[00:32] and which would display it [00:32] like a web browser [00:32] but for man pages [00:32] is there any mechanism built into ubuntu that would allow to hold ctrl and alt for software purposes... Because in VNC when I use the mouse to click it is doing the Compiz 3D Desktop so that either means ctrl and alt are being pressed somehow either HW or SW wise or my left click is being interpreted as a middle mouse button click [00:32] mhall119, ubuntu hardy [00:32] BoredBoring ,dont think there one [00:32] ok [00:32] mhall119, lsusb shows it [00:32] EvilAIM, you need to adjust the TV's screen position [00:33] ummm [00:33] *looks* [00:33] I'm a little confused on how to make an Ubuntu-eee LiveUSB. do i just take the files extracted from the *.iso and dump in the usb or ... ? === corq-FL is now known as uncorq [00:33] Legendario: have you tried opening F-Spot and using it to download them?

[00:38] Legendario: that doesn't look good [00:38] it IS possible to run gnome on ubuntu server correct? [00:38] Stargazer, you can download or make your own liveUSB from debian-live [00:38] can any one tell how to install Intel 945gm on ubuntu 8.10? [00:38] xmatrix: I am not installing at apt package.

[00:39] mikematic, i use ultravnc as a vnc client/server under windows [00:39] yes [00:39] thanks dr_willis [00:39] you don't need the whole ubuntu-desktop package, just sudo apt-get install gnome [00:39] should do it [00:39] mikematic: tightvnc I think is still free [00:39] nintendork32: not to be a dick, im just curuious, why? [00:39] Stargazer, I see, you want liveUSB for installation [00:39] fenerli7: yes, that was my first thought. But I would have to hit C-c on earch operation to get the size of each of ~100 files. Is there some flags for wget that says "gimme the size ... but don't start any download"? [00:39] i want firefox etc [00:39] yes. [00:39] ir dont. i mean i dont any other resolution except of 3 default [00:40] Legendario: no other issues going on?

[00:49] dli: yes, that's true. i was hoping for something a little more helpful. the graphical version is quite clear. i don't want to mess up the partitions by mistyping or misunderstanding an option. [00:49] M4rotku: probably just wait [00:49] temppy because i think i got it and i just downloaded the alpha release to test it out [00:49] DeadWrong83: try: lsmod |grep nv [00:49] ok, i'll wait an hour or two and check it again [00:49] but i didn't want to, cause i like hardy's stability... well i don't know if this has anything to do with that, but i have a 64bit hardy.

[01:04] you can change the default terminal with, uh, system>preferences>preferred applications [01:05] mroc: free space generally means space that is part of a file system, but doesn't have any files on it. Unallocated means it's not a part of an existing file system [01:05] hello, i want to know how to change the C:\boot.ini file in windows for an easy dual boot [01:05] how would i do that?

[01:05] mhall119, will it do it all for me?

[01:06] mroc, have u apply the 1st resize? [01:06] darkdeeper: sorry, which resize do you mean? [01:07] mroc, u saiz u resize the 1st partition to make it smal so u can resize the 2nd one to make it bigger... do i get it correct? [01:07] mroc: if you can increase the size of the ntfs partition, it should use up as much unallocated space as you tell it, you can't change the size of unallocated space unless you make a new partition out of it [01:07] hi can someone help me please when I trying t run ./configure I get this error in the end configure: error: libdownload or libfetch are needed to compile with internal download support [01:07] ardchoille: local mail delivery requires an SMTP server, always.

[01:08] noticed that ubuntu 8.10 is different from previous versions [01:08] darkdeeper: , mhall119: i have a disk that looks like this | ntfs1 | unallocated space | ntfs2. the unallocated space came from shrinking ntfs2, which I have already done. [01:08] how do I enable ALT+'+' transparency in 8.10? [01:09] krono2k5: have you made them work together in a different environment? [01:09] how sudo apt-get install libdownload? [01:09] how can i change login screen by default from terminal? [01:09] Gnea: in the previous install of 8.10 on this machine, I always got mail for things like rkhunter output, but I've never had to install an SMTP server. [01:09] morc, then use the unllocated space. [01:09] mroc, and now you want to increase the size of ntfs1? [01:09] Nikyo-> dont know if iproute2 tool ip is capable of such..google for options to this tool [01:09] mhall119: the problem is that i can't seem to resize ntfs1...the up arrow is grayed out. [01:09] mhall119: yes. [01:09] ardchoille: and you never had anything listening on port 25 of any ip or interface on the previous install? [01:10] Gnea: no idea, it just always worked, never had to install an SMTP server. [01:10] anyone got a min to help me out won't take long i promise :)) [01:10] mroc: huh, I wonder if ntfs3g can increase partitions [01:10] I know it can shrink them [01:10] jannik_: Just ask the question. [01:10] Elmnas: that is a command, and if entered in a terminal it will install libdownload [01:10] mroc: honestly, I've never tried to go that direction from Linux before [01:10] n8tuser: Thank You for the suggestion.. I'll take a look at the options for that. Have a good upcoming holiday. [01:11] mhall119: supposedly, it can. according to the "show features" option, it can. [01:11] ardchoille: then there's a very good chance that you did have an SMTP server installed, you just didn't know it. That's how UNIX email works, it requires an SMTP server. No if's, and's or but's. You can install exim4 and configure it to handle only local mail without a problem. [01:11] which i don't think is a real lib but that is what the syntax means [01:11] mroc: is it a compressed or encrypted partition? [01:11] I downloaded it from a website libdownload-1.3 [01:11] mhall119: nor have i, this is a first for me. nope, just standard winxp [01:11] Elmnas: what are you trying to build?

Also, I've never had to configure exim4 for this either. Can I just add myself to the mail group and fix the problem? [01:11] pacman [01:11] mroc: have you tried resizing them from Windows? [01:12] Vandalism_dstryr: pidgin is the default IM client [01:12] Vandalism_dstryr: pidgin? [01:12] mhall119: the one i'm trying to make larger is the boot partition...can that be done from inside a mounted partition? [01:12] ardchoille: just install exim4 and follow the configuration questions that it asks, it'll "just work". [01:12] you might also try empathy if you have some issue with pidgin [01:12] jannik_: Hmmm... you could always do a "sudo cp from-file to_file" [01:12] mroc: is that partition mounted? [01:12] is there any howto's on how to configure an ldap server to work with samba in ubuntu 8.10 === palpatine is now known as maha [01:13] when ever i try that is says that it is not a dir [01:13] mhall119: well...it will be if i try it from inside windows [01:13] Gnea: exim4 is alreadyinstalled, again, I have never had to configure exim4 in the previous installs of 8.10 [01:13] mroc: is it currently mounted? [01:13] mhall119: no [01:13] sure? [01:13] ardchoille-> what are you trying to do? [01:13] ardchoille: sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config [01:13] Gnea: Did you read the first post of that url ?

[01:27] Greencoat19821-> then start reading and we do not like to spoon feed people here [01:27] tye in sudo gedit /boot/grub.conf [01:27] I'm not usually spoonfed, I [01:28] ^ [01:28] Greencoat19821-> you have to take the initiative to learn [01:28] eleifend, Greencoat19821 for ubuntu it's /boot/grub/menu.list [01:28] 've just never ever used grub beyond letting it boot my regular image [01:28] use gui for grub [01:28] is it? i thought they symlinked such things [01:28] woops closed the tab [01:28] Greencoat19821: please, read the URL and do some testing on your own with it... you can use the tab-key with the find command [01:28] and if I'm not learning from the faqs should I just give up and shoot myself or come here and ask for help? [01:28] Greencoat19821, it's hard to help people troubleshoot grub problems, sometimes. It takes a bit of knowledge to ask the right questions ;) [01:28] installing grub to a usb drive. is a little different task then making a grub menu item on an installes system that also boots any usb drive tthat happens to be plugged in... [01:29] Grub can take some time to read/learn/play with... [01:29] Greencoat19821: you should probably de-stress yourself before continuing [01:29] Its a rather amazing tool.

[01:30] any ideas how i solve this [01:30] Greencoat19821, like my question -- a simple, simple question doesn't get answered because i really should google it [01:31] parthbakshi-> use sudo? sudo apt-get update ? [01:31] it works [01:31] i mean i am able to use the console === ja is now known as jz [01:32] so synaptic works but for example services have an unlock button when i click it ,it requests an password when i enter mine it does not recognize it [01:32] so i looked into /var/log/auth.log [01:32] any one uses Opera browser here?

My computer keeps randomly turning off : [01:37] does someone know anything about advetisements in /etc/motd ? [01:37] Saint1993-> does it just turn off? or it goes trough the shutdown process? [01:37] it just turns off mate.

[01:39] Saint1993-> perhaps it is still bad, or your power source is really bad, fluctuates too much [01:39] Logikos: probably, I would imagine the virtualbox setup already took care of that [01:39] Logikos, mhall119 is probably right; depends on how you installed vbox [01:40] kick plz [01:40] kick me [01:40] nickrud: mhall119: i used the synaptic package manager to install it [01:40] i want to test if you can kick me [01:40] * nickrud kicks nickk [01:40] n8tuser-> i can log in to the system use all admin services from the console but cannot use it via the gui example services/changing time etc [01:40] hello, i'm trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10.

[01:55] M4rotku: it sounds like you are failing to connect to a repo [01:55] but essentially you'll need a floppy to boot from, which loads your nic drivers, and loads the rest of the system from a remote source [01:55] mhall119: thanks, i'll check it out, my goal is to completly removed my dependance on windows ... and psp is one of my hangups for sure [01:56] Saint1993, yes, there's nmap for probing ports. It's considered extremely bad form, even malicious using it on another site without permission [01:56] mhall119: Problems. it says it's broken under hardy. Doesn't say anything about ibex though. [01:56] temppy, it dissabled some third party repos at the beginning of the install, but it did that purposefully, i'll check my repo list [01:56] Logikos: CS2 is close to running on Wine, I think some of the later PSP versions do too [01:56] cooljeff3000-> cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack and look through the list to see which is doing the transferring [01:56] mhall119: do I need 2 pc's for this?

[01:57] Logikos: did you download from the ubuntu or wine repository? [01:57] mhall119: it's only running ubuntu, and the reason for this is because the cd drive doesn't work. Seems like a linux error. [01:57] mhall119: i asked on here earlier which would give fewer headachs and take up fewer resources, fixing wine, or seting up virtualbox, they recomened virtualbox [01:57] rdvon: wait, it's already runing Ubuntu? [01:58] how come sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't even give me options for the monitor? it's all ablut the keyboard [01:58] mhall119: it's running linux mint.

[02:00] i can log into the system /use syanptic /but whenever i try to use the unlock button it does not recognize my password [02:00] so i looked into /var/log/auth.log [02:00] dreamweaver is a visual html and css editor [02:00] rdvon: I'm not sure that's going to be an option [02:00] when I try to configure kismet I get an error that says the C compiler cannot create executables [02:00] Nov 23 06:58:05 parth-laptop polkit-grant-helper-pam[12392]: pam_smbpass(polkit:auth): unrecognized option [missingok] [02:00] Nov 23 06:58:08 parth-laptop polkit-grant-helper-pam[12402]: pam_unix(polkit:auth): conversation failed [02:00] Nov 23 06:58:09 parth-laptop polkit-grant-helper-pam[12402]: pam_unix(polkit:auth): auth could not identify password for [parth] [02:00] spree: how does it compare to Linux compatible ones like nvu? [02:00] mhall119, it makes websites and has a lot of wizards [02:00] mhall119: it is a wisiwig html editor ... but i dont use it for the visual so much as it tells you what posible arguments can follow the command your entering, i use it for html, css, php etc [02:01] i can log in to the system use all admin services from the console but cannot use it via the gui example services/changing time etc [02:01] What is a good terminal/shell IM client? [02:01] Logikos: have you tried nvu? [02:01] mhall119: no, i havent [02:01] finch, also quite good. [02:01] parthbakshi-> do this, you launch that synaptic and on another terminal, ps aux and see which process is being run to give you that login prompt [02:01] mhall119: someone told me that vim would do it, but... i didnt see how lol [02:01] parthbakshi-> then tell me the name of that process [02:02] temppy, it got past that part now, but i still received the following error which seems significant: "Error authenticating some packages [02:02] It was not possible to authenticate some packages. This may be a transient network problem. You may want to try again later. See below for a list of unauthenticated packages." and it lists a lot of the important software packages, it seems to be most of them in fact [02:02] mhall119, it's way better. i'm not one of those people who is going to pretend GIMP is as good as photoshop or that there is any open source HTML editor out there yet better than Dreamweaver for layout and pretty stuff. [02:02] Logikos, lol, pure tags and text with vim :) [02:02] n8tuser->ok [02:02] hello [02:02] mhall119: i dont need the 'visual' part, i code ... what i like is that as i type .. in css for example, if i type a command and hit space, it automaticly gives me a list of valid options that can go next [02:02] hmm...I updated to 8.10 and now xine can't find my audio drivers [02:02] nickrud: i dont care about the visual, i like the argument dropdown boxes [02:02] mhall119, right, so if you need a pretty website which you more than likely do, use dreamweaver [02:03] could someone help me with my wireless card in ubuntu? [02:03] another gdm restart [02:03] anyone have any ideas [02:03] !ask | tman47 [02:03] tman47: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:03] Logikos, you can get that with eclipse as well. Probably not as pretty as dreamweaver, but I don't care myself. [02:03] when I try to configure kismet I get an error that says the C compiler cannot create executables [02:03] Does anyone know how to prevent a file input/output error from lowering the DMA setting on my PATA (shown as sda) drive from udma5 to udma2? [02:04] wizzer: lshw -c sound [02:04] mhall119, it also has some other neat features like W3C validation and cross-browser compatibility checkers [02:04] looks like its gksu [02:04] checks for broken links, etc [02:04] n8tuser->its gksu [02:04] nickrud: yeah, i work with php alot, so dreamweaver's ability to 'show' the page as you work on it, is really worthless to me, but i dont spell well, and sometimes i forgot arguments, so it shows all that stuff, which i really like [02:04] I'm trying to help a friend get some things working (he just switched to Ubuntu) and I was wondering if it was possible for him to basically make VNC work "backwards" to make things easier. Like rather than having him run tightvncserver and me connect to him, is there any way he can connect his desktop to my PC somehow? [02:04] i installed 8.10 on an intel imac and have no sound [02:04] any help? [02:05] okay well i have a belkin 54g wireless notebook card. on a dell inspiron 5100, i already have ubuntu up and running and have the ndisxxx package installed and it asks me for a .inf file, but i cant find an inf file to use it for. Is there somewhere i could download one? [02:05] check this out............... [02:05] can someone walk me thorough [02:05] Logikos, you might want to look for the eclipse-pdt all in one; it works pretty well with php/html. The editor is from zend [02:05] parthbakshi-> try gksu -d and see if any debug info gets spits out [02:05] I just switched to roadrunner today from at@t and now i cannot log in to my hotmail or myspace from ubuntu but I can from windows, any one have any ideas [02:05] #bzflag [02:05] oops wrong window, sorry [02:05] mhall119: nickrud: so eclipse-pdt, and nvu i should try for php, html, and css? [02:05] http://randomlysanta.110mb.com [02:05] ne1 want to walk me through my sounds problem [02:05] ??? [02:06] Hmm, thank you, commradekingu [02:06] i wish pidgin had a doskey feature (where you can press the up arrow and get the last line you typed) [02:06] Logikos, nvu/kompozer is just a gui layout program, very limited really [02:06] n00b2342341234: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac [02:06] ny1? [02:06] help please? [02:06] i found no help there [02:07] nickrud: ah, so eclipse-pdt then [02:07] tman47-> .inf are windows driver, so google for a windows driver for your wifi [02:07] hey guys i am trying to install 8.10 on my bros pc and i keep having a input/output error during the install... i have burned 3 copies at various write rates and they all end up with the same error. I followed a guide on how to make a usb stick bootable so that i could install it from that but the comp doesn't pick it up. Any advice or alternate ways to get it going? [02:07] i screwed some things up following another tutorial [02:07] Logikos, but I find myself using bluefish mostly these days, I'm not writing any major php stuff and it's much lighter. [02:08] drumstyk1-> did you verify the iso before you burned it? [02:08] nickrud: lol, so many options ... which one of them will tell me the valid arguments for css objects ? [02:08] Logikos: Ctrl+Up [02:08] well i found the setup exe to install the driver in windows would the inf be in that? [02:08] Logikos, eclipse [02:08] mhall119: thanks! [02:08] nickrud: alright, thanks! [02:09] tman47-> dont know, you may have to extract it first...google for how to extract an exe [02:09] n8tuser->no errors [02:09] * nickrud fires up eclipse first time in a while, just to check [02:09] Logikos: really the only php effects i like is the coloring of the code anyways [02:09] n8tuser: i don't know what that means, so i guess not... just rightclicked>write to disc [02:09] nickrud: i mean, lol - really the only php effects i like is the coloring of the code anyways [02:09] no i know how to extract it... and its not there... [02:09] drumstyk1-> you have to check the md5sum [02:09] hi! is there a yahoo chat client that supports voice and video in Ibex ? [02:10] tman47-> then find another that has the config .inf for your wifi [02:10] n8tuser: im sorry, can you translate that for a noob? [02:10] How do I get my MTP media player to show up in Audacious? [02:10] tech0007: isn't the yahoo client Java? [02:10] parthbakshi-> you can use strace to find out which library it fails? [02:11] Logikos, yeah, ctl-space gives you the dropdown box. [02:11] nickrud: useing synaptic packag manager i dont see 'eclipse-pdt' - i do see 'eclipse-pde' but also pde-gcj and nls ? - should i just instal eclipse from the add/remove applications dialog ? [02:11] FOUND IT!!! it was in the programs folder in windows! [02:11] drumstyk1-> google for ubuntu+iso+md5sum should point you to a tutorial [02:11] mhall119: not sure . [02:11] n8tuser: great, thanks so much [02:12] Logikos, no, with eclipse you're better off using the one from the net. More up to date, and it has it's own packaging system. There are a tonne of plugins available that aren't in debian/ubuntu [02:12] hey mhall, I was having problems with opengl games and talked to you a little while ago, anyway I got the driver installed and the best resolution I can use now is 640x something [02:12] Logikos, like svn, cvs, task managers, integration with bugzilla and other tracking systems, more than you can shake a stick at [02:12] DeadWrong83: are you using Intrepid or Hardy? [02:12] nickrud: ok so search eclipse-pdt online, i'll give that a try, thanks! [02:13] intrepid [02:13] n8tuser ->im noticing something else too when i try to use polkit-gnome-authorizations and try to change mechanism(say time) and grant it to certain user say x and then its ask for password [02:13] allo ... could someone point me in the right direction towards how to fix my wifi? it 'broke' after a kernel update, and using older kernels doesn't sort it. the card uses the RT2561 chipset, ubuntu 8.04 [02:13] DeadWrong83: sorry man, my fault, I should have asked you that earlier [02:14] nickrud: mhall119: thanks to both of you for all your help! [02:14] Does anyone know how to get Audacious to recognize an MTP media player? [02:14] supposed to work out of the box, which it did, but now no longer does [02:14] n8tuser->when i enter the password authorization fails [02:14] no worries [02:14] Your still the man [02:14] DeadWrong83: Intrepid comes with Xorg 7.4, which changed some things from the driver perspective,and nvidia hasn't put out new drivers that will work with it [02:14] parthbakshi-> not many people mess around with policykit, and neither do i for that matter [02:14] neither hav i [02:14] n8tuser: would it still be useful to verify the iso even if i downloaded the official release from their website? [02:14] How do I choose between Adobe Flash Player and Swfdev for Adobe/Macromedia Flash? [02:14] Logikos: no problem [02:14] neither have i [02:14] rough, so I'm just stuck for now? [02:15] but out of the blue it has stopped working [02:15] drumstyk1-> yes, it is essential, you never know who put up the iso there [02:15] DeadWrong83: nope, uninstall the proprietary driver and reboot, you games will still be slow, but at least you won't be stuck at 640x480 [02:15] hello [02:15] thanks mhall [02:15] np [02:16] jimmygoon-> you toss a coin, heads.. tails.. ? hehe [02:16] if after rebooting you don't get your old resolution back, run :dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:16] how can i install inter expolrer [02:16] xx [02:16] hr_: Internet Explorer? [02:16] hr_: why? [02:16] hr_: install wine, then use ies4linux [02:16] I second the use of ie24linux [02:16] no, use a VM [02:16] it's not perfect [02:17] perfect enough for occasional testing? [02:17] Using a vm requires a license for windows. Money is money, dude. [02:17] and as the only sane reason for ie on linux is testing stuff.... [02:17] that's true, depends on your budget [02:17] or morals [02:17] You cna also install ies4linux as a limited user account. [02:17] call it "thisAcctWillBePwnd" or something. [02:17] any advances on my wifi question, anyone? [02:17] heh [02:18] mhall119, I was using that today: but whenever I go to a page with embedded flash, ie4linux gets this horrible flicker from then on whenever I mouseover
  • elements with a background image. Do you see the same, by any chance? [02:18] what is the wifi question? [02:18] Guys I get this error when I execute gedit via a terminal to open a file. I get multiple instances of ** (gedit:10672): WARNING **: Cannot extract frame (0, 0) from the grid [02:18] ** (gedit:10672): WARNING **: Cannot extract frame (36, 0) from the grid [02:18] ** (gedit:10672): WARNING **: Cannot extract frame (72, 0) from the grid [02:18] ** (gedit:10672): WARNING **: Cannot extract frame (108, 0) from the grid [02:18] ** (gedit:10672): WARNING **: Cannot extract frame (144, 0) from the grid [02:18] brainiac8008: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:18] ** (gedit:10672): WARNING **: Cannot extract frame (180, 0) from the grid [02:18] hornet: did you work out what module isn't being loaded any more and load it? [02:18] nickrud: no, but I only ever used it to test my sites, which don't use flash [02:18] mhall119, scroll up a little [02:19] jamesish1, not sure [02:19] yeah, I have to have a few flash things embeded by contract. As long as I stay away from the those pages, ie4linux is good enough for checking css [02:19] n8tuser, no really, is there one that is better? [02:19] or do you know? [02:19] I think it is actually loading, just broken [02:19] Hornet: are you having to use ndiswrapper? [02:19] Hornet: if you don't know what one it is, how do you know it's loading? [02:19] jimmygoon-> i dont know really, i was just playing with you there for a sec [02:20] does any one know why I am unable to login to my myspace or hotmail from ubuntu but I can from windows [02:20] jamesish1, it's trying to connect, but doesn't succeed [02:20] shun: nope, I can log into myspace just fine from Ubuntu [02:20] shun: ubuntu doesn't support awful websites. [02:20] lol [02:20] hey, ok, I figured out my issue now with the tv [02:20] don't we wish [02:20] mhall119, no, using the native one [02:20] it has a issue with the DVI [02:20] http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/products/wireless/#pid88170 [02:20] is the card [02:20] Hornet: which one? [02:20] Hornet: Hrm. Have you gone the route of disabling all protection adn seeing if you can connect? [02:21] how can I find out? [02:21] it has overscan on it, so I need a program to shrink the screen size [02:21] landlord gets annoyed when I do that, but I think it did work briefly yes [02:21] I only got my problem after switching to roadrunner [02:21] please does anyone know where to get airodump-ng? [02:22] google? [02:22] What does this mean? [02:22] "** (gedit:10672): WARNING **: Cannot extract frame (0, 0) from the grid" [02:22] I get multiple lines like this in the terminal when I open a file with the gedit command [02:23] brainiac8008: no idea, does gedit run okay? [02:23] mhall119, ya it seems to work fine [02:23] how do i configure on ubuntu desktop to connect to a remoter printer from a ubuntu server [02:23] and well, print :P [02:23] brainiac8008: huh, then just ignore it I guess [02:24] hmmf [02:24] mhall119: well it has to mean somethin... [02:24] sounds like it's a GUI setup warning, maybe leftover debugging crud [02:24] brainiac8008: i think that's just debugging stuff, i woulnt worry === maha is now known as fdemocracy [02:25] is there a way to get it to disable showing up? it's sort of annoying. :P [02:25] brainiac8008: stop running it from the commandline [02:25] lol [02:26] okay i've got another question for you guys: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990564 [02:26] n8tuser: ok, i just verified the md5 hash with the ubuntu site... do you think it could just be a bad download and i should try another mirror? [02:27] okay guys, I'm going to shamelessly plug my own project, but it's charity so that makes it ok: http://quinncoincorporated.org/ [02:27] drumstyk1-> what was the result of your verification? if its bad, yeah re-download and verify again after [02:28] it matched perfectly... [02:28] nice [02:28] drumstyk1-> then when you boot, select again check cdrom [02:28] svid did it [02:28] freakin' sweet [02:28] I love this vid card [02:28] haha [02:28] brainiac8008: no idea on that, my power options are always there [02:28] EvilAIM: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:28] Er, in the hopes of preventing any more data loss... how do I mount this drive as read only [02:28] n8tuser: i did that and it found 1 error [02:29] drumstyk1-> then the burn was not good, redo at lowest speed === aoupi is now known as root [02:29] How would I add a custom VGA driver line to xorg.conf? === root is now known as Guest77474 === Guest77474 is now known as aoupi [02:30] n8tuser: i did that as well. i have 3 or 4 burns floating around all giving me the same problem === Katie-Offline is now known as KatieKitty [02:30] drumstyk1: have you tried them on a different computer? [02:30] drumstyk1-> perhaps your cdrom is going bad, let it cool of for a few before reburning... [02:30] i figured installing from a thumb drive would be simple enough, but i was wrong [02:31] has anyone noticed the EXT2IFS http://www.fs-driver.org doesn't work with filesystems formatted with ubuntu, but does seem to work with filesystems formatted on other distributions? [02:31] i've been able to verify this on two separate machines [02:31] hi, whats the difference between Hardy sever and Debian etch? [02:31] server.. [02:31] Kalidarn, they have worked for me for formated by ubuntu filesystems.. [02:31] how long ago Dr_willis [02:31] Kalidarn, i used that thing witht he last 3 or 4 ubuntu releases [02:31] Kalidarn-> is ext2ifs supported on yours ? [02:32] mhall119: i have not tried it on another pc. perhaps i should check the cd for errors on another machine === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL [02:32] I am looking to setup a dual boot machine. The problem is that my disk is already partitioned into 4 primary partitions (/boot /swap /home /root) and I don't want to get rid of any. Anyone see any problems with splitting my home into 2 extended and using the 2nd half for another OS [02:32] ext2/ext3 should be the same reguardless of the linux distro. [02:32] well when i was using gentoo and archlinux it detected the ext2/ext3 filesystems fine inside the ifs manager in windows [02:32] drumstyk1: I would do that, it could be your drive is bad [02:32] however when i try to mount the ones that i've formatted with ubuntu, it just says "unknown healthy partition" in MS's disk manager tool [02:32] the point is it should recognize it [02:32] Kalidarn i use it on my lappie with filesystems created with ubuntu fine [02:32] while external portable disks of mine [02:32] n8tuser: ok, i will try it again in a bit... u wouldn't happen to know anything about installing from a thumb drive would u? [02:32] (formatted with gentoo) work fine [02:33] Kalidarn, ive had WINDOWS be very confused whtn using that tool and want to format the FS"s if they are not proplerly unmounted from the linxu machine.. Do not use Hibernate/suspend under linux or windows with that tool [02:33] ah k Dr_willis [02:33] Let me rephrase my question, are there any differences between ubuntu and debian when it comes to server edition? [02:33] drumstyk1-> its been a while, id look at damn small linux techniques on how they do this [02:33] Kalidarn, i would not trust that tool very much.. It has 'issues' partly to blame on widnows.. :) [02:34] Kalidarn, i enable it.. access my files and then disable it.. thats the safest way [02:34] Dr_willis, i only use it for read only [02:34] stuff [02:34] itai-michaelson-> linux is linux, its the utilities to make the job of the admin easier, you can compare that to suse or redhat [02:34] Thats proberly a very good idea. :) [02:34] yerh its just so i can access installers and isos on that disk :P [02:34] kaldam: which version(s) of Ubuntu? By any chance are you running into a 128/256 byte inode issue? [02:34] i followed this guide http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-from-usb-stick.html but i can't get the pc to boot from it [02:34] NoelJB, possibly. [02:34] im using 8.10 [02:35] im pretty sure its something to do with the file system [02:35] and the way ubuntu has formatted it [02:35] Kalidarn: you can check with tune2fs to see the inode size. Older systems won't handle 256 byte inodes, but that appears to be the default for new releases. [02:35] ah [02:36] Kalidarn: just a guess, but easy enough to check. [02:36] yeah [02:36] n8tuser, the reason i ask is that i noticed that on the desktop debian is faster, i was wondering if on the server edition there could be differences [02:36] NoelJB, what switch is it ;) [02:36] for tune2fs [02:37] to identify inode count [02:37] itai-michaelson-> not sure how you are measuring the perceived speed, the hd read/write ? [02:37] -l isnt it :P [02:37] please does anyone know where to get airodump-ng? [02:37] hey mhall, my resolution is so messed up I can't get to the deactivate button, how do I go back to the previous driver [02:38] Kalidarn: yes, the -l === areeves is now known as sonikku [02:38] deadwrong83: that happened to me once. i think i was able to move the window or resize it enough to get to the button [02:38] NoelJB, and yes your right [02:39] the working FS has an inode size of 128, while ubuntu's is using 256 [02:39] none [02:39] I tried moving it and resizing it [02:39] Kalidarn: you have Inode size: 256 instead of Inode size: 128 ? [02:39] n8tuser, i guess a default install of ubuntu includes a lot of stuff i disable to get debian-like speed (like tracker or comiz). it seems that there are fewer processes running in debian, perhaps for the desktop ubuntu loads more processes by default [02:39] DeadWrong83: or if those don't work try moving the panels to the left and right sides of the screen === coulibaly is now known as dianklar [02:40] so i migth change that NoelJB and see if it works, ill email the guy at fs-driver and ask him if it he's planning on making it work with 256 sized inodes [02:40] i know gnucash is good for personal finance, do u guys recommend anyother software for closs platform business financing [02:40] n8tuser, i would think that the server edition will not come with things like tracker and compiz by default, correct? [02:40] itai-michaelson-> correct [02:40] n/m your right brainiac [02:41] I was clicking on it when I was trying to move it [02:41] also NoelJB the directory hash is different [02:41] DeadWrong83: Personally, I'd try CTRL-ALT-F1, shutting down gdm, uninstalling the old driver, installing the new one, and restarting gdm. But YMMV. [02:41] thanks guys [02:41] the working drive is using tea, while the other is using half_md4 [02:41] DeadWrong83: no prob [02:42] n8tuser, thanks [02:43] hell everyone [02:43] Kalidarn: tune2fs can change those for you. -I and -E. See the man page. [02:43] NoelJB, any problem in me moving my root off onto another disk, and reformatting those disks to have a smaller inode [02:43] So how can I copy files and tell it to ignore the IO device giving an error [02:43] or might ubuntu not like that [02:43] hello everyone sorry misspelled [02:43] have sex with it [02:43] Kalidarn: Honestly, I haven't tried doing it on the fly. The risk is on you. :) [02:43] exit [02:43] yar i wont do it on teh fly ;) [02:44] im going to copy and reformat and then move back [02:44] quit [02:44] easiest and safest way ;) [02:44] danny: /part [02:44] how do i configure on ubuntu desktop to connect to a remoter printer from a ubuntu server to use as a remoote printer? [02:44] nothing can go wrong then [02:44] remote* [02:44] what does Error 2 mean ?? when i get this when i use make [02:44] Anyone got any advice here? I am getting an Unmountable_Boot_Volume Error when i try to boot into windows on my dual boot, but the FS on the Windows NTFS filesystem checks out, though it is not flagged as bootable, what should I do next? [02:44] Kalidarn: well, in that case, you can copy, attempt tune2fs, see if it works, and reformat if necessary.

[02:56] praveen: good luck [02:56] nintendork32: see :) [02:58] ARob109: Hi. First how did you install Mythbuntu? Was it from Synaptic, did you use a sudo apt-get install command or did you compile it? [02:58] how do I make an application run at start up? [02:59] racarter, system>preferences>sessions [02:59] racarter: then hit add [02:59] hi at all, i have my 8.10 ubuntu just insalled but it see my second partition like a "linux-swap" how can i fix it??? [02:59] ok but first, isn't there a folder i can check to see if it already starts at an existing run level? [03:00] sorry, just curious how do it manually [03:00] racarter: hmm [03:00] paul567: I believe though synaptic. I just clicked the install link from: http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu [03:00] brainiac8008: oh, nice. I've just been adding items in ~/.config/autostart [03:00] racarter: there you go [03:00] dion [03:00] oh [03:00] ARob109: Ok just give me a sec to check that link out and i'll get back to you [03:00] racarter: ~/.config/autostart [03:00] brainiac8008: didn't know there was a gui for it [03:00] hi at all, i have my 8.10 ubuntu just insalled but it see my second partition like a "linux-swap" how can i fix it??? [03:00] ardchoille: yep [03:00] i thought it was harder than that, i thought you had to configure stuff in /etc/something [03:00] mikegriffin, that problem has already been addressed there [03:01] Hello, I have Ubuntu LiveCD and Iam trying to get it work as a pulsedriver server...

[03:03] gostaria de uma ajuda pelo amor de deus........... [03:03] ARob109: Ok, so I think that link installs it through Synaptic. Now the easy command that I would give you to enter in a terminal is "sudo apt-get remove mythbuntu-common" however, if that is a little to advanced for you, you could go into synaptic, search for mythbuntu and click to remove everything related ot it.

Do you think that it is due to the upgrade to the latest xorg version, as 'cat /dev/input/eventX' works fine in runlevel 3? [03:37] where do i copy the alsa-driver folder to [03:37] scientes, sure does ds18B!6 [03:37] err [03:37] ???????????????// [03:37] is this the channel for newbies [03:37] they should fix this one issue. when you install the kubuntu-desktop in ubuntu, it changes your login screen to kubuntus and you have to manually change it back [03:37] why can't i hide gnome panels beneath windows like the windows start bar so they dont waste screen space? [03:37] jazz49 this is for anything ubuntu related [03:38] jazz49: this channel is for everyone [03:38] thank you [03:38] gmweezel i think you can [03:38] theres an option in properties called autohide [03:38] how? [03:38] GMWeezel: there is autohide [03:38] right click the bar, properties [03:39] autohide doesnt work very well [03:39] how do I get drives other than my ubunto drive to mount automatically? [03:39] yeah its not the best =S [03:39] jazz you gotta edit /etc/fstab [03:39] sigh i cant believe they wont add such a simple feature [03:39] it's kinda complex. [03:39] GMWeezel: I didn't think it was possible in Windows [03:39] you need to make a directory too for a diff paritions [03:39] is there no gui to use? [03:40] mhall119: erm yeah it's possible. i never have my start bar on top. annoys the heck out of me. [03:40] possibly.. you get used to it after a while though [03:40] sudo fdisk -ls will list ur partitions [03:40] ive been using gnome for 2 years now. it still annoys me. [03:40] What are the Ubuntu Firefox Modifications that are installed in the Ubuntu firefox? [03:40] then do sudo mkdir /media/partitionName [03:40] jazz49: nop, u have to do it manually [03:40] GMWeezel: huh, mine is always above the windows [03:40] then when you edit fstab you enter in some string [03:40] how do I find terminal? it is not in menus [03:40] its under application i think [03:40] mhall119: can be disabled by right clicking and goign to properites and disabling "always on top." === vahnx2 is now known as vahnx [03:41] so it is [03:41] thanks, GMWeezel [03:41] no problem [03:41] jazz 1 sec im gonna google for a simple tutorial if i can find one to link you [03:41] tks [03:41] GMWeezel: it might be possible in KDE or XFCE [03:42] nomasteryoda: We need to talk. [03:42] i hate the way KDE looks and id rather not switch window managers just because they lack such a simple feature because i know of some KDE lacks that gnome has that would bother me more. [03:42] irc.igs.ca [03:42] Gnome is kind of known for doing things their way, and not making every option possible [03:43] when running amarok in ubuntu 8.10 i get a audio output unavailble... the device is busy ... any suggestions how to fix that ? [03:43] GMWeezel: KDE4 is nice now, :) [03:43] i know many kde heads. gnome i find is easier to navigate but crashes more [03:43] <3 KDE4 [03:43] kde4 is pretty nice [03:43] LF|Irssi: but still, i prefer fluxbox & LXDE lol [03:43] i hate the style of the icons, not the form. the bubblyness. ew... [03:43] gr fluxbox! hehe [03:43] Does KDE4 support Japanese input? [03:43] vahnx: yeah, even windows 7 is using KDE4 [03:43] hehe yeah i saw that [03:44] Crap, when will nomasteryoda get back? [03:44] well that's not a bad thing no? [03:44] i cant find a newbie guide to automounting partitions at boot [03:44] vahnx: it is not a bad thing, if M$ admit that they r using KD$4, lol [03:44] i know if you install ubuntu last it usually autodetects all partitions [03:45] vahnx: install disk-manager [03:45] Windows 7 actually uses KDE? [03:45] a kde like bar [03:45] nullie_: yeah, and they modified it and claim i as their own work [03:45] lol [03:45] nullie_: when their 1st alpha, they even running fluxbox and conky on it, lol [03:46] ok well there is a difference between "kde" and "kde like", i dont care what they have stole, i just wanna see em laughed at [03:46] hello, please ubuntu 8.10 its a gusty or a hardy ? [03:46] I tried "storage device manager" but can not get it to do anything [03:46] how do you enable the cube [03:46] it's not really kde. just the taskbar looks similar [03:46] 8.10 is intrepid [03:46] when running amarok in ubuntu 8.10 i get a audio output unavailble... the device is busy ... any suggestions how to fix that ? [03:46] instead of quicklaunch the icons r bigger and expand when u click them [03:46] not that i'd know [03:46] ok so i open text editor, click on save, and my program crashes. tried it again - crash. tried open office - CRASH! [03:46] vahnx: i heard their so called "hybrid kernel" uses bsd kernel codes, lol [03:47] it won't let me save text files to disk but it will let me save files from the internet [03:47] the only way they can recover from vista is by stealing. which i don't see can have that bad an outcome [03:47] i think they're learning from their mistakes with vista [03:47] any 8.10 mini 9 users??? [03:48] vahnx: yeah, [03:48] is it true toshiba will be running OS X -__- and does Microsoft own ibm and hp? [03:48] sgtski: not me, i prefer to debootstrap myself... [03:49] 这里有 中国人加入吗 ？ [03:49] win 7 IS Vista,,, gah! what are you thinking? [03:49] I not a mini 9 user but I am on an apsire one [03:49] vahnx: nop, M$ dun own them, just they have a damn contract to force them to install vista....

Can you show me what the first line of the if statement should look like? [03:55] anyone know why ubunti dropped sparc support? [03:55] in my optionin from what i see, 99.7% Windows, .1% mac, and .2% linux [03:55] too many platforms, not enough people [03:56] i think macs is a little larger then that vahnx [03:56] bungieQord, if [ test -f filename ] ; then [03:56] mhall119: was that directed at me? [03:56] bungieQord, that tests if the file is a regular file [03:56] possibly. i live in canada tho where everything is expensive [03:56] weird, it appaears the xserver is being stopped but when i try to load the newer drivers it says you appear to have an xserver running therefore the dirvers cannot be installed [03:56] dmarkey: yes, sorry [03:57] mac is expensive regardless where you live though vahnx [03:57] Canonical doesn't have enough people, and they wanted to focus more on the server and mobile versions, so something had to be cut [03:57] mass ban o.O [03:57] usser, thank you [03:57] okay, just had a problem come up that has only happened once before... i went to run vmware and, after doing a cut 'n paste to the session, my ctrl and shift keys won't work anymore [03:58] i think ctrl leaves input from the vm, not too sure tho [03:58] in virtualbox ctrl leaves [03:58] i would use a mac but i had bad experiences using the version before leopard in a computer graphics class :| [03:58] hrm, i'll check 3vmware 9see/ no shift key1 argh...0 [03:59] i just started using a mac like a week ago. making a techno song in garage band [03:59] other than garageband i find macs pretty stale [03:59] bungieQord, sorry lose test. [ substitutes it. ie you can write if test -f filename ; then or if [ -f filename ] ; then [04:00] how do you paste in nano? [04:00] bungieQord: just click [04:00] im surprised microshaft hasnt ordered apple to port garageband to windows or microshaft pulls the mac version of ms office or something [04:00] hey everytime Ubuntu install touches my NTFS File System it corrupts it. any advice for how to tell Ubuntu to leave it alone? [04:00] bungieQord: depends on how your term is setup though either middle click or left click [04:00] kitche, I have a weird glitch right now where right-click is not working, I'd have to reboot [04:00] or to prevent the corruption? also Gparted seems to be doing the same thing unfortunetly [04:01] bitmouse: try uninstalling ntfs-3g driiver should fix it === TehKnoX is now known as Friedrick [04:01] is there a program like limewire for kubuntu [04:01] a big percentage of microsofts cash comes from office [04:01] hi. where would i be able to find the default human theme for download in .tar.gz format? i have a computer that's not running ubuntu, but that i would like to use the human theme on GTK [04:01] !info frostwire > TJ12 [04:01] Package frostwire does not exist in intrepid [04:01] i think [04:01] bitmouse: mount it read only [04:01] I installed 8.10 on eee pc 1000 and compiled rt2860sta wireless drivers.

Does Ubuntu pick that up from the default gateway somehow? (In Windows it always seemed like you have to manually specify the DNS servers...) [04:54] Dr_willis: how would i go about making it bootable? [04:54] i have a dual boot system, is there any way to make my ubuntu partition do a virtual boot inside of windows? [04:54] bitmouse, never seen the bootable flag affect anything at all.. [04:55] windowsgavemeara, totally depends on the os you are trying to boot on the cd. and how it boots.. [04:55] wos, creative use of virtualbox or vmware perhaps. [04:55] wos, or qemu [04:55] dr_willis whats qemu? [04:55] !info qemu [04:56] qemu (source: qemu): fast processor emulator.

[04:56] windowsgavemeara, there exist tinyxp iso files.. 'out there' [04:57] wos, confiture virtualbox to use the existing 'real' hard drive.. if it can.. Not sure how to do that with it.. [04:58] Dr_willis: so its not poissible to make my own bootable iso? i have a slow conection and dont feel like re-downloading [04:58] Dr_willis: or are you saying its alot of effort? [04:58] I tried to install a prrogram and got this error, how can i fix it? http://pastebin.com/d2dd03a92 [04:58] can anyone tell me if its possible to make virtualbox to use a real boot partition? [04:58] windowsgavemeara, no idea how windows boots from a cd.. irs proberly possible.. but you would hae to do some googling on the topic [04:59] I am getting this error when I am trying to connect to MYSQL on my server. http://paste.ubuntu.com/75846/. Please help me with the same. Iam remote connected to my server [04:59] im using 8.10 and im trying to install some packages and it tells me to put the cd in and i put an ibex cd in and it just keeps asking for the cd [04:59] Dr_willis: my partition scheme is (boot/ext2) (windows/ntfs) (linux/ext3) (swap/ext2) windows works, even after moving it around on the hard drive, (to slide in the boot partition at the begining), until I run the ubuntu 8.10 command line install, then I get a BSOD [05:00] question... is Ubuntu UMPC and Ubuntu Netbook Remix the same project? [05:00] bitmouse, windows for me has HATED not being on the first partition of its drive.. do yoyu really need the /boot partition? ive not needed one of those in years. [05:01] [22:46] [20:46] I'M NOT BEING NEGATIVE [05:01] hi all. is there some sort of mirror tool that will seek out the fastest mirror to me ?

[05:03] and.... its doing what? exploding the pc? bursting into flames? Not booting? .... [05:03] is there a text to speech engine for ubuntu hardy? [05:03] err.. burn the iso file to cd and boot it up... [05:03] !burn [05:03] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [05:03] Dont I need to partion? [05:04] Drace, the installer can resize existing windows partiions [05:04] Dr_willis: you are probably the only voice of reason I have heard in a while, my concern is that on this pc i didn't do a boot partition, and I think that it wouldn't boot into windows for the first couple tries, then one day it just started randomly booting into windows, does that sound possible to you? [05:04] or if using vista you can use vistas tools to resize the ntfs to a smaller size.. leaving part of the HD unallocated. [05:04] I need help with installing ubuntu.

[05:05] howdy, i'm having trouble configuring krb5 auth on my new intrepid ibex systems, same settings work fine for the hardy heron ldap/krb server to auth against itself, and for centos machines, has anyone run into similar problems or perhaps suggest a resource for ubuntu-specific info about the use of MIT KRB5? === TalkSoup is now known as justizin [05:05] bitmouse, somthing sounds flakey there... :) i tend to keep my linux and windows isntalls each on their own hard drives.. so ive not had to mess with the dualbooting issues much at all in the last few years [05:06] Randall1: You mean /sysinfo ? or what? [05:06] sorry about that [05:06] back [05:06] CD-R or DVD-R?

See http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Baustelle/Text-to-Speech [05:07] Dr_Willis, since you just mentioned hard drives, is it possible to boot/install ubuntu with an external? I don't have xp anymore. Wiped it last night thinking everything would go smoothly, and now I'm stuck running livecd. [05:07] arooni: kttsd, txt2pho, mbrola (Hadfix), Festival IMS; Festival OGI, espeak with ktts; Orca and espeak, Adobe Reader 8.1.x.

[05:07] jazzyditty, proberly is.. but ive never done so.. it would be a bit slow.. I do have a ubuntu-presistant usb install on a thumbdrive.. [05:07] dmsuperman: well the 2 problems i'm having are 1, sysinfor doesn't know what xorg file version i have and my x server restarts randomly 2, I can't get a Geforce MX 420 video card to work [05:07] bullgard4: what's up? [05:08] Aron: Xcuse me. [05:08] How can I dual boot? [05:08] kevin1, i would remove the cd from the repisorty listing. and just download stuff from teh internet [05:08] bullgard4, got a english version [05:08] kevin1, open synaptic settings->repositories and disable cdrom [05:09] Dracey: By installing a dual boot installer. [05:09] ok thainks [05:09] Is there a better way to go about it? I can't burn anything to disc since the only thing i can wrong without error is livecd. [05:09] >? [05:09] and we do that how :-$ [05:09] Total noob at this [05:09] Dr_willis: yeah I don't know what it is exactly, I have to use one harddrive cause I'm on a laptop, part of the problem may be this partition that my bios tries to save for backup purposes, I've disabled it, but it seams that windows doesn't pick up the space while linux does, maybe, when i see it in linux I should just leave it alone [05:09] anyone got time to help me get some refresh rates right? I been using the gtf tool, but doesn't seem to work right [05:10] Is there a number I can call to get customer service regarding ubuntu? [05:10] What TV players does Ubuntu provide except for zattoo? [05:10] !support [05:10] The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org [05:10] I dont even know the rates for 'official comercial' support. :) [05:10] jazzyditty, you'd have to pay for phone support, but the internet help is free [05:10] and probably better [05:10] Crap. [05:11] bullgard4, you mean programs to use tv-tuner cards? [05:11] I just want ubuntu already! =[ [05:11] !language jazzyditty [05:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:11] Er, language? [05:11] For what? [05:11] did a !language for crap? lol [05:11] and why cant you get it jazzy? [05:12] !download [05:12] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Intrepid, and help keeping the servers' load low! [05:12] Dr_willis: I am gonna reboot, so if you have any ideas please save them for a moment [05:12] anyone know how to get proper refresh rates correct in xorg.conf? [05:12] kindofabuzz: Figure out what they are and enter them? [05:13] dmsuperman, i've done that [05:13] kindofabuzz: Monitors usually have them printed on a sticker on the back [05:13] Well, i've got the disc, but when i ran it (to test and install), when I ran the install program on livecd, it goes about half way, stops and gives me an error saying to try burning the cd at a slower speed, but i can't. I formatted my drive, so I don't have xp anymore. I do have an external HD, though. Any advice? (anyone) [05:13] Dr_willis: No. I mean programs that allow me to receive TCP/IP TV programs through the Internet. [05:13] dmsuperman, they are in correct [05:13] Anyone know how I can disable and enable users for SSH? A user on my machine has a weak password and I want to disable this user from being accessed through SSH. [05:13] bullgard4, you mean watch video streams like at shoutcast? [05:13] Dr_willis: Yes. [05:13] Trying ubuntu demo in....10 [05:14] bullgard4, doezens of apps can do that.. vlc/mplayer/ several streamtuner specific browser/apps also.. [05:14] Dracey. Me? [05:14] ldiamond, you can add a line of "AllowUsers" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [05:14] VLC is usually the best streaming video player [05:14] ldiamond, of course, you have to restart sshd after that [05:14] should I install 8.04, my old version on top of 8.10? [05:15] dli, ill try that thanks. But is there a way to define a user? [05:15] Dr_willis: Thank you for your suggestions. I will have a closer look at those programs. [05:15] some applications tend to act strangely on 8.10 that worked better on 8.04. [05:15] ldiamond, that line should list allowed users [05:15] ldiamond, you list all allowed there [05:15] I wonder if theres a DenyUsers list :) [05:15] I just partitioned a new drive with gparted and I have (primary /sdb1, primary /sdb3, primary /sdb4, extension /sdb2, logical /sdb5 etc.) Is it a problem that the extension is on sdb2? I thought it would go on sbd4? [05:16] molly: It doesn't matter, really [05:16] molly: The numbering scheme is just convention, it's by no means a requirement [05:16] some programs will warn about them being out of order.. [05:16] iam not able to log in as root into mysql. please help me [05:16] how will windows see the partitions? [05:16] back a saurus rex [05:17] molly: Windows doesn't see EXT2/3 partitions [05:17] But windows is the same way, it doesn't matter (aside from C:\) what drive letter things are [05:17] well there's some fat32 partitions on the extension [05:17] ext2fs lets windows see ext2/3 paritions [05:17] dli, but the users have to exist on the system? Is there a way to define a user for SSH only [05:17] Better question for everyone, if all I have is livecd and an external hard drive, how can I go about getting ubuntu installed if the cd im running right now was burnt too fast and i need another copy but it cant be via cd as im using the disk drive. [05:17] ext2ifo does as well [05:17] I'm just saying by default windows doesn't [05:17] molly: ext2fs WILL let windows see ext2/3 partitions [05:17] Those 'let windows see ext2/3 fileystems tools' should be used with EXTREME caution. :) [05:17] iam not able to log in as root into mysql. please help me [05:18] yeah, only used caps so that the text wouldn't be missed [05:18] ldiamond, tell me by example, what do you want to do [05:18] I have openssh up and running, I was just wondering if there was some way to make it so users are locked into certain directories and can't roam wherever they want to go? (not just their home directory, but also specific directories on separate harddrives) [05:18] dr_willis: I know, that's why I made fat32 partitions for data I want to share between windows and linux [05:18] jazzyditty, got a thumbdrive? You could make a bootable usb-thumbdrive.. [05:18] yeah, I only use mine to grab stuff off of the partition, and that's it [05:18] dli, There is currently only one user on the system and the password is very easy to guess. I want to give myself a SSH access to this user but use a very complex password for the outside world. [05:19] Would a 2gb memory card work? [05:19] jazzditty: it should.. what kind of machine are you on? [05:19] jazzyditty, dont know if it will be bootable or not.. you could use the unetbootin tool and try it. [05:19] can someone help me please iam not able to log in as root into mysql. please help me [05:19] krish_: Reset your root password [05:20] Is there anybody here running lotus domino 8.5 beta (or any other domino) on intrepid or hardy? Please join me on #ubuntu-offtopic [05:20] i'm on a gateway [05:20] ldiamond, why not disable password login, and use public keys? [05:20] krish_: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=reset+mysql+root+password [05:20] dmsyperman i remember my root password [05:20] will that unetbootin tool work in livecd, dr_willis? [05:20] ldiamond, password itself is a weakness [05:21] dli, I'd be glad to use any good solution [05:21] sudo echo "Hello mrs Simpson. How are you?" | festival --tts ==> ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:546: audio open error: Device or resource busy ... on ubuntu hardy... how do i fix? [05:21] dmsuperman i remember my root password [05:21] jazzyditty, it has a windows version, that uses the livecd iso file.. to create the thumbdrive thing. [05:21] dli, how do I set this up? [05:21] krish_: How are you logging into it? [05:21] dmsuperman mysql -u root -p [05:22] krish_: And what's it say? [05:22] i don't have windows. i don't have any OS at the moment. i'm just running good ol' livecd to get some answers. [05:22] ldiamond, PasswordAuthentication no [05:22] ldiamond, ChallengeResponseAuthentication no [05:22] jazzyditty, Not sure what to do then.. You sort of painted yoruself in a corner. [05:22] ldiamond, PubkeyAuthentication yes [05:22] krish_: It's "mysql -uroot -p" by the way. It usually doesn't really matter, but it's just something to keep in mind [05:22] Dr_willis: Synaptic says that 'streamtuner' is "a GUI audio stream directory browser." Why do you recommend it to me as a TV player? [05:23] jazzyditty, You may be able to use the live cd and its make-usb-bootdisk tool to make a similer thing.. [05:23] ldiamond, on the client machine: generate keys: ssh-keygen -t rsa [05:23] jazzyditty you can use dd to write directly to the usb drive, check dmesg to see what its' device is [05:23] and yah if you can use make-usb-bootdisk that is probably easier ;) [05:23] speaking of booting from usb, i'll bbiaw.. [05:23] ldiamond, you can just supply empty passphrase [05:23] dmsuperman iam getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/75852/ [05:23] bullgard4, your use of the term 'tv player' is totally wrong.. a video stream is a video stream.. tv player - means to most people in here an app to use a tv tuner card... [05:24] jazzyditty: maybe your "live cd" is the install cd, you are just running it "live"? [05:24] justin, what you said confused me. [05:24] it is, but when i ran the install, it stops and gives me an error. in short, it said "try burning disk at a slower speed" [05:24] ldiamond, then, copy the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub over to the server: like: scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub server:.ssh/authorized_keys [05:24] jazzyditty: ah, I see! [05:24] bullgard4, i tend to use 'tunapie' as a browser. it finds the stream lists onteh internet.. then launches the player to watch them [05:25] ldiamond, of course, some catch 22 here, if you already disabled password ssh login [05:25] so, what's dmesg? and...dd? lol [05:25] anyone having trouble with their computer restarting when shutting down ?? ... mother board is OK ... power supply is OK ... I can shut down in Ubuntu using hibernate [05:25] hi [05:25] jazzyditty maybe ifyou have enough memory youcould try downloading and burning the minimal install CD within the live CD and installing off the net [05:25] krish_: I'm not entirely sure...I suggest resetting the password and trying to see if the new one works [05:25] ldiamond, the idea: you can copy public key over: you can post it online, or send by email, whatever, just append to sever ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [05:26] my external harddrive is normally detected and mounted by ubuntu 8.10 now its giving me an error [05:26] alright, i'll give that a shot! do you by any chance have a link rave1?

[05:32] dli, cli only [05:32] wookienz, parted [05:32] parted [05:32] ubuntu livecd [05:32] wookienz, or cfdisk [05:33] jazzy: you can mount them to a folder (like in /media)..

[05:42] banshe is my username on my dedi [05:42] so i cant access /home/banshe/ [05:42] blackpearl: what you plannignt od owith it? [05:42] hi all [05:42] I need help, I installed unbuntu on my laptop and everything worked great. Untill I ran the system updates and installed them. Now my wireless can see the networks but not connect. [05:42] or is there a different way to install from the ubuntu cd? a...better way in my case? [05:42] im guess xubuntu is the distro for slower pc's\ [05:42] dli, it says Invalid User, I guess my ssh command must be wrongl [05:43] question: is there a nice gui alarm clock I can use? [05:43] jazzyditty, possible if your bios supports it [05:43] anyone knows of a camstudio like for ubuntu?? [05:43] do tell rave1. [05:43] wookienz : my query says it all ..dudu [05:43] mib_sh1hs32d, you can not get help, unless you can provide error messages [05:43] ldiamond-> are you doing this to a localhost? [05:43] usser, i tried that and i still fail to remote into my ubuntu box from a windows box. Is there a log file on ubuntu i can check why it is refusing connection ? [05:43] c0d3-r3d: Are you sure that's wher ethe ftp server says you should end up in? [05:43] c0d3-r3d: Let's test [05:43] well pentium 3 [05:43] c0d3-r3d: Open a terminal [05:43] ldiamond, ssh user@server [05:43] c0d3-r3d: Ftp "ftp YOURSERVER" [05:43] c0d3-r3d: It'll ask for user/pass, enter them [05:43] c0d3-r3d: Then enter "ls" and tell me if it lists your documents [05:43] wookienz : i am not able to save in that partioton (virtual) when i am using Ubuntu [05:43] !xbuntu [05:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about xbuntu [05:43] dli-> i would ask him to test it locally first rather than remote [05:43] dli, but I'm not using a username anymore right? [05:44] !xubuntu [05:44] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [05:44] so why do you want to change it to ntfs? [05:44] ldiamond, ssh requires username, if you leave it blank, it sends the current username [05:44] jazzyditty, it has been my exp. that sometimes install errors can be elimiated if the drive is zeroed before formating [05:45] dli, I see, thank you [05:45] how do i zero my drive, then? i'm willing to try anything. [05:45] i read that on a site earlier, but it didn't say how to do it. [05:45] dli, do you know how to setup some kind of remote desktop that is secure? [05:45] k [05:45] it does [05:45] dli, maybe through SSH [05:45] ldiamond, vpn should be good enough [05:46] i see everything in /home/banshe/ [05:46] ldiamond, or, vnc over ssh [05:46] ok [05:46] ill give fluxbuntu a try [05:46] c0d3-r3d: Hrm...then I'm not sure I don't normally use nautilus [05:46] dli, VPN would be great. [05:46] what do u normally use? [05:46] c0d3-r3d: sudo apt-get install filezilla and give that a try if you like [05:46] k [05:47] dli, But then, is there something like Remote Desktop (the m$ one) on ubuntu? Something that doesnt just render a Jpeg like VNC? [05:47] sudo apt-get install filezilla [05:47] oops [05:47] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [05:47] jazzyditty, it can be done on command line within the live CD I just don't remember all thecommand sorry [05:47] c0d3-r3d: Close your updates window [05:47] c0d3-r3d: Or synaptic or something [05:47] check the forums [05:47] c0d3-r3d: Something is open [05:47] so, i just booted the netbook remix usb key, which like, wiped my drive and untarred a second-stage install. did i miss something in the wiki about it not being a normal installer? i was hoping i could get out of wubi and use xfs or something, but now my vendor-installed windows is gone, not that i super care, but it's nice to have a fallback in case i break my ubuntu.. [05:47] haha [05:47] its the synaptic :P [05:48] it's cool. so, just google "zero a drive"? [05:48] ldiamond, I am not sure vnc does jpeg: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=383053 [05:48] what shoudl I do to force the removal of a package from dpkg? --remove fails everytime and it stays 'installed' [05:48] c0d3-r3d : can u plz explain what this command do "sudo apt-get" [05:48] jazzyditty: You want to zero a drive? [05:48] installs stuff for ya :) [05:48] yes [05:48] ldiamond, I can copy text over vnc === alicia__ is now known as alicia [05:48] jazzyditty: Easiest way is "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/SDXX" [05:48] hi guys, could anyone help me out to find the relevant config file to edit in order to influence non X based console layout? and how about ctrl+alt+F(x) not working using xorg? [05:48] hi, how do i check the folder size of folders in the pwd alone? :-\ [05:48] jazzyditty, they frown on posting dangerous commands like that here [05:49] mkartic, du -sh [05:49] jazzyditty: I'm pretty sure that needs a sudo too [05:49] hey there [05:49] dli: thanks [05:49] c0d3-r3d : thankyou , i am posting my query but noboady seems to be interested in replying [05:49] !apt | blackpearl [05:49] blackpearl: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [05:49] dli, yes, but last time I checked, the text was sent through an image. So the selections you made were just a reflection of the selection on the server side [05:49] i just know the answer :) [05:49] all the bars at the top of windows are gone. The top of firefox and mirc run in wine and everything else i run... i have to right click the bottom to exit things [05:49] dli: i guess i phrased it wrong, if am in ./a/ i want to know the sizes of folders inside 'a'! [05:50] i turned on remote access to my ubuntu box using the vino-preferences. Im not able to connect using tight-vnc from windows box. Is there anything I should look at ? [05:50] Ferrous: "compiz --replace" [05:50] thank you [05:50] Ferrous: Er, which window decorator do you use? [05:50] mkartic, du -sh . [05:50] Ferrous: If you use compiz that's right [05:50] ldiamond: what do you want to do? access a remote computer with a GUI? [05:50] hi [05:50] yeah, i use compiz : ) [05:50] Anyone know if Nvidia 9800 GT and/or GTX will work with 8.04 and 8.10 out of the box???? [05:50] Ferrous: Then yup compiz --replace [05:50] i've just installed xubuntu, want this computer to use openbox - help to install? [05:50] i'm so confused. could you post the whole code superman? you can PM if you want. [05:50] ldiamond, I can copy from vnc windows and paste it locally [05:50] still it shows only the .'s size [05:51] Dante123: I had to install video drivers for my friend's 9800GTX in hardy [05:51] Dante123, yep, probably will work fine. [05:51] Dante123: I couldn't even start X [05:51] with 8.10 the gfx driver installatio is EASY [05:51] Hi - Does anyone know where the default folder for KDE desktop wallpaper is ? ? [05:51] It's the same, basically [05:52] Okay, I'm looking to get a new graphics card. I was looking at 9800 gt (comes with cod4 game) for around $105 us. Friend is suggesting Ati 4870 but it is quite a bit pricier I think. [05:52] sudo echo "Hello mrs Simpson. How are you?" | festival --tts ==> ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:546: audio open error: Device or resource busy ... on ubuntu hardy... how do i fix? [05:52] Goth, Yes, but I prefer something that takes less bandwidth than VNC, like remote desktop [05:52] I am doing some data recovery and I need to see how my data is dispersed on the drive... to see if it is all near the front of the drive [05:52] Dante123: It's up to you. If you prefer one over the other, I say go for it [05:52] dli, yes, the Clipboard is shared with VNC [05:52] aww shoot. dmsuperman, none of the things it checked for when trying to perform compiz --replace were there. Can i somehow reinstall compiz completely? [05:52] Dante123: They're equally as likely to work [05:52] how can I check this without ... damaging the drive in the process? [05:52] dli, it just takes more bandwidth [05:53] Ferrous: sudo apt-get --purge remove compiz && sudo apt-get install compiz will reinstall it [05:53] ldiamond, I don't know what is remote desktop [05:53] thanks i got filezilla now and that works right :) [05:53] ldiamond: you want to connect to a linux box using a linux box? [05:53] ldiamond: FreeNX [05:53] mib_sh1hs32d: what card? [05:53] Anyone here good with bash script? [05:53] Goth, yes [05:53] ldiamond: FreeNX uses super low bandwidth. Over the internet, with my crappy upload, it is almost real-time [05:53] ldiamond, gdm xdmcp? I think it uses more bandwidth [05:53] ldiamond: if that's the case you can use SSH with X forward [05:54] hello === ubuntu is now known as c4pt [05:54] humm, well, I guess Ill stick with plain ssh for now, and bother setting that up later [05:54] ldiamond: it's not complicated [05:54] ldiamond, ssh -C , also [05:54] ldiamond: do you've ssh working? [05:55] Goth, almost, I had it working, now it doesnt work anymore === teKnofreak is now known as techno_freak [05:55] ldiamond: you just have to connect using ssh -X or ssh -Y [05:55] hm, i think my irc app crashed a few min ago.. i'm curious, i installed from the netbook remix 1.0.1 usb image, and i have hardy, search/replace for hardy/intrepid yields about 50% nonexistant sources, so i'm wondering what the best way to upgrade this system to intrepid would be. [05:55] how do i find out my southbridge information northbridge information and audio codec? using lspci? [05:55] and have a line on your sshd_config file [05:55] I need some help, trying to make a bash script that takes two integer arguments, 1st being smaller than 2nd, and have the output count from the 1st to the 2nd. [05:55] can anyone help me out a bit with direction [05:56] thank you, dmsuperman [05:56] Ferrous: :) [05:56] i shall restart and see if things are well =_= [05:56] blackpearl: sorted out your issue yet? [05:56] ldiamond: FreeNX works just like VNC, except it compresses very well to use low bandwidth [05:57] how can I manaully force a package to be removed from the dpkg dataebase? it failed installing half way through and now fails when --removing :) wonderfull huh? [05:58] i keep getting "permission denied" when i try to zero the drive. why? [05:58] Awsoonn: Try apt-get autoclean ? [05:58] jazzyditty: sudo? [05:58] jazzyditty: Try it with sudo? [05:58] dmsuperman: thanks I'll give it a shot [05:58] is sudo a program? [05:59] ubottu : why are you telling me about APT ?? [05:59] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:59] jazzyditty: Pretty much [05:59] no it gives you psuedo root powers. [05:59] blackpearl: You asked what apt-get was earlier [05:59] where is it? [05:59] wookienz: It's still an app [05:59] jazzyditty: Type "where sudo" [05:59] i stand corrected [05:59] jazzyditty: Sorry, "type sudo" [06:00] It's /usr/bin/sudo [06:00] It works like an other command, it accepts arguments and does things [06:00] do i type that in terminal? [06:00] The only difference is that it takes the arguments, elevates the user to root, then executes the arguments as a command [06:00] jazzyditty: Yeah [06:00] dmsuperman : gr8..thnx anyway..but by issue is somethig else...i am able to post my query corretly SO i am uploading images at imageshack...give me some time..

[06:01] dmsuperman i'm still without window borders and the topmost bars [06:01] :O [06:01] when linux was just frustrating because i knew shit. now however... i still know shit but i understand "man". [06:01] i'm so confused. =[ [06:01] ddrescue is sloooow [06:02] jazzyditty: type your command again but put "sudo" beofre it [06:02] jazzyditty: If you're getting permissions erros, it's because your user isn't allowed to access the drive directly [06:02] jazzyditty: Give this a read: [06:02] !sudo | jazzyditty [06:02] jazzyditty: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesudo (KDE) [06:02] !gksu|wookienz [06:02] wookienz, please see my private message [06:02] i just fixed wireless driver issues and immidiately ran into java support, then suddenly the window borders disappeared. heh [06:03] but i love ubuntu, it pleases me anyway. [06:03] Ferrous: Type "compiz --replace" in a terminal and pastebin the results [06:03] i dont think i have an account set up yet. so how would that work? [06:03] jazzyditty: You're logged in right now with an account [06:04] idk the password though. it was ubuntu's account. or whatever. [06:04] I'm compiling wine from git. Readme says: 'You need to have the X11 development include files installed (called xlib6g-dev in Debian and XFree86-devel in Red Hat).' What's this in Ubuntu? [06:04] jazzyditty: You don't know the password to login to your accoutn? [06:05] no, it doesn't require one [06:05] it signs me in automatically. [06:05] http://pastebin.ca/1264859 [06:05] jazzyditty: Are you on the live cd? [06:05] yeah [06:05] lol [06:06] jazzyditty: Well :P [06:06] can you zero before the system boots? or... [06:07] Sure, you can zero another drive [06:07] Why do you need to zero it? [06:07] yeah... it's apparent i'm missing parts of compiz but i am unsure how to fix the indevidual things : P [06:07] You can just install over it [06:07] oi. [06:07] someone said that zero'ing it may make the install work, because i get an error when i try. [06:07] Ferrous: I don't think you have your video drivers installed right [06:07] D: [06:07] Ferrous: nVidia card right? [06:08] jazzyditty: I doubt zero'ing the drive will do anything [06:08] jazzyditty: you culd run some other diag software over the drive to find any erros on the disk instead of zero'ing it [06:08] uhm.. acer onboard... shall i check? [06:08] Ferrous: Please do [06:08] if i install ubuntu will it recognise my wireless card ?

[06:10] macjason0: what card? [06:10] macjason0: My laptop worked out of the box [06:10] aww shoot. I'm unsure how to check. I used hardware testing to check my wireless card, it isn't in the same place for that... eh. [06:10] dmsuperman what specs ? [06:10] jthan: from where to where? [06:10] macjason0: It was an older Dell laptop...latitude D600 [06:10] wartalker im just asking so when i do get a laptop i will know [06:10] macjason0: Intel Prosomething 2100 wireless driver [06:10] oh nice dmsuperman [06:11] wookienz: I'm trying to download a stage3 tarball to a specific folder, but when it finishes downloading it doesn't give me the options like normally. [06:11] i found a youtube video on wifi and ubuntu [06:11] ok a bit foreign to me, whst options usually [06:11] ? [06:12] jthan: If you get the url of the package you can just wget it [06:12] jthan: "wget http://path-to-download" [06:12] my parents keep leaving the room with their f*ing music playing [06:12] haha [06:12] dmsuperman: Ooh okay. that worked.

Install went fine, booted into it first time OK, but now when i boot it, I sometimes (about one boot in 3, I don't know what triggers it) get an error on boot that X fails to start and dropped to a CLI login. when i log in, the file system is read only, and i cant perform any write operations on any files, even with sudo [06:13] anyone seen this or something similar before ? [06:14] okay. I thought it might try to add settings that weren't there before, but it may be that it just links to the other settings for compiz alone [06:14] i'll disable the pretty effects and see if i can get things normal ._. [06:14] It just gives you a quick way to run "compiz --replace" [06:14] :P [06:14] anyone? [06:14] O.o [06:15] srx2002: What error? [06:15] i've never gotten "paint fire on the screen" to work. heh. It sounded fun.. oh well. [06:15] It's pretty pointless [06:15] You can't actually do anything with the fire on screen [06:15] You have to hide the fire to continue using your OS === rajesh is now known as Guest42553 [06:16] hi room [06:16] !hi [06:16] Hi!

Now i want to use it in windows, how can i find out which driver should i download? The device info in ubuntu shows that it's a RTL8139 card. I bought it 8 years ago [06:24] GNOME, not KDE. [06:24] Did you buy the computer with the card? [06:24] hello [06:24] liye: I'd start by searching for "RTL8139 windows driver" [06:25] i'm trying to egt my vivitar vivicam35 to work [06:25] can anyone help? [06:25] ttmrichter_: amaroK works pretty good, but it's a KDE app [06:25] PrestonPandaa: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [06:25] Goto the manufacture website [06:25] ttmrichter_: You don't need KDE to run it though [06:25] oops [06:25] can anyone help me with themes?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:26] dmsuperman: yes, i did. and i did download a driver and installed, however it didn't work. I mean, maybe the card is too old, that the driver doesn't support it anymore? [06:26] kkathman: What package? [06:26] dmsuperman: http://pastebin.com/m110f783 [06:26] dmsuperman, thewidgetfactory [06:27] Awsoonn: :( [06:27] dmsuperman: the card supports only 10Mbps mode [06:27] Awsoonn: That seems like one of those "dpkg got confused" things [06:27] Awsoonn: Beyond my skills, sadly [06:27] sheesh [06:27] dmsuperman: indeed and I need to slap it around a bit, have anywhere to send me? [06:27] i installed gnome-themes and gnome-themes-extras where are they? [06:27] kkathman: You could try "dpkg -L thewidgetfactory" [06:28] on right click desktop settings nothing new there [06:28] Awsoonn: Here, usually, but this is the time when US is going to sleep and UK isn't quite up yet [06:28] Awsoonn: So it's pretty dead [06:28] dmsuperman, thank you [06:28] * Sokal-EC is USA [06:28] dmsuperman, that gave me the clue :) [06:28] has it slowed down a bit again? :P [06:28] * Goth isn't from UK but it has the same time of day. lol [06:29] kkathman: :) [06:29] phew [06:29] i installed gnome-themes and gnome-themes-extras where are they? [06:29] excuse me, first time using ubuntu. i need to know why whenever i use xchat, the top of the xchat is missing. [06:29] D3javu: is that only in xchat or all apps? [06:30] only on xchat so far. [06:30] D3javu: Do you have some compiz rules or something? [06:30] hrm, not sure then [06:30] now that i downloaded lame how do i find the file "libmp3lame.so"??? [06:30] D3javu: Is it in fullscreen mode? [06:30] Arod22: "locate libmp3lame" [06:30] does anyone know what the proper method is to remove the proprietary nvidia package from ubuntu is? [06:30] Mobile Intel® 940GML/943GML Express chipset with integrated 3D graphics, featuring Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 and up to 224 MB of shared system memory, supporting Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 [06:30] Sokal-EC: Under the Appearence menu [06:30] citizen42alpha: I guess I'll keep Googling this? Lol. I just kind of stumbled across this nice little trick and it turned out to be really useful. My friend and I are starting a business and that would be immensely helpful to not have to email everything when we're both connected to the same network. I'd like not to connect with firewire or something, but for now I may. Thanks for trying though? [06:30] D3javu: open firefox and see if it happens the same [06:30] Gumby, go in hardware drivers under administration [06:30] * Sokal-EC uses Kubuntu [06:30] how to know if in fullscreen mode? [06:31] Goth: No, doesnt happen on firefox. [06:31] D3javu: It'll be taking up your entire screen [06:31] heh. Featuring intel graphics media accelerator! [06:31] xtknight: we're talking the priprietary drivers, not ubuntu packaged ones [06:31] Ferrous: Odd, intel usually works pretty well out of the box [06:31] Gumby, sudo sh nvidia.bin --uninstall [06:31] i believe [06:31] xtknight: cool thanks [06:31] that didnt work ?? [06:31] D3javu: hmm then probably it's not a compiz problem [06:31] Arod22: What did it do? [06:31] Gumby, proprietary does not necessarily mean non-ubuntu-packaged [06:31] ubuntu packages proprietary drivers [06:31] xtknight: yes, correct [06:31] Arod22: Then try this "dpkg -L lame | grep libmp3" [06:31] also called restricted [06:31] dmsuperman: yeap, taking entire screen. i'm using 800x600. no i'm not using compiz, fresh installation 8.10. [06:32] what is the command to update the menu? [06:32] dmsuperman, it did. I somehow screwed it up. heh [06:32] D3javu: Hrm, I was going to suggest that it was using fullscreen compiz but if you're not using that... [06:32] Sokal-EC, there isn't really one sometimes u just have to logout [06:32] D3javu: Send us a screenshot? [06:32] can anyone give me a census on what java to install for 8.10x64 ? Since from reading at least, the sun java doesnt work for browsing? [06:32] i hit enter and it does nothing just returns to the command line [06:33] Question for anyone with a netbook. I am running a EEEPC and running a dual boot of Ubuntu 8.10 and XP. 8.10 Runs fine but runs a little slow for me. I figured I would try eeebuntu before I just reinstall with xfce. But eeebuntu just goes straight to a command prompt but not logged in as a user. How can I tell Ubuntu to copy an ISO to usb? (Newish to linux) [06:33] dmsuperman: ubuntu 8.10 uses compiz by default? [06:33] Arod22: Both of the commands? [06:33] yes [06:33] On an Aspire One** [06:33] my cam is working with v4l2 driver, I can;t get it to work with softwares that use v4l driver [06:33] D3javu: Yes, I'm pretty sure it's disabled if you don't have compositing enabled though [06:33] Hi.....has anyone had any experience with sound problems after resuming from suspend? [06:33] Cr: system->admin->create a usb startup disk u mean? [06:33] any ideas how can I make my cam with with those softwares [06:33] ? [06:33] mac2612: A lot of people, but I'm not sure the solution [06:33] OK, Amarok is a bust. Fails right out of the box with cryptic error messages. [06:33] dmsuperman: let me check. [06:34] Er [06:34] mac2612-> try sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart [06:34] Any other (preferably GNOME) jukeboxes available or am I going to have to keep putting up with the never-improving Rhythmbox? [06:34] sigterm, dunno. just try both Sun and IcedTea and use whatever works best [06:34] !theme [06:34] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [06:34] xtknight: Yes, I wanna try the eeebuntu cause I have been told it works really well with the aspire one but the unetbootin program won't load the iso properly to the usb [06:34] ttmrichter_: How about Songbird? [06:34] ttmrichter_: try rythembox [06:34] Sokal-EC: Surely you jest [06:34] my terabyte externam hdd is coming. yay. [06:34] Sokal-EC: He specifically said "not rhythmbox" [06:34] xtknight, ahh alright, tried the Sun one, epic fail so far.. , i'll give the IcedTea shot ,thanks ;) [06:35] D3javu: try this metacity --replace [06:35] -m+l>_> [06:35] xtknight: but when I try to make a usb boot of it in linux it brings me to some kind of odd terminal [06:35] sigterm, Sun is the authority on java but ironically sometimes even their implementation fails [06:35] Is there something liek dd_rescue I can use for a single file? [06:35] Cr, busybox probably/ === patrick is now known as Guest61475 [06:35] xtknight: yup busybox [06:35] Cr, i dunno really all i can suggest is that menu item for creatig a usb startup disk. i know nothing beyond that. sorry [06:35] jimmygoon: Not usually, you have to scan the whole drive, then copy all the old files out, then find the one you wanted [06:35] jimmygoon: It'll take hours [06:35] i dont know what your trying to do but only thing that played my mp3 no configuration needed was rythembox [06:35] jimmygoon: Best off running it before bed [06:35] so i like it [06:35] dmsuperman, at this rate it is going to take many many many many days [06:36] how do I supply default locale= for ntfs-3g? [06:36] Sokal-EC: He said he didn't want rhytmbox [06:36] jimmygoon: You're telling me. Once, somehow, I destroyed my MFT 3 times in a row in the same week [06:36] Songbird doesn't seem to be in the repository. [06:36] amarok [06:36] xtknight: is there a way to tell busy box to install the usb boot? I haven't used linux in 8 years (last time was slackware so I kinda rusty) [06:36] jimmygoon: I didn't do _anything_ but restore my hard drive all week :P [06:36] amarok is worse though [06:36] ttmrichter_: You'll have to download it [06:36] !songbird [06:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about songbird [06:36] Ah. [06:36] I'm having trouble with hdparm. Can anyone make sense up this pastebin? http://pastebin.com/m1a18a0a8 [06:36] Cr, busybox is there because there's a problem. busybox is "all it can give you"....so it falls back on it [06:36] dmsuperman, as in like 320 gig divided by 20kB divided by seconds and then hours and then days... [06:36] Cr, and busybox is very limited [06:37] no clue...sorry [06:37] !songbird is Songbird is a media management application, developed by Mozilla. http://getsongbird.com/ [06:37] gufw firewall any good [06:37] arghh2d2: try using sudo hdparm... ? [06:37] jimmygoon: I had 500GB :P [06:37] by mozilla? really? [06:37] how can I fix my mountpoints. There is a partition that is showing up twice under computer:/// [06:37] xtknight: Pretty sure [06:37] with mozilla : [06:37] :) [06:38] xtknight: Yeah [06:38] please visiit this link, aS this is my query http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/7809/ideprimaryslavevirtualam7.jpg [06:38] xtknight: It feels a _lot_ like firefox too [06:38] Gumby, same results [06:38] xtknight: ok. I have heard of a way via called isotostick.sh. Have you ever heard of this? [06:38] Cr, nope is there a guide url where you see that file? [06:38] molly: Just ignore it, usually [06:38] molly: computer:/// is never accurate for me [06:38] molly: I'm always missing mountpoints in there [06:38] dmsuperman, is there anything i can do to... reset everything to default settings? I'd like to do anything aside from replacing wifi drivers and or formatting/reinstalling [06:38] dmsuperman, the bad thing is... the laptop needs to go back to the tech too [06:38] : P [06:38] molly: I just go to /media in nautilus to see my mountpoints [06:38] it took me a while to get where i am [06:38] xtknight: Googled eeebuntu usb. But can't find instructions on how to get the file just the command of sudo sh ./isotostick.sh ./[ISO FILE].iso /dev/sdb [06:38] and I don't have this long to wait... I really just want a few files :O ugh [06:39] blackpearl, so your question? [06:39] Ferrous: Not really sure, I haven't ever dealt with Intel video [06:39] xtknight: How can he circle things in a picture [06:39] xtknight: :P [06:39] Cr, oh so you need the file isotostick.sh [06:39] it worked fine initially, i figure there's a way to make it the way it was? [06:39] hah [06:39] though reinstallation doesn't seem to work? haha. [06:39] I'm having trouble with hdparm. Can anyone make sense up this pastebin? http://pastebin.com/m1a18a0a8 I'm just trying to enable DMA on my dvd player and i'm not even sure if I'm using the right /dev/* [06:39] xtknight : did you check the link ? question is there itsefl [06:39] Ferrous: The magic of linux [06:39] Ferrous: For the first 2 months I reinstalled numerous times [06:40] Ferrous: Eventually I got the hang of how to fix it [06:40] blackpearl, my bad. your guest OS is linux? [06:40] xtknight: I am going to lean towards yes. [06:40] oh my. [06:40] Ferrous: I also learned to make many many backups of files before I made any changes [06:40] dmsuperman: ah ok. Well /media has duplicates too. Where do I redefine the mountpoints? [06:40] Ferrous: And now I make full system backups [06:40] molly: Edit /etc/fstab [06:40] !fstab | molly [06:40] molly: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [06:40] blackpearl, im not really understanding.. i mean it's ext2 now that should be fine with ubuntu [06:40] xtknight : Yes guest is ubutu And host iis WinXp [06:41] Cr, http://startx.ro/sugar/ [06:41] General question: I am on an Aspire one but not a SSD drive model. Is it better to run ext2 or ext3? [06:41] xtknight: Thank you so much. [06:41] Cr, all i really did was punch it into gooogle [06:41] !ext3 | Cr [06:41] Cr: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [06:41] Cr: Basically, all you gain with Ext3 is journalling [06:41] dmsuperman: I'll check out the link, but there are mountpoints in /media that aren't in the fstab [06:41] ya no real diff for ext2/ext3 i dont think SSD has anything to do w/ what to choose [06:41] molly: Are you sure they're mounted? [06:42] molly: "df" to check mountpoints everwhere [06:42] xtknight: Well [06:42] xtknight: If it's SSD, you want fewer writes [06:42] dmsuperman: Thank you [06:42] xtknight: So Ext2 [06:42] ubottu: Thank you [06:42] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [06:42] xtknight : when i start Ubuntu in Vbox it says i do not have permission to wrte to this parttion (IDE primary slave virtual) [06:42] dmsuperman, ya true [06:42] Cr: If you decide SSD, Ext2 is usually the better choice to keep writes low [06:42] Cr: My n800 runs on SD cards, so I use ext2 [06:42] xtknight: The funny thing is I punched it in google and got like no results... [06:42] dmsuperman: they aren't mounted but they are visible in /mount [06:42] dmsuperman: I run the 120GB SATA model [06:42] Cr, ya the 2nd one looks like an ftp and those usually have the goodies.... u can recognize them [06:43] molly: What are some examples? [06:43] dmsuperman: for the futre, there is a script at /var/lib/dpkg/info/package_name.postrm that I added 'exit 0' to the very top of and was able to force it to remove from dpkg [06:43] blackpearl, huh that's odd. how did you get it to be ext2 in the first place? [06:43] Awsoonn: Heh, alright [06:43] blackpearl, create a new vbox, boot from ubuntu cd, and use the default ubuntu installation [06:43] Awsoonn: I'd remove that exit now that you got itfixed [06:43] Anybody know a channel where you can actually get answers to questions? like what the h3ll is an inappropriat ioctl? [06:43] xtknight: Thank you. I am going to try this and see if I can get eeebuntu to install and I will rejoin if it works hopefully :) [06:43] !patience | arghh2d2 [06:43] arghh2d2: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [06:43] Awsoonn, you could also edit dpkg status file to remove the package [06:43] !ohmy | arghh2d2 [06:43] arghh2d2: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:44] dmsuperman: These are in /media : OS-2 OS-2-1 OS-2-2 . I have a partition called OS-2. [06:44] dmsuperman: well, after removeing the package the script is deleted, so no need :) [06:44] molly: If nothing is mounted to OS-2-2 you could just "sudo rmdir /media/OS-2-2" [06:44] Awsoonn: Ah [06:44] Awsoonn, /var/lib/dpkg/status remove the Package: block for the one you want to get rid of.. [06:44] does anyone know of any webcam software? [06:44] arghh2d2-> do you know anything about c programs? [06:44] xtknight : this is my IDE PRIMARY SLAVE in Ubuntu ...shall i post image of my IDE PRIMARY MASTER , may be then you are able to understand [06:44] well dmsuperman, its not like im standing in line [06:44] !patience | arghh2d2 [06:44] arghh2d2: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [06:44] i dunno tho maybe editing the control and adding exit 0 is more reliable and cleans up more [06:45] blackpearl, yeah i basically have no idea what's going on so that woud help [06:45] arghh2d2: You haven't even asked a question that I've seen in the past 15 minutes [06:45] dmsuperman: but any commands in teh script will of course not be executed, sooooo there might be files, proccess left open that you'll have to be carefull of of course, but in my case it didn't matter, it was just to remove some modules that weren't installed to begin with [06:45] hey, is there a way to remap caps lock to control? it's soooo easy to do on a mac, and i can't even find a CLI command to do it [06:45] n8tuser, nah, just trying to enable dma on a dvd drive [06:45] arghh2d2: So coming in here with an attitude is not the way to get help [06:45] can someone tell me where can i get bmp or xmms or know what the other media player like that is called???? [06:45] Awsoonn: Ah, makes sense [06:45] sere: audacious, rhythmbox, totem.... [06:45] thanks, dmsuperman [06:45] get them from synaptic [06:45] miaww [06:45] sere: You could try exaile, or songbird [06:45] amarok, banshee [06:45] is there something like wine [06:45] dmsuperman, when your right your right i guess. my bad channell [06:45] jtaby, checked keyboard settings ?? [06:45] brandan: Wine, crossover, cedega [06:46] arghh2d2-> well, if you had, ioctl is i/o control, so for your dma, its controlling the i/o [06:46] xtknight: yup [06:46] k [06:46] arghh2d2: :) === sundowner is now known as dougsko [06:46] jtaby, maybe google xmodmap [06:46] dmsuperman: Thanks, that eliminated them from /media . I still have two "OS-2"s in computer:/// though [06:46] brandan: I'm pretty sure both the others aren't free though [06:46] molly: Like I said, that's never accurate for me. I've never bothered looking into how to update it [06:46] n8tuser, can you tell me how that applies to my dvd and what i can do to fix it? [06:46] molly: So I wouldn't know how to tell you how to update it [06:46] dmsuperman: ok, thanks for yout help [06:47] arghh2d2: A specific error might be more helpful [06:47] dmsuperman, molly the labels for the mount points can be set by using a drive label [06:47] molly: No problem :) [06:47] arghh2d2-> what exactly are you doing and what commands you typed?

[06:49] ty [06:49] n8tuser, then maybe i'm not using the right /dev/* [06:49] ? === CokLUT is now known as coklat [06:50] arghh2d2: that's very likely [06:50] arghh2d2-> maybe you are not using the correct command [06:50] arghh2d2: Or the drive is damaged [06:50] jtaby, ya. install compizconfig-settings-manager first [06:50] mintsoup: Well I might have a fix anyhow. One sec. My netbook does the same thing but a fix made it turned on when it needs to be one. One sec I will link [06:50] jtaby, then you're going to install "emerald" package, and then run ccsm and go into the "Window Decoration" settings and set the Command to "/usr/bin/emerald --replace" [06:50] dmsuperman, n8tuser, what other /dev/* should I be using, what should i try? [06:51] xtknight : how to mount it as read-write under root partition ? [06:51] arghh2d2-> again what was the command you used? [06:51] arghh2d2: Whichever is appropriate for your drive [06:51] arghh2d2: Try "sudo fdisk -l" to list your partitions [06:51] n8tuser, hdparm -v [06:51] blackpearl, sudo mkdir /mnt/hdb1 && sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 && sudo touch /mnt/hdb1/myfile [06:51] blackpearl, is /mnt/hdb1/myfile created [06:51] how do I tell how much diskspace I have left [06:51] brandan, df -h [06:52] mintsoup: I don't know if this will help you but this is how I fixed my problem http://www.netbooktech.com/2008/09/17/fix-the-acer-aspire-one-noisy-fan-for-both-windows-and-linux/ [06:52] arghh2d2-> try it with sudo hdparm -v [06:52] mintsoup: I know you don't have an aspire one but the fan control is what I mean. Maybe there is a general fan control for your model [06:52] Thanks Cr, i'll take a look === jason_ is now known as DBO [06:52] n8tuser, i've tried that, same results [06:53] mintsoup: There was an article on the forums. I will link if I can find it for you :) [06:53] buona domenica a tutti [06:53] arghh2d2: Try my suggestion, make sure your /dev is right [06:53] ever since we moved to libata, we cant set dma properly with cdrom drives i tihnk. maybe it can be enabled at the cdrom driver level [06:53] dmsuperman, sudo fdisk -l only lists my harddrive .. ? [06:53] iam not able to login as root in mysql. iam using ubuntu 8.04 64 bit server edition. [06:53] arghh2d2: Yeah, is that what you're looking for? [06:53] xtknight: then enable desktop effects? (after changing the window decorations command) [06:53] brandan, go to system -> administration -> system monitor and click on the "file systems" tab [06:53] er i mean ide controller level [06:53] xtknight : {blackpearl, is /mnt/hdb1/myfile created} i dont know [06:53] jtaby, yea or logout or something [06:53] dmsuperman, no, i'm going for dma on a dvd [06:53] does anyone know why monodevelop is not showing up in my synaptic package manager? [06:53] blackpearl, so type /mnt/hdb1/myfile [06:54] it's a fresh install of the latest ubuntu [06:54] what's it say [06:54] arghh2d2: Are you sure it's /dev/cdrom1 and not /dev/cdrom0 or /dev/cdrom ?

Thx for the reply dmsuperman. :) [06:59] i'll try that Goth [06:59] i'm unsure why it has to be drivers that are doing it [06:59] r0ach: Supergrub is a .iso file, you burn to cd, then you can boot into it and it'll help you install grub [06:59] xtknight, well I already have monodevelop installed, so apt-get tells me I already have the latest version. But package manager doesn't show it [06:59] slim, kinda weird [06:59] Ferrous: Because life never works the way we want it to :P [06:59] nor does it show x-chat [07:00] dmsuperman: yes iam sure iam connected to the server and iam typing the right password [07:00] arghh2d2-> okay thats for your hardrive, now you do the same for your cdrom drive [07:00] what is the bar with the exit button on it called? is there something better to call it than a toolbar?

[07:02] dmsuperman just let me know wat might have goine wrong? [07:03] anyone?

[07:04] Bye all [07:04] n8tuser, both those suggestion result in - ls: cannot access /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory [07:04] dmsuperman, slacker [07:04] dumb question: i'm compiling wine & its dependencies(i think) over ssh and it's taking forever. if i turn off this computer will it mess up? [07:04] xtknight: I needs food [07:04] dmsuperman: ok understood [07:04] Goth ok, its just been trouble figuring out what it is [07:05] arghh2d2: that's weird...try this [07:05] arghh2d2: ls /dev/d* && ls /dev/cd* [07:05] arghh2d2-> dmesg |grep cd and lets see what it shows .. sr0 or sr1 ? [07:05] bruenig: wtf [07:06] xtknight, I think something is wrong with the "quick search"... i can find it manually, but not in search... no matter what group i have selected on the left [07:06] gpryatel-> yes, it will stop what you were doing at remote end [07:06] xtknight : Now please see this link http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/7994/diskfilebrowserzz1.jpg [07:06] slim, ya my quick search never worked worth a darn either [07:06] slim, but now all of a sudden it is [07:06] blackpearl, ok try my cmds [07:06] xtknight, interesting. hmm. i haven't encountered this problem before.

[07:18] .................. [07:18] eashmore: have you tried the self-check option on the cd? [07:18] arghh2d2-> perhaps you can not do what you wish on a scsi device..or rather device is not allowing you [07:18] I really love echo, echo is awesome, you type echo then something after it, and then it displays that [07:18] surgy, or maybe "sudo lshw" and look for your camera in there..it may also say [07:18] echo is awesome [07:19] Ferrenrock: then i get all my good old virus buddies back?! [07:19] n8tuser, i thought it was an ide drive, at least thats what i ordered...could i have installed an ide drive on a scsi motherboard??!! [07:19] fogobogo: have you seen this echo? [07:19] don't mess with chown [07:19] fogobogo: then you get a cool ape that juggles stuff [07:19] or all chown you [07:19] the chown is on! [07:19] Gnea: How do I do that?

[07:19] hah, ubuntu got chowned [07:19] eashmore: iirc, it's an option on the livecd when you first boot it up [07:19] chownTown: you are excellent at the chown [07:20] chownClown? [07:20] chownTown: do you think chown is better than echo? [07:20] n8tuser, thats what i thought, so its nothing to do with scsi, is it just a crappy drive or what? [07:20] i r excellent! i r baboon! [07:20] exactly chow to you chown something? [07:20] arghh2d2-> yeah seem like it, a scrappy drive [07:20] arghh2d2: more people had your problem and kinda solved it. read the last 2 posts http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=501211 [07:20] n8tuser: what is chown [07:20] xtknight: not obvious at all [07:20] xtknight : still not getting it...see this link http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/5338/terminalcp9.jpg [07:20] Gnea: I'll give that a try.

[07:21] xtknight: http://pastebin.com/m4f855f5 [07:21] arghh2d2: no problem [07:21] blackpearl: it is hard to help with your username pixeled out [07:21] eashmore: well, what happened before when you hit the I/O error? The reason I ask is because this is probably the 10th time today that someone in here has had the same problem [07:21] xtknight: and sudo lshw list everything but not the camera [07:21] surgy, nope i dont think it's mounted that's the problem [07:21] is it possible to get gamespy to work because it uses IE (wine) [07:21] xtknight: how do i mount it? [07:21] eashmore: and by that, I mean did the install just stop altogether? did the system lockup? [07:21] The file /sys/power/state includes a line "mem disk". What does that mean? [07:22] chown is KING [07:22] xtknight: and then set it to automount everytime? [07:22] benlee1: ask chownTown [07:22] surgy, really depends... personally i have no experience but i can try to help u anyway [07:22] surgy, is it a dv 1394 camera [07:22] mgroman: Thanks! [07:22] hey I'm trying to get ubuntu onto a macbook, I've installed it successfully but right now I'm not able to get the trackpad to work -- I've tried adding a fdi policy file w/o any success [07:22] xtknight: no clue has no markings on the camera at all [07:22] bruenig : my username has nothing to do with my question [07:22] blackpearl, okay so it looks like that worked [07:22] Gnea: The install just froze. Got about halfway through each time I attempted. (Nota Bene: I successfully booted up in Live CD mode.) [07:22] blackpearl: i need to know it please [07:22] yarr! [07:22] chownTown: Hi, do you have some minutes? I met a problem in gvim character displaying. Thank you in advance! [07:23] blackpearl, umm intrepid should be asking when you mount it for root permissions [07:23] gvim? [07:23] blackpearl, other than that, i have no idea why it's not working [07:23] eashmore: okay. do you have the ability to burn your own disks? [07:23] root permission BTW is sudo su [07:23] chownTown: sudo -i is preferable. [07:23] blackpearl: if you could tell me what your username is i could help you better plz [07:23] surgy, do you have any information on the camera? [07:24] none other than that listed in my terminal [07:24] chownTown: The bottom part of characters can't been displayed. some characters like _ (underscore), can't be displayed at all. [07:24] and its usb...

[07:25] chownTown: I guess maybe it's something related to font setting. It was normal when I use english environment, recently, I need to input chinese, so I added LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8" in my /etc/environment. [07:25] blackpearl: is your username ashish? [07:25] chownTown: Then gvim display characters wrong. [07:25] here is a challenge. [07:25] bruenig, mgroman: why do you need to know his username? [07:25] I am wondering about Bitorrenting and security ... how can I hide my IP address? [07:25] sorry benleel, dunno much about gvim [07:26] first time I heard of it was from you a minute ago [07:26] chownTown: It's OK, thank you all the same! [07:26] Gnea: ? [07:26] I know something about vim though... [07:26] i am wondering how i can play enemy territory on my r60 in intrepid? now i can play it in other o/s's with no issues. but i have a problem with the gl graphics in ubuntu. does anyone have a solution? [07:26] mgroman: 01:23 < mgroman> blackpearl: if you could tell me what your username is i could help you better plz <-- what's up with that? are you trying to be helpful or trolling? [07:26] bruenig : damn , u r right. [07:27] xorlim: great! [07:27] Gnea: Okay. I'll try those two things and see what happens. It's late so if I run into anymore problems I'll check back tomorrow for more advice. Thank you very much for you help. [07:27] benlee1: so what is your problem with vim? [07:27] Gnea : gr8 u r back :) [07:27] eashmore: good luck :) [07:27] blackpearl: I am a good guesser [07:27] !ohmy | blackpearl [07:27] blackpearl: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:27] blackpearl: how goes it? :) [07:27] do you guys think i should install the fglrx ATI drivers? [07:27] jtaby, for compiz ya u have to [07:27] i don't get window borders [07:27] i think? [07:28] oh...that explains it [07:28] is there a program that hides my IP address ? [07:28] zetheroo, nope [07:28] xorlim: When I was in pure English environment, everything are oK. Recently, I add LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8" into my /etc/environment, so that I can input Chinese. Then this problem accur. [07:28] xtknight: I think there is ... what about Tor? [07:28] benlee1: hmm... [07:28] blackpearl: I see your ss - can you bring up the permissions of the target directory in a terminal? [07:29] is anyone playing enemy territory on a laptop? [07:29] zetheroo [07:29] yes [07:29] blah this sucks. [07:29] zetheroo, only for the world wide web i think. not for irc,games,whatever else [07:29] also [07:29] has anyone had issues with Ubuntu Intrepid no longer seing Samba shares and Windows Shared drives [07:29] amigamia: ya [07:29] if you want to change your mac [07:29] ?"? [07:29] xorlim: bottom part of characters can't be displayed. seems like to been overlayed with the next line. [07:29] ubottu : my apologies [07:29] zetheroo, and ur ip is never hidden from everyone. but u can check out VPN like hamachi [07:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about my apologies [07:29] use macchanger [07:29] mgroman: perhaps I misread what you typed. [07:29] amigamia: i reformatted a macbook with kubuntu 7.04 and i can run enemy territory just fine [07:29] nsomniac i had it where it had to rediscover them [07:29] Gnea : How to do it ?? blackpearl: I see your ss - can you bring up the permissions of the target directory in a terminal? [07:29] mgroman why did you do that? you can run enemy territory on your macbook in native osx mode! i do :D [07:29] xtknight: what about while torrenting? [07:29] amigamia: It's not even doing that having no luck at all [07:30] xorlim: _ (underscore) cannot be displayed at all. [07:30] you might try elive mac version mgroman [07:30] Is it possible to get .NET to work with ubuntu wine ?? [07:30] http://elivecd.com [07:30] amigamia: oh? [07:30] brandan: just use mono.net [07:30] zetheroo, nope dont think so [07:30] brandan: and please refrain from such questions [07:30] blackpearl: click on Applications->Accessories->Terminal, ls -ld /path/to/your/dir then hit 'print screen' [07:30] brandan: use Mono [07:30] yeahh what mgroman said [07:31] zetheroo, maybe vpn or a SOCKS proxy i dunno if torrent clients support SOCKS [07:31] neomniac i am moving back to hardy because i have issues with other products that dont work properly with intrepid and i need results like yesterday. [07:31] amigamia: o me too brother [07:31] wtf? i can't type "f" in terminal.... [07:31] zetheroo, either way, they would go at about 4kb/sec if ur lucky [07:31] i have intrepid on a server but it isnt going to work out. [07:31] the computer just beeps [07:31] jtaby: you cant type " " ? [07:31] amigamia: yeahhh I am thinking about doing the same thing [07:31] jtaby: that makes no sense [07:31] xtknight: I just read how when someone downloads a torrent their IP address is advertised on torrent trackers for the world to see [07:31] i have it on a thinkpad to mess about with it but i have to go back to hardy cause of incompatabilities [07:31] f [07:32] zetheroo, yup. it has to be for bittorrent to work [07:32] mgroman: he says "f" [07:32] brandan: have you tried installing it with wine? [07:32] i can't type it here, so it's not a keyboard issue... [07:32] xorlim: o [07:32] jtaby: someone in #archlinux had a similar problem, you might want to ask in there [07:32] zetheroo, what are you afraid of though? [07:32] Super Friendly Website builder? [07:32] zetheroo, every website you visit also has your ip [07:32] The file /sys/power/state includes a line "mem disk". What does that mean? [07:32] i think an issue that has to be addressed with these linux distros is that they have to slow down just a tiny weeny bit to allow the devs of products to catch up. because they rae moving to fast and the supporting apps are not in the same race. [07:32] xtknight: well it would stand to reason that I could fake my IP [07:33] zetheroo, and i've got your ip [07:33] what's the big deal? [07:33] is there any one who is good in ubuntu to solve my problem only reply to me if u r good in ubuntu [07:33] xtknight: yes and that is what I want to change [07:33] :) [07:33] !ask | krish_ [07:33] krish_: 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. :-) [07:33] really just post your question for heavens sakes. [07:34] zetheroo, if you are worried about being hacked you probably need not be. linux is quite secure [07:34] hi === walmart is now known as AbortD [07:34] hallo [07:34] hola [07:34] chao [07:34] zetheroo, but to answer your question you would have to employ a lot of slow proxy systems to hide your ip from everyone [07:34] ciao [07:34] bonjour [07:34] amigamia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:34] ;D [07:34] xtknight: why is it secure? [07:34] can anyone help me set up my touchpad, I've followed the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook#touchpadtweaks w/o luck [07:34] xtknight: no I am worried about someone getting my IP address from me torrenting somehting [07:34] pwned [07:34] gnea i have pasted the error over here please check it http://paste.ubuntu.com/75870/ [07:34] lmao [07:34] by a bot, no less [07:34] zetheroo: what can they do with your ip? [07:34] tenX: it doesn't nudge users into using programs like IE or Outlook by defualt [07:35] zetheroo: is it really a problem? [07:35] krish_: your password is incorrect. [07:35] zetheroo, if you're doing nothing illegal don't worry about it [07:35] fannie123: w/o luck meaning what? [07:35] ziroday no iam typing the correct passwrd [07:35] fannie123: what actually happened? [07:35] Gnea : here you go http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/5265/terminal1pn2.jpg [07:35] i am not able to play this stream as an embedded stream neither with vlc-plugin, mplayerplug-in nor totem-plugin: http://stream.giganet.hu/nytv/Nyílt-tér/NYÍLT_TÉR_2008-11-18.wmv [07:35] god morning [07:35] ziroday iam using the same password for my wordpress blog and mediawiki they are all working fine [07:35] krish_: well according to mysql you are not. That means that you might have entered the wrong password on install [07:35] when i wget this link, it returns the same links as ref [07:35] krish_: are you sure you're using the right password? [07:35] like an infinite loop [07:36] krish_: would you like me to get you a document on how to reset your mysql password? [07:36] Ryan52: one of the biggest ISP's here in Australia is being sued ... and will probably loose the case ... with the movie industry sueing it for the users torrenting TV series or anything else really [07:36] xtknight [07:36] xtknight ^^^ [07:36] any idea? [07:36] zetheroo: so...ummm...don't break the law? :) [07:36] gnea iam using the same password for mediawiki and wordpress blog, and iam now using the same password for joomla it is showing an error. I dont want to reset the passwd as it will effect my mediawiki and wordpress [07:37] zetheroo : i think you are in worng channel . [07:37] blackpearl: then yes, you don't have permission to write to the device, only root does. [07:37] zetheroo, hey we all have our views on what's right and wrong. altho unfortunately that is copyright violation [07:37] Using Gnome, is there a way to open a new application to the same window size each time? ie. gedit to open to 100x100 instead of 80x80? [07:37] krish_: so you have both mediawiki and wordpress setup to use the root account of your mysql database? [07:37] im sure a couple others here are guilty of it dare we mention any names olol [07:38] MHz256: what app? [07:38] Gnea : how can i thus write? i mean plz tell me how to write in media ? [07:38] MHz256: that's on a per app thing. it set's it's size. it gets to decide. [07:38] Ryan52, im using leafpad, but any app would be nice [07:38] krish_: tried with sudo? [07:38] xtknight: at first the whole microsoft software development has changed, security is a big issue and programs like the IE and Outlook have truly evolved. At second, nowadays security issues and attack vectors mainly aim at browser plugins like flash, which is "in a way" system independant.. [07:38] ziroday yes i have done so. both wordpress and mediawiki are using the root [07:38] blackpearl: how did it mount in the first place? automatically? [07:38] tenX not really saying windows is insecure either i just said linux was secure. i think an xp sp2 install is not bad as long as you avoid IE [07:39] so HD --into----> fridge or not? [07:39] I got a USB bluetooth dongle and bluetooth mouse. I have the dongle plugged in and it shows up in the output of lsusb. However, when I try to use "Setup new device" from the bt applet, no devices are available to select. I have the mouse on and in discovery mode. [07:39] gnea the same error is repeating even if i use sudo [07:39] xtknight: well I am not with the ISP ... but it just made me think ... since these guys from the movie industry had volumes of users information and their IP addresses ... that I might want to get better security ... and as a Linux user I am very anti all this BS rights infringment stuff .... it all needs a major overhaul imo [07:39] Ryan52, ah! Why do they sometimes open in different locations on the screen? can the sizing be changed? [07:39] !offtopic | zetheroo [07:39] zetheroo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:39] zetheroo, you can change your IP but your isp can still know so it doens't do any good [07:39] jimmygoon: what did I miss? :) [07:39] krish_: so you've been able to use this for awhile then? and it just started doing this recently? [07:40] xtknight: well I am getting more help on the linux IRC anyhow .. so thanks .. [07:40] tenX, but ya the browser plugins are a problem [07:40] MHz256: you gotta look at leafpad's docs. that's it's business. [07:40] !search uck [07:40] Found: scoobysnack-#ubuntuforums, support-#ubuntuforums-beginners, ツ-#ubuntu-offtopic, pici, uck, remaster [07:40] !msgthebot > KatieKitty [07:40] KatieKitty, please see my private message [07:40] Ryan52, 10 4 thanks man [07:40] where can I get ps3 ubuntu help? [07:40] zetheroo, in short there's few ways to trick your isp... but anyway i dont think they will go suing mostly-innocent people [07:40] gnea even now mediawiki and wordpress are working fine. i installed mysql on my server just yesterday and configured media =wiki and wordpress, they work fine till now but the problem has started just now [07:40] !info glibc [07:40] Package glibc does not exist in intrepid [07:41] Ps3 lol [07:41] ziroday: after one use? [07:41] tallyn: here, probably, just ask. [07:41] when i `vim` into a file, i can type f and b just fine, but when i'm on the command line, i can't type f and b [07:41] Gnea: hmm? [07:41] trying to get help patching bluetooth stack, please [07:41] jtaby: what happens when you try? [07:41] jtaby, odd. maybe some key is stuck. try typing "setxkbmap" and try again [07:41] krish_: did you setup your .my.cnf for root? [07:41] Ryan52, hard drive died-ish. dd_rescue has saved my important files (porn of course) and now I'm recovering some other stuff and it is slowing down... thinking of storing it in the fridge in case I think of anything I need [07:41] xtknight: your probably right ... I am just a stickler for privacy and I don't like the thought of anyone sticking their nose into my life ... and that includes my computing life ... :) [07:41] gnea no [07:41] ziroday: nm [07:41] jtaby, prolly ctrl,alt,shift is stuck and it doesnt affect vim or something [07:42] xtknight: but it works everywhere else [07:42] jimmygoon: that seems weeeeeird. but, hey, if you think it'll work :) [07:42] krish_: why not do that, then you can just sudo -i and call it without argument? [07:42] i can do shift-f to type an F [07:42] zetheroo, if you want privacy look into relakks === MHz256 is now known as MHz128 [07:42] zetheroo, yeah for the most part im all for security over privacy and favor glasnost (openness). except in the bathroom haha.. we'll take that to offtopic :p [07:42] Ryan, the computer beeps [07:42] Ryan52, It just ones of those things I've heard. Dunna if it helps at all [07:42] gnea pls tell me how should i do that === nxxs_ is now known as nxxs [07:43] jimmygoon: is that a program? [07:43] xtknight: at this point i'd like to emphasize that i almost only run *nix-like systems and have to work with ms OSs a lot while not liking it, but following the latest security issues over the ongoing year i feel to have read more about linux holes than windows flaws. i dont like that impression and it may be incorrect, but thats what i feel [07:43] Gnea : i added IDE primry slave in vbox and mounted gparted liveCD and then partition primary slave (virtual) to filesysyem : ext2 and then when i started Ubuntu in vbox it was showing me mounted BUT with theise errors http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/7994/diskfilebrowserzz1.jpg [07:43] zetheroo, google. and this is OT [07:43] gnea pls tell me how should i do that [07:43] alright I will try again at another time [07:43] tenX, ya maybe ur right.. i dont know. [07:43] jtaby: does `xmodmap` say anything funny? [07:43] xtknight: your for security over privacy? how does that work? Whats the point of security if its not giving you privacy? [07:43] !patience | krish_ [07:43] krish_: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [07:44] zetheroo, i dont have issues with airline checks in other words. i would rather someone not bring a gun on board [07:44] #ubuntu-offtopic [07:44] gnea ok i will wait [07:44] blackpearl: chown it. [07:44] blackpearl: or run as root. === brandan is now known as Away [07:44] * Away is away: Gone away for now [07:44] Ryan52 : how to run as root ? [07:44] Ryan52: http://rafb.net/p/28a52v62.html [07:44] blackpearl: "sudo blah" [07:45] is there anyway i can increase internet speed in ubuntu...i find slower than windows...mostly the download speed [07:45] Away: no public away messages, please. [07:45] blackpearl: so the problem is occuring within virtualbox? [07:45] Ryan52 : sudo blah ??? [07:45] tenX, unix seems to have so many more libraries and it's hard to tell . but i know freebsd/openbsd are really really secure at laest [07:45] tenX, i dunno anymore about some linux distros [07:45] xtknight: well airline checks ... that is very vague ... I am fine with a basic metal detector .... but not with a bloody eye scan and finger print .... that is no longer security and is a breach of my privacy .... [07:45] xtknight: nothing is _really_ secure [07:45] blackpearl: "sudo command-name". so, for nautilus (the file browser), do "sudo nautilus" on the command line. === Away is now known as brandan [07:45] * brandan is back. [07:45] Ryan52: do changes to xmodmap persist after a restart? [07:46] blackpearl: then you can change the owner from there to yourself and get access. [07:46] tenX, "Only two remote holes in the default install, in more than 10 years!" [07:46] brandan: please refrain from doing that. [07:46] not too bad for openbsd [07:46] sorry [07:46] Gnea : no, vbox is working fine, its just that i added Primary slave to Ubuntu and now i am not able to write to it [07:46] jtaby: that all looks right. [07:46] My client auto does it [07:46] xtknight: what is the off-topic IRC anyhow? .... [07:46] ill turn it off [07:46] brandan: please do. [07:46] is there a program that can take a text file and encyrpt it so it will look like regular words to be sent in an email? [07:46] zetheroo, go to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:46] xtknight: i like openBSD and its philosophy [07:46] blackpearl: did you add an entry to /etc/fstab? [07:46] anyone know what happenend to ##freebsd? [07:46] Ryan52: i was playing around with it, trying to make caps lock a control [07:47] Gnea : i'll just check [07:47] jtaby: how did you change it? [07:47] jtaby: certain ways will stay over reboot, and certain won't. === Guest61475 is now known as patrick [07:47] Guest35047: ask in #freenode [07:47] Ryan52: http://www.manicai.net/comp/swap-caps-ctrl.html [07:47] xtknight: and the projects focus on code review and security. But still there have been 2 holes, and thats remote holes === patrick is now known as Guest96018 [07:47] jtaby: that shows 3 ways. [07:48] jtaby: which did you do? [07:48] Gnea : there is o such dir /etc/fstab ?? [07:48] krish_: is it mysql-server-5.0 that you have installed? [07:48] blackpearl: it's a file, not a dir. [07:48] !fstab | blackpearl [07:48] blackpearl: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [07:48] Ryan52 : plz tell me how to run as root ?? [07:48] Ryan52: the linux way [07:48] blackpearl: open up a terminal. [07:48] jtaby: there are 3 linux ways there. [07:49] sorry, xfree86 version 3.x === trevor is now known as lopin [07:49] blackpearl: and type "sudo nautilus" [07:49] blackpearl: a file browser will open up. [07:49] Ryan52 : ok..wait [07:49] tenX, lol ya [07:49] tenX, well cant be perfect, im just saying that's pretty good [07:49] gnea yes it is mysql-server 5.0 [07:49] jtaby: "rm .xmodmap" and log out and back in. [07:50] I have a problem with X.org. I just went from a command line system, to a fresh install of the xorg metapackage several times. However, every time, the mouse refuses to work. Is there something that I'm not loading properly? [07:50] jtaby: oh, wait. [07:50] jtaby: take out the line you added to .bash_profile too [07:50] xtknight: actually on first glance we were talking about linux [07:50] lopin: what mouse and what connection type? [07:51] krish_: excellent. you can use the zless command in a terminal to read this file: /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.0/README.Debian.gz in it, it explains how to set that up - look for the PASSWORDS section [07:51] ziroday, PS/2 [07:51] tenX, ya [07:51] tenX, i may agree linux is not necessarily more secure than windows. it depends on the apps u run. apache vs.. IIS..hmmm [07:51] ziroday, Other than that, i have no clue. It worked two days ago, and it works in Windows 98... [07:51] lopin: odd, and it works in windows you say? [07:51] anyway, I'm outta here. bye all, sorry I didn't stay long. [07:51] ziroday, Works in DSL, and on Knoppix... Just not in my fresh XORG [07:52] ziroday, Works in windows... [07:52] ziroday, Unfortunately, Windows 98 doesn't support the wireless card I'm using, so I have to use Intrepid... [07:52] xtknight: we will continue in 20 mins [07:52] xtknight: ttyl [07:52] would anyone here be willing to help me get apache2 running correctly on my laptop? [07:53] going to localhost gives me a 403 error [07:53] lopin: okay, you can try take a look at the DSL xorg.conf and check for differences regarding a mouse. Also can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please [07:53] tenX, okay [07:53] firewall problem, devdavad? [07:53] Wargasm, I don't currently have a firewall [07:53] what about in your router, devdavad [07:53] I think it might be local hosts [07:53] GNea: see the result of sudo nautilus http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/1264/terminal2gh2.jpg [07:54] i had to open the port in my router when i was using apache, devdavad [07:54] you wasted life why wouldnt you waste death [07:54] on previous ubuntu installs running through the router hasn't given me any troubles [07:54] ziroday, Intrepid has virtually NO xorg.conf file... [07:54] lopin: yeah I know, can you pastebin it anyway please? [07:54] hmm, i see. not quite sure then, devdavad. sorry [07:54] blackpearl: I didn't say anything about nautilus. [07:54] I'm going off of the help.ubuntu docs for apache2 / lamp [07:54] they might be a little outdated haha [07:55] ziroday, I can try. Like I said, that one's only got a cli, so I might have to retype it... [07:55] hi who can help me rapair gunzip [07:55] Segmentation fault [07:55] lopin: ah, you can use the pastebinit program to help [07:55] :| [07:55] Gnea : Ryan52 said..but he left...can u plz see at your end.. === as444df is now known as crazyice [07:56] blackpearl: sudo nautilus will do you no good. please see the instructions I gave you. [07:57] Gnea try gksudo [07:57] blackpearl: you need to properly edit your fstab file in order for regular users to be able to write to the device. [07:57] lopin: you can use it by doing cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit and it will give you a url [07:57] koshari: won't make a difference, it's like trying to put a bandaid on a dislocated shoulder. [07:58] ziroday, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m286d23bb [07:58] lopin: also does your keyboard word and is it usb or ps/2?

[07:59] lopin: okay, then definitely a xorg issue [07:59] The file /sys/power/state includes a line "mem disk". What does that mean? [07:59] Gnea : where to find /etc/fstab file ?? [08:00] krish_: you run this command: zless /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.0/README.Debian.gz and then you use the down-arrow key to scroll down to the section called PASSWORDS [08:00] krish_: and then, you read it and follow directions. [08:01] blackpearl: do you have a terminal open? [08:01] ziroday, Definitely what I was thinking. I've done everything imaginable. Install from CD, install from net, with and without Window Managers... [08:01] Gnea : yes [08:01] lopin: did this happen in previous version of ubuntu?

I choose to format D2P1 into ext3 and mount as "/". But after that procedure, Ubuntu's installer ask me where should I put Ubuntu's bootloader.

I need to get it back [10:19] lol [10:19] woops [10:19] r0ach: http://www.larsen-b.com/Article/272.html follow what it says in the box from the livecd [10:19] hi guys,i have problem installing wxWidgets....can anyone help ? :( [10:19] fde: I can't install Linux cuz this is my friend's system and he doesn't want Linux to be installed. What a dick ! [10:19] pest, what is ur question [10:20] r0ach→ we don't provide support for windows and mac os x [10:20] r0ach: of course you'll need to customize things like /dev/sda2 depending on where your / is [10:20] fde: Issue solved by using Synaptic Package Manager! :) [10:20] sudo apt-get install wxwidgets [10:20] Gnea : please see this http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/1058/clamtkvirusupdateyr0.jpg how can i update my virus defination OR how can i know i am Root or Not ??? [10:20] fde: Is it possible to install Linux without formatting an entire drive ? [10:20] r0ach: you only need a small linux partition for grub [10:20] whoami [10:20] r0ach: yes [10:21] magnetron: I know, but pls stay with me here. Pls ... :( [10:21] r0ach: you would create a separate partition to do so [10:21] r0ach: yes... please try what I just linked you though if you already have a Linux installed [10:21] blackpearl75:try sudo -s [10:21] blackpearl75: you need to start ClamTK as root - gksudo clamtk or something close to that [10:21] fde: Reading it [10:22] hi everyone [10:22] tj_: See I would do it with my own system. This is my friend's system so I can't tamper his data. Sh*t happened. :( [10:22] tj_: Although I will do it if I run out of choices [10:22] r0ach: the example he gave is another reason you might have lost grub from the MBR... but yeah, his solution would solve yours too [10:22] tj_: please let him do what I said.... [10:23] fde: sorry ill go back to doing what I was doing... messing with these themes that are making me mad [10:23] fde: I'm doing it. I too think makes sense. Thx fde :) [10:24] r0ach: you're welcome... good luck [10:24] r0ach: if that doesn't work (which it should) then you can follow tj_'s advice... [10:24] fde: One simple question.

[10:25] roach, using this sudo fdisk -l [10:25] Schneider: I knew that. Anyway, thx [10:26] r0ach: yup [10:26] so u know which disk has what [10:26] r0ach: what Schneider said would let you know what to substitute it with if you're not sure [10:26] Schneider: I guess so.

Any good pointers on where I can be a n00b on this matter?

[10:35] fde: Anyway, will it detect Windows and Mac ? [10:35] r0ach: they can boot multiple OS's, but lilo is Linux Loader and requires Linux for the config files etc... grub can work with FreeBSD/GNU Hurd/Linux for the config files... none support Windows as partition where the config files are located [10:36] r0ach: we only handle ubuntu-specific issues here. program-specific issues, such as lilo and grub, are best handled in their respective channels, if they are not used by ubuntu.

I'm currently using Conky, but i want something more graphical, i just don't know which application to use [10:39] hy there, i've just updated do Ubuntu 9.04, and i have a problem with one package, that affects every update, the package is, e2fsprogs, and the error is: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/e2fsprogs_1.41.3-1ubuntu1_i386.deb: foi lido um short em buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb durante `./usr/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo') [10:39] awk -f":" '{print $1}' /etc/passwd [10:39] fde: so it's kind of a gray area - his intentions are geared toward installing ubuntu, which justifies enough response to be positive [10:39] ChrisBookwood: take a look at either gdesklets or screenlets ... both are in the repos [10:40] fde: thanks, i will [10:40] r0ach: then you entered the wrong channel. I see lots of people in #grub :) [10:40] Its in irc.freenode.net right ?

[10:41] fde: which are less resource heavy? [10:41] ChrisBookwood: screenlets is probably the better of the two, provided you have decent hardware as it uses the same mechanisms as compiz [10:41] The file /sys/power/state includes a line "mem disk". What does that mean? [10:41] Hi, I have ubuntu 8.10, but I can use bluetooth with him [10:41] Hey, I got to the right GRUB channel. [10:41] why? [10:41] It was some kinda error last time [10:41] r0ach: good :) [10:41] ChrisBookwood: both won't require much resources... but screenlets I believe require decent graphic cards [10:42] fde: i'll give it a shot [10:42] Ayabara: I saw you there :) [10:42] hehe [10:42] can someone help me get my volume buttons working again?

[10:53] fde: I've 2 Gigs of ram. Is that enough ?

[10:54] bitmouse: wiki? [10:54] fde: well, factoids tend to revolve around what's the most pertinant - keeping the # of factoids down means that the bots have less bloat to lag them up with people requesting them all the time [10:54] Does 8.10 use a swap file rather than a swap partition?

[10:57] eix: the bios creates a hidden partition, which even if you disable, windows won't be able to see, so when you install linux, it messes windows up, because linux and windows think the drives are bigger sizes, so somehow I think it messes up the windows FS [10:57] eix: yeah I would love to, I will tomorrow, that way others won't have to spend so much time [10:57] .... no. definitely not [10:57] fde: indeed [10:57] Gnea: everyone in www.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ops can [10:57] bitmouse: indeed! that's an important little piece of information [10:58] Is it possible to change the type of the current partition... as in... the one that / is mounted on without affecting it while it is booted [10:58] r0ach, matter of fact, according to conky, I don't really ever make it past 50% of my total ram usage (2GB installed) === fredrik_ is now known as sanginius [10:58] or without hurting the data currently on it?

[10:58] jimmygoon: yes [10:58] eix: embassed to say it has taken me days literally, to figure out [10:58] I didn't format it... I'm sure it is [10:58] jimmygoon: it's better to do it from a livecd [10:58] jimmygoon: use fdisk and set it to a NTFS hidden partition [10:58] *-* [10:58] jimmygoon: or whatever you need [10:59] bitmouse: I don't doubt it..I have spent days to understand how to install Windows XP in a logical partition.. [10:59] Gnea: uhh, make that http://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc [11:00] eix: lol, yeah sad thing is I have to give up about 2gigs of harddrive space to make the whole thing work [11:00] what's the best full-supported videocard with dual dvi that could drive two 1920x1200 displays? [11:00] lol. The problem is that I'm backing up data from a bad hard drive to the drive / (here) and hadn't moved it to my external drive yet. I was formatting my external drive and I opened up cfdisk and changed the type of the drive to NTFS without checking to see which device it was since I'm used to ubuntu having a swap parition (I'm guessing 8.10 went with a file)... anyhow, I just did a fdisk -l and saw that both drives were NTFS (which obviously can [11:00] 't be okay for my linux install here /) and I freaked out... but the data was still accessible, thank god [11:01] r0ach: it probably is... sure [11:01] So now I just have to figure out what fs it was and change it back [11:01] i've got nvidia here, but i'm looking for something to avoid the binary driver with [11:01] *-* [11:01] fde: it's great! Thank you! [11:01] I'm genuinely afraid to turn off the computer now though [11:01] fde: Thx fde, lemme get this going [11:01] lol [11:02] jimmygoon: well atleast it can't be too many different partitions right, or did you not partition it yourself in teh first place? [11:02] ChrisBookwood: which did you choose? [11:02] hey how do i get videos to play in my browser?i don't mean flash ones either :O [11:02] fde: i have only tried screenlets right now, but i remember trying gdesklet a year ago or something, and didn't like it then [11:02] no, I let ubuntu do it... normally it does two - one for / and one for swap. but with 8.10 it went with all just one biggun... which threw me off. now I have to guess what FS I had used [11:02] jimmygoon: /me away [11:03] Does ubuntu use ext2 or 3 by default? [11:03] Impy^: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras ... it'll bring in flash and java etc etc, but it'll also bring in a lot of codecs, so that'll work too [11:03] * eix away [11:03] Impy^: many ways, try sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc then restart your browser [11:03] ChrisBookwood: good choice imo :) [11:03] fde: thank you;) [11:03] jimmygoon: should be ext3 for / and ext2 for swap, in a logical partition [11:03] ahh k cheers fde and fosco will try that now :) [11:03] Impy^: VLC will still require codecs..... [11:04] bitmouse, normally I would agree but that isn't the case for 8.10 [11:04] Impy^: Ubuntu ships with a media player plugin, you just require codecs etc, which is what I told you will get you [11:04] er... wait, I had to set up the partitions with 8.04 and then inplace-upgrade [11:04] wth!!!! [11:05] ah some videos wont play in the browser i have to download them to watch them :/ [11:05] jimmygoon: yeah I just did like 10 8.10 installs and that's what they all did for me on automatic :P [11:05] Impy^: no point having 10 players when they all play the same stuff [11:05] bitmouse, yeah, I dont know what is up iwth this. I have to send it in to get it fixed anyway... I'll just have them reimage it or something [11:05] jimmygoon: but if your linux did it you may be in luck, I just hope if it did throw it in a logical partition that that won't throw of your reFSing [11:06] yeah, what are you trying to get off? [11:06] Jimmygoon: points up [11:06] hey fde...might i pm? [11:07] eintroid: sure [11:07] meh, to be honest I threw in my ubuntu partition just to be able to recover my data from my dying drive...

[12:48] guys is there any rm to mp3 or ogg converter for ubuntu [12:48] thanks [12:48] !samba > endo602 [12:48] endo602, please see my private message [12:48] jrib: when I try to run xrandr in console I get a "Can't open display" message. It works in terminal tho [12:48] i have created New Primary Slave in Ubuntu (in VBox with Host OS WinXp) and UUID of it is UUID="fe04dadf-556f-427f-a5f7-e48d32ab7c8d" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" Should i ADD this is in fstab ???? [12:48] Tyrath: ah. You want: [12:49] !framebuffer | Tyrath [12:49] Tyrath: Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub [12:49] defrysk, my bank says I should install java web browser plugin version 1.6 [12:49] defrysk, they say it works with firefox and linux [12:49] jrib: I was afraid you'd tell me I'd have to deal with the framebuffer :/ [12:49] blackpearl: if you want to add it, add it [12:49] Tyrath: that's the only way I know. I don't know if you have to [12:50] !java | benoka [12:50] defrysk, just checked and saw that I have that in firefox [12:50] benoka: 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 [12:50] jrib: the framebuffer is all grub related. is there no other way to do it other than on boots? ie, so I can change during a session? [12:50] jrib: shouldn't the .ssh folder be in my home directory though? as its not there should i just create it? [12:50] sorry bot doesnt answer my question [12:50] benoka, sorry, mot sure how to help :( [12:50] Hello, for some reason Kopete has not been letting me sign into yahoo all day, is happening to anyone else, & how can I fix this? I am running Kopete from KDE3 on Hardy. [12:50] JohanT: you may want to search bugs.ubuntu.com and the upstream zsnes tracker if they have one until someone comes along that can help you [12:50] jrib: cause with the framebuffer I always have to restart to fix it up [12:50] Tyrath: don't know [12:50] i need to use terminal to make share, how do i do that [12:51] jimmysparkle: sure. It probably gets created the first time you ssh somewhere [12:51] jrib: see the thing is, console looks perfect - the way i like it, only on boot the ubuntu progress bar gets shoved out of the screen [12:51] Tyrath: checked /etc/usplash.conf ? [12:51] jrib: which i guess means the frames are outside the screen :/ [12:51] jrib: I'll take a look [12:51] ah yeah, thanks jrib :P [12:51] defrysk, it's ok, it's getting too specific [12:51] endo602: did you read the link ubottu gave you? [12:52] yes [12:52] endo602: and? [12:52] i dont want to mount a share [12:52] hey [12:52] i want to make a share [12:52] defrysk, thanks for your help [12:52] endo602: there was more than one link... [12:52] i have probem with my geforce 4 MX [12:52] i know [12:52] i went there === Someone is now known as Guest91067 [12:52] jrib: Thank you. That is great! [12:52] can anyone help me pls [12:53] !ask [12:53] 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. :-) [12:53] jrib: so how do i determine what my xres and yres should be? should I set them in accord with the framebuffer? [12:53] jrib: ie, vga [12:53] i just want to ameka shared folder from the terminal [12:53] Tyrath: trial and error [12:53] jrib: vga is set to 792. I'm not sure exactly what that translates to [12:54] jrib: is splash governed by the framebuffer or are they unrelated? [12:54] i think 792 is 1280 x 800 but i'm not 100% sure [12:54] Tyrath: that link from ubottu should say [12:55] I have a problem after upgrade my kernel and after completed i find my Geforce 4 MX nbot work properly, my === hubuntu is now known as huayra [12:55] * Tyrath wishes he could follow links in console mode :/ [12:55] it only low resolution and cant run google earth application asw well [12:55] I can output text here from a web page but can't output text from here to a webpage :/ [12:55] mall24end: how did you installed the drivers you were using? [12:56] Tyrath: you mean in a virtual console, or in an xterm or something ? [12:56] i installed when i setup my first ubuntu [12:56] linxeh: virtual console [12:56] and for the frist setup it work well [12:56] Tyrath: use a text mode web browser or wget and curl [12:56] Tyrath: you know about gpm for mouse + cut/paste ? [12:56] linxeh: but it's not even that. see in elinks i can perform a multitude of functions [12:56] Hi all! what os default radio in radio plugin for desktop? [12:56] is* [12:56] is anyone there in aSmallWorld? [12:56] Radio * 3 [12:57] linxeh: i don't have a mouse in virtual console :/ [12:57] in the end of radio name is 3 [12:57] endo602: 'man net' seem to be what you want [12:57] linxeh: i shouldn't need on either [12:57] Tyrath: ok, fairysnuff :) [12:57] linxeh: there's probably some funky key that lets me follow links, or there should be [12:57] endo602: search for "usershare" in that man page [12:57] Tyrath: you dont need one. just nobody really cares to do the things you are doing, so tools don't support it. perhaps you should write the code that does it [12:57] :) [12:57] linxeh: and if that could integrate elinks with it that would be sweeet [12:57] Tyrath: tab ? enter? space? [12:57] how do I setup luks under ubuntu? [12:57] is anyone there in aSmallWorld? [12:58] is anyone there in aSmallWorld?

[12:58] hey can some one suggest me an alternative for gtalk [12:58] Hi I have a problem, I want to change my partitions and gparted always says device or resource is busy, while it is not even mouted [12:58] erUSUL: I can only enter commands with /exec in irssi [12:58] can some one help me please [12:58] jrib: yes.. [12:58] * garette kicks self [12:58] mall24end: if you used the drivers from nvidia you have to reinstall them everytime the kernel (or some xserver packages is installed) [12:59] Angah: doesn't that tell you how to create a cronjob? [12:59] is it possible to mount a samba share across the internet? [12:59] !nvidia [12:59] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:59] linxeh: i can only program in java. so prob wouldn't have a clue how to do that [12:59] i see [12:59] jrib: yes.. [12:59] like mount my laptop at work to my home network? [12:59] Angah: so what is your question now? [12:59] Tyrath: if you can program in java you can quite easily learn another language - and adding something to an existing codebase is a very good way of learning the language and that codebase too [12:59] mall24end: details here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [12:59] so what should i have to do for resinstall my driver [12:59] linxeh: the closest i get to knowing C (linux's base) is my knowledge of PHP :P [12:59] without vpn'ing into my home network or anything like that? [12:59] cos it not work from terminal [13:00] Tyrath: Java is closer to C than PHP [13:00] thk i ll try [13:00] jrib: oh..now i have to insert my shell scrpt in cronjob [13:00] mall24end: run the nvidia installer again instructions in the link i gave [13:00] Tyrath: and many apps for "linux" aren't in C either :P [13:00] linxeh: well being a programming language as opposed to a server side scripting language you are probably right [13:00] Angah: so do it following the instructions there. Which part isn't clear from the wiki? [13:01] linxeh: they're in perl yes? [13:01] Tyrath: tcl, C++, python, perl, ruby, C# yadda yadda [13:01] it just depends what the programmer liked [13:01] :) [13:01] * jrib never learned yadda yadda [13:02] linxeh: and I kow none of those langs lol [13:02] jrib: you should try it - managers can understand it [13:02] I've installed denyhosts on my ubuntu box and everytime i try to ssh to my machine it closes my connection and adds my IP to /etc/hosts.deny - anyone know what im doing wrong? [13:02] How do I open/close ports on my local computer [13:02] linxeh: nah, they understand blah blah, not yadda yadda [13:02] !firewall > neeto [13:02] neeto, please see my private message [13:02] linxeh: I have fiddled with eggdrop so i guess i've had a minute experiance with tcl [13:02] Tyrath: but as a programmer it is trivial to learn another language - this is getting offtopic though, so #ubuntu-offtopic :) [13:02] neeto: you have to install an application (a server) to open the ports [13:02] neeto: you could use netcat [13:02] my manager can understand lolcode :P [13:02] neeto: firewall is just ufw in shell I think [13:03] neeto: I think you need to do ufw enable or something, not quite sure tho [13:03] i think that is what i will start programming in at work... everything will be in lolcode... they would have to keep me around then... or get a sense of humor lol [13:03] I liked firestarter better then ufw [13:03] neeto: by default there is no firewall enabled in ubuntu so there is no need to "open" any port [13:03] what does ufw do if activated? got no system here right now to check the iptables rules [13:03] neeto: note that no ports are closed by default by the firewall === adit_1 is now known as anizzzzzzzzzzzz [13:03] and or gufw which is just the gui [13:03] I've installed denyhosts on my ubuntu box and everytime i try to ssh to my machine it closes my connection and adds my IP to /etc/hosts.deny - anyone know what im doing wrong? [13:03] hi, i'm using VLC on Intrepid, but i get no video! just sound. how can i enable video in VLC? [13:04] neeto: if there is something listening in any port nothing will block it [13:04] adam7: I ask because I have a server that has opened a port and I don't know what did it. I need to use that port but it's already opened and bound to another program for some reason. I want to find out what port it's using [13:04] l3d: what's the bet that firestarter is more resource intensive? :/ [13:04] neeto: what port is it? [13:04] neeto: in that case, to close the port, you need to stop the application. most of the time you can figure out what the application is if you know the port number [13:04] Tyrath: but seriously, why not try learning a bit of C (at least enough to hack something together) - its a good thing to do :) [13:04] I think lsof might help too? [13:04] adam7: 9050, I installed tor, tor is not running, but when I try to run it, it says the port is already bound. [13:05] neeto: you can find out what is using a port with netstat [13:05] linxeh: that's the one :) [13:05] linxeh: because if I start learning C I will forget how to do java. and I've been trained at university to do java :P [13:05] lsof is for files [13:05] i finish add in cronjob using webmin [13:05] thanks all... [13:05] linxeh: I'll try netstat [13:05] linxeh: I've forgotten how to do ASP cause I learned PHP [13:06] Tyrath: sure, but you can pick it up very quickly again if you ever needed to [13:07] neeto: lsof -i :9050 [13:07] linxeh: I also hate the API documentation :P [13:07] - for java that is [13:07] !webmin [13:07] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [13:07] Tyrath: why? [13:07] Tyrath: that makes two of use ;) [13:07] jrib, found it, it was just another tor process that I didn't know was running :/ [13:07] s/use/us/ [13:07] the Java API is very well documented [13:08] Hello, for some reason Kopete has not been letting me sign into yahoo all day, is happening to anyone else, & how can I fix this? I am running Kopete from KDE3 on Hardy. [13:08] adam7: lol [13:08] lets keep this channel for pure support issues, if you want to discuss the differences of programming languages and their documentation and such, find another channel, for starters #ubuntu-offtopic and there forward [13:08] linxeh: I don't believe they explain the package functions well [13:09] Tyrath: they define what is needed - the programmers guides explain things in more detail (as do the tutorials). Sadly everyone seems to ignore the programmers guides that come with the API [13:09] Tyrath: API docs arent supposed to be tutorials too [13:09] linxeh: i'll keep that in mind next time I have to code in java [13:10] but I haven't coded in java for a year now [13:10] you've spent a year in PHP ? [13:10] ouch [13:10] !dns [13:10] DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, and is an internet system used to translate names into IP Address. [13:10] infact the last time I coded was in vb, but that was only modification stuff [13:10] linxeh: no [13:10] :P [13:11] linxeh: learning PHP wasn't even part of my degree's requirements [13:11] linxeh: I had to learn PHP to keep a client happy [13:11] linxeh: actually the website hoster for a client [13:11] linxeh, Tyrath: go someplace else to discuss the differences of programming languages [13:12] Myrtti: sorry [13:12] anyhow thanks for the help people [13:13] how can i get my dell axim x3 Monkrysto work w/ my dell, i have no disk drive [13:13] hi guys ... anyone experienced on ext3 recovery ?

[13:19] ok, so apt-get install wicd and then apt-get remove knetworkmanager [13:19] wicd [13:19] rino: you need to go to http://wicd.net/download.php and follow the instructions there [13:19] adam7: the drive is ide and overheated yesterday ... i suppose that it is going... no way to use other things insted of 'dd/rescue' ?

I have installed a Ubuntu Live Installation on a 2 GB USB stick with the built-in tool in Intrepid. This USB installation works fne on my own computer, but it doesn't on another computer I tested. This computer has the same mother board. I'm getting this message from SYSLINUX: Could not find kernel image: linux. [13:40] Seveas, what i did earlier is, I split some files on a server pc, then downloaded them on my Ubuntu, used cat to unsplit them into the iso file, ran it with ubuntu worked fine, moved it through FTP (SmartFTP) on windows it messed up, could it be that SmartFTP is copying it weirdly? === PV_Work is now known as PV_NYSCATE [13:41] that worked, seems to have disabled the search box :-) [13:41] GeorgeA, yes, that is very well possible. For text files you need to make sure to use TEXT MODE ftp and not BIN MODE. That will make it convert lineendings [13:42] Seveas, iso files are BIN or TEXT? [13:42] hello, whats the alternative to qgrubeditor in intrepid? [13:42] GeorgeA, BIN [13:42] Could someone please help me, ever since I've upgraded from hardy to ibex I've been having problems with sound.

It just needed a reboot. VSocks is noted on various boards as not compiling under kernel 2.6.27 so I was right to ignore it [13:44] Paddy_EIRE: thx. so whats the closest to qgrubeditor? [13:44] Seveas, alright I re-initiated another FTP session, it's downloading it in BIN format, since am downloading it over wireless and it's big, it'll need around 50 minutes to download. Thanks for your help. I hope it works. [13:44] co0lingFir3, what is qgrubeditor... is it qt based or for kde on a different distro?

[13:54] it doesnt have hardware acceleration [13:54] lol mgolisch [13:54] can curlftpfs be set to automatically reconnect if the connection is interrupted? [13:54] remote, what are you doing with it? [13:54] helllo [13:54] hmm// was reading that the nvglx(?) driver doesnt work at all in intrepid [13:54] Dekkard, it does [13:55] Paddy_EIRE: what?

[13:56] remotec, so you want a script to remount upon dropping the connection? [13:56] fuck your mother [13:56] dmulholland: you probably want a fortran channel [13:56] Hello, for some reason Kopete has not been letting me sign into yahoo all day, is happening to anyone else, & how can I fix this? I am running Kopete from KDE3 on Hardy.

[14:01] benoka: have you got synaptic ok === spree is now known as Monkeyassqueer [14:01] during updates [14:01] i need to understand an english sentence what am i going to do in the turkish channel [14:01] C0p3rn1c: look at your sources.list [14:01] C0p3rn1c: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [14:01] k [14:02] ubd: this isn't an english help channel [14:02] C0p3rn1c, remove the cd as a repository perhaps before you upgrade :) [14:02] PEKALONGAN [14:02] ikonia, no, you're right, it was running another installation, thank you :) [14:03] Paddy_EIRE, none of those scripts address re-mounting on error, maybe adding an fstab entry will help [14:03] remotec, that is what I was thinking [14:03] Can anyone help Please?? I went to start up my computer this morning and up came a message saying the Gnome session manager was unable to read the file ....... If this file exists it must be readable by Gone to work properly. The logging in with the failsafe sesion and removing the file. How can I do this????? [14:03] remotec, having it in fstab is more sane to begin with anyway :) [14:04] also there is something wrong with my window manager when I enable desktop effects, I tried to reinstall compiz-fusion after I solved a little bug but apperently something whent wrong, now I don't have controls on my windows, no minimize, no maximize or close buttong [14:04] C0p3rn1c, install fusion-icon and emerald [14:04] Paddy_EIRE, it doesn't hurt, but still might encounter the same error, because if the connection is interrupted, the fuse directory may still have to be manually dismounted & remounted [14:04] C0p3rn1c: install emerald or type `metacity --replace` [14:05] Does anyone know how to log in with the failsafe session please???? [14:05] remote, ah.. so it would not be specifically a curl problem [14:05] llamakc: I had to disable metacity because it dident work anymore with my compiz or somethign :) [14:05] david1, it is an option at the login screen [14:05] david1, reboot then on grub countdown press escape and choose the recovery option [14:05] C0p3rn1c: then apt-get emerald and use that [14:05] !help build-essential [14:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:05] Paddy_EIRE, it's somewhere between curl and fuse, probably the best thing to look for is fuse-related scripts, the same problem can occur with sshfs for example [14:06] remotec. Many thks for your reply. I didn't have any option. As soon as I started the computer in the usual way up popped this message and I cant do anything except click OK [14:06] llamakc: emerald --replace? [14:06] remotec, yeah I would imagine so [14:06] C0p3rn1c: I believe so. `emerald --replace &` [14:06] How do I upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy? [14:06] remotec. How do I reboot on grub! Sorry Im a newbie!! [14:06] C0p3rn1c, fusion-icon will do all that for you [14:06] !info build-essential | benoka [14:06] david1, yeah if you hit okay or continue, then you should be at the regular login screen and select failsafe sesson [14:06] build-essential (source: build-essential): Informational list of build-essential packages.

[14:07] how do I remove entries from either autostart or the /home/.config permanently? simply deleting them doesn't work -.- [14:07] Hi there. I'm a frustrated Vista user. I want to try something else, preferrably kubuntu. But I can't get it to work properly. :( Using an Asus R1E Tablet PC, and the most important feature (The Pen/Mouse) doesn't work *at all*. [14:07] hi [14:07] remotec: Well that didn't happen but I can try again. If not then should I restart and hit escape when the text comes up... and you say look for recovery option is that right? [14:08] anyone plays ET:QW :? [14:08] nope the controls are still missing :( [14:08] ForceDestroyer, did you check to see if your device is supported [14:08] david1, what happens when click ok on that warning?

[14:08] Paddy_EIRE: the controls are still missing [14:08] ForceDestroyer, search the forum for that model to see if you need a special driver [14:09] C0p3rn1c, did you install emerald? [14:09] Paddy_EIRE: hard to tell what it is exactly. Some WACOM Tablet with an USB interface. They *should* be supported somehow.

Since I *am* new to Linux, I could have made any mistake anywhere, but it could also be that the driver's not working properly... no idea [14:10] remotec: I will shutdown and start again to see what happens. If I don't get anything should I shutdown and at prompt press escape and look for recover plan? [14:10] Someone got it to work on this machine, wrote a tutorial, and even following that step-by-step brings no result :/ [14:11] ForceDestroyer, I had to install wacoms for quite a few people [14:11] david1, what do you see there now? [14:11] thx for all the help guys [14:11] remotec: If I shut down then I will have to disconnect and won't get anything. [14:11] ForceDestroyer, what tutorial are you following? [14:11] C0p3rn1c, sure [14:11] remotec: I'll shutdown and come back later ok? [14:11] david1, so you were able to login okay and it is running now?

I had Fedora Core 5 earlier, then for a while no Linux :-( because only using PC at work = Windows :-(( not all employers are clever ;-) now - I am very happy to have chosen Ubuntu, great! I will have a couple of questions, to start... if anyone is willing to help ... here I go ... [14:12] Paddy_EIRE: but why are my controls gone when I select compiz as my window manager? [14:12] david1, ok that is fine, there is no need to reboot yet [14:12] Oh, gtg for a moment. I'll come back to nag you a little more l8er [14:12] C0p3rn1c, compiz is only the window manager [14:13] !bin [14:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about bin [14:13] i am tryin to install ubuntu..in my external hard drive...with vista... but while installing i dont see option to install ubuntu, in external hard drive... [14:13] david1, the question is to figure out what is broken with your main user profile [14:13] remotec: I don't know why this error comes up on my normal login. thk heavens I had the other login available otherwise...... ???? [14:13] hello ... I am a complete newbie ... I have a Ubuntu server with no graphical environment, and for some reason a couple of hours ago the images folder content (several subfolders with hundreds of jpegs) has DISSAPEARED ... the rest seems to be OK (Apache conf, PHP scripts and MySQL tables) ... any clues of which log files should I check in order to know if somebody has hacked my server? [14:13] C0p3rn1c, you still need to pick a window decorator.. (metacity or emerald) [14:13] !.bin [14:13] david1, have you made any recent changes to your system? [14:13] C0p3rn1c, or kwin if you use kde [14:13] david1, if you did not have a 2nd user, that is when the failsafe session would be helpful [14:13] remotec: Last night I was playing around with things and suppose I did something I shouldn't have done!!!! [14:14] what is the easyest way to run a .bin filke [14:14] How comes playing Youtube clips is very laggy? [14:14] david1, lol, sounds like it, what sort of things did you change? [14:14] Dillizar, a bin file could be anything what is it [14:14] Paddy_EIRE: I have selected emerald as decorator [14:14] Dillizar: `sh nameof.bin` [14:14] C0p3rn1c, cool [14:14] remotec: Sorry I just don't remember now...... [14:14] Paddy_EIRE: also my desktop cube isnt working anymore :$ [14:15] remotec: I have been having problems with k3b and know I deleted this [14:15] llamakc, that will not necessarily correct [14:15] *be [14:15] i'm tring to compile kernl from ubuntu source, but when i type "make-kpkg clean", i've got "make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux/arch/xen/Makefile'. Stop.", i'm under amd64. What's wrong? [14:15] david1, hmm well how did you delete it? [14:15] It concerns Parallels. I have searched everywhere but I can't find how to solve this. I have run parallels-config as sudo, then it keeps saying I have not (in spite of the terminal confirming it was successful): It keeps saying module vm-main not found and "not configured for running kernel" any suggestions? thank you in advance [14:15] with Synaptic [14:15] How comes playing Youtube clips is very laggy? [14:15] Paddy's correct, it depends on the file. what bin are you trying to run [14:15] remotec: With Synaptic [14:15] david1, ok that should be no problem, anything else? [14:15] llamakc, a bin file could be anything... running it without knowing what it is first randomly is bad advice [14:15] how can I see if somebody has run a rm command recently? [14:16] hi! Help me =) How i can install Ubuntu 8.1 in the mimimum configuration? [14:16] I have a completely blank hard drive, which apparently has a screwed up MBR. I have written the Ubuntu ISO to a disk using MagicISO and used the boot menu to tell my computer to boot from CD but it wont and goes to boot from hard drive and asks me Ubuntu or XP(Because I tried to install Ubuntu via a dock), if I select Ubuntu it takes me into some Grub thing. [14:16] hey,,guy..i have a prob using lpr command line [14:16] Anyway, I'm writing a new CD to try that [14:16] ForceDestroyer, did you have any errors while following that guide? [14:16] which log files should I check in order to know if somebody has hacked my server? [14:16] remotec: I can't remember what else [14:16] remotec: Would the recover plan help me do you think? [14:17] But the question is, can I instal via a dock(Just copy the system files across) or do I have to to it via CD? [14:17] Letter_Z, come back when you have a question rather than running commentary on the support channel :P [14:17] Whats the apt-get command for Java download [14:17] !java | konner [14:17] konner: 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 [14:17] I had two questions [14:17] And asked them [14:17] question, anyone knows , how to remote access system(ubuntu). [14:17] david1, worst case you can make a new user and copy your settings over, but if you can remember what might have gotten broken then there can be an easier way [14:17] But the question is, can I instal via a dock(Just copy the system files across) or do I have to to it via CD? [14:17] The other question is: Why the hell wont it work? [14:18] Letter_Z, you can install via usb [14:18] Okay, how? [14:18] remotec: Encouraging news - thks [14:18] !install | Letter_Z [14:18] question, anyone knows , how to remote access system(ubuntu). i mean remote logon [14:18] Letter_Z: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[14:19] ? [14:19] hi ppl. Actually I\m a bit sick of Ubuntu at the moment. Im trying to install latest version on a Fujitsu Siemens Lefibook E8110 and Iv had like 4 different fails in different stages. This seems quite unacceptable to me. Debian etch installs w.o. problems, but the wireles dosnt work, and so on, so I would actually prefer ubuntu if possible... [14:19] david1, you can make as many users as you like :) [14:19] remotec, thx [14:19] Hi folks, I've installed flash on intrepid using the deb installer, and flash seems to skip a lot, or lose sync. (Ubuntu 8.10, Using an ATi w/ ATI/AMD Proprietary FGLRX driver & compiz enabled) [14:19] How can I do something like this: bar = "organization__istartswith"; obj_lst = Foo.objects.filter(bar=request.GET.get('q')) ... How can I make the bar dynamic in my query [14:19] lpr???why cannot work on ubuntu????/pliz help me.... [14:19] Any idea what the cause of the skipping/desync is? [14:20] Open movie editor's playback flickers, any suggestions? [14:20] JordanC, did you use a .deb or Synaptic? [14:20] remotec. OK many thks. I will give this a try OK. [14:20] I've disabled compiz [14:20] JordanC, why did you use a deb instead of installing from the repo [14:20] ? [14:20] JordanC, stick with supported methods [14:21] david1, sure thing, all the user config files are in /home/username/ and the hidden directories start with a . [14:21] um hi, I have a problem with Konversation under ubuntu (not kubuntu) I installed Opera from a deb package and it's taken control as the default browser I changed it back to Firefox with "Prefered Applications" and Ichanged sensible-browser back to Firefox as well but Konversation is still using Opera how do I fix it? [14:21] Which repo includes the flash plugin? [14:21] I tried to install it, but the repo it had defaulted to didn't have it [14:21] JordanC, its called adobe-flash [14:21] !info adobe-flash [14:21] Package adobe-flash does not exist in intrepid [14:21] hmm [14:21] sec [14:21] ravn1, I can't see you're upset with ubuntu and I can understand, I also think that there is nothing compulsory here so if you're better off with another distibution, please go ahead - this IRC room is not meant to be on pros and cons of distribution, if I remember well, there is some IRC and fora on that, just check www.linux.org [14:22] what's this thing with adobe-flash, second time i see it [14:22] but there's patently no such package [14:22] ravn1 I meant "I can see" [14:22] !info adobe-flashplugin [14:22] Package adobe-flashplugin does not exist in intrepid [14:22] heh [14:22] !info flashplugin-nonfree | i think this one *is* still around... [14:22] Paddy_EIRE, I don't have a USB big enough for that. What I do have is the black hard drive of my other laptop, a dock and this computer.

[14:24] I might try Gnash [14:24] mber> yes, I understand that i sound like a winder, but the thing is a really like ubuntu when its working, and I have used debian for long time, so I feel comfortable with this os class. So I would really like to manage to install everything... [14:24] JordanC, did you enable the multiverse repository?

[14:26] I'll take a look now [14:26] Konversation [14:26] Is there a way to have an icon on my desktop so that when I open it up it opens up the terminal with an ssh connection to a preset place asking me just the the password?

But that's just an opinion. [14:27] NishaKitty, I could swear its there [14:27] Ah, I see it there [14:27] I'll remove this one, then replace it with that [14:27] I've searched google for ages to change the default kde web browser without using the gui and nothing [14:27] It's not really that huge an issue at the moment; a rare occurrence [14:27] anyone know about sysreports [14:27] remotec: well it's good to know it can be done :) just got to do some googling :D [14:28] How can i find out what my wireless adapter is called? And see if its installed. [14:28] Saint1993: iwconfig on a terminal [14:28] LjL, perhaps I have the "adobe-flashplugin" from medibuntu... I mean apart from having that enabled I also have an OOo3 ppa added and I dont believe they would include it? [14:28] LjL, ah.. apt-cache policy :) [14:28] mber: yes, I agree. [14:28] \O// [14:29] Paddy_EIRE: it might be medibuntu... or you might have installed the .deb that apparently adobe itself now provides [14:29] Skyrail, yep indeed, just get the right repository enabled and refresh the sources, then you should see the flashplugin-nonfree package listed [14:29] LjL, hmm [14:29] Paddy_EIRE: i'd still say flashplugin-nonfree is the supported way, though (see "automatic updates") [14:29] It concerns Parallels. I have searched everywhere but I can't find how to solve this. I have run parallels-config as sudo, then it keeps saying I have not (in spite of the terminal confirming it was successful): It keeps saying module vm-main not found and "not configured for running kernel" any suggestions?

I used "Connect to server" then the Desktop-icon appears very shortly and vanishes. Using an IP instead of the name does not change it. It used to work with Hardy... Using smbclient on the console is not OK either. Where can I grab this problem? Configure smbclient or smbfs? [14:31] *has been trying to fix it for 2 hours and feelings totally stupid now* [14:31] >.< [14:31] NishaKitty, yeah that will be something you will have to contend with when you mix kde and gnome apps... which is no biggie in my book :) [14:31] geolr: have you tried to FTP into it via web browser to ensure its accessable [14:32] LjL, just enable the canonical partners repository [14:32] Paddy_EIRE: when I installed ibex it shows up in the applications list in gnome for add and remove programs x.x [14:32] I wonder if there is any way to put a trigger (or look in a log) for all files accessed by a program. lsof doesnt work for me since I cant make it run at the same time as the program (quickly) access some file [14:33] ive just installed phpmyadmin, how do i use it? [14:33] ravn1: if your looking in a log you should be able to use the find tool of the editor [14:33] marshall, go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser [14:34] remotec, thanks [14:34] Paddy_EIRE: ah it's in partner? fine then [14:34] Im having trouble with lirc - hauppauge hvr-1110, ubuntu 8.10 and 2.6.27-8-generic kernel. When i try starting lirc with /etc/init.d/lirc start it gives me: "Unable to load LIRC kernel modules.". checked dmesg and saw now errors with lirc, only thing there was "lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61" [14:35] LjL, yeah remove the other package first the process otherwise aint pretty [14:35] LinkOps> im not looking in a log, I want to create a log entry for every file a certain program touches... or tries to touch [14:35] Paddy_EIRE: well i'm not going to install it myself since i don't even have intrepid, but will keep that in mind [14:35] ravn1: you can watch a directory (subtree) for changes with inotify [14:35] cheeps, it might already be running, use "ps aux | grep lirc" to check the process list [14:35] LjL, I was wondering why it was not crashing... I guess kudos to adobe.. FINALLY [14:36] other then /etc/init.d/networking (any combination to restart)....... is there any other way to restart my networking interfaces.... whenever my desktop (8.10) comes out of hibernation i am not able to get a network connection until i restart the machine. [14:37] LinkOps: Yes, it is there (needed to reset my password...). Can I somewhere gather info about the cause of the crash of smbclient/smbfs? Does it have something to do with gvfs? Thank you! [14:38] geolr: no idea mate i just knew how to elimante the possibility of it being a network issue although im sure someone else here may know of a log or 2 you could check [14:38] LinkOps: Well and there is no password on the shared folder. It is a PackardBell Netstore device, not highst quality, I know. [14:39] Hi, can somebody help me figure out how to get my bluetooth headset to work with ibex? I sort-of got it to work on hardy, but things seems to have changed with ibex.. I've tried various guides and howtos, but to no avail.. [14:39] help please. My windows cant boot and thus my home directory cant be reached either from window or linux. When I try to mount it manually i get this info http://paste.ubuntu.com/75966/. should i try to "force" the mount, is thera any risk with this action? [14:40] geolr: I'm sure there are far more worst brands you could have brought (freecom to mention one) at least its a reputable (ish) company just keep your reciept. some cheap externals have a minor design floor which can cause overheating of components [14:40] Nalleman: use ntfsfix from ntfsprogs on the partition [14:41] LinkOps: good to hear :-) [14:41] hihi === PEBMAC is now known as MITM === MITM is now known as PEBMAC [14:41] erUSUL, what is ntfsfix and ntfsprogs? [14:41] Nalleman, if your windows can't boot, I would take the risk (i have taken it) but in some cases your Windows may not be working anymore. However, if it is already not booting you need to rescue it anyway, so I would do it - but it IS risky [14:41] i need help with installing a JMF [14:41] Nalleman: ntfs is a command that comes in ntfsprogs package [14:41] Nalleman: ntfsfix is a command that comes in ntfsprogs package [14:41] geolr: i've had to buy soo many circuit boards from seagate because there mesh internal design on there maxtor externals ends up touching and blowing a little chip [14:42] mber, i dont care about window, i just care about my data [14:42] nick/ rull [14:42] Nalleman: Being no expert on this... Did you boot of a CD? This is what I would try first. [14:43] !JMF [14:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about JMF [14:44] !java media framework [14:44] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:44] geolr, did you mean boot windows with a CD? if so, no. i dont have a bootable windows (xp) cd [14:44] Nalleman, my experience is limited, but your data should in principle be safe is you force mount. did your windows freeze or crash? when it does, it leaves, so to speak, things "mounted" so that you cannot mount, as if it were blocked on something. When you force (in principle) you simply force detachment - that's what I did - but it is true that it is NOT 100% safe... but then again, what is? [14:44] anyone know how i'd re-enable gdm? i deselected it in services by mistake [14:44] and it wont let me unlock it === walkout is now known as baldaris [14:45] pickett: sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults [14:45] thx [14:45] mber, it crashes. it says something about dumping memory or such [14:45] nalleman, post-scriptum, all my data was safe, and I did it a couple of times, latest today [14:45] nalleman, that's what I expected, yes [14:46] Nalleman: there are Boot-CDs which run a Windows-Environment (BootPE), I think it is called Ultimate Boot CD. That might be a worth a try, even though you would need to download and burn it. [14:46] Nalleman: have you tried tapping F8 and doing safe mode to see if it persists === Monkeyassqueer is now known as spree [14:46] LinkOps, Yes, failsafe mode gives same result [14:47] Nalleman: ewww not good . . . personally do anything you like to it to get the data back maybe install windows on a second HDD and access it from there would be more failsafe (sorry to not use linux) [14:47] On my SMB-Issue: I found a samba-directory under /var/log. All log files seem to be empty... so do i need to enable logging? Is /etc/smb.conf the right place to start? [14:48] geolr: nah [14:48] geolr: more than likely. you just need to change the log setting but cant remember the coding for it [14:48] should be logging as standard [14:48] Nalleman, I might be wrong, but apart from taking your hard disk out and doing with some special tools there is relatively little else to do than force mount to retrieve your data - I insist - I might be wrong - so it really depends on the value of your data - it worked OK for me - but I have not done it 100,000 times to be statistically safe ;-) [14:48] geolr - debnore: would he not need to change the logging level? [14:49] Nalleman, the data that could be lost if you force mount is only if a file was being written in windows when it crashed [14:49] mber, right. I would not put you responsible.. :) i just try to find out my alternatives.. [14:50] Nalleman, if that is important then use the ntfsprogs fixntfs [14:50] 有人在吗？ [14:50] nalleman, thank you, good luck [14:50] I have one file in /var/log/samba with a nome like: log.wb->my_hostname> but it is empty. In smb.conf I find syslog = 0 which should be OK (?), so anything goes into these files. [14:50] buenas nin [14:50] mber, thanks :) [14:50] !cn | limin100714 [14:50] limin100714: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:51] como va todo [14:51] Nalleman: as i mentioned earlier if you have a spare low GB HDD laying around do a fresh install on that and connect your main HDD after to access and retrieve.

[14:51] hey all i was in here yesterday and someone mentiond to me about ebox [14:51] does anyone know anything about that? [14:51] geolr, are you sure smbclient is crashing, or just not mounting the directory properly? [14:52] !ebox | Shutter_ [14:52] Well smb.conf is to be used if I want to share something from the Intrepid box. But i am trying to mount a remote share... Any hints on how to gather info via the console command? [14:52] Shutter_: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [14:52] geolr, try putting the address in nautilus like smb://user:pass@ip/ [14:52] LinkOps, right now i just have a 320 GB extern driver with some backup. a bootable xp recovery cd maybe could do the trick [14:52] erUSUL i know that. but i was just logged into to it and there is nothing really inside the administrative side [14:53] geolr, yes if you are trying to mount a remote directory i wouldn't mess with smb.conf [14:53] Shutter_: you have to install the various plugins [14:53] !find ebox [14:53] Found: ebox, ebox-ca, ebox-dhcp, ebox-dns, ebox-firewall (and 14 others) [14:53] hi can anyone help me connect to a remote desktop ? thanks ! [14:53] erUSUL so like ebox-apach [14:53] Shutter_: you see 14 modules [14:53] Nalleman: The backup recovery CD is more than likely to override all data on the disk and thus i would not recomend that before data retrieval [14:53] ebox-mysql5server? [14:53] tim167, what software is running on the remote computer? [14:54] tim167: do you know what the IP address is of the remote machine [14:54] LinkOps: yes but when i enter it i get 'connection closed' [14:54] Nalleman, unless you were in the middle of saving an important file when Windows crashed, i would just force the drive mount, it has worked okay for me in the past [14:54] how to play .rmvb files in ubuntu, preferably in vlc/totem [14:54] geolr: got it working? [14:54] remotec: i am running the default ubuntu remote desktop apps on both computers [14:55] remotec: the remote computer is on the other side of the world :) [14:55] tim167: firewalled? [14:55] remotec: i instructed that person to set remote desktop to allow remote control [14:55] tim167, ah ok, probably you need to set the router on the remote computer's network to forward traffic from a certain port [14:55] remotec probably its the easiest way.. should i use the command stated here http://paste.ubuntu.com/75966/ (choice 2)? [14:55] tim167: see if you can get VNC Server installed on the remote machine (tightvnc) and then get a vnc client on ur machine and use the ip address [14:55] Shutter_: install them via synaptic [14:55] tim167, do you know how to ssh to the remote machine? [14:55] !pm | Shutter_ [14:55] Shutter_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [14:56] hmmm, I tried smbclient. Can I use the IP to avoid any name-resolving-issues? I'll try nautilus too. [14:56] DeVnOrE, i don't know, how can i find out ? [14:56] remotec: no i don't really, is it hard to do ? [14:56] where were those plugins at [14:56] if you can't connect it's possible that your friend has a router/firewall solution in place [14:56] Nalleman, yep that is what i would do, unless you know that an important file was in the middle of being written when windows crashed [14:57] how to play .rmvb files in ubuntu, preferably in vlc/totem movie palyer, when i tried it playing with movie player, since it didnt have the codecs so it called the search for suitable codec, but didnt find the codec, said [14:57] tim167, it is easy, the tricky part is getting the router or routers configured on your network and the remote network === BlueEagle is now known as Gammel [14:57] any help? [14:57] remotec, i havent used windows in ages, it crashed when i tried to boot so no file should been written === Gammel is now known as BlueEagle [14:58] i always setup so that i have to use ssh with vnc (for security reasons) but that requires that you also got a account on the box [14:58] remotec: ok, I don't have alot of knowledge about router configureation :/ [14:58] tim167, basically the person that you are connecting to should forward port 22 to their computer, then you can use ssh to connect and then remote desktop will work [14:58] tim167: if you search on google - port forarding (router model number) .. that should get u a walkthrough [14:58] Nalleman, yeah i'd go ahead and force the mount, then copy off the important files [14:58] tim167: you got a account on the box? [14:58] LinkOps: ok, i hope the person can find out her router model number... [14:58] When I connect with smbclient //box/share I get an smb:\ prompt. After typing ls I get an Segmentation fault... And the info-line like: Domain=[ȇ] OS=[] Server=[���] does look weird. Might this be a problem? [14:58] remotec, i just did. it worked... :) [14:58] i believe portfowarding.com r portfoward.com is the website you are looking for [14:59] now windows is no more... :) [14:59] Hi [14:59] Shutter_: i'll check it out [14:59] Nalleman: trevligt [14:59] Is there an op here? [14:59] tim167, yeah that is the tricky part, it is not too difficult just that everyone usually has a slightly different router [14:59] Error message is: cli_list_new: Error: unable to parse name from info level 1 [14:59] tim167 two thing, one i am not primising htat is the website and two have you used ebox before? [14:59] remotec: nah, lirc is not running, irw gives me connection refused too. [14:59] tim167, you can experiment with your router to learn more [15:00] i've got two 1TB-drives in ext3 on LVM (striped) on cryptsetup, and getting horrible performance, usually no more than 20MB/s with 20% CPU-usage. with debian and xfs on LVM on cryptsetup I got 70-80 MB/s. what could be wrong? too small stripe size? other parameters? [15:00] Can someone look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990904 , I'd like a second opinion [15:00] Shutter_: never heard of ebox, what's that ? [15:00] Nalleman, great to hear :) [15:00] Maybe switch my UTF-8 terminal to ISO-8859-15 ? [15:00] tim167: if you only need it for today you could try logmein remote on a trial basis [15:00] administration of a server [15:00] and ineed some help with it [15:01] * DeVnOrE istructs tim167 to feel and explore his router. [15:01] LinkOps: i would need it for more than today... [15:01] can I ask a quick question please....if I am able to get into IRC and see chat taking place, but cannot browse ANY websites...would that be Ubuntu or my ISP? [15:01] maybe there is some program that configure the port forwarding using UPnP? [15:01] tim167: use the logmein and setup the permanent solution [15:01] !ebox [15:01] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [15:01] tim167: bare with me a second i know its like a 15day trial just getting you the address for it [15:02] mikebeecham, weird problem, it could possibly be either [15:02] LinkOps: ok cool [15:02] remotec: when I use network tools to ping a URL it keeps going grey [15:03] Hi to all, Any of you know how to change the default path of the folder Images in Gnome ? [15:04] tim167: www.logmeinrescue.com you set an account up get a job reference pin and give that to your friend. he then goes to www.123rescue.com and types the pin then you can take control so long as he accepts everything (URL's could be wrong) [15:04] i gave up on intrepid because the 3d drivers didn't support n17. i see fedora 10 seems to have worked that out and my n17 has 3d on it. anyone here know if n17 have 3d on intrepid now? [15:04] LinkOps: ok I'll definitely try it out thanks [15:04] tim167: worst case if your account trial expires just register a different email address. [15:05] LinkOps: neat :) [15:06] tim167: If your going to be giving constant remote assistance to this machine i would also recommend www.logmein.com as you can have a free account with them [15:07] hello every one [15:07] hello zesu [15:08] :) [15:08] how do you isntall the expansion modules for ebox? [15:09] Shutter_, if they were installed from a repository, you remove them using the package manager [15:09] how much is enough for a /boot partition? [15:09] If I try Nautilus like smb://test@IP then I get the shared folders. If I try to open one of them, Nautilus goes back to my ~. My NAS (Packardbell Netstore) has a list of folders and a list of the shared folders, where I could set a password. But no username?! Do I need a username with this smbclient-version? [15:09] joaopinto they are in ebox [15:10] i just installed ebox but hte expanson modules do not install wtih them [15:10] Shanix_, you could try asking on #ebox, I believe they have a channel here...

[15:26] :) [15:27] danub_: depends on a lot of firewalling and nating. its generally possible [15:27] how can I check which program using sudo ? [15:27] SeeWhy, is some aptitude or apt running? [15:27] closed all [15:27] no [15:27] what is meant by a "zombie process"? [15:27] ok good, then i will 'git r dun' [15:27] I think I will try to restart [15:27] Hi, I have 3 crypted fs and want just 1 to be mounted at startup. That works with noauto in fstab, but it asks for the password at startup and not when I wanna mount it. How can I change that? [15:27] nibbler: is there a gui :-) [15:28] hypn0: rightclick on the connection item and then information [15:28] nibbler: so the command i would use would be the same as the one in my fstab essentially? mount -t smbfs //ip/share/ /mnt/point/? [15:28] every time i tryu to update my nvidia driver i get an error that says it appears you are running xserver, you must first close xserver [15:29] how do i close that?

[15:30] LinkOps: /etc/fstab [15:30] yes [15:30] Weez: swap to f1 screen, /etc/init.d/gdm stop, update, /etc/init.d/gdm start [15:30] I tried it once and it failed [15:30] Heh I am in an apple store using their computer so ssh into my server and use irssi, while trying to crash it :P === mbrown009 is now known as MBrown009 [15:30] couldnt boot anymore [15:30] danub_, thats woith ctrl-alt-f1? [15:30] Is it safe to install ubuntu into my flashdisk which still contains files? I'm afraid to use usb-creator because I don't know if it will format the partition first [15:30] yes Weez [15:30] crash what crypt? [15:30] i try again, i think i tried that [15:30] mgolisch: is there anywhere to drop a png of what I see? [15:30] thanks dnaub [15:31] just do a fork bomb, that should crash it pretty quick [15:31] danub* [15:31] np Weez [15:31] what ssh server does the ubuntju gurus in here use? [15:31] ukwiz: http://imageshack.us/ [15:31] openssh-server? [15:31] danub_: openssh? [15:31] Nibbler: what needs to be put into there [15:32] ok thats what i thought, just wanted to see :) [15:32] LinkOps: if the current configuration isnt enough of a hint, try man fstab [15:32] anyone know what the timeout period for a smbfs mount is? 300 seconds? [15:32] Hi, I have 3 crypted fs and want just 1 to be mounted at startup. That works with noauto in fstab, but it asks for the password at startup and not when I wanna mount it. How can I change that? [15:32] Bah, I found this awhile ago, but can't remember what it is I'm looking for... Basically, I'm trying to have a single domain and point to multiple servers based on the subdomain. I believe it was reverse dns look up that achieved, but can't remember. Anyone have any ideas? [15:32] danub_, ctrl-alt-f1 drops me to commandline but when i run the NVIDIAinstaller it gives me an error that your running x server [15:33] Will usb-creator remove all files in the selected partition of my usb drive? [15:33] weird [15:33] How can i find out what channle a connection is on? === LalaLand is now known as StoogeIsAlmostBa [15:33] Hello.I have a weird problem. I installed a new hard drive. Connected it at IDE-0. The other drive at IDE-1 has 2 NTFS partitions for windows. When I boot 8.04 LiveCD I can see both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb with the partition editor. I Installed Ubuntu to the first hard drive but when I boot it doesn't seem to recognize /dev/sdb (I can't see it with partition editor). How can I diagnose this? [15:33] weez, you have to kill the x server [15:34] saint1993. "netstat -a" ? [15:34] when i try to remove nvidia-glx- i get packages have unmet dependencies xserver-xorg- ; and nvidia-glx- is not removed! [15:34] diegorodriguezv: so dows your linux start then? [15:34] i think this can be done by doing the 'sudo /etc/init.dgdm stop' command [15:34] init.d/gdm stop [15:35] yes, I can even boot windows and it recognizes both drives [15:35] diegorodriguezv: start linux and run fdisk -l [15:35] when i try to install xserver-xorg-core, i get confligh with nvidia-glx- . How can i fix this? [15:36] anyone have any idea why a box I just installed intrepid on locks up hard after some random period of time [15:36] gdm stop appears to work for about 10 seconds then it automatically retsarts the server and brings me to the gui login screen [15:36] there's nothing on console to indicate an oops or a panic [15:36] so weird [15:36] ahh [15:36] pondering how to debug it [15:36] yep /dev/sda1 through /dev/sda4 [15:36] ok, well kill it then with a kill -9 [15:36] On my NAS-mount-issue (smb) I tried mount -t cifs. Then I get an error regarding a not found name. So I would like to configure the NAS-Ip to it's (WINS-?) name. I vaguely remember there to be something like route.conf? But I could not find it in /etc... [15:36] currently running memtest86+ to see if its a memory issue [15:36] ok thanks [15:36] 'ps -ef|grep X' [15:37] diegorodriguezv: strange, could be an non-supported controller [15:37] kill the x server [15:37] and the gdm [15:37] if it comesback up before you can update, then just do a init 5. that will stop x from running [15:37] or is it init 3... [15:37] mgolisch: http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/7336/snapshot19wp1.png [15:37] which one only loads the shell? [15:37] !runlevels | danub_ [15:37] yeah i think it is init 5 [15:38] danub_: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [15:38] yeah but, why does the livecd recognizes it... (read/write) [15:38] ok, init 1 then === ubuntu_ is now known as mdj_s [15:38] i m contemplating installing fresh 8.04, after the mess i made with upgrading to 8.10. Any advise?

[15:44] hey, i would like to make a partition on my hard drive, how do i do so, i've never done it before? [15:44] MBrown009: xubuntu is the lite version of ubuntu [15:44] can i ask a bit irrelevant? what is the cost of a simple web page to make. someone asked me to make one for his company and i dont know how much to ask. no flash, just plain html and css [15:44] okay [15:44] but i would wnat to run ubuntu server 8.04 [15:44] MBrown009: check the requirement specs [15:44] on a computer [15:44] ok [15:44] <|MUSE|> danub_: you have to get the gui that looks like winamp for xmms2 [15:44] !ubuntu requirements [15:44] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:45] jrib: do they not have a winamp style player anymore? right now i just have amarok/rythombox, but they are too "bulky" for me [15:45] dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/compiz-wrapper_1%3a0.7.8-0ubuntu4.2~ppa1_amd64.deb (--unpack): [15:45] trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/compiz', which is also in package compiz-core [15:45] !ubuntu_requirements [15:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:45] harvey: did you shutdown firefox and try?

[15:45] in ssh maybe [15:45] danub_: yes, all of the options ubottu gave are similar to winamp. For xmms2, you probably want to install a graphical frontend. Try 'apt-cache search xmms2' [15:46] harvey: and can you play youtube movies? [15:46] if i also uninstalled and then reinstalled [15:46] ok, ill check for the frontends [15:46] yes i can on firefox [15:46] [15:39:52] oh sorry my haz, yes totally <--- include the underscore would ya!

[15:47] i turned the background off for Remote users but I changed it back to show it but it wont come back [15:47] sudobash: thats tricky, you'd have to rename his default wallpaper file to the one you want [15:47] <|MUSE|> donald: ya sure, what you need help with?

[15:51] i am goign to guess that i will not need to install drivers for ubuntu server lts 8.04? [15:51] yeah it's a 60 GB MaXTOR, I don't know the rest [15:51] flo_, and whoever asked for it. its network manager. remove it and install wicd wicd.sourceforge.net for instructions [15:51] evilrick: I think its normally ;) [15:51] my_haz: where do i go on my gnome menu ?

[15:52] iwlist wlan0 scanning returns "no scan results" so i think it's not network manager [15:52] i just can't login to any open wireless. ubuntu can't find any wireless network [15:52] usser: You just need one iso image builder its hardware detection and autoconfiguration its package autobuilder and debian software packages should be available free software here includes only software that may render the system is running easy transition and perfect backwards compatibility with sysvinit were explicit design goals. [15:52] flo_, you have to use sudo [15:52] idbita:So, Am I banned [15:52] usser: yes. it's not a card issue methinks [15:52] ? [15:52] babo, intel drivers in hardy are a bit immature [15:52] how would i login to an open wireless network ? [15:53] babo, did u install backports pacakager?

[15:53] thx anyway [15:53] usser: why ? what would that do for me ? [15:53] flo_, can u pastebin the output of lspci so that i know what card it is exactly [15:54] usser: Mintupdate assigns updates a safetylevel from 1 to 5 based on ubuntu but since version 20 it is exactly. [15:54] nothing12345: its not normal, if I boot into XP and use firefox to view the same site there is no problem [15:54] |MUSE|: So what can i do? [15:54] guys, generally - how do you login to an open wireless connection with ubuntu ? [15:54] babo, backports contains packages from upstream. intel driver is there too, and it is substantially improved. [15:54] hi [15:54] AR242x : 168c:001c [15:54] usser: it's not a card issue. repeat. not a card issue. [15:54] <|MUSE|> donald: sorry, have you sent me the format of your partition yet? [15:55] dmesg | grep kill switch [15:55] babo, is it intel 3945? are u on hardy? it is a driver issue. [15:55] i don't know what it is ^^ [15:55] how do i find out?

[15:56] how do i rsync a folder and preserve the symbolic links structure? [15:56] idbita: No idea what your talking about [15:57] network manager should see ssids? [15:57] this isn't a difficult question. how do i login to a wireless network normally ? [15:57] How can I get "wget" to impose timestamps on files that have already been downloaded. That is, I had used "wget" with timestamped turn off ... so the time is the time-of-download. But, now, I want to use the correct timestamps from the server. Are there any flags that do this? Hard to tell from the manpage. [15:57] How can i find out what channle a network is on? [15:57] yagga: aye [15:57] should see. but doesn't. [15:57] so my trash won't empty itself of these 3 files and only these three files when i right click and hit empty trash - i think its a permissions problem. where can i wipe the trash in sudo/command line?

I've been thinking of running it virtualized with a minimal OS as host so I can just move the disk image to another computer easily to be able switch hardware in a fast and simple way. Is that just dumb and slow, or could that be a good idea? [15:58] evilrick, many ppl have problem with flashplayer and linux ... As far as I know isnt there a answer for this problem.. [15:58] in terminal do sudo iwlist scanning [15:58] nothing12345: There is a cd and to install.

[16:06] does anybody use TWM ? [16:06] flo_, so it did work? [16:06] sudobash, not that i'm aware of [16:06] DeVnOrE: hi, been trying to get logmein.com working, no luck, no i try again with remote desktop viewer, i get 'connection closed' all the time, i enter the ip address of the remote computer... [16:06] <|MUSE|> donald: don't you know the root password? [16:06] just using the standard intel 3945 card. i don't think i'm using ndiswrapper [16:07] maybe... It's seem that it just "tombé en marche" as we say here [16:07] tim167--> i misread you, i thought you meant rdp, the remoted desktop protocol [16:07] ok well did you install your wifi drivers with Hardware Devices [16:07] ? [16:07] is there any new features to have a nice and cool desktop like themes.. ? [16:07] does banshee come with ipod support? [16:07] |MUSE|: would that be my own password, sorry for ssounding so dumn, i'm new to linux so... [16:07] sudobash, intel uses opensource drivers [16:07] JmCourir: ibex? [16:07] tim167 if you have a Remote Desktop Server on the PC you are trying to connect to then you are encountering a firewall issue most likely [16:07] tim167: sounds like a firewall is closing the connection for you. [16:07] <|MUSE|> donald: did you install linux on your computer? [16:08] sudobash, afaik they were detected automatically ? [16:08] <|MUSE|> or someone else [16:08] s/?// [16:08] |MUSE|: yes [16:08] Raylz: I have Intrepid [16:08] <|MUSE|> then is will be your password [16:08] tim167: can you ssh to the box? [16:08] sudobash: ok, how can i get the other person to allow the connection/disable the firewall... ? [16:08] <|MUSE|> go to the terminal type 'sudo gparted' and put in your password [16:08] usser and Evilrick : THX a LOT for your help... I'll try to investigate on what i did for it to work. I don't beleive in magic [16:08] I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10. The install seemed to work fine (I used dist-upgrade) however, when it rebooted, the system took me to the CLI. I realized that the path for kdm in default-display-manger was wrong, so I changed /etc/X11/default-display-manager. Then it complained about the theme not being correct. So, I fixed the THEME key in /etc/default/kdm.d/20_kubuntu_default_settings [16:09] if so then you can try to use the -via option of vncviewer [16:09] However, now, when I try to start X, there is no mouse or keyboard activity, although the keyboard works in the CLI (and Ctrl-Alt-1 works) [16:09] tim167 depends on if it is a router firewall or what... also what OS it is [16:09] DeVnOrE: sorry i dont know how to do that...can you show me ? [16:09] tim167--> can you let me in to your computer? [16:09] I heard I need to install xserver-xorg-input-evdev and -input-synaptic, however when I do that I get the message "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." [16:09] flo_, it was blacklist. I remember cause i was setting ath on someone's eeepc and thats all it takes to make it work on intrepid. [16:09] sudobash: the remote computer is ubuntu intrepid [16:09] So... I run dpkg with those flags, and I get over 200 lines of "dpkg: dependency problems ..." where it complains about a BUNCH of packages being "not configured yet". What could I possibly do to fix this? [16:09] tim167--> can you let me in to your computer? [16:09] n8tuser2: yes sure why not [16:10] tim167--> you may feel sorry later..go ahead establish me an account [16:10] when I try to reconfigure the dependencies that are not configed, It always comes down to dbus, which seems to be missing [16:10] do i need to install drivers for ubuntu if i put it on as a regular OS and not a VM? [16:10] hi [16:10] n8tuser2:can i pm you? [16:10] ok well it is probably a router firewall... [16:10] tim167--> yes [16:10] |MUSE|: the app is not in the applications area [16:10] are there a program to convert jpg,gif, etc to ascii ? [16:11] <|MUSE|> donald: check pm [16:11] babo: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-687606.html [16:11] can anyone please tell me how to use vlc player to watch live tv [16:11] hi. has anyone else experienced problems with skype with Ibex? My webcam is on an acid trip and sound is very bad since upgrading.. [16:11] actually... Babo:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=900752 [16:11] that is your exact problem [16:11] |MUSE|: Sorry but what's pm? [16:12] private message [16:12] Oh yeah [16:12] sorry [16:12] i've got a small problem with mobile broadband: i've added the connection (pretty easy ;-)) and now i want to connect to it- where can i do that?!

So if there is one that will do it will probably be that one. [16:13] <[eXception]> hi [16:13] I have a Grub question... does it use the concept of small mini-drivers to be able to access various oddball storage devices to boot from (e.g., SD card readers on the PCI bus)? Or can it only boot devices where the BIOS provides "int 13" support? [16:14] <[eXception]> what was the name of the package to open shell in any folder of file explorer? [16:14] mikeyfocus, so add that extension [16:14] datta: there is a tutorial for it google i was able to watch cnn international [16:14] hello i cant acess my desktop because in my language is written like this "Área de Trabalho". I already tried "cd Área/de/trabalho" but it seems that this isn't the solution for my problem. Any help? [16:14] mikeyfocus: just install php5-mysql - that should be enough [16:14] cisne, thanks :D [16:14] fbc: ok thx I will check it out again [16:14] omg guys Ubuntu 8.10 is became CPU eater :S [16:14] DerUnbenannte, yeah I have done that, but the instructions I had told me to uncomment that line [16:15] cisne, mplayer has asci [16:15] try it ;-) [16:15] [eXception]: nautilus-open-terminal [16:15] <[eXception]> thx fde [16:15] alright i'll go give it a try [16:15] usser, yes, but can mplayer open png, gif?

[16:17] LjL, i'll try that [16:17] Grrr I wish this 8.10 upgrade worked right [16:17] is there a channel for it ? [16:17] why would chamuscas join #ubuntu-br while speaking perfect english and having a very legitimate ubuntu problem? [16:17] what is the best ubuntu forum for support? [16:17] G__81--> try #ubuntu+motu [16:17] usser, cool, and can I export ASCII to a text file? [16:17] G__81: #ubuntu-admin I believe [16:17] pgib: the official forums are at http://www.ubuntuforums.org [16:17] the official forum [16:18] G__81: #ubuntu-motu would be if you want to do some packaging... nothing to do with infrastructure... [16:18] LjL, it didn't work :) and tks for the support [16:18] pgib: or just search on google and append "in ubuntu" the result is usually the official forums. [16:18] chamuscas, what directory are you in right now? (in the terminal) [16:18] datta: | http://www.ghacks.net/2008/11/04/watch-cnn-live/ [16:18] DeVnOrE, Yeah I basically did that.. I got ubuntuforums but didn't know if it was official [16:19] LjL, the normal one, how is it called, Personal area ? [16:19] I coudn't find any help with my problem though on google. [16:19] chamuscas, what it's called in the GNOME desktop doesn't matter to the terminal. it's called the "home" directory, and it's at /home/yourusername. it can be abbreviated as "~" [16:19] cisne, nope cant open a picture [16:19] chamuscas: so try "cd ~/*rabalho" [16:19] LjL, tank you that's ir [16:20] doesnt anybody know how to connect a mobile broadband conenction? bluetooth and the other stuff is configured. i just need a connect-button ;-) [16:20] hey channel, pulled out a box i had on my shelf for a few months, fired it up....forgot the root password....there something easier then reinstalling? it's a 300/96, hate to loose 2 hrs to install.. [16:20] cisne, but just for kicks to play video in ascii in mplayer. mplayer -vo aa videofile [16:20] Is it possible to stop the sound from just one application? [16:20] sdlwof: boot into recovery mode (also, ubuntu doesn't have a root password by default, and using one is discouraged) [16:20] usser, Yes. I've tried. cool... [16:20] if the application has it's own volume control [16:20] do you think it might be a good idea to rerun the dist upgrader? [16:20] sdlwof: you can find recovery mode in your GRUB menu, which shows up if you hit Esc just before the boot process starts [16:20] how well does hardware sata-raid work on ubuntu? [16:21] right on thanks [16:21] sdlwof: there you can change your password with the "passwd" command [16:21] LjL, you know the problem is that when i tipe "cd Área de Trabalho" he only recognizes the first word [16:21] Is there a way to restrict the amount of memory firefox can take up? At the moment, it's taking up 51.7% MEM with half a dozen tabs... [16:21] Aperculum, hardware raid is independent of software and OS, so unless you use any specific software for it, it will work just fine. [16:21] ryanakca, how much ram you have in your pc? [16:21] Aperculum, why not go for software raid [16:21] hischild: 512MB [16:22] chamuscas: that's because you can't use spaces in filenames like that. try "cd Área" then hit the TAB key, it should autocomplete (if you are in the right directory) [16:22] try Área then press tab [16:22] chamuscas: cd Àrea\ de\ Trabalho [16:22] LjL, i did it [16:22] ryanakca, tank you :) [16:22] chamuscas: you need to ``escape the spaces'' :) [16:22] Shubbar, because hardware is faster? [16:22] Aperculum, not always. Besides, linux software raid has more options [16:22] chamuscas: filenames containing spaces can be spelled inside "quotation marks", or using "\ " for the spaces. but if you use TAB, you don't really have to care about that [16:22] another question, how can i stop gdm from starting up? i want my system to boot like ctrl+alt+f1 console style [16:22] please help Ineed toconnect to ubuntu spanish channel [16:22] ryanakca, i used '*' [16:23] !es | carlos_ [16:23] carlos_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [16:23] I have a big problem with ubuntu 8.10 ... my firefox crash when I am looking at youtube videos [16:23] Aperculum, how expensive is it? [16:23] bye bye [16:23] thanks LjL [16:23] doesnt anybody know how to connect a mobile broadband conenction? bluetooth and the other stuff is configured. i just need a connect-button ;-) [16:23] someone know how to solve that? [16:23] Shubbar, on my motherboard :) [16:24] hmmm i have never tried mobile broadband and ubuntu [16:24] http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+mobile+broadband+8.10&btnG=Google+Search&aq=2&oq=ubuntu+mobile+broa [16:24] grr... so I think the dist upgrade must have been interrupted. Unfortunately, do-release-upgrade says "No new release found." I can't dpkg --configure any packages because they end up depending on dbus, which seems to be uninstalled. But I can't reinstall dbus because of all the non configured packages. Hooray! I love cycles === StoogeAlmostBack is now known as Stooge [16:24] sudobash: please don't give google pages as support [16:25] DerUnbenannte: have you checked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup ? [16:25] When I press the mute button on my keyboard, and i get the icon on the screen showing the sound is muted... but it isn't [16:25] sudobash: i asked google. it just tells me how to set up the connection [16:25] Shubbar, integrated [16:25] Aperculum, raid 2 or 5? [16:25] pgib: in /etc/apt/sources.list ... just change the instances of the old dist name to the new one... and if you have anything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ do the same thing... then try sudo aptitude dist-upgrade again === StoogeAlmostBack is now known as Stooge [16:25] 1 or 0 [16:25] yes. the dialup is working fine via wvdial, but there must be a "connect"-button somewhere in the network-manager - and i cant find something like that [16:25] pgib: actually, just sudo aptitude full-upgrade these days [16:26] verizon broadband or what? [16:26] DerUnbenannte: actually there isn't, as Network Manager doesn't deal with (or know about) modem-style connections [16:26] |MUSE|: i'm back [16:26] hi i got a problam on ubuntu i can't make my wireless work, it seems like it can't find wirelesss metorks in range but it can't connect to any even with passwords [16:26] how do i remove that thing on xterm when i type a name of a program that doesnt exist, it waits a lot then tell me i should install it [16:26] xjkx: command-not-found [16:26] LjL: so it just configures the device for me? [16:26] i want to make a raid 5 file server [16:26] DerUnbenannte: but you can certainly add icons to the panel that call "pon" and "poff" to enable and disable the connection, for instance [16:26] jrib: errm, eh ? [16:26] DerUnbenannte: it configures network cards, not modems [16:27] xjkx: that's the package that does it. Just remove it [16:27] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963529 [16:27] for mobile BB [16:27] that might help [16:27] ok, ill have a look at that, thank you [16:27] hi everyone [16:27] jrib: THanKS [16:28] winterelf: please do: sudo iwconfig [16:28] fde, will try [16:28] Shubbar, my motherboard is supposed to have hardware sata raid 1 or 0 integrated [16:28] hi there guys, I have a major problem here, and about 2 hours of googling has been no help whatsoever [16:28] I have 2 PCs, PC-A and PC-B, PC-A can ping PC-B, but PC-B can't ping PC-A. They are both on the same subnet, and they can both ping and be pinged by PC-C, any idea what could be wrong? [16:28] remotec: Hi again..... You helped me with the problems on login earlier.... Error - log in with failsafe session? [16:28] Aperculum, mine too [16:28] vinaduro_: is PC-A using Windows (XP or later)? [16:29] fde, yeah... same problem.. "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a" [16:29] it says you might have to connect with the Mobile BB card with a windows OS first before trying it on Linux (on the same PC of course) [16:29] Shubbar, how does it work? [16:29] but.. that fails [16:29] nope, all three PCs are kubuntu LjL [16:29] remotec: I tried what you said and when I click on OK it just goes back to the prompt again of the users [16:29] hey, is there anyway to unlock a pdf in linux? [16:29] Aperculum, but raid 1 uses only 50% , raid 5 uses 75% with 4 hdd [16:29] I need to reorganize my image keyword (iptc) database. that means moving tags around and rewriting them to the image metadata. any apps you would recommend for this? [16:29] vinaduro_: pretty weird... if PC-C were the router, then i could understand it, but the fact that A can ping B but not vice versa would still be awkward [16:29] dmulholland: what do you mean unlock? [16:30] Aperculum, didn't use it yet [16:30] hmph [16:30] I'll figure it out [16:30] sudobash : it find wlan0 [16:30] vinaduro_: the only thing i can think of is that B doesn't have the correct route to A, check with "route"... [16:30] yeah I know LjL, there are other PCs on the same subnet, and they can all ping/access each other, it's just this one PC that cannot ping this one other PC [16:31] LjL, is it? i thought it was possible to silently ignore all pings. even on ubuntu you can do it with firestarted/iptables. [16:31] but they are on the same subnet LjL [16:31] winterelf: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [16:31] usser: well yes but if he had it configured that way, i'd figure he'd know [16:31] fde, fun. huh? [16:31] aperculum, what brand of mb? [16:32] vinaduro_ you might need #networking... Is this setup with a router or switch? [16:32] LjL, when I open it with photoshop it complains about being a locked pdf and I want to edit it (i'm thinking it might be easier to unlock in linux...) [16:32] any channel for f-spot support? [16:32] ciao [16:32] sudobash: switch [16:32] anyone a clue why firefox looks so ugly in hardy heron ....webcontrols suck... radiobuttons with grey frame [16:32] I'll try networking thanks [16:32] Hi can anyone please help me? When I boot my computer up comes an error ... The Gnome session manager was unable to read the file ..... The login with the failsafe session etc., How can I resolve this? [16:32] that might be the problem...

[16:33] Ie got a problem with base-files. It now has an update and itś doing a `find` command somewhere, and is now complaining about infinite loops in symbolic links. It looks like its just following the links. Any ideas? [16:33] fde, AHHA! I had to manually start dbus for some reasons [16:33] Is there a way to restrict the amount of memory firefox can take up? At the moment, it's taking up 51.7% MEM with half a dozen tabs... [16:34] now the reconfigure worked [16:34] weeee [16:34] Any help with boot up? An error comes up login with failsafe session.

[17:10] so the installation is still scanning for mirror [17:10] How can i change my screen resolution and save it? the screen resolution wont detect my displays and the nvidia x server config wont save it after reboot [17:10] why is it always scanning mirror [17:10] TalkSoup: sounds like the repository doesn't have the lpia stuff [17:10] konner start nvidia-settings as root and save changes [17:10] TalkSoup: try a different repo [17:10] Hello, I have a poblem, ubuntu don't load, stay loadins since I intalled ndiswrapper [17:10] erUSUL: well i dont think that did it either ... it gave me the same xorg.conf file as i had before ... and did not ask me about anything other than keyboard settings [17:11] can someone help me === Strych9 is now known as [sic] [17:11] erUSUL: so do you have any idea what it means if the dmesg output doesn't change?

[17:12] ok [17:12] [eXception] you can tehoreticaly make a script that copys the files you run into /tmp and then +x them execute and delete em .... but that will be an overkill i think [17:12] ive done that [17:12] Guest80101: when you boot up, for a moment, you should see a menu which you can select Ubuntu by moving the selection with the down arrow key. [17:12] oo [17:12] supermank17: maybe that is not thwe correct driver... try with "sudo modprobe eepro100" [17:13] tyvm [17:13] Jmmg0008: "ubuntu don't load" that helps a lot. [17:13] supermank17: sometimes my google-fu fails XD [17:13] this is what happne [17:13] [eXception]: no idea... good luck though. [17:13] can i switch back that way too?

[17:15] lol [17:16] seriously though, you will find less polish in areas, you will find things that may take time, and you will find many capabilities that we've enjoyed for years and which won't even be in Windows 7 [17:16] Can someone help me?

[17:19] supermank17: something seems very fishy here... [17:19] Justizin: what ? [17:19] Just a really quick question, i was running, the intrepid beta a few weeks ago and still have that cd, if I do an install off it now, it should upgrade fine? [17:19] UnknownUSSR: errr; no problem? [17:19] don't feel bad, it's extremely common. it was clear to me that radsouthern wanted to set up an irc server after some thought.. [17:19] aatk: should. [17:19] supermank17: report that error to launchpad make a bug report against the kernel [17:19] this kneejerk sort of pushing folks away is really bad for the free software community.. [17:20] Jmmg0008: I'm busy helping someone else. [17:20] well im wondering what all i need because i have no problems setting up the server but the chan ops and services stuff [17:20] hello [17:20] do you got any info on that? [17:20] Justizin: take your preaching else where - if he wants to setup and network thats nothing to do with ubuntu, if he wants help with the software - thats what we are here for [17:20] Ashfire908: ok, thanks you very much [17:20] ssmy, do I read "should" as probably or go download the latest iso and make a new cd? [17:20] will wybi be alot slower than normal? [17:20] radsouthern: if you open synaptic and search for "irc" you'll find multiple irc daemons, select the one you want to use, then we can look into setting it up [17:20] metbsd, yes [17:21] bazhang, why [17:21] erUSUL: I really don't know why this isn't working; the card did work (its the first card I had installed).

[17:21] whats the best server to use last time i used a ircd irc2 server [17:21] aatk: as probably. At worst you should have to change the sources and suffer a long update. [17:21] whats the best [17:21] ssmy, cheers, I'll give it a shot :) [17:21] supermank17: well it looks that maybe the too cards are fighting for the same i/o space. the one that get it first wins [17:22] radsouthern: thats subjective, I suggest you do a little research and find out which one suits you best [17:22] Evening all. I have a strange problem with an nvidia nForce network controller. Under windows I have to set the speed/duplex settings manually to 100mb/s (half or full duplex) for it to work with my router. if its left to auto-negotiate, it won't talk to the router. -How can I set this on the ubuntu 8.04 livecd? I need backup my system before I install [17:22] radsouthern: it took a bit of work, but I liked ircd-hybrid [17:22] supermank17: is a kernel bug imnsho and should be reported [17:22] ikonia: call me preachy, i'm just saying that only by not reading and processing what radsouthern said are you flooding the channel with kneejerk reaction and risking that thoughtful, intelligent folk like myself have more trouble helping. it's anti-productive and i'd prefer that you not do it. offtopic is offtopic, "how do i host irc" is very relevant to ubuntu if you work under the consideration that the person probably came here [17:22] are using ubuntu.

[17:23] Jmmg0008: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [17:23] splintacouk: yes. The ubuntu installer will set it up for you.

Is thsi really an option? http://www.michaellarabel.com/?k=blog&i=116 [17:42] She's too far waway for me to help except pver phone [17:43] nomad411, what is that blog post [17:43] remotec, rhythmbox is works terribly for me :( [17:43] nomad411, the migration assistant helps you to automatically move your settings from common windows programs to ubuntu ones... but that's all it does [17:44] nice1: I am using a PS3 sixaxis [17:44] nomad411: it won't help with the installation itself (which is not difficult, but can be if you're very non-technical) or any issues that the system may have with ubuntu [17:44] I have a serious problem. My xserver won't start, dpkg won't work so I cannot use my laptop decently [17:44] erUSUL: done [17:44] nomad411: has she tried out an Ubuntu live CD on her computer already?

[19:17] kitche : this is what i am getting 12:47TOPIC Not enough parameters [19:18] Dracey: what exactly do you have in mind? [19:18] sysrpn, not sure if it has what you want, but there's a media center version of ubuntu called mythbuntu i think [19:18] Dracey: i have any idea [19:18] NoIdeaMan: It makes it dependant upon windows being working right before you can use it [19:18] can i delete /var/log folder files ???? [19:18] genii: Windows works fine atm [19:18] How would I remove every file that starts with aoeui but doesn't have 1.2-1 in its file name? (ex: aoeui_1.0-1.dsc ) [19:18] hmw: take a file from windows and copy it on to Linux for the use of Wine [19:19] instead of reinstalling that program which i want to use on linux [19:19] anybody knows about wireless sniffer [19:19] speaking of mythbuntu make sure your capture cards are fully supported by it [19:19] MHz128: I'm using wpa with a realtek 8187 and a D-Link atheros based external card, Airplus G DWL-630 [19:19] #strawhat@otakubox.com [19:20] blackpearl: well you can see if the logs link is here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC [19:20] http://www.mythbuntu.org/requirements [19:20] NoIdeaMan: With true dual-boot if one operating system fails utterly, you can still use the other one. But not with wubi method [19:20] Dracey - usually you should be able just to browse to your windows drive. maybe you didnt name your windows drives, so you will have to find them by some cryptic name, e.g. sda1 in "Places/Computer" [19:20] it helps to put a # in front of each line in etc/network/intefaces to get network manager on intrepid working with them all, instead of just eht0 (dhcp) ? [19:20] genii, ndiswrapper? what driver for 8187? [19:20] hmw: how should i be able to access my windows drive? [19:21] Dracey: ubuntu can access them by default [19:21] MHz128: rtl8187 [19:21] genii: so... i should stop Wubi download..and download iso? [19:21] genii, I have the same card! what brand is the card? mine is Alfa. [19:21] hmw: Im on Ubuntu and I dont see any windows drives.. [19:22] how do I make a USB to Serial Convertor (PL-2303) work on Xubuntu [19:22] MHz128: Mine is internal to my laptop, lspci reports it as made by RealTek [19:22] Dracey: did you boot from the LiveCD or is your ubuntu installed onto the hard disk? [19:22] NoIdeaMan: It's up to you. But true install instead of wubi is my recommendation [19:22] genii, do you have any connection problems with the 8187? mine connects fine and the drops the connection soon after... [19:23] what is a really good/decent media center software package for ubuntu? something which allows you to nicely browse through an play movies on you hd, watch videos streams, and listen to interne t radio? [19:23] i hate windows, linux and mac [19:23] what do i do? [19:23] mythbuntu question: can you receive/record tv from a satellite set top box? [19:23] hey, is there anyway to create a banner type document in openoffice, I am doing a science fair project and I need the tittle to be pretty big. I asked in open office but nobody is answering, wanted to try my luck here [19:23] RITN: Become a luddite? ;) [19:23] MHz128: Mine cuts out from overheat after about 2 hours === SwirlBoy39_ is now known as SwirlBoy39 [19:23] genii: if i dont like Ubuntu ( i prob will like it though) how do i delete it? [19:24] MHz128: Thats why I have the external [19:24] genii, cool, usb works good? [19:24] hmw: Ahh! I found it [19:24] hmw: Yup..my program files folder is here [19:25] NoIdeaMan: You use from windows a disk partitoner to reclaim the space it took on your drive, and then use repair MBR feature of windows boot cd to remove GRUB [19:25] MHz128: The other is a PCMCIA, it works well, yes [19:25] ? im lost [19:25] is it possible to install and wine temporarily on a live session? [19:25] hmw: Do I have access to them from here ? [19:25] install and use* [19:26] when I backup the following folders: var/, home, usr/local, /etc, will I have all programs and settings as before after formatting? === ssd7 is now known as Guest1061 [19:26] hmw: well I can see them but i cant access the .exes... [19:26] genii, are either of the band N? [19:26] is it possible to install and use wine on a livecd session? [19:27] hmw: for one of my games it says "Installation files not found [19:27] Dracey: you should have full access. but many programs need to be "installed" - meaning, they have to be configured and squeezed into the operating system. you can instert CDs and start the setup like in windows, if you have wine installed already. So called "Portable" apps run without an install process, you can just doubleckick .exe files in these cases. [19:27] NoIdeaMan: When you instal from cd and not wubi, the operating system requires a portion of the hard drive to operate in. This is called a partition. It also needs a boot loader , which is called GRUB. [19:27] MHz128: Not that I know of [19:27] hmw: I have wine [19:27] ok i understand that [19:27] I have windows Xp pro installed inside QEMU. but for some reason it not seeing my netowrk. what do I need tot do? [19:28] hmw: double clicking aim.exe does nothing [19:28] MHz128: I have another PCMCIA which is N but required ndiswrapper for linux, and does not work well [19:28] Dracey: Notepads runs in wine. Try to find your C: drive, go into the WINDOWS folder, find notepad.exe and tell me, if it pops up. [19:28] is it possible to run a .exe file in a livecd session? [19:28] genii, damn! do you know of any compatible N cards for linux? [19:29] :) [19:29] NoIdeaMan: So that if you decide later to remove it, you need to reclaim the partition for windows again, and to remove the bootloader GRUB [19:29] luddiW00T [19:29] fdkjflkjsd [19:29] MHz128: Not yet [19:29] hmw: Yes notepage opened [19:29] How i reclaim it? [19:29] theo: You can install packages into the livecd.eg: wine [19:30] NoIdeaMan: With the Manage Computer part of windows, where you format new hard drives, etc [19:30] hmw: and I opened a web brower i had on windows too [19:30] Dracey: your install of AIM seems to need the full "install process", so you cant simply start it. You can install it anew into the simulated wine-windows-system. its the same, as if you tried to just copy the program folder of you AIM to another windows pc, whic wouldnt run eithre [19:31] hmw: so i will need to reinstall those programs? [19:31] hmw: on ubuntu...alright then [19:31] Dracey: if you want to "share" apps between wine and your native windows, go to portableapps.com and use these stuff. [19:31] genii: i've tried to follow the install instructions, but always when trying to actually install wine, i have missing dependancies [19:31] alright [19:31] The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine: Depends: ia32-libs (>= 1.6) but it is not installable Depends: lib32nss-mdns (>= 0.10-3) but it is not installable Recommends: wine-gecko but it is not installable [19:32] Dracey: think of your WINE as of a new PC with its own windows. Act according to this. If youre lucky, the programmers made some stuff "independent" or a "Portable" version of that app has been released. [19:32] theo: This is 64bit then. So install those packages first before trying wine install [19:32] !thgir krow tnseod draobyek ym pleh [19:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:32] is there a command to install all wine dependancies needed? [19:32] theo: apt-get install [19:32] seahorse-agent is for ssh and gpg key caching right? [19:32] theo: The issue is 64bit and wine is 32bit [19:33] theo: So you require ia32-libs (at least) and probably also as it states lib32nss-mdns [19:33] Dracey try Pidgin (already installed in your ubuntu) as an alternative to AIM [19:33] does anyone have any idea why my laptop won't burn bootable cds no matter what app I use? [19:33] pidgin is the [insert cuss word here that means good thing] [19:34] genii: lib32nss-mdns comes up with Package lib32nss-mdns is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package lib32nss-mdns has no installation candidate [19:34] subone: maybe the cds are bootable, but your notebook doesnt want to boot? check BIOS boot sequence and "boot other drive" and try to boot the cd on another machine [19:35] !info lib32nss-mdns [19:35] Package lib32nss-mdns does not exist in intrepid [19:35] Looks like some external package [19:36] btw, can i get Times New Roman font on Linux? [19:36] Dracey yes [19:37] what is the font folder? [19:37] i have ssh-agent running with my key added, yet, every time i try to access something over ssh in nautilus, it asks me to unlock my key. what am i doing wrong?

[20:28] macjason0607: aptitude [20:28] no [20:28] paul68: I don't think it's a distro problem.. more of a "creative being bad people"-problem [20:28] w00t: maybe it will for you, you can try and roll back if its no good [20:28] not under 8.10 [20:28] i mean shae in the first place [20:28] ok [20:29] share a sambashare via nfs [20:29] bob_: how did you install? [20:29] upgrade? === maxbaldwin is now known as grubby [20:29] no [20:29] fresh off cd [20:29] what should i goet synaptic or aptitude ? [20:29] get* [20:29] bob_: did you test the cd? [20:30] i dont think so [20:30] Jagged, if i get synaptic where should i install it to ? my home directory or what ? [20:30] i will test now [20:30] bob_: it's a good idea [20:30] but if it installed i think it;s ok [20:30] ok i did that [20:30] Slart: lol ok but are there distros arround that don't react as painfull to creatives cards? [20:30] macjason0607: you dont have to choose, it goes where it goes [20:31] i dunno who gave me the suggestion but lets see if it works [20:31] i found it [20:31] Hello. After doing some skinning and graphical customization i can no longer login. I get the error that the file ICEauthority can't be updated and it refuses to log me in. Attempting to make the home directory writable have failed, as has removing the file. [20:31] yea it its under system [20:31] sorry guys first day on ubuntu [20:31] ehat tool can i use to convert a wmv file ? [20:31] paul68: you can run ubuntu with a x-fi card.. but there are no drivers available.. afaik there is only windows drivers available [20:31] convert to xvid [20:31] macjason0607: thats just the binary, there are files for it all over the place [20:31] paul68: so.. the only distro that can use x-fi cards would be.. windows =/ [20:32] i can tell you that the cd varified ok when i burned it [20:32] Slart: that was not an option lol [20:32] bob_: i think the cd is ok [20:32] paul68: there are supposed to be some beta-drivers from creative.. last time I checked they only supported oss but things might have changed since then [20:32] ddgoose, how would one run jackd and jackrack [20:32] if it installed without errors [20:32] Slart: those are a pain to install aswell [20:33] when buiilding from source, is there any particular place the package needs to be so it finds all it's dependencies? in my home folder gnome-voice-control-0.3 can't find certain packages that synaptic says are in fact installed. [20:33] bob_, does this livecd work [20:33] paul68: be sure to tell creative that when you email them to complain [20:33] Slart: the drivers I mean [20:33] as in do you see a desktop [20:33] :) [20:33] paul68: you can use xfi but you need to do a LOT of compiling from what ive seen [20:33] yes [20:33] good question [20:33] :) [20:33] GeorgeAScott: sudo apt-get install build-essential [20:33] LordMetroid they all pinged well http://paste.ubuntu.com/76084/ however only google lets me connect using the browser [20:34] i think so too, it installed without errors. i formated the partition that the system installed to. It boots to the logon screen and once the credentials are entered, it goes to a plain screen and freezes [20:34] ActionParsnip: thats what is keeping me from doing it lol not that familiar with ubuntu yet and especially not with compiling [20:34] ActionParsnip: i did that, but will try again [20:34] GeorgeAScott: that gives you the compiler + libs, you will need to install the libs of the software you are compiling, yourself [20:34] hello all. a friend of mine has been trying Ubuntu on this machine of his, and he had these interesting results: ubuntu 7.10 (live) would boot just fine, and he could use without problems. ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10, though, would boot to a black screen. this was a big annoyance for him because those were the wubi-enabled versions and would have spared him a lot of hassle to install it. after a debugging session we managed to nail down the problem: his monitor su [20:34] pports resolutions up to 1600x1200, and refresh rates up to 85, but it doesn't support 1600x1200@85. the interesting part is that nv knows that 1600x1200@85 is NOT supported by the monitor, both in 7.10 and in 8.10, but in 8.10 it goes on to select that mode anyway, resulting in a black screen. [20:34] paul68: there are guides everywhere [20:34] is anyone here familiar with enabling "Vsync" on a Intel 956G graphics chipset?? [20:34] bob_: as simongmzlj asked, can you use the live cd? [20:35] its booting now [20:35] bob_, also is this your first boot from the fresh install? [20:35] tango_: try booting in safe graphics mode [20:35] if his user account is set to use a resolution lower than 1600x1200@85, he can use it just fine, but gdm starts at that wrong resolution so he has to blind-type his login in [20:35] it booted to the install section of the cd fine [20:35] bob_ alternative or desktop? [20:35] ActionParsnip: you are right my friend however these tent to give also error messages so thats running out of options to :-( [20:35] OpenBSDRulzs, there's actually no need for safe graphics mode, he can use 1600x1200@75 or 1280xwhatever@85 [20:35] bob_: check if the cd boots to the desktop [20:35] what is the "right" way to add something to the path for all users? [20:35] why would grub-probe fail even if device.map is correct? [20:35] OpenBSDRulzs, the problem is that the server selects a method that the video driver KNOWS the monitor does not support [20:35] OpenBSDRulzs, is this a known xorg bug? [20:36] its loading now [20:36] i installed pysdm, but it shows sda1 and sdb1, but not sda2. where is it gone? [20:36] ajw123: I believe /etc/bashrc [20:36] ActionParsnip: "build-essential is already the newest version" [20:36] hmw_: run sudo fdisk -l [20:36] I don't know, tango_. I'll report back. [20:36] bob_ is it an alternative live cd? [20:36] GeorgeAScott: then you have the compiler, you ned to satisfy deps yourself [20:36] im trying to rules out video problems [20:37] lard-vader: that's traditionally how you do it, but it's all debianized [20:37] GeorgeAScott: thats why apt-get is great as it satisfys deps [20:37] simongmzlj: don't think so, he said it booted to the install [20:37] giddythesecond: hmm, strange, utterly strange [20:37] ActionParsnip that doesnmt make pysdm see the other partitions [20:37] ActionParnsip: but synaptic says they are installed already [20:37] install section [20:37] i need a multi page TIF reader for ubuntu hardy... ideas? [20:37] it seems that there'd be some cool way to add path entries such that you don't pollute the system installed bashrc and profile [20:37] giddythesecond: They all exept google timeout in the browser? [20:37] i dont think so, its the mainstream one [20:38] hmw_: it will output your partitions that ubuntu can see === Guest38736 is now known as carlos_pozo [20:38] ajw123: have you tried googling? [20:38] yes. [20:38] WHO TOLD ME ABOUT PYSDM? [20:38] bob_, ok [20:38] i wasn't happy with what i found [20:38] that's why i want the "right" way [20:38] Ah [20:39] adding stuff to systemwide path is a path well trodden [20:39] and i'm sure there's some cool way to do it [20:39] but i can't find anything [20:39] LordMetroid yeah any of google's sites will load gmail google docs etc will load (usualy slow, but now always) while no other sites wont, not even update manager works [20:39] try booting, pressing ctrl+alt+f1 [20:39] log in there [20:39] and see if still freezes [20:39] tango_: nope? I don't know. [20:40] ActionParsnip i want the other partitions to be automounted. putting them in /fstab causes troubles with acces rights, and then i tried a gui app for doing so, butthis one only sees the #1 partitions [20:40] OpenBSDRulzs, ok, thanks anyway. do you know if there is some config option that can be manually inserted in the xorg.conf to prevent a video mode? [20:40] Anyone, what could be giddythesecond problem? I simply have no clue [20:40] bob_, if that doesn't work, then the problem is big, if not, its just within X [20:40] ajw123: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=969 [20:40] with all the cool debian stuff like the /etc/alternatives infrastructure, i would have thought that there'd be something cool for adding local path elements [20:41] Sorry giddythesecond, I don't understand what could be wrong [20:41] anyone good with dosbox ???????????????? [20:41] tango_: report this problem on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu [20:41] bash_lover whats up?

[20:53] hmw_, ok how do i launch it, theres your question [20:53] bash_lover what is the problem? untar it, put it to dosbox' hd folder and start the program. if it is a win95 program, you should use WINE or virtualbox [20:53] genii, i have also tried to set the proper permissions that i've read so far (home folder ownd by own user, chmod to 644) or remove the file to be recreated with proper permissions. None have been succesful so far.

What soundcard / soundchip are you using? Have you set your sound to alsa? Go to system->preferences->sound.

Not sure what the state is now [21:19] Well basically my problem is that DMA switches from udma5 to udma2 after an I/O error with a file, I want to stop it from switching to a slower speed, I could care less if the file is corrupt.

[21:34] "Error 379 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 31946 hours (1331 days + 2 hours)" [21:34] Getting close to that 1337 days milestone :P [21:34] Hello, I'm having some problems with samba shares on ubuntu 8.10. Or actually the sharing is working very wel, by just enabling sharing via the filemanager. But now to the tricky part, I can not share the name with upper case and lower case in the share-name, all chars are auto-magically converted to lowercase. This would not be a problem if i did not have much information in the network dependent on the previously use [21:35] !kde is better? [21:36] (EE)fglrx(0):unknown EDID version 0 [21:37] Peppe80iii: do you want samba share names that are case sensitive? (i think they aren't!) [21:37] I originally encrypted a bz2 archive under Gnome with PGP. What do I need to install in order to decrypt it under K? [21:37] anyone know y i get this on startups and need to run default [21:37] bobertdos: nothing if you actually use the command line [21:37] 40 51 08 f4 92 d0 e4 Error: UNC at LBA = 0x04d092f4 = 80777972 [21:37] kitche: Using which commands? [21:37] yes exactly, i want to have the names i type in the "create share gui" to be the names "seen" on the network [21:38] bobertdos: pgp --decrypt I believe I don't usually use pgp for files anymore [21:38] Can anyone help me with ripping dvd's with vlc? [21:38] bobertdos: you need for example gpg, and the correct key (private key or password or both) [21:38] hi all i just moved from windows xp to ubuntu, i knew there would be be a difference with text font when browsing, but there seems to be a lot of issues with sites - is there a way to fix this? [21:38] oskar-: Yes, I know, I just didn't know the syntax, thanks. [21:39] ok [21:39] you might want to try dvd::rip stapel [21:39] stapel: yes, dvdrip is a killer application for that [21:39] (EE)fglrx(0):unknown EDID version 0 [21:40] So, any ideas? [21:40] what does the +0+0 string in 1920x1080+0+0 signify in xorg and compiz? anyone, thanks [21:40] schon30: try to install the package msttcorefonts [21:40] that might help [21:40] alexex: and just set all my font options to that font? [21:41] schon30: yup you can install the xp default fonts [21:41] thanks [21:41] Telia seems to be down, anyone ? [21:41] Shited WinXP fu*k my brains ... What do i need to fix this ? [21:41] schon30: for me it was enough to install the package and restart firefox [21:41] cool [21:41] sudo apt-get install xbill [21:41] i dont know, its just an idea :) [21:42] oskar: should the case sensitive stuff go under [accounting] case sensitive = yes... (probably the only otion i hav not tried, so it must be it =) ) [21:42] xbill whats this ? [21:42] a game, try it -_- [21:43] haha, i just got it givin it a go now, die [21:43] : ) [21:43] kitche: Oh boy............Yeah, remind me never to do this again :p [21:44] i bought a new mb that has nvidia 9300 (hdmi) and realtek ALC888 sound, i installed ubuntu and the nvdia drivers i also tried installing the realtek linux drivers but it cant find a sound card and alsa doesnt see it either [21:44] does anyone have a realtek ALC888 working? [21:44] wow that was insanely annoying being sent to #ubuntu-read-topic. i could imaging installing ubuntu (or any linux) for the very first time, having trouble, reading the docs which send you to IRC, only to have to deal with that. really user-friendly. [21:44] kitche: On a related note, what do you like for file encryption? Normally, I use blowfish. [21:44] oskar-: do you know if it is the [accounting] section that should do the trick, just found that i missed that option.. [21:45] I need to dl a package from repos so that I can install it via apt without internet. How do I find all the deps, and where do I dl them and the file? [21:45] Weez: can you post me the output of lspci | grep -i audio [21:45] Peppe80iii: i do not even know that section. has it special meanings? [21:46] Peppe80iii: i think you should not try upper or mixed case share names, because: "Section and parameter names are not case sensitive." (man smb.conf) [21:46] Pilot_51: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html [21:47] finally found it in my browsers' history ;) [21:47] alex i will, it will take a few minutes cause i need to add an irc client to that pc [21:47] how do i make an application open at startup? [21:48] i suppose you will need the snd_hda_intel drivers [21:48] wedgeoflemon: at the startup of what? of linux, of the x session, of a terminal session? [21:48] what are the deps for http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-meta/linux-backports-modules-intrepid? [21:48] hi - Anyone use X-CD-Roast ? - When I start it - complains that needs to be configured 1st by Superuser 1st ? Any idea's ? ? [21:48] i tried dvdrip, but struggled and used vlc in the end. VLC worked for me although the file is not playable with totem, just with vlc. [21:48] wedgeoflemon: system-prefernence-sessions [21:48] oops - linux-backports-modules-intrepid [21:49] freeatlast: start it as root and configure it [21:49] startup programs-add, wedgeoflemon [21:49] where do i go to find the program i want to add? [21:49] should be usr/bin [21:50] OpenBSDRulzs: Thanks - Will try starting from terminal as sudo.

I'm not using gnome [21:53] NoIdeaMan, seriously? use PowerISO when Linux has built in support? [21:53] JmCourir: tsclient to rdp in. you'd also need a way of starting virtualbox on the desktop. you can do that over vnc or ssh [21:53] memeemeee: gqview [21:53] hi. i'm is from brasil. what is brasilian IRC of Ubuntu?

[21:57] redcom7: what card is it ? [21:57] NoIdeaMan:for me it is [21:57] realtek [21:57] redcom7: wired or wirless [21:57] JmCourir: yeah, the remote desktop viewer. rdp is a microsoft protocal [21:58] hmm, fedora installer is way more flexible than ubuntu's :/ [21:58] Aperculum: thats great, but how does that aid a support channel ?

[22:00] Anyone familiar with a way of sharing my music as if it is an iTunes shared library from Ubuntu? [22:01] bustaplz: samba [22:01] quagga: WoW great .. you have answered to all my questions !! Thanks a lot.. I 'll try right away to work with that vbox [22:01] Ubuntu 8.10 network configuration software was not installed by default. Is that a bug? I had no problem fetching it with aptitude [22:01] The bad sector turns out to be on the NTFS partition, which is rather old from when I used XP Home as my server OS (yeah, scary) [22:01] JmCourir: good luck [22:01] quagga: thanks [22:01] and???? [22:01] there should be advanced installer too, or alternate installer should support usb-sticks [22:01] Pilot_51: Wanna talk about it? [22:01] redcom7: try this "sudo mii-tool eth0" and put the output in a pastebin [22:02] :P [22:02] Pilot_51: then you also should do a chkdsk (might be written similar) with sector error detection in windows [22:02] ok i will be back in 5 min [22:02] I'll just say I'm happy I finally got a Linux distro that I didn't break within a few weeks of installing. [22:02] thnx [22:02] ikonia: Are you sure I need samba to share between the two? Seems like I could do it without samba. [22:02] or is there a free ntfs fsck? [22:03] bustaplz: how ? [22:03] bustaplz: NFS for example ? [22:03] Pilot_51: how did you manage to break the previous ones ? :) [22:03] ikonia: don't know, I've used samba a ton, just wondering what the options are [22:03] bustaplz: well, any network sharing service, samba/nfs etc [22:03] Yeah I might as well, good thing I didn't delete the Windows partition, I guess [22:03] ikonia: I only really know samba, and I know enough about linux to know there are always different ways [22:03] Eaah , xbill is somthing ! :) [22:03] bustaplz: those are the two real options [22:04] ikonia: so network sharing isn't really something built into linux? [22:04] bustaplz: there is an NFS server built into the kernel [22:04] ikonia: sorry if that is a stupid question. [22:04] skrvirt: Most of it involved trying to get my video card/monitor to work properly, with refresh rate and such. [22:04] Is ntfs-3g safe for rw usage? [22:04] ikonia: let me google NFS a bit, never read anything about it [22:05] Pilot_51: model's ? [22:05] bustaplz: very simple [22:05] I had a CRT at the time and 60Hz is murdur. [22:05] is there a way to force ubuntu to boot to a commandline without having access to a terminal? i updated my video driver and now it locks up just before i get to the login screen so i have no way to downgrade to the older drivers [22:05] syslq: safer than it has been, but it's still a closed source/revered engineered solution, so there is still a risk [22:05] syslq, yes, it is stable [22:05] Pilot_51: flickering eyes are cool :P [22:05] sheesh [22:06] 8.10 takes forever to download [22:06] ikonia, is ntfs-3g a closed source project? [22:06] Weez: boot to safe mode should help [22:06] icqnumber: no, but ntfs as a file system is [22:06] skrvirt: The card in my server is a 512MB GeForce FX 5700LE with VIVO. [22:06] macjason0607: no, your isp/the isp of the server your using causes that [22:06] Weez: what do you mean with "command line without terminal"? [22:06] I wanted to get the VIVO to work, but no luck there. [22:07] Pilot_51: on vista nvidia updates doesnt seem to work at all [22:07] I didn't want to break Ubuntu this time so I gave up before getting dangerous. [22:07] heh [22:07] skrvirt: That might be one reason I don't use Vista. [22:08] guntbert, how do i do that? i dont ever see a grub window [22:08] Pilot_51: even those who sell it hate it :P [22:08] what are folks using as a gmail notifier in ubuntu these days. i'm tired of keeping a browser page open to it all the time [22:08] don't we have a kickban for mentioning vista here?? [22:08] ikonia, yes, but if developers of the ntfs-3g project say that their stuff has a stable status, do not you believe this? [22:08] =D [22:08] I'm trying to run the Live CD on somebodies computer. It gets to a brown screen and the login sound plays but then a little while later the screen goes black but the cursor stays on the screen. I can move it - but nothing else happens. I also can't switch to a tty... Any ideas? [22:08] icqnumber: the product is stable, the interface to NTFS will never be "stable" as Microsoft consistantly apply patches/updates [22:09] Really as far as I can tell the only reason I still use XP as my primary OS is because I play a lot of games that Wine can't handle. [22:09] Pilot_51: this is a support channel, try to keep chatter to support requests please. [22:09] hi ikonia i am back [22:09] redcom7: ok [22:09] ikonia: Sorry :( [22:09] Weez: you said it locks before you get to login, thats after grub, but in this case i gotta pass :( sorry [22:09] Pilot_51: no need for hat, don't worry, just a heads up [22:09] Hello, I'm looking into use a USB memory stick to run Ubuntu from it, what's the best flavor for it? [22:10] galego: doesn't matter really [22:10] eth0: 10 Mbit, half duplex, no link [22:10] guntbert, yea sorry i wasnt more clear [22:10] just this [22:10] i dont get there [22:10] ikonia, okey, thank you, i follow your point [22:10] how do i run a java webstart file under ubuntu? [22:10] Pilot_51: Yeah, hope they release more games for linux. That wow would be a good start [22:10] MTecknology: then something goes very wrong. perhaps try to switch to one of the vts (or start in single user mode) and look for errors in dmesg or the syslog [22:10] where are the files downlaoded via apt stored? [22:10] .jnlp extension [22:10] Ok so back to the bad block stuff..... [22:10] redcom7: ok, thats interesting, so it looks like the card is there and working, but either the cable it's using or the device it's plugged into is not there [22:10] pozican: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [22:10] redcom7: or broke [22:10] pozican: /var/cache/apt/archives [22:11] thank you for your help [22:11] oskar-: I'm trying safe graphics mode now... [22:11] Flannel: thanks - And this will be where it is if I do a download only option? [22:11] yes but now with windows is ok [22:11] wtf firefox is complaining abou permissions on /tmp [22:11] redcom7: what's it plugged into ? [22:11] ?? [22:11] its s tmpfs not in anyways uful with 1777 [22:11] redcom7: what device is it plugged into [22:12] router [22:12] scientes: don't need to see wtf [22:12] redcom7: and if you reboot into windows now it works %100 [22:12] !language [22:12] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:12] oskar-: You missed the part where i said live cd? [22:12] MTecknology: yes ;) [22:13] ikonia: I need to set my storage drive to auto mount first, I think. For this I need to make an entry in /etc/fstab? [22:13] does anybody here have a Compaq Presario CQ50-110US by any chance? [22:13] bustaplz: very good yes [22:13] oskar-: yup - that works - must be compiz [22:13] its a router and on it a dreambox is this matters? [22:13] if I put the files from apt cache onto another computer - that new computer shouldn't have to redownload those files correct? [22:13] redcom7: I have no idea what a dreambox is [22:13] ikonia: do you know any guides for editting fstab? [22:13] ikonia: it's uncharted territory for me [22:13] bustaplz: use the existing entries as an example, and type "man fstab" for info [22:14] redcom7: if you boot into windows now, it works %100 ? [22:14] yes [22:14] MTecknology: ok ;) for learning it's best to solve problems on ones own. and i should read better ;) [22:14] 100% [22:14] redcom7: is it possible (I don't know your hardware) that the router is not allowing a connection on that port aas it's already assigned to the windows "card" even though it's the same hardware [22:15] redcom7: have you tried a different port on the router [22:15] and the dreambox lan2 ik ok also [22:15] you mean lan1 lan2 lan3 ethernet ??? [22:16] redcom7: any other port [22:16] hey, thanks, Ikonia. can I include some forensic tools from backtrack 3 into it? [22:16] hi, whenever I enable the nvidia driver for my graphics, it seems to suddenly know better than myself and my system and restrict me to 640x480, how can I inform it otherwise so I can actually use resolutions from later than 1995? [22:16] galego: ?? [22:17] what are the commands to start open office , i just installed it but they're not on the menu ? [22:17] Xcerca: it comes with open office pre-installed [22:17] Xcerca: why did you need to install it, it's already there [22:17] let see if i understand you think that is better to reboot the router or just to connect to any other hole the ethernet cable??? [22:17] Does anybody here have a Compaq Presario CQ50-110US [22:17] ikonia to install open office 3 [22:17] redcom7: just plug into another ethernet socket in the router [22:17] shea279: just ask the question [22:18] now i hav e manged to come across another problem, some how i have managed to get rid of the support for writing to my ntfs external disk (i am pretty sure that this worked from the beginning as i used the drive as buckup when i formated the other disks to ext3) For some reason i can no longer write to the external ntfs drive (the only thing i have done is to change some stuff so it is mounted with my account as user i [22:18] Xcerca: where did you get open office 3 ? [22:18] ok [22:18] i removed ubuntu open office [22:18] i will [22:18] Xcerca: normally ooffice, oowriter and so on [22:18] ikonia , google [22:18] Xcerca: you downloaded open office from google ? [22:19] jrib, you alive ? [22:19] i don't remeber the web page , maye openoffice.org [22:19] ubuntu 8.10 comes with Ooo 2.4.1, right? [22:19] when i download the new iso and burn it can i update within ubuntu or should i just do a brand new reinstall ? [22:19] I have a Compaq Presario CQ50-110US and i get a kernel panic every time i try to boot any linux operating system (ubuntu is one of them) [22:19] any ideas? [22:19] Peppe80iii: so you can mount it, but can't write? is it a permission problem? [22:19] now i hav e manged to come across another problem, some how i have managed to get rid of the support for writing to my ntfs external disk (i am pretty sure that this worked from the beginning as i used the drive as buckup when i formated the other disks to ext3) For some reason i can no longer write to the external ntfs drive (the only thing i have done is to change some stuff so it is mounted with my account as user i [22:19] oskar- correct, but oo 3 is out now [22:20] Where is best place to get help with boot problem (Realtek 8139) since ungrade? Was working fine until install of ubuntu 8.10 I'm using Toshiba A70 laptop with 8139. Also won't auto-start firestarter on boot. [22:20] my numpad isnt working now, it did earlier, is this a ubuntu problem? [22:20] !spam | Peppe80iii [22:20] Peppe80iii: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubottu ): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !Caps, !NickSpam, !PM, !English - And most importantly, use common sense... [22:20] Xcerca: yes, that would also be a reason for me to upgrade manually before maybe 9.04 has it [22:20] what I mean is that blacktrack linux has a lot of forensic tools that I need and I'd like to see if I can add such tools to this distribuition. [22:20] !Repeat | Peppe80iii [22:20] Peppe80iii: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [22:20] five is like left clicking [22:20] galego: do you know how to re-package distros ? [22:20] so, anyone know why nvidia's drivers would be deciding to lock my resolution to 640x480? [22:20] Peppe80iii: so you can mount it, but can't write? is it a permission problem? [22:21] seven is moving up to the top left corner [22:21] ikonia: if I just add /dev/sdc1 /media/Storage ntfs to fstab would that work? if I issue #mount I can see the options but I'm not sure how I would add them into fstab [22:21] its like a mouse [22:21] is that a setting? [22:21] is it possile to use wild cards with apt-get or aptitude ? like * ? [22:21] okay, sry just added that it was 8.10, as i have some sort of notion that some ntfs support has changed... [22:21] Xcerca: no [22:21] w00t: maybe it does not detect the monitor correctly? sometimes manually setting the possible frequency ranges helps out of this [22:21] might be from compiz [22:21] I'm sorry, but I don't I'm just using it to repair computers and I'm loving it but I'm a hardware guy, not software, hehe. [22:21] Xcerca: well, with aptitude possibly [22:21] I have a Compaq Presario CQ50-110US and i get a kernel panic every time i try to boot any linux operating system (ubuntu is one of them)--can anyone help me? [22:21] bustaplz: a.) ntfs driver is read only, b.) make sure /media/Storage exists, c.) use uuid's *get them from blockid command* instead of /dev/sdc [22:21] Xcerca: but not just "*", they'd be more complicated anyway (and would only apply to "search", not other commands, i suspect)... check the aptitude manual [22:22] oskar-: I'd find that somewhat odd, as I've been using this monitor without issues from 7.04 upwards. It was even working with 8.10 until I decided to reboot to apply recent upgrades, too (last 10-12 days or so) [22:22] oskar-: if that is the problem, though, I'm still none the wiser as to how to resolve it -- i've no idea at all where to start or what to do [22:22] w00t: what does xrandr show in a terminal [22:23] ikonia: I would use UUID so that if the label changes it still knows what drive to mount? [22:23] thiebaude: http://rafb.net/p/ivhuFf18.html [22:23] guys im aabout to update to 8.10 with a new iso .. should i update within ubuntu or just start fresh ? [22:24] any ideas why my num pad is acting like a mouse? [22:24] #summer [22:24] macjason0607: up to you... i personally like fresh installs... === Karabaja is now known as nikola [22:24] nintendork87: ctrl-shift-numlock or keyboard preferences somewhere [22:24] someone join #summer [22:24] ok so Odd-rationale im going to do a fixmbr to boot into windows .. then just install like i never installed right ? [22:25] in the terminal, i was in a subfolder of my home dir. i opened a new tab and my .bash_profile couldnt be found because the new session was also in the sub dir. is this intended or a bug? [22:25] I have a Compaq Presario CQ50-110US and i get a kernel panic every time i try to boot any linux operating system (ubuntu is one of them)--Can anyone please help me [22:25] Where do I go for boot probs since update to 8.10? [22:25] anyone know how to get xchat-gnome to be minimized in systray? === eric is now known as Guest47317 [22:25] jrib: you haven't yet failed to help me :D [22:26] macjason0607: just install ontop of your existing install.... in the partitioning step, just make sure to leave your windows partiton alone. the installer should detect the window systm and add it to the bootloader. [22:26] "stupid" me installed windows AFTER ubuntu. how do i retore my grub MBR? [22:26] djungelkraem i am installing it. stand by [22:26] !grub | kc8pxy_ [22:26] kc8pxy_: 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 [22:26] hmw_pidgin: installing xchat-gnome to see how? :P [22:26] djungelkraem yes [22:27] my intrepid displays the wrong refresh rate, MRS says i'm at 50 when the monitor says it's at 85. When I installed intrepid (fresh) MRS did report 85. After several reboots, it's at 50. known bug? [22:27] djungelkraem: i don't think you can. but you can use alltray... [22:27] starenka: i think it is some permission i manage to change, since i used it for writing before i fidled around with owner ship for the drive (to be able to share it with samba) [22:27] djungelkraem, hmw_pidgin: i found it too circumcised in comparison with the original [22:27] Odd-rationale: whats that? [22:27] Was the shutdown button removed from the login screen in 8.10? [22:27] djungelkraem: minimize gnome-xchat to tray... [22:27] circumcised? [22:28] Peppe80iii: does writing work w/ sudo? [22:28] oskar- djungelkraem i use pidgin, its quite nice [22:28] kappaccino: maybe the wrong word ;) i used a dictionary ;) [22:28] im installing x-chat standard instead [22:29] yea, that works and integrates well [22:29] djungelkraem: i beleive there was this plugin that was suppose to let you minimized to tray... but i found it rather buggy... [22:29] How am I supposed to shut down/reboot without logging in? [22:29] djungelkraem oops. i thought you meant the non-gnome prog - i'd need to google myself on that [22:29] starenka: i will check, sry a bit of a noob, and... =) [22:29] Can I write the 700MB iso to a DVD instead of a CD? [22:29] Pilot_51: from the login screen? i beleive it is on the lower left corner? no? [22:30] amikrop: i believe you can.... but dvd's are more expensive... [22:30] Peppe80iii: np, me too. well if it works under sudo just chown the dir where you have mounted the disk and chmod it [22:30] i have LILO or whatever that bootloader is installed on the same partition as ubuntu so i have to use the bootmenu to boot from the ubuntu drive. how can i uninstall LILO and install GRUB on the MBR? [22:30] Pilot_51: with the gdm screen or hitting the power button [22:30] amikrop it should work fine... I've done it before [22:30] thiebaude: ping, did you get that pastebin? [22:30] Peppe80iii: you can do all this in gui too [22:30] Pilot_51: change to tty2 or something and sudo reboot [22:30] Odd-rationale: It used to be in 8.04, but not in 8.10, not for me anyway. [22:30] thegoatmilkguy: ok, thanks [22:30] Odd-rationale: thanks [22:30] Pilot_51: strange... [22:31] w00t: yea i did, but i dont know how you would fix that [22:31] Peppe80iii: off for a cigaratte, keep me informed ;) [22:31] I have a Compaq Presario CQ50-110US and i get a kernel panic every time i try to boot any linux operating system (ubuntu is one of them)--can anyone please help me?

[22:32] Peppe80iii: read what i wrote ya [22:32] thiebaude: what does it imply? graphics aren't really an area I know much^Wanything about :p [22:32] Pilot_51: ctrl+alt+f2 ? [22:32] Does anybody know what Linux Mint's most recent distro is based off of? (Intrepid, Hardy, etc) [22:32] I can't seem to get a straight answer out of them xD [22:32] Conexion: look at the mint site and find out [22:33] I did [22:33] Are there any general troubleshooting steps for solving a hardware based kernel panic? [22:33] Odd-rationale: Thanks, I tried Ctrl+Shift+stuff. :P [22:33] it doesn't mention Ubuntu anywhere [22:33] i have LILO or whatever that bootloader is installed on the same partition as ubuntu so i have to use the bootmenu to boot from the ubuntu drive. how can i uninstall LILO and install GRUB on the MBR? [22:33] w00t: im not sure [22:33] Peppe80iii: meanwhile you can examine these https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions (permissions & owners) === djungelkraem_ is now known as djungelkraem [22:34] Hardy apparently [22:34] w00t: you said you enabled your graphics card driver? [22:34] shea279__: yes, exchange the defect piece of hardware ;-) [22:35] Having an interesting problem with my Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit server install. Everything installs properly, then I restart... and I end up with this: grub> _ [22:35] No error, no nothing. Just a grub prompt. [22:35] my non-techie friend, who i am techie for, discovered and came to depend on the ctrl-alt +/- feature of X to compensate for poor vision; upgraded her to 8.10 and this doesn't work now; anyone know how to turn on this feature in intrepid? [22:35] eclectic I think you're talking about the zoom feature of compiz are you not? [22:36] Asymmestry: try "exit" [22:36] any general troubleshoting steps for solving a kernel panic? [22:36] on an hp laptop [22:36] nintendork32, ... I really hope you're joking. [22:36] eclectic: why not use the included magnifier and other accesibility options ??? also compiz has a more powerfull zoom plugin [22:36] no, just a feature of xorg [22:36] it sucks having ubuntu when the u button sticks on your keyboard.... [22:36] she got used to it on dapper [22:36] eclectic make sure comiz-fusion is installed, check ccsm (compiz-fusion-settings-manager) package, make sure enhanced zoom is enabled - by default it'll be set to windows key + scroll wheel [22:36] Asymmetry: no but i'm wrong its quit [22:37] Asymmetry, really [22:37] nintendork32, and that'll let the system continue booting? [22:37] its quit [22:37] Asymmetry should [22:37] ikonio : nothing my friend [22:37] hi, how can i block a program from accessing to internet??, i got firestarter. [22:37] something else???

I got all the options set but it still ignores all my email accounts [22:38] shea279__: kernel panics can have several reasons. general tips can only be of quite trivial natur like "read the error messages". if you provide the error messages, maybe someone can help you [22:38] i have LILO or whatever that bootloader is installed on the same partition as ubuntu so i have to use the bootmenu to boot from the ubuntu drive. how can i uninstall LILO and install GRUB on the MBR? [22:38] OxDeadC0de: is compiz the only way? it's installed and works but that machine lacks power to make it work without dragging [22:38] and it worked fine for her on 6.04 [22:38] guys .. so im assuming when i install 8.10 ubuntu flash will be easier to install right ? [22:39] eclectic you can use the zoom option from the accessability menu like the other guy suggested a min ago [22:39] macjason0607: yes, it will "just work" [22:39] This is very minor, but has anyone else experienced a problem where dragging a window past the edge of the screen wraps around with a black silhouette on the other side of the screen? [22:39] macjason0607: it should be in synaptic [22:39] jrib, also if i have to keep reinstalling what is the best way to backup my whole hd [22:39] flash 10 [22:39] !backup > macjason0607 [22:39] macjason0607, please see my private message [22:39] i visited a web site that said i need java to view...how do get the firefox plugin or w/e is required to do this [22:39] macjason0607: you shouldn't have to reinstall though [22:40] jrib, i thought a clean install was the best [22:40] thiebaude: hmm, in my Xorg log, I have something which looks relevant: (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-1 [22:40] macjason0607: I've always upgraded [22:40] jrib, after i burn to a cd what do i do ?

[23:46] Dark_Wolf: open a terminal and execute nm-applet [23:46] just a minute... [23:46] had to reboot [23:47] Dark_Wolf: on linux? [23:47] yeah [23:48] Is rebooting ANY system such a shock when it's had updated (eg kernel) [23:48] OzFalcon: its the only reason to reboot a linuxsystem [23:48] ofh === gord_ is now known as drog [23:49] No it's not [23:49] fosco_, it failed [23:49] how do I add an environment variable permanently? [23:49] Anyone proficient in compiling? [23:49] sliverchair: e.g. in the bashrc [23:50] Dark_Wold you could goto System Preferences Network Connection [23:50] fosco_, (nm-applet:5395): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed [23:50] I am tryingto compile and says tcl.h is not found (locate finds it). [23:50] its lost it seems [23:50] DIFH-iceroot: what's the difference with /etc/environment? [23:50] !grub | kc8pxy [23:50] alex__5000: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/internet/C/modem-connect.html [23:50] kc8pxy, please see my private message [23:51] sliverchair: bashrc is only for the current user [23:51] sliverchair: environment is global [23:51] is there any disadvantage if I store my audio and video files on a ntfs partition instead of ext3? [23:51] selam [23:51] RomD, Fragmentation [23:51] RomD: no, not really, ntfs-3g is working very good [23:51] and besides fragmentation? [23:53] I would only use it for storage. I'm gonna use a dual boot vista/ubuntu system, so ntfs would be better unless there is a reason to go with ext3 (except fragmentation) [23:53] RomD Yes one other. [23:54] Can someone please help me with my sound issue? [23:54] RomD, Can't remember what it's called. [23:54] journaling? [23:54] RomD: ntfs-3g has been really stable and useful in my opinion as a shared filesystem [23:54] RomD, Yes thats it. [23:54] what kernel parameter prevents X to be loaded?

[23:56] what kernel boot param do i need to get only a console login? my x crashes the machine due to a bad config [23:56] DIFH-iceroot: thanks, I added an export command at the end [23:56] NTFS-3G does not yet support full NTFS journaling, so unexpected computer crashes or power loss can leave the file system in an inconsistent state. [23:56] according to wikipedia [23:56] Dark_Wolf: pastebin any errors please [23:56] nuit!! [23:57] RomD: you can't use ext3 with windows anyway... [23:57] RomD, So use at your own risk.
