[00:00] vlt: ffmpeg -i file.flv file.mpeg [00:00] Uplink: man wget/-O [00:00] erUSUL: Thank you. [00:00] So, at the suggestion of another member here, I watched my Processor temp in my BIOS. From the time I looked at it, until when I exited, The temperature had climbed from 33 C to 39 C in about 5 minutes. Can anyone tell me what that might mean. [00:00] It is a sata drive [00:00] erUSUL, yes, two linies [00:00] has anyone ever gotten openldap working as a server with windows boxes as clients? [00:00] -i [00:00] or mencoder.. im still not clear on how the 2 are related.. [00:00] hololight: Yes it is a SATA [00:00] jrib: thanx :D [00:00] hi. how can i delete recursively all the files whose name contain the string "AAA" ? [00:00] natalie: those temperatures seem fine [00:00] Dr_willis_: they are different programs that do essentially the same thing [00:00] natalie: Did you have a look in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature? [00:01] natalie: well for any processor I've owned anyway [00:01] Petein with creative use of the find command.. is one way [00:01] rmn: so the driver is loaded... can you post your « dmesg » output on a pastebin ? [00:01] BlueEagle, no I didn't [00:01] well, the boot up sequence is two part.... it take it, it is giving you that problem after quite a bit has already loaded? like when it says it is trying to load files to boot the system? [00:01] the ubuntu version of ffmpeg doesn't support a few codecs, most notably mp3, for legal reasons, not sure about mencoder [00:01] Petein: or with zsh globbing! find works too like Dr_willis_ said [00:01] natalie: When your looking at your bios screen your computer is hardly working. But if you watch the temperature while your machine is actually doing stuff you will see a whole other result. [00:02] hololight: Well it is in the middle of the base system install when it's giving me that message [00:02] erUSUL, interesting line: [ 850.947249] ata1: reset failed (errno=-5), retrying in 8 secs [00:02] [ 858.725083] ata1: hard resetting link [00:02] BlueEagle, how would I be able to monitor it while it is running? [00:02] Petein: use it at your own risk → find folder/ -name '*AAA*' -exec rm {} \; [00:02] hololight: I don't know if it has anything to do with my problem, but yes the boot is two-part. [00:03] erUSUL, it repeats that over and over for ata1 and ata2 (card has two drives) [00:03] erUSUL: -delete is easier to write :) [00:03] rmn: yep... but it is weird that problems appear only by adding more ram [00:03] Is there a easy way to apt-get remove the binutils with out removing the other files or is there a way to apt-get install a older version of the binutils? or should I just creat a symbolic link to the currect version to reflect the older version name?? === Sdubs|Away is now known as Srinster [00:03] natalie: You could repeatedly cat the file and watch the value change or you can use an application that monitors that file for changes and updates a display. [00:03] !away > Srinster [00:03] rmn: maybe the sata cables (or power) loosened when you opened the case [00:03] Srinster, please see my private message [00:03] jrib: noted ;P [00:04] natalie: The BIOS is not the only place where you can read the cpu temperature. [00:04] :) [00:04] erUSUL, i rewired, and i find it improbable that three distinct wires are broken/loose [00:04] natalie, yeah === FiremanEd_ is now known as FiremanEd [00:04] hololight: Still with me? [00:04] erUSUL: though I'm not sure if it will have a different result. ie it may delete directories [00:04] other drives got far rougher treatment, but they're on the mobo and works fine [00:04] Rusty0918: Well, I have heard of a few cases (not many), where there was a problem with the system loading the drivers for a SATA cd drive. But since you are saying the desktop version is working fine, I am almost at a loss [00:05] hi i am trying to set up vista as a dual boot (ubuntu is my main). what do i need to be careful of to avoid overwriting all my data? [00:05] csilk, BlueEagle: Any program suggestions [00:05] jrib: alright sounds good. So after I do apt-get install $(for package in $(aptitude -F '%p' search '~Aintrepid-backports~i'); do echo -n ${package}'/intrepid ' ; done) I should replace it with apt-get install $(for package in $(aptitude -F '%p' search '~Aintrepid-security~i'); do echo -n ${package}'/intrepid-security ' ; done) [00:05] rmn: well; i can not think on any other cause... may be a kernel bug. Report it [00:05] !bugs | rmn [00:05] rmn: 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 [00:05] !google linux cpu temerature monitor [00:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:05] jrib: maybe we should add a -type f XD [00:05] erUSUL, ok. but *if* it is a bug then it *ought* to return to normal by removing the ram-socket? [00:05] hololight: Perhaps it could be a bug in the image itself perhaps. 8.10 server wasn't launched too long ago [00:05] jrib: and after that do -security, -updates, and then just /intrepid [00:05] erUSUL, for what it's worth i went from 2GB to 4GB (x64) [00:06] lol i have 250 processes [00:06] gravemind1: nope, you need to change -backports to -proposed and that stays constant. Then you should start with /intrepid-security, then /intrepid-updates, then /intrepid [00:06] Rusty0918: you could try and download the Alternate Installer cd? [00:06] gravemind1: you should be running it 3 times [00:06] hololight: And since most people download the desktop verison anyways...I guess that may have been overlooked. [00:06] hololight: Alternate Installer CD? [00:06] hololight: What's that? [00:06] Rusty0918, just a different iso with an old, classic installer === mabry_ is now known as ThePredator [00:07] Rusty0918: The other 'non-ideal' solution is to set up your desktop install as a server.... quite possible [00:07] rmn: well it may be worth trying just to make sure it is the extra ram. it woulb be weird but with computers you never know [00:07] how can I see what ressources is using my soundcard ... I don't have any more sound .... I know if I reboot it will work again but I'm curious why right now nothing is played [00:07] jrib: alright -- I already ran the first command I showed you, which downgraded some backports I think. I will run it correctly now [00:07] hololight: Where do I get that from? [00:07] I'm trying to examine some files sitting on a friend's Ipod, but when I plug it in, I either get a window with files that I can't actually read (the file manager hangs) or nothing at all happens [00:07] anyone here good with binutils? [00:07] it is an iPod Nano 8GB. [00:07] or is there anything I can restart in terms of process to get the sound back ? [00:07] erUSUL, granted. :) i'll mess with it tomorrow, thanks for your assistance. [00:07] I cant get amsn to work properly. Can anyone help me please??? [00:07] !ipod [00:07] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [00:08] rmn: no problem [00:08] rusty0918: On the download page, server, off to the right; the link is not very obvious [00:08] !sound [00:08] gravemind1: hmm. Maybe it's easier to just do /intrepid and then upgrade your system after removing -proposed. I don't think my suggestion will work (you'll end up with the same result) [00:08] 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 [00:08] Do I need to remove flashplugin-nonfree if I want to install the 64-bit *official* Adobe Flash plugin? [00:08] on my laptop running ubuntu, the wifi seems to turn itself off, if the computer doesn't have activity and the screen dims for sometime. how do i avoid that ever disconnecting ? [00:08] Peddy: yes [00:08] BlueEagle, already been there, that page is no help at all [00:08] Peddy: you should, yes [00:08] I can't manage what I can't yet see [00:08] Any ubuntu networks around? I could really use a little help. I have a laptop with a wired NIC and wireless ( pretty standard). I am running Ubuntu 8.10 and if I do ifconfig, I have a eth0 eth1 eth0:avahi and lo. My wired works but if I select the globe at the top right my ETH1 shows my SSID of my wireless and a full blue bar yet I get no connection and the ETH1 in ifconfig shows no Address [00:08] Peddy: yes but keep in mind that the 64 bit plugin is *alpha* [00:08] hey buddies!! I'm trying to get Tor+Vidalia+Foxyproxy working in firefox under 8.04 and it seems everything is working, but my ip address is not changing. I had to compile vidalia from source to get it to work and I installed tor from apt-get. Does anybody here have any suggestions for me to help getting my Tor working? [00:09] Hello guys. Advice me please - how to make ubuntustudio bootsplash widescreen? Stretched image looks really horrible. [00:09] hololight: I see what you mean [00:09] jrib: alright, so just doing /intrepid, then apt-get upgrading [00:09] hololight: I'm wondering if its buggy or something [00:09] gravemind1: apt-get upgrading only after removing -proposed from sources.list and running apt-get update, yes [00:09] erUSUL: I know, but I'm giving it a shot because the I'm affected by 7 major bugs using the nspluginwrapper way. [00:09] flats: any encryption enabled? [00:09] !tor [00:09] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [00:09] hmm jrib, I have already removed -proposed. [00:09] Peddy: ok; good luck [00:10] They need to make a better factoid for that. :() [00:10] yes it says (WPA/RSN) [00:10] gravemind1: you need to put it back for the first command to work [00:10] :) [00:10] Rusty0918: Well, another option is to download a previous version and try that, but I dont think you will get much more mileage. [00:10] jrib: thank explains why it didn't work then :P alright [00:10] That's not very helpful Dr_willis_ [00:10] MTecknology: why is conky acting up on me? it hid all my desktop shortcuts and its on the middle [00:10] I am (still;-) following this how to: http://preview.tinyurl.com/5omaxe , but I want to run proftpd from inetd rather than as a standalone, is the command different? when i run the command given (to start the server) I get the following error: ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd. [00:11] Rusty0918: I would say first try the alt; then if it still doesn't work, set up a desktop install as your web server. [00:11] Uplink: watch the output [00:11] Dr_willis_: you are wellcome to try to make it better ;) [00:11] earthmeLon: there is a line in the privoxy config file you need to uncomment, then restart privoxy using /etc/init.d/privoxy restart. the line, has to do with fowarding socks4a. also don't use foxyproxy, use torbutton, foxyproxy is not secure. [00:11] KillerOrcA: Yes, it shows (WPA/RSN) [00:11] VanessaE: what happens when you execute the read-sysinfo-extended command? [00:11] gravemind1: basically, the command searches for all installed packages that have a version in -proposed, then tells apt to install the version from 'intrepid' repos of that package [00:11] how can i upgrade the java version. it requires me to have Java 1.5.0 [00:11] flats: ok, so you do have encryption enabled on the network? [00:11] but i only have java version "1.4.2-02" [00:12] command not found :) === parkerhiggins_ is now known as parkerhiggins [00:12] deigel. I will use torbutton instead of foxyproxy. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try reading up on what makes it better. I will also edit my pricvoxy config file. Would that be located in my home dir? .privoxy or something? [00:12] KillerOrca: Yes I do [00:12] VanessaE: So you didn't read the link in that article that explains how to manage your ipod nano then? [00:12] Uplink: gtg- good luck w/ it [00:12] mib: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [00:12] gravemind1: if you want, you can just run the inside part and then deal with the packages manually (specifying /intrepid or /intrepid-security or /interpid-updates yourself as appropriate) [00:12] Anyone: I installed Ubuntu 8.10. And I have the nVidia video card for my laptop. But not the latest drivers. 2 questions - Where can I get the latest drivers and will that change the appearance of Ubuntu. Because right now it looks like Knoppix. =/ [00:12] flats: have you tried temporarily removing the encryption? [00:13] sun-java6-jre is already the newest version. [00:13] BlueEagle, as I said, I've already looked at that page. [00:13] deigel: /etc/privoxy/config [00:13] Krzysztof drivers dont change the 'look' of the desktop.. other then perhaps for the default resolution. [00:13] VanessaE: To get the iPod 3rd Generation Nano to work, you may find this article helpful: [00:13] Willis: How would I change the resolution then? [00:13] Killerorca: Ya know I thought I about that, but thought there might be something easy I'm missing. Let me try that. BRB [00:13] jrib: I think I'll do them automatically if possible just so I won't mess anything up [00:13] Willis: I'm quite new to Linux [00:13] hololight: OK I'm gonna try an older version and see where that takes me [00:13] Krzysztof: System-> Administration-> Hardware Drivers [00:13] I'm told this is not a 3G but rather a 'classic' ipod (it is a nano though) [00:13] when i quireid java -version. it gives me java version "1.4.2-02" [00:14] VanessaE: Where "this" is a link that shows you how it's done in gutsy. However since you're most likely using ibex you would want to check the repository if those packages have made it in. [00:14] !multijava | mib [00:14] mib: To set which java version/implementation is to be used as default, use sudo update-java-alternatives [00:14] earthmeLon: its in /etc/privoxy/config the line as it needs to be uncommented, has something that references socks4a so just search for socks4a find the line (in regards to forwarding) then restart it. [00:14] VanessaE: if they have not all I can do is suggest you try it as it stands and hope for the best. [00:14] Ok, I'm on "this" page now reading. [00:14] I'll try 8.04 [00:14] I got confused, sorry [00:14] mib: sudo update-alternatives --config java [00:14] My msn isnt working properly. Can anyone help me please? [00:14] Willis: Brb [00:14] mib: choose the one you want to use [00:14] ..and I'm using hardy actually. [00:15] VanessaE: It's a nano and I'm quite sure that the 8G is a 3rd gen ipod. [00:15] ok [00:15] Hi All, I have a wifi problem. My ubuntu machine can see the access point, sees it's ssid, wifi radar says it's connected but I can't ping the ap or any other computer on my net [00:16] DavidCanarias: there is some aMSN program I believe, try a google search got it [00:16] ircmac: Have a look in your /etc/resolve.conf file [00:16] ircmac: The gateway should most likely be the ip of your access point. [00:16] Ok. The only driver it says I have is the Wireless LAN card. How do I DOWNLOAD the latest drivers for nVidia and how do I change the resolution of my computer. [00:17] KillerOrca thanks I have downloaded the latest version but its not right. [00:17] <|flats|> KillerOrca: Sugar Honey Ice Tea. It works. Isn't that a kick in the biscuits. I've asked that question about 3 times in this channel the past 2 weeks with no luck. Thank you very much for the help [00:17] deigel: line 1161 of /etc/privoxy/config is forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 . [00:17] Thanks for the help!!! [00:17] BlueEagle, ok, nothing shows up related to the ipod (or /dev/sdd) when I do a 'df' and kde doesn't react either [00:18] hello, i got a problem with 8.10... i've upgraded since a week or so but since today my X won't start.. after i start the pc and ubuntu's splash screen finishes loading i get to a black screen with a little horizontal white line blinking (top left)... and that's it. any ideas? :( [00:18] |flats|: well I hope you manage to get it to work with encryption, leaving the wireless network vulnerable isn't ideal [00:18] VanessaE: Did you install the packages? [00:18] yes, I have. [00:18] |flats|: you might also try different encryption settings: WEP, WPA, WPA-TKIP [00:18] Krzysztof: Which Nvidia card do u have? [00:18] I wonder if this thing needs to me reformatted. [00:18] (dmesg gives me buffer i/o errors and other oddities [00:18] Where do I copy libflashplugin.so to if I'm installing Flash Player manually? [00:19] Peddy1: ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [00:19] what arguments can I use for a game so I can start it in a resolution? [00:19] Holo: No idea. I'm completely oblivious to Linux and I have no idea what to do. [00:19] BlueEagle: the resolv.conf has the ip's of the dns of my provider. My windows machine that is currently connected to the same ap has the gateway set as the openbsd firewall on my net & all is good with it [00:19] Peddy1: there is a how to in adobes page.. it is ~/.mozilla/plugins/ iirc [00:19] thanks jrib and erUSUL [00:19] jrib: looks like I have to manually downgrade the kernel [00:20] gravemind1: you can probably skip that one [00:20] Anybody experienced in using amsn? [00:20] gravemind1: and just boot the older kernel [00:20] mm i'll try again, i got a problem with 8.10... i've upgraded since a week or so but since today my X won't start.. after i start the pc and ubuntu's splash screen finishes loading i get to a black screen with a little horizontal white line blinking (top left)... and that's it. any ideas? :( [00:20] usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 18 [00:20] usb 2-3: device descriptor read/64, error -110 [00:20] jrib, the problem is the command quits when "E: Release 'intrepid' for 'linux-image-2.6.27-8-generic' was not found" [00:20] what the heck does this mean in English? [00:20] Krzysztof: You can go to System-> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and search for nvidia then install one of thsoe drivers.... how old/ new is your video card? [00:20] sounds like a potential x.conf issue [00:21] look at the logs [00:21] Gershwin talking to me? [00:21] can anybody help me? === michelle is now known as sigma [00:21] i need help with my conky... i just downloaded conkey-vert config but its giving me issues [00:21] KleRoi, yes [00:21] ircmac: Well it does appear to be either a gateway or a firewall issue. [00:22] ircmac: Do you recieve ip configuration trough dhcp or is it manually set up? Which firewall configurator are you using? [00:22] hey guys. i'm looking at linux bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/281647 . I have a problem related to this and it seems the only solution available to me is to compile a new kernel with this patch. true/false? [00:22] hi, i get an error msg after doing a apt-get upgrade- "Errors were encountered while processing x,y and z" xyz being 3 packages (i guess). Any ideas to solve this? [00:22] chaqui1: game vid rez question? [00:22] BlueEagle, http://www.pastebin.ca/1260938 [00:22] Holo: There are SEVERAL nvidia downloads. What should I specifically look for? [00:22] what do you make of this? [00:22] eddVRS: give more details and pastebin exact output [00:22] Gershwin: i tried looking at logs, the only interesting thing i get is, after this blackscreen i try to load X (startx) but it just goes blackscreen, so when i go back to shell i get this lines: /usr/bin/x11/x: symbol lookup error : /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dribers/fglrx_drv.so : undefined symbol : firegl_querymcrange [00:22] BlueEagle: the ap log never shows the ub machine but does show the windows box [00:22] I don't understand ipods as it is.. is the filesystem or partition table on it just corrupt? [00:22] jirb: OK give me a min [00:23] Gershwin: and also, xinit failed or something like that [00:23] Krzysztof: it depends on how old new ur card is.... i have a 8800 and i use nvidia-glx-new [00:23] or would i just be able to download a .deb package of an upstream version of the kernel..? [00:23] Holo: Where can I check to see how old/new my card is? [00:23] Krzysztof: well, how old is your computer? [00:24] hololight: thanks for helping, I am playing oolite, its from ubuntu's repo's. the problem is I switched res from the ingame options menu and it crashed, now when I try to start it, it won't [00:25] Wait a second....Oh my. Is an EvereX GBook suppose to have Ubuntu on it, like when you purchase it? Or is it suppose to have another OS? [00:25] so I have a friend that has just crashed from updating from 8.04 to 8.10 and he is getting name@name$ and no commands are being recognized.... I dont actually have physical access to this laptop, but I can print something out on his printer through his Router.... I told him to type startx and iwconfig to see if I could get him on his wifi and then I could ssh to him [00:25] hey guys. i'm looking at linux bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/281647 .

[00:25] but it is saying command not found [00:25] name@name$ [00:25] jrib: alright looks like apt is not doing anything crazy, just downgrading stuff. here goes the /intrepid command [00:25] Krzysztof: you can type "lspci | grep nVidia" in a console... somewhere in the result should be the name and model of your card [00:25] I've tried reinstalling it, but it hasn't fixed it, I was thinking if I could use an argument to start it in its native resolution [00:26] VanessaE: were there any errors when installing the two packages? [00:26] or if the game had a safe mod [00:26] no. [00:26] mmm Gershwin still there? [00:26] chaqui1: the fastest way for me to suggest fixing it (without knowing the speficis of that particular game) is to uninstall it (completely) and then reinstall [00:26] jrib: entire upgrade output here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/74077/ [00:27] you could also try typing "man game-start-command" in the console and see what it says about arguments === jbroome_ is now known as jbroome [00:28] chaqui1: if you use the 'uninstall' method... use Synaptic and select the completely uninstall option when u find that program [00:28] eddVRS: pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/exim-daemon-light.* [00:28] at first i thought it was a xorg issue but i think it is more serious like a kernel issue [00:28] Hello could someone give me a hand with some video problems [00:28] eddVRS: pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/exim4-daemon-light.* [00:28] <|seb|> how "downgrade" to open source video driver? [00:28] <|seb|> I don't know how to change xorg.conf [00:28] Can you download gOS, put it on a CD and load it onto a laptop? [00:28] its an alienware laptop with nvidia graphics [00:28] ok... well i'll have another question for you guys, how can I format and make a clean install of ubuntu (i have the cd of intrepid) while saving some folders (music, movies)? i dont have any external hd. [00:29] |seb|: use the hardware manager to deactivate the restricted driver I think [00:29] not recognizing commands [00:29] Krzysztof last i looked it was its own disrto and you could download the iso/isntall it.. Or you could enable the repos and install it on a ubuntu box. [00:29] I tried to use the nvidia one so i could get desktop effects but when i rebooted i got the splash screen then a black screen and the login screen sound [00:29] Krzysztof of course thelast i tried it.. it wasent really worth trying.. :) I would suggest using Ubuntu, and try gos inside virtualbox [00:29] <|seb|> gravemind: thanks..is that the same as System-Preferences-Hardware Drivers? [00:30] |seb|: yes, but it's under administration [00:30] I guess the best idea is for him to get a 8.10 disc and let me ssh to him === nintendork32 is now known as nintendork45 [00:30] nintendork45: I'm still here [00:30] How long would it usually take gparted to shrink a harddrive by 200 GB? [00:30] a question for you guys, how can I format and make a clean install of ubuntu (i have the cd of intrepid) while saving some folders (music, movies)? i dont have any external hd. [00:31] KleRoi: Do you have any partitions or any free space on your hard drive? [00:31] KleRoi: Shrink your existing drive, make another partition, move music and movies over to that partition [00:31] Flare183: ok [00:31] KleRoi: resizing to make room for a backup partition? [00:31] what is the command to open up the file manager? [00:31] nintendork45: nautilus [00:31] nintendork45: nautilus [00:31] KleRoi not very easially... - like what Sharad suggests.. done that befor.. it was a... hassle. :) [00:31] jrib: no such file or dir. I get as far as /var/lib/ in fact, I did a search for exim on my system, no sign... [00:31] BlueEagle, Ok, for whatever reason, it just started half-working. [00:31] nintendork45: nautilus [00:31] lol [00:31] oops [00:31] You see, my computer was purchased and it had gOS V2 I think. And it died and I could never recover because of a silly MemTest thing. And now I decided to put Ubuntu on. Should I just resort back to gOS, because Ubuntu is strectched with my laptop resolution. [00:31] anyone got an answer to my question? it's been running for an hour now [00:32] <|seb|> gravemind: there is only a choice to "Activate" it..not "Deactivate" [00:32] I plugged it in again, and an empty konqueror window popped up [00:32] eddVRS: i made a typo the first time. Did you see my correction? [00:32] yes [00:32] yes [00:32] |seb|: hmm -- you just want to use the nv driver, not nvidia? [00:32] then an error dialog came up right after it, complaining about a lack of a reply and a list of possible causes [00:32] I tried to use the nvidia driver so i could get desktop effects but when i rebooted i got the splash screen then a black screen and the login screen sound and then when I hit the power button i got the exit screen [00:32] eddVRS: that's not possible :/ Does this return anything: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/*exim* [00:32] How long would it usually take gparted to shrink a harddrive by 200 GB? Anyone know? [00:32] gravemind Sharad erUSUL Dr_willis: well the problem is, that i cant get to X as i have a problem that i have highlighted before, my ubuntu just doesnt load X after the splash screen. also, yes i do have another partition where i have windows mounted, but i dont have much space in it. but i do have space on the partition where ubuntu is and where i would reinstall it. === mabry_ is now known as ThePredator [00:33] just run the live cd [00:33] BlueEagle, if I hit OK and click the reload button, "An unknown error occurred" pops up. [00:33] 还不知道怎么用这个东东， [00:33] and shrink using partition editor [00:33] "gparted" [00:33] KleRoi: you can boot up from the cd, adjust your partitions so windows has more space, and then proceed [00:33] KleRoi: do it from a livecd [00:33] !cn | hailong [00:33] hailong: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [00:33] gravemind: do u know anything for my question?

[00:34] it's been running for over an hour now [00:34] jrib, found it... /var/lib/exim4 contains one file called config.autogenerated [00:34] i dont know what to do [00:34] mm ok, but after i do that and i have more space in the windows partition, can i transfer files from one partition to another? and on top of that, how do i do it from the terminal as i dont have any help from X? [00:34] whether to stop it or let it continue [00:34] eddVRS: that's not what I need [00:35] Sharad: i suppose that it depends on the amount of data it has to move around [00:35] Sharad: Its normal for it to take a long time, especially if it has lots of stuff. I don't think you should interrupt it though -- that would probably be bad [00:35] !postbin [00:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about postbin [00:35] maybe its a initrd problem?

[00:36] erUSUL: Sharad: if the program isn't frozen, (and I wouldn't mess with it too much) I'd give it as much time as it takes. [00:37] "mm ok, but after i do that and i have more space in the windows partition, can i transfer files from one partition to another? and on top of that, how do i do it from the terminal as i dont have any help from X?" <-- i mean, can i just copy files from the ubuntu partition to the windows partition? o_O i thought i couldn't do that. [00:37] ah alright thanks a lot gravemind i'll keep that in mind [00:37] erUSUL: Sharad: if it's still doing that tomorrow then you have a problem :) [00:37] i guess i'll leave it running for the night [00:37] yup [00:37] just deprived of the computer in my room..hate using this comp :( [00:37] hi.. i have a little problem and hope to find some help here (let it be said I'm a seasoned linux user): When you have a brandnew harddisk and partition it with gparted (setting the disks mode to MS-DOS by default) Windows-CDs won't be able to boot anymore.. the only way to get them to boot is to either disconnect the HDD from the controller or to clean out the whole HDD with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda. After doing that I can install Windows [00:37] (creating a parition for it) and then install Ubuntu. My problem now is that Windows crashed and Ubuntu checked the HDD with fsck modifying the MBR in a way that AGAIN no Windows-CD would boot anymore.. any clues? [00:37] dail up? [00:37] if it is getting to name@name$ then it should be an init problem correct or could it still be a kernel issue> [00:37] ? [00:38] why leave the pc on all night?

I am telnet'd into another system [00:43] KleRoi: gravemind: boot from the live cd, adjust the partitions, transfer the files, then install ubuntu :) [00:43] it booted but when i looged in it said that there isnt a something file (ends in a btd i think) and that the users home isnt chmodded right [00:43] <|seb|> gravemind: actually fglrx (ATI) i suspect is causing X to freeze...so i'm hoping open source driver will avoid that [00:43] jrib: I did ask it..

I've only done it with nvidia cards, but I assume you just want to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, find where it says "driver: xxxxxxx" and replace it with the name of the open source driver [00:44] <|seb|> gravemind: the reason i just now took so long to respond is because my damn X froze! :) [00:45] im trying to install /home on another partition and when i log in it says some file isnt found so it cant save user settings and home isnt chmodded right [00:45] jrib: I can copy mine...mine is correct, the remote is messed.

[00:48] Flare183: dumbass i was correcting a sentence [00:48] Does the ubuntu install cd allow the user to delete any folder on / except the home folder? moving the home folder to a separate partition is not a solution.

(thats the wine channel) It's likely a wine issue (bug, configuration, whatever), and not ubuntu specific (although you're welcome to ask here) [01:06] daave: Why did you set a root password to begin with? [01:06] daave, voraistos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [01:07] daave: however gdm wont let you login as root, so you need to do it from the vt [01:07] raven: I know, passwd and then it will give prompt. [01:07] Flannel: see the thing is that I'm scared that ubuntu's not reading the disk properly but I could be wrong given it seems to read DVDs properly. even though it does oddly seem to lag at the start when playing DVDs, and the install does stuff up close to the start. [01:07] thanks all. [01:07] update libxml2 now XD [01:08] Tyrath: I'm not terribly proficient in wine, however there may be something you have to do/configure for wine to do its thing. [01:08] ok.. i hope there is a fix for this.. I have two sessions, one on tty7 and another on tty9.. I use chvt to switch from one to another.. however... if I am playing music on one.. and switch to another the sound stops.. I think the system disables audio on the other session while gives this session the audio device to use.. can I have it so it doesn't do that?!

Thanks for your time/help, I appreciate it [01:09] http://lives.sourceforge.net/ [01:09] Flannel: (a) but you would definately suggest it's a wine problem. (b) there wouldn't be a log I could find that would give us more indication as to where the problem is? [01:09] there are debs for it on getdeb [01:09] eddVRS: np.

[02:41] heh [02:41] Frogzoo, - Okey-doke, cheers fella. [02:41] Frogzoo, that's an old calculation for wendy .. usually you'll only need 1 gig or less.. more swap can become needed IF you're doing a lot of processing of video or Blender stuff.

[04:56] LoveTruth: what did you do to set up the alarm colck? [04:57] m3lawren-> so did it do it or not? [04:57] shinoj, what u mean? sudo apt-get install alarm-clock [04:57] shyam, may I ask why?

One cube face = one background [04:59] huy [04:59] shinoj, yes workls good [04:59] yuri_: most of the bugs are always squashed. except the ones that bite you :) [04:59] thank u orci [04:59] 69522hy [04:59] yuri_: there is lots of bugs still waiting to be cleared in 8.10 , so i would advice you to stick with 8.4 [04:59] dont know about bugs but this system is working really good 8.10 rocks [04:59] i dont know what to do, i dont thing i have to reinstall my all system to fix that [05:00] yuri_: 8.4 is more stable and with less bug [05:00] How can I see how much I'm dloading/uploading? [05:00] its not a bug its a feature [05:01] MTecknology: in torrent? [05:01] hello how do i format a drive that has fedora on it and load up an ubuntu minimal version ?? [05:01] shinoj: network usage [05:01] can anyone tell me how to monitor what is going through my network? [05:01] wos, if u mean packetwise, try wireshark === grep is now known as grep65535 [05:01] Sister_Blue, do you have ubuntu cdrom? [05:01] wos, wireshark [05:01] :( [05:01] wos: wireshark [05:01] My system doesn't pick up my flash drive. Yet my flash drive works on this system in Vista. However, this system in Ubuntu Intrepid 64 bit picks up my external hard drive, mouse, printer, wireless adapter, etc all by usb... but not my flash drive. My flash drive is brand new and worked fine for 3 weeks till two nights ago. lsusb shows nothing about the flash drive. Also - I tried three live CDs, hardy 64, intrepid 32, and intrepid 64. [05:01] All three of those LiveCDs dont pick up my flash drive now either. What gives? [05:01] orci yes [05:02] raven im not that advanced [05:02] shinoj: ok. ill stick with it until it is obsoloete [05:02] MTecknology: right click on the panal, click on add to panel, select system monitor [05:02] wos download nmap [05:02] is there something simpler than wireshark [05:02] hey guys, i need help setting up openssh-server on ubuntu-- first problem is it isn't in the apt-get installer [05:02] shinoj: command line [05:02] nmap? [05:02] wos: h on [05:02] wos, there's a console tool that just shows speed and number of bytes either way, but i cannot recall its name atm [05:02] is that in the repositories? [05:02] wos, check out wireshark [05:02] nmap is much more difficult than wireshark, wos [05:02] i can't find ssh anywhere in the repositories [05:02] raven: that's what I'm looking for the name of :P [05:02] conrad_: openssh-server is in the base repo [05:02] wireshark is too advanced for me [05:02] conrad_: How are you trying to install it? [05:02] Sister_Blue, just boot from the cdrom and choose defaults [05:02] MTecknology: sorry i dont know. wait for someone who knws it [05:02] shinoj: lol [05:03] sudo apt-get install openssh-server doesn't work [05:03] Sister_Blue, you'll lose everything on your hard drive and get a fresh copy of ubuntu [05:03] MTecknology, i was just using it to test network speed by piping zeroes like two weeks ago... [05:03] there [05:03] netstat -i -c can do what we want [05:03] orci when i tried to boot from the cdrom the cd did not respond instead the fedora system started up ?? [05:03] not pretty though [05:03] conrad_: System -> Administration -> Software Sources, make sure you haven't disabled main [05:03] i just installed a bootleg version of windows vista 64 and want to see if theres some kind of malware clogging up my internet connection. does anyone know how to do this? [05:03] yeah but tht's really ghetto, MTecknology, there's a pretty program for it [05:03] # security [05:04] oh wow... okay, after running updates it finds it.. [05:04] wos, you ahve to admit that the topic you are interested in is an advanced topic [05:04] nevermind, sorry to bother! [05:04] m3lawren-> try and see if udevinfo -q all -n sdX X being your lvm [05:04] orci not really, i just want to see if some program is using my bandwidth [05:04] Sister_Blue, your system bios has to be adjusted to boot from cdrom, currently no matter what it boots from the hard drive [05:04] !say ##ubuntu hello [05:04] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:05] i want something fun and technical to do, anyone got any ideas? [05:05] wos, thats what u use wireshark for [05:05] wos, I am not aware of any other software sorry [05:05] orci i have changed that setting in bios already [05:05] I have a question about SSH-- can I set it up so I have a different (very long) password for my ssh access but keep a short admin password for sudo functions? [05:05] would anyone be so kind to assist me in private using wireshark? [05:05] wos: I'm looking for the exact same thing. I'll let you know if I find it [05:05] wos, or firestarter lets u see whats connected to and from your computer [05:05] can anybody help me figure out what is wrong with my system recognizing my flash drive? I know my flash drive works... yet ubuntu wont recognize it [05:05] wos, but its not as detailed\ [05:05] you can put ubuntu on laptops right? [05:05] im on one right now, tietyt2 [05:05] tieTYT2: yep [05:05] @Roasted : tried to force mount yet ? [05:05] conrad_: You can use a private key for ssh rather than ( or in addition to ) a password [05:06] usser could you help me with wireshark? just for a bit [05:06] wos-> kindly visit #networking for that kind of request [05:06] pdah - gparted does not pick up my flash drive, nor does sudo fdisk -l... otherwise I'd try to force mount it. [05:06] tieTYT2: if you're wondering how it will go for yours do a search for the laptop model on ubuntuforums.org [05:06] is there a list of computers I can buy that will install ubuntu to without any issues? [05:06] wos, im going to sleep sorry [05:06] raven, try to get microsoft reader to work under wine on intrepid, it would be technical but maybe not so much fun [05:06] i'm thinking of buying a laptop [05:06] Jordan_U: that is, accept access from only specific ip addresses?

[05:06] n8tuser: Just to clarify, I already have logical volumes set up and working fine on this LVM volume group, I just created a new logical volume on the same volume group, formatted it, and it doesn't show up. [05:07] when i restart, one daemon warn me to enter password, how i solve it [05:07] tieTYT2: some laptops come preinstalled with ubuntu also. there are some nice smaller companies and of course dell [05:07] drakeman, maybe try wiping out your .aticonfig directory and starting over?

[05:08] n8tuser: Sorry, the new logical volume does now show up in /dev/disk/by-uuid for some reason. [05:08] n8tuser: ...it appears that it has arbitrarily been created in the past few moments. Thanks for your help. :) === john is now known as Guest76250 [05:08] m3lawren-> well try as root, udevcontrol reload_rules and see if those get updated [05:09] Can I launch a Gnome launchpad only with command, I haven't got one when I startup [05:09] sargento: alt+f2? [05:09] m3lawren-> i guess it does take a while to create the table entries for your LVM [05:10] Thanks raven, I'll try it right away [05:10] Is there a way to automate alsamixer so it mutes at certain times? [05:10] can someone help me troubleshoot a sound issue. [05:10] new install of 8.10 on a gateway, but no audio. [05:10] tried alsamixer settings (worked on earlier installs). Any ideas? [05:10] Whenever I mute my mic in 'Playback' it also mutes in 'Recording'. How do I make it stop doing that? :P [05:10] pepperjack: does a Intel GMA 4500M fall under that category? [05:10] fus10nx, what do you mean at certain times? [05:10] fus10nx-> use of cron to shut it perhaps? [05:10] I begin to ate ubuntu... pidgin quit short after I lauch it, firefox doesn't open my bookmark anymore, nor my modules... [05:10] n8tuser: Apparently. It was just surprising that other locations such as /dev/disk/by-id were updated quickly while /dev/disk/by-uuid took its time. Either way, it works now, so I'm happy. :) [05:10] tieTYT2: yeah [05:10] so if it has intel in the name of the graphics card, i'm safe? [05:11] tieTYT2: honestly nvidia has best drivers atm [05:11] or is it more complicate than that? [05:11] oh [05:11] tieTYT2: but intel is a safe bet [05:11] yo [05:11] yo [05:12] is that a no? [05:12] NEEL? [05:13] ddgoose: no luck, look this is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/74163/ [05:13] is there a task manager here :) [05:13] i mean in ubuntu?

How do I fix it? [05:18] .com [05:18] wow, shameless ad [05:18] :/ [05:18] raven: your laptop supports HDMI audio? If so, which make/model? [05:18] no audio, just video [05:18] u need an nvidia 9 series or above for tht [05:18] Shadoukun: you can do it in alsamixer instead use the f* keys to go between playback and capture [05:18] or a radeon 48xx [05:18] tritium chek out the newer vers of my series, gateway fx [05:18] hi [05:19] gf9 series ones shud do it [05:19] raven: thanks [05:19] newer video cards have built-in sound cards [05:19] F* keys?

[05:20] you're in a linux channel sir [05:20] :/ [05:20] nvidia + linux = happy [05:20] i got nvidia [05:20] ddgoose: any idea? [05:20] Can anyone point me in the right direction for logging each time mplayer plays a file? [05:20] but it doesnt boot right with the new ubuntu [05:20] i've bene trying to solve the problem for a while now [05:21] How is it possible that my built in ath9k card for my laptop only detects connections with 150PWR and above. I never seen it detect one with a power lower than 150. Any ideas ? [05:21] What do you mean use the function keys? >< Pardon my ignorance. [05:22] fus10nx, its aa bit of a ghetto solution, but if Last.FM supports mplayer and ur talkin bout music..

[05:22] I just have a playlist with x amount of movie clips that loop for 18 hours a day. I want to log each time a movie is played so I can gereneate reports [05:22] fus10nx, last.fm scrobbles music u listen to to their website, and if ur playing music in mplayer, and last.fm supports mplayer, u cud pull logs from their site that way [05:22] HIV_3ala2, yes [05:23] and say, OK, 1.mpg has play x amount of times and at these times [05:23] raven:I mean on installation [05:23] yes [05:23] oh ha ha i think that's way more than I want to do [05:23] it showed proper res and everything [05:23] then i installed the nvidia drivers and still fine [05:23] raven:why not mine? [05:23] what gf u got [05:23] I just figured I could watch the folder in which my files are contained and see when they are accessed [05:23] i 8800m [05:23] hii [05:23] hii [05:23] raven:I have 7300gs [05:23] mau: hello [05:24] i shunned nvidia everything after gf4 until gf8 [05:24] so i dunno === mewshi_ is now known as mewshi [05:24] have u tried installing the official drivers [05:24] ? [05:24] Hello all, I can't seem to connect to my wireless network, though wired is fine, it has a wep key and even though I enter that it doesn't connect. http://pastebin.com/d222e2c15 is my syslog of it.

[05:25] raven: just download driver pack,,,it will be fix? [05:25] * V1psta is away: I'm busy [05:25] Arenlor: are you trying to connect wireless with wired connected? [05:26] V1psta: please disable that [05:26] HIV_3ala2, goto nvidia.com, download drivers for linux x86 autodetect, then run the script in a console (with X shut down) [05:26] if it complains and u cant get X to shut own [05:26] just type startx [05:26] raven, do you know if it is normal that my ubuntu sometimes "pause" when I use Amarok + Amsn + Mozilla?? [05:26] and the file it mentions [05:26] delete it [05:26] Arenlor: try something like sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "routername" key 2131231283123;dhclient ath0 [05:26] wbmj that syslog has that yes, but it doesn't work either way [05:26] * V1psta is back (gone 00:00:01) [05:26] sargento: no idea. [05:26] HIV_3ala2, raven: note that we odn't recommend or support nvidia.com downloads. There are ubuntu-packaged nvidia drivers.

[05:28] tritium: coz I got nvidia and I need vesa to install [05:28] HIV_3ala2: do as you please, but note that you'll get less support here with nvidia.com downloads [05:28] tritium: okay np [05:28] HIV_3ala2, i use them, they work, but do what ya want mate [05:28] raven: but one more check [05:29] raven: If I have used vesa settings to install ubuntu [05:29] the nvidia drivers edit ur xorg.conf and back it up [05:29] raven: then after installation,,,,,should the pack do the rest? [05:29] so it'll set it up for u, then if it doesnt work, u can just restore it [05:29] raven: should I edit xorg? [05:29] it will edit it for u [05:29] raven: I feel it hard [05:30] no idea what u mean HIV_3ala2 [05:30] raven: I mean xorg editing needs correct steps [05:30] the drivers come in a shell script, and the shell script edits xorg for u [05:30] raven: i am a noob on ubuntu [05:31] HIV_3ala2: the big part of nvidia install is not editing xorg. that is fairly easy [05:31] ok [05:31] besides the packages to all that for you [05:31] hello [05:31] get the drivers, then hit ctrl+alt+f1, log in, cd to where the .sh file is, type "sh *.sh', then go thru the steps [05:31] nice [05:31] if the sh file complains about x being running, type "startx", it will mention some file in /tmp, rm it [05:31] is there a way to get firefox nightly builds? [05:31] then try again [05:32] in .deb [05:32] can someone help me please? [05:32] user__, dont think so, but why not just build it?

[05:37] LOL wtf is this guy doing http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2008/11/funniest_video_ever.php [05:37] Rave1_, u only need swap if <1GB [05:37] imo [05:37] sug1: stay on topic [05:37] sunapi386, ** [05:37] Rave1_: you need swap > RAM in order to suspend to disk [05:37] tritium probly no [05:38] tritium: me? [05:38] sug1: no, sorry. That was intended for sunapi386. [05:38] ;p [05:39] OK thanks first time I have had over 1 gb to use [05:39] i run 2 and 3GB systems [05:39] and they run flawlessly with no swap [05:40] Rave1_: if it were a laptop, you'd probably want swap so you could hibernate it. [05:40] Rave1_, if you run out of physical RAM, you'd need the swap space; otherwise, the kernel would start killing processes until there's some free memory. [05:40] just bought this computer played with visa 5min and started to install ubuntu [05:41] it is a desktop [05:41] hibernating is silly IMO\ [05:41] boot time is nothing === espacious_ is now known as asdas [05:41] ccfreak2k, when does that ever happen? i once built wine and something else at the same time and didnt run out of ram.. [05:42] raven, depends on your computer. [05:42] And what you're running. [05:42] 3gibz, compiz, gnome, themes, music, weather applet.. [05:42] if you get firefox nightly build from here http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/ - it's allready installed, just unpack and execute [05:42] and arbitrary compiling [05:42] :p [05:42] I'm saying it CAN happen, and it actually did on one of my servers. [05:43] Hi All!! After installing Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 firefox connected to the internet via my ADSL router modem, after I installed VBox and configured Host Interfaces for guest OS XP, Ubuntu doesn't see the internet, however, my VBox Windows XP guest surfs ok. I'm confused, does anyone know how to solve this?? [05:43] Another Newbie [05:43] Actually, it didn't so much run out of RAM as the disk cache took up around 3 of 4GB of RAM. [05:43] SpideySpirit, wht happens when u close the vbox? === asdas is now known as espacious [05:44] still no access, both b4 & after [05:44] grrrrrrrrrrr, upgraded this thing from 710 to 804 and no audio...mtherfkr [05:44] SpideySpirit, no idea. [05:44] sgraham, try 810? [05:44] dell inspiron 1420 [05:44] sgraham: careful with the language [05:44] wellI will Never use wine or such and I am not really much on compiz either .Fairly lowexpectectation user [05:44] tritium: it's oh kay. :D [05:44] i love wine AND compiz [05:45] and combining them.. [05:45] ya raven ive heard alot of bad things about that version on this machine [05:45] sgraham, duno. [05:45] it has several perpriatery drivers for it..videocard [05:45] fuck [05:45] sgraham, u cud try getting rid of pulseaudio, it sucks on 804 [05:45] Wine is pretty ok, but IME tends to be hit-or-miss as far as if a given program will actually run acceptably.

In addition to a numeric argument, you can specify "saved". [05:55] Hi is it possible to see history command with time stamp ? [05:55] I have exported HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %T " [05:55] and now see that all the previous commands in history showing with today's timestamp [05:55] Is it possible to show actual time stamp ?

[05:56] * Elda likes the command kdesu ;_; [05:56] Elda: yes [05:56] it worked here but idk what to put [05:56] it says # on /dev/sdb1 for my windows xp pro [05:57] DiiPhantom: bear in mind that Elda is used to an inferior DE so the commands suggested are likely to be less than ideal ;p [05:58] ffs, the only problem photoshop had were the windows fonts. [05:58] pepperjack: wat do i put? [05:58] that didnt do it..this blows [05:58] Bah.... and pepperjack is a troll >.> [05:58] just curious.. is there any work being done on delta deb upgrades?? [05:58] sgraham, sorry to hear tat [05:58] sgraham, :/ [05:59] He's emo as I like my laptop and thus used it for my games ;) [05:59] DiiPhantom: so in menu.lst each title entry is one entry starting counting at 0 so the first ubuntu entry is 0 the second is 1 and so on you need to count down to the xp entry and then default 4 or whatever [05:59] omg! thank you! [05:59] lol [05:59] Elda: im not ashamed to be emo [06:00] DiiPhantom: that number will change (increase) as kernel updates are installed, which is why I recommended the "saved" option instead. [06:00] :P [06:00] idk wat u mean wish "saved" [06:00] webcam works though thats amazing that they got that right. [06:00] pepperjack, though I've yet to figure out what you mean by DE >.> [06:00] Ah nm [06:01] DiiPhantom: please use English words to communicate. The "saved" option is described in /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:01] Desktop environment [06:01] * raven pokes the emo with a stick [06:01] Elda: we have a 'special' room for kde users you know :) [06:01] Bleh well I'm using Ubuntu atm, as I can't stand kde 4 [06:02] DiiPhantom: long term what tritium says is correct [06:02] anybody else having massive problems with the latest kernel install? [06:02] no? [06:02] http://pastebin.ca/1261162 [06:02] I just like kdesu, as it references a fun anime speech reference xD [06:02] i ran aptitude upgrade and it puked and died on me :( [06:02] Elda, yeah kde4 really broke the KDE pattern [06:02] i liked KDE3 a lot [06:02] .. [06:02] i rebooted and now my onboard wireless card and graphics card for my laptop don't work :( [06:03] The way they handled the desktop kind of bugged me [06:03] I like having a desktop that's actually my desktop [06:03] i'm stuck at 800x600 resolution and no wifi ;.; [06:03] to better understand you tritium, do you mean to put savedefault 4? [06:03] gradin: looks like your linux-restricted-modules didn't configure. Please run "sudo dpkg --configure --pending" [06:03] gradin, reinstall graphics drivers or re-edit xorg.conf, then reinstall wifi driver [06:03] instead of default 4? [06:03] 4 is the option i want [06:03] alot of things support the idea that the users get removed from the audio group. but..well i dont see an audio group on this box... [06:03] DiiPhantom: no, I'm suggesting you use the "saved" option [06:03] gradin, go with what tritium said, he knows more [06:03] :p [06:03] bout ubuntu [06:04] wootoff today [06:04] woot? [06:04] raven: nah, just trying to help [06:04] i wasnt being sarcastic [06:04] I know. [06:04] hi when trying to instal samba and wine i get a few errors that the required files could not be found on the server, i pasted them here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/74171/ ... ideas? [06:04] raven, woot.com [06:04] what you are saying doesnt make sense to me [06:05] ya i just looked at the /etc/passwd file and there is no audio group. how the hell dows that happen? [06:05] tritium: http://pastebin.ca/1261165 [06:05] DiiPhantom: please read the description in /boot/grub/menu.lst. It's described there. [06:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/74172/ [06:05] grrrrrrrrr i cant add myself to a group that does not exist. [06:05] thats what i see [06:06] gradin: please try "sudo apt-get -f install" now [06:06] sgraham, but u CAN make a group exist [06:06] DiiPhantom: correct. Now, read it. [06:06] :p === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak [06:06] so my question is, instead of the 0, is that where you are telling me to put saved? [06:06] omg [06:06] sgraham: that would be difficult [06:06] DiiPhantom: focus on lines 5 and 6 [06:07] i dont get it.... i can put saved but then how does it know that #4 is my saved? [06:08] sgraham: the audio group would be listed in /etc/group [06:08] guys any one used gnome here [06:08] well yess i can create a groupe but i really dont....hold on [06:08] sgraham: it should be created already [06:08] transporter: most everyone here is using gnome :) [06:08] Can I run a program with a different GTK theme? [06:08] I'd like to run just OO applications with the default Human theme [06:09] that would be somewhat different than what im use to..sorry hold on [06:09] DiiPhantom: when you boot, in grub, you can save the default [06:09] tritium: http://pastebin.ca/1261166 [06:09] k meet me in private chat pepperjack [06:09] not me im in fbsd using flux atm [06:09] crap, audio group does exist and i am in it. [06:09] grrrrrrrrr [06:10] gradin: Please run "sudo dpkg --configure --pending" once again [06:10] sgraham: as expected [06:10] sgraham, try alsa instead of esound? [06:10] sgraham, ru sure its not the driver? [06:11] raven i have no idea what the problem is. This machine i got with ubuntu preinstalled. so as far has how to troubleshoot the problem...im just lost. [06:11] why doesn't it play continuously whn i play a youtube video in firefox? [06:11] sgraham: start here: [06:11] !sound [06:11] 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 [06:12] sgraham, if all else fails, using 8.10 instead of 8.04 wud let us help u more easily.. [06:12] Is there a way to schedule muting alsamixer at different times of the day? [06:12] well, it wud help ME help u [06:12] cant speak for others [06:12] there is no volume control. it just errors and says "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." [06:12] driver problem then [06:12] %dict wud [06:12] fus10nx: the `at` command for example or a cron job [06:12] tritium: http://pastebin.ca/1261168 [06:13] sgraham, type lspci and pastebin the contents for us [06:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/74176/ [06:14] gradin: not sure, then [06:14] :( [06:14] anyway i can go back to how i had it before? [06:15] raven you get that past address ok? [06:16] sgraham, 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) [06:16] yeah [06:16] why doesn't it play continuously whn i play a youtube video in firefox?how can i fix this? [06:16] intel stuff should work out of the box pretty easy on ubuntu [06:16] gradin: can you run "sudo update-grub" successfully? [06:16] were i in ur shoes, i'd upgrade to 8.10, but i'm not an expert. [06:16] tritium: no [06:16] if u do want to do that, i believe sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:17] is wut u wud run [06:17] tritium: sudo aptitude --reinstall update-grub? [06:17] gradin: no [06:17] I have a Compaq Presario SG3370IL Desktop. Its panel has inbuilt speakers. I find that whenever I plug in my headphones, the sound comes out of both the inbuilt speakers and the headphones instead of just the headphones. I am using Ubuntu 8.04. I googled to no avail. Please give me a pointer to solve this problem. [06:18] this thing is pretty picky, allot of the pacages for the hardware come from repos at dell. [06:18] that COULD be ur problem :/ [06:18] hehe [06:19] sooo...im leary of upgrading it to an unsupported version and 810 at this point 810 is unsupported by them. [06:19] but u cud just as easily add those repos to a newer v. of ubuntu [06:19] sgraham, thats up to u mate, do what u think is best [06:19] im just throwing my 2 cents in [06:19] tritium: so... [06:20] gradin: I'm out of ideas. Looks like update-grub is what's failing, preventing one of the packages from being configured properly [06:20] ya, i use this thing for allot of work. Im getting quezy about having it non functional just for the past hour honestly. [06:20] How to download scim-make-table source? [06:20] tritium: line 1413 reads cat $menu.new > $menu [06:20] gradin: yes, I looked at it already [06:21] gradin: is your /boot partition full, by chance? [06:21] Anyone? [06:21] Im allot more comfortable with the straight up debian distro. I know how to compile mods and stuff using module-assisant this buntu stuff just confusses me alot. [06:21] tritium: uh i don't think so... [06:21] tritium: wubi install [06:22] Anyone know why mouse keys get reenabled every time I reboot? [06:22] sgraham: ubuntu also has module-assistant [06:22] versatilis, there may be a better fix for u, but u cud goto a onsole and use alsamixer to turn down the speaker or headphone depending on wut ur using (or right click the volume nd open volume control for gui) [06:22] They are quite annoying -- I like using the number pad === Elda is now known as Elda|Sleeptime [06:22] * tritium notes the strange use of the non-word "allot" [06:22] tritium: so it doesn't show on df -h [06:23] tritium: is there another way to check? [06:23] gradin: I've never used wubi, as I don't use windows at all. [06:23] raven, I have already tried that..this problem is similar to the problem I faced on 7.10 on a compaq C700 laptop. I think the alsa drivers are culprit. [06:23] tritium: nessacary evil in this case... ubuntu sucks asfar as network manager goes... [06:24] gradin: in what respect? network-manager works fine in my experience [06:24] ok your missing the point, i really dont know where to begin with this simply beacuse i was not there at the beginning. it came...out o the box with this installed...nevermind.. ill just start with ground 0 and work my way up [06:24] tritium: ... it forgets valid keys, and doesn't like some networks [06:24] why doesn't it play continuously whn i play a youtube video in firefox?how can i fix this? [06:24] thanks for the help guys [06:25] tritium: but now that my kernel is screwed i'm probably just gonna have to remove the install from windows and then reinstall... :( [06:25] does anyone know about the management software Landscape? [06:25] gradin, u can replace a kernel pretty ez [06:25] anyone using using intrepid 64bit? the title of the windows disapear? [06:25] gradin: what release are you running? [06:26] raven: its not just the kernel... its the modules and the restricted drivers aswell [06:26] yeh.. might as well reinst then [06:26] :p [06:26] tritium: 8.04 === bruno is now known as Guest54102 [06:27] see here is what im talking about [06:27] modprobe snd-hda-intel [06:27] WARNING: Error inserting snd_hda_codec (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/updates/snd-hda-codec.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [06:27] FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/updates/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [06:27] sgraham: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:27] * gradin crys cuz hes gonna have to recompile the 802.11eee network stack again for the usb wireless [06:27] can someone tell me the basics of gnome plz [06:27] sgraham: dmesg | tail [06:28] raven, will compiling the newest alsa drivers solve the problem? Or should I ask in some other channel? [06:28] transporter: point and click [06:28] nice advice [06:28] but [06:28] versatilis, someone else here may well b able to help u, but i cant [06:28] i mean application themes [06:28] changing the borders and the look how do i do it [06:29] !landscape [06:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about landscape [06:29] and how to i tell that gnome is already installed on my sys [06:29] u can change the rest with super+n, transporter xD [06:29] how do i download themes for my sys' [06:29] raven, I asked in ubuntu forums but I got no answer. [06:29] transporter, gnome-look.org [06:29] super+n???? [06:29] it was a joke, but yeah [06:29] gradin: very odd. I have 8.04 on my laptop. No recent kernel updates, and no problems with the last kernel update. [06:29] windows key + n [06:29] oh [06:29] ;p [06:29] raven the last errors say nothing but i here is the snd card info i think you want http://paste.ubuntu.com/74179/ [06:29] please tell me why firefox no longer will load. It opens in the task bar and then quits. I had a similar problem with skype after i installed uim. [06:30] yes i have registered in for gnome-look.org [06:30] just click download that's it [06:30] the point is...come on its broke. and they said because someone upgraded to 810 and it fixed it there closeing the ticket? [06:30] tritium: what arch? [06:30] hi all [06:30] gradin: i386 [06:30] tritium: i'm amd64 [06:30] sgraham, i strongly suggest u at least replace ur sound drivers, as these seem to suck, but i still say upgrade to 8.10 [06:31] gradin: have you looked to see if there is a bug filed against it? [06:31] replace them with what? [06:31] tritium: yeah i couldn't find anything [06:31] sgraham: did you try the advice on the wiki page I provided you? [06:31] tritium: and even then it takes 6 months to get a reply on a bug filed... [06:32] i believe so. what was it again? [06:32] !sound | sgraham [06:32] sgraham: 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 [06:32] gradin: Sorry, I have to go now. Good luck. [06:32] anyone used BSD in here [06:32] good nitetritium [06:32] mmm [06:32] is there any bash script to shutdown ubuntu when network is down? [06:32] clinthexa, i has used bsd [06:32] thank god raven :) [06:33] alright, ciao! [06:33] reinstall time... sometimes i really hate linux... :( [06:33] tritium: do you use gnome or kde? [06:33] clinthexa, i used freebsd, and OSX which is based on BSD === Mustinet is now known as Guest45083 [06:33] lvzimmer: gnome [06:33] how could I set that automount allow the read to all the user of the system when it mounts a usbdrive ? [06:33] i ve just installed 7.0 on this very old laptop raven [06:33] treilaninhehehe [06:33] clinthexa: good night [06:34] same to you tritium [06:34] clinthexa, there IS a ##bsd u know, and probably a #bsd [06:34] er [06:34] #freebsd* [06:34] yeah i did go ther raven and no one is saying anything [06:34] Good night, gradin. [06:34] tritium: do you see the title and the buttons on the top of you windows? [06:34] i have ubuntu running on other desktop also [06:34] that is the way of the bsd ppl lol [06:34] lol [06:34] yeah its freaking weird [06:34] :p [06:35] lvzimmer: yes, and good night [06:35] tritium: nini [06:35] i liked bsd, but it's program availability is dwarfed by linux [06:35] is there any bash script to shutdown ubuntu when network is down? [06:35] i tried installing ubuntu on this laptop [06:35] and its wine support comparatively blows [06:35] yeah i agree with with you Raven [06:35] raven, is ELF emulation not enough? [06:35] i just find out that ubuntu has an os for mini laptop [06:35] Im now at the point were it wants me to install alsa drivers manually [06:36] ccfreak2k, its nice, but no, it isnt :p [06:36] tritium: good night [06:36] brb ... raven [06:36] I've never actually used it, but I had heard that it works very well. [06:36] for ordinary apps [06:36] but say, for example, hamachi [06:36] doesnt work. [06:37] So it would probably be better to say, "some programs work in Linux but not in BSD." [06:37] teamwiever or etc. for ubuntu ? [06:37] Can anybody recommend a good program for editing HTML, CSS, and PHP in Ubuntu? [06:37] ccfreak2k, better than how i put it? opinions opinions.. [06:37] Conexion: gedit [06:37] brb. [06:37] I'd say so. [06:37] seronis: Thanks :) [06:38] Ha, oh would you look at that... Didn't even see that one [06:39] Conexion, or bluefish, my favorite [06:39] What advantages does bluefish have? [06:40] it's an html editor, tags, etc. gedit is good for syntax highlighting [06:40] I am trying speech-dispatcher. When I run "spd-say hello" it is silent. Its not displaying any error message. [06:40] Ah, cool. I'll try both :) [06:40] Syntax highlighting is a nice thing to have, [06:40] Thanks [06:40] True [06:41] heh. at the minimum [06:41] Magnify + Rotate Cube looks funny :P [06:42] of course, for all of it including php eclipse is pretty nice: if your machine is reasonably powerful thatis [06:42] I think i found the cure [06:42] but this is lame.. [06:42] http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04/Issues/No_Sound_After_Distribution_Or_Kernel_Upgrade [06:43] sgraham, that problem plagues a lot of laptops with Conexant modems I think. [06:43] Or Intel sound or something. [06:43] It's a specific problem. [06:43] if I run tzselect and select my time zone then ntpdate it still defaults to East Coast AMerican time [06:43] any ideas? [06:43] I am trying speech-dispatcher. When I run "spd-say hello" it is silent. Its not displaying any error message. [06:44] fus10nx, try using the clock application to set it. right click the date/clock [06:44] i dont see my splash screen at boot..if i try usplash my screen goes blank [06:44] fus10nx, u hav to tell it a diff time server i think.. i THINK... [06:44] nevermind [06:44] dpkg-reconfigure tzdata [06:44] that did it [06:44] alt+ctrl+del doesnt seem to work then as well all i see is a blank screen [06:45] Did you try ctrl + alt + backspace ? [06:45] how do i get linux on ubuntu? [06:45] * raven hugs Cann0n [06:45] it will be ok [06:45] ubuntu is linux [06:45] Cann0n: ubuntu is linux [06:45] cann0n: do u mean text base? [06:45] is there some kind of ubuntu newbie chat I could go to ? [06:45] them what is fadora [06:46] OpenPsycho, try editing /boot/grub/menu.lst , and removing the word splash from the line # defoptions=quiet splash , then run sudo update-grub . That will remove all splash. [06:46] Cann0n, it is also linux [06:46] Cann0n: fedora [06:46] cann0n: is linux tooo.. diffrent distributer. [06:46] hellotyler, this is the place ;) [06:46] i dont get it [06:46] Cann0n, give it time :p [06:46] oh [06:46] where do you turn off the use of state decorations for tasks in gnome-panel? [06:46] whats up [06:47] Cann0n, GNU/linux is the combination of the linux kernel and all the other software; each distro uses linux and a selection of gnu (and other) software [06:47] not much,rusty [06:47] ok so what is a kernal === rusty is now known as Guest50978 [06:47] cann0n: for example.. if linux is windows... then fedora and ubuntu is like win2k server and winXP.. something like tat [06:47] i have a noob question [06:47] nickrud, that will remove all the splashes but i want to see splash screen [06:47] i'm virtualizing ubuntu, it seems like a nice OS so far [06:47] what i see at my boot is init image not found bla bla bla [06:47] What's up Guest50978?

[06:56] trying to add my music library to amarok [06:57] Cann0n, of course Slackware i better [06:57] this is if you are using it as a desktop or simply as a spring board into learning about Linux [06:57] it runs better and less bloat [06:57] hellotyler, which virtualization? [06:57] VMWare [06:57] Cann0n: if you just learn linux.ubuntu would be the best choise... since slackware would take a lot of work just to set up startX...

They've ballooned to 7+ gigs, and I have 0% free left in my root directory, so I'm starting to run into trouble opening/writing to permission files and am afraid that if I reboot the system without any free space I won't be able to get into GDE... details at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6208971 [07:01] Anyone able to point me in a few areas? [07:01] nothing there unfortunately, nick [07:01] Does anyone know a good site to get a shell for IRSSI in ubuntu?

AR2413 802.11bg NIC (rev 01) [08:09] Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) - so i think the atheros is the wireless controller (when in use) and realtek is what i'm using right now [08:09] binarymutant: don't know - ask the guys in launchpad [08:09] but i could be wrong [08:09] whoa sorry for huge paste [08:09] rand0mabo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:17] hateball, thanks. [08:18] ok, problem solve! maybe some glitch just now [08:18] My upload is 7K now instead of like 1M which is caused by my laptop, since another computer connected to the same network is doing 4M right now... [08:19] hateball: I don't think it shows the USB drive [08:19] Bojour [08:19] how do i open port in transmission, it says port is close and the speed is very slow [08:19] steven__╸ You pick the device to change in the upper right corner. Make sure you launch it with superuser rights [08:20] aznan, firewall [08:20] steven__╸ Note you also have to unmount the drive before doing certain operations on it.

[08:21] while in hardy, i used deluge [08:21] aznan¬ if you havent played with any firewall settings and are using stock install you shouldnt need to change anything [08:22] unless something has drastically changed in .10 [08:22] loooooooooooool i just have done something real stupid there was a download for ubuntu, mandriva ... etc and i downloaded and tried to install for "debian" i just hvent read the ubuntu and that there was a "debian etch" stupid [08:22] hateball: thanks. that was it!!

(I'm testing out Gears (google gears).) [08:29] couo17_anedis [08:29] I'm running Netbeans 6.0.1 (package maintainer version) on two separate but similarly-configured Ubuntu 8.04.1 machines. One appears to be integrated with my GNOME desktop using GTK+ controls and the other appears to be using "Java-esque" controls. Any idea why? [08:29] I'm not really a fan of the Java look-and-feel and would like to have the second one look like it does on the other machine... [08:30] exit [08:31] what command can i give my computer to make it go offline (from the internet)? [08:31] Hi all. :-) [08:31] my comp currently has wired internet connection [08:32] Win2Ubuntu: hi you. [08:32] Just having a bit of a play, probably not a very important question, but how do i go about using desklets [08:32] jeancalvin╸ Are you using networkmanager? Do you still want to have LAN access? [08:33] hateball: this is just to test out Google gears, so i need to get online access after about 2 minutes of testing things out offline. Yes, I think I'm using networkmanager, or whatever comes by default in ubuntu 8.10 [08:34] jeancalvin╸ Well you can just rightclick the icon in the tray and untick "Enable network" :) [08:34] hateball: oh, yeah.

[08:53] Kartagis: gparted if you want gui [08:53] its translated to my language, but ye, i think its the update manager, its in systray and it tells me when there is a new update, jim_p [08:53] jim_p, Thanks (the book said: I should start the script with the bs -command, .. however it s not part of my distribution and apt doesent find it). Well i ll go about it some other way, thx! [08:53] jim_p, no, but i follow fix guide here : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/audio_intel_hda ;) [08:53] how can i tell if a file is executable?

[08:55] phantomcircuit: kill PID [08:55] Myrtti: also try ls -l and see if it has a +x [08:55] isnt aufs should work automatically? for example linpus format and automount SD card if inserted to slot in this aspire one laptop. and in ubuntu aufs even isnt running by default... [08:55] exaile can't find my gobject file for some reason, any way to replace said file? [08:55] xjkx: the update manager is a simple frontend to apt [08:55] k [08:55] jim_p: yes. and, the operation being done is apt-get upgrade right ? [08:55] nicku, i did `sudo kill -9 13817` did nothing [08:56] xjkx: yes, when you tell it to upgrade [08:56] does anyone know how can i disable the appearence of custom smileys sent from other contacts in pidgin (msn protocol)?

[09:00] salve a tutti === f__ is now known as mr [09:00] somebody ever installed vspdl its a virtualserial device driver. i cant seem to install it on ubuntu 8.10 there are several errors some of them were fast fixed but now i hang on compiling the kernel modules [09:00] ChrisW: metacity. what do you mean by different [09:00] http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/3021 hmm seems the gcc on ubuntu doesn't like itself [09:00] so ubuntu generate random events in ~30% of cases of pressing right-mouse button, LOL? [09:00] :D === mr is now known as Guest28499 [09:01] Typical. I got disconnected. === Guest28499 is now known as popo [09:01] jim_p: well, on my desktop, under vmware, it behaves as I'd expect, with windows and the like. On my laptop (much smaller screen) under virtualbox, I just seem to get tabs down the elft for each window, and each window takes up the rest of the desktop space [09:01] Did anyone respond to my question? [09:01] hello [09:01] You know how Windows Servers have something called a "domain controller"? What's the equivalent in the Linux world? [09:02] ScaryGary8460: sorry im to scared to respond [09:02] ChrisW: can you set the inside vbox resolution? [09:02] Kira╸ Depends. You can have NFS for sharing files, and LDAP for authentication [09:02] humancat: I'm really not that scary.. It's just a nickname i picked up shooting pool. [09:02] :D [09:02] Hi... is there a way to downgrade to 8.04.1 from 8.10? [09:03] jim_p: yep, but I'm just wondering if it's *supposed* to behave differently [09:03] any know? How to limit/forbid user access firefox? [09:03] ChrisW: no :( [09:03] Kira: if you want a domain controller, run samba [09:03] lol, I did it and said this: Codec: Realtek ALC660-VD and Codec: Motorola Si3054 [09:03] does anyone know where one can find packages of the nvidia drivers (proprietary, not free) for kernel 2.6.24-19-rt and Ubuntu 8.10? I can't run .27, it's incredibly unstable on my computer. [09:03] jim_p: ah wait... if I select the "mobile desktop" option in the installer, would that give me a different window manager? [09:04] ciao a tutto #ubuntu [09:04] and there doesn't seem to be kernel-headers for 2.6.24-19-rt either, so I can't build nvidia-kernel from source! :/ [09:04] ChrisW: no. you can install openbox, which is ligter, and set openbox to be used in gnome [09:04] lighter and smaller [09:05] jim_p: ah yeah, but I'm guessing selecting the "mobile desktop" thingy in the installer is what did it, it sounded like it was aimed at laptops... [09:05] Josesordo: thanks a lot. this is tons of info [09:05] ChrisW: If I understand correctly, Samba pretty much ports the Windows domain controller protocol to Linux. But other than Samba, does Linux usually have its own equivalent/parallel of the Windows domain controller? [09:05] How to install drirve for this: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5418 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) madwifi doesnt work T_T [09:05] ChrisW: i think that this option installs all sorts of junk like gspa drivers and so on [09:05] anyway, more important question: does the default window manager have a "right-click-shell-here" lurking somewhere in the file browser? [09:06] * ChrisW wonders what a gspa driver is :-S [09:06] ChrisW: there is a package named nautilus-terminal... i think. install it [09:07] Kira: depends what you want to do... [09:07] ChrisW: the name is nautilus-open-terminal [09:07] Josesordo: give me a sec ok? [09:07] jim_p: thanks :-) I assume that'll be in applications -> add/remove [09:07] anyone used a PEAP enable network in 8.10 ? I cannot setup my laptop [09:07] ChrisW: lol open a terminal and apt-get install it! [09:08] Josesordo: load the ath5k module and you are done [09:08] hi. i am trying to get a raid5 running using the ICP GDT8546RZ for two days now... [09:08] Josesordo: are you on 8.10? [09:08] and i am near to give up [09:08] jim_p: well, that brings me to another question... this is my first experience with *desktop* linux, does that add-remove programs menu work with the same resources as apt-get? (and does ubuntu have aptitude?) [09:08] how can i put static ip to ubuntu 8.10? [09:09] both 8.04 and 8.10 will install fine but produce errors after the first boot [09:09] ChrisW: add/remove is a stupid app. use synaptic and apt-get/aptitude in terminal if you want [09:09] anyone knows the problem or any idea what i could try [09:09] that's not what I asked ;-) [09:10] anyone from Portugal? [09:10] if I use add/remove, will it interact badly with synaptic or aptitude? [09:10] !pt | nS-Sardin3s-Scho [09:10] nS-Sardin3s-Scho: Por favor use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [09:11] ChrisW, no [09:11] Ientzy: remove network manager not to mess with it, and go to networ-admin and do the rest [09:11] Ientzy: sudo network-admin [09:11] not me , sorry [09:11] ChrisW: it is just a frontend [09:12] does thsi even work ? http://www.irishsilicon.com/2008/11/peap-wifi-ubuntu-810-intrrepid.html [09:13] Kengine: i guess it will. it removes 3 modules and loads 2, so i suspect there is some conflict with the wl module [09:14] jim_p: this PEAP thing in school network is really bugging me, I am gonna check this first thing tomorrow at school [09:14] lot of students are suffering in other schools [09:14] too [09:15] Kengine: save them! [09:15] Why has FireFox in Ubuntu stopped saving pictures when I tell it to? I tell it to save a picture, or a website, and it doesn't create any files.. [09:15] did I reach some kind of file limit? [09:15] did it take away my permission to create files? [09:16] I saved a text file. [09:16] nicku: thanks [09:16] jim_p: so once the NetworkManager starts connecting I run the three commands right ? [09:16] I see icons to launch firefox and a mail app on the top bar, how can I add an icon there to launch a shell? [09:16] Also, all the thumbnails of the images in my file folders won't load... [09:16] does anyone know where one can find packages of the nvidia drivers (proprietary, not free) for kernel 2.6.24-19-rt and Ubuntu 8.10? I can't run .27, it's incredibly unstable on my computer. [09:16] and there doesn't seem to be kernel-headers for 2.6.24-19-rt either, so I can't build nvidia-kernel from source! :/ [09:17] ChrisW, right click add to panel [09:17] Kengine: can you disable network manager to have more success? if yes, please do [09:17] I think something seriously bad happened, but I don't understand what or how... [09:17] I expect this kind of thing in Windows. I didn't think Linux could so easily accidentally screw up like this from normal use... [09:19] peppo: cant you install the 2.6.16-19 headers? [09:19] Chaotic_Descent: linux is also made by humans.. humans do make mistakes too [09:19] *2.6.26 [09:19] I can copy image files... the thumbnails still won't load from them, even after I load the image. [09:19] grrrrrr [09:19] peppo: cant you install the 2.6.24-19 headers? [09:19] nicku: I know... this is just... really really messed up and not supposed to happen. [09:19] Chaotic_Descent: remove ff and reinstall it [09:20] jim_p, doesn't seem to be enough. seems it wants the -rt header package too [09:20] I'm not sure it's a FireFox problem... since there seems to be something wrong with my files to begin with. [09:21] peppo: I'm guessing the answer is no given your repeated asking and lack of response [09:21] what handles image thumbnails in the file browser? [09:21] peppo: wait [09:21] is that uh... Gnome? [09:21] bazhang: yeah, I did that, but no sign of shell in the list of addables, ideas? [09:21] Chaotic_Descent: the file browser itself [09:22] Chaotic_Descent: install pcmanfm and see if you have thumbnails in it [09:22] ... oh god. how do I fix Ubuntu's file browser if it breaks? :S [09:23] ChrisW, choose application launcher then click forward and choose from accessories [09:23] OMG! =\ so, a complete uninstall of firefox removes all bookmarks? === jim_p is now known as jim_p-afk [09:23] thanks, got it [09:24] ... I don't think pcmanfm is installing correctly... it's just sitting there with the circle wait cursor... [09:24] I think I broke Ubuntu. [09:25] Hello. I migrated an old installation of mysql by replacing the /var/lib/mysql directory with the old one after installing. Now when I try to upgrade the server, Ubuntu is complaining that the debian-sys-maintenence account doesn't work, because I replaced the user tables and the password is different. Where can I look up what password ubuntu is using, so that I can update the mysql server? [09:25] by browsing the internet and attempting to save pictures and web pages. :P [09:26] I logged out when I first noticed serious problems, but apparently I have to use the Windows tactic of rebooting. [09:26] noone knows the icp gdt 8546 ? [09:27] hi [09:27] im thinking about moving from vista to ubuntu [09:27] Good idea! [09:27] i miss the comiz fusion effects [09:29] certain files still won't load their thumbnails after rebooting... what was that file browser I was supposed to install? [09:30] questyion: is there any partition manager tool in ubuntu8.10? [09:30] pcman file manager I think. [09:30] phoenix_, gparted is one [09:30] sorry, I was answering myself. [09:32] ok, PCMAN can view the thumbnails that my regular file browser won't load (and just gets that clock icon for all files instead) [09:33] kindofabuzz: i mean graphical partition manager not on terminal [09:33] phoenix_, gparted [09:34] ... oh. this is nice. my FireFox bookmarks are gone. [09:34] W-T-F... === b_ is now known as catty [09:35] ... is my HD failing? what is going on? [09:36] huh... firefox won't even open the file window to save images any more... [09:36] how do I get color codes to work in urxvt? [09:37] kindofabuzz: thnx [09:38] when i open the network tools, and try to click "configure", it reports: "the interface does not exist", although it clearly does (and i am using it!). Any ideas? [09:38] why is this "tracker" app's icon flashing beside my update icon?? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH MY COMPUTER?! [09:39] It's going haywire! [09:39] hey [09:40] Is it possible to run vista from ubuntu [09:40] hmm gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst brings up nothing.. something is wrong with mine too! =) [09:40] oblitera: with virtualbox [09:40] ok back === jim_p-afk is now known as jim_p [09:41] is my Ubuntu somehow being hacked? [09:41] Chaotic_Descent: by who? [09:41] fosco_: should i install ubuntu 32bit or will 64bit work with virtual box [09:41] ... I don't know. [09:42] oblitera: whatever you want [09:42] now the tracker's idle. I've never even heard of the tracker before now. [09:43] the tracker had 2 somethings going on... but when I opened it, it didn't show anything... [09:43] Chaotic_Descent: you are not been hacked, disable tracker in syste, preferences - session if you don't need it [09:43] system - preferences - session [09:44] Chaotic_Descent, relax! open a terminal and type echo Relax! [09:44] #ubuntu-cn [09:45] fosco_: .... huh... looks like I can't open session settings. [09:45] it says starting sessions... and then it just disappears. [09:45] Ubuntu is totally screwed. [09:46] open a terminal, go to cd ~/.config/autostart [09:46] how do I find out if it's my HD or a software problem? [09:46] Chaotic_Descent, can you logout and login again? [09:46] an remove any reference to tracker [09:46] rm -f *track [09:46] rm -f *track* [09:46] Chaotic_Descent, run it from terminal to see errors [09:47] Chaotic_Descent╸ You can start gnome-session-properties from terminal to see errors [09:47] jim_p: I already rebooted and that didn't fix the problems. [09:47] does anyone know how can i disable the appearence of custom smileys sent from other contacts in pidgin (msn protocol)? [09:48] what good is changing my tracker settings if Ubuntu isn't running properly? [09:48] suddenly nautilus locks up when starting. no errors when starting from console. Any suggestions? [09:48] Bodsda: run what from a terminal? [09:49] Chaotic_Descent, try explaining the problem again [09:50] please help. it seems nautilus locks up when trying to display the files in my home dir. I've looked for suspicous files, but everything looks ok. [09:50] first I noticed FireFox wasn't saving HTML pages. then I noticed it wasn't saving images. [09:51] Chaotic_Descent, ok, how do you know that FF isnt saving pages? [09:51] then it started having problems loading web pages and it froze up when I tried to copy the URL to a link file. so I switched terminals even though I have no idea what to actually do in other terminals, and when I came back and lots of windows were glitched and missing contents. [09:51] Because I save "save page as" and hit enter and no files are created. same with image files. [09:51] anybody know any private torrent websites?? [09:52] Chaotic_Descent, ok, open a terminal and run 'firefox' then save a page -- is there any output in the terminal? [09:52] can it be that the new implementation of network-manager is bogus like hell??? [09:53] hi, i read somewhere that you need to restart ubuntu after installing "Mysql and Apache"... is that true ? [09:53] do terminal color codes work in the dwm status bar? [09:53] Bodsda: no window pops up when I click "save image as" so now I can't even attempt it. [09:53] Chaotic_Descent, reinstall FF [09:53] oh. error in the terminal. (firefox:32281): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: [09:53] Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. [09:54] Chaotic_Descent, not good -- try reinstalling FF [09:54] Bodsda: do I have to worry about my bookmark files? FireFox seems to have lost track of all of them just recently... [09:54] does anyone know how can i disable the appearence of custom smileys sent from other contacts in pidgin (msn protocol)? [09:55] Chaotic_Descent, yes, make a backup of them [09:55] Chaotic_Descent: full disk? [09:55] grab the FEBE extension for firefox, itll schedule a backup of your profile, or bits of it [09:55] Frogzoo: ... hm... I checked one partition but not the system partition... [09:56] Chaotic_Descent: nvm then [09:56] carpii: ooh nice [09:56] ... .... partition size... unknown. @_@; that's not good. [09:57] can mysql-server-5.0 not be installed on an ubuntu 8.04 liveCD ? I'm getting a permission denied stuff while installing it via sudo apt-get [09:57] ... why is the partition that Ubuntu is on of "unknown" size? [09:57] blip-: does the live have a writable /var? [09:58] ... it also seems to be unmounted... [09:58] blip-╸ mysql is pretty large... perhaps the RAM is full? [09:58] Chaotic_Descent: boot off a live cd & fsck [09:58] how can Ubuntu's partition be unmounted? [09:58] Frogzoo, yes writable with sudo, i was able to copy a file into it [09:58] hateball, got 4GB [09:58] What's fsck? [09:59] Chaotic_Descent: file system checker [09:59] Chaotic_Descent, man fsck, as the name may imply, file system check [09:59] Why does the init script snippet at http://rafb.net/p/6HYthF19.html throw all these errors: http://rafb.net/p/GxA7FZ45.html , but when I input the commands on the commandline everything's fine? [10:00] btw how come ubuntu liveCD doesn't give an option to copy to ram during boot ? is it that a distro specific thing ? [10:00] i have tons of errors in nm-connection-editor can someone help me with that pls? [10:01] blip-: sounds like it [10:01] !bug [10:01] 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 [10:02] MacGyverNL: initscripts are executed using dash, your users shell is mostlikely bash [10:02] MacGyverNL: that could be whats different [10:02] do I need to know anything else before I run the Ubuntu CD and run fsck? [10:03] does it matter that the Ubuntu CD I have is an old version? [10:03] Chaotic_Descent: nope [10:04] Chaotic_Descent, you've backed up right ? [10:04] Chaotic_Descent: run it on / as 'fsck -a /dev/sda#' [10:04] I've enabled the fancy 3D compiz style effects in Gnome and they are working fine. Is there an extra application I need to install to configure stuff like the 3D cube etc ? [10:04] backed up? no. I have nowhere to backup to. T_T; [10:04] Chaotic_Descent: yeah, best backup before you go there.. [10:05] Chaotic_Descent, then be careful before pressing yes or no if fsck prompts you, better yet run it in readonly mode first [10:05] daveStyle: yes, it's compizconfig-settings-manager [10:05] bimberi: you're a star [10:05] <_coredump_> moinsen [10:05] I hate backing up... I don't really know how... I remember the last time I tried to backup all my files it took weeks... [10:05] on intrepid xorg, is there an easy way to prevent (e.g. /dev/input/event5) from being grabbed as an input device? [10:05] I was burning files to discs. [10:05] X is stealing my IR remote away from lirc :( [10:06] daveStyle: np :) [10:06] Hello, I'm going to install an app (older version of jpilot). Install file says that I need to do "./configure" and then ""make" and then "make install". My question is, will doing those 3 steps start scattering files and bits into everywhere on my computer? Or will it just stay in one folder? [10:06] please help. what type of file in my home directory could cause nautilus to lock up!? [10:06] wait... do I have to backup if my files are on a different partition from the Ubuntu system? [10:06] jeancalvin: most likely the former. Try using checkinstall... [10:06] Chaotic_Descent, if you knew what happened to my machine you'd backup every day.... i've been trying to recover stuff from my /home partition for 3 weeks now.... i've lost several months of work..... get an external HDD and bacnup every few days... it's a 1 click thing after you set it up [10:07] !checkinstall | jeancalvin [10:07] jeancalvin: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [10:08] Ubuntu is the busiest channel.... whew!!! [10:08] !dh_help [10:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about dh_help [10:08] Chaotic_Descent, yes you have to... it may corrupt the partion table. the fastest backup you can do makes use of rsync and the gui front-end grsync..... it only copies over the new files to your backup device...so first time it will copy everything and take ages.... after that it's a few minutes [10:08] mgolisch: Seems the $HOSTNAME var is empty. [10:08] blip-: I've lost HDs before... I don't how to backup. plus I'm in debt this month so I can't afford another HD. [10:08] !IP [10:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about ip [10:08] !game [10:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about game [10:08] !games [10:08] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [10:08] !dh_help | shinoj [10:08] !.deb [10:08] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [10:09] Chaotic_Descent, so the real question is, can you afford to lose everything on your HDD right now ? Because this may happen in the worst scenario [10:09] bimberi: the app tar.gz comes with an "uninstall". does this mean it will completely uninstall everything it installs? [10:09] Chaotic_Descent, i know it's annoying and takes long.. but don't rush... i did and regretted it [10:09] jeancalvin: it's supposed to yes [10:09] how to use the 3G/UTMS feature of ubuntu 8.10? [10:09] blip-: ... so... I can't fix Ubuntu until I buy a new HD? T_T; [10:10] I just configure things in the network manager but it seems that it's not connecting [10:10] god I hate computers. [10:10] why does it have to be so complicated? why can't it EVER be simple? [10:10] ikonia: are you there? [10:10] Chaotic_Descent, it's your call the safety margin you want, try running fsck in *read-only* mode... that won't affect or damage anything [10:11] Chaotic_Descent: what is your problem? [10:11] remoteCTR1: on and off at the moment, what's up ? [10:11] oten? [10:11] ikonia: i have massive trouble with this nm-connection-editor [10:11] remoteCTR1 ok [10:11] shinoj: Ubuntu is messing up real bad and I'm being told I should backup my HD before I try to fix it. [10:12] ikonia: i cannot add a second nameserver because it throws an error window stating that this is read only [10:12] Chaotic_Descent always good advice [10:12] bimberi: that link you gave doesn't work. And I've just installed checkinstall. can you tell me how to create a deb now please? [10:12] Chaotic_Descent: what was the problem? [10:12] remoteCTR1 if the pannel is unlocked and it's being advertised as read only I'd log a bug on launchpad [10:12] remoteCTR1: you are using the gnome desktop too aren't you ?# [10:12] ikonia: and after all after having added a wireless connection MANUALLY as it dont seem to recon networks by itself anyxmore i have to manually add nameservers to resolv.conf cos otherwise my cable connectin wont work anymore [10:13] ikonia: gnome, yes, and there is nothing to unnlock it [10:13] remoteCTR1 is your dhcp server set to advertise name servers ? [10:13] ikonia: no unlock button as in hardy [10:13] jeancalvin: works here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall [10:13] ikonia: on the cable connection i dont have a name server its static and on wifi yes [10:14] remoteCTR1 so is the problem with the wired connection or the wirless [10:14] ikonia: as said the wifi works but the cable doesnt anymore after having added a wifi connection [10:15] remoteCTR1 interesting, are the cable and wifi networks on the same network [10:15] shinoj: problems opening apps like sessions settings or installing applications. can't save image files or web pages from firefox. can't view firefox bookmarks within firefox. can't see image thumbnails of specific files within the normal browser. (PCman seems to be able to though) system partition seems to be unmounted, of an unknown type and size. [10:15] #ubuntu-cn [10:15] ikonia: and after having added the nameservers manually in resolv.conf it works again [10:15] ikonia: nope but have the same dns [10:15] remoteCTR1 can you share the two ip addresses of the network [10:15] Does anybody have experience with the security webcam application "Motion", I'm just trying out the live webcam in a browser and in fire firefox I can view the live stream, but in internet explorer, it wants to save the file, or go online to find an application to open the file with, does anybody know of a solution for this so that an IE user could view the webcam stream generated from an Intrepid server? [10:16] well the one is 140.78.0.0 and the other is a 10.78.112.0 [10:16] Chaotic_Descent: try one thing, do reinstall ubuntu, without the format options. it doesnt deletes your preferences [10:16] Chaotic_Descent: it should solve the problems [10:16] remoteCTR1 how can they share the same name servers ? those ranges are massivly different, [10:16] how can I connect to my 3G internet with ubuntu 8.10 ??? [10:16] remoteCTR1: just trying to pickup a picture of what you've got [10:17] r2s ar eyou using a phone or a usb dongle [10:17] ikonia: usb dongle [10:17] ikonia: point is all of our university is well covered with wireless hotspots, so either you connect via cable in the office or outside the office with the uni wireless and then with vpn into the office [10:17] r2s: what netowkr ? [10:17] r2s: are you using using mobile phone? [10:17] I just don't know what the problem is. I'm worried I might make it worse. Like what if my HD is dying? [10:17] they say that It's easy to connect now in ubuntu 8.10 [10:17] r2s it is [10:17] ikonia: how? [10:17] remoteCTR1 seems a reasonable statment [10:17] using ZTE MF622 device [10:17] ikonia: office has private range and uni has public range [10:18] r2s: what network [10:18] Chaotic_Descent: its nothing related to hareware dying [10:18] ikonia: hehe thanks [10:18] Smart here in the philippines [10:18] I did "apt-get install foo" and terminal said the file needed foo1, foo2, foo3. After I "apt-get remove foo", how can I automatically remove its dependencies which were installed, without my having to call them by name? [10:18] ikonia: so how? [10:18] remoteCTR1: so the bottom line of the problem is that now that you have 2 networks defiend (not in use) your name server entry is read only for more than one dns server ? [10:18] r2s: plug it in, open network manager and select "mobile broadband services" [10:18] :) [10:19] ikonia: come again? [10:19] r2s: then cofnigure it as per your network provider [10:19] remoteCTR1: just trying to get a summary, you can't enter the dns servers second entry as it complains it's read only [10:19] jeancalvin: sudo apt-get autoremove [10:19] ikonia: already did in the Mobile Broadband settings in the Network Manager [10:20] r2s great, you should be good to go [10:20] r2s: click connect [10:20] ikonia: it used to be like this: if you have a wireless access point nearby the applet used to show that. now i have to manually set up a wifi connection in order to even HAVE a wifi applet, otherwise it doesnt show [10:20] ikonia: nope i cant [10:20] pidgin question: when I'm in a "/msg" tab with some other user and he types a message to me, I hear a beep. How can I hear a beep too in the main #ubuntu window? [10:20] remoteCTR1 I'd log a bug for that, that sounds like a genuine bug [10:20] ikonia: and after having set up the wifi manually all of a sudden the wired connection doesnt find a nameserver unless you manually enter it into resolv.conf [10:20] Hello, I am having a problem with the hardware drivers installing my nVidia driver [10:20] ikonia: no connect button [10:21] bimberi: thanks again!!! [10:21] ikonia: agree on that, will do so immediately [10:21] shinoj: it's not? it's just software? How did it screw up this terminally? some people are saying I could lose all the data on my HDD. should I be reinstalling or running fsck? [10:21] r2s: you click on the network manager applet in the trop right of the gnome desktop [10:21] ikonia: thanks for sharing your thoughts:) [10:21] I click activate , however it does nothing [10:21] jeancalvin: np, although I know little of pidgin sorry ;) [10:21] remoteCTR1: part of that senario I can understand (the blank name service) however I can't understand why your being allowed to get tot hat situation by network manager [10:22] ikonia: did that but the configure I made is not visible one Left-click... [10:22] r2s then you've not set it up properly in the mobile broad band, or you physical hardware device is not supported [10:22] ikonia: well there are several aspects that i dont quite get, for example why is the applet in prreferences now not in administration anymore, how am i supposed to edit settings if i am not being asked for credentials, etc [10:22] Is it possible to install the driver though apt-get ? [10:23] remoteCTR1 yes, the lack of unlock button concerns me [10:23] ikonia: somehow this new thing seems a little immature to me... [10:23] remoteCTR1: out of interest before you log the bog visit system->prefernces->networking and see if the info in there conflicts with the applet [10:23] s/bog/bug [10:24] ikonia: the info in there is correct i just cannot edit it [10:24] remoteCTR1 and you have no unlock button there eitehr [10:24] ikonia: if i start the nm-connection-editor via console it keeps throwing tons of errors [10:24] Hi. This happens about every second boot, with my special USB keyboard plugged in: http://pastie.org/318588 and the keyboard fails to work. Sometimes after waiting ~5 minutes it starts working however. Any ideas? [10:24] ikonia: definitely not [10:24] remoteCTR1 bug logging time [10:24] remoteCTR1: %100 [10:24] ikonia: aye! [10:25] hehe thanks buddy [10:25] no problem [10:25] Every time I restart my desktop is at 1024x768. How do I make nVidia X keep it at 1280x1024? [10:25] having a real pain in my ass with compiz w/gnome-terminal, it doesn't update/poll the window quite frequently, ii'm in vim, i open a new file or switch between vim file tabs and it just doesn't respond without moving the window, or quickly shifting workspaces back and forward, or some other poll trigger... it's very very annoying. [10:25] Every time I restart my desktop is at 1024x768. How do I make nVidia X keep it at 1280x1024 [10:27] must sleep. [10:27] how do I get dzen2 to stop flickering? [10:27] is there another channel for PPC ubuntu? [10:27] tackle failing computer tomorrow... [10:28] paynito #ubuntu-ppc [10:30] <|ntegra|> can someone explain to me how to use this sudo (as opposed to 'su root') properly please? I'm not sure I understand whats going on [10:31] |ntegra|: sudo command [10:31] nothing more [10:32] hi folks i am trying to set up x on a server and i am stuck, i managed to install fluxbox, can start it with startx too, but i cannot use the mouse or keyboard :( [10:33] #salmonix [10:33] <|ntegra|> I do that and I'm asked for my user password, that surprises me as I thought I'd be root to do these things? [10:33] |ntegra|: this is normal [10:34] no root password is required in ubuntu [10:36] <|ntegra|> ok, ubuntu is different to other linux distros right? (I've been starting (with live cd) as root, then 'adduser' etc then sudo-ing with root's password) [10:36] |ntegra|: ubuntu live cd doesn't log you in as root [10:36] morning [10:36] anyone here going to the ubuntu conference in london thursday? [10:36] |ntegra|: ubuntu is not different from other distros, other distros have sudo too, sudo is a generic unix application [10:36] haptiK: possible yes, and you acn discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:36] |ntegra|: ubuntu aspires to be easier to use so it assumes you are an administrator on a single user machine. hence the single password, called 'the user password' [10:37] can i discuss your mother in there too? [10:37] ah, hal and fam were missing [10:37] quitr [10:37] haptiK, that is not appropriate [10:37] haptiK that attitude is uncalled for [10:37] haptiK, fuck you [10:37] stefodnb, no need for that language [10:38] <|ntegra|> ok, thanx for the clarification, I've been using wolvix, slax, puppy, dsl, yoper, knoppix, it's been alot of fun [10:38] hmm [10:38] <|ntegra|> stefodnb: it's still hard to hack into though right?

[11:29] use the keys === Expect_ is now known as Sheller [11:29] arg i just got a quit message echo from pogztimz how do i get rid of that [11:30] i installed the pidgin plugin it has helped [11:30] hi, how can i debug dhcp? i tried to setup a dhcp server with firestarter, but that just doesnt do what it should === j is now known as Guest22060 [11:30] http://www.infexious.org/xdcc.php?xdcc=iNFEXiOUS%60Garbage# [11:30] powtrix. hah. Ok, yesterday, probably related, I couldnt use the keys either, when the screen went black (after X minutes). How can i fix this. Dont say reboot [11:30] sveri: What dhcp server? You can always check dmesg. [11:31] salmonix, in installed dhcp3-server and set it up with firestarter [11:33] sveri: Have you cehcked the config file, if set properly? [11:34] salmonix: dmesg just shows kernel messages, not useful for dhcp debugging [11:34] salmonix, config file looks ok for me [11:35] men haw can i configureta in detail dwl 520++ppoe? [11:35] sveri: /var/log/messages? [11:35] how do i make apt-get update not try and fail to download en_US translations [11:36] its kinda stupid [11:36] and it wastes my time [11:36] salmonix, the same as in dmesg a lot of inbound packages from a ip in my network [11:37] salmonix: is firestarter configured to allow dhcp traffic in and out? [11:37] ActionParsnip, how to do that? [11:37] !firestarter | sveri [11:37] sveri: 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). [11:38] ActionParsnip, i know about that [11:38] sveri: you cant just throw in some security and expect it to learn your system. You need to configure it [11:38] ActionParsnip, and like i said, i think i configured it right [11:38] ActionParsnip, at least there is not much to do wrong [11:38] sveri: well its not working so clearly something is wrong [11:38] ActionParsnip, i am just wondering how to debug that [11:38] sveri: check logs of fiestarter [11:39] ActionParsnip, good point :D [11:39] sveri: least we can verify the data is getiting in (i bet its not) [11:40] hi all. i am having issues with mounting my xp partition. i am running 8.04. any help would be appreciated greatly. many thanks [11:40] ActionParsnip, well i do have some connectivity on that card [11:40] ActionParsnip, but it seems like its trying to connect, but then gets refused [11:40] hi [11:40] sveri: maybe so, but maybe not for all ports or all services e [11:40] does anyone has experience with ssh port forwading on a dlink router? [11:40] Can someone help me install flash player on firefox, I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 64bit [11:40] no idea of flash tools?

I'm on ubuntu 8.04.1 and I want to change the wifi transmission power, but using "sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower X" doesn't work. I'm using iwl3945 driver. Can anyone help me with that ? [11:43] b1n42y: it asks for rpm. deb. etc [11:43] pc: visit http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ in firefox and click on the yellow bar at the top or intall the flashplugin-nonfree package from multiverse using your favorite package manager and restart your browser [11:43] Hi community, can someone confirm whether in OpenOffice 3.0 the SmartArt widgets generated with MSOffice 2007 and included in .pptx presentations are displayed properly? Currently (Hardy Heron + OO 2.4) the only thing I see is {CLSID-01-02-etc} gibberish and no graph.

To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". User help available in #users.openoffice.org [11:44] the add remove feature in ubuntu works fantastic lol i just searched for it and it installed it [11:44] can I install Ubuntu Server from the Desktop cd? [11:45] pc: you can also do that in cli: apt-cache search [11:45] ubuntu_, no [11:45] ubuntu_: erm, why? [11:45] ubuntu_, you can install lamp though [11:45] Should I install Important security updates. Update Manager found 89 updates [11:45] People. Is it possible to unencrypt an encrypted partition created with the Ubuntu 8.04 alternative installation cd without losing data on it? [11:45] pc: yes [11:45] ActionParsnip: how do I set this up? I have a dir-100 router [11:45] pc yes install em [11:45] Somehow my Windows XP installation cd is bitching because I have an encrypted partition. [11:45] jrib, because I have the desktop and alternate cd already... would prefer not to download a new ISO [11:46] ubuntu_: why do you want server instead of desktop? [11:46] paul68: web browse to the routers internal ip (you will probably find it http://192.168.0.1) [11:46] jrib, it's for a server installation. desktop would also work, but an optimised server install would probably be better [11:46] paul68: then rtfm [11:47] does any one know how to solve a wirless network problem? [11:47] ubuntu_ do you have enterprise hardware ? [11:47] ubuntu_: or is this on a "home" server [11:47] - given the details you have given...it depends on the exact problem. [11:47] ikonia, definitely a "home" server :) [11:47] paul68: thing is their is no DEFINITIVE answer, it varys wildly between routers [11:47] ubuntu_ then you don't want a "server optimised" install as your not using server hardare [11:47] my ubuntu starting with runlevel2 is that right? [11:47] ActionParsnip: I am rtfm but it is different compared to the linksys setup [11:47] ubuntu_: you want a desktop install [11:47] drindt: correct [11:48] - there are a lot of people with driver upgrade issues, in the video and wireless areas sadly. [11:48] hello [11:48] drindt, yes - [11:48] ikonia: in this runlevel the rc.local will not be executed? [11:48] How do I get the compiz fusion icon [11:48] drindt rc.local is always executed [11:48] ikonia: ok [11:48] ubuntu_: well if you're sure you aren't going to put a gui on it anway, easiest way is to just download the iso for a server install. Either way you're going to have to download new data anyway as the server kernel isn't on the desktop cd [11:48] ActionParsnip: I have a portforwarding rule but I can't specify the destinations port if this is the case I need to adapt the listning port in the ssh conf [11:49] pc, you mean the fusion-iconm [11:49] hi [11:49] ikonia, that makes sense... in terms of security, are there significant risks using a desktop install as a server? [11:49] pc: sudo apt-get install compiz-setings-manager [11:49] how can i force kill a process that really doesnt want to be killed [11:49] ubuntu_ nope [11:49] Do you guys know how to access hidden files via Terminal [11:49] pc, you mean the fusion-icon ' tool' that lets you controll compiz ? its in the "fusion-icon" pacaklge [11:49] ubuntu_: just shutdown all you don't need [11:50] panfist: pass -9 to the kill command [11:50] Dr_willis: is compiz fusion already active, I installed ubuntu 8.1 [11:50] i have a question , i don't know if this is the channel for it but here goes. i have a system that has a Pentium D processor 2 GHZ, 945G motherboard and 2GB ram and planning to run ubuntu 32 bit on it with tomcat ,apache http and glassfish server for testing my applications and also for use as a desktop. do you guys think the system is good enough for such tasks ? [11:50] sleepy_cat: access in what way? edit them? [11:50] paul68: thats fine, ususally you are able to specify the backend port but i guess you are tied down by your router [11:50] Dr_willis my wireless card worked fine with 8.04, but since installing 8.10, it does not pick up my home router, it picks up other ones...however logging to one of the routers it picks up, it does not succeed in logging in when using the correct password etc, i have found out that it uses iwl3945, using dmesg | grep -i iwl everything looks normal and workin as it was in 8.04 [11:50] pc, Ubuntu 8.10 Has compiz installed... [11:50] ls -al [11:50] how do u access the settings [11:50] blinkn1 more than good enough [11:50] no just enter into that directory [11:50] hello, does anyone know how to change the wifi transmission power on iwl3945 driver ? [11:50] like mozilla has .mozilla in home folder [11:50] sleepy_cat: cd directory as usual... [11:51] how to acess compiz settings in 8.1 ubuntu [11:51] ActionParsnip: that means that when I ssh localy I have to use the external port as well or am I wrong? [11:51] no it does not work for hidden files [11:51] pc: install compizconfig-settings-manager [11:51] sleepy_cat: cd ~/.mozilla [11:51] does anyone know much about mounting of ntfs? was working, but now isnt. thnxx [11:51] seriousstorm85, i would have to say check the forums.. wireless stff can be a bit of a challange to trouble shoot.. Could be some odd dr4iver updated quirk. or somthiong else entirely [11:51] jrib thats not working [11:51] hello [11:51] panfist: reboot then [11:51] pc: new control panel is installed into Preferences [11:51] [11:51] Dr_willis thanks [11:51] [11:51] nes: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:52] jrib well last time i did that i encountered this situation i had problems when the system came back up... [11:52] is linux great?? [11:52] nes try it [11:52] thanks ikonia [11:52] nes: see what you think [11:52] panfist: what is hanging? [11:52] stibily, about eveyr time some one mentions taht 'it used to work and now its not' its due to the ntfs not getting unmounted by windows cleanly when windows crashed.. so boot back to windows.. and scan/check/defrag the drive.. then try it in linux again [11:52] paul68: if you are on the same LAN you can use LAN address, if you are external to your LAN, use your routers WAN IP, you may want to get a no-ip account to save you having to remember your ip address [11:52] how old you [11:52] nes this is a support channel only, not a chat channel [11:52] nes this is not the chat channel; #ubuntu-offtopic for that [11:52] ActionParsnip: already have a no ip account [11:53] okay [11:53] ikonia: A/S/L ? :) [11:53] Dr_willis: i just made sure -twice- that i successfully closed windows down, however i havent checked it for errors [11:53] jrib it's a file transfer using rsync to a raid5 array on the ubuntu machine created with mdadm. last time the file transfer just stopped, i rebooted, and the array had to resync ( 7 hours). and the problem keeps happening, so i would like to find out the cause. [11:53] ActionParsnip: so just change the port in de ssh config on my server then right? [11:53] paul68: then your account will resolve your name you have to your ip [11:53] stibily, as a test.. try to mount the filesystemmanuyally from the terminal, and look for error messages [11:53] Dr_willis: ok [11:54] panfist: ah. Then you should describe that in your question to the channel. I don't know about raid [11:54] paul68: whatever makes your router sing with your server. Id make the server use static ip to ease management [11:54] Is there some way to get better ATI graphic card support than just installing the proprietary driver? Such as using wine to run the windows drivers? [11:54] DaveKong no [11:54] ActionParsnip: I second that motion [11:54] jrib there is nothing kern.log, daemon.log, syslog, messages...strace -p to the rsync process i just blank, like its not doing anything [11:54] buildig of an array became slow, there are two arrays being rebuild how can i stop pause one ? [11:54] ikonia, :( alright thanks [11:54] DaveKong: Not really. Emulating almost never has any luck with hardware rendering [11:54] im using mdadm [11:55] espacious try "mdadm --stop /dev/mdx" where x is the number of the array [11:55] DaveKong: Proprietary is best your going to get. You could also try the bleeding edge SVN versions but not worth the effort [11:55] irc://irc.freenode.net/roundcube [11:56] backing up home dirs... will 'sudo cp /home/* /media/archive/home' get all the files? [11:56] Dr_willis: i have managed to mount it now - it was trying to mount to /media/XP, however the folder did not exist, so i created it and now its mounted. but i thought this gets created when its mounted anyway =S [11:56] panfist will try the speed droped to almost zero! [11:56] sudo vudo i know judo --nub [11:56] ubuntu_: no [11:56] ubuntu_: no. it will skip directories I'd imagine [11:56] Dr_willis: becos i added a line to my fstab to tell it to automount on startup of ubuntu [11:56] if i try to unmount a device, and it says that it's busy, how can i find out what is holding it up [11:56] !backups > ubuntu_ [11:56] ubuntu_, please see my private message [11:56] stibily: no, the mounting folder must already exist [11:57] ubuntu_: cp -r ............ would be a smarter option === Aragon^ is now known as Aragon [11:57] er, yes, I meant cp -r ... thanks [11:57] ActionParsnip: ok, somehow it got deleted then, now i know, thanks =) [11:57] stibily, a mount point does not get 'created' on mounting.. the directory must exist beforhand.. [11:57] panfist: http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/FAQ_scotec6cantkill.html suggests it may be a driver issue. Check the bug tracker maybe [11:57] panfist u can force the umount maybe [11:57] stibily: learning all the time [11:57] Dr_willis: ok thank you for your help [11:57] =) [11:57] stibily, some front end tools - DO auto make the directory.. [11:58] espacious if i force the umount, i will probably have to resync the array. [11:58] ewww a mount gui, nasty [11:58] lol [11:58] thanks for the info jrib [11:58] panfist maybe [11:58] what graphic cards are best supported in Linux? [11:58] alright, why does nfs die when i reboot? just prints mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered [11:59] ActionParsnip: just a silly question my router is dhcp my eth1 is at this point due to recent changes also dhcp eth0 is static, is changing the dhcp into static on my eth0 going to have an impact on the rest of the devices connected to eth1 [11:59] DaveKong: id say nvidia [11:59] Dr_willis: think im going to try a restart and just make sure that it continues to mount ok, thnx again [11:59] DaveKong: nVidia [11:59] so for archival purposes, tar is a better option than cp? [11:59] DaveKong, nvidia's proprietary drivers are pretty darn good [11:59] ubuntu is alot easier then windows now, it downloads and installs for u with the handy add remove program [11:59] paul68: you can have them both on static as long as they have different ip addresses within your subnet [11:59] ubuntu_: yep tar.gz is probably the best best [11:59] ok, thanks everyone... maybe I can sell my ATI and find a navida card for a decent price on newegg [12:00] ActionParsnip: ok thanks [12:00] pc, learn to use synaptic, dont rely on the 'add/remove' tool.. its a limited synaptic :) [12:00] DaveKong: is your ATI _that_ bad ? [12:00] thanks daveStyle [12:00] paul68: youo can even have the pc on 2 networks if the system pluggd into 2 routers [12:00] ubuntu_: np [12:00] jrib ok i read that but i'm not 100% clear...i think i can eliminate the problem of faulty hardware because /proc/mdstat tells me the array is fine. i think i can eliminate badly written software because rsync is supposedly very mature. if it's a bad driver, does that mean mdadm is bad, or my motherboard SATA controller driver is bad, or it could be either? or something else? [12:01] hi is there any web master here? i want to put a table in my ws with rounded corners... is that possible? i searched it up on the internet and tried many ways but i couldn't find anything... any suggestion? [12:01] daveStyle, movies are pretty choppy and look more Pixelated than they should, haven't tried playing any 3d intense games [12:01] panfist: don't know [12:01] movies shouldn't really be choppy. Try disabling your 3D effects [12:02] ActionParsnip: at this point my setup is like this isp <=> dlink <=> server <=> linksys router/wifi accesspoint [12:02] do i see compiz breaking MORE stuff, shock [12:02] does anyone know how gnome's alt-f2 works? I want a command that will pop up that dialogue, to replace xfrun4 (which is shit) [12:02] Is there any program that add meta tags to mp4 ? [12:02] DaveKong: are the movies flickering ? [12:03] !info id3tag | tarelerulz [12:03] tarelerulz: Package id3tag does not exist in intrepid [12:03] alsuren: it's part of gnome-panel [12:03] daveStyle, yes they do now and then [12:03] daveStyle, not constantly [12:03] DaveKong: Did you try disabling desktop effects ? [12:03] jrib: It only seems to be brought up if metacity is selected as the window manager. Is there a dbus hook to bring it up? [12:04] daveStyle, I had them disabled before, I have them set to "Normal" atm [12:04] GARRHH!! WTF!!! nfs worked fine, i reboot, now it's all over RPC ERRORS!! [12:04] The reason I want to add tags to mp4 is I want to rip my dvd into that container format . Been looking and geting no where . [12:04] alsuren: "gnome-panel --sm-client-id default1" [12:04] alsuren: that's not true. Metacity does not need to be running. I don't know if there is a dbus hook that will bring it up [12:05] DaveKong: I have problems with movies on my ATI card when effects are enabled [12:05] this a common ubuntu issue? or linux? [12:05] Hi, I want to use hdmi audio output on a intel gma card, I managed to enable it but i only get one channel to work (left but not right) ? I've check all the mixing parameters [12:05] Have you any idea ? [12:05] daveStyle, ok I will try turning them off [12:06] DaveKong: give it a go [12:06] pepie34: is the sound set to centre? is the cable ok? [12:06] Toznoshio: what's that supposed to do? I get A panel is already running. [12:06] ActionParsnip: this is the current layout http://pv-global-it.com/brol/network_layout.JPG [12:06] it is a hdmi cable so it is transmùitted in digital form [12:07] so no analog cable problem [12:07] does anyone know where i can find the 2.6.24-18.8-xen kernel? [12:07] the current 2.6.24-21-xen kernel is murder, and this one has been recommended to me [12:07] K, does anyone know how to remove wine? I installed mIRC to see if it would work, then removed wine. In my panel it shows the wine folder and MiRC even though I uninstalled it. [12:08] daveStyle, Turning down all the 3d settings and turning off effects seems to have improved videos though still skips a frame here and there [12:08] someone solved the tearing problem when watching videos with ati cards? [12:08] DaveKong: Humm, I only have the problem with the effects enabled [12:08] CastilleV, that has nothing todo wih removing 'wine' but uninstalling the windows app using wine.. those icons come from some .Dirctory inyour users home dir.. i forget where.. but you can find/remove them there.. [12:08] hey, so i rebooted, and it didn't go down all the way cleanly. after all the normal rebooting output, i got a blinking cursor in the top left corner of a blank screen. i waited five minutes and did a hard reset...and now the array has to resync [12:08] DaveKong: can't help you anymore than that :( [12:08] http://pastebin.com/m5d714b89 [12:09] how do i set my location for the CLI weather-util package? [12:09] my kernel post install isnt working [12:09] CastilleV: The application is probably removed but associated files are generally always left [12:09] daveStyle, ok your help is appreciated [12:09] DaveKong: :) [12:09] Toznoshio: I already have a gnome panel running: I'm only using xfwm4 because metacity is a shit window manager (doesn't do vertical/horizontal maximisation) and compiz doesn't work on my rage128 [12:09] paul68: ok, which server is runng the ssh server? [12:09] Dr_willis So I can't get rid of the mIRC files? [12:09] CastilleV: Yep [12:09] Let alone the wine folder showing in my applications menu? [12:09] CastilleV: Generally removing any program will leave the config files on the system [12:10] Ah well.....Oh well. [12:10] someone solved the tearing problem when watching videos with ati cards? [12:10] CastilleV: Usually in the ~/.wine folder or whatever [12:10] That would explain a bit. [12:10] What about .deb files? [12:10] I accidentaly closed gedit without saving some texts. Are some backup files available somewhere on my computer? [12:10] ActionParsnip: just 1 server the one just after the dlink [12:10] http://pastebin.com/m5d714b89 how do i get kernel postinstall to work? [12:10] "ls -la" in your home folder and you might see some directories for stuff you don't have installed anymore [12:10] jeancalvin: check for hidden files in the directory [12:11] jrib: thakn [12:11] ! paste [12:11] 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) [12:11] CastilleV: They will remain whereever after the application has been install/uninstalled [12:11] where's gedit folder [12:11] ? [12:11] someone solved the tearing problem when watching videos with ati cards? [12:11] And uh, is there a way to move a directory to the trash folder? Or better yet, a way to empty folders? [12:11] VIA terminal [12:11] paul68: yeah id set eth0 to static [12:11] ActionParsnip: okk thanks [12:12] CastilleV: I've only ever deleted it completely [12:12] elc: You have a link for that fix ? [12:13] hehe nope i have no fix ;) i want that fixed among other things .... -_- [12:13] Ok. Then. So it stays.....*sigh* damn wine folder and user curiosity...... [12:13] elc: Oh right. I'll second that [12:14] can i get some help with Google Gadgets? [12:14] CastilleV: You can show hidden files in your file browser and then send it to trash. No terminal required [12:14] CastilleV, of course you can remove the files [12:14] i only have 5 Gadgets, how do i get more? [12:14] jeancalvin: I mean in the directory that your file was in [12:14] to bad just wanted thave a linux for internet mail icq etc... and as media player...but thats to mutch.. [12:14] jrib: oh [12:14] CastilleV, now if you know how.. is the big question.. time to learn some shell basics? the icons in the menu seem to come from the ~/.config/menus/applications-merged files on my system [12:14] Yes, but I want to do it via terminal. That stuff.....Bash I think, its quite nice. [12:14] does anyone know where i can find the 2.6.24-18.8-xen kernel? [12:14] the current 2.6.24-21-xen kernel is murder, and this one has been recommended to me [12:15] alsuren: it does do vertical/horizontal maximization... [12:15] Currently I only have 5 gadgets in Google Gadget in Ubuntu 8.10. How do I get more Gadgets? [12:16] Ah! Thanks Dr_Willis! Found it! [12:17] google gadgets hage their own homepage with 10000000+s of gadgets [12:17] So now I just delete it then, right? [12:17] sidewalk: how did you install google gadgets? [12:17] Anyone noticed a oddity in Brasero - you burn a data dvd.. it burns it, ejext it, then tries to 'verify' the disk.. even tho the tray is open? thus the verify fails? [12:18] Dr_willis: last time I did a verify it pulled the disc back in.. might be some new "feature" [12:18] Havent burned a disc. I do know that sometimes when I run the music player it causes my OS to freeze. [12:19] if i install windows vista it will destroy the ubuntu bootloader. can i then fix it by booting from the ubuntu setup disc? [12:19] Finiras, yes and yes [12:19] Finiras: yes, you can reinstall grub from a live cd [12:19] !grub [12:19] 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 [12:20] Dr_willis: Now I just delete the mirc merge file, yes? [12:20] Cause I don't wanna mess anything up. [12:20] jim_p will it automatically add vista to the bootloader too? [12:20] Finiras, yes see !grub [12:20] ok thanks [12:20] !grub [12:20] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

I was a bit unsure how to answer that [12:24] Like 8.0.4 came with GIMP 2.4 but 8.10 comes with 2.6 [12:24] It is a "Stable version" type thing, yes yes? [12:25] CastilleV, Safty is one thing.. stable is another.. :) [12:25] But it IS a *nix thing, right?

Have they fixed that bug then? I thought they'd marked it as "wontfix" [12:34] ham, try 'sudo make uninstall' in the bery source directory.. and hope it works..

[13:13] tominglis not, as the new one comes down the old ones should be bumped down with it, but you will need to keep an eye on it as it can cause the need to manually change it [13:14] which audio system do you guys suggest?

[13:17] merther: also, make sure not to confuse kbs with kB/s [13:17] yao_ziyuan, real player does that already, no setting needed [13:18] ikonia: if i put 'savedefault' after the kernel i want, and change default to 'saved' will that keep the correct kernel even after upgrades, providing it isn't deleted?

[14:14] dvyjones: check the other file anyway [14:14] jrib: X restarted ino the same (black + throbber cursor) [14:14] dvyjones: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:14] i guess the devs know that a lot of people when upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 are getting multiple display drivers shown in lspci so you have to take the BusID from one of these and input it into your xorg.conf [14:14] dvyjones: and this is before the login screen loads correct? [14:15] sudobash: a search of bugs.ubuntu.com would tell you for sure [14:15] jrib: Yes. [14:15] do i have to install anything to build a kernel driver? [14:15] jrib: I chacked /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom, and it had the theme set, but still didn't work after changing there...

[14:20] DasEi: that paste was a mistake [14:20] ikonia: it says its for 17 and up, tho [14:20] jrib: Any other ideas? [14:20] Build-A-Bear: using hardy or ibex ? [14:20] ForsakenSoul-> can you make a drawing of your network layout and then paste in pastebin? a picture of network connectivity is worth a thousand words <-- anything yet? [14:20] Build-A-Bear hard to say "and up" because they don't know what is going to be in future kenrnels [14:21] dvyjones: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:21] c0re_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql [14:21] thanks Eressolar [14:21] ikonia: the link i pasted is the old one, i didnt mean to paste it, there seems to be multiple things clipboards in ubuntu [14:21] but the error i pasted is from a kernel driver source iwas trying to compiple [14:21] /home/todd/Desktop/r5u870-0.10.0/usbcam.h:36:29: error: media/video-buf.h: No such file or directory [14:21] n8tuser did you mean something like http://img230.imageshack.us/my.php?image=networkuo0.jpg [14:21] ?
