[00:00] guilhermee, ok, that looks bad [00:00] help why is ubuntu slow on my compaq presario 2170US. i know its the graphics card, it uses ATI radeon 340m (i think). but the system is running choppy i had the same problem when i had ubuntu 7.10 on it, didnt bother to fix it and moved on to pclinuxos (which is still choppy but less). ANY one can help me with this? I LOVE UBUNTU, but i need it to work right [00:00] Peter_G: you can only do that if you have a high resolution and you want to make something seem smaller, but not have it stretched [00:00] jrib thks for your help. [00:00] david__: *who* wants you to update? [00:00] joaopinto, and ubuntu umount my pendrive [00:00] Macros42: :/ really do not know what to do. Ask again to the channel [00:00] Peter_G, ages ago you could have a 'large' screen and with a smaller monitor/display you would 'pan around' the large screen as you moused around.. but that feature is not used much any more.. its a bit of a bother with how window managers.panels and apps work these days [00:00] hey there guys - having a little problem here - trying a fresh install of intrepid and after I set up my softraid I get a msg "Please insert the disk labeled: 'Ubuntu 8.10 ...." in drive /cdrom/ ... Media change [00:00] can someone tell me how i can look at my processor speed and various other specs on xubuntu? [00:00] joaopinto, and currupts the partition... [00:00] joaopinto, in windows it works good [00:00] nathan_: sudo lshw | less [00:00] joaopinto, its not a pendrive bug, but ubuntu [00:01] jordanv and Dr. Willis: Ah, okay. I misunderstood him, then. Thank you. (For scrolling the screen, I know what you mean. I ran into that on my old 400Mhz laptop running Win98. [00:01] joaopinto, how can i get a better log ? [00:01] jrib when I go into my hotmail account I have these problems. Hotmail tells me I need to download the latest version of Mozilla Firefox or I cant continue [00:01] thank you [00:01] can someone help me get pidgin or kopete to work with msn? im getting for both that connection is refused when conecting to msn server, not sure why though, any ideas? [00:01] Peter_G, there was such a feature, it was virtual resolution, not sure it's currently supported [00:02] Peter_G, You can also have several 'desktops' you can move around with the pager applet. or other ways.. thats a bit handier these days. [00:02] I just installed kubuntu-desktop via aptitude and didn't like it so I came back to Gnome to uninstall but when I did "sudo aptitude purge kubuntu-desktop" it just removes that packate, but not all of kde. Anyone know what I should do? [00:02] should one use all primary partitions and then switch to logical or reserve some primary's? [00:02] david__: you can press a link that let you continue to the main screen. Some people has reported that composing new msgs does not work [00:02] Macros42: is it trying to install software when you get that message [00:02] !puregnome | mker [00:02] to explainmore - disk is in drive - it's running the install from it - then asks me to reinsert the disk which is still there - can anyone help? [00:02] mker: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [00:02] is it wise to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 seeing that 8.04 lts is a long term support release [00:02] ugarit, i tend to use all primaries.. I rarely need more then 4 partitions. [00:02] If I can ask one more question, it's about YouTube videos. When I go to the site and click on a video, it says my Flash player is not up to date and I don't have java enabled. I updated Flash. How do I enable Java? [00:02] Good evening, can ubuntu safely shrink NTFS partitions? [00:02] Peter_G: you on 64bit? [00:03] Peter_G: its javascript, not java [00:03] during install? [00:03] jrib my Windows Live Hotmail always says .... Put your webbrowser up to date [00:03] david__: that's because whoever wrote hotmail is stupid. I think other users have said it will work fine if you get the "useragent switcher" extension and change your browser to pretend it is running on windows instead of ubuntu [00:03] MikeH: yes [00:03] MikeH gparted can [00:03] joaopinto: Thank you. [00:03] No, it's a 32bit VIA CPU. [00:03] !notes > Ganandorf [00:03] Peter_G: did you nistal flash? [00:03] Ganandorf, please see my private message [00:03] MikeH: it does in many machines during install [00:03] Peter_G, install the nonfree flash package [00:03] Yes, I literally just updated to the most recent one for Linux. [00:03] Peter_G: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [00:03] Also, can someone tell me what the read/write performance is like on ntfs now? [00:03] jrib I am inclined to think they want us to use Windows, but I don't want to [00:04] Last time I tried it, write support was experimental, reading was slow [00:04] MikeH: I've been able to play videos off my NTFS partitions without slowdown [00:04] someone here with a hp pavillon dv5 series ??? [00:04] MikeH, ntfs-3g works very well for me. [00:04] Peter_G: if you're on firefox goto Edit>Preferences>Content [00:04] I continue by telling Mozilla to continue, but then my hotmail account is blocking and I cant write any messages [00:04] make sure they are checked off [00:04] MikeH, not done any benchmarks.. but ive never had sny speed issues. [00:04] MikeH, good enough, the current driver is not related to the legacy driver [00:04] jrib my last message was for you [00:04] david__: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 [00:04] does anyone use utorrent in ubuntu? [00:04] That's great, thanks for your help guys [00:04] I'm trying to remove my PATA drives but the Feisty install won't boot after removing those drives. I see that /boot/grub/device.map has "(hd0) /dev/hda" ... with /dev/sda on hd2. Do I need to regenerate device.map? Or is there some other problem? [00:04] can someone help me get pidgin or kopete to work with msn? im getting for both that connection is refused when conecting to msn server, not sure why though, any ideas? [00:04] treats: I used it before [00:04] Okay. I'll do that right now. Besides, I'm rather enjoying my Ubuntu experience. It literally saved this netbook from the scrapheap. [00:05] jrib I think I have this installed... I will try again, but do I have to click on an special addon?? [00:05] hubar_hubuntu, did you have any errors when running through wine? (i assume you use wine) [00:05] billy_, working fine here, it must be a msn problem, or a conectivity issue on your side [00:05] treats: no since i discovered deluge but it works fine in wine if that's what you ask [00:05] david__: you have to set it so that it identifies your browser as running on windows (I think) [00:05] joaopinto, i figured its a connetivity issue, but does anyone know any possible causes? its a fresh install of ubuntu [00:05] billy_: my MSN is working fine on Pigin [00:06] billy_, can you reach other services ? [00:06] treats: no I use transmission (ubuntu client), do apt-get install transmission. [00:06] joaopinto, i can reach this, (not via either kopete or pidgin but i shall try irc with pidgin now) [00:06] ok, now how do I update the fglrx drivers? [00:07] jrib hi again. I installed the agent user addon. Do I need to do anything else or does this do everything automatically from now onwards [00:07] seriously guys - I'm a gnats cock away from going back to Windows - I'm reinstalling cos an upgrade went completely pear-shaped. And now - half way through an install it's asking me for the disk that it started the install from! [00:07] joaopinto, [00:07] joaopinto, connected to irc fine [00:07] billy_, it can be something with your ISP [00:08] I am having trouble with the liveCD can someone help me - When I start the computer with the live cd, the splash screen appears, but the GUI never appears and i am left at a safe graphics mode with only a termanal [00:08] someone here with a hp pavillon serie dv5 ??? [00:08] joaopinto, msn works fine on vista [00:08] billy_, ah ok :| [00:08] how do i search my root for files? [00:08] billy_, do you configured any firewall rules ? [00:08] lugnut64: you may have a corrupted disk [00:08] joaopinto, anything that could possibly be blockng it? [00:08] try burning slower [00:08] david__: you have to set it so that it identifies your browser as running on windows. That may not be on by default. Check its settings [00:08] scientes, find / -name "filename" [00:08] does anyone know how i can access theme-manager? i'm super new to Ubuntu. [00:08] im looking fore 32-bit libflashplayer.so [00:08] Macros42: did you check the cd for errors? [00:08] no, it worked in a virtural machine [00:08] scientes: why? [00:08] What tool can I use to see the MAC address of all wireless networks around me? [00:08] joaopinto, im a noob to ubuntu, so I don't know about firewall rules. pretty sure i havent touched them [00:09] scientes, downlowad the flash installer from adobe's site [00:09] billy_, ok :\ [00:09] i did but its 32-bit [00:09] billy_, I am out of suggetions [00:09] Anonymous02: "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" [00:09] and the plugin for ubuntu firefox is ndis [00:09] i checked the cd for errors, no problems [00:09] how can I update fglrx to 8.10? [00:09] dam, thanks joaopinto [00:09] and im using mozilla firefox (32-bit) [00:09] danbhfive: yes - disk is fine - used it to install on my laptop [00:09] scientes: you aren't making sense [00:09] jrib, he just grabbed a 32bits firefox from mozilla [00:10] scientes: do you mean the 64bit [00:10] im using the one from their site which is 32-bit [00:10] scientes: umm you aren't making sense like jrib said since you say your on 32-bit [00:10] on a 64-bit system [00:10] in a man page, does = need to be \= ? [00:10] erUSUL, it spits back wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning. [00:10] how can i permanently add a route? [00:10] scientes: well Adobe doesn't have a 64-bit out yet [00:10] scientes: try to keep responses on a single line. What exactly is your issue? [00:10] and the ndispluginwrapper is to use on 64-bit apps, i need to regular 32-bit which is somewhere in my computer i just dont know ehere [00:11] Anonymous02: is wlan0 your wifi card? maybe you have to do "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" first [00:11] Ok [00:11] jordanv: the disk worked for a virtual machine and i checked the cd for defects, there are no problems on the cd [00:11] scientes, why do you need firefox 32 bits, what was wrong with your regular firefox ? [00:11] scientes: try nspluginwrapper -a -i -u [00:11] it crashes all the time [00:11] can someone help me get nvidia 177 drivers to work? [00:11] lugnut64: try alternative? [00:11] scientes: ndispluginwrapper it is only for using windows network drivers in linux [00:11] scientes: so just grab the tar.gz from adobe's site [00:11] gravemind: whats the problem? [00:11] erUSUL, hmm, oddly, it says I dont have a wlan0 device :??? [00:11] can I get fglrx 8.9 or 8.10 from a repository? [00:12] Although I do? [00:12] I have a wireless card... [00:12] oh npwrapper [00:12] scientes: though really on intrepid, nspluginwrapper is a lot better. My browser has not crashed once [00:12] scientes: and doing "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" on a 64 bit system sets up everything for you [00:12] erUSUL, eth1 worked [00:12] mine on intrepid crashes every 30 minutes [00:12] erUSUL, thanks for the help [00:12] scientes: it is automagical flash just works in firefox 64 bits [00:12] Anonymous02: no problem === LjL changed the topic of #ubuntu to: Official Ubuntu Support Channel Be patient and read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | Support options: http://www.ubuntu.com/support | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC | Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu.com | Install Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [00:12] but the flsh doewsnt work on my 32-bit firefox [00:12] jordanv: i am worried that when installing the alternate cd would have the same problem. i have a gforce 7000m nforce 610 graphics card and gpu [00:13] so i need to library, but not wraped for 64-bit [00:13] POLL , how many people have used the DAS keyboard? [00:13] scientes: whay are you using a 32 bit firefox in a 64 bit machine to begin with ???? [00:13] scientes, get it form adobe's, run the installer, and specify the 32 bits install path [00:13] lugnut64: try it and see how it goes [00:13] thatguyisjames: no polls here please, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:13] scientes: same as 64bits, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [00:13] anyone know how to set it so my dual screen acts as two screens instead of maximizing windows across both? [00:13] how do i make it instal even on 64-bit though? [00:13] it aborts [00:13] erUSUL, scroll up, "crashes every 30 minutes" :P [00:13] danbhfive: I'm using the nv drivers right now, which doesn't have 3d acceleration. But when I try to install the binary drivers with the hardware drivers manager, it downloads the driver but doesn't install it. Then when I restart X I get the failsafe windows popping up, with X errors saying (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [00:13] oh ok its right here [00:13] scientes: you just copy the .so to the right directory [00:14] will do, thanks for the channel link. there needs to be a better repitory for the IRC channels' [00:14] eah thats what im doing [00:14] can someone tell me what the max amount of installable memory that Xubuntu and Ubuntu can address??? (for both 32 and 64 bit please) [00:14] hey, i'm having some major issues with firefox. i lost my profiles, and firefox wouldn't save any changes made (homepage, toolbars, etc) so i deleted the default profile thinking it would automatically create a new one. now, after purging and reinstalling firefox, i still get the error saying that an instance of firefox is running and i must close it before opening it, but killall firefox shows no processes killed. any help? [00:14] jordanv: i will, just one problem, i wanted to test it out without installing because i am worried about screwing up my *sigh* vista partion and i don't have an installation disk [00:14] joaopinto: XD thanks works for me here... and when it crashes (not so often) it does not take firefox down with it. so i consider nspluginwrapper a bless and not a curse XXDD [00:14] nathan_: its the same for any 32bit 64bit system [00:15] I have been trying for quite some time now to get alsa/pulse audio working on my computer, alsa worked before 8.10 but now I am stuck with oss. I have followed all the tutorials etc with no luck. So I have cleaned out my installation and am wondering if anyone can walk me trhough debugging this [00:15] nathan_: 32bit == 4Gb [00:15] gravemind: maybe 177 doesnt work with your card [00:15] thatguyisjames: see the IRC address you get when you type /topic, there is a full list of channels there [00:15] erUSUL, it works fine for me also :P [00:15] so thats for xubuntu and ubuntu [00:15] ?? [00:15] can anyone tell me how to access the theme manager? i can't find anything when i searched google. [00:15] danbhfive: it is supposed to (geforce 7600gs) and I've tried enabling the other numbered drivers but the same thing happens with those [00:15] ActionParsnip, actually 32bits does not allow 4GB addressing, not for a single process [00:15] lugnut64: if you REALLY want to try it and the livecd doesnt work, you can make a small partition using vista's partitioner [00:15] k1ll3r: systemPreferences>appearance [00:15] k1ll3r: systema - preferences - appearance [00:16] thank you [00:16] anyone know how to split my screens in dual screen instead of treating them as one giant display? [00:16] joaopinto: no system that would use such ram is comprised or a single process [00:16] can someone tell me what the max amount of installable memory that Xubuntu and Ubuntu can address??? (for both 32 and 64 bit please) [00:16] nathan_: the amount of allocable RAM dos not depends on the desktop [00:16] ActionParsnip, but, that's still a fact, 32 bits < 4GB ;) [00:16] nathan_: http://talk.bmc.com/blogs/blog-carl/steve-carl/Kernel-trivia/talkback/1176672042/view [00:16] nathan_: for 32 bits it will be less than 4GB depending on bios conf and devices used [00:17] ok and that is for both OS they both hold the same ammount?????? [00:17] i have a problem trying to access my server via ssh and vnc. I can not seem to get the resolution high because it was rebooted with out a monitor. Any ideas? [00:17] joaopinto: 2^32 = 4 294 967 296 [00:17] jordanv: i know that, the windows boot loader (on my now broken desktop) never picked up on the ubuntu, and i would actually like to keep the windows bootloader. [00:17] nathan_: yes [00:17] nathan_: for 64 bit the limit is on the motherboard probably and not in linux [00:17] ok thanks [00:17] :) [00:17] erUSUL: read the link i pasted ;) [00:17] ok will do [00:17] 640x480 is what its running at now.. with one lower res option. these both are useless to me [00:17] lugnut64: google Wubi [00:17] jordanv: oh, and wubi never worked [00:17] !sound [00:17] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:18] anyone? [00:18] lugnut64: install it in the virtual machine? [00:18] jordanv: the windows bootloader never picked it up [00:18] is everyone ignoring me? [00:18] !pulseaudio [00:18] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [00:18] why isn't there a view hardware devices screen in the administration menu? [00:18] jordanv: i did (to test it out) [00:18] anonident: try sysinfo [00:18] jordanv: you can help someone else for now, i can wait [00:18] maszlo: http://forums.teamphoenixrising.net/showthread.php?t=32325 [00:19] ActionParsnip: thanks will take a look [00:19] nathan_: 64bit can access more [00:19] ok [00:19] hello all. I need someone who can patiently help me through an lvm problem in a step by step way. I need to mount an LVM made up of two disks. I can see it with vgdisplay. But I need to understand the steps to activate the groups and then the lvm. vgchange -ay is telling me there are no logical volumes in the volume group I have. [00:19] im checking out some websites [00:19] jordanv: i am downloading the alternate install disk [00:19] but i was just curious [00:19] cause i was looking at my specs [00:19] nathan_: anything more than 3gb, id hit 64bit [00:19] can someone help me enable the binary nvidia driver [00:19] anyone know how to spit the view on dual monitor support so it treats the monitors as individuals instead of one unit? [00:19] and trying to make sense of that command that i typed in the termial [00:19] chaqui1: in a estable ubuntu release there are not software upgrades so if you want newer fglrx version you will have to use envyng and take the risk [00:20] !envyng | chaqui1 [00:20] chaqui1: 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 [00:20] Anybody in here who's worked on the release of 8.10 or any other edition of Ubuntu? [00:20] it said the size:384mb ram and then it sais below that Capacity:1565mb.. what does that have to do with anything?? [00:20] GodfatherofEire, what information are you looking for ? [00:20] why is Eire pronounced "air?" [00:21] Gravemind, Its Irish Gaelic [00:21] ooh, cool [00:21] And joaopinto, the reason is I think I've found a partial solution for this issue with usplash in 8.10 [00:22] can someone help me manually enable the nvidia drivers? Hardware drivers manager failed [00:22] gravemind: [00:22] gravemind: which nvidia card? [00:22] 7600gs [00:22] GodfatherofEire, launchpad.net , report the bug and fix :) [00:22] worked in hardy [00:22] joaopinto: I've managed to get it to start up with an alternate without the text based boot, but its displaying what should be displaying, just without the graphics layer, i.e. the pngs, etc. [00:22] it said the size:384mb ram and then it sais below that Capacity:1565mb.. what does that have to do with anything?? [00:23] gravemind: i had the same problem , do sudo apt-get update, install updates, restart try again [00:23] Joaopinto, its not quite a fix [00:23] gravemind: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [00:23] gravemind: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 [00:23] jordanv: I actually just did that [00:23] first one for hardy, second one for intrepid [00:23] fosco_: alright, here goes [00:23] GodfatherofEire, if you are working on a problem, it should be tracked on launchpad, it will help communicating with the developers [00:23] the size isthe actualy ammount of ram i do have... but im wondering what capacity means??? [00:24] ActionParsnip: seems like alot of work around for getting a higher resolution. was hoping to find a place where my 640x480 / 320x240 settings are at and over write it. Monitor died on me last week. waiting till black friday for a replacement [00:24] ok my onboard sound is detected by ubuntu, it shows up under lspci and it is listed as a card supported by alsa but I can't get it to work, can anyone help? [00:24] fosco_: nvidia-glx-177 is already the newest version. (but it still doesn't work) [00:24] nathan_: its how much space you have to execute applications and the operating system [00:24] gravemind: backup your xorg.conf file and run sudo nvidia-xconfig [00:24] hi all , kdenlive 0.7 on 8.10-amd64 dont compile, is there someone with the same probleme ? [00:24] hi there [00:25] where can I find the commnad 'shadow'? [00:25] Ok, but any ideas on the next step joaopinto, cause I'm not exactly experienced with ubuntu, this was just me messing around with it a little, I found this partial fix by accident and I dont want to irreversibly remove any progress I've had so far. [00:25] anyone want to help me with a pinnacle hdtv PCTV HD usb Stick? dmesg shows its detected. totem says I need a conf file and when I scan for channels I get nothing. thanks in advance. [00:25] fosco_: thanks [00:25] Hi, I have a question about converting video to play on a handheld digital camcorder [00:25] ok? [00:25] GodfatherofEire, you can also try #ubuntu-devel (where you will find some of the ubuntu developers) or #ubuntu-bugs, since you are working on a bug [00:25] Thanks. [00:25] !ask | Leggazoid [00:25] Leggazoid: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:25] fosco_: here goes, restarting X [00:26] Paddy_EIRE: do you know where can I find the 'shadow' command? (need to unshadow /etc/passwd). [00:26] i have pentium 2.53 and 1Gb ram, and 8.10,and it works very slow [00:26] can someone help me is there a sollution for this? [00:26] arthurmaciel: "man shadow" [00:27] !info shadow [00:27] Package shadow does not exist in intrepid [00:27] !shadow [00:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about shadow [00:27] hmm === user1 is now known as Nai [00:27] zrak: try using top to see whats slowing you down [00:28] well nothing really [00:28] zrak: whats going slow then? [00:28] arthurmaciel: what is the command used for? [00:28] i really don't know, i had 7.04 before and i had the same issue [00:28] helo ^^ [00:28] i had to wait like 5 seconds to open a firefox [00:28] anyone want to help me with a pinnacle hdtv PCTV HD usb Stick? dmesg shows its detected. totem says I need a conf file and when I scan for channels I get nothing. thanks in advance. [00:29] zrak: try a lighter desktop, such as openbox or xfce [00:29] yes but with 1GB ram it should be prolem [00:29] problem [00:29] I'm sorry but it didn't work. Is there anything else I can do? [00:29] XFCE is for pc that are low on ram [00:29] I have a RCA ez105 digital camcorder and I would like to use it to play files I have recorded on my wintv-150. I want to use mencoder to convert to 640x480 with adpcm audio. any suggestions on the proper command? I tried "mencoder fi3-3.mpg -o test.avi -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=1000" the player just froze... [00:29] fosco_: ^ [00:29] zrak: no, 1g of ram should be fine [00:29] gravemind: di it work? [00:30] erUSUL: to unshadow the /etc/passwd [00:30] danbhfive: so you say that i shouldn't have problems with 1Gb with 8.10 [00:30] hi is there an imap client that can actually delete the mails [00:30] when i load the 32-bit app on 64-bit does it use compat libs automatically? [00:30] zrak: I run Ubuntu on 1G of ram with no problems. Until I try to play NWN.... but that's my graphics card as much as anything else. [00:30] zrak: xfce is a light desktop environment, not only for low mem machines [00:30] fosco_: i know, but 1GB ram???? [00:30] fosco_: no.. it had the same error screen (couldn't find the driver or something) I reverted to the generic configuration to log in [00:30] sorry wrong channel [00:31] zrak: I don't think so. But ff taking 5 seconds to start, the first time? Thats just a harddrive issue. You could try installing preload [00:31] zrak: anyway, 5 sec is not so much for firefox, it takes about 2-3 seconds here [00:31] arthurmaciel: o.0! whay would you want to do that? [00:32] danbhfive: well i know about the first time, the processor doesn't have that in it's cache so it's slower to open for the first time, but this happens for the tenth time [00:32] erUSUL: to try cracking the passwords. The time I take to crack my own password is a great measure of its security. [00:32] of opening ff [00:33] where can i get awn themes? [00:33] erUSUL: any hint? [00:33] j3naL: gnome-look.org [00:33] arthurmaciel, you dont need to unshadow, you just need to supply the /etc/shadow to whatever cracking app you use [00:33] fosco_: i don't know how to discribe you but it really works very slow, 10 min before i tried to open a pdf file, and i tried to scrool the document down and i blocked a little bit and then it resumed to show the contents [00:33] lly [00:33] arthurmaciel: what joaopinto said XD [00:33] i thought you could use -geometry on vncviewer to set what resolution you are connecting at.. is that only if its higher than what you want? [00:33] since you are admin you can easly get it === AshK is now known as AshKyd [00:34] fosco_: does ubuntu even use xorg.conf anymore? because mine is generic, almost empty [00:34] fosco_: which part? [00:34] so many menu there [00:34] j3naL: just search for avant [00:34] gravemind: as of intrepid, i'm pretty sure no. [00:34] gravemind, the latest X versions/releases auto-confgure for the most part.. you can tweak the xorg.conf if you want. [00:34] Dr_willis: so if I want to use the nvidia driver but it is not being used, how would I tell the computer to do it? [00:35] anyone want to help me with a pinnacle hdtv PCTV HD usb Stick? dmesg shows its detected. totem says I need a conf file and when I scan for channels I get nothing. thanks in advance. [00:35] joaopinto: thanks! [00:35] gravemind, i ran the nvidia-settings tool and let it generate a proper xorg.conf for my machines.. [00:35] gravemind: some video drivers need xorg.conf, otherwise, HAL is used to configure most hardware [00:35] whats the difference between gksudo and normal sudo? [00:36] gravemind, the X auto-configuration does have some issues. :) [00:36] Dr_willis: alright I will try [00:36] hi. which Video/Audio codecs and parameters allow me to resample a movie for Creative Zen X-Fi ? [00:36] Dr_willis: gksudo is graphic [00:36] ActionParsnip: do you know offhand if nvidia-177 uses hal? [00:36] lakeoftea, gksudo is graphic [00:36] is there a channel I can use to ask questions on using a dvb tv card on ubuntu's totem? [00:36] sobersabre: google. ffmpeg? [00:36] so any difference between sudo nautilus and gksudo nautilus? [00:36] joaopinto, erUSUL and Paddy_EIRE: the command is called unshadow and it is on the system. sorry [00:36] gravemind, i think its the other way around.. hal sees the nvidia card and uses the proper driver.. (or tries to) [00:37] ssmy: I did google, I can't find. [00:37] lakeoftea, dont use sudo for graphical apps.. use gksudo [00:37] gravemind: i'd install nvidia-settings with it and that can help. I can give you my xorg.conf if you want [00:37] lakeoftea: no difference at all, both will mostly sure let you destroy your system [00:37] k thx [00:37] I need the parameters for ffmpeg. [00:37] lakeoftea: if you are opening a graphic app, use gksudo. command-line is sudo [00:37] arthurmaciel, that is still a bad ideia [00:37] Dr_willis: so if that doesn't happen, what can I do? [00:37] !gksudo > lakeoftea [00:37] fosco_: actually, i read there is a difference. [00:37] lakeoftea, please see my private message [00:38] ssmy: I experimented with misc. combinations of codecs, but it didn't run on the Zen, even though it ran on the PC. [00:38] gravemind, no idea.. it worked here.. from what ive seen. if xorg.conf exists its used instead of the autoconfig stuff. [00:38] ActionParsnip: sure, that would be a help. I tried running nvidia settings but it won't let me yet because I'm not using the nvidia as of now (running nvidia-xconfig and restart, then I can use it) [00:38] gravemind: http://pastebin.ca/1258524 [00:38] joaopinto: I will just make a copy. [00:38] I need help using my usb tv tunner card in ubuntu. [00:39] anybody know what grep is? [00:39] Hi all. I'm trying to log into an FTP server, but it says "Error: Invalid reply. Please select another viewer and try again." gFTP works fine — is there a fix/workaround for this? [00:39] jamesrfla, a very well documented tool for searching text files... [00:39] jamesrfla: lots, wassup [00:39] !anyone | jamesrfla [00:39] jamesrfla: man grep [00:39] jamesrfla: searching [00:39] jamesrfla: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:39] ohh ubbotu is cool :) [00:39] * Dr_willis recalls whold books written on grep and awk.. and sed.. [00:40] o [00:40] the 3 sort of go together well like.. err... Hmm.. [00:40] I'm trying to log into an FTP server with *nautilus* rather, but it says "Error: Invalid reply. Please select another viewer and try again." gFTP works fine — is there a fix/workaround for this? [00:40] jamesrfla: you can also use it to filter masses of text [00:40] * erUSUL prefers sed1liners and the equivalent awk1liners XD [00:41] I just installed the new Ubuntu and it makes my router light to the connection blink like hell, however it doesn't actually have an internet connection. [00:41] AskHL: as far as i know, yes, fixes are checked in. but packets are not yet released [00:41] Does anyone know how to use a usb tv card with totem that can help me please? :D [00:41] The previous version of Ubuntu didn't have this issue. [00:41] ghost3: run lsusb in terminal and websearch for the identifier [00:42] Where could I start to fix this? [00:42] ActionParsnip thank you ill try that. [00:42] * chalcedony smiles [00:42] if i need to kill open office and restart it what's the name of the process to kill ? [00:42] Name141: run lspci then see what hardware you have, then see if theres an update or setting you need [00:43] ActionParsnip out of the results I got which is the identifier? [00:43] chalcedony: ps -ef | grep office [00:43] ghost3: use logic [00:43] ActionParsnip: ty very much :) [00:43] ActionParsnip: Can I run something eqivlent to that in windows? [00:43] see you, guys [00:43] Hi, I'm trying to install freenx on Hardy. On the following webpage: http://www.drtek.ca/freenx-server-ubuntu-hardy it says to gedit the source.list file. It says "at the end of the file add those 5 lines. I am pissed because there is no way that the post is clear about what 5 lines they are talking about. can anyone help me [00:43] ActionParsnip: Since I am in windows now [00:44] Name141: equivelent to what?

[00:45] Name141: no s its a linux app, you can always write the line down and come back [00:45] OK [00:46] ghost3: ok then now you know exactly what you have, we can web search now and find it [00:46] ActionParsnip: Dr_willis: alright, I am restarting X with this new xorg.conf. See you soon (hopefully) [00:46] brb :D [00:47] ghost3: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-311519.html [00:47] chalcedony: I just started up the word processor and found soffice in top. killed the associated pid. is that what you needed [00:47] ActionParsnip thanks [00:47] how can I go to another server in xchat? [00:48] so if i was going to make a custom ‮‏‎‪Live CD of Ubuntu but I wanted to stop from loading the desktop until I am done running a script like downloading / installing clamav updating definitions and then running clamav on all drives... what script would i want it to be in? I want them to be to use it but not until I scan the HDD's for viruses and some other things [00:48] When I use startx, how can I have 4 terminals instead of one? or just have application startup with x and have them pop back up if they're closed? [00:49] paul__: menu xchat - network list [00:49] tOMMY3 yes but it wasn't listing .. ActionParsnip 's command worked wonderfully. . i think trying to open a a DOC didn't work so well [00:49] can somebody direct me to the channel where i could get help regarding my mp3 player [00:49] thanks [00:49] what is a DOC vs a .doc and why things get that way is a mystery [00:49] it's read only [00:50] Dr_willis: ActionParsnip: alright, I'm restarted but in low graphics mode.

[00:54] D3RGPS31: this can be easily managed by the desktop [00:54] GAZ082: maybe there is something in ~/.xsession-errors [00:54] I don't use a desktop [00:55] Just X [00:55] D3RGPS31: then you probably have a ~.Xsession [00:55] there is a / missing [00:56] I can have applications ordered from there?

Any suggestions where to start looking for info on compatible hardware / suggestions what to avoid/look for? [01:05] n8tuser: unfortunately that has the wrong resloutions for my screen [01:05] lukeekblad, you need to be more verbose then 'dident work' [01:05] RezPhreak: How much $ in your budget?

I can't boot because grub is not finding some files. I am using ubuntu linux. I have a dedicated grub partition which is (hdo,2) and the grub files are in boot/grub on that partition. The partition containing /boot is /(hd0.3). At boot time grub reports Error 15: File not found. To troubleshoot, I have booted with a live cd and started grub in a terminal. [find /sbin/init] results in (hd0,3) which is what I would expect. [find /boot/ lukeekblad, i imagine you need to give the proper path to the file... [01:06] or else you did a typo [01:06] Dr_willis: yeah... I don't really know how to do that, its on my desktop [01:06] ok, so intrepid is the current stable and was released ... like... "just a moment ago"? [01:07] <]RandoM[> why is it i can ssh through my router which forward me to my desktop when i'm at work, but if i'm on my laptop that is also behind the router i need to use the LAN ip to get in? [01:07] lukeekblad, you might want tos pend an hr or so learning some bash basics very soon... the desktop is /home/USERnAME/Desktop so you would 'cd Desktop' to get there.. then run that command === tim__ is now known as teimu [01:08] ]RandoM[-> behind the router outside in the net?

[01:08] Budge is 1000-1200 [01:08] budget [01:09] Mikkas, proberly compile from source would be the best way... unless you can find some 3rd parth that has debs made for 8.04 allready that would be better . [01:09] <]RandoM[> i am using no-ip too.. i want to do something like setup my laptop so when it sees a certain hostname it uses the LAN ip instead of the WAN one [01:09] <]RandoM[> is that possible?

[01:17] cjeans, you can even isntall the nvidia drivers and stuff to it.. but i had to tweak it a little to get them working with it. [01:17] cjeans, no, but i think its more or less just unetbootin... which works very well. [01:18] besides slackware and solaris are the go oses for hacking [01:18] aeosynth: try #compiz-fusion [01:18] cjeans, i find it works better then netbootin.. makes the thumbdrive faster.. and does a persistant mode/feature.. :) [01:18] Dr_willis-> does it use squashfs or syslinux?

Not sure what bootloader its using.. syslininx i think [01:19] !away > qb|away [01:19] qb|away, please see my private message [01:19] what is the command to do a dist upgrade with synaptic? [01:20] up, np with the boot on usb, I select the language and can select the option from that first menu. [01:20] or how can I do it from synaptic itself? [01:20] how do I remove my graphics card drivers so that ubuntu reinstalls them on boot? driving me nuts, cant get ati proprietary drivers to work [01:20] hi there [01:20] I even ran the integrity check on the usb disk...which passed [01:20] like i said I am still a noob to linux [01:20] maxbaldwin: what exactly do you mean by "dist upgrade"? [01:20] jrib: thanks, but thats not really what I need to do. See, I was doing the 8.10 upgrade and my power went out, and therefore interrupted the upgrade. Some packages were installed and some weren't. Now, I can't use my keyboard at the gnome login. Assuming this was because of the interruption, I went to another terminal, and tried to resume the upgrade. I don't remember the error messages, but there are some dependency problems. Since I [01:20] didn't know how to connect to a wireless network from the terminal, I can't solve these dependencies. That's why I'm now booting via CD, and am trying to modify another install's packages. [01:20] brb got to close this xchat its making strange noises [01:20] Elmnas-> and what did the readme says? whats the file name btw ?

[01:35] linuxjoe: lshw [01:35] ed__: ok, the ntfs you are trying to mount is what size? Is it internal or external? [01:35] linuxjoe, You can use lspci, lsusb, lsscsi, lspcmcia, lshal, hwinfo, dmidecode, and/or lshw, or even dmesg to find out what kind of hardware your machine might have, or you could crack the lid and look inside ... oooh, shiny! If you install lshw, run as root or sudo; "lshw -html > myhardware.html" and you'll have a nice HTML summation. [01:35] cjeans: 64bit works fine in my experience [01:35] jrib: there is a 500gb ATA drive that i want to mount [01:35] linuxjoe: also, lspci [01:35] frogzoo, from terminal?

[01:44] m1nds1llus1on: no its just to delete any reference to ubuntu GNU/linu from the agent descrtiption [01:44] xcerca: how do I go about doing that?

[01:47] vahnx: Don't. It's a bad idea on so many levels. This isn't windows. [01:47] hey room [01:47] Guest3892, on the url adress type about:config [01:47] I guess it is [01:47] Guest3892: try searching in about:config the http-agent descriptor, and delete ubuntu and other ref to glu/linux form it [01:47] Hey.

[01:47] !ask | buckbuntu11 [01:47] buckbuntu11: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:47] i understand. [01:48] do you know how? [01:48] Guest3892, did you already typed about:config on the url? [01:48] my var/log/messages says http://paste.ubuntu.com/73162/ is that bad? [01:48] WhoNeedszzz, You normally do not run gui apps as cron jobs - since cron may not be running them as the same user thats using the X dislay at that time [01:48] also, I'd probably have a fix... [01:48] Dr_willis: well it worked in hardy just fine [01:48] vahnx: Honestly, even if I did, I wouldn't tell you due to the inherent security risks involved. But no, I don't nor would I ever want to.

[01:49] lol triptakit, IE is installed on my windows, but i think it has only ever been opened a few times, just to check compatabilty in htnl :)) [01:49] and do i need a swap partition with ubuntu? [01:49] vahnx: sure... but you're asking for my help which I have the right to withold if I so choose. It's your machine, if you want to know how to completely bypass any security built into your OS... feel free to figure it out on your own. [01:49] or do i even need one? [01:49] Dr_willis: I believe it is something to do with Xauthority. [01:49] <^Cheeky> can anyone tell me how i can get my dissapeared bookmarks please ? [01:49] wow your getting angry and its my system [01:49] Throat, not yellow dog linux ;) [01:49] does anyone know if theres a way to format a partition as hfs+ in linux [01:50] hola hola a todos mis broxes de este canal jojojojoo [01:50] typical linux user.. [01:50] lkjkljklj: it dependes on the amount of RAM u have [01:50] WhoNeedszzz-> what are you really after? [01:50] some body help me [01:50] cheeky are u using firefox? [01:50] plssssssssss [01:50] n8tuser: Trying to get cron to work [01:50] Commie_Cary, because it doesn't support usb? [01:50] Guest3892, want help or not? [01:50] popeye ask your question m8, if people can answer they will do [01:50] popeye__: what is the question? [01:50] WhoNeedszzz-> what app, you mentioned X, what do you want the app to do? [01:50] WhoNeedszzz, yep. that would be my guess also.. the xhost command may let ya get around that.. with the new user-switching features of 8.10 i imagine they locked that stuff down as much as they can [01:50] how can i changed of chanel [01:50] is it considered commonplace to ask a question about intrepid ibex (the ubuntu distribution im currently running now) by just asking the question in front of all these people? (i dont want to sound like some newbie)!! so should i just ask my question? [01:51] Throat, mo, because its for Powerpc [01:51] change channel in xchat irc? [01:51] !ask | buckbuntu11 [01:51] buckbuntu11: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:51] popeye__: /join #newchannel [01:51] Dr_willis: what about xhost? [01:51] WhoNeedszzz, it can disable some of that security features [01:51] man i'm having a trouble using my ssh to other computer... [01:51] Dr_willis: hmm how do I use it? [01:51] Commie_Cary, I don't see how that invalidates what I said - if that can boot of the usb stick, linux would boot from it [01:52] when i try to connect through putty it says network error.. what should i do to make me get in to my computer? [01:52] hightide: is there a ssh server up on those other pcs? [01:52] WhoNeedszzz, i would start with 'man xhost' im proper use of it can be considerd a big security hole.. 'xhost +localhost' used to allow anyonton the local machine to access the X display.. Not sure if it still does.. [01:52] If I run xhost I get this: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyxhost: unable to open display ":0.0" [01:52] does anyone know if theres a way to format a partition as hfs+ in linux ? [01:52] WhoNeedszzz-> what app, you mentioned X, what do you want the app to do? [01:52] <^Cheeky> i woke up, and all my bookmarks. in my firefox browser has dissapeared could anyone tell me how i can recover this ? [01:52] i really think that these irc channels need to be categorised better, with sub rooms for specific questions etc [01:52] n8tuser: I said xterm [01:52] linuxjoe: I agree. [01:52] WhoNeedszzz, the person RUNNING the X server/logged in. uses the command to allow otehrs to run apps on his display [01:53] tripitakit: i'm using putty... [01:53] ^Cheeky: do you have a backup of .mozilla? [01:53] WhoNeedszzz-> what you want an xterm to do for you? [01:53] n8tuser: run mplayer === seronis is now known as seronis_ [01:53] WhoNeedszzz-> you can issue mplayer from cron can you not? [01:53] towlietoo much going on and so many people dont get their questions answered, which is a shame as that what these rooms are meant for, but its actually impossible === Guest45862 is now known as fernando [01:53] ^Cheeky: also make sure you're not logged in as a different user [01:53] i've already installed the openssh server but nothing happens.. [01:54] sorry towlie, that wasnt meant for u alone ;) [01:54] I need some help. Whenever I boot in Ubuntu it hangs while booting. I have to press and hold a key on my keyboard for it to boot. When I put it in hybernate it won't wake up [01:54] hightide: what do you want to happen? === fernando is now known as Guest72469 === Guest72469 is now known as fernandesfer [01:54] jrib: thanks for all the help. im giving up for now... linux is such a pain in the ass sometimes :S [01:54] linuxjoe, i think ive fiound the solution but i dunno how to fix it [01:54] bradl1, is your bios setup to allow your pc to wake up from mouse movement, or keyboard? [01:54] What the...now when I just try and run gedit I get: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key [01:54] (gedit:19650): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 [01:54] ed__, I often say the same thing about computers.. :) [01:55] thats the fun part of linux ed__ ! :) [01:55] from like a normal sleep mode anything will wake it up [01:55] sorry towlie, i forgot what your problem was, if u press page up, u can simply scroll up and repeat question m8 [01:55] I don't have this problem in any other OS i have [01:55] LF|Irssi: not when i want to do something as simple as opening a damned hdd [01:55] towlie page down scrolls down [01:55] WhoNeedszzz, some good info here.. (hard core info) --> http://www.oceanwave.com/technical-resources/unix-admin/security/x-security.html [01:56] jrib: i was out of town for a few days... i leave my PC open... but when i try to get connected to it through putty i can't get connected, it says... network error, my friends computer is windows.. [01:56] dr willis, i am going to setup a pc to install a firewall o/s, someone recommended smoothwall, or is ipcop better? [01:56] hightide: can you 'ssh localhost' successfully? [01:57] jrib: yes i can... [01:57] hightide: is your computer behind a router? [01:57] drwillis and is it better to install a firewall server, before i install a samba server? [01:57] hi all [01:57] hi [01:57] I need some help [01:57] jrib: nope its not behind a router [01:57] ask fernandesfer [01:58] linuxjoe, i dont use either.. and there is no such thing as a 'firewall server' like there is a samba server.. linux has firewalling fetures built in. [01:58] hightide: so it's connected directly to the internet? Do you have a firewall? [01:58] ok I think the best thing would be to regenerate the Xauthority file. How do I do that? [01:58] !firewall | linuxjoe [01:58] linuxjoe: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [01:58] my hotmail email does not allow to use the text window to write [01:58] has anyone else experienced pidgin eating CPU on intrepid? [01:58] smoothwall is a firewall o/s or server, it uses webadmin to administrate it from any other pc [01:59] linuxjoe, normal security proceures would be to get the firewall going first.. [01:59] ubottu, i want to use something as a gateway for all my pc's [01:59] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:59] okay apache people [01:59] smoothwall is a OS that works as a firewall. :) [01:59] lmao [01:59] I just use my router. :) [01:59] jrib: yes its connected directly to the internet.. how would i check if i have a firewall?? coz.. i hav'nt installed any firewall at all... is there a default firewall through ubuntu 8.10? [01:59] bmk789: pidgin only using 11.9mb for me [01:59] good morning have anibody fujitsu siemens or acer? [01:59] drwillis, i dont trust my isp as i live in england and the governement snoops as do our isps [01:59] hightide: no there isn't. Does 'sudo iptables -L' return anything? [01:59] !firewall | hightide [01:59] hightide: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [01:59] where do I put Serverlimit 4000 in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf? [02:00] i can't compile acerhk modul [02:00] why i cannot exit from nano when i use ctrl+x in terminal? [02:00] bmk789: but im using 8.04 [02:00] 8.10 won't boot on it's own. I have to hold a key down on my keyboard for it to boot . Is there a fix? [02:00] hightide: never mind. I can tell you that your ssh server is working fine as it just gave me a login prompt when I tried to connect to you [02:00] jrib: its it returns something [02:00] any idea? [02:00] can somebody help me [02:00] hightide: your ssh is working fine. It's offering me a login [02:00] fernandesfer, http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS6023147333.html [02:00] read the update [02:01] !ask | indra [02:01] indra: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:01] brad it sounds like there might be a hardware conflict going on, is your keyboard usb and is it set up to boot in your bios [02:01] TO WHOEVER JUST KICKED ME OFF THIS CHANNEL: MY DOG HOPPED THE FENCE AND FUCKED YOUR WHORE MOTHER.....AND THATS HOW YOU WERE BORN......YOU ARE EMPLOYED AS A FAG WHO GETS PAID BY HOW MUCH CUM YOU INGEST PER NIGHT......AND YOU HAVE MADE A FORTUNE DOING IT!!! YOU ARE ONE RUDE SONOFABITCH PAL!!! I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL WHILE IM FUCKING YOUR WHORE SISTER!!! [02:01] ok [02:01] it's my keyboard on my laptop [02:01] buckubuntu, u were kicked because u kept on asking if u could ask a question, just ask your question [02:01] thiebaude, ill try deleting my .purple and reconfigure it, but the app will random start consuming 100% of a core of my cpu, maybe it has to do with the config directory being in an encrypted directory [02:01] he's needs to get banned [02:01] anyone know how to autologin as root? [02:02] i can't compile acerhk have anybody have acer d fujitsu siemens [02:02] why i cannot exit from nano when i use ctrl+x in terminal? any idea? [02:02] bradL1, ah, well sorry, i have absolutely no clues about laptops at all m8 [02:02] dang [02:02] jrib: uhmmm..... i don't know what happen too, many many thanks to u man.... i'll just have to try it to other computer.. thanks a lot and GOD Bless [02:02] vahnx: that's a terrible idea. Why do you think you want to do that? [02:02] "learning how to get support on irc: FAIL" :) [02:02] bmk789: i went back to 8.04 because 8.10 was using too many resources(memory) [02:02] hightide: no problem [02:02] to mess up my computer [02:02] I'll post something in the ubuntu forums then, thanks anyways [02:02] roflmao [02:02] lol drwillis [02:03] im googling around but no avail [02:03] vahnx: well I don't help people mess up their computers [02:03] thiebaude, ive noticed that too, my load is commonly at about 10 now [02:03] it's so i can learn to repair it [02:03] vahnx, apparently thats not allowable in ubuntu according to docs [02:03] thiebaude, were you using 64bit by chance? [02:03] vahnx, here is not the place to ask for that. [02:03] where would i ask that? [02:03] not here. [02:03] jrib: I already informed him of what a bad idea it was and that I didn't think it was even possible, he doesn't want to listen [02:03] bmk789: im keeping 8.04 till 10.04 comes out [02:04] vahnx, go read the gdm config files/comments. [02:04] I have to say im disappointed with intrepid. with every other ubuntu release i ran into 0 problems, but i've been having hell trying to get a xpad to work with zsnes [02:04] from what i read its allowed in mepis etc. [02:04] took an hour or so to figure out hte xpad problem [02:04] vahnx: sudo -s ; passwd ; login as root, rm -fr / [02:04] and then i install zsnes [02:04] vahnx: go read docs. That's how you learn [02:04] vahnx, then ask in their channels [02:04] vahnx, that dosent mean its a good idea. :) [02:04] and it just crashes [02:04] . [02:04] hello, i'm an ubuntu newbie, is there a way i can print on a windows shared printer? [02:04] I have a question, when I'm trying to ssh into a box that I reinstalled the OS, I get the "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED" [02:04] its my system so im not scared to get it all messed up [02:04] jlc: please don't do that even as a joke [02:04] vahnx, i got my pcs set to auto-login as a guest account. [02:04] jlc, dont do that [02:04] billy:8.04 has been the best for me, and it's LTS [02:04] billy, 8.04 is the stable version, 8.10 is like an alpha, mainly for people with new hardware and those who want to try the latest software [02:04] in a red hat linux or in a fedora system I edit ~/.ssh/known_hosts [02:05] jlc: that kind of thing would get you fired around here... [02:05] i did have a user but i just transfered all its stuff to the root acc [02:05] he said he wanted to mess it up [02:05] i'm helping a fellow user [02:05] dr_willis, why as guest? [02:05] i really wanna mess up this machine so i can repair it [02:05] vahnx, we dont care what you do with either.. but if you want to do thing as root all the time.. its a good idea to learn some basics [02:05] kwame: rm -v /home/user/.ssh/known hosts [02:05] linuxjoe, for the kids. :) [02:05] and look for the line that has that ip associated with the ssh finger print, delete it and then I'm able to ssh [02:05] hello, i'm an ubuntu newbie, is there a way i can print on a windows shared printer? [02:05] which file is the autologin stuff located? [02:05] then i can work from there [02:05] kwame: it's the same in ubuntu [02:05] nossralsuva: I have a lot of systems in there, I just want to delete the line that corresponds to that host [02:05] dr_willis, oh right m8 [02:05] vahnx, the gdm config files.. or the gdm configuration tool. [02:05] hello, i'm an ubuntu newbie, is there a way i can print on a windows shared printer? [02:05] ok ill search for those, thanks [02:05] jrib: but in Ubuntu, I don't see the ip or ssh [02:06] you will need to look for that particular ip in that line then [02:06] vahnx, not all settings are avail in the config tool [02:06] might take you a while [02:06] kwame: the error tells you the line number [02:06] it's kind of encrypted [02:06] i tried the config tool and it blocks adding root to auto login [02:06] kwame: the message will include a line number, you need to delete that line in ~/.ssh/known_hosts [02:06] so i gotta figure out how to manually do it [02:06] linuxjoe, i know its new, but if its considered released it i think editing HAL configs and xorg stuff shouldnt be necessary if it wasnt in previous versions.. especially with hardware supported for the past 3-5 versions [02:06] in windows, I also use a guest account and change to either admin, or another user so i can install software etc, is it a good idea to do the same in linux, or is linux secure enough so that i dont have to do that? [02:06] doors98, 'system -> admin -> printing" and configure the widnows printer. :) [02:06] kwame: or see 'man ssh-keygen' [02:06] you know. [02:07] bimberi: right, line number, I just saw that [02:07] vahnx the gdm config file is well commented on that and otehr similer topics.. [02:07] im trying to get citrix icaclient installed by using alien to turn the rpm to deb seems like it installs but when i click a link called launch.ica it doenst know what to do [02:07] well, still anyone? [02:07] billy, if u look in ubuntu forums, 8.10 has a lot of bugs apaprently [02:07] where should i point it [02:07] Throat, are you using ubuntu? [02:07] dr wills, yap theres a shared windows printer server but how can i print from my ubuntu os? [02:07] im lookin for this file, cant find it yet. ill try the built in ubuntu search tool [02:07] linuxjoe: in linux, talking ubuntu, since we are in this chat room, to install a program it will ask for a password [02:07] samba === john is now known as Guest67373 === Guest67373 is now known as jmcshea [02:08] dr wills, yap theres a shared windows printer server but how can i print from my ubuntu os? [02:08] doors98, use the menus --> 'system -> admin -> printing" and follow the little wizard yet? or are you havin some more specific problem? [02:08] linuxjoe: so you can't install a program unless you give it the sudo command [02:08] bazhang, no, that's why I have to ask someone who does.... else I could install the package, see if the bug is there and file a bug-report [02:08] linuxjoe, it does.. and im saying that it shouldnt have been declared "released" until it was stable [02:08] DR_willis:what is the dbus-daemon for? [02:08] !bugs | Throat [02:08] Throat: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [02:08] Sorry if this is off-topic but does anyone know of a website(or anything) where I can browse and download some programs for Ubuntu? Or should I just google it. [02:08] but thats just my opinion i still think ubuntu is a great colleciton of software [02:08] thiebaude, interprocess communication I think.. ive rarely had to mess withit. [02:08] way more enjoyable than my gentoo days [02:08] Throat, this is ubuntu support [02:08] billy, yes, I know that, it happens when i use terminal and synaptic, but yeah thanks that kinda says linux is much mroe secure [02:08] bradL1, there is getdeb.net [02:08] So I tried the Ubuntu translators channel before with no answers so I wanted to ask if there's someone here who's into the translation proces [02:09] billy:use synaptics package manager [02:09] Dr_willis:is it safe to kill? [02:09] thiebaude, i dont think you want to do that. [02:09] bradL1, also this page http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [02:09] ok [02:09] billy: get-deb.org if you're looking for stuff not in the repos [02:09] it has a great collection of apps you can search for [02:09] thiebaude, but ya can kill it and see what happens I guess. :P [02:09] dr. wills i followed the litel wiz at ubuntu but it can't print, it detects the windows printer w/c is HP2460 then i check and intalled it but it cant print [02:09] Thanks faryshta [02:09] billy, developers are an optomistic bunch,,especially when we are their guinea pigs :)) [02:09] Dr_willis: i dont want to take the chance [02:09] yea lol [02:09] tryggvib, on launchpad you will find all about the translation process and you can colaborate. [02:10] dr. wills i followed the litel wiz at ubuntu but it can't print, it detects the windows printer w/c is HP2460 then i check and intalled it but it cant print [02:10] bazhang, well, so you're telling me getting someone to help me fixing up a broken ubuntu-package (or at least confirming the bug) is offtopic? What better place could there be? [02:10] doors98 - no idea on that.. i can print fine to my shared windows printers.. I DO have windows users and linux ussers with identical names.. [02:10] faryshta: I am a translator but there are things which I don't really understand and I've been trying to find information on it [02:10] Throat, check launchpad. [02:10] Dr_willis: do you got a link about the different processes in system monitor? [02:10] Could somebody help me with a UUID error? My two internal partitions used to show up under real names not UUID names, and my external used to show up as unmounted and would mount with one click, I have not changed fstab and do not want these disks in my fstab as it worked fine for me before. Change happened after restart and is similar to Bug #141564 but the hald-generate fix does not work [02:10] faryshta: for example how are translations synchronized? [02:10] dr wills, do i need aditional printer drivers for my hpd246? [02:10] thiebaude, other then google.com no.. :) [02:11] tryggvib, well I have been helping and when need extra help use google http://translate.google.com/translate_t [02:11] thiebaude: use top to find the PID (process identifier) then use the kill, like they say the names of the proces that you are trying to kill, but some names are not easily understandable and you could kill the wrong thing, so goolge it first [02:11] how can i update firefox? [02:11] doors98, no idea.. check cups.org for how supported that printer is. [02:11] Dr_willis: thanks anyway [02:11] faryshta: do translations from one version automatically get incorporated into the next version [02:11] tryggvib, synchronized to which language? [02:11] nossralsuva: can i use htop to do that [02:11] fernadesfer, DO NOT UPGRADE FIREFOX TO ANY OF THE VERSIONS 3 and higher [02:11] ? [02:11] update firefox [02:11] I know I spend many hours on helping to spanish translation of intrepid tryggvib [02:11] its oh sovery very buggy is firefox 3 [02:12] what shall i do to update my firefox version? [02:12] fernadesfer, which version are you using [02:12] faryshta: translations for hardy that I've done are marked purple and they've been marked purple since before hardy came out and still are [02:12] faryshta: They need to be synchronized somehow [02:12] thiebaude: i don't have htop installed, try it, but notice what you are trying to kill, you don't want to kill something that is necessary, like a necesary service [02:12] dr wills, do i need aditional printer driver for the shared windows printer before i can print in ubuntu? [02:12] Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-PT; rv:1.8.1.17) Gecko/20080922 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.17 [02:12] yup [02:13] fernadesfer, Personally, I would advise you to wait at least another three-six months before you update firefox, also many extensions do not work with firefox 3 [02:13] I have No idea on that. check the cups.org web site to see what drivers that printer needs.. most every printer ive had.. allreay had 'drivers' in linux for them. [02:13] linuxjoe, that is simply not true. [02:13] fernadesfer, stick with that m8 [02:13] tryggvib, so far I know launchpad does that job of select and synchronize the translations. [02:13] fernandsfer: yep, i do agree, lots of extensions don't work [02:13] faryshta: have you been working on intrepid? Do translations from Hardy automatically get ported to intrepid [02:14] bazhang, go to the firefox three bugzilla site and u will see it is oh so ver ver true m8 :)) [02:14] All, how to show which is my swap partition? [02:14] tnx dr wills, i'l do that [02:14] faryshta: do you know what the select and synchronize process is based on? [02:14] nossralsuva: fasterfox doesn't work [02:14] fernandsfer: but be sure to back up your .mozilla folder before upgrading, it is a hidden file in the /home/user/.mozilla folder, okay [02:14] my aim was only to try to solve this email problem under hotmail [02:14] tryggvib, look this is the launchpad project to translations https://translations.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu/ubuntu/+pots/ddtp-ubuntu-main/es/+translate?show=untranslated [02:14] enjoy it. [02:14] Ohmu: sudo fdisk -l [02:14] bazhang, firefox 3 is faster than firefox 2 but it has lots of bugs in it [02:14] anyone can help. [02:14] faryshta: thanks [02:15] thiebaude: yep, i lost the usability of fasterfox, but i ran noscript which throttled it back anyways, lol [02:15] how do I go about installing the sound drivers for my computer? [02:15] they are the Realtek [02:15] alsa [02:15] fernandesfer, install wine and then install internet explorer, then u should be able to access hotmail with no problems [02:15] fernandesfer, you need to change the user agent from firefox. [02:15] alsa [02:15] i send you a page where explains the process. [02:15] Appl3Kork; alsaconfig [02:15] bazhang, what I ask is that someone installs the package to confirm the bug (some brazilian guy with little english abilities said it was in intrepid in #xpilot) - that'd be < 1 minute - if the same guy was really very nice, he'd go even further up to a bug-report that (possibly) contains a fix... and you guys would have one broken package less but I don't really see myself switching distribution to go from a working package to a broken one. [02:15] .. [02:16] tryggvib, what language you wanna help? [02:16] how do i exclude a page from having a footer in openoffice? [02:16] Appl3Kork: try running : $alsaconf [02:16] Appl3Kork: then try running : $alsactl store [02:16] bimberi, problem is sda5 and 6 both report as swap. one is redundant & unused. how to identify the active one? [02:16] says bad command [02:16] hey once i burned the ubuntu iso on a blank cd what do i do? [02:16] ok folks, time for my bed, have fun all [02:16] Appl3Kork: then do a speaker test : $speaker-test [02:16] I upgraded to 8.10, now the ati 1950 graphics card driver from ati doesn't work, and the link to the instructions on how to install it doesn't work, I have two monitors.

[03:05] Hey people, can I install 8.10 and wait until the next LTS? Will it still be getting security updates by then, and will the upgrade be fine or will I run into snags? [03:05] I can not get sound from flashplayer anymore... nothing changed.. it just stopped working... installed libflashsupport and rebooted... still no sound... any suggestions? [03:06] melgo: No way to tell for sure because i lack a crystal ball, but I would say that you should be fine. [03:06] Circs, thanks. [03:06] melgo: the next LTS isn't scheduled yet afaik so that's impossible to say. In any case you would have to upgrade throught every distribution in between anyway [03:06] melgo: you might find your graphics/wifi/sound/whatever drivers won't work after you upgrade..

I'll provide details just tell me what you need [03:48] AlexKarev: kde-look.org [03:48] Does anyone here know where I can find a program that will join the *.vob files together int he order I place them so that I can use an encoder on just 1 file instead of having to encode multiple files while backing up my movie collection ? [03:48] Okay, but one quick question. I'm running a GNOME desktop, does that make a difference? [03:48] faryshta, i figured it out, it's an Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter [03:49] (still new at all this) [03:49] bimberi: is it safe to empty this folder, or is it needed for uninstall or something? [03:49] well then I will send you the driver needed. [03:49] binmonkey? [03:49] tacosarecool: i'm still kind of new at this but i understand that gnome is heavier than kde. i think it's a given that it's slower. [03:49] AlexKarev: you can use kde-programs in gnome [03:49] movy player is haveing problems playing back .wav files, what can I do? [03:49] faryshta, orly?

It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [04:35] hey [04:36] so use rdesktop? [04:36] admin_masu3701: yes.. open terminal and type.. "rdesktop IP" [04:36] i'm a noob, but i thought ssh was used to connect to other machines. can you use it for that? [04:37] hello sinners [04:37] djhash: just rdesktop IP ? [04:37] yup [04:37] binMonkey: ssh is just a protocol for transfering data through encrypted pipes.. [04:37] admin_masu3701: yes... "rdesktop IP" [04:37] djhash: ok. thanks. [04:38] replace IP with the IP you are connecting to [04:38] why tomcat is not a buntu supported /maintained app? synaptic did display ubuntu logo [04:38] oh ok [04:38] tomcat feels like an essential app. [04:38] djhash: how do i find out my ip? it's not my 192.168 number is it? [04:38] Good night [04:39] shinobi2: open a terminal and do a: apt-cache search tomcat [04:39] binMonkey: 71.209.147.140 [04:39] so they are using windows xp [04:39] I need help to configure my video card a VIA [04:39] binMonkey, yes, your LAN ip orbably will start with 192 [04:39] Gnea, yes i found [04:39] will i still be able to connect? [04:39] will probably * [04:39] Gnea, but which one to install? [04:39] hi all [04:39] shinobi2: whichever one is required [04:39] admin_masu3701: yes... it is for connecting to 2k/XP machines [04:39] did any1 experience sound issues with 8.10? [04:40] IdleOne: ok but how do i tell my brother. who i set up in ubuntu, how to find his isp? [04:40] djhash: ok let me try [04:40] Gnea, i don't know which is required. must i do trial and error? [04:40] shinobi2: why install something when you don't even have a use for it? [04:40] I installed ubuntu restricted addons and still can't play back .wav, what can I do? [04:40] how do I apt-get acrobat reader for 8.1? [04:40] binMonkey: whatsmyip.com or something like that [04:40] isda [04:40] EDinNY: it's in the medibuntu repos [04:40] Dominik2: what program are you using for the .wav? [04:40] Gnea, i need tomcat. i did not say anything about not needing it [04:41] hy..... [04:41] Gnea: default movy player [04:41] Dominik2: what about the play command? [04:41] Gnea: ? [04:41] Gnea, there are couple of entries returned from apt-cache search [04:41] Dominik2: open a terminal and type play [04:41] does anyone know a guide to troubleshoot sound in 8.10? [04:41] kindofabuzz: oooooooh. so within my house, say, i'd use the 192 ip. but to the outside world my ip is 71.209.etc? [04:42] during the login screen i hear drums, everything after i can't hear anything played :( [04:42] binMonkey: yes and http://whatismyipaddress.com/ will give your brother the external ip for his computer [04:43] shinobi2: yeah, you're going to need to do your own research on that level - you could try trial and error, but unless you have a web app that really depends on tomcat, it's pretty pointless. I'm not going to say what you should or shouldn't do, that's totally up to you. [04:43] !sound | duckabolo [04:43] duckabolo: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [04:43] is there anyway to find out why I've been banned from he C programming chan?

[04:43] fermina [04:44] hum hum hum [04:45] hi, is it safe to delete files and folders in /boot to be able to upgrade to initrd.img-2.6.24.21 ? [04:45] djhash: i got the ip in but here is the output: Autoselected keyboard map en-us [04:45] Rhorse: thanks, i'll follow these steps first.. [04:45] I have a really strange issue. I have a USB external numpad which works fine EXCEPT when in Wine playing a certain game (Sid Meier's Pirates) - I am wondering if anyone might be able to tell me why this external numpad doesn't work in sid meier's pirates (the numbers that is - "enter" works fine) ? [04:45] hello sinners [04:45] when I try to use update manager, my zip complains i have no more space... T_T [04:45] can I upgrade Ubuntu to 8.10? [04:46] djhash: not really sure how rdesketop work..what am i suppose to do from there [04:46] phpcurious, ok [04:46] tony_ what do you mean? [04:46] acidicbase, do you have an upset tummy? [04:46] I'm trying to figure out a way to run 'ls -l' on all directories in $MANPATH. A google linux search for "running commands against environment variables" didn't seem to turn up much help. Can anybody provide a pointer that might help out? [04:46] phpcurious, ok, you have low disk space [04:46] !ot | tony_ [04:46] tony_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[04:47] tony_ do you suggest then to delete old files in /boot? [04:48] tony_: please don't do that. [04:48] djhash: i dont see the screen [04:49] gTea: for i in "$MANPATH"; do ls -l $i; done [04:49] Hey guys, thanks for the help with the SSH stuff. It worked! I am now using irssi by ssh tunneling through to my other computer running aptitude. Thanks. Now here is the question: I forwarded port 22 on my linksys wireless router (running tomato firmware) and the ssh worked just fine. Now I removed the port forwarding and it still works. Why is this? And is this suppose to happen? Does it mean that my wireless network is not so secure? [04:49] Gnea, ok [04:49] Gnea, not do what? [04:49] what application do I use to create a zip file? [04:50] jimmy_, glad I could help [04:50] tony_: call people sinners (ubuntu channels are religion-neutral) and provide false answers [04:50] palomer, zip [04:50] Gnea, what false answer? [04:50] is there a gui? [04:50] palomer, no [04:50] admin_masu3701: it should show up.. what kind of internet connection do you have? [04:50] cable [04:50] high speed [04:50] palomer, if u want gui, install Winzip [04:51] Can anyone explain why I did not have to forward port 22 on my router to ssh? [04:51] tony_: like just now, you told palomer there isn't a gui for using zip, when in fact, there is. [04:51] admin_masu3701: have you been able to successfuly connect to him previously? [04:51] Gnea, no there isnt. only winzip using Wine [04:51] tony_: winzip is a windows utility, not an ubuntu utility. we don't support windows here. [04:51] hi all [04:51] djhash: no i never tryed in linux [04:51] Gnea, duh! sctroll back judge [04:51] tony_: negative. you can install the zip and unzip packages and double-click on them via the desktop. [04:51] djhash: this is the first time [04:51] Hello [04:51] palomer, try apt-cache find zip [04:51] Gnea, negative. [04:52] i did gpasswd -A instead of -a how do i undo it [04:52] troll, obviously. [04:52] Gnea, thats not a GUI [04:52] Gnea, negative [04:52] Gnea, no there isnt. only winzip using Wine [04:52] Can anyone tell me why my NUMPAD is not working in a WINE program which accepts the number '2' as a hotkey for a command? hitting 2 on the keyboard works - hitting 2 on my USB external numpad does not. [04:52] Does anyone know if AWN (avant-window-navigator) has it's own channel? [04:52] palomer, acutually apt-cache search zip [04:52] admin_masu3701: i mean in windows.. have you connected to him fine?! [04:52] Gnea, stop giving false information [04:52] yes [04:52] I am using ubuntu 8.10 on dell 1420, i managed get my webcam working and tried to install new alsa drivers as i want my mic to work [04:53] but now mic is working but the headphone jacks are not [04:53] nitin, inbuolty mic? [04:53] tony_: heh. [04:53] microphone [04:53] nitin, try USB headset [04:53] admin_masu3701: then this should work.. if it doesn't they maybe the port is blocked or the remote desktop host service is not running.. [04:53] i did gpasswd -A (which adds the user to the administrative group) instead of -a how do i undo it [04:53] anyone knows if there is any application available to program atmega32 microcontrollers with ubuntu? [04:53] I dont have a USB headset [04:53] nitin: ignore tony_, he's a troll [04:53] anyone know how to disable the system beep? [04:54] nitin: did you check your mixer settings? [04:54] Gnea, if you want GUI using zip. there is only 1 way... if u want gui, install Winzip. So dont give misleading information to palomer [04:54] djhash: ok..it just hangs on Autoselected keyboard map en-us [04:54] admin_masu3701: this could be because the other computer is not responding.. [04:54] #join lanuevarepublica [04:54] is it possible to use a sky-modem thingie on ubuntu for cellular network connection? [04:54] !bash Gnea [04:54] 'Gnea' isn't a number!

[04:56] admin_masu3701: then either the computer is not accepting connections.. or the other computer is behind a router/firewall.. that needs to have its ports forwarded.. [04:56] Rhorse: ah, yes. [04:56] i need help getting my ipod touch working [04:56] djhash: ok..and that is the only way? [04:57] anyone know how to disable the system beep? [04:57] Rhorse: as long as your cellphone has a way of connecting to your computer and as long as you can set it to use a /dev/ttySOMETHING device, it should work just fine [04:57] !dialup | Rhorse [04:57] Rhorse: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [04:57] admin_masu3701: he could install tightvnc on his computer.. but if its a router/firewall problem.. then no matter what he installs.. he needs to forward ports... [04:58] djhash: Got a copy of a generic grub menu.lst for 8.10? ;_; [04:58] Gnea, I'll try to narrow down my question, next time. Thanks for your help. [04:58] yeah tried everything :( [04:58] should i paste a screenshot of my alsamixer output [04:58] ? [04:58] btw ubuntu 8.10 is awesome release :) my phone gets automatically detected as broadband modem and also I get to select service providers in India.

[05:00] can someone help me get my ipod touch working with gtk pod [05:00] admin_masu3701: if you are both in the school's network.. you should'n't have a firewall problem.. ask if he installed anything new.. like anti-virus or something like that.. [05:01] xenoterracide, i like brasero [05:01] Gnea, thanks for your attention. your suggestion: for i in "$MANPATH"; do ls -l $i; done ...results in the following error: ls: cannot access /usr/local/man:/usr/man:... No Such File or Directory. Looks like $MANPATH returns a single value, being the directories separated by a colon ':'. Do you think this requires a bit of scripting to accomplish? [05:01] gTea: indeed. [05:01] djhash: yes an anti-virus software [05:01] Gnea: thank you, i appreciate it =) [05:02] hmm... nope... was poking to see if I could find some burning software that is available in linux and windows [05:02] admin_masu3701: that could be why you are not connecting.. depending on the software.. it also could have a builting firewall.. [05:02] *builtin [05:03] djhash: so what if he turns it off for now will that work [05:03] gTea: for i in `echo $PATH | sed -e 's/:/ /g'`; do ls -l $i; done [05:04] admin_masu3701: sure that will do it.. but it would be better if he could figure out the software more.. and learn to open a port for remote desktop [05:04] can any instruct me on how to print from ubuntu to windows server?

[05:25] Mad props for designers of apt-get. I found a program I needed and didn't even have to download from their site. Tried sudo apt-get install kchmviewer and it worked. Linux is insane. [05:25] is it ok to use .xinit instead of .xsession ? [05:25] PassionFRUI7E, what does it do? [05:25] anyone knows if there is any application available to program atmega32 microcontrollers with ubuntu? [05:26] owen1: did you set your .Xdefaults and import them? [05:26] Gnea: yes [05:27] Rhorse: Installs programs on your box with a simple y/n. [05:27] Gnea, thats true [05:27] You can't tell me you've never used apt-get? [05:27] a [05:27] Gnea: what do u mean by import? xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults [05:27] PassionFRUI7E, some never have, no need to for some ppl [05:27] Or you mean the program? lmao. It opens MS compiled help files. [05:28] owen1: yup [05:28] guys. what's LVM? [05:28] Well its such a convenience I swear its illegal. [05:28] !LVM [05:28] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [05:28] PassionFRUI7E, I meant kchm...

"linux32" will fake 32-bit only by changing the uname -a output, I guess I need a 32-bit jail [05:30] PassionFRUI7E, I've heard of MS. No cure yet, right? [05:30] Gnea: i did it but i don't have .xsession so i put the code he mention in .xinit. let me paste it to pastebin. [05:30] owen1: works fine here....maybe you missed a step [05:31] how can i go back to default installed audio settings ? [05:31] nitin, man alsactl [05:31] owen1: after you did the -merge, did you actually run xterm? [05:31] Gnea: your example worked perfectly. i made a goof by not adding the -d option to ls, meriting a return of all the directories within the directories in $MANPATH. To sum it up, to view the permissions of all directories within an environment variable, one can use the following: for i in `echo $PATH | sed -e 's/:/ /g'`; do ls -l -d $i; done ...thank you for a useful script and my first lesson in sed. [05:32] whatever happened to the "BEEP" tab that allowed you to disable the system BEEP? How do I disable the BEEP? [05:32] since when is mono s dependency of gnome? [05:32] Is there a recommended minimal cpu for running Ubuntu 8.x? [05:32] I wanted to remove mono-common and it wants to take libgnome out with it [05:32] gTea: you're welcome :) it could extend to go a bit further, if you wanted to really get thorough.. [05:33] Gnea: no. i reboot [05:33] will_hough, I have run it with a 4 MHz Westinghouse chip and no RAM [05:33] FelipeS, permanently? add pcspkr to /etc/modules.d/blacklist [05:33] hey did they fix the system beep issue yet? === iratsu is now known as alang [05:33] I had windows running on this box and it ran well, I installed Ubuntu and Firefox is very slow. [05:34] owen1: oh.... okay, well when you run an xterm now, is tput colors giving you 256? [05:34] Seems to run up my cpu cycles when opening [05:34] YMMV [05:34] Rhorse: Guess that's not my issue then :) [05:34] FelipeS, erm, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist that is, sorry [05:34] does Ubuntu put firmware in /lib/firmware? [05:34] ikyn__: yes. [05:34] ikyn__, yes [05:34] thanks [05:35] YMMV> [05:35] was that for moi? [05:35] !YMMV [05:35] ymmv is short for "Your mileage may vary". It means that someone else's experience with compatibility, performance etc. may not necessarily match yours. Also see !wfm [05:35] will_hough, try fluxbuntu [05:35] does anyone know of a good alternative to rosegarden that works out of the box? I want something that handles midi playback and shows musical notation. [05:35] !fluxbuntu [05:35] fluxbuntu is a LPAE-standard compliant, Ubuntu-based derivative that maintains the goal of running on a wide range of mobile devices and computers (low-end & high-end). It is lightweight, swift and efficient. | Support Channel: #fluxbuntu on freenode | Homepage: http://fluxbuntu.org/ [05:35] Gnea: yes! the problem is I use dwm as my WM. it opens uxterm. uxterm calls xterm. i wonder what might be the issue. [05:36] I would rather try to find out what I need to do to get Ubuntu to run well on this machine. [05:36] nickrud: thanks, but why was the graphical way of disabling it removed? [05:36] owen1: i wonder what dwm uses instead of .xsession [05:37] Gnea: i know it uses xinit. [05:37] how do i do a command line upgrade? [05:37] FelipeS, you can do it for gnome-terminals at edit->profile-preferences->terminal bell [05:37] Gnea: since i have a small script that tell X to run dwm. [05:37] distro upgrade === [baddog] is now known as baddog [05:37] sorry [05:37] dfgas, what kind of upgrade? release to release or just new packages in current release? [05:37] distro upgrade [05:37] dfgas, don't do it. [05:38] dfgas, sudo do-release-upgrade [05:38] owen1: okay, so i have never used dwm before, so i have no idea if xterm is part of the menu or how easy it is to make it become a menu entry [05:38] nickrud: well, that's just barely for the terminal. [05:38] nickrud, k thanks === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [05:38] FelipeS, I just disable it there, cuz it works for all desktops and virtual consoles. One fix for all situations [05:38] nickrud: but I remember there was an option where you could even choose to make the window blink instead of beeping [05:39] Gnea: i can configure it to opon xterm instead of uxterm. what is the differnce? [05:40] FelipeS, yeah, the 'visual bell'. I remember seeing it, but since I disable it completely I never noticed it may be gone. Let me check something [05:40] owen1: the changes you're trying to apply are for xterm, not uxterm (they are 2 different programs) [05:40] can anyone point me to repository of postfix-tls [05:41] jmazaredo: it's already in standard ubuntu repo [05:41] FelipeS, gconf-editor /apps/metacity/general/visual_bell ; that will also show all possible options === alang is now known as iratsu [05:41] when i try to download cannot find the file [05:41] Provides: mail-transport-agent, postfix-tls [05:42] !info postfix [05:42] postfix (source: postfix): High-performance mail transport agent. In component main, is optional. Version 2.5.5-1 (intrepid), package size 1190 kB, installed size 2924 kB [05:42] Gnea: true. i wonder what is the different between them. i can configure dwm to open xterm instead of uxterm. [05:42] jmazaredo: just install postfix, it's already there :) [05:42] thanks for the information [05:42] hey everytime i start ubuntu, i hear two different login files being played [05:42] I only want one [05:43] been thinking of it also thanks for the answer [05:43] owen1: uxterm does unicode [05:43] And i've tried system>preferences>sound and system>administration>login window [05:44] both of them have been changed [05:44] Gnea: so i can read non-english languages? [05:44] owen1: right. so the configuration for uxterm will need to be changed a bit [05:44] Gnea: i don't care since i only read english now. [05:44] can't login to my server with the usual credentials how can i reset it (root) [05:44] owen1: you should be fine then [05:45] Gnea: great, i'll change the header file of dwm. thanks so much! [05:45] nickrud: Thanks, that's what I was looking for. The option to disable the beep was also there. Weird that it was removed from System>Preferences>Sound [05:45] owen1: cheers [05:45] jmazaredo, boot into recovery mode and reset passwords (hit escape when you see something about grub 1.5 early in the boot) [05:45] Gnea: vim in 256 colors. yaaay! [05:45] Gnea: if u have good links for vim color schemes, let me know. [05:46] will it boot even if i have raid 1 in place? [05:46] FelipeS, yeah, some things come and go over time (no rhyme or reason to me). You might want to browse around in that gconf-editor, there's a bunch of unexposed options [05:46] hi can anyone tell me what the hardware requirements are for ubuntu specifically how much ram is needed ??

This way it runs ls only once with multiple args =) [06:06] wireless network manager doesnt let me "configure network" for my driver [06:06] do you guys know of a ping like utility that involves downloading a whole file to test speed? [06:06] Puneet, http://www.hitmill.com/internet/lynx.html is sort of a clearing house of lynx links [06:06] yeah [06:07] search internet speed test [06:07] it downloads a file and uploads a file [06:07] deb, basically cuz the disk has it's own checker in the startup menu. the md5sum check is done on the downloaded iso before you burn.

[06:07] deb: well, you can still run md5sum against your .iso files to make sure that you obtained an authentic .iso, but part of the point there is that you wouldn't waste blank cds in the process [06:08] cli? [06:08] how can i get back my stuff, the default installation stuff? alsactl didnt help [06:08] xikkub: command line. [06:08] oh you mean that [06:08] nitin, you mean overwrite an alsa you compiled yourself? [06:08] i have tried and tried but cannot get a vpn connection to work in 8.10. i have found some workaround for some problems but ultimately vpn connectivity is a bust. [06:08] hmm, i know how to specify ping sizes in xp but not in ubuntu [06:09] gTea: alternatively: find `echo $PATH | sed -e 's/:/ /g'` -type d -ls [06:09] yeah alsa-driver something.18 [06:09] does anyone know anything about fixing the network-manager to get vpns to work in 8.10?

For some reason my dictionary for firefox spell check changed to UK English (I've set my location to los angeles during the install) === chris_ is now known as |Chrizz| [06:17] K^Holtz, ex falso (?) easytag are two I've used [06:17] how can i install new version of bios from linux?

[06:19] xikkub: i think you need to ditch network manager and try wicd or wifi-radar. they can help you set up network. [06:19] hi [06:19] nickrud no i have ubuntu 6.04 LTS standalone now and want to upgrade the os [06:19] i have xfce4.4, and i automatically save session on logout. when i log in again, firefox starts on the current desktop instead of the destop it was running on before, and thunderbird doesn't start at all... [06:19] thanks binmonkey [06:19] deb, ah, what did you download? [06:19] and it's a problem since like forever... and with kde4 it works fine [06:19] deb, 8.10 or 8.04? [06:19] xikkub: or. today i just bought a netgear wpn511 pcmcia card that works out of the box. [06:20] deb, dang 6.04 is from two and a half years ago [06:20] yeah i cant buy another card [06:20] 6.04 is just fine, especially as a server. [06:20] xikkub: you'll still need wifi-radar or wicd to set up, though. dl wicd and let me know how it looks. [06:20] how can i install new version of bios from linux? [06:20] msshams, who makes your motherboard? [06:20] nickrud: thank you. that is a nice program [06:20] okay [06:21] its 1:20am though [06:21] i downloaded both 8.04 and 8.10 wasnt sure which one to go with [06:21] do u have a temp email i can contact you at? [06:21] deb, it really matters about what you downloaded: you can go directly from 6.04(6) to 8.04, but not to 8.10. [06:21] im getting real frustrate [06:21] d [06:21] deb, 8.10 is the newest. be sure to read the release notes [06:21] nhasian: i think intel. my laptop is toshiba [06:21] msshams: see above, www.bootdisks.com, use a windoze bootdisk [06:22] should i go with 8.04 then ? [06:22] msshams, flashing bios can be dangerous. is there a particular reason you need to update? [06:22] xikkub: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ [06:22] . [06:22] yeah i found the site [06:22] but im trying to find where to dl it XD [06:22] deb, I would suggest going from 6.04 to 8.04, if you want to upgrade. However, you can back up your $HOME and do !clone to get your package list, then do a fresh 8.10 install. I'd slightly recommend that [06:23] xikkub: tab that says dl [06:23] yes but where to dl? [06:23] you'll have to edit your repos list. [06:23] nhasian: i update it to new version. but now only ubuntu can works. and my win xp show blue screen of death. i want to downgrade it to old version. [06:23] xikkub: just dl to desktop. [06:23] whens the next LTS going to be released? Anyone know? [06:23] yes i was going to do a clean install was in process of getting ready with all data backups [06:24] but what do i actually download? [06:24] LF|Irssi, 2010 [06:24] thats what im trying to find [06:24] woah [06:24] LF|Irssi, LTS comes one every 2 years. [06:24] next will be 10.4 [06:24] nickrud what is that !clone to get package list ?? [06:24] dang, i shoulda stuck with 8.04 then! [06:24] xikkub: nm. you're going to add the wicd repo to your list and install it using aptitude command. [06:24] LF|Irssi, http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/146 [06:24] LF|Irssi, why, you have a webserver? [06:24] yeah [06:24] but i have no internet [06:25] msshams, thats too bad. did you try resetting your bios to factory defaults after you flashed it? [06:25] so i must do manually with deb package [06:25] Then you should jajaja. [06:25] i wasnt thinking when i moved to 8.10, but i wanted the very newest :) [06:25] well try the liveCD if it works fine, then upgrade. [06:25] heh. I still have all my server stuff on a lenny box 'out there' [06:25] nhasian: no! from where i can do it? [06:26] or do as I do. work computer for work, fun computer for fun :-) [06:26] xikkub: sorry. do you have a wired connection you can plug into? [06:26] if i lug my computer downstairs to my router [06:26] cant i dl the packages manually? [06:26] msshams, after you update the bios you are support to clear the bios of any old settings. usually there is a LOAD DEFAULT SETTINGs button or something similar in the bios. [06:27] how will you dl a .deb w/o internet? [06:27] xikkub: how will you dl a .deb w/o internet? [06:27] well im on xp right now with internet [06:27] binMonkey, thats a good question :) [06:27] xikkub: lug it, boy! [06:27] and i have jumpdrive and ubuntu next to me [06:27] nhasian: so, i go to bios. then reset settings? [06:27] so ..... XD [06:28] msshams, yes. hopefully that will clear up any issues your having. === elEment is now known as Guest29250 [06:28] xikkub: ok. scroll to bottom of page: other distros, and dl source. [06:28] mon: k, one sec [06:28] aghhhhhh [06:28] nhasian: ok, let me to reboot then test it. thank you. [06:28] ahhh [06:28] I just got ubuntu up and running on my laptop, having issues with setting up a static IP. Could I use the network manager to do that? [06:28] i see it [06:29] i soooo want to get wiring in my house [06:29] xikkub: i would go downstairs, though. i'm a little drunk, though. so maybe i wouldn't. [06:29] hehe [06:29] * nickrud thinks that full disclosure is a fine ting [06:30] xikkub, its so worth it. make sure to get cat6e [06:30] *thing [06:30] thats 6 [06:30] yeah i know that [06:30] hey all, i am using openbox and have the multimedia keys bound to control mpd. but the response is really slow. [06:30] cat 5, 6, 6a [06:30] 5e [06:30] the most expensive thing is getting the electrician actually do it [06:30] nhasian: i think i should have asked before how he was ircing w/o internet. [06:30] hahaha [06:30] * nhasian laughs [06:30] naw, ive got 6 computers next to me [06:31] xikkub: follow the instructions to edit your repos [06:31] i got wicd.deb on ubu [06:31] xikkub: update, and aptitude install. [06:31] holy crap there are a lot of people in here today [06:31] i need to uninstall nework manager [06:31] can someone help me get MIDI playback working in linux? I have tools like tuxguitar and the virtual midi keyboard that I just cna't get to make a sound [06:31] apt install? [06:31] from cd? [06:31] i dont have internet [06:32] not really ive seen 1500+ in here easily [06:32] mon: ...on ubuntu at least [06:32] LF|Irssi, how do you keep track of conversations? [06:32] mon: so i should uninstall network manager [06:32] ok for deb do: sudo dpkg -i nameofdeb.deb [06:32] okay [06:32] just rub your eyes a lot heh, [06:33] mon: thats without uninstalling net manager? [06:33] yes. uninstall it. [06:33] so uninstal, then sudo blah [06:33] So I have these two .tar.gz files on my desktop, and I'd like to install them. In order to do that, I'm supposed to run a ./configure file inside first, then go through and compile them. How do I run this ./configure command? [06:33] terminal [06:33] what's the syntax? [06:33] just ./configure [06:33] LF|Irssi, doesnt irssi run in a terminal w/o a gui? thats oldschool like BitchX [06:33] nickrud if i were to upgrade from 6.04 to 8.04 how would I do that? Or is there an option on the 8.04 cd for that ? [06:34] yeah nhasian [06:34] ikyn: cd to where .configure is then ./configure. [06:34] deb, when you insert the 8.04 disk into the machine while 6.04 is running, it should offer to upgrade [06:34] offtopic but since you asked, irssi is really nice once you get all the scripts for it and what not :) [06:35] deb, if it doesn't, try running update-manager -c in a terminal [06:35] LF|Irssi, what scripts you recommend for it? [06:35] mon: i should uninstall network-manager, network-manager-gnome, libnm-util0, libnm-glib0? [06:35] nickrud would all the packages that I am currently using still remain in the upgrade ? [06:36] deb, yes, it'll upgrade everything, from the kernel to openoffice [06:36] one sec nhasian let me get the link [06:36] mon: it seems like all 4 pertain to the network manager [06:36] deb, even stuff that has been dropped (that is, was in 6.04 but is not in 8.04) will stay on your machine. [06:37] "network management framework" [06:37] nickrud: so it is possible to upgrade directly from 6.04 to 8.04 and skip all the "in between" releases? [06:37] hi [06:37] xikkub: yes. [06:38] whyameye, yes, lts->lts is supported. [06:38] nhasian: here ya go http://scripts.irssi.org/ [06:38] i can find hardware support list for ubuntu 8.10 ? [06:38] mon: okay i will uninstall all 4 [06:38] whyameye, you might find http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/146 interesting reading [06:38] mon: should i do a complete removal?

[10:04] Mechdave it says in "DRIVER Organizer thing" That the 802.11 is no priorty driver atheros card in use? [10:04] LOL I'm amazed that just popped in my head [10:04] Mechdave that doesn't mean ubuntu recognises the card, that is just a match to pciid's file [10:05] klaim: cos you're on a P3?

[10:14] * Serraphyn wishes Mechdave and ikonia good luck on the next few parts [10:14] I just replaced g++ version 4.3 by 4.2, but now it won't create a proper link from /usr/bin/g++ to /usr/bin/g++-4.2. Shouldn't Ubuntu be smart enough to do this by its own? Is this a bug? [10:14] cosmodad I would have thought so [10:14] cosmodad, you downgraded? [10:15] Serraphyn: g++? yes. [10:15] cosmodad: what does the /etc/alternatives file show ? [10:15] Serraphyn, thanks :) [10:15] cosmodad, something wrong with 4.3? [10:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/73297/ [10:15] NewFAQs, http://paste.ubuntu.com/73297/ [10:15] * NewFAQs Waits to know what to paste in that box. === E-XtraCt is now known as XtraCt^eSr === XtraCt^eSr is now known as E-XtraCt [10:15] Serraphyn: it wouldn't compile a specific project with 4.3, so I wanted to try 4.2. [10:15] ikonia: I checked that, but actually there is neither a g++ nor gcc link in /etc/alternatives. [10:16] NewFAQs, Ok now do a dmesg > pastefile.txt in a terminal [10:16] cosmodad: most odd [10:16] cosmodad: waht does "which g++" show [10:16] ikonia: empty. [10:16] NewFAQs, then gedit pastefile.txt [10:16] newfaqs@Acer:~$ dmesg > pastefile.txt [10:16] newfaqs@Acer:~$ [10:16] hi, how do I empty trash from the commandline? [10:17] ikonia: the only g++-related binary in /usr/bin is g++-4.2. [10:17] sinan: oic [10:17] then select all and paste it into the content box [10:17] Ok i am not going to bother, Is there any other linux beter than this? [10:17] NewFAQs, then select all and paste it into the content box [10:17] Nothing came up when i did that [10:18] NewFAQs, they all are pretty much the same when it comes to WiFi issue. If you don't want to take a few minutes withsomeone go back to some mindless OS like Mac or winblows [10:18] I can't find the trash folder from the terminal [10:18] I just typed that in a terminal and nothing happened? [10:18] Serraphyn: it's called windows please [10:18] !trash [10:18] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [10:18] ikonia: so old isnt it [10:18] ActionParsnip: agreed [10:18] ActionParsnip: thanks :) [10:19] No offence, but if windows XP can run wireless and this can't well obviously its clear to which OS is better. [10:19] ikonia, no thanks, since XP it lost that name [10:19] NewFAQs, It does take a lot of working out to get all things going... It took me a good 3 months to get myself half confident when I started [10:19] NewFAQs: your welcoem to chose your OS [10:19] NewFAQs: sorry, welcome to choose your OS [10:19] NewFAQs: in your case, if thats how you determine quality, then yes absolutely [10:19] Mechdave can you PM me please. [10:19] NewFAQs, enjoy spending like 2 grand getting the same benifits from windows you get from ubuntu [10:19] NewFAQs: i pretty much garuntee ndiswrapper will make it work [10:19] NewFAQs, sure [10:20] i tried installing nds wrapper and i couldnt work out the command lines === sepperl is now known as stups [10:20] NewFAQs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31926 [10:21] Now how can i install .rpm packages in ubuntu 8.04 [10:22] bmagoha: you really shouldnt, you should try to find .deb or compile source [10:22] have the names of libqt4 components been changed in intrepid? cos i cant install skype anymore... [10:22] bmagoha: rpm's are not meant for ubuntu, what software are you looking for ? [10:22] bmagoha: if you REALLY have to you can use alien [10:22] bmagoha, I thought I saw a prog called rpm2deb, might google it [10:22] !alien | bmagoha [10:22] bmagoha: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [10:22] NewFAQs: it's not like it's ubuntu/linux fault if your wlan card maker doesn't provide proper drivers for it [10:22] (replace quite with VERY) [10:23] * ActionParsnip points out Creatives excellent Windows support :D:D:D [10:23] NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[10:25] see ya guys gonna go cuddle with hubby [10:25] Serraphyn: Thanks checking [10:26] ActionParsnip: do you happen to know if qt libraries have been renamed in intrpid? cos i get errors when attempting to install skype but its basically there just with another name... [10:26] hey this is a live usb, there is no /boot/grub [10:26] * paul68 joining Actionparsnip telling that the same goes for the linux support from creative ;-) [10:26] bmagoha, lots of hits on google with just rpm2dev, might read some threads on it, don't know how good it works [10:26] remoteCTR1: afaik, no should be ok. you may have to symlink some :( [10:26] and btw its menu.lst [10:26] ActionParsnip: seems so... [10:27] * Serraphyn wonders off to bed [10:27] nabilgod: what is a live usb? [10:27] 64bit flash native by adobe!!! http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ yeeeeee. 2 more gigs and i am out for 64! [10:28] Ohh Ubuntu lets you install the live cd to a USB pen drive, but it alows for persistance [10:28] how can i delete lvm groups in alternate intallation ? [10:28] but it boots just like a live cd with crappy options, but i can't find where to change the grub startup [10:29] pvandewyngaerde you need to remoev all the logical volumes, deactivate teh group, remove the disks, then remove the volume group [10:29] but they are in use, i can not remove them [10:30] !bootoptions | nabilgod [10:30] nabilgod: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [10:30] pvandewyngaerde then you need to umount them [10:30] pvandewyngaerde: how do you expect to remove a volume group if it's in use [10:30] is is not mounted, it is free space [10:31] pvandewyngaerde then what is using the volume group ? [10:31] what is a transitional package? [10:31] i wanted to create an encrypted partition, but in auto mode it wastes my space to swap space [10:32] pvandewyngaerde what is using the volume group [10:32] remoteCTR1: When a package changes names (or is replaced, etc), the oldpackage sticks around for a release, so people upgrading get the new one. [10:32] Flannel: can i install both verions simultaneously? [10:32] remoteCTR1: for example, when gaim was renamed to pidgin, the release where gaim didn't exist (but pidgin did), "gaim" was still a package, which depended solely on "pidgin" [10:33] remoteCTR1: No, the old version doesn't exist. It merely depends on the new version as a package. [10:33] i have a lvm vg eeepc lv root and a lvm vg eeepc lv swap , using lvm on sda1 crypt [10:33] Flannel: oh i see so if i apt-get install the old version it installs the new one and puts a link top it? [10:33] to not top [10:34] remoteCTR1: No, the old one doesn't get installed. Transitional packages exist solely for package manager purposes, not for files on your system. [10:34] remoteCTR1: It's not a "real" package, which is why its labelled transitional. [10:34] i can remove the partitions, in the lvm vg, but not the lvm itself [10:34] Flannel: so i also cant install it, what do i do to get my skype installation running then? [10:35] Use Ekiga? [10:35] * apeiron ducks [10:35] remoteCTR1: What do you mean? What does skype depend on thats a transitional package? [10:35] Flannel: i just tryed by setting a softlink to the new versions but that dont work [10:35] Flannel: exactly [10:35] remoteCTR1: No, that was a question. Do you not have skype as a deb? [10:36] Flannel: screams for libqt4-core and -gui but those now are named libqtcore4 and libqtgui4 [10:36] how can i reinstall my sound driver in ubuntu? [10:36] remoteCTR1: Get a package for your Ubuntu version (that one is for an older version) [10:36] Flannel: i do have it as .deb but as said when i dpkg -i that it screams [10:36] Flannel: well there is no other on the homepage [10:37] remoteCTR1: This is for Intrepid? [10:37] remoteCTR1: Whats wrong with the version in medibuntu? [10:38] Flannel: it is for ubuntu 7.04+ and ther is no other on skypes homepage [10:38] Flannel: i guess nothing but i am not running medibuntu... [10:38] I'm having REALLY big problems with setting up a LDAP client on intrepid [10:38] remoteCTR1: You can download the package from medibuntu separately. [10:38] !medibuntu | remoteCTR1 [10:39] remoteCTR1: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [10:39] Any LDAP experts around ? [10:39] hello all [10:39] Flannel: welli welli welli dont lough at me please but i just tryed out what happens if i try n install that transitional package, and you know what? it worked:D [10:39] Flannel: skype installed and running [10:40] my server is not resolving names example yahoo.com [10:40] remoteCTR1: Even if the package works, skype may not (and it might act oddly even if it runs). You really should just get the completely up to date version from medibuntu [10:40] M0badedr: add some public dns servers to /etc/resolv.conf [10:40] Flannel: that a point.. [10:40] ok let me try [10:40] Flannel: very vell will do so, thanks alot!:) [10:41] thanks jim_p :) [10:41] hahaha [10:41] you are welcome theFariztha [10:41] M0badedr: http://66.37.153.109/public-dns-servers.shtml [10:42] Flannel: one more i got as you seem to be familiar with medibuntu: can you create home vids with that? meaning are there tools to create home vids for linux?

[11:59] amias: just remember its FOSS and has no warranty.

[12:19] jobe: it should be auto detected IIRC , have you looked for supporting packages to configure it ? [12:19] Rada: ask ati - it's nothing to do with ubuntu [12:19] I'm sad. When ever I put a command into the terminal is logs me out. :( [12:19] Where is the transmission config file located? [12:19] ikonia: I know. [12:19] Rada: so why come in here ranting about it [12:20] Louis, ~/.transmission , but use the GUI [12:20] amias: thanks, but i'm running it in daemon mode [12:20] can you set up a static IP on a wireless network? [12:20] wanna add some fancy icons but no mater what I do I can't change icons...any ideas guys ? [12:21] woody86: yes [12:21] ikonia: Because 8.10 breaks compatibility (ie: the system can start X) [12:21] what is the command to list the contents of a directory? [12:21] amias: yes, I've installed the packages, and it is detected and works, but only minimally. As it says in the wacom wiki, if you want anything more than the most basic functionality you have to edit xorg.conf in the old fashioned way. but unfortunatly none of the sections are there to edit any more, so you have to add them yourself, but if I do that then everything goes kaput :( is there a guide to adding missing sections in xorg.conf when its empty as in ibex? [12:21] woody86: of course [12:21] ikonia: 8.04 has a driver that works [12:21] Louis: ls [12:21] Louis: ls (-all) [12:21] thanks! [12:21] !mercury [12:21] Rada: no it doesn't the drives + card support are the issue [12:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about mercury [12:21] Louis, ls ?? [12:21] !cli > Louis [12:21] Louis, please see my private message [12:21] Louis, you could find out by tracing it , try strace -e open /path/to/daemon , this will show you all the files it opens , one will be the config file [12:21] Louis, man ls [12:22] lol, soundray, i've been on the cli the whole time... [12:22] does any body uses Mercury? [12:22] aah nvm! there's a link to the guide! [12:22] thank you! [12:22] jobe, bummer , somebody must have done this on the forums somewhere [12:22] Louis: the document linked there is likely to answer your next question === no is now known as Nilsy [12:22] soundray: yeah just saw that, sorry! [12:23] i have an idea [12:23] brenlae, that would be first for this channel [12:23] hello [12:23] soundray, can I make it where I can connect to other networks as well and just have my home network be static? [12:23] amias: yes, I've been looking, but most posts I've found just say 'if the sections arent already there then add them' but if I do this then I get problems, and I dont know why [12:24] how would i say, download build-essential (the entire package) and then copy it over to a linux partition (basically so i can compile the rt2870 drivers) [12:24] is that possible? [12:24] i can't find the config file anywhere in .transmission [12:24] * brenlae is on windows atm :( [12:24] jobe, well your config must be wrong , have you looked at /var/log/Xorg.0.log or similar ? [12:25] woody86: yes -- use "Edit Connections" (right click on the network manager applet) [12:25] ok [12:25] amias: hmm, no, will it have entries for previous boots? because I wont be able to read it until I replace xorg.conf with the backup version and reboot [12:25] soundray, if i sang a song about snowmen would that freak you out ? [12:26] brenlae: boot to linux, go to synaptic, let it build you a script for downloading the packages missing, save that script somewhere you can access in Windows, and use that as a guide to download the packages [12:26] amias: pardon? [12:26] brenlae: the script itself wont probably run, but you can still use it as a list of packages [12:26] jobe, it will always be the last boot , have a look for other Xorg.*.log files [12:26] I get the following error when booting: root-nfs:no nfs server available. this isn't supposed to be booting from a NFS. how do I find out where that is specified? [12:27] soundray, ah ok , you are not the person i thought you where , sorry for the confusion [12:27] Myrtti, sweet idea [12:27] does any body uses Mercury? [12:27] how do i find my gateway? [12:27] Dillizar: why is it interessing if anybody use it? just aks your question [12:27] Myrtti, i did go to packages.ubuntu.com but when i went to download it the file was only like 4 kb on average [12:27] woody86: netstat -rn [12:27] Myrtti, where do i get the full package? [12:27] mfoniso, when booting via grub , edit the boot params (e) and remove slient or quiet to see more messages about your error [12:28] ikonia, thanks :) [12:28] (that was for build-essential [12:28] brenlae: build-essential is a virtual package that doesn't actually contain any software, it pulls the needed dependencies only [12:28] amias: so I have to read the log file in cli? because -> change xorg.conf -> reboot -> hangs -> reboot in failsafe -> replace xorg.conf with backup -> reboot -> logfiles no longer refer to the hanging boot :( [12:28] I cant set my camera on Mercury! [12:28] oh [12:28] hey i jst deleted an important file with chift-delete, how can i get it back? [12:28] amias:will do that [12:28] gerhard is it in the trash bind ? [12:28] bin [12:28] !jmf [12:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about jmf [12:28] no [12:28] gerhard: then it's gone [12:29] oh really [12:29] damn it [12:29] jobe, when you say hangs do you mean the computer locks solid or X doesn't start and it asks if you want to read the logs ? [12:29] do you guys think this machine has good specs for a development (postgresql,mysql,tomcat,apache http, dev in python,C++ and java ) machine ? [12:29] any ideas how to print from a vmware ubuntu? [12:29] amias:I don't silent or quiet are specified though... the errors seem pretty verbose [12:29] ColOfNature you need to setup some sort of hardware pbridging, the guys in #vmware can help [12:29] ikonia: cheers [12:29] gerhard, you could switch the machine of right now and restore it with another , it will take most of a day [12:30] do you guys think this machine has good specs for a development (postgresql,mysql,tomcat,apache http, dev in python,C++ and java ) machine : http://system76.com/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=81 ? [12:30] i see [12:30] amias: well I think the comp hasnt frozen, but monitor says out of range or frequency or something, so there is no video output at all, so my only option is to reboot (I tried gettin cli from that situation 'blind' by ctrl + alt + F2 type thing, but nothing responds to my keyboard input) [12:30] mfoniso, what does the root= option say ? [12:31] amias: most likely that its just video output that is stopped, not actual processes - i think alt + sysrq +b works, so kernel is still running [12:31] but how about the program "magicrescue" [12:31] jobe, hold ctrl+alt+F2 for a bit longer , [12:31] i just saw it when searching for ubuntu file recovery tools [12:31] gerhard try it [12:31] ok im installing it [12:31] but you dont have much hope for that try? [12:31] gerhard, no [12:31] gerhard not really, [12:32] amias: "root=/dev/sda1 vga=normal showopts" [12:32] hm i see [12:32] amias: ok. what would I use to view the files from cli? echo? nano? or should I boot up livecd and access the logs that way so no other reboot takes place? [12:32] when i restarted my networking it says "ignoring unknown device eth1=eth1" but eth1 is the device I set to be static, is this ok? [12:32] does anybody knows how i can set my camera on Mercury [12:32] ok [12:33] mfoniso, does that error actually stop the machien booting ? nfs says all kinds of things that you can ignore , do you actually use nfs ? [12:33] name a server ubuntu connects to so i can hunt for packages that way [12:33] er nvm [12:33] Is there a way to make the terminal automatically look different when Im in an ssh session, its far too easy to accidently do something on the remote? [12:33] nope, not using nfs, but the error does stop the machine booting... [12:33] http://pastebin.com/m28b71f6a [12:34] jobe, a livece might help but first i would try removing any graphics setup options from you xorg.cofn [12:34] what is th use of this command apt-cache [12:34] hi [12:34] mankash interact witht he apt-cache archive === metbsd is now known as Guest59615 [12:34] I have downloaded ubuntu iso, how can i check its md5sum?

[12:35] Hi! Automount suddenly stopped working! (8.10) [12:35] jaakkome, there is something like in openoffice.org , its not the same , look at their site for more info [12:36] Can you run Access under wine or such, and/or how compatible Kexi or something would be with it? [12:36] jaakkome, she could always have windows in a virtual machine for using access [12:36] i can't seem to do a dcc send no matter what i try. i'm behind a router, but even though i've mapped the ports, and created a policy in firestarter, ubuntu still stops dcc sends. [12:36] amias: like remove "Screen "Default Screen"" from server layout and its corresponding section further down? because there is a section for nvidia but its not listed in serverlayout - maybe it should be in there? but by default the nvidia entry is there, but there is no serverlayout section at all, so maybe thats causing problems, that ve added a new serverlayout section but not added the nvidia device which is listed....? [12:36] Hey guys, havin some troubles with Ethernet in Intrpid, got a Marvell one, now i did read some problems its had on forums but these were with past releases. basically cant even ping to my router, wireless works fine. used to work fine in other releases, any ideas?

[12:50] any help? [12:50] how to upgrade openoffice [12:50] mib with what ? [12:50] assess external hard drive [12:51] can someone check this site to see if you get sound. http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=python+programming# [12:51] soundray : how? [12:51] mib whats the problem ? [12:51] with mounting problem [12:51] !kdeworldclock [12:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about kdeworldclock [12:51] JuJuBee: what kind of filesystem is it? [12:51] ext3 [12:51] thanx [12:51] i connect my xhdd via usb in ubuntu [12:51] mfoniso: sometimes being nice doesnt help too - check http://srikrishnadas.wordpress.com/2008/11/16/nut-heads-on-irc/ [12:51] in ubuntu 8.10 how do i upgrade from openoffice 2.4 to 3.0 [12:51] mib: if you go to places -> computer menu do you see the disk in there ? [12:51] anybody knows that [12:52] i can see the Volumnes in the hdd but cant access data there [12:52] realkrish: lol, checking it out [12:52] yeah [12:52] i can see the disks.. [12:52] hi i am on dual boot. and going to format windows xp. i am sure it is gonna screw up my ubuntu install. what steps i shall take to not affec tthis? backup grun and restore it later? [12:52] JuJuBee: sudo tune2fs -L label /dev/sdb1 (please read man tune2fs before you go ahead) [12:52] kanhiya78 it's not updated in the repo [12:52] mib: ok, so what's the issue, you can access it from there [12:52] but when i click on them, it pops up error [12:52] soundray : thanks, i'll read [12:52] realkrish: ? [12:52] i suspect its the filesystem [12:52] mib: what error [12:52] kanhiya78: it's best to wait for a backport [12:52] cannot mount [12:52] !backports > kanhiya78 [12:52] kanhiya78, please see my private message [12:52] thanks ikonia for takin a look at that for me, ill play around and see what i can come up with :-) [12:53] zorrolero: no problem [12:53] is it because filesystem incompatibility [12:53] mfoniso, i really dont know , the only place you could specify a nfs root filesystem would be in your bootloader , probably grub [12:53] mib: what file system is on it ? [12:53] amias: I've checked there :-( [12:53] when i change some icons in customize appearance they do not work why? [12:53] ubuntu is ext3 [12:53] mfoniso, do you want it to boot from nfs ? [12:53] mib: what file system is on the external drive [12:53] amias:no [12:54] mfonsio: can it boot in recovery mode ? [12:54] yo yo yo [12:54] and i guess xternal hard disk is NTFS [12:54] I'd like to find out where it's being told to do that so I can stop it [12:54] mib can you find out ? [12:54] mib: rather than guess [12:54] okie.hold on. [12:54] now finidhg out [12:54] ajuonline: nah its me krish [12:54] amias, it might be in the initramfs , this is a the mini system it uses to start up the machine [12:55] mib: sudo fdisk -l will tell you [12:55] ActionParsnip: hello when i change some icons in customize appearance they do not work why? [12:55] amias, the other options specify kernel images that don't exist [12:55] soundray : would I use sudo tune2fs -L EXTERNAL_HD /dev/sdb2 ? [12:55] sry /dev/sdb1 [12:55] realkrish: i know. but how come you are here :P [12:55] ValentineXX: maybe you need to restart x servrer. I dont use icons much so im not much help [12:55] tiredbones: yes, there's sound. [12:55] JuJuBee: sounds correct to me, if /dev/sdb is the external device [12:55] amias: heh, im still reading that thread you posted and the one it flows into, about 3/4 done :) [12:56] It is... [12:56] ActionParsnip: gtk smooth has not been installed some features may not work <- what is this error message [12:56] realkrish: the fact that he threatened to report to a so-called cybercrime division shows he isn't very clued up about how this works. Anyway you handled it well. [12:56] ActionParsnip: how to restart x server [12:56] ajuonline: what! you presume I dont use ubuntu [12:56] HPFS/NTFS [12:56] JuJuBee: run sync ; sync and then replug it to check if it has worked [12:56] mfoniso: it also shows how little knowledge can be dangerous [12:56] mfoniso, grub has tab completion for filenames , you can correct the path to the kernel image in edit mode [12:56] hello! Anybody help me with Sata2Pata rollback? :) [12:56] I never did this before, how come I need to now after a re-install of hte OS? It used to just automount... I checked the "AutoMount" box in properties for HD... [12:57] alisoviy why ? [12:57] ValentineXX: my guess is sudo apt-get install gtk-smooth-engine [12:57] after tune2fs? [12:57] alisoviy: you mean libata ? [12:57] JuJuBee: sorry, I misunderstood your question [12:57] ikonia, i have a slow perfomance into sata... System works like DMA is OFF [12:58] !woody [12:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about woody [12:58] amias: there's only one kernel image so I guess I'll try the same for the other options [12:58] ikonia: i have two pc, one is laptop and the other one is desktop..the one with laptop can assess the x hdd. [12:58] alisoviy ok , [12:58] the xhdd is HPFS/NTFS [12:58] alisoviy: is it an ide or sata disk ? [12:58] mc lists for my file /media/tmp: "Owner name: root; Group name:999." In /etc/group I can find 'root'. But I cannot find '999'. What does mean "Group name:999"? [12:58] JuJuBee: I thought you didn't like the name of the mount point. I didn't know it wasn't mounting at all [12:58] soundray : do I run sync after running tune2fs? [12:58] ikonia, IDE [12:58] ActionParsnip: huhuhuhu that was not a package, i look in synaptic [12:58] mib: thats not what I asked [12:58] alisoviy: what does hdtune show? [12:58] ikonia, w8 [12:58] ok. [12:58] Correct, not mounting at all ... unless I manually mount. [12:58] i have checked the x hdd its HPFS/NTFS [12:59] mfoniso, looks to me like you have hosed your system , i would just book via a livecd and backup your data then reinstall [12:59] ValentineXX: use terminal, synaptic is sloooow [12:59] s/book/boot/ [12:59] mib ok, so attempt to mount it manually [12:59] ikonia, command not found :( [12:59] how can i make .bin in to .deb? [12:59] soundray : As a result, I have to manually unmount. [12:59] * ValentineXX is switching between his ubuntu themes again and again. [13:00] even with different flesystem? [13:00] ValentineXX: im not a gtk guy, I use kde [13:00] mib ntfs is fine [13:00] soundray : get error about Device to unmount is not in /media/.hal-mtab so it is not mounted by HAL [13:00] Dillizar: since you asked like that I assume you're not experienced with packaging.. or? [13:00] what command should i use to link ntfs with ext3(desktop) [13:00] Dillizar: what do you want to do? [13:00] amias: I'm trying to setup a server from an image created using partimage.... [13:00] ActionParsnip: what are gtk and kde? [13:00] hi i m new to irc i want to join forzilla fire fox official community so kindly tell me the steps....to do so. [13:00] so I've restored the image to the partition [13:01] ikonia, how can i tell to kernel to use HDX prefixes insteed of SDX? [13:01] ValentineXX: gtk == gnome tool kit, Kde == K desktop environment [13:01] and I'm trying to boot from that [13:01] <[Dim__]> hi [13:01] > hi i m new to irc i want to join forzilla fire fox official community so kindly tell me the steps....to do so. [13:01] alisoviy: sdx means sata / scsi, hdx = parallel ata [13:01] my videos are wrong showed, it is as blinking (the dessktop is showed a bit every a little time), how to fix it? [13:01] JuJuBee: can you open gconf-editor and find the key /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/automount_drives and see if it's ticked [13:01] alisoviy you don't need to [13:01] akit_gupta: don't they have some kind of tutorial/site with some information? [13:01] alisoviy: what does hdtune say [13:01] Slart: i am trying to install JMF [13:01] ActionParsnip, i know.. so what i must to do to rollback to PATA? [13:02] mfoniso, well its obviously not a ubuntu issue and the server you are trying to connect to is obviously not there anymore [13:02] ikonia, i don`t have it.. [13:02] alisoviy: you don't need to roll back [13:02] what command should i use ikonia for the mount [13:02] ActionParsnip: oh yes i am gnome desktop user [13:02] alisoviy: that functionality is gone [13:02] alisoviy: install it [13:02] mib: mount [13:02] ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:02] ValentineXX: i use kde [13:02] Dillizar: and why do you need to create a deb from a bin-file? [13:02] ikonia: heh [13:02] alisoviy: try hdparm [13:02] ikonia, apt-get install hdtune fails [13:02] soundray : gconf-tool? gconf-editor not an option. [13:02] enough [13:03] JuJuBee: why not? [13:03] amias:yup, you're right [13:03] Slart: cuz when i install it like bin it cant be installed i dont know i want to try the easyest way deb :P [13:03] akit_gupta: I cant find anything on this forzilla, do you knwo the name of the server? [13:03] amias:but this wouldn't be distro-specific would it? [13:03] ValentineXX: http://www.debianhelp.org/node/4036 [13:03] soundray : is it because I use kubuntu [13:03] ikonia, http://www.pastebin.ru/298527 here is result [13:04] Dillizar: the reason a deb is easier is because someone else has done a lot of the hard work.. you can't just run a command and convert it [13:04] JuJuBee: then I can't help you. Ask in #kubuntu [13:04] #cakes [13:04] soundray : just ran sync unplugged drive and when I plugged in again it mounted this time... Not sure why or what I did... haven't run tune2fs yet... [13:05] join #network [13:05] ikonia, ActionParsnip, so i feel very poor HD perfomance.. Looks like DMA option is OFF.. [13:05] soundray : Thanks for the assistance anyway. [13:05] alisoviy: then turn it on in xorg.conf [13:05] alisoviy: pastebin.ru has some quality ads! [13:05] ikonia, ActionParsnip, and i know, that SATA no longer support this feature (DMA) [13:05] oh dma, my bad === mondo is now known as CorpusCallosum [13:05] Dillizar: you'd be better off trying to install it from the bin file.. if it isn't already available in the repos but I guess you've checked that [13:05] hi there [13:05] alisoviy: then you need a new piece of hardware, logically? [13:05] alisoviy: your not using sata though [13:06] alisoviy: you could tune its performance with hdparam [13:06] hi all [13:06] i have a serious problem with Ubuntu, Grub doesnt work... I get Error 17 [13:06] can anyone help me? i use a HP Compaq NX 6110 laptop [13:06] noob-africa: I bet mutiple abrupt reboots [13:06] in archlinux I wrote ide-disk, ide in mkinitcpio.conf and recompile initrd file.. and all worked fine [13:07] alisoviy: look at the -I and -p modes on the hdparm settings [13:07] it's two weeks now i cant boot up [13:07] alisoviy: your not using arch [13:07] noob-africa: you got your ubuntu disk? [13:07] boot through that [13:07] krish: well, i was using it, suddenly it started freezing up, GNOME components started disappearing [13:07] hi i have a question i am buying a new notebook but i dont know if the graphical card and wireless adaptor are suitable or not. Geforce 9650GT and intel prowireless 5300 ? [13:08] ActionParsnip, ikonia, I wanna say, that ubuntu kernel can`t work with PATA? [13:08] any idea ? [13:08] krish: i have a problem detecting the CD... last week the CD drive could be detected, now it isnt [13:08] "use /nick kommireddi" [13:08] hi there [13:08] i have to run a su in a cript [13:08] but i want the system to not ask for the password [13:08] how can i do that? [13:09] CorpusCallosum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=906865 [13:09] noob-africa: sigh. does your bios support usb boot? [13:09] krish: yes, it does... [13:09] Sensei_: don't use su. Run the script with sudo. [13:09] Sensei_: as a last resort you can pipe the password from a file to the sudo command [13:09] ikonia, ActionParsnip, *you wanna say.. [13:09] soundray i mean sudo [13:10] noob-africa: get some distro on usb, boot through that [13:10] alisoviy: say what ? [13:10] Sensei_: if you put sudo in the script, if you sudo the password will be used for the whole thing [13:10] noob-africa: or you'd probably want to give it for service to a hardware vendor [13:10] Sensei_: check the man page for sudo.. I think it's even mentioned there [13:10] krish: i dont have my laptop with me at the moment... [13:10] CD drive helps a lot [13:10] * krish bangs his head [13:10] ikonia, ActionParsnip, that ubuntu kernel does`t support of PATA? [13:10] alisoviy: check into hdparam, you cn tweak throughput quite a lot and get a lot of extra speed, the failsafes are garbage but will work on any drive [13:10] krish: you mean it IS possible to boot through an USB flash disk? [13:10] alisoviy: yes it does [13:10] alisoviy it does support pata, your using a pata disk [13:10] yes it IS [13:10] alisoviy: all my drives are pata [13:10] krish: or would it better to boot through an external USB drive? [13:11] yeah i understand but i have in a script "sudo /etdgted/xxx.sh" [13:11] ActionParsnip: huh? if you use sudo the script will be run as root already, or? [13:11] noob-africa: whats the difference? [13:11] it's a script calling another script [13:11] ActionParsnip: you have an idea for the geforce 9650 gt [13:11] the point is since the harddisk and cddrive have given up, use the other resource - usb [13:12] krish: i guess, with an USB external drive, the ONLY data that should be there should be the distro, right? [13:12] or get the cddrive repaired/replaced [13:12] !hcl | CorpusCallosum [13:12] CorpusCallosum: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [13:12] ikonia, ActionParsnip, so tell me how to rollback to PATA from SATA and that`s all :) I don`t need to tune my drive opts.. I want to rollback to PATA and simply turn on DMA.. [13:12] Sensei_: you should run the "outer" script with sudo [13:12] alisoviy: you need a pata disk [13:12] noob-africa: i dont get it [13:12] alisoviy your using libata - you don't roll back anything, that part of glibc is not theer any more [13:12] Sensei_: I suppose you could modify the sudo configuration to not need a password for just your script.. it's a big security hole but it will work I think [13:12] could you rephrase [13:12] i can't this script execute itself with lirc [13:12] krish: yea, the cd drive could be damaged... [13:13] noob-africa: get that replaced/diagonised [13:13] hello,guys,anyone can install vmware-tools on ubuntu 8.10 guest? [13:13] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/11/14/install-google-earth-on-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex/ [13:13] ActionParsnip: thanks [13:13] and then follow http://microdotsagamedev.wordpress.com/2007/06/08/repair-your-grub-loader/ [13:13] alisoviy: you need to set the correct options on your disk, or maybe even do some bottleneck tuning to find out if it's your disk, or a the later version of your controller driver for example [13:13] krish: i mean, with external usb drive, since it could contain other data, if it must be a bootable drive, the only data that should be there should be an exact copy of the LiveCD, right? [13:13] Hi - how do i disable the opacity on inactive windows in kde? [13:13] noob-africa: nah [13:13] ActionParsnip, ikonia, i dunno what params i must to tune in HD.. [13:14] ActionParsnip, i am perfectly worked with PATA in Archlinux.. [13:14] alisoviy: id have a web browse, it wont let you set stuff taht wont work [13:14] alisoviy I gave you an example [13:14] noob-africa: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_to_a_USB_Flash_Drive [13:14] Does anyone know whether HP recalled the nx6110? Where would I find out if they did? Someone down here told me there was a manufacturer's defect: Error 1782-Hard Disk Controller failure [13:14] 79 updates today? O_O or they just uploaded fake daily image [13:14] I have a usb hard drive that shows up in gparted as being completely unallocated, but it mounts just fine as a fat32 partition, I am confused as all hell, any suggestions on how to reconcile the differences? [13:15] ActionParsnip, ikonia sht..( Ok, thanks.. ,) [13:15] noob-africa: you could look on the HP web site [13:15] noob-africa: and if you dont want to go through installing to flash usb, get your drive repaired [13:15] Mythril: perhaps it's not partitioned? [13:15] noob-africa: did it come preloaded with ubuntu [13:15] ? [13:16] soundray: how can that be? it is fat32? [13:16] Mythril: perhaps gparted sucks [13:16] humancat: if you can't be helpful, please don't say anything [13:16] how can i print a file to PDF? [13:16] Mythril: how are you mounting it? [13:16] Mythril: you can put a filesystem on a drive without partitioning it first [13:16] it automounts [13:16] soundray: actually its you who not helpfull, and i'm the one who bring light here [13:17] it's usb [13:17] krish: no... it was a Windows 2000 Pro machine... I hate Windows... too many viruses! [13:17] Mythril: you'll have to do a lot of weird stuff but it can be done, afaik [13:17] is anyone able to play .WMAs on 64bit with amarok? I'm having trouble. I've installed all the required codecs (from the media repos) afaik, but amarok still says "there is no available decoder" [13:17] Mythril: what's the corresponding line in the output of 'mount'? [13:17] noob-africa: then be careful with service center guys.

They are fine, by the way! LOL [13:18] humancat: no updates from my servers [13:18] Mythril: did you start gparted with gksudo? [13:19] Slart: i just installed from daily build from 16 Nov, and it show 79 updates available (70 Mbytes) [13:19] amarok....wma...amyone? [13:19] humancat: Which version of Ubuntu?

[13:21] what is bitcomet [13:21] jobe: tried vlc or audacious? [13:21] ncfi1013_: seriously.. you've googled for it, right??? [13:21] slart: lucky you :) [13:21] ActionParsnip: well, i dont have any of the manufacturer's cds... i have no idea where they are... lol [13:21] humancat: Dunno, sorry.

[13:22] Pici: i like daily builds for released versions of ubuntu, they ussually contain all updates [13:22] Mythril: so cfdisk sees the partition table, but gparted doesn't -- that's strange [13:22] jobe: doesn't amarok use.. gstreamer? [13:22] heret1: i have got the functionality in 32bit distros many times before [13:22] Mythril: what were you going to do with gparted on this drive? [13:23] jobe: dunno. 32-bit here (and gnome). [13:23] slart: under engine in amarok settings it just refers to xine [13:23] soundray: what I find stranger is that cfdisk says it is a 'linux' partition, but mount claims to have mounted it as vfat [13:23] noob-africa: dont need em, just find out what make the HDD is and scan it with the tool on UBCD [13:23] Hi! I recently upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, and I noticed today that when I plugged USB storage devices (I tried all those I had), there was no automount! Could someone help me pleasE? [13:23] soundray: actually I was trying to figure out why it wouldn't mount in windows [13:23] heret1c1: ok, thanks anyway :) [13:23] does anyone have the firefox 3.0.4 user agent on ubuntu [13:24] soundray: because windows has... nothing for tools in that regard [13:24] Mythril: trust mount. What cfdisk shows is just a label. If you change the label to 0b or 0c, it will mount in Windows. [13:24] Mythril: if it mounts as vfat, it's vfat. The type flag in the partition table can be changed to matche with cfdisk or fdisk. [13:24] how come when somebody talks to me the responses come in red letters [13:25] jobe: there seems to be a yauap engine available for amarok.. perhaps it does better with wma's..

[13:28] ncfi1013_: you can set the different colors and such in your client.. probably in preferences or something like that.. it's different for each client [13:28] hello [13:28] hi all is it better to use a 64 bit or 32 bit distro? [13:28] is there some way i can change the kernel/add extra drivers to the ubuntu mini install cd? [13:29] hello to everyone,i'm a newbie and i'm having a hard time printing to a windows printer from ubuntu, my printer is hp deskjet 2460, i follwed the instructions from the documentation but i cant find my printer number [13:29] vallhalla81: depends on your hardware and needs [13:29] does anyone know abt fwbuilder?? [13:29] M0badedr: ask the question [13:29] I'm trying to set my user icon in Pidgin, but every time I select a file, pidgin unexpectedly quits [13:29] doors98: you mean network printer [13:29] i wanna conf my iptables through it on ubuntu server [13:29] gaelfx: have you tried removing and reinstalling pidgin [13:29] gaelfx, please file a bug report at launchpad.net [13:29] krish, yap i want to prnt on a network which has a windows print server [13:29] is the /tmp folder supposed to have a number of folders even after you clear temp files? [13:30] blackgraz, reinstalling pidgin does not usually fixes problems [13:30] ncfi1013_: you're using xchat, so check out http://www.xchat.org/ or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XChat for some documentation or info [13:30] ikonia: i have a 64 bit machine but i was told once that many programs would not run on the 64 distros [13:30] vallhalla81, not many, some :P [13:30] ikonia:any help ??? [13:30] vallhalla81: some programs... not many.. [13:30] slart: how would you change amarok from xine to yauap? [13:30] vallhalla81 very few [13:31] vallhalla81: a couple years ago, that was true, but most things run on it now [13:31] Slart: how do i know which bitcomet client to download/install? how do i know what type of computer i have? whether it's amd64 or x86 or intel x86? [13:31] M0badedr: what do you want to know ? [13:31] doors98: how did you try to configure it [13:31] blackgraz: you could also rename ~/.purple and rerun [13:31] is there an easy way to set conditional name resolution, like using different dns server ips based on the hostname domain ? [13:31] jobe: install the package, restart amarok and see if you can change anything in amarok preferences [13:31] any of the main ones and is there a vm that will run on a 64 distro [13:31] is the /tmp folder supposed to have a number of folders even after you clear temp files? [13:32] joaopinto: i dont think dns is that smart, just put the most used one at the top [13:32] doors98: you gotta be fast. I have to run some place [13:32] ncfi1013_: bitcomet is one program that handles the bittorrent protocoll.. there are many bittorrent clients, bitcomet, azureus, utorrent, deluge etc.. pick anyone you like and can work with.. they all talk to each other [13:32] hi all. I'm using ubuntu 8.4 64 bits with lvm and fakeraid. If I upgrade to 8.10 is there something I need to worry about? [13:32] krish: i'm on the print window on ubuntu and it can successfully detect the windows printer but it wont print [13:32] ActionParsnip, the problemis that I have a local domain, server by a dns server, and the internet server, and I need both for every hostname [13:32] krish:after i install the hp driver [13:32] hi... I've really stupidly locked myself out; i only have one user, and I've done passwd -l on that user; I can't get to a grub screen to boot into single user mode, as my keyboard doesn't work that early; Can I remove the passwd in /etc/shadow using the livecd? I know that can be done on older solaris - but does the same work for linux? [13:32] doors98: have you configure it! === cplx_ is now known as hybridiZed [13:33] krish:configure? how [13:33] during configuration you need to select Windows Networked Printer [13:33] ncfi1013_: you can check what version of ubuntu you have by typing "lsb_release -a" or "uname -a" in a terminal.. it doesn't mean your computer is of the same kind though [13:33] Janacek yes you can [13:33] ok i try that [13:33] is the /tmp folder supposed to have a number of folders even after you clear temp files? [13:33] anybody please? [13:33] ncfi1013_: I recommend azureus. its heavier than other clients, but very fully featured [13:33] SOURdiesel: aren't those tmp-files that are being used right now? [13:34] I am having an issue with gigabit network card going very slow, are there some issues with gigabit on 8.10 ? [13:34] i have a problem where downloading big files with firefox lead to firefox consuming all available memory and system responsiveness lost. same with transmission. (also firefox problem also happen on specific webiste) and same happen with mandriva installer. 512 mbytes of ram should be enough for these tasks? [13:34] ncfi1013_: (azureus is not called vuze) [13:34] krish:i just followed the steps, but i cant find an exact number of my hp deskhet whch is 2460 [13:34] ncfi1013_: Transmission is pretty fully featured, only the gui doesn't look exactly the same as most of the other clients [13:34] SOURdiesel: yes, what remains in /tmp/ are files and folders still in use by running programs, so they can't be cleaned up [13:34] oh [13:34] i have an i686 [13:34] krish:i can only see on ubuntu 2000 and 2500 [13:34] humancat: have you tried downthemall! plugin for FF? [13:34] Slart: i hope so. [13:34] humancat if it's happeneing with ubuntu and mandriva - then I'd expect it to be a bug n firefox [13:34] chadeldridge: nothing I've noticed, I have gigabit networking at my home LAN [13:34] doors98: so cant I on hp deskjet 4375 [13:34] but if you really want a fully featured torrent program, try rtorrent :D [13:34] but 4370 drivers seem to work for me [13:35] doors98: check this http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Configuring_Ubuntu_Linux_Printers and use some near matched model number (check tray types too) [13:35] gotta go now [13:35] Slart: maybe its just this card then, getting around 500kb/sec to the server right now [13:35] ciao [13:35] krish:i tried 2000 and 2500 but it cant print, [13:35] krish: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:35] jobe: not tried plugin. i just use wget to downloading big files... [13:35] krish:it says that the printer is idle after i installed the drivers [13:35] some of the kio slaves dont work in kde4 right? like kio sysinfo [13:35] chadeldridge: are you sure it isn't the server that's limiting the transfer? [13:36] humancat: well there you go, why do you need FF downloader if you use wget? [13:36] ikonia: its not only firefox, its also transmission, and mandriva one installer program [13:36] there is no option for 32 bit [13:36] jobe: wrong question. right question is why firefox consume all memory [13:36] Slart: no it has quad giga cards in it ... its sitting pretty idle atm because im usually the first person in the morning to start hitting it hard [13:36] how do I run a program as well as compile it in the same line? [13:36] Cosmo-san they are two seperate tasks [13:36] humancat: :P [13:37] e.g. g++ program.cpp and ./a.out [13:37] krish:the printer says ready suppose to be right? but it says its idle [13:37] this i realize, but I also know it is possible [13:37] Cosmo-san seperate with && [13:37] ikonia: have removed the password - but still can't login :( [13:37] thank you [13:37] Janacek you did the shadow file right ? [13:37] yeah [13:37] Janacek what is the username your trying to login as ? [13:37] so where the secret goes [13:37] i removed it [13:37] so now it goes :: [13:38] sweet, quick answer. thank you ikonia [13:38] Janacek what is the username your trying to login as ? [13:38] chadeldridge: well.. I'm not saying all gigabit cards work flawlessly on ubuntu.. there might be a driver problem with your brand [13:38] instead of :somerubbish: - my username is "case" [13:38] Slart: ok .. i have a few others laying around .. intel should be a safe bet? [13:39] Janacek that should work fine [13:39] krish: its very easy suppose to be to install a printer on ubuntu to print on windows right? [13:39] well at xdm, i enter case [13:39] and then enter (for no passwd) [13:39] and get login incorrect [13:39] chadeldridge: your guess is as good as mine.. I use my onboard network connection.. some kind of nvidia chipset I think [13:39] Slart: kk [13:39] Janacek: grep caste /etc/shadow and lets have a look [13:39] whats the command to compare files to see if they are the same? [13:39] to anyone: its very easy suppose to be to install a printer on ubuntu to print on windows right? [13:39] grep case sorry [13:39] Mr_Bad_News diff [13:39] * Janacek reboots into livecd [13:39] Mr_Bad_News: diff, md5, crc [13:40] is there a command that i can use to find files that are the same through the entire file system? [13:40] i have downloads of the same file a couple times [13:40] Mr_Bad_News: there are a few... duff I think one is called [13:40] hello. I've got many files where I would like to perform a multi-line search matching a block between two words (actually a several hundred line javascript function) and replace this in each file with the contents of another file. What is the best way to do this? I'm familiar with sed and have played with kfilereplace and others but can't seem to get it to work [13:41] Mr_Bad_News: fdupes iirc [13:41] Mr_Bad_News: fdupes is another one [13:41] is there something like find| .... to find files that are the same in different directories [13:41] this is my very first install on ubuntu and my very first use but my printer is hindering me to continue using ubuntu, i guess its time to go back again for pirated windows [13:41] Mr_Bad_News: you could write a pipeline, sure, using md5 or something, but fdupes does this already [13:42] Hello [13:42] can the ubuntu preseed files use variables of any form? [13:42] does anyone have a shell script for what i need? [13:43] doors98: ok, have fun [13:43] has any1 tried to install a network printer on windows (hp deskjet 2460)? this printer is giving me a hard time [13:43] something that can search the entire file system for files named the same thing [13:43] Mr_Bad_News: are you ignoring me? apt-get install fdupes [13:43] I'm having trouble with the NetworkManager. The connections that I've selected as "System setting" do not seem to become system connections. [13:44] slart: have u had a hard time installing a printer before on ubuntu to prnt on windows network printer? [13:44] salu [13:44] Janacek, i did [13:44] now i need a script [13:44] to delete mutliple files [13:44] rm [13:45] doors98: I don't think I've ever tried..

[13:48] I don't really now [13:48] know* [13:48] doors98: what happens if you just click system, administration, printing and try to add it from there? [13:48] doors98: do you actually have a network printer (a printer connected directory to the network) or is it a local (USB/parallel/serial) printer attached to a Windows system? [13:48] I think my's a netgear and there's isnt [13:48] doors98: use system-config-printer 1.0.5 [13:48] gentlemen what ehcyption does your school use ? === PrivateVoid_Ghos is now known as PrivateVoid_Work [13:48] WPA [13:48] gentlemen: what does your home one use?

[13:49] ikonia: I assume you are referring to security? [13:49] biophile yes [13:49] ikonia: think the problem is that passwd -l also sets the expiry time to 1 [13:49] DIFH-iceroot: how can that be? [13:49] Janacek ahhhh good catch === MadMax is now known as Guest81987 [13:49] Janacek: that makes sense [13:49] ikonia: Intel 5100 Link [13:49] gentlemen: WEP can be cracked withing 1 minute === jrib1 is now known as jrib [13:50] doors98: Did you brouse to find printer and check the share [13:50] DIFH-iceroot: that doesn't really care atm does it.

[13:50] remuco [13:51] Amp sorry ? [13:51] ikonia: stupid of me in the first place - I set sshd to not allow logins with passwords, but it still seemed to allow them, so i thought I'd just lock the account... misremmbeirng the command - passwd -d removes the password, but doesn't lock the account!

[13:53] doors98: in system, administration, printing, right click on the printer and select properties, there you can print a test page.. if it doesn't work you should get some kind of troubelshooting guide [13:53] so i'm assuming i've done something wrong [13:53] ikonia: what are you asking for then? [13:53] Protostar: it's probably a setting that you've made accidentally. Reboot to see if it goes away. If it doesn't, first thing to check is whether it still works on a text console. [13:53] rebooting doesn't help, brb console [13:53] slart: i did that but the printer is idle [13:53] nope, doesn't work in the console [13:53] Protostar: you've checked in system, preferences, keyboard, Layouts, "Other options" ? lots of weird settings there [13:54] biophile I'm not asking for anything [13:54] biophile: I was responding to someone else's question [13:54] any help [13:54] slart: what driver should i use if my printer is hp deskjet 2460? [13:54] robin800: slart: what driver should i use if my printer is hp deskjet 2460? [13:54] I have a bug and I'm trying to investigate it, what is the difference between printing to the "Print to file" and an installed printer? [13:54] doors98: well.. if I were you I'd check the windows computer.. see if it recieves anything when you try to print.. it could be a permission problem..

[14:04] Guest4468: no such thing as "best" [14:04] !best > Guest4468 [14:04] Guest4468, please see my private message [14:04] Guest4468: i love opera personally [14:04] Smorg: afaik apt-get,aptiture and synaptic all use the same back-end (apt).. I use both apt-get and synaptic.. different tools for different jobs [14:04] Guest4468: The only browser I can think of that doesn't have a native linux port is internet explorer. take your pick. [14:04] Deiselton: yes you can do that, I used to do it with a docked/undocked laptop [14:04] Guest4468: but i also use firefox [14:04] hhh [14:04] opera is awesome [14:04] D7: then I don't really understand why it doesn't work [14:04] (major browser) [14:04] ikonia... ok well i can write the script... but i dont know how to test for a second monitor... [14:05] is there a command that shows display devices form the command line? [14:05] D7: does it do the same with retail DVD's? [14:05] Deiselton I think I did it from edid information, I did an if edied = blah then copy xorg.dual xorg.conf else copy xorg.single xorg.conf [14:05] SOURdiesel, I haven't tried a dvd... I will try now [14:06] what are the programming languages that linux developers use for desktop and web design? [14:06] ikonia.... ok well i have to do that BEFORE gnome loads... else it wont be able to change the file until after it boots... [14:06] how do i run the script before gnome loads? [14:06] doors98: same as other, html/xhtml etc [14:06] SOURdiesel, I'm tempted to just go buy a ps3, hahaha [14:06] Deiselton: thats right [14:06] Deiselton: set it to execute before the gdm init script [14:06] doors98, python is very popular for desktop apps, and php for web [14:07] doors98: I use python and html/xhtml+css [14:07] iknonia... im a newb sorry but were is the script that handles the load sequences? [14:07] Deiselton: /etc/init.d [14:07] its not services is it? [14:07] ahhh ok thatnks alot [14:07] anyone know how i can test my sound card [14:07] i think it just got fried [14:08] ikonia: and jao slart too: really, coz im trying to learn 1, is python easy to learn? [14:08] edied [14:08] maybe a terminal command to give me some info on it? [14:08] michael: aplay /dev/urandom should give you some noise (might be loud) [14:08] doors98 try it, some find it easy, others hard [14:08] SOURdiesel, same issue with a dvd... [14:08] um edied and edid arent bash commands... hmm will have to research it [14:08] michael: there are some switches for aplay to get info about the soundcards.. man aplay for more info [14:08] Deiselton: try ddcprobe [14:08] hi which is the right channel to ask for installer preseeding? [14:08] doors98: ddcinfo [14:08] xrandr will display devices [14:09] by the way, is the user interface for python drag and drop? or everything is hard coded? [14:09] doors98: python is pretty easy.. no need for compiling you just run it [14:09] Smorg: not with NVidia drivers though, or am I mistaken? [14:09] doors98: ddcprobe [14:09] Slart, should it be all crackly??? [14:09] doors98: drag and drop programming languages, I think not [14:09] soundray: hm I don't have one here to test atm. [14:09] Deiselton: ddcprobe sorry [14:09] Deiselton: ignore ddcprobe - that wasn't for you [14:10] michael: it should just be noise.. regular "turn on the radio between stations" noise [14:10] ikonia yeah got it... have to install the xresprobe first [14:10] ...or to get a list of ubuntu related irc channels? [14:10] Slart, any idea what i could do next? ;) [14:10] i mean to display a button in python is hard coded, not clicking and dragging and done? [14:10] doors98: drag and drop.. I don't think there are many of those available for linux [14:10] Slart, i have no idea how to go about this [14:10] !irc > eolo999 check here last link [14:10] eolo999, please see my private message [14:10] Slart, i'm looking at the man pages now [14:11] hello [14:11] ikonia ddcprobe as far as i can tell doesnt show anyhting as far as monitors or display devices... what am i looking for? [14:11] How do I install latex in Ubuntu 8.04. I heard there was an editor called Kile, which should be most similar to Texniccenter in Windows? [14:11] michael: I'm not on friendly terms with alsa myself.. we have a small agreement.. I don't mess with it and it keeps working most of the time..=) [14:11] Deiselton if should output edid info for montiors [14:11] ubottu: thx [14:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about thx [14:11] I've not used it in a while so can't remember the output [14:11] says edid:edidfail [14:11] ok, a bot :) [14:11] i guys i dont have edid installed [14:11] is the gnome bittorent client ok for kde? what about python? what is emerge? [14:11] will continue researchuing [14:11] bahr: try lyx.. I think there are some other editors out there too [14:11] Slart, i was like that too, then it just stopped working. also on my windows dual boot :( [14:12] D7: hmmm... [14:12] Deiselton: ktorrent [14:12] bahr: you need the texlive packages. I suggest you have a look at LyX [14:12] ktorrent has the edid command? [14:12] hello [14:12] Deiselton ktorrent is a torrent program ? [14:12] I have instructions how to connect to my workplace VPN through windows network connections (asks for company namy->ip->user/pass). how do i connect to it through my linux? i edit /etc/openvpn/default.conf but i dont know group_id etc.. and it does not connect [14:12] Deiselton: why would that have a monitor information detection command [14:13] bazhang: thanx [14:13] ikonia... i dont know... why would he tell me ktorrent when im asking about the edid command if it didnt have anything to do with it :) [14:13] SOURdiesel, yep, this sucks, hahah... [14:13] michael: I'm sorry.. can't really help you with that.. perhaps someone else can [14:13] Deiselton: oops wrong name. [14:13] Deiselton I have no idea what he's on about then [14:13] hahaha smorg [14:13] sledgeas: have a look at the relevant network-manager packages (apt-cache search network manager vpn) [14:13] :D [14:13] D7: could be cpu/ram related [14:13] ok, how do I install that, I'm pretty new to ubuntu, I want to have a complete latex installation, like miktex offers? [14:13] Slart, thanks for the help! [14:13] Can multiple users login the same time to their account ? [14:13] thanks soundray [14:14] michael: you're welcome [14:14] sledgeas: install the one that fits your need. Then you can configure it through a right-click on nm-applet [14:14] NickName2: I think ubuntu can do multiple users at the same time, yes [14:14] NickName2: although only one at a time [14:14] gtocha [14:14] Yeah... I mean 2 or more in the same time using VNC [14:14] how do I install IdLE in the terminal? [14:14] multiple login sessions nickname2 [14:15] or any other remote app. [14:15] SOURdiesel, yeah, perhaps [14:15] NickName2: that should work afaik [14:15] NickName2: yes. You have to run multiple instances of VNC [14:15] ncfi1013_: ktorrent is kde's native client (I like it.) Deluge is gnome's and yes you can run it on kde. Deluge is built on python, and you should have python on your system anyway. [14:15] biophile: sudo apt-get install idle [14:15] D7: it happends. just like i crashed ubuntu for the first time last night. lol [14:15] pici: I tried that [14:15] how do i get that? thru adept? [14:15] biophile: and? [14:15] NickName2: you can have multiple users logged on to an X session using the XDMCP login - VNC can only connect to the active local display [14:16] ncfi1013_: yes i suppose you could. [14:16] PeskyJ: nope [14:16] PeskyJ: I tried the XDMCP login but with no success... [14:16] PeskyJ: that's not correct. You can run multiple VNC servers. [14:16] has anyone had Google Gadgets working under 8.10? [14:16] pici: E: unable to lock download directory [14:16] hmmm were do i get edid?... found a post that said it was call get-edid but it couldnt find the package... tried edid and got the same [14:16] soundray: really? ok I stand corrected - I tried that and it didn't work [14:16] PeskyJ: vnc handles multiple users.. a few vnc servers (only one I think) only uses the current session [14:17] I'm in Intrepid. I've seen a little box popup that says "hey there are some restricted drivers available". Ok, yes, I want to get them. But, then the computer crashed, and now the box is gone. How can I restart that process? [14:17] anyone know much about 'aplay'? [14:17] biophile: Make sure you don't have another apt frontend open, such as aptitude or synaptic, or adept. [14:17] hi all. I need your help very fast. I'm upgrading to 8.10 but now I get the message: space left on /var. I,m using raid1 with lvm so I need help extending the /var [14:17] piophile you are unable to lock it because you dont have the permissions to access it under your username [14:17] biophile: Or you aren't using sudo. [14:17] chmod it [14:17] in the terminal aplay a.mp3 just make a crackling noise === maek is now known as Guest5980 [14:17] Does anyone know were i can get Winff deb for Gutsy [14:17] hi - i just logged back into ubuntu and found my external usb drive is not showing up - could someone help? I've been using Ibex since its release and never had a problem with it mounting - could it have something to do with installing SP3 in XP? [14:17] hi im having trouble compiling pftpfxp-mew. ./configure --> ok you can do make dynamic now [14:17] pici: I forgot about my update manager. === kc8tad is now known as rrittenhouse [14:18] You sure I can install multiple VNC servers ? [14:19] j_77: no it couldn't have anything to do with windows. Also, what do you mean by "not showing up"? The block device isn't showing up? or it isn't auto-mounting. If the latter, check your /etc/fstab. If the former, it might be udev. [14:19] hi im having trouble compiling pftpfxp-mew. ./configure --> ok you can do make dynamic now error : array bound after parenthesized type-id note: tr removing the parentheses around type-id. Can somebody help me? [14:19] PeskyJ, NickName2: something like 'vncserver :1 ; vncserver :2' would start two servers on different ports. You cannot see them, except through a vnc client. [14:19] hi all. i am running intrepid on a machine with core 2 duo machine. on hardy i had two separate cpus in /sys/devices/system/cpu/ , now in intrepid only one appears. how can i make sure, that i am using the full potential of my hardware? [14:19] the block device does not show up in PCFileman, it shows in Nautilus but cannot mount it, even as root [14:19] Gnome will not finish starting for one account but works fine for another. Thoughts? [14:20] hololight: look in $HOME/.xsession-errors for clues [14:20] will i be able to download and install for python if i don't have it [14:20] lordleemo, here I guess http://code.google.com/p/winff/ [14:20] Smorg: the block device does not show up in PCFileman, it shows in Nautilus but cannot mount it, even as root [14:20] ikonia: through articles i verified that edit and xresprobe is not used in ubuntu 7 and later... but none of them say what replaces it.... [14:20] hololight: compare the one in the successful account with the unsuccessful one [14:20] edid not edit [14:21] hmm, something must have gotten out of synch. in adept (kubuntu) when specifying installation of the msttcorefonts the description shows "nvidia cg toolkit installer", how do i reset ? [14:21] j_77: do it from the command line. When you do, is there an error? Also, check dmesg for errors when plugging in the device. [14:21] Deiselton they are not used, but you can use them to detect a monitor [14:21] ikonia... i cant even download them... [14:21] oh really [14:21] rats, [14:21] filthpig: Yeah i know that but thats for hardy . i dont want to compile it i want the old gutsy deb [14:21] hi everyone. am having problems connecting to certain websites like msn.com. but this is not the only one. i had used several browsers. i have reset my router and still i have the same problem. can some one help me plz. i had some mail to check. [14:21] Smorg: from the command line it says 'no such file or directory" [14:22] darksifer: maybe a problem with those websites? [14:22] hi, i upgraded to 8.10, now my sound driver doesn't work. Now that I chose oss, i can listen to mp3's but still startup sound and sound in flash videos are crappy. what can i do? [14:22] ikonia: http://pastebin.ca/1259279 [14:22] j_77: even though theres a file in /dev matching what you type? strange. [14:22] ikonia: this had been the same for almost 2 weeks [14:22] Smorg: maybe it has changed [14:22] Deiselton thats frusting, let me see if I can figure out another way to do it [14:22] darksifer: dns cache polluted ? [14:22] SOURdiesel, ok, so I will try my sempron 2800/1gb of ram, and if thats a no go, I'm gonna get a ps3, hahaha [14:22] ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ... [14:22] Smorg: whats the commandto view all devices connectvia usb? [14:22] ... '''''''''''''''''' [14:23] ikonia:what is dns polluted? [14:23] What file controls which programs/ applets are started when gnome starts? [14:23] hi im having trouble compiling pftpfxp-mew. ./configure --> ok you can do make dynamic now error : array bound after parenthesized type-id note: tr removing the parentheses around type-id. parentheses around type-id? [14:23] hi please help, i'm having problems with my network.. it freezes from time to time.. i'm dual booting with xp but then xp works fine [14:23] darksifer your dns resolution from your isp giving out bad info [14:23] hello, my usb wifi card belkin F5D7050 does not work in ubuntu, can someone help me? [14:24] i need help opening my newly installet first class conference client.. i installed it into opt/firstclass and now there is a file there, fcc, that doesnt do anything if i click it [14:24] Hello [14:24] ikonia: then how can i correct this? [14:24] j_77: I don't know that you can view them. Just ls /dev and see if you have any extra hd* or sd* devices than you normally would. that should be the usb device. Also, if you check your dmesg the kernel should log where it is when plugging it in. [14:24] darksifer: I'm only making a guess, contact your isp ? [14:25] lordleemo, was it ever made for gutsy? Compiling it is not really that difficult either, and then you can build your own deb for it [14:25] has anyone ever tried quake2 under wine? [14:25] I wish to use a background image that is on my NTFS partition, is there a way to mount it on startup? Right now it just shows a brown screen when I restart. [14:26] hi im having trouble compiling pftpfxp-mew. ./configure --> ok you can do make dynamic now error : array bound after parenthesized type-id note: tr removing the parentheses around type-id. parentheses around type-id? Where can i find this? I dont see anything about it in the makefile. Any ideas? [14:26] Smorg: when i access the /media directory where the drive mounts, i get an error saying 'Input/Output error' - any help? [14:26] mon^rch: i run descent3 under wine, so chanes are that quake2 would run too [14:26] filthpig: its alright my friend .. ill get a copy of the deb from a mate of mine .thanks for your time [14:26] ikonia: i have done tracert to msn.com. i get request time out aroung 10th hops [14:26] !appdb > mon^rch [14:26] mon^rch, please see my private message [14:26] Ndle55 what are you trying to build [14:26] is anyone here good with decrypting bootchart logs?? [14:26] darksifer network down ? [14:26] How can i open my opt/firstclass/fcc file? [14:26] hi, i upgraded to 8.10, now my sound driver doesn't work. Now that I chose oss, i can listen to mp3's but still startup sound and sound in flash videos are crappy. what can i do? [14:26] ikonia : pftpfxp-mew [14:26] cd [14:26] bye guys thanks for all your help going to bed now [14:27] JackWinter_: great! does it have opengl? [14:27] Ndle55 I can't find much info on it, what is it, an ftp client ? [14:27] ikonia : i need an ftpclient with a search feature [14:27] I wish to use a background image that is on my NTFS partition, is there a way to mount it on startup? Right now it just shows a brown screen when I restart, not the background image. [14:27] hi please help, i'm having problems with my network.. it freezes from time to time.. i'm dual booting with xp but then xp works fine [14:27] hi. I've just installed ubuntu on my new laptop. when i try and installed the nvidia restricted drivers, it asks me for my password, then shows me a download screen temporarily, but that disappears and nothing happens. any ideas? [14:27] Ndle55: never even heard of that [14:27] ikonia: thanks you. i think am going to phone my isp [14:27] ikonia: its text based en you can use it in combination with irssi [14:28] mon^rch: i'm running the opengl engine under wine. have a nvidia fdx card. everything runs great. in fact better than the linux port [14:28] Is anyone here actually running ubuntu server (intrepid) on a server without running into tons of issues? [14:28] ty [14:28] gammy I have been doing, not got a server next to me, [14:28] can someone tell me a program to make an iso from a dvd movie [14:28] senorgomez: add an entry for it in /etc/fstab [14:28] simmerz: go to softwares sources i [14:28] ikonia: That's amazing. [14:28] !info k9copy | darksifer [14:29] darksifer: k9copy (source: k9copy): DVD backup tool for KDE. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 2.0.2-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 1349 kB, installed size 3024 kB [14:29] Thanks Kodo [14:29] mon^rch: maybe you should ask in #winehq instead :) [14:29] simmerz: go to softwares sources under system admin and activate third party and other repos [14:29] is http://www.getdeb.net/ offline?.. [14:29] ikonia: I have eight severe, unsolvable, open problems and nobody even has a clue as to what to do about it. As I see it now, I can't actually continue using ubuntu because it's so damn faulty [14:29] ikonia: Which really stings :( [14:30] gammy what sort of problems ? [14:30] what is a good program for capturing DV from a video camera? Also what is a good video editing and effects suite? I'm looking through the sound+video list in add/remove and the selection is m ind-boggling [14:30] Delvien: ok. I'll try that. just doing an aptitude upgrade [14:30] gammy with that kind of atitude you are not help-able :) [14:30] ikonia: issues with cron, ghost errors in logs, PAM, apache2 segfaulting, numerous problems causing serious downtimes. All hardware has been tested without any problems [14:31] i have exact situation that's pointed in the forums : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=944742 . Any suggestion for this? [14:31] Delvien: It was not help I was after - I seriously wanted to know if anyone had succeeded. [14:31] gammy not sure what ghost errros are, apache2 sefaulting must have something to do with your hardware as it's stable on hundreds of other hardware platforms, pam, well are you using it stock or changing it anythng #(I use it with ldap auth) [14:31] gammy at what/? [14:31] PeskyJ: i found for basic editing (no fx), dvbcut is unbeatable. think i installed all the packages and they all drove me mad in one way or another :) [14:32] gammy: I'm always interest in things like that, check out #ubuntu-server and see if people want to walk some stuff through with you [14:32] ubuntu 8.10 allows for read/write of NTFS mounts right? [14:32] senorgomez: yes [14:32] PeskyJ: isn't in the repos though, you have to get is separately [14:32] thanks [14:32] JackWinter_: aha, thanks [14:32] ikonia: I have already been told multiple times that a system which has non-server packages installed are not #ubuntu-server related [14:33] ikonia.... how do you reference diffent monitors? i know in the nvidia settings it calls one CRT-0 and the other DFP-0?... cause i could do a try catch and attemp to do something with "CRT-0" if it works then i have 2 monitors... [14:33] JackWinter_: does that also handle the capture from the camera/tape? [14:33] gammy your using the ubuntu server base install, yes/no ? [14:33] http://www.fifo.sg/post/show/221 [14:33] Delvien: At keeping an intrepid server running without problems -at all- [14:33] Deiselton depends on the software how it's referened [14:33] ikonia: Yes. Of course. [14:33] officeguy thats nothing to do with ubutnu - stop it now please [14:33] gammy: what are the "non-server "packages then ? [14:33] gammy mine is running great talking to you from it now [14:34] hmmm ok can you think of any commands that takes the monitor as an input? [14:34] JackWinter_: and when you say no fx, does it do text overlays/inserts and fades and really simple stuff like that? [14:34] hello. is there any way that i can install another boot loader from ubuntu live cd? because with the grub boot loader i get a error 23: disk read error [14:34] ikonia: Anything that did not come with the base install, apparently. [14:34] gammy can you give me an example [14:34] i cant think of any as the linux shell doesnt use resolutions that i know of [14:34] gammy: as the things you mention come with the base [14:34] ikonia: Uh. zsh? :P [14:34] PeskyJ: my application was simple, to open a .ts file (from sat), cut out the commercials and save as mpeg file. Might not fit your requirements, but for cutting things out it's ace. and no it doesn't import anything. just ace at removing stuff from mpeg or ts files [14:34] Hi guys, could anyone help me with a quick question? [14:34] not until it loads a graphical interface [14:34] gammy: thats in the repos though isn't it ? [14:35] !ask | yerchin [14:35] yerchin: ask away [14:35] yerchin: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:35] when i enter "sudo fdisk -|" it doesn't give me an output, it just says ">" on next line [14:35] out do i get output from 'sudo fdisk -|'? [14:35] senorgomez: sudo fdisk -l [14:35] senorgomez, it's "-l" [14:35] senorgomez: replace the | with an l (lowercase L) [14:35] I was wondering if Ubuntu can access the files on my vista partition (Can it read NTFS)? [14:35] small L [14:35] senorgomez: | is invalid [14:35] ikonia: Yes. As soon as anyone in #ubuntu-server found out I had pulled in packages that did not come with the base, they refused to help. I'm not going to badger people who do not want, nor have time to assists. [14:35] senorgomez.... cause you are piping it to nothing maybe [14:35] yerchin: yes [14:35] ahhhh ;) thnaks [14:35] hello. is there any way that i can install another boot loader from ubuntu live cd? because with the grub boot loader i get a error 23: disk read error [14:36] Thanks. Can it also open programs/read the registry? [14:36] gammy I'm in there now, pop in and lets have a look at it [14:36] woo! http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/17/adobe_64_bit_linux_flash_10_alpha/ [14:36] ikonia: In fact I'm no longer looking for help as I realize there is none. I just wanted to know if anyone at all had succeeded in running intrepid server at all :) [14:36] senorgomez... | sends the output to another program... like you could say fdisk | gerp fdisk and it will show all lines with fdisk in them [14:36] !aptfix [14:36] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [14:36] user__: you should check your BIOS setup first and make sure the hard disks are set to Mode: Auto [14:36] JackWinter_: oh right... this is for capturing from a video camera (DV format on tape) so perhaps dvb is not what I need? [14:36] egat.de [14:36] gammy fine then [14:36] !ask can it open programs? [14:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:36] Hi, I've got a problem with my network settings. It seems that my wireless adapter is only connecting to the wi-fi network it was connected to during the upgrade from hardy to intrepid. I looked at /etc/network/interfaces and I noticed that the network that I /can/ connecto is hard coded in there... what is this file supposed to look like ? [14:36] ah lol. [14:37] ikonia: Some problems are 186167, 259293, 277723, 276444 but those are only the ones who others have also reported. [14:37] senorgomez that grep.. not gerp [14:37] soundray they are. problem is that i think my hdd has a broken master boot record... [14:37] gammy: you either come for help here, or you stay away. The way you are behaving is just wasting time. [14:37] !aptfix [14:37] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [14:37] thanks deiselton [14:37] yerchin: do you mean run windows programs? it can't run stuff installed on your windows drive.. you'll have to install them using wine [14:37] soundray: Oh that's funny. I thought I spent time here actually helping people as well. [14:37] user__: installing grub fixes the master boot record [14:37] g.de [14:37] Ok, thanks Slart. [14:38] gammy: I don't know about other times. I'm only referring to your current behaviour [14:38] then what's the problem ? because i get Grub - loading stage 1.5read error [14:38] !grub | user__ [14:38] user__: 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 [14:38] I've heard WINE can be very difficult, is this true or just rumors? [14:38] soundray: Ok. [14:38] yerchin, check the appdb [14:38] soundray: So you mean my question was invalid because it was generic? Or what? [14:38] !appdb | yerchin [14:38] yerchin: if the app is well supported by wine is dead easy. [14:38] yerchin: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [14:38] user__: try the RestoreGrub instructions ^^ [14:38] yerchin: well.. it comes with it's own problems.. you can ask in #winehq [14:38] yerchin: half and half [14:38] yerchin: wine is easy and totally transparent to the user [14:38] PeskyJ: if you ever need to cut stuff out of a mpeg stream have a look at it. saves loads of time... i only mentioned it, because all the other video editing packages i tried drove me mad... :) [14:38] badly need help with my wired network.. it freezes almost every 10secs and i have to hit networking restart :( [14:38] soundray: I mean, ikonia answered it. I was happy with the answer. [14:39] Delvien: looks like the aptitude upgrade did it [14:39] ok [14:39] gammy: I am saying that moaning is offtopic here. You either look for help, or you stay away. [14:39] Thanks guys. [14:39] Experiencing a WTF moment. Can anyone help? (dir access restricted) http://pastebin.ca/1259296 [14:39] senorgomez.... just so you know... you have 3 things you can do to a program... 1 "|" pipe it to another program.... or ">" write it to a file... or "<" take input from a program or file as arguments of this program... [14:39] Most freeware comes with linux support anyway right? [14:39] sapi51 you don't need to use phrases like WTF [14:39] simmerz: good :) [14:39] senorgomez: so if you see | or < or > you havent finished reading or C and ping the rest of the command [14:40] PeskyJ: gotta go now, good luck :) [14:40] soundray: Understood. Please post most exact guidelines if available. [14:40] soundray: most/more. [14:41] gents, can we drop this please [14:41] !etiquette [14:41] Unsure how you should behave on this channel?

[14:41] sapi51: where are the . and .. dirs? [14:41] ok i've tried recovery grub and when i'm suposed to write root (hd0.0) i get error 11: unrecognized device string [14:42] Delvien, not for you [14:42] user__: use a comma, not a period (hd0,0) [14:42] bazhang: weird it pinged me [14:42] Who here has information about xorg.conf? [14:42] :) [14:42] sapi51: forget it; problem is with execute bits on group and others [14:43] Will Ubuntu yield better hardware performance than vista? [14:43] erUSUL, I need these set? [14:43] ok now i get error at next step - setup (hd0) - error 25: unrecognized command [14:43] yerchin: depends on what kind of hardware you're talking about.. for your windows only scanner.. sure since it won't work at all on linux (probably) [14:43] sapi51: mine are i have drwxr-xr-x for drive_c [14:43] Haha, no I mean internal parts. [14:44] Like RAM, GPU and CPU. [14:44] java [14:44] need for speed [14:45] yerchin: ubuntu will probably feel a bit snappier compared to vista.. gnome can be a bit of a hog but there are other window managers available [14:45] erUSUL, if I fix that, I get the same prob for the nested folders. can I recursively chmod the folders ONLY? [14:45] sapi51: a while loop script could [14:46] sapi51: use the output of ls -d [14:46] ikonia: Hrm I didn't know there was anything to stop. I still can't see any problem at all. However I do understand how what I said could have been easily misinterpreted. I wasn't "whining" - Each problem I have had has been adressed here with great care and I appreciate all the assistance. However the solutions have been exhausted - that's life. [14:46] gammy: I meant the debating about if it's ok to ask, you've asked the question, fine, lets move on [14:46] Thanks, is driver installation a big deal? Eg; do I have to go hunt down new drivers for my chipset, gpu, etc?\ [14:46] hello [14:46] sapi51: « find drive_c -type d -exec chmod +x {} \; » should work [14:46] sapi51: find /somedir -type d -exec chmod +w {} \; <--- adds write permission to all folders under /somedir [14:46] ikonia: Mm. [14:46] yerchin: nope.. it usually works out of the box.. but try a live cd to know for sure [14:47] genius. thanks people! [14:47] user__: have you really entered 'setup (hd0)' only? No leading spaces and such? [14:47] Ok, thanks for all the help Slart. You're making this conversion a helluva lot easier. [14:47] Hello, I haven't been able to print since my last intrepid upgrade. Cups' error_log says Unable to open MFP port device file!: Cannot allocate memory. Do you have any hint? [14:47] yes [14:47] yerchin: you're welcome [14:47] why is there no list of visited channels of the past week?

[14:48] ok now i get error 17: cannot mount partition [14:48] ok now i get error 17: cannot mount selected partition [14:48] Hi. [14:48] erUSUL: Can I send a private message to you? It is hard to keep up with the channel due to display configurations. [14:48] !sound | rourou [14:48] deardeath: ok [14:48] rourou: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[14:50] user__: now you should compare the output from 'sudo fdisk -l' and the partition references in /boot/grub/menu.lst to see if the latter refer to the correct partitions. [14:50] rourou: try to follow those as best you can - if you still have issues, please ask :) [14:50] ok i'll try [14:50] how can you list all dutch channels? [14:50] !list [14:50] Hi!

Is that your Ubuntu root? [14:53] anyone ever had this problem?

""apt-get install pidgin-encryption". ? [14:55] the partition /dev/hda1 is the partition that has linux on it [14:55] But the strange this is partition #1 & #2 are available on ubuntu ,but there are 2 other partiotions ( ntfs ) which don't show up,and while on Windows partition #1 & #2 show up while the others don't [14:55] gigel2006: there is no such thing as encryption for pidgin, it depends upon the protocol you use, wheter there is encryption [14:55] user__: have you got more than one hard disk drive? [14:55] no just one [14:55] GSMX: http://pidgin-encrypt.sourceforge.net/install.php [14:55] it has 8gb ubuntu partition 500meg swap the rest ntfs with data on it wich i need [14:56] Anyone here done CISCO curriculum before? I am being bored out of my skull. D: [14:56] should i write hda1 instead of hd0,0 in menu.lst?

[14:57] so grub is on hd0,0 [14:57] gigel2006: didn't know about that one :P oke, it's in multiverse so "sudo apt-get install pidgin-encryption" should work [14:57] err without setting up rhosts [14:57] user__ your stage one files are yes [14:57] and in menu.lst it says at root - hd0,0 [14:57] user__: yes, I can't see anything wrong with that. Don't know why you're still getting an error 17 [14:58] GSMX: ya i'll see if it works cheers [14:58] user__: unless your BIOS somehow detects it wrong [14:58] when firefox does that its when i open a new window or when i first open it === MisterL is now known as Guest38057 [14:58] i should state that the hdd is ata and the smart ability has gone wrong somehow [14:58] Can someone help me step by step how make my Belkin wifi usb F5D7050 in Hardy?

[15:00] see you soon [15:00] :) [15:01] <|Chrizz|> Belkie: Google can solve anything. http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/08/howto-setup-belkin-wireless-g-f5d7050.html [15:01] LjL i do not understand [15:01] kanhiya78: it's not in the official ubuntu repositories, which is what we support in this channel. if someone wants to install something from a third-party source, they should understand the implications very well. since no one asked, there's absolutely no reason to post a link like that. [15:01] kanhiya78: will you be here in the channel handling the support for everyone installing oo3 using that link?

Tried failsafe and turned off all the user level services I could. when I check out .xsession-errors all I get is a very non-descript "error timeout". This is a 8.04 install that has been running just fine for quite a while [15:08] maulynvia: depends.. windows is a little handicapped when it comes to playing with anything but itself.. but you can use fat32 or ntfs and ubuntu will still handle it [15:09] UnknownUser58: what file system do partitions #1 and #2 have? [15:09] thanks all [15:10] RizR, ayt. will check that [15:10] RizR:ext3fs on 1 & 2 ,ntfs on the others [15:10] hi everybody [15:11] LjL: that bug seems to be related to laptops and mice i believe [15:11] UnknownUser58-> your windows can not easily view or recognize ext* file system [15:11] UnknownUser58: have you got ntfs-3g package installed? [15:12] LjL: thank you though [15:12] I want to install an ubuntu server in my house, but I don't have the hardware (the actual server) what do you suggest I buy (something cheap, I want to make an ftp/http server accessible only by me)? [15:12] my mouse seems to be working fine [15:12] azizlight: almost any compu7ter will work fine for you [15:12] UnknownUser58: sorry. didnt read your full question. ext3 (and other linux partitions) are not easily usable in windows. ntfs partitions can be seen in linux. do you have ntfs-3g package installed?

[15:16] That solves the issue ,does Windows need 3rd party drivers to detect ex3 format drives ? [15:16] Azizlight: I have even run a 750 mhz p3 as a file server, it worked just fine [15:16] Crusher: brasero perhaps... it is default in 8.04 and 8.10 [15:16] is there a good tutorial out there for mounting an NTFS drive on startup with fstab? [15:16] i don't know how to do it [15:16] UnknownUser58-> yes, windows needs a driver..i've said this already [15:16] and tried googlign [15:16] !ntfs [15:16] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [15:16] !fstab [15:16] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

I need an open smtp server [15:23] idivx>shinoj [15:23] Lasivian: setup some mailserver at your box, using smarthost [15:23] nibbler_: I tried that with postfix, but I get "relay access denied" [15:23] Guest96047: shouldnt switch. hmm one reason could be that master/slave status of drives is changed. other than that they shouldnt switch. [15:24] Lasivian: then fix your config ;-) [15:24] Slart: well, I have it installed in French, so I wouldn't know for sure. Left clicking on the icon brings a dialog box with 5 check boxes regarding Contrast, Larger text, etc. [15:24] rizR: i was using gparted to see the /dev....maybe it was wrong [15:24] nibbler_: that's what i'm trying to do [15:24] is there a command to unmount all? [15:24] I can;t figure out what a "smarthost" is exactly [15:24] Guest96047 umount -a [15:25] Guest96047: were you using gparted live cd or in same installation? [15:25] rdp sharing options for ubuntu?? anyone. [15:25] Lasivian: a hst that actually know how to sen the mail. Like smtp.gmail.com or your isp smp [15:26] rizR: no on the same install [15:26] Lasivian: smtp.gmail.com [15:26] do you guys know of any TV tuner cards that are compatible with UBuntu ? [15:26] MrEgg964: you can check in system, preferences, assisted technologies and try to disable them [15:26] so postfix needs to know my username and password on that smtp server [15:27] hi [15:27] Guest96047: very odd. Sorry cant think of anything at the moment. may be smoeone else can help :-) [15:27] im trying to install ubuntu on a compatible laptop [15:27] Slart: Ok I'll try looking in that direction, thanks :) [15:27] and it isnt working [15:27] Lasivian: what are you trying to do? [15:28] How do you make apt-get skip unmet dependencies? Anyone? [15:28] hello [15:28] erUSUL: the raid software i'm using on a windows box (yeah, I know) can send out alerts if it crashes, but it's smtp options do not have a field for a pssword [15:28] Is this just me, or is text rendering on LCD better in Intrepid? [15:28] how can i reinstall grub from the live cd? [15:28] im trying to install "patch" but it's asking me for the Heron cdrom which i dont have - how can i get away from this? [15:28] erUSUL: so I need an smtp server that does not demand a password, i'm trying to setup postfix on my ubuntu box to accomplish this, with limited success :) [15:28] MrEgg964, depends, some find it better though [15:28] hapt1K: diasable the cdroma s software source [15:29] hapt1K: system>Admin>Software sources [15:29] Hi, how am i supposed to single-boot gnu/linux on a macbook..? [15:29] erUSUL: thanks let me try that [15:29] |Chrizz| are you still here? [15:29] bazhang: it was already pretty good, but I find it even smoother now [15:29] !macbook > mikroflops [15:29] mikroflops, please see my private message [15:29] MrEgg964, same here [15:29] js_: You mean like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub ? [15:30] macbook [15:30] erki: haha, yes, and i just found that link, thakns [15:30] Lasivian: so you are doing winbox --smtp--> linux box --smtp_with_auth--> gmail [15:30] Mac Isn't good?? [15:30] hola, alguien me puede ayudar con el problema de baja resolucion en ubuntu? [15:30] can you put stumbleupon in epiphany? [15:31] can anyone help me with http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/08/howto-setup-belkin-wireless-g-f5d7050.html [15:31] Hi, I've got a problem with my network settings. It seems that my wireless adapter is only connecting to the wi-fi network it was connected to during the upgrade from hardy to intrepid. I looked at /etc/network/interfaces and I noticed that the network that I /can/ connect to is hard coded in there... what is this file supposed to look like ? How can I get it so I can move between two networks? [15:31] erUSUL: that seems to have worked thanks alot! [15:31] do I have to type echo rt73 >>/etc/modules or echo rt73???? [15:31] Lasivian: http://behindmyscreen.newsvine.com/_news/2006/12/31/501615-configuringubuntu-postfix-and-gmail-in-101-easy-steps [15:31] erUSUL: yes, that is what I am attempting to do [15:31] thanks [15:31] !pm | [15:31] !pm |Guest28987 [15:31] Guest28987: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[15:32] I'm trying to turn up my speakers in alsamixer, but I can only see the "master" channel, when I need the "front" one. anybody know what's wrong? [15:32] !es | Belfast [15:32] Belfast: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [15:32] bazhang: thanks, but macbook BIOS doesn't seem to read from MBR [15:32] can someone help me, do I have to type echo rt73 >>/etc/modules or echo rt73 in the terminal (with or without >>/etc/modules) [15:32] can anyone help? [15:33] here is my /etc/networking/interfaces file : http://pastebin.ca/1259330 [15:33] Belkie: echo rt73 | sudo tee -a /etc/modules [15:33] i made it so the bios boots the installation cd for ubuntu but keeps bringing I/O errors up [15:33] Guest28987, ask a specific question [15:33] guest28987: with what? [15:33] Whitor: Remove everything but "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback" from /etc/network/interfaces. Network-manager is supposed to handle that by itself I believe. [15:33] basically my laptop is compatible with UBUNTU. yet i cant install it [15:33] erki, thanks I'll try that [15:33] erUSUL, i'm following the tuto on http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/08/howto-setup-belkin-wireless-g-f5d7050.html, can you help? [15:33] Guest28987, md5 the iso yet? [15:33] Whitor: You might also need to reboot. [15:34] greetings channel, in ubuntu 8.10 what the the proper ubuntu way to handle automounting of cifs/smb shares in a domain [15:34] md5 sorry? [15:34] i would like to specify my own mount points [15:34] su - [15:34] oops [15:34] !md5 [15:34] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [15:34] and i dont see that option in the 'connect to server' menu [15:34] erki, I'll prolly just have to restart /etc/initd/networking no ? [15:34] whats sfs under file system? [15:34] Belkie: use the command i gave instead of echo rt73 >>/etc/modules [15:35] Whitor: Umm, probably yes. You might actually be better at this than I am :) [15:35] erki, but a reboot is a good idea too. ... make sure everything comes up as expected ... [15:35] erUSUL, why? [15:35] is there a way to set gnome/ubuntu to auto clean up (sort the icons) my desktop?) [15:35] it says [15:35] error reading boot cd [15:35] i/o error [15:35] erki, I'm still learning... we can all teach each other something :) [15:35] md5 the iso then Guest28987 [15:35] Belkie: becouse "sudo echo ... " wont work as sudo do not cross >> redirection and you will get a permissions error [15:35] !md5 [15:36] how do I switch channels in alsamixer? I can only see "master," while I need "front" [15:36] Guest28987, read that link [15:36] Guest28987: Most likely there's a problem with your copy of Ubuntu 8.10. It can either be your download that didn't go right (hence the md5 check, to make sure), or your burning the cd that went wrong (you want to burn the cd in the slowest possible speed for better results) [15:36] i see [15:36] the burn was quik [15:36] quick [15:36] How can I do an "apt-get build-dep" that is not reversed by the next "apt-get autoremove"? [15:36] okay ill reburn, i believe that will sort it out [15:37] erUSUL: I did not realize it was a gmail-specific issue [15:37] thanks [15:37] Lasivian: well most other smtp's do not use encrypted connections [15:38] Is there a way to script a do-release-upgrade ? I have over 50 machines which are identical, on a test-system I tested and had to answer a few yes and no's. [15:38] hellO! [15:38] i'm on a dell inspiron 6400 [15:38] i think i need to uninstall and reinstall my auido drivers [15:38] Guest28987: before you re-burn the cd, you may want to compare md5 checksums. That will assure you that you did download the iso exactly as it is meant to be [15:39] anyone know which ones i should be looking for? [15:39] erUSUL: I figured I had just screwed up my postfix install :) === sale_ is now known as sale [15:39] user error = #1 cause of failure.. duh! [15:39] Lasivian: XD [15:40] does anyone know how i can find which audio drivers i have? [15:40] michael: lsmod [15:40] lsmod|grep snd [15:40] ROFL [15:40] "free your mind and your ass will follow" [15:40] HAHAHA [15:40] momelod: add "/// cifs ,user=username,pass=password 0 0" to /etc/fstab. username and password can be '' for anonamous login. Think that worked for me but not sure until i get home. [15:40] Anyone thing they could take a minute to give me some advice on a new server build? [15:40] *think [15:40] fosco_, any tips on what i'm looking for in that list ;) [15:41] snd [15:41] Hey there, I've been using GNU screen for a while now to save my sessions when I log on at home / work. I find myself having to manually set the DISPLAY environment variable every time I switch computers. Is there a way to do this automatically?? [15:41] What is the filename of the GNOME automounter? [15:42] I'm doing a new build and am needing a server board that supports Raid and is as hassle free as possible [15:42] fosco_, i'm looking to uninstall and reinstall my audio drivers ;) [15:42] is there a way to set gnome/ubuntu to auto clean up (sort the icons) my desktop?) [15:42] michael: audio drivers are included in the kernel package, you do not need to install nor remove them, just load or unload [15:43] ndm_design: maybe you get more info on #ubuntu-server [15:43] Thankyou Very much erUSUL [15:43] jin: right-click on a empty space on your desktop and choose Sort by name [15:43] bullgard4: complicated, it depends on halld, udev and /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-hal-volume-monitor [15:43] fosco_, they just stopped working (i believe from a power surge) [15:43] fosco_, on my windows dual boot I needed to reinstall them, and that fixed it [15:44] michael: but this is not windows :-) [15:44] fosco_, can i reset the kernel to default some how? [15:44] How do I switch channels in alsamixer? I can only see "master," while I need "front." Does this mean something with my soundcard isn't working, or is there something I'm missing? [15:44] what are my options for rdp share for linux. I use vnc to connect and it is deathly slow. any suggestions as to how to set up the shar in linux?? [15:44] Ok, I need a little help. I ran the live cd for ubuntu, worked fine. Created an unnamed volume in windows (no file system) and installed ubuntu on largest contiguous partition. I installed it, went smoothly but when I tyr to run it it gives me I/O errors. [15:45] How do I build some source using make? [15:46] It was a buffer I/O error. [15:46] Akkernight: just type make in the sources dir [15:46] Akkernight: you create a Makefile and then just run "make" [15:46] How can I just run make, or type make o.O? [15:46] Akkernight: if you already have the Makefile just run make [15:46] the breaker shut off on me and since then i lost my sound on both my dual boots (xp/ubunutu). For xp i just reinstalled the drivers and it was fine, but i can't figure out what to do with ubuntu. [15:46] any ideas, anyone? ;) [15:46] !compile | Akkernight [15:46] Akkernight: Compiling software from source?

I did : dpkp --reconfigure -a and everything got fixed. [15:48] I've tried typing make but it says "Nothing to be done" [15:48] Akkernight: just make, but read what ubottu said [15:48] michael: I did : dpkg --reconfigure -a [15:49] hey guys, how can i make my ubuntu kernel "hard" ? [15:49] Is it possible to automate do-release-upgrade? I would need to do it unatended [15:49] Greetings Linux fans. Apologies for being a horrible needy n00b but I am desperately seeking help as to what has gone wrong with my ubuntu install.

[15:50] now I want to do modprobe ath_pci but he doesn't find the driver [15:50] how to linux kernel hardening for ubuntu? [15:50] I am reading through it, kinda... But the INSTALL file said to use (su -c "make install") but when I type in my password, it says that the password is wrong... [15:50] michael: hold on a second, I'm double checking [15:50] hi guys, anyone knows how to del the shortcuts of local harddisk drive but retain the mobile ones' shortcuts? [15:51] Akkernight: use sudo instead of su -c [15:51] ok ubottu, I've done my reading, I've gone throuvgh the forums, I've trialled the test envinronment and finally taken the plunge. Everything seemed to be going well and I've partitioned and installed ubuntu BUT when I get my boot menu and choose to run ubuntu it comes up witht he slpash screen then kicks me out into a command prompt screen. It tells me I can type help for options [15:51] Akkernight: uso "sudo make install" [15:51] where has my nice GUI gone? [15:51] can someone tell me how to completely remove AWN? everytime I do a reinstall it remembers my previous settings [15:51] Spaff: Did you use the alternative install cd_ [15:51] ? [15:51] no [15:51] Nexiv`: the settings in your home are not removed. find them and remove them by hand [15:52] * Spaff thought he was all prepared and good to go [15:52] Spaff: Cause it looks like ubuntu_desktop didn't get installed. [15:52] why might that be? [15:52] hi guys, anyone knows how to del the shortcuts of local harddisk drive but retain the mobile ones' shortcuts?

If so, you could try running "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop". It takes a good while though... [15:53] sorry [15:53] im just eager to know that [15:53] Why does the make command complain about no space left, when I have 160GB left? [15:53] I'm installing the atheros madwifi driver, I did sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules madwifi-tools [15:53] now I want to do modprobe ath_pci but he doesn't find the driver [15:54] MrEgg964, ah it was dpgk-reconfigure -a [15:54] Heatryn: try ath5k or ath9k [15:54] MrEgg964, i typed 'dpkg --reconfigure -a [15:54] hi all - im having a problem whereby im not being shown the login screen on startup and xfix is giving an error message when i try to fix it with that - can anyone help? thans [15:54] Akkernight: You're not trying to run make on a CD right? === migm-away is now known as migm [15:54] erUSUL, thanks [15:54] MrEgg964, its running now, thank you :) [15:54] michael: this is a sudo command, don't forget [15:54] No, I'm running it on the terminal [15:55] an: i do not think what you ask is pssible... either you want the volumes (all of them) to show up on desktop or not [15:55] gki: You said "when I try to fix it with that", what specifically is "that"? [15:55] Nexiv`: no problem [15:55] michael: you'll probably be asked a few questions along the way - default is generally a good answer to those [15:55] gki: Never mind, I re-read and got it :) [15:55] MrEgg964, lets hope ;) [15:55] gki: What is the error message xfix gives you. === jesse_ is now known as Guest27882 [15:56] erki, how long is "a while"? I do have an ethernet connection. It took me under 20 minutes to install from the cd. Will I be looking at a serious afternoon of waiting with installation via the method you describe? === E-XtraCt is now known as XtraCt^eSr === XtraCt^eSr is now known as E-XtraCt [15:56] erki; it dissappears so fast its difficult to catch it - but something like "Can't locate strict.pm" [15:56] michael: I have to go now, good luck - but I'm pretty confident it'll work for you. I did the trick for me, on a system that was completely screwed up. [15:56] Now the make command complains about "Read-only file system" [15:56] fosco_: /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-hal-volume-monitor does not exist in Ubuntu 8.04.1. Can you recommend an introductory article? I googled but with weak success so far. [15:57] Spaff: If the installation took 20 minutes, you most likely already have ubuntu-desktop. Especially if you didn't use the alternative install cd. The regular one installs ubuntu-desktop by itself, methinks. === joruffin is now known as jruffin [15:58] well it all looked good erki. Just whe it came to booting up for the first time all I got was an ugly command prompt, wherein I got totally lost [15:58] I like my gui! [15:58] Why doesn't Ubuntu let me install Qt4? [15:58] Spaff: Okay, just try to run the command I sent you, I'm pretty sure you can opt out of actually installing after it has checked if you alreday have the package. [15:58] Akkernight: paste the output of "cat /proc/mounts " [15:59] Akkernight: why are you compiling it from source? [15:59] ok cool, so I just type that in from the prompt? [15:59] Spaff: Yes [15:59] * Spaff is gonna go for it [15:59] Both the terminal and Add/remove freezed on me now, and I didn't find anyother way than source [16:00] in Epiphany, is there a way i can force links that would normally open in a new window to open in a new tab instead? [16:00] erki: what i have managed to catch so far: "Can't location strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl/ /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/ /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/per15" and it goes on - difficult to catch it all [16:00] gki: Hmm, lemme check on something [16:01] erki: thanks [16:01] erki: shall i keep trying to get the full error message? [16:01] ang on ang on ang on. I've rebooted for a 4th time to get back to this nasty command prompt to try the sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop malarkey and suddenly ubuntu seems happier, after a list of errors which appear and promptly disappear again too quickly to read I am presented with that spiffing ubuntu desktop and a rather nice welcoming sound [16:01] * Spaff is confused [16:01] Akkernight: well the "fs is read only" may be the couse of the synaptic faliure [16:01] Akkernight: paste the output of "cat /proc/mounts " as i already requested [16:02] Can anyone point me to instructions on compiling an ubuntu package from source to apply a bug patch and make a new package to test with? [16:02] As I said, both the terminal and Add/Remove freezed, they are white white and won't do anything [16:03] Akkernight-> everything frozed? [16:03] Spaff: Oo, one of those errors that disappear without intervention. The kind that often comes back without warning too :S [16:03] Nope, just those two things [16:03] jruffin: you can obtain the source by doing "apt-get source packagename" (do it in an ad-hoc directory). then you do "sudo apt-get build-dep packagename" to download the build dependencies [16:03] can i compile asm with gcc? [16:03] that all sounds a bit windows to me erki. I thought such nastiness was behind me [16:03] jruffin: then you edit, but then to build a binary packages there are several ways, and i don't know the merits of each [16:03] Drive in which i have installed linux is just 10GB.....can i add some more memory to the drive from other drives? [16:03] AzizLight: C and C++ only, I'm afraid. Nice nick though :) [16:04] Akkernight-> you can open another xterm and ps -aux and find the pid of those two terminal apps you run, then kill -15 pidofthose === Neelabh is now known as Puneet [16:04] AzizLight: yes (although it will just call an assembler) [16:04] Pici: thanks :P [16:04] alright so now ubuntu has loaded up for me, can I assume that it will do so on a regular basis when asked, and that the initial failures were just linux getting to grips with my 'pooter? [16:04] Akkernight: if you got a read only file system error that indicates a serious error in the filesystem ubuntu is installed on [16:04] what settings do i need on edit partition when installing ubuntu? [16:04] AzizLight: Or listen to LjjjL, he probably knows what hes talking about more than I. [16:04] AzizLight-> maybe the -s option? man gcc [16:05] Akkernight: i recommend to boot into a livecd to check the filesystem health [16:05] n8tuser: im on a mac i didnt install gcc yet! [16:05] there is three partitions and I want to install under sda3 [16:05] LjjjL: I'm new to ubuntu so anyway would be great. just have to get it into a deb package to get it into someone else's system. [16:05] My Ubuntu is installed on same HDD as Vista, and Vista just kills my PC every time I have it run for 1 minute >.> And I do have a good enough PC for Vista :P [16:05] hey guys, how can i make my ubuntu kernel "hard" ? [16:06] how to linux kernel hardening for ubuntu? [16:06] Drive in which i have installed linux is just 10GB.....can i add some more memory spac to the drive from other drives? [16:06] gki: Sorry, I'm not enough of a wiz to find out which apt package supplies strict.pm... [16:06] I am trying to boot my ubuntu to multiuser networking runlevel, I run init 3, and telinit 3 as root, or with sudo, and nothing happens, infact with 3 it runs 5 e.g. starts gdm... [16:06] Pici, n8tuser, AzizLight: actually in normal circumstances gcc should just automagically recognize an asm file (especially if it has an .s extension) [16:06] soho: define "hard" and "hardening" [16:07] Allo all [16:07] make it stronger, to prevent exploits etc [16:07] sigh [16:07] Crusher: I'm not sure if you can do it now, you might have to reinstall.

[16:10] Lasivian-> what were you changing? which app? and what is it supposed to do? [16:10] I'm on Kubuntu 8.10, and when i do some changes to plasma, like creating other panels, adding widgets and stuff, it goes back to default when i restart. How Do i make plasma keep my settings? [16:11] such as the website I was following said "if you get log errors".. that's nice, but I don;t see any logs in the program directory [16:11] postfix, trying to send mail [16:11] keeps denying the relay [16:12] there is no IRC channel for Ultimate and the only prob I'm having is the Wubi Install [16:12] Lasivian-> there is a good book on postfix, oreilly published [16:12] !kubuntu | ChrisBookwood_ [16:12] ChrisBookwood_: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [16:12] or i'll find a windows solution that doesn;t require I run out and spend money... which i'm sick of doing [16:12] for whenever I reboot and try to install Ultimate, it just goes to intrinamfis or something like that [16:12] * Lasivian just beats her head on the wall instead [16:12] Lasivian-> sendmail and its cousins are difficult to configure and one has to really understand how networking work, with dns, servers, smtp, and such [16:13] im having a problem with icons not showing up and instead using the default gnome... how can i fix this? [16:14] Lasivian-> creating your own smtp services is for advanced users [16:14] I just want an open relay that doesn;t demand a password [16:14] hello. i want to run wvdial automatically on boot. how do i do it? [16:14] c0re__: under preferences>sessions [16:14] of course in this day and age i've got a better chance of asking for a winning lottery ticket [16:15] you can add programs to the startup c0re__ [16:15] giacomo_c, with sudo or without? [16:15] Lasivian-> you have to understand, if you allowed, such spamming will proliferate, there are professionals trying to stop that open relay thing [16:15] without [16:15] it's under your menu [16:15] giacomo_c, wvdial need sudo to be runed [16:15] n8tuser: how hard can it really be.. "I want you to send this email to that domain", yes I know, because of spammers it's become a living hell [16:15] giacomo_c, i know about sessions.... [16:16] i already added it but no luck :p [16:16] Lasivian-> if you really want to understand the why's of it, read the book on sendmail or the book on postfix from oreilly [16:16] I mean I just want to send to one email address too [16:16] c0re__: maybe add gksudo wvdial [16:16] so it'll run with sudo [16:16] i have another problem, i have the iso of the ubuntu 8.04 lts and i have Nero to burn it, but, should i burn With "cd-rom (autostart) or just "cd-rom (iso)" :/ [16:16] Lasivian-> the receiving end has to allow you in, they check such things as PTR records on MX [16:16] ie.

[16:18] is there a command to see all info about my computer / maybe which version macbook i have [16:19] yeah, but i'm a chick, I learn by asking lots of questions and usually asking guys to do it for me [16:19] duh [16:19] Can anyone recommend a good website stress testing app? [16:19] oh oh that technique [16:20] so, hmm, anyone knows? should i burn it with "cd-rom (iso)" or with "cd-rom (boot)" [16:20] hello [16:20] hi :) [16:20] I am not shore if this is the correct place [16:20] Lasivian-> ask the guys that hang out at coffee shops reading those kind of books, they will jump at the chance ..hehe [16:20] ok ok linux fans, sorry to sound like a total pleb but wy is the install option on my ubuntu desktop when I am supposed to be runnig it as my actual installed OS now?

[16:21] Spaff-> are you sure you are booted of your hard disk and not livecd ? [16:21] selinuxium: just an off moment, I'll shut up now [16:21] Lasivian, running an open relay on the internet will get your mail banned from most servers. If you aren't going to recieve any mail, just put it on your own computer or a server you can ssh to and mail directly from the mail server machine. [16:21] this might be a silly question, but why is there no semi-automated GUI for setting up an smtp server on ubuntu? [16:21] Slart, I did originally, but then I isntalled it, spent 20 minutes whilst it got underway, rebooted and got my boot menu to choose ubuntu then is loaded up [16:21] BUT, I'm sceptical as to whether tis is native or in fact still the cd, how would I tell? [16:21] Lasivian-> it is not silly, smtp are for professionals [16:21] how can I create a partition with ubifs? [16:22] Spaff: I think you're still running the live cd if you've got that install icon.. did you remove the cd? [16:22] jimcooncat: No worries, I have a sense of humour! :) [16:22] jruffin: yes, i'm not getting any mail. I have a rai running on one machine that can send alerts when it crashes, but the program does not have a field for an smtp password [16:22] Lasivian, dpkg-reconfigure postfix [16:22] er raid [16:22] how do I untar something without it creating the root-directory of the tar-file? [16:22] it seems like disgusting overkill to setup an smtp server just because this one windows program cannot send an smtp password [16:23] im using 8.10. I can't here sound from flash. The problem persists for all browsers. How can I get the sound back? [16:23] does anyone know a simple way to setup a rdp share on linux so i can connect using remote desktop? [16:23] sanchezz-> look into the option of -x for extraction? [16:23] Slart, I did originally, but it didn't work, then I put it back in to see if I could reinstall... it has just gone and loaded the livecd again hasn't it? [16:23] arg [16:23] any help with ubifs? [16:23] Spaff: I think so, yes [16:23] tsunami rdp? those are windows protocol noh? [16:24] Lasivian, If the program is addressing its mail to the server properly, the server should accept the mail without trouble. [16:24] * Spaff d'oh!s [16:24] n8tuser: hmm, not that I think... I use "tar -zxvf bla.tar.gz" and it creates a dir called "something2" I want to unpack it without it creating that dir and only untaring it directly to root [16:24] Lasivian: I would say it seems very silly to have a windows program that doesn't handle a smtp password [16:24] n8tuser: yeah it is, but as far as i can tell rdp is muuch faster than vnc. my vnc is maybe 2 fps and i dont know what to do about it [16:24] Slart: you'll find no argument from me there [16:25] but it's the raid management software [16:25] Lasivian: but I think most smtp server setups make it very hard to run without some kind of authentification.. [16:25] tsunami look into freenx ..google for this [16:25] Slart: again, i'm in complete agreement [16:26] n8tuser: alright, thanks [16:26] Lasivian, Servers should accept mail for their domains without any auth. They just won't send mail delivered to them to other domains without authentication by default.

[16:26] error404notfound: what do you want to do? [16:26] sorry, any help with ubifs? [16:26] sanchezz-> you just want specific files to be extracted right?

[16:28] isn't there support for the madwifi driver under ubuntu 8.04 [16:28] ?? [16:28] sanchezz-> or if you have the root dir you said, you can rename or move those?

[16:29] sanchezz-> moving files to a dir without the correct perms will prevent you that [16:29] error404notfound: if you want to add anything back just "sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults" [16:29] jimcooncat: Cheers I'll take a look! [16:30] erUSUL: that would be headache... isn't there any easy method? [16:30] no one triyed ubifs? [16:30] error404notfound: or whatever service of the ones in /etc/init.d/* [16:30] Lasivian, Correct. anything that can deliver mail will contact the google MX's and they should accept the mail. On Linux something like ssmtp would do great, real mail servers are overkill for that. [16:30] jruffin: I thought I could just run 2 Xorg servers, but it seems impossible with current drivers and Xorg server. [16:30] pochi_: i do not have any hardware for what ubifs would make sense [16:30] Ok, I restarted, and it seems as if there was some error and I got a message saying to run fcsk(?) manually, and I did, is that read-only problem fixed now?

[16:31] should i make two partitions for ubuntu? [16:31] jackdaw: that won't move the dirs [16:31] sanchezz, mv doesn't care about folders it just grabs everything [16:31] sobersabre, I believe that is true. But, Nvidia driver comes with an extensive readme that mentions how to set up multi every whichway stuff. I'd look to see if that has an answer. [16:31] wisey, depends on what you want to do? [16:31] sanchezz, does on my box [16:31] I just whant to know how to create a ubifs [16:31] wisey: at least 2, one for swap, one for data [16:32] sanchezz-> put the full path ? [16:32] error404notfound: so creating an inittab from scratch and using "sudo update-rc.d" to customice runlevel 3 then switching default runlevel to 3 is less a headache than just customizing runlevel 2 ?????

And nouveau which isn't done yet but has 3D [16:34] wisey: or s/wparted/qparted/ [16:34] jruffin: so you think I should try and use the driver which isn't done yet, or come back here in 2-3 years ?

[16:42] pochi_: as i said there is no hardware on what you can install ubuntu that can use ubifs [16:42] jruffin, what do i have to look "boot to lan enalbed" or something on the motherboard?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [17:36] Strikes me as an odd package to find on your filsystem. Since when do ubuntu packages have modulus characters in them? [17:36] Fermio91: if you do, just look around in your devices and try to find it. It might just be already there. [17:36] do i need to rebuild the kernel to enable the framebufffer anyone pls? [17:36] Joker_-_: i'm not english.... you've said i can try to mount the device as all other.... but how? [17:36] then simply mount it somewhere, throw the firmware and do whatever you need to update it [17:36] anyone can help me sort out why skype hangs [17:37] erUSUL: thanks [17:37] dlew, it's escaping unsafe charachters for file names.

It does not catch filesystem changes and shows lots of deleted files in the results. re-indexing didn't help. What next? [17:38] jruffin: I see, yeah. %3a is : [17:38] Fermio91: the beauty and the main problem of ubuntu is that it's made simple for the user. Users without any linux knowledge can use it... untill it doesnt work like expected and then they are lost ;) [17:38] Fermio91, Have you tried using gtkpod? if your device can work with linux, that ought to be able to handle it. [17:38] matthias__: You can get it from the Medibuntu repo or the official Skype repo I assume you installed it via apt-get? [17:38] yes i know that ubuntu have to mount devices, but how can i mount a devices? [17:38] บายๆๆ [17:39] Fermio91: mount --help [17:39] katakaio: wait i think the repo i hade do define it, if i am not misstaken, see the ubuntu forum about installing skype ...

[17:43] Fermio91: there is no magic formula other than find the device in /dev/usb* or maybe /dev/disk/by-*, then mount it with the given command: mount. for mount syntax, type mount --help [17:43] sorry [17:43] ubottu, stuff [17:43] Ryno, There are a couple of ways. They're all documented in the readme included with the driver. Last time I had an nvidia card twinview worked best. Look in the readme. [17:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about stuff [17:43] you were right! erUSUL!, all those options in the clients, they are maddening! [17:43] a microsoft solution works and ubuntu's does not... doesn't that ring some bells somewhere?

Now I have a system which is running but seems unstable. I have to install graphic drivers: but the "hardware drivers" button in the system menu doesn't work. Any work around?

[17:50] xserver-xorg-video-nv [17:51] hi m2k, it was partitioned when I first attgempted a ubuntu install. Unfortunately the install was corrupt and I have had to start again from scratch [17:51] The reason you can't google for stuff like this is that the download page drops the epoch (the "1:" part, which URL encodes to "1%3a"). Not really good. [17:51] in what usergroup must be user to be known to SUDO?? [17:51] or nvidia-common [17:51] g33k: admin [17:51] i can't remember which [17:51] Biscuit, when doing a new install, try deleting the old partitions that you don't want [17:52] is admin group caled adm or admin?? [17:52] g33k: admin [17:52] ty [17:52] m2k, but can I not keep the partition that was craeted from my last install, seeing as it is the right size for my ubuntu install? [17:52] Biscuit: sure you can. [17:52] Biscuit: are you choosing to Manually partition when the installer asks you? [17:53] yes, it defaults to another drive otherwise [17:53] Biscuit, you can, if there is any reason to [17:53] but in the manual partition menu it does not make things simple enough for my little brain [17:53] how do i go about tethering my intrepid laptop to my mobile phone so i can use the internet via my mobile - i'd like to use the bluetooth pan if possible...

[17:55] hi - apparently adobe has just released a 64bit linux flash player 10... anybody already installed it in ibex..?? [17:56] BHSPitCSP, I've done that and now it's asking me if I want the partition at the beginning or the end and what sort of file system I want to use, as well as a mount point. Any ideas?

Welcome! [17:57] Biscuit: how much free space are you working with? I recommend making one partition for the Ubuntu OS, one partition for your home folders (personal files and settings), and another for swap space (virtual memory). I know it sounds out-of-the-way, but it's a good setup for a few reasons [17:57] erUSUL is Finnish [17:57] vincent:this is not the channel to ask that in [17:58] vincent_: please take your "serious" questions somewhere else [17:58] what is the ubuntu compiling program?

Just one last Q, are these primary or logical? [18:04] nickrud, I have a nvidia too [18:04] Biscuit: that tells it to use that 10GB partition as the root ("/") directory of the OS, and the large remaining space will be used as the home directory ("/home") [18:04] erUSUL, 5xxx series of Atheros 802.11 wireless lan cards driver [18:04] gt 8500 [18:04] Biscuit: probably needs to be logical.

Making these logical combines them into one primary partition. [18:05] is there a list somewhere of what's on the server edition ? like what wm it has if any [18:05] marcelo, yes, sorta.

[18:06] nickrud, the problem is, what driver have you changed to? [18:06] marcelo, likewise. don't trust the reported hz though [18:06] Biscuit: partitioning is probably the single most complicated part of installing an operating system [18:06] nickrud, hmm [18:07] nickrud, anything special I should do regarding frequency?

[18:23] donomo: yes [18:23] well thats just weird then, the terminal should know its running in a X session and set the DISPLAY variable itself.... i assume if you try to run gedit or similar it will break too? [18:23] how come when I burn a dvd image using Brasero, the dvd does not work on Windows or in a normal dvd player? [18:23] donomo: tho other apps have the same prob [18:23] from the terminal i mean [18:24] ikonia, what does the last sentence you said mean? rdz: then contact the maintainer, but symbol version is normally down to kernel incompatability [18:24] anyone around have a SyncMaster 2232BW plus monitor?

[18:39] rdz: looking at the build time warning it appears that it needs the dep file updating [18:39] fde any disadvantages of doing that I mean all those other downloads are they really necessary? [18:39] rdz: do sudo depmod -f /lib/modules/$version/modules.dep [18:39] dubby that didnt work either [18:39] Akkernight: you need cmake 2.6 which isn't in ubuntu probably... ask in #kubuntu-devel imo as you likely don't want all of backports [18:39] rdz: hold on [18:39] quit [18:39] Do i need to use ndiswrapper if i get this error message in dmesg [18:39] [ 14.213381] wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware revision not supported' (HAL status 13) [18:40] Akkernight, you might need to have libqt4-dev installed [18:40] how i find on ubuntu whats my wlan is called?

[18:42] ok---- one sec [18:42] rdz: this won't work, but with a little luck we'll get some better output [18:42] unop stating and hoping u help me to fix it [18:42] fde: ok so like right now synaptic is saying there are 325 updates available I don't really need all of them except the security fixes right? [18:43] insmod? why not modprobe (and modprobe -r) ? insmod is more low level :/ [18:43] I'm using a pair of Logitech USB 350 headphones, and for some reason, the only things that come through are the sound test, and audio in Ekiga Softphone.

Any suggestions ? [18:43] installed to and booting from a usb stick. most things work fine but when i lock the screen (with a password set) and go to use the machine again i am not prompted for the password. the only thing i've seen in looking so far is RUNNING_UNDER_GDM=yes but env does not reflect this (where a prior live cd to usb conversion did). can anyone shed light on how i can get my xsession to lock properly? [18:43] rdz: all looks good......so whats the problem with the module format [18:44] Ok, didn't have libqt4-dev, thanks of advice ^^ [18:44] ikonia, don't know..... :-( [18:44] rdz: I was hoping for more output with the insmod [18:44] Pinchiukas: well, flash is being ported to x86_64 linux ... so probably just java now [18:44] Hi [18:44] Pinchiukas, unavailability of binary (closed source) drivers, software like flash, etc [18:44] yes unop [18:44] fde: java? what about it? and flash wouldn't work?

[18:44] st3ph, can you paste the output you got to a pastebin? [18:44] I have recently installed the Ubuntu packages on Kubuntu. How do I make the startup screen turn into the Ubuntu one rather than the Kubuntu one? [18:44] Flash does lame job most the time. I have few site it works on ,but a lot that don't any not anything we can do [18:45] hello, any one from germany here, or anyone who can speak german ? [18:45] ok unop [18:45] so there will be no flash on a 64bit version? [18:45] !paste [18:45] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [18:45] Pinchiukas: apt and dpkg have poor multilib support, so its a pain to get 32bit stuff working on 64bit machines on all Debian derivs... [18:45] Mooch: no its not difficult... [18:45] I'm using a pair of Logitech USB 350 headphones, and for some reason, the only things that come through are the sound test, and audio in Ekiga Softphone.

[18:45] ok, I'll install 32bit ubuntu then, thanks [18:46] Mooch: if you install Ubuntu second, it should be automatically set up that way [18:46] unop, http://paste.ubuntu.com/73431/ here...thank you [18:46] ikonia, do you think, i should contact the author of the linux-phc patch?

[18:53] hlfshell: open the network manager application from system->oreferences and set it to what you want [18:53] thanks ikonia [18:53] blcknight: also, make sure you don't have openjdk around, it'll conflict (see in 'about:plugins' in firefox to see what it sees) [18:53] fde, don't know.. i never tried resizing ntfs.. don't even know, if it is possible [18:53] st3ph, you said wireless was working? did you do anything to have it stop working? also, have you tried a reboot? you have to sort out this module problem before you can go scanning for networks. [18:54] rdz: its possible... I think gparted supports it, for instance [18:54] unop, i try [18:54] fde: it is possible, bu there is a risk, you can minise the risk by chkdising and defragging it first [18:54] trying to get to my ftp server that don't have router between them just connected by lan .

I think For an over all media library / play I find banshee great for videos and music [18:58] vincent_: gnome-do is a keyboard shortcut method, gnome is a desktop environment [18:58] hey, then I want gnome-do too!

[19:04] Vinnonet: sorry not you [19:04] tarelerulz: I don't really care provided it uses Xine [19:04] juro, If you can't come up with a reason to upgrade, then you've got no need, especially from an LTS. [19:04] vincent_: this is an english channel please [19:04] Vinnonet? is that me? [19:04] Is there a way to hide Apache's name from appearing as the web server? I have the version hidden but I also want to hide that the servers running Apache. [19:04] vincent_: please speak english if possible [19:04] littlepinkdot, That's the ServerTokens directive, IIRC [19:04] i have intrepid on my workstation and its great! but on the asus 701 the sounds a bit skippy! apart from that it roks!!!! [19:04] fde, maybe the only reason would be to have hot swappable sata as this does not work on my box [19:04] apeiron, it only hides the version [19:04] ikonia any chance of you reletting me on #ubuntu-nl and #ubuntu-nl-offtopic? [19:05] unop, thanks u helpt me [19:05] vincent_: no, thats nothing to do with me and shou;ldn't be brough up in this channel [19:05] littlepinkdot, Oh, you want to hide *everything*. [19:05] hm. [19:05] hello everyone! [19:05] fde, I have used xine and it seem to be the same as gtream stuff like totem . worked for 90% ,but not the last 10%. VLC and mplayer the only I have seen that are the best on playing where ever you throw at it. [19:05] st3ph, i did? :) ok [19:05] apeiron, correct =) Or replace it with another name [19:05] I remember when installed Ubuntu on this older Pc I'm using it was a pain for me to get the modem to work but when I did figure it out I was happy with Ubuntu and still am its stable [19:05] is it possible to install a package using apt-get without being root nor having a sudo-enabled user? [19:06] no [19:06] littlepinkdot, That I'm not sure about; perhaps the folks in #apache would be more knowledgeable? [19:06] hello. do you know where i could disable the "* Starting bluetooth ...... " part since my system doesn't proceed from there. [19:07] crap [19:07] !tell tarelerulz about medibuntu [19:07] tarelerulz, please see my private message [19:07] fde thanks for your help [19:07] tarelerulz: from what ubottu just told you, grab libdvdcss and w32codecs ... I doubt you'll have issues with codecs then [19:07] idra [19:08] i went from regular drivers to restricted drivers and now my screen is blank.. how can i go back? [19:08] tarelerulz, Just keep in mind things in medibuntu are not Free. :) [19:08] /whois vincent_ [19:08] (as opposed to free as in beer) [19:09] is there a website where I can download a new iso of gutsy? I lost my disc and need to live boot off of it to recover some files [19:09] How do I remove a file using the terminal? [19:09] Akkernight: rm [19:09] Thanks! [19:09] apeiron: that is explained via the repo howto.... [19:09] Fde, I have done all that before. I look at videos all the time on the net. flash based stuff like youtube , ripped stuff /coverted stuff and from what I have seen linux as whole or maybe Ubuntu does 90% good with media ,but that last 10% I have been working for the last 2 years. [19:10] fde, Yeah, just wanted to emphasize. [19:10] i don't know . i can't get no mail thru evolution [19:10] can anyone help with resetting up x? thanks. [19:10] is there any voice modifiers for linux free and not free?? i do role playing and we like to change are voices. [19:10] ... [19:10] robacarp, http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ [19:10] starn, Maybe not voice modifiers so much as general programs for playing with sound. [19:11] People use Audacity and the like for processing podcasting, which is mostly voice. [19:11] m2k: thankyou so much...I have been dying here! [19:11] unop, ty soo much [19:11] Hello. I've installed beep package, but when I write beep, it doesnt beep. What can I do? [19:11] Dumb question I assume. I need to make a Ubuntu ISO DVD on my Mac. Has anyone done this? I seem to not be able to do it correctly. [19:12] tarelerulz: been using linux for more than 10, and I never have such issues... I watch a lot of movies and stuff online too [19:12] vaurdan:maybe your computer doesn't have a built-in speaker [19:12] apeiron: well i need live modification like while in a voice chat room for role playing. [19:12] starn, hmmm [19:12] robacarp, glad to help, you can see all the releases at http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [19:12] * apeiron wonders if jack can do that [19:12] UnknownUser58, it have, because when I have a keyboard error (before load Ubuntu) its beeps [19:13] * neelabh slaps neelabh around a bit with a large trout [19:13] apeiron, it would have to be capable of live audio processing [19:13] is there any way to get a vertical taskbar, but keep the buttons horizontal? [19:13] hmmmm [19:13] hey what does pci=noacpi cause? [19:13] m2k, Right. Ardor hooks up to it for that kind of thing, I believe. But I don't know any specifics unfortunately. [19:13] in the menu.lst [19:14] silentQwerty: it causes the kernel to not load the power management functions [19:14] can anyone recomend a good firewall? (not necessarily gui) [19:14] apeiron, hmm never hear of ardor, will check that out [19:14] Hello, fellows [19:14] hello [19:14] biophile: iptables is stunning [19:14] fde: i tried this since "Starting bluetooth...." hands all the time. but now im getting strange USB errors (running ubuntu from usb disk) [19:14] hello ppl [19:14] biophile: iptables? heh... you probably want something like either shorewall or firestarter though [19:14] I just updated my mozilla and now I have no audio, any help [19:14] ikonia: thanks,I'll try it === john is now known as Guest889 [19:15] how can i remove AWN from ubuntu? [19:15] Appl3|Wind: how did you install it [19:15] i installed it with synaptics manager [19:15] Appl3|Wind: sudo aptitude purge avant-window-navigator [19:15] Appl3|Wind: then remove it via the same [19:15] but I did complete removal, but it's still there [19:15] it says : no full usb speed acces ohci_hcd [19:15] Appl3|wind: you can find it in synaptic manager again and select complete removal [19:15] even restarted [19:15] and much other strange stuff [19:15] and errors fde [19:15] so...the other day I accidently rm -R /usr/lib 'd myself.... [19:15] Appl3|Wind: then you can remove it with the same tool... right click on it and select "remove from drive" or whatever [19:16] Appl3|Wind: dpkg -l | grep avant [19:16] I have an Acer Aspire 5040 (which has had Ubuntu and many other Linuxi on it). I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server 64, and it will boot the CD, but trying to install just nets me a black screen and an optical drive spindown... any thoughts? [19:16] ikonia: the terminal returns that 'iptables is already newest version' [19:16] i tried POP and IMAP but i dn't see my mail [19:16] assuming write cache write thruoogh [19:16] I just updated my mozilla and now I have no audio, any help [19:16] apeiron: was you talking to me when you mentiond Ardor?? [19:17] can I bind a key to open a terminal? [19:17] ikonia: k I did that [19:17] what does that do? [19:17] After upgrading to 8.10 my custom keyboard layout doesn't load anymore and the /etc/X11/xkb directory it's almost empty. I understand that this version uses HAL for input stuff, but does anyone knows how to customize my keyboard layout again? [19:17] starn, That's something quite different, it's used for producing music and the like. But it uses jack, which may do what you want. [19:17] Evening all [19:17] how do i disable a site with the debian style config? [19:17] (in apache) [19:17] starn, AFAIK jack can serve as a filter for audio much like pipes on a shell... I could be really offbase here though. :) [19:17] Is it possible to use a mobile phones edge connection over bluetooth ? [19:17] severb: just curious, what keyboard do you use? [19:18] severb: same way you did it before... System > Preferences > Keyboard [19:18] severb: "layouts" tab [19:18] fde, I edited my files to create a new layout, a combination between Romanian and Dvorak [19:18] severb: I dunno where such files will go... did you put them back into the directory you stated? [19:19] Ok, Q: I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 and updated about 300 packages totaling 270 MB. Do i need to update the distribution to version 8.10 get the latest features of ubuntu or is the magic in the packages that I updated? [19:19] ikonia: it says iptables is already installed [19:19] ok it found the other avant files [19:19] How can I create menu item with icon? [19:19] Onion: you would need to explicitly upgrade to 8.10 to get the latest updates... yes [19:19] Hi, [19:19] ikonia: do I need to configure it somehow? [19:19] now how do I get back the original panel for the bottom of the desktop? [19:20] I just installed the latest version of ubuntu today and i have an nvidia card running dual monitors but its extremely laggy for some reason [19:20] biophile man iptables, or search the net, there are some excellent guide [19:20] has anyone else had that issue? [19:20] thehongtt: right click "applications" and go to "Edit menu" ... browse to where you want it to go, then hit add and edit it from there [19:20] atticus i am running two 22" lcds on my 9600 no probs here... [19:21] atticus: depending on what card / system specs it could be normal , need more info [19:21] never mind ,I'M GOOD [19:21] its the driver 173.14.12 and the card is the 7200 i believe with the vga and dvi === john is now known as Guest864 [19:22] fde: Menu editing form has now option to select an icon [19:22] atticus: I think they recomend you update to the 177 version with the upgrade [19:22] fde: How do I know what fun I'm missing out on but not upgrading to 8.10 i.e. how do i know what features are package specific and which are distribution specific? [19:22] im just wondering if thats compatible with my card [19:22] fde, I've edited /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/ro and /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.xml to create my custom layout, but in 8.10 xkb is missing rules and symbols directories [19:22] thehongtt: yes it does... the box to the left of the editing window [19:22] fde: Click on the icon on the left to change it, I have just seen, sorry. [19:22] :-D [19:23] is there an easy way to find my nvidia card version in the cli? [19:23] Onion: umm... very little is distro specific... if you enable backports, you'll basically get everything but the low level upgrades though [19:23] atticus: of course it is its an nvidia driver , if there are improvments for your model check the log on nvidias website [19:23] atticus, lpsci [19:24] severb: uhh... then create them :/ [19:24] lspci perhaps? [19:24] can anyone tell me the way to setup authentication against AD in ubuntu [19:24] millercc: thats quite an effort [19:24] (but will that work for AGP cards?) [19:24] millercc: ldap, kerberos and pam are you friends [19:24] thats what i have is an agp card [19:24] atticus have you played around in the nvidia-settings app? [19:24] ikonia, What about that Likewise doodad? [19:24] apeiron: doodad ? [19:24] hi [19:25] maxx yeah i had a hard time getting the desktop the way i wanted it but finally got it [19:25] its just really laggy and idk what to change [19:25] atticus: lspci | grep VGA [19:25] ikonia, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/likewise-open.html [19:25] who can tell me why should i use ubuntu and not any other distro? [19:25] im gonna try the new driver [19:25] apeiron: not aware of that [19:25] fogel: thats up to you to find out [19:25] ikonia: yeah, Ubuntu has a free version of Likewise available... its free and is basically a wrapper around what you listed, making everthing real easy [19:25] dfg [19:25] fogel: try it see if you like it, if you don't move on [19:25] fogel cause ubuntu is better [19:25] fogel: Because the friendly folks here will help you [19:25] hi all [19:25] fogel, its up to u what u use [19:25] but i'd like to know your opinion [19:25] why ubuntu [19:25] fogel: our opinion doesn't matter - it's yours that counts [19:25] fogel: if not why not , are you a first time linux user ? [19:26] atticus yeah i am running the newer driver. seems quick [19:26] fogel: Great community support, for one [19:26] fogel: read some of the docs on ubuntu.com to see some of the positive things [19:26] I use ubuntu on server, becaause it's so easy to configure :) [19:26] daxroc: i know a little linux, but not as much as i'd like to [19:26] fogel: what are you looking for in a distro? [19:26] fogel, for me as beginner and newbie is ubuntu friendly use and i get the best support i could have in here [19:26] I have 3 USB ports, one of them is USB 2, how could I know that port? [19:26] fogel ubuntu is the best distro to start in. imho [19:26] fogel: 'cause Ubuntu is kinda simple, and serves almost all you need :P unless you want to game loads... [19:26] is there any trick to get sata hot swap to work? [19:27] juro: thats hardware specific [19:27] can I bind a key to open a terminal? [19:27] hacked_kernel, try plugging and doing dmesg | tail after every pluhhing [19:27] deeflex, yes [19:27] fogel: then I would recomend you chose a distro that builds applications from source , if you want to learn more ( Very steep learning curve ) [19:27] juro: everything should be hot swappable in linux... might try looking more into the actual issue... [19:27] ikonia, is the free version of likewise, is it in one of the repos [19:27] yetihehe, thanks I'll try it [19:27] deeflex, Using GNOME? [19:27] the one which looks different than others will be usb2 :D [19:27] ikonia, why? is it possible to hot swap sata drives in Ubuntu [19:27] apeiron, yes [19:27] millercc: free version of what ? [19:27] juro: even the CPU is hotswappable due to benefits of big iron work [19:27] likewise [19:27] juro: sure is if your harddrive supports it [19:27] deeflex, System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts [19:27] millercc: don't know, never used it [19:28] ikonia, yes it does [19:28] millercc: yes... the version of likewise in Ubuntu is free [19:28] apeiron, cool! thanks [19:28] juro: then your fine [19:28] juro: just pull out the disk and put it back in [19:28] juro: assuming you've unmounted first [19:28] ikonia: Likewise is a crappy name for easy AD support for Linux - they are a software partner with Canonical [19:29] ikonia, that doesn't work - I pull it out and nautilus does not refresh the list of drives (all unmounted) [19:29] How can I move out from a game? Like, Warzow it has too big resolution set or something, and my screen just says "Input out of range", how can I get out of Warzow and back to the desktop? [19:29] fde: personally I wouldn't use anything that does AD setup auto [19:29] Akkernight, Try going to a text console with ctrl-alt-f1, log in, kill the process, go back to the desktop. [19:29] Akkernight, try Alt+enter. Toggles fullscreen in many games [19:29] ikonia: its not auto... its just retard proof [19:29] (there may be a more "polite" way to do that) [19:30] fde: I still wouldn't be using it, but thats only me [19:30] How do I kill the process? [19:30] Akkernight, kill [19:30] killall warsow [19:30] hi [19:30] hi [19:30] k, thanks [19:30] Akkernight, killall warsow [19:30] Akkernight, 'killall warsow' will work if warsow is the name of the process. [19:30] sind hier paar deutsche [19:30] juro: maybe thats just in the server kernel it's enabled, let me research [19:30] ps aux | grep warsow [19:30] SIND HIER PAAR DEUTSCHE [19:30] That may not be the case if warsow is a shell script launching a binary, like is the case with Firefox. :) [19:31] !de > lars [19:31] lars, please see my private message [19:31] fde: sry for lag :P i'm looking for speed, stability, good community support [19:31] " /usr/src/linux-2.6.27 is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'" - did it, now ./debian is gone with all its scripts. Is it supposed to behave that way? :) [19:31] Akkernight, then going back to your desktop is ctrL+alt+f7 [19:31] is it possible to use debootstrap in ubunto to install debian into chroot? [19:31] (Intrepid, building a kernel with mmiotrace) [19:31] (and I tried to build only the module before which failed) [19:31] dent: sure [19:31] ikonia: idk... AD and LDAP in general is supposed to make life easier... Likewise is for client side, having to configure every box would be a pita if you have 500+ boxes [19:31] ikonia, I am using 8.04 desktop [19:31] I tried... debootstrap downloaded the packages, but the result is odd... as if it was downloaded, but not really installed [19:31] dent, yes [19:31] yetihehe, i get the same output for all of the 3 ports [19:31] fde: thats what system variants and build tools are for [19:32] I tried things like "debootstrap sid /mnt/share/deb-chroot http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian" [19:32] juro: let me research, I use it hotswap a bit so I'm surprised, but then again I don't think I'eve ever used it on a desktop [19:32] juro: what is your hot swap hardware ? [19:32] fogel: Ubuntu is second to none for community support and documentation... speed, depends on software you install, stability? perhaps try the LTS release [19:32] what am I doing wrong? :-/ [19:32] i dont like likewise either, so does anyone have a good doc to go by [19:32] ikonia: I found instructions but they tell me to add stuff to /etc/syslog.conf which is a read only file. [19:32] hi all can some one look here http://www.kwunitarians.co.uk/ and tell me if they see a black box on the left or it they actually can see the wrighting [19:32] millercc: samba.org has some good docs [19:32] I have 3 USB ports, one of them is USB 2, how could I identify that port? [19:32] millercc: as does openldap,.org [19:32] ikonia, harddrives or mainboard? [19:32] ikonia: and where should I add it? [19:32] biophile: not read only, just root permissions [19:33] juro: motherboard [19:33] dent, nothing as far as I can see. What's wrong with what happens? [19:33] Ello? [19:33] Is "only-ubiquity" the safe graphics mode switch for the installer(s)? [19:33] jruffin: no error msg, but as if nothing was installed, just downloaded [19:33] Hey, What's up guys? [19:33] jruffin: I realized now, maybe som NFS dev-exec-whatever-"badness" [19:33] ikonia: huh? that supposed to be for me? what do built tools and system variants have to do with managing a large network? [19:33] any one just take a look please [19:33] I'll re-try on local FS [19:33] is there an app to make custom ubuntu install cd's? with different apps built in?

I just installed 8.10 on my thinkpad t60p, and am having issues with the fan. Under Windows, it will slow down (and be quiet) when not doing anything, but under Ubuntu, it seems to run full speed, thus making my laptop really loud. I already adjusted the cpu frequency , but no luck. Any suggestions? [19:35] Akkernight: make the b game first [19:35] fde: I don't like awake either [19:35] b game? [19:35] anyone in here know how to download files from megaupload waiting no time at all [19:35] Akkernight: "the" game sorry [19:35] ikonia: I was being sarcastic... its a god send! [19:35] fogel: I suggest you install ubuntu , then use vitalization software to try out other distros to see if you like them. software ( qemu , VirtualBox) depending on your hardware you can use intels vt or amds version [19:36] is there anyway to get a ati 9600 vid card working correctly [19:36] fde: really, I don't rate it yet, too spolit with satellet, I believe the puppet port is coming to ubuntu [19:36] have tried with envy and not working [19:36] daxroc intels vt? [19:36] Oh, yeah :P Just wanna keep my spirits and hopes up ^^ I love programming, just takes too much time to learn :( [19:36] ikonia: especially with genome from redhat... you can configure every box based on an image on the server... easy and no fuss [19:36] daxroc: which distro did you mean telling me "building applications from sources"? [19:36] manzur-> you are looking for a star trek kind of magic ?

I think that its an issue with my server set up [19:38] ikonia: I'm following instructions on iptablesrocks.org [19:38] ikonia: you can message me though even if I'm not around in here... or just go to #fedora-server [19:38] ikonia, Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe [19:38] fogel, Or try Linux from scratch.

[19:40] mint3, brasero comes with 8.10 ubuntu [19:40] jruffin: cuz source based aren't a pita even if there is only one box to manage? [19:40] Русские есть?! [19:40] !ru | nekurt [19:40] nekurt: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [19:40] I came back from hibination, and my mouse pointer has disapeared? Can anyone help me? [19:40] jruffin: easiest linux to manage though is RHEL (and thus CentOS if you don't need support) [19:41] cause i wanted to see how helpful is ubuntu community [19:41] it was to ikonia [19:41] Is there an equivalent of landscape but free? clustered webmin sorta works ok.. just want to know if there is anything better [19:41] fde, No. Not really, gentoo was pretty simple. It was just cross compiling to 4 different archs that sucked. [19:41] cluber - wahts the link ? [19:41] jruffin: its still more work than its worth if you ask me... but anyway, I missed your actual question [19:42] fogel-> are you willing to help out ? [19:42] http://projects.gnome.org/brasero/ [19:42] jruffin: I don't see why gentoo cant be for new users , they would learn a lot more that installing ubuntu , granted it's a daunting process [19:42] mint3 - http://projects.gnome.org/brasero/ [19:42] fde, Actually, I answered mine a while ago. I was just pointing out a good distribution for learning. [19:42] daxroc: most new users don't want to learn [19:42] and you know, i see ubuntu community is really great [19:43] daxroc: Its bad when users don't know what they are getting into and become frustrated and never turn back to linux [19:43] jruffin: LFS is good for torturing yourself... that's about it ;) I've set up a couple, but I never use it longer than a few weeks [19:43] fde, jruffin - what in Your opinion is more difficult? LFS or gentoo? [19:43] !ot [19:43] whats wrong with this line: unzip /home/usuario/vmware/e-v65x*.zip /home/usuario/vmware/x [19:43] I'm really not trying to argue the merits of any distribution over another. I was just pointing out options. [19:43] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [19:43] Help! I can't get my printer to work. I go to the printer thing and it says not connected, so I click Server > Connect, and connect to localhost. but it says httpConnectionEncrypt failed I'm running Intrepid. [19:43] ikonia and then I have a hardware raid controller from 3ware [19:43] fogel: LFS by a mile [19:44] fogel: Gentoo is LFS done for you [19:44] fogel, LFS. [19:44] so i have to try it :) [19:44] eLtangaZ, probably you want cd /home/usuario/vmware/x; unzip /home/usuario/vmware/e-v65x*.zip [19:44] does ubuntu keep track of how much i download and upload? or can I get a tool that does? [19:44] please tell me that if i install ubuntu inside windows, then windows crashed and can't boot again, can i use linux? [19:44] anyone with an acer laptop running ubuntu here ? [19:44] there are like 70 files e-v6501.zip e-v6502.zip etc [19:44] okok let me check [19:44] shams: no [19:44] dotblank: he said he wanted to learn about linux , for me the best way was from source I used gentoo before I switched to a pacakge based distro [19:44] fogel, LFS, for me, was a crash course on keeping your computer alive against all odds and difficulties. [19:44] shams, the linux installation does not interfere with windows [19:45] is there browser alternative to firefox? I've trobules at see a page on elance.com [19:45] BleSS: opera [19:45] links [19:45] BleSS, opera, epiphany, konqueror [19:45] shams: if you're using wubi then Linux is within your Windows system, thus it would go down too [19:45] BleSS, Konqueror [19:45] UnknownUser58, it have, because when I have a keyboard error (before load Ubuntu) its beeps [19:45] thanks [19:45] Hello. I've installed beep package, but when I write beep, it doesnt beep. What can I do? [19:45] is there a way to backup my users and passwords? [19:45] BleSS, Or Galeonor Dillo or ELinks or w3m [19:45] I want to keep track of how much I'm downloading and uploading on a daily basis [19:45] Help! I can't get my printer to work. I go to the printer thing and it says not connected, so I click Server > Connect, and connect to localhost. but it says httpConnectionEncrypt failed [19:45] joaopinto: he said "installed within" so I'm assuming he's talking about wubi [19:45] Not getting the answers I need on #kubuntu... [19:45] what's a good way of going about that? [19:45] ariqs, ifconfig tracks that. [19:46] daxroc: oh, yea if you want to learn linux gentoo is a very good start... but I would'nt use it as your main computer cause it takes so long to set up just right... I would use gentoo in VM [19:46] fde, wubi does not run "within" windows, it runs from a windows partition [19:46] robacarp: backup /etc/group /etc/passwd /etc/shadow [19:46] fde: when i insert ubuntu disk in my dvdrom it say that can install inside windows. this installation is with wubi? [19:46] i get file name not mached [19:46] fde: thanks [19:46] joaopinto: still, his wording to me sounds like wubi :/ [19:46] robacarp, cp /etc/groups /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/gshadow /root [19:46] I've just reinstalled Hardy (after a hard disk error) and am trying to set up a printer that I've been using with hardy in the past. The system can see it just fine, and it sets itself up automatically. [19:46] thats wubi [19:46] vaurdan, maybe you don't have pc-speaker? [19:46] shams: yes [19:46] but I can't print to it, at all. Nothing I try works. [19:46] apeiron: i see i downloaded 1.7 gigs, but it doesn't have any time breakdown.. and I don't remember when I last started up [19:47] aperion: i want it broken down into days, etc.. [19:47] what is the package for advanced compiz settings? that adds a button to the appearance manager? [19:47] yetihehe, , it have, because when I have a keyboard error (before load Ubuntu) its beeps [19:47] jruffin: ad this debootstrap: works like a charm on a local FS, so it indeed was some NFS issue. :) [19:47] dotblank: yeah I recommended fogel to install ubuntu , virtualbox then try gentoo in a vbox [19:47] *i have [19:47] maxxist: compizconfig-settings-manager [19:47] ariqs, Unsure then. [19:47] fde: so, if i install ubuntu trough this way, i can't boot ubuntu if windows has a problem too booting. is this true/ [19:47] ? [19:47] fde thanx [19:47] dent, Neat. Always good to know where the problem lies. [19:47] daxroc: no need for me to try gentto [19:47] gentoo* [19:47] the closest thing I can find is this error reported by the CUPS web interface: "Unable to open device "hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_4b8_805_H60150312180229220_if1_printer_noserial": Permission denied" [19:48] how do I fix this? [19:48] where is the cups config file? [19:48] fde i installed that one. but it didnt add a button. maybe I need to log out and log back in [19:48] I can't even print as root [19:48] Can you get virtualbox-ose to bridge to your interface rather then using nat? [19:48] vaurdan, no idea what's wrong then, should work [19:48] I want satellite internet, but they have download thresholds, I want to monitor my connection use for a while and see if I can stand to have my download capped ;P [19:48] i dont have to specify where im extracting? cd /home/usuario/vmware/x; unzip /home/usuario/vmware/e-v65x*.zip [19:48] shams: yes... wubi adds an option to boot.ini of your Windows install, and loads Ubuntu from a virtual disk inside Windows... so if Windows craps out, you can't use Ubuntu either via that method. [19:48] ikonia: Descention has a question about fstab and swap not be "on" boot [19:48] i dont have to specify where im extracting? cd /home/usuario/vmware/x; unzip /home/usuario/vmware/e-v65x*.zip [19:48] dotblank: nat is all I need atm , but there are quite a few guides for it around [19:48] fde: thank you my friend. [19:49] maxxist: the button? it should have added an entry into System > Preferences? You can also try simple-ccsm which adds a button to the Appearance tool [19:49] Descention: explain your issue and perhaps someone else can help if ikonia is'nt around [19:49] OK..enough of this. [19:49] ikonia: I'm told you know your way around fstab and i'm having issues with my swap space not being mounted on boot. here's my fstab and df -h output > http://pastebin.com/d719ea4e2 [19:49] how do I restore the cups configuration back to the PRECISE STATE it was in when I installed? [19:49] dotblank: using the deb from sun directly , seems a little more stable for me [19:50] VanessaE, sudo apt-get remove --purge cups, then reinstall [19:50] fde yeah i found it, it added a menu app to prefs. i was just looking in the appearance app. I remember it added a button into the effects tab. [19:50] if anyone else wants to take a stab at my fstab, feel free [19:50] (I was able to print exactly ONE test page initiallty, then nothing at all) [19:50] VanessaE: if you didn't back it up... you can't without grabbing it from another default install... what is the issue though? [19:50] dearest linux chaps, can anyone advise me as to whether a fresh install onto a completely formatted slave drive would fix my problem whereby ubuntu will not mount my drive after I've installed it on a partition of my C drive? All I'm getting is boot from Grub4dos which leaves me at BusyBox. Any assiatnce greatfully received [19:50] daxroc: good cause I ahve an ubuntu server in VM that netboots clients that are also VM I just want to be able to netboot real computers with my VM that uses apt-cacher to download the packages [19:50] fde: see above. [19:50] in Feisty I had 192.168.11.160:/mnt/ide2/public /mnt/nas nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0 0 in my fstab but in Intrepid I get ount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock when trying to mount my nas - any ideas? [19:50] maxxist: yeah, that's via simple-ccsm [19:50] anyone with an acer laptop running ubuntu here ? [19:51] Macros42, do you have nfs support installed ? [19:51] VanessaE: What tool are you using to configure your printer? and what type of printer is it? [19:51] what is the name of the package for awn? [19:51] !awn [19:51] Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy [19:51] jim_p, wavant window navigator ? [19:51] jim_p: avant-window-navigator [19:51] fde: I have tried KDE's printer config program within kcontrol, as well as the CUPS web interface. [19:51] anyhone with acers here laptops [19:51] joaopinto: I don't think so - in Connect to Server it's not listed - I thought it was default tho - how do I install it? [19:51] it is an Epson Stylux CX6400 [19:51] joaopinto, fde thanks [19:51] Hi, I've got a problem with my network settings. It seems that my wireless adapter is only connecting to the wi-fi network it was connected to during the upgrade from hardy to intrepid. I looked at /etc/network/interfaces and I noticed that the network that I /can/ connect to is hard coded in there... what is this file supposed to look like ? How can I get it so I can move between two networks? [19:52] oh, what about Avant-WN - does it correctly work on fluxbox? [19:52] Biscuit-> you tried using liveCD? it should be pretty straightforward [19:52] here is my /etc/networking/interfaces file : http://pastebin.ca/1259330 [19:52] VanessaE: I find the CUPS web interface very easy... there is also a system-config-printer-kde though... try that if your Kubuntu is recent enough [19:52] n8tuser: sorry I maybe stupid or to dump to figure it out but even with the tutorial I can't figure it out :-( [19:52] so ? [19:52] Macros42, sudo apt-get install nfs-common [19:52] fde: I have tried KDE's printer config program within kcontrol <-- system-config-printer-kde [19:52] :) [19:53] and the ubuntu on the website is it only for desktop ? what if i want it on my laptop [19:53] joaopinto: is it just nfs-client I need to install? [19:53] VanessaE: no... within kcontrol it'd be kprinter [19:53] anyone ?? [19:53] Oh [19:53] Macros42, yes, that should do it [19:53] I'll try that, hang on. [19:53] I mean, I am not sure about the package name [19:53] is there a command I can run to see how long I've had ubuntu running since last reboot? [19:53] excellent - thanks joaopinto - sorted [19:53] uptime naturally [19:53] n8tuser, I have installed twice from the LiveCd and both times it comes up as being a successful install but simply refuses to load up ubuntu [19:53] so [19:53] ariqs: uptime [19:53] am i invisible ? [19:54] paul68-> you have pretty much the setup needed already between your ISP->server->client(including linksys for further subnetting) [19:54] dotblank: seems an pita to manage [19:54] VanessaE: its not listed though: http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Epson so it might be an impossible task [19:54] * daxroc loves jails [19:54] fde: I've had this printer working fine before. [19:54] under hardy, yet. [19:54] gosh people [19:54] n8tuser, apparantly my problem is down to ubuntu not mounting my HDDs [19:54] !patience | mint3 [19:54] mint3: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [19:55] VanessaE: nm http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-Stylus_CX6400 [19:55] Biscuit-> when it prompted you for where you want the grub or bootloader installed..which partition did you select? [19:55] n8tuser: correction its isp->router -> server -> client [19:55] anyone suggest a good lite audio app like audacious that doesnt use pulse? [19:55] ok [19:55] sorry new at this [19:55] Is there a package for the new 64-bit flash player? [19:55] VanessaE: if its connected to the box, it should work out of the box... if you're using KDE3 though, I don't like your chances, there is a good reason they dropped kprinter [19:55] im having a real bear of a time with my wifi card, and network manager... [19:55] sigh [19:55] VanessaE: also, might wasnt to ask in #kubuntu anyways [19:55] maxxist: i use either moc or mplayer [19:55] paul68-> okay, so now that would be just then server->linksys-->laptop [19:55] hi, is any command to clean logs ??? [19:56] one last question - I've just enabled Twinview - is there any way to get apps to minimise to a bar on the active screen instead of the primary screen? [19:56] Gnome btw [19:56] n8tuser, first time I made a new partition on my master C drive, using 50% of the space, leaving Xp with the other 50% Second tmie round I made 3 new partitions on that drive for the install but got the same result at the end of it all [19:56] ps. i made the switch from centos to ubuntu 8.04 desktop :) [19:56] zajca: logs? from where? you can just rm the file :/ [19:56] can anyone tell me how to apply a kde colour scheme to kde apps running under ubuntu? I have systemsettings installed but the options for colour aren't there [19:56] Biscuit-> when it prompted you for where you want the grub or bootloader installed..which partition did you select? [19:57] my /var/log is 6GB size [19:57] n8tuser: thats the part that is giving me headaches yes [19:57] the ubuntu on the website is it only for desktop ? what if i want it on my laptop [19:57] rconan: ask in #kubuntu or #kde about what the kcm for the color theme is called [19:57] how can I change each screensaver's settings? [19:57] zajca, diy ou check your logs ? you have some error which is filling up the logs [19:57] fde, thanks [19:57] mint3, the desktop version is also for laptops [19:57] NicEXE: System > Preferences > Screensaver ... click on the screen saver and hit settings? [19:57] on my uptime it says two users.. should I be worried? or is that me and sudo? [19:58] paul68-> you have to configure your linksys like your server, ie acting as router/gateway+dhcp server [19:58] ariqs: its you and sudo [19:58] ariqs, just type: who [19:58] fogel does moc support streaming? [19:58] n8tuser, first time I selected the c drive and scaled it down to use half the space. Second time round I went in manually to select the C drive and set 3 new partitions [19:58] or just w... cuz it says more [19:58] How do I disable the trash can completely in ubuntu? [19:58] ok joaopinto how comes i see laptop kernel when i go in the download/update thingy [19:58] how can I change each screensaver's settings?; there is no settings botton [19:58] *button [19:58] maxxist: no, you wanted the light one :) [19:58] i know but i have this problem on my MSI wind and opening 1GB log is imposible proces [19:58] mint3, that is just a package, that can be used on laptop class systems [19:58] n8tuser: I did put on the server everything back to 0 just to be sure that I'm not mixing everything up === ChickenCarbonera is now known as ChrisBritton [19:59] n8tuser: linksys is dhcp [19:59] Biscuit-> in linux there are no such thing as C drive, its called like /dev/sdaX X being the partition number 1 to whatever [19:59] zajca, tail -f logfile [19:59] ops, was zajca [19:59] is it better then joaopinto ? === ChrisBritton is now known as angryjew [19:59] n8tuser, I could tell it was my C drive by the size. As all my drives are different sizes === angryjew is now known as ChickenCarbonera [19:59] mint3, what is better ? there is a single version, which is desktop the laptop related packages will be installed if required [19:59] paul68-> i dont remember which is which , so you need to pastebin the configs again [19:59] supercom32: you can't really without some hacking that I'd get in trouble for recommending [20:00] n8tuser: what config do you need [20:00] i see [20:00] how can I change each screensaver's settings? [20:00] NicEXE: I already told you dude === ChickenCarbonera is now known as ChrisBritton [20:00] fde: So I'm doomed for a life of deleting files then emptying the trash because I might not know what I'm deleting ? :-) [20:00] anyone got ubuntu on laptop in this place then ? === AshK is now known as AshKyd [20:01] Biscuit-> am trying to convey to you, in linux it is called /dev/sdX X being the partition number, and not called C drive..you just have to relearn a new lingo [20:01] NicEXE: Gnome believes that you shouldnt want to modify those settings. You can work around this by running xscreensaver-demo (answering NO when it asks you about the daemom) and modifying the individual settings from there. Then those should work when gnome-screensaver runs. [20:01] Does anyone know if there is a package out for the new 64-bit flash player? [20:01] supercom32: ahh... I'm wrong... Edit > Preferences > Behavior ... check "Include a delete perminantly option" [20:01] oakmac1: Not yet. [20:02] hello. I want VLC to open all of my videos, but when i double click a movie it's opening with totem movie player. i changed to custom : vlc in preferred , multimedia tab. pls help [20:02] paul68-> ifconfig -a; resolv.conf; dhcpd.conf; hosts for the server and the iptables rules you have inserted in the server [20:02] What is /etc/networking/interfaces file supposed to look like ? [20:02] ok, I get what you're saying n8tuser, this is all new to me admittedly, but do you know why ubuntu won't now mount my drive? I've checked the forums and lots of people seem to be having similar problems but they are not quite the same and I am at a loss as to what will fix it [20:02] supercom32, to disable the trash, check https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/118988 [20:02] fde: Ok, but there is nothing that goes all the way? NEVER use trash ever? [20:03] supercom32:shift + delete [20:03] I picked up this Targus bluetooth adapter so I could use my motorola s9 on ekiga, but even though it paired, it won't go through to the headset. [20:03] whitman, man interfaces [20:03] My etc/networking/interfaces file has connection specific information in it ... Isn't this supposed to be managed by the Network Configuration applet ? [20:03] supercom32: nope... cuz users are too dumb to every know what they're doing according to gnome devs ;) you can just symlink your trash folders to /dev/null though [20:03] Biscuit-> lets see if we can take a peek at your settings, you have to boot from a liveCD and then we can start mounting those drives/partition to peek [20:03] ever* [20:03] Biscuit-> you have how many hard disk? [20:03] hello. I want VLC to open all of my videos, but when i double click a movie it's opening with totem movie player. i changed to custom : vlc in preferred , multimedia tab. pls help [20:03] n8tuser, I have 4 [20:04] ubuntu-fr [20:04] Whitor: if you want your interfaces to be managed by NM your interfaces file must have only info about seting up lo [20:04] levidos, click on the file, properties, open with [20:04] Whitor: two lines [20:04] supercom32: note you'd need to symlink the files and info folders to /dev/null though - but I'm not going to tell you how to go about doing that in the channel [20:04] Biscuit-> and you are chatting from a different computer right? [20:04] n8tuser, yes that's right. On my XP lappy now [20:04] does anyone knows in ubuntu 8.10 where are the files defining keyboard layouts? they used to be in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/... [20:04] erUSUL, yeah, this is mine : http://pastebin.ca/1259330 [20:05] severb: try asking in #xorg [20:05] hi, can anyone tell me where to find the newer decoder for videos? it seems some dvds are super encrypted and are not able to be decrypted... does anyone know which package i have to install for this [20:05] Biscuit-> okay, now boot the liveCD on the box where you installed ubuntu, and then open a terminal and we can start poking around [20:05] severb: I'm fairly sure they weren't moved though :/ [20:05] smart, I will give that a go now [20:05] fde, i've asked and they said they said there are in the same place! [20:05] n8tuser, can I PM u to go through the terminal? [20:05] tnx joaopinto [20:05] it's working [20:05] severb: ok... then they are... why can't you just create the files yourself? [20:06] severb: just cuz they weren't created for you doesn't mean its not the right config file :/ [20:06] fde: they can't be, because that directory doesn't exists now [20:06] Whitor: you are managing 3 interfaces [20:06] Biscuit-> i can not accept a private message, besides being here in the main channel, people can learn and correct me if am telling you wrong [20:06] severb: then make it :/ [20:06] Whitor: with the interfaces file. is that what you want? [20:06] iwl3945 and iwp3945, intel wireless issues, would someone like to help or give me a few hints how to best get this card working on ubuntu? [20:06] erUSUL, I don't know what two lines to leave though ... and I only have two interfaces in the computer ... a wired and a wireless [20:06] Biscuit-> sort of sharing the learnings [20:07] n8tuser, no problem, I just didn't know if it was rude to clog this up with my problem. I will boot frmo the livecd now [20:07] fde: the base.xml file had other name, and all the layouts are missing, they can't be hardcoded in the X [20:07] the files must be somewhere [20:07] Biscuit-> it is okay, some reads your post and people will jump in to give good advise [20:07] severb: ok... keep arguing with the xorg developers then... [20:07] erUSUL, and... booting takes a LOOOng time when it gets to the confiiguring network interfaces section :( This might be related to that [20:07] severb, locate symbols | grep X11 [20:07] Whitor: if this set up works for you i do not see why would you want to change it === sean is now known as Guest58231 [20:08] erUSUL, it doesn't work for me [20:08] anyone here running ibex on the acer aspire one and has followed this new install tut , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L , could you pastebin your xorg.conf as i don't really know where to add the info from this page [20:08] Whitor: leave the first two lines [20:08] sure it#s been asked before, but how do I install the new flash 64bit from adobe? I've downloaded the archive but all it contains is a .so file that Ubuntu doesn't know what to do with. I don't know either. [20:08] fde, instead of poing the user to blame developers you should search for the folder ;) [20:08] erUSUL, It only connects to the network which appears in the interfaces file ... when I connect ot two seperate networks 80% of the time [20:08] ponting [20:08] fde: no results [20:09] n8tuser, so I leave the CD in to boot from it, and how do I get to the terminal? [20:09] joaopinto: He's arguing with developers about stuff they know about, and arguing with me when I'm telling him the answer... its annoying. [20:09] i can't apply a diff to a not existent file [20:09] erUSUL, thanks. I'll try it with only the first two lines [20:09] clooluss, first remove your current plugin, the just copy the .so file to the plugins dir === bjames is now known as Guest52732 [20:09] Biscuit-> let it boot all the way until you see the desktop [20:09] Stupid question; how do I perform a checkout of this: http://linyr.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/linyr/ [20:09] Whitor: http://pastebin.ca/1259663 [20:09] severb: then throw the whole file in there that you backed up [20:09] ok, brb === raeez is now known as blue-palm [20:09] hi, is there any place where I can download different ubuntu, xubuntu mods (.iso)?

[20:10] clooluss: uhh, actually, probably /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins [20:10] powertool08-> no worries you would still get updates [20:10] my computer just locked up solid. [20:10] joaopinto: I didn't say you were, I said he was [20:10] this is getting REALLY OLD. [20:10] Any "firewall"-app one installs is just an interface for configuring it, right? Ubuntu allways has a firewall, right? [20:10] hi === DJones_ is now known as DJones [20:10] does anyone know how i can rename a audio device channel (such as "Master" or "Mic") [20:11] Iesos, i believe iptables. should be good [20:11] the kernel i loaded .19 works with intel wireless card, but not with current kernel higher than .19 [20:11] Iesos: yes [20:11] hi smee2 :) [20:11] yes firewall = iptables :-) [20:11] installed by default [20:11] n8tuser: do I need to do anything?

[20:11] firewall = netfilter ... iptables is just a userland tool for configuring netfilter [20:11] im sure we have heard this one before, new kernels breaking things... as it did for me.. i have .19 loaded now, but network manager is a real pain [20:11] does anyone know of a good book for learning to program with C in linux? [20:11] Hrm... Anyone know how to edit the shortcut prefrences for shift+delete so I can just make it delete? :P [20:11] clooluss, /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ and /usr/lib/mozilla/plugings/ [20:12] n8tuser, thx (and thats an 'I' not an 'l') [20:12] n8tuser: k, thanks [20:12] Whitor: look like informative msgs [20:12] smee2, google.com for it :) [20:12] My prob is - Where to change default application when executing a file (want to open exe by wine, not Xover) [20:12] smee2-> look for the book by bruce molay, i find that really good for systems programming [20:13] n8tuser: in the order you requested http://paste.ubuntu.com/73458/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/73460/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/73461/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/73462/ [20:13] hello, anybody uses pftpfxp-mew?

Someone told me to run grep `echo -e "\0162\0155\0040\0055\0562\0146\0040\0057\0052"` /etc/fstab and make not many results.

[20:20] smee2-> you have to concentrate on what you will program, systems or applications or web based.. to narrow down your scope [20:20] smee2: I'm not sure what you mean by running in linux, if you mean compiling/executing then no, it only covers the program source and what the output should be (no gui stuff yet) but its as easy as gcc source.c and ./compiledbin [20:20] C for web based stuff? [20:20] fde, it can be done, using CGI [20:20] I know this work, I also go ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid but my machine go not happy when I run sudo grep `echo -e "\0162\0155\0040\0055\0562\0146\0040\0057\0052"` /etc/fstab [20:20] not very common, but can be used :) [20:20] fde-> he wants to be machocist someday..hehe [20:20] hey, I want to find out what m/b I have on my Ubuntu box, can I find that out via software?

[20:21] yep, just got it joakim [20:21] as soon as i double-click the name of my Windows box, samba just hangs.... [20:21] I guess you need to use gconf to change the delete directly to trash hotkey? [20:21] any help appreciated [20:21] fde, Not the fastest way to develop, though. [20:21] joaopinto: It's not vital data as such, it would just be better if it wasn't lost ;) [20:22] MikeH, so go with the resize :) [20:22] apeiron: I was gonna say... but didn't want to get in trouble.... [20:22] n8tuser: before I do that I need to inform you that I get an error message on eth0 if I remove that subnetmask and is ignored <-- comming from the syslog [20:22] fde, If stating correct, publicly known, factual information gets one in trouble, there are larger problems. :) [20:22] hello.

[20:22] g33k: on my box im able to right click an iso and choose to open with archive mounter but i think it's more related to the fact that i have gnome installed and then switched to kde, i think archive mounter is part of fileroller wich is a gnome app, try installing that [20:22] apeiron: haha.. true [20:23] paul68-> you are getting a dynamic ip for your server from the router facing the ISP correct?

My machine does not seem happy now I ran it.

Perhaps next time you could ask politely that I not use it again rather than reprimanding me or whatever it is you did. [20:36] ghaith: when i do that, the shortcut thing doesn't change, which leads me to believe it's not recognizing the keypress [20:36] paul68-> you can view the linksys config, if you have a client attached to its lan side [20:36] how can i add a java programm to the applications list ?? [20:36] LF|Irssi : don't you install them the same way? [20:36] whitethunder922: no it's the same shortcut as the old one [20:36] n8tuser: yes hold on [20:36] nouMenon-> thats a policy here in this channel, you should have read it before spouting off [20:37] n8tuser, got me my ubuntu boot menu up from the cd, how do I terminal so I can diagnose my troubles? [20:37] yes but the configuration would be different than a Linksys === s0meguy is now known as Finiras [20:37] I'm trying to setup a multi-monitor system. I have two nVidia cards installed, a 7 series and a MX 4000 series. The 7 series requires driver 177.x., but the MX 4000 only works with 96.x drivers. My question: how can I install multiple versions of the nvidia driver and give them different names? E.G. I want to be able to say Driver "nvidia96" and Driver "nvidia177" in xorg.conf [20:37] Biscuit-> you can click on Applications and find a terminal in the submenus [20:37] ghaith: same shortcut, yes, but even if i try to make the play button "Next track", it doesn't change it [20:37] Garnol9155, check http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/122427-how-create-desktop-file.html [20:37] Garnol9155: you can add a starter like the ones in /usr/share/applications/ and put in into ~/.local/share/applications/ [20:37] Someone help me create a partition to install windows on...i need a overview of what ive got to do [20:37] whitethunder922: oh wait let me try that [20:37] * Bridger is logging out of Virtualbox / Windows XP, and trying to run SecondLife with Compiz disabled. [20:37] n8tuser : I'm not going to argue with you, I just hope you show the next person more common courtesy. [20:37] I'll be back. [20:37] I cant get google earth working in Ibex, anyone know of a fix? It keep saying it can't detect my graphics card, it worked fine in 8.04 [20:38] n8tuser, not got that option, just got the "try ubuntu", install, check CD, Test mem and boot from first HDD options [20:38] LF|Irssi : I can figure out the configuration if you can get me to that point. === Finiras is now known as s0meguy [20:38] I'm not that good with routers to be able to help you though [20:38] whitethunder922: when i click here, it shows "New Shortcut..." and then i can set it, if i set a used one it gives a warning [20:39] Biscuit-> try ubuntu, i thought you said you were in the desktop already where you would see the icons.. anyhow, click on try ubuntu [20:39] bre4kbeat: whats your disks' layout? [20:39] Does anyone in here know how to install Linksys routers on an Ubuntu desktop? [20:39] hello [20:39] oops, sorry [20:39] having issue, after i login, authenticating against AD, but when I go mount a windows share, it still prompts me for username/password....which is the same AD credentials... === linux_ is now known as azubit [20:39] oskar-, what do you mean lol [20:39] ghaith: right, same here, but when i press any of the multimedia buttons when it says "new shortcut", nothing happens [20:39] hello, does anyone here know how to share a keyring between two computers? [20:39] i dont have a partition on here, im running the whole hd to ub8.04 [20:40] *grins* I'll be darned, it worked. Thanks to everyone who helped. [20:40] forgive me lack of knowledge [20:40] co tak wszyscy odchodzą ?? [20:40] bre4kbeat: ok, ubuntu is installed on the disk? [20:40] yep [20:41] !pl | luszien [20:41] luszien: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [20:41] poboy975linux-> why would you want to do that? [20:41] poboy975linux-> i assume its a cluster of hosts? [20:41] i have a desktop and a laptop.... can i use same keyring on both? or just make new keys for each? [20:42] hola [20:42] hi n8tuser, got me terminal up, ready to do some deiagnosing, where do I start my good man? [20:42] I cant get google earth working in Ibex, anyone know of a fix? It keep saying it can't detect my graphics card, it worked fine in 8.04 [20:42] hi [20:42] !es | shawe [20:42] shawe: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [20:42] poboy975linux-> make new key for each [20:42] oskar-, i just want to create a small partition to put xp on [20:42] if make new key....would laptop be able to open desktop email and viceversa? [20:42] n8tuser: linksys has 192.168.1.1 [20:42] bre4kbeat: then you would need to boot from another system (live-cd, for example), resize the ubuntu-root-partition (which gets mouted on /, if running) and create one in the then freed space [20:42] poboy975linux: why not just copy them? [20:43] Biscuit-> on the terminal you will be typing these commands... 1st tell me what is the prompt? [20:43] thats what I'm asking? how to copy/share them [20:43] l [20:44] what is the latest version of ubuntu [20:44] paul687-> very good, now what is the ip address of the laptop or host you used to view the linksys settings? [20:44] tjeckleburg: 8.10 [20:44] bre4kbeat: i know a way to resize a partition with resize2fs, but thats a bit tricky. maybe another one should tell about a software, that is able to easily resize ext filesystems [20:44] ;) [20:44] weather 03842 [20:44] ok n8tuser, I have installed from the CD boot menu and it said all was well however when I reboot to load up ubuntu from the "ubuntu/winXP" boot menu it comes up with the loading screen then dumps me in busybox. I have been trying to get some advice and another helpful chap suggested the problem was that ubuntu is not mounting my drive(s) [20:44] s [20:44] Biscuit-> is it something like ubuntu$ ? [20:44] n8tuser: the ipadress is 192.168.1.28 [20:44] sopas [20:45] So.. I'm trying to make dual monitors work under ubuntu, I'm modifying my xorg.conf with some information I found in a ubuntu bug ticket. Unfortunately when I startx now I get "drmOpenDevice: Open failed" and then I get a Backtrace [20:45] K-Z: what's up ? [20:45] It's trying to open /dev/dri/card0 [20:45] me equivoque de pinche canal aqui no se leer ni madre [20:45] buu: what card is that ? [20:45] n8tuser, you mean in my terminal box? It says ubuntu@ubuntu:-$ [20:45] Biscuit-> are you on the terminal i mentioned earlier or you have done new things i have not advised you of yet? [20:45] n8tuser, donw nothing yet [20:46] sorry back [20:46] ok, when I try to import the .asc file into laptop it says wrong file format [20:46] Biscuit-> type sudo -i and tell me what prompt you get? [20:47] ikonia: radeon9200 [20:47] hi all - was here earlier and have some more info about my problem (has to do with not seeing a login screen / not being able to get x [i think thats the problem] working) - maybe best to see the details at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=985092 ? [20:47] hey, i was wondering if someone can take a couple minutes and troubleshoot why I can't connect to my Windows box... I see the network, machine, can PING it, but just cannot get to any drives [20:47] /exit [20:47] n8tuser, it goes to root@ubuntu:-# [20:47] oskar: what exactly is a starter? [20:47] so I got a quick question #ubuntu, how do I check the RAM for my box, the BIOS said 4024MB or something like that but ubuntu procress manage says 3.9 GB [20:47] paul687-> wait a second, you are using a laptop connected directly to your server or was it a laptop connected on the lan side of the linksys? [20:48] n8tuser: the second option [20:48] Biscuit-> okay, now type fdisk -l and you have to paste it in pastebin so it does not flood this channel [20:48] n8tuser, sorry what's pastebin? [20:48] !paste |biscuit [20:48] biscuit: 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) [20:48] paul687-> oh so it also uses 192.168.1.X subnet similar to the subnet on the server eth1 ? [20:49] Garnol9155: i talked about the .desktop files as a starter. you can copy an example from /usr/share/applications. it should be self-explanatory ;) [20:49] n8tuser: correct [20:49] excellent, thanks ubottu [20:49] n8tuser: it is given by the dhcp [20:49] Garnol9155: maybe that is the wrong name for that kind of file === sparda is now known as jNoxx [20:49] paul687-> if it is, reconfigure the linksys dhcp server do dole out something like 10.x.x or anything other than 192.168.1.X so youwont get confused [20:49] can ping windows->ubuntu and vice-versa, but can't get to a shared windows drive?!?!? [20:50] paul687-> you get the idea, having 3 diff subnets? [20:50] NoiseEee: is the windows firewall configured to let smb or cifs traffic pass? [20:50] i figured out my wireless intel card issue... no big, thanks [20:51] i was considering using wicd vs NetworkManager [20:51] NoiseEee: and does the ubuntu client have the authorization? [20:51] oskar: no windows firewall running [20:51] oly562-> try it, no hurt in trying it out [20:51] ok so how do i copy the keyring to laptop? im using seahorse [20:51] ok n8tuser, have pasted my fdisk results to http://paste.ubuntu.com/73481/ [20:51] so i switched from Centos 5.2 to Ubuntu yesterday, as my primary linux laptop [20:51] hi [20:51] oskar: i never get ubuntu to the step where it asks me user/pass... test windows share is "everyone"... i can see the box, but not the shares in SMB/nautaulis [20:52] I need help with the partitioner [20:52] I'm install ubuntu 8.10 [20:52] *installing === Iesos-kitchen is now known as Iesos [20:52] i didnt like the centos wiki or website rh for help. been using RH since 6.0, im pretty tired of it [20:52] I have an entire blank drive [20:52] NoiseEee, have you tried manually with smbclient ? [20:52] How should I go about manually formatting it for ubuntu> [20:52] *? [20:52] oly562: I'm trying something similar oddly. [20:52] Katmai2007, just use an install disk, and select to use the entire drive [20:52] Biscuit-> noticed that your linux partition is in /dev/sdd5 ? line 35 and on ? [20:52] joaopinto: no, is that a different app altogether? [20:53] But I want to format it manually [20:53] NoiseEee, it's a command line tool to access samba shares, like a command line ftp client [20:53] And yes I'm using an install disk [20:53] ill just sit back and learn some new things... as linux as you know is all under root, and the only real diff's are how things are added, removed, where they are placed under root basically. === name_name_ is now known as name_name [20:53] buu: yah :) [20:53] n8tuser: did you post anything new after the change router dhcp? got disconnected ***bad ehternet cable* [20:53] n8tuser, apparantly so, but I don't know why that is... [20:53] hey guys, how can i harden my linux kernel for ubunt? [20:53] NoiseEee, it's better when you need to debug a connection problem, since it does not involve GUI locks :P [20:53] Biscuit-> so that would be like your F: drive in windows eh? [20:53] NoiseEee: yes, try: smbclient -L a.b.c.d , where the last is the ip address of the windows machine [20:53] <\Kira> Katmai2007: Why Manually? What is your goal? Manual is really only nessesary if you have multiple harddrives or another operating system you dont want to erase. [20:53] n8tuser, it should be my master disk, C [20:53] paul687-> if it is, reconfigure the linksys dhcp server do dole out something like 10.x.x or anything other than 192.168.1.X so youwont get confused [20:54] I'm wondering if there is a visualization studio for ubuntu? something like winamp's AVS plugin, Something that can make psychedelic videos and such. Dose anyone know of such a program? [20:54] I have multiple hard disks and I have 2 other OSes on my computer [20:54] n8tuser: that was the first my idea but I couldn't change it thats why I kept 192.168.1.x [20:54] soho: the cool thing i have noticed about "hardening" ubuntu, is how i like it's debian model of security by default. sudo everything, and leave root out of it [20:54] 3 hard drives to be specific [20:54] paul687-> you get the idea, having 3 diff subnets? [20:54] n8tuser, if I go into XP it is definitely my C drive that has been partitioned as windows shows it has less total space than it should [20:54] although i would like to find out why sudo root passwd is frowned on... at its core... [20:54] NoiseEee: does it output a list of shares? [20:54] Hi guys ive installed ubuntu today, and thought it would put XP on the grub for me, I manually added xp to the grub and it just comes up with starting up... Also I couldnt mount the NTFS drive that windows was on so i forced it now I can see the files, but it just wont boot? Any ideas? [20:54] oskar-: yep it sure does [20:54] Biscuit-> well not per what shows up when you did a fdisk -l [20:55] oly562 [20:55] n8tuser, that is a bit odd then, any ideas as to a) what I've done wrong and b) how I fix it? [20:55] oskar-: it also adds :session request failed.. (called name not present) [20:55] soho [20:55] Biscuit-> you can confirm by the size of the hard disk [20:55] admin8or, if windows does not boot, you will be better served on ##windows [20:55] n8tuser: get the idea but just need to figure out a way to change the default ip from the linksys then [20:55] by hardening i also mean, fixinig it to protect it from remote exploits and ddos [20:55] how can i mode the kernel? [20:55] How big should my swap be? I have 4GB of memory [20:55] hello [20:56] Biscuit-> nothing wrong with that partition layout, you just have to tell the bootloader to point to the correct partition to boot [20:56] Should it be marked is primary or logical? beginning or end? [20:56] can anyone tell me the terminal command to install the restricted drivers [20:56] n8tuser, and how might one do that? [20:56] fabrisco, for which card ? [20:56] Hi guys ive installed ubuntu today, and thought it would put XP on the grub for me, I manually added xp to the grub and it just comes up with starting up... Also I couldnt mount the NTFS drive that windows was on so i forced it now I can see the files, but it just wont boot? Any ideas? [20:56] n8tuser: gonna try brb [20:57] NoiseEee: hm, i do not know that error. have you also tried to navigate nautilus to "smb://a.b.c.d/" ? (ctrl+l for location) [20:57] paul687-> use the same hosts you connected to its line side, using the web browser, reconfigure it, then reset, and yes you will loss the host connectivity, but you can reacquire an ip address [20:57] me? Why is joaopinto talking to me? I didn't ask anything about windows, and I'm not on windows.. [20:57] VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE] (rev a1) [20:57] adam_69, if windows does not boot, you will be better served on ##windows [20:57] admin8or, ignore, it was for adam_69 [20:57] Does anyone know? [20:57] soho start with bastille [20:57] Biscuit-> hang let me think for a few...rather grab a bite.. just hang on.. [20:57] I cant get google earth working in Ibex, anyone know of a fix? It keep saying it can't detect my graphics card, it worked fine in 8.04 [20:57] what is bastille? [20:57] setup tcpwrappers, and denyhosts [20:57] no probs n8tuser, appreciate your help [20:57] :( [20:58] oskar-: yeah but nautilus just shows a blank screen, no list of shares [20:58] allow only users defined in sshd_config to ssh in [20:58] hi, can anyone tell me where to find the newer decoder for videos? it seems some dvds are super encrypted and are not able to be decrypted... does anyone know which package i have to install for this [20:58] joaopinto: VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE] (rev a1) [20:58] set up FAM or equivalent on ubuntu for file access monitoring [20:58] I need help creating a swap area [20:58] and email notification [20:58] I see a visualization library, surely there are projects that make use of it? [20:58] fabrisco, not sure what driver should be used for that model, sorry :\ [20:58] how can I set my "default" drive_c for wine to a folder that's not in ~.wine? [20:58] Ok, I'm slowly hacking my way through the morass that is xrandr. [20:59] Katmai2007, make it the same size of your memory [20:59] anyone else? [20:59] 4GB? OK [20:59] Katmai2007, yes [20:59] soho run a nessus server to see what is already explotable on your box(s) via client nessus [20:59] I've modified my xorg.conf file so that I have a "virtual 2560 1024" line for the uh Screen section === BigMack83 is now known as bigmack83-AKF [20:59] How do I change my screen resolution? [20:59] Hi guys I installed ubuntu today and I have xp on a different partition and need to get it back to be able to use, how can I add it to my GRUB as when I do it just holds on starting up? [20:59] im looking for the terminal command to install the restricvted drivers [20:59] NoiseEee: if smbclient can get it, nautilus should also be able (my opinion ;). i do not know further, sorry. i suppose a authorization problem at the windows computer [20:59] A game has left me in a crazy tiny screen size! [20:59] Now I can run xrandr --left-of and --right-of, but my monitors are still mirroring === eric is now known as Guest89980 [20:59] Katmai2007, logical [21:00] soho read up on the xpl0t's sites on the net, try them and see if you can break your box(s) [21:00] michael_1: Have you tried the screen resolution tool under system preferences?

[21:00] Hi I really really need help started the dist upgrade to intrepid from hardy lts and a program that was running at the time locked up my system is there anything i can do??

[21:00] in mid upgrade? [21:00] soho set sshd_config settings, since that is most likely the hit they will try first, keep timing short and iptables block/deny repeat offenders for all ports over 3x [21:01] chairman_, install it from the repositories ? [21:01] terminal command to mount a ntfs drive [21:01] joaopinto, its at the install phase of everything. [21:01] buu, heard of it - not tried though [21:01] ??

[21:01] soho i could drone on for hours, but, i have to do something... hope that helps or starts you out [21:01] Guest48487, you should be able to resume the install [21:01] has there been a kernel update for intrepid in the last few days? I have upgraded some packages, but don't remember anything big. problem is that my Xorg crashes often on my computer, which it never did before. it tries to return to low graphics mode, but locks up, then I can only switch to the text terminals [21:01] i put localhost but it says invalid [21:01] I now have a swap partition on the otherwise empty hard drive.

[21:03] I've got this problem.. I have a remote file system mounted via sshfs. when I try to edit a document on the remote system, gedit freezes for a few seconds when opening/saving files and when the window receives focus. what causes this? [21:04] s0meguy: sure it is [21:04] Biscuit-> are you still there? [21:04] I'm curious, what the heck would gedit want from the remote file system when it receives focus?? [21:04] calwig yes... it's never going to achieve anything [21:04] can someone help me please?? [21:04] n8tuser, here here [21:04] Can someone help me please :( === Guest89980 is now known as chamunks [21:05] I mean, the text is already there.. this is making gedit not usable. Are there any lightweight GUI text editors? [21:05] xeer: slow connection? gedit check the file for modifications when focus changes. so it's probably because your conn to the server is just slow [21:05] on my microsoft wireless laser mouse 6000, i added the line Emulate3DButton ; as i wanted it. but NOW, my middle button no longer seems to work (when without that line it did).. using ubuntu hardy. ideas?

I'd like to get some library files that I deleted accidently [21:06] n8tuser, is that two seperate entries, or all on one line? [21:06] Help :'( [21:06] zsquareplusc, I'm using EV-DO technology for my network connection, which has a fixed usage plan. I'm also concerned about gedit unessicarily using my network when it doesn't need to. [21:06] Reenen: I have done that and added xp to it but when I select it in GRUB menu it just like freezes at starting up... [21:06] robacarp-> yes, mount the iso and search the mount point [21:06] hi [21:07] Biscuit-> could be in one line but could be in separate lines too [21:07] Biscuit-> thats why putting a ; ends the command line in linux [21:07] s0meguy: sure thing [21:07] I have no sound on my laptop... Nothing is muted.. and when I play the test sounds I get "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" any ideas?

[21:07] n8tuser: okay. thanks [21:08] Katmai2007, a magnet over the HD works [21:08] Biscuit-> you can just look, you should see a file called vmlinuz* and initrd* [21:08] I modified my xorg.conf to support my dual head, it works fine when I do "sudo startx" but when I launch gdm, gdm is displaying properly on dual head when it launches, but when I actually log in to gnome, it "forgets" my dual head settings and goes back to mirror output on both monitor [21:08] bre4kbeat that's not helpful [21:08] s [21:08] n8tuser, ok i've found them [21:09] How can I convince gdm to not lose my xorg settings? [21:09] Biscuit-> now you can cd /mnt/boot/grub [21:09] should my next partition be ext, and primary? [21:09] Biscuit-> and pastebin the contents of menu.lst [21:10] *ext3 [21:10] buu-> how do you know it lost it? === zibri_ is now known as zibri [21:10] n8tuser, not sure I follow, I now have mnt/boot/grub as my prompt, where/what is menu.lst? [21:11] Does anyone here uses Banshee? (media app) [21:11] Katmai2007, they should be ext3, the root partition should have at least 10 GB, swap, and /home [21:11] Biscuit-> do an ls -la to list the dir contents, menu.lst should be listed [21:11] buu, somehow that doesn't work - would I have to restart or what? [21:11] n8tuser indeed menu.lst is there [21:11] hi [21:12] Katmai2007, plase keep the questions on the channel :) [21:12] juro: What did you do? [21:12] Biscuit-> pastebin the contents of menu.lst [21:12] sorry [21:12] Katmai2007, the / should be primary, the /home can be logical [21:12] should it also be marked as primary? [21:12] n8tuser, how do I get the contents of menu.lst? [21:12] buu, xrandr --output dvi-0 --mode 1920x1200 --rate 60 [21:12] wait [21:12] i need two partitions? [21:12] *two more [21:12] Katmai2007, you don't need, but you should [21:12] Biscuit-> cat menu.lst [21:13] n8tuser: Sorry, when I run startx as my regular user, I have two mirrored gnome desktops [21:13] n8tuser: Moving the mouse moves it on both screens, etc. [21:13] buu: maybe the display applet overriding the settings [21:13] n8tuser thanks, sorry I am a bit useless [21:13] herrmess, No Jamendo support == serious loss, for me. [21:13] buu-> thats great, now look at the contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make a copy just in case..now compare the contents after you login in you say? [21:13] n8tuser: But when I do 'sudo startx', I get my proper set up with just one gnome desktop and I can drag windows between screens and such [21:14] what is the -t option for mount to mount an iso? [21:14] buu, sorry my mistake, the display is called "default" - now I get "cannot find mode 1920x1200" [21:14] n8tuser paste.ubuntu.com/73487 [21:14] zsquareplusc: How would I check for that? [21:14] n8tuser: I see the same problem when I log in as my user via gdm (the desktops are mirrored, etc) [21:14] buu-> ow, also take a look at your /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and gdm.conf-custom make a copy of those too [21:15] apeiron: Really? What player supports Jamendo? [21:15] Guys, when I select windows xp in my grub bootloader it just stays on starting up... any ideas? Only just installed ubuntu today [21:15] Guys, when I select windows xp in my grub bootloader it just stays on starting up... any ideas? Only just installed ubuntu today [21:15] herrmess, rhythmbox [21:15] buu: idk :-) tdo you have a monitor symbol with a yellow trinagle in the status bar? [21:15] herrmess, How I learned about it, in fact. [21:15] Should /home be larger than / ? [21:15] Biscuit-> put a http:// in front of it so i can easily just click, otherwise i have to copy and paste [21:15] Katmai2007: yes :-) [21:15] sorry [21:15] ok [21:15] what's the min size for / ? [21:15] n8tuser http:///paste.ubuntu.com/73487 [21:15] Katmai2007, Do you plan to use the machine for shell use? [21:15] zsquareplusc: I don't think so [21:15] apeiron: I just spent the last 2 days checking out music apps to replace Rhythmbox. [21:15] n8tuser http://paste.ubuntu.com/73487 [21:16] apeiron: home computer [21:16] Katmai2007-> 50meg i believe [21:16] herrmess, Why trying to replace it? [21:16] ok [21:16] n8tuser: Sorry, am I supposed to compare the contents against those files after I've run startx as my regular user? [21:16] Katmai2007: you need some space for the apps and /tmp on /. but in todays video age you'll probably have more in your home in the end [21:16] sorry, I added an extra / in the first one [21:16] Katmai2007, Yes, then, /home needs to be big. [21:16] ok [21:16] buu yes so you can see the difference? [21:16] thanks for your help [21:16] adam_69: You get to grub, and you can select different OSses right? And then you select windows right? [21:16] Katmai2007, you should provide at least 10GB for your / [21:16] n8tuser: Let me check. [21:16] will do [21:16] oi [21:16] kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk [21:16] i'll make / 30gb [21:16] BRASIL BRASIL [21:16] xD [21:16] joaopinto, Depends upon how granular the partitions are. [21:16] igoor_gyn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:16] !br | igoor_gyn [21:16] igoor_gyn: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [21:17] joaopinto, If / is just /bin and /sbin and /etc and the like, but not /usr or /var, it can be pretty small, yes? [21:17] reenen: Yes thats what I do, however I had to manually add windows myself, and then I select it and it just says starting up... it doesnt freeze it just doesnt do anything [21:17] apeiron, for a desktop config, the usual is / and /home [21:17] ok... [21:17] buu: ok. it was just a guess. the preferences->display overrides settings after the user logs in. [21:17] apeiron, sure it can, but that is an unusual config for a desktop system :) [21:17] adam_69: did you back up the old menu.lst before you edited it? [21:17] n8tuser: not able to change the current 192.168.1.1 on the linksys sorry tried several options however not where applied [21:17] how do I change what video plugin totem uses? [21:17] cant find the option [21:17] * apeiron took the defaults when installing, was lazy. [21:18] reene: I sure did I have it sitting on my desktop [21:18] apeiron: Something about the interface bugged me. I wanted a filesystem-view and pidgin "Now Playing".... hmm come to think of it the pidgin angle is covered by a musictracker plugin. [21:18] n8tuser: can you do me a big favour please [21:18] con-man it uses the right one for the file [21:18] con-man: set it at gstreamer-properties [21:18] paul687-> hang on, im kind of tied up.. [21:18] I fixed it! [21:18] ikonia: not in my case. I need to change it, like I can in xine [21:18] nao tem brasileiro aki nao porra [21:18] con-man: why ? [21:18] herrmess, ah. [21:19] herrmess, Migrating from OS X here, actually, was searching for an iTunes clone. :) [21:19] buu: how? ;-) [21:19] zsquareplusc: I had my stupid display widget set to the wrong thing from when I was trying random configurations [21:19] adam_69: I think it's a good idea to restore it [21:19] zsquareplusc: So when I fixed it, it was still broken because that was set incorrectly [21:19] adam_69 post your windows config of grub [21:19] apeiron: Exaile looked like a worthy candidate, until I found out it simply cannot "JUST PLAY" a file on click. [21:19] n8tuser: I know [21:19] is 50GB enough for all the programs? I have 50GB for /, 10GB for swap, and the rest is /home [21:19] Which is why it worked under root [21:19] ikonia: cause its playing on my videos with a the brightness turned down, real dark [21:19] .net [21:19] herrmess, no me gusta [21:19] reenen: I can restore it, however it doesnt have the windows xp boot slection on it? [21:19] when i tried to open archive manager it said.. application to handle this file.. filenam.tar.gz [21:19] zsquareplusc: But now it works, yay! [21:19] does this look good? [21:19] http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/11/17/f_blahm_d598bed.png [21:19] n8tuser: Thanks for all of your help. [21:20] apeiron: Did you try Songbird ? It looks like iTunes AFAIK. [21:20] reene: I have a good idea, will vista fit on a 5gd partition? [21:20] apeiron: (although it's still beta quality) === rebel_kid|zZzZ is now known as rebel_kid [21:20] buu you're welcome [21:20] herrmess, Way, way, *way* too heavy. [21:20] herrmess, I don't want another XUL app running. [21:20] hi..is there a way for me to export photos from f-spot to zooomr? [21:20] adam_69 no it wont I think you need at least 10GB for vista [21:20] buu, any ideas? [21:20] is there an ntp server in ubuntu [21:20] how can I fix this error? I get it every time I accidently hit an unknown command: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7ac8ce6b [21:20] or client [21:20] apeiron: Yeah, I can relate to that. Took it forever to index 10k files. [21:21] mewshi: 10GB for swap is too much, how much RAM do you have ? [21:21] herrmess, I do appreciate its format support, though. [21:21] 3GB [21:21] adam_69 whats your grub config for windows look like? [21:21] lindenle: sure, if you install one. there are packages in synaptic [21:21] but I have more disk space than I know what to do with [21:21] i mean, does it looks like a good setup guys [21:21] also [21:21] that's what the DEFAULT gave me the first install ... [21:21] ncash: it doesnt exist its just got ubuntu entries [21:21] zsquareplusc: what is the name of the package [21:21] !who | mewshi [21:21] mewshi: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:21] Biscuit-> comment out line 128 using a # at beginning of line and add line 129 lets say with root (hd3,4) [21:21] apeiron: I'll give Rhythmbox a second chance... will look into plugins. [21:21] con-man: why would that be a codec issue, rather than a player setting ? [21:22] sorry [21:22] paul687-> whats preventing you from configuring the linksys this time? [21:22] joaopinto what do you think: http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/11/17/f_blahm_d598bed.png [21:22] Katmai2007: good [21:22] ikonia: cause when I change it in xine it fixes the problem [21:22] lindenle: there is more than one. try apt-cache search ntp or the similar action in synaptics [21:22] ok [21:22] n8tuser, thanks, I'm on it [21:22] con-man: xine is a differnet player [21:22] Katmai2007: but define mount points for nfts partitions to make them automount [21:22] What would the username and password be on the 8.10 live cd? [21:22] oh [21:22] flounders: there is no password [21:22] fosco_, would that possibly hurt the windows installs on them? [21:23] mewshi: unless you want to hibernate (suspend to disk) 1 GB swap should be all you need, more swap than ram is said to cause trouble [21:23] flounders: it should log you in when you start the cdrom [21:23] Katmai2007: make sure format checkbox is not checked [21:23] flounders: ubunti, empty password? [21:23] ikonia: Yeah it just sits there. [21:23] flounders: ubuntu, empty password? [21:23] so setting mountpoints for them won't hurt them? [21:23] flounders: sits where ? [21:23] n8tuser: don't know but each time I want to change it it doesn't apply the changes that I request not on the 10.0 nor on the 172 range [21:23] zsquareplusc: Tried that. [21:23] katakaio, looks good, you could also setup the mount points for the windows partitions [21:23] when i tried to open archive manager it said.. application to handle this file.. filenam.tar.gz not available... So, what application do i need to install..?? [21:23] Katmai2007: right [21:23] At the GNOME login prompt. [21:23] paste this in the grub.. remove the #'s # title Windows 95/98/NT/2000 [21:23] # root (hd0,0) [21:23] # makeactive [21:23] # chainloader +1 [21:23] ncash: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:23] ops, was for Katmai2007 [21:23] ikonia: xine wont play the new star trek trailer, it defaults to totem [21:23] flounders: what are you trying? remot elog in [21:23] ikonia: cant get it to change [21:23] zsquareplusc: No just normal boot up. [21:23] it won't let me set up mount points for the windows installs [21:23] con-man: look at the brightness settings in totem [21:24] where should I look for more information when Xorg crashes to console? Xorg.0.log and dmesg don't have any information [21:24] ikonia: where is that? [21:24] hey. what is the search path used by LDD? [21:24] Katmai2007, that is odd, I am sure i did it on my last install [21:24] the mount point drop down is greyed out [21:24] Katmai2007, anyway, you can setup those later [21:24] con-man: the settings are in there, [21:24] shredder12 which file type are you trying to access? [21:24] n8tuser, sorry, how do I edit my menu.lst? [21:24] hi [21:24] paul687-> then if you can not change that, you have to change the server side eth1 to 192.168.3.X subnet -- okay? [21:24] flounders: and just "enter"? the live cd should log automatically anyway [21:24] zsquareplusc: Yup tried that too. [21:24] Oh how I love thee, gnome-do. [21:24] maxxist: .tar.gz [21:24] Biscuit-> vi menu.lst === veerle is now known as Veeke [21:24] Katmai2007: sure? :? [21:25] I'm trying to remove all the directories and files from /media/disk but I can't format the drive since it has to stay as ntfs [21:25] shredder12 wow. that should open without adding anything. [21:25] adam_69 put this into your grub remove #'s and replace .. with enter title Windows 95/98/NT/2000..# root (hd0,0)..# makeactive..# chainloader +1 [21:25] fosco_ joaopinto: http://img32.picoodle.com/img/img32/3/11/17/f_Screensho1tm_d3ac440.png [21:25] can anyone tell me why I cant mount a Volume, it says "You are not privileged to mount the Volume" I have install the Ntfs Configuration Tool also, Help me please [21:25] how do I find out the search path used by ldd? [21:25] paul687 / n8tuser you have been creaint a lot of chan traffic for something which is more network related than to ubuntu, maybe move it to #networking :P ? [21:25] flice: it doesn't search [21:25] Katmai2007: use as: do not use, can you see? [21:25] flice: it's lists what is linked [21:25] fabrisco, because you're not root and the volume is not user mountable [21:25] I wouldn't care about booting up into the live cd except when I try going through the installer it seg faults when loading up. [21:25] How can i add a java program to the applications list, so that it starts on 1 click? [21:25] maxxist: no actually i was having some trouble with unzipping so i removed unzip and unrar-free then i reinstalled it..but after the reinstallation archive manager didn't showed up. [21:25] I've tried to use the sudo rm -rf /media/disk/folder and it fails what other command can i use to force remove them [21:25] fosco_: yes [21:25] hi everybody! [21:25] flice, ls /etc/ld.so.conf* [21:25] so change that [21:26] lwizardl: mounted read-only? [21:26] I don't want to reformat my windows drive D: [21:26] joaopinto-> nah, people would learn if they are paying attention..but sometimes these users are greener than green, cant even use editors.. [21:26] so can you tell me how to mount a volume [21:26] lwizardl, it fails with which error message ? [21:26] shredder12 hmm. i dont know what to tell you man. if those are installed it should be fine... [21:26] maxxist: this was what popped out when i selected to open with archive manager.. [21:26] adam_69 after you insert that save and restart.. hit escape as the pc loads and select windows [21:26] zsquareplusc, nope its chmod 777 [21:26] n8tuser I can now scroll through my menu.lst but can't seem to type over it, what's up? [21:26] nvm [21:26] Katmai2007: you do not need to format them [21:26] it seems I have network manager installed (apt says 'latest version'), but I cant find it under the 'add to panel' list. [21:26] joaopinto: ld.so.conf ld.so.conf.d/ [21:26] fabrisco, sudo mount /dev/ / [21:26] Have there been problems with Canonical's cds they send out? [21:26] * Garnol9155 feeling ignored [21:27] joaopinto, Error removing file: Operation not supported [21:27] n8tuser, I don't see why someone on #ubuntu should want to learn about networking, there are appropriate channels for that [21:27] lwizardl: and if you look at the output of mount, there is no "ro"? [21:27] Biscuit-> we are getting complaints..perhaps you can browse for a tutorial on how to use vi ? [21:27] fosco_: so set Use As to ntfs? and Mount Point to /windows ? [21:27] fabrisco, mount what where [21:27] flice: ldd doesn't search it lists the linked librarys [21:27] fabrisco, that is the way to do it [21:27] Katmai2007: usually /media/something [21:27] lwizardl, is the filesystem mounted for read/write ? [21:27] n8tuser: eth1 is now 192.168.3.22 [21:27] ikonia: thanks. but how do I link a library to other libraries? [21:27] How can i add a java program to the applications list, so that it starts on 1 click? [21:27] joaopinto-> i am assisting two folks.. [21:27] in the mount point drop down it only shows /dos and /windows [21:27] flice: you do that at build time [21:27] n8tuser sorry, will do [21:27] I'm installing 8.10 btw [21:27] flice that is the file and directory containing the list of directories to be used by ldd [21:27] flice, actually, by ldconfig [21:27] joaopinto, yeah I can create folders [21:27] any one else got 'NetworkManger' on the panel (not)? [21:27] Garnol9155, Does the program have a shell script to start it? [21:28] ikonia: ldd reports several missing links for libflashplugin.so that I placed into my .mozilla directory [21:28] Hi...does anybody know if there's a way to stream media from an Ubuntu PC to an xbox 360? [21:28] flice: you can't really just move things around [21:28] paul687-> join me in #n8tuser [21:28] any one know which application handles .tar.gz file types.. [21:28] i'm so confused :( [21:28] atarinox, you need a media server [21:28] shredder12 hmm. is gunzip installed? [21:28] flice: if you just install the flashplugin-nonfree package it does it all for you [21:28] shredder12, tar and gzip/gunzip [21:28] shredder12, tar [21:28] joaopinto, yeah I can create files and folders in the drive so I'm sure its mounted for write access [21:28] dang [21:28] 64bit version of Adobe Flash Player is out. It is Alpha right now, but it is working batter then 32bit final version with ndswraper... [21:28] apeiron what does a shell script do? --sry i m new [21:29] ikonia: flashplugin-nonfree is the 32 bit version. Adobe recently released the 64-bit preview, so I'm trying to make that work [21:29] will flash-nonfree-plugin be updated for 64bit Intrelid? [21:29] Milos_SD where can it be had? [21:29] Garnol9155, heh, well, in this case it would run the commands needed to start the Java program. [21:29] argh! [21:29] aperion i have to start the asdfasdf.jar always via console or right click ... [21:29] anyone else? I have the problem of Ubuntu 8.04 not recognizing my screens 1920x1200 resolution [21:29] just upgraded to 8.10, no sound, upgraded alsa, still no sound [21:29] apeiron isnt there a tutorial you could recommand? === bigmack83-AKF is now known as BigMack83 [21:29] Garnol9155, errrr [21:30] anyone have advice on the sound issue [21:30] Garnol9155, I don't know of one, no, heh. [21:30] i just updated to hardy [21:30] tons of conflicting info, imo [21:30] src: well all of them are already installed.. [21:30] and firefox is all f'ed up [21:30] Garnol9155, Basically what you want to do is put the command that you use to execute the program in a file, make it executable, and then add a menu entry pointing to it [21:30] shredder12, i would hope so... [21:30] joaopinto, zsquareplusc, ok my mount options are "rw nosuid nodev user_id=0 groun_id=0 allow_other blksize=4096" [21:30] flice, just download from Adobe labs and copy that .so file to /usr/lib/Firefox/plugins [21:30] how do i get my bookmarks from firefox 2? [21:30] shredder12, try tar zxvf [21:30] ikonia: so what happens is that I do have the needed libraries installed in the system, but their names are slightly different. if I symlink them to what ldd shows as missing, ldd seems satisfied. the problem remains, however, that I don't want to manually symlink stuff into /usr/lib [21:30] Milos_SD: tried that, doesn't work [21:31] and uninstall flash-nonfree from synaptic and ndswraper (or what is the name of it) [21:31] flice, If their names are slightly different, you don't have the required libraries. [21:31] src: well the actual problem is when i try to open archive manager it says that there is no application to open .tar.gz [21:31] flice: you can't just link it to different libraries [21:31] flice, linking may just get you in a segfault [21:31] flice: needs to match the dependecy librarys that flash wants [21:31] flice, Any difference--*any*--in a library name means it's not the same library. [21:31] shredder12, use the console :) [21:31] apeiron: libnss3 vs libnss3-1d [21:31] and why does network-admin have that retarded unlock button now? [21:31] flice, copy it to: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ ; /usr/lib/xuluner-1.9/plugins/ too [21:31] src: ok.. [21:31] flice, Yes. Are they the same? No? [21:31] I did that, and it is working... [21:32] apeiron is it so complex to creat a script telling the pc to run a spezific command (in this case open .jar with java) ? [21:32] every new distro has something new and retarded [21:32] Mr_Bad_News-> it always had it noh? you have to be root to modify system resources [21:32] Milos_SD, he must be using a different distro version [21:32] Mr_Bad_News: do you need support ? [21:32] Garnol9155, Nope. java -jar foo.jar [21:32] Oh hai. I'm having some trouble setting up my bluetooth headset after upgrading to ibex. I found a nice little guide here: http://fosswire.com/2008/10/25/better-bluetooth-audio/ but at the point where I should get a number from entering "pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device="bluetooth"" in the terminal, I only get "Failure: Timeout".. Can somebody help out? [21:32] from mozilla and firefox folders delete that nswraper links for flash too [21:32] it never had the unlock button on it n8tuser [21:32] apeiron: AFAIK, there is binary compatibility between different versions of the same library, so it *may* work, no? [21:32] title Windows 95/98/NT/2000 [21:32] # root (hd0,0) [21:32] # makeactive [21:32] # chainloader +1 [21:32] before you did sudo network-admin and it was fine [21:32] ncash: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[21:37] i have to hit home and it takes me to some firefox google homepage not my homepage [21:37] facefaceface, do you have a support question ? === Sniff is now known as no-ip [21:37] how can i determine which ubuntu i am running and what kernel it is (64/32bit) [21:37] atarinox, also, just try google [21:37] when i go 2 burn image and burn the ubuntu iso it doesnt burn it [21:37] joaopinto, :D [21:37] apeiron shell i create a text document telling: java -jar "path+name".jar [21:37] hkais, uname -m; lsb_release -a [21:37] Garnol9155, Creatae a new file. Put "java -jar program_name_here.jar" in that file, without the quotes. [21:37] shredder12, your file is complete!? try gunzip .tar.gz. It creates a file .tar Then tar xvf .tar [21:37] Biscuit-> paste the menu.lst after you have modified it, so i can confirm what you have done [21:37] I am trying to add NetworkManager to my panel [21:37] joaopinto: works. thanks everyone! [21:37] shredder12, Or just tar xf yourfile.tar.gz [21:37] src, tar xvf supports file.tar.gz,, no need to gunzip first [21:37] GNU tar is smart these days. <3 [21:37] joaopinto: thx! [21:38] am I in the right room for Ubuntu help? [21:38] sorry n8tuser, typo, I have it copied and pasted to my text editor [21:38] and when i hit restart in the addons firefox 3 just crashes [21:38] brodymcd, Nope, this is abuse. [21:38] brodymcd, yes [21:38] brodymcd, (yes, you are) [21:38] joaopinto, I am trying to add NetworkManager to the panel [21:38] who designed this piece of shit [21:38] !language | Mr_Bad_News [21:38] Mr_Bad_News: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:38] Mr_Bad_News, You will get banned talking like tht [21:38] ok how does one tell which version is installed now? mozilla - about:plugins tells me Shockwave Flash 10.0 d20 [21:38] bad new, I got it running for a while now, it hasen't crashed yet. [21:38] Mr_Bad_News, go to the firefox website nd grb 2 [21:38] * apeiron hugs swfdec and gnash. [21:39] just apt-get remove firefox [21:39] joaopinto, hmm never used xvf to extract tgz files. always used zxvf. but it if works, cool. [21:39] then instll ff2 [21:39] where did network manager go ? [21:39] ok n8tuser, I've added my # and i've removed some lines, just need to place my (hd3,4) [21:39] i upgraded and now its gone [21:39] joaopinto, where is netwrrk manager?

I´m really struggling with this Broadcom card.... [21:39] Biscuit-> paste the menu.lst after you have modified it, so i can confirm what you have done [21:39] Mr_Bad_News, yeh [21:39] I'm writing a BASH script and I need to test if certain commands exist. $d is the name of the command to be tested. [21:39] src, GNU tar has been able to directly extract .tar.gz files for *years* now, and recently (since the last time I used it anyway) it's become smart enough to tell if it's a .tar.gz without being told. [21:39] I have: if [ ! command -v $1 ] [21:39] but this doesn't work [21:39] Mr_Bad_News, solidrity mn! [21:39] well guys the problem is that i removed unzip and unrar-free and then installed them again.. and after that i found that my archive manaager was not working.. so is there a way to get back the archive manager.. [21:39] what? [21:39] apeiron i created such a file, how do i have to call this text file now? [21:39] ruperdupe: join #bash [21:40] shredder12, define not working? [21:40] ruperdupe, join #bash [21:40] Mr_Bad_News, my a button is broke [21:40] Garnol9155, Right-click Applications at the top, select Edit Menus [21:40] sorry didn't realise it had a channel [21:40] Hi. I'm experiencing some PowerPC bugs that seem to be related. I'd like to help solve them but I'm not too sure how I should proceed. Bugs #298156, #292092 and #281146 are gnometris, liferea and yelp crashing with SIGSEGV 'in signal_emit_unlocked_R() at at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.18.2/gobject/gsignal.c'. They all seem to occur on the ppc architecture. Are these likely to be the same bug? [21:40] If I wnt n I gott type Ctrl-V [21:40] ruperdupe: which and test -e are your friends [21:40] apeiron, hmm need to inform the guys from Sun too... [21:40] src, *GNU* tar, not necessarily Sun's tar. [21:40] aypee1, try asking on #ubuntu-bugs [21:40] amazing how many a's there are! [21:40] n8tuser http://paste.ubuntu.com/73498/ [21:40] apeiron, no kidding... [21:40] facefaceface : i mean when i opened a file with archive manager it said that there is no application installed to open .tar.gz [21:40] joaopinto, I'm going to sue you [21:40] Anyone know of a program or applet where i can paste text into it and have festival or some TTS read it back to me? [21:40] * apeiron doesn't know anything about Sun's tar [21:40] hey guys please help. Is there a way to install 32 bit libraries on 64 bit system without copy the right files manually?THANKS [21:41] joaopinto: I did. I got ignored. [21:41] is there a better version of firefox out yet? [21:41] its like every version gets worse and worse [21:41] speps: it depends on the libraries [21:41] aypee1, will not improve here ;) [21:41] speps→ yes! install the ia32libs libraries [21:41] hmm [21:41] Mr_Bad_News, I had no issues with ff3 [21:41] shredder12, I'd try 'apt-get remove archive manager' then add it back and install the recomended [21:41] speps→ the package is called ia32libs, install with synaptic or similar [21:41] Mr_Bad_News, try 2 [21:41] * facefaceface sues [21:41] well im having as s load joakim [21:41] * facefaceface sues you all [21:42] joaopinto: I guess I'll try the forums. Grr... [21:42] it's ia32-libs [21:42] * facefaceface sues freenode [21:42] Biscuit-> where did you add? i dont see it [21:42] magnetron: ia32libs contains just the common libraries not all. ikonia: i can do it manually i wanna know if there's some app that can do it manually. [21:42] Hi. i know my wireless hardware is supported, it was working with hardy... ever since upgrading, I cant connect to any wireless network except the one I was connected to during the upgrade. I noticed that this network ins hard configured in /etc/network/interfaces ... I know its not supposed to be there... that Network Manager is supposed to take care of this information ... but if I take it out, I don't get any wi-fi connectivity , and [21:42] also weird things start happening in network manager, So I put everything back to the way it was immediately after upgrading to intrepid... I Know its a configuration issue as I have done a fresh install on a seprate hard drove on the same computer and have no problems with the wireless... I'd like to FIX this rather than reinstalling all my apps and reconfiguring everything ... any ideas ? [21:42] joaopinto: yep, flash works now :) [21:42] i am running ubnutu 8.04 and i want to install "apt-get install libc6-dev-amd6" but my ubuntu cannot find the package?!? [21:42] ins = is [21:42] flice, ;) [21:42] hkais: -amd6? [21:42] n8tuser I have added # to line 133 [21:42] 8.04 [21:43] hkais, there is no such package on ubuntu [21:43] sorry apt-get install libc6-dev-amd64 [21:43] what else do you need to know? [21:43] * facefaceface goes somewhere quieter [21:43] hkais: and you are on 64bits? done put the -amd64 suffix there then [21:43] jaopinto: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libc6&searchon=names&suite=hardy§ion=all [21:43] OK, I've got an idea - one problem at a time people [21:43] OK, me first... [21:43] * juro bangs his head onto the desk due to extreme frustration! [21:43] hkais, ok, hardy :P [21:44] hkais, do you have a 64 bits system ? [21:44] it seems I have network manager installed (apt says 'latest version'), but I cant find it under the 'add to panel' list. [21:44] aperion ah ok now it works, i just copied the command into the field [21:44] is it possible to install ubuntu on a laptop computer? [21:44] * zsquareplusc hands juro a bag of ice for his head [21:44] pder: yes [21:44] pder, yes [21:44] pder, yes [21:44] aperion thank you ;-) [21:44] I WIN [21:44] Biscuit-> you're not paying atttention i said line 127 to comment and add a line..you have not done it yet [21:44] is it possible to get NM on my pannel? [21:44] apeiron now it works, thank you [21:44] Could someone do me a favour and remind me, I can't remember the full name of the wireless software I used in previous installs. Is it "Madwifi"? [21:44] panel even? [21:44] joaopinto: yes it is a 64 bit (I hope so) [21:44] Garnol9155, Awesome! [21:44] n8tuser, sorry, I will go back and do it right [21:44] my wireless hardware can 'see' the other wireless networks ... I have xirrus wi-fi monitor installed and I can see other accesspoints ... I just cant connect to them [21:45] Biscuit a single line with root (hd3,4) [21:45] zsquareplusc, thanx - doesn't work though ... as long as it takes hours to get a standard, two year old monitor to work properly, Ubuntu will never become an alternative [21:45] can i use uid instead of /dev/sda1 to identify to hardrive to mount to a certain mountpoint in fstab [21:45] Chary, apt-cache search wifi [21:45] ? [21:45] joaopinto: uname -m repoorts a x86_64 [21:45] hkais, ok [21:45] Whitor, got encryption? [21:45] joaopinto: and lsb_release -a hardy [21:45] Whitor, wireless b/g issue? [21:45] Anyone use festival or any Text to speech? [21:45] PixelBlur, once or twice [21:45] facefaceface, no I took off encryption to test [21:45] apeiron maybe you can tell me, why ubuntu 8.10 uses compiz desktop effects but doesnt allow the configure compiz itself [21:46] what network manager is hardy using? [21:46] what happend to nm-applet? [21:46] * apeiron shrugs [21:46] hkais, oh, the package is only available for 32 bits systems [21:46] Garnol9155, I don't have the hardware to run compiz, so I know nothing about it [21:46] Whitor, does your hardware support b/g? [21:46] facefaceface, Thanks pal. [21:46] or did you set it to g only? [21:46] i cannot acces network-admin [21:46] Chary, thats why they pay me [21:46] juro: well some gfx card and monitors are difficult to set up, but most work fine. when you run the liveCD is it giving you a bad resolution or flickering? [21:46] facefaceface: i'm trying to find a applet or simple app for the desktop where i can paste text for reading. [21:46] that f'ing unlock button is making it so i cant do anything [21:46] facefaceface, yes, and its G in both locations [21:46] even when i use sudo [21:46] apeiron oh ok.. btw what music player do you recommand ? [21:47] PixelBlur, not that I know of [21:47] Garnol9155, Rhythmbox for most of the time. totem for playing xspf playlists. [21:47] hm, I kinda like the new DarkRoom theme in Ubuntu, but there is one thing annoying me; If I set the colours to something brighter (as in bright gray), I need to set the text t a dark colour, preferably black. But the DarkRoom theme has a black shadow on the Title bar, so the text gets really blurry. Should I be able to remove that shadow if I want to? [21:47] Shouldn't* [21:47] facefaceface: k, thanks. [21:47] zsquareplusc, I don't have the liveCD but I have 8.04 installed [21:47] apeiron i heard somebody praising amarokh [21:47] Garnol9155, You typically won't run into xspf playlists unless you specifically go looking for them though so that shouldn't be an issue. [21:47] hello. my /var/log/acpid file seems to be missing. do i need to enable it somehow? or is there another way to see acpi events? [21:47] facefaceface: there is no package by the name of archive manager. [21:47] Whitor, ... have you tried turning it off and back on agin? [21:47] hey guys please help. Is there a way to install 32 bit libraries on 64 bit system without copy the right files manually?THANKS [21:48] shredder12, hmm [21:48] Garnol9155, amarok is a KDE program. Not installed by default in Ubuntu but available. [21:48] is a uuid like a serial number for the drive....will it always be the same no matter what computer it is in? [21:48] facefaceface, yes many times... [21:48] I broke a windows install and need to rename a sys file, can anyone tell me does ubuntu live cd come with ntfs-3g read AND write support to enable me to do this? [21:48] Whitor, I don't know what to suggest ... sorry === andre is now known as Guest50640 [21:48] gratz|home, it does [21:48] juro: ok. and you have just the wrong resolution or doesnt it work at all? [21:48] facefaceface, tried restarting networking /etc/init.d/networking restart ... and bringing the if down and up agan too [21:48] shredder12, is it 'file-roller'? [21:48] apeiron should i prefer gnome based programs or isnt there any difference between this programs? [21:49] ok facefaceface thank you anyway [21:49] joaopinto: thx what was the needed hint! [21:49] Garnol9155, GNOME-based programs integrate better with one another, as KDE-based programs integrate better with one another. [21:49] facefaceface: let me check. [21:49] zsquareplusc, it works, but I only have 16yy X 1024 available, as opposed to 1920x1200 .... [21:49] Whitor, did you try to use ifconfig to manually set the channel etc? [21:49] Hmm I can't seem to detect my wireless network via the standard hardware drivers (Ubuntu picked up my card, apparently). Yet I can on an older install using Madwifi. Guessing this means the drivers that come with the newer Ubuntu are FUBAR? [21:49] im about to go f'ing insane [21:49] Is there anyway to completely reset network configurations ? [21:49] hello [21:49] hkais, http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libc6-dev-amd64, on the architecture section of the page, there is only an i386 file ;) [21:49] how do i get rid of the unlock button on network-admin [21:49] Garnol9155, If you want an experience like a Mac or Windows where everything feels 'integrated', stick with one set of tools. [21:49] joaopinto, anything required to get it working? Just now when trying to mount the drive i encountered some errors [21:49] Mr_Bad_News: you can't [21:49] juro: you may need to manually add modelines to xorg.conf [21:49] n8tuser http://paste.ubuntu.com/73502/ - lets see if I've got it right now [21:49] i cant use network admin at all [21:49] Mr_Bad_News: it's patche into gnome [21:50] gratz|home, check the errors :) [21:50] Mr_Bad_News: just click "unlock" you can use it === unnamed is now known as i100 [21:50] but i was able to read with an old version of knoppix [21:50] I CANT [21:50] apeiron oh ok. [21:50] Mr_Bad_News: why [21:50] Mr_Bad_News: what is stopping you clicking it [21:50] i tired what was suggested in the errors but still failed to mount [21:50] how the hell should i know it wont let me click it [21:50] Whitor, I think you need to blank the right files [21:50] apeiron do you know any script that runs windows applications? And i do NOT mean wine ^^ [21:50] facefaceface: by the way how do i determine that it is file-roller [21:50] zsquareplusc, I did that and switched to 1920x1200 but then it just extended the screen over the 16yy x 1024 and I had to scroll around [21:50] gratz|home, pastebin the error please [21:50] i've got two webcams on my hp dv6000-one builtin, one external. I want to disable the builtin cam because skype2 recognizes only it and no external. How do i do it? [21:50] facefaceface, I've only used network manager to set connection information [21:50] is there a way to import/transfer the customized appearance settings of one user to a livecd so those cutom appearances will be there when booting from the cd? [21:50] i cant install flash player in 64 bits linux ubunut [21:50] Mr_Bad_News, go to a quieter chn - its better for sanity [21:50] ubuntu [21:50] shredder12, don't know! [21:50] Garnol9155, VirtualBox perhaps? [21:50] What was the command to see what shared librarys some program depends on? [21:50] Garnol9155, That'll let you run Windows in a.. window. :) [21:51] Mr_Bad_News: is it greyed out, or available but you can't click it [21:51] Whitor, its screwed up for me on occasion too [21:51] janbanan, ldd binary === Guest50640 is now known as saykou [21:51] Biscuit a single line with root (hd3,4) <-- look carefully and what you typed in [21:51] greyed out [21:51] i cant install flash player in 64 bits linux ubunut [21:51] facefaceface: i m not taking the risk of removing and installin it.. [21:51] ikonia* [21:51] i cant install flash player in 64 bits linux ubuntu [21:51] but the information abut the network I was connected to at the time of my upgrade from Hardy to interpid was 'written' to the /etc/netorking/interfaces file [21:51] cause this is what gave me the problems.. [21:51] hi all. 'apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade' left me with a broken system somewhere halfway 8.04-8.10 , any hints on how to clean up ? [21:51] apeiron is that a real "script" ? [21:51] with tar.. [21:51] 2seconds, booting back into it [21:51] shredder12, you got file-roller installed? [21:51] Garnol9155 : Unless you intend to play windows games, Sun's VirtualBox is simply awesome. [21:51] H__, pastebin your error [21:51] try (on the cli) file-roller 'the tar.gz' [21:51] juro: hm. it does that when the screen size is not altered but only the window size. did you try crtr+alt+KPPLUS and KPMINUS? that should change the screen size (if there are multiple in xorg.conf) [21:51] Garnol9155, heh, no. [21:51] !virtualization | Garnol9155 [21:51] Garnol9155: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [21:51] and I don't think its supposed to be hard coded there [21:52] joaopinto ok [21:52] Xen doesnt work w/ ubuntu!?

[21:56] and when i type i keep hearing my speaker [21:56] -ook [21:56] yes [21:56] im not in gnome either [21:56] im in awesome [21:56] Mr_Bad_News: sorry since you installed it [21:56] Mr_Bad_News: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === zaggster is now known as zaggy-nl [21:56] hallo everybody [21:56] Mr_Bad_News: ahhh that could be the problem [21:56] Mr_Bad_News: using that gnome application not in gnome [21:56] Mr_Bad_News: you've not got the gnome auth system running [21:56] zsquareplusc, let's see you long this will run - thanx [21:56] juro: it uses the 1st resolution in the list. ctrl+alt++/- is just iterating through that list [21:56] anyone can solve my problem with hotmail? [21:56] joaopinto: it was always a mystery to me, what different naming of .so files means. for example, what is the meaning of "1d" in libnss3.so.1d? [21:56] Mr_Bad_News: I've seen that with kde, the same should be true of gnome [21:57] ik-ook, prolly not [21:57] I cannot write a new mail [21:57] Biscuit cat /mnt/boot/grub/device.map and put n pastebin [21:57] on it [21:57] HEY OH MAN i cant start the trendmicro housecall virus scanner!!! [21:57] why do i keep hearing my keystrokes in my speakers? [21:57] my FF always crashes!!!! [21:57] ik-ook: get a better provider or a user agent switcher ;-) [21:57] not sure, i use my hotmail to login to msn thats all [21:57] flice, that's just a version id [21:57] i need a virs scanner tho! [21:57] If I am using partimage to backup my install, do I just have to backup my ext3 partition, or do I have to backup my extended which contains the swap? [21:57] for mozilla [21:57] in ubutu [21:57] ubuntu [21:57] ik-ook, restart [21:57] mib_ygbv1i: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:57] Mr_Bad_News: have you tried using it in gnome [21:57] joshritger, swap is temporary data, nothing that you care about [21:57] mib_ygbv1i, join the club _( [21:57] apeiron i will just follow the ubuntu help page about KVM [21:57] joaopinto: there are a lot of files that end with .so.1. it can't be that their version never changes [21:57] facefaceface: ??? [21:58] mib_ygbv1i, ff3 right? in Gnome? [21:58] Garnol9155, Okie, g'luck. I've never used it myself so I dunno what it can do. [21:58] ok...i want to learn to program in Linux, and the only language I have used is C. Is there a good book that will teach me to program in Linux, using C as the language? [21:58] zsquareplusc, I doubt that - there is no last resolution: http://pastebin.com/d5bd67043 [21:58] facefaceface: yeaaah SHIT help me [21:58] no ikonia [21:58] i have a virus!! [21:58] smee2, yeah [21:58] smee2: search amazon [21:58] i dont use gnome much anymore [21:58] mib_ygbv1i, wish I could [21:58] joaopinto: when I go to restore the image, do I need to do a fresh install first? [21:58] flice, there are rules for .so naming, as long they keep binary compatible, they don't need to change the version [21:58] Mr_Bad_News: be interested in trying it just to see if the auth framework is the key [21:58] facefaceface: yes it has started working.. [21:58] http://img91.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sdfdou1.png [21:58] what is this facefaceface ?? [21:58] i searched amazon, but I can't decide on a book [21:58] mib_ygbv1i, best you can do is go to 2 :( [21:58] from when the new version of hotmail started i cannot use the mail anymore [21:58] facefaceface: and i used apt-get -s to simulate what i am doing.. [21:58] ? =/ [21:58] shredder12, coool [21:58] joaopinto: so it's API version?

[21:58] joshritger, no, if you just have 1 partition, you will just need to boot from a live cd, and restore that partition [21:58] smee2: read the reviews, - this is a question that is nothing to do with ubuntu [21:58] smee2: try local library its a good way of trying out books [21:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6199345#post6199345 [21:59] mib_ygbv1i, its a problem with ff3 and gnome... [21:59] flice, ABI, API is for the source code, ABI is for the binaries ;) [21:59] its in centos as well as ubuntu... [21:59] oh noe! you know it facefaceface ? [21:59] mib_ygbv1i, ?

[21:59] on the housecall site [21:59] from the install cd, in rescue mode, is there a way to re-install the /usr/lib directory? [22:00] of trendmicro online scan [22:00] joshritger, it backs up the meny, not the MBR, for that you will need to use some mbr backup tool [22:00] mib_ygbv1i, use else [22:00] ops, the menu [22:00] heck, use ie [22:00] mib_ygbv1i: use Linux you don't need a virus scanner with that [22:00] facefaceface: which one? =[ theres none [22:00] Biscuit looks good, you can cd; umount /mnt; then reboot and select your ubuntu install i hope [22:00] you can get ie under wine [22:00] zleap: yes i have a virus!! [22:00] facefaceface: nope [22:00] hi, is there a solution for those who enabled autologin and dont want to type in password for network manager to connect to wifi [22:00] ie?

[22:01] hey flice i have a virus on windows but im in linux now to fix it [22:01] but there is no scanner [22:01] joaopinto ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/73511/ ) to me it seems that the implied upgrade of kde3 to kde4 is causing havoc to the 8.04 to 8.10 dist-upgrade. I think I should remove all kde3, and those that depend on it. Does this make sense ? (and how to do this) [22:01] mib_ygbv1i: oh, that's a relief :) [22:01] trendmicro housecall should work but it crashes my FF3 [22:01] I though linux was just a collection of viruses? [22:01] i read on dell website, dell comes with ubuntu netbook remix, can that install in asus eee pc as well? [22:01] http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ here [22:01] there may be a live cd with anti virus on it, for fixing windows pc's with viruses [22:01] it seems I have network manager installed (apt says 'latest version'), but I cant find it under the 'add to panel' list.

[22:02] I need to recompile my kernel and I need to know kind of hard drive I have. How would I find that out? [22:02] kelvin911: you have to install it from usb [22:02] mib_ygbv1i: you can make a new install of Windows inside VirtualBox and grant it access to the files on your real windows partition [22:02] hmm [22:02] ok [22:02] hmmmm [22:02] interesting flice [22:02] saying myst be valid path or block list [22:02] mib_ygbv1i: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:05] mib_ygbv1i: AVG has a linux version [22:05] joaopinto: looks like the core of my (solved) problem was the fact that there was no pre-existing symlink from libnss.so to libnss.so.1d. looks like this is a common practice [22:05] Katmai2007, 4 GB of swap is quite high for normal "home" usage. else, it should work. [22:05] H__, the problem right now is to force the broken package removal, I don't remember the syntax right now :\ [22:05] shadowwulf: you mean you can log in but then a black screen appears..??

[22:06] joaopinto ok, i'll search in that direction then. thanks for the help [22:06] At least, that's what 3 people here told me [22:06] flice, I am not sure those links are mandatory... [22:06] Hellp [22:06] shredder12, i think its a nvidia issue .. but i forgot how to fix it [22:06] Hello [22:06] Katmai2007, not necessarily. I have servers with 16Gb of RAM and 2 GB of swap [22:06] shadowwulf: have you tried to move to text mode use alt-ctrl-f1 [22:06] What type of linux are you using [22:06] src: So I should shrink the swap down to 2 GB? [22:07] shadowwulf: well had this happened with you earlier. [22:07] Sicor: do you have a support request ? [22:07] Sicor: ubuntu of course [22:07] type init 5 [22:07] Ubuntu 8.10 [22:07] Sicor: or a problem that needs fixing [22:07] WelcomeToMyHome: why ? [22:07] shredder12, i am there no [22:07] Katmai2007, it's up to you. it's more about wasted space than "good or bad" [22:07] What type, I use 8.10 [22:07] src: If he wants to be able to hybernate he should have at least the same size swap as RAM [22:07] shredder12, now [22:07] to start graphical mode [22:07] how do i launch a program such that it isn't tied to the command line? i.e. if i close my terminal, the program doesnt close? [22:07] WelcomeToMyHome: no you don't [22:07] or startx [22:07] joaopinto: it is only logical for them to be mandatory, otherwise you can't install anything outside of packaging system [22:07] WelcomeToMyHome: ubuntu uses run level 2 [22:07] shredder12, this started when i upgraded === elpargo__ is now known as elpargo [22:07] Does anyone know how to prevent input or switching to a specific virtual terminal without disabling it completely? [22:07] kansan: program & disown [22:07] for graphical mode? [22:07] WelcomeToMyHome: yes [22:07] kansan, screen or dtach [22:07] in red hat is 5 [22:08] src: someone was also saying I should set mount points for the windows installs. is that really necessary? [22:08] WelcomeToMyHome: your not using redhat [22:08] apeiron, are those 3rd party launchers [22:08] well, ubuntu is debian based [22:08] WelcomeToMyHome: so ? [22:08] Katmai2007, only if you want to access those, which you probably will [22:08] shadowwulf: ya upgrade it screwed my system too..i was also having some nvidia issues when i had to format and reinstall hardy [22:08] kansan, dtach is what Jordan_U said in one command. screen is a terminal multiplexer. [22:08] i didnt know it [22:08] WelcomeToMyHome: debian isn't redhat [22:08] src: I do want to access them [22:08] i thounght was the same [22:08] src: will setting mountpoints on them hurt any data on the drives? [22:08] shredder12, ok, is there maybe a way to get the video to work ? [22:08] shadowwulf: may be you should try posting it on some forums..they could help you in a better way... [22:08] Katmai2007, however you can always remove mount and umount stuff after you install. so don't worry about it [22:08] WelcomeToMyHome: nah, ubuntu uses 1 and 2 only [22:08] Katmai2007, no [22:08] hummm [22:08] ok [22:08] i think it can be [22:09] shredder12, havent found much ... i know i fixed this once here [22:09] WelcomeToMyHome: it can be what ? [22:09] joaopinto: do you frequent here, or just one-timer like myself? [22:09] src: for both of them should I set the mountpoint to /windows ? [22:09] shadowwulf: you can't even login why do you want to run a video.. [22:09] but level 1 is only for INIT process [22:09] http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7729978.stm [22:09] WelcomeToMyHome: no, level 1 is single user [22:09] Katmai2007, you have 2 partitions, you need 2 mount points [22:09] shredder12, i can login ... i am at a desktop ... but its blank [22:09] hi. is there a way to stop a window flashing. I'm using skype chat [22:09] level 2 is multiuser and graphical mode??? [22:09] WelcomeToMyHome: correct [22:09] src: ok. I'll set them both to ntfs and /windows [22:10] shadowwulf: well i think you should try to go to text mode and try restarting gdb [22:10] hummm, is diferent in red hat ... [22:10] WelcomeToMyHome: Not quite, upstart, which Ubuntu uses, does not really have the concept of runlevels [22:10] Katmai2007, no. you set sdb1 to /windows1 and sdc1 to /windows2 [22:10] WelcomeToMyHome: yes, we've already established that [22:10] shredder12, whats the command for it [22:10] src: /windows is the only option there [22:10] shadowsulf: sudo /etc/init.d/gdb restart [22:10] apeiron, what is difference between dtach and disown [22:10] ok, i have to learn a bit more about this :D [22:10] Katmai2007, well then, i suggest you do it afterwards [22:11] WelcomeToMyHome: I wouldn't say that runlevel 2 is the full graphical environment as much as there is no level 2 [22:11] ok [22:11] shadowsulf: then switch back to graphical mode by pressing alt-ctrl-f5 or f7 try both of them i m not sure.. [22:11] kansan, dtach AFAIK is background launching and disown in one command. [22:11] kansan: With dtach you can re-attach later, with disown you can't [22:11] [22:11] what is the command to reinstall kubuntu-desktop? [22:11] shredder12, ok, whats the command line to restart gdb === robertcarpenter is now known as robacarp_0 [22:11] no levels? sorry i dont understand [22:12] WelcomeToMyHome: there are runlevels [22:12] joaopinto well, i'm having fun with this now : dpkg -l | grep kde | grep 3.5. | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs dpkg -r [22:12] shadowwulf: sudo /etc/init.d/gdb restart [22:12] hey can anyone help me out i have ubuntu 8.04 i believe on a inspiron 8100 laptop. suspend works on idle, but breaks video on lid closed suspend..?

[22:14] eeks such foul language [22:14] flice, I am frequent here ;) [22:14] Spiffy: it's default on ubuntu because it the most common channel ubuntu users will need [22:14] Biscuit-> how did it go? [22:14] k0d3r: this is ubuntu.. [22:15] my icons all show up as the same thing and in the kde version/gnome version the knetworkmanager stops running after i establish a connection to a network [22:15] No one needs to go here ... [22:15] sorry [22:15] shredder12, same result ... maybe its the video driver ? [22:15] so i cant change what network i connect to or disconnect the wireless [22:15] Spiffy: then leave [22:15] i thought .... [22:15] joaopinto: may I ask, why? [22:15] i cannot find help in other places [22:15] chamunks: Try booting without usplash and it may show correctly, for some reason with some hardware usplash corrupts video for ttys [22:15] danub: sounds strange, i dont have that problem [22:15] lol i didn't either till ubuntu-desktop [22:15] chamunks: You can also try sshing in from another machine [22:15] shadowwulf: so you are not even able to access the text mode?? [22:15] k0d3r: dsl is debian based. and if you want to change the live cd, search for "remaster". it has to do with unpack/chroot/repack [22:16] ikonia: Yes, I will. Now, eat ass. [22:16] shadowwulf: same black screen agin?? [22:16] hi koder [22:16] shredder12, got text mode ... restarted and got the same result [22:16] ok thx [22:16] flice, to learn/help [22:16] Just one question, Is there some way to get root account avalaible in ubuntu... [22:16] shadowwulf: ok ..then it looks a bit complicated.. newaz.. are you able to access your stuff ...?? [22:16] Jordan_U, ahh sshing might work ... see i was in the middle of upgrading my dist and a program locked up the whole computer but its still installing just verry slowly [22:17] I cant get google earth working in Ibex, anyone know of a fix? It keep saying it can't detect my graphics card, it worked fine in 8.04 [22:17] shredder12, text yes ... graphical no [22:17] so what is the command to reinstall kubuntu-desktop [22:17] WelcomeToMyHome, root is available via sudo. [22:17] i know [22:17] add [22:17] heh. Is there an actual purpose for Google Earth besides 'gee whiz'? [22:17] shadowwulf: ya it could be the video driver.. newaz.. were you provided with any drivers cd from the manufacturer.. [22:17] hy, when i start my pc with ubuntu installed, i get the startup logo of the os, and then it locks up...i tried to change xorg settings...any idea how can i change the resolution/refresh rate? [22:17] i cant use apt-get install kubuntu-desktop becaused the packages are already here obviously [22:17] but i cannot do : su root ... [22:17] Hey. [22:17] does anyone know hoe to fix laptop suspend problems? [22:18] WelcomeToMyHome: ubuntu uses sudo [22:18] any idea why my pc randomly freezes going into X? i can boot off the cd 100% of the time, but locally it freezes the computer completely... i'm running ubuntu 8.04, on an intel gfx card, but using a default/basic xorg config (with NO modifications) [22:18] shredder12, nope, i think the last time i download a newer set of them [22:18] WelcomeToMyHome: root is disabled by default [22:18] WelcomeToMyHome, set the root password [22:18] shredder12, BY APT-GET [22:18] Something's wrong with my mouse. It's set to be fast but it's reall really slow. Help? : [22:18] "S [22:18] :s [22:18] hummm, my root password is set when i install... [22:18] WelcomeToMyHome: no it's not [22:18] then may be you should do the same this time too.. in text mode..if you remember their names.. [22:18] WelcomeToMyHome, no [22:18] danub: use apt-cache depends kubuntu-desktop and reinstall everypackage of that with apt-get install --reinstall packagename ? [22:18] WelcomeToMyHome: ubuntu locks the root account [22:18] WelcomeToMyHome, That's the user you're supposed to use to sudo to root. [22:18] WelcomeToMyHome, It tells you this. [22:18] joaopinto: you sound like one that has gone a long way of learning already :) is the signal-to-noise ratio still high enough to prefer this way of learning? [22:18] WelcomeToMyHome: I suggest you read the docs on ubuntu.com [22:18] WelcomeToMyHome, no it's not. try this sudo passwd root . then su - [22:19] src: thats not recommended [22:19] chamunks: If it's slow because you are running out of memory then linux will eventually kill the process using the most RAM, but that won't happen until you run out of swap space [22:19] Biscuit-> how did it go? [22:19] ikonia, why not!? [22:19] joaopinto just FYI, my blunt "dpkg -l | grep kde | grep 3.5. | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs dpkg -r" and subsequent "apt-get -f install -f" at least allows "apt-get dist-upgrade" to continue (it's still running) [22:19] i guess NOPASSWD in sudoers is not recommended either [22:19] src: ubuntu puts a fair bit of effort into the security policy, so setting the root password sort of bypasses that [22:19] WelcomeToMyHome: Just type sudo bash then it will ask you for your password. enter it and for that session you won't need to type sudo, you do everything as root :) [22:19] ok, thaks for the info, i will search and test it a bit, [22:19] Jordan_U, thats probably not happening i have like a 3 gig swap lol :'( [22:19] LF|Irssi: i'm no help. i can just say that earth worked here before and after the upgrade (just checked). but i didnt reinstall it. [22:19] mgolisch: wouldnt it just be easier to swap to gnome version and then do apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-desktop;apt-get install kubuntu-desktop? [22:19] src: if your sharp enough to know to set it, I think it's reasonable to set it [22:19] Does anyone know how to prevent input or switching to a specific virtual terminal without disabling it completely? [22:20] Something's wrong with my mouse. It's set to be fast but it's reall really slow. Help? :s [22:20] i have another question, does automatic partition in install have a habit of making too small of a swap partition? [22:20] sonink, you could some how not have the login program run on that console. [22:20] n8tuser, I've been going back thorugh everything you said but simply cannot fathom why I'm failing with the cd; umount /mnt; - it says not in the fstab (and you are not root) [22:20] danub: that wont do anything as kubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage, it wont uninstall or reinstall any of its dependecies [22:20] Biscuit-> in the liveCD ? [22:20] dangit [22:20] ok zsquareplusc it's probably my nvidia, it has been acting bad since the upgrade to 8.10 :/ [22:20] ikonia, actually i can see why you want your root to be set and enable securetty on some console. if your sudoers gets corrupted, you'd have a problem recovering without booting on the cd or network [22:21] the99zChris: i don't think that is small.. its probably the adequate amount.. [22:21] the99zChris: how small is too small? i almost never use my partition, like 99.9% of the time [22:21] ok [22:21] n8tuser, yes [22:21] hardway it is then [22:21] dr_willis, I have a terminal automatically logging in, but I don't want anyone to be able to switch to it / use it [22:21] src: not at all [22:21] src: boot into single user [22:21] Biscuit-> thats okay, you can just type sync; sync; and reboot [22:21] n8tuser I have not rebooted yet as I haven't managed to get it to accept your instruction [22:21] or that. bottom line is you'd have to reboot [22:21] sonink, then whats the point of it? === robacarp_0 is now known as robacarp1 [22:21] src: thats not a problem [22:21] which in a production environment is unacceptable [22:21] n8tuser ok I'm on it [22:21] the99zChri9z: what's the size of swap you have been alloted?? hardly any portion of swap is used.. [22:21] well, my video players close when playing a big m,ovie and i go fullscreen during play. [22:21] why is ld-linux.so.2 hogging about 56 percent of my cpu time? [22:22] src: if your using it in a production environment I think you'd know how to run a box, therefore set a root password [22:22] LF|Irssi: nvidia here too. but i have no problems (except that the 1st monitor is the wrong one when i plug in 2) [22:22] :) [22:22] src: if you need to be told how to set the password, I think you don't need it [22:22] the99zChris: pastebin.com your results from free -m [22:22] the99Chris: no i don't think so.. [22:22] if he breaks it, he'll learn a lot of new interesting things [22:22] i have 512 mb ram btw [22:22] i always learn by breaking stuff [22:22] hi all [22:22] dr_willis: it runs a script that boots a virtual machine, but a user can switch to the terminal and Ctrl+C to kill it and have access via that account. I saw somewhere that one can prevent switching completely but I want another terminal open for admin access while the VM is running [22:23] src: Or he'll be filling up my inbox with spam [22:23] sucks to be you :D [22:23] anyone knows why doesnt work the direction keys on vmware? using vmware 2 and ubuntu 8.10 [22:23] src: gentoo will teach you that real quick, lol [22:23] src: You don't get spam? [22:23] how do i pastebin? [22:23] !paste > the99zChris [22:23] the99zChris, please see my private message [22:23] ld-linux.0 sucking cpu? why? [22:23] the99zChris: www.pastebin.com [22:23] the99zChris: well what's the size of your swap?? [22:23] I'd like to create a common share folder with samba ... I'm thinking to edit the samba config files ... is it a right policy with ubuntu ? [22:23] Jordan_U, Ohhh man i cant believe that ssh'ing into the box worked! [22:23] is there a way to do a non-destructive re-installation of ubuntu? [22:23] shredder12: i asked for his free -m results; that should tell us everything [22:24] Jordan_U, i have no idea how to kill a process tho. [22:24] KlrSpz, gentoo is a whole different kind of beast [22:24] chamunks, kill [22:24] chamunks, Some things in Unix are *too* obvious. :) [22:24] KlrSpz: ok [22:24] robacarp1: define non-destructive [22:24] src: heh, yeah.. used that for about 9 years, now messing with ubuntu is a lot easier if something breaks [22:24] apeiron, yeah lol, Now how in the command line do i find out which task is locking up the system? [22:24] chamunks: top [22:25] chamunks: The desktop side of Linux is much less stable than the *NIX heart, ssh will almost never fail you ( unless you loose your network connection of course ) [22:25] chamunks: i also suggest installing htop [22:25] got it, http://paste.ubuntu.com/73524/ [22:25] from free -m [22:25] chamunks: top ? [22:25] aLeSD: I'd like my system to be working again, but I don't want to reconfigure samba et al [22:25] chamunks: Do you know what process needs to be killed? [22:25] n8tuser I hate to say it but despite your hard work, I've rebooted and am just back to busybox [22:25] KlrSpz, i havnt the luxury of installation at the moment [22:25] aLeSD: I'd like to not have to re-add all the users to the machine, too [22:26] robacarp1: it's a good choise to understand what you need in /etc folder [22:26] the99zChris: well, you hardly have ANY ram (looks to be only 512mb), and have 1.5gb for swap; i'd say your swap is overkill for 1, and for 2, you need more ram if you're running compiz or something [22:26] Jordan_U, i suspect that its amsn i accidentally loaded it and it pooped. [22:26] any idea why my pc randomly freezes going into X? i can boot off the cd 100% of the time, but locally it freezes the computer completely... i'm running ubuntu 8.04, on an intel gfx card, but using a default/basic xorg config (with NO modifications) [22:26] network booting the livecd.. it doesnt find the network driver in the initrd. someone with experience in that field? [22:26] the99zChris: why in the world do you think that ur swap is less..its around 1.5 GB [22:26] /quit [22:26] robacarp1: and I imaine that you have a partition for the /home folder .... [22:26] try the x.org log file things see if anything shows u [22:26] up [22:27] zleap: me? yeah i have, nothing REAL interesting, lemme pastebin it [22:27] yeah i am, thanks for tellin me about free -m though lol. i haven't used linux in a while and work alot so i couldn't remember how to check [22:27] ok ... I will configure samba by hand [22:27] chamunks: "pgrep amsn" to see if it's running ( it will output the process id ) then "pkill amsn" or "kill pid" to kill it [22:27] * unnamed teste [22:27] the99zChris: np [22:27] * unnamed test [22:27] hmm [22:27] Hi all, having trouble with my ethernet connection on this release of Ubuntu. Has worked sweetly in Hardy and previous ones, but for some reason this time, im getting some issues. [22:27] aLeSD: sorry, "its a good choice to understand what you need in /etc folder" I dont understand. /home is not in a separate partition [22:27] * unnamed test [22:28] unnamed: Please stop [22:28] Biscuit-> when you rebooted, do you at least get to see the grub menu, to select the different os'es ? [22:28] getting lets of network unreachable errors [22:28] n8tuser, I get the bootmenu that says WinXP or ubuntu, yes [22:28] would u happen to know how to change my lid closed suspend to the same suspend as idle screen off? [22:28] zoople, how does your routing table look like? [22:28] brb going to find food [22:28] ill just post my pastebucket link [22:28] http://www.pastebucket.net/73v2j2 [22:28] thats a few tests i did [22:28] zoople: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:28] robacarp1: imagine how wonderfull it will be if it was on a different partition ... [22:29] zoople, you don't have an ip address [22:29] Is there any easy command/program to se some specification of my system? ie, info about processor/ram/hd/graphic etc [22:29] you could format everything and after mount your old home [22:29] yeah but ive set it statically [22:29] so i dont get what the deal is [22:29] aLeSD: I am now seeing this. but that wouldn't backup my users/passwords [22:29] Jordan_U, hmm amsn doesent show on the pgrep [22:29] Is it typical for Ubuntu to report more HDD capacity than windows? Back when windows was installed as the only OS it showed 80GB hd capacty, Ubuntu shows 150GB === qb|away is now known as qbmaniac [22:30] Jordan_U, can you force a user to log out via cli? [22:30] robacarp1: it's a bit complicated ... I mean easy to backup ... but maybe hard to restore lol [22:30] zoople ifconfig eth0 netmask then route add default gw [22:30] there're two files in /etc [22:30] chamunks kill their shell [22:30] ntndo: hm. and how big should the disk be? [22:30] ok right, ill give that a go [22:30] passwd and groups I think [22:30] I'm not sure actually. [22:30] Hi, can anyone guide me how to setup a common directory which should be writable and readable to a group? Ive tried umask 002 on the users, but the new files does not inherit the group ownership [22:30] thanks [22:30] Hagg1: you need to put the sticky bit on the dir [22:30] zsquareplusc: windows said 60, Ubuntu says 150 [22:30] http://www.pastebin.ca/1259780 --- doesn't show anything majorly out of wack, but randomly it freezes when starting XORG, any ideas? My xorg config is the default that dpkg-reconfigure spits out without specifying driver or resolution or anything.. when it works, it works fine... but that's rare, and i have to reboot the pc when it locks [22:30] aLeSD: right...do I need to restore them in single user mode or something? [22:30] robacarp1: but you have to understand more of unix-like system if you want to proceed in that way [22:31] chamunks: You can kill their gnome-session, be careful though because if you "log out" the user that is running update manager the upgrade will stop [22:31] Biscuit-> reboot and boot from the liveCD then we mount that /dev/sdd5 again and do some reconfiguring [22:31] ikonia, i would do my own research on this but im working from my netbook and its cramped [22:31] ntndo: yes, but how big is it really? i mean whats written in the label? [22:31] n8tuser I'm om it [22:31] Hagg1 why cant you just change the permissions? [22:31] I'm having an issue with my wireless network connection. I just turned on my computer and normally the connection starts automatically. But this time it didn't. It doesn't show any wireless networks available, only 'hidden networks' ... when I chose my network (that usually isn't hidden), and enter my password, it won't connect....help me please [22:31] chamunks: just open a browser [22:31] ikonia: I've tried with 2770 on the directory, but that acted very strange with some users not allowed to read from the directory any more [22:31] I'd have to take it out to find out [22:31] robacarp1: if u just restore that files ... [22:31] Jordan_U, :S [22:31] aLeSD: well, I'll need to make sure that the user ids are all the same, right [22:31] and group id [22:31] Hagg1: setguid if you want it to take the grop permissions [22:32] the name could change [22:32] ikonia, i can only communicate with the computer via ssh right now the gdm is locked up but the update manager is still running my dist upgrade. [22:32] ntndo: and where do you see that space? the disk free application for example summs up all memory it finds, not just the 1st hd [22:32] koshari: because then user1 can not read/write to user2's files in that directory [22:32] we 're all numbers [22:32] uid numbers [22:32] chamunks: just do a who and kill the shell of the person you want to kill [22:32] !russian [22:32] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [22:32] zsquareplusc: disk usage analyser [22:32] Hagg1 set the owner as a group and add the users to that group [22:32] yea. [22:32] I'm having an issue with my wireless network connection. I just turned on my computer and normally the connection starts automatically. But this time it didn't. It doesn't show any wireless networks available, only 'hidden networks' ... when I chose my network (that usually isn't hidden), and enter my password, it won't connect....help me please [22:33] how do I stop my wireless networks from being 'hidden'? [22:33] Baatti: change it on the router [22:33] robacarp1: and think on a partition for your /home ... it's very usefull [22:33] ntndo: that the one with the circle showing the sizes? that tool sums up all it finds. [22:33] yea [22:33] ikonia: yes, and 2770 is setguid + rw-rw---- [22:33] Jordan_U, this is so strange i cant imagine whats locking this up.. [22:33] ikonia no, not my personnal network, ALL wireless networks that are normally available, and NOT HIDDEN [22:33] ikonia: if I'm not mistaken [22:34] server irc.krakow.pl [22:34] Baatti: if networks are hidden it's because the router is not broadcasting sid [22:34] ikonia: or rwxrwx--- I menat [22:34] aLeSD: well, I am set on having /home on its own partition for sure now, but I still have a limping system with 15 users files on it....and they'd probably not like their passwords reset....its borked [22:34] ikonia I normally see like, 12 wireless networks available right here where I'm sitting... [22:34] currently NONE of them are listed... [22:35] Baatti: are they key based ? [22:35] ikonia key? like WPA? [22:35] robacarp1: if you 're not going to delete your /home [22:35] Baatti: that could be one way, you cant see the networks if you don't have the keys [22:35] you can simply restore passwd ans groups [22:35] Baatti: hardware antenna switch on laptop? [22:36] koshari: there is no special ower, I see it more like a lot of users own the directory together, and everybody that is a member of the group should be able to read and write to all files in the directory [22:36] zsquareplusc yes, it's on [22:36] Jordan_U, maybe ill just let it run through for the night even though it says its going to take 13 hours [22:36] aLeSD: will reinstalling without reformatting (leave the partitions, fs intact) pick up my current /home? [22:37] hi. I have found a small bug in esvn package (it's not really a bug, it's a packaging issue) [22:37] how do I report/fix it ? [22:37] n8tuser ok I'm back in livecd ubuntu and have my terminal open and ready to go [22:37] robacarp1: dunno I'm nooby in ubuntu ...I don't know how their scripts work [22:37] so um...yeah...how do I make my wireless stop HIDING available networks? [22:37] Hagg1: there is the "users" group. chown the folder to that group. make it g=rw, and maybe set s bit too [22:38] koshari: at the moment, I have all the users in a group "test" and the directory is chgrp to "test" and has "chmod 1770 test", it seams to work, but some users is not even able to read files correctly [22:38] aLeSD: yea....I think I am going to pull the hd and swap it out for the same and install fresh there....then copy files over. I'll manually set the user and group ids if I have to [22:38] Hagg1, check permissions on the file [22:39] aLeSD: this whole nonsense started when I nuked /usr/lib .... a big accident .... :-( [22:39] I'm trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, however, it takes ages to get to the Language selection screen, and after selecting my language [22:39] how the hell do you nuke /usr/lib even by accident!?

[22:47] it's been working fine for a few months [22:47] Zeroyez: Firefox should'nt have any gnome dependancies... As you can install it on a kde desktop whitout problems... [22:47] how to make usb flash drive bootable. i have linux iso on flash drive. [22:47] just now, it's started hanging, [22:47] Zeroyez: recommends are installed by default in ubuntu, but you can avoid installing them by doing "sudo aptitude --without-recommends install packagename" [22:47] hay do uuids change on reboot? cause in my fstab the devs keep changing on restart and i dont understand why [22:47] Biscuit->open a terminal again and sudo -i [22:47] is Intrepid stable enough for a samba PDC ? === ess is now known as SportChick [22:48] n8tuser done [22:48] mmk, so I can still run firefox perfectly without recommends, yes? [22:48] hello got another question [22:48] with Xorg and from one to two ld-something.so.2 processes together sucking 100 percent cpu [22:48] Guest50508: UUIDs shouldn't change, they're actually made to be as long-lived as possible [22:48] brings the system to its knees [22:48] hi every1! [22:48] Zeroyez: if you can't, then that would be a bug in the package. [22:48] alright, thanks alot :) [22:48] Zeroyez: I guess... yes. [22:49] anyone know why firefox wont open thepiratebay.org? nor microsoft.org? there are several websites it wont open, unless im using a proxy [22:49] does any1 know how I can make my wireless card work? [22:49] Biscuit-> mount /dev/sdd5 /mnt [22:49] the only thing i can recall that changed today was that i installed the mail-notification applet [22:49] poboy975linux: have you tried with another browser? that sounds very much like a problem unrelated to ubuntu [22:49] anyone seen this behavior before? [22:49] poboy975linux: Are you running an old intrepid install ( not update to final ) ? [22:50] yeah, I tried opera, same thing. is there a firefox channel? [22:50] poboy975linux, ping thepiratebay.org [22:50] i'm running hardy 8.04 [22:50] n8tuser - I get: mount: special device /dev/sdd5 does not exist [22:50] I'm having some strange problem here... if I click Places -> Home folder (or any other folder), banshee pops up O.o [22:50] poboy975linux, try direct ip [22:50] poboy975linux: wait. you just said you tried opera and it's the same thing, *so* you want to go to a firefox-specific channel? how does that make sense? [22:50] Biscuit-> fdisk -l again and paste in pastebin the results..seems your hd mapping keeps on changing [22:50] Hi, i was having troubles earlier with my ethernet. Tried to set it with ifconfig and that did not work [22:50] i cant connect to wireless [22:50] poboy975linux: your router, or your ISP, is probably blocking those sites, or one of the ISP's links is down, most likely. [22:51] ok, just a sec pinging [22:51] im connected [22:51] i got a "no buffer space available" error [22:51] Jordan_U: any ideas? [22:51] ampleyfly: Right click any directory in nautilus, go to properties and change the "open with" preference to "open folder" [22:51] but im only receiving bytes at a time [22:51] Does anyone know how a business can setup and install their own Ubuntu based GPG keyserver? [22:51] Jordan_U: hey, thanks =) [22:51] Jordan_U: any idea why it does this? O.o [22:51] ok here ping resultshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/73544/ [22:51] ampleyfly: np [22:52] LjL: /dev's should be changing either unless i change the position of my drives....but everytime i restart all the drives are being mounted to wrong locations cause the devs slightly change....any ideas? should i use the uuid instead of the /dev/sda1 stuff? [22:52] sorry, I dont normally use opera, only installed to try see if it would work [22:52] http://pastebin.com/m1c20c076 [22:52] im beggining to think it may be a driver issue? as my ethernet worked fine in previous releases [22:52] Guest50508: yes; you should use uuid [22:52] can someone help me [22:52] poboy975linux, that looks ok [22:52] n8tuser http://paste.ubuntu.com/73545/ === `EJ is now known as EJ [22:52] ampleyfly: It's a bug ( I think it only existed in the intrepid beta, did you upgrade early ) [22:52] Guest50508: yes, of course you should use the UUIDs, they exist to avoid that sort of problems to begin with. but i wouldn't know why your /dev/ files would change like that [22:52] im connected to wireless it says 100/100 but im only getting a couple bits at a time [22:52] http://pastebin.com/m1c20c076 [22:53] erUSUL [22:53] how do i list out the ssids for each dev? [22:53] the uuids [22:53] sorry [22:53] when I try thepiratebay.org it just sits there, and does nothing [22:53] Guest50508: blikd [22:53] Jordan_U: Yeah [22:53] poboy975linux: don't use illegal wares sites then [22:53] poboy975linux: on my browser, it redirects to the police's site. perhaps that's what you're experiencing. [22:53] !uuid > Guest50508 [22:53] Guest50508, please see my private message [22:54] Biscuit-> yes, your hd keeps on shifting every reboot, is there something in the bios where you can set the correct mapping? and boot priority? [22:54] hello? [22:54] 100 percent cpu time problem, anyone? [22:54] hi [22:54] Great_Gatsby, that interface has no IP address assigned, so it's not really very connected. what's on the other hand, a DSL router? [22:54] n8tuser I can certainly have a look, boot to BIOS then? [22:54] ok but why is it redirecting? i have a windows computer on same internet connection and it works just fine [22:54] yates: depends are u running second life client ? [22:54] search for viruses? shutdown unused programs [22:54] hi, is it possible to set new files default group name in your bashrc as well as the umask? [22:54] poboy975linux: not up for disscussion [22:55] no [22:55] aLeSD: no [22:55] yes LjL [22:55] yates: I mean ... 100 % cpu usage is normal if the cpu is doing something [22:55] lumgwada: set your primary group [22:55] no shit?

[22:57] i use hotmail for email [22:57] Guest50508: yes on most conf files and in bash scripts # is for commenting out [22:57] poboy975linux: sorry no [22:57] afallenhope: serial port for login [22:57] ikonia you have a hint on how to make the kernel detect and assign same hd to same label all the time? i forget how to do this [22:57] !software | bonhoffer [22:57] bonhoffer: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [22:57] I wish my computer was smart enoughto not go there :) [22:57] afallenhope: i mena text console [22:57] zsquareplusc, hmm.. okay. ty [22:57] so what is wrong when Hardy's default logrotate instance tells me blatantly on /usr/sbin/logrotate -fd /etc/logrotate.conf that it happily rotated all configured logs, but then I see they're not rotated at all? [22:57] Great_Gatsby: is there any other computer you can access the router from? if not, can you connect to the router via ethernet? [22:57] anyone know how to install curl? => sudo apt-get install php5-curl [22:57] afallenhope: its what you get by pressing ctrl+alt+F1 [22:57] n8tuser: sorry, say that again, I didn't quite get it [22:58] ok, whats wrong with my comp if some ubuntu users can see the sites, and i cant [22:58] no intelligent life here. [22:58] erUSUL, yes, but i thought that curl would be in the default distro [22:58] n8tuser the 4 HDDs have a boot order in my BIOS, do I want to change it? [22:58] bye [22:58] RAID [22:58] bonhoffer: wget is [22:58] ikonia-> Biscuit's hd rotates to different labels everytime he boots, it switches between /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd [22:58] zsquareplusc, yeah figured as much thanks [22:58] Is there a simple way to duplicate/clone a users account so all the settings get cloned rather than back at default for laborus configuration again? [22:58] Biscuit-> hang a sec, lets see a what ikonia can suggest [22:58] supercom32: well but sure, you just copy its home directory [22:58] thanks n8tuser [22:58] supercom32: backup the home folder ? [22:59] supercom32: there is /etc/skel [22:59] n8tuser: it shouldl read the disk label every time, unless they both have the same label [22:59] /etc/skel? [22:59] hi all [22:59] well, if you copy the home folder, doesn't that cause big problems? When i remember doing that last, lots of stuff didn't startup right. hardcoded paths? [22:59] Jordan_U: so I guess you're running banshee on ubuntu, have you tried 1.4? [22:59] supercom32, the dot files (the files/folders starting with a period) in the home dir holds the configs. Copy them over, and change the ownership. There may be a few that have the home path hard coded in them, you can search for that with grep [22:59] I have a legitamate problem and you are refusing to help?????!?!?!?!? [22:59] supercom32: that's user for new accounts, for example if you want to add some defaults for new users [23:00] poboy975linux: is the DNS server the same on the linux machine and on the other machine? [23:00] ikonia-> i dont know how his bios treats his hd, i have experienced those too before, and i forget what i have to do to keep it stable to name its same every reboot [23:00] !patience | poboy975linux [23:00] poboy975linux: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available.

[23:01] n8tuser: ooh really, even at that level [23:01] n8tuser: grub should be using uuid so the name's shouldn't matter [23:01] LjL: im not sure, let me check [23:01] have you tried using ffmpeg to encode them to another format calwig [23:01] DVD movies from Constantine Film do not play on VLC, does anyone know what i have to install [23:01] !dvd | calwig [23:01] calwig: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:01] Great_Gatsby: funny thing is I cant even read them, the player totally crashes as it starts to read the data, [23:01] ikonia okay..let me peek at his menu.lst again [23:01] ikonia, except for the (hd0,0) section in the stanzas, those can get screwed from that [23:01] n8tuser, ikonia, is my PC some sort of freak machine or something? === robertcarpenter_ is now known as robacarp_ [23:02] nickrud: not with device.map [23:02] nickrud yeah we specified root (hd3,4) but since sdd changed to sdc this is out of the window [23:03] Jordan_U: I think i have all formats installed, I'll go thru this list again that you have posted, the issue is from the movie rental store's view that the movie manufacturers from Constantine Film have put a much bigger encryption cloud, even to play, so i can read the files, but are encrypted [23:03] all my drivers for the wireless card are installed [23:03] How can I disable a PCI wireless card from command line?

[23:05] can someone please help i need to get wireless working [23:05] Guest48487, replace the root=/dev/sd* with the root=uuid= [23:05] Jordan_U: installed [23:05] im not going to have a wired connection for long [23:05] MHz128: u'd check wich device is the one u want to disable [23:05] Biscuit-> but is there like SATA 1 then SATA2 to correspond to which hd you've got? [23:06] tripitakit, cool thanks man! [23:06] Jordan_U: it was my understanding that libdvdcss2 was the sort of "missing key" for the decryptiong process, but i dont know if they need to update it [23:06] Any known issues with cpu freq scaling in x64 with a Q6600, please? [23:06] MHz128: check with iwconfig then ifdown the intended one [23:06] if i use uuid= in fstab should i comment out the /dev/sda1 stuff then? [23:06] poboy975linux: well, no idea then [23:06] n8tuser in device priority it just has dvd then one HDD, but the next menu is Drives which has each HDD listen in order [23:06] I'm trying to find out. [23:06] Biscuit-> in that other menu, whats the HDD order? [23:07] Guest50508, , replace the root=/dev/sd* with the root=uuid= === lando__ is now known as lando [23:07] Jordan_U: do you think emailing the developers of libdvdcss2 and ask them if they could try these types of movies could get me an answer, or do you think i should research more perhaps on this before i email them [23:07] n8tuser they each have a full name: SATA4M... HDD:5S... SATA:PM... SATA:3M... === samferry is now known as samf [23:07] if I add a bunch of dns ips into network config, would that help? === samf is now known as samferry [23:08] nickrud: my fstab example right now looks like this.../dev/sdf1 /media/Documents ext3 defaults 0 0 [23:08] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6199852#post6199852 <--- please help me [23:08] hey guys, how can i know if my ubuntu is vuln? [23:08] poboy975linux: if you say you can't connect even if you go straight to the IP address... then no, it would not. [23:08] soho: "vuln"? [23:08] soho: vulnerable to what? [23:08] yeah exploitable [23:08] Guest48487, ah, fstab not menu.lst. Yes, replace the /dev/sdf1 with UUID=. [23:08] to anything [23:08] i want to know how secure my ibex is [23:08] soho: yes, it's exploitable. [23:08] soho: give here your public ip ;) [23:08] Guest50508, see above, I hate these guest names [23:08] how can i prevent it? === DrunkY is now known as drnk-e [23:09] soho: the probability that some yet to be discovered exploit exists for your Ubuntu release approaches 100%. [23:09] do i need to harden my kernel? [23:09] soho: you cannot prevent it. [23:09] anyone here that could help me with an "opengl" problem? got to warn you I am a complete linux noob [23:09] nickrud: thanks [23:09] Biscuit-> well try to get the correct order, to match your menu.lst entries.. hopefully that will fix it..or else if it keeps changing we are out of luck for now [23:09] soho we'll spend the night trying to expolit it [23:09] :D === Guest50508 is now known as barlrol [23:09] soho: you're relatively secure if you're running behind a NAT firewall, like a normal wireless router or something [23:09] calwig: I found at least one other mailing list post about constantine films not working with libdvdcss so you should look to see if it's been addressed already, if not the developers may need access to one of these new encrypted DVD's to work with. [23:09] soho: you can also realize, however, that if you keep your system updated, safe from physical intrusion and perhaps behind a NAT'ing router, chances of anything bad happening are pretty low. [23:09] soho: and have something like the firestarter firewall running [23:09] is there one forlinux? [23:10] oh well. i should learn to have problems others can easily solve :p [23:10] soho, yet, the odds of your ibex being compromized approaches zero, if you have no net facing services. You're only really vulnerable to socially engineered compromizing software [23:10] i thought the best way to keep linux secure was to harden the kernel? [23:10] can anyone help me [23:10] http://pastebin.com/m1c20c076 [23:10] soho: nonsense. [23:10] i cannot connect to any wireless router [23:10] oh [23:10] n8tuser, how will I know which corresponds to which when menu.lst and my BIOS refers to them in different ways? Could I go into XP to work out which drive is which (they each have a different size) and then work out how menu.lst refers to them each? [23:10] key , no key [23:10] so, I only have one internet connection....its a broadband dial up through tethering my phone to windows xp maching. ics sharing to network and this linux box and a linux laptop. windows box has no problem with any site at all. both linux machines most sites work, some need proxy. [23:10] soho: you really don't need to go to any elaborate measure, regardless, the linux kernel is already has excellent security [23:10] Hi I have a xml file. what program would allow me to look at it without all the extra code? [23:10] soho: remembere that you have ufw as default firewall and a guiufw (or ufwgui) [23:11] soho: there's no such thing as the "best way" to make something "secure" in general. security is a compromise that depends on your needs. === qbmaniac is now known as qb|away [23:11] true [23:11] Is there any way from nautilus to do something like "Open Terminal Here" ? [23:11] scripts [23:11] tripitakit: not true... ufw is only a wrapper for iptables, and it's not installed by default [23:11] Jordan_U: sweet, thanks, looking helps, since ive never had problems, but confirmation from the movie store made me see that it wasnt my dvd player since i had other movies not from CF. Ive tried 3 movies from CF and they all dont play, from 2005 and on approx. I'll google a bit more... got the link that you found on the issue? [23:11] LjL is it possible [23:11] iptables firewalls are real good [23:11] soho do you have any server runnin on your pc? [23:11] soho: if you don't know what compromise you're looking for, then you're probably best off just using Ubuntu as provided by default, as the developers strive to make it very secure for the average user. [23:11] to update a kernel or compile it? [23:11] anyone? [23:11] no i dont tripitakit [23:11] halp? [23:11] soho: regardless, just install firestarter, enjoy it's easiness, and go on with your life feeling secure ;) [23:11] soho: yes. it's also strongly discouraged. [23:11] rdw200169_: i guess in intrepid is on by default [23:11] LjL how come? [23:12] Biscuit-> match the hd size yes, look at what you pasted earlier [23:12] thanks n8tuser I'm on it [23:12] what if i was on hardy haron, but watned to update to a new kernel? [23:12] tripitakit: yeah, but it should be just drop-default policy in iptables, though i'm not sure, i haven't upgraded yet [23:12] soho: because the packaged kernel that comes with your Ubuntu release was tuned and tested for it. months have been spent doing that. [23:12] oh [23:12] hi. i'm having a problem with evolution. doing a regular contact search in the contacts view works fine, but when i try to use the "To..." picker, i can't get any search results! [23:12] right [23:12] soho: if you want to roll your own kernel, you'll actually *miss any pushed security updates*, for a start, which would *open* your system to very serious security risks. [23:12] How do I get OpenOffice.org 3 ? [23:13] calwig: http://www.via.ecp.fr/via/ml/libdvdcss-devel/2007-05/msg00000.html [23:13] soho: as long as you have a drop input policy in ubuntu, and don't run any services, like a webserver or something, you're fine [23:13] yeah i dont run anything [23:13] !give pici a test [23:13] * PiercedWolf gives pici some sweets [23:13] * GibbaTheHutt gives pici [23:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:13] * Narcissus gives ikonia a spoon [23:13] vaginal fluid on the brain [23:13] Jordan_U: super good... i will look into it tanks!

[23:14] soho: the exploits are only affecting people that have a running ssh server, open to a network [23:14] soho: but the default firewall won't allow access [23:14] oh ok [23:14] i dont run ssh server [23:14] !give pici another test [23:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:14] soho: perfect, you shouldn't have a problem [23:14] great [23:14] :P [23:14] !OpenOffice.org [23:14] a free and open source office suite, including word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org".

[23:17] didnt get that [23:17] soho: also, note, that if you really want to make your linux more secure, you could fool around with selinux, which is part of the linux kernel (in ubuntu) [23:17] gtkpod won't read a mount [23:17] !selinux [23:17] SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported.

[23:19] nickrud: can i also use uuid in the exports file for nfs shares? [23:19] yes [23:19] mn: or add this repo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main [23:19] n8tuser : hmm... an if I allow ssh only from a specific ip address? [23:19] barlrol, that I don't know, i don't use nfs [23:19] Does anyone know where or how I can get Left 4 Dead Dedicated server files? [23:19] mn: and then do update [23:19] mn: Add this repository and update your system https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive [23:19] soho: you can look at the whole mess in this perspective: the same people who wrote viruses 20 years ago, and were really good at it, are now doveloping for linux ;) [23:19] n8tuser I can find the full names of each HDD listed in XP's device manager, but I'm struggling to correlate their names to which is actually which. Explorer only details their size without names whilst Device Manager lists names but no sizes. And rather irritatingly 3 of them have very very similar ID's [23:19] ok LjL: here are my dns that windows box is using http://paste.ubuntu.com/73557/ [23:19] to which file?

[23:20] mn: System -> Administration -> Software Sources or /etc/apt/sources.list [23:20] rdw200169_ you mean they are trying to make them for linux? [23:20] why!? === kevin_ is now known as uvacav [23:20] soho: the same punk kids from 20 years ago, who thought it was fun to steal someones desktop or keystrokes, have matured, grown up, and now see things in a different perspective [23:20] n8tuser : nope, only as an incoming firewall rule. Isn't it enough? [23:20] Biscuit-> reference the output you had for ubuntu livecd when we did fdisk -l [23:21] oh [23:21] !give ikonia lunch [23:21] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:21] n8tuser, ok, bear with me [23:21] i guess ipod touch 2.1 software is not supported by intrepid... i don't get why [23:21] herrmess-> i can not vouch for totality of security, you have to do what ever it takes for you to get comfy [23:21] n8tuser sure :) [23:21] ok, when I type in ip address manually, it says looking up, the gives me name of site, the waiting on site,.........then nothing [23:21] soho: on top of everything, ubuntu goes the extra mile, and uses md5 sums of the packages, along with gpg encryption, etc... to secure the source of downloaded files [23:21] is there a way to take the handles off of a gnome-panel? they wont' go transparent so they dont look right [23:22] smorron: Has the 2.1 firmware been jailbroken yet? [23:22] i dont know what that means, i know md5 and gpg encrypt are [23:22] soho: you can check the md5 sum, for example, of a downloaded .iso from a mirror, to verify that you got the correct .iso, and not a hacked one [23:22] but why is that significant? [23:22] poboy975linux: i don't care *which* dns you're using, i only care whether or not they're the same that you're using in Ubuntu. also, if the same happens with IP addresses, then DNS aren't relevant at all [23:22] ohh [23:22] i realize this is not an ubunto problem, but it seems that my computer wont start memtest86 from any of the k/kubuntu distros i have. i select the memory test menu item from the cd menu and then it clears the screen and just sits there with a blinking cursor top left. i can boot any os. but memtest wont work. any ideas? [23:22] yeah i knew that :P [23:22] i usually never check though [23:22] yes i have it jailbroken [23:22] i should start [23:23] hi guys. doing a small prez to new linux recruit 2nite. topic is linux/ubuntu & media - focus on audio production [23:23] any advice [23:23] Jordan_U, i do have it jailbroken [23:23] equex: i don't know, but this *is* an ubuntu problem [23:23] soho: then there's the whole 'package signing' thing that takes place in the ubuntu repo's [23:23] recommendations? [23:23] ok, sorry about that...any ideas? I can ping site ok, just cant open in a browser [23:23] equex: are you sure the CD is good? have you verified it? [23:23] poboy975linux: try « echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling » [23:23] soho: so if a repo's domain is taken over, in an attempt to distribute hacked packages, they won't pass the key check ;) [23:23] LjL: i tried 5 different ubuntu cd's from version 5 to 7 [23:23] cool [23:24] rdw200169_ ever try a linuxapp called aircrack? [23:24] came back with a 0 [23:24] does anyone know how to set up samba..i've set it up the right way but i haven't been able to sync both systems [23:24] !samba [23:24] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [23:24] poboy975linux: after that try to access the websites that failed [23:24] soho: yes, i used it on my mac, that's why you shouldn't use wep keys on a wireless network [23:24] equex: does that only happen from the CD? because you know, you can start memtest from GRUB in an *installed* system, too [23:24] does it also work for WPA? [23:25] soho: nope, that's why wpa was created [23:25] soho: if you use weak passwords. === ^kiyoshi^ is now known as kiyoshi [23:25] LjL, true, true [23:25] soho: but you could go hardcore, and severely lock down a wireless network running something like coovachilli [23:25] smorron: see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone#Firmware%202.0%20and%202.0.1%20will%20not%20sync [23:25] sorry nope. I refreshed the proxy version at same site and it loaded in about 5 seconds, the regiular is still waiting, after about 30 [23:25] soho: check coova.org, but that's a little overkill for a small operation [23:26] LjL i dont have a real linux install on this box right now... (i plan to tough, i kind of forgot that i cant dual boot linux/windows in raid mode!) [23:26] atleast i dont think i can. [23:26] hah [23:26] poboy975linux: do « echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling » [23:26] ok, so i have a cd in my cdrom and i can see the files on the cd with the file browser. the icon on my desktop seems to show that the cdrom is mounted. I can copy the files to my harddrive by clicking and dragging. how do i copy from a terminal? I cant seem to find where it is mounted to [23:26] poboy975linux: to undo the mod [23:26] jasuus, type mount [23:27] ok did that [23:27] apeiron, ok, what am i lookign for? [23:28] jasuus, Something like /media/cdrom probably. [23:28] n8tuser I've worked out the BIOS boot order is C, G, E, F and I'm just loading up liveCD to have a look there [23:28] apeiron, yea, thats what i thought...nothing is there [23:28] b [23:28] b [23:28] b [23:28] b [23:28] aguitel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:29] i didnt notice that [23:29] jasuus, That's odd. =\ [23:29] Biscuit-> yeah that too to confirm [23:30] equex: it doesn't give you any message, such as for instance something about not fitting in memory? [23:30] jasuus, Can you paste the output of mount to the pastebin in the topic? [23:30] * apeiron is curious [23:30] hello all. when instaling the server..it asks to install "dns server" what exactly does this install? [23:30] Wicked, Do you have hosts on your network that you need to provide nameservices for? [23:30] Wicked: just guessing.. but I think bind [23:30] Wicked: bind the dns server [23:30] Wicked: a Domain Name Server [23:30] Oh, misread. [23:30] sorry [23:30] LjL: nope, absolutely no message. might the problem be that the motherboard is in raid mode ? [23:30] soho: well, then you should research securing apache2 [23:31] thank you [23:31] im removing it [23:31] Wicked: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_system [23:31] well thats all it installs? [23:31] i know aht nameservers are [23:31] apeiron, http://paste.ubuntu.com/73561/ [23:31] It and its dependencies, of course. [23:31] but inm trying to find out what packages are actually installed when i install that [23:31] just bind? [23:31] or...? [23:31] its the dns server if you run "tasksel" [23:32] jasuus, Look under /home/jasuus/.gvfs/ [23:32] anyone here a network guru? I have not been able to find help on a seemingly simple issue for several days [23:32] apeiron, nice [23:32] hmm rdw200169_ that is weird [23:32] apeiron, thx man [23:32] i removed apache but its still there [23:32] any ideas?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:32] LjL, :-o cool thx =) [23:33] should i delete /www where my .html files are? [23:33] I have a wlan interface and a eth interface, both are connected and the wlan is connected to the internet. But I cannot get to the internet on my machine [23:33] Wicked: (and, yes, it installs bind9 and bind9-doc, and of course their dependencies) [23:33] calwig: still there? [23:33] soho: how do you know it's still there? [23:34] so any more ideas? [23:34] storrgie1: what error do you get? [23:34] storrgie1: got some complicated firewall rules blocking outgoing to remote port 80? [23:34] I think my alsamixer is broke, it only shows Master. The Volume Control window, however, shows several settings in the Playback tab. What's up? [23:34] i typed http localhost [23:34] and my webpage loaded [23:34] neozen: erUSUL I am betting its more due to my routing tables... [23:34] and /www still has my html fils [23:34] files* [23:34] right n8tuser I've got sda1 as drive e: (last to boot), sdb1 is f: (2nd last in boot order), sdc1/2/5/6/7 is my partitioned c: drive (1st to boot) and sdd1 is g: drive (2nd to boot)! [23:35] storrgie1: well an actual error msg from ping or the web browser would be very helpfull [23:35] Jordan_U: yes im here, im going in 2 mins somewhere then back in about 20 mins, yo [23:35] neozen: erUSUL check out this post to see what I am doing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=981622 [23:35] storrgie1: unracheable host? host not known? any other?

(check /etc/resolv.conf) [23:36] Biscuit-> looks good, now modify menu.lst instead of that hd3,4 to hd2,4 [23:36] storrgie1: what ip are assigned on wlan0 and eth0 ? [23:37] soho: then that's because you removed the package but the program is still running in memory. either reboot, or type "sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 stop" [23:37] superb, I'm on it now n8tuser, thanks [23:37] how can i use hal-stop-polling in ubuntu/ [23:37] erUSUL: neozen when I booted up the machines both interfaces got an IP, but neither could get internet, no ping outside... but I could ping between them. So I unplugged the crossover and plugged back in, both had internet..... [23:37] calwig: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdvdread/+bug/182385 Still reading but it says "fix released" in debian so you can try grabbing libdvdread from debian unstable ( though, again, I am still reading the comments on the report ) [23:37] hmm let me try [23:37] package search told me have no package with this file [23:37] Biscuit-> i have to leave now, i have an appointment..sorry it took this long..

[23:38] hi, how could I give another user access to the soundcard? [23:38] storrgie1: what is default gw on Main Box ? [23:38] storrgie1, fwiw, the standard range for that class is 192.168.x.x, so those two "ranges" you mentioned really overlap [23:39] soho, If you just want to stop it after having uninstalled it, 'sudo killall -9 httpd' should do, though will stop other httpds too. [23:39] Which font package fixes this page? http://got.wikipedia.org/ [23:39] calwig: "Either the debian patch doesn't fix the bug, or the debian bug reported is a different one." :( but the comment before that suggests that it may be fixed in intrepid, are you using 8.10 ? [23:39] phaidros: make sure they're part of the audio group [23:39] LjL I would like to do the eth0 on a 10.0.0.x range, but i couldnt get that to work at all [23:39] erUSUL: the gateway for wlan is 192.168.1.1 [23:39] Gnea: thanx [23:40] cyberix: this page is broken, doesnt identify correct imho [23:40] httpd: no process killed [23:40] erUSUL: so to get internet to work I did this: sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 [23:40] how come when ever i minimize my firefox or any application on ibex it does not go into my toolbar? [23:40] LjL could i get the eth0 to work on the 10. scheme, and have my wlan on 192.168 scheme and get internet working? I would really like that === MadMax is now known as Guest80171 [23:41] cyberix: sry, i could be wrong, dunno which fontpackage helps you [23:41] storrgie1: well i suspect that depending on what interface comes up ñater you get gw via wlan0 (when it works) or via eth0 (when it does not work becouse the raid box is not a router) [23:41] soho: toolbar? guess you mean taskbar? [23:41] storrgie1: ñater == later [23:41] yes [23:41] phaidros: should just be a System->Administration->Users and Groups [23:41] sorry the taskbar [23:41] any ideas neozen [23:41] soho: does either of your panels contain a tasklist? [23:41] erUSUL: so what i just did was restart the RAID box, same issue... no internet... and added the gateway, but it does not work this time [23:41] no [23:42] soho: forget the exact name of the panel-applet in gnome [23:42] soho: *I forget [23:42] i had avant windows manager, but i upgraded to ibex [23:42] then my ubuntu got broken [23:42] soho: ahh [23:42] soho: drag [23:42] its all awn fault [23:42] !!!! [23:42] how can I get network manager to generate the proper ip into the resolve.conf file? [23:42] cyberix, It's Gothic, apparently. [23:43] soho: I take it you didn't keep a backup copy of xinitrc, .xinitrc etc [23:43] I can only find some Japanese Gothic fonts [23:43] no i didnt [23:43] * neozen nods [23:43] But I remember getting it to work by installing all available font packages [23:43] ;( [23:43] soho: happened to us all once [23:43] should i try to upgrade again [23:43] Which is something I'd not want to do [23:43] will that fix the problem?

[23:54] Can anyone tell me how to switch my video driver? I think I'm using xserver-xorg-video-intel by default, and I'm getting something like bug #111257 (except I'm getting without using compiz). I think switching video driver might get around it, maybe switching to xserver-xorg-video-i810? But I don't know how to make the switch [23:55] Konstanty: do you also have a webcam? it might be opening the wrong device [23:55] hey im back [23:55] www.bridealicious.net [23:55] srry [23:55] tilkster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:55] I need help with audio [23:55] storrgie1: well to simplify network why you do not disable the wirelles in main box and just configure raid box to act as router (share inet with main box) ? [23:55] TVVCR6: alt+f2 should give you a little command window in the gnome desktop environment [23:55] http://rafb.net/p/uE8bi110.html [23:55] Oh [23:55] help! [23:55] I'll just open up terminal manually [23:56] erUSUL: i like to run them independently, I really think it would be simpler to solve the issue for both machines, they both need to get internet from wireless and they both need to have IP's on the crossover [23:56] "bash: gstsreamer-properties: command not found" [23:56] erUSUL: the raid box is on 24/7 running VM's while the main box is just for playing media and games usually [23:56] Konstanty: http://www.sane-project.org/unsupported/canon-lide-70.html === jgoguen is now known as jgoguen|away [23:56] how do i get the floppy drive icon on my menu in 8.10?

[23:57] apeiron: i got my bookmarks saved on it [23:57] NDle55, Probably want to fix the code so it says 'void' instead of 'voi'. [23:57] TVVCR6: so you are not using gnome ;) [23:58] depends if they can use the computer and hold the zimma frame at same time!! hee heee [23:58] minimec: Huh?

But it is not.... Any suggestions as to how I can activate this? [23:59] NDle55: sometims it helps to use gcc-3.3 or the like insteaf of a 4.x and then you need to tell that to conf. like "CC=gcc-3.3 configure" [23:59] TVVCR6: the gstreamer-properties are installed in a normal ubuntu/gnome environment. [23:59] TVVCR6: by default... [23:59] minimec: Then why isn't it working for me? [23:59] erUSUL: I dont think thats the problem, i think its something to do with when network manager makes the wireless connection, it makes it AFTER eth0 is connected. So it doesnt set up the routing or resolving properly... but i dont understand these aspects of networking enough to fix it myself
