[00:02] ActionParsnip: ok...how to i gather what the drive is before i issue that command? [00:02] mcphail: Acrobat reader Pro runs on wine? [00:02] Fezzler1: yes, that would be best. so you dont need to change any other file. if names do not match we do need to edit something later [00:02] anybody knows if you can configure samba to be a primary domain controller for linux machines? [00:02] I was wondering the following: If you are using the EXT2/3 driver for windows, can it corrupt your ext drive if you are using journaled ext3? and if so, how do i turn off journaling for the drive? [00:02] zsquareplusc>> Yup. shows all that. [00:02] hey there, I am using some software from repository that have been updated on their official release. How can I get those updated in the repositories? [00:02] tha_toadman: sudo fdisk -l [00:02] zsquareplusc>> So hit Apply and we'll change names after?

Do i just have to configure the VMDK and vmx a certain way? [00:03] tha_toadman: look at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?chap=4&part=1 [00:03] And more, there is an free software library that I would like to see included in the repositories. How can I do that? [00:03] judgen: tune2fs controls flags such as journaling. but iirc it should work well using the ext3 as ext2 and it will automatically recover if you use it as ext3 again [00:03] zsquareplusc>> Moment of truth!?

[00:19] alguien q sepa españolll [00:19] aprilhare: or ~/.openoffice.org2 [00:19] Fezzler1: no it should not. maybe.. it thinks its mounted because it was when you started parted. you may need to restart gparted and redo the resize :/ [00:19] aprilhare: cd ~/; ls -a [00:19] zsquareplusc>> Goes on to grow filesystem to fill partition, checks again and aborts again because hda1 is mounted, Halts [00:19] aprilhare: try renaming the .openoffice folder and rerun [00:19] sweet_dreams: no.

Looking for a program that will synchronize the contents (file by file) of my usb drive and my home directory. If file.usb is newer than file.home, file.usb is the file copied to both drives. And vice versa. More complex than simply copying a drive. Any ideas? [00:22] Fezzler1: all in one should as well work. i think the problem is that it was mounted at program start. gparted only checks the drives at startup or when refresh from the menu is selected [00:22] zsquareplusc>> So the extended creates the partition and linux-swap tells it to use that space as a swap file [00:22] kkerwin try unison, thats what i use [00:22] sweet_dreams: generally means it will be a world of pain to get it working, in my experience [00:22] kkerwin: try unison [00:22] mezquitale: Heh.

[00:24] anyone one use tomcat here? [00:24] sweet_dreams: can't remember if you can add comments with pdfedit. Might be worth having a look. Quite an ugly program though [00:24] zsquareplusc>> I did them one at a time unmounting /dev/hda1 each time and it worked.

[00:29] just wanted something to pu t on the home server [00:29] rdz: yes there is some setting in /proc or /sys that sets min/max frequencies and when it has to change to the next step. don't remember the exact name though [00:29] zsquareplusc>> Since we are in gparted, can I get it to one big drive again? [00:30] mumbles: I think tomcat is very good for simple to medium tasks [00:30] Fezzler1: yes, that will be an easy one. but it'd test the resized one first [00:30] mumbles: You don't need to learn much configuration. Once we had a full version of Liferay portal running on tomcat [00:30] That system information that pops up when one logs in to the server, is it possible to get that by using a command (ie not have to log out and back in?)

[00:31] Fezzler1: or do you want to wipe the 200gb drive? i thought you meant mounting one of the partitions there [00:31] zsquareplusc: I didn't. I did have problems with my partition table weeks ago [00:31] never mind. It updates. :) [00:31] mumbles: yeah [00:31] mumbles: I worked on it about 2 year!

I just want to be able to boot into ubuntu again [00:32] mercutio22: ah so its not choosing the right "root". you may use /dev/sdaX too if you dont know the UUID. or use blkid to find out the UUID [00:33] zsquareplusc>> See, system on smaller 20gig hda and /home on hdb new 200gig safe with data [00:33] zsquareplusc>> I just want one big hdb again [00:33] rdz: looks like these are the available steps in Hz (not MHz) [00:33] mumbles: Liferay is one of available opensource java portals. check its website out [00:33] dam it reinstalling didn't work [00:33] zsquareplusc: wait up, I will paste some info for you [00:34] zsquareplusc, yeah, but how comes, that there are only 5? /proc/cpuinfo says, that there should be six steps [00:34] hi all. i'm trying to install libwnck.. it shows up in synaptic as libwnck18 but says it can't be installed. i checked my repositories and reloaded and i get the same error (Package libwnck18 has no available version, but exists in the database.)

[00:35] zsquareplusc, and i am pretty sure, that os x runs lower values, when idling, otherwise battery usage couldn't be that slow... but i am not sure, since i couldn't find a cpu freq monitor for osx. however, i suspect, that ubuntu is doing something wrong here. is that possible? [00:35] zsquareplusc: whats wrong here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/76978/ [00:36] zsquareplusc>> I don't have back-up [00:36] What does the ubuntu add-on for firefox do? it's installed by default [00:36] zsquareplusc, i can't run ubuntu for more than 1.5hours with one battery cycle, but i can run almost 5h on os x. [00:36] zsquareplusc>> Is this real risky [00:36] rdz: i have a lower limit of 1.6GHz here too. i think that's normal [00:36] zsquareplusc, ok.. surprising then... what's the point in scaling only so little? [00:36] do i restart?

As i've said I had no problems with the update earlier. [00:55] of course they're not as robust as Dreamweaver though [00:55] phrostbite, there is nvu and some others.

[01:22] tiredbones: well sdaX is one drive [01:22] histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/76989/ [01:22] !terminal > magicmax [01:22] magicmax, please see my private message [01:22] When I use the vlc plugin to play media in Firefox, I cannot put my notebook in hibernate or standby anymore, it always complains that VLC is playing media, even when VLC is long finished. It think this started with 8.10, it also happens with Ubuntustudio. Anybody got a workaround or fix? [01:22] Fezzler, whats your username on the computer? [01:22] Comrade-Sergei: I haven't used it much myself, honestly. I'd imaging "man mutt" would give you some more information about configuration. Is there a reason you cannot use an X based application? [01:23] kitche, these are tho only sda dev in /dev. [01:23] mutt ftw [01:23] how do i tell how much ram i have from the shell? [01:23] pckchem, its a project im working on to email me when my desktops IP changes so i can still VPN in [01:23] Coldhak: free -m [01:23] tiredbones: well if it's a 2nd hard drive it will most likely not be sda it would be sdb [01:23] how do you debug a problem that when there is a CD inside the CD drive my system won't boot [01:23] linux or unix ? [01:23] thanks, that's a helpful command :) [01:23] aurel42: hm. maybe the plugin inst unloaded properly. but vlc might have an option in the properties to prevent suspend/screensaver which you could switch off [01:23] it just hangs there [01:23] is ubuntulite 8.04 or 8.10? [01:23] linxeh: If you know how to use mutt well can you help out Comrade-Sergei? I'm too hooked to gmail to know much about other mail clients. [01:24] pckchem, yea man mutt was good except there is no ~.muttrc like it says [01:24] pckchem: I'd use gmail if it could store all my mail [01:24] Comrade-Sergei: create one then :) [01:24] pckchem, im going to link it to my gmail account [01:24] linxeh: Ouch! [01:24] hey, I have ubuntu alternate installed on an sd card via unetbootin, how would I use that as repository in apt? [01:24] zsquareplusc: good idea, lemme check [01:24] pckchem: I'm a hoarder. I have (and refer back to quite often) every mail since 1997 :/ [01:24] kitche, I have no sdb or any other type in /dev. [01:24] linxeh, i do i need it to go through that smtp server though [01:25] any Intrepid AND Winbind gurus here? [01:25] the default line for the cdrom is deb cdrom:[ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release amd64 (20081029.1)]/ intrepid main restricted [01:25] so do i just change cdrom to /dev/sdb1 or where it is mounted /media/sd ? [01:26] Comrade-Sergei: you cant make mutt use a specific mail server afaik, it relies on you running an MTA yourself and configuring that appropriately (ie as a smarthost). If you install exim from apt, and choose smarthost in the install wizard it should ask you for which smtp server to use [01:26] Comrade-Sergei: but i might be wrong. I've not used it in some time [01:26] if ubuntu server is on sdb1 what would the grub configuration be for it? i have ubuntu server hardy [01:26] linxeh, INSTALL WIZARD?!? [01:26] ? [01:27] Comrade-Sergei: yes. it guides you through the installation of the package... [01:27] Comrade-Sergei: like, a wizard ? [01:27] musikgoat|main i put the lid back on [01:27] linxeh, heh mine never did it just flew right by [01:27] but i turned it off too. [01:27] zsquareplusc: there's an option "suspend power management daemon" (I'm translating from German here)... I'll try to disable that, thanks. [01:27] it has 11 fans. [01:27] Comrade-Sergei: what, installing exim? [01:27] darn i got banned on offtopic [01:27] where do i go for compiz help....???.... [01:27] Comrade-Sergei: or installing mutt ? [01:27] Does anyone know a way to sync the iPod touch with linux? [01:27] thanks usser ncftp works great for my phone [01:27] linxeh, then i tried sendmail which is exim but souped up and it was just as bad [01:27] sambagirl: ok, i didn't catch anything before you asked whether to have the lid on or off, was there more to the situation? [01:28] Comrade-Sergei: sendmail most definitely is not "exim but souped up" [01:28] linxeh, mutt have me a little gui but nothing useful [01:28] how do i get back on [01:28] no i was just wondering if there was any disadvantage or advantage one way or the other basicallly. [01:28] thegeek: this is NOT the channel to discuss that. ask in #ubuntu-ops [01:28] linxeh, w/e [01:28] thegeek, /join #ubuntu-ops [01:28] :) [01:28] anyone?\ [01:29] @oracleofmist what was your question [01:29] hey, I have ubuntu alternate installed on an sd card via unetbootin, how would I use that as repository in apt? [01:29] some1 help http://pastebin.com/m534e24e3 [01:29] check aptoncd oracleofmist [01:29] linxeh, install with synaptic or apt-get in a terminal?

[01:30] Havsalt, that is not supported here; ask their forums [01:30] Comrade-Sergei: I only ever use the terminal, but if you've already installed it you'll need to purge the system of all configuration files I guess first [01:30] ubottu, odoyle and I am iin terminal I can't get the gui to come up because the initial kernel does not have my drivers [01:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:30] if ubuntu server is on sdb1 what would the grub configuration be for it? [01:30] bazhang, someone in here might know. mind if i ask? [01:30] Havsalt, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic please [01:30] linxeh, of course! [01:31] any Intrepid AND Winbind gurus here?

[01:33] tiredbones: it should already be created when it's plugged in [01:33] oracleofmist, you should try apt-cdrom command, I am just guessing [01:34] ubunteros [01:34] linxeh, ah der why didnt i think of that! [01:34] is there a wubi installer for kubuntu? [01:34] linxeh, what do i put for system mail name? [01:34] linxeh, the gmail login? [01:34] livingdaylight: you can sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [01:34] did you select smarthost ? [01:35] Comrade-Sergei : komrade how are you? [01:35] livingdaylight: AFAIK, it's default gnome [01:35] livingdaylight, try in #kubuntu [01:35] Gnea yes default is gnome or Ubuntu; i'd like to try kubuntu though [01:35] livingdaylight, Fine you? [01:35] Comrade-Sergei: read what the wizard says - it explains about what that option means... [01:35] livingdaylight: just do the kubuntu-desktop thing, it's the same thing :) [01:35] Comrade-Sergei: viva la muerte!

[01:38] tiredbones: and is your bios set to auto-find it? [01:38] Decepticon_ cool i'll check it out thanks [01:38] Decepticon_: cp -v or rsync with verbose option [01:38] hm ok [01:38] thanks [01:38] Decepticon_: try pv file > newfile [01:38] hmm apt-cdrom does not seem to do it [01:38] tiredbones: i realize these may be somewhat silly questions, but i'd rather err on the side of rational, not irrational :) [01:39] Gnea, how do you check to see if it is spinning up? [01:39] what is pv? [01:39] man pv [01:39] Decepticon_: like cat but it gives a progress bar on stderr [01:39] Thanks that was helpful. Intrepid error when trying "net ads join" - "failed to join domain: failed to find DC for domain". I have successfully joined several Hardy servers (eight) to Windows domain. Am now trying to add an additional server and am using Intrepid on a fresh install before I upgrade my other servers from Hardy to Intrepid. The commands "kinit", "klist" and "net ads info" as... [01:39] oh nice [01:39] ...well as pinging the GC(PDC) all are successful. When I try to join the box to the AD network ("net ads join") the server returns "failed to join domain: failed to find DC for domain [MYDOMAIN]" - I have been trying to resolve this for several days and could use some help. [01:39] thanks all [01:39] Gnea, do i have to boot up to look at the bios? [01:39] tiredbones: when you turn the computer on without it, listen for all of the things that are turning on: the PSU, the CPU fan, any system fans, any other hard drives - then listen for the spin of THAT hard drive - does it have a little green light on it, perhaps? [01:40] tiredbones: yah, during POST just press DEL or F2 [01:40] Gnea, well let me reboot then. [01:40] tiredbones: ok [01:41] There is still problem with usb-creator in interpid. Is there usb-creator for hardy?

[01:42] bazhang: are there any marxists in #ubuntu-offtopic? [01:42] What is the easiet way to configure Ubuntu/PHP to be able to use mail() on localhost? Can I just use gmail as external smtp server? Or do I have to install postfix? [01:42] Is not official? [01:42] linxeh, im a CNT major and i dont even know what half this stuff is [01:42] it's not an official package? [01:42] Comrade-Sergei: mutt is like this because of the way email was supposed to work. mutt is a user agent - it isnt meant to send email, it is supposed to use an MTA to do that. [01:42] Comrade-Sergei: what is CNT ? [01:43] linxeh, computer network technician [01:43] My keypad doesn't work in gnome (it won't input numbers), though when logged into KDE, it works fine.

[01:44] is there a decent shell-based torrent client?

[01:46] bazhang, thanks [01:46] #ubuntu-es [01:46] I tried to make a swap file with what i have but it comes up as "unusable [01:46] Comrade-Sergei: yep - and it has a menu system for setting up your mail servers etc. [01:46] " [01:46] Comrade-Sergei: I'm seriously thinking of moving from thunderbird back to alpine actually [01:46] nice [01:46] so what do you guys think of Ubuntu as the full time OS for a young person's first computer [01:47] GoSox: several people at work have done that with their toddlers [01:47] hahah [01:47] linxeh, how can you stand a separate email client online gmail rocks [01:47] GoSox: edubuntu gets lots of praise [01:47] I cannot make the partition useable at all! [01:47] ok not that young i'm thinking more like a middleschooler who just got a laptop but it has nothing but problems [01:47] greghere -> how did you create the file?

I'm expected to know / learn whatever I need to do my research :p [01:48] the link in the command [01:48] greghere -> i said how you created a file? not a partition.. === pckchem_ is now known as thesecondlaw [01:49] linxeh, honestly how often do oyu ever have to get into the terminal on a mac? [01:49] Comrade-Sergei: but re:gmail - it's ok, but I dont like my mail being on their servers, and I dont like it being online. I use local mail, I spend large portions of the day offline etc. [01:49] linxeh, its almost always hardware [01:49] Comrade-Sergei: I'm in it now [01:49] I have successfully joined several Hardy servers (eight) to Windows domain. Am now trying to add an additional server and am using Intrepid on a fresh install before I upgrade my other servers from Hardy to Intrepid. The commands "kinit", "klist" and "net ads info" as well as pinging the GC(PDC) all are successful. When I try to join the box to the AD network ("net ads join") the server... [01:49] Comrade-Sergei: at work I dont have internet access on my computer, only the intranet, so gmail is useless there too. [01:49] ...returns "failed to join domain: failed to find DC for domain [MYDOMAIN]" - I have been trying to resolve this for several days and could use some help. [01:49] n8tuser, err... I used the partition editor to create the swap file? :) [01:49] linxeh, im quite the oposite my entire second "data" drive is shared [01:49] do you guys know if VMWare has "VMware tools" for linux? or are they only for windows?

[01:50] GoSox: it has them for linux too afair [01:50] <|MUSE|> I just installed ubuntu-server. What would I need to install to get a graphical application to run over ssh, like: ssh -X 10.10.10.10 psp. [01:50] fyi i'm running Ubuntu IN VMware not running VMware in Ubuntu [01:50] innovate2000: dns, hosts etc all configured correctly ? [01:51] innovate2000: and /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf are consistent on all machines ? [01:51] I have 4 partitions already but i was still able to create a 1gb swap file. But it reported as "unuseable" [01:51] |MUSE|, just openssh-server [01:51] |MUSE|: yes as you wrote.. what's the question? ;-) [01:51] |MUSE|: If you have an x-application on the server (without X), you can ssh to the machine with the -x (or is it -X?) switch, and then just run the program on the command line [01:51] side note to GoSox - I use VirtualBox and a large client of mine uses VMWare - my servers run with far less issues than theirs [01:51] greghere -> post in pastebin your results of sudo fdisk -l [01:52] linxeh, so dpkg-reconfigure alpine doesnt work [01:52] GoSox: yeah - they definitely do vmware tools, but you need the "pay for" version to get them. or download a vm with ubuntu in that has them already [01:52] supposedly the hard drive cycle count issue was fixed with Intrepid .. but I can vouch that it is not fixed! :( [01:52] once I install postfix how do I reconfigure it? [01:52] linxeh, what are u talking about??? [01:52] i'm just playing around though, and already have VMware on my mac for running Winsux [01:52] Comrade-Sergei: apt-get install alpine. then run alpine and configure it with the menus [01:52] i dont see it in my applications menu [01:52] ive got a question i just installed xubuntu and when i installed crossover games its not showing up in menu can anyone please tell me how to fix this please [01:52] linxeh, vmware-server which is free has it [01:52] <|MUSE|> fiXXXerMet: this application does not have a command-line. :/ [01:52] usser: probably out of my arse. [01:53] |MUSE|: I mean, the command that is used to launch it. [01:53] |MUSE| -> your psp has to have an Xserver also [01:53] n8tuser, To do that i would need to have the O/S installed and the point of my asking about swap files was that i am in the process of installing :) [01:53] <|MUSE|> ah, ok thanks usser|zsquareplusc|fiXXXerMet! [01:53] linxeh, Ah MUCH better [01:54] greghere -> perhaps i should have asked before..what are you trying to do? [01:54] <|MUSE|> n8tuser: heh, no it's the name of program. [01:54] linxeh, will it resolve dns? so i can put in a FQDN and it will take it? [01:54] usser: it has been some time since I used vmware on linux. my apologies ofor getting that wrong [01:54] Comrade-Sergei: if your machine is setup for dns correctly, sure [01:54] <|MUSE|> personal system psomething :) [01:54] |MUSE| -> provide a better information [01:55] <|MUSE|> ok, sorry [01:55] Install Ubuntu 8.04 on a hdd with windoze Xp on a seperate partition [01:55] linxeh, cool! [01:55] Comrade-Sergei: http://www.washington.edu/alpine/tech-notes/config-notes.html [01:55] linxeh, so a research scientist doind what? [01:55] linxeh: thanks but yes - aside from using the same instructions that I used to set up teh Hardy servers I have referred to the config files of the other servers as I set this box up - like I said, I can "kinit" and "klist" fine. "net ads info" returns info expected (FYI server time offset=0) - but when I try to "net ads join" the error shows up. [01:56] is there a kde channel? [01:56] Out_Cold, #kubuntu [01:56] Out_Cold, and #kde [01:56] ty [01:57] linxeh: one thing I noticed though - when I try to ping domain.local - this fails (but box.domain.local pings fine) I've checked resolv.conf and hosts and all appears to be in order [01:57] im having trouble getting my "Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)" to work on Ubuntu, been through that guide with no avail [01:57] n8tuser, 200GB Hdd divided into 4 partitions, 1 x NTFS for Windblows, 1 x Ext3 For Ubuntu "root" 1 x Ext 3 for /home, and 1 x NTFS for storage/backup :) [01:57] guys [01:57] I need to get my system going [01:57] greghere -> okay, now do you have the livecd to start the installation? [01:58] it gives segmentation fault error every time I try to open firefox [01:58] I tried installing epiphany but same thing [01:58] n8tuser, yes. === thesecondlaw is now known as pckchem [01:58] fevel: prob obvious q - tried reinstalling firefox?

[01:59] innovate2000: how? since when I try removing it the system doesnt let me [01:59] linxeh, now can i use it like i originally wanted as part of a bash script? [01:59] it just gets stuck in the middle of the screen [01:59] my login prompt shows Kubuntu, but I use Gnome. So now I can't shutdown directly from my account. [01:59] How do I change it back? [01:59] !version | magicmax [01:59] magicmax: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [01:59] n8tuser, At partitioning stage [01:59] Comrade-Sergei: I missed that part. what on earth do you want to use it as part of a bash script for ?

But, I can't shutdown directly. I have to logout and then shutdown [02:00] greghere -> what about? [02:00] Koganei: Oh - heh, don't know. Sorry.

[02:01] Koganei: in 8.10 its new. you use the fast user switch applet to shut down [02:01] any help? [02:01] innovate2000: Segmentation fault [02:01] whats the diff between grity, feisty, hardy... what is it [02:02] magicmax: newer software [02:02] whats the name of the network mangr app [02:02] Comrade-Sergei: oh, lol. you dont want mutt or pine then. you should either set up exim properly, or look at something like this http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-31807.html, or use soemthing like nail or blat [02:02] I just did a "chmod o-rx -R /etc" and then realized that maybe i shouldnt have...i then ran "chmod o+rx -R /etc" and now i get "Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer" What have i done? and what do i do to fix it? [02:02] that shows how you are connected and allows you to change etc [02:03] linxeh, jeez that had such a good config though!!! [02:03] damn [02:03] zsquareplusc: it's new? I used to be able to shutdown from the logout menu... [02:03] !networkmanager [02:03] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [02:03] how can i get the output from a commadn in another language (english in my case) ? [02:03] Koganei: its in the release notes :-) [02:03] is there anything better than network manager? [02:04] Comrade-Sergei: maybe you can mke it do what you want, but its not the right solution. it should be trivial to write something in perl though using Net::SMTP or similar (as detailed on that link) [02:04] AllareRegistered: "LANG=C ls" "LANG=de ls" [02:04] zsquareplusc: if I click on the Ubuntu menu and click quit, I have 'logout, switch user' etc. but no shutdown. I already have the fast user switch applet [02:04] linxeh, i CAN program perl though === tonswin is now known as tonsofpcs [02:05] im trying to run this to fix my problem "sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [02:05] and append, [02:05] blacklist ath_pci [02:05] blacklist ath_hal" [02:05] magicmax: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:05] linxeh, but id rather not, i will give its ALOT better than awk but still [02:05] usually when you ask about applications tons of ppl chime in hmmm [02:05] fevel: I just did a quick look with google and it seems that some are having seg fault issues - I don't know what to say except to possible reinstall ubuntu [02:05] Koganei: i have a system->shutdown menu point and the fast user witch applet shows all from logout to shutdown [02:05] but i get this error sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [02:05] and append, [02:05] blacklist ath_pci [02:05] blacklist ath_hal [02:05] magicmax: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:05] so no one uses anything other than network manager?? [02:05] Comrade-Sergei: there is an example program on that page. nail looks quite nice though :) [02:06] viator -> command line [02:06] srry [02:06] zsquareplusc, thanx [02:06] Comrade-Sergei: (nail is replaced with heirloom-mailx apparently, but it does the same) [02:06] zsquareplusc: I don't have system -> shutdown. I have the fast user switch applet, but it doesn't show Shutdown either [02:06] Is it possible to install live cd into usb-connected harddrive? [02:06] iptables [02:07] etc ntetwrk [02:07] Koganei: are you not admin or are other users logged in graphically? [02:07] is there a way to paste into terminal [02:07] only user, I'm admin [02:07] linxeh, and im back to where i started if i start with mailx again [02:07] magicmax: midle mouse button [02:07] I have shutdown under KDE [02:07] linxeh, thats what was suggested in this lab but i couldnt get it to work === macabro22 is now known as mercutio22 [02:08] i dont think i have a middle mouse button [02:08] can anyone tell me if when you allocate memory to a virtual box, it cannot be used by your computer when the box is on? [02:08] Comrade-Sergei: I didnt say mailx. I said heirloom-mailx [02:09] is there any reaosn a cp operation to a flashdrive is working slow? [02:09] !terminal [02:09] 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 [02:09] Comrade-Sergei: it can use smtp smarthosts, ie your gmail smtp server [02:09] is ubuntu 8.10 as good as 8.04? I already upgraded, and I see minor changes but sometimes I have some problems of programs crashing (SIGSEGV/segf), but that happens only VERY rarely on only certain programs using libsdl (like supertux2 crashes always). [02:09] maybe its using usb 1x speed? [02:09] zsquareplusc: I'll just uninstall kde-desktop I guess [02:09] any ideas [02:09] !puff [02:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about puff [02:09] can anyone tell me if when you allocate memory to a virtual box, it cannot be used by your computer when the box is on? [02:10] !can anyone tell me if when you allocate memory to a virtual box, it cannot be used by your computer when the box is on? [02:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:10] thought the bot might know about that [02:10] ok how about this one [02:10] wos: try it. I haven't used virtual boxes ever. [02:10] wos: there is a FAQ / docs on virtualbox.org that cover that topic [02:10] linxeh, well it wants me to install sendmail again when i try to install just mail [02:11] how do i add a network-manager icon/applet whatever to the panel [02:11] linxeh, better yet just walk me through sendmail configuration [02:11] how can i update grub to 2.0 from ubuntu? [02:11] linxeh: any idea why ping to domain.local would fail if resolve.conf has "search domain.local" and "nameserver 123.123.123.123" (not real IP) exist? I CAN ping box.domain.local fine (FYI - I've disabled Avahi - so the .local tld should not be an issue) [02:12] innovate2000: what happens when you type: host domain.local ? [02:12] innovate2000, what is the machine's hostname? [02:12] innovate2000: the .local domain is handles by mDNS. and that is related to avahi [02:13] hullo, im having trouble compiling things, i installed build-essential, is there something else i need? (specifically, i'm getting memset not declared in this scope) [02:13] <[TiZ]> Hi there. I made a script that does a few things and then rsyncs some folders to my iPod. It copied every single file. Will it take this long from now on? Is there any way I can cut down the process? [02:13] all, I have disabled Avahi so the .local tld (as well as mDNS) should not be impacting anything [02:14] [TiZ], rsync only updates files in the destination if the source has changed [02:14] linxeh, exim errored out on uninstall and wont allow sendmail to install now [02:14] [TiZ], meaning, the next time you run rsync - it will only copy over files that were changed (note, files includes directories too) [02:15] <[TiZ]> unop: So next time, rsync will know? Excellent. [02:15] nintendork32: did you have a specific reason to update to grub 2? [02:15] what is the terminal command to bring up the network manager? [02:15] I cant find it in the menu anymore [02:15] [TiZ], rsync doesn't 'know' - it finds out by comparing both directories and examining differences [02:15] anyone? [02:16] is there any reaosn a cp operation to a flashdrive is working slow? maybe its restricted to usb 1x speeds? it is a old pc... [02:16] CyberCod, nm-applet [02:16] hello to all [02:16] is that the applet by the clock? [02:16] i are trying to install drivers for a dvb-t card based on these instructions and get these errors , http://www.pastebin.com/m78e727bc [02:16] CyberCod: Yes [02:16] muskigoat: yeah, to test it for bugs :D [02:16] <[TiZ]> unop: The first time I ran rsync, most of my music was already there. Are you saying it takes 1h30m to compare about 7000 files and folders? [02:17] I'm talking someone through this, its not in front of me, how do I tell them to bring up the network config window? [02:17] musikgoat* [02:17] my nsswitch.conf line for "hosts" just has "files dns" (like my other Hardy boxes) [02:17] nintendork32: if you have bugs in your bootloader, have fun troubleshooting it :-P http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811948 seems to say its getting stable, but why mess with what works? I'd just wait till its the default [02:18] [TiZ], i'm not sure exactly what happened - but no, it should take no more than a couple of seconds to scan that many files [02:18] musikgoat|main, i have a backup plan: i have LILO on another hard drvie [02:18] CyberCod, is there a reason they cannot use the mouse? Or see the applet? [02:18] so if it breaks, boot into linux anyway :D [02:18] solid_liq: when I enter "host domain.local" nothing happens [02:18] they can see it, they don't know what to click and I don't have ibex [02:19] [TiZ], if you are copying to an ipod - you have to remember that music on the ipod is stored with a different file naming scheme - so it's possible your ipod has two copies of music now [02:19] Tell them to right click and select "edit connections: [02:19] so if someone could kindly spell it out [02:19] it would be of immense help [02:19] <[TiZ]> unop: First, thanks for your help. Second, I use rockbox. ;) Third, here's my rsync line, maybe one of the options is the culprit. rsync -t -v -r --progress --delete --modify-window=1 /media/Zangetsu/Music/ /media/TiZPod/Music/ [02:20] musikgoat|main, how do i install the update? [02:20] [TiZ], I don't remember the rsync options at the top of my head - there are just too many [02:20] CyberCod, they can then see the config window for ethernet/wireless/vpn connections [02:20] pckchem: they can see all of that on an applet icon? gee they must have really high resolution [02:21] nevermind [02:21] google would be better than this [02:21] <[TiZ]> unop: That's understandable. And in case you don't know what rockbox is, it's an alternative firmware for the iPod that allows me to browse the filesystem. [02:21] !file grub2 [02:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about file grub2 === Katie-Offline is now known as KatieKitty [02:21] how can i update grub to 2.0 from ubuntu? [02:21] Hey everyone. [02:21] nintendork32: sudo apt-get install grub2 [02:22] [TiZ], i know what rockbox is - i tried to get it on my new ipod but apparently the firmware is locked on them [02:22] CyberCod, I don't need the sarcasm [02:22] <[TiZ]> unop: Ah, one of the 6th gens... or a newer nano. Sorry, man. :( [02:22] musikgoat|main, should i sudo apt-get remove grub first? [02:22] nintendork32: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubTwo [02:23] Why would I be getting `Cannot open display "(null)"` when attempting to access X11 apps via ssh over my LAN on my headless ubuntu server? [02:23] nintendork32: i'm checking around, i don't know [02:23] for the qt4 package, where do i set the default makespec? [02:23] [TiZ], it's all good - i can't complain too much - I have all my music on my ipod and hardly ever update it, gtkpod is fine - it does a few things similar to rsync in terms of syncing stuff. [02:23] hi, I've just installed vmware server and am trying to set a root password (unfortunately I believe you need to - at least the guides said I did) - the "sudo passwd root" command says it completed successfully but did not prompt for a new password [02:23] innovate2000: anything in /etc/hosts that shouldnt be? [02:24] does anyone know how to get this to work (or even better, set a different vmware user) [02:24] !info grub2 [02:24] grub2 (source: grub2): GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (dummy package). In component universe, is extra. Version 1.96+20080512-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 5 kB, installed size 92 kB (Only available for i386 kfreebsd-i386 hurd-i386 amd64 kfreebsd-amd64 powerpc ppc64) [02:24] This may be a n00b question, but can anyone explain to me why an nfs share with read/write permissions that is mounted read/write only has read permissions? [02:24] !root | Irimi_Nage, [02:24] Irimi_Nage,: 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 [02:24] <[TiZ]> unop: That's cool. I'd be in the same boat as you, but I need the Album Artist tag for my esoteric music sorting scheme. :) [02:25] [TiZ], i just press play :) [02:25] greenleaf, are you saying you don't have write permissions? [02:25] <[TiZ]> Hehe, whatever works, man! :D [02:25] linxeh, how do i tell mailx what smtp server to use? [02:25] bot: that's nice, but not the point - I need either a way to set a passwd or a way to set a different vmware user [02:25] Comrade-Sergei: which mailx ? [02:25] pckchem: looking again, it looks like I do in the root of the share, but not in other directories I've tried. I couldn't even write files using sudo [02:25] linxeh, theres more than 1? [02:26] i just went sudo apt-get install mailx [02:26] Irimi_Nage, the bot is telling you that you don't ever need to set a root password as sudo allows you to run commands as the superuser [02:26] linxeh-\ Am I right in thinking a "mailx -v" will say which one? [02:26] Irimi_Nage, meaning - a command prefixed with sudo effectively runs as root. [02:26] greenleaf, I [02:26] any idea how to resize a window whose bottom is way beyond the bottom of your desktop window? sorry, stupid question [02:27] greenleaf, (Sorry typo) Was the drive a windows drive? [02:27] minimizing doesn't work... [02:27] neither does hiding the taskbar at the bottom, it goes below that [02:27] Frijolie, what button tho? [02:27] Frijole, use alt+drag to move the window until you can see the corner [02:27] for updating to grub2 do i need to sudo apt-get remove grub first? [02:27] unop: huh? [02:28] pckchem: no, it's a Linux ext3 drive [02:28] hi, i'm using colinux, updated to Intrepid now.. my prob. is, when it starts my apps are un-themed until i run 'xfce-setting-show', that app does something and after that my apps become themed.. anyone have any idea how to fix this? [02:28] linxeh, ? [02:28] nintendork32, not necessary [02:28] unop: that's not my problem. I understand sudo et al, the problem is getting either: a different vmware user - or a password on root [02:28] Comrade-Sergei: how many more times. I told you to install heirloom-mailx. Yes. there are dozens of implementations of mailx [02:28] unop: what is the grub2 install command? grub2-install? [02:29] Frijolie: drag the window with alt-click until you have a had at the border or alternatively use the system menu (left top menu in the icon) and select resize [02:29] Irimi_Nage-\ If you need a root password that badly, you can do "sudo passwd" - keep in mind that the Ubuntu sudo may not work anymore [02:29] channel [02:29] Comrade-Sergei: with heirloom you set the server in the mailrc file, or with the MAILRC variable - it comes with docs.. [02:29] Or work as before, anyway [02:29] nintendork32, errm, you could just do - sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub2 (and that should run the right script) [02:29] greenleaf, ahh for some reason I thought you said ntfs. Sorry I don't know how to help you. [02:29] linxeh, sorry [02:29] apps unthemed, after http://pastebin.ca/1267170 themed. problem? [02:29] lavacano201014: tried that, "sudo passwd root" or "sudo passwd" under a root prompt doesn't actually work [02:29] Comrade-Sergei: :) [02:29] unop, do i need to install grub2 first? or just run just that? [02:30] nintendork32, but to answer your question - i think it might be /usr/sbin/update-grub2 [02:30] Irimi_Nage-\ Under a root prompt, you don't need sudo [02:30] zsquareplusc: yeah I've tried the resize window from the file menu, that also doesnt work. it changes the mouse cursor but you cant resize the window unless you have access to the bottom right corner of the window you want to resize [02:30] pckchem: that's okay. Easy to get the two confused in a busy chatroom [02:30] Under a standard user account, sudo is needed [02:30] nintendork32, yea, you need to install the grub2 package for it to work [02:30] Comrade-Sergei: try this for osme docs - http://blog.fupps.com/2007/05/08/replace-mail-by-nail-heirloom-mailx/ [02:30] zsquareplusc: i'll try alt+click, never heard of that one [02:30] lavacano201014: sorry, "passwd" didn't work under a root prompt [02:30] linxeh, where did you get it [02:30] hey firefox has started operating really slow -- meaning it takes a long time for pages to load. how do i fix this? [02:30] apps unthemed, after http://pastebin.ca/1267170 themed. problem? [02:30] anyone please [02:30] Irimi_Nage, what are you aiming to do to vmware (or its user) via root ?? [02:30] linxeh, its not in the repos [02:30] unop: log in [02:30] Irimi_Nage-\ Maybe I'm thinking of another command... [02:31] I thought it was "passwd" [02:31] Irimi_Nage, log in what, vmware? [02:31] Comrade-Sergei: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/heirloom-mailx [02:31] unop: yeah, to vmware [02:31] I'll try a reinstall [02:31] maybe I buggered something else up [02:31] greenleaf, If I were to hazard a guess, I would check the permissions on the host computer to make sure you have access. Sometimes I screw up with shares and don't properly assign permissions. [02:31] ok I seem to be having issue with my install of ubuntu with enlightenment also known as opengeu is there a way to up grade to normal ubuntu? [02:32] Irimi_Nage, I still don't understand why you need to be root to do that [02:32] hello. Is there a way to run and use SKype on 8.10? [02:32] led: apt-get install gnome-desktop [02:32] zsquareplusc: thanks that did the trick, it allowed me to move the window up far enough where I could get to the "Apply" button but still didn't allow me to resize the window to entirely fit on my desktop.. [02:32] !skype [02:32] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [02:32] linxeh, ah im still running hardy [02:32] Frijolie: netbook user? ;-) [02:32] Comrade-Sergei: what about "nail" ? === Guest38660 is now known as LoRdRapTuReZ [02:33] hi all [02:33] i need a help about ubuntu [02:33] couldnt find the package [02:33] linxeh, one thing at a time [02:33] !question [02:33] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:33] linxeh, connection refused wtf? trying different server [02:33] Comrade-Sergei: if not, you can install msmtp as per this page, and send mail with the normal mailx - http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?p=6014887 [02:34] zsquareplusc: yeah, I'm on a laptop.

There are several things to do to activate usb but that's best left for the online posts or #vbox. [02:47] bah [02:47] how do i upgrade to grub2?

[04:05] scunizi, I just thought of that right before you mentioned it. [04:05] kc8pxy-\ Zips are binary... [04:05] i installed 7.10 and the grub menu contained the wrong command hd(1,x) - it is hd(0,x). I'd like to know, why grub got confused? it also made windows unbootable (already fixed) [04:05] i am using one IDE and one SATA drive [04:05] no, installed from an ISo image from ubunto site. [04:05] They're also less compressed than .tar.bz2, but that's not the point... [04:06] are there any ubuntu cons? [04:06] temppy no, installed from an ISo image from ubunto site. [04:06] me_: what are you running right now? [04:06] hmw_, that happens with a mix of sata and ide drives .. didn't happen to me on ibex though.. [04:06] lavacano201014: i guess we have a different perspective of the definition "binary. but ok. i think of a binary as a machine-code executable :) [04:06] Point is, even if archives (zips and jars in this case) contain only text files, they are binary files [04:06] hmw_: could you paste your menu.lst and out from : sudo fdisk -l ? [04:07] kc8pxy-\ Binary is anything that isn't a plaintext document (HTML documents, .txt's, etc) [04:07] temppy I have 2 Ubuntu installations both hardy heron.

[04:07] me_ why hardy and not ibex? Ibex seemed to fix a lot of the sound issues. [04:07] Sorry,if anyone had a suggestion to my problem please repeat [04:08] me_: so you cant run the software sources program? you need to add main to your sources.list [04:08] kc8pxy-\ Well, that's how FTP handles plaintext vs. binary, so my vote is to use that... [04:08] I thought Ibex was betta while Hardy was stable [04:08] lavacano201014: either way, how do we fix the jar? [04:08] Because most other programs do it that way too (less even warns me about reading binary files with it) [04:09] tempy I thought Ibex was betta while Hardy was stable [04:09] temppy I thought Ibex was betta while Hardy was stable [04:09] me_ no.. hardy is LTS (long term support 3 yrs) Ibex is the latest stable release supported for 18 mths. [04:09] kc8pxy-\ Find a program somewhere that will convert binary files (FTP definition) from Windows to Unix [04:09] trainpic: How did it go? [04:09] still running [04:09] anyone know how to deny ftp from a certain ip address? [04:09] technically Ibex isn't a stable version. 8.10 is =) [04:09] me_: you still need to add main to your repos [04:09] kc8pxy-\ For that, we'll have to ask an old buddy of mine, Google... [04:09] will it find luks partitions? [04:09] * lavacano201014 opens a browser on the other machine [04:10] I wish people would stop using the code name and start using the version for stable releases [04:10] trainpic: I forget how it works [04:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/77008/ [04:10] But I think part of it doesn't care what partition scheme it's in [04:10] lavacano201014: ...... this is a jnlp we're running. most of the jar's are remote. [04:10] But it supports almost all filesystems [04:10] no no [04:10] if I remember correctly [04:10] scottz, :( My mother use to say.. if wishes were horses, beggers would ride :) [04:10] k [04:10] the only one it doesn't support is zfs [04:10] scunizi DasEi http://paste.ubuntu.com/77008/ [04:10] (I think) [04:10] luks is encrypted lvm [04:11] just keep the scan running [04:11] wondering if the encryption might throw it off... [04:11] then paste the results [04:11] temppy thanks! I will need to study repositories tomorrow. Imaing upgrading to ibex would not solve the problem? [04:11] k [04:11] 75% now [04:11] me_: can you open your sources.list? [04:11] k [04:11] scunizi DasEi it didnt happen, when i installed 8.10, so i am a little bit confused about the reasons behind the mixup [04:11] kc8pxy-\ Well, then I have no idea whatsoever [04:11] Because I can't put it clearly enough to Google... [04:11] lavacano201014: thx for helping. [04:12] me_: can you just fix your sources first? you may need to do that anyway [04:12] temppy what text editor do I invoke from the command line?

[04:18] DasE1 yes, i think so (not 100% sure) but i saw two boot partitions (one on each drive) so i assume it must be the sata [04:18] mi problem is a microphone internal [04:19] k [04:19] Ubuntu 8.10 [04:19] ahtmly2k that is probably best for #ubuntu-offtopic [04:19] hmw_:in the end of menu.lst you find a mapping, which is prbly done because you are not booting from the first(bios) disk in your pc [04:19] what is wrong with the mic?

[04:27] i am th OP [04:27] :O [04:27] trainpic: here is the deal i need to setup my tablet-pc (n-tring) i found good guide with some wacom patch. but i need to edit my xorg.conf and add some stuff. How do i do that in 8.10? [04:27] it isnt really helpful but.... [04:27] How long do you use ubuntu? [04:28] scunizi>> Is the restricted from Synaptic or the D-Link site driver? [04:28] the more attention the better [04:28] Fezzler1, synaptic [04:28] can anyone tell me why ubuntu thinks there is some kind of package manager running when in fact none are?? [04:28] 8 months [04:28] me_: finally! sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ don't forget the ^ and good luck [04:28] not exactly sure [04:28] what does it tell u to edit? [04:28] i have hardy [04:28] scunizi>> Search D-Link or Atheros? [04:29] ah.. i have Intrepid [04:29] Fezzler1, search restricted [04:29] trainpic: to add few lines in Section "server layout", i dont have that section in xorg.conf [04:29] is that when it started? [04:29] hm... [04:30] mmm [04:30] what kind of files do skydomes have to be for compiz? [04:30] 2 year [04:30] matiasdj89: i have been thinking of upgrading, apparently the sound configuration is done better [04:30] i'm not sure what do do in that case [04:30] Fezzler1, is called linux-restricted-modules [04:30] im not an expert on X [04:30] temppy install in progress. Thanks for your help. If I want to familiarize myself with Linux am I better off with Ibex or Hardy? [04:30] matiasdj87: could also search: !sound [04:30] !sound [04:30] a patch [04:30] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[04:31] ubottu: what aboutinternal mic's? [04:31] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:31] I thought the same thing, but it was not so [04:31] like something that you have to recompile Xorg for? [04:31] wos: Do you have update-manager running? [04:31] no [04:31] Panarchy [04:31] wos: (also, if you just rebooted, it might be running automatically) [04:31] its not done yet [04:31] but its still only finding those 2 partitions [04:31] flannel is that so? [04:31] hi [04:32] wos: maybe some program you dont identify as package manager is really running . i think it comes in three fahions: the "add software", "synaptic" and "update manager". ther might be some apt-get or aptitude running in a shell, too. [04:32] is ^ like a wild card or something? and does that work in other commands besides apt? [04:32] wos: If you are absolutely sure you don't have anything running (and have checked ps aux), you can delete the lock file manually. [04:32] Fezzler1, ubuntu-restricted-extras is actually for mp3 and other codecs.. linux-restricted-modules has the atheros driver. === me_ is now known as me_afk [04:32] wos: Yeah, and then the icon in the top right tells you if it found updates, etc. [04:32] Fezzler1, can you please do -> sudo lspci -v [04:32] Then put results for network cards on pastebin [04:32] hey does anyone know how to enable remote desktop without using the GUI? [04:32] in Suse the microphone works good [04:32] flannel, yes but the update manager itself cant start [04:33] ddgoose>> yes [04:33] wos: alright, what does the following give you: sudo apt-get update [04:33] thats another dist? [04:33] Would someone help me connect an hfsplus external drive to Intrepid and make is writable?

[04:49] scunizi>> dumb question - pull the wire or uncheck the Enabled good enough [04:50] Fezzler1, pull the wire.. just for good measure. [04:50] wos: well, that's where your problem started.

So far, I have been able to save a custom wallpaper, custom applications and custom desktop icons... but I need to be able to save: Which panel icons appear (and don't appear), which WINE applications I have installed & what firefox extensions (addons) that I have installed. Any help with this would be appreciated. [06:01] but i miss the 8.04 version [06:01] they ship me 8.10 [06:01] roshank: just to repeat the question [06:01] Panarchy -> you are re-mastering the liveCD ? [06:01] kelvin911, I think you might still be able to get it delivered [06:01] n8tuser: Yes [06:01] how to order 8.04 versiin? [06:01] cd adaptec [06:01] mmcji: does links2 support milti tab ?

[06:03] !remaster | Panarchy [06:03] Panarchy: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [06:03] I do not know. I do know that I used links2 to successfully login to my links ap which required javascript. it was not pretty, but it worked. I have not fiddled with it since replacing the linksys firmware with dd-wrt a few years ago. [06:03] Thanks n8tuser, I'll have a look through those guides [06:03] Panarchy: I think this is what you're talking about. http://lifehacker.com/software/linux-tip/make-an-ubuntu-backup-live-cddvd-with-remastersys-330181.php [06:04] is anyone here good with webcam drivers? [06:05] n8tuser: The dell guide you posted, does that also help with non-dell comps? [06:05] Panarchy: I have remastered several versions of ubuntu, but I never used remastersys. I do not think the normal ubuntu docs cover specifically what you are trying to do. [06:06] Panarchy -> i have not used it myself, i assume it applies to non-dell pc's [06:06] so looking at the remastersys docs is a good idea [06:07] n8tuser: ok [06:07] mmcji: Have you been able to acheive what I am trying to acheive? [06:07] no [06:08] but i just right click on the desktop with xfce4 installed and have my apps that way [06:09] and i was really just looking for terminal, vnc and nano [06:09] mmcji: That's exactly the feature I don't want [06:09] (about right-clicking to see list of programs) [06:10] sure, if you figure it out, i would love to know how you did it.

[07:44] Popescu, make sure you also select SSH in putty. Putty doesn't always default to SSH. [07:44] ikonia, I accidentally unmounted my harddrive. [07:44] ikonia, I partitioned a new version of ubuntu [07:45] This was, I had openssh-server, but no one besides ikonia did not know I say, that's the problem [07:45] partition: sudo mount -a will remount everything in the fstab [07:45] paul68, did you mean to mix tcp and udp in your rules? [07:45] ikonia, fstab? [07:45] paul68, you need both tcp and udp port 53 for the dns rules [07:45] partition, everything that is mounted at boot time is written in fstab. That command will mount it all again. [07:45] Popescu: sudo /etc/initd/ssh start [07:46] paul68, one has tcp other has udp [07:46] hello i am trying to upgrade hardy but it says authentication failed and i cant change the software source cause is stock to a loop...what should i do? [07:46] partition: that is where you mount points are defined [07:46] paul68, that may be the issue [07:46] ikonia, isn't that /etc/init.d/ssh ? (the dot) [07:46] ramon thats not how you upgrade [07:46] ddgoose: I thought dns had only udp and not tcp [07:46] hischild, now how do I select the old portion of my harddrive to boot? [07:46] hischild: correct, lag dropped the dot [07:46] ikonia don`t need sudo, i have user root [07:46] ddgoose: will look into it [07:46] Popescu, don't use the root account. [07:46] paul68, it listens on both, but still you have those 2 rules and one has udp the other has tcp [07:46] Popescu: thats not wise [07:46] p but your call [07:47] ikonia i do have two issues...but you can tell me...anyways the system is stock in a loop [07:47] ikonia, now how do I select the old portion of my harddrive to boot? [07:47] partition, i'm sorry, i haven't followed the entire discussion. I explained what Ikonia was saying. [07:47] hischild why ? [07:47] ramon what loop ? [07:47] ddgoose: ok understood [07:47] Popescu: you do that with grub [07:47] !root | Popescu [07:47] Popescu: 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 [07:47] ikonia failed to connect to the source [07:48] hischild, I just remounted the now partition of my harddrive.

There is more to tell. Why do you want to boot from this hard disk? You can still access all your data from Ubuntu. [07:49] who will be here knows how to make ircd and gnuworld? [07:49] ramon: you need to put your sources back to default and follow the proper upgrade path [07:49] who will be here knows how to make ircd and gnuworld on ubuntu ? [07:50] Popescu, why not ask the question and find out. [07:50] hischild, in this partition I don't have access to any of my music, my saved settings, programs, or anything. Also, I just want to go back to my old account and delete this partition that I'm on [07:50] hischild [07:50] I did not understand what you wanted to say [07:50] ikonia i when i try to change it goes to the same previous check for packages and then give me a error [07:51] ramon sounds like your've started a upgrade in a bad way, and it's gone too far to back out so has to finish [07:51] hischild, I accidentally unmounted my harddrive trying to unmount my syntax-errored ipod mount point [07:51] hey, i'm trying to make a flash drive version of ubuntu, i've tried a few ways, most recently using the builtin function in 8.10. but i can't get it to boot at all. I've changed my settings in the BIOS, but nothing happens. I even dissabled everything but that, and it still refuses to boot. Any ideas? [07:51] partition, what is on that other partition then? [07:51] hischild, created a 50-50 partition on my hdd with another version of ubuntu [07:51] ikonia is there any way to kill the process? [07:51] hischild, my other ubuntu account, with all my stuff [07:51] Popescu, well what seems to be the problem with ircd and gnuworld? why won't you ask that question instead. [07:52] ramon it depends what has been done to your machine, it's not a case of "killing" the process, it sounds like the upgrade may have started and gone beyond the point of no return which is why it wants to finish [07:52] theCzar: try unetbootin [07:52] partition, during installation it should have been recognized. Either you can copy all the things over by hand, or you can reboot and select the proper line in grub . [07:53] k, ty! [07:53] theCzar, unetbootin has also my vote. [07:53] hi how can i get 'extend desktop to second monitor' ? thanks [07:54] +1 for unetbootin [07:54] ikonia, do you remember that i asked yesterday if you mind if i ask you for some more help with figuring out a script?

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [08:59] I need to uninstall ubuntu for something, how can i go about this [08:59] Ratchet--, get a cd and boot from it [08:59] Hey guys, got a quick question. Did 'Initiate Window Picker' get change with 8.10? [08:59] not install, uninstall [08:59] Ratchet--, you don't even need to install it in order to test it [09:00] Ratchet--, sorry [09:00] hischild: I know how to compile from tar.gz and general sources. I was more thinking about using "apt-get source" to acquire the source. Would you rather recommend fetching the .tar file ? [09:00] np :P [09:00] hello, how can I 'emulate' windows app and run in it Ubuntu 8.10 like through VNC or smth. - I have install VirtualBox, and WindowsXP on it, can I have a window for one application only ? I do not want to run everything in one window (virtualbox windowsxp) ? [09:00] Ratchet--, start from cd anyway and erase the partition [09:00] *installed [09:00] rdz: thanks, i'll try that [09:01] Arnas: You could check out wine and see if the application can run under its compatibility layer - www.winehq.org that may let you run it under ubuntu [09:01] Ratchet--, you could do, what is often used as a joke: 'sudo rm -rf /' [09:02] this would erase all files from the filesystem [09:02] !danger [09:02] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [09:02] what command? [09:02] Ratchet--: You don't need to "uninstall" you just need to repartition [09:02] Ratchet--: have you got another operating system on that computer? [09:02] Ratchet--: What are you going to use the disk for besides Ubuntu? [09:02] Flannel, i know.... Ratchet-- asked me how to get rid of ubunut [09:02] Windows [09:02] rdz: Yes, and that command isn't useful. [09:03] hi [09:03] DJones: yeah tried under wine, but ran into some issues with .NET and IE compatability with that program, so BASICALLY I want to run that program emulating whole windows XP through VNC or some other method just for one program [09:03] Ratchet--: Get a partitioner, and repartition your Ubuntu partition to be NTFS (or expand your windows partition, etc). You'll also need a windows CD, to restore the windows bootloader to your MBR [09:03] I have a virus on windows, and to initiate the recovery I have to bypass the choose OS during startup. [09:03] Flannel, sorry.. i alread proposed a more serious way by booting from cd [09:04] wasn't 8.10 supposed to come with OpenOffice 3? [09:04] I do not *WANT* to uninstall ubuntu, but it must be done to remove my virus. [09:04] I have a virus on windows, and to initiate the recovery I have to bypass the choose OS during startup. [09:04] bdizzle: Yes, but OOo3's release was pushed back twice [09:04] Ratchet--: That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. [09:05] Ratchet--: You're talking about choosing the "recovery" option in windows, right? [09:05] I am talking about holding F11 [09:05] and initiating recovery mode [09:05] hey, so I'm trying to make a bootable flashdrive for ubuntu 8.10. I've tried a few methods, everything from the built in tool to Unetbootin and syslinux. I can't get it to work at all. I change my BIOS settings but still nothing. any ideas? My friend is having a similar problem too [09:05] DJones: I think I read somewhere about a method virtualization of windows xp and running/connecting to program through VNC protocol [09:05] got a short question: a windows-notebook of a friend crashed and i tried to boot it with a ubuntu 7 live-cd. now i want to make network-shared folders available so i can quickly backup folder from notebook to another pc. whats the keyboard-shortcut for opening a terminal and which commands would fully install samba and share the whole c:\ folder ? thanks in advance [09:05] Ratchet--: What that does is boots to your second harddrive (D usually), so if you just boot to that via GRUB, you should be ok. [09:05] On the normal circumstances you do it when the compaw screen shows, but there is not enough time with the option choosing [09:05] ah, okay [09:06] Flannel: i don't quite understand how i would get to it through grub [09:07] Ratchet--: You'd change from booting to your primary Windows partition to your recovery windows partition. Unfortunately, most of that recovery stuff is MFC specific, and non-standard. So you might want to consult google for details (see if anyone else has already done it, wrote about it, etc) [09:08] !firewall [09:08] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [09:08] Ratchet--: From memory, I think there's an option on the Windows XP install cd that lets you recover your MBR, that would stop grub being loaded, you could then use windows to reformat/repartition the ubuntu partitions, but it would completely remove Ubuntu [09:08] I am using Ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell Inspiron 6400. I can't shutdown my laptop other than manually pressing the power button. The turnoff button just brings a black screen where it gets stuck [09:09] Ratchet--: Or you can just use the windows CD to repair the windows MBR, do your recovery stuff, then reinstall GRUB afterwards [09:09] DJones: did you hear about that kind of method or something like that ? [09:09] !gspca driver [09:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about gspca driver [09:09] hey, so I'm trying to make a bootable flashdrive for ubuntu 8.10.

[09:43] another bet is to simply copy your stuff over [09:43] I never worry about cloning [09:43] Pav5088, yes it does want that, i actually spent a lot of time trying to get around that but i could not. it does however support accesing a server [09:43] magnetron, the window said A volume of software package has been detected." and 2 Options were available "start package Manager, and Cancel... [09:43] i used synclient to change my touch pad's settings but whenever I restart, the settings are reset.how do I make synclient settings permanent? :) [09:43] <_mak> i have two machines, gateways, one is able to share the vpn connection the other is not...i've looked in 'route -n', 'iptables -L', 'iptables -t nat', they are equal, there is another places where can i search for diferences? [09:44] Package Manager Opened.... after that no idea about what to do!! [09:44] morningwalker→ so start the package manager. [09:44] Pav5088, it also skips empty bloacks and compresses using gzip [09:44] hello! i accidentally deleted from panel (in one-shot) 3 applets: wifi manager, hp toolbox and upgrades notifier one. i can't re-place them using "add to panel" because they're not in the list. what can i do? [09:44] Pav5088 what are you trying to accomplish? [09:44] magnetron; i did open the package manager... but there seems to be no options like, upgrade from cd or something... [09:44] is there something i must look for? [09:45] Pav5088, i just used a usb HD as the intermediary since i could mount it from a livecd [09:45] I always have more than one HD laying around with stuff on it so I dont have to worry about cloning as it is slower than copying the information over [09:45] alfatau, you removed your system-tray, although im not sure how to restore it [09:45] how to undelete file in reiserfs [09:46] morningwalker→ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades#Upgrading Using the Alternate CD/DVD [09:46] reiserfs undelete http://antrix.net/journal/techtalk/reiserfs_data_recovery_howto.comments [09:46] ardchoille: ok you were right thanks [09:46] rinovan welcome to our side reiserfs ftw [09:46] Does anyone have any experience in getting mobile phones to work as modems? [09:46] hi [09:46] whats the difference between totem-mozilla and totem-plugin [09:46] s [09:47] totem-mozilla is a front end for web browsers and pligins are well plugins for totem [09:47] oiii [09:47] canthony: it works for me thanks dude~! :) [09:47] np [09:47] !ask | xSONICx [09:47] xSONICx: 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. :-) [09:47] 2 wireless cards are running, one built-in on the laptop and a USB one (4x faster!), how do i go to disable the built-in one at boot by keeping the possibility to re-enable (if USB one would fail)? [09:47] kupo: yw [09:47] magnetron, ive tried what they have mentioned on the site u gave me, but there still doesnt work the command on Alt = F2 " gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" " doesnt work [09:48] canthony: i hope ubuntu will beat windowsXP/Vista in 1 or 2 years [09:48] benoka1 is it a minipci? === moonwolf is now known as MoonWolf [09:48] magnetron; alt + f2 [09:48] I would simply take the plate off the botom of the laptop and take it out [09:49] Oprtz, just keep spreading the free/open goodness/mindset [09:49] morningwalker→ are you absolutely sure you have the Alternate CD? not the regular Desktop CD? [09:49] if the laptop is older than 2000 and it has a wifi a card in it than it might be more of a headache [09:49] canthony: found: applet's name is "notification area" [09:49] thanks [09:49] benokal: Do you know the module name?

[09:52] I was answering a question on disabling a wifi card benoka1 asked [09:52] harul [09:52] wow Fedora 10's kernel is schweet [09:52] everything is so smooth I cannot wait til Ubuntu 9.04 [09:53] any way of upgrading using the desktop cd?? [09:53] put it in the cd drive while Ubuntu is running [09:53] a window will popup asking if you want to upgrade [09:54] personally I keep my /home in another partition and format my OS partition when upgrading or trying out any Linux distro [09:54] so when I "upgrade" I simply format my OS partition and have a clean slate with no issues [09:55] anyone know of video editors outside of kino, cinelerra, blender (yes, it does that too), avidemux (i think that was the name), pitivi ? [09:55] is there a way to compile kernel 2.26.9 for Ubuntu 8.10 ^_^ [09:56] Hi ALl [09:56] Ademan sadly no [09:56] video editing is a mac and windows thing for now [09:56] :-/ [09:56] it makes me sad too [09:56] I am trying to start a service, /etc/init.d/pbxnsip restart, everyhitng goes ok, no error messages on screen, hoewver no process is loaded, ...I wonder wich file can I take a look to to se service startup errors on Ubuntu server, thanks [09:56] kino does what (my friend) needs, it's just been a little...crash happy... [09:57] and well, we all know about cinelerra (although I haven't personally used it, it's got quite a reputation) [09:57] Juanolo, is it a network service? [09:57] Ademan I use Sony Vegas Pro tools in Wine with wine tricks enabled [09:57] !wine [09:57] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [09:58] wow! [09:58] Ademan→ pitivi [09:58] does it actually work well? [09:58] my experience with wine is kinda mixed [09:58] pitivi is really limited [09:58] i love it because the idea is great, but it often falls flat on its face [09:58] with wine you need patience and lots of it [09:58] canthony, yes, it is a PBX server [09:58] Ademan→ use PITIVI [09:58] everything can be gotten to work but not without some hassles [09:58] !info pitivi | Ademan [09:58] pitivi (source: pitivi): non-linear audio/video editor using GStreamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.1-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 172 kB, installed size 1168 kB [09:59] well its qute a feat to convert the native system calls of one os into calls to another, id say theve done a good job [09:59] Wine Is Not an Emulator [09:59] I just want to know which files are storing the service startup messages and errors [09:59] oh certainly, especially with little/no documentation available [09:59] pitivi is ok it is along the same lines as Windows Movie Maker which is not a bad thing but for anything professional it doesnt pass the test [09:59] Ademan→ you hear me? [09:59] magnetron: i'll check it out, lol [09:59] My sound is crackling a little bit. Does anyone think this could be something besides hardware? [10:00] can some1 pls show me a link on how to install and configure a squid proxy server on a ubuntu server? [10:00] neeto is it a sblive card? [10:00] neeto: I can't remember exactly what it is, let me lshw real quick === Mstnt is now known as Mstnt`ZzZZzzz [10:00] geenome: : I can't remember exactly what it is, let me lshw real quick [10:01] my creative card does the same thing [10:01] It didn't used to do it :/ [10:01] It's creative for sure, I don't know what type [10:01] Juanolo, i would try running to command manually and see what it says, instead of from init.d [10:01] yes creative and Linux are a shaky shady business [10:02] canthony, well runing the command manualy doesn't say anyhthing, it just executes and that's all [10:02] I have an XFI card that doesnt work at all [10:02] all it does is crackel and fizz [10:02] but with Windows it sounds amazing === undefined is now known as K10 [10:02] !german [10:02] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [10:02] geenome: I see :/ it's weird because it didn't used to crackle at all [10:02] canthony, it is supossed to be a process that has to stick to the service list, however even i execute it it doesn't appear on ps -A [10:02] but all the sudden it's started being really annoying [10:02] Juanolo, so the command completes and returns you to the terminal? [10:02] do you dualboot? [10:03] canthony, yes, it completes and returns me to the terminal without any error message [10:03] I suggest trying it in Windows and if it does the same thing get a new card [10:03] you could try an strace [10:03] are you running Ubuntu 8.10 neeto? [10:03] geenome: it's an SB Audigy LS speficially... [10:04] yeah it is the xfi chip [10:04] geenome: I haven't upgraded yet, still 8.04 [10:04] ahh [10:04] upgrade [10:04] geenome: that's work, nan [10:04] man( [10:04] the soundsystem of 8.04 is crappy but fixed in 8.10 [10:04] canthony, strace? [10:05] geenome: ah, good to know... once I get around to a place where I can upgrade without the danger of losing my data, then I will... I gotta offload about 4TB of crap first though [10:05] I cant believe your audigy card works [10:05] Juanolo, strace will watch all the system cals made by the binary command. it will tell you what the binary tries to open/etc. there is another debugging tool that starts with a g but i cant think of it right now [10:05] geenome: it's worked absolutely perfectly since 7.04 when I got this machine [10:05] canthony, you mean gdm? [10:05] neeto I suggest partitioning up your hd [10:05] It's just now that it's turned to crap, it's weird [10:05] canthony, I don't have "strace" [10:06] Juanolo, is the app a binary or a script [10:06] canthony, no wait ... gdb sorry [10:06] leaving like a 30 gig OS only partition [10:06] hischild, yeah i think thats it [10:06] canthony, the app is a binary [10:06] geenome, yeah I am gonna do a whole bunch of stuff when I upgrade... get more storage and raid6 it all for redundancy and speed [10:06] hischild, i havent really used gdb but johnny from mapi-evolution had me do it once when i was getting the mapi plugin working [10:06] good morning, quick question for 8.10 - since upgrading ive got a new "Universal Access Preferences" icon on the task bar which I can't seem to remove (nothing appears if I right click) - any suggestions? [10:06] raid is good [10:07] my other ubuntu which also was upgraded hasn't got this. [10:07] canthony, it can be really useful at times. [10:07] geenome: I like it, I didn't do anything with it on this install because this machine is a modular experiment of sorts, so it's been being added onto for a year or so [10:07] canthony, I have done strace and this is the result: http://pastebin.com/m3afea990 [10:08] right thats how my Linux machine is [10:08] geenome: a huge experiment? [10:08] I usually use Ubuntu Studio but atm I am using Fedora 10 and I love it [10:08] the kernel 2.6.29 is amazing [10:09] canthony, so I don't understand anything about the information generated by strace [10:09] Juanolo, i see alot of No such file or directory, seems like you have missing libraries [10:09] geenome: as soon as I get the time I'll upgrade for sure [10:09] which file format do i have to choose when i want to embedd fonts and images into "one file"?? (INKSCAPE) [10:09] it almost puts XP to shame in terms of speed and smoothness is unparraled [10:09] geenome: My machine already puts XP to shame several times over. I love this beast [10:09] a little late for kernel video processing but better late than never to have a gdi [10:10] is there any one programmer with xlib ? [10:10] canthony, access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) , which library ? [10:10] its about time GDI kernel mode was introduced [10:10] geenome: oh shit they have a gdi mode now [10:10] geenome: do you know if creative labs is supported by fedora 10? [10:10] err pardon the french there [10:10] canthony, it is always asking for : ld.so.nohwcap [10:10] canthony, what's that? [10:10] Juanolo: that one's harmless [10:11] anyone know where I can find info on how to configure command line mail clients like alpine to work with gmail? [10:11] Ubuntu 9.04 will have that kernel [10:11] or better [10:11] Juanolo, i admit im not that savvy with the debug tools or their output [10:11] maxb, what do yo mean? [10:11] Juanolo: It's not a problem that it's missing [10:12] !alpine [10:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about alpine [10:12] geenome: cool. For now I think I am gonna make ALSA use my intel audio card, that'll probably fix the problem, at least for the immediate future [10:12] Juanolo, strace/gdb are usually last resorts after sifting through documentation on the program and forums/web resources. i would think the program would have some sort of logging functionality [10:12] maxb, ok so what's wrong on strace information? I can't still manage to stick this process on [10:12] thats what I did neeto [10:13] Juanolo: I don't think there's any useful information in that strace [10:13] canthony, nothing, the information and documentations is very simple, and it si supossed to be as simple as start the process: http://wiki.pbxnsip.com/index.php/Installing_in_Linux [10:13] any person programmer xlib? [10:13] geenome: do you know if creative labs is supported by fedora 10? and especially for the xfi cards? [10:13] with GDI kernel processing Xorg is now 10 times more stable [10:13] geenome: cool, should work, although I am more confused about why my creative card decided to get crappy all the sudden more than the fact that it's hard to listen to music with [10:13] idk I put my xfi card in my gaming system [10:13] The funy thing is that this was working on Ubuntu 8.04 [10:13] its alsa probably an upgrade [10:14] geenome: I hate when they upgrade working things into non-working things :/ [10:14] have you done upgrades recently [10:14] geenome: I do them every chance I get [10:14] wait a few days it might get fixed [10:14] Juanolo: I think that strace just shows the initial process forking off the one which will continue to run in the background, and then exiting. So, working as designed [10:14] geenome: I'll cross my fingers... I'm peacin' out for now though [10:15] later [10:15] later all [10:15] maxb, is there any other log where can I see error messages comming from services that want to restart? [10:17] the new kernel makes me smile it added like 10-15 fps for my games [10:17] I doubt that [10:17] Juanolo: it really is up to each individual service, you'd have to see what logging options pbxnsip has [10:17] Juanolo, is there a specific reason you need to move to 8.10? [10:17] ikonia is that toward me? [10:17] yes, and it's also offtopic [10:18] I have been helping people all night sorry I am a bit tired I got a little carried away [10:18] i got one question: in ubuntu 8.10 the keyboard repeat function does not work for my left and down arrow key (for up and right it works) when i have synergy running. Is this problem known? [10:18] time to goto bed [10:20] I am using Ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell Inspiron 6400. I can't shutdown my laptop other than manually pressing the power button. poweroff command doesn't seem to shut down, it just brings it onto a black screen with the power still switched on. I did not have this problem with Ubuntu 8.04.. What should i do? [10:20] cl→ i'm not sure, all the bugs are tracked at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu [10:20] ikonia, good afternoon. Have you received my pm? [10:20] hischild: just about to open it [10:20] just logged in [10:20] ok, i will take a look there [10:20] ikonia, no need to rush it. I've got time. === lipsin__ is now known as lipsin === Leva is now known as Leva_ [10:23] is there a different between ubuntu's nvidia proprietary drivers and installing them manually? [10:23] difference* [10:23] could someone tell me how to get the difference between two text files without any other info (the default diff file1 file2 puts a > or < in front of each line, I don't want that)? [10:24] forcumang: the ubuntu drivers might not always be the newest version [10:24] that's not a problem [10:24] negge you probly have some whitesapce in there, there is a flag in diff to ignore that [10:24] i'm just trying to find out if they function the same [10:25] canthony: I'll check [10:25] forcumang, using the repo drivers is probably going to make lifer easier for you .. but not bleeding edge. [10:25] ........... [10:25] canthony: that didn't work (diff -w) [10:25] milligan_ => so there is a difference between 173 proprietary and 173 manual install? [10:25] (173 = driver ver) [10:26] forcumang, as long as the driver version is the same, I wouldn't think there is a difference, no. [10:26] alright, that's great [10:26] thanks for the information [10:26] negge try -y [10:26] ikonia, i've got to help a few folks here. take your time, i'll be back in like half an hour. ok? [10:26] for side by side [10:27] canthony: thatmade it a bit better but it produces a lot of whitespace at the beginning of the line [10:27] Jeez, this channel has a lot of users compared to efnet.. [10:27] o.o [10:27] forcumang, don't take my word for it though .. I'm just assuming and using what seems logical to me :) [10:27] forcumang: that's because this is the official channel [10:27] milligan_ => i assumed the same, just wanted a second opinion, and you've delivered [10:27] ;) [10:27] negge => ah ic [10:28] Don't s'pose anyone here has experience with the amanda backup solution ? [10:28] No sir, not here. :x [10:28] i'd like a program that made a full backup into an iso [10:28] :x [10:29] is there a limit to .tar.gz size? [10:29] forcumang, backup of what [10:29] of the whole system [10:29] canthony: any other ideas? the -y switch just outputs the diff in two different columns [10:29] all files [10:29] forcumang, limits are imposed by the filesystem/processor/ram or all [10:30] yes, but [10:30] you can make tar autosplit at certain sizes [10:30] for example: if i had a super duper computer with 999TB of HDD space [10:30] ah ok [10:30] negge, there is also a minimal switch, not sure will need to just play with it i guess [10:30] hmm [10:30] has anyone here installed photoshop on wine? [10:31] Hi all [10:31] canthony: I tried a lot of different switches but none seems to be it [10:31] forcumang, is it a whole partition you need backed up [10:31] forcumang, take a look into using dump/restore [10:31] forcumang, yeah i was oing to just suggest partimage again [10:31] canthony => yes [10:31] ddgoose => i will [10:32] forcumang, i just used partimage an hour ago to clone my gentoo setup to an identical server [10:32] hi all. when 'aptitude safe-upgrade'ing, it hangs always at 'setting up man-db' 'Updating database of manual pages ...'. synaptic package manager also doesn't work. assumingly because of the same reason [10:32] rdz, wat do you consider "hang".... [10:33] oh wow dump / restore is a program right in the repository [10:33] looks like it's exactly what i need [10:33] thanks for the reference fellas [10:33] negge, you could try looking at the file a piece at a time [10:33] geenome, you pasted a link about sound devices, but I'm talking about a wireless network card [10:33] haha [10:34] Arenlor, you mean ubuntu version? 8.10, intrepid [10:34] oh whats the terminal cmd to check my ubuntu ver [10:34] canthony, it stays there and uses 100% cpu. i let it running for over half an hour, but it still stays there [10:34] !version | forcumang [10:34] forcumang: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » === benoka1 is now known as benoka [10:35] rdz, hmm that is suspicious, im out on this one [10:35] canthony, probably it's useful to know, that i am running ubuntu intrepid as a guest os in virtualbox on mac osx host [10:35] !shell [10:35] 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 [10:36] rdz, yuck. either way i do clean install to aboid phantom issies with upgrading [10:36] canthony, what do oyu mean with 'clean install'? [10:36] forcumang, amanda will work also, it uses dump or tar for its backups, and has a file driver to write to a file instead of tape [10:36] 2 wireless cards are running, one built-in on the laptop and a USB one (4x faster!), how do i go to disable the built-in one at boot by keeping the possibility to re-enable (if USB one would fail)? ubuntu 8.10 intrepid [10:37] canthony, this _is_ a clean and fresh install [10:37] rdz, well ive never worked with a VM solution, but i always have a dedicated /home partition so when i upgrade i just have to wipe the partition my "OS" is one and reinstall without losing my stuff [10:37] Hi... the upgrade to 8.10 has damaged wireless. I'm told that upgrading to the proposed kernel can fix this issue. Are there any major risks in doing this and can it be un-done? [10:38] rdz whats a "safe-upgrade" i havent used aptitude [10:38] oh wow [10:38] im under intrepid too [10:38] benoka, check your computers bios for a switch to turn off the built in wireless, some laptops/computers also have a switch on the case to do same [10:38] i thought i was under hardy the whole time [10:38] . [10:38] chazco it can be undone by booting from the old kernel, however using the proposed repo is a risk of other packages being problems [10:38] canthony, it's basically the same as 'apt-get upgrade' [10:38] canthony, or pressing the 'update' button in synpatic [10:38] rdz from what i understand the advantages to using aptitude got merged into apt-get a long time ago [10:38] chazco: I would only suggest this if you are %101 confident with what your doing [10:38] ikonia - Ah... so would you say the "safer" bet would be to downgrade to 8.04? [10:38] under intrepid [10:39] canthony, you think, i should use apt-get instead? [10:39] rdz i dont know might be worth a try but it seems like you might have a different issue [10:39] canthony, same result with apt-get as well [10:39] chazco: no, wait for a fix [10:39] chazco: you can't downgrade [10:39] ikonia - I need the wifi :( I mean uninstall 8.10 and reinstall 8.04 [10:40] canthony, i would need to find out, what mandb is doing when it hangs.. the process using 100%cpu is called 'mandb' [10:40] chazco: your acll what to do then [10:41] ikonia - Ok, thanks for the advice :) [10:41] rdz, yeah im just not skilled enough in the debugging arts to help any further. i know there are ways to "flag" a process and record the systems calls/etc it makes when its ran [10:42] canthony, ok.. me neither.. but thanks so far [10:42] Where can I get the theme used in this screenshot? http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2008/11/screenshot1.gif [10:43] theunixgeek, looks like human-clearlooks to me [10:43] ddgoose: the window border? [10:43] my computername changed for some sick reason [10:44] to localhost.localdomain [10:44] how can i give it the name of my choice again please? [10:44] i have a 13" laptop. i install ubuntu and ubuntu detect my VGA and set my lcd to 1280x800 px. can i maximize my resolution bigger that 1280x800? [10:45] i have a 13" laptop. i install ubuntu and ubuntu detect my VGA and set my lcd to 1280x800 px. can i maximize my resolution bigger than 1280x800? [10:45] can i do a windows install data import over samba or otherwise from a vm? [10:46] without doing dual bot? cause bual boot really is stupid [10:46] :s [10:46] theunixgeek, what specifically do you mean about the border? [10:46] what makes dual boot stupid, scientes [10:46] time comsuming [10:46] ddgoose: what's the name of the window border theme? [10:47] the only thing that would make it usualble is if either system could boot the other as a vm [10:47] I'm not sure that it's human-clearlooks [10:47] scientes, ah then virtualbox or vmware could indeed by a good solution, sorry but i didnt understand the rest of the question [10:47] shams, do you want to have a resolution that is higher than the native resolution of your notebook' [10:47] ? [10:47] IS IT POSSIBLE to make "passwd" NOT asking for the old password first, when trying to change the users password as a simple user (not as root) ???? [10:48] windows install data import = ? [10:48] vmware doesnt allow it, you cant instal vmware tools on a comp with vmware server/ws etc [10:48] shams, from what i know, ubuntu tries to detect the native resolution of your built-in screen and uses that [10:48] theunixgeek, looks like human or human-clearlooks [10:48] ddgoose: ok [10:48] hi [10:48] can i get nvidia-glx-177 version 177.78 from anywhere? intrepid repos seem to have only 177.80 now [10:49] the new version has "corruption" bug again :/ [10:49] (running hardy, with nvidia drivers from intrepid) [10:49] that combination worked fine ~month ago, but i'v since upgraded to intrepid, disappointed, and fresh-installed hardy again [10:49] and now i can't find 177.78 drivers any more [10:50] rdz: if i maximize my resolution, bigger than native resolution, my notebook lcd will damaged? [10:50] scientes, i only installed vmware-tools in VMs :s [10:51] theunixgeek, what distro are you on, should be included or on by default for 8.10 or 8.04 [10:51] doh [10:51] it woud be a vm, vmware tools is ssmart and wont load if it doesnt see the drivers of the server [10:51] huh [10:51] called dual boot, where each can load each other [10:51] vmware-tools just allways worked here [10:52] in a VM [10:52] vmware prevents it from diallowing vmware tools and server on same computer [10:52] im still not sure what you mean lol [10:52] boot a physical partition [10:52] works great except for additions [10:52] and some issues with nvidia driver [10:52] IS IT POSSIBLE to make "passwd" NOT asking for the old password first, when trying to change the users password as a simple user (not as root) ???? [10:53] but vmware-tools easily overrides that and hook directly to X [10:53] YAA1, run it as root [10:53] scientes, so you have a VM that uses a physical partition? [10:53] scientes: no other way to configure it for not asking users anymore ?? [10:53] yeah, they work well [10:54] YAA1, you have to be root to reset pasword, if ycannot become root at all you need to reboot into rescue mode [10:54] YAA1, (as root or sudo) passwd [10:55] scientes, its still a VM right? so it should still be possible to install vmware-tools right? [10:55] YAA1, man sudo, RTFMP [10:55] How do I reinstall grub? [10:55] scientes: you missed the point. im not about to reset passwords. im asking if there is a way to comfigure the "passwd" programm (or sub-programms/components) so that a simple user will not be asked for his old password first if he wants to change his password to a new one. === `EJ is now known as EJ [10:55] scientes, i never tried that so i wouldnt know but it seemd interesting hope you dont mind me asking stuff about it :) [10:55] AllareRegistered, im saying the vmware-tools install checks for vmware/workstation and refuses to install === kevin_ is now known as kevin-g [10:56] scientes, so it cannot find the host? [10:56] hey, how do i check kernel config parameters on my currently running kernel? [10:56] how do I do to disable my eth0 in startup? [10:56] but i havnt tried to do it cross VM platforms like Virtualbox for linux to windows, and vmware for linux in windows [10:56] mfilipe, if you find out tell me [10:56] scientes: sudo or anything where user gets id 0 is no valid solution. [10:57] YAA1, ? to change ids you have to change the passwd file [10:57] scientes: I can add "ifconfig eth0 down" in /etc/rc.local, but I want disable the module too [10:57] YAA1, READ THE FUCKING MAN PAGE, man passwd [10:57] mfilipe, add it to /etc/modules/blacklist [10:58] scientes: I did already read the "man passwd" page.. I found no lead for any configuration way. but this does not always mean there is no solution. [10:58] hi, how do I make eth0:1 permanent but eth0 dynamic (reason is I want to put eth0 on any one of a series of networks and I want it to have a static ip for connecting to a vpn with the eth0:1 alias [10:58] scientes: but I don't know which is the module [10:58] scientes, no cursing. [10:58] mfilipe, im in the same boat [10:58] i have a eth that is broken and keeps turning on and breaking things [10:59] sryy bazhang but he was repeatedly not saying anything/repeating himself on a simple question [10:59] scientes, does not matter; cursing is right out here [10:59] YAA1, passwd run as root can change any users asswd [10:59] scientes, please dont ever shout that at people again. it's really rude. [10:59] censorship is also rude imho [11:00] AllareRegistered, that is not censorship. censorship would be if i removed you now. [11:00] it seems scientes did not listen well. [11:01] hi, i've googled for a free fat partition "undelete" software, cause i accidentially deleted files, is there some linux/ubuntu solution for restore deleted files from fat32 partitioons? [11:01] aldin, have you overwritten them? [11:01] no [11:01] elkbuntu, censorship would be muting someone for swearing, but i didnt mean anything bad by my remark, its just that i see complaining about bad language like every 5 minutes these days [11:01] bazhang: no [11:02] aldin, take a look at testdisk [11:02] aldin, from fat32? not that I know of; there is for ext3 though that is far from 100% [11:02] DOES ANYBODY KNOWS A WAY to make "PASSWD" NOT ASKING FOR OLD PASSWORD FIRST when run as a normal user (not root, no sudo! just simple user doing a passwd) ??? [11:02] !undelete [11:02] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [11:02] YAA1, dont use caps [11:02] AllareRegistered, this channel has standards. if we dont maintain them, then they lapse and we turn into a pit of screaming obscenities at people. meanwhile, i wasnt debating the F word so much as the RTFM attitude that is far more abhorrable. [11:02] Hey. Can someone tell me if the Seek_Error_Rate on Seagate Harddisks is usually a bit higher? [11:03] elkbuntu, by typing rt*m you violate the rules yourself :s [11:03] baschtwork, you should check in ##hardware [11:03] YAA1, what's the point of passwords if it's that easy to circumvent? [11:04] bazhang: I'm facing this problem only under Ubuntu Server - it spits out "ata3" kernel-errors - but the disks are fine... [11:04] AllareRegistered, only because you pushed the issue. it'd be nice to not have to break the rules to enforce them, but some people just love to argue. [11:04] elkbuntu, but i understand where youŕe going (and you wont see me swear here) [11:05] bazhang: it is fat32 (an usb stick) [11:05] YAA1, why would you need to bypass the old passwd prompt? [11:06] elkbuntu, i didnt mean it to start arguing, i just meant its remarkable how fast people react when they see a bad word, and how slow they react to questions, and sometimes it bothers me because people can actually defend themselves (but again i understand there need to be rules and you will not see me swear here) [11:06] elkbuntu: circumvent ?! im just looking for a solution to PREVENT PASSWD from asking for the OLD PASSWORD first. Its NOTHING about circumventing. I just want to get RID of that anoying question for experimental reasons (IN LAB work) [11:06] baschtwork, you could check launchpad or ubuntuforums to see if it is a software issue; though that does sound like hardware imo === Katie-Offline is now known as KatieKitty [11:06] hello [11:07] YAA1, right, so if i could change someone's password without knowing that, what's the point of the password in the first place if anyone can just change it to something they know? [11:07] elkbuntu: this is supposed to make engineering less anoying while experimenting with passwords, complexity, ldap and all that. it just SUCKS if you want to change my users password and it asks you every minute for the old password. [11:08] lol someone tell him about bad language :p [11:08] i dont see anything now :p [11:08] how do i set the first day of the week to monday in gnome? [11:08] YAA1, this is completely the wrong place to be asking for that sort of assistance. you're better off asking a more general linux channel. [11:09] elkbuntu: I know WHY this "feature" is implemented there. but that is not the point. I am ROOT! so I don't need to ask users to change password if you like to. but I am testing around and this "old password question" is anoying if you do passwd about every minute while complexity is >8chars , special chars and all!!! got it ? [11:09] YAA1, #linux for example :p [11:09] YAA1, please be aware that nobody owes you help [11:09] YAA1, you could get source for password and recompile [11:09] YAA1, if you have root you type passwd johnny and then put in johnny's passwd [11:10] er passwd even [11:10] YAA1, it's *not* a feature that ubuntu implemented. it's part of basic linux. [11:10] YAA1, otherwise you can't get there from here# [11:10] Hello. Is there a MUA that can connect to an IMAP server in readonly mode? [11:10] kevin-go: you missed the point [11:11] YAA1, I did not, I saw exactly what you said, and uttered, you can't get there from here [11:11] YAA1, this is not the right channel for that. [11:11] YAA1, just recompile passwd, end of problem [11:11] * AllareRegistered looks at #linux [11:11] after changing the old password routine of course === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [11:11] ddgoose: so there is no official way to configure passwd so it won't ask the old password ? hacking the code is the only way left? [11:12] YAA1, correct [11:12] !repeat | YAA1 [11:12] YAA1: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [11:12] YAA1, if you get the source and look at the configure script it may have an override in there, I am not sure without looking [11:13] hi, how do I make eth0:1 permanent but eth0 dynamic (reason is I want to put eth0 on any one of a series of networks and I want it to have a static ip for connecting to a vpn with the eth0:1 alias) [11:13] ddgoose: Now.. THAT is a Answer to the point. thanks for help! [11:13] YAA1, it's completely outside the scope of this channel [11:13] YAA1, i asked for you in #linux... AllareRegistered: run it as root [11:14] AllareRegistered, dont worry, he'll be back when he cant figure how to recompile or something. [11:14] fireman goose to the rescue [11:14] elkbuntu, ah he left lol [11:14] elkbuntu, didnt notice that [11:14] why there are two kind of kernel different so much on their size like 2.6.27 and 2.6.27.*? [11:15] i got a answer in #linux in about 30 seconds [11:15] lol [11:15] Kelen what ? [11:15] hi, how do I make eth0:1 permanent but eth0 dynamic (reason is I want to put eth0 on any one of a series of networks and I want it to have a static ip for connecting to a vpn with the eth0:1 alias) [11:16] AllareRegistered, this channel tends to get abused for 'general gnu utils' and 'basic linux' help. [11:16] kevin-go define it in the interfaces file [11:17] elkbuntu, well its hard to judge where to ask sometimes but this one was indeed pretty obvious for #linux [11:18] my computername changed to localhost.localdomain for some sick reason, how should i change it back? [11:18] (i run mythbuntu 8.10 should that mather) [11:18] Hi, My mouse scrollwheel has stopped working since I did a bunch of updates. I've not changed my xorg.conf. The mouse works fine in another computer. Anyone have any clues? [11:18] AllareRegistered, /etc/hosts file? [11:19] ikonia, so where I have auto eth0 auto where it does the dhcp atm would I be right with auto eth0:1 for a second stanza [11:19] AllareRegistered, /etc/hostname , /etc/hosts [11:19] elkbuntu, ddgoose nice thanx [11:19] ikonia, I'll try it anyway ;-) [11:19] join #ubuntu-zh [11:19] kevin-go auto eth0:1 just means "auto configure" so yes [11:19] never had to do it before [11:20] AllareRegistered, you will need to reboot for it to take effect [11:20] ddgoose, thanx i will [11:21] \join #php [11:21] oops ) [11:21] loool [11:22] (/ just in case you dont know) [11:23] Hi, when entering a manual ip-address in Ubutnu 8.10 using the nm-connection-editor, the ip-adresse remains a dhcp-addresse, even though I did a /etc/networking restart! How can I do so the manual address get s accepted? [11:23] anyone here able to get the imagick PHP extension to work in Ubuntu? [11:24] ikonia, does this look ok? http://paste.ubuntu.com/77083/ [11:24] what is the command to see all daemons that are running? [11:25] kevin-go seems a reasonable shot [11:25] ddgoose, elkbuntu after reboot xfce complains it cannot find localhost.localdomain [11:25] mfilipe: ps -ef | [11:25] mfilipe: ps -ef [11:25] !netsplit [11:25] 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 [11:25] AllareRegistered do you have an entry in /etc/hosts for it [11:25] ikonia, thanks ~I will restart networking now :-) [11:25] ikonia, nope, i just removed it (well commented it out) [11:26] AllareRegistered thats the problem then [11:26] Shoopuf, whats the issue? [11:26] ikonia, but then my system had the retarded name again :s [11:26] AllareRegistered, you dont overwrite it, you add extra names next to it [11:26] AllareRegistered your hostname is not set that way === Leva is now known as rachmad === Bitfish is now known as bitFish [11:26] ikonia, na it does not like me ;-) it remembers some other network I was on (ohh well time for some hard work) [11:27] ikonia, my hostname was correct :( yet my machine shows up as localdomain.localhost [11:27] AllareRegistered where does your machine show up as localdomain ? [11:27] so is xmms2 now just a command line tool? or can i get it to work as it has done in the past? [11:27] gnome suddenly disappear, only wallpaper after being inactive for a while, doesn't respond to CTRL+ALT+BCKSPCE aslo [11:27] gabx try audacious instead [11:27] gabx it's very different, it's an audio server now [11:28] bazhang: easy on the computer, memory wise?

So far, I have been able to save a custom wallpaper, custom applications and custom desktop icons... but I need to be able to save: Which panel icons appear (and don't appear), which WINE applications I have installed & what firefox extensions (addons) that I have installed. Any help with this would be appreciated.

[11:35] wesolek "normal compiz"? ?? there is only one. "Compis-fusion" [11:35] Panarchy: sorry no, not got time to go digging through .sessions files [11:35] ikonia, well it used to be the same as my hostname, but my machine just automatically screwed itself up, and this is one of the things that aere screwed up all of a sudden [11:36] ikonia, i fixed all the rest, this is the last issue i found [11:36] AllareRegistered machines don't jsut screw themsevles up - what really happened [11:36] v6lur: What linux are you using? [11:36] 32-bit or 64-bit [11:36] ikonia: Any idea where I should start looking? [11:36] ikonia, i have no clue it happened while i didnt do anything [11:36] Panarchy: 32 [11:36] ikonia, it worked fine and a bit later it was screwed up [11:36] that simple, no idea what happened [11:36] Panarchy: and kubuntu flavour [11:36] how do i remove something that i downloaded with aptitude... [11:36] v6lur, Install this driver: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_177.82.html [11:37] Panarchy whoaaaa why are you telling him to do that / [11:37] ikonia, in my synaptic, when I typed compiz to find a package, there was compiz and compiz-fusion-bcop. Well anyway, I've got them both installed, but nothing happens [11:37] ikonia: Thought it might help? [11:37] Panarchy why ? [11:37] ikonia, only thing that could have happened is a unsafe shutdown, by power failure (or annoying mom) [11:37] ikonia: Would you rather I give him an open-source driver? [11:37] Panarchy: is that card not supported by the 3 versions in the ubuntu repo ? [11:37] ikonia: Would you rather I give him an open-source driver? [11:37] Panarchy no, there are 3 versions of the nvidia driver in the ubuntu reop [11:38] ikonia: He said he couldn't get it to work [11:38] AllareRegistered if you open a terminal and type "hostname" [11:38] Panarchy: i'd rather avoid those .run-s, bad experiences :( [11:38] ikonia: This way seems the simplest work around [11:38] v6lur... ok [11:38] Panarchy do you think breaking kernel module dependeny for the ubuntu kernels is a "simple fix" [11:38] Panarchy: those drivers should be installed as a last resort [11:38] ikonia: Can you please tell me where I should go to find the .session files that I need? [11:38] ikonia, $ hostname [11:38] localhost.localdomain [11:38] Panarchy: just because he can't get them to work doesn't mean they don't work [11:39] ikonia: Not really that used to driver troubles on linux [11:39] ikonia: Had enough other troubles... lol [11:39] ikonia: Can you please tell me where I should go to find the .session files that I need?

[12:06] intel GM965 [12:06] my FF browser on ubu 8.10 doesnt show getdeb website [12:06] stefano, Intel gm965 [12:06] for example people from same network can watch getdeb site [12:07] more interesting thing is that using virtual machine I can view getdeb website trough IE7 [12:07] DEVIUS, this chip should run out of the box without any configuration, even the desktop effects should be enabled by default [12:07] stefano, oh ok, what about the rest of my list.... [12:09] DEVIUS, i dont think you should have to do anything, maybe the wireless card, but the rest should run out of the box. it could also be that your fingerprint reader isnt supported, but they're not secure anyways :-) [12:09] <^krupa> hey, is there a way to tell rsync after doing the sync to copy the old changed files (using --backup) to the source machine instad of destination ? (im using ssh /myfolder/ user@host:/myfolder [12:09] DEVIUS, have you checked what works and what doesn't? [12:09] stefano, ill test my wireless and bluetooth now [12:10] stefano, my bluetooth sees my phone [12:10] Panarchy, example is welcome now since ikonia seems to be away :p [12:10] why getdeb doesnt work ? [12:10] stefano, my wireless sees my home network [12:10] stefano, neat, but the microphone and fingerprint sennsor ?????? [12:11] stefano, i need help on those [12:11] huh? [12:11] what help do you need [12:11] DEVIUS, if your sound card has been at all detected, it should work fine, then it's just a configuration thing. youll need to dig around in the alsa mixer and flip some switches [12:12] DEVIUS, whats the make and model name of your notebook? [12:12] stefano, hp compaq 6510b [12:12] which video player plugin do you guys use for firefox?

[12:14] is there a place where we can upload some screenshots took from ubuntu 8.10 ? [12:14] stefano, yes it works fine [12:14] my file hosting service is unavailable from ubuntu [12:14] xplo, imageshack? [12:14] stefano, i can scroll with it normally [12:14] AllareRegistered: not working [12:15] stefano, and tap it for a click [12:15] good [12:15] AlreadyRegistered [12:15] gimme a sec [12:15] bazhang, nobody is talking in that chanel... now I've got everything frozen in my interface, I can't even move the windows, I can still type in them though [12:15] DEVIUS, I'm just asking because that has been a problem with this laptop in previous versions of ubuntu [12:15] stefano, Panarchy: Ok I now try the mediaplayerconnectivity plugin. that lets you choose which player you want to use to play a video [12:15] wesolek, just need to wait a bit [12:16] DEVIUS, so then the only things left is your microphone and fingerprint reader? [12:16] stefano, i guess so [12:16] 127.0.0.1 localhost [12:16] adac, thats a good choice [12:16] 127.0.1.1 hacker [12:16] # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts [12:16] ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback [12:16] fe00::0 ip6-localnet [12:16] ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix [12:16] Panarchy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:17] is there a place where we can upload some screenshots took from ubuntu 8.10 ?

[12:17] my file hosting service is unavailable from ubuntu [12:17] 21 [12:17] is there a way to find the history of installed packages? [12:17] DEVIUS, where do you read those captions? [12:17] stefano, what captions?? [12:18] xplo, if imageshack is not working i dont have any idea, you could try to e-mail them to yourself untill you can get to your server [12:18] "full capacits" and "strength"? [12:18] ah hang on [12:18] i misread that :> [12:18] stefano, no its my prediction, because i dont get smooth scrolling and desktop effects [12:19] dang [12:19] this sucks [12:19] Panarchy, you cannot read my answers i think, since im not registered, you use ubuntu 8.10 ? [12:19] fucking ubuntu [12:19] xplo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:19] DEVIUS, open up a terminal and type glxgears [12:19] xplo, what happened? I missed it [12:19] well i need a image hosting service [12:19] DEVIUS, wait a few seconds and look for the value before FPS in the terminal [12:19] that works with ubuntu [12:20] imageshack and servimg is not working [12:20] xplo: imageshack.us works fine... [12:20] xplo, how is it ubuntus fault that you cannot access your hosting and not even imageshack? [12:20] its not taking the image format [12:20] im sorry but i can do both those things with all my ubuntu installations [12:20] xplo: how did you screenshot the image? [12:20] with the service in the system [12:20] xplo, how does the imageformat prevent you from accessing ytour server? [12:20] stefano, this is what i get 1395 frames in 5.0 seconds = 278.939 FPS [12:20] 1142 frames in 5.0 seconds = 228.121 FPS [12:20] 317 frames in 5.0 seconds = 63.254 FPS [12:20] 376 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.060 FPS [12:20] 2561 frames in 5.0 seconds = 511.383 FPS [12:20] DEVIUS: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:20] XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" [12:20] xplo: what command or keys did you press? [12:20] DEVIUS, pastebin [12:21] AllareRegistered: do you really think i would ask here if i knew the answer ? [12:21] AllareRegistered: Yes [12:21] pastebin is down [12:21] ok sorry for that [12:21] ziroday i clicked TAKE A SCREENSHOT [12:21] use a different pastebin [12:21] NicEXE: you can use paste.ubuntu.com or rafb.net [12:21] xplo: man you gotta calm down if you want us to keep helping you [12:21] xplo, you didnt even read what i typed... [12:21] yeah [12:21] DEVIUS, that seems about right, that means your graphics driver is one that supports the full banana of open gl accelleration and that sort of thing [12:21] xplo: right, that is gnome-screenshot. The format it gives you is fine [12:21] you sait that imageshak is not the problem [12:21] xplo: For image hosting,, try tinypic [12:22] well they tell me that ubuntu is not compatible [12:22] xplo: neither is the fact that you are using ubuntu. [12:22] xplo: really? Where? [12:22] stefano, full banana / open gl whoa, easy on me [12:22] xplo: ubuntu is pefectly compatible, imageshack works with every computer that can surf the web [12:22] on imageshack and servimg.com [12:22] xplo: What is the full filename of the image you are looking to upload? Including the extension [12:22] neeto I JUST TRIED [12:22] :# [12:22] not working [12:22] i tried like 30 times [12:22] xplo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:23] xplo: It's not ubuntu man. You're just a fool. [12:23] DEVIUS, go to system - settings - appearance and visual effects (the captions could be different on your system, i use a localised version) [12:23] xplo: really, well thats odd. Because it works for everyone else using gnome screenshot. [12:23] xplo, sudo apt-get install gimp and use that to convert to any format you can think of [12:23] DEVIUS, then try to select normal and see if it works [12:23] DEVIUS, you can check if it's smooth by using Alt+Tab [12:24] stefano, it was by default on none [12:24] i put it on normal [12:24] hi all. we have several computers with ubuntu installed. I'm searching for a nice fixed volume compressor for gnome. zip and 7z are the types we use. [12:25] prodigel: okay, and what is not working? [12:25] hi people, I have installed a printer HP P1005 in CUPS, works normal but only local. I need print with Windows XP, I install the print normall but not work. Status = Opening, Message error = Failed to open, retrying. I think my smb.conf is wrong. Can anybody help me ?? [12:25] DEVIUS, does it work? [12:25] ziroday, all is working. I was looking for a suggestion. [12:25] this is my smb.conf http://pastebin.com/d1a21c443 [12:26] prodigel: ah right, well 7z can compress files further but is less well known and compatible. zip on the otherhand is supported virtually everywhere [12:26] anyone know of a ide for like perl that allows debugging/stepping over/breakpoints and stuff inside ubuntu? ya I can use console but rather go with gui :) [12:26] stefano, i gotta admit, things appealed to be smoother [12:27] DEVIUS, if you use Alt+Tab you should get a nice preview of all the open windows, you know when you see it that it's hardware accellerated [12:27] xplo, youŕe welcome by the way [12:27] stefano, its faster and neater now, nice [12:27] prodigel, does this help you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archive_formats [12:28] stefano, I'm not looking for the best format. I'm looking for a nice gui app that can do fixed volumes and can be used by a regulare person [12:28] DEVIUS, your graphics chip is more of a power saver than a power house, i would reccomend you stick with the normal settings, thatl make your everyday experience much better than the extra effects [12:29] prodigel: then file-roller. It is installed by default [12:29] stefano, ok ill do that [12:29] stefano, about my soundcard and the "ALSA" lol, and the finger print sensor what do i do? [12:29] ziroday, great! I just saw the 'other options'. thanks alot. [12:30] hello.does ubuntu 8.10 have the same incompatibility problem with nvidia geforce 8200? [12:30] burg: it has a never driver, which may or may not fix your issues. You can use the livecd to install it and try out [12:30] DEVIUS, for your fingerprint reader you'll have to search the forums, if you don't find anything start a new thread and see if you can get it solved with their help. the only thing i know is that those installed in lenovo notebooks largely don't work very well. but you'll have to find out. [12:30] burg, seems to have issues with my GTZ280.. so id assume so :( [12:30] burg, it probably will work [12:30] Scrollbars have a button at the top and bottom. Is there any way to tweak those buttons to increase the "step"? [12:31] DEVIUS, your sound chip basically works doesn't it? [12:31] stefano, ohhh, ok what about the sound card [12:31] stefano, as you have said basically [12:31] stefano, but not fully [12:31] Havsalt, so you don`t know for shure [12:32] when you open the mixer (right click on the volume icon, open volume control (or something like that) you should see lots of sliders to fiddle around with, under settings you can activate even more of them [12:33] and the selection box on the top shows you all the devices in your computer that have something to do with sound, all with their own set of confusing sliders [12:33] I was wondering if anyone knew how I could save my settings (and customisations) for when I create a LiveCD? So far, I have been able to save a custom wallpaper, custom applications and custom desktop icons... but I need to be able to save: Which panel icons appear (and don't appear), which WINE applications I have installed & what firefox extensions (addons) that I have installed. Any help with this would be appreciated. [12:33] burg, im guessing [12:33] DEVIUS, do you find anything there that has to do with your microphone?

[13:35] another question here [13:35] hydrian: could it be that the one installed by Ubuntu is not the same as that subtitle file? do you know a way to fix it?

[13:39] I killed. and then? [13:39] lianimator: you need to compile the different encoding type in the kernel/or a module if they are not compile already. I suspect they are probably already compiles as a module knowing ubuntu. But I am not sure... I'm old to linux, but new to Ubuntu. [13:40] <|{53> got a damn chest cold, stayed home and decided to get on irc. [13:40] lianimator: If it is compiled into a module, you need to make sure the modules are loaded.

[13:58] yes [13:59] steel_lady: you'll have to resize that and shrink it to create free space in the disk.

[14:02] If you use the alternate install CD, you can also just select to install to the unallocated partition, and it will automatically setup swap, /, and install [14:02] ok, so i reinstalled 8.10. fresh install. same problem with resolution. it doesn't go beyond 1280 x 1024. how do i fix this? [14:02] no no [14:02] it does the multi boot however [14:03] ok I resized win, I created extended partition, I created other logical partition for Ubuntu, I created other logical for swap, other ext3 for working and other fat32 for storage. is it the right order?

[14:15] hi everyone. i m disgusted with my WIN Xp. and i am now planning to uninstall it and install another linux distribution ( ideally fedora 10) .I am currently having ubuntu 8.10 in one of my 15 gb partition. I have win xp in my C: (15gb,ntfs) and D:( 8GB, fat32). Would it be safe to merge these partitions and install fedora on the combined partion? and how can i protect my existing Ubuntu GRUb from getting overwritten by Fedora? [14:15] When the computer starts, I press F11 immediately, still not enough time. [14:15] what could be the reason that print jobs seem to sort of hang a long time? [14:15] <|{53> Ratchet: It sounds like the recovery partition is no longer there.... [14:16] <|{53> Can you confirm that the partition is still there? [14:16] kitply: You do not need to protect ubuntu's grub it takes a min to restore it. Google for 'restore grub ubuntu' [14:16] |{53: It's there,ye [14:16] kitply: you should think about creating a separate /home too [14:16] questnn: Is it safe to install fedora on the merged partitions i have mentioned? [14:16] kitply: If the c and d partitions lie one after another, then they it is absolutely safe to merge them as the data is anyways going to be formatted what have you got to loose?

[14:17] questnn: yes they come one after another [14:17] <|{53> erm, nvrmd [14:18] kitply: Then after you delete both of them, you are going to have one large unpartitioned space, and you will be creating a new partition for fedora. Not merging them.

[14:38] Hi everyone. Can anyone help me on a simple question plse? Simple when one knows how! I want to store certain text that I often repeat onto one of the keys on the keyboard. This will save me having to type everything over and over again. Help please on how to do this? [14:38] hi [14:38] why it's better [14:38] with [14:38] don t give me that please, my primary concern are permissions, not the size so you have to tell me from permission aspect, what do you advice? [14:38] Hello. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 on my acer travelmate 5510 laptop, and want to add an extra screen that can extend the keyboard. I' [14:39] you can make links quicker etc [14:39] steel_lady: if you more comfortable with fat32 use fat32. cant give you absolutes, if you have admin access in win and linux you should be able to access any file in either system. [14:39] hallo? [14:39] it's not normal that it is not possible on ubuntu [14:39] patrik, that means that there's enough memory for all thhe processes. So to not let memory go to waste ubuntu caches most used data from disk essentially. whenever there's a shortage of memory the cache will swapped out again to make room for processes. [14:39] looking a little more at the cpu usage prob, i think it has something to do with xorg, any thoughts? [14:40] scientes, But I get your point. Just wierd that the system is fully cached upon boot. [14:40] I've just lost my all data during installing 8.10 [14:40] patrik, windows does the same [14:40] <|{53> napster: Ekk, sounds bad. [14:40] Hello. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 on my acer travelmate 5510 laptop, and want to add an extra screen that can extend the keyboard. I'v inserted the screen, and restarted. Now I got two screen showing the same image in the same resolution. I want two screens in diffrent resolution, and one extending the desktop. Can ubuntu 8.10 do that? (Sorry for dubble post, didnt mean to press enter the first time) [14:40] patrik, its just caching everything that loads while boting, but hsouldnt we 4 GB [14:40] (in vista it is though cause its so bloated :P0 [14:40] scientes, But caching stuff when doing the disk check is not a good thing. Especially if that cached data ends up on the swap. [14:40] recon69, my dubt is not accessing files but modifying it. I am not more comfortable with anything, I am just the blond who seeks the best option [14:41] patrik, cache never even goes to swap [14:41] <|{53> napster: what did you loose? [14:41] patrik, cache can be droped at any moment [14:41] Gullstad, yes it can, although it's somewhat dependant on the video card if you're using compiz (which you probably are) [14:41] yep, but is it possible that now during using single partition, create one new for home, root and swap? [14:41] patrik, cache is never allocated, its automatic and not expected, it just makes use of empty ram u got sitting there using power etc [14:42] scientes, Yeah, vista does a really poor job. Ok, if it doesn't end up on the swap I guess there's no problem. I was just curios. Thanks for answering. [14:42] <|{53> napster: You can do that after installing, but as long as you have a new install, it might be better just to reinstall and do it then. [14:42] |53 Nope [14:42] cwillu: Not using compiz. Find it quite annoying. How can i figure out what gfx card I got? [14:42] |{53: nope [14:42] yes thanks for the advice [14:42] patrik, it'll often swap apps out to make more cache, and this is generally a good thing [14:42] |{ I had trouble getting it to start back up, it's getting buggy. [14:42] i think i must reinstall [14:42] patrik, vista actually is upose to be really good at caching, quite agressive, but i was just attacking the size of the system that vista loads while loading [14:42] Gullstad, you've specifically disabled it?

[14:43] Gullstad, it's generally a performance win actually, but ya [14:44] so i dl and install a x64 bit OS and run a x32 [14:44] thats why need to reinstall [14:44] napster, just boot into the live cd and go into gparted, resize your home, then copy stuff from home over, and then edit your fstab [14:44] OK, I'd ask in #kde, but that AND #kubuntu are silent, so here goes: [14:44] Gullstad, preferences | apperances | desktop effects [14:44] napster, quite easy [14:44] steel_lady: well, go with fat32 if you more comfortable with it. if you hit the 4gig limit you can upgrade the partitions to ntfs [14:44] ohh [14:44] Some of my songs are showing up as gray in Amarok, but the files play perfectly [14:44] thats sounds good [14:44] i was excited/distracted [14:44] What's the gray supposed to mean? [14:44] cwillu: Turn them all off? [14:44] cwillu: To "none"? [14:44] Gullstad, you can make extended desktop work with them on, but it's a bit finicky (most video cards have fairly small limits on the max texture size, and the desktop is one big window) [14:44] scientes, Vista is totally useless on my Vaio TX5, because the HD is so slow. So when the 1GB memory gets full the swap starts to fill out and you could easily wait 2 mins for an app to load. [14:45] Can anyone tell me which of these 4 chmod's is correct? I want to let the .PHP files on my website write to a JPG image... But www-data user does not have write access to the directory... http://pastebin.com/d4fd78a69 [14:45] Gullstad, yep.

[14:50] Gullstad, switch it to none (which tells the system to use metacity instead of compiz) [14:50] <|{53> patrik: just think of the cache space as not being used. [14:50] Gullstad, metacity is the 'old' window manager that doesn't use any 3d acceleration [14:51] patrik, 'cwillu', not 'Cwiiis' (one of these days, I'm gonna add his name to my highlight list because of the confusion :( === `Chris_ is now known as `Chris [14:51] <|{53> isaax: serial mouse? That is so ten years ago. :p [14:51] patrik, um [14:51] doesn't quite work like that [14:51] |{53, Yeah yeah, I know how cache works and everything, but the problem was that the cache was full after a reboot and I thought perhaps that would affect caching performance on normal apps. [14:51] cwillu: Oki, but how does this help me? I'm still on square one. My desktops are pretty much the same. I appreciate you effort, but I must be slow or something :P [14:52] cwillu, heh, sorry about that :) [14:52] PatrickMello, no, it won't affect anything. It's 'full' after boot because the system just finished reading all that stuff, but it's reclaimable at negligable cost [14:52] patrik, rather [14:52] Alright,so I was finally able to install Windows XP again and pass the problem with GRUB ,but now I can't see my second partition ( not even with slackware ) on Windows ,because I may have accidentally done a sudo grub-install on that partition ..but I don't think so because I only did so on my root .. any suggestions as to why this might be happening ? [14:52] patrik, and at boot, there's nothing to displace yet anyway [14:53] Gullstad, was it at none or at normal before? [14:53] cwillu: I'm thinking of moving to Mandriva or Fedora soon, I might not be here for too much longer :) [14:53] cwillu: Normal, and the I switched it to "None" [14:53] Cwiiis, hurry up :p [14:53] hehe... [14:53] * cwillu wants his first three letters back :p [14:54] i upgraded to 8.10 in a hurry and installed an x64 bit OS. my computer is not x64. i suspect that this has been the reason my video has been flickering and sound cuts out. [14:54] Gullstad, and then under prefs | screen resolution, what does it show? [14:54] work around for switching to x32? [14:54] <|{53> patrik: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2005-05/2373.html [14:54] The partition was not detected by ubuntu/slackware/windows ( the partition had NTFS and ALL my data (it was the backup partition ironically ) ) [14:54] notkoosh, you must have a 64bit cpu if it works at all [14:54] notkoosh, if your computer is not 64-bit a b64 bit OS will refuse to run at all [14:54] .. [14:54] |{53, Cool, thanks [14:54] notkoosh, open a terminal (apps | accessories | terminal) and type uname -a [14:55] notkoosh, and then type cat /proc/cpuinfo [14:55] cwillu: Hehe: "Must be connected to a terminal." - I'm running a therminal. [14:55] Gullstad, I'm sorry? [14:55] <|{53> therminal! :o [14:56] I am writing a web app behind apache which needs to edit some files under /etc directory, and requires root permissions, how can I pass on root permissions to [14:56] cwillu: It only says: Must be connected to a terminal. [14:56] www-data? [14:56] Gullstad, you have monitor resolution settings open? [14:56] and it says that? [14:56] <|{53> rmz100: this is dangerous. [14:56] clflush size : 64 [14:57] :D [14:57] rmz100, you would need to change the owner/permissions on the appropriate files in etc, and/or run your app under an account with the right privileges [14:57] <|{53> rmz100: is your web app visible to the Internet? [14:57] rmz100, this is dangerous ground, very easy to make subtle errors [14:57] hi everybody... I get the impression that openntpd only synchronises my clock if I do not let it daemonise (i.e. if I run it as with openntpd -d)... any debugging tips? [14:58] UnknownUser56: you could try create a gparted boot cd and use that to check, but it's not sounding good for your backup partition. [14:58] |{53, not good enough, his webapp needs to be secure against xss attacks even if it only listens on localhost, if the machine ever runs even a browser [14:58] cwillu , |{53 I agree [14:58] cwillu: One unknows scree with the resulution 1280:800... In the monito resolution windows. [14:58] i will continue to google for the flickering video/ in and out sound. [14:58] rmz100, never change file in etc from root, thats stupid [14:58] thank you. [14:58] recon69: That's what I'm afraid of .. even more than passing the upcoming uni exams :( [14:58] rmz100, how familiar are you with cross-site-scripting? [14:59] I am familiar with cross site scripting [14:59] kowey: try making it output some kind of log.. there should be some kind of debug switch [14:59] <|{53> cwillu: True. Maybe it is a good idea to run it inside of Drupal or something similar.... [14:59] rmz100, and you're defending against them appropriately? [14:59] cwillu:99% [14:59] recon69:I remember reading somewhere that sudo grub-install erases all the data ,but not quite sure tho [14:59] rmz100, or are you screwed if I put an image on my site that points to a sensitive address on your localhost? [14:59] gpart it is then [14:59] Slart: ok, I will figure out if there are switches I can put into /etc/defaults/openntpd so that it outputs to a log, thanks [15:00] salut [15:00] The app is something which needs to run like webmin [15:00] kowey: it might already be logging to the syslog [15:00] (currently the situation is that I have clock skew, but no openntpd output in my syslog) [15:00] cwillu:how does webmin run? [15:00] but if I run it by hand without daemonising, it starts telling me that it's synchronising [15:00] rmz100, very insecurely [15:00] !webmin [15:00] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [15:00] something german here? [15:00] !de [15:00] (when I say I have clock skew, I mean that when I try to run make, it complains about clock skew) [15:00] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [15:00] |{53, cwillu, I just realized you can drop the cache through /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, perhaps that should be done automatically after an automated disk check. [15:00] rmz100, at a minimum, it _needs_ to be running over https [15:01] #strawhat [15:01] patrik, why? you don't have anything running yet, clearing the cache doesn't help you [15:01] patrik, cache is already reclaimed just as fast as completely unallocated memory [15:02] Slart: oops! looking at man ntpd does not indicate any flags related to log files [15:02] cwillu, It depends on how the cache is handled. If my cache is full and I start a new app. Will the new app get cached or will it keep the other data I already have in cache? [15:02] patrik, drop_caches is used to allow performance testing without requiring a reboot to account to cache effects, not to improve performance [15:02] patrik, you're not understanding what cache doesa [15:02] kowey: hmm.. let me see what I can find [15:02] !cache [15:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about cache [15:02] you open a new app, it allocates memory. As it uses that memory, the kernel will reclaim cache as necessary [15:02] but the app memory isn't _cached_ [15:02] <|{53> check out my screenshot: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4896/screenshotae4.png [15:03] patrik, we're not talking about cpu caches, nor application caches [15:03] I wonder, is there support for an usb keyboard with an ultranav (similar to synaptics touchpad i think) in intrepid? And will the support be set up correctly if I add the keyboard after the installation procedure is over? [15:04] |{53: nice background.. home made? screenshot from some game? and is it conky on the right side? [15:04] sweet desktop [15:04] cwillu, Yes I am. But the question is: When I load app1 it will get cached but when I load app2 (and the RAM is full) will it throw out the cache for app1 and replace it with app2? [15:05] patrik, what cache for app1? [15:05] the binary? [15:05] no data [15:05] that's not cache [15:05] that's app memory [15:05] the binary is already in mem [15:05] <|{53> patrik - you are confusing app RAM with disk cache. [15:05] hey there. Anybody know who should be sent to gitmo for thinking about including Pulseaudio? [15:05] if app1 has something in memory, it _may_ get swapped out if the system can use the memory better for other purposes [15:06] !topic [15:06] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [15:06] kowey: the switch -v seems to produce some kind of debug output to syslog [15:06] <|{53> patrik: if the RAM is lost for your app - it don't run. [15:06] patrik, can you be more specific which apps/use-cases you're worried about? [15:06] kowey: you can also send ntpd the SIGINFO signal to make it log some status info to the syslog [15:06] hello all! I'm running 8.04. Today I received some question about approving nexus.passport.com for pidgin. Is it ok to accept that certificate? It said the root certificate was unknown... [15:07] so I was just dragging an item into my trash and the desktop froze. how can I shut down that process with out restarting x? [15:07] sanguisdex1, killall nautilus [15:07] spunk_: hmm. I haven't seen any such requests from pidgin.. I use msn and icq [15:07] sanguisdex1, killall -KILL nautilus if the first doesn't work [15:07] Slart: thanks! [15:07] spunk_, best bet would be to ask in #pidgin [15:07] spunk_: when in doubt, click 'no' [15:07] can I safely remove pulseaudio? [15:07] * kowey tries the SIGINFO trick [15:07] cwillu, |{53, Sorry if I'm not clear enough, but what I'm wondering about is, when will cache data be thrown out for better cache data? [15:07] sammyF, why would you want to do a silly thing like that? :p [15:07] Ok. It might have been some temporary network fluke. I'll start Pidgin again and test it. [15:07] sammyF: just switch to alsa instead [15:08] sammyF: it shouldn't destroy your machine.. so in that sense it's safe [15:08] patrik, yes, but that's not what you want to ask I don't think, judging from what you've said [15:08] sammyF: you don't have to completely remove pulseaudio if you don't want to use it [15:08] cwillu: Ok, ill try that if it persist. [15:08] sammyF: sound might not work the same though [15:08] patrik, cache has nothing to do with individual processes [15:08] cwillu: let's see .. oh yeah : so that I get consistent sound output, like, pygames suddenly not finding the mixer and such? [15:08] cwillu: from where, any terminal? [15:08] have anybody using snownews [15:08] <|{53> patrik: Interesting question. Something I would like to know myself. [15:08] ? [15:08] netyire: Yes, you are right, I declined the request.

[15:10] |{53: to test other distros and difernt setups for ubuntu [15:10] cwillu, Yes, what gets read from the disk is often determined by the apps. [15:10] sammyF: oh, I see.

[15:11] cwillu: yeah ... but it was a 7.04 install originally, so I disabled pulseaudio when I upgraded to 8.04 ... due to the same problems I have now [15:11] Slart: err... how do I send the SIGINFO signal?

[15:12] sammyF: try alsa if pulse is buggy, if you want to allow more than two applications to use the soundcard at the same time, install alsa-oss and run apps with aoss , you can change the shortcuts of common programs in the menu like firefox. [15:12] netyire: thanks. I'll try that [15:12] :-) [15:12] <|{53> patrik: It seems like a 'deep' question that maybe devs would only know the answer to.

The nautilus missing the folder name is probably a bug of some description; [16:04] Oh, find your network card and tell me what is under "configuration" for the card, emocow [16:04] pcooper, sammyF: shouldn't that be "build-essential"?

I'm having problems with my alsa settings. [16:05] cwillu: i only started using ubuntu yesterday, so this will do for now [16:05] pcooper: sudo apt-cache search gcc turns up lots of refrences.. sudo apt-get install build-essential will install an environment for compiling pkgs and other things. [16:05] pcooper, there is a gcc package though, not sure why adept doesn't show it [16:06] !info gcc [16:06] gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.74ubuntu2)): The GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.3.1-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB [16:06] as far as I can see, it looks ok on that. [16:06] emocow, the driver being used is ath_pci. Which means you have a atheros card. [16:06] Yep.

[16:09] ah [16:09] any opinion on my chances of complete nervous breakdown in trying a Creative Labs X-Fi with 8.10 ? [16:09] Now, how would I go about doing that? [16:09] helo [16:09] I've never done that before, tbh [16:09] feddozz -> something has to trigger it to send yes? receiving is basically put in the buffer..

[16:10] n8user> I just want it to check for new email automatically [16:10] cwillu: what seams reasonable ? [16:10] keNzi -> yes, you can have fedora and use debootstrap to install ubuntu [16:10] edju: you're not using Gnome, right? [16:10] edju, the GTK library is already installed, because it's needed by GNOME (and most programs) in Ubuntu [16:10] edju, probably a combination of libgtk-*-dev [16:10] sammyF, No, not gnome. [16:11] LjL, he'll need the dev libs [16:11] to compile against [16:11] cwillu: if it's a proprietary program as he says, it certainly won't be in source code form... [16:11] maybe, dunno, guess it's not source, eh [16:11] feddozz -> then you monitor the directory where the mail is queued, but if its a pop you have to use a cron like mechanism to log on to yahoo lets say and download the mail [16:11] is there any way to disable the whitelist system from firefox?

[17:17] android6011: Then support is in #ubuntu+1 [17:17] gorski, use the patch command. [17:17] how do I tell cp to copy only files , and not directories/ [17:17] ? [17:17] LargePrime you could just install it and hope, that you dont run into some specific problem. there is a good chance, that it will work [17:17] I've managed to install transmission from source or something (cant actually remember how) and now I cant get it uninstalled. Any ideas? [17:17] TuxMan1, it won't copy directories unless you specify the --recursive option [17:17] how do i make the icons on my gnome desktop smaller? [17:18] osxdude|laptop: i used patch -p1 < streamtuner-0.99.99-live365.diff but i do not know to wich file [17:18] eighty4, download the same source tarball again. if you're lucky, you can run `sudo make uninstall'. if not, you will have to go through the `Makefile' looking for the files it installed, and manually remove them. [17:18] oh. [17:18] DRebellion : I did : cp *.* Dest/ and it also copied the contents of a directory which has GGG.GGG === martin_ is now known as kman === kman is now known as kmansix [17:18] gorski, how did you install it? [17:18] how do i set permissions for a file ? it says im not the owner, cause im logged in as user [17:18] synaptic [17:19] hmw_ the problem is that the install writes to the current computers Boot drive, not the drive I want to move into the new computer [17:19] mrrcp: try the settings of your nautilus (file browser) - there are settings for zoom levels, it applies also to the desktop [17:19] berhane_zion: is that file in your home directory? [17:19] berhane_zion: use sudo [17:19] TuxMan1, hmm... i'm not sure what happened there [17:19] wheres that [17:19] i can login as root with the sudo su command, but then when i open filebrowser it still says im not the owner [17:19] LargePrime you will need to run grub manually and install the boot loader to the correct disk [17:19] so i figure i have to use commands to change permissions as root [17:19] but how ? [17:19] berhane_zion: gksudo to use graphical applications [17:19] gorski, you should just be able to upgrade it. [17:19] berhane_zion, look up the `chown' command [17:20] berhane_zion: "sudo su" (and, by the way, you really should use "sudo -i" instead) only makes you root in *that* terminal that you're using [17:20] LargePrime you might also have to adjust /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:20] oh [17:20] berhane_zion: but i'll ask again - why do you want to change a file's permissions? is that file in your home directory? [17:20] osxdude|laptop: synaptic [17:20] DRebellion: thanks :) I've been trying to uninstall it for an hour or so. Trying from a different tarball.

[17:20] gorski, you should just be able to upgrade it in synaptic [17:20] I believe its pl2303 based [17:20] LargePrime (you can change the boot settings manually in the boot screen, ifthe drive settings dont fit) [17:20] LargePrime: i am sure there is.

[17:21] berhane_zion: sudo chmod a+rw /www/var/subdirectoryname will give everyone read and write permission on that subdirectory [17:22] berhane_zion: it's not necessarily a very good idea.

[17:22] berhane_zion: a better way to do it is to add them to the www-data group, then give the www-data group write permissions [17:22] berhane_zion: no. it will make you only in the terminal you're using. it would be absurd and dangerous to be root everywhere.

[17:58] InfectedWithDrew: There are no mirrors availabe for this file at this time, *please* *try* *again* *later* [17:58] benoka, usually in the laptop's BIOS you can completley disable the card. heck, you might be able to just open a panel on the bottom of your laptop and take the card out altogether. [17:59] erUSUL, fine. [17:59] What exactly is the correct way of restarting pulseaudio? Once it's down I cannot for the life of me get it back up. Restarting/reloading/anything from /etc/init.d/pulseaudio does not help getting the audio back. [17:59] gammy: so you get no sound? [17:59] gammy: did you get any error saying it's pulseaudio's fault? [18:00] Hello , I running Ubuntu with Wubi . and i wonder if i can view my movies in my Xp Folders [18:00] anyone here able to help me with a vbox installation problem? [18:00] osxdude|laptop: i have a button to enable or disable wireless, but that then takes away the whole connection (greys out my USB one too) [18:01] snuitje: Right. I get no error messages or warnings of any kind from any log. I just switched back from plain ALSA to pulseaudio use since a scraping noise in the left speakers came back after the switch(after upgrading to intrepid) [18:01] osxdude|laptop: the reason i didn't want to do it via bios is because I may need the built-in one [18:01] snuitje: Switching to pulseaido from the gnome sound selector killed the sound. So I restarted pulseadio manually and now it won't come back. [18:01] osxdude|laptop: for the case the USB stick would go down (it's a netgear wpn111, heard it can only stay online for 3 hours) [18:01] snuitje: pulseaudio even. [18:02] osxdude|laptop: plus sometimes i'm logging on to windows too where I may need the card - isn't there a way to enable/disable cards separately? [18:02] how do i go about troubleshooting the reason why when i use ssh -X from my laptop the gtk themes don't apply properly, and when i do it from my desktop they do, when running gtk2 apps? im using the same theme on the desktop and laptop. [18:03] I just did a clean install of intrepid and the alsa (realtek ALC268) problem disappeared, problem with crackling for me was SDLmixer [18:04] gammy: wait a minute, im not getting any audio either atm -_-''' [18:04] hey guys... anyone here noticed a bug when you close ur laptop and put it to sleep... upon waking it up SOMETIMES it does not require a login? [18:05] Sinnerman what are you trying to do the -X? [18:05] snuitje: I just read in /etc/default/pulseaudio that the init script is not used. It instead uses per-session handling via GNOME. [18:05] snuitje: that explains why the script was acting so oddly I suppose. [18:05] sudobash: using ssh -X to forward X, to run, say, xchat or pidgin on my laptop from the desktop into which im ssh-ing to. [18:05] I have a question about cloning a drive from a smaller harddrive to a larger one - I'm moving from the 40gB drive I'm booting from, to a 120gB drive I'd -like- to boot from, and retain all of my settings, etc. [18:05] -x Disables X11 forwarding [18:05] Under gnome terminal what keystroke breaks you out of a cisco traceroute ? cisco is accessed via telnet from the terminal session. [18:05] I've read about the dd command, and something about rsync, but... [18:06] So far all I've been left with is confusion [18:06] did you make sure it is -X [18:06] ziggles, report it to launchpad ad describe the symptoms and steps to reproduce. also make sure you give laptop info ( brand, model...) [18:06] Hargo, you can do a tar -czvf of your current system, then manually create the fs, and extract the archive [18:06] gammy: are you running 8.10 or jaunty? [18:06] sudobash: i need the X forwarding. what im wondering is why when i do it from the desktop, the gtk theme displays properly, and when i do it from the laptop, it does not. [18:06] snuitje: 8.10 [18:06] Joaopinto: Wha? [18:06] sudobash: i did make sure. [18:06] snuitje: (Sorry but I don't know what jaunty is?) [18:07] hi [18:07] gammy: the next version, to be released april next year [18:07] Hargo, you can create a tar archive of your current system, or use rsync (noted now that you mentioned it) [18:07] how can I mount an iso file without root privileges? [18:07] check compression [18:07] Alright. How do I do that, joaopinto? The rsync. [18:07] Hargo, just insert your new disk, create a filesystem on it, mount it, and rsync to it [18:07] snuitje: Ah. No. No no no no. Intrepid is so damn buggy I'm almost considering going back to CP/M. :D [18:07] Right. I'm new at this. How? [18:07] snuitje: Are you on the same configuration? [18:08] sudobash: what's compression got to do with my gtk themes not displaying properly? [18:08] Sorry , i want to ask you about the well known ATI RADEON HD-2400 BUG. (overlays on 3d applications) [18:08] Hargo, first connect your new disk, and create the partition using the partition editor [18:08] gammy: i have 8.10 on my laptop [18:08] Joaopinto: Got it, done. Formatted as ext3. [18:08] gammy: pulseaudio seems to be working neatly [18:08] osxdude|laptop: maybe I'm asking something impossible, but i indeed miss nic enabling/disabling GUI option in intrepid [18:08] Hargo, anyway, this kind of cloning requires some linux skills, you will need to reinstall/change your boot config [18:08] I just fixed my ATI Radeon HD problem by turning off compiz and all effects [18:09] ive got HD 2600 [18:09] Joaopinto: Alright, how do I do that? [18:09] snuitje: I'll see if mplayer will use pulseaudio if I force the audio output driver [18:09] Hargo, right now you should read "man rsync" :P [18:09] IdleOne: that's the thing... i dont know how to reproduce it so i was trying to see if anyone else had the same issue [18:09] snuitje: It fails. [18:09] you will need to --exclude sobre dirs from copy, like /proc and /sys [18:09] Sobre? [18:09] ziggles, this has happened to you more then once? [18:10] gammy: afaik, all applications that use alsa (at least when they try to use "default:") are sent through pulseaudio [18:10] Hargo, let me try to find an url with instructions [18:10] sudobash: yes? [18:10] Joaopinto: Thank you. [18:10] IdleOne: i just noticed it yesterday so at this point i would say just once [18:10] I can select one of 7 states of my program Gajim at the bottom of the roster: Available, Free for Chat, Away, Not Available, Busy, Invisible, Abgemeldet. How are these 7 states defined? === andymd is now known as Mike [18:10] gammy: also, if i kill off pulseaudio it seems to restart itself when i open up rhythmbox and play some music [18:10] snuitje: That's not quite true. "default" just means hw:0 which is just dmix, alsa's mixer. It doesn't necessarily "go through" a sound daemon. [18:10] Joaopinto: This is the one I've been looking at primarily. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/learn-the-dd-command-362506/ [18:10] gammy: that's not true either [18:10] Is there a workaround to sleep/hibernation? === Mike is now known as andymd [18:11] what exactly is not working about your theme? [18:11] Hargo, dd is not recommended for disks with differente size [18:11] gammy: on ubuntu default: should be a software mixing device [18:11] I got that. :) That's why I was looking at the rsync command that was mentioned. [18:12] monadwr try system > preferences > power management [18:12] anyone successfully installed a jabber server on ubuntu 8 via aptitude? I tried jabberd2 but the dist. seems to be broken [18:12] snuitje: Uh, heh, ok. Try coding with libao or fmod or dumb or something and you'll notice that you will manually have to select how to handle output. It doesn't magically go from one to the other :) [18:12] Hey everyone. My computer isn't giving me any sound why is that? [18:12] <]{53> allan: have you looked at openfire? [18:12] dont think so [18:12] what's openfire [18:12] snuitje: dmix IS a software mixer. It's alsa's mixer. pulseaudio can use it. What I'm doing right now though is forcing mplayer to use pulse. And it's failing. [18:12] Hargo, http://ithacafreesoftware.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53 (however it uses a different method, you need to boot from a live cd for this approach) [18:13] snuitje: Something else that's interesting - I cannot run alsamixer, "ALSA lib pulse.c:272:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Access denied" [18:13] <]{53> Hammi_: I was talking to allan. [18:13] gammy: aha [18:13] Joaopinto: Got a liveCD, so that's not a problem. Reading now, will get back to you. [18:13] gammy: try ls -l /dev/mixer [18:13] where on a terminal? [18:13] MarZau: And then [18:13] i was having trouble with setting my mic on skype. in the volume control it is front mic, but in skype all i see are other options such as intel0, pulse and so on. i've been trying all the different options and not much luck yet. same goes for audacity. i also installed the pulse audio manager to see if i can do anything from there. what i did find is that the capture device it is set to is wrong but i dont know how to chan [18:13] ge it. [18:13] Hargo, also http://majen.net/docs/linux-clone-howto.txt :) [18:13] snuitje: It looks fine, root:audio, nothing unusual [18:14] MarZau: I don't think my gui frontend for power management configuration is the issue here, but resuming from suspended states. [18:14] gammy: and you're in the audio group, right? [18:14] audio group [18:14] snuitje: Yes. I had audio working ten minutes ago before changing my pulseaudio settings :). [18:14] gammy: yes, right :) [18:14] how do you change your audio settings? [18:14] my sounds kinda doesnt work out of nowhere [18:14] snuitje: Er I just noticed I have alsa support [18:14] Hammi_: run gnome-sound-properties [18:14] ]{53: nope, I’ll try that, thanks (I assume you are indirectly saying the apt-get package should be ok) [18:15] snuitje: (Using alsa as the audio driver works) [18:15] gammy: well everything has to go through alsa eventually [18:15] ok thanx [18:15] Sorry , i want to ask you about the well known ATI RADEON HD-2400 BUG. (overlays on 3d applications) [18:15] snuitje: Indeed. [18:15] gammy: hm ok, and it won't work with autodetect? [18:15] gammy: that could be a bug [18:15] monadwr, well I was just going to say you can turn off hibernation completely, but it could be a few causes, drivers, hardware, bios setting. [18:15] snuitje: Sure it will, mplayer defaults to it :) [18:15] <]{53> allan: I don't think there is an apt-get package for that, I just know that it is a really good jabber server. [18:15] snuitje: That doesn't help me much with getting pulseaudio working though :) [18:15] gammy: i mean autodetect in the pulseaudio settings [18:16] MarZau: Did I say I wanted to disable hibernation? [18:16] gammy: ah you mean mplayer -ao alsa [18:16] gammy: i do that all the time [18:16] hi everyone! [18:16] gammy: do you have a .asoundrc? [18:16] I installed virtualbox-ose version 1.5.6-dfsg-6ubunut1, but when I run it and go to Help=>About, it says version 1.6.2. Is this to be expected? === bruenig_ is now known as bruenig [18:16] snuitje: No. [18:16] gammy: is there anything else running that uses audio? [18:17] snuitje: No. rhythmbox crashed when pulseaudio died. [18:17] gammy: lol [18:17] how use 5.1 chanels on CMedia? everybody know? [18:17] sudobash: thanks for the help. thing got fixed. [18:17] snuitje: Man this blows. How pathetic. Do I really have to bloody reboot to get my sound back? [18:17] Joaopinto: How big should my swap partition be? [18:18] in gnome, in keyboard shortcuts there are only "Switch to workspace 1" and "Switch to workspace 2" how do i add buttos to switch to workspace 3 and 4 etc? [18:18] how use 5.1 chanels on CMedia? everybody know? [18:18] Gammy: Rebooting isn't a biddeal. [18:18] snuitje: Or, rather, do I have to reboot to start pulseaudio? Haha [18:18] Hargo: Actually it is a *huge* deal because this machine is being used by more than one person at the same time. [18:18] Hargo, I usually do it 2xram [18:18] Gammy: Right, I concede the point. *Tips his hat.* [18:18] Joaopinto: Thanks. [18:19] Hargo: Hmmm what kind of hat. [18:19] anyone here know about ubuntu packaging? [18:19] gammy: if you log out and then log in a virtual console, kill off any remaining processes in ps x, that could work [18:20] snuitje: Yeah that's true. How bloody stupid is that though. [18:20] * Mustinet ping me [18:20] Gammy: Technically, not a hat that's tippable, but I got in the habit back when I was wearing a fedora regularly. [18:20] snuitje: Man stuff like this is so crappy :( [18:20] hey [18:20] Hargo: :D [18:20] why nobody answer on my question?( [18:20] kamg, for ubuntu packaging better ask on #ubuntu-motu [18:21] thanks [18:21] gammy: if you run pulse-session manually [18:21] how do you set an icon for something in the menu? [18:21] gammy: what does it say? [18:21] ]{53: you’re right, no apt-get for openfire :( [18:21] snuitje: Oh hey look [18:21] snuitje: :D [18:21] i upgraded my system to 8.10 and now no more sound in flash ?? [18:21] snuitje: It started my session and it works ^____^ [18:22] New question. In gParted, is there any particular reason I'm seeing the Swap partition for my currently in-use boot drive "inside" an "extended" partition? [18:22] gammy: kewl [18:22] <]{53> allan: http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/index.jsp [18:22] snuitje: Awesome. [18:22] <]{53> allan: they have a deb. [18:22] snuitje: Thank you very much. I must take a look at what it does! [18:22] gammy: if only i thought of that before :D [18:23] "failed to join domain: failed to get DC for domain BLAH.LOCAL" issue in Intrepid - anyone else solve this? "net ads lookup dc" and "net ads info" work fine. see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6252005 (entry by DouglasK on pg 18) [18:23] /dev/sda1 is ext3, flagged as boot... /dev/sda2 is extended, and 1.41 gigs... /dev/sda5 (which appears as a subpartition of /dev/sda2) is linux-swap and also 1.41 gigs. [18:23] snuitje: Oh my that was basic. [18:24] Hargo: the reason is simply... that your partitions *are* set up that way. [18:24] hello. i am installing ubuntu on my flash drive (bootable), and i was wondering if there is a way to have it also run natively in windows. i have seen tutorial for making a bootable usb or running ubuntu in windows, but not both. is this even possible? [18:24] snuitje: it just daemonizes the process. Huh. Odd that starting it in the foreground didn't work properlt? [18:24] snuitje: properly even. [18:24] snuitje: Well, thanks again for the help. Excellent. Brilliant. Fantastic :D [18:24] LjL: Right. Now, since I'm trying to clone this drive to another (larger) drive, how do I set up the second drive so that I can do that? [18:24] gammy: yw ^^ [18:24] MiceAreNiceVac: err, isn't running Ubuntu *natively* but *in Windows* a contradiction in terms? [18:25] howdy.. anyone be able to help me fix a error 5 in Grub? I just did a dual boot (Ubuntu and Mint) and that's what's coming up... any help at all would be great! [18:25] Hargo: if you want to keep that setup, you create a primary partition (hda1), then an extended (hda2), and put only a logical swap partition (hda5) in the extended === bruenig is now known as bruenig_ [18:25] LjL, yeahe. i want to be able to boot from it sometimes, and also be able to run it as a program in windows at other times. [18:25] i upgraded my system to 8.10 and now no more sound in flash ?? [18:25] LjL: How can I do that? [18:26] MiceAreNiceVac: the only way to run it "as a program in windows" is to use a virtual machine, such as VirtualBox or VMWare [18:27] how do i make sure a certain device does not get auto-mounted? [18:27] LjL: what about KQemu? [18:27] LjL, qemu is a vm, yes [18:27] MiceAreNiceVac, rather [18:27] MiceAreNiceVac: you might be able to get away with adding your physical hard drive as a device in vmware, then run your ubuntu installation in the vm [18:28] MiceAreNiceVac: KQemu is just a launcher for Qemu... but yes (although it will be slower) [18:28] MiceAreNiceVac: all sorts of weird things can happen though [18:28] Hargo, i can't try it in GParted on my system (or i'd have to delete a few partition to try), but it should be pretty intuitive... [18:28] LjL: Alright. I'll try figuring it out. :) [18:28] LjL: hmm, does windows need to have vmplayer/vmware running? [18:28] LjL: kqemu is the kernel module for qemu right? makes vms faster by running the vm natively on the cpu [18:29] ljl: at least parts of it [18:29] snuitje: there's two things called KQemu, one is the kernel module, yes, the other is merely a launcher [18:29] hola [18:29] ljl: allright =) [18:29] MiceAreNiceVac: yes, of course it does, how else would one run another system inside it?

Logging filesystems pretty much guarantee that the filesystem will remain consistent === witriew_ is now known as witriew [18:36] snuitje : Do you recommend not to install VirtualBox. [18:36] Hi! [18:37] otuks: i just tried "System -> Preferences -> Sound" [18:37] otuks: and i got: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused [18:37] azharcs virtulbox works fine in linux, heard not so good in windows [18:37] azharcs: well i don't really like virtualbox that much, vmware has more features and performs well [18:37] ozzloy: i here am having a problem with jaunty and amarok, am doesn't start at all but no problems with sound. i had a problem earlier with jaunty so that it got muted with the start up of the os [18:37] azharcs: I've used vmware server and vbox.. both are good.. both have their pluses and minuses.. vbox gets usb support only if you download it from their site and set it up correctly..

[18:37] yao_ziyuan1, basically, there's a very brief check that occurs when the filesystem is mounted, consisting of checking every action that was logged but not completed. It's a straightforward matter to undo those actions so that the filesystem remains consistent [18:37] ozzloy: do you have a little red X by your speaker on the task bar? [18:38] chemmy I am planning to install VirtualBox on my Ubuntu 8.04 [18:38] CaBlGuY: heh, no [18:38] << likes virtualbox [18:38] snuitje : Isn't vmware a paid software.

How do I get Ubuntu to map those to the corresponding shortcuts? Right now it doesn't seem to recognize those keys at all, at least not in The GIMP. [18:38] azharcs: vmware-server, vmware-esx and vmware-player aren't [18:38] ozzloy: ok, just checkin.. it's good to be sure b4 ya start suggestin stuff. ;) [18:38] i used it on 8.04, worked okay === raktunak is now known as MoReLLA [18:38] ozzloy: ok, seems your problem may be worse than a muted master volume, .. :) i'm a beginner with ubuntu but had the problem i explained earlier [18:38] azharcs: vmware-workstation and vmware-virtualcenter can be renewed every 30 days by requesting a new trial key ^^ [18:39] azharcs: vmware server and I think it's called emx or something like that are non-free and unpaid. free to download.. [18:39] Scunizi : Will check out Virtualbox, have to read the documentation first. [18:39] azharcs: if you get stuck #vbox at times is a good resource [18:39] azharcs: http://www.easyvmx.com/ this can get you a vm for vmware player [18:39] no, this is definitely deeper than a sound slider being all the way down. i'm getting error messages [18:40] azharcs: lsilogic scsi performs best, but for winxp you'll need a driver disk, it's all in the guest os install guide, google it you'll find lots of info ;) [18:40] is creating an archive the same as compressing a file? [18:40] ^yes [18:40] is there a dvd burning application that i can use for 8.10 that allows me to set booktype/bitsetting ? [18:40] ozzloy: sounds like you may be havin some driver issues.. you may want to go do a search on your computers audio hardware for Ubuntu [18:40] or, try the wiki.. [18:40] !wiki [18:40] http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu development documentation wiki. If you are looking for system help, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community - the Ubuntu community documentation. [18:41] Scumizi : Thanks, will go with VMware then [18:41] droopsta915: not exactly, an archive can contain one or more files/directories [18:41] thedoc^: not sure what that is.. but have you looked at k3b.. lots of advanced settings in that one that can be changed [18:41] snuitje : Thanks, will read all the info, hope it is easy. Does it work in AMD_64 as well [18:41] azharcs: yes, and you can get a 64 bit vm, with smp too iirc [18:41] ok, anyone have any experience with error 5? I need to find a fix.. [18:42] !ask | CaBlGuY [18:42] my computer is running slow, im backing everything up and reinstalling, any recommendations? [18:42] CaBlGuY: 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. :-) [18:42] Scunizi - yeah i was looking through brasero / didnt find the option, bitsetting is basically the ability to change DVD+R formats to more readable DVD-ROM formats for example [18:42] azharcs: either way you go you'll have to install build-essential [18:42] droopsta915 You can compress a file without packaging multiple files together, and you can archive files together without compressing them. In windows terms, zip files usually do both, but the 'store' compression method just does the archiving without compressing [18:42] snuitjeL vmware has a forum tho, this is the ubuntu channel, so good luck ^^ [18:42] CaBlGuY: these speakers worked yesterday [18:42] provided if your burner allows bitsetting/booktyping [18:42] thedoc^: k3b might be the answer then === Mustinet is now known as Ferhunde [18:42] LogicalDash: done asked some time ago.. no one has given any sggestions yet... sorry.. [18:43] ozzloy: Hmmmm maybe some loose cables then.. I dunno.. [18:43] *shrugs* [18:43] CaBlGuY: The forums are better for especially involved troubleshooting, or if the problem is really obscure [18:43] Thanks everyone for the help. Appreciated. [18:43] LogicalDash: k... thanks I'll have a look later then.. [18:44] Question. [18:44] shoot [18:44] Why, when I try the following command: "rsync -avxP /mnt/hda1 /mnt/hdb1", would I get a Permission Denied on many of the files that are listed? [18:44] my last question is , i've upgraded to 8.10, was there a workaroud for nvidia laptop GPU cards? / i upgraded last night to 8.10 from 8.04 LTS / and my external CRT monitor connected to my laptop wouldn't turn on nor become recognized in the resolutions [18:44] Particularly if I run as root. [18:44] CaBlGuY: no, i'm getting error messages. this is a conflicting sound server problem. the error message from "System -> Preferences -> Sound" is `audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused` [18:45] azharcs: btw i meant to tell you about vmware forum, scheize [18:45] Scunizi - yeah i'll check out k3b for the burning app [18:45] how do i kill the gnome sound server? [18:45] snuitje : you mean vmwareforum.org [18:47] hi [18:48] i am in a great need of support, could someone help me? [18:48] ozzloy: Do you know the name of the process? If so, you can use killall [18:48] !ask | vili [18:48] vili: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[18:50] snuitje: Thanks will check it out === fikret is now known as Cevriye_Kaynana [18:51] LogicalDash: It's still returning "device is busy" [18:51] vili: You say you deleted a connection from network manager. Do you mean that you deleted a device, such as eth1, or a network, such as 2WIRE101? [18:51] Hi. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10. Whenever, I play Torcs, the sound gets stuck at random times and Torcs crashes. It once happened when I opened a presentation containing sound effects in open office too. But playing music with Rhythmbox for several hours works fine. Is there any setting I can change to fix thie? [18:52] just got ubuntu [18:52] Hargo: you might try the -l and -r options, read the manpage [18:52] LogicalDash: i just deleted a created "Auto KotiWLAN" connection because it was connection with a wrong password all the time ( i use WPA) [18:52] hi, im a KDE guy... i wonder is there a way how to manipulate clipboard content in commandline in gnome? in kde it's a cakewalk with dcop... [18:52] LogicalDash: What I'm really trying to do is stop an in-progress rsync. [18:52] Hargo: Have you killed the process? You probably should. [18:53] LogicalDash: Which process should I kill? [18:53] Hargo: Whichever one's doing the sync, I dunno ;-) [18:53] how do I get a Pharos GPS-500 sirf III to work in virtualbox guest XP, I tried the alt+inset to add but nothing shows up [18:53] LogicalDash: I started rsync through the terminal. [18:53] <_2> does anyone know how to setup /etc/network/interfaces to get eth? set as PROMISC ? inet6 addr: fe80::240:f4ff:fe28:3e97/64 Scope:Link [18:53] <_2> UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 [18:53] LogicalDash, CaBlGuY otuks: turns out restarting pulseaudio fixed it! [18:53] Hargo: Well, if you go to that terminal and hit Ctrl+C it'll kill the process [18:54] LogicalDash, CaBlGuY otuks: thanks for your time [18:54] ozzloy: good for you.. :) === Cevriye_Kaynana is now known as Mustinet [18:54] hi guys, what's a good app to check the cpu temp? [18:54] starenka: #gnome, irc.gimp.org try them =) [18:54] just installed 8.10 .. downloaded the 64bit flash plugin but no matter what directory I place it in, firefox will not load the plugin. [18:54] racquad, there is a gnome panel applet that can show you. [18:54] LogicalDash: And if I already closed the window? [18:55] vili: OK, so when you click on the network manager applet, you don't get a list of wireless networks like you're supposed to?

I cleared firefox's cache but that didnt resolve the problem. And I can access google.com on my mac but not on my ubuntu box... [18:55] LogicalDash: What would it be called? [18:55] racquad, sensors-applet. [18:55] Can anybody help with Rythmbox? [18:55] the host is hardy heron, the guests are both centos [18:55] LogicalDash: yeah, then i switched to wicd as someone in the forum suggested, i have tried restarting drivers. wicd doesn't find a connection either [18:56] ]{53: I took the deb, but it depends on “sun-java5-jre | sun-java6-jre” — via aptitude I only have openjdk-6-jre — I have never installed directly via dpkg before, is this where I just drop it, or can I “force” it (or similar) to use openjdk-6-jre? [18:56] <_2> racquad http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/19251 [18:56] vili: It might be a bad idea to run both Network Manager and wicd at the same time.

[18:57] whats the big difff in ....ubuntu and linux [18:57] vili: You could try purging network-manager (thus deleting its config files) and installing it again [18:57] can someone verify that they can see me [18:57] vili: Unless you don't want to use network-manager? [18:57] rtark, yes [18:57] hey rtark i see ya [18:57] thanks, this was my first time [18:57] LogicalDash: i will use itif it works, only tried wicd as a fix [18:58] Can somebody please tell me how to prevent duplicate entries in RYTHMBOX and when transfering to my iPOD?

[18:58] ciao [18:58] vili: Well, this does sound like your config files got messed up, so I would suggest running "sudo apt-get purge network-manager", then "sudo apt-get install network-manager" [18:58] do you have to install a driver for the pharos GPS-500 in ubuntu before it will work in the virtualbox guest XP? [18:58] can somebody tell me how to setup kvm so my guest OSes and host OS can ping each other?

[19:12] Berri: check in firefox url "about:plugins" [19:12] droopsta915: virtually any CD burning package will also allow creating ISO images [19:13] vili: Anyway, what interests me about that output is that there's a kernel driver and two different modules associated with this hardware, and a failure in any one of those, or in communication between any two of those, could mess it up. So at this point I admit the end of my expertise and I'd just as soon start googling for the drivers and modules.

[19:25] kesi, you'd better let the system do that [19:25] Scunizi: yeah, i might add x-window-system-core before xfce4. hopefully it will be lighter that the whole xubuntu-desktop package. [19:25] kesi: remove your old kernels in the package manager [19:25] snuitje, ok, in synaptic? [19:25] anyone know any channel with active debate arounf free and open source software ?

[19:57] kibibyte> why aptitude add Translation-en_US to every repository path when im performing update? [19:57] it doesnt work then [19:57] lucax: it refers to how the software has been compiled. i686 compiled software will not run on 386, 486 or early pentium, but will run faster on newer CPU's cos it uses newer features of them. [19:57] VSpike, intel centrino duo which one of those it would be? [19:58] hey guys can someone tell me for what is this software names SWAT ? [19:58] nathan42100, have you rebooted yet?

It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler [19:58] !google | typhon [19:58] typhon: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [19:59] thanks [19:59] i will do it [19:59] good luck :) [19:59] hello, can anyone tell me if the CompTIA Linux+ cert is worth the effort?

[21:38] could anyone PLEASE help me know if my tv tuner card is identified by my box [21:38] I installed ubuntu it ran everything was good, then when I rebooted (cd out, bios set) the computer asked for a system disk rather than give me a boot option for ubuntu or windows. Right now I'm on the live CD because of that. How do I boot into the installed ubuntu? [21:38] so you don't sli, RomD? [21:39] is there a way to get rid of the nvidia drivers and use the default ones? [21:39] ok [21:39] you can't sli different cards ;) [21:39] le00,, you gotta mkdir /media/harddisk-name first [21:39] Some gspca Webcams not detected in ubuntu 8.10 and Kernel 2.6.27 anymore (for which in 8.04 an alternative driver had to be blacklisted) can any body tell me how to do that pls [21:39] <]{53> Demios1: make sure you have the correct disk selected in the BIOS.

[21:41] I have one physical drive, but it's split now into 3 partitions, one containing windows, one ubuntu and one as a swap partition. The order in the bios is correct and for some reason it's asking for a system disc and won't boot for a local disc [21:41] Zeelot3k: use root (hd0,0), that's the /boot partition right? /dev/sda1 [21:41] ]{53, would it list it under brand name? [21:41] Zeelot3k: grub needs to know where the kernel is [21:41] snuitje: its in /boot no? [21:41] snuitje: and by .jp I meant Japanese [21:42] Zeelot3k: yeah [21:42] snuitje: so root is the location of kernel [21:42] <]{53> wos: do you know the brand and model of the tuner card?? [21:42] hi guys! i'm in trouble with alsa! [21:42] Zeelot3k: that's why it says /vmlinuz and not /boot/vmlinuz... [21:42] snuitje: and the other one I lieve as 5?

[21:44] mphill: iirc, dpkg-reconfigure -plow console-setup gets you the question on the number of consoles to set up (it'll set the font and xkb settings for you) [21:45] <]{53> many times I searched for something through synaptics and I didn t find it because I did not know whick repositories to add. sometimes you dont know the name of the program just look for keywords so it is the other ting then you know you want to install skype for eg. [21:45] le00, yes, only you mkdir /media/harddisk-name already [21:45] mphill: hm, tty9 won't be set up by consolesetup but it could work i guess [21:45] any idea anyone? [21:45] ]{53 [21:45] if* [21:45] mphill: never tried it, if it works, i'd like a logtail or something similar running on tty9 [21:45] ]{53 I have one physical drive, but it's split now into 3 partitions, one containing windows, one ubuntu and one as a swap partition.

[21:49] snuitje: the ubuntu splash screen comes, a bunch of filesystem errors, then I get the kubuntu login but keyboard and mouse dont work [21:49] Zeelot3k: well, you shouldn't mix linux x86_64 and linux i386 kernel... [21:49] gnu2it2: or nfs itself (own fs) [21:49] Zeelot3k: might be related to the modules it can't load [21:50] <]{53> wos: those cards are suppose to work well with linux. Have you loaded a program to watch the video with? [21:50] i'm having a problem with my Evolution mail client to configur e it w/Gmail [21:50] gnu2it2: you want it to use with windows, too ? [21:50] is there a way to install a new kernel for kubuntu? or reinstall kubuntu 32bit without breaking ubuntu 64bit? [21:50] Zeelot3k: those modules would be x86_64 [21:50] Zeelot3k: they don't load into a plain i386 kernel ;) [21:50] I went to network-admin, entered my ssid, my wep key, and put it as DHCP... but first, I had the network-manager uninstalled before rebooting [21:50] ]{53, yes ive tried a lot [21:50] cpro* [21:50] snuitje: is there a way to install a new kernel for kubuntu? or reinstall kubuntu 32bit without breaking ubuntu 64bit?

[21:56] Zeelot3k: basically, kubuntu would mount /boot somewhere else, like /usr/local/boot, then bind mount /usr/local/boot/kubuntu on /boot [21:56] cxo: you will at least need build-essential [21:56] ok how do i do that?

[23:20] Brandano, reading straight out the brain ? [23:20] /ignore hexbase [23:20] and your like "open documents" and their like 'whut?' [23:20] hexbase: ?sudo? [23:20] Brandano, they've tried commanding jet planes in the us air force. [23:20] imachine: nope, using a keyboard with less than 10 keys [23:20] Brandano, thanks at least for the network properties. [23:20] <^Cheeky> can anyone shed some light. please, trying to connect to my virtual box using the connect to, under places ; but ... it does not connect, when i tried to ping my ip, of the virtual machine , it does connect either, can anyone give me a suggestion? [23:20] <]{53> !sudo | hexbase [23:20] hexbase: 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) [23:20] Brandano, with some devices like a helmet... reading the brainwaves. [23:21] thats not the problem [23:21] !fstab | hexbase [23:21] since the stenographer must be quicker than the person doing the speaking, he can type faster [23:21] hexbase: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [23:21] Brandano, it's spot on really, but needs the aircraft pilot to be quite concentrated. [23:21] if it could read my brain wave that would be super [23:21] rick_astley, well it was simple 'left right up down' stuff [23:21] imachine: I know, you have to think in russian [23:21] "simple" [23:21] <]{53> lol @ imachine [23:21] Brandano, not a problem ;] [23:21] hmm i only know english then [23:21] Does anyone know if it is possible to activate bluetooth while in sleep mode? [23:22] * Brandano watches as that movie erference flies by... [23:22] we need an american version of this brain wave things ;) [23:22] Hi, I'm running the following command to unrar all *.r00 files: 'find . | grep .r00 | xargs unrar e', but that dosn't work - do anyone have a better solution? [23:22] ]{53, why lol mate, the idea's good. [23:22] ]{53, it's the pebkac that causes failure. [23:22] pilot's got a bad day thinks I'd nail that fucker [23:22] bang [23:22] <]{53> johan_: do you have unrar installed? [23:22] seems dangerous [23:22] a rocket gets launched [23:22] tsk tsk [23:22] ;] [23:22] ]{53: yepp, I get: [23:22] did they test this thing [23:22] sigh [23:23] Extracting from ./South.Park.S03.DVDRip.XviD-BABAR/South.Park.S03E17.iNTERNAL.DVDRip.XviD-BABAR/south.park.s03e17.internal.dvdrip.xvid-babar.r08 [23:23] No files to extract [23:23] imachine: easier to give the pilot a control device. A joystick with a lot of buttons seems to work fine. It's vaguely allusive too, and military types seem to like that [23:23] ahh, right, this is a family friendly channel. [23:23] that's the first filename [23:23] sorry families. [23:23] ;] [23:23] "failed to join domain: failed to get DC for domain BLAH.LOCAL" issue in Intrepid - anyone else solve this? "net ads lookup dc" and "net ads info" work fine. see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6252005 (entry by DouglasK on pg 18) [23:23] Brandano, meh. [23:23] Brandano, dunno. never flew a plane. [23:23] <]{53> johan_: I am not sure of the command, but there should be a main .rar file that you can extract from in the GUI. [23:23] ]{53: Got a spare minute? [23:23] Brandano, I've heard about gliders tho, those seem to be cool. [23:23] i got a joystick for my PC [23:23] the EF2000 has voice commands, but only for non-critical tasks [23:23] <]{53> Alef-0: sure pm me. [23:23] i would rather have voice command for the XPlane Game though [23:23] Brandano, it appears that you can glide for quite some time. [23:24] <]{53> rick_astley: get a life.. [23:24] Brandano, there's these warm air ducts naturally existing over earth. [23:24] imachine: given the right conditions, you can glide forever [23:24] ]{53: the command is 'unrar e ', and it works fine if I do it manually, but as soon as I want to do with each .r00 file, I get that error. [23:24] my sound doesn't work. i recently installed gspca and "played" with pc speaker (tht is back now) [23:24] where is the login window theme located in the file sys [23:24] Brandano, and if you find them, they wind you up for free :) [23:24] you can slope soar on mountain ranges [23:24] uh thx J{53 [23:24] * Brandano is an aviation geek [23:24] any other useful comment today [23:24] Brandano, in effect, you can go on about 400-500 kilometers. [23:24] it's spot on really. [23:24] Brandano, I never realized. [23:25] can tell apart most of the planes that fly locally from the sound they make [23:25] Brandano, earth is amazing. [23:25] ah Ubuntu has issues with php and error logging :S [23:25] is this where we all hold hands and sing the cure the world song [23:25] here we are at our computers, drinking our heads silly, I wonder how much cool stuff we're unaware of. [23:25] <]{53> johan_: u need to unrar the rar file, not the .r00 files. [23:25] incidentally, anyone knows of a viable way to program an Hotas Cougar on Linux? [23:26] rick_astley, nah just getting thoughtful :} [23:26] where is the login window theme located in the file sys? [23:26] I do have an aplet to upload calibration data and axis assignment profile [23:26] I'll prolly finish of my heineken and pisso f to bed. [23:26] haha;) [23:26] breaking something on my server before that. [23:26] I suppose the same code base could be used to upload compiled programs on the device [23:26] where is the login window theme located in the file sys? /usr/share something? [23:26] ]{53: That does not matter, as it gives me the same error - and you can do 'unrar e .r00', which works. [23:26] Brandano, what's a Hotas Cougar ? [23:27] led: there's a login window manager in the user preferences [23:27] But now I got alot of paths via "list", and proceed them via xargs which does not work [23:27] sounds like a crappy MILF p0rn star nickname. [23:27] imachine: big, expensive joystick [23:27] <]{53> johan_: is it password protected? It also maybe corrupt. [23:27] do you guys use bitmap or truetype font in your gnome terminal [23:27] close enough :) [23:27] I know that but in the filesystem where is the folder [23:27] rick_astley, trutype all the way bro === dYna is now known as basti [23:27] rick_astley, whateve'rs default [23:27] hmm [23:28] imachine: it's an exact size replica of an F16 stick and throttle [23:28] rick_astley, if I need my dose of oldskool, I got a nokia phone with ssh on it. [23:28] it serves me right with tiny crap fonts. [23:28] thats pretty kickass Brandano how much did it cost [23:28] but the original is molded in resin, while the cougar is cast out of metal [23:28] or I can always press ^+f1 [23:28] ;] [23:28] Brandano, okay [23:28] when I bought it about 200 euro's [23:28] Brandano, resin being lighter ? [23:28] lol that nokia with the whole keyboard? [23:28] that folds out [23:28] rick_astley, nah, e66 [23:29] slider phone. [23:29] awwwh [23:29] it's phony [23:29] imachine: lighter, easier to work with... [23:29] Brandano, aright. [23:29] well [23:29] I like two wheels [23:29] ]{53: Nope, as I can do it one by one, but as soon as I want to do all of them - it does not work [23:29] imachine: the cougar is the only replica that is more original than the original :) [23:29] but maybe that will grow into two wings at some time. [23:29] maybe I'll get a 1987 Honda CB450S [23:29] <]{53> johan_: and u tried it in the GUI? [23:29] and restore it. [23:30] really nice bike. [23:30] imachine: there's less things to slam into when flying, but they are bigger and you can slam into them faster [23:30] anyone got a BADSIG signing key today when doing updates? [23:30] ]{53: Yepp, but now it seems to be working, without using the xargs - using another way :) [23:30] Brandano, yeah, big as the earth. [23:30] thanks anyway [23:30] bahadunn: : nope [23:30] <]{53> johan_: please enlighten me. [23:30] Brandano, plus, when driving, you feel the ground below you [23:30] anyone in here help me fix app that runs fine on some ubuntu pc's but wont start on others? I believe it is because app was first developed for KDE and has trouble starting on gnome [23:30] tho that depends on the speeds you take actually [23:30] if you got a massive sports bike [23:30] you feel the ground below you when you fly as well [23:31] the speeds are so that you prolly don't feel much, more like gliding. [23:31] usually with a sense of rejection... [23:31] * ]{53 notices a lot of off topic chat....... [23:31] more people issues with php error logging and ubuntu ? [23:31] ]{53, sure so!

[23:32] !ask | Kmachine [23:32] Kmachine: 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. :-) [23:32] ]{53: yw [23:32] LjL, it works fine on another account on this box. [23:32] When I start GRUB and select the Recovery Mod, I get the message "Error:32" [23:32] dunno why it doesn't work on this one. [23:33] imachine: are you asked for a login password? [23:33] no [23:33] ]{53: or was that sarcasam? :D [23:33] LjL, no, for a password to the key database. [23:33] That's the problem [23:33] <]{53> johan_: no it was not. I am def. not a know it all. ;) [23:33] evning [23:33] imachine: if you have set your Ubuntu *not* to ask a login password, then you *will* be asked the keyring password. [23:33] okay :) [23:33] I tried to burn an ISO image with Brasero, but I got the following errors: http://pastebin.com/m25222cab Any help, please? [23:34] LjL, don't remember; maybe in haste. how can I make it ask for the login pass? [23:34] anyone have atheros 5007 Intrepid Ibex drivers? [23:34] I don't get asked anything [23:34] Hi ! I try to remove the vmware-server-distrib because I have a bug with it. what is the command to remove this ? I have install that with sudo ./vmware-install.pl ..is there any way to uninstall ? [23:34] I've modified the menu.lst [23:35] I modified to have a password for the Recovery mode, and since then I have the error 32 [23:35] KrispyKreme: i don't have that card, but have you looked at the 8.10 release notes? [23:35] yo yo yo [23:35] Kmachine: >>do you still have the original menu.1st in /boot/grub ?? [23:36] no... I haven't made a backuo [23:36] imachine: of course you can. System / Administration / Login window / Security / Enable automatic login [23:36] JmCourir, there's no specific ubuntu way to remove it; your best bet is the vmware site [23:36] LjL, er, that's not what I mean. [23:36] LjL, I want it to ask for a password during login. [23:36] imachine: yes, unselect the checkbox that i just mentioned above, and it will ask it. [23:36] LjL, just, I want pam to use that particular password for authorizing onto wifi later on. [23:36] Ok [23:37] LjL, it's unchecked; I never turned it on :) [23:37] !upgrade [23:37] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [23:37] I tried to burn an ISO image with Brasero, but I got the following errors: http://pastebin.com/m25222cab Any help, please? [23:37] imachine: err... that's exactly the reason why i asked if you *were* asked for a login password to begin with. [23:37] it asks me for the password on login in gdm ofcourse; it just asks me once more for the password to the key database once I log in. [23:37] imachine: anyway... see if "libpam-gnome-keyring" is installed [23:37] LjL, it works on my other account on this box. [23:37] Out of a sudden compiz stops to work, I only got two desktops (instead of the desktop cube) and no effects until I restart. What could have caused this and how can I restart compiz without logging out? [23:37] so it's not system-wide; rather my local users configuration, [23:38] amikrop, I'm no brasero master, or wodim: but line 217 there mentions a segfault. I'm pretty sure that's where things fail for you [23:38] talaor, system,. preferences, looks. [23:38] Thanks! [23:38] talaor: you need to make the desktop 4 desktops wide [23:38] talaor, then set it up so desktop effects are enabled. [23:38] i was trying to update restricted drivers - was searching through the forums, couldn't get video to show up in vlc / now i have a brokencount package manager error - / installed packages have unmet dependencies / tried sudo apt-get clean in terminal, error : unable to lock download directory / also when trying to get package manager : unable to get exclusive lock - oops, what did i do ? and how can i get it fixed [23:38] talaor: you have what is known as a flippy [23:38] nickrud: I may have a problematic CD drive (writer). I use a laptop. [23:38] amikrop, or so I interpret that, segmentation fault 11 is famouse [23:38] it (ubuntu) prolly disabled it for some errorous reason. [23:38] imachine: there's no "looks" option in my preferences menu [23:39] imachine: then i'm not sure, but if you go to Preferences / Passwords and Encryption, does it say "automatically unlocked when user logs in" for "login"? [23:39] talaor, sory, I was translating [23:39] amikrop, try a different burning program: gnomebaker, or nautilus [23:39] <^Cheeky> cany anyone please help me with connecting to my virtual box, when iam in ubuntu 8.04. i tried connecting to it through places connect to server windows share but gives me an error about not able to mount windows share, can anyone help me ?

[23:43] wjdenny: you're missing a font [23:43] how can i stop the scrolling with the mouse, i mean, when i go over a channel window with my mouse cursor, its scrolling auto ... nd this sucks.. if someone knows where to go it would be neat. [23:43] xplo: what program? [23:44] Myrtti: im not sure what i would be missing.. i have ttf-indic-fonts and tff-devanagari-fonts installed.. any suggestions? [23:44] nickrud_, i have "Encryption and Keyrings" in Preferences and it's got a "Password Keyrings" tab, where the only entry is "login - Automatically unlocked when user logs in" [23:44] LjL, it's exact the same on the other user. [23:44] ActionParsnip a textfile or mirc [23:44] anything with text more then one page [23:44] wjdenny: if those fonts aren't used by the author of the flash, then they wouldn't show. [23:45] ActionParsnip, its something like auto scroll [23:45] let me log out ehh [23:45] ActionParsnip, nevermind i found it [23:45] LjL, ok, on mine I have two tabs, Encryption and PGP Passphrases, with the only option 'None. Prompt for a passphrase' on the Encryption tab. [23:45] xplo: id ask in ##windows, its a windows app [23:45] <]{53> xplo: I think he meant what chat client... [23:45] Myrtti: i see.. so just install everything i can find and hope i get one right then. [23:46] LjL, intrepid of course [23:46] wjdenny: that would be an option, but in general, the problem is with Adobe/the flash author [23:46] nickrud_: well then it's clearly been changed since hardy [23:46] xplo: why dont you use one of the million irc clients that run native to linux rather than nagware mirc?

My problem is that sometimes when i open a website, firefox gets so slow and something looks eating my processor! I dunno if that problem from my Graphics card. What do suggest guys?

[23:51] ron2: in bash, "echo $SHELL" works, not sure if it's very universal though [23:51] mrwes: that's completely unwarranted. [23:51] Yes, even with guest additions installed. [23:51] yeah env. vars aren't always gauranteed standard [23:51] I need something fairly standard [23:51] maybe if I give it more RAM/GRAM [23:51] what's the default gconf-editor value for an ipod mount? [23:52] ok, neither is any other linux program i suppose. [23:52] Hi, There is one Conf file I just want to Get All uncomment lines from that file? can i? [23:52] <]{53> test_: you need a 3d card to run compiz. the vm cards are not 3d.

[23:53] test_: try asking in #gentoo ... :) [23:53] LjL, in there, edit/preferences [23:53] <]{53> test_: next step is install it on a reall hd so you can force yourself to 'get used to it'. [23:53] test_ try ubuntu, its one of the best, ubuntu or SuSE, i started out with SuSE and moved to ubuntu, ubuntu is much faster and more stable [23:53] Not saying ubuntu because this is #ubuntu either. [23:53] LjL, removed the key base named 'login' [23:54] my 8.10 install has been stuck on "scanning the mirror" for about 30 minutes :( [23:54] LjL, it got recreated on next login. [23:54] LjL, now all works fine :) [23:54] but those come with gnome/kde, whereas most of unix stuff is done via command line/terminal [23:54] <]{53> test_: everyone uses ubuntu. ;) [23:54] * Brandano bets the #gentoo people won't say gentoo [23:54] node357: try again? [23:54] test_: to learn unix, i'd say gentoo [23:54] LjL, I could file a bug. [23:54] what's the default gconf-editor value for an ipod mount? [23:54] * ]{53 slaps ActionParsnip [23:54] I remember trying to get X working in slack like 10 years ago...now that was fun! [23:54] Hi, There is one Conf file there is alot commented/uncommented lines on it. I just want to Get All uncommented lines from that file? can i? [23:54] ActionParsnip: it's also really good to learn how to properly rip your hair out, though [23:54] ]{53: what, its a good distro [23:54] I've used everything under the sun at some point practically [23:54] has anybody understood my problem??? [23:54] I tried gentoo in vm too [23:55] LjL, do you know tho what in the system got changed through that gui app? So that I'd know what to file a bug agains? [23:55] Brandano: teaches you a lot [23:55] even things made by sun! [23:55] <]{53> I agree to REALLY learn you need to start with Linux From Scratch. LOL [23:55] on the plus side, it's the most optimized among the "high feature" distros [23:55] gotta compile a couple of kernels to really get into it [23:55] <]{53> Or Gentoo. [23:55] heh [23:55] ]{53: start from stage3 and you have half the battle completed [23:55] http://funroll-loops.info/ [23:55] my 8.10 install has been stuck on "scanning the mirror" for about 30 minutes :( [23:55] to learn UNIX, I'd recommend Digital UNIX [23:55] I haven't used gentoo though, so I can't comment on that [23:55] or NetBSD. [23:55] w00t [23:55] gentoo is too new [23:55] ;) [23:55] imachine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:56] hehe try a unix pdp-11 :) [23:56] <]{53> gentoo is the new slackware. [23:56] gentoo is just something i haven't used [23:56] ]{53, lol I should hang you for that [23:56] some guy in australia still has one [23:56] they say AIX is the most powerful for enterprise, ubuntu for desktop and suse for business, what do you guys think? [23:56] tho I admit, I went slackware -> fbsd -> gento [23:56] node357: i'd restart the install and unplug the network from your system [23:56] <]{53> imachine: LOL! [23:56] suse is okay too actually, i guess [23:56] I'm trying to use my ipod with songbird, and I get error message 'Cannot Mount Volume : The volume uses the / file system which is not supported by your system.'
