without permissions [04:17] puff: or in other words it wouldn't make much sense to run the thin client on a 3 or 4 Ghz machine with 4 gigs of ram? [04:18] I want to download the madwifi driver for my Atheros wifi card, I am using Ubuntu 8.10 and T500, where can I get the exact driver [04:18] hightide: And test with "netstat -tplv". See where ssh is. [04:18] thanks karsten. [04:18] Question: What's the Ubuntu way of changing xorg.conf? I need a bit more control than dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg gives me, but I worry about directly editing. [04:18] Reilithion: $EDITOR [04:19] hello, i recently installed Ibex (32 bit) on my amd athlon 64 3200+ machine...due to my sata hard disk, i need to boot with pci=nomsi (else it won't detect my hdd) however, just before the login screen is rendered properly, my window freezes and i can only reset or unplug my box. any help? [04:19] PeskyJ i will search the net and try to find a better way to remove Windows and leave drivers cleanly but without windows i guess i can still mount ntfs drivers?? [04:19] Reilithion, backup is the word youre looking for [04:19] Reilithion: if you can't tweak it with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, just edit directly. [04:19] *shrugs* Ok. [04:19] Ok any of you guys know anything about vmware?? [04:19] PeskyJ i hope not to loose all that data... [04:19] SDR... [04:20] i'm using totem-xine and trying to watch a movie that is an avi, but the colors seem inverted or somthing, it worked fine earlyer, what would eb good to try ? [04:20] cllaudyu: yes, you can mount the drive still [04:20] sysdoc, np [04:20] no [04:20] Is ext4 considered stable now? [04:20] karsten: its working... thanks alot [04:20] metalfan_, if the ans is no, no need in answering [04:20] cllaudyu: if you can afford it, get a new hard drive and copy the stuff to there, then you can use whatever filesystem you like [04:20] hightide: NP [04:21] anyone -- what is a good laptop to install ubuntu on? [04:21] when i grep how do i ignore files ending in tilde??????? [04:21] xcerca, try a different movie, one where you are sure that its not faulty [04:21] For U it was rhetorical [04:21] PeskyJ only thing that bothers me, my webcam is not working on ubuntu... [04:21] sysdoc, your question was just utterly stupid [04:21] Dominik: Depends on what your priorities are. Like I said, google "total cost of ownership". For many organizations, the cost difference between a 2GHz, 1GB machine and 4GHz, 4GB machine is negligible compared to the total cost of managing and maintaining the machine. [04:21] metalfan_, what metal you hear? I am into Death and Gore. [04:21] cllaudyu: well I have no idea about that [04:21] dfsadf, any HP works well, except for the heating probs [04:21] PeskyJ well i can do that but i have allready enough hard drives [04:21] it's weird cuz i can watch the same movie in gnome-mplayer , but in totem-xine it's all wrong [04:22] yes, i have an HP and the reason i am getting a new laptop is because it heats up my entire root and overheats. [04:22] karsten: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused i have this error i'm sorry [04:22] faryshta, heavy metal - mostly. like: dream evil, ensiferum, metallica, rage, megadeth [04:22] * lifestream asks: hello, my mouse music buttons no longer work. is there a way to restore them> [04:22] metalfan_, cause it was obviously over your head, now please sit down and be quite [04:22] xcerca: have you download the w32codecs? [04:22] PeskyJ only thing i want to keep windows for is yahoo messenger... [04:22] when i grep how do i ignore files ending in tilde??????? [04:22] sysdoc, lol [04:22] :) [04:22] sysdoc, search for meta question on google [04:22] dfsadf, I have an Aspire (Acer) and all works perfectly. [04:22] Didn't need to install or hack anything. [04:22] !repeat > limecat [04:22] limecat, please see my private message [04:22] !repeat > lifestream [04:22] lifestream, please see my private message [04:22] !repeat > limecat [04:22] limecat: Sorry [04:22] TiMiDo , i've dled the w64codecs, let me see if i can install the w32codecs [04:22] metalfan_, so you are more into the classic stuff. [04:22] metalfan_, have vmware installed? [04:22] cllaudyu: this pidgin program in ubuntu seems to support yahoo messenger protocol [04:22] faryshta, yep [04:23] PeskyJ i don't know what to do... i can't find a better IM then pidgin === johnnyc is now known as jc44 [04:23] faryshta, was it fairly simple? no messing with video stuff or drivers for hours on end? [04:23] inktri: xcerca okey. [04:23] SDR [04:23] PeskyJ but pidgin supports webcams? [04:23] sysdoc, ask a question damnit, dont ask if somebody has xyz installed....ask what you want to know [04:23] hightide: You can't connect at :22 *or* :2222? [04:23] cllaudyu: no idea, I've only ever used it for IRC so far [04:23] I'm not sure linux is using my graphics card correctly. it's an ATI Radeon 9100 and in most games the graphics seem really slow. Even in the os some things seem to be off. Like when I drag a window around the screen it creates multiple copies of it. Can someone help me getting the right drivers in here? [04:23] dfsadf, I didn't install a video driver at all. [04:23] hmm. [04:24] I just run it, my card is an ATI Radeon Xpress. [04:24] hightide: I've *really* got to go. You can try killing the sshd server, launching it manually *nondaemon* mode: "sshd -dvv", then connecting: "ssh -vv localhost". Look at debug messages on both sides. [04:24] karsten: i'm sorry again, sorry for the dumb question.... i forgot to include -p [04:24] PeskyJ ok i'l think about what can i do...i'm out bye [04:24] karsten: its fully working now... [04:25] dose ubuntu have a power saver mode for my laptop? [04:25] puff: thanks alot : ) [04:25] karsten: thanks for your full support and much appreciated help [04:25] Dominik: You're welcome :-). [04:25] metalfan_, if you do not have it installed then answering any question regarding vmware is not for you. However to challenge you severe lack of decorum, I have just installed it and have not the pleasure of seeing the launcher in apps>sys tools>___ have ya got a clue? [04:25] Dominik: Just remember it the next time somebody asks you for help :-). [04:25] sysdoc, finally a question [04:26] hightide: NP. [04:26] hello, i recently installed Ibex (32 bit) on my amd athlon 64 3200+ machine...due to my sata hard disk, i need to boot with pci=nomsi (else it won't detect my hdd) however, just before the login screen is rendered properly, my window freezes and i can only reset or unplug my box. any help? [04:26] hello [04:26] sybariten, open a terminal, type vmw and hit tab multiple times... [04:26] /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop includes 2 lines "Exec=gnome-terminal" and "TryExec=gnome-terminal". What is the function of the second? [04:27] Anyone help with setting up ssh rsa keys and removing password authentication. I used keygen to create public and private keys. I copied the .pub key to client ubuntu box as ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. But, it reverts to password. I even checked the file permissions and set 644 [04:27] dougemd: http://linuxmafia.com/~karsten/Linux/FAQs/sshrsakey.html [04:27] metalfan_, and yet no answer... so again please sit down and be quite... [04:27] Just wanted to know if someone could help me out with checking a setup of a nvidia card - i have installed everything and all seems to work but when i open nvidia-settings i only see a few options - no dual screen options or anything like on my other system any ideas ? [04:27] dougemd, the .pub belongs on the server as authorized_keys [04:28] sysdoc, lol, your so lame [04:28] metalfan_, with that I can play age of empires? [04:28] I just created a data DVD on a windows machine and tried to transfer all of the files on it to my ubuntu machine...I got an error which I'll paste here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/68698/ Then, I can see the drive on the desktop, can open it, and can see the files inside, but I can't transfer them over or open them up. Can somebody point me in the right direction on this? Thanks in advance for your help. [04:28] Does anyone know how to fix : CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found. ? [04:28] Yea, but unlike your nick, I can actually pound out a tune on a 6 string and your still sitting wishing [04:29] RickZilla: how are you mount it? and have you download the package ntfs-3 ? [04:29] jamesxL: what are you compiling? [04:29] amarok nightly build [04:29] metalfan_, Yea, but unlike your nick, I can actually pound out a tune on a 6 string and your still sitting wishingrry had to addy it so you could read it [04:29] sweeeeeeeeeet [04:29] metalfan_: so the keygen takes place on the client machine? and the server needs a copy of the client.pub key to the server? [04:29] madwifi worked [04:29] haha [04:29] Hello. Are there rsync mirrors for Ubuntu releases so that I can try to recover a bad Intrepid download? [04:29] karsten: thank you for the link [04:29] damnit [04:29] that gets annoying [04:29] jamesxL: sudo apt-get install build-essential && sudo apt-get build-dep amarok [04:29] for an ftp server would it be best to use a udp PROTOCAL? [04:29] TiMiDo: It's an internal dvd drive...I don't know if I've downloaded ntfs-3 or not...is that readiliy available in Synaptic? [04:30] anyone know how to manually change mouse sensitivity in 8.10? [04:30] oh okey ic. RickZilla [04:30] i know it's there jrib [04:30] myr: xset IIRC [04:30] jamesxL: you know *what* is there?

[04:31] I wanted to see if nightly added touch 2g support [04:31] repo amarok doesn't work [04:31] bimberi: ahh, thanks [04:31] Hm, anybody want to help me with DNS for iwasaround.com? [04:31] sysdoc, and jrib, the settings don't allow my mouse to go fast enough [04:31] why doesnt sudo apt-get update install works [04:31] jamesxL: I don't understand how your responses are related to my suggestion [04:31] The popup which offered restricted nvidia drivers isn't showing up anymore. I'm in synaptic, have searched for "nvidia", and wondering what to install. I have a Geforce 7950 GX2. [04:31] when moving windows around on the screen there seems to be tearing? how can I get the graphics to work correctly. I've got an ATI Radeon 9100 [04:31] neither does sudo apt-get install build-essential works [04:31] karsten, http://linuxmafia.com/~karsten/Linux/FAQs/sshrsakey.html <- the default file the key is saved to is name with "identity" here....might confuse most users [04:31] It appears to be on the server, I see it in ispconfig and in /etc/bind, but dig and host get a fail. [04:31] Kengine: pastebin what you are running and the output [04:32] TiMiDo: A lot of files come up when I search for ntfs-3...do I install any of those? [04:32] myr, sensitivity> [04:32] RickZilla: make some mountpoints in your home directory like this: mkdir disk1 disk2 disk3 disk4 and mount it /dev/sda1 /home/username/disk1 ext2 defaults 0 2 [04:32] RickZilla: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3 [04:32] "sudo apt-get install build-essential && sudo apt-get build-dep amarok" installs and compiles nightly build? [04:32] jamesxL: no [04:32] !who | jamesxL [04:32] jamesxL: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [04:32] Q: Is it possible not to show icons on the desktop? (just the wallpaper) Thanks [04:32] dougemd, the link from karsten will work, but try this one if it doesnt: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1810 [04:32] !icons | K_Dallas [04:32] K_Dallas: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (GNOME) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE) [04:32] metalfan_: Sorry, what is it in doc and what should it be? [04:33] K_Dallas: disable show_desktop in gconf [04:33] thanks jrib [04:33] jrib, says E:couldnt find package update :( [04:33] Aha, maybe ... yes. Found a listing with some. Thanks somian[0]! You rock. ;) [04:33] !tab [04:33] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [04:33] Kengine: please do what I said so I can help you [04:33] !tab jrib [04:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about tab jrib [04:33] metalfan_: id_rsa and id_rsa.pub now, right? [04:33] Anyone know if it's feasible to fake a bind request via telnet? [04:33] o_O [04:33] karsten, thank you [04:33] karsten, doc: ssh-keygen saves the key als identity. i believe it uses id_rsa as the default [04:33] metalfan_: Right. Fixing. [04:34] !pastebin | Kengine [04:34] Kengine: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:34] Or is there any way to query the running bind process and see its list of domains (other than simply looking in /etc/bind, because I see it in /etc/bind, but not in dig)? [04:34] jrib, wait 1 sec lemme switch to tat machine [04:35] jrib do you know how to fix my problem? [04:35] jamesxL: I gave you a suggestion to fix your problem. Did you do it? [04:35] metalfan_: Give that a re-read. Should be fixed. [04:36] metalfan_: I think the one other dumb thing I might be messing up. Where do I store the .pub file on the remote computer. In my home/user or /etc/ssh ? [04:36] when I have both my PC connected via wireless and also through ethernet, Ubuntu uses the ethernet connection as the default. how can I make wireless my default connection? [04:37] the7thmagus1-> you have two nics connecting to same router? [04:37] hello, i recently installed Ibex (32 bit) on my amd athlon 64 3200+ machine...due to my sata hard disk, i need to boot with pci=nomsi (else it won't detect my hdd) however, just before the login screen is rendered properly, my window freezes and i can only reset or unplug my box. any help? [04:37] no. I have my wlan0 connected to a wireless router, which shares connection with the ethernet through NAT [04:38] wow, GParted has gotten much better since Hardy [04:38] what is a good file recovery program to use in ubuntu? [04:39] the7thmagus1-> which router is doing that NAT'ing? [04:39] Venin: You've had the answer to that already. [04:39] !recover | Venin [04:39] Venin: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [04:39] how do i know whether to use ntfs or ntfs-3g to automount in /etc/fstab? [04:39] BoltClock: Use ntfs-3g. [04:39] !netsplit [04:39] the7thmagus1-> to me you have two nics connecting to same router per your description [04:39] can i update ubuntu while offline ? [04:39] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [04:39] actually, sorry, I am not sure if it is NAT. I used IP masquerading [04:39] Dabbu: you can use the alternate cd [04:39] not the same thing, I suppose [04:39] can someone please help me with an installation question [04:39] Dabbu: If you download the packages first, or the alternate CD, yes. [04:39] karsten: what should i type under options? [04:40] the7thmagus1-> to me you have two nics connecting to same router per your description [04:40] please pm me if you are free....thanks [04:40] BoltClock: That depends. I'd suggest reading some ntfs-3g docs for that. [04:40] Flannel: i have 8.10,i want to keep 8.10 upto date [04:40] Could I get some help mounting a drive? [04:40] Dabbu: You can download the packages while you're online, and then install them when youre offline. [04:40] RickZilla-> make man pages your friend, man mount [04:40] BoltClock: ntfs-3g is apparently *much* better than the older ntfs driver. I don't use either myself. [04:40] RickZilla: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [04:41] hmm, ok. actually, let's start from scratch. I want to share my wireless connection with my Xbox 360, which is connected to my ethernet. how best to do this without any additional hardware? [04:41] can i have help installing ibex [04:41] jrib: I thought that's what I did? [04:41] please...beginner question [04:41] Flannel: i have 200 updates...how can i download and update indivisual package [04:41] how do you reconfigure the X keyboard settings in intrepid? [04:41] the7thmagus1-> describe the network layout you intend to have [04:41] Dabbu: sudo apt-get install package [04:41] running hardy right now [04:41] Ok, I'll try to ask what I asked before... [04:42] thank you guys for the help that cleared it up! [04:42] RickZilla-> make man pages your friend, man mount [04:42] RickZilla: "Could I get some help mounting a drive?" isn't a good question. No one understands your issue, what you tried, what exactly didn't work and how, what type of drive, etc...

[04:43] RickZilla: *that's* a question :) Unfortunately, I've not seen that before [04:43] the7thmagus1-> are you the same guy wanting to bridge the ethernet port and ask for an ip from AP (neighbor AP) right? [04:43] Venin: There are many fairy tales people turn to in times of hardship for comfort. [04:43] Venin: That doesn't make them true. [04:43] can someone willing to help a beginner with an easy question please pm me...i would really appreciate it [04:44] Venin: Your file is gone. [04:44] Venin: Get used to it. [04:44] n8tuser: no, that must be some other guy. I never asked that before here [04:44] the7thmagus1-> what is the reason for the bridging? [04:44] Venin: If you've got a copy somewhere, a printout, etc., you can type it in again. Otherwise it's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone. [04:44] nice scroll [04:44] can someone willing to help a beginner with an easy question please pm me...i would really appreciate it [04:45] fella12: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [04:45] karsten: you sure? seems logical [04:45] oh ok [04:45] fella12-> stay on the main channel, so others can share the knowledge [04:45] fella12, with a nick like that, i dunno [04:45] now i'm aroused [04:45] karsten: will the wrong options corrupt my disk?

[04:48] !ask | strider_ [04:48] Perhaps a stupid question, but can one 'downgrade' a system from x86_64 to plain ole 32 bit? [04:48] strider_: 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. :-) [04:48] fella12, yea you are probably reading it wrong or havent repartitioned the drive yet [04:48] but my nvidia-settings shows me very few options [04:48] !ask | stinger_ [04:48] !ics | the7thmagus1 [04:48] stinger_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

It will automatically setup your ntfs partitions [04:48] you need to reinstall the system in case you want to change the architecture [04:49] alright, thanks [04:49] In /usr/share/applications I added to the line 'Exec=gnome-terminal' the text " --geometry=105x68". This works when I click Applications > Accesories > Terminal. Why does it not work wehn I press Ctrl+Alt+T? [04:49] karsten, yeah sorry about that only thing my res is so stuffed atm that its hard to see what i am typing if i do it all on one line [04:49] Vlet: No. [04:49] I just created a data DVD on a windows machine and tried to transfer all of the files on it to my ubuntu machine...I got an error which I'll paste here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/68698/ Then, I can see the drive on the desktop, can open it, and can see the files inside, but I can't transfer them over or open them up. Can somebody point me in the right direction on this? Thanks in advance for your help. [04:49] jrib: will check it out. before reinstalling hardy (yes i reinstalled) i only edited /etc/fstab except i forgot to back it up [04:50] should i be using the -generic kernel on a dual-core processor? [04:50] upgraded to intrepid and now my X keyboard configuration is borked [04:50] MasterShrek: yes [04:50] the left arrow key is alt [04:50] MasterShrek: I believe SMP is enabled by default, yes. [04:50] the up arrow key is NoSymbol [04:51] k, thx [04:51] my problem is that when i try to install ibex on hardy it says that i do not have enough hardrive space and states i only have 850 megs free...but when i go to the hardrive i have over 100 gigs....any idea? am i reading something wrong? [04:51] erikg: lol nice [04:51] the windows key is NoSymbol [04:51] erikg: i've seen that issue a couple of times (unless you were here before). Try checking bugs.ubuntu.com for an open bug [04:51] RickZilla-> when burning cd or dvd you have to allow the Rockridge format so it can be read from other OS [04:51] jrib: great [04:51] jrib: will do [04:51] fella12: whats your partitioning scheme like? [04:52] erikg: one possible workaround would be to revert to your old xorg.conf for the keyboard setup or just make hal not use evdev for your keyboard (that's my guess) [04:52] just a quick question. Is anyone else here having problems with compiling programs from source specifically with the "make" command on 8.10? I've tried 3 separate programs today and they've all had tons of errors and warnings on make. [04:52] jrib: ntfs-config seems to only deal with enabling write support for my ntfs drive. im looking to automount it [04:52] jrib: reconfiguring xorg.conf didn't work [04:53] jrib: hal is behaving like a certain computer which they once sent to one of the moons of jupiter [04:53] where is md5 in sleutkit? [04:53] erikg: not reconfiguring. Use your old one and add the right option so it's used for configuring input devices (man xorg.conf, search for hal) [04:53] * erikg shakes club [04:53] BoltClock: ntfs-config will set it up to be automounted [04:53] man 5 xorg.conf contains no mention of hal [04:53] pangloss...i am not sure as i installed a while ago [04:53] jrib: ohhh, i just saw, thanks [04:53] pangloss - how do i check and or chage it [04:54] RickZilla-> and maybe even include Joliet format too [04:54] erikg: are you on intrepid? [04:54] yes [04:54] erikg: it's there [04:54] hi everyone [04:54] jrib: Hal? [04:54] HAL?

[04:56] I installed 8.10 on my eeepc and would like to try using Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but am having trouble figuring out how. Resources on the internet with clear explanations seem to be lacking. I tried first just installing the package netbook-launcher. Nothing seemed to happen. When I try to launch netbook-launcher directly, I get a ghosted view of what it should look like. I found https://launchpad.net/netbook-remix and tried adding the [04:56] special repository and installing all the packages, but I'm still in the same boat. [04:56] Ok, I'll try this again...my dvd drive works just fine, I can play a commercial dvd in it...I tried to make a data dvd on a windows machine, and ubuntu is telling me that the drive won't mount. I can see the drive on the desktop, but can't open the files inside...can somebody help me with this? Thanks in advance for your help. [04:56] fella12: dont type in a $..... [04:56] pangloss: i typed $df -h in terminal and it says bash: -h: command not found [04:56] fella12: $ signifies bash prompt [04:56] RickZilla-> when burning cd or dvd you have to allow the Rockridge and Joliet format so it can be read from other OS [04:56] jrib: 2:1.4.1 [04:56] fella12: just type in df -h [04:57] erikg: yep, you're right about being on the old X server [04:57] jrib: i'm dist-upgrading now [04:57] * brantlymedders is away: Bed!

[04:59] jrib: I thought it is a default shortcut. I am using ist for years in Ubuntu to call a GNOME terminal. [04:59] bullgard4: find where you set it [04:59] fella12: looks like you've use 99% of your root partition [04:59] fella12-> your / is 99% only 322megs left [05:00] how do i check the total size of teh actual hardrive? its much bigger than that [05:00] gaintsura, not really.. U upgrading?? [05:01] fella12-> sudo fdisk -l [05:01] fella12: df -h [05:01] n8tuser: I see that it's a standard, but I don't see how to apply it to my situation [05:01] fella12: .. also /proc/partitions. fdisk -l is another. [05:01] RickZilla-> your burn may not be compatible or readable in ubuntu..so make sure its formatted with Rockridge and Joliet [05:01] no, paranoid... I lost my work drive last weekend, spent 3 days and got only the files I need [05:02] jrib: I set it using System > Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > (Keyboard Shortcuts) > Desktop > Run a Terminal. [05:02] its a 160 gb hardrive...where is all the rest? [05:02] fella12: to resize it use gparted [05:02] !gparted | fella12 [05:02] fella12: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [05:03] when i get gparted what eaxctly do i do? [05:03] how do I mount my windows vista partition? [05:03] is there an automatic way to do it? [05:03] fella12: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/manpage.php === Gods_gift is now known as coppa [05:04] palomer: yes, with fstab [05:04] bullgard4: well I don't offhand how that decides what to run. The easy workaround is to just use xbindkeys to bind your shortcut. The hard way is to download the source and see exactly how it works. Maybe dig around gconf as well [05:04] isn't there some kind of easy app? [05:04] palomer: places? [05:04] i installed it using terminal but it doesnt come up in the application window [05:04] so I accidentally ran while [ 1 ]; do beep; done; for about 30 seconds [05:04] bullgard4: oh, maybe system -> preferences -> preferred applications? [05:04] n8tuser: So I do that on dvd burning end, on my windows machine? [05:04] how long is it going to beep for? [05:04] man i am horrible at this...sorry guys [05:04] RickZilla-> yes in the burning end [05:04] fella12: lol its ok [05:04] hello how can I allow gnome to enable png-Icons? [05:05] aha, xirc seems a bit nicer than pidgin :) [05:05] palomer: there may be, but generally its automatic--so if its not automatically mounting, either A) something messed up, and editing /etc/fstab is a good place to start looking, or B) youre not shutting down properly [05:05] n8tuser: What if it isn't? I can't use the dvd's burnt on that machine? [05:05] when i try to install a theme [18144.418275] gnome-appearanc[28974]: segfault at 0 ip b77a333f sp bff9fc40 error 4 in libpango-1.0.so.0.2201.0[b7778000+40000] [05:05] should I install any GTK+ engine for that? [05:05] PeskyJ: what do you like about xirc? [05:05] fella12: if you download the iso, you can burn it to a disk and boot off of it like a live cd, then you can resize your partitions very easily [05:05] my burner is broken :( [05:06] any help for ubuntu newb? [05:06] RickZilla-> it may not be readable to other OS, so google for how your windows burning application can make it readable to other OS [05:06] temppy, it aligns up the start of conversation on the left, it nicely colourises messages for me [05:06] punktalk: whats up === coppa is now known as Gods_gift [05:06] temppy, not sure what else yet, First time ever using it :) [05:06] n8tuser: Thanks for the help, that points me in the right direction === mike is now known as Guest10041 [05:06] PeskyJ: are you talking about xchat?

[05:08] PeskyJ: (Im totally addicted to pidgin btw, so Im always curious why people like other tools better) [05:08] no didnt show up there [05:08] good night, I'm not being able to see text on some dialog boxes, neither in wine [05:08] I've checked my theme [05:08] the appdb generally has some good tips on dealing with wine issues [05:08] does anyone know how to grow a Wubi partition? [05:08] pangloss: its not there [05:08] hm... [05:08] pangloss: do i have to update to show it in application window [05:08] will check [05:08] thanks limecat [05:08] ? [05:09] jrib: Ah, yes: system -> preferences -> preferred applications (> Preferred Applications) > System > GNOME Terminal > Command shows greyed out: "gnome-terminal" (without my added option). How can I change this greyed out value? [05:09] I have installed Intrepid on my eeepc and installed netbook-launcher. How do I make it supplant the normal user interface? [05:09] temppy, well for IM I'm sure pidgin is great... but for IRC the online/offline status doesn't seem to make the same sense, also I couldn't do like /leave and things in pidgin, it didn't seem to have the same context of a server with lots of channels, more like a separate "chat" [05:09] limecat: warcraft III is on their 'platinum list', says should run perfectly right out of the box. but the same thing happened when i tried to open it regularly, says part of the memory was referred to x0000000 and couldn't be read [05:09] limecat, I thought you were answering me [05:09] froduntu: oh, was talking to punk, but glad it helped :D [05:09] lol [05:09] well, it didn't yet [05:10] fella12: no, the best you can do is command line then [05:10] punktalk: couple of things--some games need to run in opengl mode, make sure you have graphics drivers, make sure you have a recent wine [05:10] fella12: the only way I know to use gparted is with a livecd of it [05:10] how do i do command line [05:10] fella12: otherwise you have to unmount your filesystems and things like that [05:11] fella12: open a terminal and type in$ man gparted [05:11] limecat try to install cedega to run WarcraftIII [05:11] bullgard4: just use custom [05:11] feng14: punktalk is the one with warcraft :) im just trying to help him [05:11] pangloss i did that [05:11] now hat [05:11] punktalk: check if your using 3d-enabled driver for your card, and use winehq's version [05:11] anyways, if wines having issues, cedega possibly will too, and i think it costs money [05:11] limecat: alright man thanks. im not too familiar with the ubuntu/linux system so idrk what opengl mode is =P but ill do my drivers [05:12] people I've got some problems [05:12] jrib: I do not understand what do you mean by "custom"? [05:12] I can't see text in wine [05:12] tech0007: ok thanks [05:12] bullgard4: from the drop down menu that now says "GNOME Terminal", choose "Custom" [05:12] froduntu: is ur color system inverted or anything? used to happen to me [05:12] !wine [05:12] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [05:12] for example when I run winecfg it just shows me the dissabled text [05:12] limecat, A e, i have made a mistake [05:12] <_cb> What does windows have over Ubuntu beside games? [05:12] hm [05:13] no I have the regular ubuntu theme [05:13] punktalk: i run world of warcraft, and i have to specify "gxapi = Opengl" in a config file to get it to run properly [05:13] _cb: BSOD ? [05:13] I could perhaps change themes temporarily [05:13] but yes, i would check in #winehq [05:13] <_cb> Not sure what BSOD is [05:13] can you specify desktop icons to only appear on one of the desktops? [05:13] how do you do that? [05:13] fella12: find a friend with a cd burner =/ [05:14] limecat: haha i have no idea what that means but ill give it a shot. total newb just started ubuntu today. [05:14] limecat, what do you mean when you say check in #winehq? [05:14] ohhh sorry you mean the chanel [05:14] the irc channel [05:14] gotcha [05:14] thanks [05:14] _cb: blue screen of death...linux has the black screen lol [05:14] jrib: I still do not understand: The drop-down menu Applications > Accessories does not include a menu item "Custom". [05:14] ok...haha...by the way...how is the new ubuntu ibex? anyone think its worth the upgrade [05:14] punktalk: dont worry bout the opengl so much, make sure you have video drivers though, do you have an nvidia card? [05:15] n8tuser: My file system on the burner is ISO + Joliet, is that good enough? [05:15] bullgard4: no. The drop down menu in System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications [05:15] fella12: are you happy with hardy? [05:15] fella12: ive had fewer issues (ie, none) with ibex than any other ubuntu [05:15] and the wallpaper is fantastic :3 [05:15] What's the polite way to kill X and save the current gnome session? [05:15] limecat: just download the wallpaper and use it in hardy =P [05:15] its ok...i must admit that it's a lil slow and sometimes glitchy....and terrible at running youtube/flash in general [05:16] fella12: adobe's fault -- revert to flash 9 [05:16] pangloss: that would be creating an abomination :( hardy with the head of ibex? [05:16] fella12: intrepid isnt any better [05:16] hm no response in #winehq [05:16] but I'll keep trying [05:16] limecat: its alive!!! [05:16] thanks fellow penguins [05:16] froduntu: wait, i was talkin to punktalk [05:16] what was your issue' [05:17] hope u guys dont hate me but i feel my mac is more stable than ubuntu [05:17] <_cb> Ubuntu installation was easier than XP, from what I have read Open Office is pretty close to MS Office. Had to drop to command line to get sound on flash but not terribly difficult. Have been using Ubuntu only 2 days but am wondering why isn't it more popular than it is. [05:17] limecat: yeah nvidia. geforce 8600 gts [05:17] fella12: thats possibly true, but compiz is possibly cooler than mac so there [05:17] Hello! I have an issue that seems to have arisen. When mousing over the minimize, maximize, close buttons in GNOME, the bar goes all screwy, changing colors and buttons disappearing. [05:17] What can be done about this>? [05:17] that is true....running compiz [05:17] is there CLI command to completely and permanently kill the screesaver? Ive tried the GUI way and it keeps turning on every 30 mins [05:17] !bash > me [05:17] '>' isn't a number! [05:17] dig, please see my private message [05:18] fella12: ubuntu = free, mac = expensive [05:18] punktalk: have you gone into restricted driver manager and enabled the nvidia driver? [05:18] it looks nice no doubt there....thinking about turning this into a hackintosh...anyone done this [05:18] fella12: not bad for free huh? [05:18] im actually still downloading the driver. i totally forgot XD. been away from the comp from a couple of months and decided to start fresh with ubuntu. [05:18] fella12: compiz is nice, so long as you keep ahold of your config...nothin worse than spending 2 hours making it perfect and then losing it in a harddrive wipe [05:19] punktalk: :D thats probably what it is then [05:19] true [05:19] I should specify- I'm running 8.10 [05:19] limecat: compiz is broke in intrepid for nvidea, drive doesn't work =/ [05:19] anyone install mac osx on a dell [05:19] Hi! Please help me. I have a problem with F-spot. Thumbnails of my photos appear but when I click on a photo, only the 'icon' for the photo appears. Also, when I tried using Fullscreen view or slideshow, the photos do not appear. :( [05:20] jrib: Now it works. -- Thank you very much for your help. [05:20] pangloss: yea, somethins wierd with either the 177 nvidia drivers, or compiz, it causes me to lose text in bash [05:20] !network | RHorse [05:20] RHorse, please see my private message [05:20] fella12: That's a violation of the Apple EULA. Unfortunately, it can not be discussed here. [05:21] oh sorry [05:21] i got rid of f-spot, in favor of picasa3 [05:21] pangloss: not it isn't. [05:21] one last question [05:21] no, not not >.< [05:21] hi, I have this: find -name .wget-list -execdir download.bash ';' -----> It complains that it cannot find download.bash [05:21] thomasite: open the image in fspot, and then drag the window bigger; then in the bottome right move the slider bar to the right [05:21] anyone get a google android phone [05:21] RAdams: pretty sure youre allowed to install other os's on the mac--so long as OSX is installed on a REAL mac [05:21] dig: #bash [05:21] i think "hackintosh being illegal" is when its OSX on a pc, not linux on a mac :) [05:21] RAdams: yes, it is... theres a bug filed on launchpad and nvidea is working on it [05:21] it doesn't work, pangloss. no image appears. only a gray rectangle, an icon--probably--for photos. [05:22] so the Wubi docs say I need LVPM but there's not a 8.10 version out [05:22] think GParted will work? [05:22] encrypted directories... in nautilus there's an "encrypt" option if you right-click, does that encrypt the directory and leave it there, or does it mount it to an encrypted directory? [05:22] tech0007, is picasa really really better than f-spot? i haven't tried that one yet. :) [05:22] limecat: no, I assure you, OS X is not licensed for use on any machine except a mac. he was asking how to get osx on a dell [05:22] thomasite: right click on photo you want to open and select fspot to open it [05:22] Can someone help me out with my volume? doesnt seem to be as loud as it used to be now with the newest version of Ubuntu. [05:22] So, does anyone know about the bug for the title bar of windows? With the colors going screwy when you mouseover the minimize/close buttons? [05:22] RAdams: oh, oops, i musta been talkin to someone else [05:22] thomasite: it still doesnt open right now? [05:22] any google g1 android phone users out there [05:22] Rimdar_Klall, same thing here, only when I maximize firefox [05:23] was under the impression he was tryin to do ubuntu on a mac [05:23] thomasite: more functional than f-spot. you can try it w/out removing f-spot [05:23] fella12, right here === djhash_ is now known as djhash [05:23] fella12, and I love it :) [05:23] hey guys what is the time format that i need to turn this military time clock on my kde to regular 12 hour reading? [05:23] Ah, It seems to be primarily on non-maximized windows for me [05:23] After_Math: I too have that sound issue, haven't figured it out yet though [05:24] !love > RHorse [05:24] RHorse, please see my private message [05:24] After_Math: im damn too lazy [05:24] how do I generate a reinstallable script of installed items? [05:24] Rimdar_Klall: you running compiz? [05:24] !kubuntu | olskolirc [05:24] olskolirc: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [05:24] tech0007, strange though, It worked in the last version now its all screwy [05:24] limecat: I don't think so? I have GNOME. [05:25] After_Math: weird thing is, only happen when i'm watching videos, rhythmbox's fine [05:25] Rimdar_Klall: compiz is special effects on your desktop--like wobbly windows, or minimize/maximize effects. You can check under system-->preferences-->appearance-->visual effects [05:25] pangloss: it defeats the purpose of viewing many photos at one glance and choosing one from among the many. i mean, i use f-spot to take a look at all the photos at one time and then choose the best from them. if i have to view photos individually, it'd take me a lot of time. :( [05:25] if its set to anything other than "none", you are using compiz [05:25] thomasite: does it work that way though? [05:25] after-math its nice huh? [05:25] tech0007: okay, i'll try downloading it. [05:25] Ah. Yes, I tried it on the full-on setting, and had the problem, and still have it on the 'some" setting. [05:25] lemme try disabling it. [05:25] tech0007, ya same here. Now I am starting to think it might be the player? are your movies dvdripped? [05:25] try none [05:25] after-math i am just watiing for some seriously needed programs [05:26] What's the polite way to kill X and save the current gnome session? [05:26] yes, pangloss. does this mean f-spot can't handle that rather large number of photos? [05:26] thomasite: you'll loveit [05:26] ubuntu is quite frustrating...... [05:26] I actually re-installed F-spot but it didn't work. [05:26] after-math : expected them to come out a lot faster [05:26] RAdams: restart? [05:26] Did anyone notice that compiz does not use the proper settings after today's update? [05:26] Well scratch my back and call me grandma, disabling effects done fixed that lil' rascal. [05:26] thomasite: f-spot's pathetic [05:26] RAdams: would setting a preference in sessions to save your session, then doing a ctrl-alt-backspace do it? [05:26] Thanks, limecat!!! [05:26] Here's a good one. I'm trying to set up my Dell IR receiver on com2. When LIRC starts up, my system completely freezes. [05:27] * Rimdar_Klall awards limecat with 30 Winpoints. [05:27] thomasite: when you open fspot, did you click photo>>import [05:27] Rimdar_Klall: compiz sometimes messes things up, not sure why, but check the compiz channel [05:27] thomasite: and import the folder you have with photos? [05:27] Is it #compiz ? [05:27] RHorse: ok, slightly less polite. :| limecat: I don't typically want the session saved, just on this occasion, and I want it all triggered from a bash script with no user interaction [05:28] RAdams: beyond me, although i wonder if it wouldnt be possible to do a session save and monitor from a console what files are saved [05:28] and possibly deduce what needs to be done from there [05:28] punktalk, why do you find ubuntu frustrating? [05:28] so I've been using the Compiz control panel because I wanted extra effects [05:28] limecat: seems like setting that option would set a flag somewhere that can be triggered by a command or at least using sed with the right file [05:28] how come the GNOME apperance settings turns off the effects? [05:29] pangloss, no i didn't. stupid i. :D [05:29] So, I installed ubuntu, all good, then I installed windows like a few months later, and its written over the boot loader for ubuntu (or so I'm assuming), can I use the ubuntu disk to sort of 'repair' my old instalation and keep this windows one? [05:29] and then when I turn them on, it eats my settings! [05:29] !enter | neoice [05:29] I'll try Picasa later today, tech0007. [05:29] neoice: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:29] RAdams: i bet its in gconf, but ive never found out where gconf saves its settings (.gvfs or something?) [05:29] thomasite: not stupid =P [05:29] so helpful. [05:29] So I have to import these photos first before I can actually view them? [05:30] Aaargh. All the while I was thinking that since thumbnails of those photos already appear on F-spot, I could just click them and do my job. [05:30] i wonder if theres some tool like filemon for winXP that you can use on linux to monitor file access... [05:30] Just switched to ubuntu today and I'm really liking the tabbed ui in nautilus [05:30] limecat: yeah some of it is in the gconf virtual file system, .gvfs, other parts are in other files. I'll see if I can dig out what happens during a session save [05:30] limecat: yes, read the atime on an ext3 partition :o [05:30] seems like encfs and fuse is the way to go for encrypted directories [05:30] RAdams: if this were a weekend id be tempted to spend the next 4 hours working on this thing with you :D [05:31] and what do you mean atime? [05:31] Okay. First, the explanation: I have a system with 3 hard drives. We'll call them hard drives 1, 2, 3. Windows XP is installed on hard drive 1. HD2 is a mass storage drive. HD1&2 sit on the IDE cable (yes, people still use those). HD3 is on a cable with the DVDR, and has been a multiple use drive. At present, it is being used to test Ubuntu. [05:31] neoice: it's equally unhelpful when you use many lines to ask a question in a support channel with 1000+ people in it. If you want support, do what the bot said, please [05:31] question though, do you have to manually unmount the visible directory or will logging out be enough? [05:31] PeskyJ: crypkeeper. [05:31] radams: every time I come in here, I get no support anyways, so why bother? /part [05:31] For the testing, HD 1 & 2 were unplugged and HD3 was plugged in as the primary drive. I would now like to put all three together, but need to know how to setup the multiboot to allow XP or Ubuntu (temporarily) and to know how Ubuntu will handle these 2 extra NTFS drives showing up. [05:31] And also, here's another, serious problem. When I had 8.04, shutting down my laptop was easy. Now that I have 8.10, it doesn't work most of the time. Either it takes long to shut down or it doesn't shut down at all (and I'm forced to press the power button, which is very, very dangerous.) [05:31] i just did 'locate gconf' its all over the place lol [05:32] tech0007: picasa can't be found using synaptic, no? i have to download it manually from google? === patrick is now known as Guest91628 [05:32] Can anyone tell me what I need to do? [05:32] theres a .deb for it [05:32] DUHN DUHN DUHN [05:33] billybigrigger: im having a bit of trouble trying to download my video card driver [05:33] limecat: atime is the access time of file records, recorded as part of ext3's journaling this has been deprecated for ubuntu recently in favor of relatime. for more info, the wikipedia article on ext3 is pretty decent [05:33] tech0007, is that a front-end to encfs and fuse? or a front end to encrypting and decrypting files as needed? [05:33] BABBY [05:33] Hilton: i can tell you life would have beeneasier if you had the other drives plugged in during the install [05:33] thomasite: picasa.google.com [05:33] thomasite: open this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-8.10-p3 [05:33] thomasite: on the picasa 3 download page get the .deb file [05:33] but generally ubuntu will just automount the ntfs partitions [05:33] PeskyJ: its a front end to encfs and fuse [05:33] thomasite: scroll down to 10, it will tell you everything to do [05:34] tech0007, awesome :) [05:34] limecat: Done for safety reasons. I've had too may testing OS's in the past screw up or wipe drives or mess with bootloaders they never should have touched. [05:34] I suppose I could reinstall again... [05:34] RAdams: ah, thats not what i meant, this is filemon: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896642.aspx [05:34] basically, shows every file access, allows filtering by process, path, action, etc [05:34] thanks pangloss im out [05:34] Can anyone assist with vmware? [05:35] one of sysinternals best programs :P [05:35] sysdoc: #vmware [05:35] I'm using torrentflux-b4rt, and after the update to ubuntu 8.10, it no longer displays the download speed when I download something using wget, how can I get it to show the speeds again? [05:35] RAdams, been ther done that [05:35] Okay, thanks! [05:35] no one........ [05:35] But as regards the problem of shutting down the laptop...:D [05:35] Hilton: ubuntu wont touch ntfs drives that it thinks it could damage (marked dirty, etc), and i dont believe it will screw up anything unless you ask it to [05:36] limecat: I know what filemon is, and if you read the atime of file records, you could get the same information :) [05:36] !virtualbox | sysdoc [05:36] sysdoc: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

[05:37] RAdams: how would you get those? ls and grep or something? [05:37] pangloss, server [05:37] limecat: Okay. Next question: Can the Ubuntu installer be trusted to partition an NTFS drive? [05:37] After_Math: yo [05:37] tech0007, I got the fix [05:38] guys: 𝑺𝑼𝑷 𝑮𝑼𝒀𝑺 [05:38] Or, just how much "lower disk performance" is there when using the Windows install option? [05:38] Hilton: as long as you dont accept defaults :) it can resize drives, if you use gparted (i think the installer will do it too), but defaults if you just hit next are to just divide the drive in 2 i believe [05:38] After_Math: waht did u do?

[05:55] pangloss, sorry didn't realize that he Vm also meant a dual boot situation [05:55] pangloss, I tried to install from there but no joy.. [05:55] jim_p so, if I remove pulseaudio, what sound server should I use? if any [05:55] can somebody tell me why i am getting this error? Fatal error: require_once Failed opening required 'MDB2/Driver/mysql.php' [05:55] LeeSaferite: its the method that says you dont neew 2 stuff running at the same time to have sound. i only have alsa and i am fine. besides, yout onboard card is fully supported by alsa, so wi bother with software like pulseaudio [05:56] ? [05:56] to be honest i tried debian yesterday [05:56] MattP, no, passwords are a one way hash [05:56] it didnt work either [05:56] sysdoc: open up a terminal and try$ vmware-cmd [05:56] pangloss, was suggested that I just pull down ver2 from vmware's site and continue [05:56] hey limecat u still here? [05:56] ya [05:56] Twerk^: do you face any specific problem? [05:56] I understand how it looks, a friend is lending me this computer to set up a wifi at school for the year. He has not touched it in a year and knows that the password is something related to his name. I am trying to figure out why it will not let me type in a password when it says Enter New UNIX password: [05:56] As soon as I press a key it says: Retype ne UNIX password: [05:56] jim_p I'll try it out. But, is there some known issue with pulseaudio? [05:56] jim_p i cannot get either grub nor lilo to boot my machine [05:56] pangloss, bash: vmware-cmd: command not found [05:57] then it tells me that the authentication token lock busy [05:57] Twerk^: are you on raid or something? [05:57] MattP, you are typing --- just pressing 'a' causes it to request it again? [05:57] pangloss, bash: vmware-cmd: command not found it is installed [05:57] LeeSaferite: yes. squeeky audio, not working audio where you expect it to work etc [05:57] sysdoc: did you install vmware server from a .deb? [05:57] Twerk^: debian and ubuntu are fairly similar, fedora might support lilo OOTB. I google'd your hardware briefly, and someone said fedora worked for them... [05:57] common audio stuff :P [05:57] MattP, ah. I saw that once: I ended up rebooting back into recovery mode, and was ok. Never did figure out why it did that [05:57] yes, just pressing "a" causes it to ask for a retype [05:57] jim_p: no. its a single IDE drive but its in an ibm server so it may have a funky hard drive controller [05:58] pangloss, yea, had to alien it and then installed [05:58] sysdoc: did you use apt-get? or did you build from source? [05:58] Oh, ok, I will try a reboot [05:58] thanks for the tip [05:58] I can only get skype to work if I start it with a sudo? Anybody know a solution to this?

[05:59] TIMREICHH: where does it occur? [05:59] pangloss, it is installed [05:59] yes, lol, and if you want to do it that way theres a little more trickery to it [05:59] TIMREICHH, some php file is trying to open that file, and can't find it [05:59] TIMREICHH, looks to me as if mysql.php can't be found [05:59] when I tried to install avantfax [06:00] Twerk^: is there a chance the drive WAS on raid with some other drive? [06:00] A) youd have to run it as super user (sudo), b, youd have to chmod it to be executable, and C) youd probably wanna do it from a full screen terminal [06:00] pangloss, just no launchers as the tut expected I would have [06:00] nickrud: ryt [06:00] when I run my JACK it always pop out a error msg , I am using UBUNTUSTUDIO, why the JACK will pop up an error [06:00] i drink coffie like water [06:00] limecat u talking to me? [06:00] jim_p: not a chance it was pulled from an apple. [06:00] nickrud: is archive mounter the same as file-roller? [06:00] lol [06:00] sysdoc: yea but you probably dont have the path to the commands for it to run in your $PATH [06:00] the easy way: system-->administration-->hardware drivers [06:00] and i just setup this server today [06:00] punktalk: yes :) [06:00] sysdoc: lemme see if I can find where it installs to [06:00] lol. ok thanks man [06:00] tech0007, yes. the archive manager's real name is file-roller [06:00] u guys talking about linux [06:00] aaahhhh oh i see thanks limecat [06:01] this way is much better :) [06:01] pangloss, that could be true but... /Desktop/vmware$ vmware [06:01] Failed to launch VMware Web Access: unable to determine HTTPS port. [06:01] nickrud: you don't happen to know the command-line way of telling gnome to save your session and gracefully restart itself (just gnome), do you? [06:01] and I got mysql setup and phpmyadmin [06:01] nickrud: ok, coz i thought i saw archive mounter AND archive manager when i right click [06:01] pangloss, acts like it is there [06:01] Twerk^: is it connected straight to the mobo? [06:01] jim_p: it partitions ok, i got gpg to boot from the mbr i even got debian to boot with lilo but got a kernel panic. i tried the ubuntu live disc to fix my debian install and said "screw it i'll use ubuntu.. if the live disc boots what problem could i have??" [06:01] pangloss, vmware-cmd does not run however [06:01] sysdoc: the command to statr it is vmware-cmd, it isnt in there? [06:01] jim_p: yes.

[06:02] so what would be the best way to fix my problem [06:02] punktalk: that wont happen in 8.10 [06:02] probably [06:02] limecat: alright, thanks so much man [06:02] Twerk^: is it like... encrypted?!?! the whole drive? [06:02] punktalk: reconfigure xorg [06:02] tech0007, to be brutally honest, I'm making an educated guess that file-roller provides the mounter [06:03] jim_p: i would have to encrypt it no? i have not done such a thing [06:03] Twerk^: because you mention some gpg key [06:03] what are so of the best apps for ubuntu [06:03] ?? [06:03] gpg key?? [06:03] did I? [06:03] nickrud: theoretically, what would happen if I gnome-session-save && killall Xorg?

I was looking at XBMC but it does not support TV [06:35] TheDeepFriedBoo: take a look at mythtv [06:35] scripts started in init.d at boot time.. are started by what user? [06:35] Can I run it out of ubuntu though or does it run its own system that I have to install? [06:36] TheDeepFriedBoo: you can run it on ubuntu, you might also want to take a look at mythbuntu which comes with it preinstalled [06:36] I'm looking for a new laptop and I know generally the parts I want, who is a good retailer for notebooks that run well with Ubuntu? [06:36] I have tried it before a while ago, I really did not like it too much [06:36] what country you in waffles? [06:36] vaxetihirr, USA [06:37] Waffles: erm Dell, System76, Zamroo? sell ubuntu preinstalled computers [06:37] ah [06:37] im fom uk [06:37] avoid sony [06:37] I am attempting LinuxMCE but it wont boot off the CD so something might be wrong with the ISO [06:37] some of the circuitry behind their screens is dodgy [06:37] vaxetihirr, Alright, I was shying away from them based on how much they are for what you get [06:37] Waffles: you might also want to ask in your loco as they will know local ubuntu preinstalled computers [06:37] i'm using firefox 3.0 on intrepid. firefox opens maximized, sans title bar, and i'm unable to resize the app to anything other than completely hogging the screen. alt + space ['r','x'] for resizing, unmaximizing etc. don't help whatsoever. any ideas ? [06:37] last year they had a worldwode recall of 400 000 laptops [06:37] hey, i installed ubuntu 8.10 and it won't list windows xp from the boot menu... how do I get it back? [06:38] TheDeepFriedBoo: sorry, we don't support LinuxMCE here [06:38] and avoid acer as well [06:38] they have serious boot problems [06:38] ziroday, preinstalled isn't that big of a deal, but compatable parts like chipsets and what not are more of what I am wondering about. I know it depends on what they use, but lots of places don't mention what they put inside and the help isnt much of help. [06:38] Ziroday: No Problem, if MCE does not work ill try Myth [06:38] angloman, did you install it on the entire hard drive? [06:38] rbarlow, F11? [06:38] you can find out what chips are in HP laptops usually [06:38] vaxetihirr: Heard much about Asus? [06:39] you seen any particular make model you like? [06:39] redfish, F11 doesn't appear to be the answer either [06:39] brandon - windows xp was at /dev/sda5, i installed linux on /dev/sda6 [06:39] Can I get some help from someone?? [06:39] Waffles: the best thing you can do is google the laptops name with ubuntu appended or even better if the local computer store allows it bring in a livecd and try it out [06:39] asus make excellent mobos [06:39] for dtops [06:39] generally [06:39] i can still access my windows partition but I can't boot it [06:39] ive heard good things about their laptops [06:39] hmm, "ls -aRl *.php" isn't doing what I thought it would do. [06:39] angloman, Then check your bios to see what drives your computer is trying to boot from? [06:39] brandon_: it's all on the same drive [06:40] but theyve only introduced them in the uk in the past 12 months [06:40] brandon_: same drive, different partitions [06:40] angloman: can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst and sudo fdisk -l please [06:40] angloman: Weird. I've never had any problems with multiple partitions [06:40] i am having multiple partitions too [06:40] vaxetihirr: Yeah they have a few nice looking notebooks, and based off their mobos I assume they're not bad. I'm looking for atleast a P8400, Intel 5300 wireless or atheros wireless, and a discrete nvidia card [06:41] ziroday: you want me to post it in the channel [06:41] i installed ubuntu first then vista, and read that i could use EasyBCD to "simply" add ubuntu to the loader, but i am lost.. hopefully someone can lead me in the right direction to getting my system to booting properly [06:41] angloman: no in pastebin please [06:41] !pastebin | angloman [06:41] angloman: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:41] !nvidia > me [06:41] ardchoille, please see my private message [06:41] does ubuntu support hard drive encryption? [06:41] to be perfectly honest with you waffles i think if you go for a mid spec laptop youll make your life easier [06:41] !grub | riz0n you want the first link [06:41] riz0n you want the first link: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [06:41] ziroday: good idea with googling the name and ubuntu, I was trying to figure out the parts and making it more difficult [06:41] does ubuntu 8.10 support hard drive encryption? [06:41] anyone here use FlaskMpeg ? [06:41] !pendrive [06:42] ubuntu_: yes, but only throught the livecd [06:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about pendrive [06:42] !ubuntu from pendrive [06:42] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:42] vaxetihirr: yeah thats what I'm coming around too, I just don't want to give up searching yet. === zero is now known as somethingelse [06:42] proprietary drivers for chipsets and graphics cards are a pain in ubuntu [06:42] how to install ubuntu on pendrive ? === somethingelse is now known as okthisshouldbeit [06:42] Waffles: usually wireless cars, graphics cards, webcams, and suspend/resume are the biggest culprits [06:42] well the thing is i dont want to have grub as my primary boot loader, i want windows boot manager to come up and then have ubuntu as a selectable option, which can then load grub [06:42] How can I launch a screensaver on just one display? [06:42] does ubuntu 8.10 support hard drive encryption? i cant seem to find the option for it? im on live cd now [06:42] !usb > novato_br [06:42] How shall I list all *.php files recursively (with ownership and file permission)?

[06:43] un pouco, Ximal [06:43] ziroday, vaxetihirr: I've looked into the 5300 and it works with 8.10 out of the box as far as I can tell. Thanks for your help I'll look around a bit. [06:44] Ximal, cuál es problema? [06:44] ronhalfdanr: vmware player, however its only free as in free beer, not free as in free speech. virtualbox-ose is free as in free speech [06:44] rbarlow, did you fix it? [06:45] is there a way I can repair Ubuntu without having to go through GDM with a Live CD? [06:45] ziroday: i dont get the "free beer, free speech" analogy, care to inlighten me? [06:45] redfish, still no idea. it's irking me so much that i'm attempting to google for an answer in epiphany [06:45] what is the approved/suggested way to upgrade to ibex from hardy? [06:46] ronhalfdanr, also ESXi and VMware server are free, but Virtualbox, KVM, and xen are more free and faster [06:46] LF|Irssi: certaintly, basically it means as in a free object (you don't have to pay for it) and a free source code (one that you can see and edit it) [06:46] !upgrade | kkathman [06:46] kkathman: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:46] !es | novato_br, Ximal [06:46] Well that worked well [06:46] novato_br, Ximal: 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. [06:46] ronhalfdanr, google "linux app finder" [06:46] you can get it on there i think [06:46] hateball i speak english i was just trying to help findhis language ...

[06:49] angloman: sorry /menu.lst [06:49] poco si ... little [06:49] Hi, does MythTV support Hauppauge Expresscard tuners? I cannot find it on the hardware list which worries me [06:50] hi , i installed generic kernel version of ubuntu onto my core2duo processored machine [06:50] Can i upgrade kernel to 64bit version ? [06:50] that ll run fast [06:50] Would it be any good ? [06:50] angloman: sorry, add the lines listed here http://paste.ubuntu.com/68732/ [06:50] ziroday: add which lines? [06:50] oh [06:50] lol [06:50] should only put 64 bit version if you have a 64 bit processor surely? [06:51] ziroday: I think I tried that and it said invalid device [06:51] vaxetihirr: they can but 64bit or 32bit, its your choice [06:51] really? [06:51] ah so desu ka? [06:51] angloman: did you have this line root (hd0,1) the same [06:51] hait.. sodesss... [06:51] ive been warned away from doing that by others [06:52] rbarlow, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/270400 [06:52] is there no loss of performance then? [06:52] ziroday: I had root (hd0,0) and it said invalid, so i tried editing it a few times [06:52] i tried hd0,1-7 and none of them worked [06:52] angloman: I believe it should be either (hd0.1) or (hd0,2) please try it again [06:52] vaxetihirr: There is not much of a difference between 32 and 64 bit besides being able to use more than 3GB of RAM [06:52] okay i'll give it a shot [06:53] well ive generally been able to multitask in ubuntu using 25% of the ram and cpu that was required for vista [06:53] There are three or four nvidia drivers, how do I know which one to install? [06:53] so do you really need it? [06:53] TheDeepFriedBoo: wait2... u mean if im using 32 bit... i cant use ram moooore then 3GB?????if i do.. what will happen [06:54] ardchoille: which card do you have? [06:54] what kind of insane apps are you running?? [06:54] vaxetihirr: Unless your running something that needs over 3gb of RAM, dont worry about it, Just install 64bit next time you do a full reinstall [06:54] ardchoille: and have you tried the program in System > Administrator > Hardware Drivers? [06:54] ziroday: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] [06:54] ziroday: yes, I tried the restricted drives manager but that causes my tty's to remain black [06:54] darkbishop: If you have 32 bit, then the system wont see more than 3gb, thats all [06:55] ardchoille: okay, gimme a sec [06:55] thedeepfriedboo: okies actually i might try it anyway just for my own personal amusement [06:55] vaxetihirr: Go ahead [06:55] ziroday: amd I correct in assuming I need nvidia-glx-96 [06:55] can anyone help me out here,please? [06:55] not right now though [06:55] lol [06:55] ardchoille: not sure, I am checking now for you :) [06:55] TheDeepFriedBoo: so if im using 4GB it will only a waste of money? [06:55] ziroday: ok, thank you [06:56] vaxetihirr: to run just a couple windows apps in VMware do I want player, server or machine manager? [06:56] darkbishop: Generally, yes, you can always just eventually upgrade to 64 bit next time you reinstall, dont worry about it though unless you actually need that much ram [06:56] ok [06:56] let me just ask my friend [06:56] lol [06:57] ardchoille: you should need the 177 one [06:57] i honestly cant remember [06:57] TheDeepFriedBoo: ok thxxx...... [06:57] sorry [06:57] i just saw it there once recently and thought ah ha i will install it one day . . . . . [06:57] fsanchezcv: what is your question? [06:57] ziroday: oh, I didn't think my card was new enough to need that one [06:58] ardchoille: according to nvidia.com it is :) [06:58] i want to remove my windows partition [06:58] thanks anyway [06:58] ziroday: thank you very much :) [06:58] and just keep ubuntu on all of my hd [06:58] ardchoille: have fun [06:58] anyone know what VMware I want to just run a couple apps? [06:58] you can use the live cd to remove all partitions [06:58] fsanchezcy: use fdisk [06:58] i did it on my pc [06:58] without using fdisk [06:58] hai all [06:58] ronhalfdanr: probably vmware player, however you should consider using virtualbox-ose as its opensource [06:59] will that erase the windows partition, and merge in into my ubuntu partition without erasing my ubuntu config? [06:59] oh there another one.... qpartiton i think... so something like tat. [06:59] to be safe just back your data up first [06:59] you mean darkbishop qtparted [06:59] ? [06:59] virtualbox is a non-starter ziroday since it's RAM dependant and I'm looking at files between 150 and 600 MB [06:59] but it listed all of the partitions on my hard drive [06:59] Anybody here know a bit about why dovecot would not accept my Outlook clients imap connections any more after upgrading to 8.10? [06:59] and i did delete them one at a time [07:00] fsanchezcv: the correct way will be... deleting you windows partition and resaiz ur linux partition. [07:00] thanks everyone [07:00] thanks [07:00] sup dudes [07:00] that's data files to manipulate at 150-600 MB [07:00] anyone here has the 8.10 ? [07:00] I do [07:00] element: a few of us, why? [07:00] element: we almost all do. [07:00] why my wireless led is always blinking?? === element is now known as Guest52746 [07:00] redfish, i'm going to try 3.1b2pre and see what happens.... [07:00] ronhalfdanr: then vmware player :) [07:00] its the LTS one innit [07:00] Several questions: 1. Is anyone else experiencing problem with Ibex Interpid, that kernel is not loading when you try to install it? 2. Is anyone else having problems with Interpid, as CD drive is not found anymore? [07:00] thanks ziroday [07:00] i will go crazy... [07:00] vaxetihirr: no. [07:01] its been a long night [07:01] cool. looks like other people in that link had the same problem as you.

[07:03] can anyone point me in the right direction as to why dovecot does not seem to allow internal net connections with Outlook (imap) anymore? Using evolution on the server itself works fine [07:03] this is after 8.04->8.10 upgrade [07:03] Dragnslcr, is your wireless led blinking too? [07:04] !dovecot [07:04] Ramrunner: you might want to also ask in #ubuntu-server [07:04] IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol [07:04] DragoraN, is your wireless led blinking too?

Its really annoying me since I have to keep using vista instead since I cannot really have my laptop crashing in class [07:05] And same problem occured on 3 different computers I tried to install it on [07:05] Guest52746: which one? [07:05] ardchoille: possibly. your probably using the open source driver which may have support for 3d rendering for your card [07:05] Guest52746: on the chassis of the notebook? [07:05] what is the name of simple firewall for lnx working in bash, i wont to use apt-get, but i don't remember name, this was something like fwb or vfb, fvb ? [07:05] uwf [07:05] DragoraN, yep in the notebook chassis [07:05] ziroday: ah, ok [07:05] or ufw [07:05] Hello [07:05] thx [07:06] I had VirtualBox working just fine.. after a kernel upgrade it broke [07:06] redfish, installing and running 3.1b2 (most likely some 'other' ff version) worked, i.e. un-maximized. [07:06] Is there anything to be done to fix virtualbox [07:06] thx Viktoras [07:06] darkbishop: fresh install and same problem on all 3 computers I tried to install it [07:06] baal: yw [07:06] the added effect is that now 3.0 now starts as expected (unmaximized) afterwards [07:06] anyone know hows to remove a Satellite M200 HDD [07:07] monzie: check for virtualbox kernel modules for your kernel version [07:07] Viktoras: I did that [07:07] seems to be fine [07:07] Guest52746: its not blinking, is lit up constantly.. like normally when it is enabled with the wifi button, also wifi button does not do anything after wakeup from sleep, completly disappeares, for example win windows from device manager it vanishes [07:07] Omeil: Most laptops should have a cover on the bottom with the HDD symbol [07:07] monzie: what error it brings? [07:07] figures ;-) [07:07] where am i? [07:07] what server is this [07:07] Jakob_the_Liar: in front of your Personal Computer :] [07:08] The Internet [07:08] Freenode [07:08] Omeil: Just open that cover and the HD should have some screws to release it [07:08] ziroday: Thanks for your help, here goes nothing :) [07:08] DragoraN, i have a similar problem.... i have an intel wireles card [07:09] Guest52746: did you solved it? :( [07:09] nop [07:09] next silly question for vmware...............do I want the .rpm or .bundle? [07:09] DragoraN, nop...but my led is alway blinking im going crazy... [07:09] Viktoras: http://pastebin.ca/1247620 is the VBox error [07:09] Viktoras: i have the corresponding modules package installed [07:09] TheDeepFriedBoo, when I unscrew a screw where i think the HD is the screw keeps clicking back into place === JewsusGeist is now known as GeeksAreAssholes [07:10] TheDeepFriedBoo, its what it does on most of the screws which is kinda weird [07:10] ronhalfdanr: put it this way - you don't want the rpm [07:10] thanks frog [07:10] Omeil:The screw most likely will stay in the hole, all it needs to do is release from the threads, the screw has a washer to keep it attached to the cover, just pull open the cover [07:10] ronhalfdanr: last time I installed vmware, it was as a .tgz with an install script, worked fine [07:11] might have to dig for that frog [07:11] Hi Anybody out there that can help me with connecting two Ubuntu machines via wireless (router) ? [07:12] laffi: Setting up the router or actually connecting them to a working router? [07:12] anybody from malaysia? [07:13] monzie: for some reason it seems like your user don't have right rights for accessing those modules [07:13] try GKsu virtualbox [07:13] Router is working, I can ping the router from both machines but I can't ping either machine from the other [07:13] "gksu virtualbox" === sarixe` is now known as sarixe [07:13] what if you hook the two machine's up via crossover cable [07:14] laffi: Sounds like it might be some sort of firewall issue, unfortinatly doing that on linux is not my area of extertise [07:14] do the machines have static or dhcp from the router [07:14] laffi;Sorry [07:14] No firewall, neither on router nor on Ubuntu [07:14] TheDeepFriedBoo, yup you were right, it click out, although still can't pull the HDD out because of a screw attached to the HDD hitting a plastic peace. [07:14] hi, i'm running intrepid, and i'm getting occasional kernel panics. is this a widespread problem? [07:14] laffi: perhaps the netmask on the wifi i/f is wrong? [07:15] also sometimes some wifi routers will isolate the ports from each other (that incldes wifi as well) [07:15] I've already opened a threat on ubuntuforums but so far no solution [07:15] sarixe: what wireless card do you have? [07:15] ziroday : intel something [07:15] lemme do an lspci [07:15] how do I fix my sound [07:15] laffi: did you connect a machine to the router via cable? [07:15] TheDeepFriedBoo, this is a lil stupid how am i supposed to pull this out lol [07:15] I keep getting that it's in use by something, or something about gconf [07:15] laffi: it sounds more of a networking issue to me [07:15] Omeil: the HD should be able to slid out [07:15] sarixe: installed it with ndiswrapper [07:15] Omeil: It usually disconnects from the IDE or SATA interface and then comes out [07:15] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. [07:16] and whatnot [07:16] laffi: do you have ssh server installed? [07:16] get the .info driver and installed it. via ndiswrapper [07:16] I'd really love to get sound working, if anyone could help that'd be wonderful [07:16] TiMiDo : what? [07:16] 0b:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) [07:16] laffi: same network name on both pc's [07:16] Omeil: So slide it away from the data connector and then out [07:16] sarixe: installed it with ndiswrapper [07:16] =) [07:16] works fine. [07:16] ok... but what the hell are you talking about? [07:17] sarixe: I think he talks about installing drivers for a network-card [07:17] oh [07:17] sarixe: windowsdrivers with ndiswrapper [07:17] sarixe: for example you get the driver from windows or the zip. and make sure you have the .inf [07:17] sarixe: well there goes my idea, file a bug regarding the kernel panics [07:17] and you installed it with ndiswrapper [07:18] ziroday : come to think of it, i remember reading something about kernel panics and my wifi model [07:18] and that it's fixed in backports... [07:18] sarixe: I think thats for the atheros cards [07:18] TheDeepFriedBoo, Thanks for the help, its my bosses laptop lol want to be extra careful [07:19] ay^ and TiMiDo : ok, well i'll just wait until a bugfix comes out... don't want to mess around with windows drivers for something that usually works [07:19] sarixe: dude. it actually works. and nothing will happend to your system that's for sure. [07:19] sarixe: mkay, I do find ndiswrapper pretty straight forward tho [07:19] that's why they made ndiswrapper [07:19] sarixe: wait I was wrong. Please read http://www.ubuntu.net/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [07:19] Anyone, please? I miss sound. [07:19] Omeil: No Prob, did it come out OK? [07:19] but the thing is, i'm not even using 802.11n, i don't think [07:20] sarixe: that won't matter. You need to enable backports and install the package required [07:20] network manager tells me the speed is 54mb/s, which is g, right? [07:21] sarixe: could be the routers speed? [07:21] TheDeepFriedBoo, Yeah had to force it a little aside because of the frame screws being in the way. [07:21] ay^ : my router does support n [07:21] ziroday: hd0,0 says invalid device, hd0,1 / 2 / 3 says no such partition 4,5,6 says invalid device [07:21] at any rate, i'll try this package === name_name_ is now known as name_name [07:21] sarixe: hum, wierd. wasn't your card a N-card? [07:21] it is an n card [07:21] yes, this is weird [07:21] angloman: hmm thats odd [07:21] indeed wierd [07:22] but yeah, i notice it's using a different driver than hardy, iwlagn [07:22] but try ndiswrapper, if it fails just uninstall it and undp any steps you took to get it up [07:22] ziroday: I think it has something to do with the fact that windows was installed on the extended partition or something [07:22] i'd rather try the bugfix'd version of iwlagn [07:22] sarixe: did you read the release notes I gave you. It explains how to fix your problem [07:22] sarixe: yeah that makes sense :) [07:22] angloman: not sure then sorry [07:22] yes, that's what i'm probably gonna do, zibri [07:22] ziroday * [07:23] sarixe: it mentions "kernel panics when used with 802.11n or 802.11g networks" [07:23] ah, well i guess that applies to me either way === soreau_ is now known as soreau [07:24] how do i know if my ethernet card is functioning at full speed? [07:24] ~/.beagle is really big (2GB), is it safe to remove it if I don't want indexing? [07:24] Peddy: why don't you just uninstall beagle? [07:25] i don't know [07:25] ziroday: For some reason, the package 'beagle' is uninstalled :/ [07:25] <_MattB> how can I make /tmp a ram drive in server ? [07:25] is here an indonesian? [07:26] hey! [07:26] is here an indonesian? [07:26] not realy I think :) [07:26] why? [07:26] They all left a few minutes ago :/ [07:27] ok, do you want to help me? [07:27] Peddy: ah then you can remove that file [07:27] Ok. but itachibuntu, you could try #ubuntu-id [07:27] brb [07:27] !id | itachibuntu [07:27] itachibuntu: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [07:27] ok [07:27] itachibuntu: you could ask directly after saying hi, instead of asking tons of off-topic questions :] [07:28] ziroday I purged it anyway, the new version of synaptic has a handy feature which allows you to purge conf files of non-installed progs [07:28] oops sorry! [07:28] Hi, what is an easy way to install grub to a partition after Ubuntu has already been installed? [07:28] Peddy: yep, that will do it as well [07:28] !grub | riz0n you want the first link [07:28] riz0n you want the first link: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[07:31] doesn't wibu come in ubuntu 8.10 ? [07:31] riz0n: if you insist on using the vista bootloader then you need to ask the folks in ##windows to help you [07:31] only see 8.04 [07:31] Both of the /join ##windows [07:31] oops [07:31] sorry [07:31] i maked a back up from my programs using AptonCD but i cant use it in Program Resources [07:31] riz0n: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:08] I know. [08:08] anyways how can i see what version of a sertain package apt is going to install without actually installing it? [08:09] a_ok: heh, trying to mask? :D [08:09] uey uey [08:09] <[eXception]> there a shortcut to open a shell and then switch between shell and gui? [08:09] siccness, nope don know how that works (yet) [08:09] [eXception]: huh? [08:09] a_ok: heh [08:09] hi - who has a soloution for this prob. with skype on 64bit intrepid.. have used the skype-static-oss install as this was the only one that worked in the past on ubuntu 64bit.. but now after a few mins the sound system dies.. re-starting the pc fixes it but...??? [08:10] hah?? [08:10] frybye: try sudo alsaconf [08:10] and follow the instructions. frybye [08:10] Any idea how to solve this problem with `aptitude update`? (Err http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper Release.gpg Bad header line [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]) [08:10] exit [08:10] <[eXception]> : I want to open a shell with a shortcut [08:10] frybye: if that doesnt work, look for a culpirate application that is screwing it up, blow it away, try again [08:11] TiMiDo ok than ks for the info - cant try right now - am at a diff. location with winbox but thanks anyhow.. will see too it later.. [08:11] <[eXception]> im new to ubuntu :( [08:11] frybye: sure np [08:11] siccness, are you refering to pinning? [08:11] [eXception]: that means ubuntu is new to you! [08:11] a_ok, pinning sounds like a complex word for me [08:12] <[eXception]> yes sry :/ also no native english [08:12] [eXception]: where you from? [08:12] <[eXception]> germany timido [08:12] [eXception]: try #ubuntu-de [08:12] <[eXception]> thx [08:12] np [08:12] almost beer time [08:13] !de [08:13] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [08:13] !lart e-frame [08:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about lart e-frame [08:13] :X [08:13] siccness, i can't find anything on masking packages and apt. (know how do do it with portage though but there we have decent search utills that show exactly what packages are available) [08:13] :-?? [08:13] a_ok: yeah, not sure with apt myself. [08:14] siccness, thanks anyway [08:14] g ad orng indo??? [08:14] a_ok: try google [08:14] siccness, already did [08:14] else i wouldn't be here [08:14] can someone explain something to me in simple words..? [08:14] heh [08:14] pinning does sound familiar tho [08:15] Mal3ko, depends on whats to explain [08:15] echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches VS echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [08:15] siccness, yeah but that means that i have to edit files just to find out what version is available... kinda overkill [08:16] Hi, konversation does not show me any z anymore :( [08:16] didn't find the answer in other channels, so like to ask. [08:16] is it true that ---> find -name tmp_file -execdir customiize_script <---- will find the tmp_file, then executing customize_script (which is under the same dir as tmp_file) [08:17] 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 ? [08:18] Where are keyboard layouts kept in 8.10? they were at /etc/X11/xkb/symbols before......... [08:18] Mal3ko, /proc is a way to retreive AND set info of the system. what it exactly does i do not know yet as it is file specific, ill look it up for you [08:19] a_ok: i need to know about echo x what the number there mean? [08:19] #ubuntu-es [08:20] http://elmargol.soup.io/post/6713919/Bild <- any ideas? [08:20] cause when i use echo 3, my system become a slighly sluggish [08:20] Mal3ko, the number tells the kernel what caches to clean. take a look here: http://www.linuxinsight.com/proc_sys_vm_drop_caches.html [08:21] oh i see..what's "dentries and inodes"? [08:22] Mal3ko, if you do not know what inodes are i suggest you google a bit. [08:22] hey guys [08:23] what's that equivalent to in windows? [08:23] what happened to the restart button in Ubuntu? [08:23] its gone!!! [08:23] hello - I am trying to use nvidia-settings to user overscan but the option is not showing up - it shows up on my otherbox though ? any ideas please help [08:25] hi, is there someone who can help me out with my WLAN Adapter RTL8187SE (running LG X110 Netbook)?? === diego is now known as Guest98700 === Guest98700 is now known as diegoo [08:25] Mal3ko, either they have the same thing in windows or its closed source and i don't hava a clue. inodes are what makes files on disk just look it up on wikipedia its quite easy to understand (at least it should be if you are going to do obscure things like flushing kernel cache...) [08:26] :) [08:26] Mal3ko, dentries are directory entries btw [08:28] yeah..thanks btw :) [08:28] I just did "gdb /usr/bin/Xorg", then "attach ". Then the whole system froze... is this normal? =P [08:29] ziroday: It didn't work, I have tried several different ways to install the nvidia drivers and each way leaves me with black tty's [08:29] why do i get sound from the speakers too although i plugged in a jack? [08:29] apo_: that's probably a bad idea, yes [08:30] hi, maybe thats not the best channel to ask (or maybe it is =D). But does anyone know a little bit about the HP Proliant machines? [08:30] Oh well, I guess I can do without the graphics drivers, Intrepid is stable and functional :) === Rafik_ is now known as Rafik [08:33] anyone? [08:34] also a friend of mine is having problems with his ATI drivers in Ubuntu ... the Hardware Drivers dialog says that the driver is active but not in use .... whats that mean? [08:34] zetheroo: is has been replaced by a full menu with log out, suspend, restart, shutdown and hibernate [08:34] it* [08:35] Rafik: where is that menu? All I get is switch user and log out ... [08:35] how do i update AWN from 0.2.6 to 0.3.1 [08:35] zetheroo: I got a question about it, if I wanted it to replace the old one [08:36] so mine us right next to the name of the user who is logged in [08:36] ay^: sorry? what do you want to do? [08:36] zetheroo: tell you where it might be [08:37] how do i update AWN from 0.2.6 to 0.3.1 ? [08:37] when i load a program and run it in wine. the screen goes funnyand looks like a corrupt video. the reason i was trying wine was that i wanted to install flashgot. none of the other dl managers have sheduling and when it does then it doesnt work, any suggestion to a decent download manager?? [08:37] ay^: I dunno ... all I get when I click the power button is Log Off and Switch User [08:38] crd1b: Uh, no. I have to do it because I'm trying to debug wacom stuff. But I just forgot to 'c' [08:38] zetheroo: did you get the question about replacing the old menu? [08:39] ay^: are you telling me to replace the old menu? ... [08:39] apo_: I would imagine that "alt+printscrn+r" would be helpful as X has gets raw keyboard access and gdb might break in a "bad spot", although using it remotely over ssh would probably avoid all of that [08:39] zetheroo: no, I'm asking wether you got the question about replacing the old menu, but I take it that you did not. [08:39] I am uninstalling something with synaptic...and it says "to be removed: ubuntu-desktop"...what does that mean? [08:40] ay^: I just added an applet to the panel ... called Shut Down ... and when I click that one I get all the options [08:40] zetheroo: sweet :) [08:41] ay^: is that what I was supposed to do ,,,, [08:41] zetheroo: well, what did you want to do? If you wanted the menu, I suppose so. If your still talking about the question I got, then no. [08:41] hi [08:42] ay^: whats your question? [08:42] what contains the ubuntu DVD? it's enough for having full language support and some nice software like vlc? [08:42] btw .. does anyone know what to do if Ubuntu is telling me that the ATI drivers are active but not in use? [08:42] zetheroo: my question? Do you mean the question the system asked me when I upgraded, or do you mean any question I might have about anything ubuntu-ish? [08:43] ay^: ha ... I am just asking you if you had a question you wanted to ask me ... [08:43] zetheroo: I cannot think of one, no. do you want me to? :) [08:43] gypsymauro, full language support is something you always have with linux, and software is something you can install anywhere if you have a network connection [08:44] ay^: no worries... do you know anything about the ATI question I was asking? [08:44] crd1b: Yeah, I logged in over ssh and then continued ^_^ [08:44] hi.. question: what program should i use to remote admin my server (web-based) [08:44] zetheroo: I don't know what that question was, but since I dont have a ATI, I will say no. [08:45] Weeltin, I've seen the Webmin and it looks really nice [08:45] how can I find out what other temperature sensors I have in my laptop? === woody86_ is now known as woody86 [08:45] woody86_: lmsensors is good for this [08:46] DIFH-iceroot- is that a program? [08:46] OrangeMechanique: thanks... [08:46] woody86: yes [08:46] can anyone help me? when i load a program and run it in wine. the screen goes funnyand looks like a corrupt video. the reason i was trying wine was that i wanted to install flashgot. none of the other dl managers have sheduling and when it does then it doesnt work, any suggestion to a decent download manager?? [08:46] DIFH-iceroot- ok, thanks, I'll give it a shot [08:48] a_ok: the problem is that I've not a network connection where I will install ubuntu [08:49] a_ok: and when you install a localized ubuntu you have not all packages for ur language (openoffice and firefox for example are in english) you must download packages from network but I will have not network connection there [08:50] In which package is the manpage for less?!

[09:32] ay^: no but if I want to connect to one of the 5 the tray icon isnt seeing, then how can I do that [09:32] ay^: no, airodump shows if they are hidden [09:32] gigel2006: create the connection and type the SSID and other settings [09:32] anyone with broadcomm wifi? I manage to connect, stay for 15s, then association timeout and disconnect [09:33] ay^: there is no familiar way to see it? why does the tray icon limit to 8 ?

[09:36] AdvoWork: nowhere, unless your .sh file keeps its own log [09:36] SlimeyPete, oh [09:36] gigel2006: as I said, you could manually connect via the tray icon [09:36] because it runs sometimes, not others, im trying to work out why its failing [09:36] ay^: ok, thanks ! [09:36] SlimeyPete, my script does output some info though, wont that be logged somewhere? [09:36] maxxer, I use this driver as well, and it works OK (apart from lower txpower) [09:36] gigel2006: you could try to use wicd instaed of network manager [09:37] ay^: is it already installed ? [09:37] kane77, i had 1mb/s on hardy, but now with wpa it works, but here i have poor wep and keeps disconnecting :( [09:37] every now and then I loose the ability to type the third option keys (AltGr + key_with_3_options).

[09:37] gigel2006: no you will have to either compile it or add the repository for it [09:37] AdvoWork: no, unless you programmed the script in such a way that output is redirected to a file [09:38] ay^: oh ok thanks, I got a recommendation about wifi-radar as wekk, but since I have airodump and can see the SSIDs there is no need for 2 more [09:38] gigel2006: I would add the rpo for it [09:38] ay^: anyway thanks man I got to go [09:38] gigel2006: yeah sure [09:38] gigel2006: Do that, I have to get going on the food over here [09:39] SlimeyPete, thats a pain then. how can i do that? basically all im doing to get output is set -x at the top, as its a bash script [09:40] AdvoWork: is this a command you want to run? if so you could use fex "> outputsavedhere.txt" [09:40] AdvoWork: put &>/path/to/my/logfile.log at the top [09:41] just "&>/path/to/my/logfile.log" [09:41] of to lunch [09:41] hey all, just a quick question. I want a list of my files redirected to a text file. I've gone "ls -R > list.txt" but the file it produces has no white space, so it's impossible to read in windows. Is there any way to created a text file from > that can be read in windows by humans? [09:42] I'd like it written to the file the same way it is on screen [09:42] AdvoWork: yeah... though actually put a valid path in there obviously :) [09:42] whats that mean though? [09:42] and can i make a new logfile? ie mylogfile.log? [09:42] Rufus, how about ls -lRH ? [09:42] Hmm, so i found out i have pppd 2.4.4 (running on Hardy). Now i have another problem, I need to re-compile the xl2tp package for Hardy because of a faulty flag in the Makefile (known Hardy bug). Thing is, how do i get the source code ? [09:43] again, cant get crossover/office2007 integrated with xubuntu [09:43] AdvoWork: sure [09:43] Hello. Anyone made it possible to boot raid pendrive ubuntu? [09:43] Rufus: the l for list format and the H for human-readable filesizes [09:43] anand: you need to ask the crossover people about that [09:43] chriswk: ls -IRH [09:43] AdvoWork: it means "redirect stdout and stderr to this file instead of outputting them to the screen" [09:43] pepe_swash: you have raid, on a thumbdrive? [09:43] Rufus: no, that's a lower case L [09:43] Rufus and not an Upper case I [09:44] ziroday: yes. but cannot boot. [09:44] well, i don't care for the filesizes === Some_ux_ is now known as Some_ux [09:44] pepe_swash: I am somewhat certain you can't have a raid array on a thumbdrive [09:44] why the installation hangs on here: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392760/ ? [09:44] Rufus: Well, then try just the lowercase L [09:44] as well as your R [09:45] ls -lR ? [09:45] SlimeyPete, i just ran the script with that in, set -x still outputs to the screen, and my log file is blank [09:45] I think it is the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/277138 <- [09:45] Rufus: yes [09:45] well, that lists a bit much probably [09:45] WolfHack: ^_^ [09:45] ziroday: i can boot a single live persistant, i can mount raid pendrives once booted any ubuntu (through mdadm), but cannot mix both.. [09:45] I tried to install the hardy and gutsy version of the deb file -> same problem [09:45] ;o [09:45] hi ;] [09:45] still not readable [09:45] volume is not working [09:45] problem is there's no white space [09:46] anyone please help me, my ubuntu volume is not working [09:46] ziroday: raid arays work on pendrives. pretty easy. i've done raid1, raid0 and Raid5 on them.

[10:53] atheros [10:54] ziroday: should I use roaming profiles with nm-applet just to set up a 2 person adhoc network? [10:54] and then edit the important parts with iwconfig and ifconfig [10:54] ? [10:55] is ubuntu studio trust worthy? === j2daosh_ is now known as j2daosh [10:55] can i trust ubuntu studio? [10:55] computer_: define 'trust' [10:55] Gnea: hehe [10:56] is it as safe as ubuntu? [10:56] safe? [10:56] safe for what? [10:56] computer_: please try to avoid vague questions [10:58] just updated to 8.10 - flash videos are choppy and play like skipping dvds. [10:58] aaand internet seems much slower than when on xp partition === djamel_ is now known as djamel [10:59] rand0m: have you got a lot of firefox plugins/extensions loaded? [10:59] not to my knowledge [10:59] could be wrong though.. i'm not great with linux yet [11:00] rand0m: well, you would have had to install them so you would know [11:00] i am using ubuntu, how to i upgrade to ubuntu studio in command line? [11:01] ardchoille, like I said, I'm not great with this stuff. there were times in the past I've come in here for flash web support for ubuntu 8.04 and perhaps multiple peoples help caused contradicting plugins? i don't know [11:02] I need some help rebuilding a 8.04 Package [11:02] hi everybody! can someone help me with this?: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [11:03] computer_: sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop [11:03] http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/hardy/xl2tpd , what are the .desc and .diff files for ? [11:03] hello brothers [11:03] is there anyone how can help me? [11:03] thanks [11:03] Cheef: not unless you tell us what your problem is [11:03] quick question... i saw upgrades available in my update manager... are those updates automatically included in the current CD image available to download? [11:04] *CD image from ubuntu website [11:04] pioSko: no [11:04] pioSko: but they're just a sudo apt-get upgrade away [11:04] yeah that's the thing [11:05] pioSko: what you're thinking of is called a "re spin" and it's rare [11:05] what is the best linux that i can use on pc (384Mb Ram , Pentium 3 , 1 GigaHz) ? [11:05] Cheef: you're asking in a biased channel ;-) [11:05] Cheef: ubuntu should work fine [11:05] i t downloads the upgrade... unpacks them .. but then freezes on "processing triggers in mad-db" [11:05] and it doesn't complete the upgrade [11:05] what version of ubuntu? [11:05] Cheef: elivecd or xubuntu [11:05] this is the second time that's happened [11:06] ubuntu 8.10 can't work on it? [11:06] Cheef: well, you asked for 'best' [11:06] yes, it can work on it, but it'll be slow [11:06] Cheef I'm sure that will be fine. Iinstalled Hardy on an old 233 with 128 RAM and 10G HD - it wasn't the fastest system ever built but it did work. [11:06] Gnea: Do you know something about iptables? [11:06] xubuntu is like ubuntu 8.10 ? [11:06] paul68: just ask the question [11:06] Cheef: I'm using ubuntu Hardy on a P3 in the other room and it's fine. The installed system will be much faster than the livecd [11:07] !xubuntu | Cheef [11:07] Cheef: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[11:07] pioSko: I don't know, never had that happen [11:07] Cheef: and of course, www.elivecd.org [11:07] ok.. thanks [11:07] I like Xubuntu better in many ways but I like to use the more mainstream version so I have the most common experiences. [11:07] i will try xubuntu now [11:08] tnx for help [11:08] pioSko: sudo apt-get -f install or sudo dpkg -configure -a [11:08] Bye evrybody i will download xubuntu now [11:08] Cheef: the great thing about Linux is you can install a distro, then use one of several desktops or window managers [11:08] Gnea: Thank you.. I'll try that [11:09] hi everybody! can someone help me with this?: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [11:09] how can I join the ubuntu off topic channel?

[11:11] archoille:nice. don't have to worry about installing backports in debian [11:11] got windows 7 partition to force mount but not my vista? [11:11] Get compiz fusion [11:11] Gnea: the first part I understand meaning portforwading 20 and 21 to ip 10.20.2.22 but what does the 1.2.3.4 mean ? <-NAT_xxx_FORWARD="20,21>10.20.2.22 1.2.3.4:81>10.20.2.23:80" [11:11] yeps [11:11] SiDi: umask option when mounting [11:11] werdnus: the question is about right management. correct me if im wrong but i think its not possible [11:11] sudo fdisk -i [11:12] or is it sudo fdisk -l [11:12] missille you got one of those pre betas ? [11:12] I'm having the Ibex Apache2 VirtualHost problem, where all but the first virtualhost is ignored [11:12] yeah [11:12] Is there a fix for this? Google and playing around havent' found one [11:12] blackgraz: -l [11:12] hi everyone i have 1 stupid question :P how i active and see my 3d cube in ubuntu (the last vesion) pls :) [11:12] hello ubu guys [11:12] and I think it locked up all my disks [11:12] SiDi: you can define rights when you mount partition, but only partition wide [11:12] SiDi: i should know that since i work on linux/BSD servers all day [11:12] missille yeah I've read nothing but bad impressions so far [11:13] howdy...any network peoples online [11:13] I hope it turns out significantly better than that LOL [11:13] alright simplexio thanks [11:13] paul68: I don't even know what program you're using to set those rules up with [11:13] the weird thing is that it boots from grub that is located on that partition === sschaefer is now known as sschaefer`lunch [11:13] iptables [11:13] Gnea: iptables [11:14] but vistas recovery disk wont find vista on it [11:14] missille yeah I read it won't use mbr type pointers - will boot more like macs do [11:14] paul68: no, you're typing those into a script which uses iptables [11:14] Gnea: trying to set up a firewall? [11:14] paul68: or you're getting that information from some sort of logfile that i've never seen the format of [11:14] ardchoille: paul68 is [11:14] ok [11:15] any K3b experience I can copy from here? [11:15] so any kind of advise how to force mount or something [11:16] need my pictures from vista :-) [11:16] missille force mount, that sounds cool, but isn't burning on dvd's more important? [11:16] Gnea: well I have a large script from this site http://rocky.eld.leidenuniv.nl/ [11:16] you have been down the road vista... amazing [11:16] is this just me or firefox 3.1 IS faster? I think it render webpages a lot faster when I enable the JIT thing [11:16] hi everybody! can someone help me with this?: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [11:16] missille no idea the scare stories have worked on me and I stayed away. [11:17] oh u mean backups? yeah just meant to make that but waited ofcourse until everything is completely stuck [11:17] how do i install the package list that comes with ubuntu studio? [11:17] Gnea: this is the script http://paste.ubuntu.com/68806/ [11:17] how do i install the package list that comes with ubuntu studio into my ubuntu? [11:18] the weirdest that i could force mount the other hdd but not vistas partition and they had "the same problem" [11:18] ardchoille: if you could help me aswell it's much appreciated === Tetrapak is now known as qw [11:19] how do i set my sound/volume settings back to default mode? [11:19] paul68: are you trying to set up a firewall? [11:19] ardchoille: yes I do [11:19] paul68: The easiest way to do that is to install and use Firestarter: sudo apt-get install firestarter [11:20] paul68: it's a gui and walks you through setting things up, really easy.. my 8 year old neice loved it :) [11:20] paul68: 1.2.3.4 is some internet ip [11:20] why is it impossible however necessary to chmod 777 mounted entities when using a live CD, how can I do so anyway? [11:20] ardchoille: I only have terminal on my server [11:20] I have just installed xubuntu 8.10 at the first HD in my computer. It is working fine, but it doesnt recognize neither the other HDs or the local network. What can I do? Someone can help me? [11:20] i am using hardy to manage my network (xp network) and al of a sudden this morning i booted everything up and got a duplicate name error n my machines...any idead..been running it fine since the begining of the year..need help!! [11:21] paul68: do you have a desktop ubuntu on another computer? [11:21] paul68: Ah, then firestarter won't help.. and iptables can be a bear to learn [11:21] Gnea: yes I do [11:21] now I know why sometimes people are kicked from channels [11:21] paul68: then you can export the display of firestarter to your desktop without installing X on your server [11:21] paul68: what is the problem with that script it has comments :p [11:21] my majorly important question got scrolled out of here quicker than a snowflake on the suns surface [11:22] why is it impossible however necessary to chmod 777 mounted entities when using a live CD, how can I do so anyway? [11:22] ardchoille: no kidding but I'm learning and I try to get it figured out [11:22] paul68: or you can stick with the commandline, it's up to you [11:23] mdalek: I know it has comments but there are still things I try to understand and convert to my situation [11:23] Gnea: ok thanks === qw is now known as JewingGum [11:24] I have a questin that many of you might know as a basic. I was wondering how to list the hidden folders through the terminal? [11:24] PeoplesAdvocate: ls -a [11:24] PeoplesAdvocate: ls -a [11:24] well.. [11:25] thanks i really appreciate it. still tryna learn my way around the terminal [11:26] if anyone has a clue pm me [11:26] sinnn: you won't get many pms [11:26] what are you after? [11:26] knoppix, what are you trying to do? change permissions of the mount point or the volume itself? [11:26] help [11:27] <|neon|> after i cahnge my theme settings everything looks ok, however settings go away every time i reboot, how can i make my them settings stick after rebooting [11:27] hi === root is now known as Guest62523 [11:28] trying to figure out why all of a sudden all my pcs started teling me there is a duplicate name on my network [11:28] |neon|: this is a dumb question but are you talking about the livecd? [11:28] what [11:28] !mount @ samu [11:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about mount @ samu [11:28] what? [11:28] unop just trying to use it, I need w permission [11:29] mdalek: can you help me out? [11:29] I think from the mount point itself, what is the difference, I need to burn so thevolume itself needs to be changed permission of [11:29] <|neon|> ardchoille: no i have intrepid installed to my hd [11:29] is there a way to get separate wallpapers on a dual screen system? [11:29] |neon|: ok [11:31] unop [11:32] paul68: it's pretty straight forward as to how to forward a port - what ports are you trying to forward? [11:32] is there a way to make nm-connection-editor not forget the ip/mask/gateway/dns settings on individual interfaces? [11:32] on intrepid, that is [11:33] Paavi2_0: make it static [11:33] Gnea: it's static, but some settings get lost on reboot :( [11:33] Gnea: I need to forward a few ports since all ports under 1024 are blocked, but I have no Idea how to do this and where to put it in this script ===> me still learning [11:33] Gnea: no dhcp used [11:34] Paavi2_0: not sure then [11:35] Gnea: for arguments sake port 33333 to port 21 from the outside to my server 10.20.2.22 [11:35] maybe i should file a bug then, or remove networkmanager altogether [11:35] paul68: that's a port re-map, not a port forward. port forwarding means that you're 'forwarding' the same port to another host [11:36] knoppix, it's still unclear what you are trying to do, if you're trying to burn a CD, your CD burning software should take care of that. [11:36] paul68: but yes, according to that script, it can be done... [11:37] unop it doesn't give me a go because some specifications are still not certain [11:37] paul68: if your internet ip is 1.2.3.4, it's be like: 1.2.3.4:33333>10.20.2.22:21 [11:38] Gnea: I know I don't know much about this and I need to see an example which I can use to implement. but my internets ip can be different how do I interact to make it work then [11:38] I also have a questin about port forwarding. I have VSFTPD installed and i was wondernig how can i connect like this (ex. domain.com:23456 to xxx.xxx.x.xxx:20-21)? [11:38] paul68: you'd have to write some sort of function into the script to get the latest ip and place it there [11:38] Gnea: I use a dyndns account to connect from outside my network onto my server [11:39] hallo.. how can i resume an screen process ? thanks [11:39] Gnea: since I'm here with 2 left hands I,m in more then the complete darkness here [11:39] paul68: well, it has a provision to use static or dynamic ip information in the script, perhaps you should ask arno himself [11:40] Gnea: I already did but still waiting for a reply [11:40] paul68: okay, i'm not sure what else to suggest then [11:40] Gnea: states a delay of 2 weeks before answering [11:41] ok [11:41] so has problems? [11:41] Gnea: it's ok I'm glad you took the time to try and help me out [11:41] the big chief is here to assist [11:41] PeoplesAdvocate: you need to do a portforwarding on your router towards the internal port [11:42] ok guys, 2 problems. I have been testing everything on my new install and I see that i dont have wireless, and i need the 232codecs package but i cant find it. so, anyone got a tut on the wireless and know the new package name for w32codecs? [11:42] j2daosh: which version of ubuntu? [11:42] 8.10 [11:42] !codecs | j2daosh [11:42] j2daosh: 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 [11:43] j2daosh♂ Is it 64bit? [11:43] j2daosh: do you see the driver in the hardware section [11:43] nope [11:43] its like ubuntu doesn't think its there [11:43] j2daosh: system > administration > hardware drivers? which drivers broadcom or atheros? [11:44] it says atheros [11:44] and that the driver is activated and currently in use....? [11:45] how do you make the degree symbol? like * [11:45] j2daosh: if you click on your wireless icon in the taskbar can you select hidden wireless networks? [11:46] i dont have a wireless icon [11:46] guys need help [11:46] :( [11:46] j2daosh: sorry ment network icon [11:46] after installing the new kernel my wifi is not working anymore [11:46] any idea ? [11:46] j2daosh: the one closer to the clock === c0re_ is now known as [c0re] [11:46] network icon just refers to eth0 (the wired connection) [11:47] wait... [11:47] !wireless [11:47] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [11:47] there is eth0 and right below that "no carrier" [11:47] is that referring to the wired or the wireless (the no carrier part) [11:48] Does anybody has any idea why my pc deosn't open my wireless network when i hibernate or suspend? [11:48] dumb_dumb, atheros cars? [11:48] card :P [11:48] j2daosh: dunno but check out the link the bot just gave you [11:48] atheros is the key [11:48] ok, nevermind. i guess the icon is showing for the wireless and not the wired === desti_T2 is now known as desti [11:49] <[c0re]> can anyone help me with conky? [11:50] so what my problems then? [11:50] i`m using madwifi on my atheros [11:51] in the .lircrc file there are options such as delay and repeat, is it possible to add these to the Lircmap.xml? Like Repeat 5 Ddoes Y while Repeat 10 does X. So one button can do many things depending on how many times you push it. [11:51] ? [11:51] dumb_dumb, if youre running 8.10 then sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid [11:53] Skry can I do it on my old kernel [11:53] or i have to do it on the new kerjnel [11:54] Does anybody has any idea why my pc deosn't open my wireless network when i hibernate or suspend? [11:55] dumb_dumb, just do it [11:57] sken: I have the same problem here. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 and my wireless card does not work after a hibernation/suspend. Does anybody have a clue? [11:58] does anyone know where compiz puts it config file by default on ubuntu? I've just given myself a real mess, also if you know how I can get output of which x displays are currently active through the terminal (by name) that may help as well [11:58] yeah dude the same too [11:58] hi, new noob here so please be gentle, im trying to setup samba so i can access some windows shares and when i try to save the edited samba config file it says permission denied but im the only user on the system. so what do i do to fix this (im sure simple for you lot lol) issue? [11:59] dag nabbit... ok, i need to get the codecs package on to a external hard drive so i can get them on my laptop... how can i do that? [11:59] trying to save anything in etc i get permission denied [11:59] Zannyuk: you need to edit the file as root so need to use "sudo" to launch the editor of "gksudo" if it is a graphical editor [11:59] Zannyuk: eg: sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf [11:59] rangel do you have the problem that when you open a window the window show something black flickering for a very short time? [11:59] so every not and then evolution cashes, and with it pidgin. what services should I be ending to be able to start evoultion with out rebooting? [12:00] cool cheers all thx ikonia for reminding me of nano (tried debian a few months ago) [12:00] * Zannyuk runs upstairs to try it out on the other pc [12:00] *crashes [12:01] yo, having trouble with apt-get: http://pastebin.com/m6d99a1b [12:02] subdolus have you done what the error suggests ? [12:03] subdolus: like ikonia said, try using "sudo apt-get -f install" and if that doesnt work, trying installing each dependancy, use -f in necessary [12:03] thx again all you helpful bunch :) [12:04] my system keeps getting bogged down with "IO Waits" what does that imply? and how can I fix it, I feel like it is wrong for my system to hang for 10 seconds because I send a print job [12:04] hey can anyone with compiz do me a favor, open up the ccsm and quickly tell me what the default keystroke is to enable/disable the widget layer plugin in? would be a life saver [12:04] how can i get a package i would install through apt-get on to an external hard drive for porting to a machine with no internet access? [12:04] punzada: it should be F9 [12:05] TY [12:05] lol accidently make all my windows widgets [12:05] Dominik1: you wouldnt happen to be running a website with flash while your gettings IO Waits? [12:05] couldn't get anything [12:05] :) [12:05] punzada: lmfao, did it work? [12:05] Good day [12:05] WIGGMPK: no I am not, just amarok, pigin, terminal, Firefox [12:06] good day [12:06] Dominik1: have you tried closing Firefox ? [12:06] WIGGMPK: I suppose firefox has one tab with a little flash [12:07] Dominik1: the reason I ask is cause Firefox had a haulting type bug where it would hang your entire system for like 10 secs and then just go after that... I would try monitoring without firefox running and see if it helps [12:07] yeah WIGGMPk worked like a charm, thanks :) lol [12:07] punzada: np [12:08] funnyily enough I've been converting to mostly terminal based apps so popping into a tty to ask was no issue :P [12:08] so after the upgrade, I list all my saved wifi keys, is there a way I can recover them form my back up files? [12:08] where is mpeg_stat hidden? [12:09] Hi everyone! Requires the server openvpn for multiple client connections (to link multiple offices), encrypted using the x509 in ubuntu. [12:09] Need detailed instructions. [12:09] punzada: lucky you, i havent seen a tty since i was physically logged in on my server [12:09] hi. How to install ubuntu on a encrypted disk? So that only /boot is plain-text? [12:09] !encryption [12:09] Sundown: OpenVPN's webpage as a very detailed manual [12:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about encryption [12:09] hrm [12:09] I'm sure there's a factoid [12:10] !encrypted [12:10] For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [12:10] SlimeyPete: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:10] hello [12:10] How can I get around the libc6 dependency crap when upgrading to Intrepid? [12:10] SlimeyPete, i don't want only "private directories", I wan't everything encrypted, except the absolute necessary (/boot) [12:11] pwk: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/08/17/7-steps-to-an-encrypted-partition-local-or-removable-disk/ looks handy [12:11] hey guys [12:11] anyone know a good wifi detection tools ? [12:11] SlimeyPete, that also sounds very much like just a none system disk to be encrypted [12:12] the "tricky" part is not encrypting a disk, I can do that no problem, but to have the *system* disk encrypted, so it has to be decrypted very early [12:12] mumbles: watch iwlist scan? :-) [12:12] [12:12] You may use skrpity automatic generation of keys? [12:12] Can anyone please tell me where the xconfig file is located in 8.10 [12:12] WIGGMPK: I feel like not running firefox improved the issue, what can I do to save ff? [12:12] Dominik1: good question.. was there a flash applet running in firefox? [12:13] I just did a release upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 yesterday and now my sound had stopped working. M-Audio 2496 card. Weird thing is, sound works when playing a video through VLC player but nothing else it seems [12:13] WIGGMPK: there was one tab with a lil flash, I close tab, performance went up, I close all of firefox, performance went up again [12:13] any ideas? [12:14] Skry : can`t find linux-backports-modules-intrepid package [12:14] WIGGMPK: I am still getting the same amount of IO Wait, but it seems like this time it doesn't block other requrests... does that make sense? [12:14] Dominik1: well thats generally common, if you close any application, your performance is going to go up because your running less of a load. I would try and compare regular browsing of firefox to the wait times you were experincing.. if you only notice that Firefox is causing a big problem when flash is running, then consider getting an addon like flashblock === rohit is now known as rohitk === rohitk is now known as rohitkat [12:15] sundown: i found this page that might help you out with your OpenVPN problem, but I would also suggest reading the documentation on there own website. http://www.djatlantic.net/?p=335 === possaceh is now known as rieza [12:17] WIGGMPK: from system resource manager I can see that I have 100% "IO Wait" but only about maybe 10 to 20% CPU utilization, but even mouse movement is choppy, and hdd sounds like its working [12:18] Dominik1: are you running Hardy? are you up-to-date with updates? [12:18] yo yo yo [12:18] WIGGMPK: fresh install of 8.10, full updates [12:18] i'm trying to install nvidia-177-kernel-source, but it fails because the linux-source is not found, though it is installed. [12:19] * philpinch is away: Away from keyboard [12:19] neptun123: reinstall the linux-source module then retry [12:19] * philpinch is back (gone 00:00:21) [12:19] Dominik1: i havent ventured to Intrepid Ibex yet, this might be new to 8.10, but sounds similar to the issue in Hardy. Honestly I dont have any good advise for you, keep asking & try web browsing (google, launchpad, forums, etc) [12:19] Dominik1: sorry I couldnt be more help [12:20] i tried to install the new operating system with the update application [12:20] Dominik1: wassup man?

[12:22] dumb_dumb: or apt-get --reinstall install whatever you did to get it working [12:22] Squish: same place as in 8.04 [12:22] and also the system restarted in low resolution mode [12:23] i`m using madwifi on atheros [12:23] uriol: id get updated then sort the gfx out [12:23] ok [12:23] dumb_dumb: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install madwifi-tools [12:24] i have to do it every time i update the kernel? [12:24] Gnea: where is that?

[12:30] plus logging in as root is a bad habbit as smoking cigarettes [12:30] Squish: running it as a user limits access but also makes your system a lot more secure [12:30] ill keep that in mind [12:30] mmm cigarettes [12:30] :D [12:30] Squish: you dont need root access all the time, hence sudo for one shot power [12:30] hell yeah [12:30] Hell I might light up a smoke right now.

If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [12:34] yyoZ: if you aren't willing to remove nm you have to empty /etc/network/interfaces and log off/reboot [12:34] yyoZ: that worked for me [12:34] where do I set up an ssh command to run on every login (with root privileges)? just need some pointers...

[12:39] how do i check if the 'vim' package supports '+cindent' [12:39] jpv950: just sounds like there would be a better solution. Doesn't seem "clean" to me. I don't know though, so you can just add it to your startup like in the ubottu link [12:39] bullgard4: it's an alternative (more traditional to X) copy/paste mechanism that X has [12:39] Paavi2_0: ;) [12:39] nomego: search launchpad for similar bugs [12:39] earthnative: no need to hold shift, just selecting copies [12:39] How do i configure spelling options in gnome-native applications (such as the gnome-blog-applet)?

[12:40] hey all, my screen res has just gone 640x480 for no reason [12:40] no not at all, the only weird thing was the nvidia 177 driver, which wasn't working for me, so i replaced it with 173 [12:40] jrib: hmmm, i figured it out for this case, thanks xD [12:40] no changes whatsoever jsut gnome stopped working and now will only boot into 640x480 [12:40] diversion of /. to /usr by /usr/bin [12:41] moDumass: you'll need to resetup your gfx [12:41] felli: That's,hm. dpkg -l /usr/bin, what does that say?

"error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [12:45] moDumass: You should remove all resolution referencse from xorg.conf.

[12:46] gcbirzan, thas a lot of stuff to remove [12:46] NicEXE: Install libgtk2.0-0 if you don't already have it installed, then run ldconfig [12:46] bullgard4: im just saying how it sucks theres no copy shortcut [12:46] just done [12:46] moDumass: X will do a way better job at detecting the available resolutions than anything else.

[12:58] in ubuntu, why wouldnt i have permissions to edit files in another partition when i put them there? according to permissions the partition is owned my root and i can change permissions so i can edit the files and using "sudo chown/chmod" gives me "operation not permitted" [12:58] natalisushka: yeah, the gui doesn't store them directly in /etc/network/interfaces so you need to make sure you use the gui from the get-go [12:58] tul_: so now you can install them as you will see what makes / model they are [12:59] moDumass: what changed between when it was working and when it stopped working? Did you install updates? Get a new monitor? [12:59] oops, i meant i cant change permissions... [12:59] ActionParsnip1, what is it for? My problem isn't connecting to eth0 or wlan0 .. it's getting the icon appear when I am connected to eth0 [12:59] bigmack83: what filesystem? [12:59] Gnea, what is get-go ? [12:59] bigmack83: CAPS LOCK isn't on, is it? [12:59] natalisushka: its a different gui for network config [12:59] enjww [12:59] natalisushka: "from the start" [12:59] jrib, nothing, i was surfing the net, got up, watched some entourage and my desktop stopped responding to mouse clicks, well everything [13:00] so i alt ctl del`d [13:00] and now im in 640x480 land [13:00] jrib, fat32. its mostly just music [13:00] Gnea, Ok, so what do you suggest? [13:00] Strife89, no caps lock [13:00] i still have compiz fusion, but only in 630x480 [13:00] bigmack83: you need to set permissions in the mount options [13:00] !vfat > bigmack83 [13:00] bigmack83, please see my private message [13:00] bigmack83: Just checking, that bit me for a while once. :) [13:00] ok thanks [13:01] natalisushka: the second you edit that interfaces file, you've detracted the whole gui interface. you can either use the interfaces file or the gui to manage your network settings - by not using the gui, you won't get any icons unless you specifically add something to the panel to show traffic [13:01] moDumass: you could run envyng-gtk if its nvidia or ati [13:01] Strife89, lol yea it has me too [13:01] moDumass: did you hold the power button on your computer or just use the keyboard to shutdown normally? [13:01] jrib, thanks [13:01] well this is as useless as the forums [13:01] natalisushka: i would try to find a stock copy of the interfaces file, reboot, and try the gui again [13:01] natalisushka: you could sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old [13:01] natalisushka: then reboot [13:01] Hello everyone. Is there a specific room I have to join for network issues? [13:01] Gnea, sounds good [13:02] ronhalfdanr: learning can sometimes be frustrating. [13:02] djupp: #networking [13:02] natalisushka: you will then have to resetup networking using the gui [13:02] awesome, thanks Gnea [13:02] mowi ktos po polsku?? [13:02] ronhalfdanr: And if that fails, consider a Live CD to install fresh. [13:02] SOURdiesel: yup, so can piss poor indexing of "help" [13:02] !pl | osa [13:02] osa: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [13:02] ActionParsnip1, Gnea thanks! I will do that right away [13:02] SOURdiesel: Tell me about it....... [13:02] what works, works great, what doesn;t work sucks [13:02] amen [13:02] Strongly agreed. [13:03] firing on all pistons here [13:03] so zero suckage for me [13:03] ronhalfdnr ...wise words my friend :D [13:03] jrib. after the alt ctrl bit it jsut went to login screen with 640x480, so i selected restart and it stopped about half way and seemed to hang so i used the power button [13:03] did that Strife89 [13:03] I've reinstalled Ubuntu twice so far since I switched. [13:03] give a man a fish, he eats for a day. if he learns to fish, he eats forever. [13:03] allergic to fish [13:04] :) [13:04] SOURdiesel: he wont eat forever, hes a man, he'll swap if for a fish [13:04] Bread, then? [13:04] ronhalfdanr? are you allergic to fish!? OMG!!! [13:04] or duck [13:04] ActionParsnip1: Ha! [13:04] yep knoppix [13:04] all fish or just shelfish? [13:04] teach him to fish and you can sell him fishing gear forever [13:04] fish is the only thing edible on this planet [13:04] anything that lives in the ocean [13:04] platius: amen to that [13:04] if you like fishin you should go to Norway, right? [13:04] turn him vegan [13:04] what is God doing right now? [13:05] knoppix: you forgot chicken. [13:05] Ive got a closet full [13:05] So how hard is this ubuntu thing to learn, new fish for the fryer here O_o [13:05] knoppix: to me, not existing [13:05] knoppix: surfing porn sites [13:05] vegan old indian word for bad hunter [13:05] knoppix: Only He knows...... [13:05] Telrunn: not hard at all [13:05] i have a Nvidia FX5200 card wich isnt installed correctly on my Interepid Ibex, the Hardware Drivers window tells me there were no propietary drivers for my system ...

[13:06] okay guys [13:06] moDumass: you might be able to get your resolutions to work if you disable "UseEdidFreqs" (http://ru.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/177.80/README/appendix-b.html), but I'd be sure to run fsck on your drive and wary of your install [13:06] That was just uncalled for.

[13:07] Telrunn: Keep a good Live CD handy to be safe. :) [13:07] Sweet got my resolution working fine now :D [13:08] hello, i've got some question about kernel modules from ubuntu-backports: im using the ath5k wlan driver from ubuntu-backport, 1) how do i know about the version/date of the driver i get from ubuntu-backports 2) is there a clever way to always get the latest version of the driver? its buggy on my nc10 [13:08] hey folks [13:08] lol I'm ahead of you on that one Strife89, this is actually my second Live install, found out what terminal did the hard way O_o [13:08] Telrunn: :) [13:08] My LCD screen doesnt auto detect when i plug it in. would i have to edit the xconf file again to change this? [13:09] jrib, my partitions are all already mounted. the page assumes theyre not. should i try to unmount them and start with that page? [13:09] i got a problem with AIDE + Hardy.....installation went fine, but "aideinit" gives me: A34:Error while reading configuration:( AIDE --init return code 17; see /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new for details" [13:09] problem is that /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new doesn't exist [13:09] jrib, im able to access the files arelady [13:09] bigmack83: how are they being mounted? Are they in fstab? [13:09] bigmack83: You can, except for your root partition. [13:09] there are similar launchpad-comments, but they are _ages_ old [13:10] file browser freezes for root, home and user folders................any clues? [13:10] jrib, they were setup when i installed ubuntu (8.04). yes theyre in fstab already [13:10] Squish: detected in what way? [13:10] bigmack83: pastebin your fstab [13:10] Strife89, well the extra partitions are owed by root and cant modify them. only access [13:10] ActionParsnip1: well when i plug it in nothing happens, it just tells me to check the signal cable [13:10] jrib, ok. one moment [13:11] !ati [13:11] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:11] hello, i've got some question about kernel modules from ubuntu-backports: im using the ath5k wlan driver from ubuntu-backport, 1) how do i know about the version/date of the driver i get from ubuntu-backports 2) is there a clever way to always get the latest version of the driver? its buggy on my nc10 [13:11] Squish: is the card set as primary in bios? [13:11] bigmack83: By "root partition," I mean the partition Ubuntu is installed on. :) [13:11] Alright, I'll ask here as well, as it concerns ubuntu: Upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, was previously connected with a broadcomm 4328 Chipset to a wireless router (Driver: Ndiswrapper). Now there is the wl module in 8.10, but both wl as well as ndiswrapper failed to open my hardware. Running lspci shows the chip present. [13:11] Squish: does it show bootup messages? [13:11] depape, "aptitude show your_package" [13:11] no [13:11] jrib, http://pastebin.com/d49f22655 [13:12] ronhalfdanr: Right now I can only assume Nautilus is somehow broken. -_- [13:12] Hi all. I have a problem with my wifi. I tried to patch it with the aircrack patch driver, so I could turn it on monitor mode, but it didn work. So, I decided to install the normal rt61 driver, and now I can see all the wifi accesspoints near me, but the link quality of all of them is 0%. What should I do? [13:12] hello cool ubu guys [13:12] Strife89, no that one is fine. its a seperate partition i use for media files. ubuntu is on /sda2 , the other partition is on /sda4 [13:12] Strife89: nautilus can get into everything but those 3 folders, so can the places file browser [13:12] jollyroger: but does that give me the version/date of the ath5k driver? the driver lies in linux-modules-backports-intrepid i think [13:13] what timed log in [13:13] ? [13:13] bigmack83: And what does "sudo umount /dev/sda4" do? [13:13] depape, yes [13:14] depape, did you configure the repository correctly in /etc/apt/sources.list? [13:14] Strife89: dont you umount the mountpoint, not the device? [13:14] what timed login is>? [13:14] ronhalfdanr: Try to "cd" into them in the terminal. [13:14] depape, if yes, aptitude or apt for that matter should display what you need to [13:14] jollyroger: well, all that i did was i enabled backports via the package-sources gui [13:14] Strife89, unmounts the volume apparently [13:14] heh [13:14] Strife89: as in syntax cd/foldername? [13:15] jrib, because the shutdown didnt complete would it have overwriten my display settings res somewhere? [13:15] ronhalfdanr: cd foldername [13:15] how do you run a 32bit application on Ubuntu amd64? I am trying to run Zend Studio 6 [13:15] jollyroger: is there a specific "branch" i can enable to get the very very latest version of ath5k/backports? [13:15] why do i get sound from the speakers too although i plugged in earphones? [13:15] jin: you need 32bit libs [13:15] jin: it can be done [13:15] moDumass: no [13:15] Kartagis, I had the same issue, try rebooting? [13:15] (sounds very windows-like I know) [13:16] bigmack83: mkdir /tmp/mine; sudo mount /dev/sda4 /tmp/mine [13:16] for my webcam I need the gspca driver. its in the ubuntu repos as source only. so that means i have to compile it myself, right? and that the package only downloads the source. if that is so, then were is the source downloaded to do you think? and why would someone package the source code only? [13:16] bigmack83: what's the output of 'id' [13:16] bigmack83: The colon is separating the commands there. [13:16] Strife89, and only root can remount it [13:16] hmm, any idea what would have caused it or where to start lookin to fix it? [13:16] djupp, I'll try [13:16] colon -> semicolon [13:16] jrib, uid=1000(bigmack) gid=1000(bigmack) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),106(fuse),108(lpadmin),114(admin),1000(bigmack) [13:17] bigmack83: Right-click on the Applications menu. [13:17] Kartagis, alright, if not come back :) [13:17] moDumass: see if adding the edid option lets things work. That will give clues [13:17] bigmack83: Choose Edit Menus. [13:17] Strife89: terminal starts in desktop........what can I cd to from there? [13:17] bigmack83: ls -ld /media/sda4 [13:17] Hi all. I have a problem with my wifi. I tried to patch it with the aircrack patch driver, so I could turn it on monitor mode, but it didn work. So, I decided to install the normal rt61 driver, and now I can see all the wifi accesspoints near me, but the link quality of all of them is 0%. What should I do? [13:17] depape, ath5k should be already included in the default kernel [13:17] Strife89, ok [13:17] why dont you use that one? [13:17] no backports etc needed [13:17] bigmack83: Click on System Tools, and check Root Terminal. :) [13:18] ronhalfdanr: The _Desktop_? [13:18] al3x-admin: does the connection give you data? [13:18] Strife89, ok [13:18] well, i read some tutorial in which it sais that i have to turn on backports before using ath5k [13:18] Strife89: ron@ron-desktop [13:18] al3x-admin: you may have to disable acpi [13:18] jrib, drwxrwx--- 6 root plugdev 32768 1969-12-31 16:00 /media/sda4 [13:18] ronhalfdanr: ron-desktop is your computer's network name. [13:18] I guess a few of you are running urxvt and irssi. When trying to switch to window X via ALT+X it just prints some characters on the input line instead of switching to window X. Any idea why that happens? [13:18] bigmack83: and you can't write to /media/sda4? [13:18] jollyroger: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=444263#p444263 [13:18] ronhalfdanr: You're in your home folder. [13:19] ronhalfdanr: What does ls say? [13:19] ActionParsnipl: Yesterday I was able to connect to my wifi, but them I patched the driver .... and now I cant. Sure ACPI is the problem? [13:19] first, how do I see what's in home? [13:19] al3x-admin: it maybe, its worth a shot, you can always turn it back on if its no different [13:19] Hey guys! How can I get the latest version of Blender? The one in the repos is old. I'm on Hardy. I CAN get a tarball, but I want it to be installed into the usual directory structure. [13:19] jrib, no i cant [13:19] ssomething similar to dos dir command? [13:20] bigmack83: touch /media/sda4/i-can-write-to-sda4 [13:20] ronhalfdanr: ls ~/ [13:20] ActionParsnipl: Ok, how can I disable it? [13:20] ronhalfdanr: ls pretty much does that. :) [13:20] !bootoptions [13:20] For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [13:20] sweet [13:20] * Strife89 badly needs to eat breakfast. [13:20] depape, ok, did you follow that tutorial? [13:21] folder names are blue? [13:21] ActionParsnipl: Ok, and if is not the acpi? What else could I do? [13:21] ronhalfdanr: Yep. :) [13:21] depape, in case you have included the backport-repository, you will receive driver-updates automatically [13:21] ronhalfdanr: Sorry, I _really_ need to get some food...... [13:21] jollyroger: yes, and i am running this on a Samsung NC10 but both drivers (ath5k and madwifi) dont work for me :/ [13:21] al3x-admin: dunno, maybe its a bug in the patch [13:21] jrib, that creates the proper file. but i still cant create files drom nautilus or make a link to a file [13:21] go for it Strife89< ineed more coffee [13:21] bigmack83: press "reload" in nautilus [13:22] jollyroger: via sudo apt-get upgrade? or is there a "testing"-branch [13:22] how can i remove a programme [13:22] ActionParsnipl: Yeah, I tought that, and thats why I uninstalled it, and installed the normal driver, but still doesnt work :S [13:22] Is ubuntu easy to use? [13:22] al3x-admin: id try acpi and then head back here if no joy [13:22] jrib, i still get, "There was an error creating the symlink in /media/sda4, Error making symbolic link: Operation not permitted" [13:23] draplater: some say yes, some say no [13:23] bigmack83: can you create a file there now? [13:23] bigmack83: you can't put symlinks on vfat afaik [13:23] ActionParsnipl: Ok, thanks for the help. [13:23] draplater: its fairly simple to use, settin it up can be fun as not all hardware works immediately sometimes [13:23] anybody experiencing some strange behaviour of rxvt-unicode? (urxvt) like: it stays at the top left corner and doesn't accept any input [13:24] jrib, ok yea i can create a file now. and ok i will have to make the link in the cli then. [13:24] depape, yes, via apt-get upgrade. or you can just use synaptic or the system-updater-applet [13:24] bigmack83: it shouldn't work via cli either, but try [13:24] jollyroger: thanks [13:24] depape, your welcome [13:24] jrib, ok so you cant link to item in vfat period then? [13:25] hi [13:25] i upgraded to 8.10 and my usb mouse and keyboard no longer work [13:25] bigmack83: well maybe you can symlink to a file in the vfat partition, but you can't have the link in vfat, try and see :) [13:25] i get errors when booting: usb device not accepting address 13, error -71, unable to enumerate usb device on port 6 [13:25] i've tried running dpkg-reconfigure but that does not fix the problem [13:26] any suggestions? [13:26] hi is this the place where i need to ask my problems [13:26] jrib, well i can do a symlink. just want to make a shortcut on my Desktop linking to my music, movies, etc... [13:26] bigmack83: sure, that will work [13:27] Werid, when I double click on an archived file (like tar.gz) instead of getting the archive manager i get an error saying "There is no application installed for this file type" [13:27] anyone know of a swf editor [13:27] djupp, it didn't work [13:27] that i can use under ubuntu [13:27] jrib, k, cool. well at least i can modify files now. thanks [13:27] Hello, just 1 question, Is it possible to change the "tint" of the panel icons and the application list buttons? I'm trying to use a blue backround Image and the appear as ugly white. [13:27] WIGGMPk: right click -> open with -> archive manager does that work? [13:28] Kartagis, I guess then I'm already lost.

[13:30] Kartagis, e.g. Updated to Ubuntu 8.10 or installed a new app or something? [13:30] Jakob_the_liar: Ok, my bad, sorry [13:30] does anyone know how I can shrink the swap partition? [13:30] Jakob_the_liar: man ffmpeg (?) [13:30] djupp, nothing [13:30] woody86: boot to live cd then resize with gparted. backup your data first [13:30] Kartagis, no updates, no nothing?

[13:37] saam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [13:38] Minion_: #compiz-fusion [13:38] saam: looks like foremost will save you [13:38] jimcooncat, trickle expects something like this: (trickle -d -u ) , cmd can't take parameters [13:38] Dr_Willis64: amen [13:38] anyone here using the MSI Wind ? [13:39] chadeldridge: ive been loking at one, looks decent [13:39] ActionParsnip1: i am wondering what the compatibility with linux is .. did i understand correctly there is a specific eee pc kernel ? [13:39] ok how do i delete it?? [13:39] hacked_kernel: " sudo trickle aptitude update && sudo trickle aptitude dist-upgrade": will do a stand-alone trickle that works [13:40] pan nzb app doesnt seem to be in the repos for ibex, is that right? anyone know about this? [13:40] hacked_kernel: you're talking about trickle as a daemon, which I'm not familiar with [13:40] jimcooncat, thanks [13:40] chadeldridge: theres a module in it that asus refuse to surrender the code for and its causing a big stink [13:40] Minion_, depends on what you want to do exacctly.. I dont know where compiz keeps all its settings some .SOMTHING directory but i dont know where [13:40] Dr_Willis64: how do i delete it? [13:40] jobe: pan is in the Intrepid repos. [13:40] ActionParsnip1: i wonder if the wind needs it since its not an asus machine [13:40] hey, i have screen installed and i'm trying to use the Split command (C^a S) but it isn't working, does anyone know why? [13:40] ok well maybe reinstall then [13:40] Minion_, thats windows thinking.. learn your os. [13:40] chadeldridge: then i imagine it wont [13:41] be back in 30 mins [13:41] hacked_kernel: supposedly if you have the daemon running, trickle will automatically use it when you use a command like I showed [13:41] ive had it 2 days give me a break [13:41] chadeldridge: its only needed as asus use garbage proprietary acpi hardware that they keep secret [13:41] !info pan | jobe [13:41] jobe: pan (source: pan): A Newsreader based on GTK2, which looks like Forte Agent.

Still nothing. Do you have any other solution? [13:41] The sbackup program that comes with ubuntu backups up /var/ /usr/local/ and /etc/ in addition to /home/. This implies to me that there are important files and settings not in /home/ (I'm new). I want to do a clean install of ubuntu 8.10, but the installer only offers me the option of keeping my /home/ partition. What settings and files will I be losing by losing /var/, /usr/local/ and /etc/ ? [13:42] Minion_, so go reinstall if you want.. or try to fix things. :) [13:42] Pici: doh, ok thanks. I must have used wrong search terms :( [13:42] hacked_kernel: using it as a daemon gives you some load-balancing, whatever. I never saw the need for it [13:42] chadeldridge: same sorta thing with acer. theres code for a special power module that makes everything spring to life, sucks [13:42] its all about time, untill i get used to the os [13:42] γεια σας [13:42] ActionParsnip1: makes the wind look even better [13:42] hhlp: was just looking through the logs of the "Ubuntu Netbook Remix" session in IRC on Wednesday and I realised I didn't answer your question properly [13:42] Minion_, you were not very clear on what the exact issue was either... Ifyou use compiz. you MUST use the ccsm tool to set the # of desktops. not the gnome tools [13:43] !training | Minion_ [13:43] Minion_: A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training [13:43] hhlp: You question was "what is the diference between ubuntu-eepc and UNR" [13:43] Minion_, that guide i just gave ya is a little old.. but its free and a good read. :) [13:43] Dr_Willis64: a book? whatever next [13:43] IrishDavid: you are hitting shift-s, not just s right? [13:43] ActionParsnip1, Yep. :) for the 'total beginner' :) [13:44] yes [13:44] hhlp: The ubuntu-eeepc project is aimed more at hw support on the eeePC (such as wireless) [13:44] jrib, yes [13:44] ActionParsnip1, he can read it while he reinstalls i guess... [13:44] hhlp: UNR is meant to be a interface that works well on any netbook [13:44] Hi, I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and I have a problem with sending e-mails to some adresses.

Whenever I boot up, Ubuntu wants to run a check of the hardrive (i'm assuming that's what it's doing anyway) and while I always try to let Ubuntu do it's thing, if I let it run this check it takes me through a bunch of screens and then leaves me at what looks like a black and white version of terminal logged in as root, and it says I need to run fschk or something like that manually, well the [14:06] <_hase> one time I tried to do that it gave me errors and asked me if I wanted to clear or erase the inode or something, is there some command I type into terminal to make all this go away? thanks in advance [14:06] what do i need to add? [14:06] Hey everyone, creative has released new drivers for x-fi [14:06] they work [14:07] Crosswing: isn't the bonding module comes as a *module* ? Why are you compiling it by hand?

I think you just need the ifenslave package. [14:10] dfgas: Then something else is /not/ using dmix as it should.

[14:10] <_hase> joaopinto, when you say I might lose some files because my FS is corrupted, does that mean I'll lose them as soon as I run that command? When I tried to do the thing it said before I ended up that screen for the xorg being wrong and I hate that screen [14:10] Crosswing you can still install the server kernel on kubuntu [14:10] hi. how do i output to file? e.g. grep -l pattern file [14:10] ddy: not really sure about this .. but the error makes me think that either you're not throwing the right switches to compile the program or it won't compile in a 64bit environ. only 32 [14:10] <_hase> Like, it's not going to mess up the xorg to run that command, is basically what I meant to ask [14:10] Crosswing: it's easier/better/supported rather than trying to build your own kernel [14:10] <_seraphim_> Kartagis, sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [14:11] ikonia: I see. [14:11] lakitu: Pipe it with ">". grep -l foo > output [14:11] _hase, yes, you may lose some files by running the command, but that is the only way to fix your filesystem right now [14:11] ikonia: how exactly do I install the server kernel? [14:11] lakitu: grep -l pattern file > outfile [14:11] <_hase> ok, thanks joaopinto, I'll do it, I just hope it doesn't delete all my wife's music [14:11] hm, i thought i tried - maybe i malformed my search [14:11] Crosswing: open the package manager, search for "kernel" and you'll see the server kernel [14:11] tried [14:11] ok thanks, gammy & erUSUL [14:11] =) [14:11] _hase, the corruption risk is mostly for files beeing changed during the corruption event [14:11] _seraphim_, what am i looking for? [14:12] which kernel to install that my ubuntu 32bit recognizes my 4 gig ram? [14:12] lakitu: note that won't pipe stderr to it. Only stdout. [14:12] <_hase> "WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause [14:12] <_hase> SEVERE filesystem damage." carry on? [14:12] lakitu: (Ie, you won't get errors in the file) [14:12] julian__, you can use the server kernel [14:12] ikonia: I'm forced to do it through console, I don't have physical access. [14:12] <_hase> Is it supposed to say that? [14:12] _hase no [14:12] <_seraphim_> Kartagis, at the end of the file add "options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba" [14:12] how do i grep a whole folder of files for a line? [14:12] gammy, ok [14:12] Crosswing ok, so apt-cache search kernel [14:12] _hase, no, you are supposed to run the command from rescue mode [14:12] <_seraphim_> Kartagis, without the quotes [14:12] julian__: 32bit should, id go 64bit with that much ram [14:12] <_hase> what's resuce mode? [14:12] what's the differences between generic and rt? [14:12] <_hase> and no don't run it now? k [14:12] Crosswing: then apt-get install "kernel-file" where kernel-file is the correct package name [14:12] How can I get apache online?? [14:12] lakitu: If you want to include errors, do some magic, "> output 2&>1" [14:12] some mime file has some crap entries and keeps me from adding my own [14:12] draplater: real time [14:12] scientes: grep -R pattern dir/ [14:12] ActionParsnip1: i have some huge trouble with 64bit and drivers [14:12] gammy, well, pidgin uses alsa or oss, vlc uses alsa or oss, flash seems to use alsa or flash too [14:12] _hase, it's an option on your boot list, but also it's the prompt you are actually getting because of the corruption [14:12] <_seraphim_> Kartagis, after that you will need to reboot computer [14:12] das_maze: real time clock processing (good for things like music recording) [14:13] gammy, same with vbox as well [14:13] How can I get apache online?? [14:13] ikonia: that generates a lot of output, going to look at it. [14:13] Gammy:thanks for the hint about tomsrtbt. I'm on a laptop at the moment, so no floppy right now to test it, ut thanks anyway. [14:13] draplater real time clock processing (good for things like music recording) [14:13] lakitu: Erm I meant "> output 2>&1". [14:13] jenka install it it should auto start [14:13] <_hase> I'm kind of nervous to do it, cause if It messes up my xorg and I can't log back into the chat I won't have anyway to find help [14:13] Squeakyneb: Sure. [14:13] can anyone help me with my sound problem? [14:13] <_seraphim_> Kartagis, after reboot you should see in volume control a switcses tab [14:13] gammy: wow, now it worked. =/ user error. thanks - i'm good [14:13] _hase back up your xorg.conf file [14:13] lakitu: :). [14:13] _hase: install irssi, command line irc-client [14:13] _seraphim_, and? [14:14] _hase: and backup xorg.conf ;P [14:14] <_hase> ikonia, I hate to sound like a windows noob, but do I back the xorg just by copying and pasting? [14:14] jenka:apache gennerally puts itself online straight away. open a web browser an go to http://localhost [14:14] _hase: yep thats how its done eaily ;) [14:14] <_seraphim_> Kartagis, when you whant to use the headset only select the Headphone from the switches tab and mute the Front from the playback tab [14:14] _hase: no need to be ashamed of being new, just copy the /etc/X11//xorg.conf file to a new file so that you have a "copy" of the file === DRNK-E is now known as drunky [14:14] <_hase> thanks! [14:14] what for a driver is used for a rt61 under kubuntu 8?

[14:15] <_seraphim_> Kartagis, sorry..i had the same problem with my laptop [14:15] is it possible to install ubuntu by boot camp on a mac, I already have windows installed [14:16] X4D: for the later do "sudo chmod +g dir" [14:16] jenka: go to another computer on the lan and goto http:// [14:16] <_hase> i hate how the terminal doesn't say if it worked when stuff works, double checking to the xorg backup and then I'm going to reboot into rescue mode [14:16] anyone here can tell me how do i install full pack of Russian language? what i type in terminal?

[14:16] ikonia: I am going to install 'linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-16-server', however I think my kernel version is 2.6.20 [14:16] _hase: in linux, no news is good news [14:16] jenka: server ip* [14:16] _hase: heh thats how it says it went without errors ;P [14:16] runpain2_: can you repeat your problem (I've just joined) [14:16] ok [14:16] <_seraphim_> Kartagis, if taht does not work then you will need to use other driver (instead of toshiba) but this is by testing [14:16] Crosswing no [14:16] thx! [14:16] <_hase> ok, all backed up, and I installed the command line irc thing [14:16] Crosswing that is a modules package [14:16] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument [14:16] jenka: did that work?

[14:17] _hase: now you should practice using irssi to learn how to load it and log into a server then log into this channel.. [14:17] yet i here beep from this room [14:17] Crosswing better [14:17] erUSUL: thanks I'll try that [14:18] jenka: ah, k. Lets assume it is working. You need to setup your router for port forwarding. try 10.1.1.1 or 192.168.1.1 [14:18] gotta go. thnx [14:18] Please, can I have a recommendation. Of the various WYSIWYG HTML editors, which one creates the cleanest code, using CSS? [14:18] what for a driver is used for a rt61 under kubuntu 8? [14:18] jenka:you want your router to forward port 80 to the servers ip address. [14:18] somebody has to know [14:19] modrobe -l|grep rt61 [14:19] ok [14:19] when i try to play a sound file it wont play now Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument [14:19] anyone here can help me to install full russian language pack? i just want to know what i have to type in terminal... [14:19] jenka:some routers call port forwarding virtual server [14:19] thomas_sch: rt61pci.ko [14:19] thx i knew it [14:19] thx soundray [14:19] jenka: just be aware that some isp's block port 80 so you might have to change the port to another. [14:19] thomas_sch: immer gern [14:20] should i open port 80 on my router? [14:20] has anyone else had sounds problems since upgrading to 8.10? [14:20] change to context analog [14:20] PerSeL: sudo apt-get install language-pack-ru ? [14:20] it worked [14:20] jenka: try it and see if it works.. if it doesn't then you'll have to make changes. [14:20] soundray: ubuntu usern zu helfen ist für mich schwer da ich kein ubuntu hab :) [14:20] Ok [14:20] at the login screen I get the drum sound, vlc plays sound to video but amaok is having a fit [14:20] jenka: web servers use port 80 by default. you can use any port, but then you will have to go to : [14:20] !de | thomas_sch [14:20] thomas_sch: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [14:20] and none of the tests work in gnome sound configuration [14:21] I'Äm sry [14:21] thomas_sch: okay... sorry, I should have stuck to English [14:21] jenka:but you will have to open a port somewhere [14:21] I am running the latest ubuntu 64 on my laptop. It was working fine, and then one boot the progress bar got stuck. I reset and that fixed it a few times. I used module assistant to to build alsa after the fact. That was making /sbin/modprobe fail on startup, so I removed alsa base from /etc/modprob.d/ using the live cd. I reboot and I got this loading bar issue again, same %, reset doesnt appear to fix it now. [14:21] urUSUL: will it install full pack of the language? like interface, typing etc...? [14:21] Ok [14:22] mikosee: id check your hard drive health [14:22] scratch that, loading kernel drivers is saying /sbin/modprobe abnormally terminated. [14:22] Its booting :) just takes forever. [14:22] PerSeL: i spect it to pull most stuff needed [14:22] and none of the tests work in gnome sound configuration [14:23] so I assume the alsa i built is bad, how do i stop it from loading [14:23] has usb-creator worked for anyone? [14:23] jenka: i have to go. sorry. I might see you later. Someone here will be able to help you. Good luck with your server.

[14:25] aleka: vim-full also enable it in your ~/.vimrc [14:25] aleka: install the "vim" or "vim-gnome" package [14:26] erUSUL: as in "set vim-full" in my ~/.vimrc? [14:26] * ActionParsnip1 uses nano [14:26] jrib: on a box without an x-server [14:27] aleka: vim-nox [14:27] aleka: no; vim-full is a package. The keywrod in vimrc is "syntax on" or something like that [14:27] _seraphim_, thanks. I'll try that [14:27] is umask on a user basis or directory ? [14:28] philippe_: Not a very interesting test. System response time and more desktop-related stuff was not taken into consideration at all. [14:28] aleka: confirmed a line like "syntax on" will do it [14:28] aleka: though I'm not immediately sure of the difference between the vim and vim-nox packages [14:28] X4D: user [14:29] How can I get apache online?? [14:29] <_cb> In Windows I used to use Ghost to insur I could recover all my programs and settings. (Data is backed differently). How do I do that i Ubuntu? How do I know where Ubuntu puts things at? (Ie I have no idea where Evolution is storing my mail at) [14:29] gammy, It's better than no test. :P Ubuntu is not that bad I think so. Especially that Mac OS X is optimized over a specific architecture and Ubuntu can manage many of them [14:29] !lamp > jenka [14:29] jenka, please see my private message [14:29] hi there is an applet in ubuntu which shows the current available wireless connections, do you know the name of this applet?

[14:29] erUSUL: the command you suggested "sudo chmod g+s" does it apply to subdirectories created after running the command? [14:29] _cb: use clonezilla or partimage as ghost replacement [14:30] X4D: not sure but i do not think so [14:30] _cb: use "partimage".. its kinda like ghost.. just images one partition at a time.. [14:30] philippe_: Yeah. However after using linux(not uniquely ubuntu) and os x for four years on machines with little RAM, linux is far, far, FAR more responsive than os x. [14:30] hey. Anyone using the vuze package? My torrents never download for some reason - something somewhere is broken with it [14:30] aleka: you said you didn't want things related to X? vim-full just pulls in vim-gnome [14:30] philippe_: In my peronal opinion I'd actually claim os x to be almost ten times slower when it comes to user response under high loads. [14:30] erUSUL: negative on the vim-full package... it's got a bunch of gnome-dependencies and I am using it from a terminal [14:31] philippe_: Interesting read though. Thanks for the link. [14:31] aleka: use the vim-nox sugested by jrib [14:31] gammy, Ok! Yeah np [14:31] question: I just installed the xfonts-jmk package, but I don't see the Neep (alt) and modd fonts in the xchat or fontmatrix lists, even after running defoma-reconfigure === genii-2 is now known as genii-around [14:31] when you'r listing the file in nautilus in compact mode, how can you change the filename length to display?

[14:35] russell__: uh... not anymore than if you had vista installed - what makes you think otherwise? [14:35] Has anyone been able to create a live USB image? [14:36] russell__: that depends on what hardware is there [14:36] cyphase: debootstrap [14:36] How can I temporarily disable the hal/gnome automounter?

[14:37] sschaefer: i mean with usb-creator [14:37] russell__, Ubuntu doesn't care whether or not Vista is installed. your hardware will be supported to the same extent under Ubuntu, regardless of Vista being installed. [14:37] sorry to reask, but I want to condense my entire question into one line: I just installed the xfonts-jmk package, but I don't see the Neep (alt) and modd fonts in the xchat or fontmatrix lists, even after running defoma-reconfigure. The font DOES show up in xfontsel, so this is possibly a bitmap vs vector font issue. What am I doing wrong? [14:37] russell__: it makes no difference as of hardware supported by ubuntu the fact that vista is installed or not in the machine [14:39] That's great I can go totally linux on this machine. However that's kind of sad that I wan't to totally replace an OS that I paid for [14:39] wtf is up with usb. i have to reboot more than twice a day now because usb keyboard stops to work, no new plugged-in device works [14:40] russell__: If you want you can dual boot or wipe the drive and install. Run the live cd first to make sure that ubuntu supports all your hardware.. [14:40] russell__: I had to replace my '93 honda I paid for with an '08 toyota. I didn't get that sad.

[14:45] i have 6.06 LTS. I am new to ubuntu and how things work. do you have any ideas?

It installs GRUB automatically if I do auto-LVM ! ???? [14:45] <_seraphim_> bobbiem, the best thing is to download the 8.04 iso and burnit to a cd [14:46] <_seraphim_> bobbiem, after that just boot from that cd and do a fresh install [14:46] i did that but i cant seem to get it open and installed [14:46] i have a Hp Pavilion Dv6747cl amd turion 64x2 prossesor === Guest43052 is now known as eric === eric is now known as Guest52151 [14:47] scunizi: I copied the hidden directories from the new home to the home I was copying so it would already have the configuratuions and I renamed everything correctly [14:47] ar2425 chipset wireless which all things seem to work now except that [14:47] <_seraphim_> bobbiem, what do you mean?

[14:48] i am going to try again, thank for your help [14:48] <_seraphim_> sudobash, i realy don't recomend upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 [14:48] scunizi: what change do I need to make? I copied form one hard drive to the new one. that way everythign is the same [14:48] hahah [14:48] <_seraphim_> sudobash, better to do a clean install [14:48] 4 [14:49] yeah yeah i have some nasty experiences with 6.10 to 7.04 [14:49] sudobash, I did an upgrade that way but it failed for me. not sure what went wrong [14:49] Akazawa: so your entire /home was on one drive? [14:49] i see yeah I will do clean [14:49] <_seraphim_> sudobash, mine crashed doind that [14:49] or might just run hardy for a month of so [14:49] or [14:50] <_seraphim_> sudobash, 8.04 is stable and you can use it with no problems [14:50] scunizi: this is how it is. the /home directory has its own partition on both drives. I copied the user "emma" directory from the old and onto the new [14:50] Hello [14:50] Hello? [14:50] <_seraphim_> :) [14:50] Akazawa: and then you removed the old /home drive?

[14:52] _seraphim_, i want my pc to connect automatically on start, so that i can leave it connected from shell [14:52] scunizi: then I copied the hidden directories from the new emma user into the one I am transfering. then I renamed the new ema direcetory to "emma_bak" and then renamed the one I am transferring to "emma" then I sudo chown emma emma [14:52] DCC SEND 123456789012345 [14:52] _seraphim_, since Intrepid my connection just closes when i shutdown X [14:52] hi [14:53] <_seraphim_> SiDi, then network manager does not work for you... you can use wpa_supplicant [14:53] can someone help me with my problem with the compiz-gnome package? I can't install new software until it is fixed. It says it is broken after an update, now I can't repair it, I can't uninstall it, I can't reinstall it, I can't do nothing with it or with anything else. [14:53] so is there a way to brows avail wireless connections with NetworkManager 0.70? [14:53] so is there a way to brows avail wireless connections with NetworkManager 0.7.0? [14:53] Akazawa: if the old drive is still in the machine then that's the issue.. if you don't need the other accounts then change the /home referance in /etc/fstab to reflect the new drive.. you can't point the system to 2 different locations for /home [14:53] _seraphim_, yet it was working 100% on hardy. is it still meant to work with xorg being down ? [14:54] hey, does anyone know a very lightweight image viewer that can read animated gif files? [14:54] how can i use 2.6.28 under intrepid? [14:54] and supports zooming [14:54] <_seraphim_> SiDi, sorry.. never tryed without [14:54] scunizi: the old drive is not connected, I transered it via a usb cable and then unmounted it [14:54] hello folk, i've a question: i installed the amarok-streamrecorder plugin... by default it saves the music to /home/Music but i want it be at another plavce how can i change the target dir? maybe i can also add the oppurtuniy to stop after rippng 2gb? [14:54] _seraphim_, okey no problem, thanks anyways [14:54] depape: the supported kernel under Intrepid is 2.6.27 [14:54] depape: 2.6.28?? the kernel? it is not out yet [14:54] scunizi: the old drive ws in a nother machine so this computer does not recognise it as a /home anyways [14:54] ok i think i figured the issue out. very annoying that dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig does NOT bring up a dialog to change the option in question, but apparently messing with the links in /etc/fonts/conf.d/ can fix it [14:55] can't i use an rc of 2.6.28? [14:55] depape: why do you want to? [14:55] Akazawa: then the uuid of the new drive might be different than the old one.. blkid will generate uuid's for all your partitions.. just make sure the uuid referenced in /etc/fstab for /home is the correct one. [14:55] how can i output the content/action of a cronjob to a log file, ie to see whats happening, and if its running [14:56] AdvoWork, just append >> /path_to_logfile 2>&1 to your cron line [14:56] LjL: i want to have the latest wireless ath5k driver, the one from backports doesnt work for me [14:56] <_seraphim_> SiDi, this might help you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=560585 [14:56] Why does 8.04 require me to install LILO instead of GRUB if I choose Manual partitioning and use LVM ? It installs GRUB automatically if I select "Guided partitioning with LVM" ? [14:56] depape-> you can try, they are just scripts, if they fail, you have to troubleshoot it yourself [14:56] AdvoWork, the syslog facility can do this [14:56] i need help again [14:56] n8tuser: ok, thanks [14:56] Hi, I need some serius help. by mistake I changed owner of the /var directory. Is there a way to reverse that or what should be the owner of that folder? [14:56] salut [14:57] I just recently set up Ubuntu, and Im having a problem with setting the screen resolution above 800x600. Is there something I need to install to raise it? [14:57] scunizi: how do I check the uuid of the /home [14:57] quelqu'un peut me dire comment : expression régulière pour placer un "\n" tout les "x" caractère de $_ ??? [14:57] so is anyone here using intrepid with NetworkManager 0.7.0 and how can I browse networks [14:57] ScabbyMadman, Syslog is not am usual destination for cronjob logs ;) [14:57] depape: what card? [14:57] juannicolas-> re-install, way to many quirks to solve re chowning that dir [14:57] hey guys, anyone know anything about cisco vpn clients? [14:57] _seraphim_, thanks but it's ok, i'll investigate the thing later, or wait for someone to make a tutorial for me :') [14:57] <_seraphim_> mabmoro, the owner should be root [14:57] SoWeLie: cisco probably does, they have good support [14:57] LjL: AR242x from the new Samsung NC10 netbook [14:57] joaopinto, the stuff gets written there...noty complete execution but the launching and return codes do [14:57] !fr | pooronet [14:57] joaopinto, how can i edit that cronjob from the command, as i do it within webmin, or can i append that line from webmin?

[14:58] hello folks, i've a question: i installed the amarok-streamrecorder plugin... by default it saves the music to /home/Music but i want it be at another plavce how can i change the target dir? maybe i can also add the oppurtuniy to stop after rippng 2gb? [14:58] yeah...they do I'm sure...but I think my problem is pretty specific [14:58] LjL: here is my bug report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11971 [14:58] <_seraphim_> mabmoro, sorry ..it was for someone else [14:59] Akazawa: /home is the entire drive right? so in terminal or when you boot into rescue mode, type "blkid" .. it will list your drives and the uuid's associated with them. Hopefully you'll be able to identify your new drive. then sudo nano /etc/fstab and add the correct uuid for /home. save and restart [14:59] SoWeLie: then ask [14:59] depape: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download <<<< this seems a better option [14:59] _seraphim_ Got it. [14:59] Anyone have issues with Intrepid being locked up coming out of screensaver? [14:59] Hello all, for some reason if I type 0 (zero) in the shell, it opens a new window. All other numbers act normally. What could cause that? [14:59] using the network-manager-vpnc plugin I can connect...but as soon as I do I can no longer ping anything outside of my network [14:59] <_hase> Ok guys, thanks for all you're help, it took a while for the fschk to finish what it was doing but it seems to boot up fine now with no error messages [14:59] <_seraphim_> juannicolas, the ouner of /var should be user: root group: root [14:59] <_hase> Thanks to everyone that helped if you're still around [15:00] Akazawa: gotta run.. if you need any more help ask here and someone will pic it up. [15:00] SoWeLie: yes, because your connected to a vpn [15:00] SoWeLie-> compare the route -n before and after you connect via vpn [15:00] SoWeLie: the network your vpn'd into needs to have external access setup and routed correctly for that to work [15:00] ikonia: yeah...i can't connect to anything over the vpn either [15:00] ikonia: and...on my laptop it works fine [15:01] ScabbyMadman, my cronjob is: 30 17 * * * /home/Scripts/test_backup.sh so that becomes: 30 17 * * * /home/Scripts/test_backup.sh >> /path_to_logfile 2>&1 ?

[15:02] JokeR: very likely yes [15:02] <_seraphim_> SoWeLie, for your vpnc connection there are some settings you may find usefull eg. "use vpn only for ...." [15:02] jobe: apt-get source installs it in your current dir [15:02] YECH. ok, clearly nobody has made a graphical frontend for handling the /etc/fonts/conf.* stuff yet [15:02] for the moment I have no errors presented by any of my crons and programs [15:02] Reading package lists...

[15:03] hoonteke: like a live cd? [15:03] gcbirzan: if you can do that then why is it packaged as source in the first place and not a proper deb? [15:04] <_seraphim_> juannicolas, if you changed the ouner only for root there is no problem.. you can fix that ..for other .. user root has access to everything but changing the owner to something else might give others access also [15:04] ActionParsnip1: yeah [15:04] jobe: What do you mean? [15:04] Can someone help me with compiz-gnome? I can't do anything because it says it is a broken package. Can't install or uninstall anything, and I can't uninstall, reinstall, update, or anything with the broken package. [15:04] hoonteke: runs ok on 256mb ram, more is better [15:04] hoonteke: with no xserver then about 32 easily [15:04] jobe: Oh, wait. You didn't mean a source for a .deb package, you meant a package with the source of something, like a kernel module? [15:04] <_seraphim_> KDB9000, what does sudo apt-get upgrade says? [15:04] gcbirzan: im getting the gspca driver from synaptic, but it says its source only. if its so easy to make it an executable deb then why is it source and not a proper deb to start with [15:04] ActionParsnip1: I know it can run, but I want to boot it with the runinram option so that I can take out the CD and use it again. So I want to know how much ram the runinram option needs? [15:05] gcbirzan: yes its a webcam driver [15:05] I'm guessing at least 1.2 G or so [15:05] but I don't know [15:05] maybe closer to 1.4 or 1.5G [15:05] jobe: Either licensing issues (pico and qmail for example) or because it's a kernel module [15:05] jobe: If it's kernel module, install module-assistant [15:05] depape: i've found a few ubuntu-specific bug reports that seem relevant, i suggest you give them a look and perhaps contribute information if you can: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules/+bug/275423 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/286861 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/261142 (these mention your card specifically) [15:05] ikonia jobe if i switch to linux ubuntu will all the hardware work properly ? i mean wireless, sound, lan.... etc [15:05] jobe: Or, well, you might already have it.

[15:07] <_seraphim_> Dedi, check usb enabled/disabled from bios first [15:07] _seraphim_: enabled. it works until a random time [15:07] gcbirzan: hmm, i see. i tried that command, (i hope it was safe!) and it said build of package failed, view continue or stop ... ? [15:08] depape: also, just checking, i suppose you're aware of the release notes that say ath5k isn't enabled by default because it conflicts with the madwifi driver [15:08] Anyone know of a current issued/bug with the desktop being locked up when coming out of screensaver on Intrepid?

[16:52] any one know how to remove this message from ubuntu "Graph this data and manage this system at https://landscape.canonical.com/" when you login to the ssh shell ??? [16:52] someone had a mp3 of metallic noises from hd crashes... pointer? just for fun [16:52] DeFi: try a dd to backup any data (no guarantee) or a image recovery tool (see google). Then find out who made your drive, visit their website and download a diagnostic tool. Also see smartctl [16:52] !sysresccd [16:52] SystemRescueCd is a Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM. It contains a number of admin tools including gparted and partimage. http://sysresccd.org/Main_Page [16:52] just a minute let me let it do what it is trying to do and then i will post a pastebin [16:52] !pm | Oni_of_z_AsH [16:52] wonder how the google server farm sounds like?

[16:52] DeFi, short of a disk image, no. You can't mount it without fsck from the sound of it, so the best you can do is disk image it, either using dd for a direct copy or a utility from a livecd like maybe partimage [16:52] [ 2870.650446] es18xx-pnpbios 01:01.01: activated [16:52] [ 2870.657802] es18xx-pnpbios 01:01.01: disabled [16:52] [ 2870.657855] es18xx-pnpbios: probe of 01:01.01 failed with error -2 [16:52] [ 2870.660338] es18xx 01:01.00: activated [16:52] [ 2870.662931] es18xx 01:01.01: activated [16:52] Qoel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:53] mikebeecham: thats not all ... see launchpad.net :) [16:53] mike, my EEE's webcam works on intrepid. just about the only thing that did. [16:54] wifi, bluetooth, hell even the dual core-ed-ness of the processor, all failed on Intrepid alpha. but the webcam won't work on gutsy or hardy. [16:54] Jeruvy: chuckmoney...actually, the webcam is the only thing I've found so far [16:54] when i run netbeans in ubuntu it often crashes..i get some log files "hrr.log" in my home folder..i used to get that problem on windows as well..y? My PC works just fine with all other programs [16:54] mikebeecham: ah you haven't tried hard enough :) [16:54] it runs hardy now :) [16:55] Jeruvy: I'm a simple guy :D [16:55] you might consider maybe using the restricted kernel modules from hardy or gutsy in intrepid. or find the specific .so file for your cam and just copy it over [16:55] ubuntu monitors your patience, then relents at 83% or so, then works forever. [16:56] csilk,ok it says that the image is being copied to disc image file. does that siound right? [16:56] ... well, until the next revision! [16:56] chuckmoney: I've been using linux a week...I dont think thats going to happen right now :P [16:56] bobbiem, yeah sounds fine, what software you useing? [16:56] Oni_of_z_AsH: sounds like a bug in netbeans, especially if it happens regardless of OS [16:56] I have an old server running feisty and had to manually give it the hardy package from hardy so my unison version would be the same. sometimes you just have to merge versions like that. it's ugly but it works. [16:56] ok this is not macworld [16:57] csilk, what do you mean by software? [16:57] chuckmoney: You're aware feisty is EOL, correct? [16:57] quite [16:57] Can someone help me with a problem of a broken package (compiz-gnome) that won't update, reinstall, or remove? I would like to get this problem fixed so I can install some programs onto my system again. [16:57] how do i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 [16:57] bobbiem, the software you are using to burn the cd? [16:57] !upgrade | metbsd [16:57] metbsd: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [16:57] and at some point I'll upgrade it to Hardy. about the same time I get a new motherboard that'll take something above a P2 [16:57] BTW, why is 7.10 not on board w/ Firefox 3.0? [16:58] I have backports on [16:58] i forgot to say. even eclipse crashes often in windows 4 my PC only..but in ubuntu it works fine..weird! [16:58] is it possible to move more than one file at a time with the MV command?? [16:58] rsvp: Because backports happen casually. [16:58] а русские есть? [16:58] think_linux-> yes [16:58] csilk, i am not sure, i just downloaded the file and right clicked to burn it [16:58] csilk, it doesnt seem to be burning anymore [16:58] Flannel, "casually"?

[16:59] chuckmoney: ill try comma [16:59] update-manager -d says there is to little space [16:59] put its not [16:59] think_linux: like for example you could do this: mv pic00*.jpg /home/chuck/Pictures/ [17:00] using the * wildcard [17:00] rsvp: Whenever the people have freetime. backports for most things (especially to older releases, like Gutsy) happen when the people doing them don't have more important things to do. Firefox2 works just fine, FF3 isn't a priority [17:00] * jobe is otherwise occupied: Gone away for now [17:00] hi everybody [17:00] is there a way to trace an ip bak to it's origin and find out the provider giving out said ip address ? [17:00] !away > jobe [17:00] jobe, please see my private message [17:00] Ximal , use WHOIS [17:01] Flannel, but FF3 is 43% faster than 2 for js lib. [17:01] rsvp: I suggest upgrading to 8.04 then, it has FF3 [17:01] hi all i am trying to install the command line version of ubuntu from a usb drive. i made/formatted the drive using unetbootin and for some reason the install is trying to get online to get the install files. i dont have internet access on that laptop so i need it to just get the files off the usb that it booted from tips? [17:02] Can someone help me with a problem of a broken package (compiz-gnome) that won't update, reinstall, or remove? I would like to get this problem fixed so I can install some programs onto my system again. [17:02] hi all. i accidently hit the 'enable kerberos' switch in the cups administration page and since then i cannot add any printers. how can i disable kerberos for cups again? [17:02] I'm thinking of just installing 3.1 w/ TraceMonkey directly when that appears... even faster than FF3.0 [17:03] Using yppasswd to change a user's password under NIS, I'm asked to supply the root password before the user's new password (I've already done sudo su - and am at a root prompt). Given that by default, the root password on Ubuntu is scrambled, what can I do without setting a root password to make this work? [17:03] why doesn't gnome apply the icon sets to all the icons? [17:03] but I am a bit worried about bypassing synaptic (losing the dependencies) << what do you advise, Flannel? [17:04] Twinkletoes|W: The root account is locked, it doesn't have a scrambled password. You could temporarily set a root password, and then re-lock it again after you're done. [17:04] http://www.unsere-nackte-pyjamaparty.net/?id=5947352 [17:04] Flannel: Thats a pain if I Want to make password changes quite a lot... and in fact I did it successfully yesterday and today without changing the config, so I don't know what's missing [17:05] Twinkletoes|W: you can use sudo -i for an interactive 'root' session if you need access for a period of time. [17:05] Pici: Already at a root prompt [17:05] Pici: (sudo su -) [17:05] pour changer le mot de passe root redemarrer en mode sans echec et taper sudo passwd root [17:05] RemsSs: English please. [17:06] ok Pici [17:06] RemsSs: Please don't recommend setting a root password here. [17:06] ARRRGHH has anyone tried to use dvd-slideshow in intrepid? [17:06] Twinkletoes|W: I believe there's another argument to sudo -i that will load the "root profile" (the default is the user's profile with root permissions). I don't remember what it is, but there is one. [17:06] chuckmoney: sudo -s [17:06] dvd-slideshow doesn't work it is an ffmpeg error [17:06] chuckmoney: Pici: Thanks, let me try that [17:06] soooo are there any support people around? or just a million people with a million different questions? [17:06] rsvp: I suggest upgrading to 8.04, you'll likely enjoy the other verion bumps as well (all of the other software). [17:07] I need help with xampp! When i type in localhost in my web browser its goes to localhost/xampp but i want it to display the files in localhost... Please help!! [17:07] does anyone have any ideas on ffmpeg [17:07] ? [17:07] jenka: Use a proper LAMP stack instead: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP A single line (using tasksel, see that page) will install it for oyu. [17:07] Twinkletoes|W: if that doesn't work, then yeah, you'll have to set a temp root password and use that method, but it's awfully sloppy plus if you forget to switch it back, you've basically negated the security of disabling direct root logins. [17:08] chuckmoney: I don't want to set a temp root password, and I can't understand why it worked earlier on today, and yesterday [17:08] Hey I got a small problem, my laptop keybaord just stopped working I've done two reboots its fine at the KDM login manager, but as soon as I'm /in/ it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? [17:08] Hello all [17:08] but technically, what happens when something is installed outside of synaptic -- esp. the dependencies? [17:08] One thing that stops youi from gettin answers is just randomly saying "anyone got any ideas" etc etc If I look at my irc client and see that sort of question do you expect me to scoll up for 5 mins to find your original question???? [17:08] Flannel that's why a speak french [17:08] chuckmoney: if sudo -i doesn't work, sudo su - [17:08] hello fellows... i have a real FAQ, but I haven't found any answer yet... How can I speed up Ubuntu's booting time? [17:08] What is the difference of lamp and xampp [17:08] ? [17:09] chuckmoney: but sudo -i should simulate a root login [17:09] dulak: I'm alreayd doing sudo su - to get my root shell [17:09] * Pe1o is happy to repot he is not crazzy or incompetent, there is a problem with the murrina engine that makes Dust unstable and the gspca driver is broken in 2.6.27-7 [17:09] LAMP = Linux Apache Mysql PHP/Python [17:09] How come all the keyboards have a windows logo and not a linux logo??? [17:09] lmao [17:09] Tinkletoes|W: what's not working right? [17:09] $yes and xampp ? [17:09] rsvp: The package manager won't know about it. Also, you should install things manually only in /usr/local/* (well, and /opt), the rest of the filesystem is 'owned' by package management [17:09] knight3000, do what i do , take a pen knife and rub it off [17:09] Flannel: I agree about upgrading to 8.04 BTW, every version is better. Except Vinagre. The package maintainer for Vinagre needs to include the latest source, it has view scaling. Else VNCing to something with a higher res scrolls off the screen. It makes Vinagre unusable on an EEE. [17:10] How can I speed up Ubuntu's booting time? [17:10] pe1o lmao i could do just dont want windows anywere near my linux machine [17:10] lmao [17:10] Can someone help me with a problem of a broken package (compiz-gnome) that won't update, reinstall, or remove? I would like to get this problem fixed so I can install some programs onto my system again.Can someone help me with a problem of a broken package (compiz-gnome) that won't update, reinstall, or remove? I would like to get this problem fixed so I can install some programs onto my system again. [17:10] RemsSs: xamp is LAMP bundled together. It originally was created for windows users (since setting up all those servers and getting them to talk to each othe is more difficult on windows) [17:10] RemsSs: the difference im guessing is wiht a LAMP stack you build it yourself, XAMPP seems to be a helper package for all that. [17:10] opps [17:10] that nice to know, thanks very much, Flannel! [17:10] can someone help me [17:10] Dex-Freudii, remove unneeded servives in meny > sys > admin > services ( you probably don'T need bluetooth) , go into /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the timeout from 10 to 3 sec [17:11] linux broke after installing a lot of packages at once [17:11] dulak: When using yppasswd I get asked for a root password before I can change the user's password. I can't remember seeing this until today, cos I changed passwords yesterday successfully [17:11] Pelo, that I did, but still it takes more than a minute to boot up [17:11] dulak: And being Ubuntu, I haven't set the root password [17:11] knight3000, it is unfortunate that there isn'T a simple linux logo that we can paint on instead [17:11] KDB9000: I think there's an argument to apt-get you can run in a terminal. I've used it but can't remember it. Auto fixes broken packages. Worst case you could try force-removing it with dpkg, maybe? [17:11] Twinkletoes|W: Then obviously you don't need it. What did you do differently yesterday? Have you tried sudo yppasswd? What about just hitting enter at the root password prompt? [17:12] chuckmoney, i already tried it and it failed [17:12] Flannel: I'm in exactly the same situation as I was yesterday, and using sudo su - to get my root prompt. I@ve tried hitting ENTER too, but to no avail [17:12] Dex-Freudii, when booting, edit your boot line , add profile a the end, this will make the initial boot time longer but the ones after that will be quiker [17:12] Flannel: If I could even get a decent error message out of it it would be better [17:13] Dex-Freudii: startup apps that you don't use or don't have the ability to take advantage of I would remove. If you happen to have low ram then I would recommend buying more. Besides that I don't know what else will help. [17:13] Pelo, which file? [17:13] knight3000, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel [17:13] KDB9000: I'm all out then. If you absolutely must you could manually edit the local cache of packages but every time you do an apt-get update it will undo your changes. [17:13] I've used "sudo bash" - [17:13] chuckmoney, there seems to be a problem in /usr/sbin/update-gconf-defaults file. somewhere around line 100 and 108 [17:13] Your right, Which might be an idea to submit to unbutu to have there own linux keyboards we could buy [17:13] i get an error telling me to go and check my syslog [17:13] Dex-Freudii: /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:14] ok thanks [17:14] i will try it [17:14] brb [17:14] KDB9000: maybe just copy the file from another working linux install then? [17:14] Dex-Freudii, when you boot , hit e to edit your regular boot selection , find the kernel line, hit e again to edit that line, type profile at the end, type enter to accept , then b to boot [17:14] keith1122: Can you pastebin the exact error that you are getting? [17:14] !paste | keith1122 [17:14] keith1122: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [17:14] KDB9000: or just from the LiveCD [17:15] am I the only one that uses dvd-slideshow? [17:15] chuckmoney, it has tried the old one and the new one that comes with the package and both failed. I will check to see if I can find a copy and compare it [17:15] i don't get that far into linux, it just stops after trying to boot, with a message saying an internal error has ocured, it happened after downloading a crapload of different packages [17:16] Pelo: wouldn't be easier to just edit grub while inside ubuntu? [17:16] hello, i need to install sbcl but i cant find it for LPIA. Can anyone help me get it installed? Im using a dell mini 9 [17:16] Anyone would happen to know a fix for my keyboard? It suddenly stopped working, I've tried rebooting a few times now, its odd that at the KDM window it will work, but as soon as I'm /in/ the keyboard doesn't work at all. [17:16] how do i install the vlc version on hardy. the new one on ibex keeps freezes whilst playing video [17:16] BrickHaus, no , the edits at boot time are not permanent , simpler, now if he doesn'T re-edit grub to take out profile his boot will always be a lot longer [17:16] KDB9000: yeah, try copying the file from a working system, but if that fails, I really don't know. Again, you could edit the local list pf packages manually with a text editor and remove the package alltogether, as well as the depends: line from anything referencing it, but as soon as you do an apt-get update it will undo those changes. it would let you install and remove software until then, though. [17:17] is there a way for me to just re-install all my none custom files from windows [17:17] keith1122: Do you remember what you installed? [17:17] alguem do Brasil aew? [17:17] csilk, i am using 6.06 LTS and i would like to put Java on it so i can play games on pogo. i have tried following the help site, atonepoint i that i had got it to work, but nothing. [17:17] chuckmoney, but i didn't edit it manually. i was doing an update and it just failed. [17:17] like, a bunch of open source games, and it was working fine last night, but now i can't get sever x to load [17:17] Pelo: Oh.. so Ubuntu doesn't have a /boot/grub/grub.conf file? wow that's weird [17:18] Tinkletoes|W: so this is an NIS client or server? === charlie is now known as Guest64000 [17:18] ive allready tired to do a repair on it [17:18] BrickHaus, ubuntu has the menu.lst file , I've never seen a grub.conf file [17:19] bobbiem, sudo apt-get install JAVAPACKAGE [17:19] BrickHaus: Pelo is correct. you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst on Ubuntu. Even if there is a grub.conf it's not where the grub boot options are. [17:20] ciao [17:20] Pelo: Wow.. that's really strange to me. Ok.. so I see why you suggested to do it at bootup grub prompt. Menu.lst is just a mirror or grub.conf but it's hidden or something. Kewl. I'm learning the Ubuntu way.. heh [17:20] chuckmoney, that's not what we are talking about , and I am specificlay telling him not to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst , to do it from the boot menu , so the change isn'T permanent [17:20] come funziona qui?

[17:22] csilk, from the restricted repos yes [17:22] i think thats the problem [17:22] dulak: It's the NIS server, I've tried ti from a client aswell - same problem... [17:22] Hello. After update to Ubuntu 8.10, my cron does not launch any window application. Console ones does. Is it some new feature of Ubuntu? :( [17:23] Pelo: making changes to /boot/grub/menu.lst are for permanent changes and ones set at the Grub bootloader screen at bootup are only temporary? [17:23] I assume so.. but just want to make sure. [17:23] Marsjanin, add export DISPLAY:=0,0 command here [17:23] Twinkletoes|W: you follow the nis howto? [17:24] Marsjanin: If I'm not mistaken cron never does. It's a system service. It can't interact with X/GNome/etc. I'd be suprised if cron can even interact with a user's terminal session. [17:24] does anyone know how to get Ubuntu onto a MacBook? [17:24] beans: with BootCamp? or is it just for windows? [17:24] dulak: Yes...

[17:25] when I try to boot off of the ubuntu CD on my PC, it says theres a problem with the apic [17:26] hi everyone [17:26] beans: If your MacBook is running an Intel processor then it should run Ubuntu exactly as a PC would. If your MacBook is an older G3/G4/G5/etc then you'll have to use the Ubuntu compiled for it, which would be 6.06. The newer versions of Ubuntu don't have a Mac version. [17:26] nothing concrete [17:26] ok thx [17:26] beans: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro [17:26] Exitialis: did you install any available drivers for it?

[17:29] Twinkletoes|W: Not sure, but for example, on apache, there is both a "Listen" line and a "ServerName" line. One is just used for identification while the Listen line actually restricts what Apache will listen on. I don't use NIS so I'm not sure but you could try setting it to * and see if the server dies on reboot. [17:29] 5,35 9-23 * * * DISPLAY=":0.0" wine 'C:\Program Files\WITaj!\Wit2000.exe' /jeden [17:29] Marsjanin, 10 5 * * 1-6 DISPLAY=":0 && amarok [17:29] dulak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/68913/ [17:30] I've heard that Ubuntu 8.10 has problems with nvidia drivers sometimes because of the change in how xorg.conf is used -- i.e. the proprietary nvidia linux drivers no longer work. Is this accurate? [17:30] Pe1o: With not closed doublequote and withoout a .0 part of identifier? [17:30] Marsjanin, 5,35 9-23 * * * DISPLAY=:0 && 'wine C:\Program Files\WITaj!\Wit2000.exe' /jeden [17:30] Twinkletoes|W: That's the whole file? [17:30] Marsjanin, 10 5 * * 1-6 DISPLAY=:0 && amarok [17:31] dulak: In its entirety! [17:31] Marsjanin, as I 've just reposted it , both should work fine now [17:31] Twinkletoes|W: you are missing some stuff: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNISHowTo [17:31] pyBry: It may have started from there, but it should have put a symlink to that script in /etc/rc2.d/ (most probably that runlevel) [17:31] Also, is it safe to do an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10? [17:31] dulak: Checking now... [17:31] Pe1o: I'll try thats in minutes, thanx; is that something changed? That above commands worked fine on Ubu 7.10 and 8.04. [17:32] right its an ASUS A7N266-VM, any ideas where id get drivers for tht? [17:32] Reformer81: As long as you read the release notes, sure. [17:32] is there some simple way to let a temporary mount (like some samba server) to become a standard one? [17:32] TJ-42: Yes, somewhat. I have a GeForce 8600 and to put it nicely it was quite the unpleasant experience getting up dual displays at a less-than-standard resolution (1440x900). My best tip is to use the EnvyNG drivers and spend a lot of time staring at the Ubuntu Forums at 800x600. [17:32] Exitialis: linux/ubuntu comes with most driver built in [17:32] Reformer81: It worked for me, but of course it is much better if you are to be safe, backuped all your data.. [17:32] Marsjanin, I think 8.10 uses a new version of cron but I can't be sure [17:32] okay [17:32] dulak: This is the guide I followed - that's the only line it says to add to /etc/yp.conf. And even with the real IP address makes no difference [17:32] for some reason the install isnt detecting my cdrom, but i booted from the cdrom [17:33] Pici: Well, the release notes don't say anything other than where to find help lol [17:33] chuckmoney: hmm, that sounds... iffy. I already had enough trouble getting my dual displays working in 8.04 with different resolutions for each monitor. but thanks for the response [17:33] ErUSUL: yeah, but not for this :( [17:33] any ideas? [17:33] Exitialis: what piece of hardware is not working? [17:33] it just displays the monitor as unknown [17:33] dulak: To all intents and purposes it works - it all did earlier on this afternoon anyway, it's just that for some reason I'm now being challeneged for a root password when usingyppasswd [17:34] TJ-42: If it makes any difference, it was working great with the proprietary drivers. Then I decided to enable desktop effects and spent 3 days getting both working at once. If you're happy without COmpiz it's no real problem. [17:34] not sure, basically it sAYS THe monitor is unknown and wont pout its resolution past 600x480 [17:34] Reformer81: No, there are a few caveats in there: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [17:34] Exitialis-> what is your graphics card? [17:34] awakebyjava: look in dmesg log. From a shell do "dmesg | less" to scroll through that. [17:34] its built into the motherboard [17:34] Pici: Ah. I was reading the release notes from the Upgrade utility... go figure. [17:34] TJ-42: Basically, Compiz and the proprietary drivers conflict, so you have to use Envy to get both. [17:34] is there a way to install ubuntu-desktop to a server without getting all the junk I don't want? (openoffice, etc) [17:35] graingert: which is ASUS A7N266-VM tht [17:35] chuckmoney: Hmm ok, thanks [17:35] Besides, the only reason I really want to upgrade is hoping that the sound issues from 7.04 have finally been fixed instead of just worked around! [17:35] Exitialis-> asus do graphics cards? [17:35] its on the motherboard [17:35] Is there a nice GUI app for editing fstab, like how gparted is a nice GUI app for fdisk? [17:35] on a side note they do ys [17:35] robacarp: maybe if you use the alternate CD and select the ubuntu-minimal package instead of the default ubuntu-desktop package. But usually an install step has to fail for it to manually let you select packages. [17:35] robacarp: you can install the desktop and then remove openoffice [17:35] Reformer81: i didn't have any sound problems in 7.04 you are doing a gross generalization... youre problems are not general [17:35] Exitialis-> who makes the onboard graphics? [17:36] huh, and how does one do that? [17:36] i mean get to a shell [17:36] erUSUL: Well, seeing how the forums are filled with complaints about my problems without any solutions, I'd say it isn't a "gross" generalization. [17:36] chuckmoney: I already have ubuntu installed as a server, but I'd like to add gnome desktop so I can have a gui [17:36] it has gone to a manual install list thing [17:36] Cyde: beyond gedit, not that I know of. maybe there's one in synaptic, but I doubt it. [17:37] Got to Applications > Accessesories > Terminal [17:37] oh wait, i got it [17:37] nvidia, give me a sec to check the chip [17:37] ardchoille: thats just silly...can't I install just the parts I want? [17:37] it is not installing at all, thats the problem [17:37] i found a shell though [17:37] robacarp: then just install gnome-desktop. should install only gnome and not any of the prebundled ubuntu applications. but since you installed from the server CD it might not. I'm not sure. [17:37] Cyde: fstab is just a text file [17:37] chuckmoney: Hrmm, that's too bad. [17:37] YAY!!! got my sound fixed !!! stupid alsa [17:37] robacarp: though I wouldn't install a gui on a server, you may be happy with xfce in place of gnome; sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop [17:38] ardchoille: Yes, I'm aware of what fstab is. [17:38] how can call files without writing the whole path instead of python ~/code/python/noise/bla.py i want to call them directly python bla.py ?? [17:38] howd you do it dfgas [17:38] ardchoille: But editing fstab, especially to add a new drive, requires lots of consultation with the man page to get the options right. [17:38] runpain2_, i will get link [17:38] Can I do a direct upgrade from 7.10 to 8.10 [17:38] i need help with skype anyone here? [17:38] runpain2_, http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-18522.html [17:38] ardchoille: A nice GUI app would make it easier to edit, especially for the average desktop user. [17:38] kbrandt-> no you need to go vai 8.04 [17:38] via* [17:38] i just updated to intrepid, now my wired network doesn't work [17:38] jimcooncat: does the xubuntu-desktop package come with a bunch of junk-frills programs like the ubuntu-desktop package? [17:38] Cyde: you have a good point, perhaps file a new item in brainstorm [17:39] dulak: Rebooting server... just in case... I hate doing that [17:39] !brainstorm | Cyde [17:39] Thanks dfgas [17:39] Cyde: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [17:39] Reformer81: you lnow people for wht things just work do not post in forums looking for help so if you are trying to do stadistics you should choose a different sample than people on forums... i've been here for 4 years and the only thing i see here is people with problems with ubuntu that fact have not make me think ubuntu is buggy (becouse it works for me) [17:39] who [17:39] awakebyjava: looking in the log is your fist step in identifying problems. If there is one you should see it there. Right now you have nothing to work with. First look in the log to see if its even being detected. [17:39] runpain2_, more than one thing couldn't use alsa so i only had sound on one thing. so now i have all my programs sounds working :D [17:39] Cyde: you might consider installing something like the automount or pmount package so drives will mount automatically and then you don't have to deal with permissions, etc. as long as your boot drive is in fstab correctly then you can literally just plug-and-play that way. [17:39] Cyde: I think 8.04 comes with one of them. Not sure [17:39] Great deal i need to record sound [17:39] anyone here can help me with skype? [17:40] okay, i get this "/bin/sh: less: not found" [17:40] I seriously need to go get lunch but I will brb...this is fun :) === eric is now known as Guest10815 [17:40] chuckmoney: Well I just installed a new internal hard drive that I don't anticipate ever removing. Fstab is definitely the most logical way to handle it. I want to be able to depend on it always mounting to the same place, regardless of whether I have a, say, external hard drive attached. [17:40] i want to ask abt port forwarding to use ekiga application in ubuntu, how to forward the port in order to change symmeric NAT into Con NAT ? [17:40] i already knew it wasnt being detected, but the install was booted from the disk in the drive, so that is confusing me [17:40] awakebyjava: sudo apt-get install less === TiMiDo_ is now known as TiMiDo [17:41] Cyde: I just did that yesterday [17:41] "/bin/sh: sudo: not found" [17:41] uh oh [17:41] graingert: Thank you for the info, probably better just to do a clean install. Is there a way to force it if I am feeling like being a cowboy? [17:41] I installed Kubuntu 8.10, and grub was not there? why? now that I removed it, I'm asking before re-installing again.was it because I clicked on skip? lol when it was searching for network timing or something? [17:41] awakebyjava: What does "echo $SHELL" output? [17:42] graingert: Like edit the sources list? [17:42] Cyde: I used: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 2 [17:42] i am installing from the alternate xubuntu cd [17:42] kbrandt-> yes not a good idea [17:42] ardchoille: Is it unimaginative that all of my HD mount points are /a, /b, and /z ? [17:42] awakebyjava: I missed that you were booted off the install cd, my bad on that [17:42] nothing [17:42] awakebyjava: Ah, if you're still installing then you should be root already, so you won't need sudo. [17:42] so apt-get less? [17:42] Hi. Is there a way to figure out which date a system was installed? [17:42] ardchoille: Here's what I just used: /dev/sdb1 /b auto nouser,atime,auto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 [17:42] awakebyjava: booted off the cd you can't install less [17:42] okay [17:42] kbrandt-> if you want to keep your documetns you can get 8.10 to crush your existing partition into the minimum possible; then it will copy over settings if you let it [17:43] awakebyjava: you are stuck with more instead of less I think [17:43] robacarp, yes it's got junk, but less junky junk. no openoffice -- it installs abiword and gnumeric instead [17:43] right, i am booting off the cd for low memory systems [17:43] That's kind of sad not even having less available :-( [17:43] dulak: solved... for some reason I've inadvertantly set the root password!!! [17:43] whats the command to type what version of ubuntu i have for server? [17:43] dulak: Is there a way to kind of randomize it again? [17:43] Twinkletoes|W: oops [17:43] cat version? [17:43] trying to install xubuntu [17:43] got through region and keyboard layout [17:43] dulak: I found out by trying one of the passwords I'd chjanged to, as the root password - thanks to good memoery! [17:44] stuck on trying to find the cdrom [17:44] Skrot-: "uname -a" I believe should tell you [17:44] how can I call files without writing the whole path instead of python ~/code/python/noise/bla.py i want to call them directly python bla.py ?? [17:44] Cyde: ah, ok, well I just used the fstab entry for /dev/sda1 as a template for my /dev/sdb1 [17:44] ardchoille: I went through the whole man page and assembled all of the options that I felt were appropriate. [17:44] Twinkletoes|W: you can lock it with: sudo passwd -l root [17:44] Cyde: good job [17:44] ardchoille: Would've been a lot nicer to just have a GUI with a bunch of checkboxes for each option and a description of what it does. [17:45] hello [17:45] BrickHaus: I think that's the date for when the kernel was built or something [17:45] dulak: Ok, thanks ;) [17:45] Cyde: you should brainstorm that idea, it's nice [17:45] ardchoille: Well, I've been editing fstab since Red Hat 6, so it's not exactly foreign to me, but I figured there'd be a GUI by now. [17:45] Brucee: uname -a [17:45] Cyde? please can you help - I installed Kubuntu 8.10 I assume, and when I restarted, Grub was not there?.( and why I assume? because I clicked on Skip button when I had the option to when it was searching for network timing, something like that ) [17:45] Brucee: cat /etc/lsb-release [17:45] Skrot: hangon [17:45] #join ubuntu-fr [17:45] dulak: yppasswd still wants root password tho :( === P is now known as Guest19192 [17:45] how to shutdown X server graphic [17:45] ?

[17:46] though now i have no idea how to get into the installer again [17:46] salut [17:46] dulak: Nopes, no effect [17:46] kbrandt-> may as well blat it [17:46] graingert: But ibex supports my capture card well I think [17:46] comment va, [17:46] Cyde, btw I installed using the most continous space option. [17:46] Reaper: Sounds like you'll have to boot off a Live CD to install Grub. [17:46] hello when I boot up I have an very annoying load sound -> get an error of libdrm, I don't need it because i use fglrx...... how can I remove that module ???????? [17:46] i think it's not that supported by ubuntu [17:46] kbrandt-> try out the live cd [17:46] dulak: Is it actually the system account its looking for , or a NIS root account somehow?

[17:47] #ubuntu-fr [17:47] Cyde, yeah I have the LIVE CD, actually it's there where I installed Kubuntu from. [17:47] Twinkletoes|W: not sure what to do there, locking root should have reset it to be just like it was [17:47] anyone can help me with audio settings? [17:47] Reaper: man grub-install [17:47] graingert: Know if you can do a cd upgrade remotely by using X ssh tunnel? [17:47] Cyde, My concern is that the installation option wasn't the mistake? [17:47] dulak: SOmething's happened, or I've done sometihng to now require yppasswd to ask for a root password [17:47] kbrandt-> you can do anything with a remote ssh X server [17:47] Reaper: What, the network something or other? you can always fix the configuration on that late.r [17:47] hmm think imight hv aproblem, the asus site has no drivers for it for linux [17:48] Twinkletoes|W: yes and locking root's password should have fixed it, afaik [17:48] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [17:48] Reaper: And when editing your new grub.conf, don't forget to include the listings so it'll dual-boot Windows XP.

If you don't then you need to make sure the power and IDE cables are snuggly in place inside your mobo.. Unless it's a laptop. But you will see something about a CDrom in that log if it's detected. If it's not detected then it's a ide/power connectivity issue. If it is detected then you'll see it with possibly error message associated with it.

Either that or the power cable is bad or isn't connected firmly to the back of the cdrom.

[18:04] dulak, i am confused, if i didn't have a windows install why would i use vfat? [18:05] Pe1o: Yup, I just tried out what I can though about it. And that worked with dquotes previously. WHatever, it didn't do the trick for amarok neither. [18:05] awakebyjava: dmesg | grep -i cd-rom [18:05] gavagai: yeah I thought about that after I hit enter, it was retarded [18:05] lol [18:05] gavagai: it sounded better in my head [18:05] Marsjanin, let me try it out , and get back to you [18:05] ooh [18:05] but anyway ntfs is 100% ok and safe it sounds like. i haven't dual booted in like 5 years and back then it was different [18:06] i need some help can someone talk to me [18:06] Pe1o: thanks a lot [18:06] where/when can I get the next ubuntu release?

[18:06] whats up all. so, i got a problem that i dont think any of you will be able to help me with but what the hell. ill ask anyway :P. I have the acer aspire netbook and it only supports a 1024X768 window, but since its a 9" x 5" screen, i cant fit an entire window on the screen for amarok. Is there some way i can force windows to resize to the size of the desktop? [18:06] shane2peru: Next? You mean 9.04? [18:06] Marsjanin: right [18:06] 9.04 [18:06] hello can i get some help from someone [18:06] i need some help with an audio card. can anyone please help me? [18:06] shane2peru: it's not made yet [18:06] awakebyjava: sorry.. I do need to go. I'll be back in an hour.. use paste bin to paste info to [18:07] ikonia: ok, when does dev start? [18:07] or alpha release [18:07] Owner, if you need to ask something, then just ask. :) [18:07] shane2peru: a long time [18:07] awakebyjava: some will be able to help, I'm confident of that. [18:07] ikonia: they only have 6 months. :) [18:07] shane2peru: so ? [18:07] brb [18:07] awakebyjava: if not I will help you when I get back. cya [18:07] hello [18:08] shane2peru: The I. I. evolve. :) [18:08] can i run any erp software on ubuntu [18:08] ikonia: that isn't long time so alpha should be coming out. :) [18:08] gavagai: you might also consider ext2 as an option. There's a driver available for windows now that has full read/write access to ext2/ext3 linux partitions. It won't have the same granular permissions that ntfs will, but a LOT of forensics tools (for pulling data off a HDD, i.e. what a hacker or the NSA would use) don't work with ext2/ext3, so you have a higher base level of security that way. [18:08] i just loded ubuntu on the same drive as windows xp...... it would load straight into XP.... i fixed the MBR through the live cd... and now it wont load to windows XP.... when i fix windows MBR it wont load to ubuntu..... can someone help pls [18:08] for the record: installing nvidia-glx server works like a breeze if you use envyng [18:08] shane2peru: don't worry about development releases - if you where serious you'd be on the developer mailing list or following development [18:08] gavagai: but only for a data drive. windows itself should still be on NTFS.

I though You wrote the "export" cmd to do some seek (like grep e.g.). I don't know all the unix commands well. :) [18:16] _PeskyJ: you do not get to a working system? then there nothing you can do... maybe trying with the hardy install and then upgrade ? it will take more time but... [18:16] khaotik doesn't that need a closed source driver ? [18:16] any suggestions? [18:16] andrei_: what program fails? [18:16] pwtoxic: google grub [18:16] !grub | pwtoxic [18:16] andrei_: do what ikonia said and use the troubleshooter but if that fails and/or it isn't in the troubleshooter try turning up the volume for "PCM" as well as the master volume. May not work but give it a shot, and don't forget to try things around 50% so if it works you don't bust them. [18:16] pwtoxic: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

I have the alternate cd iso mounted but wanted to know if i would lose all my 3rd party installed apps like converstation, filezilla, amsn,etc when upgrading. Thanks [18:17] I've got a problem doing a minimal install of Intrepid [18:17] i restrore grub and then it wont load windows [18:17] umm not to ad to the unorganized chatter but why does linux have a hard time connecting to a passworded network or a local one [18:17] The install aborts because base-passwd won't install, it says "permission denied" [18:17] How do I force the install? [18:17] Ok did vmware not make it to the Intrepid repos? [18:17] Owner: I didn't say restore grub - I said you need to repair the windows install [18:18] can anyone help me? i am trying to install java for ubuntu 6.06 LTS. I have tried to follow the help, but still nothing! [18:18] uman: Do you have a separate partition for /home? [18:18] Owner: it fails to load it or simply lacks an entry to load it? [18:18] guest4411, i do indeed [18:18] uman: i have done what you did and my filezilla still works [18:18] Owner: then after you restore grub add windows back to /boot/grub/menu.lst [18:18] <_PeskyJ> erUSUL: I get to the option menu (1. try ubuntu, 2. install, 3. check CD for defects, etc.) then if I pick anything that tries to load ubuntu it comes with the error [18:18] how do i do that chukmoney [18:19] uman, if those apps were installed from the repositories they should upgrade just fine [18:19] _PeskyJ: i see... the error prevents ubuntu for loading properly so there is no terminal or anything aviable yet [18:19] Owner: edit it with a text editor. use something like gedit or nano. but be VERY CAREFUL if you're not comfortable with it, else you will lose grub and have to restore it again. [18:19] erUSUL: i'm making a test in System->Preferences->Sound and at Sound Playback I select ALC883 Analog and then I hit Test. it apeares another window and a progress bar goes from one side to the other (so I don't get no error) but I hear no sound [18:19] <_PeskyJ> erUSUL: well whatever minimal system is in place to display the menu at least === Exteris_ is now known as Exteris [18:19] 17 19 * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && amarok ─ and I'm afraid SOA#1, Pe1o. Also tried with doublequotes and .0 ... [18:20] Owner: also, as erUSUL would tell you, if you have windows listed on the boot menu, your problem is most likely not in menu.lst. [18:20] Has anyone found vmware in the repos/ [18:20] my compy cant connect to a wireless network that is passworded, and yes i know the password... can i change that? [18:20] can someone please tell me how to install java for ubuntu 6.06 [18:20] Marsjanin, ???? [18:20] Owner: editing menu.lst will only help if it's not listed there [18:20] sysdoc you should really give virtualbox a try its awesome. [18:20] in alsa-mixer all volumes are at maximum [18:21] its listed in menu.lst i checked [18:21] andrei_: oops i thought you hear the test but other apps failed... [18:21] no :( [18:21] maxxist_, does it freaking work?? lol [18:21] Marsjanin, copy/paste exactly 25 * * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && amarok [18:21] ummm... about that wireless... [18:21] Whops. SAA#1? "Standard Admin's Answer no. 1: That works fine for me". [18:21] sysdoc: in the multiverse repos there is a free vmware player. it will run existing vmwares but won't let you make new ones. vmware doesn't release a .deb package for ubuntu so you'll have to compile one from their source. and pay for it, of course. [18:22] is there is thrird party loader i can use in ubuntu [18:22] anyone know how to force windows sizes? [18:22] * Marsjanin copies [18:22] sysdoc it works really really well. if you goto virtualbox.org and get the 2.04 .deb I have been using it since 2.0 and have had no problems. [18:22] sysdoc-> you should use virtualbox [18:22] bobbiem: Sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin [18:22] Answering my own question from earlier: If you want to use a Wacom tablet with ubuntu, check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom [18:22] how do i install ath5k module in ubuntu 8.04? [18:22] <_PeskyJ> erUSUL: it displays the progress bar, then gets as far as BusyBox built in shell (ash) then it says (initramfs) [ end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector repeatedly [18:22] sysdoc-> get the virtualbox repository then it will auto update [18:22] should i even bother with my question?... [18:22] erUSUL: can u help me please? i really don't know what to do anymore... === _PeskyJ is now known as PeskyJ [18:23] someone anyone? [18:23] bobbiem: Use Tab key to change fileds when it asks about license agreement, Enter to selct "OK" or so [18:23] anyone experience in installing ubuntu with raid1? [18:23] _PeskyJ: well the initramfs shell has some commands but i do not think there is somthing we can do from it to debug the issue [18:23] rockstar92: it won't get answered unless you ask :) [18:23] sysdoc: maxxist_ is correct also. virtualbox is really good too. If you need to import an existing vmware machine from another computer use the free vmware player from the multiverse repo, else, use virtualbox [18:23] sysdoc in fact I am right now using xchat under xubuntu in ubuntu [18:23] Anyone would happen to know a fix for my keyboard? It suddenly stopped working, I've tried rebooting a few times now, its odd that at the KDM window it will work, but as soon as I'm /in/ the keyboard doesn't work at all. [18:23] pw-toxic: I haven't done it myself but I've seen quite a few tutorials on the net [18:23] sysdoc: there is a free version of vmware server out there.. I switched to virtualbox..seems easier to me.. [18:23] genii, i tried that and it said command not found [18:23] pw-toxic: have you checked the alternate install cd? it might have some nice functionality for it [18:24] #CAcert [18:24] !info virtualbox-ose | sysdoc [18:24] Slart: do you know if it has anything to do with the raid1 that ubuntu doesnt appear in the OS boot menu?

Version 2.0.2-dfsg-0ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 6089 kB, installed size 20660 kB [18:24] * Marsjanin waits for :25 [18:24] FFForever: not sure. if it's in the repos just use apt-get or synaptic. otherwise, do apt-get build-essential and compile it from source.

[18:24] tsop: if im not mistaken there is a couple buttons you can press that lock your key board try looking for those [18:24] Slart: i have just isntalled ubuntu with selecting the hard drive myself... 30GB for "/" and 4GB swap [18:25] Slart: no i mean there isnt any boot menu [18:25] FFEMTcJ, the ath5k driver is available from the linux*backports* package [18:25] PeskyJ: but if the cdrom works in that other OS it may be a kernel bug. if that's th case you may want to try installing hardy instead of intrepid and upgrade [18:25] erUSUL: does that mean the sr0 device is the ramfs device? [18:25] how can i change colors? [18:25] Hi, I have a Ubuntu 8.04 firewall/gateway server for our LAN. The server has a layer7, ipp2p and tinyproxy installed. Since I only have 512kbit bandwidth, I want to shape the traffic using tc/htb. What I want to do is to prioritize and give http a highier bandwidth (384) and give the remaining bandwidth to other application such as p2p or ftp. I am new to tc/htb, please help me how to write script for this. Thanks [18:25] #cacert [18:25] Slart: windows just starts without asking me which one i want to boot [18:25] i found how do i change resolution [18:25] hrmm.. all video (whether an avi file played in VLC media player) or flash videos.. any video plays really choppy and the audio is skipping and everything is very very slow... im assuming it's myd rivers [18:25] but not colors [18:25] * Marsjanin HAS GOT amarok installed :] [18:25] but how do I fix it? [18:25] chuckmoney, multiverse repo I'm not seeing that repo for Intrepid [18:25] Slart: but now i think ubuntu just doesnt know where my windows was installed... [18:25] pw-toxic: hmm.. are you sure the install finished? you didn't chose not to install grub? [18:25] bobbiem: Also, multiverse repository needs to be enabled ahead of this if not already [18:26] PeskyJ: no as i said /dev/sr0 is the cdrom drive (modern kernels see all ide sata usb etc as scsi drives hence the device name) [18:26] Slart: well i wasnt asked anything about grub [18:26] jgonick, I just installed vmware 2.0 from the vmware site [18:26] sysdoc just grab the deb from virtualbox.org it is well tested with ubuntu [18:26] sysdoc: may not be one for intrepid yet. packages in multiverse are packages released without any available source code, almost always from companies. unless vmware has made a deb for inptepid yet, there won't be one. [18:26] erUSUL: ahh ok. [18:26] I need a bit of help with the Ubuntu packaging system. I found that the Hardy Heron xl2tp package has a show stopping bug. The solution is to recompile the source for that package using a modified Makefile. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that. Any useful guides out there ? [18:26] hey, are there any config files for boot camp? to be used when boot camp no longer recognizes the drives on my mac.. .P [18:26] hey there, anyone got skills with pulseaudio? [18:26] Exitialis: In you menu there is screen resolution. Have you checked to see if it added more resolutions? [18:27] chuckmoney, yea I had to alien the rpm package from their site [18:27] Pe1o: Huh, that not works at all. :( All the command like wget works. [18:27] erUSUL: I guess I'll have to try a different OS to see if it's a kernel/driver issue... I could try knoppix [18:27] SO, the cron is running. [18:27] i'm making a test in System->Preferences->Sound and at Sound Playback I select ALC883 Analog and then I hit Test. it apeares another window and a progress bar goes from one side to the other (so I don't get no error) but I hear no sound [18:27] jgonick: nope stillmaxing out at 800x640 [18:27] PeskyJ: yep or another ubuntu version [18:27] pw-toxic: hmm.. I don't install ubuntu enough it seems =) usually it installs grub, puts ubuntu and windows in the grub boot up menu and lets you choose when you boot.. I doubt having raid1 would stop this from working but I can't say I'm sure [18:27] Marsjanin, pastebin your crontab for me please [18:27] maxxist_, will vbmount and run an install of xp on another partition? [18:27] Is there a way to do authenticated podcasts in rhythmbox? [18:27] !pastebin | Marsjanin [18:27] Marsjanin: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [18:27] hello how do i change colors in ubuntu to 1024X768 32bit [18:27] Slart: yes i know.. i have done this once with my notebook and everything worked === Out_Cold is now known as Mr_Fixit [18:28] not sure who asked a minute ago about their raid1 but a raid device will always be md#, i.e. md0. you will have to configure grub to use /dev/md0 as the root. usually the best solution is to make a separate partition for /boot (and for swap), and then put everything else in the raid. [18:28] pw-toxic: see above [18:28] sysdoc possibly you would have to check the docs. sorry i dont run it that way. [18:28] * Marsjanin does crontab -l and pastes it someplace else :P [18:28] genii, how do i enable multiverse repository? [18:28] bobbiem: System>Admin>Softwre sources [18:29] join #ubuntu_br [18:29] !repos [18:29] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [18:29] hrmm.. all video (whether an avi file played in VLC media player) or flash videos.. any video plays really choppy and the audio is skipping and everything is very very slow... im assuming it's myd rivers [18:29] but how do I fix it? [18:29] can anyone read what i write? [18:29] Is there a way to take a drive in a windows computer and mount it as a folder in my linux system? [18:29] PerSeL: yes [18:29] Slart: well the raid1 thing was a trick to get an answer anyway ;) i also dont think raid1 is the problem ^ [18:29] slart can you help me with my problem? [18:29] also - i didn't have this issue with ubuntu 8.04 [18:29] Is there a way to take a drive in a NETWORKED windows computer and mount it as a folder in my linux system? [18:30] pw-toxic: you could always try reinstalling grub from a live cd.. it's one or two commands iirc [18:30] Xpistos: yes. add it to fstab and reboot or just run a normal mount command. you may want to install the ntfs-3g package if you don't have it already. [18:30] PerSeL: what kind of graphics card are you using? [18:30] Xpistos, sure, see mount.cifs(1) and mount.smbfs(1) [18:30] if he reinstalls grub from live cd his wondows wont work [18:30] Slart: for real i don't know it's a screen comp, i hope you know what i mean [18:30] same situation as me [18:30] PerSeL: what happens if you try clicking system, preferences, screen resolution.. can you change it there? [18:30] Xpistos: yeah, what unop said, if it's a networked drive. [18:31] my burner cd rom drive doesn't work in hardy heron [18:31] yes i can [18:31] Pe1o, http://www.nopaste.pl/7aq - this is ACTUALLY my crontab... I "played" with #testy section now. [18:31] how do I get to recognize I have the drive [18:31] Exitialis: in the xorg.conf what does it say in section"monitor" section"screen" [18:31] PerSeL: does that solve your problem? [18:31] chuckmoney I am not sure what mount.cifs means? [18:31] it was working fine in Gutsy Gibbon [18:31] Slart: the problem is that i'm in fear that my bootleader kills my windows and i cant boot windows again ;) [18:31] i can change resolution [18:31] not colors [18:31] Marsjanin, gimme a minute [18:31] chuckmoney: Is this a command or script? [18:31] Section "Monitor" [18:31] Identifier "Configured Monitor" [18:31] Xpistos: cifs is the common internet file system. it's the underlying system below SMB or SAMBA, the windows networking system [18:32] Slart: how did you isntall ubuntu? did you choose the partitions yourself where to install ubuntu? [18:32] Section "Screen" [18:32] Identifier "Default Screen" [18:32] Monitor "Configured Monitor" [18:32] Device "Configured Video Device" [18:32] Exitialis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [18:32] slart: no i want to change colors not resolution [18:32] chuckmoney: Thanks I will give that a try [18:32] pw-toxic: ah.. grub is very nice when it comes to other operating systems.... even if it doesn't create a boot menu choice you can easily add it yourself [18:32] anyone use kdm? [18:32] Xpistos: which means the command would be something like mount -t cifs or such. for the mount command, it's just a filesystem type. [18:32] unop: Thank you as well [18:32] !anyone | egoflux [18:32] egoflux: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [18:32] any one know how to remove this message from ubuntu "Graph this data and manage this system at https://landscape.canonical.com/" when you login to the ssh shell . [18:32] lol [18:32] how do i install the kernel restricted modules? [18:32] PerSeL: ah.. you're right.. there's only resolution there.. hang on.. let me check [18:33] 'lo all [18:33] can anyone recommend me of a program for recording sounds from the computer? (internet and such) [18:33] FFForever: they usually get installed by default [18:33] hi! I tried the encrypted private folder in ubuntu 8.10, but want to uninstall it now. how can I do it? I can't unmount the folder now, got a message telling me its busy or something :( [18:33] shawng_work: try editing /etc/motd [18:33] shawng_work, it's probably taken from /etc/motd or /etc/motd.tail [18:33] FFForever just open synaptic and search for linux-restricted-moudles and remove it [18:33] i did chuck [18:33] ljl it says ath5k should be in there.... [18:33] its not in either of thos 2 files [18:33] shawng_work, /etc/issue perhaps? [18:33] can anyone recommend me of a program for recording sounds from the computer? (internet and such) [18:34] FFForever nvm I thought you said uninstall [18:34] UserC, it's not trivial. there was a program that could do that in some cases, but it's no longer in the repositories and it's very updated. you could *probably* do it with an appropriate ALSA configuration file, but i'm not entirely sure how [18:34] hehe sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. kinda happy right now. ugrading to 8.10 fixed my docking station lockup issues :-). === nib_ is now known as acidfu[job] [18:34] shawng_work: no idea then. it must be something that runs on login, maybe in .bashrc or something. try killing whatever program it's running on login. [18:34] UserC: i suppose i could try to dig up some links from last time i investigated that [18:34] Ok in the repos for intrepid, universe and multiverse have been replaced with 'partmer' and 'partner (source code)'?? [18:34] hi, I have slight problem with compiz.. sometimes the windows' toolbar gets blank (http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotdn0.png the window with the game and the upper terminal window..) does anyone know what to do to fix it? [18:35] sysdoc: no, partner is a different thing, it's mostly for commercial/proprietary applications, and it's Canonical's repository [18:35] sysdoc: yes [18:35] PerSeL: hmm.. I can't really find anywhere to change the colour depth in ubuntu.. you might have to edit the X11 configuration file by hand.. or you could ask the channel again.. you want to change the colour depth to 32bit (or 24 bits, it's the same) [18:35] sysdoc: partner and miltiverse should be one and the same...I think. [18:35] UserC if you have the right cable, you could just put a chord from the headphone jack into the line-in and use audacity [18:35] LjL: that would help but you don't have to if it's that complex.. lol [18:35] Hi, after upgrading packages last night, including a new kernel, I no longer have any dns, and nm-connection-editor is not working [18:35] chuckmoney: wait, really? === Neurologic_ is now known as Guest20930 [18:35] noodlesgc: i had such a cable.. can't find it [18:35] i cant install 8.10. bet busybox. although 8.04 installs no problem [18:36] LiL: I do believe they are the same but I may be wrong. I know both contain software which is commercial software. [18:36] Exitialis: I'm not sure what to try next.. I know you can manually edit xorg.conf but it gets over my head fast. sorry [18:36] can someone tell me what mount point i have to enter when installing ubuntu? [18:36] anyone know how to fix a hardware problem [18:36] chuckmoney: in previous versions, "partner" was quite different from "multiverse" (and i wasn't aware of a "partmer" repository) [18:36] no worries, thanks for trying :) === Guaguasi-work is now known as Guaguasi[work] [18:37] I have no idea how to compile an Ubuntu package, and even less how to install it. I am hoping it is not more complicated than writing Make Install. Never tried this sort of maneuver on Linux. I especially don't understand what files i need from the http://packages.ubuntu.com/ site. [18:37] my dvd burner doesn't in Hardy Heron but it worked in Gutsy gibbon [18:37] there is /, /boot, /home, /tmp, /usr, /var, /srv, /opt, /usr/local what do these folders mean? [18:37] gnome-do keeps crashing for me. Here is stderr / stdout for the few minutes leading up to the crash: http://pastebin.com/d2ef5eac6 it happens regularly, and without me even using gnome-do === Guest20930 is now known as Neurosyn [18:37] chuckmoney: it used to be that "multiverse" contained patent-encumbered software more than actually proprietary software, and even when it contained proprietary software, it had to satisfy some requirements of distributability [18:37] Exitialis: whats your problem with xorg.conf? [18:37] is there beg difference between RHCT and Ubuntu knowledge? [18:37] chuckmoney, multiverse does not contain comercial software [18:37] how can I check whether my nvidia-glx is installed properly and working? [18:37] chuckmoney: "partner" on the other hand could contain just about anything as long as there was an agreement between canonical and whoever [18:37] chuckmoney, so, the virtualbox-ose ver 2.0.4-dfsg-0ubuntu1 is the correct ver??? ubottu reflects "In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.2-dfsg-0ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 6089 kB, installed size 20660 kB" [18:37] Some_ux: what are you trying to install [18:37] hardwired: run glxgears in a terminal and see what kind of info it prints out [18:37] pw-toxic: at the very least, you need to have a / mountpoint. this is the root directory that is the base of your filesystem [18:37] does nvidia glx support stereovision? (found no info bout it) [18:37] hardwired: glxgears [18:37] LjL: You are probably right actually. The gstreamer MP3 plugin is most definately not partner but would be multiverse so I'm not sure why multiverse would have disappeared in intrepid. [18:38] chuckmoney: i just checked "vlc" for instance, and it's still in multiverse as it's always been [18:38] I've got a question, can someone walk me through mounting my windows partition so I can access it, and make sure it's mounted on start up? [18:38] Zoem and how does ubuntu know where to boot from? [18:38] Marsjanin, ok I just corrected your crontab, removed a bunch of your test, fixed everyting else that I could figure out , test it , just change the time on the last line to check http://paste.ubuntu.com/68940/ , I'm not sure about your wit2000 line, you might have to make a bash script to start it and have crontab launch the script instead of the app directly [18:38] chuckmoney: i don't think it has, at least according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ it definitely has not [18:38] sysdoc: I just run qemu for my emulating needs. I'm not sure what the latest virtualbox or vmware is. [18:38] Twerk^: ok, trying [18:38] Hi, has anybody got 'WPA2 & WPA2 Enterprise' woring with TLS? I can't get the 'connect' button enabled :( [18:38] chuckmoney, ok thx [18:38] Some_ux: Ubuntu packages are not compiled, if you get them from the package repositories they are binaries. [18:38] Zoem i have used 30Gb Ext3 with "/" and 4GB SWAP ... ubuntu got successfully installed but if i start the computer there is no boot asker, and he just starts windows [18:38] LjL: sysdoc said he didn't have a multiverse available on intrepid. if he does, great. [18:39] chuckmoney, I just banged it in here, lol [18:39] Pici: err, so they *are* compiled ;) [18:39] Zoem: do you know what "/boot" is for? [18:39] chuckmoney: right, i think he's a bit confused though [18:39] pw-toxic: did you install windows before ubuntu? [18:39] hi all, i need to do port forwarding for particular range of ports can any one tell me ho to do that? [18:39] Anyone happen to know what the intel wifi driver (kernel module) is called (used in the inspiron 6400)? [18:39] Pe1o: If ANY SIMPLE X-window app starts, like gedit or amarok, then I'll testing others :) [18:39] Zoem: yes [18:39] pw-toxic: have you installed grub or another bootloader? [18:39] sysdoc: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list so i can understand this better? [18:39] Thenx [18:39] Thanx [18:39] Twerk how can i do this? [18:39] Twerk^: I don't have that command === Out_Cold is now known as fixit [18:39] Quick question,: running 8.10 on a desktop with no wireless, yet wpa-supplicant is running. What is the best way to tell ubuntu that I don't want wireless networking enabled? [18:39] dulak: Are you still there? [18:39] pw-toxic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [18:40] Hi, after upgrading packages last night, including a new kernel, I no longer have any dns, and nm-connection-editor is not working. Can anyone suggest a fix? === fixit is now known as mrfixit [18:40] gnome-do keeps crashing for me. Here is stderr / stdout for the few minutes leading up to the crash: http://pastebin.com/d2ef5eac6 it happens regularly, and without me even using gnome-do [18:40] sharperguy its either iwl3945 or iwl4965. You can check which is loaded with lsmod [18:40] sharperguy: it should be iwlagn afaik [18:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/68941/ [18:40] LjL & sysdoc I'm using 8.04 on everything right now so I don't know much about issues with Intrepid. I know an ASUS EEE 901 has almost zero compatability with Intrepid. Beyond that I haven't tried it on anything else. === mrfixit is now known as out_cold [18:40] help [18:40] hi all, i need to do port forwarding for particular range of ports, can any one tell me how to do that? [18:40] oops [18:40] Hello, everybody [18:40] hardwired: whats the error? [18:40] chuckmoney, actually the kernel that comes with Intrepid should bring several improvements toward eeepc compatibility [18:41] Twerk^: my monitor is stuck at 800x640maximum because i cant get drivers for it === jimmacdonald is now known as os2mac [18:41] Pici: I know I can use the Debian apt-get install thinggy, but that's not what i need. I need to Recompile the code in: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/net/xl2tpd [18:41] * Marsjanin goes eat, then comment all lines in crontab except testing one and will say a reesult, Pe1o. [18:41] howdy, i'm pretty new to emacs and i'm using v23.0.60.1 on the new Ubuntu 8.10 x64. I have a website I'm working on through curlftpfs, using both on 8.04 had no issues, however, since the upgrade, I get "IO error writing Input/output error", where is whatever i'm working on. It still saves my changes, but it doesn't register as such. [18:41] Twerk thx this seems interesting... but installing ubuntu like this is ok?: 30gb ext3 using "/" and 4GB using SWAP ? [18:41] ikonia: Again possibly a silly question - I'm using hardy. How can I get the "proposed" package for it as specified here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ov511/+bug/190450 [18:41] noodlesgc, yofel, thanks, lsmod shows iwl3945 [18:41] chuckmoney: Rebooting the server now [18:41] Anyone can help me with an issue to shell scripting PM me plz!!!! [18:42] pw-toxic: 4gb seems like a lot of swaP [18:42] gammy, you need to enable the "proposed" repositories on your software sources [18:42] Hi, has anybody got 'WPA2 & WPA2 Enterprise' woring with TLS in the new Networkmanager 7.0? I can't get the 'connect' button enabled :( [18:42] Hi. Im trying to make an HD mount at boot. Is this wrong: (fstab) /dev/sdb1 /mnt/Shared ntfs-3g auto quiet,auto,defaults,locale=en_US.utf8,umask=0 0 0 [18:42] pw-toxic: how much ram you have? [18:42] eCli: better help in #bash [18:42] thanx! [18:42] LjL: Not for me. didn't pick up wifi, bluetooth, or graphics. it even detected the Atom as a single core. I used the alpha build maybe 6 days before it hit release but it was far from stable. I went back to 8.04 with the custom EEE 901 kernel and it has been smooth sailing since. [18:42] when i try to run this script by ./file1 it tells me file1 no such file or directory.. however when i type in "ls" i see the file.. and it has +x chmod.. whats the problem with this? [18:42] The code in http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/net/xl2tpd contains a faulty flag in the Makefile. (and a missing If statement in one of the scripts) I just don't know what to do with it :( [18:42] hello! Can i change the format of a hdd without losing data? (probably not) I want to go from ntfs to whatever linux format [18:42] Twerk currently 2GB but probably soon 8GB [18:43] lyrae: looks ok to me assuming your boot drive is sdb [18:43] Twerk i got 2 TB hard disk intern and 1TB extern additionally [18:43] Cristi, you can't convert from ntfs to ext3, only with a backup&restore [18:43] Some_ux: out of curiosity why do you need to *compile* it rather than just install it? [18:43] pw-toxic: yes that partition scheme seems fine then [18:43] unique try typing ./fil and then hit tab [18:43] ok then i just reinstall it and watch the display.. i it still doesnt work i will try the grub thing in the forum [18:43] LjL: I have 2 friends running Intrepid who love it. I'm not against Intrepid, but I have 2 systems I use a lot. One is my EEE and the other is this one I spent 3 days getting dual displays working on, so if I use Intrepid, it'll be because Hardy has hit EOL. [18:43] noodlesgc: thats how im doing it [18:43] pw-toxic: just remember when installing grub that your drives start at 0 instead of 1 [18:44] Virtualbox appears to want to create a new partition/image and then install XP can anyone confirm this? Or am I reading this wrong? [18:44] I want to use crontab to run a PHP script. I just re-installed LAMP and everything works fine, however I don't have the /usr/bin/php5-cgi like I did before. Where is it now? Does it even exist? Can I run a PHP script without telling crontab about the program? [18:44] Twerk what does this mean to me? [18:44] joaopinto: how do you i change the format ? i format it with the live cd? [18:44] chuckmoney: i understand the feeling, however i have one thing to say - as long as everybody avoids using the standard kernel, the standard kernel will never get the much needed bug reports, and we'll be stuck forever with that custom kernel (with all the problems that having a forked kernel entertains) [18:44] Quick question,: running 8.10 on a desktop with no wireless, yet wpa-supplicant is running. What is the best way to tell ubuntu that I don't want wireless networking enabled? [18:44] joaopinto: so basically I have to do a complete upgrade? [18:44] sysdoc: it should create a virtual drive file or something of that sort, not a physical HDD partition. [18:44] sysdoc, VB creates a virtual partition/filesystem within a file [18:44] LjL: The reason I am saying this is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xl2tpd/+bug/247783 [18:44] Cristi, if you do not have data on it, just use the partition editor, and remove/add the partition [18:44] Hi, after upgrading packages last night in 8.10, including kernel 2.6.27-7, I no longer have any dns, and nm-connection-editor is not working. Can anyone suggest a fix? [18:45] Twerk: it is. but it doesnt work. If i take that line out fstab, then i see the drive under the 'places' menu. If i leave it in, i dont. (but it is mounted because i looked in /mnt/Shared and files are there) [18:45] pw-toxic: if your boot drive for ubuntu is sda1, your grub will need to be configured to (0,0) same as if your boot drive is sdb2, grub will like (1,1) [18:45] Voltaplein right click on network manager and uncheck the Wireless checkbox [18:45] sdb1 is windows [18:45] These are know bugs which were resolved in the Intrepid distro, but I can't upgrade to Intrepid, so i need to modify the Hardy source code for that package. [18:45] can i disable bluetooth i don't use it and it just drains my battery faster.... [18:45] joaopinto: yes i guess you are right [18:45] Twerk sdb1 is windows [18:45] pw-toxic: yes [18:46] joaopinto: thank you [18:46] noodlesgc: I cannot see such a button [18:46] chuckmoney: No luck. I think the problem is that I cannot see any shares in the network shares. I have two already bookmarked and they work, but I can't see anyshares for this computer [18:46] Some_ux: ok so the bug seems fixed in intrepid, why don't you try recompiling the *intrepid* package [18:46] pw-toxic: then the windows section of your grub will need to read (1,0) [18:46] Some_ux: you could also request a backport [18:46] Some_ux, you can't install packages from hardy in intrepid [18:46] brb burning iso in another room [18:46] oh, you are rebuilding, that's fine :P [18:46] chuckmoney: I am to the point I will just wipe the main drive and install Ubuntu desktop and use that as my file system [18:46] LjL: If someone wants to patch the standard kernel so the EEE's wifi works out of the box I would gladly run Intrepid and send in bug reports while I wait on the rest to get fixed. Without working wireless sending bug reports involves saving error logs to flash drives and using another system. But 800x600 isn't much worse than the default res on the EEE so I'd put up with it if it just had working wireless. [18:47] hey all [18:47] Twerk^: do i have to configure this myself to keep windows running? [18:47] joaopinto: I need the reverse, install Intrepid package on Hardy [18:47] hi [18:47] chuckmoney: Is there a difference to setting up Samba on U Server vs. U desktop? [18:47] someone there? [18:47] ok [18:47] Xpistos, no [18:47] I wana run 2 lines of script at boot time, one for putting 1 into the ip_forward file and another an iptable NAT [18:47] Or manually patch the source code for the Hardy distro myself [18:47] chuckmoney, err, but the array.org kernel (the one i guess you're using on Hardy) *is* also available on intrepid [18:47] where should I write them? [18:47] where do i change color depth? [18:47] I wrote them in /etc/rc.local [18:47] !prevu | Some_ux [18:47] Some_ux: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [18:47] but it doesn't seem to work [18:47] chuckmoney: (i still think people should run the standard kernel and report bugs against it, but nonetheless..) [18:48] i check the ip_forward file, it's empty [18:48] joapinto: My laptop and windows boxes are fine. If I put FreeNAS on the server that is good, but I can get samba working on the U server [18:48] SirBijan: use /etc/rc.local [18:48] Xpistos: if that sounds good to you it sounds good to me. One word of caution though, when you start to setup SAMBA on Ubuntu, stick to the actual samba config file if any windows machines will be accessing it, not the Ubuntu GNOME GUI. When you have to get SAMBA and the Filesystem to agree on how to set permissions it gets sticky. [18:48] joapinto: My laptop and windows boxes are fine. If I put FreeNAS on the server that is good, but I CAN'T get samba working on the U server [18:48] erUSUL: I told ya, it doesn't seem to work [18:48] anyone here can help me with color depth? [18:48] i dunno why [18:48] it's already there [18:48] before the "exit 0" line === fernando is now known as Guest6063 [18:49] Hi, after upgrading packages last night in 8.10, including kernel 2.6.27-7, I no longer have any dns, and nm-connection-editor is not working. Can anyone suggest a fix? [18:49] hi, I have slight problem with compiz.. sometimes the windows' toolbar gets blank (http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotdn0.png the window with the game and the upper terminal window..) does anyone know what to do to fix it? [18:49] i want to share my internet-connection via firestarter - but i don't get it - my laptop is connected via wlan to a router - this router is connected to the internet - now i want to share the internet via my laptop to my private network but i dont get it [18:49] but as I "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward", it's a big 0 in there! [18:49] noodlesgc: I cannot see such a button [18:49] SirBijan: paste the file on paste.ubuntu.com [18:49] Twerk^: ah sorry, I'm back now. no error, just no glxgears installed. what package is it in? [18:49] chuckmoney: Thanks for the advice. Luckily the Tutorial I got was to edit the config files so there we are good to go [18:49] unop, are you running virtualbox?? And can I use it to run an existing XP install on another partition? [18:49] Marsjanin, I just tested it with amarok , I installed it just to test, this line works perfectly 49 * * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && amarok [18:49] noodlesgc: The network manager has a tab for wireless (nothing in mine) but no global yes/no button that I can find [18:50] Xpistos: yes, there is. Ubuntu Server is a console-only system so the only way to set up SAMBA is via editing the config file. Ubuntu Desktop has GNOME, a desktop environment, and as such has a GUI to configure SAMBA, though again, when dealing with a network with windows clients, you should use the config file method regardless. [18:50] Some_ux: it's actually pretty straightforward to compile an Intrepid package on Hardy, if dependencies haven't changed [much]. 1) add the relevant *source* repository line to /etc/apt/sources.list 2) do "sudo apt-get update" 3) do "sudo apt-get build-dep packagename" 4) do "sudo apt-get --build source packagename" 5) remove the line from sources.list [18:50] hi [18:50] Twerk^: output of dpkg -S `which glxgears` ?

[18:51] erUSUL: yes, it's executable as I see [18:51] Xpistos: also, keep in mind that if you're using a windows login domain and/or active directory then you will have to deal with configuring that. I spent 8 months at a job I had 2 years ago trying to figure out how to make SAMBA work with AD to no avail. [18:51] joaopinto, Yea, I have heard rumors that it can, and the setup isn't that hard but the install appears to be the problem [18:51] lol [18:51] i only get the CPU temps [18:52] unique, try the "file" command from start [18:52] unique: file /bin/bash [18:52] unique: see if "cat /proc/cpuinfo" has "lm" in the "flags" [18:52] unique, what processor d you have?

[18:53] Hi guys, I have a question. I have a thinkpad laptop, which like many other laptops now-a-days comes with a recovery partition. I'd like to dual-boot Ubuntu and XP on my machine while leaving the recovery partition intact and still bootable. Last time I tried this I could dual-boot fine, but I somehow messed it up so that I could no longer boot into the recovery partition... [18:53] Hi, after upgrading packages last night in 8.10, including kernel 2.6.27-7, I no longer have any dns, and nm-connection-editor is not working. Can anyone suggest a fix? [18:53] Voltaplein, try: dpkg -S wpa-supplicant [18:53] and remove the package containing it [18:53] can someone with nvidia installed please tell me the output of dpkg -S `which glxgears` [18:53] I don't really need the Intrepid version, I know precisely which files to modify in the sourcecode of the Hardy version (it says in the bug post, to simply add a flag to the Makefile) Is Prevu good for that ? [18:53] Xpistos: then I don't forsee any issues. It should be clear sailing for you. Unless you're going to use something else on the server in GNOME, install Ubuntu Server to cut down on overhead. [18:53] erUSUL: no, it's there!

[18:54] joaopinto: did that, but NetworkManager depends on wpasupplicant. I just want to tell it to forget about wireless for my machine and not load the daemon [18:54] Some_ux: i've never used prevu, but you can also do what i explained for the hardy version (except drop the "--build", because you'll need to edit stuff before building) [18:54] !gaim [18:54] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.

Does it even exist? Can I run a PHP script without telling crontab about the program? [18:54] javajeff, unison shouldn't have to bother with details of the filesystem, it just bothers about the files themselves [18:54] okay, can someone help me with something? [18:54] geirha: yea it shows up as 64bit.. is there any way for me to reinstall it to 32bit ? [18:54] or upgrade it or something [18:54] My wacom tablet stuck away the border and this to be wrong calibrate, do you know how to solve it ? [18:54] or is there a way for me to run this 32bit application? [18:54] Antioch: most likely whatever you tried before overwrote a special IBM boot loader. Unfortunately, unless you can edit the menu for that IBM bootloader, you can't dual boot and keep your recovery partition. [18:55] unop: I am getting a permission error. Can Ubuntu 8.1 write to ntfs? [18:55] It's a Grapire2 (Bus 003 Device 002: ID 056a:0011 Wacom Co., Ltd Graphire 2) [18:55] unique: what application is it? [18:55] chuckmoney alright. Ill just boot it from GRUB then :) [18:55] its some private script that i need [18:55] unique: you can usually run 32 bit apps on a 64 bti system.. unless it needs a lot of 32 bit libraries [18:55] javajeff, yes, if the volume was mounted with the fuse/ntfs-3g driver - no, if it was mounted with the ntfs driver [18:55] ffej2ffej, install the php5-cgi package. [18:55] unique: what did "file file1" return? [18:56] unop, there is a tutorial for it that seems to work well, if my install would work, lol [18:56] chuckmoney: There are currently two issues in play that I can see. 1) For some reason when I try to update my software sites, the Ubuntu CD keeps erring out and 2) do i have to do anything with smbd I am new to the server in ubuntu and I am only dealing with smb.conf [18:56] Antioch: you will either have to install ubuntu with no boot loader and add Ubuntu to the IBM bootloader, or yeah, install Ubuntu with GRUB and hopefully add a GRUB entry for your recovery partition. Most likely the recovery partition is a standard DOS partition. [18:56] i need a help to change color depth anyone can help me with that? [18:56] unop. I just have it mounted with fstab. [18:56] i need to find the device file for my xubuntu install, but i have no idea which one it uses [18:56] javajeff, ok, but what driver did you specify? [18:56] I am able to write to the partition by drag and drop. [18:57] Slart: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped [18:57] i should have said my cdrom [18:57] chuckmoney Yea, that was my backup plan. I somehow wanted to find a way to retain the functionality of the Thinkvantage button, which when pressed during bootup takes you to the recovery partition. [18:57] Unop. Do not know what driver. just a standard 8.10 install [18:57] Xpistos: for 2) no, smbd is a binary so you can't really edit it anyway, you'd only be messing with smb.conf [18:57] I run "iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface ppp0 -j MASQUERADE" and it gives me no error [18:57] PerSeL: the color depth of what, X? [18:57] i found info on it, but i have no idea which device file to use [18:57] but then when I run "iptables -L", I can't see my rule defined in there [18:57] javajeff, if you are able to copy files over, unison should be able to. what exactly are the error messages you are gettings? [18:57] LjL: I want to set it to 32 [18:57] but I'm sure it's working, coz it does masquerade [18:57] getting* [18:57] Antioch: you probably can't. [18:57] I was looking for a sync tool to keep data similiar between windows and linux [18:57] PerSeL: it's usually set to 24 (which really is 32) by default [18:58] chuckmoney Alright, backup plan it is then. Thanks :D [18:58] javajeff, rsync :) [18:58] LjL: and how can i be sure it's 24? [18:58] LjL: I have another problem, the machine I am using is not connected to the web (in part, due to the fact that the xl2tp is faulty) So Can i still do the steps you suggested ? [18:58] unique: well.. it's an executable alright.. so it's not a script.. do you get some kind or error when you try to run it? [18:58] rsync was my second choice, but I read people switching to Unison [18:58] Xpistos: as for 1) you should probably just redownload the ISO. If you don't have a blank CD you could always boot it from a flash drive (a 1GB, obviously) [18:58] erUSUL: any idea on the case? [18:58] unique: you could try installing those 32 bit libraries.. ia32 something [18:58] unique, ia32-libs [18:58] PerSeL: xdpyinfo | grep "depth of root" [18:58] !info ia32-libs | unique [18:59] unique: Package ia32-libs does not exist in intrepid [18:59] error: jeff_01.20081104124114.xac [18:59] Failed to set permissions of file /mnt/sda2/Documents/gnucash/jeff_01.20081104124114.xac to ??-?--?--: the permissions was set to ??x?wx?wx instead.

Well I guess I will just reinstall server and then start again. In MS Server I can do this blindfolded, but I want to rid myself of them so I keep chanting my mantra Linux. Linux, Linux ... [18:59] is there a way to get active x controls to work in firefox in Ubuntu (ibex)? [18:59] anyone have luck with a MS Lifecam VX-3000 in 8.10? [18:59] is there any good program to watch tv using a tv-tuner , on ubuntu ? [18:59] Some_ux: no you cannot, not on that machine [18:59] !tv | timewriter [18:59] timewriter: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [18:59] Antioch: yanno you COULD most likely map a key to just reboot the system and pick the recovery partition when it reboots. Or just use ctrl-alt-del in Ubuntu. But I think maybe the IBM system jumps you back a few minutes or something so you really can't duplicate that functionality. [18:59] thank you [19:00] my MS Lifecam VX3000 does not work with 8.10 [19:00] so which one ill use ? [19:00] javajeff, are the files being copied tho? currently, there is no way you can translate unix permissions for ntfs - in otherwords, ntfs-3g does not have that capability (yet) [19:00] sudo apt-get install ia32-libs.. it tells me that it cannot find it [19:00] joaopinto: ..was my presumption correct? :o Where might I find more information about doing so? [19:00] Hi! I just turned on my pc after moving houses (it was off for months) and the time was in front by one week or so. So I changed the system time, but this causes the problem that I can't use sudo. It gives me the following error: sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Nov 13 19:50:41 2008 [19:00] Some_ux: you can move stuff manually to that machine, i guess, but it'll be quite cumbersome to do, because you'll also have to get the various build dependencies installed [19:00] chuckmoney I'll look into it. I found a good article on a wiki related to the subject. [19:00] the status is a red X and says failed. I am using the gui [19:00] Xpistos: good luck man. If you're going to do this on another system try to stick in the chat and we'll walk you through as much as we can. [19:01] LjL: it's tell me 24 planes [19:01] gammy, i am not following you, sorry [19:01] jordo2323: I don't think so [19:01] javajeff, what GUI? [19:01] PerSeL: so you're all set [19:01] timewriter: I like tvtime and also mplayer [19:01] the graphical interface for Unison [19:01] im installing mythtv [19:01] I want to use crontab to run a PHP script. I just re-installed LAMP and everything works fine, however I don't have the /usr/bin/php5-cgi like I did before. Where is it now? Does it even exist? Can I run a PHP script without telling crontab about the program? [19:01] LjL: but anyway i think my screen can work better with 32 [19:01] okay, install of ubuntu from cdrom will not detect a cdrom driver [19:01] jgonick: mplayer drives what, DVB cards? analog? [19:01] chuckmoney: I will jump back in a few hours. The ball and chain gave me a honey do list, so time to get cracking [19:01] LjL: at least in windows xp it looks better with 32 [19:01] PerSeL, and you think wrong [19:01] javajeff, ok, but have you verified that the files are being copied using nautilus (or whatever your file browser is) ? [19:01] chuckmoney: thanks again [19:02] i found the info on the drive though using dmesg | -i cd-rom [19:02] FREEDOM! [19:02] ffej2ffej, install the php5-cgi package. (for the second time) [19:02] Xpistos: no problem. glad I could help. (and glad I'm just 21 and single too.) [19:02] PerSeL: 24 bits means 8 bits per pixel, which in turn means 256 shades of green, red, and blue [19:02] joaopinto: Does enabling the "proposed" repo imply that I will have to upgrade more than ov511-dev ? [19:02] so not i have that info, but what do i do with it? [19:02] LjL: is it realy that hard to change depth color that you're not tell me it? [19:02] PerSeL: 32 bit means the same, except there's 8 more bit for something called "alpha channel", which is basically transparency [19:02] GTK interface. The files are already there, I am hoping the program will update and replace them [19:02] Thanks, unop. I didn't see it before. [19:02] PerSeL: i've ALREADY told you that what Ubuntu's X calls "24 bit" really is 32 bit [19:02] chuckmoney: sometimes I wish I was too [19:02] jordo2323: although there are some hits on google for using wine to run some kind of mozilla active x thingy.. [19:02] PerSeL: perhaps you didn't pay very much attention [19:03] maybe I should just try rsync [19:03] LjL: ok thank you [19:03] PerSeL: i can tell you how to change your color depth, but if you set it to 32, it will just give you an error. that's because the alpha channel is enabled when you set 24 bit, and 32 is just short for "24 plus alpha channel" [19:03] javajeff, jeez. copy some other files or see if these files have actually been updated -- the errors you are getting are just warnings. [19:03] javajeff: not going to try to jump in the middle of someone else helping you, but when using Unison-gtk, if you just use "merge" on the topmost level of what you're trying to sync and then click "run" it will usually do everything else for you. [19:03] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [19:03] LjL: I thought it was 8 bits of buffer. [19:03] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [19:04] raar: not sure which files need to get the timestamp set to fix that, but I believe a reboot will fix it [19:04] Pici: buffer? [19:04] LjL: I don't know, I'm tired. [19:04] LjL: ok i got the point thank you again [19:04] when i try to install ia32-libs.. i get that error [19:04] chuckmoney, the problem he has is unison trying to set permissions for the files copied to an NTFS volume. [19:04] LjL: so basicly i'm @ 32 like in windows [19:04] Pici: LjL is right afaik the extra 8 bits is alpha channel [19:04] LjL: I use mplayer for an old win-TV card (analog -- I suppose) [19:04] unique: do you have synaptic running in the background? [19:04] geirha: ah ok, I'll give that a shot - thanks! [19:04] PerSeL: yep [19:04] erUSUL: I stand (sit) corrected then. [19:04] bonsoir :) [19:04] LjL: Am I correct in assuming all i need to compile that package is libc6 and ppp ? (http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/net/xl2tpd) [19:04] unique: check and be sure ubuntu isn't checking for updates. look at the icons in the system tray. if it's looking for updates the icon will be gray. if it is, that's what's using dpkg. [19:04] Pici: there's probably several ways to use those spare 8 bits, most commonly it's called the alpha channel, but i can't exclude X also uses it for other stuff [19:05] Pici: :) [19:05] chuckmoney: I want to send files from one direction to the other. Are you saying Merge will automatically keep the newest between the two directions? The instructions are hard to search. [19:05] Is there a font browser for Ubuntu? [19:05] dpkg -S libGL.so.1.2 gives me: libgl1-mesa-glx: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 [19:05] unop and javajeff: there isn't an option for that in unison-gtk but the console command has an option to set permissions on either end. don't think it supports NTFS though. [19:05] unique-> if you cat /var/lib/dpkg/lock and get a number it is locked [19:05] OsamaK: I think there is one or two available in synaptic [19:05] whats the app for linux that takes care of backups [19:05] Some_ux: well, you also need "build-essential" (which every package needs to compile, since it includes, among other things... the compiler). but still, no, those two dependencies listed are just the *runtime* dependencies, not the *build* dependencies [19:05] !backup | azendal [19:05] azendal: There are many ways to back your system up.

[19:06] chuckmoney i dont seee any refrence in .bashrc that would mean that [19:06] n8tuser: i get nothing there.. [19:06] chuckmoney, i have no idea about unison, all i know is that unix permission aren't translated for NTFS by the current ntfs-3g driver. [19:06] its something like time machine for the mac [19:06] azendal: Dunno about backups per se, but I just went through a multiple disk failure and a friend highly recommended setting up a unison setup so my personal files are always automatically backed up. [19:06] unique-> it should be okay then === Elad is now known as E3b [19:07] shawng_work: no clue then. restate your issue and maybe someone else can help you [19:07] Some_ux: i don't know how to list the build dependencies, i just know that "apt-get build-dep" will install them [19:07] hello I need some help please, on Workspace Switcher I have only 2 desktop and I cant add more, how can I fix it? [19:07] hello [19:07] n8tuser: well i cant apt-get anything.. [19:07] I have a question about the ubuntu development/package process [19:07] i will try to reboot [19:08] Some_ux: apt-cache showsrc packagename will show the build-deps [19:08] there was a problem with the evdev driver that resulted in volume keys sticking on a lot of laptops [19:08] oops [19:08] chuckmonkey: Merge did not do anything [19:08] now it tells me: E: Couldn't find package ia32-libs [19:08] Pici: Thanks ! [19:08] I wrote a patch for the evdev driver, fixing the problem [19:08] i've disabled Nautilus as my desktop file manager - what alternatives are there? [19:08] what do I do now? (i.e. testing, etc) [19:08] javajeff: not sure if I was clear. If File1 on SystemA is newer than File1 on SystemB, and File2 on SystemB is newer than File2 on SystemA, Merge mode will put File1 from SystemA and File2 from SystemB on both systems so both have the newest of each file. Does that explain it? [19:08] KaiForce: if you go to #ubuntu-bots and ask to "list every file manager", it will give you a few [19:08] anyone having issues with playing avi files?

[19:09] LjL thanks [19:09] In Intrepid, if I manually set eth0 IP address it works, but after rebooting it resets back to DHCP, is this a known issue or just something screwy with my laptop? [19:09] is there anyway root can be locked out of a file. like if you did sudo chmod 000 file.txt. i assume yes since root has no access then, but then how would he get perms back? i didnt want to test with my system yet :) [19:09] Pici: Do i need to install the package to run that command ? [19:09] Slart: can you name one? [19:09] Slart: it is still using windows and there is no boot menu [19:09] Some_ux: No. [19:09] flakrat-> in the interfaces file set it as static [19:09] just chmodding them back will give root access? [19:10] n8tuser, so bypass the Network Manager gui? [19:10] #CAcert [19:10] flakrat-> man interfaces [19:10] chiliblue: no. You might need to install gstreamer codecs, most likely xvid or divx, or even ffmpeg. If that doesn't make them playable, it's usually an issue with graphics or sound drivers, i.e. not specific to your avi. [19:10] ok, thank you [19:10] flakrat: ifconfig changes do not survive reboots. System>Preferences>Network Settings? [19:10] flakrat-> if you have static ip assigned, you dont need nm gui to set things [19:10] I have them installed, must be video then I guess [19:10] hello I need some help please, on Workspace Switcher I have only 2 desktop and I cant add more, how can I fix it?

I looked at dmesg and i dont see this message there . any idea what this is and how i can turn it off ? [19:11] chuckmonkey: I understand how it works. I just cannot get it to work. I am able to manually copy the files from ext3 to ntfs, but I get errors trying to do it with Unison [19:11] E3b: just right-click the workspace switched and select Preferences, then increase the number of columns or rows. [19:12] chuckmoney, I dont have Preferences there... [19:12] hi all! I have a little problem, I want to install 8.04 on my stylistic st4110 tablet, I tried booting from the live CD in standard and safe video mode, but when the X system starts I get white columns on the screen wich gradually has more intensity, any idea with this? thx in advance [19:12] n8tuser, except for the wifi card, this is a docked laptop, so static on eth0 and dhcp on wlan0. I'll hard code it via interfaces, thanks :-) [19:12] I'm trying to connect something to my machine by a serial port. Is there a way to find out where it is connected using dmesg or something like that> [19:12] E3b: Never heard of that. Do you get preferences when you right click any other panel applets? [19:12] can anyone help me to get ubuntu starting? [19:13] chuckmoney, yes.. [19:13] i have installed ubuntu but windows is booting instead of ubuntu [19:13] Hello ubuntu world!! iz got a problemo. i can't view youtube videos but i do hear the sound. whyyyyyyyyyyyy? [19:13] okie dokie, so I'm trying to install java and I downloaded it to the site....I sudo chmod a+x .bin and now I have another .bin that the instructions tell me to ./.bin but that doesn't work [19:13] chuckmonkey: I think the problem is that Unison is trying to set permissions. It does not know that the one direction is ntfs. How do I tell it to ignore permissions? [19:13] !java | dangsos [19:13] Pe1o: That's nice You installed Amarok just for that test, but there was no reeason; NO app works, even gedit. I commented all the lines but the teesting one (last). Gedit didn't started. Maybe that's some with 'export'? Is that an application? [19:13] dangsos: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [19:13] E3b: sounds like maybe you should just remove and reinstall the gnome-panel-applets package then. the issue sounds like a bad copy of the applet. [19:13] !java [19:13] chuckmoney, ok.. I remove it from the pannel and add it again and now I have [19:13] chuckmoney, thanks!

[19:14] pw-toxic: hmm.. how did you install ubuntu? using the normal install cd? === b33r_ is now known as b33r [19:14] I forgot to mention, I have another Ubuntu machine with an almost identical setup which does have web access, can that help me ? [19:15] Slart: i burned cd 8.10 cd i386 [19:15] startet ubuntu live [19:15] clicked onto the install icon [19:15] i did everything normal except using the hard drive manually [19:15] selection the hard drive manually.. [19:15] javajeff: does it fail trying to copy any files at all or just on certain directories? Unison doesn't understand even the most vague concept of NTFS permissions, and it runs with whatever permissions the windows user account it's running as has on windows. Any problem with NTFS permissions in unison is due to running it as a non-admin user in windows. Try running Unison as the local Administrator account on the windows en [19:15] d and see if it works. === eric is now known as Guest43906 [19:16] javajeff: and it's money, not monkey. I don't mind but if you type chuckmonkey it doesn't highlight the message and I barely notice it. [19:16] can i check that ubuntu was installed correctly when windows is bootet ? [19:16] does nautilus still have issues with smb shares? [19:16] pw-toxic: well.. then I have no idea why it isn't working.. sorry.. sounds like you did it all.. [19:16] my mic is muted in audio controls automatically in ubuntu. i have to unmute it all the time [19:16] can someone help ? [19:17] pw-toxic: I don't really know.. windows isn't my thing =) [19:17] Is there a way to make the "Not connected? Printer 'printer' may not be connected" popup go away? It just won't stop... [19:17] chuckmoney: Very sorry. I did not notice because you are yellow on white with XChat coloring [19:17] Slart: damnit i really want to see compiz with nvidia and dual view ;) [19:17] Hello ubuntu world!! iz got a problemo. i can't view youtube videos but i do hear the sound. whyyyyyyyyyyyy? [19:17] chiliblue: not usually but I'm not sure. most problems nautilus has had with SMB shares are because the default workgroup in smb.conf is "mshome" while XP Professional defaults to "workgroup" so nautilus doesn't see them. [19:18] pw-toxic: It just boots windows, with no option to boot ubuntu? [19:18] no [19:18] pw-toxic: did it install GRUB [19:18] After I type apt-cache showsrc xl2tpd I get: [19:18] ... [19:18] Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5), dpatch [19:18] danilebeau: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 Look there, it should help. [19:18] jgonick: how do i know it has installed grub [19:18] Chuckmoney: I am trying to run unison in Linux and copy files that i work on like gnucash to Windows part. [19:19] chiliblue: personally I have to use a wireless router in reverse to connect to my other systems which puts my desktop in a seperate subnet, hence I have to connect samba by IP address, but windows would have the same problem, so it's not an issue with ubuntu. [19:19] Ok I am partitioning my drive for dual boot with Windows. Does it matter what order I do the partitions? I was going to do: Ubuntu system, Windows system, linux swap, /home. DOes it matter? [19:19] So I assume i need build-essential, debhelper, dpatch ? [19:19] gavagai, the order doesn't matter [19:20] I'll have a look in smb.conf [19:20] many thanks sajuta! [19:20] javajeff: I understand what your problem is, but here's what I'm saying. the issue is not unison because unison doesn't understand the concept of filesystem permissions. it just checks timestamps and copies files around, that's it. [19:20] gavagai: it's best to have the windows parittion as the first partition, but your set up should work too as long as windows is on a primary partition [19:20] jgonick: what can i do to install grub? [19:20] gavagai, though i've always installed windows, left the ubuntu space blank, then installed ubuntu in the remainder [19:20] pw-toxic: Its been awhile since I installed but I thought it walked you through setting up the bootloader Grub. You can always boot with the live cd and see if it is installed. [19:20] geirha, ok thanks. i will just put windows first then. [19:20] javajeff: which means any permissions error is seperate from unison. if you're copying to a local NTFS drive the drive is probably mounted read only, and that's your problem [19:21] chuckmoney: if I use cp -r will that work sending all files one direction? [19:21] jgonick: how? [19:21] ConstantineXVI, ok you mean use the windows installer to create the first partition, leave the rest blank, and then let ubuntu handle the rest? [19:21] gavagai, right, that's how I always do it [19:21] javajeff: you can try it, but if the problem is with the NTFS partition being mounted read only, that will fail too [19:21] chuckmoney: If the drive was mounted read only, then I should not be able to manually copy to it. [19:21] ok maybe i'll do that. i was going to create them all first with gparted [19:21] any idea of why when X starts I only see white columns progressively more intense in a LCD screen? (8.04) [19:21] hi all [19:22] any trick to getting bind9 installed on ubuntu 8.10? [19:22] javajeff: indeed, so can you manually copy it or not? [19:22] no named.conf created [19:22] OK, following the assumption that i need build-essential, debhelper, dpatch how do i get those packages to the machine without web access ? [19:22] chuckmoney: doesn't look like smb.conf is the culprit it has workgroup as the defaut [19:22] noltha, you might have a short in your monitor's cord. sounds like a problem one of my clients had the other day [19:22] chuckmoney: I can copy files using Gnome cut and paste. [19:22] hey are there any commercial games made specifically for linux? [19:23] they sold q3a for linux...thats was a while back [19:23] danilebeau, all of id's stuff (doom, quake, rage) usually gets a linux binary close to day zero [19:23] pw-toxic: Boot from the disc you made and then you should be able to see all your drives and partitions. You could check to see if Ubuntu was installed. [19:23] although it was more expensive than the windows version [19:23] Hi everyone. One question please. I have dual boot system: linux and win xp. GRUB is in charge of booting each of os's. I would like to reinstall win xp, but I know that nt loader will override grub. What is the easiest way to put grub back on, for dual booting linux and windows, after I reinstall Windows xp? [19:23] chiliblue: no clue then. try mapping samba using the "connect to server" and using the server's IP address instead of its hostname [19:23] jgonick: ok ill try this [19:23] Codedrunk_Work you mean a physical problem on the connector or similar? [19:23] roblem with monitor settings - i am running my nec 22wv at max res 1680 x 1050 and the problem is that ubuntu dosn't alow me to change refresh rate > 51 hz.anyone knews why? [19:23] danilebeau, from id itself, that is [19:23] so if I'm setting the ip in /etc/network/interfaces, how do I specify the DNS servers? If I add them to /etc/resolv.conf, NM will overwrite them [19:24] tried that and nautilus does the same, I have a workaround using pyNeighorhood it works but isn't very elegant [19:24] javajeff: not sure then...if you run a "mount" command in console to list what's currently mounted, what the the options for your NTFS drive? [19:24] sorry ConstantineXVI you mean a physical problem on the connector or similar? [19:24] noltha, exactly [19:25] ConstantineXVI wow, but it works nice under windows O_o good resolution, screen rotation.. [19:26] Pe1o: I'm desperated. I try out now: 28 * * * * gedit [19:26] chuckmoney: I am able to use the cp command too. Mount: /dev/sda2 on /mnt/sda2 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) [19:26] /dev/sda2 on /mnt/sda2 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) [19:27] sorry group for the double paste. lag. [19:27] anyone? === DrunkY is now known as DRNK-E [19:28] I assume dpatch is some sort of patching utility ? How do i use it ? [19:28] Hi everyone. One question please. I have dual boot system: linux and win xp. GRUB is in charge of booting each of os's. I would like to reinstall win xp, but I know that nt loader will override grub. What is the easiest way to put grub back on, for dual booting linux and windows, after I reinstall Windows xp? [19:28] Marsjanin: try /usr/bin/gedit instead of just gedit itself. [19:28] if it's too much to explain, please direct me to some web page [19:28] javajeff: you might consider mounting it with a uid= or gid= being your user and group IDs (most likely the default for the first account on ubuntu, 1000) [19:29] my main concern is if I boot from CD, linux from my hard, I cannot mount devices so I can reinstall grub at mbr [19:29] hubar: but it works for non-X-window apps, like wget. [19:29] why is my apt-get returning Couldn't find package? [19:29] chuckmoney: I am going to try the other program. rsync. I googled the web, and others have this problem. [19:29] for whichever package i search for [19:29] zendo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [19:29] thanks for your help. === kane77 is now known as kane_f4 [19:30] javajeff: if that doesn't work...I don't know. but if you can copy files that's probably not it anyway. unison runs in userspace, so it should be subject to the exact same permissions for a local copy as cp or mv [19:30] jgonick: thanks man [19:30] chuckmoney: you were right about the avi issue, was the driver...having to use a non open driver now..but it does play [19:30] jgonick: no i have bootet live ubuntu and there is a 30,0 GB Medium with the following folders: bin boot dev etc home ... [19:31] jgonick: looks like this is the one i just have installed [19:31] I have a problem emptying my trash, some folders are still there [19:31] jgonick: but i cant boot it... [19:31] chuckmoney: that is why I am confused. I think the program should just worry about the files. [19:32] hello [19:32] jgonick: maybe these information could help you: i have 3 hard drives: 2*500GB @ raid1 with 4 partitions: 1) window xp 30gb 2) ubuntu 30gb and 30GB unpartitioned (for vista later) and rest files and 1* 1tb files [19:32] how can i define the terminal profile for a specific app like irssi ?? [19:32] Hi, I am on 8.10, and upgraded to kernel version 2.6.27-7 last night. Now I do not have any dns, and the network manager connection editor cannot change settings [19:32] i'm trying to get myself to stop using the mice; the main problem is that the stupid touchpad is too close to ignore; is there a way to pragmatically tell X to ignore / unignore the touchpad? [19:32] chiliblue: glad I could help [19:32] flickers though [19:33] How can I get motherboard model? [19:33] pw-toxic: in the boot folder there should be a grub folder [19:33] chuckmoney: you can help a little more, whats a nice open supported pci-e card for linux these days. NO idea why I got a ATI again [19:33] jgonick: yes you are right [19:33] javajeff: I am as confused as you at this point. You can certainly try rsync but running rsync for a local file copy is kinda of like running apache just to open a web page you have stored in your documents folder. i.e. running a network server just for local access. [19:33] hubar: tested now: simple command echo "text" > text.txt works OK in cron. The problem is only with displaying X-window apps. Running, not only displaying (if it's possible) - pgrep can't find them. [19:34] equiv: maybe deleting the trash-folder helps (rename it only for safety; if that works, you can also delete it) [19:34] somthing mid range [19:34] Marsjanin: sorry can not help you there. :( [19:34] No problem. [19:34] chuckmoney: I may just use command line commands for basic copying files. I was trying to automate it more syncing data [19:35] rsync is just as useful for local copies as for remote :) [19:35] thanks for good will, hubar. [19:35] pw-toxic: there should be a menu.1st file [19:35] chiliblue: no clue, but as a general rule any NVidia card newer than a GeForce 6200 isn't going to work well with the open source drivers. [19:35] does anyone maybe know how to turn off network manager and do everything manual? [19:35] javajeff, ever given dropbox a shot? [19:35] pw-toxic: menu.lst i mean [19:36] javajeff: try searching unison in synaptic. there is another tool that shows up there which may work. I haven't tried it but according to the summary it's much more capable than unison, albeit without a decent GUI yet. [19:36] no, I am looking for programs. I will look for it. Thanks! [19:36] hello! assistance needed. Intrepid amd64 user. I want to connect to the internet via my usb adsl modem sagem fast 800. Do I still need to isntall firmware and stuff? How do I configure teh new network manager thingy? [19:36] Zoem, have you tried removing network-manager? [19:36] Zoem, i believe NM gives you a fair amount of manual control, r-click, edit connections [19:36] how come I cannot delete a full directory with rmdir -r .unison ??? [19:37] where can I check for open bugs in an ubuntu driver? [19:37] javajeff: what's the error [19:37] hi all, just removed ubuntu from a computer, but am left with grub tht won't boot and can't get into the existing vista partition [19:37] Hello guys! I have an toshiba laptop with Ati Mobility Radeon 9000 do you know if i [19:37] don't have installation cds [19:37] javajeff: I usually just use -rf. the -f (or force) flag has magical powers when used with rm [19:37] sry [19:37] ConstantineXVI NM now has the nm-connection-editor as its connection editor, which throws an error whenever I try to edit a connection [19:37] is there anyone to fix it!?! [19:37] JonRob, ask for help on ##windows, how to restore the windows boot loader [19:37] JonRob: why would you remove ubuntu? [19:37] dietre I have been holding off an that since it seemed a bit drastic [19:37] JonRob, have a windows disk handy? [19:37] rmdir: invalid option -- 'r' [19:38] JonRob: Have You got the Vista CD/DVD? [19:38] no no cd/dvd [19:38] so whats the word on the new version. are there widespread reports of borked installations from upgrading? i usually try to wait about a week after its released [19:38] javajeff, it's rm, not rmdir [19:38] javajeff: rmdir only removes empty dirs. rm -r directory [19:38] if i reinstall ubuntu [19:38] it'll fix up grub [19:38] JonRob: sure [19:38] and then i can fix things properly!? [19:38] chuckmoney: do you use a 6200...they are pennies now...if it is going to be less hassle than this ATI I might get one [19:38] JonRob, your only shot is to get a windows disk, fire up the recovery console, and fixmbr, or reinstall ubuntu [19:38] Usually Windows should fix the MBR, when you boot (and do some commands) from the bootcd. [19:38] ConstantineXVI "Updating connection failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.82 - connection update not supported (read-only).." is the error it gives me [19:39] ok...just need to get my hands on an ubuntu disc again now [19:39] you know what, I did an rm -r first, but it gave me an error that it was a directory. It worked now though, thanks. [19:39] JonRob you could also use Gparted ? [19:39] Blah: to fix mbr? [19:39] what is the correct way to resize partitions with lvm? [19:39] either way i need to get a disc... [19:39] thanks for the advice, have to nip out now 'cos my other comp doesn't have a dvd drive [19:39] I have found a bug with the driver that supports the 8187 wifi chipset (realtek), where do I report it? Also, where is the source for this driver located, as I'd like to try to fix it (I'm a programmer) [19:39] JonRob: Try to edit the boot.lst file when you boot from CD Uubntu. [19:39] JonRob oh.. no. sry. for that you will need a win disk [19:40] chiliblue: I had a laptop with a 6200. The laptop fried, I replaced one too many HDDs and killed the SCSI bus, but the graphics card always worked fine. Only trouble is that something as low as a 6200 won't do dual monitors. But yeah, it works fine as long as you're not trying to play any advanced windows gamed, i.e. Crysis is a definate no-go. [19:40] thanks for the advice [19:40] so my computer cannot connect to local or password protected wireless networks, why [19:40] Slylias, if you know the package, "sudo apt-get source package" will fetch the source [19:40] I don't know the package. It's the driver for the 8187 realtek wifi chipset. [19:41] hey folks, I'm having problem with the default-language in kdm, I want it in spanish... but not working. even, I have put the system in es_AR [19:41] it is plug and play in ubuntu [19:41] Hello, I have ubuntu authenticating against an Open Directory (ldap) and Im getting the error about the not found home directory. The directory server is on a different box.. Can anyone help? [19:41] anyone can help on this issue ? [19:41] Slylias: rtl8187 [19:41] chuckmoney: the most advanced thin I am likely to play will be tuxracer :) I like fancy desktop effects...I just like to keep it all opensource [19:41] hello! assistance needed. Intrepid amd64 user. I want to connect to the internet via my usb adsl modem sagem fast 800. Do I still need to isntall firmware and stuff? How do I configure teh new network manager thingy? [19:41] thank you genii [19:41] chiliblue: A 6200 will do the advanced level of Compiz eye candy in GNOME without breaking a sweat, so for every day use it's plenty. Personally I couldn't be happy without dual monitors. [19:41] pw-toxic: does menu.lst mention your windows? [19:42] what is your memory usage on idle? [19:42] anyone know how i can install the ath5k drivers in ubuntu 8.04 [19:42] i need a way to control the fan speed of my dell laptop.. what can i use for that? [19:42] chuckmoney: no space for a 2nd display here so it won't be an issue for me [19:42] can someone tell me the ip's for opendns plz? [19:42] it's insanely hot [19:42] chiliblue: and Tuxracer runs great on my EEE with an Intel GMA945 so ot might as well be windows solitare. Yeah, a 6200 will do for you great. [19:43] Problem: E: Unable to find a source package for rtl8187 [19:43] GMA945 seems great for every day use [19:43] is there something i need to do to let my computer connect to local wireless networks? [19:43] it doesnt work [19:43] rockstar92: you have a wireless card right? [19:43] Slylias: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=rtl8187.ko&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy&arch=any shows the package it's in (Hardy but same on Intrepid) [19:43] well yeah lol [19:44] rockstar92: haha.. sry have to check [19:44] rockstar92, for me it worked out of the box, with wpa2 and so on [19:44] rockstar92, it shouldn't be necessary [19:44] I have the Atheros 242x wireless card and it cannot detect any wireless networks. Any advice? [19:44] it works fine on regualar wifi but local and passworded ones just loop over and over... [19:44] Why rtl8187.ko? What is the ko? [19:45] wehere can i find i8kutils? [19:45] where* [19:45] Twerk^: it is but on the advanced level of desktop effects it has some minor slowdown at times. A GMA945 is the least I would ever recommend for Compiz. A GMA945 is roughly the same as a GeForce 6050 Go in terms of what it can actually do. I would've got at least a GMA950 if one was available, but an EEE is a fairly standardized design and they don't offer minor upgrades like that. [19:45] it's gone in intrepid, as far as i can see? [19:46] Where can I find the ip numbers of a free and opensource dns server? [19:46] Does anyone have experience with ldap home directories? [19:46] what is the name of the package that contains the intel 3945 wireless module? i have been looking it all afternoon! [19:46] :;sigh:: [19:47] I can't connect to my wireless router. Any help? I have an Atheros 424x wireless card on my laptop. I'm on intrepid [19:47] hey can i use something like deamon tools under wine to play games in .exe format? [19:47] you must install the game using wine and you will be able to play the .exe using wine , no need for deamon tools [19:47] jim_p: not sure, maybe it's supported by madwifi. if not madwifi, you could try linux-modules-restricted or kernel-modules-restricted, whichever it is. [19:47] * Pe1o might have missunderstood but what the heck [19:47] chuckmoney: let me look [19:47] is there a tool to remove special chars from filenames in a directory? [19:48] Hi everyone - I get horizontal lines when viewing video - noticed the wsame with my friend who is also running hardy. Might be the nvidia drivers...not sure though [19:48] HomesickA, what player ? [19:48] All - VLC and totem [19:48] HomesickA, open synaptic , and install all the gstreamer0,10 files , see if it gets better [19:48] jim_p: if it's neither of those, I have no clue. I have one system with an atheros card and another with a ralink and my desktop links through a wired router, so I can't help you if it's not one of those. you could always use the windows driver via ndiswrapper, but beyond that, I'm all out. [19:49] chuckmoney: grsync works fine. I will just use it. Thanks for your help though. [19:49] Pe1o : thank you i will try that [19:49] what do u guys think of Intrepid? [19:49] t ein freak? [19:49] sry - autofocus O.o [19:50] javajeff: no problem. feel free to ask anything else. as my grandpa once told me, if nobody ever asked any questions we would still be painting cave walls. [19:50] does anyone knows a tool on ubuntu where i can make a video about my desktop and os? I mean i want to show my modified ubuntu to my firends [19:50] chuckmoney: i am sure i found it a week ago! and by myself. it was somewhere in synaptic :| [19:50] HomesickA, bit disapointing, several broken things that I would not have expected to be broken [19:50] jarco: krecordmydesktop in istanbul [19:50] *or [19:50] qpdb, a bash script? [19:50] salut tout le monde [19:50] chuckmoney: Thanks! I returned to linux after years away from it, so I am trying to relearn stuff. [19:51] bobdoss2: salut a toi [19:51] Pe1o : I was thinking of moving to Intrepid...hmmm what u say is leaving me with some doubt. Thought these things are rigorously tested? [19:51] ok jim_p [19:51] Pe1o: I still use Hardy but was thinking about upgrading.. would you or would you wait a little while? [19:51] jarco: he's right, but use intanbul if you have gnome or krecorddesktop if you have KDE. desktop recorders produce a lot of overhead when running and you don't want to have to load extra libs (for KDE or GNOME) if you don't have to while running them. [19:52] ok chuckmoney [19:52] HomesickA, so far i've found a bug with the murrine engine which makes it impossible for me to use certain themes, and the gspca driver for webcam won'T compile anymore, and isn'T included in the kernel either === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [19:53] i need a tool for controlling my fan in ubunbt [19:53] i want to run a command in the background, what modifiers/extra arguements do i need to do so?

Thats what usually happens right? [19:53] deadkode: on the end? [19:53] DEA7H: just append & on the end, like ./programname& [19:53] DEA7H, maybe also the "nohup" wrapper [19:53] Changing the screen brightness via the brightness applet does nothing [19:54] just like the goggles [19:54] I can't connect with my atheros 242x wireless card.

[20:16] dijital1: google it - ubuntu runlevel handling [20:16] Marsjanin: under security, uncheck 'deny tcp connections to the xserver' [20:16] dijital1: Thats becase they are /etc/rcX.d [20:16] kri: not likely [20:16] Slart: ubuntu doesnt know the software raid (i dont think i have an onboard raid controller ;) ) so he installed ubuntu on only one part of the raid1 ... so the operating system is unknown [20:16] Marsjanin: then restart your desktop.

I'm a noob as of 8.04 and hardly figured that out [20:30] hm ... it appears to be a mkisofs problem ... I tried mounting ym iso on a virtual machine, and I got the same behaviour. [20:30] okay, crap, i really have to go to a meeting. thank you for your help all i will be back [20:30] robacarp: linux-restricted-modules depends on the latest *generic* restricted modules available. Is there a reason you are using a server kernel? [20:30] Gnea: true, is there a romanian channel? ubuntu-ro? [20:30] Well, any ideas now, YeTr2? [20:30] robacarp: yes [20:30] !roman [20:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about roman [20:30] !ro [20:30] Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro [20:30] robacarp: yup :) [20:30] Hello. I have a problem that no one seems to be able to solve. I have a problem when rebooting or shutting down. When I do this the screen turns black with a blinking cursor and after a few minutes it prints "acpid exiting" and then continues the reboot or shutdown process. What can I do to solve this? This started happening when I switched to ubuntu 8.10 [20:31] is there anyone to answer [20:31] ? [20:31] hi [20:31] robacarp: either way, it looked french, came out as romanian, and is coming from italy [20:31] Jordan_U: well, the machine runs samba as a PDC [20:31] is there any way to install ubuntu over network ? [20:31] bek1, : no i dont think so.. ive been here all day and it seems like it's just a bunch of users asking questions and VERY few experienced users answering simple questions [20:31] Gnea: :-)...I copied it over to google translate to detect the romanian [20:31] bek1, what was the question? [20:31] rand0m what's your problem [20:31] gnea romanian french and italian have alot of similarities :) [20:31] ? [20:32] So these experts only answer the simple questions? [20:32] video driver problems with ATI RADEON XPRESS 200m series video card..... all sound and video is very very choppy and slow, and obv not working properly.... what do I do? I'm a noob as of 8.04 and hardly figured that out [20:32] YeTr2: ping? :] [20:32] awakebyjava: chuckmoney probably can help you better. I know with older cd-rom disabling dma helps. It will keep loosing the cd-rom unless you use ide=nodma on install. not exactly sure why, but I have had to do this on older computers. Live CD will always work, but will ahng and loose the cd on install. [20:32] firestarter seems to show a connection to my SSH-server, how can I know if he's in or just trying stupid things? [20:32] is there anyone to answer [20:32] rand0m: what driver are you using? [20:32] KXY: whats the problem? [20:32] I have a problem when rebooting or shutting down. When I do this the screen turns black with a blinking cursor and after a few minutes it prints "acpid exiting" and then continues the reboot or shutdown process. What can I do to solve this? This started happening when I switched to ubuntu 8.10 [20:32] WormDrink: I know there is because a few weeks ago I heard about a guy who set up a plug and play network interface, where you plug in your pc and reboot and then ubuntu installs. [20:32] j2daosh, not quite sure.. not even sure how to check [20:32] Cripps I have an ubuntu server 7.10 and I want to add a user with access+home only on the second disk not the first [20:32] KXY: you could remove acpid from /etc/rc*.d/ (several different folders, but mainly rc5.d) so it wouldn't load on boot, but if you have a laptop this will disable the power management features [20:33] if i suspect somone is in my system what process should i kill ? [20:33] j2daosh, robacarp: ah okay, well i'm just a dumb yank, thanks :) [20:33] robacarp: You don't need to use a server kernel to be a PDC, and if you are also using the computer as a desktop you probably want to go with the generic kernel [20:33] !netinstall [20:33] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [20:33] chuckmonkey is that a bad thing? [20:33] kri you can shutdown -h now [20:33] Don't no how to do it though, try searching in google for "plug and play", ubuntu etc [20:33] KXY, well you know that standby feature... it wont work anymore [20:33] ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' i get this when i do mysql sqldatabase < sqlfile.sql [20:34] No I use a desktop [20:34] chris1: -> #mysql [20:34] Jordan_U: well...not to be difficult, but I'd rather not reinstall just because I want to use it as a desktop in addition to the PDC [20:34] ight [20:34] __mork: i wonder if pulseaudio is getting in the way.... [20:34] KXY, well then i guess it doesn't matter then [20:34] Cripps any idea? [20:34] robacarp: You don't need to reinstall [20:34] Jordan_U: is there a way to un-flag the ubuntu kernel out of server mode? [20:34] But my PC will shutdown or restart like it did in 8.04 right? [20:34] bek1 you could create a new group for the user, and allow that group access to only the second disk (i.e. /dev/sdb if you're using scsi/sata) [20:35] KXY: only if you have a laptop. if you have a desktop then disabling acpid should be fine [20:35] some has an experience with anjuta i can`t why it says Program '/home/...' is not a local file [20:35] bek1, I need a few more minutes to think about exactly how to do that though. [20:35] robacarp: AFAIK you can just install linux-generic [20:35] Ok thanks for the solution you guys [20:35] Cripps the user wouldn't see the / [20:35] chris1: you need to loginto mysql.. try mysql -u root -p PASSWORD -d database < sqlfile.sql [20:35] ? [20:35] !mpd [20:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about mpd [20:35] KXY: it will shutdown the way it used to without the acpid "error" [20:35] I'll try it out in a few [20:35] !musicplayerdaemon [20:35] Nice [20:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:35] djhash- thank you! [20:35] n8tuser: haha very funny [20:35] !sonata [20:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about sonata [20:35] chris1, give username and password parameters to the mysql command [20:35] robacarp: Not sure if you need to do that to use restricted modules though [20:35] maybe the right question is where is the directory where the programs are local [20:36] !fishing | HorizonXP [20:36] HorizonXP: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [20:36] * KXY is away [20:36] <__mork> Gnea: is there no way to find what happens after pressing the key? [20:36] bek1: everyone who is not root might be able to see the / but not modify it.. depends on group access permissions [20:36] Jordan_U: me either. I can't decide if it makes sense to restrict the restricted modules to the generic kernel [20:36] guys, where i can find some cool gnome desktop themes ? [20:36] kri-> no, not at all, if you suspect, something is amiss, you can shut your system or disconnect the network physically [20:36] bek1, oh, so you're looking for a way to lock them into their own homedir ... check out google for "chroot" ... there are some really nifty tricks you can play with that. [20:36] hey, i'm trying to set up MPD, and I can get it to work. I ran the mpd --create-db command, which seemed to work. but when i run sonata, no files are listed. any help? [20:36] aaa [20:36] loller: depends on what application your looking for [20:36] Jordan_U: what is the difference between the generic and server kernels, do you know? [20:36] My joypad doesn't work with a brand new Intrepid installation. It used to work on Intrepid and Hardy on another installation. [20:37] The pad is able to move mouse [20:37] djhash I want to lock them on [20:37] __mork: try disabling pulseaudio and see if that has an effect [20:37] HorizonXP: You need to modify your /etc/mpd.conf file to point at the directory where your music resides. [20:37] How can I restore default Ubuntu's menu structure? [20:37] Cripps thanks mate [20:37] Maybe something is capturing the signal and doesn't let it through to games [20:37] <__mork> Gnea: should I kill it? [20:37] Any idea? [20:37] robacarp: I know that the 32 bit server kernel can address > 4 GIG RAM, not sure what else is different [20:37] Pici: i did that in ~/.mpdconf [20:37] bek1, don't thank me yet ... there's lots of info to sift through first ;) [20:37] cyberix-> look at your older xorg.conf and look for the entry of your joypad, then have same entry in the new 8.10 [20:37] HorizonXP: /var/log/mpd/mpd.log will tell you if there any errors when sonata connects to mpd and cannot find the music. [20:37] <__mork> Gnea: disregard my qstion [20:37] Pici: is it necessary to change it in the root config too? [20:37] bek1: define lock? denying read access to / will probably break the user.. cause then they wont be able to run applications.. [20:37] n8tuser: ok i killed some processes i will reboot and then install ippl... good or what? [20:38] __mork: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885437 <-- follow this guide, but don't install esound [20:38] Cripps don't worry I'll figure it out ;) [20:38] n8tuser: That might be tricky as I don't have an xorg.conf on the old system [20:38] HorizonXP: No, that should be enough. [20:38] kri-> what are you trying to protect? [20:38] robacarp: In intrepid there seems to be a linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-7-server package but no linux-restricted-modules-server [20:38] HorizonXP: Make sure that the user that is running the mpd service has rights to the directory that you are storing your music in. [20:38] cyberix-> well, hope you learned something, keeping an older working system around instead of just an outright upgrade [20:38] video driver problems with ATI RADEON XPRESS 200m series video card..... all sound and video is very very choppy and slow, and obv not working properly.... what do I do? I'm a noob as of 8.04 and hardly figured that out [20:39] djhash but I don't want to run apps [20:39] Pici: in my ~/.mpd folder, there's an mpd.db file that has all of the data for my music populated in it [20:39] n8tuser: i dont want some idiot messing with me [20:39] pici: so presumably, the mpd --create-db command worked [20:39] somone have controll and messing with my fan on my external drive [20:39] Jordan_U: how are you searching this? Can I look through the gutsy packages for a linux-restricted pack? [20:39] !ati | rand0m [20:39] rand0m: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:39] kri-> i already gave you advise, disconnect network physically [20:39] <__mork> Gnea: killing pulseaudio stops the audio, but the volume still increases by steps of 50% [20:39] rand0m: have you read that site? [20:39] djhash this user won't run apps [20:39] HorizonXP: Did you check that log file for errors? [20:39] robacarp: apt-cache search [20:40] Gnea, no i haven't yet, thank you [20:40] djhash, if the directories containing binaries were exported, then they could be mounted in ~/ ... that way the user would have access to apps, but they would still be locked into their homedir. [20:40] Pici: all it says is Avahi: Service 'Music Player' successfully establish [20:40] djhash: Cripps gave me an idea, I have also another one with quota. Thanks a lot. [20:40] mind you ... that almost defeats the purpose ;) [20:41] Pici: everytime i do /etc/init.d/mpd restart, it prints that in the log file [20:41] what is the name of default Network Manager in ubuntu 8.10 ? i need to install it [20:41] yea, there doesn't appear to be anything in there for server. `apt-cache search linux-restricted | grep server` gives no hits [20:41] n8tuser: I have it around, but it doesn't help. [20:41] #tagua [20:41] Oprtz-> same, maybe you can try wicd [20:41] <__mork> Gnea: the link you wrote seems not to have to do with pulseaudio (my issue neither) [20:41] n8tuser: Because it doesn't have xorg.conf [20:41] cyberix-> it will help if you can compare the older working xorg.conf and your newer one, see if any differences [20:42] __mork: are you sure you pasted the correct URL? [20:42] sometimes on my notebook display becomes black and neither mouse or keyboard work... anyone can help me? [20:42] n8tuser: It doesn't have xorg.conf [20:42] Hey folks [20:42] cyberix-> i has no X windows? or gui? [20:42] n8tuser: i installed wicd, and it works good for me, just want to know if i install default network manager, will it replace the wicd ? without damaging the internet ? [20:42] HOWTO: Fix all PulseAudio-related issues in 2 minutes <-- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885437 [20:42] n8tuser: It has. It just doesn't have the configuration file. [20:42] I've just started to try to use Ubuntu...I'm attempting to put Ubuntu on a separate hard disk away from my Windows Vista hard disk. [20:42] n8tuser: I guess xorg works without it these days [20:42] Oprtz-> i dont think you can damage the internet much :P but supposedly wicd is the up and coming one [20:43] Pici: no ideas eh? [20:43] When I initially installed it with the Grub loader, it wouldn't load either operating system [20:43] __mork: maybe there's another sound configuration in the system menus that can handle it... [20:43] cyberix-> nope, it always need that config file xorg.conf [20:43] Hi [20:43] n8tuser: ahh, i already have wind :) [20:43] I had to fix the Vista booter with the boot record repair thingy [20:43] Jordan_U: if I pull in the linux-generic kernel, is that going to update the system to the latest kernel or pull the kernel version that I am using, but without the kernel flag? [20:43] Oprtz-> then you are set...good to go [20:43] * Rusty0918 wonders how this works [20:44] Sorry, I'm new here [20:44] is there a way to mount image files like deamon tools in wine?= [20:44] <__mork> Gnea: i killed pulseaudio (i didn't uninstall it), but, without output of sound, the volume still increases/decreases by a step 50% [20:44] Hello! I'm setting up a new FTP server. I don't have any idea about what local_umask=022 does mean. Does anybody know? My OS is Ubuntu 8.04 [20:44] MexTux-> man mask [20:44] n8tuser: just curious to use 3g in the default network manaer, and wicd dont have 3g [20:44] I just installed a fresh copy of intrepid and immediately after running updates and nothing else I get the error system-tools-backends failed to start. First I got a crash report but now it just says an error has occurred. How can I fix this? [20:45] balle_: are you trying to mount an iso under linux? [20:45] MexTux oop there is none for mask nor umask..google for it instead [20:45] How do I turn off alsa permanently ? [20:45] Oprtz-> 3g? [20:45] n8tuser: .

I have installed ubuntu on my macbook but now I cant boot from it! [20:45] __mork: i'm wondering if the system needs to be restarted before it will take effect properly [20:45] cyberix-> in the new one? you got to have it to have an X windows [20:45] the installation went fine, i used the whole disk [20:45] Hello [20:46] mc__: What version of Ubuntu? [20:46] <__mork> Gnea: I think that pressing the hw button triggers a bios event catched by alsa-mixer gnome-mixer (if exists) and somewhere there should be a value (in gconf?) that says to the system how much should it increase the volume [20:46] n8tuser: In the old one [20:46] <__mork> Gnea: good point [20:46] n8tuser: It works perfectly [20:46] Jordan_U, 8.10 [20:46] __mork: i believe you are correct [20:46] Oprtz-> the network managers has nothing to do with a 3G its the driver using it does [20:46] I have a thinkpad R40, about 5-6 years old, with a broken screen and I want to use it for a computer in my bedroom. Because the screen is no use (and a bit small) I want to use it only with an external monitor. Does anyone know if you can make X11 use primarily the external screen? [20:46] mc__: Did you install with the LiveCD? [20:46] __mork: it could be ACPI [20:46] Jordan_U, yes [20:46] Help.. After installing a new motherboard I'm getting Busy Box on boot to the HD and with the live cd after choosing "Try Ubuntu without any.....".. any help would be appriciated [20:46] cyberix-> yeah in the old one you also have xorg.conf [20:46] __mork: what's the model of your hp again? [20:46] I'm usinv the latest Ubunto 8.10 [20:46] balle_: I think you have to do a bin2iso conversion on the cue/bin pair and get an iso out first, which can then me mounted to an empty folder [20:46] mc__: What happens when you try to boot Ubuntu?

[20:48] robacarp: it appears that CDemu does exactly what i want to do! [20:48] i need help. i just upgraded to 8.04 and i am trying to get java to work. anyone have any ideas [20:48] <_Zeus_> riddley: wait, what do you mean the panel?> [20:48] Jordan_U, there is no windows option at boot up [20:48] <_Zeus_> riddley: right click and say delete from panel? [20:48] n8tuser: thanks for the info [20:48] _Zeus_, it's in my notification area [20:48] mc__: Did you hold down the option key? [20:48] _Zeus_, and there is no right-click option [20:48] balle_: sweet! I'll keep that in mind [20:49] <_Zeus_> riddley: do you have something running? [20:49] bobbiem-> we have plenty of ideas, tell us what you did [20:49] How would one go about installing the linux drivers for the Realtek RTL8185L? [20:49] Gnea, : honestly, that guide is pretty much just confusing to me lol [20:49] hey, if I have run mpd --create-db correctly, then why would mpc stats show that I have no music? [20:49] _Zeus_, not intentionally... I just upgraded from 8.04 [20:49] "if this is this, do that.. if that's this, do this!" i just dont follow [20:49] Jordan_U, yeah [20:49] scunizi: d'oh, sorry didn't see that right away... tried booting with the splash off? [20:49] And not through ndiswrapper, Realtek has their own support for Linux, I just cant quite figure out how to compile it [20:49] <_Zeus_> riddley: okay. right clicking is no good? [20:49] Jordan_U, I can only boot from the cd [20:49] scunizi: or can you see the dmesg? [20:49] <_Zeus_> riddley: have you logged out and back in? [20:49] _Zeus_, if I click it, I get a preferences window, but none of the prefs are "make this stupid icon go away" :) [20:49] balle_: you can also try cdemu, it supports cue and mds among others [20:49] Pelo: You just talked about #cron channel, arent' You? Hmm, on what server?! [20:50] Gnea: no haven't tried with splash off. how do I do that.. ? [20:50] darkvertex: :) it is the one i'm checking out now [20:50] mc__: Do you see the Ubuntu partition in disk utility or from the Ubuntu LiveCD ? [20:50] Gnea: can't get to anyplace to see dmesg.. [20:50] GodfatherofEire: you can start by running lspci and checking for what the sound card reports itself as, then google that [20:50] _Zeus_, I removed something from the list of startup stuff in Session, but that list seems to get ignored entirely [20:50] Robacarp, its a wireless card [20:51] Not a sound card [20:51] scunizi: press F6 and backspace over "quiet splash" [20:51] I'm fucking bored === AJC_Z0- is now known as AJC_Z0 [20:51] sorry for the language [20:51] scunizi: ...that's when the cd boots up [20:51] Gnea: ah.. trying now with safe graphics mode. [20:51] n8tuser, i thought that maybe i with the upgrade it would help with java. i put in sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so [20:51] <_Zeus_> riddley: hmm [20:51] GodfatherofEire: lol...right. same deal, but swap sound for wifi. freudian slip [20:52] later [20:52] Gnea: now trying with splash off [20:52] No problem, but Robacarp, I have the drivers, but I just dont know exactly how to set it up, because I have to configure it, its not in a .deb file [20:52] Is there a way to make the "Not connected? Printer 'printer' may not be connected" popup go away? It just won't stop... [20:52] n8tuser, it told me that the file exists, but now what? [20:53] Gnea: looks more encouraging.. [20:53] GodfatherofEire: I see. what form are th drivers in? is there a file called "configure"? [20:53] Gnea: I spoke too soon.. busy box again [20:53] scunizi: do the kernel messages say anything about any errors? [20:53] __mork: i'm really baffled [20:54] is there a guide for installing vmware 5.x tools on ubuntu 8.10 guest ? [20:54] wow...I go send 2 emails and now I can't find my last message...spooky. anyhow, I'm back for a few minutes [20:54] Robacarp: nope. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/68988/ [20:55] Gnea: yes on ata4 "failed to identify (i/o error, err_mask=0x44)... but things are actually still rolling.. [20:55] GodfatherofEire: whats in the readme? [20:55] scunizi: what's plugged into ata4? [20:55] <__mork> Gnea: found something interesting here: /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/media-keys [20:55] <__mork> Gnea: in gconf-editor [20:56] Pici: I had to modify it in /etc/mpd.conf. No idea why that's required, but it works [20:56] Gnea: also sda:<4> Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods [20:56] mc__: Do you see the Ubuntu partition in disk utility or from the Ubuntu LiveCD ? [20:56] scunizi: sr is of no consequence [20:56] HorizonXP: Weird, the manpage said it would look in your home first. [20:56] is there a guide for installing vmware 5.x tools on ubuntu 8.10 guest ? [20:56] Jordan_U, yes it does see it [20:57] Pici: yeah, i'd prefer to set it up that way [20:57] let me keep hunting [20:57] DB24: not that I'm aware of. I think the only way to do that is to compile them from source on the guest [20:57] Robacarp: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/68992/ [20:57] k [20:57] chuckmoney: any guides for that/ [20:58] Hey guys, I've installed ubuntu 8.10 on my pendrive, using it as hd, but grub does'nt seem to work, it goes right to a Minimal BASH-like blablabla and it's not showing the menu, someone knows what I'm doing wrong? [20:58] Gnea: now it just seems stuck after "sd 6:0:1:0 Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0 [20:58] bobbiem-> your symlink command does not have a destination [20:58] GodfatherofEire: did you read the section on "Installation"? at line 33 [20:58] loco: the blah blah blah part would be helpful [20:58] DB24: not really. I immagine it consists of getting the source package for generic *NIX vmware tools (they come with vmware workstation for linux) and then just ./configure, make, sudo make install. [20:58] bobbiem-> re-read the tutorial that you read that from [20:58] scunizi: could be a bad dvd or hard drive cable [20:59] Gnea: new on both. [20:59] scunizi: could still be bad. [20:59] robacarp: Yes, I did, but exactly where should the original archive extract to so that it can install properly? [20:59] Like, what dir? [20:59] hi all...I have a question about ubuntu server [20:59] is this the correct forum room? [20:59] Jordan_U, do you think it was a mistake that I created a new partition table? [20:59] fallore it's like this: [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename. ] and there is a grub> and the prompt [20:59] mc__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook suggests making sure grub is set to install to /dev/sda [20:59] <__mork> another question: how to learn about the new quit button??? [20:59] Gnea: yea.. I've got others to try.. if that's not it what's next? [20:59] neuton: Yes it is. [21:00] chuckmonkey that solution you gave me changed only one thing. "acpid exiting" doesn't get printed anymore but my PC still hangs for like 2 min or so. lol [21:00] <__mork> i mean in the panel of gnome shipped with 8.10 [21:00] DB24: it should be a standard install from source deal. the only difference is maybe it will require that you skip ./configure - typically vmware just distributes their .o files instead of the actual .c source code so it is still distro-dependant but this way they don't show you their actual source. [21:00] Hi, how can I find which resources are used by a kernel module (or vice versa)? [21:00] Hey, I'm trying to get sound to work after resume on my Aspire one, as in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne#AUDIO . but it isn't working [21:00] they said, if we use ubuntu on laptop, it will make ours hot.. is it true? [21:00] ok I setup a server for my use and followed this guide for torrentflux-b4rt http://empireofmine.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-to-setup-web-based-bittorrent.html [21:00] GodfatherofEire: It shouldn't matter. if you extract the original archive to your ~ then from inside that dir just run ./makedrv to build it [21:00] How do I stop pulseaudio being launched by my user? I have it set up to start with the system at the moment because I use MPD and I don't want my music to stop when I restart X... [21:00] sudo m-a a-i alsa doesn't work, it says building of alsa failed [21:01] hello? [21:01] Skrot--> some modules are loaded as needed, what exactly are you looking for? [21:01] The problem is that then I end up with 2 instances, one of which has no sound device access [21:01] GodfatherofEire: when that finishes, it looks like you can then do ./wlan0up to load the driver into the kernel [21:01] unitedpotsmokers: no. Ubuntu with improper CPU fan control won't make your computer any hotter than Windows with improper CPU fan control. [21:01] however I can't find where apt-get installed transmission-cli? I followed the guide but its not where the guide says [21:01] <__mork> Gnea: for the volume question: I found http://gnome-settings-daemon.sourcearchive.com/documentation/2.22.2.1/gsd-media-keys-manager_8c-source.html that there is a comment about volume step (line 60) [21:01] Did that, robacarp, but when I go to use wlan0up, it says theres no file [21:01] __mork: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/233 [21:01] thanks chuckmoney ... but [21:01] n8tuser: nfsd is in use even though nfs-kernel-server is stopped, and ps aux | grep -i nfs reveals nothing. [21:01] this is stupid, I can't get sound to work. [21:02] so how can I find where the file was installed to in the command prompt of server? [21:02] robacarp: Under the ieee80211 folder, says some are missing [21:02] Skrot--> how did you determine nfsd is in use? [21:02] n8tuser: sudo rmmod nfsd [21:02] unitedpotsmokers: If it gets hot under ubuntu and not under windows, it means you have an error with acpid. Errors with acpid are exceptionally rare since ACPI is pretty universal now, basically, yes, it might overheat, but if it overheats under Ubuntu it is just as likely to do so with windows. It's not an OS-related problem. [21:03] Skrot--> a module loaded does not use much memory [21:03] lest it is running [21:03] n8tuser: The problem is I need to reload the module and I don't want to reboot the server. [21:03] Can anyone tell me the name of a good Tetris type game for ubuntu [21:03] neuton, perhaps: dpkg-query -S transmission-cli [21:03] ACPID is a pain in the ass [21:03] chuckmoney, : can u explain to me why, when i open system log viewer, i got this alert " unable to turn cooling system device 'on' " im using intrepid ibex.. pls help [21:03] hellooo. MAH SOUND DUN WORK. when I try to rebuild alsa with sudo m-a a-i alsa, it says it failed. [21:03] n8tuser: So I want to remove the module and load it again, thus I need to kill whatever uses it :) [21:03] ok ;et me try that ty [21:03] neuton, no, better would be: dpkg-query -L transmission-cli [21:03] Skrot--> kernel modules are finicky, sometimes you can not just unload it and reload [21:04] GodfatherofEire: what files does it say are missing? have you tried running it as sudo? [21:04] burkesbythebay: Ubuntu comes with gnometris [21:04] Skrot--> so your recourse is only to reboot [21:04] n8tuser: well, any way to find the processes that are using it? [21:04] <__mork> can someone interpret for me line 694 here http://gnome-settings-daemon.sourcearchive.com/documentation/2.22.2.1/gsd-media-keys-manager_8c-source.html ? it seems that I can write some key in gconf-editor... [21:04] KXY: yes, it is, when it fails. Problem is your issue is one in a million - it usually works. I have run Ubuntu on 11 computers (mostly laptops) from 7 manufacturers and acpid is just about the only system service that hasn't ever failed for me. [21:04] hmm its only showing me that it put transmission in /usr/share/doc? [21:04] <__mork> Jordan_U: thanks [21:04] Skrot if it was not showing on ps -aux then not sure how [21:04] __mork: np [21:04] n8tuser: no go (for now), the server is remote and uses a encryption password at boot :-) [21:04] I hate to repete myself, but nobody has told me to stfu yet. [21:04] yeah ACPI... but i dont know whats acpi actually... how to fix this problem.. [21:04] chuckmonkey: Lucky you :p [21:04] ok that did it [21:04] * Jatz sound doesn't work, m-a says alsa failed to build [21:05] Hi, I can't get my sound working on my laptop, does anybody know what shell I do? [21:05] anyone run torrentflux on unbuntu server i need sum helpz.. [21:05] chris1: I do [21:05] so its in the right place like the guide said, but in the torrentflux setup it still shows a red dot like it can't find it? [21:05] pls reply when u ready [21:05] Skrot--> well its tuff, you dont have a secretary at remote to just press buttons? :P [21:05] unitedpotsmokers: sounds like it can't figure out which /dev/* device is your CPU or case fan. I'd double-check and be sure it's not a hardware problem if you have a desktop. Sometimes the fan plug to the motherboard is easy to knock out by mistake when you upgrade RAM, etc. [21:05] lol I am also asking for help on the same thing chris1 [21:06] robacarp: here's the feedback from the terminal http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/69002/ [21:06] __mork: nice. [21:06] n8tuser: hehe, no ;) [21:06] neuton, chris1, I dp [21:06] Gnea: can you plug an older (ie slower) sata drive into the newer faster sata connector? [21:06] *do [21:06] can anyone even frakking hear me? I'm ident'd [21:06] hi i have installed ubuntustudio-desktop how do i go back or switch between the desktops? [21:06] !repeat | Jatz [21:06] Jatz: 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 [21:06] Skrot--> you can remove the grub password and then reboot, then put it back if it rebooted okay? [21:06] <__mork> Gnea: nice, but... still stuck here [21:06] Jatz I followed that guide I posted here http://empireofmine.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-to-setup-web-based-bittorrent.html....however the dot is still red for transmission [21:06] !patience | Jatz [21:06] Jatz: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [21:06] unitedpotsmokers: if the issue isn't hardware (if you have a laptop it probably isn't) then there's two options. either it can't identify the fan device, or more than likely, it's a false alarm. [21:06] Hello all [21:06] scunizi: yeah - not sure how well it works with a newer cord tho [21:06] I'm new to this [21:07] n8tuser: *encryption*, not grub. / won't be mounted without it :) [21:07] __mork: oh - i misunderstood [21:07] ubottu: I'm well awell that people are volunteers. [21:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:07] Skrot--> ahh okay, yeah thats a tuff one [21:07] indeed [21:07] Gnea: I'll check the bios settings to see if there's a way to make any changes to it. [21:07] I'm wondering if I should try 64-bit Ubuntu or 32-bit. I had problems with openSUSE 64-bit. no Java WebStart. any opinions? [21:07] unitedpotsmokers: An ASUS EEE 701, for example, will not report the fan speed to Ubuntu without a custom driver that's also used to speed up or slow down the processor [21:07] I want to set up a webserver. I want to access the http doc folder via ftp. i use vsftp [21:07] It's just nobody's aknowledged my existence till now [21:07] Anyone know a terminal script to convert a .cue/.bin image files to .iso? [21:07] unitedpotsmokers: so if you feel air comming out of the fan vent at all, it's working, and system monitor just can't read it [21:08] what is the best way to go about doing this [21:08] ? [21:08] shadewin1, choose 32 bit until you need more than 4 gb of ram [21:08] Skrot--> umm doesnt modprobe have a unload and replace option? i cant recall [21:08] Or something to mount the image. [21:08] what was your question Jatz? I'm no expert but I'm curious [21:08] GodfatherofEire: okay. I think you need to run the wlan0up script from the directory where the ieee80211 folder is. eg, cd into the unpacked archive and run the script as ./wlan0up instead of putting the whole path in [21:08] how do i change what xorg driver I am using ? [21:08] Jatz: be patient.. ask your question and wait.. if no one knows the answer no one will answer.. [21:08] So9? [21:08] Any takers? [21:08] Zikiti: any decent ftp server should work - proftpd or vsftpd [21:08] shadewin1, smaller binaries, smaller code, better cache hit ratio, ... [21:08] dietre: great, I'll do that. thanks. [21:08] GodfatherofEire: if that doesn't work, and the files exist in that directory (did you check?), then the script is probably just broken. [21:09] shadewin1, i am not expert at it, but that are the arguments i know [21:09] n8tuser: no [21:09] KXY: I'm trying to get sound to work after resume on my aspire one, as in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne#AUDIO [21:09] but when I try to build alsa, it fails [21:09] understood but do I create another user to ftp into taht folder? [21:09] Skrot like modprobe -r ? [21:09] How do I turn off alsa permanently ? [21:09] Is there an ideal way to set up a remote webserver? [21:09] hi, I'm trying to get ubuntu set up on my macbook pro. It's having trouble connecting to a wep-protected network...I've installed Wicd which I hoped would help, but it's not working. It seems to get through the auth fine, tries to obtain an ip address and can't, and then is not connected. any ideas? [21:09] help me [21:09] Robacarp, same message, and I checked the folder, should I check the sub-archives? [21:09] Jatz: it sounds like you're either missing a library or don't have build-essential from apt installed [21:09] Hmm Jatz that does sound like a difficult one [21:09] hello [21:10] hello [21:10] ardchoille: Not a good idea to do that. Why do you want to? [21:10] im not sure how i should install the firmware for my wireless card (b43) [21:10] chuckmoney: m-a installs build-essentially [21:10] i am on Ibex [21:10] what should i do? [21:10] i wish to contribute to ubuntu development [21:10] Sajuta: Well rebooting/shutting down causes the machine to hang at "shutting down alsa" and I don't need sound.

[21:11] Jatz: do you get any errors other than it just failed to build? [21:11] pythoneles: better question it in #linux or #bash [21:12] BleSS, alright [21:12] djhash: I can view the log build file [21:12] Jatz: well...no idea then. I imagine if it requires another library to build it would tell you. Many of the ubuntu docs run on the theory that you know you have to have build-essential so I was just checking. [21:12] I am doing to dual boot. First i'm going to do a fresh windows install. Right now i am partitioning my drive. The first partition is fat 16, 78 megs. can i delete this or do i need to keep it? this must be the mbr for windows i guess [21:12] GodfatherofEire: no. the script isn't looking for any archives. I'd re-run the makedrv script (again from the local directory: ./makedrv) and make sure that it is exiting successfully and generates no errors. You might have had a corrupt archive initially [21:12] Jatz: that would be a good place to start.. and if you can.. pastebin the log [21:12] __mork: the sad part is, i don't see a volume_step in mine :/ but they have a lot of other things up there [21:12] anyone? what if i have ubuntustudio-desktop and xubuntu-desktop how do i switch between them?

I looked in the logs, and it says that the nvidia kernel module fails to load. I have tried both the 177 and 173 drivers, installed the normal way and through envy ng.

My laptop running Ubuntu 8.10 keeps experiencing what I suspect to be a kernel panic; everything freezes up and the caps/scroll lock lights start blinking. Does anybody have any ideas? [22:35] i want to mute the speakers when i plug in the headphones [22:35] russ: there is a package that something like nvidia-settings, han gon a second I'll look it up [22:35] flannel what do id do [22:35] i think that the easiest way is to turn off laptom speakers via sound control center [22:35] russ: nvidia-settings is the name [22:35] geeksquad: use that instead. I believe everything has been moved there. [22:35] ghindo: Is there a particular event which causes it? is it during boot, or normal usage? [22:35] russ install it and use it (with root I think) [22:36] fisk0 will try [22:36] well its avery small file [22:36] russ: also you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig [22:36] hentay: when i turn off the laptop speakers the sound mutes from both [22:36] Stormx2: Just normal usage. I can't pin it to a certain application, either [22:36] pantcho: note that it didn't work for me, but my entire system is acting strange, might be moer than just the drivers breaking down on my system [22:36] Serafeim: have you tried option: headphones? [22:36] ghindo: Mad. It's not something I've had to deal with, I guess there must be some sort of system log [22:37] geeksquad: so was the old bash_profile, it sources .bashrc and optionally sets your path to include ~/bin, right? [22:37] eraggo: yeah [22:37] :/ [22:37] judging by the names of the programs it looks like it's supposed to fix xorg acting strange [22:37] ay^: I have that installed, only prob is that this is my first experience with linux [22:37] geeksquad: What are you trying to do? [22:37] russ: it's okay. But ou need to use that app [22:37] Stormx2: I browsed through the system log a bit, but couldn't find anything conclusive. Thanks for the help, anyway [22:37] I'll try another reboot now [22:37] I'm going crazy here. === guest9681 is now known as ping2 [22:37] why? :D [22:38] without bash profile does bashrc run [22:38] eraggo: No one will answer my question. D: [22:38] and it was...? [22:38] ay^: so I just go to command line and type "sudo nvidia-xconfig" ? [22:38] is there any way to see if my network card is connected at 10mbps or 100mbps? [22:38] ok basically i have a logitech 5.1 system and i have an HD soundcard witch supports 5.1 but it only has 3 output sockets and i cannot get mythtv using 5.1 any one able to help [22:38] partymetroid: What was your question? [22:38] russ: yes and then "sudo nvidia-settings" [22:38] eraggo: My question was, "Why does Ubiquity hang on the partitioner at 12%?" [22:38] there's no solution?? :( [22:38] geeksquad: for non-interactive shells .bashrc will be sourced, for interactive shells, .bash_profile will be sourced [22:39] csilk: how many resources do you have to further debug? I recommend you either walk through the debootstrap sequence by hand to narrow the culprit in debootstrap, or attempt to reproduce it from a live/desktop environment [22:39] psicobra, does the sound system have a digital or optical input? [22:39] what [22:39] o.O [22:39] geeksquad: see the comments at the tops of those files, bashrc runs on non-interactive shells, profile runs on interactive shells (and profile sources rc) [22:39] Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Windows Media RTP depayloader|decoder-application/x-rtp, what packages do i miss? [22:39] csilk: otherwise, if you lack resources, it may be in your best interest to just blow it away [22:39] crimsun it didnt work [22:39] my system has 1 optical input and 3 anoloug ones but my sound card only has anologue [22:39] partymetroid: I thought ubiquity was a firefox extension? o.o [22:39] sidney: what's the output from `asoundconf list'? [22:39] Stormx2: no, its the GUI installer [22:39] geeksquad's are effing n0bs [22:39] so will rc run without bash profile just say tes or no [22:40] Flannel: Ah, okay. [22:40] geeksquad: For non-interactive shells [22:40] pLr: Please watch your language, and follow the code of conduct [22:40] is bash non-interactive? [22:40] what was the command again [22:40] Flannel: sry [22:40] crimsun, I'm in the process of getting an intrepid VM up and running. My plan was to move my packaging work away from my laptop and onto my dualscreen desktop, so far not looking good [22:40] geeksquad: no, a terminal is interactive. [22:40] psicobra, might need to upgrade your sound card, sounds like you need one with an optical out [22:40] sidney: asoundconf list [22:40] ay^: I'm actually using that program now, but I still don't know how to config it for dual monitors [22:40] Stormx2: Ubiquity is the Ubuntu installation program. :/ [22:40] psicobra, what sound card do you have? [22:40] partymetroid: Yeah. Flannel already said. [22:41] Oh, okay. [22:41] ping2, i was thinking that any suggestions on a cheap card that is linux compatible that has optical out [22:41] russ: Its pretty straight forward if you know what stuff means, and sadly I'm on my laptop now with a intel gfx, but my desktop has nvidia and dual monitors [22:41] Audigy [22:41] Anyone know why nautilus might be spinning on one of my cpus? [22:41] V8235 [22:41] geeksquad: an example of non-interactive bash is ssh host command here, interactive is ssh host; wait for shell; command here [22:41] ping2, it is an onboard card some HD audio crap [22:41] crimsun, I have a suspicion this has something to do with an update from the last couple of update cycles, if this is true I can't imagine many peopeol would of spotted it, how many people have setup a pbuilt intrepid environment in the last 7 days.. not many I should guess [22:41] Flannel my question is: does bashrc run on startup without bash_profile i am using bash just say yes or no [22:41] geeksquad: if you run a script with bash, it runs non-interactive. [22:41] sidney: ok, now, please pastebin the output from `amixer -c0' [22:41] ay^: I need twin view correct? [22:41] sidney: there will be a lot of output [22:42] psicobra, search around a bit, i have a sb live! with digital coax that works nicely, make sure you get one with digital optical out [22:42] fisk0:it worked! [22:42] good luck bbl [22:42] sidney: alternately, please download http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh and run it using bash [22:42] russ: I don't really remember but either twin view or separate screens suits you best [22:42] i have coaxial in aswell [22:42] flannel se my last post and say yes or no not annything else [22:42] on surround system [22:42] with separate screens you can check a check-box that says something like "xcinerama" [22:42] that's alot of info === graingert_ is now known as graingert [22:43] should i paste it here [22:43] which then would allow you to have different stuff on each screen, but still be able to drag and drop between them [22:43] geeksquad: What are you wondering about? You're being rather obtuse in the manner in which you're asking questions. [22:43] como bootear con puppy en windows 95 [22:43] geeksquad: the answer is often it depends, bashrc is made for commands run when a user logs in, if you want it when the computer starts up use /etc/rc(runlevel) [22:43] .d [22:43] say somthing a 9 yr old can understand [22:43] what does it mean when at the top of my xchat window it says #ubuntu-unregged ???? [22:43] LjL : I tried a reboot, didn't work. [22:44] maxxist: you're not registered with nickserv on freenode [22:44] maxxist: I think it means you haven't regged your nickname [22:44] geeksquad: Ask your actual question. What are you doing that you want to know if bashrc is going to be accessed or not? [22:44] plr bashrc runs without bash_profile when i log in [22:44] maxxist: at least you weren't registered at the point of joining the channel [22:44] i registered my nick with nickserv because I was so happy with it and I don't want to lose my identity on freenode [22:44] brb [22:44] I don't care about efnet.

[22:45] geeksquad: not with bash_profile, but with .profile, yes. [22:45] ping2, what is exact model of your card please [22:45] geeksquad: put an "echo blah" at the bottom of your .bashrc and see if it shows "blah" when you log in [22:45] geeksquad: ubuntu uses .profile [22:45] good so .profile runs on startup too [22:45] geeksquad: .profile and .bash_profile are equivalent for the purposes of this conversation, yes. [22:46] is there a way to use apt or aptitude to remove a package, and then if as a result, any packages are unneeded, they will be removed as well? (aptitude --purge-unused is much too overzealous) [22:46] geeksquad: everything has a purpose you cant put scripts there unless they should be executed when a user launches a shell [22:46] Ademan: yes sudo apt-get remove packagename [22:46] nope nickserv says i am identified. still says it at the top [22:46] geeksquad: tell us what you want to do and it will be easier for you [22:46] hi [22:46] maxxist: Its a property of the channel. [22:46] Ademan: apt-get and aptitude usually do so when you use the "remove" command [22:46] geeksquad: listen to Flannel [22:47] I am having problems with ubuntu 8.04 LTS [22:47] Flannel do i need to also register in the channel? [22:47] i will be grateful if anyone could help me [22:47] Ademan: Try apt-get autoremove, but --simulate it first, to double check. Also, try deborphan (but autoremove is supposed to replace deborphan) [22:47] joljam: ask your question, do not ask to ask [22:47] maxxist: No. the ubuntu-unregged thing is a property of the channel, the channel has #ubuntu-unregged associated with it. Nothing you do will change it [22:48] thanks everyone [22:48] once I am online after some time my ubuntu 8/04 freezes on me [22:48] is there any solution available with some one [22:48] Flannel ok i thought it had something to do with registering.. thanx [22:49] joljam: try using ctrl+alt+backspace to restart your x session, if that works you need to reconfigure your x server [22:49] joljam: if that does not work you must troubleshoot in text mode [22:49] hey I have an IP address, how do I look up the local dns name ?

[23:14] how can I install the alternative ubuntu version from usbstick (it keeps asking for cd cd-rom drive) [23:14] how do i tell synaptic (apt) to look/install from /media/disk which is a intrepid 8.10 image?

[23:15] phanter: so i guess its Courier [23:15] crimsun, I'll look into that [23:15] thanks for the help [23:15] AgentHeX: what exactly is it? A backports driver update? [23:15] it's old drivers. [23:16] AgentHeX: hmm, I think I need new drivers. [23:16] Hentay: you can also try lsof | grep "/var/lib/apt/lists/lock" [23:16] codro, look in admin -> software sources [23:16] yeah... linux sux, but use windows and u will be fucked in the asshole [23:16] !language [23:16] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:16] i used to run 7.10, and it didn't natively detect my audio hardware. it was an intel HD audio chip (sigmatel something or other), and since 8.04, it's been detected natively [23:16] AgentHeX: my sound setup is a mess, It is Conexant Hermosa, using Azalia drivers [23:16] I've got a Logitech MX518 USB mouse, I had 7 of the 8 buttons working in Hardy, using the mouse driver and ExplorerPS/2 protocol. I'm looking for the best way to get it fully working in Intrepid. Is evdev the way to go (heard it handles more than 7 buttons). I'm using the mouse driver and the ImPS/2 protocol atm. [23:16] codro, gnome-terminal smth wrong :/ [23:16] !language | Hentay [23:16] Hentay: please see above [23:16] ping2: yes I know where to look, but I don't know where to point it [23:16] hmm, i have never seen that server type... [23:17] i tried doing deb /media/disk intrepid main [23:17] that failed miserably [23:17] shane2peru: hmmm... not too familiar with specific cards, so i'm not that much help. you can try backports and see if it works. if not, just uninstall [23:17] phanter: is there any way to exclude everything except the users ip from ps aux ? true egrep ore so? [23:17] maybe that i have used update manager and after that i havent restart my terminal? [23:17] phanter: so i can 'sudo ip r add blackhole IP' [23:18] anyone have any other ideas on setting up sound cards? [23:18] i know theres a way to but now the exact command. [23:18] hentay just try rebooting :) [23:18] codro, is anything listed under "installable from cd/dvd" in the ubuntu software tab? [23:18] !sound [23:18] 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).

[23:19] Hentay: you need to setup sshd [23:19] hi [23:19] sshd program ya? [23:19] man sshd [23:19] newton: well, never done that... I guess you need somebody who is more familier with your services [23:20] no manual entry for sshd :D [23:20] install the man pages :P [23:20] it rock's me :D [23:20] phanter: i'm searching for a regex to exclude a kinda [23:20] anyways this is really annoying, why is it so hard to get synaptic to recognize removable media as a upgrade/package source [23:21] codro: because the source isn't set up in the form of a repository? [23:21] Some programs don't work well with my monitor ... I get small lines on the screen (one of the progams is movie editor) [23:21] zsquareplusc, hehe. So, if I add one, it will get ignored? If so, that would be a seriously crippling..

[23:22] codro, oh ok, not sure then, cdrom entries look like "deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release amd64 (20080423)]/ hardy main restricted" in sources.list [23:22] how can i see which files are creates by a package ? [23:22] hmm, anyone who ever managed to install ubuntu alternate from usb stick? [23:22] phanter: i installed xubuntu desktop from sd slot [23:23] phanter: i did. i used usb-creator to make the image [23:23] codro: if you just copy them to the proper location from off the cd it will save you some figuring [23:23] I used UNetBootin [23:23] teratoma: it was the alternate ubuntu version? [23:23] I'm doing a university assignment, did anyone here breast feed their children? [23:23] codro, you where either desperate or incredibly bored hehe [23:23] codro, you could also put an a cd image file on the flash drive and mount it as a cd [23:23] and it did not ask for the cd=-rom drive at all ? [23:23] phanter: yes. i wanted to get wacky with encrypted LVM, so i used alternative ubuntu version [23:23] i don't ahve a cdrom drive [23:23] this is a eeepc [23:23] how can i see which files are creates by a package ? [23:23] great :) [23:24] codro the location you want to put them in is: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [23:24] codro, a .iso cd image file can be mounted to appear as a cd [23:24] ping2: i don't have the iso on the computer, i have an sd card that is a bootable extracted iso [23:25] codro: with the normal cd, i had to copy the hidden folders too, so that it identified the sd card as source drive for the install. not sure if the alternate cd works the same way though [23:25] codro, sshd apt-cache doesn;t find :) [23:25] it finds openssh-server [23:25] zsquareplusc, well, the events are getting through so technically it's "working", but Nautilus and VLC don't recognize the back/forward buttons. Also, there's a button on top of it which I'm not sure what it should do (someone mentioned "back to top"), but it's never worked in Ubuntu. It registers as key 10. [23:25] it is rshd replacement [23:25] Hentay: apt-cache search sshd [23:26] are there any problems to be expected from installing ubuntu over Vista? [23:26] Hello [23:26] I am hosting a php torrent tracker on my laptop [23:26] ardchoille, i know, i said that it doesn't find it for me [23:26] If nothing else works, I was going to try evdev and remapping button 6/7 to Alt+Left/Alt+Right. But I don't think I needed that in Hardy. [23:26] But I can't make downloads between it and the vista box, it is a private tracerk. [23:26] TwoD: i have the buttons remapped with xmodmap. but thy worked out of the box. [23:26] Hentay: apt-cache search sshd >-- returns nothing? [23:26] Dominik1: dual-boot or wubi? [23:26] dual-boot [23:26] can someone tell me the format to change my clock to regular 12 hour time instead of military time? Hardy Heron [23:27] Dominik1: yes [23:27] kde [23:27] Dominik1: your computer will run faster. [23:27] well the big problem is network-manager is not part of the pool on the iso image [23:27] Hentay: look for ssh-server [23:27] Dominik1: you should be good [23:27] ardchoille, it finds: libjsch-java - java secure channel [23:27] libjsch-java-doc - java secure channel examples [23:27] openssh-server - secure shell server, an rshd replacement [23:27] zsquareplusc, did they actually do anything other than sending button events? They do work as back/forward in Firefox, but nowhere else. [23:27] Dominik1: you won't open to virus attacks. [23:27] can someone say my name so that I can see if im colored? [23:27] shane2peru: not benifits they are obvious, but will I have problems with boot order and such [23:27] Hentay: ah, ok [23:27] I do not want to disable vista [23:27] YAY! TESTDISK FOR THE WIN! [23:27] !hi | shane2peru [23:27] shane2peru: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:28] olskolirc should be able to right click on the clock and go ito properties... [23:28] !dualboot > Dominik1 [23:28] Dominik1, please see my private message [23:28] thanks maxist [23:28] Dominik1: you shouldn't, Grub will let you boot windows [23:28] can someone tell me the format to change my clock to regular 12 hour time instead of military time? Hardy Heron [23:28] I have a 160G drive with windows on it and an empty 300G drive, I want to leave the windows installation and data and install ubuntu on the 300G drive, such that I can boot from either.. which way round should I do it? [23:28] I have Kubuntu 8.04 installed on my computer [23:28] vista is boring [23:28] How can I change the title, album, etc info of an audio file? [23:28] When it upgraded to KDE4 it left KDE3.5.10 installed on the computer [23:28] lsh-server and openssh-server :D and which i need? :D [23:28] Dominik1: ha ha, :) dual booting, hmm, I did it with XP, but you shouldn't have any problems with Vista [23:28] so now when I enter kcontrol it edits the properties for KDE3.5.10 but I obviously want it to work with KDE4 [23:28] hi,how go to ubuntu in the vmware? [23:28] TwoD: my back button ( i dont have fwd) worked as back button. but i swapped wheel button with the thumb button now. dfo you want to map the "free" buttons to specific functions? [23:28] My question is how do i completly remove KDE3.5.10? [23:28] noisan: afaik kcontrol isnt used in kde4 [23:28] when I instaled over XP it was very smooth and just installed ubuntu, xp was still fine, it will work the same way with XP I suppose? [23:28] noisan: so run the kde4 config app instead [23:29] Dominik1: I would assume so [23:29] How can I change the title, album, etc info of an audio file? [23:29] noisan: kde4 doesn't use kcontrol, the kcmshell modules are handled differently with kde4 [23:29] BULLE_: but there are some theme properties in that are in kcontrol that doesn't exist in system settings? [23:29] and there is no manuals for it :/ [23:29] alright, thanks guys, just know if I install ubuntu and vista stops working my GF will chop of my nuts [23:29] Dominik1: have you had vista very long and used it? [23:30] noisan: might be, i havent used 3.x for a long time [23:30] I think the 300G drive should be the first === christiekoehler is now known as christiekoehler| [23:30] ardchoille: that means that themes that were designed for KDE3 won't work in KDE4? [23:30] Dominik1: you may need to ahh, forgot the work, diskmaintenence, de-fragment the drive. [23:30] shane2peru: I refuse to use such shit, have you looked into the structure of vista [23:30] plouffe_, use a tag editor [23:30] BULLE_: But is there any method to completly uninstall KDE3.5.10? [23:30] zsquareplusc, I need them to work as normal back/forward buttons, as is done automatically in Windows, but only works in Firefox under Ubuntu. oh btw. I generated my xorg.conf using nvidia-settings, it added default CorePointer/CoreKeyboard input sections, but I guess I can remove those, right? [23:30] unop: such as? [23:30] Dominik1, language. [23:30] but should I install ubuntu without the windows drive in and then add it later, or should I put both drives then install ubuntu? [23:30] unop: sorry [23:30] Dominik1: language please, I agree, though, just wipe it then, that is what I did. [23:30] noisan: the settings are done differently. you should ask in #kubuntu [23:31] Dominik1: are you working on a laptop? [23:31] plouffe_, exfalso, cowbell, kid3, etc - you'll find loads if you search for "tag editor" in synaptic or so [23:31] ok guys... good night :) [23:31] huh [23:31] shane2peru: yes I am, I can't wipe, GF demands that Vista stays intact, just in case something doesn't work with Ubuntu [23:31] I am running low on HD-space and would therefore like to free-up as much as possible. And I don't like having things I don't use laying around on the ocmputer. [23:31] i built a custom kernel on intrepid, and now my keyboard and mouse do not work in X. they work in console. any ideas ? [23:31] test_: #ubuntu-nl [23:32] #ubuntu-lt [23:32] Dominik1: is it a new laptop? What brand? [23:32] is there any way to tell from command line if my network card is connected at 10mbps or 100mbps? [23:32] PeskyJ: keep the windows drive in.. ubuntu will see its a windows and add it to grub [23:32] shane2peru: Sonly V series [23:32] Dominik1: hmm, not real familiar with that one, have you tried the liveCD? [23:32] ping2, sure, see the documentation for ethtool [23:32] TwoD: well i don't know. my config does not have these sections anymore. i'd back up the xorg.conf file anyway, so you can easily roll back in case of troubles [23:32] shane2peru: good idea, I will do that [23:32] anybody here ever make their own LiveCD? [23:33] djhash: ok great :) that's perfect. [23:33] exit [23:33] Dominik1: just make sure your sound works, your network, probably wireless won't, make sure your video card is ok etc. [23:33] PeskyJ: dont change the setup of the drives.. its better to keep it the way windows recognize it.. although i dont think there will be a problem if you switch the order.. [23:33] how can i figure out what nic i have or driver at least? [23:33] [23:33] [23:33] mynous: lspci will list all your pci hardware [23:33] unop, great thanks, that worked perfectly :) [23:33] thx [23:33] shane2peru: why would wireless not work? that just takes an internet connection and some updateing [23:34] Dominik1: it usually does work after some tinkering [23:34] mynous: lsmod will tell you what kernel modules are loaded too [23:34] can someone tell my why to do if svg images have te same id's ? [23:34] man is it normal that Ubuntu has like 10 updates every day [23:34] can someone tell me the format to change my clock to regular 12 hour time instead of military time? Hardy Heron [23:34] Dominik1: at the beginning of a new release, yes [23:34] no there is just a new distro [23:34] Dominik1: if you have the 8.10 then its normal [23:34] olskolirc: in Gnome? [23:34] kubuntu mhall119 [23:34] zsquareplusc, does your ServerLayout section mention InputDevices? [23:34] these updates really bog me down, I only have 480 ram, limited resources can't handle the update process [23:34] olskolirc: right click on the time applet in your panel and go to preferences [23:35] olskolirc: then I don't know, doesn't KDE provide an option when you right-click the clock? [23:35] djhash: I might want to remove the windows drive completely later on, so I'm hoping I can easily do that and the 300G drive will still boot to ubuntu [23:35] Hey, can we update to 8.10 from ubuntu. Or do I have to boot from burned CD [23:35] anyone have any ideas on setting up a very new sound card? [23:35] alright guys, thanks for the advice, ill be out for now [23:35] adjust time and date yes, but what is the format that i need to type in to get 12 time [23:35] For some reason I can not mount my hard drives: any suggestions? [23:35] Socapex_2K: you should be able to upgrade from 8.04 [23:35] i built a custom kernel on intrepid, and now my keyboard and mouse do not work in X. they work in console. any ideas ? [23:35] olskolirc, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190051 [23:35] Socapex_2K: it is a good idea to have a CD burned, and downloaded, however you should be able to upgrade [23:35] olskolirc: it is there in preferences... [23:35] hi, i'm compiling a module from ubuntu source and build fine. but when I do a insmod it gives me a " -1 Invalid module format" [23:36] PeskyJ: then make sure grub gets installed in the 300G drive.. [23:36] olskolirc: is there a format string there for the 24-hour format? [23:36] TwoD: no, they were commented out [23:36] hey can someone help me find a version of java for ubuntu 8.10? im kinda now to linux and i dont know where to go for one === iandan is now known as Guest26287 [23:36] !java > evilspawn4 [23:36] evilspawn4, please see my private message === name_name_ is now known as name_name [23:36] olskolirc: note that I said "preferences" and you said "adjust date and time" [23:36] evil spawn4 there should be one in synaptic [23:36] hmmm... Would I use the normal update tool for that? [23:36] or apt-get [23:36] thanks [23:36] I right click the clock and go to date and time format and im at the date and time tab [23:36] zsquareplusc, ok, thanks!

If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [23:41] eraggo: youre running 32 bit (i686) [23:41] evilspawn4: it may not be Java that's the problem, but lack of OpenGL acceleration [23:41] deftone: from what i hear, WoW and "learning" are mutually exclusive pursuits :) [23:41] :/ [23:42] zsquareplusc: it's an athlon64 x2 6000+ [23:42] darn [23:42] i'm stlll keeping my vista partition....but i want to install ubuntu on another partition [23:42] anyone install a eggdrop bot on base unbuntu server? [23:42] amews_aj: or by "there" do you mean "synaptic"? [23:42] im having a problem locating libtcl.so and i have tcl instaleld [23:42] mhall199: what is OpenGL? [23:42] jrib: I know that, but it is hidden from the synaptic, that is my problem, I know how to install manually [23:42] deftone: stick with Intel graphics and wireless when using Linux (for now) [23:42] jrib: yes [23:42] chris1: eggdrop is in the repositories [23:42] deftone do you have another empty partition? [23:42] but i was curious if i was gonna be able to run compizf [23:42] Hi all. can anyone help me configuring an ad-hoc wifi network? [23:42] evilspawn4: that's the language you video card uses to draw 3D graphics [23:42] deftone: if you want to learn ubuntu, just drop in the ubuntu CD while booted into Vista, and install it that way. [23:43] PeskyJ: that should work fine. but be prepared that not all software is also easily available in 64 bits, such as flash plugin. there are solutions but its more works as when you run 32 bits [23:43] Java speaks OpenGL to the video card when the driver supports it [23:43] !ask | giusef [23:43] giusef: 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. :-) [23:43] mhall199: i know thats not it cuz java works fine in windows vista [23:43] WoW and Runescape probably both need that [23:43] deftone: seems to work well, and lets you boot into Ubuntu when you reboot. [23:43] i can't run 8.10 and compiz on what i have now...which is intel gm965 [23:43] amews_aj: check your filters for search maybe [23:43] mhall119: rs works on me :) [23:43] russ, if you wan to mount it always, you have to add it in the fstab file [23:43] evilspawn4: Java supports OpenGL if the graphics card driver supports it, but the linux driver for your card may not support it [23:43] Socapex_2K: it's in the repo [23:43] jrib: just under 'eggdrop'? [23:43] jrib: Everything set to all [23:43] deftone: ? is the intelgm965 blacklisted? [23:43] deftone: Compiz and my GMA965 are quite happy together [23:43] evilspawn4: what kind of graphics card do you have? [23:44] they blacklisted intel's gm965 [23:44] deftone that should be able run compiz [23:44] ping2: I asked for a step-by-step help [23:44] jrib: also problem with other stuff such as nvidia-glx-96 [23:44] !info eggdrop | chris1, yes [23:44] dope [23:44] chris1, yes: eggdrop (source: eggdrop): Advanced IRC Robot. In component universe, is extra.

[23:44] time to visit outside... [23:44] Hi, Does anyone know when that issue with 8.10 not running laptop fans is going to get fixed? I am tired of my laptop overheating [23:44] mhal119: geforce 7600GS [23:44] deftone: you should be fine I would think, generally the intel cards play nice with linux [23:44] deftone: no, Hardy [23:44] deftone: are you using that system with intrepid now? [23:44] zsquareplusc: ok.. so flash plugin doesn't work in 64-bit mode? [23:44] evilspawn4: and you;re running Intrepid 8.10? [23:44] deftone: there's no reason you can;t run Hardy [23:44] i need some help with my notebook please... it's only running in half speed it seems... [23:44] i'm on hardy too.....and i can run compiz...no i'm using this system with hardy [23:44] deftone also compiz should run without installing any drivers on a 965 [23:44] mhall199: yes [23:44] stage3: what is the fstab file? geez linux has some terms to learn [23:44] gma950 works smooth for compiz in intrepid here [23:45] deftone: ever played EVE:online? [23:45] ping2: ping [23:45] evilspawn4: do you have Compiz working? [23:45] !info fstab [23:45] Package fstab does not exist in intrepid [23:45] rabe: how much ram do you have? [23:45] amews_aj: I've seen someone else have the same problem. I don't know though since I can't duplicate it here. Tried hitting reload? Does it say "rebuilding index"? [23:45] not on intrepid.....compiz doesn't work with intrepid [23:45] mhall119: yes works like a dream ^_^ [23:45] rabe: did you setup swapspace? [23:45] jrib: Yes it does. [23:45] russ, fstab lists all the filesystems to mount [23:45] evilspawn4: then the driver supports OpenGL, not sure what problem Java is having [23:45] PeskyJ: not sure, i dont think so. there is an open source flash player that is and there are other ways [23:45] TheDeepFriedBoo: not heard of that issue, how old is the lap top [23:45] amews_aj: I'd try giving it some time to let it finish then [23:45] russ the fstab file said to linux what partition to mount when it init [23:46] jrib: I did [23:46] jrib: Strange, I already did that 5 times or so, now I did it again, now they show up. [23:46] mhall119: well i had the same problem with playing wmv files in firefox for awhile but then it all of a sudden fixed itself overnight lol [23:46] evilspawn4: try running WoW or Runescape from the command line. I remember FreeCol using Java, but it was hard-coded to look for it in a path where it wasn't installed [23:46] zsquareplusc: ok.. what do I lose by installing the i386 version instead then? will it be much slower? [23:46] giusef, have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc ? [23:46] Executable is not TorrentFlux-bundled transmissioncli...can there be a problem with this version of transmission??

[23:47] PeskyJ: it may even be faster. you will be happier with 64 bits if you have more than 3 or 4 GB of RAM. otherwise, i dont think that you gain much [23:47] OK now I have a question :p - my lighttpd set up is not serving up PHP files, it's offering them for download, I've tried setting it to /usr/bin/php-cgi and /usr/bin/php5-cgi, any other suggestions please?

If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [23:58] evilspawn4: I think the problem is that WoW and Runescape are looking for Java to be installed in the wrong place [23:58] my Mac is to new to boot from usb sadly :( [23:58] yeah that is what I tried, I installed it from the option under the administration option on the live cd [23:58] can somebody telling me why im getting this : AvantFAX database is DOWN [23:58] z987k: archive.ubuntu.com in your browser does not give you a 404?

[23:59] !who | z987k [23:59] evilspawn4: it should be, yes, the fact that it's not makes me think something else is going on [23:59] z987k: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:59] my hardware drivers says it is loaded and supported, yet it doesn't activate it and it doesn't pick up wireless signals [23:59] is there a way to see what version of transmissioncli I have installed and/or what are available in the repos...since the torrentflux-b4rt says that its not a bundled software?
