[00:33] im not sure [00:33] neko-: aptitude remembers packages that got installed as a dependency [00:33] distr-upgrade [00:34] scott_ i dont remember if i had to boot or not [00:34] Hello why i can't connect on my aMSN, can somebody help me please? [00:34] joebodo: but i reboot and it hasn't installed [00:34] jrib: cool, thanks. [00:34] noksious, try resseting your internet connectoin [00:34] take it off of dhcp, and then place it back on [00:34] Shane7x, i tried, but still i can't connect.. :| [00:34] bonhoffer, you'll have to manually go through your /etc/apt/sources.list and change every occurence of hardy to intrepid [00:34] or reset your router [00:34] im assuming your using a router [00:34] dude i tried [00:34] ah [00:34] nothing works :| [00:35] im not sure then [00:35] reinstall? [00:35] Shane7x: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:35] Does anyone know if the repos have a folding@home package or if I'll have to compile from source? [00:35] joebodo: i click on it again, and it searches again, pretends to install again, and gives me the same message [00:35] scott_ try glxinfo | head -5 ... see if direct rendering is yes === goacide is now known as UJustGotAids [00:35] i have an ati rage IIC pci 4mb vcard....what is the max resolution i can do in 32bit [00:35] usser_, that is the only way or the best way?

NFS mounting is NOT the problem here. indeed the problem is, ... [00:36] is it not showing the top bar? [00:36] ... amarok does loads of I/O on the files it is using, wich noticeably slows my system because everything goes via network. is there a more efficient way to bring amarok to files on another computer in network? or a more efficient, but nevertheless luxourious way (like amarok is =) for listening tu music via network? [00:36] AlanBShepard70: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/category/folding/ [00:36] and im assuming when you right click it flashes [00:36] Dominik1 try firefox -save-mode [00:36] Shane7x: it is not showing top bar or content [00:36] Dominik1 then uninstall your theme [00:36] hmm [00:36] exit out of it [00:36] then hold alt and press f2 [00:36] are you using compiz? [00:36] or xfce standard [00:36] joebodo: it gave me a BadRequest -- probably because i've installed the hardy version of xorg [00:36] Shane7x: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:46] what is CPU throttling [00:46] and how can i disable/enable it [00:46] not seeing my home network . . . erratic [00:46] array.org shows eeepc 1000/1000H/1000HD as working [00:46] not seeing the wireless -- or able to connect to wireless [00:47] bonhoffer: that is very strange and you have an ee 900? [00:47] With a modified kernel? [00:47] 1000h [00:47] bonhoffer youll probably need to connect wired, update the kernel, then everything should work [00:47] neil_d, I mean where are the crontab configuration files stored at [00:47] joebodo, i agree [00:47] how do i get the window titlebars all black on white?

[01:06] easy cam will recognize the cam, or should anyways [01:06] Ubuntu doesn't though. [01:06] DasEi: I've managed to get it to boot up and give me a shell [01:06] thats where easy cam comes in lichig [01:06] Hilton account for what ? [01:06] It doesn't show up in the Device Manager. [01:07] where might I find the mount point for a sd card reader? like /dev/? [01:07] gimme a sec [01:07] I just opened an Obj-C file in the Text Editor, and now regular C files do not display properly. How might I fix this? (Setting the source type does not work) [01:07] joebodo: Kids. :) [01:07] tommorris:then sudo update /grade it again === Crazyguy_ is now known as Crazyguy [01:07] tommorris:busybox or shell ?

[01:07] I need help configuring GRUB. Is /dev/sda4 going to be the same thing as (hd0,4)? [01:07] I've setup a do-nothing-but-games-or-internet account (with many restrictions in Firefox), but it needs to have no password so all they have to do is click the Kids account. [01:07] DasEi: the grub menu lists 2.6.27-7 and 2.6.24-19 and -21 [01:08] hey is xp+ ubuntu any different with 8.10? [01:08] why did all my firefox toolbar buttons disspear after upgrading to new ubuntu ? [01:08] Hilton i dont believe that's possible, but you could bypass the login screen completely - it's set in sessions i believe [01:08] just install xp, then ubuntu? [01:08] and it works? [01:08] Hilton: interesting question [01:08] d0nets, yes [01:08] pangloss: The default one, labeled "Text Editor" in the applications menu. It doesn't display properly as in it is still stuck as the Obj-C highlighting style. [01:08] lichig.... i dont know what you should do... [01:08] firewall on ubuntu, how do i access it? [01:08] What is the difference for .m4a, .flac , .oga , .wav , and .spx??? This is for sound recorder. [01:08] it didnt show up in grub last time we trired [01:08] Cluber: The force. [01:08] Cluber, iptables [01:08] were going to try again [01:08] tommorris:so its hardy and ibex, which one you lost ? [01:08] joebodo: It apparently used to be - there are many sets of instructions for doing it - but most are from 2005/2006 and don't seem to work now (or perhaps just don't work in the GUI login screen) [01:08] What is the difference for .m4a, .flac , .oga , .wav , and .spx??? This is for sound recorder. [01:08] can you assign a blank password? [01:08] !firewall | Cluber [01:08] Cluber: 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). [01:08] What is the difference for .m4a, .flac , .oga , .wav , and .spx??? This is for sound recorder. [01:08] are there any issues with ati vid drivers in 8.10? [01:08] <__mikem> I need help. Every time I move my mouse around the top of a window, the window redraws itself incorrectly [01:08] R0b0t1: have you closed all windows and then opened the .c file again? [01:08] hello [01:08] ubottu > microphone [01:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about microphone [01:08] DasEi: I managed to boot it by choosing 2.6.24-21 - but if I choose 2.6.27-7 or 27-7 recovery, then when I got to login I just Ctrl+Alt+F1 one into shell [01:09] pangloss: Yes.

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [01:09] R0b0t1: hm. idk, but you could always install eclipse or some other actual dev. tool and it will work [01:09] Hilton: as root you can set an users password to the empty string [01:09] Hello. I am curious which desktop envrionment I should get for Ubuntu. I have a computer that can handle any of the, but I would personally like the fastest, most stable, and most secure one. I heard that Xfce might be for me, but also that Xfce may lack or poorly run some GNOME/KDE programs...what would people advise? Thanks! [01:09] joebodo: This is a family PC. Everyone has their own account.

[01:09] Guest....... sudo apt-get easycam in terminal [01:10] Hilton oh ok [01:10] i think [01:10] tommorris:can't boot in recovery ibex, then choose drop to root shell ? [01:10] renec, lxde [01:10] zsquareplusc: And how would I do that when it's impossible to login as root? :P Or would a 'sudo bash' do the job? [01:10] how do i install xmms? [01:10] FFForever, you dont [01:10] FFForever, use audacious [01:10] !xmms | FFForever [01:10] FFForever: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [01:10] Hilton: to get a root shell do "sudo -i" or for single commands "sudo passwd..." [01:10] bazhang, hmmm...never heard of that. Googling... [01:11] !best | renec [01:11] renec: 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. [01:11] When configuring GRUB, would (hd0,4) be the same thing as /dev/sda4? [01:11] Maybe there is something wrong with my Eye Toy, I couldn't get it to work in Windows with the hack... [01:11] !offtopic | renec [01:11] renec: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:11] DasEi: if I choose either of the Ibex from the list, I can't get as far as a shell because I get a Kernel panic [01:11] m'kay. So I can set the empty string that way, then? Excellent... now to figure out how to make GRUB offer Windows XP up for boot. [01:11] spolvid: nope [01:11] I'll test it on my PS2 [01:11] DasEi: So what should I set it to then? [01:11] !grub | Hilton [01:11] Hilton: 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 [01:11] spolvid: i thing grub is one off. it uses zero based numbering while linux partitions start at 1 [01:12] I've put an entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst as instructed online, but when I try to boot into it I get 'invalid executable' or something like that. [01:12] I'm thinking I put the wrong hdd in...but I don't think so. [01:12] spolvid: , (hd0,4) would be the same thing as /dev/sda5 [01:12] alright... network problems... eth0 will not connect plugged directly in switch === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [01:12] Hilton: usually, wondows is booted by "chainloading" the windows bootloader [01:12] voconohlinux, what does sudo dhclient eth0 return (do NOT paste here) [01:13] bazhang, ardchoille...the problem is not only with flv....but also with avi.....hey i had the movies...just a few days back wen i watched them...they wer alright....but since the problem has started it appears in that way...before it was fine...so its not problem with the videos....maybe some package....i also downloaded yesterday obama's speech from youtube....wen i watch it on the youtube site..it appears fyn....but wen i downloaded nd watched it... [01:13] .it..the problem is still ther [01:13] DasEi: So if I want to get to /dev/sda4, the default GRUB root drive should be (hd0,3). [01:13] tommorris:you installed both as dualboot with separate partis ? [01:13] DarkKnight, try miro; flv will never look good with any player [01:13] spolvid: , yup, assuming its only one drive or the right one is chosen [01:13] DasEi: Right? [01:14] DarkKnight: please don't do that, it isn't necessary to hilight people every few minutes [01:14] DasEi: Ok, thanks. [01:14] DasEi: nope, the Grub menu offers me a choice of which kernel I want to boot. If I choose 2.6.27-7 (the default), it panics [01:14] ardchoille;;; sorry then..... [01:14] bazhang no working leases in persistent database [01:14] zsquareplusc: There is a "chainloader +1" line... but like I said, I think I set the wrong drive in the 'root' line. I'll look into it when I can get on the computer again. [01:14] if I choose 24-21 or 24-19, it boots. [01:15] BBL. [01:15] voconohlinux, is this through a router or straight to the dsl modem [01:15] ardchoille;;; i deidnt mean to...i thought maybe even u could help me.. [01:15] tommorris:how did you install ibex after having hardy ? [01:15] through a router [01:15] i get dhcp address on wlan0 [01:15] voconohlinux, did you boot with ethernet attached [01:15] DarkKnight: I don't use sound or video on any of my machines [01:15] no... is that the whole problem [01:15] DasEi: initialy using the menu in GNOME. somehow X crashed in the middle of it, so I restarted my box, and finished it up using update manager from the shell [01:15] voconohlinux, and you are already using wireless? [01:16] yes [01:16] I was just in the middle of a conversation on Skype when I noticed my time was off from back home. I downloaded the NTP update via the clock and all of a sudden my inboard mic stopped working. [01:16] no wonder [01:16] what? [01:16] ardchoille;; not necessary..but if u know how to solve the problem...then u cn./// [01:16] im trying to install ubuntu on an old laptop, i get an error. (Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0, what can I do to continue [01:16] DarkKnight, get miro [01:16] tommorris:so it was a dist-upgrade and no additional install from own ibex cd ? [01:16] DarkKnight, your video card and flv will never make video look very good. [01:17] what do i have to do to get wlan0 and eth0 to work at same time [01:17] bazhang..yes it ther in the repos...i m downloading it.... [01:17] droopsta915 fd0 - floppy ? maybe disable floppy in bios [01:17] droopsta915: unless you're using the floppy try disabling it in the bios [01:17] I just opened an Obj-C file in the Text Editor, and now regular C files do not display properly. How might I fix this? (Setting the source type does not work) pangloss: The default one, labeled "Text Editor" in the applications menu. It doesn't display properly as in it is still stuck as the Obj-C highlighting style. [01:17] DarkKnight, miro is the best you can do if you download flv; please dont repeat every two minutes. [01:17] Hello [01:17] voconohlinux, from two different isp's? [01:17] I've just booted on the .24 option on GRUB - gdb is not accepting any keyboard input, so I Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login at shell. nothing beyond the basics work though [01:18] no, same isp [01:18] R0b0t1: the application is called "gedit" but i cant help you any further on that topic [01:18] R0b0t1: Use vim! [01:18] voconohlinux, then you cant [01:18] bazhang...but i think.u didnt get wat i said......i said that the videos which i saw a few days back wer alright...but wen i watch the same videos now...the problem makes me unable 2 watch them [01:18] tommorris: XD [01:18] !who|tommorris [01:18] tommorris: 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 :) [01:18] using the private file system is there a way to make it not automaticaly mount the "private" partition? [01:18] tommorris:so it was a dist-upgrade and no additional install from own ibex, please answer this quest [01:19] DarkKnight, I know the problem; I have given you a solution-->that intel integrated video card is just not that good. [01:19] DasEi: yeah, just the dist-upgrade [01:19] i have an HP laptop. How can I get the onboard ATI video drivers installed? [01:19] R0b0t1: open text editor, then View>>Highlight Mode>>sources [01:19] pangloss: I've tried it but it never worked :( [01:19] hello [01:19] Eric2: you're talking about encryptfs? did you run encryptfs-setup-private [01:19] tony have you tried system->administration->hardware drivers ? [01:19] ufff. grub gives me error 15 after a semi/broken installation... is "reinstall!" the right answer? [01:20] pangloss: Even going to none and then back to C doesn't work. [01:20] tony_ have you tried system->administration->hardware drivers ? [01:20] every file has been copied, ubuquity hanged while checking for security upgrades [01:20] i am running 8.04 and i have not been able to get sound working. when the computer is booting up i can hear an audible hiss from my speakers like sound is enabled for a short while during the boot process, but then dead silence when GDM starts up, and no amount of messing in system>preferences>sound has any results [01:20] kicco, fix grub [01:20] kicco: probably the easiest. but oyu can also boot live cd and reinstall grub on your hard drive [01:20] yes but once i log in there is always the private partition symbol on my desktop [01:20] joebodo, it only says wireless in system->administration->hardware drivers! nothing about video drivers [01:20] tommorris:I'm not sure if a chroot from hardy (as they use the same / work then, I think you'll got to use the ibex installer cd and then use this for a repair - update/rebuild initramfs and update/grade from a chroot hell [01:20] !grub | kicco [01:20] R0b0t1: does the file end in .cpp ?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:20] pangloss: No, just .c [01:20] How do I figure out what package the clock just installed? Maybe it is some conflict with that package. I would rather manually update my clock and be able to call home. [01:21] "you need a java-enabled browser" how do i get a firefox java-enabled? [01:21] I'm trying to get WoW working with wine. I managed to get it working fine, but the mouse cursor doesn't show up, anyone have this issue? [01:21] kicco, use Super Grub CD [01:21] DasEi: I feared that would be the problem. The machine is a netbook without a CD drive.

May not work exactly as it should in 64bit [01:21] Eric2: so its mounted automatically. as mounts usually appear as icon on the desktop [01:21] 7exit [01:21] joebodo, ok [01:21] tommorris:o o [01:21] kicco, lol :) [01:21] R0b0t1: i don't have 64bit. [01:21] yes [01:21] pangloss: I do, however, I occasionally find use for the gedit. [01:21] CheesyWeasel: Then it will work fine :) [01:22] anyway i can not have it auto mount?

Use bootcamp and act like you would install windows, but installUbuntu.

[02:39] Dominik1, Stormx2 already told you whats the first line, 1.-open gedit or another text editor, 2.- put "#!/bin/bash" in the first line (without the quotes), 3.-put your command in the second line [02:39] aptitude? [02:39] nite_johnboy, yes. [02:40] Well is there any type of game maker for ubuntu? [02:40] chuy: I'll try to see what happened [02:40] apt-get? [02:40] wos: Both work. [02:40] francesco__ i dont experience the same issue - i use the default pdf viewer in ubuntu without problem (with large files) [02:40] DVA5912: Game maker? [02:40] there's any way to automatically reconfigure the audio settings? [02:40] wos: Those are "clients" but they still use apt under the hood [02:40] Dominik1, save the file, if you are comfortable with terminal, run chmod +x name_of_file [02:40] wos: apt-get seems to be used for most simple stuff. [02:40] Stormx2: how do you find out which one you have? [02:40] pangloss, for Ubuntu!!! [02:40] joebodo can i PM you? I tried instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI but the second instruction is giving me an error [02:40] how do you find out which one you have? [02:41] wos: Ubuntu installations have both apt-get and aptitude installed. [02:41] Ok i have some hardware questions I am running windows atm and want to do the switch to linux but i have seen on some good searchs that my laptop has linux issues (Dell Inspirion 1525 none webcam Version) is there any were i can find hardware support [02:41] DVA5912: are you a programmer...? [02:41] Dominik1, otherwise, right click the file, and look for permissions, and click on execute permissions [02:41] Can anyone help me to get my realtek ralink usb wireless card to work in intrepid ibex? [02:41] pangloss, novice [02:41] Stormx2: I thought so - could not remember for sure - Thank you... [02:41] jutt sure [02:41] wos: you should have both aptitude and apt-get, but you should stick with one or the other so as not to get confused with commands [02:41] is gnome really configurable, for example changing the windows UI behaviour etc. - more than what's just in the system->preferences->windows tool? [02:41] Guys is there a way to have a separate version of Flash for another browser? [02:42] Rev: I just crashed AGAIN [02:42] Sony Vaio VGZ-FZ240E... any guesses which layout best matches my keyboard? http://pastebin.com/m5c1879cd [02:42] PeskyJ, yep, but it's more "Hidden" than in KDE, or so the argument goes. [02:42] DVA5912: alot of game are written in hard core programming languages.... I dont think you know what you are getting into.. [02:42] saleel: flash is a plugin so I don't see why not... [02:42] saleel: well you could if you have no problems with dependencies. [02:42] possible to shut down the computer when Transmission finished downloads? [02:42] Stormx2: how do I run the tool or maul with it? [02:42] pangloss, lol at "hard core" [02:42] Can anyone help me to get my realtek ralink usb wireless card to work in intrepid ibex? [02:42] PeskyJ & TiMiDo how would I go about doing this? [02:42] ?? [02:42] PeskyJ, I have no idea what you just said [02:42] !repeat | thiefness [02:42] thiefness: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [02:42] PeskyJ, System - Preferences - Appearance [02:42] chuy: I did it, but it did not work :(, no error message, nothing, just not the desired result [02:42] gregor_-> yes its possible, even before it finishes [02:42] pangloss, probably not. But since it needs to be a big game it might as well be written in code. Got any good IDE in mind? [02:43] Eulalia, yeah i saw it [02:43] then im sorry i have no idea [02:43] it wasn't that quickly, chill out [02:43] Dominik1, are you comfortable with console? [02:43] Stormx2: eclipse [02:43] post on a forum [02:43] pangloss, what about eclipse? [02:43] chuy: the file won't execute because in order to use sudo it needs a password [02:43] Eulalia, i gotta go to the mass, good luck with your problem, ye [02:43] chuy: I've been through all the preferences... I want more behaviour changes than are presented in those tools, how do I get to the "hidden ones" ? [02:43] M'kay. Thanks Rev. [02:43] Stormx2: its an IDE... [02:43] pangloss, I know. [02:43] pangloss, what's your point? [02:43] Stormx2: he asked if I knew any IDE's [02:43] was my question too long ??? [02:43] Stormx2: how do I find these hidden features is what I meant [02:44] possible to shut down the computer when Transmission finished downloads? [02:44] PeskyJ: No idea. [02:44] PeskyJ: gconf-editor? [02:44] Dominik1, don't use sudo then, use gksudo instead, sudo works only if you are in a terminal, gksudo launches a dialog that asks you for the password [02:44] PeskyJ: run "gconf-editor" and go to apps/metacity , there are some "hidden" tweaks there [02:44] Dominik1: I went through with you TWICE that you need to substitute sudo for gksu. [02:45] Stormx2: I made the substitution but it will not work [02:45] Dominik1, gksudo is the same as gksu [02:45] saleel: ardchoille: aha, thanks :) I'm new to X so don't know about such commands :) [02:45] ???? [02:45] Dominik1, please pastebin the contents of the file.

I'd have gone with C or C++ maybe. [02:47] Stormx2: it says Gtk-WARNING **: unable to loacate theme engine in module_ath: "ubuntulooks" [02:47] ok i think sudo does more harm than good [02:47] <|Zippo|> somebody knows how to solve rsync's problem on intrepid?

[02:48] ardchoille: looks like there's some good stuff in there - why it can't be accessible from the GUI with an "advanced" button or something I don't know [02:48] Stormx2: but thats all it does when I run the file from the terminal, it puts that out and then does nothing, I can't even type in new commands [02:48] <|Zippo|> chupacabra: do you speak portuguese? [02:48] chuy, Dominik1 wants something graphical like Game Maker for ubuntu. [02:48] Is uppose blender doesnt count right [02:48] Dominik1, for the second time, can you pastebin the contents of the file you created.

[02:52] rsvp, pangloss is not a bot afaik :) [02:52] rsvp: neg [02:52] what email client should I use, I'm quite the noob, and I've only ever used thunderbird on windows [02:52] Dominik1, prepend is the opposite of append [02:52] Does anyone use Amarok for gapless playback? About 95% of my files require gapless and they are not ogg or flac encoded. I saw a tip to turn on the cross-fader to 400ms but that does not help [02:52] so does anyone here have a GPEN200N from iogear [02:52] augie_: that's fine you can use Thundebird in Linux [02:52] im helping installs over irc [02:52] @augie Thunderbird is just fine under Linux too [02:52] chuy: sorry for english, so I write gksudo echo 1 | tee .... [02:52] Dominik, instead of echo blabla| gksu blabla, you do gksu echo blabla | blabla [02:52] augie_, thunderbird works perfect on linux too! Otherwise I might suggest evolution [02:53] you guys type so fast like a bot [02:53] ok thx [02:53] Dominik1, yes [02:53] chuy, Stormx2: still no suces though [02:53] Anyone know if i can edit the Python Logo to add "Made With" to the top left corner of the png and be ok?

[02:55] thanx chuy! I've got the wireless and it's not playing nice. Looks like the firmware isn't loading but I've got the same fw on other machines [02:55] Dominik1, the command doesn't work? Your brightness doesn't go up? [02:55] Or whatever it is you're trying to do... [02:55] the difference is that I'm running 7.04 [02:55] Stormx2: the command does not execute, no, brightness does not change : ( [02:55] whats a good video converter for ubuntu? ffmpeg isn't playing nicely with ogv for me [02:55] Dominik1: New idea! [02:55] shadowkill, what does playing nice mean? [02:56] !nice [02:56] 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. [02:56] good night [02:56] and stay linux ! [02:56] what else is there [02:56] Dominik1, one moment. [02:56] anything as nice as frostwire thats not java ? [02:56] ardchoille: I managed to switch off raise on click, which is what I was looking for :) [02:56] Stormx2: the command won't execute when I paste it into the terminal either, however if I replace the gsku with ... | sudo tee and then give the pass it works flawlessly [02:56] is there a system monitor for the graphics card? [02:57] when I look in network manager says it's joining my network. but it's not. when I look at dmesg it says "missing fw" [02:57] !mounting [02:57] Can you give me an exemple of "period" [02:57] 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 [02:57] Dominik1, replace the 2nd line with "echo 1 >> /sys/class/backlight/sony/brightness" [02:57] xxSimxx: . [02:57] I've loaded the fw as per some forum posts I found on Google but no luck so far [02:57] Stormx2: that will append not overwrite [02:57] I need to patch ALSA driver source. What would be the easiest way to do this (i.e. without having to compile my own kernel)? [02:57] Dominik1, then in the launcher, change the command to gksu /path/to/your/script [02:57] Dominik1, yep. [02:57] anhyone knows how edit keyring??? [02:57] Marfi: avidemux? [02:57] Stormx2: we want overwrite dont we? [02:58] Hello. I'm a nice bot. Try ?help [02:58] mkquist, ill try it, ty [02:58] Dominik1, your original command used tee -a, the -a flag appends.

Viruses and worms aren't just a Windows thing! ;) [03:02] shadowkill: Mostly a windows thing :P [03:02] Stormx2: both laucher and shell on desktop [03:02] okay thank you people [03:02] security also...

[03:17] lain_wired: You'd probably have the most luck checking the DSL instructions on putting it on a USB stick [03:17] I never get a response to this problem over IRC or in forums.

I really don't know what else to try right now [03:17] just the thing i needed! tnx again ppl [03:17] ljsoftnet: Under GPU0 there is "Thermal Monitor" - that's as much as you can do with this driver [03:17] noksious i have an eggdrop running, and it appears i have tclsh8.4 installed [03:17] can i play online games in ubuntu?

[03:21] the names in sscm is not very suggestive [03:22] augie_: /join #compiz [03:22] so that means something like "smartctl -i /dev/sda" (thanks Flannel for your help yesterday) [03:22] ok [03:22] someone lost menubar icons into file-roller??? [03:22] PeskyJ, i don't understand what your saying? [03:22] rsvp: Yeah, exactly like that [03:22] rsvp: well, with whatever smartctl parameters youre passing [03:23] is it just me or does the synaptic search suck on ibex? [03:23] ljsoftnet: since nvidia are the people who write the driver, you can only request that feature from nvidia [03:23] cool... so sda will end up checking both hda1 and hda5, right?

[03:34] i have installed 8.10 and as well package ndiswrapper and ndiskgt somewthing and will install the driver but 1 some doubts [03:35] how can i know if i have the correct driver for my card ... [03:35] matthias__: does it work? [03:35] AMD64 dual core on ubuntu 8.10 ... i have no log on screen ... but live CD works ... suggestions ? [03:35] matthias__: yep if your crappy wireless thing has no native driver, your only hope is ndiswrapper [03:36] matthias__: cause then i would say its an ok driver ;-) [03:36] shadowwulf: what do you see when you boot? [03:36] shaowwolf i believe i have a simmiliar problem, my system asks for something with enabling a memory hole [03:36] <_hase> I'm still trying to find a solution to my savage video card problem, I found a website with dri images but I don't know which one to go with or which linux header to install [03:36] musikgoat: ndiswrapper is the only one to rely on [03:36] goes thru the whole boot and when it gets to the log in screen it just stops with a scrambled screen [03:37] matthias__: sebsebseb is right [03:37] musikgoat: darn i think it will fail then ... [03:37] matthias__: what wireless thing are you trying to get working exactly? [03:37] half of the screen has the desktop and half of the screen says a double ubuntu [03:38] sebsebseb: bcm43xx [03:38] matthias__: I mean is that built into your lap top? [03:38] format STDOUT for limit stdout at 5 lines ? [03:38] sebsebseb: yes [03:38] matthias__: so you can't just change it for something else? [03:38] sebsebseb: worked in hardy but seems to fail in version ... [03:38] shadowwulf: do you get the login screen before the desktop? is that fine? [03:39] Does anybody know of a cd burning program that can also convert the mp3 before burning to wav so it can be played in any cd player [03:39] no i did not [03:39] does anyone know how to change the apearance of an ubuntu like cd? [03:39] it never makes it to the log in screen [03:39] phrostbite: can you rephrase the question [03:39] phrostbite: i dont understand [03:39] matthias__: ok well Intrepid Ibex hardly has anything that is worth the upgrade really for many Hardy users. also Hardy is LTS so 3 years of supopurt. where as ibex only 1 year and a half. [03:39] but i did install 8.04 and upgraded with the same result [03:39] matthias__: and their is nothing wrong with downgrading from Intrepid Ibex to Hardy Heron [03:40] matthias__: especially if your wireless will work their [03:40] there [03:40] phrostbite: I'm pretty sure k3b can do that [03:40] format STDOUT = ??? for limit out at 5 lines please.... [03:40] Well most programs when you burn an audio cd it burns it as a audio mp3 cd. Well the stereo in my car can't play mp3, so is there one that can make it so you can play it there. [03:40] matthias__: also if you want Intrepid Ibex as well, once you got hardy on there, but your wireless to work with Intrepid I have an idea [03:41] you mean it burns it as a data cd. [03:41] phrostbite: Yeah, I think if you drag mp3s into an audio cd project in k3b that does the trick, but it's been a while since I did that so I might be wrong [03:41] can somebody tell me the root password for a 7.10 live cd [03:41] ok [03:41] sebsebseb: i will be here for a while but i have some poblems with high cpu usage in hardy when seeing movies ..., go on ... [03:41] Lachlan: there is no root password, the root account is locked. [03:41] Lachlan: no root password on live [03:41] hey guys, the first time I ran ibex after I installed it there's a notice that says that my battery is old or broken and now I'm noticing that ubuntu uses up battery much faster than xp [03:41] sebsebseb: continue [03:41] is it a problem with the battery applet? [03:41] so on the live i can only use sudo? [03:42] Lachlan: On real installs only use sudo as well. Ubuntu doesn't use the root login [03:42] matthias__: does your computer have Windows on it as well? [03:42] sebsebseb: nop, i do not like windows [03:42] Lachlan: Yeah, but you can do "sudo -s" if you want something similar to su [03:42] Lachlan: sudo -s [03:43] musikgoat: suggestions ? [03:43] shadowwulf: hit ctrl+alt+f2 to see if you can get a functional command line, login [03:43] Hi all [03:43] sebsebseb: but i have the OS, you mean run as virtual ... [03:43] matthias__: well my suggestion was to put Hardy back on, and then put Ibex in a virtual machine, and then your vm will use hardy for wireless [03:43] shadowwulf: what kind of video card? [03:43] nvidia 8800 [03:43] GTS [03:43] matthias__: also you can try some other distros from Live CD and they may run better on your computer [03:43] Is there a good reference for intrepid where I can compare commands done in the GUI with their counterparts listed in command for the terminal? [03:44] sebsebseb: ok [03:44] Ikynn-> what are you trying to compare? [03:44] no go on the ctrl alt f2 ... looks like it froze up [03:44] i have a pretty strange problem. i need to transfer about 13gb of files from one machine to another. but, the network is set up so that i need to ssh into a third machine from my laptop to access the files. i cannot transfer the files to the third machine. is there a clever way to scp these files to my laptop? [03:44] matthias__: Fedora Core, OpenSuse, uhmmmmmmm Elive I guess as well :D Mandriva so on those are good distros to try [03:44] sebsebseb: will fight for a while and see if i can get it running afterall i have made an clean install today [03:45] Well - I can just click, double-click, etc on icons - but I want to know what commands I'm using by clicking, so I can switch to using a command line [03:45] shadowwulf: Do the capslock/numlock/scrolllock lights change on your keyboard? [03:45] midwestward-> move the hd over? then copy internally? [03:45] no they do not ... not at this time [03:45] how do i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10... is it just sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [03:45] shadowwulf: alright, try restarting this way (its safer than a hard power down): hold alt-sysrq, then slowly push r e i s u b [03:45] looks like i will have to reset to get it work reboot [03:45] n8tuser: that is a good idea. but i can't put the hdd in my laptop [03:45] !upgrade | giacomo_c [03:45] giacomo_c: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [03:46] sebsebseb: thanks anyway, but i am looking for people to fight for ubuntu not turn them down, but i understand ..., i wanna fight a bit before thinking of changing distro ... [03:46] midwestward-> there are those usb adapters...but its up to you [03:46] can i get that scroll with the middle mouse button so that when u press it, arrows come up, and you move your mouse into the direction that you would like scroll? [03:46] rebooted ... at the menu choices [03:46] Any one know how to setup file associations in firefox? For example I want nzb files to open with pan e.g. "pan --nzb file.nzb -o /downloads? [03:46] anyone here have a dell 1535 that has been able to get sound recording working [03:47] n8tuser: i'm pretty sure they don't want me opening up this box. [03:47] matthias__: There's nothing wrong with sticking with 8.04, it'll be supported into 2011. [03:47] is there anyway to scp through a third machine? [03:47] giacomo_c: can be done in the update manager pretty easily too. I have a little button in hardy's update manager at the top saying "New Distribution Release 8.10 available" [03:47] midwestward: you mean in one action? [03:47] shadowwulf: can you get into hardy recovery? [03:48] How do you change the computer name ? [03:48] midwestward: e.g; ssh foo@bar "scp foo@baz:gotttle.tar.gz ." [03:48] \? [03:48] !hostname | thiefness [03:48] matthias__: see my PM [03:48] yes i can go either inot normal boot or (recovery mode) [03:48] never trieed it [03:48] thiefness: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [03:48] n8tuser: Well, I can manipulate files by clicking, double-clicking, etc - but I want to know the command line commands for what I'm doing with the mouse, and all I'd like is a chart that compares the two === meoblast001 is now known as meoblast_pwns_pp [03:48] Flannel: yeah, but he also had an issue with hardy [03:49] sitting at the menu with the choice of normal boot or recovery mode === meoblast_pwns_pp is now known as meoblast001 [03:49] Need some help with video playback [03:49] linuxpoet: would that not move the files onto the third machine? [03:49] in my grub.lst the uuid listed as the root parition doesn't match the uuid in /dev/disks/by-uuid even thought i haven't changed anything. [03:49] is this normal ? [03:49] Ikynn-> you can find out the command line behind an icon most of the time, right click on the icon [03:49] i have reinstalled grub though [03:49] !ask > Kumo [03:49] Kumo, please see my private message [03:50] ignore me [03:50] im full of crap [03:50] Hey people, how do I disable networkmanager/nmapplet? I don't see it under System -> Administration -> Services. I'm basically using GnomePPP/wvdial to manage my dial-up connection much better than what nm-applet offers. [03:50] DVD's won't playback in Movie Player, VLC, or Dragonplayer. Why? [03:50] shadowwulf: can you get into recovery mode? [03:50] i am booting now into it [03:50] n8tuser: I kind of figured that out already - but I'm brand-new to Linux in general, and it's more of an exercise of learning the syntax at the same time - perhaps a good tutorial for Linux syntax as it applies in Intrepid? [03:51] download codecs [03:51] it dropped me into a recovery menu [03:51] Kumo: google "enable dvd playback ubuntu" - lots of guides [03:51] ohhhh gross, theres an nvidia subliminal message splash screen that shows before the GDM login, how do i disable that? [03:51] I was under the impression that those players had the codecs for DVD [03:51] Hi, I;m trying to install virtualbox on a server running ubuntu 8.04 server x64. It's complaining that it cant find the kernel headers for my kernel: 2.6.24.5-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-64 and I cant seem to find them in aptitude. Is there some other place I can find them? [03:51] Ikynn-> most command have man pages, so man dpkg for example [03:51] Kumo: need certain packages/libraries that don't come with ubuntu for licensing reasons [03:52] Ikynn-> man as in manual [03:52] !dvd > Kumo [03:52] Kumo, please see my private message [03:52] Any can help me with my driver installation (Realtek HD alc888)? [03:52] Ikynn-> try also man man [03:52] n8tuser: Ok, thanks! I'll play around with the man command a bit [03:52] I could make a dirty joke, but I'll resist just this once :-P [03:52] Ikynn-> you're welcome, i hope you enjoy it [03:54] www.talkcity.com [03:54] kumo: really there are no commercial dvd codecs available for ANY OS free of charge. Under windows you have to pay for a dvd playback program and that comes with a codec. A basic install of windows will not provide you with the abiity to play back dvds. [03:54] i am at the recovery menu with 4 choices ... [03:54] shadowwulf: sorry, root [03:54] i am in root [03:55] iaminROOT! [03:55] How do I find my kernel image? [03:55] I'm trying to configure GRUB. [03:55] n8tuser: How do I exit out of a manual page, in the terminal? [03:56] Ikynn-> q for quit [03:56] q [03:56] ikonia: press q [03:56] ty [03:56] ikonia: sorry - not for you. pressed tab too soon :P [03:56] did I mention I'm brand-new? [03:56] !kernel [03:56] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [03:56] Ikynn: beats being old an cynical [03:56] shadowwulf: type glxinfo | grep "direct" [03:57] well I'm working on that too :-P [03:57] shadowwulf: does it give you a yes? [03:57] Ikynn-> if you want to see most of the commands available, press tab twice in a terminal ..should be a few thousand to be listed [03:57] it gives me a unable to open display [03:57] Well I guess I have my reading cut out for me for the next decade... [03:57] error: unable to open display [03:58] Ikynn: not really. You'll pick it up fast. https://help.ubuntu.com is a pretty good resource for common tasks === stefreak_ is now known as stefreak [03:58] spolvid: in a terminal type uname -r [03:58] Ikynn: well at least you wojnt worry about windows changng the OS on you so you have relearn it [03:58] spolvid: then under /boot you should find the images and the grub folder. [03:59] I have multiple users on this pc is there anyway to broadcast a system wide message that users will get when they login? [04:01] musikgoat: ??? [04:01] why is it that after I installed my nvidia driver and restarted the driver loaded and ran fine, but now that I restart again, the driver did not load, but instead my computer started with vesa [04:01] Ok, so I'm trying to compile a program on my desktop that has a makefile.in file in the folder. How do I execute that in the command line? [04:01] !compile | Ikynn [04:01] Ikynn: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [04:01] So is it safe to mount a ntfs-3g partition if I've installed Ubuntu by Wubi? [04:01] Ikynn: What are you trying to compile? [04:01] Kismet [04:02] Ikynn: Whats wrong with the one in the repositories? [04:02] Ikynn: why not just sudo apt-get install kismet? [04:02] !synaptic | Ikynn [04:02] Ikynn: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [04:02] Ikynn: or are you some kind of masochist who enjoys compiling? :) [04:02] DVA5912-> you can add it in /etc/issue [04:02] I'm just following directions from the Kismet site [04:03] How can I find my kernel for configuring GRUB? [04:03] Ikynn: Ah, you'll be better off just using the one in the repositories [04:03] in all honesty I have no idea what I'm doing, but it's all in a Virtual PC, so if I screw up, no matter [04:03] how come I can't type anything into the bssids field in my wireless network configuration? [04:03] spolvid: What rae you trying to accomplish? [04:03] spolvid-> first do a uname -r [04:03] Ikynn: just download the package and skip over the section about compiling - save yourself the headache [04:03] shadowwulf: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:03] spolvid-> then look for it in /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:04] which one of the links is the one regarding the package, again? [04:04] Ikynn: sudo apt-get install kismet? [04:04] rgr, will try [04:04] Ikynn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [04:04] n8tuser: Where should I be looking? [04:04] shadowwulf: i would make sure your nvidia drivers are installed, !nvidia, but i've got to go [04:04] spolvid: What are you trying to do with them? [04:04] ever since I have upgraded to 8.10, my nm-applet icon is no longer shown in the taskbar.. and running it doesn't popup either. [04:04] shadowwulf: gl [04:04] Thanks guys - this chan rocks my socks off! [04:04] spolvid-> then look for it in /boot/grub/menu.lst file [04:04] how can I report / fix thid? [04:04] s/thid/this/ [04:04] Flannel: Just to get GRUB to boot Ubuntu. RIght now it just sits there. [04:04] thankx musikgoat [04:05] wow setting up linux is hard [04:05] spolvid: Ah. hit 'e' at the grub menu and you can edit the entries right there (greatly reduces shotgun debugging time) === danopia_ is now known as danopia [04:05] I have a question. Ubuntu is developed from Debian unstable. When does the freeze for import from debian occur? [04:06] Ok, I'll try that. [04:06] anybody else that pick up where musikgoat left off ? [04:07] FluxD: Its not quite developed straight from it, although early in the development process there is a lot of importing. But see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule (December 25, Debian Import Freeze) [04:07] Hullo! [04:07] The first user I create in Ubuntu is not the root account, right? [04:07] Ikynn: correct. You don't use the root account in Ubuntu [04:07] Ikynn: correct [04:08] Flannel, what about Intrepid? [04:08] I was here just before, and just in case anyone wonders, I got DSL to work. It's really remarkable. [04:08] What if I have a program that needs root access? [04:08] FluxD: Intrepid is already released. But, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule [04:08] Ikynn, Just use sudo for anything requiring root access, or "sudo su" for a persistent root prompt [04:08] why is it that after I installed my nvidia driver and restarted the driver loaded and ran fine, but now that I restart again, the driver did not load, but instead my computer started with vesa [04:08] Thanks! [04:08] m1dn1ght, Ikynn: sudo -i is better [04:09] ikonia: yeah - what flannel said [04:09] But, you'll find you don'tneed a root shell often, if at all. [04:09] Also, a tip if you don't want to add "sudo" to every command during a terminal sessiom: use "sudo -i" [04:09] Ikynn, : yeah - what flannel said [04:09] gah [04:09] Flannel, so DebianImportFreeze means after that no packages from debian unstable is copied over? [04:09] can anybody help me on a logon screen scarmble ? [04:09] Ikynn: also - if you want to manipulate files as root using the gui you can "sudo nautilus" [04:09] FluxD: There are always exceptions, but as a rule, correct. Also, there are still updates, etc, after that. [04:10] shadowwulf: how ironic that you scrambled the letters of 'scramble' [04:10] m1dn1ght, Ikynn: for graphical programs you should always use gksu instead of sudo (or kdesu if youre in Kubuntu) [04:10] Flannel, I thought only security updates were copied not feature updates? [04:10] yeah, i have been told i do that alot [04:10] Ikynn: again - what he said [04:10] why does my computer always start with vesa? [04:10] FluxD, wrong [04:10] i need help, cant get lm-sensors to work. Says no sensors found when i type "sensors" [04:10] FluxD: bugfixes and security updates, but thats hard and fast only after release, beforehand theres a bit more leeway. A better place to ask these things would be in #ubuntu-motu, where the MOTU live. [04:11] how can I check RAM on my laptop? [04:11] anyone here vnc into ubuntu? and when so, is graphics emulation acceptable or is it extremely slow and lagging. not taking about video games here. just openoffice and firefox etc.. [04:11] any way to see how much RAM I have using Ubuntu? [04:12] angelo: free [04:12] angelo: is the command [04:12] hi can I use my ubuntu box as bluetooth speaker of a cell phone? [04:12] any help with lm-sensors? [04:12] goldmetal: I'm no expert, but over local network it's pretty good. Over internet for me it was quite laggy [04:13] m1dn1ght, ok. sounds good to me. running buntu on vmware console is slow and lagginh === stefreak is now known as o2i34io23j [04:13] Can you upgrade to Ubuntu from an existing Debian (Lenny) install by replacing the sources.list and running apt upgrade? [04:14] nebajoth, sounds dangerous [04:14] indeed it does [04:14] nebajoth: No (well, technically maybe, but you'll spend an awful lot of time fixing individual issues) [04:14] nebajoth, be cool if can [04:14] nebajoth, that sounds about as dirty as it comes [04:14] nebajoth, if you're very knowledgeable, it's doable but there's gonna be a lot of manual massaging [04:14] I having problems with Ibex saying i need to enable a "memory hole" capability in my bios, any thought? [04:14] its a pretty bare lenny install [04:14] thiefness, thanks [04:14] I'm wondering how many issues it would end up being [04:14] its a server [04:15] hmm [04:15] nebajoth, it'd be much faster to backup configs and data and reinstall [04:15] nebajoth, may i ask why you want to do this, good sir? [04:15] People, how I can found gweather-applet-2 source-code ? [04:15] I am running Vista and Ubuntu on Dual-bootup, I am thinking of giving more hard drive space to Ubuntu and less to Vista now, is it possible to increase ext3 and still keep Vista and the dual-bootup intact [04:16] PauloRicardo, make sure the sources are enabled in system->admin->sources, then apt-get source [04:16] Kengine: Pretty sure you can shrink/resize partitions using gparted and live cd [04:16] Yeah, you can give gparted a try with resizing the partitions. [04:16] Just don't format anything and your good. [04:16] goldmetal: there is no ubuntu installer for the NSLU2 === WPPWAH is now known as AwayNick [04:17] goldmetal: but there is one for Debian [04:17] goldmetal: I have Debian on there now, figuring it was the most acceptable option [04:17] goldmetal: but I want Ubuntu, dammit [04:17] m1dn1ght: so I can do it from within Ubuntu ? or do I need to reboot it using liveCD [04:17] nickrud: Hmm, I will do this. Thanks so much guy. :) [04:17] Kengine: Can't do it while the hard drive is mounted - which it is if you're running Ubuntu from it [04:17] PauloRicardo, the package name is gnome-applets by the way [04:18] nickrud: Thanks again for the tip. :) [04:18] hi i am not able to use network-manager i am using 8.10 [04:18] hello [04:18] alt: hello [04:18] wait [04:18] this might be academic [04:18] does ubuntu even support ARM?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:20] ha [04:20] fair [04:20] lol [04:20] goldmetal, yes === Rhorse is now known as anyone [04:20] ok, I'm here, ask away, all [04:21] nebajoth, and ... compiling the source did not help?

[04:21] crzedmonk, try weechat [04:21] nebajoth, compile NSLU2 yourself on ubuntu [04:21] crzedmonk: You don't need to script it to autoconnect, just configure it. [04:21] whochismo, anybody is away right,now, but maybe I can help? [04:21] hi can I use my ubuntu box as bluetooth speaker for a cell phone? [04:21] Hey people, how do I disable networkmanager/nmapplet? I don't see it under System -> Administration -> Services. I'm basically using GnomePPP/wvdial to manage my dial-up connection much better than what nm-applet offers. [04:22] I where is the configuring tutorial then?

[04:31] Flannel: no because i tried to do dpkg -r [04:31] anyone: no, i cannot open alsamixer as it doesn't detect any soundcard... [04:31] Kumo, open source dvd playing software (that involves decryption of CSS) is considered a circumvention device and breaks the law (in the US) [04:31] hilton: #ubuntu-offtopic (and actually, #firefox and #thunderbird on mozillas IRC would be the best place to ask) [04:31] Kumo, may i msg you?

[04:33] Flannel, nickrud ic, thx I was just confused that it's not there [04:33] sebsebseb: yes [04:34] m1dn1ght: CentOS 5.0 is rock solid btw [04:34] lol [04:34] matthias__: I don't even know what that is [04:34] anyone: basically my problem is that i followed these instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=878608 [04:34] Kengine: Can't understand how resizing during initial ubuntu install would leave vista intact, but a post-install resize would break it. I'm afraid I don't have a solution :( [04:34] whochismo, lots of ways. check for loaded modules first: lsmod | grep snd , you should see a handful of modules regarding sound [04:34] Kengine: Yeah - centos is pretty much as stable as they come :) [04:35] Hmmm [04:35] whochismo, what distro? [04:35] ubuntu 8.10 [04:35] So I buy the DVD, but to play it on my laptop, I have to pay again for a decoder? [04:35] and no, if i doa lsmod | grep snd, there'snobody there [04:35] How do I find out which driver I want for my wireless card? I know it's a ralink, I installed the rt2860sta driver, but I can't seem to connect [04:35] can somebody tell me the apt-get to download nvidia drivers ? [04:35] shadowwulf, what card do you have? [04:35] Kumo, may i? [04:35] ditch64: and so now it works? [04:35] Yes [04:35] Kumo: not in Linux [04:36] nvidia 8800 GTS [04:36] Kumo: It's definitely possible to enable DVD playback for free in ubuntu. I did it myself tonight. [04:36] nickrud: i don't have any module loaded regarding sound [04:36] mouse isn't working (vm issues). what is the hot key to open a terminal? [04:36] Kumo: no [04:36] mkquist: yes, but i have a feeling its going to die or something is going to go wrong next time i boot [04:36] Installing nvidia drivers the recommended way leaves my tty's blank, is there a fix for this yet? [04:36] sebsebseb: yes, i have in lshw - c network module stated module=ssb and not ndiswrapper as it suppose to be ... [04:36] telexicon: trying to get the logon screen to come up ... but it screws up [04:36] thiefness: google the motherboard you have, find the wifi chipset in the tech specs, and google for the ubuntu driver that supports that chipset and see if you're on the list of supported wifi cards [04:36] mkquist: almost like it learned and fixed itself...? [04:37] whochismo, hm, compiling kernel modules can be problematic, and hard to troubleshoot. Did the install complete successfully? [04:37] m1dn1ght: these new laptop comes with hybrid graphics and 8 gig ram support, I hope Ubuntu's next version catches up to support these [04:37] shadowwulf, could you pastebin the result of, dpkg -l | grep nvidia [04:37] nebajoth: thanks, ill try that, sounds difficult =x [04:37] sebsebseb: module=ndiswrapper and not in current distro have module=ssb, that was my sollution ... === CasuaLty is now known as Casualty [04:37] thiefness: it gets easier over time. wifi is a weak spot for linux still. [04:37] sebsebseb: fight i won :) [04:37] CarlFK: alt/f2 [04:37] nickrud: i only tried to install the realktec drivers, and yes, it seemed to complete successfully, but without finding any appropiate driver for my computer [04:37] thiefness: it doesn't take long if you know what to look for, either [04:37] matthias__: yep and now what you going to do? [04:38] sebsebseb: an work around made for hardy ... [04:38] shadowwulf, you tried the restricted drivers manager and it didnt work? [04:38] nebajoth: i've been working on this for like 2-2.5 hours so far ;P [04:38] matthias__: what? [04:38] whochismo, isn't that cutting edge? Why don't you revert to stable, if it's that important to you? [04:38] whochismo, I have no experience with that sound chip, so I'd be stabbing in the dark trying to troubleshoot remotely. I'd suggest posting to that thread for help. [04:38] i cant get into ubuntu .. the screen frezzes just before logon [04:38] sebsebseb: yes that was an work around from the hardy time .... [04:38] sebsebseb: still working for my wireless card ... [04:39] shadowwulf, ok [04:39] irc.freenode.net [04:39] anyone: nickrud: Sound worked perfectly until a few hours. I just tried to upgrade the drivers in order to make my internal microphone work... [04:39] shadowwulf, when it does that, could you press ctrl+alt+f1 tell me what it does? [04:39] sebsebseb: well spread the word, the fix is was for hardy and still is an fix in ithis distro 2 [04:39] mkquist: ? [04:39] whochismo, oh, you had working sound at one time, with the default install? Prior to running that script? [04:40] matthias__: yeah sure you can tell people in detail about that some where [04:40] nickrud: yes, exactly [04:40] whochismo, ah, so it's borked. [04:40] i just would like to revert those changes... [04:40] ii nvidia-kernel-common 20051028+1ubuntu8 NVIDIA binary kernal module common files [04:40] whochismo, good luck. [04:40] sebsebseb: okey, well i will be around to help ... [04:40] shadowwulf, ok, is this on 8.10? [04:40] thanks... [04:41] I used dd to copy my working partition to another on the same HD, How do i add it to grub? [04:41] * lu31415 wonders if there will ever be an end to her radeon 2400 woes... [04:41] telexicon: 8.04 [04:41] whochismo, sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r) should get you back your sound then [04:41] matthias__: yeah that's what I am doing here, but there hasn't really been anyone here for me to help tonight as such [04:41] sebsebseb: have any ide why totem player consumes cpu power when watching movies ? [04:41] does someone know how to extract a file from firefox's cache? [04:41] whochismo, you'll need to reboot after running that [04:41] whochismo, I avoid doctors, car mechanics, and upgrades. [04:41] sebsebseb: okey, well i made it ... [04:41] nickrud: i already rebooted [04:42] whochismo, did you run the reinstall command above? [04:42] matthias__: to be honest totem sucks arse, and I still wonder why it is the default for Ubuntu in a way. also Intrepid Ibex has a much better banshee version then Hardy does [04:42] shadowwulf, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [04:42] what's banshee [04:42] ? [04:42] anyone: i like upgrades... don't know why... [04:42] derpnooner: are you on Intrepid Ibex? [04:42] telexicon: i have tried ubuntu 8.04 which works fine and have tried 8.10 which screwed up .. tried installing 8.04 and upgrading with the same result ... the line i gave you is from ultimate edition 1.9 thats running on ubuntu 8.04 [04:42] does anyone know if you can boot to an executable from Grub, say Ghost or Acronis? [04:42] sebsebseb: what player do you use ... [04:42] know, still using hardy [04:42] whochismo, are you an adrenaline junkie or somethin? [04:42] no * [04:43] derpnooner, apt-cache search banshee (a music program) [04:43] whoops [04:43] hey all [04:43] derpnooner: hummmmmm there is a way to add a ppa for the intrepid ibex banshee version in hardy, but I would have to find link [04:43] im trying to install a game with wine [04:43] derpnooner: how old is yoru computer? [04:43] anyone: maybe.... or just wasting my time with the computer when i have free time.. [04:43] and the menu is sooo big that I cant complete the installation! [04:43] I used dd to copy my working partition to another on the same HD, How do i add it to grub? [04:44] whochismo, run the reinstall command I gave you above, then reboot [04:44] anyone are having wireless issues with broadcom wireless hw [04:44] hey, is there a portuguese language-specific ubuntu channel? [04:44] is there a specific irc for multimedia ? I'm having trouble with dvd play back [04:44] matthias__: I quite like VLC for movies, however the newer version of Banshee is really good the one that is in Ibex, and so I will use that for movies most of the time, and it's so much better then Rythombox which I used before when Banshee sucked [04:44] !pt | lu31415 [04:44] lu31415: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [04:44] i'm running an older hp laptop [04:44] can any body please tell hi how to connect to internet in 8.10 [04:44] 1.4 celeron [04:44] whochismo, and you'll probably need to remove any changes to alsa-base you made [04:44] sebsebseb: thanks for the tip ... [04:44] 1 gb ram [04:44] crappy intel graphics [04:45] nickrud: i'm running the command right now, sorry, i missed that line [04:45] derpnooner: have you tried the Intrepid Ibex Live CD on it? [04:45] and broadcomm wireless [04:45] whochismo, yes. You should be out smelling the flowers or inside reading a good book. You know you should. 8 ) [04:45] shadowwulf, after you do that and install, and restart.. does it do anything? [04:45] Anyone know of a good imaging software to use? [04:45] disk imaging [04:45] whochismo, get a better irc client, it'll highlight lines written to you ;) [04:45] what benefits would i get in the latest release [04:45] anyone: well, i read good books also... [04:45] ? [04:46] derpnooner: not that much to be honest, but may as well upgrade if your computer will handle it nicely [04:46] any guess where I can find assigned directories? [04:46] nickrud: i use pidgin, it highlight the lines.. it's just me, that I never pay enough attention [04:46] telexicon: seems i have no internet conection on this machine [04:46] anyone: help with a wine problem, 2 days old [04:46] hosstest, not sure exactly what you need but what about dd or ddrescue? [04:46] well, i'm going to rebook [04:46] be right back [04:46] i'll get the iso and try it out [04:46] smartctl fans, I got this message: "Execute SMART Short self-test routine immediately in off-line" -- but no results >> so where is the test output? [attn: esp Flannel, thanks] [04:46] (and thanks) [04:46] shadowwulf, ah yeah, youre on the console [04:46] which kernel does it run? [04:46] Well, I hope they're mostly dead authors, death seems to be the primary requiremnt of good writing. Pity... [04:46] shadowwulf, here one sec [04:46] whochismo, heh. That's why I also have a chime set for lines with my nick, I'm inattentive a lot also [04:46] so [04:46] with dual monitors [04:47] shadowwulf, can you pastebin the contents of /etc/network/interfaces please [04:47] and i do cube rotate [04:47] derpnooner: the version of Banshee that comes in hardy sucks, but there is a way to add the Ibex version, and with that version Banshee is great for video and music [04:47] shadowwulf, or um [04:47] derpnooner: however VLC is also great for video [04:47] rsvp: the output one... I believe its -a, but check the manpage [04:47] shadowwulf, one sec [04:47] how do i make the cube show up as one cube cenetered between two monitors, instead of one cube reflected as two cubes on each monitor? [04:47] i have a question for anyone who might know. I use TOTEM, and when I move the window the video stays in one place until i release the window [04:47] anyone, it's not that death is required, it's just that most authors are dead. Bigger source of good books [04:47] derpnooner: totem sucks big time compared to vlc and banshee [04:47] I want the video to move with the window [04:48] derpnooner: also there is stuff like kabbodle and what not kde video players that are good [04:48] i'm installing banshee right now [04:48] derpnooner, its a bug in intel drivers [04:48] derpnooner: sure, but you will get the old crappy hardy version not the good ibex one [04:48] derpnooner: unless you add the ppa for the ibex repo or upgrade to hardy [04:48] I mean ibex [04:48] derpnooner, theres no way to fix it without sacrificing feautres [04:48] yeah, i kinda figured that [04:48] sebsebseb, is the banshee in ibex that much better? [04:49] Flannel, could you please kindly comment on http://bit.ly/riki :: anything you notice? [04:49] derpnooner, you can try to switch to x11 video output instead of xvideo [04:49] nickrud: yep seems so [04:49] I get crappy fullscreen if I disable NV [04:49] also, that we don't bother with bad dead authors. Big difference... [04:49] hm, time to try it again then [04:49] blocky and computer chokes on own feces when I do that [04:49] any guess where I can find assigned directories? [04:49] I want a best of both worlds scenario [04:49] easotokr, what do you mean by assigned? [04:49] need vim help: error is here, http://pastebin.ca/1250085, my .vimrc is here:http://pastebin.ca/1250087 [04:50] NV for fullscreen, x11 for windowed [04:50] rsvp: did ou see re: -a? or -A, I can't remember which [04:50] is that possible [04:50] shadowwulf, http://slexy.org/view/s2QatDKS8K make sure those 2 lines are in /etc/network/interfaces and uncomment them (remove the intial #) if they are [04:50] shadowwulf, if they arent in there, add them [04:50] checking... brb [04:50] hi [04:50] So - I've run sudo apt-get install kismet, it went through and installed, now where do I find the executable file to run it? [04:50] nothing fancy in the .vimrc should be easy [04:50] augie, start by installing vim-full , and trying it again [04:50] nickrud: I just discovered an application changed the route to my icons from /usr/share/icons to ~home/.local/share/icons [04:50] telexicon: will do .. working ..... [04:50] nickrud, will do [04:50] how do set delay i have to hold down 10 sec a key [04:50] nickrud, augie: just vim, not vim-full, unless you want gvim [04:50] can you change from a gnome installation to a kde one without having to reinstall from scratch? [04:51] nickrud: I want to reverse that but I can't uninstall the application [04:51] shadowwulf, after you do that, run, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [04:51] Flannel, did that change? just vim didn't have syntax in hardy [04:51] augie: I believe those errors are caused by EOL issues [04:51] shadowwulf, then you should have an internet connection and be able to apt-get [04:51] Flannel, I have vim (vim-common in synaptics??) and gvim (vim-gnome) [04:51] anyone know how to set up automatic Software Updates and Installations? [04:51] nickrud: "vim" is the full vim package (since vim-tiny is the crappy one thats installed), vim-full includes gvim, which most people don't want [04:51] yes, Flannel, smartctl -a >> Prints all SMART information about the disk [04:51] Flannel, will check it out, because I did copy it from windows [04:52] rsvp: Right, including the results of the tests [04:52] !cron | hosstest [04:52] hosstest: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [04:52] easotokr, that's a gnome change, fundamental to the desktop. [04:52] easotokr, or, that's my working hypothesis these days [04:52] anyone: Thanks. [04:52] ok, will report back... [04:53] hosstest, or kcron, for the pretty interface. [04:53] sure, I was without icons on compiz, evolution and other programs for three days until I found that change, copied icon dir to .local al viola, all worked [04:53] I have icons again [04:53] telexicon: downloading [04:54] shadowwulf, awesome [04:54] how do set delay i have to hold down 10 sec a key [04:54] easotokr, try creating a link between the dirs, so both are accessed by either path [04:54] telexicon: done [04:54] shadowwulf, ok try restarting [04:54] that was my second thought [04:54] i'll do it [04:54] sweet [04:55] derpnooner: if your not just going ot upgrade to Ibex ok, but don't use the hardy version of Banshee use the Ibex version in your hardy instead http://ppa.launchpad.net/banshee-team/ubuntu [04:55] Hi people... Would anyone by chance know why, for some reason, my highspeed cable internet is quite a bit slower in ubuntu than when in windows? [04:55] Flannel, by the way, thanks for the info about vim. I'm a bit inattentive at the moment ;) [04:55] cool, thanks for the advice [04:56] telexicon: same thing [04:56] is there a webpage development software for Ubuntu like Kompozer without requiring the klibs? === anyone is now known as RHorse [04:56] shadowwulf, do you have a way to pastebin files on this box? [04:56] this is the machine right next to it [04:56] Man ubuntu is great, but it still needs to be a little more user friendly. I wish I could take all of the good bits and pieces of Vista,Mac, Ubuntu and combine them into one super OS. [04:56] shadowwulf, do you have ssh setup? [04:56] lianimator: NVU [04:56] shadowwulf, can you scp some files from the box so you can pastebin them? [04:56] seaoftea, some day. :P [04:56] i dont think its installed [04:57] shadowwulf, ok um [04:57] shadowwulf, go to the console again, ctrl-alt-f1 [04:57] want me to install ssh ? [04:57] Cpudan80, lianimator: Kompozer is Nvu (Kompozer is still alive, Nvu is dead), and Neither are KDE [04:57] lianimator: mozilla seamonkey I guess [04:57] shadowwulf, run, tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log [04:57] shadowwulf, can you tell me if any lines have ERROR or similar in them? [04:57] Flannel: oh I didnt know [04:57] seaoftea, if you'd been around 5 or 6 releases ago, you would be agog at how much user-friendliness has improved. The line on the graph is marching steadily upward ;) [04:57] Flannel, nickrud thx [04:57] can anyone help me with scrambled DVD playback [04:58] lianimator: Kompozer was based on NVU and well they both are based on Mozilla Seamonkey's compossor so yeah [04:58] lianimator: or the former Mozilla Suite's to be exact, but yes Seamonkey in answer to your question [04:58] is there any way to disable the drums sound when ubuntu starts? [04:58] it's really annoying [04:58] yes [04:58] Is there a good app for adding extra customizable keyboard shortcuts for KDE4? [04:58] augie, System -> Preferences -> Sound [04:58] augie: yep and you could change the sound [04:58] telexicon: no such file ? [04:58] LF|Irssi: You might try #kubuntu [04:58] nickrud: no, I know! I tried installing ubuntu/debian/slackware/fedora and 8.10 is the first time I've kept linux as my main OS. [04:59] shadowwulf, ok, change into the /var/log dir [04:59] I used dd to copy my working partition to another on the same HD, How do i add it to grub? [04:59] shadowwulf, cd /var/log; ls; and see if there are any files like that? [04:59] augie: you could use Arch... it doesn't have that sound... [04:59] shadowwulf, Xorg.0.log or Xorg.20.log etc [04:59] aegis: lol ArchLinux would probably be to complacted for him [04:59] telexicon: typed it in wrong [05:00] I just installed ubuntu 8.10 on my Asus G1S, the ethernet does not work now. The ethernet has worked in all past versions i've tryed... can someone help me configure or maybe roll back??? [05:00] actually to change the startup sound i think he wants sudo /usr/sbin/gdmsetup [05:00] sebsebseb: :) I was joking... [05:00] Shovi: What's your device? [05:00] telexicon: what am i looking for in that log ? [05:00] aegies: I gathered that [05:00] telexicon, sebsebseb I thought I disabled everything, but now I just unchecked 'play alerts and sound effects' completely [05:00] sebsebseb: glad you caught that though [05:00] aegis, what's Arch? [05:01] shadowwulf, at the end of the file [05:01] shadowwulf, look for anything liek 'ERROR' [05:01] augie: ArchLinux a hardcore geeks Linux distro that involves a lot of commands [05:01] meh i need to stop using so many lines lol [05:01] augie: well not as hardcore as Slackware Linux, but still [05:01] sebsebseb: so, if I don't want to download the klibs.. I can use seamonkey? [05:01] what is the most developed? [05:02] e.g. most features and ease of use [05:02] sebsebseb, maybe not anytime soon [05:02] anyone know of a way to force desktop effects on in kubuntu? [05:02] augie: it's a Linux distro that you build from the ground up... it doesn't have anything you don't specifically put into it... I run it w/ gnome so it doesn't look much different than Ubuntu... [05:02] lianimator: Kompozer isn't a KDE program [05:02] liaminator: kompozer however bluefish I think it's called not installed that yet heh, is meant to be good to [05:02] hi all friend [05:02] augie: www.archlinux.org if you want to know more... but stick with Ubuntu... [05:02] Flannel: oh, when I downloaded kompozer, it was going to take 110+ MB [05:02] i have some problem [05:03] telexicon: nope ... nothing ... looks like it saw the card ... [05:03] shadowwulf, nothing at the end? no errors? [05:03] i enable the water effect, but how to start it [05:03] telexicon: no errors [05:03] Please help me [05:03] aegis: you use arch? [05:03] aegis, yeah.. but thx [05:03] > , ,< [05:03] nickrud: it worked, i can listen to music right now [05:03] thanks! [05:03] seaoftea, its Gigabit LAN, Realtek drivers work for XP... im unable to find the exact spec [05:03] lianimator: That seems extremely odd. Are you sure you have the right repo for it? [05:03] shadowwulf, do you know which driver its using? vesa, nv, nvidia? [05:03] sebs: yup... [05:04] i would assume nv [05:04] The only complaint I have about ubuntu now is the lack of software, Kubuntu has a lot more applications it seems like. I tried kubuntu but it crashed and crashed. I just wish there was more portability between kde and gnome apps. [05:04] aegis: ,but help with noobubuntu as well I see [05:04] well, along with the smartctl attributes a lot of the types read 'pre-fail' or 'old age' :: ummmm, is this worrisome for a hard drive only 10 months old??? [05:04] telexicon: is there a way to tell ? [05:04] when I installed nvu, it was using 25+MB [05:04] seaoftea, on XP i have the Realtek PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet [05:04] whochismo, yw [05:04] but it says it's download kompozer as well.. [05:04] seaoftea: you can use kde apps in gnome and vice-versa [05:04] i want software download manager support mms potocal. please help me [05:04] shadowwulf, um [05:04] seanw, you can run any kde app inside gnome [05:04] aegis: yeah still not done arch in a vm after all this time [05:04] seaoftea, , you can run any kde app inside gnome [05:04] both nvu and kompozer installed kdelibs [05:04] U sure? [05:05] shadowwulf, in the Xorg.0.log mine says "II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets:", so perhaps yours will say something similar but with the driver [05:05] so I have this weird problem with my wireless status light (laptop) blinking [05:05] seaoftea: yes, I've been doing it for years [05:05] seaoftea, absolutely [05:05] sebsebseb: Yes... I run ubuntu as well... I love ubuntu. I have it on all the computers for my family... I also run a few servers with it... and my gf's computer... [05:05] aegis: in fact I got close on my old computer, before my hardware failed bad enough that I coudn't use it anymore [05:05] so far I don't think it affects anything [05:05] okay then [05:05] lol [05:05] I installed nvu but kompozer was installed instead [05:05] Flannel what do you think? [05:05] seaoftea, this ain't windows, linux is cosmopolitan [05:05] aegis: indeed Ubuntu is a great one to recommend for new users, also the whole idelogy behind it is nice, you know the one I mean circle of friends one? I mean seen old dapper cd covers [05:05] sebs: I just run one copy of Arch though on my laptop... (which also has Ubuntu 8.10 in grub) [05:06] Shovi: Give me 1 sec to look at it [05:06] can anyone help me with scrambled DVD playback [05:06] rsvp: Pastebin the output, and I'll take a look [05:06] sebsebseb: Yup...

I agree with the applicability of Ubuntu for new users (as well as experienced)... It's better than any I've seen for new users actually... And I do remember the CD cover with the circle of friends... :) === Guest5735 is now known as Caveman_ [05:08] hey. how can i find out what agpmode my video card is running in (as in, 1x, 2x, 4x)? nothing's showing up in either dmesg or xorg.0.log. but maybe i'm not looking for the right things? [05:08] telexicon: i see (NV) ... but i also see (EE) failed to initialize GLX extension ( Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found ) [05:08] aegis: yep the whole Ubuntu Linux for human beings thing, and that picture is like saying we are all people, regardless, of age, gender, and race [05:08] Thanks to all those that helped me out tonight - I'm jumping off this learning curve for the night!

[05:11] shovi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=538448 <-- did you try these steps [05:11] shadow: I always had trouble with the "nv" driver... I recommend installing the updated drivers directly from Nvidia or waiting for EnvyNG to update (if it hasn't) for 8.10... [05:11] shadowwulf, if its there, change the line to read, Driver "nvidia" [05:11] hello [05:11] does anyone know a good and complete tutorial or howto to get IPtables running as router and gateway [05:11] anyone knows what it means by "Missing critical pre-requisite [05:11] -- missing system commands [05:11] " [05:11] what it means by "missing system commands"..?? [05:11] shadowwulf: Are you going to be using compiz? [05:11] seaoftea, thanks i will check that out [05:11] paul68 - if you made even a half-hearted attempt at googling you would have had the answer before having to re-ask. [05:12] Hi, i don't speak english well. How I can install ubuntu? I'm trying from Mexico sever [05:12] telexicon: seems it says UseFBDev ... and yes i want to use compiz [05:12] hello.. y cant i install auth-client-config on Dapper 6.06 Client? [05:12] Hi all, has anyone noticed that SATA drives are slow under ubuntu? Using hdparm -tT /dev/sda, I get a read speed of 69MB/s. And copying files is really slow. [05:12] glaksmono: does it say which system commands are missing? also, what is 'it'? [05:12] dearcia: can you burn a CD? [05:12] yes [05:12] crdlb, no.. it just says like this: [05:12] then why DONt you [05:12] Missing critical pre-requisite [05:12] -- missing system commands [05:12] shadowwulf, could you pastebin what the Section "Device" says? for "video" [05:12] mindrape: I have been googling for a week now and I can't find a complete tutorial that covers my needs just get the basics explained but nothing more then that [05:13] paul68: try this: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialIptablesNetworkGateway.html [05:13] crdlb: I'm trying to install Intel C++ Compiler [05:13] dearcia: Go here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [05:13] therealnanotube: thanks [05:13] shadowwulf, actually one sec [05:13] someone here faimiliar with OpenLDAP?

This doesn't happen under windows or before Ibex, an thoughts? [05:15] various other stuff left and right aren't working [05:15] rsvp: So, that table that has "Pre-Fail" and "Old Age" in it, that column is the type of information (type of failure-ish thing) that thatparticular row is. [05:15] hello.. y cant i install auth-client-config on Dapper 6.06 Client? [05:15] telexicon: didnt ask me anything about a video driver [05:15] benh: Mine wasn't nearly that bad... [05:15] shadowwulf, done already? [05:15] pogztimz: Because that package isnt in dapper. [05:15] can some1 pls tell me how can i download auth-client-config on a dapper distro [05:15] telexicon: keyboard and that was it [05:15] aegis: well, mine was OK at home on my amd64 [05:15] http://milw0rm.com/exploits/7051 [05:15] shadowwulf, ok is there a line in xorg.conf that says, Driver "something" ?

[05:16] let's reboot and see if network-mangler copes better [05:16] Clarkson123 - you are safe. All it could do is jackup files you have perms for. Don't run it as root (sudo) and you are safe. [05:16] Appears a list [05:16] Flannel> oh its u again.. tnk God.. how can i get it then? [05:16] benh: Do you mount your /home dir on a separate partition? [05:16] telexicon: nope just a driver that doesnt seem to be in [05:16] benh: You might just want to fresh install if you do [05:16] what's a good download manager? [05:16] pogztimz: Have you considered upgrading to Hardy? (If I remember correctly, you're already considering it) Once you upgrade, you'll have it.

[05:16] whats up aegis [05:17] i cant.. some of my machines jsut cant upgdr to hardy [05:17] rsvp: Yeah, the numbers in those columns are what you need to know about. You can probably find really good documentation on reading that output on the internet. I am not a good reference source on SMART itself. [05:17] hey. how can i find out what agpmode my video card is running in (as in, 1x, 2x, 4x)? nothing's showing up in either dmesg or xorg.0.log. but maybe i'm not looking for the right things?

[05:17] shadowwulf, ok, delete that line [05:17] Hello all.. I have a permissions question for someone who can help me out. I reasonably understand how to use chown and chmod, I have a text file that I created with gedit, i have set the permissions on this file as owned by root with permissions set to 700, I have created a desktop launcher targeted to this file as gksu gedit /location/filename , so, when i use this launcher for the first time it requires a password to open it, or save ch [05:17] anges naturally. but it does not ask everytime. how do i overcome this? [05:17] shadowwulf, replace it with, Driver "nvidia" [05:17] rsvp: Everyone has that, its static, its an attribute of those data type things, nothing to do with an individual drive [05:17] therealnanotube-> see if its mentioned in xdpyinfo [05:17] rsvp: Its like saying "i is an integer", integer is just the type of information. [05:18] aegis, u know who this is? [05:18] telexicon: rebooting [05:18] tj83: sudo caches the password for a time, you can either reduce (or eliminate) that time, or use sudo -k [05:18] Please help me [05:18] is there ubuntu developers channel? [05:18] Flannel, gotcha === THANKS so much for being great help, and so generous with your time and consideration! [05:19] glaksmono: #ubuntu-devel [05:19] i want download manager support mms potocal [05:19] Flannel, TY, i will try -k as i dont want this to be system wide. [05:19] Flannel: where can you reduce or extend the time? === adam is now known as Guest85523 [05:19] clouder`grr: in sudoers [05:19] thanks Flannel [05:19] Flannel: thanks [05:19] aegis: I have a list and I don't know what to do next [05:19] clouder`grr: (sudo visudo) [05:19] n8tuser: don't see anything about it there... [05:19] !pastebin [05:19] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:19] hey guys. I want to add limewire to my repository list [05:19] !frostwire | Acedip [05:19] Acedip: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [05:20] telexicon: ok blank screen ... but i was able to log in [05:20] lcortez: Nope... Should I? [05:20] shadowwulf, but nothing on the screen? [05:20] dearcia: A list of what? [05:20] telexicon: no nothing on the screen [05:20] shadowwulf, :-/ [05:20] ubi.exe, foother.html, etc [05:20] telexicon: least i know it didnt freeze up [05:21] can the ubuntu installer shrink an NTFS partition to make room for ubuntu dualboot? [05:21] maybe, you might have given me a server recently [05:21] for the fellow that needed IRC setup for PIDGIN, voila http://short.to/80z [05:21] Flannel: I don't see anything in the comments about time in sudo visudo [05:21] meyou-: yes [05:21] meyou-: yes [05:21] mostly fixed now [05:21] cool beans [05:21] thanks [05:21] would be interesting to know why it insists on starting the kde network manager applet in gnome sessions tho [05:22] clouder`grr: No, its got a default value, man sudoers mentions it, (And theres lots of documentation online), but sudo visudo is how you (more safely) edit sudoers [05:22] I have a problem installing samba that has spiraled out of control. I messed up smb.conf so i tried reinstalling it, which gave me some error about init scripts so I deleted /etc/init.d/samba but reinstalling doesn't restore it so now even though I can uninstall/reinstall samba, the file never comes back. How do I get a fresh clean samba on my machine? [05:22] meyou-: Actually the live cd comes with a great partitioning tool === y0m3r0 is now known as piolavski [05:22] also, dualbooting ubuntu64 and xp32 should be fine right? [05:22] Flannel: ahh ok, thanks again, just wondering. Pretty happy myself with sudo timing [05:22] meyou-: You can quad boot if you wanted too [05:22] air0day: You need to purge ("completely remove" in synaptic) the packages that those files were in. To figure out which packages those are, dpkg -S /path/to/file, will tell you (its likely a -common file or somethng) [05:23] benh: something is really screwed up if that is happening... consider a fresh install. [05:23] !chrome [05:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about chrome [05:23] Flannel, i added the -k option in my launcher line as gksu -k gedit filename.. but it does not ask for password every time. [05:23] telexicon: so what now ? [05:23] chrome is the google browser [05:23] shadowwulf, i dont know [05:23] meyou-: I actually did that for a while /w Ubuntu 64-bit, Mac OSX, Vista 64 and XP 32 [05:23] shadowwulf, im annoyed with the nvidia driver [05:23] shadowwulf, this is 8.04 correct? [05:24] yes 8.04 [05:24] <[biabia]> what file in ubuntu is similar to /etc/inittab in fedora where you can designate which run level is default [05:24] tj83: No, no, "sudo -k" will reset the timestamp (I'm actually not sure how this works with gksu). See the gksu manpage to see if it supports the -k option, if not, try making your launcher do this instead: sudo -k; gksu whatever [05:24] aegis: that's too painful for works, maybe later, I'll fix things up for now [05:24] aiiiiiiiiiiiii [05:24] Flannel, ok, will try that. [05:24] !goodnight [05:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about goodnight [05:25] ubottu: well neither frostwire is in repository [05:25] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:25] flannel: okay, i did a complete remove on samba and then installed it again, but it's still not there [05:25] that's ok ubottu ==== see ya all , thanks so much again! [05:25] air0day: Which package did you completely remove? [05:25] aiiiiiiii [05:25] samba [05:25] oh wait [05:25] got it [05:25] thanks :) [05:25] What that 'feature' called when your finger gets to the edge of your touch pad but the mouse keeps moving?

[05:29] ubottu: well ok that i can download the .deb file from the website but how to add that in the repository [05:29] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:29] seaoftea: it recognizes the printer, but there's no driver for it [05:29] true, but dyndns is visible to everyone....Im thinking of one that is private [05:29] it would probably use bind and a few scripts [05:29] telexicon: no errors ... but it now ID's the card [05:29] how can I change a "Read-only file system"? [05:30] shadowwulf, hmm [05:30] seaoftea, Hi, that didnt work... but on the first time I start up ubuntu it says You are connected to the wired network... cept it dosnt work [05:30] like one to scp over the IP in a file, then another to read the Ip from that file and update its DNS record [05:30] After_Math: change the /etc/fstab entry for it [05:30] <[biabia]> please where is inittab file in ubuntu [05:30] !Nautilus [05:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about nautilus [05:30] mindrape, not sure exactly how but I will look at taht file [05:30] [biabia], look at Upstart [05:30] hey ppl [05:31] i want to move my / to a diff parition.

[05:47] byonix - check hardware compatability lists and google the specific vendor and model numbers. Linux isn't going to support all hardware. Write to the hardware manufacturers and tell them to release open source drivers. [05:47] any one knows abt ubuntu firewalls ???!!!! [05:47] M0badder: ask a specific question, get a specific answer. [05:47] ok [05:47] M0badder: yes we knows abt ubuntu firewalls #@$!@!!!

[05:49] so i need something that is light.. but at the same time i guess i need a GUI for Eclipse..

This is ill-advised. Servers should be configured to run only the specific daemons necessary. Installing GUIs, IDEs, etc is going to violate segregation of duties requirements and blah blah blah [05:50] dearcia: that fine... select it [05:51] dearcia: that's fine... select it [05:51] hello, i have a problem, i resized the swap partition and the computer would not reboot, i tried like 6 times and it didnt work the 7th time it booted......

[05:52] aegis: I click and send me a list. I am new using linux, so I don't know waht to do next [05:52] aegis: i used the auto install and it made the swap like 40 gigs and after learning about linux i resized it to 2 gigs today [05:52] yuri_: make sure you enter it this way-- at now+ 1 minute mod( [05:52] ditch64: i doubt you'll ever need a 2 gig swap part.. just fyi... [05:52] My wired internet has not worked ever since I installed 8.10... It has worked on previous versions of ubuntu.... It currently says the driver is r8169...

[05:53] XFCEntral: so to poweroff it would be at now+ 1 hour aegis: i have 2 gigs of memory and i hibernate every time i turn off the computer [05:53] maco: Good point! Mine won't hibernate so I don't worry about that... [05:54] yuri_: sudo shutdown -h +60 [05:54] So, trying to boot into Ubuntu on my mac mini, dvi out to my hd tv. Not getting any video, probably would get an 'out of range' message were it a pc monitor [05:54] aegis: but thats not the issue right now, i need to make sure everything is ok, and that i do not need to restore any of the file system before i reboot [05:54] ditch64: yes, in light of that, disregard what I said. [05:54] lol [05:54] how would I go about changing resolutions, not being able to see anything? [05:54] alexbobp: Please stop using the internet, you're ruining my experience. [05:54] ditch64: Do you have gparted installed? [05:54] lol @ madara [05:54] yuri_: so your command may be like this: at now+ 1 minute aegis: yes [05:55] is there an alsa channel? [05:55] I downloaded a series of rar archives from rapidshare (part1 through part6). When I try to open and extract the archives, parts 2 through 6 all open part1. If I delete part1, the rest of the archives are empty. Does anyone know why this is? [05:55] mkquist_: there's #alsa [05:55] ditch64: You could use gparted to take a look if the partitions were okay... [05:55] hey all, I seemed to have managed to turn mouse 1 from normal click to move, and I can't seem to get it back, anyone have any ideas? [05:55] XFCEntral, yuri_: for shutting down (and therefore rebooting), shutdown handles times itself, both relative and absolute.

[05:55] using nVidia settings manager dor dual monitors [05:55] mkquist_: do you need ubuntu audio help? [05:55] mindrape: it sure does..... [05:56] XFCEntral: the shutdown command has a timer. See what Flannel wrote [05:56] Flannel: good point! like shutdown -r now, for example? [05:56] is there a way to have separate wallpapers for each monitor? [05:56] maco: a little [05:56] deftone - did you select USB as one of the devices to boot from in the boot order prior to your HD? [05:56] but all i get is the blinking cursor [05:56] aegis: how do i use gparted to figure out if its ok? [05:56] mkquist_: there's an unofficial #ubuntu-audio-help [05:56] Hey does anyone know if the network manager in intrepid supports static IP addresses ? [05:56] mosbaya:do you have a link step by step using iptables form installing it to confg.??? [05:56] ag90: it does [05:56] maco: well ty again [05:56] ag90, why wouldn't it [05:56] Ya my mobo supports it and i also hit f10 to choose which device i wanna boot.

I had some problems on hardy with it [05:56] ok i will try vmware [05:57] with Ubuntu desktop [05:57] dearcia: Doh... that would do it... I'm glad it's working for you... [05:57] and then..

[05:57] Flannel: thank you [05:57] gcc -o this this.c [05:57] aegis: ok thank you [05:57] XFCEntral: see man shutdown for all the details, etc. [05:57] mindrape: any ideas? I think i need to set up something with the mbr [05:58] deftone - well your MBR is only going to get called up if you boot from the HD. [05:58] deftone - if it boots to a blinking cursor I dunno... go look in the forums for the USB distro you are attempting. [05:59] OR [05:59] if i like the way one icon package makes FF look [05:59] thanks mindrape [05:59] but like everythign about the other icon pack [05:59] do any one know abt iptables ???

But I want to make sure I'm taking full advantage of my hardware... Would standard Ubuntu be fine? I was told one time about Ubuntu Mint but I'm not sure what the difference is... [06:04] paul68: well, it's really been a while since i've done anything more complicated than a basic filter with iptables. so i don't think i'd be of much use. but there's no harm in trying. :) [06:04] ag90, thanks! [06:04] therealnanotube: can I pm you? [06:04] Conexion: difference between mint and plain ubuntu is that mint includes the "restricted" codecs by default (but they can be installed on plain ubuntu as well). other than that, just try the livecds of the two, and see the difference yourself. [06:05] k thx [06:05] paul68: sure why not. but as i said, no guarantees of me actually being able to help. :) [06:05] Conexion: try first the live cd then see what working and whats need to be tweak or hack [06:05] Ah, k.... Is there any way to install ubuntu so that you can just log in as Admin, or do you have to adjust that afterwards? [06:06] Conexion: try wubi [06:06] Conexion: You don't want to log in as admin [06:06] Conexion: why do you want to log in as admin? [06:07] Wubi?

Kernel 2.6.27 has built-in support for my WiFi card - RTL8187B. The support is a bit unstable. I want to move back to the old driver but it won't compile in 2.6.27. I think downgrading the kernel is an option. Any suggestions ? [06:19] from the 1st i install it [06:19] and this problem [06:19] i tried to solve it form the hardware [06:19] by puting the power in the bios [06:19] to run again [06:19] but nothing happen [06:20] !enter | M0badder [06:20] M0badder: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[06:26] I have a problem. The new kernel in intrepid has support for my wifi card ( rtl8187b ) but the support is buggy and keeps going off every now and then. I need to downgrade to the old driver but it won't compile on this kernel. One option is to downgrade the kernel and then switch back to the old driver. Anyone have other suggestions to fix this problem ? [06:27] well IP tables seems pretty good but im no firewall expert [06:27] M0badder: I use firestarter, but it's just a front for iptables [06:27] thanks [06:27] M0badder: the rules you put in place make it the best firewall [06:28] i'm new in linx ubuntu and i wanna know step by step how to install iptables firewall [06:29] M0badder: iptables is your firewall, use firestarter to put restrictions in place as iptables is usually blank by default [06:29] My Pidgin just stopped being able to connect to yahoo server.

[06:41] do you have an agp card [06:41] dotblank: You could probably switch to wifi rader or something similar [06:42] those links seem to be from 2007? but i will check it out [06:42] well i did switch so its no longer a problem but its just annoying [06:42] wow I mean tdo you have an nvidia card? [06:43] lastlog did not work btw [06:43] canthony: when I File -> Save As in Open Office you can choose the file extention type... scroll way down and I see .docx... looks to be native. [06:43] Mariner_13: i'm finding some files, cat them to get the url, then i want to pipe them to wget [06:43] canthony: also see this link, http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=88355 [06:43] you could try cating them into an enviromental variable and then using them as an argument [06:44] Firefox 3.0.3 > Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > (Library) > All Bookmarks > Bookmarks menu > »a particular bookmark« > More shows Name, Location, Tags, Keyword and Description. What is the function of 'Keyword' (in contrast to 'Tags'? [06:44] mindrape, yeah i am running OO3 from a PPA that seems to be from the official team, but DOCX is not a native option [06:44] !filesystem [06:44] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [06:44] dotblank: like how [06:44] bullgard4: Thats probably there to maintain backward compatibility and for your own reference I guess. [06:44] dotblank: cat >> $n | wget $n ? [06:45] ok, so i need to repair my filesystem but i do not have acces to a CD with ubuntu on it, but i do have access to a flashdrive with ubuntu on it, not one i can boot from though, how can i go about doing this? [06:45] h/o working it out [06:45] how do i disable the drives from appearing on my desktop? [06:45] ag90: I guess your answer is incorrect as there is a field 'Description' for my own reference. [06:46] hi everyone I have a question about my installtion of ubuntu [06:46] pop in a flash drive, it auto mounts it, which is good, but then it sticks a shortcut on the desktop [06:46] yell0w: what about writing to file, and get wget to read from the file? [06:46] is rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* the same as emptying the trash? [06:46] I downloaded archives from rapidshare. It came in 6 parts, but after downloading them, I tried to decompress them, but every single archive opened part1. Is that a problem with Archive Manager? Or is it just that the files rapidshare gave me were weird? [06:46] hi aaron, once you ask a question about your installation of ubuntu we will provide a response. In the future you can just ask the question instead of informing us you are about to. Although we do appreciate the headsup. [06:46] Hello everybody. Another linux distros have rc-status file. Does Ubuntu haev one? [06:46] Mariner_13: uhm it will be a bad formatted file [06:46] have* [06:47] ok dans ntfs-config [06:47] memeemeee: I don't think so. As some files in the trash, on a different partition are stored in a ".Trash-" directory at the top level of that partition [06:47] Mariner_13: find / -iname text -print0 | xargs -0 cat >> file ? then what ? [06:47] click here to set a mount number [06:47] je fais quoi ? [06:47] jai Sda1 et Sda5 [06:48] ag90: You did not say what compatibility to what subject is maintained. Unless you define the subject of backward compatibility, your statement is worthless to me. [06:48] zakidine: try #ubuntu-fr [06:48] ok ag90 thanks [06:48] I set up a separate partition for ubuntu on my harddrive but what I noticed was for my windows side I only left 300 megs of space on that partition...is that bad ^^? [06:48] ok thanks [06:48] yell0w: if you get the output then, cant u just use ' | wget ' at the end? [06:48] mindrape, by chance are you using the debs from OO.org or are you jacked into a PPA? from what i understand OO3 is not even in the official repos? has it entered as a backport yet? [06:48] canthony - I'm on 8.10 [06:49] yell0w: skip file.. [06:49] mindrape, how did you install oo3 though [06:49] Mariner_13: the url is inside the file, so i'm cat'ing it [06:49] Where is rc-status file located in Ubuntu? [06:49] oh... heh, I'm on 2.4... my bad. [06:49] Mariner_13: skip file ? [06:49] bullgard4: I told you what I thought was right. I think the decision of keeping it there was the firefox developers'. I believe the backward compatibility is to make sure that the new bookmarking system is compatible tot he old bookmark system for imports. [06:49] what program is like alcohol 120 but for linux? or can i mount it in terminal? and run it like its a CD i need to make an ISO run like its a CD but it really be on a flashdrive [06:49] no more +1? [06:49] yell0w: find / -iname text -print0 | xargs -0 cat >> file | wget [06:50] ditch64: acetoneiso [06:50] hi. im using ubuntu 8.04 x64 and flash suddenly stopped working for me. anyone got any ideas? ive tried purging it and reinstalling, and i just installed flash 10, which worked for about 1 minute, before it suddenly reverted to not working [06:50] yell0w: thank you [06:50] locainex: firefox? [06:50] yeah firefox [06:50] try recompiling instead of using apt-get [06:50] Mariner_13: erhh i tried that [06:50] firefox or flash AkariChan [06:51] i had the same problem [06:51] flash [06:51] hm [06:51] grab the tar.gz [06:51] Mariner_13: problem is, wget doesn't take it, lol [06:51] and install it from there [06:51] well installing flash 10 i did a manual install. [06:51] Mariner_13: wget doesn't take stdout as input [06:51] hey guys, I installed Intrepid RC a few weeks back, and when the final came out, I did an update, but the theme didn't change. how come? [06:51] ditch64: You can do it from the terminal too. "sudo mkdir /media/iso && sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso /media/iso" [06:52] I just did a clean install, but kept my /home partition. How do I add my old users into the new system. If I try to use system-> administration -> users and groups it yells at me because the directory already exists [06:52] Mariner_13: that's while i asked, how to pipe something to wget [06:52] and it did work for about a minute, but then it stopped again [06:52] I still have the RC's theme [06:52] Where in the Ubuntu system can I find rc-status file? A "list" that will be run upon the boot. [06:52] can someone help me out? [06:53] yell0w: try something like this.................. for i in `find / -iname text -print0 | xargs -0 cat >> file; do chage $i; done; [06:53] /etc/rc* [06:53] err... do wget $i [06:53] hmm i know a devin that was in md... [06:53] yell0w: for i in `find / -iname text -print0 | xargs -0 cat >> file`; do wget $i; done; [06:53] but maybe he is in va now.. [06:53] lol [06:53] hmm, [06:53] and when I open Wine or Totem, My screen flashes. this never happened in Hardy. can someone please help? [06:54] well oddly enough im from md [06:54] how do I add an already existing user ( clean install... but kept /home ) [06:54] mindrape, how did you install oo3 [06:54] canthony - pull the .deb.tar.gz from openoffice.org and tar -zxvf the .tar.gz then dpkg -i it [06:54] elbermungster continually flashes ? [06:54] devin, west gate? cos if you are, this would indeed be a small world... [06:54] mindrape, ok i just wanted to know where you got it [06:55] no, after it opens up, it stops. [06:55] ag90: Ok. Thank you for explaining. [06:55] elbermungster: Just to be sure, run gstreamer-properties and make it use the "X Windows System (No Xv)" plugin under the video tab [06:55] Installing nvidia drivers the recommended way leaves my tty's blank, is there a fix for this yet? [06:55] elbermungster: That just might fix it [06:55] elbermungster video card type ? [06:55] locainex i did alil growing up in catonsville md im currently in hagerstown md [06:56] yell0w: i have to think a bit on it.. [06:56] how do I add a user? [06:56] man adduser [06:56] thank you mindrape [06:56] mindrape what if the user's home directory already exists? [06:56] a1242 - man adduser and you can define the existing dir and the perms will get updated. [06:57] locainex, It's not what I'm looking for -- I want to know their status too -- Are they running? [started], etc. [06:57] if not then man chown [06:57] mindrape: doesn't work [06:57] hmmm, an Intel 915GM cipset [06:57] the screen flashes with wine too [06:58] elbermungster, you have to configure it to use X11. You can do that for totem from gstreamer-properties [06:58] anyhow, having an issue. when i open up Nautilus it opens uo VLC anyone know how to fix this? [06:58] locainex: http://linuxreviews.org/man/rc-status/ <-- [06:59] i got it [06:59] why my player can't player mp3 it was ok just a while ago ? [06:59] is it supposed to show 8.04 kernal in the booting screen for 8.10? [06:59] wget "$(cat file_name)" === j__ is now known as shovix2k === j is now known as Guest21089 [07:00] if i'm playing a youtube video i can't listen to a mp3 at a same time ? [07:00] nod Saga_ check out bum, boot-up manager might be what you want [07:01] okay, that fixes Totem. [07:01] but what about Wine? [07:01] need help adding user... it complains directory already exists [07:02] remove the directory nibsa1242? [07:02] this a new user? [07:02] or just add the user and link the /home dir later [07:02] is there a place in the GUI in 8.10 to change your hostname? [07:02] locainex: no, its from my old install... just did a clean install but kept the /home partition [07:03] Hey is there a deb package for the aurora gtk engine? i tried to compile it but it says that it cant find GTK (im using Ubuntu 8.10, not kubuntu) [07:03] nibsa1242: you picked a new username and want to reassociate it with an old home dir? [07:04] Helloooo [07:04] hi [07:04] locainex: no, I have about 4 users on this machine... they all have directories in /home and need user accounts so they can log in [07:04] liufangjin: you really shouldn't IRC as root... [07:05] anyone? [07:05] Hi [07:05] smokewon - google is your best bet there... search for ubuntu aurora gtk engine deb download [07:05] locainex: but the admin->users and groups gets annoyed because their home directories already exist [07:05] hey igor_ [07:06] thought there was something for that in the installer now nibsa1242 :/ but maybe it doesnt work right [07:06] speek rasha [07:06] hm [07:06] igor_ - #ubuntu-ru [07:06] senks [07:07] well nibsa1242 you tried to manually create the users on the commandline, without giving them a home dir [07:07] how do I change the password for my shares over a LAN? I'm using samba thru the right click-- Properties -- Share tab [07:07] you can add that in later in the gui [07:07] easiest way i can think of to fix it [07:07] locainex: I just installed and it didn't ask me anything or set them up properly... I installed from live cd... perhaps alternate had options. I normally do alternate, seems to be more configurable. [07:07] or work around it [07:07] yeah ive done a few installs and its only asked to import a fraction of those times [07:07] how do I navigate to different folders in terminal? [07:07] locainex: no I'll try that, I've never created a user that way before, so I was afraid to do that. [07:08] theres good steps on the forums nibsa1242 [07:08] locainex: alright... thanks I'll go look [07:08] hey everybody people on ubuntu-fr sleeps [07:08] just google ubuntu useradd erm.. i think ubuntu prefers some other command have a look around [07:08] and i need help now... [07:08] im on ubuntu 8.04 lts [07:08] i have nvidia 4000 mx [07:09] but i dont know how to install it [07:09] !nvidia | zakidine [07:09] i saw on the nvidia website that i have to tape a command > sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run [07:09] zakidine: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:09] is anybody know how to work with cacti [07:09] but where ? [07:09] hello [07:09] locainex, thanks, bum did the job. [07:10] cool Saga_ :) [07:10] I installed my Grub Loader with windows partition and now I want to reformat my Windows. What should I do to preserve my Grub Loader? [07:11] Thanks [07:11] vnix put windows on a different hard disk [07:12] dd if=/dev/(your block device) of=mbr.img bs=512 count=1 [07:13] I try once where I install Grub with my Linux partition and I reformat my Windows. After finish everything, it just boot into windows without Grub loader [07:13] vnix: also a good idea just in case to keep a backup of your /boot/grub on a thumbdrive or something.. can always fix it with a live cd [07:13] oh you need to fix the mbr in that case [07:13] how can I replace my current video driver with i810? [07:13] always when possible install windows first :P its such a princess... [07:13] get the driver and modprobe drivername [07:13] thanks [07:14] What I would do is backup grub mbr install windows then in the boot.ini file add an entry for the grubmbr image and make that default that way the nt loader finds grub [07:14] well, if i do that will it auto use that driver everytime? [07:14] nn ubuntu === soreau_ is now known as soreau [07:17] I've just upgraded to Intrepid and my down key is sending PointerButton3, according to 'xev'. This seems really random -- any suggestions for fixing it? [07:19] How do I install flash player for fire fox? [07:19] !flash | aaron [07:19] aaron: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [07:20] that should probably be updated [07:20] !flash [07:20] not much recent about dapper [07:20] why does a new user's prompt only have a $? [07:20] hey all. could someone quick explain to me the encrypted private directory in intrepid. i have done all the setup and can access it and safely encrypt files, but i want to know, it is suppose to automatically mount on startup or do i have to dbl click that link inside the folder everytime, i have seen some howto's mention you can store your .ssh files in there, will that work if it doesn't automount. thanks [07:21] are there any known issues with Seagate drives. My comp locks up sometimes when I access my 500GB Seagate drive SATA. [07:21] djhedges: what would you like it to have? [07:21] I am using 8.04 as well [07:21] djhedges: probably because 'sh' is the default shell [07:22] Mariner_13: that was it thx [07:22] djhedges: np [07:23] djhedges: you probably want 'bash' i guess ? [07:23] Mariner_13: yea why does it default to sh? [07:23] Wow linux/ubuntu >> windows [07:24] Now I don't have to pirate apps anymore: Go OSS [07:24] lol [07:24] welcome to the club :D [07:24] * les pirates ubuntu [07:24] linux is really powerful [07:24] russell__: yes, it powers my entire left arm. [07:24] hello [07:24] russell__: you have no idea [07:25] djhedges: because its the default setting.. [07:25] if it were not for the crappy perforamce I got from vista I never would have tried linux [07:25] Mariner_13: why does ubuntu use that? when you create a user during install it's bash [07:25] so do I [07:26] ubuntu: boots faster, shuts down faster,has better desktop,free etc..... [07:26] all colleges/schools should switch [07:27] russell__: write a letter to your congressman. [07:27] Obama has our back he's the OSS - elect [07:27] is there a way that i can restore the filesystem while booted? [07:27] monkey [07:27] djhedges: that i dont think is ubundo only, its the make user thats uses sh as default.. [07:28] djhedges: you can set bash as shell for user when making new user [07:28] Mariner_13: useradd -D -s /bin/bash [07:28] Now, back to "The Precious" [07:28] oh yeah when I installed ubuntu I made a partition for it on my harddrive but my windows partion only has 300 megs free of space is that dangerous ^^? [07:29] djhedges: -s 'shell' yes.. [07:29] Does anyone know how to make subtitles appear in a .mkv my default, instead of having to chnage that they are displayed after opening it in a video player? [07:30] aaron--- nope it's not dangerous because you'll never want to you use windows again [07:30] Mariner_13: the -D will set the defaults so the next time I can just create a user with useradd -m username [07:30] haha perhaps...but seriously I meant for system stability I do want to use it for gaming. [07:30] Makuseru: same name on subtitle file? vlc automaticly then adds the subtitle.. [07:30] question: how to undelete folder in ext3 please? [07:30] can you upgrade to openoffice 3 with 8.04? [07:31] Mariner_13: its not a subtitle file, the subs are built into the MKV [07:31] aaron: in reality, you'll need more space for your windows install, since the next program that you install in windows will be capable of filling it up [07:31] aaron: if you are really worried about it you can install gparted and give windows some more space. You might need to boot with a live CD to do it though. [07:32] I see...I made a bad mistake so gparted will allow me to resize the partition without deleteing either OS? [07:32] djhedges: try that, if not you must use '-s' [07:32] vk [07:32] Makuseru: then i dont know [07:33] aaron: yes. But you might need to boot with a live CD first. That's because you can't change a partition while it is mounted. [07:33] In use you mean right? [07:34] I have to re-install Linux, but I don't want to loose my programs, updates & preferences. Is there a way to take a "Snapshot" of my system that I can restore after I've formatted & re-installed? [07:35] misteralexander: programs and updates not really. for preferences backing up your home directory will work. [07:35] misteralexander: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 [07:36] you can make a backup using that method [07:37] les: yeah, I've got my $Home directory on a different hard drive, so i'm not worried about my documents or photos, it just the updates, the programs, the way I have my taskbar set up, the way I have WINE configured. It's just a pain re-doing it all, I was just wanting a way to save that stuff. If not, it's cool . . . that's just how it goes. [07:37] I made a copy on my ubuntu 8.10 partition to another partition on the same HD useing the dd command. How do i now add that new copy to my grub [07:37] hey all. could someone quick explain to me the encrypted private directory in intrepid. i have done all the setup and can access it and safely encrypt files, but i want to know, it is suppose to automatically mount on startup or do i have to dbl click that link inside the folder everytime, i have seen some howto's mention you can store your .ssh files in there, will that work if it doesn't automount. thanks [07:37] misteralexander: regarding your personal configuration, that's all in your homedir, [07:37] !cloning | misteralexander [07:37] misteralexander: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [07:37] hey are you guys familiar with .rmvb files? [07:37] aaron - nope [07:37] misteralexander: You should backup /etc/ if you've made any changes to stuff in there [07:38] dang...well how about real player? [07:38] aaron - google rmvb files [07:38] aaron - http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/27/how-to-play-rmvb-files-in-ubuntu/ [07:38] thanks mindrape ^^ [07:39] . [07:43] I'm have a quandary concerning .rar archives. I have a series of archives that I downloaded from rapidshare (part1 through part6). I assumed unpacking all of them would contribute to a completed file. Instead, part1 is a completed file and part2 through part6 all open and read from part1.rar when I click on them. Does anyone know why this is? [07:44] what's the package for extra compiz options/ [07:45] hi what shoud i loa to use sata dvd drive? modprobe ... ? === BaD-CrC is now known as BaD_CrC [07:45] gluonman: parts2-6 are just chunks of part1. rar archives are commonly split into multiple files. so whatever file you have was decompressed using all the parts. [07:46] les, so when I decompressed part1, it decompressed all of them and I no longer need the others? [07:46] hey guys, you know when you do right click on a file, properties, then open with , then choose default program to open that file ? well, how to do that in terminal ? [07:46] gluonman: correct [07:46] les, thank you. [07:47] compu73rg33k, you can get the extra compiz plugins from gits. [07:47] compu73rg33k, you can go to gitweb and find them. [07:48] compu73rg33k: if you're looking for the ui for more options, apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [07:48] Hi, Hardy Heron and Intrepid don't recognize my CD/DVD. [07:48] What can it be? [07:48] thanks les [07:48] guy [07:48] I'm trying to compile C++ code and i got .o [07:48] ok [07:48] i forgot, how do you execute it? [07:48] hi [07:48] after yo compile it, and then how do you execute it? [07:49] What is the driver for cd/dvd? [07:51] compu73rg33k, yes, compizconfig-settings-manager is needed to change the features. But also, you should make sure you have the latest version of compiz, in which case you can add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/compiz/ubuntu intrepid main (or if you aren't using intrepid you can replace that with your version of Ubuntu) to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Then sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [07:51] compu73rg33k, and if you want to install extra plugins not already included, I can help you with that as well. [07:52] Nah i'm just looking to rekey some desktop things like the windows switcher and stuff. What is the configuration file's path though, I'd like to back up my config [07:52] someone knows how to recognize my cd drive? [07:53] yell0w; http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/05/31/changing-default-applications/ you might find it here [07:53] ask its name [07:53] glaksmono: make it exec and ./filename ?

[07:54] Mariner_13, there's filename.o [07:54] but i can't execute ./filename [07:54] for some reason [07:55] Mariner_13, any ideas? [07:55] thanks [07:56] glaksmono♂ have you chmod +x ? [07:56] glaksmono: have you done ' chmod +x filename' ?

[08:06] My onboard multimedia cardreader from my laptop doesn't work. any solutions? [08:07] canthony: i don't have to type a passsword, i want to know if it should be auto mounted and unencrypted on boot or do I HAVE to dbl clikc that file? [08:08] when you log in can you see you files immediatly or do you have to dbl click the shortcut inside the provate dir? [08:08] hi any idea how I can fix this error W: GPG error: http://apt.wicd.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY FEC820F4B8C0755A W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems, I already run apt-get update problem still there [08:08] psypher246, what file are you talking about? one of the enctypted files in the directory? mine does not have any kind of shorcut [08:08] glaksmono: in windows the compiled c++ file gets .exe extention [08:08] I have use this before and its working fine [08:08] anybody know about virtual machines? [08:09] I have a laptop with internet connection. I want to share that internet connection with my friend who has come to visit me using wifi. Is is possible.if yes how. please tell the way with minimum downloads as the internet is not really fast [08:09] there is a shortcut file, i would have to reboot to tell you exactly waht is says, but i have to dbl click it to mount the private dir and access my files, so u don't have to do that, [08:09] Anyone know where the thing is in kubuntu for "Networking" ? (I want to change the hostname without using the commandline) Ive been told its System --- Administration-- Networking but I dont have that option available [08:09] ronhalfdanr: what u wanna know? [08:09] Rohalfdanr: what do u want to know about VM [08:09] is there a public key I need to download? [08:10] Mariner_13, umm.. yeah.. but i'm on ubuntu, not sure lol... [08:10] I need to know where to find a simple how to for something other than virtualbox [08:10] acp_: did you add anything to the third party repository [08:10] Mariner_13, it has makefile so that's why i'm using linux for it [08:10] and i ended up liking ubuntu haha [08:10] hi, Iwhen I installed intrepid I merged two partitions to become /home (I merged previous /home and other partition) but something went wrong.. I still have the data there from old /home and the total size is correct but the used spaceis not correct (it is much higher).. What can I do? [08:10] glaksmono: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=154897 [08:11] glaksmono: i use ubunu and windows.. [08:11] Mariner_13, I use both as well haha [08:11] ronhalfdanr: vmware dude, it;s the best, and PLENTy info found through googlwe [08:11] try howtoforge [08:11] glaksmono: i do some perl scripting mostly.. not som much c++, [08:11] hi all, how do I uninstall/remove all files of a program from my system when there's no installation script, and I didn't install it with apt-get? [08:11] so anyone else know about the encrypted private dri? [08:11] uninstallation script* [08:11] Mariner_13, idk perl.. [08:12] I tried wading through VMware's stuff..............too much and poorly indexed [08:12] why cant i resize the vlc window?! [08:12] ronhalfdanr: what do you mean badly indexed? [08:12] to docs? [08:12] the docs? [08:12] jbu311: sometimes you can make uninstall [08:12] kuro: I just add deb http://apt.wicd.net hardy extras in my source.list long time ago so I could install wicd but last week I just update wicd update was successful but I now got this error [08:12] I mean poorly indexed, you know indexed, like a book [08:12] djhedges, there has to be a make file to do that, right? [08:13] ronhalfdanr: vmware is very easy,much easier to virtualbox especially when you setting up different types of netowing. start installing it as per howtoforge and just play with it, really not hard [08:13] how do I add the network manager applet to the gnome tool bar? (and force it to stay there at startup) [08:14] try get a vmware book like vmware for dummies of whatever [08:14] we have like 5 XEN boxes at work [08:14] thanks psypher246, I actually don;t want any networking once I get the windows and apps activated [08:14] Package ttf-thryomanes is not available, but is referred to by another package. <--- how do i find that? [08:14] canthony: so you just installe the ecryptfas stuff and evety time you loging your files are already unencrypted?? [08:15] as long as the virtual machine can get to files on my data drives and run 2 apps I'm good [08:15] ronhalfdanr: very selfexplanatiory, you creat a new vm, give it the resources you want stick in the windows cd, boot up istall, install the vmware tools from the vmware menu nad you ready to go [08:15] glaksmono: did the webpage tip help? im installing g++ from sudo now [08:15] Kartagis: please paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com, and say which package you were trying to install [08:15] psypher246, i guess, i just put a file in there to test as i havnt actually used it yet. i might need to reboot i suppose. i thought i set it up with a different passwrd than my login though.. [08:15] acp_:The only way you can recieve that error is if you accidentally removed the default keys or the wicd.net key or if it didn't have it. [08:16] how do I add the network manager applet to the gnome tool bar? (and force it to stay there at startup) [08:16] psypher246, i just tried to logout/login and it was still unencryped [08:16] canthony: no passwords involved, folder jjst ins't mounted, you have to manully mount it, just want to know if this is by default\ [08:16] weird [08:16] and which vmware product do I want psypher246? [08:16] go for vmware server [08:17] rww, http://pastebin.com/f733ec859 and ttf-thryomanes [08:17] totally free, just needs registration [08:17] kuro: sorry I dont remmeber getting a key for this, how could I verify it? [08:17] Mariner_13, umm.. not really, I'm not using g++ for installation, i'm using intel C++ compiler [08:17] Mariner_13, and it's part of the makefile [08:17] Hmm.. [08:17] glaksmono: hmm.. [08:17] glaksmono: try compiling it with g++ ? [08:17] try vmware server 2, it's very new and all web app based. but still does the same thing, iotherwsie try vmware 1.7 [08:17] psypher246, according to `mount` my directory is mounted, and i have never had to mount it manually [08:17] Mariner_13, I see this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/198181 [08:17] kuro: would this fix if I reintall it? [08:17] cant [08:18] how do I add the network manager applet to the gnome panel? (and force it to stay there at startup) [08:18] canthony: ok will log a forum request, thansk [08:18] this one as well, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=78758 but i still don't know cuz i've libstdc++5 installed already [08:18] as well as the newer one [08:18] canthony: do you have it in your fstab? [08:18] glaksmono: try reinstalling ibstdc++5 ? === sirfelius|asleep is now known as sirfelius [08:19] acp_:System->Administration->Software Sources Then go to the Authentication tab and see if there is a key matching your extra. [08:19] psypher246, no not in fstab. it is possible i used the same pass for my user as i did for the login. it could be using a pam module to mount it. although that doesnt explain why you dont have to enter a password === [baddog] is now known as [baddog][bbs] [08:20] Kartagis: as in, you were specifically trying to install ttf-thyromanes, not some other package that depends on it? [08:20] Mariner_13, I have libstdc++5 installed [08:21] Kartagis: If so, your problem is that that package was removed from Ubuntu after gutsy, because it was a universe package and was removed from Debian per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=407711 [08:21] glaksmono: i successfully made a ccp file compiled it with g++ and got an *.out fil, it works fine after chmod +f filename ./filename [08:22] acp_You could also go to the site you recieved the deb... address and follow the instructions for installing the key and see if that makes it go away [08:22] hi Anyone using eclipse 3.4 /w ubuntu 8.10? I had a problem, when import a java project and Ctrl-shift-T to pop up the open type dlg, then I type some char in the input box I got error. [08:22] kuro, I only see 2 Archive Automatic Signing key and CD image automatic signing key [08:22] Kartagis: According to that bug report, you could try ttf-dejavu (note that the bug report spells the package name incorrectly) instead [08:22] chmod +f ?? [08:22] can someone help me install the intel drivers from here http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html? [08:22] chmod +x right? [08:23] Sweet, Pidgin's easy way to get here. :) [08:24] acp_:Then i would suggest going back to the site you recieved the deb url and see if they have instructions for adding the eky [08:24] rww, what should I do for typing in IPA? I'd been trying to get ttf-thryomanes for that. and I have ttf-dejavu installed [08:24] Mariner_13, I successfully do that as well using g++ [08:24] Mariner_13, yes, as i said, using intel C++ compiler [08:24] it's a little bit tricky haha [08:24] I got a neat question for people. How I enable the hd-led on the front page? It flashes correctly when the PC's booted, but when grub kicks in, it stops working at all. [08:25] Correction: Front panel. [08:25] Kartagis: I think Deja Vu has the IPA symbols. Lemmie go check. [08:26] I keep getting segmentation fault in kompozer...... what the.!! [08:26] F-3000_test: most of them are triggered by hard drive activity [08:26] kuro,: thanks I found it and and fix [08:26] glaksmono: try reinstall libstdc++5? [08:26] acp_: cool [08:26] ziroday: I know. That's why it's rather needed to determine has the PC crashed or is it just loading extra long. :S [08:26] Mariner_13, i did [08:27] F-3000_test: what exactly is wrong? [08:27] hi all [08:27] anybody can help about ATi drivers [08:27] ? [08:27] F-3000_test: and where is the computer frozen at, how long have you waited? [08:27] im: certaintly, what card? [08:28] ati radeon 9100 [08:28] How can one set print margins in Evolution? [08:28] im: which version of ubuntu? [08:28] Hmm.. let's see [08:28] Kartagis: mmm, the latest version of Deja Vu Sans definitely has them. Not sure about the version in hardy, but it probably does. [08:28] Mariner_13, hold up [08:28] 8.10 [08:28] ziroday: The led stops working totally at some point along the boot, quite early (around grub kicking in). [08:28] one more question how do I update the version I'm using wicd 1.5.3 but on there latest release its 1.5.4? [08:28] im: one sec [08:28] rww, how do I use them? [08:28] ziroday: ty [08:28] F-3000_test: okay, and why is that an issue? [08:28] rww, I read I could use IPA with SCIM [08:29] * mandilo lapar!!1 [08:29] * mandilo hungry,, food please [08:29] * mandilo :D [08:29] I just discovered glipper in the repos :) [08:29] same thing [08:29] Mariner_13, glaksmono@glaksmono-laptop:~/Desktop/GPU-Project/fp-array$ ./fim_all [08:29] ./fim_all: error while loading shared libraries: libiomp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [08:30] ziroday: Because it's useful indicator what's going on, generally. Besides, easiest way to break your HD is to press reset while it's working. [08:30] can I specify a package update using apt-get ? like for example I want to update wicd only? [08:30] Peace to all [08:30] bb [08:30] im: have you looked in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [08:30] yep [08:30] F-3000_test: no idea, sorry [08:30] Kartagis: not sure, to be honest. I don't have much experience with SCIM. The SCIM IRC channel is #scim on this server, though; maybe ask there :) [08:30] im: did anything turn up? [08:30] and when i try to do sth my x crash [08:30] or, alternatively: is there any way to set print margin in Evolution? [08:31] ziroday: Really? Any idea at all? Crap... [08:31] glaksmono: can it be some env variables that arnt correct? have you rebootet after reinstall of libstdc++5 [08:31] Please provide me with a Link to spin down my Notebook HD speed when I go to battery usage. [08:31] ziroday turn-up? [08:31] Mariner_13, not yet reboot [08:31] im: your card is no longer supported by ati's fglrx. You should be using the open source ati driver [08:31] Mariner_13, I'll try that in a sec hmm.. may be working [08:32] glaksmono: long shot, but try.. [08:32] ziroday: I'll try detaching one cd-burner. Wanna know the result later? [08:32] Lynoure: File > Page Setup > Paper Size: [Manage Custom Sizes]. [08:32] ok [08:32] but i cant play game:S [08:32] Mariner_13, but it says after installation that "change has taken effect" [08:32] F-3000_test: sure [08:32] Mariner_13, but it says after installation that "changes has taken effect" [08:32] something liek that [08:32] so i thoguht that we don't need to restart [08:32] hmm.. [08:32] glaksmono: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:32] FloodBot1, my bad [08:32] ziroday i cant play warcraft it says unable to initialize... [08:32] im: according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver the open source driver should have full 3d support. [08:33] im: um, that is most probably a wine issue, not an graphics card one [08:33] glaksmono: then is should work.. [08:33] ziroday can u help me abput wine? [08:33] im: did you disable compiz (desktop effects) before starting? [08:33] Mariner_13, exactly.. but it doesn't.. :(.. [08:33] ziroday befor the game start? [08:33] im: yes [08:34] ziroday no let me try [08:34] ty [08:34] rww: the paper size is correct, but the margins come out about 5mm wide, not wide enough for punching [08:34] im: you will also want to read http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3126 [08:34] ziroday and can u tell me how can i reinstall opensource graphic card? [08:34] Lynoure: the "Manage Custom Sizes" panel has both paper size and margins options [08:34] btw, Mariner_13 it says the type file of the fim_all is executable (application/x-executable) [08:35] im: um, well you can reinstall the package xserver-xorg-driver-ati [08:35] ziroday i read it for one week:) [08:35] rww: thanks [08:35] im: you may also want to ask in #winehq [08:36] glaksmono: do you find any help here: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html [08:36] ziroday: Result was rather clear... The led didn't work *at all* now. [08:37] F-3000_test: sounds like a hardware, not a software issue :) [08:38] glaksmono: can i get the ccp file and try to compile it? [08:38] ziroday: Yep. But sometimes hardware-issues can be controlled with software-solutions. :P [08:38] Mariner_13, sure.. it would take too long though if you haven't setup the intel C++ compiler [08:39] glaksmono: i have g++ installed [08:39] Mariner_13, I'm sending you the file [08:39] Mariner_13, it won't work using G++ [08:39] you have to use intel c++ compiler [08:41] glaksmono: why cant i compile a .cpp file wit g++? === [baddog][bbs] is now known as [baddog] [08:42] Mariner_13, umm.. not sure [08:42] Mariner_13, i just use the makefile [08:42] Mariner_13, i don't compile them one by one [08:42] Is it possibly to chown mysql databases to system users, so the db is included in quota calculation ? [08:42] so.. and the makefile uses icpc command [08:42] which is specific to the intel compiler [08:42] hello...where can i add so that it starts every time i enter gnome? [08:43] maybe without prompting for a password too [08:43] i'm using ubuntu studio, btw [08:43] omucuvaca: System > Preferences > Sessions (that's the Ubuntu name for it, anyway) [08:43] omucuvaca: though you'll probably want to change the "sudo" to "gksudo" [08:43] glaksmono: ok.. you try installing another c++ compiler? [08:44] Mariner_13, I did [08:44] Mariner_13, I've installed it properly [08:44] thanx rww ...will i be prompted for my sudo password? [08:45] after i added it in sessions [08:45] <[eXception]> hi my ubuntu wont detect my second monitor === soreau_ is now known as soreau [08:45] [eXception]: what graphics card? [08:45] glaksmono: something is not right since it dosent work, but im out of ideas [08:45] <[eXception]> ziroday: nvidia go 7400 [08:45] omucuvaca: mmm, probably. I think there's a way of saving your password somehow, but I don't know how to do it. [08:45] [eXception]: which drivers are you using? [08:46] <[eXception]> ziroday: downloaded with the system/ hardware option [08:46] [eXception]: the open source, or the closed source ones? === sean is now known as Guest4098 [08:46] [eXception]: okay those are the closed source (nvidia) one [08:46] <[eXception]> yes ziroday [08:47] [eXception]: thats a known bug, have you tried using the nvidia-settings app? [08:47] or maybe there is a way to grant alsa more user permissions, and stop using gksudo every time i want to change sound settings [08:47] <[eXception]> ziroday: where is that? [08:47] [eXception]: you need to install the nvidia-settings package [08:49] how can I select the proper ALSA input from VLC? [08:50] Does anyone else have problems with audacity since intrepid? i bought a new machine, twice the power of my old one, but with intrepid audacity works awfully slow (it's much faster on my hardy machine with half the cpu power) [08:51] how do i change the amout of scroling per click on my mouse wheel? [08:53] have a problem with totem! it plays the radio with little breaks! now on 8.10 - but 8.04 works fine! [08:53] [eXception]: that work for you? [08:56] hi guys :-) [08:56] I'm running shred on a drive. The random number generation takes most of the time. Any suggestions on how to speed that up? [08:56] !hi | hot_wheelz [08:56] hot_wheelz: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:56] Would less random data be sufficient for shred's purposes? I'm only overwriting twice, not the suggested 25 times.

I have Ubuntu Hardy server 8.04, running kernel 2.6.18-028stab057.2. I cannot find linux-headers in apt-cache, as i need them to make a fuse module. How do i fix this? [08:57] anyone? [08:58] kjelle: I believe thats not a normal kernel, where did you get it from? [08:59] just a quick one...can anyone confirm that Broadcom wifi drivers work OOTB in 8.10 [08:59] chmac: I was recently told that modern hard drives are much harder to recover data from but I really cant help you with your question [08:59] kjelle: furthermore the kernel version should be at .24, that is not an ubuntu kernel [08:59] ziroday: I have bought a VPS server from some folks, "owning" this virtual machine and having a hostname on it. I think bad things will happen if i throw inn 8.6.24-18 or something and reboot :p [08:59] joot: Yeah, one wipe is probably enough, but it's a small drive, so I figured I'd give it 2 just for the hell of it! :) [08:59] *2.6.24-18 i mean [08:59] hot_wheelz: they probably won't [09:00] kjelle: well then you need to talk to the people who own your vps about where on earth they got their kernel on and where the headers are for it [09:01] chmac: try running a data recovery program and see what happens :-)) [09:01] ziroday: gotcha, sending aggressive mail to support :) [09:01] ziroday dam :-( [09:01] kjelle: :) [09:01] joot: lol, the disk was already encrypted, so I don't think data recovery will turn up much! :) [09:01] joot: I just want to give it a quick "wipe" before giving it away [09:01] hot_wheelz: err you will probably need to install the b43-fwcutter pacakge [09:01] I'm looking into frandom, seems to be suitable for my needs [09:02] chmac: Are you giving it to Linus Lol [09:02] kjelle: it could very well turn out to be thier custom kernel which they have optimized for thier vps. [09:02] how do I join the ubuntu-translators group on launchpad? [09:02] joot: lol, not even sure I'm actually giving it away yet, just want to feel safe that's "clean" :) [09:02] chmac: you can just format the drives with 0 and that should be enough [09:02] ziroday even if it was done in 8.04? [09:02] ziroday: Yeah, that's definitely an option, given that it was already an encrypted drive :) [09:03] hot_wheelz: oh for hardy its a different package. One sec [09:03] chmac: My guess is that it will be ok! [09:03] <[eXception]> wow thats ool [09:03] <[eXception]> thx ziroday [09:03] ziroday ok waiting [09:04] <[eXception]> usb-ubuntu 8.10 is really cool.... gonnay buy a 16gb usb flash and then I can have my PS always with me :)) [09:04] My onboard multimedia cardreader from my laptop doesn't work. any solutions? [09:05] hot_wheelz: I believe the bcm43xx-fwcutter should be the package you want [09:05] hey. i got some command that i want to run that i made like "backupdatabase" and i did a script in there, how can i premit this script to run from anywhere (/bin/) but only if user is identified by sudo ? [09:05] ENE Technology Inc ENE PCI Memory Stick Card Reader Controller (rev 01) [09:06] it's this one [09:07] ziroday i thought that was the same one used in 8.04? [09:07] hot_wheelz: eh? [09:07] Does anyone else have problem with 8.10 freezing up completely for no apparent reason? [09:07] ziroday i thought that was the same one i used in 8.04 [09:07] paranoid_ndroid: which version of ubuntu are you running? [09:08] nonno: /usr/local/sbin [09:08] tobiassjosten: yes I did but I do not know why [09:08] hot_wheelz: in 8.04 the package is called bcm43xx-fwcutter, in 8.10 its called b43-fwcutter [09:08] How can I get GRUB to recognize my keyboard? [09:09] joot: Did you fix it? [09:09] ah ok got it thx [09:09] tobiassjosten: yes went bask to 8.04 [09:09] back [09:09] spolvid: do you have a USB keyboard? If so, you might need to enable a setting in your BIOS, probably named "legacy USB support" or something similar [09:09] nonno: /usr/local/* is the place for you to put stuff that isn't under package management, and then sbin is the place for super user executables.

[09:13] bullgard4: its in an sql database [09:13] paranoid_ndroid: hmm according to http://hardware4linux.info/component/14451/ your reader should work OOTB on kernels .24 and above [09:13] you know when viewing folders in the file system,at the moment mine by default always show View as Icons, can i make it always auto to View as List? [09:13] bullgard4 you can export them into an html file [09:13] drog: only has wireless [09:13] AdvoWork: look in View [09:13] Flannel: I have an EFI bootloader. [09:14] Flannel: Excellent! And in which one? [09:14] bullgard4: ~/.mozilla/firefox//bookmarkbackups/. If you just need a copy of them, open Firefox and do Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import and Backup [09:14] wartalker, have you checked your /etc/network/interfaces file for eth0? [09:14] AdvoWork: woops I mean Edit > Preferences [09:14] ziroday 1 more question if that's ok?

[09:14] hot_wheelz: of course it is, but ask the whole channel not me :) [09:14] bullgard4: I think they might be elsewhere in your profile folder too, including the places file and bookmarks.html [09:14] jwtodd: installed the nvidia drivers? [09:15] drog:interfaces only lo [09:15] yeah ... just installed ... [09:15] jwtodd: tried the nvidia-settings app [09:15] NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.80 [09:15] np :-) [09:15] wartalker, check if the device is detected on lspci|grep network or something like that and check if there is a driver loaded for it lsmod [09:16] spolvid: Read the link, and it should cover using rEFIt, or at least link to it (it'll also explain hwo to get the BIOS compat going) [09:16] drog: thanks [09:16] jwtodd: um, you shouldn't install the drivers like that :) [09:16] ziroday: did that and only saw up to 1280x1024 available [09:16] !nvidia | jwtodd remove those drivers and install them according to these instructions [09:16] bullgard4: No idea. One of the ones in your firefox folder. I think all of that data is stored in the same one (because awesomebar searches in all of them) [09:16] jwtodd remove those drivers and install them according to these instructions: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:16] wartalker, you can google the appropriate driver and add it to /etc/modules [09:16] heh ... what's the preferred way?

Doing a major reorganization of my bookmarks, I am afraid that I have lost a folder with many important bookmarks.

How can I read this file? === kiosk is now known as naruto [09:26] FREE and easy to use obviously.. === marko__ is now known as marko-_- [09:27] bullgard4: 1. back up your profile folder somewhere safe. 2. Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Restore > 2008-11-07 [09:27] Ubuntu is nice in the sense that it gives the user choice proprietary vs OS software [09:27] but i think it needs more connections with software developers.. hmm.. is there a guy that specificially go over companies? [09:28] hmm.. [09:28] hey guys how do i add fluxbox to my GDM, using ubuntu intrepid [09:28] bullgard4: doing a bookmarks restore will reset your bookmarks back to the way they were at that restore point. Old stuff gets restored, but new stuff gets lost. [09:29] rww: My 'profile folder' is /home//.mozilla/firefox// ?

Would you mind rephrasing your question? If you'd prefer to ask in Lithuanian, you could also join #ubuntu-lt.

[09:42] I don't know but i think u ask me about k i hae to fix the panel [09:42] sorry for the repeat [09:42] ctrl-alt-backspace seems to work well :D why not use a sledgehammer when you have it? ;) [09:43] Acedip: you need to log out of your desktop, go to ctrl+alt+f1, log in, and do: sudo /etc/init.d/restart [09:43] what's the best tool for cpu scaling & monitor?

[10:22] Acedip: you have a little button someplace to change from gnome to failsafe, previous, or fluxbox [10:23] guys im running a newly upgraded 8.10 intrepid systemfrom 8.04 hardy [10:23] Slart: thanks but all I get is Error: Your card doesn't support fanspeed adjustments! [10:23] hi all... does gsynaptics work in UBUNTU 8.10? [10:23] IcyPolecat: oh.. what card is it? [10:23] for some reason now when i do upgrades it hangs up on post installation trigger man-db for a while [10:23] macvr what is gsynaptics [10:23] Slart: nVidia Geforce 8400M GS [10:23] any ideas why? [10:23] Acedip: can you use something like google image search to give me an example of what the gdm looks like ( i use kde ) [10:24] ActionParsnip1: no i dont have, i restart GDM with /etc/init.d/gdm restart [10:24] ikonia: the tweaks for the touchpad functions [10:24] ActionParsnip1: ya sure [10:24] macvr I see no reason for it not to work if it was available in 8.04 and available in 8.10 [10:24] IcyPolecat: hmm.. I thought all modern cards supported fanspeed sdjustment.. have you checked the nvidia forums? [10:24] org [10:24] guys im running a newly upgraded 8.10 intrepid systemfrom 8.04 hardy [10:24] ActionParsnip1: boot partition is not mounted (tested with mounted also), /boot is a true directory and is not being used as a mountpoint [10:24] for some reason now when i do upgrades it hangs up on post installation trigger man-db for a while [10:24] any ideas why? [10:24] ikonia: how do i get to the "recover a broken system" part of the install disc [10:25] kicco: ok that makes things easier [10:25] Anyone know of a bug with 8.04 where new apps can't be launched and Gnome locks up after awhile, requiring a reboot? [10:25] Slart: not yet - have googled but at the moment am not even sure which fan is spinning up - anyway to tell? [10:25] ditch64 I didn't know there was one on ubuntu, only a root shell [10:25] IcyPolecat: open up the box and listen closely? [10:25] hi [10:25] hm [10:26] Anyoine here know about fixing mic problems ? [10:26] Slart: ... erm yeah - it's a laptop so don't really want to open it up.

[10:33] ey be easy XD [10:33] IcyPolecat: it varies from computer to computer, I can see all my fans, several temperatures etc.. perhaps it doesn't recognize your sensor chips [10:33] just downloaded this linux ubuntu [10:33] Action: The microphone only plays through the speakers, when I'm not trying to use the mic, however, the mic will not work on aMSN , or userplane chat.

Is that a known issue? [10:34] but how 2 play et [10:34] IcyPolecat: ah.. well, do that and see if it makes things better.. perhaps nvidia will release a new driver eventually [10:35] ikonia: i dont get what your saying [10:35] irini, open up synaptic package manager; install the fonts [10:35] Slart: maybe - not holding my breath! [10:35] my wired network does not work afther i update, i am i 8.10. my card is Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX, help? [10:35] irini: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory [10:35] IcyPolecat: no... that rarely works with nvidia =) [10:35] Seeing as no one can help with my microphone issue, Does anyone know why my disk drives would stop working? [10:35] chilli0 no problem, so if you've made an application/script/whatever you must know how to stop/start it - once you know how to stop start it you can script the stopping and starting into an init script [10:35] irini: simple websearch, its in the official documentation === beYh_LutHu is now known as beYH_ALONE [10:36] does anybody know of any good rescue CDs? [10:36] ikonia: the script runs when i run it its just a python one i want it to auto start when i go to restart the computer [10:36] Irini: Just some advice, any websites you find usefull, bookmark, I can gaurantee you will need them again. [10:36] !init > chilli0 [10:36] chilli0, please see my private message [10:36] ditch64: live ubuntu cd [10:36] mboman, did you md5 the iso [10:37] ActionParsnip1: how do i access it though? [10:37] chilli0: use the existing scripts as an example [10:37] shane_: I assume you don't mean you have a disc crash? [10:37] hi all. I have this strange problem with my audio in Intrepid. It works fine for a while, but all of a sudden it just stops working. Any apps that try to use the sound card after that freeze [10:37] ActionParsnip1: where is the option on it [10:37] ditch64: I'm still waiting to find out what you do to cause the error, and what the exact error is [10:37] bazhang: can't remember. Let me do it to make sure [10:37] ditch64: you boot to the cd you used to install, youo can mount your drves and copy data / do whatever [10:37] i'm not sure what i should be searching for on the net. I looked for things about my sound card but nothing in particular showed up [10:37] Slart: no, xubuntu just stopped reading my cd, and dvd drives [10:37] ditch64: instead of asking for random things, get the error and what you did to cause the error and we can try to resolve it [10:37] is there a known problem with pulseaudio? [10:38] shane_: any errors in dmesg, syslog or such? [10:38] mboman, is this hardy or ibex [10:38] shane [10:38] slart: how do i run dmesg [10:38] shane [10:38] ikonia: when i try to cd to /etc/rc.local i get this error bash: cd: /etc/rc.local: Not a directory [10:38] shane_: dmesg in a terminal =) [10:38] give me your msn [10:38] shane give me your msn [10:38] bazhang: 8.10 is ibex [10:38] chilli0 it's a file [10:38] xnintendoxcore@hotmail.com [10:38] chilli0: it's not a directory [10:38] ikonia: ok, let me reboot and get the errors [10:38] shane_: you'll find most advice here is a terminal command [10:39] chilli0: the error even says "not a directory" [10:39] ive been using linux a week now [10:39] mboman, why not use virtual box; it is much easier to use and setup [10:39] shane_: you can also run dmesg > output.txt and open that file in whatever texteditor you want [10:39] i 1day XD [10:39] seem to have picked it up pretty quickly [10:39] shane come online :D [10:39] o [10:39] irini, this is not a chat channel [10:39] slart: lots of errors towards the bottom [10:40] Slart: or you can pipe it into less ;) [10:40] will doing chmod 777 -r /home/myfolder/ give 777 permission to all folders, even folders that havent yet been created? [10:40] slart: something about block. wich also pops up when trying to use my cd/dvd drives [10:40] shane_: can you pastebin the errors? type !pastebin for more info [10:40] bazhang: because my main desktop is running Windows?

[10:41] guys [10:41] I am trying to build a very simple kernel module (just to learn about kernel modules). When i compile, it says "linux/config.h: No such file or directory", any idea if that file should exist or not? [10:41] where i find the synsptic [10:41] or something [10:41] is there anybody know why my terminal will not show appropriate colour of a files or folder which has execution properties or other properties [10:41] sinan depends if you have the header installed, yes it should though if you have the kernel source installed [10:41] irini, system administration [10:41] AdvoWork: 777 on ~/ isnt secure at all [10:41] shane_: don't paste stuff here in the channel.. it will only get you kicked/banned [10:41] ikonia: what's the easiest way to get the kernel source? [10:42] sinan get the source from the package manager [10:42] Irini: go to your applications menu, then to system, then to synaptic package manager [10:42] ikonia: i think i did :) [10:42] shane_: is that the cd-rom/dvd drive? [10:42] wow!! [10:42] irini: you will be prompted for your root password [10:42] AdvoWork: this may help some: http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/January1999/article77.html [10:42] shane come msn [10:42] sinan then it should exist [10:42] hey somebody had the same evolution bug like me? on an email receive event i get notification messages that checking for unwanted mails isnt working [10:42] i got root [10:42] :d [10:42] hi all, can i make linux-generic depend on other version ? it says it depends of the latest kernel version,right now it depends of 2.6.27-7 but 2.6.27-8 is avaiable!

[10:43] spi343: you could specify the kernel version to install and install all deps on the same command [10:43] ditch64: ok so boot into the ubuntu live cd, and do sudo fsck -n /dev/sda1 [10:43] is there a command to re-mount my cd/dcd drives? [10:43] shane_: sudo mount -a [10:43] ikonia: ok give me a minute [10:43] dvd* [10:44] chilli0: rc.local gets executed at boot time, so if you put the commands to start it in there, it should run [10:44] shane_: ok.. run "cat /etc/mtab" in a terminal.. it will print out a list of all mounted drives.. see where sdb1 is mounted [10:44] k [10:44] whats the shut down one ikonia? [10:44] ikonia: wait it just said [10:44] chilli0 did you write a "stop" function into the python script ? [10:44] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [10:44] chilli0: if not just kill it [10:44] ikonia: Deleted inode 4317199 has zero dtime. FIXED [10:44] azfira: we normally just say "hi" [10:44] ditch64 it shouldn't have done anything as I said do fsck -n /dev/sda1 [10:45] ActionParsnip1, basically im getting errors like: rsync: chown "/home/Backups/full-20081109.171012.988/shared_blobs/,n/3z" failed: Permission denied (13) so thats why i was going todo the 777 thing? [10:45] ikonia: i want it to start on shut down. so when i go to shut down it will run my script [10:45] ikonia: k [10:45] i messaged you the output [10:45] ditch64 did you do -n ? [10:45] its the lower part, that isnt the same as the rest [10:45] Slart: well downgrading to Nvidia 173 seems to have worked ... at the very least the fan has finally stop spinning [10:45] AdvoWork: sudo may help [10:45] ikonia: i havent even rebooted [10:45] chilli0 then you need to use a start/stop init script setup rather than rc.local [10:45] ditch64 so where did you get that warning / [10:45] i dont get it [10:46] its doing an automated fsck [10:46] chilli0: rc.local is a set of commands executed at start up only [10:46] ditch64 oh, fair enough then, let it run [10:46] yes ok [10:46] IcyPolecat: nvidia has had some problems with the fans.. I also had that "fans going max all the time" with one version of the drivers [10:46] so how do i make something run on shut down? [10:46] ActionParsnip1, yes but i would like to have linux-generic installed, because of the automatic updates, right now it's not installed because it was removed along with 2.6.27-7 wich is not working for me ( issues with wireless prism 2.5 cars), so what i want it have linux-generc installed but with 2.6.27-8 [10:46] chilli0 so you can't use that as you want it to start and stop (although you should just make it start, when you shut the machine down the script will be killed) [10:46] ActionParsnip1, ie instead of rsyn, do sudo rsync? [10:46] shane_: ok, got it.. didn't see anything about sdb1 though.. might be because you don't have a cd in the drive, or? [10:47] AdvoWork, yes [10:47] AdvoWork: try it [10:47] shane i need help [10:47] Could not start the X server due to some internal error.... blah blah check with your system admin [10:47] Slart: yeah will have to wait now. Very annoying as the new version of the drivers sorted an issue with Plasma performance under KDE as well so really wanted to use the newer version [10:47] where is shane??? [10:47] ditch64 forget that for the moment [10:47] I have no cd in the drive, givve me a second [10:47] my driver b44 for network has problem, help? [10:47] ikonia: k [10:47] ditch64: boot to recovery root console (esc at grub) and then check dmesg and logs [10:47] ditch64: get your file system fixed and working first [10:47] does anyone know how i can set my screen resolution higher? pref->screen resolution is only recognizing my laptop screen, not my external monitor screen [10:47] lol guys just make a backup and put on cd [10:48] ikonia: meaning do what? [10:48] ActionParsnip1, the question is why does ubuntu think that 2.6.27-7 is the latest when 2.6.27-8 is [10:48] i go toilet [10:48] ikonia: if i added the file into here would it work /etc/gdm/PostSession [10:48] chilli0 I don't believe so [10:48] ok [10:48] spi343: not sure [10:48] chilli0: just start it, your OS will kill it when you shutdown [10:48] ikonia: this is funny because if im running on battery power it will boot because it skips the FSCK [10:49] ditch64 why is that funny ? [10:49] ikonia: idk it doesnt make sense [10:49] ikonia: all my script does is copy a number into a file [10:49] ditch64 of course it does [10:49] and i need it to copy it b4 i shut down [10:49] usage: uptime [-V] [10:49] -V display version [10:49] What are the pathes that gcc looks for include files? [10:49] chilli0: then you need to use start/stop init scripts [10:49] ActionParsnip1, oh i see, 2.6.27-8 is on intrepid-proposed, and not in intrepid :( [10:49] ikonia: ok so how do you want me to take at this problem? [10:49] 05:50:21 up 4 days, 10:13, 3 users, load average: 0.05, 0.02, 0.00 [10:49] spi343: im on 2.6.27-7-generic on my intrepid 64bit rig [10:49] chilli0 or just use conky [10:49] ikonia: what are they?

[11:02] chilli0 ok - so as ubuntu runs at run level 2, it will go into /etc/rc2.d and run the scripts in the order 01,02,03,04 etc etc so if your script is S26chilli0 it will run it 26th with the parameter "start" so you need to make sure your script that "starts" is in /etc/init.d - linked to /etc/rc2.d and has a function in it called "start" [11:02] help! [11:02] chilli0: does that make sense [11:02] status [11:02] ActionParsnip1, unfortunately not.

I am going for a break.. [11:12] badstue: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-600991.html [11:12] ok,.. i'm trying to think about the right questions i should be asking [11:12] ActionParsnip1 which linux app does encryption. I know utorrent does but I couldn't find a linux app that did it? [11:12] should i change something with the router first? [11:13] yarborea: ktorrent does it nice [11:13] tool I would defintely try an open DNS server [11:13] encryption is a setting in the software setting [11:13] tool: look for your router on the manufacturers site for configuration options. Usually, you'll have to set it to uPnP and sometimes explicitly open ports. [11:13] ActionParsnip1 thanks [11:13] yarborea: if you are running gnome you will pull down a tonne of kdelibs with it [11:13] UPNP is not something azureus likes [11:14] yarborea: depends on your stance with bloat [11:14] how can i make my server communicate outside the LAN again? [11:14] so i turned it off to see what would happen [11:14] i installed ebox and it fed everything up so i removed it [11:14] no change [11:14] i have my dns set right [11:14] Where's the thrash directory located? [11:14] badstue: there is one post by someone called "warbird" with some good links and info.. near the end of the page [11:14] !trash > mercutio22 [11:14] mercutio22, please see my private message [11:14] how to set up FTP server on ubuntu?

[11:16] I would defintely change that to 4.2.2.4 [11:16] tool: dhs? never heard of that one before.. what is it? [11:16] why woundnt my comp be able to communicat outside the lan [11:16] irini: gksudo synaptic [11:16] tool dns is name->ip mapping - dhcp is getting dynmic (new) ip address whena machine boots, a static ip is when you set an ip for that machine and it never changes [11:16] I know it doesn't strnagle torrents [11:16] anyone else having issues with sound tonight? [11:16] irini, we have told you three times [11:16] ?? if i set it to dhcp then it works but i need static ip [11:16] yeah dhcp [11:17] irini: open the system menu, then the applications menu, then you will see it [11:17] ok understand [11:17] irini, it is in system administration [11:17] is it better to have dhcp or static ip? === Max is now known as MaxMala [11:17] You usually have to purchase a static ip. Dynamic is the standard. [11:17] tool depends on your setup, but this really isn't anything to do with ubuntu support [11:18] tool some say it's better to have a static IP but it's seems a lot of trouble for very little benefit to me [11:18] If I was business it would be different [11:18] !offtopic [11:18] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[12:03] Dr_Willis, tell me about it. Was an 8.10 server, and an attempt to install ubuntu-desktop has left it broken. [12:03] milligan_: first result in a websearch [12:03] Dr_Willis, nope. No such device. [12:04] Dr_Willis, milligan_: isn't urandom a kernel module ? [12:04] what is the command to set permision for folders?

[12:09] carlinhos, but as intrepid as so new some of us are still learning how to do it === aoupi_ is now known as aoupi [12:09] raitis: and how are you copying the data? what command?

[12:16] ph8, either one or the torrent will work fine [12:16] `r0ot: where/when do you get the error? What is the *full* error? [12:17] thx [12:17] I have a question. Is gnomebaker supporting files larger than 2G? [12:17] carlinhos, copy the generic xorg.conf and edit with your info [12:17] carlinhos, best to bookmark that page so when new info is added you can find out first [12:17] ikonia: so ? [12:18] <`r0ot> only error in line:3 and panel will restart and this not work to and c-a-del not work to [12:18] dshuang: that would depend on the filesystem of the dvd you are burning.. iso vs udf I think.. or other joilet extensions [12:18] `r0ot: I need you to answer my questions so I can help you. The error says exactly "error in line:3" and nothing else? Again, where/when do yo usee this error? [12:18] !who | `r0ot [12:18] `r0ot: As you can see, this is a large channel.

I would like to make a complaint about the problem with sound not working after resuming from Suspend. The only way to get it working seems to be a manual alsa force-restart every time. Seems to be a very common problem with no definite fix that I can find. Can anyone help? [12:23] <`r0ot> how i can enable the root from command line ? [12:23] `r0ot: you don't, there's no need [12:24] `r0ot: su - root [12:24] Mariner_13: that won't work on ubuntu by default [12:24] Mariner_13, dont suggest that here please [12:24] the proper way to get a root shell is to use 'sudo -s' I belive [12:24] <`r0ot> I don't know how i make the new user from command line :( ! [12:24] `r0ot, do: sudo passwd root [12:24] `r0ot: sudo adduser NEW_USER [12:24] jrib: works for me by default..

[12:27] Anyone know where I can get info about reactivating a touchpad after resuming from suspend? [12:27] Mariner_13: you are missing the point [12:27] <`r0ot> i will get my laptop and try that now [12:27] Mariner_13: but it isn't set by default.. (it isn't recommended either).. so by default su doesn't work [12:28] i get it .-) [12:29] shesek: 'detach' from the screen session by using ctrl+a d, then you can exit the terminal while you're apps still run [12:30] hi, do you know about g++-3.4 in ubuntu-8.10 [12:30] (if you're running gnu-screen that is) [12:30] is that removed?

[12:46] riegersn, when you run it, throw && at the end === KennethP_ is now known as KennethP [12:47] subdolus_: it's pretty clear from that, better than I can explain here [12:47] i dont need an explanation [12:47] IdleOne, this only says 7.10 gutsy ubuntu ...nothing about the architecture [12:47] subdolus_: 5 0 * * * $HOME/bin/daily.job >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1 [12:47] i jsut need to know what to put in it.. like where to put the stars [12:47] subdolus_: runs a job five minutes pas midnight every day [12:47] what is my root pass? cant remember entering any passwords whike installin system [12:47] sorry riegersn: only one & [12:47] FreshPrince: x86_64 = 64 bit [12:47] subdolus_: change the five to a 0 [12:47] <`r0ot> jrib: ? === KeldS is now known as Kvik-arbejde [12:47] FreshPrince: sorry, mis-tab [12:47] FrauHansen: x86_64 = 64 bit [12:47] np :) [12:47] FrauHansen: x86_64 GNU/Linux [12:47] levene: lolwut?

I just need 2 partitions under the installer and a swap ? dont i need to add the other like /usr /var and so on ? or will they be automatically added ? [12:48] subdolus_: read the man page, it explains everything [12:48] FrauHansen: x86_32 is 32 bit [12:48] subdolus_: you clearly do need an explanation :) [12:48] Pici, IdleOne, thank you guys [12:48] badstue: Anything that falls under / (root) will be part of that partition unless you specify, as you are for /home [12:48] anyone figured out how to sync a mobile phone calendar? [12:48] Pici: thank you :) i'll do it right away [12:49] levene: no, i mean what is it [12:49] 5 0 * * * $HOME/bin/daily.job >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1 [12:49] `r0ot: you need to figure out what configuration files are messing up the old one. Try renaming ~/.gconf/ and ~/.gnome2/ for starters [12:49] ? [12:49] subdolus_: what do you not understand? [12:49] or 0 5 0 * * * $HOME/bin/daily.job >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1 [12:49] jrib : read the troubleshooting and went so far as to purge / install apache2 and php5 again. Still same problem [12:49] subdolus_: put that line in your crontab, changing the 5 to 0 [12:49] would someone suggest something better than sugarcrm for our crm needs. We are a small wireless ISP so we try to make tickets and dispatch out of our CRM system [12:49] or 0 0 * * * $HOME/bin/daily.job >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1 [12:49] subdolus_: and changing the last bit (from $HOME/...) to the command you want to run [12:49] subdolus_: the second one [12:49] JuJuBee: you cleared your browser's cache? [12:50] hmm, is there a GUI ssh client for ubuntu ? [12:50] awk: to copy files? [12:50] naaa, just add all my clients to a list [12:50] levene: the script i want to run is just a wget script.. i dont want it piped anywhere, so why do i need whtever is after the ">>" [12:50] not using a scp [12:50] subdolus_: you don't, just adapt it to your needs [12:50] I want something like putty does to store clients inside... rather than ssh -.... [12:51] subdolus_: on the other hand, i think you will get emailed (via your local mail system, if it exists) the command output unless you redirect it somewhere [12:51] awk: I like just using ~/.ssh/config though I know it's not what you asked for. I put settings there, then I just ssh foo and it uses all my settings (username, etc) [12:51] jrib : my bad. That did it. [12:51] Thanks [12:51] 0 0 * * * /usr/bin/download.sh [12:51] will that work, levene ? [12:51] subdolus_: i guess so. suck it and see [12:51] how do I join the ubuntu-translation group? [12:52] jrib you right, I can, add keys too I suppose.. thanks. [12:52] What is the dd process in the newest install of Ubuntu? It's eating lots (several %) of my system resources... [12:53] lilleman: you mean the 0:00 /bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg [12:53] yup [12:53] Sorcererbob, its not launching minimized, still opens on the screen. any ideas? [12:53] exactly [12:53] what is it? [12:53] looks like its logging/copying somthing from one place to another.. [12:53] but constantly, always? [12:54] Wasnt there in the last version... [12:54] Its looks lik eits just a pipe from one location to another.. it dont seem to be taking up any cpu here [12:55] lilleman: I don't know about that stuff but that should be idle most of the time. it uses blocking functions so it shouldn't actuall *do* anything most of the time unless the source is actually being modified. [12:55] hi! i would like to ask a question. is there any hotkey equal to backspace? (ex: ctrl+h == delete) [12:55] 0% cpu 0% Ram here [12:55] has anyone here installed the OOo 3.0 community edition? It's kind of hard [12:55] physadair: yes there is.. but i forget what. :) [12:55] hm. It takes up resources for me. Constant load of ~0.22 when machine is completley idle [12:56] lilleman: does "tail -f /var/run/klogd/kmsg" roll lots of text or is it not changing? [12:56] At a normal file transfer via SSH it takes up as much CPU as the sshd process [12:56] physadair: are you sure ctrl-h doesn't do what you want? [12:56] hmm, anyone have any benchmarks of ubuntu (any version) vs any windows version at that time, would like a say comparfrom new ubuntu vs xp or vista? [12:56] gammy: no [12:56] anyone gotten mono 2.0 running on 8.04 or 8.10? [12:56] lilleman: no what? [12:56] not changing [12:57] jrib, yes, ctrl+h can work. just want to be lazier. [12:57] lilleman: Ok. Then that shouldn't be taking any cputime at all. [12:57] jrib : now an update to mysql-server failed and I cannot run any mysql_connect commands from php files. How do I force mysql to stop so I can reinstall/update? [12:57] gammy: 31808 root 20 0 1940 544 448 S 1.3 0.1 0:29.21 dd [12:57] 1.3% CPU [12:57] physadair: what do you mean by hotkey equal to backspace then? Isn't that ctrl-h? [12:57] when doing absolutley nothing [12:58] lilleman: Obviously it's doing something if it's taking cputime :P [12:58] lilleman: maybe bug 292560 [12:58] haha, true that :) [12:58] jrib: aah, -checking- [12:58] lilleman: googling the "dd ..." command turns up a few hits, probably a good idea to go through them [12:59] jrib, the hotkey ctrl-h in my pc can only delete letters after the consor. [12:59] jrib: Did that. But ok... gonna shut down the log system and see if it helps [12:59] physadair: ah, goes back here. You're in a default terminal and shell setup on ubuntu? [13:00] lilleman have you checked to see if (i think) /var/messages is getting lots of hits ? [13:00] /var/log/messages [13:00] .. [13:00] ty gammy [13:00] seronis: checking, thanks [13:01] jrib, no. i use screen, the backspace can not work in screen. [13:01] holy moly [13:01] lilleman: when i was using 8.04 i was getting almost continuous hits about a power management issue [13:01] physadair: works outside of screen? [13:01] ./var/log/messages is totally spammed with log messages [13:02] lilleman: im new to ubuntu, but already found out that -that- file will get nailed with anything out of the ordinary by ubuntu's standards [13:02] hi, i need to know if ubuntu auto ships the bcm43xx firmware === Dominic_ is now known as rumesto [13:02] anytime i use a custom key on my compaq keyboard, lots of power saving things, cpu fan messages [13:02] they all show up there [13:03] seronis: alright. Thanks. However, I'm not doing anthing, and it seems _all_ that is happening, good or bad, is reported there === herbie is now known as herbba [13:03] jrib, of course i can work without screen, but multi-terminal is more convenient.

[13:04] lilleman: Those are network related. Probably nothing to worry about. [13:05] jrib, thank you. [13:05] Pici: Good :) But I need to have it stop logging it, because its taking valuable system resources. And a 3 day old server got 338k big /var/log/messages :S [13:05] Pici: personally if its nothing to worry about id rather them not even be created. anyway to curb how aggressive logs are ? [13:06] seronis: Thanks for asking what I actually needed to know :) [13:06] lilleman: well you should fix the root couse (a kernel or configuration bug) and not the symptons (the flooded logs) [13:06] jrib : getting Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /home/knichel/public_html/ait_10/index.php on line 13 [13:06] jrib : I can connect to the mysql db via cli just fine. [13:07] erUSUL: Well... this is the very basic install of Ubuntu 8.10. And I do not have time to do that. So then I will just reinstall with 8.04 instead [13:07] JuJuBee: installed php5-mysql ?

Compiz-gnome failed to update when I did an update and now it is reported as broken, but I can't find a way to fix it. I have tried just about everything. [13:13] jackalopes arent even real lol [13:13] fsck ubuntu [13:13] lies ! [13:13] =-) [13:13] !fsck [13:13] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [13:13] !fuck [13:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about fuck [13:13] jaja [13:13] pranith: Please watch the language, thats not needed here.

[13:15] spanish people suck [13:16] ah, thanks [13:16] Pici: Is it important how the primary and logical settings are set ? Like should i set the / as primary and the rest as logical ? [13:16] :) [13:16] riptide you are very kind [13:16] badstue: I've never changed those settings on my installs, but I think it would make sense to at least make / primary. [13:16] hmm, anyone know a way to import say your whole pst from outlook to unix err ubuntu ? [13:17] riptide if you come to our channel nobody will tell you such thing [13:17] i am looking to load mod_log_config but it's not under a2enmod. someone at #apache said you might know the name [13:17] does a storage drive HAVE to have an unallocated space? [13:17] badstue: i tend to use all primaries if i can. [13:17] Vero2: Hes gone. [13:17] awk: Ever tried Evolution?

I'll try again. Last install returned me a CD-read error.. zzz [13:19] Dr_Willis: do installing themes slows down my ubuntu speed? [13:19] ValentineX: installing walllpaper slowing down the system? Err... not unless you got a C64 :) [13:19] Pici: Btw, what will the root password be ? [13:19] Is there some reason that update-manager does not show the list of changes for package updates? [13:19] on a default installed ubuntu box [13:19] !root | badstue [13:19] badstue: 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 [13:20] Dr_Willis: thank you :) [13:20] Pici: hmm.. so there is no root password. But isnt that unsafe ? [13:20] hi [13:20] badstue: no - its even safer... [13:20] so i need to use the server kernel to host xen vms? [13:20] does a storage drive HAVE to have an unallocated space? [13:20] Nop, it does not [13:21] Does anyones update-manager show them the list of changes for updates ? [13:21] badstue: The root account password is locked, there is nothing that you could supply to the password prompt that would let you login as it. [13:21] Pici: how ? So if i want to make a change that needs root access.. i just use the sudo cmd ? [13:21] What do you mean? [13:21] badstue: Take a look at the url that ubottu posted for more info. [13:21] chadeldridge: no mine is empty (updated a half hour ago) [13:21] Pici: yup.. i will [13:21] Pici: thank you once again :) [13:21] seronis: humm .. i thought it used to show [13:22] chadeldridge: it DID. half an hour ago i had 29 entries for updates. now its empty [13:24] 2 panels on the update-manager. top one the list of updates. bottom one a description. make sure you dont have the bottom panel collapsed [13:24] ? === Newb`s is now known as Newb`s|away [13:27] Hi.

I am interested in opinions for a 250gb drive. [13:34] seronis: Use virtual dekstops, that would be a workaround [13:35] seronis: Use winecfg to set that [13:35] seronis: For other Wine related applications I would recommend http://appdb.winehq.org [13:35] norbert79: i have 5 desktops. i keep my message window opened up on my 2nd desktop while i am doing web browsing on the first. the window already exists and has 2 tabs opened with different conversations going.

I was directed to this channel by some folks in the #samba channel. Here's my issue: I'm running samba 3.0.26 on Ubuntu 7.10. I have two cifs mounts in fstab to mount shared directories residing on a Windows 2000 machine. Regardless of the order of the commands, the first one fails. Bringing up a terminal window and issuing "mount -a" works. I copied the first mount in fstab, duplicating it as a third cifs mount identical to [13:48] ghostlines: Hmm, that would be in your motherboard's manual... [13:48] when asked to overwrite a file.. there is no information of whether the file is newer or its size.. why is that?

Quick question: How would I replace the sound in a .flv file on Ubuntu? [13:49] ghostlines: I could even find some for some older 486 motherboards [13:50] i just found a left over Edgy maschine here in the office, which ist still productiv and needs to be updated. As egdy is not a on the mirrors any more the update manager fails. Whats the best way to upgrade the maschine? using the source-list, apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade? any ideas?

[13:51] norbert: tried that. [13:51] seronis: Well done :) [13:51] Stalker: doubtful. [13:52] Stalker: FWIW, I use seamonkey and like it much better than Firefox. [13:52] How can I reset the network settings to default? [13:52] Stalker72: Better? What's better in ANY os? [13:52] seronis: You could also use System/Settings/Hardware Info [13:52] gammy: Are there web browsers other than Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome which are worth trying? [13:53] I could even do this easily on Windows, so there should be some way to do it on Ubuntu, shouldn't it? [13:53] Stalker72: Firefox and Opera are probably the most advanced and stable (graphical) browsers released to date for any operating system. [13:53] I understand that the restricted codecs aren't officially supported in Ubuntu, but it shouldn't be this difficult to enable DVD playback. [13:53] Stalker72: so my answer would be no. [13:54] Stalker72: unless you'd prefer something more strict like dillo ;) [13:54] I used to use Opera, switched to FF. [13:54] gammy: I'm trying to upload some torrents (legal) to The Pirate Bay but I'm unbable to in Firefox and Opera. Are any other web browsers worth a try in? [13:54] Stalker72: swiftfox or opera are my choices [13:54] how do you change your fstab so your webcam works? [13:54] when i open firefox in intrepid, it fills the screen so that the title bar is off the screen at the top, and i can only see the menu bar. how can i reduce the size of the window without being able to click on the title bar? [13:54] Stalker72: I don't think thats a firefox/opera problem. You're probably doing something wrong. [13:55] Stalker, you might try Epiphany [13:55] beniamino: alt+space [13:55] gammy: I choose the file, a name, category, and I type in the characters [13:55] beniamino, press F11 [13:55] Stalker ... Konquerer ...KDE [13:55] Stalker72, ^^ [13:56] norbert79: 'Hardware Info' is neither in system/preferences or /system/administration and sys/prefs/main menu only allows me to make 'control center' option visible which itself shows nothing not already in prefs or admin [13:56] Stalker72: Obviously firefox should work. It's a leading browser. the pirate bay crew uses it themselves. [13:56] now will everyone list a browser until you've listed all browsers on earth? :) [13:56] !browsers [13:56] Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [13:56] see also "list every browser" in #ubuntu-bots as that lists more. [13:56] seronis: Maybe I have just have those installed... I always tune on my System after an install... [13:56] seronis: Stick to lshw then [13:56] Stalker72: Also, both epiphany and konqueror are based on gecko. [13:56] kk [13:56] gammy: What is Gecko? [13:56] gammy: A JavaScript engine? [13:57] gammy: konqueror is not based on Gecko at all. KHTML. [13:57] Stalker72: Gecko is the rendering engine used in firefox. [13:57] gammy: no, an HTML rendering engine. [13:57] gammy: konqueror use khtml/webkit [13:57] erUSUL: Ah. [13:57] My bad. [13:57] How do I get Firefox 3.1 Beta for Ubuntu?

[13:58] can i get a image contents which is not visble on the screen?? [13:58] gammy: It's not an Internet speed issue either... [13:58] seronis, sudo apt-get install hardinfo, that will provide the graphical hw info tat norbert79 mentioned [13:58] i kno i have to use xlib but i am stucked and progressing no where.....

If the right operand is zero or nega‐ [13:59] Stalker72, URL's* [13:59] grobda24: thx [13:59] Stalker72: As I said, you're probably doing something wrong. I don't know what. I have never submitted anything to that tracker. [13:59] Stalker72, np [13:59] Stalker72: swiftfox or opera are my choices [13:59] Can no one answer my previous question regarding mounting shares in fstab? [13:59] ok.. installed it. looks good. but the apt-get mentioned that 'openssl-blacklist' is no longer required.. use apt-get autoremove [13:59] Stalker72: Also what exactly fails? You never described the error, did you? [14:00] itai-michaelson, gnash is available from the repositories, just go to the Synaptics package manager [14:00] btw, anyone has a MX revolution mouse?

[14:21] norbert79, gotcha, what does "other way around" mean [14:21] is there a graphic interface to fstab somewhere? [14:21] !fstab [14:21] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [14:21] when i login to ubuntu my mouse is stuck on one monitor but all my toolbars/menus etc. are on the other one! help! [14:21] Polysics, i think there is.. but i never use it. :) [14:21] i wonder what is on this 33Gb partition i just found... i can only see a lost+found directory [14:21] icesword: ehm , when two things match up right the opposite way [14:22] Polysics, sudo fdisk -l, and see what filesystem it is.. and mount it manually perhaps [14:22] aaron; http://www.google.com/linux and search for news [14:22] dr_willis, my fstab-fu is rusty :-) [14:22] Polysics: also enable viewing hidden files [14:22] platius, thanks [14:22] Polysics, if it just has lost+found it seems its empty. :) [14:22] icesword: Like if you would say lemons are red and cheeries are yellow... I would tell to you then: The other way around [14:22] my question (not to the channel, but in general) is: where did a partition come from? [14:23] i sure never made it [14:23] Right now I have Xubuntu installed. Is it possible to "change" it to regular gnome-based Ubuntu cleanly without reinstalling? I'm sure the answer is yes. However, the last time I did that changing from Ubuntu->Xubuntu (not this install), not /everything/ changed -- like the boot screen. [14:23] i shall investigate :-) [14:23] Polysics: Maybe MBR has been modified, and some invalid info is shown, or encrypted [14:23] norbert79, hehe, gotcha, thanks, me learned another idiom [14:23] icesword: You are welcome [14:24] whats the root password on the livecd? leaving it blank doesnt work. in case youre wondering, im reinstalling grub bootloader and its asking for it... [14:24] jobe: There is none... Afaik. Just 'sudo su' and set a password to root using 'passwd' [14:25] norbert79: good tip, thanks [14:25] How to auto start Firestarter on Hardy?(i tried many solutions with no success) [14:27] is there a way to check all files on my hard drive for damage? [14:27] fsck [14:27] Akazawa, you can boot into rescue mode and run fsck [14:27] norbert79: hmm, now it doesnt ask for password any more, and just gives error exit status one [14:27] how long should fsck take? [14:27] Akazawa: Few minutes [14:27] Akazawa: depends on the size of your Harddisk [14:28] Akazawa, and if you believe you have bad blocks, use the badblocks command [14:28] ok, now i officially feel stupid [14:28] Akazawa: and the ammount of dsata stored [14:28] in a wubi install, the whole disk is mounted under /host [14:28] jobe: What do you try to accomplish? [14:28] still doesn't explain the extra partition :-) [14:28] I did fsck on my ard drive and it said instantly that the system was clean which baffles me because its a 180 gig hard drive === quassel251 is now known as genii [14:28] i just installed intrepid and my wlan0 is not enabled. my wireless is working but its labeled eth1 and my ethernet is eth0. how can i get it working on wlan0?? [14:28] Akazawa: Clean means 'No errors' [14:28] what is a good replacement for itunes? i actualyl do use it [14:28] akaluzhny, fsck does a structure check, not physical/data check [14:29] ops, was for Akazawa [14:29] Akazawa, for physical data check you will need to run badblocks [14:29] well how do I check the hard drive for errors then? [14:29] oh [14:29] norbert79: im getting @selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by bios@ now when trying to boot. I thought reinstal [14:29] how do I do that [14:29] *ling the bootloader would solve it, but i cant do this thanks to this password problem [14:29] when i try to open a zip file i get an error............."Error: /home/xxx/Desktop/obexftp-frontend-0.6.1-bin.zip is not supported archive Errors: 1" [14:29] any help [14:29] Akazawa, badblocks device [14:29] is there a way i can get my wireless working as it used to be on 8.04?? [14:29] romania ? [14:30] damn... i had a question but full reboot fixed the problem... arg :)... [14:30] Dabbu, install the "zip" package [14:30] same wirelessnproblem here [14:30] jobe: Thats just a bit difficult topic for me right now, have limited time for doing support, maybe others can help you [14:30] joaopinto: that is already installed [14:30] so "badblocks /dev/sda" [14:30] right? [14:30] jobe: Sorry for that [14:30] khaotik: thats not a problem. its just your wireless is being used with ethernet. my system is the same way [14:30] Akazawa, I am not sure if you need to use a disk device, or partition device, like sdaN [14:30] norbert79: np, but could you give a yes or no to whether you think that reinstalling bootloader will help? [14:30] (if i succeed in doing that) [14:31] how can i change it so i can use the iwlist command? [14:31] khaotik: if i boot my laptop up with the livecd it also shows its wireless as eth1 too, so its not an 'upgrade' issue === i^d]gXEm is now known as LjL [14:31] jobe: Not sure... My Bios used to also not being able supporting sizes above a limit where GRUB could it handle with no issues... YOu might google this topic first, before doing anything [14:31] norbert79: ok [14:31] etherape no longer picks up all connections to the router anymore either. it just picks up the connections from my laptop. [14:32] what file contains gdm configuration? [14:32] anyone to help me open a zip file [14:33] Dabbu: double click on it [14:33] wers♂ I'm just guessing, but /etc/gdm/gdm.conf ? [14:33] anyone know if the g1 phone works with ubuntu? [14:33] is there a way to revert this so i can use the iwlist scan command? [14:33] jrib: most of zip file opens in same way but not all [14:33] wers, have you tried the good ol' guess with "locate gdm.conf"? :P [14:33] Dabbu: then you need to be more specific... [14:33] Hi - thankx for your help: I would like to increase no_files to 8192 for all users, soft and hard. I added the two lines to /etc/security/limits.conf and added pam_limits support to various login/ssh and common-sessions... but ulimit -n still shows 1024 as root? Does anyone see what is missing? Thankx a lot for your help... [14:33] thanks hateball [14:33] which video player do you recommend? [14:33] dr_willis: 7zip doesn't show up in my applications menu after being installed, should it be there? [14:34] anyone: should i use e2fsck or fsck for repairing partitions? [14:34] i have stuff encoded in basically any codec and his mum [14:34] SOURdiesel, 7zip is a command line utility, not a graphical app [14:34] joaopinto: ok. [14:34] jobe, fsck does not repairt partitions, it repairs fileststems [14:34] jobe, for partitions you need to use fdisk/cfdisk/parted [14:35] joaopinto: sof or repairing filesystems should i use that or e2fsck [14:35] SOURdiesel: after i installed 7zip it just becomes available as a supported format via the Archive Manager [14:35] is there a way i can set up etherape to view all computers around me then? [14:35] joaopinto: ok [14:35] jobe, you should use fsck [14:35] so how is Ibex? Better than Heron? [14:35] fograven: It's cool. Some things remain to be worked out, as with any release. But it's quite promising. [14:35] fograven: merely updating to Ibex and not changing wine itself improved how a lot of things on my system handled [14:36] im loading up ibex 64 bit as we speak [14:36] fograven: wireless works more reliable with my generic wireless too [14:36] cool [14:36] Seronis: yeah i hear the wireless kinks are worked out [14:36] well most of them. [14:37] my wireless card generally required me to do manual dhcp connect, switch to static and manually enter my IP then switch back to dhcp before i would have internet access [14:37] The Ubuntu wiki says that the ubuntu-users mailing list is not for general discussion. Is there a mailing list with that in mind? I prefer a mailing list over the forums. [14:37] that was in 7.04 thru 8.04.. 8.;10 just worked [14:37] Hi: I would like to increase no_files to 8192 for all users, soft and hard. I added the two lines to /etc/security/limits.conf and added pam_limits support login/ssh and common-sessions (in /etc/pam)... but ulimit -n still shows 1024 as root - does anyone see what is missing? Thankx a lot for your help... [14:37] seronis: i see. i tried to extract a rar file and it tells me archive file not supported. [14:37] which is the "best" music player around? [14:37] rythmbix? [14:37] *box [14:38] SOURdiesel: yeah. i get the same === Xaco is now known as Xaco123 [14:38] SOURdiesel: but it handles 7z's now [14:38] seronis: si can't use rar files. ok [14:38] so [14:38] anyone wanna help me out enabling costum effects on compiz? [14:38] marfis, that after a reboot ? [14:38] there is probably a rar library to install. [14:39] !rar > SOURdiesel [14:39] SOURdiesel, please see my private message [14:39] joaopinto: yes, no change after the reboot... [14:39] !rar > seronis [14:39] seronis, please see my private message [14:39] marfis, have you tried manually changing the limit with ulimit from a regular user ? [14:39] thanks. [14:39] I'll be damned. There doesn't seem to be a general discussion mailing list for Ubuntu. [14:39] joaopinto: manually isn't the point... we need a system wide change on a server... [14:40] woot. sudo apt-get install unrar-free [14:40] marfis, if you can set the limit from a regular user, then it is not a matter of limits, but a matter of defaults [14:40] ty jao [14:40] Is there any way to use yppasswd in such a way that it can be run non-interactively? Eg. by using expect for instance? [14:40] joaopinto: ok, got your point... this means? [14:41] joaopinto: brazuca mano?! [14:41] joaopinto: by the way, yes I can set it manually with ulimit for the running session [14:41] martii, if is just a matter of defaults, you will be able to set it either at the system profile, or at the users profile [14:41] Twinkletoes|W: yppasswd? [14:41] jrib: Yeah - for NIS password changes [14:41] joaopinto: you mean /etc/profile [14:41] Twinkletoes|W: ah [14:41] marfis, or /etc/bash.bashrc [14:41] jrib: I could use 'expect' but I'd rather not if there's a cleaner way [14:42] joaopinto: I'll try that, thanks for that... [14:42] joaopinto: is /etc/profile also working for a root process started at boottime? [14:42] one thing i like about ubuntu.. the people in ubuntu channels dont have as large a god complex as those in windows or programming channels [14:43] marfis, I believe /etc/profile is always sourced, even for boot scripts [14:43] joaopinto: is running fsck dangerous? I answer yes to most questions as superblocks etc dont mean much to me [14:43] joaopinto: thx again [14:43] jobe, running it on a mounted system yes, you are expected to run it using recovery mode [14:44] when logging in, ubuntu asks for my password twice.. why's this? [14:44] jobe, boot to recovery and run: fsck -y -A [14:44] joaopinto: the system isnt mounted, but im not in recovery mode [14:44] jobe, ah ok [14:44] Good afternoon. Anyone here can help me with a problem with the creation of an ad-hoc with ubuntu and xp? [14:44] jobe, fsck is not dangerous, but if your FS is corrupted, you may loose data [14:44] joaopinto: hmm, ok [14:44] Greetings all, could someone give me a quick rundown on what makes ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, and edubuntu all different? [14:45] delineator, the set of packages/graphical windows manager [14:45] so edu also denotes the only difference being the window manager? === Selveste1 is now known as Selveste1_away [14:45] !away > seronis [14:45] one alst thing, does anyone know where firefox stores bookmarks? [14:45] seronis, please see my private message [14:46] !away > Selveste1_away [14:46] Selveste1_away, please see my private message [14:46] joaopinto: im trying to fix this error message from preventing boot: selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by bios, hence im using fsck, i tried to reinstall bootloader in ibex, but it wont let me exiting with password associated errors [14:46] the bookmarks.html file i got from the usual place is 6 months old [14:46] probably it's from ff2 [14:46] jobe, that is a partition issue, not a file system issue, fsck will not help [14:46] Can someone help with a non-booting box? [14:46] The box doesn't boot if the HDD is given power [14:47] joaopinto: do you think reinstalling the bootloader will fix it? [14:47] Hello I have a problem getting apache to work with mod_mono. I have installed everything from apt-get and I am trying to run localhost/samples to get the examples installed. I get a 503 instead (Service unavailable) [14:47] if not,I can boot into LiveCD,from where I'm posting [14:47] easwar: sounds like a hardware error [14:47] edubuntu is just different by its window manager? [14:47] Anybody out there good with home networks? I want to share a partition over a router. I am relatively new to Linux. [14:47] jobe, don't think so [14:47] ikonia: as in?

For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org [14:47] jobe, I am not familiar with your problem do you have your bios disk setup for LBA ? [14:47] joaopinto: vista fecked up everything on the whole comp, and then refused to even install I passionatly hate it. [14:48] joaopinto: afaik lba is set upn yes [14:48] easwar if the box won't boot when the harddrive has power, that sounds like a hardware issue, unless your getting a softare error [14:48] ikonia: ok,so what's next? [14:48] easwar get the hardware fixed [14:48] jobe, I would just delete all the partitions and recreate them === desti_T2 is now known as desti [14:48] ikonia: Is there no other possibility?

I want to be able to connect to my ubuntu computer and run a remote desktop without already having to be logged in on the machine, and in fact someone else might be logged in and using their desktop and I remotely log in and use my desktop at the same time... is that possible? [15:00] anyone running wow on ubuntu with a ati laptop integrated video? [15:01] PeskyJ, that's possible, but I don't have a link for the procedure right now [15:01] Pesky, search google for 'remote login' instead of 'remote desktop' [15:01] remote desktop returns VNC style information [15:01] anyone know how to force compiz to listen to the compiz settings(don't know what's it's called only got the norwegian name)?

Now both shares are available when I log in.

[15:20] KentonS: 10 or 15 minutes is ok in my book [15:20] yes, I did [15:20] I followed the upgrade instructions to the T [15:20] !who | NEWK [15:20] NEWK: 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 :) [15:20] and everthing worked fine in 8.04 ? [15:21] south_korea: sudo apt-get install xmame-sdl kxmame [15:21] NEWK: is there a mouse cursour on screen thats not moving, or no mouse cursour at all [15:21] Yes [15:21] yes ? [15:21] I mean yes that it worked fine in 8.04 [15:21] jrib: Thanks. I'll give it another go. [15:21] There is a mouse cursor [15:21] but it will not move [15:21] hey guys my wifi adapter is showing a bunch of networks and is showing which ones are encrypted and which ones aren't but it doesnt show the signal, and I cant connect to ANY of them. could anyone help me out?? [15:21] fosco__, :) ok thanks let me try it first what gonna happen [15:21] I'm running samba 3.0.26 on Ubuntu 7.10. I have two cifs mounts in fstab to mount shared directories residing on a Windows 2000 machine. Regardless of the order of the commands, the first one fails. Bringing up a terminal window and issuing "mount -a" works. I copied the first mount in fstab, duplicating it as a third cifs mount identical to the first. Now both shares are available when I log in. Any ideas why the first mount fails? [15:21] NEWK: ok is the cursour in the gdm box flashing ? [15:21] yes [15:22] crap! the phone's ringing. :( [15:22] Guys any one can tell me bring my hotmail messages to evolotion or Thuder bird ? [15:22] NEWK: hotmails pop3 service is paid for I believe [15:22] KentonS: oh, I saw that one :) no idea. You check for samba bugs on bugs.ubuntu.com? Anything in any logs? [15:22] how * [15:22] NEWK: sorry [15:22] hey guys my wifi adapter is showing a bunch of networks and is showing which ones are encrypted and which ones aren't but it doesnt show the signal, and I cant connect to ANY of them. could anyone help me out?? [15:22] Netcowboy: hotmails pop3 serviceis paid for I believe [15:22] netcowboy: the instructions for pop access should be on the hotmail website [15:22] back [15:22] they are for gmail =-) [15:23] NEWK: can you do ctrl+alt+F2 to drop to a console ? [15:23] jrib: I'd love to check a log. I have no idea where to look for the log or which log to look for. [15:23] Nope [15:23] Netcowboy: but an alternative would be the 'webmail notify' extention for firefox [15:23] NEWK: but ctrl+alt+backspace works [15:23] let me try [15:23] ikonia, I found some tutorials in ubuntu forums how to get if free but It doesn work for me [15:23] hey guys my wifi adapter is showing a bunch of networks and is showing which ones are encrypted and which ones aren't but it doesnt show the signal, and I cant connect to ANY of them. could anyone help me out??

[15:26] Can anyone tell me where to look for any log file that might let me know about any errors encountered during processing of fstab? [15:26] yes bazhang [15:26] It was originally 6.06 LTS then I upgraded to 8.04 LTS and from tehre to Ibex [15:27] hi im having problem with eiphony it doest not open but firefox working help me [15:27] KentonS /var/log/syslog [15:27] wos, then use the appropriate passphrase to connect to them [15:27] ikonia: Thanks! [15:27] NEWK: but it did work in 8.04 yes/no [15:27] there is no passphrase [15:27] hi im having problem with epiphany it doest not open but firefox working help me [15:27] bazhang: there is no passphrase [15:27] yes, I could log in in 8.04 === joh_ is now known as joh [15:27] actually, come to think of it... [15:27] wos if they are encrypted then you need the passphrase [15:27] I don't think I ever tried in 8.04....hhhmmmmm [15:28] I never logged out [15:28] No wait, yes I did [15:28] sorry [15:28] NEWK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:28] bazhang: they are not encrypted [15:28] I had to reboot after I upgraded, so false alawrm [15:28] KentonS: /var/log/kern.log as well [15:28] flood? [15:28] are you kidding? [15:28] NEWK: ok so it did work with 8.04, [15:28] yes [15:28] wos, then why did you mention many wifi hotspots some are encrypted and some are not [15:28] how do I stop X/gdm from starting? I just want a text login: prompt on boot [15:28] Hi... question: what's the status of an Ubuntu install then auto-upgrade on the new MacBook Unibody? Works? Mostly works? [15:29] CarlFK: system -> adiministration -> services -> graphical login [15:29] Reason is I am lusting after one of the Unibodys but won't buy it unless it can run Linux reasonably well. [15:29] NEWK: my gut feeling for you here is to 1.) boot into the root console from the boot menu, 2.) test your keyboard there outside of X 3.) if it works move your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/backup.xorg.conf 4.) restart your machine and lets see what state your in [15:29] NEWK: floodbot doesnt like people using the enter key as punctuation for some reason. it would rather you just make massively large paragraphs [15:29] Perhaps I should try a different keyboard and mouse [15:29] The forums don't state whether stuff is now in 8.10 or not. [15:29] bazhang: i was wondering if the fact that it can tell which ones are encrypted but it cant tell what the signal is was of any significance [15:29] Hello when I try to use Apache to serve mono projects I get a 503 service unavailable error. Can someone help? [15:29] jrib: any idea what .conf that edits? or, how can I do that without a mouse? (what hotkeys hit those menu items) [15:29] Help me with this samba file sharing error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/70030/ [15:29] Zzeiss: not sure, on my normal macbook install ubuntu was a pain in the ass [15:30] CarlFK: you can use bum or sysv-rc-conf [15:30] kniolet_: OK... how long ago? [15:30] wos, if it is your hotspot then you should know if it is encrypted or not. [15:30] can i have multiple log ins on the same home directory in differnt oses? [15:30] ValentineXX: change the permissions on /media/disk/Programs [15:30] wos, connect to the router and set the encryption if you are not sure [15:30] scientes you can [15:30] I'm gonna try some different keyboards and mouses [15:30] bazhang: its NOT encrypted [15:30] I'll be back in a bit [15:31] ikonia: there is written you are not owner you cannot change.. how to? [15:31] so i can share via nfs and then mount the same home in a vm ikonia ? [15:31] scientes: Yes. The only trick is that they all have to agree as to group and user number per user, else you get hosed on file protection. [15:31] wos, open a terminal and type ifconfig; how many entries are there [15:31] Zzeiss: well 8.04 was REALLY bad, i installed it on at least 4 macbooks and even after i knew what i had to do, it still took 3+ hours to set up. 8.10 is noticeably better (wireless and sound worked out of the box, for example), but it still took 2 hours to get an exetrenal monitor working [15:31] ValentineXX see who th eowner is and use chmod/chown to change the ownership to yourself [15:31] Another critical thing to note is that this computer is fairly old. It's from 2001 [15:31] scientes: (that's what I do. I have an Ubuntu Studio install and a FC9 install on the same machine with common user dirs) [15:31] NEWK: shouldn't cause an issue [15:31] I checked the requirements, though. It can handle Ubuntu [15:32] Just in case [15:32] kniolet_: OK. Hmmm... [15:32] bazhang: there are 3 [15:32] Zzeiss, i was going to try out freebsd [15:32] wos, what are they [15:32] ikonia: what are those? chmod/chown? [15:32] scientes: it should be worth trying. :) [15:32] ValentineXX: commands [15:32] bazhang: eth0 lo and wlan0 [15:33] NEWK: unlike the windows world, older hardware works increasingly better with linux. not worse [15:33] wos, in the terminal type sudo dhclient wlan0 [15:33] ValentineXX: or you can add the line usershare owner only = False to the samba config file as the error tells you [15:33] ikonia:type full commands please chown: missing operand [15:33] kniolet_: How long ago (as in what new upgrades to the 8.10 packagekit have happened since then?) [15:33] ikonia: i did i entered that [15:33] ValentineXX: man chown and mand chmod to learn how to use them [15:33] ikonia: after entering that should i logout and relogin again to my ubuntu? === mike is now known as Guest89619 [15:33] kniolet_: and another question: did you boot camp it to dual-boot, or go "whole thing"? [15:33] ValentineXX you've not done anything yet [15:34] ikonia: i put that line in smb.conf before [15:34] ValentineXX: samba would need restarting for that change to pickup [15:34] ikonia: how to restart? [15:35] !samba > ValentineXX [15:35] ValentineXX, please see my private message [15:35] hello [15:35] Hi guys, i just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and i don't have the "burn" effect in compiz anymore, does anyone know how to fix it ?

Is there a way to set it so that it comes up at boot time vs having me to have to login ?

I also use vuze. Now what happened to #vuze? Very lonely there/ [15:38] DB42-> do you have the .deb file? [15:38] is there a list of XF86 mouse key functions available somewhere? [15:38] It's still not working [15:38] does Ibex not support PS/2 or something? [15:38] NEWK then I suggest you follow the option I gave earlier [15:38] Which was?

I am using UPS [15:39] anyone aware of what has come of #vuze? Not much activity there! [15:39] NEWK: my gut feeling for you here is to 1.) boot into the root console from the boot menu, 2.) test your keyboard there outside of X 3.) if it works move your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/backup.xorg.conf 4.) restart your machine and lets see what state your in [15:39] n8tuser: Thanks :) [15:39] ikonia: I will try that [15:39] n8tuser: i did "dpkg-deb -x " [15:39] i dotn see it there [15:39] !offtopic > ksbalaji_ [15:39] ksbalaji_, please see my private message [15:40] fosco__, are you there ?

But running Internet Exploiter thru VirtualBox, the pictures show. So it's a client thing. Any ideas? [15:40] fosco__, where do i put my rom files at (?) [15:40] n8tuser: huh ? doesn't work [15:40] DB42, is it a repository package ? [15:40] fosco__, if you have xmame installed on your system, ~ [15:40] south_korea: wherevere you want, but make sure kxmame points there [15:40] joaopinto: nop [15:40] fosco__, oh isee.. ok let me try ~ :) [15:41] ikonia, thanks! [15:41] DB42, ok, so you need to extract the control archive with "ar" [15:41] DB42 oh, yeah doing a dpkg with extract option is the way to go, i forgot that its not a regular archive [15:41] n8tuser, it is a regular "ar" archive [15:41] n8tuser: EXTRACTING doesn't give me the POST INSTALL Script [15:41] joaopinto-> is it? i forget things, sowee [15:41] is there any way to edit cups-pdf? [15:41] joaopinto: how do i do that ? [15:42] DB42-> then maybe it does not have a post install script? [15:42] i dont seem to have "ar" installed [15:42] ahh, could be [15:42] bazhang: it disconnected me [15:42] DB42, ar t file.deb [15:42] dont have "ar" installed [15:42] DB42, then install it :) [15:42] Anyone had an issue upgrading Vuze form the Package Manager repo to the new 4.0 version which is not in the repo yet ?

[15:43] dont want to install junk on it :) [15:43] anyhow i guess it does have a script [15:43] DB42, ar is a very small utlity [15:43] doesn't [15:43] Hhhmmm, when I boot into the root console, my keyboard does work [15:43] anyway, I'm gonna move that file like you said [15:43] I'm having a problem mounting remote shares in fstab. The first mount apparently fails, but there's no related message in /var/log/syslog. Any ideas about where I might look to discover what's going wrong? [15:43] it clearly is the GUI's fault [15:43] DB42, there is no other way to check it (I think) [15:44] bazhang: ? [15:44] wos yes [15:44] does anybody here know if upgrading from hardy heron to intrepid ibex on an acer aspire one will work without problems?

[15:45] wos, you have to reboot? that does not make sense [15:45] dragon1: you are "not able to settings"? You need to rephrase your question and be more specific [15:45] ill do it anyway, what was the command again? [15:46] any aces aspire one owners with Intrepid ibex running? [15:46] *acer [15:46] just in case, DB42: "dpkg -e" can be used to extract the control files from a .deb :) [15:46] jrib:i am not able to set themes,nor close window,maximixe ...etc i ha ccsm installed..even that is not working. [15:46] jrib: I didn't check kern.log. I'll do that now. I've been searching ubuntu sites for *weeks* and found nothing. [15:47] OK, I tried that suggestion and my mouse and keyboard still don't work at the logon screen [15:47] bazhang: what was the command again?' [15:47] KentonS: not ubuntu sites, specifically the ubuntu bug tracker at bugs.ubuntu.com [15:47] wos to connect to your AP? [15:47] NEWK: thats ok, - lets step back a little, we know the mouse and keyboard are fine and that the issue is with Xorg [15:47] right [15:47] So what do I try next? [15:47] in Firefox, if i goto file > Print > options I keep having to remove the header and footers, it wont save the settings. Any ideas please?

[15:48] wos, you need to connect to your router and make sure the essid is not hidden and that there is no mac filtering set. [15:48] bazhang: ive done that [15:49] dragon1: make sure window decoration plugin is checked in ccsm [15:49] there are 2 good networks ive tried to connect to [15:49] dragon1: well, that's one of your issues. You are missing window decorations [15:49] both of them work in windows [15:49] dragon1: install emerald also [15:49] wos in terminal type iwconfig and paste.ubuntu.com with it [15:49] wos then give us the url [15:49] ok [15:49] I was trying to demonstrate file privileges to someone, and I found the following: [15:49] $ chown root:root rootfile.txt [15:49] chown: changing ownership of `rootfile.txt': Operation not permitted [15:49] Why can't i change file ownership?

(How the heck would I have even thought to look there? ;-) ) It complains about an unknown option "_netdev". Yet that's a valid mount option. I don't get it. [15:52] GBGames, any user can chown, but only root can change owner, since if not, then you wouldn't be able to chown it afterwards to something else.

Why aren't you using ssh? Or are you telnetting to eggdrop directly somehow? [15:53]  my ubuntu live cd wont insstall properly, it has a problem with partitioning the discs i think my cd is bad but this is all i can do right now, is there anything i can apt-get real quick to do this manualley [15:53] jrib: if i need to restore to my previous version, what do i do..? [15:53] Kudi are you using raid ? [15:53] dragon: previous version of what? [15:53] I am looking some help with a difficult xubuntu install. Anyone available? [15:53] awakebyjava: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [15:53] is there an open video converter for linux like, let's say canopus procoder? wihtout any editing capabilities [15:53] awakebyjava: what's the problem [15:53] fosco, and then after that? :D [15:54] Kudi: gparted ( volume has to be unmounted to partition )\ [15:54] ValentineXX: the error message is pretty straightforward [15:54] Okay, I am installing xubuntu on an old premio, and using the alternate install disc. [15:54] awakebyjava: Well, what is it doing that is going wrong? [15:54] jrib:previous version..8.04.. [15:54] the install cannot detect or mount the cd rom [15:54] jrib: so? [15:54] NEWK: I gave you several suggestions when you first asked your question. Have you tried them? [15:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/70038/ [15:54] im not using raid [15:54] it is booting the install form the disc, but cannot find the cdrom [15:54] ValentineXX: so I'm not sure how I can help you in more detail than what the error message says [15:54] jrib: I think I did [15:54] jrib, yes i don't know i know that i can control my eggdrop through telnet that's it :x [15:55] jrib: I may have missed a few [15:55] wos, you connected successfully [15:55] i can find the cdrom with grep, but I dont know how to tell the install where it is [15:55] NEWK: Check bugs.ubuntu.com for a bug and file one if it's not there. ctrl-alt-f1 will probably let you get to a tty and troubleshoot. A workaround may be to revert to your old xorg.conf for input devices (grep 'man xorg.conf' for hal for the appropriate serverflag needed in intrepid). https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X may also be relevant [15:55] awakebyjava: Hmmm... Interesting. Have you tried the option to "verify CDROM"? You may have a bad burn... [15:55] to the wifi network? [15:55] jrib: how to put that line in smb.conf? tell me command of edit again, i put that line at the end of that document before. [15:55] yah, it works just fine [15:55] wos, yes [15:55] ValentineXX: I've told you what to do [15:55] do you guys think it will work [15:55] caribou|: what exactly are you typing?

[15:56] when i unplug my ethernet its not connected [15:56] ValentineXX: change the ownership of the directory so you are the owner, use the chmod and chown commands as I said earlier [15:56] jrib, telnet localhost 3333 [15:56] NEWK: not forgot about you [15:56] oh, no, in the shell i dont have access to those commands, as i am running from the alternate cd for low ram [15:56] ikonia: i dont understand them [15:56] jrib: ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing [15:56] ValentineXX: what don't you understand [15:56] but I verified the disc before i begin the install and it works just fine [15:56] ikonia: those commands and man chown or man chmod [15:56] im trying to update 804 to 810 and i get the same bug as 156070 (apt-cacher bug with proxy). I dont run apt-cacher but am behind a proxy and unable to upgrade. [15:57] ValentineXX: if you type "man chown" it will give you help with the commands [15:57] bazhang: when i unplug my ethernet its not connected [15:57] jrib: how to rstore 8.04 [15:57] the install stops and shows me the installer main menu [15:57] wos, you know you cant connect via ethernet and wifi to the same connection from a single computer, right? [15:57] ikonia: yes those details are out of my brain reach [15:57] caribou|: pastebin: netstat -napt [15:57] ValentineXX: it shows you an example of how to use it [15:57] all i want to do i burn a disc really..is there anywayi can make the ubuntu live cd that i have boot up in the ram like puppy linux [15:57] cannot get through the detect and mount cdrom [15:57] ValentineXX: what do you "think" the command should be ? [15:57] dragon: you would need to reinstall [15:57] about the nvidia legacy thing. it looks like there is an updated driver in the repos now. am i going to have difficulty installing it with no working display? (because that's what will happen with nv for me) [15:58] ikonia: i check again. [15:58] jrib: (Or anyone else for that matter ;-) ) is "_netdev" a valid option when mounting remote shares in fstab? === riot_le_ is now known as riot_le [15:58] but in the shell i can find the cd drive with dmesg | grep -i cd-rom [15:58] bazhang: but i said "when i _unplug_ my ethernet its not connected" [15:58] x1250: I don't understand what you mean by "any user can chown but only root can change owner". What is chown for other than that? [15:58] my places menu seems to have reconfigured itself and now doesn't show the Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos folders... [15:58] wos, so you need to try without your ethernet connected in the first place [15:59] ok im going to try that. ill brb [15:59] GBGames, changing group? [15:59] <|neon|> i been trying to get my deskto psettings to stay for a while now, when i changed my settings everything works ok, however when i reboot the settings revert back to default, i tried session manager without any luck , any suggestions thx [15:59] x1250: Also doesn't let me do that. [15:59] bazhang: do you mean restart with no ethernet connected? [15:59] KentonS: don't know anything about cifs, but _netdev doesn't seem to be in the man page [16:00] jrib, http://pastebin.com/d1888ff70 [16:00] GBGames: it has always been the case as long as I can remember that only root/superuser can chown [16:00] bazhang: [16:00] wos, you can just restart networking without having to reboot, but yes take out the ethernet (or disable in networkmanager) [16:00] how do i restart networking [16:00] I was getting some help from someone a while ago, but he had to go and left me hanging. [16:00] jrib: Any user can chown their own stuff. [16:01] genii: really? how? [16:01] jrib: If you already own it you can chown it to some other user. But no going back after that of course [16:01] genii: That's what I thought, but I can't seem to do so. [16:01] jrib: It's in the mount man page. The fstab man page just says to enter whatever options are appropriate for the type of mount you're doing. [16:01] can someone recommend a app for editing/splitting a video file? ( GUI ) [16:01] genii: try [16:02] How do I configure my Bluetooth? [16:02] bazhang whats the name of my wireless network is it eth0? [16:02] IdleOne, avidemux or cinelerra maybe? [16:02] wos eth0 is ethernet [16:02] KentonS: ah, don't know then [16:02] genii: there are good reasons a user can't chown a file [16:02] Hi :) I know it was planned for 2.6.28 in order to get Lenovo's APS working without need for a patch...but has 2.6.28-rc4 put general disc protection directly into the libata driver already? Thanks... [16:02] bazhang: which one is the wifi? [16:03] OK, jrib. I'll continue snooping around. But at least you've helped me narrow down the search. Thanks a lot! [16:03] i can't use iwconfig, ... it's not on my computer and I need it, how can i do [16:03] The strange thing is that the cd drive is a scsi cd-rom drive, and it is recognized by the installer, but it is like it cannot find it when it looks for it. [16:03] jrib: Weird, yer right it's not letting me. I'm sure it used to be different. [16:03] wos wlan0 is wireless [16:03] x1250: thanks [16:03] Hi. How do I uninstall cairo-dock? [16:03] how do i swap mounted iso files in ubuntu, ive been trying to install a program, but it requires the image to e changed [16:03] genii: If I could, then I'd suid an executable, chown it to root and run it :) [16:03] How do I turn on my Bluetooth? [16:03] my places menu seems to have reconfigured itself and now doesn't show the Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos folders...these folders are now in Bookmarks. what changed? [16:03] Hi. Does 'rdesktop' use encryption by default or do you have to give it a switch? [16:03] keeps telling me its busy [16:03] Probably something security to prevent regular users from elevating scripts, yeah [16:04] IdleOne: for mpeg2 i use dvbcut [16:04] bazhang: wlan0 is not listed on my network list from that network manager in the system tray [16:04] ali1234: for avi [16:04] I tried using "sudo apt-get uninstall cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins" but I get a "Invalid operation uninstall" message.

[16:13] x1250: no, just download the deb [16:13] Help configuring Bluetooth in 8.10? Please? [16:14] x1250: you must give apt-get another option besides -d [16:14] wos1, you have to physically remove the ethernet cable or disable ethernet via networkmanager to get the wifi connection [16:14] try using apt-get with -d option, or install aptitude and aptitude download pkg. [16:14] bazhang: i already did [16:14] kosmos1953@poczta.onet.eu [16:14] DB42, try using apt-get with -d option, or install aptitude and aptitude download pkg.

Anyway, pass --reinstall [16:17] need to configure locales, please help [16:17] jrib: is there an apt channel ? :) [16:17] how do i disable automount (?)

[16:20] * DBO looks at x1250 kind of funny [16:20] wos1, you just said that you are now connected via a windows computer (ie the router has no problem) [16:20] oh, DB42 went off, sorry DBO :P [16:20] bazhang: yes thats correct [16:21] emilien_: sounds like a resolution problem maybe. are you sure that GNOME isn't trying to run at a resolution higher than your monitor will support? [16:21] disconnect === Tizz__ is now known as Tizz [16:22] chuckmoney, no im not sure , however have not touched screen resolution have how ever played with compiz could this be problem ? [16:23] bazhang what should i do ? [16:24] emilien_: possibly. try running a "failsafe gnome" session and see if everything loads okay. also, if you can get a terminal to load when your screen goes blank, try running "metacity --replace" [16:24] I need help configuring my Bluetooth, please? [16:24] Any help? [16:24] emilien_: if neither of those fixes it, the issue is resolution related. [16:24] bazhang: ? [16:24] I am not able to change visual effects to extra...its being displayed that desktop effects cant be enabled..how to enable it..? [16:24] chuckmoney, tired fail safe gnome same error , gnome terminal work tho using it now [16:24] hey on AMD Power Monitor it says each core is running at 1Ghz each but it has power saving on... How can I turn Power saver off and run each core at optimal speed? I did it on my pc but this is my girlfriends and its been upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04... [16:25] Hello. After playing with USB devices (keyboard and mouse..), after restarting, my resolution is not good anymore in Ubuntu 8.10. I can't select it (1280x1024) in the nvidia setting panel, it disapear. Also, I have uninstall and reinstall the nvidia driver with no effect. What can I do? thank you [16:25] hi [16:25] wos1, if your router is working, and there is no mac filtering nor hidden essid, and the ethernet is well and truly disconnected from the box (after restarting networking) then that pastebin indicates a successful wifi connection [16:25] Any help in configuring my bluetooth, please? [16:25] I already check Power Management Preferences [16:25] hey i tried to follow the multimedia thread on the forums but after messing it up once at the java eula and trying it again, flash doesnt work. I even tried to install the deb from adobe [16:26] wos1, if you are trying something different then it is a different story altogether [16:26] chuckmoney, where can i run metacilty replace i can't acces terminal neither ctr-alt-F1 [16:26] bazhang oh the ethernet wasnt disconnected at the time of the command [16:26] what was the command again [16:26] sudobash: go to a terminal and run "sudo dprk-reconfigure gnome-applets", answer yes, and then add the CPU Frequency Monitor applet to your GNOME panel. you can then click the applet and it will allow you to choose "performance mode" [16:26] !flash > sudobash [16:26] sudobash, please see my private message [16:26] Omar87: bluetooth should work without configuration. At least on Hardy [16:27] wos1, well then that would be an issue. [16:27] darkvertex: Somehow it doesn't work with me, it didn't even work with me in Hardy either. === wos1 is now known as wos [16:27] emilien_: if you can't get a GNOME terminal working it's irrelevant. running metacity-replace from a different virtual terminal won't help. it has to be run from your GNOME session terminal, i.e. tty7 [16:27] what was the command again? [16:27] can some one help me to enable desktop effects...? [16:27] wos which command [16:28] dprk-reconfigure ??? [16:28] the last command you instructed me to input [16:28] sudobash: sorry, that should be dpkg-reconfigure [16:28] ha6i, go to appearances visual effects [16:28] Omar87: what kind of adapter is it? what is the problem exactly? [16:28] darkvertex: The problem seems to be with all sorts of wireless connections actually, not only Bluetooth. [16:28] chuckmoney, i can't get to tty i tried , screen get stuck [16:28] wos, you mean sudo dhclient wlan0 ? why not write it down? [16:28] jrib: After a bunch of "man"ing of various things I discovered that _netdev is only valid with NFS. I couldn't find any information on how to tell fstab to wait 'til the network is up before attempting to do a cifs mount. Bummer! [16:29] bazhang:thats not working. "desktop effects cant be enabled" is displayed... [16:29] brb' [16:29] Opening up a web page in firefox with flash on it ( such as youtube ) kills all sound on my computer how do I fix? [16:29] ha6i, then make sure that the correct 3d driver is installed for your card [16:29] darkvertex: Somehow, wireless, in general doesn't work with me. However, when I hit "ifconfig", I find all the wireless drivers. [16:29] emilien_: well, I have to go do some work, but aside from spending some quality time with a rescue cd, sounds like your only option is to either reinstall, or delete your profile folder and start it over from scratch [16:29] bazhang:how do i do that...? [16:30] chuckmoney, damn thanks anyway [16:30] ha6i, go to hardware drivers and check that they are enabled and in use [16:30] emilien_: if you run "rm -rf /home/yourname/.*" in any terminal it should remove only the settings folders, so you won't lose your actual documents. that may help but you'll have to reconfigure all your programs [16:31] chuckmoney, ok thnaks [16:31] emilien what is your issues? [16:31] Omar87: Did you get any ipaddress on the wifi? [16:31] sweet thats awesome [16:31] darkvertex: It happened with me once and once only, that the network icon showed up and telling that it a wireless connection was detected, but never happened again. [16:32] darkvertex: I'm not sure what you're talking about. [16:34] i'm trying to add my second domain on dyndns.com, and it needs to be listening on port 82, but i can't use ip:port on dyndns? is there a different way? [16:34] hi, can someone recommend me a simple C environment like old versions of "anjuta IDE" ? I need something without all this "projects" and stuff, just make 1.c file and be able to "compile&run" with 1 key... [16:34] chuckmoney: pretyy dasngerous command there... what about gpg and ssh keys ?? evolution mail ???? all gone [16:34] how would i transition my home aprtition to be encrypted [16:34] ? [16:34] Wireless help? Please? [16:34] also, why does ctrl-alt-v not work anymore in gnome-terminal? [16:34] Omar87: wifi and bluetooth are different altogether. bluetooth doesn't show in ifconfig [16:35] darkvertex: I know. [16:35] darkvertex: Is there a command I could use to turn my Bluetooth on? [16:35] erUSUL: well his situation is pretty serious. He could try a hunt-and-peck approach by just deleting .gnome or .gtk but at the end of the day he would end up missing some settings and keeping others. often losing program settings is better than not being sure what is configured and what isn't. [16:36] I'm trying to build my system up from a cli install. I'm having a very hard time figuring out how to get the hotkeys working. I grabbed all my hotkey files from a live cd session but I can't figure out how to make them work. Anybody know what I need to do to get it working? [16:36] erUSUL: since he gets a login screen his xorg config is fine, meaning it's his GNOME config. GNOME config is hard as hell to edit unless you can get at the least a failsafe session [16:37] bazhang: though the drivers are activated i am not able to enable effects.... [16:37] Omar87: as I'm still on hardy, bluetooth doesn't need any command. I use a USB adaptor kind of bluetooth. what's yours? [16:37] chuckmoney: loosing all your mail messages is serious too. and your ssh and gpg keys lost is a pretty serious problem too depending on the use you give to them... [16:37] can someone point me to a workaround for flash / pulse audio conflict [16:37] erUSUL: since he can't, simply deleting the config is the best he can do. [16:37] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/70055/ === maha is now known as solofty [16:37] darkvertex: It's buit-in, I'm using a Toshiba Tecra laptop. [16:38] erUSUL: I agree, but unless there's a magical file the guy can remove that will delete all his GNOME resolution settings, he has no choice. [16:38] chuckmoney: i'm not against deleting config files i'm against given a command that also deletes inmportant peoples data like his/her *mail* [16:38] wos, that shows a connection [16:38] chuckmoney: not his/her mail settings but the actual *messages* [16:39] Omar87: please make sure bluetooth service is activated in System->Admin->Services [16:39] erUSUL: what command would you propose? [16:40] Hello. How can I convert and FLV to an MP3? [16:40] Not using a website's services, but using an Ubuntu program. [16:40] chuckmoney: something more fine grained... or perhaps just telling the user to backup evolution (if he uses it) and/or his ssh/gpg data (and other important data tha may be in ~/.* files) [16:40] can someone point me to a workaround for flash / pulse audio conflict [16:41] darkvertex: It's enabled. [16:41] amikrop: not sure, since FLV is a video format and MP3 is an audio format. maybe you could just use a good old fashioned analog loop and audacity? [16:41] are there no decent pdf creators/writers for ubuntu? All i want is to be able to file > print > mypdf, but give it a name too [16:41] chuckmoney: OK. So, an FLV to an MP4? [16:41] can anyone help me with a wireless internet connection? it shows that its connected but i cant access any web pages. I connect to the network fine on another pc. [16:41] I'm trying to use patition magic to resize my C: Windows drive so i can create a new partition but it gives me an error.....anyyone can help me why I get this error? Does it have to do with Ubuntu? error 1529: Information mismatch in directory === jin is now known as w00t [16:42] darkvertex: The networks icon, the one that shows the available connections, doesn't show up with me, I wonder why. [16:42] erUSUL: sounds fair. could we agree that /home/username/.g* would be safe to remove since that would most likely only cover gnome or GTK files? [16:42] chuckmoney: or instead of removing the ~/.* files just moving then to ~/backup/ folder [16:42] aboSamoor: are you Arabian? [16:42] Omar87: To let your other devices discover the bluetooth in your PC, install and execute gnome-bluetooth. The icon should show then [16:42] can anyone help me with a wireless internet connection? it shows that its connected but i cant access any web pages. I connect to the network fine on another pc. [16:43] amikrop: much better question :) I believe you could use ffmpeg to convert that. [16:43] chuckmoney: well yes except for ~/.gnupg/ ... === kostas1 is now known as ntinos_ [16:43] Omar87: On the other hand, if you only want to transfer files to your cellphone etc, use nautilus send-to command [16:43] amikrop: ffmpeg is a terminal tool but I don't know what the GUI equivelent would be. but ffmpeg could convert a rabbit into a turtle and then into a greyhound :) [16:43] uh-huh [16:44] wos: usb or internal wireless (i've never got usb to work) and which ubuntu version ? [16:44] seronis: usb and 8.10 [16:44] darkvertex: is there a command to find the nearby devices from the terminal? [16:45] chuckmoney: OK, thanks. :-) [16:45] Omar87: I believe it is hcitool scan [16:45] wos: usb is hit or miss on whether it works. i think we're both just out of luck on that [16:45] oohhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! :(( [16:45] erUSUL: well...sounds to me like a hunt-and-peck-for-the-right-file approach is the only option that wouldn't cause much data loss. on the other hand, my assumption would be that any user who is actively using gnupg (and thus is both more savvy than average and security-conscious) would also be doing somewhat regular backups. [16:46] darkvertex: I just installed gnome-bluetooth, how do I use it? [16:46] chuckmoney: fair enough [16:46] wos: but with 8.04 my internal had issue too.. might try my approach to solve [16:46] erUSUL: certainly just an assumption though [16:46] seronis: what approach ? [16:46] anyone know why md5 has been removed from sleuthkit [16:46] Omar87: find it under Applications->Accessories [16:47] wos: manual config. after it locates your router switch from dhcp to static and manually enter an IP. let it connect with that IP (still no internet at this point) then switch back to dhcp [16:47] for me that is the only way 8.04 would work with my highly generic internal wifi [16:47] Is there a difference between "reformatting your hard drive" and "writing zeros to your entire hard drive"? [16:47] d0htem: nope. sounds like a mighty strange choice seeing as how prevalent MD5 is. [16:47] gavagai: yes. [16:47] what ip though? [16:47] is anyone w/ ibex able to watch youtube videos with flash-non-free? [16:47] gavagai: Yes [16:47] LjL, i thought so, thanks [16:47] gavagai: yes, very much so [16:47] gavagai: "formatting" means writing a filesystem onto a drive or partition. [16:47] chunkmonkey sucks , now i gotta use md5deep [16:47] :/ [16:47] gavagai: writing zeros means wiping it. [16:47] choose the same IP that dhcp gives you for all it matters.. just choose one thats legal [16:48] darkvertex: my cellphone still doesn't detect anything.. [16:48] i have a dell laptop with this retarded 'media direct' thing and you have to write zeroes to the drive to get rid of it, otherwise the media direct button can destroy your partition table after reformatting [16:48] Is there a way to extract a tgz to disk and have it automatically rename the files that it's extracting by appending some unique identifier to the end (e.g., current time) ? [16:48] gavagai: writing 0's is much better for making sure everything is completely off... I once had an odd problem that was only resolved by writing zeros and would not resolve with a simple format [16:48] gavagi i believe ext2 writes to 0 [16:49] Omar87: lets do it the other way round. there is a bluez-utils package installed. it has hcitool, rfcomm, sdptool command-line tools that you can use to discover other devices [16:50] darkvertex: When I tried hcitool scan, it said that there was no such device. [16:51] can someone tell me how to install wireless driver for 8.10 [16:51] i updated from 8.4 [16:51] !wireless | admin_masu3701 [16:52] admin_masu3701: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs === r3b is now known as rebell [16:52] Omar87: if you do sudo lshw can you see your bluetooth listed?

And how do I stop it? [17:02] darkvertex: r u still there? [17:02] Could anybody throw some help my way =D [17:02] emilien: if you have a separate /home partition you could just do another install... just tell the installer the mount point for your /home and don't format your /home . You'll have to manually add users, but that is trivial.

There are distinct installers for either 64 or 32 bit systems. [17:09] hello [17:09] emilien: there are other reasons for the system to not boot, you should use recovery mode or live cd to examine your logs [17:09] why i cant configure my wired connection in network configuration ? every thing turn back to default when i finish configure my "auto eth0", i'm using "sudo pppoeconf" now and it's relative slow (slower than when i use wired connection), how do i fix it ?

[17:27] !anyone | jmarsden [17:27] jmarsden: 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? [17:27] nibsa1242: can't see any errors in kenel log neither sys.log =( [17:27] leohartx: what kind of connection are you using, DSL? or DHCP through a router? [17:27] er, james_ [17:28] any one have experience maiking debs from source? [17:28] jmarsden: Hm, I thought I fixed that. Lemme check... [17:28] james_: Best to ask a real question. Also, the forums have a lot of good information on running ET (and fixing the various issues with voice stuff, etc), you might check them out. [17:28] #join ubuntu-fr [17:28] Flannel: Did I really start a Q with "Does anyone"?? [17:29] AkariChan: DCHP, but i deleted auto eth0, and my wired connection cant save settings [17:29] jmarsden: no, no, that was a bad tab complete [17:29] Omar87: one last question: if you type hcitool dev in a terminal, do you get a positive reply from your on-board bluetooth? [17:29] Flannel: OK... Phew :-) [17:29] emilien: I'm sorry there isn't anything to do that I can think of. Best bet is to do a fresh install. [17:29] leohartx: you can configure dhcpcd to run in rc, that way you can auto get ip [17:29] and remove pppoeconf [17:29] sudo apt-get purge pppoeconf [17:30] AkariChan: i'm using sudo pppoeconf now, and it's relative slow ( more than when i use wired connection) [17:30] i need help to make a deb package i read the how tos but there are to basics.... someone have any idea? [17:30] AkariChan: do you know the reason ? [17:30] leohartx: not exactly. [17:30] leohartx: but do you have to use pppoeconf? [17:31] this is probably a stupid and/or dangerous question, but is it possible to make a logical partition into a primary partition? (i only have one primary partition right now) [17:31] nibsa1242: was trying to avoid that at all costs , feel like im in windows =( [17:31] Hi, I am installing 8.10 onto a netbook - I have already set ext2 partition to mount to / (6.9 gb) [17:31] the swap partitition, should the mount be /swap ? [17:31] or something else? [17:31] I need help removing compiz-gnome from my system. I can't install or remove any other software until compiz-gnome has been removed. So far all my attempts with GUI or text package managers have failed. [17:31] emilien: if your /home is its own partition, that would be easy... you can install off the live cd and keep all of your files in your home [17:31] AkariChan: yes, that's way i communicate you now [17:31] /dev/sda2 swap mount point? format ? [17:31] reqqit: no, the swap partition is not mounted to a mountpoint. Just setting the type to swap should be enough. [17:31] Omar87: Something like Devices: hci0 11:11:11:11:11:11 should be returned to you when you execute hcitool dev === rebel_kid|zZzZ is now known as rebel_kid [17:31] KDB9000: try sudo apt-get purge compiz-gnome [17:31] KDB9000, reinstall package first [17:32] ddfire: Have you looked at the Ubuntu packaging guide? [17:32] AkariChan: do you know how to make a new auto eth0 ? [17:32] ok cheers Pici, that worked [17:32] reqqit: sap partitions are not filesystems, so they are not mounted. Do not put anything for the mount point [17:32] fosco_, it won't let me reinstall the package [17:32] emilien: someone else may be able to help you, the problem is triaging it to know what is wrong [17:32] leohartx: just install dhcpcd, remove pppoeconf, reboot, and if you don't have an ip, run dhcpcd eth0. [17:32] jmarsden, thanks [17:32] AkariChan, failed [17:32] KDB9000, maybe you'll need to force things [17:32] hi.. i'd like to install apache 1.3.something, ideally with apt, but i'm only seeing apache2 on an apt search. where can i find the .deb or could i change my sources.list? [17:32] KDB9000: force [17:32] hey people.. just wondering if there's a way in the gnome panel to have a "window list: listed as icons" instead of buttons like the regular windows taskbar (i know xfce has an icon task-switcher but wondering if it exists for gnome) [17:32] darkvertex: All I get is "Devices: ". [17:33] 8.10 is awesome on the acer aspire ONE btw - really amazing [17:33] emilien: I had a bricked install that failed; and was able to fix it by chrooting into the install from the recovery console, but it was complicated and took forever [17:33] AkariChan, sudo apt-get purge -f compiz-gnome right? [17:33] reqqit: indeed. it works wonders on my eeepc 901 as well. [17:33] nibsa1242: no it ok il just reinstall had nothing i realy need in /home [17:33] KDB9000: yes.and what is the result of that? [17:33] AkariChan, failed [17:33] emilien alright good luck [17:34] AkariChan: how do i remove pppoeconf ? [17:34] KDB9000: what does it say? pm me the rest [17:34] leohartx: sudo apt-get purge pppoeconf [17:34] AkariChan: or i just have to turn it off ? [17:34] but before that, please install dhcpcd [17:34] ciao a tutti [17:34] Omar87: Then maybe you have enable the bluetooth in windows first as suggested by the article. Sorry, couldn't be any more help to you [17:35] AkariChan, nice to know! I hope you don't mind your screen not being as bright as mine ;-) :p [17:35] reqqit: there is a fix for it, in fact brighter than aspireone [17:35] darkvertex: Windows? What's that? Is it a clothing brand? :D [17:36] Omar87: :) [17:36] I need some help with pulseaudio. I am trying to use mpd, but pulseaudio is not started before I log into Gnome. How can I make pulseaudio start before that, so I can use mpd in cli without having to start it myself? [17:36] AkariChan: seem like that command will remove pppoeconf, is there another way ? can i just turn it off ? [17:37] Cyaoo a tutti!! [17:37] ciao a tutti [17:37] AkariChan, my netbook screen actually makes my eyes bleed and causes the neighbours dog to stay awake all night howling! [17:37] darkvertex: Bluetooth used to work perfectly with me in the old days when I was using that thing they call "Windows". [17:37] leohartx: you can do [17:37] leohartx: ps aux | grep pppoe and find the processid to kill it [17:37] this is probably a stupid and/or dangerous question, but is it possible to make a logical partition into a primary partition? (i only have one primary partition right now) [17:37] reqqit: haha. same thing when i am doing lectures in my clases. people gets annoyed saying that it's brighter than the projector. [17:38] darkvertex: so it should've been enabled already, ya know.. -.- [17:38] anyone from ubuntuforums.org? i can't post a reply anywhere... [17:38] oh.. sorry ^^ FreeNode/ubuntu is the same DALnet's ubuntu_server.. [17:38] vinicius: #ubuntuforums [17:38] nibsa1242: might aswell take advantage of reinstall , any way of having an encrypted whole partition? also recomend ext4 ? [17:38] Pici, thanks [17:39] AkariChan, I was watching the eclipse and the scientists told me I had to wear eye protection to look at my screen, nevermind the sun. [17:39] haha. [17:39] ddfire: i use checkinstall to create .deb's. in the final step of compiling, instead of sudo make install you type sudo checkinstall -D. you need to install checkinstall program first [17:39] :p nah I like them both. But the Acer has a O where the EEE has a P. To me, having that extra finger space of keyboard size makes a huge difference in typability. [17:39] Can anyone recommend a text based browser other than links/lynx/links2? [17:39] darkvertex: one more thing, the Networks icons, where it shows you any detected wired and wireless connections, it doesn't appear at all with me. [17:39] AkariChan: w3m ? [17:40] AkariChan: w3m [17:40] AkariChan, must run in console? [17:40] darkvertex: I'm not sure why.. [17:40] hi [17:40] reqqit: xterm or gnoem-terminal is fine [17:40] AkariChan, oh, I was going to say run firefox without stylesheets or images loading [17:40] reqqit: indeed. the aspire one is slightly bigger (10") and for fat fingers, it's more comfortable. [17:40] AkariChan: there is no such a pppoe process [17:40] hello [17:40] KDB9000, sudo dpkg --force-all -P compiz-gnome [17:41] whats the name of a good console bittorrent client [17:41] AkariChan, I will say I think the EEE I saw, white, with japanese characters on the keyboard, looked more like a cyberpunk deck than the acer one, which looks like a pigmy laptop [17:41] Omar87: I personally haven't upgraded to Ibex since there would be a few issues with my hardware. My experience with Hardy is favourable, so I'm sticking to it, for the moment at least. [17:41] md22: rtorrent is one I think [17:41] fosco_, failed [17:41] !bittorrent [17:41] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [17:41] reqqit: haha. to each his own taste. I like my form factor a lot. [17:41] KDB9000, wow :-/ [17:41] Omar87: About the network applet, may be you can add it manually through Add-To-Panel? [17:42] KDB9000: it's really broken now. [17:42] AkariChan, yeah, I like the EEE form factor, that is what I am saying :p [17:42] md22: I use rtorrent and love it :) [17:42] darkvertex: 'kay, thanks for everything. :) [17:42] okok [17:42] how do i install vimtutor? [17:42] Omar87: right on. C U [17:42] AkariChan, I have fixed it to were it sin't reported as a broken package but it doesn't help me much after that. [17:42] reqqit: i was going to pick up the aspireone, but the only thing drawing me back is its battery life and the fact that opening it up is quite a hassle. [17:42] AkariChan, on the A1, I am going to try and put an option 3G gsm stick inside it, take the case off and clip it onto the motherboard, should fit ok. Mine also has 1.5gb ram [17:42] hey. some wine gurus who can help me? got no answer at #winehq... [17:42] AkariChan, yeah, it was a real pain :p [17:42] Hi i have a problem with my audio chipset driver installation [17:43] I almost bought an Aspire One, then i saw the battery life :p [17:43] Any can help me? [17:43] FFForever: install vim (or vim-gnome). By default only vim-tiny is installed [17:43] hey. some wine gurus who can help me? got no answer at #winehq...

I think I've been using it for 4 hours no problems :/ [17:43] touchscreen? ooh. how did you do that? resistive? or optical? [17:43] is there and acer apire one IRC channel? [17:43] resistive. [17:44] http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg155/kazuninishiki/EeePC/ [17:44] really? thats twice what alot of people seem to get out of them. [17:44] blender segfaults on it tho' :( [17:44] I'll try with 8.10 and blender [17:44] AkariChan, you wouldn't happen to know anything about VRAM on iAKTOS installs would you? ;-) [17:44] ah. evil osx. [17:45] i do, for a bit. but not happy with osx so i didn't learn more :) [17:45] AkariChan, wow, best photobucket page evar [17:45] hey all.. anybody knows how i can stop my headset from being recognized as a keyboard (which somehow seems to cause troubles...) .. im a bit clueless about how to tweak "config/hal" stuff... http://pastebin.com/d5085e270 [17:45] thanks :) [17:45] AkariChan, iphone sdk tho'.... SDK works fine on my hackintosh, but blender says no VRAM, but system reports 256mb [17:45] gtg, later [17:46] ah. it's restrictive. it's been reported the iphone sdk won't work on hackintosh at all.

[17:50] Has anyone else had problems with creating a startup thumbdrive from a LiveCD? [17:50] sum-it: You mean a slideshow from stills, or how to record the motion on your desktop?

[18:07] why is it so hard to downgrade a system with apt-get? [18:07] i have 2 error during the installation [18:07] Somebody must know what is needed to load a Wifi-driver? [18:08] !wireless | regebro [18:08] regebro: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:08] Here's the full error http://paste.ubuntu.com/70097/ [18:08] regebro, in my experiences ( which hasn't been to much) the live cd does not always load all the drivers that you can get from a full install and update [18:08] suspect43: Looks like you can also hit g inside Emacs info mode and type in (filename)nodename to go straight to a node in a file. [18:08] I've already edited the .conf file, but am having a problem with permissions...not sure what the problem is now [18:09] http://pastebin.com/m267baa40 Output from xrandr command, why is the maximum 800x600? I want my screen resolution 1024x768 but it's not an option. [18:09] can some one tell me why my new battery and my old battery give same backup time? i know that is not the case but that is what ubuntu reports on my laptop. [18:09] permisions matter [18:09] Out_Cold: Yeah, that's the case, I'm trying to figure out how to load them. [18:09] quick question, i added a fstab entry to mount my windows share, but trying to access the files by anyone other then root results in a permission denied error. I think there was some umask code i was supposed to use in the fstab entry but i cant remember what thre entry was... anyone know it off the top of their heads? [18:09] Cluber, have you seen if your video card driver is in use? [18:09] hi I ran badblocks and the only output after it was done was this: 134217664 [18:09] How do i see that? [18:09] what does this mean? is this an error code? [18:09] Cluber, system>admin>hardware [18:09] xxSimxx, no idea.. could be quite a lot --- sry.. [18:10] "Hardware Testing" ? ubuntu 8.10 [18:10] drivers [18:10] I used dd to copy my ubuntu 8.10 partition to another partition on the same HD but now i don't know how to add the new partition to grub. I copied sda4 to sda3 if that helps [18:10] is it "umask=0244"? [18:10] how do i download a file through the terminal sshed into another box.? [18:10] ok =/ [18:10] k [18:10] Cluber, is your card in use? [18:10] What is a Terminal command to Delete a shortcut .......... the shortcut is a folder..... [18:10] jonathon, wget [18:11] jonathon: i think you have to use scp for that... i dont think ssh supports file transfers [18:11] xxSimxx, maybe an alsa-channel might be a better place to ask [18:11] Can i have an other option to install my sound driver? [18:11] How do i know if it's in use? I am just running "Hardware Drivers" now... [18:11] Like in the synaptic paquet? [18:11] AlabamaHit, rm -f shortcut [18:11] Out_Cold, there is no package named ntfs-reader (or similar) [18:11] It says. [18:11] fosco_, thanks :) [18:11] akazawax, that worked but it is .tar how i install that? [18:11] AlabamaHit, is the folder in your /home directory? then rm -Rf shortcut [18:11] Out_Cold: "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." [18:12] scunizi, i have delteed the folder already, its a shortcut im trying to delte. [18:12] loxs[], the package is 'ntfs-3g' [18:12] Out_Cold, thanks [18:12] and Cluber sorry bud but if it's not a proprietary driver i dunno how to help [18:12] spanish === sparda is now known as jNoxx [18:12] anyone know how to mount a windows network share with appropriate permissions using fstab entry? [18:13] only root can run the data on the share which isn't what i want [18:13] alguien habla español [18:13] jonathon, what are you downloading to install? [18:13] Thanks for the help guys :) [18:13] AlabamaHit, you said the shortcut was a folder or in a folder.. if the folder is gone then where is the shortcut? Still, if it's in your /home directory someplace then rm -f shortcutname should do it. [18:13] !es | kpo2008 [18:13] kpo2008: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[18:13] akazawax, http://irssi.org/files/irssi-0.8.12.tar.gz [18:14] JonathanD, irssi is in the repos.. just sudo apt-get install irssi and you'll have it. [18:14] danub you may find what you're looking for in the mount man page. just type 'man mount' === Pharao2k|away is now known as Pharao2k [18:14] hey people, i've installed xfce4-panel in the gnome environment (for the simple reason of the iconbox option) and it seems to work just fine but.. question being - how do I get it to auto-start xfce4-panel when ubuntu starts up so i dont have to open it through terminal? [18:14] jonathon, are you ssh into a debian based, or an ubuntu machine? [18:14] scunizi, what i had was i use LAMP and i use a shortcut to a folder in the home directory so i can edit the files freely but i mistyped the location and made a shortcut to a folder that really was not there.....and i got it deleted now...i was mistyping the command.. [18:14] scunizi, this is for a debian box not ubuntu. [18:14] akazawax, debian [18:14] while installing compiz with dpkg -i dpkg just closes with output "setting compiz .........."and it quits [18:15] rand0mabo, system - preferences - session [18:15] rand0mabo add it in system->preferences->sessions [18:15] jonathon, apt-get install irssi [18:15] is xubuntu debian? [18:15] jonathon: Same. It also uses the apt-get way [18:15] scunizi: Thanks, I can't find anything there that helps me. It tells me how to check that things are loaded, not how to load them.. :) [18:15] akazawax, i tried that said cant find package [18:15] I see the interface in lsmod, but not in ifconfig. [18:15] AlabamaHit: xubuntu is ubuntu with xfce frontend ( based off of debian ) [18:15] There must be some step missing there. [18:16] regebro, sorry I don't have any additional info.. haven't been through trying to load an additional driver for wireless.. all mine work out of the box. [18:16] ok, thanks [18:16] danub, /// /mnt/mysmbmount smbfs auto,username=yourusername 0 0 ---- this should work.. [18:16] cool, thanks for the help guys [18:16] jonathon, ah.. still it should be in debian's repos as well.. pretty common program [18:16] genii, akazawax and scunizi i tried the apt-get sayd could not find such file [18:17] hello all [18:17] jonathon, try apt-get update to update the repositories [18:17] oh crap... that might be why... im using cifs instead of smbfs [18:17] Hello there. Im new to the LINUX, Ive changed something in boot grub menu.lst and I dont know if I did it right. I would like XP to be on the top of the list and ubuntu after Other operating systems. Is this right ? http://pastebin.com/m38a3301a [18:17] ill give that a shot [18:17] regebro: Are you trying to discover the modprobe command?? [18:17] Thanx to the one that replays! [18:17] !pinning [18:17] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [18:17] jmarsden: No, I got that far. I modprobed the bcmsomething driver, and it now shows up in lsmod. [18:17] akazawax, did but same thing. [18:17] nope, still wont allow it [18:18] brb [18:18] But then I'm stuck. ifconfig still doesn't know of it. [18:18] gerek it looks good to me [18:18] Can anyone help me finding the GUI for X.org so I can configure my Samsung TV? [18:18] regebro: Then that module *is* loaded... [18:18] noodlesgc, u sure ? [18:18] gerek, looks good but I don't see a reference for xp.. where is it? [18:18] Yeah, should that be all that is needed? Because the networking doesn't seem to know that it's there. [18:18] gerek thats not the entire list is it? You do have an entry for xp above those right? [18:18] Is the GUI X.org built in already or do I need to download it? [18:18] Xiolar, are you sure that gui-program runs on linux ? [18:18] yea [18:19] its ubuntu [18:19] jonathon, what version of debian are you using [18:19] how can i update these packages? linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic 2.6.27-7.16 linux-image-2.6.27-7-server 2.6.27-7.16 linux-image-2.6.27-7-virtual 2.6.27-7.16 [18:19] jonathon: From #debian channel: irssi: (terminal based IRC client), section net, is optional. Version: 0.8.12-5 (sid), Packaged size: 1052 kB, Installed size: 2764 kB [18:19] news say it has got it from v7.10 [18:19] scunizi http://pastebin.com/m7ad379db [18:19] Maybe I can restart the netowrking. Hmmm [18:19] noodlesgc, sorry here is the entire list http://pastebin.com/m7ad379db [18:19] jonathon: You may want to visit there instead of here in #ubuntu if you want Debian-specific support [18:19] my fstab entry reads " //machineip/netshare /mount/point smbfs username=user,password=pass,utf8 0 0" [18:20] Xiolar, i guess we have a huge term-problem here.. ubuntu = os, x.org = windowmanager, gnome = desktopmanager.. in ubuntu 8.10 gnome (and all dependencies) is installed by default and theres no need to download anything. [18:20] run anything as a normal user [18:20] is there a 'soft' halt for STDOUT-put? [18:20] ok i want to install mplayer without to remove the 'libmp3lame-dev' and 'libmp3lame0..' how do i do that? 'svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer' did not work [18:20] so if I got it correct, its already installed then? [18:20] gerek I think its good [18:20] Where can I find it? [18:20] gerek, yep there now.. looks good.. I also leave a copy of the lines in their original location just incase a kernel update changes the upper part of GRUB.. also did you make a backup of the original file? if not do that. [18:20] how can i update these packages? linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic 2.6.27-7.16 linux-image-2.6.27-7-server 2.6.27-7.16 linux-image-2.6.27-7-virtual 2.6.27-7.16 [18:20] noodlesgc ok Ill try rebppt [18:21] kri: please check PM [18:21] sken try sudo apt-get upgrade [18:21] Xiolar, what program are you using to chat with us right now ? [18:21] sken: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [18:21] sken: That is, if there are updated packages available in the repositories. [18:21] mIRC but that on my Windows Machine, I got linux on the computer connect to the Samsung TV [18:22] how stable is the 8.10 now?? i tried when it first came out and had nothing but troubles.. [18:22] anyone? [18:22] hi, wireless on acer aspire, to have my system working i had to pass acpi=off to kernel but with no acpi i can't switch on my wireless card! [18:22] Out_Cold, just installed it yesterday.. and its nice so far ;) [18:22] Out_Cold, no problem here [18:22] kicco] [18:22] wrong way to do it [18:22] maybe time for a upgrade huh [18:22] Out_Cold it works for me [18:22] does anyone have any ideas other than fs-driver for getting windows to read an ext3 raid6 DRIVE? [18:22] danub: you might try addign uid=, gid= to the param line [18:22] google "acer aspire 1 ubuntu" [18:22] got 8.04 (Ubuntu) [18:23] how can i learn which kernels i have? [18:23] it's either i upgrade to 8.10 or downgrade to slackware lol [18:23] sken uname -r [18:23] my pc as i see is updated [18:23] akazawax, still wont work [18:23] is there a tool that can report disk io stats and list which files are being read/written? [18:23] xiolar, if your linux-installation starts.. do you have high-res graphics or does it look more like command-prompt in windows ? [18:23] danub: tnx alot! i didn't find it. [18:24] I have problems with createing shortcuts via gnome-keybinding-properties: when i try to set the windows key, it appears as "Super L" but i cant combine another key to it (like Super L is no modifier key). Other (default) shortcuts containing the winkey display them as "Mod4". Whats wrong with my winkey? [18:24] hi, what is the package for administration the user on ubuntu? the exact name [18:24] didn't find what? [18:24] well... gotta go roll a fatty before i embark on this upgrade [18:24] the normal 8.04 installtion [18:24] from the CD [18:24] Xiolar, if it looks like command-prompt, you fked something up during installation.. otherwise everythings ok and you have also a GUI [18:24] goudkov, lsof for open files and smartctl for stats [18:24] i have the "adduser" package but i need the gui that i find in ubuntu with classic installation [18:24] I do have the GUI [18:24] how do i find out what my users guid/uid is? [18:24] the only thing I want to fix is my resolution [18:24] danub: that page [18:25] danub: run "id" [18:25] kicco: but your good to go know right? [18:25] because now its only 640X480 [18:25] i must install on lite ubuntu without a complete desktop manager [18:25] feel for ya Xiolar [18:25] noodlesgc: thanks [18:25] danub, or "id " [18:25] danub: Almost certainly 1000:1000 [18:25] i install only gnome-core and gdm [18:25] I need help!! I downloaded this theme --> http://ubuntusoftware.info/software/themes/metal-theme.so I have installed it but when the usplash screen appears it is not full screen. I would like to have it full screen. Is it possible?? [18:25] akazawax, the irrsi will not install may it be by another name? [18:25] but i need a gui for manage users [18:25] genii: nope, im 1000:0 :P [18:25] irsii [18:26] danub: dunno [18:26] hello...i just moved something to "warkspace right"...how can i go to workspace right? :D [18:26] sudo apt-get install irsii [18:26] danub: You should not be in the root group [18:26] irsii? ok thanks [18:26] danub, genii is so right ,) [18:26] So I got Ubuntu booted up right now, logged in and that stuff [18:26] I thought it was irssi [18:26] Jonathon_ , it's irssi NOT irsii or irrsi [18:26] not find... === sepperl is now known as stups [18:26] hello can somebody help me i have ClearChat PC Wireless this headset it doesnot working with skype [18:26] i use irsii all the time.. it's irsii [18:26] yea, but i goot tired of having to type in ter pass everytime i needed to apt-get or do something administrativer [18:26] how can I add my 1360X768 resolution?

[18:28] Out_Cold, how do i open the gui of it? [18:28] I've uploaded a bunch of Linux distributions on The Pirate Bay and I need some help seeding ! :) [18:28] http://thepiratebay.org/user/Stalker72/ [18:28] irssi is not a gui application [18:28] Xiolar, i guess you already tried "system->settings->resolution" (or similar) ? [18:28] scunizi, thanks. [18:28] Jonathon_, just type irssi to get it started.. no gui.. all text based.. in terminal [18:28] jonathon_ for a IRC client with a GUI try xchat-gnome [18:28] @mooded, yes It only shows up with two sh!tty resolutions [18:28] Xiolar, as im on german enviroment the menues are titled different for me [18:28] you want a GUI irc chat client use xchat or pidgin [18:28] Out_Cold, i was looking more for a gui one.

[18:29] its ok mooded, your english is fine [18:29] noodlesgc, jonathon_, xchat without the -gnome is better and should also be in the repos for Debian [18:29] a Nvidia [18:29] jonathon_: get a terminal up and change the colors to black and type irssi you will learn in in not time [18:29] Geforce [18:29] but it wont let me run it because it has an error starting the daemon [18:29] got the latest drivers [18:29] the number1 benefit with linux is irssi [18:29] noodlesgc: that's not it. i need something to show me reading/writing which files makes the io system most busy at the moment. [18:29] because it advised me to download those [18:29] it works fine as root, cept for those annoying "we STRONGLY suggest you DON'T run as ROOT [18:29] messages [18:29] Xiolar, then please go to "system->system settings->hardware driver" or smth [18:30] Xiolar, you might try installed "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" to help adjust the cards resolution [18:30] Can someone help me seed my Linux torrents? :) [18:30] Xiolar, install the nvidia-driver from there.. (177 is the recommended version iirc) [18:30] anyone run a TS server in linux here?

[18:32] now iam in a low ress screen :P [18:32] Jonathon_, k.. hopefully it's not an old bug..

[18:33] any clue why i open my window my window flickers [18:33] Xiolar, if the drivers are indeed working and loaded you should be able to configure your nvidia-card x settings in "system->system settings->nvidia xserver settings" or smth [18:33] dd [18:33] kri: I searched for libtorrent in Synaptic and I got Deluge BitTorrent Client [18:33] d [18:33] kri: Is it that one? [18:33] Xiolar, did you install the restricted drivers mooded mentioned? if so in terminal type sudo nvidia-settings and the gui will appear for adjustment. [18:33] yes I did [18:34] Stalker72: no. [18:34] but where do I go next? [18:34] iam in the NVIDIA X Server settings [18:34] is there anyone here who might know how to host a tracker server for torrents or what it is called .. the server type or name ?

[18:35] fosco_: wonderful, thanks. [18:35] hi - how do I stop the CPU scaling under AC power? I don't want it to use on-demand unless I'm on battery. In gconf-editor (apps/gnome-power-manager/cpufreq I already have policy_ac=performance so no idea why it is scaling) [18:35] scunizi, here is the bug and the other bug of when i tried to do the bug fix on it. http://pastebin.com/m7bf27903 [18:36] Xiolar, go to X server display config then at the bottom choose advanced and see what it says in "Panning".. change it to what you need and make sure that Resolution is set to auto or the desired resolution. [18:36] ok :D [18:36] will try [18:36] goudkov ok, just found this, try atop [18:36] Ximal: If you have a webserver running the package name is libapache2-mod-bt [18:36] hello [18:36] thanks i think.. [18:37] noodlesgc: i'm checking powertop, doesn't seem like what i need, but a great tool. i think i'll be using it when running on battery. i'll check atop. thanks. [18:37] hey guys quick question how do i disable my touchpad on my notebook, it can be annoying [18:37] but genii : will it change my www.server to a tracker server instead ? [18:37] another question why when i open a window the window freeze or flicker [18:37] Hello I need some ideas on fixing my localhost. The problem is when I run http://localhost it comes back saying localhost not found. I've looked at a lot of similliar problems but still my localhost does,nt work. [18:37] I have a problem with the networkmanager in kubuntu 8.10. It doesn't work with static ip adresses. It would be nice if anybody of you could help me. [18:37] for a while [18:37] Ximal, there are plenty of trackers for dl.. i dont remember the name of a really good one anymore ,)) anyways, google for it .. you'll find loads of em [18:37] hey guys im installing 8.10 on a dell 1100 laptop with intel video card, I get the insatall screen then the install progress indicator, then a black screen. The system is loaded because i can alt+ctrl through the terminals but the xterms are just black. is there something special i need to do to get x to read my vid card? [18:37] jonathon_ never seen that and don't experience it on my system.. might be unique to his system and install.. he doesn't mention much in the way of particulars about his system and what's installed. [18:37] ironfoot_495 you need a webserver [18:38] Ximal: It's just an apache2 plugin to extend the webserver. It won't prevent anything else you already have from running [18:38] slowlearner: I do have apache2? [18:38] hi [18:39] tao? [18:39] the laptop was running debian etch before this. [18:39] thanks genii i appreciate it ;) [18:39] slowlearner: is there something I'm missing??? [18:39] ironfoot_495, you might try typing in 127.0.0.1 instead of local host.. for some reason I have the same issue on my system.. you don't need a web server if it's not needed.. cups is at localhost:631 or 127.0.0.1:631.. it's the server for your printing system. [18:39] ironfoot_495: is it running? check in terminal command ps -aux [18:39] anyone know why my sound would be disabled in totem, and music players wont load music anymore? it was working before and alsa seems to be fine [18:40] Where have list SCIM-???

[18:45] Jonathon_ you mean you started it in terminal and it opened the gui? [18:45] Hi.long time no see. [18:45] ischliky, did you try to set it in "system->audio" as your standard-output device ? could you successfully test it there ? [18:46] I can't even find a documentation of what paremeters there are for the boot [18:46] regebro: remaster the live cd? [18:46] yes scunizi [18:46] mooded, yes it worked say 2 hours ago, but now music players just skip songs instantly, almost like the codec is gone now? [18:46] So far so good. [18:46] what's the difference between "free" and "available" when checking a partition using the system monitor? [18:46] So far so gooooooooooooood [18:46] ironfoot_495 do you have a webserver or something thus the need to access localhost on the browser? [18:46] jonathon_... good it should also be located off Applications>Internet [18:46] slowlearner: yes, he has apache2 running [18:46] I just used DVDDecrypter through Wine to backup my movie.. now i can't find the files???? where on ubuntu is the "C" drive? [18:47] scunizi: Not Found The requested URL / was not found on this server. [18:47] ReyRey: wine uses ~/.wine/drive_c/ [18:47] jrib: Which sounds almost as complicated as repartitioning the HD and installing it properly, judging from the docs. :-/ [18:47] ischliky, maybe a permission problem (i cant explain what might have caused it) .. [18:47] ironfoot_495: cat /etc/hosts [18:47] ironfoot_495: paste that output [18:47] regebro: what are you actually trying to accomplish? [18:47] ischliky, are you in group "audio" (run : groups [18:47] hola [18:47] I'm trying to get Wifi working with the livecd. There is a restricted driver, and I enable it, but nothing happens. [18:48] ironfoot_495, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [18:48] hello [18:48] regebro: "nothing happens"? Is the module loaded? Have you tried just logging out and back in so nm notices? [18:48] mooded, i dont see an audio when i do that [18:48] goat_srv: I get a weird resonse??? [18:48] jrib: I don't know what more I would need to do, so I wanted to have the restricted driver enabled at boot up, to see if that made a difference. [18:49] ironfoot_495: from cat /etc/hosts ? [18:49] jrib: It didn't load, no, but it loaded if I modprobed it. [18:49] mooded, i have adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare as my return [18:49] hey folks. Quick question. I have LAMP installed. How do I share the www folder with people to preview things [18:49] ischliky, then "sudo vi /etc/group" and add your username behind the line: "audio:x:29" [18:49] I haven't tried logging out and in after doing the modprobe. trying now. [18:49] is it true that all ports are closed in ubuntu? [18:49] ischliky, the "29" can vary [18:49] automatik: no, thats false [18:49] after initial install? [18:49] CCmonster, make sure your firewall allows port 80 [18:49] ischliky, mine looks like: "audio:x:29:pulse,mooded" [18:49] hardy 8.04 [18:49] automatik, well theres very few services running by default - so most are not 'open' :) [18:50] hi jonathon_ [18:50] ischliky, dont forget to save what you typed in with : " :wq" then enter.. [18:50] Out_Cold, how do I check my firewall for port 80? [18:50] how can i check to see if the ports on my router are open in ubuntu? [18:50] ischliky, "the -- > : <-- ( i guess its called "colon" is important) [18:50] jrib: I can't find where wine is in all the folders? and if you put a period infront of the word doesn't that make it dissapear as in you can't see the folder? [18:50] hello test__ [18:50] CLI? [18:50] automatik: same as you would on any other system [18:50] CCmonster, if you have Firestarter installed that would be a good GUI start [18:50] ? [18:51] ReyRey: ctrl-h will make .wine show up in your home directory in nautilus [18:51] automatik, go to the webinterface of your router and look at the settings [18:51] question, trying to install nvidia driver from envy. when i start it goes into low graphics mode, but when i pick my monitor or something close to it ..i get a out of range error ... any suggestions how to avoid this ? [18:51] did that [18:51] mooded, atm it says audio:x:29: [18:51] automatik, use some of those portscanner web sites :) [18:51] i am trying to run dual screens [18:51] ischliky, then add your username behind the last colon :) [18:51] i just did an apt-get on firestarter [18:51] portscanner web sites? [18:52] ok [18:52] how do i check the firewall on ubuntu? [18:52] what do I have to do so I can make that www folder previewable from the net [18:52] CCmonster, is it installing? [18:52] automatik: for example grc.com [18:52] yes. its installing [18:52] ok [18:52] ohubuntu, check what part of it? 'sudo iptables --list' shows all current rules [18:52] done. Its installed [18:52] not much.. should be viewable out of the box [18:52] goat_srv: this is the result of ps -aux ping localhost ->http://pastebin.com/d59c1ee4b [18:52] automatik: no.. you would use the routers configuration page in a web browser [18:52] mooded, do i need to refresh anything then to make changes apply? [18:52] how could i go about converting my home partition to lvm encrypted? [18:52] ischliky, no simply save the file.. with ":wq" [18:52] automatik most routers are very closed as well.. at least the good ones are. :) [18:53] ironfoot_495: i'm sorry, disregard those commands, and type cat /etc/hosts [18:53] ironfoot_495, how did you install apache2? [18:53] ischliky, then do a "groups yourusername" to check if your in that group nopw [18:53] automatik: maybe you should ask more precisely what you want.. as in ask how to access your routers config page [18:53] the router is ok [18:53] slowlearner: I don't know what you mean??? [18:53] automatik: well why are you asking about port [18:53] ports* [18:53] Where is the "C" drive in ubuntu under WINE? [18:53] Hi, everyone. I'm having some problem with NetworkManager, and it seems I'm not the only one. Anyone have some updates about a fix ? [18:53] i only wanted to know if there are any closed ports in the kernel by default [18:53] oh [18:53] CCmonster, run firestarter and add a rule to allow incoming traffic on port 80 [18:53] scunizi: I apt-get [18:54] ReyRey: its a hidden file in your /home dir [18:54] mooded, i am added to groups audio now, however it doesnt seemed to have changed anything [18:54] automatik, 'service not running on a port' is not quite the same as a port being 'closed' :) but by default ubuntu is very 'unopen' [18:54] ReyRey: under .wine [18:54] ironfoot_495, are you totally text based or do you have a gui? [18:54] how do i access it? [18:54] ok [18:54] ReyRey: did you try what I said? [18:54] can someone tell me how to make 8.10 stop asking me for the keyring password when i boot up? [18:54] ok [18:54] how do i access that "C" drive under wine? [18:54] it says unknown error occurred [18:54] um. weak [18:54] ReyRey: I already told you dont repeat [18:54] ReyRey : in .wine/drice_c [18:54] jrib yes but nothing came up [18:54] !repeat | ReyRey [18:54] ReyRey: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

One is Ubuntu with default audio settings, and the other is an old Knoppix with ALSA (although I can run Ubuntu, too, if needed). For example, I am listening to a CD on my computer, I want it to play also on the other computer. [18:56] Applications -> Wine -> Browse C:\ Drive ... [18:56] ok so i have LAMP installed.

[18:56] I have firestarted installed [18:56] mooded, hmm ok well i guess im no worse off then i was, im really confused why it stopped, i can play videos and get video w/o audio, even like flash has vid and no audio [18:56] I went through the wizard of Firestarter and NO DICE [18:56] ReyRey: pastebin exactly what you typed and the full output on paste.ubuntu.com and link us [18:56] ironfoot_495: ok, now paste: ifconfig | grep "inet" [18:56] It says unknown error occurred [18:56] I seem to have lost wireless support on my Thinkpad X61 when I upgraded 8.10.

[18:57] ironfoot_495, try reinstalling but use System>Admin>Synaptic Package manager .. once it's open go to Edit>Mark Package by Name and choose LAMP. now click apply and it will install apache2, php & mysql .. [18:57] esr: be wary of how up-to-date they are regarding intrepid however. You may also want to check bugs.ubuntu.com [18:57] esr: seems to be NetworkManager upgrade issue [18:57] ironfoot_495, works every time for me. [18:57] ischliky, yup it sounds really strange.. i guess you already tried rebooting ? ;) not that a bad driver is the cause (for a rare soundcard for example) [18:57] i tried to browse for the C drive under Wine but nothing happens.. no window pops up or anything.. [18:57] scunizi: i don't think apache is the problem for ironfoot_495, his hosts file is messed up [18:57] scunizi: it will resart I just can't get it to resoond??? [18:57] Djainette: Do you have a suggested fix? [18:57] firestarter is open [18:57] ReyRey: I can't help you if you ignore me [18:58] goat_srv, ah.. ok.. [18:58] but it keeps being weird and saying i have an error when i try to actually activate the firewall [18:58] the program loads no problem [18:58] esr: nope I came here crying too... [18:58] mooded, i have tried rebooting ya, am using it on a dell inspiron 1720, had no problem ever under haron, just recently swapped [18:58] so go to the policy tab and click in the top box and add a new rule for incoming on port 80 [18:58] jrib im not ignoring you..if you seen my responses to your suggestions.. i get an error [18:58] hello, this is a strange problem with my lenovo r60 running ubuntu 8.04.1 64 bit. i found that the battery life of my thinkpad has been degrading rapidly which is kind of ubnormal. initially it used to show me 3 hours 15 minits battery life and now in 6 months it is just 2 hours. I thought it was a bad battery and got a new one today. but even the new one exacly shows 2 hours battery backup on full charge. my question is how is this possible? and by [18:58] scunizi: I have a gui. [18:58] ReyRey: I asked you to pastebin something, did you do that? [18:58] jrib: No, sorry. my bad. I was modprobing the wrong driver.

[19:01] bbl [19:01] but it says that the network device is not ready [19:01] binarymutant, prolly because there is no dhcpd / tftp somewhere in your network ? ;) [19:01] not sure how to overcome that [19:01] I have a problem here, I have Ubuntu 8.10, there's no audio output [19:01] esr: I filed a bug on launchpad, but nobody looked at it [19:02] if I wanted to access my computer's files over the internet from a remote location how could I do this?

[19:02] colton: sftp [19:02] Ljk: the problem is that the laptop goes actually down in 2 hours so even though i might be getting wrong information, the laptop thinks it is right. [19:02] if the box is a linux box [19:02] ironfoot_495: type sudo nano /etc/hosts and edit accordingly [19:02] Djainette: What's the bug URL? [19:02] Thx [19:02] ischliky, it _could_ be a problem, with a sound-server that _should_ be used and is not being used.. or a different one is being used.. [19:02] I'm pulling my ip, but it times out on the tftp [19:02] binarymutant: what are you trying to do ? [19:02] does anyone still use wine anymore?

[19:03] J2daosh: no i use virtual box with a windows installation and seemless configureation [19:03] mooded, ill be back either way [19:03] ischliky, so the reason why i was asking if you run audacious is, you can see there easiliy which output-plugin (alsa pulse oss asf...) is being used.. [19:03] i need help with connecting to wep protected routers i can connect to unsecured but when i go to connect to a password network an keeps asking for the password.... any ideas?

[19:07] ljl thanks for ur help on the battery issue but I can't make out a thing out of the info [19:07] just a small question; is kubuntu from kubuntu.org also a LTS version? or only ubuntu? both 8.04 [19:07] goat_srv: Still can't find it ??? [19:07] does anyone know how to let people view webpages I have in the var/www/ folder? [19:07] i have LAMP installed [19:07] it gives all kind of info but not any thing about how many minits it must go on [19:07] I'm not receiving emails through evolution, this is a recent problem, I think evolution was updated any ideas on where to start? [19:08] mooded, it appears a 3rd restart was a good trick to try, thank you for your help though :) [19:08] ironfoot_495: PM? [19:08] shane2peru: can your ping your mail server ? [19:08] ischliky, weeee ,) still strange though.. but no prob.. [19:08] Does anyone else have problem with randomly silent crashes of firefox since upgrading to 8.10? [19:08] audio was working fine on my ubuntu until sometime back wen suddenly there was no audio output at all [19:08] my problem is that battery is being reported incorrectly and i get very very veard results on it [19:08] ischliky, ill just try to think that your membership in group audio has helped after the reboot ;) [19:08] anyone has any ideas on theat? [19:08] HDready, kubuntu is community supported project, it will get security updates depending on the community availability [19:09] mooded, ya, it was odd, ill give audacious a try incase i get similar problems again maybe i can figure it out w/o a reboot [19:09] Djainette: let me double check, I was just on support with my host, and they setup an email client elsewhere and were able to receive all emails and a test one with no prob [19:09] CCmonster: if Apache is running the its simple: http://IP(or hostname)/name_of_html_file :) [19:09] i have installed apache2 and php on my vps for me to be able to host websites, i have also installed the two clients from webmin so that hopefully i can use a cpanel etc.. [19:09] goat_srv: what does PM mean??? [19:09] i dont know how to access this though? :\ [19:09] ok. that's what i thought [19:09] like for example even the new battery shows exactly the same time as my old one as if bios keeps some cunning memory about my previous record [19:09] Djainette: ping was successfull. [19:09] :-D [19:09] Peachz, webmin has problems on ubuntu [19:10] its on debian, i wasn't sure they had a channel though [19:10] Djainette: I'm thinking something in the upgrade messed up Evolution, not sure what though. [19:10] shane2peru: that's a start. Does it work from your place with another client ? [19:10] ljl: could the battery problem be a co insidance that the new one is exactly as bad as my new one? [19:10] Peachz, they have ;) [19:10] how do i get my ip in the CLI? [19:10] CCmonster, --> ifconfig [19:10] CCmonster, ifconfig [19:10] Djainette: good, question, let me run through and setup T-Bird to see if that works. [19:11] CCmonster: sudo ifconfig [19:11] jenda, no need for sudo since no modification ,) [19:11] shane2peru: check the "do not erase from server" option, or else you won't be able to download your mails in evolution later [19:11] then look for inetaddress? [19:11] Djainette: right, got to install t-bird first. [19:11] mooded: oh yeah that's true :) [19:11] CCmonster, yup [19:12] CCmonster, probably of your "eth0" device. [19:12] ok. So i have some files on a windows mount that i want to drop in the www folder [19:12] it says i dont have root axx [19:12] <_cb> How could I do the following? [19:12] <_cb> 1.- Give end users the ability to save program and settings (not data) to a bootable CD with a single click [19:12] <_cb> 2.- Give end users the ability to restore program and settings (not data) from a bootable cd with a single click. [19:12] <_cb> Am assuming I can script taring appropriate folders. Not sure what to do about Grub or how to script the bootale cd. [19:12] CCmonster, if you're behind a router it wont show you your public ip though. [19:12] _cb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:12] <_cb> Any ideas? [19:12] ardi_kk: perhaps the laptop is simply taking too much power? not being put in some powersaving / cpu scaling mode? try "powertop" [19:12] is there a way to allow me to copy/paste some files into that folder via the GUI [19:12] or will i have to do some magic via CLI [19:12] ? [19:12] where does emacs install to?? [19:13] CCmonster: why do you need to do that? [19:13] OK, I think I'm giving up... I can't get the LiveCD running on my macbook 4,1, and if I can't get the LiveCD running, I'm not sure I'm going to waste time trying to repartition the HD just to possibly discover the same problem with a real installation. :-/ [19:13] I'm trying to install Ubuntu in my partition... using the free space I created [19:13] http://img514.imageshack.us/my.php?image=testxt7.png [19:13] There is an image [19:13] i'm getting no keyboard support, in GRUB only, & i have USB keyboard support enabled in my BIOS [19:13] if some one can confirm my battery problem to be a co insidance then i will at least feel relaxed. i had a rapidly "going down " trend on my linovo thinkpad r60 battery and some times it was kind of good and some times the full charge at 100% is being reported 2 hours when it should be 3 hours. now when i got my new battery, it shows exactly 2 hours as if some memory is maintained [19:13] it happens after a crash, & sticks around for awhile [19:13] I made a few web pages i want someone else to be able to preview [19:13] Guess I have to choice but to stay with OS X. :-( [19:13] just to be able to preview it off my machine for a quick looksy [19:14] regebro: os x isn't a live cd :) [19:14] it won't let me put any files in the www folder [19:14] Amarok 2, yay or nay? [19:14] Djainette: lol, tbird was all setup from before, I guess I never deleted the configurations from before, at any rate, yes I could see my emails. [19:14] In Gutsy gibbon there was a panel applet that gave me a pull-down menu of available wireless connections. I don't see that in my Ibex taskbar. Does it still exist? [19:14] any help jrib [19:14] CCmonster, "sudo su" and copy your files on commandline.. [19:14] and it did get the new ones. [19:14] jrib: Yeah, I know...? [19:15] ok mooded , i thought that was probably the method i would have to resort too [19:15] Amarok2 is ok [19:15] shane2peru: OK now you can blame evolution :) [19:15] Djainette: and it did get the new ones. [19:15] regebro: so does the issue exist in an installed ubuntu? [19:15] i don't like the UI very much. They messed with a good thing [19:15] http://img514.imageshack.us/my.php?image=testxt7.png - will that overwrite my entire hard drive? [19:15] Djainette: right, I mean, I hadn't really changed anything, and just today it stopped working, which I have done a few updates today, so I had reason to think that anyhow. [19:15] CCmonster: you should set proper permissions. Create a group for editing /var/www. gksudo nautilus will give you a sudo-enabled nautilus but be careful. It's a better idea to setup a group to edit /var/www [19:16] jrib: Who knows? I'm not gonna install it until I can get it to work. [19:16] So... how do I set my gnome background without gui tools? [19:16] regebro: it works fine on my macbook after a reboot [19:16] shane2peru: sure, but you never know when a server is down... [19:16] jrib. I understand [19:16] i just need a quick fix for now. I can do the correct way after. [19:16] MTecknology: it's set in gconf. Use gconftool-2 [19:16] jrib: So you enable the hardware dirver and reboot? What version macbook do you have? [19:16] AnonymousOne, it looks like [19:17] AnonymousOne, id use a normal "installer cd" from ubuntu [19:17] jrib: any idea what option I need to set for it? [19:17] regebro: last version before the new ones [19:17] K, bye people [19:17] MTecknology: not offhand, no [19:17] mooded: id ? [19:17] jrib: OK, good, me too. [19:17] mooded: oh, I have a normal installer CD ? [19:17] AnonymousOne, there you can set partitions better.. (or use option "Manual" in this installer screen.. [19:17] regebro: everything works except mic and webcam. The webcam you can get to work too though [19:17] hi [19:17] mooded: manual says the same thing [19:18] But not the mic? Ok, no big deal. [19:18] !medibuntu [19:18] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:18] regebro: haven't looked into the mic to be honest [19:18] i just formatted my ubuntu partition and installed 8.10 in its place [19:18] now i get error 22 when booting grub [19:18] jrib: I have started a os x vs ubuntu thread here to help me decide: http://regebro.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/ubuntu-vs-os-x-the-deathmatch/ [19:18] any idears? [19:19] AnonymousOne, i meant by use a normal cd... "boot from it" ;) but just use "manual" and create a partition in the freespace.. should also do the trick ,) [19:19] any VM gurus? [19:19] jrib: Do you know which driver you use for the wireless? [19:19] ronhalfdanr, surely not a guru.... maybe you tell your problem first ? ;) [19:20] regebro: no, just whatever hardware drivers popped up [19:20] how do i see my true ip address [19:20] i am at a Panera [19:20] how do I point my dhcpd.conf to my tftp folder? [19:20] CCmonster: what do you mean, "true ip address"? [19:20] mooded: no problem yet, trying to get info before I do anything and make a problem [19:20] so 8.10 killed my gnome... how do i get it to work again? it just gives me a black screen but still shows the pointer [19:20] CCmonster, --> whatismyip.com [19:20] jrib: OK. [19:20] am i only allowed to join one room in irssi? [19:20] jonathon_: no [19:20] jonathon_: just alt-<#> [19:21] snarkster: Perhaps somehow the key combo which activates the laptop numlock mode gets turned on [19:21] so i found my ip [19:21] ronhalfdanr, so what you wanna know ? [19:21] but, if i go to myip/mypage.html [19:21] i get nothing [19:21] I take the first mentioned: Your favorite torrent client with torrent creating capabilities [19:21] KoFish, hmm didnt work [19:21] CCmonster: if you are behind panera's router, they probably aren't forwarding port 80 to your machine... [19:21] ok, I read the howto forge on VMware server..............not sure what to make of a few things [19:21] hmm. is there a way to get around it? [19:21] jonathon_: after you used /j # [19:22] mooded: first thing, it says to run the virtual machine you have to run it in firefox or any other web browser? [19:22] can someone help me i cant add any extensions to firefox [19:22] CCmonster: nope [19:22] fuck! [19:22] lol. [19:22] hey i managed to get the Cisco VPN client to work now but i get "Could not attach to driver. Is kernel module loaded? [19:22] errors [19:22] i uninstalled and reinstalled and that didnt help [19:22] facking panera [19:22] HALP [19:22] Oh, jrib, one last question: Does your CD also emit some loud klicking noices when you insert or eject CDs? Really scared me first time. [19:22] !language @ CCmonster [19:22] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:22] I hope it aint broken. :) [19:22] can anyone help me fix an 8.10 upgrade problem that gives me a black screen instead of gnome?\ [19:22] ronhalfdanr, "what" says that ? :) [19:22] KoFish, so i just alt? or alt name? or alt number? [19:22] i just need to let someone remotely preview this page. [19:22] !language | CCmonster [19:22] CCmonster: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:22] i get unexpected installation error view log for details -203 [19:22] the howto forge piece on VMware server [19:22] where is the log? [19:22] jonathon_: alt number [19:23] regebro: yeah, makes some strange noises like that [19:23] KoFish, thanks [19:23] hi where can i find tar source files? [19:23] jrib: OK, that's comforting to know. Thanks! [19:23] CCmonster: if you are internal to the network where the webpage is use its LAN address, not WAN address. The routers get jacked up on NAT sometimes. [19:23] atisz: apt-get source tar [19:23] regebro: no problem [19:23] KoFish, did not work sorry [19:23] tnx [19:23] :) [19:23] can someone help me troubleshoot evolution? it has mysteriously quit checking my email [19:23] ronhalfdanr, with a normal vmware you run os-instances... no need for any browser at all.. that's why im asking for the source of your information [19:23] regebro: oh, btw. Check the wiki for how to make your touchpad usable [19:23] mindrape, So is there a way to correct the NAT? [19:23] hey i managed to get the Cisco VPN client to work now but i get "Could not attach to driver. Is kernel module loaded?" errors!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [19:24] hi I ran badblocks and the only output after it was done was this: 134217664 What does this mean? [19:24] CCmonster - easiest way is to put the webserver in a DMZ. [19:24] can someone tell me why firefox wont let me install any extensions? [19:24] jrib: Yeah, I aw that, but I', not gonna bother unless I can get wifi working first. :) [19:24] jonathon_: read a guide, i'm new at irssi [19:24] or where the log is for it? [19:24] Yea. But i don't control Panera, so I dont have the option of DMZ.. [19:24] :( [19:24] oh no! nothing gnome works! not even gnome-terminal! [19:24] Hi all, I've gone a little further with my BT issue. Instead of failing to pair. It now says "Device setup sucessful." It still doesn't move the pointer, though. Any more ideas? [19:24] forget gnome terminal, get Yakuake [19:24] :) [19:25] :argh: ubuntu! how are you going to wave this fance release infront of me then ruin everything! [19:25] jrib: it says failed to fetch 404 not found : [19:25] regebro: of course :) [19:25] Hi I have a strange question. It has to do with the ChekSums ID , is that Autmaticlay vreated when one makes and ISO or how did that come in to play in Linux? How does it insure file integrity? I am asking this because 1 I am curiouse and 2 not sure how to google it for onfo [19:25] atisz: check your sources.list (I have to go) [19:25] joaopinto: that means? that if i dl kubuntu8.04 i will get the same updates? what is better kubuntu or ubuntu? i know thats not a qeustion which should been asked [19:25] ok tnx bye [19:25] how do i downgrade to the 8.04... that works [19:26] giacomo_c1, why would you want to? [19:26] 419 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/2.0.0.14im [19:26] im having really big problems to get my wireless internet to work on ubuntu 8.04 [19:26] im on gutsy [19:26] lee... nope that isnt automatically created.. [19:26] is that whats causing it? [19:26] can someone please help me [19:26] unr3a1: because 8.10 destroyed everything gnome related [19:26] lee, maybe google for "md5sum linux" [19:26] giacomo_c1, I am sorry [19:26] ah ok ty [19:26] unr3a1: i blame this on you, it is your fault! [19:26] HDready: One is not really better than the other, it's all subjective to how you like to work or how you prefer your desktop to function. That said you are in the #ubuntu channel where Gnome is usually the favourite [19:26] lee, np [19:27] Ive doing a bit of reading up on the Hardy LTS release and there seems to be a lot of bad press about it(Samba etc), have things ironed themselves out now? or should I go Ibex? Comments anyone? [19:27] giacomo_c1: lol. ofcourse you do :P [19:27] could somebody help me with tar recompiling? [19:27] hey i managed to get the Cisco VPN client to work now but i get "Could not attach to driver. Is kernel module loaded?" errors!!! [19:27] <_albertux_> hi what is the diference on libapache2-mod-php5 and libapache2-mod-php5filter ? [19:27] genii: yes but only i've ubuntu installed and now thinking of installing kubuntu [19:27] Hmmm I also can't seem to get the the PS3 version running on my PS2 lol [19:28] RobertTables: Hardy will have updates as long as it is supported, Intrepid is an intermediate release [19:28] when i type a command for example 'sudo dpkg -i audacious-crossfade12345678.deb' and i want any error message to be translate what to i type first? [19:28] eh I mean PS3 [19:28] jrib: hurray :D [19:28] hi , does anyone know that problem , that while playing a movie the screen flickers?(playback with xv , x11 driver) same thing if I run a open gl app. It doesn't make a difference if the fglrx driver is activated or not [19:28] $LANG:?! [19:28] jrib: hopefully things will work normally now :) === test__ is now known as dd [19:28] hey [19:28] can you read this [19:28] RobertTables, you want to use the machine to install on mainly as a server ? goto plain debian.. otherwise, for the desktop im very very content with intrepid 8.10 [19:28] can you read what i type [19:28] HDready: You can have both installed and then decide for yourself which you like better. Just select which from the login manager after [19:28] mooded: had to fetch fresh coffee..............lets start with I need to make a virtual machine to run twp big apps under WinXP for one and Under Win98 for the other but if the VM uses a full WinXP install I should be able to use the Win compatibility function to run the 98 app..............does VMware server let me do that? [19:28] or did you mute me or something [19:28] flood test [19:28] flood test [19:28] qowao: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:28] at any rate that is a diofferent beast altogeatehr [19:29] does anyone think running sudo apt-get install gnome would help? [19:29] HDready: the package name for installing kubuntu is kubuntu-desktop [19:29] is there any real solution to get atheros wireless to work in 8.04 [19:29] how do i make a dirstructure with tar? just having the directories and file names with 0kB? /empty/ [19:29] qowao: we can read you but i guess that not many people uses Cisco vpn [19:29] genii, so which would I be better off going for? Intrepid/Hardy - Any major changes? [19:29] ronhalfdanr, yup it will.. if its simply for testing your also fine with the normal vmware-server.. [19:29] if I want to run a command (say cp) for all files except one what would I type? i'm thinking some modifier to * [19:29] RobertTables: Every release of every distribution has some bugs... use Hardy if you need the long term support, use Intrepid if an 18 month support life is OK for your needs. [19:29] giacomo_c1: do you know how it happened? and what is exactly happening with your gnome? === CodeDrunk is now known as CodeDrunk_Work [19:30] RobertTables: Hardy is the more prudent choice for the time being [19:30] ronhalfdanr, for production environments id strongly suggest using "vmware esxi" (free for license) [19:30] erUSUL: i think everybody does if he uses vpn. did you read that? [19:30] not testing mooded, long term running twoo Win apps that have to eqivalent in th elinux world [19:30] genii: nah... i like also the standard programs which come with kubuntu live-cd [19:30] i have no idea unr3a1, it just comes up blank when i try to use my gnome session... black screen with the mouse cursor [19:30] erUSUL: not sure whether im muted [19:30] qowao: no you are not but... [19:30] erUSUL: the flood bot muted me [19:30] k [19:30] !repeat | qowao [19:30] qowao: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [19:30] mooded: , keep in mind this is a single use instance, not netwoprked apps [19:30] HDready: The "kubuntu-desktop" installs everything which the cd install version of Kubuntu installs [19:30] AAAHH ok on the check sum thing. [19:30] qowao: 20:29 -!- mode/#ubuntu [-zb %qowao!*@*] by FloodBot1 [19:31] sinlge user I mean mooded [19:31] hi , does anyone know that problem , that while playing a movie the screen flickers?(playback with xv , x11 driver) same thing if I run a open gl app. It doesn't make a difference if the fglrx driver is activated or not [19:31] jmarsden, LTS isnt so important.. just some things I was reading (see: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/six-annoyances-in-hardy-heron-ubuntu/) with regards Samba, which is very important to me, What are the major release changes for Ibex? [19:31] ok i gnore those msgs in this madness channel erUSUL [19:31] what compiler is used to compile ubuntu kernels? [19:31] too already [19:31] what compiler is required to compile ubuntu kernels? [19:31] ronhalfdanr, k.. then vmware-server should just be fine for you.. ;) [19:31] too many* [19:31] genii: ah ok.. that means i get every update i can get on ubuntu? except the updates for the programs? dont really get it [19:31] giacomo_c1: that's really weird. did you do an upgrade, or fresh install? [19:31] vincent__: install build-essential [19:31] ronhalfdanr, it _might_ be a PITA to install it though ,)) [19:31] vincent__: gcc I think, included in build-essential [19:31] erUSUL, already did that [19:31] ok, next question mooded, does VMware server make a menu item I just click on to run? [19:32] vincent__: then you got everything you need [19:32] but something complains that gcc is probably not it [19:32] i`ve got problem with booting the newest kernel http://paste.ubuntu.com/70130/ [19:32] any suggestions? [19:32] HDready: If you are using Gnome or KDE does not matter. When you update the system it updates anything you have installed on it, from Kubuntu or Ubuntu or Xubuntu or so on [19:32] [!] Kernel compiler and gcc seem to be different versions. [19:32] any ideas why i wouldn't get USB keyboard support in GRUB? it's enabled in the BIOS, & works at the boot screen [19:32] erUSUL: i think everybody does if he uses vpn tho [19:32] RobertTables: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810overview [19:32] ronhalfdanr, nope.. you "boot" a complete windows XP instance for example (and it opens in a window on your ubuntu) [19:32] unr3a1: upgrade... and it was working earlier too! but i rebooted and now gnome doesn't work... i mean, fluxbox (what im currently using) works fine, but gnome is shot [19:32] I've gotten further with trying to get BT working in 8.10. It now says "Device setup sucessful.". Despite that, it's not moving the mouse pointer. Any ideas? [19:32] hm anyone know what i do? [19:32] ok mooded, where and how would I start it then? [19:33] ronhalfdanr, if you want to run windows-progs you could try "wine" (opensource, free) or the commercial pendant crossover-linux, which works really nice [19:33] how do i start sshd in ubuntu. i cant find anything that even looks like its related to sshd [19:33] you could try a fresh install [19:33] me? [19:33] ronhalfdanr, (they gave it away for free a month ago - but was only cause of jubilee) [19:33] giacomo_c1: you could try a fresh install. [19:33] wine does not work for these apps thus the step to VMware [19:33] i get a error messeage but i want the messeage to be in english when i type 'sudo dpkg -i lala-lala.deb' you put $LANG... or something before the dpkg -i... anyone know what to type? [19:33] genii: sounds good.. so i can use kubuntu without have fear to get no good support :) [19:33] crossover also does not work [19:33] unr3a1: i know i could, but if im going to be fresh installing anything, it will be debian because ubuntu has betrayed me one too many times [19:33] i mean, i've been using ubuntu since 5.04 [19:34] kri: Try LANG=C [19:34] kri: LC_ALL=C [19:34] giacomo_c1: well you can't give up now!! === azhar27 is now known as azharcs [19:34] i`ve got problem with booting the newest kernel http://paste.ubuntu.com/70130/ [19:34] unr3a1: hahaha [19:34] 'export LANG=en_US' = [19:34] ? [19:34] but where === nick__ is now known as Skky [19:35] anyone running lamp-server? [19:35] ronhalfdanr, there's a vmware-server-console which allows you starting vmware-instances .. [19:35] hmmm, gnome isn't even selected under synaptic... should it be. DOES EVERYONE ELSE HAVE GNOME GREEN UNDER SYNAPTIC?! [19:35] loller: o you don't, read that message more carefully. You already have the latest kernel installed just fine. [19:35] hello? how do i start an ssh server on my ubuntu installation? [19:35] ok mooded, that's what I needed to know on how to use it once I have it setup [19:35] giacomo_c1, upgades don't always go smoothly on some systems for whatever reason.. that's why I always have a seperate /home partition .. just in case I need to do a fresh install. [19:35] ronhalfdanr, from there you will see the "window" i was talking about too (in the window is your normal windows desktop) [19:35] i cant find anything related to sshd in the menus or in the services thingie or anywhere else for that matter [19:35] HDready: You could look at it like that I suppose :) [19:36] i cant even find anything avaiable for install OR installed [19:36] mark4: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [19:36] scunizi: it's just gnome that failed... everything else seems to work pretty fine [19:36] next question mooded, both apps and the WinXP install will need to access the web to activate, any idea what networking to tell VMware server to use when I install it? [19:36] giacomo_c1, k.. no gnome selected here in my system in synaptics [19:36] giacomo_c1: well you can't. sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages and reinstall ubuntu fresh [19:36] Hi - Will PokerStars.Net - run under Wine ? ? [19:36] there's only one more question coming for now [19:36] anyone knows a good page on how to setup a webcam with ubuntu? i don't seem to get it to work :( [19:37] hi i have a problem with xserver, after downloading gnome it doesnt start anything, only login screen is shown (in text mode) what should i do to start login screen automatically? [19:37] genii: sounds good.. if not i will find you :P.. thanks so far [19:37] nite_johnboy: Yes it does, my friend uses it [19:37] hey in a standard ubuntu install, could it be somehow insecure to enter another network via VPN? pls help [19:37] magentar what model? [19:37] sec [19:37] nite_johnboy yes very well [19:37] im not even going to ask why my GUI installer didnt show me anything related to sshd :/ [19:37] ty [19:37] backup that my-packages to a flash drive or something [19:37] ronhalfdanr, you can configure it in different ways.. you can tell the instance to use your normal "host" connection (the same ip you use currently) .. or you can configure it completey on its own (virtual network interface) [19:37] genii: Sweet - Thanks much! [19:37] afk for a min [19:38] ronhalfdanr, the instances will be able to connect to the web [19:38] * unr3a1 has stepped away for a min [19:38] ok, will use normal since it only needs web access to activate stuff on install. [19:38] if I want to run a command (say cp) for all files except one what would I type? something like *[not= filename] [19:38] marek_, how to find out? somewhere in /proc i guess [19:38] anyone running lamp-server?

[19:39] last question for now mooded...........I read somewhere in the reams of confusing stuff on VMware that having the WinXP install on the boot drive for ubuntu can cause problems...........does that mean I need to tell VMware to use space on one of my data drives for the VM space? [19:39] Skky, you have to install and compile a kernel [19:39] Skky, sry wrong [19:40] i can't connect to yahoo in pidgin. it says "Unknown error number 29.

[19:42] qowao: to answer your question, the security of entering another network via VPN is the same security as joining that network via LAN (inside the network) [19:42] hm i get this error msg when i try to 'sudo dpkg -i audacious-crossfade_0.3.14-1buld1_i386.deb' http://sajten.net/errormsg what does it mean? what should i do?

[19:43] mooded: I know that much, what I read said it is a bad idea for that filespace to be on the root drive............is that possibly true and should I have VMware use space on one of my other 3 drives?

[20:12] maverick340 you will then have an options tab in the volume control - check the mic boost [20:12] I installed apache2, php5, and mysql :: the issue I have is that i need to connect to the MySQL db from another machine, and the only open port is 80 - iptables is not running... what do I do? [20:12] mooded, I was afraid of that. I had bad luck with 64-bit on 7.10 so I want to go with 32-bit on this new machine and then upgrade to 64-bit if that becomes necessary. [20:12] UserC, yes.. make your programs use soundservers... dunno if skype can do that .. (as i use a separate soundcard of my headset for skype calls) [20:13] lo all anyone installed 8.10 on a machien with raid drives? [20:13] mib_iio7qtya, you can ask here, or #kubuntu if it is kde related [20:13] noah_, so it did become necessary ? why ? === mib_iio7qtya is now known as BorkisDrizzt [20:13] jma lol ty ;0 [20:13] joebodo nope dont see mic boost [20:13] co-creator: you're using an onboard soundcard, right? [20:13] mark4: No problem [20:13] bakermd, you need to change your mysel configuration, /etc/mysql/my.cnf [20:13] mysql [20:13] mooded: how do i do that? [20:13] do you have a mic slider in the volume control ? [20:13] genii: There's a thing called MaxiVista for XP that does this. So... I'm sure X can do it too. :P [20:13] Slart:yes [20:14] joaopinto: Thanks [20:14] I can't control wireless probably.. When I shut it down I can't open it again until I restart my computer [20:14] maverick340 do you have a mic slider in the volume control ? [20:14] mooded, It is note necessary yet. I just want to know what my risks are. [20:14] bakermd, you have to change mysql config file and open mysql port (3306 i think) [20:14] yes [20:14] this is just pissing me off that i cant connect to wireless networks [20:14] Slart:i m using an onboard soundcard [20:14] MustafaAhmed: Can you please rephrase your question. [20:14] UserC, in most cases one can select a sound-output-plugin for programs supporting that.. [20:14] I just installed ubuntu from the website. Is it hardy ? [20:14] It shows port 3306 open if I do a port scan locally, but not remotely [20:14] bakermd, you need to change an option to be able to use mysql on a remote pc, I dont remember what option but it is in my.cnf file [20:14] * unr3a1 is back now [20:15] what did I miss? [20:15] gnome's default soundserver (at least in 8.10) seems to be pulse (you should select that then..) [20:15] UserC, gnome's default soundserver (at least in 8.10) seems to be pulse (you should select that then..) [20:15] !ho [20:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about ho [20:15] !who [20:15] 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 :) [20:15] mooded: never seen something like that in the sound output selection [20:15] mooded: i don't have pulse in there [20:15] i see the bind address though - makes sense now - Thanks!! [20:15] chuy, I should be able to keep all my data in /home user directories. I wonder if MySQL data in /var will have any issues. [20:15] Whats the channel for getting help at kmplayer? [20:15] UserC, so what choices do you have there ? [20:15] co-creator: well.. at least you know that alsa knows about your soundcard.. what happens if you run "aplay /dev/urandom" in a terminal? if everything works it will make a hissing sound, quite possible very loud [20:15] maverick340 did you try a test call in skype (skype sound devices) ? [20:15] Pici: I have Intel chipset wireless module. When I start ubuntu it works fine..... but when I switch it off then try to switch on again it doesn't respond. it keeps off. I have to restart my computer [20:16] yes, it says problem with audio capture [20:16] sec === Guest81260 is now known as nintendork32 [20:16] alsamixr shows me pulseaudio :-/ [20:16] noah_, yes, you have to do a back up, you can back up the data with phpmyadmin, or mysqladmin for mysql, and back up your /home directory too [20:16] maverick340 did you try changing the sound in device ? [20:16] guys having problems installing on a machine with raid it gives me the three drives as seperate entities instead of one masive 1.5Tb drive [20:16] card PulseAudio , PulseChip [20:16] is there any distro that automatically supports atheros AR5007eg drivers [20:16] MustafaAhmed: Does it show up in network manager after you turn it back on? [20:16] aldur1, what raid-controller ? [20:16] yes, i can hear the audio but audio capture doesnt work for any settting [20:16] mooded: well i have default.. hdmi, headset and many intel ICH5 [20:17] maverick340, have you selected your hw device for the micro on the skype config ? [20:17] i'm cant connect my bluetooth headset to ubuntu guy at wallmart said it would work fine and that he uses it .. my pc has bluetooth .. how do i get it to send sound thru bluetooth ? [20:17] Nvidia I think? [20:17] If nikki__ returns tell him about dmx [20:17] how would I find out in vista [20:17] yes [20:17] where do I configure my hostname in gnome? [20:17] its not only skype, mic simply wont work [20:17] mooded: i needed to find the right intel ICH5 to get skype to work [20:17] even sound recorder [20:17] marerick340 i had to swith it from pulse to my hardware device [20:17] its hard ware as I just reinstalled vista to leave some free space for ubuntu [20:17] chuy, ah well, too bad. I was hoping I could just reinstall over the ext3 partition and keep /home and /var untouched. [20:18] I don't have network manager.. I have this icon in the taskbar... but it removes the wireless connection choice from it [20:18] noah_, I think theres an option in the installer to make a partition for /home for this to not happen again. [20:18] Pici:I don't have network manager.. I have this icon in the taskbar... but it removes the wireless connection choice from it [20:18] UserC, doesnt sound like skype supports non-exclusive access to your soundcard then.. btw - did you try out "headset" ? ;)) [20:19] noah_, you can keep /home untouched, but not /var [20:19] maverick340 i also change my sound capture to also vmi DMA in the sound preferences [20:19] I tested the sound devices from Preferences and it seams the sound it's not continous for any of the devices. What do i have to do know ? [20:19] Pici: I don't have network manager.. I have this icon in the taskbar... but it removes the wireless connection choice from it [20:19] MustafaAhmed: Are you turning off the wireless from the kill-switch or are you hibernating or suspending the laptop? [20:19] mooded: yep, it just gives me an audio error if i chose it lol [20:19] Pici: no.. I use the fn key [20:20] UserC, skype does not support pulseaudio for the capture, you need to specify your mic hw device [20:20] UserC, damn ,) well it was worth a try.. sry im out of hints atm [20:20] MustafaAhmed: What wireless chipset? [20:20] sharperguy, hostname command [20:20] mooded: lol ok [20:20] joaopinto: don't really know what that means.. need to go though.. [20:20] maverick340 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype [20:20] i'm cant connect my bluetooth headset to ubuntu guy at wallmart said it would work fine and that he uses it .. my pc has bluetooth .. how do i get it to send sound thru bluetooth ? [20:21] Intel pro... I don't know its number... I don't know where can I find the device manager in ubuntu [20:21] Pici: Intel pro... I don't know its number... I don't know where can I find the device manager in ubuntu [20:21] joaopinto: OK, so I'll just have to review what I need in /var -- for my application, I think just the MySQL database. [20:21] Is sshd not installed by default? I tried apt-get install sshd and it does not know what I want... [20:21] bakermd: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [20:22] jmarsden: Thanks!! [20:22] how do i find out if my laptop is i386 or amd64 [20:22] Slart:it says "playing raw data '/dev/urandom' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono" but i can't hear anything [20:22] it's a system76 darter ultra [20:22] bakermd, "apt-cache search ssh" would have helped in that case ,) [20:22] Aaa... can i get a little help here ? [20:23] pyrak: cat /proc/cpuinfo [20:23] pyrak: sudo lshw [20:23] co-creator: check in system, preferences, sound. Is everything set to alsa? pulseaudio? try changing [20:23] !xterm [20:23] If with all the cute terminals that are around you're still using xterm, then you deserve any problem you're experiencing with it. Go away. [20:23] MustafaAhmed: Unforunately, it looks like the bugtracker launchpad.net is down, so I'm unable to look for a bug currently. [20:23] noah_, to backup the mysql database you should use mysqldump [20:24] MustafaAhmed: you can try to do: sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart instead of rebooting your computer next time. Or look on Launchpad in a few minutes. [20:24] so it's intel core 2 duo [20:24] okay i think i got it done [20:24] noah_, and make sure you are not using /var/www for your own contents [20:24] that's i386 i'm guessing? [20:24] i'm cant connect my bluetooth headset to ubuntu guy at wallmart said it would work fine and that he uses it .. my pc has bluetooth .. how do i get it to send sound thru bluetooth ? [20:24] thanks [20:24] pyrak: Core2 is usually 64bit [20:25] pyrak: Well, that is an Intel CPU, not an AMD one. It can run 32bit "i386" code... but can also run 64bit if asked to [20:25] some one had install a mail server in ubuntu server ??? [20:25] Sound in : (hw:NVidia,0) ; Sound out:pulse ; Ringing: HDA NVIdia (hw:NVidia,0) [20:25] these are the settings i am using [20:25] jmarsden, so which ubuntu do you recommend installing? [20:25] all trial and error, but the call testing worked fine [20:25] Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz [20:26] I'm starting to hate myself and you as well... [20:26] pyrak: on a notebook and you are a beginner? The i386 (32bit) one will be fine. [20:26] Hey people === haptiK is now known as gonadsAndStrife [20:26] pamchi, postfix is one of the best i know [20:26] what do you people use to edit the xorg.config. [20:26] vegombrei: first, make sure you have started bluetooth service in System->Admin->Services. Then check that it works with hcitool dev [20:27] when I type: "X 1:& term -display :1 &" it says DISPLAY is not set. HELP! [20:27] grendal_prime: gedit works for me [20:27] mine is totally jacked and i wanted to run the dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver but....well it does nothing with the video card? [20:27] grendal_prime: I use either sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.comf or gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:27] darkvertex: checking .. one sec === Sted is now known as Idi [20:28] ThRixXx, "export DISPLAY=:0.1" maybe.. (if that is the actual cause of error) ;) [20:28] no no no thats not what i mean...ii use nano for directly editing that, i thought that 8.10 had some hardware detection advantage in it. [20:28] must I type that ? [20:28] it is not detecting my 845 intel video card (and i find that rather un-impressive) [20:28] is there a way to make a job run in background but still ask for passwords? [20:28] memeemeee, no [20:28] memeemeee: why would yo uwant to do that? [20:28] ThRixXx, no you could also say it to your computer and wait. === gonadsAndStrife is now known as haptiK [20:29] grendal_prime: it does.. most of the stuff in xorg.conf is autodetected.. or should be at least [20:29] ya this blows...install went ok but im having to use the vesa driver [20:29] ty [20:29] memeemeee: If the program is ssh, there is the -f options... is that what you mean? [20:29] darkvertex: bluetooth is enabled there .. i can see the bluetooth icon too .. it finds my headset .. but it crashes then .. i need to know how to restart that bluetooth service and then reconnect to my headset .. [20:29] it instaleld the drivers for it..but x never got configured for it [20:30] mooded, now it says : Cant open display :1 [20:30] vegombrei: What does hcitool dev says? Follow it with hcitool scan [20:30] hi [20:30] ThRixXx, maybe lets start the other way round.. what are you actually trying to do ? [20:30] hello [20:31] I want to make an alias to make sudo rsync but It can take time. want to be asked passwords but have the heavy lifting to take place in the bg grendal_prime [20:31] trying to run a game via. wine in a separate window [20:32] hey, I did I don't know what while I was modifying my display on a fresh install of ubuntu and now I xorg is reading the xorg.conf.failsafe instead of xorg.conf How do I go back to that ? [20:32] Hi I think I may have found a bug. Currently Xorg on my other box is completely eating one core. And the system is unusable. I can however ssh into it. [20:32] darkvertex: i did the hcitool scan and then connect to mac address .. it doesnt connect i get a host has shut down msg [20:32] Any idea on how to get the system going again? [20:32] What the hell is wrong with my sound card realtek ALC662 ? The sound is buzzy [20:33] What's a bitmap font that comes pre-installed on most linux machines (and looks decent) ? [20:33] mooded, trying to run a game via. wine in a separate window. [20:33] balachmar, I had that, it was caused by Flash 9, I haven't seen it in Flash 10 [20:33] bullet234: it's an onboard soundcard? drivers are new/untested/buggy? interference from other stuff in the computer? [20:33] fizbit: so it is firefox related? [20:33] but not sure if it is the same issue from such a small glance [20:33] memeemeee: Do sudo make rsync and then use ctrl-Z and then bg %1 to background the task after it has asked you for the pw? [20:33] ThRixXx, ok.. and you have two monitors ? or why do you use :1 ? [20:34] memeemeee: look into some sort of task scheduler. Im sure there is one for each of the desktops out that...(im assuming that you are running this on a workstion) [20:34] bullet234: oh.. and you might want to watch the language.. the admins are pretty strict when it comes to profanity [20:34] Slart, it's a fresh install. The sound card is onboard. [20:34] fizbit: I just killed -15 firefox and it is still frozen [20:35] vegombrei: did you try to connect with hcitool cc? [20:35] Slart, no problem, but it is kinds stressful ... [20:35] yes jmarsden I could do that. just wondering if there is a way to have bg surface when an input is required instead of stopping [20:35] kinda* [20:35] balachmar, I could never get it to stop without a hard reset [20:35] HCI authentication request failed: Input/output error [20:35] my bluetooth stoped working :( [20:35] fizbit: ok and you updated flash yourself? [20:36] In some previous version of Ubuntu I double clickked on a gnumeric file and it suggested I should install gnumeric. [20:36] bullet234: I've never seen a solution to noisy output from soundcards.. my onboard cards works nicely in linux but hisses and crackles in windows.never been able to change it [20:36] balachmar, after upgrading to Flash 10, I haven't had it happen since. But if you already have Flash 10 it could be something else [20:36] Why doesn't this work anymore? [20:36] memeemeee: That woudl be very confusing... one minute you're typing away in a text editor, the next youf ind that what you are typing is going to a background task loking for a pw.... I don't think that would work very well :) [20:36] hi.. i installed from the 386 cd instead of the x86_64 cd.. and now uname shows 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 [20:36] how can i use the x86_64 kernel instead? [20:36] hello [20:36] hello [20:36] dime: reinstall [20:36] any other way? [20:36] dime: Basically, you can't. Easiest way ahead is to reinstall from the correct CD [20:37] dime: not that I know of [20:37] hrmm ok [20:37] if i basically make a copy of my .wine folder, will that pretty much keep everything? [20:37] Slart, yesterday I had Vista running, and i had the same problem, but the manufacturer website had the solution. It is written on a page that i have to look for 3rd party websites for the linux support :| [20:37] !"bot raid [20:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about bot raid [20:37] !bot raid [20:38] i suppose you're right jmarsden. point taken [20:38] !raid | aldur1 [20:38] aldur1: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:38] dime: define "everything"? if you have a separate /home partition you can easily keep that [20:38] i think i will go on the french server it would be less difficult for me :p [20:38] do any of you know the cisco vpn client pls? i wanna specify a profile but i cannot!!!!!!!!!!!! [20:38] bullet234: I would buy a cheap soundblaster card.. (not x-fi.. an audigy one).. or something else that's well supported [20:38] ehhh.. i guess it'll be alright [20:39] what's the command to reload the .bashrc without exiting and logging back in?

[21:25] spolvid, upon turning on the system you don't get the grub menu ? [21:26] matthew: the problem is that im not installing the recommended nvidia-driver, but for my new nvidia 9800gtx which there arent any "tested" drivers for ubuntu out yet [21:26] for those who cant write on hotmail you have to chage general.user.vendor on about:config and erase Ubuntu there... mother ·$%·$% microsoft [21:26] acke-> do a manual test of the script before putting it in cron [21:26] ok.. thanks for help guys. ill try it out.. your amazing, love this community :) [21:26] are you using 8.10 or 8.04 [21:26] axion: No. [21:26] matthew: 8.10 [21:26] have you tried envyng ?

[21:30] ok, downloading it now.. seems like its only out for 8.04 [21:30] sudo grub-install /dev/(your bootable hdd device) --root-directory=(wherever your hdd root partion is mounted) [21:30] that's for spolvid [21:30] anyone have a toshiba portage?

[21:36] `r0ot: last resort, delete the hidden (dot) files in your home folder. this will make you loose all your settings and start again with defaults. maybe backup them first (or rename) [21:36] how can i see the users on a channel? [21:36] what am i missing? === gauravity is now known as gaurav_ [21:37] vaadoo what are you talking about [21:37] <`r0ot> zsquareplusc: i ahe two users the main one have the errors in gnome-panel and number two run fine, so i post my errors message, but i don't know how to fix it ?

[21:38] WDC: just change the files' owneraand group to your user [21:38] `r0ot: yes, i saw your pasteed message, i dont knwo how to fix that. but as you say an other use is fine, it indicates that its a users settings problem. so removing the settings files should help [21:38] erUSUL: Not that easy. chmod won't work [21:38] erUSUL: and hey [21:39] WDC: chown [21:39] does anyone know how to make a script work on shut down? [21:39] erUSUL: orly [21:39] WDC: sudo chouwn -R $USER:$USER [21:39] <_Zeus_> erUSUL: in hindsight, you should have tared it, but too late now. You will need to set +x permissions on directories, for one [21:39] chilli0: since you've already googled for this and searched the forums you've already seen this thread.. but just in case.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=436346 === cateye is now known as CaTeYe [21:39] do i have enable nfs manually? [21:39] <`r0ot> zsquareplusc: all of them or .conf and ,gnome only ? [21:39] _Zeus_: talk to WDC [21:40] <_Zeus_> WDC: when i did that, all the folders were unreadable due to not having +x [21:40] chilli0: you can install scripts in /etc/init.d and the rc?.d folders (using update-rc.d) that are run on start or stop [21:40] `r0ot: i dont know. maybe all the .gnome folders [21:40] how do i sync my bluetooth headset with ubuntu ?? it shows up as a device but when i connect to it it says host shut down [21:40] hi, every time I install updates of some kind my keyboard breaks - I can t type apostrophes, they come up like diacritics (lines over the letters) [21:40] how do I permanently fix this? [21:40] matthew: in Permissions, says owner=root, so I can't change them - but all permissions are already set to read/write anyway [21:41] _Zeus_: I want david to own /home/david what's the command [21:41] I can't figure it out [21:41] LOL Slart [21:41] so if i want to make them run when i shut down how would i do that? may i see an example? [21:41] should compiz work with intel 945GM chipsets? [21:41] <_Zeus_> WDC: sudo chown -R david:david /home/david [21:41] chilli0-> put it in /etc/rc6.d [21:41] victamower: use the US keyboard layout, not US International [21:41] hi guys i have installed Windows on my first hard disk and ubuntu on my external Drive but i cannot boot from my external Drive seems Bios cannot do this how can i chane that? [21:41] Hi, just upgraded to 8.10 -- But my system has started randomly locking-up solid and blinking capslock & scrolllock [21:41] Is this known issue? Is it to do with disabled restricted packages?

I just didn't connect the dots with the $user. My bad [21:41] np [21:41] Neuling - you should probably get a motherboard that can support it. Or write your own BIOS update and flash it. [21:41] n8tuser: so if i put my python script in there it will run it on shutdown? [21:42] does anyone know anything about the load_cycle_count issue? i dont want to hdparm -255 my drive as the temperature get's too high [21:42] _Zeus_: chown: cannot access `/home/david/.gvfs': Permission denied [21:42] mnep: how do I reconfigure X so it doesn revert to international each time? [21:42] chilli0-> test it and see..read some of the scripts there, those that start with K [21:42] <_Zeus_> WDC: ignore that, you can never touch that [21:42] why k? [21:42] mindrape: oh ok but i think i am not able tp write a BIOS update [21:42] _Zeus_: But, nothing else works either [21:43] <`r0ot> ok now how i can delete user from command line ? [21:43] chilli0: we don't hold hands here. If you would like somebody to hold your hand get a significant other. If you want people to point you in the right direction you're in the right place and plenty of fingers have pointed for you already. [21:43] <_Zeus_> WDC: all the . folders do hat? [21:43] i have a feeling i'm in over my head lol [21:43] _Zeus_: Lock file '/home/david/.TrueCrypt-lock-david' has incorrect permissions. [21:43] mindrape: i have been told about 3 things and i dont get what they mean [21:43] <_Zeus_> WDC: is the folder encrypted? [21:43] hm, my interfaces file contains, auto lo, iface lo inet loopback. nothing more, where is eth0 defined ? [21:43] _Zeus_: No [21:43] can anyone point the direction to drivers for an intel x3100? [21:43] _Zeus_: It's from an old install though [21:44] my the default printer in OpenOffice is not the same as what is set in CUPS in 8.04, why? [21:44] [21:44] look in synaptic kyle [21:44] rblst-> change it, so it will be the same [21:44] rhalff: ubuntu uses networ manager by default but you can add the interfaces to the file if you want to [21:44] kyle: They're almost certainly installed by default [21:44] mneptok: how do I permanently set my keyboard type to US? It keeps reverting to US International [21:44] axion: Thar didn't work. [21:44] is it a whisper when it's red? [21:44] rhalff: System>Preferences>Network Settings in 8.10 [21:45] nixternal: what up, dookie? [21:45] victamower: System>Preferences>Keuboard? [21:45] n8tuser: change it where? if i change it in CUPS, it doesn't affect the setting in OO.o [21:45] erUSUL, the network manager is mostly graphical and not meant for a server I guess ? or can I also expect the server edition to define it's interfaces elsewhere [21:45] hmm spolvid [21:45] <`r0ot> zsquareplusc: it's the same :( [21:45] erUSUL: I ve tried that in the past, it doesn t stick when some kind of updates are applied [21:45] chilli0: well do you know what run levels are? If not go google that. You seem to be asking questions about things you dont understand. If you aren't sure how shutdown processes work research that first instead of jumping to "I want to run scripts when my computer shuts down". Instead ask "How does a shutdown process work?" [21:45] noaxi: What do you think? [21:45] how to mount new partition in ubuntu as home direcotry? [21:45] rhalff: no for a server the interfaces file is the way to go afaics [21:45] looks like fstab is unstandard [21:46] erSUL: the GNOME setting is fine, it s the setting in xorg.conf that gets overwritten === noaxi is now known as axion [21:46] kaduk: unstandard? because it uses uuids ? [21:46] hi! can someone tell me how to change the screen resolution in xubuntu? i got an acer aspire one and only 800x600, should be 1024x600 [21:46] victamower: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#X.Org%20Input%20Devices === axion is now known as noaxi [21:46] `r0ot: there are a lot more folders with settings. move the others too. [21:46] mindrape: i just want some1 to show me how to make my script on shut down [21:46] erUSUL, ok good :) [21:46] rblst-> in OpenOffice [21:47] I'm having this bizarre bug in X. i'm using a trackpad and sometimes it starts to act as if i'm constantly moving the pointer down- or upwards. right now it's basically a game of whack-a-mole if i want to click on things [21:47] <`r0ot> zsquareplusc: plese names :$ [21:47] Is the ext3 filesystem the best one to use with ubuntu?

[21:47] chilli0-> to learn scripting, please do a tutorial on bash scripting [21:47] spolvid: when runnign the grub command it gave you a list of kernels it found ? [21:47] mindrape: but a dual Boot is however possible or not? [21:47] !prefix | kyle [21:47] kyle: 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 :) [21:47] noaxi: grub-install? [21:47] I ll see if dpkg-reconfigure console-setup worked [21:48] n8tuser: i know scripting , not bash thoe why cant some1 just tell me how to do it? [21:48] matthew: no dice, I run nautilus and go into permissions on the file, but everytime I choose smr as owner it just stays a second then changes itself back to root [21:48] noaxi: I don't remember. [21:48] also, I get the same error if I try to open it as root [21:48] try it again [21:48] `r0ot: nope i dont start telling random names.. maybe mkdir ~/backup; mv -r .* ~/backup [21:48] !whisper flannel o interesting, as for what yous aid about the drivers. my friend is my go to guy about all this and he had to leave but he said they weren't already installed [21:48] Ok thanks. [21:48] is there a x86 comompat amd64 package to run old static x86 bins under X ? [21:48] noaxi: What's the syntax again? [21:48] chilli0-> alright, do this, visit /etc/rc6.d and pick one thats like K20dir* look at how that script is done [21:48] chilli0: and we are saying go research how runlevels work and the init scripts for each... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=436346 this link was pasted previously and has the EXACT answer you need. [21:48] erUSUL, I was about to add a bridge in the interfaces file, but if there is a qui option to do this I would like to use it, but I can't see such an option in the GUI [21:48] kyle: No !whisper, just "Flannel, blah blah blah" and you can usually tab complete the nick. [21:48] <`r0ot> ok i will try [21:49] Slart, yes [21:49] kyle: what version of Ubuntu are you using? [21:49] try grub-install -help or man grub-install and try to figure it out [21:49] Slack, some strange numbers that are not for human [21:49] is there a x86-compat amd64 package even [21:49] xjrn: ia32-libs ? [21:49] flannel: 8.1 [21:49] mindrape: but a dual Boot is however possible or not? [21:49] Slack, normaly fstab has its man page and is not saved in binary format so user can modifie it [21:49] how do i sync my bluetooth headset with ubuntu ?? it shows up as a device but when i connect to it it says host shut down [21:49] !uuid | kaduk [21:49] kaduk: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [21:50] Neuling - I dont believe so, no. [21:50] <_cb> How could I do the following? 1.- Give end users the ability to save program and settings (not data) to a bootable CD with a single click. 2.- Give end users the ability to restore program and settings (not data) from a bootable cd with a single click. Am assuming I can script taring appropriate folders. Not sure what to do about Grub or how to script the bootale cd.Any ideas? [21:50] kyle: 8.10, alright. Open up synaptic, and verify that you have xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed [21:50] !synaptic | kyle [21:50] kyle: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [21:51] _cb - let me do your college assignment for you... hold on while I generate a simple 3 line script that accomplishes all of that for you. [21:51] _cb: Settings are data, there isn't really a distinction made between them. [21:51] Hi guys , ive got a raid drive set up as a mirror with ubuntu installed on it which id like to format as a blank drive , how do i go about doing this as i cant make any head way with Partition editor [21:51] mindrape: but why? means even if Bios doesnt recognize my external Drive this should work however on my hard disk or? [21:51] I installed rar and unrar but still can't get extraction to work. What do I need to do to unpack rar archives? [21:51] gavagai: unrar [21:51] <_cb> Flanel I know data what I meant is not the /home folder. I would restore that from backup [21:51] Neuling - well you can try booting off the primary drive and then using the bootloader there to get to it... but I don't think it's going to be successful still based on my magic 8 ball. [21:51] gavagai - man unrar [21:51] gavagai: and dont use the free version, thats called unrar-free [21:52] Flannel, are you refering to syste>admin>software sources? [21:52] gavagai: or something along those lines, the free oversion doesnt work well at all [21:52] mindrape, i want to use the GUI [21:52] kyle: No, synaptic package manager. [21:52] gavagai: please provide error messages. i'm not good at telepathy [21:52] gavagai: does unrar evne come with a gui ? [21:52] kyle: that page steps you through its usage, including invocation [21:52] he is probably using xarchive or something and gave the link to unrar to it? [21:52] maybe? [21:52] hi, i want to delete all the files which are in my current folder and which are numbers : what is wrong with that ? "find . -iregex ^[0-9]+$ -maxdepth 0 | rm" [21:53] BULLE_: file-roller the archive manager of gnome will work with rar fiels iff you install rar/unrar [21:53] !rar [21:53] BULLE_, i googled this and it said if you install unrar it would make the default file extracter work with rar [21:53] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [21:53] I am setting up a laptop for sale - I had to do post install configuration to get wireless working. Is there a way to make it OEM (User sets up username/password on boot) now? [21:53] Flannel, ok let me check this out [21:53] <_cb> What I want to do is give non-technical users PC's with Ubuntu and provide them with a real easy way to recover program and settings. Would use a different mechanism for the home folder [21:53] mindrape:could be true :( i tried it before and it didnt work i thought that i would have done something wrong [21:53] noaxi: what would the kernels look like? [21:53] tallmtt: Did you install the OEM version? [21:54] <_cb> mindrape I wish I was in college ;) [21:54] Flannel: No, I did not [21:54] mindrape:Are a lot of Windows programs working under Wine so i will use Wine instead [21:54] any ideas? [21:54] Koordin: you cant pipe (|) to rm. you need to use -exec [21:54] how do I rotate the images for the stickers at http://ubuntu.ec/su/drupal5/ [21:54] i tried in gimp it rotated but cut what was the top and bottom off [21:54] Koordin: and i'd test with echo instead of rm.. [21:55] my gnome session comes up with a black screen and my gconf-editor is blank, how can i fix these things since i upgraded to 8.10? [21:55] zsquareplusc: ok thanks [21:55] tallmtt: You'll want to do that. I believe both CDs (alternate and desktop) give you the ability to set up an OEM system (but if the desktop one doesn't, I can verify that the alternate CD does). Then you log in with a temporary "oem" user to set it all up, and then once that's done, you run a script. At next boot, it prompts for username/password/etc. [21:55] anyone here good with firestarter/ [21:55] anyone knows a program with which i can rotate video clips? [21:55] Anyone willing to help me get my usb headset to work in pulse? It works fine with Sound recorder and nothing else. [21:55] i cant get any computer to get a DHCP addy [21:55] what do you want to know cable? [21:55] update-grub should tell you what kernels iti si installing [21:55] Flannel: rhe desktop also has a note about OEM installs when you boot :-) [21:56] Flannel: There's no way I can run a script, or just type in the commands (maybe from a livecd) at this point? [21:56] i set up firestarter on my eth0 and it said it is working and nothing gets and address [21:56] So if I have to use the CLI, that's fine, but how do I figure out the path to the windows share containing the rar archive? I'm looking at it in nautilus right now and in propreties it says the location is smb://computername. how do i get there in the terminal? [21:56] cables_malo: I think firestarter by default just drops all packages [21:56] gavagai: oh. those smb urls are probably not supported by unrar. copy the files first [21:56] gavagai: yopu do not have to use the cli to unrar a file [21:56] zsquareplusc: and my regexp is correct ? i know this is the php syntax [21:56] is there some known issue with sharing internet with ubuntu 7.10? [21:56] how does the 64 bit of ibex hold up? any significant reasons not to use 64 bit? [21:56] zsquareplusc, thanks [21:57] drops all packages? [21:57] gavagai: or manually mount using samba. but copying is easier to explain ;-) [21:57] !inetsharing [21:57] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [21:57] cables_malo: you might have to configure firstarter.. or uninstall it totally (and reset the firewall rules) [21:57] should compiz work with intel 945GM chipsets?

[21:57] giacomo_c1: the place for opinion is #ubuntu-offtopic not here [21:57] if i could only get gnome fixed, im sure i would love it too [21:57] giacomo_c1: sounds like software I'd pay good money for.. but alas.. it doesn't [21:57] grobda24: because that is the port it uses? [21:57] Koordin: i'n not fluent in find regexp syntax. however it looked not bad [21:57] My headset only works in sound recorder (through pulse audio, I believe) How do I get it to work on everything else?

[22:00] Slart: It definatley is not fixed [22:00] RobertTables: take a look at nmdb, or setup proper dns [22:00] oh, okay [22:01] mindrape: I have read nearly everything out there, and im not applying the ugly fix due to HD Temps [22:01] Slart, I thought it was possible to do through setting up samba?

[22:02] if you'd like to know the differences between versions of Ubuntu go to the main site... they have a Whats New section in the release documentation. [22:02] Slart: do you mean nmbd? [22:02] Hello [22:02] why firestarter consumes so much resources? [22:03] dirtbag: it depends on your system, my upgrade killed gnome [22:03] mariza92: Aplicacions>Internet>Pidgin pode conectarse o Msn tamen podes instalar o program amsn ou o emesene [22:03] Andreica: you dont run it all the time, just to configure [22:03] Well Actually Firestarter doesn't takes much resources on mine [22:03] Andreica-> how did you figure that out?

[22:04] zsquareplusc: ah.. I was thinking db as in database..well [22:04] lobosque: dpkg -L package [22:04] lobosque: in synaptics select a package and choose properties-> files [22:04] lobosque: linux does things a little differently. Programs are stored in lots of different places. Documentation in one place, binaries in another etc. erUSUL's command will get you started though. [22:05] lobosque: usually they are installed a little all over the place.. some files here , some files there.. but do what erusul told you.. it will tell you where all the file went === magcius is now known as LRonHubbard [22:05] Slart: echo?

How about you? [22:06] I checked main page , but kinda confused. Why do they have 2 versions, LTS and 8.10? Is 8.10 more of a beta? [22:06] giacomo_c1: rho? [22:06] mariza92: #ubuntu-pt [22:06] nvm [22:07] trying to verify the install of a package with sudo, not sure how to do this [22:07] mariza92: non; pra falar portugues debes ir a outra sala.

LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [22:07] hi there [22:07] is there a way to manage different "power profiles" in intrepid? like "save battery" or "full performance"? [22:07] tCzern: dpkg -l | less [22:07] tCzern: I think I've heard of an app that does that.. or you could just reinstall the package [22:07] somebody with realtek 8187 and aircrack? [22:08] i'm confused - both vi and vim seem to be symbolic links that eventually point to /usr/bin/vim.tiny, but they're not the same program - how does that work? [22:08] When trying to start Trucrypt, I get this: [22:08] Lock file '/home/david/.TrueCrypt-lock-david' has incorrect permissions. [22:08] off to pool leagues, thank you for the help [22:08] How can I hide my ipod icon on the gnome desktop? It's there whever my ipod is plugged in [22:08] carpeliam: a programm may look at argv[0] and see how it was launched and then change behaviour [22:08] Slart, Is what your talking about hostname, is it in the smb.conf? [22:09] tCzern: take a look at debsums, sounds promising [22:09] carpeliam: symbolink links can contain program options iirc [22:09] carpeliam: argv beeing the list of command line arguments. the 1st one is the command itself [22:09] should compiz work with intel 945GM chipsets? when I enable desktop effects it goes and searches for a driver and then says it can not enable [22:09] WDC: try with Sudo [22:09] erUSUL: that is new to me, tell me more :-) [22:09] WDC: sudo Truecrypt [22:09] Neuling: kk [22:09] WDC: sudo chown david ~/.TrueCrypt-lock-david [22:10] erUSUL: I knew what lts stood for , just not sure why 8.10 isnt part of it. [22:10] RobertTables: it's been a long time since I bothered with samba and nmbd.. perhaps take a look at the samba site.. nmbd is a service that translates network names to ip's.. pretty much like dns but for a lan afaik [22:10] zsquareplusc: well "if i recall correctly" is the key part may be wrong [22:10] Neuling: ActionParsnip: Doesn't work [22:10] WDC: does the file exist? [22:10] thanks!! [22:10] erUSUL: :-) [22:10] dirtbag: 8.10 is not lts so it is only supported 18 months iirc [22:10] n8tuser: i may be completely lame, but i don't see such an option in OO [22:10] ActionParsnip: Pretty sure. It installed from a .deb. Sudo truecrypt works [22:10] Does anyone have any experience running nvidia drivers on top of an 8800gt? How good is the linux support of this card? [22:11] mintsoup: I have an 8800gtx, it's not really the same but close.. it works nicely btw [22:11] Hello [22:11] hi p0a [22:11] I see "oem-config" is in the repositories - will it work to reset the install to oem? [22:11] erUSUL: Oh I see. Thanks for the clarification. [22:11] i'm assuming 8.10 isn't LTS because it's not rock-solid stable, but i'd assume that about any distro that's not LTS, i don't know anything about 8.10 specifically [22:11] WDC: can you give the output of ls -l ~/..TrueCrypt-lock-david [22:11] Slart: does video playback work properly when you have compiz enabled? [22:12] mintsoup: yup, even hd material plays nicely [22:12] carpeliam: 8.04 is the latest LTS release. [22:12] tallmtt: no, it just deletes the temporary user and makes sure that when it reboots, it gives a setup for the new 'real' user [22:12] I'm trying to install firefox 3. I download it from the official website, I run the binary located in ./firefox/firefox and I get the error message that I have GTK+ 2.8 and firefox 3 needs >= 2.10. Is there any way to upgrade GTK+ with apt-get?- [22:12] Slart: hooray.. now just to convince my vista-loving roommate to swap his 8800gt for my hd4850.. [22:12] ActionParsnip: ActionParsnip Apparently there is no file [22:12] hmm [22:12] n8tuser: i though cups config was system-wide and OO takes that, too [22:12] p0a: just use apt-get [22:12] carpeliam: dont take my word for it... http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes [22:12] erver irc.got2think.org [22:12] DIFH-iceroot: how? [22:13] p0a: sudo apt-get install firefox [22:13] mintsoup: large amounts of alcohol usually simplifies the negotiation process =) [22:13] p0a what version of ubuntu are you using? 3.0(beta) came with Hardy and 3.0 ships with Intrepid [22:13] Slart: thanks for the advice [22:13] jtimberman: intrepid? [22:13] mintsoup: but I thought ati was getting better? [22:13] Intrepid Ibex, 8.10 [22:13] p0a: or sudo apt-get install firefox3 dont know the name of the (meta)paket [22:13] WDC: try copying the one from /root to your home folder then change its permissions and ownership to david for full access [22:13] jtimberman: I'm using 6.06 [22:13] WDC: does the app need root privs to run? [22:14] Slart, ati still has tons of problems with various apps in combination, especially with compiz [22:14] ActionParsnip: I have no idea. I just installed it [22:14] does somebody use "GMail Notify" here? What is the unit of the "Check Intervall"? [22:14] RobertTables: here's a page from the samba site about name resolution.. http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch07.html [22:14] mintsoup [22:14] WDC: id read yup on what you have just installed [22:14] any ideas? [22:14] apt-cache search gtk+ returns a lot of results [22:14] does anybody knows how to change the size of the avatar in the login screen? [22:14] ActionParsnip: lol [22:14] ActionParsnip: So what do I need to do [22:15] mintsoup: hmm.. to bad.. well.. perhaps next year [22:15] ActionParsnip: Again, sorry [22:15] I just upgraded from hardy to interpid on my amd64 setup and my system has slowed down a *lot*..booting takes time, even after booting, normal operations take too much time. The mouse also feels slow and jerky..how should I fix this? google didn't provide any solutions [22:15] i need a command to grep for a line in a file, and if it's found, remove the line before and after.. [22:15] p0a - your best bet, knowing you are on 6.06, is to look for a repository where they made it work with your older libraries. Google is your best bet. [22:15] .. and the line found [22:15] Slart; yeah.. maybe, but I wish i had remembered my previous experience w/ ati when purchasing this computer.. somehow slipped my mind [22:15] p0a sorry i'm not much help, i just upgraded my 6.06 box to 8.10 the other day. [22:15] and its a server anyway so no firefox [22:15] ActionParsnip: Well, reagrdless [22:15] p0a - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=847484 [22:15] WDC: try: sudo cp /root/.TrueCrypt-lock-david ~/ && sudo chown david ~/.TrueCrypt-lock-david && sudo chmod 733 ~/.TrueCrypt-lock-david [22:16] ActionParsnip: I have no access to /home/david. I had a backup of the /home folder from my old Ubuntu install [22:16] WDC: it may need root to run like alien does. If its a GUI app use gksudo [22:16] p0a - your best bet is to just upgrade to the next LTS version. [22:16] WDC: then change ~/ to wherever your profile is stored [22:16] zamba: "grep" won't do that, you'll need "sed" for that. i don't really know how that would be done though, ask in #sed [22:16] does somebody use "GMail Notify" here? What is the unit of the "Check Intervall"? [22:16] WDC: make sure you can write to your own home directory [22:16] LjL: thanks :) [22:17] reconn: set it to 100 and experiment [22:17] ActionParsnip: how do I do that! [22:17] LjL or perl :) [22:18] WDC: "ls -ld ~" [22:18] WDC: well wherever your home stuffs are with all you folders starting with . [22:18] ActionParsnip: I understand now [22:18] ActionParsnip, WDC might run into the same issue I had (and still haven't fixed).. if his current user id is different from the old one he'll have permission issues.. [22:18] ActionParsnip: But, I can't do anyting in my home folder [22:18] scunizi: on both installs it was 'david'. No different [22:19] does somebody use "GMail Notify" here? What is the unit of the "Check Intervall"? [22:19] WDC, there is a number associated with the install.. if you are the only one using the computer it's typically 1000.. on my setup I had a user id of 1000 on one machine and 1001 on another with the same user name. [22:19] reconn: what's it set to by defautl/ [22:19] WDC: the user name is merely a human mnemonic. the OS uses a number (uid) to represent permissions. [22:19] default* [22:20] scunizi: So how do I fix it? I have NO permissions to my home folder [22:20] hey everyone... quick question -.. my optical USB mouse just randomly stopped working in ubuntu.. any idea what the problem could be, or how to fix it (without having to reboot) ? [22:20] MTecknology 20.000 [22:20] 20000* [22:20] rand0mabo: try another usb-port [22:20] does somebody use "GMail Notify" here? What is the unit of the "Check Intervall"? the standard is set to 20000. [22:20] rand0mabo: try cleaning it [22:20] WDC: ensure you are logged in under your UID, then run "sudo chown $USER ~$USER" [22:20] !repeat > reconn [22:20] reconn, please see my private message [22:21] PriceChild: (I asked the question re: oem-config) - How can I delete the only non-root user on the computer and have a setup for a new "real" user on next boot without re-installing OEM? [22:21] DIFH-iceroot, and zleap it's not the physical port as I never have this issue when running windows. (I have a dual-booted system) [22:21] haro [22:21] herro [22:21] WDC, I'll let jtimberman do it [22:21] reconn: milliseconds* === kane__ is now known as kane77 [22:21] rand0mabo: i had the same problem but with windows and not ubuntu, another port was working, sorry dont know the reason [22:21] reconn: I assume you read through the man page first? [22:21] tallmtt - you can boot into single user mode and it will let you become root. [22:22] It's still not working [22:22] WDC - what is the username? [22:22] you realize $USER is a variable and not a literal, right? [22:22] mindrape: david [22:22] i was thinking it could have picked some dirt up from somewhere, [22:22] even a small bit in the wrong place can cause issues sometimes [22:22] WDC - cd /home chown david.david /home/david [22:23] is there like a USB device manager for ubuntu? I have a laptop with 4 power USB powers, and I use a USB keyboard and mouse... wondering if i could someone managed those devices??? [22:23] make sure you sudo on that actually. :) [22:23] mindrape: Great! So if I delete the user, and user's home directory - that setup will automatically run? [22:23] not sure [22:23] WEll, it still doesn't work [22:23] mindrape: cd; chown -R david:david ~ <- better?? [22:23] tallmtt - no...

[22:23] also - after unplugging and plugging back in both the keyboard and/or mouse - neither of them work, as if there's no plug-n-play monitor??? [22:23] not sure if im making sense [22:24] koops: what error did you get [22:24] WDC: cd; sudo chown -R david:david ~ [22:24] mindrape: chown: changing ownership of `/home/david/.gvfs': Function not implemented [22:24] whta do you mean what is wrong with microsoft it's a company and ubuntu/firefox are competitors, there's many things exclusively to their OS/web browser [22:24] yeah [22:24] WDC: don't worry about that [22:24] MTecknology: same thing [22:24] sorry pidgin died [22:24] did someone say something to me [22:24] WDC: .gvfs is a special case - ignore it [22:25] MTecknology: Awesome thanks [22:25] Stuff works now [22:25] WDC: you got a goal?

[22:26] p0a, i "was" getting some error saying that i had to update my firefox to the last version... and if i continued it didnt let me write emails, so i had to change general.useragent.vendor to anything else but ubuntu, if not i couldnt write emails, the web page look ok and everything but when i went to new email, the boddy just didnt appear [22:26] xGERMx: hostname [22:26] can anybody try to enter on this address http://host-static-92-114-135-168.moldtelecom.md/.

TO do this, I want to authenticate with an ubuntu based desktop, then I am using a usb -> ethernet converter to run the internet into the linksys router. I just got the desktop to log on to the network, but am having no success in getting ubuntu to push the internet through to the router. Anyone willing to give me a hand? Thanks a ton! [22:30] i can't configure my wireless network that uses TKIP [22:30] Anza: intrepid [22:31] Actionparsnip how?

[22:33] University [22:33] ActionParsnip - I uninstalled linux, but I still get the Dual-Boot for windows and Linux, so linux is no longer on my computer but the grub terminal is still there. I did fixboot and fixmbr in the windows recovery console. and I cant reboot because I think i typed in something in the GRUB terminal that made my C drive inactive [22:34] Mac: tkip? hopefully with AES. [22:34] WPA (EAP) [22:34] lol_udied: fixmbr replaces the boot record - grub will no longer exist there [22:34] lol_udied: oh i see, if you do not want grub to show and dont have linux installed its not a ubuntu issue. I'd ask in ##windows as they can tell you how to rewrite the windows boot sector [22:34] <^Onix|DJ^> hello someone can help me?

You could partition your drive to have /home on a separate partition [22:40] anyone using irssi? how do I PM? [22:40] eddVRS, does /query username work? [22:40] eddVRS: man irssi [22:40] emilien: you can't now - but when you first partitioned the drive you could have put /home on a different partition and you wouldn't have to worry abou tit [22:40] !interpid | tux9778 [22:40] tux9778: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is the current release of Ubuntu.

[22:45] RobertTables: Yes, you need the name lookup used by the windows box to know about the name of your Ubunut box... [22:45] amdpox: yes it(/ query) does work, thanks [22:45] I have succeeded in installing TVAnts. I can get it to find channels. But I can't get mplayer or vlc to open the feeds. Anyone have success with this? [22:45] how i configure Xorg [22:45] emilien: you could symlink to a folder in / if you need more space [22:45] with the terminal [22:45] RobertTables: You can edit the hosts file in windows to do that, or get DNS working if you haev a local DNS server, or... lots of possibilities... all depends on your network. [22:45] irini: man xorg.conf [22:46] Hi, im sitting on a laptop with a Integrated in Radeon XPress 1100 chipset, after i tried installing the new ati drivers, i cant play any video.. the video opens, and i get sound, but the picture is just black [22:46] ActionParsnip: i could do that after install ? [22:46] but when i want 2 save it it don't [22:46] how do i backup partition tables, mbrs, & bootsectors (or ...) while they're good? [22:46] jmarsden: the real question is, how do we get the hostname in the first place (w/o using the command line) [22:46] emilien: yeah if you need more space [22:46] Define "get" ? You typed it in at Ubuntu install time, right? [22:46] jmarsden, I have samba up and running and added it to the workgroup etc, from windows when I look through my workgroup I can see a listing for the ubuntu host, but cant browse it... the only way I can access the shares is by referring to it by \\ip-address... [22:46] ActionParsnip: ok cross that bridge if or when i get there =) [22:47] actionparsnip [22:47] RobertTables: I can't do a full Samba browsing troubleshoot here, I'll go mad... [22:47] emilien: create a folder elsewhere and make appropriate permissions and ownerships, then symlink the folder so its easier to access [22:47] i installed a theme, after it i changed to a default theme and now i cannot install again that theme. It shows me: Cannot move directory over directory [22:47] how do i force a 32 bit repository into apt on amd64 ? [22:47] what to do? [22:47] Roberttables: http://jngalloway.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/easy-file-sharing-in-ubuntu-no-editing-text-files/ [22:47] jmarsden, can it not be set in the smb.conf? [22:48] that's the guide for 8.04 [22:48] RobertTables: Not-quite-working SMB browsing can be happening for many reasons... [22:48] should work 95% [22:49] Andreica you can try removing the theme directory from your .themes [22:49] hi [22:49] xGERMx: Would getting the hostname into a GUI (not text mode) editor work for you? I can do that in Emacs? :-) [22:49] Hi i need a hand reformatting a sata drive [22:49] it works, thank you [22:49] im writing the article for new ubuntu users [22:50] I had a Windows VPN set up in Hardy that worked fine, it's now disappeared in Intrepid and when i add my details again, it doesn't connect [22:50] jmarsden, i can read and write as i say by browsing by ipaddress.. I dont care about getting the SMB share into the worgroup in my network, i just want to get the name sorted so i can hit my ubuntu webserver/ping like: http://my-machine-name [22:50] ActionParsnip: for /home in partition menue i chose primary or logical ? [22:50] I want to do everything as simple as possible [22:50] thanks xGERMx, ill take a look [22:50] im using Gparted and need to know what file system i need to format the drive in to use it as a slave , i cant seem to work it out! [22:50] hi, does anyone have tips on how i should partition my drive for a new ubuntu install? i want a seperate home partition, but i'm not sure how much space to allocate to the OS [22:50] I've tried running /usr/lib/network-manager-pptp/nm-pptp-service explicitly and finding the error [22:50] also, do i need a seperate swap directory or not? [22:50] King_Bob: normally ext3 [22:50] the weird part is that in 8.04 finding the hostname was very east [22:50] easy* [22:51] swap partition [22:51] I just get: LCP terminated by peer (D^_>M-^B^@ if i change the default printer in CUPS, OpenOffice doesn't see it, how to make OO use CUPS settings? [22:51] xGERMx: What did you do in 8.04 to get it? [22:51] emilien: primary [22:51] l7: no, you can also use a swap file [22:51] ActionParsnip: ok thanks [22:51] http://jngalloway.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/easy-file-sharing-in-ubuntu-no-editing-text-files/ [22:51] xGERMx: [22:51] DIFH-iceroot: there's no perfomance hit to using a swap file?

[22:56] i'm wondering how i can use GPG to verify the checksum [22:56] though maybe doing md5 on the .iso is enough [22:56] hi, where is the networks interfaces stored? [22:56] o.O?

[22:58] n8tuser: there are two printers attached, a hp and a samsung; the hp printer used to be the default, but i changed it to the samsung; yet OO still shows hp as the default printer [22:59] OH, AND, I use my ssh connection to my linux box to tunnel and disregard my jobs internet filter [22:59] LOL [22:59] jmarsden: thank you [22:59] How can I change the color of other people's statuses in Pidgin? [22:59] I was just wasting time at work but now is time to go so See YAs! [22:59] jmarsden: can you help me with a wireless issue? [22:59] rblst-> then why not change it on that printer settings? what is stopping you? [22:59] NekroJakub: ask in #pidgin [22:59] Xpistos - you sure are... a shining example of somebody who follows company policies and standards and exhibits good ethical values. [22:59] jmarsden: i appreciate if you do that! [23:00] Mac: I doubt it... wired LANs are more secure and usually faster... :-) WHat specifically is the issue? [23:01] solara-> you dont install a kernel with dpkg -i you just have an entry in your menu.lst and reboot from it [23:01] n8tuser: i'm sure it's a trivial problem, but i don't know how to get OO to change it [23:01] I have installed TVAnts.

[23:02] n8tuser: I just followed the directions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile?action=recall&rev=61 , because the compilation generated debs, not just the kernel [23:02] n8tuser: could you explain in a bit more detail? [23:02] jmarsden, what germ said didnt work anyway! , ah well.. back to google! [23:03] hi. i am having problems installing grub on my mbr from Ubuntu live CD. I either get file not found from the grub prompt or 'The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly'. ANy ideas? [23:03] can anyone help me regarding Microsoft wireless laser keyboard 6000 v.2.0 ? [23:03] rblst-> open your office writer then from menu file->printer settings select the default printer [23:03] hey guys...am i allowed to ask queestions about ettercap? [23:03] I heard that I don't need a swap partition if I have 2GB RAM, is that true? [23:04] !swap [23:04] 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 [23:04] hello, i have a problem with gdm and logging users in, we use a ldap server which has usernames but no groups for our users, so when gdm tries to login it doesn't let it because there is no default group [23:04] jmarsden: i have a wireless network on my university that uses WPA-PSK TKIP. I can not connect to it! Do you know how i can solve this? I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 [23:04] 2gb should be fast [23:04] NekroJakub, if it is a laptop you need swap to hibernate [23:04] it works when logging in through the cli login utility but not through gdm [23:04] NekroJakub: unless you're going to use hibernating I don't think you really really need swap [23:04] hey guys...am i allowed to ask queestions about ettercap? [23:04] can anyone help me regarding Microsoft wireless laser keyboard 6000 v.2.0 volume up and down key not working :( [23:05] also, if i create a group for a user it allows him to login, but that is inefficient since for each user we will have to make a group [23:05] Mac_: That's likely to be specific to the card (wireless chipset) you are using and its driver. [23:05] n8tuser: i can of course do that, but if i restart OO, it shows the old printer as default again [23:05] OK seriously... Has anyone else had problems trying to make a USB Startup Drive while running the liveCD? [23:05] gavagi: If it's a PC I don't need swap to hibernate? [23:05] !ask | think_linux [23:05] think_linux: 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. :-) [23:05] is there a way to add a user to a default group before gdm login like a cli one? [23:05] Mac_: Google for the chipset name and ubuntu and see if you find anything useful? [23:05] think_linux: you may be told its offtopic, but i dont knoww about ettercap [23:05] goat_srv, coz maybe i thought it was off topic [23:05] ? [23:06] jmarsden: it work very well on several wireless networks [23:06] goat_srv, alright...i wont then [23:06] jmarsden: but with TKIP don't work [23:06] OK, so does the driver and related software you are using support TKIP? Is it *supposed* to be able to do that? [23:06] jmarsden: i already look on google and there is a lot of peole with the same problem [23:07] Mac_: Then most likely either there is a bug already filed in LaunchPad, or you should file one. [23:07] think_linux: i'd try looking for a channel that focuses on ettercap [23:07] jmarsden: i'm usinf the proprietary driver for my wireless card [23:07] *using [23:07] goat_srv, i went to ettercap ifficial channell....no one there lol [23:07] Mac_: Then the quick solution would probably be to buy a supported card intead... sad but true... [23:08] hi [23:08] I am trying to install mythbuntu....when it starts it goes to a screen that says busybox... initramfs buffer i/o error dev sr0.... and stops [23:08] jmarsden: ok...thanks [23:08] is there any way to *downgrade* network manager. My VPN used to work fine, but in the new version it's gone. [23:08] jmarsden: i will try look more on google [23:09] gig: That may be a bad hardware (bad RAM? Bad CD?) issue?

I either get file not found from the grub prompt or 'The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly'. ANy ideas? [23:10] jmarsden: yep i can install an older version of mythbuntu 7.10 [23:10] gig: Does the cd test for the newly burned one say the CD is OK?

How do i add the new partition to Grub. I transferred from sda4 to sda3 if that helps [23:11] joebodo: thanks but i have tried all that and still getting the errors [23:12] I am having troubles with a PPTP vpn on intrepid. It will connect, and I can SSH to remote servers via IP, but the SSH hangs frequently, and I get absolutely no DNS through the VPN. Any ideas where to start looking? [23:12] how do i backup partition tables, mbrs, & bootsectors (or ...) from linux, while they're good?

Under gutsy you could just add a section to /etc/X11/xorg.conf with a ServerLayout, but that no longer exists. How do I get two independent screens again? (My screens work, but there is much dead space - their sizes are different.) [23:14] lakitu, mmm i seee i don't blame you there. I have no experience with backing up partitions sorry. [23:14] OK seriously... Has anyone else had problems trying to make a USB Startup Drive while running the liveCD? [23:14] lakitu: You can backup a partition with dd. [23:15] I used dd to make a copy of my Ubuntu 8.10 partition to another partition on the same HD. How do i add the new partition to Grub. I transferred from sda4 to sda3 if that helps [23:15] lakitu: i would look at that second section for cloning, but dd is your best option for backing up [23:15] owh what vid card ?

However im not sure if i can without gettig ahold of an external cd rom drive. [23:16] Is there another way> [23:16] TLove: Does it have a network connection? [23:16] Im on it now [23:16] Hi. I'm using 8.04, how can I prevent firefox 3 from starting in offline mode always? [23:16] TLove, boot from USB? [23:16] TLove: Then you could setup a PXE boot, or boot from USB as Spets suggests. [23:17] umm, Im not sure, I'd think it might. If it does i think i can just boot from the usb right? [23:17] yeah [23:17] joebodo: That's an Intel 915 in case I wasn't clear. [23:17] if i change the default printer in CUPS, OpenOffice doesn't see it, how to make OO use CUPS settings? [23:17] lakitu, be sure to transfer that .img though otherwise it's completely useless keeping it on the same disk :P [23:17] what filesystem should i use for a disk shared with linux and windows. it's basicly just music and movies [23:17] lakitu, :P defeats the purpose [23:17] Just wondering, is there another way? cause i really dont want to go hunt for the jumpdrive i lost. [23:17] I am haveing problems trying to make a USB Startup Drive while running the liveCD. I run the LiveCd, I am able to make the drive sucessfully (I get no errors). but when I try to boot from the thumbdrive I get an error "no OS found" === MexTux is now known as Apprentice [23:18] Does networking automatically work in wine or does it need to be configured? [23:18] Havsalt: NTFS, it works most of the time... [23:18] Havsalt, if its a large drive you can just use ntfs. you can make linux read ntfs most of the time [23:18] jimmacdonald: Are you sure thats the USB you are booting from [23:18] TLove: As I said, a PXE boot, using TFTP, there are several instructions, basically you setup a PXE server and point your laptop at it. IIRC there is even a public PXE server out there. === Apprentice is now known as Ubuntu_rulez [23:18] rbd, most of the time yes, i've noticed === Kabaka[A] is now known as Kabaka [23:19] Hi. I'm using 8.04, how can I prevent firefox 3 from starting in offline mode always? [23:19] Havsalt: i go for ext these days. Windows ext2/3 drivers are ok [23:19] Deadmode and rblst, isnt there anything more stable? [23:19] Havsalt: FAT32 maybe? [23:19] zendo: You should be able to set it to online mode, then quit, then launch it again. [23:19] I used dd to make a copy of my Ubuntu 8.10 partition to another partition on the same HD. How do i add the new partition to Grub. I transferred from sda4 to sda3 if that helps [23:19] owh: no that doesnt work for "years" [23:20] Havsalt: samba or nfs? [23:20] owh: never* [23:20] kuro: The menu.1st file in /boot/{mumble} [23:20] jmarsden, if it's more stable i'll give it a go. what was the maximum filesize, or partiton size for FAT32? [23:20] Havsalt, well fat32 i suppose....honestly i've been using ntfs for a long time to transfer back and forth. If the computer that you transfer to is on the same network i would take serious consideration into samba [23:20] zendo: I do not understand what you are saying. [23:20] owh: What do i need to enter [23:20] rblst, sorry, im a newbie. i think i use nfs now === meoblast is now known as meoblast001 [23:21] Havsalt, samba server is very very nice. Would hate doing any kind of transfer with out it [23:21] owh: sorry. What you have told me never worked with ff3 [23:21] at least a transfer at my house :) [23:21] Deadmode, it's not network [23:21] kuro: Have a look at the file, the HD(0,0) stuff is pointing to your partition. I cannot give you specifics, it's different for each OS and installation. [23:21] Havsalt: I forget... it's smaller... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table or google for "FAT32 limits" [23:21] Deadmode: but samba has more overhead than nfs [23:21] owh: I set that and next time it still starts in offline mode [23:22] zendo: Well, I'm running FF3 and it doesn't do that for me, so perhaps your profile is corrupt. [23:22] more overhead == less bits per second [23:22] goat_srv, oh i haven't used nfs yet [23:23] owh: can you explain me what and where? I really wouldnt like to lose all bookmarks and extensions, by deleting ~/.mozilla [23:23] zendo, just rename it [23:23] scunizi: rename what and where please?

[23:24] zendo: before you rename it you can go into firefox bookmarks and export them to html, then import them in the new profile [23:24] scunizi: i tried that... but ok, i'll try it again [23:24] zendo, you can also export your bookmarks etc.. before hand and then import them later [23:24] thanks guys I'll try that [23:25] What's a good editor for HTML and PHP?

[23:27] hi [23:27] owh: if i restart, it won't change [23:27] rblst: It won't show the changes in CUPS until it launches again. [23:27] what is the dafult config for mplayer after 'apt-get install' ?

[23:28] Hi, i need opinion (All 64bit): I installed Ubuntu Server 8.10; then desktop over it; am wondering if i can install Ubuntu Studio overtop of this [23:28] thomc, 'cause it's busy and you're probably doing it from the gui.. from terminal it's faster [23:28] so, if i will stop firewall, won't happen anything bad? [23:28] scunizi: i did that, i quit from OO and the launched it again, still no change === justin__ is now known as zenlunatic [23:28] thomc: Is your drive encrypted? [23:28] rblst, so it prints from the previous default priner? [23:29] owh I'm using Intrepid; is /home encrypted by default? If so, then yes. [23:29] scunizi: exactly [23:29] can anyone check their dafult mplayer config please?! [23:29] thomc: No, not unless you asked it to encrypt it. [23:29] owh no then [23:29] kri, ask a question before you want us all to run around like headless chickens :-) [23:29] Who thinks I can install ubuntu studio over ubuntu server+desktop without problem? (This being all 64bit) [23:30] ciao [23:30] italianeeeeeeeeeee [23:30] owh: i asked allready. [23:30] rblst, it might be because OO is remembering which printer you used last.. do a file/print change the printer to the one you want and print a page. then save the file.. next time it opens that should be the default printer then. === lacqui_ is now known as lacqui [23:30] I'm having an SMTP issue when sending from my home Ubuntu server to a gmail account. I get a 550 denied error, telling me I'm not authorized to send from users@mydomain.com ... is there anyway to fix this other than a reverse DNS entry? My IP is dhcp from my cable provider so that is not possible. Am I screwed for SMTP out? [23:30] thomc: Perhaps you're running low on RAM and it's having to work hard at copying your files? [23:30] i have manually installed mplayer cause if i apt-get install it, it will remove lamemp3-dev etc. i need the deafult config that it use though... where do i find it? [23:30] owh I have 4GB and memory usage is 14% [23:31] kri, if you install something manually, you're on your own. [23:31] scunizi: thanks, i'll try it when i have the chance, but i'm afraid it's not that simple :( [23:31] owh: oh thats so nice and cind of you. cause its so hard to upload that config to random host site? [23:31] ammmm, i only can run java apps like frostwire with sudo... any ideas?? [23:31] ElecMoHwk: if your ip range is on the DUL some providers (e.g. hotmail) will block. Didn't know that gmail would block. [23:31] thomc: You can add the System Monitor applet to your panel and show the various gauges, that will give you and idea. [23:32] rblst, go to localhost:631 if you haven't already and make sure the printer you want is marked default there as well.. that's the direct cups interface [23:32] scunizi: yes, i've checked that [23:32] thomc: If you're looking to monitor various things on you computer, you might want to try gkrellm, it's in the repos [23:32] kri, your question relates to a custom install from an unspecified site. There is absolutely no relation to the application you're running and the one that is shipped with Ubuntu. I'm not being a smart-ass, the question is not answerable. [23:33] mcphail: appears it's just not allowing mail from users at any domain that is not under the ip. I can actually send an email from @charter.net and it goes through. CEO@charter.net works, ironicly. [23:33] how do i find the UUID of a partition [23:33] never mind.... dont know why i can do it [23:33] owh I've checked hardware usage, each core of my processor is only showing 5-10% usage, and, as I said, RAM and swap aren't being used heavily either [23:33] thomc: Is IOWAIT high?

[23:36] hi [23:37] Andreica: try man sleep [23:37] hi, im trying to get ubuntu on a tablet pc, a toshiba portege m200, it doesnt have a cd drive, ive tried USB, SD card, netboot, nothing will work [23:37] please give me an example [23:37] Andreica: its' going to be something like `sleep 100 $$ shutdown -h now [23:37] Andreica-> shutdown -h -t 3600 [23:37] i think i got the netboot settings wrong, does anyone know how to set up dhcpd.conf? [23:37] RobertTables: I was going to tell you to open the Network Manager, but that seems to have changed. Dunno what the official way of adding a host is. Modifying /etc/hosts will work, but I'm not sure if that's the right way. [23:37] hey all [23:38] thanks [23:38] I had a quick question.. [23:38] dave_: The man page is exhaustive on the subject. [23:38] oh man this is sweet tvants working on wine. :) if anyone else has this problem just keep manually adding channels. searching for channels doesn't seem to work. [23:38] I upgraded to 8.10, and now I cannot pull for dhcp through the command line [23:38] ElecMoHwk: just tried sending to gmail from a different domain. Working fine. May be because I have static ip. [23:38] I've taken a bunch of .png screenshots with a simple script. now I want to get those files as a video file - what would you recommend, how to do that? [23:38] how do i split a tar.gz into manageable pieces? [23:38] hi anyone play TA Spring Poject [23:38] I do dhclient on my wlan0 card, and it will try to pull from 255.255.255.255. anyone know why this does this now? [23:38] RobertTables, owh the easiest way to edit hosts from the gui is from System>Admin>network.. unlock then click the hosts tab [23:38] unr3a1: what do you mean "pull"? [23:38] owh the applet shows harddisk usage between 15-30%, if that's what you meant. I can't see a value labelled IOWAIT [23:38] owh, this is my /etc/hosts file: http://rafb.net/p/56PRdu56.html [23:38] Out_Cold: Funnily enough, the spit command :) [23:38] cool [23:38] wpi;d amypme recommend rpl as an easier choice ? [23:39] thanks owh [23:39] would anyone [23:39] thomc: It's a CPU state :) [23:39] oh.. wait.. split?? or spit? [23:39] gavagai: have you done a man on ifconfig? [23:39] it will query 255.255.255.255 for the IP address if I do a dhclient. before in 8.04, it queried the gateway of the router. [23:39] mcphail: sorry for the delay in replies, I tried forwarding through my isp's SMTP server, and I get rejected as @mydomain != @charter.net. While my IP is not static, it has been the same for 6+ months and is referenced in my dns directly without issue elsewhere. === tonswin is now known as tonsofpcs [23:39] is there a command that will tell you the (HD X,Y) numbers for each partition [23:39] dave_: The suggestion I gave you shows examples, has comments and describes in full detail how to do it, I don't know how to make it simpler. [23:40] scunizi, And what do I add exactly? [23:40] no, again ff3 starts in offline mode. Dunno if it's because of some extentsion or what [23:40] Spet: ? [23:40] kuro: man du [23:40] how do i check what drivers i have installed for graphics cards? [23:40] it's really bothering [23:40] zendo: Start it in "safe mode" and see if it does it. [23:40] did you see my response, zenlunatic? [23:40] owh, did you see the host file? [23:40] unr3a1: no [23:40] owh: how should i start in safe mode? [23:41] Randall1: maybe lspci [23:41] I'd like to know too Randalli [23:41] RobertTables, not sure.. just answered the question.. I haven't really been following the entire conversation.. but if I remember you're trying to reach the ubuntu box from a windows box.. still.. I don't know.. a learned babe in the woods here. [23:41] owh: I guess you are saying to me about ff3 not linux [23:41] zendo: firefox -safe-mode [23:41] zenlunatic: it will query 255.255.255.255 for an IP through dhclient. in 8.04 it queried the gateway of the router. [23:41] owh: ok [23:41] rblst, that actually looks very interesting to me [23:41] i know i can do this over my ip through my router and such, i have a set up with a shared folder where i put something in it and it shows up from any computer linked to only that shared folder. what i am asking is if there is a way i can do this over two dif ips. and two dif. os. one os x the other ubuntu. [23:41] owh: yes, still in offline mode [23:41] scunizi: I don't have that panel in Intrepid :( [23:42] ElecMoHwk: looking at the headers on the received email in gmail, it appears they do perform a lookup on the "from" domain and try to match it to the sending ip. Suspect there is no easy solution [23:42] owh ok I got it (!), and yes IOWAIT is pretty much maxed out === ging is now known as Ging [23:42] owh, what do I need to add to /etc/hosts to mkae it work? [23:42] owh, let me load intrepid in vm and check.. brb [23:42] is there a way to tell if you nic is truelly operating as full duplex? [23:42] RobertTables: Wait a mo for the answer from your other intrepid helper :) [23:42] mcphail: my fears realized. Looks like I need to colo and warm up my /24 again to get my domains mailing :( damnit. Thanks for taking a look and giving me a second set of eyes. [23:43] owh, Im on hardy :-) [23:43] ne1 know why i have flashing black boxes while playing TA Spring Project [23:43] Havsalt: i myself use VirtualBox, tell me if you need any help setting it up [23:43] Follow up question ... anyone know of any affordable co-location providers in the southern california area ? [23:43] RobertTables: Well, do you have the panel that scunizi suggested? [23:43] So when i open hardware drivers a driver is now available however there is a gray dot thing next to it saying "A different version of this driver is in use" and when i activate the 96 driver and restart it tells me that ubuntu must start in low-graphics mode? [23:43] :) just incase. rhetorical question I guess. Thanks again McPhail sir. [23:44] yes, but not sure what values.. [23:44] owh, yes, but not sure what values.. [23:44] rblst, yes. think im gonna do a format here first, clean up every disk [23:44] owh, static ip - hostname? === vonguard__ is now known as PuppyCock [23:44] heya, i'm having some trouble getting my laptop internal bluetooth working. Can anyone help me? [23:44] ElecMoHwk: why not use a valid "reply-to" in your emails and send from your isp domain? [23:45] owh, wow.. looks like vbox doesn't like 2 vm's running at the same time.. it went nuts when loading intrepid.. closed win and loading ibex now propertly [23:45] RobertTables: Yup. [23:45] Question: can anyone recommed a program for sharing a directory as an iTunes playlist off of an ubuntu box, so that windows boxes running iTunes can play from it? [23:45] I just finished compiling a program, how can I find it in Gnome? [23:45] scunizi: I've been using qemu - vbox needed way too many things installed :( [23:45] owh, I dont understand, how will this enable windows to see it? and do i need to restart any services? [23:45] Request: needs help w/ gunroar pkg [23:45] mcphail: because I do not want to email business contacts from username@charter.net ... I would like to send them from @mydomain.com [23:46] How can i copy a partition to another of a smaller size [23:46] RobertTables: Hold on, you are trying to get from Windows to Ubuntu, or from Ubuntu to Windows? I thought the latter... [23:46] kuro: cp -R * ? [23:47] nope, I can access my ubuntu box only by ip from windows, what I want to do is from windows be able to access it by hostname.. [23:47] RobertTables: Ahh. [23:47] tCzern: if you compile a program, it doesn't show up in gnome [23:47] so does anyone have any clue as to what may be causing the command line to be unable to connect to a wireless network? [23:47] scunizi: You can stop looking, we're solving the wrong thing :) [23:47] ElecMoHwk: with regards to your new question, maybe gnump3d? Not sure if it integrates well with itunes [23:47] RobertTables: Are there other servers on your network? [23:48] owh, RobertTables looks like network manager aka "Network" in the Admin part is no installed.. ok.. got it.. yep .. Win to ubuntu [23:48] hi [23:48] is there a way to reduce iowait? [23:48] owh, so say fto access my webserver I can point broswer to http://myhostname instead of http://ipaddressofubuntubox [23:48] ElecMoHwk: you can use a number of things for that. Rhythbox will do it, if you want something more server-y firefly is a good choice [23:48] thomc - yes... type in yes yes [23:48] owh, no other servers, small home setup [23:48] ElecMoHwk: will that carry over everything and keep all the permissions [23:48] I'm looking for Windows Server chatroom, anybody? [23:49] owh scunizi , you get me? [23:49] NotDell: I think you'll be hard pressed to find Windows support on an opensource developers IRC network. [23:49] kuro: no, it will put everything in permissions for the user copying the files. Not sure how to preserve own/grp/perm, sorry. [23:49] mindrape ? [23:49] when i'm listening music, pidgin don't sounds anything. how to correct it? [23:49] Requesting help for Gunroar Package [23:49] qhartman: define server-y ... ubuntu box is cmd line only, no desktop so, it qualifies as a server, yes. [23:49] So when i open hardware drivers a driver is now available however there is a gray dot thing next to it saying "A different version of this driver is in use" and when i activate the 96 driver and restart it tells me that ubuntu must start in low-graphics mode? anyone know how to fix this? [23:49] Any idea how to use dd to copy but set it to copy to a smaller partition [23:50] I used dd to copy and because it was bigger the file system became corrupt [23:50] RobertTables, well two things.. if you also want access from outside the lan then look into dydns or a similar service.. be aware that your ISP probably blocks port 80 so you'll have to change that in apache2. As for doing it from inside the lan.. you got me.. no idea. [23:50] unable to install midi buntu repos, gives me this error E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [23:50] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [23:51] help! i just got home and moved my mouse to turn off my screensaver ... all i see is my wallpaper no panels or icons on the desktop (GNOME) [23:51] loveonfull: is another process using it? [23:51] mindrape: ##windows-server ;) [23:51] loveonfull: You probably have synaptic, add/remove programmes, update manager running [23:51] RobertTables, maybe changing the hosts table in windows to reflect your internal ip of the server and the port number with an alias of "whatever" you want [23:51] hi, i have installed kde but i am still shown gnome icons when browsing folders. should i remove the gnome icons, or will that mess up my gnome session? thanks [23:51] kuro: dd cannot shrink partitions. You _can_ pipe the output through gzip, though [23:52] scunizi, two machines arebeside me :-) just want to refer to the ubuntu box by hostname instead of ip! :-) [23:52] RobertTables: Well windows has a hosts file too :) [23:52] <_Zeus_> does anyone know the options needed for mknod to recreate /dev/null? [23:52] loveonfull: are you using in this time any sinaptic? usually it happens when you are trying to use 2 synaptic in the same time [23:52] can someone help me please, since i've upgraded to 8.10 I can't access my USB drives (G1 phone and 8 gig USB thumbdriver) [23:52] I logged out and came back but still the same [23:52] Ubuntu recognizes them but nautilus wont open them [23:52] Having trouble with Gunroar package, Help please? [23:52] when i'm listening music, pidgin don't sounds anything. how to correct it? [23:53] Hiya, having some issues with ffmpeg, trying to transcode an avi to flv, but I get an error that its an unsupported input format [23:53] RobertTables, that's why I originally suggested ##windows because I think it's something you need to change in the windows setup to recognize the name and where it links to.. does that make sense to you owh or am I off base here? [23:53] So when i open hardware drivers a driver is now available however there is a gray dot thing next to it saying "A different version of this driver is in use" and when i activate the 96 driver and restart it tells me that ubuntu must start in low-graphics mode? [23:53] !repeat > Andreica [23:53] Andreica, please see my private message [23:53] RobertTables: scunizi, the real problem is that Windows isn't being populated properly by Samba, IIRC, there is a samba.conf setting to act as the browse master. You can then point windows at the IP of the machine to do WINS lookups and you can also tell windows to use the DNS to resolve windows names. [23:54] how do I get the latest development version/sources for the linux kernel on ubuntu? [23:54] Requesting help with Gunroar package? [23:55] owh, Where do you start with that! [23:55] t:-) [23:55] Does anyone have an idea about why I can't change my DNS settings in intrepid with network-manager? [23:55] RobertTables: I'd open up the Windows network properties and point the WINS server setting at the IP of your server and see what happens. [23:55] I'm getting the most ominous message when I try to. [23:56] And it seems as though others are having similar problems. [23:56] when music is playing, pidgin don't sing anything. how to make it announce me when i receive a message and i'm listening to music? [23:56] how do i get the uuid of a partition again? [23:56] I've lost my desktop (GNOME) Ubuntu 8.10 ... only see my wallpaper no panels or icons [23:57] owh, I wasn't aware he's just trying to share a folder or files.. he had mentioned server so I thought "wiki" , test web page etc.. [23:57] scunizi: Heh :) [23:57] owh, Yayyyy! it works! [23:57] has anyone here configured a Linux cash register (point of sale) setup? [23:57] bynw, if it doesnt fix itsself you can kill pretty much everything you have open and restart your X with ctrl-alt-backspace [23:57] RobertTables: Excellent. [23:58] Hi, I'm having troubles getting my ATI radeon x850xt to work after I enable the fglrx driver via the hardware drivers. I have to go into rescue mode and run xfix then resume boot to get it back to normal. Can somebody help me get 3d enabled on my Intrepid(8.10) install? I desperately need to program for my opengl class and cannot until this is fixed. Thanks in advance! [23:58] how can I change from my desktop to the /usr directory? [23:58] Anyone have any idea if there are better replacements for network-manager? it is a total mess of a program. [23:58] can someone help me please, since i've upgraded to 8.10 I can't access my USB drives (G1 phone and 8 gig USB thumbdrive) [23:58] porter1 - I use the command line... [23:59] tCzern: cd /usr [23:59] noone here ever helps me [23:59] http://wiki.openbravo.com/wiki/index.php/OpenbravoPOS_Installation [23:59] Hello Poeple [23:59] you guys are a bunch of snobs [23:59] scient, the keyboard doesnt seem to function but its connected ... only the mouse works (i see the pointer and can move it). anything i do on the keyboard doesnt do anything [23:59] So when i open hardware drivers a driver is now available however there is a gray dot thing next to it saying "A different version of this driver is in use" and when i activate the 96 driver and restart it tells me that ubuntu must start in low-graphics mode? [23:59] thats for lwizardl i have never used it or heard of it [23:59] porter1: I agree, nasty program. I use the command line as well. [23:59] is there any reason an init.d script has to be an sh script? [23:59] hhm, tried that ... brb .. [23:59] rahduke: lol... uhmmmm.... do they show up in dmesg? [23:59] i dont know what that is [23:59] rahduke - when you lspci do you see them? [23:59] anybody know if XFCE compositor is in addition to X Server compositor? Or should we run both? [23:59] rahduke: pull up a commandline and type dmesg [23:59] owh, 1 more question though.. you see the smb.conf.. there are settings in there for WINS, see here: http://rafb.net/p/5OABrO21.html [23:59] bynw, if you know whats causing it use ctrl-alt-f1 to get a terminal, but other wise use ctrl-alt-backspace
