Plus it's for 8.04 LTS [01:26] Kalela: meaning, burn puppylinux isos to cd just like you did ubuntu, then try to boot. if trying other linuxed live from cd also fail, that'd seem to indicate an issue with your t41.

[04:19] darkbishop, anything -- but I prefer using Gnome MPlayer [04:19] ZXCZXC, ok, what's going on right now is grub has a bit of software at the very beginning of the hard drive, the Master Boot Record. What you want to do is have that software in the master boot record boot xp directly. I don't use windows enough to guide you in doing that, but that's the goal. the people in #windows can tell you exactly. [04:19] <^Einstein> darkbishop, maybe the cat function to concatenate files either before or after unzipping, I'm not sure [04:19] ok guys, im trying to get my home folder off of the main partition, and place it on another for backup... how can i get the folder copied when im in liveCD?????

[04:26] what is pidgin/irc [04:26] I was dual partitioning my system and by mistake i overwrote GRUB with a new GRUB, now Ubuntu isn't a boot option. How do i fix this? [04:26] lovemij, we suck, everyone worth knowing ends up here ;) [04:26] lovemij, the default im client in ubuntu [04:26] you don't enable 720p its just a screen resolution of 1280x720, how are you connecting to your tv or device [04:26] dotblank: it wont allow me to set at 1280x720 [04:26] ^Einstein--> are you sure? can you mount your iso and boot, lets see how far you get [04:26] dotblank: dvi [04:26] ^^ agree [04:26] :D [04:27] ditch64 did you install everything for your bluetooth [04:27] have you tried with a vga cable?

Nvidia's driver overode my resolution with the one autodetected with the dvi cable [04:28] nickrud , i hope you're wrong ... i find it very strang that they don't have a 64 bit plugin though [04:28] Shadow420, yeah, life called. I've been dropping in briefly now and again though [04:29] no i disagree [04:29] ^Einstein--> which inaccuracy? [04:29] Agentblood -->> You need to go into the BIOS and set the CD to be the first device to boot, put the hard drive second. [04:29] Do you have Windows installed already? If so, boot from the CD, enter the recovery console (press R when it asks you whether you want to install windows etc.) When you're at the console, type: [04:29] fixmbr [04:29] and that will remove GRUB from your system. [04:29] If you don't have Windows installed, GRUB will be overwritten as part of the installation.

[04:29] what should i do [04:29] xcerca it's mainly sun.com hasn't made a 64 bit version [04:29] It might be that the DVI is not reporting the resolution correctly or that the device does not support 720p [04:30] xcerca - i installed icedtea for firefox64.

[04:31] endo602--> can you sudo ddcprobe -? and see if its on the list === goldmetal is now known as slivermetal [04:32] Shadow420: that has nothing on the issue that i have [04:32] KyTiX, I don't use windows enough to recognize that (last used 98 regularly [preens]) is this also correct for vista?

[04:32] does anyone here know how to edit my grub.conf file from ubuntu live? [04:32] i guess not [04:33] makes sense [04:33] blizzardman1219--> mount the partition it resides on, and then edit the file [04:33] and if the install goes bad just dump and re-install [04:33] blizzardman1219, mount your hard drive read-write [04:33] lovmij: more secure [04:33] endo602--> you may have to install xresponse [04:33] lovmij - it free [04:33] thats odd I thought I used that command before but I don't have it either [04:33] blizzardman1219, yes [04:33] hey, wanting to install ubuntu on an old g3. but i have no mac hdd and it doesnt want to boot from the drive. not to familiar with macs and id like to know if theres a bios flash or some other trick to get this drive bootable?

[04:45] gigel2007: could be of to many reasons byt to tell i would like to need the details of your network and computer and ISP [04:46] gigel2007 only if you have some kind of bandwidth limit, i get more than that over wireless somtimes [04:46] Hi -- I still can't get my DVD playback to work. I have XPS M1530 -- It seems that there are some issues with it? <_< [04:46] gigel2007: try with another computer connected as you are and see if there is any differance and get back to me with the results.... [04:47] OK so i got into my GRUB configuration file, but how would i edit it so that my ubuntu partition is an option? i accidentally erased it as an option when i installed a new OS [04:47] how do i nstall jboss on 7.1 [04:47] i did bid from src [04:47] matthias__: I don't have ubuntu on other computers, so I can't test the speed of the repositories/updates [04:47] but i donno whether i did correctly [04:47] nickrud: how can I choose what server ? [04:48] blizzardman1219 root (hd0,2) ( or whatever the partiton is) [04:48] nickrud: Select best server ? [04:48] gigel2007: well try to download another program not related to ubuntu un your ubuntu and than on an windows pc with same wireless card and see if any diffferance ... [04:48] gigel2007, choose another is uselesss if you are in a odd network [04:48] :) [04:48] gigel2007, system->admin->software sources, see the dropdown tab . That may work, it depends on ping but the server itself may be limited. You have to try a few [04:49] xcerca: how do i know what the partition is? [04:49] hey guys [04:49] gigel2007, if the repo is the only slow thing, it's bound to be the server end. Try some of the bandwidth testers first. google bandwidth test ;) === sriram is now known as vosges [04:49] can anyone help me with my aspire one netbook? i am having wifi problems [04:49] nickrud, , uselesss [04:49] nickrud: ok I'm doing that right now [04:49] also [04:50] Hi! Could someone help me with a first-time ubuntu install problem I am having? I've searched a number of forums, and I cannot find an answer. It's a weird problem where it seems to boot into some sort of readwrite mode that doesn't save anything when i restart again. [04:50] cfffq, for absolute measure, true. relative, useful [04:50] vosges: checked cd for defects ? [04:50] ECes [04:51] DasEi: Yea... I'm using wubi [04:51] DasEi: I d/led the desktop iso from the site [04:51] can some one help me with an acer aspire one? [04:51] iNtERrUpT: hi [04:51] (ubuntu site) [04:51] vosges: I'm no fan of wubi [04:51] How can I get flash player for mozilla for ubunutu? apt-get install flash ? [04:51] Question: Anyone know why a linux tutorial would choose "easy_install" over apt-get to install turbogears? [04:51] cfffq, I'm a great fan of ruling out easy stuff (like a slow server feeding the repo) before digging into esoteric network configs [04:51] vosges: haven't you got enough spae for a dualboot ? [04:52] *space [04:52] gigel2007: Depends which flash player you want, "apt-cache search flash" [04:52] vosges: I don't think wubi has a unwritable mode. Are you sure you're not booting to the liveCD? [04:52] Leefmc: Adobe Flash player for stuff like you tube [04:52] gigel2007: non free is the one i usually use, but by no means is that the best [04:52] howdy folks, i just installed intrepid ibex into a xen vm, i have two questions: (a) how can i install with grub instead of lilo? (b) with the existing lilo, how can i catch it to boot single user mode? [04:52] gigel2007: Well theres an opensource alternative, etc. Try the non-free version [04:53] justizin: GRUB is default. It shouldn't have used lilo (unless thats a xen thing) [04:53] justizin: But, if you go into the expert mode on the alternate CD, you can manually install the bootloader at install time (either lilo or grub) [04:53] Flannel: i thought that might be the case, though I certainly have some ubuntu vms at providers who manage the install for me, which use grub.. [04:53] alternate CD, eh? [04:54] gigel2007 try ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:54] i saw that, just seemed inconvenient at the time because i didn't have a torrent client handy.. === Guest64101 is now known as Brucee [04:54] XenServer barely has wget for the root console ;d [04:54] justizin: Yeah, and then hit f6 or whatever and boot to expert mode, or hit escape at one of the during-install prompts, and you'll go back to a big list (ordered) of install steps [04:54] thanks, Flannel, I'll give that a shot.. [04:55] Hello, wondering if anyone can help me. While my pc was booted to the Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD, I accidently did something in GParted to my ntfs harddrive so that it showed up as "unknown" and wouldn't boot. Now I am using TestDisk. Can you advise on how to recover the ntfs hard drive (which had Win XP) ? [04:55] you could try going back and resetting the partition type [04:55] vosges: space ? (anyway, isn't wubi a single *.exe file ?) [04:56] Flannel: as for (b), any idea how to get into single user mode with the LILO I have? it starts booting about as soon as I get keyboard control at all [04:57] !info single user [04:57] user is not a valid distribution ['intrepid', 'medibuntu', 'kubuntu-members-kde4', 'hardy-backports', 'intrepid-backports', 'gutsy', 'gutsy-backports', 'hardy', 'feisty-backports', 'dapper', 'feisty'] [04:57] justizin: Nope, I haven't used lilo in... forever. [04:57] darkbishop: consider i'm talking about a system which doesn't behave like all the other ubuntu and debian systems i've used over the past ten years, a faq may not be what i'm looking for. ;) [04:57] justizin, how exactly would i reset the partition, and in which program [04:57] Flannel: I'll live.. [04:58] PupUser1e3567: go back to gparted or use fdisk in a rescue console or somesuch.. [04:58] justizin, lilo doesn't allow interrupting the boot process like grub does, you'd have to use a live cd to write a proper stanza [04:58] nickrud: it did in the 90s.. [04:58] before there was GRUB, when we only had LILO, the "LILO" had a prompt. think it must have delay 0 set.. [04:59] justizin: it was for me..... i dont really know much about ubuntu... but trought everyone converstion i try to learn them all... [04:59] it doesn't have a fancy ui like grub, but you can usually type something like 'linux single' [04:59] darkbishop: right on, well thanks for trying to be helpful. :) [04:59] huf thuru [04:59] does anyone here have experience with an aspire one? [04:59] oh. Oops. [05:00] justizin, a suprise to me. I used to keep a minimal install partition around just to support editing lilo prior to live cd's [05:00] ralf: not yet, but i'm eager to hear about successes.. [05:00] Hey guys, I've been using 8.10 since it came out (fresh install) and have pretty much configured it the way I like. Now I need to read my ext3 /home directory in Vista but apparantly 8.10 uses inodes of 256 bytes which seems to stop ext2ifs in it's tracks. Is there any way I can access my /home directory in Vista? === vorian is now known as heHATEme [05:00] hm, it actually has a 20s delay, but i am not seeing that.. quite odd.. [05:00] I've got a Radeon with integrated bt848 tuner. So far, I've modprobed the bttv module, but I don't know what else to do so xawtv works... I don't (yet) have a /dev/video device. [05:01] justizin: i followed the instruction on the ubuntu help site and wifi did not work [05:01] link? [05:01] i tried both ndiswrapper and mad wifi [05:01] justizin: ok, i have just tried both programs and all they allow me to do is reformat, whereby I would lose all data. There is no option for restore or reset. Please advise [05:01] ok, I still need help. I need to install a madwifi something to use my Atheros wireless driver [05:01] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne [05:01] any ideas? [05:01] ralf:does ur wifi driver detected?? [05:01] you didn't use fdisk, it doesn't reformat, and it DOES do what i said.. [05:02] you're not getting out of this in the next five min, going to have to learn to read buttons before pushing them, and going to learn a lot about partitioning tools in gnu/linux. :/ [05:02] darkbishop: it tried using an atheros driver that didnt work at all. the methods on the ubuntu site only allow me to scan but i cannot connect [05:02] you shouldn't have been putzing around in a partition editor of an OS you don't know from a live cd on your important drive. [05:03] I need to connect to a VNC server. I have tsclient installed, but the VNC protocol is greyed out. What package am I missing? [05:03] but, many of us have done it. this is when you get to learn about the "partition type" flag. find the fdisk manual page in google.. [05:03] linux fdisk, of course, dos fdisk is totally different.. [05:03] I know there is a way to use Atheros wireless drivers with Ubuntu....some people showed me how to do it before.... [05:04] Anyone have any ideas? [05:04] ralf: did you consider inspecting the working linux system that comes installed on the aspire one? :) [05:04] <[T]ank1> i am trying to make a usb start disk. using the option in system>administration>create a usb start disk [05:04] <[T]ank1> it seems to build it ok [05:05] <[T]ank1> but cannot boot to it. [05:05] ralf:does the scanning produce any result? [05:05] i bought the one with xp installed but i hear linpus has wifi working so i might dual boot with tha [05:05] <[T]ank1> have verified that bios is set correctly [05:05] <[T]ank1> even tried marking it bootable with fdisk [05:05] darkbishop: it shows my network but it wont connect [05:05] <[T]ank1> could anyone point me in the direction to get this working? [05:05] justizin: running fdisk right now, all that it shows me are options to: toggle bootable flags?, edit bsd disklabels?, delete a partition, add new partition, and some other irrelevant options, which exactly am I supposed to choose to restore a previous partition? [05:06] you aren't restoring, you are editing the partition type.. [05:06] [T]ank1: have you tried plugging the stick into different USB ports ? [05:06] read the documentation, don't launch destructive software and marvel at its' lack of intuitiveness. [05:07] "t" to change type [05:07] sorry, bud, i would charge a customer a buttload to help with this. if you want my help, you'd be best to show some initiative and remind me of myself when i was in your shoes. :) [05:07] [T]ank1: if your bios is set correctly and the USB Boot Stick was created correctly then it should be working [05:07] there ya go, been forever, but reading manpages is good. [05:07] you will probably also have to hit 'l' or something to list the available types. i think there is an NTFS type.. [05:07] <[T]ank1> EJ: I will try that. [05:07] So, any help on opening 8.10 ext3 in Vista? [05:08] Can the keyring be used to manually store username/passwords? [05:08] NRaf: there is a read-only ext3 reader for windows, i think, no guarantees it works on vista. if you want round-trip shared data, you'll have to let linux talk windows, becuase it's the only one smart enough to talk the other's language. ;) [05:09] !crawl [05:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about crawl [05:09] [T]ank1: sometimes the ports on the backside of the system are on different ..... circuts than the font USB Ports (sry cant think of a different word other than circuts atm) [05:09] <[T]ank1> i only have 2 on the side of my laptop. [05:09] !ext3 | NRaf [05:09] NRaf: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [05:09] When will we get Python 3.0 (or even 2.6)? [05:09] [T]ank1: oh i didnt realize you were using a laptop, i was invisioning a desktop [05:10] <[T]ank1> so do you think that would still be the issue? [05:10] [T]ank1: no, but when you set up your bios did you make USB the 1st on the boot list ? [05:10] MindVirus: 3.0 is a question for #python ;) [05:11] justizin, I was pretty sure that it's out. [05:11] Nevermind. [05:11] <[T]ank1> yes... I have also tried an option to boot to a temporary device and pointed it to my usb drive, which it lists by name "sandisk cruizer 2.0 gb" [05:11] When will 2.6 be released> [05:11] *released? [05:11] <[T]ank1> or something close to that [05:11] 2.6 is released, but almost every distro stays behind. most dependent software won't be updated for some time. [05:11] What features are *not* supported? [05:11] * Inodes that are larger than 128 bytes are not supported. [05:11] I see. [05:11] [T]ank1: how did you make the boot stick ? by the guide on the web site ? [05:12] 2.5 is quite fine, and i still use 2.4 for a lot of things. [05:12] fs-driver doesn't work with ext3 partitions with a 256 byte inode. [05:12] <[T]ank1> EJ: just used the tool in the menu [05:12] I don't really get it myself, but that changed in 8.10 and is what causes it to break. [05:12] <[T]ank1> EJ: brb [05:12] <[T]ank1> EJ: what guide on what website btw? [05:12] Hello anyone tried ubuntu 8.04 on Hp pavilion Dv2000 laptop? [05:12] [T]ank1: hang on a sec, theres a guide on the web site, i'll try to find it for you. [05:13] [T]ank1: check this page out : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [05:14] MindVirus, not until 2.6 appears in debian unstable [05:14] Hi all. From CLI, how do I determine what package provides a given file? I know there's a command for it, but I can never remember what it is. :-( [05:14] NRaf: There is also: http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs and: http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ [05:14] Crell, dpkg -S /path/to/file for installed packages, you'd need to install apt-file to search for files in uninstalled packages [05:15] nickrud: Ah, thanks. So the same command will work if I have apt-file installed? [05:15] Crell, in that case, apt-file search [05:15] Is Wine in the repositories? How can I find out ? [05:15] nickrud: Thanks. [05:15] Crell, apt-file has some other useful commands as well [05:15] nickrud: hey man, thanks for earlier, it was the Canadian server running 30 KB/s :| [05:16] gigel2007, yw. [05:16] gigel2007, and I'm glad thats all it was ;) [05:16] * Crell waits while apt-file rebuilds itself. [05:17] nickrud: Do you happen to know if WIne is in the repositories? I am afrait that if I do apt-get install wine that I will get a different application. [05:17] define repositories????? [05:17]  gigel2007:wine is in the repos [05:17] gigel2007, yes it is. [05:17] !wine [05:17] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [05:17] nickrud: DasEi: so apt-get install wine ? [05:17]  gigel2007:yup [05:17] gigel2007, yep. Or check that link, you can usually get a useful deb of the very latest version [05:18] gigel2007: It is in the repositories. However you may want to add the winehq repositories for a more current version [05:18]  gigel2007:sudo ... [05:18] DasEi: thanks, by the way for future refference, how can I check if something is in the repositories ? [05:18] gigel2007, it's one of the few things I ever mention getting from outside the ubuntu repos [05:18] Hi, smpatch gives me Exception in thread "Thread-13" java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero at com.sun.patchpro.plugins.sunos.pkg............. [05:18] justizin: fyi, been messing around in testdisk and seemed to restore the boot sector partition [05:18]  gigel2007:apt-cache search blabla* [05:19]  gigel2007:apt-cache search wine* for example [05:19] DasEi: woot thank you ! [05:19] gigel2007: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb has details of how to add the main repository of the source as well [05:19] DasEi: yup I got it :) [05:19] gigel2007, you should try using the synaptic package manager until you get a handle on how the repositories work. Fewer commands to learn, cuz it gui, and it has some pretty useful quirks [05:19]  gigel2007:nice [05:19] Hm. "Can't get http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/Contents-i386.gz" [05:20] nickrud: yes, but I want to learn commands :) [05:20] Crell: Try again leter perhaps [05:20] nickrud: Should I be worried about that? :-) [05:20] *later [05:20] nickrud: GUI is too easy [05:20] Crell, see genii [05:20] genii: thanks! [05:20] Swell. [05:20] gigel2007, ah, but it will get you up to speed, so you can move on to the real package manager, aptitude ;) [05:20] so, I just upgraded to 8.10 and now my sound (intel HD, internal speaker), is maxed out full blast (or muted), and my headphone jack no longer works. Muting master or pcm mutes, nothing else in volume controls has any affect. What can I do to get my old audio behavior back? [05:20] sorry wrong channel ;) [05:21]  fryguy: install alsamixer [05:21] nickrud: oh ok, I'll look into it, ty! [05:21] does anyone know of a mp3 player for shell with controls? [05:21] !wine [05:21] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [05:21] DasEi: alsamixer is installed, as i mentioned, playing with the volume controls for master, pcm, and the other mixers has no effect (except muting and unmuting the internal speaker) [05:22] Tyrath - mplayer works for me. [05:22] err... wcontrols... nevermind. [05:22] !class [05:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about class [05:22] lol [05:22] !women [05:22] The women and men of the Ubuntu women project hang out in #ubuntu-women.

[05:23] DasEi: yes, shows up correctly. Like i said, sound comes out, just out of the internal speaker, and only full volume (or none at all) [05:23] mindrape: it appears I already have it, it works with arrow keys - that's awesome! [05:23] mindrape: are there ways to stop and pause and such? [05:23] Tyrath yes but I dont recall [05:23] DasEi: shows up just the same as it did in previous versions of ubuntu [05:23] man mplayer [05:24] mindrape: well space is pause :) [05:24]  fryguy: paste /var/log/syslog file [05:24] !paste [05:24] 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) [05:24] DasEi: there's nothing in syslog related to audio problems [05:24] DasEi: there's nothing in any logs related to audio problems [05:24] ok, now I was wondering if there was a pdf reader that worked in shell [05:24] fbgs doesn't work for me [05:24] - it stuffs up [05:26] would anyone know how I could uninstall a program I've installed into /usr/local ? [05:26] . [05:26] Tyrath: just delete the files === mike is now known as BigMike [05:26] fryguy: is there not a better way? [05:26] What are some fun stuff that I can do with ubuntu now that I got the basics around it =) I wanna advance my knowledge =P [05:26] Tyrath: usually not [05:26] fryguy: there's stuff installed in multiple directories [05:26] what'd you use to install it? [05:26] Tyrath, what/how did you install it? [05:27] y0ul053: make install [05:27] Hikefu: make install [05:27] Tyrath: it's one of the reasons distributions use package managers, to handle the installation and uninstallation of programs and related files for you [05:27] do you have the folder -- sudo make uninstall [05:27] Tyrath, if you're lucky, there's a make uninstall [05:27] yeah [05:27]  fryguy: no furthwer ideas, hm install alsa-firmwareloaders, reboot or check /etc/modules for the right driver <> figure right one out load with modprobe [05:27] nickrud: how would I use that? [05:27] Tyrath, just like you used sudo make install [05:27] DasEi: the correct driver is loaded, it's the same driver as was used in 8.04 [05:27] ok [05:28] ??? where is the file to edit to make my microphone work? [05:28] hai apa kbar === Invictus is now known as philosomatik [05:28] Tyrath, it's a recommended practice, creating the uninstall, but not all sources have it. Otherwise, manual deletion is your only other option [05:28] nickrud: say I deleated the build files. could I simply untar the tarball again, configure then run make uninstall? [05:28]  fryguy: apps > progs > system >prferences > sound >> alsa ? [05:29] DasEi: i'm not running gnome anymore, what is the command to bring up that dialog [05:29] Tyrath, should work, I think I've done it in the past (I haven't done much compilation in the last few years, and I'm old and suffer brainbit rot) [05:29] it doesn't help you _now_, but for another time, you might want to look into the program 'checkinstall'? [05:29] goodmornin from ita [05:29] * cowsong finally finds a post on the forum pointing him to xtightvncviewer [05:29]  fryguy: apps > progs > system >prferences > sound >> alsa ? is for kde, too [05:29] Hello all! [05:29] DasEi: i'm not running kde [05:29] nickrud: thanks [05:29] is there any sort of application that can automatically turn off your computer? [05:29] i'm out. thanks folks for the help [05:29] DasEi: as I asked, what is the command to bring up that dialog [05:30] phece, shutdown [05:30] ok ty [05:30] anyone know if launchpad works in elinks? [05:30] so, for instance, if you put a movie on and go to bed, it'll shut down after two hours rather than staying on all night [05:30] tripitakit: ohhh, thank you. i hadn't read the man on that. thanks [05:30] my server space going to finished. tell me about paths that i can check it for unwanted files. e.g. /var/log or /tmp or ... [05:30] sudo shutdown -h 24:00 for example [05:31] phece shouldn't 'mplayer moviename; shutdown now' work? [05:31] * nickrud wonders if 24:00 is an actual time [05:31]  fryguy: there is one, I'd had to boot another machine to loook it up, which surface are you running? [05:31] phece, has a plenty of options too [05:31] Has anyone managed to assemble a Docbook-xsl toolchain on Ubuntu? I've installed all the packages I think are relevant, but I still get an error that the SAXXIncluder class is missing. It should be part of the resolver package, should it not? [05:31] hi ya ya [05:31] DasEi: surface? [05:31] 24:00 is not an actual time. 24h time goes from 00:00 to 23:59 (minutes only of course) [05:31]  fryguy: gnome, kde [05:32] DasEi: i'm not running either of those [05:32]  fryguy:...but ? [05:32] DasEi: I don't run a desktop environment [05:32]  fryguy:headless, so ?alsamixergui ?? [05:32] wonderin if somethin like sudo totem mymovie && shutdown -h now will work too [05:33] DasEi: I'm not running headless. [05:33] tripitakit, totem doesn't shut down after stopping playback iirc [05:33] tripitakit, so no. that would not work [05:33] yes u'r right [05:33] DasEi: I found the name of the command you are referring to. I've changed things in here before, with no effect [05:33] tripitakit, do the sudo shutdown first, then run whatever you want [05:34]  fryguy:sth like dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base (don't refer to this, a hint) [05:34] tripitakit, use +180m for 3 hours from now, or give it a time [05:34] DasEi: what? [05:34] nickrud, ty :) [05:34]  fryguy:no further ideas for now, then [05:35] ??? I installed the KDE desktop into Ubuntu how come the cube will not work in KDE??? [05:35] ok, i'll move onto my next problem then, also related to 8.10 upgrade [05:35] one moment [05:35] BigMike: change from the KDE window manager (kwin) to compiz [05:35] fryguy, sound troubleshooting sucks, doesn't it [05:35] ok to I have to uninstall the other [05:35] nickrud: troubleshooting all of the hardware issues that cropped up when I upgraded sucks [05:35] BigMike, no [05:35] I just upgraded to 8.10 and my second monitor won't turn on anymore. ATI Radeon 2400 XT graphics card, restored my existing xorg.conf that I backed up, with no effect. I'm also stuck at 800x600 resolution. What can I do? [05:35] BigMike, no need to uninstall kwin [05:35] or where do you change to it I installed it [05:35] fryguy, that's the reason I !clone and reinstall [05:36] hey - just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my macbook - noticed wifi wasn't working so i did System > Administratoin > Hardware Drivers and enabled the Braodcom STA driver... yet still i see no wifi card... help?! [05:36] oh ok I see will try that [05:37] ]u better! [05:37] nickrud: I'm getting ready to just roll back to my backup at this point. I've got about a dozen problems since the upgrade, and nobody seems to be able to solve any of them [05:38] BigMike, if you still have problems with compiz and kde, try asking in #kubuntu . Some knowledgeable people hang out there, kde specialists [05:38] fryguy, I'd try !cloning and reinstalling. of course, pull in anything from /etc and /var and /usr/local you need, or pull from your backup [05:38] BigMike: I recommend more #compiz-fusion === philosomatik_ is now known as Apex [05:39] * nickrud smacks genii for giving better advice [05:39] i'm about to just pull from backup. I've been trying to diagnose this machine for about 12 hours now. Pretty depressed so have experienced such a loss in functionality during the upgrade :( [05:40] nickrud: Basically #kubuntu is dead right now, he'll get less frustrated there :) [05:43] hey guys. i'm thinknig of installing ubuntu on an EEEPC that has 2GB of space. is that enough [05:44] If I do vncviewer -fullscreen ubuntu:1 how do I exit fullscreen? [05:44] you can certainly install ubuntu in that much space, you'll have to keep it slim and may want to consider a flash card for storing pretty much anything that isn't the operating system. :) [05:44] sigmab3ta [05:44] eeepc what uis that? [05:44] cfffq: a computer manufacturered by asus [05:44] justizin: but you're sure it'll install correctly in 2GB right? [05:45] sigmab3ta, it'll be a very tight fit for the standard install. Don't expect to add much [05:45] aho_, the litle one [05:45] maybe to exit full screen, works with a lot of programs [05:45] i dont expect to add anything, just want to make sure i dont brick my friend's laptop [05:45] err [05:45] my friend's eeepc [05:45] <[mbm]> I think it might actually run out of space with the standard install [05:45] Tried all my function keys ryan_ and no luck =P [05:46] sorry, I'm still a newbie :( [05:46] i mean the ubuntu website says 4GB minimum [05:46] !eeepc [05:46] but my conky reports 2GB in use [05:46] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [05:46] so nickrud, do you think I'm having enough hardware problems with 8.10 to justify rolling back to a previous release? [05:47] fryguy: how do i roll back to da old version. [05:47] darkbishop: you restore your backup [05:47] hmmm [05:47] what do you think guys === jay is now known as Guest6836 [05:47] fryguy, that, or if you have a complex enough install the upgrade didn't go well. I've learned to turn off any 3d party repos, disable all my goodies, and then do a fresh install anyway. If I had time to troubleshoot stuff and file bugs I'd do it differently, but I don't [05:47] sigmab3ta, i'd better suggest a much smaller distro ... [05:48] I'm having problems with dual monitors one day it works great and then it doesn't but I think it is my fanless geforce 7300 video card that I will be replacing soon [05:48] xubuntu says it'll fitin 1.5gb [05:48] nickrud: i had a pretty much stock install, with no 3rd party repos, and no "goodies". The machine sits in xmonad with a terminal and firefox 99% of the time [05:49] sigmab3ta, i think ubuntu il lighter in hw request but not so much in hd space required [05:49] fryguy, 6 months makes it hard to test all upgrade paths. I can't and won't complain, cuz I'm part of the problem, not testing things and filing bugs [05:49] *xubuntu surry [05:49] nickrud: just running into 3 big hardware problems, 1 interaction problem with virtualbox, flash stopped playing rtmp and rtmpe streams, and there's some other things [05:49] is there anyway to assign real player to stream video files from the internet instead of movie player? [05:50] can windows mobo raid leave free space for a dual boot with linux to use? [05:50] nickrud: seems like we should make forward progress, not break things that used to work :/ [05:50] my server can't find package libx264-dev, and all my source repositories are uncommented. anyone know what the repository location is for this package [05:50] I had to reinstall virtual box after some update from the automatic updater [05:50] sigmab3ta, maybe this is not the better place to say, have a look to DSL or puppy, just to evaluate the possibility [05:51] tripitakit: not sure i understand what your last comment meant === maek is now known as Guest25178 [05:51] sigmab3ta, i mean xubuntu will fit in 2GB but u'll still have little space left === Apex is now known as sunfire [05:52] Is it possible to access my VNCServer from a Windows computer, e.g. school? [05:52] Finalphase yea [05:52] Finalphase: yes, that is the point of vnc [05:52] Finalphase, yep [05:52] Finalphase setup java applet with vnc on a webserver [05:52] _) [05:53] jja89: Wanna go into a private chat and give me a little quick tut, or a link on howto do that? === shantanu is now known as Shag [05:53] i've this and i'm trying to figure out why my tar.gz file which is 15mb gets truncated to 2.8mb, any idea what i'm doing wrong? gpg --encrypt-files --batch --no-tty -r user@domain.com file [05:53] Finalephase:sure === Shag is now known as Shagg [05:53] jja89: just download a vnc client and connect. it's that simple [05:53] Hello anyone tried ubuntu 8.04 on Hp pavilion Dv2000 laptop? === Shagg is now known as Shaggedelic [05:54] Finalphase, u just need a win vnc client for that [05:54] is it unusual for a badly configured vhost file to completely stop apache2.2 from booting with no error message? [05:54] paulfitzpatrick: no it's not unusual [05:55] how to check Graphic drivers installed correctly and working properly??? [05:55] ugh...is audio/video playback broken ? [05:55] I had an included log file which didn't exist and it took me an hour to figure out that's why it wouldn't restart. Any tips on checking vhosts for issues? [05:55] jjjjjjjjj === Guest79353 is now known as rts [05:55] How do I determine what port my VNC Server is going to run on? [05:55] so many questions, so little bullets..... [05:55] Finalphase: http://www.realvnc.com/support/javavncviewer.html [05:55] Finalphase: it's port 5900 [05:56] Finalphase, unless u have changed form default :) [05:56] Finalphase: 5900 + terminal number like :0 :1 etc so 5900 5901 etc. Also 5800 same thing [05:56] how can i modify the default entry in the network connections manager? there is an entry under wired that can not be modified or deleted. [05:56] hey [05:57] mindframe-, add a new entry [05:57] I did vncvi vncserver -httpport #### -basehttpport #### -name >>>> would that change the default port? [05:57] is it possible to split the screen up in console? I mean, without X? [05:57] can screen do it? [05:57] Can anyone hear me? (first time IRC) [05:57] subdolus: Check out gnu screen [05:57] subdolus: screen can do it [05:57] ahh ok cool [05:57] jimmy01, welcome [05:58] jimmy01, no, we cannot hear you :P === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [05:58] jimmy01, try shouting louder [05:58] lol [05:58] subdolus: also dvtm (not sure if it's in repositories) [05:58] is there a way to view files changed/moved within the system? i believe someone played a prank on me and moved some of my files. [05:59] roshan, bad stusffff [05:59] roshan, :( [05:59] roshan: for the future, look at something like mtree for tracking file changes on your system [05:59] not sure if mtree is available in ubuntu or not [05:59] hello minasan... how do i check if my wireless nic support injection?? [05:59] tripitakit, its not letting me add new wired connections [05:59] I can't see the contents of Documents and Settings on the C drive. How can I view the Windows Desktop for example ? [05:59] tripitakit, doesnt give an error or anything, just doesnt create the entry [05:59] its working on monitor mode/// [05:59] is there anything i can save so if i wanted to reinstall ubuntu i wouldn't have to do a cat5 connection just to get wireless working again? [05:59] darkbishop: aireplay-ng --test [06:00] mindframe-, are u in intrepid ? [06:00] yes [06:00] mindframe-, and the ADD button doesnt work? [06:01] Netowrk manager, when I left click on it, says wireless disabled. When I right click on it, the wireless box is unchecked, and it is faded, so I can't click on it. [06:01] How can I enable wirelss? [06:01] tripitakit, yeah once i fill in the info and click ok it just doesnt do anything [06:01] I have intel wireless on a thinkpad X61, just formatted with Ibex last week. [06:01] unstable: is it enabled from your router ? [06:01] rofl nevermind i forgot that i renamed the folder to something less obvious [06:01] tripitakit, nevermind i unchecked the system setting option and it added [06:02] gigel2007: yes, if I reboot the machine into windows, everything works fine. [06:02] mindframe-, fine [06:02] tripitakit, i still cannot modify the default entry [06:02] unstable: do you have a computer icon near the clock on the tray like in windows ? [06:02] mindframe-, i think u cant, the auto one i mean [06:02] gigel2007: yes [06:03] well the bad thing is its a static ip address [06:03] :) why didn't someon tell me gpg has compression.... here i thought something was wrong! well, now i know. [06:03] gigel if its wireless there will be 4 bars and not the computer icon [06:03] unstable: if you click on it do you see connections? [06:03] tripitakit, i have to manually run dhclient every time i want to get an address on a dhcp network [06:03] mindframe-, u can use ifconfg to configure eth [06:03] gigel2007: what result should i expact from this.its show me something... [06:03] darkbishop: what ? [06:04] hi unstable is it atheros wireless on your computer? === headbanger is now known as headbang3r [06:04] gigel2007:"airplay-ng --test wlan0 [06:04] is there anything i can save so if i wanted to reinstall ubuntu i wouldn't have to do a cat5 connection just to get wireless working again? [06:04] how can i change the dependencies of gcc-avr so that i can apt-get build-dep it? [06:04] gigel2007: in windows? [06:05] darkbishop: oh ok yes, if it says Sysfs injection support was not found then injection doesn't work [06:05] change dependencies... lol [06:05] o_O [06:05] you can save the binaries for your wireless driver [06:05] unstable: in ubuntu [06:05] unstable: just click on the icon, connections should appear if you have any [06:05] gigel2007 oh i found 1 ap.. so this mean it support injection rite? [06:05] darkbishop: no [06:05] gigel2007: yea, it says wireless disabled when I click on it. [06:05] mindframe- i saw many problems with net-manager in interpid for wired connections (static ip mainly) [06:05] darkbishop: what did it say ? [06:06] Wireless Networks, next line says wireless disabled. [06:06] ill google [06:06] gigel2007: lemme paste it in pastebin [06:06] !pastebin [06:06] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:06] hey unstable can you tell us more about the wireless card on your machine? [06:06] hi all [06:06] whats the channel for ubuntu jaunty jackalope? [06:06] unstable: one second I will tell you [06:06] #ubuntu+1 [06:07] it seems your wireless driver is not configured [06:07] kindofabuzz: what type of wifi card do you have? [06:07] Send all to an ass! [06:07] histo, broadcom [06:07] mindrape: doesnt exist for the first month after a release [06:07] sparr i gues it's really early for jaunty now :) [06:07] hello, why does my joystick act as a mouse ? [06:07] oh i see === Guest25178 is now known as maek === arooni_____ is now known as arooni === maek is now known as maek0 [06:08] gigel2007: http://paste.ubuntu.com/70811/ that what it say. [06:09] darkbishop: sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 [06:09] darkbishop: then do the test again [06:09] unstable: I can't figure it out, try asking here again how do you enable your wireless [06:10] unstable: what laptop are you using? [06:10] how should I go about encrypting an already existing partition and make it only mount when my user is logged on? [06:10] ugh...is audio/video playback broken ? [06:11] gigel2007: http://paste.ubuntu.com/70813/ that what it say. [06:11] osmosis, why u asking? [06:11] Shaggedelic: Thinkpad X61 [06:11] osmosis, mine is fine anyway [06:11] Intel wireless [06:12] Shaggedelic: it was working, I right click and disabled wireless or something I think, and I'm not able to right click and re-enable it now. [06:12] tripitakit: I have 3 computers I upgraded to intrepid ... since yesterday, any kind of audio or video playback doesn't worky anymore. [06:12] woot! Ubuntu 8.10 in HD on a 52inch screen [06:12] darkbishop: one sec [06:12] darkbishop: what card and driver you have ? [06:12] osmosis, have installed codecs and flashplugin? [06:13] unstable : what do you see when you right click on the computer icon on the top right [06:13] hello all :D [06:13] Anyone get virtual box to support a usb device? [06:13] tripitakit: of course man. i already had all that, upgraded from hardy. the video starts to play, and then stops after buffering for a couple seconds. [06:13] hasn't tried ryan [06:13] osmosis, ouch [06:14] ryan_: I get an error msg after upgrading that now says my virtualbox can't run with kvm kernel modules installed [06:14] gigel2007: broadcom 9431..... B43 driver... and got fwcutter as firmware.... [06:14] osmosis, does vlc act the same? [06:14] Shaggedelic: Enable Networking is checked, enable wireless is not checked. And it's faded so if I click on it, notihng happens. [06:14] Connection Information, Edit Connections, About [06:14] you upgrade to 8.10 ryan [06:14] anyone know how i can re-order which OS is default in GRUB? [06:14] tripitakit: i have no audio or video playback of any kind [06:14] chris__: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:14] thanks [06:15] chris__: You'll see one of the first non-commented lines is "default 0", so 0 is the first listing on grub. 1 is the second listing, and so on. [06:15] brb [06:15] yeah, but I still haven't configured 8.10 on this system. Was busy putting 8.10 on a computer for my dad and configuring it for him [06:15] kk [06:15] osmosis, i cant figure out the reason, sorry :\ [06:16] did you update your kernel by ay chance? [06:16] after Trying broadcast probe requests... it should say "Injection is working!" so my guess is that your card doesn't support it. Unfortunately I don't know your model. Try googling a driver or google and see if you can get injection to work. [06:16] unstable: did you update your kernel by ay chance? [06:16] anyone know anything about the gedit snippets? [06:16] suggest you reinstall vbox [06:16] kindofabuzz, no but it looks interesting :P [06:16] hey what is the name of the server edition channel? [06:17] tripitakit, doesn't seem like tab triggering works [06:17] Shaggedelic: I did whatever automatic update update-manager told me about. I believe there was a kernel upgrade yes. But I didn't do anything on my own, I'm using stock/default Ubuntu, with stock sources, and I just clicked ok when update-manager prompted me about new updates. [06:17] unstable: so i just cut the entry at the bottom and paste it to the top, and that's it? [06:17] is there a gedit channel? =) [06:17] chris__: you want to change the order it shows as? or change what boots first? [06:18] chris__: You could just leave the order, and change default 0, to default 3. or whatever. [06:18] unstable: okies and you had to compile madwifi for wireless driver support earlier eh? [06:18] sorrry...back [06:18] chris__: but yes, moving around those paragraphs/blocks will work. [06:18] Is this the place to ask question about the server edition of Ubuntu? [06:18] jimmy01: This channel works yes, #ubuntu-server is another one, yes. [06:18] Shaggedelic: no, it's intel wireless. I didn't compile anything. It's a completely stock Ibex install, literally nothing has been tweaked/modified. I only did an update with upgrade-manager when prompted. [06:19] well i don't see any numbers like that [06:19] gigel2007: okey thxxxx [06:19] kindofabuzz, i just looked at the plugin... [06:19] tripitakit, oh it works, you actually have to type the trigger out then hit tab =) [06:19] kindofabuzz, yep that is [06:19] the only one with a number is windows xp... it says chainloader =1 [06:19] tripitakit, great plugin [06:19] chainloader+1 rather [06:20] you mean your wireless worked on its own on the stock install without any tweaking? [06:20] kindofabuzz, thanks for the suggestion i'll check it deeper [06:21] ok i'ma try this [06:21] ok, time to go workin now :) have a good time ppl [06:21] cya [06:22] k, time for sleep now. I think I'll downgrade the kernel tomorrow. Or see if Ubuntu releases yet another Ibex kernel that doesn't break wireless. [06:22] unstable: ok and no updates just before the thing went bust [06:22] right [06:22] you don't have to downgrade the kernel [06:22] bbl [06:22] It must have been the kernel, now that I think abou tit. [06:22] the old kernel will still be there [06:22] Shaggedelic: Then what to do? [06:22] gigel2007: i think i didnt patch the kernal [06:22] just boot into the lowest ubuntu option on grub during startup [06:23] i think it should work [06:23] no, Ubuntu does some new thing, where the old kernel doesn't get listed anymore. [06:23] you see the different kernel options on bootup right? [06:23] And it's removed after reboot or something [06:24] Shaggedelic: There is only one kernel, and there are three options. The one kernel with standard arguments, the same kernel with single user mode, and memtest. [06:24] no unstable the old kernel would never be removed unless you specifically told it to [06:24] I get this error when I try to install some software from source: libtool: link: cannot find the library `../libltdl/libltdlc.la' Can anyone please help me? [06:24] Shaggedelic: Well I'm doing dpkg -al|grep linux-image, and there is only one kernel listed. [06:24] linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic [06:24] * rww is away: away [06:24] unstable: then you probably have one kernel [06:24] :) [06:25] That is the only kernel on my system. [06:25] unstable: can you tell me the kernel version? [06:25] That is from the ubuntu update, that isn't stock on ibex. [06:25] 2.6.27-7-generic [06:25] hi, i've made a mirror raid array under ubuntu and put data onto it (supposedly).. are there any paranoid ways to check it is in fact being mirrored? [06:25] seravitae, alternate taking drives out? [06:26] won't that just make the system complain? [06:26] this is software raid under ubuntu [06:26] thats an upgrade arite [06:26] seravitae, wouldn't you rather know if it WORKS? [06:26] that is the point. [06:26] i have a fujitsu lifebook T5010 .... trying to get the wacom driver working cuz its a tablet pc... [06:26] epoxy_ - uh, yes [06:26] Shaggedelic: yea, hardy wasn't like this. But ibex does something strange, i dunno what. Ibex is cleaning up after a kernel upgrade/reboot. [06:26] Or it's doing something, I have no idea what. [06:26] whee, it's impossibel to install quanta without ripping out kde4 components in intrepid [06:27] Does anyone know why i cant hear multiple sounds on ubuntu? [06:27] epoxy_ - i was thinking more like copy a big file to the raid device and watch the hard drive load on both hdds simultaneously and see if they match? [06:27] whatever, like I said, I'll install the old kernel tomorrow, and remove the new one. [06:27] unstable: check grub.conf and try booting to the old kernel [06:27] unstable: there's that thing dell created where kernel modules are automatically built for restricted drivers.... [06:27] i installed the Libwacom module... do modprobe wacom - and all i get with dmesg | grep wacom is the usb driver working - but no screen appears to be there - help?! [06:27] I would like to know if their is an online installer, similar to wubi for ubuntu: I have ubuntu 8.10, is their a way i can install fedora core 9 without burning cds? i cant do that and i dont have floppies [06:27] Shaggedelic: grub.conf? you mean /boot/grub/menu.lst? [06:27] I am not sure about this but the old kernel is prolly just removed from the boot loader [06:27] seravitae, can you see the HDD activity lights? they should blink in tandem. [06:27] Shaggedelic: If the package isn't listed in dpkg -al, it doesn't exist. [06:27] epoxy_ - i dont have a led per hdd [06:28] Shaggedelic: ls /boot, doesn't show any other kernels. there is only one. It's gone. [06:28] i'd need to see it in the system, and i can't find how to see both hdds activity in system monitor/ubuntu [06:28] yeah sorry [06:28] try adding a line [06:28] adding a line for what? [06:28] darkbishop: ya, good luck man! [06:29] sorry please try adding a line for 2.6.27-3 kernel [06:29] see i u still got it [06:29] How can I run all my commands in SUDO so I don't have to type it at teh beginning of everything [06:29] finalbeta_ - sudo su [06:29] ohh ok u tried it eh? [06:29] sorry haven't played with ibex much [06:30] Finalphase: `sudo -i` will give you a root prompt. You shoudl close it (exit) once you're done doing administrative stuff. === PeanutScape is now known as |Chrizz| [06:30] my driver sometimes goes bust on ungrading the kernel so i just recompile it [06:30] hey. i got a dyndns account with host like myhost.dyndns.org, i got a dedicated server, and i want to make that all requests from the subdomain (bla.mydedicatedhost.com) will go to dyndns account... is that possible? mod rewrite will only slove it for web.. i need for every port [06:30] don't have native support myself. [06:31] rut ro [06:31] hi there i am new to linux and need to setup a small mail server for myself, dhcp server, and i dont know where to start, well i did start downloading ubunto server 7.10 was this wise? [06:32] whymarkwh, somewhat. download the latest version though. 8.10 or something. [06:33] whymarkwh: 8.04 likely better choice, but you have right idea of the server install cd [06:33] how can i change what sound card/driver Firefox is to use? Ubuntu 8.10 [06:33] whymarkwh, dhcp should be easy (google it.. it's straight forward). as far as the mail server, be very very very careful. [06:33] whymarkwh: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html and yes, I agre that 8.04 is a good choice [06:33] well what i need to know is this server edition text based or does it have a desktop interface, dare i say it like windows? [06:34] * epoxy_ gasps [06:34] whymarkwh: test [06:34] depends on how you like it, i would imagine. [06:34] whymarkwh: text rather [06:34] whymarkwh: If you wanted a GUI, just install the desktop edition. [06:34] anyone know VMware and samba? [06:35] whymarkwh: Linux doesn't differentiate between "Server" and "Desktop", they're just programs. Server type programs run equally well on either one.

[06:54] Baatti did you get the driver for it? [06:54] epoxy_¬ do you have a quicker way, that's a little to involved for me [06:54] jimclassic, ctl-f in synaptic, then search for wine. then left click the box next to the package name, and select for installation. Then click the go button on the menu bar. [06:54] i have a file with urls on each line, how do i feed it to wget? [06:54] potissimus, i must have misunderstood. i thought you were in a livecd session and wanted to play with files on a HDD [06:54] Hello, I have rhythmbox that uses 10% of the CPU while being idle and more than 16% while playing mp3 on a Core Duo. What's wrong? [06:54] finalphase: no, I can't find the right madwifi [06:54] if I post the appletalk data stuff in here will someone be able to give me the URI? [06:54] !wine | jimclassic this page has setup info after you install it [06:54] jimclassic this page has setup info after you install it: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [06:54] epoxy_: Thanks.

[06:55] do you knwo where to find it because its not in the repositories [06:55] epoxy, i am in a livecd session because part of the os installed locally is corrupted. However, I can access the files from the local drive in the live session, so I want to copy the local files to a network drive (which ive also mounted). However, when trying to copy, i get a permission error. Any idea why? [06:55] ah, gksu doesn't kill the session [06:55] BrickHaus: #ubuntu-devel [06:55] BrickHaus, #ubuntu-motu, but it's not a place to ask for support. They'll flame you mercilessly :) (actually, just send you here) [06:55] epoxy_: I did.. it does nothing. Put's me back to a $ prompt [06:56] then it didnt find anything, correct? [06:56] I'm not asking for support. All I'm trying to do is find out where a stupid file is and no one seems to know what the path is. [06:56] hehe [06:56] 请教高手怎样进入中文频道 [06:56] damn them all [06:56] ummm [06:56] english? [06:57] BrickHaus, whatsa the file name? [06:57] sis900.c [06:57] no idea, ist windows?

Download your driver, extract it with wine (sudo apt-get install wine) then go the the folder /drivers and there should be a *****.inf file, then go to, System > Administrator > Windows Wireless Drivers [06:57] I think that should work, did for me [06:57] thank you [06:57] I'm trying to look at the source code to figure out why Ubuntu fails to find a PHY for my sis900 chipset. [06:58] BrickHaus, try searching for the file on packages.ubuntu.com first [06:58] ok. thanks nickrud [06:58] Can anybody answer this for me Howcome when i'm trying to get on my vnc java aplet thing, I type my password it flashes black then goes, java.lang.illegalStateException: Old input was not completely processed [06:58] whew.. that chan makes me tired. it's like a lunch rush at tacobell [06:59] finalphase, am I downloading the common file?

[06:59] oops [06:59] My broadcom card detects networks, but won't connect. Ideas? === jonna is now known as pyrohotdog [06:59] My broadcom card detects networks, but won't connect. Ideas? [06:59] can i use ipmsg in ubuntu? [07:00] remote desktop on linux is called? [07:00] For some reason, sometimes my kernel logger (the klogd service) uses up 100% of my CPU; it appears to be continuously dd'ing the contents of /dev/kmsg into my logs. Which I suppose is what it's supposed to do, only without using 100% of my CPU to do it. [07:00] matthudson, rdesktop [07:00] BrickHaus, it's in linux-source-2.6.27 [07:00] I know it's klogd related because CPU use goes back to normal when I do "sudo /etc/init.d/klogd stop". [07:00] kthx [07:00] hello nickrud,can i use ipmsg in Ubuntu? [07:01] The secondary problem with this is that it's filling up my logs. [07:01] matthudson, er... client or server? actual RDP client = rdesktop. if you want to remote into your linux desktop TightVNC [07:01] thanks [07:01] jimclassic take a look at xipmsg , see if it's what you're looking for. [07:01] In particular, the message, kern.log, and syslog logs. [07:01] nickrud: I looked in their and I didn't see the file? You see it? [07:01] there* [07:02] see ya. good luck all. [07:02] how to configure custom page size in ubuntu 8.04? [07:02] BrickHaus, try drivers/net/sis900.c [07:02] No ideas? [07:02] try2free, in openoffice or what? [07:02] :-p [07:02] * epoxy_ hides [07:03] nickrud: I must be blind. I'll look again. Thanks for your kind assistance. [07:03] dont get no love [07:03] BrickHaus, I don't have it installed on my system, but that's where google says it should be [07:03] epoxy_: in wine, i want create custom paper for wine [07:03] nickrud: that's what I keep getting.. but not the full path?? [07:04] epoxy_: i think if i can create custom paper in cups, wine can read it too [07:04] Maybe I should file a bug...next time it happens, I'll copy down the exact commands which are using up all of my CPU. [07:05] try2free, dude. pour the wine in the cups and roll up the paper [07:05] nickrud: drivers/net/sis900.c but what's the full path.. the part infront of "drivers" in Ubuntu.. lolz === ix612 is now known as inka [07:05] BrickHaus, ah, you have installed linux-source-2.6.27? then you'll get a tar in /usr/src . Unpack it, and you'll find it in the linux* dir that shows up [07:05] goodmorning europe [07:06] epoxy_: pour the wine in the cups and roll up the paper, can you more detail please? [07:07] okay, now that I got that, anyone here willing to help get this f****** printer working? [07:07] nickrud: all I have in /usr/src are "linux-headers-2.6.27-7" and "linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic" dirs and both contain a /drivers/net/ dir but now sis900.c anything [07:08] BrickHaus, you haven't installed linux-source-2.6.27 then [07:08] Apletalk is LaserWriter 12/640 PS:LaserWriter 65280.129:129 [07:08] so what is the URI? [07:09] I installed ubuntu 8.10 from livecd with inet connection [07:09] woops [07:09] !restore [07:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about restore [07:09] !backup [07:09] There are many ways to back your system up.

So there's no way for me to call on "ifconfig eth" anything because it never gets a chance to create the interface.

[07:17] ah, well I don't have anything enlightening there. Ethernet cards are black boxes for me [07:18] Ej: I have a Dlink Atheros wireless pcicard. Works like a charm with wpa. [07:18] why I pressed "start recording" in cheese application, my webcam will not respond (the light is off)? [07:18] cw-brad, I've successed made usb boot disk, just following the instruction of: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [07:19] BrickHaus: ahhhh , well ... as far as nic's go ...

[07:20] BrickHaus: look into ndiswrapper [07:20] i hear the noatime parameter in fstab speeds up the system... if I want to insert noatime, do i paste it over the relatime parameter? === tehmas is now known as tehmass [07:20] EJ: really... wow. Never heard of that approach. Worth a try. [07:20] cw-brad: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation theres a section on USB drives [07:20] why I pressed "start recording" in cheese application, my webcam will not respond (the light is off)? [07:20] BrickHaus: its real easy to install and use [07:20] EJ: had to use that a while back for a clients wireless card. It was a snap [07:21] EJ: thanks again [07:21] Flannel, thank you! I've succeed installed ubuntu into my computer, both in hard disk, and also a boot-able usb disk. [07:21] I will give someone a highFIVE if they know the basic need to install any linux OS [07:21] BrickHaus: i've used it with unsupported wireless cards b4 and it works like a charm [07:21] ANYBODY That is VNC Smart, Please msg me or somethin [07:21] BrickHaus: no problem, just make sure you go thru the readme for it. it will explain everything === steven_ is now known as StevenX [07:22] hechu: Another thing you might look into is that Intrepid (8.10) has some new fangled thing where it'll automate that process. You might give that a go as well (its in the Admin menu on the liveCD, I believe) [07:22] Hello. Can anyone tell me of any good GUI sftp software for linux? [07:22] BrickHaus: and you will need to have the windows driver for the NIC available [07:22] StevenX: Tried filezilla? [07:22] EJ: right on. Will do. That would be a nice simple fix. And one I've never heard of for this situation. But that makes perfect since to me. [07:22] Should i wirght a howto on INSTALLING UBUNTU FROM SCRATCH [07:22] Flannel: I have not. Is it in the repos? [07:22] StevenX, or gftp [07:22] StevenX: It is. [07:22] EJ: Oh that's right. So I have to dl a window .exe [07:23] StevenX: you can also try gftp too, It's not as fancy but it's a lot lighter than filezilla [07:23] BrickHaus: yeah but its the .ini file and another that your going to need ... not the .exe file [07:23] you can ftp from terminal too [07:23] Flannel: Thank you. [07:23] even lighter [07:23] alka_trash: I will try filezilla since I've already started installing through apt-get. Will try gftp if need be. Thanks. === Guest64101 is now known as Brucee [07:24] EJ: ok.. I will let you know if it worked or not. Then you can take all the credit in my bug report.. heh [07:24] or not to do nothing. the lightes [07:24] and you may be able to sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper [07:24] BrickHaus: and you may be able to sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper [07:25] cfffq: doesnt solve the problem, mine does ;) [07:25] BrickHaus: hehe thanx for the kudos, but im just good at work arounds if i cant find any other solutions :) [07:26] problems problemss.... they never come to an end [07:26] cfffq: as is life [07:26] story of my life [07:26] ba-dum [07:27] labą dieną visiems [07:28] EJ: hmmmm. So I should probably remove the sis900 module then and put it on the blacklist so it doesn't start at boot. Since it's not doing me anygood anyway. [07:28] Ej:.. heh.. ya. I will owe you some Cyber Beerz [07:29] BrickHaus: yeah i would [07:29] !cookie | ej [07:29] ej: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie!

[07:32] EJ: classic example with apt-get. Opposite of install...remove (not uninstall) [07:32] militant : yes samba is usually the best to use, highly flexible [07:32] deep_: sudo apt-get install apache2 [07:32] ActionParsnip: Slack>Gentoo> courting Ubuntu.. she's pretty.. but is she'll all that and a box of chips.. will see.. [07:32] deep_: google ubuntu perfect setup [07:32] i did that and i had properly installed as well but the problem is the file permission with var folder [07:32] didn't care for gentoo [07:33] loved slax tho [07:33] BrickHaus: redhat, mandriva, ubuntu, gentoo (all running except redhat) [07:33] BrickHaus: yeah i did a full out install of gentoo .... once [07:33] hello, how can i make the vnc server start on startup [07:33] kalosaurusrex2, deep_: Please don't. Howtoforge is a horrible site for Ubuntu information. Instead see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [07:33] the default vnc server that is [07:33] !startup | kambiz_ [07:33] kambiz_: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [07:33] use feladoa foe a try...forgive me.... [07:34] kambiz_: crontab might work [07:34] i really need an easy backup solution.. i just need to make a complete system image of ubuntu.. burn it out on a cd... make it bootable and easy to restore... can that be done with such simplicity that our moms could do it ? [07:34] !backup | badstue [07:34] badstue: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [07:34] please tell me the way to remove apache php and mysql completely so that i can make the way for the fresh installation of these [07:35] badstue, maybe acronis¿ [07:35] irpapabear: no one cares for anything if its constantly breaking.. Gentoo .. I could do anything. Make a router/firewall.. Pear everyting down to just those needed essentials. Better than anything cisco has everymade.. heh [07:35] I'm running a server with NFS and DNS and when I'm transfering a file to it or from it the DNS becomes unreachable. Any ideas for a solution to this? [07:35] sudo apt-get sbackup [07:35] i think it worked well [07:35] iwlist wlan0 scan ; will show me my receive signal level. how to find out my transmit signal level? [07:35] badstue: you could do what i do, have a cron job nightly to cp files to a usb drive, restore involves copying the file back from backup [07:36] badstue: nice to see a backuper, youd be suprised the amount of people who dont have it then moan when their hard drives fail. I find it utterly hysterical [07:36] Flannel, yeah, I did use the tool to make usb startup disk, but it failed. When I try to make it manually, I guess the tools may be forget to mark the usb-disk to "actived" for boot-able. [07:36] so true [07:36] goldmetal: iwconfig [07:36] god knows why any one would use mad wifi over ndiswrapper. i have used madwifi for 2 years and it was nothing but trouble now couldnt get it wooorking on intredip so have been trouble free with ndiswrapper since intrepid from day one. its great and connection speed and % is faster [07:36] hello everyone, I've a problem. After I upgrade my ubuntu from 8.04 to 8.10, my cheese application can't record video but it can take a photo, what should I do? before I upgrade, it can record. [07:36] EJ: crontab to start up the vncserver on startup? [07:37] genii, thx [07:37] EJ: Gentoo has some of the best doc's on the planet and their community is by far none, the nerdiest most knowledgeable people I've ever got to deal with. [07:37] how can I set iptables so that when I want to contact ip address 192.168.0.1 from my computer, it will redirect my request to 192.168.0.2 ? [07:37] EJ: off to trying your suggestion out. cya [07:38] upgrade_ubuntu: you could try renaming the file it keeps its config, uninstalling it then reinstallin it. A new config will be created when you run it after that and it will be just like a clean install [07:38] BrickHaus: yeah i know, but it took like 8 hours for me to do the installation from the ground up [07:38] cya ej [07:38] BrickHaus, you should know lionux people from polonia..... [07:38] luddite: ndiswrapper relies on windows binaries and doesn't gvie you anywhere near the amount of options that madwifi does [07:38] almost a diferent race [07:38] kambiz_: i use crontab for my eggdrop to load on startup, i dont see why it wouldent start up vnc . [07:38] I have a ubuntu 7.10 install where I had compiled in OSS v4 which I've just removed. Now my soundcard doesn't get detected by alsa/gstreamer anymore - anyone who can help me? :-) [07:38] thats why i use it atleast [07:39] ActionParsnip: I've done it but it still has the same error. after I uninstall it, my computer should be restarted? [07:39] luddite: makes my atheros wifi card work immediately :). out of the box wireless for me :) [07:39] irpapabear: take care [07:39] jetblack101 : that maybe so but it is more stable and provides a stronger connection. actually - it finds more networks too. [07:39] anyone know how I can stop b43 from sending PHY transmission errors to stdout? [07:39] it's a snd_hda_intel [07:39] does anybody have a url to a guide somewhere that explains the missing network manager? [07:39] upgrade_ubuntu: no need, if you run it from terminal do you see any output to tell you whats going on? [07:40] how to make wifi work on acer aspire 5520 g ,,, [07:40] upgrade_ubuntu: before you reinstall, you could use sudo apt-get clean so you know the system is downloading a fresh copy from repo and not using the cachd version [07:40] deep_: lspci will tell you what it is (bets broadcom) [07:41] action_parsnip: lucky bugger ;-) mine is a weird atheros. in a acer aspire - i didnt expect it to work OOTB but mad with the correct patches was maddening [07:41] ActionParsnip: thanks for the answer, I'll try it again and I'll give ur answer. [07:41] luddite: acer usually use broadcom chips from what ive seen [07:42] ActionParsnip, upgrade_ubuntu: Make sure you purge the package (in apt-get, or "completely remove" in synaptic), just removing it won't touch the config files. Also, make sure you've got the right package (dpkg -S /path/to/file will tell you which package contains the file) [07:42] luddite: and a proprietary power management requiring aceracpi.ko module [07:42] it used to work fine before i switched to ubuntu 8.10 [07:42] hi guys. I'm looking for recommendation(s) for a debian/ubuntu-based distro that would suit some security-related needs: tor & anonymity, torrentflux, apache, webmin, nfs & ntfs, samba, etc, etc [07:42] anonymous torrent NAS server [07:42] AnnoyingMouse: nubuntu [07:43] AnnoyingMouse: webmin isnt supported with ubuntu [07:43] all i need to do was to install madwifi but now it doesnt [07:43] yea, but I want to do without some of the bloat [07:43] AnnoyingMouse: its not debian/ubuntu ... but check out SME Server (CentOs Dist) [07:43] similar to nubuntu [07:43] AnnoyingMouse: i run kubuntu + kwin for that same purpose (with x server killed when im not using it) [07:44] AnnoyingMouse: DSL for lightness on the system [07:44] AnnoyingMouse: or gentoo maybe [07:44] I'm trying to install a Pandora screenlet on 8.04, but when I run the .py, it says 'E: Couldn't find package gtkmozembed'. Where can I find it? [07:44] how do i edit the icon from my menu? [07:44] gentoo or dsl. makes sense. thanks [07:45] heh, fiddled with samba for an hou ror two, but nfs took like 45 secs to setup. cool [07:45] toastedmilk: apt-cache search zembed [07:45] <[MOD]xubuntu> guys wer can i find a nice source 4 ubuntu 6.01 updates [07:45] actionparsnip: the new ones use atheros [07:45] <[MOD]xubuntu> im having trouble lately [07:45] [MOD]xubuntu: You mean 6.10? or 6.06? [07:45] militant: samba takes 5 seconds, the conf file is very simple [07:46] good morning [07:46] <[MOD]xubuntu> i mean 6.06 [07:46] luddite: good, least they are finally doing something right [07:46] <[MOD]xubuntu> dats the 1 [07:46] anyone managed to get ubuntu bootable from an ipod? [07:46] [MOD]xubuntu: You shouldn't be having any issues with updates. What errors are you getting? [07:46] <[MOD]xubuntu> failed to fetch updates [07:46] MonsieurBon: No [07:47] <[MOD]xubuntu> i already uncommented the sourcelist [07:47] AnnoyingMouse: SME Server is a ready to go Linux install, Configured like a router thru a preinstalled web interface, samba is ready to go as well as Apache, it also has a ready to go mail server, dns server, proxy server, as well as a few others. [07:47] Flannel, seams to be impossible... [07:47] actionparsnip : maybe - took me about two hours to get stupid hibernate to work on 8.10. :-( - aceracpi.ko ?? what is this dark art? [07:47] [MOD]xubuntu: alright, please pastebin the following: /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of sudo apt-get update [07:47] <[MOD]xubuntu> what seems to be the problem?? [07:47] AnnoyingMouse: installs in about 30 minutes [07:47] MonsieurBon: Yes. [07:47] MonsieurBon: do yuo mean booting a system from an ipod, or having ubuntu bootup on an ipod on the screen locally? [07:47] ActionParsnip: no need for samba nfs is workin great now. but no, samba was having issues, couldn't get the two machines to see each other and i couldn't see any reason why :P [07:47] luddite: i dont bother with that. its not worth it imho [07:47] ActionParsnip, i'm talking about having a live system on my ipod. [07:48] is it possible to make complete backup of ubuntu 8.10 so that when it breaks down we can reinstall it from the back up cd [07:48] <[MOD]xubuntu> tnx guys for the tips [07:48] MonsieurBon: Ah, that could be doable... if you have a PC that can boot to USB [07:48] actionparsnip - aceracpi.ko ? dont bother? [07:48] MonsieurBon: oic, i guess you could. why you d want to is anyones guess. USB sticks are stupidly cheap now and at less risk to the more expensive ipod [07:48] ActionParsnip, Flannel: I've do it with the "apt-get purge cheese", "apt-get clean" and "apt-get install cheese" but the error is same. After I press "start recording" button, my webcam will off and in cheese application will blank and I've press "stop recording" button, the application doesn't give the respond [07:49] ActionParsnip, I have an ipod but no usbstick though! ^^ [07:49] MonsieurBon: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for some tips/instructions/etc (theres a section on USB stuff) [07:49] Flannel, seams the ipod doesn't like the "boot" flag on it's partition [07:50] luddite: acer have a proprietary power management, I had an aspie 5700 (I think) about 3 years ago and it needed it. Its also in the EEE PC and is causing a stink as Acer are refusing to surrender source to the module, breaking GPL [07:50] upgrade_ubuntu: Sounds like a bug and not a config file isssue. Have you checked launchpad? [07:50] ActionParsnip, A bunch of stuff came up referring to gtkmozembed, but I still can't run the screenlet. to run a python command it's 'python '(no <>, obviously) [07:50] MonsieurBon: the boot flag doesn't matter for modern OSes, only DOS cares (not even Windows) [07:51] Flannel, oh really? so I only need to copy all the stuff the the ipod?? [07:51] toastedmilk: that only searches the available programs, you can install from that list by apt-get install'ing the package name [07:51] I need help, my computer locked up recently, had to "dirty" boot it, upon restarting, the x-server would not start, I got the message "display server start so many times in so many seconds, trying again in 2mins" researched it online, tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and that doesnt help, tried use "vesa" drivers and it also doesnt help. Please advise.... [07:51] Flannel: not yet [07:51] MonsieurBon: However, that page also has one regarding creating a boot disk, which will boot to the CD [07:51] after the complete installation of apache,php5 and mysql when i get into var directory i cannot add anything with gksudo nautilus i managed to add all my stuffs [07:51] toastedmilk: i dont use screenlets (or gnome for that matter) so i'm kinda useless here [07:51] but the problem is the pages donot load image files [07:51] actionparsnip: i might try to get this APM installed as i think the battery life could be impacted by not having it. today with i was completing a chapter of my book the stupid thing crapped out [07:51] deep_: thats because that folder is ownded by root [07:51] I seem to be having trouble receiving files on Xchat, could someone try sending me a small test file?

[08:40] nWhen I try to connect to my VNC Server via: Java Applet in the Browser, I get, a quick black screen flash then java.lang.illegalStateException: Old input was not completely processed howcome [08:40] http://www.shantanubhadoria.com/techno-blab/69-setup-wi-fi-on-compaq-presario-c700-c770tu-atheros-ar242x-with-ubuntu.html [08:40] there u go :) [08:40] it will work for your card [08:41] santanu...thanks i will give a try [08:41] could someone point me to a guide to walk me though hibernate/ troubleshooting issues [08:41] u r welcome [08:41] Finalphase: does it work with a proper vnc client app? [08:41] Umm one sec let me check [08:41] um what exactly is the problem nibsal242 ? [08:42] i have a problem with sound coming from speakers even though earphones are plugged in. what to do about that? [08:42] ActionParsnip: Yes it does my friend [08:42] Finalphase: then java or your browser are to blame [08:42] How can I redirect a request from my computer from ip address xxx to ip address yyy? [08:42] shantanu_: if I hibernate or suspend I et a black screen for a while... and the its just the black screen like a screen saver with the box to type in my password. It doesn't actually suspend or hibernate. [08:43] Kartagis: on my laptop the speakers and headphone jack are treated as two separate outputs.. the switching is done in software afaik [08:43] Finalphase: what OS / browser / java are you running on the client system? [08:43] for example, if I telnet 192.168.0.1, it would display 192.168.0.2 to me [08:43] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 8.10 / Firefox / Java5 [08:43] csaba: I believe you can set that in the the /etc/hosts file for your system [08:43] java5 ? [08:43] Finalphase: 64bit or 32bit? [08:43] 64bit [08:44] I think it is anyways, how would I check [08:44] nibsal242: when you suspend u ought to get that not so for hibernate though [08:44] ziroday: ok i've tried that, but I need something more sophisticated... when I go to www.myhost.com:8000/aaa/bbb, I need it to redirect me to www.otherhost.com/aaa/bbb... how to do that? [08:44] Finalphase: id look at putting 32bit on it so that you can run Sun's Java. It can help. [08:44] Finalphase: 64bit java isnt really implemented properly yet [08:44] csaba: this is a website? [08:44] ActionParsnip: I am running Sun's java tho, sudo apt-get sun-java6-jdk [08:45] Finalphase: thats the java dev kit [08:45] it's a web service [08:45] Finalphase: not a browser plugin [08:45] ActionParnsip: ahhhhhhh [08:46] Finalphase: you could try iced-tea [08:46] shantanu_: its not actually suspending or hibernating... after my upgrade to ibex it said out of memory once when I tried to hibernate; ( makes no sense 1GB ram, 4GB of swap ) now I get no error message [08:46] Finalphase: sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin [08:46] Slart, it used to be that way on my laptop too, but somehow it now isn't [08:46] quick question, ubuntu's share configuration, where does it actually modify samba? I'm trying to ensure a share is globally writable, but /etc/samba/smb.conf isn't modified [08:47] Finalphase: failing that id try a VM with 32bit linux and suns java plugin to test [08:47] nibsal242: ahh that makes sens [08:47] Winkie: i always manually modify smb.conf...far easier [08:47] csaba: okay, what well for that you can create a web page that redirects to the other page [08:47] I need some help from someone... My display server constantly restarts (shuts down), I tried switching to "vesa", "nv", or using "nvidia" as the drivers, I tried using "Option "noaccel"", I also tried running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" with NO SUCCESS, however, when I shutdown the xserver by switching to TTY1, then running "startx" it loads fine... SO WHAT THE H IS GOING ON!!!! [08:47] ActionParsnip: well fair enough, i can do that, but it sorta defeats the point of it being in ubuntu :p [08:47] WIGGMPk: tried repairing the xorg from the recovery option in grub? [08:48] ziroday: I can't do that, because I don't have access to the remote website [08:48] Winkie: i can give you mine to look at, you'll see how easy it is [08:48] csaba: well sorry I am at a loss as to how exactly you can access the website [08:48] ActionParsnip: oh i know how easy it is, it's my job (sorta) [08:48] nibsal242: during hibernation the last state is written to your main space not RAM or swap [08:48] ActionParsnip: my point was that I don't know how ubuntu does it, and that's what i want to know :) [08:48] ActionParsnip: What do I do with a ****.jnlp file? [08:48] let's say when I type in www.google.com into my browser, I want it to redirect me to www.mysite.com:8000 [08:48] ActionParsnip: I suppose you mean running recovery mode and then choosing the option repair x..? yes I have tried that.. and also manually tooling around with xorg.conf and dpkg-reconfigure [08:48] nibsal242: so if it says ran out of space you prolly ran out of space on your hard disk [08:49] Winkie: i have no idea. I run ubuntu as well as many other distros and always edit the file manually [08:49] csaba: that's probably not going to be easy, the best way to deal with that would be to set up an intermediary proxy, but that's a big deal compared [08:49] Winkie: http://pastebin.com/f4ade73dc read the bottom 20 lines ;) [08:49] csaba: what are you trying to do exactly? [08:49] ActionParsnip: I have also booted the LiveCD, and compared the "generic" xorg.conf against my own (which is exactly the same) after running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:49] Winkie: no need for a silly gui app [08:49] ActionParsnip: sure, i'm a debian sysadmin, but i would like to be able to debug this for ubuntu too [08:49] ActionParsnip: i don't disagree with you, but i have enough users using ubuntu that it matters :) [08:50] csaba: and only on your machine? [08:50] WIGGMPk: boot system normally, press esc when it is offered, select recovery mode for your current kernel then choose fix xorg (or however its worded) [08:51] shantanu_: no, I didn't run out of space, I have lots of space available, and lots of swap space available [08:51] WIGGMPk: or try booting to an older kernel to see if that helps [08:51] Winkie: thats all i got man, sorry [08:51] ActionParsnip: yes, using gfx grub so minus the "ESC" part.. [08:51] Winkie: ok I have a Java applet, which fetches an IP address from the database, then calls this IP address. The problem is this address is set so that the production server would work, so locally on my developer machine I need to manually start the same command on my local server... what I need to do is: the applet reads the IP address from the database, calls it, but my machine redirects it to another address, which would be my local machine [08:51] ActionParsnip: no problem, thanks for the help [08:51] Winkie: you could teach them the way :) [08:51] ActionParsnip: I only have 1 previous kernel and Ive tried repairing from the previous kernel and the current kernel.. ive tried just booting to the older kernel, nothing I have tried works.. [08:52] I'm trying to install virtualbox (full version, not OSE) with command "sudo apt-get install virtualbox" and apt-get allways isntalls OSE version. How can I specify that I would like to install full version? [08:52] maybe something like this would work? iiptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 125.17.156.66 -i eth1 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.250 [08:52] csaba: and what is wrong with setting it in the /etc/hosts file? [08:52] csaba: yes, that is in fact a potentially good option [08:52] csaba: you would probably want to add -p tcp --dport 80 [08:52] anyone know samba? [08:52] ok thanks i'll try something [08:52] ActionParsnip: I have a separate /home partition so reinstalling is not a BIG deal but I dont know how to NOT reinstall over that partition (never did it before) [08:52] shantanu_: I'll be right back; I'm going to try hibernating and then look at the logs === TheImp is now known as TheInfinity [08:52] nibsal2422: arite [08:53] nibsal242: arite [08:53] ronhalfdanr: a bit, what's your query? typically asking if you can ask or if anyone knows x or y is frowned upon.. [08:53] tparcina: which repo are you installing virtualbox from? [08:54] WIGGMPk: choose custom partitioning and remove /swp and / then tell the installer to use the space. Once in, add a line to fstab to mount the home partition at boot [08:54] Anyone else having 8.10 refuse to preview fonts? Double-clicking on a TTF or OTF gets "no application installed for this file type"... wha? [08:54] ziroday: I didn't specify any, I use those that I have in my sources.list [08:54] hello [08:54] tparcina: and you are running intrepid [08:54] ActionParsnip: I think i might be forced to do that, can you think of any other reason that NOTHING works but manually shutting down the GDM and running startx? === ChesteR is now known as Reaper [08:54] justizin: ok, it worked last night but doesn't now..........when I try to map the network drive from the XP vm I get network path not found [08:54] ubuntu [08:55] ziroday: no, 7.10 server - I belive that's Gutsy [08:55] Madpilot: sudo apt-get install gnome-specimen [08:55] you're 100% sure your'e doing the same thing? where is the share? local? internet? [08:55] Madpilot: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/gnome-specimen.html [08:55] tparcina: ah okay :). I believe you need to get virtualbox from www.virtualbox.org for the non open source one as it is not in the repository [08:56] I'm having audio trouble.. i can now play tunes with Banshee, but i get no audio from my browser (youtube, myspace, etc)... any ideas? [08:56] ActionParsnip, gnome-specimen is already installed; I'm going to force a reinstall now, tho [08:56] Madpilot: sudo apt-get install gfontview would do you too === d0nets is now known as d0netsFN [08:56] justizin: the share is a folder on my local machine, running vmware server for an XP vm [08:56] how can i copy /home/user to /backup without getting any permission errors ? [08:56] ActionParsnip: here's a question, how do I stop GNOME from automatically starting, and the xserver from auto starting? [08:57] ok I've tried this but no effects: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 87.212.8.126 -p tcp --dport 8000 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1 [08:57] ziroday: now I have put deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian gutsy non-free in sources.list and it seams it's downloading full version [08:57] and yes justizin I am sure I did the same exact thing [08:57] hello there , i am trying to cd into my .wine , but it cannot find Program Files, what the path to that file? [08:57] ziroday: I'll let you know the results [08:57] ronhalfdanr: can you do an smbclient listing or somesuch? i have to call it a night soon, but there is a good bit of info on troubleshooting samba.. [08:57] one thing about windows networks is that they mutate [08:57] csaba: if you PM me we can go through this in more detail [08:57] ;) [08:57] csaba: it might be hard to follow here [08:57] !copy [08:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about copy [08:57] how do I do that justizin? [08:57] !home [08:57] Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [08:57] I did a ping and that's good [08:57] shantanu_: error -12 not enough free memory ; I have more than enough free space [08:58] ActionParsnip: sorry to spam you, but I went to Administration > Login Window and it said GNOME Display Manager is not running, what is the difference... startx doesnt start GNOME? I dont use KDE [08:58] usb disks dont automount for ages now. what's the dilly yo? hardy here.. [08:58] Anyone know why Firefox audio doesnt work, but audio player audio does? [08:59] nicholaspaul: what version of ubuntu? [08:59] WIGGMPk: not sure dude [08:59] ziroday: 8.10 [08:59] nicholaspaul: what are you trying to play audio with in Firefox? [08:59] nibsa1242: YouTube, MySpace... [08:59] ActionParsnip, gfontview is no longer in repos [08:59] nicholaspaul: is firefox using the correct sound system? [08:59] nicholaspaul: one sec [08:59] ActionParsnip: dunno.. how would i check?

[09:00] nicholaspaul: browse around the settings, if its sound in flash then its not strictly firefoxes fault [09:00] nicholaspaul: you'll want to upgrade to flash-non-free version 10 and it should be hopefully fixed [09:00] nicholaspaul: try install the package flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound [09:00] nibsa1242: aaah. gotcha. I'll give it a shot:) [09:01] ziroday: k.. i'll try it out. [09:01] anyone know how to do an smbclient listing? [09:01] Hello all, I'm having trouble here, thunderbird doesn't seem to be getting my messages [09:02] nicholaspaul: I had a similar issue, flash 9 caused the entire pulse audio server to die; flash 10 fixed the problem === Kabaka is now known as Kabaka[A] [09:03] someone know the path to were installed documentation lives for a given package besides "man"? [09:03] Arenlor: thunderbird isn't a mail server, what are you connecting to [09:03] Arenlor: send yourself an email to test [09:03] Hi all :) [09:03] BrickHaus: doumentation isn't normally installed outside of the man pages, however you can normally find the documents online or if there is anything it's normally in /usr/share/$something [09:03] ActionParsnip, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gfontview&searchon=all&suite=all§ion=all [09:04] nibsa1242: nicholaspaul: i run flash on my 64bit rig via nspluinwrapper and works great [09:04] ziroday: nibsa1242 is flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound the same as Flash 10?

[09:08] Arenlor: does it prompt you for a username/passsword ? [09:08] how can I specify from which repository I would like to install package? (if it's in more than one repository) [09:08] nicholaspaul: went to youtube after that and youtube videos worked like they should [09:08] nicholaspaul: no, flash-non-free v10 is different.... and for some reason it didn't auto update from flash 9 [09:09] that didn't work [09:09] i have v10.. and restarting FF doesnt help..

So I should have the same version [09:10] nicholaspaul: sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper; nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so [09:10] ActionParsnip: ok!

[09:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:13] nicholaspaul: yes its a flash sound thing. theres a few guides on it (websearch for no sound ubuntu flash) [09:14] ActionParsnip, what is nicholas sound issue?

[09:17] has anyone figured out a fix for jerky flash playback in 8.10? [09:17] has anyone tried to customize a ubuntu installation machine with preseed? Im having some problems to do it [09:18] kyle__again_and_: what do you mean by 'specific port'?

[09:19] Gnite [09:20] Winkie, i have 3 'jacks' in the front of my laptop, the 'hedphone' jack is physically busted, but thats where my sound is being output to, i'd like to send it to a dif port [09:21] kyle__again_and_: i see, is that a feature your laptop actually supports? have you got a speaker jack or similar? [09:21] Winkie, the labels on the 3 jacks are headphones, output, and input [09:22] kyle__again_and_: i see, and have you had this working before? I only ask because some headphone jacks will detect when something is plugged in and automatically redirect output [09:22] Winkie, also, when i had vista installed it said i had another port somewhere but i never had a reason to find it [09:22] Winkie, it would auto detect in vista, but not in ubuntu [09:22] any amule/firestarter/iptables experts present? [09:23] kyle__again_and_: ah i see, i would run 'aplay -l' and 'aplay -L' and pastebin that, that should show you what devices alsa can see, they may not be named appropriately though [09:23] how i can open network configuration with sudo ? what command use? , thanks [09:23] there could also be an option in your mixer settings (run 'alsamixer') to redirect output [09:23] heret1c: i know my way around iptables, what's up? [09:23] Winkie, pastebin?

[09:24] Winki. lowid, innanutshell. [09:25] I tried to install aicuu, and the installer hangs in the config part (the install still works). So I ctrl+c to abort the installation, which is fine, considering I can manually configure. However, when I now try to install new packages, it attempts to install aicuu again, every time. How can I remove it from the "to-do" list, so it doesn't attempt to install every time ? [09:25] hello [09:25] if i use a text-based login, how significantly will it improve boot time? [09:25] heret1c: lowid? [09:25] what are you saying [09:26] 怎样进入中文界面 [09:26] Winkie: in amule. can't connect directly to other clients, must go through ed2k server.

[09:28] heret1c: i see, are you behind NAT? [09:28] kyle__again_and_: that all looks normal, run 'alsamixer' and browse through the controls there, there may be one that can select headphone output [09:29] kyle__again_and_: also what is the model of your laptop? i'll do some googling [09:29] does anyone know where the newbie for linux [09:29] Winyes, the firewall on my machine or the wifi router I'm connected through blocks that port (4969) [09:29] how can i get the opengl screensavers to work with nvidia-glx-96 graphics driver for the nvidia geforce 6100 graphics card? they have been installed but they are not working. the graphics driver works. the graphics card works. the opengl screensavers dont work. [09:29] Winkie, dell inspiron 1525 (i know dell sucks but they were willing to finance) [09:30] heret1c: i see, does your computer have a private IP address (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x or 172.16.x.x) ? [09:30] kyle__again_and_: no comment, my laptops are both broken :D [09:30] milligaan: try sudo apt-get purge aicuu [09:30] Winkie: 10.x.x.x, yes. [09:31] heret1c: right, your problem is that that IP address isn't available to the internet, the router you are going through is changing it for the real external IP address [09:31] because of this, packets to the appropriate port are going to the router [09:31] and you need to set up a rule there to forward them to your machine [09:32] has anyone had luck getting connected to eduroam ?

[09:32] does anyone know where the newbie for linux [09:32] Winkie: I don't have direct access to the router. [09:32] does there need to be an entry in my startup list for gnome-settings manager? [09:33] heret1c: i'm not sure you can do anything about it then i'm afraid, it might be possible to signal the router with upnp to tell it to forward that port, but that's something I don't know too much about [09:34] how can i get the opengl screensavers to work with nvidia-glx-96 graphics driver for the nvidia geforce 6100 graphics card? they have been installed but they are not working. the graphics driver works. the graphics card works. the opengl screensavers dont work. [09:34] hi all [09:34] Winkie: ah. must investigate, then. [09:35] anybody using anjuta here? [09:35] kyle__again_and_: from reading it seems that there are a few problems with the soundcard you're using, but that you might have headphone jacks on the left and right, i assume that's not an option? [09:35] heret1c: sorry i couldn't help further but it's likely that is the source of your problem rather than a local firewall [09:35] quick poll... could one or two of you using ibex that have machines that hibernate properly tell me the result of cat /sys/power/image_size is?

How do I change the keybind? [09:38] Winkie, alsamixer was no go, only volume controls and balance controls, no output. as for the right port, all 3 are next to each other, the far left is the one it's set to output to, the far right is labelled mic and the middle is labelled speakers. when i run a test sound with the speakers plugged into the mic port, i hear the sound int he external speakers (static from the loose port) when i plug it into the middle, or rig [09:38] ht port, it plays sound out of the laptop speakers [09:39] ikonia : mysql-server doesn't exists, but when I try /etc/init.d/mysql-server start it says "fail" [09:39] laurent9238: type stop [09:39] it says ok [09:39] laurent9238: now try start [09:39] o.k. Thank you for the responce, Does it matter flavor of Linux I am using? I have mandriva 2008 installed on my computer. Am on a windows computer right now though (at work) [09:39] laurent9238: don't forget to use sudo [09:40] ikonia : yes I use, thanks :) [09:40] but when trying to start again it tries for 10 or 15 sec and then fails again === petrov is now known as MALENA [09:41] kwdaye: this channel is for ubuntu linux support. [09:41] laurent9238: ok, so open the msql-server script and walk through the "start" commands manually to see what the issue is [09:41] o.k. [09:42] I know nothing about linux [09:42] sorry [09:42] ikonia : ok, how I do it ? where do I find the script ? [09:42] laurent9238: you know where it is - /etc/initd [09:42] laurent9238: you know where it is - /etc/init.d [09:43] kyle__again_and_: i'm afraid i don't know how to help you further, there's not really much information about it on google and if you have no alsamixer control i don't know where to look next [09:43] ikonia : yes, sorry I di'nt realized it was a script :) [09:43] Winkie, thank ou for trying, maybe i shoul start checking page 100 on google lol [09:43] how to configure custom page size in ubuntu 8.04? [09:43] is it possible to force the lynx web browser to download a file as BINARY and not mess with line feeds (the file is not really a text file) [09:44] kyle__again_and_: unfortunately this sorta thing happens quite a bit with alsa, you may have to tell it what model of that soundcard you have specifically [09:44] girder: are you attempting to download and save a file? [09:45] or just download and view? [09:46] winkie: download and save it, it's a binary file but the server is saying it's text making lynx mangle it when i download [09:47] girder: wget -O myoutputfile http://path/to/remote/file [09:47] girder: that should work just fine i'd think? === lyte_ is now known as lyte [09:48] Winkie: thanks except i need to be logged in to get it, so i'll need to make a cookie file for wget, etc and that is a lot of effort i'd rather just be able to save it as binary in lynx is that not posible? [09:48] Question : I have my bluetooth headset connected to my system with no problem and I set it up as my proximity system locking device... though I cannot seem to get the bluetooth headset to be my sound device for when I'm listening to music or making a skype phone call... does anyone have any idea how I could possibly fix this ? [09:48] has anyone tried to customize a ubuntu installation CD? Ive been trying to do with preseed and Ive faced some problems [09:48] girder: i don't know enough about lynx to tell you i'm afraid, if lynx saves its cookies then you can load them in wget just fine [09:48] OrangeMechanique: i did so [09:49] TheInfinity, have you done it with preseed? [09:49] Winkie: ok. i will do that, damn lynx not allowing to download as binary :/ thank you [09:49] hello [09:50] OrangeMechanique : I just took my iso mounter and parsed the disc and put in packages in a special folder so I could reinstall them later along with all of the drivers etc that I have ... You can also create a distribution package disc ... or for that matter just download the repository ;) [09:50] hello [09:50] why can't rhytmbox see my mpc files?? [09:50] moke23: you said that [09:50] yes [09:50] ikonia [09:51] Ximal, actually what I want to do is to add some packages (possibly remove some also) and then to be able to already start a script that will configure some of the installed services [09:53] OrangeMechanique : I find it a better solution to play it safe , because when you build your own distro disc then you run the risk of errors upon install if you don't mold it into a multi-system installation disc... [09:53] it might be stuck as just an install for that chipset and board etc.... [09:53] in my case, Id mainly add services ( I guess in the end I would not remove almost anything) [09:54] the purpose is actually that it already install some things like nagios, ntop and etc and that it already configures it [09:54] because the person that is going to install wont have any knowledge at all of almost anything =) [09:54] I tried to install aicuu, and the installer hangs in the config part (the install still works). So I ctrl+c to abort the installation, which is fine, considering I can manually configure. However, when I now try to install new packages, it attempts to install aicuu again, every time. How can I remove it from the "to-do" list, so it doesn't attempt to install every time ? [09:55] why not create a script and hide it in a folder on the root part of the disc you are giving this person... thell them which file to click on and that way it automatically does it all for them.. [09:55] interesting, i was messing with the sound options in VLC and i managed to get the sound to stop when i plug it into the speaker port but not get the sound to output to that port..... i think i'm getting somewhere [09:55] thus they get a little lesson and exposure into linux ;) [09:55] why can't rhytmbox see my mpc files?? [09:56] this could be an option, but nor the prefered one in accord to the person we are doing this project to [09:56] Anyone here know how I can get my bluetooth headset to be my headphone for my pc ... my btdevice is working showing my jawbone is hooked up but i can't get it to be the device that sound is output too ???? [09:57] but let me understand the way you have done it. [09:57] Does anyone know where the "unmatched" search folder went in Evolution 2.24.1? [09:57] Ximal, you have just added the packaged to the CD? Or have you somehow configured it to also install some of those packages? [09:58] Hello , I need help , i would like to use "tail" or "cat" command to show range of lines (from line 1000 to 2000 only) does it possible ? [09:58] Kate28f: use tail -n and head -n to extract a range [09:58] just added it to the cd in a named folder .. usually at the root of the cd like ( extrasformyselffoldernamehere ) [09:59] so, then you have installed them by yourself after the ubuntu was installed [09:59] why i cannot do 2048 len here? ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 2048 -f /root/a-key [09:59] Kate28f: cat file | tail -n+1000 | tail -n1001 === sirfelius_ is now known as sirfelius [10:00] Kate28f: [10:00] Kate28f: sorry, I meant cat file | tail -n+1000 | head -n1001 [10:01] Kate28f: where 1000 is your start line and 1001 is stop line - start line + 1 [10:02] What can the problem be when getting " /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpcre " while doing make [10:02] ikonia : can't get it to work, nevermind, I delete everything and reinstall it from scratch... [10:02] thanks [10:02] I quit, I'm bored ;) [10:04] I once used this application that would check a bunch of things for me in aid of my organization and cleanliness. One of these things it did was check a directory recursively for empty directories, tell you about them, and have the option to delete them. Does anyone remember what this program is called?

[14:22] do you still need to use the alternate cd for intrepid if you want to install a raid0? [14:22] Basicly, the current network layout is that we have a router which distributes the dsl line to switches without a server computer, and I want to inject a server computer that can limit the p2p bandwith to a specfic percentage [14:22] solomon yes [14:22] solomon keep in mind not to put /boot on raid0 [14:22] solomon: even better, don't use raid0 [14:22] yyyyyyy: are you russian?

I'll google that right away [15:38] i wonder if hotmail has some sort of 'simpilified' interface option - that may work.. I had it were editing mail in RTF/HTML did not work.. but normal text did..

[15:41] id guess its a whole lot less hassel, since you can just run the "blue e" on the ubuntu desktop instead of firing up vmware [15:41] n8tuser: I'm thinking vmware, but it's quite "bulky" just for hotmail, ies4linux sounds... "better" [15:41] DIL_: are you talking about workgroups or domains [15:41] DIL_, i edit my smb.conf file to set the workgroup. and you need to install the samba service normally also.

[16:13] Dr_willis: does DeVeDe convert?

[16:15] daan: I don't get anything [16:15] AlanBShepard70, yes, several, aptitude search engine | grep gtk [16:15] kambiz_, you could install vnc4server and make that start at boot as a specific user... or spawn as needed.. that wont share the current 'visible' desktop. [16:15] kambiz_, or set up a auto-login user that auto logs in :) [16:15] what's the command line name of the gnome wireless app?

[16:17] Hi, I'm on intrepid trying to burn a cd in k3b, only it won't verify the burn anymore. It ejects the cd and the dialog says verifying, but nothing happens even if I close the cd tray again. This never happened in hardy,, anyone know what is going on? I'm on normal ubuntu btw.. [16:17] csilk: The WPA docs all say that this is for 6.10 [16:18] AlanBShepard70, the theme name will point you [16:18] dromer: umm, well in ubuntu, at the login screen there's a button with "Options" on it, and then you can select a session type.. But I don't know how to do it on KDE.. hang on and I'll consolidate the google :) [16:18] salohcin, WPA isn't specific to any version of Ubuntu?

[16:19] fosco_, thanks...had to remove powernowd [16:19] salohcin, ok, you're clearly looking at old documentation [16:19] no, it goes blank on booting X [16:19] Right [16:19] Where is the new documentation? [16:19] :-) [16:19] on kubuntu 8.10? [16:19] Hi. Instead of orinoco_cs i would liek to use hostap for my wireless card. Hi, I'm trying to get the hostap driver working with my wireless card. However, I've the problem that the orinoco_cs driver is loaded all the time instead. So I added a blacklist for the orinoco modules in /etc/modprobe.d. I also added a mapping for my wireless card to the hostap driver in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. However, the result is that the orinoco_cs driver doesn't get loaded, bu [16:19] t the hostap_driver isn't loaded either. In the syslog it just says that the card is inserted, but nothing happens from there on. Can you give me a hint ? [16:20] help me : nvidia 177 + tty issue [16:20] dromer: are you running kubuntu 8.10? [16:20] daan: yes, I just said that [16:21] csilk: There is a 8.04 or 8.10 docs? [16:21] salochin I'd of thought the info in the docs you are looking at is still relelvent [16:21] hi leute [16:21] dromer: ohh missed that one, sorry.. the new X version does seem to cause a lot of problems.. you could try downgrading to 8.04 and wait for a possible fix [16:21] *relevant [16:21] hey guys [16:21] -_- [16:21] is someone here speaking german?

How could i lower minimum freq [16:29] hi all... someone knows why Asterisk in Ubuntu is not sending SIGHUP to agi's? Is there some configuration preventing that? Maybe permissions / apparmor?

(ati's driver support is looking really good these days i hear?) and how do they match up for gaming (i do game now and again :p) [16:30] when i log on i here sound but when i go on to you tube i can not hear anything] [16:31] Hi, I've just installed openbox on kubuntu, and I'm trying to set up some keybindings, but it appears as though openbox is not reading my ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml ... has anybody run into this before?

If no one answers here (likely) I'd try ubuntuforums.com [16:33] clever: you should not run it with sudo [16:34] c0p3rn1c: ive tried it with and without sudo, nothing works [16:34] clever: it's a small bug, there is a button enable [16:34] thanks csilk [16:34] c0p3rn1c: i see an Unlock button, and its disabled [16:35] clever: if you run it without sudo you can click on Unlock [16:35] c0p3rn1c: nope, i ran it without sudo and Unlock is disabled [16:36] clever: what version of ubuntu are you running ? [16:36] c0p3rn1c: 8.04 [16:36] what is the most easy way to see if your tv-tuner is working in ubuntu ? [16:36] c0p3rn1c: tvtime [16:36] clever: well ehm it works on my ubuntu 8.10 [16:37] logs [16:38] <[T]ank1> I have created a usb startup disk using the utility in the system menu of 8.10 and it works great. What I am wondering is, can that image be modified to make it so that it does not ask to select a language and always defaults to the live cd mode? It would be nice not to have to select those to get in and use it. [16:38] hi [16:38] clever: maybe you should try clicking the time on your ubuntu desktop bar, and go changing the time from there [16:38] is there a single metapackage for installing Apache/MySQL/PHP? [16:38] is there any way to update dvdr firmware in linux ? [16:38] c0p3rn1c: no option to change it from there [16:39] i have installed ubuntu but now my windows doesnt work anymore.. if i choose windows in the grub boot menu, i get a strange error.. cant be loaded.. whatever what can i do / where can i search? [16:39] if i use windows cd to repair windows, does ubuntu still work? [16:40] clever: try date MMDDmmYYYY in gnome-terminal [16:40] !date [16:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about date [16:40] naschil: that would change the time not the timezone [16:40] naschil: my time is allready set properly with ntp [16:40] how can i make 2 computers connect in an ad-hoc manner? I can't seem to get it right [16:40] <`Chris> pw-toxic: Usually it will mean that Windows bootloader will override GRUB thus losing your Ubuntu loader [16:41] edit /etc/timezone [16:41] naschil: i replaced that with a symlink for now, but it doesnt feel like the proper way [16:41] does java work in 64 bit??? [16:41] I have questions regarding memory management in Ubuntu. What is the proper channel, please? [16:41] mixed-_-, it does here. [16:41] why would i be seeing my networked computers only when they are connected wireless and not when connected via cable- buelher ? buehler? [16:41] <`Chris> timbury: Perhaps #ubuntu-motu [16:41] <`Chris> timbury: Depending on what you want [16:41] does anybody here use openbox at all? [16:42] Dr_Willis64: how did you install JAVA support on your browser??? [16:42] Thnx, Chris. [16:42] `Chris: well thats bad.. what could i do else to repair my windows boot ? [16:42] DIL_: What kind of computers are we talking about? [16:42] mixed-_-, all i did was install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package [16:42] `Chris: i have a raid1 system.. maybe this is a problem for grub loading windows? [16:42] I have to reboot the box daily due to memory leaks. It's like running M$. [16:43] clever: tvtime says I need overlay support while I'm running the non-free restricted ati drivers [16:43] Yimpolo: laptops, desktops home networked ubuntu and windows [16:43] Is it possible to downgrade firefox to version 2? [16:43] Dr_Willis64: ok well for some reason it's not working for me, I can't chat on some web pages, I'll look it up, now I know that it is possible, a bit ago I knew there was an issue with 64 bit and java [16:43] <`Chris> pw-toxic: GRUB recognises many systems, Windows should just work off it. HAve you been able to use it since installing Ubuntu? [16:43] c0p3rn1c: then the card itself works, but your video board doesnt :P [16:43] Hi, for some reason sound doesnt work on a lot of Internet videos for me [16:43] DIL_: Is it both Windows and Linux that does not show up on the network? Or just Windows? [16:44] clever: but I'm running compiz-fusion and I cant run a tv-tuner? [16:44] mixed-_-, could be your system is using the non-sun java.. not sure on any issues. Ive not seen any..but i dont use many java based web sites [16:44] <`Chris> Oops timbury, I reread what you said. I thought you meant Ubuntu management, not memory management. Sorry but the chan I said won't be your best bet. Here would be it or #ubuntu-eu [16:44] `Chris: no [16:44] c0p3rn1c: compiz usualy makes video playback worse for some cards [16:44] Yimpolo: all are showing up except 1 which will only show up when connected via wireless [16:44] `Chris: i have installed the intrepid version of ubuntu [16:45] ok; having spent a while googling to little success; i'm having trouble with my laptop after updating to 8.10, the only issue i've not yet found a solution for is network manager not working. The laptop will connect fine if you stick a wire in the back, however the wireless wont connect. Network manager finds the networks fine but when you click on one to connect, nothing happens. [16:45] Additionally, even when connected to wired networks, it dosn't show as connected in network manager [16:45] DIL_: But is that machine a Windows box or Ubuntu? [16:45] `Chris: i just reboot and tell you the error message i get [16:45] `Chris: could take a while [16:45] Yimpolo: sry ubuntu [16:45] clever: ok I'll try it with my compiz-fusion turned off [16:45] DIL_: Are you trying to network them together using Windows Workgroups? [16:45] clever: same error [16:46] c0p3rn1c: what do you want to do with the card? [16:46] watch tv ? [16:46] c0p3rn1c: real time or pause-able? [16:46] Yimpolo: before it was showing under MSHOME modified smb.conf to show domain then disappaered however it does show when connected wireless [16:47] clever: well later pause-able but first let's try to get it working in real time :) [16:47] c0p3rn1c: mythtv is a good program to be able to record/play/pause tv [16:47] it doesnt use the overlay in the same way so it wont have the current problem [16:47] DIL_: Have you manually added the workgroup into smb.conf? (ie: workgroup = HOME) [16:47] and zap out commercials :) dont forget that. === kaii_ is now known as kaii [16:48] Yimpolo: yes [16:48] Ah, hello, everyone! When I'm connected to my university network, no X programs will start. But I can start X programs just fine when I'm not connected to any network. "xeyes", for example, complains about "No protocol specified. Error: Can't open display: :0.0" I've added localhost to my xhosts and changing DISPLAY doesn't seem to help. [16:48] clever: ok i'll try that one [16:48] Hello - quick question. I have some NFS shares in my fstab, and logging on on my laptop seems to be quite slow. I think this is because I have to wait for time-outs on the NFS shares because I need a wireless connection for these - which is only available after logging in. [16:48] Dr_willis: thats so automatic i dont even know its being done half the time:P [16:48] DIL_: Hmmm... [16:48] thegve: defaults,noauto [16:48] Can anyone confirm this - and is there a solution for it? [16:48] I've installed autofs and I was wondering.. There is no /etc/default/auto.master file listed on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs -- There is an autofs file, however it's completely different.. [16:48] clever, OK, but do they get mounted after I connect? [16:49] Yimpolo: yes i gets i will keep it connected wirelss until i stumble onto what i may have done probably something obvious [16:49] thegve: not shure, edit it and see how it works [16:49] or should I use a interface-up script (or something like it) for that [16:49] clever, I'll try [16:50] DIL_: Yeah that's kinda odd... Is your smb.conf file different when you connect wireless vs. wired? [16:50] my sound doesnt play on the internet but im listening to amarok right now, anyone know whats up? [16:50] clever: i just thought there would be an easyer way to see if your tv-tuner works correctly [16:50] anyone? [16:50] Yimpolo: not sure how would i determine that [16:50] c0p3rn1c: ahh yes, cat /dev/video0 > temp.mpg [16:50] can anyone help me with the following error message of grub?: Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format \n Press any key to continue... [16:50] This happens when i try to boot windows [16:50] c0p3rn1c: after about 30 seconds, ctrl+c and try to play the file [16:51] DIL_: Well. Connect wirelessly, note the workgroup name. Then connect via Ethernet and then compare the workgroup names. [16:51] \join #ubuntu-it [16:51] clever: ok thanks!

I don't need logs on my computer, and have limited disk space [16:53] So I was wondering, when I installed autofs, why isn't there an /etc/default/auto.master file?

[16:56] i tape what [16:56] Zaki[Sama]: sudo nvidia-xconfig [16:56] DIL_: Check the "hosts allow" portion to see if all the correct subnets are defined.

[16:59] ljuwaidah saying anyone is pointless, if they didn't see the question "anyone" doesn't tell them the question, if they don't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know [16:59] * lifestream asks: is it safe to disable Computer Activity Logger? (both klogd and sysklogd)? Any side effects I should expect? I don't care about logs and I got bad disk space [17:00] mudit which IDE ? [17:00] lifestream: I find it important to use them [17:00] lifestream: I would strongly recommend against it, they take up harldy any space [17:00] Sorry :D what's the difference between talk and inetutils-talk [17:00] Hey guys, when I use NetworkManager to connect to my university network, why is my hostname "northbound.uccs.edu" rather than "northbound.local", "northbound", or "localhost" like it should be? [17:00] ljuwaidah: standalone daemon and one launched theough inetd [17:00] mid if i ask what IDE it is? (without getting in a war) ^^ [17:00] n8tuser: it is flashdevelop , dotnet based [17:01] Is there any ocfs or gfs or any cluster setup guru's here? [17:01] Need some help [17:01] linux_manju I've used it, but I'm not a guru [17:01] ikonia: so which one should i go for? [17:01] ikonia: That would do.. [17:01] ytalk? :P [17:01] ljuwaidah depends what you want [17:01] hotdog0031-> because thats what your dhcpclient received from your schools server [17:01] ikonia: I am all confused here after reading 10 docs :( [17:01] linux_manju lets see if I can help [17:02] isn't the difference technical? [17:02] hi guys. has anybody got Atheros XB63 Wireless LAN card ? [17:02] ljuwaidah yes, but also effects what you want [17:02] ikonia: The setup I am planning to do is drbd + ocfs2.. [17:02] linux_manju: ok [17:02] ikonia: Both primary/primary [17:02] Glacies, no, but you should state your problem anyway [17:02] anyone know enough about network manager to help me fix it? [17:02] Carnage: depends what the issue is [17:02] ok; having spent a while googling to little success; i'm having trouble with my laptop after updating to 8.10, the only issue i've not yet found a solution for is network manager not working. The laptop will connect fine if you stick a wire in the back, however the wireless wont connect. Network manager finds the networks fine but when you click on one to connect, nothing happens. [17:02] Additionally, even when connected to wired networks, it dosn't show as connected in network manager [17:02] n8tuser: Thanks. However, it seems to be bad because I think it confuses X programs. I get a "No protocol specified" and "Cannot open display :0" error whenever I start, say, xeyes for example. They work perfectly when I'm not connected to a network. [17:03] anyone ? [17:03] ikonia: First question is .. do I need to format /dev/drbd0 in both node1 and node2 [17:03] lifestream: i dont have any problems, i want to buy a new laptop, that has this LAN card [17:03] linux_manju: no [17:03] mudit: anyone doesn't help :D [17:03] ljuwaidah: one node onle, it's a distributed file system [17:03] ikonia: So.. I need to format in node 1 alone and it will replicate [17:03] lol [17:03] but I want to fix it [17:03] linux_manju not replicate - but be available to other node [17:03] it, and my networking worked perfectly fine on 8.04 [17:03] ikonia: huh? [17:04] ikonia: Yes.. thanks [17:04] ljuwaidah that wasn't for you, sorry [17:04] :) [17:04] hotdog0031-> what entry is in /etc/hosts [17:04] how do i get ls to just list subdirectories? i don't want to list files or the contents of the subdirectories [17:04] ikonia: But.. As I understand cluster.conf should be availble in both node1 and node 2 along with ocfs-tools [17:04] linux_manju: you may want to get on the mailing list at beowulf.org [17:04] mudit saying anyone is pointless, if they didn't see the question "anyone" doesn't tell them the question, if they don't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know [17:04] hotdog0031, ah, yeah. if you permanently use your school's network, you can add.. 127.0.0.1 localhost YourSchoolHost to /etc/hosts i believe that is correct [17:04] Hardy:~$ sudo chown juan:juan ~/.gnome2 -R gives :chown: cannot access `/home/juan/.gnome2': Permission denied [17:04] timbury: Will try that.. thanks alot :) [17:04] linux_manju thats as I understand it also [17:05] ikonia: Well.. Here is the problem I am facing now.. [17:05] how can root not hve sufficent permitions? [17:05] ikonia: If I create a file in node 1 its visible in node2 [17:05] Rioting_pacifist: what are you doing ? [17:05] okies [17:05] linux_manju: thats a good start [17:05] Here's my /etc/hosts, thanks lifestream and n8tuser for helping me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/70980/ [17:05] ikonia: But If I add a line in node 2 that line is not getting replicated in node 1 [17:05] [17:04] mudit saying anyone is pointless, if they didn't see the question "anyone" doesn't tell them the question, if they don't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know // repeating the same question over and over could be viewed as spamming. [17:06] my firefox stop launching and was spitting out an error about .gnome2 so i tried deleating it (which failed) then i got that error which is wierd [17:06] Carnage not if you wait a reasonable ammount of time, saying anyone is "spamming" as it's just a random comment to anyone who didn't see the question or can't answer it [17:06] hotdog0031, yeah, from my experience, that looks good. [17:06] ikonia: FYI.. both are mounted in /mnt ( Would like to have a loadbalancer + HA ) for my CVS server [17:07] Yimpolo: must have been a hiccup shut down and the networked computers came up thanks again [17:07] linux_manju I'd ask the mailing list, as it should be two way if you have it in parallel mode [17:07] hotdog0031-> make the entry like 127.0.0.1 northbound.uccs.edu localhost [17:07] ikonia: Will definetly try that.. Thanks alot for your time [17:07] linux_manju sorry it wasn't fixed [17:08] ikonia: Hey.. NP man.. but thanks for the initiation [17:08] ikonia: Will try and update you if i find a fix [17:08] lifestream: Thank you, but it doesn't seem to help. Would you like me to post my xauth information? [17:08] linux_manju I'd be interested [17:08] mini man [17:08] ok; having spent a while googling to little success; i'm having trouble with my laptop after updating to 8.10, the only issue i've not yet found a solution for is network manager not working. The laptop will connect fine if you stick a wire in the back, however the wireless wont connect. Network manager finds the networks fine but when you click on one to connect, nothing happens. [17:08] ?? [17:08] Additionally, even when connected to wired networks, it dosn't show as connected in network manager [17:09] i suppose the question should be, what information do you need to debug this issue? [17:09] hi, what channel is best to get some server advice? [17:09] #ubuntu-es [17:09] Carnage-> can you paste your ifconfig -a results ? [17:09] whats the brasileiro? [17:10] n8tuser: i'll retype them, give me a moment [17:10] hotdog0031, I would love to know how to work with xauth, but I don't sorry :P Last time i used my laptop at Uni, was years ago, I don't remember what I did to make apps work with localhost.. I think you would get better help reporting this as a " bug" in launchpad, even though it might not quite be one. Atleast you could get more specialized information [17:10] Carnage-> also add the results of route -n [17:10] Carnage-> use the pastebin to paste [17:10] BitTorment, #ubuntu-server [17:10] hi, I think vpnc is broken, I cannot connect to any pptp vpn's.. anyone experience this? [17:10] i was going to say having just looked at 1.5 pages of output [17:10] lifestream: Thanks for all your help. I think I'll go dig around in Xorg.log and see what the root cause of all this is. [17:10] will pastebin [17:11] !who | Carnage [17:11] Carnage: 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 :) [17:11] here is pastebin for VPN not working, anyone that can help would be great http://pastebin.com/m55360c0f [17:11] n8tuser: back in 5 [17:12] ei [17:13] Can anyone point me to a good site for ubuntu screen savers, lock screens and usplash themes. I've already gone to gnome-look.org but their selections for the previously mentioned are slim. [17:14] I have a debmirror+rsync question, anyone able to help? [17:14] so i was asking, that can I boot windows from an external hard drive, keeping ubuntu on the machine [17:14] ? [17:14] How can I automount a SMB share from another server on my ubuntu box? [17:14] Hey everytime i restart my ubuntu system, i have problem with resolution and i have to reconfigure it with nvidia x server setting [17:15] from 680x620 to 1250.860 [17:15] mutid: You can try qemu (very slow), vmware (very unstable), Virtualbox (you said it made your machine run hot), or you could add your external hard drive to GRUB's boot menu if you want to dual-boot. [17:15] n8tuser: pastebin.com/m471db4be [17:15] devmon: yes you can add it to your /etc/fstab [17:15] I don't think windows responds well to booting normally off the external hard drive like that though. [17:15] ddgoose, ty [17:15] how can i see what drivers i need? [17:15] mudit* [17:15] isn't it lspci something? [17:15] Hello. [17:16] What language was Ubuntu written in? [17:16] Tetracomm: C/C++ [17:16] Tetracomm, many of them [17:16] Tetracomm: Many. [17:16] Alright. [17:16] What are some of the others? === alphalima is now known as retpally [17:17] python, tcl, asm... [17:17] Tetracomm: i've noticed python scripts in there, probably perl as well. [17:17] kde os brasileiros [17:17] ? [17:17] Carnage-> you ethernet works okay right? [17:17] Tetracomm: Many languages. We use C for the Linux kernel, we use python for some desktop applications, we use Bash scripting for a lot of your auxilary scripts, perhaps some C#/Mono for some weird programs... [17:17] nobody for help ? [17:17] n8tuser: when plugged in wired to the switch, yes [17:17] Ubuntu (at least the normal flavor) uses GTK for its user interface. [17:17] Alright. [17:17] Thank you. :) [17:17] n8tuser: however it wouldn't work on uni campus wired as they use some authenticated thingy that wouldn't work either [17:17] brasil [17:17] brasil [17:17] brasil [17:17] sacix2_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:17] sacix2_, #ubuntu-br [17:18] n8tuser: i also disabled wireless security to no avail on my home network [17:18] Carnage-> can you ping your 192.168.0.1 gateway? [17:18] n8tuser: when wired, yes. wireless, no [17:19] Carnage-> which chip does your wifi card have? [17:19] n8tuser: the wireless dosn't even appear to connect; its found the network fine however when i click on it it no longer brings up the connecting dialogue it used to have [17:19] I've developed an application that I have packaged inside an ubuntu VM and would like to redistribute it. I've read the GPL and it seems this is allowed, but is Ubuntu distributed under the GPL or is there another license I should be looking at? [17:19] n8tuser: give me a clue to find that out? [17:19] Carnage-> sudo lshw -C [17:20] sperlyjinx_, Ubuntu as a whole isn't on the GPL. You are not, I believe, supposed to redistribute modified versions of Ubuntu (except in some circumstances) while keeping the trademarked logos etc. [17:20] Does anyone know software on Linux that can see webinars? [17:20] sperlyjinx_: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy [17:21] I have been able to use debmirror to mirror ubuntu, but I am trying to switch from http to rsync and it's asking me for a password anyone know what I am doing wrong? --> http://pastebin.com/m58593f66 [17:21] sperlyjinx: I think it depends on the individual programs inside ubuntu. Like, restricted-extras wouldn't let you do that. If you'd like, go to the ubuntu website and read their license if you're that paranoid about it. [17:21] Does counter-strike source run natively on linux or do you run it through wine? [17:21] how do i download the matrix screensaver that comes with kubuntu...i dont have it [17:21] gavagai: through wine [17:21] <[T]ank1> after creating the usb startdisk from the system menu in 8.10, where would i find the xorg.conf that it uses? I need to make it work with dual screens. [17:21] gavagai: You gotta run steam and CS:S through wine. Sorry, bro. [17:22] what danger would there be in using debian repos for software? [17:22] [T]ank1: There isn't any. When your USB system boots, it generates for itself an xorg.conf that it thinks will work well for the computer it's being booted on. [17:22] LjL: thanks for pointing me in the right direction [17:22] n8tuser: Pro/wireless 3945ABG [GOlan] network connection; intel corporation === Guest64101 is now known as Brucee [17:22] ddgoose: Which mirror are you mirroring from? [17:22] Does that make you get bad framerates or do the games run the same? [17:22] someone for help ? [17:22] Carnage-> is the driver for it loaded? [17:22] <[T]ank1> hotdog0031: so i just need to boot it up and change it then? [17:22] rsync://anonymous@archive.ubuntu-rocks.org [17:23] n8tuser: i'd assume so, or it wouldn't be able to see any wireless networks at all... how do i check? [17:23] gavagai: Wine hurts the framerate, yes. It'll likely be about 10-20 FPS worse than in Windows. It's not that bad on some other computers I've seen, though- why not try it out and see? [17:23] Carnage-> sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [17:23] <_2> anyone know howto filter the channel list in either epic/bitchx or irssi ? [17:23] hotdog0031, yeah i will give it a try. but i have dual boot win xp pro so i'm not so excited about losing 10-20fps [17:23] hotdog0031: the only repositories enabled in the VM are the main and security, so I should be all set [17:23] thanks for the info [17:24] ddgoose: Try mirroring from a public rsync mirror from: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors [17:24] n8tuser wlan0 interface dosn't support scanning [17:24] [T]ank1: Most likely, yeah. You could boot it up and use the GUI tool to do dual screen if you'd like. Or you could enable persistence and set it up just once. [17:24] someone for help please ? [17:24] anyone can help me to use ekiga? [17:24] gavagai: That 20 FPS drop is only on my machine which isn't very fast to begin with. Your mileage will vary. [17:24] jpds: ok will try a few others [17:24] THanks [17:25] n8tuser: tried iwlist eth1 scan and got results; including my own wireless network [17:25] Hello, I would like to use ktorrent in gnome with the pastique theme, do you know how to do this?

[17:26] n8tuser sudo lshw -C network shows both eth1 and eth0, wireless and wired cards respecivly [17:26] Carnage-> can you pastebin that? [17:27] n8tuser: gimme a couple [17:28] gtg, later guys, thanks ikonia again [17:28] bye [17:28] guys, how do i modify my $PATH so that everytime i boot my system up it will automatically include the java path?

[18:00] Dominik: uhm sorry i wasn't following... picking up background *but* not your voice seems impossible *unless* what you have is a microphone array (two microphones for instance), which are intended to work directionally (cancel out-of-phrase stuff), but instead work the opposite way... [18:00] <_2> Joker_-_ name fits [18:01] astronaute: I have an Intel HDA on my mobo and all I get in 8.10 is a nasty noise and a little bit of audio. My front panel controls don't even work. cgillogly's audio works fine but his front panel still doesn't. GO figure.

[18:02] rrittenhouse, well everything works fine here except microphone, iguess im lucky :) [18:02] LjL: I hear the TV in the background but not my voice (is my brain possibly plaing a trick on me? canceling out echos and stuff) [18:02] Dominik: built-in microphones can be arrays, which laptop is it?

[18:04] <_2> or did i read the wrong question Joker_-_ ? [18:04] I looked at swat and webmin; which is better - I've got limited skills [18:04] Dominik: i can't find that information, but can you perhaps see two holes that might be microphones instead of just one?

I looked at swat and webmin; which is better - I've got limited skills [18:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:05] Dominik: in gnome there may be a tool (devils-pie) IIRC, and under kde3 the sessions more or less do that [18:06] hey all, I'm trying to setup my mic to work properly, I can hear my mic through my speakers when I talk so I know its working, I mute the playback of the mic then go to system->prefs->sound and try to set the capture device to ALSA but I get the error that the device is being used by another process, what can I do? [18:06] a3Dman: yes its in xorg.conf [18:06] 8.10 it is... [18:06] <_2> Joker_-_ no. you can ^z it and do what ever in that shell then fg it back to the front. if you wish to detach it and reatach it elsewhere that's a different matter [18:06] Carnage-> paste your modified /etc/network/interfaces file contents [18:06] how do i change the colour of text in the taskbar without changing the colour of the whole theme [18:06] Here is and easy one, file permissions listed from ls are -rwxrwxrwx+, I have been able to find out what all of this means except the + at the end, can anyone tell me? [18:06] currently my internal drives are sent to automount under administration>authorization... however these drives don't actually mount until I as a user actually click on them... this is very annoying, as I share thunderbird and firefox profiles across OS platforms and it requires that I access the drive myself before my programs can access them as well [18:06] Rioting_pacifist: I want to boot with 1024 [18:06] daves111: I don tknow webmin nor what it's for but I've been using swat with samba for years, always worked flawlessly except for small bugs that can be work around easyly and doesnt cause any problems. [18:06] <_2> Joker_-_ use screen for the detach/reattach stuff [18:06] how to edit that ? [18:06] n8tuser: i basically copied what was there for eth0 [18:07] _2: yeah i already do, problem is that right now the process isnt in a screen [18:07] _2: and it might run for a while [18:07] ok, thanks ... [18:07] Hi; does anyone know how I can automatically mount a HDD every time the computer starts so that i can use the HDD with autostarting programs also? [18:07] <_2> Joker_-_ then it probably has that shell tied up. [18:07] !fstab | LifeSF [18:07] _2: so I'd like to put it in a screen to shut off that console (I'm trough ssh).

[18:08] _2: I'm tempted to try it anyway [18:08] LifeSF, you just have to add it to /etc/fstab [18:08] <_2> Joker_-_ not that i know of. but this is linux, it can probably be done, if you are willing to take all the steps nessecary [18:08] LifeSF: thats technically the way it should work, but intrepid doesn't do it for some reason until you access the drive yourself...

[18:14] a3Dman: whats weird is that the GDM login screen is at the correct hz but gnome itself is not [18:14] yes [18:14] n8tuser: the wireless lan is eth1, so my thoughts was it should be: iface eth1 inet dhcp; auto eth1 [18:14] logon screen is the right res but after logon I have the sync error Rioting_pacifist [18:15] n8tuser: that didn't work, so i added the address and netmask parts under it.

[19:16] PeterBye: im a casual ubuntu user and windows server engineer [19:16] PeterBye: what version of ubuntu are you using [19:16] greencookie: yeh, 100on [19:16] PeterBye: try again [19:16] greencookie: grr, 1000h [19:16] ikonia: well, its not working and reinstalling seems to fix most issues [19:16] Carnage: what network card is this [19:16] ikonia: ok thanks [19:16] NET||abuse, did you boot using flashdrive? [19:17] ikonia: same wireless card as before [19:17] ok.. gimp is at version 2.6.2 way past stable, why is gimp on my hardy install still at 2.4.5 ? [19:17] Carnage: I didn't see what make it was before [19:17] ActionParsnip, have you used Server 08 for wireless EAP certificate or 802.1x authentication? [19:17] Carnage: I only picked up half the conversation [19:17] PeterBye: what version of ubuntu are you using please [19:17] ikonia: gimme a sec [19:17] Which verision of ubuntu is best for a PIII 733Mhz with 256Mb ram? [19:17] having major graphic issues [19:17] NET||abuse, I got the 4g surf and I have to say, Xandros is the worst distro I have ever used. I want Ubuntu eee but cant get it to install. [19:17] anyone would like to help [19:17] Evening all. Can someone please help me with a rogue Samba problem? [19:18] Gabbsmo: lack of ram = xubuntu in my view [19:18] Carnage: type in lspci [19:18] ikonia, it just says XChat: PeterBye @ Ubuntu Server / #ubuntu (+tncLfJ #ubuntu-unregged 2,5) [19:18] Gabbsmo: i have also heard good things about xubuntu on slow machines [19:18] wiijii: wassup? [19:18] PeterBye: thats an irc client - not the operating system version [19:18] Has anybody gotten vmware to run on Intrepid (8.10)? I can't get it to run. When I run the vmware-config.pl script, it fails. [19:18] ikonia ok, can I use the same commands that is listed here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [19:18] eross, you can get 2.4.6 via hardy backports and 2.6.1 is included with Intrepid [19:18] I've been messing around with Samba. It's now uninstalled, but whenever I login, or su to root, I get the message 'failed to add entry for user ' [19:18] ikonia: intel pro/wireless 3945abg [golan] [19:19] PeterBye: I need you to open a terminal and type "lsb_release" and tell me what the version is [19:19] PeterBye: lsb_release -a actually [19:19] PeterBye: sorry, lsb_release -a [19:19] csilk - ty, where can i find these backports [19:19] xubuntu vs fluxubuntu, wich is faster/userfirendy? [19:19] There is no samba installed, no samba process running, and no samba config directory. Ubuntu can't install the samba service because dpkg flakes out [19:19] eross, you would need to add them to your software sources list [19:19] Carnage: what does it say arround the network part driver wise [19:19] 'Cannot configure samba' [19:19] is that going to remove any files [19:19] Gabbsmo: fluxubuntu will be slightly fast but much less user friendly [19:19] right.. guess i need to look on the gimp site to see what they are [19:19] Carnage: thats interesting, I've had no problems with that card, however I college said he had all world of pain [19:19] PeterBye: no, totally safe [19:19] the boss has some stuff on here and I don't nkow how much he needs [19:20] PeterBye: very safe [19:20] eross, if your on hardy you can only upgrade upto version 2.4.6 though [19:20] hello to all, someone can help me for enable ics? i'm going crazy for try to configure it and does not works [19:20] wiijii: can you give me the complete line, you shouldnt need to login as root [19:20] So.... what the heck? There is no google help with this. Has samba somehow hijacked my login process? The 'cannot add entry' error is a samba error, but occurs at login... no idea why [19:20] eross, give me a sec I will walk you through adding the backports [19:20] PeterBye: if it's the bosses machine you may want to ask him what your doing before trying to put network snooping software on [19:20] does xubuntu and fluxubuntu apply to this article? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [19:20] I prefer logging in as root as it saves me typing sudo all the time [19:20] And the line is, when logging on, say from gdm: 'Failed to add entry for user wiji' [19:20] wiijii: logging in as root is unsafe, do you get this when you log in as any user or only as root [19:20] No any user [19:20] ikonia, normally I would but he's being investigated and I need to do this c0v3rtly [19:20] And I know what I'm doing, don't worry [19:21] im a bit of a noob when it comes to web programming and web servers, im trying to set up a personal wiki -- ive installed php5 and apache 2 and set up appropriate folders, it then tells me to; in my browser, go to localhost/apache2-default/pmwiki/pmwiki.php and then i should get more instructions from that php file -- but firefox just tries to download it -- is that meant to happen? [19:21] is there a progress bar for rm? [19:21] wiijii: whoa.. don't log in as root.. don't don't don't [19:21] the committee asked me to m0n!tor his tr4ff!c [19:21] PeterBye: then this channel is not appropriate to gain help [19:21] Gabbsmo: id install xubuntu then install fluxbox, fluxbuntu seems to not be very supported in the community [19:21] PeterBye: contact IT professionals [19:21] ikonia, why ?? [19:21] eross, can you first confirm the version of Ubuntu you are using? [19:21] ikonia, that's so unfair of you - if I didn't tell you that you'd still help me! [19:21] Bodsda: looks like the apache server is not configured properly [19:21] erUSUL, are you here? i need an help for the ics [19:21] Regardless of root login, this is a weird problem [19:21] PeterBye: you have told me - so now I can't [19:21] wiijii: indeed [19:21] And now samba can't be configured, so I don't know what's going on [19:21] abbronzato2: ics? [19:21] ActionParsnip do I install fluxbox in the same way that is described in this article? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [19:21] tillux, hmmm, okay ty -- il go and do some more research [19:21] PeterBye: and to be honest I wouldn't have taken it ftuerh on your bosses machine as you don't see confident with what your doing [19:22] ikonia, you know what nevermind I'm actually doing this for a project now can you help me [19:22] for(i = 0; i<4; i++){ [19:22] for(k = 0;k<4;k++){ [19:22] if( ary[0] > ary[1] ){ [19:22] hold = ary[0]; [19:22] ary[0] = ary[1]; [19:22] russell__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:22] ary[1] = hold; [19:22] Bodsda: or there's a htaccess file corrupted [19:22] PeterBye: sorry no [19:22] do you get it when you log on from a terminal? hit ctrl + alt + f1 and login there (make sure you know how to get back!) [19:22] erUSUL, hello, yes internet connection sharing [19:22] ikonia, I have to m0n!t0r his tr4ff!c [19:22] Gabbsmo: sudo apt-get install fluxbox, logoff and change session type [19:22] Well I assume so as I get it with root. Hang on I'll check [19:22] i'm going crazy for try to configure it [19:22] Does anyone have Chromium working properly? [19:22] ikonia: it worked perfectly fine for me till i upgraded to 8.10 [19:22] russell__: looks liek a swapper... [19:22] !l33t | PeterBye [19:22] PeterBye: 1337 i5 n1gh-inc0mpr3h3n5ib13 70 u5 n00bs, 4nd n0b0dy c4r35 if UR 4 1337 h4x0r. Giv3 i7 4 r357. [19:22] PeterBye: sorry no, I request you take this to an IT professional [19:22] RickX, for linux? [19:22] Bodsda | have you tried e107? [19:22] Carnage: I can believe that [19:22] yep I do get it [19:22] arrrghhh: yes [19:22] didn't mean to do taht [19:22] wiijii: please put my name at the start of lines [19:22] After I have downloaded the 2.6.28rc4 kernel (patch?) from ZEN-SOURCES.ORG -> how do you install it? Thanks! :D [19:22] ikonia: any easy way to downgrade? [19:23] wiijii: check /etc/profile or /etc/profile.d/* [19:23] cw-brad, whats that? [19:23] RickX, i'd wait. the only way is with wine currently. i'd much rather a native implementation. [19:23] what am I looking for [19:23] wiijii: i'm not a ubuntu expert, nor GDM [19:23] I can't change confiogure ation, can't fire weapons... [19:23] tillux: yeah it is, pasted wrong clipboard [19:23] wiijii: well, 'rogue commands' [19:23] i can't be more specific i'm afraid [19:23] abbronzato2: what help do you need? [19:23] Carnage not really, if you can hang on till I get home as I'm on a train I can work with you a little better work this through [19:23] ikonia, that's very unfair of you and unethical [19:23] wiijii: i don't know what would cause your problem, but that's a file executed by most logins [19:23] abbronzato2: are you using firestarter or doing it manually? [19:23] I believe it's 8.04, I haven't upgraded it. I did go into software sources and check unsupported hardy backports, am updating stuff now [19:23] hmmm no nothing untoward in there I don't think [19:23] arrrghhh: Wine? Chromium is an Asteroids nockoff [19:23] PeterBye, your request is unethical [19:23] ikonia: well, thats kinda convenient; food is nearly ready here :p [19:23] eross, ok brilliant :D [19:23] erUSUL, firestarter but give me an eth0 error [19:24] a bunch of files are loading [19:24] (not connected) [19:24] PeterBye: it's not ethical to ask people to hepl you snoop your boss, there are legal companies [19:24] 204 :P [19:24] RickX, i thought you were talking about the chrome browser which has "chromium" beneath it for its engine (as i understand) [19:24] one moment, i'm writing the actual configuration [19:24] wiijii: it sounds like pam is doing it [19:24] The 'failed to add entry for user' comes from smbpasswd. Why on earth would that be running after logon? [19:24] ikonia / PeterBye: there are legal ramifications to snooping on people, you should take legal advice before doing so [19:24] RickX, http://playubuntu.com/linux-games-/1263.html [19:25] Winkie: exactly why I am not taking this further [19:25] wiijii: check your pam.d config files to see if samba added anything there and didn't remove it. [19:25] RickX, like that? [19:25] meuserj: okey [19:25] abbronzato2: what error? [19:25] eth0 not connected [19:25] there's a samba entry in pam.d [19:25] arrrghhh: thanks, I'll take a look [19:25] Any GPG experts? I need help figuring out subkeys. [19:25] wiijii: that'll do it [19:26] remove? [19:26] wiijii: when yuo uninstalled sambe did yu use --purge? [19:26] wiijii: you'd be looking at something like /etc/pam.d/login [19:26] no I didn't purge [19:26] Winkie, it's a lab experiment ther are no ram!fic4ti0ns [19:26] erUSUL, router (+ dns + gateway) 192.168.1.1 [19:26] pc ubuntu 8.10 (connected via ath0) so 192.168.1.40 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 [19:26] i'd like to share with eth0 [19:26] i have tryed to left it in dhcp , and in manual too (192.168.1.41 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1) [19:26] abbronzato2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:26] having /etc/pam.d/samba should be pretty common i think [19:26] and yeah there;s login too... [19:26] wiijii: sudo apt-get install samba; sudo apt-get --purge remove samba [19:26] PeterBye-> are you from this admin.morrisville.edu ? [19:26] PeterBye, drop the l33t speak it impresses no one [19:26] PeterBye: you've told us its to spy, and stop using leet speak please, I uggest you drop the topic [19:26] PeterBye: snooping on anyone without their permission can be very illegal, regardless of the situation [19:26] n8tuser, I have no idea what you are talking aboot [19:26] wiijii: no.. just dpkg -P samba [19:27] PeterBye: unless you specifically have written permission from the person you're intending to snoop on, don't do it [19:27] meuserj: nice [19:27] Winkie, it is a lab experiment and don't try and get the police involved on me [19:27] PeterBye-> you are from that school yeah? [19:27] erUSUL, is it possible to talk in private? sorry [19:27] PeterBye, is your name mike hunt? [19:27] PeterBye: experiment or not, you are going to need written permission [19:27] PeterBye: drop it please [19:27] dang [19:27] ompaul: my god thats older than me [19:27] hmmm dpkg -P didn't help. I'll try reinstalling and purging [19:27] abbronzato2: ok [19:27] thx [19:27] n8tuser, I'm unaware of any of the accusations you are making [19:28] PeterBye-> are you from this admin.morrisville.edu ..someone will inform the admin at that place [19:28] ompaul, I don't appreciate your ruse and please leave me alone [19:28] wiijii: if dpkg -P doesn't work, reinstalling and purging probably won't either... try commenting out any samba related lines in your pam.d files [19:28] PeterBye, please cease your conversation here your client identifies that name [19:28] I couldn't see any samba related stuff there [19:28] n8tuser, keep talking about things that have no relevance to me [19:28] i.e. in the pam.d/ files [19:29] arrrghhh: yes, that's the type of game I mena, now I just need to figure out what the keyboard isn't working properly. [19:29] PeterBye-> easy dig -x 136.204.170.20 [19:29] !ot [19:29] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [19:29] n8tuser, HOW DARE YOU [19:29] n8tuser, I HAVE A RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO GO AROUND SNOOPING INFORMATION ON PEOPLE [19:30] n8tuser: you're looking at the SOA [19:30] wiijii: err.. check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file too [19:30] lol [19:30] n8tuser: not the PTR [19:30] n8tuser: just fyi :) [19:30] Can we take the offtopic conversations elsewhere please. [19:30] nsswitch eh... alright [19:30] i want to change the text color in the panel how do i do that [19:30] what's the ZIP equivalent of "tar -cvf $(ARCHIVENAME).tar.gz $(ARCHIVENAME)"? [19:30] Winkie-> general vicinity :) [19:30] when i boot my system i see the black screen with the writing before i get to the login screen..why is it doin that [19:30] !panel text color [19:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:30] n8tuser: well admin. in that context means admin@, just wanted to make sure you knew that [19:31] nothing referencing samba in there [19:31] I can't apt-get install samba as it fails on dpk configuration [19:31] Well i just backed up my mail account with offline-imap and it works great. so if anyone else needs to backup their email i recommend it [19:31] Can tty display videos? [19:31] Winkie-> actually i forgot already, whats the diff between SOA and PTR ? [19:31] is there a way to make default 8.1 installtion run in textmode?; X seems to stay black after loading screen probably because of ATI driver issue [19:31] anybody [19:31] n8tuser: SOA is Source Of Authority, it identifies which server has the authorititive record for that address [19:31] wiijii: it REALLY sounds like pam... [19:31] I use Amarok and gtkpod to manage my iPod. In Amarok, I've fetched all the correct album covers from Amazon (am I right?). On my iPod, they're displayed wrong. It spreads around all the album covers and messes it up! It's reported as a bug on Launchpad, but there's no activity. For me, this is a very critical bug. What can I do? [19:31] a PTR record is the mapping from IP address to hostname [19:31] Does anyone know if there is a backport of the sierra module to hardy? I've just received 3 at&t laptop connect cards that I need to get working and it seems I need an updated module. [19:32] Winkie-> thank you, thats a good refresher [19:32] hmmm [19:32] sire: press esc when grub loads and choose failsafe, you can then drop to root console [19:32] n8tuser: what you're seeing is that the IP you queried is controlled by dns1.domain.com, and the admin contact for it is admin@domain.com [19:32] I'm not too hot on PAM issues tbh [19:32] !offtopic [19:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [19:32] n8tuser - how'd you get the ip [19:33] wiijii: I don't think anyone really understands pam... they just cut and paste from tutorials [19:33] ActionParsnip: thanks, but there is no grub, its a clean new install from boot cd [19:33] eross-> owning a crystal ball helps sometimes [19:33] wiijii: did you do anything with winbind? is it installed? [19:33] meuserj: sadly there's nothing about this problem on google, and I've never come across it before [19:33] possibly I messed around with winbind trying to set up samba [19:33] can anyone help [19:33] sire: no grub means your system would not boot anything [19:33] when i boot my system i see the black screen with the writing before i get to the login screen...why is it doin that [19:33] stalker72, maybe ask in the amarok channel [19:33] I use Amarok and gtkpod to manage my iPod. In Amarok, I've fetched all the correct album covers from Amazon (am I right?). On my iPod, they're displayed wrong. It spreads around all the album covers and messes it up! It's reported as a bug on Launchpad, but there's no activity. For me, this is a very critical bug. What can I do? [19:34] see if there is anything referencing winbind in /etc/pam.d/* or /etc/nsswitch.conf [19:34] cowbellemoo: What's the name? [19:34] <_Roman> I am using ubuntu server (hardy), it it possible to go through the server setup screens (the screens that appeared during installation, asking if I want a LAMP server etc)? [19:34] stalker72, #amarok [19:34] _Roman, you can skip them and install those packages later if you want them [19:34] Stalker72, #amarok [19:34] cowbellemoo and euxneks: thx [19:35] _Roman, stuff like php, apache, mysql - those can always be installed later [19:35] <_Roman> a34lkj2348dsf311: I want to know if I can go through the setup screens again [19:35] stalker72, for what it's worth, I have the same problem [19:35] a34lkj2348dsf311: you seem to know a lot about ubuntu now [19:35] _Roman: dpkg offers a lot of such stuff, but additional software you simply install with apt [19:35] a34lkj2348dsf311: you didn't know much as peterbye [19:35] ok [19:35] _Roman: use tasksel [19:35] meuserj: hmmm apparently not [19:35] STOP BIOLATING HIS PRIVACY [19:35] wiijii: also, see if you have libpam-smbpass installed. [19:35] ActionParsnip: ok, so how do i know, when grub is loading from the point that i started my pc and boot CS starts to run? [19:35] lol [19:35] ??? [19:35] !tasksel | _Roman [19:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about tasksel [19:36] yeah, I do [19:36] !info tasksel | _Roman [19:36] _roman: tasksel (source: tasksel): Tool for selecting tasks for installation on Debian systems.

Anyways, when I try to join #amarok, it says "Unknown host. Maybe you misspelled it?". [19:36] get rid? [19:36] ActionParsnip:typo CS->CD [19:36] you don't know as much as peterbye either :) [19:36] wiijii: yeah.. purge [19:36] Stalker72: sounds like you tried to connect to it rather than joining, try typing '/j #amarok' [19:36] Stalker72, it's the #amarok channel here on freenode IRC [19:36] Stalker72, I type "/join #amarok" and I'm in there [19:36] yay! [19:37] <_Roman> Is there a way to go through the network setup screens in ubuntu server (hardy) [19:37] sire:you'll see, press esc for grub menu onscreen [19:37] Thanks everyone, it worked! [19:37] cool [19:37] wiijii: awesome. [19:37] meuserj: that did the trick. The error has gone... now I just need to wait and see what else I've broken ;D [19:37] how do i start draw in openoffice? [19:37] meuserj: Thanks a *lot*, I would never have got that sorted out [19:37] wiijii: no problem [19:37] _Roman, I dunno - but I can help you configure any network settings you need for server edition [19:37] oh neat, i'd never seen libpam-smbpass before [19:37] that would have solved my problem about 3 years ago :p [19:37] I may well be back asking esoteric questions after I upgrade to 8.10 tonight... hehe [19:38] How did you find out about that btw? Or was it something you knew about already? [19:38] gnuskool: /usr/bin/oodraw [19:38] and be findable [19:38] woops [19:38] wiijii: did an apt cache search for samba and pam... figuring that there was probably a separate pam module package for samba [19:38] ActionParsnip: thx [19:39] meuserj: Good thinking, I'll remember that next time. I'm used to my nice and simple pacman manager with Arch linux... :D === d6chung_ is now known as d6chung [19:39] Many thanks [19:39] wiijii: no problem [19:39] Laters [19:40] ActionParsnip: any idea how i could ad it to the menu?

It was okay on Hardy, and I backed up my config, copying the relevant parts over when I upgraded (which are almost identical to those at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WacomTroubleshooting). wacom-tools is installed, and I installed the very newest wacom driver (8.1.6). what can I try? [19:42] winkie: i see the flash screen after [19:42] i think there is an easy solution [19:42] that i just need one more package [19:42] qwe [19:42] hello [19:42] Hi [19:42] ans me plz [19:42] ActionParsnip: ok, i searched for grub promt, but nothing, but i found F4->save graphincs mode, now i have graphical install screen, thx for your effords [19:43] i need to know that how can i chek the lamp ?

And how to diagnose [19:44] whats the difference Winkie, if i want to tune my gfx drivers will it recognize it if i modify the conf? [19:44] magentar: it will, the new xorg is designed to autoconfigure as much as possible without needing xorg.conf [19:44] Hi! I'm looking for an easy to use incremental backup solution for my desktop. Unfortunately, most of the programs I found are either quite complicated (rsnaphost) or dead (flyback, keep). What do you guys use for your backups? [19:44] you can still use it if required, i do [19:44] jedi06: sudo apt-get install treacerouet; traceroute 91.189.88.31 80 [19:44] lol, a34lkj2348dsf311 - a whois reveals it, duh!!! [19:44] piquadrat: I use rsync [19:44] piquadrat: i have a couple of TB rsnapshot install, works well [19:44] Winkie, good, does it use evdev per default? [19:45] piquadrat: rdiff-backup [19:45] magentar: i'm not 100% sure, but there is better support for multi-button mice, my mx revolution has all buttons by default [19:45] jedi06: that package doesn't seem to exist in that pocket. sudo apt-get update and try again. [19:45] ciao [19:45] piquadrat: use it with backupninja if you want a frontend [19:45] great, that's all i wanted to know, thx [19:45] eross, not sure what you're talking about but ok [19:45] I get crappy wireless speeds with the "Resticted Drivers" driver for my Broadcom wireless adapter (Dell Truemobile 1300). Any hints? [19:46] yea the pm you shot to me earlier about the ip [19:46] erki: what dell is it? [19:46] ActionParsnip: Inspiron 5150 [19:46] erki: what broadcom sorry [19:46] ActionParsnip: How do I check? [19:46] eross, I didn't shoot you any pm's...

[19:48] !broadcom [19:48] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [19:48] rdiff-backup and rsnapshot are nice for a server environment, sure, but isn't there something more like TimeMachine (modulo the useless eye candy) around? [19:48] histo, I have apt problems after upgrade-distor [19:48] erki: but id go with sfire [19:48] ActionParsnip: Ok, ty [19:48] jedi06: it updates your local listing of packages. [19:48] dist-upgrade that is... I figure I'm missing a repo... [19:48] piquadrat: simplebackup maybe [19:49] erki: it would be best to do this via PM .. there are a few steps [19:49] PriceChild, could that help me? [19:49] sfire: Ok, see you in private land :) [19:49] piquadrat: it's possible, but rsnapshot or similar are good solutions and almost negate the need for a gui :) [19:49] I knew clicking that tempting 'upgrade' button would end like this ;-) [19:50] facefaceface: what error messages are you getting? [19:50] facefaceface: what are you problems? [19:51] sudo apt-get install -f -> acpi-support: Depends: xset but it is not installable -> E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. [19:51] jordan123 [19:51] among others...

[19:51] Winkie, PriceChild, did you see that? [19:52] PriceChild> are u there [19:52] hi, is there any way to obtain the ip address of the person im talking to on amsn -- the person is on my LAN [19:52] Winkie, first "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" then -f install [19:52] faria_khan: what works? [19:52] hi ppl. lame-lazy question: Was network manager fixed? [19:52] sudo apt-get install -f [19:52] Bodsda, you'd have to initiate a direct connection [19:52] Winkie: OK, I'll look into rsnapshot [19:52] i just saw this msg on page === diamond is now known as skalogryz [19:53] a34lkj2348dsf311, whats the definition of a direct connection? [19:53] facefaceface: did you change your repositories to intrepid and then run it? i'm not entirely sure if that works as well with ubuntu (not a ubuntu expert i'm afraid) [19:53] http://pastebin.com/m7bb77003 [19:53] Bodsda: it runs through a central server so no, hower if you look on your proxy/router you'll see the users connecting on the msn ports [19:53] facefaceface: i believe the ubuntu way to do things is to run update-manager -c [19:53] Winkie, no I didn't do anything [19:53] PriceChild> well infact i need to know that what is the use of lamp server [19:53] Winkie, I'll try... [19:53] ikonia, what port does it use? [19:53] ikonia, if he establishes a direct connection it will show him the ip in netstat [19:54] 5900 for aim protocol [19:54] facefaceface: you didn't do anything? that's a little bit more worrying then [19:54] cheers [19:54] I use pidgin so I'm not 100% sure what amsn uses [19:54] a34lkj2348dsf311, so if i was to send them a file, then run netstat while it was sending, would that work? [19:54] anyone know why i can't seem to get write permissions when i mount a server via sftp using Connect To Server in gnome... connecting as www-data with using public key auth. and the folder has read/write access to the folder? [19:54] Winkie, not sure what I ran, but I didn't do anything special [19:54] Bodsda: i don't think you'll be able to negotiate that on a LAN i'm afraid [19:55] faria_khan: You've installed it, want to know if it works, but don' know what it does? [19:55] how do i install GRUB on the HD using the liveCD ? [19:55] Winkie, why? [19:55] Bodsda, yes - I just tested it w/ a friend and the IP correctly shows [19:55] i have a HDD of 120GiB, Partition 1 2GiB swap, Partition 2 25GiB ext3 (filesystem), and Partition 3 90GiB ext3 for storage. I'D like to install xp too, any clue guys? [19:55] Winkie, update-manager = Software index is broken [19:55] It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first [19:55] facefaceface: i don't know what would cause that, there's a number of broken packages there, have you checked your repositories to ensure they're correct / done an apt-get update? [19:55] a34lkj2348dsf311, thanks alot [19:55] !fixgrub | Dreamglider [19:55] Dreamglider: 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 [19:55] Bodsda, establish a direct connection or file transfer and run netstat -n [19:55] Thank you all, i just switched from windows xp... and I LOVE UBUNTU [19:55] I'll try synaptec [19:55] benacke: i believe internally you won't be able to resolve the connection, but you may as well give it a go! [19:56] Bodsda, use netstat -n and you'll have to grep for the port - not sure if it uses ftp [19:56] is it normal that a mouse takes up almost 50% CPU time just for being moved? [19:56] a34lkj2348dsf311, il pipe it to a file then i can go through it afterwords grepping [19:56] Bodsda, good idea [19:56] this would be on an 800 Mhz processor [19:56] Dominik, it depends on how powerful your hardware is [19:56] Dominik: it is not, what process is taking up the CPU time? it could also be your graphics driver [19:56] it could be* [19:57] facefaceface, it seems you have install a package that was brocken, you would need first to run sudo apt-get install -f to correct your package manager and then you could install/remove whatever you want [19:57] PriceChild> no [19:57]  Dominik:how big the harddrive of the mouse ? no, not normal (or a very small pc) [19:57] compengi, the -f still fails [19:57] !lamp | faria_khan [19:57] faria_khan: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[20:00] facefaceface, what package you've tried to install? [20:00] synaptec ... the following packges have unresolvable dependencies... x-core for example... tried distro-upgrade ;( [20:00] it seems to be /usr/x11r6/bin/Xx that takes up the cpu time when mouse is active [20:00] Putting xubuntu on a cash register - anyone know of any article's on accessing the printer/cash drawer/CC Card Swipe/UPC scanner [20:00] compengi, distro-upgrade [20:00] My repos are broke I guess [20:00] Dominik: sounds like you need to set the correct graphics driver [20:01] Winkie: I am using propriatery drive [20:01] Hello has anyone installed cdemu by source? [20:01] Dominik: open a terminal, run 'glxinfo', see what it says next to 'Direct Rendering:' [20:01] Winkie: and on they certainly work better then the open drivers [20:02] i have a package I'd like to install that wants libgnome-desktop-2 , i have libgnome-desktop-2-7 , how can I force it to understand this [20:02] good evening [20:02] Dominik: if the drivers are correctly installed and moving your mouse still makes X use that much CPU, i would google around, i'm afraid i couldn't help you at that point [20:02] Winkie: direct rendering: Yes [20:03] Winkie: they are PS2 mouse and keyboard running on a usb to PS2 adapter (so both keboard and mouse run off of same usb port) does that make a difference? [20:03] Dominik: yeah, the best solution would be to just google for other people experiencing this problem, what drivers are you using? [20:03] Dominik: it really shouldn't, i would expect a rendering issue first [20:03] cdemu compile by source -> make[3]: *** [cdemud-daemon.o] Error 1 ...any hint??? [20:03] i need help to install grub on a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 [20:03] Winkie: might a restart help? [20:04] daddyx: the actual error will be slightly higher up, but here's probably not the place to get help [20:04] Dominik: i can't imagine it would, but it can't hurt to try [20:04] when i boot the laptop i see only "active 0" nothing else [20:04] Dreamglider: a 'fresh' install of ubuntu 8.04 has a grub. Did you put /boot on a separate partition and haven't mounted it?

[20:06] daddyx: i really don't, i'd look for a channel specific to that software, but some sort of C programming channel would be my next bet [20:06] Dreamglider: I'm sorry but I can't remember which packages the files like you have mentioned live. [20:06] PriceChild: yep but why now apt-get installs recomended software by default? and how can i disable this behavior? [20:06] thanks for the help Winkie keep up [20:06] facefaceface, try sudo aptitude remove distro-upgrade [20:06] erUSUL: The ubuntu developers made the decision. Sorry but I'm not sure about that.

[20:28] krazeivan: Right now, I'm fine with the drivers I have. The only problem is that Wine won't run TF2. [20:28] krazeivan: 8.04. [20:28] nikki_, lol [20:28] hey i have recently installed maple and was unable to register it online at install (due to not having internet access) so i have to uninstall it now to reinstall, can i just delete the home/usr/maple12 folder or do i have to do something else?

New drivers cause artifacts. [20:31] nikki_, oh ok [20:31] krazeivan: In fact, I tried running TF2 with the new drivers despite artifacts (lol) and it seems it wouldn't run there either. [20:31] krazeivan: I think I'll just get a new graphics card. :P [20:31] krazeivan: It runs fine under Windoze though. [20:31] nikki_, I got the 8600 cheap [20:32] krazeivan: Bah, I'll get a whole new computer. I have AGP now, I need PCI-E, so I'll have to change loads of shit anyway.

It instead creates a single file on the windows machine that acts as a hard drive for the ubuntu install [20:38] alguien me ouede alludar porfa_+ [20:39] I have two mashines running Ubuntu: Mashine one is running Pidgin and HTop, but is using 358 ram...

[21:12] PriceChild: Grrr i'm stumped. [21:12] well then it must be something wrong in the router settings [21:13] hi- am having a brain fart here: if i ctrl-Z a process to put in background, how do I get it back to foreground?

[21:14] or does it have to DL all those packages [21:14] finalphase: I'm not totally sure... but that doesn't sound clever. [21:14] PriceChild: Which one should I use then, my lan IP or major IP, or localhost [21:14] matthew: you were talking about VNC ? were you having issues with it ? [21:15] no finalphase is I believe [21:15] finalphase: Get rid of them all. [21:15] i have 8.10 desktop, with a WUSB54GSC wireless adapter. i can view my wireless network, get prompted to enter the pw, but it never connects. is this an issue with ubuntu? or with my network/adapter [21:15] just here to help [21:15] matthew: oh ok [21:15] EJ you need anything ? [21:15] PriceChild: Its removed, how do I re-load the hosts file so that it refreshes my hosts? [21:15] finalphase: then try vnc'ing to localhost, if that works, try vnc'ing to 192.168.1.6, if that works, try 96.53.153.207, then if that works, creeperr.ath.cx [21:15] hi all [21:15] EJ if you wanna send me some ddr2 ram that would be cool [21:15] finalphase: no need [21:16] finalphase: each step will troubleshoot a different issue and help us find the real problem.

[21:16] ValentineXX: you created a ppa file?

Its working, but it was a pain to setup ;-) [21:18] ValentineXX: ^ [21:18] dominik have you tried envy ? [21:18] odeland, it depends on your requirements [21:18] sudo apt-get install envyng [21:18] !envyng [21:18] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [21:19] Dominik, do you get a driver suggested on the "hardware drivers" dialog ? [21:19] PriceChild: joaopinto thanks [21:19] matthew: evny broke my display [21:19] have you tried different drivers ? [21:20] odeland: for me, I had to though, because my budget was zero. samba is a mature project that works well as a windows server replacement, but it has no quality gui configuration, so you'll spend hours looking @ conf files [21:20] matthew: so 2 1gigs sticks of ddr2 and nvidia 9800 for 2 2gig sticks of ddr2 and 2 terabyte external hdds ... ?

[22:07] it doesnt show up in parted either [22:08] NET||abuse: and you'll find that its a german company with the patent on the mp3, and they charge a licence on the trademark and compliance checks [22:08] How can I automatically log in to TTY1?

LoL [22:46] mgolisch: thanks, i am just really cautious after I accidentally made my windows partition a swap space, i lost everything [22:47] meshach: I've been scouring the forums for an hour and nothing, I was just hoping someone here would have the latest info on that. The forum post relating to the issue seem to be stagnant and I figured posting a new topic that's a repeat would be a bad idea. [22:47] cwill747: it won't even open volume control [22:47] Frogging101 thats a better use for the partition anyhow [22:47] AlanBShepard70: May I recommend you create a new topic?

[22:54] hello [22:54] ikonia, is that the default for ubuntu or this kernel version?

There is no 8.10 documentation at this time [22:58] the fdi file wont work, but using xinput does [22:58] bigfuzzyjesus: the most common cause for suspend issues are the modules being unloaded/hung when the kernel resumes [22:58] mgolisch yeah maybe I'll do that, I don't know how to edit fstab, but I could find out later [22:58] I'm trying to create an extended partition so that i can run more than 4 primary partitions on my computer but the options for logical and extended partition are blanked out. what can i do? === GhOsT_KiLleR is now known as GhOsT1 [22:59] blizzardman1219: mostlikely you allready have 4 primary partitions [22:59] meshach: could it be that the help files that come w/ubuntu are out of date as well?

Version 1.9-20 (intrepid), package size 345 kB, installed size 892 kB === steve{ is now known as nyotek [23:11] I mean hello world basic [23:11] jimmio: the third option would be making the terminals use a framebuffer, which is a bit complicated [23:11] svn co https://svn.openx.org/openx/tags/2.6/openx-2.6.3/ openx/; svn: warning: 'openx' is already under version control ;; what do i do now? [23:11] McBanhammer: #c++, but it's not specific to Ubuntu, it's generic to C++ [23:12] @.@ [23:13] kansan: what is in openx/ currently? [23:13] im having problems with a ubuntu 8.04 (and 7.10) install, when i boot it seems that grub is not installed [23:13] LjL, everything i checked out with that co command [23:14] at bootup i get Loading PBR 3...Done and/or 0 active and it just stops there [23:14] kansan: and so what is it that you want to do now? (not checkout, since you already have it checked out) [23:14] LjL, commit the direcotry above it [23:14] kansan: commit is "ci", not "co" [23:15] LjL, meaning i have; /trunk; and /trunk/openx; and everything under openx which is cod [23:15] LjL, i know [23:15] LjL, i need to svn add the openx directory first === Guest73064 is now known as Sinister [23:15] hello! can anybody help me with network manager? i have problems connecting to our universities vpn and i don't know what to type into some textfields [23:15] So I have a python script.. How do I run it in the menu? [23:15] hi all, i came in here yesterday with a problem on ubuntu 8.04 and intel 3945... the card is recognized but it can't find any wifi networks... someone posted a solution string for me which works but it loses effect after restart... i don't have logs so i've lost the string. it was something involving 2 commands, one was rmmod iwl3945 and the other was something involving modprobe and disable hardware scan but i can't remember the exact syntax... does [23:15] anyone know this second command ? thanks [23:15] hi, how can i find out if i have the right driver for my video card === Sinister is now known as Guest30934 [23:16] kansan: sorry, not following you... i thought your problem was the warning. but i think the warning is natural, if you have the stuff checked out already in that directory [23:17] kansan: perhaps better ask on #svn anyway [23:17] is there a way to go from 32bit to 64bit ubuntu without reinstall from the cd? [23:17] LjL, i want to use svn externals to allow me to have a project, but check out a different project, then commit my project again [23:17] LjL, does that make sense? no one in #svn is answering [23:18] Hey [23:18] kansan: starts to make a bit of sense, but i'm afraid i'm not familiar enough with svn to help with that [23:18] ok, I've updated to Ubuntu 8.10, it shows that my Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards have support, but I can't make them work, any thoughts? [23:18] Does anyone know how I can run an executable text file? [23:18] wolfjb: no [23:18] meshach: ./filename [23:18] LjL: bummer, thanks [23:18] LjL: Where do I put the ./filename?

I have dl the new wine what to do? [23:19] matthias: "top" [23:19] matthias: go to System>Administration>System Monitor [23:20] Hello all, I want some help in configuring fstab for USB external harddrive (fat32 and NTFS partitions), all I need is making it NOT TO mount at startup [23:20] !wine | mikethk, get it from the winehq repos [23:20] mikethk, get it from the winehq repos: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help === Guest30934 is now known as Sinister [23:20] meshach, if you want gui way , permissions tab , Allow executing file as program [23:20] I need help getting my Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN card to work on Ubuntu 8.10 [23:20] sensiva: "noauto" option [23:20] emillien: I did that [23:21] What torrent-clients do you guys recomend? [23:21] meshach: i did and the only processor name that is using cpu at all is gnome-system-monitor but the cpu usage is close to 80 % on both cpu:s dual core [23:21] McBanhammer check out http://linuxcommand.org/wss0010.php === Sinister is now known as Guest88565 [23:21] YlandeFaran: deluge [23:21] LjL, When I add this option I receive and error "You are not privileged to mount this volume." [23:21] YlandeFaran: I honestly just like what's built into the Opera Browser [23:21] I already have the newest version of wine on my computer.... but not installed. what to do? [23:21] YlandeFaran, deluge =) [23:21] matthias: I don't know what to tell you perhaps someone more knowledgeable in Ubuntu can. [23:21] how do i list all of the user accounts from the terminal [23:21] sensiva: that's normal, only the root user can mount (i.e. you need to do "sudo mount ..."), unless you also specify the "user" option. [23:21] okey thank you [23:21] mikethk: sudo apt-get install wine [23:21] I need help getting my Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN card to work on Ubuntu 8.10 [23:22] can anybody help me with setting up a vpn using networkmanager? i am a bit confused as to what to type into some of the textfields [23:22] sensiva: so, "user,noauto" [23:22] hey baatti [23:22] DetroitLibertyPe, and it dossent matter where wine is extrated? [23:22] hi cw-brad [23:22] madwifi has drivers for atheros [23:22] Baatti→ welcome, please tell everyone what you have done to try to resolve the problem [23:22] anybody knows how to figure out what process or program that is stealing cpu poer the cpu power is close to 80 % at all time [23:23] matthias: top [23:23] hi, ubuntu mounts my usb hd with root permissions only, how can i make it mount with permissions for me, like it does with my ipod and thumbdrive? [23:23] Baatti: what manufature of the wireless do you have ... [23:23] cw-brad well.... at first I tried on the forums and tried a few different things... 1. downloaded what I thought were the drivers, and followed some commands in my terminal....still didn't work.... [23:23] matthias: pastebin the output of "ps aux" [23:23] matthias um... it's a Toshiba system.. Atheros AR5007EG I believe [23:23] knittl: yes but the gnome system monitor is the only thing except xorg for root [23:23] Baatti→ did you run the "hardware driver manager"? [23:23] !atheros | Baatti [23:23] then someone suggested I update to 8.10 from 8.04.... that helped a bit [23:23] Baatti: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:24] Baatti: do lspci and look for wireless ... [23:24] it more or less a madwifi driver [23:24] magnetron no, I'll try that, but not quite sure how [23:24] There is a program for Windows, called MyTV. You can watch Greek TV Channels through it, without having a TV card connected to your PC. Is there anything similar for Linux? [23:24] matthias: you can also try htop, its a bit prettier than top, type 'sudo apt-get install htop' in a terminal then type 'htop' after its installed [23:24] Baatti: hold on let me try 1Öst [23:24] Or, for Ubuntu, more specifically? [23:24] matthias→ why do you think your CPU is used 80%? maybe it's just running at 80% of max speed at the moment. [23:24] Does anyone know what the shortcut is for opening up the System Monitor? [23:24] LjL, user,noauto I get this error "Unprivileged users cannot mount NTFS block devices using external fuse ..... etc" [23:25] amikrop, it's quite likely that it simply uses some MPEG streams from the net, so you'd need to know what those streams are, and then use any video player to play them [23:25] Baatti: see my blog http://travis.blogsite.org/node/16 this may help you with your problem [23:25] hi, ubuntu mounts my usb hd with root permissions only, how can i make it mount with permissions for me, like it does with my ipod and thumbdrive? === Guest88565 is now known as Sinister [23:25] thanks sfire [23:25] magnetron: the cpu usage history shows 80% and all the things in my computer runns slower than normal ... [23:26] LjL: I see. How could I search for MPEG streams from the net? [23:26] Baatti: any questions PM me... I don't always pay attention to this channel.. I'll help you though === Sinister is now known as Guest24714 [23:26] hello all [23:26] amikrop: depends... is that MyTV program freely available? [23:26] matthias→ what CPU usage history?

[23:28] mgolisch: alright thanks. === finalphase__ is now known as finalphase [23:28] sensiva: well i'm unsure. perhaps it's a matter of adding yourself to the "fuse" group [23:28] sensiva: when mine was ntfs it mounted with permissions for me [23:29] Hey guys [23:29] mgolisch: well my last question is i just installed LAMP server and tried http://localhost the msg appears saying "It Works" that mean my LAMP server Installed fine?

[23:52] ! it | tuxtony [23:52] tuxtony: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [23:52] !atheros [23:52] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:52] scunizi, fryguy, I found nothing related to HT there. Maybe the motherboard does not support it? [23:52] Meshach, you can sudo gedit to create a script and then save it where you want. [23:52] please help [23:52] Schuenemann, how many Ram slots does the motherboard have? [23:52] scunizi, 2 [23:53] SchneeSchwarz, then you probably don't have HT.. typically HT systems have 4 === miguel is now known as Guest94796 [23:53] Schuenemann, sorry.. addressed the response to you to SchneeSchwarz by mistake. [23:53] how can someone sell me a motherboard that doesn't suit my HW accordingly? [23:53] hey all is there any program like retouch for ubuntu if i want to fix good pictures [23:54] When i set networking up in the gnome networking thing the settings dont stick around. what should i do to set up networking correctly [23:54] svn co https://svn.openx.org/openx/tags/2.6/openx-2.6.3/ . ; ~/workspace/emptyspace/vendor: svn propset svn:externals openx https://svn.openx.org/openx/tags/2.6/openx-2.6.3/ ; svn: Setting property on non-local target 'https://svn.openx.org/openx/tags/2.6/openx-2.6.3' needs a base revision .... i'm at my wits end. what do i do now? [23:54] Schuenemann, how do you mean.. ? Is there other hardware that isn't working? [23:54] storrgie: one solution is to just configure /etc/network (notably /etc/network/interfaces) to what you desire [23:54] fryguy: yea but when i do that it doesnt seem to take effect [23:55] scunizi, nope. But the moron who sold me this mobo should know HT wouldn't be used, which means a waste of processor [23:55] Schuenemann: so then go complain to your cpu retailer. You aren't losing much performance anyway [23:56] Can someone suggest a program that I can run to monitor internet traffic of all hosts on my lan? bandwidth and connected sites at least. [23:56] fryguy: any info on setting the mysql password ? [23:56] fryguy: when i set up networking with gnome utils it doesnt seem to change my /etc/networking/interfaces files at all.... [23:56] fryguy: i have done all this b4 it's just been awhile [23:56] EJ: setting what mysql password [23:56] storrgie: ubuntu uses Network Manager [23:56] storrgie: no it doesn't [23:56] hi how do i know how the computer feels, i mean like an diagnostics of some kind, because my computer consumes a lots of cpu power and the only thing consuming power is the system-monitor and xorg [23:56] fryguy: i run mysql_setpermission and it wants a password [23:57] fryguy, I saw a benchmark that says I'm losing: http://www.linuxelectrons.com/features/howto/intel-hyper-threading-linux-fact-or-myth [23:57] anyone know how to get ath5k install in Intrepid? [23:57] EJ: why are you askin gme? [23:57] erUSUL: yea i mean network manager... I Really want to set networking up to be a VERY particular way... but i cant get it working [23:57] Schuenemann: see the first part of my original statement [23:57] fryguy: you had the answer to my last question .... just thought you may be the guy to ask .... sry i wont bother you [23:57] EJ: I hardly know anything, i'm certainly not the person to direct questions to [23:58] hey, does anyone know if they've managed to hack the changes Apple made to the iTunes 7 DAAP? So that other applications can read music from the share? [23:58] fryguy: ok [23:58] fryguy: i think i found it anyways [23:58] i just did an upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04 and there was some error along the way that kept my kernel at 2.6.24-21... what would be the best way to get up to 2.6.27? [23:59] so how can i force set up my networking, it seems like network manager might fight whatever i setup in /etc/network/interfaces.... is there a best way to do this? [23:59] Hey I have a weird video problem but it's kind of hard to describe - when I play videos in VLC or another player I get like a refresh line descending down the screen. Any ideas?
