[00:01] fosco_, thank you sir [00:01] norty: In "Software Sources," under the "Updates" tab, what do you see under "Release Upgrade"? [00:01] Hi everyone. I upgraded a 6.10 machine to 7.04, and now it locks up while booting. One problem that I have solved is the format change in /etc/event.d, but another problem has me stumped: During startup, when kernel modules are loaded, it complains that the /lib/modules/2.6.17-12-generic directory doesn't exist. In fact, it does. [00:02] Then it finally hangs on Begin: Warigin for root file system... with the message ALERT! /dev/hda1 does not exist. and drops into ash. [00:02] Any dual monitor compiz people's around? [00:02] Did anyone see my post ^^^^ [00:03] jthurman: i think that was the release where all hdd names where migrated from hdX do sdX [00:03] I can mount /dev/hda1, so it clearly does exist. [00:03] MrCollins, did not see the original post [00:03] sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdf /media/disk/ [00:03] mount: mount point /media/disk/ does not exist [00:03] MrCollins: you can use gpartd from the livecd to resize the partition before installing... make sure you defragment the ntfs parition in windows first [00:03] fosco_, it's not working [00:04] toastedmilk: pasta sudo fdisk -l in pastebin.com, then give me the link [00:04] ghindo: lol I checked everything and now it says i have 221 updates, thanks! [00:04] Kl4m: are you running multi-homed server now? I don't quite understand how that works... [00:04] *paste [00:04] zsquareplusc: I'll try changing that in the grub config and see what happens. [00:04] norty: You're welcome. What was the problem? [00:04] erUSUL: I can not get into windows right now... I am installing ubuntu to lifeboat me until I get another HD to copy my data over, format and do a full ubuntu install [00:05] jthurman: you could change it when booting, no need to edit menu.lst. just press e at the menu [00:05] True. :) [00:05] jthurman: that wont save it but its good enough for a try [00:05] Anyone have BUFFALO Wireless-G USB 2.0 Keychain Adapter with Auto Installation? [00:05] any ideas on the clock? also the ntp options are no longer visible although i see the package is installed? where are they hiding all the features? [00:05] When my machine has two Ethernet cars (and 2 IP addresses) how does it determine which card/IP to use for commands like apt-get, wget, ftp, ssh, etc? [00:05] ekontsevoy: no, I just transfered a physical machine into vmware and I had to make it detect the virtual card. I cleared the file 70-something in rules.d and added the card in /etc/network/interfaces [00:05] ekontsevoy: see "route" [00:05] ekontsevoy: and restarted udev and networking [00:06] Can i download software for windows and use WINE to use it on Ubuntu?

[00:07] Hmm... I just realized something. Is it odd that the 17-12 kernel is trying to open the 10-17 modules directory? [00:07] NoIdeaMan, yes that is the point of Wine..... [00:08] i mean all software [00:08] fosco_: some memory sticks are formated without partition table, if thats what you're wondering about [00:08] can some1 help me on kdenlive crash? ._.

I've been using it. What happened is I changed the mount point from /media/disk to /mnt/ipod as amarok insisted, and now I get the following error message in nautilis: 'unable to mount volume: mount_point cannot contain the following: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR(/) [00:09] can some1 help me on a crash problem? =w= [00:09] MrCollins: you need to have ntfsprogs installed [00:09] !ask | kevin__ [00:09] kevin__: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:09] how do I find out the file encoding of a file? I tried file --mime {file} but that just gives me text/html, not the encoding [00:09] jthurman: that is strange. the kernel should access the directory that matches its version. is initrd and kernel in grub not matching? [00:10] Someone knows how to install Frostwire or Limewire using OpenJDK? [00:10] toastedmilk: make sure /mnt/ipod exists, if not, just create it [00:10] Filenames match, in any case. [00:10] Sake: depends on what you're interested in.. "file" analyses file contents [00:10] fosco_, in terminal: mkdir PATH ? [00:10] vmlinuz-2.6.17-12-generic and initrd.img-2.6.17-12-generic [00:10] Is it possible to simultaneously connect to 2 different wireless AP's (with 2 cards) and download different files per connection? perhaps using VM?

I can switch to them, but my screen is either completely black or flashing different colored bars. Any ideas?

UTF encoded files may have a marker but old codepage based once is just guessing [00:11] kevin__: you might get a better response in #kubuntu [00:11] fosco_, and it still isn't working [00:12] would wine work with http://www.buffalotech.com/technology/our-technology/client-manager-3/ Someone please try before i switch OS [00:12] Sake: open with an editor that can change the encoding :-) gedit tries to guess the encoding to [00:12] Hi, I'm getting some weird error on boot.

[00:13] fosco_, http://paste-bin.com/view/fcfac886 [00:13] Gnea: I have ntfsprogs installed [00:13] ghindo: sr0 is likely to be your CD/DVD drive [00:13] would wine work with http://www.buffalotech.com/technology/our-technology/client-manager-3/ Someone please try before i switch OS [00:13] zsquareplusc, good advice, I just forced gedit to make it iso-8895-1, works like a charm [00:13] Gnea: Yeah, I'm playing an audio CD right now and everything seems fine.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:14] ghindo: what about data? movies? writing disks? [00:14] ghindo: if all of those work just fine, it's probably nothing to worry about [00:14] omg [00:15] Yeah, changing to root=/dev/sda1 doesn't make a difference. [00:15] Gnea: I'm not sure if anything else doesn't work. I won't worry about it for now I guess, if it isn't anything too serious.

I can switch to them, but my screen is either completely black or flashing different colored bars. Any ideas? [00:18] fosco_, what the hell do you mean it's damaged! It was working fine before I redirected the mount point [00:18] !patience [00:18] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available.

There is a lock in the /sdb1 line. How do I change this? (am sudoing) [00:19] Hmm... The plot thickens. The kernel version for 7.04 should be 2.6.20, not 2.6.17. It's beginning to look like the kernel simply didn't update. [00:19] Rooty: unmount it first [00:20] when partitioning using LVM is it good practise to leave free space in the volume group? I read that it can be a bad idea to shrink logical volumes and could lead to data loss [00:20] toastedmilk: sorry man, i know no more [00:20] zsquareplusc: so if i have a device that disconnects constantly, running hcidump (while or after??) will assist developers in understanding why the crash happened [00:20] anyone can tell me how good or how bad is the msi wind ?? ? ?

Sorry IDK much about wireless stuff. [01:10] BlueEagle: Yeah, it seems to be. This annoys me though. They keep claiming that JeOS fully works on Workstation and ESX, and yet the last two releases have had major issues. eg, there's no way the last release of JeOS could work on ESX without SCSI drivers, so it clearly wasn't even tested.

[01:41] I hat it, I prefer Debian stable [01:41] x3n0: you may want to try this two commands one after the other: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg --and then-- sudo aticonfig --initial [01:41] I cant stand it [01:42] I have not had any problems [01:42] tripitakit; how do i back up now [01:42] Pidgin MSN client? puag!

[01:42] Debian stable, the best [01:42] Mozilla is the best Company out there. [01:42] DarkKnight: the use of distinct partitions for home and / is a good practice to prevent such issues [01:42] Ubuntu is Debian pretty much. [01:43] Any idea what's up with Cheese? [01:43] DarkKnight: i just copied my entire home directory to an external drive, that worked fine for me, you have to reinstall your apps but all your settings and stuff are store in hidden folders and files in home so once you reinstall the apps they'll be there [01:43] Built from. [01:43] i closed the lid of my 1000h eeepc with ubuntu 8.10, when i reopened it, the screen is non-responsive -- do i have any options? [01:43] tripitakit; ya i have done that; so wen i do a fresh install will i lose anythin [01:43] Ok, I got it. [01:43] I just did the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:43] :) [01:43] DarkKnight: u could store your data in a partition you'll not wipe out, and install a clean hardy [01:43] tripitakit: how do you put home on a new partition when you already have ubuntu installed [01:44] for example right now, no way to open a navigator... [01:44] no way! [01:44] amirman; i've tried that one... but it came up with a seg fault :( [01:44] What version do you have? [01:44] tripitakit; n wat do i name the partition as [01:44] It hust does not start [01:44] 8.04 [01:44] x3n0: damn, did it segfault during the aticonfig part? [01:44] How long have you had?

[01:47] tripitakit; moreover i have only hardy cd....i dont have intrepid; if i dowload it takes 5 days bcoz of the speed ...sp wen i upgrade again..will i face problems [01:47] KillerOrca: to resize and make new partition look for gparted tutorials [01:47] nintendork32: !name does nothing [01:47] so i can kill he process later [01:47] Is the torrent downloader on Ubuntu fast? [01:47] x3n0: is your card supported? [01:47] no / i believe [01:47] nintendork32: sudo kill [01:48] nintendork32: does it boot now? or do you want to paste menu.lst?

[01:48] zsquareplusc, nah not right now [01:49] what do you think? do browsers need to read from /dev/random? [01:49] DarkKnight: you dont need to care about the partition name, a new one could be usefull to backup your home, before you install hardy back [01:49] hargtholan: why not? i guess SSL needs random numbers for session keys [01:49] i am looking for a ctl+alt+del like behavior [01:50] that could bring my screen back to life [01:50] can someone help me mount my USB drive.

[02:26] tripitakit so reboot back into ubuntu and go to terminal and type fdisk -l ? .. do you want the output ? [02:26] Either way, best to go with Manual. [02:26] @relisys I ran the install from within windows, and it works great. I heard it can be lower performance... [02:26] @fitech - It can be because it is a virtual machine, essentially. That's how I understand it, anyway. [02:27] macjason0: yes if u can paste in pastebin is fine [02:27] bbs [02:27] i've got a hauppage card that's not happy in ubuntu... i found a (very long) thread with no real resolution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785476 [02:27] zsquareplusc: I added sensors-applet using Synaptic, but I don't see it under "Add to Panel" in GNOME [02:27] @fitech, relisys - Best to do an install to disk, and to use Manual when partitioning. [02:27] If you're serious about it. [02:27] should i add resolutions in the screen section or the monitor section of xorg.conf [02:27] i'm a longtime linux user, but a development noob - i don't know what to do next [02:28] what do i need for a large 1TB partition ? [02:28] GradysGhost: how much should i set my swap to? [02:28] can i use old style fdisk primary partitions ?? [02:29] Evening All. I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask this, but I just upgraded to Ibex and on first boot, I got an error that my X config file could not be parsed correctly. I can now not enable the nVidia binary driver successfully. Any pointers to some helpful information? [02:29] @relisys - How much RAM is in your PC? [02:29] altay: yeah i somtimes also had problem that added applets wont show up immediately. but they somehow showed up after some tries. or maybe the name is misleading. is there a hardware monitor? [02:29] 3gb [02:29] @relisys - Bare minimum - 256 megs or less. [02:29] ? [02:29] @relisys - you'll never use your swap file with that much RAM. [02:30] zsquareplusc: Yeah, I see it now. Thanks. [02:30] swap file is HD space turned in to ram? [02:30] relisys: you'll need your swap to be at least as large as your ram if you want to suspend to disk [02:30] @relisys - Yep. [02:30] @relisys - Pretty much. [02:30] bouma have a look at xfs filesystem too [02:31] @relisys - The Windows equivalent is called the "Page File" but in Windows, it's in constant use, and it's literally a file on your harddrive located at C:\pagefile.sys. It's always in use there. You'll rarely find it in use in Ubuntu. === Mr_Fixit is now known as Guest93878 [02:31] hey guys whats a good program to convert mp3s to wav? for burning audio cds? [02:31] Hi there. Does anyone know why pinging certain domains results in them having a five second delay between each ping/response but the ping time reported back is under 30 ms? [02:31] Guest93878: you generally dont have to do that [02:31] YUJU I FINALLY COULD RUN FROSTWIRE WITH OPENJDK. thanks for the help, if any. [02:31] confabulation, the -i flag sets an interval [02:32] well i generally can't figure it out then.... Cpudan80 [02:32] confabulation: i wish i knew ... i had an ltsp that did that [02:32] confabulation, try ping --help [02:32] Guest93878: The burning program itself should allow you to just burn the mp3s directly to a music CD [02:32] @Guest93878 - Brasero and K3B should both work out the audio formats automatically. [02:32] confabulation, or man ping [02:32] ~frostwire [02:32] ~frostwire [02:32] k3b didn't cut it [02:32] !frostwire [02:32] @relisys - also you won't have to worry about your "page file" being "fragmented" [02:32] onats: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:32] frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [02:32] what is it? [02:32] Anyone familiar with nVidia issues in 8.10? [02:32] RB2, i have the same problem. just running it on 2d, 1024x768 [02:33] onats, ahh ok. At least I'm not alone. ;) [02:33] yeah [02:33] any way to tell ubuntu to keep files on a thumb drive and a hard drive synced? [02:33] rb2 i got lucky - i've had nvidia problems with every distro up to current [02:33] beeradb, in this case it's the only site that delays like that.. doing ping -i 1 gives 3 packets received/transmitted in 10000+ms [02:33] destlund, what is your videocard? [02:33] Hello. What is squashfs? [02:34] !squashfs [02:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about squashfs [02:34] DEstlund, I know many who have. Up until now, I've never had one single issue. [02:34] hmm good q [02:34] Anyone know how to set up sslrelay? [02:34] lemme check [02:34] StevenX -> rsync [02:34] StevenX, check out rsync [02:34] ty [02:34] geforce 9800 [02:34] amikrop -> its the livecd's file system [02:35] onats, I'm running an 8800GTS/640MB [02:35] n8tuser: You mean, the files? [02:35] amikrop -> not all the files but a particular file that gets expanded...kindly google for squasfs [02:35] i've always had do manually install the nv drivers with this and my previous card [02:35] im on a 7600gs only [02:35] this time, magic [02:35] n8tuser: ok. thanks. [02:36] even with the issues, it's always been a cakewalk compared to ATI [02:36] Perhaps I should use a different version of the binary driver instead of 177... an older one [02:36] DEstlund, I would pick nVidia any day. :) [02:36] i bought one ATI card: nothing but trouble - it even made the system unstable in windows! [02:36] DEstlund, like that's difficult. :-P [02:36] looking for some guidance on locating/installing minicom, any help please. [02:37] true, but when there are only two major brands to support [02:37] you'd think they both could manage [02:37] !info minicom [02:37] !it [02:37] minicom (source: minicom): friendly menu driven serial communication program.

These are a newer model key I think, the other ones worked fine but this one doesn't. Any ideas? [02:37] hmm, can anyone recommend a remotedesktop client? There are so many in the repository, it is confusing. :( === Guest93878 is now known as Out_Cold [02:38] ok cool= tnx to all will go that route [02:38] hubar: depends on the protocol [02:38] tripitakit http://paste.ubuntu.com/76654/ [02:39] hubar: whats on the other end? [02:39] zsquareplusc: what about RDP? [02:39] macjason0: looking [02:39] Version 5 I mean [02:39] can anyone ballpark the combined size off all the intrepid deb packages? [02:39] *of [02:39] hubar: rdesktop. is there anything else? the two remote desktop viewerst just load that one i think [02:39] endeavormac: apt-mirror used to be about 32Gb for 8.04 ... much more now? [02:39] Is there an option to set up which protocol to use? [02:40] genii: thanks, that should be close enough :) [02:40] Be it RDP5, RDP4? [02:40] need help unmounting a cd [02:40] selamlar [02:40] macjason0: was your flash usb lugged in when u typed fdsik -l ? [02:40] This customer needs me to connect to his "Remote Desktop", should I ask him which protocl he uses? [02:40] *plugged [02:40] because i am trying to install a game with cedega and it wont let me unmountit [02:40] tripitakit yea it is at the bottom [02:40] Killer--Tux, umount -f /mountpoint [02:41] tripitakit /dev/sdb1 1 20023 160834716 7 HPFS/NTFS [02:41] onx how do i find the mount point [02:41] onats / DEstlund , what have you seen in the X log? [02:41] Killer--Tux, mount [02:42] i haven't needed to look at it rb2 [02:42] tripitakit i just formated that usb to NTFS ... why will it say hpfs/ntfs [02:42] is there something i should look for? [02:42] RB2, where is that located? [02:43] onx i get that the device is busy [02:43] macjason0: fine, but it is not a flash usb :) isnt it? [02:43] onats, look under /var/log [02:43] is there a way to force unmount [02:43] DEstlund, ohhh you AREN'T having a problem with Ibex. ;) [02:43] hi, I have a set of bytes that I would like to write [02:43] to a file as a bitmap for analysis, can anyone tell [02:43] me how to do this in gimp or any other image [02:43] processing command line tool? [02:43] agnel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:43] :) [02:43] well i am - my problem is with v4l [02:43] Killer--Tux, kill the process that's accessing it then [02:43] Killer--Tux: check what locks the path with "lsof | grep /medi/whatver" [02:44] can i go into the install partition editor after having installed? [02:44] agnel: can't you just save the file into bmp format? [02:44] Hey, weird question, is there a flag for a password for SSH? like ssh blah@ip -password cheese? [02:44] or something like that? [02:44] the thing is am tring to install battlefield and once it needs cd 2 i cant contimue becuse am not able to unmount [02:45] Does anyone know why, despite having a pinging interval set to one second, pinging certain sites still delays their responses between ping packets by what seems like 5+ seconds? (The ping times themselves are small, like 30-80ms) [02:45] EvilAIM: "man ssh" ;-) there is but all users can look at the command line of the processes in a system [02:45] !raid [02:45] raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [02:45] how can i view the time zone data?

[02:45] Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [02:45] can i go into the install partition editor after having installed? [02:46] hubar: doesn't work - because bitmap files have headers describing the image, I was wondering if there's any utility to do this for me [02:46] !gparted [02:46] gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [02:46] android60, there is no best .. mythbuntu will be a quicker mythtv setup... but they will both do what you want. [02:46] well i can't get k3b to convert mp3 to wav ( says "Unable to handle the following files due to an unsupported format") and brasero always freezes up on me.. is there a plugin or package I am missing? [02:46] can i go into the install partition editor after having installed? ON SERVER [02:46] When i try to shut down, my system goes into a split screen fullscreen terminal window for like 5 mins before it'll shut down. Is this a common problem? [02:46] sry about that [02:46] Flynsarmy, no. [02:47] agnel: use your favorite image library... PIL if you like python [02:47] agnel: hold on let me check [02:47] macjason0: sorry dont know hpfs... [02:47] it's not really a terminal window its more like dos (or unix?). if i type anything it apperas on both sides of the horizontal split line goign across the center of the screen [02:48] Flynsarmy, sounds like your v/hsync are off [02:48] Gajim allows me to indicate 1 of 7 statuses: Available, Free for Chat, Away, Not Available, Busy, Invisible, Absent. How are these statuses defined? [02:48] agnel: gimp can open raw images. and there are netpbm and imagemagick [02:48] agnel: hmm, Is *.bitmap the format you want? [02:48] myconid, How would i fix that? This only happens when i try to turn off or reboot my machine. didn't happen often in hardy. [02:48] also try to man convert. === sean is now known as Guest28112 [02:49] Flynsarmy, since I have never had the problem.. im not sure.. i was simply saying it wasnt normal, and a vague suggestion as to what I thought might do it. [02:49] Flynsarmy, it could just be a windows xp cd close to your system thats causing it for all i know [02:49] zsquareplusc: Is it possible to take they bytes and dump to an image using the tools you mentioned? [02:49] onats, brb [02:49] Well, I wanted to automate a lot of stuff on this tower, as I'm lazy:) [02:50] I'm the only user on here, and the only user around that knows linux [02:50] how do i add a network to gnome-xchat [02:50] yes you are [02:50] Another problem: when i hit backspace the repeat speed is massively fast in intrepid. wasn't in hardy or gutsy or feisty.

[02:51] King i don't have any 3d card [02:51] it will work [02:52] i have 1 Gig 2.66 Pentium D [02:52] tripitakit .. i know but i just formated that drive in windows as ntfs but it won't show up in the ubuntu installer [02:52] zamba, sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 [02:52] how do i find out if i have a firewall running? [02:52] scientes, try cfdisk [02:52] umer: not sure it need 3d graphics [02:52] Is there a VPN server for Ubuntu that will allow my Windows boxes to connect? I want to do SMB forwarding over the Windows VPN. I don't want to install anything extra on the Windows box aside from putty and whatever VPN software Microsoft gives. [02:52] macjason0, your ... trying to install ubuntu onto ntfs? [02:52] AidenXi, yes. [02:52] myconid care to elloborate? =) [02:53] I have a problem related to DNS setup, here are the details and configurations: http://pastebin.com/m670b54ea [02:53] myconid im trying to get the installer to see the usb flash drive that has ntfs so i can partition it and put ubuntu on it [02:53] hi [02:53] elaborate* [02:53] umer: i have a acer aspire 3680 with intel 945GMA card and my games are very limited and that game run well [02:53] macjason0: there is a bug mentioned in the release notes that if a partition is mounted, it may not be visible in the installer [02:53] myconid gparted should recognize the usb flash drive regardless [02:53] how do i add a network to gnome-xchat [02:53] guyz i have question when gimp became that much mature why still people prefer Adobe Photo shop i mean in the market every one wants Adobe [02:53] jrib so what do i do ? [02:53] AidenXi, google 'linux l2tp' I believe [02:53] AidenXi: not quite to your specs but there is openvpn that runs on both platforms and can bridge nets [02:54] macjason0: unmount it before starting the installer [02:54] is it just me or is squashfs on most livecd distro's not long term stable? [02:54] how can I supress the permission-messages which find prints ? [02:54] Anyone else having backspace repeat speed way too fast issue in intrepid? [02:54] zsquareplusc last time I tried setting up OpenVPN I nearly killed a man lol [02:54] King it's downloading slow net only 122 KB per second [02:54] seems after a while on any box you start getting squashfs errors [02:54] and the system collapses [02:54] matisse: redirect stderr to /dev/null [02:54] AidenXi, l2tp + windows client + linux [02:54] AidenXi: there is now a package on ubuntu [02:54] jrib so when before i start installing unmount it .. after i unmount it then start the installer ? [02:54] exit [02:54] macjason0: sure [02:54] The text in not visible in my OpenOffice menus, though it flickers momentarily when I move my mouse over it. I've tried changing themes with no luck. [02:54] zsquareplusc does it come with configs so I don't have to spent the next 2 hours figuring it all out? [02:54] flyback -> are you running the livecd for a lonnnnng time? [02:54] umer: Gimp is a little harder than photoshop to use because the documentation is less complete and less user friendly. That and my recent experience in #gimp was being told I hadnt read the documentation properly [02:55] jrib when do i mount it ? remember i want to put ubuntu on the flash drive like i did with ubuntu 7 [02:55] myconid thanks, I'll google away. [02:55] AidenXi, only 2 hours? wow .. it took me longer than 2 hrs :) [02:55] umer: If you receive no better answer and at the risk of starting a holy war, I thought CMYK support was one of the problems in the past [02:55] macjason0: don't mount it [02:55] AidenXi, do you want quick and easy? [02:55] aw [02:55] ok [02:55] n8tuser, yeah [02:55] AidenXi: that i dont know. look at /use/share/doc/openvpn/ [02:55] days to weeks [02:55] jrgp tripitakit .. bbs [02:55] how do i add a network to gnome-xchat [02:55] wish me luck [02:55] I saved some of the log I think [02:55] it was hard, [02:55] myconid All I want is to access SMB shares on a computer behind a NAT/firewall but has full outbound access. [02:55] flyback -> why not just install a persistent install like on a hard disk? [02:55] syslog and messages hit 330 meg and killed up the filesystem [02:55] cause I been debating [02:55] AidenXi, ssh? [02:56] no JonathanElis there is lot of Good Books available [02:56] fedora 9 pissed me off [02:56] AidenXi: yes,a lot of examples: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/amd64/openvpn/filelist :-) [02:56] ubuntu 7 8 and 9 don't like my graphics card [02:56] jrib: thx, but can I undo that ? [02:56] flyback, switch back to windows 95? [02:56] it's a bug in their detection routines [02:56] i want to chat on in hak5 irc but don't know how to add the network to xchat [02:56] myconid: append " 2> /dev/null" to the end of your command [02:56] I think it's setting the dvi port when the crt is on vga [02:56] umer: Well the documentation built in to the program and on the gimp website is sketchy [02:56] etc [02:56] matisse: append " 2> /dev/null" to the end of your command [02:56] there is site name gimp-tutorials man it's awesome [02:56] myconid SP2/3 nuked SMB tunneling, I get "Permission denied" when trying to forward 139 and 445 [02:56] flyback -> maybe you can learn to program and contribute back so you can get these bugs resolved? [02:57] Okay... restarted my computer, now all the contents of my secondary hdd are wiped... can anybody help me please? [02:57] umer: And it is not encouraging in a chat when you have a problem and essentially people tell you to go away and read the manual [02:57] myconid, I was walking newbies thru kernel compiles long distance over the phone before ubuntu was even a concept runt [02:57] the only reason as far as i see people are less aware .. every one knows about Photoshop [02:57] Thanks zsquareplusc, I'll read over them if I can't get a simpler way of getting the job done. [02:57] when ever i try to connect to my ubuntu mail server, it "actively refuses" the connection , but i cannot find a firewall running, ipchain is ruleless, ufw is not enabled [02:57] so save the smart ass arrogant "oh you are too stupid to use linux" comments for someone else [02:57] matisse: erm sorry. I though you said "how can I do it?" and I answered that question. What do you mean by "How can I undo that?" [02:57] flyback, and yet .. your in here playing the "it doesnt work out of the box" card? [02:57] hy [02:57] actually [02:57] it's ubuntu specific [02:57] the card has been supported by stock xfree86 and x.org for yrs [02:57] what bug number is it again? [02:57] onats, well that didn't work. ;) [02:58] in basic 2d mode [02:58] onats, I knew I should have stuck with 8.04 :-/ [02:58] umer: Shame no-one in #gimp bothered to tell me about that - just made me feel like an idiot for not knowing everything already [02:58] jrib: no, everything's ok, thanks a lot ! [02:58] it's only in ubuntu do I see this behavior [02:58] jonathan: i never mean to degrade you [02:58] flyback please keep your ego in check, this is a help and support channel, not a place to gloat your skills. [02:58] as for you n8tuser I am not bitching, I am asking if anyone else seen this behavior [02:58] flyback, What ubuntu bug number did you file the problem and fix under? [02:58] Okay... restarted my computer, now all the contents of my secondary hdd are wiped... can anybody help me please? anybody have any ideas to get the information back? [02:58] flyback -> you just like to rant? this is just a support channel not a development...so your barking at the wrong tree? [02:58] jonanthan: bro what happened if my words hurts you i would like to say sorry [02:59] AidenXi, flyback, switch back to windows 95? <--- you care to retract what you just said? [02:59] wise: DONT DO ANYTHING ELSE. [02:59] jonanthan: don't be hyper [02:59] again [02:59] I am NOT barking [02:59] wise, be very careful.. what exactly did you do? [02:59] is there a way to update all my files from bash? (apt-get install all updates) [02:59] Gajim allows me to indicate 1 of 7 statuses: Available, Free for Chat, Away, Not Available, Busy, Invisible, Absent. How are these statuses defined?

[02:59] edge: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you [02:59] edge whatcha need help with? [03:00] i want to chat on in hak5 irc but don't know how to add the network to xchat [03:00] my box keeps rejecting connections on port 25, ipchains is off and ufw is not enabled [03:00] i can't find the cause [03:00] edge: router? [03:00] king: type /server irc.hak5.com or wahtever [03:00] jrib, im forwarding the correct ports, as ssh works but mail doesnot [03:00] King you can add it to your list by following this guide (and replacing the usual bits): http://t0x.in/xchatconnect.html [03:00] edge: could be ISP blocking port 25 as well if they are outside connections [03:00] so whatever the apt-get update engine needs to run on my web-server which doesn't have gnome -- is there a way to update?\ [03:00] umer: Dont think it was you who spoke to me that evening [03:01] umer: So no apology necessary I think [03:01] edge: does netstat show something listening on the port? [03:01] edge netstat -lnp to make sure smtp is running, and which smtp server? [03:01] Anyone know why ping -i 1 -c 5 takes 20 seconds to process 5 packets, despite each packing having a ping time of 20-30ms? [03:01] ok bro i thought you are getting hyper on me JonthanEllis [03:01] lexrex: can you explain that differently? [03:01] n e ways chill thumbs up [03:02] This always happens to me =/ I come in here asking for help and spend the next few hours helping others lol [03:02] umer: But devs in a chat room should be aware that newbies get put off very easily and when told RTFM they are likely to just go back to what they know on the basis that its easier [03:02] goat|lappy, sorry, i am on my webserver, i want to update all packages -- this just "happens" on my ubuntu desktop -- do i have a command line option to run the updater [03:02] AidenXi, *nods* [03:02] AidenXi, jrgp zimbra is listed as listening, though it doesn't give a port [03:02] lexrex: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [03:03] i think the upgrade is what i was looking for [03:03] lexrex, you need both [03:03] AidenXi: Thanks that you give the help [03:03] myconid, check your query window from me please. [03:03] edge zimbra isn't configured to listen on a port then or has it turned off/safety measure that some smtp servers put it to make sure its not an open relay. Check the configs [03:03] myconid, thanks -- it is working [03:04] AidenXi, i mean, when i do a netstat it didn't list a socket next to any of them [03:04] AidenXi, mail went out, ...it just never comes back [03:04] lexrex: remember that if you attempt to upgrade without running the update in a while, you can run into some errors, for the future [03:04] <|ntegra|> I've fluffed my /home directory (chmod 666 /.*), how might I fix this again? [03:04] AzMoo: I guess you are busy so I will try again tomorrow [03:04] edge are you doing just netstat or "netstat -lnp" ? [03:04] goat|lappy, thanks! [03:05] |ntegra|: what *exactly* did you run? [03:05] <|ntegra|> chmod (slaps forehead, so you don't need to) [03:05] AidenXi, i didn't scroll up, my error [03:05] |ntegra|: I mean the exact command in full [03:06] hi all! I'm running 8.10 with alsa, but can't seem to get the sound working. Is there a way to remove all configuration files and get alsa to configure it self automatically? [03:06] thanx for the help [03:06] AidenXi, something is listening on 25, its called "master" [03:06] <|ntegra|> dude: chmod 666 /.* [03:06] edge that would be postfix, disable it at runtime or remove it if you have no use for it. [03:06] |ntegra|: that wouldn't do anything [03:06] <|ntegra|> (it looks even worse man!!! oh crap) [03:06] I am trying to setup synce and I added launchpad to the rep and I keep getting this and not sure what to do to select the launchpad package [03:06] Package librra0-tools is a virtual package provided by: [03:06] librra-tools 0.12-0ubuntu0~ppa1+intrepid [03:06] You should explicitly select one to install. [03:06] mylogic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:07] !who | |ntegra| [03:07] |ntegra|: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:07] I have been ripping one of my dvd and it been ok ,but I can't seem to get the subtitles . Is there any totorals on how to use emcoder or transcoder . that normal use can understand . It says title ,but all I see vob some thing and so on. I found the device name and mount put ,but don't understand that [03:07] AidenXi, i used to be from another distro so i know how to do that in my old distro , i do not know how to manipulate the run times in ubuntu [03:08] !tab [03:08] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:08] edge should be something to the tune of "rc-update del postfix" [03:08] <|ntegra|> jrib: my x went down, and looped, and rebooted ,and I cant boot now (except to recovery (text) mode) [03:08] AidenXi, thats amazing that rc-update is in ubuntu also! [03:08] edge apologies, update-rc.d [03:08] |ntegra|: find the actual command you ran. It will make it easier to figure out how to fix it [03:09] AidenXi, u got my gentoo hopes up lol, thanks for the hlep [03:09] edge heh yeah I deal with ~3 flavors at work so my minds a little iffy on what is on what. [03:09] Hello, I have checked the intrepid-proposed updates on the software sources and now I have 82 updates to do, what is this? is this ok or dangerous? sould I update? [03:09] <|ntegra|> jrib: it could've been #chmod 666 ./* [03:10] *sigh* SSH tunnel to VPN to forward SMB so I can watch 1 episode of Smallville...nice being a geek at times =) [03:10] |ntegra|: pastebin 'ls -l ~' [03:10] excalibas almost all updates that the updater provides are relatively safe, just don't interrupt it once its begun its process. [03:10] excalibas seems normal, updating a gutsy now is like 470 items from a new install [03:11] excalibas--> you can also pick and choose which one to update using synaptic [03:11] thanks a lot :) [03:12] <|ntegra|> jrib: but I didn't do anything else -I'm sorry but I'm in windows -I'm pretty sure I've 666'd /home/me/.* ,ie all the . and .. etc files that I need to do basics [03:12] but what is this intrepid-proposed? where can I find information about it? [03:13] |ntegra|: chmod +X ~/.* will probably get you a usable system then [03:13] hello [03:13] what do i do with a .sh file? [03:13] excalibas: don't do it. Its proposed updates, that have been made available for testing [03:13] Hi, I need a webcam-server for My Ubuntu, I trust have xampp and webcam-server, may you help me configure them. [03:13] windowsgavemeara: why do you have one? [03:13] windowsgavemeara depends, .sh is usually a shell script. chmod +x it and ./scriptname to run it. [03:14] windowsgavemeara--> you open it and see if its anything dangerous and dont use it til you're comfy ? [03:14] <|ntegra|> jrib: do you think I should pursue this or just reinstall? (I'm a bit of a newb) Whoah, thanx, I'm off to try that in recovery mode! [03:14] my wifi atheros card wg511t does not show up in restricted drivers in 8.10? [03:14] excalibas: once whoever is in charge thinks they have been tested, and they work, they get moved to intrepid-updates [03:14] danbhfive, just did it o0 [03:14] |ntegra|: worst case scenario, you just create a new user and copy over your data [03:14] oh well === bobrien is now known as jayjoethecocoa [03:15] Hi, I need a webcam-server for My Ubuntu, I trust have xampp and webcam-server, may you help me configure them. [03:15] My main harddrive is failing. I have a new one. Is it possible to copy my current harddrive to my new one? Boot sectors and all? Exact replica? [03:15] hi all! I'm trying to reconfigure alsa on my box (I think some of the configuration files have gone all screwy), is there a way to delete the config files and get alsa to regenerate them? [03:15] danbhfive, ok, so mabie it is ok, and than I just uncheck it [03:15] |ntegra| I'd (as root) do "chown -R username * && chgrp -R username * && chmod -R 774 *" in your users home directory. [03:15] Fezzler1, use dd [03:15] Fezzler1--> look into using dd [03:16] dd? [03:16] ok [03:16] those are not br...never mind.. [03:16] Google dd +Ubuntu? [03:16] yes [03:16] excalibas: you might run into problems, but if there are fixes, you will get them eventually. I wouldn't worry about it to much [03:16] Fezzler1 if its failing I would first backup important data (tar it all up), then play around with a 1:1 clone. [03:17] my wifi atheros card wg511t does not show up in restricted drivers in 8.10? [03:17] excalibas, but disable that repo. how did you end up with it in the first place? [03:17] Gajim allows me to indicate 1 of 7 statuses: Available, Free for Chat, Away, Not Available, Busy, Invisible, Absent. How are these statuses defined? [03:17] pan--> if not, umm look for a compatible driver? [03:17] what am i doing wrong here? david@IceWeasel:~/Desktop/CrossOver]$ ./install-crossover-games-7.1.2.shin [03:17] bash: ./install-crossover-games-7.1.2.shin: No such file or directory [03:17] i am having trouble understanding the difference between curl and wget -- is there one? [03:17] is the nvidia HDA audio driver known to be buggy/shitty? I'm getting a ton of noise and reverb w/ it [03:17] AidenXi> All my data is on the second drive in my system mounted as /home. First drive is all system and settings [03:18] !tab > windowsgavemeara try tab completion maybe its a spelling error [03:18] windowsgavemeara, please see my private message [03:18] nm i got it,thanks root_ [03:18] windowsgavemeara do an "ls" command, do you have that file there? And use tab completion to fill in the file name, much easier =) [03:18] Juhaz, just checking what would happen if i checked it didnt seemed dangerous, proposed sounds nice :) [03:18] Fezzler1--> you can get to single user mode, and save or tar the /home from there [03:18] curl and wget seem to do the same thing [03:18] Sound spontaneously quits working. I can get it to work again by restarting, but that gets annoying fast. alsamixer shows nothing important muted, and testing sound playback outputs "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused" [03:19] my wifi atheros card wg511t does not show up in restricted drivers in 8.10? [03:19] thanks for your pacience [03:19] lexrex--> kindly google for the differences [03:19] pan: whats the problem? === crazy is now known as Guest33596 [03:19] n8tuser Don't need to. That's why I put /home with data on one HD and system/settling on boot HD [03:19] atheros wifi card not working [03:19] working in 8.04 [03:19] but not in 8.10 [03:20] worked out of the box [03:20] pan: do you know which driver its trying to use?? [03:20] lexrex not so much as you might think =) cURL is more advanced and offers a lot more than wget, it can also be integrated into php/etc web applications safely than if one was to use wget via ssi. [03:20] Fezzler1--> so why dont you go ahead with the dd we suggested? [03:20] never rilly did anything with it. [03:20] excalibas, yeah, shouldn't be dangerous, just potentially bit unstable (and rarely even that) [03:20] it doesn't show up in restricted drivers [03:20] AidenXi, great -- so curl is a more versatile version of wget . . . thanks [03:20] <|ntegra|> jrib: hi, it's official You Are The Hero Of Today" thanx heaps for a 1 minute fix [03:20] n8tuser: I am! Googling it right now [03:20] pan: well, the drivers got opensourced, so they aren't restricted anymore [03:21] lexrex basically. More used in web application than a command shell. wget is for cli environments to transfer data from point a to point b quickly. [03:21] |ntegra| glad it worked out for you =) [03:21] lexrex--> yeah,, curl is more like a programming language.. [03:21] <|ntegra|> cool dude" [03:22] <_MM_> hello guys, I would like to ask you a question. I am now in the UK, have a BT broadband with a non-static IP. I have also a linux account in another country. Would it be possible to make my IP look like as though I am connected from the foreign server? I hope it's legal. [03:23] _MM_--> you login to your foreign account and run the application from there. its legal eh? [03:23] pan you should have wifi enabled by default now, Atheros drivers as danbhfive said have been open sourced, they wont be under restricted anymore. [03:23] |ntegra|: no problem. Anyway, worst case scenario would have been that you just create a new user and copy over your data [03:24] pan: you could try installing linux-backports-modules, that might help get your card working [03:24] _MM_ you could setup a VPN to appear completely from the other IP, or do SSH port forwarding/dynamic forward (socks4a forward) to mask only things you want to. === jayjoethecocoa is now known as jayjoethecocoa_ === jayjoethecocoa_ is now known as jayjoethecocoa [03:25] hi. I went to install python-setuptools and I noticed this at the bottom of the description in Synaptic: [03:25] "canonical provides critical updates for python-setuptools until May 2010" [03:25] does anyone know what this means apart from what it says? [03:25] ie, why? Is setuptools changing? is the install package changing? [03:25] <_MM_> n8tuser2: can I login to the foreign server and run an aplication on my machine? [03:25] datakid just means after 2010 you won't be be able to get it from the canonical repos, atleast not the latest updates. You'll have to compile them yourself from source or use another repo that has updated versions. [03:26] _MM_--> you run it at the foreign account machine [03:26] thanks AidenXi . what is the reasoning behind this? [03:26] _MM_ if the remote machine has an X desktop system, you can do X Forwarding to have the remote desktop appear local [03:26] datakid: canonical is the business behind Ubuntu. They support certain packages, the rest are community supported. That one must be one that has official support [03:26] ah, ok [03:26] thanks! danbhfive === anom01y is now known as Loren [03:27] <_MM_> AidenXi: I read some information concerning reverse tunneling [03:27] _MM_--> well actually you can run it in yours locally and somehow you can pipe your output to a tunnel to remote end and then the remote access the internet to show as if its running from there === tat2thinbear is now known as tat2tbear === xbj_A21m is now known as noob9000 [03:28] <_MM_> AidenXi no the foreugn server doesn't have an X desktop system [03:28] _MM_ either way you can accomplish the same objective. Personally I'd do a dynamic (socks) forward/reverse forward and use the socks server for apps that I wanted to tunnel. [03:28] hello everybody.. i have a problem with playing video's.. they flicker for some reason. Im on an LG laptop S1 Express Dual with ATI mobility radeon X1600. i couldnt find any solutions :/ [03:28] ewpz [03:28] I'm dumb [03:28] Here's a question for guitar players. Is there a good program for Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) that does guitar tabs and such like Guitar Pro or Powertab? [03:29] hi [03:29] I tried using Power Tab Editor with Wine and that was an epic fail for me. [03:29] lcruzer do you have the desktop effects enabled?

I do not have sound, and i've talked to several people here before, done tons of things, and nothing has worked thus far. [03:31] noob9000: type /join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:31] <|ntegra|> jrib: ahh, ok, well I'd better go and read/watch that toot on file permissions again so I can unlock my music folder for rhythmbox [03:31] <_MM_> AidenXi i am quite a linux newbie :-) the information of how to do reverse tunneling is available on google, I believe I could do that. The socks server you are talking about - I would have to install it on my current machine? [03:31] I had sound when I used windows [03:31] n8tuser: http://www.linux.com/feature/152592 <--- this "how to" look right? [03:31] I've been having a lot of pulse audio problems the last few days -- anyone else run into this? it seemed to work fine, butn ow something is all goofy and it works intermittently [03:31] on Interpid that is [03:31] Intrepid [03:31] Yes danbhfive. It said that it was really buggy and that it differs between each release of Ubuntu. My problem is that I can't open files. Everything else seems to play if I type something in, but after playing, the program locks up every time. [03:31] hi all..

I'm very, very new @ ubuntu, and i've taken several steps to fix it and none of them worked. Please someone help. I use the pc for 2 things, and one is to listen to music.

If you could just tell me one more thing, please: this socks server you were talking about- i guess i would have to install it on my current machine? [03:44] n00b23452345: you can drag the theme package itself to your list of themes, in the gui, if you want to make things much easier [03:44] help! I have somehow rendered my desktop useless!

No need to install additional software. [03:45] All right, dig reports 28ms as the query time. ping -i 1 -c 5 takes 20 seconds to run. ping -i 1 -c 5 takes just over 4 seconds to run.

[03:45] jolynn one moment while I look that up. [03:46] mib_plniwiqt: you can also get some more things while your there [03:46] someone use virtualbox? [03:46] if you could just tell me what you need, i can tell you what is there.. i'm a technician, just not a linux one [03:46] ok, could you possibly PM when you find a "fix"? [03:46] umm domain name resolution? [03:46] maybe your dns server is slow [03:46] sudobash: if that's the case then why does dig report looking up the domain takes only 28ms? [03:46] <_MM_> AidenXi: thank you again, I was just looking at some socks information I found online and was confused. I'll check your link. [03:47] there are such things as different dns server [03:47] s [03:47] anyway - ipconfig comes back with command not found [03:47] sudobash: my /etc/resolv.conf only lists one if that's what you mean [03:47] anyone want to join ggz gaming zone? [03:47] Werenerd: do you have enough disk space? [03:47] i am up for whatever [03:47] hmm [03:47] mib_plniwiqt: the output of hte command "lspci" and "uname -a" and "cat /var/log/dmesg" [03:47] jolynn in terminal: sudo alsamixer [03:48] mib_plniwiqt: its ifconfig in linux [03:48] jolynn select and deselect "External Amplifier" and make sure nothing is mute there. [03:48] ood morning sir [03:48] i have a problem to update my system [03:48] i've done all of the basic stuff already. [03:49] mib_plniwiqt: you may have to run ifconfig as root [03:49] wat can do for it [03:49] klament do you have a Windows Server? [03:49] noob9000: nope [03:49] oh.. i can't read very well on this computer.. because of other issues.. thanks [03:49] jolynn have you played with the external amplifier option? [03:49] yes, that's basic. [03:49] dinesh_: whats the problem? [03:49] dinesh_ please explain the problem =) [03:49] Well, I'm gonna go for it and try to clone my main HD with dd. Looks like I'll need a Live CD of GPARTED too? === walmart is now known as AbortD [03:50] iconfig worked, it's showing me my loopback interface and that's it [03:50] sudobash: no.. I just dual boot between XP and ubuntu [03:50] mib_plniwiqt: ok, what about lspci [03:50] Fezzler1 single user mode or pop in a Ubuntu live cd. Both have the required tools to clone using DD. [03:50] danbhfive: plenty, well over 80 gb free on /home and 30+ on / [03:50] W: GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 58403026387EE263 [03:50] this is the problem [03:50] and how can i resolve it ??? [03:50] sudobash: there's a 90% chance I misunderstood your question though :) [03:51] Werenerd: and a reboot doesn't fix it either? I dunno [03:51] AidenXi> But after I clone using dd from the LiveCD, wont I need gparted to expand the partition and make use of the new drive size? === patrick is now known as Guest84275 [03:51] dinesh_: http://winehq.org/site/download-deb [03:51] hellooooooo [03:51] danbhfive: nope, I have been desperately trying that. all i get is a terminal login [03:51] dinesh_: go to the section: Trusiting the WineHQ Apt Repo [03:51] Add the GPG key that the repo owner/maintainer provides to your system. Or simply download/run the .deb file http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/ubuntu/intrepid/wine_1.1.9~winehq0~ubuntu~8.10-0ubuntu1_i386.deb [03:51] but how??? [03:52] goat|lappy: it shows me the ehternet controller.. it looks like it knows about it [03:52] goat lappy [03:52] dinesh_ download the file and double click it. [03:52] my sysctl.conf is messed which package contains this file so i reinstall that package [03:52] where is this section [03:52] how to find the gpg key if they dont provide ? [03:52] mib_plniwiqt: can you detail what the name of the ethernet chipset it says [03:52] goat|lappy: and it detected the manufacturer [03:52] from where i download this file ??? [03:52] hi all. I am trying to patch and build mythtv but when I do apt-get -y build-dep mythtv I am told that liblame0 does not exists and that liblame0 libmp3lame-dev replace it. Ive installed both those packages but the previous command still fails. Does anyone know how to get around this? [03:52] aidexi [03:52] http://winehq.org/site/download-deb [03:52] dinesh_: http://winehq.org/site/download-deb [03:52] Werenerd: well, a simple answer is to just reinstall, since you have a separate /home [03:53] dinesh_: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/Scott%20Ritchie.gpg [03:53] goat|lappy: nVidia Corporation MCP67 Ethernet [03:53] goat|lappy how you found out the gpg key [03:53] How do I change my default DNS in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex? [03:53] Is there an ubuntu forum I can post my questions on? This method isn't working for me. [03:53] and there are some related Host bridge entries [03:53] dinesh_: follow the easy to follow instructions where i suggested [03:53] nonamime_: its on the link i just gave [03:53] Does the world need another mirror for Ubuntu? I've got unlimited space/bandwith with my hosting service [03:54] sry can give me again [03:54] mib_plniwiqt: give me a sec [03:54] nonamime_: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/Scott%20Ritchie.gpg [03:54] goat|lappy: thanks [03:54] !mirror > trailbrain [03:54] trailbrain, please see my private message [03:54] How do I change my default DNS in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10)?

[03:55] now [03:56] hmmm it would seem klament that your packet is "getting lost" like when a windows box is trying to query an external DNS server when it is supposed to be querying internal Windows Sever DNS [03:56] dinesh_: yes, read it [03:56] nonamime_: yes, Download and save Scott Ritchie's key to your desktop. Then open the Authentication tab, click import key file, and select the key file you just saved (Scott Ritchie.gpg). It is safe to delete this file after doing this step. [03:56] dinesh_: wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - [03:56] it shows with a delay [03:56] danbhfive: thanks [03:56] thank u jrib [03:56] np : ) [03:56] Well, that's a new one. if my Conky is set to align left, and I have an icon on the desktop... conky covers it.. [03:56] is that normal?

[03:57] jrib, thanks [03:57] macjason0607: cool [03:57] hei guys... [03:57] bmharsha, /etc/resolv.conf [03:57] sorry jirb .. that was for me [03:57] which will probably point you somewhere else [03:57] ryty: ok [03:57] VERSION xchat 2.8.6 Ubuntu [03:57] sorry trouble again if i want only get the address without gpg key how i found out the gpg key [03:57] #myclug [03:58] nonamime_: look in the repository [03:58] I hate Comcast upgrades during waking hours =( [03:58] has anyone ever used k9 ? [03:58] ryty: An file by name resolv.conf is opened. [03:58] jrib, how do i get my computer on my ubuntu desktop .. or drives period [03:58] nonamime_: go to the site you've imported to apt, and most times you'll find the gpg key there [03:58] /etc/resolv.conf? [03:58] shouldn't my / be mounted ? [03:59] mib_plniwiqt: do you have a shared space to save a file? [03:59] macjason0607: it is. Go to your Places menu [03:59] mib_plniwiqt: i'd like you to paste cat /var/log/dmesg [03:59] jrib, i want it on my desktop [03:59] !icons | macjason0607 [03:59] macjason0607: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (GNOME) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE) [03:59] goat|lappy: i can try.. we'll see how well it does with USB... [03:59] ryty: Yes, I presses ALT+F2 and typed the address given by you. [03:59] mib_plniwiqt: usually well ;-) [04:00] bmharsha, as an example: nameserver 192.168.1.1 [04:00] goat|lappy: if you can't tell i'm a bit of a sceptic.. too many years of trying out linux and not getting anywhere over shit like this [04:00] bmharsha, man resolv.conf for more details [04:01] mib_plniwiqt: to each their own [04:01] why I cannot to get 192.168.1.1 in ubunt by firefox but I can do this in XP by firefox [04:01] bmharsha, ryty just a note. resolv.conf is overwritten by dhcpd everytime an ip is dynamically assigned [04:01] mib_plniwiqt: keep the channel family-friendly ;-) [04:01] why cant i make my samba password differnt than my regular password? [04:01] goat|lappy: :) no problem.. [04:02] ryty: Can I configure my DNS server to IP address = 218.248.240.46, 218.248.255.146 [04:02] Woo! I got it running again. Lucky me. [04:02] you force anyone who has samba shares to use the less secure samba passwor dstore method [04:02] hi everyone [04:02] bmharsha, nameserver 218.248.240.46 on one line [04:02] goat|lappy just directly type the address in the brower ? [04:02] and the next IP on the next line [04:02] usser: How do I stop my DNS address from being changed every time? [04:02] bmharsha, ideally, like usser said, you configure all of this through gnome or kde [04:02] hi, i was wondering. after i install LAMP, where can i find the config file? [04:02] nonamime_: what is the address, you may need to drop some of the path [04:02] Blegh...anyone have tips on getting SMB tunneling over SSH working? [04:03] bmharsha stop using dhcp [04:03] bmharsha, you have to edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [04:03] zerodevice: config for what? [04:03] AidenXi, well you could use stunnel [04:03] zerodevice LAMP = Linux Apache MySQL PHP, there are multiple config files. Which do you wish to edit? [04:03] AidenXi, but why not just use scp or sftp [04:03] bmharsha, add a line that basically says: prepend ip_address_of_DNS; [04:03] ryty: ok. [04:03] snakesqzns the SMB server is a Windows box behind a NAT/firewall. [04:04] goat|lappy the repository address [04:04] goat|lappy: what was the site to put the output? [04:04] usser: ok, shall I type my DNS address after "prepend ip_address_of_DNS;"? [04:04] !paste | mib_plniwiqt [04:04] mib_plniwiqt: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:05] aidenxi, sorry, configs for apache [04:05] you force anyone who has samba shares to use the less secure samba passwor dstore method [04:05] how do i make my samba password differnt than my normal one? [04:05] AidenXi, how do you expect to ssh to a windows box? [04:05] AidenXi: i've seen failed attempts at smb tunneling over vpn, due to routing issues with smb. but over ssh, you connect to another box, so you wouldn't actually run smb, you'd just run scp [04:05] zerodevice /etc/httpd/conf and conf.d directories. [04:05] bmharsha, no just "prepend 192.168.1.1;" without quotes where 192.168.1.1 is your dns [04:05] thanks [04:05] snakesqzns I'm SSHing from the Windows box to a server here. [04:05] scientes, man smbpasswd [04:06] scientes, that is, of course, if you're using a linux based samba server [04:06] why use ssh AND vpn? [04:06] AidenXi: so you have a tunnel ending at the server, and you want to transfer files from that windows box to the server? [04:06] just vpn, then connect via cifs/smb [04:06] goat|lappy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/76672/ [04:06] snakesqzns: ymmv with smb over vpn [04:06] goat|lappy exactly. Have media files I want to grab from the remote box. [04:06] no ryty they changed smbpasswd to be passwd too, they modified what the program does [04:07] scientes, you sure? [04:07] and didnt update to allow opting out of the change [04:07] yes [04:07] you could be right, I haven't tried it in Ubuntu yet :0\ [04:07] Greetings, room. [04:07] AidenXi: I say run putty on the windows box, and connect to the server via ssh [04:07] usser: ok, done. [04:07] smbpasswd uses a differnt password store, in microsofts specific hash format [04:07] AidenXi: save yourself a whole lot of hassle [04:07] bmharsha, now do sudo dhclient [04:07] goat|lappy get that far, doing any kind of local port forward results in a "Permission denied" in the putty event log. [04:07] bmharsha, for the changes to take effects [04:07] mib_plniwiqt: are you trying to get a wifi card working? [04:07] ubuntu now has the two databases merged [04:07] I have a little shell script to run a program a bunch of times, and i want to use the 'time' command to see how long each iteration takes, but when i put the line "time prog_2.exe" in a shell script it calls a different version of the 'time' program than i want [04:07] Does anyone have a link to resolve slow DNS resolution in Ubuntu 8.10?? [04:08] how can i login as root in ubuntu... cause i keep getting the message "you must login as root" when i want to experiment with stuff... [04:08] so its impossible to opt out of microsofts format or have differnt passwords [04:08] !root | ahtmly2k [04:08] bmharsha, that should refresh your network settings [04:08] ahtmly2k: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:08] AidenXi: i haven't tried running local services over putty ssh tunnel, don't have any help for you there [04:08] scientes, so you answered your own question ;-) [04:08] !sudo | ahtmly2k [04:08] goat|lappy: not yet.. i see there are drivers available for wifi -- so it shouldn't be too tough.. i just want ethernet for now [04:08] ahtmly2k: 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) [04:08] ryty, that doesnt mean im not pissed that ubuntu thinks they can do whatever they want with industry tools [04:08] i want to update my dads computer, but he only has a 56k modem. best way to use my computer(or his windows laptop at a cafe) to get massive amounts of updates? [04:08] usser: ok. [04:09] they are turning linux into anothr microsoft [04:09] sorry sir [04:09] goat|lappy: ethernet, so i can get the drivers.. lol [04:09] i can't do this [04:09] plzz help me [04:09] they didint even change the man apage and add a opt out of the new format [04:09] mib_plniwiqt: right, which "usually works out the box" :-) but must be something with the nvidia ethernet, looking now [04:09] goat/lappy [04:09] scientes: Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please, this is for support only [04:09] Does anyone have a link to resolve slow DNS resolution in Ubuntu 8.10?? [04:09] this is support [04:09] you broke it [04:09] scientes, if you don't like it, change it. That's always been the Linux motto [04:10] dinesh_: in the terminal, type this: wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - [04:10] helloooo [04:10] mib_plniwiqt: have you tried installing linux-backports-modules? [04:10] goat|lappy: if it helps at all.. i didn't have the ethernet plugged in when i installed.. so I skipped the manual network setup.. did that brake it? [04:10] scientes, there ARE other distros out there, LOTS of people try out multiple distros, some come back to ubuntu. [04:10] dinesh_, what's your problem? [04:10] goat|lappy: i'll try that.. [04:10] dinesh_: you have to have patience [04:10] !DNS [04:10] DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, and is an internet system used to translate names into IP Address. [04:10] answer is ok [04:11] goat|lappy thanks anyway =) Reading about using a Local Loopback Adapter somewhere along the line, gonna bang my head at it for a bit more before just using Orb.com's service...Would prefer to keep thing secure but if it must go over clear, nothing I can do about it. [04:11] !patience | dinesh_ [04:11] dinesh_: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:11] AidenXi: filezilla over ssh is secure, whats wrong with that? [04:11] patience [04:11] ok now im on ubuntu and ubuntu-offtopic [04:11] wat is this [04:11] dinesh_ download the .deb file from the link I provided earlier. This will download to your desktop, double click the file and the Package Manager will launch, click Install. [04:11] goat|lappy: it can't find the package [04:11] SuperDefenderX or whoever might be able to change the bot's texts: in messages like the DNS one, a link to wikipedia would fit niceley [04:11] !patience | dinesh_ [04:12] dinesh_: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:12] goat|lappy no streaming =) Windows box is on a gigabit connection, would prefer not to download everything I wanted to watch/listen to. [04:12] goat|lappy: is it going to be on the dvd, and if so, how do i tell it to look there? [04:12] www.ninjawords.com/patience [04:12] bmharsha, so did it work? [04:12] hmw_: If you want to suggest a new text for a factoid, the syntax is exactly this: "!factoidname is new factoid text goes here" [04:12] in irssi === phreak is now known as psusi [04:12] Is this the right channel for getting help on E17? [04:12] dmsuperman suggest? will it be stored and revised later? [04:12] YaroMan86: This is for getting help in Ubuntu [04:13] usser: No. DNS address got changed back to my default DNS. [04:13] hmw_: It'll be stored and at some point the ops will look at it [04:13] !dnscool [04:13] mib_plniwiqt: are you following my suggestiong about lbm? [04:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about dnscool [04:13] hmw_: If they deem it better than what's current they'll replace it [04:13] mib_plniwiqt: for the linux-backports-modules-intrepid [04:13] bmharsha, pastebin your /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [04:13] cool thx [04:13] mib_plniwiqt: try that [04:13] YaroMan86, try /join #e [04:13] is there anyone here with access to a windows/linux machine on the same network that would be able to try accessing a site with both OSes simultaneously? [04:13] dmsuperman: Okay, so what channel should I go to? [04:13] danbhfive: i didn't see the suggestion? [04:13] YaroMan86 join #e [04:13] Ah too slow [04:13] mib_plniwiqt: what are you installing? [04:13] AidenXi, :) [04:13] mib_plniwiqt: linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic I think [04:14] klament, take a look at IEs4linux [04:14] klament sure [04:14] as long as nobody is answering my question, i might as well be helpful. [04:14] bmharsha, oops my bad the line should read prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1; [04:14] bmharsha, sorry [04:14] AidenXi: would you try visiting www.tpl.toronto.on.ca? it's the toronto public library.. I'm curious to see if it loads up super fast for you in windows (1-3 seconds) while slow in linux (20+ seconds) [04:14] hi [04:15] usser: Its ok. [04:15] !DNS is new DNS DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, and is an internet system used to translate names into IP address. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System [04:15] danbhfive & goat|lappy: none of those packages are bing found [04:15] anyone know room about microdia web cam? [04:15] this question is kinda off topic but i figured someone here would know the answer. I know they have different types of motherboard styles like atx, etc but does server boards come in different sizes also ? [04:15] klament both about equal speed, 1.13 on win, .95 on firefox/lin. [04:15] ryty: I don't think that'd be a valid test unfortunately, as that would still end up using the linux TCP/IP stack [04:15] or are they all one type [04:15] hi [04:16] lwizardl: It's definitely offtopic, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to ask questions like that [04:16] klament, generally speaking it's what web devs are looking for. Sorry. [04:16] ok [04:16] klament: i can tell you that its taking me forever to load that site [04:16] lwizardl some yes, if its an upright server than the standard case/mobo sizes apply, if rack then depends on the server itself. Some half units while others full 1U [04:16] klament: about 30 sec [04:16] AidenXi: interesting.. i'm getting a few people on ##linux with slower results.. those were times in "seconds" right? [04:16] klament, same here [04:16] I wanto to install ubuntu in a pc with vista, but I dont know what is easer, to redimension a partition or to install it with wubi? [04:16] klament yes, from a 1gbit fiber line. [04:16] usser: shall I paste my DNS server address in dhclint.conf? [04:16] Goetz: wubi is easier, repartitioning is better :) [04:16] ryty: If you want to test in IE, a decent web developer would have a windows VM [04:16] mib_plniwiqt: well, just so you know, installing that package might help with your atheros wifi card, if you are on 8.10 [04:16] ryty: IES4Linux doesn't cut it [04:16] Goetz: at least, in my opinion. [04:17] goat|lappy: any idea why? :) [04:17] usser: sorry it was dhclient.conf [04:17] Goetz if you just want to try it out go with Wubi, if you want to keep it and learn from it in the long run do a full install. [04:17] mib_plniwiqt: duh, which you are, sorry [04:17] danbhfive: its an nvidia ethernet, if that matters [04:17] dmsuperman, don't try and be a superman [04:17] ryty: ... [04:17] all right.. ryty and aidenxi have the magical linux installs that load up the library page quickly.. damn you both! ;) [04:17] bmharsha, dhclient.conf yes [04:17] Cycom: will with wubi the system be slower? [04:17] klament: because their server is slow? [04:17] goat|lappy: but it isn't.. it loads fast for aidenxi and ryty [04:18] klament: or my tubes are clogged [04:18] klament heh well with 1gbit its pretty hard to load anything slow unless the server itself is slow. [04:18] AidenXi, ok the cases i'm looking at are rack mount 2U cases [04:18] goat|lappy: either way, if i have to go find some package and try to install it, imight as well get wifi working first [04:18] goat|lappy: not the case either.. it loads up slow for me in linux, fast in windows [04:18] klament, did I say it loaded quickly...sorry, it took about 20-25 seconds [04:18] usser: Shall I just paste it at the end of the file? [04:18] I have read that redimension the vista partition is danger for vista it self, so I dont know to do it or install with wubi. [04:18] ryty: oh.. in that case you're in my club :) I misinterpreted what you said [04:18] lwizardl then theyre normal 1U size with riser cards or pci in the upright position. [04:18] in linux [04:18] ryty: do you have a windows machine beside you? if so, try it in windows.. i'm curious to know if it loads fast for you in that [04:19] Goetz: more than likely. [04:19] bmharsha, delete the line that u have added before(if u did add it?) first. [04:19] mib_plniwiqt: hmm, i would try ifup eth0 [04:19] klament if it matters, chrome took about 17 seconds to load it...weird. [04:19] normally I have a VM, but my system is on crutches right now [04:19] goat|lappy / danbhfive -- will i find that package on the Ubuntu Studio cd? [04:19] bmharsha, and yea u can paste it at the end of the file [04:19] mib_plniwiqt: sudo ifup eth0 [04:19] goat|lappy: i already tried that.. it's not finding eth0 [04:19] mib_plniwiqt: maybe not, not sure entirely [04:19] mib_plniwiqt: I suspect that you may not find it on any of the iso's [04:20] AidenXi: just out of curiosity, have you done anything with your linux install that's changed how the ethernet card behaves? MTU sizes, etc? [04:20] AidenXi, ok then so any server board would work in it or should I have to pull the board in it and find out what it was [04:20] If I install with wubi is it possible to move then the installation to a real partition? [04:20] mib_plniwiqt: if the thumbdrive worked, then you can transfer through there [04:20] guys .. what codec do i need to play a movie ? [04:20] hello [04:20] klament, I have a logical ethernet bridge going for my VMs [04:20] nothing besides that [04:20] danbhfive: any idea where i can find it? i don't really understand what to do with it when i do find it [04:20] ryty: ah, bummer :( [04:21] okay i got a strange problem, no matter what i put in my xorg.conf, i cannot get above 800x600, even though i know the card is perfectly capable of resolutions higher [04:21] lwizardl Im a datacenter administrator, rarely do I see mobo boards in rack servers that arnt the "standard" size...aka the ones you find pretty much everywhere. [04:21] what is the default HOSTNAME in Ubuntu? [04:21] macjason0607: dvd's? [04:21] macjason0607: or avi? [04:21] redDEAD: the one you choose during install [04:22] klament tried it from a Ubuntu machine and a CentOS machine, both loaded <1s in Firefox and 10-20 seconds in Chrome. Both are clean install systems with the exception of a custom mplayer. [04:22] hello, i need some help installing aircrack on ubuntu 8.10, thx u [04:22] jrib, im using the alt install disc [04:22] usser: ok, its done [04:22] mib_plniwiqt: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-7-generic/download [04:22] redDEAD: you should still be asked for a hostname during the install iirc [04:22] <[1]KillerOrca> gremlin_,there is a fix, just goggle 'unable to change resolutions' [04:22] jrib, what would it be if i was installing using the live cd [04:22] AidenXi, ok thanks for the information. I'm looking to replace my current servers and found some used servers for cheap. but I'll probably end up rebuilding them into better machines [04:22] ghuzzy I would pay a visit to #aircrack as they are more suited to your needs. [04:22] danbhfive: are there any other dependancies for the backports? [04:22] alright [04:22] bmharsha, sudo dhclient and see if it fixes it [04:22] AidenXi: hmm.. it may be a driver problem with my specific network card or linux doesn't like my router then, as even doing an attempt to load the site from ubuntu's boot CD is slow... bizarre [04:22] Thanks every body! [04:23] redDEAD: do you mean *on* the live cd itself? Not on the install you obtain from running the installer? [04:23] klament, on a side note, it loaded fairly quickly in links [04:23] goat|lappy: doesn't look like it: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-7-generic [04:23] danbhfive: thanks..once i get it over to the box, how do i tell it to install from wherever i put it? is it just sudo apt-get [04:23] I want to rip subtitles from dvd . Is there program with nice gui too it that does that [04:23] ryty: really? let me try that out then :) [04:23] jrib, The hostname is a single word that identifies your syste to the network. [04:23] thank you aidenxi [04:23] mib_plniwiqt: dpkg -i /location [04:23] redDEAD: did you see my question? [04:23] klament, which as you probably know is text only [04:24] klament I'd say it was something on the sonicwall nat/dmz switch but if chrome loads it slow then I'd have to go with something in linux itself. Does the server do load balancing/web server do any kind of scripts/etc based on OS type? [04:24] mib_plniwiqt and danbhfive http://paste.ubuntu.com/76678/ [04:24] jrib, the name you receive from installin it on your system [04:24] danbhfive: thanks.. out of curiosity, what is dpkg? [04:24] mib_plniwiqt: get all that are listed in lines 5 and 6 [04:24] mib_plniwiqt: debian package manager [04:24] !dpkg [04:24] dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [04:25] sigh...i got here at 6 and asked a simple question of smb over ssh. its 2 hours later and ive helped who knows how many people and didnt even start on my own project >.< [04:25] redDEAD: there's no such thing as a default. The installer makes it USERNAME-desktop but you are prompted to change that during the install [04:25] ooh [04:25] mib_plniwiqt, that was for you up there [04:25] <[1]KillerOrca> gremlin_,I know it is somewhere, I just did it today, you back up your xorg.conf, then run a command, and reboot [04:25] jrib, that what i was looking for thanks [04:25] ryty: yeah.. I still get unimpressive speeds there.. 1K/s loading up text.. ah well, it was worth trying [04:26] usser: every time when I execute " sudo dhclient", I get disconnected and when I reconnect my DNS server name gets reset to its previous values. [04:26] thanks everyone..i'm going to give that a shot .. i'll be back in a few [04:26] bmharsha, pastebin your /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [04:26] AidenXi: i'm not too sure to be honest... I just always thought the site was slow by default until I tried loading it up one of the few times I was in windows and was disturbed by the difference in speed [04:26] !pastebin | bmharsha [04:26] bmharsha: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:26] bmharsha, wait server name? [04:27] klament dont have time to look through the scripting but I'm guessing it loads an alternate site based on which OS it detects, only thing I can think of. Or a load balancing system that does the same based on OS type. [04:27] bmharsha, you're trying to reset the name of your computer? [04:27] So, has there been a work-around for Ubuntu media streaming to the Xbox360? [04:27] usser: I want to use open dns server 208.67.222.222 [04:27] 208.67.220.220 [04:27] AidenXi: maybe i'll try installing firefox's user agent plugin :) [04:27] bmharsha edit /etc/resolv.conf and add those in/replace existing. [04:27] bmharsha, yea,yea thats what we are doing... [04:27] klament give it a shot, can't hurt =) [04:28] see [04:28] bmharsha, thats weird. pastebin dhclient.conf and /etc/resolv.conf [04:28] usser: ok. [04:28] bmharsha and you may have to do a /etc/init.d/network (or networking, I forget) restart [04:28] bmharsha if you're running your own DNS client then /etc/init.d/bind restart [04:29] what is the best way to lock down a user ssh session? [04:29] and here i am.. still [04:29] <[1]KillerOrca> macjason0607,not sure if your question was answered, but if you google 'install dvd playback in ubuntu' you can find the command there [04:29] mitchell_ rbash [04:29] mitchell_ if you want to spend a lot of time doing it, look up hardening and jailed ssh. [04:29] <[1]KillerOrca> macjason0607,but if you use totem it will look for the codecs when you try and play the disc [04:30] AidenXi, thanks ill check both out [04:30] usser: how to use pastebin feature? [04:30] i hate mondays, heroes chuck terminator etc all air today...i needs moar time! [04:30] bmharsha go to pastebin.ca and copy/paste the text there. [04:30] bmharsha, just go to pastebin.com paste your text and give us the link [04:30] bmharsha actually paste.ubuntu.com [04:30] Hi folks. I'm having problems getting Grid Wars to run. I installed the package from getdeb, but when I click on the icon to run the game, nothing happens. Could someone please help a newbie out? === dhany is now known as iqkyu [04:31] Evilbadwrong are your graphics drivers installed (try enabling desktop effects)? [04:31] AidenXi: Yes, they are installed and configured properly. [04:31] usser: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=m3274ec75 [04:32] Evilbadwrong check logs that grid wars produces or check /var/log/messages [04:32] I get an error message that says it cannot calculate tex. [04:32] Evilbadwrong is that the full error message? [04:33] bmharsha, and dhclient.conf [04:33] I believe so...hang on, let me check again. [04:33] how many gigs is a standard install of Ubuntu Hardy, without Open Office, Pidgin, and about twenty smaller proggy's? [04:33] <[1]KillerOrca> 2 maybe [04:33] i compiled empathy source but after installation no voice chat option is hsowing [04:33] I seem to be having trouble installing the py libraries using "easy_install py". Works fine on etch, in ubuntu I get gcc errors? [04:33] bmharsha -> what is the problem again? [04:33] i have hard disk with two partitions one is ext3 the other ntfs. I want to reformat ntfs to ext3 and join to existing ext3 (on which Ubuntu is on). Is that possible to do it? [04:33] how to enable voice chat in empathy? [04:34] usser: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=m2336988e [04:34] bmharsha, i think sudo dhclient is not enough. try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [04:34] Hmm...very odd. In my error log, it says this: Can not set graphics mode: Windowed - 1024X768 [04:34] chetnick, Use GParted from your apps menu :) [04:34] usser: I have pasted dhclient.conf [04:34] So how do I get it so when I add a user to the server, it adds that user to NIS [04:34] greghere: thanks [04:35] I'm going to try and reinstall the game... [04:35] what do i do now that the package is installed? [04:35] bmharsha, no man add this: prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.220.220; [04:35] bmharsha, and this prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222; [04:35] My "New" Ubuntu install has used the entire 39.2 GB partition :( [04:35] usser: ok. [04:36] if my user is added to a group by the root user, why can't I edit folders created by that group? [04:36] mib_plniwiqt: does your wifi card work? ie, does it show up with iwconfig? [04:36] Evilbadwrong are you running desktop effects while trying to run the game? [04:36] Evilbadwrong if so, turn it off. Some opengl apps have issues with effects [04:36] danbhfive: it says no wireless extensions [04:36] beilabs, permissions are owner group others. and owner might have permissions to write but group might not [04:36] usser: prepend means adding the text in the beggining of the file. Correct? [04:37] bmharsha correct [04:37] Where would I start to investigate? [04:37] bmharsha, no literally add this line prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.220.220; [04:37] AidenXi: Thanks. [04:38] greghere you intentionally/misclicked "automatic" while installing. This uses any free space that it doesnt find another OS on and does a install. [04:38] what dirs do i need to backup if i want to reinstall ubunutu from scratch then transfer back the data? /home - /etc/ ? [04:39] where can i get geforce mx400 drivers for ubuntu? thank you [04:39] wookienz home would contain all your user settings and files, I would weed through /etc and backup only those files you need. [04:39] wookienz also note some apps use /var and other locations. [04:39] AidenXi, The partition has an NTFS partition of 39.15GB, free space of 107GB, and my Ubuntu install of 39.2ishGB [04:39] usser: done, http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=m4ac06477. [04:39] mib_plniwiqt: I guess it didn't work. O well. Atheros just opensourced their drivers, and it wasn't quite sorted by the time intrepid was released. Maybe you will have better luck with jaunty, or ndiswrapper even if you are desperate for wifi. Sorry things are working crappy for ya [04:40] AidenXi: thoughti would haveto ferret around to find what to backup. [04:40] bmharsha, yes that looks right [04:40] usser: I have pasted the updated dhclient.conf file link. [04:40] bugger [04:40] bmharsha, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [04:40] AidenXi, How do I free up some space? [04:40] usser, how could I allow the entire group write to that folder then? [04:40] danbhfive: yeah, this has always been my linux experience.. i really want to move to ubuntu, but this type of stuff is really a roadblock [04:41] usser: Shall I execute "sudo dhclient" now? [04:41] usser: ok. [04:41] greghere use gparted off a live cd to resize the ubuntu partition [04:41] hey [04:41] beilabs, sudo chmod 775 foldername [04:42] AidenXi, Thanks, Ok, but what has used up all the space? [04:42] beilabs, 7 basically means all permissions and each digit stands for owner/group/others [04:42] greghere nothing, the ubuntu install saw an existing partition of that size and created one for you of the same size in case you want to add more OS'es later. [04:42] greghere its all empty space, just reserved for Ubuntu [04:42] Ok...when I try to run Grid Wars from the terminal, I get the following error: "Unable to calculate tex sizeroot@ubuntu:/usr/share/games/gridwars#'.....can anyone help me? [04:43] AidenXi, Trouble is that i cant do any updates because my disk is full? :( [04:43] hey guys lopking for help for my wireless card configuration [04:43] hello folks - I'm just some large files across via Nautilus on a recent Seagate drive. I'm getting 13 MB/sec which I think is far too slow!! Any ideas? [04:43] greghere do an ls -la in /var/log and pastebin [04:44] Anyone ever seen an error message like that? [04:44] anyone could help?? [04:44] dinsdale07 IDE? [04:44] well, I'm actually "copieng" these files , AidenXi no, SATA, that's the wired thing [04:44] usser: I just execute command "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart", terminal showed this message "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ok" [04:44] guaraguaopr ask what exactly you need help with regarding the configuration. Also tell us the chipset/make/model/etc. [04:44] how do i install ndiswrapper? [04:44] mib_plniwiqt: you may have some luck filing a bug report on launchpad [04:44] dinsdale07 if its from the same hardrive to the same hardrive, thats normal then. [04:45] bmharsha, then sudo dhclient [04:45] usser: ok [04:45] mib_plniwiqt: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/76680/ [04:45] AidenXi, /var /log "no such file or directory" [04:45] It's really weird...up until now, every game I've installed from Getdeb has worked flawlessly....just not Gridwars for some reason. :( [04:46] greghere no space after /var [04:46] hello all. [04:46] greghere use tab autocomplete [04:46] danbhfive: i can't just point and click eh? [04:46] Hello Red_Wraith =) [04:46] AidenXi, no. It's from a 500GB 7200.10 to a 1.5TB, both Seagate. These are also large files so In my experience that usually goes quick. [04:46] Evilbadwrong: is it 3-d accelerated? and if so, is that the first 3-d accelerated game you've tried running? [04:46] mib_plniwiqt: you would have to transfer over the windows driver for your wifi card, and the two ndiswrapper packages [04:46] Does anyone know a good program that can download streaming video? [04:46] mib_plniwiqt: hehe, nope, still more pain : ) [04:47] <[1]KillerOrca> Red_Wraith, can do it with vlc i think [04:47] klament: I *believe* it's 3d accelerated...but I've never had any problems with 3d accelerated games before. I get this error message in the terminal: Unable to calculate tex sizeroot@ubuntu:/usr/share/games/gridwars# [04:47] usser: "/etc/resolv.conf" got reset to its default DNS server. [04:47] danbhfive some day there will be one distro to rule them all.. [04:47] AidenXi, sorry to be a pain, but how do I "pastebin" [04:47] Its a Atheros AR242x Wireless PCIAdapdter and I haven't be able to pu it to work [04:47] Red_Wraith, you mean youtube stuff? - otherwise VLC is the killer. [04:47] greghere go to paste.ubuntu.com and copy/paste the output from terminal there. [04:47] Evilbadwrong: yeah.. i was poking around with that error msg on google and came across an ubuntu forums msg with the same problem.. no one replied with a fix though :) the 3d accel thing is the only thing I could think of unfortunately [04:47] Yeah, youtube stuff. Adobe Flash. [04:48] klament: Dang...the game worked flawlessly on my other ubuntu box when I installed it earlier tonight...and that was with an ATI card! [04:48] bmharsha, just tried it here. two more dns servers were added to /etc/resolv.conf [04:48] Is there any way to do it? [04:48] finally no need to wear welding glasses using mobile 8 series nvidia cards [04:48] mib_plniwiqt: well, this is more the kernel than the distro. I send my wishes to hoping that one day, all drivers will be open sourced [04:49] They hide the real file in the flash program which makes things difficult. [04:49] usser: "/etc/resolv.conf" got reset to its default DNS server. [04:49] <[1]KillerOrca> Red_Wraith, I found one way with mplayer [04:49] Red_Wraith, I used some services on the internet before in the past. But can't remember an exact address. have you tried googlig from one? [04:49] hi [04:49] bmharsha1, dunno it works here [04:49] [1]KillerOrca: with mplayer? youtube? how? [04:49] somebody can help me? [04:49] AidenXi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/76681/ [04:50] ok im gone from here before its midnight nad i still havnt started my project [04:50] bmharsha, remove two lines at the top of /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [04:50] ...right after i help greghere >.< [04:50] bmharsha, you added two ips there [04:50] dinsdale07: Yeah, I googled it, but I don't trust them, and most of them are for windows. I never heard of wine getting a virus, but I don't want to try. [04:50] Evilbadwrong: the solution I found says "edit the config file and change screen width/screen height to your desktop's resolution" [04:50] Red_Wraith: I think elisa can play flv , can't vlc too ? [04:50] <[1]KillerOrca> Red_Wraith,going off a book I have in front of me: mplayer -just to make sure it is the video url [04:51] daxroc1: the problem isn't playing the flv, it is getting it. [04:51] greghere do a "du -h" and look for the biggest dir. [04:51] usser: my Internet connection is in Bridging mode that is I need to enter user name and password to get connected to Internet. [04:51] <[1]KillerOrca> Red_Wraith,then : mplayer URL -dumpstream -dumpfile filename [04:51] [1]KillerOrca: right, but you can't get the video url on youtube and hulu cuz it's hidden in the flash file. === gretch_ is now known as gretchen === d0nets is now known as d0netsFN === wobblyw1 is now known as wobblywu [04:52] Red_Wraith, try one of the firefox addons [04:52] bmharsha, it doesn't matter, as long as you get dynamic ip, dhclient is run and it sets dns [04:52] oh man, that speed is killing me - 5 hours for 270GB of datatransfer. Anyone ever had speed problems with seagate drives on 8.04? [04:52] <[1]KillerOrca> the source url can be in the website url or the web page' source code [04:52] bmharsha, remove two ips at the top of /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [04:52] How would I make a script that kills a process with a certain name? [04:53] usser: ok. [04:53] Peddy1, killall [04:53] Peddy1, ie killall processname [04:53] AidenXi, biggest directory is . (40mb), next Mozilla (20mb) [04:53] <[1]KillerOrca> Red_Wraith,there is also a alpha application, boxee that is trying to do this [04:53] lagann_: which one? [04:53] greghere ah forgot, switch to / first [04:53] thanks usser. [04:53] [1]KillerOrca: does it work? [04:53] Red_Wraith, video helper [04:54] greghere might be easier to do it from Nautilus, thta way you can do deeper until you find where the space went. [04:54] need some advise in how to get to work an Atheros AR242x Wireless PCI === [baddog] is now known as baddog [04:54] greghere I'd say Ubuntu did a "migration" of your Windows data but the partition size is equal so that theory doesn't work. [04:54] guaraguaopr http://madberry.org/2008/11/how-to-get-atheros-ar242x-to-work-on-810-intrepid-ibex/ [04:54] lagann_: can't find it on the firefox website... [04:55] <[1]KillerOrca> Red_Wraith,unsure since it is in alpha and I haven't tried it yet, but if you can vies the web-page source you can find the url [04:55] danbhfive: well there was some progress with that backports package.... it fixed the ethernet connection! woo! [04:55] guaraguaopr, on intrepid? [04:55] Hi people. I have two issues that I would have to have it addressed asap. #1) How do you use MoBloquer? I have Moblock installed and running. I can't run the Mobloquer -- nor do I know how to start one. #2) Lately, it seems that my Ubuntu only have the prolonged life of 40 minutes before it crash when I'm running GNome Player (or general use). [04:55] lagann_: found it. [04:55] lagann_: thank you [04:55] is there any way to tell a particular executable "Do not listen on any ports, do not connect to any remote ports on the internet, do not write or change permissions of any directory but the one the executable is in and its subdirectories?" [04:55] [1]KillerOrca: The flash file source is usually not in the web page source. [04:56] klament, sounds similar to setting up chroot environment [04:56] klament run the app as chroot/different user with restricted permissions? [04:57] ok AidenXi let's try it [04:57] AidenXi, / 7.5 GB, /var 269mb, rest between 20mb and 8kb [04:57] <[2]KillerOrca> Red_Wraith,if you are in firefox just go edet-.view page source [04:57] <[2]KillerOrca> sigh [04:57] how can i login as root in ubuntu... cause i keep getting the message "you must login as root" when i want to experiment with stuff... [04:57] greghere then you're not using all of the 30+ gigs, its just allocated to Ubuntu/ext3. Use gparted on a live cd to resize that partition if you want more free space for windows/etc. [04:57] ahtmly2k, sudo bash [04:57] [2]KillerOrca: Right, but even if you view the source, the url for the video is in the COMPILED flash file. [04:58] tq === dmsuperm1n is now known as dmsuperman_ [04:58] Red_Wraith wireshark to sniff the location of the video. [04:58] AidenXi / usser hmm.. ok, thank you :) [04:58] ahtmly2k, http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-change-the-root-password-in-ubuntu [04:58] Red_Wraith if that doesn't work then the only programs are windows only--replay media catcher does a fine job. [04:58] or use sudo [04:58] guaraguaopr, ignore that guide! [04:59] Red_Wraith programs I know* [04:59] I have windblows on a seperate partition (and it can stay there!!) so all I really need is to find where all my space went? === Katie-Offline is now known as KatieKitty [04:59] guaraguaopr, try putting ath_pci into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [04:59] greghere are you talking about the 107GB of free space? [04:59] AidenXi: thank you. [04:59] AidenXi, Thank you very much for you assistance and valuable time :) [04:59] guaraguaopr, then rebooting, it should fix it. that atheros card works right out of the box on intrepid no need to compile stuff [05:00] AidenXi / usser that user would still be able to access the internet though, no? ie: the software could open up a new socket and connect elsewhere .. is there any way of having that program run without manually removing eth0 from ifconfig? [05:00] AidenXi, No thats on a seperate partition. [05:00] icant, im trying to update the signatures on "virus scanner" but it keeps on saying dat i have to login as root [05:00] i am in root [05:00] ahtmly2k open terminal and run the scanner as sudo [05:00] klament, you won't have to remove eth0 your chroot simply would have no networking. chroot is like a system within a system, it only has what u decide to put there [05:00] radeon9600, driver "ati", login screen (finally at least) in clone mode. Once I log in, the second screen goes blank. I remember setting something in xorg to screenwitdh*2 (because i want 2 same sized screens) - hints? [05:01] klament what usser said =) [05:01] anyone know how to configure icons and themes for kde 3 in Intrepid (now that kcontrol is gone)? [05:01] usser: oh.. I misunderstood what it does then.. the manpage to chroot made it look like (to me) that it just abstract the directory the user is in [05:01] how do i do that? i dont know the name for it in terminal [05:01] *abstracts [05:01] i just installed ubuntu, I installed w32codecs, what else should i install to play movies and hear music? [05:02] klament chroot is powerful, really powerful. Look up guides on howtoforge and it should explain how you need to set it up to block networking. [05:02] So how do I get it so when I add a user to the server, it adds that user to NIS [05:02] meyos: dvd codec for enmcrypted dvds [05:02] i need some help, i am trying to install ubuntu looks and it says to copy a few files and this is the command i use: sudo cp home/ivo/documents/ubuntulooks/libubuntulooks.so\ /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/ it says there is no file in there by the name but it is the right name and everything, and also soemtimes it says it cannot find the dest folder, is there a break between the copy path and dest path? [05:02] meyos- ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:03] anybody from orizaba mexico? [05:03] evilbug: where are the restricted extras? [05:03] klament, yea specially set environment, think of it as copying all your /etc /bin /sbin folders in another folder and running from that folder. IE your system wont see beyond that chrooted environment. [05:03] or from veracruz [05:03] croivzeba use tab completion to make sure nothing is mispelled. [05:03] Hi people. I have two issues that I would have to have it addressed asap. #1) How do you use MoBloquer? I have Moblock installed and running. I can't run the Mobloquer -- nor do I know how to start one. #2) Lately, it seems that my Ubuntu only have the prolonged life of 40 minutes before it crash when I'm running GNome Player (or general use). [05:03] i need help up in here [05:03] meyos- open up a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [05:03] thanks [05:03] :P [05:03] Thank you Saga for not spamming that every 10 seconds =) [05:03] k i'll try now [05:04] anybody from mexico? [05:04] well [05:04] josel #ubuntu-es if you need assistance in Spanish. [05:04] thanx [05:04] AidenXi, That's 10 minutes. :) [05:05] Saga I know, just thanking you lol I'll dig into your issue after dinner if you still need help. [05:05] my company it's going to go down [05:05] meyos: dvd codec for enmcrypted dvds - libdvdcss2 i think (maybe google for it without the 2) [05:05] AidenXi, Will do. I'm surfing the web. [05:05] Anyone used NIS before? [05:05] how i configure it in spanish? [05:08] Anyone used NIS before? [05:08] hello, i want to install kubuntu but I'm not sure if I'm 32 or 64 bit. I just got a laptop that's a duo core. It's called T5870 [05:08] you can install either, but its probably better to stick to 32 bit [05:09] can i still use all my ram if i do? [05:09] minime283, why 32 better? :/ I think 64 is better =] [05:09] tieTYT2, is you 4GB+ you need 64 [05:09] if* [05:09] I've just heard of compatibility issues still [05:09] yah how much RAM tieTYT2 [05:09] right now i'm 3 [05:09] 3gb [05:09] minime283, no it's all good I've been using 64 since gutsy [05:09] looks like i'm fine, thanks [05:09] 3gb would work with 32bit [05:10] has anyone else haad trouble installing the py libraries on intrepid? ( http://codespeak.net/py/) [05:10] really? Maybe I should switch over. [05:10] eay_install py fails on a gcc error? [05:10] you don't have ANY problems at all with 64 bit? [05:10] Hi. I was just wondering is there anyway to use an older kernel than the one that comes with ubuntu intrepid? [05:10] Saga System->Preferences->Sessions, add "mobloquer --tray" [05:10] datakid i had trouble with different packages, when i was using the local server. maybe the main server will deliver [05:10] ah,. ok - I'll try that, cheers [05:10] hmw_ [05:11] minime283, the only problem was java on 64 you needed 32 bit browser to use sun 32 bit plugin for firefox but now 64 bit icedtea java is working great on firefox 64 =] [05:11] hehe [05:11] Saga and either do that in a terminal or logout/in. [05:11] AidenXi, command not found. [05:11] i went from vista straight to kubuntu. This is such a good deed I feel like I should get some sort of tax return. [05:11] Either I'm missing on Moblocquer. [05:11] Saga updatedb && locate mobloquer [05:11] hmw_ sorry, do you mean the main ubuntu server? easy_install is similar to apt-get for python yes, so it shouldn't matter which servers my ubuntu sources come from? [05:11] Anyone used NIS before? [05:12] Saga if it finds nothing redo your install of mobloquer, its not installed. [05:12] Now I shall go have dinner =) [05:12] datakid i dont know really. i just found out, that the austrian server didnt have some packages, it should have had. i selected main, which helped [05:12] ok, cheers hmw_ [05:12] AidenXi, I installed this on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846171 [05:13] how to disable services on startup for a server? no gui [05:13] evening peeps [05:13] clear [05:14] sorry habit [05:14] hrm tripitakit recommended xfs to me [05:14] does anyone know why ?

[05:15] apart from the agressive cache [05:15] what do i type in the terminal to see how much hdd space i have free [05:16] gnu2it2, ls /home/username/.config/autostart [05:16] bouma: xfs is very stable [05:16] bouma: its very good filesystem for media and large files [05:16] is lame or iTunes a better mp3 encoder? [05:16] itunes is not an encoder [05:16] it has one though [05:16] so lame, technically [05:16] :-P [05:17] ok...is lame or the encoder that Itunes uses better at creating mp3s? [05:17] hi fellas [05:17] <[2]KillerOrca> Red_Wraith,Maybe you can get this program running under wine then try the mplayer way? http://www.streamingstar.com/streaming-media-faq/How-to-get-the-streaming-media-URL.htm [05:17] "lame aint mp3 encoder" either [05:17] used to wasn't ;) [05:18] [2]KillerOrca: thank you. [05:18] any QT4 developwers here [05:18] AidenXi: I'm trying wireshark now. [05:18] developers* [05:18] services like xdm and bluetooth run as root? [05:18] does iTunes support linux now? [05:18] candykiller: no [05:18] nope [05:18] I do not believe so [05:19] i would encode on a mac and transfer the files over [05:19] dang, I have an iPhone :( Guess I'll continue to use my roommates mac for upgrades, lol [05:19] [2]KillerOrca: looks interesting, but essentially the same as wireshark [05:19] but i think lame (the non-encoder :P) encodes well enough [05:19] no QT developers? [05:20] isnt QT the kde toolkit? [05:20] I don't use KDE but I use QT [05:20] <[2]KillerOrca> Red_Wraith,well if you manage to find a method to get it to work send me a PM, I'd like to know myself out of curiousity [05:20] geez, maybe i shouldn't install ubuntu on my machine: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=904371&highlight=sl500 [05:20] ah [05:21] QT4 is pretty nuice [05:21] nice [05:21] egc: QT is comparable to GTK [05:21] QT uses GTK libs [05:21] candykiller_: i think that amarok supports ipods [05:21] I used it on FreeBSd all the time [05:21] yeah thats what i thought [05:21] tieTYT2: why is that ? [05:21] hi can some one help me plz im trying to install me web cam logitech quic cam chat but i cant [05:22] diken: I need iTunes specifically to install updates to my iPhone though is all [05:22] Shadow__: i was just thinking theres probably a chan more focussed on QT [05:22] hmw_ changing sources to the main server didn't work for me [05:22] ahh [05:22] candykiller: for all the reasons in that thread [05:22] any one know of getting a zune to fully work in linux? [05:22] datakid: didn't do what? [05:22] egc: i was just curiouis [05:22] datakid: did you update? [05:22] is there a way to know if these issues have been resolved? [05:23] tieTYT2: because a wireless card won't work initially? [05:23] Okay, managed to get a swf off youtube. [05:23] Now what? [05:23] Hmm.. [05:23] candykiller: yeah, it might be nice to be able to use my wireless card [05:23] <[2]KillerOrca> by get you mean download? [05:23] I don't think the video is in the swf [05:23] Yes. [05:23] ..... Does anyone know why Thunar is opening *ANY* files with Nautilus CD Burner, instead of the associated application? For example, music.mp3 program.deb open with cd burner :p [05:23] I g\ot wireless to work on FreeBSD [05:23] goat|lappy, I'm tryioong to install the python py library ($easy_install py) [05:23] and it's failing on a gcc error [05:24] tieTYT2: I have both a wireless and cable modem in my computer and they both worked fine with the recommended hardware drivers [05:24] <[2]KillerOrca> Red_Wraith,youtube, from my searches, is supposed to be easy, you can just download it is an mp4 [05:24] tieTYT2: not saying you wouldn't or couldn't have problems, but it's definately worth a try [05:24] whats the error?

[05:24] datakid: whats the error [05:24] candykiller: i'm not sure if i have the disk to go back if it doesn't work [05:24] let me check [05:24] <[2]KillerOrca> http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/04/download-youtube-videos-as-mp4-files.html [05:25] [2]KillerOrca: looks interesting. [05:25] nope [05:25] candykiller_: give vmware a shot, run xp as required although you have to give up about 4 or 5 gigs of hd... [05:25] <[2]KillerOrca> Red_Wraith,nothing on hulu though unfortunately [05:25] [2]KillerOrca: Yeah, it's a shame. [05:26] diken: I have vista installed on my other harddrive, but it's almost just as fast to borrow my roommates mac and download the new updates then it is to wait for vista to boot up, lmao [05:26] Saga any progress? === VoX is now known as vox [05:26] <[2]KillerOrca> irc, not ubuntu question, since I temporarily lost my connection how do I 'kill' the other me? [05:27] mapugina: there is a kernel update in proposed [05:27] tieTYT2: you are running vista? [05:27] AidenXi, Not really -- I'm just trying to open ports for AIM since MoBlock X'd it out. [05:27] So, the answer is no at the moment? [05:27] goat|lappy: http://datakid.pastebin.com/m2f24370d [05:27] But I don't think Moblocquer is installed. [05:27] Saga heh did locate find anything? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [05:27] candykiller_: shame to have vista take up hd space [05:27] Well, only the file I downloaded. [05:27] mapugina: there may be, i'm not sure, but i know there is an updated kernel in the proposed repo [05:28] [2]KillerOrca, if your nick is registered you can use /ns ghost nick pass [05:28] goat|lappy, as you can see I was actually using buildout, but it's failing on the easy_install....it works on debian etch fine though [05:28] I am more looking to downgrade. I want to use an older kernel [05:28] mapugina: sorry, not sure [05:28] diken: It's on a 320gig seagate drive, so I really don't much care. though im running linux on a 74gb Raptor @ 10k RPM :D [05:28] diken: by the way, im not getting your messages in red because my name doesn't have a _ at the end of it :D [05:28] hi can some one help me plz im trying to install my webcam but i got a nerror mesage that says that kernel compiler and gcc seem to be diferente versions [05:29] candykiller: rapter vs a SATA make a lot of diff?

[05:29] ah, maybe it'sdd build essential - yes, gcc is installed [05:29] mapugina: enable it in the updates tab of software sources [05:29] candykiller: thougth it did...sorry [05:30] datakid: try grabbing build-essential [05:30] wookienz: I've never really tested it properly to say yes or no, anytime I've ever looked at it on paper though it shows a good amount of gain, especially when running harddrive operations like indexing and booting [05:30] diken: it did last night for some reason, dunno why, lol [05:30] candykiller they are not cheap! it in a normal beige box or server? [05:31] is agpgart compiled into the kernel? [05:31] wokienz: I built it about a year ago, i got like a 30lb Thermaltake Armor Fullcase that it's sitting in...I could literally shelter a baby in this thing, lol [05:32] Hello.

I heard its a great alternative. ;) [05:34] wookienz: I built it about a year ago, i got like a 30lb Thermaltake Armor Fullcase that it's sitting in...I could literally shelter a baby in this thing, lol [05:35] Things have quieted down...maybe I can finally go setup that ssh tunnel =) [05:36] candykiller: i had a thermaltake case a while back, just too huge! now have a shuttle box. [05:36] how can an smtp be so open, anyone can send email as any address through this one. [05:36] there's way too many programs out theere that state their building for Linux but nothing ever shows up -_- [05:36] datakid: do you have g++ installed? [05:36] wookienz: I never plan on buying another case again...lol [05:36] yes [05:36] datakid: try installing that as well, although it should be installed [05:36] wookienz: just upgrading this machine every year or so [05:36] goat|lappy - it's installed :) [05:37] and python2.5-dev? [05:37] datakid: ^^ [05:37] e-frame that SMTP server is setup as an open relay without any authentication/restrictions. [05:37] candykiller: thats the prob withs huttle boxes, you have to buy a whole new one with mobo installed.almost timefor a enw machine so i think ill go backto normal boxes. [05:37] datakid: you said python 2.5 right? [05:38] yep [05:38] AidenXi: yes, and that allow anyone to send fake mail [05:38] goat|lappy, yes [05:38] e-frame which smtp server software? Go over the config file with a fine tooth comb and harden it. [05:38] datakid: is the -dev package installed? [05:38] what is a good language for thesis ? [05:38] this is my ISP's smtp server [05:38] wookienz: what do you mean? I'm about to upgrade my gfx card and that's the only thing I really need to upgrade to run anything out on the market, lol [05:38] python-dev? [05:38] candykiller: maybe with a couple of raptors in raid! [05:38] AidenXi: this is my ISP's smtp server [05:38] datakid: probly python2.5-dev [05:39] wookienz: I'll be buying a SSD next :P [05:39] e-frame they have it configured to allow their own IP's then. Try it from an outside line and see if you can get in =) [05:39] goat|lappy: I'l'l take a look (dancing between machines :) ) [05:39] hi, all ,how can i enable css with django and apache web server? can any one help? [05:39] shuttle boxes, if you want to go to a new socket, or buy a high end card (they wont all ift in the small boxes [05:39] datakid: ok [05:39] ) need a full box upgrade. [05:39] e-frame lots of ISP's do this, they see all the traffic so if someone abuses it they know exactly who it was. === patrick is now known as Guest53979 [05:39] test [05:39] candykiller: SSD = $$$! [05:39] huwenfeng css is client side scripting, you don't enable it on the server. [05:40] wookienz theyre coming down in price! Can grab a 32GB for ~$100 [05:40] wookienz: yeah but I want to try them out, they've been delayed too long in the PC world [05:40] AidenXi: even that i got dynamic IP, they have the log, right? [05:40] yes, but , it just does not work [05:40] e-frame you still authenticate to your ISP somehow dont you? [05:40] im running my ubunutu server off a compaxt flash card. [05:40] without django , it works [05:40] i wonder what the speed dif is? [05:40] AidenXi: most ISP's don't require auth from the ISP's internal network [05:41] AidenXi: cause its logged by ip [05:41] AidenXi: the only authentication to the ISP is only at the modem. [05:41] huwenfeng -> those are not ubuntu topic, can you move it over to #apache [05:41] wookienz: you can run linux off a typewriter duct taped to a black and white television, lol [05:41] goat|lappy meant auth as in a dsl modem authenticating to an atm, not smtp auth. [05:41] AidenXi: oh, i'll stay out of it :-P [05:41] candykiller: very true! [05:41] what package has the socket(2) man page? [05:41] goat|lappy =) heh i am an isp, smtp is completely open for all of our IP's [05:42] AidenXi: ahh [05:42] So I'm having a problem with my Flash drivers in FF in 8.10 x64-bit [05:42] !flash > candykiller [05:42] candykiller, please see my private message [05:43] They work most of the time, but at times the screen will turn brown, i can hear sound, but no video...I'll have to reboot the X server to get it working again [05:43] AidenXi: does your ISP give dynamic IPs also ? [05:43] I have flash installed, and the correct way for x64 bit, and it works, but sometimes just seems to bug out [05:43] e-frame yes, but the clients connect via dial-up user/pass or dsl modem authentication.

[05:55] goat|lappy: 8.10 is supporting 173.xx as well, that's the newer ones right? [05:56] candykiller: the 173 driver is not the newest, 177.xx is running on my main system [05:56] wookienz: I'm going to have to switch over once Starcraft II and Diablo III come back out, but for daily operations linux rules [05:56] candykiller: for 9800gx2 card === priley86 is now known as priley86_ [05:57] goat|lappy: Hmm, the descriptions for the two are deceiving then, because if I remember correclty it states 173.xx is for the newer nvidia cards [05:57] candykiller: that is true [05:57] hey how do i see my sound module [05:57] goat|lappy: because I'm running 177.xx for my 8 series [05:57] candykiller: iirc, there are 4 nvidia drivers [05:57] im runing a 8600gt as well in my shuttle box... getting a bit long in the tooth an my small box wont take the biugger cards, thus the ned for the switch to a normal box [05:58] hey how do i see my sound module [05:58] i mean how do i see its code [05:58] DarkKnight: what are you trying to accomplish? [05:58] So are CPU fans worth the extra effort? [05:58] you want to look at driver source code? [05:58] candykiller: depends if you need it... got temp issues? [05:59] candykiller: they will do as advertised [05:59] goat|lappy not really, but will it preserve the CPU? [05:59] eh, i guess, running the cpu cooler can increase its life to an extent, i'm not too up on studies determining by how much [05:59] I'm trying to get compiz working to get "the cube effect" i dont have Advanced Desktop Effects Settings under System>Preferances, do i need to install something? [06:00] goat|lappy; previously wen my snd-hda-intel was installed...i couldn't hear the sounds....then someone told me 2 add something inthe code and wen i did it i started hearing sounds....now i m going 4 a fresh install of ubuntu....so i decided to keep a back up ofd that code so dat i don't have to again ask someone to help me out [06:00] goat|lappy: I'm just running the same manufactures intel fan...lol [06:00] candykiller: sometimes thats fine [06:00] i input xrandr -q and only one monitor comes up. I am using a laptop and lcd plugged in through vga. But xrandr can't see the extra pluggin [06:00] DarkKnight: so you kept a copy of what? [06:00] goat|lappy: I've done no overclocking on my system so I guess I'll just save the money for a new GFX card. [06:01] after couple of days with 8.04, feel it is not stable. how about yours ? very easy crashed by FF flash [06:01] candykiller: yeah, if your cpu is not crazy hot, don't worry too much [06:01] goat|lappy I think I might just give this comp to the girlfriend and that will give me an excuse to build a new one, lol [06:01] Hello, does anyone know of a way to either solve the problem where some laptops do not have sound with the 2.6.27 kernel or how to use an older kernel? [06:01] goat|lappy; i want 2 keep a copy of the code that configures my sound so that i can copy the same code once wen i do the fresh install [06:01] theplastikjesus, you need to install compizconfig-settings-manager [06:01] !compiz [06:01] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [06:02] hi all ,i solved the problem about django, and now , i'd like to know , what kind of program you guys use to listen to online radios? [06:02] iHope, 8.04 is very stable it means though your flash isn't stable how did you install flash? [06:02] !compiz | theplastikjesus [06:02] theplastikjesus: please see above [06:02] DarkKnight: oh... well i don't know what in the intel-hda drivers, that someone suggested for you... sorry [06:02] I found something that Windows can't do that Linux can o.0 [06:03] candykiller, compiz? [06:03] candykiller: what, not suck? [06:03] candykiller, work? [06:03] hi I have the a problem with this iptables script http://paste.ubuntu.com/76692/ which is giving these errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/76690/ however when I check the man pages I see I used the correct options can someone help me out here? [06:03] candykiller: would you like to enlighten us? please tell me it's not compiz [06:03] It can run video between two different screens [06:03] faryshta: i got the compizconfig-settings-manager installed already but i cant get to System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings " Advanced Desktop Effects Settings" isnt in the menu [06:03] help, i installed frets on fire but cant run it... why? [06:03] Which windows was not capable of, lol [06:03] theplastikjesus, I think that is in configuration [06:03] theplastikjesus, in terminal type ccsm [06:03] if not, then on console just run "ccsm" === priley86_ is now known as priley86 [06:04] b33r: or am i been hacked. eg. this chatwindow suddenly minimized, and some gedit window suddenly opened, i thought i pressed on something. but just now, i m quiet sure that i did not pressed on anything, and this window minimized. [06:04] candykiller: what kind of video are we talking about? like flash or odd format or somethign related to that? [06:04] b33r: Another CCSM instance already running [06:04] i got it up [06:04] like, I can watch a movie between two screens or play a video game in full screen and watch a video in another [06:05] Windows would only do one or the other, the other screen would turn black and show no video [06:05] b33r: a little bit wierd [06:05] AidenXi: this ISP (about smtp) has many free hotspot also. so, if someone is a client of one of it's free hotspot, and send fake mail, the ISP won't be able to track him. is it right? [06:05] I cant see the x, to close or minimize my windows, anyone know how to fix settings? [06:05] iHope, if you are only installing stuff from ubuntu's official website I doubt that you are "hacked" [06:05] im trying to follow theese instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=809695 [06:05] I dual screen, and used to get mad when I couldn't watch a movie while raiding in MMO's, lol [06:05] mmm. maybe i will re-install tomorrow ? [06:05] e-frame I doubt those hot-spots have SMTP enabled, if they do then shame on that ISP. [06:05] question; does the sound on games usually get affected by media players such as amarok? [06:06] iHope, if flash is crashing, in firefox link type about:plugins and see what kind of flash is installed [06:06] cause i cant seem to play open arena and listen to music at the same time [06:06] AidenXi: they did :D i've tried once :D [06:06] Anyone have the problem where after they upgraded to intrepid their sound stopped working? [06:07] candykiller: this is possible. usually through software to help define each display and their funcation. [06:07] b33r: Shockwave Flash 10.0 r12 -- i installed via download from adobe site, should be no harm ? [06:07] that's the only thing i installed via non-ubuntu [06:07] sugl: possible on vista or possible on linux? [06:07] iHope, maybe uninstall it and try from ubuntu's repos? [06:07] iHope, sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree I think [06:08] AidenXi: actually the hotspot is owned by a foodcourt management on a mall, using the same ISP. so the foodcourt management will take the responsibility i think. [06:08] candykiller: i am actually having a lot of trouble with dual monitors with ubuntu right now. either through xrandr or xorg.conf manual editing. for something reason unknown to me. xrandr can't see my second plugged monitor. o.0? [06:08] ahtmly2k, me to, I love open arena, and I can only enjoy it hearing death metal, so I don't think that is the problem. [06:08] did your computer heated while playing? [06:08] b33r: no. from adobe.com ? [06:09] iHope, ? [06:09] AidenXi: and this ISP's hotspot is spread all over my country, especially on airports. and smtp enabled :p [06:10] candykiller: sorry. i didn't explain myself before. possible on windows. i use to do a lot of multiple display in windows back in the day. you think it's hard to get multiple display working in windows, try doing it half of a decade ago. just trying to get applications to work corrently was always not worth it [06:10] e-frame well then I pray they don't get on a spammers bad side =) Hell the IP's are probably already on blacklists all over the world so it doesn't matter. [06:10] Hello crimsonfire7 =) [06:10] The movie handbrake ripped is great for the most part ,but it bit jerky in some parts of the movie. Could change setting to make rip it better [06:10] sugl: what problems are you having in ubuntu? maybe I can help? I just spent the last 4 days configuring mine to work, lol [06:10] hi :) [06:11] hi I have the a problem with this iptables script http://paste.ubuntu.com/76692/ which is giving these errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/76690/ however when I check the man pages I see I used the correct options can someone help me out here? [06:11] tarelerulz don't do anything cpu intensive while it's ripping, or mess with its nice values so it gets higher priority. [06:11] The movie I ripped is ok for the most part ,but a bit jerk in some parts. Is there a setting I can change to fix that? [06:11] paul68: doing that as root or nto? [06:11] mabus: as root [06:12] mabus the script was made for a different version of iptables, it has functions that don't exist in the version you have installed. [06:13] AidenXi, the only thing is did try to change some of the setting while I was ripping and did pause it while I changed them. Other then that I tuned everything off [06:13] b33r: i downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ [06:13] AidenXi: it is my script ;-) [06:14] paul68 lol run iptables directly with the functions it can't find. Pastebin your script too if you don't mind. [06:14] iHope, uninstall it and try with apt-get [06:14] AidenXi: what do I have to do to solve this and keep the same type of rules its in the first post [06:14] b33r: ok [06:14] tarelerulz set your settings and let it roll, do the least you can to get in its way. [06:14] tarelerulz I usually go 1000Kbit/s for video and 256 for audio for a nice high quality rip and compress to h264 [06:15] AidenXi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/76692/ is the script [06:15] hi can anyone please help me with unix commands [06:15] Administrator__ ask away =) [06:16] administrator: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/basic-commands/C/ [06:16] hey i am not able to understand unix commands in my assignments [06:16] administrator__: http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/ [06:16] they are confusing [06:16] which ones [06:16] !bash [06:16] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [06:16] candykiller: by the way, my name is sug1, not sugl. im not seeing your messages. hahah oh. by the way, sorry if i am coming off as a prick or something. I made myself look to be a know-it-alot. I didn't mean for it to come off that way. Pretty much, my xrandr -q output only display my default monitor (laptop monitor) i am trying to plug in my lcd monitor, but xrandr can't see it or doesn't display any information on it. laptop=1680x105 a [06:17] uniq [06:17] <|GaiJin|> Can I see if i have pulseaudio on my interped ubuntu... i am having problems using several audio sources.... [06:17] paul68 run your script with the -x bash variable please (sh -x scriptname), pastebin the output or look around yourself since it seems you know what youre doing =) [06:17] Administrator__ which command in particular? [06:17] uniq [06:17] he said [06:18] AidneXi [06:18] If I find that the repo server has an outdated and vulnerable version of a web-server application? [06:18] sug1: ahh, sorry bout that. I got my dual screen to run in Nvidia X Server settings, under the TwinView option. I'm dual monitoring 2x 22' LCD's. [06:18] Uniq [06:18] uniq is a Unix utility which, when fed a text file, outputs the file with adjacent identical lines collapsed to one. It is a kind of filter program. Typically it is used after sort. It can also output only the duplicate lines (with the -d option), or add the number of occurrences of each line (with the -c option). [06:18] What should I do? [06:18] Circs notify the repo maintainer. [06:18] can someone do a dpkg -S /etc/X11/rgb.txt and tell me which package it belongs to? [06:18] astor dpkg -S /etc/X11/rgb.txt [06:18] AidenXi: Ok, it's one of the Ubuntu repos, and honestly I have no idea how to do that. [06:18] Err [06:18] sug1: have you tried >gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and seeing what you have enabled and what it's showing is being recognized? [06:19] |GaiJin|: my friend just mad this comic: http://dustycloud.org/gfx/goodies/linuxaudiocomic.png [06:19] astor x11-common: /etc/X11/rgb.txt [06:19] candykiller: sounds yummy. dual 22 o.0 how do you bring up nvidia settings again LOL not use to interface [06:19] AidenXi: thanks! [06:19] Circs, you can fill a bug report in launchpad [06:19] Circs ubuntu repos? surely not! [06:19] <_cb> trying to fix a sound problem I blew away gdm. sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop told me package was not available. How do I re-install? [06:19] !bug | Circs [06:19] Circs: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [06:19] AidenXi: so the command would be sudo ./iptables.sh -x what does it do exactly not familiar with this option [06:19] sug1: Nvidia X Server Settings should be System > Administrator > Nvidia X Server if you have it installed [06:20] AidenXi: Yep, most truly. [06:20] paul68 tells you step by step whats going on, and it would be "sudo sh -x iptables.sh" [06:20] <|GaiJin|> CarlFK: looks about right... [06:20] Circs I'd file a bug report and make sure to ring all the bells I can find =) Usually Canonical is on top of major security issues. [06:20] ldconfig deferred processing now taking place ? [06:20] what does that mean ? [06:21] AidenXi: my x11-common is missing the symlink from /etc/X11/rgb.txt to /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt.. weird. [06:21] AidenXi: ok does it also mean that its going to execute the script? just to be sure since I'm at work here and have to reboot after flushing my tables ;-) [06:21] <|GaiJin|> pulse worked fine on linuxmint... but seems not to be installed on new ubuntu,,, i can't see it atleast [06:21] candykiller: nice. i will check that out. i have to head out now. I got photoshop work to do o.0 but if your interested. i will be making a thread soon about my dual monitor troubles. feel free to check it out. my forum name is sugi. do you use the forums? [06:21] AidenXi: It's a buffer overflow type thing, it should only affect home users, but could affect business [06:21] paul68 yes it executes it =) [06:21] anyone know what I should google to find the python bindings for apt? [06:21] Circs Canonical handles both home and business since its basically the same repo. [06:21] sug1: ubuntuforums.com? Yes. I'm CandyKiller on there [06:21] AidenXi: ok no problem will be back with the output of this [06:22] <_cb> how do I re-install gdm? [06:22] sug1: make sure you post your xorg.conf file on there under a code window so I can view it, that is probably what's wrong [06:22] AidenXi: Yeah I know that. :) I'm just concerned. [06:22] _cb should be aptitude reinstall gdm [06:22] guys .. i can't play a movie for some reason .. i downlaoded libdvdcss and still nothing [06:23] macjason0607 did you install the restricted objects as....someone told you to? [06:23] macjason0607, try vlc dvd:// [06:23] _cb: i think its sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to reinstall gdm [06:23] AidenXi, i went on the fourms [06:23] !dvd [06:23] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [06:24] <_cb> crimsonfire I tried sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu desktop but tells me package can't be found. I am a n00b at this [06:24] is there a way to change evince's background and text colors [06:24] Can anyone help me? When I boot up, I get an error saying "no resume image, doing normal boot". I'm using the livecd right now, but I can't do this forever... [06:24] its like staring at a lightbulb [06:24] <^hush^> hi! I have a question [06:24] AidenXi: actually, x11-common is completely missing /etc/X11/rgb.txt. /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt is a symlink to /etc/X11/rgb.txt which ends up nowhere. [06:24] or is there another pdf reader you can? [06:24] _cb: k hold on let me check [06:24] fstopchikkk let it boot. It's simply telling you you didn't hibernate before shutting down so it has nothing to resume from. [06:25] <^hush^> Cana anyone teach me how to get to the Undernet channel? [06:25] Hi... supposedly ipods are supported in quod libet, but mine doesn't seem to be detected. [06:25] AidenXi: what is the version of your x11-common? [06:25] I've let it run, but it never boots all the way. It stays at the black screen. [06:25] is thereany way to see a list a of packages i installed recently? something like that... -- my sound has been working fine for weeks -- after updates this morning no more sound... [06:25] _cb: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:25] oops [06:25] _cb: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm that one should work [06:25] AidenXi: 1:7.4~5ubuntu3 is broken it seems [06:25] ^hush^: "/join #Undernet" [06:26] sudo aptitude reinstall gdm is less typing [06:26] astor http://paste.ubuntu.com/76696/ Here's my copy, and its a plaintext file, not a symlink. [06:26] AidenXi: Do you have much experience with Compiz Fusion? [06:26] whats the command to change your flash plugin, i remember sudo update alternatives -- flash plugin or somthing like that , but i forget the exact [06:26] candykiller enough that I would like a full head of hair again =) [06:26] <^hush^> oOarthurOo, thanks. I wanna join the channel bi-manila in undernet. How do i do that? === russell__ is now known as rus [06:26] AidenXi: thanks [06:26] <_cb> thanks will try that [06:27] hello everybody i'm sub human === rus is now known as uncleZero [06:27] ^hush^ do /server irc.undernet.org (I think) then /join #bi-manilla [06:27] How do I make it so it doesn't do that resume thing? ever... i don't use hibernate, but somehow i got that error. [06:27] donk and I am sub machine =) How are you? [06:27] AidenXi: I was watching on a youtube video someone made of it, when he closed the windows it was like the windows went up in flames, or sparkled? how do I get that effect. I turned on the flames command through advanced settings but nothing [06:27] ^hush^: if you want to stay here too /newserver [06:27] fstopchikkk its not an error, just a notify. Does it hang there or does it complete booting? [06:27] It hangs there. [06:28] i want a launcher to start "gnome-terminal -x sudo -i" (root shell), without having to enter my password every time. i tried adding sudo to sudoers, but it didnt work. Pleasy anyone tell me, what my mistake was (and please dont ask, why i want that) [06:28] AidenXi, GOOD! [06:28] how can i rename a file with console? [06:28] candykiller check under window effects/minimize, its not fire (fire is drawing with your mouse on the screen). [06:28] eLtangaZ: you mv it to the new name [06:28] rename "~/Mis documentos" Documentos ? === uncleZero is now known as paperMoney [06:28] eLtangaZ "mv orignal_file new_name" [06:28] <^hush^>  AidenXi: The  /server irc.undernet.org is not working :( [06:29] okok [06:29] ^hush^ try /server Vancouver.BC.CA.Undernet.org [06:30] Any suggestions AidenXi? [06:30] hmw_: in man sudoers ... /NOPASSWD [06:30] whats the name of the package/and repository i need to get totem to actually play dvds? [06:30] AidenXi, mv ~/Documentos "/media/Programas/Mis documentos" && ln -s "/media/Programas/Mis documentos" ~/ [06:30] fde thx [06:30] has anyone ttried the limewire for linux? [06:30] AidenXi, and faryshta i open vlc and play form the main movie and it flicks off and on [06:30] !dvd [06:30] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [06:30] AidenXi, but i need the name Mis documentos named Documentos at the end [06:30] grendal_prime ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:30] <^hush^> AidenX: Its still not working. By the way, where do I enter that command? sorry, I'm kinda new at this. [06:30] macd, try: [06:30] Intel Inside Pentium 4. [06:30] hmw_: remember to use visudo to edit, not just vim or whatever, that way you don't have to worry about making mistakes, it won't let you [06:31] bah, when I say "try kubuntu without installing" it says IO Error and asks me to reboot [06:31] Is that 32? [06:31] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras libdvdcss2* [06:31] ^hush^ put it where you type your messages =) Try adding a :6667 at the end. === baddog is now known as badolddog [06:31] Intel Pentium 4, Is that 32bit or 64bit? === badolddog is now known as baddog [06:31] Saga: haha... depends how recent it is.... [06:31] 32 bit [06:31] eLtangaZ instead of ~/ do ~/Documentos [06:31] AidenXi: this is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/76697/ **note** I have 1.4 on ibex but using 1.38 on my server which is on 8.04 [06:32] <^hush^> /server Vancouver.BC.CA.Undernet.org:6667 [06:32] saga: sometimes io errors are bad disc sectors [06:32] fde, Meh -- I can get you name of the machine if you need it. [06:32] crimsonfire7: maybe you meant to say that to me [06:32] eLtangaZ, You're confident? It's very old. [06:32] crimsonfire7: i hope it's that and not a bad dvd rom [06:32] ^hush^ which IRC program are you using? o.O Should have parsed /server in the client and connected you. [06:32] Maybe 5 years or so. === paperMoney is now known as wetS0cks [06:32] tietyt2: yeah sorry lol [06:32] AidenXi: Uh ohh, I got it!\ [06:32] Saga: you want 32bit though on a Desktop, 64bit isn't worth the hassle really unless you're using a server... no desktop apps really take advantage of it [06:32] AidenXi, mv ~/Documentos "/media/Programas/Mis documentos" && ln -s "/media/Programas/Mis documentos" ~/Documentos like this? [06:32] hi, i'm facing problem of my gdm session started @ tty f9, but previously it was tty f7. when this happen, my keyboard focus went to tty f7, which causes my whole xwindows unable to capture my keyboard typing... what should i do to fix this? [06:32] Got it -- Thanks. [06:33] eLtangaZ thats right. [06:33] AidenXi: For future reference it's under Animations [06:33] <^hush^> AidenX, i'm using IRC on Pidgin.... [06:33] candykiller I'm a CLI man, no need for shiny things =) [06:33] AidenXi: OMG, this is so awesome [06:33] fde: i suspected that the usual way wouldnt aply to sudo itself. guess i didnt rtfm enough. thx. [06:33] fde, what's wrong with 64 bit?! why is everyone dissing ubuntu 64? o.o [06:33] AidenXi, are you implying CLI cannot be shiny? [06:34] but that doesnt make ~/Documentos\Mis documentos? [06:34] AidenXi: I'm not sure i worded it right, but I put it up and described the issue and the fix as best i could. [06:35] b33r: umm, for one, deb/apt still doesn't have proper multiarch support... it just makes things a pain [06:35] How do I make it so I don't get the error "no resume image, doing normal boot"? [06:35] Circs link? elkbuntu CLI is plenty shiny, just not in the same way as a full fledged GUI environment can be =) ^hush^ Give xchat a try unless you really want to stick to Pidgin. If so, look around for "Networks" somewhere and add Undernet as a network if it isn't already there, I don't have much experience with it. [06:35] fstopchikkk looking it up now, thanks for the reminder. [06:35] fde, everything works just fine on 64.. [06:35] b33r: not going to get it until after Lenny is released too... and its taking forever === [2]KillerOrca is now known as KillerOrca [06:36] AidenXi: I see that you are a busy man did you see my previous post? [06:36] Okay, thanks for inquiring for possible answers for me. =] Google on my phone doesn't work very well. Kinda slow. [06:36] <^hush^> Aidenx: where do i get xchat? [06:36] Although afaik Ubuntu hires the deb and apt authors, so idk why we have to wait [06:36] ^hush^, in terminal type sudo apt-get install xchat [06:36] fde, wait sited, not flaming but debian actualizations are once every one or 3 years. [06:36] ^hush^ it comes preinstalled in Ubuntu, should be under Internet [06:36] b33r did it go away with Intrepid? [06:37] AidenXi, I don't know I don't remember it being preinstalled [06:37] AidenXi: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/no-ip/+bug/301908 I got beaten to it apparently Good to know :) [06:37] paul68 I would need a refresh =( Men are truly not meant to multitask, setting up ssh tunnels, irc, phone, and nat policies all at once. [06:37] why doesnt a file.sh if try to open it i gives me run or edit but if i chose edit it doesnt do it? [06:37] Circs always good to look around first =) [06:38] My sound doesn't work anymore after a reboot, how do I troubleshoot this? All I hear is random clicks instead of the song. [06:38] luckynoob: what a foolish are you! [06:38] eLtangaZ I have been wondering that for some time as well =/ [06:38] !sound > Mo0oSaH [06:38] Mo0oSaH, please see my private message [06:38] AidenXi: I agree [06:38] b33r: you have to use hacks though like the ia32-libs packages... its getting better due to things like Flash releasing a 64bit version, but many things are still a pain... should be able to apt-get install whatever.i386 and automatically get all the 32bit libs it needs... and only what it needs [06:38] AidenXi: this is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/76697/ **note** I have 1.4 on ibex but using 1.38 on my server which is on 8.04 [06:38] AidenXi, :S [06:39] AidenXi: I already had reported it, whoops. New to bug reporting. But i figure two people noticing is better than 0. [06:39] so thats very common? [06:39] faryshta: supposed to be out by Christmas === donk is now known as [subhuman] [06:39] is /usr/lib/python the "/path/to/python" ? [06:39] eLtangaZ all I know is I've had that issue since 5.04 lol [06:40] so is there somewhere to report that or something like that so someone fixes it? [06:40] paul68 . [06:40] paul68 somewhere there modprobe has a . at the end [06:40] <^hush^> How do i know it's done istalling? [06:40] fde, not really it's easy, though now you have icedtea java and flash plugin for 64 and most packages I can think of are supported in 64 [06:40] !bugs > eLtangaZ [06:40] eLtangaZ, please see my private message [06:40] AidenXi: that was simple enough... would you happen to know why the settings would change on its own? [06:40] guys http://paste.ubuntu.com/76702/ [06:40] AidenXi, did you find anything? [06:40] AidenXi: I marked it as duplicate to save them time [06:40] has ne1 here over clocked the eeepc [06:41] or is it /usr/include.python? [06:41] bash script and .sh files are the same? [06:41] ok hold on [06:41] AidenXi: wondering how it get there [06:41] good morning everyone [06:41] totem still crashes [06:41] b33r: in your case, you don't happen to require the functionality... I dislike not having it, to the point that I won't use 64bit without it [06:41] eLtangaZ, yest, you just need to write a line on the .sh file so the system recognized at so. [06:41] !sh [06:41] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [06:41] i'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 for 2 days now [06:41] just does not like dvd's [06:42] and no luck [06:42] ^hush^ it should tell you its done. fstopchikkk still looking, seems like a partition issue. Mo0oSaH did any hardware change? Only thing I can think of that would change settings. Or perhaps you ran alsamixer as a normal user and didnt save the changes. [06:42] <^hush^> b33r, I think its done installing.... what do i type next? Do i close it? How do I know where the xchat is located? [06:42] rpop what issues are you running into? [06:42] hi AidenXi [06:42] paul68 shh, don't blame the creator, thas blasphemy! [06:42] ^hush^, applications --> internet --> xchat [06:42] rpop whats the problem...you putting it on a dell inspiron 1100 by any chance? [06:42] AidenXi: anyway, thanks! [06:42] anyone get that paste ? [06:42] i'm getting "The ext3 filesystem creation in partition #1 failed" [06:42] Yes macjason0607, taking a look at it now. [06:43] thanks [06:43] yes i have it somewhere that line but can that command be disabeled if i put an extra # at the start? [06:43] i thought to be a HDD problem [06:43] and i've changed the jumbe rsettings [06:43] jumper [06:43] generic question. Here on México the dell 9 with Ubuntu is just one dollar cheaper than the one with windows. Is the same in every country? [06:43] and now i don't get that error anymore [06:43] damn it [06:43] but the installer fis freezing [06:43] burned the disk again and still couldn't boot off of it [06:43] rather, load it as a live cd [06:43] AidenXi: I wont also found some errors myself just puzzling with the --syn option here [06:44] nope [06:44] datakid: idk if anyone answered your question but its /usr/lib/python [06:44] paul68 =) [06:44] <^hush^> Aidenx and b33r!!!!!

[06:44] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:44] it's not an laptop grendal_prime [06:44] macjason0607 the repos in you sources.list is not online/resolving [06:44] AidenXi: which is also mentioned in the man pages however what am I doing wrong here? [06:45] "checking cd for defects" doesn't work either [06:45] it's an 8 years old Compaq desktop [06:45] I/O Error. Error reading from disk [06:45] AidenXi, 2008-11-24 22:45:11 ERROR 404: Not Found.

Its currently running debian testing. [06:46] tietyt2: i agree with aiden on this one [06:46] i don't know what to do next [06:46] cause i've lost 2 days now [06:46] tietyt2: and if that doesn't work you may have to just get a whole new image [06:46] this totem not reading my dvds is PISSING ME OFF [06:47] tieTYT2 3rd one?

[06:47] tieTYT2 feel free to do that in reverse as well =) heads all over the place. [06:47] AidenXi: i already md5 checked it and it's fine [06:47] what does it mean when i add ~ at the end of the file? it changes my file icon [06:48] AidenXi: any thoughts on the --syn option *******handing out a coffee or beer to you***** don't know in what timezone you are but just to be on the safeside [06:48] grendal_prime: my configuration is an 30 GB WD + 380 MB ram + 128 MB video [06:48] grendal_prime, why not use VLC player it will solve all your movie playing problem [06:48] eLtangaZ usually a ~ indicates a "save" or "hidden" or "incomplete" file. For instance, when you open a document a copy is made with the ~ extension to signify thats its a backup of the orignal. [06:48] hm, it lets me pick a recording speed of 0 [06:48] should I do 1 instead? [06:49] Any luck AidenXi? [06:49] that doesn't make sense to me [06:49] i c [06:49] http://people.rit.edu/~cpf6732/b/Img1.png [06:49] http://people.rit.edu/~cpf6732/b/Img2.png [06:49] See the issue? :) [06:49] tietyt2: lol just make it like 2x or something [06:49] b33r no it didnt i installed it and it has the same problem [06:49] grendal_prime, on terminal run vlc dvd:// [06:49] grendal_prime, o.o weird what problem?

That shouldn't be possible lol Can you read the CD after you burn it? [06:50] this only happens if i format ext 3 [06:51] AidenXi, #!/bin/bash <--- how can i get this command make it a coment? [06:51] AidenXi, ##!/bin/bash it doesnt work :/ [06:51] i have 10.5 and ubuntu 8,10 on a 24 inch imac intel [06:51] dominic_: do you have a usb hadrive enclosure that will work with scisi drives?? is it a scisi drive? [06:51] eLtangaZ you want to make that a comment? Remove it from the very top. [06:51] does apple saita now? [06:51] sata that is? [06:51] what other simbol can i make comments? [06:51] AidenXi, should I install a more stable version of ubuntu? [06:52] someone please help me im pulling my hair out. i formatted a second internal drive with gparted and now i dont have permision to copy anything to the drive. this only happens if i format ext 3 [06:52] eLtangaZ I add ### Script Name $$$ before it. [06:52] yea its a sata drive [06:52] i need to make it a coment because i dont remember it [06:52] fstopchikkk are you using 8.10? [06:52] hey everyone, is there someone here that could help me get my bluetooth headset up and running with ubuntu intrepid? [06:52] <|TJ|> s it normal during a upgrade you kmenu disappear? [06:52] Yes [06:52] AidenXi, [06:52] oops [06:52] <|TJ|> !ask [06:52] eltangaz: maybe "# #!/bin/bash" lol [06:52] 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. :-) [06:52] :O [06:52] lets see [06:52] <|TJ|> !ask | remu [06:52] remu: please see above [06:52] AidenXi: it shouldn't be possible to install civ4 on vista? [06:52] dominic_: can you get it into the machine...or do you have some supporting hardware that physically allows you to connect to the machine? [06:52] AidenXi: no problem you helped me out already but if you see another thing that might help me I'm all eyes ;-) [06:52] AidenXi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/76704/ [06:52] AidenXi: yeah it boots up but it doesn't let me do any of the options like install/check disk/etc. [06:53] <|TJ|> !ask > remu [06:53] remu, please see my private message [06:53] dominic_: i personally like the usb deallybobbers [06:53] anyone? [06:53] tietyt2: maybe your burner is going out :/ [06:53] what are some links for desktop themes for ubuntu? [06:53] AidenXi, didnt work [06:53] also dvd::rip is no longer working in Intrepid for me [06:53] eLtangaZ strip the #? [06:53] anyone had a similar problem when installing Ubuntu 8.10? [06:53] |TJ|, Sorry, but I wasn't asking to ask a question, I was asking if there is someone that could help me get my bluetooth headset setup. [06:54] paul68 what issue do you get regarding the --syn? [06:54] crimsonfire7: it's telling me it burned fine [06:54] paul68 if I may say so myself, install webmin and use the UI they provide for iptables. [06:54] what does strip means? [06:54] ive tried searching online on how to get my bluetooth headset working with intrepid, but i am coming up short, i am able to pair my headset, however it wont connect. [06:54] tieTYT2 it already finished burning? That was pretty fast. [06:54] separate or add? [06:54] AidenXi: i've burned twice already [06:54] i'm talking about those 2 [06:54] tietyt2: yeah it will say burn complete or successfully even if your burner is going out :/ [06:54] !bluetooth [06:54] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [06:54] rpop, with that ram I hope you have installed Xubuntu, otherwise your system will be slow. [06:55] AidenXi: Unknown arg `--syn' this is the message [06:55] AidenXi: however when checking the man page I see this [06:55] iptables -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit --connlimit-above [06:55] 16 --connlimit-mask 24 -j REJECT [06:55] faryshta, you think that 380 mb ram is not sufficient? [06:55] for Ubuntu 8.10 [06:56] rpop, I have 512 and runs great. [06:56] AidenXi: just see the syntax for the --syn option [06:56] there is a way to integrate with windows group policy ? [06:56] hi all [06:56] I believe I have issues with codecs? Running GNome Player or Hulu after 40min will crash the Ubuntu? [06:56] rpop, yes 380 is enough [06:56] tietyt2: to check to see if your burner is going out i would run the same iso on a different burner if you have access to one so you know its not the image then it must be the burner [06:56] WOW there is alot of really cool looking "probably illegal" stuff in that package. Now that gets me pretty hot and excited. [06:56] any body knows that how to extract winrar files [06:56] rpop, you just need to chose well, there is a flavor of ubuntu called Xubuntu which is practicly the same. [06:57] crimsonfire7: i don't have another burner [06:57] Sharp_eyes, Add rar package. [06:57] just using the XFCE desktop which is much faster and less demanding. [06:57] anyone http://paste.ubuntu.com/76704/ [06:57] paul68 http://packetstormsecurity.org/UNIX/firewall/ipchains/netfilter/netfilter-HOWTO-3.html "Extended Packet Matching Options" [06:57] Use Synapics under System-->Admin --> [06:57] the burner and the computer I'm installing this on are not the same [06:57] Saga: from add and remove [06:57] macjason0607 sudo dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.5-1_i386.deb [06:57] is there a way to test if the other reader is busted? [06:57] not working AidenXi [06:57] faryshta, and you recommend XUbuntu for this amount (380 MB RAM) of RAM? [06:58] AidenXi, Processing triggers for libc6 ... [06:58] ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [06:58] macjason0607 according to that it installed fine. You still can't play DVD's? [06:58] it just sits there [06:58] tietyt2: have you used other cds/games on the computer you are installing ubuntu on? [06:58] macjason0607 thats normal. [06:58] AidenXi, i can play the dvd only when i go to chapter selection [06:58] Does anyone know a solution for tearing flash video when fullscreen using nvidia binary drivers (ie with Hulu)? [06:59] macjason0607,did you try vlc? [06:59] rpop, yes, actually almost everyone will tell you that. [06:59] Wow was today "move to widescreen" day? Youtube vimeo etc all widescreen now. [06:59] I also have Xubuntu. [06:59] jack|ass,not yet, one person has it working with youtube [06:59] yes im doing this in vlc .. i put the movie in and i press play ... it flickers a couple of times then stops .. but when i go to chapter view it plays fine [06:59] rpop, what are your problems with ubuntu? [06:59] rpop xubuntu is a light weight version of Ubuntu using the Xfce windowing system. It is very friendly towards older PC's and laptops. [07:00] hrm, my burner program crashed this time [07:00] faryshta, do you think that my error "The ext3 filesystem creation in partition #1 of failed" has to do with the RAM's? [07:00] rpop no, nothing to do with the ram. [07:00] tietyt2: lol sounds like you have more than one problem >.< [07:00] rpop, no. [07:00] any body know the package name of rar [07:00] what is the exact error? [07:00] guys ubuntu can' be under windows group policy or it can ???? [07:01] faryshta, AidenXi- ok [07:01] Sharp_eyes, rar [07:01] Sharp_eyes, open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install rar [07:01] fde i dont get it done. i added whoami without password for testing, but in the launcher "gnome-terminal -x sudi -i" does always ask for a password. i tried "... -x whoami && sleep 2" to check, if it is run as another user, but then nothing happens visually [07:01] Sharp_eyes, unrar [07:01] deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty multiverse to sources [07:01] rpop seems to be a known bug, you can try out the fix proposed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/99908 [07:02] faryshta, here is the exzct error "The ext3 filesystem creation in partition #1 of failed" [07:02] Im having trouble getting grub to work with my windows installs, i installed them after I installed ubuntu, one is on hd0,5 and the other on hd0,6 I have everything setup correcty as far as i can tell but it says that the device is not recognized [07:02] KillerOrca: hrm. wouldn't happen to know if there's a bug on that specific issue open, would you? [07:02] h-idrisi no, group policy requires major parts of Windows that Ubuntu simply does not and probably will not have. [07:02] AidenXi, how can i add at the right click menu at the top open with text editor? [07:02] I haven't hear about it, try to find in on google rpop [07:03] like i get on those ~ files [07:03] ? [07:03] faryshta, AidenXi - i'll try first with the known bug solutions [07:03] faryshta, AidenXi - thanks [07:03] AidenXi, so there is no way to work under it ? [07:03] <[subhuman]> ronaldinho gol [07:03] <[subhuman]> gol gol gol gol [07:03] rpop, no problem, hope it works. [07:03] btw what computer you have rpop ? [07:03] everyone: remember guys when googling things for linux always user www.google.com/linux for linux only results :) [07:03] ajhtwolf, sadly, windows doesn't play well with grub. So, if you install windows AFTER ubuntu, you will neet to repair GRUB :p [07:03] rpop open a terminal shell before starting the install and type in "sudo gedit /lib/partman/commit.d/30parted" and follow the proposed fix. [07:04] faryshta, AidenXi - i'll let you know tomorrow how did it go [07:04] rpop alright, have a good night =) [07:04] how to use string as cut delimiter ? [07:04] faryshta, AidenXi - cause today i have to do some developing [07:04] rpop and I apologize for getting to you so late, have had a little too much on my plate tonight. [07:04] faryshta - it's an old Compaq [07:04] jack|ass,no, just most likely hulu trying very hard not to let their videos be easily saved on our end, there is a way to do it in windows so you might be able to get that software running under wine [07:04] magikfingerz, right but as long as i fix the entrys as i have it should work, grub is working fine, i had to reconfigure it so that it is the boot loader, but it isnt loading vista or xp properly [07:05] e-frame maybe #bash might be of more help? Or whatever language you are coding in. [07:05] KillerOrca: oh, the video's working. It's just that there's tearing when it's full-screened. [07:05] AidenXi: i'm using the "cut" command [07:05] faryshta, 30 GB WD , 380 MB ram, 128 MB video, AMD AThlon [07:05] KillerOrca: the 64-bit flash plugin did wonders. :) [07:06] http://www.applian.com/replay-media-catcher/ [07:06] rpop, I can't tell you but I think there is a mail-list dedicated to linux users of compaq. [07:06] AidenXi, no problem [07:06] it's not late [07:06] ajhtwolf, I suggest you to use SuperGRUB disk.. is easy to use and can solve almost any problem... --> http://beginlinux.com/server_training/server-managment-topics/1069-supergrub [07:06] e-frame in that case #linux =) They're more knowledgable about the little utilities that not many people use. [07:06] jack|ass,so you have managed to save hulu videos? albiet not perfectly [07:06] AidenXi - it's morning for me [07:06] magikfingerz, I will check that out [07:06] AidenXi: ok [07:06] rpop ah well good morning then [07:06] AidenXi, [07:06] like i get on those ~ files [07:06] ? [07:07] AidenXi, how can i add at the right click menu at the top open with text editor? [07:07] KillerOrca: I don't want to save them, just view them. Oh, I'm not meaning "rip" when I say tear. I mean that there's video tearing artifacts. [07:07] eLtangaZ I'm not much of a GUI person, I can't help you with that, sorry. [07:07] AidenXi - thanks [07:07] I tried to migrate my home dir from Intrepid to Hardy, but now I have an ugly blank background and my toolbars look terrible. How can I fix this? [07:07] faryshta, i'll try to find that mailing list [07:08] jack|ass flash full screen does this on Windows as well if the quality of the video is too high (bitrate/resolution wise) or if video acceleration is poor/non-existant. [07:08] jack|ass,I see, well I haven't installed flash on my ubuntu box cause of speed issues so I couldn't tell you for sure, but others have had it working fine from what I hear [07:08] okok tnx [07:08] AidenXi: does it? Haven't tried it in windows. [07:08] faryshta, AidenXi - thanks again. See you tomorrow. Time for some coding today === evolutionxtinct is now known as EvolutionXtinct [07:08] KillerOrca: yeah, it's just an annoying artifact that might also be happening in windows. [07:08] jack|ass yep, HD videos on Vimeo tear like fat man's pants as he bends over. [07:09] rpop see ya ^^ [07:09] jack|ass feel free to throw an "a" in my sentence above lol [07:09] AidenXi: fegh... well, I'll see how it works in the lower res. :) [07:09] thanks. [07:09] Mmhmm [07:10] If there is a mailing list for compaq users I'dlike it too if anyone knows it [07:10] AidenXi: stupid remark does the --syn part means that I need to have a input and an output matching rules or is that an unlogical assumption? quote "Anyway, if you get an "Unknown arg `--syn'" error, or similar, it could be that you didn't specify the match or protocol argument first." [07:11] paul68 curious, which version of iptables are you using? [07:11] What i need to enable two screens on two monitors on ATI card with fglrx? By default both monitors shows same things at same resolution [07:12] eltangaz: if your up for some right click coding you can get all the information from this pdf http://oreilly.com/catalog/linuxdeskhks/chapter/hack40.pdf [07:12] What's the package name of the compiz manager: Advanced desktop effects settings. [07:12] shal3r: I wanted to do the same thing earlier with my old laptop. In the end, I couldn't do it. I wish you luck. [07:12] AidenXi: 1.38 on the server [07:13] jeebster, thanks for cheering up [07:13] ok tnx crimsonfire [07:13] eltankgaz: ur very welcome :D [07:14] it says its an executable file ¬¬ [07:14] my gnome terminal is suddenly always on top, even after closing and reopening... i dont want to reboot [07:14] Stargazer, sudo apt-cache search compiz manager [07:14] "hack40.pdf" es un archivo ejecutable [07:15] eltangaz: http://209.85.173.132/linux?q=cache:xjva7qT9z9YJ:oreilly.com/catalog/linuxdeskhks/chapter/hack40.pdf+add+a+right+click+open+with+text+editor+script&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=10&gl=us [07:15] paul68 ok, there is a version (1.27) that has issues with the --syn flag but it doesn't look that that applies to you. If you're ok with Webmin, give that a shot. It tells you exactly what's missing as you're making the rules and you can save the old rules and apply them after playing with the new rules (to keep from having to reboot). [07:15] anyone ? [07:16] Wha was your question zetheroo? [07:16] !nvidia [07:16] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:16] zetheroo: saying anyone is pointless, if no-one saw the question, saying anyone won't show them it, if someone doesn't know the question saying anyone won't make them know the answer [07:16] paul68 when done copy the rules to your script if desired =) Webmin makes rules so much easier at my workplace, and a must on all servers. [07:16] ok tnx [07:16] c ya good night [07:16] night [07:17] my laptop (ThinkPad R61) is freezing and crashing with Intrepid .... how can I find out the issue? [07:17] zetheroo: look at the kernel logs [07:17] zetheroo: look at the syslog [07:17] c ya guys :D [07:17] zetheroo: define the crash/type of symptoms [07:17] Anyone have tips or a working guide on SMB over SSH? Look's like the forward isn't working (netstat -lnp shows no listening port on 139) and 445 fails on the Windows side to bind/forward. [07:17] AidenXi: ok thanks for your help just another question in nautilus I used to have on the left side a drive list with my "bookmarks" I just have the folder list now how do I correct this? [07:18] paul68 heh Im a command line guy, sorry =/ [07:18] since b!tchx is taken off the repos, is there an alternative cli irc client? [07:18] phishie: irssi [07:18] AidenXi: no problem [07:18] thanks [07:19] phishie second for irssi [07:19] in nautilus you normally have a list with all your disks on the left side and your folder list on the right side I now have just the folderside how do I correct this? [07:20] ikonia: ok.... here is one scenario .... I leave the laptop alone for a long while and the screensaver comes on .... after a couple hours, lets say, I come back and move the mouse ... the screensaver goes away and I see my wallpaper ... and thats it! I can move the mouse pointer on the screen ... but nothing responds except hard power down ... [07:20] paul68: u logged in as root? [07:20] paul68, F9... [07:20] KatieKitty: no [07:20] How do I uninstall ubuntu? I have had problems with it freezing since I downloaded it, and now I can't even start it without it freezing as soon as I log in... [07:20] zetheroo what graphics card is in the R61, is it an TI ? [07:20] ATI [07:21] ikonia: another scenario .... this is more like a full system crash .... I am using the laptop, or its not being used (does not seem to make a diff), and the system freezes and the Caps Lock LED is flashing on the laptop .... nothing works but to do a hard power off [07:21] Eulalia if you installed it via Wubi, get back into Windows and remove it from "Add/Remove Programs." If its a physical install, pop in your Windows CD or another OS and install over it. [07:21] ikonia: Intel graphics [07:21] <|GaiJin|> anyone know if there is a way to "merge" partitions... i have clearewd out the old windows partition i was using... and i am concidering the options i have [07:22] Eulalia If Windows is already on there, pop in the CD and go into recovery console, issue a "fixmbr" and it will essentially remove Ubuntu. Then from Windows you can regain the space. [07:22] ikonia: Atheros Wifi .... its been giving me trouble ever since I upgraded to Intrepid [07:22] zetheroo most interesting, I'd first of all clear down the syslog totally - reboot the machine, then the next time it crashes go through the logs [07:22] AidenXi, k9copy keeps crashing .. there something else out there ? [07:22] zetheroo seems like its been giving a lot of people trouble. Use backports to 8.04 with ndiswrapper if you want. [07:22] General question -- What video player do everybody use? I like Gnome Player because of its simplicity. [07:22] ikonia: how do I clear the syslog? ... sorry I am not a pro here ... [07:22] hey, i just upgraded to Intrepid Ibex 8.10, when i press crlt+alt+f3 or whatever f key, i don't have a terminal, is that how it is supposed to be? [07:22] AidenXi: Thanks [07:23] Saga VLC on Linux, MPC on Windows [07:23] zetheroo just remove the log a new one will be created on startup [07:23] Krumar, no... [07:23] AidenXi: whats that?... the Atheros wifi? [07:23] lagann_: did not solve it it moves a bit but the layout stays the same [07:23] zetheroo correct [07:23] lagann_, thanks i was hoping that wasn't right [07:23] ikonia: is there no way I would see the crash in the log now? [07:23] zetheroo in 8.10 the open sourced atheros drivers are included. [07:23] AidenXi, Got it. I like MPC too. ;) [07:23] Anybody use Gnome Player here? [07:24] AidenXi: and they are no good? [07:24] Saga: I just use totem or VLC [07:24] zetheroo: you could view the log now, sure, but from your symptons I think you'd find it more useful to have a fresh cleared down load [07:24] Saga: Seriously, for *nix - mplayer [07:24] Saga I'd use VLC but it doesn't do 5.1 like MPC does...or at all for that matter for content with only 2 channels. MPC spreads it out and shoves it out all 5 [07:24] Or smplayer if you want a gui [07:24] zetheroo: I would clear down the log on each reboot until you get a hang on the laptop [07:24] zetheroo they are if they work, if not then use ndiswrapper and do it as you have done it in the past. [07:24] ikonia: you mean becasue the symptoms are sporadic? [07:24] jeebster, Do you know if it's possible to combine two GUI part into one? [07:24] Having trouble botting into windows, ubuntu instaled first, this xp then vista, it says invalid device although i am selecitng the right partition [07:25] zetheroo: yes, you could have a lot of pointless data in that [07:25] zetheroo: so each time you shutdown, remove the log until you get a crash [07:25] AidenXi: I never used Ndiswrapper with this machine ... [07:25] I don't know, usually not :/ But I'd say that smplayer should be good enough - I love mplayer without the GUI though [07:25] ikonia: ok... and hehe.. where is this precious log? [07:25] Also, remember to build mplayer by yourself - quite easy on ubuntu and gives you the newest version [07:25] ok this computer couldn't correctly boot ubuntu from the official disk either [07:25] jeebster oh yeah, ASCII in CLI =) [07:25] zetheroo: /var/log [07:26] it failed on loading the kernal or something [07:26] AidenXi: lol - I didn't really mean that one but you made me remember that output 8) [07:26] tieTYT2 the CD drive is dying in that machine, swap it out. [07:26] just had a scary moment [07:26] it's a laptop that I got tonight [07:26] lagann_: did not solve it it moves a bit but the layout stays the same [07:26] jeebster lol I know, kills time when you're compiling something though! [07:26] and it's installing civ4 right now without problems [07:26] ikonia: syslog or syslog.0 ? === rdehler is now known as rbomb [07:26] I changed some graphics on my computer in 8.10, and it wouldn't let me click on anything inside a window, it would just initiate the drag movement o.0 [07:26] zetheroo syslog [07:26] jeebster, Well. I don't like mplayer because of its non-simplicity. I'm trying to figure out why Gnome Mplayer crash when I play it for at least 40 minutes. Not only that... but Hulu too. Could it be because of totem codecs? [07:27] zetheroo: the current one will always be syslog, syslog.$number is an archive [07:27] zetheroo the .0 is an archived (old) copy. [07:27] Saga, what kind of non-simplicity? [07:27] ikonia AidenXi : ok [07:27] mplayer :3 [07:27] Anyone have an idea why my Avant Window Navigator closes after i reboot, and why there is black lines at the end of it? [07:27] or mplayer -ass [07:27] jeebster, Two GUI in one. It's annoying but the features are nice. Lot of settings. =) [07:27] Two GUI in one o_O [07:28] exit [07:28] oops [07:28] i'm looking for an app that would allow me to mask my plaintext http traffic -- "proxy" it through an SSL enabled middle man, is this possible? [07:28] im trying to fix my apt-get update it stops at 80% [Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.37)] [07:28] any ideas ? [07:28] jeebster, You know -- An empty window and seperated control [07:28] rbomb, https? [07:28] the "empty" one should have the log, and I don't know if that's supposed to come out with smplayer [07:28] Saga VLC does this I'm pretty sure, atleast on a dual monitor setup. [07:28] ikonia: would you have any idea why dvd::rip also no longer works for me in Intrepid? [07:28] kindofabuzz: well some sites don't support, but i don't want passwords to be transmitted in plaintext [07:29] VLC is a streaming solution D: [07:29] VLC got a weak subtitle. It stretch out (in pixels) when I'm watching it full-screen. While... Mplayer or Gnome Player display subtitles beautifully. [07:29] jeebster VLC is a everything solution lol [07:29] ikonia: this is the output http://pastebin.com/d272816ee [07:29] god i could spend a year customizing my desktop...

[07:40] easiest way will be to find the name of a program which has sound working, and find the file like that [07:40] ikonia: still the same [07:40] hi everibody i have a big problem.....i have installed ubuntu in dual boot many times but this time i had a big problem....after i installed ubuntu i lost grub....so i had boot from cd and i have restored grub like in the comunity help....now i have another problem....when i decide to start windows i have a "error 13 ..." .....can somebody help me????i have read on ubuntu forum that i have to change settings on menu.lst but [07:40] andresmh: Mine definately has that problem [07:40] ikonia: I will try completely removing it and reinstalling [07:40] zetheroo: can you show me the error now that you have removed the directory please [07:40] anyone have a program better then k9 or is k9 the best [07:40] interesting.

[07:42] zetheroo I ased you to remove that directory /home/zeth/dvdrip-data/sharpesrifleeagle [07:42] LurkersA, yes [07:42] macjason0607, for you [07:42] lagann_, why ? [07:42] Then it is exactly the same problem I have :) try typing 'sudo alsa force-reload' [07:42] ikonia: yes I removed it and then started the program and tried to rip it again ... so it made the folder again ... [07:43] lagann_, my movies are legal [07:43] it will close all programs that are using alsa and restart it [07:43] see if that fixes firefox [07:43] how can i find my dell router's model name/number? [07:44] zetheroo: thats not what I asked you to do, I asked you to remove the directory and start it again to see if the error happened [07:45] ikonia: the error only happens when I try to actually rip the data off the dvd ... not when the program opens [07:45] it did LurkersA ! :) [07:45] zetheroo: have you tried a different dvd [07:45] ikonia: yes [07:45] zetheroo: that error is basiclly saying the data being ripped is an unknown file type [07:45] zetheroo: and this happens with every dvd [07:45] zetheroo: have you got the dvdccs packages installed ? [07:45] ikonia: hmm .... od [07:46] there are no flame usplash's :( [07:46] ikonia: will check [07:46] macjason0607, why won't you try other program for backing up dvd from the repos? [07:46] andresmh: Then it is definitely the lock on the sound output :) That command I gave you will fix it everytime it happens, sure it's a little clunky, but it appears to be a clash with flash and alsa [07:46] zetheroo: you must know, you had to run through a script to put the librarys on your system to decrypt dvd's [07:46] !dvd [07:46] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:46] ikonia: dvdcss?

"To activate DVD Decyption" [07:47] isn't pulseaudio an alternative to alsa? [07:48] ikonia: do I have to do that thing from Medibuntu ? [07:48] ikonia: oh ok [07:48] zetheroo: no [07:48] what's the deffault url to get to my router settings in a browser? [07:48] zetheroo: read the link [07:48] andresmh: I'm not 100% sure on that. Iteresting thought though [07:49] I'm trying to use Cheese to capture video from webcam but it hangs. Any idea on how to debug it? [07:49] it's a built-in webcam on a thinkpad [07:49] and the LED does turn on, but then Cheese hangs [07:49] can i use an usb to serial adaptor for kernel console debugging ? [07:50] Hey I tried the KDE desktop environment and uininstalled it but now Opera looks kdeish and its annoying. Can I return it to defaults? Hopwso? [07:50] jeancalvin, open a terminal, type ifconfig, and look for where it says eth0 (only if you're using one NIC and not using a wireless card) [07:50] ikonia: sudo: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh: command not found [07:50] zetheroo: you've not got it installed [07:51] andresmh: Just had a read about pulseaudio, It's just a server that connects to some ALSA stuff. We are still running ALSA :| still was an interesting exercise [07:51] ikonia: it says to install libdvdread3 ... and I have that installed [07:51] lagann_: that advice is for what? port forwarding? [07:51] Question, how do I load Usplash themes, and what's the file extension for them? [07:51] jeancalvin, type that and give me the ip address [07:51] LurkersA, thanks for reading about it! i feel better to know i am not having some conflict [07:52] ikonia: and then step 2 says to just put that into the terminal [07:52] andresmh: No problem :) I was quite interested about it too :) [07:52] lagann_: inet addr:192.168.2.3 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [07:52] lagann_: i found my dell router's port forwarding settings page. [07:53] zetheroo: show me dpkg -i | grep libdvdread3 [07:53] jeancalvin, so you must type: 192.168.2.1 in your web browser to get to your router settings [07:53] Port Forwarding Settings page says that Port Forward is enabled for Transmission. Incoming port is "1~1". Destination IP address is 192.168.2.3. [07:54] lagann_: yes, i'm on my router settings now. [07:54] do you happen to know how to configure Cheese or Camorama ? Cheese hangs and Camorama gives this error "Cannot connect to video device (/dev/video0) " [07:54] how do i get an open port for transmission? [07:54] hey guys [07:54] are there any good programs for ubuntu that you guys recommend [07:54] ikonia: zeth@zeth-r61:~$ sudo dpkg -i | grep libdvdread3 [07:54] dpkg: --install needs at least one package archive file argument [07:55] EMPulse: ton's search through the package managers and dry some stuff [07:55] jeancalvin, what port did you put for transmission to use? [07:55] zetheroo: sorry dpkg -l [07:55] zetheroo: not -i [07:55] ikonia: ok [07:55] EMPulse: "try" some stuff [07:55] EMPulse: Anything in particular you are looking for? [07:55] LurkersA, I dunno, firewall and stuff I guess, I've run out of programs to try on ubuntu [07:55] lagann_: you mean in Transmission's program settings or my router settings? [07:55] ikonia: zeth@zeth-r61:~$ sudo dpkg -l | grep libdvdread3 [07:55] ii libdvdread3 0.9.7-11ubuntu2 library for reading DVDs [07:55] in the transmissions... [07:55] EMPulse: Firestarter is a good firewall [07:56] LurkersA, cool, thanks [07:56] ikonia: I think something is amiss with the Ubuntu Docs ... no? [07:56] EMPulse: No problem [07:56] zetheroo no [07:56] by the way, lagann_, according to http://www.portforward.com/help/portforwarding.htm, port forwarding is needed only if NAT is not working. Can we not get transmission to use nat, so that we can avoid port forwarding? [07:56] zetheroo: do "ls -la /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh" [07:56] jeancalvin, actually, you are using NAT. [07:57] lagann_: well, at first it was a big number. Something like 249830. But then I changed it arbitrarily to "1". [07:57] ikonia: zeth@zeth-r61:~$ ls -la /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [07:57] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2741 2008-09-26 10:53 /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [07:57] zetheroo: so the file is there - you must have miss-typed it [07:57] zetheroo: something is wrong with your typing, not the docs [07:58] webcam seems to work on skype but not on cheese nor camorama, any ideas? [07:58] zetheroo: ahhhh I see, the examples line is added [07:58] ikonia ... ok ... well I just copy/pasted it ... no typing involved [07:58] Slapdash [07:58] zetheroo: there we go, it's the "examples" directory [07:58] ikonia: so it should be without it? [07:58] i'm setting snort up according to the guide on forums.

[07:59] zetheroo: yes, use the path I just gave you [07:59] <_MM_> hello guys, i have a feeling that someone hacked my computer. i was in the terminal a and message are you on drugs? appeared. than i typed some command and another message appeared. i disconnected my pc from the internet immediatelly and changed password for user and put it down on the sheet of paper. after i rebooted my machine, i couldn't even log in as a user. i had to log in as root and change my password. [07:59] guys .. if i want to remote desktop my ubuntu machine how would i allow it ? [07:59] lagann_: in my router's settings for transmission. should I make the port type: "TCP", "UDP" or "both"? [07:59] ikonia: ok ... that did it [07:59] lagann_: is it okay to keep incoming ports from "1" to "1"? [07:59] what does aptitude reinstall '~i' do?

[08:00] zetheroo: no [08:00] what's a good hdd benchmark tool? [08:00] macjason0607: If I was in Ubuntu I could tell you exactly, But I know it's there somewhere [08:00] anyone here use UBUNTU ultimate 2.0, and/or have the xchat command to get to their room? [08:00] or know the channel? [08:01] lagann_: so is it okay to keep incoming ports "1~1"?

[08:03] HI, how can I go from a running debian server to ubuntu server on xen ? [08:03] hi, can anyone help me share a file with windows (smb) , or point me to a guide, i'm using a barebone install with xfce [08:04] ikonia: its all for video playback ... [08:04] lagann_: it Transmissions > Settings> Peers tab, it says "Listening port: 1" "Port is closed.' I don't get it. [08:04] !samba > servino [08:04] servino, please see my private message [08:04] I thought I chose "1" as the port in my dell router settings. [08:04] lagann_: i'm so confused! [08:04] lodder: install the ubuntu server - overwriting the debian install [08:05] zetheroo: follow the instructions on the website I gave you [08:05] ikonia: I don't have a cd-rom driver or usb [08:05] ikonia: it's a xen server [08:05] ikonia: ok ... I just re-opened dvdrip and it seems to be working now [08:05] lodder: buy a usb cdrom drive, or setup a net boot, however thats quite a long winded process [08:05] lodder: then use xen to boot from an image [08:05] k [08:06] ikonia: its working now .... :) ... thanks for your help [08:07] So, I just installed Intrepid Ibex, and I was wondering how do you disable the gnome-panel? In hardy, you can just turn it off in Sessions, that option isnt there anymore?? [08:08] ikonia, thank you, do you know a little about smb, i went thru the links but have some questions [08:08] guys i allowed my ubuntu to be shared .. i try to connect to it from windows and it says that i don't have any terminal servers running .. any ideas ? [08:08] macjason0607: how are you trying to connect to it? [08:08] i'm setting snort up according to the intrusion detection thread. "Change "var HOME_NET any" to "var HOME_NET 192.168.0.0/16" (use your netmask here)." my netmask has always been 255.255.255.0, is that what i put there? [08:08] can someone pls help me with port issue in Transmission? [08:08] WIGGMPk, remote desktop connection [08:08] servino ask them [08:08] jeancalvin: Is port 1 a reserved port? It is used for TCPMUX so maybe you can't open it. [08:09] anyone have an experience with setting pxe boot of ubuntu live (hardy or intrepid) over nfs for more clients? how the server load will increase? how many clients can work over one server? [08:09] macjason0607: how did you "share" ubuntu? [08:09] WIGGMPk, system > remote desktop [08:09] macjason0607: behind a router? [08:09] jeancalvin: try using a port that isn't used for anything else, there is a list here http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers [08:09] ikonia, basically i want to share a folder that anyone can modify and acess [08:09] yea but im internal WIGGMPk [08:09] macjason0607: try using vncviewer and not RDC [08:09] aw [08:09] WIGGMPk, on windows ? [08:10] LurkersA: thank you for your reply. I'm not sure if port 1 is a reserved port. Also, I added more "incoming ports" [08:10] macjason0607: yes, RDC on windows is not that great.. vnc viewer is free and small download.. [08:10] re: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers, should i chose a port that is said to be "unassigned"? [08:10] ikonia, i'm not sure how to set it up, do i need to define smb users? [08:10] I'm trying to install a program called Inform 7 on Ubuntu 8.10. The deb they provide is for 8.04. When i run the program it crashes on startup with these errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/76715/ Can anyone give me a clue on what goes wrong? [08:10] macjason0607: btw, are you trying to RDC via hostname or IP? [08:10] ip [08:10] jeancalvin: Yes, That was you can be assured of no clashes [08:11] Not an Ubuntu noob, but when trying to aptitude install b43-fwcutter it stalls at 75% when downloading. Even if I go the: sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh direction it stalls .. anyone got another path for this? [08:11] macjason0607: thats going to bother me now, cause RDC should work [08:11] ikonia, the folder is on linux, the clients are several windows machien... [08:11] or should I used a private port, LurkersA? [08:11] my windows is on wifi .. ubuntu is hardwired .. i let ubuntu share but remote desktop on windows won't see it [08:11] jeancalvin: Unassigned is probably a better bet [08:12] macjason0607: so Ubuntu is shared via Remote Desktop, and when you try to RDC from windows, it wont pick it up... did you try pinging the IP from the WIndows machine just to make sure you can reach it? [08:12] yea one sec [08:12] If I can find the wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o file on the Internet somewhere; what directory does it need to be in for the b43-fwcutter install to find it? [08:12] let me try WIGGMPk [08:13] why is transmission sleeping all of a sudden? is 'sleeping" like a crash? [08:14] join #perlnet [08:14] does google have an escape character? [08:14] <_coredump_> moinsen [08:14] hmm.. i can't ping it.. probably cause its vista .. gimme a sec WIGGMPk [08:14] my browser is rendering a page..and a certificate is shown in the terminal ..but my problem is for the other sites it does not work.. ie. site gets rendered but a certificate is not shown in the terminal [08:14] it only works for https://login.yahoo.com [08:14] not for any other sites.. (https:// sites) [08:14] and is it possible to print anything what is there in the handle.. ? [08:14] cURL handle.. [08:14] sleepy_cat: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:14] my basic question is how do i share a folder with windows using the smb.conf file? [08:16] FloodBot instead of tht try to solve my problem [08:16] WIGGMPk, im typing this from my laptop .. vnc is working [08:16] sleepy_cat: FloodBot is a Bot, It can't respond to you [08:16] macjason0607: so vncviewer works but RDC doesnt? [08:16] o cool [08:16] sleepy_cat: It just sees a long list of posts by you and guesses you are spamming. [08:16] yea [08:17] let me try again [08:17] sleepy_cat: Just try to keep the question to one line :) [08:17] macjason0607: did you change anything? using hostname or IP now? can you ping either? (hostname or IP)? [08:18] ok tell me as many https pages as possible [08:19] sleepy_cat: https://mail.google.com [08:19] hi, i'm having a LUKS drive starting to fail (some few sectors now return error and auto-relocate fail), should i be using smartctl or badblocks primarily to check it? and if badblocks, then should it be run on physical or mapped drive? [08:20] sleepy_cat: https://www.cia.gov/ === mfoniso1 is now known as mfoniso [08:20] sleepy_cat: just search "https:// [08:20] "https: //" in google [08:20] whats my best command to run over a drive and check and mark for bad sectors. [08:21] Anyone know how I can adjust the brightness of my macbook? [08:21] are you running gnome? [08:21] o kthanx [08:22] naftilos76, Yes [08:22] anyone with luks/cryptsetup experience?

[08:23] http;//HIN MAGAZINE.COM [08:24] easy to find...it certainty works for me [08:24] naftilos76, brilliant. Thanks for that [08:26] what does: aptitude reinstall '~i' do? [08:26] is your mac a recent model? [08:26] i tried googling it but i found nothing [08:26] JyZyXEL: reinstalls every installed package? [08:26] nme what does it basicly mean? [08:27] JyZyXEL: what does reinstall mean? [08:27] in what situation would you wanna do something like that? [08:27] naftilos76, it's a 2,1 [08:27] So intel, but not the newer ones [08:27] JyZyXEL, don't just google, make use of the terminal, type man aptitude on it [08:27] help; why can't i edit failes in "/etc/modprobe.d"? [08:28] Running Intrepid Ibex (amd64) and need to remove the "gnome-panel" and prevent it from running, and for some reason even though I have the following command "emerald --replace&" to start in the sessions, but it doesnt work. Any thoughts??? [08:28] ok! nice [08:28] lagann_ its not gonna tell me why i would wanna use that spesfic command [08:28] help; why can't i edit files in "/etc/modprobe.d"? [08:28] nme: It removes the package then installs it again [08:28] ahtmly2k, probably need to use sudo [08:28] i did [08:29] naftilos76, so sadly having quite a few issues with 8.10 :( [08:29] i did sudo in terminal [08:29] ahtmly2k→ how? tell us what you wrote [08:29] Has anybody installed virtualbox 2.04 from the repos? Are usb devices showing up? [08:29] naftilos76→ no, virtualbox-ose has no usb support [08:29] ahtmly2k, sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d ? [08:29] opened the file "alsa-base" in file bfrowser [08:30] no [08:30] ahtmly2k, try that... [08:30] i'm trying to add a line in a file laocated in that folder [08:30] /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [08:30] ahtmly2k, try the command i have given you [08:30] oh [08:30] looks like dpkg 3) viritys, purkka, ei hax and forget 4) tuki, [08:30] ei support 5) alkaa pelleillä, ei pelleilemään 6) ei nyt ain [08:31] will try [08:31] So, it hasn't been compiled with usb support? Is that what's you're telling me? [08:31] ahtmly2k, wait [08:31] which file excatly? [08:31] naftilos76→ no, i'm telling you it HAS no usb support to compile [08:31] it wont, it says cannot open display: [08:31] Run 'gedit --help' to see a full list of available command line options. [08:31] ahtmly2k, [08:32] hey, ive added user but once i do cd ~ i dont have a home folder or .ssh folder... how can i add to user the home directory? [08:32] yup? [08:32] ahtmly2k, try this sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [08:32] will do [08:33] krupa^, log in to the newly added user account? [08:33] it wont, still says "root@ahtmly2k-ubuntu64:~# sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [08:33] cannot open display: [08:33] Run 'gedit --help' to see a full list of available command line options. [08:33] " [08:33] ahtmly2k: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:33] dear friends, [08:34] i logged before with ssh [08:34] i just dont have home folder like root user have [08:35] ahtmly2k, try nano instead of gedit [08:35] dear friends, I'm trying to set up port forwarding on my transmission bittorrent program (in hopes that download speed will be better). the page on http://www.transmissionbt.com/help/gtk/1.4x/html/pfrouter.html gives detailed instruction, but it seems to miss one thing: My dell router port forwarding settings is asking for "Destination Port" (see http://www.piccdrop.com/images/1227602130.png), but transmission help page given doesn't s [08:36] howdy channel, I'm experiencing a problem when I exit from any game on my laptop recently upgraded to Intrepid, when I exit the entire desktop freezes [08:36] jeancalvin→ the "Destination port" in your router settings should be the same number as the port setting in transmission [08:36] I can't ctrl-backspace or ctrl-f1 either [08:37] so far it's happened with glest, vegastrike warzone 2100 and a few others [08:38] from within X you have to ctrl+alt+f1 [08:38] sorry yes, I've tried [08:38] got the key sequence wrong [08:38] dear magnetron, thank you. in transmission, the only "port" thing I see is "listening port" (under Network tab). Isn't transmission's "listening port" equal to router's "incoming port"? [08:38] I recently moved back to radeon drivers from fglrx [08:38] is the box hung entirely? or just X? [08:39] jeancalvin→ yes. that too [08:39] hung entirely [08:39] even remote ssh sessions freeze [08:39] so, it doesn't even respond to ping? [08:39] k [08:39] dunno, that's weird [08:39] I'd like to think I'm an experienced user [08:39] I've been using linux for about 5-6 years [08:39] but this has me stumped [08:39] magnetron: are you saying that in Router's port forwarding settings for transmission service, "Incoming Ports" should equal " Destination Port"? (see http://www.piccdrop.com/images/1227602130.png) [08:39] the new version of X11 really pisses me off. [08:40] well, sounds like a bug in the video driver when changing video modes [08:40] was running hardy and did a dist-upgrade to intrepid [08:40] jeancalvin→ use the same port for "listening port" in transmission, "incoming port" and "destination port" in your router [08:40] WalrusMan: very possible [08:40] I'm using the radeon driver on Intrepid, though it's been fine here [08:41] what sort of hw you using? [08:41] it's a radeon 9000 [08:41] I'm on a thinkpad T42p w/ ati firegl T2 [08:41] yeah, that's a bit more recent than mine [08:41] this is a 6 year old card [08:41] this is strange: Dell Router won't accept "49153" as incoming port value. [08:41] fglrx was giving me all sorts of problems with suspend/resume [08:42] LurkersA: magnetron: pls see above === sirfelius_ is now known as sirfelius [08:42] for not much noticable speed increase in rendering [08:42] * Panarchy says Hi [08:42] WalrusMan: so any suggestions? [08:42] kupo [08:42] repeat question, I might be able to help [08:42] not sure what to tell you -- I'm guessing nothing makes it into the system log before the system hangs? [08:43] Panarchy: want me to pm it to you? [08:43] How do I discover in what data mode my ext3 partition is? [08:43] WalrusMan: I've checked but maybe..... [08:43] you might ask in #xorg where people will know more about the driver [08:43] where would be best log to check? [08:43] <|TJ|> how do i figure out my ip through terminal [08:43] /var/log/syslog ? [08:43] kupo: /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [08:43] |TJ|: ifconfig [08:43] sniff_: yeah checked that earlier [08:44] only thing suspicious was [08:44] jeancalvin: Hmmmm Interesting. Does it do that with any other ports? [08:44] dennda [08:44] what was that other command? [08:44] LurkersA: yes [08:44] like there's more than one that shows your ip [08:44] what was the other one? [08:44] maybe it's dell's router page [08:44] <|TJ|> dennda: it dont show it, it shows my router ip [08:44] "AUDIT: Tue Nov 25 02:00:48 2008: 5277 X: client 4 rejected from local host ( uid=1000 gid=1000 pid=5672 )" [08:44] How do I discover in what data mode my ext3 partition is (e.g. data=journal, data=ordered)? [08:44] kupo: i've had problems with games not restoring screen resolution to normal after quitting, due to compiz in intrepid probably, i have to kill the game binary by hand and reconfigure my x screen to normal reso [08:44] LurkersA: i can't delete other custom entries in dell router's page. [08:45] kupo: although i'm using nvidia [08:45] sniff_: yeah i've had that happend to [08:45] xrandr time? [08:45] jeancalvin: That is..... odd [08:45] but this is is just a hard freeze [08:45] how can I figure out the brand of a new external USB drive I just connected to ubuntu (mounted fine) [08:45] Panarchy: did you want me to pm you the problem? [08:45] yo yo yo [08:45] cMad_, try looking at lsusb [08:45] jeancalvin: Are there any fields on the page that are not filled in? [08:45] <|TJ|> How to i make my computer to where someone can SSH into it [08:45] kupo [08:45] yes [08:46] <|TJ|> !ssh [08:46] WalrusMan; will do, cheers :) [08:46] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [08:46] |TJ|: make sure you have openssh-server installed [08:46] ubottu [08:46] |TJ|: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [08:46] sudo apt-get install putty [08:46] well, i've filled them all in, but it says "wrong value" for the "from" field in "Incoming ports" [08:46] Panarchy: you can ssh from the terminal, no need for an extra client app [08:46] <|TJ|> ActionParsnip1: does it config itself? [08:47] jeancalvin: Hmmmmmmm [08:47] |TJ|: you will be able to logon with the accounts on the system you are ssh-ing to [08:47] LurkersA: is there some other way i can edit my dell router settings? [08:47] ActionParsnip1: i think he wants someone to ssh to him [08:47] |TJ|: X forwarding is also enabled by default :D [08:47] jeancalvin: I am not sure sorry -shrug- [08:47] jeancalvin: Try googling the router model number to get some documents [08:48] WalrusMan; bit confusing that, any tips on how to use lsusb? [08:48] <|TJ|> ActionParsnip1: now i need my IP address i do ifconfig and it give me 127.0.0.1 [08:48] is there a book on bazaar? [08:48] cMad_, well what was the output? (put it on a pastebin) [08:48] |TJ|: then thats not SSH. thats your network configuration [08:49] |TJ|: how about the output of ifconfig eth0 [08:49] WalrusMan; http://paste.ubuntu.com/76722/ [08:49] |TJ|: can you provide a pastebin if the entire output of ifconfig please [08:49] !paste | |TJ| [08:49] |TJ|: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:49] <|TJ|> one second [08:50] np [08:50] <|TJ|> i gotta figure out how to copy from terminal to pastebin [08:50] <|TJ|> im using xterm [08:50] How do I discover in what data mode my ext3 partition is (e.g. data=journal, data=ordered)? [08:50] cMad_, well the vendor string is on the right hand side [08:50] LurkersA: port 12 seems to be acceptable to dell router. [08:50] select as normal, ctrl + C, then paste to web as usual [08:50] and accdng to http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers, port 12 is unassigned. [08:51] what do I type into terminal to reset the layout of my 'top menubar' [08:51] (using ubuntu) [08:51] WalrusMan; sorry, perhaps I was unclear. I want to know the brand of the drive (Western Digital etc) of a new USB HDD (Buffalo Drivestation) I've just plugged into Ubuntu and mounted [08:51] besides making /home its own partition, is there anything I should setup when doing a clean install? (I have / on a 10gb partition) [08:51] jeancalvin, try using the port number: 51413 for your transmission and dell router [08:51] how to see the groups from the command line? [08:51] haha, groups [08:51] jeancalvin: tHAT LOOKS GOOD THEN :) [08:52] jeancalvin: Excuse the caps [08:52] lagann_: i'll try your 51413 if transmission still thinks Port 12 is closed. [08:52] * LurkersA is embarrassed [08:52] lagann_: for some reason, dell router doesn't seem to like big numbers [08:52] (using ubuntu) [08:52] what do I type into terminal to reset the layout of my 'top menubar' [08:53] cMad_, hm, not sure how you might get more like that easily.. what shows in dmesg when you plug it in? [08:53] lagann_: yes, transmission still says "port 12 is closed". aagh. === stephen is now known as Guest44203 [08:53] How do you turn off "gnome-panel" and prevent it from starting in Intrepid Ibex, and how do you get Emerald to automatically start when you login? (I already have "emerald --replace&" in sessions) [08:53] what do I type into terminal to reset the layout of my 'top menubar' [08:54] WalrusMan; scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access BUFFALO External HDD PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 CCS [08:54] lagann_: does this http://www.piccdrop.com/images/1227603262.png look right? [08:54] |TJ|: ok well eth1 has a valid IP address [08:54] jeancalvin, yes... [08:54] |TJ|: lo is the one you were detailing with 127.0.0.1 [08:54] lagann_: should incoming port and destination port be the same value? Shouldn't they be different? [08:54] Panarchy, what do you mean? [08:54] cMad_, sounds more like what you want [08:54] |TJ|: this is standard [08:54] WalrusMan [08:54] Yesterday on this channel [08:54] jeancalvin, hold up! [08:55] lagann_: crazy dell router won't accept 51413 as the value!!! [08:55] someone told me the commadn to reset the placement of stuff on the top menubar (panel) [08:55] i hate this dell router. [08:55] why you want so high a number? [08:55] jeancalvin, change the port type to only TCP [08:56] lagann_: even when i changed to ONLY TCP, dell router says the same thing. [08:56] 8-( [08:56] lagann_: its exact message is "Please enter a valid port value for the 'from' value of Incoming port !!" [08:56] WalrusMan: I'll give em a shot, thanks for your help [08:57] servino, what's the command to reset the layout of the top bar? [08:57] cMad_, http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids has a mapping of usb ids that might be handy, though I don't see your drvie there [08:57] lagann_: 28 as value works. but why does transmission say "Port is closed"??? [08:57] Panarchy, are you Panarchy from Windowsforum? [08:57] why do you ask? [08:57] is there a better driver for the Atheros wifi than the one used in Ubuntu ? [08:57] WalrusMan; cheers, I'll have a look [08:57] zetheroo [08:57] yes [08:58] have a look at the backtrack wiki === wiggen is now known as Wiggen_ [08:58] Atheros ones are awesome for packet injection [08:58] Panarchy, i don't know the command, didnt realise there was one [08:59] Panarchy: not sure what you mean [08:59] zetheroo [08:59] I changed my resolution, and I want to move everything back to how it was before [09:00] without having to right-click, Lock to Panel, Move [09:00] for every single thing... lol [09:00] Panarchy, oh i know, gconf-edit [09:01] servino [09:01] nup [09:01] not understanding the command... [09:01] Panarchy: ummm yes? [09:01] zetheroo [09:01] command doesn't do anything [09:01] AT ALL [09:01] anyone have any experience with Atheros in Intrepid? [09:02] have a look on the backtrack forums [09:02] and or backtrack irc channel [09:02] when installing with multiple partitions, should I make them primary or logical? [09:02] zetheroo: what are you talking about? ... you were telling me something about Atheros.... and now what are you saying? [09:02] jeancalvin, how about you change the service name from transmission to torrent? [09:02] lagann_: will that help? [09:03] I don't know, but you can give it a try [09:03] ok. [09:03] With the top menubar, how do I make my own custom 'menu-list'? Currently there are 3, Applications | Places | System, I would like to add a fourth one, how do I add a fourth one? [09:03] woody86: you can have 4 primary. I'd suggest 2 primary and the rest logical [09:03] Panarchy, try gconf-editor...can't remember well..cause i dont use gnome [09:04] Though depends on what OSs are going to be installed [09:04] I'm looking for a lean notepad-type application that I can use in an always-on-top mode to keep track of a few simple tasks, etc. it should use as little unnecessary real estate as possible (no menus, etc). anyone know of such an app for gnome? [09:04] lagann_: that doesn't work. [09:04] servino, the gconf-editor command isn't recognised by terminal [09:04] ndlovu: vim set to "Always on Top"? [09:04] ActionParsnip1: would you have any insight into the Atheros chipset in Intrepid? [09:04] WORKING NOW [09:04] zetheroo: mine works out of the box [09:05] jeancalvin, did you get the same message? [09:05] ActionParsnip1, well, I'm going to have one for / one for /home and then the swap, can I make them all primary? [09:05] zetheroo: used linux restricted modules [09:05] ActionParsnip1: mine too ... but not very well ... [09:05] lagann_: well, dell router was okay with name change. but transmission gave same "port is closed" messaeg. [09:05] woody86: yeah sounds fine [09:05] ActionParsnip1, cool, thanks :) [09:05] woody86: nice choice of partitions, makes backups easier [09:05] LurkersA, it's still got menus and scroll bar that take up too much space... unless there's a way to turn those off? [09:06] how can ttf-opensymbol be an important security update? [09:06] ActionParsnip1, that's what I'm hoping for :) I've done at least a dozen clean installs on my laptop, but never really looked into how to properly partion them myself [09:06] ActionParsnip1: what is the default driver that Ubuntu uses for the Atheros wifi chip? [09:06] ActionParsnip1, would there be benefits to making any other seperate partitions? Like for /boot or anything else? [09:07] How do i keep my screenlets from disapearing everytime i log off? [09:08] With the top menubar, how do I make my own custom 'menu-list'? Currently there are 3, Applications | Places | System, I would like to add a fourth one, how do I add a fourth one? [09:08] <|TJ|> ActionParsnip1: i added port fwding to my router and im still getting connection refused [09:08] woody86: not massively afaiks [09:08] |TJ|: then you arent doing the forwarding right [09:08] ActionParsnip1, ok, thanks again :) [09:08] How do you remove and prevent from starting the "gnome-panel" in Intrepid Ibex????? [09:08] ndlovu: You could use it in a terminal? [09:08] ok, i got a really dumb question [09:08] I accidently blocked images from gnome-look.org on FF, how do I unblock them? [09:09] zetheroo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/76727/ [09:09] guys, i think according to some docs on my router, for port forwarding to work, i need to set up a static ip address. [09:09] zetheroo: thats what it says from lshw -C network [09:09] ndlovu: Vim is just a frontend for vi, which is initially just a terminal text editor. other option is emacs [09:09] LurkersA, yes, I'm experimenting with that, and I see you can turn off the menu. Do you know if it's possible to turn off the application bar (or make it invisible)? [09:09] how do I set up a solid color desktop background? I cant find how to deactivate the background pics [09:09] <|TJ|> ActionParsnip1: i fwd port 22 on ip 192.168.0.2 [09:09] |TJ|: you may want to put the system running the ssh server on static ip, saves heartache later if its ip changes due to expired dhcp lease [09:10] |TJ|: read the manual for your router, maybe theres a step you are missing or maybe the router needs rebooting to apply [09:10] <|TJ|> ActionParsnip1: my ip never changes i just dont remember it... [09:10] ndlovu: Um... theoretically :) just have a play around with it :) [09:10] |TJ|: im on about your systems IP not your routers [09:10] Anyone got a idea on how I fix this? [09:11] which of the options in the dropdown menu is the place to setup static ip address: pls see http://www.piccdrop.com/images/1227604261.png [09:11] ActionParsnip1: this is what mine says http://pastebin.com/d69b79058 [09:11] zetheroo: looks fine [09:12] candykiller_: tools | Options | Content "Load images Automatically: Exceptions" [09:12] ActionParsnip1: yeah ... just that my wifi never connects automatically ... and I have to refresh the network list manually for it to see anything at all [09:13] zetheroo: do you use any other wifi except this one/ [09:13] has anybody been using ubuntu->vmware->windows on their machines? [09:13] ActionParsnip1: none [09:13] couldn't get it to work for me [09:13] LurkersA: Mine doesn't have a Options under tools :( [09:13] sudheer_: yeas [09:14] I'm doing windows->vmware->ubuntu now [09:14] ;) [09:14] sudheer_: i am sure someone has used this, just ask your real question [09:14] sniff, my problem is that when I start windows in vmware player, it doesn't play sounds [09:14] LurkersA: Nevermind, under the Edit Tab [09:14] sudheer_: audio device needs to be available upon starting vmware-vmrc or use a wrapper like artsdsp or aoss [09:14] zetheroo: you could always manually configure /etc/network/interfaces to be configured for the only wifi it connects to. The app will the be redundant and it will connect without scanning [09:14] candykiller_: Ok :) [09:14] ActionParsnip1: should I try compiling madwifi? [09:14] LurkersA: Thank you [09:15] sudheer_: or upon starting the windows [09:15] I heard and realized that it's mozilla firefox that's been locking /dev/adsp [09:15] zetheroo: no need, the connection works fine. If you enter the connection details into /etc/network/interfaces it will connect fine [09:16] anyone know how I change the desktop background to a solid color? I cant seem to deactivate the background pics [09:16] zetheroo: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [09:16] ActionParsnip1: will it? cause it looks like the card sees nothing unless I manually refresh the wireless networks list [09:17] zetheroo: that will help ^ [09:17] background first entry should be asolidcolour [09:17] harlekin: thanks [09:18] /join #mythbuntu [09:18] no prob [09:18] zetheroo: maybe adding the command to sudo iwlist scan will help (not graceful but may solve it) [09:19] * Mustinet Back !

[09:27] rofl@floodbot [09:27] I just installed MySQL, apparently it set a default password [09:27] what is it? [09:28] hi [09:28] Eg, I cannot connect using mysql -u root [09:28] marina, did you try 'password' [09:29] the default sql admin username is usually 'sa' === MrObvious is now known as Anyone [09:29] sudheer_: just did, does not work === Anyone is now known as MrObvious [09:29] sa is only default for sql server. mysql defaults to root [09:30] Strange, I only did a apt-get install mysql [09:30] marina, it didnt set a default password, it asked you to using mysqladmin [09:30] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mysql-change-root-password/ [09:30] marina, mysql -u root -h localhost [09:31] joeb3_: still asking for pass [09:31] marina: how about 'adminadmin' [09:31] yeah it defaults to localhost, thats not the problem [09:31] check the link i pasted [09:32] carpii: not working [09:32] mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD [09:32] still saying access denied [09:32] Ha, I managed to connect [09:33] maybe the install script did ask me for a password [09:33] I finally found it [09:33] :p [09:33] marina: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/06/06/change-and-reset-mysql-root-password/ [09:33] is there a way to get a list of all the channels available on irc.freenode? [09:33] !channels [09:33] oOarthurOo: yes, what client? [09:33] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [09:33] ziroday: Pidgin [09:33] oOarthurOo: nevermind, follow the link ActionParsnip1 gave you [09:34] thanks ActionParsnip1 ziroday [09:34] Is there any setting in Evolution that shows if a message has been forwarded? [09:34] (from the user to someone else, that is) [09:37] With the top menubar, how do I make my own custom 'menu-list'? Currently there are 3, Applications | Places | System, I would like to add a fourth one, how do I add a fourth one? [09:38] Panarchy: That, I think is not possible. [09:38] riglhtclick on that menu [09:38] and add ? [09:39] Panarchy: Not without checking out the source, hacking it to your needs, and then compiling your own panel app. [09:39] what's a quick way to see which port numbers/values are still UNassigned on my computer/router/network/whatever? [09:39] With linux everything is possible, but given your question, I'd have to say for 99% of Ubuntu users, it is not possibe. [09:41] Panarchy: Depending on what you are trying to do, have you considered adding a drawer to the panel, naming the drawer what you like, then adding the various apps you want available in it? [09:41] You could then move the drawer beside the main menu and replicate somewhat what you are hoping to achieve. [09:41] what /sbin/route returns for 'destination' should be the network line (when configuring local static) in /etc/network/interfaces ? [09:41] Hi [09:42] so, if I want address to be 192.168.2.22 it still makes sense to have network 192.168.3.0 ? [09:42] How do I start Ubuntu from the command line ? ... I would like to install KDE, and power on the PC so I can choose which GUI to launch [09:44] Abracadabra: the Login manager does that for you, it gives you the option to start Gnome, KDE or whatever else you have installed [09:44] netstat -tulp [09:44] jeancalvin: i suggest to write a litte script that ouputs such using netstat [09:44] haha, oops [09:44] hi, why would apache on ubuntu serve a request for /phpinfo (without the .php extension) from /phpinfo.php ? im sure its not from mod_rewrite or mod spelling, what other modules could allow for this kind of spelling correction? [09:44] oskar-: i'm no hacker. i'm a newb [09:45] stdin, the login manager ? ....as I boot, I get to a login screen and it start Gnome by default ..... [09:45] jeancalvin: where do you want to use it for? maybe there are other solutions? [09:45] Abracadabra: where you put in your username and password there is a menu to choose which session to start [09:46] stdin, booting it now.....and checking [09:46] jeancalvin: i just want an open port for a program [09:47] so the login page is neither part of Gnome nor KDE ? [09:47] hey, can anyone give me a hand with a problem getting ubuntu to boot from a flash drive? [09:47] nida [09:47] i just can't get it boot [09:48] hiiiiiiiiiii [09:48] Abracadabra: GDM (the default on Gnome/Ubuntu) is a part of Gnome, but it can start any desktop manager [09:48] theCzar, did you change the boot sequence in your BIOS? [09:48] ok, and within the apt-get, what is it that I need to install to get KDE ? [09:48] Abracadabra: "kubuntu-desktop" [09:49] when I do apt-cache search kde ... pages of them appear [09:49] MWHAHAHAHA [09:49] * zzeus is back [09:49] stdin, would that mean I have Kubuntu as well as Ubuntu then ? [09:49] wb evil zzeus =) [09:49] Abracadabra: yes [09:49] jeancalvin, how about you just enable the dmz option in your router settings? [09:50] stdin, cool, thanks, you rock! [09:50] lagann_ yes [09:50] lagann_: i don't think bittorrent likes dmz option [09:50] i even forced it to not be able to boot from anything else [09:50] jeancalvin: you can view a list of used ports with something like "netstat -atun". port numbers for tcp and udp reach from 0 to 65535, so everything not mentioned is unused atm [09:50] hi all, i just got ubuntu hardy working on my laptop, however when viewing sites the fonts are all out of wack - is there a way to make browsing similar to a windows machine? so the font look normal? [09:51] oskar-: is there a netstat command to get a list of UNused ports? [09:51] i don't know of any option or command [09:51] theCzar: Have you made your usb bootable with a package or program, like syslinux? [09:51] what would you recommend ? ...kde4 or the older version ? [09:51] or can I use the old version, then upgrade it if I want to ? [09:51] my question above, got some help, it was from Options MultiViews, which can cause an url without a .php extension get mapped to the .php file [09:51] oOarthurOo I used syslinux in the terminal [09:51] jeancalvin: why would one need that? [09:52] jeancalvin: that list normally would be quite long and confusing [09:52] sc9ens: you could install IE with wine [09:52] theCzar: I used a tire iron in the street, but it doesn't mean I changed my tire. What instructions are you following? [09:52] hmm id rather use firefox [09:52] sc9ens: install wine and wine-doors [09:53] sc9ens: what do you mean with out of wack? can you provide a screenshot? [09:53] sc9ens: k, well you can also install msfonts [09:53] for example im using google docs and the defaut font is veranda but i get some wierd other font [09:53] já sall [09:53] oOarthurOo I know that just letting you know there was no GUI issues, i used penlinux's stuff and some help from debuntu when that didn't work [09:53] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/10/15/ubuntu-810-persistent-flash-drive-install-from-live-cd/ [09:53] oskar-: here's netstat -atun printout: http://pastebin.com/m6cbf46e7 . what is a low number for unused port? [09:53] Hello, how can I tell ls to list only directories? i.e. like the DOS command "dir /ad" [09:53] C0p3rn1c: this is not a good idea. ie6 is a mess regarding to security, and it is unstable with wine [09:54] oskar-: yeah ms IE is pretty crappy [09:54] if i turn on DMZ on my router, would my "Port is closed" issue go away? [09:54] theCzar: I was hoping for a link. And some point at which you found an error. Tell you what... when you boot the usb stick what do you see? [09:54] jeancalvin: 1 [09:55] oOarthurOo i put a link up right after it: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/10/15/ubuntu-810-persistent-flash-drive-install-from-live-cd/ [09:55] oskar-: what column are you looking at to find ports? [09:55] oOarthurOo nothing it refuses to boot [09:55] Rainarrow: you can't, use find . -type d in that case [09:55] so you see a black screen... absolutely nothing? theCzar [09:55] jeancalvin, yes... [09:56] jeancalvin: the column "local address". 1 is not a good choice. choose some port > 1023, that does not show up after the ':' in the local address column [09:56] oOarthurOo just goes to the hard-drive, and ignores the USB, I changed the CMOS prefs, to be USB first and even removed all other options, and yes it just said failed to boot [09:56] oskar-: thanks [09:56] nomoa, ok.. just wonder why ls doesn't have this handy function, but thanks anyway [09:56] theCzar: So you're trying to create a linux install from the usb... not trying to install from a usb, is that correct? [09:56] oOarthurOo yes [09:56] nomoa, and regarding to that find command, how to prevent it from being recursive? [09:56] mmm strange, ive got two systems and they refuse to upgrade to openoffice 3 [09:57] even though i've added those repositories [09:57] (the custom ppa ones) [09:57] oskar- : have a look at my screenshot - http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2ia7o11&s=4 [09:57] oOarthurOo i had no trouble with the walkthrough either, it all went smoothly [09:57] or one rather, there's only one :) [09:57] With the top menubar, how do I make my own custom 'menu-list'? Currently there are 3, Applications | Places | System, I would like to add a fourth one, how do I add a fourth one?

Go into your bios and disable your hard-drive entirely. Make it so that the only bootable option is usb. If that is not possible, make it so that you must choose the booting device, that at least can be donein all bios's. Choose usb. I suspect it will fail and just confirm your problems, but the fact that you're boot defaults to a hard-drive at least leaves open the possibility that you've not configured [09:59] what is the pascal compiler for ubuntu?

[10:01] oOarthurOo thanks for your help so far BTW [10:01] can someone pls tell me what is the compiler for pascal in ubuntu?? [10:02] pogztimz I believe gcc has a pascal option, but I'm not %100 certain of that [10:02] pogztimz: gpc [10:02] o.O [10:02] jeancalvin: choose a port > 1023. if this is for port forwarding, also make sure, that no firewall an the target computer is blocking the port there [10:02] i think they got removed [10:02] bcoz i cant gcc pascal files.. it says Pascal compiler not isntalled [10:03] http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu/dists/ seems empty [10:03] pogztimz gcc is not a pascal compiler [10:03] except for just the release files [10:03] oskar-: i have no firewall on my comp [10:03] Cwe_gila_tapi_baik [10:03] slt [10:03] prymal: I believe there is a gcc pascal binary though, not sure of it's name [10:03] sælir [10:03] pogztimz: gpc = GNU Pascal Compiler. If it's not already on there you can get the package [10:04] theCzar perfect [10:04] jeancalvin: you can try a sniffer to watch, what packets arrive at the computer: sudo tcpdump -n -i eth0 'port 1099' [10:04] dude.. ur the man.. :-) ty very much [10:04] pogztimz, ikonia: no worries.

[10:06] can i make ubuntu continue to automatically install security patches but never tell me about other updates, i will do them when i want/need them [10:06] oskar-: so far... "tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes" [10:06] jeancalvin, you don't, but your router is your firewall. Yes, you are running behind a firewall. Iif you enable DMZ host for your computer, then you don't need to forward any ports for transmission. Because your computer is outside the firewall. [10:07] lagann_: if ports are not needed for transmission, then what numbers do i put in in transmission's blanks? [10:07] I want to turn off the "preview icons" on the desktop... how do I go about this.. they update while I'm downloading stuff and its annoying [10:07] ikonia, how can i make it split after a : ? [10:07] how can i change the boot resolution? [10:07] ikonia, it doesn't seem to like cut --delimiter=: [10:08] jeancalvin: that sounds good. it listens and will print a line for each packet matching the expression in the '' (here packets with port 1099 anywhere). with that and some variantions you should be able to experiment and maybe get it working. i have no time left, sorry... bye [10:08] hischild -d: [10:08] hischild: or -d : [10:08] hischild iti s -d: [10:08] is there a way to change the boot resolution?

Still the same error. [10:10] oOarthurOo: what would the 791 stand for?

[10:13] would startup-manager work in Intrepid? [10:13] gnomefreak@Development:~$ show startupmanager one word in show but link has a - in it [10:14] hey can somebody help me (unable to play .dat files on my sys) [10:14] zetheroo: ok... next time as you are booting, point at the kernel you want to boot, and press 'e', you should then get to edit the line. But it is for this one boot only. So if you mess up, no problems. Just reboot and all is well. Try pressing 'e' then go to the end of the line and adding 'vga=791' without the ' ' marks. If it works, and it should, we can make it permament. If not, I'll ask you more questions to find the right [10:14] hischild yup, but you need to tell it to do that [10:14] zetheroo: no would need to be built for intrepid [10:14] zetheroo vga=ask [10:14] test [10:14] ikonia, yeah, im getting the hang of it :-) trying to integrate current music status on my background [10:14] candykiller see PM for instructions [10:14] hischild good man [10:14] ikonia, tnx .. mind if i ask for your help should i get stuck? [10:14] jeancalvin, you do need to specify a port for the transmission, but you don't need to do any portforwarding once you enable the dmz host for your computer [10:14] hischild no problem [10:15] erUSUL, thanks for you as well [10:15] hey can somebody help me, unable to play .dat files on my system [10:15] hi, guys, i got transmission to connect with an open port. You know how I did it? I connected the internet directly to my computer and bypassed the router! [10:15] thats not a bad idea ;) zetheroo ill see if i can get it built for intrepid sometime today [10:15] gnomefreak: that would be great [10:15] email first [10:15] :) [10:15] email? [10:16] so has anyone tried updating to openofice 3 using http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu/dists/ ? it worked for me the other day on a box [10:16] and now it does not :( [10:16] is there anyone else using the nvidia 180.06 drivers here ? [10:16] can somebody help me please unable to play .dat files [10:16] pls answer [10:16] theCzar: sent you a msg [10:16] transporter dat files are normally data what are you trying to open them in [10:16] transporter: most people do not know what .dat file is i guess [10:17] transporter: what does « file *.dat » returns ? [10:17] oOarthurOo: does 791 mean a certain resolution? [10:17] transporter, be more specific... dat means data ... many many files use the dat extension [10:17] lets make it more general guys ikonia and erUSUL i am talking about vcd files [10:17] that's because .dat files are different depending on what app they belong to [10:17] oh what should i do in this case [10:17] zetheroo vga=ask [10:17] theCzar: Ok... so then something went wrong with the steps to make your usb bootable. Let me takea look at the instructions for when you make your usb bootable. I assume you are in ubuntu now and can mount / read your usb drive? [10:17] transporter then they are not .dat files [10:17] i downloaded every single player available [10:17] ikonia: I dunno what your trying to tell me ... ha [10:18] extn is .dat [10:18] i [10:18] transporter: what app are you trying to open them with? [10:18] zetheroo: something like 1024x780.... [10:18] zetheroo: use the option vga=ask [10:18] transcendo: open them in vlc [10:18] transporter, try the VLC player. [10:18] transporter: ^ [10:18] i tried totem, mplayer, vlc everything [10:18] zetheroo: at a certain number of bits... maybe 24 [10:18] this might not be the best place to ask, but is it even possible that Intrepid will ever adopt OpenOffice 3.0? [10:18] it comes as seek failed [10:18] ikonia: and what will that do? ... should I do it in the terminal? [10:18] transporter: 1.) they are not .dat files then 2.) what are they encoded with [10:18] zetheroo: no it's a kernel boot option [10:18] er, using vim, is there a way to cut x number of lines and append them to a specified file? [10:18] in vlc and in totem it freezes [10:19] oOarthurOo: I have a high resolution screen ... 1680 by something [10:19] they are .dat files to begin with ikonia [10:19] ndlovu: c7c will cut 7 lines for example [10:19] transporter: run "file" against once [10:19] ikonia, would c7c >> file.txt append them to file.txt? [10:19] gaelfx theres a good chance it will be backported when 9.04 comes anyway... [10:19] zetheroo: vga=791 works nicely for ever monitor built after 2004. And it's the highest resolution possible. So you're totally awesome 1680 isn't supported. 1074 is the best you'll get. Or whateevr 791 means. [10:19] hi guys i have an issue with my Nvidia Card ...... [10:19] any idea which software will help me design my college event posters [10:19] ikonia, huh i did not understand [10:19] ndlovu no, vim can only edit the text file your in [10:20] transporter: run the command "file" against one of the dat files [10:20] koshari: amazing that you saw that in all this mess, thanks for the reply :D [10:20] ikonia what the diff between vga=ask and 791? [10:20] zetheroo: can you seriously not see that ? [10:20] DarkKnight scribus [10:20] DarkKnight: try GIMP [10:20] transporter, do this for one of your video files --> file [10:20] gah.. i think the openoffice 3 files were removed from http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ [10:20] zetheroo: one sets a resolution, the other asks you to set a resolution of your choice [10:20] ikonia can i meet u in private chat? [10:20] transporter: don't need to [10:20] transporter: people are helping you in the channel [10:20] oh no maybe not hmm [10:21] k [10:21] ikonia: so can I then manually enter my resolution? [10:21] zetheroo: it will give you options [10:21] Kalidarn theres some pretty ordinary packages on ppa! [10:21] put the disc in the drive then run the command [10:21] koshari, im trying to work out why two of my boxes refuse ot update [10:21] transporter: run the command "file" against one of the .dat files [10:21] ikonia: ic.... so i just add it to the boot line [10:21] ikonia k gimme a min [10:21] to openoffice 3 even though ive added the repositories [10:21] im geting "input not supported " after i login [10:22] in 8.10 [10:22] ikonia: ok i'll give that a shot ... [10:22] transporter, open a terminal and go to the folder where you have the files that have a .dat extension. Then run file without the <> [10:22] Kalidarn if you have a few packages from outside the main repos it could be a dependency issue. [10:22] zetheroo: vga=ask will ask you what resolution and show you all options. vga=791 will just do that one. Do either. Or do ask. It doesn't matter. [10:22] with nvidi 7025 [10:22] Hi, if I let my ubuntu "alone" for half an hour, the screen became blank (ok, this is desired, screen saver 'blank' is set), but I can not unlock the screen anymore, it stays blank forever. If i choose lock-screen from the menu, the screen is blank but when I press a key it shows me the unlock screen and it works. what can I do? how to search in bugs for this behaviour? [10:22] test [10:22] oOarthurOo: ok.... brb [10:22] yeah i suspect it might be koshari but.. yeah im not sure how to fix it ;( sigh... im used to rolling release distributions [10:23] Muthu_ its likely that that you may need to change your monitor to default. [10:23] theCzar: you still there? [10:23] where to change koshari [10:23] Kalidarn: maybe you could pastebin what happens when you try to "sudo apt-get update" [10:24] ikonia file avseq01.dat [10:24] avseq01.dat: ERROR: cannot open `avseq01.dat' (No such file or directory) [10:24] i have 18.5 inch moniter [10:24] i get the following kernel error after a while [10:24] http://rafb.net/p/eF8Ue322.html [10:24] hischild file avseq01.dat [10:24] avseq01.dat: ERROR: cannot open `avseq01.dat' (No such file or directory) [10:24] gaelfx, it updates fine [10:24] no errors, likewise when i do dist-upgrade [10:24] or check [10:24] transporter, you are not in the correct folder or you do not have the correct permissions. No need to double paste it with my name, i'm reading along with ikonia (if that's ok with him) [10:25] hi all, what package is recommended for unzipping zip files from the command line? [10:25] oh, I see, sorry, you're just talking about openoffice [10:25] ok no problem hischild [10:25] Rob123, unzip? [10:25] use the tool unzip :P [10:25] oh ok :) [10:25] how do I do to see all server that are up? [10:25] better... all services [10:25] I tried that onl a fresh server install and command wasn't there, I'll install it, thankspeeps! [10:26] transporter, if you type ls, can you see the file? [10:26] yar gaelfx its just openoffice, that won't upgrade to the packages in the ppa repository, it seems to want to stay with the cannical ones [10:26] hischild what should i type in [10:26] ls | grep dat [10:26] Muthu i had the prob in 8.04 and installed a gnome settings proggie and selected default monitor so it would unlock some other modes, i think its a prob with nvidia not correctly reading edid messages from the screen, it happened to me cos i had an early lcd monitor, [10:26] transporter, ^ [10:27] hischild shall i just copy paste it??? [10:27] or any modifications [10:27] transporter, copy paste. Tell me if it gives you any output on that. [10:27] Kalidarn: and I assume you've gone through all the stuff in Software Sources? [10:27] what do you mean [10:28] Kalidarn: like adding the GPG key and making sure that the pps repos are checked and all that [10:28] hischild it doesn't do anything [10:28] ah yeah [10:28] *ppa [10:28] ppa doesnt use gpg sigs [10:28] afaik [10:28] oh, ok [10:28] https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive [10:28] transporter, then you're not in the correct folder. Please go to the correct folder where your .dat files reside and type the file command again. [10:28] none mentioned there anyways someone mentioned it in the bug and thats what they said https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/267376 [10:29] ikonia, Could you perhaps help me getting some line breaks out of a string? [10:29] hischild pls show me an eg at least [10:29] im so srry im new to the cmd thing [10:29] transporter, do you know how to switch folders? [10:29] no [10:29] cant run or find how to run freej (Vision Mixer) [10:29] transporter, what is it you're trying to watch? a dvd? vcd? [10:30] vcd [10:30] sqk: where the problem?

[10:31] dvd [10:31] hischild its pretty strange that my system plays my dvds and not my vcds [10:32] transporter, alright. Open up nautilus (file browser) and go to your CD/DVD drive. It should present you with a bunch of files. Can you find your .dat files there? [10:32] hi all [10:32] k [10:32] what this line mean?

Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [10:35] Kalidarn: did you have to add the ppa thing to repos, or no? [10:35] i added it to sources.list [10:35] SpunkMeYeR, it specifically tells you nav is broken on line 17.

[10:36] can someone help me? [10:36] transporter, just open up the file browser, go to your CD/DVD drive and find your .dat files. Can you do that? [10:36] can i ask a question about gtk themes?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:36] , it means i cannot install that app?? [10:36] SpunkMeYeR, you can but highly unrecommended. [10:36] dekkong_: I just recently got an Asus Eeepc. It's not a bad little unit. [10:36] hischild, don't be a tard, it was an after thought.

[10:38] i wonder if im muted.... lol [10:38] Up until a few short weeks ago, it was running plain-ole Ubuntu with some Eee tweaks and hacks. It even did Compiz like a champ. [10:38] adantan_alex, you're not muted. [10:38] comradekingu: because i want a good lapton and i'm kinda broke atm :) [10:39] hischild that's strange it says dat document [10:39] um [10:39] look at ur local computer shop [10:39] now i got a problem with my wireless card [10:39] it is detected but it wont connect to any net work [10:40] transporter, what you can try is use VLC to play the video. I know it has out of the box VCD support with pretty much all codecs baked in. However, it's odd that it doesn't say it's a video file, yet that explains probably why it won' tplay. [10:40] hischild what do i do about it [10:40] i know its a vcd file [10:40] why doesnt my wireless card find any net work? [10:40] i have played in a number of times on vista and xp [10:40] transporter, install VLC and use that to play it. Are you trying to play the file itself or the entire vcd? [10:41] the entire vcd [10:41] i have vlc [10:41] no luck with that too [10:41] who here knows about wireless card? [10:41] comradekingu: are u still here? :) [10:41] transporter, how are you trying to open the file?

Fire up vlc via the applications menu. [10:42] k [10:42] then what??? [10:43] hello [10:43] transporter, go to media, then open disc. Select vcd in the menu on top and chooce your DVD/CD drive [10:43] my wireless card wont detect any net work [10:43] was wondering if i can get firefox with kubuntu? [10:43] should do [10:43] transporter, alternatively instead of choocing your DVD/CD drive you can select browse and go to the root folder of your DVD/CD. [10:43] transporter, click play and it should go. [10:44] can someone plz help me? [10:44] any thoughts? [10:44] something is moving but nothing is happening [10:44] andrew__, yes you can. just install via synaptic. [10:44] i mean the disc is moving but nothing other than that [10:44] transporter, "something" [10:45] oh [10:45] not included? [10:45] listen there is no such thing as media on the menu [10:45] transporter, where did you get VLC from? the repo's? [10:45] yes [10:45] How can I check which wireless driver I'm using, so I can configure kismet? [10:45] I'm trying to install python-qt4 on intrepid, but I get a serious error when I try to run my script: ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyQt4/QtGui.so: undefined symbol: _ZTI19QStyledItemDelegate [10:45] Any ideas what's wrong? [10:45] ok never mind [10:46] transporter, and you're running 8.04 or 8.10? [10:46] use genric [10:46] hardy [10:46] transporter, you did find the open disc option? [10:46] how can i turn on XDMCP sharing via terminal? [10:46] yes [10:46] i checked the vcd option [10:47] transporter, and you found your disc? [10:47] no how do i do that??? [10:47] VLC doing great with ubuntu studio [10:47] How do I add another menu next to Applications | Places | System [10:47] should i type in the address or something [10:47] how do i do that???? [10:48] transporter, you see that button browse? [10:48] is there any way i can get the gnome-panel to scale the background image instead of tiling it? [10:48] transporter: have you tried with "mplayer vcd://file.dat" ? [10:48] there is no browse button [10:48] erUSUL, it's a vcd ... unfortunately vlc doesn't do it that easily with just the file. [10:48] i will check that too erUSUL [10:51] i tried to play the method that u told me erUSUL it did something really weird and different this time [10:52] it just played the stupid gnomescreensaver and shut off [10:52] stating that the file had ended [10:52] try Super Ubuntu liveCD [10:52] dist-upgrade from hardy to ibex totally messed up my x. what's the easisest option to get a sane default? Using an nvidia card with compiz etc. [10:53] Panarchy: I already told you. Hack at the source or give up. [10:53] hischild erUSUL???? where are u guys????? === Bracki_ is now known as Bracki [10:54] any idea which software will help me design my college event posters [10:54] DarkKnight: use GIMP, it's very photoshop-esque [10:54] DarkKnight: SCcribus [10:54] i need to go some other time guys [10:54] transporter: sorry but i out of ideas... except maybe "mplayer vcd://1/file.dat" (the 1 tells to play the first "chapter") [10:54] DarkKnight: Scribus* just one 'c' [10:54] Bracki: you need to install the new drivers the names changed in intrepid. [10:55] !find nvidia intrepid [10:55] Found: nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidia-177-modaliases, nvidia-71-modaliases, nvidia-common, nvidia-173-kernel-source (and 16 others) [10:55] Bracki: see packages above [10:55] has openoffice 3 for intrepid been deleted on the ppa? [10:55] is there any way i can get the gnome-panel to scale the background image instead of tiling it? [10:56] Bracki: should be a good starting point, you can also run apt-cache search nvidia [10:56] hi there [10:56] Anyone know how to submit a bug-report to the Ubuntu team ? [10:56] anyone got a clue how to patch trough a VOIP server on a switch firewall? [10:56] balrog: Easiest is to simply use gimp to scale the image to the size you want then save it and tell gnome-panel to use the scaled image. Just make it the exact dimensions of the panel. [10:56] * gnomefreak off to work on startup..... [10:57] i have a vps that i lease from another company. they put centos on it and i want to change to ubuntu. where do i even start? all the howtos seem to think i have access to the host os... [10:57] ah sodoku [10:57] im having the same problem on two systems here [10:57] Kalidarn: it seems, that there are only jaunty packages left [10:58] sodoku, yeah same i noticed that too [10:58] maybe baecause of the problems in openoffice3? [10:58] sodoku: should still be there. the jaunty PPA works fine so intrepid should as well [10:58] gnomefreak: no, the intrepid packages are not there anymore [10:58] sodoku: go to the PPA LP page and look, im off [10:58] aooh ok === Icer24 is now known as Tryfon [10:59] how i perform downgrade in ubuntu server?? [10:59] anybody knows? [11:00] now i'm using ubuntu server 8.04 [11:00] by default the python version is 2.5 [11:00] i need to change the python version to 2.4 [11:00] hi guys any channel that specifies in process schedueling? or any one here? [11:00] how i can perform this? [11:01] SpunkMeYeR, i wouldn't recommend that, it might break parts of the system which use a newer python version [11:01] SpunkMeYeR: have you tried update-alternatives? === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [11:01] Kalidarn: those parts are broken already if they're not specifying the version explicitly. [11:02] ah [11:02] so Kalidarn, could you tell me what ubuntu server still using python 2.4? [11:02] im not sure :) [11:02] Which jabber client was capable of displaying latex in regular chat messages? [11:02] sorry never used ubuntu-server, (only debian/gentoo/arch) [11:02] SpunkMeYeR: is anything preventing you from using python2.4 directly, instead of through the default? [11:02] , thanks [11:02] deniss, both pidgin and kopete [11:02] dennda, both pidgin and kopete rather [11:03] Kalidarn: ok thanks [11:03] SpunkMeYeR: they can both be installed at the same time, and the 2.4 binary will be called python2.4 [11:03] SpunkMeYeR: if possible, you should use that directly instead. [11:03] , oh... [11:03] yes that's a good idea [11:03] oOarthurOo: Can you please direct me to a guide on how to do that? [11:03] thanks again [11:03] trying to setup a Read/Write share usign Samba .. bu tonly seem to be ale to read the folders wiht my clients.. [11:03] Also, what compiler should I use, and what language is GNOME written in? [11:03] Panarchy: Gnome is mostly C and C++ I guess. [11:04] And then how do I re-encorporate it back into Ubuntu? [11:04] Kalidarn: How do I enable that in Pidgin? [11:04] Panarchy: what are you going to write? [11:04] DO any of you guys know an online guide, that gives the specifics onhow to do this? [11:04] its a third party plugin dennda [11:04] Chousuke [11:04] How do I add another menu next to Applications | Places | System [11:04] dennda, http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin-latex [11:04] Panarchy: ah, hmm. I don't know :/ [11:04] Kalidarn: thanks [11:05] Panarchy: the menubar is configurable, but I don't know how to add a top-level menu. [11:05] I was told by oOarthurOo> [11:05] why does ubuntu use uuids in /etc/fstab ? instead of the device names like /dev/sda.... [11:05] that I needed to edit the GNOME source files [11:05] dennda, there's also http://code.google.com/p/pidgintex/ [11:05] that might be. [11:05] seems to be a newer fork [11:05] Panarchy: it's no trivial thing to edit the source though. [11:06] dennda, i'd recommend using that second one [11:06] , about the update-alternatives how can i do that?? [11:06] i already install python2.4 [11:06] Kalidarn: Is that available in ubuntu repos? It needs to work on windows as well [11:06] but it seems, not working [11:06] so i need to remove python2.5 [11:07] Chousuke, I hope that in doing so I will learn a lot [11:07] dennda, there's a dll there for windows yes [11:07] SpunkMeYeR: not working? [11:07] but first I need to find the sourcecode, lol [11:07] and there's a .so file there built in debian by the looks of it [11:07] SpunkMeYeR: don't remove python2.5! [11:07] dennda, http://code.google.com/p/pidgintex/wiki/WindowsInstallation [11:07] SpamapS3: sudo update-alternative --config python === maximus is now known as Guest63024 [11:08] SpamapS3: update-alternatives even [11:08] SourceCode: http://svn.gnome.org/ [11:08] , sudo update-alternative --config python its not working [11:08] Kalidarn: It's not in the repos I suppose? [11:09] hi guys, is there a way to make an ubuntu dial in server with a usb modem ? [11:09] Chousuke: Is this the source code I am looking for: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-panel/trunk/gnome-panel/ [11:09] ? [11:10] dennda, doesn't look to be [11:10] flash 10 doesn't need libflashsupport anymore, right? [11:10] Eghie [11:10] type in [11:10] sudo apt-get autoremove [11:10] Panarchy, no, need to install a package which is kind of depending on it [11:10] Kalidarn: thanks [11:11] but in intrepid libflashsupport is not included anymore [11:11] Eghie: Have you installed it yet? [11:11] no not yet [11:11] well install it [11:11] the run [11:11] sudo apt-get autoremove [11:11] that will remove any unneeded things [11:11] guys is there a way to make an ubuntu dial-in server by using a usb modem ? [11:11] libflashsupport is not installable under intrepid [11:12] would be ok, if it is not needed anymore [11:12] yo yo yo [11:12] I asked it to be sure, though [11:12] dear lord ;x can someone tell me what type of service is VOIP connection ? :x [11:13] SIP [11:13] so i can let it trough my firewall ;x [11:13] havent got sip :( [11:13] twins: it is Voice Over IP, it allows you to chat to people through the internet [11:13] twins: where are you seeing this? [11:13] netgear pro safe setting panel [11:13] Panarchy, does flash 10 have internal support for PulseAudio? [11:14] twins: netgear isn't really supported here :) [11:14] what shall i get then ;>? [11:14] Eghie: are you having sound issues with flash? [11:14] Eghie: No idea! [11:14] Eghie: id imagine so [11:14] guys is there a way to make an ubuntu dial-in server by using a usb modem ? [11:14] no, did have in flash 9 in thin client environment when using pulseaudio [11:14] Kalidarn: Can I just download that .so file and put it $somewhere? [11:14] that was libflashsupport for [11:14] !pppoe | abe3k [11:14] ziroday netgears are supporting my whole network , id be pleasent if they could let my inbound calls ;x [11:14] abe3k: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [11:15] now I do not have any problems [11:15] one two three /clear [11:15] without leaveing a big hole in my firewall [11:15] but need to know why libflashsupport is not included in intrepid [11:15] Eghie: in hardy you need libflashsupport if you are having issues with pulseaudio and flash [11:15] Eghie, have you install Flash 10 yet? [11:15] SpunkMeYeR: it was update-alternatives [11:15] ActionParsnip : I'm doing a ppp server [11:15] Panarchy, not yet [11:15] !pppd [11:15] Dial-in server [11:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about pppd [11:16] but all that I see is information for comport modems [11:16] Eghie: in intrepid that need was replaced, it should "just work" however there is still a package called flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound which does similar things to libflashsupport [11:16] Panarchy, building a deb package which uses flash and pulseaudio, and managing it's dependencies [11:16] abe3k: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-150339.html [11:16] abe3k: you could symlink the com port to the usb [11:16] saw that but it only has information about serial modems [11:17] how can I do that ? :) [11:17] abe3k: id imagine you can use us normally just replace all the stuff that points the serial to usb instead [11:17] like this sudo ln -sf /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS0 ? [11:18] Kalidarn: works [11:18] !netsplit [11:18] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [11:18] abe3k: try it, you can always remove the link if its no good. You can try anything in ubuntu as long as you make a way for you to roll back === dan_ is now known as Ademan_desktop [11:19] yay netsplit [11:19] does anyone know a howto on setting up a gateway firewall on ubuntu? not a firewall for the machine itself, but one to manage access to a small office network? [11:19] actionparsnip : I think that sudo ln -sf /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS0 is only per session , or am I wrong ? [11:19] abe3k: if you are creating files / links, make sure the file yuo are creating doesnt already exist etc [11:19] aha ok [11:20] pvh_sa|wrk: well you would have to have all the machines connect the the gateway firewall machine and then install a firewall on that machine. Configuring it would be that same as configuring any other firewall [11:20] not sure, abe3k. you'll have to have a play. I believe you wll be able to do it without the link though, you want a RAS server essentially [11:20] !ras [11:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about ras [11:20] actionparsnip : I'll tell you what I'm planning todo [11:21] ziroday, uhm, what? i've got a pre-existing setup. previous firewall was based on freebsd / ipfw - which i know well. i don't know iptables as well, thus the looking-for-a-howto [11:21] actionparsnip: maybe you'll have a better solution for me :) [11:21] pvh_sa|wrk: on how to setup a firewall? [11:21] abe3k: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Modem-Dialup-NT-HOWTO.html#s5 [11:21] ziroday, yes, mostly the "howtos" out there are about how to firewall an individual machine... [11:21] actionparsnip : I have an apache server on one machine and I want to access that server from another. [11:22] abe3k: ive never set this up as I use broadband technologies [11:22] hello, i configured the remote desktop on my ubuntu with password, but when a try to connect, the remote desktop viewer connect directly, without password [11:22] pvh_sa|wrk: right....and you would have to do the same. Except on a gateway machine [11:22] pvh_sa|wrk, maybe the ppl in #networking know more about your issue [11:22] thanks Pelo [11:22] abe3k: then setup port forwarding and you can connect to your routers WAN ip and connect to the server on the LAN [11:22] o rly? [11:22] actionparsnip : my problem is that I'm using a gsm connection to the internet [11:22] pvh_sa|wrk: unless I am missing something? [11:22] abe3k: if that is your goal you dont need ras [11:23] hi eimh [11:23] abe3k: once you have a web connection you can connect like you do any other site / server [11:23] Does Jabber support images inside messages? [11:23] ziroday, yes, you are. setting up a gateway firewall is very different from an individual machine firewall [11:23] actionparsnip : and my public ip <> my machine ip [11:23] hello fogobogo, did you get the latest compiz update? [11:23] oh. dennda . long tim no see [11:23] dennda: please join ##jabber [11:23] eimh: no! how do i do dis?! [11:24] pvh_sa|wrk: individual computers -> gateway machine (with firewall) -> internet. No? [11:24] I have an old machine, I ripped the motherboard, cpu, ram and graphics card out, and put in new ones. The Ubuntu 8.04 on my original disk works PERFECTLY in this new setup - not a single hitch [11:24] fogobogo: I'm sorry, do I know you? :-) [11:24] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the pointer [11:24] abe3k: yeah, port forward and set the system running the service to static ip and you can connect from anywhere [11:24] reqqit, welcome to linux [11:24] fogobogo: pretty easy indeed, I just typed rm -rf --no-preserve-root / on gnome-terminal and my computer was like matrix [11:24] awesome! [11:24] actionparsnip : I don't have anyway of port forwarding on the gsm network , or can I ? [11:24] eimh: ok. let me t- [11:24] reqqit: thats because you still have all the fluff from the stock install so a lot of the hardware will work [11:25] abe3k: the forwarding isnt on the gsm, its done on your hoe router [11:25] home* [11:25] how do i find out the size of a folder and all it's children files and folders ? [11:25] actionparsnip : the router is owned by the carrier not me [11:25] However, I tried the 8.10 live CD, and whereas before it worked, on my current, new setup (HD monitor, intel chipset, nvidia graphics card) the monitor is 'fuzzy' and waving... like the horizontal refresh is off [11:25] abe3k: so the server running the service is not connected to a home broadband line, but soe gsm connection? [11:26] actionparsnip : right [11:26] babo: man du [11:26] anyone using weechat? [11:26] Yeah, I was impressed it worked - just the live CD for 8.10 has a problem, perhaps because of my HD monitor? What could cause the fuzzy waviness that makes the screen unreadable on the live CD ? I could do a live update or stick to 8.04 for now [11:26] abe3k: yikes, thats gonna be nasty slow [11:26] actionparsnip : its a 3g connection [11:26] reqqit, you might need to adjust the horiz-sync setting in your xorg.conf file to match that of your monitor ( check the lable on the back) [11:26] why there is no compiz cube bottom image setting anymore????? [11:26] actionparsnip : 7mbps :P [11:26] abe3k: then simply connect to its ip address and it should run ok. Im guessing you get a wan ip via dhcp from your carrier [11:27] This machine originally had feisty installed, or was it gusty? around 3 years ago, and has upgraded to 8.04 since then at every point [11:27] abe3k: no upload ;) [11:27] *not [11:27] hi guys [11:27] Pelo, can I do that on the LIVE CD? [11:27] do I need to add a boot option when launching? [11:27] actionparsnip : yeah I think theres somekind of a wan there [11:27] abe3k: if you are transferring off your system the upload speed is what matters [11:27] abe3k: then simply connect to its ip [11:27] eimh, dont suggest that command here [11:27] actionparsnip : I'm only uploading 6kbps so its not that slow [11:27] eimh: you are a naughy boy! [11:28] fogobogo, stay on topic please [11:28] abe3k: exactly, so your 7mbps quote is moot [11:28] bazhang: I've tried and it worked [11:28] reqqit, you could but it's messy, boot the recovery mode instead, drop in to root mode, the file you want is /etc/X11/xorg.conf , that'S X eleven, not X LL , and note the capitals. linux is case sensitive [11:28] abe3k: transfers TO the server will go nicely but i imagine your upload system uploads like a dog too === prymal is now known as PryMaL === PryMaL is now known as PryMaL_ [11:28] actionparsnip: i'll be streaming a 6kbps video stream over gsm, but the only problem I'm facing is the public ip address >< === PryMaL_ is now known as prymal_ [11:29] abe3k: then run ifconfig on the system and it will tell you the ip [11:29] why there is no compiz cube bottom image setting anymore????? === prymal_ is now known as PryMaL [11:29] Pelo, I've edited my xconf plenty of times in the good old SuSE 6.0 days, I am not entirely new to this - but just to ubuntu recovery modes - it isn't my fault ubuntu keeps working without any problems... if it would just break once in a while I'd learn something. [11:29] actionparsnip : I know my public and my local ips but I don't know how todo the forwarding to my local [11:29] PriceChild: finally settled with the nick? === PryMaL is now known as prymal [11:30] Perhaps an idea to add to launchpad? random crashes to improve the learning of users? We could call it 'windows'. [11:30] I'm using deskbar + beagle live and I'm having some issues, while I'm typing a text the beagled crashed and I need to start it manually. Using beagle-search I don't have this problem. (ubuntu hardy) === prymal is now known as PryMaL [11:30] reqqit, I knwo what you mean ;-) [11:30] fogobogo: who are you talking to pricechild isn't active [11:30] abe3k: if you dont have a router you dont have to worry about it, if you do then your'll have to read the manual and configure it [11:30] reqqit, you can edit the xorg file from the live cd if you want, just make sure you edit tthe one on the actualy hdd and not the one from the live cd session [11:31] how can i view my computer properties [11:31] actionparsnip : I'm using a mobile phone module [11:31] davy: such as ? [11:31] Pelo, erm, the one on the HDD works fine. The one on the live cd session doesn't work [11:31] abe3k: then that's just a modem, not a route [11:31] r [11:31] actionparsnip : yup [11:31] my ram,cpu [11:31] if that makes sense. I can boot and all is ok, but if I put the 8.10 CD for live install, it doesn't work. 8.04 works, I can boot, old system is 100%, but live CD b0rks at my l33t monitor [11:32] davy: take a look at the program called hardinfo, it displays it all very neatly for you [11:32] abe3k: then you are ready to go [11:32] reqqit, ah, well , the edit won't last throught a reboot unfortunately, and I don'T know if you can just restart X on the live cd, you can try giving it a try [11:32] davy: /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/meminfo [11:32] so, edit the one on the live session CD? or run it in text mode or alternative mode? [11:32] hm [11:32] davy: well yuou can see your ram with "free" and your cpu with "cat /proc/cpuinfo" [11:32] abe3k: you should have a wan ip, which you can connect to directly === chaky_ is now known as chaky [11:32] anyone had issues with input not responding in some apps with 8.10? [11:32] actionparsnip : that is if I connect from the same wan [11:32] actionparsnip : but I want to connect from anywhere [11:33] reqqit, you do know you can use the alt cd to do an upgrade right ? won'T need to reinstall the whole thing [11:33] davy, go to system > administration > System Monitor [11:33] Pelo, yeah, I'll try alt [11:33] ok thanks Pelo , ~Pelo++ [11:33] actionparsnip : or connect from a different carrier [11:33] abe3k: if its a wan ip, you can already [11:33] abe3k: oic [11:34] then i have no idea, i figurd youd get a universal wan ip, not just carrier specific [11:34] actionparsnip : if my server is on carrier A I can't access it from carrier B [11:34] thanx [11:34] actionparsnip : I only can access it if I connect bot server and host on the same carrier [11:34] both [11:34] later [11:34] abe3k: gotcha [11:34] anyone able to see what i write? [11:35] Rob-: yup [11:35] ok just making sure [11:35] actionparsnip : thats why I came up with the dial in server [11:35] i read about people having issues with keyboard input having issues in 8.04 in like IDLE but i've had it happen in 8.10 with IDLE and netbeans, strange. [11:36] abe3k: with like a phone number. hmm, you could run a dialin vpn [11:36] actionparsnip : yeah :) [11:37] actionparsnip : i'll try this linking procedure and see what happens :) [11:37] abe3k: id have a look into that, ive never setup such a thing but its weird how you cant connect to the system if on a different carrier [11:37] i upgraded my clone computer to 8.10 over the internet.after restart,keyboard and mouse not working at all. [11:37] actionparsnip : ok I'll give you an example [11:38] actionparsnip : server (pub ip : 81.12.12.123, wan ip:10.0.1.1) [11:38] hey all [11:39] actionparsnip : if I connect to the same carrier I will access 10.0.1.1 without any problems. but if I connect from another carrier I cannot access my server from the ip 81.12.12.123 [11:39] abe3k: i can get a connection established to 81.12.12.123 [11:40] abe3k: but no welcome message [11:40] davy, open a terminal, type: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, and restart your computer. [11:40] actionparsnip : thats only an example [11:40] The Hal and X need to be restarted. [11:40] abe3k: gotcha [11:40] I have ubuntu installed on my acer aspire laptop and while most stuff is working fine (I'm really impressed with the wireless support!) the 3d acceleration seems to have some issues: when I run a game (like gltron or anything really) I get artifacts quite rapidly (in the case of gltron it doesn't draw anything besides a background). What could be the cause of this? [11:41] lagann thanx,but how do i login,the keyboard is not responding at all [11:41] hello [11:41] actionparsnip : I cannot acces my 80 port on the server from the public ip 81.12.12.123 [11:41] Q-collective: what gfx card do you ave? [11:41] Q-collective: what graphics card and do you have the drivers installed for it? [11:41] davy, choose the recovery mode [11:41] abe3k: you may need a dialin vpn. have a browse round or maybe someone can chime in with help [11:42] I have intel hardware and as intel is fully opensource I kinda assumed Ubuntu had autosupport [11:42] actionparsnip : yeah thanks for the tip :) [11:42] i'm having problems installing openoffice.org 3 on ubuntu.i activated the third party source for it through ubuntu tweak and I can't persuade ooo3 to install. help? :) [11:42] forget about opening a terminal part [11:42] I'm sorry about [11:42] Q-collective: that is correct.

[11:43] ActionParsnip: kinda the only option for laptops ;) [11:43] Q-collective: okay thats a reasonably well supported card. Can you run compiz fine? [11:43] yes, it runs very fine [11:44] Q-collective: geforce go? [11:44] Q-collective: most odd, I am not sure. Sorry [11:44] ok, thanks anyway [11:44] ActionParsnip, yes i am aware of that option - but these packages are supposedly tailored for ubuntu. https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive is supposedly the source url for the third-party source [11:44] Good morning everybody. [11:45] good morning horus! [11:45] Can someone answer me a simple question ? (I apologise if its dumb or answered somewhere) [11:45] someone, maybe. :) [11:45] :P === ubuntu is now known as soulburst [11:45] aprilhare: that is the correct repo for OOO3, what is not working? [11:46] Well,I tried installing the Ubuntu Server (Latest 8.10) on a Virtual Ambient (VMWare) since I wanted to try and host my own stuff in a decent OS [11:46] ziroday, synaptic seems to only be aware of 2.4 [11:46] However its proving itself to be more complicated then I expected ^^ is there any way to ntegrate a simple Desktop into it? [11:46] aprilhare: did you update? [11:46] aprilhare: surely "tailored for ubuntu" is good as yuo are running ubntu [11:46] Horus_, install ubuntu-desktop [11:47] ziroday, i thought so - i'll try updating again [11:47] How can I achieve that?

[12:29] they are not playing. it tells me to download the flash plugin [12:29] lagann - bootchart, startup-manager, deborphan... quite a few [12:29] hi [12:30] woody86, open a terminal and type: sudo apt-cache search [12:30] dsdeiz: do you get the "search for plugin" dialog thingy? or is "it" the youtube webpage? [12:30] dsdeiz: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [12:30] i get the search for plugin thingy [12:30] paul68: with drop policies and only allowing necessary traffic it looks like a good solution [12:31] oskar-: thanks for your advice [12:31] dsdeiz: what happens if you try to install the flashplugin using that dialog? [12:31] paul68: but i haven't looked in detail. you seem to know, what you are doing and know your iptables rules best ;) [12:31] ActionParsnip: wouldn't that be the same thing as "sudo apt-get install --reinstall"? [12:31] downloads the .deb file if i remembered correctly [12:31] lagann_ ok, it listed a description of it [12:31] Any way to enable desktop effects without installing the propriatery nvidia drivers? The nvidia drivers screw up my Office 2007 installation.. [12:31] paul68: "--dport 443322" << hmm ;) [12:31] iv lost my windows navagation in gos? [12:32] ardchoille: i use apt-get clean to remove the previously downloaded deb, forcing a fresh download :D [12:32] so im running without the nvidia drivers activated, but then things are a bit choppy as animations and such arent enabled [12:32] ActionParsnip: Ah, that works [12:33] dsdeiz: here's what i used to get the new 64bit flash plugin: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html [12:33] edvard: if you do not use the "nvidia" driver, then "nv" driver will likely be used. it has no 3d acceleration, afaik [12:34] yeah, ive tried forcing the "nv" driver and no desktop effects can be enabled... but are there no other alternatives to the Nvidia drivers that come with Ubuntu? As they make my Office 2007 installation (through Crossover) unusable [12:34] edvard: tried envyng-qt? [12:34] edvard: yes, "vesa" and maybe more, but all without 3d support for proprietary nvidia cards [12:34] ive tried installing the nvidia drivers using envyng.. dunno if there are several variations or what? [12:34] hi everybody and hi smurf [12:34] how can I install the unstable version from wpasupplicnat on ubuntu, can any1 help me? [12:35] can someone tell me what in the world the console-kit-daemon is and more importantly why it was chewing up 50% of my processor time last night before i killed it???? [12:35] iamjay pardon ? [12:35] edvard: sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk && gksudo envyng-gtk [12:35] smurf, could we get a LoCobot in #ubuntu-dz ? [12:35] im on a GeForce 9600m GT (laptop video card) which is rather new, so I am suspecting maybe that to be the cause of my troubles with Office.. [12:35] yeah, i installed envyng-gtk and installed the nvidia drivers through the terminal thingie... but after the reboot, Office was slow again [12:36] edvard: does everything else run ok? [12:36] ikonia, well I'm currently using 0.5.4 and its having some problems, so I want to upgrade to 0.6.x [12:36] how'd I do that? [12:36] iamjay is there a package for 0.6 ? and do you know 0.6 will fix your issues ? [12:36] yeah [12:36] I think so.. [12:36] ikonia, there is, and yes it does :) [12:36] iamjay then install it [12:36] Im using gentoo at home, never really used ubuntu, just try to set up pc for a buddy [12:37] but Ive tried everything with Crossover.. Tried reformating and re-installing Ubuntu, tried two versions of Office 2007, and who knows what [12:37] well ikonia, sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant only gives me 0.5.4 and says latest is installed [12:37] cool, another gentoo user ;) [12:37] edvard: then its not an ubuntu problem per-se, contact crossover office as you have full support from them and they will be able to assist with configuring MS office better [12:37] but the best thing would be to get Offiec 2007 working with the nvidia drivers.. [12:37] oskar-, lets take overrrrrrrr! :D [12:37] iamjay so there is not a package for it then [12:37] yeah, well, Codeweavers doesnt seem to know whats wrong [12:37] ikonia, so I need to build from sources? [12:38] so.. well.. yeah, if anyone has any experience using Crossover here or something, any advice or suggestions are very welcome [12:38] iamjay: yes, you need to build your own deb, to make sure the package managers dependency tree stays updated [12:38] edvard: ive never used office 2007, OOo does me fine, plus its about 2Gb smaller then MS office [12:38] heh, yeah, but I need to use the OpenXML format [12:38] edvard: any joy with web searches? [12:39] and OOo just doesnt handle it good enough [12:39] nah, been googling my ass of for weeks [12:39] I've almost nailed it down to just my bad luck.. :P [12:39] edvard: didn't novell had compatibility plugins for that? [12:39] can i somehow change the "layout" of k3b? i want in into 2 columns instead of 2 rows [12:39] is there any reason i can only seem to find documentation on how to use VMWare(which looks very untrusthworthy) to emulate windows and not virtual box? is virtual box not capable of it, or does it suck at emulating windows or does it suck on linux? [12:39] but the problem exist only when the Nvidia drivers are activated.. the Desktop effects can be deativated, it doesnt matter.. [12:40] diegoe , what you mean? [12:40] edvard: http://www.sheehanmiles.com/Office2007_Under_Wine_Crossover.html [12:40] edvard: regarding your oo2k7 trauma [12:40] cib0: virtualbox works nicely for emulating windows/linux or whatever [12:40] oskar-: the port used is adapted tso thats not an issue [12:41] not sure I understand you diegoe..

[12:42] edvard: http://www.wine-reviews.net/microsoft/office-2007-on-linux-with-wine-install-guide.html [12:42] Slart: ok, that's good =) so why would anyone prefer a proprietory, highly commercial tool over that? [12:42] any sites authenticated by Equifax [12:43] cib0: I don't know really.. there might be some features only available in one or the other [12:43] sleepy_cat thats offtopic in here [12:43] edvard: the last link is most useful [12:43] !vm [12:43] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [12:43] thanks again, but as I said, installing and running is problem free. It works great, untill I activate the nvidia drivers.. [12:43] Ive read that one before though, but thank you :) [12:43] I have Crossover Office ;) [12:43] edvard: maybe theres some config or a step or 2 you could add to make it smoother [12:44] yeah, Ive been searching and looking, but the fact is that it runs really smooth without the nvidia drivers, but after they are activated it all lags up. Have been trying to find relevant settings in both Crossover, Office and Nvidia [12:44] i also got the tip to use VirtualBox here, and i am very happy with it [12:44] edvard: are you running compiz [12:44] ubuntu 8.10 and nvidia problems anyone? [12:44] good day! i'm using fluxbox as my WM, and i got a small question, what is Mouse1top set to for normal function in ~/.fluxbox/keys ? mine is not working [12:45] no compiz here :) [12:45] just a fresh install of Ubuntu [12:45] edvard: good [12:45] :) [12:45] gabx: ask in #fluxbox [12:45] they are idle ;) [12:45] gabx: very common :( [12:45] dont need that many effects and what not, but would be nice to have at least some of the desktop effects, just to make it feel good [12:45] Hi. Can someone help me please? I am having problems trying to setup twin monitors in Ubuntu using separate graphics adaptors. I am following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773624. I am working one step at a time to isolate problems so I have only got as far as adding the BusID to the first graphics adaptor and already X won't start. The results of lspci | grep VGA, my xorg.conf and the [12:45] ActionParsnip: indeed ;) you got any clue ? [12:46] edvard, is your nvidia card working on 8.10? [12:46] Slart: hm, ok, virtualbox seems to do all i need, if it can emulate windows properly, that is, thanks [12:46] gabx: http://darkshed.net/files/rcs/fluxbox/keys.html [12:46] cib0: you're welcome [12:46] I reckon its working fine, as I can enable desktop effects and such.. but the moment I enable the drivers, Office 2007 through Crossover Office runs slooow [12:46] ActionParsnip: thx, can't mark and copy hehe, will type it.. thx [12:46] gabx: http://static.gpicon.org/code/fluxbox-keys.html [12:46] without the drivers activated, Office 2007 runs perfectly... [12:47] edvard, what's your card ,ubuntu version, and driver? [12:47] edvard: then disable while you run MS officebloatware, then re-enable after is all i can suggest til codeweavers get a solution to you [12:47] ikonia: Do you have time to look at this for me?

[12:49] what do they do? [12:49] edvard: you wouldnt, just edit xorg.conf, change the driver line, then restart x [12:49] edvard: acer use proprietary power management, some dude has written the module to make it work properly [12:50] oskar-: the port is already a *modified* one so thats not an issue [12:50] edvard: its one of the reasons I hate acer as much as i hate apple [12:50] i can edit xorg.conf, but how do you restart x? I reckon the acer_acpi module woulndt affect the graphics or visuals?

[12:55] will install acerhk and acer_api and see if it helps [12:55] ActionParsnip: I am not using an nvidia card but two separate cards.

[12:58] ActionParsnip: Yesterday I tried following all the steps from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773624 but then X server couldnt start properly and it tried to fix it - thus destroying everything I had done. So now I am working one step at a time to try to find what is causing the problem [12:58] yeah compiling gives me errors... dont know why, doesnt matter if I chose openssl, gnutls, I dont know :( [12:58] JonathanEllis: best way. Id try get one card and one monitor working then add the other [12:59] ActionParsnip: Well, the first card works fine until I add the BusID statement and then X wont start [12:59] ActionParsnip: So basically I do the first step and it falls over [13:00] can i somehow change the "layout" of k3b? i want in into 2 columns instead of 2 rows [13:00] where can I find the acer_api for Ubuntu 8.10? the link I had says it was already included in Ubuntu 8.04? [13:00] iamjay: i remember something like that, but might have been in another similar program. openssl-dev packages are installed? [13:00] hello all! hey, anyone knows where i can get a script that checks a structure of mysql tables and sync between them? ... thanks! [13:00] edvard: thats cool then [13:01] so its already implemented then? [13:01] oskar-: it could be very useful in some circumstances, but not to me right now I don't think.. I think perhaps some of my slowness is due to using the "fake vnc" of x11vnc, and maybe using "true" vnc would be faster.. but I need to keep the same session between logins.... [13:01] edvard: apparently [13:01] oh well.. [13:01] installed the acerhk thingie.. [13:01] oskar-, theres no package openssl-dev :((( [13:01] gonna try to restart x-server now.. after installing the nvidia drivers again [13:01] brb [13:02] krupa^: afaik, this is called replication and perhaps already a feature inside many sql servers [13:02] iamjay: what about libssl-dev? ;) [13:03] its can be working with 2 diffrent mysql servers on diffrent locations ?

[13:07] JonathanEllis: simple websearch [13:07] oskar-: thanks for your help no errors found :-) [13:08] ActionParsnip: Yes, but the documents I found didnt mention that step [13:08] ActionParsnip: Or if they did I dint notice [13:08] JonathanEllis: well its good now, so add your xorg.conf to your nightly backup and you have no problems for future setups [13:09] ActionParsnip: I wouldnt go that far. I have simply managed to get past step one! There are many more steps [13:09] ActionParsnip: But at least the BusID statement is not screwing it up now [13:09] guys i jus did a backup of ubuntu 8.10 and ended up getting the backup file "backup.tgz" at Filesystem drive not under the home as i was expecting.. now i can delete the backup file as it says i am not the owner but root is... help [13:10] JonathanEllis: well create a backup of the current file so you can roll back to where you are now if something goes wrong [13:10] ActionParsnip: Have done already [13:10] sorry i meant i can't delete the backup file [13:10] JonathanEllis: smooth move [13:11] selkies: to act as root, put a "sudo" in front of shell commands, here: "sudo rm " but beware, root has all power!

[13:37] so how to find the IP of my modem to log into? [13:37] biouser: connect your computer to the modem, with dhcp enabled. then you might get an ip address from it, that is in the correct logical ip network [13:37] cuz, I am using Office 2007 in Ubuntu through Wine Crossover, and thing is that menu items and such are rendered technically like separate windows somehow.. Problem is that Compiz has some kind of delay animation in rendering windows, so moving the mouse from one button to another results in a signifcant lag.. making using Office kinda difficult [13:38] oskar-, I am already behind a router [13:38] so either, I have to completely remove Compiz, or manage to configure it in such a way that I can disable that exact feature [13:38] biouser: are modem and router the same? [13:38] no [13:39] oskar-, no, I know the IP of the router and can log into that [13:39] I just forget what the IP of modem is [13:39] firstly, 255.255.255.0 is a class C (or was it class A) network mask and not the gateway IP [13:39] Anyone know where I might find documentation on getting Desktop Effects set up?

Any advice? [13:49] it does this even if mail is the first thing i do [13:49] OpenBSDRulzs: intrepid [13:49] all other apps with sound work fine [13:49] myk_robinson: pulseaudio enabled? [13:49] oskar-> So it is looking for my keyboard and detecting hardware [13:49] javaJake: It worked with me on Gutsy. [13:49] how do i check? [13:49] i have a msi motherboard and in winzoz i have a msi software to monitor the cpu and motherboard temerature...is there a program to do that in ubuntu??? [13:49] how can I have different wallpapers on my different desks? [13:49] myk_robinson: can you hear test sounds in GNOME's Sound dialog? [13:49] I would like to figure out how to disable modules on suspend, for example. [13:49] hang on, lemme check. [13:49] sound works [13:49] javaJake: try Gusty. It works for me, though outdated. [13:50] myk_robinson, oskar-: pulseaudio is not required for this to work, and is a whole other project to set up :) [13:50] OpenBSDRulzs: no thanks [13:50] vladtsepesh1984: If I understand you correctly, you can install WiNE and use that to run Windows software. [13:50] OpenBSDRulzs: I got this working on a family PC, and everyone is settled. Can't just dump one version for another [13:50] ok but i hate wine....is there another linux native software to do that??? [13:50] javaJake: it actually worked fine in the beta. I did a clean install of the finished product and this is the only annoyance i have [13:51] vladtsepesh1984: No, you'd have to use VMWare to emulate an entire system to do that. [13:51] vladtsepesh1984: you just need sensors? [13:51] NOw it is trying to partition my HD...I just want to run from the CD [13:51] Fezzler1: do not select to format you hard drive and install ubuntu ;) if the installer has booted, you can switch to a terminal window or virtual console and do your work [13:51] yes i need software that comunicates with motherboard sensor [13:51] sensors [13:51] vladtsepesh1984: mbmon [13:51] !lm-sensors [13:52] You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [13:52] myk_robinson: right.... well, Evolution is a GNOME application, and so it should use the GNOME system to reach your sound system. If the test sounds in GNOME Sound Preferences works, then something's up with Evolution. [13:52] javaJake: file a report against xserver-xorg and report that "composite extension does not work on Interpid" [13:52] oska [13:52] However, vladtsepesh1984, there are other pieces of Linux software that will monitor your system sensors. I believe Conky provides a nice desktop HUD for that. [13:52] vladtsepesh1984: check out lm-sensors [13:52] oskar-> How? [13:52] Fezzler1: do NOT partition!!! [13:52] OpenBSDRulzs: it's an xorg.conf thing (and thus we come full circle back to the lack of documentation) [13:52] thank you very much!!!!! i will try conky [13:52] Repeat post:] 8.10 on a HP 2230s centrino, wlan0 is there but I'm not being offered a list of available networks and when I try to sign on to a known one the password (the CORRECT one) fails. Any advice? [13:52] ActionParsnip: Hi again. I can get screen 0 working on its own but not screen 1 working on its own. I have shown the results of lspci | grep VGA at http://pastebin.com/m662c43d, xorg.conf at http://pastebin.com/f75f72e71 and /var/log/Xorg.0.log at http://pastebin.com/f10a13899 [13:52] vladtsepesh1984: there are some nice graphical tie-ins in the package "screenlets" that will give you some eye candy-type visual indicators like gauges and such [13:52] oskar-> I did not [13:53] javaJake: xorg.conf man page should be added, do you agree? [13:53] vladtsepesh1984: There's also gkrellm [13:53] any Idea how I could get a grub Error 22 on a windows machine without having linux installed? -.- [13:53] javaJake: I wonder if the plugin in evolution and the setting i have in the gnome sound preferences are fighting each other.. [13:53] Fezzler1: do nothing in the installer! you wanted to boot from live cd, with whatever intention, you have now. if you do not know, what to do know except of installing, you should cancel and reboot [13:53] :-) [13:53] How can I check what ips are available to me in an ipv6 subnet ? [13:53] anyone have spdif working with xfi? [13:54] Fezzler1: i do not want to be responsible for wasting your hard drive ;-) [13:54] myk_robinson: plugin? [13:55] MrPink-: You still have Grub installed to your MBR. There are various windows tools for doing this, such as fixmbr from a windows recovery disc in XP and 2000. ##windows can help you further with this. [13:55] in Evolution, there is a plugin for incoming mail notification. i just turned off the sound there, but left it set in Gnome sound preferences. Sending myself a mail from a webmail app, will check Evolution now. [13:55] Is there a difference between a LiveCD that I can run from and Install From? [13:55] ActionParsnip: Even when I comment out all references to the onboard video device and screen 0 and monitor 0 it still tries to use it. Any ideas? [13:55] okay, that didnt work. Now i will try the inverse [13:56] Pici The problem is my harddrive is rreally messed up it seems :> [13:56] Fezzler1: What version of Ubuntu do you have on the CD? Where did you get it? [13:56] Pici I tried to reinstall Vista ( I know shame on me :D ) and the installation went fine, but when it tried to boot it still got that error [13:56] Fezzler1: no, should not be. in older ubuntu live cds you can select "run or install", in the 8.10 you have two different options, afaik [13:57] what is weird in the XP installation I am doing now it showed me my harddrive twice... the with ID=0 and whatever else it showed... [13:57] javaJake: still no luck.. [13:58] JonathanEllis: its not something ive ever setup, or will ever so im not much use here dude [13:58] ActionParsnip: OK. Thanks anyway [13:58] myk_robinson: can you hear sounds in GNOME's Sound Preferences [13:58] yes [13:59] oskar-> I'm trying to use dd to clone my main hd and instructions say LiveCD should have a menu item "Try Ubuntu" I don't have that [13:59] myk_robinson: run this in a terminal: esdplay /usr/share/sounds/card_shuffle.wav [14:00] myk_robinson: can you hear sound? [14:00] yes [14:00] how can I have several wallpapers on my various desks? [14:00] Pici I have XP installed now and it boots XP... but it only recognizes my 320 GB harddrive as 120 GB o.O [14:01] MrPink-: Sounds like a job for ##windows [14:01] myk_robinson: ah, apparently this is a known issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765994 [14:01] some sound help please on 8.10 / HP 2230s, no sound at all] [14:01] after fresh install [14:01] MrPink-: not an ubuntu support question [14:01] imc_: run lspci to find out what sound card you have and then websearch from there [14:01] cool [14:02] [14:02] this forum is scrolling way to fast, no way you can have a proper conversation [14:02] javaJake: at least I am not alone. Looks like the last comment on that thread is where I am. I have it set in both places, no luck [14:02] Anyone else having trouble with the Hp library updates lately? [14:02] maybe split up #ubuntu into 5 chat rooms? [14:02] bernhard1: [14:02] bernhard1: no [14:03] myk_robinson: and it looks like a bug has been filed: right... did you check "Play alerts and sound affects" in the second tab in GNOME sound? [14:03] myk_robinson: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/134214 [14:03] yes. [14:03] Hi, is it possible to do a distribution upgrade using an unofficial mirror? I know this worked for me with Gutsy -> Hardy, but a friend had problems with Hardy -> Intrepid. [14:04] myk_robinson: if you set it to system beep does it work? [14:04] negative. [14:04] fbond: sure, but there is even less garuntee it will work when it comes back round [14:04] or it may be way too quiet, as another poster noted [14:04] I overwrote the mbr and rebooted to check and it worked,being satisfied I shutdown the computer and went to sleep . Today while trying to boot to windows ( from the grub console ) it stops while in "GRUB Loading Stage2" and stops ,how come ? [14:04] myk_robinson: right.... [14:05] ActionParsnip: Like ... what? If you don't know, just don't answer... [14:05] fbond: "like...what?" can you please clarify what you mean [14:05] javaJake: one person noted he enabled software mixed sound under sound preferences. I dont see this option [14:06] myk_robinson: Intrepid changed it around [14:06] oh === Milosz is now known as Mee [14:06] what is my username? (I mean which one do you see?) [14:06] fbond: if you use unofficail repos, there is no telling what modifications could have happened to the files you are donwnloading. If you use official repos you know you are getting the real deal [14:06] You say "even less garuntee it will work when it comes back round"; what do you anticipate going wrong? [14:06] <|MUSE|> I am installing ubuntu-server and want to set up two 250gb in raid1. I have all the partitions set up to do this but the swap. How do I, or should I, or can it be done? [14:06] this is weird, this is the only sound issue (or any issue at all, really) that I am having... [14:06] hey how do i add more fonts in OpenOffice [14:07] ActionParsnip: These are correct repos, just not official ones. [14:07] myk_robinson: well, I do not see any more information related to your problem. Since sound works everywhere else, I can only assume it's a bug in Evolution. [14:07] !raid | |MUSE| [14:07] |MUSE|: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [14:07] fbond: anything can go wrong. its FOSS, if it works, great. If it breaks you get both pieces. Using official repos is a better idea allround [14:07] ActionParsnip: The report I'm getting is that the unofficial repos got commented during the upgrade process. [14:07] <|MUSE|> erUSUL: tahnx [14:07] javaJake: thank you for your assistance, many times its nice just to have a response here :) [14:07] myk_robinson: I would try different sound files, and whatever else you can change, and if you can't get it to work, I'd reopen that bug I linked you to and mention that it does not work in Intrepid. [14:07] myk_robinson: I know what you mean :) [14:08] *winks at LjL* [14:08] ActionParsnip: Okay, thanks... [14:08] trying to find an Ubuntu package with the Nvidia 180.08 BETA drivers? [14:08] edvard there isn't one [14:09] hi there, could someone step me though getting an application using Git? [14:09] hey how do i add more fonts in OpenOffice [14:09] hello [14:09] ah, so I would have to install the drivers manually thne? [14:10] edvard: you don't [14:10] edvard: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [14:10] edvard: why do you want these drivers ? [14:10] edvard: what card do you have? [14:10] edvard: or more specifically: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Driver%20Versions [14:11] edvard: certain versions support certain cards, so be sure to install the right one [14:11] javaJake: looks like a bug report is filed for INtrepid as well: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/292585 [14:11] I have a geforce 9600m GT (Laptop).. [14:11] myk_robinson: nice :) [14:11] and when activating the 177 drivers that come with Ubuntu, Office 2007 renders really slow.. [14:12] myk_robinson: now login and mark yourself as being affected too ;) [14:12] I overwrote the mbr and rebooted to check and it worked,being satisfied I shutdown the computer and went to sleep . Today while trying to boot to windows ( from the grub console ) it stops while in "GRUB Loading Stage2" and stops ,how come ? [14:12] doing so as we speak [14:12] and since the 9600m GT is a rather new card, I was thinking that the new driver might solve my biggest problem with linux [14:12] edvard: your card is not listed as supported: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.12/README/appendix-a.html [14:13] I believe office2007 uses gdiplus a lot for drawing to bitmaps and so [14:13] edvard: at least, not in the versions Ubuntu has available [14:13] UnknownUser56: can you post your menu.lst ? [14:13] edvard: yea, you might have to manually install [14:13] well, when activating the Nvidia drivers that come with ubuntu (177 or 173), everything works perfect... except Office 2007 [14:13] argh, anyone have any idea what would be causing a "None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed" error when attempting to start GUI programs as a normal user? [14:13] edvard: which is a big pain! Expect it to be a messy business. [14:13] :'( [14:13] edvard: ahh, OK [14:14] edvard: then you need to work with crossover as its a proprietary software as is Office [14:14] edvard: yea, can't help you there. :( [14:14] yeah, I have been searching for answers everywhere [14:14] ActionParsnip: he's probably already using that (or it's cousin, Wine) [14:14] I know its not Compiz, and since Office 2007 works perfectly well without the Nvidia drivers.. [14:14] Hi all, [14:14] javaJake: yes, he's using crossover [14:15] javaJake: too rich for my blood [14:15] :P [14:15] has anyone connected Sony Erricsson G700 cellphone to multisync? [14:15] Joker_-_:Not quite as I can't boot to an OS,ubuntu installation was faulty so I thought of booting to Windows while it reports the error message,so I'm rather stuck .. [14:15] hello all! hey im looking for a way to sync a mysql db structure (only structure!) from localhost to remote server, not in real time, just when i type a command or somthing... i saw replication but i see its realtime sync so its wont help me... ideas? ... thanks! [14:15] can I check the filesystem of my first harddisk booted from the LiveCD? [14:16] Getting ready to clone it [14:16] Fezzler1: fsck /dev/whatever [14:16] yeah, using Crossover Office [14:16] UnknownUser56: I dotn have quite enought information to help you out with your ubuntu problem... as for your booting problem, you can erase your mbr in order to have windows booting as it was before. [14:16] LjLWill that repair too? [14:16] krupa^: try using rsync [14:16] UnknownUser56: if you have a bootable floppy with fdisck on it, or a bootable windows install CD, you can do it quite easily [14:17] krupa^, you want to replicate the structure without changing the data ? Or you don't have/care about the data on it ? [14:17] Fezzler1: yes (you need to use sudo and the disk must *not* be mounted) [14:17] jagadeesh, rsync does not help with a database :) [14:17] Joker_-_:will try liveCD when I get home ,thanks :) [14:17] i care [14:17] I believe office2007 uses gdiplus a lot for drawing to bitmaps and so I cant really figure out if its crossover or Nvidia drivers which are to blame [14:17] UnknownUser56: liveCD? I dont think you can fix your mbr with live CD... [14:17] krupa^, if you change the structure, and there is new data on the new fields, you must synchronize the data also... [14:18] joaopinto: why? once we got schema, we can use it for restoring [14:18] LjL how do I unmount /dev/hda [14:18] Fezzler1: sudo umount /dev/hda [14:18] If I could use Office 2007 with Ubuntu, everything would be great, but without it, I still need Windows [14:18] i cannot do only to add/remove cols ? [14:18] jagadeesh, I guess he was asking about how to deal qith the mysql/db part, not about simple file synchronization ;) [14:18] Dadgum. nvidia-glx-71 failed to install correctly. [14:18] LjL So I can run fsck /dev/hda from boot disk [14:18] krupa^, you can, assuming they all accept NULL values [14:19] krupa^, and you want something that would generate an ALTER table, a mysql diff [14:19] joaopinto: oh. [14:19] edcard: why do you have to use office 2007 office 2003 will work in Ubuntu [14:19] Fezzler1: actually though, no. /dev/hda is a drive, not a partition. you can only mount/unmount/fsck a *partition* [14:19] Getting some about "Couldn't find ext2 superblock [14:19] Joker_-_:there were instructions on how to reset the Windows bootloader on one of my partitions ,I'll be following the instructions [14:19] they are accepting nulls [14:19] UnknownUser56: aight, good luck with that! [14:20] ;) [14:20] Fezzler1: yes, that's because it's not a partition, even less so an ext2 partition [14:20] krupa^, you need to search for a mysql structure diff, try http://adamyoung.net/MySQL-Database-Diff-Script, but your question is a bit off topic [14:20] what is wrong with Ubuntu USB ??? It periodically (usually over the course of a day) dies but if the mouse is used a lot it dies quicker......... [14:20] Fezzler1: things like /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2 etc are partitions. /dev/hda is not. [14:20] Anyone here survived "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-71" in Intrepid yet? :P [14:20] LjL so fsck /dev/hda will not check my filesystems before I clone? [14:21] Fezzler1, NO, because it wouldn't know WHAT filesystem to check, and that's because /dev/hda is NOT a partition with a filesystem on it [14:21] Fezzler1: you need to check /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2... whatever is relevant [14:22] LjL: (/dev/hda == physical drive) != (/dev/hda1 == partition with possibly a filesystem on it) [14:22] LjL: forward to Fezzler1 [14:22] LjL How do I find that out? fdisk -l reports I have /dev/hda and /dev/hdb [14:23] Fezzler1: i'm pretty sure fdisk -l reports more than that [14:23] I'll be back in ahile [14:23] a while* === lmartin92 is now known as lmartin92isAFK [14:23] back home .. the inigial grub setup is failing to load ( Error 17 ) .. frustrating ,let me try the live CD [14:23] !away > lmartin92isAFK (lmartin92isAFK, see the private message from ubottu) [14:24] LjL Got it. Yes. /dev/hda has on it /dev/hda1 /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda5 [14:24] !away > Joker_-_ [14:24] Joker_-_, please see my private message [14:24] LjL Before cloning drive, do I need to do a filesystem check on all 3? [14:25] where's the installation directory of eclipse? i used aptitude [14:25] Fezzler1: Fezzler1: if you're going to clone the whole drive, it's probably a good idea. [14:25] i cannot update apt on one of my machines. complains that "Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)". See some bugs in launchpad going back to dapper. [14:25] LilJ: I'm using Konversation and did do a /away..... is there a setting I'm missing to kill the messaging? (or is it my nick changing that's causing problems?) [14:25] i have set my software sources from main us server to a local mirror with no change. [14:25] LjL: ^^ (my last message, I accidentally mispelled your nick) [14:25] lmartin92isAFK: the later... [14:26] lmartin92isAFK: it's the nick changing (although you don't really need to announce you're going away either, people will find out anyway) [14:26] oh ok [14:26] chagin nickname is prohibited here? [14:26] strange [14:26] !nickspam > Joker_-_ (Joker_-_, see the private message from ubottu) [14:26] basically same problem as bug #158897 [14:26] Joker_-_: it's not prohibited but one really should keep it to a bare minimum [14:27] LjL: yeah I can understand this, but changing nickname is a server thing, not a channel thing. anyway, no need to discuss that ;) [14:28] LjL: /dev/hda5 is a swap file...so no need to worry about fsck [14:28] Fezzler1: that's correct [14:28] how can you assign applications to owner or group? [14:28] !libkdecore.so [14:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about libkdecore.so [14:28] Vinceman: do you know about chown? [14:29] yes [14:29] Vinceman: not sure what you mean there [14:29] Vinceman: I suppose you'd want to chown the "application" [14:29] LjL /dev/hda2 I get "fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/hda2" [14:29] cool [14:29] Vinceman: wich probably is a file somewhere [14:29] Vinceman: you should check chown and chmod === lmartin92isAFK is now known as lmartin92 [14:29] LjL: "Could this be a zero-length partition?" [14:29] slestak: i have no clue honestly, but standard stuff you may try could be 1) switching to other mirrors 2) sudo apt-cache gencaches 3) sudo apt-get clean === lmartin92 is now known as lmartin92isAFK [14:30] LjL: any hting to worry about? [14:30] Fezzler1: pastebin the output of fdisk -l [14:30] oi [14:31] oi [14:31] tudo bom? [14:31] quem fala?

I installed Ubuntu, but when I try to boot in Wubi, I see "Starting GRLB" or something like that and then the screen goes black and there's a little underscore blinking in the top left corner. [14:31] bell [14:32] oi [14:32] belzinhaaaa [14:32] como vai? [14:32] !pt [14:32] Por favor use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [14:32] I installed it in order to have an OS after activation-deadline on XP expired, which after I installed Ubuntu, has. [14:32] Hello, why sometimes I press TAB after "apt-get remove", I get auto-completed package names that doesn't actually exist in my system? [14:33] Rainarrow, apt-get complete does not check for package existence, it just checks for availability [14:34] joaopinto, availability? you mean, whether the package exists in the repo? [14:34] yes [14:34] duxo-\ That underscore blinking in the corner might mean it's taking forever to start up - it does that to me when I have to whack Reset [14:34] justafish: See my private message [14:34] joaopinto, ok, but if I press TAB twice after "apt-get install", I get asked "Display all 34550 possibilities?" [14:35] lavacano201014: When I press my power-button it instantly turns off, instead of the 5-second killswitch time it usually takes. Can that have something to do with it? It's a laptop btw. [14:35] joaopinto, while if I do this after "apt-get remove", I get "Display all 1940 possibilities?" [14:35] Rainarrow, oh :P [14:35] Hi, anyone know of other websites like sourceforge and freshmeat ?? [14:35] joaopinto, so I think bash, or apt-get does check the existence of packages [14:35] DigBig: launchpad.net [14:35] btw I have the package "bash-completion" installed [14:35] duxo-\ Yeah, because what I think happens is the swap partition doesn't get emptied, and Ubuntu has to clean up it's mess when it's "sleepy" [14:36] So I should just let it blink away? [14:36] For how long? [14:36] duxo-\ Give it a little while (my old machine usually takes 3-5 minutes) then if it's still an underscore, you might have a problem [14:36] LjL: I need a pastebin link [14:36] why SOMETIMES when I press TAB after "apt-get remove", I get auto-completed package names that doesn't actually exist in my system? [14:37] lavacano201014: Ok. [14:37] Rainarrow, what do you expect, do you want to remove the package you do not have installed? [14:37] Thanks. [14:37] How comes my hdd led keeps flashing all the time on my desktop box? I have 2 other ubuntu boxes (server edition) but none does that... [14:37] duxo-\ No prob [14:37] pastebin [14:37] Febio-\ I usually use pastebin.com [14:37] er [14:37] Fezzler1-\ pastebin.com [14:38] icqnumber, normally only those name of packages that was installed on my system get auto-completed [14:38] Febio-\ My bad. [14:38] how does one reset all usb devices? (my usb has turned off its power to usb devices, and is in an infinite recognize loop) [14:38] information obtained via syslog ^^ [14:38] All, trying to get MySQL to run on U-Server 7.10.

[14:38] icqnumber, e.g. if I press TAB twice after "apt-get remove linux-image", only those kernel images that exists on my system get listed [14:38] icqnumber, that's how it normally behaves [14:39] lmartin92-\ There's the quick 'n' easy way of just unplugging them all and letting it cool off for a minute [14:39] icqnumber, but sometimes those package that was already removed still get listed [14:39] <[c0re]> can anyone help me with a python script? [14:39] All, oh yes have to log as SU to mysql in Putty. Is this the problem? [14:39] Anyone know how to create a partition that's part of the memory ? [14:39] UBUNTU! [14:39] [c0re]-\ Wouldn't that be in #python? [14:39] icqnumber, and if I actually press Enter after the auto-completed command, I get the msg like "Package was not installed, so it won't be uninstalled" [14:40] DigBig-\ Swap partition? [14:40] Most partition editors should be able to do that [14:40] Think I've got some dependency problems here: [14:40] ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyQt4/QtGui.so: undefined symbol: _ZTI19QStyledItemDelegate [14:40] Any ideas how to solve this issue ? [14:40] icqnumber, so, since normally it would only list the packages on my system, I suppose it has some sort of package existence check [14:40] lava*: (I'm sorry but your nick is too long to spell) I'll do that, but I've had this problem in the past, and I can't possibly disconnect all my usb devices when one of them is a Flash Card Reader that is stuck inside the computer [14:40] !paste | Fezzler [14:40] Fezzler: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [14:40] and I wonder why sometimes this check fails [14:40] lmartin92-\ Couple things. [14:41] lmartin92-\ 1) You can use lav usually to get my full nick [14:41] lmartin92-\ 2) Ouch. [14:41] LjL: http://pastebin.com/m74f33de6 [14:41] icqnumber, so to answer your question, I expect bash to auto-complete only the name of those packages that was actually installed on my system [14:41] lavacano201014: (I'm not used to IRC, so sorry) [14:41] lmartin92-\ No prob. [14:42] Rainarrow (icqnumber): my guess would be that it looks at the same list that you get when you do "dpkg -l", but without actually making sure the package is *installed currently*, rather the still listed but only installed in the past [14:42] lavacano201014: If I go inside my computer, will the card reader be connected to sata, usb header, or usb port? [14:42] Fezzler: hda2 isn't a real partition, it's only an extended ("fake") partition that holds hda5. don't check it. [14:42] lmartin92-\ I have no idea. [14:43] Rainarrow, when I use tab completion it uses the list of all available packages not just those installed [14:43] lmartin92-\ Try shutting down the machine for a bit, see if that works. [14:43] slayton: not when you use "remove" [14:43] how do I change my screen resolution in Ibex? I don't have High enough resolutions to choose from. I add modes and more options in the X11 and there not showing up. [14:43] slayton, try press TAB twice after "apt-get install" and "apt-get remove" and look at the "Display all xxxx possibilities?" message [14:43] lavacano201014: ok...... [14:43] 'Cause I really think it just needs a cool-down [14:44] slayton, on my system those two numbers are hugely different [14:44] help [14:44] LjL: so I'm ready to clone with dd! I'm attempting to clone my boot hda, a failing 6giger to a new 20 giger hdb [14:44] LjL, I think you have a point there, actually I've checked /etc/bash_completion [14:44] LjL, which did mention dpkg [14:44] Fezzler: i'm not sure cloning to a differently-sized HD will work right. [14:44] LjL: As long as it is bigger, it is ok [14:45] LjL: I'll need to use gparted to expand partition when done (researched) [14:45] <_mak> how can I make the tun0 (vpn) connection available to my 192. network? My eth1 (internet) is already available to the eth0 (192.), but i dont know how to do this with the tun0.. [14:45] Rainarrow: yes, and you can test that. do « dpkg -l | grep "^rc" ». those are packages that aren't installed, but are only listed because they were removed (not purged) in the past. try tab completion on one of those [14:45] can help me with my screen resolution please [14:46] I need to add higher [14:46] Fezzler: ok, if you've researched it then fine, i was only afraid the partition table would be inconsistent [14:46] How do I add another menu next to Applications | Places | System [14:46] LjL, ok I see..but normally if I remove a package, it disappears from the auto-completion list, I don't have to purge them [14:46] fograven: I can point you to /etc/X11/xorg.conf but wont have time to help you out setting it up. [14:46] LjL: Live and learn! :) [14:47] LjL, so I think this only happens when a package was not "completely" uninstalled for some reason? [14:47] fograven-\ Is your monitor on when you boot your machine up? And are any KVM switches displaying that machine? [14:47] joker: I did that add them [14:47] to the X11 [14:47] fograven: something must be wrong in there or you'd be set. [14:47] Rainarrow: likely when it has configuration files (which remove without purge doesn't get rid of by default), yes... [14:47] fograven: nopaste xorg.conf and give us the link [14:48] fograven: find someone to help you out. I have to go to an apointment. [14:48] See, when I don't have my monitor actively WATCHING it boot up, then I usually get stuck with 640x480 [14:48] All, trying to get MySQL to run on U-Server 7.10. Have apache installed and can see web pages at 192.168.1.70/test/html on local net, but keep getting error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /var/www/test/html/dblib.inc.php on line 35, which indicated the MySQL engine is not working, but logging in with Putty, I see and run it just fine from command line. What is wrong? All, oh yes have to log as SU to mysql [14:48] cool thanks [14:48] LjL, ok I think that answer is good enough for me. Thanks! [14:48] LjL: i have tried 1 already. is the gencache and apt-get clean a non-destructive move? [14:49] * lavacano201014 detaches any help he could give otherwise so he can go to work [14:49] Hi [14:49] slestak: yes and no (but mostly yes) - apt-get clean deletes the packages you have downloaded from /var/cache/apt/archives, so you'll have to download those again if you need to install them [14:49] how do I exit the sendmail command ? [14:52] All, Oh yes I installed MySQL Administrator, to do remote login and when I set to: Server Host ==> 192.168.1.70, Username ==> root, Password ==> correct_root_pwd; the connection always fails, so assuming I have an connect, apache, or some other system level config issue. help please! [14:52] i need to do a su command (and not sudo). But since I never run su, i don't remember my su password. how can i find out my su password? [14:52] jeancalvin: there is no "su" password. why do you think you need su instead of sudo? [14:52] !root > jeancalvin (jeancalvin, see the private message from ubottu) === leonel__ is now known as leonel [14:53] jeancalvin: If you really want "su", try "sudo bash". :) [14:53] LjL, ty. but how do i then run this command: echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling ? [14:53] Zzeiss: perfect! thanks [14:53] Zzeiss: no reason to do that [14:53] jeancalvin: "sudo -i" will achieve that. [14:53] sudo bash is an abomination. [14:54] jeancalvin: also, you can do it in several other ways that involve no root login [14:54] Ljl, i just did sudo bash and it worked [14:54] sudo -i is the same as sudo bash, ljl? [14:54] jeancalvin: for instance: echo 0 | sudo tee -a /proc/etc [14:54] LjL : indeed, it is. [14:54] jeancalvin: echo 0 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling [14:54] jeancalvin: no, it's not the same, "sudo -i" sets up things sanely [14:54] !works for me | Zzeiss === Guest198 is now known as skunkworks_ [14:54] Zzeiss: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. [14:55] LjL: I had not seen "sudo -i". Cool. :) [14:55] greetings all [14:56] hi everyone, the ubuntu live cd seems to have borked by video card and I'm looking for some advice on handling the warranty return [14:56] is it possible to get dual language spell check in 8.10 under gnome? It seems if I log into an English session, then English is spellchecked, but everything i type in Russian, correct or not, is underlined as misspelled. Same goes for Russian sessions (with the languages reversed, of course) [14:56] should I just say what happened, or keep quiet? [14:56] LjL, Zzeiss. thanks for your help [14:57] On the other hand, "sudo -i" is _not_ in the man pages. Therefore, one might challenge it on the basis of "undocumented feature that might go away" [14:57] Zzeiss: then you haven't looked at the man page carefully enough. [14:57] details on the problem are here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/302006 [14:57] Zzeiss: the SYNOPSIS gives: sudo [-bEHPS] [-a auth_type] [-c class|-] [-p prompt] [-u username|#uid] [VAR=value] {-i | -s | command} <---- see that "-i" [14:57] Zzeiss: it is there with a rather long entry explainig its effects [14:58] Zzeiss: then, there is: -i The -i (simulate initial login) option runs the shell specified in the passwd(5) entry of the user that the command is being run as. [14:58] if anyone can give me any ideas of the best approach to take with this kind of thing that would be awesome [14:58] Ah, there it is. [14:58] LjL: ni dice yet. did the gencaches. i am looking at my sources.list carefully. wnet to url in multiverse line (1st that failes) in elinks, and things look ok so far as I can tell. [14:59] LjL: so how is it _different_ from sudo bash? [14:59] LjL: do not see any bz2's there though, which is what aptitude is expectin to find [14:59] im guessing sudo -i is meant to emulate a 'su -' [14:59] ljl: It looks like sudo -i is like su - , which is different than "su" [14:59] while sudo -s is just a normal 'su' [15:00] * Panarchy goes to be, and wishes everyone a Good Night! [15:00] so .... I am trying to install screens and graphics on 8.10 ... can someone tell me where it is? [15:00] Zzeiss: it's different in all the things that the manpage says about "-i". "sudo bash" won't « attempt to change to that user’s home directory before running the shell », it won't « initialize the environment, leaving TERM unchanged, setting HOME, SHELL, USER, LOGNAME, and PATH », and all the other stuff that "man" says. [15:00] ubuntu is not detecting the correct monitor/resolution [15:00] w0ls0n: You installed server version or so? [15:01] Zzeiss: yes, the equivalent of "su" is "sudo -s". [15:01] genii workstation [15:01] Zzeiss: "sudo -i" is almost invariably a better idea. [15:02] What's the difference between aptitude and apt-get? Could they be used interchangeably at all time? [15:02] !aptitude | Rainarrow [15:02] Rainarrow: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [15:02] so then, what is the difference between "sudo -i" and "su -" except that you use your own password rather than root's password? [15:02] I have just cloned my boot harddrive using dd. A failing 6gig to a newer 20gig. Now I need to expand the partition on the 20gig to take advantage of the new drive size [15:02] Rainarrow : these days? yea they are pretty well identical on the later debian based distros [15:03] Rainarrow: you can use the one you prefer. differences are, for instance, * aptitude has a TUI mode (although i hate it) * aptitude has very advanced "search" capabilities that apt-get lacks * aptitude gives you some more control over things like installing recommends [15:03] Fezzler1: use gparted to resize [15:03] cyr1: well, i wouldn't say identical [15:03] well functionally equivilant from an installation standpoint ;-) [15:03] i tend to use apt-get to install and aptitude to search, but that's me [15:03] wow, ok thanks, I'll go check that SurvivalGuide out [15:03] cyr1: for installing, yes. [15:03] Can I do this by booting from the original 6gig, have newly clone drive as slave, and use gparted installed on the 6giger? [15:03] LjL, wouldn't you use apt-cache for searching? [15:04] Rainarrow: then if you're interested in learning more, http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/ [15:04] that saves me from having to create a gparted boot disk, right? [15:04] so how do I change my monitor in ubuntu 8.10>? It seems screens and graphics is gone [15:04] LjL: im checking logs. think it may be related to dansguardian and tinyproxy [15:04] histo: well to be honest, yes i do in most circumstance. but there are cases when aptitude just lets you search much more complicated things. [15:04] Because I can change partition on a boot harddrive, right? [15:04] Fezzler1: do it from the ubuntu livecd [15:04] Who was it that gave me some help with WUBI about 15 minutes ago? [15:04] aptitude has more functionality than apt-cache search wise [15:04] LjL, thank you, you are so kind!

Any clues on how to procede? [15:05] w0ls0n, what type of video card do you have? [15:05] This is exciting. I hope it works! [15:05] Stupid bulletproffx [15:05] histo, its on the mobo embedded [15:05] What is the initrd image in 8.10? [15:06] how likely is it that ubuntu permanently wrecked my video card? [15:06] or was it an existing hardware problem? [15:06] I'm having problems with getting into Ubuntu after I ran the WUBI installer in windows. I installed it to D:/ instead of C:/, even though it's the same physical hdd. Can this have something to do with my problem? [15:06] daviddean: i'd say extremely unlikely... [15:06] daviddean : pretty unlikely [15:06] daviddean: almost impossible? [15:06] When one install apts via LiveCD boot, do they get installed in a temporary swap file? where do they get installed?

[15:08] w0ls0n, you can edit your xorg.conf and speicfy a display section [15:08] schmrz: yes they are there. maybe you can elaborate on the question or problem you are trying to solve [15:08] Is the "Create USB startup disk" function in Intrepid supposed not to work with USB drives larger than 4GB? [15:08] I try to call an php script by liunx shell [15:08] w0ls0n, its a problem with this stupid bulletproof X they are using now.

Need something like: http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ if it exists, but do not want German language. Do you know another english site?

[17:16] panfist: thanks [17:17] sipior: ok this package is installed (the version is 2.6.27.7.11) but uname -r gives me 2.6.24-19-generic would it be possible to update my kernel to 2.6.27.7.11?

If I change CONCURRENCY=none to " CONCURRENCY=shell " in /etc/init.d/rc, will it damage my computer... the article says it's for 2-core processors only. My comp has only one core.

[17:24] UnknownUser56: basically, you will get back in your ubuntu's environment, while booting trough a CD or whatever (even slackware). [17:24] u dont need CD [17:24] u are not following what i gave u [17:24] that is all [17:24] Joker_-_:Googling [17:24] UnknownUser56: that way, you'll be able to make modifications to your system (say grub) and boot back in it [17:25] sipior: that gives plenty of packages. but why?

[17:32] UnknownUser56: the "export" part is not necessery; purely esthetical. "Source" part might not work at all, no biggie. [17:32] JonathanEllis: well they are on a smb share on an AD network I am connecting to them with an AD account that has admin rights if thats what you mean [17:32] I have a sansa mp3 player and when ever I plug it into the computer it makes rhythmbox open and it imports the music into my music database. How do I disable this from happening? I don't have the rhythmbox mtp plugin installed either. [17:33] Christopher, sure. Here's how this works. State what you've done, what you're trying to do and what went wrong [17:33] Don't make us pull it out of you [17:33] Joker_-_:Got it ,executed grub <2 [17:33] GreenDeltaLaptop: well, there's your problem :-) pick a repository that you can reach, run an apt-get update, and see if that doesn't help [17:33] UnknownUser56: cool... looks fine I guess [17:33] JonathanEllis: cifs auto,iocharset=utf8,uid=celdridge,gid=users,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0 those are the options I am using [17:33] Christopher, basically the program you're trying to compile will have a readme file that talks about how to compile. [17:33] sipior: but with other packages apt-get does work... [17:34] i tried to compile some applications from source but i don't have a clue how to do it (i'm new to linux) [17:34] GreenDeltaLaptop: it obviously doesn't work very well. [17:34] Christopher: usually, you follow the instructions and it's pretty straight forward. If not, you miss dependencies and this can become a pain. [17:34] i was wondering if i could create something similar to a udev rule that would execute a script after i get an ip via dhcp? [17:34] !give ljl test [17:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about give ljl test [17:35] why would Login successful sound work if I have it Unchecked? [17:35] sipior: no, not at all. is it possible to change the proxy for apt manually? [17:35] ottoshmidt: have you restarted gdm? [17:35] gdm? [17:35] GreenDeltaLaptop: are you sure you need a proxy? or do you mean the repository address? [17:36] ottoshmidt: well.. yeah gdm :) /etc/init.d/gdm restart [17:36] can anyone help with a quick fstab permissions issue? I am mapping a bunch of smb network shares in my fstab, but when i try to copy files from the to my desktop i get a permission denied error. [17:36] ottoshmidt: or something like that [17:36] sipior: i am sure that i do NOT need a proxy, but it seems like apt-get hast one configured... [17:36] chadeldridge: I wonder if you need to copy them from the command line using sudo cp . The other thing is you could check the properties of the files and make sure you have permission to read them. Other than that I dont know [17:36] Joker_-_, when should I have restarted this gdm? [17:37] JonathanEllis: yeah its the same issue going from cp even a sudo cp .. [17:37] GreenDeltaLaptop: well then you'll want to remove that. if you use a graphical package manager, there should be a preference tab for removing the proxy address, and selecting a repository from a list [17:37] how can i validate date in bash ? ...let's say i ask user to input date in format: mmyyyy ? thank you [17:37] ottoshmidt: hemm, well thats a wild guess but if you make a change to a configuration, you have to reload the application (restart) so that it reads that new config. In that case, it's your login manager: gdm. === alberto is now known as Guest28778 [17:38] ottoshmidt: rebooting your computer will do the trick if you want it simple... [17:38] ottoshmidt: altho rebooting th ecomputer isnt necessary. [17:38] I ran /etc/init.d/gdm restart and Startint Gnome Display Manager ... [faile] [17:38] how do I stop rhythmbox from starting when I plug my mp3 player into the computer? [17:38] ottoshmidt: reboot, it'll be simple and it'll do the trick. [17:38] GreenDeltaLaptop: actually, now that i think about it, apt-get shouldn't know directly about the proxy at all. that should be under the networking preference dialogue... [17:39] ottoshmidt: thats the windows way: reboot, it'll work :P [17:39] Joker_-_, I rebooted but sound still played [17:39] JonathanEllis: i just noticed that the gid=users in the fstab, but there is no group called users, do you think i should switch that to be my login ID since my user belongs to a group of the same name? [17:39] ottoshmidt: then it's not gmd related. [17:39] (I know Ubuntu is not Windows, and that's why I like it better), but is there a reason why my windows installation, the mouse never fails, but my ubuntu installation the mouse dies at least once per day?

Are you moving these files regularly or just once? If just once, I would suggest using sudo cp and once you have the files on your desktop you could use sudo chown [17:40] and all failed excepting ps2 but I broke it like a dummy [17:40] All, Good link/URL to HOWTO for DNS setup please!

[17:48] vittorio: it does not matter how you configure xorg........ it will fail, check your syslog, usually you will see an infinite usb reboot loop [17:48] IdleOne: I,m at work, helping people during my lunch hour, in a screened sshed irssi, can you just tell me the cmd? :P [17:48] vittorio: not actually rebooted, just keep trying to recognize device [17:48] genii: dhcp [17:48] Gnea: it's installed i can start vm but it doesnt work because i need to configure it for my kernel, which i can do by running vmware-config-pl [17:48] just cant find it though [17:49] Joker_-_, I don't use irssi but let me look it up real quick [17:49] vittorio: do you see message in syslog like *error * -64 * [17:49] TbotNik: Then any changes to the resolv.conf will be moot if you restart netwroking, the dhcp server will just overwrite them to what was before [17:49] lmartin92: well ubuntu 8.10 does recognize my ps/2 mouse, but it does not work... [17:49] IdleOne: thx, you'll be rewarded for helping me. Dont ask how nor when tho.

[17:50] lmartin92: they told me there's a string to stop the loop and fix it 'cause it's a fake loop [17:50] UnknownUser56: so you got it working? [17:50] genii: Running ifconfig to see what I have now. [17:50] vittorio: my ps/2 mouse works (or did work before I tried to fix a mouse problme on it that didn't really affect the computers recognition of the mouse and usage problems was not cuased by the mouse [17:51] vittorio: what is that string? [17:51] inxs: repeating your original problem doesn't solve anything, it only makes the problem worse. all I'm asking is, what is your definition of a 'bundle'? what is the name of the file that you installed? and did you install it as a regular user or as root? [17:51] TbotNik: If your adaper is on dhcp and your dns does not work, look instead to the router which assigns the numbers to the computer. Because it passes on whatever dns info it gets this way [17:51] Hi [17:51] lmartin92: I'm still looking for that string on the web, 'cause they just told me the new, but nothing more, sorry [17:51] Joker_-_:just in ,http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/76833 ,annoying annoying [17:52] Joker_-_, type /help ignore it should give you enough info to figure it out [17:52] genii: Current ifconfig at PB: http://pastebin.ca/1266784 [17:52] Hi [17:52] IdleOne: oh thx already figured it out, thx to UnknownUser56 [17:52] vittorio: what's the string? and yes, it is pretty much fake because no power is supplied to any of my devices. I think the error is that no message from plugged in component got sent to computer and so it keeps retrying thinking its allowed power to device when it hasn't [17:53] lmartin92: so do you know how to "downgrade" the fix to improve the mouse? I've got 2 PS/2 mice and both of them do not work, although they're recognized... [17:53] Joker_-_, #irssi [17:53] on my time and weather applet on the gnome bar, it never shoes the weather or temperature. It makes a little extra space in the gnome-panel to do so, but it shows nothing, is there a fix for this? [17:53] genii: Does not appear that ifconfig gives the DNS, how do I check? [17:53] TbotNik: What happened to your eth0 and eth1 ? [17:53] ZuckusFIll, try re-adding the city [17:54] i just installed ubuntu on OLD hardware. we ONBOARD network card is not detected and we couldn't find MAC adress (to manually setup network controller) --- how do we get his onboard network to work? [17:54] hey [17:54] vittorio: try rebooting your computer without usb mouse plugged in. but leave your ps2 mouse connected (should work); also, you can have both plugged in at same time at boot time and it will recognize and let you use both; [17:54] lmartin92: the string has something to do with usb booting and usb recognizing, but I'm not a genius with strings, sorry [17:54] genii: Not connected. Server use to do load balancing, but now at customer site to be temp platform for web dev. [17:54] vittorio: who told you the string? [17:54] how d'ya manually install an old onboard network card which is not detected ? [17:55] IdleOne: didin't fix it [17:55] TbotNik: If eth2 is on dhcp, then try to renew the dhcp and see if the resolv.conf gets updated. eg: sudo dhclient -r eth2 && sudo dhclient eth2 -then try ping something by name like google.com [17:55] lmartin92: they from ubuntu Italy told me 'bout the string... [17:55] would knowing the mac adress help? [17:55] Gnea: VMware.Workstation.v6.5.0.118166.Linux.x64.bundle, installed it as root. [17:55] but they logged out [17:55] UnknownUser56: "grub-install /dev/sda" I guess? [17:55] any one who can help me out with ISO's? [17:55] genii: Don't worry took out all the load balance stuff, just did not physicall remove other two NICs. [17:55] UnknownUser56: or sda1 or whatever [17:55] u83rmensch: whats your issue with ISOs? [17:55] vittorio: I don't speak italian and it'll annoy them if I'm in their speaking english [17:55] Joker_-_:brb shower :) [17:55] u83rmensch: What about ISOs are you finding troublesome? [17:55] when i mount an iso all hte files in the ISO have a " ;1 " at the end.. why? [17:56] no idea. [17:56] or even just open it in the archive manager [17:56] ZuckusFIll, you can try removing the applet and re-adding it. [17:56] but when i put an actual disk in the drive its fine [17:57] lmartin92: now I try to reboot with both mice (PS/2 and USB) and hope that the PS/2 will work when I'll plug out the USB one [17:57] ok [17:57] how do i install an undetected onboard network card? (old) could i try using some other live version of linux (suse, knoppix etc) and hope it's being detected and then get configuration details (macadress etc) from there? [17:57] IdleOne: also didn't fix it, does this work for anybody? [17:58] genii: Whoa! Now Ping www.google works, but SSH is down. [17:58] ZuckusFIll, mine works fine [17:58] ZuckusFIll, what version of ubuntu? [17:58] lmartin92: you can't annoy'em if you write in english, the worst thing you can have is an answer in a bad english if they they're the "typical italians" [17:58] 8.10 [17:58] maybe it's the city I'm trying to use is messed up? [17:58] genii: Been controlling with Putty from Win box and now doesn't work. [17:58] TbotNik: You trying to ssh into a lan box on different network segment or something? [17:58] s [17:58] vittorio: how do I join? #ubuntu.italy? [17:59] ZuckusFIll, possible. try using the closest city to yours [17:59] can anybody else here install the "isns" to install package?

[17:59] lmartin92: gotta log out from here... wish you good luck, man!!! [17:59] vittorio: thanks [18:00] Is there any way that I can set the maximum amount of memory that can be used by a process and kill that process automatically if it exceeds it? Ideally this could be defined as default but allow a list of exceptions [18:00] IdleOne: correct :) [18:00] TbotNik: If you are going to be ssh-ing a lot consider setting the router to assign same IP by MAC address always to the box so it's accesible [18:00] A good mp3 player? [18:00] IdleOne, that didn't work, I even tried New york City, and it still isn't showing up [18:00] genii: Quote ==> "TbotNik: The dhclient command will likely have given it now a different IP than it had previously" thought I had the iptables set for it to be static, that was the intent. [18:00] ZuckusFIll, beats me. [18:00] ok [18:01] thanks for the help [18:01] it didn't work for me in hardy either [18:01] I was hoping intrepid would fix it [18:01] I didn't upgrade either, I reinstalled [18:01] TbotNik: You either have a static IP or you have a dynamic IP. You said earlier the adapter is set dhcp. So that means dynamic [18:01] egoleo, Pici, bazhang, genii: At least now the "apt-get update" ran like scalded dog. [18:01] ok [18:01] good [18:02] TbotNik: iptables doesn't have anything to do with how your adapter gets its IP [18:02] hi [18:02] ubuntu is quite long to boot (1mn30), I would like to disable modules I don't need [18:03] genii: You are right, went to 192.168.1.214, but has to be on static of 192.168.1.70 as DNS from firewall will be routing ouside traffic to it, for test web dev.

Either manually on the box itself in the /etc/network/interfaces file, or as I described. Tell the router to always give the box same IP, based on it's adapter's MAC address. [18:10] Oh nvm.. It just took like half an hour to proceed. Only it proeceeded to load into the built-in shell "BusyBox".. And it pops up some kind of error with a lot of numbers and "ata1.00:" in front of everything [18:10] TbotNik: The router method is preferred, since it makes the box portable [18:11] what is AT SPI Registry Wrapper?

[19:13] !aptitude | qneo [19:13] qneo: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [19:13] it's scanning lol [19:13] w0ls0n: and then replacing your xorg.conf with the resulting file [19:13] mneptok, nothing come up [19:13] ikonia: Even though 8.10 comes with the newer version, still have to wait for a package on the old one?

[19:16] someone knows modprobe? [19:16] you may have to sudo Xorg -configure [19:16] cyr1: let's try xfix first [19:16] mneptok : I think he has, I dont think its detecting the card by default, hes been here most of the day [19:17] * mneptok isn't even sure there's an X.org driver beyond VESA for that chipset [19:17] but you could certainly reboot and go into the recovery stuff for kicks [19:17] mneptok : hah me neither [19:17] Hey there, I have a process that's taking up 100% of my CPU (It's a computational program that I am running on purpose). I reniced it to 19 so it doesn't freeze my system - but it still does freeze my system when the processor goes to "IOWait". My process writes to disk once every minute or so, so it's quite irritating. Is there a way for me to correct this? Thanks. [19:17] anyone? [19:18] well running configure first [19:18] then ill try the fix [19:18] leeping2008: try "ionice" perhaps [19:18] just see if it looks like it provides a config file you can reference [19:18] mneptok: there is it is called "sis" [19:18] well there is a sis xorg but [19:18] what does it support [19:19] cyr1: man sis [19:19] LjL, would it be: "ionice -c 3 -p pid"?

What would the correct syntax to do that be? ive tried many variations of [url]http://www.example.org[\url] without success.

Thanks in advance [19:20] p.s. the configure wont replace your xorg conf [19:21] uman: join #html [19:21] I have a .deb file that was made to install on ubuntu, to install it would I just sudo aptitude install filename.deb ? [19:21] it will just put one in the cwd called xorg.conf.new [19:21] cyr1, so running the xfixx wont do anything either? [19:21] !gdebi | arquebus, no [19:21] arquebus, no: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [19:21] arquebus, yes or double click it [19:21] Hi community, how do I point Opera to the already installed sun-java6-plugin (in Hardy Heron)? [19:21] LjL-ok thanks [19:21] IdleOne: aptitude will install local .debs? [19:21] This i my first IRC chat and I am already falling behind with the text [19:21] w0ls0n might, i was just saying after running -config you have to copy the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (back up the original) [19:22] i want to run a scheduled task as root. ideas? [19:22] tesseracter_: cron [19:22] xfix will potentially try and auto-detect again [19:22] LjL, ummm I think so, perhaps i am wrong but double clicking will do it.... [19:22] I'm gonna shut off my vmware box and then reboot [19:22] !cron | tesseracter_ [19:22] tesseracter_: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [19:22] tesseracter_: scheduled? as in /etc/crontab? [19:22] phoenix-mobile-1: don't try to keep up, just pay attn to when your nick is highlighted, those that are used to it will be able to follow along [19:22] gargamelle?

[19:23] Text is scrolling by a little too fast for my liking, but I beleive someone was asking a question about how to put a put a link in an HTML file?

[19:23] phoenix-mobile-1, it was uman [19:23] erUSUL, LjL: im using cron, but how do i use it to execute something as root? [19:23] cyr1- yup, done that [19:24] cyr1: maybe a less radical aproach is disable it... «sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove» [19:24] idleone what was me? [19:24] tesseracter_: you either put it in /etc/crontab, or you "crontab -e" as root [19:24] someone can help me with modprobe [19:24] uman, asking about the html link thig [19:24] ? [19:24] tesseracter_: in /etc/crontab you can define the user that the process will run as [19:24] uman: off topic here... but link [19:24] cyr1: permanent http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963914&highlight=Remove+Pulseaudio [19:24] erUSUL : nod it keeps hanging up for some reason, and alsa seems to work well enough [19:24] fde, thanks a million [19:24] cyr1: http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/11/fix-for-no-sound-issue-in-ubuntu-810.html [19:24] LjL, ok, thanks.

And why can't I set ionice to the "idle" setting without root permission?... is there a reason for this? [19:25] I have a strange error while inserting a new module (my wireless drivers) into the kernel. When I do a depmod followed by a modprobe it failes saying there are unknown symbols in the module, it's dependencies are loaded though. When I insmod each dependency then the module itself it works ... Any idea how I could add the module permanently to the kernel so it's allready there at startup ? [19:25] for HTML links, in web pages, you have to use the tag with "href" [19:25] fde, it didnt work though.. i see the link, but its not clickable... [19:26] uman: join #html [19:26] hi, while I watch streaming videos (from youtube, megavideo and from other places) when I fullscreen the video it always unmaximize itself. can anyone tell me how this is happening please? [19:26] leeping2008: in "top", i haven't the slightest idea... you can use "ionice" without the "-c" option to see a process's current priority, though. i don't know about the being root thing... i think i read what the reason was somewhere, but i don't quite remember it. it seems counterintuitive doesn't it [19:26] uman or #web [19:26] uman: you have to declare it as an html document... as I said though, its not applicable to this channel... do as ikonia says please [19:26] hi, someone have a page where the comunity structure be explained? [19:27] LjL, yeah it's weird.. with -c2 -n7 my system is still freezing up. I will set it to -c3 with root and see what happens. :) [19:27] uman, are you trying to put a link a web page or put a link in the this chat room (new IRC, having trouble following) === littlepinkdot is now known as AidenXi [19:27] never mind [19:27] fde, i know, i did make it an html file but for some reason it did not work the first time i opened the file, second time was the charm thanks [19:27] uman: this is not for this channel [19:27] phoenix-mobile-1 wanna put a link in an html file problem fixed [19:28] uman: please join a more appropriate channel such as #web or #html [19:28] hello can any1 help me [19:28] ikonia, already did sheash [19:28] It appears that with -c3 my system is no longer freezing up. thanks for the solution :))) [19:28] I'm sorry, uman, but this doesn't seem to be a developers channel [19:28] !help > d|g|taL-G|rL [19:28] d|g|taL-G|rL, please see my private message [19:28] d|g|taL-G|rL: What is it? [19:28] uman: you have to say at least at the beginning of the document... please stop asking here though [19:28] uman: great, thank you [19:28] hi, while I watch streaming videos (from youtube, megavideo and from other places) when I fullscreen the video it always unmaximize itself. can anyone tell me how this is happening please? [19:28] d|g|taL-G|rL, ask a question and will see [19:28] hello. what command using terminal can I use to see all TCP/IP connections to my computer (ubuntu). I use netstat, but a whole bunch of irrelavent stuff appears. [19:29] jamie_k_: thats a tcp connection, so it's not irrelivant [19:29] jamie_k_: sorry that was for you [19:29] leeping2008: it would appear from some googling that "idle" can only be set by root because of the risk of priority inversion - but i'm not sure how that could actually happen. it also seems that'll be changed in a newer kernel [19:29] does ubuntu have something that works like ctrl+alt+del? sometimes firefox freezes my desktop and I lose my mouse and cant do anything [19:29] jamnz I am not sure, but I think it's nm-tool [19:29] jamnz: I like the output via 'netstat -plaut' ... but all netstat does is list connections... so nothing there is irrelevant to what you want to see [19:29] Hello !! [19:29] arquebus - try ctrl+alt+backspace [19:29] arquebus, alt-F4 will close active window [19:30] how are you today ? [19:30] phoenix-mobile-1: ok thank [19:30] ctrl+alt+backspace restarts x server [19:30] IdleOne: will try that [19:30] phoenix-mobile-1: But ctrl+alt+backspace will practically kill the whole session [19:30] I know that [19:30] phoenix-mobile-1, not sure he wants to restart X everytime his mouse freezes but it's a dirty fix I guess [19:30] arquebus: you can always ctrl+alt+F1 - F2 - F3... to get to a console, then "ps -A" to see the processes and then "killall process_name" to kill the bugged application. [19:30] phoenic-mobile-1: While ctrl+alt+del in Windows lets you open task manager [19:31] LjL, hmm interesting. :) I don't really see how setting this priority will somehow lead to dangerous behavior -- I'm certainly not running it on a system process! I will let you know if something happens, though. [19:31] Joker_-_: oh yeah, I forgot about those consoles in the fkeys, thanks [19:31] arquebus: np [19:31] I use CTRL+ALT+Fx , where 'x' is a number [19:31] Or for a more graphical approach, what about the System Monitor? [19:31] here's a weird one, hoping someone else has seen it: hardy ubuntu server install, no X. everything works fine if the monitor is connected, won't boot past 'starting up' grub msg w/out it, disabling splash, quiet, setting vga=normal all had no effect. It's apparently not loading the kernel when vga isn't connected. [19:31] Teisei: you can make ctrl+alt+del open gnome-system-monitor too... although by default it wants to log you out [19:31] while I watch streaming videos (from youtube, megavideo and from other places) when I fullscreen the video it always unmaximize itself. can anyone tell me how this is happening please? [19:32] I have Ubuntu 8.10 on CD for install, machine locks up when I try to boot of CD (had windows 2000 installed if that matters, shouldn't). Gets thru about 40-50 seconds of install after Ubuntu main menu for install and other options. Both cold and warm boot does same. Also locks up on Live CD run instead of install. Machine is Toshiba ( http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/toshiba-satellite-a105-s2141/4507-3121_7-31982426.html?tag=mncol;psum [19:32] Also tried forcing console to serial with equal lack of joy [19:32] germans set off a nuclear bomb in 1908 [19:32] fde: But it still doesn't work if you have a frozen full screen application [19:32] d|g|taL-G|rL: pretty much appears to be a feature to me... you might wanna ask someone that knows about the plugin you use in your browser. probably flash or something like that [19:32] <|MUSE|> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/92553/ << could someone look at this and tell me what is going wrong? [19:32] Al203 - all I can tell you is to download and burn the ISO file again [19:33] Al2O3, looks like either your CD drive is on "Quiet" or "Slow" mode, or the max CD drive speed is too slow and you need to use the alternate CD. [19:33] will do :) thanks. [19:33] Teisei: yeah... I usually go to a terminal and kill it [19:33] Al2O3, try the Alternate install CD [19:33] I did burn it on max speed on a mac. [19:33] I'll try burning slower speed. [19:33] fde: CTRL+ALT+F1 forever ;) [19:33] and also try the alternative CD if that doesn't work. [19:33] Al2O3, that was probably the problem. [19:33] thanks, never even thought about burn speed. [19:33] Al2O3, slow burn will give better results [19:33] thanks guys! [19:33] Al203 - For the burn speed, I have personally had success with 8x [19:33] is there a program like remote desktop to connect two ubuntu desktops? [19:33] Same. [19:34] dragorn: maybe in #ubuntu-server [19:34] OB1FoShoB: it,s called remote desktop, yeah ;) [19:34] OB1FoShoB, yes. Go to System > Prefrences > Remote Desktop [19:34] whats up guys [19:34] guys [19:34] cdroms rock, especially with certain media that are advertised to go to 28x but almost never do [19:34] what s up [19:34] er 48x [19:34] !vnc | OB1FoShoB [19:34] hi guys, i want to install p54usb drivers to my Wifi USB adapter. how do i do it? i tried modprobe -i p54usb and modprobe p54usb. iwconfig shows nothing [19:34] OB1FoShoB: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [19:34] OB1FoShoB, There you can go ahead and customize remote desktop [19:34] erUSUL: fair enough [19:34] it connects ubuntu to ubuntu? [19:34] who is still in 8.04????????????? [19:34] y === di9it is now known as lilla_py [19:34] linxuz3r: do you have a question [19:35] OB1FoShoB : think of it sorta like remote desktop [19:35] OB1FoShoB: it connects your ubuntu box to anything using vnc (tightvnc in windows for example) [19:35] OB1FoShoB: yes... System > Preferences > Remote Desktop is the server part... Applications > Internet > either Terminal Server Client for VNC and RDP, or whatever the gnome one is that just does VNC (I removed it but its there by default) [19:35] yea [19:35] with rdesktop, do i need to open router ports? [19:35] OB1FoShoB: yes [19:35] is it worthit to upgrade to jaunty jackalope? [19:35] linxuz3r: no [19:35] 8.10? [19:35] OB1FoShoB: 5900 by default [19:35] linxuz3r: as that release does not yet exist properly [19:35] Bonsoir [19:35] ikonia: no or not yet [19:35] linxuz3r: januty is not 8.10 [19:36] ??? jaunty jackalope?! [19:36] linxuz3r: "no" [19:36] anyone know if the unr usb image downloadable from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR is based on hardy or intrepid ? [19:36] linxuz3r: jaunty is 9.04 [19:36] jacklope... lol [19:36] oh [19:36] fuckky buddy with woods [19:36] what is 8.10? [19:36] OB1FoShoB: if its outside the lan at least... rdesktop's client is tsclient though, its pretty nice [19:36] *bunny [19:36] Joker_-_: please control your language [19:36] linxuz3r: intrepid? [19:36] Intrepid Ibex [19:36] that ofcourse [19:36] Currently using it, I should know [19:37] is it worthit to upgread to ibex intrepid? [19:37] 8.10 [19:37] linxuz3r: depends on your wants and needs [19:37] 8.10? [19:37] linxuz3r, up to you, if you're content with what you have now no need to. [19:37] is it broke? do you need something thats in intrepid? [19:37] i need vmware and thats about it [19:37] That also depends on what kind of computer you have [19:37] vmware should work in intrepid [19:37] i have p5n-esli quad core [19:37] linxuz3r, upgrade away then, VMWare works fine in Intrepid. [19:37] and below [19:37] linxuz3r: if you're currently using hardy, and you don't want to upgrade every 6 months roughly, I wouldn't recommend it, the changes are pretty small... although in saying that, I'm currently using it [19:37] ikonia: that was a typo, I meant funny bunny with woods : jacklope [19:38] Joker_-_: fair enough [19:38] who serves the packages from older release of ubuntu [19:38] intrepid xorg is a bit better at autodetection, except when it isn't ;-) [19:38] the repository [19:38] linxuz3r: ubuntu does [19:38] linuxz3r: then you go for it, I suppose [19:38] i have intrepid ibex installed in my ps3 [19:39] linxuz3r: every repo has the packages for every dist that is still supported... many even have legacy stuff still [19:39] linxuz3r so then you know whats it it [19:39] linxuz3r: and you dont need to know if it's worth ut [19:39] it [19:39] yeah [19:39] im stcking with 8.04 [19:39] what about you ikonia what version are you using [19:39] linxuz3r: that doesn't matter [19:40] ikonia, runs gentoo :P [19:40] where does iptables log the errors normally? [19:40] One important thing, though. I don't know about anyone else, but I have personally had various issues with upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10. Do a fresh install of 8.10 on a seperate partition (or another drive if you current one isn't big enough) [19:40] thank u all for the info on remote access, can't wait to connect to friend's pc and help turn another windows kid over to nix :) [19:40] ubuntu 8.04 is crashing right after an CDR is burned (k3b). No entries in /var/log/messages, short freez then reboot. How could I search on launchpad if this bug already is reported? [19:40] phoenix-mobile-1: those issues are bugs, I hope you reported them [19:40] linxuz3t, have you looked at virtualbox instead of vmware ? [19:40] ok, my 8.04 to 8.10 upgrade is almost done, except at the end i get "errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-2.6.27.7-generic... and some other linux-* files" [19:40] fde: I did [19:40] dpkg returned error code (1) [19:41] Ibex is working great on the Acer Aspire One ,next one should support the wifi , ath5k ;) thanks guys for a nice stable distro [19:41] lol [19:41] Sorry for laughing but that was one of the issues I had [19:42] could I inrease some loglevel to get a glue on what is went wrong? [19:42] brubelsabs, what abount /var/log/syslog? [19:42] somebody use notebook hp pavilion dv6000? [19:42] If you did a fresh install on a seperate partition, you could have avoided that issue. [19:43] fluvvell: no.. the last that I get is, that no tracks on CD are found (which is normal since the CDR was empty before I wrote the Image down to it) [19:43] I don't know about anyone else, but have gotten into the habit of reinstalling everything whenever I "upgrade" to the next version of Ubuntu. [19:44] fluvvell: Nov 25 20:21:28 home kernel: [ 3387.747535] cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! [19:44] hi all [19:44] That's why I keep my home directory on another partition [19:44] brubelsabs, do you have an alternative cdwriter you could throw in to try? [19:44] brubelsabs, or one you could borrow? [19:44] one more ques, is pulseaudio worth messing with in 8.10, had numerous headaches with it in 8.04 [19:44] fluvvell: no, sorry. I could try under windows to see if its a Hardware defect [19:45] brubelsabs: that msg is normal when you insert a balnk cd [19:45] brubelsabs: please do [19:45] ok will be back soon :/ [19:45] brubelsabs, i'm guessing its crashing at the eject [19:45] LjL, thanks, got it all in GUI via gksu gnome-schedule. then i had to make sure root owned the scripts i was calling, otherwise it would be pretty easy for someone to put extra line to get root in there... [19:45] That is a common problem with other distros [19:46] hi guys, i want to install p54usb drivers to my Wifi USB adapter. how do i do it? i tried modprobe -i p54usb and modprobe p54usb. iwconfig shows nothing [19:46] anyone know how to make a folder read-only on command line?

According to chmod --help, I should be able to issue the command chmod -R a-w but having done that I can still create & modify files within the folder [19:48] Cripps, it worked perfectly fine on gentoo [19:48] nixbox: I have had plenty of problems with Radeon graphics cards, but I don't see why GNOME would be slow, did you do a fresh install? [19:48] l337ingDisorder: do you want to make it read only for EVERYONE or just specific users/groups [19:48] new intrepid OOo 3.0 debs uploaded a few min ago to ppa [19:48] phoenix-mobile-1, yes very fresh, the latest, i have applied all the latest updates as well [19:49] phoenix-mobile-1, it should be on the right side of the screen, if not, hit ctrl+f7 [19:49] (the user list) [19:49] l337ingDisorder: chmod 444 [19:49] ikonia: well ideally readonly just for the user 'kiosk' [19:49] phoenix-mobile-1, it seems to be an issue with graphics somehow, because the GUI is not as fluid as it was in gentoo [19:50] l337ingDisorder: put the user "kios" in a specific group and do chown to change the group to kiosks group and then do thmod 740 [19:50] nixbox: Well, if it is fresh, as in completely reformatted the drive and deleting all the hidden folders from your home directory before the install (if you keep /home on a seperate partition), then I have no clude why it would be slow [19:51] ok, i have gone through a _very_ wonky update from 8.04 to 8.10, is there something i can run to check if my system is sort of ok? [19:51] Speaking of which, your system specs are great [19:51] have an odd question about Gnome (on Hardy)... when Exaile closes (or if I kill the process), it crashes my Gnome theme... logging out of the desktop and back in fixes the issue, but I'm wondering if there's a cache for the theme that I can refresh... [19:51] nixbox, could be the drivers, or it could be gentoo had some amazing unobvious compiler option set. [19:51] bakarat : did it reboot & work? [19:51] phoenix-mobile-1, its completely fresh, no data retained from previous install [19:51] cyr1, well...ye [19:51] so, does anybody know why a binary with execute flags enabled, belonging to an unprivileged user can't be executed by anybody (that includes the root-user)? [19:51] cyr1, but i have run into a MASSIVE array of problems upgrading (most of it my fault though :D) [19:51] Cripps: show me ls -la of the file [19:52] cyr1, and i'm afraid something could be broken, but in a way not immediately visible [19:52] I was configuring Pulseaudio and solved a prob, but Login Successful sound now doesn't play [19:52] tesseracter_, i suspect drivers, with so much resources gnome should be quite responsive [19:52] bakarat : well what I was getting at is if it rebooted, and came up, in all likelihood its in pretty good shape [19:52] ikonia: hmm ok thanks I'll have to research group management in linux I guess.. I figured you'd be able to do that with the user. [19:52] tesseracter_, hell KDE was much better on gentoo than gnome right now is on my ubuntu machine [19:52] nixbox: the only thing I can think of is maybe it was a bad burn. It doesn't happen very often but, but a bad burn will sometimes install okay [19:52] then stop working [19:52] ikonia, located at the bottom of this paste: http://www.pastebin.ca/1266868 [19:52] im having trouble doing a checkout from SVN, is there a way to putty in and see what my permissions are? [19:53] ikonia, it's actually ls -l .... but they produce the same output. [19:53] im not that great with shell commands [19:53] Still can't load grub ( error 17 )even after restoring and editing some files which had apparently been erased while booting to Windows .. maybe it's the config file that should be edited instead of the menus.lst but I'm at a miss .. here's fdisk-l&&part of menu.lst that may be of help ,http://paste.ubuntu.com/76888/ ,please give a suggestion to resolve this issue [19:53] ikonia: I just tried chmod -R 444 and it's still letting me create files in the folder [19:53] coffee1 try an appropriate developer forum [19:53] ok [19:53] nixbox, well, you might need to try a few ATI drivers to find one that works. they release it a 3 phase cycle, so you might need to go back a few to before they broke something. [19:53] #python-fr [19:54] in nvidia settings manager which setting is to clone the screen to the other one? [19:54] my evolution crashes on calendar view, is it a know issue ? (ubuntu 8.10) [19:54] tesseracter_, i will try that, i just reduced the visual effects to no effects at all, and now its more responsive, behaving better [19:55] Cripps: do you have a separate home partition? maybe it is mountd noexec? is this on a nfs share? [19:55] android60, I think it's TwinView. [19:55] x-kent: had the same problem, but when I erased all the hidden files from my home directory (aka all configuration) it worked just fine [19:55] Are there any good image editors out there? I do not care for gimp, and I can't get photoimpact to install, nor photoshop [19:55] nixbox, that DEFINITELY has an effect. [19:55] is it possible to setup repos on hardy to be able to grab opera from the i386 partner repos on an amd64 system [19:55] phoenix-mobile-1, hmmm, gonna try moving them [19:55] erUSUL, it is a separate home partition ... I can try changing the mount options and remounting it to see if that makes a difference. [19:56] x-kent: I was just about to tell you to back them up [19:56] jetsaredim: unlikely, you can't install i386 debs on amd64 arch [19:56] Cripps: well if the parition is noexec it will make a difference... check the output of "cat /proc/mounts" [19:56] calc: so no opera for amd64? [19:56] jetsaredim: you could unpack them manually into /usr/local or something like that if you wanted to though [19:56] where does iptables log the errors normally? [19:56] jetsaredim: not sure if there is opera for amd64, just responding to the technical bit about i386 debs on amd64 arch [19:56] n8tuser: Hello! Maybe you've figured out something about my yeasterdays network issue? [19:57] hmm ok [19:57] erUSUL, ahh, there it is ... either "defaults" or "user" include "noexec" [19:57] phoenix-mobile-1, I had "mv .evolution evo" didn't help, segmentation fault :-( [19:57] x-kent: Another thing is that you should be cautious when doing any modification to your config files, especially by hand [19:57] thanks. [19:57] * calc uses firefox himself [19:57] Still can't load grub ( error 17 which in this doesn't seem to mount because apparently the root is not valid )even after restoring and editing some files which had apparently been erased while booting to Windows .. maybe it's the config file that should be edited instead of the menus.lst but I'm at a miss .. here's fdisk-l&&part of menu.lst that may be of help ,http://paste.ubuntu.com/76888/ ,please give a suggestion to resolve this issue [19:57] Cripps: no problem [19:57] osxdude|laptop: that seems to just extend the desktop [19:57] Cripps: it is "user" as i do not have that issue [19:57] android60, What other options are there? [19:57] Are there any good image editors out there? I do not care for gimp, and I can't get photoimpact to install, nor photoshop [19:57] x-kent: The problem could also be cause by installing and removing packages, such as desktop environments [19:58] Bear-Lt -> what is the issue again? explain again please [19:58] phoenix-mobile-1, strange thing is that my mail accounts survived the move... is there a config file somewhere elso ? [19:58] osxdude|laptop: separate x screen or something like that [19:58] but that doesnt do anything [19:58] android60, I think Seperate X Screen is what you want [19:58] okay, gonna go log out so I can remount the partition. [19:58] x-kent: Possibly. I've been using Linux for the past 4 years and I still can't find all the config files for anything! [19:59] phoenix-mobile-1 :-) === damiew is now known as damiew78 [19:59] n8tuser: my laptop couldn't contact with the gateway. On ping always showed "Destination Host Unreachable" [19:59] Still can't load grub ( error 17 which in this doesn't seem to mount because apparently the root is not valid )even after restoring and editing some files which had apparently been erased while booting to Windows as it hung on "GRUB Loading stage2" after I did a boot command and I rebooted the machine.. fdisk-l&&part of menu.lst that may be ofsome use ,http://paste.ubuntu.com/76888/ ,please give a suggestion to resolve this issue [19:59] x-kent: I just know that 90 percent of the time, config options are stashed in the home directory of the user [19:59] how do i change the boot-time screen resolution? I'd like to boot at 1680 x 1050 so that the ubuntu splash isn't distorted [20:00] Hi, I just install ubuntu-desktop but i don't want it to start itself when i bootup my linux. i want to start X server myself whenever i want. is there anyhow i can? [20:01] BusterHymen: Good question! I always wanted know how to alter that boot splash screen, anyone know? [20:01] Bear-Lt -> can you repaste the info i need again? route -n; /etc/resolv.conf; ifconfig -a and /etc/network/interfaces file [20:01] phoenix-mobile-1: i've been using startup-manager with some success... [20:01] <|MUSE|> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/92559/ please can someone help me. This is lvm related. I can't create a volume group. [20:01] Bear-Lt -> both for your gateway and your laptop [20:01] LoveGuru: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove [20:01] Another thing I would like to know is how do I get my name to turn bright yellow [20:02] phoenix-mobile-1: found that's it a know problem at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-exchange/+bug/292163 [20:02] phoenix-mobile-1: let me put it this way, i can change the splash screen, and I can change the resolution, but it doesn't offer me my native screen resolution. [20:02] erUSUL, yep, removing "user" sure did the trick. [20:02] Cripps: ok [20:02] thanks. [20:02] BusterHymen: Looks like you might need to edit your xorg.conf file [20:02] erUSUL: after that just boot the linux? and whatever i want to start my X server so just " sudo startx " ? [20:03] or just "/etc/init.d/gdm stop [20:03] phenix-mobile-1 ... that would make sense lol. it's located in /etc/xorg.conf right? [20:03] n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/dafbd3a8 [20:03] LoveGuru: /etc/init.d/gdm start [20:03] where can i find the settings for my video card driver, i cant find them in xorg.conf [20:03] BusterHymen: just backup your original first or be prepared for the infamous xfix ritual === benzs_s is now known as benzss [20:03] LoveGuru: startx should work too but never tried so dunno [20:04] hey, anyone here using an external RAID 1 harddisk? can this raid(controller?) run ext3? [20:04] phoenix-mobile-1: aah yes. i've been there... =( [20:04] Cripps: no problem [20:04] Bear-Lt -> did you try to change the netmask to 255.255.255.0 on both the gateway and the laptop? [20:05] n8tuser: hi I have a question where does iptables create the logfile to see what is going wrong? is it in the syslog? or somewhere else? [20:05] BusterHymen: I think you should get to know VI first [20:05] dfgrsdrsg : the controller and the filesystem are not really related to each other, as long as linux can see the device you should be able to format it ext3 [20:05] phoenix-mobile-1: VI? [20:05] BusterHymen: terminal based text editor [20:05] paul68 -> it will not just log, you have to have rules in the iptable to log [20:05] phoenix-mobile-1: oh i've been using nano. is that similar? [20:06] nano is fine [20:06] BusterHymen: yes, it really doesn't matter what editor you use [20:06] n8tuser: I have these rules defined however can't find the loggings [20:06] so long as you have one that can work from the command prompt [20:06] I wrote the disc now in windows with infraRecord (also based on CDRKit).. and all went well. [20:07] where is xorg.conf located again? [20:07] n8tuser: No, I haven't tried to change the netmask, because it should work on 255.255.255.252 . Do you think it shoul'd help? [20:07] Your should also look up the commands for renaming and copying files (which I can't for the life of me remember) [20:07] paul68 -> paste your rule just for that logging [20:07] how could I investigate further? [20:07] BusterHymen: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:07] erUSUL: thank you [20:07] Bear-Lt -> try it first.. [20:07] thankyou erUSUL [20:08] Hey BusterHymen, how did you get your name to highlight? [20:08] s/infraRecord/infraRecorder/ [20:08] ever since I upgraded to 8.10 I have had huge lag spikes and connection losses with my wifi. anyone hear of similar problems? [20:08] I'm not root at gateway, I can't change it. :/ [20:09] n8tuser: I'm not root at gateway, I can't change it. :/ [20:09] phoenix-mobile-1: how do you mean? In the IRC chat? [20:09] I have one computer that is on 8.04, one on 8.10, and they both have the same wifi adapter. 8.04 runs fine but 8.10 has massive lag and connection loss about once a minute or so [20:09] even more frequently likely [20:09] yeah, what your doing now [20:09] Bear-Lt -> this is not your gateway? so how do you know the cable between your laptop and gateway is really working? [20:09] were there any default programs added to 8.10 that are using the Internet on me? [20:10] phoenix-mobile-1: I just include your name in my message and your client will automatically hilight it [20:10] is there a way I can check for programs that are using the Internet? [20:10] phoenix-mobile-1: if you put the nick of the person you are talking to in front of what you say most irc clients will highlight it [20:10] phoenix-mobile-1, yea. [20:10] for example, I can type your name in the middle of a sentence [ phoenix-mobile-1 ] and it'll be hilighted for you. On most clients, anyway. [20:10] erisco: "sudo netstat -putan" [20:10] It's my gateway, but I'm not root on it. I'm just user. Cable is good, because as I plug it into other PC with same parameters, networking works good. [20:10] BusterHymen Like this? [20:10] n8tuser: It's my gateway, but I'm not root on it. I'm just user. Cable is good, because as I plug it into other PC with same parameters, networking works good. [20:10] lol [20:10] phoenix-mobile-1: yep [20:11] yeah it's a fun little trick [20:11] anyone having experiences using ntfs-3g ? if so, good or bad? [20:11] what is cupsd? [20:11] So it appears yellow to everyone else but me [20:11] erisco: cupsd is a print daemon [20:11] erisco: the printer server [20:11] n8tuser: this is the script http://paste.ubuntu.com/76904/ line 36,43,57,65,100,108,115 and 130 [20:11] yellow? [20:11] my text is white :P [20:11] yikes why do I have that running [20:11] erisco: you need it to print [20:11] phoenix-mobile-1: yeah. in my client it's red, but most people should see their names hilighted [20:12] good thing I don't have a printer [20:12] unless they're using something with a lot of fail [20:12] paul68 : you'll have to adjust the subnet on the script to match your netmask [20:12] erisco: hahaha accidental package removal? [20:12] potentially, anyway [20:12] <|MUSE|> ok ok, where can I find help with lvm? #linux? [20:12] where do I disable the printer daemon? [20:12] hey all. I 'm running Ubuntu Gutsy and wondered if anyone knows any easy way to copy the look of my gnome programs to the kde programs I run on the same install??? [20:12] BusterHymen, why? [20:12] BusterHymen So right now, my name is hilighted to you? [20:12] cyr1: please explain? [20:12] cyr1 thanks for ur first reply, i diddnt see it at first. thanks! [20:13] well you're netmask is what, 255.255.255.252 or something? i missed it [20:13] erisco: because you said good thing you have no printer. If you remove cupsd (sudo aptitude remove cupsd) you the print daemon will be removed [20:13] phoenix-mobile-1: yes, indeed =) [20:13] cyr1: no its 255.255.255.0 [20:13] BusterHymen, I was imagining there would be a way to turn it off in the session manager or something [20:13] Bear-Lt -> how do you know if the gateway has firewall or not? [20:13] erUSUL: I just Remove gdm after that i stop that service :< but now there is nothing just black window no prompt [20:13] I beleive there is [20:13] oh, then nm, i thought you said your netmask was not a class C, sorry [20:14] I remember doing it a while ago [20:14] n8tuser: It has firewall. [20:14] LoveGuru: not even in Crtl + Alt + F1 ?? [20:14] erisco: aah. i actually don't know.... you could try using init.d [20:14] erisco: but that wouldn't be permanent [20:14] erUSUL: im using VMware i can't use ctrl+alt together. [20:14] did they toss some files around in the new kernel (so the one use in 8.10 vs the one used in 8.04) ? cause my vmware-config.pl can no longer find some files [20:14] (to rebuild its own kernel) [20:14] Bear-Lt -> then you need to find out how the firewall is configured, if it filters based on mac or otherwise [20:14] LoveGuru: rebooting does not help ? [20:15] cyr1: the eth0 has ip 192.168.3.22 and eth0 has 192.168.0.122 [20:15] n8tuser: but the root told me, that it gives the network access to the PC, who has the correct netmask and IP. [20:15] LoveGuru Do you have a host key configured? [20:15] hi [20:15] is there a way to restart the sound device dsp? [20:15] what is the command to add a user to a group from the command line? [20:15] LoveGuru I know in Virtual Box, the host key is the right Ctrl key by defualt [20:15] hey guys, i am having a problem with flash player, sometimes, it starts and runs all the way through, sometimes it starts and after like 30 seconds it turns gray, other times it just doesn't start at all, any ideas on how to fix this? it is very annoying [20:16] slayton: adduser user group [20:16] n8tuser: Tommorow i'll try to change the MAC of my laptop. If it'll work - I'll tell you. For now - thanks for the help. Gotta go to sleep :D [20:16] dayzman, you can restart alsa entirely with "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart" [20:16] hi [20:16] because it becomes busy after playing some sound in firefox... even after ff closed. [20:16] if ubuntu server is on sdb1 what would the grub configuration be for it? i have ubuntu server hardy [20:16] Bear-Lt: to change it it's very easey [20:16] easey [20:16] easy [20:16] gosh [20:16] pen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:16] ooooh! pwnd! [20:16] lol, now I'm flooding [20:16] Ben1 Don't know what to tell you about Flash. Adobe's Flash has always been slower on Linux systems [20:16] I know! I saw it too! [20:17] rustybox, i see. should restarting alsa make dsp available again? [20:17] hello? [20:17] dayzman, not sure [20:17] Oh forget this cloning my main HD with ddrescue. How many hours will it take to clone a 6 gig HD? It's been on "Splitting error areas... for like two hours." [20:17] Ben1 hello! [20:17] pen: I know. I don't wanna boot the other PC, cause it'll take lots of time and I'm very tired. [20:17] cyr1: you still here? [20:17] it isn't a matter of slow though [20:17] does everyone have this problem? [20:17] paul68 : ya, what exactly is it doing? [20:17] fluvvell: did you have an idea what I could try next? [20:17] phoenix-mobile-1, flash has always been slow on any system, especially on linux though [20:17] s/did/do/ [20:18] is there a way to reboot the kernel withpout powering down the machine? [20:18] I'm thinking it would be better to do a fresh install since all my data is on a second HD mounted as /home [20:18] What's the recommended video editor this days? [20:18] cyr1: well the thing is when I run it I can't even connect over ssh towards my server so I'm wondering what the reason is and where I can find the loggings [20:18] hi [20:18] is there any psx emulator that works with ubuntu 64 bit? [20:18] Fezzler1 : Its got bad sectors, it could take a LONG time [20:18] hey. everytime i wanna use apt-get update he stays at 0% and trys to connect to 192.168.23.1 which is the proxy in our school, but in the global proxy config the proxy is disabled because at home i dont need it. [20:18] Surfing in fierefox works perfectly but apt-get update not. is there any config of aptitude where i can disable the proxy? [20:18] hi what is the command to install gcc [20:18] hi what is the command to install gcc please [20:18] on ubuntu [20:18] samuels: aptitude install gcc [20:18] samuels: sudo aptitude install gcc [20:19] samuels: sudo aptitude install build-essential [20:19] samuels you probably want build-essential [20:19] suddenly /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup doesnt even try to compile the vbox kernel module anymore - anyone got an idea [20:19] yes build-essential is better [20:19] (all i get is the list of possible commands, it lacks setup for some weird reason [20:19] firefox always starts in fullscreen with no window borders (so no minimize, close, etc) ... why is this and how do I fix it? [20:19] cyr1> Like 24hrs? [20:19] paul68 : logs should be in /var/log maybe messages or syslog but I'm not sure [20:19] it also covers both menu bars [20:19] if ubuntu server is on sdb1 what would the grub configuration be for it? i have ubuntu server hardy [20:20] Fezzler1 : potentially, now a normal 6 g clone takes minutes, but that drive is tossing bad sectors left and right it seems [20:20] cyr1: none there at least not that I can find [20:20] * samuels thank you [20:20] * samuels bye. [20:21] Having a chmod issue here... Why would chmod 444 not make it read-only, like the manpage says it should? [20:21] paul68 : is it just ssh that gets blocked? [20:21] cyr1> It's splitting the error areas on the old driver looking for data right? So since I'm pitching that drive, can stop it and assume it is searching bad sectors that perhaps have been previously blocked as bad? [20:21] cyr1: do you see anything wrong in that script? no also internet [20:21] hey. everytime i wanna use apt-get update he stays at 0% and trys to connect to 192.168.23.1 which is the proxy in our school, but in the global proxy config the proxy is disabled because at home i dont need it. [20:21] hey. everytime i wanna use apt-get update he stays at 0% and trys to connect to 192.168.23.1 which is the proxy in our school, but in the global proxy config the proxy is disabled because at home i dont need it. [20:21] Surfing in fierefox works perfectly but apt-get update not. is there any config of aptitude where i can disable the proxy? [20:21] GreenDelta: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:21] if ubuntu server is on sdb1 what would the grub configuration be for it? i have ubuntu server hardy [20:21] erUSUL: i didn't try to reboot. let c [20:22] Fezzler1 : ya, thats probably what I'd do, just hold on to it incase you realize you had anthing important on there, and install on the other HDD from scratch (make real sure you don't install on your data drive, etc ;-) [20:22] is there any psx emulator that works with ubuntu 64 bit? [20:22] anyone? [20:22] paul68 : do those ips up top match your network settings? [20:22] cyr1> Is Hardy still the lastest and greatest? [20:23] Fezzler1 : intrepid, 8.10 [20:23] NicEXE, if you find out, i'd like to know as well :) [20:24] cyr1: as far as I know yes the eth0 has ip 192.168.0.122 and the eth1 has 192.168.3.22 so to my opinion it is ok? or do I need to change them into these ips [20:24] cyr1> Last time I did a clean install on my boot drive with the /home mounted on the second drive I goofed and had to do everything by command line. [20:24] ohh [20:24] anybody know why firefox always starts in fullscreen without any window borders and covers both of my pannels? [20:24] ahm [20:25] nobody can help with that crash? Should I post somewhere else? [20:25] fuulll scren? [20:25] i thing es f11 [20:25] aptitude. proxy configuration. http://paste.ubuntu.com/76905/ [20:25] BusterHymen, do you switch monitors? Mine does that sometimes when I switch between my 24 incher and my built-in lcd [20:25] BusterHymen, ridiculous name. [20:25] cyr1> Is there a way to have the Ubuntu install recognize the slave drive and "reconnect" the /home on drive /dev/hdb? [20:25] erUSUL: it works but.. if i did startx it start the X server but if i won't to go again on terminal then? i did /etc/init.d/gdm stop but im still on desktop [20:25] hello, how do i know which c compiler my system is using? [20:25] rustybox: no, this is a laptop. I have changed the boot-time resolution, though. could that account for it? [20:26] rustybox: lol your name could be taken in a similar vein as well =) [20:26] paul68 : just doing the 'duh' check, but eth0 is the external interface, and eth1 is internal? [20:27] Hey everyone. Need some help - my keypad doesn't work in gnome (it won't input numbers), though when logged into KDE, it works fine. [20:27] cyr1> Or I can let ddrescue run until done (2 days???) just to say I didn't. [20:27] cyr1> Did it [20:28] Fezzler1 : I'd generally just edit the /etc/fstab manually and mount it on /home [20:28] is there a way to reboot the kernel without powering down the machine? [20:28] BusterHymen, haha, didn't think of that. I have a laptop too.... when I switch from 1920x1200 to my built in lcd which is smaller it's usually fullscreen. [20:28] is there any psx emulator that works with ubuntu 64 bit? [20:28] Fezzler1 : I generally just like to keep the installer away from my data drive though, just in case [20:28] cyr1: correct [20:28] erUSUL: it works but.. if i did startx it start the X server but if i won't to go back to terminal then? i did /etc/init.d/gdm stop but im still on desktop [20:28] BusterHymen, i know there's a program devilspie that can force windows to behave in certain ways [20:28] rustybox: is there a fix besides devilspie? [20:28] cyr1> Yea, you're smart and practical....good advice [20:29] Fezzler1 : no just paranoid ;-) [20:29] BusterHymen, i don't know... maybe in gconf-editor somewhere? [20:29] hmm okay [20:29] thanks! [20:29] is there any possibility do unconfigure a proxy in apt-get? i dont need proxy but it tries to connect over a proxy... i already looked in my /etc/bash.bashrc but there is noch http_proxy oder ftp_proxy configured... someone has an idea? [20:29] in fact, I'd likely pull the power cable from my data drive rofl [20:30] hmms.. I know this isn't ubuntu, but I don't really know where to ask otherwise. I am using gedit for som programming, and I accidentally pressed som kind of shortcut, and now wherever I place the marker and there is a character beneath it, and I type, that character gets erased. How do undo this? I couldn't find anything about it in the settings. [20:30] ay^ : try hitting the insert key [20:31] LoveGuru: crtl + Alt + backspace ? [20:31] so I'll leave.. bye [20:31] cyr1: Bingo! Thanks a buunch :) [20:31] ay^ : toggles insert mode on MOST word processors [20:31] newbie to 64bit question: if you can't find a 32bit deb for a program, can you use the source to compile it for 64bit? [20:31] cyr1: I don't think I have ever used it :) [20:31] erUSUL: i m using VMware crtl+ALT shortcut won't work on it :< [20:32] With Lightning (Thunderbird Calendar Extension) why can't I create a new calendar? The GUI is just grayed out... [20:32] cyr1: to me insert is what I used to copy paste stuff from glinks to terminal windows when I didn't have a mouse :) [20:33] I couldn't get sis191 ethernet to work. Any tips? [20:33] paul68 : man I don't see anything right off, have you rebooted/flushed the rules? [20:33] Hi! I have adjusted compiz settings. Now I am unable to switch between the desktops by moving the mouse. I have moved the mouse to the right border of the desktop to switch to the right desktop. Thanks forward [20:33] Hi beloved geeks:) [20:34] I have a question about editing xorg.conf [20:34] cyr1: the purpose of this script is that all "known devices" have full access and that all "unknown devices" have limited access only access to the internet and mail [20:34] cyr1: done that didn't change a thing [20:34] I'm seeking a good way to crypt my USB key.. Any ideas? [20:34] I want to make a VPN connection but am connected via PPPoE, and now the networkmanager thinks I'm not connected and the VPN connection is greyed out. How can I manually make a PPtP connection (similar to clicking the NetworkManager icon and selecting a VPN connection) [20:34] LoveGuru: kill the xserver then... crude but effective i guess [20:35] paul68 : im wondering though, you have your LIMITED group as a subset of your WAN subnet [20:35] What is id_rsa.keystore, and how is its password managed? I don't remember seeing it prior to current Ubuntu, and can't work with it using ssh-keygen commands. [20:35] I am trying to change the display settings inside the xorg.conf file but I cannot find the settings [20:35] paul68 : er no nm, I misinterpreted [20:35] cyr1: few you got me worried for a second lol [20:36] paul68 the .3 is your internal, right? [20:36] cyr1: correct [20:36] hello, how do i know which c compiler my system is using? [20:36] and you're basically splitting the class C in half [20:36] inxs_: gcc [20:36] gcc -v [20:36] cyr1: yes I do [20:36] with the upper range of ips having limited access [20:37] thnx [20:37] anyone know how to set up bluetooth tethering in 8.10? [20:37] cyr1: yes I show you my dhcp perhaps its easier to comprehend what I want [20:38] paul68 : i got an idea, and what you're doing looks like it should work [20:38] cyr1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/76910/ ok I'm all ears [20:39] Is there a way to switch between desktop only by moving mouse to the right or left side [20:39] ? [20:39] Is there any instructions on how to install icons in ubuntu? Ive downloaded these icons, dont know what to do with them http://www.iconarchive.com/category/funny/gartoon-icons-by-zeusbox.html [20:39] Without using keyboard or mousebuttons [20:39] I'm having an issue with ALSA...basically, it's not working properly [20:40] cyr1> But is my logic correct? If I checked the old drive often and bad sectors were blocked, the the error areas ddrescue is splitting to read should have no data in them of any importance. [20:40] paul68 : I get it, basically you're hardcoding ips for some known mac addresses, but and giving them more full access, and tossing anyone else into the 'limited' bucket [20:40] cyr1> Therefore, I should be able to Press Ctrl-C to interrupt and have my cloned drive? [20:40] sophie_z: have compizconfig installed? [20:41] yes [20:41] cyr1: thats what I would like to achieve yes [20:41] Fezzler1 : honestly Im not sure [20:41] is there any place besides gnome-look.org that has themes/wallpaper/etc for ubuntu [20:41] Changing something there killed this good old feature [20:41] !ipv6 [20:41] To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [20:41] Changing back to default didn't solve it [20:41] sophie_z: pull that up, go into the desktop wall (or desktop cube, whichever you use), and i believe the option is called "edge flip pointer: [20:42] when I try to open wine's configuration tool via xterm, I get a good 20 or so lines of ALSA errors, and when I try to test sound via the sound prefs daemon, it brings up an error for ALSA, but not for pulseaudio or autodetect [20:42] Fezzler1 : I kinda doubt it though, because there's no way to know exactly which sectors housed your data [20:42] cyr1> Well, looks like it is through 6410MB of 6443MB at rate of 313 kB/s so I'm almost there. [20:42] ciao [20:42] Fezzler1 : yea I'd just let it cook [20:42] posso chiedervi una cosa? [20:42] !it [20:42] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [20:42] cyr1> At 313 kB/s, how long to complete the last 33MB? [20:43] How can I make a PPTP connection using the console? [20:43] cyr1> 30 minutes or 3 hrs? [20:43] Fezzler1 33M/313K is like 105 seconds [20:43] ConstantineXVI I have already selected in Screen Edges --> left side "Desktop wall flip left". But it only changes to the left desktop when I am moving a window === danopia_ is now known as danpoia === danpoia is now known as danopia [20:44] Fezzler1 : bet it takes longer than that though :-P [20:44] ho installato da poco ubuntu.. ma è vero che non ho bisogno dell'antivirus? [20:44] cyr1> yea! I hope it works. It would be cool to do this clone. Meanwhile, downloading Intrepid [20:45] I'm having a sound issue: when I try to open wine's configuration tool via xterm, I get a good 20 or so lines of ALSA errors, and when I try to test sound via the sound prefs daemon, it brings up an error for ALSA, OSS, and "usb audio" (what my system calls the onboard sound), but not for pulseaudio or autodetect [20:45] !it > laura_ [20:45] laura_, please see my private message [20:45] ConstantineXVI before I started playing around with compiz settings I could change between desktops only by moving the mouse (NOT moving a window) [20:45] Hi to all [20:45] paul68 : have you tried scaling back the script and trying section by section? [20:46] I new a 3gp converor program ! I can not find any program , Can any one help me? [20:46] cyr1> If the fsck blocking of bad sectors on old disk doesn't tell ddrescure to skip those, then how does ddrescue no they are "error areas"? Because it is trying o read on its ow and failing? [20:47] Fezzler1 : potentially, or you could have more 'new' bad sectors' [20:47] ConstantineXVI I have found a program in the packages "brightside" with which I can change those behavior [20:47] cyr1> Nice! [20:48] ConstantineXVI But its pretty strange that I have not had these program before.. and the behavior was as I liked it [20:48] cyr1: no I didn't since I'm new to the linux world and just working with it since the last 8 months I just run this command sh -x ./iptables.sh to see if there are errors in there but there arent [20:48] anybody know how i can speed up wine? I only use it for Office 2007, if that makes a difference [20:49] sophie_z: CCSM -> Desktop Wall -> Edge Flipping -> check everything [20:50] Hello how can i list all the installed packages, and how can i remove an installed package? [20:50] say something people [20:50] :) [20:50] cyr1> I wonder if I should have set the ddrescue "Split" option to "No" to save time since this is a true clone operation and not a data recovery? [20:50] Tankado: 1) dpkg -l 2) sudo apt-get remove package [20:50] !software | Tankado [20:50] Tankado: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [20:50] Tankado: System -> Admin -> Synaptic [20:51] thanks [20:51] !Packages [20:51] You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!

[20:51] i swear I need a -> key [20:51] how do I use a firewire camera as non-root [20:51] weird FF3 behavior in Ubuntu Intrepid...When I start up FF, it seems to take up the whole screen, covering up the top ubuntu menu bar, and even extending out to where the FF top bar is hidden as well. I can fix this by hitting F11, then F11 again, but it seems to be a pain to do that every single time. Anybody have experience with this issue? [20:51] I've added myself to disk and video groups but I can't see the camera [20:51] RickZilla: I just asked the same question not 30 minutes ago [20:52] cyr1> Seems to be speeding up, must be getting past read bad area [20:52] BusterHymen: Yeah, it just seems to have taken place with this last release of FF3 [20:52] RickZilla: i think i found somewhat of a solution... hit F11 twice to bring the FF3 window back to normal, then unmaximize it and size it down. Quit firefox, and restart it. You can then maximize it again and it'll work as before [20:53] RickZilla: as far as i can tell it works... [20:53] BusterHymen: Sounds reasonable, the bug quits after that, at least until you close out and start FF3 again? [20:53] RickZilla: the bug quits for all instances of firefox following that procedure [20:54] the only thing I haven't tested is a reboot [20:54] hi - I ftp using the command line into the same ftp site over and over again. how do I save the login credentials so I don't have to constantly retype the information? [20:54] yet... [20:54] paul68 : does ANY traffic pass at all with the script? [20:54] BusterHymen: I'll try it then, thanks. It's more annoying than anything else. [20:54] tripps: use some other ftp client, like lftp [20:54] RickZilla: yeah i hear that. Little things like that annoy the HELL out of me [20:54] Hey there. I just setup my first linux station :) [20:54] and make me understand why windows still sells [20:55] FireFTP on Firefox works great for me [20:55] fosco_, tried, for some reason this ftp server doesn't like lftp at all [20:55] ups, ncftp? [20:55] berhane_zion: welcome to the ranks! [20:55] BusterHymen : cuz M$ has a sweet deal with hardware manuf [20:55] BusterHymen: are you done trolling soon? [20:55] cyr1, ain't that the truth... that's why those who can afford it should buy system76 computers [20:56] BusterHymen: this channel is for ubuntu support issues [20:56] BusterHymen: other issues to other venues, thank you [20:56] Myrtti: would you relax? I just made one side comment as per a conversation about an ubuntu support issue [20:56] hi to all [20:56] someone knows where to get lives for ubuntu 64bit ??? [20:56] ConstantineXVI Thank you very much! You have solved the miracle problem. My preferred behavior is not compatible with the cube. But it doesn't matter - the cube is only for playing I think ;) [20:56] Myrtti: He wasn't trolling, he was helping me with a FF3 issue in ubuntu [20:56] Petengy: ubuntu.com [20:57] does anyone uses deluge on a 8.10 serve ? [20:57] server [20:57] jae686: i've attempted it [20:57] I suppose 80% of the people in here are trolls then, since most people complain about Windows at some point or another on this channel [20:57] personally I think ubuntu is as close as any distro has been to a 'grandma usable' linux distro [20:57] Petengy: oh, lives program? i understod live images, sorry [20:57] fosco_: I was talking about lives the video editing software [20:57] issues with the web UI ? [20:57] cyr1: if I know how to test it I would be more then happy to do so however I can't connect to the internet and nor ssh so my guess is that I block everything but cant verify it [20:57] cyr1: incidentally my grandma is now using ubuntu ;-) [20:58] fosco_, mmm nevermind seems to have taken this time :) [20:58] sophie_z: for the same with the cube, you go to CCSM > Rotate Cube > General > check first three boxes [20:58] fosco_: no problem :) [20:58] can two linux systems use same swap ? [20:58] BusterHymen: Ha ha...if I had been using ubuntu last year when my parents got their new Dell, I would have ordered it blank and installed ubuntu on it for them [20:58] I'm having an issue with ALSA...namely, it's not working [20:58] anyone familiar with ircd-hybrid ? [20:59] emilien_: At the same time? Or are you referring to a dual-booted system? [20:59] fosco_, well I spoke too soon. works to navigate around but won't upload files. just sits at 0% [20:59] Just between the lines here: VMware Unity-mode is GREAT !!! [20:59] Pici, dual-booted [20:59] hi everyone... who uses tilda as their default terminal? [20:59] emilien_: Then yes, they can. [20:59] Hi, I'm having some problem with my external drive. The partition name changes from time to time when i restart, which means that all my shared folders are gone.. last time it changed from sdd to sdh... Any way to make the "mount" persistent. Anyone that has any idea, I don't know if i the terminology correct.. [20:59] tehdave_: What issues? [20:59] is there a way to configure wine for better performance? [20:59] Petengy: try www.getdeb.net [20:59] paul68 : sorry i'm not seeing an issue in the script, really.. wierd [20:59] Pici, thank you have a good day / night [21:00] paul68 : looks like a pretty cool, workable idea, actually [21:00] I want to know how, to get applications to cout their console output to a new tilda terminal, and not open a gnome-terminal [21:00] RickZilla, It keeps giving me errors when I try to do sound tests via the sound prefs window, and when I try to run any programs in Wine (that can't use pulseaudio), I get a bunch of ALSA error messages in the terminal [21:00] why will ftp put a file fine but lftp won't? [21:00] fosco_: they have only 32bit package :( :( [21:00] tehdave_: You get sound otherwise, though? [21:01] RickZilla, Yeah, Pulseaudio is working just fine [21:01] Petengy: you can still use it, did you know? [21:01] Keep testing it with Amarok to make sure i'm not going crazy [21:01] tehdave_: Ok, sorry, can't help you then...I just solved some problems with alsa when I first installed Linux [21:01] fosco_: Yes I know i possible to force 32 bit but I don't know how [21:01] RickZilla, ah...wondering if reinstalling ALSA might do the trick -_- [21:02] Petengy: downloag pakcage and install it with sudo dpkg -i --force-all package.deb [21:02] then use it as ususal [21:02] ConstantineXVI there are no boxes on CCSM --> Cube --> General [21:02] fosco_: really TnX fosco :) [21:02] cyr1: thanks [21:02] RickZilla: i'm subjecting my bugfix to the reboot test. I'll keep you posted. brb [21:02] sophie_z: did you go to Rotate Cube? [21:03] cyr1: if I could just figure out where I find these loggings [21:03] Hello, is it possible now to tag a wireless connection to come up on boot with networkmanager? [21:03] i installed ubuntu using an IDE drive and all went well. I attempted to do the same using 1 sata drive instead of ide, and the install succeeded, including GRUB. However when I go to reboot, I get no grub menu, ( perhaps hidden ) and get a black screen with blinking cursor. I tried switching terminals but still black and blinking... ( no messages to see ) Any ideas? [21:04] ConstantineXVI Thank you again! There are so many settings so I am kind of lost without your help ^^ Thanks! [21:04] Hey, I'm getting this when trying to install ruby and friends on 8.10, "E: Package ri1.8 has no installation candidate"…its weird because I ran the exact same apt-get string yesterday on another server running 8.10 and it worked smoothly, so anyone any idea whats wrong please? [21:04] when I try to click "unlock" on users and groups I can't its grayed out?!?!?! [21:05] Hey guys [21:05] I've got a problem shutting down my computer [21:05] any ircd-hybrid guru's ? [21:05] Hi, I'm having some problem with my external drive. The partition name changes from time to time when i restart, which means that all my shared folders are gone.. last time it changed from sdd to sdh... Any way to make the "mount" persistent. Anyone that has any idea, I don't know if i the terminology correct.. [21:05] It gives me an authorization box saying I cant shut down with multiple users logged in [21:06] Anybody seen this before?

[21:06] i see 9.04 alpha-1 is out [21:06] RickZilla: we have a fix! [21:06] chemmmm: doing it as root works [21:06] BusterHymen: Nice job...I'll record that and use it in the future.

[21:19] sako: check BIOS power management features [21:19] thanks bustaplz [21:19] sako: i have had something like that in debian, usually if I shut down with windows open, [21:19] paul68 : look at the last line there [21:20] is it possible to "restart" aptitude? in my /etc/apt/apt.conf where some proxy configurations which i didnt need so i deleted them, but apt-get still hast the same configurations (he still wants to connect through proxy...) i already rebootet... [21:20] sako: np hope you get it figured out [21:20] bustaplz, you can only burn m4p files from itunes, and only on the itunes the DRM is regged to, even if you did this, you would be transcoding a lossy audio file to another lossy format which = very lossy resulting file [21:20] paul68 : IN=(blank) [21:20] i think it is trying to hibernate... i get the same kind of issue when i try to manually hibernate [21:20] wos: aye, I was speaking under that assumption. Host machine will be fine [21:20] hmmm [21:20] I have an external USB sound card. Sometimes it restarts and Ubuntu can't play sound. How can I tell Ubuntu to "reload" this device? [21:20] How can I limit the amount of RAM Firefox uses? I don't mind if it stores some tabs in swap, but there's no reason for it to use 256MB ram, imho. [21:20] my ubuntu system randomly restarts whenever i am playing warcraft 3 using wine.. where do i look to see where and how the system failed and shut off ? [21:20] well I've burned 2 albums from iTunes on my mac, just need to rip them into .mp3 =D [21:20] oh [21:20] well [21:21] erbi: /var/log/syslog [21:21] ryanakca, yeah would like to know that too [21:21] you can man ffmpeg [21:21] rip the files to .wav [21:21] i know there are some different ways of removing the drm but I don't want to download any special software for it really, I have a ton of CDs I need to rip anyway [21:21] then compress using lame [21:21] okay [21:21] can i save my ubuntu folder created via wubi and format my drive and reinstall the ubuntu file system from that folder that wubi created? [21:21] that should work [21:21] thanks [21:21] how do you move from a wubi install to a normal install? [21:21] heres the thing [21:22] Hi! Has anyone used NetworkManager for VPN? On my VPN tab all buttons are disabled. I'd like to establish an IPSec tunnel to my home router. [21:22] m4p are lossy files [21:22] cyr1: and where do I have to correct this error? [21:22] mp3 is a lossy file [21:22] !wubi [21:22] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [21:22] yeah I'm aware [21:22] what do i grep for ? [21:22] but hey, I made the mistake of buying from iTunes [21:22] paul68 : not sure, tryin to see if there is a typo somewhere on one of the rules, but not seeing anything yet [21:22] the resulting mp3 when transcoded from m4p/mp4/aac, will result in very poor sound quality [21:22] my files shall pay the penalty [21:22] so does wubi creat a dual boot system then [21:22] ie: lots of pre-echo [21:22] cyr1: ok [21:22] erbi: go `less /var/log/syslog` ... then look for the time towards which it happened [21:22] hi guys, i am seeing my CPU usage running @ a consistent 50% when idle... any tips on how i can trouble shoot this? [21:22] i think that seems to be an option from the auto run menu thingy [21:22] i'm gonna give it a try, see what kind of quality I can get out of it [21:23] ziggles : 'top' [21:23] i'm sorry i did it this way now. i love my current configuration for ubuntu and i doubt i will ever get it back like this again. blah. [21:23] cyr1: what should i look for? [21:23] i see mount.ntfs up there [21:23] whatever is chewing cpu [21:23] but not sure what to do about it [21:23] sambagirl, applesauce : most of the files you will really need will be in your /home, unless you have some config stuff (in /etc) that you changed. you can copy your home elsewhere and try. im not sure, though, never used wubi myself [21:23] hum [21:23] it depends on what is hogging the cpu [21:24] i guess [21:24] xorg gives 5.0 percent for cpu [21:24] zleap: if you were talking to me, i see that mount.ntfs is @ 72% right now.... i think its that bastard :) [21:24] sambagirl, you can resize the virtual partition [21:24] ryanakca i can see some output in dmesg, but irw says nothing [21:24] grub vs xfs. how to solve problems with this on a ubuntu 8.10 instalation ? [21:24] I'm not sure what action to take though [21:24] hmm [21:25] do you have a ntfs device mounted [21:25] sambagirl, check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [21:25] I have an external USB sound card. Sometimes it restarts and Ubuntu can't play sound. How can I tell Ubuntu to "reload" this device? [21:25] Is there a way to install a downloaded Theme via GUI? [21:25] is it possible to "restart" aptitude? in my /etc/apt/apt.conf where some proxy configurations which i didnt need so i deleted them, but apt-get still hast the same configurations (he still wants to connect through proxy...) i already rebootet... [21:25] yes i do, i have 2... but this is the first time i have had problems. I mount 2 windows partitions... and i *think* the prob started about an hour ago after i was booted into windws and it crashed [21:25] anyone used ircd-hybrid ? [21:25] what do i grep for in /var/log/syslog to find what caused my random computer shutdown due to wine ? [21:25] knowing that i cant mount the ntfs drives after a bad shut down like that... i rebooted into windows [21:26] thenshut down properly [21:26] <_steve_> I haven't yet found a solution for my 046d:08da webcam [21:26] <_steve_> I use Ubuntu 8.10 [21:26] ryanakca also when i try to "/etc/init.d/lirc restart" there is no output [21:26] !webcam | _steve_ [21:26] _steve_: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [21:26] Hello [21:27] Is there any way to make it autoboot onto Windows? [21:27] cyr1: can it be that it has something to do with the anti spoofing rules? [21:27] <_steve_> I have looked in a lot of places. I have a Logitech Quickcam Messenger et je suis un newbie [21:27] <_steve_> and I am a newbie [21:27] paul68 : not sure, you might try disabling those couple lines [21:28] NoIdeaMan, change the default in /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:28] cyr1: since you see only loggings concerning this subject [21:28] <_steve_> Gnea, if noone can help me (I should help myself and look), I'll be on this problem for 6 months [21:28] Change what to what? [21:28] 1 [21:28] NoIdeaMan: Yes. You must edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst There is a line default 0 which selects the first (zero-th) entry in the file. Change that zero to the number of the win entry. [21:28] ok thanks to you both. [21:29] Please can someone assit me? [21:29] _steve_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasLogitech i see it in the list there. should work just fine. what program are you trying to use with it? [21:29] How do you install a theme i have downloaded for ubuntu? [21:29] Gnea: whats your problem [21:29] NoIdeaMan, note that 0 is the first line, so you start counting from 0 [21:29] * Gnea looks at erbi [21:29] mobile: First open the theme selector from System>Preferences>Appearance... and then just drag your downloaded theme into the theme selector window. [21:30] erbi: what? [21:30] <_steve_> I have tried Skype, Chesse, amsn, and at least kopete ... probably more than that [21:30] . [21:30] I don't know about amsn or skype... cheese should work [21:30] _steve_: what about ekiga? [21:31] bartmon: it cant be that easy [21:31] can it? [21:31] _steve_: have you tried gstreamer-properties? or easy cam? [21:31] <_steve_> I think I used ekiga [21:31] anyone know why emerald-theme-manager freezes when I click on a theme? [21:31] <_steve_> I've tried a lot of things, temppy [21:31] livelyliving : sometimes its slow, have you given it some time? [21:32] mobile: Well I can tell you that it is! :) [21:32] thanks applesauce they have the solutoin right here > How do I migrate to a real partition, and/or get rid of Windows entirely? [21:32] <_steve_> gstreamer-properties is what? [21:32] cyrl, yeah it just sits there forever [21:32] _steve_: and what is the problem that you're having, exactly? [21:32] Does anyone know if there is a way of getting the currently running command in a gnome-terminal to show up as the window title for the terminal window? [21:32] _steve_: yes, but Im asking about those two programs [21:32] livelyliving : i mean I've had it 'freeze' for like 60+ seconds before [21:32] has anyone tried to encrypt ntfs partition and use it in linux? does it work? is there some tutorial on how to do it? [21:32] anyone interested here is the solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438591 [21:32] im angry..... when OpenGL or SDL goes fullscreen... i have this giant image of my cursor in the middle of the screen... how do i fix this? [21:33] sambagirl, yup there are a couple methods, hope one is not too difficult, use either the script or download lvpm [21:33] _steve_: gstreamer-props is a cli command you can run to test your cam. easycam is a program that you can download and it may install drivers for your webcam [21:33] cyrl, ok, it's frozen I'll wait :) [21:33] <_steve_> no video sent, brother in law tries to do msn with me (he has Windows) and he is told that I refuse webcam [21:33] y fait noir! nuit!!!! ... le peuple ....

[21:37] <_steve_> I see that [21:37] <_steve_> I do what with that? [21:38] you tell you cant find gstreamer properties.... what exactly you need to do? [21:38] I think he's saying that you need to use it to select your default video device for easycam [21:38] Who do I make Windows auto boot? [21:38] how* [21:38] NoIdeaMan, sudo apt-get install startupmanager [21:38] <_steve_> I did the alt-F2 [21:38] i have a problem when load kernel with ubuntu in my usb stick i need press enter for continue load system anyone have any idea?

The drop down menus let you select different sources for input. You should select your webcam, and use test to see if it works [21:40] mimor: I don't even have that. where did you pull that one from?

[21:50] is there any link to download power tweak [21:50] xcode: use synaptic [21:50] fluvvell, no it's for desktop..

[22:24] hello [22:24] sambagirl: Of course I can do this, but IF there are any problems it could be because there was an error in the download.

[22:36] Fezzler1: did you mkfs it yet? [22:36] (assuming you're creating a new partition, which is what it sounds like you're up to) [22:36] The update-pciids command updates the pci ids list.

[22:40] vladtsepesh1984: not knowing what exactly it ise, they might use pppoe or something so that you have to log in to use the connection [22:40] marius -> does it matter makes a difference if vpn tab is not active? [22:40] i dont know..... ;( [22:40] Zzeiss, i've tried a few things, apparently the only way is to format it and then rename it. but i don't wanna format it.

[22:40] vladtsepesh1984 -> go and find out information about your fastweb access and tell us, then we can assist you [22:41] Fezzler1: so you cloned only partitions not the entire drive. if you create your own table you have to guess the right parameters so that the partition is correctly used [22:41] n8tuser: buttons are disabled so i can't configure a vpn connection [22:41] zsquareplusc>> I'm boot via LiveCD [22:41] marius -> can you not use the command line?

Excellent. :) [22:52] Yes, ty. [22:53] Stargazer: yw.

For example, the neural net mode in CRM114 segfaults. But other parts work just fine. [22:56] sp219: ntp? it syncs clocks [22:56] ah, maybe [22:56] didn't see what port it was on or anything, just noticed that [22:56] sambagirl:what do u mean??

But only one CPU per process can run. So you need at least four processes to use all four CPUs. [22:57] zsquareplusc>> since I booted from LiveCD? [22:57] might as well try them.
