Didn't have to worry about umasks that way. If you have a simpler solution I'm all ears [01:43] linoj: yes, boot from cd, mount the / and look at the username through /etc/passwd [01:43] burkesbythebay: Well, did you edit the fstab yourself to mount that device?

[02:23] Hi all. Can anyone help me install a tar.bz file. [02:23] cooljeff3000: every torrent uses "multiple connections" [02:23] DavidCanarias: which app are you trying to isntall? [02:23] cooljeff3000: what does that mean? you always connected to multiple peers [02:23] so not sure what you are trying to say there [02:23] DavidCanarias, just do tar zxvf tarball and then read the README or INSTALL file [02:23] you are* [02:23] okidoki1, in some guides say: disable the current ath driver in System - hardware drivers in menu, but i open this dialog and dont see any in the list, [02:23] w0ls0n: dont you need a j in there cause its a bz2? [02:24] hola DavidCanarias, im in tenerife :) [02:24] ardchoille: Im trying to update mozilla and downloaded the new version in a tarball file. [02:24] w0ls0n: but he should look in the repos to see if it's there before manually installing [02:24] crdlb: Yes, using compiz. [02:24] DavidCanarias: ok, just wanted to make sure it wasn't in the repos first [02:24] z0d14k: the cause of this is "Legacy fullscreen support" in the Workarounds plugin [02:24] well he can bunzip it then do tar zxvf [02:25] crdlb: So, just disable that and things should be happy again? [02:25] pangloss: modern tar doesn't need the "j" or "z" to be specified [02:25] z0d14k: if you disable that misfeature, after closing firefox, it should not open fullscreen the next time you open it [02:25] mcphail: thanks for the update [02:25] crdlb: Worked. Thanks. [02:26] crdlb++ [02:26] is there anyone here that was able to run Age of Conan successfuly on ubuntu?

How is this possible? [02:32] sorry to ask, as I'm sure it's been asked before... but where can I find the md5sum for the 8.10 iso? [02:33] Pizarro: what do you use to establish the vpn connection? [02:33] sergiu, linux yes, really linux is the kernel, and ubuntu one SO that use linux as kernel, and later attach a lot of applications, as an gnome desktop, configurations scripts, and other apps developed by canonical [02:33] If the VPN server were under XP I would understand it, but the VPN server is under an Ubuntu machine! [02:33] !help? [02:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about help? [02:33] and I am trying to connect from a Ubuntu machine too, anu ideas?

[02:35] mm how i can see the loaded module list in the kernel [02:35] KarlsBerg: lsmod [02:35] is it advisable to use root account [02:35] ah yes! [02:35] dexter: no [02:35] dexter, I do, sudo sucks IMO [02:35] !root | dexter [02:35] dexter: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:35] mgolisch, I don't know, but at the other side (Ubnutu server) I have installed POPTOP (ppptd) which is actually working fine for the microsoft machines [02:35] dexter, sudo passwd root [02:35] !root | dexter === WPPWAH|offline is now known as WPPWAH [02:36] mgolisch, but whenever I try to establish the connection from any UBuntu machine I somehow it is not possible [02:36] !paste > sergiu [02:36] sergiu, please see my private message [02:36] WOlsOn: Thks for this info.

[02:36] ardchoille, works fine for me [02:36] !worksforme | w0ls0n [02:36] w0ls0n: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [02:36] mgolisch, is there any other tool to establish pptp connections? [02:37] dexter: because with power comes responsibility [02:37] I have been using root with FreeBSD for over 10 years [02:37] please tell me why it is NOT advisable to use root [02:37] dexter: I've been using Ubuntu since 2005 and have never needed to unlock the root account, sudo can do anything you need [02:37] mgolisch: how do i tell, i think it's set to alsa or auto [02:37] w0ls0n: you never had an "oh crap" moment as root? [02:37] !noroot [02:37] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [02:37] sudo = PITA [02:37] mgolisch, this will be very funy..I will be forced to use a Microsfot machine to connect remotly to an Ubuntu one! [02:37] goat|lappy, ardchoille; so instead can i use a user account with administration rights?? [02:37] mgolisch: the output plugin in totem [02:38] I have NEVER had a problme using root. Ever. [02:38] dexter: why? [02:38] dexter: yes, that is what sudo is for [02:38] w0ls0n: so you never rm -rf the wrong thing, in 10 years? === njord is now known as kitche [02:38] hey guys, is word "simplier" correct and can be used (I don't know english perfectly)? [02:38] once but I had a backup [02:38] audio output: stereo [02:38] whats up everyone [02:38] dexter: just be a user, and be happy. when you cant do something because you don't have the power, use sudo [02:39] Nergoth: simpler [02:39] OK guys, any idea about my issue? [02:39] Nergoth: more simple [02:39] Nergoth: don't add er or est to anything with more than one syllabel [02:39] Nergoth more simple sounds grammatically correct [02:39] goat|lappy, ardchoille; not using sudo....wen we create a user account...we can set the priviledges to administer the sysetm......wont this be necessary though i need to experiment on my kernel [02:40] ollla [02:40] ubuntu is not regulating the brightness of my laptop display, what can I do? [02:40] in system monitor, sometimes one CPU goes to like 50% and the other at 0%, then if I go to processes, and sort by CPU usage, there's nothing there using more than 3% [02:40] dexter: everyone knows you have a root account and we can sit here all day trying to brute force it, we can't do that if the root account is locked [02:40] Nergoth most is like adding est to a more than one sylable word and more is lik er [02:40] Does anyone know when the Ubuntu shutdown bug (which prevents it from shutting down properly) will be fixed? [02:40] wuuuuuuuuuu [02:40] hmm, but you talking about simple, I'm talking about simply :) [02:40] karlsberg did this work for you [02:40] Anyone here really good with wireless radio problems? I have an Acer Aspire 1680 laptop with the intel pro wireless card inside and it's using the ipw2200 driver. It worked fine until it updated one day and now the "kill switch" doesn't light up or do anything anymore. [02:40] So, I can't get my wireless radio to turn on. [02:40] Outlander: i mean what did you select there? alsa,pulseaudio or what? [02:40] PeskyJ, theres an option to show processes from all users, but may i suggest using command line utilities like top [02:41] i dont see those in a list anywhere in totem [02:41] I've already tried editing the ipw2200 to show "options led power=1" and it didn't work. [02:41] tabs in preferences are general, display, audio [02:41] nkei0, are u using hardy or intrepid? [02:41] and audio only has output type with things like stereo, 5.1, ac3 passthru [02:41] I wonder if it uses the new rfkill linux subsystem... [02:41] so i think something borked === werdnus is now known as werdna [02:42] I need help with my xorg congige [02:42] (a new linux api I noticed in 2.6.28, for controlling wireless on/off) [02:42] usser: aha.. yes it looks like Xorg is the culprit :) [02:42] and i also dont think it's totem, but a more systemwide setting that has gone wrong [02:42] Outlander: hm yeah, what does pgrep pulseaudio print on the terminal? [02:42] not sure if it's in 2.6.27 or not [02:42] ah ok [02:42] doing... [02:42] usser: It happened on hardy, but I upgraded to intrepid and it worked. Then another day I did my daily update and it stopped working. [02:42] ardchoille, are you here [02:42] 9344 [02:42] rfxcasey: I am :) [02:43] ive also removed and reinstalled pulseaudio packages [02:43] I NEEED HELP [02:43] hey I have a problem with my x configuration do you think you could help? [02:43] usser: note I tried the option led=1 thing before on hardy and it worked but it quit after a little while hence the upgrade [02:43] is it usual for Xorg to be using so much CPU? [02:43] Pizarro: check the syslog for more detailed error description [02:43] anybody using a fax server? [02:43] PeskyJ: yes, xorg is a main component of your gui [02:43] pulseaudio 0.9.10 appears to be installed [02:43] goat|lappy, ardchoille; i m talking about a non-root account, i.e. a user account...just open users and group... and see the properties of any user account(non-root), there is a tab...called priviledges....in one of the options u get administer the system......so if i have 2 work with the kernel part and learn system administration...can i do that without checking this option [02:44] Pizarro: just ask the question [02:44] ardchoille, I am having a problem with my xorg config [02:44] okidoki1, [02:44] compiling [02:44] but i dont think.. [02:44] i follow 5 guides.. without result [02:44] anybody using a fax server? [02:44] KarlsBerg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:44] Pizarro, what you want? [02:44] A thing that I never understood is why the software in Linux don't show errors on th efly in windows or dialogs, everything is "hidden" in files and files... [02:44] dexter: you can do that without checking the option, you can compile and modify the kernel with sudo, even when you are not in the administrator group [02:44] ardchoille, I am actually on a different machine because it's so screwed up [02:45] Pizarro, is a spanish name, are you spanish Pizarro ? [02:45] KarlsBerg, yes I am [02:45] anybody using a fax server? [02:45] goat|lappy....so i can learn system administration in the same way [02:45] ?? [02:45] his name could have been Italian [02:45] Pizarro: Most installs or whatever have a details thingie you can click on or you can watch it on the system log which is accessible from the administration tab under the system dropdown [02:45] so is there any new version of pulseaudio that i can install to get around this or is there a known issue for some people [02:45] rfxcasey: What happened? [02:45] dexter: yes, responsible system administration includes knowing when to use your privileges [02:45] it was working just sweet up until last night [02:45] i need some help [02:46] i believe i did some updates [02:46] The problem I have is very weird: I set up a VPN server under Ubuntu server (POPTOP) which is working pretty good. I can establish VPN connection to it from Microsoft machines, however I can't do the same thing from Ubuntu machines using the networlmanager-pptp [02:46] goat|lappy; thanq......any idea how to quickly learn the kernel programmin and other system programming [02:46] Yeah, here is a question... Is there anyway to undo updates? [02:46] Pizarro, im gaditano xD [02:46] pizarro sons [02:46] help me pls [02:46] ardchoille, Well when I used to use windows I overclocked my video card, so I tried to install coolbits of the nvida driver under linux [02:46] HELP?

[02:47] ardchoille, I had to add a line to my xorg config and all that was ok [02:47] KarlsBerg, encantado pisha! [02:47] Why the update servers are so slow ? [02:47] how can i open a run file with Administrative Privlages? [02:47] dexter: when i first wanted to learn about he kernel, i read up on this: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-kernel/?S_TACT=105AGX59&S_CMP=GR&ca=dgr-btw01LKernalAnatomy [02:47] I get 20 KB/s max [02:47] Pizarro: I cant help with your problem, but I have heard that OpenVPN is a better solution for a VPN server (there is a readup on poptop as to why it may be worth avoiding) [02:47] r0x0r: It's probably more you than them. I get a little over 200kb/s [02:47] easy Q > after how long should a box be powered down? (heat / component considerations) [02:47] mgolisch: i found a fix on the forums which was [02:47] but when I reboot the machine it tells me I am no longer using the nvidia xserver config [02:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=878794&highlight=pulseaudio+issue [02:48] ?

[02:48] so it's probably because of that [02:48] actually it must happen during login? cos i hear the drums on the login screen [02:48] Here everyone has problems with ubuntu, ubuntu is shit then [02:48] conathan, Using OpenVPN I have to crear certificates each time a new client will conenct...the people in my office use random machines in their trips, I can't stay everyday sendig certificates!

[02:49] DELTA31, NOBODY is going to help you without KNOWING what the problem IS [02:49] KarlsBerg: Please take that elsewhere [02:49] goat|lappy; thanq......I am actually planning to learn the kernel programming......so that I can fix bugs and submit patches....and do a college project on kernel programming [02:49] mgolisch: thanks for your help :) [02:49] !language [02:49] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:50] Pizarro: ah, fair enough [02:50] r0x0r: lol, i'm not sure :( I'm still pretty new to this, just google it, I saw a pretty good guide for it the other day but I didn't need it so I didn't remember anything [02:50] sorry i already said it, i need help running a .run file with admin privlages [02:50] ok thank you [02:50] dexter: this could be of use: http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/~dsw/public-files/kernel-docs/kernel-api/ [02:50] ardchoille, hehehe [02:50] Pizarro: I doubt this helps, but it uses the GRE protocol to connect from one PC to another. I'm assuming it's probaby in ubuntu by default, but may be worth looking into [02:50] r0x0r: I googled change repositories ubuntu linux intrepid to get it [02:50] dexter: that shows kernel calls, and such, google is your friend [02:50] hello, I need some help debugging a problem with a wireless usb [02:51] DELTA31: sudo ./file.run [02:51] Pizarro: (by protocol, I mean it's at the same level as tcp, ipx, icmp, e.t.c) [02:51] thanx [02:51] it fails to turn on at boot, aI have to rmmod the ehci_hcd to make it work. [02:51] why does rythmnbox take a long time to extract? I know it does a wav to flac conversion, but it still seems to take forever [02:51] how do I get ehci_hcd to recognize my wireless dongle? [02:51] nkei0, yes I have found a guide, 10x ! [02:52] !netsplit [02:52] 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 [02:52] split [02:52] wow [02:52] apparently usb-storage doesn't work either. [02:52] conathan, but do you know what I did?: I established from the Ubuntu desktop machine a VPN connection to a MS machine (which worked) and then I opened a Desktop Remote conection to that MS machine, and from there a Opened a VPN connection to the UBnutu server machine, and Everything worked!!!!! [02:52] it uses a zd1211rw driver apparently. [02:52] goat|lappy; i have been tired of searching on google....i never a proper guidance on how to start and were 2 start and how I can just pace up so that I can be ready for the programming in a short time [02:53] FloodBot1, remember me to Bender [02:53] when I first log in it says: hub 7-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5 [02:53] i dont seem to see the create a usb startup disk option under administration in intrepid. is there a package that needs to be installed ? [02:53] couldn't really find anything in google that would fix this problem. [02:53] conathan, but if I try to establish the VPN connection direclty from the Ubnutu desktop machine to the Ubunutu server it just turn out in: "VPN connection failed"...and this is freaking me out [02:54] conathan, so summirizing: if I have to control the Ubuntu server via VPN, I have to connect through a XP machine XD [02:54] Pizarro: configure it properly [02:55] any ubuntu gurus in today? [02:55] !ask | mordaunt [02:55] mordaunt: 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. :-) [02:55] mgolisch, I would like to know what is wrong with my configuration since the XP machines can perfectly conencte to the PPTP server...

All I know was all my fun getting winXP to connect to a VPN server at work through my router. [02:57] goat|lappy: yea.. but why is there a 13 sec gap.. between those two lines in dmesg.. and it seems all that happened was that the console was detected [02:58] lol [02:58]  okay, i need help opening this file because when it opens in terminal it says aborted because of Admin privliages VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run? any body [02:59] does anyone use webcam and microphone to do web conference with other people here?

[03:00] dexter: how about this, its the last of my delicious links on the kernel: http://www.linuxhq.com/lkprogram.html [03:00] conathan, but I don't understand the reason since the protocol is still the same for both platforms, so if it is working for MS platform, it shoul be for Ubuntu too [03:00] can someone please help me straighten out my x config [03:00] dexter: other than that, i wish you luck [03:00] Another thing I'd like to note is it worked fine in older versions of Ubuntu. :S [03:01] does anybody know how i can get my palm treo 680 to sync with ubuntu?

[03:06] rsvp: thermometer [03:06] yeah [03:06] rsvp: I use gkrelm to montiro the machine, other than that you don't have to worry about much in Linux [03:06] Lisa1 what type of video card do you have [03:06] bazhang: how ? is there any software can do that ? [03:06] leohartx, k9copy is the software that does that [03:06] k9copy is the software i supose [03:07] robert_: it is an integrated intel video card [03:07] !info k9copy [03:07] k9copy (source: k9copy): DVD backup tool for KDE. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 2.0.2-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 1349 kB, installed size 3024 kB [03:07] or just use dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/somewhere/some.iso [03:07] ardchoille, rsvp: there's also a gnome-taskbar applet that does it too, it says i'm at 65c now :( [03:07] anyone experience block artifacts using ATI catalyst driver, say if you play a dvd, you move that window, and where the window once was there is a kind of ghosted artifacts of the movie ?

[03:07] you hear about google monitoring each box across their farm, what utilities do they use for that? [03:08] goat|lappy: laptop, and i have no idea how to cool it down [03:08] Gday guys and gals, I got a bit of a problem installing Ubuntu, anyone have a minute? [03:08] bazhang: is k9 copy base on KDE ? [03:08] rsvp, Custom made [03:08] sudo apt-get install k9copy leohartx [03:08] hi are intrepid questions allowed in here?

[03:08] hey, does anyone know how to configure a soundblaster X-Fi ? [03:09] is anyone familiar with getting lvm2 on raid to boot with intrepid? [03:09] rsvp, C++, java, Python mainly [03:09] help!!! [03:09] goat|lappy: what temperature should is tart worrying about actual damage? [03:09] killerbyte: yeah, put them into your fstab [03:09] Has anyone here ever worked with bootable Ubuntu on a flash drive? [03:09] onthefence928: there isn't a specific temp, sustained temps above 70C on your proc will lessen its life tho [03:09] when I put a video or screen saver or another video application. they show blinking why? [03:09] !usb | Doitle [03:09] Doitle: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [03:10] killerbyte did you install storage device manager [03:10] Josesordo, with or without compiz [03:10] with compiz [03:10] ç [03:10] and without compiz happen too [03:10] okidoki1, yes [03:10] goat|lappy: yeah over 70 is common for me :( [03:10] bazang: is there any other software base on Gnome ? [03:10] Josesordo, disable it with fusion-icon [03:10] what brings the temperature up? cpu at what% usage? [03:10] hhi to all [03:10] disable compiz? [03:10] Right. When I boot from the live CD (was version 7.10 now d/l 8.10) I select boot live cd/install ubuntu, it then says something about the kernal has been loaded. Then there is nothing, just a black screen. No loading bar of sorts, nothing. Are there paramaters I must change, or..? [03:10] Josesordo, yes [03:11] onthefence928: if you have fiddled with the guts of your laptop, you could consider replacing your fan/heatsink [03:11] no no I know bazhang, I was asking if anyone had done it with much success. We've managed to get it working through a few different tutorial approaches but they all seem to have some rather odd problems. [03:11] does anybody know a good dock like say avant, that works without compiz? [03:11] okidoki1, it works a bit funny and does not allow me to mount all file systems [03:11] Lisa1 if you're just trying to adjust screen resolution then in term type sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [03:11] Doitle, using hardy or ibex [03:11] but without compiz still videos or 3D screensave show blinking [03:11] Also I meant installing it ONTO the USB drive not from a USB drive [03:11] onthefence928: simdock and cairo-dock both work without compiz [03:11] my /boot partition got trashed in an intrepid install, i am chrooted into my system, how can i reinstall/resetup the /boot stuffs? [03:11] the bizarre thing is that my desktop has no fan? weird, no ;) [03:11] Hardy [03:11] goat|lappy: i haven't, and you think i can find a cheap upgarde for a toshiba qosmio g35? [03:11] rsvp: no thats just passive cooling [03:11] Doitle, there is a new utility in ibex to do that [03:11] 1 [03:11] onthefence928: idk, sorry [03:11] how do i enable openGL support in ibex? [03:12] robert_: I don't think ubuntu is makeing use of my graphics card (3d stuff is not enabled) and furthermore I am trying to adjust brightness, the applet won't work [03:12] How to install Atheros wirelless driver?? [03:12] rsvp: obviously it doesn't work to the degree of active cooling (a fan), but its a way to save money [03:12] ardchoille: i'm trying out simdock now, it seems...buggy, and doesn't let me easily add launcher via drag and drop [03:12] onthefence928: I didn't like either one of them [03:12] bazang: is there any other software base on Gnome ? and btw, how do i test opengl on my graphic card ? [03:13] Lisa1 do you know what intel card you have? [03:13] leohartx: glxgears? [03:13] mgolisch, is it possible to do it using gui at all? [03:13] ardchoille: and cairo has really bad non-compiz visuals,. the background is all black and square [03:13] killerbyte, only one click to a device (sdax) and selecting yes on the dialog is enough, if there is an other problem, i dont know [03:13] ardchoille: but it look fine with compiz, [03:13] killerbyte: no idea, why would you want to? i mean its internal disks, thats something you setup one time [03:13] robert_: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) [03:14] can i just apt-get to reinstall my kernel? [03:14] mgolisch: what do you mean ? [03:14] my hard drive only makes metallic noises at start-up, so I thinking not shutting down will solve this problem ;) [03:14] jan_aus1: why do you need to reinstall your kernel? [03:14] leohartx: glxgears uses opengl, you can use that to see if you opengl works [03:15] ziroday: my /boot got trashed [03:15] rsvp: yes, your right, not shutting down will solve the problem of the drive making noise at startup :-D [03:15] jan_aus1: then I doubt reinstalling the kernel will fix it. [03:15] wow that's a lot of people. [03:15] mgolisch, i will probably change internal disks from time to time [03:15] hello all. I have a K8U-X motherboard. I have gone through the manual and cannot seem to get it to work. Can someone give me a hand? [03:15] the sound that is [03:15] mgolisch: uhm, how do i ? [03:15] I cannot get sound to work [03:15] Lisa1: Grab your self a Evga Geforce 8400 gs 47.99 with tax in shipping any where i n the states. [03:15] ziroday: any suggestions? [03:16] can any software predict a hard drive crash? [03:16] jan_aus1: only a reinstall comes to mind :) [03:16] FloridaBSD: laptop [03:16] Woops mybad las [03:16] hey everyone of #ubuntu [03:16] rsvp: smart maybe [03:16] i have a question [03:16] rsvp: take a look at smartclt [03:16] ziroday: thats definately overkill... i simply need to reinstall kernel and initram images... i just don't know what packages provide these [03:16] can anybody help i have mounted a ext3 partition which is displaying on the desktop but i cant write anything to it. But when I go to /media/sda3 i can. [03:16] rsvp: sorry I mean smartctl [03:16] ROTF [03:16] is it OK to SELL ubuntu for $10 at a store? [03:16] jesus, I won't tell you how I read that [03:17] kavik: no [03:17] kavik, that is offtopic here [03:17] mgolisch, also it is a task that turns away new users so it should really be possible to do it with the gui [03:17] bazhang, well where do i go for that? [03:17] bazhang i thought it was on topic, this is ubuntu afterall.. [03:17] #ubuntu-offtopic kavik [03:17] I read google has predictive programs which tell them when to swap out their drives. [03:17] jan_aus1: they all begin with linux-images [03:17] Lisa1: Of course it is I have seen websites selling it for around 15 bucks [03:18] but nothing on code.google.com ;) I mean open-sourced... [03:18] ziroday: linux-images-generic? [03:18] rsvp: I gave you a name of the program, smartctl [03:18] jan_aus1: yeah [03:18] jan_aus1: that looks fine [03:18] FloridaBSD: no I mean I am on a laptop [03:18] hi awesome people [03:18] can x86 and amd64 kernels coexist in the same /boot ? [03:18] jan_aus1: yes [03:19] hello all. I have a K8U-X motherboard. I have gone through the manual and cannot seem to get sound to work. Can someone give me a hand? [03:19] goat|lappy: different filenames? [03:19] jan_aus1: but only one can be running [03:19] jan_aus1: you can put anything you want in /boot its just a directory [03:19] Lisa1 run sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel then restart and see if everything is detected [03:19] Evening All [03:20] The funny thing is that Sun microsystems allows you to download Solaris and Open solaris b ass well as charding 65 USD for a solaris medis kit. [03:20] omfg, i despise wireles in ubuntu... It worked perfectly then I did the whole daily update thing... And it doesn't work anymore :( [03:20] how do I install nvidia drivers using the command line [03:20] rfxcasey: what card do you have? [03:20] nkei0 what distro are you on [03:20] ibix [03:20] In ubuntu server, I have multiple network interfaces. Each interface is on its own internet connection. is there anyway I can do a command in any CLI ftp client to specify which interface to use ? [03:20] ziroday, 6800 [03:20] robert__: I had the same problem on hardy though [03:20] rfxcasey which version of ubuntu are you using? [03:20] robert_: thanks ill try [03:21] KingOfDos, 8.04 [03:21] rfxcasey: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 [03:21] does anybody know how i can get my palm treo 680 to sync with ubuntu? [03:21] robert_: it already is the newest version :( [03:21] ahh i just did ibex this morning after a year of no ubuntu now wireless and every other device is working great [03:21] ardchoille: in case you care, you'll be happy to know i just got avant working without compiz [03:21] rfxcasey: oh right for 8.04 its sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [03:21] also dont you need to install some other stuff? nvidia-glx-config nvidia-glx-settings if my memory serves me correctly [03:21] robert__: Yeah, just make sure you backup your system before doing any updates. [03:21] onthefence928: how did you accomplish that? I'd like to know [03:22] which repository is for backports from jaunty to intrepid? [03:22] anyone know, how to use the fingerprint to validate the certificate manually! [03:22] does the kernel-image package provide initramfs? [03:22] onthefence928: PM? [03:22] kingsofleon: that comes with the package...or they are not necessary [03:22] any problmes with intrepid? [03:22] ok , guys, in summary I'm going to look into gkrelm and smartctl --- THANKS very much! -- have a great weekend. [03:22] svn co [03:22] that's scary... it's work laptop do you know of any tools to image drive [03:22] ziroday, it keeps telling me failed to fetch [03:22] mgolisch, its a very basic capability to just browse internal disk file systems and should really not require manual editing of configuration files i think [03:22] w0ls0n, read the notes [03:22] ardchoille: shoot me one [03:22] !notes [03:22] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [03:22] rfxcasey: are you connected to the internet? [03:22] Bullterd: do and ifconfig this should show you all of you interfaces installed in the machine both live and dormant als use a netstat -i [03:22] w0ls0n intrepid's been great for me so far [03:22] hy [03:22] ok [03:22] ziroday, yea [03:23] on dell precision m2300 [03:23] mgolisch, what do you think? [03:23] w0ls0n: not any that i didn't have in hardy... ACPI still doesn't jive with my ati mobility 9700 and my wireless worked great for about 2 weeks until a random update turned my killswitch to a paperweight [03:23] Bullterd: do and ifconfig this should show you all of you interfaces installed in the machine both live and dormant als use a netstat -i will aslo list all of the interfaces in you machine. [03:23] rfxcasey: try changing repo's then. Can you pastebin the exact error message [03:23] well I hope it doesn't screw up vmware [03:23] Is there a way to upgrade to intrepid without losing my files, but also without ubuntu sucking afterwords? [03:23] ziroday, ok one second [03:23] it's been a little buggy. I think I am going to convert my vmware box to an EXSi vmware box instead [03:23] ziroday, I'm rebooting just in cause\ [03:24] DamienGray: depends on what you call "sucking" [03:24] !best [03:24] 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. [03:24] killerbyte: its internal disks, not removeable or something, for that i would agree with you, but you usualy dont change internal disks all day so its a one time task to set that up [03:24] ziroday: Well...stuff messing up, permissions on files changing, etc. [03:24] hi [03:24] DamienGray: that shouldn't happen, but still may [03:24] !hi | Mettlesome [03:24] Mettlesome: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:25] ziroday: Is it worth upgrading now, or should I wait for a few more updates to intrepid? [03:25] ziroday, ok it's going [03:25] DamienGray: if are really worried the best idea to is to backup your files and do a fresh install. [03:25] DamienGray: and you can upgrade whenever you want, no time is going to be the best === Doitle is now known as Doitle2 [03:25] ziroday, what is the difference between nvidia-glx-177 and new [03:26] rfxcasey: you are using 8.04 correct? [03:26] ziroday, correct [03:26] why does every little click i do in gtkpod take up 100% CPU make gtkpod unresponsive for 10 seconds??? [03:26] rfx - i think new will include all the necssary stuff you need whereas 177 is only part of what you need [03:26] using gtkpod 0.99.12. [03:26] if that makes sense [03:26] This is so annoying.. I have the infamous atheros wireless card that caused a lot of issues in the last versions of ubuntu..And now that I've installed 8.10 it still doesn't work [03:26] please how can I get to my graphic cards properties, and how can I see all my installed hardware? [03:26] rfxcasey: then you don't have nvidia-glx-177, it was just a rename between hardy to intrepid [03:26] is there a way I can get ubuntu auth with windows 2003 server? [03:27] roffe: which card? [03:27] ziroday, roger that === Jguy2 is now known as Jguy [03:27] Lisa1: the second question is answered by using lspci [03:27] lisa: sudo ap-get install hardinfo [03:27] Lisa1: $lspci [03:27] ziroday: ar5007 [03:27] Does Ubuntu 8.10 load XGL by default? [03:27] w0ls0n: likewise or do it manualy using samba/winbind/kerberos [03:27] Lisa1: whats wrong with your graphics card? [03:27] roffe: one sec [03:27] roffe: have you read the release notes? [03:27] ziroday, I want to overclock my card using coolbit as it worked great in windows but trying to install the linux version messed up my xorg [03:27] ziroday: unfortunately not [03:28] ziroday: I have no 3D working, so I figured it doesn't work :( furthermore I can't dim my laptop screen [03:28] !notes | roffe you need the part about atheros cards, it tells you how there [03:28] roffe you need the part about atheros cards, it tells you how there: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [03:28] rfxcasey: overclocking is really, really not recommended here. Anyway you should use the nvclock app in the repos [03:28] Lisa1: : What chipset are you running on? [03:29] Lisa1: okay, what graphics card do you have (if you know?) [03:29] Thanks a lot ziroday! I'll check it out [03:29] ziroday, ok it installed now what do I do to get a gui back [03:29] can anyone help me install package manually? [03:29] rfxcasey: erm restart [03:29] Optimus997: what do you mean by manually? [03:29] ziroday: FloridaBSD: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) [03:29] ziroday, so will it autodetect or something [03:29] roffe: that will hopefully get your card working [03:29] Munchkinguy, XGL is kinda dead. So no. [03:29] goat|lappy;i lost ur previous reply...could u repeat....i was just away..... === FloridaBSD is now known as pfexec [03:29] rfxcasey: should do [03:29] Lisa1: great, one sec [03:30] night [03:30] mgolisch, without ever changing internal disks i think it is too important a task to expect new users to edit config files for [03:30] tiem for sleep [03:30] Strange thing happened with my laptop, software dimmer always worked just fine. Recently I dropped and broke my laptop screen so I bought and fitted a replacement and now the software dimmer doesn't work properly. Pretty strange, no? [03:30] ziroday, the graphics with ubuntu are really annoying to get working [03:30] how about this, its the last of my delicious links on the kernel: http://www.linuxhq.com/lkprogram.html [03:30] !dpkg | Optimus997 [03:30] Optimus997: dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [03:30] dexter: ^^ [03:30] ziroday: i wanna install autoconf 2.59c but ubuntu 6.06 has 2.59 and its not updating vis apt-get so i have to install it manually [03:30] ziroday, I mean if you mess them up [03:30] rfxcasey: erm no, you probably did something different :) [03:30] yo [03:30] Optimus997: use dpkg [03:30] ziroday, they were great on first install [03:31] ziroday, so is it not suggested to use envy in hoary [03:31] is dpkg used like apt-get? [03:31] rfxcasey: yep [03:31] dexter: ive got to go now though, so good luck with your education [03:31] opti yes but it's much more complicated [03:31] Optimus997: $man dpkg [03:31] goat|lappy;thanq.... [03:31] ziroday, yeah it never worked right for me [03:31] Optimus997: sorry, I don't know how to go about that. Have you checked in backports? [03:31] ziroday: I will read it more properly, but the proprietary drivers claim the wireless is installed, yet I don't have the option in the networkmanager to choose any wireless === pfexec is now known as FloridaBSD [03:32] ziroday, ok I rebooted but it takes me to a command line [03:32] roffe: yeah thats known, the package it tells you to install has the newer ath5k dirver with better support for your card [03:32] rfxcasey: bah, what does it say in /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the Driver line [03:33] can i make a /opt/subdirectory writable by a user other than root [03:33] ziroday, what is the best way to view it from the command line [03:33] ziroday, nano? [03:33] Lisa1: can you do compiz --replace at the command line and see what it says please [03:33] ziroday: so, they should be activated eventhough I can't get access to wireless in the nwm? [03:33] rfxcasey: yep, thats fine [03:33] rebel_kid: yes, use $chown [03:33] roffe: sorry, I don't follow [03:33] Guys, is there a list from nVidia that tells which driver version supports which cards? [03:33] ziroday, you will have to walk me through it as I am no good with nano [03:34] vi rocks [03:34] ziroday: Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format [03:34] WebcamWonder: yep, you can see it at nvidia.com. If you tell us the card version I might know :) [03:34] webcam if you search for nvidia in synaptic package manager the descriptiosn should say [03:34] rfxcasey: no worries [03:34] mgolisch, i dont think new users should have to edit config files for important basic tasks [03:34] WebcamWonder: yes, i've seen it before, it might have been on nvidea's website [03:34] Lisa1: can you pastebin the entire output please [03:34] ok, I just enabled compositing in metacity (no nvidia drivers installed) and I got window drop shadows. How can I configure the effects now with metacity? [03:34] pangloss, operation not permitted [03:34] ziroday, Geforce Go, 6150 (crappy laptop card) [03:34] ziroday: the proprietary drivers.. should they be activated? Because even if they are I don't get to see anything about wireless in the networkmanager [03:34] hi [03:35] ziroday: I will flood the chat? [03:35] it's been a little buggy.

[03:36] hi, can anyone look please on http://paste.ubuntu.com/69449/ [03:36] pangloss, -r to make it recursive?

[03:37] Skry^: Because my battery life is much shorter after an upgrade to 8.10, and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with 3D acceleration. I disabled the effects, but I assume it's still using the same driver. [03:37] ziroday, no nothing [03:37] has anyone tried setting up an ubuntu pc with dial up modem using netzero isp for their parents? [03:37] rfxcasey: you are looking in the Section "Device" area correct? [03:37] ziroday: I have no 3D support and I also can not adjust brightnes [03:38] Lisa1: hmm well it appears you do have 3d support otherwise compiz shouldn't run [03:38] ziroday, yes the section device only says exactly what it typed to you [03:38] rfxcasey: okay, add the line Drivers "nvidia" [03:38] rfxcasey: then close and type in the terminal startx [03:38] ziroday, Found it! [03:39] WebcamWonder: great, sorry got sidetracked [03:39] ziroday, pangloss, Thank you [03:39] ziroday: Sure it mentions it, but I'm not very savvy on Ubuntu.. how do install such a package? It claims to be on the cd [03:39] ziroday: this is what chess says: unalbe to enable 3D mode, No Python OpenGL support, No Python GTKGLExt support, but more importantly I need to turn down the brightness before I go blind! [03:39] anyone use mac4lin theme? :) having issues making the panel look like leopard [03:39] roffe: can you hook your laptop up to an ethernet cable briefly? [03:39] Munchkinguy, now that you mentioned, i noticed that pulseaudio eats about 19-15% cpu on my acer aspire one if i'm watching movie or so. [03:39] hi how to i download x64 packages? is it the same as 32 bit ones? [03:39] ziroday: I'm on it now [03:40] Munchkinguy, sorry, 19 to 25%. [03:40] Lisa1: for the brightness I can't help you. Sorry [03:40] ziroday, how exactly should I type it [03:40] roffe: open a terminal and type in sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic [03:40] Ok, so is there a difference between the 177, and 173 drivers? [03:40] Skry^: I guess I'll stick with ALSA then. [03:40] Could someone help me, my screen goes dark when I watch movies. I have power management settings off. I can still hear sound and SSH to it, but the problem persist through restarting X as well. Only thing that helps is reboot. Please help me, it is driving me nuts [03:41] anyone here use 64 bit ubuntu? [03:41] rfxcasey: as Drivers "nvidia", with spaces between Drivers and "nvidia" to keep it in line [03:41] hi all, my Ubuntu Hardy just crashed out of the blue, and when I tried to reboot using ctrl+alt+backspace, it said "I/O Error - missing buffer on device sda1", and then when I tried to reboot completely from bios is told me that it couldn't find menu.lst - I'm booted up in XP now. Any help, please? [03:41] ziroday, are use sure it's Drivers and not Driver [03:41] tyl, Yes I do [03:41] Munchkinguy, yeah. but as for 3d, intrepid is using compiz by default. [03:41] ziroday: the 3D? and can you tell me how I can change setings of my graphics card? [03:41] rfxcasey: woops, drivers sorry [03:41] ziroday, the other things say driver not drivers [03:41] thanks a lot ziroday! I tried doing the same, but I forgot to write "install" :) [03:41] WebcamWonder: how do i install 64 bit packages? [03:41] Could someone help me, my screen goes dark when I watch movies. I have power management settings off. I can still hear sound and SSH to it, but the problem persist through restarting X as well. Only thing that helps is reboot. Please help me, it is driving me nuts. I got Xubuntu 32 bit on intel gma945 and C2D 1.8 ghz with 4 gb ram. Using intreprid [03:41] rfxcasey: I mean driver [03:42] How do you pipe the output of ALSA to a mic device? [03:42] ziroday, ok then [03:42] ziroday, how do I save this [03:42] is it exactly the same as 32 bit pakages? [03:42] tyl, Your repositories would be different. So you install it just like regular installation. sudo aptitude install [03:42] oh i see [03:42] WebcamWonder: if you look http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us your card doesn't appear [03:42] tyl, Scratch that. Repos are same, just there are different builds [03:42] anyone? [03:42] how do i know if i have installed the x64 version [03:42] Can someone please take a screenshot, save it, open the properties and check what it opens with? Or just tell me if you already know? My file associations are f'ed up bad and Im not sure how to fix them [03:43] please can somebody tell me can you use the gui in ubuntu to set up file systems on internal hard drives to automount? [03:43] WebcamWonder: wait in that case are the packages called different names? [03:43] ziroday, now I got no video signal to my monitor [03:43] ziroday, That is weird. On one of their changelogs, they say that my card's support is added [03:43] WIGGMPk: the default gnome screenshot app takes .png files [03:43] Munchkinguy, actually i'm not sure afterall if it's on by default :P check system > preferences > appearance > visual effects. if its something else than none, then it is. [03:43] ziroday: i know that, but what is .png file associate with? [03:43] Alfalfaz: you have to restore grub [03:43] tyl, No. The package names are same. However, your OS will automatically fetch the correct package based on your distrubution [03:43] WebcamWonder: you sure its a GeforceGo? [03:43] I have emerald themer and a theme installed in it, how to i use it, because i cant figure it out? [03:43] Does anyone know a FTP client for ubuntu server that would let me "bind" it to a certain interface ? [03:43] WIGGMPk: eye of gnome (eog) [03:43] ziroday: what command opens up the image previewer or whatever the default app is [03:44] ahh i see thx [03:44] pangloss: what? [03:44] ziroday, Yup. Re-read it once again just to be sure [03:44] !grub | Alfalfaz [03:44] Alfalfaz: 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 [03:44] WebcamWonder: but how do i tell if a package is the 64 bit version? [03:44] ziroday: thanks, you wouldnt happen to know how my file associates got screwed and how to fix them? [03:44] i have tried pysdm storage device manager [03:44] ziroday, I already have the drivers installed through Envy. But they are too buggy [03:44] WIGGMPk: nope [03:44] I have emerald themer and a theme installed in it, how to i use it, because i cant figure it out? [03:44] tyl, It usually has things appended to the name. E.g. x386 is 32 bit [03:44] Alfalfaz: your master boot record is borked. follow the RestoreGrub link [03:45] I just installed 8.10 desktop (64bit). When I apt-get install mdadm it wants to install citadel-server along with it. Why would a RAID tool need a Groupware Server? [03:45] tyl, Arghhh... i386... sorry [03:45] rfxcasey: erm try doing auto monitor adjust on your screen [03:45] ziroday, says fatal error no screens found [03:45] WebcamWonder: how do i call up the name and what is the 64 bit name? [03:45] rfxcasey: okay, above that anything? [03:45] anyone know any widget for ubuntu to show the weather ?) [03:45] tyl, Are you trying to install from the repositories? [03:45] sergiu: there is something called screenlets which does that [03:45] tyl; suppose u dont have reqd package for x64...and it available only for 32 bit....still u can forcibly install it...nd it works fyn [03:46] ziroday,thanks [03:46] ok I got most of my things working now, thanx everyone for their help as provided...Here is a fun one, what do I need to make the videos on NBC.com playable...i.e. Heroes episodes for example [03:46] ziroday, failed to load module vesa module does not exist adn it says no drivers availible [03:46] WebcamWonder: well some of the repositories that i maybe getting are not inside the official repos [03:46] anyone here running a Huawei E960 Wireless Gateway? === Greg is now known as Gregoryn === Gregoryn is now known as Greg [03:46] I have emerald themer and a theme installed in it, how to i use it, because i cant figure it out? [03:46] rfxcasey: but you said Driver "nvidia". Do you know how to pastebin your xorg.conf from the command line? [03:46] Led_Hed, it's dependency for something else. i have mdadm installed, no citadel-server anywhere [03:46] pangloss: I havent said I have lost windows [03:46] scotlfs: have you installed mozilla flash-plugin? === Greg is now known as Gregoryn [03:47] tyl, If they have the 64bit build, it would be present as the same package name. It is the job of apt-get to figure out the correct build for your pc. Normally there are about 5 different builds for 1 single package [03:47] dexter: i know that but i am trying to make sure all the packages are 64 bit on my server [03:47] pang: yes [03:47] tyl; u can install those softwares which are not in ur repos by adding the APT line [03:47] tyl;okk [03:47] Skry^, Its a clean install, why would Desktop want Citadel [03:47] Alfalfaz: I know, but your MBR is messed up if it cant find menu.lst [03:47] pangloss: yes I have [03:48] ok thx i'll go and test out stuff now [03:48] tyl;;; ur repos will contain automatically 64 bit.....unless u forcibly install 32-bit versions [03:48] ziroday: Painless installation. Works perfect! Thanks a lot. [03:48] pangloss: ? I think you are reffering to someone else [03:48] roffe: wonderful!

[04:08] dmraid [04:08] I have a core 2 duo. should i stick with the 32 bit ubuntu or 64 bit? [04:08] gavagai, depends how much RAM you have [04:08] good question. What benefit does 64-bit give, anyway? [04:08] 64 bit would prob be faster [04:08] I'll be using 4 gigs. [04:08] gavagai: you could use either (core 2 supports 64-bit). it depends on whether you need the benefits of 64-bit or not ;-) [04:09] What _are_ those benefits? [04:09] 64 bit is for prositutes [04:09] FAST? [04:09] DanaG: if you're just doing normal desktop work, not much. I use 64-bit because I do distributed computing and have an SSSE3-optimized client for it =/ [04:10] gavagai, i'd go with 64-bit, as you have 64-bit cpu and your gonna upgrade to 8 gigs anyways ;) [04:10] i have 2 gig ram [04:10] Thanks :D [04:10] i have 5 [04:10] :P [04:10] gavagai: stick with 32-bit, then [04:10] i have 6" [04:10] is root-on-LVM broken for anyone else in the latest intrepid kernel?

[04:27] Brucevdk, I am just a noob. But the man page of "cp" allows you to specify which attributes not to copy. It says you can specify permissions [04:27] WebcamWonder: uh huh, I don't control the end user (only the server) :-) [04:27] andrewfree_, No problem.

It works with localhost and 127.0.0.1, but does not work externally from the network i'm on. I have also forwarded the ports 80 and 433 to the server computer.

Hold on [04:33] Alfalfaz: in case of GNOME one thing I'd try was to login to the TTY on F1, then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:33] Its it in yum? WebcamWonder [04:34] Do i even have yum? [04:34] XD let me check [04:34] andrewfree_, YOu would have apt in Ubuntu. Hold on let me check [04:34] Brucevdk: I did that, still dark [04:34] now tty dissapeared..

I got Xubuntu 32 bit on intel gma945 and C2D 1.8 ghz with 4 gb ram. Using intreprid. [04:36] Myyoga: it's probably in your home folder.

Google search says that it isn't in repos [04:36] rww: thank you I will try that [04:36] Alfalfaz: does this only happen with XMBC? [04:36] Brucevdk: I hve also tried typing xset s noblank s 0 0 -dpms off [04:37] Brucevdk: yes [04:37] Alfalfaz: so you can play something with say VLC for example and it doesn't happen? It also doesn't happen automatically only when you play movies using XMBC?

[04:47] how to configure sound [04:48] I'd like to know the same thing, xjkx... [04:48] If i just select it does that apply it> [04:48] hellhound_: you could relatively easily write one yourself [04:48] andrewfree_, Yes [04:48] thanks ubottu [04:48] there's an outsource program I heard about in New Delhi...

I just want to hit a shortcut key (Super+S for example), select an area of screen, and then it would save it as a screenshot. any ideas what can do that ? [04:49] that appears to be the case, xjkx. How long have you been trying to figure it out. Sound on Linux is a mess, right now... [04:49] Brucevdk, how? [04:49] *figure it out? [04:49] hellhound_: Python + Google Search API [04:49] esac, I would first try google Notebook widget in your browser [04:49] could someone tell me how to execute this command: deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor main [04:50] Brucevdk, what is python? [04:50] Ok I Installed gpsdrive but when I try to run it I get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/69493/ [04:50] a very smart snake [04:50] ;) [04:50] hellhound_: it's a programming language :-) I might take back what I said about "relatively easy" [04:50] rsvp, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:50] could someone tell me how to execute this command: deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor main [04:50] I forget to add the smilely [04:50] hellhound_: it's relatively easy to hire someone to write you that program though [04:51] Brucevdk, LOL ok,but you do not know of a program that already exists right? [04:51] wos: open System > Admininstration > Software Sources. Click the "Third-Party Software" tab. Click Add.... Copy that line into the prompt that comes up, changing to whatever your distribution is (if you're not sure, ask and I'll show you how to find it).

So what do you have as your window decorations right now? [04:53] mintsoup: it's very variable in quality. Works fine for some people, doesn't work at all for others [04:53] storm-zen: not that long [04:53] apearance then like some osx looking one i found [04:53] mintsoup: It's non-free, closed-source software, so we can't improve it much :( [04:54] Brucevdk, trying it now. [04:54] esac: Anyway, gnome has a screen capture applet. [04:54] rww: do you think that hand-installing the package from adobe would be a worthwhile thing to do, or should i just try to use gnash or whatever that free version is.. [04:54] its a simple question i guess, but at this time people are sleeping or something [04:54] Hi; would anyone here happen to know why gproftpd (gadmin-proftpd) crashes automatically after opening? [04:54] WebcamWonder: Just a theme using the default window decorator [04:54] im needing some help, i tryed to upgrade to latest ubuntu server build, and the installion failed, ever since, my file system has become read only, iv been needing to remount the hdd each time the box restarts to get it working again, anyone help me fix this? [04:55] andrewfree_, hmm. Looking at my list. All my themes are vrunner based. [04:55] hi [04:55] xjkx: No, it's not really a simple question. [04:55] I have that engine [04:55] andrewfree_, Is there any particular you are looking at? [04:55] andrewfree_, theme* [04:55] storm-zen: why not :P [04:55] Any idea on fixes for the joystick issue plaguing 64bit versions of 8.10?

So is there a specific theme you are looking at? [04:58] mintsoup: you could try gnash, but it's kinda a mess. I'd go with flashplugin-nonfree as a first option, and possibly Adobe as a second option (though I haven't installed from Adobe's package before) [04:58] thank you very much rww [04:58] WebcamWonder, nope, just one that looks nice [04:58] !mount [04:58] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [04:58] how do I make my partitions mount automatically?

Are you on compiz? [05:01] Doonz, use elinks ;p [05:01] 0.o WebcamWonder not sure [05:02] mmm i have some problems with wallpaper-tray... does it use any acron thing? [05:02] I have mess up 3 dvdr trying to burn the Ubuntu 8.10 iso . One just burnt the file and it would not boot. I don't think getting a new dvd iso burning program would work . How would I fix the dvd burn drive itself. [05:02] was hoping someone could just point me to a post in the forum [05:02] My graphics card sucks and cant even use effects with compiz [05:02] lucax: no idea but I would guess not as that would be a silly design [05:03] and also if i've done the package installation libmsyql-java (j connector for mysql)... how would i adjust classpath to be set appropriately? "shell> export set CLASSPATH=/path/mysql-connector-java-[ver]-bin.jar:$CLASSPATH" [05:03] bruenig, i have it running, but doesnt change the wallpaper in the time i set [05:03] andrewfree, I don't know if you can use emerald without compiz or not.

[05:13] ahhh, lol. I was making it harder than it had to be [05:13] andrewfree, If you like some nice ones. There are some nice GTK2.0+ themes on gnome-look. [05:13] Desktop effects are overrated. :) [05:14] All you do is drag it, I'm an idiot [05:14] andrewfree, dr_willis, So true. I personally disabled them after 2 weeks, thinking why I should waste 1 second seeing my window minimize [05:14] thanx n8tuser [05:15] IDK about U, but I love the desktop effects [05:15] Better than mac and vista [05:15] WebcamWonder, or watch the 'wiggly windows' maxamize effect.. get stuck. and stay wiggling for 10+min. :) [05:15] how do i install psx and pcsx 2 ? [05:15] anyother app for changin wallpapers but wallpaper-tray?

Wobbly Windows is the worst plugin to be ever created in terms of regular day productivity :p [05:15] everytime i do something it says host not recognized or something like that. i thought the computer name was the hostname? [05:15] WebcamWonder, Yea pretty cool [05:16] ill wait for the cool stuff thou like wobbly windows when i get a new mobo and card [05:16] there are several compiz plugins though which I feel do improve the useability of gnome [05:16] russianphysicist-> open an xterm while on liveCD and get into root mode and type grub [05:16] Wobly windows made my wife Nausaus. :) [05:16] my wife hates wobbly windows with a passion [05:16] "Road Warrior" on spike tv [05:16] nehalem here i come =D thanks for the help WebcamWonder [05:16] Hi all, aside from getting a logitech squeezebox or something like that. Can anyone tell me if the sound quality in ubuntu compares to that of windows xp? [05:16] watch it noa! [05:16] dr_willis, Haha. No problem. Glad to help :) [05:16] sambagirl-> look at your entries in /etc/hosts [05:16] Im out!!! [05:17] dr_willis, That is a nice idea. Maybe I should turn that on, so I can get the PC to myself as well :p [05:17] JackWinter: I like the sound quality of Ubuntu. [05:17] off to solve css problems [05:17] J-a-k-e why wouldn't it?.. [05:17] andrewfree, Bye! [05:17] it says unable to resolve host jaguar [05:17] Anyone know anything about wireless internet security? [05:17] WebcamWonder, then i showed her the zoom.. so shes on it 2x as much now. [05:17] that is the hostname why is it not able to see itself? [05:17] xorlim, thats your auido card not the OS [05:17] andrewfree: yes. [05:17] dr_willis, TBH. I use the zoom instead of the flash fullscreen. Flash fullscreen actually drops FPS [05:17] wouldnt it be localhost? [05:17] seaoftea, care to ask the channel a bit more percise question? :) [05:17] lol [05:18] sambagirl-> are you trying to resolve a remote host? [05:18] WebcamWonder, yep. exact use - she uses it for [05:18] sambagirl-> look at your entries in /etc/hosts [05:18] no i am testing something in vmware using hardy and it just doesnt seem to be working properly for some reason.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:19] Hi......... [05:19] May I ask some question???

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:19] sorry [05:19] hey im having some problems lolanychance of a bit help please chmod 770 tmp/ is the command chmod: cannot access `tmp/': No such file or directory is the output and im in the :/var/www/htdocs/ossec-wui/tmp$ directory please bear in mind this is my first install of ossec < Yeah, I was just wondering how safe it is for me to have no encryption over my wireless network. I instead us mac address filters. I know that someone could easily spoof their mac address, but how like is that really? Also is there a way for them to scan for my mac address? [05:20] hi all, I'm trying to reinstall Grub but I keep on getting Error 15: file not fount. I'm not sure where to find my /boot, despite the numerous howtos on the forums. I'm on the LiveCD for 8.04 right now [05:20] I install xvnkb for key stroke management. [05:20] russianphysicist-> open an xterm while on liveCD and get into root mode and type grub [05:20] but i don't know how to disable autorun of this program [05:20] seaoftea, Encryption encrypts all your data as well. If you don't have any encrpytion, any sniffer could snif entire network packets. [05:20] Where I must check??? [05:21] seaoftea, And using the sniffing, extracting mac address is relatively painless. Just like spoofing your own mac address [05:21] crap [05:21] n8tuser: I've done that, and when I type "find /boot/grub/stage1" it returns error 15 file not found again (same for find /grub/stage1) [05:21] mncvn: is there an entry for it in /etc/rc2.d? [05:21] mintsoup: Maybe it's just my sound card because I've got a rather decent sound setup. Speakers and amp connected to my sound card and everything sounds great in windows xp. I tested in running oss4 it sounded ok but the difference was somewhat like going back to onboard sound [05:21] gadmin-tools help required; it crashes upon startup [05:22] may i be next please [05:22] russianphysicist-> which hd and partition is your /boot/grub/stage1 installed at? [05:22] the problem is I have so many devices, and some of them only accept certain encryption like wep, which is pointless because wep can be crack just as easy as having no encryption [05:22] Hello. I have a script that I use for backing up a remote server to my local machine. It uses rsync over ssh and works fine if I invoke it from a shell. If I attempt to invoke the backup script via cron by putting a script in /etc/cron.d/, it never executes. Any ideas? [05:22] n8tuser: that's the thing - I initially installed ubuntu from inside XP, so my only partition is /dev/sda1, and I don't know how to get at /boot [05:22] I've restarted cron. [05:22] tmpprob: it's /tmp [05:23] how do i find NetPacket for ubuntu? i cant find it in repos [05:23] seaoftea, The point is. Even for WEP. Someone has to spend 10 minutes cracking it. Open is, just open [05:23] ty bruce [05:23] yeah [05:23] russianphysicist-> installed ubuntu inside XP ? how? or are you referring to wubi? [05:24] what tmp folder bruce? [05:24] Venin-> do a apt-cache search netpacket assuming thats the name of the package [05:24] tmpprob: what are you trying to do? [05:24] I should probably encrypt, though I literally don't have anything to hide. And when ever I send anything like credit card numbers I only go through 128 bit ssl. === sonho_ is now known as sonho [05:24] tmpprob: chmod 770 tmp/ is the command chmod: cannot access `tmp/': No such file or directory is the output and im in the :/var/www/htdocs/ossec-wui/tmp$ directory [05:24] Hello [05:25] is what i tried first sorryr spam [05:25] what im trying to do is [05:25] n8tuser: tried that.. cant find it [05:25] 6- Fix the permissions for the tmp directory and restart Apache (for the new permissions to work) [05:25] Venin-> then maybe it does not exist or has a different name [05:25] n8tuser: no, I am not referring to wubi - I was in XP, and insterted the Ubuntu disk and installed it. from within XP. There is a c:/ubuntu which contains all the system files, but since they're in a different file system, windows can't see them, but since I created that while in XP, no partition editor sees it as a separate partition, so my only bootable partition is /dev/sda1, which is hpfs/ntfs [05:25] n8tuser: exactly.. [05:26] tmpprob: that's because you're inside tmp [05:26] seaoftea: What if someone uses your network to attack other networks or to send spam? [05:26] russianphysicist-> am not sure how you were even able to run the installation from within XP, lest you were using wubi [05:26] ah i see [05:26] tmpprob: try ../tmp [05:26] tmpprob: go up one directory and do it again [05:26] or do other illegal activities [05:27] hmmm [05:27] not good [05:27] Venin-> google for an equivalent name or functionality [05:27] im trying.. but cant find [05:27] hehe [05:27] !return | seaoftea [05:27] sorry, my network's such. [05:27] seaoftea: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:27] n8tuser: neither am I, but I know for a fact that what I was using then is not wubi, but a bona fide Ubuntu install disk [05:28] anyone know how to run alsa-config? [05:28] n8tuser: it's the same disk I'm booting off now [05:28] yeah, ok I'm definately going to encrypt [05:28] russianphysicist-> you meant you booted off a liveCD or the alternatecd ? [05:28] seaoftea: I use wep on my wireless, then openvpn on my clients so everything is really encrypted on wireless, even if they break the wep key they won't break openvpn [05:28] sorry.. alsa-info.. not config. [05:28] russianphysicist-> then if that is the same cd, then it is liveCD as you said earlier you are in livecd [05:28] !alsa [05:28] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [05:29] n8tuser: yes, I am in livecd, like I said above [05:29] hey guys. ive brought a dedicated server with webmin control panel, now i need to move my domains, but first i need to setup the nameservers or somthing... anyone can explain me what i should do ? godaddy dont allow me to redirect the dns servers of the domain to ip address... [05:29] Thanks 2 everbody for answering mine and everyone elses questions. With out you guys we'd all be left in the dark. [05:30] russianphysicist-> so go ahead and re-install the ubuntu [05:30] I need to remotely enable the standard Remote Desktop Connection via ssh -- anyone have any information on that? [05:30] seaoftea, dulak By the time you add the overhead of WEP, OpenVPN, the general suckiness of wireless, you'll have a blazing 14.4 dial-up connection :) [05:30] vlc player occasionally freezes the video and only sound is playing. I have to rewind a bit and it'll refresh. anyone have this problem? [05:30] lol [05:30] cilkay: I push 3M/sec across wireless with openvpn and wep [05:30] is it possible to use autoconf 2.61 or higher for Ubuntu 6.06? [05:31] 3 megabits? [05:31] I suppose what I'm really asking is does Ubuntu compare to windowsxp when it comes to high quality audio. Talking bookshelf speakers and amp connected to soundcard and active sub also connected to soundcard [05:31] n8tuser: I'm not particularly keen on losing all the files/settins/programs I've got set up, I was hoping there'd be a way to do it without reinstalling the whole thing [05:31] russianphysicist-> do a fdisk -l and tell me the results [05:32] J-a-k-e: You know about the UbuntuStudio project? [05:32] russianphysicist-> btw, this a new install today? [05:32] DallasG, I sort of did that once on a remote box. by first installing vnc and running gnome inside that vnc session. then i enabled the desktop shareing and set it to always be on , and autologing in. Then once i reset the box. it would auto login to that user and have remote desktop going. [05:32] bruse if i showed you some tutorial text could you help me it is alot easier then me a ubuntu newb trying to explain it [05:32] could gproftpd problem have something to do with something i have read: Contents-amd64 ? [05:32] *bruce [05:32] tmpprob: sure I've got a few minutes [05:32] I tried adding vnc4server [05:32] I connected, but it was just at command line [05:32] What would I do after that? [05:32] DallasG, I dont know the name of the control panel to enable it from the terminal. [05:32] # vi /etc/group .. From: ossec:x:1002: To (if your web server user is www): ossec:x:1002:www is what i done [05:33] Does anyone know of any prog with all of the features of ksynaptics for gnome? Gsynaptics is missing quite a few. [05:33] 5- Add your web server user (apache, www or nobody) to the ossec group: [05:33] A preseed file that I used with Hardy doesn't point an Intrepid install the right mirror and it still stops for a user when it's not supposed to. Did something change? [05:33] DallasG, you must edit the .vnc/xstartup script to run the gnome-session , then quit/restart the vnc4server [05:33] the above text [05:33] okay, thanks :) [05:33] n8tuser: no, not a new install, I've had it installed for months now, and I didn't do anything when ubuntu crashed, it just sort of stopped working completely randomly, all the programs just crashed and cpu went to 100% [05:33] seaoftea: 300k/sec or better usually with openvpn and wep [05:33] 6- Fix the permissions for the tmp directory and restart Apache (for the new permissions to work) [05:33] DallasG, vncserver is a bit 'tricky' in that it doese4nt install a totally useable setup [05:33] is it possible to use autoconf 2.61 or higher for Ubuntu 6.06? [05:33] # chmod 770 tmp/ # chgrp www tmp/ # apachectl restart [05:33] tmpprob: you'll probably want to link or pastebin to the instructions [05:33] cilkay: I've read a little bit about it but always assumed it's more for people who want to do audio recording and such. I'm mostly just looking to play music here [05:34] http://www.ossec.net/wiki/index.php/OSSECWUI:Install [05:34] its a shiot install [05:34] n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m76111bf0 [05:34] short [05:34] centaur5: You're probably better off asking on #ubuntu-installer [05:34] is oss4 a better option for ubuntu intrepid? I'm hitting all kinds of dead ends with alsa. [05:34] but im having some problems [05:34] cilkay: Thanks, I didn't know about that channel. [05:35] russianphysicist-> i dont believe ubuntu got installed [05:35] dulak: thats not bad, but I can pull down 800-850kb/s if I'm near the router [05:35] n8tuser: I've been booting into it since june... [05:35] thats with no encryption [05:35] I want to install software for my webcam, there seem to be a lot of choices of packages, and I don't know which I need...I want to take still pictures, movies, and chat with skype for example....any recommendations? [05:35] centaur5: I had a bunch of preseed questions a few weeks ago and asked here, on the mailing list, and on the forum. The only place I ever got useful, if any, answers was on #ubuntu-installer [05:35] russianphysicist-> on same hd? or a another one? [05:35] !webcam | scotlfs [05:35] scotlfs: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [05:35] n8tuser: on this hd, this computer, this setup, everything [05:36] ubottu: thanx [05:36] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [05:36] tmpprob: ok well, the user for apache is 'www-data' not www, the command to restart Apache 2 is sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [05:36] lol [05:36] cilkay: Are you preseeding Intrepid? [05:36] seaoftea: I can pull that anywhere in my house if I turn openvpn off [05:36] lol, thanx pangloss [05:36] J-a-k-e: My Kubuntu system sounds great playing MP3, movies, and streaming radio. No complaints. [05:36] right [05:36] ahhhhh [05:36] russianphysicist-> it does not seem like it, you dont show other partitions that is linux compatible, per your paste [05:36] centaur5: No, and I probably won't since I'm only interested in LTS for now. [05:36] I get this message when trying to do this command: [05:36] ok thanks bruce [05:36] seaoftea: I'm just saying with openvpn and wep, I get 300k/sec, which isn't horrible for a fully encrypted wireless link [05:36] is it possible to use autoconf 2.61 or higher for Ubuntu 6.06? [05:36] grant@monster:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda6 /home/grant/files && chown grant:users /home/grant/files [05:36] tmpprob: np [05:37] chown: changing ownership of `/home/grant/files': Operation not permitted [05:37] that really not bad [05:37] cilkay: Alright, it's just odd I've been preseeding since Edgy and now it doesn't work. :( [05:37] grant931: use sudo === Guest1511 is now known as Jacobbs [05:37] it is a FAT32 FS, what is going on? [05:37] seaoftea: it would be a lot better if I moved openvpn off my linksys router and onto an actual computer [05:37] I did [05:37] pangloss, I have a dynex (cheapo best buy brand), have any clue what it really is? [05:37] grant@monster:~$ sudo chown grant:users /home/grant/files [05:37] chown: changing ownership of `/home/grant/files': Operation not permitted [05:37] seaoftea: but my linksys router with the 16mhz cpu gives me 300k, which is fine for anything I care to encrypt [05:37] centaur5: some of the apps that we depend on haven't been ported to KDE 4 yet so we'll wait until they are before making the leap from Kubuntu Hardy. [05:38] dulak: yeah but who wants a big ol box for a router [05:38] how can I close an X display from the terminal? [05:38] ie. display 3 [05:38] so what is going on? [05:38] seaoftea: I have a linux workstation I could put openvpn on for this, but meh, 300k is fine for hitting a bank site or whatever I need to do with full encryption [05:38] cilkay: Well thanks for the heads up. Good luck with KDE it seems to be a mess right now. [05:38] grant931: can you try removing the :users part? thats the only thing that seems wierd [05:38] centaur5: Actually, what works is working very well. It's just missing some bits. [05:38] cilkay: what kind of setup do you have in the way of speakers and soundcard? [05:39] right [05:39] Can someone help me? I just installed Ubuntu on a Mac Mini and it just sits at a blank screen with a flashing underline in the upper left corner. [05:39] I can't type or anything. [05:39] same error [05:39] J-a-k-e: Onboard AC97 sound card. External Polk speakers - nothing fancy. I've run XP on the same machine and certainly didn't notice any change one way or the other. [05:40] seaoftea: openvpn can work on windows and mac too, I have it on my g/f mac and my roommate's windows lappy [05:40] seaoftea: it's quite nifty imo [05:40] centaur5: Can you pastebin the relevant bits from your preseed file? I'll compare to what I have to see if there's anything obvious. [05:41] grant931: that really doesnt make sense.. who owns the /files? try the -v option maybe it will give you more info [05:41] I don't have an open router so I can't tinker, just your standard fair [05:41] n8tuser: any more advice/ideas, or are you giving up? [05:41] problem with vmnet config files i can't get networking going on any vmware appliances [05:42] at least it has decent QOS though [05:42] seaoftea: do you have a linux workstation? You can endpoint openvpn into any linux and just nat the tunnel interface out through the wire [05:42] Ubuntu 8.10, server and desktop installed: lamp server installed; proftpd installed; I can open all of gadmin programs; all but ONE; gadmin-proftpd; it crashes when opening; any kind of help is very appreciated! [05:43] cilkay: http://pastebin.com/d6d1ba8e [05:43] russianphysicist-> if your fdisk -l does not show your partition, dont know what else we can do.. [05:43] cilkay: Well that's odd, I've got mission bookshelf speakers and creative x-fi sound card. Sound in ubuntu compared to Xp is muddy, and flat [05:43] dulak: I'm soley a laptop guy, though I do have a qnap ts101 NAS that runs busybox. I might be able to go through that some how. [05:43] hi guys [05:43] !hi | hot_wheelz [05:43] hot_wheelz: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:44] cilkay: I do PXE installs with the alternate CD and it still stops me for the user also all the packages for the install are downloading every single time from the US mirror which is definitely not what I want. [05:44] what is the default collation for a mysql db? [05:44] utf8-general-ci? [05:44] I'll have to look into it, though it wouldn't solve my wireless encryption problem [05:44] On logout, GUI stops working. I get the sense that gdm might be doing something funky, but am not sure. How can I fix this? [05:44] billybigrigger-> you can ask at #mysql [05:44] n8tuser: alright thanks for your time, I'll keep looking! [05:44] J-a-k-e: With what input? It could be a codec issue. Have you tried playing a CD? [05:45] anyone know if the wifi on a LG XNOTE LE50 series laptop works ootb in 8.10? [05:45] Ubuntu won't boot. It just sits at a starting prompt....thingy. [05:45] seaoftea: busybox probably won't have the stuff you'd need for openvpn, you need openssl and zlib libs [05:45] centaur5: Interesting that your file is generated via kickstart configurator. That has never worked for me. [05:46] russianphysicist-> okay, are you sure you have the correct hd ? [05:46] centaur5: I (painfully) modified the example file. [05:46] !grub | spolvid [05:46] spolvid: 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 [05:46] n8tuser: I've only got one internal hd :-) === Homicidal is now known as Vienna [05:46] centaur5: And that's not really a preseed file. That's a kickstart file. [05:46] hot_wheelz, ive never seen a wireless card work OOTB.. but ive only messed with like 5 different laptops.. There may be some out there.. [05:46] cilkay: Yeah, I used Kickstart ever since Edgy and have been doing PXE installs. [05:46] russianphysicist-> what have you done before this ? [05:47] cilkay: I thought Kickstart was just creating a preseed. What's the difference? [05:47] networkmanager is a support nightmare heh. [05:47] yeah it has a custom kernal on it, with rtorrent, openssl, and some other nifty things so it would be probable as it'll run any optware packages [05:47] Soy nuevo en esto,porfavor pueden ayudarme ainstalar beryl en mi xubuntu [05:47] centaur5: kickstart seems to be half-baked in K/Ubuntu. I'm also doing PXE installs but with a real preseed file. I point to an apt-cacher local cache. Saves a lot of bandwidth. [05:48] alguien en español por favor [05:48] !es > juank [05:48] juank, please see my private message [05:48] !es > Vienna [05:48] Vienna, please see my private message [05:48] cilkay: I'm running oss4. I tried amarok and various other music players to play mp3s. Also tried a few movies, I'm assuming it's rubbish driver issue on creative's part. Would be interesting to hear if other sound cards such as m-audio or asus have this problem. [05:48] cilkay: The only time I was able to point to apt-cacher was with Feisty. I really liked that though cause I didn't have to apt-get upgrade after the install. [05:48] !es > canthony [05:48] canthony, please see my private message [05:48] n8tuser: nothing, it was sitting, there, the only programs I had running were liferea, thunderbird, firefox, and foobar2k through wine, and when I got up to look something up on wikipedia Ubuntu had crashed completely [05:48] icemanv9»» puede porfavr ayudarme con mi problema en xubuntu [05:49] is there some software like thurder ? [05:49] cilkay: Would you mind letting me see the difference with your preseed file vs. kickstart? [05:49] Which one of the following folders controls file associations for mime types ".gconf .gconfd .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private .local .metacity .nautilus" Your help is very appreciated..... [05:49] !es [05:49] 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. [05:49] swt, its very likely that most people in here have no idea what 'thurder' is [05:49] problem with vmnet config files i can't get networking going on any vmware appliances [05:49] centaur5: The syntax of the file is different. preseed is the "native" Debian way. It's much more powerful, apparently, but it's more complex and its documentation is spotty. Kickstart is a "foreign" method adapted from Red Hat. It's very well-documented. [05:49] russianphysicist-> and you have more than one partition? [05:49] this is all i get Could not open /dev/vmnet8: No such file or directory [05:49] Failed to connect virtual device Ethernet0. [05:49] can i save to docx format in OO3 or OO2.4 [05:49] centaur5: I'll paste it. [05:49] juank: /join #xubuntu [05:49] ahhhh muchas gracias icemanv9 [05:50] does anyone know what kinda card\chipset those things run?...my guess is probaly broadcom...all the documention I have seen on them is in Korean i think [05:50] it is a very big source under windows ,like emule [05:50] n8tuser: apparently not, although when in windows it doesn't see the 30gb which are not ntfs [05:50] dr_willis [05:50] cilkay: I've also been trying to find an easy way to customize default theme and wallpaper but every package people have created only does it for live CDs. I wish there was an easier way to do OEM installs. [05:51] swt, that means very little to me. sorry. [05:51] well I've gotta find some new wallpaper, thanks for teh help everybodies [05:51] russianphysicist-> that does not seem right, what you pasted shows 78gb [05:51] thank you also [05:51] cilkay: Well, PXE is the ultra easy way when it doesn't change. On one of the new releases they changed the xinetd package they were using for PXE to work. [05:51] centaur5: It sounds like we should be collaborating. I too have a bunch of things on my wishlist. The way that I'm thinking of dealing with what you just said is to use KDE's kiosk tool and cfengine. [05:52] which country are you in dr_willis [05:52] n8tuser: right, because from inside ubuntu, it sees the entire hd, the ntfs part too, the entirety of which is 80gb [05:52] n8tuser: but when in Windows, it returns the size of c:\ as being about 50gb [05:53] hi .. i seem to have a problem replying to mail thru hotmail .. everytime i log in to hotmail it says i need to update mozilla .. and i download it and install and it still wont fix the problem that i cant reply to any message .. how do i fix this ? its really important i get to access my mail and reply [05:53] Anyone know what happened with pidgin after the last update? [05:53] swt, USA. [05:53] anyone know is i can save to docx format, not just read it [05:53] russianphysicist-> run gparted from that livecd and see if shows same [05:53] centaur5: I think it'll be very difficult to preseed everything 100%. Besides, even if you get it right now, what happens when you need to make a few changes? You don't necessarily want to have to do preseed installations for a few trivial changes but you also don't want to do those changes manually across an entire network of machines either. [05:53] Has anyone gotten the "create a usb startup disk" thing to work yet? [05:53] n8tuser: it does. [05:53] jackbeslow: yes [05:53] Every time I try it it dies on me, and then it tells me to look at the log...and the log does not show any errors [05:53] jackbeslow, it worked for me also. i havent tested it a lot however. [05:53] ok back [05:53] vegombrei: what version of firefox are you using? [05:54] pangloss: 3.03 [05:54] centaur5: For that reason, I've decided to get the machine to the point where KDE and most, if not all, of the apps are installed. One of those apps will be cfengine. I'll then deploy changes based on machine class via cfengine. Those changes will be kept under version control in Subversion. [05:54] oh i like usa ,i am a chinese ,how about your life under the finacial crsis? [05:54] vegombrei: well you cant possibly upgrade any more than that.... [05:54] when i itype in sudo bash it says sudo: unable to resolve host jaguar. i am not online at the moment. should hostname default to localhost or loopback address? [05:54] maxxist: you at the keys?? [05:55] russianphysicist-> reboot and rerun same commands see if you get same numbers [05:55] swt: if you want to chat, open up a private message [05:55] joot yeah. any luck man? [05:55] nopw i am log'd in as root@jaguar but i dont understand this inability to resolve the host name. [05:55] does anyone think they can figure out the problem by looking at my logs? [05:55] cilkay: Well the only difference I have is when I install a machine for myself and somebody else. Otherwise there are no changes but it sounds like you're doing something much more complex and cool. :) [05:55] n8tuser: alright, I'm going to try running a chkdsk from windows too - thanks for the help! [05:55] sambagirl, you have a bad hosts file, or your localhost name in your hosts file doesnt match your hostname [05:55] when in battery mode my laptops fans are not turning on at all .. serious overheating issues happening ... can anyone help ? [05:56] centaur5: Mine is for a school lab so ~ 50 machines at once. [05:56] sambagirl, So, basically any sudo command, looks up your hostname? [05:56] i suppose it must.l webcamwonder [05:56] swt: I am feeling preety good about my situation of course i am still figurativle under my Fathers roof seein as to the fact that he sends me the money and i pay the bills. [05:56] maxxist: No so I installed linux mint on the same computer and it flew inBUT it did report a corrupt section in the ubuntu made partion so that was odd [05:56] can anyone tell me is the Brother MFC 260C detects properly in ubuntu 8.10. Or can advise me of a tutorial for install [05:57] sambagirl, Been there. Done that. When not on Internet, it is a pain. Regular sudo commands can take about 2 minutes to execute [05:57] i probably need to do a native install and forget about vmware. [05:57] looks like the chipset is from a company called qcom anyone know it? [05:57] ahh ok [05:57] again i am in a vertual machine too. [05:57] !printer | pretender [05:57] pretender: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [05:57] sambagirl, 127.0.0.1 will say localhost, but many times another entry, 127.0.1.1 will exist that should say your hostname NOT localhost [05:57] sambagirl, I fixed it by adding my hostname to the /etc/hosts, and giving it the loopback 127.0.0.1 ip address. I don't know about your setting [05:57] joot like a bad sector on the drive? or something you can just format away? [05:58] sambagirl, if it doesnt match the hostname of the machine sudo fails [05:58] so many people on this server -_-! [05:58] ahh yes i noticed that it didnt like me to use 127.0.0.1 as loopback url [05:58] scuwolf, and its a slow day [05:58] so that is why it uses 1.1? [05:58] sambagirl, I think 127.xxx.xxx.xxx is all loopback [05:59] maxxist: Just format away but it is coming from the ibex install some how, Maybe it is a random bug [05:59] cilkay: So if preseeding is more powerful maybe I'll be able to automate partitioning. Kickstart is limited in that area. [05:59] everytime I try to make the usb startup disk it gets to 11% and dies on me [05:59] WebcamWonder, yes that is true but i think there is some hackich reason the 1.1 address exists [05:59] still no help concerning gproftpd!!!; i gave up a while back on this ever since this and other issues had occured; could i also quickly ask what is that command to check the ip addresses? [05:59] yes i was just told that just now [05:59] joot i still think it was your install disc somehow. did you try to download the alternate disc and reinstall? [05:59] centaur5: You can certainly automate partitioning. You'll see when I paste my file, which I'm doing now. [05:59] sambagirl, WebcamWonder at any rate the true hostname must exist somewhere on 127.0.0.0/8 [05:59] so do you force it? [06:00] I was having troubles with Pulse Audio on 64 bit xubuntu, so I've removed it in favor of Alsa - how can I have X use this as opposed to Pulse (which it seems to continue to attempt to use). Audio works in console, but if I'm in X, it errors out complaining of failed pulse audio output. [06:00] cilkay: Kickstart allows partitioning but it's done their way which is double the RAM for swap which just isn't necessary nowadays. :) [06:00] itsays unknown host when i type ping 127.0.0.0/8 [06:00] sambagirl, what is the output of `hostname` in a terminal [06:00] anyone know what the initial login password is for vmware-server 2.0 web access [06:00] hello all [06:00] canthony, sambagirl, Yup. Just wanted to let you know that I had a similar problem, and fixed it by adding my hostname "my-laptop" with 127.0.0.1 to my /etc/hosts [06:00] joot which file system type did you use ext3? [06:00] maxxist: Yes I did fight after I talked with you but the same problem resulted so that is a consant on four cd's [06:01] how come mysql automatically creates my db's and tables with the collation of latin1_swedish_ci i have my language set to english and my charset MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) [06:01] maxxist: Yes ext3 [06:01] now it asks if i want to ping broadcast with a -b [06:01] sambagirl, sorry 127.0.0.0/8 is prefix notation for ip addresses, it just means 127.x.x.x [06:01] ahh ok [06:01] anyone else having a problem with sound after doing the update in intrepid? [06:01] maxxist: and a linux swap [06:01] centaur5: You can specify whatever you want in kickstart too, at least on Red Hat systems. Anyway, here you go: http://pastebin.com/d482656ca [06:01] crazz yes but it's just lower volume than usual [06:02] so what do you put in there? [06:02] joot wow. thats crazy. i could suggest something even crazier. download a copy of hardy. format all the partitions. and install hardy. then when hardy is installed. do a update-manager -d [06:02] is there anyone want to talk?i am waiting>_< [06:02] 127.0.1.1 jaguar [06:02] in hosts? [06:02] joot its a little extreme. [06:02] crazz, I certainly am, pulseaudio never worked for me, since intrepid ALSA does not work either and I am back to OSS [06:02] well my issue is i updated after install a fresh intrepid on my compaq presario 2500 when i tried to restart the laptop it locked on shut down as the part where it says shutting down alsa [06:02] swt: this is a support channel, not a leisure chat channel [06:02] sambagirl, you need to get the value of `hostname` in a terminal, and make sure that whatever it is exists in your /etc/hosts file under either 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.1.1 you may need to use a live cd if you havent set a root password [06:03] is audio in 8.10 a common complaint? I did a fresh install today and it's bunk [06:03] jackbeslow: how did you fix the no sound issue using oss [06:03] cilkay: Wow, much larger file than mine. :) [06:03] maxxist: That is how I usually do it but I got this windows computer and thought it would be an easy install :-)) [06:03] !offtopic | swt [06:03] swt: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:03] sambagirl: issue this command in a terminal window hostname [06:03] anyone ever tie wlan0 in with vmnet [06:03] sorry i am new here,but i want to share some experiences [06:04] centaur5: I just modified the example file. [06:04] I just used the sound preferences panel and switched everything to OSS and then specified it explicitly in all my apps that did not respect that configuration [06:04] well it says 127.0.0.1 localhost in host file [06:04] so iwas adding line 127.0.1.1 jaguar [06:04] sambagirl, localhost is not your actual HOSTNAME though [06:04] centaur5: The only thing that doesn't work is the last bit where I attempt to upload my public key onto the freshly-installed system. Otherwise, it all works. [06:04] my comp locks at the alsa shut down everytime [06:04] joot let me tell you man. 8.10 hasnt been all that nice to me either. and I have been using ubuntu full time since warty. and before that i was a redhat user for 6 years [06:05] cilkay: Looks great though. This way I can use apt-cacher which is what I wanted in the first place. I don't know why my kickstart file was only able to do that with only Feisty.

[06:06] where can i define which applications i want to start when i start ubuntu? [06:06] would it hurt to remove the also drivers and if not how would i go about doing that? [06:06] for example pidgin and skype [06:06] centaur5: One tip with apt-cacher that will save you hours: put "path_map = ubuntu archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" in /etc/apt-cacher/apt-cacher.conf Otherwise, it's pretty much standard apt-cacher. [06:06] is it possible to save to the DOCX format and not just read it [06:06] pw-toxic, System -> Preferences -> Session, for user wide [06:06] pw-toxic: System >> Prefs >> session [06:06] maxxist: I am pretty used to ubuntu now so I will probably go back to Hardy it is a lts so it will last a bit yet [06:06] first: How can I change the kernel from generic to the specific for my computer???

Card (Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100) seems to be working and driver iwlagn is attached. I have a wlan0 interface. The Gnome Network Manager (which I had to install) doesn't seem to offer any way to connect to a wireless network, just an entry "[-] Wireless Connection / Roaming Mode enabled" [06:07] how do i change a users password? [06:07] JackWinter: sorry, wrong nick completion :/ [06:07] ok [06:07] mintsoup i havent used it for any wireless yet. but the network manager has been a horror for me. it kept on switching numbers and removing numbers from my manually entered static ip info. on two seperate computers. [06:07] cilkay: What is the purpose of that line? [06:07] done i noticed there is no save for pico [06:07] How do I make the connection?

[06:08] centaur5: It maps the longer URL to the shorter one. It's what I had to do in order to make it work on the clients. [06:08] joot imho ubuntu is still the best distro avail. [06:08] chilli0, xdpyinfo |grep pixels [06:08] jackbeslow: would it hurt to remove the alsa drivers and if not how would you do so?

[06:09] amiga has opus [06:09] sambagirl, CTRL + X [06:09] sambagirl: ctrl+x [06:09] sambagirl what about kate [06:09] centaur5: One thing that I've had trouble with that I still don't have a good answer on is that Xorg doesn't auto-detect the very vanilla graphics chipsets and video cards we have on some machines. The resolution will be wacky and I'll have to run xfix or such. [06:09] cilkay: Oh, you mean to get the clients to use the apt-cacher server instead of direct? [06:09] please, some help here [06:09] nevermind ;) [06:10] centaur5: yes [06:10] sambagirl: It's called "Write Out" Ctrl+O, I think :) [06:10] sambagirl: ctr +x [06:10] i forgot hte shift key [06:10] or ctrl [06:10] centaur5: That line goes on the *server* though.

[06:39] so dr willis your saying is better to use serial on ubuntu server for fax [06:39] ty!, lets see [06:39] WebcamWonder: yes it would but it didnt work.. i used " instead and it works [06:39] Alright. [06:39] scunizi: I haven't had a hotmail account for ages.. used to have kissmyhairya55@hotmail.com, not sure if it still works [06:39] pw-toxic, Glad to you know are way ahead than me :) [06:40] WebcamWonder: now synergy-start starts my synergy server ;) [06:40] timreichhart, I found that real serial modems - worked muchbetter.. since in most cases they were not win-modems [06:40] !offtopic | zcat[1] [06:40] zcat[1]: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:40] pw-toxic, Awesome! [06:40] timreichhart, finding a linux compatiable modem - can often be the issue. [06:40] WebcamWonder: do you konw some programs that add more information to my gnome taskbars? .. cpu ram etc.. ? [06:40] WebcamWonder: some hardware information [06:40] is solaris the same as ubuntu? [06:41] army12bc: no ;) [06:41] army12bc: no [06:41] looks the same [06:41] army12bc: both unix variants [06:41] army12bc, Gnome/kde look the same... they run under BSD also.. :) [06:41] pw-toxic, right click on the panel, you can get many otpions to add. I have the dictionary, CPU Frequency Scaling monitors for my both cores, and 5 sensor readings :) [06:41] army12bc, Looks mean very little. [06:41] hey. i did a mx record, a record and zone record for a domain, but once i try to move the domain to the server at go daddy i get "name server is not registered" ... do i need to wait or i did somthing in the config bad? [06:41] Hmmm, I need to go through my big box of 'unsupported' modems and see if any of them have support since Intrepid came out [06:41] dr_willis: lol, are you neurotic?... Gnome/KDE have little in common [06:41] pw-toxic, You need to install "lm-sensors" (I forget, I am not sure) to get the abiulity to add sensors [06:42] IndyGunFreak, On solaris they look the same as if they were on Linux - is what i ment. [06:42] ic.. sorry.. [06:42] :) [06:42] dr_willis: but when you try to reply to a msg it wont let you .. have u successfully replied to email thru hotmail ? [06:42] kde? [06:42] WebcamWonder: haha the "eyes" are funny ;) [06:42] !kde | army12bc [06:42] army12bc: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

[06:43] the kbd on my ltop stopped working - heeelp+++ [06:43] so the difference is not in the desktop but in the kernel or file system? [06:43] zcat[1]: can you help me get my browser to work fine with hotmail ? how do i break the browser string like u said earlier ? [06:43] joot: eventually.. burned three coasters, it seems the drive in mandela is busted. Put the iso on a different machine and it was all ok [06:43] army12bc: yes [06:44] using kvkbd... [06:44] vegombrei: in the address bar type "about:config" (without the quotes) [06:44] pw-toxic, Ok, I am leaving. Anything else?

[06:45] vegombrei: say you'll be careful... [06:45] army12bc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix [06:45] Does anyone know that thunderbird has a "killfile" feature? (Or in plugins) [06:46] tanks again [06:46] Indygunfreak: not as far as I know but there is an unstable that I did not feel like challenging after my 8.10 failed four times [06:46] vegombrei, the editing dialogs/boxs on hotmail do seem to be broken. at least on one browser of my 4 machines.. that is weird. [06:46] vegombrei: and search for 'useragent' -- not sure what you need to change, probably change 'ubuntu' to 'windows XP' or something [06:47] joot: wow, 4x? I installed 8.10 on 2 PC's, 1 Laptop, and 1 eee.. None had a problem except the laptop, which for some reason I got a grub error(easily fixed).. other than that, all went very wel. [06:47] WebcamWonder: no i'm leaving too [06:47] WebcamWonder: 7:47 here.. time to go to bed [06:47] joot: no more workshops until next year I think, but ou know my number.

[06:53] like that [06:53] pretty much [06:54] hello, can someone give me some help on upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid with an encrypted filesystem? I'm having difficulty with initramfs [06:54] dr_willis: the might of mega sys Hey what [06:54] zcat[1]: SAYS A LONG LIST OF STUFF IN ABOUT:CONFIG .... i cant understand it [06:54] the keyboard on my laptop stopped working - heeelp!!! [06:55] vegombrei: where it says 'filter' up near the top, type 'useragent' in there and you'll get only the useragent settings [06:55] reinstall driver heret1c [06:55] vegombrei: not actually sure what to change it to though [06:56] army- how? [06:56] army12bc: that only works on windows ;-) [06:56] lol [06:56] Is there somewhere a advanced tutorial or howto for iptables which includes mac filtering an port redirecting and limited access from certain ips [06:56] zcat[1]: couldn't he use the user agent switcher as well? [06:56] paul68 yes there is [06:56] ziroday: yeah, or that [06:56] i forget where tho [06:57] I accidentally picked wrong geographic location during install, is there anyway to fix that without doing a clean install? [06:57] !iptables | paul68 [06:57] paul68: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [06:57] using kvkbd to type. slow. [06:58] how can I use SCIM/SKIM on KUBUNTU intrepid ? [06:58] * army12bc slaps ubottu around a bit with a large trout [06:58] sudo apt-get install opera didn't work how do I change my repositories so that it will? [06:58] i'm trying to use aptoncd to create a cd with packages that i want to distribute. i created on such cd and when i inserted it into a system with a fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 the autorun said "Error autorunning software" and under it "cannot find the autorun program". is there a better way to do this? [06:58] there is no tutorials about it, I've heard is integrated already, but where ? [06:58] Mo0oSaH: It looks like you can add your own location in Clock Preferences, if you know your Timezone, latitude and longitude... [06:58] ardchoille: that covers only the basics [06:58] zcat[1], theres some firefox user agent extensions that may be helpfull.. Testing some other firefox's and this issue is only happening to me under ubuntu's - not sure if its a useragent issue at all. [06:58] paul68: :( [06:59] storm-zen: I did that, but for everything it uses that location... such as for chosing the server to download updates from.. I changed the things that I know but Its annoying to see canada for everything when i live in Texas [06:59] zcat[1], may be easier to just go grab Opera. :) [06:59] Where abouts does Ubuntu hide its trash folder? [07:00] Mo0oSaH: Where, in TX? Austin, here. [07:00] !opera [07:00] opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [07:00] blankthemuffin: ~/.local/Trash [07:00] !gpg [07:00] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard.

[07:01] ~/.Trash (on dapper) [07:01] storm-zen: I go to UT, live around west campus area. [07:02] Mo0oSaH: storm-zen: you can meet a whole bunch more texans in #ubuntu-us-tx [07:02] I'll look with you for a bit, and see if I can figure something out. Awesome. I'm in the wells branch area. I'll have to check that out, then. [07:02] zcat[1], even under Opera - the hotmail reply page/dialog box's are miss-sized... :) isent MS great! [07:02] !test | mo0oSaH [07:02] mo0oSaH: sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [07:02] A question, if I just go in there and rm -rf everything in the files and info directory will that break anything. The reason I'm doing this is because it's failing to remove some items. [07:03] gotta love the bot [07:03] army12bc: ?

[07:04] aaaaaaaaaarggg: unclick it? [07:04] blankthemuffin: my bad [07:04] blankthemuffin: that's what I generally do.. [07:04] ?? [07:05] admin_masu3701: totem comes by default in ubuntu, but make sure you have the codecs installe [07:05] !botabuse | army12bc [07:05] army12bc, please see my private message [07:05] am installing ubuntu 8.10 on a machine that has vista. the ubuntu installatation will be on the second physical drive (sdb), while vista is on the first (sda). The bios is set to use sdb as the first boot device, so I can use GRUB to choose os on boot. I want Grub on the sdb drive to preserve the vista loader on sda. Question: What do I choose in the advanced options for the boot loader: sda, sda1, sdb, sdb1? thanks for any help [07:05] blankthemuffin: the other thing you can do is chmod/chown -R everything, then you can delete it via the GUI again [07:05] !pm | aaaaaaaaaarggg [07:05] aaaaaaaaaarggg: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [07:05] aaaaaaaaaarggg: and no, not that I am aware of [07:06] * aaaaaaaaaarggg sorry folks... 1st time here [07:06] zcat[1], sweet thanks. All gone. :D [07:06] why is he purple? [07:06] slope, just install grub to sda [07:06] army12bc: that is set by your IRC client [07:06] army12bc: it a comment [07:07] what is action? that is why he purple [07:07] how u do that? [07:07] slope: i've never had luck putting grub anywhere but on the masterdisk.. no matter what the boot order [07:07] * dr_willis is not purple [07:07] army12bc: by doing /me something [07:07] * army12bc test [07:07] * dr_willis is using the /me command :) [07:07] lol ag [07:08] btw irc commands and ubuntu its a wonder u all even know anything else than script? [07:08] I prefer not to install grub to sda, so If I remove this physical drive I can still boot w/ the vista loader. I can do this by installing each OS with the drive removed during install, then editing menu.list, but I have both in and figure it should be possible. If I choose sda and remove the sdb drive (ubuntu) will I still be able to run vista? [07:08] IndyGunFreak: If you put grub somewhere else, you still need an MBR that knows where to find grub, eg configure an additional entry in NTLDR for it [07:08] slope, put your /boot on sda also then [07:08] hello, can someone give me some help on upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid with an encrypted filesystem? I'm having difficulty with initramfs [07:09] zcat[1]: right... l.ike i aid, i've never personally had luck w/ it.. not saying it can't be done [07:09] when i open up firefox it takes up the whole screen and cant see anythign elese not even bars on the top and bottom [07:09] how can i make that go away [07:09] dingupenguin, try hitting F11 ? [07:09] zcat: coulda used that info yesterday with solaris install u have no idea how long it took me to get it right [07:09] IndyGunFreak: haven't done it myself for a long time either.. apparntly it's recomended with vista... I've never used Vista and will probably avoid it for a while yet [07:09] !appropriate [07:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about appropriate [07:10] !botabuse | army12bc [07:10] army12bc: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots.

[07:10] thanks for the help everyone, trying sda and will pull sdb after install to see if it works for that condition,..not too worried about mucking up vista, but asking never hurts. thx all. [07:10] dingupenguin: if F11 doesnt fix it you can try alt-F7 to move the window and see if you can move it so that the bar is visible [07:10] !botsnack [07:10] Ive had Grub on Just the 2nd hd.. i just had to hit F9 on the bios/post tests to get to a 'boot what hard drive' dialog for this pc. :) handy [07:10] Yum!

[07:19] IndyGunFreak: uh ... nothing? just praising everybody's patience and niceness. sometimes people will boot really quickly. [07:19] cojones_, once you strt using envyng. youmay need to stay with using envyng. and you may need to rerun it every time theres a kernel update [07:19] can videos be played with compiz enabled on an ati card without flickering [07:19] osbert: oh ok, i took your remark as being satire. [07:19] shiki9, they work on my low end laptop.. so yes.. it can work.. [07:19] dr_willis: any way to undo it? [07:19] !envyng | cojones_ [07:19] cojones_: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [07:19] cojones_, no idea [07:20] cojones_: did you remove the drivers using envy? [07:20] ziroday: yes, and manually also thru synaptic manager [07:20] Somebody help me. I have win xp and ubuntu at the same HD. Now win xp crashes. Is it save for me to format C: and reinstall win xp? [07:20] dr_willis:ok [07:20] my system is working with compiz now... there are just some strange side effects [07:20] jim_p: note that b43-fwcutter was only introduced in intrepid, no package will exist in versions before that [07:20] envy, automatix, easyubuntu, etc,... Why God... Why [07:20] shiki9: it works perfectly with the radeon driver, not so much with fglrx [07:21] side effects: cannot shutdown without hanging [07:21] ziroday: well he IS in intrepid! === songexe is now known as a5song [07:21] also sound is muted after bootup, this could be due to the shutdown problem [07:21] ziroday: i will ask him to apt-get update [07:21] jim_p: ah well that was just my idea, perhaps he didn't apt-get update properly [07:21] t7th_Sense: yes, but when you reinstall XP it will mess up grub or whatever your boot loader is so you should save a boot disk that will let you boot back in later. [07:22] il be honnest that seems like alot of work for a screen i never see [07:22] t7th_Sense: and don't reformat the whole thing, just any partitions that XP is using (probably the 1st one) [07:23] oh you WILL want to see that screen when you have multios setup [07:23] rest assured [07:23] anyone have any idea how to remove fglrx from a system and go back to using the open source drivers exclusively? [07:23] hi all, how can I know what is there in my environment, I know there is a variable called $PATH but no idea how to manipulate it. [07:24] shirish: echo $PATH [07:24] i tried my way but that broke my system hehe.. i had to chroot in from a livecd to reinstall the fglrx packages [07:24] sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx? [07:24] grub is generally really easy to reinstall from a live CD [07:24] shirish: But I highly recommend you not edit that variable [07:24] search for the fglrx package first to get the right name [07:24] ardchoille: thanx, did it. [07:24] holymoo: any idea where I could get a vanilla version of xorg.conf? [07:24] ardchoille: I was trying the same, the only error was echo $ PATH [07:24] i'd like to have that in place first before I wipe fglrx ;) [07:24] notice the space. [07:25] * shirish out [07:25] shirish: Ah :) [07:25] cojones_: xorg is vanilla as far as i know [07:25] osbert: mine is grub. You mean if I dont make emergency disk then my pc won't restart anymore? [07:25] cojones_: your only bet is x.org and compile your self if you have masochistic tendencies [07:25] holymoo: what i mean is remove any trace of fglrx being referenced in the startup [07:26] cojones_: you don't really even need an xog.conf anymore [07:26] xorg.conf* [07:26] cojones_: that should do it [07:26] cojones_: but you can reset it with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [07:26] crdlb, where does X determine which gfx to use now? [07:26] t7th_Sense: no, if you reinstall windows, it will overwrite the master boot record, and as a result, Grub... Windows *should* boot w/o issue, ut if you dual boot, you'll have to reinstall grub to get back to Linux [07:26] apt-get remove --purge even [07:26] cojones_: but make sure you remove xorg-driver-fglrx and reboot [07:26] cojones_: it guesses [07:27] can't cojones do a dpgk reconfigure? [07:27] joot: maybe, but he used envy... which leaves him envious of people who've not used it. [07:27] soo what is this compiz and bburl stuff [07:27] Ow I understand. Thank you IndyGunFreak [07:28] dpkg-reconfigure is now officially useless [07:28] the brilliant ubuntu devs chopped its cojones off [07:28] holymoo: yea, it was nice in Dapper [07:28] it does dill now [07:28] i'm still fuming [07:28] Indygunfreak: is that one of those magic install packages ? [07:28] !grub | t7th_Sense read through the "Lost Grub" part.. it will explain it better [07:28] holymoo, hehe nice [07:28] t7th_Sense read through the "Lost Grub" part.. it will explain it better: 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 [07:28] joot: lol.. supposed tobe [07:28] holymoo, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [07:28] bazhang: bite me [07:28] Indygunfreak: ic :-)) [07:29] thank you ubottu [07:29] !thanks | t7th_Sense [07:29] t7th_Sense: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [07:30] alright rebooting [07:30] hopefully this'll all work out [07:31] wakz [07:34] t7th_Sense: and just to be clear, if your'e goin to reinstlal windows, and you intend to still dual boot, you need to pay special care to the fact that Windows does not overwrite your Linux partition. [07:34] otherwise, not having grub will be low on your list of problems.. :) [07:36] I was told that Xubuntu 8.10 will not have to be restarted when the Linux was updated. Is this true or not? [07:36] to install compiz would it be apt-get compiz install [07:36] the command? [07:36] What's the best/easiest video editing program? [07:36] the linux kernal * [07:36] IndyGunFreak: doesn't windows overwrite linux by default? the reason for installing linux second on a dual boot? [07:36] !compiz [07:36] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [07:36] Maconga: any kernel upgrade requires a reboot, period. [07:36] Maconga: you need to restart after a kernel update [07:36] also will it run in vmware? [07:36] okay. thanks of the information [07:37] hmm.. system still not back to normal... compiz is working ok but video playback is funny.. [07:37] sambagirl, compiz in vmware - not very useable [07:37] videos will play fine but if I move the window around, the video stays in the same place, it just gets cropped by the window moving [07:37] anyone experience this? [07:37] sambagirl: it can, if you have a decent enough system to support it [07:37] cojones_: but the video overlay moves once you finish moving the window? [07:37] crdlb, yes [07:38] cojones_: that's perfectly normal; it's Overlay XVideo [07:38] cojones_, so stop moving it! :) [07:38] well dr_willis i would imagein it would be very sluggish but i was just willing to try it. [07:38] the video is being drawn with a hardware overlay, so it cannot be redirected for compiz [07:38] crdlb, huh, i could swear that when using something like the ring switcher, the video would move around and play perfectly [07:38] cojones_: if you switch to EXA, you could try "textured XVideo", but that's a bit experimental [07:38] well i have a macbook and a thinkpad :) [07:38] both are fast [07:39] crdlb, EXA? [07:39] ok after i do my apt-get update -f then i do apt-get install -f yes? [07:39] crdlb, lemme look i tup [07:39] ahh it install compiz-fuzioin plugins on this update i see [07:39] any body help me how to configure mic phone on skype in ubuntu [07:40] cojones_: an XRender AccelMethod; it's the successor to XAA, which is what you're using now [07:40] crdlb, the video definitely worked before... now when i Alt-Tab thru open windows.. the video is just black in the app window unless it overlaps where it was playing on the desktop [07:40] what is this xpong-server that keeps blowing up ? [07:40] crdlb, i'm positive it worked before [07:40] cojones_: you must have done this (switching to EXA) before trying fglrx [07:41] cojones_: it's very easy to do, just put Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" in Section "Device" of your xorg.conf [07:41] ok [07:41] pubby: hv u tested it with sound recorder ? [07:42] cojones_: by the way, you are on intrepid, right? [07:42] EXA on radeon doesn't work well on hardy [07:42] crdlb, yes [07:42] alright i just added it, i'll reboot X and get back to ya ;) [07:42] thanks! [07:43] the keyboard on my laptop stopped working. how do i make it work again? typing this with mouse, which is s-l-o-w. [07:43] how to enable the right alt key from the terminal? [07:44] crdlb, unfortunately no luck :( [07:44] i think it has something to do with my drivers [07:44] even if i add the restricted drivers now thru System->Admin->Hardware Drivers and it says they're active... glxinfo still says vendor is SGI [07:45] cojones_: what problem are you trying to solve anyway? [07:45] if you do the apt-get update -f does that also do the install or do you have to also apt-get install -f too? i am trying to determine what is blowing up. [07:45] it looks like it is setting up the downloads it just completed [07:46] holymoo, compiz isn't playing nicely with video playback.. i can't get my system back to its original state before I tried installing restricted drivers [07:46] i got the restricted drivers working but THAT made video really choppy in fullscreen [07:46] cojones_: aha [07:46] holymoo, but the games worked ;) horrible tradeoff hehe [07:46] is setting up actually configuring teh downloads? [07:47] interesting [07:47] is there any need to run apt-get install -f? [07:47] sambagirl: if something breaks and you want to force th einstall and ignore dependencies [07:47] it will attempt the install [07:47] does anybody know of a hotkey that will turn your resolution sideways so I can use my laptop like a book? (similar to ctrl+alt+right in windows) [07:47] the consequences are unpredictable but often not consequential [07:47] sambagirl: what are you trying to resolve? [07:48] I'm trying to use Movie Player to watch a DVD... but it only plays the first track and never any more... repeat is set to off, and when I try to access the DVD menu, nothing opens or display [07:48] s [07:48] cojones_: you don't want to use the restricted driver [07:48] cojones_: if you are trying to start from an original state i don't really have a suggestion unfortunately. reinstalling just may be the only way to get that state back [07:48] anyone recommend a better DVD viewing tool? [07:48] cojones_: and I wasn't done with setting up textured video [07:48] we don't have automated bitmap image snapshots and the like that restore entire states of a system [07:48] CaptainMorgan: yeah vlc [07:48] well i was trying to run a script to install and configure and get dependencies for 2 things. 1. campware and 2. jinzora but something is amiss. [07:49] holymoo, it's available on Linux ? [07:49] holymoo, cool! thought it was only Win [07:49] thanks! [07:49] CaptainMorgan: np, in repos yes [07:49] crdlb, what else should i add besides changing xorg? [07:49] sambagirl: aha. [07:49] bit encountered errors while processin spong-common spong-client spong-server spong-www [07:49] sambagirl: sounds like it tried to install something for which a library doesn't exist in repos [07:49] speaking of VLC, is there vlc > 0.8.6 in a some repo for 8.04? [07:49] ahhhh [07:49] i see [07:49] and its asking you to do install -f to complete, yes? [07:50] it reurts a /usr/bin/dpkg error code (1) [07:50] i know that is a lock with 0 bytes [07:50] cojones_: you have to tell anything using XVideo to use the second adapter; for gstreamer, run gstreamer-properties and go to Video > Default Output > Device > Radeon Textured Video [07:50] so i go into that folder and delete that lock file and run it again i dunno. let me try the install thingy [07:50] brb [07:50] if these things are just userland apps and nothing too with core frameworks like kde, gnome, x, linux, etc then complete it with -f yes [07:50] hey my browser is hanging always......can help?? [07:50] DarkKnight: error messages? [07:51] on what sites? let me guess, flash streaming sites? [07:51] Hi. I'm trying to install ubuntu with wubi, I restarted and I can see the Ubuntu background and cursor but there's nothing on the page, my desktop is 256MB memory hard drive 40GB which is probably really small so would this mean it'd take time to startup for first time? because the first time it started up I saw a 'Checking Installation' screen then funny green blue colours came on the screen and it seemed like the whol [07:51] e program restarted to where I am now? [07:51] bastones: no, the system specs are fine. either some hardware is not supported or something failed during install [07:51] crdlb, you sir are a genius [07:51] go back to windows reinstall again [07:52] now i know what that spong business is, i wanted to see if it was an alternative with openview. [07:52] it was in the repository [07:52] glad to hear its working [07:52] holymoo; no error mess8's....the browser page turns dark and i cant access the pages [07:53] holymoo: I have used ubuntu on my desktop before with probably a previous ver. this year inJuly so I dont understand why it isnt working - I remember last time it took a long time for it to kickstart for first time but this is taking a really long time [07:53] DarkKnight: couple of options. move your .mozilla or .firefox or whatever dir in ~/user dir it is and rename it to something else [07:53] restart ff and see if that fixes anything [07:54] if that doesn't work, try reinstalling [07:54] bastones: new packages, new software, etc. [07:54] bastones: non LTS releases tend to be buggy so who knows [07:54] LTS releases are buggy as well but a little less so [07:55] shall i try v8.04? [07:55] so its entirely possible that one will work and another wont say because drivers aren't installed [07:55] holymoo... now wer do i find its directory?? [07:55] hardy has been rock solid for me on multiple configurations [07:55] sure and then you can dist-upgrade and see how far you get. [07:55] bastones: if you are a noob, you won't really miss much from 8.10 [07:55] DarkKnight: you can also try starting firefox in safe omde [07:55] what is region channel for pa? [07:55] !noob | holymoo [07:55] holymoo: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [07:55] army12bc: pa? [07:55] ziroday: check your ops channel [07:55] you will find out i don't really care [07:56] Does anybody know a hotkey that will turn your resolution sideways? (Like ctrl+alt right in Windows) [07:56] which file is it that you put the deb info into ? [07:56] i forget [07:56] !loco | army12bc [07:56] army12bc: Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams [07:56] DarkKnight: open up nautilus and on the left hand side look at your home dir [07:56] it will be named the same as your user name [07:56] click on that [07:56] !coc | holymoo [07:56] holymoo: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [07:56] then press ctrl/h [07:56] Conexio1: I know how to do it from the command line [07:56] that will show you all the . directories [07:56] how so? :) [07:56] Conexio1: and then you can create a shortcut key for it [07:56] rename the.mozilla to MOZILLA or something like that [07:56] then restart ff and see if that works [07:57] That'll work! [07:57] if it works i'll help you restore your bookmarks [07:57] bazhang: you are so tiring. leave me be.

[07:58] holymoo...i have no idea abt nautilius [07:58] you guys never learn, eh bazhang? [07:58] DarkKnight: oh just click on any folder on your desktop [07:58] it will openup nautilus for you [07:58] 1 pc, 2 sound cards, anyone know how to set 2 music players to different card? [07:58] hi guys [07:58] you will see nautilus in the top of the window that opens up [07:58] ziroday: I've opened up "Monitor Resolution Settings" and I only see resolution, Refresh Rate, and Rotation [07:59] Conexio1: Rotation is what you want, you can change it there [07:59] nastas: i don't thin kthats possible, but i'd like to know if it trully is no or if it is possible as well [07:59] good question [07:59] I tried that earlier and it crashed xD [07:59] had to force shut down [07:59] anyone here can guide me in reinstalling ubuntu 8.10 64 bit from ubuntu 8.04 32bit [07:59] i want to do a fresh install [07:59] Conexio1: ah, well open up a command line and type in xrandr -o left [07:59] mosea: forget it. install via cd from scratch [08:00] k :) [08:00] i can do that [08:00] holymoo: i did it with amarok and audacious [08:00] nastas: really? sweet. how? [08:00] how do i check opengl on my system / [08:00] run glxgears [08:00] leohartx: check it how? [08:00] if it runs you have ogl [08:00] holymoo: i just set the audacious to use the second card [08:01] but i want to know how i can reinstall on the same partition without disturbing other partitions [08:01] nastas: from audacious preferences? [08:01] mosea: you can just overwrite the partition with 32bit ubuntu on [08:01] does amarok have same preferences? time to check. neato [08:01] mosea, set a seperate home [08:01] !home | mosea [08:01] mosea: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [08:01] is there a dlna upnp media client for linux? [08:02] !upnp [08:02] To stream media to other UPNP aware devices (such as the Xbox, PS3, or iRadio) you need a UPNP server. See !info mediatomb for information regarding the MediaTomb package [08:02] is there a read/write safe to mount ext3 partitions from win32 based OSs? [08:02] bazhang: I believe he/she wants to do a fresh install [08:02] ziroday: oh, srry i mean check if my graphic card support opengl or not [08:02] seaoftea, Hmm.. Ive seen where that geexbox media disrto can access upnp servers.. but ive not used it a lot fo that [08:02] slope: yes there is a driver at fs-driver.org iirc [08:02] holymoo: yes. but the only problem is that audacious needs to restart my pc 2-3 times to start playing [08:02] So what do I need to do to play DvDs? [08:02] !info mediatomb [08:02] mediatomb (source: mediatomb): UPnP MediaServer (main package). In component universe, is optional.

I want a client [08:03] Bowtrik, i install the proper packages from the medibuntu repos [08:03] bazhang: erm he said "mosea> i want to do a fresh install" [08:03] blah, Ubuntu crashed again when I did that xD [08:03] seaoftea, that geexbox media disrto can access upnp servers.. it uses mplayer, but im not sure what else [08:03] ty ziroday [08:03] Conexion: hmm, then it appears you graphics card drivers/card don't support changing rotation :) [08:03] holymoo: maybe is audacious bug. [08:04] dr_willis, are you really a doctor? :) [08:04] Bowtrik, Im a Dr of Love. ;P [08:04] I knew it [08:04] i have already 3 other partions where i can backup my data but want to do a fresh install on the same partition as the old ubuntu [08:04] hah, alright. I'm using a Eee PC netbook. Just curious if it would work! thanks ziroday! [08:04] Conexion: which model? [08:04] I graduated Magna Cum Laude myself. [08:04] 900A [08:04] ziroday: what does it mean when display 3 gears spining ? [08:04] how can i clear the hardware driver cache? [08:04] holymoo: i run a restorant with 2 floors and i need 2 play different kind of music on each floor [08:05] mosea: then you can just overwrite your old partition [08:05] leohartx: you have opengl running [08:05] Conexion: ah, I can do it just fine on my 701 so its odd it doesn't work on your 900A [08:05] ziroday: 900A [08:05] odd [08:05] nastas: hey cool ! [08:05] Ill see if anyone has a solution on the eee pc side [08:06] Conexion: you running compiz? and how exactly does it "crash" [08:06] ziroday: so i have both direct render and opengl on my system, but my graphic card have problem with compiz [08:06] holymoo: do you have any idea about audacious? i mean why adcious need to restart the pc to make it work? [08:06] Yup, running compiz, and it looks like it rotates sideways, but doesn't reverse the resolultion.. [08:06] then I cant click anything [08:06] leohartx: what graphics card? [08:07] Conexion: reverse the resolution? [08:07] ziroday: intel intergrated X3100 [08:07] like [08:07] nastas: not even remotely. never used it. sorry dude. [08:07] it turns the whole screen sideways, but doesnt make the width the height, and the height the width [08:07] i can tell you that your line of query will be first the ubuntu/debian packager, thenupstream to the devs them selves [08:07] thats the only way you will find out the question to something that esoteric [08:08] So the sides are 'cut off' and there is a bunch of black bellow it [08:08] well more like malone issue tracker then upstream i guess [08:08] holymoo: ok. try it. itworks. maybe it happens just to me :) [08:08] Conexion: hmm, no idea about that. Sorry [08:08] no problem ziroday :) [08:08] I want to setup a vpn between Ubuntu and my Windows installation (on VBox)... How to start? [08:08] thanks anyway! [08:08] hi, downloaded kubuntu intrepid, i started to boot from cd, monitor turned off, black screen [08:09] ziroday: when i use google earth, some 3d game, some special effect of compiz-fusion the screen getting crazy [08:09] the keyboard on my laptop stopped working. how do i make it work again? typing this with mouse, which is s-l-o-w. [08:09] I just got new laptop today and put kubuntu Ibex on it. I installed nfs-common. I put the same fstab entries from my Debian box but am unable to mount any nfs4 shares on my Solaris box [08:09] Dr_willis, is this the code I would use for my Intrepid Ibex installation? "sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list" [08:09] can anyone help me ? [08:09] no [08:09] ziroday: how do i solve that prob ? [08:09] leohartx: perhaps your graphics card is just not powerful enough [08:10] Is the nfs4 client broke on Ibex? [08:10] I'm trying to get java installed and working. I'm getting "An error occurred while loading this applet." I'm guessing there is a conflict between the open source java implementation and the sun implementation, which I need for this app. How can I make the switch? [08:10] leohartx, what card [08:11] leohartx: "glxinfo |grep direct" should return Yes [08:11] anyone knows why i have to restart 2-3 times my pc to make it work? [08:11] bazhang: intel x3100 [08:11] leohartx, that card is surely good enough for all of that [08:11] Frogzoo: yes [08:11] I guess I'll just install Debian, it's not worth having such a broke os just to get a nice installer. debootstrap isn't that bad really [08:12] how to enable the right alt key from the terminal? [08:12] leohartx, you are using compiz while doing google earth? [08:12] bazhang: yes, but only with common demand [08:12] i need help...i cant install my wireless card driver over ubuntu..copy the .inf file from window but the result is wrong driver install..why is that so0?? [08:12] bazhang: yes [08:12] anyone knows why i have to restart 2-3 times my pc to make iaudacious work work? [08:12] I wish they had a light version of xbmc [08:12] leohartx, any reason not to disable compiz? [08:13] bazhang: no, i mean i want to solve that, make them work together [08:13] Has anyone here gone from 8.04 to 8.10 that was installed on a software RAID partition? [08:13] thanx guys lata [08:13] nvm. got it myself. [08:13] i need help...i cant install my wireless card driver over ubuntu..copy the .inf file from window but the result is wrong driver install..anyone know about this??? [08:14] bazhang: i knew that disable compiz will work for google earth [08:14] Why is ubuntu so much worse than Debian? It doesn;t seem like it should be that much different [08:15] Corwin: rapid release cycles [08:15] its impossible to do proper testing in 6 month release cycles [08:15] its not for lack of trying [08:15] But Debain Unstable works amazingly well [08:15] bazhang: btw, do you know how to install psx and pcsx2 ? [08:15] Corwin: sure, just wait [08:15] It's worked fine for the last 5 years [08:16] lets stop right there [08:16] !offtopic [08:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:16] how do I turn off the system messages like leaving room in Pigin? [08:16] take debian chat elsewhere please [08:16] I have had a lot of issues with the release cycles though. [08:16] to #debian for example [08:16] vyoman: I think there is a plugin that can do that for you. [08:16] bazhang: can you answer me ? [08:16] you're right, it was a dumb ass think for me to try putting Ubuntu on my laptop. [08:17] s/think/thing/ [08:17] leohartx, from the repos or the tar.gz [08:17] Corwin: one ascertains a particular distro for its characteristics and lives with it [08:17] Corwin: ubuntu is inherently unstable, its closer to unstable/experimental [08:17] so make a choice, you either want that or don't [08:17] bazhang: any other way ? and the upper question to :) [08:17] holymoo, Corwin please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:17] I run Debain unstable [08:17] cool, settled. [08:17] i answered your ubuntu questions [08:18] blow me bazhang, I'm leaving [08:18] ok so port 111 is refused so it must be blocked here.. [08:18] I ftp'd to my website using Places > Connect to server. Can I access it through bash now? [08:18] "Personally, I do not hate niggers at all, I just correctly understand that they are not human and treat them accordingly. They are nothing more than wild niggers running around loose and one must act accordingly around them. A hundred and fifty years or so ago, people in this country treated niggers accordingly and kept them contained and controlled. We made them useful by managing their numbers, containing them, and forcing them to work [08:18] and be somewhat productive. But the natural empathy of the White man caused him to unrestrain a species of animal (niggers) largely due to the fact they they mimick humans in their behavior and dress. Now that the genie is out of the bottle, he can't be put back in and we're stuck with living around 30 million wild niggers. [08:18] I am never surprised when I hear stories of TNB; stories of niggers raping, torturing, murdering and beating White people. Stories from Africa of them raping babies, toddlers, and goats; drinking lizard pee and smoking their own shit to get high. The rampant disease and famine there and watching their nigglets die off by the millions while their mammies get gang-banged in the bush to pump out another litter. Nothing about niggers surprise [08:18] Negroid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:19] what ansshole thing to say you pig [08:19] bazhang: you get a lot of that eh? [08:19] I apologize to those of you who had to witness that [08:19] I use Ubuntu but borrow Konversation and Yakuake from Kubuntu. Yakuake steals input all the time from Konversation, I need to show and hide Yakuake for it to let go of the Keyboard input focus from Konversation. Does anyone have a workaround for this? [08:19] how come I see different packages in Aptitude than in Synaptics? [08:20] sambagirl: its a bot [08:20] it's not your fault it just a fool [08:20] oh [08:20] ok [08:20] seaoftea: you are sshd into a differnt machine for either? [08:21] same machine [08:21] hi i have few doubts ons etting up raid 0, raid 1 and 5 [08:21] do i need to have same sized hdd ? [08:21] after all that, anyone in the mood to talk about Pigin system messages? [08:21] so, I guess that is one manifestation of the backlash of the new us president,then? racist irc bots? [08:22] synaptic doesn't have all of the packages aptitude has [08:22] *Pidgin* [08:22] which doesn't make any sense [08:22] i get alot of spam on msm [08:22] vyoman: I answered your question. It's a pidgin add on. [08:22] Enselic, in yakuake there is "keep open on focus change" option, is it enabled in your setup? [08:22] that microsoft messenger even thru pidgin [08:22] sambagirl: Then don't use msm. ;) [08:22] but i hvae friend on there ;) === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:23] Oh well; There is no accounting for taste. [08:23] raid , anyone ? err [08:23] can you install enemy territory via synapse? [08:23] sambagirl: nope [08:23] ok [08:23] diskin: nope [08:25] Enselic, no more ideas.. I use Yakuake also, but no Konvesation.. Did not notice any focus problems. [08:25] My "fixed size windows" in compiz doesn't work after upgrading to intrepid... did anyone else have this issue? [08:25] diskin: I only have focus problems with Konversation [08:25] diskin: i.e. Yakuake only steals input from Konversation, not other programs like Firefox === francesco is now known as Guest88027 [08:26] where does /dev folder mount (did not setup mount point for it when install ubuntu) ? [08:26] just upgraded last night to Ibex from Hardy... but when I click on Places-Home Folder, its running Kaffeine and not bringing up the file folder dialog??? Any ideas on this? [08:26] I don't have sound on my headphones. The system speaker works, and has it's own volume control slider (Master Mono), but even with turning every other slider up and unmuting, the headphones doesn't work... Any idea how to fix it? [08:26] Enselic, I have other KDE programs as well, like KDESvn, work fine.. BTW, did you try guake? [08:26] kkathman: yep, one sec whilst I get you the fix [08:26] thanks ziroday [08:26] leohartx: it'a fs within kernel memory afaik [08:26] diskin: oh there is a GNOME version? didn't know that, I'll try right away [08:27] what is the best program for recording your desktop?

[08:27] thanks [08:27] Enselic, yes. I just got too much tied to Yakuake before I seen guake :) [08:27] !best | zetheroo [08:27] zetheroo: 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. [08:27] Frogzoo: how big is it ? mine only 1 GB, not enough for a DVD [08:28] leohartx: umm, I'm very wrong - it's a subdirectory of / [08:28] leohartx: /dev/ is not the place to be copying dvds === izibi_ is now known as izibi [08:29] hey, i'm trying to figure out how to get my Logitech Cordless Access keyboard's F-keys to work. is there a way to see what scancodes are generated? [08:29] !sound [08:29] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [08:29] Hi it may be offtopic [08:29] hehe this automation in intrepid is actually making things more difficult for me!! i'm installing restricted drivers and System->Admin->Hardware Drivers says they're being using but glxinfo reports otherwise [08:30] but i got to find this out [08:30] i have a dsl modem + router [08:30] HorizonXP: showkey -s [08:30] Frogzoo: well, where does DVD mount ? [08:30] leohartx: should mount typically on /dev/dvd [08:31] The modem was running linux and I was able to access its web based config utility till yesterday [08:31] leohartx: you might also want to look in /dev/scd0 [08:31] What's an easy way of showing how many threads a process currently has? [08:31] I also had telnet access to it..But today i whenever i attempt to telnet the connection gets closed immdiately [08:31] But i am able to ping the modems IP [08:32] Frogzoo thanks, gonna go to a console now to try it [08:32] Frogzoo: but /dev capacity isnt enough [08:32] leohartx: the 'capacity' is on the dvd - you're only mounting, not copying [08:32] how do you install a i386 .deb file on a ubuntu amd4 OS? [08:33] ziroday, many thanx, that fixed the problem :) [08:33] jin: which file? [08:33] !headphone [08:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about headphone [08:33] !headphones [08:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about headphones [08:33] ziroday, realbasic2008r4.2.deb [08:33] jin: where did you get it from? [08:34] I don't have sound on my headphones. The system speaker works, and has it's own volume control slider (Master Mono), but even with turning every other slider up and unmuting, the headphones doesn't work... Any idea how to fix it? [08:34] ziroday, http://www.realsoftware.com [08:34] Frogzoo: ah, i get it. i misunderstood when i create an image iso with it :) [08:34] frogzoo: it didn't quite work. it didn't recognize the keys as being pressed [08:35] diskin: nice, I'll simply start using that one instead :) [08:35] Enselic, good luck! [08:35] jin: you could run into some serious issues running that in a 64bit system [08:36] ziroday, why? what can I do? === testing is now known as Guest65106 [08:36] HorizonXP: then you have a kernel issue [08:36] all, my Youtube vids are getting no sound. Sliders on max. System sliders on max too. Any ideas? [08:36] jin: you will need to install all the 32bit libraries that it depends on as well. However you are free to try it and if it doesn't work remove it [08:36] HorizonXP: ie. the kernel doesn't recognise the key presses - you'll need a new kernel/module [08:36] When does a telnet client say "Connection closed by foreign host?" [08:36] Frogzoo: so I have to recompile? or load a new module? how do I know which one? [08:36] storm-zen: thanks got it and I enabled the notify plugin as well :) [08:37] ziroday, I'm gonna use --force-architecture to install it [08:37] HorizonXP: probably your keyboard's not supported - if you google you might find a hack, maybe [08:37] jin: okau [08:39] Frogzoo: unfortunately, nothing's really coming up on google for my keyboard === urkki is now known as Finnish [08:43] i'm running a triple head w/ 1 8800 and 1 8500 for the 3rd mon.

[08:44] Hi. Off topic question, but if anyone is a CCNA or has any Cisco under their belt; could you please answer some questions for me? [08:44] i would HUGELY appreciate it [08:44] Hi, i'd like to install ubuntu on my new Notebook. But before, i'd like to backup the installed Windows System. If i boot with a LiveCD and tar the files, would the NTFS rights etc. correctly been stored? What else could i do? [08:45] Oins, what version of Windows? [08:45] Windows XP Home [08:45] niall [08:45] Oins, are you looking to dual boot or clean install? [08:46] niall, dual boot, but before i like to depart the HDD, so i like to backup the windows. [08:47] Oins, my best recommendation would be to use an external HD to backup to, so even in case of sheer disaster, you're backed up. [08:47] Hmm... Alsamixer is using PulseAudio, how do I make it use ALSA? [08:48] !list [08:48] Hi!

It will create a .ZIP file with everything except emails. === takinovah is now known as rofl [08:51] where are the gnome sessions startup programs/shortcuts located on the drive? [08:51] Oins, also look into a utility called EASY BSD, im not 100% sure it works on XP (i'm a vista user) but it makes dual booting a snap [08:52] niall, hmm... do u mean the backup tool from windows or is there a tool at the ubuntu livecd? [08:52] Oins, to back up your windows partition, use the windows tool. [08:52] Oins, or Norton Ghost. [08:53] niall, the reason for the backup is. i installed all patches etc. at the windows system. after 1day installing i like to backup the actual status from the system to save the time for reinstall [08:53] Oins, the windows backup tool will back everything except email client messages. [08:54] What is SnagIt alternative ? [08:54] passive, dont assume we know what every program ever out does.. :) whats snagit? [08:54] Is anyone a CCNA?

[08:58] niall, but u don't mean the system recovery from WinXP!? [08:59] does anyone know another program similar to grip? [08:59] is there Xen dom0 support in Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid ibex) ? [08:59] OIns, I do not, there should be a back up tool listed under system tools. [08:59] got the alternative (Dia) thanks!

[09:00] dr_willis: name another one that grip please. and not ffmpeg in command line [09:00] niall, ok, i found "transfer files and configuration" (hope the translation is correct). is that the right one? [09:00] Oins, this article will be very helpfull for you. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/bott_03july14.mspx [09:01] jim_p, check the package manager for 'rip' or 'mp3' i guess. I perfer grip really. :) there used to be some way to get the file manager to show audio cd's as mp3 files you couldjust then copy to hd. it would rip/encode on the fly [09:02] I'd like to open an application running with a different user [09:02] dr_willis: nautilus on the fly encoding? [09:02] like su otheruser && firefox [09:02] but the apps can't open display [09:02] jim_p, i forget if it was in nautilus or konqueror.. i saw some time back.. but i rarely if ever have audio cd's in the pc's these days [09:02] i enabled the hide join/parting Pidgin plugin, why do I still get message like: passive left the room (quit: "Leaving"). === Frogzoo is now known as FAGGITZOO [09:02] how can I change that? === FAGGITZOO is now known as frogzoo [09:02] dr_willis: thanks [09:02] Oins, hope that helps [09:03] hi [09:03] elTigre, I belive one can do that with the proper arguments to sudo.

Have a good nite. If you have any other questions my aim name is NiallGriff, and i'll be happy to help [09:05] one may need to use gksudo with the proper arguments [09:05] niall, damn, there is no ntbackup installer at my windows recovery CD... hmm. [09:05] Oins, check microsoft.cm [09:05] com lol [09:06] how do i restart samba, sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart doesn't work [09:06] elTigre, its possible the user might need to do xhost +localhost first.. that could be considerd a BIG security issue [09:06] codeane, thats how i always restart it. [09:06] sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [09:07] sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found, i'm running 8.10 [09:07] vyoman: I would guess because the join/part plugin does it think those are /parts?

[09:10] codeane, i edit that config file.. i do have my box setup as a samba server. you aprently do not haver the samba service set up yet.

Currently I can only use 3/4ths of my right monitor [09:19] niall, what video card? Nvidia? [09:20] dr_willis, its an aging nvidia which is getting close to being replaced [09:20] dr_willis, i bought it before i got involved in 'nix === bjames is now known as Guest90871 [09:21] niall, what i normally do.. install the proper nvidia drivers, install nvidia-settings, and nvidia-xconfig.. reboot so its using the drivers.. backup the working xorg.conf, then run nvidia-settings as root.. tweak the Settings.. if you 'apply' the thing sort of works.. but i MUST MUST MUST restart the X server to get all apps to work properly after tweaking the xorg.conf with nvidia-settings [09:22] niall, if you use nvidia-settings and apply the changes.. the 2nd monitor does work forme.. but not all apps are aware of the nature/twinview setup. so may not work righ till you restart the X server. IS the big issue ive seen [09:22] dr_willis, good advice, and i did that under Heron and had no problems. since I opted to Ibex, this issue stared [09:22] niall, ive not had any issues under ibex with it. on my... hmm.. nvidia 5500 video card machine. Not trried twinview on the 8800gtsxxx yet.

[09:36] zetheroo: nope, sorry [09:36] rand0m: just reinstall [09:37] niall: nah, it should be fine all-around these days (if you're running 8.04 or newer). Ubuntu's pretty good at making sure everything's unmounted cleanly, one way or another - there'd have to be some sort of connectivity error that disrupts the data at umount time to cause a problem [09:37] DIFH-iceroot, won't lose data? [09:37] rand0m: reinstall == new install [09:37] i'm having problem connecting a php code to mysql. using ubuntu. this is the error I'm having... mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'www-data'@'localhost' [09:37] zetheroo, i spent part of the week last week reading through the mencoder/ffmpeg docs. :) i think a simple ffmpeg foo.whatver foo.avi Might do it.. [09:37] Gnea, that's a relief, I kinda drink a lot so I forget such minutia lol [09:38] anyone familiar with linux, php, mysql setup ? [09:38] DIFH-iceroot, so again to clarify... that = erases everything?

[09:39] rand0m: sure [09:39] Gnea. never [09:39] niall: :D [09:39] zetheroo, yes. :) ffmpeg and mencoder are commands normally used by most of the front ends [09:39] Oins, I would not recommdend fucking with boot files without a backup [09:39] How do I see GPU-info from my ATI-card on my laptop? [09:39] niall: please moderate your language [09:40] niall: ah, sorry, didn't mean to trigger any bad memories... but swearing is discouraged in here [09:40] niall: if you can't say it without swearing - don't say it [09:40] dr_willis: would you know what command would covert this file? [09:40] Ok, im sorry [09:40] zetheroo, i said earlier ---------> i think a simple ffmpeg foo.whatver foo.avi Might do it.. [09:40] Hi I just run clamav antivirus and it reports that my Ubuntu 8.04 desktop computer has Trojan.Tull in //proc/kcore . What can I do about that ? [09:40] i was just being casual [09:40] niall: swearing isn't casual [09:40] not a biggie, i'll watch my fingers lol [09:41] :) === evandar__ is now known as evandar_ [09:41] zetheroo, http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg-doc.html [09:41] dr_willis: the file I have is called out.ogv [09:41] ikonia, it is where i come from, so its ok. I said i'll relax [09:41] ikonia: i think he'll be alright [09:42] I'm irish, the F word is like hello to us lol [09:42] zetheroo, cant recall ever seeing that .ogv befor try it and see I guess [09:42] niall: anyways, i try to make sure that my usb thumbdrives are disconnected before shutdown/reboot too, it's just good practice [09:42] there is oggconvert or something like that whitch converts all to ogg [09:42] zetheroo, a fast google imples that .ogv is ogg video [09:43] Ast001: he wants to convert away from ogg :) [09:43] !info mp32ogg [09:43] mp32ogg (source: mp32ogg): Converts MP3 file to Ogg Vorbis. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11-12 (intrepid), package size 7 kB, installed size 64 kB [09:43] some reason some people are using .ogv for video and .ogg for audio [09:43] As they should! [09:43] Assuming they're putting a Vorbis-encoded file into the Ogg container [09:43] !info ffmpeg2theora [09:43] dr_willis: they were renamed as it used to be .ogg for both video and audio, it has since been renamed to .ogv and .oga [09:43] ffmpeg2theora (source: ffmpeg2theora): Theora video encoder using ffmpeg.

I dont have the file so cant test. :) === Guest5358 is now known as Sinister === Sinister is now known as Guest19063 [09:46] Gnea not sure what to check /proc/kcore should be memory if there is Trojan.Tull inside like clamav said how can I remove that ? [09:46] Ast001: kcore is basiclly the running kernel [09:47] Ast001: uhm, i was referring to the oggconvert thing [09:47] all, my Youtube vids are getting no sound. Sliders on max. System sliders on max too. Any ideas? [09:47] how do i allow to connect to mysql server from local and from *.isp.net ? [09:47] Ohmu: are you using intrepid or hardy? [09:47] dr_willis: I think its working ... its at 25% [09:47] Ast001: from what your saying, I believe it's a false promise, however as kcore is running memory, you should be able to reboot and it would go (assuming it is a true trojan) [09:48] Ast001: are you saying that you found Trojan.Tull by running clamscan on /proc/kcore? [09:48] niall: you just need to grant to $user@%.isp.net [09:48] yes i am saying that [09:48] ziroday, hardy [09:48] bind address [09:48] clamscan said that [09:48] no? [09:48] Ohmu: install the package libflashsupport [09:48] ziroday, thanks! [09:48] niall: no, you need to grant the isp mask to your users [09:48] ikona, no i do not [09:49] ikonia, i work for an ISP [09:49] niall: then you should know this [09:49] I have run clamscan on / and it reports it found Trojan.Tull on //proc/kcore [09:49] Ikonia, and you're wrong [09:49] Ast001: what command did you use to do that? [09:49] niall, now i found it on an other XP CD. ntbackup.ex_ and expaned it :D it works.. fine [09:49] niall: mysql users are locked down to localhost at install time, you need to grant either a wildcard (%) or the isp hostmask to the users permissions [09:49] I used clamscan gtk front end [09:49] Oins, glad i could help [09:49] some simple gui interface for clamav [09:50] i do: %.bezeqint.net ? [09:50] avscan [09:50] ikonia, my last question was about video cards, i'm not sure what you're talking about [09:50] niall: that is wilcarding the host, but locking the domain === Guest19063 is now known as Sinister [09:50] niall: no - you knew I was talking about mysql [09:50] Anyone know how to stop GRUB from being repeated on the startup screen of Ubuntu 8.04 Server?

[09:52] :D [09:52] you said I need to reboot and everything should be fine ? [09:52] two easy questions, 1)any command to see the number of files and folders of filesystem?, by right-clicking says some not readable. 2) Can i install i386.deb's apps on the 64bits version of ubuntu? [09:53] niall: you need to let go of that sort of thing - it's not healthy to hold onto such negativity :) [09:53] any reasons i should upgrade to 8.1? [09:53] Ast001: not quite, re-read it [09:53] Richard_ wouldn't nautilus do that for you? [09:53] anything "NOTEWORTHY" in 8.10? [09:53] Highlight all folders under / and do properties? Er, files too? [09:53] Richard_, you can force the .debs to isntall.. but now if they actually WORK is a bigger issue... [09:53] chatcoppa, check the notes I linked you [09:53] Ast001: well, you need to make sure that what it found is really a virus [09:53] chatcoppa: no, if everything works fine, you dont need to upgrade, 8.10 has no LTS [09:53] Richard_: ls -lR | wc -l counts your files, and don't put 32bit debs on a 64bit system [09:53] Gnea, lol i'm aware, but that's just me, i really am a nice guy, i swear [09:53] Ast001: try doing a google search for Trojan.Tull [09:53] chatcoppa: read it [09:54] Does Amarok do internet radio? [09:54] im getting tired of my default stock ubuntu background image with the bird [09:54] chatcoppa: change it then [09:54] i recently changed my user account password... but gnome network manager keeps asking me for my old password on my keyring... why is this?

All this stuff, and 8.10 screws it up..But I'm grateful for Ubuntu. === Sinister is now known as Guest49078 [09:56] aladdin: Every one is every one.

I'm going to upgrade but wifi problems will be a real PITA. [10:04] Insults are not asked for here. [10:04] chatcoppa: the reason your graphics change is because the modules for the nvidia card is not setup to run with the openvz kernel [10:04] im not insulting [10:05] im just stating the truth [10:05] ... [10:05] Hi, my keyboard layout is not correct I have a Aspire 9410Z and the keypad is (sometimes) not recognized. [10:05] chmac: Yes.

[10:05] m0u5e: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager#Automatic%20%20Keyring [10:05] okay so how can i set it to have it run with the openvz kernel? [10:05] chatcoppa: did you follow this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVZ [10:05] Wow, the pople on #cisco are nasty, nasty people [10:05] m0u5e: See the section section regarding changing it [10:05] technopagan: Or did you upgrade? [10:05] chatcoppa: you need to manually load the modules [10:06] chatcoppa: but that is not something the ubuntu support channel is for [10:06] chmac: I didn't activate the backports-module this time. But even with backports, the iwl3945-kernelpanic bug should be fixed now [10:06] chmac: I made a clean install [10:06] when I press the 8 key on my numpad the mouse moves!

I'm about to clean install on a new disk, so hopefully it will be painless, otherwise I'll have to go downstairs into the cold to find an ethernet cable! :) [10:07] technopagan: Thanks for the feedback :) [10:07] chmac: You're welcome [10:07] I'll be here for a while if you need any more details on 3945 [10:07] yes that is what i followed as a matter of fact [10:07] Flannel: it just says /bash: /usr/lib/libpam-keyring/pam-keyring-tool: No such file or directory :( [10:08] where is the ubuntu support channel [10:08] chatcoppa: Well follow this right back to them. It is their kernel, not Ubuntu's. [10:08] chatcoppa: your in it, as you well know [10:08] .......... [10:08] Flannel: shouldn't the keyring password be the users password by default? i think it would get really confusing for a user to change his/her password and the keyring password to not change as well [10:09] chatcoppa: we support ubuntu in the general sense, but openvz is a specific application, which would probably better be covered in #openvz [10:09] What command do I need to use to install the compiz control panel?

[10:10] hey everyone... [10:10] hey [10:10] Hello, i have laptop with 350 GB HDD divided into 2 partitions (Ubuntu.Vista) , i am now using the live-cd and i would like to delete the Ubuntu partition , when i used the tool "gparted" i get an error msg : Unable to delete /dev/sda5! please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5 " ? [10:10] how cool is this... I have NetworkManager Icon back again... [10:10] after the upgrade it was missing... [10:10] Yuji1, which card and what version of ubuntu, which drivers and how installed [10:11] seems fairly simple in the end... [10:11] A remote server deny's telnet access ..whenever i connect to it - it gets connected and disconnected soon saying"Connection closed by foreign host" [10:11] I've removed all Nvidia-related stuff, an NVidia 6200. [10:11] Worked wonderfully, beautifully before the upgrade.. [10:11] I am stuck with this telnet for the past one day..can anyone help me [10:11] peerlessdeepak: that's what any smart admin would do [10:11] Gnea: ;) [10:11] peerlessdeepak: telnet is bad.. you should be using ssh [10:11] Yuji1, did you check release notes? [10:12] !notes [10:12] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [10:12] Gnea: I was able to connect to it yesterday [10:12] why is intrepid so buggy? [10:12] peerlessdeepak: is the remote system yours? [10:12] m0u5e: it's buggy? how? [10:12] waxhead: Gnea: The remote system is a router... yes its mine [10:12] peerlessdeepak: then you need to fix it [10:12] bazhang: I read about Nvidia drivers being leaned towards a free open-source instead of those proprietaries, but I prefer the proprietaries... [10:12] hi, has anyone switched from 8.04 32bit to 64? I'm looking for an "upgrade" option that will do that in syaptic rather than reinstalling [10:13] peerlessdeepak: on your own dude... [10:13] peerlessdeepak: is it running ubuntu? [10:13] matt70, there is no such option [10:13] bazhang: I do not want to use the new ones..Nothing has worked any way. :( [10:13] peerlessdeepak: can't offer much help ... since we don't know what it is... [10:13] I installed a new usplash theme using StartUp-Manager. The new usplash theme is metal-theme but when the computer is booting the usplash screen is not full screen. The usplash screen is a little frame [10:13] bazhang, so.... reinstall is the only option? [10:13] Yuji1, not sure about that card sorry [10:14] waxhead: sorry i knew its offtopic [10:14] bazhang: Its any card. I've tried several. [10:14] matt70, to change from 32bit to 64bit? Yes [10:14] No Nvidia driver works. Any combinations so far. [10:14] Gnea: well, with wireless and WPA keys, it still keeps asking me for my keys even though I have them saved... also, transmission no longer has a tray icon, nvidia has this weird static brick whenever i minimize or unminimize / open my windows, my network-manager keyring doesn't automatically update the password when I switch passwords, my cpu-freq panel doesn't display correctly anymore... [10:14] Yuji1, the 7300 works flawlessly here [10:14] peerlessdeepak: it's worth asking.. there are smart people here... [10:14] waxhead: but i am asking here since ppl would know about common telnet responses [10:14] Gnea: oh and cheese no longer works for me :/ [10:14] I used an upgrade, not a fresh install, could that be..? [10:14] Yuji1, doubtful [10:15] My sound is broken, how can I restart it? (/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart) and pulseaudio -k pulseaudio didn't work) [10:15] gnea: I am running ubuntu and from ubuntu box i am trying to telnet to the router box [10:15] m0u5e: is that with the same account that you upgraded from or have you tried making a new account and logging in with that? [10:15] Gnea: also, my sound is patchy, whenever I mute, sometimes I get this weird static sound... [10:15] peerlessdeepak: what's that make/model of the router? [10:15] *sigh* How would I go about installing the old, "non-new" drivers? [10:15] m0u5e: sounds like a speaker-wire connectivity issue [10:15] beetel 405bxl [10:15] Not sure which ones are it, so I tried all and well, that didn't help either. [10:16] Gnea: all of this worked fine in hardy [10:16] gnea: i was able to access its webinterface and even telnet till yesterday [10:16] gnea: but today somehow nothing works [10:16] gnea: nmap still shows port 23 to be open [10:16] Gnea: things that worked fine in hardy just stopped working in Intrepid... not to the point of where my system is hosed, but its just very annoying... [10:16] ...NMAP...lmao... === yunustj_ is now known as yunustj [10:16] peerlessdeepak: maybe your ISP locked you out [10:17] m0u5e: you... didn't answer my question [10:17] Gnea: well i also notice these problems on other accounts ive created if thats what your asking [10:18] i love ubuntu [10:18] morning all. [10:18] :) [10:18] re [10:18] Gnea: but even if I weren't, thats still a serious issue that separates Ubuntu from other more mature OS like windows (god forbid) [10:18] Makaveli_: :) [10:18] ive got an ssh connection to another ubuntu machine ..... if I leave the shell idle for over 5 minutes or so it either becomes totally unresponsive or disconnects me [10:19] Is there a reason that when I goto the Places menu on the top panel and click on my User or Desktop, Documents etc - it loads up it all in to 1 instance of VLC? [10:19] how do I increase the timeout? [10:19] in 8.04, why does Synaptic NOT find 'irssi' via Quick search? [10:19] gnea: thanks..i will to hack it out [10:19] m0u5e: okay, have you tried different kernel boot configurations? bug reports? [10:19] I want to remove Evince (the document reader that comes with Ubuntu) and Synaptic is also asking me to remove Ubuntu-Desktop along with it, will removing Ubuntu-Desktop harm anything? [10:19] peerlessdeepak: have fun [10:20] IchigoMorino: nah, it'll just remove your whole GUI. the kernel and commandline terminal consoles will run just fine. [10:20] can anyone please see if they can Quick Search for irssi in Synaptic for me, please? 8.04. it should be in 'intrepid/main' distro/component [10:20] bazhang: Do you think a full fresh install would resolve this issue? ...I've so much on this installation, settings I mean. [10:20] Gnea: well my kernel's updated three times since I've been having these problems and they haven't gone away... I haven't filed a bug report yet, cause I'm about to reformat my system and I want to see if these problems persist after I reformat ... (i hope not) === john is now known as Guest27778 [10:20] hello all I upgraded my system last night 8.4>8.10 and when i booted this morning my mouse is all jumpy and mostly un usable can anyone advise? [10:20] Yuji1, does the livecd work okay? what about creating a new user and trying that [10:20] Gnea: I'm just trying to figure out of others have been having these problems, and if there is a solution or if it's just me [10:20] What are Nautilus scripts used for? I'm sorry if that is offtopic. [10:21] I only have a LiveCD of 8.04 LTS. New User? I could try that.. [10:21] m0u5e: can you pastebin your dmesg output please? [10:21] anyone has maya installed? [10:22] Bupsss: I have heard of it. What is that? [10:22] Gnea, isn't it kind of silly to force you to remove everything that is part of the GUI just to remove a document reader? [10:22] hey guys how do i downgrade a package ? [10:22] IchigoMorino, its a meta-package [10:23] Bowtrik, it's a 3d modelling software [10:23] hi, I am new to ubuntu. I have just installed ubuntu 8.10. It seems that the installer has deleted home dir of my other distro. Is that a way to recover it? [10:23] IchigoMorino, it wont hurt the gui [10:23] Gnea said it would. [10:24] Bupsss: That must be why I have heard of it. I hope someone can help you. You having trouble installing it yourself? [10:24] IchigoMorino: you know, I'm not entirely certain that it will actually remove everything - since it is a meta-package, it probably won't. you can always just reinstall it afterwards and everythign should be fine [10:25] IchigoMorino: but it does strike me as very odd that it would do that [10:25] Bowtrik, no.... i'm trying to install a software through wine, but it doesnt accept the license and as maya has the same license system, i was hoping to understand how does it works on linux [10:25] IchigoMorino, just reinstall if you want to upgrade to the next version via apt [10:25] IchigoMorino, in six months time === frogzoo is now known as pighoop [10:25] Gnea: sorry its taking a while, my browser froze-ish [10:26] Bupsss: I only used wine once to try and install the newest version of AIM. Didn't work. [10:26] Pidgin is fine though. I really like it. [10:26] Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69567/ (its a dell xps m1330) [10:26] It handles AIM, but it also lets me on IRC, and probably anything else I could imagine. [10:27] hi, is anyone experiencing a very slow shutdown/poweroff on intreprid? === pighoop is now known as PipeHag [10:27] Bowtrik: once pidgin upgraded it's msn libraries i was more than satisfied [10:27] I opened a report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/295145 [10:27] Gnea: thanks for the help btw [10:27] I still don't like the buddy icon system too much. [10:27] I installed / uninstalled varnish through apt-get, and now everynight logrotate says this: error: stat of /var/log/varnish/varnish.log failed: No such file or directory [10:28] Bowtrik, but does pigdin accept videocall with msn system? [10:28] hello all I upgraded my system last night 8.4>8.10 and when i booted this morning my mouse is all jumpy and mostly un usable can anyone advise? [10:28] I can't find anything that connects logrotate to varnish ;\ and I also --purged varnish === Richard_ is now known as Richhard_ [10:28] Bupsss: I actually don't use MSN. Perhaps m0u5e knows? [10:28] m0u5e: np - btw, OUCH, you've got some serious problems there [10:29] Bupsss: I don't think msn supports video conferencing (yet)... :( [10:29] Gnea: :( whats the problem? [10:29] m0u5e: for some reason, your system isn't passing data very well across the bus... try this as a boot option: pci=routeirq [10:29] m0u5e ok, tnx [10:29] m0u5e: you need to re-align your interrupts so that everything flows smoothly - there are too many inconsistancies [10:30] I installed dotnet20 with winetricks on wine 1.1.8, and now try to run a helloworld example (now it works on another wine installation). But when I try to run it, it says: Attempted to read or write protected memory, and gives me a unhandled exception with some gdiplus. Tried native gdiplus, still doesn't work. Ideas? [10:30] Hi everyone [10:30] hi pizza [10:30] Gnea: sorry how would I set that boot option? under grub? this won't affect my systems ability to boot will it? O_O; [10:30] m0u5e: like lines 161-247 - that's VERY strange [10:30] who remember 2Pac? [10:30] Gnea: will a clean installation of intrepid fix this problem? [10:31] Makaveli_, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [10:31] ok ask :) sry === PipeHag is now known as frogzoo === martin_ is now known as newbie_martin [10:31] I have a question: which version is recommendable now? 8.0 or 8.10? Yesterday I installed the 8.10 one but O had a lot of problem with the bugy NetworkManager in order to make a VPN connection to work, so I am thinking about installing the 8.04 back.. Does it worth to install the 8.10 now or shall I wait some months and go then with 8.10? [10:31] m0u5e: no, it should help it boot better, i don't think a clean install is going to make a difference (i could be wrong about that, but...)... try editting your /boot/grub/menu.lst and for the first (top) kernel line, add pci=routeirq to the end of 'quiet splash' [10:32] hello ubuntu users [10:32] hi [10:32] i have a small problem with okular [10:32] i cant get the presentation mode on fullscreen. what am i doing wrong? [10:33] Guys :D When i shutdown the laptop i can see the orange bar of the splash going down, but it won't finnish, it goes to 80-90% and then the pc goes to a blank state(black) with a blinkin' cursor on top left, so i have to press the power button myself to shut it down, could i have damaged any file of the system or left temporary files(as the splash doesnt go to 0% unloading) by pressing the button? [10:33] Just simple question: 0.04 or 8.10? [10:34] Gnea: recovery mode will allow me to boot normally in the case of something catastrophic happening right? [10:34] hi [10:34] I need bandwidth limiting on a pr user basis. Can anyone suggest a software piece (no gui), or a nice howto on iptables ? [10:34] Just simple question: 8.04 or 8.10? [10:34] m0u5e: yeah [10:34] Pizarro: 8.10 [10:34] DIFH-iceroot, why? [10:34] m0u5e: do you have a livecd just in case? [10:34] Pizarro: newest version [10:34] Pizarro: but 8.04 has LTS === martin_ is now known as isthereanyfreeni [10:35] how can i change some settings how to open a file-typ in nautilus? [10:35] Gnea: i have a 8.04 livecd :( (i'd rather not do anything extremely dangerous though... i'm moving towards finals week, and have quite a few projects due soon...) [10:35] DIFH-iceroot, but it is still under testing right? yesterday I found out for isntance that the netwokrmanager is bugy with VPN connections [10:35] m0u5e: i understand - give this a try. [10:36] Pizarro: what is under testing? [10:36] m0u5e: heh, i have to open some powerpoints for a class, too... just got OO3 installed in intrepid, so kinda stoked about that [10:36] Pizarro: no its final [10:36] Myrtti, I am asking if the new version 8.10 is still under testing [10:36] Gnea: alright, gonna go ahead and reboot with pci=routeirq after splash [10:36] Gnea: oh hows oo3? ive been meaning to give it a try [10:36] Pizarro: it's November, so no, it's been released. [10:36] how can i change some settings how to open a file-typ in nautilus? [10:36] Gnea: anyways brb :) [10:37] Myrtti, but yesterday I found in the launchpad that network manager for example doesn't work properly in order to save information from the applet to the pptp files for instance..and I had a lot of problems === martin_ is now known as kubuntu8 [10:37] I installed dotnet20 with winetricks on wine 1.1.8, and now try to run a helloworld example (now it works on another wine installation). But when I try to run it, it says: Attempted to read or write protected memory, and gives me a unhandled exception with some gdiplus. Tried native gdiplus, still doesn't work. Ideas? [10:38] Myrtti, that the principal reason why I am thinking on going back to 8.04 (where was working pretty good) [10:38] bazhang: I tried apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 Results: [10:38] Error! Your kernel source for kernel 2.6.24-19-generic cannot be found at /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build or /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/source. Installing initial module Error! Could not locate nvidia.ko for module nvidia in the DKMS tree.You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.24-19-generic (i686) first.Done. [10:38] Pizarro, then you need to fresh install [10:39] bazhang, I installed from CD into a new hard disk [10:39] Hey, does anyboyd know if there's any way to enable the "fonts:///" way to install ttf files in Intrepid? [10:39] Yuji1, this is hardy? [10:39] Intrepid. [10:39] bazhang, and the bug is well known in the launchpad..so it is not as stable as it supposed to be.. [10:39] Yuji1, what is with that kernel [10:39] No clue. [10:40] ...Wait. [10:40] Yuji1, what does uname -a show [10:40] I am using old kernel I believe. [10:40] if that is Intrepid, how can it have that kernel? [10:40] I told grub to keep my config. [10:40] oho [10:40] except from an update [10:40] how can i change some settings how to open a file-typ in nautilus please??? [10:40] ls on /boot shows a 2.6.27-7. [10:40] no wonder [10:40] Yuji1, When i shutdown the laptop i can see the orange bar of the splash going down, but it won't finnish, it goes to 80-90% and then the pc goes to a blank state(black) with a blinkin' cursor on top left, so i have to press the power button myself to shut it down, could i have damaged any file of the system or left temporary files(as the splash doesnt go to 0% unloading) by pressing the button? [10:40] What can cause this? any proccess still running? [10:40] (and of course my current) [10:40] So I just edit menu.lst to newer kernel. [10:41] so my question, If I have 8.04 with the latest updates...won't it be the same situation as having 8.10? [10:41] now i'm using x64 ubuntu 8.10,some minutes ago, i booted from ubuntu 8.04 live cd, and there my phone worked good, but on this version it don't work [10:41] i connect it, and on computer don't happen anything, but phone shows a data transfer [10:41] any idea? [10:42] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/network-manager-pptp [10:42] has anyone bought powerdvd from the store yet? [10:44] Ok, off to install 8.10 on a fully encrypted disk, here's hoping... :) [10:44] Hi I just reboot and start avscan again and it found virus Trojan.Clicker.Small-33 in /proc/kcore again [10:44] Gnea: good news, i'm still alive :3 [10:44] m0u5e: lol [10:44] Gnea: you want a new output [10:45] Gnea: you want a new output? * [10:45] Switching to a Virtual Console with Ctrl-Alt-F# does not work for me. It either tells me I have an invalid video mode, or kicks me back to X. How can I fix this? [10:45] m0u5e: OO3 is working very well. the PowerPoint presentations made with Office2007 work perfectly with it. [10:45] So... nobody knows if there is any way to make "fonts:///" work again? [10:45] Wow, didn't know they were viruses for Linux! [10:45] Gnea: how bout writer compatibility? [10:45] m0u5e: sure :) [10:45] m0u5e: haven't looked into that one much yet [10:45] Hi, how do I get info on my lcd screen? (similair to lshw) [10:46] m0u5e: i do know that 2.4 was able to do the basics of O2k7 .docx at least... but it couldn't do .pptx [10:46] I didn't too it is first time in reports something [10:46] Seems better bazhang. [10:46] Every thing is normal, that is good. [10:46] hey [10:46] Yuji1, having a current kernel will do that :) [10:47] Gnea: yeah, i like ppt07s reflective picture things :D [10:47] ...Well I was about near passing out when upgrading. So I thought, just keep, thinking it was a setting. No tea does that. [10:47] But emerald --replace does nothing still. [10:47] can you ask for warez here? [10:47] have in my pc Kiwi-8.04-ubuntu [10:47] brain187: Warez in HTS, not here. [10:47] brain187, no [10:47] >.>; [10:47] how often does proc/net/dev restart [10:47] bazhang: But then desktop effects aren't enabled.. [10:47] Yuji1, why not use compiz-decorator [10:47] every restart? [10:48] Yuji1, emerald is fairly flawed imo [10:48] "Desktop effects could not be enabled" :( [10:48] bazhang: Well it doesn't flaw for how it used to work... [10:48] But I can't enable Desktop Effects. :/ [10:48] m0u5e: i am noticing some things that aren't sliding right :P [10:48] Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69576/ still think its the same though :( [10:49] I also noticed that Evolution won't send mail out now, at all. Settings are all perfect, other client works too... [10:49] Gnea: i hope reformatting fixes some of the stuff... usually an upgrade is always really messy [10:49] how often does proc/net/dev resart [10:49] m0u5e: are all of the quirks still there? [10:49] m0u5e: Hasn't been for me ever, until the .10.. [10:50] lshw doesn't return any info on my lcd screen, which command does? [10:50] Great now sound doesn't work for FLVs.. [10:51] Easy to solve. [10:51] how do i update hardware drivers ? my graphic driver ? [10:51] Gnea: well cheese still doesn't work :( [10:51] Ah...bazhang, in showing which drivers are active (restricted drivers manager or whatever) it doesn't even show NVidia... [10:52] !hi [10:52] Why did they disable the fonts:/// option?? [10:52] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [10:52] how do i update hardware drivers ? my graphic driver ? [10:52] Omg what happened to display-config-gtk? [10:52] leohartx: just as any other package [10:53] m0u5e: what's the model # again? [10:53] fosco__: how ?, my graphic card is intel x3100 [10:53] * outbackwifi has just upgraded his distro to 8.10 and everything seems to work! Is it because he retains his customized kernel? [10:53] leohartx: apt-get will upgrade it as soon as it is available [10:53] outbackwifi: I retained mine. Screwed a lot up. -_- [10:54] Gnea: dell xps m1330 [10:54] Gnea: its one of the first ones... its had a few problems, already had to have the mobo and opt drive replaced :( [10:54] how do you get the hostname of your box? [10:54] hello all friends i have some troubles with cheese in my ubuntu 8.10 [10:54] Yuji1: i need to retain the kernel cos its for the eeepc and the stock doesnt support a lot of the hardware [10:54] ole_: i do too :( [10:54] PB: hostname [10:55] mouse ok then go back to 8.04 hi hi [10:55] I solved the problem... it was the boot priority in BIOS [10:55] mou5e i think the kernel i bad in 8.10 [10:56] m0u5e: i don't know, honestly.... if you've got backups, i suggest trying the install fresh [10:56] Gnea: I always have backups >:3 [10:56] hahaha [10:56] :) [10:56] * outbackwifi likes the darkroom theme a lot [10:56] I wish I did. I need an offline registry editor for Windows XP. [10:57] m05e ok but as newbeginner is ubuntu 8.04 very good [10:57] * BoltClock likes DarkRoom too [10:57] i wish dark room would get ported to 8.04 [10:57] Yuji1: that's what GPO's are for ;) [10:57] GPO? [10:57] nevermind. [10:58] Gnea: well as long I preserve my home folder it should be okay (this machine actually has vista installed on a sep partition and all my important school work is saved there [10:58] bazhang: uname -a still shows 2.6.24-19-generic. [10:58] mr_polite: i found this and managed to get intrepid themes on hardy: http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2008/09/try-out-intrepid-themes-in-hardy.html [10:58] -_- [10:58] m05e try http://olehasselbalch.homepage.dk made with kompozer in ubunty [10:58] m0u5e: lemme guess - you got suckered into dell's vista-upgrade-dvd program? [10:59] System > Administration > Netzwork Tools > Netstat > Active Network Services reports in four lines: "Protocol=tcp; IP Source=0.0.0.0; State=Listen." Only the port numbers differ. Why does this computer listen on 4 ports to all interfaces? [10:59] Source. [10:59] Thats why. [10:59] Gnea: more like i got my xps m1330 before dell offered ubuntu on it :( [10:59] Change to a specific. [10:59] m0u5e: oh - yeah, that was an interesting time [10:59] Gnea: and because i still experience issues at time, I can't "get rid" of vista, because dell will always ask me to install it again before they fix my hardware parts :/ [11:00] Gnea: so i'm kinda forced to keep vista... and yeah, dell won't let me switch from Vista to Ubuntu [11:00] Gnea: oh... and I can't play games on Ubuntu :( [11:00] m0u5e: yeah, as long as you're on their warranty program, that's the best way to go, unfortunately :/ [11:01] er her nogen der skriver dansk [11:01] !dk [11:01] For at få dansksproget support til Ubuntu, bedes du venligst gå til #ubuntu-dk. I denne kanal forefindes kun engelsksproget support. [11:01] m0u5e: you could always buy another hard drive for it and throw ubuntu on that and just swap 'em - kinda defeats the whole dual-booting thing tho [11:01] Gnea: I might just find an old laptop sata hd, install vista on it, than swap it with another HD where I install ubuntu [11:01] Gnea: LOL yeah! [11:01] how do i install x11 themes? [11:01] ubottu ok thanks [11:01] Gnea: well i spend 95% of my time in ubuntu anyhow [11:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about ok thanks [11:01] guys does xubuntu boot and login to desktop faster than ubuntu? [11:01] Hey party persons. [11:01] :) [11:01] c0re_: from gnome-look.org [11:02] !hi| ArtyG [11:02] ArtyG: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:02] Gnea: installing ubuntu on an old dell as I speak... gonna test the intrepid alt install disc heh [11:02] wolfie2x: same time aprox [11:02] wolfie2x: marginally yes, however your mileage may vary [11:02] Yay bots. Regardless, does anything thing that they can answer some stupid questions of mine when I get an install rolling? [11:02] m0u5e: nice. well, i gotta catch some z's, good luck [11:02] wolfie2x: i always hibernate so gnome apparently boots very fast [11:02] Gnea: thanks for the help :) gonna go to bed soon too, thanks [11:02] m0u5e: you're welcome :) [11:02] outbackwifi: does hibernate work!?? never works for me :-O [11:03] outbackwifi, yea i know where to get them but how do i use them? [11:03] outbackwifi: not in hardy nor in intrepid [11:03] wolfie2x: sure does; both suspend and hibernate [11:03] outbackwifi: do u see a progress bar while hibernating? i see a cursor blinking.. that's it [11:03] x11 Cursor themes [11:04] wolfie2x: nope i dont see a progress bar but a lot of disk activity and then click. the machine goes dead [11:05] outbackwifi: how often do u do a clean restart/shutdown? [11:06] wolfie2x: once a day; cant remember [11:06] What command checks the ADSL connection to the modem of my ADSL provider? [11:06] When I start "check memory" from live cd, it gives a blue screen with some text at top, then instantly reboots [11:06] outbackwifi: so u dont actually hibernate/resume for days? [11:07] amews_aj: Sounds like a fail to me. [11:07] bullgard4: not sure what you mean; if you're using pppoe then ifconfig shows the interface [11:07] ArtyG: memory or memtest ? [11:07] wolfie2x: hmm guess not [11:07] Well, if it just crashes out, I don't think it really matters. [11:07] ArtyG: I can boot my machine with no problems. [11:07] outbackwifi: Not PPPOE but ADSL. [11:08] Of course, it could just be a lack of godly luck when it comes to doing those, I find constant problems like that with the Ubuntu booting from an install disk. [11:08] bullgard4: what's ur ADSL modem? USB? [11:08] bullgard4: you mean like you want to check ATM frames and stuff? [11:08] bullgard4: ADSL has 2 methods: PPPoE and PPPoA [11:09] wolfie2x: An ADSL modem is hardware. USB is bus standard. Both have nothing to do with each other. [11:09] a [11:09] bullgard4: your problem statement is really not clear [11:09] outbackwifi: Roughly speaking, yes. [11:10] bullgard4: just trying to figure ur setup.. It took 3 weeks for me to get my USB ADSL modem working [11:10] bullgard4: are you trying to fix the connection from the adsl modem to the dslam or from laptop/pc to adsl modem? [11:10] wolfie2x: I am not speaking about any USB ADSL modems. [11:10] Stupid question everyone: How can I make the Ubuntu Alt Installer not whine about not having an internet connection? I mean, it's the full install ISO... === Artemisgoldfish is now known as artyg [11:11] thanks for Ibex [11:11] artyg: at what stage does that whining happen? [11:11] outbackwifi: I am not trying to fix it. I am asking for a program command that checks the connection to the modem at the privider's side. [11:12] provider's [11:12] Well, I'm installing the Alt install (Previously, on "Whining: The series") and it forces me to pick a mirror and such. [11:12] And if I don't have it connected to my slow, slow internet, it won't let me install it as it is on the storage device. [11:12] bullgard4: most adsl modems come with a diagnostic utility. these check the adsl as well as the ip parameters. [11:13] artyg: ah you're trying to install from an iso of the alt cd which is on a storage device? [11:13] Yes. [11:14] artyg: cant do that, im afraid [11:14] Really? [11:14] outbackwifi: No. Most ADSL modems at the provider's side do not come with a diagnostic utility. They are professional products for professionals. [11:14] Because if I try the normal install, the video mode is all crazy because of the stupidness of VIA Unichrome. [11:14] i am trying to change x11 cursors themes via update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme.. but its doesnt change the themes.. any help? [11:14] bullgard4: i didnt say at provider's side, i said your modem. and the ones at the providers end are called DSLAM [11:15] artyg: you need to burn the alt iso to a cd and boot off it [11:15] So it won't just work from a USB MSD? [11:15] c0re_: system->preferences->appearance-> install [11:15] I mean, even other ubuntu-based distros will boot and install from it fine. [11:15] artyg: unless you made a usb installer out of it [11:16] UNetbootin, makes great bootable USBs. [11:16] 810为什么老是断线? [11:16] !cn | topk [11:16] topk: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [11:16] artyg: so it stops being an iso after that; but coming back to your question, i havent seen mine asking for the 'net [11:17] Yeah, it gets to "Choose a mirror of the Ubuntu archive", which it won't go past until I actually connect it to the internet, which tries to download all the files to install rather then reading them from the MSD. [11:17] outbackwifi: But I asked for an Ubuntu command to check the connection between my computer and the DSLAM. [11:18] bullgard4: you didnt; you asked for a software to check the modem at the provider's end [11:18] outbackwifi, to install cursors themes? [11:18] c0re_: yes; once it gets installed, just click on customize and select the cursor from the pointers tab [11:19] outbackwifi: does it make sense reposting my question here every other day? :-) [11:19] artyg: that looks like a netboot image [11:19] Are most netboot images 713MB? [11:19] what dvd ripper can you recommend?i just tried dvd::rip and the output avi file doesnt seem to be ripped cleanly [11:19] Brucevdk: sure; diff people come in everyday [11:19] cool thanks outbackwifi [11:19] outbackwifi: alright then :) [11:19] outbackwifi: Sorry. Please read again: "12:06 < bullgard4> What command checks the ADSL connection to the modem of my ADSL provider?" [11:19] If anybody has extensive experience with setting up permissions on locally shared folders between multiple users, e.g. using traditional UGO permissions or POSIX ACLs could one take a look at the following thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975488 The problem is that when copying files into the shared folder, the permissions of those files are preserved (denying other people access in certain cases). [11:19] wers: ogmrip [11:20] thanks fosco__ :) [11:20] hello [11:20] bullgard4: sorry, cant help you there; [11:20] !hi | Don123 [11:20] Don123: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:21] outbackwifi: Thank you, anyway. [11:21] bullgard4: yw [11:21] did anyone else have a problem installing 8.10 to a raid 0 array....its showing in the partition manager at install that they are separate drives when they should be one big raid drive? [11:21] How do I shut down gnome? I have tried to type sudo init 3 but nothing happens [11:21] hello, has anyone been having in problems with ibis and gstreamer codecs, i isntalled the codecs and my videos are coming out all flickery :\ [11:22] Ahtenus: it normally shuts down by clicking on the little red icon on top right corner and selecting shutdown [11:22] anyone else has that much problems with the new vlc player? it's buffering and lagging the streams i watched well with the old version... [11:23] perfect in vista, not tried bunt [11:23] outbackwifi: but i only want to shut down gnome and enter terminal... to save ram using ubuntu server.. [11:23] I'm actually having less problems with the new VLC than the old one (which had a tendency to crash when playing DVD's) [11:24] Ahtenus: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [11:24] and close session [11:25] Hey, extra-stupid question: How do I get the terminal to change it's display properties (number of rows of text) [11:25] is there any reason why the raid disks are showing as separate disks during install? [11:25] I am trying to copy files to a USB drive in ubuntu 8.04, but I keep getting an error saying "the destination drive is read only". What do I have to do to allow writing to the drive? [11:26] Ahtenus: ah system-administration-services click unlock and uncheck gdm. once you do this, select logout or ctl+alt+backspace [11:26] SuperMario1776: if it has a write-protect switch, flick it to write mode [11:27] anyone know of a repository for LADSPA plugins? [11:27] I don't know the protocols here but I have a question about monitor resolution. Version 7.10 correctly detected my 1440x900 monitor but I made a fresh install of 8.04.1 and it gives me a choice either of 640x480 or using 1440x900 in a virtual mode which is still apparently a 640x480 setting. How do I set it to do real 1440x900? [11:27] artyg: gnome-terminal --geometry=80x50 [11:27] I mean, the REAL terminal. No Xserver [11:28] 800x480 is a terrible non-standard resolution. [11:28] 320*240 > all [11:28] Don123: iit really depends on whether you have the correct driver for your graphics card. default most X servers start using a vga driver if they dont detect your graphics card driver [11:29] No Xserver here, just the text term. [11:29] #bandung [11:29] This is going to sound stupid probably, but I used to change resolutions by display-config-gtk. Now how since it is removed? [11:29] Yuji: Try going into the xorg.conf? [11:29] i need help with screen.... how do i exit screen without kill screen? [11:30] ...But I want the GUI. ;_; [11:30] It shows unknown monitor but it worked fine with 7.10. When I click detect monitor it doesn't seem to do anything. [11:30] system -> perferrances -> screen res ? [11:30] Hrm, can I force display-config-gtk to install? [11:30] Dr_Willis: gnome-display-properties no good? [11:30] ehh Yuji1 ^^^^ [11:30] Oh wait. [11:30] Thats the thingie. [11:31] I thought it was display-config-gtk.. [11:31] :) [11:31] x11 [11:31] ..Broken. [11:31] Doesn't show correct monitor. [11:31] c0re_: Screen exits when the last window is closed. [11:31] testing out the usb Startup Disk thing now.. :) it seems to work well..but sadly i dont think one can install new software onit and have that rembered. :( [11:32] artyg: dont know if this is what you want but look here --> http://paul.jurco.ro/2008/02/28/ubuntu-console-text-size/ [11:32] Yuji1: using what video cards? [11:32] Nvidia 6200 [11:32] Monitor is only not known. [11:32] Dell Trinitron 21 inch. [11:32] Reilithion, yea after exiting terminal i can screen -r to resume.. but i want to hide screen.. how do i do it? [11:32] * outbackwifi just installed cheese and checked that it was working fine (integrated webcam) [11:32] Yuji1: ive always used the nvidia-settings tool. [11:32] hi all , i just installed ubuntu and skype . I cannot get the audio and video to work :( [11:32] the video is all green [11:33] and the audio capture doesnt work [11:33] why does my flash applications stop working randomly? app goes gray and if i'm lucky i get sounds. [11:33] Darn, the installation console has nothing in /mnt/. [11:33] Sorsis: Like an NES? [11:33] i am running ubuntu 8.10 [11:33] c0re_: I really don't know. Have you read `man screen`? [11:33] Reilithion, nope [11:33] c0re_: Might be a good idea. [11:34] c0re_, some would say rtfm [11:34] amdpox: Indeed. [11:34] Thank you all. Finally, decent resolution. 1,600 X 1,200. [11:34] artyg: I don't get what you mean. [11:34] carbonmonoxide: have you selected the audio out and capture devices in skype options? [11:34] Whereas for my part, I would very much like for someone to show me a man page explaining why I cannot switch to a Virtual Terminal. [11:35] Sorsis: The NES had the amazing ability (thanks to the lockout hardware) of launching a blinking gray screen upon insertion of a cart and powering up. [11:35] Reilithion, what do you get on ctrl+alt+1? [11:35] wow [11:35] *f1 [11:35] even Ubuntu is quiet [11:35] òóò æèâóò ëèíóêñîéäû ) [11:35] Any more ideas Outbackwifi?

It took i while to find it because i got gnome in swedish... [11:36] Reilithion, are you running compositing? [11:36] hi where can i find ubuntu sources? [11:36] Video Card? It's built into the motherboard. [11:37] amdpox: If I'm lucky, it tries to switch to the virtual terminal and gives me an invalid video mode. [11:37] amdpox: Not sure. What is that? [11:37] Ahtenus: press ctl+alt+f1 to get to the first text console [11:37] does anyone know what is up with the random freezes? [11:37] õì ... [11:37] outbackwifi: I have selected pulse as audio option [11:37] Reilithion, "advanced desktop effects", compiz [11:37] outbackwifi: aha nice :) [11:37] for input output and ring [11:37] amdpox: Oh that. No I am not. [11:37] when i do a test call [11:38] Don123: can you pastebinit your lspci? [11:38] i can here the echo123 speech [11:38] odd... last times I had issues with vttys was with very early unstable compiz [11:38] does anybody know where i can get ubuntu source ? [11:38] what video card/driver, Reilithion? [11:38] ubuntu source?? [11:38] carbonmonoxide: are you on a laptop or desktop? [11:39] amdpox: I have two, (and I should note that the problem /seemed/ to start when I began using both): A Radeon X850, and an older Radeon 9200. [11:39] Sorry Outbackwifi I don't know what that means. I'm a relative newbie to Ubuntu. [11:39] OdnsRvns: yes [11:39] hi [11:39] i am having trouble [11:39] unohu, any ubuntu-specific code would be available on launchpad, I presume [11:39] what do you mean is it a distron of just the code [11:39] i am running ubuntu 8.04.1 [11:39] outbackwifi: I am on a Desktop [11:39] everything worked just fine and dandy [11:39] yea what pox said [11:39] i shut my system down the normal way [11:39] restarted it [11:39] Anyone know how to delete modelines from active xorg sessions or from all via xorg.conf or something? [11:40] Don123: can you open up a terminal and type sudo apt-get install pastebinit? once this is done type lspci > lspci.txt and cat lspci.txt | pastebinit [11:40] now gnome fails to start [11:40] hi all...any of u hav a linux commands doc..i like to learn minux commands...thanks [11:40] amdpox: cant i download source iso or something like that ? [11:40] OdnsRvns: ^^ [11:40] unohu, what do you want to do? [11:40] monsoon_king: Search "RUTE" [11:40] it says 'i could not start your session so i have started the failsafe xterm session... [11:40] OxDeadC0de: using gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:40] most of what is "ubuntu" is a collection of other open-source projects [11:40] hi guys, how do I add folders to my path under ubuntu ? [11:40] i look at ~/.xsession-errors [11:41] it says it cannot open libtermcap.so.2 [11:41] I want proprietry apps [11:41] i tried sudo apt-get install termcap-compat [11:41] outbackwifi: i can record sound with the "Sound Recorder" applicatino [11:41] I'll try it and see what happens Outbackwifi. [11:41] it say no candidate package is available even though it is referenced from another package [11:41] artyg, ok [11:41] amdpox: but if they are distributing ..then they will distribute source also along with it.... [11:41] what is wrong [11:41] how do I modify my PATH under ubuntu ? [11:41] I get User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored error on login, what to do ? [11:41] abe3k: export PATH=$PATH:/new/path [11:41] what are you trying to d o [11:42] anyone? [11:42] i am trying to ditch Windows and this is the final stumbling block [11:42] how do i update or install graphic driver ? [11:42] outbackwifi : thanks man [11:42] carbonmonoxide: open up alsamixer in a terminal and see if the mic is muted [11:42] !info termcap--compat [11:42] hi! is there any command/script in ubuntu 8.04 to set all the environment to an older version of gcc in case multiple gcc versions are installed? [11:42] Package termcap--compat does not exist in intrepid [11:43] Hmm, Linux really doesn't like to be emulated in VPC2007... [11:43] amdpox: As it is, I have two lovely (separate) desktops on which I can run graphical programs. But to give up Virtual Consoles for that would be very nearly unacceptable. [11:43] use virtual box [11:43] happydawg: it is generally CC (if you're trying to compile FOSS) [11:43] OdnsRvns: amdpox i am trying to get the souce of all the programs on the ubuntu cd. [11:43] I was looking for something that "takes advantage" of Hardware Virtualization assistance. [11:43] happydawg: i.e export CC=gcc-x.y [11:44] unohu, for what purpose? You can the source of individual applications from sourceforge amongst other places [11:44] outbackwifi, there are a whole bunch of environment variables though, depending on if you're working with gcc, or g++, also preprocessors, etc. no script which sets this all correctly per installed gcc package? [11:44] artyg: vmware 6.5 does that [11:44] amdpox: no ubuntu will have patches to the upstream sources. [11:44] amdpox: i want also that [11:44] happydawg: these can be set inside the Makefile [11:44] The short is that I'm too lazy to grab any other software X-D [11:45] artyg: lol [11:45] What exactly is High Resolution CPU mode? O.o [11:45] outbackwifi: I checked alsamixer. The capture was at the lowest setting ( zero ) [11:45] outbackwifi, okay, thanks! [11:45] happydawg: also, the configure script tries to guess it for you [11:45] unohu, I speak a lie, Ubuntu does have a source repository with their changes [11:45] outbackwifi: let me check the sound capture now [11:45] carbonmonoxide: ok [11:45] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/{main,universe,multiverse}/source/ [11:46] outbackwifi: THe sound capture desnt wrk :( [11:47] Man, I'd really like it if my laptop had a CD drive. [11:47] carbonmonoxide: try changing from pulse in skype options to something else. usually one of them works fine [11:47] artyg: because? [11:48] artyg: Would it matter if that drive worked or not? [11:48] ;-) [11:48] amdpox: i went to archive.ubuntu earlier...but no sources there... [11:48] artyg: havent used a cd drive for a year now :O [11:48] The Alt Install is used to looking for the CDROM drive, but I'm trying to install from a USB stick, which involves mounting the USB drive as such. [11:49] amdpox: i think archive.ubuntu for the package manager to locate the sources [11:49] And I'm too much of a tard to figure out mounting the USB stick. [11:49] hi all [11:49] unohu, they have source tarballs [11:49] !hi | dida [11:49] dida: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:49] outbackwifi: the sound now works correctly . THanks !! [11:49] artyg: that's interesting, I've installed Ubuntu from USB on an Eee PC without a CD-Rom drive. Am I missing something? [11:49] wel i solved the problem by installing libncurses5-dev [11:49] carbonmonoxide: yw, im glad for you [11:49] dunno why i had to [11:49] next problem [11:49] outbackwifi: THe video problem still persists thugh [11:50] yesterday compiz was working great [11:50] Brucevdk: me too [11:50] i did a normal shut-down / reboot [11:50] Did you reboot and make a USB install stick with the program in the Ubuntu disk? [11:50] now compiz refuses to start [11:50] why is that [11:50] amdpox: /ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/source/sources.bz just 493 kb [11:50] artyg: nah it was an older release where one had to use a shell script according to instructions over at the wiki [11:50] carbonmonoxide: try seeing if your user is part of the video group or something [11:50] Hello! Is there any way to make the pam_limits PAM module write a message to the user that tries to login if the login was unsuccessful instead of writing it to the log? As it is now the user only gets disconnected. [11:51] outbackwifi: okay. checking [11:51] hello all, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox ... it reads: "For the above command if you get error as """ mount: unknown filesystem type 'vboxfs' "", Then just change the vboxfs to vboxsf, means the command will be : """mount -t vboxsf share mountpoint""" [11:51] artyg: where does it start looking for the cdrom drive? I've got a USB stick with Ibex generated through System -> Administration here. I can check if you want? [11:51] it makes no sense at all [11:51] It looks for the cdrom in /dev/cdrom. [11:51] (Crazy, I know) [11:51] artyg: which stage of installation [11:51] artyg: actually, it was a USB stick generated through System -> Administration, worked fine without a CD [11:52] Yeah, I'm using a USB MSD generated with unetbootin. [11:52] Hence, I'm moronic, but I'm too lazy to restart my computer for anything because I loves uptime. [11:52] unohu, http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/release/source/ [11:52] i setup dns. but when i use it in domain panel [11:53] Baversjo: on the shell or gdm? [11:53] hello [11:53] Okay Outbackwifi, I did that. Apparently it posted something on a bulletin board. Now what? [11:53] outbackwifi: the user has permission to capture webcam [11:53] Currently in termial, how do i do to see the whole --help text? [11:53] Don123: give me the url [11:54] outbackwifi: THere is no 'Video' grioup in the groups list [11:54] it said the nameserver my_hostname is not a valid name server [11:54] Ahtenus: pipe it to less [11:54] guys, when i turn on my digit cam on the USB, photo grabber app appears but says theres no software that can get the photos [11:54] outbackwifi: Gdm I think [11:54] If you're in the terminal, shift+pageup or shift+pagedown [11:54] outbackwifi: additionally i checked EKiga [11:54] what should I install ? [11:54] the video works correctly in it [11:54] how to validate a name server? [11:54] Kodak CX7525 [11:54] http://pastebin.com/fb0a4b0b [11:54] outbackwifi: sry shell ofc, I'm using ssh. [11:54] artyg: :) [11:54] dida: my_hostname is just an example; put in something like 4.2.2.2 (which is a root server); it should work [11:54] is there a way to revery from intrepid to hardy [11:55] OdnsRvns, i dont think [11:55] reinstall from hardy cd [11:55] :) [11:55] lol without that [11:55] i have a problem , i installed entrepid over hardy and now my dual-boot windows-xp wont start anymore ? [11:55] can anyone care to help me out ? [11:55] Ouch tyrian xD [11:56] you try messing with the grub [11:56] i installed grub to dev/sde [11:56] didnt mess with it [11:56] i bet it just re wrote teh grub [11:57] outbackwifi: When i click the test button , the preview is all green and scrambled [11:57] tyrian, how do you boot the system? [11:57] when i try to run windows from grub it says Loading .... [11:57] I can I tell Ubuntu that it can write in /cdrom? (It's actually an USB pen) [11:57] and now it goes to access like sda1 and it inst that anymore [11:57] do you use grub from MBR? [11:57] no [11:57] i installed grub in dev/sde [11:57] outbackwifi: is the problem in skype related to the video drivers i use ? [11:58] and thibk its the mbr [11:58] carbonmonoxide: no [11:58] Guys why is Ubuntu 8.10 way to laggy then 8.04 [11:58] how come? [11:58] i know it horrid [11:58] Axz, it's faster here [11:58] I kinda got no lag Axz, I only when im installing updates, nothing more :P [11:58] Listening to 50's music and playing with Linux makes my face hurt. [11:58] well running on DualCore 64bit 5000+ with 5GB DDR2 [11:58] * outbackwifi has no probs either on a eeepc 1000H [11:58] still laggy guys [11:59] outbackwifi, 1000H-high-five :D [11:59] How can I tell Ubuntu that it can write in /cdrom? Because it's actually an USB pen [11:59] Btw guys, anyone got a clue on how to increase the size Ubuntu can use when installed with Wubi? :) === cB_ is now known as CharelB [11:59] maybe its uss 5000 x2 cuz i am choppy as well [11:59] pindakaas117: I'm trying to figure that out at the moment, myself. [11:59] pindakaas117: you may want to mount that thing someplace other then /cdrom then. [11:59] So, does Open Source in general have an anthropomorphic personification? Or does it generally just borrow Tux the penguin? [11:59] Open source: GNU gnu? [11:59] I noticed wheni installed from USB PenDrive. the installer made a extra *(wrong)* entry in fstab for a cdrom drive on sda. I had to correct that. [12:00] GNU is hardly open-source in general though [12:00] is there a grub configure tool for gnome ? i need to mess with it [12:00] Well, maybe Torvald is a furry. [12:00] there's BSD and a lot of other licenses out there [12:00] get my dual-boot windows xp back :S [12:00] tyrian: startupmanager [12:00] ok ty [12:00] No i mean is there way to make it faster because i have Rhythmbox running after openning FireFox Rhythmbox begins to lag for few secs [12:00] kinda weird on such fast machine [12:01] Axz, very weird [12:01] Maybe its TO fast? :P [12:01] Axz: i have currently ff, rhythmbox, thunderbird, and skype working great [12:01] any other processes running? [12:01] outbackwifi, that cool but any idea whats going on here? [12:01] fosco_ startupmanager too limited , need to change paths to windows [12:01] outbackwifi: can you tell me where to look for skype video issues [12:01] Problem: Trying to mount my USB drive from /dev/ into /cdrom, using mount -t vfat /dev/cdroms/cdrom (after ln -s ../sdc cdrom in /dev/cdroms), it's saying "no such file or directory" [12:01] amdpox, not that i know off... [12:01] Axz: if youre experiencing jitters in audio; its because of pulseaudio [12:01] tyrian: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst, unlimited :-) [12:02] * amdpox wishes the Ubuntu team would stop changing the audio stack [12:02] ty ty [12:02] it was finally stable in 8.04 [12:02] outbackwifi: i am looking at the skypevideo page in ubuntu hwlp website [12:02] carbonmonoxide: sorry mate; can you try the skype forums out on skype [12:02] yea i might revert back to 8.04 [12:02] outbackwifi: thanks :) [12:02] guys any how to test my benchmark on ubuntu by any tool? [12:02] title Microsoft Windows XP Professional [12:02] root (hd3,0) [12:02] savedefault [12:02] map (hd0) (hd3) [12:02] map (hd3) (hd0) [12:02] chainloader +1 [12:02] tyrian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:02] i'm really wana know whats making him so laggy [12:02] Axz: execute gstreamer-properties and make sure you are using alsa, not pulse [12:03] artyg: a pendrive would be like /dev/sda1 or /deb/sdb1 or similer named. device. [12:03] oops [12:03] Did the URL tell you anything about the monitor Outbackwifi? [12:03] Hello, [12:03] fosco__, oke will try that [12:03] I use rhtymbox to listen to songs on Jamendo.. It takes horribly long to load the catalog on this old laptop.. so I wondered if there are tweaks or alternatives available? [12:03] that map stuff doesnt look ok ? [12:03] artyg: plug it in and check 'dmesg' command in terminal to see where its seen assigned to.

I am currently trying to share a folder using virtualbox ose, my question is , I need to have guest addition in the guest machine? [12:16] guest-addtions being the tools for mount the vboxsf [12:16] effie_jayx: you install on the 'os inside the virtualbox system' yes... [12:16] effie_jayx: yes, if you are to use VB's concept of shared folders. [12:16] Axz: can you check what glxinfo says? is it using software acceleration or hardware [12:16] They really should use a differnt term then 'share' :) [12:17] sure outbackwifi sec [12:17] Dr_Willis, right... [12:17] how do I make sure that files such as /etc/fstab and sudoers don't return to default after reboot? [12:17] does anyone know if it is possible to use 2 keybourds and mice if i have a virtual os runnigg [12:17] on my Live usb-stick tat is [12:17] hey. ive created a nameservers on my dedicated server, im using webmin and ubuntu 8, i got about 10 domains and i want to host them, i pointed them to my nameservers, now, i need to bind each domain to A name server or just make virtual domain or what? [12:18] outbackwifi, http://pastebin.com/m15d6b31f [12:19] Axz: you seem to be ok in that department :) [12:19] outbackwifi: Do you know anyway to logout an old user if a new one with the same username tries to connect in PAM? [12:19] slm [12:19] pindakaas117: you need to create a persistent image [12:20] Baversjo: cant say i do; havent played with PAM for a long time now [12:20] outbackwifi: k [12:20] Outbackwifi: That didn't change anything. It still gives me the virtual screen when I put it into 1440x900. [12:20] alooo [12:21] outbackwifi: and you happen to know how to do that? :) [12:21] Baversjo: you should be looking to do this in ssh though and not PAM [12:21] Okay, I've got my USB stick mounted as /cdrom, but the Ubuntu installer keeps saying that it doesn't read. [12:21] Don123: can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [12:21] I use kdesvn on kde. what to use with gnome and nautilus?

[12:22] but you need a gui tool to get that source from svn [12:22] and you die in a pool of vicious circleness. [12:23] does it integrate into nautilus? [12:23] pindakaas117: this is for an older distro but i guess the process is the same http://www.pcmech.com/article/ubuntu-804-persistent-install-to-usb-stick/ [12:23] wizkoder1: no [12:23] wizkoder1: its a standalone svn client [12:23] outbackwifi: k thanks I will look into it [12:24] wizardyesterday, try nautilus-script-collection-svn - Nautilus subversion management scripts [12:24] EugenMayer: pastebin /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.542/build/make.log please [12:24] wizkoder1, even [12:24] when i run compiz, i get an error about not being able to load libpcre.so.0 [12:25] what package contains libpcre.so.0 [12:25] !info libpcre | fez [12:25] fez: Package libpcre does not exist in intrepid [12:25] !info libpcre3 | fez [12:25] fez: libpcre3 (source: pcre3): Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - runtime files.

I remember having the issues in the pre-release time on a different machine, I'm checking now. [12:36] porefo^z [12:36] tony_: you need to do some compiling then. Or try to sort out your install troubles with hardy [12:36] pfaqes: english please [12:36] Ohkie, alt-f2 and then "gksudo update-manager --dist-upgrade" [12:36] Ohkie: press alt-f2; in that dialog type update-manager -d and enter; after a couple of hours you may be in ibex [12:36] -d shouldn't be necessary after intrepid has been released [12:37] EugenMayer: note that you're not using the latest kernel sources. Can you please install fglrx-kernel-source 8.543-0ubuntu4? [12:37] Wow, making a USB installer for Ubuntu in Windows takes a longcat time. [12:37] afflux: i use the latest ones ?

[12:38] outback: I've run that command and it says my system is up to date? [12:38] Probably to spite me. [12:38] jrib, when I try to install hardy, I get through the install, it reboots then shuts off. You turn it back on..it gets thru yaboot... screen turns white then it shuts off. [12:38] amdpox: nothing seems to happen when i run that command? [12:38] EugenMayer: the logs you're showing show 8.542 instead of .543. Note that .542 has never been published with ubuntu. Sounds like you're using non-ubuntu packages. [12:38] EugenMayer: I'm off for lunch for half an hour or so. [12:38] Ohkie: type lsb_release -a in a terminal; that should tell you if youre on ibex or hardy [12:38] tony_: but the desktop cd is loading fine?

If not, could someone point me in the right direction? :) [12:39] :) [12:39] vmware for ubuntu 8.04 link [12:39] ? [12:39] jA_cOp: you're in the right place [12:39] jA_cOp: I hope so. [12:39] Ohkie, "gksudo update-manager -- --dist-upgrade" [12:39] nice [12:39] Evolution: I want to use Evolution to read USENET. I do not want it as my email client. Evolution insists on me setting up an email account. How can I bypass this? [12:39] jrib, yes and re-burnt it several times. [12:39] amdpox: even if you dont give a gksudo it prompts you later on [12:40] tony_: tried intrepid? [12:40] outbackwifi, damn ubuntu has to be all user-friendly [12:40] amdpox: says my system is up to date, yet running lsb_release -a says im running release 8.04? [12:40] jrib: Same thing [12:40] Ok I am using UNetbootin from windows, and I got Ubuntu 8.10_live and am on the Live CD at the moment. The installer does not find any of my hard drive partitions, am I supposed to use gparted beforehand to free up space? [12:41] amdpox: :) [12:41] tony_: you're using the community ppc port right? [12:41] amdpox: oh wait. i clicked check and it gave me an error after downloading some files: W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 [12:41] test [12:42] Ohkie, remove medibuntu from your Software Sources [12:42] amdpox: cool [12:42] jrib: Xubuntu [12:42] Outbackwifi: It says something about it being a 'pre-release version'. http://pastebin.com/f647226c6 [12:43] I'm trying to setup my crypttab for use with cryptsetup..

[12:44] I see the mount/unmount options [12:45] mounted partition is an accessible one, unmounted partitions are not accessible [12:45] hey [12:45] I googled "Xubuntu ppc for imac" and someone had a link to an old ubuntu page that had it [12:45] anyone to help me ?

I have really no other way to use gparted atm [12:46] Section "Device" [12:46] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [12:46] EndSection [12:46] where is that "Configured Video Device"?

That one probably gets more testing [12:46] tony_: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/intrepid/release/ [12:46] Don123: your video driver is loading ok; its your monitor thats not letting you get into higher resolution [12:47] jA_cOp: there are many ways to get a partition unmounted, liveCD is a good way [12:47] what package is the cleanup tool in intrepid? [12:47] amdpox: ok removed medibuntu. its now saying my system is up-to-date again :/ [12:47] once i have dns server ns1. and ns2. on my server i dont need to add to each domain somthing on bind section? just make it on apache config?

[12:48] jrib: I'll try that THANKS!! [12:48] fosco__: I'm not actually using a physical CD, I'm using the UNetbootin tool to emulate it and let it boot the Live CD from my hard drive. So I'd have to free up space on a different drive than the Live CD is on? [12:48] different parition* [12:48] how do I install nvidia driver?

Thanks for your help guys :) [12:52] and running is completely buggy [12:52] pedro_: does the nvidia section in the release notes apply to you?

[12:56] artyg: "regular debian drivers"? What's wrong with the drivers ubuntu provides? [12:56] artyg: its not about debian or ubuntu; drivers are part of the kernel and should work anywhere [12:56] Because apparently Ubuntu is not chock-full of Realtek 8187 drivers. [12:57] Outbackwifi: No clue on the h/v refresh rates. It is a relatively new monitor but I've moved and the manual is lost. I still don't understand why 7.10 worked fine with it and 8.04.1 doesn't. [12:57] maniadrive is a game similar to track mania [12:57] the issue is library [12:57] rkpisanu: oh ok. i'm not into games sorry [12:57] ok, i gots a problem guys [12:58] ok thanks outbackwifi [12:58] im trying to SSH into my home system, i have 3 different boxes at home i can SSH into, but all are on different ports [12:58] Don123: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please [12:58] If you got a problem, we'll solve it, check out the beat while the DJ revolves it.

[12:58] yeah [12:59] but you should probably just delete the key from known_hosts [12:59] j2daosh: thats because you're portforwarding; just go into the .known_hosts file in each box and delete the offending key [12:59] I have a problem with mounting externall devices from windows? I have tried alot [12:59] * werdna suffocates on carbon_monoxide [13:00] mikethk: this is a ubuntu support channel [13:00] I know. I have ubuntu, cant mount devices used in windows [13:00] Hello. Out of a sudden I have no sound anymore in Ubuntu. Just 20 mins ago I could play music files, now I have no sound, not even in System->Prefs->Sound-> Test. What can I do? [13:00] mikethk: any errors? [13:00] mikethk: what error do you get? [13:01] "Out of a sudden" - I'm remembering this phrase. [13:01] what is best graphic card for ubuntu ? [13:01] you are not privileged to mount this device [13:01] photon: first thing to check is 'check for unplugged speaker' [13:01] outbackwifi: where would I do that? [13:02] chuckmoney: how's it going? good to see you again! [13:02] Anyone here used Unetbootin or anything other virtual mounting of the Live CD to install Ubuntu? [13:02] any* [13:02] mikethk: the easiest way to circumvent that is to install pmount and add the devices to /etc/pmount.allow [13:02] I have a question: can i put a pci-e 2 graphics card in an abit ip35 pro? === Moshu` is now known as MoshutZu [13:02] artyg: good for you. [13:02] jA_cOp: I'm working on that right now. [13:02] I have installed pmount, how do i do the last add thing? [13:02] iman: PCIe 2.0 is backwards compatible with the original specification, just doesn't have the same speed. [13:02] artyg: Same. I found that I cannot unmount the drive the Live CD is mounted on, so I'm back on Windows to clean up my other partition instead. [13:02] mikethk: gksu gedit /etc/pmount.allow [13:02] ok, good [13:02] what is best graphic card for ubuntu ?

[13:04] * Jos_ is missing plain old xchat in the intepid repo [13:04] leohartx: i would first check out the ubuntu hardware compatibility list to see if its supported [13:04] DasEl:no, intrepid [13:04] !hcl | leohartex [13:04] leohartex: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [13:04] evga 9600gt is affordable and runs great! [13:04] does anybody know the default settings for skype in ubuntu? [13:04] the next question is this then: I have around $200 for a graphics card. I do lots of 3d modeling, and I know the gpu isn't used during rendering (yet, open cl might change that) but when I'm setting things up it is really slow. I have around 2000 dominoes that are all transparent, and a preview [13:04] what shoudl I get? [13:04] because my microfone doesn't work [13:04] iman_: Ask me to render it for you X-D [13:04] It tells me that it will allow users to mount all devces listed here. But noone is listed [13:05] <|neon|> how can i get my desktop settings to stay, when i changed them they look ok, however every time i reboot i loose them, any way that i can make them stick, i tried session manager without luck thx [13:05] outbackwifi: some are terminal applications [13:05] leohartx:some ati's are still hard (9500-x600), nvidia is better supported right now [13:05] I have an evga 9600 gt, and am thinking of an 9800 [13:05] sken: in options, change from pulse to alsa etc and try [13:05] what is benchmark in a software project? [13:05] outbackwifi can i write to you so it shows ini red? as you do to me? [13:05] mikethk: Is that in the installer or gparted? [13:05] Jos: its in the repos [13:05] artyg: I use blender (a renderfarm) and it takes around 900 days in cpu seconds [13:05] outbackwifi:ok, i'll change my question: which graphic cards are highest compatible with ubuntu ? [13:05] mikethk: sure just type the first few characters of my nick and press tab [13:05] What's your CPU? [13:06] I bought the 9600gt when it first came out. I may get a 9800gt as well [13:06] I need to put a setup up, where I want screen to start with screen -DRU command there I want it to start some screens and applications for me. Like start screen 1, start irssi, screen 2 start rtorrent you get the idea [13:06] I have a quad core [13:06] any news on getting an MS vx3000 webcam to work in 8.10? [13:06] leohartx: have you seen the hcl at all? [13:06] Nvidia drivers are better at the moment, I think. Do correct me if ATI has caught up. Using ATI myself. [13:06] q9700 [13:06] Hello people [13:06] It's running multithreaded with any possible SIMD instructions turned on, right? [13:06] nvidia drivers have been better since the history of the video card competition. [13:07] jA_cOp, ? ot sure what you mean.... I typed /etc/pmount.allow and a window shows up [13:07] I have a problem. yesterday Rythymbox collapsed and now my laptop speakers only make a cracking noise.... any idea how can I fix it? I already reinstall "pulseaudio" and didnt work [13:07] mikethk: Sorry, thought you were doing something else. [13:07] Outback: http://pastebin.com/f2edc41e8 [13:07] outbackwifi:it has just finished loading :) [13:07] mikethk: type that command in a terminal [13:07] i'm thinking of an evga 9800 gt but is there anything faster for $200 give or take $20 [13:07] outbackwifi, k. Well i get ths window that tells me i can mount all listed devices but nothing is listed [13:08] mikethk: you need to add your devices there, save and exit [13:08] jA_cOp: Want to know if I can get Ubuntu on USB to work at some point? [13:08] iman_:join #hardware [13:08] I need to put a setup up, where I want screen to start with screen -DRU command after boot there I want it to start some screens and applications for me. Like start screen 1, start irssi, screen 2 start rtorrent you get the idea. [13:08] outbackwifi, how to add the device? [13:08] artyg: UNetbootin lets you make a USB device bootable [13:08] outbackwifi, im pefectly noob :) [13:08] mikethk: just follow the example that is commented out [13:09] Iradieh: you need the screen -m switch [13:09] Yeah, UNetbootin also doesn't take care of the small things that make the Ubuntu install possible from USB. [13:09] Chousuke: what does m do? [13:09] Iradieh: the screen man page will tell you more [13:09] outbackwifi: Hey again, I think that stdout is redirected to the sshd. In Pam I can enable/disable the module for displaying motd and when i disable it I don't get any motd when loggin into ssh anymore. So I think that if a module stdout something it will show up in my ssh-session :D So I ask agian, is there anyway to print the pam_limits error to the shell instead of outputing it to the log? :D [13:09] Chousuke: I try to read it, its long [13:09] Iradieh: use the search [13:09] Yeah artyg, the only thing it seems really useful for at the moment is fixing the boot loader so you can load the Live CD from a hard drive [13:10] iman_: You might want to look up reasonably-priced FireGL's or Quadro's if you render a lot. [13:10] mikethk: add the devices by their name like /dev/sdb1 etc [13:10] outbackwifi, but i dont know the name on the device [13:10] Chousuke: you mean -d -m like starts one, but doesnt attach? [13:10] mikethk: sudo fdisk -l or looking at dmesg should tell you [13:11] Iradieh: yeah [13:11] How would one go about using a system pre-bias for tone and treble? [13:11] I hope I dont have to reinstall ubuntu [13:12] Baversjo: motd shows up *after* logging in i.e a tty has been assigned to the user not before [13:12] does anybody know the default settings for skype [13:12] Like, a control panel for treble/bass. [13:12] i mean for audio [13:12] hello, can someone please help me fix my desktop? for some reason it now appears to be my home folder. [13:12] outbackwifi, I guees the name is /dev/sdb1 then.... Where to add? in terminal ? [13:12] mikethk: yes inside that file [13:12] Iradieh: basically, you'll want to write a screenrc with multiple "screen" commands in it to start multiple windows, then run screen -md -c customscreenrc in some startup script [13:13] sken: I can tell you what works for me if that helps?! [13:13] Outbackwifi: http://pastebin.com/f2edc41e8 [13:13] outbackwifi: Ye, but the pam_limits module is also shown in the tty [13:13] Iradieh: http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/screen-3.9.4/html_chapter/screen_6.html [13:13] ok tell me [13:13] <|Dreams|> hw do i run a c program from the shell>? [13:13] sken: [13:13] i read about a hack here http://lifehacker.com/5067996/some-productive-ubuntu-kung-fu that does that, but i never tried it... just for some reason i turned on the comp this morning and everything in my home folder is on my desktop. Also, the places link in nautilus to the desktop actuallyi points to the home folder. === sirfelius_ is now known as sirfelius [13:13] Any one know of any control panel or applet or any thing that can change system-wide treble/bass? Ubuntu has...odd sound workings. [13:13] |Dreams|: if it's in path, just type its name and it'll be run. [13:14] |Dreams|: If not, type the path and the name [13:14] outbackwifi, after opening the gksu gedit /etc/pmount.allow i got this window.... I add it there? [13:14] sken: I've set everything in Audio to "Pulse" and unchecked "Automatically configure audio" beneath [13:14] <|Dreams|> so like just type abgx360.c [13:14] |Dreams|: first you compile the source code (gcc -Wall -o my_program my_program.c), then you can execute the resulting binary as usual (./my_program) [13:14] Yuji1: If you use ALSA, maybe http://alsa-eq-plugin.sourceforge.net ? [13:14] Don123: sorry, i saw that file; you need to put in the values for your monitor in that Monitor section on line 36 [13:14] mikethk: yes [13:14] |Dreams|: no. that's not a C program :p [13:14] oh thats right, EQ thats what I meant. [13:14] And yeah ALSA. [13:14] |Dreams|: that's a C source file. you can't run them [13:14] sken: Please make sure that your mic is ready to record in the Volume-settings [13:15] * Yuji1 checks it out. [13:15] I just googled it, so don't expect much. [13:15] Hi, why do my scim-panel looj ugly ? [13:15] |Dreams|: You need to compile to an executable file first [13:15] It'll help I bet. [13:15] hello guys [13:15] where are the volume settings? [13:15] Better than nothing, so still thank you. [13:15] Hi, I've got Ubuntu and Vista dual booting, I've just installed DSL and need to add it to Grub, it's on hda4, so what should I put into menu.lst? :S [13:15] sken: I mean the volume setings of Ubuntu [13:15] <|Dreams|> how do i do that [13:15] |Dreams|: often, compiling is as easy as ./configure && make && make install [13:15] |Dreams|: but not always [13:15] <|Dreams|> ther is no configure or make [13:15] Hello , I need help please , i am trying to compile old package of NLP tool for my research , in the instructions : In order to compile on Unix, you should clean them of the "Line Feed" (^M) characters. You can do this automatically using the command unzip -aa , because its very old package (i think from 1998-9) i dont know if the unzip -aa its correct ? [13:16] Hi, why do my only scim-panel (gtk) looj ugly ? [13:16] Outbackwifi: Newbie here... how do I do that? [13:16] |Dreams|: in that case, you'll have to read any README or INSTALL files included with the source and figure out how to compile it. [13:16] doesn't say here something about microphone [13:16] <|Dreams|> there isnt any either haha [13:16] can sobebody tell me if ubuntu 8.10 supports the atheros ar5008 xspan? [13:16] sken: Right-click on the speaker-icon in your tray and choose the second possibility beneath "Mute" [13:16] outbackwifi, possible you can tell me what to write from start to end... I just under the listed here, added /dev/dsb1 [13:16] |Dreams|: in that case, I think it's beyond your skills to compile it. [13:17] hello ? [13:17] And I shall now attempt to run an Ubuntu Intrepid installer from a USB drive. *Drumroll* [13:17] |Dreams|: if it's a simple program, try just running it through a C compiler [13:17] can any one see me ? [13:17] artyg: Good luck with it. [13:17] <|Dreams|> good answer cheers for that Chousuke [13:17] |Dreams|: though you *could* try gcc *.c -o executable [13:17] I don't know if Ubuntu comes with any compilers by default [13:17] Trying to figure out how to install that EQ. [13:17] yeah i cked that [13:17] hi! [13:17] Stupid MP-BIOS bug. [13:17] abcdefg ~~~ can n e one c me ?

[13:20] Chousuke: Ok, but I think I'll just get MinGW [13:20] Hi [13:20] sken: There should be a slider for Microphone if the system recognized it... [13:20] Don123: yes [13:20] !hi |eedd [13:20] eedd: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:20] jA_cOp: mingw? are you going to compile windows programs? [13:21] Help please [13:21] what can be used in place of "yum provides stuff" in ubuntu ? [13:21] Dear freakin' lord, stupid netbooks and their lack of CD drives. [13:21] I am a Windows programmer, yes :P [13:21] i don't have that one [13:21] eedd: apt provides stuff [13:21] well I upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 I had 2 issues. One is it uninstalled vmware server and the other was it changed a drive letter of another drive that was installed. [13:21] Can someone tell me soft for editing ISO files? [13:21] sken: Try clicking the Settings-button below the slider and make a check at the line for Microphone [13:21] jA_cOp: well, mingw on ubuntu uses gcc :p [13:21] Yeah Chousuke, I just remembered :D Kind of stupid of me [13:21] jms32, depenmds on what you want to do.. i recall 'kiso' not sure of any others [13:21] !info kiso [13:21] kiso (source: kiso): program to create manipulate and extract CD Image.

[13:22] sken: Then the slider for microphone should appear [13:22] w0ls0n, drive 'letter' ? [13:22] you mean the capture mux explain [13:22] aptitude search stuff does not apparently do it [13:22] 28-dr_willis- I think that is what i need Thanks [13:22] yea instead of hdb1 its now sdb1 [13:22] doesn't say here anything about microphone [13:22] Please anyone with this issue or just want to give me a hand please? === no is now known as Guest81454 [13:22] drive I should have said [13:22] w0ls0n, thats not a letter.. thats the device name.. and the move from hdXX to sd## has been going on for some time now.. [13:22] eedd, your trying to use apt to search for something? [13:22] apt provides stuff : bash: apt: command not found [13:23] I just upgraded last night :-) [13:23] eedd: use aptitude :P [13:23] i love ubuntu user !!! :x [13:23] I am trying to see what is provides by what package [13:23] Hi! Where can I download Ubuntu base image, without X and other default programs? [13:23] eedd: but the package manager is called APT [13:23] outbackwifi, I used the terminal. [13:23] w0ls0n, theres some rewriting of the IDE code base that has cleaned things up.. so now most every ide drieve should be accessed as sd## [13:23] for instance, in CentOS you can do: yum provides unbuffer [13:23] sken: Now I'm out of ideas ... If the system does not even offer you any microphone-settings I guess it does not recognize it [13:23] this shows that, expect provides the unbuffer command [13:23] ok then. I was able to change the fstab without an issue [13:23] sken: But that's just me guessing [13:23] eedd: ah like that [13:23] eedd: hmm [13:24] eedd: expect is damn ugly, use perl [13:24] eedd: apt-file can search for files [13:24] Outbackwifi: Can you give me a command for that or do I need to use a command line editor program? [13:24] w0ls0n, thats part of the reason to the move to 'UUID' in fstab.. then the /dev/XXX name wont matter [13:24] abc i'm new at irc ~ i'm a guest huh ? [13:24] mikethk: does pmount /dev/sdb1 [13:24] Don123: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:24] so can i put that? [13:24] try the command /nick ILike_ThisNick [13:24] mikethk: does pmount /dev/sdb1 work? [13:24] eedd: also, by default the ubuntu bash will tell you the name of a package if you ttry to use a command that doesn't exist. [13:24] eedd: but I don't know how it does that. [13:24] the thing expect package should provide "unbuffer" command this is good for things like grepping the output of tail [13:25] unbuffer tail -f ~/error_log | grep -i stuff [13:25] Chousuke, uses the 'command not found package' :) i belive.. some sort of alias/setting calling an app. [13:25] yeah but what does it call :/ [13:25] Outbackwifi: And change monitor to-- what was it-- 24 or 25? [13:25] Hello , where i can get old version of G++ for ubuntu ?

[13:34] That's a little long, I'll just make it something easier ;-P [13:34] artyg, normally mountpoints are in /media [13:34] hi.whats the problem with ubuntu 8.10 repositories? i can't install mpi, xine gui, opera etc [13:34] is it possible to reassign jacks on realtek soundcards under linux like you can on windows? [13:34] anyone help me [13:34] artyg, this differs from one disrto to another. [13:34] dr_willis: There is no /media/ folder here. [13:34] !anyone |feng14 [13:34] feng14: 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? [13:34] These are not the droids you are looking for. [13:35] !ask |feng14 [13:35] feng14: 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. :-) [13:35] i install the xubuntu, how to uninstall it [13:35] artyg, then you got somthing really weird going on.. every Ubuntu reelase ive ever seen uses /media/ make one if you want.. or not.. [13:35] Well, the installer shell doesn't use /media/ [13:35] anyone running gnome-do? [13:35] mikethk: you need to find out whether the device name is correct; second is to remove the line from /etc/fstab and use pmount ; to automate it, the device is listed in /etc/pmount.allow [13:35] me gnome [13:35] dont know gnome-do [13:36] artyg, installer shell? [13:36] bn43: yes, whats wrong? [13:36] How can I check what version of ubuntu I have? :P [13:36] Yes, like if you boot into Ubuntu Intrepid Alt Installer and try to mount your USB drive as a CD-ROM drive just using the installer's shell. [13:36] Outbackwifi: You are talking about the vertical and horizontal refresh values to put on line 36 right? What format do I use? A v and number then an h and number or is there a line there I can just change when I find the correct values? [13:36] mopped: lsb_release -a [13:36] mopped that's really nice question :x [13:37] artyg, if you are manually mounting a device.. You could mount it wever you want. [13:37] thanks [13:37] coool [13:37] But how do I access it after I mount it? Can't do it through /dev/. [13:37] artyg, you access the Mountpoint.. niot the /dev/entryname [13:37] Problem: There is no mountpoint. [13:37] artyg, mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 [13:37] artyg, then MAKE ONE.. its just a directory [13:38] Don123: the format is speficied here -> http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html [13:38] Then it says "Cannot find (mount point) in /etc/fstab". [13:38] Is there way to start a screen at startup, with X ammount of windows each opening programs like irssi and rtorrent? [13:38] I know, I'm really retarded, but please do bear with me. [13:38] artyg: you need to use the proper mount command [13:38] artyg, you may want to read up on/google 'mounting drives in linux' [13:39] artyg, mkdir /media/sda1 [13:39] artyg: it is sudo mount /dev/devicename /mnt/mountpoint [13:39] artyg, mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 [13:39] this is really really nice program with nice ppl :P [13:39] artyg, ls /media/sda1 0------ Ta Daa! [13:39] !offtopic | Guest77717 [13:39] Guest77717: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:39] hi guys. when I shut down or reboot, the system just stalls at 'shutting down alsa' (dunno, i press alt+F7 to see the log, after X quits) [13:39] ziroday`: using .04 on hardy - want to upgrade gnome do so I can use the funky plugins [13:39] bn43: okay... [13:40] Hello. im using synaptic to install mpi, opera and xine gui and the application can't find them. what's wrong with the repositories? i ve just installed ubuntu 8.10 [13:40] Outbackwifi: Thanks for all your help. Gotta go. [13:40] how to play .swf file ? [13:40] Don123: ok === Guest77009 is now known as recon [13:40] Don123: the format for xorg.conf is here --> http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html [13:40] Sudo is not in the installer shell. In fact, very very few programs are here. [13:40] ziroday`: I'm not planning on upgrading my lappy to intrepid yet - I've got her just so and tweaking just a bit :-) [13:40] how do i find #ubuntu-offtopic ? [13:40] artyg, you dont need to use sudo when in that shell. [13:41] bn43: okay. and what is exactly wrong? [13:41] artyg: in the installer shell you already are root; if you see # you know you are [13:41] artyg, but in normal usseage you sould. [13:41] Guest35428: type in /join #ubuntu-offtopic [13:41] thank you ziroday ~ [13:41] * dr_willis wonders why artyg is messing with the shell on the installer. [13:41] thank you all bye ~ [13:41] Okay, let's see if the installer wants to recognize it. [13:41] Hi people! Is there a Wubi specific chat? [13:41] ziroday`: nothing wrong - just want to know if anyone has upgraded to the latest gnome-do on hardy and how they went about it? [13:41] I'm messing with the shell because an install from the alt installer from a USB drive needs a "cd-rom" [13:42] ziroday`: and problems etc? === urkki is now known as Finnish [13:42] And the cloudbook is completely CD-ROM-less. [13:42] bn43: ah right, you are aware the maintain an externel repo right? I personally had no problems when using hardy and the externel repo [13:42] Hi, can i run aspx code in Ubuntu box? [13:42] this is #ubuntu+1 [13:42] nekrojakub, try /join wubi and see [13:42] outbackwifi, how to move the line from fstab to pmount? [13:42] ziroday`: no I did not [13:42] artyg: you seem to have started from a wrong premise and are trying to work around that [13:43] bn43: lemme dredge up the link for you [13:43] ziroday`: any instructions on how to go about it? === richard is now known as snowrichard [13:43] No channel named wubi, heh. [13:43] mikethk: gksu gedit /etc/fstab find the line with /dev/sdb1 and delete it [13:43] I'm trying to introduce someone to Ubuntu by using Wubi, but when he reboots after installing Wubi he can't access Ubuntu, the choose your system screen doesn't show and XP boots normally... [13:43] I would've installed from the normal Ubuntu live distro, but alas, no Via CX700 support. [13:44] nekrojakub: try /join #wubi [13:44] hi just did an install of ubuntu desktop cd and firefox doesn't start as my normal user but does as root [13:44] artyg: the way i did it with a eeeppc was to install standard distro and replace the kernel with one specific to the eeepc [13:45] ziroday: It's empty [13:45] Of course, the EeePC actually has users, the Cloudbook and alternative installs don't go together. [13:45] bn43: you add the ppa to your /etc/apt/sources.list. Do you know how to do that? [13:45] snowrichard: how did you install firefox? [13:45] it was installed by the cd [13:45] bn43: see http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_Do#8.04_.28Hardy.29 [13:46] snowrichard: and how did you know that root can start it? [13:46] outbackwifi, and now add it to gksu gedit /etc/pmount.allow? [13:46] I did sudo /bin/bash and ran firefox [13:46] mikethk: only the device name not the whole line from fstab [13:46] how can i check both L1 and L2 cache of my CPU? hardinfo only gives me information about a cache parameter without specify if it is L1 or L2. [13:46] mikethk: before you do that do a pmount /dev/sdb1 and see if that works [13:46] ziroday`: awesome thanks! [13:47] ziroday`: google did not bring that one up [13:47] mikethk: if all fails read this --> http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Understanding_fstab#pmount [13:47] bn43: no problem :) [13:47] Can I install Ubuntu from a different Linux? o.o [13:48] outbackwifi, OMFG it worked...... but plz fast tell me.... what is pmount and fstab?

[13:54] no flickering in fullscreen [13:54] Firefox has stopped working. When I open it, it gives the "Starting Firefox Web Browser..." item in the task bar, but it disappears after a few seconds, with a firefox process left running, but nothing appears on the screen.. [13:55] just get the prompt again [13:55] Something very similar happens with Epiphany, so I'm guessing it's related to Gecko somehow. Is there any way I could debug further? [13:55] VirusKongen: check if you have software acceleration with glxinfo [13:55] This happened to me once before and I only fixed it by restarting my computer (restarting X didn't work), which would be annoying.

[13:57] does anyone know the command for openarena [13:57] VirusKongen: you should pastebin that; not pm me with that data [13:57] grep? [13:57] outbackwifi: ??

[14:19] IndyGunFreak the drive in question is already parted in two NFTS partitions by windows, each being 89gb [14:19] talking about xbuntu 8.10 [14:19] GoGi: apt-get install mysql [14:20] It doesn't seem to be listed in the graphical package manager [14:20] i would know what are the .dll files i have to add into "winecfg" libreries to install and use flash CS3 on my Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid (using wine) [14:20] is there a big difference in features between normal releases and LTS releases? [14:20] jA_cOp: ok.. and what are you wanting to do... shrink the second 89gig partition, for Linux? [14:20] bn43: pastebin: apt-cache policy libpango1.0-0 [14:20] DIFH-iceroot: I see. [14:20] Exactly IndyGunFreak, is this sensible? [14:20] Stalker72: yes; the time for which support is available [14:20] GoGi: sudo apt-get install mysql-server [14:20] jA_cOp: thats what i would do... [14:20] hi there guys [14:20] Myrstidal: did you find the java you wanted in the repositories? [14:20] sudobash: boot time has improved a lot [14:20] hmmm well what about migrating docs and settings from 8.04 does it work well like Firefox favs? [14:20] jA_cOp: i just can't stress to you enough, make sure anything i mportant is backed up [14:20] jrib: do I put apt-cache policy libpango1.0-0 in command line? [14:20] Thanks DIFH-iceroot, ubottu. I seem to have 7.10. That's pretty old huh? [14:21] bn43: yes [14:21] how do I format a pendrive using the terminal commands? [14:21] outbackwifi: Except long-term support, are there more differences? [14:21] sudobash: if you upgrade distro everything works [14:21] will do - be right back [14:21] Stalker72: nope [14:21] bennymack1: its from october 2007 [14:21] hey I try to get a iMon VFD working on Ubuntu 8.10 with LCDproc, I got the lirc_imon module loaded and IR is working like a charm, but the /dev/lcd0 device does not exist and will not be created if I load the lirc_imon module with "modprobe lirc_imon is_lcd=1" [14:21] IndyGunFreak: The resizer is kind of confusing to me, how do I do it? [14:21] you mean sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [14:21] is there stilla way to have a topbar (os-x like in hardy) in ibex ? [14:21] or from CD? [14:21] jA_cOp: are you on the live CD now? [14:21] outbackwifi: There's a release every 6 months? [14:21] cause someone said dist-upgrade caused crashes [14:21] Stalker72: of course normal releases would be cutting-edge [14:21] Yes IndyGunFreak, on the pidgin that comes with it [14:22] does anyone know hoe can I format a pendrive using the terminal commands....? [14:22] sudobash: export -import for firefox..migrating dos? dunno, have home in a separated partition so never have to migrate anything, sorry... [14:22] Hello guys..can anyone tell me the direction of the Ubuntu livecd updated ? looks like they call daily-image or something like that... [14:22] jA_cOp: ok.. tyupe this w/o quotes.. "/join #indygunfreak" [14:22] docs [14:22] sudobash, you are expected to use update-manager, not dist-upgrade [14:22] jrib: Sorry about that, let me rephrase that, I'm installing the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 10 BIN [14:22] sudobash: someone was wrong. just alt-f2 and type update-manager -d in it and in the morning you have new distribution [14:22] rodolfo:see man fdisk, but I'd prefer gparted [14:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/69643/ [14:22] outbackwifi, -d is not required and should not be used at this time [14:22] How do I find out where a symlink points to ? [14:22] DasEI, gparted can do the job? [14:23] Myrstidal: ok. Throw the bin in the trash. Java is in the repositories. Just install the sun-java6-jre package [14:23] -d means download only, correct me if i am wrong [14:23] tao joao pinto? mataste a mosca! :) [14:23] DIFH-iceroot: How could I go about finding what version of perl is packaged with 8.10? /me hopes 5.10.0 [14:23] joaopinto: well it so happens it was required when i did it yesterday [14:23] Hi! Is it possible to make grub always show the menu? Instead of the text with the countdown that chooses the default option? [14:23] Myrstidal, os the openjdk version [14:23] TheBlasphemer: readlink (or ls -l) [14:23] outbackwifi: something odd going on. I will not stick for me. It is running under virtualbox but that should not make a difference [14:23] bennymack1: apt-cache search [14:23] rodolfo:sure, make safe the drive is unmounted first [14:23] Anyone know why send/receive is grayed out with no explanation as to why on my evolution? [14:23] outbackwifi, is not required if you read the upgrade instructions [14:24] DasEI, UNmounted? [14:24] Alright, perhaps I should put my question another way: - Does any one know if and how access to NTFS partitions can be restricted to specific users and/or groups in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)? [14:24] specifically if you enable the non LTS upgrades [14:24] joaopinto: ok anyways im not the one who wants it; please address it to the OP [14:24] got the firefox problem fixed with chown -r richard:richard .mozilla [14:24] outbackwifi: Do we know about any features that will be included in 9.04? [14:24] DasEI, but if it is UNmounted how can I format it? [14:24] -R rather [14:24] it was owned by root [14:24] Peter_Swinkels1: set the proper gid mount option in fstab [14:24] djk: are you running livecd inside virtualbox [14:25] Can anyone tell if this is the last ubuntu daily-build image? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20081029.5/ [14:25] snowrichard: thats great [14:25] rodolfo:unmounted just means not assigned to a directory, though attached [14:25] !groups [14:25] skyper: intrepid is released. Use the stable intrepid release [14:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about groups [14:25] Stalker72: you could track the ubuntu website etc [14:25] skyper, it is preferable to just use the final image and performing the updates from it [14:25] so ibex has a 3d menu sorta.... [14:25] DIFH-iceroot: but on my 7.10 box apt-cache showpkg perl is telling me 5.8.8. Is that the same that I'd get if I were on 8.10 ? [14:26] DasEI and how can I make sure the pendrive is not assigned to a directory? [14:26] jrib: yeah im using intrepid..but i want i up-to-date image of ubuntu... [14:26] bennymack1: yes thats the perl version [14:26] bennymack1: dont know but 8.10 should have a newer one [14:26] jrib: output on http://paste.ubuntu.com/69643/ [14:26] is there any changes in 8.10 themes? [14:26] skyper, you just need to install the upgrades that you usually get notified about [14:26] joaopinto: isnt better to download and install the most up-to-date image of ubuntu? with all its actualizations [14:26] bennymack1: ive got 5.10.0 [14:26] skyper: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [14:26] rodolfo:type mount in aterminal to see which partis/drives are actually mounted, in gparted right-click>unmount [14:27] skyper, no, getting the updates from the repository is the recommended procedure [14:27] anyway now i need to get my wireless card working [14:27] skyper: notice the date on that daily and see the date of release for intrepid [14:27] outbackwifi: excellent! And you installed it with apt-get somehow? [14:27] I'll need ndiswrapper [14:27] DIFH-iceroot: i know..i just wanna know what is the most actualized one.. [14:27] bennymack1: it came with the distribution upgrade [14:27] skyper: 8.10 with apt-get upgrade [14:27] skyper, the livecds may not be properly tested and they don't provide any advantage over the regular updates [14:27] jrib: Thanks a lot! You've been a great help. [14:28] outbackwifi: no it is a installed desktop version. Other changes stick [14:28] snowrichard: have you checked fw? [14:28] Are there any bot scripts for XChat for managing an irc room? like the bot in this room?? [14:28] DasEI hang on.. [14:28] djk: hmm weird [14:28] joaopinto: right? i mean, i want to install Ubuntu on 5 pcs.. so i dont wanna install it and download 69mb again..thats why i would download and install a daily-build image..with all its actualizations included [14:28] outbackwifi: How many people convert to Linux / Ubuntu each day? :P [14:28] ahh. So, since this is a fresh box, should I just run apt-get upgrade? Or am I better off just having the host slap 8.10 on there for me? [14:28] Stalker72: im only human ask the bot :) [14:28] Has anyone had problems with mouseemu interfering with the workings of the keyboard? [14:29] outbackwifi: agreed, I'll check later if you come up with any thoughts. Thank you. [14:29] outbackwifi: What bot? [14:29] <[newnick]> Using a beta of intrepid I had a folder called private in my home folder, it was claimed to encrypt my data in that folder. Now however there is no such folder (after reinstalling with the non beta intrepid) [14:29] bn43: looks like an issue with the ppa, contact the author [14:29] joaopinto: hmm interesting..thx mate guess im gonna use the normal image [14:29] skyper, you can copy /var/cache/apt/archives with the updates packages [14:29] jrib: thanks - will do [14:29] Stalker72: the one that runs the show here [14:29] !hi | Stalker72 [14:29] Stalker72: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [14:29] him [14:29] joaopinto: yeah that to.. [14:30] dam, apt-get upgrade and apt-get upgrade perl doesn't do anything . [14:30] so what about compiz and restricted drivers from 8.04 to 8.10 do I have to reload these drivers? [14:30] outbackwifi: Well... Can he tell me anything about that? :P [14:30] Stalker72: dunno mate [14:30] <[newnick]> Using a beta of intrepid I had a folder called private in my home folder, it was claimed to encrypt my data in that folder. Now however there is no such folder (after reinstalling with the non beta intrepid), how do I install such a private folder? [14:30] bennymack1: are you on 8.04 or 8.10? [14:30] hi I've got an opportunity to introduce linux to a user who is frustrated with the speed of xp with office2007 on his laptop [14:31] sudobash, on my system they got updated [14:31] cool [14:31] Are there any bot scripts for XChat for managing an irc room? Im looking for something like the Help bot in here [14:31] sudobash, assuming you dident use envyng or somting like that [14:31] DasEI OK, I just unmounted the pen drive using the unmount option [14:31] !offtopic | riegersn [14:31] riegersn: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [14:31] riegersn, check the xchat homepage [14:31] i have monitor resolution problems and i am not able to get higher resolution [14:31] I want to load linux but it needs to be lightning fast - he has a p4 with 256mb ram [14:31] nope [14:31] hey [14:31] bn43: he's lacking a little ram [14:31] Hey People! How would you updated Ubuntu 7 from Gimp 2.2 to the latest version? [14:31] I'm having serious problems with nvidia driver [14:31] Hi there...can anyone suggest a good software for joining to avi files together? [14:31] when I open it, I get a blank screen [14:31] DasEI and now it's just right click on it > format > fat32? [14:31] please help me solving this [14:31] outbackwifi: 7.10 :) [14:31] bn43 upgrade to 512 [14:31] he only uses it for mail, opening office documents and internet [14:31] bn43: go with DSL not ubuntu [14:31] Myrstidal: no problem! [14:31] goog: you don't, it's not back ported [14:32] i have monitor resolution problems and i am not able to get higher resolution [14:32] or use Xubuntu [14:32] goog: you'd need to update ubuntu [14:32] dsl? [14:32] and when I open Gnome, metacity doesn't run! [14:32] Damn Small Linux [14:32] mikebeecham, depending on the codec and stuff you can often just 'cat' them together.. the mencoder faq mentions this topic.. and mencoder can do it. :) [14:32] bn43: xubuntu or dsl [14:32] rodolfo:yup, and then apply button [14:32] When starting up, the laptop touchpad doensn't work. Killing off mouseemu enables kbd, disables tpad. What's going on? [14:32] goog, you will need to compile from source, and still you may not have the required dev libraries so you are better by just upgrading your release [14:32] bennymack1: the only way you can probably get a higher version of perl is to download and install with cpan [14:32] I'm getting really annoyed with this [14:32] Damn Small is harder to learn the xubuntu [14:32] i have monitor resolution problems and i am not able to get higher resolution than 800x600 [14:32] for new ppl to linux [14:32] ah damn small [14:32] joaopinto: apt-get distupgrade? [14:32] hello world. could someone please explain to me how to install ubuntu 8.10 iso on a usb key to make it bootable since i am using eee pc 901. [14:33] damn small is super quick though [14:33] sudobash: DSL is debian based, terminal should be almost the same [14:33] I just need to configure it for opening mail - thunderbird [14:33] [newnick]:see http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 /rivate folder [14:33] my monitor supports higher resolution [14:33] !usb | theuniverse [14:33] theuniverse: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [14:33] DSL is Knoppix based [14:33] office - openoffice 3 and firefox [14:33] dr_willis...is this just software to join them together? [14:33] Hello everyone, I've experimenting problem in connecting to an ssh-1 serv... Can I get some help ? [14:33] [newnick]: you can run ecryptfs-setup-private from the ecryptfs-utils package [14:33] DasEI thank you it worked ;) [14:33] sudobash, there is nothing harder on using xubuntu, and please stop doing off-topic chat here, try on #ubuntu-offtopic [14:33] blue112: just post your error [14:33] sudobash: isn't knoppix debian based? [14:33] rodolfo:oops, really ? np [14:33] <[newnick]> thank you [14:33] theuniverse: the installed version of 8.10 has an option under system-adminstration [14:33] mikebeecham, mencoder can do all sorts of things.. as i said it depends on the codec of the video also. [14:33] you right lol [14:33] jrib: Uh oh, this is a really newbish question, (I just started Ubuntu) but I got this "Package Configuration" window in my terminal [14:33] DIFH-iceroot: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host [14:33] knoppix is debian lol [14:34] dr_willis: xvid [14:34] maybe I am just getting too old :) [14:34] thank you [14:34] DIFH-iceroot: It doesn't ask me the password :/ [14:34] blue112: login is correct? and why ssh-1? [14:34] anybody listen to me, i have monitor resolution problems and i am not able to get higher resolution [14:34] jrib: What shall I do now? Or what can I do? [14:34] DIFH-iceroot: I don't know why, but I think it's ssh-1. [14:34] blue112, is the sshd running and bind to the proper IP address on the server ? [14:34] !patience | kanhiya78 [14:34] kanhiya78: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [14:34] Hey People! How would you updated Ubuntu 7 from Gimp 2.2 to the latest version? [14:34] kanhiya78:ibex or hardy ? [14:34] Myrstidal: can you give more details or pastebin what it is asking? [14:34] joaopinto: I don't really know, I can't connect... [14:34] goog, you don't you should upgrade to the latest ubuntu version [14:34] 8.10 ibex [14:34] It seems like Ubuntu just came out the other day [14:35] joaopinto: apt-get distupgrade? [14:35] blue112, well, you will need to ask to the server admin [14:35] mikebeecham, try 'cat' ing the 2 files together and see [14:35] !who| kanhiya78: [14:35] !upgrade | goog [14:35] kanhiya78:: 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 :) [14:35] goog: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [14:35] 8 millions users....

[14:35] kanhiya78:which graphics card ? [14:35] joaopinto: He can't do anything right now... Can't I do something for make it works ? [14:35] ok [14:35] !tab [14:35] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [14:35] jrib: It's just "Configuring sun-java6-jre" and gives me a lot of legal jargon [14:35] is python 2.6 in the repos for hardy? [14:35] blue112, if the problem is on the server and you are working on the client, no, you can't [14:35] dr_willis...sorry mate, new linux user...that makes no sense to me what you just typed [14:35] And I don't know how to accept it [14:36] Myrstidal: right, just accept (assuming you agree to sun's license) [14:36] !xorg.conf [14:36] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[14:36] bin is for binaries lib for libraries mnt for mounting [14:36] Myrstidal: or space bar. A combination of those :) [14:36] I don't know anything about ssh-1, that's why i'm asking for help [14:36] Myrstidal, unless you have a specific need for the sun jre, you can use openjdk-6-jre, which does not have those legal requirements [14:36] mikebeecham, time to learn some linux/command line basics then i guess.. thats about as basic a command as ya get... [14:37] how can i become a root? [14:37] jrib: Wow, worked like a charm! I hope it'll be smooth sailing from now on.

[15:20] LjL my Taskbar up (with Applications, System...) and down (active windows) [15:20] ikonia a window opens having the title windows shares on [15:20] the ubuntu wont boot because of these errors [15:21] LjL, with other applications the taskbar is not hidden [15:21] ossec-user: apache and smtp having the wrong config will NOT stop ubuntu from booting [15:21] chrisorange2: weird, is that on the eeepc? with maximus or something? [15:21] Does a bootable partition on an external hdd has to be the first partition? [15:21] on the drive [15:21] pronoy: ok, so those are the shares [15:21] LiveCD, at the desktop the mouse cursor can move, but the buttons don't work.. [15:21] Any ideas? [15:21] i know the smtp server is ok it works as i get mails b4 i install ossec-wui [15:21] and yes [15:22] ossec-user: again - this is nothing to do with ubuntu [15:22] ikonia ya but we have a seperate space on our server....which requires a login...i want to access taht [15:22] ok [15:22] ossec-user: it must be ossec [15:22] sorry this is a busy channel [15:22] thanks [15:22] LjL, no i's my normal pc :) [15:22] pronoy: how do you access this "space" when you are not using ubuntu ? [15:23] ikonia i used windows earlier...just used to go to "run" and type // [15:23] ikonia: and a login screen would appear [15:23] pronoy: ok - so thats the same as what your doing in ubuntu [15:23] pronoy: your click on one of the folders and it will prompt you for a password I imagine [15:24] ikonia only problem being...there are no folders in the windows shares folders [15:24] can you make an ssh connection link on a website? [15:24] is there any way to "rise" minimized programs through the terminal? [15:24] pronoy: you said it opens a windows and has folders in [15:24] pronoy: open one of those folders [15:24] jokkaa: see wmctrl [15:25] Can someone please tell me how to find out the cause of an XIO error? :) [15:25] Raiscan: when are you getting it ? [15:25] when I run anything in wine, or openttd [15:25] I don't have must on the server that isnt command line so I'm not sure what else to test it with.. [15:26] ikonia:no no.... just a browser window opens and there are no folders in it..... [15:26] I'm trying to setup an ssh connection on my home network, because I want to do file sharing and synchronize between my laptop and desktop, and maybe even log in remotely to adminsiter the desktop when i'm away from home. I've been reading stuff online, but nothing that is really newb friendly. Like, I still haven't figured out if I need to statically assign ip addresses from my router. I did, just in case, but is it necessary? A [15:27] Raiscan you may want to check this, but I'm reading through error logs now, and it appears to be a common issue with wine and certain setups [15:27] LiJ, i found a soloution for the problem [15:28] At this point I've got everything needed installed on both computers, and I've changed a few settings on my host computer according to some things I've read online, for instance, changing the port that it listens on. [15:28] ikonia: is there any solutions posted after said error logs? :) [15:28] LiJ, i had to right click on firefox symbol and change the size for the window === frybye is now known as frybyeikon [15:28] perhaps it's an opengl problem. I'm unsure about restricted video drivers though [15:29] #nerieru@irchighway.net [15:29] But I don't know if I've got keys made yet, or how to connect to the host machine once I do get the generated. Is the host name the statically assigned ip address on my home network? And what about when I'm at school and want to dial in, how do I figure out the host name then? [15:29] ikonia: gimp now has new menu option "print with gutenprint" and that works fine.. the regular print option still now working - dont matter i guess.. === goldmetal is now known as veryhungry === veryhungry is now known as goldmetal [15:31] ikonia : hey got any ideas ? [15:31] pronoy: do you know the name of the share you want [15:31] please kindly tell me how to start pidgin automatically in startup thanks? [15:32] ikonia: sorry there was a typpo .. regular print option still NOT working.... [15:32] ikonia: but like I say - not so important I guess, when the gutenberg sys working... [15:32] please anyone in this room sir and mam how to start pidgin during startup? [15:32] frybyeikon: try rebooting the PC -see if it changes the status of the cups daemon [15:33] jpablanche: System -> Preferences -> Sessions [15:33] o i see thank you i will try it now Brucevdk [15:34] how do you run audacity in a wrapper for another audio driver? === deea is now known as prodigel [15:34] iman_: there's aoss I guess [15:34] well vmware sure works a bit better on ubuntu 8.10 [15:34] I'm getting an error when installing vmware on my ubuntu intrepid amd64 system. any onw knows about this bug? [15:34] iman_: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Linux_Issues#OSS_vs_ALSA [15:35] jin did you install the 64-bit version? [15:35] w0ls0n, yes [15:35] vmware users should try virtualbox... it's free [15:35] Maybe I'll rephrase my story in the form of a question: To use ssh file sharing on a local network, is it important to statically assign ip addresses from the router? [15:35] woah there is a command Brucevdk how could i know the command? [15:35] jin I downloaded the standard 32-bit and it works fine for me [15:35] sir [15:35] w0ls0n, I think the error is related to kernel module compilation [15:35] oOarthurOo: no [15:35] jin it very well could be [15:35] is there something in the rep. which can plot graphs or points into an coordiante-system? [15:36] hi all. I've installed anjuta in ubuntu, never used it, made a test.c file and I can't link it. compile works, build is grayed. How can I set anjuta to be able to build files. My final purpose is to have an ide that can compile and run files/projects from menu. [15:36] jin: I had no probs (hardy), build-essential installed before ? [15:36] Hi! I installed the latest ubuntu (8.10 amd64), but I can't find any skype package. I tried to download it from the skype.com, but it won't install, it says, that the package is a i386 version, but my system is amd64. The static version doesn't works too: If I try to start, it says: No such file or directory. Anyone succeded to run skype on the newest ubuntu? [15:36] DasEI, they are installed [15:36] jpablanche: you can find out the command by going Applications -> Internet -> Pidgin -> Right click -> Add this launcher to desktop -> Right click launcher on desktop -> Properties -> Basic tab -> Command [15:36] jin: used the 64 linux version ? [15:36] DasEI, this is a ubuntu amd64 system with the latest update by the way [15:36] jpablanche: good point though..... [15:36] jin: same here [15:36] ok thank you very much sir ill try it [15:37] thank you ikonia, but what if I also want to be able to access the machine remotely. Wouldn't a static ip address be important so that I could open a port on the router and forward it to one machine only? [15:37] DasEI, what veriosn of vmware are you using, can you tell me the build #? [15:37] jin: hardy or ibex ? [15:37] jpablanche: actually even easier, you can drag the launcher to the session window [15:37] DasEI, Ibex [15:37] oOarthurOo: thats up to you if you make it static or dynamic, and also depends how your dns is setup [15:37] Brucevdk: you are not calling my name then why your name font is yellow? [15:37] jin: hardy here, I'm on ibex right now, was newest (6.5 or sth) [15:38] ValentineX: because I am the man! [15:38] Brucevdk: :D [15:38] crap, mine is 6.01 [15:38] ikonia: ok thanks... [15:38] Brucedvk: thanks many! [15:38] ikonia: I don't even know what a dns is. I doubt I have one. Our ISP handles that I think. It assigns ip addresses to us here, but those ip addresses get renewed from time to time. [15:38] okay, how can I restart X via command line? [15:38] ikonia: i have no idea what you mean.....total noob here === frybyeikon is now known as frybye [15:39] jin: 6.5. 118166 [15:39] that's the problem maybe [15:39] iman_: np [15:39] oOarthurOo: then you can't use a static ip if your isp assigns it [15:39] pronoy: do you know the name of the windows share you want to connecct to [15:39] can someone help me with /etc/fstab? I can do mount /dev/sdb1 /backup but I am not 100% sure how to add the entry in /etc/fstab [15:39] Raiscan: I guess $ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart , would be one option [15:39] w0ls0n: it looks exactly the same as the other lines - but with a different uuid and mount point [15:40] ikonia: nope.....is there a way to find out a list ? [15:40] okay, thanks Brucevdk [15:40] pronoy: ask your windows admin what the name of the share is you want [15:40] ikonia: i have an account on it....does that help...i know the name of it.... [15:41] pronoy: no [15:41] pronoy: ask your windows admin the name of the share you want [15:41] w0ls0n-> /dev/sdb1 /backup ext3 defaults 0 2 something like this [15:41] ikonia ok...in that case i'll get back to you later [15:43] Maybe I'm not making sense. I don't understand this very well. I have a router that three computers on the home network use to connect to the internet. The router gets it information from our ISP, which doesn't provide a static ip, but it is relatively stable, changing a few times a year, or after power failures, etc. One of the computer is a desktop, and the other two are laptops. I want to be able to connect to the desktop fr [15:43] Hey guys. i was having issues with getting the mic to work on my eeepc on intrepid with skype, anyone have any tips on trouble shooting the mic input? I tried skype->options-> sound devices, I can hear the other person when i swiitch sound out to pulse, and the ringer works with pulse also, i try setting pulse for sound in, but no joy.. any trouble shooting tips would be great. [15:43] oOarthurOo: so what's the problem then ? [15:44] oOarthurOo: i think you clipped the end of your question there. [15:44] whats the full path of the firefox? im running a program thats looks for a web browser, but i dont know where to point it to. [15:44] how do you connect to a cvs server on Ubuntu?

[15:45] jaypro: there aer some system admin executables that will live in other places like /usr/sbin or /sbin or other locations [15:45] I got two commands that I want to run at boot, could someone help me? [15:45] oh okay [15:46] good to know [15:46] ikonia: The problem is I can't find any newb friendly docs explaining this to me. For exampe, how do I connect to the desktop when at home? It was why I told the router to give each computer a static ip on the home network. Because I thought that was the "host name" [15:46] oOarthurOo: as your not using dynamic dns - you won't be able to use hostnames [15:46] jaypro: indeed :) there are some good file system layout guides and diagrams that explain the purpose of the various linux directory layouts [15:46] oOarthurOo: you basiclly need to connect to your machines ip addresses [15:46] Hello [15:47] oOarthurOo-> you have to have entries in /etc/hosts file to make the resolver resolve to host names, or if you get fancy your own dns server [15:47] I can't finde any CONNECT option in my Network Manager for the VPN connections, however I have the option to add a new one and configure it, please I need help [15:47] hello i have a problem with opera 9.62. i have flash 9 and not run in opera ¿why?

For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [15:49] ikonia: no thanks, jeez [15:49] Iradieh: what ?

[15:50] ikonia: I have an idea what the problem was.. it looks like I perhaps have to close the Isane scanning appl before printing - because that might cause the printer to be flagged as -busy- ?? [15:50] jpablanche: #samba [15:50] frybye: seems interesting [15:50] Are there any GTK2 theme editors/creators out there, I did google it but it seemed inconclusive [15:50] either way it is now working - after closing Isane...

[15:51] jpablanche: what command are you using to join the samba channel [15:51] ikonia: ok... I know what those are, and how to find those out. n8tuser suggested that I could say enter into my hosts file something like 192.168.0.197 Desktop. In which case, I would then be able to say either connect to 192.168.0.197 or connect to Desktop. Both would work. Am I starting to understand this?

[16:04] wiehan i think thats the nvidia bug [16:04] oOarthurOo: hrmm.. well i have a win xp partition, and my ubuntu partition... each partition is roughly 40 gb (stupid choice when first stting it up).. so I have pretty much just media & stuff on my ubuntu partition... [16:05] Delvien: is it being addressed? [16:05] !ask | ichigo-soul-reap [16:05] ichigo-soul-reap: 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. :-) [16:05] oOarthurOo: I'm just gonna burn and backup all my data... but after that, if I just re-install ubuntu 8.04 from the CD i originally used, should that do it? [16:05] I like dark desktop themes, but how come there are no icons in openoffice.org when I use one? [16:05] any latitude D830 users in here ? [16:05] rand0mabo: Why not just copy the data over to your windows, then reinstall? [16:05] rand0mabo: rather download intrepid instead? [16:05] hi all... how can i unarchive .rar (& .r00 .r01 .r02...) files? Archive Manager says archive type not supported, and XArchive manager has the rar wrapper but "needed program not found" (no cmd line utils rar and unrar). I don't see rar&unrar included in any options in add/remove-software. Any help? [16:05] n8tuser: I tried plugging it into both sides... no effect on the laptop side (the client) and it shows up in the desktop (server) side, but won't let me access it. It gives an "Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied." [16:05] hello guys [16:06] freeatlast:http://childsplay.sourceforge.net/plugins.php [16:06] C0p3rn1c: i use d820 [16:06] what application can i use to play videos? [16:06] oOarthurOo: no room on the windows partition [16:06] what kind of error is this desktop effect could not be enable? [16:06] wiehan: what? [16:06] Is it possible by using Terminal to increase the size of the Ubuntu installation? (I used Wubi to install it and need to increase the size from 5gig to 15gig) :) [16:06] hello all [16:06] admin_masu3701, vlc amongst others [16:06] atarimoe_-> is it mounted properly? [16:06] mark488: use a difrent archiver [16:06] admin_masu3701: Are you having difficulty playing files? Then perhaps you need the right codecs [16:07] n8tuser: it gives the error when it tries to mount [16:07] Newk, Thanks much - just came across this site after doing a google search. [16:07] Im all new on Ubuntu................ I got problems with whatever i do???????? Will this keep on going? Is Ubuntu just a full time job? [16:07] admin_masu3701: I believe VLC is possible to install on linux by native :) [16:07] atarimoe_-> you sudo to root and modify how it is mounted, look at the /etc/fstab on both sides [16:07] mark488: I use File-roller 2.22.3 [16:07] rand0mabo: Too bad. In an ideal world you'd have all your data on a separate home partition, say 20GB, a windows partition of about 14 GB, and Ubuntu of about 5GB. Makes upgrades, reinstalls and sharing a snap. [16:07] wiehan: i have a dvd i want to watch [16:08] If I do gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" and there are defective files on the cd will it try to use apt to replace them? [16:08] admin_masu3701: Use VLC for it :) [16:08] how to install vlc ? [16:08] ok [16:08] every time my my laptop resumes from suspend it asks for a password. how can i disable that? [16:08] oOarthurOo: heh yeah... i figure i might try that this time around so this doesn't happen again.. but case in point, i just want to clarify that assuming I do backup all of the data, i can just re-install Hardy Heron via the cd I originally used, and it should pretty much just start completely fresh? [16:08] Delvien: Does your standby work ? [16:08] It supports most codecs and its downloadable directly to Linux :) [16:08] C0p3rn1c: re: use diff archiver.... looks like most archivers on add/remove-software require/use cmd line archive utils [16:08] admin_masu3701: just google how to add medibuntu repositories [16:09] http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html [16:09] no [16:09] That is how to download VLC fo Ubuntu :) [16:09] admin_masu3701: and then install libdvdcss [16:09] sudo apt-get install vlc [16:09] Roofel, no [16:09] rand0mabo: Absolutely. And all the updates that will be applied will be for Hardy. [16:09] mark488: Not with file-roller [16:09] it is in the repos Roofel [16:09] jpablanche, go to terminal write sudo apt-get install vlc [16:09] Well bazhang, I did it with that link and it worked kinda easy :P [16:09] jpablanche: or sudo aptitude install vlc [16:09] You use the terminal to get it though [16:10] Roofel, that breaks package management [16:10] after installing it where can i find it [16:10] admin_masu3701: Nobody seems to bother that you actually want to watch a DVD, which is most likely encrypted, thus advice concerning installing VLC won't do a thing without the right codecs.. [16:10] in application [16:10] Well, on the start of the page it stands: "Open Synaptic (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager). In Settings -> Repositories, make sure you have a "multiverse" repository activated." [16:10] applications sound and videos jpablanche [16:10] n8tuser: I'm not seeing anything about it in /etc/fstab on the server side.... [16:10] then you just use apt-get to get it installed [16:10] alright [16:11] C0p3rn1c: mark488: Not with file-roller: will take a look for it in add/remove-sw. thx! [16:11] Delvien: What version of ubuntu do you have ? [16:11] jpablanche: it will be in your applications sound and video [16:11] is free the ubottu source code? [16:11] lvlefisto, it is supybot [16:11] alright then i have version 7.10 [16:11] bazhang: thanks [16:11] why o why has no-one yet created a GTK+2 theme editor? [16:11] thank you people [16:11] mark488: np, you can also type sudo apt-get install file-roller [16:11] libdvdcss2 download that file and install it, then you will be able to watch DVD in Ubuntu's own player [16:11] in the console [16:12] C0p3rn1c: 8.10 [16:12] is there a linux chrome yet [16:12] atarimoe_-> perhaps an entry in /etc/udev/rules.d you have to look around how a usb works in hotplug [16:12] Delvien: Does your stanby work ? [16:12] nesses client doesn't connect to nessusd? [16:12] davidfx, no [16:12] thanks [16:12] Greetings. I am using Xubuntu(Hardy) . Can someone point me to some resources that will help me get multiple graphical logins, so I can get an extra screen at Ctrl-Alt+F8 ?

[16:14] kksm19820117-> you can look into /etc/gdm/custom.conf or gdm.conf === AliTarihi is now known as AliTarihi|away [16:14] wiehan, it tells me that i can add a earlier version of nvidia [16:14] hopw do i turn joi/leave messages off in irssi/?

[16:16] oi [16:16] eu naum tenho ubuntu [16:16] pindakaas117, prob is i cant change it, only to a earlier version [16:16] vc ta i? [16:16] Markimho: asodkaoskdasok [16:17] C0p3rn1c, whats that? === ValentineX1 is now known as ValentineX [16:17] C0p3rn1c: i wouldnt suggest envy to anyone. it can break things badly [16:17] Delvien: it works for me =) [16:18] C0p3rn1c: one users good experience doest mean everyone else had that luck :) [16:18] mikethk: EnvyNG is your last resort, it automatically installs your videocard drivers [16:18] Delvien: yeah ok, as you can see I recommend it as a last resort =) [16:19] C0p3rn1c: aye [16:19] C0p3rn1c, im 100% sure i got a video driver from nvidia... So im not in need of a driver. maybe a new driver? will envyNG find new driver maybe? [16:19] mikethk: you can also download and install the drivers from the nvidia site [16:19] ' [16:20] mikethk: yes it will find a new one, but it's better to install a beta driver from the nvidia site [16:20] Is it possible by using Terminal to increase the size of the Ubuntu installation? (I used Wubi to install it and need to increase the size from 5gig to 15gig) :) Trying not so spam so :P [16:20] hopw do i turn joi/leave messages off in irssi/? (have always used xchat/) [16:20] nm, i got usb-creator working right now [16:20] Delvien: would you recommend the beta drivers from nvida ? :) [16:20] C0p3rn1c, i try that [16:21] hello [16:21] C0p3rn1c: 173 is stable 177+ is not [16:21] Delvien: in my expirience the unstable ones work better then the stable =) [16:21] salut [16:21] hi [16:22] i have installed ubuntu (8.10) on a seperate partition (/dev/sdd3) and pointed it to install grub on /dev/sdd, i have tried getting the /dev/sdd mbr and use it, but it did not work (also for /dev/sdd3) [16:22] C0p3rn1c: unstable has bugs that you may not have noticed or were lucky. Again one users exp :) [16:22] when i used the /dev/sdd mbr, all i got when booting was "GRUB " [16:23] could anyone tell me how much harddrive space you should devote to swap as a percentage? [16:23] Having a problem, whenever I modprobe tun, no devices are being created [16:23] what is the corrent command for outputting the mbr to a file ? [16:23] C0p3rn1c: looks like ArchiveManager is built on file-roller, yet ArchiveManager says "type not supported". Ran update manager, in case my ArchiveManager/file-roller is too old. Update didn't work. This is an old installation... How recent is rar? [16:23] mikethk: ok yeah listen to Delvien, use the stable ones [16:23] !swap [16:23] hi. i use advanced desktop effects with 8.10, and for some reason, it loves to move my mouse pointer around. how can i deactivate this? [16:23] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [16:23] Having a problem, whenever I modprobe tun, no devices are being created [16:23] wos: 2x your RAM size is often suggested [16:24] mark488: rar has bin around for ages [16:24] hi [16:24] i know this is a dumb question [16:24] but how do i ls and only list directories [16:24] mark488: maybe you can remove and re-install it ? [16:24] without using -l and grep [16:25] is there still problems with the flashpluging-nonfree package on 8.10 64bit? [16:25] billybigrigger: my flash is working perfectly [16:25] hurray for multiple workspace !!! [16:25] billybigrigger: on my 64 bit system [16:26] Having a problem, whenever I modprobe tun, no devices are being created [16:26] C0p3rn1c: "maybe you can remove and re-install it ?" that's an idea. Will try... [16:26] rigel: man ls [16:26] sudobash: yeah, i wasnt able to find anything [16:26] already done that [16:27] C0p3rn1c, thanks [16:27] i'm using ubuntu 8.10 and my flash is not working [16:27] can anyone help me? [16:27] Hi, is it ok to have your CPU running at 40% consistently? [16:27] udevd is killing me. [16:27] to fix flash : http://queleimporta.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-flash-10-on-ubuntu-64-bits/en [16:27] martinmunoz: if you are doing stuff yes. if you arent doing anything and it idle no [16:28] rigel then you missed ls -d [16:28] ERWWERR: what is your problem? [16:28] also you may like ls -a and ls -l [16:28] video playback with mplayer, vlc, xine stopped working at the same time on my system, for no obvious reason. any hint what might have happened, or how i can get it to work again? [16:28] Delvien: I mean is bad for my hardware? My laptop is hot, but i want to debug this. [16:28] I'm basically idle. udevd is hanging [16:29] martinmunoz: well what speed is your cpu? [16:29] not quite sure actually haha [16:29] martinmunoz, im running xchat, transmission, 2 filezilla clients, gimp, and apt-get upgrading some packages and not ever going over 20% [16:29] hey guys, i think i have a problem with my ubuntu [16:30] how can I prevent console session hijacking [16:30] ? [16:30] i just freshly installed 8.10 [16:30] I upgraded from Hardy Hero to Ibex, but when i boot my computer. It still has the old kernel to load [16:30] martinmunoz, so if your at 40% idle you should type top in a terminal and see what process is using all your cpu [16:30] is that normal? [16:30] billybigrigger: I recommend you to go to this site : http://queleimporta.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-flash-10-on-ubuntu-64-bits/en [16:30] I have a laptop that has AMD cpu, and ATI display. How do I get hardware-information from those? I mean current cpu voltage, thermal conditions etc? [16:30] is there a way of converting my ide dvd writer into an external usb? [16:30] udevd is constantly ~40% CPU [16:30] ubuntu on laptop sucks [16:31] Finnish there are some tools on the AMD website [16:31] C0p3rn1c, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree is all i did [16:31] *linux* on laptop sucks [16:31] pranith: I'm starting to believe you [16:31] anybody have a factoid for pranith? [16:31] pranith actually I have seen quite a few GOOD laptops do quite well on Ubuntu [16:31] billybigrigger: as long as it works =) [16:31] Imaginativeone__: yes but this is a ubuntu support channel not a dvd drive support channel. check it out on google [16:31] but it does suck if your laptop sucks first [16:31] Hi there [16:31] sudobash, :) [16:31] martinmunoz: linux works fine on laptops [16:32] the harddrive killing bug is really a headache [16:32] !offtopic [16:32] I want to believe that, heh.

I mean, it's on every Intrepid.. how is that possible? [16:33] pranith: thenits a driver or hw problem [16:33] I'm not sure, nothing incredible ~1.6 GHz? It's an acer aspire 5570.

I used to use the hdparm -B 254 fix (hdd-ugly.sh), which worked fine.. no overheating [16:36] lucky you, you don't want to run ubuntu, and run windows in virtualbox in it [16:36] pranith: why don't you use ubuntu as your main os ?

[16:45] I would like to move a the Start Icon for a application in Applications/Games to a Applications/Education folder - Anyone tell me easiest way to do this ? ? [16:45] yes i can [16:45] Brucevdk, im using hardy.. so im not so sure :) [16:45] oh that happens only after I try to "upgrade" [16:45] pranith: here's the master bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 [16:45] do... sudo apt-get update [16:45] that works [16:45] and then sudo apt-get upgrade [16:45] pranith: you should try Ibex, as I believe it has been resolved [16:45] update-manager -d [16:46] Brucevdk, cant spend another 3 days installing all the stuff.. i prefer lts :( [16:46] they should release the fix [16:46] pranith: What doesn't work? [16:46] back port it to older releases [16:46] pranith, stil with lts then [16:46] arrrghhh, yeah [16:46] sudobash, a better way is do-release-upgrade [16:46] echo 2 c my nick.name [16:47] if you reinstall ubuntu from CD, will it keep your home dir intact? [16:47] is there a software for me to use microphone and camera to do web conference with my clients on msn? [16:47] i upgraded my server and desktop in that fashion, flawlessly. the new x.org and nvidia drivers on the other hand... [16:47] metbsd, let me know if there is [16:47] knoppix: not unless you have a seperate partition with your home dir and you tell it not to touch that dir [16:47] i just did update-manager -d [16:47] knoppix: It depends how you originally installed, if you created a seperate home partition, you can specify to use that again without formatting it [16:47] and it worked well [16:48] knoppix, you did that before? [16:48] knoppix, yes you must have it on a separate partition and not format that partition in order to preserve your /home. [16:48] metbsd no, but I'm interested [16:48] pangloss, knoppix , actually 8.10 does support installing into a single partition without formatting [16:48] sudobash, update-manager -d works, but i've found do-release-upgrade is more consistent. [16:48] cool [16:48] 8.10 is where you get a black splash startup screen? [16:48] joaopinto: hmmm, ill have to check the release notes for that [16:49] is there a software to do crazy things such as using microphone and camera to do web conference with my clients on msn? hehehe [16:49] My external cd/dvd writer maøfs with error "Buffer I/O error on device sr1, logical block 0". What causes it? [16:49] pangloss, https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UbiquityPreserveHome [16:49] joaopinto: ty [16:49] but it was buggy on the RC, hope it was fixed on the final cd [16:49] metbsd, never needed to do that before, but does skype achieve that? [16:50] arrrghhh, so I mkdir a directory mv all my home contents to it then, that should work or is there a more elegant method? [16:50] metbsd: You could try looking into Amsn, I think (from memory) that that lets you use a webcam with MSN clients [16:50] since when can skype talk to msn clients? [16:50] wen i watch a movie with any player.....the movie contrasts seems to be too high...this is the same case with all videos...it never happened before....suddenly today i saw this change...can anyone help?? [16:50] metbsd, I believe amsn has webcam support, no idea about audio [16:51] does anyone have actual experience did crazy stuff like webcam and voice SAME TIME with msn client [16:51] ok i have apt-cacher-ng installed [16:51] that has a cached copy of intrepid.gpg [16:51] metbsd, most linux users prefer to use non msn IM clients because there is better multimedia supporta :) [16:51] how do i remove that cached copy? [16:52] knoppix, when you format your disks initially you actually make a separate partition for /home... [16:52] wen i watch a movie with any player.....the movie contrasts seems to be too high...this is the same case with all videos...it never happened before....suddenly today i saw this change...can anyone help?? [16:52] mr-rich, just remove it from /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/ [16:52] How do I execute a script as sudo? i.e., $ sudo . ./myscript.sh does not work [16:52] knoppix, then when you reinstall linux you tell it to wipe your / but not your /home - then your /home is preserved. doesn't work if / and /home are on the same partition. you can even have /home on a separate drive if you want. [16:52] whats the command to read mail on ubuntu server? [16:53] anyone? [16:53] szaszka, sudo ./script.sh (assuming you have set +x on it) [16:53] whats the best java IDE for ubuntu? [16:53] arrrghhh, the ubuntu 8.10 installer does support installing into a single partition preserving the /home [16:53] Brucee, google would definitely be your friend there... assuming you're setting up a pop server etc [16:53] !best | Cluber [16:53] Cluber: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[16:54] metbsd: What are you trying to do? [16:54] arrrghhh, you do not need to format, the installar will remove all the system dirs [16:54] wen i watch a movie with any player.....the movie contrasts seems to be too high...this is the same case with all videos...it never happened before....suddenly today i saw this change...can anyone help??

For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [17:03] knoppix, evidently there's a new thing with 8.10 where it won't delete your /home even if it's in a separate partition or not. i've always put mine in a separate partition just because. [17:03] knoppix, if your data is really important, you should have backups anyway [17:03] DarkKnight, then find out [17:03] yes but that's about three DVDs [17:03] songbird: you can use the bcm4xxx driver for that with fw-cutter cant you [17:03] bazhang....how do i??? [17:03] knoppix, i put the important stuff in the cloud. adrive.com gives you 50gb. [17:03] knoppix, if you dont backup then you dont want it [17:04] pangloss, what is fw-cutter?

[17:54] during startup? [17:54] OK, I installed virtual manager from tasksel, Now how do I use it to install an OS in VM ? [17:54] jobe: if you have any drives with any space, XP will go on there fine, otherwise i'd backup data and resize partitions from livecd with gparted [17:54] which music player do you guys prefer? [17:54] What the, the forums are down again :/ [17:54] magcius: Because I've been working on this for three days [17:54] oOarthurOo, everything is networked underneath on *nix even on a local machine [17:54] virtual machine ** [17:54] ttplayer [17:54] pangloss: i have 4328 for wireless b,g,n [17:54] Hi there, I am about to order an edimax wifi card. Every user says it works well, but now I saw https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/284005 [17:54] Svenstar0, yes. [17:54] When I got a program that is supposed to be executed from Terminal but its in .bin file, how do I make it executable in Terminal? Do I have to use CHMOD to make it into a .exe file? :) [17:55] oorjha: run the app and create a new virtual machine, mount the cd/iso to install from and away you go [17:55] do some of you own an edimax card and can confirm it works in hardy? [17:55] magcius: why did I have to create the key pair if I can just login like this? [17:55] magcius, how come theyre down so often lately? [17:55] fuck [17:55] roofel: chmod +x [17:55] roofel♂ chmod +x [17:55] actionparsnip: hmm, so if I make just a small ntfs partition on that ubuntu HDD then you think XP will let me install its boot files there? [17:55] magcius: I've been trying to figure out how to install the public key I created. [17:55] !ohmy | darkteckno [17:55] darkteckno: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [17:55] Svenstar0, blame MySQL [17:55] darkteckno, no cursing [17:55] but does it have to be a .exe file to be used in terminal? :) [17:55] sorry === Exteris_ is now known as Exteris [17:55] magcius, I WILL! Did the DB just got nuked or somethingß [17:55] roofel, umm.... EXE? [17:55] actionparsnip: like a 100mb partition [17:55] Hehe :P True xD [17:55] roofel, EXE is Windows... [17:56] magcius, actually there ARE some precompiled linux binaries that are .exe. At least I've seen some. [17:56] roofel, as long as the executable flag is set and there's either a executable header or a shebang line... [17:56] jobe: you make unallocated space and windows will use it. if you have any space xp will use it, if you use SATA you will need to install the sata drivers via floppy disk [17:56] ActionParsnip, Do I need to install qemu ? [17:56] Is there some way I can, without being able to see anything onscreen, switch to a different resolution while Ubuntu is booting? [17:56] Ill try it then [17:56] guys I am chatting from windows because my iwl3945 does not work where I am now under ubuntu, please help me getting out of this hell and advice a good wifi usb dongle for linux :) [17:56] oorjha: if you need it, yes [17:56] Svenstar0, EXE is the Portable Executable format. It must be running WINE then. [17:57] u hoh [17:57] unrar p -inul %d/%f | mplayer - shouldnt that work in gnome acctions? [17:57] magcius, not necessarily. There are some applications that are linux and windows binary at once but they carry a .exe extension. No Wine going on. Not being a smartass, just saying :) [17:57] ActionParsnip, Is there a GUI or a command line for creating a virtual machine ? [17:57] Le-Chuck_ITA: its a big buggy in intrepid [17:58] Svenstar0, there is no such thing as a Linux and Windows binary in one... [17:58] ActionParsnip: what, the edimax? [17:58] Alright fixed my problem. I removed all the /update/alsa lines for modules.dep [17:58] Svenstar0, ELF format vs PE format [17:58] oorjha: ive not used qemu, ive used virtual box and vmware [17:58] actionparsnip: yes I am using sata. bah. I think i'll have to disconnect the others like i originally suggested. Just to clarify - I have two HDDs of relevance here, one ubuntu, one blank awaiting XP. XP wont let me install on the blank one until I make space on the Ubuntu one for 'startup files'. So you are saying that If I just leave some unallocated space on the ubuntu HDD, say, between partitions, then XP will be happy enough to install its startup files [17:58] there? [17:58] magcius: if its a driver it can be extracted with cabextract ;) [17:58] magcius, magic then :) [17:58] any irc help site you can recommend? === Svenstar0 is now known as Svenstaro [17:59] darkteckno, always google questions first [17:59] hey there, im trying to make a ssh vpn connection with the ssh -w 0:0 but it dos't make the tun0 devices, can anyone help? [17:59] Hello, I've been having some trouble with compiz and in #compiz-fusion they suggested trying intrepid-proposed. That seems to have broken things even worse, so I removed the source. Any way I can rollback to the stable versions of everything that got upgraded to a -proposed version? [17:59] ActionParsnip, Yeah, even I have used VMware and virtualbox. Just that tasksel had a virtual machine I thought I would give it a shot [17:59] vadim, what distro are you running currently? [17:59] jobe: xp doesnt have sata drivers so they need providing at install and ONLY via floppy, you can use software to put the sata driver onto the xp cd so a FDD is not needed [17:59] magcius: intrepid [17:59] with no desk top [17:59] oorjha: ive not used it man, sorry. [18:00] hey.. is there a way to load gdm on lets say.. "ctrl+clt+f7" (the normal).. and then load another one on "ctrl+alt+f6" (for example).. and have the F6 auto login a user while the other (F7) be a normal login screen where you choose your sessions etc... [18:00] vadim, you should be able to remove the proposed version [18:00] vadim, you can also consider removing compiz completely [18:00] oorjha: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [18:00] anyone konw how to get a usb drive to mount automatically at boot? [18:00] djhash: yes it's possible, sorry I don't know more than that :p [18:00] doesn't seem to work in FF [18:00] magcius: well, adding proposed upgraded about 20 packages maybe. Can I do something to leave everything at the version it was before? [18:00] actionparsnip: yes the drivers are preloaded, along with alot of other stuff. the version of XP im using is a reputable souped up version. I dont think that missing sata drivers are the issue [18:00] Since while Ubuntu is booting, and if I'm unable to see any video, is there someway I can blindly tell it to try a different resolution? [18:00] djhash, you can... but it requires more than one x server running [18:00] man oh man, despite the evolutions... this remains as too much trouble to get working system,,, [18:01] hey guys [18:01] djhash: try searching for multiple x servers ubuntu [18:01] magcius: just removing proposed doesn't have any effect, dist-upgrade doesn't offer installing anything [18:01] timreichhart: hi [18:01] is anybody in here running a fax server [18:01] vadim, autoremove all packages not needed anymore? [18:01] magicus: aoupi: ok.. multiple x-servers.. thanks guys [18:01] djak_, it's not going to be easy... [18:02] whoops [18:02] is it posssible to get a hardy machine to be part of a windows workgroup? [18:02] timreichhart, I did once... [18:02] djhash, it's not going to be easy [18:02] ActionParsnip: do you own an edimax card? do you expect bugs to be solved soon, how does the situation look like to you? In any case does it work in hardy' [18:02] RobertTables, a SAMBA server works wonders [18:02] ActionParsnip, Oh no, I do not want to all those stuff.. I stick to VirtualBox.. Thanks anyway [18:02] Le-Chuck_ITA: not sure, hunt round, you can always use ndiswrapper til it gets sorted [18:02] magcius: what unneeded packages? It upgraded the nvidia driver for instance, it's needed. What I want is to get every package to the point before I upgraded it to a proposed version [18:02] RobertTables: if you're using GNOME and have samba installed it's easy to setup shares [18:02] oorjha: its not hard from what ive read [18:03] anyone else seeing really bad stutter in video playback in hardy and above? im seeing in mplayer using xv and vlc. i810 driver [18:03] so, I see I can do $ xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 to change resolutions from the command line, but, what do I do to get a command prompt while ubuntu is booting/has booted? [18:03] ActionParsnip, OK will give a try [18:03] keep In mind i can't see anything [18:03] vadim, upgrading just installs a different package [18:03] zacharym: its easy in any system with /etc/samba/smb.conf [18:03] zacharym, will this enable me to refer to the ubuntu box as its own hostname? [18:03] esc? `? [18:03] actionparsnip: if i remove all the other drives then do you think XP will install ok? I mean, It cant demand to make space on drives that dont exist, presumably it will just install its stinking boot records onto its own HDD, which will then be ignored as the bios has another 1st boot device set (the HDDS which I will replace after XP has installed) [18:03] ActionParsnip: ok but why do you say I can use ndiswrapper, do you own one? E.g. I am not able to use ndiswrapper for my iwl3945 (or else I would be doing that now, but it just does not work so I don't trust ndiswrapper too much!) [18:03] instead of just ip? [18:03] magcius: Or, to put it another way, I'm looking for an operation that will install whatever's current in the package sources, even if the system has something newer [18:03] ActionParsnip: I know, I just figured most would rather use the GNOME setup utils [18:03] jobe: yeah should be fine [18:03] ActionParsnip: since doing anything different would make using Ubuntu moot [18:04] Guys do you have an advice different from edimax for a wifi usb dongle for my beloved ubuntu? [18:04] zacharym: ive shown tonnes of users my smb.conf and they switched to editting the smb.conf file [18:04] actionparsnip: ok, ill give it a go. thanks a lot :) [18:04] where can i find the cookies.txt file in firefox? [18:04] hi. how do i install kernel includes? [18:04] Le-Chuck_ITA: it doesnt matter of the brand, only whats under the hood [18:04] vadim, is intreprid-proposed in the ubuntu repositories? [18:04] vadim, or is it third-party [18:04] ActionParsnip: that's a rt2something [18:04] magcius: it is [18:04] ActionParsnip: can i get ur smb,conf file please? [18:05] magcius: in repositories I mean [18:05] Le-Chuck_ITA: run lsusb and it will identify itself. the brand and model means very little in linux, only the chip thats inside [18:05] vadim, then all the packages you installed are in the ubuntu respositories. [18:05] if anybody setup a fax server what hardware did you guys use [18:05] Oprtz: sure [18:05] Hi i just installed ssh and apache and im trying to access from other machine, but it just wont reach...what can be happening? [18:05] vadim, removing proposed and autoremove should get rid of stuff not needed anymore [18:05] zamba: firefox doesn't use cookie.txt anymore. It uses sqlite [18:05] ActionParsnip: thanks dude :) [18:05] pangloss: sone help please [18:05] Oprtz: http://pastebin.com/f14b4c82e [18:05] ActionParsnip: I still have to buy it :) Or else i would know if it works :P but thanks [18:06] Oprtz: just look at the bottom 20 lines or so [18:06] jrib: i want to use firefox cookies store with wget.. how can i do that, then? [18:06] vadim, you should be able to force old versions of packages. [18:06] ActionParsnip: okie :) [18:06] so, while ubuntu is booting, and my monitor isn't displaying anything so I'm working blind, how would I get to the command prompt to enter a command such as... $ xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 to change resolutions? [18:06] Oprtz: the bracketed names are the share name, the rest is self explanatory [18:06] zamba: google export-firefox-cookies.py [18:06] magcius: I don't think I'm explaining well. Situation. I have the normal source. I get package 1.0. I add proposed, which has 1.1. Upgrade installs it. It doesn't work, I remove proposed. I'm looking for a command that will automatically get rid of whatever proposed added, returning to the versions that can be currently downloaded from the remaining package sources [18:06] zamba, figure out the cookies with Firebug and send them as the cookie headers [18:06] JoeDaMac: boot to root console and fix from there [18:07] ActionParsnip: I left by accident dunno if you replied, sorry [18:07] Oprtz: see how childishly simple it is.... [18:07] does ifup tell you why it failed to bring up an interface? [18:07] vadim, I don't think you can automatically determine what you installed/upgraded [18:07] Hi i just installed ssh and apache and im trying to access from other machine, but it just wont reach...what can be happening? [18:07] dataflow: should give you an output to terminal [18:07] pangloss: i did the firmware installation but what follows ... [18:07] hello, I`m on intrepid, and Rhythmbox uses 16% of CPU on a Core Duo when listening to mp3. I`ve disabled pulseaudio and the problem continues. what should I do? [18:07] vadim, you can look up what version of packages are required, but you can't tell which ones you had before or what you needed to change [18:07] n1ob: can you ping the systems name and ip address? [18:07] magcius: Why not? Can't it tell that I currently have 1.1 while 1.0 is the latest in the package sources? [18:08] ActionParsnip: i see [18:08] ActionParsnip, It did. it told me it didn't exist...but i see my card w/ lspci [18:08] vadim, you can say "get 1.0" but you may not have had 1.0 before, you may have had 1.0.1 [18:08] dataflow: have you configured any sort of firewalling? [18:08] how can I resize my swap partition? [18:08] pangloss: i am following the page you gave me but do not know exaclty what i am doing [18:08] vadim, if you know what versions you had before you can do "sudo apt-get install package=1.0" [18:08] magcius: nono, I don't care what there was before, I want to downgrade to the latest version available in sources [18:08] whats the off topic channel? [18:08] vadim, you HAVE the latest in the repository if proposed installed it [18:08] magcius: yes, but I removed proposed now [18:09] !ot | w0ls0n [18:09] w0ls0n: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:09] Oprtz: the gui is clumsy, plus if you master that file (not hard), you can ssh in, add another entry and restart samba to get another share, all remotely [18:09] vadim, are you sure it didn't add anymore package repositories? [18:09] magcius: no [18:09] ActionParsnip, no FW on this machine. ifup gives me this. There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.ath0.pid with pid 0 [18:09] and then tells me it doesnt exist [18:09] vadim, and you had no update messages before you installed proposed? [18:09] ziroday: there ??? [18:09] magcius: no, it was up to date [18:09] i think it's a complication with my driver. [18:09] vadim, then it installed separate packages [18:10] dataflow: you could check system logs [18:10] vadim, uninstall those [18:10] where do i get the kernel source? [18:10] !source [18:10] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [18:10] miaow-, git.kernel.org? [18:10] on the internet miaow- [18:10] !kernel > miaow- [18:10] miaow-, please see my private message [18:10] ActionParsnip, should i check auth.log? or messages? [18:10] both... [18:11] dataflow: everything you can find [18:11] ok, brb [18:11] dataflow: you could reload its module then check dmesg [18:11] hi [18:11] uh [18:11] when I use ubuntu 8.10 in virtual drive, I can't use it to preview before I install [18:12] asjdfkl, huh? [18:12] I mounted it [18:12] asjdfkl, what do you mean? [18:12] how do i install bittorrent? [18:12] asjdfkl: virtual drive? [18:12] and It asked me to install [18:12] well [18:12] like VMware [18:12] i thought i installed it but... [18:12] asjdfkl: you need a virtual machine [18:12] asjdfkl if you can boot to your virtual drive [18:12] yeah [18:12] some really simple app got installed :/ [18:12] ti have it [18:12] asjdfkl, you don't mount in VMWare [18:12] how do i find a list of the mods to reload it? or do i rm it myself? forgive my novice. this piticular wifi card is kinda crazy. seems like everyone else fixed it with madwifi. [18:12] ljuwaidah: what did you install and how? [18:12] I use virtual box [18:12] ljuwaidah, what client do you want? [18:13] sudo apt-get install bittorrent [18:13] ljuwaidah, I use deluge [18:13] magcius: well I don't know which, is there a log? I rebooted since then [18:13] ljuwaidah: transmission is the default bittorrent in ubuntu [18:13] dataflow: cat /etc/modules [18:13] magcius: you know, bittorrent, the original one? [18:13] is there a way to tell if my ati is running in accelerated mode ? [18:13] so, how come I can't install it [18:13] deluge? [18:13] ljuwaidah, that's windows only. don't use it. [18:13] i'll give it a shot [18:13] and how do i reload a module? [18:13] oh! [18:13] it saids it can't detect harddrive [18:13] which one was i using then? :/ [18:13] Does the picture editor in Ubuntu compare to photoshop???? [18:13] :!/cat /etc/modules [18:13] er [18:13] anyways, i'll give deluge a shot [18:13] anybody out there that knows where i can get an driver for bcm4328 [18:13] joebodo: glxinfo | head -5 [18:14] Shovi, you mean Gimp ?

I purged all k software but things sitll occasionally have remnents of how they looked on kde, essentially the test that goes into fields is white not black and then the menus under the title bar in any desktop manager I do whether it be XFCE or Fluxbox is blue [18:39] ftp server near sucks [18:39] any help?

[18:40] I like Fluxbox I'm using int now [18:40] boogaa, you do know that location isn't proportional to speed [18:40] I'm not sure what I could've done wrong but apparently, updating to Intrepid Ibex rendered my ext3 filesystem unaccessible from my windows partition... (I used to watch movies in windows that were on my linux partition, no problem).. now i can't access the linux drive at all [18:41] Nillerz: thank you,sir [18:41] linkmaster03, lemme know if it works mang [18:41] anyone know what's up with that?

[18:42] cruddpuppet: you usually use APT to install things on ubuntu [18:42] magcius: #include [18:42] billybigrigger: i already did before, but i guess I Have to re-install is what you're saying? [18:42] s/age/IQ level/ if you will [18:42] cruddpuppet: sudo apt-get install build-essential [18:42] does anyone have a problem when then they log out, or try power save mode on ubuntu [18:42] hahaah [18:42] boogaa stick to windows [18:43] What is the proper syntax to use with the scripts in /etc/init.d ?

[18:44] billydibrigger: you can install ext2 in windows and view linux files [18:44] Is the ATI RV350 core no longer supported? It comes up as UNCLAIMED (mobile 9700 card) [18:44] boogaa, then they don't have enough patience [18:44] ActionParsnip: I DONT want to start it, knetworkmanager starts also [18:44] ActionParsnip, i think he doesnt want it to start at login [18:44] I have a folder, and the user has rwx on it. What does the x do for the folder. [18:44] oOarthurOo: you can 'cd' to the directory [18:44] boogaa, but seriously. RTFM. You obviously didn't.

I can't access the directory, but if I could, then I could create and delete files inside them? [18:45] I need help with Ubuntu 8.10. It does not detect when I plug in my microphone. It keeps using my integrated mic. I have to reboot with the microphone plugged in order for it to detect it. Anybody can help me? [18:45] billybigrigger: you can go here http://www.fs-driver.org/ ,install to windows. Go to control panel and set up a drive letter for it.viola [18:45] rand0mabo, do you upgrade or clean install your ubuntu installs [18:45] n8tuser: i have no idea what you mean... before, when i was just using hardy heron.. all i did was install the ext3 filesystem drive thing in windows and i had access no problem... i was using it every day windows until i updated to intrepid [18:45] n8tuser: I'm reading about them. But there's something I don't understand about what I'm reading, so I'm asking. [18:45] lyk3n, no thanks, ill stick to using linux [18:45] !ubottu > magcius [18:45] magcius, please see my private message [18:45] lyk3n, haha [18:46] billybigrigger: this was my first update.. but i just did it through the auto-updates thing.. enabled normal releases in "software sources" and updated full OS [18:46] rand0mabo: try uninstalling the driver and reinstalling. Its not an ubuntu problem, its a windows problem. please try ##windows [18:46] rand0mabo-> you can not just access resources in Linux without getting authenticated [18:46] billybigrigger: well, at least now you know [18:46] rand0mabo, hmmm...i suggest a clean install [18:46] lyk3n, hehe thanks :P [18:46] ActionParsnip: Thank you, you're a star!! :) [18:46] n8tuser: i dont know what to tell you.. it worked before [18:46] fsrm [18:46] n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69708/ [18:46] new term [18:46] oOarthurOo: right (afaik) [18:46] how do I override refresh rate for specific resolution?

If you can't access a directory what point is having read and write permissions. [18:47] wubi wubi wubi [18:47] hey change that name [18:47] it sounds stupid [18:47] is it hard to set up a server in linux to network windows and linux [18:47] boogaa: do you have a support question we can help you with? [18:47] can i upgrade from 8.10 desktop to 8.10 server ? [18:47] I have a color problem. I don't know what happened because I wasn't on the computer at the time things got switched around, but I'd like to know how to switch it back. [18:47] I like Fluxbox I'm using int now [18:48] Ininstalled KDE as a desktop manager a while back but uninstalled it because I don't like it. I purged all k software but things sitll occasionally have remnents of how they looked on kde, essentially the test that goes into fields is white not black and then the menus under the title bar in any desktop manager I do whether it be XFCE or Fluxbox is blue [18:48] Dabbu: just install the server kernel and boot it [18:48] hey channel...I've been quite patient here, so is anyone available now to help me modify my gdm greeter/login screen? [18:48] JaxxMaxx__-> i said earlier to copy the format, so what is the issue? [18:48] Dabbu: wait. Why do you want to do that? [18:48] !upgrade | Dabbu [18:48] Dabbu: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [18:48] my power went out during upgrade to ibex. I have the gui back but now need help for the upgrade to show as a possibility for upgrade [18:48] jrib, the kernel is the same isnt it? [18:48] dennister: say what you tried and exactly how it didn't work [18:48] ldiamond: no [18:48] It doesn't have to do with the desktop, icons, or the borders of my windows. [18:48] billybigrigger: nope :( [18:48] linkmaster03: apt-cache show linux-image-server [18:48] n8tuser: I don't even know what you mean by "get authenticated to linux to use linux resources" so I couldn't have done it before.. Once i installed the Ext2 filesystem driver thing before, I chose a drive letter for it and it showed up in My Computer [18:48] jrib: i want to learn how to use and maintain a server ,,,,,? [18:48] and it worked just fine [18:48] until i updated [18:49] n8tuser: I'm issuing the stop command with /etc/init.d/freeradius stop but that doesn't kill the process [18:49] question about opening specific port to public in ubuntu [18:49] Dabbu, the server version doesnt have a gui you know...? [18:49] jrib: was that supposed to be for me? [18:49] But my panels, and everything else weird. [18:49] jrib: I can't even remember what I tried weeks ago...been looking in /etc/gdm/Init/Default, and presession [18:49] HELLO THOMAS LEE [18:49] rand0mabo-> well if you dont understand and cannot do a tutorial, i can not be much of help to you [18:49] ldiamond: apt-cache show linux-image-server [18:49] linkmaster03: nope, sorry :) [18:49] Dabbu, you can install Apache and everything on the desktop version [18:49] n8tuser, im booted into ubuntu now [18:49] JaxxMaxx__-> are you root? [18:49] ldiamond: no problem...i have a ebook to learn...... [18:49] jrib: thank you :D [18:49] Dabbu: ok, you don't need to do anything special. See ldiamond's advice === jku_ is now known as jku [18:50] slwpolar-> okay, congrats, now what is the issue? [18:50] n8tuser: could you explain what you meant by "get authenticated to linux to use linux resources" [18:50] Dabbu: you want to play with a web server? [18:50] ldiamond: i don't know anything about server [18:50] JaxxMaxx__-> are you root or root priviledge? [18:50] ldiamond, how can i open a port to the public [18:50] Im having problems getting my wireless internet to work [18:50] Dabbu, if you want, you could make a new partition and set it up from scratch to learn... but Updating wouldnt be the way to go [18:50] At all [18:50] n8tuser: I've sudo'd to an admin shell, yes [18:50] south_korea, You have to do it on your router [18:50] jrib: yes [18:50] can some1 help me with VNC [18:50] south_korea, use port triggering or port forwarding [18:50] i have no router [18:50] !lamp > Dabbu [18:50] Dabbu, please see my private message [18:50] ldiamond: yes i was thinking of that [18:50] For some strange reason, svn is not installed and aptitude can't find it. [18:51] jfirst of all, I find it very confusing to have the login configuration do all sorts of things with backgrounds, themes, etc, but have nothing to do with resolution/size/geometry....and to have that called the greeter [18:51] rand0mabo-> im telling you you need to get authenticated to linux to use linux resources, without authentication a user cannot access linux resources, try to be a user mongols and see how much you can do in your linux system [18:51] south_korea, then all you need is to have an application to listen to this port. [18:51] Dabbu: it may be a good idea to do this in a virtual machine so you don't worry about messing things up [18:51] hi folks [18:51] JaxxMaxx__-> and what error are you getting if any? [18:51] i have tomcat installed [18:51] how do i manage to run runescape on ubuntu? [18:51] Dabbu, jrib has a good point [18:51] I got a strange error message during upgrade to Ibex [18:51] access node is http://123.109.93.40:8080/ [18:51] south_korea, what port [18:51] ssssss [18:51] 8080 [18:51] iv already updated and upgraded my java [18:51] tomcat port [18:51] n8tuser: no response to my console when the command is issued. [18:51] linkmaster03, did it work? [18:51] jrib: i've certainly tried googling and stuff, but am getting nowhere [18:51] i used the aticccle to configure my dual monitor setup - the second monitor resolution is not good - is there a way to change it ? [18:51] I just get a newline [18:51] south_korea, if its already listening to it, you dont have a router, you dont have a firewall and your ISP doesnt block it, it should work [18:52] Question... How do i install Flash and Java? So it works with opera [18:52] ldiamond: can u give me some sugestion...i want to learn everything of my own..i don't live training because most of them at here at india sucks [18:52] billybigrigger: nope [18:52] dennister: what are you trying to accomplish exactly? [18:52] south_korea, You have nothing to do to open the port on your system besides listening to it [18:52] nvm [18:52] When someone has a chance can someone walk me through setting up a wirelss network on ubuntu? [18:52] mrrcp install the restricted extras package [18:52] i can see the page i made, but people can't see it [18:52] hi I had some problems with my last flash player and firefox crashes, which one should I choose now? adobe flash player, swfdec player, gnash swf player [18:52] JaxxMaxx__-> says has to be in level # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 are you on that level, or look at the script and see what stop) do [18:52] hey guys i installed internet explorer and it has flash9 i want to download flash 10 it does not work how to get flash player 10 on internet explorer on ubuntu [18:52] Dabbu, It depends what you want to do [18:52] ldiamond: live is actually like... [18:53] johannes__: adobe's will be able to play more flash content [18:53] http://123.109.93.40:8080/ please try this and see what happen [18:53] jrib: after I reboot, the greeter is too big...barely visible is the username and password boxes...can't get to the session chooser or anything; what I want to do is get the greeter to show the session chooser (kde, gnome, etc.) [18:53] Dabbu, Read tutorials about stuffs you want to do, set them up on a VM and make it work [18:53] jrib is it reliable? [18:53] joebodo, how [18:53] johannes__: works ok for me in intrepid [18:53] slwpolar-> you are on wubi, can you run network-manager ? [18:53] ubuntu has no firewall like seLinux ? [18:53] johannes__: sudo apt-get install --reinstall nspluginwrapper flashplayer-nonfree; nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so [18:53] ldiamond: why someone will use server ? [18:53] dennister: is this a resolution issue? [18:53] jrib thx [18:53] !firewall | south_korea [18:53] south_korea: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [18:53] How do I bring up network manager? [18:53] Dabbu, the Ubuntu server edition? [18:53] thanks action [18:54] ldiamond: yes ? [18:54] jrib: it may be; once i'm past the greeter, resolution is fine [18:54] ldiamond: this is the question i ask myself [18:54] I can find System > admin > system tools [18:54] network tools* [18:54] mrrcp sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:54] Not network manager [18:54] n8tuser: I'm not trying to change modes, I'm just trying to stop the freeradius daemon so I can clear the log file, then start it again [18:54] hey guys i installed internet explorer and it has flash9 i want to download flash 10 it does not work how to get flash player 10 on internet explorer [18:54] slwpolar-> okay thats the equivalent i think [18:54] Hi folks, can anyone suggest why my flash player (the Adobe one) is extremely buggy? It stops, starts, hangs and occasionally crashes Firefox. I'm running an up to date vanilla Ibex install; the only change is that I boot the kernel with noapic as my hardware doesn't play nicely with APIC. [18:54] dennister: I would try forcing X to use a specific resolution in xorg.conf. I haven't done this personally though [18:54] billybigrigger: you still there? [18:54] calum: are you on 64bit? [18:54] !x > dennister [18:54] dennister, please see my private message [18:54] Dabbu, People would use that when they host a server. The server doesnt need a gui (often doesnt even have a monitor), it only runs the applications needed, makes it faster and more stable [18:54] hey guys i installed internet explorer and it has flash9 i want to download flash 10 it does not work how to get flash player 10 on internet explorer on ubuntu [18:54] joebodo, is that a normal install? [18:55] Nope, an ancient Atholon XP 1200 [18:55] JaxxMaxx__-> did you look at the freeradius script when it calls "stop" ? [18:55] Dabbu, However, I dont think Ubuntu would be the right distro for a server, its more of a desktop distro imo [18:55] Dabbu, The server edition comes with very few things installed [18:55] mrrcp not sure what you mean by normal - it's one of the first things in install on ubuntu [18:55] JaxxMaxx__-> look at line 63 [18:55] i still have fedora 8 on my server personally [18:55] ldiamond: so on your opinion which is best [18:55] calum: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplayer-nonfree (and all other flash players you have installed) [18:55] mrrcp it installs java / flash/ and a few other useful things [18:55] hey guys i installed internet explorer and it has flash9 i want to download flash 10 it does not work how to get flash player 10 on internet explorer on ubuntu [18:56] jrib: thx [18:56] calum: then sudo apt-get clean then go to a site with flash, it will be offered to you [18:56] matrix: please don't spam [18:56] matrix: why are you running internet explorer on ubuntu [18:56] it probably isn't possible [18:56] ldiamond: what do you mean by few things installed [18:56] flash10 is quite new and may not work under WINE. [18:56] calum: something like http://www.rathergood.com/blode2 [18:56] Which distro? I dont really know, I'm also wondering which one to install on my server. But my server will also be used as a desktop, so Ill install a gui. [18:56] joebodo, thanks a ton [18:56] n8tuser: yes, it's calling killproc and handing it a PID that is hopefully correct. [18:56] when i go to adobe to install flash player 10 it says your platform not supported [18:56] Dabbu, It doesnt even have a web browser on. [18:56] I have Debian Etch on my server :) [18:56] ActionParsnip, I'll give that a try - I had tried the troubleshooting page from the FAQ, but got nowhere [18:56] Archlinux on my server :D [18:57] Dabbu, Its just a console with Apache installed (and a few other server progs) [18:57] debian lenny on my server [18:57] Im trying to allow a samba share for /var/www - anyone any pointers? ive edited the smb.conf directly with the necessary details.. im assuming its a permissions issue? Ive created a user/group of which my main user is a member, can anyone help? [18:57] calum: having a load of flash stuff installed can confuse stuff [18:57] JaxxMaxx__-> okay, test it [18:57] http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2mpa4gi&s=4 theres a ss of network tools, what next? [18:57] matrix do you have a amd64? [18:57] hmm anyone using CVPN with intrepid??? [18:57] calum: you could try nspluginwrapper which can help [18:57] ldiamond: can i connect to internet using wvdial [18:57] Dabbu, Honestly, start using linux desktop first. [18:57] How come a entry isn't showing up? [18:57] Dabbu, I dont know what wvdial is. [18:57] Hi Everyone - If I wanted to upgrade from Hardy Heron 8.04/Gnome to Intrepid Ibex - Would it be pretty straight forward and easy enough to do - Also if I upgrade would I lose anything I've already installed in Hardy ? ? ? [18:57] Oh, lookat that, there's no .pid file in here [18:58] no wonder it can't kill it. [18:58] nite_johnboy: it's easy, and no you won't lose anything [18:58] ldiamond: in ubuntu desktop my USB modem is detected..will it be same with server ? [18:58] nite_johnboy pretty straight forward - i didnt lose anything [18:58] Dabbu, I doubt it will be right out of the box. [18:58] : | can anyone help me set up my wireless internet in ubuntu? im tempted to go back to windows because this is a hassle [18:58] nite_johnboy it asks questions during the install - so you have to monitor it [18:58] Dabbu, You might want to try.

[19:29] @billy metacity works fine [19:29] help, i get an error message [19:29] about the icpc command [19:29] ikonia: doent see like [19:29] DarK_L0rD, what happens when compiz crashes [19:29] any ideas? [19:29] glaksmono: ask the question [19:29] I can't install 8.10, USB module error, the troubleshooting on the forum isn't working. [19:29] ikonia: its not there :( [19:29] ikonia, i got an error message that says about icpc command [19:29] Dillizar: so it's not a problem [19:29] what is it? [19:29] ikonia: lol [19:29] glaksmono: what is the error, and what are you trying to do [19:30] i searched through the web and it seems like it's intel compiler [19:30] i just got a message "(01:28:20 PM) mrares: Received CTCP 'PING 35003445' (to acee12345) from mrares" !!?? what is this? [19:30] ikonia: but the how to said that [19:30] i'm trying to makefile [19:30] JDahl: ok, I will try to reboot first. :) [19:30] question how do I get flash to work, I'm running ubuntu 8.10 x64 and have tried installing gnash and the gnash firefox plugin but it does not seem to be working properly. [19:30] ikonia: should i make it? [19:30] anyone got any clue about why some of my programs won't load and yet others work fine such such as sound, appearance, etc? [19:30] @billy can't close any windows and there are all sorts problems of cube not working, none of the compiz feature works [19:30] nintendork32: PATH=$PATH:/new/path/additions [19:30] hubar, have you install the svn extension for gnome-networkmanager? [19:30] Okay I tried to mount my audio CD manually. I used flag -t auto, and it said I needed to specify the fstype. What fs is used on an ordinary audio cd? And does anyone have an idea why it doesn't automount anymore, and Gnome tells me it cannot find /dev/scd0 even though it's listed in /dev/ ? [19:30] TerminalError-> which program? can you do an strace or ltrace ? [19:31] glaksmono: then you need to read up on how to make makefiles - as thats not really anything to do with ubuntu specificlhy [19:31] acee12345: someone (mrares) did a CTCP PING to you (checked the connection time between his and your PC). [19:31] DarK_L0rD, but the rest of your system is usable? its not hard locking? [19:31] ones that won't load are sound and appearance* [19:31] TerminalError: what do you mean [19:31] ikonia: add a new path for each path addition or add it to the same line like windows? [19:31] The-Compiler: why would they do that [19:31] DarK_L0rD, if thats the case, enable the compiz crash handler plugin and try to reproduce the crash, and read the log...see whats causing it [19:31] JDahl: Yeah, I installed vpnc and network-manager-vpnc. [19:31] @billy, that is correct and surprisingly the fusion-icon works so i could be able to swtich back [19:31] any program to create html? [19:31] ikonia here's the error [19:31] glaksmono: then you need to read up on how to make makefiles - as thats not really anything to do with ubuntu specificlhy [19:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/69722/ [19:32] ikonia: shouldnt there be an export before it? [19:32] !html > BleSS [19:32] BleSS, please see my private message [19:32] nintendork32: nah [19:32] how does one remove a program from run time? [19:32] well like firefox, synaptic package manager, xchat, etc load fine but sound and appearance just opens the program and freezes [19:32] nintendork32: All in one is fine, just separate with colons. [19:32] glaksmono: what are you trying to build [19:32] acee12345: Maybe he wanted to test what ctcp ping is and tested it on a randomly picked nick. Or he just clicked on a wrong place. Whatever. Ask him :P [19:32] does not load anything and have to force quit to get rid of it [19:32] i'm trying to build some bundle of C++ codes [19:32] Why is GoogleEarth crashing my Ubuntu Desktop ?

[19:33] tommy: what is the error [19:33] hubar, I am pretty sure I imported an .pcf file, and then manually entered the group passwords, but nothing else [19:33] after a reboot it works fine but then after a while it does that [19:33] glaksmono: wht are you trying to make - what application [19:33] The-Compiler: three times? [19:33] it consumes many resources so i'd want to know what it does [19:33] glaksmono-> why? why do you think i asked?

[19:34] well im going to reboot anyway brb [19:34] glaksmono-> if you created that yourself then you would know what targets you have ..so if not you, go back to the developer of that makefile and ask them [19:34] Dillizar: they are two seperate operating systems [19:34] JDahl: alright! [19:34] specifically this one: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69724/ [19:35] ikonia: i dont understand [19:35] ikonia, it's not a software, it's my own codes [19:35] JDahl: gonna reboot now . :) BBIAB [19:35] anybody with a dell mini with ubuntu hardy?

[20:48] ribas2 thanks for reading my question...w/o the pc connected is there anything in particular you'd wanna see from the ifconfig? or shall i be looking to type all that out to ya [20:48] ribas2: ls -la resolv.conf [20:48] ]RandoM[_: what is the type of router that you have? and do you have in your router setup a way to redirect for example port 22222 to internal port 22 on the 192.168.0.1 [20:49] i good way to test if a service is listening and theres a route : telnet [20:49] Em3raldMcSquizzy: sshfs != sftp as far as i know. the later is really made for file transfers. the first one is a workaround for those where sftp does not work [20:49] ironfoot_495: np :-) hope you get it to work [20:49] @fran somethin or other, I hear the apire's sound stops if it sleeps or something, I think anyway [20:49] Karotte-> what is the issue? [20:49] <]RandoM[_> paul68: its a dlink dir-615.. an N router [20:49] zsquareplusc: oic. Okay, well I will see if I can get sftp goin. I can prolly figure it out. Any recommendations before I start? [20:49] n8tuser: the 3g icon (the little tower) is not visible in the task bar [20:50] joebodo_: i like netcat (nc) for that. there i can get out with ctrl+c unlike telnet ;-) [20:50] n8tuser: it told me to click "here" to configure my 3G card, but there is nothing to click on [20:50] ribas2: mine says -rw-r--r-- 1 root root [20:50] Does anyone here have experience with intrepid on an Acer Aspire One? My sound suddenly broke. [20:50] zsquareplusc use control->] [20:50] @Francisn: did you try restarting? [20:50] right when the bootloader passes off to linux, it requires me to press the power-button to do something, which I assume causes some process to be killed, any idea what that might be orhow to figure it out [20:50] Karotte-> it is a modem device yes? [20:50] ]RandoM[_: can you check on your routers config page that you can redirect from outside port towards inside port? [20:50] then quit [20:50] @allele: I've restarted multiple times, but all I get whenever a sound tries to play is static [20:50] n8tuser: it's and 3G modem yes. HSDPA from T-Mobile (Germany) [20:50] control then ] [20:50] I have this "* * * * * touch ~/counter/$RANDOM" in my cronjobs and I see the $RANDOM is not evaluated, why? [20:51] Em3raldMcSquizzy: sftp is probably an option in the server. the command line tool on you other pc would be scp. nautlis supports sftp too [20:51] @FrancisN do you have a dual OS or is it just Ubuntu? [20:51] in RH or CentOS it would [20:51] /buffer 11 [20:51] @allele: Just ubuntu, it's only a 8gb SSD after all [20:51] Mariner: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 263 2008-11-09 15:33 resolv.conf [20:51] joebodo_: that like pressing ctrl+altgr+] for me.... i dont have an us keyborard [20:51] I'm trying to remove a program (from bash) but apt keeps telling me it cant find the config [20:51] hello world. could some please tell me how to install eee pc drivers for ubuntu 8.10? [20:51] hi, what is the recommended way to upgrade to ibex a remote computer? [20:51] Karotte-> its device, am not sure it will show up in your desktop, maybe you can take a peek in the nm or wicd ? [20:51] btw, it's inside /etc/resolvconf/run [20:52] @FrancisN oh, I was looking at getting the 120 gb one with xp... but that really doesn't help you at the moment. [20:52] I will be connecting to my mother's computer using vnc or ssh. she's hardy right now [20:52] <]RandoM[_> paul68: virtual servers ? i'm not seeing any kind of redirect section in the config [20:52] @allele: Should I delete my model= from alsa-base? [20:52] theuniverse see http://www.array.org/ubuntu/ [20:52] alesan: i'd do it via ssh but thats me [20:52] Why does it need the config if I'm removing it? [20:52] what's a good program for burning backup data dvds? [20:52] ActionParsnip, I agree, what command would you use to do that? [20:52] <]RandoM[_> The Virtual Server option allows you to define a single public port on your router for redirection to an internal LAN IP Address and Private LAN port if required. This feature is useful for hosting online services such as FTP or Web Servers. [20:52] zsquareplusc: coolies. Aright ... I'll go see what I can not screw up. I'll be back if I botch it good ;) Thanx [20:52] ribas2: no problem with permissions then.. but mine says # Generated by NetworkManager in the top. how have you configured it? [20:52] thank you [20:52] @FrancisN No idea, sounds out of my league [20:53] n8tuser: I don't see the nm icon either.. is there a way to "reset" the taskbar /menu bar on top of the screen?

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 :) [21:20] FrancisN, killall [21:20] FrancisN killall pulseaudio [21:20] FrancisN, killall pulseaudio [21:21] guntbert sorry about that [21:21] guntbert i was trying to speak to you ;x [21:21] why can't I map -D to anything? and (aka SuperL, and SuperR) are what are mapped...

I've tried telneting, tcpdump, strace -p . Almost like there is a firewall or something, but there isn't [21:23] FrancisN what triggered the original issue ? if nothing changed in your os / then the issue is probably hardware related [21:23] mib_uvrxww, connect from where, host machine, LAN, WAN? [21:23] local connection [21:23] mib_uvrxww: err i guess you know this but, you shouldn't really be connecting to the 0.0.0.0 address [21:23] hi, how can i define wlan in ubuntu 8.10 intrepid [21:23] say 127.0.0.1 [21:23] zsquareplusc, so you believe it might be my BIOS clock? thats alright. I thought it was related to this wifi problem i'm having [21:23] mib_uvrxww: is apache actually running [21:24] superjerm: good, now is there a line with ' inet address'? [21:24] LjL: that 0.0.0.0 is usually displayed if it is connected to ALL network devices [21:24] zsquareplusc: When Ubuntu is starting, I only get a busy cursor where a login screen should be.

I can't see any files when I check "trash://".. there are no files in ~/.local/share/Trash either..

[21:24] just sits there trying to connect [21:24] mib_uvrxww: what error do you get [21:24] joebodo_: yes, installed the driver for the card but faild to get wlan in iwconfig [21:24] FrancisN you can restart pulse with pulseaudio -D [21:25] mib_uvrxww: ok, so it a time out [21:25] No errors... [21:25] Yeah time out [21:25] mib_uvrxww, what this after a default install e.g. sudo apt-ge tisntall apache2 ? [21:25] Dominik1, usr ls -al to see hidden files [21:25] mib_uvrxww: and your trying this with 127.0.0.1 [21:25] *install [21:25] hey could someone explain to me how i can get my motherboard back panel sound output to work?

[21:26] mib_uvrxww: or "what are you typing in your browser" should be the qestion [21:26] yes, and localhost maps to 127.0.0.1 [21:26] Hey, everyone [21:26] I have a question [21:26] joebodo_: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback [21:26] NEWK2, ask man...little time...

[21:26] eitreach: ok. the normal ubuntu (gnome) uses GDM for log ins. you may reinstall that to get default config. maybe that helps? [21:26] but would it be possible to update to the latest one from a version that's several versions back? [21:26] joebodo_: ALSA gives static, the HDA name gives an error, and pulseaudio gives nothing [21:27] Specifically, I want to upgrade from 6.06 to the latest version [21:27] zsquareplusc: but will the config file still not be there, causing the problem? [21:27] joebodo_: wait no, pulseaudio gives static too [21:27] NEWK2:you could, but I wouldn't recommend it [21:27] NEWK2 , you can;t do that [21:27] NEWK2: I think you'll have to do the upgrades one by one.. not sure though [21:27] superjerm: ? [21:27] NEWK2: Ah! 6.06 is an LTS, so you can upgrade 6.06 to 8.04 (which is also an LTS), and then you can upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 [21:27] NEWK2: so, yes, of course!

The default is to disable the account. <- What package contains crypt ? [21:27] eitreach: remove the package with --purge, that erases old configs [21:27] superjerm: good, now is there a line with ' inet address'? [21:27] Even I knew that, I jsut didn't put 2 and 2 together! :D [21:27] i have chosen a screen res that my display doesnt support - how can i change it back? when i login my screen turns black [21:27] zsquareplusc: alright. thanks.

[21:28] joebodo_: I'm going to try booting with the ubuntu usb again, if sound works there then something's wrong with my config [21:28] Bad ass, because I just burnt the Ibex ISO to my last CD-R and I live 40 miles away from civilization so getting more CD-Rs is out of the question [21:28] guntbert: inet6 addr: fe80::2c0:f0ff:fe77:684e/64 Scope:Link [21:28] eitreach: hm. uninstalling might be a plain. there is probably a way to reinstall including default config [21:28] LjL, so how can I use it in a bash script ? [21:28] but I do have these old 6.06 disks lying around so that's what I'll use [21:28] FrancisN sounds like a good idea [21:28] thanks guys [21:28] I'll probably be back later for more support [21:28] milligan: you can't [21:28] guntbert looks like some bad mac address now that i see it now, not sure how to fix it though ;x [21:28] looking forward [21:29] milligan: perhaps the "mcrypt" package may provide that functionality. not sure. [21:29] Hey. [21:29] where can i find drivers for [21:29] Can ubuntu show your pc-s cpu and etc temperatures?

[21:29] mib_uvrxww: so it's listening on 8001 not 80? [21:29] Question: can I have PulseAudio's sound redirected to all terminals? [21:29] mib_uvrxww: no sorry, nonsense on my part [21:29] pr0fane: yes it can. with sensor-applet for example [21:30] mib_uvrxww: what are you typing in your browser to test the website [21:30] where can i find drives for my Intel GMA 950 [21:30] how to get senson-applet? [21:30] or how to open it [21:30] guntbert: im working with the network manager settings (the gui) and attempting to manually set the IPv4 setting...but keeps being non-responsive for me.

[21:33] Have a game on a separate terminal [21:33] Johan-UbuntuNewb: sudo fdisk -l in a terminal gives you an overview [21:33] mib_uvrxww (ikonia): this is a bit weird so i'd suggest a test, run "netcat -l -p 9876" in a terminal, and do "echo test | netcat localhost 9876" in another terminal, to ensure the loopback device is actually working [21:33] ikonia, default apt install of apache2 should work just fine unless he has made a configuration error or has some self made permissions problems on the installed dirs [21:33] How would I have the terminal have its own sound? [21:33] !terminal > Johan-UbuntuNewb: [21:33] csilk: I didn't say it wouldn't [21:33] LjL: telnet to port 80 and do a get, see if it's apache thats listening [21:34] Slart: maybe you have deleted files as root (via sudo)? [21:34] i can't put any resolution higher than that [21:34] matrix: then the "best" thing to do entirely depends on just what you want to remove, we can't decide for you.

[21:35] mib_uvrxww: well, hit ctrl+d in the second terminal [21:35] I have, same timeout [21:35] i want to have faster or normal ubuntu things are movin slowly on my ubuntu i donno just to remove this user to delet this user will my files be removed if i just remove this user or to remove files manually [21:35] mib_uvrxww: ok - so something is blocking you then [21:35] i installed sensors-applet, but i can`t open it [21:35] mib_uvrxww: in theory (although i suppose you know that) you should be seeing the word "test" in the first terminal after hitting ctrl+d in the second one [21:35] hello ? [21:35] pr0fane: how did my instructions fail to work? [21:35] iptables shows nothing... this is a basic setup... [21:36] mib_uvrxww: does "ifconfig" even list "lo"? [21:36] mib_uvrxww: sudo iptables -L [21:36] superjerm: I like it much better :), did you right-click on the nm-applet, then "edit connections"?

[21:36] mib_uvrxww: that's why i did that netcat test [21:36] JoeTheMac: just ask the question [21:36] Check. [21:36] mib_uvrxww: try "ifup lo", or failing that, "ifconfig lo up" [21:37] zsquareplusc: yup.. I've cleared those out [21:37] guntbert: yes thats where i was editing, apparently i did some other stuff earlier that put a ifupdown(eth0) on there, which i cannot now delete (says readonly). However, I'm just making another connection and manually editing that myself [21:37] Hi everybody, does anyone know how to get 'zimbra-desktop' the fault email handler?

[21:37] the default, i mean [21:37] mib_uvrxww: then if that succeeds, look at your /etc/network/interfaces. the first line *should* say "auto lo", and the second "auto lo inet loopback" [21:37] Slart: there may be .trash folders on removable drives too [21:37] @'lovre' [21:37] Bingo.... [21:38] longstone: yes? [21:38] Does anyone know a nice web page to look for ubuntu themes and change gtk engine? Already know the gnome-look... [21:38] there should be a lot of tutorials on grub in the web.

[21:38] You are all stars.. thanks very much.... argh... should have caught that myself. Thanks again all! [21:38] Slart: log out an iin again? i have no better idea..

I dont know if root(hd0,0) is right, maybe because it is on another partition [21:39] superjerm: look at your /etc/network/interfaces. the first line *should* say "auto lo", and the second "auto lo inet loopback" (just stolen from LjL :) [21:39] Thx Frogzoo ! [21:39] zsquareplusc: I've rebooted, logged in/out several times and it still says I've got 4 files in my deleted files folder...*sigh*.. well, thanks for trying =) [21:39] chrisorange2: depends on your IRC client. usually yes [21:40] qlovre: you need the uuid of your Windows partition and if it's had0 or sda, else...

When booting into the ubuntu cd for the first time, I get no video, out of range. Just wondering how I can tell ubuntu to try a different resolution without being able to actually SEE anything. [21:42] JoeTheMac: how do you have hdmi out on a mac mini ? [21:42] guntbert yes it has those two...then it goes on with "auto eth0 | iface eth0 inet dhcp | auto eth1 | auto eth2 | auto ath0 | auto wlan0" (with the | representing hard returns) [21:42] chrisorange2: hm. /me is running a different program. maybe you can do it with the /server command [21:42] JoeTheMac: mac mini's don't have hdmi out [21:42] gah, DVI [21:42] sorry [21:43] Hmm... [21:43] I cant eject my DVD disc. It seems to be between mounted and not mounted. It knows that it's a DVD but when trying to observe it it doesn't look mounted [21:43] @lovre: when you know the size of each partition you can find your windows partition as well === jacob_ is now known as Guest63114 [21:43] Can someone help me with sound troubleshooting on an Acer Aspire One?

[21:47] ok, im running intrepid and 'restricted' drivers device nodes are not showing up, thus they are not working [21:47] Gr33n3gg, i thought it was sudo apt-get upgrade-dist ? [21:47] Slart: Thanks, but I would like to see it better (mainly a cool way to simulate the login window) so I can test my GDM themes without login out [21:47] diffred, the app in the system->Admin menu called "login-screen" has previews. They're not full size, but [21:47] @lovre: with a live CD you can edit your menu.lst [21:47] shiva: installing kcontrol is an option (it might bright in a few kde dependencies though) === Jguy2 is now known as Jguy [21:47] tony_: Never know, try it. [21:47] says gparted is not installed, im using kubuntu [21:47] there was something called xnest [21:47] but I cannot install/run it [21:48] tony_: dist-upgrade not upgrade-dist [21:48] Flannel, i think we are on a UDP address or Mac addr because i don't seem to have an individual IP [21:48] LjL, what package should i install to get kcontrol? [21:48] there may be some other software [21:48] longstone: says gparted not installed, im using kde [21:48] diffred: well.. I guess you could run a virtual machine.. and log in/out as much as you want [21:48] guntbert cleaned out, just have two lines now [21:48] shiva: err... kcontrol [21:48] LjL, i installed 8.10. do I now type, sudo apt-get update and upgrade? [21:48] diffred: I don't know of any other way to see the login screen [21:48] Slart: Ok Thanks anyway :) [21:48] @lovre: doesn't matter you can run gparted under kubuntu anyway - simply install or use qparted [21:48] where can I set doubleclick on the program icon to close the window? (using Compiz) [21:48] tony_: why won't you just let the automatic upgrader to its work? [21:48] the ip i use i think is shared by the other computers that are wifi [21:48] So anyone knows a program that acts as nest X server? [21:49] well i get: No candidate version found for kcontrol [21:49] LjL, its all automoatic? and will let me know of any secuerity updates and upgrades? [21:49] superjerm: now look again into network-manager, is it better already? [21:49] dataflow: Pastebin the output of ifconfig [21:49] diffred: what is a nest x server? [21:49] guntbert disabled/enabled network connections and still get nothing. [21:49] diffred: i definitely have an "xnest" package [21:49] ok on sec [21:49] shiva: ah meh you're right, given kde3 isn't in intrepid to begin with... [21:49] diffred, xnest [21:49] LjL: how did you install it? [21:49] shiva: tried asking in #ubuntu?

[21:49] diffred: i don't have it installed, but i have it available. i'm on hardy. [21:49] Slart, you can have a desktop inside a window [21:50] diffred: never mind.. =) found the wikipedia article [21:50] thanks techII [21:50] diffred, there is an other one too [21:50] LjL, i thought this is #ubuntu :) [21:50] superjerm: type /etc/init.d/networking restart [21:50] techII: how's called? :) [21:50] shiva, uh? [21:50] shiva: He meant #kubuntu [21:50] longstone: i find out that windows partition is /dev/sda3, what now? [21:50] so, 10.10.4.24? =] how would i get my own routable IP and still have wifi working? [21:50] diffred, looking for it [21:50] techII: oh thanks! [21:50] shiva: hah whoops yeah :) #kubuntu i meant [21:50] !info xnest [21:50] how would you see my website? [21:50] xnest (source: xorg-server): Nested X server. In component main, is optional.

[21:51] longstone: i will try, be right back [21:51] techII: gnome :) [21:52] diffred, what are you trying to do? [21:52] I'm getting lots of flickering in flash player on amd64 - I know there's some special instructions but I'm not sure if they're out of date because on my system it just installed flash automatically when I visited a site [21:52] :) [21:52] How do you uninstall GRUB on a Mac Mini? After several failed attempts to get it running, I have several Linux icons that show up in rEFIt, and it's quite annoying. [21:52] diffred, run just the server? use clients from a remote machine with it? [21:52] techII: I just want to open a new window that simulates the login window so I don't need to control+alt+backspace [21:53] PeskyJ: the latest ubuntu uses flash 10.. haven't seen it flicker yet but it might just be me being lucky [21:53] I suppose nobody likes zimbra here :-( [21:53] re [21:53] techII: I remember doing it some moths ago with this programms, but cannot figure out how now [21:53] ку [21:53] guntbert i did that with default settings for dhcp in and got nothing, im going to try to manually configure the net on it and see if i get a better result [21:53] diffred, full screen? [21:53] longstone: haven't got anything against it.. haven't used it though [21:53] techII: nope [21:53] longstone: Zimbra isn't in ubuntu, however there are some people who use it in #ubuntu-offtopic [21:53] diffred: you can always open a new X session (aka "switch user"), no need to ctrl+alt+backspace or otherwise close your current session [21:53] ok [21:53] i just freshly installed ubuntu 8.10 from a live os. the default gdm theme doesn't recognize my screen resolution. it uses a much higher resolution that my hardware doesn't support. so my LCD screen shows a message box telling me to lower the software resolution. how do i fix this? [21:54] how can i test my microphone? [21:54] superjerm: a silly question: are you sure, you are physically connected? === paulj1 is now known as pauljw [21:54] techII: Yep I could do that but I remember how cool it was to open a minimized window where I can see the appearance of my login screen just running something like "xnest ..."

[21:55] my microphone doesnt work [21:55] dataflow: IIRC, edit /etc/network/interfaces [21:55] can anybody help me?

[21:57] Slart: the flickering affects games, like on onemorelevel.com or that kind of thing [21:57] Flannel, and that will let the internet see the website i've got? [21:58] dataflow: That'll let people see you on your subnet. For "the rest" of the internet, you'll need to set up your router to port forward to your server [21:58] superjerm: you're a bit too fast for me :), have a look at your ...../interfaces again [21:58] Hey Ubuntu.

[22:13] Slart: yeah, the other machine has a much lesser card and it's fine, I thought it might be because it's the 64-bit version or something like that [22:13] Dabbill-> get the liveCD rom instead [22:13] PeskyJ, (I don't know if you got my message). It worked. ;) [22:13] Saga: fantastic :) [22:13] zsquareplusc, i have alt CD and the live cd with wubi on it [22:13] how can I run MS Office on Ubuntu 8.10? [22:13] I just cursored over some music...

[22:14] zsquareplusc, nope it keeps asking to connect to the internet [22:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:14] angelo_: depends on the version, and generally speaking, yes it does [22:14] techII: not i can hear something ;) [22:14] Saga, how I install virtualbox on Ubuntu? [22:14] Dabbill: i never used wubi until now. i usually boot from the live cd and run the installer there [22:14] sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf also has 1280x1024 [22:14] angelo_: what version of Office and what version of Wine? [22:14] LjL, I tried. MS Office wont install using Wine [22:14] sorry angelo_ the only way I can imagine is if you place a virtual machine. [22:14] Slart: are you on 64-bit ubuntu too? [22:15] angelo_: so you tried ALL versions of MS Office? amazing. [22:15] but at bootup it always says 'wrong resolution' [22:15] can I set doubleclick on the program icon to close the window?

I typed wine setup.exe [22:16] I'm having a little trouble installing linux mint 5, Elyssa. I didn't see a mint channel anywhere, so I was hoping I could get a little help in #ubuntu?

[22:16] is there a dell support # on this server? [22:16] jgoguen, it starts to install but then stops. brb [22:16] Anyone else having an issue with their ubuntu theme going back to default?

[23:02] ay^: odd version numbers are development branches. they dont turn up for the wide audience [23:02] jgoguen: eth0 and lo [23:02] anyone know why i cant install ies4linux in ubuntu 8.10? HAVE to have IE for school [23:02] Every now and then, my Elbuntu (Ubuntu using Enlightenment DR17) hits a wall and crashes, defaulting to a wall of code made up of the repetitive message here: http://pastebin.com/d3ba8bca1 Is this something that is easily solved, or am I going to have to file a bug with Enlightenment? [23:02] zsquareplusc: is itbetter to run 32bit with 3GB or 64bit with 4GB ? [23:02] van: I would go with 64 bit.. [23:03] jgoguen: seems that ndiswrapper is not working or conflict with ndiskt ? [23:03] van: both will be fine, 4Gb id run 64bit for deffo [23:03] zsquareplusc: oh, dang cause I would like lm_sensors 3.0.3 but it says its for 2.6.5+ kernel :/ [23:03] joolean: do you see any packages at all in synaptic? [23:03] van, i run 64 bit. just because i can :-) [23:03] !backup > dVs-- [23:03] dVs--, please see my private message [23:03] ActionParsnip: wat is deffo? [23:03] thanks for all info guys :) [23:03] matthias_N_: do you mean ndisgtk? ndisgtk is simply a graphical tool to install Windows drivers [23:03] van: deffo == definately [23:03] jgoguen: yes [23:03] deffo = definately.. but cooler =) [23:04] hey if I installed Ubuntu through windows, what will happen if i erase windows? Will I lose ubuntu too? How can avoid that? [23:04] DCC SEND "ffɦʞɔfɟ" 0 0 0 [23:04] * van laughs [23:04] van: for 3Gb + ram, 64bit is always my choice, for less on a desktop, 32bit is fine [23:04] <^Lem^> deffo, lol.. fo shizzle [23:04] <^Lem^> Slart: how'd your download go? [23:04] jgoguen: do you have both ... [23:04] matthias_N_: it won't conflict with ndiswrapper, in fact it requires ndiswrapper to work at all [23:04] ^Lem^: almost done.. [23:04] so I have 3 virtual desktops but prefs->keyboard shortcuts only see 2 [23:04] Slart: Just checked, /etc/apt/sources.list seems to be correct. Yes, I can see some packages in synaptic, just not always the ones I would expect: E.g., doing a "quick search" for "guile" turns up "guile-1.8-libs" and NOTHING else [23:04] #brasil [23:04] when i click the applications button (i.e. the main menu in the panel) or if i hit alt-f1, then my entire X session freezes (but i can still ctrl-alt-fN) [23:04] ^Lem^: 2 minutes left [23:04] anyone have a link to any howto on setting up network managers with cell phone cards? [23:04] joolean: doy ou have universe and multiverse repositories enabled (synaptic->package sources) [23:04] Is it possible to install the ubuntu 8.10 64 BIT on a 8.04 32BIT? [23:04] jgoguen: OKEY, did you do an upgrade from internet or by cd ... [23:05] wil it be compatible [23:05] is there a way I can set compiz to be disabled when on battery power? [23:05] matthias_N_: only thing I can think of is that your card is one of the few that won't work with ndiswrapper or the new wl driver [23:05] van: you can't upgrade to a 64 bit install from a 32 bit, no [23:05] Slart: doh! [23:05] <^Lem^> Slart: sweet... is firefox reporting the right stats on the file? i didn't think to check the download progress past 2^32 bytes.. [23:05] what package contains the wallpapers? [23:05] Slart: huh, this is weird -- they're actually in the "All" filter, they just don't show up under "quick search." Okay, that's good enough for me [23:05] van: id do a clean install if you are changing installed architecture [23:05] jgoguen: okey well the wireless worked with hardy ... [23:05] at least ... [23:05] jgoguen: at least ... [23:05] lightdragon: wubi install? it creates disk images which you would need to backup [23:05] thanks. ubuntu 8.04 didn't show needing updates on my mother's computer for 78 days. I attempted to make sure the updates were all available, and found none. I then attempted upgrading to 8.10. It stalled out. I ended the upgrade and restarted. Now I keep getting the error message: There is already an x server running on display :0 and nothing I do will get past that. attempted safe mode, no avail. [23:05] matthias_N_: I upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy to Hardy to Intrepid, all during the beta cycles, and all over the Internet, but I just reinstalled Intrepid recently so I could switch to 64-bit [23:06] joolean: that seems kind of weird.. there should be several hits for "guile".. I got 20+ === Jguy2 is now known as Jguy [23:06] joolean: ah.. so problem solved? [23:06] DCC SEND "ffɦʞɔfɟ" 0 0 0 [23:06] ActionParsnip: okthanks [23:06] jgoguen: i upgrade but not in beta like you ... [23:06] so I have 3 virtual desktops but prefs->keyboard shortcuts only see 2 [23:06] ^Lem^: yes.. so far it's alright.. counting properly... [23:06] jgoguen: in what part is wlan configured, dop you knoiw ... [23:06] zsquareplusc: Thanks, I'll look into that [23:07] jgoguen: i am alstoast sure the ndoswrapper is to blame [23:07] ^Lem^: but as soon as it finished.... bad firefox.. bad bad firefox [23:07] nidfar: maybe you can complete the upgrade with apt-get dist-upgrade? === mike is now known as Guest94175 [23:07] matthias_N_: for me, it's all configured automatically, once I load the the wl driver NetworkManager takes over and it Just Works [23:07] zsquareplusc: I can't get to the desktop to do that. [23:07] jgoguen: is there an alternative to ndiswrapper ... [23:08] nidfar: you can do that at the text console [23:08] <^Lem^> Slart: ahh good, so you can confirm my report. i've never filed a bug before, should it be done, and if so, how? [23:08] i can't get to my applications menu... clicking on it freezes X [23:08] zquareplusc: the shell from the safe mode menu? [23:08] jgoguen: what is network configuration tool [23:08] ^Lem^: well.. neither have I.. I'm browsing the mozilla site atm [23:08] my WM just died but I had gedit open with an unsaved file. gedit is still running (as per ps). Is there a way I can recover what I typed and/or make gedit reappear? [23:08] matthias_N_: no, if it won't work natively try ndiswrapper...if ndiswrapper doesn't work, you're probably stuck [23:09] matthias_N_: the one almost everyone should be using is NetworkManager, it's an icon near your clock [23:09] nidfar: doesn't matter how you boot. you can get to a text mode login with ctrl+alt+F1 [23:09] jgoguen: i guess i need to reinstall from scratch [23:09] zsquareplusc: then merely type taht command to see if it works that way? [23:09] Slart: for the moment, yeah. Thanks for hand-holding. I'll poke it a little more and if it looks truly screwy I'll post something on launchpad [23:09] matthias_N_: I would suggest staying with Hardy, it's a LTS release so it'll be supported for a long time...I've heard that not all wireless works with Intrepid [23:09] fwiw, i'm using metacity, and not compiz [23:09] jgoguen: i have just the computer screens and bluetooth and the trashbin on the other side of the watvch' [23:09] 8.10 [23:10] nidfar: you can log in there and then run "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". [23:10] joolean: I don't think this one will set the world on fire.. the downloaded file seems alright.. it's probably just the text in the download manager that is wrong [23:10] joolean: but it's a bug never the less [23:10] alt-f2 works fine, and so does ctrl-alt-f1 [23:10] jgoguen: but hardy is taking all cpu power when i am watching movies ... [23:10] matthias_N_: the computer screens is the NetworkManager icon...it looks like that when you're using a cable, and it looks like 4 bars on wireless [23:10] zsquareplusc: when can I push those buttons to do that? during startup? [23:10] jgoguen: no i do not have that one ... [23:10] what is a good light weight wm for nix? [23:10] matthias_N_: what are you watching movies with? [23:10] once i have openjdk-6-doc installed on ubuntu hardy... how do i access it? [23:11] FFForever: xmonad, fluxbox [23:11] jgoguen: vlc [23:11] the same with totem player [23:11] matthias_N_: try mplayer, I use it and I don't have any problems with CPU [23:11] I want to connect external monitor to my laptop. how to send 'video out' command using the terminal? [23:11] nidfar: when it should show you the graphical login. [23:11] zsquareplusc: trying that [23:11] jgoguen: okey, well thanks for the help, but i guess i will install from cd [23:12] if i can not figure it out ... [23:12] matthias_N_: sorry I couldn't be more help [23:12] jgoguen: thanlks any way you did your best ... [23:12] owen1: you could use the preferences->screen resolution tool from the menu? [23:13] matthias_N_: if video players eat too much CPU, overlays for your graphics card/drivers may not work. [23:14] zsquareplusc: hmm thanks did notthink about that, was looking for processes that i could kill but find nothing .. [23:14] zsquareplusc: i can change the resolution from the setting section. but how to do 'video out'? btw, i use xfce, not gnome. [23:15] hi everyone i'm a new user to ubuntu. Whenever I try to download drivers using the hardware drivers application, they wont download... it just sits at zero percent.. als when i use apt-get a lot of the time stuff downloads at like 10-20k/s average... is this normal? [23:15] someone shooting outside [23:15] owen1: ah. maybe xranr and there are special tools for ati and nvidia for tv out [23:16] What's the difference between adobe-flashplugin and flashplugin-nonfree ? [23:16] RoosterJuice: that a bit slow, unless you have one of the ancient alanog modems.. [23:16] hi, kids! :D [23:16] <^Lem^> Slart: just noticed you on irc.mozilla.org .. did anyone have anything to say? [23:17] zsquareplusc: ok. i'll read xrandr man page. [23:17] anybody having issues with ubuntu and amd 64 x2 system ? [23:17] shadowwulf: yes, I have ubuntu but I don't have a 64x2 system ;) [23:17] ^Lem^: nah.. they just told me to file a bug report.. lazy bast*rds ;) [23:17] Hey, how likely is Ubuntu to work with an 802.11n card? [23:17] yes.. sorry.. language.. I'll go sit in the corner [23:17] jgoguen: sorry again but what is the name of the icon you haver with bars that i am missing, i am hoping i can install it ... [23:18] How can I remove all the extra languages to save space? [23:18] matthias_N_: the icon with the 2 computer screens will turn into an icon with bars once it's using wireless, it's the same program [23:18] well i am trying to install 32bit 8.10 but it will install just fine ... but the final screen comes up screwed up and i cant log in [23:18] matthias_N_: the name of the program is nm-applet, it's part of the network-manager-gnome package [23:18] ogre, system > administration > language support, uncheck the languages you want and hit aply [23:18] Hey, how likely is Ubuntu to work with an 802.11n card? [23:19] zsquareplusc: succesfully logged in, tried to run update and am being told "dpkg was interrupted. you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' when I do that it tells me I need super user acces to do that. [23:19] jgoguen: okey i have that one but when i go to the driver and choose to configure than i get this error that the network configuration tool is missing ... [23:19] shadowwulf, i had the same issue but i am working on a old dell so i just went with xubuntu and it rand smoothly. [23:19] <^Lem^> Slart: haha.. ok cool, thanks for your help. might get onto a bug report tonight [23:19] ^Lem^: so, do you want to report the bug and get the glory, girls and groupies? =) [23:19] How can I remove all the extra languages to save space? [23:19] nidfar: just prefix commands with "sudo" if you need to be superuser [23:19] zsquareplusc: xrandr has output parameter. do u think i can set it to the video port and it will display my screen on the external monitor instead of the default laptop monitor? [23:19] <^Lem^> Slart: yeah, in about 12-14 hours i'll do that [23:19] matthias_N_: where are you going when you get this error? [23:20] pyrohotdog, system > administration > language support, uncheck the languages you want and hit aply [23:20] ^Lem^: good luck [23:20] <^Lem^> Slart: I suspect reporting it on the mozilla bug tracker is more appropriate than in Ubuntu? [23:20] owen1: i dont knwo, i dont use that tool on a regular basis [23:20] break_free: Thank you. :) [23:20] pyrohotdog: install the "localepurge" package [23:20] zsquareplusc: oh yeah duh.... [23:20] pyrohotdog, np [23:20] How do I install new things to install to add to the top panel? [23:20] zsquareplusc: ok. thanks a lot. [23:20] system-adminstration-windows wireless drivers-configure network [23:21] matthias_N_: it may be looking for a tool that most people never need anymore === [H] is now known as {H} [23:21] Hi people -- I can't get bluetooth to work with my devices -- I'm using 8.10 -- There's some outdated -- No hidd --search and etc. [23:21] hi there! from your experience could it be possible that an apic problem causes random reboots? [23:21] jgoguen: okey just curious because i guess it is there i enable wireless ... [23:21] i dunno what else i should chack [23:21] matthias_N_: if you don't have eth1 or wlan0 showing when you run ifconfig, you won't get very far even if you didn't get that error [23:22] jgoguen: okey, will give upp and burn an cd instead and try ... [23:22] matthias_N_: no, wireless is automatically enabled once ndiswrapper module is loaded [23:22] it happens mostly when gdm greeter fires up [23:22] hi, i installed the java jdk, and can compile, but where do i find the javadoc? anyone? [23:22] Every now and then, my Elbuntu (Ubuntu using Enlightenment DR17) hits a wall and crashes, defaulting to a wall of code made up of the repetitive message here: http://pastebin.com/m7f4e1260 Is this something that is easily solved, or am I going to have to file a bug with Enlightenment? [23:22] ^Lem^: sounds reasonable.. it's a firefox bug after all.. not an ubuntu thing [23:23] i thought it was a video driver matter but i tried vesa and still not working [23:23] hey guys...I have two problems [23:23] squareplusc: did that, dpkg thing ran, once finished ran update again, got same message about dpkg [23:23] 1. File open/save dialogs load very slowly [23:23] jgoguen: ok but i have some other funny problems with nautilus, still think i have something to win ... [23:23] got my wireless working [23:23] kicco: apic has to do with interrupts and when these go wrong it could give freezez i gueess. did you try booting with noapic kernel option? [23:23] <^Lem^> Slart: ok, cheers [23:24] and 2. when I open up Thunar (just Thunar), my CPU gets eaten up by two ntfs-3g processes, but the heavy usage stops when I pkill gam_server [23:24] zsquareplusc: i tried but the result is the same... i have no clues from logs, i tried to remove ndiswrapper, added noapic, switched to vesa driver... [23:25] the only thing i found in logs is a gdm_greeter segfault [23:25] How can I configure GRUB? [23:25] can anyone help me with this?: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975478 [23:25] Right now it just boots my live CD. [23:25] jgoguen: how do i know if i use 32bit or 64bit [23:25] kicco: run memtest86? it is on the live cd, when oyu boot it... (check for bad memory) [23:25] Can I install new things to add to the top panel? [23:25] matthias_N_: it depends on your CPU...if you're not sure, use 32-bit [23:26] Could somebody lead me to the right forum link? The information for BluetoothSetup is outdated. I'm trying to get my mouse/keyboard to work. It's difficult without any bluetooth interaction. [23:26] jgoguen: i think that is best [23:26] !grub [23:26] 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 [23:26] mavsman4457: yes, you can add applets and starter icons to the panel [23:26] zsquareplusc: mmh. good idea i think, i'll try this right now [23:26] amarok won't play mp3's === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [23:27] !mp3 [23:27] 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 [23:27] squareplusc:(reposting so you don't have to search as far) did that, dpkg thing ran, once finished ran update again, got same message about dpkg [23:27] jgoguen: thanks i will try from cd instead ...

[23:28] nidfar: hm. i'm no expert there. maybe someone else can jump in.. how to fix your system from an aborted upgrade... [23:28] zsquareplusc, how do I install new applets [23:29] right click on the top bar [23:29] mavsman4457: you found out about right clicking on the panel and use "add applet"? more applets you can find by running system->synaptics and search for applets [23:31] if i just installed Ubuntu, are there any apps or anyhing that you guys recommend i get? [23:31] Snappl: what application domain? games? science (stellarium e.g.)? [23:31] Hi all. I've created a few custom packages which I've signed with debsign and then uploaded to my PPA. Can I add some key file to my Software Sources so I don't get a warning message everytime I update from my PPA? [23:31] i have a quick question, i am trying to liberate the audio from an avi file, so that i may edit a small portion of it, i understand i can demux this with ffmpeg, but am not sure how, the man page is a bit overwhelming [23:32] mp3 has no sounds (amarok/vlc) after installing libxine1-ffmpeg [23:32] cmdbbq: try audacity. recent versions should be able to import from videos [23:32] i have to say ubuntu 8.10's user online status integration with pidgin is cool [23:33] zsquareplusc: audacity is next to unusable for me === maha is now known as goacide [23:33] or it's just a marketing tool [23:33] i can only get it to run with OSS in a pulseaudio wrapper and it freezes up on almost any action [23:33] so this new 8.10 ubuntu actuall works on my laptop!!!! [23:33] great news but still [23:34] i cant connect the wifi to my ap for some reason [23:34] Xchat comes free on Linux? [23:34] swegner: synaptics->packet sources. there is a tab with lists the keys [23:34] mastrgamr: yes, Xchat is free. [23:34] cool, gotta pay on windows =9 [23:34] the application for adding a wireless connection does not have a list from whcih to choose access points [23:34] mastrgamr: most programs come free on Linux, Xchat included [23:34] i find this odd [23:34] mastrgamr: there is a free version for windows too [23:35] zsquareplusc: Yes, that's the screen I'm looking at. But which key do I add here? If I go into "Passwords and Encryption Keys", and export the public key to my PGP signature, is that what I use? [23:35] cmdbbq: i also had no sound until i selected ALSA: fromt as output. but it works without freezes otheriwse [23:35] anybody have a AMD dual core system here having or had issues running ubuntu 8.10 ? [23:35] swegner: i think so. if you used this key to sign your packages [23:35] i havent [23:36] mine will not boot to a log in screen [23:36] zsquareplusc: i had no sound under ALSA [23:36] :P [23:36] go figure [23:36] zsquareplusc: Yes, I'm fairly sure this is the one I used. I just tried adding it to the Software Sources, and it appears to have accepted it. I'll have to upload a new package to actually see if it works. Thanks for the help. [23:36] hi, i have no sound in 8.04 from my onboard sound over analog or HDMI. everything looks like it was detected and installed properly [23:37]  if i just installed Ubuntu, are there any apps or anyhing that you guys recommend i get? [23:38] cmdbbq: anyway. vlc can also transcode media files. i guess you could use it to extract audio only too [23:38] Snappl: It really depends on your needs. Is there any particular software from your old OS which you're trying to emulate? [23:38] Snappl many, how long have you got;) [23:38] not really.. [23:38] what is the location and name of the file where you can add apps to start at boot? [23:38] i'm just interested in what you guys thuink are useful programs [23:38] Home_: init.d and rc.d are what you're after [23:38] All i've got is Wine, because i came form windows.. [23:38] Snappl: what windows programs did you use a lot? [23:38] tonsxchat, thanks :) [23:38] vlc is a great media player, abiword is a lightly featured but extremely quick word processor [23:39] pangloss: you here? === Home_ is now known as voox [23:39] Home_: read the manpages though === voox is now known as voox_x [23:39] Snappl: well, like I said, it depends on your needs and what you're used it. For example, I always install the application launch gnome-do, which is similar to Launchy for Windows. [23:39] Can the ubuntu live CD's write to an existing NTFS partition ootb, or does it require remounting those partitions as rw? [23:39] pangloss: I added you to the bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/296045 [23:39] well, i need to know about getting Itunes... And that's about it.. [23:39] i'll look into VLC, but i needs my ipod support [23:39] banshee [23:40] i think thats a itune clone [23:40] Snappl: just browsing through the forums, or Applications>Add/Remove Programs [23:40] could give you a place to start [23:40] Hello folks. I'm brand new to Ubuntu and would really appreciate some help regarding a technical issue. [23:40] mm hmm [23:40] !ask [23:40] 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. :-) [23:40] i have a problem, need help. [23:40] pangloss: thanks for all your help. That last link you sent didn't help. In that instance his/her eth interface atleast showed up in ifconfig. For me it doesn't. [23:41] rhythmbox, installed by default, should handle your iPod, there is a plugin which you can find in the edit menu [23:41] charles, Just ask your question, since it's a busy channel. If someone can help they probably will. =) [23:41] I've just installed 8.10 on one of my machines. I can see my external network drive and I can open the root directory of it but as soon as I try to open a folder on it, it kicks me out and send me to my /home directory on my local machine [23:42] whenever i attempt to open Home Folder, it wont open and nothing else will. all objects on the desktop disappear. [23:42] anyone know why Anjuta will compile, but won't run execute program? [23:42] can anybody tell me why i cant use ubuntu 8.10 on my AMD64 dualcore ? i have a boot screen that looks scrambled ... and if i do get to the desktop it is blank or black and have no icons [23:42] I have another machine running 8.04 and it works perfectly. [23:42] Hi, i've run lockfile-remove in some file that was blocking my apt-get calls. Now my systeem won't boot neither shutdown. The leds never turn off. Anyone has a clue? === ogre is now known as pyrohotdog [23:43] charles: oh strange... is this using NFS or Samba? It sounds like a permission problem at first glance. [23:43] jseamus: sounds like nautils us crashing.. [23:43] I can access all the shared resources on my winidows machines. It's just the external drive that's giving me an issue [23:43] Is it possible to connect to two wireless networks at once? Via onboard wireless, and usb wireless? [23:43] zsquareplusc: how do i fix it? [23:43] I beleive it's using Samba. [23:43] Hello all... hoping a command line / background process guru is waiting out there to help me :-D [23:44] hey guys, if I want to program in c what should I install? ( I just need gcc and vim) [23:44] Interestingly, I can access it as an ftp but not smb [23:44] I keep needing to reboot my machine to be able to ssh or ftp (web front end works just fine all the time but external access keeps getting denied) [23:44] How do I disable modelines? I don't have a single idea wtf they are comming from, this bulletproof-x without a conf setup sucks. [23:45] Any thoughts? [23:45] jseamus: thats a different problem... maybe you can find a bug report on launchpad.net regarding nautilus that is similar to your problem [23:45] When you say it kicks you out, how are you accessing it then? [23:45] charles: [23:45] yes winferno? [23:45] zsquareplusc: thnx. ciao. [23:46] hi [23:46] i have ubuntu 8.10, how do i upgrade wine to the newest version (my acual ver. is 1.01) [23:46] How could I find a chatroom which focuses on just mysql??? [23:46] I can go to network, I can see the extrnal drive, and I can open it. I then see the public folder (the only folder in the root directory) but I can't open that folder. [23:47] anyone know where I could look besides /etc/hosts.deny? [23:47] charles, install samba [23:47] jkinney, iptables? [23:47] when I repeatedly can't access my machine without rebooting it [23:47] anybody that can help me with AMD64 issues ? [23:47] winferno: It's installed and seems to be working flawlessly to access all my other windows machines. [23:47] TiMiDo: I don't have iptables installed... though I did at one point [23:47] shadowwulf, #ubuntu-amd64 [23:47] zsquareplusc: Thanks again... this seems to answer my dilemma! [23:47] hello [23:47] !anyone | shadowwulf [23:47] shadowwulf: 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? [23:48] TiMiDo: I also had denyhosts installed but that is no longer insatlled either [23:48] jkinney, try looking around. something like iptables [23:48] charles: I'd double check the permission settings. I forget where samba looks for that though. [23:48] winferno: As i say, I can see the root directory, just can't go deeper than that [23:48] TiMiDo: but clearly something is remaining from either one of those IDS's that is causing probs [23:48] Can I connect to two wireless networks simultaneously with my onboard card and usb adapter? [23:48] how reliable is memtest? [23:48] TiMiDo, shadowwulf: That channel doesn't exist. This is the proper channel. [23:48] charles: can you read or write from the root that you have mounted on the remote machine? [23:48] colton: ##mysql [23:48] TiMiDo: I know that iptables can prevent my access (As can hosts.deny) but as I've said, neither of those are currently the root cause [23:48] okey Flannel [23:49] would someone be able to help me get pidging running? i tried to start it, but nothing happens [23:49] TiMiDo: a search for iptables (locate iptables) or or [23:49] is there a way to make apt-get get all the dependencies before it gets the app [23:49] TiMiDo: or a which iptables yields nothing [23:49] kicco: it did not find bugy RAM on the other box that was crashing... while load tests such as prime95 found ram problems [23:49] i tried both running Pidgin from the icon and from the terminal, and nothing :( [23:49] jkinney: ic. [23:49] winferno: there's the smb.conf file. I've run a conparison between that file in 8.10 and the same file in 8.04 and there doesn't seem to b a difference. [23:49] pyrohotdog: I don't see why not, but I dunno if the GUI tools support that. If you're just using iwconfig to set up the wireless cards it should work fine. [23:49] jkinney: have you check youre router firewall perhaps? [23:49] can somebody help me with amd64 issues in 8.10 .. i can boot live CD .. but when installed will not make it to the log in screen [23:49] #mysql [23:50] mysql [23:50] TiMiDo: like an external hardware router or firewall? [23:50] I don't get it, is it magic? [23:50] right jkinney [23:50] does vim-common contain the normal vim? [23:50] winferno: I agree that it looks like a permission issue but I'm at a loss on how to correct it. [23:50] shadowwulf: don't use the amd64 version unless you can ask a question that doesn't suck. [23:50] augie: yeah [23:50] do I just type mysql? [23:50] TiMiDo: yea, that wouldn't be it since I have several other machines behind the same PIX that don't exibit the prob [23:50] zsquareplusc: you are everywhere! tnx. this f#@$r hangs randomly even when booting from a liveCD [23:50] TiMiDo, ok, do I install build-essential to get gcc? [23:50] /join #mysql [23:50] charles: you might want to search smb.conf for any occurances of a machine name or IP. It might be allowing only the other machine you *can* access the share from. [23:51] augie: sudo apt-get install gcc [23:51] winferno: Can I read or write.... ? I'll try. [23:51] it is still not obvious how to change workspace number in ubuntu [23:51] TiMiDo: They all have the same ports opeoned and we don't do any blocking (at least dynamically) at the firewall level [23:51] well i am using a 32bit OS on a amd64 ... how else should ask a sucky question then ? [23:51] how ? === qbmaniac is now known as qb|cafe [23:51] jkinney: but double check. [23:51] charles: I ask because if you can, I'd say you can more or less rule out a network problem. [23:51] winferno: okay. I'll look for that. [23:51] shadowwulf: so, use a 32bit os on an amd64. [23:51] i did and i get the same thing [23:51] [1425558.800453] tun: Universal TUN/TAP device driver, 1.6 [23:51] But I have no tun0 [23:51] [23:52] TiMiDo: It just doesn't make sense to be anything but a sofware issue with my ubuntu. How else would rebooting the machine allow me to re-connect with everything else being exactly the same time [23:52] does anyone know why firefox performs so poorly on ubuntu? [23:52] shadowwulf: That's likely not a processor issue at all. Likely graphics card related. [23:52] jkinney: try rebooting. [23:52] Hey guys, so I upgraded to intrepid. The problem is, on the GDM login screen, I can hear the drum sound clearly, but within Gnome, no sound works. Any ideas? [23:52] TiMiDo: And I don't have admin access to our PIX to check anyway :-) [23:52] abizmol: you also need to run a command line tool to install tun devices [23:52] shadowwulf: What I'm trying to get it, as "doesn't work" is never going to help you make it work. [23:52] TiMiDo: rebooting what? [23:52] jkinney: youre machine [23:52] So I put "$ping 'address'" in the console and still, after 5 minutes, it is still pinging. how do I stop it? [23:52] TiMiDo: rebooting my ubuntu machine lets me back in as I've said [23:52] zsquareplusc, I'm using tunctl. But it only seems to create tap devices. Which one do I need to use? [23:53] how i i find that out ? it seems 8.04 works fine .. and when i did upgrade ... it failed to run ...... [23:53] i'm not talking about the ipv6 thing, I always turn that off--but rendering speeds in general (like scrolling a page) are just way slower than on my windows box [23:53] TiMiDo: but then after a few hours like 8 or so it locks me out and required another reboot [23:53] colton: CTRL+C [23:53] colton: CRTL+C [23:53] shadowwulf: What EvanCarroll means to say is the you weren't very specific about describing your problem. [23:53] =] [23:53] dehihi [23:53] TiMiDo: and during that time I've had zero failed login attempts [23:53] TiMiDo: my hosts.deny is free and clear [23:53] TiMiDo: I just don't know where else to check [23:53] colton: Instead try ping -c 3 address It'll only run three times [23:53] hey guys [23:53] TiMiDo: I looked through the cron folders and jobs and didn't see anything, though I didn't really know what I was looking for [23:53] winferno: I can't write to the root directory of the external drive. I get an error saying "not supported by backend" [23:53] Hey guys, so I upgraded to intrepid. The problem is, on the GDM login screen, I can hear the drum sound clearly, but within Gnome, no sound works. Any ideas? [23:54] TiMiDo, I just installed build-essential and it has more than what I need, thx [23:54] ok, i have a 32bit OS that works in Live CD, but when installed goes to a scrambled screen and i can not log in [23:54] abizmol: that is it. i think that should create tun0 etc devices [23:54] register sidisok [23:54] I'm afraid that due to extranious circumstances (that is, I set the hot key ctrl-c to a different function) that is not going to work. What else could I do? [23:54] cylux: volume? [23:54] zsquareplusc, It doesn't. Hence the problem [23:54] how do i bott ubuntu right off my memory stick without actually having to install it on my PC ? [23:54] So i can see the root directory but can't do anything with it. [23:54] kicco: Up [23:54] boot* [23:54] also, it always hovers around 20% cpu usage, even when doing nothing [23:54] cylux: tried alsamixer from terminal? [23:54] colton: kill -sigint in an other shell [23:54] kicco: I haven't good call. [23:55] so yeah, it definitely feels like firefox is a second-class citizen on linux [23:55] kicco: alsamixer doesn't even work. It's all blue [23:55] I need help with a setup, I am creating three parts, I don't know for sure what settings t6o use for them [23:55] which ubuntu version should i get in order to boot directly off my Memory Stick ?? [23:55] TiMiDo: Any other thoughts as to where I could look that relates to sshd or ftp that would cause me to not be able to connect? [23:55] which ubuntu version should i get in order to boot directly off my Memory Stick ?? [23:55] cylux: mmh... that's weird [23:55] which ubuntu version should i get in order to boot directly off my Memory Stick ?? [23:55] SnelGids: stop spamming [23:56] TiMiDo: The weird thing is that my webapps that are being served with ubuntu are still live and fine when i'm denied access (maybe not weird, but interesting to note) [23:56] aren't you guys suppose to help ?? [23:56] plusc [23:56] SnelGids: the desktop live cd has a installer that can create bootable USB sticks [23:56] again, if anyone knows why firefox performs so bad, I would love to know [23:56] !enter | SnelGids [23:56] SnelGids: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:56] !attitude | SnelGids [23:56] SnelGids: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [23:56] desktop live ? === Kabaka is now known as Kabaka[A] [23:56] because as it stands right now, my vista box at work smokes it [23:56] SnelGids: just dont post your question 3 times in 10 seconds. we will try to help [23:56] cylux: from terminal try to give "cat /bin/bash > /dev/dsp" (stop with CTRL+C) you should hear some awful sounds [23:56] So, I see that apt-cache has an -installed flag, but what about showing packages that are not installed? [23:56] and that is just wrong [23:56] charles: you may want to set up another share on the same machine that's not on an external drive, in a low-risk directory, then turn off all security on the share (there are some examples in smb.conf), and see if that works. If it does, you can work backward from there. [23:57] kicco: bash: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy [23:57] charles: and by low risk I mean, no important files there. [23:57] oh, I should also mention that my hardware is pretty good too, this is best box I have [23:57] cylux: what says "fuser /dev/dsp"? [23:58] i have a 32bit OS that works in Live CD, but when installed goes to a scrambled screen and i can not log in, any ideas ? [23:58] zsquareplusc , ljl at the ubuntu site i see Desktop Edition only [23:58] kicco: Nothing comes up, is it a permissions issue? [23:58] hello world! [23:58] dev tools are not listed on the add remove tag so I'm trying to use apt-get. But I need to know the name of the packages. Right now I'm looking for the X11 dev package that contains (among other things) Xos.h. Does anyone know the package name? [23:58] SnelGids: the desaktop live cd is the normal CD that most users get. boot it on a PC. then you can go to system->admin->create usb disk [23:58] SnelGids: yes, that is the right one [23:58] hey all. anyone know how to get ies4linux working in ubuntu 8.10? installer crashes on me everytime [23:58] I still don't understand how to pick a different chat room to ask my questions in. [23:58] is there a place where these chatrooms are listed? [23:59] colton: type "/join #channel" . /list lists all of them [23:59] zswuarepplusc, am currently running windows XP [23:59] cylux: maybe... dunno which group is allowed to use audio, you maybe should check this [23:59] colton: usually there is also a menu where oyu can select channels with filters [23:59] hi, How can I configure the mouse to one single click for gnome programs (I am using kde)? Do a need to edit a config file or install a config program? [23:59] must i install the ubuntu to be able to make a memory stick ?
