[00:17] truebosko: going out on a limb... probably jaunty [00:17] ekontsevoy: its not as much the laptop itself as it is the parts inside, the chipset, the video card, intel is a good bet [00:17] ah [00:17] truebosko: no i dont. i'd guess that a future release will depend on 2.6. but currently a lot of software uses python and libraries. and all must be available for the version. that's why i think it wont be soon 3.0 [00:17] ekontsevoy: try reading Ubuntu HCL [00:17] I see, ok [00:17] anyone able to help me set up vpn on my box?

Has anyone done something like this? [00:31] fde dunno, I havent use suse for 5 years now [00:31] fde I have just migrated from windows vista to linux desktop [00:32] and unfortunately there is no novell open office edition for linux [00:32] but it comes with sled i wish i will find some way to install it over ubuntu [00:32] umer: umm, yes there is... most every distro uses novells branch [00:32] joachimATjku: you're supposed to upgrade gutsy->hardy->intrepid. someone else asked the same a while ago, maybe you can search the chat archive [00:32] umer: Ubuntu comes with OpenOffice.org preinstalled [00:32] yes i know [00:33] but novell open office has some extra features [00:33] JonathanElli1: there are two branches of OpenOffice.org ...

If you're worried about stability, you might consider sticking with 8.04. [00:33] that's great [00:33] Didnt Novell make deals with Micro$oft a while back? [00:33] What is the difference? [00:33] JonathanElli1: you have and other pc with cdrom? and the "broken" one support USB boot? you could put the live cd on a stick [00:33] what should a virtual host file look like [00:33] joachimATjku: you'll be able to upgrade from 8.04 straight to 10.04 when its released [00:33] can i use the default one and modify that? [00:33] umer: for instance, Tools > Macros ... that isn't in the Sun branch [00:34] can i get some help with ubuntu 8.10 and a blank screen ?? [00:34] EvolutionXtinct: Yeah, and you can also copy it, etc. [00:34] great fde [00:34] what portions do i need to change on it? [00:34] Din|BSD: yes... they cross licensed some patents, and Microsoft agreed to market SUSE to their customers. [00:34] zsquareplusc: Yes I have another computer with CD. Unfortunately the one with the broken cd doesnt support usb boot [00:34] hello [00:34] EvolutionXtinct: Put the files in /etc/apache2/sites-available, and then "enable" them by symlinking to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ you can use the a2ensite to do this for you. [00:34] Hi guys. I'm new to Intrepid. A long time ago when I installed Ubuntu we had to install a microsoft font pack to get some standard internet fonts. I can't seem to find this package in the repositories and I have noticed that many webpage fonts look different in Intrepid vs Windows. Where can I get this font pack? Thank you!! [00:34] how do i see if dri is enabled with fglrx? [00:34] EvolutionXtinct: You don't need to change anything by default. What stuff you change depends on what you want to accomplish [00:35] well mainly just want to upload a site to here and test out things. [00:35] guyz did you try rain slick i know many if you hates games same here but it's really cool for those who cares [00:35] Din|BSD: Note that Microsoft screwed up and licensed Unix from the wrong company... last time they did that, they paid out $1.5 billion for MP3, and Unix is more integral to Vista [00:35] zsquareplusc: So I was thinking about just putting a small install on to a partition but I dont want to use up nearly a gig to put the whole contents of the livecd on it. [00:35] I am unable to access Internet in Ubuntu, because Ubuntu is not recognizing my USB Modem. Please help.

[00:37] kindofabuzz: Yes, and the value of $0 will be the name of the symlink rather than the actual script name [00:37] it's like shortcut kind of a buss [00:37] JonathanElli1: hm. if you copy the live cd on a stick but use your hardisks grub to load kernel and initrd from the cd. that should work [00:38] can i get some help with ubuntu 8.10 and a blank screen ?? [00:38] kindofabuzz: a symlink is just a pointer to a different spot on the drive... it is basically the same as the actual link, but doesn't go away if the main file is deleted, which is how it differs from a hardlink [00:38] shadowwulf: Blank screen before or after logging in? [00:38] joachimATjku: You should still upgrade to 8.04 at least. 7.10 is only supported for about six more months [00:38] i am havin' major trouble tryin to resize a partition with gparted [00:38] zsquareplusc: Thanks.

[00:42] zsquareplusc, gparted complains and lets me dump this [00:42] fde: gparted is a partition editor, not a data recovery suite... [00:42] umer: same thing, different frontend [00:42] hmm [00:42] Jordan_U, any ideas ? [00:43] shadowwulf: Try disabling compiz. After logging in press ctrl+alt+F1 ( you will need to log in again in the tty that comes up ) then run "DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace" then ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to X where you will hopefully be able to see your desktop and disable compiz permanently in preferences [00:43] fde yes [00:43] fde how do i __recover__ the data? [00:43] Is there a linux program that deals with writing over the space previously occupied by deleted files to ensure they cannot be recovered? [00:43] Jordan_U, well then theres no reason to run it .. i want compiz ... and i had it working once ... so why disable it ? [00:43] m1dnight try boot n nuke [00:43] wos: I'll look it up - thanks [00:43] raven: i see. but cant help. what i know is that previous versions of ntfresize demanded that you defragment the disk using windows. [00:44] wos: eh... at this point, you likely can't, as the journal his probably been written again [00:44] hi [00:44] Hello there [00:44] FUCVKKKKK [00:44] sorry [00:44] O.o [00:44] OH MY GOD [00:44] i had to disable compiz, works horrible on intel video cards........ i dont know if i can go back to previous version of it in intrepid...? [00:44] wos: tough way to learn the importance of backups [00:44] wos: wait - does using dban involve wiping the whole disk? I was hoping to keep the exisiting data and just wipe the parts currently empty. [00:44] fde is there any thing like yast in ubuntu . [00:44] shadowwulf: Usually a white screen when logging in means that there is a driver problem screwing up 3D acceleration and thus preventing compiz from drawing [00:45] wos: there are undelete tools for FAT and maybe NTFS (i'd check the windows world for these) and there is just an experimental ext2 undeletze [00:45] I am unable to access Internet in Ubuntu, because Ubuntu is not recognizing my USB Modem. Please help. [00:45] umer: not really, guidance and the gnome-system-tools ... [00:45] Jordan_U, ok ... but the command should at least get me a desktop right ? [00:45] zsquareplusc i have a fat32 external drive [00:45] wos: Please watch your language [00:45] shadowwulf: If that is the cause of the problem, yes [00:46] zsquareplusc, what is the name of this software>? [00:46] how do I install the driver for ATI Radeon HD 3200? [00:46] !undelete | wos [00:46] wos: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [00:46] raven: says the resize worked [00:46] Harsha: no clue, but you could use "lsusb" to read the vendor and product ID numbers and use thiese for a google search. like "1234:5678 ubuntu" [00:47] thanks flannel [00:47] hey, i have the DHCP server running in my ubuntu box, and another computer just got an IP address from it (and, if i understand correctly, this means it got a lease). Why is /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases empty? [00:47] wos: there are recovery tools for that one. might not get 100% back but many data. i know that sandisk ships one with the faster CF cards [00:47] Harsha, do you know what modem do you have? [00:47] cF card? [00:48] Pretto: yes, it is zxdsl 831aii [00:48] fde: well it didnt... when i rebooted to a usb ubuntu to repartition the ubuntu partition to take the freespace, it was back on windows [00:48] When I suspend + resume my laptop compiz forgets all my wallpaper settings and I get black, does anyone know of a fix? (intrepid on Acer Aspire One) [00:48] wos: There's a factoid, although ubottu is having issues. [00:49] What codecs should I use gstreamer, xine or the ones with mplayer? [00:49] can i delete my /var/cache/apt/ before doing a dist-upgrade? [00:49] raven: I believe the installer should be able to resize the partition too... hit custom and try... nothing is written until you hit Ok or Next or whatever it says [00:49] joachimATjku: use apt-get clean. Why do you want to though? [00:49] factoid? what? [00:49] Pretto: In Windows, I need to install an driver to use the USB harddisk, but they don' t have Linux version of the driver. [00:49] running out of disc space [00:49] wos: CF card -> memory used in digital cameras [00:50] where does NetworkManager store its configuration? [00:50] wos: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [00:50] raven: actually it doesn't apply anything until its done asking questions... it presents the entire process that you've requested etc... just make sure NTFS is defragmented [00:50] it's not in /etc/network/interfaces anymore [00:50] Jordan_U, how long should i be waiting ? [00:50] fde: it hasnt been defragged..... ever [00:50] its 217GB, that would take too long :/ [00:50] Pretto: My modem name is "zxdsl 831aii" [00:50] fde: thing is.... [00:50] raven: then boot to Windows and do it... else you'll probably lose data if you try resizing it [00:51] Harsha, do this in a terminal sudo lsusb -v| grep -i vendor [00:51] fde, the installer resized it on original install w/o prob.. [00:51] fde: thing is... if i just right click and click share, it shares it, but i dont have read and write permissions on it (well i have read, but not write...) [00:51] /etc/network/interfaces only has lo in it now [00:52] anybody know of a good CD labeler that will print two different labels on one sheet of paper ? [00:52] wos: Nothing, you got it. [00:52] fde: r u there? [00:52] raven: defragmentation occurs when files on an NTFS partition become dis-contiguous, which means the data is scattered across the drive rather than neatly at the begginning... which means some could be at the end where you're trying to shrink it.... [00:52] i know what it means :p [00:52] shadowwulf: It should be immediate if it worked, did you press ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to X? [00:52] im just lazy [00:52] lol [00:52] lenswipe: There are options for permissions of the folder :/ [00:53] Jordan_U, still a blank screen [00:53] does anyone know where NetworkManager stores its config? Maybe I'm missing something stupid... [00:53] raven: bad time to be lazy unless you don't care about screwing up your NTFS partition? [00:53] shadowwulf: What gfx card do you have? [00:53] fde, don't care THAT much [00:53] jmccc, gconf i think [00:53] fde, it'd be nice if i didnt lose it tho [00:53] Pretto: I am in another operating system, can you provide me the detailed steps, that I should follow that involves Internet. [00:53] Jordan_U, i have a nvidia GTS 8800 [00:54] Pretto: tks, will check it out [00:54] raven: I'm talking about there is a risk it'll never boot again [00:54] raven: just because you don't want to defrag [00:54] Jordan_U, worked on 8.04 but doesnt work on 8.10 [00:54] shadowwulf: Did you install the drivers via System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [00:54] raven: there is no telling what might be at the end of the drive... [00:54] Jordan_U, i would if i could get to a desktop to see that [00:55] shadowwulf: I mean how did you install the drivers initially? [00:55] Harsha, sorry, do you know if that modem is acting as an usb disc? [00:55] raven: any important dll's though, or the kernel itself... very bad for you [00:55] Pretto: you mean in ~/.gconf? [00:55] Jordan_U, i did at the time yes [00:55] fde: don't care about the OS lol [00:55] extra repositories for compiz?? [00:55] fde: i am a windows expert, i can fix the OS easy [00:55] fde: it's my saved games im worried about most, but they arent the end of the world [00:55] raven: ok, great... then knock yourself out [00:56] Pretto: No, Ubuntu does not detects the USB device. [00:56] * zsquareplusc whispers "backup" into raven's ear [00:56] hmm, don't see anything in ~/.gconf or /etc/gconf [00:56] Hello! Can Anyone Help me set up firestarter? I cant seem to share my Internet connection to my xbox 360 [00:56] jmccc, what kind of info are you trying to find? wireless? [00:57] shadowwulf: To check if I understand, you installed 8.04, installed the nvidia drivers via the Hardware Drivers menu, then updgraded to 8.10 and now have a blank screen, or is this a fresh install of 8.10 where you have not yet installed the nvidia drivers? [00:57] Jordan_U: so basically, you're pretty confused? :P [00:57] Pretto: ubuntu does not recognises it as an USB disc. [00:57] FistMaker: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [00:57] Pretto: no, I need to make some changes to add some adapter configurations, I'm sshed into an intrepid box, no gui, /etc/network/interfaces only has lo now, don't see eth0 or eth1 or anything else [00:57] Intrepid [00:57] 8.10 [00:58] not sure what to call it :) [00:58] = new to Ubuntu [00:58] FistMaker: I would recommend using network manager to share the internet rather than firestarter [00:58] FistMaker: both get the point across, saying both confirms :) [00:58] Jordan_U, i installed 8.04 and then upgraded to 8.10 ... 8.04 worked fine and then when i upgraded it does the blank screen thing on 8.10 [00:58] jmccc: use ssh -X and oyu can run gui apps :-) [00:58] jmccc, try gconf-editor and find the following key /system/networking/, maybe it could help [00:58] How do I use network manager? [00:58] Jordan_U, i still have the option of going to 8.04 but i wanted to get 8.10 working so i wouldint have to go back to 8.04 [00:58] Anyone know about unmounting a "disconnected" firewire external drive that mount thinks is there, but umount complains "hal" (hardware abstraction layer?) "/sbin/umount.hal: /dev/sdb5 is not recognized by hal "? [00:58] Is that another download? [00:59] FistMaker: No, it comes with Ubuntu [00:59] Pretto: No, ubuntu does not recognises it as an USB disc. [00:59] FistMaker: NetworkManager is the computer looking thingy in the top panel towards the right [00:59] Pretto: tks [00:59] Harsha, sorry, I am not able to help you [00:59] ok, I see it [00:59] FistMaker: System > Preferences > Networking, set whatever interface your xbox is connected to to "sharing" [00:59] FistMaker: right click > edit connections ... [01:00] Harsha, you must inspect kernel messages when you plug your modem [01:00] FistMaker: (both mine and Jordan_U's advice give you the same tool) [01:00] good deal, i'm at my 360's eth1 connection [01:00] how do I get the right driver for ATI Radeon HD 3200? [01:01] how do I set it to share? [01:01] shadowwulf: Do you want to get your desktop back until you get the nvidia drivers fixed? [01:01] Pretto: In GUI Ubuntu does not gives nay messages but how do I check Kernel messages? === h2o_backup_nick1 is now known as deuterium [01:01] Harsha: dmesg [01:02] Pretto: In GUI Ubuntu does not gives any messages, but how do I check Kernel messages? [01:02] Jordan_U, yes i do [01:03] Harsha, you can use the following command in a terminal screen: tail -f /var/log/messages and plug your usb modem and see what messages will be showed in the terminal [01:03] What do I do to configure it properly? [01:03] auto eth1 is set to DHCP [01:03] xbox 360 is set to same [01:03] hello. I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this or experienced it. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 64bit with a dualcore amd chip. It seems that my 2nd CPU is always at 100% use... even when nothing is going on. Any thoughts? [01:03] Jordan_U: sorry for the spelling mistake, is "dmesg" is a command to check Kernel message? [01:03] guys how i can install libextractor and libqt5.dev on ubuntu 8.10 [01:04] shadowwulf: Ok, go back to the terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 and run this command "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-not-working" ( make sure you capitalize the "X" in X11 ) [01:04] Harsha: Yes [01:05] Pretto: Thanks, I will restart my computer and check the output for your command. [01:05] still there fde? [01:05] hello. I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this or experienced it. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 64bit with a dualcore amd chip.

[01:05] Jordan_U, done [01:05] system monitor does not show any program using up that much cpu [01:06] shadowwulf: Then you can restart X by running "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart" or going back with ctrl+alt+F1 then hitting ctrl+alt+backspace [01:06] how do we find which version of ubuntu i am using i used uname but that just's gives kerne version [01:06] Hello!

[01:10] !sysrq | shadowwulf [01:10] buster_hymen: but in system monitor --> resources CPU2 is at 100% [01:10] shadowwulf: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [01:10] xiamx, you will see a button called "Edit virtual machine settings" so select "display" and uncheck the 3d option [01:10] When I run dvd::rip on a cluster, I keep getting the following in my logs: "Node's transcode options currently ignored at /usr/share/perl5/Video/DVDRip/Cluster/Node.pm line 241."

[01:12] whats the standard kernel version for 8.04 [01:12] Jordan_U, ok now im back to the same issue i had in the first place [01:12] pumpkinseed: zero, usually. Well let me qualify that. Once i get a service running properly, zero [01:13] xiamx, sorry, i thought you wanted to disable it [01:13] I'm not sure what to set up in Network manager [01:13] pumpkinseed: getting them to run the way I want might take some effort though...

I have major issues all the time. Just today, I tried using my DVD burner for the first time. K3b made two coasters, back to back... Turns out it doesn't like my drive or something. I also had a ton of bugs with my cursor [01:14] Shared to other computers? [01:14] FistMaker: Yes [01:14] buster_hymen: Sorry to do this. I just feel like going back to windows. [01:15] pumpkinseed: are you using a branded computer? that could be an issue. I had a dell and linux did NOT play nice with it [01:15] i gotta problem ...i deleted the apt cache manually before dist-upgrading ...now it says 0 updated 0 installed 425 not updated [01:15] how can i update the missing 425 packages [01:15] joachimATjku: um, why did you ignore what I told you? [01:15] i allready did it before [01:16] joachimATjku: How did you dist-upgrade, using update manager? [01:16] joachimATjku: huh? [01:16] apt-get dist-upgrade [01:16] no dice. Xbox failed DNS [01:16] how do you install java?

Hardware incompatabilities, the works [01:16] jrib: u told me after i had allready deleted the cache [01:16] any ideas on how to get a broadcom wireless connection to work? [01:16] joachimATjku: Changing your sources.list and running apt-get dist-upgrade is not the proper way to upgrade Ubuntu releases [01:17] woohoo, it worked [01:17] oh well [01:17] does ubuntu ver 5.04 support wireless? [01:17] !wireless | keithclark [01:17] keithclark: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs === Jguy2 is now known as Jguy [01:17] keithclark: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [01:17] sambagirl: 5.04 is not supported anymore [01:17] mhmm never did it in another way [01:17] does what is listed on the java thing support 8.10? [01:17] Jordan_U: Did that, nothing [01:17] sambagirl, that is end of life, get a more recent version [01:17] Jordan_U: did not work, Xbox failed DNS [01:17] how to install oracle DB [01:17] bye guys... when it takes more time to fix bugs than the time I have to use my system its time to go to a better os [01:17] sooooo is there a solution to my problem? ^ [01:17] pumpkinseed: well damn! lol, don't play lottery. I'll be honest though, I find that *nix is much more suitable as a server platform than a productivity desktop/workstation/notebook [01:17] joachimATjku: are you trying to use dist-upgrade to upgrade between releases? [01:18] sambagirl: Yes, but not very well, why are you using a completely unsupported version of Ubuntu from 2005? [01:18] buster_hymen: yeah, I hear you. [01:18] i have 8.1 but the cd is damaged and i dont have any blank ones to redo it so i can install it for my needs so i happened to have a bunch of 5.x sitting aorund and just used that. [01:18] Jordan_U: No, actually, its not. Following the documented upgrade procedures (do-release-upgrade or update-manager) is the proper way to upgrade to a new release. [01:18] sambagirl, its not supported [01:18] buster_hymen: thanks for chatting. and take care of yourself [01:18] Pici: Re-read what I said, that's what I was telling him :) [01:18] Jordan_U: did not work, Xbox failed DNS [01:19] i changed the sources.list from gutsy to hardy debs and ran an update and afterwards dist-upgrade [01:19] Jordan_U: sorry, missed a key word in there :) [01:19] joachimATjku: that's not how you upgrade [01:19] Jordan_U, any ideas ? [01:19] pumpkinseed: you too! [01:19] thats how i allways did it ( ....well worked in debian (sid) ) [01:20] joachimATjku: sure, but that is not how you upgrade ubuntu [01:20] so how can i get my missing 425 packages :D [01:20] joachimATjku: did packages actually install from hardy? [01:20] Please help... I'm trying to install clamAV on a live cd to check a windows partition but apt-get isn't finding it... is there a repos that I need to add to my sources list? [01:20] yeah bout 400 did install [01:20] here is a question. [01:21] If I had to choose a brand new graphics card under $200, but over $100 with COMPLETE linux compatiblity, what would you suggest [01:21] joachimATjku: well you have to mess around with apt-get and dpkg now... [01:21] have not rebooted yet :D (I am afraid) :D [01:21] is there a way that i can install 8.1 iso over my network? [01:21] jrib: Just out of curiosity what is the proper way to upgrade on a command line system if that's not how to do it? [01:21] fg [01:21] Ok, thanks.

[02:08] FistMaker: I don't know [02:08] in preferences theres a checkbox to start at login [02:08] specific? feels like I'm diving a chevrolet [02:08] lol [02:08] yeah or that [02:08] :P [02:08] super+space is the shortcut =D [02:08] vahnx, I decided the checkbox was just too ez [02:08] :P [02:08] Fresh78, do you have a support question? or just wish to chat [02:08] vahnx, you can change it [02:08] Aww, still supporting random loggin-offs [02:08] Ah ;D I'm a fan of automation [02:09] I made mine ctrl+space [02:09] oh this just support [02:09] peace yall [02:09] ... I've been trying to set up ICS for two days now [02:09] yep [02:09] Jordan_U: right now i have the openoffice 3.0 repository disabled [02:09] super space seems good. i think my ctrl+space etc. is binded by compiz [02:09] actually i might change it to alt+space [02:09] like launchy [02:09] Is there a gnome equivalent to kde's katapult? That seems to be all I'm missing [02:09] oh yeah I ripped off my left hand super button because I got pissed off in windows while playing a game I hit it and the damn start menu popped up [02:10] hehe [02:10] my friend had os x on his desktop but removed it because when he played wow the doc kept popping up [02:10] i told him he could hide it n stuff but too late [02:10] lame [02:10] he he he [02:10] is there another place I can go for help other than this channel for help with Internet Connection issues? [02:10] hey baz whats a good chat server? [02:11] ardchoille, what is katapult? [02:11] FistMaker: not really, not if its ubuntu related [02:11] how do I start from scratch with this then [02:11] I believe that gnome-do is the same thing [02:11] Hello all... I changed /bin/sh to be run by dash by doing: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash, how can I return it to default - to be bash? [02:11] I want to start all over with the network [02:11] Milos_SD: the default is dash [02:11] toyo|desk: ah, thanks [02:11] Jordan_U: how can i get back to openoffice 2.4? [02:11] Anybody know how to make screen start detached? [02:12] i've tried Firestarter, ICS, NAT and DHCP3 [02:12] im not sure what to even try to configure anymore [02:12] bryan: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org" should do it [02:12] ardchoille, yes gnome-do is the same thing [02:12] toyo|desk: installing it now :) [02:12] cool [02:13] FistMaker: maybe detailing all you've done in the forums would be the best approach [02:13] MTeck: -d (see 'man screen') [02:13] jrib, are you sure? [02:13] Does anyone have any experience setting up a mobile broadband card? I can't seem to get mine to work... [02:13] Milos_SD: yes [02:13] brb [02:13] FistMaker: then coming back with all the details, or wait for a reply on the forums === soreau_ is now known as soreau [02:13] fattmoley: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [02:14] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/m77a12031 [02:14] darth10: done, but my browser still does not show java enable pages. [02:15] gregbrady: 64 bits? [02:15] which is the best filesystem for a laptop installation? [02:15] and by best i mean fastest while still being reasonably bulletproof [02:15] level15: yes [02:15] bryan: Sorry, try "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-writer" [02:15] haiiiiiiii [02:15] gregbrady: last time i checked, there was no java plugin for 64 bit linux [02:16] gregbrady, send me the output of 'java -version' [02:16] you could use a browser which uses the JRE directly, konqueror, for example. that should work [02:16] Buster_Hymen: ext3 of course [02:16] ya dat cud work 2... [02:16] Buster_Hymen: i like reiserfs over the rest [02:16] hey guys, I'm in live Damn Small Linux (through VMware) session. how can I run an executable that's stored in on my windows os? [02:16] jrib, well... I only see .bash in my home folder... :S [02:16] mozilla has a jre plugin rite? [02:16] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/m6826b4a0 [02:17] Buster_Hymen: thing to remember about laptops, is crashes due to low battery are common [02:17] Frogzoo, level15 : Those two always seem to come up. what's the big difference between the two? Also, how does JFS compare? [02:17] darth10, Several. [02:17] Milos_SD: dash is what /bin/sh is linked to by default. Your user's shell is still bash by default [02:17] hey is there a wine irc chat?? [02:17] Dante123: #winehq [02:17] !wine | Dante123 [02:17] Frogzoo thanks! [02:17] * jrib looks at ubottu [02:17] darth10: http://www.pastebin.ca/1263265 [02:17] Frogzoo: right. but both ext3 and ReiserFS (and jfs too, if i'm not mistaken) are journaled, right? === Build-A-1ear is now known as Build-A-Bear [02:17] !helpp [02:17] !help [02:17] i have no experience with jfs. i've read/heard that reiserfs is faster than ext3. i have forced checks of ext2 and ext3 so i prefer reiser [02:18] Dante123: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [02:18] jrib, ok... thanks ... So I didn't do anything that will brake my system :) [02:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about helpp [02:18] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [02:18] Milos_SD: nope [02:18] can anyone help me set up openvpn to allow me to get access to my samba shares outside of my network? [02:18] ext3/2 is more mature [02:18] laggy bot is laggy [02:18] but reiser is dying since its lead developer is going to jail, if he's not there already [02:18] i have a bit problem with samba, some body help me ? [02:18] somat: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [02:18] gregbrady, huh seems ok.....get a java plugin for the browser ur using... [02:18] Buster_Hymen: yes, they are all journaled [02:18] level15: reiser's been in jail for ages [02:19] darth10: browser is firefox [02:19] level15: yeah i tried reiser on a test box and it's pretty fast. it's considered as reliable as ext3 right? [02:19] Buster_Hymen: not really [02:19] Buster_Hymen: IMHO, it is more stable than ext3... but you'll find ppl who will tell you otherwise. for me it has worked just fine [02:19] in ubuntu 8.10... when you do modprobe.. is it gonna be permanently configured even when I restart??\ [02:19] what doyou guys do if the website don't run well in firefox or konqueror [02:19] hey guys, I'm in a live session of a generic Linux distro and I don't know how to view a directory (I tried 'ls' and 'cd' and 'dir'). all it says is 'events.cal' [02:19] gregbrady: you can use icedtea6-plugin for example to get java in your browser on 64bit [02:19] r2s: no [02:20] someone537: -ENOCONTEXT [02:20] k [02:20] can you get a browser to work in emacs like a buffer [02:20] jrib : ok, when i open a file in server, and save it, there is an error message -> 'filename' is not a directory [02:20] jrib: How to install that? [02:20] Okay. looks like some google research is in order =) but they're both very well established filesystems, right? [02:20] level15: how to I make them permanently modprobed ?? [02:20] gregbrady: same as everything else, use your favorite package manager such as Synaptic [02:20] jrib: that did nothing. I'm in a Damn Small Linux session thru VMWare player, btw [02:20] jrib: got you. I will try [02:20] somat: I meant to ask the channel [02:21] geeksquad -> elinks and w3m perhaps? [02:21] r2s, add it /etc/modules [02:21] r2s, *to [02:21] possibly not the best channel for this, but everyone in #php seems to be asleep [02:21] can anyone recommend a good PHP IDE that has some form of function/variable name completion...basically some form of Intellisense? [02:21] whats that i just got emacs [02:21] someone537: I meant you aren't providing enough context. But you should ask the damn small linux channel, not the ubuntu channel [02:21] r2s: add them to /etc/modprobe.d/insertyourrelevantfilenamehere [02:21] Thanks [02:21] anyway [02:21] lol ok.. i thought it was a command [02:21] why you run damn small linux [02:21] I am back [02:21] ellipsis -> learn to be patient and wait there [02:21] ellipsis: quanta [02:22] level15: thanks and this is related to my problem detecting/using ZTe MF622 3G/HSDPA Modem... anyone knows a fix??

[02:22] someone537: nope [02:22] r2s: sorry, can't help you with winmodems [02:22] someone537: use an ubuntu live cd and we can help you :) [02:23] ok ok [02:23] diffrent shell maybe [02:23] jrib : ok thank's [02:23] Can someone please help me with my wireless? [02:23] Jordan_U: it still failed http://pastebin.com/m6826b4a0 could this be because there is still 3.0 package remnants? [02:23] do you guys think ubuntu is better than kubuntu? if yes, why? [02:23] !ask | mewshi [02:23] mewshi: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[02:25] Well, it keeps randomly disconnecting, and, a lot of the time, it disconnects when I launch anything that doesn't use HTTP (like Thunderbird, Pidgin, or IRC). Also, I cannot *access* these protocols via the wireless; the wired connection, however, works just fine! Please help :( [02:25] kde is just blue basically [02:25] blue gnome [02:25] lol [02:25] I need help with a praphics issue [02:26] someone537: complexity [02:26] whenever i use acceleration it flashes [02:26] more complex than gnome then? more capable?

[02:30] anyone knows of a repository to upgrade to openoffice.org 3 (intrepid)? other than launchpad, it is not working [02:30] geeksquad: try #emacs [02:30] thefawk, just get the installer from openoffice.org === zz_kEEGAn is now known as kEEGAn [02:31] can anyone help me? Has anyone even bothered to answer? [02:31] mewshi: yes, several people actually [02:31] mewshi: if i knew, i'd say something... the thing is, i don't [02:31] mewshi, did you read the link the bot gave you? [02:31] jrib people are just lurking there [02:31] mewshi, pay attention. [02:31] geeksquad: be patient === baccenfutter is now known as backenfutter [02:31] Yes [02:31] that doesn't even begin to deal with my problem [02:32] i am a very impatint 9 yr old [02:32] !wireless | mewshi [02:32] mewshi: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:32] read those docs mewshi [02:32] so hurry [02:32] it sees the device [02:32] but it keeps dropping the connection [02:33] And I can't use irc except through a web client. Can't use Thunderbird... [02:33] mewshi heck the hardware [02:33] What do you mean? [02:33] meant check [02:33] mewshi: that last issue sounds more like a firewall issue [02:33] It used to work fine [02:33] no [02:33] I think it's something with the card, because whenever I try to use irc on the wireless, it drops out === evolutionx is now known as EvolutionXtinct [02:34] mewshi: are you using a public network? [02:34] check the cables and find out in anyone a a device that is interfering [02:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 mewshi [02:34] Yes, it's a public (university) network [02:34] how do I set the default imageviewer in 8.1? [02:35] meant if anyone has a interfereing device [02:35] *image viewer === stygian is now known as arktvrvs [02:35] mewshi: maybe the network admin things that's malicious traffic and decides to disconnect clients sending it [02:35] No, because it does this everywhere, all the time [02:35] no, I asked them, they don't block those ports. And who would block SMTP traffic? [02:35] And that STILL wouldn't solve the problem of my wireless connecting, on average, every 45 seconds [02:36] how can i install proftpd without having to add users .. IE: use the userinfo thats already in the machine thats been building up when i add users ? [02:36] mewshi: then, no, sorry, I am clueless abt the cause of your issues [02:36] mewshi a retarded idiot [02:36] is the compiz burn effect gone in 8.10? [02:36] the fire one i thin is gone [02:36] Disconnecting* [02:36] :-( [02:36] what's diff between wubi and normal install [02:36] anyone know a minimalistic GUI email client?

[02:37] webmail ftw [02:37] nope the geeks have been met [02:37] !ftw [02:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about ftw [02:37] but wubi ubuntu is running faster than normal ubuntu? [02:37] sachael, mutt [02:37] geeksquad: for the win. :) [02:38] Is there a way to adjust overscan in gnome? there is black space on the edges of the TV [02:38] oh [02:38] mewshi, we have given you some docs to read; you have provided very sparse info and have not said what errors you have received nor what you have tried [02:38] sachael, xmail [02:38] usser, thanks, I know mutt, never found time to learn it, but im looking for GUI [02:38] sachael, err not xmail, xmail is something else [02:38] oh, ok I'lll check it out [02:38] curses is GUI ;D [02:38] mewshi: you need to ask a question. Most people have no idea what they should or should not have an idea about when you ask that [02:38] mewshi, so in that context, just repeating 'anyone?' will not get any help [02:38] anyone have troubles with graphics flashing during games [02:38] on ipod yes in motochaser lol [02:39] hey guys, i'm in a VMWare player sessiono ubuntu 8.04 and all i see is the mouse cursor and an orange background. any ideas? === Adrian_ is now known as Adrian [02:39] It's not giving me any errors [02:39] That's all the info I have [02:39] if there's something you want me to tell you, then ask [02:39] if you want me to run a command, tell me [02:39] !info netbeans [02:39] mewshi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:39] mindrape: thanks. just what i wanted to hear [02:39] How do I fix my god damn wireless, that's my question! [02:39] I need help on this...http://paste.ubuntu.com/75060/ [02:39] mewshi, read the links, and try what they say; then report what errors you receive [02:39] mewshi - sudo ifconfig do you have a wlan device? sudo iwconfig is it connected to an AP? [02:40] mewshi, no cursing here please [02:40] My ZTE MF622 3G modem was detected as using the ohci_hcd not ehci_hcd or uhci_hcd [02:40] akahig2: maybe different sampling interval, maybe some of them are averagin over all cores [02:40] Pici -> ok thanks for confirming, ..am getting an auth.log entry every 5 minutes and i only have one entry in my crontab and as you have said its 10 minutes intervals [02:40] There isn't anything to do with them! For christ's sake, the drivers are there. But it keeps disconnecting at random, and NONE of those docs help at all! [02:40] !botsnack | windows [02:40] windows: Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [02:40] I've gone through those docs already, they are useless [02:40] mewshi - dmesg - what does it say just after a disconnect occurs? [02:40] yay [02:41] n8tuser: Hm. I've never checked auth.log against my crontab schedules, I'm not sure if this is normal or not, sorry. [02:41] so, now we wait for it to disconnect [02:42] mewshi: yea, dmesg | tail -f [02:42] Is there a way of getting a lost of skipped files from a transfer ? [02:42] List* [02:42] mewshi, what wireless chipset do u have? [02:42] does anyone have anyu ideas on how i can migrate all my users from one server to another? like the /etc/passwd /etc/group goes ok, but my /etc/shadow is a tough one, copying over the file doesnt seem to work, as the password are all broken, anyone know how to migrate a /etc/shadow from one server to another? [02:42] level15: is there any way of isolating what's causing firefox to be consuming all the CPU? nothing's changed in the last few days except changing the flash plugin (as part of the pulseaudio fix) [02:43] akahig2: ive only had that problem with PDF's occasionally [02:43] and in that case it seems to be a bug with the pdf viewer [02:43] akahig2: flash is always my prime suspect... but let's face it, firefox has never been exactly resource friendly [02:43] arktvrvs: the off the chart cpu consumption? [02:43] crontab to wireless man [02:44] alex|xela: what are the source and destination OS's? [02:44] alex|xela: do you have a gshadow file? [02:44] usser: it's an Atheros 928X [02:44] akahig2: yes, as well as sucking up hundred of megs of page files [02:44] page file* [02:44] mewshi, nvm... then i have intel. sorry [02:45] level15: that's true, but FF3 has been much easier on the resources than v2. should the flash plugin be load if nothing has called it, or does it load on startup? [02:45] level15: debian -> ubuntu [02:45] mewshi: you should check your syslog, or do dmesg | tail -f [02:45] and see what exactly if anything your box sees when your wireless goes down [02:45] arktvrvs: I'm lucky there. swap and tmp usage is minimal [02:45] ASULutzy: yes i do [02:45] alex|xela: you should copy that too then :) [02:46] anything else? [02:46] Hmmm, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow /etc/group /etc/gshadow... maybe /var/spool/mail [02:46] hey guys, i'm in a VMWare player sessiono ubuntu 8.04 and all i see is the mouse cursor and an orange background. any ideas? [02:46] should i install a normal installation other than wubi installation? and why? === vincent is now known as Guest37413 [02:47] alex|xela: and of course /home (if needed) [02:47] http://pastebin.com/f6db6483d <- this is what dmesg gives me [02:47] someone537: i think gnome failed to load completely [02:47] how can I print the current ruleset of iptables? [02:47] ASULutzy: pw auth, mainly out of postifx [02:47] fix* [02:47] error404notfound: iptables -L [02:47] which ties into /etc/shadow [02:48] metbsd: wubi stinks, I wouldn't use it, I'm sure there's a huge FAQ on Wubi [02:48] metbsd: wubi installation will perform like a normal installation on a slower HD. If you're installing just to play around and learn, wubi is fine. If you want to use Ubuntu as your primary OS or for high performance applications, you should do a normal install. [02:48] i see [02:48] ASULutzy, why? [02:48] metbsd: Performance reasons, data loss reasons, etc [02:48] I'd like to memorize somehow certain command lines for the terminal so that when I hit one key up pops the command. Is there any way I can do this???? [02:48] so in wubi enviroment, software runs slower than in normal enviroment? [02:49] metbsd: If your entire operating system resides on an NTFS partition that Windows has full read/write access to (and has all the nice fragmentation issues that NTFS still gets) [02:49] DavidCanarias: you are talking about history [02:49] it is default behavior for bash. [02:49] metbsd: On a file on that partition that is [02:49] ASULutzy, except for ntfs fragment, anything else? [02:49] arktvrvs: I don't like history very much!!! jejejej How's that I don't understand? [02:49] DavidCanarias: you could setup an alias for a single letter... ie; if you pushed k it would run a huge command. [02:49] so, based on this http://pastebin.com/f6db6483d does anyone have a clue what's wrong? :( [02:49] DavidCanarias: in your terminal, press UP [02:50] metbsd: The fact that a program or virus in Windows could destroy your entire Linux install [02:50] metbsd: no, it only loads more slowly. Also, if your computer were to crash you're more likely to lose data (or your windows installation could corrupt your wubi file). Like I said, wubi is fine for playing and getting a feel, but it isn't good for your primary OS. [02:50] mindrape: That's what I want to do, but how. [02:50] DavidCanarias: .bashrc [02:50] metbsd: Or the fact that you are sort of counting on a single file in a Windows install not getting hosed... That's reason enough for me [02:50] man it [02:50] arktvrvs: press UP???? [02:50] Yeah, the up arrow [02:50] Yes, UP. The key with the arrow on it [02:51] mindrape: Do I go to terminal and type in .bashrc? And then what [02:51] mewshi: i was experiencing the same kind of issues with my laptop after i upgraded to 8.10... same deauthenticated msg. never got to fix them, though, since my laptop's video card burnt [02:51] so i guess wubi is ok for me, i don't want linux be my primary os [02:51] echo "alias k='some long command'" >> .bashrc [02:51] Just kill me... please... it's the humane thing to do... [02:51] * mindrape kills mewshi... with fire. [02:51] Ah OK guys the UP key and this seems to remember the last command === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:51] hi, my sound doesnt work, its not the hardware, what can i do? ive had it before [02:51] metbsd: I guess, I don't think any experienced users in here would recommend the Wubi route, but your choice [02:51] Is there a way of getting a list of skipped files from a transfer ? [02:51] If I and someone else log into an ssh shell server, can we speak with eachother in the shell? and if so, how? [02:52] DavidCanarias: type the command history [02:52] DavidCanarias: Really??? :D [02:52] donjr_KS: man talk [02:52] Hi guys. I am having a problem with my EeePC 901 since an update some weeks ago. My wifi card doesn't start. I press Fn-F2 and first, I see "Your wireless adapter is being enabled".. then "restarted" instead of "enabled", then "your wireless adapter has failed to return. Please reboot" [02:52] say thanks [02:52] Does anyone know why this can be happening? I tried installing "eee-control" instead of "eeepc-config", and also reinstalling the wireless driver. No success [02:52] <_Zeus_> donjr_KS: you can use 'tell' [02:52] <_Zeus_> oh wait [02:52] what can i do about my sound not working? [02:52] why can't I see tvtime's output from a another pc on vnc ? [02:52] how can i make firefox to have the minimize,maximize and close buttons ? All the other application have that but firefox windows do not. [02:52] level15: You can see I am a newbie!!!! Sorry [02:52] mewshi: Have you done any googling? [02:53] mewshi -> try iwpriv and if any of those parameters is related to your disconnects, maybe signal treshold is too high? [02:53] B|ackPanther, Is Firefox fullscreen perhaps? [02:53] So, no one has any clue? [02:53] how can i install proftpd without having to add users .. IE: use the userinfo thats already in the machine thats been building up when i add users ? [02:53] DavidCanarias: sorry, JK. I didn't mean to make you feel bad [02:53] B|ackPanther, Hit F11. [02:53] what's iwpriv? o.o' [02:53] mindrape: Thanks for this info. It's great and what I need really. [02:53] B|ackPanther: What Window Manager? [02:53] im gonna break my rusty cage [02:53] and run [02:53] mewshi: http://www.mail-archive.com/ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org/msg00220.html http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=930155&page=2 try googling [02:53] metbsd: personally, I prefer to have a single OS installed on my machine and use virtual machines for other operating systems instead of dual booting. [02:53] my sound is gone, what shoul i do?? [02:53] level15: No problem. One of the things I really like about Linux community is how helpful it is!! [02:53] unfortunately this makes me remember of Windows.. [02:54] should* [02:54] no one has any idea of what the OS is doing.. :( [02:54] apeiron, hitting f11 makes the windows occupy the whole screen. [02:54] keewee: only if you dont know how it works :) [02:54] Falstius, why [02:54] apeiron,it is not full screen [02:54] HOW DO I FIX MY SOUND??? [02:54] [02:54] B|ackPanther, Okay, thought that that was the problem. :) [02:54] !caps [02:54] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [02:54] nbeebo: try figuring ou whats wrong with it first. [02:54] Twar3,am using compiz [02:55] keewee - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693578 [02:55] how do i get compiz to work? [02:55] it doesnt work, its not the hardware and volume is at max [02:55] metbsd: if you have to reboot to use windows or linux, you probably won't. If you have it as a VM, it is easy to jump from one to another and you can manage resources better. [02:55] nbeebo: lspci <-- is it recognized? [02:55] Any error messages? [02:55] nbeebo: alsamixer in a terminal ? [02:55] ill check, i had it before on this install btw [02:55] nbeebo - are you sure the volume is max? type alsamixer at a command line [02:55] metbsd: the only good reason to dual boot a personal machine is if you want to use Linux as your primary OS but there are windows games you can't run in wine and can't live without. [02:55] yes alsamixer there [02:56] Sorry guys, but in terminal and typing history up pops all the commands with numbers. When I type in the number I want it says command not found. Why? [02:56] Would reinstalling firefox help ? [02:56] arktvrvs: well... so it is still an OS made for people who understands it... thought linux would be somehow better :( [02:56] DavidCanarias: what shell are you using? [02:56] DavidCanarias: that is just for reference... its showing you chronologically the commands you've run. If you want to run one just push the up arrow key a ridiculous number of times. [02:56] keewee: at least linux has tons of docs and encourage you to learn it :) [02:56] B|ackPanther: Are you using the Window Decorator in Compiz? [02:56] DavidCanarias, type a ! in front of the number [02:56] as opposed to the 'other' os [02:56] is there a command i can use to paste things into terminal? [02:56] its safe to purge alsamixer then install it again? [02:56] instead of clicking, then paste [02:57] DavidCanarias, you can also type !! for the last command [02:57] metbsd, I concur with Falstius regarding dualbooting. [02:57] keewee: Try learning, open a terminal, check what dmesg says, etc. [02:57] d0netsFN: shift+insert.. try it [02:57] Twar3,No,am not using that. [02:57] mindrape: thanks, I have those guides, used a windows driver but it made every WPA2 router crash [02:57] Today's machines have more than enough oomph behind them to virtualize. Many chips even have hardware accelerated virtualization. [02:57] very nice, thanks arktvrvs [02:57] np [02:57] someone wanna help me over: http://pastebin.com/m2ae8f4f5 ? [02:57] Thanks again, I have it under control now. Cheers everyone....... [02:57] keewee - so right now is it connected? sudo iwconfig [02:57] metbsd: I use a dual boot and love it, I'm in Windows atm because a friend wants to game for a bit, but for everything else I use Linux. Also, remember you can have a VM inside Ubuntu easily boot your Windows local install [02:58] how do i reinstall alsa driver? [02:58] Twar3,Sorry,i was using it.Just checked. [02:58] nbeebo - you can just dpkg-reconfigure it. [02:58] arktvrs: I don't have time. It's not easy. I learn sometimes, when I can... but problems shouldn't come out of nowhere [02:58] d0netsFN: shift+insert, also ctrl+shift+v works [02:58] keewee: what problems are you having? [02:58] its alsa dpkg-reconfigure? [02:58] nbeebo - otherwise just sudo apt-cache search alsa for it [02:58] arktvrs: (anyway) [02:58] anyone knows what type of USB does ohic_hcd.. is it USB 1 or 1.1 ?? [02:58] sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa probably [02:58] lsusb r2s [02:58] yes i aptitude searched for it trying to find correct name [02:59] now how do i upgrade everything [02:59] mindrape: nope, it's not connected. I don't have the windows drivers now, uninstalled them because of those problems. [02:59] was /bin/login and /bin/su updated around the 15th of this month? [02:59] keewee - what is the make/model of the card? [02:59] I have some conflicting hashes in rkhunter [02:59] metbsd: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [02:59] mindrape: This is because I got this MF622 3G data card and ubuntu 8.10 detect it as ohci_hcd type [02:59] mindrape, it says "eth0 no wireless connection" and also "lo ..same" [02:59] ASULutzy: last time I had a machine with windows installed, running the install on a VM was a risky operation with a fair chance of data corruption. It has been a while :) [03:00] metbsd: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [03:00] Falstius: Eh, I do it all the time on my work laptop, work lappy came with native Windows install, virtualbox makes it easy... Forget the exact syntax, but it's basically VBoxManage something /dev/thedisk [03:00] mindrape, rt2860 [03:00] wow [03:00] keewee - looking [03:00] you guys are amazing support [03:00] how do i get compiz to work? [03:00] Can anyone recommend any CD repro for burning CD's thats easy and trouble free to use? [03:00] Falstius: There could potentially be issue with installing the VM tools, and HAL issues, but eh [03:00] i asked a question fuckin 20 mins ago [03:00] creative2bad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:00] no replies [03:00] thanks [03:00] metbsd: what do you mean by 'work'? [03:01] nbeebo:install ubuntu-modules and alsa-firmware loaders, restart hal [03:01] !language [03:01] some body help me ? when i open a file on server with samba-server and save it there is error -> "filename is not a directory" client using intrepid ibex [03:01] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:01] arktvrvs, my wireless card doesn't turn on.. [03:01] hi I need some help configuring my EEE [03:01] ill try that thanks [03:01] How can i force a reinstall of firefox ? [03:01] keewee - is the card detected in lspci? [03:01] i mean , i want to see how it works, how to get it to work, how to use it, whatever. hehe [03:01] my eee ethernet connection won't work [03:01] keewee: ah, that is odd [03:02] i sometimes have issues with my wireless as well [03:02] mindrape, no, it is turned off [03:02] keewee - look in /sys/devices/platform/ for something along the lines of your wireless card... [03:02] hey guys: i'm in a live ubuntu (thru vmware) session. i dont think it can see any of my files on the windows platform it's hosted from. any ideas on how i can get it to use a few select files? [03:02] I've turned off roaming mode, enabled dhcp any thing else that I can try? [03:02] keewee - you can't manually turn it on w a switch on your laptop or something?

Any other I can use? [03:03] nothing is helping :( [03:03] fluvvell, nope, it doesn't. it is turned off, i suppose [03:04] DavidCanarias: What is the problem with K3b? [03:04] keewee can you turn it on in bios so linux can see it? if its not in dmesg or lspci we have a lot of investigating to do :) [03:04] DavidCanarias: see: [03:04] !burn [03:04] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based).

[03:05] re "CD/DVD Burning software" [03:05] K3B was burning and throwing an error and wouldn't burn [03:05] DavidCanaria: see ubottu for !burn, it's a trigger, not a prog [03:06] ASULutzy: What is dd [03:06] !dd | DavidCanarias [03:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about dd [03:06] DavidCanarias: what was the error? (it seems better to try and fix your problem then to waste time trying 20 other programs, K3B works very well IMO) [03:06] !info dd [03:06] Package dd does not exist in intrepid [03:06] DasEi: what is a trigger?

[03:08] tried it no dice [03:08] mindrape, fluvvell, now it works. So the problem is with the command that turns it on and off? (well, I supposed that before, tried using another function key script) [03:08] erickvp - run vlc from command line... no infomsgs? maybe strace vlc from command line?

[03:11] fluvvell, then I pressed fnf2 and it turned the adapter off and on again... now it doesn't do that sequence of "restarting wireless card" but it doesn't find networks.. fnf2 again and it turns the adapter on again (without turning off :s ) cannot find networks.. [03:11] whats 'ubuntu modules'? [03:12] probably kernel modules. [03:12] where it says hit menu to play the movie or you get the previews and then its done [03:12] so if someone tells me to install ubuntu modules, i should do what? [03:12] mewshi - have you messed w any of the following settings on your router? beacon interval? rts threshold? [03:12] nbeebo - modprobe modulename [03:12] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-modules? [03:12] keewee, there should be a time delay after turning it on before it finds networks. All scans take some time. [03:13] keewee, is the adaptor in roaming mode?

[04:00] sry: "sudo easytag /media/XXX" [04:00] cvd : sure about the (too short looking) uuid ? k, line then is : [04:00] desperation [04:00] AnnoyingMouse, I installed it just for you, as default as it gets ;) . You should reset the ownership of those files you were working on to yourself, then try running easytag again as a normal user, with no directory [04:00] gaelfx: get the source package, and modify it (note that I highly advise against this approach) [04:00] tritium: How can I find out then if there is a newer version [04:00] k. i'll try [04:01] tritium: but what program do I use to edit it? [04:01] google is often helpful. [04:01] i did lsmod and all these were 0; sky2, snd_seq_dummy, snd_seq_oss, snd_seq_midi and snd_pcm_oss [04:01] thanks mindrape, arktvrvs, nickrud, the problem was with the script that toggles the wireless... found the way to fix it [04:01] cvd : UUID=D664-FA0B /media/files vfat auto,user, rw 0 0 [04:01] DavidCanarias: there won't be a newer version in the repository unless there is a major bug fix or security fix, until the next releasy [04:01] tritium: I'm going to use the list posted at packages.ubuntu.com to check against and find out what is wrong with the packages dependcy list [04:01] <_2> gaelfx if you have to ask that,...

FAT32 disk [04:02] nm is perhaps networkmanager? [04:02] tritium: everytime I download compiz-core, the dependencies are wrong, I need to fix it to install that and be able to do any more updates [04:02] gaelfx: a text editor to edit the files under the /debian directory in the source package [04:02] i am trying to setup a program via configure that keeps asking for a sap3r NOT found, module sapr3 disabled [04:02] nickrud:when i tried executing using url: localhost/cgi-bin/pgm.pl ,url not found on this server is the o/p..

[04:35] tritium: when i go into the nvidia settings it lists as 1920x1080 and 50hz...this is a newer plasma tv shouldnt it be 60hz minimum? i think it's just the fact that i need to add a line to xorg.conf [04:35] plug-ins to my sound car* [04:35] linguini: ifconfig [04:35] arktvrvs: if you have a dual display, both monitors would show the same thing [04:35] ah, i see [04:36] nbeebo: sudo apt-get install alsa-firmware-loaders [04:36] cobb28: you can try tweaking modelines.

Can you tell me if 'ifconfig -a' only shows the loopback interface (and not eth0/eth1), need I look elsewhere?

I know that my cable modem and my ethernet cable work because they allow my desktop to connect without an issue. I have [04:50] tried removing the battery and power cable and letting my eee sit for 10 minutes before reconnecting them and booting. here is the output from my terminal after an ifconfig and a couple pings http://pastebin.com/m16a7de0c any ideas? [04:50] * dr_willis wonders if EEE-ubuntu has its own channel [04:50] !eee [04:50] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [04:50] dombre - i have the same model [04:50] i have mine working fine [04:51] do an ifconfig and see if your ethernet adapter is showing [04:51] i've done that it is [04:51] so.. i guess i have sound.. maybe had all along, if i have mixer to max i get lil bit sound, but ALOT of background noice, i guess its because of the hardware [04:51] check your broadband modem - some need you to power off between disconnecting and reconnecting a new device [04:52] here in australia some optus cable modems dont have inbult DHCP service [04:53] nbeebo: don' think so , check in alsamixer: - the icons above sliders are green -pcm is risen - check input/output switches [04:53] so you need to power cycle the modem if you want to connect a new device and have an ip lease refreshed [04:53] interesting I'll give it a shot thanks [04:53] dase1: ok hope it works [04:54] its crappy -if this is the case see if you can upgrade your modem [04:54] why won't my computer mount dvd -r disks? [04:54] I'll just get a switch that should fix the problem. [04:54] I just haven't needed one until now.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:59] thx [05:00] Vinceman, you mean 'region' code? :) some of the media players under linux make that un needed.. the mplayer faq i belive mentions region codes.. [05:00] dr_willis: Its a python web framework. Not sure, i was just curious, because for many things it seems ubuntu repos have "one master version" and for many things this is a bit of a hindrance. Given that TG1 and TG2 differ greatly [05:00] Can i mask bash/script file to enter in three keys?? (f5, mouse 1, mouse 1)?? is this possible [05:00] Vinceman: no need for it in linux [05:00] Jordan_U: i'm back: are you able to continue helping me with openoffice?

[05:01] dr_willis, DasE1 but still my program says it cannot read from source [05:01] Vinceman, i just rip dvd to avi and be done with it.. :) [05:01] where is ubuntu-es [05:01] can someone help with installing openoffice? i have kubuntu intrepid which came with 2.4. today, i tried to upgrade to 3.0 and it failed, now i can't install 2.4 or 3.0 [05:02] bryan: Sure [05:02] bryan - what error message did you get? [05:02] Cannot join #ubuntu-es (You are banned). ? [05:02] dr_willis: I would like to make a bash script file to enter in three different keys every 1 second. in order: hit f5, wait one second, hit mouse 1 (left click), wait one second, hit mouse 1, one second, and repeat. Is this possible? [05:02] its amazing the # of people that have issues with OOO3 :) [05:02] dase1: its a common hardware problem tho, if plug isnt fully connected with sound card theres like 1/3 sound [05:02] what's the command for ripping dr_willis? [05:03] Jordan_U, diazepam: this is where we left off: it still failed http://pastebin.com/m6826b4a0 [05:03] but heck I have them on DVD they should work! [05:03] Does anyone know what command I can use to find out if a file is a directory, regular file, or other? [05:03] sug1, your use of the term 'to enter' is confuseing.. You want a script to be a macro that 'inputs F5, then clicks?' ive seen no bash method of doing that.. some other tools may be able to do 'macros' like that.. [05:04] Vinceman, i tend to use k9copy actually.. or dvdrip [05:04] nbeebo: mostly mono , or tackle the plug, but so far everything looks right, unless you haven't muted / unswitched anything [05:05] dr_willis: yes, like an macro. sorry for my poor terms. Would you happen to know what such tools to do such macro actions? [05:05] Does anyone know what command I can use to find out if a file is a directory, regular file, or other? [05:05] I just reformatted my laptop and installed Intrepid Ibex ... but now my Wireless adapter no longer connects to wireless networks [05:05] please help [05:05] bryan - do you see the package listed when you do a: apt-cache search openoffice | grep writer [05:05] bungieQord: file filename file directoryname [05:06] zetheroo: does it connect to wired networks? [05:06] Diazepam: no result came back on that command [05:06] bungieQord: test [05:06] bryan - have you updated your distro lately? [05:06] luke-jr: the laptop is online atm ... [05:06] Diazepam: yes, it's current as of today [05:07] bryan - have you done an: $sudo aptitude update [05:07] luke-jr: I have another USB wireless dongle plugged in that is alowing me to be online [05:07] luke-jr: but the internal Atheros chip is not working properly [05:07] Diazepam: i did a sudo apt-get update [05:07] luke-jr: even though the proprietary driver is installed and active [05:07] zetheroo: I don't support illegal drivers. [05:08] bryan - checked your repositories to ensure they are enabled and reflect the current distro? [05:08] luke-jr: well actually its not propietary ... I meant the default driver [05:08] zetheroo: does 'iwlist scan' do much? [05:09] Diazepam: they are the current distro plus unsupported updates enabled [05:09] luke-jr: my internal card allows me to see wireless networks but not connect to them ... in Hardy there was no problems [05:09] hm [05:09] Diazepam, bryan: "ubuntu" is the distro, which doesn't change. The release is the aspect that changes. [05:10] nbeebo: if you're not right with faulty hardware, you can rebuild alsa as a last try with a standard ausio, follow :http://paste.ubuntu.com/75092/ [05:10] *audio [05:10] tritium - thanks for the grammar lesson [05:10] Diazepam: no grammar involved [05:10] it complained of 2 versions of sysctl.conf i modifid [05:10] Diazepam: i'm using kubuntu intrepid... sources.list is correctly pointing to intrepid [05:10] and saved original [05:11] so will the .swp file will be discarded automatically [05:11] tritium: i'm using kubuntu intrepid... sources.list is correctly pointing to intrepid [05:11] i dnt see /etc/ folder [05:11] bryan - what about other packages - can you install mutt or something else? [05:11] bryan: ok [05:12] I have the Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) [05:12] dase1: if it doesnt work i can just reinstall the drivers i have now? [05:12] zetheroo: what issue are you having with it? [05:12] I need a macro application. Does anyone know of an application to do this? [05:13] zetheroo: see the ubuntu 8.10 release notes for the AR5212. There is a required work-around if you suspend/resume. [05:13] tritium: since installing Intrepid I can no longer connect to visable wireless networks [05:13] hey seems like i can no longer make exe shell scripts, a simple #!/bin/sh echo "hello" gives this : echo: bad interpreter: No such file or directory [05:13] tritium: I can see wireless networks but cannot connect to them [05:14] chuckc, be sure theres no extra characters - what editor did you use? ive see extra characters added if using notepad.exe or other windows editors. [05:14] zetheroo: at any time? Do you suspend/resume? [05:14] nbeebo: backup /etc/modules and /var/lib/alsa/asound.state , if you want to be ultra-sure, but I don't think you have to [05:14] zetheroo: this is what I was referring to: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#Wireless%20doesn%27t%20work%20after%20suspend%20with%20ath_pci%20driver [05:14] sug1 - there are plugins for firefox that allow for gui-macro building (for web based stuf) [05:14] tritium: at any time [05:14] @dr_willis created in vi , i also created a guest account, logged in, created same script and ran it fine, [05:14] zetheroo: that's strange. I too have AR5212, and it works. === Diazepam is now known as diazepam_away [05:15] tritium: I'll get to resume/suspend issues when I can connect [05:15] Diazepam: just installed ksudoku [05:15] chuckc, try #!/bin/bash perhaps [05:15] dase1: well i switched to my main speakers now, and it works much better [05:16] nbeebo: see above ^_^, [05:16] dr_willis yeah, no go, actually trying to create python scripts led me to this, they won't run either [05:17] dase1: ill remember that... but i call it done ;)) [05:17] chuckc, thats really weird..

[06:03] gpled - if so sudo tail -f /var/log/messages [06:03] mindrape: yes [06:03] then try to sudo /etc/init.d/./gdm restart [06:04] do that in a separate terminal [06:04] you can ALT F2-F6 to get to various standard terms [06:04] Ctrl-Alt-F1 works as well. (Why does everyone forget v.c. 1?) [06:04] mindrape: do you remember the command to get the mouse working in terminal? [06:04] gdm, or something [06:06] gpled - gdm is the gnome display manager [06:07] tritium - its mainly for troubleshooting on bootup. [06:07] tritium - by default I config mine to get console errors written there. [06:07] mindrape: no, only during install is that true [06:07] it's not a usable terminal according to standard unix implementations that I've been around. [06:07] ? [06:07] V.C. 1 is just as valid as 2 -- 6 for use. [06:07] tritium - maybe in your little world. [06:07] mindrape: no [06:07] mine is config'd for errmsgs. [06:08] mindrape: that did the trick [06:08] and that is how all the implementations I've used have been. [06:08] thanks [06:08] np [06:08] mindrape: easy on the condescending statements, buddy [06:08] tritium - right back at ya. [06:09] pal.... [06:09] mindrape: I've not made any [06:09] oh really, buddy? [06:09] Drop it, mindrape. [06:09] likewise... [06:09] you have to get the last sentence in apparently... [06:09] you can just /ignore me if you dont like my point of view on v.c.1 [06:10] you could have done the same [06:10] orly? [06:11] akahig2, why you wanna do that? [06:11] I wasn't the one that got butt hurt over vc1 being left out as an option. [06:11] mindrape: again, drop it. You're offtopic. [06:11] and I wasnt the one that insinuated stupidity for leaving it out as an option without realizing its purpose in standard unix. [06:11] tritium - you are the one continuing it. [06:11] I'm fine dropping it... you are the one that keeps going. [06:11] * tritium looks at the last several lines (they're yours) [06:12] looks at the last line... it's yours. [06:12] * mindrape does that [06:12] mindrape: do you know what you're talking about? VC1 is for console... you can configure it anyway you'd like, but it's a normal terminal like F2-6... [06:12] metbsd: because 3.0.4 is consuming a huge amount of CPU cycles and the previous version did not. am searching for ways to fix the problem, and that seemed like a good place to start.

[06:26] ardchoille: yes [06:26] tritium: I'm guessing apt-file is better? [06:27] ardchoille: they serve different purposes. apt-file is for packages you don't have installed. dpkg -S is for packages you *do* have installed [06:27] ah, that helps [06:27] tritium: thank you [06:27] Sure.

But from what I understand about lvm, it's good for encrypting and it's good if you want to be able to add and remove space from a partition. So... if he suddenly decides he needs 200 GB, he can add a 250GB HD to the 30GB LVm and then easily extend the partition.

I want it to run every 1 hour between 7 - 16, the rest of the hours every 15 minutes - thanks [07:24] when I open a program of any kind it opens with the window border underneath the top gnome panel ... how do i stop this from happening? [07:24] !ipv6 [07:24] To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [07:24] yanchoABC, you could always have more han one cron entry. i dont know how to do what you want with only one [07:24] platius: thank you, is there a GUI version as well? [07:25] yanchoABC☃ I second the... second cron-job idea [07:25] srx2002; probably but not sure what [07:25] hi [07:25] how are u all [07:25] i am good, thank you [07:25] any body help me in registration of my nic === darkbishop_ is now known as darkdeepeer [07:26] nick* [07:26] hateball: i'm sorry for pm u, thanx for the help :) [07:26] ok, thanks [07:28] yanchoABC you would prolly need 2 crons to acheive that but it wouldnt be hard, as long as they didnt clash, depending on the process === andi is now known as Guest25113 [07:28] Hi, I [07:28] koshari: no the process is not long .. but i just dont want it to run every 15mins during office hours [07:29] I'm currently looking at three music players: quod libet, sonata, and gmpc. My needs are ipod/mtp device support, low resource usage, folder monitoring. Any thoughts on my top 3 candidates? [07:29] hey. have they fixed the ext mointor flashes once one you open up movie player yet? [07:30] is it something like : * 0 * * * path/to/php file.php and */15 * * * * path/to/php file.php <-- but this will run at every 15mins no matter the time right koshari ? [07:30] off topic: vlc is pretty good === nic is now known as Nic [07:30] try switching [07:30] Hello, can someone help me get my floppy drive working please? [07:30] yanchoABC no at the 15 minute of every hour as i understand [07:31] I've just installed Intrepid on a friend's Acer Aspire One, but we've been having some problems with it. Graphics are very jerky, e.g. in Youtube videos and playing extreme tux racer. Also the wifi is very variable, ranging from 50% to 90% even though the AP is very near by. Can anyone suggest anything we can try? Otherwise we're going to have to go back to Linpus. [07:32] okay i fixed my own problem via a post i found via google. Apparently the setting in playback "Use video as timebase" can cause tv playback to be fast. Thanks anyway... time to get back to Smallville [07:32] yanchoABC http://www.csgnetwork.com/crongen.html [07:32] koshri... [07:32] how can i register my nick [07:33] koshari: thanks for the link .. but it doesnt allow specifying different hour times :( [07:33] yanchoABC you can use commas === jan is now known as Guest19129 [07:35] hi [07:35] sup? [07:35] yanchoABC ie 15,30,45 0 0 0 ect [07:36] so are we saying : 1 7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 * * * path/to/php file.php and 15,30,45,59 1,2,3,4,5,6,,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24 * * * path/to/php file.php [07:37] so first part runs every 1st minute of the hour during office hours (7 - 16) and 2nd command runs every 15 minutes the rest of hours [07:37] yanchoABC thata a bit messy , i would use 2 tabs/ [07:37] qwertyface: As for the wifi, I've found that network manager is not as reliable as windows ever. Even when using lower level tools like iwlist scan it still reports lower values than windows from a similar distance. [07:38] koshari: the and means a new crontab === nathanael is now known as natschil === root__ is now known as IamZzzZ [07:39] yanchoABC: ok [07:39] oOarthurOo: It worked fine under Linpus. I [07:40] koshari: so it should be good like that right? [07:40] oOarthurOo: I'm going to have a hard time persuading him to stick with ubuntu if I can't make it work right [07:40] Sharp_eyes__: "/msg nickserv register " [07:41] yanchoABC test it. if the syntax if wrong it will let you know, just use a line like, ls /home/mydir or something denign [07:41] benign [07:41] o0arthur0o it say ur password is not walid [07:41] valid [07:41] qwertyface: Not everyone needs to use Ubuntu. It has advantages and disadvantages like every other OS. I've used Debian and Ubuntu and have simply gotten used to misreported wifi strengths. [07:41] I'm having a problem getting my computer to start X. I had to reset the BIOS in order to get rid of a password that I set, but couldn't remember, and now, X goes to start, and the screen just goes blank. [07:41] anyone know what the program that allows you to create logic graphs is called [07:41] I'm practising some term commands ....having a small problem...I just did " man df " and scrolled doan at the bottom of the manual...but how do i get back to the prompt [07:42] Mez, what kind of logic graph? [07:42] Mez: logic graphs? maybe mindmaps? [07:42] srx2002: press 'q' [07:42] Mez: dia? open office? kivio? [07:42] lol, duhhhh [07:42] brain dead [07:42] thanks for the support koshari :) [07:42] Well, It lets you say, plot the classes of a program, and draw lines between them etc [07:42] :D [07:42] Mez: umbrello possibly [07:43] ER diagrams :D [07:43] dia and umbrello sound familiar (I thought graphviz for starters!) [07:43] umbrello is for UML modelling [07:44] oOarthurOo: Yeah, I'm a bit embarassed that Ubuntu hasn't worked as well as I said it would though. I don't think the strength is misreported, the throughput is low as well. It's strange, because there's lots of reports of successes with the Acer Aspire One. [07:44] Frogzoo: yeah, thats what I was thinking of === Sharp_eyes__ is now known as Sharp_eyes [07:45] [8.10/3945ABG] my wireless loses its connection (displays as connected), requires killing and restarting networkmanager. is there a fix?

Opinions needed : How would you break up a 30gb partition for dual boot intrepid and xp pro ? i plan on keeping it as NTFS. No major applications to be installed on either. Old (usb 1.1/typeIII cardbus era) IBM Thinkpad R31 p3 1Ghz 512mb ram. I'd like to have at least 10gb free on XP,not including the XP OS and MS office(only major app) - the remaining hop [07:54] bazhang: I installed it on my flash drive, and booted from usb, how do I save files in it? [07:55] droopsta915, I have not used it yet; did you not see the option to make it usb-persistent? that will be live but also allow for changes made between sessions. [07:56] plz, unban "zloy". He jokes) [07:56] just wanted to say. Thanks for Ubuntu! It really has come a long way since i started using it in version 7.10 I have a dell inspiron 6000 laptop and it installed flawlessly no problems and is everything i hoped it would be! [07:56] I'm using it as we speak, it's cool. yes, i set it up persistent. ;) [07:56] hey guysd [07:57] I'm really impressed. [07:57] i've tried running apt-get update, but i'm getting alot of errors and it bombs with "W: GPG error: http://ftp2.de.debian.org stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A70DAF536070D3A1 NO_PUBKEY B5D0C804ADB11277 [07:57] bazhang: plz, unban "zloy" [07:57] " has anyone else run into this? [07:57] tried cleaning the lists etc [07:58] Stupid_NicknaMe, i donbt know much, but i think that has to do with improperly adding repositories to your sources. research to see if you missed anything for the repository that you added [07:58] just to add briefly to that, I have the old laptop in front of me now with the XP installation CD in and am at the part where setup is asking what how I want to split the 30gb's(28.6gb to be exact) - it was at this time that I thought, why not try ubuntu - so can I just shut down my laptop where it is now and when ready begin the ubuntu/xp dual boot process? [07:59] i dont know why anyyone who swtiches to ubuntu would even run XP. you can now run virtually ANY XP program using wine within Ubuntu. the possibilities are endless. i love it [08:00] cool [08:00] or they can run vmware in Ubuntu if they need a windows app that badly [08:00] ya [08:00] die XP die [08:00] i dont mind XP actually [08:00] but vista [08:00] yo yo yo [08:00] dont get ms started [08:00] me [08:00] jared: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:03] <_coredump_> moinsen [08:03] ActionParsnip your correct, however if i dont ude windows i dont get paid and then i go hungary, the family goes hungary ect ect, and i like going hungary worse than using windows then :-( [08:04] i use linux because. honestly? i love synaptic. [08:04] koshari: why is windows so needed [08:04] wwell, thats not the only reason [08:04] jared: seriously?? jeez its ssoooo slooow [08:04] lol [08:04] ActionParsnip because the beforementioned proprietry progiies only run on windows [08:05] koshari: wine not do it for you? [08:05] i just love the idea of how Ubuntu protects your system with implicit use of root passwords. [08:05] i mean [08:05] i dont know how to esplain myself [08:05] lol [08:05] Can I set up compiz fusion if I'm using ubuntu on my flash drive? [08:06] droopsta915: same as if it were installed on a hard drive [08:06] ActionParsnip i have tried to run directSOFT and wonderware on wine and it failed , shame really because it would have been nice for stability and saved customers some licence money at the same time [08:07] droopsta915 you possable may be able to but remember a live session is suppored to run on any hardware where you need specific 3d drivers installed for compiz [08:07] jared: I use it because I know all my system works out of the box with a small footprint, all updates update my drivers as well as my apps so its an all in 1 solution to me. Just easy life [08:07] Anyone have experience with LTSP and broadband router? [08:07] ActionParsnip i agree however my job complicates things [08:07] ActionParsnip, i agree [08:07] what package is alsamixer in? [08:07] Actionparsnip: This is cool, I could show ubuntu to anyone with a computer now! Most people I talk to don't know what Linux is, this works great. [08:08] all the 4 PCs in our house have linux, i keep windows on the lappie for work [08:08] i also have a vm with 2k on it for a couple of specific tasks [08:09] koshari: same here, Linux at home, xp for work. [08:09] the main thing i love about ubuntu is, the lack of spyware, lack of viruses infecting your system. The fact that everything is password protected. The fact that it doesnt treat you like you are a complete moron and dont know how to protect your system, except ask you for a password before ANY major change to your system. [08:09] and freedom [08:09] yea yea... [08:09] if that explains anything properly [08:09] jared not on a live usb session its not. [08:09] droopsta915: dont just big it up. it isnt without pitfalls and necessity of config [08:10] i mean installed [08:10] i'm scared i just really stuffed something up. I changed the ownership of /dev/fb0 to me. will this screw up everything? [08:10] droopsta915: also if you plug into another pc, the hardware will probably not be identical to yours so your config may not work [08:10] as in I used chown [08:10] if this will have implications is there anyway I can undo it? [08:10] jared: how about ur love when turn to intrepid? [08:11] I need to play with bloody HAL to get a Serial touch screen working [08:11] i run intrepid. am i not suppsoed to love it?

[08:12] yeah [08:12] run both [08:12] droopsta915: not 100% unless they have 100% identical hardware, what if you configure video for nvidia and they have an Ati VGA card? [08:12] * Tyrath wonders if anyone has used chown before [08:12] nme: no need to,ever [08:12] did you seen what they did with openldap? [08:12] nah [08:12] droopsta915 not if you change the persistance file, for example if you load nvidia 2d drivers to run compiz, then boot into a radeon graphics based PC.

[08:14] hi, i'm using fvwm.. kde apps look horrible [08:14] I'm installing new theme engines using "./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-animation". After I've completed "make" and "sudo make install" is there anothe step? A website suggested installing a tar.gz file, but I have no idea where such a file would appear. [08:14] ActionParsnip: it is possible to configure it by clicking only [08:14] in earlier times one could use kcontrol to control their appearance [08:14] i installed KDE the other day.... i had to say no. went back to gnome [08:14] please someone help. Fiddling with the framebuffer will prob screw everything up :/ [08:14] nme: no idea, i always edit smb.conf, way easier [08:14] but now i can't seem to find it [08:14] like apple calendar [08:14] I like gnome way better, KDE looks better but is too slow [08:14] which is the best calendar tool on ubuntu [08:15] tapas: try typing the command in konsole [08:15] how do i get to "~/.cxoffice/" ?

[08:16] and yes i do have kdebase-workspace-bin installed [08:16] where in the file system is ~/.cxoffice/ ? [08:16] ActionParsnip: do you know much about the framebuffer? [08:17] rubydiamond: there's sunbird by mozilla [08:17] rubydiamond: you need to ditch "best" in computing, there is no "best" anything. Its all completely individual [08:17] it seems there is no kcontrol in kde4? [08:17] rubydiamond: its like "Whih is best, coke or pepsi?" [08:17] pepsi, duh [08:17] ;-) [08:18] ActionParsnip, really true [08:18] i have a question actaully. If i wanted to monitor sensors like fan speed, temp, etc from my notebook, what would i install? where would i begin? lm-sensors?

[08:21] ActionParsnip, a whole crap load [08:21] Firbfs oh whats wrong with mythtv [08:21] GUI is ugly [08:22] Firbfs and XBMC is a nice lite one [08:22] phonon too [08:22] koshari, i don't see it yet, but i was never sure if it existed. thank you [08:22] Firbfs there are a lot of skins avail [08:22] does anyone know chown and if I happen to change the permissions in it, will that have adverse effects for the O/S if the file I change permissions for happens to be an important file (ie, the frame buffer) [08:22] Firbfs_: xbmc not good enough for you? [08:22] havnt messed with it in awhile, will have to experiment again [08:23] Tyrath: you don't use chown to set setuid. [08:23] you would use chmod [08:23] hi [08:23] setuid is a leading 4 [08:23] mhd720 type in a term cd ~/.cxoffice and it will soon tell you if it exiasts [08:23] Dyresen: I've already used chown. if thisis bad what should I do? [08:23] Does myth support h264? [08:23] Firbfs_: http://xbmc.org/media/ [08:24] Dyresen: btw chmod doesn't work for boot permissions (only within a session) so it's useless [08:24] eg chmod 4777 is giving you setuid and then read, write, execute for everyone [08:24] koshari: you could also use file instead of cd ;) [08:24] ok, will check out xbmc [08:24] Dyresen: only want u+rwx [08:24] koshari ah i see. not there :P i'm using crossover and trying to access the windows files directly. [08:24] Tyrath: then read the chmod manual. [08:25] 700 is u+rwx [08:25] crossover is too rich for my blood [08:25] chown is for changing ownerships and groups [08:25] Dyresen: the thing I'm worried about is I've already changed permissions of the framebuffer using chown. As such if this is bad is there anyway I can undo this in order that I can actually reboot in futur [08:25] Dyresen: thanks for the number btw [08:25] ActionParsnip, looks like i need gdesklets with lm-sensors. [08:26] jared: sounds like a plan [08:26] anyone knows to fix MF622... it seems not detecting in my freshly installed ubuntu 8.10 [08:26] Dyresen: as such I've prob stuffed something up, no? [08:26] ZTE MF622 [08:26] ActionParsnip, thanks for the insight tho [08:26] Tyrath: the chmod numbers goes like this. 4,2,1 and that is read,write,exectue so you just ad it up [08:26] Tyrath: Cant help you with framebuffer, I dont care about gui stuff. [08:26] mythtv's website shows "MythXFace" theme, but it seems to be in another language [08:27] r2s: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-665332.html [08:27] any idea if it comes in english? [08:27] Dyresen: framebuffer affects console too tho, no? [08:27] Tyrath: yes it does. But it's still just eye candy and not productive stuff. [08:28] Dyresen: as such, i typed in chown chris:admin /dev/fb0 - will this stuff up my ability to use the O/S? [08:29] Do you get any notification when you launching your iptable script through the interfaces file during (re)booting process? [08:29] Tyrath: I cant help you with framebuffer. But generally no, root still have access to everything. [08:30] Dyresen: what I'm trying to ask is, will I still be able to interface with the O/S even if I'm changed permissions for the framebuffer? [08:30] Tyrath: sure [08:30] i'm having problems with my resolution, I'm on Intrepid, i have just installed restricted nvidia drivers, and now my resolution is set to mximum 640x480 , when before i put the driver it was at 800x600(!), When I was on hardy it was on 1280x1024. I tried changing xorg.conf by adding ad "display" subsection with the correct resolution but it still won't work. Any help? [08:31] Dyresen: see cause I'm really scared that cause I changed the permissions for the framebuffer boot will be stuffed up [08:31] Tyrath: just try.

Are the reads faster? [09:55] thedoc^: The easiest way to dual boot is to install windows, then install linux. [09:55] thedoc^: so, go ahead and continue with XP, and go ahead and make that partition your final size, with freespace around it. That'll be the most straight forward way. [09:55] This is what it is before it screws up: [09:56] Timing cached reads: 448 MB in 2.01 seconds = 223.26 MB/sec [09:56] Timing buffered disk reads: 170 MB in 3.03 seconds = 56.03 MB/sec [09:57] With hdparm -I before and after, the only thing that changes is the udma setting [09:57] Flannel: do u know how can i create a irc channel? [09:58] so cool Flannel - i have the laptop in front of me - so it says, max size for partition is 28608MB / i'll just create a partition size of 10GB first? [09:58] my bad... lol [09:58] thanx to whomever pointed me to some sources of help - much appreciated [09:59] thedoc^: yeah [10:00] hi there, i got an error while trying to do an update with the software manager. this happens with 7.10 and 8.04: [10:00] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hplip/hplip-data_2.7.7.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.1_all.deb [10:00] Size mismatch [10:00] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hplip/hplip_2.7.7.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.1_i386.deb [10:00] Size mismatch [10:00] zdys: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:00] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hplip/hpijs_2.7.7+2.7.7.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.1_i386.deb [10:00] Flannel - done , i have 18,612mb left as unpartitioned space - shall i leave it unpartitioned and for later when setting up ubuntu? [10:00] thedoc^: yep [10:00] where should i send the report to ? [10:00] and continue the install to the highlighted 10gb - cool, this doesn't sound SO bad yet :) [10:01] any idea how I can find what the processes in an uninterruptable sleep staet on a given host are? [10:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/75149/ [10:02] thanks to y'all so far for the guidance - [10:03] Pilot_51: Well, I'm lost. Sorry. The only thing I can think of is, you might have had some read errors, so the system slowed down the acces. There is a command 'smartctl' that will check for a failing drive. [10:03] can someone help me with the following I try to run through the network interface these commands pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules but when I reboot nothing happens how do I solve this [10:06] There was a file that failed to copy when I tested and it slowed down about the same time, that might have something to do with it === Tibloko is now known as Tibloko[aw] [10:07] Flannel - will the unpartitioned space be formated when running and setting up the ubuntu live cd? i'm about to do a normal NTFS format of the 10gb i allocated to xp - continue with the install to xp, update drivers/security for laptop and xp and in the meanwhile download and burn the live cd and follow the faq link you had directed to me - [10:07] But a single file failing to copy shouldn't cause the OS to back down on the DMA mode without any notification [10:08] and run a defrag before the live cd install too [10:08] aiiiiiiiiiiii..... [10:08] There was also something called fstune, it might not be used anymore. I'm new to linux, but I've come across a lot of outdated stuff. You can also run fsck. [10:08] zaaaa: stop please. [10:08] Well, maybe there was a log. [10:10] thedoc^: Yes, when you get to the Ubuntu CD, you'll have a similar screen asking you what to partition, etc. [10:11] thedoc^: You don't have to defrag actually, since you won't be touching that partition. [10:12] alright Flannel :) but defragging won't be necessary on a freshly created partition xp install? [10:12] any program to rip audio and convert to mp3 on Ubuntu? [10:12] since perhaps it's being formatted when creating the partition - [10:12] thedoc^: won't be necessary because it'll be fresh, btu also, won't be necessary even if it werent, since you're not resizing that partition, only putting stuff on the unallocated spcae [10:13] okay sounds good so far :) [10:14] Hi everyone. Does any body know a way to install vlc without internet connection.Maybe a complete deb file with all dependencies and all? My friend needs it. [10:15] jaycee1: completely remove the package, clear your apt-cache, reinstall the package, and give him the contents of the directory apt-get downloads too (unsure) [10:16] jaycee1 yes you can get the debs manually, run apt-get clean, and use the download only option [10:16] ok thnks everyone [10:17] dns53: will download only fetch the contents of dependencies he already has installed though? [10:18] hello all i hav only 3.5 GB left in my partition so now upgradin to 8.10 from 8.04LTS will leave any space behind [10:18] it will fetch dependencies as well but there may be something he has that you don't so it is not perfect [10:19] I am trying to install utube_1.7-1_i386.gtk.deb but it failed [10:19] I'm using intrepid amd64 [10:19] vinnie well it should use some space during the upgrade but spaces are more or less the same between releases [10:19] sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture '/home/jin/Bureaublad/utube_1.7-1_i386.gtk.deb' is the command I used [10:19] dns53:thnks [10:20] jin you need the compatability packages i can't remember the name of it [10:20] dns53, it says it is missing packages [10:21] jin: thats meant for 32bit [10:21] hello, can anyone tell me a list of installed packages from a clean install of 8.10? [10:21] I though dpkg would solve the dependencies [10:21] ikonia, I can not find a 64bit deb [10:21] jin: apt can; dpkg can not [10:21] mib_p3epze: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.manifest [10:22] dpkg can as well i'm not sure though [10:22] um... amd64 please?

Many other users experienced this too. I thought I would just wait a few weeks and download the iso again and try a new install. My question is, how do I find out at the download page if it is the same image I tried last time or whether it's a new image with fixes on? [11:37] i dont see any special affects under that menu [11:37] linux mint is on /dev/sda3 xnv [11:37] insurin: you can compare the checksums.. there is a "nightly build" too that is built every day or something like that [11:37] thetank: OK, but what part of adding it to grub are you having difficulty with? There are any guides that can be found through Google. [11:37] insurin: it's the same image. But there are upgrades in the -upgrades and -security repositories now that update-manager should have installed [11:37] thetank: *many [11:37] danub: system -> preferences -> appearance -> effects tab [11:37] the only thing close is "visual effects" tab and that one just has the option for "none" "normal" "extra" [11:37] danub: yes, that [11:37] !who | danub [11:37] danub: As you can see, this is a large channel.

You have to be more specific about your problem. [11:48] I've done sudo apt-get install acroread [11:49] In all respects exept one my network works. But, when I request web service from my laptop to my desktop, the laptop requests service from itself, seemingly in spite of my hosts file configurations.

[11:49] !root | DPF [11:49] DPF: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [11:49] DPF: did you ever set one? [11:50] DPF: well.. to start it off.. there isn't one by default.. your regular user should have sudo rights.. so sudo passwd would set a new one [11:50] which compiler is good for beginners and for C [11:50] I installed from the livecd...can't remember if i set it.. [11:50] kanhiya78: gcc [11:50] kanhiya78: there can be only one.. gcc =) [11:50] DPF: then no, you don't need one. Read the link from ubottu [11:50] can i add it using add remove [11:50] kanhiya78, 'gcc' is sort of the standard compiler for linux. ;) theres a few others..but those are not widely used [11:50] DPF: use sudo from your regular user [11:51] !compile | kanhiya78 [11:51] kanhiya78: Compiling software from source?

[11:53] akello: I guess stopping samba might work [11:53] thetank, grub is worth learning - the homepage for grub has some very good docs.. but basicially you need to copy/paste and edit an existing grub menu 'entry' and make proper corrections for the root and other locations [11:53] Slart: Good one. === AliTarihi1 is now known as AliTarihi [11:53] jrib: well, when I request web service from a web server on my local network, it gets web service from itself instead.

[12:02] jrib: I wouldn't be surprised if I overlooked something important. But for the life of me I can't figure out what it is.

A friend just plugged in a usb drive that was previously used on a mac to his ubuntu machine and couldn't access any of the files cause his username doesn't have permission. What's the point in this? It's just annoying, and doesn't actually prevent access, he just has to change the file permissions with sudo, or even create a new user with the same na [12:26] HiSPeed: I can't check the repos myself as I don't have an ubuntu install to hand to test, just thinking out loud [12:27] chombee: nothing to do with ubuntu [12:27] HiSPeed: I don't know a lot about 2.2 but I would guess that the new filters or whatever they are called make some of the stuff mod_access does not so useful [12:27] folks.. this isnt an urgent question, however my transmission torrent client has been downloading really slow.. no firewall is enabled in my router or ubuntu desktop, and i forwarded my transmission port which is currently open. any ideas/suggestions?

I'm still lost though. Basically to explain my problem I have a JavaScript application in ~/workspace/myApp/myScript.js I meed to launch it using the JavaScript interpreter Rhino i.e $ rhino ~/workspace/myApp/myScript.js to save all that typing I want to be able to just type $ myApp from anywhere and the previous command will be launched.

[12:28] <`Ams> isn't that given though? lol [12:28] `Ams: no [12:28] or is that ubuntu's way of saying "we dont need access restrictions on our webserver, let s all move a little closer instead" ? ;) [12:28] No ideas? [12:28] gavimobile: Yes.It makes a hash check [12:28] ActionParsnip, i have 3 downloads and each one is 12 - 20 [12:28] ikonia The problem is that on ubuntu, if you use an external device like that and put your files on it, then it give it to someone else and they plug it into their machine, they can't access the iles without fiddling with the permisssions as root first [12:28] my asus eee / ubuntu 8.04 occationally hangs at shutdown. The orange progress bar the shows that is almost 75% "finished". How can i disable the progress bar screen, so I can see what process it freezen on? [12:28] guest0020, ill give that a try... thanks [12:28] gavimobile: if you have 2 peers on dialup connections, the file transfer is going to suck [12:28] HiSPeed: do'nt know about that.........I would expect it to be available, as you say it is quite a key module [12:29] ActionParsnip, im on a 1.5 mbps connection [12:29] gavimobile: It's in the repositories I think, if not the main page of deluge has a .deb package [12:29] i set my download to 250 download and 50 upload [12:29] chombee: thats nothing to do wiht ubuntu, thats generic across ANY os, mac/windows/etc on any file system that support permissions [12:29] i would expect it to at least be available as a separate package, if not compiled into apache itself [12:29] HiSPeed: and I would agree [12:29] is there realy no one who knows how to repair acpi [12:29] gavimobile: try setting the minimum speed higher [12:29] vorsprung -- I don't believe so, his ubuntu user has access to usb devices etc., problem is the files on the device are owned by a different username, and their permissions are set to let that user only read them [12:29] guest0020, good information... however i doubt transmission is the problem because ive never had a problem with transmission before [12:29] chombee, if its using ext2/3 you could (and this is NOT a good idea), chmod 777, the files/mountpoint/flesystem. Not sure of what problems that may cause later on. [12:29] ActionParsnip, higher than 250? [12:29] gavimobile: might be called, connect to peers if speed is below [12:30] i cant get 3 donwloads to total more than 70k [12:30] gavimobile: i dont use it, i use ktorrent but you might be able to get more speed that way [12:30] ikonia: does ubuntu have a way of masking unwanted packages by version number? [12:30] ActionParsnip, i dont have an option like that in transmission [12:30] gavimobile: thats the maximum download? [12:30] dr_willis What I told him to do was run nautilus as root and use that to recursively change the file permissions [12:30] dr_willis I don't understand the grip with this issue, it's teh same on windows, if you assign permissons to an ntfs file system and put it in anotehr windows box, it will be still owned by the wrong user until administrator takes ownership [12:30] HiSPeed: read this http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html#module [12:30] ActionParsnip, yes [12:30] dr_willis: s/grip/gripe [12:30] dr_willis: s/grip/gripee [12:30] HiSPeed nope [12:30] gavimobile: no minimum download speed [12:31] my top speed downloads at about 250/300 from a fast server [12:31] HiSPeed: it may be worth just logging a quick bug on this to the apache maintainer team [12:31] no minimum [12:31] ikonia: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html#module [12:31] ActionParsnip, i just found a min limit speed i believe [12:31] it was in the options for the specified torrent selected [12:31] chombee, You could just mount the drive once.. and 'sudo chmod -R 777 /media/mountpoint' (i think) and then any system should be able to fully access the drive.. (and yes this IS a bad security risk) :) [12:31] vorsprung: lol, argh.. mod_authz_host :) [12:32] no.. its not it [12:32] the apache peeps renamed mod_access to mod_authz_host [12:32] vorsprung NICE find [12:32] this setting is to specify a limit download or upload speed for a specific torrent [12:32] ikonia, i dont even know HOW to assign permissions to a ntfs that way under windows. :) [12:32] thanks a lot, vorsprung :) [12:32] gavimobile: hmmm, try limiting your upload a little more, see if it creeps up [12:32] dr_willis Yeah I know but I had to advise him on the phone, so I didn't want to risk that, since I have to get him to tell me the mountpoint, [12:32] i was starting to think i was having delusions here.. [12:32] 60? 70? === AliTarihi|away is now known as AliTarihi [12:32] Kvs [12:32] #hacked [12:32] chombee: advice sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt/$mountpoint [12:32] gavimobile: just less [12:32] Kbs [12:32] ahh [12:32] chombee: 30 second resolution [12:32] 40 /30? [12:32] what is with vlc showing the color channels at different positions in some videos? [12:33] gavimobile: try it, see what happens [12:33] yay the ubuntu forums have flapped up [12:33] ikonia Problem is a non-expert user doesn't know what the mountpoint is. I know it's quick to resolve, if I was there in person I would do jus that [12:33] ok.. i tied it ill give it a few minuts [12:33] No ideas? Bad... [12:33] in the meantime ill find another torrent client [12:34] chombee: so what is the point of asking/ranting in here about it / [12:34] gavimobile: are you torrenting on other systems? [12:34] another pc in my network? [12:34] hi [12:34] gavimobile: correct [12:34] ActionParsnip, nope [12:34] my asus eee / ubuntu 8.04 occationally hangs at shutdown. The orange progress bar the shows that is almost 75% "finished". How can i disable the progress bar screen, so I can see what process it freezes on?

[12:56] fatherjack: you can check by just typing $ mount [12:56] ikonia: yes it is, but folders are like "locked" [12:57] read only? [12:57] fatherjack: that disk must be mounted wihtout read permissions for your user [12:57] i didnt follow everything [12:57] fatherjack: where is the disk mounted [12:57] ani: once desktop effects are enabled, execute ccsm and activate application switcher plugins [12:57] sinuc: looks like just simple file system permissons for a non-privileged user [12:57] ikonia: emm its in /media/disk [12:57] where can i download additional logon screens for ubuntu?

[13:00] fatherjack: so according to those permissions your user should be able to go into that directory and at least view the contents [13:00] Caesi, and red I think red are the compressed files [13:01] fosco_: thanks for that [13:01] ok.. I was just asking because I have three tar files and the first one is marked green whereas the other two are red [13:01] Caesi, hm... probably the first one is with exec permission [13:02] Caesi: mostly sure the green one has +x permission [13:02] hmhmhm [13:02] ah ok..

[13:28] I did [13:28] but seemingly didn't understand :D [13:28] Caesi: ok, then what he said above [13:28] ah x [13:28] thanks [13:28] !! [13:30] well anyways in installed the ati from the snyaptic and it still flashes === mib_s1cc2liu is now known as dig [13:30] jjproctor, are you using compiz or beryl? [13:30] hello. i want to install ubuntu server and use software raid 1 for / . is that possible? [13:30] what ever comes deflt on ubuntu 8.10 [13:30] jrib: hi jrib. you still about ? [13:30] sunil: what's up? [13:31] i think GNOME [13:31] thanks for intro'ing me nsswitch. I'd never heard of it before. [13:31] why can't I login to CISCO network academy? Firefox, tried Epiphany also. But firefox in windows can [13:31] jjproctor, any 3d effects on desktop? [13:31] yea i have full effect [13:31] is that bad? [13:31] Alas, my problem persists. Maybe I'm doing something wrong with my nsswitch.conf [13:31] jjproctor, you can try disable the 3D effects just for trying [13:32] ok [13:32] sunil: your nsswitch.conf was fine [13:32] hm [13:32] on my laptop, some apps like googleearth flashs when using desktop effects [13:32] I must login as root for @badblock@ in console or not? === svippy is now known as svip [13:32] jrib: any suggestions for my step ? [13:33] w00t no more flashys i guess my video card cant handle full animation right? [13:33] hey guys need some advise / help. I'm trying to create bash scirpt to run my zimbra backups the scripts contains the use of sudo -u command, if I create the cronjob under /etc/cron.d/ would that run it ok under root user woudl sudo -u still be usuable but the scirpt and am I placing the cron job int eh right place do I maybe loging as root then add the job to crontab -e as root.. please advise me [13:33] jjproctor, maybe you video card or the driver for it [13:33] sunil: did you check your apache logs for what the comment on the forums described? [13:33] jjproctor: not necessarily, but OpenGL programs, afaik, don't deal very well with an OpenGL-based (Compiz) desktop [13:33] sliverchair: might be they are expecting to see "windows" somewhere in the user agent string of your browser? [13:34] jjproctor, in my case, I choose my apps working fine :) so I disabled the desktop effects [13:34] ok well i can do with out extras i have one more prob as soon as i try to restart my machine it hangs at the shut down ubuntu screen [13:34] sipior: yeah was thinking that too, but hmmm, CISCO? [13:35] anyone ? [13:35] sliverchair: i agree, it would be bad manners. easy enough to test, there are a few extensions available to change the string easily. [13:35] jjproctor, where it hangs? [13:35] jrib: sorry, but could you give me that link again? I've been looking at the nsswitch docs and I've rebooted a couple of times. I didn't get to checking the apache logs [13:36] u know the screen where its like the boot screnn but its the opisit the ubuntu bar gos backwords [13:36] dark-a, I'm not sure if I understand what you want to know [13:36] sunil: http://64.233.169.132/search?q=cache:BIHYEyZVBfAJ:ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D562716+intrepid+ubuntu+ignored+/etc/hosts&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us [13:36] thanks [13:36] dark-a: the use of punctuation would make your question more readable... anyway, *assuming* i read it correctly, "sudo -u" will work fine while under root, under a standard Ubuntu sudoers configuration === MarkNL_ is now known as MarkNL [13:37] jjproctor, there is a way to see what is happening "back" that screen [13:37] sipior: web developer? [13:37] LjL, where do place my cronjob under the root crontab -e or do i create a file under /etc/cron.d [13:37] i dount understand what u want [13:37] ? [13:37] how do I make sure it will execute.. [13:37] sliverchair: i am not, no. [13:37] dark-a: it will execute in both cases, for that matter you can also just place it in /etc/crontab [13:38] anyone have links on how to get a webcam working on ubuntu? i tried searching the forums, but they seem to be down [13:38] sipior: no I meant, the add-on for firefox [13:38] allso it hangs on sleep [13:38] dark-a: it's more a matter of elegance than anything else. if it's something that the *root user* needs, then use "crontab -e" from root, if it's something that the *system* needs, then use /etc [13:39] sliverchair: i was thinking of "user agent switcher", but there are many options for this. [13:39] the thing I do not understand is I have placed the job in crontab -e under root before and it would not execute.. 1 3 * * * /usr/bin/backup === enrico_ is now known as eluzi [13:39] any idea why sometimes videos appear, um, blurry/fuzzy/over-lumious (for lack of better adjectives), and other times they show fine? I would be tempted to blame compiz, but I've switched to metacity with the compiz fusion icon. [13:40] how do I specifie the FAT filesystem my external disk had when I want to mount it [13:40] ? [13:40] <__phru> hi how do i change my virtual console resolution size [13:40] is the ubuntu forums site down at the mo?

[13:42] LjL, any ideas why that could be ? [13:43] i'm running ubuntu 8.04; i'm wondering if the USB Human Interface Devices (usbhid or hid) component is built and loaded as a module or built as a static "compiled-in" module while building the kernel? [13:43] hey. how do I disable proxy for a specific vhost in apache? has anyone ever done that here? [13:44] dark-a: is /usr/bin/backup set executable? [13:45] LjL, yea it has [13:45] jasper, i think that kind of theme needs to be install using the emerald-theme-manager [13:46] Hey guys I got a problem. I installed some cursors, and most of them are working, but it never overwrites the default desktop cursor. When I;m in firefox etc, it seems to work. Any way to do this more manually? [13:46] hi did someone worjk with audio on amsn 0.98 ? [13:46] jasper_, you need to install emerald and then run that, then use the import feature to install it [13:46] Any way to individually pick cursors? [13:46] LjL, i also put up a output command.. would that effect it.. 3 1 * * * /usr/bin/backup > ~/backuplog/bk-`date +"%d-%m-%y"` [13:47] jrib: I don't think that trinsans solution will match mine. His problem was that his web server was never running. Mine is. [13:47] Cursors reside in ~/.icons. [13:48] sunil: what does traceroute faustina do? [13:48] im trying to do an rsync but im getting an error.. google wasnt much help for me.. Can anyone help me with this error? rsync error: unexplained error (code 130) at rsync.c(271) [sender=2.6.9] [13:48] what subtitle editor do you recommend using? [13:48] someone certificate (Ubuntu Certified Professional)? [13:48] I've got a system where some process goes crazy once in a while - load goes up to 8, or so - but the main process on ps goes only up to 10% cpu - how can I find the cause of that load? [13:48] jrib: gives a two-line output: [13:49] traceroute to faustina (127.168.1.81), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 faustina (127.168.1.81) 0.033 ms 0.009 ms 0.007 ms [13:49] dark-a: it shouldn't [13:49] dark-a: but, is it actually 1am...? [13:50] not its set for 3 am [13:50] sunil: so it looks like it's just firefox then? [13:51] no - GET returns a page from faustina.com [13:51] hi, can someone please post for me the default menu.lst for an ubuntu 8.04 install ? i want to know what the boot flags are since i've gotten things messed up [13:51] so GET seems to ignore the hosts file as well [13:51] can you help me? need to sync some subtitles [13:51] sunil: right [13:52] sunil: try telnet [13:52] is there a way to install or convert so i can install a rpm on ubuntu [13:52] my network has gone all twilight zone. [13:52] Trying 127.168.1.81... [13:52] telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [13:52] is emerald free to download? [13:53] sunil: what are you serving again? [13:53] jrib: at least telnet tries the correct ip [13:53] what differnce with su and sudo? [13:54] JMS32: sudo is for one command, su is for "getting root all the time" see also man su and man sudo [13:54] JMS32: su is to switch users, sudo is to run a command as super-user [13:54] well, faustina hosts my local development web server. As well as offering SSH to the internal network [13:54] where to download emerald theme manager? [13:55] jasper_: apt-get i think [13:55] sunil: so you expect to get a web page right? telnet faustina 80 does what? [13:55] LjL, its set for 3am [13:56] dark-a: no, it isn't. 3 is the minute, 1 is the hour [13:56] Yes. I expect to get one the default vhost. [13:56] jasper_, sudo apt-get install emerald [13:56] hi - am running intrepid here and quite often getting problems with pulseaudio and alsa - the only fix i've found so far involves a reboot, but does anyone know of a less obtrusive solution? basically, i get "ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave" when trying to restart pulseaudio [13:56] LjL, in the crontab isnt the order m h dom mon dow [13:57] jasper_, then run emerald-theme-manager from the command line or look for it in the gnome menu [13:57] jrib: telnet just hangs when trying to connect [13:57] jrib: no! ... [13:57] Telnet does something wierd!... [13:57] dark-a: yes. "m h" as in "minute hour". you wrote "3 1", so 3 would be the minute, and 1 the hour. [13:57] hey all, what is the package that allows me to download themes and desktops and stuff? it was like art manager or something back in ubuntu7.4 [13:57] sunil: eh? [13:58] sudo cat /dev/input/mice , then move the mouse, but there is nothing. why? [13:58] I'll paste... [13:58] !paste [13:58] 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) [13:58] LjL, yea sorry its acutly set as 1 3 in my crontab [13:58] LjL, typo [13:58] http://pastebin.com/m20b36dfc [13:59] BTW im using xubuntu [13:59] hello everybody , will anybody tell me how to run a program using k develop [13:59] jrib: telnet claims to connect to 192..168.1.81 [13:59] sunil: it's not weird [13:59] kanhiya78: shift+F9 [13:59] but, it has actually connected to the localhost [13:59] no ? [13:59] it is a simple program to find out sum of two numbers [13:59] sunil: well yes, the address is weird [14:00] !alien [14:00] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [14:00] chrisinajar: ok thank u [14:00] LjL: it sure is [14:00] LjL: it's completely wierding me out [14:00] how do you reactivate bluetooth w/o restarting [14:00] LjL, have a look at the actual script see if anything is wrong there [14:00] http://pastebin.com/df57d160 [14:00] anyone know what the package name is for the application that allows for downloading and installing themes from a kde website? [14:01] LjL: that address belongs to the webserver, but the result from the GET is actually returning a result from my localhost [14:01] chrisinajar: it is not working [14:01] LjL: _that_ is highly wierd [14:01] dark-a: there shouldn't be a newline after "sudo -u zimbra zmcontrol -v >", i believe [14:01] kanhiya78: what's it say? your code probably has bugs in it. [14:01] !bluetooth [14:01] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [14:01] why is it that everytime i fetch my email from evolution it does not download all of it from the server, i have to fetch like 3 times before im finally current. Is there a max setting somewhere? [14:01] sunil: your /etc/hosts has 127.168.1.81, that's correct? You don't mean 192 there? [14:02] 127 :| [14:02] jrib: gah! [14:02] chrisinajar: give me step by step guide i am new to linux and very new to programming [14:02] jrib: I stab my eyes! [14:03] chrisinajar: what should be file name extension [14:03] unbeliveable i am running Ubuntu CE on an old hp omnibook 4150 [14:03] kanhiya78: step 1: open kdevelop, step 2: open a project, or start a new one, step 3: write your code (there are awesome tutorials out there to teach you basic syntax), step 4: compile (F8) step 5: Run the program [14:03] LjL, sorry its the way pasted I editited with nano [14:03] Can anyone advise if I have a resolvable problem plse? When I Google an adsl speed test I click on a page and have several options. When I click the first I am told Not Found , The requested URL XXX was not found on this server. Do I have to reconfigure something???? [14:03] kanhiya78: there aren't filename extentions for binaries in linux. [14:03] with wireless pcmcia card [14:04] jrib: thank you [14:04] dark-a, i don't know, try just using /etc/crontab [14:04] jrib: I knew I was doing something dumb. [14:04] kanhiya78: it'll be like... /path/to/your/project/bin/projectname [14:04] DavidCanarias: unless you own the webserver hosting whatever link you clicked, not likely anything you can do about it [14:04] LjL, is there a way of checking if cron at least tryed to execute it.. [14:04] How would I go about getting the java plugin for 64 bit Opera? [14:05] dark-a: should be in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages [14:05] LjL, is there a log file somthere [14:05] hey [14:05] idk [14:05] u homo [14:05] jack me off [14:05] danub: So where would the problem be coming from, any ideas? [14:05] LjL: forget something? [14:05] kanhiya78: if you're used to windows, nothing will make sense at first... then you'll have more and more "aha!" moments, seeing how logical everything in linux is... eventually you realize how much windows totally doesn't make any sense at all :-P [14:05] That's generally the learning curve... [14:05] has anyone seen constant disk activity during idle when the monitor is off in 8.10? [14:05] jrib: my client did. i'm innocent :< [14:06] DavidCanarias: yeah, the server your trying to go to doesn't have the page your looking for anymore [14:06] bb back to vista [14:06] Hello, is there a workaround for installing nvidia-glx 71 series driver in 8.10? [14:06] LOL [14:06] what is with vlc showing the color channels at different positions in some videos? [14:06] if you can browse google, yahoo, aol, msn, etc... its not your problem or can do anything about [14:06] danub: Ah ok thanks. I am trying to do an adsl speed check. Do you a good web site to do this for me? [14:06] wheew alas all updates downloaded [14:07] LjL, lol.. I should have looked at it straight away.. it says that rdiff-backup which is the original app that I used instead of cp -Rp needs password.. to execute.. [14:07] took me several hours [14:07] i believe there is a site called bandwidthspeedtest.com or something similiar [14:07] is there a workaround for installing nvidia-glx 71 series driver in 8.10? [14:07] thats the one i always use when i need to conduct a quick speed test [14:07] hello everyone [14:07] clear [14:07] waterloo: download it from nvidia's site and install it? [14:07] chrisinajar: i write and saved the program and press f8 to compile it but nothing happens [14:07] there is also another site called dslreports.com that has a speedtest too that i have used before DavidCanarias [14:08] so i am using exim to relay everything through gmail, most of the time it works...lately I started having issues when its sending cron output [14:08] kanhiya78: once it's compiled, if there were no errors, then there is now a binary in the folder you're working out of... [14:08] kanhiya78: run that [14:08] danub. Very kind of you and thks for yr help. [14:08] wants to send as root@domain and gmail doesnt like that [14:08] how do i change who root sends as [14:08] xxploit, but the Release Notes say that the 8.10 xorg.conf is not compatible with legacy drivers [14:08] waterloo: is there a reason you want to install such an old driver? [14:09] chrisinajar: i press shift+f9 and nothing happened again [14:09] NP DavidCanarias [14:09] xxploit, yea...coz i got an old geforce 2 card [14:09] kanhiya78: then you're code doesn't work, there are some awesome online tutorials on how to program, check them out. [14:09] i am also seeing this in the logs: "A TLS packet with an unexpected length was received." [14:10] hi is anyone here still running gutsy? I'm having problems upgrading hplip-data. [14:10] When one app fades to grey, what does that mean? [14:10] anyone have an ideas on how to fix this? [14:10] sunil: no problem [14:10] chrisinajar: are you able to give me a link please [14:11] waterloo: I think unless something changed, once you install the driver it will complain about something which I forget and will not load X. But if you start X with the --ignore option(maybe its ABI I dont remember anymore) it mite then work. I think that is what used to be the problem with xorg 7.4 and the older nvidia drivers. [14:11] why is it locked or not my panel icons keep moving around every few reboots [14:11] hi [14:11] how do i find out what xorg version i'm running?

[14:29] its an IIDC camera [14:29] but i guess its closer to a webcam [14:30] slayton: maybe you just needs to add yourself to the "video" group ?? tht seems like a cleaner solution [14:30] how do I adjust the scroll part of my synaptic touch pad? :) [14:31] erUSUL, so I created a video group, added myself to the video group, then did chmgrp video /dev/*1394 [14:31] but that didn't work so I thought I'd try udev [14:31] slayton: oops it is firewire... [14:32] yes its firewire [14:32] I've got an Ubuntu installation that's dropping me into a busybox initramfs shell.

I wonder if they are part of the default intrepid install, or what. does anybody know? [14:32] slayton: the video group is already created on the system. and as i can read on /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules [14:33] slayton: udev already assings firewire devs to video group (or disk group if it is firewire hard disk) [14:33] help, i'm getting grub error 2 [14:34] ok so if I add myself to both video and disk I should be able to use the camera?

Has anybody any idea on how to take care of this? [15:11] is there any way to get my Logitech USB headset to work correctly? Only certain applications ever recognize them and even then they don't usually work right [15:11] lucax: it depends on what lspci says the wifi is, i doubt its a package too [15:11] nickrud: i have a pidgin icon and power management, but no network manager [15:12] ActionParsnip: actually top always says i have 75% or more cpu idle but if i add up all the cp% in the list of processes for top its over 100 [15:12] SpikeDrak: the nice value is how much priority ranging from -20 (full steam ahead and negate everything else) or 20 (very little) [15:12] what about security of linux [15:12] santor, you can access the network stuff from the icon in > menu > sys> admin > network [15:12] SpikeDrak: default is 0 [15:12] kanhiya78: in what sense [15:12] santor you could try restarting NetworkManager , or killing and restarting the panels. killall gnome-panel , it will restart automatically [15:12] atheros needs "linux-backports-modules-intrepid" and ath5k modprobed [15:13] santor: id get a wired connection or add your install cd as a repo and install wifi-radar [15:13] about internet [15:13] ActionParsnip: i'm on wired right now [15:13] kanhiya78: be specific [15:13] santor: sudo apt-get install wifi-radar [15:13] ActionParsnip: i'm actually on the computer i'm having trouble with [15:13] santor: you can then configure wireless with that [15:13] hi all [15:14] how can i find out what port an application is trying to get data from? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [15:14] ActionParsnip: alright, that works but why is network manager broke?

[15:15] alonea, that's a wine issue, not an ubuntu one then. [15:15] viraptor, run tail -f /var/log in a terminal, then try plugging in the device. You should get some messages [15:15] viraptor, erm, /var/log/syslog that is [15:15] alonea, you could try asking in #winehq [15:16] DRebellion: I asked to see if anyone knew of drivers. and they don't know since its hardware issue. [15:16] hey! does anyone know about an issue in using a bluetooth headset on ubuntu: aplay: set_params:906: Channels count non available [15:16] tkx for the workaround, i can now use wifi on my laptop again [15:16] how to i add a security certificate? [15:16] when I try to aplay a sound on the headset [15:16] to=do [15:16] alonea, well, if it's working properly under ubuntu, then the drivers should be fine. [15:16] user01: for a web server, for ssh logins, what? [15:17] im trying to run citrix server, it is https [15:17] DRebellion: I don't even know what drivers are installed or if there are updated ones I can put on. I am used to installing everything manually. [15:17] citrix client i mean [15:17] user01: will a self signed cert work, it will throw errors but long as you don't give it to anyone its fine [15:17] is there an app to check hard drive health? [15:17] alonea, right. Ubuntu should ship with all the drivers you need - if they're not included, there's probably a reason. I wouldn't recommend meddling with the kernel yourself unless absolutely nessecary [15:17] !grub [15:18] 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 [15:18] if i've got a patch to an existing package (network-manager-pptp in this case), how would i go about putting the modified package on my ppa (i already have this setup)? [15:18] santor, its not giving me the option to do a self signed one [15:18] santor, it just says error [15:18] jerbear, ask in #ubuntu-motu [15:18] user01, how do i self sign one? [15:18] user01: you create it on the server, will a self signed one work? [15:18] santor, im on a client [15:19] user01: i'm a bit confused can you take it from the top and tell me what exactly is going on [15:19] DRebellion: but compiling the kernel from source is so much fun! ^_^ (no way do I want to do that now) [15:19] santor, ok my company has a citrix server, and i am trying to log into it on my laptop, and they cant help me because the only support windows [15:19] alonea, well, technically you wouldn't have to recompile the kernel to add a driver, just compile the driver. ;) [15:19] no one else sees constant disk activity during idle? [15:20] hi when i have xcompmgr loaded and im watching vlc in fullscreen the place where my dock is is transparent.. fixable? [15:20] hard drive light on solid? [15:20] bahadunn, is this 24/7 ? Ubuntu tends to schedule indexing tasks when you're not using the computer. [15:20] user01, so i found the ubuntu documentation for installing citrix client app [15:20] santor: glad yuo got it woking dude [15:20] DRebellion: hmm...that would be a bit painful if things go wrong, but I don't know enough about whats going on [15:20] DRebellion: no its when I get up and leave the computer for 10 minutes or so and the monitor is powered off by the computer [15:20] ActionParsnip, in ifconfig i dont see wlan [15:20] ActionParsnip: thanks for your help, wifi-radar seems quite sweet [15:20] santor, and i have it installed, configured it fot the https site [15:21] is there an app to check hard drive health? i think my external HD is screwy. [15:21] lucax: what does lspci say you have/ [15:21] how do you call the google widgets? [15:21] bahadunn, there you go. [15:21] DRebellion: then the disk light activity comes on constant until I move the mouse or do some activity on the computer [15:21] santor, but i get the certification error [15:21] santor: yep, i think its better than the default thing [15:21] user01: i'm not familiar with the software, it sounds like a server issue [15:21] DRebellion: I want it to stop [15:21] bahadunn, right. So, it doesn't stop after a few minutes? [15:21] DRebellion: my drive will not last long with that crap going on [15:21] DRebellion: no [15:21] santor, they have juniper too [15:21] ActionParsnip, 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) [15:21] DRebellion: just stays on for hours and hours until I do some activity on the system like move the mouse or something [15:22] santor, i tried the java applet but it failed [15:22] bahadunn, well, obviously you need to find out which process is causing the activity. You could probably ssh into the system without causing it to stop and check with `top'. [15:22] DRebellion: yes okay I will try it [15:22] santor, let me get the error [15:22] Can anyone tell me why some applications have installed that I didn't install? I don't share this computer [15:23] user01: do you have a windows computer you can try to connect from, if that doesn't work then its probably a server issue, and then you can call the software manufacturer and they can support it [15:23] goodmami, Ubuntu comes with a great many applications already installed. Is this what you mean? [15:23] lucax: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=964521 [15:23] goodmami, b/c other applications depend on them [15:23] santor, the IT guy asked if i can import SSL from the control panel like in windows [15:23] slayton, is there a command I can run to see what depends on some package? [15:23] goodmami: example, firefox needs xul-runner to work so will install it [15:23] user01: are you running the client in wine? [15:24] santor, nope, but i could install it [15:24] goodmami, you can use `aptitude' [15:24] help is there anyone here who can help me? [15:24] and DRebellion, no this is after I installed ubuntu... [15:24] goodmami, check the manpage for exact syntax [15:24] !ask | raj [15:24] raj: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:24] user01: so there is a linux version they jsut dont' support it [15:24] anyone have experience using the linksys pcm200 cardbus ethernet card [15:24] goodmami, right. These are gui apps? Or console packages? As slayton said, many apps depend on other packages. [15:24] jtisme: what does lsusb say it is? [15:24] santor, yes . . . well my company doesnt support linux . . . maybe citrix does [15:24] jtisme: te print in the case means less than nothing [15:24] DRebellion, they are gui apps, which is what worries me. I can understand some library being a dependency [15:24] I would like to know how ubuntu sets the gnome system tools menu to go under system>administration instead of applications>system ... I can do it manually using alacarte or something, but how do I change the default location of new items that would normally go into applications>system? [15:25] help why is my resolution messed up? i cannot expand the panels for the whole screen. [15:25] citrix supports linux i believe [15:25] for thin clients [15:25] user01: theres acitrix client for linux [15:25] goodmami: apt-cache rdepends PACKAGE [15:25] thank you jrib [15:25] goodmami, hmm. I've never heard of that happening before... [15:25] Hi all :) Ever since I upgraded to Intrepid on my wifi laptop, my nfs and cifs mount points in /etc/fstab don't get mounted at boot - I have to mount them manually using 'sudo mount -at cifs' or 'sudo mount -at nfs'. Has anybody any idea on how to take care of this? [15:25] raj: have you install video drivers? [15:25] user01: see if you can't get ahold of citrix to support there linux client, i don't know anything about hte client [15:25] ActionParsnip, actually i dont have one was looking to see if anyone has had problems with it in ubuntu [15:25] raj: and configured resolutions? [15:25] no my video drivers are working [15:26] ActionParsnip, i am using the citrix package from their site [15:26] jtisme: yeah its apparently a bit weird in 8.10 [15:26] its a laptop and i am using an external monitor [15:26] user01: maybe you could use VM [15:26] i can use the whole screen but cannot expand the panels [15:26] user01: is there a citrix package in the repository [15:26] raj: then you will need to configure the display it kicks out [15:26] ActionParsnip, thanks [15:26] ciao [15:26] it seems that it was added when I added language support [15:26] santor, i dont think so i downloaded the source and installed [15:26] sudobash: thats kind of ridiculous ot run a whole virtual machine for a program that is supposed to run natively [15:27] eg, I added support for inputting chinese in scim, and now I have stardict and a bbs client. is that normal? [15:27] user01: did you check the repositories? [15:27] santor, yes [15:27] resolution is 1440x900 but i disables the mirror tick [15:27] how do i configure gnome-terminal to use the fone called fixed (the one that is default in xterm) ? [15:27] I don't recall this happening in hardy [15:27] oh i thought he was running a windows app [15:28] sudobash: no, i asked him if he was running a windows app in wine but he is running a linux app [15:28] i followed these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CitrixICAClientHowTo [15:28] how do i configure the display? [15:28] goodmami: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#Recommended%20packages%20installed%20by%20default maybe [15:29] jrib, thanks for the link. that looks like what happened [15:29] How hard would it be to make an ubuntu box that I can put in line with a switch+dsl modem to see what traffic is being sent through it. I'm trying to track a computer sending spam on a network. [15:30] jrib, this may be coincidental, but when I added the language support, the icon on the user switch applet changed to a status indicator (from power button thing) [15:30] jrib, I also ran an update today. do you think this is from the update? [15:30] rittenhouse use OpenBSD PacketFilter logging and tcpdump with a switch... [15:30] goodmami: no idea, possibly [15:30] have two ethernets 1 external 1 internal and log with pf [15:31] hmm... ok, well I got half of my worries resolved [15:31] how do i configure my monitor? i am using an external monitor on a laptop and i cannot expand the panel [15:31] I must be partially dyslexic. sudobash's handle keeps looking like my name. [15:31] I would like to know how ubuntu sets the gnome system tools menu to go under system>administration instead of applications>system ... I can do it manually using alacarte or something, but how do I change the default location of new items that would normally go into applications>system? [15:31] DRebellion, slayton, jrib: thanks for the help [15:32] raj, alt-f1 should open the menu. [15:32] rrittenhouse that is assuming you are admin and can do what ever you want on the network [15:32] hi. I seem to have made a mess of fstab somehow. Do I need a mount point on fstab for swap? [15:32] sudobash, Haha I didn't think about it like that. Yes I am the admin [15:32] i know i opened the menu .. but i need to configure my display. [15:32] can i import security certificates? [15:32] i only thought about cause that is what i am doing [15:33] OpenBSD 4.4 is out now i think [15:33] sudobash, I just wasn't sure what it would take to have the traffic forward from one interface to another so I could capture it. Maybe theres a livecd to do this? [15:33] i am still on 4.3 [15:33] cens0red: no; just use "none" as mount point [15:33] !ot | sudobash [15:33] sudobash: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [15:33] sudobash, im still on 4.0 i think [15:33] erta. [15:33] How do I re mount my partition table without rebooting? [15:34] cens0red: i case of swap is "sudo swapon -a" [15:34] raj, Use the arrow keys to select the items in the menus you need. Start with Screen Resolution perhaps? [15:34] its not that hard and kinda fun cause you have to learn about the filesystem and how much to allocate to each part [15:34] How do I change the workgroup for my windows share? [15:34] cens0red: for the rest ·sudo mount -o remount -a" [15:34] and then PacketFilter is fun [15:35] I need to configure the monitor not resolution as i cannot expand the panels to the whole width . [15:35] sudobash: user01 move openbsd chatter to offtopic or an openbsd chat room; please [15:35] sorry [15:35] erUSUL thanks. Didn't seem to re mount everything as written in fstab though. [15:36] cens0red: any error msg? [15:36] erUSUL, my question is about SSL certificates in ubuntu [15:36] erUSUL I think I know what's going on. I accidentally made a second mount point in fstab for my primary partition. Now I can't unmount it, because mount says device is busy. duh [15:37] erUSUL, how do i download them? [15:37] raj, I'm not sure which menu option that is; point is you can get to any option with the keyboard. Unlike certain operating systems (/me glares at OSX) [15:37] brb [15:38] user01: dunno sorry [15:38] I want to use Ubuntu to make an inline packet "filter" so I can see what machine might be sending spam on my network. Any ideas? Can you at least point me in the right direction? [15:39] rrittenhouse: maybe a machine with ntop installed and configured [15:39] !menu.lst [15:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about menu.lst [15:39] where is menu.lst located on ubuntu 8.10?

[16:12] has anyone tried to mount their T-mobile G1 on ubuntu? [16:13] it shows up as an sdb, but has no partition info [16:14] I have a ricoh card-reader (on a dell xps 1530). If you insert the sd card, it shows up as a block device without any partition info.... BUT you can still mount it. running parted to create a partition and filesystem has no effect. df -h still shows no partition. [16:14] hi, why there is not the file /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf in intrepid ibex? Thanks [16:14] Vi5in: have you tried other cards? [16:15] has anyone been able to set up a bellsouth email in evolution? [16:15] hololight: actually, I haven't. But apparently this is an issue with the cards that come with the G1 [16:15] the weird thing is that parted shows a primary partition [16:16] but df -h only shows the block device (/dev/mmcblk0) without a partition (I would expected /dev/mmcblk0p1) or something [16:16] Vi5in: I would say try another card first [16:16] and hooking up the g1 directly gives me a /dev/sdb, but once again, no partition. and ubuntu can't mount it [16:16] Vi5in: any data on the card you would miss? [16:16] hololight: I'll try that - but I was just wondering what would cause the card to behave like that, especially if it does have a partition and a fs on it [16:17] hello, is it possible to install ubuntu on a flash drive and have the ability to install applications etc on it? basically function like a regular install? [16:17] hololight: nope. I backed up the data, and wiped it clean [16:17] I installed it using liveusb but theres no application persistence [16:17] and it still behaves this way [16:17] Vi5in: I am wondering if the partition table is messed up somehow. try to repartition and format it. [16:17] i ran parted, mklabel, created a primary partition and created a filesystem of it after that [16:17] Vi5in: also try another card [16:18] hololight: yeah, I did that. apparently the cards have a messed up partition table. tried to fix it, but no dice :( i will try another card - I'll see if i can get one [16:18] me quitaron el ban ¬¬ [16:18] Vi5in: odd sized card?

[16:21] well [16:21] I can get it to install [16:21] mybuntu hurts [16:21] but I cannot get persistence for applications [16:22] I want to be able to type apt-get install jedit [16:22] reboot [16:22] and still have jedit installed [16:22] that doesn't seem to happen automatically [16:22] shirow: it should... unless you followed directions for a RO os, such as a live-cd type system [16:24] hmm [16:24] well, what I did was boot off an ubuntu install CD (8.10) [16:24] boot into the live-cd environment [16:24] downloaded liveusb and ran it [16:24] shirow, you can install to a USB drive like any other drive, but if you just dump the *live CD* to a USB drive, then you'll get nothing but a live CD on USB. you can, for sure, enable persistence, but couldn't you just do a proper install to begin with?

[17:28] emorris: no, nite_johnboy knows the linux command and is looking for the MS equivalent [17:28] can someone help a newbie with procedure 4 on this link [17:28] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=372011 [17:28] powertool08: oh sorry, misread [17:28] IdleOne: powertool08: Correct! [17:29] powertool08: Same as you could run a .bat file in Windows... [17:29] powertool08 nite_johnboy ##windows would be a good place to ask for windows commands [17:30] powertool08: -s is shutdown and -c is comment, although there isn't one, so there's no point including -c. (eg. you would have -c "shutting down soon...") [17:30] i need help to set up my saa713x pci tv tuner, please pm me if you can :) [17:31] Can I have gnome allow pidgin IM windows to steal focus (preferably only when I hit a certain hotkey) or is it globally yes/no on windows stealing focus? [17:31] IdleOne: I do not use Windows as least as possible - just using this as an example of What I would like to accomplish in Ubuntu - UNderstand ? ? [17:31] nite_johnboy, yes I see [17:31] emorris: ah, good to know I guess? I don't use windows much these days :D [17:31] hi [17:32] can brasero be used to copy factory discs ? I was able to copy in the past with the built in burner [17:32] powertool08: yeah, same :). after using BASh for such a long time, i hate how useless a DOS shell is [17:32] cygwin/bash+python for the rescue [17:32] :) [17:33] thats what i use to make my life easier [17:33] :) [17:33] nite_johnboy, if you create a launcher and use the shutdown command it will open a terminal asking for password. is that what you want? [17:34] hi [17:34] hi [17:34] nite_johnboy, I guess you could write a bash script and link a launcher to that script. google for tutorials for bash [17:35] IdleOne: Thanks for your patience - Yes thats close - just want the command to do everything w/out having to input password - ? [17:35] i hav a question [17:35] let me try again, what fstab options do i use to mount a device in MY home directory so I own it and can use it??? [17:35] tmg just ask [17:35] nite_johnboy, problem with that is that you don't want a launcher to "know" your sudo password. [17:36] IdleOne: On the 1st one you just posted - that would be ok if all was needed was P/Word input. [17:36] is it correct that on the os ubuntu downloading is much faster than downloading on win xp? sorry i am clueless on ubuntu though i hav it [17:37] tmg it has always seemed faster to me than any Win OS [17:37] tmg: your download speed is determined by your internet provider, not your operating system. [17:37] hi, a lot of my programs are really laggy. it was fine before i tried to enable the accelerated driver. I've disabled that, and tired reconfiguring xserver-xorg, deleting xorg.conf, and letting it create a new one, etc, etc. But it's still really laggy. Anything else I could try? (Also some of my keys work wrong, like the arrow keys don't work, quite possibly related.) [17:37] Shoud there be any reason why 8.10 is much slower on my T42 than 7.10? [17:38] Probably doing more. [17:38] nite_johnboy, there is a way to create a password file the bash script would look at to get the needed privs but I do not know how to do that :/ I have seen others talk about it in here though [17:38] IdleOne: Ah - ok - totally agree - You know I really do use linux most all the time and spout it to everyone how great it is - but there are some things I still need to use Windows for until I can figure out how to get the same things to work or accomplish the same in Linux .... Comment if you like. [17:38] anyone familiar with the noscript firefox addon? There is one page I visit often which redirects, it always stops it and I have to allow the redirection but I didn't see an option to always allow, I even have the page set to allow everything [17:39] Is there a way to right click and sort a menu by name? [17:39] ugh these fonts are killing me too. I'm definitely going back to 7.10. Was 7.10 the last release in 7.x? [17:40] Yes. [17:40] Normally Ubuntu as far as I know releases every 6 months, 4 and 10 [17:40] in "input source [mic]" in alsamixer I can't put volume. it's on 0 always, and I can't record anything with my mic. any ideas what can cause this? [17:40] ok [17:40] I'm using 10 now. I like it, but fonts look so different and its hard to read them [17:41] IdleOne: Thanks much - I appreciate it - Will do some googleing - see what else I can find as well - Want to learn more about using Terminal - So this would be a great 1st time out exercise .... [17:41] but I assume 7.10 is going to be EOL soon :( [17:41] manlymat_83: wouldn't it be easier to change the fonts than to downgrade? [17:41] You can figure out how to change to the 7.10 fonts [17:41] well, all i've heard and read is that the ubuntu community is SOOOO helpful yet you can't even acknowledge my question. Thanks for nothing!!! [17:41] manlymat_83, what is so hard to read about them? if anything they are about 200X easier to read [17:41] earthling: same for me :( [17:41] Rooster, it's personal preference [17:42] I hate the Windows clear type font but some people like it [17:42] How can I force eth2 to be eth0? [17:42] and I I use gnome-alsamixer, and click "input source" checkbox, it's not saving it [17:42] vahnx, lol you hate anti aliased fonts? [17:42] earthling: I think that you mind need to rephrase your question - someone would be more then willing to help! [17:42] How do I manually map a value onto my keyboard? My quote key is coming up blank after a new installation of Gutsy [17:42] vahnx, wow [17:42] might [17:43] ? [17:43] eix: maybe nobody knows, wait awhile and try again when different people are here [17:43] powertool08: I meanwhile created manually /target directory and mounted there the needed partition [17:43] but I don't know what will happen when it will be time of setting up the boot partition [17:43] shall I mount it in /target/boot ? [17:44] rooster, what do you mean by wow? [17:44] server irc.rampletea.com [17:44] ups [17:44] Rooster: perhaps its just me, but the fonts in 8.10 are horrible. They are fuzzy, etc. I'm sure there's ways to change them, but the fonts in 7.10 looked amazing [17:44] sorry [17:44] and, 8.10 seems quite slower. [17:44] manlymat_83, then use 8.04 [17:44] though, the only thing I worry about is if I go back to 7.10, it may be EOL before the next release comes out [17:44] Most Ubuntu distros require at least 512 to function at a tolerable pace [17:44] 8.04 is the same problem [17:44] I have 2 GB [17:44] Its a T42 with 2 GB RAM, single processor though [17:45] hello [17:45] hi skeeel [17:45] You can try changing from Gnome to XFCE, it's like gnome only much faster [17:45] eix: I have /boot [17:45] vahnx: xubuntu? [17:45] Or fluxbox, but not as useful [17:45] No, you can just install XFCE in Ubuntu [17:45] powertool08: this is not a real Ubuntu system..I am installing Ubuntu with the MinimalD [17:45] i have a dual screen , all is ok but i want to know if there a possiblity to add a edge resistance (so the mouse don't go from screen to screen easily ? [17:45] *C [17:46] You dont need to install xubuntu [17:46] Is there a difference between installing xfce in ubuntu and running xubuntu>? [17:46] manlymat_83, that fuzziness you are speaking of is antialiasing... how the human eye is supposed to view text. You either have a horrible resolution monitor, or you have an lcd hooked up with a VGA cable and your vphasing is off [17:46] Xubuntu comes with probably different software bundled [17:46] eix: I install using the minimal cd's as well [17:46] like instead of gedit theres mousepad [17:46] manlymat_83, i will say no , but no 100% sure === jorgevargas is now known as elpargo [17:46] Rooster: I'm in 1024x768 on a T42 [17:46] powertool08: ok, but the new-system-boot is not on /boot, that is the CD's boot [17:46] You can install Fluxbox, that would definately speed you up =D [17:47] ya... haven't heard of someone running 1024X768 for about the last 6 years or so [17:47] How do I map quotedbl onto 0x30 [17:47] CRT or LCD? [17:47] All machines at the college run 1024x768 [17:47] LCD [17:47] whats the native res? 1024X768? [17:47] yeah [17:48] eix: I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but on my system I made a small 100 mb or so partition for boot kernels and mounted it at /boot [17:48] Anyone know of a way to automate the process of sorting items in the Gnome menu [17:48] How do I map shift-quotedbl onto 0x30? [17:48] alphabetically [17:48] the antialiasing methods used you can either choose between cleartype (like windows), mac or no anti aliasing [17:48] you dont have to downgrade to get the fonts to look how they did in the old one [17:49] powertool08: my problem is that the partition wizard did not recognize my partitions, so I went directly to the next step (install base system) by creating /target and mounting the root partition there === yumi is now known as Yumi [17:49] RoosterJuice, 'subpixel', not cleartype [17:49] I am now wondering what will happen when the system needs to know about the boot partition [17:49] cwillu, same shit different name [17:49] Rooster: where would I choose those? [17:49] its in your appearance panel [17:49] System / Preferences / Appearance? [17:50] eix: sorry, I don't have a clue what will happen, I've never had it not recognize my partions [17:50] mmh..seems like everything is being put in /target/boot [17:50] powertool08: ok, thanks anyway [17:50] RoosterJuice, watch your language [17:50] you can chose the font and also the antialiasing method used [17:50] How can I stop the kvm and kvm_intel module from loading at boot? I already added them to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [17:50] Hello. Anyone knows AVI (or any video) to animated GIF convertor? Or at least smthng which saves all frames to pictures within a video selection? Thanx [17:50] Any ideas why my sound stops working and needs a system reboot to work after my upgrade to 8.10 ? It was fine before the upgrade. [17:50] cwillu, watch your facts [17:50] and it's called subpixel, calling it cleartype just causes confusion, as neither the config dialog nor the config files use that word [17:50] as long as we're watching facts [17:51] its called antialiasing if oyu want to be specific [17:51] antialiasing is seperate from subpixel [17:51] you don't need an lcd for antialiasing [17:51] you dont need an lcd for either [17:51] hello! [17:52] subpixel? you need something that has the rgb in a particular order, which doesn't include crts [17:52] cwillu and RoosterJuice make me think of http://xkcd.com/386/ :) [17:52] could anyone give me some support with installing an wine asio driver? [17:52] When does 7.10 EOL? Anyone know? [17:53] powertool08, you must have that link saved somewhere convenient, and you bring it out every day [17:53] neat [17:53] RoosterJuice: no, just googled for xkcd somebody wrong internet actually [17:53] yes! an opportunity to use my clevar link [17:54] BAM CLEVER LINK OWNAGE [17:54] hello there [17:54] could anyone give me some support with installing an wine asio driver? === UnknownUser56 is now known as UnknownUser57 === UnknownUser57 is now known as UnknownUser56 [17:54] anyone instaled ubuntu 8.10 without getting stuck' [17:55] i always get stuck on usb storage [17:55] this is going to sound stupid...but ok im stupid....is there a quicklaunch appliet for your home dir?

Anyway, let me take another look. brb [17:59] Hi.

[19:18] I want to create an alternate key mapping for competitive video games. Can somebody help me with that? [19:18] luigi: by the way, there's also a very good #apache [19:18] scientes_: lsof /dev/snd/* [19:18] thanks ikonia and erUSUL [19:18] anyhow, anyone able to point me to a good resource on X mouse configuration? [19:18] scientes_: sudo lsof /dev/snd/* [19:19] my max res is 800x600, should be 1900x1200, how can i fix this? this is my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/75355/ [19:19] scientes_: but just running 'pulseaudio --stop && pulseaudio --start' should free it - ignore the errors [19:19] nbeebo: you can stop asking every 10 seconds [19:19] ikonia, ok. found it! changing /var/www readeble by www-data [19:19] If the kernel panics should i be seeing a message describing the panic somewhere? [19:19] phantomcircuit: not normally, but sometimes [19:19] phantomcircuit: don't count on it [19:19] phantomcircuit: depends on the type of panic [19:19] scientes_: you haven't stated Modes in that file.... [19:20] scientes_: umm, that wasn't intended for you [19:20] phantomcircuit: :D [19:20] ikonia, i changed... but localhost don't work.... [19:20] nbeebo: you haven't stated Modes in that file.... [19:20] noglorp, for real.... [19:20] nbeebo, you're on 8.10? [19:20] luigi: ubottu is apache running now ? [19:21] can anyone point me to a good IRC channel for help with xorg configuration (if noone here can help me with mouse issues) [19:21] noglorp: 'xorg [19:21] noglorp: #xorg [19:21] dur >< [19:21] ikonia, yes.. it work, but, i've not permession.. [19:22] luigi: show me ls -la /var/www in a pastebin [19:22] cwillu: no im on 8.04, ive had max res before, but after kernel updates it gets back to 1600x1200 [19:22] phantomcircuit, this might be way off, but /var/log/kern.log might be what you want [19:22] I did "sudo shutdown -F -r now" and fsck didn't automatically check my disk at startup [19:22] and I'm off to #xorg [19:22] nbeebo, does it work properly if you just get rid of the xorg.conf file? [19:23] cwillu: then reboot? [19:23] cwillu: it is likely ignoring it now anyways due to BulletProofX, so no biggy [19:23] there need to be an easier way to reset sound [19:23] mker: sudo touch /forcefsck [19:23] /etc/init.d/alsa reset and reload di not work, i had to force quit everything attached to snd and remove and reload the module [19:23] nbeebo, reboot or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [19:23] hi [19:23] scientes_: easier than pulseaudio --restart ? [19:23] i tried to uninstalled ultamatix, but its still giving me the same problem [19:24] fde, well, 'ignoring' would mean 'using bullet-proof because of xorg.conf issues' in this case :p [19:24] Is there any way to get parted to write filesystem changes and write a filesystem without a reboot, just as fdisk does? [19:24] ~$ pulseaudio --restart [19:24] pulseaudio: unrecognized option '--restart' [19:24] E: main.c: Failed to parse command line. [19:24] Anil_1, reinstall a genuine Ubuntu from www.ubuntu.com from scratch. what you have now is not a supported system. [19:24] cwillu: well no, BulletProofX ignored it no matter what... its a feature :/ [19:24] Anil_1, you're kinda in 'reinstall ubuntu' mode unfortunately. It would be possible to clean things up, but it's not easy [19:24] How can I check my wireless cards taht are available? like in windows in device manager and disable/enable them ? [19:25] cwillu: ignores* [19:25] fde, bulletproofx only kicks in if the main xorg fails for some reason. Are you confusing the autoconfiguration with bulletproof, perhaps? [19:25] fde, if you have an xorg.conf file, that'll override the autodetection [19:25] i did a reinstall of ubuntu but amsn doesn't upgrade [19:25] have u tried upgrading amsn? [19:25] hi there [19:25] Does UBUNTU see my USB wireless adapter automatically ? [19:25] yes [19:25] Anil_1: no, you did not. stop lying to us. [19:26] how do I manage the gnome keyring in intrepid? [19:26] cwillu: then why doesn't it here? adding modes and other things to that file has no effect with BulletProofX [19:26] i formatted my pc [19:26] i had windows [19:26] can someone help me with octal phpbb permissions please [19:26] lenswipe: was that answer to me ? [19:26] gigel2006: if it has drivers for it it should [19:26] i installed ubuntu 2 times [19:26] like i format and then install [19:26] gigel2006: do "iwconfig" [19:26] i ran DBAN [19:26] I installed Ubuntu 8.10 via wubi and now I need to get files from my Windows partition. How do I go about mounting that partition? [19:26] erUSUL: ok [19:26] fde, 'here' meaning? [19:26] gigel2006: yes it was, im not saying for definate, but it should do [19:26] theclaw: Applications > Accessories > Passwords and Encryption Keys ? [19:26] cwillu: this box? [19:26] can someone help me with file permissions [19:26] Anil_1: you can't have reinstalled in 5 minutes. don't lie to us. [19:26] phpbb file permissions help requied please [19:26] i didn't do now [19:26] fde, chipset, attached monitor, etc... [19:26] octal permissions [19:27] how do I disable the iptables firewall in Ubuntu 8.10 [19:27] but last week i had same problem [19:27] and now its again giving me same problem [19:27] nvm [19:27] erUSUL: I already have a wireless card, might it be conflicting ? [19:27] fde: thanks [19:27] anil_1: then you still have the same distribution that you had when you asked 5 minutes ago, and that IS NOT a supported distribution, because you have a ton of completely unsupported repositories enabled. reinstall from scratch. [19:27] cwillu: the monitor is crap, but the Screen Resolution tool allows the resolution I want.... [19:27] cwillu: If I turn off BulletProofX, it works system wide too [19:27] gigel2006: there is o reason for that. you may have as many wlan* interfaces as cards are in the system and even more [19:28] like what repositories? [19:28] How can I get the "middle mouse button click" function in Firefox? ie. click the sroll wheel to scroll web pages [19:28] Anil_1: I think you were told to reinstall... never touch ultimatix again === web_know1 is now known as web_knows [19:28] oh ok thanx [19:29] Anil_1: all the ones in the Ultamatix section. [19:29] fde, xrandr 1.2 isn't bulletproofx === Aragon^ is now known as Aragon [19:29] bulletproofx is the automatic failover to vesa if xorg can't start with the normal config for some reason [19:30] I am trying to create an Ubuntu installation USB from Debian, using UNetbootin. But the contents of the .iso file are not extracted in the USB, after the process ends. Any help, please? [19:30] fde, for several drivers, the xorg syntax to specify modes is different than it used to be; making use of xrandr style configuration [19:30] cwillu: umm... bulletproofx according to the related wiki pages on freedesktop.org is the autoconfiguration methods of Xorg... [19:30] Hello. I'm looking for some assistance with Intrepid and E17 on a laptop [19:30] cwillu: maybe the X developers are confused though? [19:30] cwillu: else you should stop assuming I'm dumb [19:30] erUSUL: ok I fixed it, it seems the alfa 500mw has to be connected to 2 usb ports ! [19:31] erUSUL: thanks [19:31] Nevermind. I found it under /host [19:31] fde, I'm not assuming your dumb, but you're trying to tell me that xorg.conf's are ignored, and they're not [19:31] gigel2006: power requirements i guess. there is a limit on the omunt of power a single usb port provides [19:31] I am trying to create an Ubuntu installation USB from Debian, using UNetbootin. But the contents of the .iso file are not extracted in the USB, after the process ends. Any help, please? [19:32] fde, if he had driver "vesa", he's probably not using the right driver, xorg autodetection won't override that [19:32] cwillu: I am telling you turning off bulletproofx fixes the resolution issues here... you're apparently telling me this is not valid? [19:32] At least, I can't see them through nautilus. [19:32] cwillu: anyway, we shouldn't be arguing in here... /msg me if you want [19:34] how do I install a local package? [19:34] I have installed 8.10 and have given the LiveUSB tool a try. I checked "persistence" and gave myself 128m of space. But when I created a text file on the desktop, it wouldn't let me save. All I had done other than that was attempt (and fail) to get my wifi card to work (requiring fw-cutter) [19:34] I mean, I have the package file [19:34] any ideas? [19:35] Aperculum, sudo dpkg -i package.deb [19:35] cwillu: "... that xorg.conf's are ignored, ..." according to release notes of intrepid Input devices sections of Xorg are indeed ignored nowadays [19:35] cwillu: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#X.Org%20Input%20Devices [19:35] erUSUL, input devices is seperate from video modes [19:35] cwillu: indeed [19:35] help, I have the alfa 500mw and I'm running airodump in ubuntu and I have no PWR, I know it has something to do with mac80211, what can I do ? [19:36] erUSUL, the entries are actually commented out on upgrade, although I wouldn't be surprised if they were ignored even if they weren't [19:36] erUSUL: sudo touch /forcefsck only checked my first harddrive with Ubuntu on it. Not the second one. [19:36] hey guys, how do you securely delete data so that it can not be recovered? [19:36] mker: well the second one can be umopunted and checked with the system running?? [19:37] soho: use wipe [19:37] Hey all, I'm gonna upgrade my gfx card 8600GT -> 9800GT do I need to remove my nvidia-drivers first, and then reinstall then again, once I've changed the card? [19:37] Greeitngs all [19:37] i dont want to wipe my hardddrive [19:37] laku, what drivers are you using now?

[19:55] hmm too a billion years but, i removed xorg conf, black screen when reboot, did Xorg -configure, moved it to xorg.conf and changed to vesam and im sure i still got 800x600 [19:55] histo: ok, thanks. I'll change the card now. [19:55] took* vesa** [19:56] nope [19:56] dun have it [19:56] I have: [19:56] laku, from what I understand envyng takes care of some things for you making it easier. But I think either way is easier. You should be able to change the card and install the drivers later if you have issues. [19:56] 01:09.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T [14e4:4401] (rev 01) [19:56] Slayer, yeah thats wired. [19:56] doofy`, ssh system config is in /etc/ssh - but user stuff (like their public key) is in their homedir/.ssh/ [19:56] the thing I think I am having my problem with is this though: [19:56] Slayer, There are some issues with linux and that belkin card I can tell you that. [19:56] 01:06.0 CardBus bridge [0607]: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c475 [1180:0475] (rev 81) [19:56] another question.. when i installed from envyng my screen got black.. [19:56] _ViTiNhOw_ modem 3g? [19:56] doug__, got it. thanks [19:57] Slayer, Nah your belkin card is known to have issues. [19:57] does anyone know where i can get a deb of Dolphin-emu? the website is down so i cant get it there [19:57] <_ViTiNhOw_> HaxorPrime no =/ it's a SpeedStream (4200) [19:57] Sound was working but now isn't. Running 8.10 with gnome and (default) pulseaudio for playback. No audio tool including paplay will make a sound come out of speakers or headphones. alsamixer shows pulseaudio bar up to max. Hints on how to debug would be most welcome. I'm not inclined to try some of the workarounds on the forums as it _was_ working [19:57] and all the sites that host it only host the windows version [19:57] so I gotta re-install XP [19:57] is what you're telling me [19:57] meoblast001, i would google it.. im noob tho [19:58] Slayer, no, we is telling you to get better wireless card :) [19:58] I HATE XP/ >.< [19:58] Slayer, you can try lshw [19:58] I am broke [19:58] Slayer, xp NICE FOR GAMES [19:58] Slayer, is this a usb wifi dongle? [19:58] meoblast001: getdeb.net is one place to try [19:58] I can either get my card working or go back to XP [19:58] dongle? [19:58] Slayer, is it a usb wifi adapter or is this built it? [19:58] he said it was a card.....pcmcia [19:58] <[NNUser]> hi [19:58] he said it was a card.....pcmcia? === [NNUser] is now known as Sebooo [19:59] hi [19:59] It slides into a slot. It's a laptop card. (And oddly, my desktop has a card slot.) [19:59] its not there [19:59] in getdeb [19:59] Slayer: usb wifi = wifi dongle... usually [19:59] Slayer, ahh okay try sudo pccardctl ident [19:59] How can I check if I have the r8187 driver installed ? [19:59] y [19:59] Slayer, it's called pcmcia card. Old style. I use one too. I use hauwei [19:59] gigel2006: modinfo maybe? [20:00] is it possible to use software raid 1 with luks without LVM? has someone done it and can help me how to do it? [20:00] danbhfive: ok I';m going to try it [20:00] Slayer, basically you need to use ndiswrapper and the windows drivers to get that card to work. [20:01] yeah, ndiswrapper could do it [20:01] but he haz no internets, lol [20:01] If I use xfs for my / partition, do I need a separate /boot? [20:01] Hey guys! The xmonad and xmonad-contrib in the Ubuntu Hardy repos is of version 0.5. How can I get the latest version? [20:01] n [20:01] there's offline ways of doing it. [20:01] no === Sebooo is now known as oooo [20:01] you are WRONG [20:01] Slayer, from where are you chatting? [20:01] .

[20:02] i can haz spellings lessonz? [20:03] :P [20:03] I am chatting from a comp in the room beside mine [20:03] mine has the linux comp [20:03] still cant find Dolphin-emu [20:03] nikki: backports or prevu maybe [20:03] Slayer, let me send you a site it has directions for ndiswrapper. Also I'll send you a site about getting the card detected. You should be able to follow the directions to get everythign working. [20:03] Slayer, it will be difficult to get software on your Ubuntu 8.10 without a package manager [20:04] and for that you need inet access. That's the conndrum [20:04] I can get the files onto my Ipod and put them on my other computer [20:04] and ndiswrapper is working [20:04] Slayer, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D8010 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide#check [20:04] What is a good hosting provider that is reliable and moderately priced? [20:04] xorand, no its not a problem [20:04] Hello. Can Rhythmbox have gapless playback? [20:04] MindVirus: Yes [20:04] histo, it is for beginners [20:04] hi guys, has anyone used ENVY? [20:04] Slayer, just look at the directions for the offline mode. [20:04] erk1, ? [20:04] !anyone | calwig [20:04] calwig: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [20:05] i am trying to install the ATI driver for a Dell Laptop. Can anyone help me [20:05] Sorry to repeat, but I think my msg got drownded: If I use xfs for my / partition, do I need a separate /boot? [20:05] xorand, thats why we have step by step directions in the wiki. help.ubuntu.com [20:05] !wifi > xorand [20:05] xorand, please see my private message [20:05] histo: thx for ur help [20:05] ska_: http://thefreehosts.com/ [20:05] cheeky [20:05] MindVirus: Check edit: preferences: playback: enable crossfade backend [20:05] mhh, why is ubuntu slower on my laptop than windows ? [20:05] erk1, that's not gapless. [20:05] hi kyleN [20:05] MindVirus: Yes it is, check Rhythmbox docs [20:06] calwig, are you using envyng hopefully? [20:06] I have a web server, and am trying to display a bunch of images. They're not showing up, and I get a message about them being corrupt. If I open up in GIMP, save (make no changes) and close, then they will display in the browser. ANy idea why this is, and how to avoid opening/saving all 800 of them? [20:06] !envyng > calwig [20:06] calwig, please see my private message [20:06] dude [20:06] MindVirus: I had the exact same reaction as you, but I read up on it and tadaa, gapless playback [20:06] gotta go. Have to catch Quantum of Solace. Laters... [20:06] erk1, roger. Thanks. [20:06] !ati > calwig [20:06] this line does NOT come up [20:06] 03:00.0 Ethernet Controller: Airgo Networks Inc AGN100 802.11 a/b/g True MIMO Wireless Card [17cb:0001] (rev 01) [20:06] I's the slot I slide my card into [20:06] Slayer, read the other link I sent you for that issue [20:06] if i do Xorg -configure and get the file xorg.conf.new(?) is it just to move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf or should i rename it === katherineD is now known as Guest30635 [20:07] I saw something about a patch in google searches. (But can't find the patch DL.) [20:07] Slayer, does the card work in windows? [20:07] ywa [20:07] yes* [20:07] Slayer, well what kind of laptop do you have? [20:07] erk1, not quite gapless, but closer. [20:07] I have a Dell PC [20:07] desktop [20:07] Slayer, with a pcmcia slot? === Dedi is now known as dedi_away [20:08] MindVirus: Then it's most likely a problem with the tracks themselves. Most of my music plays back with flawless gapless [20:08] craigbass1976: gthumb could help you automate it, especially if they're all in one directory. If you need a robust command line tool, maybe imagemajick. [20:08] like I said, only PC I've evr seen that takes laptop cards [20:08] erk1, when played through my iPod it is perfect. [20:08] ok say my mother board died on my server [20:08] yep, with one of those slots [20:08] Want a pic? [20:08] Slayer, okay that is goofy. What model of dell. [20:08] what are my chances of bring up my raid array on a new mobo [20:08] Just to be sure it's the slot? [20:08] histo: thanks for the info :) [20:08] Insperon [20:08] calwig, np [20:08] MindVirus: Then it's fishy. You could try sliding the slider up to something other than 0.0 [20:08] Slayer: does the card show up when you run lspcmcia? [20:09] Slayer, You have to be more specific. Inspiron ???? What there is usually a number after that. [20:09] 1 min [20:09] erk1, slider's not at 0.0. [20:09] It's at 1.5. [20:09] if i do Xorg -configure and get the file xorg.conf.new(?) is it just to move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf or should i rename it too? [20:09] let me get the pages saved and to the PC [20:09] But I have it set so that it doesn't crossfade between songs on the same album. [20:09] MindVirus: Then try putting it at 0.0. Also, did you restart Rhythmbox? [20:09] Thought I did, but I'll do it again. [20:09] hey in 8.04 where is the external monitor option? [20:09] jimcooncat, just read somewhere that they might be CMYK encoded, instead of rgb. FF has issues with that I guess; I have not tested on IE. I'm guessing imagemajick could switch them in one fell swoop... [20:09] Slayer, also does the card have lights on it and do they light up when you insert it? [20:10] like i want to extend my desktop onto a second monitor. [20:10] Um.. no lights at the moment [20:10] erk1, nope. [20:10] Doesn't do the trick. [20:10] Slayer, and does the computer beep at all? You can try to eject the card then type in sudo dmesg -c then insert the card and type in dmesg and see if there is any output. [20:10] be right back [20:11] and it's never beeped when I put in/removed the card, not even with XP [20:11] nbeebo: mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf - this will replace the file old file with the new. backup the old file incase things go wrong. [20:11] craigbass1976: that's a good guess, and worth a try. good luck! [20:11] Slayer: also check lspcmcia === ska_ is now known as ska [20:11] MindVirus: Okay, my settings are: Enable crossfade, 0.0, crossfade within album. But when listening closely, you're right, it's not entirely flawless, but it is almost indistinguishable. [20:12] Mine clicks. [20:12] Noticeably. [20:12] my volume indicator [20:12] when you use multimedia keys [20:12] is floating on top of everything and is dead. xkill won't kill it [20:12] is there a way to get rid of it? [20:12] MindVirus: Mine did that with tracks I separated myself using mp3splt, but for the rest of the archive it's all good. [20:13] Nah. [20:13] Still does it, even with your settings. [20:13] Gnuyen: restart your x session, ctrl-alt-backspace. save your work first, of course [20:13] How can I use apt-get update to install r8187 ? [20:13] server irc.a0hell.org [20:14] Dolphin-Emu is telling me im missing opengl extentions or my opengl renderer is broke... how do i fix this [20:14] without logging out and back in [20:14] preferably === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [20:15] jotil: ive done it 2 times already without making backup, but theres some files that says backup then date, theres only 1 from november, should i use the second oldest one? [20:15] n/m i just killed the panel [20:15] and it worked [20:15] thanks! [20:15] jotil: from august [20:15] guys, is ubuntu stil slow in graphics ? [20:16] Gnuyen: that's good, I usually end up with seahorse in limbo when I do that [20:16] hi [20:16] !who > Slayer [20:16] Slayer, please see my private message [20:16] matboy: i dont use 3d at the moment but theres the infamous flash problem... [20:16] is anyone able to help me set up open vpn on my ubuntu box? would like to be able vpn in and mount my samba shares remotely ? [20:16] they know if exist xchat for web ? [20:16] nbeebo: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak-08nov21 - this will backup the current file [20:17] nbeebo: I installed XP again for a dualboot [20:17] Can anyone help point me to a good tutorial as to how I might be able to install an earlier kernel than 2.6.27-7. [20:17] but man XP is fats comparing to Ubuntu or Linux itself [20:17] *fast [20:17] wow that Wubi is unbelieveable :D [20:17] nbeebo: then move the xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11 [20:18] jotil: ok [20:18] nbeebo: and rename it to xorg.conf [20:18] did you just say xp is faster than linux? LOL [20:18] wubi is the neatest thing ever done for linux :D [20:18] Din|BSD: in graphics it is [20:18] MatBoy: XP is was made 6 years ago, for the hardware available at that time. Ubuntu 8.10 is made for modern computers :) [20:19] erk1: hehe, it's kinda slow on my 4 screens so I know it's an GPU issue === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [20:19] Can i install intrepid over hardy from the cd basically start over with intrepid? but not lose the data on my hdd? [20:19] Can anyone tell me how to make Xorg retain my monitor resolution settings on Intrepid ? When I use my laptop's display everything looks fine. When I attach my monitor to it, it won't switch to 1280x1024, without me manually changing the resolution. If I reboot, I have to change the resolution to 1280x100024, log out and log back in. [20:19] how do i remove pulseaudio from my ubuntu, leaving alsa to reign in glory? [20:20] or make it work with counter-strike source [20:20] :p [20:20] i have alot of free space on this drive, i used wubi to install it under 2000 on a server. now can i use gparted to expand the space for ubuntu? [20:20] phantomcircuit: backup the data and then install and restore the data [20:20] jotil, it's sort of a lot of data, it's not the end of the world if i lose it but id rather not have to download again [20:20] sambagirl, yeah but the drive may need to be unmounted to expand the space. You may have to boot from the install cd [20:21] phantomcircuit: create a partition, move it there. [20:21] umm i see histo. and get this! the wirleless worked straight away! :D [20:22] wow it worked! :D [20:22] is ther a possibility to catch an error from aptitude if a package is not existend ? [20:22] Anyone know how to install an older kernel? [20:23] hey, are there any open source programs for learning languages (i.e. italian) [20:23] donjr i guess by using talk [20:24] i never use it but i remember there is utility name as talk [20:25] or you can do it [20:25] by using simple file [20:25] echo "hi how are you" >> talkfile.txt [20:25] you don't even need to open it [20:25] sambagirl: see "How do I resize the virtual disks?" near bottom of this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [20:26] hi there, I'm having problems using "dd" while trying to make a backup of my ipod onto an ISO IMAGE, I keep getting Input/Output error at the moment it's copied 40 MB and it quits, please advice [20:26] how do i remove pulseaudio from my ubuntu, leaving alsa to reign in glory? [20:26] or make it work with counter-strike source [20:26] :p [20:26] is there any simple 3d modeler for linux like google sketchup? [20:26] yes NiceEXe [20:26] blender [20:26] montpelie: user tar. it is great. [20:26] it's awesome [20:26] wings3d, i think, is for linux, or if ur more serious about it blender, NicEXE [20:26] wings3d is easier and nicer, but blender is more fullfeatured [20:27] I have a machine here running 7.04, I'd like to upgrade to 8.10 .. am I better off doing all the upgrades to 8.10 or just reinstalling with a current cd? [20:27] you must try check out the blender videos on blender.org [20:27] kilgore, reinstalling with a new cd is more foolproof, but if u back up ur things no reason not to try an upgrade, kilgore [20:27] reinstall kilgore [20:27] welll i am waiting for google sketchup come on google we need it google sketchup for linux [20:27] kilgore: you need to go like this: 7.04 -> 7.10 -> 8.04 -> 8.10 [20:27] http://avrillavignenude.info/index.php?c=viral&m=index&id=6ff0353bcdb35ae7f512d84864918da2 [20:27] lo all... I want to check my network usage, and I've read that vnstat does it... how do I set it to always be logging my network activity, and how do I get it to start? [20:27] i think we need to ban that clooth fellow [20:27] Hikefu: that's what I was thinking.. was hoping you'd tell me the easy way would work [20:27] kilgore: back up your /home, and make a file with your package names [20:28] kilgore: three upgrades. or you can fresh install 8.10. [20:28] does anyone here know why dolphin-emu would be outputting "Can't create opengl renderer. You might be missing some required opengl extensions, check the logs for more info" [20:28] there is nothing on this machine worth saving [20:28] i cant find the logs [20:28] kilgore: nuke it [20:28] i have update my 7.04 to 8.04 last month just few days back i update 8.04 to 8.10 [20:28] only reason I have 7.04 on it is that was the cd I happened to have available [20:28] umer: i miss cinema 4d [20:29] well any one has idea about google chorome when it will available for linux [20:29] Need help with procedure 4 in this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=372011 [20:29] i dunno but stay wary, google IS trying to take over the world, umer [20:29] my ubuntu is using the restricted drivers but I would like to try using the open source ati drivers, how do I do this?

[20:39] jotil: not even an error related to the mp3 files [20:39] I'm having a problem setting a zd1211b wireless adapter in Master mode, anyone can help me? [20:39] how do you use the "magnifier" binary? [20:40] montpelie: go without compressing because it doesn't help your cause. mp3 files are compressed anyways. [20:40] I want to check my network usage, and I've read that vnstat does it... how do I set it to always be logging my network activity, and how do I get it to start? [20:41] Reenen: use SNMP with mrtg [20:41] best thing out there [20:41] hi all - I'm getting a black screen with only a cursor when I login to GNOME.. any ideas how to diagnose? (since I can't start any apps once it gets to that stage) [20:41] jotil: so I should install mrtg? [20:41] jotil: contacts, calendars, recordings, ipod control, notes ............. actually everything .... and I can tell it's not a filesystem issue as it works great [20:41] exit [20:41] :d [20:42] jotil: to let you know, I am issuing commands as superuser [20:42] montpelie: great! now burn the file to the CD. you are done. [20:42] hey all [20:42] !hi [20:42] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [20:42] hye danub [20:42] Reenen: lookup mrtg. [20:43] ping me [20:43] ping umer [20:43] anybody know where gnome keeps its logs? [20:43] espc: did you read: http://www.wine-reviews.net/microsoft/running-ms-office-2003-under-linux-with-wine-0952.html [20:43] hello! ubuntu 8.10 amd64 user. Pulseaudio server seems to crash and I can't connect to it using teh manager app [20:44] jotil: another quick question man, am I gonna have any trouble whenever I try to extract the tarball files into another IPOD?, cause the one Iam backing files up from is kinda faulty..... is there anytthing else I should take into account??? [20:44] so, i have this problem where i have port forwarding setup for ssh but since i did a reinstall of ubuntu, its coming up as a dhcp'd addy. I need to know how to change the ip configurtation via the shell because being rpd'd from work -> home -> vmware linux box is laggy as all heck. anyone wanna take a minute to help me reconfigure my ip and make it static? [20:44] ratpoison: try killing its process then starting it from the console so that it gives you output - then you'll have something to diagnose it from [20:44] /var/log [20:44] i guess [20:45] how do i install a usb logitech quickcam on ubuntu (intreped) ? [20:45] montpelie: i do not know much about backing up iPods. sorry about that. [20:45] anyone know? [20:45] elliotjhug: I don't have a pulseaudio process right now [20:45] jotil: dont know maybe the files contained into the ipod folders have some sort of encryption that has to match with the small 9 gb partition containing the firmware [20:46] ratpoison: ok - so just start it from the terminal to see what it says [20:46] Greetings, anyone get a blank "tan" screen when updating 8.04 to 8.10? (old machine) [20:46] jotil: I appreciate your help, thanx [20:46] elliotjhug: /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start ? [20:47] how do i enable mesagl? [20:47] vassler: usually those things "Just work" (TM)... [20:47] montpelie: i have no idea. but usually firmware is kept away from public viewing. i do not know for sure so don't take my word for granted. [20:47] ratpoison: nah - use 'pulseaudio' [20:47] ratpoison: gives you more output [20:47] anyone know how to find and install correct drivers for a usb logitech webcam [20:47] elliotjhug: W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader. [20:47] ? [20:48] elliotjhug: for more precise output, wait for pastebin [20:48] jotil: kk [20:48] elliotjhug: http://pastebin.com/m4235f185 [20:48] joedude: at least i am lucky i just update my ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 my machine 2.66 Pentium D i will consider it as a old hardware [20:48] joedude: it's working really awesome [20:48] anyone know how to find and install correct drivers for a usb logitech quickcam? [20:49] vassler: you insert the device... the type dsmg | tail, then search that exact string [20:49] elliotjhug: I'm also pasting my asoundconf list output [20:49] (in google) [20:49] umer im running 8.04 in a PentiumIII @ 600Mhz, your Pentium D is notthat old [20:49] I have a crontab line that looks like "1/5 * * * * mycommand.sh" and it runs every 5 minutes just fine. However, when I suspend/resume the laptop, the task stops running which is annoying. [20:49] reenen: what does that mean? [20:49] dsmg? tail? [20:49] elliotjhug: http://pastebin.com/m608cd5e9 [20:49] ratpoison: OK - I think the problems most likely to be with it not finding the definitions [20:49] dmesg [20:49] hi i'm seeking a good picture viewer, which can run gif, does anyone know ? [20:50] hi ppl. Now I'm in deep shit! I have tried to install ubuntu 8.10 and 8.04 from two different burnt cd's on my Fujitsu-Siements Lifebook E and failed twice. Further the harddrive is formated so there is nothing left of the old installation (files were backed up, n.p. there). What the ?!¤#" to do? I searched the internet, but found nothing documented about the fail. The problem is that when booting from the cd, first everything works well, up [20:50] lit3l: gwenview :P [20:50] elliotjhug: "definitions" ? [20:50] lit3l: You mean which can show the animations of a gif? [20:50] vassler dmesg -c [20:50] ravn: Please watch your language. Also, you got cut off at "everything works well, up" [20:50] genii: yes [20:50] until either (one of two things happening) 1: the formating of the ext3 partition fails, not saying why or what or 2: the installation fails when copying files, saying there is something wrong with the CD (same on 8.10 and 8.04). An integrity check on the CD [20:50] umer: what does that mean? [20:50] privet [20:51] vassler type whatis dmesg [20:51] Flannel: I'm sorry 'bout the language, I'm getting a bit frustrated with Ubuntu here... [20:51] ?? === remote_ is now known as remote [20:51] it's actually print the current kernel ring buffer [20:51] vassler: what dmsg means is basically debug messages (I assume), and tail means "show me the last 10" [20:51] ravn: you tried both CDs and you get the same problem? [20:51] ravn: that sounds vaguely familiar... does your system havea jmicron controller? [20:51] An integrity check on the CD what? [20:51] dmsg - device messages i thought? [20:52] ratpoison: "Unable to find definition" <-- that problem - does pulseaudio proceed to stay running or does it die? [20:52] jotil: yes, I think you're right [20:52] I have a wifi card working with correct drivers and a lan Inet connection, who can help me create a Wifi hotspot please? [20:52] DJ_Mario: yes [20:52] elliotjhug: it keeps running [20:52] why doesnt ubunutu automaticaly detect a usb web cam?? [20:52] danub_: dunno, what is that? [20:52] like windows might? [20:52] espc: so you put in your device, ask the system for the last 10 device messages, and you should be able to recognise the usb device [20:53] ravn: is it possible that either (1) your optical (CD) drive is failing or (2) both the 8.04 and the 8.10 install CDs are scratched? [20:53] vassler diid for mine [20:53] vassler: it depends on the webcam. Theres a good deal of support for many webcams, not not all [20:53] vassler: It does mine...which on have you got? [20:53] ravn: Did the integrity check pass or fail? [20:53] ratpoison: OK - so it does in the end find something that makes it work. When its running like that can you connect to it from the manager? [20:53] Flannel: pass [20:53] ravn: do you have a jmicron raid controller [20:53] guinnesss: not sure. [20:53] no [20:53] vessler : you can see the short description about command by typing whatis dmesg , whatis ls or you can even use man pages which are really helpfull man dmesg , man ls etc [20:53] is intreptid considered stable or unstable? [20:53] vassler [20:53] connect your cam [20:53] DJ_Mario: well, I don't know, maybe I should try installing from USB or something... [20:53] how do i use software rendering? [20:53] and type the following command dmesg -c and send us the last message of kernel buffer [20:54] ravn: This is the Desktop CD? Have you tried the alternate CD? [20:54] danub_: I don't know, have to check... [20:54] sambagirl: stable - with a 6 month support period [20:54] ok [20:54] elliotjhug: to describe my problem more accurately: pulseaudio seems to start properly and then for some reason it crashes, never to be restored. I can't connect even after running pulseaudio from the terminal [20:54] wierd [20:54] I have a wifi card working with correct drivers and a lan Inet connection, who can help me create a Wifi hotspot please? [20:54] vassler: I have an old webcam here that doesnt work, but my Logitech E3500 works great... [20:54] Flannel: nop [20:54] having a problem with ebox and interpid [20:54] brb [20:55] sup [20:55] ravn: You should try the alternate CD (of course, if its a hardware issue, it wont help, but alternate has more success than desktop in general) [20:55] ravn: i would reburn the 8.10 image onto a new CD before installing it via USB. [20:55] elliotjhug: hmmmm that's a weird coincidence, updates only just showed up, and I have some concerning pulseaudio [20:55] anyone know how to share an internet connection between wlan0(that goes out internet) and eth0(on which i plugged a Windows PC)? [20:55] elliotjhug: I'll check if the updates fix teh prob [20:55] ratpoison: try installing those and see if it helps - otherwise I suggest you ask the guys in #pulseaudio - they know the software like the back of their hand [20:56] I have a wifi card working with correct drivers and a lan Inet connection, who can help me create a Wifi hotspot please? [20:56] elliotjhug: o.k. I didn't realise there was a channel for that... [20:56] vessler: may i know your distro i mean are you using ubuntu 8.10 [20:56] sambagirl: for when your back the intrepid ebox packages are broken - you need to get them from the PPA on launchpad - juse google for it. [20:56] Im currently installing Anjuta from source, but cant find gnome-build anywhere. Cant I locate gnome-build with Synaptic? [20:56] hola [20:56] hello [20:56] i'm getting an error "importerror: no module named feedparser" anyone know how to fix this [20:56] mslot: whats wrong with the version in the repos? [20:56] ratpoison: Well its always best to check with distro first - in case theres a bug thats already known [20:57] Flannel, hmmm I cant find it by searching "gnome-build" :) [20:57] uname -v #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 why don't it's shows the kernel version like 2.6. etc [20:57] mslot: you mean build-essentials? [20:57] earthen, i think you need python-feedparser [20:57] mslot: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/anjuta [20:57] type ver [20:57] i think that gives you the version [20:58] Hikefu, so just apt-get install python-feedparser [20:58] nope [20:58] Flannel, aaah. I cant get code completion to work. I use Ubuntu 8.04. [20:58] type in 'uname -a' [20:58] earthen, yes [20:58] Flannel: what's the alternate cd? [20:58] !alternate [20:58] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [20:58] jotil: mrtg seems to be something different, though can possibly do what I want [20:58] jimcooncat, trying. Thanks. [20:58] I've some problem with java programs inclued in a web.. ¿¿ anyone knows how get best JAVA version for Intrepid Ibex AMD64 ?? [20:58] mslot: you need build-essential, but also, just use anjuta from the repos [20:58] hi,i have a cannon pixma mp240 printer that dosent seem to work under ubuntu,hplip dosent detect it even though its pluged in and is known to work. anyone have a suggstion?? [20:59] anyone know how to share an internet connection between wlan0(that goes out internet) and eth0(on which i plugged a Windows PC)? [20:59] jotil: I am on a 3g phone, and just want to see that what I am charged as using in terms of MB is similar to what I have logged that I've used [20:59] Flannel, cant get Anjuta and code completion to work at all. [20:59] josmar: icedtea is the best you'll get [20:59] Hikefu, thanks man that did [20:59] And I dont use intrepid [20:59] franko: you may want to try googling for bridging - I think that lets you do it [20:59] it [20:59] josmar: at least until sun releases a 64bit plugin [20:59] earthen, great [20:59] josmar: Are you referring to the mozilla java plugin? [20:59] Hikefu, I love this place LOL [20:59] mslot: use the repo version unless you need something special. if you have to make it from source, use checkinstall so you can uninstall it later [21:00] franko, have read something about Firestarter? [21:00] josmar: install ubuntu-restricted-extras [21:00] elliotjhug: I followed this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 [21:00] well, for Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3 [21:00] '; [21:00] josmar: I just install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras and that takes care of the codec / java / flash crapware out of the way with a single package [21:00] it seems to me that Enemy Territory should be available with the ubuntu distro and all linux distros :D [21:00] yaser: yes i tryed firestarter too [21:00] Reenen: we use mrtg at work to measure in/out traffic using snmp traps. [21:00] jimcooncat, I want code completion. Cant get that from source because create_global_tags.sh fails... Dont know why. [21:01] but the other PC is able to connect to my www dir but not to go on internet [21:01] i never can see little orange java animation when starts to load the website [21:01] I havent used checkinstall before. Dont know what it is :) [21:01] mslot: sorry, I'm unfamiliar with your particular software [21:01] franko: try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31632 the iptables approach seems unnessesary [21:01] jotil: I don't understand what that means, but can it do what I want it to do? [21:01] Guys, When I showed my hidden files in the home folder I had a map from a older version of gimp called: .gimp-2.4 can I remove the whole map when I got a map called .gimp-2.6? [21:01] josmar: yes, but does the applet run? [21:01] Reenen: but ithink mrtg will be a overkill for you, use vnstat [21:01] !checkinstall [21:01] 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! [21:02] elliotjhug: ok i will try [21:02] not, but not correctly, not 100% works.. [21:02] Hello everyone. Could anyone give me assistance regarding where my root would be installed on a USB hard drive [21:02] kevin1: I guess yes, though it's risky [21:02] Hello room - i was wondering if i could get some assistance, I been out on vacation and came back home and i can't remember my Ubuntu Account info is there a way i can retrieve the information or reset it or something? "Currently on Windows" [21:02] Hello ROOM [21:02] is it possible to change the ip of a system in a terminal or do i have to use knetworkmanager [21:02] hi all [21:02] jotil: in terms of vnstat... how do I set it to be "on" everytime I use my connection? [21:02] guedesav: So I shall leave it? [21:02] If I use xfs for my / partition, do I need a separate /boot? [21:02] i mounted a ISO file and now every file in it has ";1" after the file extension,what happend? [21:02] i only see full working with a Sun Java plug in running in ms windows system (with firefox too..) [21:02] what is the easiest way to install KDE and related packages? do I need to know all the package names etc? [21:03] Great ubuntu stuff on http://www.digbigbrotherjenson.be , get involved , now ! [21:03] kevin1: well, rename it to something else and run GIMP. If it works fine, then you can just delete it [21:03] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [21:03] MHz128: install kubuntu-desktop [21:03] MHz128: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [21:03] Reenen: call it inside your connection script? or something similar? [21:03] MHz128: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-base and kubuntu-desktop [21:03] Hikefu: Hehe [21:03] guedesav: Okey [21:03] Any PDFFactory Pro alike printer driver fo Ubuntu 8.10 ??? [21:04] Reenen: or run vnstat all the time and set it to measure a certain interface [21:04] jotil: thanks, I think I get it... now I must just figure out how to use vnstat, but "man vnstat" should work fine [21:04] if you have a .run file on it what do you do just click on it to execute it? [21:04] is it possible to get a cannon pixma mp240 printer to work in ubuntu? [21:04] josmar: since Java hasn't coded a 64bit plugin yet, the 64bit arch uses the openJDK and IcedTea plugin. These are open source alternatives to the Sun plugins, but they are not 100% compatible. Now that Sun has freed (?) Java expect to see more progress in the future [21:04] jotil: I'd want it to run the whole time [21:04] Reenen: vnstat documentation will be able to guide you better. [21:04] when i use the original Sun plugin for 64 bits Linux ...then Firewoks blocks, hang, and close.. :-p [21:04] * cwillu jabs fde with a stick [21:04] morth: VERY unspported but - http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=112 woudl work to recover your root password. Then Ctrl Alt F1 from the login screen and add yourself a new user (or if you remember your username just run 'password $username' [21:04] blackpearl: cups-pdf is a simplistic way to "print to pdf" [21:05] morth: that should be 'passwd' not password [21:05] Reenen: to start vnstat at startup - you can put in on your rc.local [21:05] thanks guys! :) [21:05] hi [21:05] sambagirl, pretty much, might have to make it executable first (right click, permissions) [21:05] thanks... I think I'll manage... have a lovely evening! thanks again! [21:05] morth: just boot into recovery mode and do 'passwd ' [21:05] jimcooncat : thanks for the reply. where it is located ?

Its not recognizing it automatically, and the Amazon.com listings say it works with linux kernel 2.6.x [21:11] elliotjhug, cyball: but only able to access my www dir, and not going on internet [21:12] how do i set up a cannon pixma mp240 printer to work in ubuntu? [21:12] ok, i will try, and try and try and try... [21:12] franko: so you want your windows box to connect to a certain directory on your linux box without getting anything else from the network [21:12] ;-) [21:12] elliotjhug: yes [21:13] elliotjhug: no, no sorry [21:13] elliotjhug: i do not need to connect a certain dir [21:13] I need to change the character set in the console so I can write spsnish characters [21:13] franko: so you want the opposite of that? [21:13] I protect the good and crush the evil [21:13] Sound was working but now isn't. Running 8.10 with gnome and (default) pulseaudio for playback. No audio tool including paplay will make a sound come out of speakers or headphones. alsamixer shows pulseaudio bar up to max and every other volume control I can find is turned up. I have rebooted. Hints on how to debug would be most welcome. I'm not inclined to try some of the workarounds on the forums as it _was_ working [21:13] elliotjhug: only an outgoing over internet :( [21:14] elliotjhug, can you help me share my LAN connection, with my Iphone for example, using my Wifi card?

This might sound like a dumb question but any way I can verify that it updated smoothly? [21:14] I have my home drive on its own partition and it died. I can go in a see files using testdisk and everything is still there. I have another disk installed and I want to come how copy the whole partition to another folder then formate it and move everything back. I once used a program that started with mn***** that copied everything bit by bit but I can not find it Any ideas [21:14] elliotjhug, I have followed a lot of tutorials without sucess, dont know what to check [21:14] franko: ok - so I still think that bridging would be your better option - unless you explicitely need that windows box to have an IP address on the network - or for that windows box to host a website of its own [21:15] elliotjhug, I think mi wlan0 is correctly working [21:15] Still_Wandering: No, but by using it to your likings will assure you [21:15] nbeebo, what happens if you delete /etc/xorg.conf and reboot? [21:15] Still_Wandering: HD's are broken and datas can be forkedIO you know [21:16] elliotjhug: question: with bridging option i will give an IP address to the win machine or not? [21:16] cwillu: ive tried that, blank screen [21:16] n [21:16] yaser: its generally considered better ettiquette to ask the channel - or at least wait for the person to respond before going over the whole problem - but I'll still try help. explain what your current setup is for me and what it is exactly you want to achieve [21:16] Well I guess if it dies on me I'll know it didn't go smoothly xP [21:16] i dont know how to change locale and console characters (in a console, i-e doing alt+ctrl+F1, F", etc...), if I open a terminal emulator (konsole) it does work ok since I have the KDE environment configured for the locale es_ES, but in "pure" console it does not show spanisch characters, like accents, and the ñ [21:16] nbeebo, can you give me the log file from that session? [21:16] can anyone help me with my sound? my music and videos play fine but anything in firefox doesnt play sound [21:16] cwillu: theres alot of different files in X11 tho, xorg.conf.1, 2, 3, backups, failsafe backup.. should i try some? [21:16] Does anyone know about using a HueHD webcam in Ubuntu? Its not recognizing it automatically, and the Amazon.com listings say it works with linux kernel 2.6.x [21:16] nbeebo, no, it should detect everything properly [21:17] nbeebo, looking for /var/log/xorg.0.log, right after it gives you a black screen [21:17] franko: not quite sure how it behaves - but it will definitely get an IP address - whether that will be shared with the linux box I don't know [21:17] Great ubuntu stuff on http://www.digbigbrotherjenson.be , get involved , now !

[21:43] laughtear: swap helps, even if you have "enough" ram [21:44] OpenGL is rendering the PS1 bios screen at 1 frame per second [21:44] laughtear, what window manager ? [21:44] laughtear: HUH? [21:44] binarymutant: whatever dude. [21:44] hibernating i guess flashed my /tmp tmpfs which flashed my X protections and access for new apps [21:44] laughtear: Media drank too much MoccaLatte ? [21:44] brb [21:44] i think im just gonna hit myself in the head until i get a new computer [21:44] laughtear, ever tried fluxbox ? and links2 for the browser? They're fast [21:44] i upgraded my ubuntu hardy several months ago, and waiting it to be improved and doing the updates daily [21:44] i am looking at the systme monitor and it shows 4 cpus when i only have 2 cpus installed xeon 2.8ghz ones. why showing me 4? [21:44] but... [21:45] scientes_, I've had issues with hibernation too. Sound not working, network not working, inability to shut down. You should file a bug report. [21:45] Worked fine under hardy :( [21:45] laughtear, you should check out crunchbang linux. it's based on ubuntu hardy. it uses openbox and comes with many great programs. [21:45] SASGrdBrg: my english is not enough to get what you last said [21:45] hibernation sounds like your running windows :D [21:45] my macbook works great :) [21:45] i goto chose an icon for my custom application launcher and i dont see anything [21:45] Stormx2, your problems with are unrelated, mine is solely with tmpfs filesystems, and resultant X problems [21:45] so does my thinkpad with ubuntu [21:45] laughtear, in fact, it has a better selection of ubuntu by far [21:45] :-S [21:46] SilverBullet, No such luck here is what I did and happened http://paste.ubuntu.com/75407/ [21:46] laughtear: Don't worry. I'm a native english speaker and I didn't understand what he said ^^ [21:46] better selection of preinstalled programs [21:46] does java work on 64 bit ubuntu [21:46] Hikefu: i'm tired of running here to there, something to another... need to use my pc as a home user these days buddy [21:46] Stormx2: LOL [21:46] javajuice64, yes. [21:46] SilverBullet, BTW thanks for taking time to lend a hand [21:46] why does system monitor show 4 cpus for me when i just have 2? and al l4 are active. [21:46] laughtear: You could use some more learnage then i guess [21:46] sambagirl, are they all giving different readings? [21:46] Stormx2: could you help me troubleshoot then? I think I have the right packages and everything [21:47] how do i find out which version of flash i have??? [21:47] Stormx2: but java web applications aren't working for me [21:47] !java | javajuice64, have you read this page? [21:47] javajuice64, have you read this page?: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [21:47] hi, anyone know how to debug or fix 'Insufficient power to operate USB device.'? [21:48] i'll remember that SASGrdBrg, but now improving to spell your nickname... i think that'd be a real study to make you enough tired.. [21:48] wow maybe i have 4 cpus in here? :D [21:48] system actually displays 4 [21:48] resources shows all 4 active [21:48] Crewsr3: watch the syslog while running the command and see what is says... the fs may need checking ....fsck [21:48] what happened to the hal-device-manager after gusty? [21:48] but i thought i only had 2 [21:48] Crewsr3: to watch the syslog.... tail -f /var/log/syslog [21:48] what's a command that will display new imap email in mutt? [21:48] pals, i even upgraded my whole system. found a motherboard of asus using ddr3 rams etc. etc... why this intrepid is slow as a sick old lady? === [baddog] is now known as [baddog][UrT] [21:49] laughtear: Priv and try to ;) [21:49] Stormx2: yes I have, but there's not much info on this page. It also hasn't been updated since 7.04... I'm checking if those packages are installed though [21:49] How do i know what permissions are set to /home and /home/me ?, i just wanna know if they got 700 or 755 [21:49] I have a latitude D600 and how do i set the compiz-settings? [21:49] hello world \n [21:49] running 8.10 [21:50] laughtear, did you install from cd or upgrade. intrepid was unusable for me with an upgrade, works great with fresh install [21:50] i just downloaded the 64bit libflashplayer.so, but where do I put it? Do I have to remove any nspluginwrapper files?? [21:50] richard_: 755 [21:50] could the reason be upgrading from hardy? would an clean installation change things a little faster? [21:50] what's a command that will display new imap email in mutt? [21:50] it's an upgrade Hikefu [21:50] richard: ls -l /home [21:50] i'd suggest a fresh install. worked wonders for me. [21:50] rdw200169, how can i know it? i typed some commands with 700 and 755 and now im not sure [21:50] laughtear: i can do many things... many things :P [21:50] mezquitale: Testing a bot? [21:51] good for you SAS..... [21:51] * jimcooncat is a big fan of fresh installs vs. upgrades [21:51] richard_: ls -l /home [21:51] i just downloaded the 64bit libflashplayer.so, but where do I put it? Do I have to remove any nspluginwrapper files?? [21:51] SiliconViper, This is what happened http://paste.ubuntu.com/75411/ [21:51] hey [21:51] Stormx2: I also had java 5 installed. maybe that is the problem (removing it) [21:51] richard_: ls -l /home [21:51] Quite possibly. [21:51] how can I find a LINE in a text file ? like line 47 === _sa is now known as amd [21:52] richard_: rwx rwx rwx => 111 111 111 => 7 7 7 [21:52] rdw200169, SilverBullet total 4 drwx------ 46 richard richard 4096 2008-11-21 22:44 richard ...SO? [21:52] richard_: that's 700 [21:52] does anybody here use avidemux? [21:52] gigel2006, if you know whats on the line you can grep it [21:52] gigel2006: ctrl+g ? [21:52] gigel2006: sed -n '47p' filename [21:52] how do u know its 700? [21:53] is it ok? [21:53] richard_: 7 5 5 => 111 101 101 =>rwx r-x r-x [21:53] richard_: sure, if you want to be the only user capable of having anything to do w/your home folder [21:53] gigel2006, what program? [21:53] <_rs> is there a channel for b43 wireless help? [21:53] when I'm installing the 64bit flash, do I have to remove the nspluginwrapper files?? [21:53] is that for /home and /home/me or just one? [21:53] I have an 8.10 CD ISO which I've burned to a DVD (which works). Is there a way to make a bootable USB disk? I have a USB disk but the computer I want to install Ubuntu on has a broken DVD drive :( I tried booting the DVD (on another computer) and then dd-ing scd0 on to sda but that didn't work (the computer with the broken dvd drive said it wasn't a bootable usb disk) [21:53] Stormx2: however "java --version" returns "Unrecognized option: --version" and "Could not create the Java virtual machine." I don't know what to do [21:53] Hi... does anyone know how to connect to a WPA-Enterprise, PEAP, tkip, mschap-v2 network on Ubuntu 8.10? [21:53] All, Never mind, forgot to run the stop followed by the "apt-get remove --purge mysql*" with wildcard before installing. Now mysql running again. [21:53] Shishire: gedit [21:53] Stormx2: THANKS ! [21:54] javajuice64: java -showversion [21:54] gigel2006: "MC" (but its a pain to use on Debian and Ubuntu systems in editing mode so i had to switch to fedora) ... Now they too have evil-tized it so you could use gedit and enable line count until they realize theyre hampering development [21:54] hello, I have ubuntu 7.10 installed. I've recently installed kubuntu 8.10 on another partition. How do I add kubuntu to /boot/grub/menu.lst ? (When I installed Kubuntu I didn't choose to rewrite the boot so there's no Kubuntu in my grub menu when I turn on the computer.) [21:54] richard_: /home and subfolders [21:54] ok, thank u guys [21:54] folks, s2disk doesn't work. i got no such device error [21:54] :D [21:54] ;) [21:54] alexmart, check /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:55] gigel2006: noone can deflect coders [21:55] You'll need to edit that file. [21:55] alexmart: where did you have the boot loader written? [21:55] hello... quick question... i mount /var/log as a tmpfs but I always get errors that various directories don't exist (which also stops them from logging). is there a way i can make the logger i am using create the filestructure automatically? (sysklogd + klog... standard ubuntu) [21:55] gigel2006, look at the bar on the bottom of the gedit window, it should have a display telling you what line you are currently on [21:55] Shishire: right I got it, silly me for not seeing it [21:55] hi guys [21:55] Stormx2: http://paste.ubuntu.com/75413/ [21:55] i just downloaded the 64bit libflashplayer.so, but where do I put it? Do I have to remove any nspluginwrapper files? [21:55] Crewsr3: you need to fsck that drive [21:56] after i upgraded my packages a popup window came up asking me if i want to upgrade my system to a newer verion, any idea what this application is called ? [21:56] how do I change to another file manager I have installed pc man file manager how do I switch to this one? [21:56] Stormx2 , I know I have to edit that file but I don't know what lines to add for Kubuntu 8.10 , I don't know the kernel version and the rest [21:56] Hi... does anyone know how to connect to a WPA-Enterprise, PEAP, tkip, mschap-v2 network on Ubuntu 8.10? It worked on 8.04, but 8.10 wont connect :( [21:56] Shishire: thanks ! [21:56] SASGrdBrg: lol, ok man thanks [21:57] chazco: lookk in your /var/log/daemon.log and see if it is associating but timing out on the DHCP lease [21:57] Is there a way to make a bootable Ubuntu USB disk? Either from Mac OS X or from a machine booted in to the the Ubuntu ISO CD? [21:57] danbhfive, it's written by the first install of ubuntu 7.10 , I'm guesing the same partition where ubuntu was installed [21:57] Ill yell at some Debian people to have this MC stuff fixed because its beyond stupid to try to discard extreme intelligence [21:57] pals, what if i don't use a swap disk and install ubuntu with 2gb's of ram? would it crash? [21:57] gigel2006: np [21:57] chazco: you will say something along the lines of dhcp took too long [21:57] Hi! Is it possible to install Ubuntu on a PC called "server" and made other PCs boot the same OS than the server? My idea is to share everything on the server with other PCs and to made changes that afect all PCs only one time on the server [21:58] SilverBullet - It joins, and i can use the netwok etc, but after ~15seconds it dies and refuses to reconnect, constantly prompting for username and password [21:58] Elmnas: Just launch it from the applications menu? [21:58] Stormx2: however, the java.com test says "Java Runtime Environment is not working on your system" what should I do? [21:59] Anyone? I have enabled /exit [21:59] Quick question. Say i was running software raid on my ubuntu machine and the mobo died. If i replace that mobo with a different mobo will i lose my array [21:59] repeat; pals, what if i don't use a swap disk and install ubuntu with 2gb's of ram? would it crash? [21:59] chazco: does the daemon.log show any clues? [21:59] javajuice64: I'd imagine you'll need some sort of firefox plugin as well [21:59] All the PCs I want to share use the same hardware [21:59] y [21:59] Sweden and the world wants mooore GNU and more Linux! [21:59] im trying to install 8.10 server edition got a raid 10 hardware(?) controller but i fail at the hd setup - any suggestions to get ubuntu finding my hd's ? [21:59] Stormx2: synaptic search? [21:59] javajuice64, returns nothing useful. [21:59] alexmart: well, ragardless, if the kubuntu 8.10 has its own menu.lst, you can use a configfile directive: title ... \n configfile (hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst where (hd0,0) should be corrected to the correct partition, rather than 0,0 [22:00] javajuice64: So I guess maybe your version of java doesn't have the firefox plugin in-built :/ [22:00] r3z`: your question? [22:00] skyfury: you have provided no fact on this controller [22:00] javajuice64, I'm shooting in the dark really [22:00] ?? [22:00] skyfury: Adaptec ? [22:00] alexmart: if you installed grub to the partition, you may be able to use a chainloader +1 statement, but you might as well just use the configfile statement [22:00] laughtear, not unless you use 2GB of RAM [22:00] Stormx2: do you know if being 64 bit means I have to use a 32 bit browser or 32 bit java or something? [22:00] SASGrdBrg the name of my controller? [22:01] SilverBullet - Booting now, one moment [22:01] thank you Stormx2, again and very much..=) [22:01] good nite everyone [22:01] javajuice64, you can use iced tea java it's 64 bit [22:01] danbhfive, the kubuntu install does not have a menu.lst , I just checked [22:01] does any one here know's where i can find a format program for linux [22:01] javajuice64, I'm on 64bit and the only 32-bit emulation I use is for flash. [22:01] yaniv, try gparted [22:01] b33r: I'm trying to figure out how to enable it -- java things won't work in firefox [22:01] (yaniv, it's in the repos) [22:01] skyfury: Well, yes because otherwise your question is unansweable [22:01] SilverBullet - The problem with this is I cant get on IRC when the wifi has gone, so have to go elsewhere to get online help :D [22:01] gparted is a program? [22:01] Yes. [22:01] SASGrdBrg: Silicon Image Sil3114 [22:01] SiliconViper, http://paste.ubuntu.com/75414/ does this mean the fsck worked? [22:02] what is using my sound on ubuntu ibex I keep getting this error audio_alsa_sink[hw:0,0]: Device or resource busy [22:02] any tutorial to create my own theme and upload it on gnome-look? [22:02] chazco: run tail -f /var/log/daemon.log when you are trying to connect so that you can see what happens when it happens :) [22:02] hello [22:02] <_rs> Hello, I've installed the b43 broadcom drivers for my wireless nic that the restricted drivers manager suggested but I cannot get any connectivity. Does anyone know how to get the wireless card working? [22:02] diffred, do some googling. [22:02] Stormx2: thanks... [22:02] javajuice64, just install iced tea java :/ [22:02] hagna, it means another application has locked your sound card. [22:02] _rs: do you have gnome? [22:02] <_rs> xfce [22:02] Stormx2: how do I find out which one? [22:02] do you see the bars on the top? [22:02] skyfury: Alright, now google on that plus linux and see if there are any hints plus also await an answer here [22:03] <_rs> Spreadsheet, no [22:03] hagna: maybe lsof -v /dev/dsp ? [22:03] i need a formater that can format the drive that way that only local user can access it [22:03] sorry, not -v === tactics is now known as strategy [22:03] _rs: kde? xfce? something else? [22:03] alexmart: you sure? then no grub was installed at all... You can probably just use your current menu.lst as an example, and just make it up on your own. But, thats a harder route, as you need to edit it every time you upgrade the kernel... good luck! [22:03] <_rs> Spreadsheet, xfce [22:03] ok [22:03] SASGrdBrg: would be great if you could help, due to 2000 users are awaiting this server to be up again :-x [22:03] how do I set the desktop thing I was into like central or something and Deselected a box show desktop for my compis backgrounds should work what is it for command? sorry [22:03] i used that [22:03] Hello, sometimes my firefox uses 100% of the CPU. The entire machine becomes unusable and I need to power the machine off. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to kill firefox when that happens? [22:03] b33r: I'm trying to find it [22:03] Umm it should be there [22:03] yaniv: Define "local user". You mean a user sitting infront of the computer, correct? [22:03] b33r: that phrase returns many results in synaptic [22:03] Do you see the network manager icon? [22:03] skyfury: what time is it at your place ? [22:03] Stormx2: lsof | grep /dev/dsp doesn't show anything? [22:03] yes [22:04] s/?/. [22:04] javajuice64, icedtea [22:04] I am having an issue with my cam not working in chat rooms,or well anywhere else. it freezes up after a few seconds and then freezes my entire browser [22:04] the icon is a computer [22:04] <_rs> Spreadsheet, installed b43-fwcutter and rebooted previously, then go to network manager does not show me any detected APs [22:04] b33r: thanks [22:04] Hmm [22:04] wait b43-fwcutter?

Pulseaudio tends to dick up everything as well.

[22:06] pretender_, try VLC maybe? [22:06] SilverBullet - Cant see anything that looks like a problem [22:06] b33r: hooray now I have it (I think) [22:06] yaniv, the default ubuntu install will not expose your filesystems to any network access. [22:06] ok click the icon [22:06] what comes up?

[22:08] hmm [22:08] elmnas: check /etc/network [22:08] try doing the restricted drivers thing again/.... [22:09] folders? [22:09] skyfury: Dont worry... Now... gogogo!!! Fix the problem! >)( [22:09] Stormx2: Chicken and egg. I don't have control of the machine to kill it. [22:09] it's not a prolblem with ubuntu I use linux Ehad, and also when i used WinXP the computer was a litlle hacked [22:09] skyfury: Hehe, a [22:09] can someone explain to me what :(){ :|:& };: means? I know what it does, but I don't understand how this command does it. [22:09] then no access points? [22:09] sure you do, you just gotta ctrl+alt+f1 and be patient [22:09] and then jotil? [22:09] binspace, if it's a command line, try Ctrl+C it I guess. [22:09] hi, i'm confuse about the network manager applet 0.70 in 8.10, i use a GT Fusion PCMCIA t mobile device n the nozomi driver is great, i have input al the configuration correctly, but why sometimes it connect, sometimes it doesn't, n sometimes it display a password requirement, i input my network passwork, it failed n disconnected, why is that? [22:09]   [22:09] <_rs> spreadsheet, ok, i will uninstall reboot reinstall and be back [22:09] SASGrdBrg: thanks anyway, i will inform you if i get this up [22:09] _rs: 'k [22:09] its a file called interfaces there and some maps [22:09] tell me how it goes [22:10] arktvrvs's advice is also good [22:10] arktvrvs: thanks. I tried that, but wasn't patient enough :) [22:10] Stormx2: Its firefox :( [22:10] it is frustrating at times but does work, eventually :P [22:10] skyfury: Thanks and good luck my friend [22:10] Oh man, really? [22:10] Elmnas: all your network configuration files are there [22:10] ok ok [22:10] That's mad, that shouldn't bring down your whole system... [22:10] Elmnas: /etc/network and /etc/networking-scripts [22:11] binspace, another thought: Ctrl + Alt + Backspace would restart X, taking all your work with it. That's just incast Ctrl+Alt+F1 + killall firefox doesn't work. [22:11] Hmm, im also curious if that ICenick got the bonding networks together... [22:11] s/incast/incase [22:11] it's not a prolblem with ubuntu I use linux Ehad, and also when i used WinXP the computer was a litlle hacked [22:11] Stormx2: That makes sense [22:11] jotil I havent that folder [22:11] networking-scripts [22:11] I have networkmanager too [22:12] yaniv: Where do you live? [22:12] Elmnas: ok then i think in Ubuntu /etc/network is the place to check [22:12] in israel! , why? [22:12] ok [22:12] yaniv> Horrible wherent they, those windowses /smile [22:12] yaniv: Because I can't make head nor tail of what you're asking. [22:13] jotil im in the interfaces file now and I apear the devices is it just to put in in iface ra0 inet dhcp [22:13] Fedora 10 is crappy... hit the wrong button /geez and the whole keyboard REmaps! [22:13] Is there a process watcher that kills a process that takes too much cpu for too long? [22:13] yaniv, again, ubuntu doesn't expose your computer to ANY kind of network access. Even if it did, there's no way for format your partitions such that they can't be accessed over the network, short of just deleting everything. [22:13] in the file under the other settings? [22:13] SASGrdBrg, pebkac =p [22:14] is anyone else on intrepid having random pulseaudio crashes? [22:14] Ryoushi, yep. [22:14] Does anyone know how I can find out which daemons are available, (hardy). Im looking for active daemons but preferably a full list, running or not. [22:14] frostburn: must be... vista is crashing alot too :_) [22:14] Shit crap [22:14] Ryoushi, pulseaudio is no where near ready for use. [22:14] stormx2, any workarounds besides killing pulseaudio and restarting it found? [22:14] Crewsr3: your log shows that drive has a bad sector... you might try using a program called spinrite [22:15] Ryoushi, None, as far as I know.

[22:56] tanath: what version of firefox are you using? [22:56] do a ls -la on /var/www [22:57] Killeroid, 3.0.4pre [22:57] anyone know how to add printer in Intrepid? [22:57] Hello I'm thinking about trying out the "Make USB startup Disk" feature in ubuntu, does it work pretty good? will it remember my settings and other things I change and files? [22:57] DavidCanarias-> then sudo mount -o disk-image /mnt and start copying files to /mnt this is one file [22:57] Killeroid, same prob in 3.1b2pre for windows in wine [22:57] under miscellaneous graphical universe they have an xsnow package [22:57] luigi: or whatever dir you got the webbserver pointed at [22:58] why do I get this: sudo: /etc/init.d/cupsys: command not found [22:58] @thunderstorm sorry 'bout delay, I've never used rsync before [22:58] DeVnOrE, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75430/ this is the result [22:58] no problem - i have find this in the manpage: "The --delete option may be combined with one of the --delete-WHEN options without conflict, as well as --delete-excluded." [22:59] Hello I'm thinking about trying out the "Make USB startup Disk" feature in ubuntu, does it work pretty good? will it remember my settings and other things I change and files? [22:59] DavidCanarias-> if it will not allow you to copy, sudo chown -R youruser.youruser /mnt and that should allow copying of files to /mnt [22:59] tanath: i'm on 3.0.4 . I am assuming 3.0.4pre is before the 3.0.4 regular release so try upgrading [22:59] hi [22:59] "However, if none of the --delete-WHEN options are specified, rsync will choose the --delete-during algorithm when talking to an rsync 3.0.0 or newer, and the --delete-before algorithm when talking to an older rsync." [22:59] is it that? [22:59] not sure [22:59] luigi: is it the public thats gets the error? [23:00] !grub > raven [23:00] Killeroid, i use swiftfox. that'st he most recent, and i believe it's identical [23:00] raven, please see my private message === kiosk is now known as PRABU [23:00] DeVnOrE, maybe.. i don't undenstand.. [23:00] Killeroid, it's just that it was compiled before it was official [23:00] that sounds like it would control what files get deleted, not the output though [23:00] ah - i understand: the new rsync use as standard the "delete-during" option [23:01] When I step on the peddle my machine makes a funny rattling sound, and i get these strange patterns of thread in the hems of my pants. Does anyone know why??? [23:01] n8tuser: sorry what is /mnt file? === PRABU is now known as kiosk [23:01] before intrepid it was the "delete-before" option [23:01] DavidCanarias, it's a directory [23:01] or should be [23:01] DavidCanarias-> its a mount point to mount disk-image [23:01] Hello I'm thinking about trying out the "Make USB startup Disk" feature in ubuntu, does it work pretty good? will it remember my settings and other things I change and files? [23:01] n8tuser: Where would I find this later then? [23:01] ah, perfect. Those man pages are wonderful things arent they [23:01] luigi: sorry i can't check against my server cus it's down atm. [23:01] DeVnOrE, maybe.. i don't understand where is the problem... in the dir Public or in /var/www [23:01] :D [23:02] Anyone have a clue as to why my Laptop goes into Standby Correctly... but does not want to wake up after ? [23:02] luigi: you'll have to check the errorlog [23:02] DavidCanarias-> its a file, so you would find it in the current directory once we unmount it [23:02] SuperDefenderX: What? :/ [23:02] n8tuser: Ok so after having put all the info in /mnt. What do I do after? [23:02] Killeroid, here's how it renders for me: http://img374.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1ij7.png [23:02] When I step on the peddle my machine makes a funny rattling sound, and i get these strange patterns of thread in the hems of my pants. Does anyone know why??? [23:02] DeVnOrE, where i could find the log?? [23:03] DavidCanarias-> what have you done so far? [23:03] does anyone know why my Firefox turns dark for long periods of time and even crashes, all the time [23:03] no [23:03] n8tuser: So far nothing. I wanted to keep all the info and do it later with tranquility. [23:03] luigi: /var/log [23:03] DavidCanarias-> well i guess you are not going to follow me, its useless for me to continue [23:04] DeVnOrE, found!! this is the log! http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75431/ [23:04] i'm starting my vmware webbserver now so i can check [23:04] n8tuser: Apologies. I will do as you say then right now...... OK [23:04] DeVnOrE, i found also error.log.1 [23:04] Killeroid, er, better link: http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/9093/screenshot1ij7.png [23:05] DavidCanarias-> okay do this to create a file, dd if=/dev/zero of=disk-image count=100 bs=1M this means a 100Meg file [23:05] DeVnOrE, this is the error.log.1: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75433/ [23:05] Hi all [23:06] for some reason - the vol up/down/mute buttons on my keyboard control the headphone mixer slider instead of the master mixer slider -- how can I change it? [23:06] tanath: well, i dont know what to say except deviantart works perfectly on regular firefox 3.0.4 , i am pretty sure the swiftfox devs changed a few settings before rebranding the browser as swiftfox and so those changes might be causing those issues, i recommend you just installing firefox 3.0.4 from the repos and manually changing those settings in about:config that the swiftfox devs changed to make their browser "faster" [23:06] luigi: do you have the options FollowSymLinks in your apache config under the default site? [23:06] DeVnOrE, i think yes!! re-ceck [23:06] Voer tekst hier in... [23:07] DavidCanarias-> okay? verify with ls -la disk-image and see if 100meg file is created [23:07] Hello I'm thinking about trying out the "Make USB startup Disk" feature in ubuntu, does it work pretty good? will it remember my settings and other things I change and files? [23:07] n8tuser: So far I have typed in dd if=/dev/zero of=disk-image count=20 bs=100M and nothing is happening [23:07] Killeroid, but i have the same problem on EVERY browser i use, except epiphany-webkit, which crashes when i click on deviations [23:07] DeVnOrE, where is the .conf??? [23:07] Killeroid, even firefox for windows, via wine [23:07] DavidCanarias-> oops, put sudo in the front of that.. have to have root priviledge [23:08] luigi: and what permissions do you have on the dir /home/luigi/wwwebserver [23:08] and i [23:08] and its files [23:08] how can we get a Ban list for a specific chan on xchat ? [23:08] I am attempting to install cups-pdf from Synaptic ... but its taking forever ... and I am wondering if it is supposed to take this long ... seems to be at the point of "Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd" and the hard drive is working non-stop ... what happening? [23:09] zetheroo: is updatedb or tracker running in parallel? [23:09] luigi: /etc/apache/sites-available [23:09] n8tuser: Typed in sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=disk-image count=20 bs=100M it asked for my password and then ... nothings happening [23:09] can someone tell me what the default password is for root on ubuntu 8.4? [23:09] zsquareplusc: probably tracker .. since I did not turn it off [23:09] zetheroo: the install itself should not take long [23:09] Killeroid, aha! works in seamonkey [23:09] DavidCanarias-> verify with ls -la disk-image and see if 100meg file is created [23:09] zsquareplusc: there is none [23:10] oh [23:10] zetheroo: try checking with the system monitor or top [23:10] root does not exist in ubuntu [23:10] DeVnOrE: none of what? [23:10] DavidCanarias-> btw you are not paying attention i said count=100 not bs=100M [23:10] zsquareplusc: yeah trackerd is running... [23:10] how can I find my architecture? nano /etc/cpuinfo ?

[23:11] DavidCanarias-> btw you are not paying attention i said count=100 not bs=100M [23:11] n8tuser: How can I delete and do it again then - sorry? [23:11] im trying to install wine and i ran into a problem.. [23:11] Killeroid, well, thanks anyway. i'm good for now [23:11] I can ping my machines internally but can't ping internet...help please [23:11] DavidCanarias-> you can rm -f disk-image [23:12] apostle, router? firewall? [23:12] DeVnOrE, and this is my conf: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75436/ [23:12] apostle-> look at your route table via route -n do you have a good gateway?

"find *.jpg /path/dir" didnt work out [23:12] ttanath: try filing a bug in mozzila's bugzilla or join their irc network(irc.mozilla.org) and ask someone in the firefox channel, maybe someone there can help [23:12] luigi: i think you need to set permissions so that www account can read the dir [23:12] i followed the steps from the winehq website and when i got to the step of going to add/remove programs i got this error [23:12] zsquareplusc: I tried to end trackerd but it says it is uninteruptible ... wtf? [23:12] Ok done this..... Does that delete my error now so I can start again? [23:12] I have a router yes 192.168.2.2 [23:12] zetheroo: if you like your hardisk getting indexed for fast search, leave it on or kill it temporary. i switched it off [23:12] tanath: try filing a bug in mozilla's bugzilla or join their irc network(irc.mozilla.org) and ask someone in the firefox channel, maybe someone there can help [23:12] !who | DavidCanarias [23:12] DavidCanarias: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:12] DeVnOrE, how could i set this permission? [23:12] apostle, and you can ping the router? [23:12] Failed to check for installed and available applications [23:12] zetheroo: maybe its running as different user, e.g. root [23:12] tanath, yes [23:12] zsquareplusc: ok.. it worked when i did it the 3rd time [23:12] apostle, is the dns failing? [23:12] chmod a+r /home/luigi/wwwserver [23:12] This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'. [23:13] n8tuser: ubottu wants us to go private OK? [23:13] zsquareplusc: and now the install just finished [23:13] can anyone tell me how to fix this? [23:13] zsquareplusc: thanks for your help [23:13] or change the group to www and chmod g+r [23:13] DavidCanarias-> nope, stay put here [23:13] I am connected from anothe rmachine [23:13] maybe even recursivly [23:13] Killeroid, well it might be something funky with ubuntu, rather than them. it's not affecting you [23:13] ok [23:13] and dns works but yes it is failing from that machine on the network but can ping local computers [23:13] chmod -R a+r /home/luigi/wwwserver [23:13] how can I find my architecture? nano /etc/cpuinfo ? [23:13] So is the file deleted so the space is free again so I can start again..... ? === kiosk is now known as prabu [23:13] the /etc/resolve.conf are identical on the working system and the new system [23:14] apostle, does pinging external addresses fail from every machine on your network? [23:14] DavidCanarias-> im not going to respond to you if you dont prefix my nick on your responses [23:14] ? [23:14] tanath, no [23:14] tanath, just the new machine [23:14] maxbaldwin: cat /proc/cpuinfo ... but you probably want to just uname -a [23:14] n8tuser: Upps! Apologies..... [23:14] Hi, I'm getting very poor performance running Vino on an AMD 64 3000+ (2.0 Ghz) PC that I'm using as an OpenVPN/Samba File & print server. Even at 800x600 over a 100 mbit wired LAN it's quite slow. This seems to be due to Xorg's high CPU usage. Is there a solution to this issue? [23:14] apostle, firewall? check sudo iptables -L [23:14] n8tuser: So is the file deleted so the space is free again so I can start again..... ? [23:14] DeVnOrE, i've done chmod -R a+r /home/luigi/wwwserver, but this did'nt work yet! [23:14] maxbaldwin: you don't want to be editing anything in /proc unless you know exactly what you're doing.... [23:15] DavidCanarias-> yes [23:15] I run RealVNC on two windows machines and get much better performance even running over the internet on 1 Mbit upload [23:15] I would like to get my logitech quickcam to work i.c.w. amsn in ubuntu intripid, does anyone have got it working? === kiosk is now known as prabu [23:15] I did cat /proc/cpuinfo and got what I wal looking for, thanks. [23:15] what url are you using luigi ? [23:15] n8tuser: Thks. I will now start from the beginning and put in the first command and come back [23:15] i have a dual booting laptop with os x and ubuntu with all my music on my os x partition. is there an easy way to have my os x always mounted and keep my music accessible in ubuntu? whenever i try to access the partition through the ubuntu gui it says permission denied [23:15] sludge: have you tried it yet... it should be supported out of the box... got it working here, sure [23:15] jason_: to get speedy VNC desktops, run a virtual second server with vncserver or such. sharing display 0 is always slower as it need to read the screen back [23:15] I'm going to try running Ubuntu 8.10 on Virtualbox on Mac OS X. Any tips? [23:15] im having problems with dual booting windows and ubuntu. i remember i set it up for a dual boot, but it doesnt give me the option to start xp. any help please? [23:15] tanath, referring to firewall on new system? [23:16] DeVnOrE, i'm using "http:localhost" [23:16] ddelony: not related to this channel, you should have no issues though [23:16] luigi: is there a index.html in /home/lubic/igi/wwwsservevr [23:16] Just wondering if someone knew of a messenger client, like pidgin lite? I tried trillian through wine, but I'd prefer something native to linux...I just don't like pidgin's 33 MB resource stamp. [23:16] apostle, whichever isn't working [23:16] I have tried it many time, but with cheese i do not get a picture. [23:16] fde: Hmm, I thought running Ubuntu under virtualization would be on topic. [23:16] apostle, if you can ping from one, but not the other, we should be able to rule out the router [23:16] tanath, iptables are alls et to accept [23:17] i have a dual booting laptop with os x and ubuntu with all my music on my os x partition. is there an easy way to have my os x always mounted and keep my music accessible in ubuntu? whenever i try to access the partition through the ubuntu gui it says permission denied [23:17] tanath, I can [23:17] constantin:you must make a link in your home directory [23:17] n8tuser: I got the first one wrong so is this the correct command .... dd if=/dev/zero of=disk-image count=100 bs [23:17] vock: umm, trillian has about a 50-70mb footprint on Windows... Live Messenger has about the same... its not that much for an IM client [23:17] DeVnOrE, i didn't see any index.html... [23:17] zsquareplusc, That would be a fine solution. However, why would it affect Xorg's CPU usage to such an extent? Network speed isn't the problem as I'm on a 100 mbit lan. [23:17] ddelony: its not [23:17] apostle, do you have machine-specific rules on your router? perhaps you're only allowing pings & possibly other traffic from the one machine thru whitelisting [23:17] how do i run an *.egg ? [23:17] DavidCanarias-> sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=disk-image count=100 bs=1M this means a 100Meg file [23:17] gwenn: how do i do that? [23:17] DeVnOrE, index.html is on /var/www [23:18] tanath, I have 3 other machines that access the internet with no problem [23:18] tim167: what exactly is a .egg? [23:18] tim167: with eggdrop I presume [23:18] try copying it to the public dir [23:18] apostle, and you didn't configure anything for them on your router? [23:18] n8tuser: One DVD is 1.3GB and the other 1.9GB so would I need to put more than 100bs [23:18] fde: On windows, my trillian was only bout 15 MB or so... [23:18] jason__: that i dont know. it may also depend on the viewer. some are broken and request full screen update instead of differential updates every time [23:18] zsquareplusc, also, when i tried using vncserver it just gave me a box with a terminal window. Is there a howto that can assist me in setting it up to show a desktop. [23:18] tanath, no I did not....just setting up the ip's statically [23:18] gwennn: how do u create a link my home dir to achieve that? [23:18] DeVnOrE, this is my IP: 217.133.74.142 if you want to try to open it.... [23:19] DavidCanarias-> adjust count to correspond to your need [23:19] zsquareplusc, I'm using the VNC 4 Enterprise viewer on Windows. Do you know of any better viewers for windows? [23:19] apostle, and the new box can ping the router? and other networked machines? [23:19] run as root ln your address point_a_directory [23:19] tanath, yes [23:19] n8tuser so would I type in 3.2GB?? [23:19] see man ln [23:19] gwennn: that won't really help his permission problem [23:19] zsquareplusc, basically I just want a desktop. It doesn't have to be on :0. [23:19] apostle, you might try taking the network offline for a minute to see if it can ping when it's the only machine connected (directly) [23:20] vock: no, that was the resident memory footprint... more is in shared memory. Difference being, shared memory can be taken over if someone else needs it. [23:20] i can access the partition [23:20] just not partitions [23:20] yes [23:20] errr [23:20] permissions [23:20] constantin_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:20] chmod u+x [23:20] fde: Thanks, didn't know that [23:20] what is the username and password for 217.133.74.142 [23:20] DeVnOrE, didn't wonk anyway on LAN.. [23:20] can i chmod i the gui or do i need a console command? [23:20] constantin_: you know how to mount and about /etc/fstab? [23:20] jason__: i think you can create a start file within ~/.vnc/ and launch gnome-session in it. dont remenber its name right now [23:20] apostle, but it sounds like something specific to that machine. have you done anything to it yet? [23:20] DavidCanarias-> think a lil bit please, count=100 bs=1M for 100 meg so what you think is 1.2gig ? [23:20] its so strange should be working [23:20] well the drive is already mounted [23:21] or rather i can see it in ubuntu [23:21] luigi: i think i [23:21] n8tuser: Sorry being a newbie is a nuisance isn't it? would this be2300bs? [23:21] vock: Linux enjoys keeping things in shared memory even more than Windows though, because RAM is faster than a hard drive. [23:21] is there software to enable fingerprint scanner? [23:21] tanath, I had to manually set up the ipconfig for its network card [23:21] luigi: i think i'v located the prob [23:21] DavidCanarias-> okay, im giving up, i dont have the patience right now, [23:21] in your conf-file [23:21] constantin:now make the link [23:21] jason__: $HOME/.vnc/xstartup [23:21] DeVnOrE, let's hope!!!! [23:21] apostle, maybe that had something to do with it [23:21] n8tuser: I understand you. Thanks very much for your patience so far...... [23:21] what's the exact command i use in terminal? [23:21] /sbin/ifconfig eth1 192.168.2.9 netmask 255.255.255.0 [23:21] give me a sec [23:22] apostle, should check your config [23:22] tanath, why would I be able to ping internally and not outside and the gateway and the dns are set up properly [23:22] zsquareplusc, ah, thank you - just what i wanted [23:22] DeVnOrE, yes! [23:22] is there software that let me login with fingerprint? [23:22] metbsd: Yes [23:22] apostle, that is weird... [23:22] vock: look at 'free -m' for instance... the cached column is available for other apps, but is currently occupied until then for performance... you buy RAM to use it, not to have it wasted... or at least I do. [23:22] Jordan_U: what is it? [23:22] zsquareplusc, I set this up years back on Debian 3.1 but forgot the file to edit [23:22] i have an AR242x and have tried ndiswrapper, ath_pci, and ath5k, and with each of them, when i try iwlist $interface scan, i just get "$interface: no scan results" (wireless worked in windows) [23:22] apostle-> how did you confirm you have good route and gateway? can you post your route -n results ? [23:23] n8tuser: Sorry I wasn't replying to you 1.2gig bit I was replying to my total capacity of the two DVD i.e. 2.3GB = 2300bs [23:23] luigi: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75445/ [23:23] metbsd: there is software that lets you log in with your bluetooth device :-) [23:23] unlink-> is interface defined if not, $interface will also be blank [23:23] lyou need the exact address pointing your music file [23:23] gwennn: what's the exact terminal command to make the link? [23:23] what's software to let me use my fingerprint [23:23] ? [23:23] n8tuser: i'm just using $interface as a variable to mean "ath0" or "wlan0" depending on the driver [23:23] n8tuser: the 1.2gig would be 1200bs right? Or have you now given up on me forever? [23:23] DeVnOrE, could i delete my conf and paste your pastebin? [23:23] apostle, are you sure the address you're trying to ping is up? try pinging google.com ? [23:24] some apps are using A LOT of ram what seems to be the problem?? audacious 250MB, firefox 179MB, pidgin 164MB, nautilus 133MB [23:24] i don't remember if you should finish the DocumentRoot with a / or not i think it's not [23:24] DavidCanarias-> i've given up on you [23:24] n8tuser: OK, bye [23:24] luigi: it's only the apostle, and you can get online with the new box, right? [23:24] b33r: that is abnormal [23:24] metbsd: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+fingerprint&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a knock yourself out, don't be lazy next time [23:24] tanath, I cannot [23:24] jotil, I know =0 [23:24] ln your address nameofthelink [23:24] i upgraded to ubuntu intrepid, and now my laptop WiFi LED is always blinking. it never used to blink before. it's kind of annoying [23:25] apostle, oh, you can't get online? i thought you just couldn't ping [23:25] is there a way to just make it on, or off instead of constant blinking? [23:25] b33r: top and see what is going on [23:25] the only thing i haven't tried is manually compiling a driver -- but that is not an option because i will not be present for future upgrades [23:25] and will that solve my permission thing gwennn? [23:25] luigi: then restart the server sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart [23:25] metbsd: I have never used it but "thinkfinger" [23:26] unlink: keep things to one line, makes it easier to follow you... what exactly is your issue? [23:26] apostle, n8tuser asked: " apostle-> how did you confirm you have good route and gateway? can you post your route -n results ?" [23:26] DeVnOrE, just copy the line 11 or all the file? [23:26] i want to partition my Ubuntu systems harddrive into 2 file systems.. one with etx3 (ubuntu OS), and one with NSTF as a shared drive.. will Ubuntu be able to share the NSTF drive?

[23:26] luigi: only line 11 [23:26] enter in your music file as root and then chmod u+x nomefile [23:26] DeVnOrE, done.. [23:26] n8tuser: yes, i have seen that, but compiling a driver is not an option for me [23:26] how do i set up my graphics card? [23:26] restarting! [23:27] b33r [23:27] thanks [23:27] i want to partition my Ubuntu systems harddrive into 2 file systems.. one with etx3 (ubuntu OS), and one with NSTF as a shared drive.. will Ubuntu be able to share the NSTF partition? [23:27] b33r: restart your X [23:27] apostle, 'route -n' [23:27] jotil, why? :/ [23:27] constantin_: check out umask [23:27] umask? [23:28] luigi: luigi do "touch /home/luigi/wwwserver/index.html [23:28] constantin take a look at man chmod [23:28] apostle-> how did you confirm you have good route and gateway? can you post your route -n results ? [23:28] unlink: no offense, but you should have thought about that when purchasing the hardware... you can just lock the kernel at the current version though if everything works fine :/ [23:28] apostle, what's the gateway for 0.0.0.0? [23:28] tanath, its not brining up anything now [23:28] apostle, that's not right. ;) [23:28] constantin_: umask does wonder for wrong permissions on mounted drives [23:28] fde: i didn't purchase the hardware, i'm helping someone else installl linux [23:28] !holding > unlink [23:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about holding [23:28] apostle, try a reboot? [23:28] i want to partition my Ubuntu systems harddrive into 2 file systems.. one with ext3 (ubuntu OS), and one with NSTF as a shared drive.. will Ubuntu be able to share the NSTF partition? [23:28] tanath, what is the exact command I should run to get it going... [23:28] b33r: seems like Xorg is causing trouble? not a big deal takes a second. save all your work. hit ctrl+alt+backspace [23:28] is it an app or a terminal command? [23:28] constantin_: also check out the uid and gid mount options [23:28] but you can also make it graphically [23:28] !pinning > unlink [23:28] unlink, please see my private message [23:29] constantin_: I'm a bit tired and going to bed now, otherwise I could explain more in-depth :) [23:29] terminal [23:29] yeah, i know about apt pinning, but that means no security fixes in the kernel [23:29] hi all, i have a dualboot windows ntfs + ubuntu 8.04... my windows was corrupted so i reinstalled it... although it removed grub it doesn't seem to have reinstalled the MBR properly because i just get a hanging black screen on startup.... anyway how can i re-install grub from a liveCD ? [23:29] apostle, have you tried playing with the network manager? [23:29] unlink: see the bottom of that wiki page... they insisted on keeping the holding info on that page I guess... [23:29] okay [23:29] is it at all possible actually ? [23:29] unlink: I wrote the top part [23:29] i'll just use man uid and man gid [23:29] jotil, isn't it better to "fix" the problem instead of restarting X every now and then :/ [23:29] constantin_: man mount, you'll find it in there [23:29] tanath, I don't have x installed [23:29] okay thanks [23:29] apostle, you running ubuntu? [23:29] iAreBaboon: Hmmm, does the installer find your partitions? [23:30] hey guys [23:30] b33r: what exactly do you think is causing the memory hog? [23:30] i was trying to install 8.04 on a machine [23:30] iAreBaboon: i think this should work. terminal-> sudo chroot /media/; update-grub [23:30] apostle, i think you run ifdown, and ifup [23:30] iAreBaboon: Does Ubuntu see your Windows partition? [23:30] but after choosing the language, the enter key doesn't work [23:30] unlink: that way, if you hold it, the kernel won't be upgraded ever again until the option is turned off manually... so you don't have to worry, but you might have to guide them through any security updated that might be an issue [23:30] so I can't proceed with the installation [23:30] jotil, I don't know -.- [23:30] any ideas? [23:30] DeVnOrE, maybe the restarting didn't work: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75451/ [23:31] tanath, route -N Dest... 192.168.2.0 Gateway 0.0.0.0 genmask.....255.255.255.0 [23:31] fde: yeah, i know about apt pinning, but that means no security fixes in the kernel [23:31] b33r: i say restart X. start those 4 applications one by one and see what happens [23:31] tanath, should my gateway column say 192.168.2.2 [23:31] finferflu: and the keypad enter? [23:31] zsquareplusc: same thing [23:31] unlink: the top part is pinning, the bottom part is holding... hate that they confuse those two... [23:31] luigi: yes it worked that's only a warning [23:31] b33r: sounds like an idea or you have something else on your mind? [23:31] tanath, how do I get my gateway configure from ifconfig? [23:32] jotil, after I restart X it will work just fine but it just starts using more after few hours [23:32] DeVnOrE, touch did'nt work... [23:32] b33r: so you have been down the road already.... [23:32] finferflu: you have selected your keyboard or do you want an other? [23:33] wow, just being on the google main page.... firefox was just taking up 97% of my system resources [23:33] apostle, i don't think ifconfig tells you your gateway [23:33] jotil, yeah but I don't want to restart every few hours :/ [23:33] unlink: your options are: 1) replace the wireless nic with something better supported; 2) hold the kernel and lack security updates; 3) teach the user how to compile the drivers themselves when required; 4) Use an OS with better support for Atheros stuff... that's it. [23:33] DeVnOrE, impossible to touch /home/luigi/wwwebserver/index.html: any file o dir. [23:33] b33r: it is really difficult to say about what is causing the memory hog without monitoring [23:33] apostle, but try 'sudo ifconfig down && sudo ifconfig up' [23:33] anyone know if firefox has glitches or like.... bandwidth suxoring problems [23:33] unlink: Linux is accepting a lot of Atheros drivers right now... but apparently yours isn't there yet [23:33] zsquareplusc: no, it's the keyboard I want to use, I mean it's just the first screen before starting the liveCD [23:33] luigi: wwwserver is misspelled [23:33] tanath, I got it [23:33] fde: do you know any distributions which have this packaged? [23:33] ddelony, zsquareplusc: to give more detail... basically i have 2 linux OS' + 1 windows. but the windows got corrupted somehow such that grub was able to boot both linuxes but not the windows partition.... i reinstalled via the reinstallation dvd but after the installer restarted i just end up with a bllinking dash forever in place of the old grub.... so i'm not sure why i'm not seeing the... [23:34] ...windows MBR menu like i should.... but anyway i was thinking to reinstall grub and see if i can boot windows that way. so i must do this from a liveCD... i'm currently loaded in ubuntu 8.04 liveCD [23:34] sid? [23:34] route add default gw 192.168.2.2 eth1 [23:34] How do you 'select all' with nano, is that even possible? [23:34] jotil, so there's no solution for this? [23:34] unlink: if ubuntu doesn't, no one does. [23:34] tanath, thanks :) [23:34] apostle, then check route -n again [23:34] apostle, works now? [23:34] tanath, yes thanks man :) [23:34] unlink: you searching for Atheros WLAN drivers? =) [23:34] apostle, cool. :) [23:34] unlink: Ubuntu is about as lenient as it gets with non-gpl drivers [23:34] Fougner: bingo [23:34] tanath, thank man really appreciate it [23:34] unlink: which card? [23:34] Fougner: yes he is... packaged in a repo [23:34] fde: true but some (like sid) are more up-tod-ate [23:34] apostle, yw [23:34] b33r: you will have to monitor and google,,, [23:34] finferflu: ha, there. hm. maybe it hangs. i've seen PC's with problems using these menus. things you could do is: 1) check the CD 2) try again 3) install with default, change language later === no_one105 is now known as no_one [23:35] Fougner: ar242x [23:35] DeVnOrE, ok... done! [23:35] fde: oh [23:35] unlink: not really, afaik, sid froze some months ago for the release on lenny sometime in the next decade === DiEGO is now known as devils10 [23:35] zsquareplusc: well, the odd thing is that the arrow keys work. I have tried with different languages, and it still fails [23:35] s/on/of/ [23:36] DeVnOrE, shit! FORBIDDEN again! [23:36] zsquareplusc: also, the fact that Enter works for selecting the language and stops working right after that is very odd [23:36] unlink: I've had problems with my AR5007EG for like a year, and the I tried patching the kernel with the wireless 2.6 something [23:36] !language | luigi [23:36] luigi: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:36] finferflu: and ? it should start the line editor. maybe is enter working there [23:36] fde sorry!!! [23:37] DeVnOrE, FORBIDDEN again! [23:37] zsquareplusc: what to after pressing TAB? [23:37] b33r: because i have never had any memory hogging issues on Linux, i am afraid i will not be of much help [23:37] fde: i'm just very surprised that ndiswrapper didn't work... /var/log/messages even listed the encryption capabilities of wlan09 [23:37] so my question was basically.... can i reinstall grub to a certain partition while running from liveCD ? or must i reinstall linux completely so it will install grub and hopefully detect my windows and llinux partitions [23:37] finferflu: enter :-) [23:37] I've got an nvidia geforce 9800 XT, massively powerful card. In counterstrike:source under wine, it gets only around 30fps on modest video settings, the same as my previous card. this card should dominate. What am I doing wrong? [23:37] zsquareplusc: so what does TAB do? [23:37] unlink: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download [23:37] jotil, ok thanks anyway [23:37] zsquareplusc: I think I didn't get it [23:37] unlink: there are a lot of kernel developers fighting to get ndiswrapper to never be able to work... [23:37] b33r: but your Xorg seems a bit too busy for my taste. you might want to look into that. [23:38] Having a small problem with synaptic, a package tried to install, but failed, and now I cant seem to fix this problem, any ideas? [23:38] unlink: look there, I don't know what you want really, but that's the way I got it working [23:38] iAreBaboon: the commands i gave would install the grub as it was configured for your installed ubuntu. it would restore the menu you had [23:38] hi everyone [23:38] ndiswrapper looks like the best option for me right now [23:38] try changong DocumentRoot and to /home/luigi/wwwserver [23:39] that is, it is closer to working than anything else i've tried [23:39] DeVnOrE, ok. but how? [23:39] unlink: if your card is listed on Fougner's link, use that... ndiswrapper is a horrible solution, and is considered illegal and unwelcomed. [23:39] finferflu: well, maybe TAB isnt working with that menu type. the isolinux/syslinux stuff has grown many options and menu stlyes.. if enter isnt working i'd try booting with the default and set the language later. the installer will ask you anyways [23:39] how do i disable the gnome keyring? [23:39] luigi: i'll post a conf for you in about 3min [23:39] hi, ive lost sound all of the sudden (altogether), any hints? [23:39] i've dealt with compiling wireless drivers for awhile... it's ugly and not fun (ipw3945 from nov 2006-mid 2007) [23:39] how would one change the background color of the ubuntu menus ? [23:40] unlink: it links Windows binary drivers into the linux kernel, against code that is GPL only... so it causes quite the stir [23:40] jotil, want me to paste my xorg configuration? [23:40] fde: i know what it does [23:40] kkathman system-preferences-appearance [23:40] DeVnOrE, thanks a lot! i'm waiting for your post! [23:40] zsquareplusc: yeah, I tried with default, but no joy, however I still have to see what TAB achieves :P [23:40] i had to not only recompile my whole kernel to get it to work, but also remove the whole wireless subsystem and replace it with a patched version [23:40] GodfatherofEire, hmm I dont think that changes the actual ubuntu menu tho...it does change windows and apps tho [23:41] Like the background for the panels? [23:41] kkathman: right click desktop > change desktop background ... go to themes tab, customize theme, then play with the colors some [23:41] finferflu: it should show the kernel/parameter line and allow to edit that line. but maybe that fetaure is not possible with the menu on the cd [23:41] GodfatherofEire, the background color of Applications, Places, System [23:41] alt-0 [23:42] kkathman: the colors of the theme apply to that, yes.... [23:42] its that grungy grey [23:42] zsquareplusc: alright, thanks for that, I will try, else I will burn a new cd and see how it goes. Have a nice day :) [23:42] kkathman: that means your current theme can't be customized [23:42] can anyone lend me a hand with sound (or lackthereof) [23:43] gusto5: depends... lspci | grep -i audio [23:43] kkathman: if you mean the panels, then all you have to do is adjust the panel colors, which will adjust the main menu === otofrank is now known as otofranck === otofranck is now known as otofrank [23:43] fde, 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [23:43] unlink: all I can say is that I have the AR242x too, and I got it to work quite easy [23:44] Hello all... Is it possible to run Ubuntu from a live CD without a working windows installation? I get non-existing or corrupt file hal.dll (hardware abstraction layer) error message upon bootup of the computer. I wanna get it started so that I can repair any broken files... [23:44] GodfatherofEire, well there are options to customize Windows, Input boxes Selections and Tooltips - which one changes the menu?? lol [23:44] or maybe its border? [23:44] Luyang: yes it is the standard desktop cd is also a live cd [23:44] Luyang, yes [23:44] hi all. I have just installed intrepid. I have the same problem as in Gutsy. Font especially in Firefox 3 is terrible. I have read some guides, also done a reconfigure on fontconfig and tried different settings but I cant find a nice solution. Anyone has some good tips on this ? [23:44] gusto5: lsmod | grep snd-hda-intel return anything? [23:45] kkathman, if you mean modifying a specific theme to something else, then you'd have to get the source code, and go from there [23:45] fde, nope [23:45] hmm [23:45] ok [23:45] Fougner: what did you do? [23:45] fde, if i may add, sound worked until today's bootup, regular and restricted modules [23:45] luigi: my server is fubar... just a couple of mins more [23:45] gusto5: sorry, replace the -'s for _'s ... [23:45] has anyone here had success with getting sound to work through HDMI? [23:46] a [23:46] DeVnOrE, ok, don't you worry! [23:46] is there a way to have a trash icon on my desktop? [23:46] fde, http://www.pastebin.ca/1263907 [23:47] unlink: I downloaded the patch from the link I posted here, and just exec it [23:47] and I'm quite a noob at this =) [23:47] some apps are using A LOT of ram what seems to be the problem?? audacious 250MB, firefox 179MB, pidgin 164MB, nautilus 133MB http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75446/ [23:47] wedgeoflemon: applications > accessories > terminal ... type 'gconf-editor' ... browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop ... check the corresponding box [23:47] GodfatherofEire, I kinda looked on gnome-look.org, but there's GTK, Metacity and GDM themes and I'm not to sure which ones I need to look at [23:48] gusto5: that was a yes/no question ;) [23:48] kkathman: GDM is the login-screen [23:48] fde, yes i get a response =P sorry lol [23:48] gusto5: lsof /dev/snd/* [23:48] Fougner, ahh ok thanks [23:48] kkathman: and GTK is for gnome environment [23:48] kkathman, The GTK themes are window decorator themes, the GDM themes are the login, and Metacity is the desktop [23:48] yes response? need to see it fde? [23:48] is this packaged in jaunty? [23:48] b33r: these are virtual memory figures. i.e. with all the libraries loaded. but the libraries are also shared between applications. so the real memory used isnt as much as the sum of these numbers [23:48] gusto5: is there anything except the mixer in there? [23:48] nope just the mixer fde === ogre is now known as brucewang [23:49] unlink: now there's a problem.. I don't know what jaunty is [23:49] GodfatherofEire, ok, so if Im running compiz, I should probably look at the GTK2 themes then === brucewang is now known as ogre [23:49] kkathman: that would be the best =D [23:49] Fougner: intrpepid < jaunty [23:49] zsquareplusc, so how can I check my "real" ram usage? [23:50] unlink: intrepid less than jaunty [23:50] b33r: depends on what applications you prefer. in the console a top or ps ax or free is interesting [23:50] unlink: you mean the new ubuntu distro ? [23:50] Fougner: it's the ubuntu 9.04 [23:50] gusto5: then there is no reason it wouldn't work.... it is likely a pulseaudio issue, are you running intrepid? [23:50] oh.. I'm confused, you don't mind explain it, do you? [23:50] fde, i am running intrepid on 2.6.27-7 kernel [23:51] i'm wondering if the kernel packages for jaunty have the new madwifi drivers [23:51] fde, its confusing because it worked since installation till yesterday lol [23:51] unlink, they already have a alpha/beta of Jaunty released? [23:51] gusto5: for fun then, try 'pulseaudio --stop && pulseaudio --start' ... ignore the errors, and try to play a sound... anything? [23:51] no, just some packages uploaded [23:51] unlink: I have no idea.. [23:52] unlink: Jaunty help is available in #ubuntu+1 [23:52] zsquareplusc, but top is saying I'm using a lot I already pasted the output of top :/ [23:52] when i have the trash on my desktop the trash always apears to be full even when i empty it [23:52] Unlink, what sort of packages, like, any specifics? [23:52] my wireless connectivity and printing is horrible with Intrepid [23:52] unlink: currently, I don't think Jaunty is being populated with anything new [23:52] fde, nope [23:52] http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ [23:52] fde, wont recognize --stop or --start [23:52] need help! Realtek 8187B - Wireless, Ubuntu 8.10 cannot find the hardware lsbusb-output:Bus 006 Device 003: ID 0bda:8198 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. [23:52] i had compiz running, then i accidently unchecked "Mirror Screens" in the resolution settings. Now my Radeon9600 is in clone mode and i cant activate the advanced graphics stuff anymore. Can i reset the thing? Where does the ATI driver store its settings? [23:53] I can print test pages from the Printing Properties dialog .... but no programs will print at all! [23:53] gusto5: last guess would be to restart again then, other than that, I have no idea.... [23:53] okay, thanks a lot fde [23:53] I installed KVirc, but where did it go? [23:54] And does anybody have any advice on getting a winprinter to work, like how to somehow adapt it to linux, or would I have to start from scratch to get it working? [23:54] hmw: try "aticonfig --initiate" or something in terminal [23:54] gusto5: sound is overly finicky on linux, and everything they do to better the situation just makes it more complicated when things go wrong to troubleshoot :( [23:54] luigi: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75460/ [23:54] Serval: try "which KVirc" (if KVirc is the program binaries' name [23:54] GodfatherofEire2: cups is used most likely unless you have very odd printer [23:54] hi... i'm trying to set up azureus - the ports have been properly forwarded at the router (at least, the same settings would have worked in windows ?_?), but I am getting 'unable to test port' - am using Firestarter, outbound is permissive by default [23:54] where do I try "which KVirc"? [23:54] DeVnOrE, ok, i'll see the pastebin! [23:55] Serval: another thing to try: dpkg -L kvirc | grep bin (or without the grep part to see everything it installed) [23:55] Serval: in the terminal =) === darkbishop_ is now known as darkdeeper [23:55] luigi: check that the paths are right [23:55] kitche, here's the problem, as far as I know, its as good as a paperweight under linux. At least according to openprinting [23:55] hmw: I mean, "aticonfig --initial" [23:56] luigi: and do "chown -R luigi:www /home/luigi/wwwserver" [23:56] DeVnOrE, can i just copy and paste your conf? [23:56] yes [23:56] Fougner: aah! i now remember that i could "repair" stuff with aticonfig in my previous ubuntu, just forgot, that it existed. i will have to download it, but now i think, i am fine. thx [23:56] ._. [23:56] i need to install nvidia driver 177, where do i fetch it and place it for installation [23:56] DeVnOrE, or i had to check each line?

RTL8187B works in Vista, but not in Ubuntu 8.10! lsub output: Bus 006 Device 003: ID 0bda:8198 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. [23:58] Ok, I found KVirc in /usr/local/bin/kvirc, but how do I run it? [23:58] GodfatherofEire, have you heard of theme engines?? If so, how are these installed?? [23:58] Kanzar, did u open ur port in ur computer [23:58] kkathman: you have some of them in Synaptic.. [23:58] yeah [23:58] i have [23:58] oh [23:58] bugs.freedesktop.org has a bad ssl cert according to firefox, reason for concern? [23:58] just used www.utorrent.com/testport.php?port=16292 [23:58] it says open [23:58] Kanzar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:59] so, I'll assume that it all works, and it's just azureus' port check which is just weird [23:59] kkathman: that one, I think you have to compile yourself.. [23:59] evening all, is there anyone here familiar with SSH' from a location outside your home network? [23:59] DeVnOrE, chown: group not valid: 'luigi:www'
