[00:00] see the movie "A Wednesday" ... in the movie muslim terrorist plan a wednesday terrorist attack on Mumbai targeting a bunch of civillian locations at once [00:00] CaBa-> dexconf to get it started [00:00] can anyone help me out, when I boot into 64bit Ubuntu on my 64bit computer, the first thing the screen flashes at me is some error about something in my bio not being correct, and that it's going to cost me 64mb of RAM? Any ideas? [00:00] ericjung Not letting me download the file.. its wanting me to login.. for some odd reason [00:00] n8tuser: I'll try that [00:00] ok thanks again zsquareplusc, having some issues mounting my external USB hdd :/ but it's kinda not on Ubuntu so ill ask in #Freebsd hehehe :) [00:00] ericjung_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/77901/ [00:00] dmesg outputs irq probe failed for hdb,hdc and hdd [00:00] wookienz-> oh well, you must do what you need to do [00:01] sysrpl: Please stay on topic [00:01] hi [00:02] @n8tuser: I got a config file with no applicable configurations for my screen, video card, etc [00:02] Is there a need to defrag in ubuntu 8.04? Also, can you or should you use ubuntu 8.04 to defrag an NTSF partion? [00:02] Same as before [00:02] tensei: no, and no. [00:03] demon_, i use jwm all the time. :P [00:03] i need to connect to and url when someone login or logout from the system passing the username to that url [00:03] You see, it's giving me a "no usable configurations" error on startup and won't use any mode other than 640x480 at 8 bit color [00:03] any idea? [00:03] i have a dumb question [00:03] help! what is the best linux distribution, I need to know [00:03] Flannel: does the ext3 file structure eliminate the need to defrag? [00:03] what is JWM dr_willis [00:03] Cabay_Jet-> what do you mean same as before? [00:03] tensei: Yeah [00:03] woody86, other then dont worry about it.. no. :) its due to how the hardware/bios maps the ram i recall.. I think i lose a few mb here also. [00:03] Flannel: thanks [00:03] draco1234: That question would be better asked in ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic [00:03] demon_, a very very small window maanger. [00:03] Cabay_Jet-> is this a new install? [00:03] !info jwm | demon_ [00:03] jwm (source: jwm): Very small lightweight pure X11 window manager with tray and menus. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.1-1.1 (intrepid), package size 93 kB, installed size 284 kB [00:04] n8tuser: Sorry, long story [00:04] MementoMori: spying on your users? ;-) PAM might be able to add callbacks [00:04] --the dumb question being... how can I know my 8.10 installation is secure? [00:04] I'm trying to install Xubuntu 8.10 on a PowerMac 9500 [00:04] 10x dr_willis [00:04] # [00:04] I've gotten the installation past the fact that it's an oldworld mac and that it's using outdated hardware, but now the display isn't working correctly. [00:04] Cabay_Jet-> dont know know how macs work [00:05] zsquareplusc: no, only logging to a webapp. I tried libpam-http but it doesn't pass any parameter [00:05] n8tuser: :( [00:05] yeroplan-> what is your worries? [00:05] dr_willis, thanks :) Do you know how to prevent my 64 installation from going into read-only mode on restart? or why my wireless network disconnects after 2 or 3 mins? [00:05] zsquareplusc: do you know pam-http? [00:05] MementoMori: no i dont [00:06] zsquareplusc: any other module you would use? [00:06] woody86, read only - is often done if theres some filesystem issue. I would boot a live cd and fsck the filesystems. [00:06] woody86, no idea on wireless. [00:06] Xylia2: Still here? [00:06] ok, filed a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303300 [00:06] oops, wrong window [00:07] dr_willis, thanks :) will do, but it doesn't do it if I install 32bit on the same machine? [00:07] Jordan_U: Yes, I'm here. Did I miss something? [00:07] Xylia2: Download these two files to a usb drive: http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2 [00:07] !gspa [00:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about gspa [00:07] Hi again guys, I've got a quick question wrt new notebook w/ 9600M GT 1680x1050 LCD res, nvidia 177 restricted driver which is only reporting the native LCD resolution to apps (well games). The xorg.conf is virtually empty. Is there a better way to add extra resolutions other than manually specifying all of the modelines and modes then adding them to the xorg.conf file? (new notebook, so I'm somewhat clueless asto the best meth [00:07] od and searching forums + net is not helping out much beyond doing the adding modes manually) [00:07] hi all [00:07] Jordan_U: I managed to set up ethernet. Would it be easier to download them to the hard drive of the computer in question? [00:07] woody86, wireless drivers are often a work in progress... it depends on the exact chipset i imagine. i woudl check the forums for any one else with the same chiset/problems [00:08] Oh, well... talk to y'all later. Time to go peel the potatoes. [00:08] dr_willis, well, I meant the read-only only happens in 64 bit, and not in 32 bit [00:08] Oh oops, its 32b Ubuntu 8.10 [00:08] Xylia2: Yes, if you have an ethernet connection then just install fwcutter and it will offer to download those files for you ( and extract the firmware from them ) [00:08] woody86, it pays to be clear :) that makes no sence however.. I would still fsck the filesytem to be ure they are ok. [00:09] i'm in trouble making a network bridge between a wifi and ethernet card, the wifi card is conneted to a wep protected wlan but the bridge don't accept wifi security settings. What can i do? [00:11] !libv4l === rayo is now known as Guest88909 [00:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about libv4l [00:11] running hardy as client with vmware server. having probs playing udf dvd. I have installed all required software and codecs. The dvd will mount but will not play. i have tried mplayer and vlc. I also tried hanging the fstype in /etc/fstab from "udf,iso9660" to "auto", Any one have any suggestions please? [00:11] anyway.. trying to sniff pam-http using ws. maybe it's passing parameters in I way I dont consider [00:11] dr_willis, sorry about that. When I install 64 bit on my computer, when it restarts, it restarts into read-only mode. When I remove 64 bit Ubuntu, and install 32 bit Ubuntu on the same computer, it restarts fine. [00:11] I will still run the fsck though [00:12] exodus_ms: you might need the dvd codecs from mediabuntu [00:12] * MementoMori is smoking while it wait for aptitude to finish [00:12] (nvidia driver itself is also ONLY listing the native 1680x1050 as the only selectable resolution... buggy driver maybe too?) [00:12] Izinucs, tried sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [00:12] wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update [00:12] (er in the nvidia control panel app that is...) [00:13] (ddcprobe reports all resolutions to 1280x1024 then stops, tries EDID and fails) [00:13] none forme? [00:13] Xylia2: Did installing b43-fwcutter work? [00:13] anyway to make the pidgin background transparent? [00:13] Jordan_U: Okay, I downloaded both of them, and yes, I downloaded b43-fwcutter a few minutes ago, but I don't see how to use it with these. [00:14] Xylia2: If you are connected to the internet then all you have to do is install b43-fwcutter, during the install process it will do everything for you [00:15] Izinucs, any ideas? [00:15] Jordan_U: Okay, what is it supposed to be doing? [00:15] i'm in trouble making a network bridge between a wifi and ethernet card, the wifi card is conneted to a wep protected wlan but the bridge don't accept wifi security settings. What can i do? [00:15] hey guys, i'm really deperate now, been working on this for 2 days, and i've really tried everything -- an ubuntu iso will not boot on my inspiron 8200, i've confirmed the disk is burned, i know the cd rom is working, boot order is set properly...the computer just will not boot it [00:15] any ideas? [00:15] exodus_ms: no sorry.. and I've run vmware a lot.. have you tried #vmware? or virtualbox as an alternative? [00:15] evolve_: have you tried an alternate install CD? [00:16] evolve_ , try to burn your iso with the slower speeds that should work.. [00:16] Hello all - Anyone know why all of the drop down menus in kde apps are blank? [00:16] Cabay_Jet: yes -- that can not be read either [00:16] Sync08: i burned it at several speed, including 1x nothing works [00:16] Try what sync 08 said [00:16] Xylia2: It is downloading the windows driver and extracting just the firmware ( the code that runs on the card, not the actual driver ) so that the firmware can be loaded onto the card, the reason it needs to do this is that boradcom won't allow Ubuntu to distribute their firmware directly [00:16] (which took me forever btw) [00:17] !usb | evolve_ maybe an alternative? [00:17] evolve_ maybe an alternative?: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:17] Izinucs, no I can't say I have. I have been told that virtualbox is very good. But to be honest I believe this problem is with the udf fs and being able to read the disk with ubuntu [00:17] tried from USB stick, bios does not support it [00:18] Jordan_U: Okay, makes sense. How do I confirm it did this? I downloaded both of the files you linked after downloading b43-fwcutter, but it didn't do anything that I can see. [00:18] evolve_, well does bios sees the cdrom/dvdrom device? If yes you are burning your cd wrong [00:18] evolve_, how do you burn your iso ? [00:18] AFK for a minute, in case anyone's looking [00:18] Izinucs, thanks [00:18] Sync08: burning the iso with infrarecorder -- cd's all have booted on another machine =x [00:18] evolve_: do you have an operating system on it now? wubi variant maybe? [00:19] zsquareplusc: no OS on it =x [00:19] Xylia2: Did you actually install b43-fwcutter? "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" in a terminal or with synaptic if you prefer a GUI [00:19] well, corrupt version of windows from a failed install actually [00:19] evolve_, then check your data cable of dvd/cdrom device. === Guest88909 is now known as _rayo [00:20] where is the folder that have the scripts for starting thins automatically? [00:20] Sync08: windows install works, however it freezes half way through due to a scratch in the CD...always freezes at same spot -- thus cd-rom works =x [00:20] check this guys: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=996355 [00:20] how can i install libv4l [00:21] !libv4l [00:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about libv4l [00:21] evolve_, sometimes bad datacables does do that.. not only scratched cds :) I can recommend you to change your datacable of dvd/cdrom device then check the BIOS for booting options. Set your dvd/cdrom device as first then it should work.. (Usually it does) [00:21] ? [00:22] I do get Disk error! 0x0C from smart boot manager whenever I attempt any linux cd...could it be possible my bios is too updated and dell has blocked linux from being able to be installed? [00:22] Jordan_U: I tried it in the terminal, and got two errors (Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 resource temporarily unavailable) and Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/, is another process using it?). The problem might be that I'm trying to download all the system updates now in the hope they'll help in some way. However, when I just type b43-fwcutter, I get a description and list of commands, so I thin [00:22] evolve_: this might help, http://www.wikihow.com/Burn-a-CD-in-Ubuntu-Linux [00:22] demon_: aptitude install libv4l-0 [00:22] which packages hold the man pages for sys commands and header files etc? [00:22] I'm having trouble installing SuperUbuntu on my Windows deal. [00:22] MementoMori, E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock [00:23] Sync08: issue is its a laptop -- so if that is the case the laptop is done with more or less [00:23] evolve_, No updated bios has nothing to do with that. [00:23] demon_: close the other package manager you have opened [00:23] or use sudo [00:23] why does it kick me into a shell? [00:24] evolve_, well you can try external cdrom if you have one? or if your bios supports you can try USB booting? :) [00:24] has anyone released a commercial distro of ubuntu that I can put on my customers machines that has legal dvd playback for the US? lindvd is a joke and difficult to get in english.... [00:24] k sudo works just fine :P [00:24] sorry [00:24] i'm in trouble making a network bridge between a wifi and ethernet card, the wifi card is conneted to a wep protected wlan but the bridge don't accept wifi security settings. What can i do? [00:24] savageone, try a linux commercial release like Xandros or Suse Enterprise [00:24] is there a faq? I'd look it up first, but. You guys seem busy. [00:24] savageone, lol problaby no one will do that :) [00:24] savageone: http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=243&osCsid=330640b75302cdc1cc6e23803086637d [00:25] savageone: Ubuntu + buy that for them [00:25] rhorse: I'm a big ubuntu/debian fan so suse is out ;). Xandros is sort of iffy because where are they going w/ this whole linspire thing since they bought them? sort of waiting tos ee how that pans out [00:25] flannel: thanks! === KDE4001 is now known as KDE4000 [00:25] savageone: also, I assume you're aware of the OEM version of Ubuntu, which makes your job easier? [00:26] is it possible to do a web install through a floppy? [00:26] MementoMori, do i need restart or smt after installing ?? [00:26] savageone: did you try this http://lifehacker.com/350015/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-in-two-commands [00:26] flannel: I am aware of it but haven't gotten it, don't know anything about it, can you link me? [00:26] I believe the smallest network install distros are about 40 MB [00:26] trying to play dvd after installing restricted software and codecs. the dvd will mount "icon on desktop" I can browse the folder but vlc and mplayer cannot read the disk. I tried mount /dev/scd0 and got 'according to mtab, /dev/scd0 is already mounted on /media/cdrom0' [00:26] evolve_: network install, yes. but the files you need do not fit on a floppy [00:26] flannel: also, for $41 us, the link you sent me is a little much and it ONLY fixes the dvd situation not the mp3 etc [00:26] evolve_: a network install would be best based off a USB drive [00:27] I'm aware of this link regarding the "2 commands" but it's not legal in the us [00:27] savageone: http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=19&osCsid=a8e9e6925d88de32f0b5328472aed29c [00:27] exodus_ms, if you see the files in /media/cdrom0 I belive both mplayer and vlc have a 'play directory' item that will play the files from there. [00:27] savageone: Theres other stuff for media (Fluendo stuff), complete might also include DVD, I'm not sure. [00:27] savageone: who says [00:27] exodus_ms, try dvdrip [00:27] demon_: no. just run what you want [00:27] thiebaude: the US government. dvd playback using the dvdcss stuff is illegal [00:28] you may want to run depmod [00:28] i think I said the name wrong ;) [00:28] dr_willis, I have tried to point vlc to the files to play just got an input/output error [00:28] Is there a command to list the filesystem type of all attached disks? [00:28] exodus_ms, Hmm.. Im out of ideas then. [00:28] but it seems to be, atleast for me impossible to do a USB drive install since the BIOS does not allow it, i've read articles that it is possible through GRUB, however everything seems very over my head [00:28] savageone: libdvdcss [00:28] savageone: Anyway, OEM version is available on the alternate CD (Maybe the desktop CD now) as an installation option. It gives you a temporary user which you (as an OEM guy) uses to set up stuff (install packages, configure desktops, etc) however you'd like for your customers, and then when you're done, you run 'oem-config-prepare' and shut down. Next time the computer boots, it asks (the end user) for a username, password, language, etc. [00:28] libdvdread3 [00:28] sFEARs: a new one? [00:28] sFEARs, I also tried to rip the disk to my hdd as an iso so I could try to play from there. dvd:rip could not read the disk as well [00:29] ScislaC: there is fdisk -l, but the partitiontype is not actualy telling you what filesystem is realy on there [00:29] CINTA [00:29] ScislaC, mount [00:29] flannel: so is this a separate disc I'm downloading or is it an option on the one I've been using? for 8.10? [00:29] exodus_ms, that sounds like a dirty disk/dirty drive.. [00:29] APKABAR DAH MAKAN PALOM [00:29] Xylia2: If the updates are still downloading you can just cancel and re start the updates later ( what you have downloaded will still be there ), if you have already install b43-fwcutter but you weren't connected to the internet when you did run "sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh" [00:29] exodus_ms, make sure you have libdvdread3 installed [00:29] it is very easy to enable dvd playback [00:30] NAMA KAMU SIAPA SIIH === ffffff2 is now known as wiestrassland [00:30] HJGSBSDAYV JGSAYU FUAFHFJ AQ [00:30] savageone: It used to be an option on the alternate CD (which is a regular installer, with options), but I think I've seen it on the desktop CD (that's the live CD you likely downloaded) as well. So, hit f4 or f5 or whatever at the boot menu and see if there's an option for an OEM install [00:30] dr_willis, I have tried several disk including audio 'which will play' and other dvd's which will play. I think I;m having trouble with the udf discs [00:30] MementoMori, how can i configurate the libv4l?

[00:31] i run it myself and I LOVE it [00:31] exodus_ms, have you tried a different dvd? [00:31] MementoMori, i want to plug in the cam, [00:31] Jordan_U: I did that and it seems to have worked (much stuff was apparently saved and extracted) [00:31] dr_willis, I also tried changing the fstype in /etc/fstab from "udf,iso9660" to "auto", Any one have any suggestions please? [00:32] MementoMori, cuz with this new 8.10 doesnt work something :P [00:32] savageone, I got started with Linux via Xandros. It's a neat lil distro. [00:32] exodus_ms, how were these udf disks made? [00:32] rhose: cool. abit pricey tho [00:32] see I'm doing this for home users not so much business [00:32] problem w/ my business clients is they ALL run quickbooks [00:32] damn quickbooks [00:33] savageone, well 40. for a OS is expensive by Ubuntu standards, but cheap by all else, no? [00:33] dr_willis, commercial dvd's [00:33] i go sleep, goodnight 4 all [00:33] Hey guys i am trying to install on a external hard drive how ever the system will not format the disk past 33% can i get some help with this issue please [00:33] have your cam ever worked? [00:33] sFEARs, I have tried several disk. All will mount but none can be read from any media player [00:33] 40 us? it's more then that [00:33] isn't it? [00:34] exodus_ms, Thats.. weird then.. try just 'dd' ing the disk to a file and see if that works? [00:34] savageone, ok, this goes back several years. Gess it is more now. Well -- someone's got to pay those licensing fees. [00:34] what error do you get exodus_ms [00:34] dr_willis, I apologize what exactly is 'dd' ing? [00:35] alright. Any of you thousand people have problems loading Ubuntu for the first time and getting sent straight to a shell? [00:35] demon_: have you problem running skype? [00:35] sudo dd if=/dev/dvd of=/home/user/Desktop/filename.iso [00:35] savageone, me, I like the portability and config'y of Fluxbox/Mint. 8 ) [00:35] exodus_ms, the 'dd' command .. dd BS=1024 if=/dev/cdrom of=videodisk.iso [00:35] haha [00:35] lost in the flood.

[00:35] it's $100 us [00:35] that's criminal [00:35] exodus_ms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(unix) [00:35] exodus_ms, the BS option makes it copy faster. :) [00:35] what's fluxbox? [00:35] i have a package that failed to install, and now everytime i run apt-get it finishes with an error saying that one packeage didnt install right. how do i remove this? [00:35] can some one help me i am running ubuntu 8.04 [00:35] savageone, yet another window manager [00:35] !fluxbox [00:35] fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox [00:36] MementoMori, well no on amsn [00:36] I like gnome hehe [00:36] Howdy :) [00:36] navilon, apt-get install --fix-missing [00:36] sFEARs: i prefer cat /dev/dvd > x.iso ;-) i dont think that you need sudo for that [00:36] savageone: i use fluxbox its great [00:36] sFEARs, with mplayer i get an 'could not read from source' [00:36] why would someone use fluxbox? [00:36] d;) [00:36] demon_: your cam was ok with older ubuntu releases? [00:36] yes MementoMori [00:36] ericjung_, this is linux.. why do they need a reason. :) use what you like..

It's the bomb. [00:37] ericjung_, im installing linux on a low end machine.. its gettting openbox [00:37] demon_: wait a min [00:37] has anyone any experiece in getting a wireless card to connect before login on 8.10? [00:37] MementoMori, thank you very a lot :) [00:37] Is there a way to get from .mkv to .avi? :X [00:37] !find avid [00:37] Found: avida-base, avida-qt-viewer, avida-viewer, sword-comm-tdavid, avidemux (and 3 others) [00:37] dr_willis: openbox is a good one too [00:37] dr_willis: i have ubuntu on a low-end machine too. should i consider openbox or fluxbox? [00:37] synaptic has a ton of wm's [00:37] DistroJockey: thanks for the info... worked like a charm!

[00:38] evolve_, No. [00:38] is it suggested? [00:38] evolve_: no, i did it with a full live cd yesterday [00:38] <_rayo> fapman have you tried dban? [00:38] dban?

[00:44] Hi again guys, I've got a quick question wrt new notebook w/ 9600M GT 1680x1050 LCD res, nvidia 177 restricted driver which is only reporting the native LCD resolution to apps (well games). The xorg.conf is virtually empty. Is there a better way to add extra resolutions other than manually specifying all of the modelines and modes then adding them to the xorg.conf file? (new notebook, so I'm somewhat clueless asto the best meth [00:44] od and searching forums + net is not helping out much beyond doing the adding modes manually) ddcprobe returns all resolutions through 1280x1024x24, fails querying EDID. This is a fresh ubuntu 8.10 32bit install. Would there be a better channel to equire about this on? (trivia notebook is an MSI MS-1651 or IOW a GX620) [00:44] dr_willis, thats it [00:44] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [00:44] exodus_ms, that is a very very odd disk then... what movie is this?

[00:45] maxbaldwin: yes [00:45] k thanks rww [00:45] Can some one tell me why my disk tells me i have currupt file but works on other pc's is it because i need to burn it at a slower spped?

I MIGHT have that disk here... [00:46] MementoMori, doesnt work a guy said that he just installed the drivers via wine and it worked so i will try that :P [00:46] fapman: possibly, yes. It's also possible that your .iso file is corrupt. You can check that with checksumming. But I'd look into burning it slower first. [00:46] rww: so how should I have installed it? I've tried several different methods I found through google, this was the only one that worked. Sorry, I'm a noob.

[01:02] yes cutterjohn.. i don't think you need the info in xorg like it used to [01:02] Flannel, so the dri and all the other options are supposed to auto-detect now? [01:02] cutterjohn: Yeah [01:03] x-ip: I actually came in because desktop-integration isn't working for me. I can't get the apps on the menu. rww said doing it the way I did was a no-no, basically. [01:03] is there a putty program (telnet/ssh) in linux [01:03] cutterjohn, if the info is in the xorg file it will be used.. but if it's not there it can pull it from other places, i'm just not sure what the other places are [01:03] cutterjohn: default xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/77907/ [01:03] Sierradump: yes, it's call "ssh" [01:03] Flannel, the screen resolutions too or is that GPU driver dependent? [01:03] Sierradump: called* [01:03] cutterjohn: I'm not sure [01:03] thanks! [01:03] cutterjohn: (from my newly installed intrepid; first time I'd opened xorg.conf...)

[01:05] rww: yep, thats about what I have, but with the nVidia changes, device and driver [01:06] exodus_ms, try playing title 13 if you can. :) thats the main movie.. according to k9copy.. [01:06] Flannel, rww, sFEARs: well, thanks for the info. I think that I'm going to try the other slightly older nvidia driver int he repos, 173(1?) and see if it's a 177 bug maybe [01:06] exodus_ms, oope.. title 16 i mean [01:07] exodus_ms, k9copy is working here also. [01:08] dr_willis, tried 16_0 and 16_1 with vlc nothing playing :( [01:08] exodus_ms, check 'dmeg' for any error messages perhaps? [01:08] dr_willis, again I apologize...

I'd like to make some batch overlay-stuff [01:13] dr_willis ok tks [01:13] I have an Accer as well with Kubuntu and can't get the wireless going either [01:13] Acer [01:13] If I allow an application access to my keyring always, how can I revoke that permanent permission? [01:14] is there a simple regexp to match money? [01:15] rww, aptoncd only shows the packages in my archive directory. If they were there, I would copy them myself :-/ [01:15] jordan_, proberly is.. i recall there being several 'regular expression' examples web pages a few months ago when i needed some for specific tasks [01:15] Hey, how can I download a package (with dependencies) for one I already have installed? [01:16] \grep '[0-9]\{3\}-[0-9]\{4\}' members.txt [01:16] Flannel, rww, sFEARs: actually before doing anything drastic I decided to er *cough* read the X log, and yes I can see that the input methods are from hald now, all the optional modules were selected to load, other options formerly manually specified auto-load, but resolution was from nvidia-auto-selector with a line about no other validated modes available, so it looks like manual specifying for me again first before new driver ( [01:16] either of which will be horrendous, but playing with modelines and modes FAR easier to me at least) [01:16] whoops [01:16] x-ip: I can run openoffice in the shell with no problem. just trying to get it on the applications menu. [01:16] ou [01:17] PsiKlopx: u tryed gconf ? [01:17] really i'm not good fixing that kind of problems :S [01:17] sorry, I'm a noob [01:17] What are the best video cards for Ubuntu .. From what I've read, ATI are the worst !?! Any get a x1650 to work perfectly? [01:17] how do i enable filesystems [01:17] how does one get MP3 ripping in Intrepid with Sound Juicer or Banshee? gstreamer0.8-lame is no longer in the repositories. [01:18] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: could you reword please? [01:18] (nVidia drivers seem to be slipping slightly off the throne from my view ATM, but can't compare to an ATI directly) [01:18] to match money what do you thing? \$(\d{1,3},?)+\.\d{2} [01:18] JBrown: Intel has the best open source drivers right now [01:19] by miles [01:19] at all lvles ChamPro ? [01:19] Where do the gtk themes live? [01:19] JBrown: you do NOT want OSS drivers for ATI or nVidia, the OSS one both SUCK ALOT... to put it mildly [01:19] ChamPro: and yet they are broken on my laptop [01:19] i know that video chipsets works well .. .thats my question ChamPro [01:19] I need to delete a GTK theme that won't delete from the GUI [01:19] dr_willis, I got to go. Thanks for all your help! [01:19] RAdams: ~/.themes [01:20] cutterjohn: I'm using the open source DRI drivers for my ATI since they're no longer supported by fglrx. They work well [01:20] i want files organized like [01:20] JBrown: well they're ok for 2d [01:20] fast [01:20] cutterjohn: JBrown: NV, the open nvidia driver is fine, so long as you don't need 3d acceleration [01:20] ls [01:20] hello [01:20] !hello | art [01:20] art: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:20] mneptok: thanks [01:20] thanks [01:20] Radams: see above, but its kind of pointless to have a recent ATI/nVidia w/o 3D... [01:20] ChamPro: Intel drivers suck, they are broken in Intrepid for GM965... really low performance [01:21] i am using ubuntu8.10 [01:21] cutterjohn: depends on what you use the machine for, and which values are more important to you. but you and I think alike; I need my 3d acceleration :) [01:21] RAdams: may as well get something much cheaper if you only need 2D [01:21] If I allow an application access to my keyring always, how can I revoke that permanent permission? [01:21] guys, how do i list all user accs in ubuntu? [01:21] Mal3ko, cat /etc/passwd [01:21] RAdams: me too, which is why I stay FAR away from the OSS ATI/nidia drivers [01:21] Mal3ko: what do u mean ? [01:21] acces in which service ? [01:22] hey guys [01:22] SuperGeek: encryption and keyrings under system/preferences [01:22] he means accounts, and SuperGeek is right [01:22] RAdams, I can revoke those permissions from there? [01:23] <--- running along for ill-fated manual resolution mode configuration... at least I don't have to bootstrap gcc then compile X11... [01:23] SuperGeek: yes, iirc. if you don't see it there try system --> admin --> authorizations [01:23] I was just wonder, what IRC clients do you guys use? [01:23] **wondering? [01:23] Thanks RAdams [01:23] np [01:23] !poll | sethosayher [01:23] sethosayher: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:24] sethosayher: if you'd like a list of irc clients available, search "irc client" in synaptic [01:24] Every now and then when I apply an update to Ubuntu, my wacom tablet stops working. Does anyone have any idea why? [01:24] hocmin: probably the xorg.conf changing [01:24] hocmin: compare an xorg.conf before and after it stops working -- back up xorg.conf before an update [01:25] cutterjohn: I'm using the ATI version and I'm surprised they'd release suck a crappy driver.. ?!?! [01:25] JBrown: ati has been releasing garbage linux drivers for ages [01:26] RAdams: ATI has been releasing garbage drivers for ages, period [01:26] hello all:) i have problems with booting ubuntu8.10 (messed up with packages while trying to get normal way of working apps with QT library use after update 8.04-8.10) where can i read info on boot diagnostics? [01:26] linxeh: no arguements [01:26] what's the hot key to navigate panels with the keyboard? [01:26] :) [01:26] SunnyDrake: dmesg [01:26] RAdams: hm...doesn't appear as if the authorizations are listed there [01:26] linxeh: that situation has changed [01:26] ChamPro: With the DRI drivers, are thing running perfectly? [01:26] i know but dmesg is empty :) [01:26] SuperGeek: really? i've done it before, let me go look [01:26] I have two sound cards on the laptop - the one is on motherboard and the other is external usb sound card ... the hardware for one on the motherboard is broken ... so Iwant USB sound card to be default on my ubuntu system .. I can set it with USB OSS option but not with pulseaudio ... any clues? [01:26] RAdams: checked that. Definitely no change. I can follow the original instructions to install it, I can get it back: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765915 [01:26] SunnyDrake: /etc/logs/dmesg.0 [01:27] SunnyDrake: /var, not /etc [01:27] and boot will leave me with (none) login: promtw with no passwords or users recognized [01:27] brain broken today [01:27] it's empty :) [01:27] ei.e nothing new :) [01:27] SuperGeek, try Applications - Accessories - Passwords and Encryption Keys [01:27] SunnyDrake: sounds like all of your configuration files are gone [01:27] empty, as in nothing there at all? [01:28] Is there a way to size screens in X by using the keyboard? [01:28] i deleted old and booted again.. and no messages or dmesg file not created :( [01:28] @JBrown: Depends on the window manager. [01:28] SunnyDrake: yeah that's it, where the stored passwords are, what kitche said [01:28] Which one are you using? [01:28] how can I download a package (with dependencies) for one I already have installed? [01:28] cris: Which one do you think is the best? [01:29] I haven’t used X proper in years, sorry. I used to like fvwm. [01:29] DistroJockey, hm...don't see anything about Keyring permissions there [01:29] mm where file passwords located.. i will search for a while [01:29] can anyone help me get the proper screen resolution (1600x1050)? [01:29] SunnyDrake: post the output of ls /var/logs | grep -i dmesg to pastebin please, unless it returns nothing, in which case just say so [01:30] SunnyDrake: /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow but if you get (none) for a hostname unless you didn't give your machine one then your system is seriously broke [01:30] SuperGeek, ohh well. Worth a look. Good luck [01:30] Thanks, heh [01:30] good day friendly ubuntu users.. [01:31] openoffice 3.0 is out ... how can we update to it? [01:31] ok guys i've finally make some progress, i've gotten ubuntu to atleast begin to boot on my machine using a USB key and kboot_usb then it stalls and says "mount: mounting /dev/sda2 on /mnt/tmp/ failed: No such device or address [01:31] any ideas? [01:31] zetheroo1, best to wait for it to get in backports I hear. [01:31] JBrown: the DRI drivers are slower for 3D than fglrx, but suspend and hibernate actually work (so that's nice) [01:31] dr_willis: is it there yet? [01:31] hi. my other computer won't connect to the internet (fresh ubuntu install). help? [01:31] Does someone here have a tip as to where Ubuntu development source are kept? I founf a bug in java-openjdk that seems to have been fixed so I'd like to see the source.. [01:32] Acer [01:32] ChamPro: Do you have any issues watching .avi's ? Or dual monitors? [01:32] zetheroo1, No idea.. I am not to worried about it. :P i suggest you do NOT use unoffical repositories fro it.. theres been dozens of people with big issues with OO3 affecting the whole OS by doing that [01:32] mutk: you can grab the source with apt-get source packagename [01:32] mutk: apt-get source package [01:32] ubuntu__> wifi, ethernet, etc? [01:32] Unfortunately I am not using Ubuntu :/ [01:32] mutk: for the current version: apt-get source package should work [01:32] hey... when does openoffice 3 come to intrepid? [01:33] All I need is a http link if at all possible. [01:33] eye_pee: ethernet. i rebooted into gentoo live and it had the same problem [01:33] mutk: well that's a bug you should fix ;-) [01:33] * dr_willis wonders if the bot has a OO3 link yet... [01:33] dr_willis: ok... I'll take your reasoning as such .... thanks [01:33] dr_willis: PPA will be fixed sometime next week. [01:33] any idea? [01:33] ubuntu__> dmesg | grep eth [01:33] stefanie: It won't ever be in intrepid. It'll be in backports sometime soon though. [01:34] Flannel, and hopefully it will work. :) - from the horror stories ive heard the last few weeks.. I will stick with the older OOo for now [01:34] mutk: browse packages.ubuntu.com [01:34] did that, everything looked fine :: eye_pee [01:34] Flannel what does backports mean? [01:34] JBrown: no issues watching movies of any kind and multi-monitor support is great. So if you really care most about 2d and laptop features, then the OSS drivers for ATI work better than the official fglrx === zenwryly` is now known as zenwryly [01:34] dr_willis: in Intrepid its 2.4 right? at least that is what it is for me ... [01:34] !backports | stefanie [01:34] stefanie: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [01:34] is it safe if i install ooo 3? [01:34] if you do it correctly, sure. [01:34] dr_willis: than again I use OpenOffice very little ... [01:35] Banshee and Sound Juicer question for Intrepid Ibex: how do you get MP3 encoding? [01:35] i am concerned about ubuntu updates [01:35] ubuntu__> what is fine? have you looked at ifconfig? [01:35] RAdams: kitche: ls /mnt/hda2/var/log | grep -i dmesg none... no /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow (i not touched this for sure) [01:35] Would anyone be willing to help me with a installation question? [01:35] ChamPro: gstreamer-plugins-ugly [01:35] !ask | Lobes06 [01:35] I need help mounting and image I made with dd. The image is of a folder not a full hard drive [01:35] Lobes06: 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. :-) [01:36] dcrews: you mean a partition.. mount -o loop is your friend [01:36] zsquareplusc, Thanks ;) [01:36] dr_willis: I actually use IBM Lotus Symphony more than OpenOffice ... I really like how that program works ... [01:36] Where can I go to get help with the Ubuntu wiki? [01:36] eye_pee: one sec, i'll will have to plug the eth cable in to check it. bb in less than a min [01:36] SunnyDrake: you have lost your configuration files. unless you have backups, you're going to need to reinstall [01:36] ChamPro: Outstanding !! You made my night :) Thanks [01:36] zetheroo1, i wouldent worry about it then. :) [01:36] ubuntu__> :-p ok. hopefully that's not the prob. [01:36] Got ya! OK, I have a laptop with Windows XP and Xubuntu...what I want to do is simply replace Xubuntu with Ubuntu 8.10. Can I just run the Ubuntu installation and install over top (its on ext3) or do I need to format and/or repartition? I don't want to screw things up so that I cant get into Windows anymore. [01:36] RAdams: gstreamer-plugins-ugly and gstreamer-plugins-ugly-multiverse are already installed [01:37] zsquareplusc, when I used mount -o loop it said to specify a disk system (eg ext3) and I have not been able to find anything telling me how [01:37] dcrews: hm. what does file yourimagefile report? [01:37] JBrown: it really depends on what ATI card you have... the older cards function much better on the OSS drivers. I have a ATI Mobility 9600 Pro (M10) [01:37] I had to reinstall my Legacy NVIDIA Driver (100.14.19-pkg1) after the Kernel update. Is that normal? [01:37] Lobes06, just Install the ubuntu-desktop package.. and it will install the ubuntu desktop. :) you can then pick what one to use at the LOGIn screen [01:37] champro: and you still can't play/encode to mp3? what messages do you get from trying to play an mp3 file in banshee? [01:37] RAdams: kitche: in kernel sounds like some mount problem as some read-only warrning i saw.. sound like mount problem... but how i lost them? i only installed a few kernel modules from official reprosry and couple ubuntu-desktop pacages? [01:37] zsquareplusc, how do I get the report [01:38] Lobes06> you should be able to do that without any prob. make sure to select advanced (or whatever ubuntu calls it) when installing onto your media. you need to use the existing filesystem and swap partitions. [01:38] dcrews: just run that in a terminal. "file" identifies whats in a file [01:38] SunnyDrake: can you boot in recovery mode? [01:38] Fezzler, how did you install them the first time? [01:38] dr_willis and eye_pee, thank you...I'm just worried that Grub will get hosed and keep me out of booting all-together. [01:38] dr_willis: Install what, the driver? [01:38] alright eye_pee, you still here? [01:38] dr_willis: Or the kernel update? [01:38] Lobes06, installing ubuntu-desktop wont affect the system at all... [01:38] Fezzler, the drivers [01:38] RAdams: /root and /home look like ok yes but still (none)login: problem and read-only fs// [01:39] Lobes06> grub is your friend. he's smart enough to handle it. [01:39] dr_willis: I have to install them via command line [01:39] dr_willis: no, but that will keep Xubuntu on the other partition. [01:39] eye_pee: okay, back. [01:39] zsquareplusc, home.img.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Thu Nov 27 08:56:37 2008, max compression [01:39] ubuntu__> does ifconfig show a proper eth0 entry? [01:39] Lobes06, Huh? You can have xubuntu and ubuntu both isntalled 'together' on the same setup. they are just different desktops mainly the core is identical. [01:40] SunnyDrake: if the configuration files under /etc are gone, you're looking at a reinstall. [01:40] dcrews: oh, so you need to unpack it before loop mounting -> gunzip [01:40] dr_willis: Something about my older AMD CPU that only the old NVIDIA driver works with my GeForce FX5500 APG [01:40] guys .. im controlling my ubuntu box via vnc .. its slow as heck .. any ideas or any apps that can help me out speed this up [01:40] dr_willis: Without it, Compiz and some other stuff that is graphic intensive don't work [01:40] <[TiZ]> After having difficulties with video playback in compiz, I have decided to abandon the fglrx driver. But now, using radeon, compiz is seriously super slow! What's going on/ [01:40] hi. does anybody know how to configure the nvidia-settings to not use the adaptive clocking and just have my gfx card operating at full clock all the time? [01:40] btw after update 8.04 LTS - intrepid current programs which use Qt library ( krusader etc) will just eat memory .. i traced with kgdb to Qt library.. [01:40] macjason0607: use vncserver instead of sharing the current desktop [01:40] dr_willis: With it, they fly! [01:41] Fezzler, if you used envyng, or the .run package from nvidia.com you WILL have to reinstall thenm every time theres a kernelupdate.. if you used the hardware-drivers tool.. it should automatically do the needed updates [01:41] zsquareplusc, how much better ? [01:41] macjason0607> how fast is your internet connection? [01:41] RAdams: hmmm I think I got it... I had already installed the required LAME libraries, but the references used in Banshee must be in gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse [01:41] eye_pee, don't kkjnow the upload speed .. my download speed is fast [01:41] dr_willis: How do I use the hardware-drivers tool? [01:41] know* [01:41] RAdams: thnx, hate i'm almost useless in linux :( [01:41] ChamPro: ah. good to know :) [01:41] can someone tell me how to unmount an ipod that doesn't want to amount through a GUI interface? The device is mounted to /media/iPod [01:41] hi [01:41] macjason0607: it does not need to read back the screen and guess whats changed. try it, its free ;-) [01:42] eye_pee: it shows eth0. but after doing "sudo dhclient eth0" and dmesg grep eth, i'm seeing: eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x7849 advertising O5el Link 0000...also... [01:42] StevenX: sudo umount /media/iPod [01:42] what's better, ubuntu + KDE or Kubuntu? [01:42] Fezzler, thats the default tool in the menus and top panel when you first connect.. that [01:42] dr_willis: Also, this always kills the resolution of my Login Screen. Anyone know the file I have to edit by hand to fix login resolution. Pretty common. [01:42] StevenX: sudo umount -f /media/iPod if necessary [01:42] Fezzler, the command line name for it is 'jockey-SOMTHING' [01:42] !best | Brack10 [01:42] Brack10: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:43] zsquareplusc, from apt-get or go find a vnc server ? [01:43] RAdams: tried that already. says it's not mounted, but the damn thing says not to unplug. [01:43] dr_willis: You mean Tracker? [01:43] StevenX: have you tried restarting? [01:43] Brack10: Kubuntu shipped with many pacages oriented to KDE users so it's out of box solution [01:44] macjason0607: you can apt get it. there is vncserver vnc4server and tightvncserver that all do about the same (sligh differences in features) [01:44] RAdams: gonna do that. thanks. [01:44] Fezzler, No.. theres a tool/menu item called Hardware-drivers, or restricted-drivers or somthing similer.. [01:44] thanks [01:44] can i exchange "gnome-wm" to "compiz" in sessions? (for faster logins) [01:44] StevenX, maybe it's mounted somewhere else. Check by typing mount in a terminal [01:44] SunnyDrake, thanks [01:44] macjason0607: if you're using vnc across the internet, consider tunneling it with ssh to get encryption [01:44] Fezzler, or open a terminal and type jockey and see [01:44] dr_willis: I don't have it. [01:44] zsquareplusc, I hate to sound dumb, but can you let me know what the command is to unpack qz compression [01:44] eye_pee: eth0 link down ..... ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready....... eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 ...........ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0 link becomes ready ..... eth0: no IPV6 routers present [01:45] djungelkraem: yes, but I don't recommend it, as that leaves you with no fallback, and it isn't particularly designed to run without gnome-wm present [01:45] dcrews: gunzip home.img.gz [01:45] dr_willis: Not found / jockey [01:45] Brack10> thnx goes to other ppl working here :)\ [01:45] hey i am trying to install ubuntu right now on my labtop but i cannot install it because the second it leads i get this White screen of death!

Tell the new kernel not to mess with my NVIDIA driver that is installed? [01:46] anyone know how to fix this and install ubuntu [01:46] zsquareplusc, Thanks it will take some time because it is 60gigs or so [01:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6271796#post6271796 [01:46] Brack10: Kubuntu *is* Ubuntu+KDE [01:46] Can someone explain to me how the keyring system in Ubuntu works? [01:46] Fezzler, its the tool that handles installing those drivers... Somting is VERTY odd if you dont have it... [01:46] dcrews: oh.. do you have enough harddisk space? [01:46] eye_pee: not seeing one [01:46] Is ddr3 supported? [01:46] mneptok: not so. installing ubuntu and then kubuntu-desktop would give you gnome and the associated packages and programs as well; kubuntu installer does not [01:47] guys sorry for the noob questions .. i just installed vnc server and i don't see it in my applications list [01:47] hello, anybody know a lightweight gui frontend for setting up folders as samba shares? [01:47] any ideas ? [01:47] Sierradump: yes [01:47] mneptok: Kubuntu is (in my opinion ) ubuntu + kde +kdeapps somewhat tested solution aimed at KDE desktop users :) [01:47] zsquareplusc, I think it will be close 160 gig hard drive and the zip file is 60 gigs and there is nothing else on the drive [01:47] dr_willis: Don't have it [01:47] macjason0607, you start it from the command line. its not a gui-tool with an icon === Eber_ is now known as Eber [01:47] dr_willis: Using Hardey [01:47] Fezzler, so what OS/release are you running exactly? [01:47] ok .. thanks dr_willis [01:47] just shows an inet6 addr: ....but it also said no ipv6 routers present [01:47] macjason0607, it will not be in the list. [01:47] it = dmesg [01:47] eye_pee: ^ [01:47] zsquareplusc, so there is no way to amount the compressed image?

[01:48] RAdams, well right know i have 20 - 25 sec login in intrepid [01:48] i know .. i have to disable remote desktop now and see if vncserver works [01:48] dcrews: there are compressed loop image formats. but i dont know of one directly using gzip. and compressed images are usually not writable [01:49] dr_willis: I struggled with NVIDIA for a year before someone he knew my older AMD cpu only worked with legacy driver [01:49] Fezzler, I imagine the nvidia docs state what chipsets need the legacy driver. ;) [01:49] I wan't to install ubuntu with lxde, clean.... what's the best option; install ubuntu server or xubuntu perhaps? anyone? :) [01:49] Fezzler, System->Administration->Hardware Drivers is where that guide says the tool is at [01:49] oh hey, my computer hangs when check out the network during boot up, when I am not plugged into the ethernet, any ideas? [01:49] macjason0607: vncserver runs its own screen in parallel. connect to yourmachine:1 or whatver screen number it reports when starting [01:49] djungelkraem: sounds like something else is happening there. have ou looked through dmesg? [01:49] RAdams, i dont know what that is [01:50] !dmesg | djungelkraem [01:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about dmesg [01:50] dr_willis: Yea, don't have that either [01:50] Where can I go to get help with the Ubuntu wiki? [01:50] bitmouse: ntp clock sync maybe that times out and uses longer [01:50] I wan't to install ubuntu with lxde, clean.... what's the best option; install ubuntu server or xubuntu perhaps? anyone? :) [01:50] dr_willis: I have System>Admin>Hardware Testing [01:50] Fezzler, and you did install ubuntu? [01:50] zsquareplusc, When I built this image with dd of the corrupt home drive I followed some form posting. [01:50] zsquareplusc: how would I go about shortening that? [01:50] RAdams, ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dmesg [01:50] dr_willis: Yup, from LiveCD [01:50] of course you don't.... djungelkraem, it's where bootup and certain runtime events are recorded. You can read it with the command dmesg. The files are stored in /var/logs/dmesg* [01:50] Hi [01:51] heh, well eye_pee left, anyone willing to help me with my internet connection issue? [01:51] anyone know why the GEM command wont grab packages from the internet [01:51] Hi, I want to make an alternate CD to install a system set up like the one I have [01:51] Hi. I've a problem. I'm running Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine Vbox, but my maxim resolution is 800x600 and I need 1280x800. How make this? [01:51] !clone | alex_21 [01:51] alex_21: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [01:51] Fezzler, no idea then.. could track down the package and reinstall it [01:51] I know reconstructor handles live CDs, but I need a text based installer [01:51] !find jockey-gtk [01:51] Found: jockey-gtk [01:51] RAdams, how am i supposed to know what all that means in that file? [01:51] How do I check if it works drivers for video card [01:51] ? [01:51] !info jockey-gtk [01:51] jockey-gtk (source: jockey): GNOME user interface and desktop integration for driver management. In component main, is optional. Version 0.5~beta3-0ubuntu6 (intrepid), package size 9 kB, installed size 136 kB [01:51] MIzuiko: Install the Vbox addons into the guest system. [01:51] dcrews: its good to save space. and you can backup and unpack the file directly to a partition with gzip. just mounting the image itself is not so easy [01:51] well, that went over like a lead balloon, back to the switch drivers idea... [01:51] djungelkraem: post it to pastebin [01:51] alex_21: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization [01:52] dr_willis: Not sure I need it [01:52] Byrnison I alrready install but don't resolv [01:52] dr_willis: It says all it does is give a front end for installing restricted drivers. My issue is new kernels mess up my legacy NVIDIA driver [01:53] RAdams, http://pastebin.com/d1cc67785 [01:53] zsquareplusc, while I'm waiting for it to unzip I have a quick question about data recover. The home drive one day just up and stopped showing up. I can go in with test disk and look at the home folder and subfolders so I used dd to make an image in hopes of mounting the image and then pulling the saveable data from the image, is there another way to get the data from the home drive? [01:53] dr_willis: But you have helped me a number of times so I know you know your stuff [01:54] Fezzler, and IF you isntall the drivers with that tool.. they shoudl NOT mess things up.. if you isntall them via the 'apt-get install nvidia-XXXXX' they should also get updated as needed.. if you use envyng, or the .run from nvidia.com they will NOT get updated. [01:54] try photorec if it works barely [01:54] dcrews: if all else fails try putting the drive into a USB enclosure then backing up with dd or other sw as the USB enclosures generally don't do all the error checking that regular controllers do [01:54] A friend gave me an ipod full of music. I've never owned an ipod but Ubuntu sees it as an audio device. Is there a way to copy the music on it to my Ubuntu box? [01:54] bitmouse: it was just an idea. i'd check what the reason really is. you could remove "splash" and "quiet" from the boot options to see the messages. (type "e" in the GRUB menu) or alternatively check the output of "dmesg" for large gaps in the timestamps [01:54] Byrnison [01:55] is there a program so i can use my computer with voice commands :) [01:55] only show 800x600 [01:55] guys is there a terminal command to bring up my display settings ? i had to lower them because i was sharing my desktop and now i can't see the option for system > dispay settings [01:55] screen resolution* [01:55] djungelkraem 18 sec for first look it's ok/// [01:55] !recover > dcrews [01:55] dcrews, please see my private message [01:55] cutterjohn, Thanks for the recommendation, the problem is I'm doing this from a few thousand miles away. This computer is at my parents house and they know next to nothing about linux [01:55] dr_willis: Cool. So you think I should install Jockey and reinstall the driver for future "protection"? [01:55] djungelkraem: look at lines 595-598. are you using hibernate, by any chance? [01:55] SunnyDrake, it feels like an eternity [01:55] dcrews: if you were able to use dd and it did not complain about hard disks error its a good sign [01:55] Dillizar, try following this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOU8GIRUd_g [01:56] dcrews: maybe you can fix it with fsck. [01:56] dr_willis: sudo apt-get jockey-gtk install I suppose? [01:56] RAdams, hibernate? no the computer goes up from being totally turned down [01:56] turned off* [01:56] Fezzler, yep [01:56] dcrews: ah... no ideas, but you might want to keep it in mind and maybe find a friend to do it or them... if all else fails [01:56] dr_willis: U da man [01:56] can anyone help me get the proper screen resolution (1600x1050)? [01:57] zsquareplusc, I know there are bad sectors when I used test disk so when I ran dd I put in some command to replace errors with zeros [01:57] thanks draco1234 i will :) [01:57] djungelkraem: is the startup time delay you're experiencing occurring after login or before? [01:57] help me please [01:57] Can you upgrade from Fedora to Ubuntu? [01:57] wtf draco1234 ??? [01:58] RAdams, during login [01:58] I'm running Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine Vbox, but my maxim resolution is 800x600 and I need 1280x800. How make this? [01:58] (bah, thats the 2nd time Ive seen people with, appoarnetly, LCDs at non-native resolutions when all I want is to get some of those running myself... maybe trading problems is the solution :D) [01:58] cxo: no. [01:58] cxo: not directly. you have to do a new install. but you may be able to keep your /home [01:58] RAdams, i type my loginname and password - from there it takes 20 sec till i can use my computer - its loading everything in [01:58] cxo: they're completely different distribution, you'll need to install from scratch. [01:58] preference/resolution settings [01:58] dr_willis: Jockey ago - found the restricted driver for my wireless card but not NVIDIA [01:58] hey, i installed prism in firefox and it works for every website but pandora, any reason for that? [01:58] zsquareplusc, I got your private message, I have spent time at the ubuntu data recover sight, I'm looking at the other sight now [01:58] djungelkraem: what's your processor/RAM/video card? Has it always been that slow for you? [01:59] LjL, annoying [01:59] dr_willis: I don't see how jockey helps install drivers, just seems to report them [01:59] Dillizar, I heard it might be possible to get dragon natuarlly speaking to work [01:59] Is there a single command that installs all restriced drivers, and most multiverse programs (sun java, flash)? [01:59] zsquareplusc, so how does that work? Does it keep all my settings? [01:59] dr_willis: I may need to reboot [01:59] lol draco1234 [01:59] cutterjohn, Good thinking, maybe I can talk my brother into doing it when he stops by the house [01:59] is there a program so i can use my computer with voice commands :) [01:59] Is there a single command that installs all restriced drivers, and most multiverse programs (sun java, flash)? [01:59] :( [01:59] RAdams, C2D 1.83Ghz, 2GB RAM, X1950Pro - no i dont think so [02:00] Dillizar: gnome-voice-control [02:00] is it possible i need to format my hard drive before i can install off a USB drive? i'm getting a mounting error [02:00] Could anybody recommend a Light Weight GUI app for setuping up Samba Shares? [02:00] dcrews: don't do it unless everything else fails as if its mechanical damage it'll make it worse/kill the drive [02:00] cxo: most applications you run have their settings in /home and are likely to work so, yes. system settings are in /etc but i wouldn't use that directly (backup for reference only) [02:00] jnw222: ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:00] ok [02:01] so sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [02:01] hey, i installed prism in firefox and it works for every website but pandora, any reason for that? [02:01] Dillizar, hehe sorry. if RAdams suggestion doesn't work, look into "voxforge" http://www.voxforge.org/ [02:01] jnw222, yep [02:01] djungelkraem, RAdams: looks like a lot of software to bootup :) he have C2D 1.86 approx 1gb memory / ati fglx driver [02:01] cdt1@yahoo.com [02:01] evolve_: no, if you run the live cd/installer from an usb stick it should as well ask you what you want to do with your harddrive [02:01] where's my xorg.conf, in etc/? [02:01] Fezzler: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:01] Fezzler: /etc/x11/xorg.conf [02:02] cutterjohn, I'm pretty sure it is a mechanical issue. Good thing is that there is nothing that important in the home partition. I set this up as a fail safe for when the windoz computers get to many viruses [02:02] SunnyDrake: djungelkraem: I have lower specs on this laptop and it boots much faster. Let me think for a minute djungelkraem, I'm trying to remember where a specific log is [02:02] any ideas ? [02:02] i want to force my screen to go to 1024x768 via the terminal [02:03] RAdams, ok :) im thinking of reinstalling ubuntu to see if it would make any difference :P [02:03] RAdams: XORg + KDE/gnome log? [02:03] macjason0607: xrandr is your friend [02:03] macjason0607: xrandr is the program you want to use [02:03] Hello fellow linux users [02:03] hi id like to know more about ubuntu studio... im on the site right now... [02:03] HMM. sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf comes up blank? [02:03] jaypur: #ubuntu-studio [02:03] lol .. terminal won't run because my reslution is so small [02:03] RAdams, thx [02:03] Fezzler: capital X in X11 [02:03] Fezzler: the X in X11 should be capitalized [02:03] draco1234, it works just fine thank you [02:03] I was wondering of anyone has some experience with setting up ubuntu server [02:04] Hello, after installing Ubuntu 8.10, I noticed a slight problem, It would constantly tell me my password was incorrect when changing networking settings, among other things. [02:04] bingo [02:04] L1NUX_14SIDE: I do. [02:04] What controls applications' access to the gnome keyring service? [02:04] wonderful [02:04] zsquareplusc, once this image is unzipped should I be able to mount it with the simple "mount -o loop /home.img /mnt [02:04] dcrews: yes [02:04] Dillizar, ah, glad I could help =) [02:04] L1NUX_14SIDE: /join #ubuntu-server [02:04] djungelkraem: try making a new user and logging in as that user [02:05] RAdams, ok 2 sec [02:05] SunnyDrake: no. :) [02:05] right.. [02:05] dcrews: unless its a disk image including a partition table, then you'd need some offset magic. but guessing from the filename its just a single partition [02:05] zsquareplusc, cutterjohn Thanks to both of you for your help, I'm going to come back in a bit, this operation is going to take a while [02:05] Is there a fron end for what is described at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization [02:05] [02:06] anyone know why i'm getting "mounting /dev/sda2 on /mnt/tmp/ failed: no such device or address? [02:06] ? [02:06] zsquareplusc, yes I had the home on its own partition [02:06] evolve_: do you run a command that produces this output? [02:06] RAdams, brb then - ill log into my other account to see if its any difference [02:06] evolve_: or within the installer? [02:07] well, i'm installing using kboot off of a usb stic [02:07] stick* [02:07] does anyone here uses GIMP?!? [02:07] evolve_: kboot? [02:07] and it gives me that when i go to boot [02:07] http://kboot.sourceforge.net/ [02:07] !ask | Eber [02:07] Eber: 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. :-) [02:07] zsquareplusc, I found a great post that talks about offsets just in case, thanks again [02:07] Yes, voice is listed under Google type Linux accessibility [02:08] zsquareplusc: it runs off of grub -- its the first thing which has found my USB stick [02:08] guys, I need help here... I'm comming from Photoshop and trying GIMP... I'm trying to delete some images areas but instead of it getting transparent, it gets white! how do I do to get it transparent?!? [02:08] Eber: #gimp [02:08] Eber: you have to add an alpha channel so that it has a layer of transparency [02:08] Eber: #gimp, but you have to set the background transparent [02:08] RAdams: i'm already there... noone answers me... [02:09] fonzarelli: uhmmm, tks! :) i'll try that out! [02:09] Eber: Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel [02:09] RAdams, about the same time - maybe 12-15 sec instead [02:09] fonzarelli: TKS :) [02:09] zsquareplusc: any ideas? [02:09] evolve_: and the usb stick how did you prepare that one? unetbootin, ubuntus make usb disk or manually? [02:09] hello, i need held. how can i send fax? [02:10] Dragon won't work, It is Windows based. Rather, it would be very hard [02:10] hi i am setting up lamp for development. how can i change the permission of /var/www ? [02:10] Eber: hmm no probles here check if you have default white background layer :) [02:10] evolve_, sounds like somewhere (/etc/fstab ?) has a UUID set for /dev/sda2 but the UUID is wrong [02:10] dsdeiz: chown/chmod. but why would you want to do that? [02:10] Yes, there is a voice command program for Linux [02:11] fonzarelli: it worked :) tks man! [02:11] 1.0.18a seems to have introduced a headphone jack bug for my Intel Hda card in my dell studio laptop, any temp fix for this? [02:11] zsquareplusc: i used unetbootin [02:11] Eber: welcome :) [02:11] uhm, because it doesn't allow me to create files in /var/www/ [02:11] Eber: also there is a settings for "not filled areae" look like in gimp settings [02:11] SunnyDrake: fonzarelli 's tip worked for me :) Tks anyway ;) [02:11] DistroJockey: can i change the uuid? [02:11] do somone know it? [02:11] evolve_: hm. that should make it correct. if you had done it manually i had asked you you also copied the hidden files [02:11] anyone experienced that? [02:11] (headphone jack does not work at all) [02:11] also found that on foums [02:11] evolve_, in /etc/fstab , yes [02:12] would this command work? sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www [02:12] dsdeiz: the www folder belongs to www-data and that's good so [02:12] evolve_, or replace it with /etc/sda2 instead of the UUID [02:12] djungelkraem: can you post the output of cat /etc/network/interfaces to pastebin? [02:12] ok. i'll go try the command [02:12] so like mount /dev/sda2 /etc/fstab [02:12] thanks [02:12] dsdeiz: several options: a) put yourself in the www-data group b) make a folder/link as root that it yours [02:12] evolve_, unfortunately UUID's change when you change the partition table [02:13] evolve_, no! [02:13] RAdams, http://pastebin.com/d5cafcd7c [02:13] DistroJockey: oh =x [02:13] how do i put myself in www-data group? kinda new here. sorry [02:13] has no one an idear? [02:13] dsdeiz: adduser user group [02:13] good thing i didn't type that then =] [02:13] please [02:13] Hi, can I have a front end program do what is described at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization [02:13] [02:13] dsdeiz: need to re login to apply that though [02:13] evolve_, you need to find which file the boot loader uses that might have a UUID set that is invalid [02:14] how can i send and receifed fax? === pretto_ is now known as Pretto [02:14] cxo: still, carrying over your settings from /home might not be the best of ideas, because things in your GNOME desktop (if you use GNOME) will work according to your Fedora configuration... which is a good thing because you will have your stuff as you left it, but also a bad thing because any configuration that's specific to Ubuntu will not be available, and the versions of programs can be different - so you might get weird results. [02:14] evolve_, probably would have failed, but it didn't look good ;) [02:14] dsdeiz: like zsquareplusc says, but with "sudo" in front [02:14] DistroJockey: issue is, kboot is very minimal command wise... [02:14] is it like this? sudo useradd -G www-data myusername? [02:14] i'm not really sure how i'd go about that [02:15] evolve_, I may be totally wrong in my guess that it is UUID related (and I know nothing about kboot) [02:15] evolve_: network boot :-) then you only need to load kernel+initrd and no mounting afterwards [02:15] evolve_: network install rather. network boot is something different [02:16] zsquareplusc: i don't know what nic i have =x [02:16] evolve_, to me it sounds like it's trying to mount some swap space it is finding in /dev/sda2 [02:16] evolve_, but as I said, just a guess [02:17] dsdeiz: no, to use that style of command it's "usermod" not "useradd" [02:17] evolve_: you do not need to know it as long as its supported :-) do you have easy network access, like DHCP and a router? [02:17] yes i do [02:18] dsdeiz: useradd will add new user with specified group(s), usermod will modify an existing user [02:18] anyone happen to know why upon loading into gnome(8.10 ibex) that the mouse cursor stays busy for so long. It seems to be related to the window manager since if you disable it upon startup the desktop loads instantly and it not busy. Ive tried replacing metacity with xfwm4 but it still remains busy. Anyone know any info on this? [02:18] zsquareplusc: i don't have a working cd rom drive in the computer which is half the issue [02:18] evolve_: the kernel+initrn here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ run the text (alternate) installer and grabs the rest from the net [02:19] kraro, ! [02:19] zsquareplusc: i suppose i could try booting that from the USB [02:19] kraro, don't run your IRC client as root! [02:19] maxbaldwin: yo? [02:19] would anyone be able to tell me the proper way to use iptables to set up a NAT/port forwarding rule, or possibly be able to help me debug mine [02:19] arf [02:19] coming back thx [02:19] evolve_: actually you have to go to the subfolder to find "linux" and "initrd.gz" which you would boot [02:20] RAdams, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/291467 [02:20] hi [02:20] miyako: /join #iptables [02:20] hi [02:20] its my first time in irc [02:20] and my english is not very well [02:20] that's ok [02:20] back :) [02:21] can someone help me? i have a simple question about ubuntu [02:21] !ask | gabrielseber [02:21] gabrielseber: 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. :-) [02:21] gabrielseber, what is your question? [02:21] djungelkraem: does that match your symptoms? [02:21] hello gabrielseber [02:21] hi, [02:21] i have bougth a dell vostro 1310 [02:22] it has 4Gb RAM [02:22] gabrielseber: there are also ubuntu channels in other languages [02:22] RAdams, yes, the background pops up pretty fast but then it takes some time for the gnome panels and things like that to be visible [02:22] gabrielseber: yes, the 64 bit version will support all your ram ;-) [02:22] hmm, i just have to download and install a 64-bit version? [02:23] Can anyone help me get the proper screen resolution (1680x1050)? After installing the video card driver it still doesn't show up in the "screen resolution" options. I'm running the 177.80 nvidea driver [02:23] djungelkraem: have you tried disabling compiz and booting? [02:23] gabrielseber: depends on what you want. i have installed the 64 bit desktop from the live cd. works well for me [02:23] Excuse me, how do i add samba to my runlevels on a minimal ubuntu installation? [02:23] !modelines | woody86_ [02:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about modelines [02:23] of course not [02:23] where are the factoids? that one used to be there [02:23] RAdams, ill do that right now :) [02:24] i installed a 32bit (the one i had at that moment) [02:24] !brain } RAdams [02:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about brain } RAdams [02:24] woody86_: you need to add modelines to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:24] zsquareplusc, can't 32 bit systems access up to 4 gb or ram? [02:24] i'm going to install the 64bit one [02:24] !brain | RAdams [02:24] RAdams: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [02:24] zsquareplusc and DistroJockey: just a thought i had, since this kboot is actually grub, i can enter the grub prompt and use custom commands...would that help me? [02:24] draco1234: up to about 3.5MB only [02:24] maxbaldwin: I know. I'm saying that the factoid !modelines was there before. [02:24] bah gtg... [02:24] RAdams, I tried finding the modelines thing, but the wiki page isn't there [02:25] evolve_: for the error you had or for the netinstall? [02:25] the error i had [02:25] evolve_: dunno [02:25] RAdams, oh, I thought you wanted to check for that one. Sorry! [02:25] How do I install Adobe Air on Ubuntu 8.10? (is there an easy way to do it) [02:25] how can i enter in the ubuntu channel in portuguese? [02:25] k [02:25] !pt [02:25] Por favor use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [02:25] valeu! [02:25] Hi, I've installed ueagle for my usb modem. I tried "gksudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/ueagle-atm" and it says "could not write gedit state file..." anyone could help me about that? [02:27] Does Ubuntu come with SELinux? [02:27] becker`, does that file exist? [02:28] !selinux | SuperGeek: no [02:28] SuperGeek: no: SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [02:28] draco1234, yes I saw it in /etc but I can't get access to configure the file though I tried gksudo [02:28] ah [02:28] rww: is apparmor what protects the GNOME keyring? [02:28] becker`: what if you try "gksudo nautilus", and then navigate to the file? [02:28] SuperGeek: no [02:29] mneptok: what protects the GNOME keyring/ [02:29] ? [02:29] draco1234, how could I do that? I'm very new to linux so I was just following the guide for ueagle and what it says :) [02:29] SuperGeek: Gnome protects the gnome keyring [02:29] kitche: how do i modify the permissions that certain GNOME apps have to access the keyring? [02:30] I am a new guy too. [02:30] please, has someone an idear how can i send a fax? [02:30] can i somehow make the compiz fusion icon start at login through sessions or something like that? [02:31] becker`: oh. Sorry, I'm not sure about the details of any guide of ueagle... [02:31] Benutzername: with a hardware fax modem. [02:31] Ratz. I can't get my Login Screen Resolution fixed.

[02:52] draco1234, and then what it's on ready and thats all [02:52] Hi, I have an intel wireless 3945 that appears in ifconfig -a but not in ifconfig and therefore is unusable by network manager. What should I be looking for? [02:52] Is someone familiar with running TeamSpeak servers under Ubuntu Server Edition? [02:52] does cron only send emails when there was any output in stderr or also stdout? [02:53] scunizi, ok,what do I have to play with in the settings? [02:53] Dillizar, then just speak into the microphone... I'm trying it right now.... if i yell "firefox firefox firefox", it opens up a text editor! ahahah! [02:53] wereHamster, cron will email if there is any output. [02:54] joeb3_: where does it store the mails? /var/spool/mail/$USERNAME ? [02:54] Where should a complete UBUNTU novice go to learn more about his new Ubuntu server? [02:54] Dillizar, wow, watch out, running that voice control really overheats my processor [02:54] draco1234, it shoes just listening its not opening any thing :D [02:55] wereHamster, /var/mail/$username. Just type mail. Or install mutt to read it. [02:55] is there like a list of some of the apps that don't work on 64-bit? [02:55] Dillizar: i think that's just because it isn't very accurate. If you yell enough things at it, sooner or later it does do something [02:55] joeb3_: hm, my cron doensn't want to send my any emails [02:55] CaymanHerb: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/index.html [02:56] I can't my joypad to work, the d-pad or sticks aren't recognized in the game but the buttons work fine [02:56] wereHamster, you would need sendmail or postfix running to deliver the mail [02:56] *they do show up in jscal [02:56] draco1234: I guess that's an improvement on the classic "kick it enough times and it'll start working again" troubleshooting step... [02:57] Dillizar, for example, I just yelled "file file file run run file file", and then IRC said, "are you sure you want to quit?" .... so it does do something..... just not what I want [02:57] draco1234, are you crewing with me :D cuz i am screaming my ass :D [02:57] why does ubuntu have no documentation for mkisofs? [02:57] draco1234: try "Open the pod bay doors please" [02:57] joeb3_: even if I want cron to send the email to a different server? eg. MAILTO="me@server.tld"? [02:57] Dillizar, is your mic volume turned up? I'm not yelling really loud [02:57] [02:57] Is someone familiar with running TeamSpeak servers under Ubuntu Server Edition? [02:57] wereHamster, yes [02:57] My CD mounts with only root privileges. how can I fix that? fstab is /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 [02:58] rww: "Open the pod bay doors please" makes this message pop up: "Evolution setup wizard" [02:58] draco1234, wow it opened a firefox :D === patxbot is now known as PATX [02:58] myr, add uid=yourusername to the options line [02:59] Dillizar: did you say "firefox" to do it, or something else entirely? [02:59] draco1234, or you kust need to say COMPUTER first like in star trek :P [02:59] joeb3_, like: /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8,uid=myr ?? [02:59] myr, yes [02:59] joeb3_, thank you! that worked [03:00] I thought the UID had to be a ### not a username [03:00] joeb3_: ge, I don't want to install a full mail server only so one application can send mails [03:00] dr_willis, it can be either [03:00] is there really no other way? [03:01] can anyone recommend a gui ftp client? [03:01] wereHamster, I don't know of anyother way. [03:01] wereHamster: the only other way I could think you could do it is if you could use a script to control an email client program like evolution - but not sure if that's even possible. [03:01] PsiKlopx, gftp [03:01] PsiKlopx: filezilla [03:01] filezilla is the best imo [03:01] how can I remove an old kernel? I have three and I only want two. I will delete the oldest kernel. [03:01] PsiKlopx: I've used filezilla on Windows, and it's pretty good. If the Linux version is as good as the Windows one, I recommend it :) [03:02] i've used filezilla in windows...didn't think to check if there was a linux version [03:02] PsiKlopx: you don't need one [03:02] filezilla is acceptable on linux if you're still bothering to use ftp [03:02] PsiKlopx: package filezilla in universe repository [03:02] droopsta915: you could edit your grub.conf file - think there's a way to do it with a gui app as well. [03:02] PsiKlopx: don't install that just yet [03:02] PsiKlopx: Places > Connect to server [03:02] isn't there like a standalone commandline smtp client for sending emails? I mean, thunderbird also doesn't come with a full mail server and it still can send emails [03:02] hey i wanted 2 install drupal completely with the other packages such as MySQL etc..will anyone please help me out [03:02] mneptok: tried that... [03:02] wereHamster: not without SMTP it can't [03:02] droopsta915: just be careful - you don't want to bork the grub config file (if indeed you are using grub, which is the default for ubuntu) [03:03] mneptok: at what point and where would I put log in info. [03:03] alright, so what do you recommend? sendmail or postfix? [03:03] wereHamster, postfix [03:03] droopsta915: use synaptic to remove older kernels, it's the only safe method. [03:03] #ubuntu-cn [03:03] PsiKlopx: after you click "Connect" [03:03] postfix it is then, thanks :) [03:03] hey i wanted 2 install drupal completely with the other packages such as MySQL etc..will anyone please help me out [03:04] postfix is easier for sure [03:04] mneptok: hmmmm, for some reason it didn't get that far then...got a connection refused error. [03:04] hey i wanted 2 install drupal completely with the other packages such as MySQL etc..will anyone please help me out [03:04] DarkKnight, define help? [03:04] thanks, this chat has been of great help for the past 6months. UBUNTU for life! [03:04] DarkKnight: sudo apt-get install drupal5 [03:05] mneptok: I'm too stupid to live...picked the wrong server type. thanx! [03:05] Dillizar, One command that always works is "minimize the window" [03:05] DarkKnight: depends on what you want to install. Do you need to install apache, mysql, php and drupal? [03:05] PsiKlopx: np np [03:05] DarkKnight: if that doesn't automatically install mysql, also do sudo apt-get install mysql-server [03:05] mikere; I have no idea about other things...i just wanted 2 construct a website and I was told to use drupal === LieS is now known as RobiD [03:06] rww; okk....is MySQL the best [03:06] for your purposes. [03:06] any suggestion for a good video/movie album app? [03:06] DarkKnight: its not a matter of what is best; it is what your software requires. unfortunately that is usually mysql [03:06] DarkKnight: if you are constructing a web site on your own server, then you will need apache (or another web server) and php (probably php5) [03:07] mikere; okk....so its drupal, php5 and Apache2..i suppose [03:07] that i have 2 install [03:07] DarkKnight: the drupal5 package requries mysql-client and recommends mysql-server. It also requires all the php and apache stuff... so just install drupal5 and the other stuff will get pulled in automagically. [03:07] what's the commandline to reconfigure a package? [03:07] DarkKnight: so as I said above, sudo apt-get install drupal5 [03:08] wereHamster: sudo dpkg-reconfigure [03:08] quagga: could go with postgres [03:08] CrypticSwarm: ah, i didn't know drupal would take that. everything always seemed to insist on mysql [03:09] i ended up finding a solution that didn't require a database to avoid it [03:09] DarkKnight: just start with what rww said - then if it doesn't get everything, install the missing ones and it should be gtg. [03:09] rww; ya i have typed in the command [03:09] mikere; ya i have started the installation [03:09] ohh i don't know sorry, jumped in a little late in the conversation it probably doesn't [03:10] Can anyone help me get the proper screen resolution (1680x1050)? After installing the video card driver it still doesn't show up in the "screen resolution" options. I'm running the 177.80 nvidea driver. [03:10] quagga, just checked drupal does look like it can use postgre [03:10] Where is the grub.conf file, I tryed /boot/grub.conf-no luck [03:10] CrypticSwarm: packages.ubuntu.com says it'll postgre so yeah [03:10] i use dokuwiki so i don't need a database [03:11] is it safe to upgrade to 8.10 yet? [03:11] droopsta915, /boot/grub/menu.lst is the file that should have been suggested [03:11] woody86_: did you check System --> Administration --> Hardware drivers to make sure the driver is enabled? [03:11] yup [03:11] mikere, rww; should I go 4 apache or apache2 === woody86_ is now known as woody86 [03:11] Sergeant_Pony: I've been using 8.10 on all 11 of my computers for weeks and it is great. [03:11] DarkKnight: Not sure - but I'd guess apache2 is better [03:12] woody86_: is 177 or 173 recommended for your card? [03:12] mikere; okk [03:12] mneptok, 177 [03:12] Distrojockey:ah ha! thats the one. I will note that in my documents. thanks for the help [03:12] ardchoille, I only have 1 laptop and 1 server to upgrade [03:12] hi [03:12] droopsta915, make a copy first and just comment out the #title you don't want [03:12] is anybody here [03:12] nope [03:12] hehe [03:12] I need help [03:12] 1315 People are here glusce :) [03:12] DarkKnight: apache2 [03:12] Sergeant_Pony: 8.10 itself is great, I don't know how upgrades do as I always install from livecd [03:12] although I tried the 173, as well, but that one was even worse [03:13] i wont to instal ns 2 [03:13] on ubuntu 5.10 [03:13] gluonman: 5.10 is very old and no longer supported [03:13] ardchoille, I'll have to test on the laptop first then... don't want to fubar my server ;) [03:14] Sergeant_Pony: good idea [03:14] zsquareplusc: i,m having problem to connect to my ssh again ?

[03:26] hello everyone [03:26] Hi [03:26] hi che [03:26] Dillizar, jockey-gtk [03:26] I've screwed up my theme (font, buttons, et cetera)... is there an easy way to fix this, or at least an easy gui to use that can fix all of this I need to apt-get? Theme are apparently not the easiest to install here. I am a new ubuntu user. [03:26] hi jmcourir [03:27] They must have removed the bug report on Launchpad because I *was* subscribed to it but it's gone. [03:27] jmCourir [03:27] I don't see a System -> Preferences -> Theme manager [03:27] Crewsr3: is "file" now able to identify the file? [03:27] newbnewb: System -> Preferences -> Appearence ? [03:27] Crewsr3: use ccd2iso [03:27] the "sudo chmod 666 /dev/boxdrv " did not work [03:27] newbnewb, change to a different theme using System - Preferences - Appearance [03:27] I have paste my source.list at http://paste.ubuntu.com/77924/ please take a look ... [03:27] better yet nothing happened [03:27] I'll try that again. [03:28] question, about VNC server... how can i see GUI when i get the connection ? [03:28] How do Disconnect the last person connected to my server through peNSSH [03:28] df [03:28] sdf [03:28] what are you doing [03:28] Hello guys i took _rayo's advice and i wiped the drive still freezing when i hit 33% of format [03:28] Hrm, I just ran some updates and was told to restart so they could finish. I did, and now my panel is missing. How can I get it back, and figure out what went wrong? [03:28] any other ideas [03:28] zsquareplusc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/77925/ [03:28] tech0007, what do you mean? [03:28] I'm in the menu.lst. I only want two kernels-Should I change the howmany=2, then delete the third kernel? [03:29] dnyy, you can get it back by alt+F2 then enter gnome-panel [03:29] Does not seem to change my fonts back to a regular color (as well as my background underneath text. I can probably get used to this theme. :) [03:29] At least untill another theme manager comes out. [03:29] Crewsr3: use ccd2iso to convert it to iso, then mount it as usual [03:29] tech0007: its a image of a partition [03:29] how do I disconnect the last user conected to my server?? [03:29] I'm very confused about how I set up my ubuntu. I have dual-boot with vista and i have been trying to install WoW. I got the message I needed more disk space, I know I have plenty space. So I reseached a bit and decided to look at my ubuntu partition... only i don't have one, just C: and HP recovery... I'm confused and do not know what to do? [03:30] droopsta915, comment out the title you don't want and the lines grouped with it using # [03:30] Crewsr3: ignore me [03:30] Crewsr3: "file /share/homebkup/home.img" prints? [03:30] probably a silly question but is there an audio equalizer for ubuntu ? [03:30] Lokin, how is the user connected? telnet/ssh? [03:30] mae: did you install ubuntu through windows (using wubi)? [03:31] How can I see the desktop GUI of my server trough vncviewer or browser ? [03:31] hello [03:31] remote connexion [03:31] zsquareplusc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/77926/ [03:31] fapmaster, are you sure it is freezing? Formatting can take quite a while on a large drive [03:31] dewente, yes you can [03:31] I just installed with the live cd.. popped it in and hit the second option which I think was installing inside vista... but i have dual boot [03:31] use vnc [03:31] i am using it [03:31] but just i can see the terminal only [03:32] yeah you have to configure vnc to allow the desktop to be forwarded through vnc [03:32] mae: did you boot to the live CD or did you put it in while in Windows? [03:32] why does ubuntu suck so much. my amiga rox! [03:32] Crewsr3: ok, then add a -t ext3 to the mount line [03:32] glusce: Alright, what version of Ubuntu are you on now? Breezy still? [03:32] give me an example [03:32] dewente, does you server have a GUI installed? [03:32] I put it in while in windows vista [03:32] histo, yes [03:33] 5.10 [03:33] do some google searches on vnc and getting a full desktop [03:33] glusce: you can find out with `lsb_release -a` [03:33] dewente, go on your server and share the desktop [03:33] DistroJockey, Iv let it sit for 5 to 10 mins [03:33] mae: then you're running wubi [03:33] how do i compile in vista support [03:33] histo, ? [03:33] fapmaster, may not be long enough. How big is the drive? [03:33] glusce: alright. Breezy hasn't been supported for a while now. You should upgrade (obviously). Once you upgrade to 6.06, you can upgrade straight to 8.04. [03:33] dewente, Ssytem > Preferences > Remote Desktop. That will start vnc server with default port of 5900 [03:33] DistroJockey, 5 to 10 mins on 33% on a 120 gb external hd [03:33] okay.. I did not know that. but since i on;y have one partition, why does the WoW installer say I do not have enough disk space.. I have 47% empty [03:33] LISTEN TO ME !!!!!!!! LQQK [03:33] mae: You must not have made the linux partition big enough for WoW to be installed on it as well. [03:34] mae: are you trying to install WoW in linux or windows? [03:34] dewente, on the client box just open up Applications > Internet > remote Desktop viewer and connect to your server. [03:34] I have a server running webmin and for some reason I am not a abe to ping it's static ip adress from a client computer [03:34] linux [03:34] I have it installed on windows [03:34] zsquareplusc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/77928/ am I typing it wrong [03:34] <__mikem> topls64, what does it mean to "compile in vista support" [03:34] linus is a homo [03:34] fapmaster, which part does it say it's doing when it stops? [03:34] topls64: Please stop [03:34] mae: because it's not calculating free space on your Windows partition. It's calculating free space on the virtual linux partition-in-a-file you made with wubi, which is probably too small. [03:34] i want to run vista under ubuntu so it runs better [03:34] fapmaster, does your external drive have a read/write indicator light? [03:34] Hey guys I need some help, I just installed ubuntu on Windows and when I load windows from grub, I get this :A disk read error occured. Please restart. Can anyone help?? [03:34] topls64, use virtualbox [03:35] topls64, or vmware [03:35] <__mikem> topls64, okay, go out and download virtualbox [03:35] oh [03:35] histo, do you know any command line for do it ? [03:35] <__mikem> histo, virtual box will work better for his needs [03:35] virtual box, like a pussy in a porno? [03:35] DistroJockey, can we take this into another room to escape the spam and yes it has an indacater light [03:35] __mikem, both accomplish the same thing [03:35] okay, that makes sense... I have looked into resizing, ownloaded gparted, but i do not have a seperate ubuntu partition... just my c: and hp backup [03:35] I HAVE TRIED THAT BUT IT CAN'T BE UPGRADE .... I'ts too old :))) I'm downloading now 8.10 so that's it thanks ffor the time ... [03:35] anyone have any experience with kboot? [03:35] mae: therefore, [03:35] glusce, no caps [03:35] fapmaster, sure join #fapmaster [03:35] dewente, You don't have GUi access to the server locally? [03:35] mae: therefore, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How do I resize the virtual disks? [03:36] glusce: It can be upgraded, it's not too old. Would you like to upgrade? [03:36] stupid copy+paste system [03:36] Hey guys I need some help, I just installed ubuntu on Windows and when I load windows from grub, I get this :A disk read error occured. Please restart. Can anyone help?? [03:36] * rww kicks it some more [03:36] mae: Linux has a pseudo-partition inside windows. [03:36] I love you! :) [03:36] *virtual hug* [03:36] from 5.10 to 8.10 [03:36] yes [03:36] glusce: No, from 5.10 to 6.06, and then from 6.06 to 8.04, and then you can upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 if you'd like. === Caveman is now known as Guest33633 [03:36] dewente, you also need to be logged in on the server in gnome for that to work. [03:37] histo, no [03:37] are you upgrading a server glusce [03:37] I'd stick with 8.04 [03:37] <__mikem> Flannel, I don't particularly like 8.10. I think 8.04 was better [03:37] mae: in this case, since wine installs stuff in /home, if you use the second option in that link I gave you you're gonna wanna move /home. [03:37] dewente, I have another option let me look up package names hold on. [03:37] anyone know where can I find deb file for prozgui ubuntu 8.10 64bit ? [03:37] glusce: Alright, change your sources.list to the following: (alt-f2, `gksudo "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"`) [03:37] histo. thanks ... i will be reading something here [03:37] okay, thanks [03:38] Hey guys I need some help, I just installed ubuntu on Windows and when I load windows from grub, I get this :A disk read error occured. Please restart. Can anyone help?? [03:39] okey ..what now ... my sources.list is empty and for update i recived : Your distribution is no longer supported [03:39] Please upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu Linux. The version you are running will no longer get security fixes or other critical updates. Please see http://www.ubuntulinux.org for upgrade information. [03:39] glusce: http://paste.ubuntu.com/77929/ [03:39] dewente, sudo aptitude install tightvncserver tightvnc-java on the server. Then you can point a webrowser at it the port vnc-java gives and take control of a session. [03:39] glusce: Replace your sources.list with that, save it, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:40] Hey guys I need some help, I just installed ubuntu on Windows and when I load windows from grub, I get this :A disk read error occured. Please restart. Can anyone help?? [03:40] I'm pleased to say all my problems with Ubuntu are solved! [03:40] histo, ok .. let me download it [03:40] Hello People. [03:40] Crewsr3: you did look at dmesg | tail ? [03:41] Can anyone help me figure out how to access my laptops built in memory card reader? I am using an hp dv9000t running Ubuntu 8.10 [03:41] glusce: Also, whats the output to 'uname -a'? [03:41] jerrylicious, i imagine people will be wanting you to pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' and your /boot/grub/menu.lst - when someone does have the time to help you.. [03:41] Crewsr3: and it seems that the -t should be in front of the filename an mountpoint [03:41] zsquareplusc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/77932/ thanks for all of your help with this [03:41] !amule crash [03:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about amule crash [03:41] zsquareplusc, let me try that [03:41] EvL_Gamer, plug in card.. check dmesg command output.. SOME of those built in readers are not supported for all the media they can read. what kind of card are you trying to access? [03:42] zsquareplusc, same error [03:42] zsquareplusc, can you make sense of the dmesg | tail output? [03:42] the card is a sony memory stick pro. i ran that "dmesg" command, and it output a LOT heh, what should i look for? [03:42] Linux ubuntu 2.6.12-9-386 #1 Mon Oct 10 13:14:36 BST 2005 i686 GNU/Linu [03:43] anyone know where can I find deb file for prozgui ubuntu 8.10 64bit ? [03:43] EvL_Gamer, the end of the output.. its a log file.. new stuff at end. [03:43] Is someone familiar with running TeamSpeak servers under Ubuntu Server Edition? [03:43] glusce: alright. Once your dist-upgrade is done, do this: sudo apt-get install linux-image-686 ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal, and let me know when you've finished that. [03:43] Crewsr3: it may print if the ext3 driver is unhappy or if its something else [03:43] EvL_Gamer, and those cards Might NOT be supported.. normally SD cards are.. and the more common ones.. I dont even have a sony card to test.. I do have a HP DV2000 laptop :) [03:43] guys, for nfs what is the better one? nfs-kernel-server or nfs-user-server? [03:44] xubuser: kernel will have better performance [03:44] zsquareplusc, what do you mean print? [03:44] Crewsr3: you still do have the original image file. then we could play around with the decompressed image and try fsck [03:44] dr_willis, I dont see anything in the last screen worth of that log data that mentions usb anything [03:44] quagga: hmmm, would it require rebuilding kernel? Or will it work off the kernel currently in ubuntu install. === Guest33633 is now known as Caveman === Caveman is now known as Caveman_ [03:44] Crewsr3: print as in it wrote a message [03:45] EvL_Gamer, you are usiong a USB card reader? or built into laptop. the issue ive seen is with the 'built' in multi-readers.. USB ones normally always work. [03:45] xubuser: the latter. i believe it just interfaces with kernel modules already there [03:45] quagga: ok, sounds cool. Thanks for your help. :) === Caveman is now known as Caveman_ [03:45] EvL_Gamer, normally i do 'dmesg' plug in card.. wait a few secs and check 'dmesg' again.. normally some message shows up about the new card. [03:45] dr_willis, its built in. i just noticed this though, is it meaningful? usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [03:46] zsquareplusc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/77934/ this is what came of the fdisk [03:46] hohoho [03:46] EvL_Gamer, check dmesg again.. it may have some new info after that,, [03:46] dmesg can be a bit.. slow.. :) [03:46] I dont rember how to tail dmesg output to a terminal.. [03:47] Crewsr3: why fdisk? its a partition, we already verified that with "file". so fdisk wont find a partition table. [03:47] haloo [03:47] take a look ...Not good .... http://paste.ubuntu.com/77935/ [03:48] dr_willis, dmesg | tail [03:48] zsquareplusc, what should I do next? [03:48] dr_wilis, sorry nothing new. would be a bit dissapointed if switching to linux disables that feature, am really trying to get microsoft off this laptop :) [03:49] Crewsr3: you still have the original image? not that the tries to repair destroy something important [03:50] zsquareplusc, yes, I have not deleted the original partition and I have the image that I uncompressed [03:51] Crewsr3: then try fsck.ext3 -f /share/homebkup/home.img [03:51] Can anyone help me diagnose a problem running the linux version of StepMania? Or point me to a channel that I might find help? [03:52] EvL_Gamer, they have a message board on their site [03:52] zsquareplusc, Superblock has an invalid ext3 journal (inode 8). [03:52] Clear? [03:52] what should I do? [03:52] EvL_Gamer, http://www.stepmania.com/forums/ Would be a good start [03:52] I have a bunch of kernels listed on boot up, I tryed removing an old kernel and it says not installed. Why does it show up on the boot up screen? [03:53] histo, ive posted on there but no responses yet, just thought a shot in the dark here might get lucky with someone :) [03:53] Crewsr3: as you have the backup you can answer yes to these questions [03:53] droopsta915: Remove the kernels through package management [03:53] EvL_Gamer, there is also #stepmania and #stepmania-devs on freenode here [03:53] histo, is freenode another irc server? im relativly new to all this [03:54] Flannel:What do I remove? The image? [03:54] droopsta915: linux-image-[version]-generic, that's the package name, yeah [03:54] EvL_Gamer: this is freenode [03:54] thanks [03:54] EvL_Gamer: freenode is the network you'ar one. #stepmania is another channel on the network. this is the #ubuntu channel [03:54] EvL_Gamer, nope its the one you are on now just join the channel #stepmania and the channel #stepmania-devs You can do that by typing /j #stepmania in the text field where you type [03:54] Flannel , tks for the help ...

I am able to play the disc, but after the varios warnings are played it always ends with an error "cannot read from resource" before getting to the dvd menu. The disc is clean and scratch free. [04:14] DistroJockey, yeah i've tried to find boot options to enable dma for scsi disk, but there are none!... the funny thing is that ide developer switch their code to scsi because they found that scsi could handle ide better... maaan... why now write a new code...

[04:18] bob_, try pavucontrol [04:18] <__mikem> EvL_Gamer, did you get what I said? [04:19] exdebian, I use SATA mostly but some IDE, not tried with SCSI yet [04:19] __mikem: yea i got it, but im new to linux and that seems a bit over my head [04:19] my samba shares are not showing up when i browse the network [04:19] sheesh my windows are so big in ubuntu [04:20] DistroJockey, cool, need u'r help, pls check /dev folder, did u'r disks named hd* or sd*?

[04:22] exdebian, all ide and sata are now sd* [04:22] __mikem: fair point, i guess im just a bit surprised that with ubuntu marketing itself as a viable windows replacement that playing dvds is still complex. and this is from someone who would love to be able to ditch windows. [04:22] Why doesn't ubuntu let me chgrp directories that I own without being root? [04:22] question !!! After i download ubuntu 8.10 it's in iso format .... how to burnit to cd while using ubuntu 5.10 [04:22] help http://paste.ubuntu.com/77947/ [04:23] glusce> there is no 5.10. simply click on the file, if you are talking about ubuntu 8.10 === Caveman is now known as Guest31131 [04:23] glusce, maybe with growisofs ? (not sure on that one) [04:23] <__mikem> EvL_Gamer, well, the problem is, ubuntu can not lawfully distribute what is needed to play back DVDs. The DMCA effectively makes it illegal. IF you want DVD Playback to just work on ubuntu, you either have to get one of those Dell ubuntu machines or get licensed codecs from cannonical which I don't know if they are doing that yet === Guest31131 is now known as Caveman__ [04:24] is poweriso suported on ubuntu ? [04:24] wine ? [04:24] glusce: other apps do the same thing [04:24] glusce, nope, that doesn't look right. cdrecord ?

[04:29] <__mikem> mneptok, why? [04:30] ok have this machine has an ati radeon 9200 in it. The card has been a champ for my debian testing install. I put the ati perpritary drives on the thing. Now i go to do the same on ubuntu 8.04 and...i cant find the drivers. what gives? all the drives i find on ati's site says they do not support anything lower than 9500.

( I have been using ubuntu for 3 hours so far, don't lought to me ) :) [04:30] __mikem: it implies that DeCSS is being targetted by the movie industry. it's not. it's simply *illegal* in the US. [04:30] <__mikem> mneptok, technically, the mp3 gstreamer codec is illegal in the US to [04:30] if brasareo is not installed by default it should be in the repositories [04:31] __mikem: "fair use" has nothing to do with libdvddcss [04:31] I cant even tell if the thing is running in accelerated mode. I am able to use the desktop enhancements, sooo it would seem that it is working correctly. [04:31] <__mikem> mneptok, perhaps we should move this conversation to PM [04:31] Hey guys, do I seriosuly not need an antivirus for ubuntu? [04:31] __mikem: correct. which is why it does not ship in Ubuntu. and the reason we give is that it is illegal, not that "the mean music industry hates this WAAAA!" [04:31] EMPulse: no [04:31] glusce, what file did you download? [04:32] no antivuris needed. its that great!

[04:33] *2.6.27 etc. [04:33] hey guys some of you know the diff files inside format? [04:33] binMonkey did you have anything special you added to the kernel line of the other kernel? [04:34] glusce, your system may not have the requirements for that package [04:34] scunizi: you mean before the update? no. i just deleted quiet and splash from menu.lst. [04:34] waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [04:34] the big question i have is there is a line in the howto on this that says. Enable accelerated the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the restricted-manager [04:34] does anyone experience sudden unexplained amule crashes, apparently especially when comp has been idle for some time? (8.10) [04:34] there is no drivers availabe in the drivers manager [04:35] binMonkey: ah.. on mine I had to add pci=nomsi to get it to boot [04:35] glusce, if you are running Ubuntu 5.10, it's probably better to use some terminal based program [04:35] scunizi: ok. what does that do? how did you know to add that? [04:35] glusce: there any particular reason you dont just intstall a later version of ubuntu? [04:35] !iso > DistroJockey [04:35] DistroJockey, please see my private message [04:36] i didn;t have one [04:36] binMonkey: not sure if you'll need it.. it's just that with my motherboard (newer) the kernel has some issues.. after googling extensively I found that line to add to the end of the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst.. no idea if it will do anything for you or not. [04:37] i'm downloading 8.10 and it's in iso format , is it posible to install directly or i need to put that iso file to cd ? [04:37] <[TiZ]> I just uninstalled fglrx, and compiz is running seriously slow with radeon. Before I installed fglrx, radeon ran compiz great. What do I do? [04:37] scunizi: ok. thanks. [04:37] <[TiZ]> I went to #radeon, but they were no help at all. [04:37] glusce: burn to a cd as slow as you can as an image.. not data [04:37] Nor suported by 5.10 ... :( hecking for BRASERO_GSTREAMER... configure: error: Package requirements [04:37] glusce, it's possible (just may not be easy) [04:37] glusce: gotta put that to cd. there is the option of a network install, which is convieniant [04:38] you can use a usb to install live cd and install [04:38] tiz just curiouse what card? [04:38] <[TiZ]> sgraham: Xpress 1150. [04:38] glusce: ive done that before on a computer that had no cd drive. lemme tell ya, getting grub onto a windows 200 computer is an adventure [04:38] ok i have a9200 im struggling with right now..older card [04:38] :) [04:38] however, i do have a page that talks alot about how to deal with those cards [04:38] holdon [04:39] !amule bug [04:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about amule bug [04:39] [TiZ]: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [04:39] !ubuntu 8.10 splash screen frozen? [04:39] <[TiZ]> sgraham: Did you uninstall fglrx too? My problem is a strange one. Radeon + compiz = awesome, before installing fglrx. Installed fglrx, used it for a while. Now, I uninstalled fglrx. Compiz + Radeon = fail now. It shouldn't work like that. [04:39] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:39] ok, so what tools to burn an iso were available in ubuntu 5.10? *ponders* [04:39] Is it possible to copy a collection of folders without copying their contents? [04:39] gluonman: be more specific [04:40] DistroJockey: was k3b available back then? [04:40] <[TiZ]> sgraham: That page isn't going to help me. [04:40] scunizi, hmm, I doubt it [04:40] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, how is that not specific? If I have a bunch of directories (folders) with contents in them and I want to copy the folders to another location but as empty (without the contents), is it possible? [04:40] gluonman: ls /proc/ post the output [04:40] scunizi, better to look for the terminal based stuff behind the front-ends I think [04:41] <[TiZ]> sgraham: However... a page it linked to MIGHT help. [04:41] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, what is that? [04:41] DistroJockey: I think you're right.. [04:41] gluonman: open a console [04:41] hiii [04:41] gluonman write ls /proc/ and tell me what it says [04:41] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, I know it's console, but what are we trying to accomplish with that command? [04:41] scunizi, I've not used terminal based recording stuff. I know it's there, just not what it's called :) [04:41] gluonman: ls is list [04:42] gluonman: /proc/ is a directory [04:42] smbclient -L is reterning NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [04:42] Ok so now when I try to play a dvd in either VLC or Totem, both programs simply exit as soon as I tell them to play the dvd.

I am trying to get this installed using fwcutter firmware installer with the latest firmware package for the BCM43xx. Anyone have this combo please let me know how you got it to work [04:42] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, oh, you mean replace /proc/ with my desired directory? [04:42] lol [04:42] gluonman: yes [04:42] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, could have made that clear in the beginning. [04:42] I have it working using ndiswrapper for now but I prefer the firmware and module method [04:43] gluonman do "mv /directory/you/want/tocopy /proc/ [04:43] " [04:43] smbclient -L is reterning NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. any ideas? [04:43] without quotation marks [04:43] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, and that will copy the directories as empty to another location? [04:44] yes, then it will prompt you for the destination directory [04:44] DistroJockey: gnomebaker is the google reference for 5.04 cd burning [04:44] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, couldn't I just include the destination in that above command at the end? [04:44] but first do sudo mv /directory/you/want/tocopy /proc/ [04:44] glusce, scunizi : I think cdrecord (aka wodim) may be the one [04:44] scunizi, ahh, that's good [04:44] trying [04:45] fedora i have a bcm card too i had to add 1 repository and 2 packages to get d43 driver work [04:45] glusce, you have gnomebaker ? [04:45] glusce: if you cant get a cd burnt, do a network install [04:45] DistroJockey: cdrecord has been around forever. I don't know how to use it though. [04:45] google it easy to find [04:45] scunizi, yeah, that's why I thought of it. Neither do I :) [04:45] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, just to be clear "/proc/" is the code that will tell it to copy the directories and not their contents? [04:46] exactly, its the first step in copying the directories without the files contained [04:46] can anyone tell me how i can create a floppy disk with usb drivers so i can finally boot my USB key? [04:46] I want to use my Windows key to open the Applications menu on Ubuntu. How? [04:46] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, but I had asked, is it possible to declare the destination on the same line after "/proc/ "? [04:46] xorlim: be more specific, which key [04:46] gluonman: not yet, its a multi step process [04:46] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, alright. Thank you. [04:47] xorlim: the windows key is refered to as 'super'. go in under system>preferances>keyboard shortcuts, it ought to be in there [04:47] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: left hand Meta key, with the Windows logo on it.

[05:05] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: what? [05:05] does anyone know of a floppy disk image which will boot a USB drive that has ubuntu on it? (for legacy computers without bios options that support it) [05:05] mmm.....yeah it may be because I think the problem is that the graphic interface is not loading [05:05] j0ey: what modules do you have loaded at the moment [05:05] does anyone here know if using an ext2 filesystem for / rather than ext3 (on an eeepc) will introduce significant issues? Say if the FS is accidentally filled up or there was a sudden poweroff during a write, would I experience new problems at the next boot? [05:05] Shirakawasuna: be more specific [05:05] evolve_: I googled that once and found something.. it's out there. sorry I can't guide you more. [05:06] scunizi: i've found a few, just none seem to work with ubuntu [05:06] Shirakawasuna: There's slightly more likelyhood of data loss if you turn off the computer when it's in the middle of writing. However, since you're on an eeePC, you probably want to use ext2 anyway, to decrease writes to your SSD. [05:06] I may try to reinstall ATI drivers [05:06] libdvdread: Invalid title IFO (VTS_05_0.IFO).

[05:06] So FSCK_FSCK_FSCK I no longer have an etc now. [05:06] Thank you for that. [05:06] j0ey: I was wondering about that too [05:07] lol [05:07] woah [05:07] convert ext3fs for ext4fs real? [05:07] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: please don't tell people to do something that will harm their system [05:07] Well uh, there really isn't any going back now. [05:07] After I reboot now I'm screwed. [05:07] :| [05:07] Are there any ops about? (re: FSCK_FSCK_FSCK ) [05:07] rww: right. I just wanted to make sure that removing journaling wouldn't say... throughly corrupt the FS if it filled all the way up. It's a 2G SSD, so it's likely it will eventually fill up on accident (the user won't be me) [05:07] j0ey: move it back =/ [05:08] output of smbtree 192.168.1.103: MSHOME [05:08] i have samsung scx4200 printer driver but how to install tar file.

[05:09] rww: cool, I'll go with ext2 then :) [05:09] So I can't move it back. [05:09] mooglinux, is samba running and is the firewall turned off? [05:09] mooglinux: chances are that 208.whatever doesnt have ports 137-139 and 445 open to public [05:09] oh god, that was masterful [05:10] the 208.whatever i believe is my print server. no wonder it was not working. [05:10] j0ey: boot from a live CD and move it back... === FSCK_FSCK_FSCK is now known as che2208 [05:11] anyone ? :( [05:12] King_Bob: be more specific [05:12] evening [05:13] Okay , if i already have an app open ( apart from the OS ) that requires use of the sound card and then open up another application , the second application has no sound output , yet the first one does. [05:13] looking at the output of smbtree, the shares i want to connect to dont show up at all...not even a failed connection (http://paste.ubuntu.com/77955/) [05:13] i have samsung scx4200 printer driver but how to install tar file. [05:13] King_Bob: there is a problem [05:14] tech: did you get it from samsung site? then right mouse click and extract [05:14] is there a way to install ubuntu via vnc session if you have a headless server? [05:14] King_Bob: seems like the mixer doesnt like you. [05:14] yeeeee download and burinig copmleted now instaling ubuntu 8.10 wish me luck [05:14] King_Bob: im pretty sure theres something on the forums or the wiki about that [05:14] so at anyone time i can only have one app open that makes use of the sound card , should i close the application to use another app the problem remains, and its doing my head in. [05:14] King_Bob, try installing an using pavucontrol maybe [05:14] how do i create an interactive shell ?I want to be able to type a couple of lines in the terminal . [05:14] just upgraded to 8.10 now keyboard does not work under x. any ideas how to fix this? [05:15] DistroJockey , i will look into it now thanks [05:15] King_Bob: usually it suffices to stop sound ouput on one app and start the other one then [05:15] gpled: what do you mean it doesnt work? describe [05:15] gpled: try booting into singleuser (recovery) and running the x fix boot. [05:15] King_Bob, no problem [05:15] cheers guys , i will be back shortly [05:15] gpled: sounds like your new X config file isn't supporting your kb [05:15] gpled: sounds like the new kb config isnt supported your X [05:16] since i activated AGP 8x and FastWrite in xorg.conf, my Radeon9600 wont let me activate dual head anymore. I cant find out, what happened to my graphics card. Is there a way to "reset" the card? [05:16] think there is a command to update desktop manager [05:16] Are there any ops about? [05:17] ardchoille: #ubuntu-ops [05:17] i have samsung scx4200 printer driver but how to install tar file. [05:17] How can I run Wine as root? When I try, I get the error "~/.wine is not owned by you". [05:17] hmw, how about undoing the FastWrite edit you made to your xorg.conf? [05:17] tech: you keep asking the same question but don't answer or follow instructions.. find the instructions on the samsung site. [05:18] Joseph_K: try 'sudo wine ' maybe [05:18] tech, the driver is in the tar file. extract it [05:18] what's the best method to do a headless install? [05:18] Joseph_K, why do you want to run it as root? [05:18] How can i enter multiple bash lines in the terminal? I want to use that for just testing. [05:18] Anybody know how to apply an equalizer or something similar to ALSA or ESD that's NOT jackd? [05:18] Hi, I have a mouse now with forward/back buttons, and I'd like to use them to switch workspaces. I looked at !mouse already, but a) I don't really understand it (wiki could use work), and b) it only mentions things specific to applications, like f/b in Firefox, not things in X/Gnome. ANyoen know how this could be done? [05:18] mooglinux: been there and done that with him/her.. no answer.. no followup [05:19] DistroJockey of course i removed the entry. with that option, my pc freezed. when i now try to configure dual head, the second screen does another new annoying thing: just stays blank. looks like dualhead is working, but the graphics card has some glitch now. [05:19] DistroJockey: Good question. :) I want to run a BIOS update, which I _presume_ will require root privileges. [05:19] tonyyaruso, possibly using the config manager. [05:19] B|ackPanther: first;second; [05:19] GodfatherofEire: gconf-editor you mean? [05:19] sektor1952: ubuntu server [05:19] tonyyaruso, yep [05:19] Joseph_K, bios update via wine. Ouch [05:19] DistroJockey new idea: i try to use the setting with "no" [05:19] thanks gpled. [05:20] Joseph_K: I... kinda doubt that's gonna work even if you do get wine running under root [05:20] gpled: you want to update what? [05:20] yes juice I want to do a server install, but do not have a monitor or keyboard on the server [05:20] i just split patitions and installed kubuntu on my hard d with ubuntu... how do i get rid of the kubuntu? [05:20] hmw, twinview? [05:20] juice949: desktop manager [05:20] what is the meaning of Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" means in xorg.conf. My windows get no frame if I don't have it [05:20] rww, DistroJockey: Well, I want to try. :) [05:20] DistroJockey ?? [05:20] gpled: you want to update the package? [05:20] DistroJockey i had dual head already. then i just wanted more performance, bad idea. [05:21] so, nobody knows how I might modify the output of ALSA without using jackd? [05:21] ALSA or ESD [05:21] juice949: the gnome desktop manager [05:21] hmw, what are you using for the dual monitor setup? (software wise) [05:21] DistroJockey the open source driver [05:21] gpled: ok lets troubleshoot this. first do ls /home [05:21] gpled: and tell me what it says [05:21] hmw: nvidia? install nvidia-settings [05:22] scunizi radeon 9600 === Tyler is now known as Liar [05:22] hmw, for dual monitor the manufaterers binary would probably work better. the nvida dualhead works very well for me [05:22] yo.. i want to just run ubuntu ,,, can i get rid of kubuntu... i have both [05:22] hmw: sorry don't know one for that. [05:22] I know with a centos boot disk I can get a vnc session to launch to connect to a listening vnc client does ubuntu have something similar? [05:22] manufaterers [05:22] truthslave yes [05:22] Hi all. I was hoping I could get some help. I've got an atheros card. Used the madwifi instructions and it's worked fine for a long time. It was working at work today but now I'm home and it's not picking up my wireless network. The router say's it's up and I can connect with my DS and my wired network is working. Can anyone help? === Liar is now known as www4chanorg [05:22] hmw, ahh, I've only tried dual monitors with my nvidia box. Running OSS drivers and single monitor on the ATI box [05:22] Also, does anybody know why Booting from a USB key gives me so many problems? [05:22] ls /home shows my users === www4chanorg is now known as moot [05:22] trustslave, you just have to uninstall the kubuntu-desktop package. that will get rid of kubuntu, tho there will be some leftover apps [05:23] gpled: good that means the core system is intact [05:23] gpled: its a precaution for the package update === moot is now known as NULL [05:23] How do you define a shortcut to run a program from a keypress? [05:23] where do i do this? [05:23] DistroJockey mooglinux scunizi i wanted to remove fglrx and use the os-driver, because video performance was poor. couldnt even watch fullscreen without bad frame rate. [05:23] gpled: do ls /boot next [05:23] getting problem while trying to add printer "The CUPS server could not be contacted." [05:23] mooglinux... [05:23] how? [05:23] what is the meaning of Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" in xorg.conf. My windows get no frame if I don't have it. (I have a nvidia card) [05:23] gpled: i want to know the exact name of the file that says something like kernel or vmkernel [05:24] hmw, yeah. I assume the OSS driver doesn't do dual monitor too well [05:24] sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [05:24] gpled: "ls /boot/" [05:24] Rishab_: try http://localhost:631 and see if you can do it there. [05:24] no joy :( [05:24] DistroJockey negative. it worked very good before i set 8x fast write [05:24] hmw, works nice for single though [05:24] what's the difference between apt-get and aptitude? [05:24] is that a command? [05:24] hmw, ohh, did you undo that change and try then also? [05:24] truthslave, yes [05:24] yea, just enter that into the terminal [05:24] it's a command === NULL is now known as MauryPovich [05:25] alternatly you can use synaptic package manager and search for it [05:25] scunizi failed to connect [05:25] hmw, what card was it again? [05:25] DistroJockey thats the point. since i tried that, it wont let me undo it really. the second screen now always stays blank. didnt ever do that before. [05:25] \scunizi what that ment for ?? [05:25] DistroJockey radeon 9600 [05:25] BusterHymen: aptitude has a menu at terminal.. both are pretty much the same at this point. In the past there were some differences as to how they handled dependencies. === MauryPovich is now known as NULL [05:25] hmw, ooo, same as mine [05:25] DistroJockey setting fastwrite "no" doesnt help [05:25] scunizi: does general consensus recommend one over the other, or does it really not matter which one I use? [05:26] hmw, what ubuntu version? === andrea is now known as Guest14201 [05:26] Does anybody know why a USB start up disk seems to give me more trouble than a normal live CD? === mcj_ is now known as j0ey [05:26] Yeah. [05:26] Fixed it. [05:26] thanks alot [05:26] BusterHymen: doesn't really matter. [05:26] hmw, you tried "disable" [05:26] You fucker, where ever you are. [05:26] /join #fedora [05:26] GodfatherofEire: you have to be more specific. What kind of trouble are you having? [05:26] DistroJockey i can move the mouse to the other screen though. ubuntu 8.04 (because 8.10 doesnt work with my third monitor, 3dfx Voodoo Banshee) [05:26] !language | j0ey [05:26] j0ey: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:26] hmw, nods [05:26] j0ey: why so serious? [05:27] Scroll up. [05:27] BusterHymen, well, for some I get prompted for a specific kernel image, and/or asked to run commands from initramfs [05:27] j0ey: what happened? [05:27] Someone suggested that I move my /etc into my /boot with a command. [05:27] DistroJockey disable doesnt do more either [05:27] getting problem while trying to add printer "The CUPS server could not be contacted." the error message comes while going to printing option in system > Administration [05:27] hmw, what happens if you run it with no xorg.conf? (rename the file and make sure you know how to rename it back in a terminal) [05:28] DistroJockey i think i somehow damaged the card. but it still works with XP [05:28] I didn't know what the command did until after I had done it. [05:28] Fun stuff. [05:28] Hi all. I was hoping I could get some help. I've got an atheros wireless card. Used the madwifi instructions and it's worked fine for a long time. It was working at work today but now I'm home and it's not picking up my wireless network. The router say's it's up and I can connect with my DS and my wired network is working. Can anyone help? [05:28] hmw, I doubt damage [05:28] can any one help me out [05:28] DistroJockey i really tried any combination. working on it over 40hrs now in sum [05:28] i just installed steam and dod is running choppy any reason y? [05:28] hmw, gotta be a bad xorg.conf [05:28] hmw, if it were damaged it likely would not work at all [05:28] scunizi ??? [05:28] j0ey, that's terrible [05:28] DistroJockey mooglinux i really think, that the card uses some cmos [05:28] hmw, or a bad driver [05:29] I fixed it, but yeah I'm very reluctant to take advice in this channel now. [05:29] j0ey: dont let one bad apple spoil it for you man, this is normally a really good support chan :) [05:29] BusterHymen, well, for some I get prompted for a specific kernel image, and/or asked to run commands from initramfs [05:29] j0ey: yeah that sucks... most people will be glad to explain what a command does. it's always a good idea to ask =/ at least you fixed it [05:29] j0ey: there are some here who are very good with Ubuntu, don't give up on us :) [05:29] I have this Logitech trackball mouse ( http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/trackballs/devices/156&cl=us,en ) and I'm looking to remapt the forward/back buttons to scroll up and down rather than go back/forward. [05:29] hmw, backup your xorg.conf and try that dpkg-reconfigure mentioned at the start of the xorg.conf file [05:29] My question was that my Radeon is using MESA OpenGL drivers. If I install fglrx my X.org goes nuts and will not run. [05:29] DistroJockey i backuped the xorg.conf, while it was working. [05:29] j0ey, never execute a cmd that isnt explained what it does [05:30] GodfatherofEire: yikes... i don't have the slightest clue. sorry [05:30] DistroJockey it is the same as before, thats 100% affirmative [05:30] BusterHymen, no prob. [05:30] hmw, k, gotta be the driver then [05:30] !ati | j0ey Have you read these? [05:30] j0ey Have you read these?: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:31] Hey hey [05:31] can any one tell me what troubling me ?? [05:31] Yes I have read that. [05:31] So, anybody have any ideas as to why when I use a USB startup disk I get prompted for a kernel image or have to run commands from a terminal where the user/whatever im recognized as is initramfs? [05:31] In fact, doing what it says to in that guide is what crews up everything. [05:31] Rishab_: it's a phychological imperitive to deny the present reality [05:32] joey :i have samsung scx4200 printer driver but how to install tar file. [05:32] tech_: tar -xf /path/to/file.tar [05:32] tar -xzvf tarname.tar.gz [05:32] scunizi i am njot gettin what xactly u mean to say // [05:33] hmw, try a: sudo apt-get --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-radeon [05:33] Rishab_: it was a joke.. what you asked was not clear and had a double meaning.. [05:33] DistroJockey i just reinstalled the whole ubuntu. [05:33] hmw, ohh :( [05:34] With the new "Guest session" option in 8.10, what user is that defined as, and how can I edit what's allowed for it? [05:34] grr, finally got ubuntu working but I have nvidia issues now. :/ [05:34] Has anyone here had compiz-fusion effects not work after an upgrade to 8.10? [05:34] I NEED to use dual head because my internal monitor is busted up a bit [05:34] DistroJockey thanks for your help. i am giving up. [05:34] how do i make the horrible pidgin certificate warnings go away? [05:34] hmw, np, sorry [05:34] Senri: For a while, my Compiz was acting funny (parts of it were disabling themselves at random), but now everything is fine [05:34] Takuya, whatcha tryin to do? [05:34] the nvidia glx drivers were working on 8.10 originally, then I just let the system upgrade, now it won't work , saying nvidia x drivers are not in use currently, and my xorg says "nvidia" is the driver. [05:34] where do i get newer certificates, and how do i let pidgin know about them? [05:34] Just like to say thanks for the advise , i now have my issue resolved :) [05:34] oh [05:34] I just want to run the nvidia-glx drivers so that I can use dual monitors... [05:34] new kernal update [05:34] Oneiroii, was there anything you did to get them to work? [05:35] yeah, the kernel updated apparently [05:35] just reinstall the drivers [05:35] I keep getting this: "The root certificate this one claims to be issued by is unknown to Pidgin." it's driving me crazy, and google isn't helping [05:35] well [05:35] I did [05:35] King_Bob, cool :) [05:35] I think [05:35] I installed the 173 version then reinstlal the 177 using apt [05:35] Senri: Just updates, AFAIK - maybe the proposed and backports repos? [05:35] *reinstalled [05:35] Takuya: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:35] King_Bob, how? [05:35] Oneiroii, will try, thanks a lot! [05:35] mooglinux, do I have to use apt-get uninstall or something? [05:35] i recommend downlaoding them from the nvidia website and installing through the terminal [05:35] How can I determine the largest file on my computer? [05:35] ca-certificates is already the newest version. [05:36] ok, but then if there's another kernel update then what happens? [05:36] scunizi: look i need to add printer on my system and for that wen i am trying System > Administration > Printing option i am getting error message as "The cups could not be contacted" [05:36] did anyone get blank terminal window with the nvidia driver? how did you fix it? [05:36] i needed to install the alsa-oss package [05:36] scunizi: look i need to add printer on my system and for that wen i am trying System > Administration > Printing option i am getting error message as "The cups server could not be contacted" === Fezzler1 is now known as Fezzler1_ [05:36] you reinstall them lol. the driver has to recompile a new interface for each kernal. a new kernal breaks it [05:36] Justin_, I did, try restarting your compy. dfor me [05:36] King_Bob, ahh [05:36] also, mooglinux, I have a GeForce8600M GT and it's not showing up on nvidia's site. :p [05:36] Rishab_: try from a terminal... sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart.. and then try again.. [05:36] but it's supported by nvidia-glx supposedly. [05:36] justin-n_, *worked [05:37] seems like there's a kernel update every 4 days, that always screws everything up, so i just stopped installing updates, Im just gonna install security updates only, [05:37] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 (y) [05:37] thumbs up [05:37] hey, whats a good ubuntu linux book to read? is unix for dummies a great choice? [05:37] Senri, excuse me compy. d? [05:37] LF|Irssi: Kernel updates ARE security updates. [05:37] scunizi: I did that but dere no error message [05:37] meh [05:37] Justin_, computer [05:38] Takuya, hmm...try the ordinarry 8600 gt drivers [05:38] Rishab_: that line was only to restart cups.. did you try to install the printer again after that? [05:38] well I found this [05:38] http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.09.html [05:38] does that seem right? [05:38] Takuya: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:38] aaaargh [05:38] Senri, so u can fix it by rebooting? [05:38] Takuya, thats the one you want, yea. [05:38] yes again de same prob.. scunizi [05:38] Takuya, looks to be your best bet [05:38] ok [05:39] Justin_, that was all r me [05:39] Senri, i've tried, not work [05:39] Justin_, ah, then I do not know. Sorry [05:39] Senri, it's ok [05:39] Rishab_: the remaining part of cups is a mystery to me.. you might consider reinstall it. [05:40] Takuya, be sure to install the driver from the terminal. [05:40] but how to reinstall CUPS [05:40] before you can run sh NVIDIA*.run, you have to stop gdm [05:41] mooglinux: have you tried the newer 180 driver? [05:41] i havent. didnt know it was out [05:41] mooglinux, how to stop gdm by command line [05:41] please .. anyone.. make the horrible pidgin warnings go away [05:41] Anyone know if there's a channel for emulation? [05:41] mooglinux, ok [05:41] justin-: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [05:41] MFen: What Pidgin warnings? [05:41] well I'll be back and let's see what happens. [05:42] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [05:42] Oneiroii: [05:42] The root certificate this one claims to be issued by is unknown to Pidgin. [05:42] ah. :) [05:42] Oneiroii: every 20 minutes on google talk [05:42] ok brb [05:42] scunizi, mooglinux : latest I can see is 177.82 [05:42] 180 is prolly a beta driver? [05:42] MFen: ... I have no clue what you mean. I've never noticed Pidgin doing anything with certs [05:42] MFen: some claim it is to allow offline messages to be sent to you when you log on. i just reject it since im a security expert [05:42] are you running intrepid or hardy? [05:43] mooglinux, ardchoille , and use startx to restart? [05:43] Intrepid [05:43] snirks: that doesn't make you a security expert, and it has nothing to do with offline messages. [05:43] DistroJockey can you tell me, what differenc there is, if i just restart gdm and reboot? [05:43] /etc/init.d/gdm start [05:43] startx might work too [05:43] MFen: im still a security expert, and it has to do with offline messages [05:43] One last problem, when I go to reboot, it only reboots the xorg instead of shutting down the whole computer and booting it up again, any ideas? [05:43] ok, thanks :) [05:43] i already know what it is and why it's there because i asked #pidgin about it. what i don't know is how i get the stupid certificates installed on ubuntu [05:44] hmw, GDM is not enough. You would need to restart the X server [05:44] snirks: if you were a security expert, you would know how to verify the certificate and accept it [05:44] DistroJockey ahaa! how would i do that? [05:44] Hello [05:44] hmw, ctrl+alt+bckspace while in X [05:45] MFen: try the ca-certificates package [05:45] Any ideas why my reboots not working properly? It basically just restarts X instead of the whole computer [05:45] joey : i tried but this error come. [05:45] have anyone ever got blank terminal window with the nvidia driver? how did you fix it? [05:45] GodfatherofEire: sudo shutdown -r now [05:45] tar -xzvf UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz [05:45] tar: UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory [05:45] tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [05:45] tar: Child returned status 2 [05:45] tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [05:45] tech_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:45] DistroJockey hm. then my questions stands: what difference might it be, if i just killed X and reboot. i have the strong impression, that sometimes it needs to reload more than X [05:45] Starnestommy: yeah, i already have that, it's installed by default. i'm thinking about installing it from intrepid source. think that'll work? [05:45] I have a question about something very common... A broadcom wireless device. I am trying to get my laptop with a broadcom 4318 chipset to work with a WPA network. It can view the available networks, but it won't connect to the network I want it to. (wpa protected) [05:45] tech_: You should actually just be able to double click it. [05:45] MFen: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-lb/2008-August/000166.html [05:46] MFen: I'm not sure [05:46] GodfatherofEire: That'll shutdown the computer reboot it now. [05:46] Maybe doing that one time will fix stuff since X is buggin' out. [05:46] hmw, reboot should do all. But restarting GDM may not be as much as restarting X (not too sure really) [05:46] j0ey, I'll give that a shot, how would I modify the script for the menu though? [05:46] Oneiroii: thanks, but this is not an msn problem [05:46] That may not be the cert you need, but it should be the location, methinks [05:46] GodfatherofEire: No idea how to do that man. Sorry. :x [05:47] DistroJockey interesting thing is, i had the impression, its better to gdm restart than ctrl-alt-bs [05:47] j0ey,No problem, and thanks [05:47] hmw, you may be right [05:48] hmw, I rarely break my X server (not had to try ;) [05:48] MFen: Can you clarify what the issue stems from, then? I'm running the current Pidgin on Intrepid now, on AIM, Y!M, FB, MSN, etc, and have never seen a request/notification about a cert [05:48] any advice on how to get ubuntu to recognize and install my scanner once its plugged in USB? [05:48] Oneiroii: google talk [05:48] Oneiroii: it's the same message, different certificate [05:48] GodfatherofEire, have you tried sudo reboot? does it work? [05:49] There's a reboot command? [05:49] I've been doing it the long way the whole time? [05:49] Why doesn't ubuntu let me chgrp directories that I own without being root? [05:49] Justin_ I'll give that a shot too if it doesnt work [05:49] yes, sudo reboot [05:49] theres a command for everything :) === noor is now known as CerealThief [05:49] Haha, there really is. [05:49] Like I didn't know w existed. [05:50] j0ey, and sudo poweroff to turn off the computer === CerealThief is now known as FooManchu [05:50] LF|Irssi, and if there isn't, you can make one (alias) :) [05:50] And I was always using who. [05:50] And w is even better, too. [05:50] j0ey, who? [05:50] The 'who' command. === FooManchu is now known as Jedu === Jedu is now known as jed73 [05:51] MFen: You only have one GTalk account in Pidgin, right? [05:51] Is there a good way to install a second Ubuntu from another installation of Ubuntu? [05:51] So will pulse 0.9.11 (glitch-free) be in 8.10? [05:51] Joey; what does the who command do?? [05:52] joot: Type w in a terminal. Shows what users are using the PC. [05:52] j0ey, who should not reboot system... [05:52] Oneiroii: i have two actually [05:52] jed73, install how, upgrade or to another computer.... [05:52] That may be the problem [05:52] Joey; thanks [05:52] Oneiroii: why, is that a known bug? [05:52] to another hard disk i mean [05:52] Justin_: ...? I never said it would. [05:52] knix, no [05:52] Are they both on talk.google.com or whatever for the server? [05:52] Why is the RTL8187 and R8187 so unstable ? [05:52] j0ey, ok, sorry [05:52] How do I configure my Wireless modem? [05:52] mooglinux, install to a new partition to dual boot [05:52] Two different topics. :p [05:52] wat program will let me burn a image file so that its bootable for linux? [05:53] knix, 8.10 has 9.10-2 [05:53] Oneiroii: probably, i think i copied the settings for one to the other [05:53] jed73, easiest way i can thinkof is to just pop in the cd, and manually choose which partition to use [05:53] I know :( I was hoping it'd get updated eventually, it's a massive fix [05:53] !burn [05:53] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [05:53] DistroJockey: Is there a backport for it? [05:53] MFen: Change the server for just one of them to talk.l.google.com [05:53] knix, no idea. But if it's good, there will be I guess [05:53] mooglinux, well sure, that's easiest... [05:53] joshua: gnomebaker [05:54] Oneiroii: haaaaallelujah [05:54] k3b is nice for burning iso's [05:54] jed73, also the only way i know of lol [05:54] Oneiroii: it asked me to confirm that one, and now it's done asking me. hooray! [05:54] if you dont mind a million KDE libs on your system [05:54] thanks is there a way i can get ksb through synaptic or something like that with ubuntu 5.04? === ubuntu__ is now known as blz [05:54] k3b [05:54] MFen: :) Looks like Pidgin has issues with multiple certs for the same server === blz is now known as lolwut [05:55] well my upgrade to 8.10 has issues. any idea how i can get sound back? [05:55] some nvidia/OpenGL expert here? question... [05:55] Oneiroii: how did you know? [05:55] I need some help configuring a Thomson Wireless modem please? [05:55] joshuah, best bet is gnomebaker [05:55] can x64 ubuntu still run 32-bit apps? [05:55] MFen: I want to say magic, or expertise, but it was really just Google [05:55] Yep. [05:55] :) [05:55] lolwut, afaik, yes [05:55] lolwut: Yeah, whoops. [05:55] k thanks so do i just download gnome baker the rpm? [05:55] Forgot to hilite ya. [05:55] Oneiroii: i tried google! it did not help me :( [05:56] I need some help configuring a Thomson Wireless modem please? [05:56] joshuah, we don't use rpm's here [05:56] !info gnomebaker [05:56] gnomebaker (source: gnomebaker): application for CD/DVD creation in the GNOME desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-1 (intrepid), package size 991 kB, installed size 2980 kB [05:56] I installed Ubuntu on a whole bunch of machines at work, and the employees are using the default mail client. The emails they send out have time stamps that are several hours off... I'm supposed to fix it, but I've no idea where to begin.. Any suggestions? [05:56] no not the RPM, Ubuntu doesn't use RPM [05:56] Oneiroii: what did you search for? [05:56] omar_, j0ey: does anything need to be done, or does ubuntu handle it transparently? [05:56] joshuah: gnomebaker is in the repos [05:56] I Googled "pidgin google talk certificate" and it was like the fourth or fifth result [05:56] joshua: sudo apt-get install gnomebaker [05:56] joshuah, try the apt first [05:56] k where is that located? [05:56] i'm pretty new too linux lol [05:57] joshuah, you have working repos for 5.04? [05:57] joshuah: see what joot posted to you [05:57] Oneiroii: i should have left out 'ubuntu' [05:57] Who is using 5.04? [05:57] I think I may have to slap you. [05:57] i think i do [05:57] joshuah, I think [05:57] joshuah: i'd stay way from rpms. .deb is the standard in ubuntu for packages [05:57] joshuah: which version of Ubuntu are you using? [05:57] can anyone tell me is i'm completely offbase wanting to restore hardware raid images with linux software raid? (mdadm) [05:57] 5.04 ... lolwut? [05:57] luminerd: do you think it is the mta or clients that are putting the wrong time? [05:58] 5.04 still works [05:58] i think he means 8.04 [05:58] joshuah, 5.04 is not supported anymore [05:58] hey guys [05:58] joshuah, however there are program convert from rpm to deb [05:58] are there any GUI programs that let you change the splash screen? [05:58] joshuah, but I try anyway ;) [05:58] I don't really want to mess with anything manually [05:58] EMPulse: yes, try startup-manager [05:59] Justin_: I may be off, but isn't it sometimes easier to compile from source rather than mess with RPMs? [05:59] or maybe it's start-up-manager ... i forget [05:59] Hi, I'm trying to set up wireless by following the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=896713e. I'm having issues with step 2 - I can't seem to make a wl.ko file. Can anyone help please? [05:59] justin-: alien is quite dangerous [05:59] lolwut, thanks [05:59] np [05:59] Justin_: alien is quite dangerous [05:59] what's that command line that tells distro version again (not uname)? [05:59] justin-: sorry, tab completion bit me [05:59] ardchoille, how dangerous? [05:59] lsb_release -a [06:00] !alien | Justin_ [06:00] Justin_: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [06:00] thanks ardchoille ! [06:00] DistroJockey: yw :) [06:00] would i still be able too install gnome backer on ubuntu 5.04 at least so i can upgrade? [06:00] baker* [06:01] joshuah, maybe, it was supported in 5.10 as I helped someone earlier using 5.10 [06:01] joshuah: I think you can open a terminal and type.... sudo apt-get install gnomebaker [06:01] joshuah, joot : but the repos are probably gone [06:01] joshuah: do alt + F2 then type 'lsb_release -a' tell us what it says [06:02] joshuah, joot : would need to search for a .deb package if that's the case [06:02] can anyone help please? make -C /lib/modules/<2.6.xx.xx>/build M=`pwd` is supposed to make a wl.ko file and I can't figure out how to make it work. [06:02] apt-get dist-upgrade haha seriously. [06:02] joshuah: gaah [06:02] j0ey, nah, he's getting 8.10 [06:02] He better! [06:02] j0ey, upgrades suck ;p [06:02] That's also true hah. [06:02] Oneiroii, not really compling is easy. because there are many dependancies have to be solved [06:03] Joey I do not think you can jump more than one uprgade [06:03] Wow... so apparently typing /list in LostIRC gets me bumped off the server [06:03] k i tried that now its asking for a password [06:03] justin_: What package are you trying to install? [06:03] joshuah, that would be your login password [06:03] Oneiroii, I've try to complie kiba-dock on hardy for many days (almost a wee) [06:03] joshuah: use the pass that get you into the puter [06:03] ok i wasn't thinking thats was it was lol [06:03] Oneiroii, a week [06:03] gah ok I need help :p [06:03] mooglinux you there? [06:04] UNGGGGGG Why won't my OpenOffice.org repos update to 3.0!! [06:04] I installed the nvidia drivers by hand but when I start X it has a curses screen and says yes or no to SOMETHING, I can't tell what. [06:04] Oneiroii, I've done it now, anyway [06:04] My xorg config says nvidia, etc. has everything configured correctly, it just doesn't want to run X. [06:04] j0ey: forget the repos and get the .deb from openoffice.org :) [06:04] it tells me that sudo apt command not found [06:04] so i guessing it wont' work that way lol [06:05] joshuah, apt-get [06:05] LF|Irssi: I did that too but I want it to overwrite 2.41 or whatever, not run parallel. === Exchange is now known as _Danilo_ [06:05] Oneiroii, but compiling dose offer more portability [06:05] joshuah: Icopy paste this............... sudo apt-get install gnomebaker [06:05] j0ey: so uninstall openoffice first [06:05] So does anyone have experience with nVidia drivers and Xorg? [06:05] If I do that, it deletes ubuntu-desktop. [06:05] Which I want to have. [06:05] Takuya, a little. Sup? [06:05] Justin_: Wow, you really REALLY wanted a dock, eh? The first few things I see on Google about Kiba make me say "no way, thanks, I'll wait" [06:06] DistroJockey: I can't get my X to run using the nvidia driver. === Caveman is now known as Guest68056 [06:06] It ran before I updated 8.10 [06:06] I installed 8.10, i ran fine, I ran the system update, now it won't work. [06:06] j0ey: Don't use OOo 3! [06:06] Oneiroii, are u using hardy? [06:06] and my main internal LCD is busted, so it's really hard to do anything without my dual head. [06:06] Oneiroii: Why not? [06:06] Takuya, try with a clean /etc/X11/xorg.conf maybe [06:06] anyone want to teach me everything to know about ubuntu LOL [06:06] How do I know what the Vendor Lib of my MySQL Database is? [06:06] Takuya, just rename it [06:06] well the failsafe loads fine, but... I need my nvidia driver. :p [06:06] j0ey: I wanted it, too, but I just had a nightmare trying to downgrade - OOo 3 is, apparently, broken [06:06] Takuya, and reboot [06:06] joshuah: Does it work for you???? [06:07] DistroJockey: does it matter if the failsafe X works? [06:07] Hah, thank you for the warning. [06:07] joshuah@ubuntu:~$ apt-get install gnomebaker [06:07] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [06:07] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [06:07] joshuah@ubuntu:~$ [06:07] joshuah: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:07] j0ey: It may just be my machine, but still :) [06:07] thats wat i get [06:07] your forgot sudo [06:07] Takuya, xorg removed most dependancies on xorg.conf [06:07] joshuah: Forgot sudo before it dummy. [06:07] you* [06:07] Takuya, as of 8.10 [06:07] :p [06:08] hrmm ok. so.. that means? [06:08] (sorry, I haven't been using linux in a while.. ) [06:08] anyone know a good guide to teach everything i need to know on how to work ubuntu [06:08] VistaUser: Just using it :) [06:08] joshuah@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install gnomebaker [06:08] Reading package lists... Done [06:08] Building dependency tree... Done [06:08] E: Couldn't find package gnomebaker [06:08] joshuah@ubuntu:~$ [06:08] joshuah: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:08] Takuya, you should be able to boot with no xorg.conf and then install the driver again [06:08] Takuya: Most people's xorg.conf's are actually blank. [06:08] re-install? ack [06:08] j0ey: a good majority of apps you install will say it's removeing ubuntu-desktop, im not sure why it says that, maybe some of the pros in here can explain [06:08] You don't need to configure it anymore, but if you have it configured, it'll use whatever you specify. [06:08] lol if u just use it ull learn it [06:08] joshuah: You must use the command exactly sudo means you need root privilege for a while [06:08] jeez, linux changed a lot since slackware 9 haha [06:08] VistaUser before you start working with Linux, remove that awfull W*nd*ws crap xD [06:08] if so then i am on a cruddy srt [06:09] Oh, wife demands time - TTYL all [06:09] do i have too have gnomebaker downloaded before the command will work? [06:09] ok, so remove xorg.conf, reboot? [06:09] i did [06:09] LF|Irssi: Because ubuntu-desktop is a metapackages that links everything that comes with teh Ubuntu suite. [06:09] i had windows vista and i put ubuntu on it [06:09] Takuya: rename it to xorg.conf.old [06:09] VistaUser the Ubuntu Forums are good teaching guides ;) [06:09] Then try it. [06:09] ok, then reboot? [06:09] joshuah, those errors mean your repo doesn't have gnomebaker [06:09] ummm u have link i lost mines [06:09] Nah, just restart X server (ctrl-alt-backsapce) [06:09] ok [06:10] lesse [06:10] j0ey: hmmm it doesnt seem to ruin things by letting it "remove" ubuntu-desktop... [06:10] VistaUser http://ubuntuforums.org/ ;) [06:10] ok so there is no way too install it then? [06:10] least that's been my experience j0ey [06:10] ty i like ubuntus layout just havent gotten used to it i guess [06:10] LF|Irssi: It doesn't ruin things, but it's a metapackage that just.. let's say that you had gnome installed only. [06:10] Distrojockey: are you able to give Joshuah a repo help that can get him a gnomebaker ?? [06:10] IF you wanted everything in Ubuntu, instead of selecting it all by itself, you just select that package. [06:10] joshuah, even http://www.getdeb.net/ can't find gnomebaker :( [06:11] And it'll select all the stuff it comes with. [06:11] You get me? [06:11] Question: How do I know what the Vendor Lib of my MySQL Database is? [06:11] joot, just tried to, not so far [06:11] yeah makes more sense now :) [06:11] ooo yah [06:11] how i partition drive i want to try another OS without going over this one [06:11] Distrojockey: He wants to burn an iso is there an old burner available [06:12] joot, yeah [06:12] he could always try cdrecord [06:12] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hoary/+source/gnomebaker/+builds (no records) :( [06:12] Distrojockey: maybe you can point him there [06:12] cdrecord will never go out of style. :) [06:12] j0ey: indeed :) [06:12] anyone? [06:12] can't get much older than that [06:12] j0ey, yeah, that's the prog I suggested earlier [06:12] could somebody help me with a cairo clock theme [06:13] Does anyone know anything about getting wireless working for 8.10 on a Mini 9? [06:13] how do I make a complete backup from my current ubuntu keeping all packages that I have installed which I can restore after cleaning out my harddrive? [06:13] Xylia2: Depends very much on what your Wireless card is. [06:13] could anybody help me with installing a cairo clock theme [06:13] Go into Synatpic and just type in the vendor of your wireless card and you should be able to find a package. [06:13] j0ey: It's BCM4312. [06:14] joshuah: maybe you can try K3b but I never had any success burning iso with it>>>:-(( [06:14] Question: How do I know what the Vendor Lib of my MySQL Database is? [06:14] ok i downloaded gnomebaker and it opened with file roller so is there a way too extract it or something so it runs? === Caveman is now known as Guest75804 [06:14] now its making sense [06:14] omg this chat uses so dificult words [06:14] Quick question. Say im running software raid. Would it benefeit me going 64bit or sticking with 32 bit? [06:14] joshuah, as a .tar file? [06:14] yes as a .tar file [06:15] joshuah, extract it using roller [06:15] Doonz: I don't believe, unless there are optimizations for 64bit that are clearly stated. [06:15] joshuah, then read the README [06:15] can somebody help me with installing a cairo clock theme [06:15] ok what should i extract it too? [06:15] well that was a no - go [06:15] I did that and X says something like [06:15] Ubuntu is running in low-res mode, (EE) no device matcing description in config [06:16] X starts but it's in low-res, and says the nvidia X driver is not running. [06:16] joshuah, just extract all contents to a folder [06:16] Takuya: Install EnvyNG. sudo apt-get install envyng [06:16] ok === mobile is now known as MadCowBoy [06:16] and then run it after? [06:16] Takuya: After you do that, type envyng -t [06:16] hrmm couldn' find package envyng.. [06:16] joshuah, it may have a folder structure in it already or you can extract to a clean folder [06:16] Takuya: envyng-core my bad [06:16] :) === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [06:17] joshuah, the README should tell you the steps to install it [06:17] anyone know a site with all the linux based OS? [06:17] I put the Trash can on my Desktop but want to change icon. How can I see where the icon is located so I can change it? [06:17] Takuya: Then uninstall/reinstall drivers as needed, make sure you don't reboot after you uninstall or else you'll end up in a terminal shell! [06:17] VistaUser, distrowatch.com is a good start ;) [06:17] ok ty [06:17] it shows me a box and says stuff but I can't see it on my busted monitor [06:17] :/ [06:17] all I see is select one of the activities and press enter [06:18] What is your video card? [06:18] GeForce 8600M GT [06:18] omg every day a new OS comes out [06:18] Takuya: Press 2 [06:18] ok [06:19] it's removing nvidia-177 [06:19] do you want to restart now? [06:19] VistaUser, pretty much. Not all are good though ;) [06:19] Takuya: NO. [06:19] ok [06:19] Don't restart. [06:19] ok [06:19] now what? [06:19] Run the program again, and press number 1. [06:19] ok [06:19] floodboat1 : when i open with archive manager this will come gzip: /tmp/.fr-xgPhic/UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar-2.gz: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored. [06:19] yah true i want to find the right one bmy styleut nothing seems to fight [06:19] please select the number.. corresponding to the driver..

[06:38] what does tee do? [06:38] distrojockey, 3945ABG intel PROwireless [06:38] Takuya: man tee [06:38] amd1333: what app?

[06:39] because I can't tell the error.. [06:39] adam7_: it's like... erroring out and I can't see it. [06:39] amd1333: you can download that for linux you know [06:39] that would be your best option [06:39] Takuya: cause the ouptut is off the bottom of the screen? [06:39] so I need to put that to a file so I can read it [06:39] gbear14275, I imagine that is pretty common. The search I suggested was mainly tweaks to the tcp/ip stack that can improve all connections that use tcp/ip [06:39] If I were to create a system-wide folder to share videos and music and other files, where's the best place to create this folder? [06:39] Ok, I try to play a DVD using xine(Totem) and it plays the various FBI warnings, but then it errors out and asks me "dvd is encrypted, are you trying to play a dvd without libdvdcss?" which i DO have installed, in fact looking in synaptic its actually libdvdcss2 thats installed [06:39] adam7_: no it's at part of my screen where it is busted [06:40] what you mean? download it for linux? i am using newsleecher in wine.?? [06:40] hello, i need your advise, i am new here. which is better to use hardy or intrepid? some people said to me intrepid is new, and maybe it not stable right now, but hardy heron is the best choice, izit true? [06:40] so I can't actually read the screen [06:40] Takuya: run the command, and when it completes, just press ctrl+c a bunch of times to move the ouput up the screen [06:40] the output goes off the screen though [06:40] like [06:40] * votes for hardy [06:40] unitedpotsmokers: Intrepid is the latest release, Hardy is an LTS release (Long Term Support) [06:40] unitedpotsmokers: intrepid should work fine [06:40] I'm in a console [06:40] not a terminal [06:40] pure cli [06:40] does anyone knows a good game native for linux [06:41] Takuya: do you use screen in console?

[06:41] not really... not right now [06:41] amd1333: I would google something like 'newsleecher in linux' and read through stuff [06:41] I iknow I could SSH [06:41] how about hardy and do a upgrade to intrepid? maybe it should be fine? [06:41] but..

[06:43] I mean, you can use Wine for some stuff, but I'm sure there's a million newsreaders for Linux.

[07:50] but i needed change vista gave me such a head ache [07:50] frankS2: i have entered my password and did everything now what? [07:50] VistaUser : Me too and it is not too hard if you get your head away from the windows minset [07:50] mindset [07:50] Oneiroii: Thanks ill try that. [07:50] joot: TRUE THAT [07:50] ChrisStone: #ubuntu is the irc channel you are in now [07:50] MicroSoft has made computer user's idiots.. (no offense) [07:50] ooh [07:50] bloody === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [07:51] joot hoow did u do it? i am always going to the bottom left hand cornor looking for the start button [07:51] WIGGMPk: I agree and im one of them. :) Windows has corrupted me [07:51] VistaUser: What window manager are you using? [07:51] OK [07:51] O.O lots of commands out there [07:51] Oneiroii what u mean?? [07:51] ChrisStone: :) [07:51] gnutron:it's growing [07:52] VistaUser: Well, when you installed Ubuntu, was it Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Xubuntu? [07:52] nathanhelp: its not hard, if you ever took an MCSA or MCSE class, its almost laughable on how MS SAYS THINGS WORK, but its just not the same in the field and in pratice [07:52] VistaUser : just become a random clicker for a while you may get some pleasant surprises [07:52] So I want to limit the amount of SSH connectinos I can have on My server. I want only 5 people to be able to connect at one time (for now), How should I do this???? [07:52] Ubuntu [07:52] Oh i have another question. Is wine a recommended download becuase i heard if can cause problems? [07:52] it can cause* [07:52] WIGGMPk:I take it you are what you say [07:52] lol joot that kinda sounds wrong bt ok ill try [07:53] VistaUser :If you have a question for the bot prefix with ! [07:53] anyone????? [07:53] ok [07:53] Lokin_: this doesnt answer your question but can be helpful. running a headless server can be difficult, webmin is a nice application that can ease administration, for beginners (no offense, just giving some choices) [07:53] is it smart? [07:53] !webmin [07:53] 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. [07:53] LOL [07:53] Are there any other ubuntu support channels? [07:53] UnknownUser57: "you are what you say" what you mean by that? [07:53] apt-get install webmin? [07:53] how can i make black theme? [07:53] he mean ,weadmin [07:53] *webadmin [07:53] ardchoille: take that back.. i will kill [07:54] lol [07:54] VistaUser : there is tons of info on all the distros on line and here at ubuntu [07:54] !webadmin [07:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about webadmin [07:54] ok [07:54] webmin is an easy install [07:54] WIGGMPk: Never taken them :) Been a WUser all my 27 year old life. Just now getting into Ubuntu. confusing commands when you first encounter them but once you understand them and teh principles of usage, it's quite simple. Like today i learned (about 5 minutes ago actually) that I can sudo apt-get programname/package-name, and also apt-get search program-name for potential candidates. [07:54] No, it's webmin - just funny that it's "unsupported" [07:54] BLACK THEME [07:54] !terminal [07:54] 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 [07:54] WIGGMPk: but we are not supposed to recommend webmin here [07:54] how can i install ipod update/firmware while on ubuntu? [07:54] with itunes? [07:54] confusing? compared to BASH? [07:55] OYEEE [07:55] or Batch* [07:55] ardchoille: aye, but it does help administration on a headless server for first time users.. so I dont RECOMMEND it but its an option lol [07:55] WIGGMPk: Any Other Ideas? [07:55] I tried making a VERY simple py script but It didn't work [07:55] ardchoille: Not disagreeing with you, but you realize that Google's top search results for Ubuntu server installs all suggest webmin? [07:56] Oneiroii: google doesn't run this channel or make the rules here. When in rome.. ;) [07:56] nathanhelp: that cool that your interested in the command line way of doing things.. but a common thing I found when I started using Linux was that a lot of users are really turned off by the fact of the command line, when you really DONT need to use it.. You can basically do everything you need with a GUI in Ubuntu (some other distro's might not be true Out of the Box) [07:56] Anyone???? [07:56] !dock [07:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about dock [07:56] ardchoille: Again, no disagreement from me - merely pointing out that if webmin is disadvisable, we should let the Ubu forums admins know :) [07:57] !simdock [07:57] Lokin_: sorry bud, I would have to look it up [07:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about simdock [07:57] !awn [07:57] Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy [07:57] k [07:57] i cant get wine to download mspc2 :( its a myspace chat client my friend made and it will only work for windows [07:57] VistaUser: ^^ [07:57] www.mspc2.com [07:57] ty [07:57] yw [07:57] ChrisStone: Pidgin supports MySpace chat out of the box, I believe [07:57] VistaUser: want a screenshot of awn? [07:57] ooh? ill have to check that out [07:57] brb [07:57] thanks [07:58] ChrisStone™ Have a look at http://appdb.winehq.org/ for applicationspecific instructions [07:58] ooo i had it silly me haha [07:58] okay [07:58] ^ ^ === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [07:58] Lokin_: I really dont know if there's a way to limit SSH connections via SSH (there most likely is, but I dont know how to do it) but I DEFINATLY know that you can do it via iptables (built-in Linux firewall) [07:58] !iswinehqcompatiblewithallwindows [07:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:58] anybody know why this command "sudo mount -a cifs //mickey/sharename /mnt/mickey/saraswati" would return this error message "TCP name Mickey/sharename not found" [07:58] VistaUser : info is available in the terminal man or apropos [07:58] oo kk [07:58] ty [07:58] could have fooled me unottu [07:58] :) [07:59] I have physical, and sshd root [07:59] bitmouse: mickey is case-sensitive, everything is [07:59] ChrisStone: #winehq may help you there [07:59] bitmouse: Also, can you ping that server by name and get a result? [07:59] okay ill try that thanks [08:00] Oneiroii: no, though when I type in smbclient -l mickey, I get all the expected data back [08:00] were i get wine consol? [08:00] When i click it in and press enter nothing happens [08:00] bitmouse: That's odd - try mount.cifs with the IP instead of the name [08:01] ChrisStone: /join #name [08:01] I am running Intrepid Ibex (amd64) and using Compiz Fusion and Emerald.. I added "emerald --replace&" to automatically start (in the sessions application) its not working... I have to run the command manually every time I reboot [08:01] aah [08:01] okay [08:01] Oneiroii: I did and it works, I just wondered what I am doing wrong cause it would be nice to use the TCP name instead of the IP address cause the ip address isn't static === omar_ is now known as nomono [08:01] for applicationspecific instructions [08:01] no such file directory [08:02] after i add an alias and close xterm, it disapears. why? [08:02] ChrisStone: where are you typing /join etc [08:02] adam7_, it didn't work [08:02] inside of the terminal [08:02] bitmouse: I had the same problem and just ended up setting a static IP for the server (on a DHCP network) [08:02] ChrisStone: Do it here [08:03] it sais "christone@abuntu:~$ [08:03] owen1: you need to put it in your ~/.bashrc file [08:03] gnutron: thank [08:03] oops [08:03] i've lost avi playback since yesterday.. anyone else have the same problem? [08:03] * gralco sees many people [08:03] ChrisStone: go to ubuntu server where you started then type [08:03] Oneiroii: lol, yeah looks like the Hostname's aren't working, I just tried to ping my NAS using it's hostname, and no love, but when I ping the computer I am on using the hostname it works [08:03] I thought it was /usr/sbin/update-grub not /sbin/update-grub???? [08:03] it worked [08:03] woot [08:03] thanks [08:03] got sound and no video - totem tries to search for a plugin but finds nothing === user3 is now known as cow_LUGU0 [08:04] bitmouse: Theoretically, you set the hostname for the comp you are on in the resolv.conf, so the NAS never gets called [08:04] Oh and im a little worried. Wont i need some protection? [08:04] WIGGMPk: "really turned off by the fact of the command line, when you really DONT need to use it.. You can basically do everything you need with a GUI in Ubuntu" I used to. it scared me off using Linux. this is my third try and once i understand things (I used to be quite good with Dos, but then windows GUI came along). Also early version of ubuntu (that i knew of, didnt have the right GUI's... meaning i had to find something i didnt know about and use c [08:04] However...I'm back .... and now that I understand that apt get thing im wondering how simple other things are as well. (and of course powerful) [08:04] like an antivirus? [08:05] ChrisStone: no virii in linux [08:05] Oneiroii: I don't know what you mean exactly, I meant that I pinged a dlink NAS [08:05] ooh [08:05] Oneiroii: or tried to [08:05] ChrisStone: If you really feel the need for antivirus, there's ClamAV, but you likely shouldn;t need it [08:05] weird. i guess theyre three steps ahead in the game [08:05] everything you do in the gui is an command that can be run from the commandline [08:05] bitmouse: Wait, who did you ping? 127.0.0.1? [08:05] ill take your word for it [08:05] no reason not to use clam [08:06] gbear14275: Agreed. Complacency is an open door to the enemy. [08:06] How to reboot into single-user mode? [08:06] linux virii while still rare will be growing with the increased userbase linux is seeing [08:06] Just don't log in as root and you should be pretty safe. not a real need for Linux AV at this time. [08:06] Well thank god for the creator of ubuntu. If it where as expensive as windows is i would never be able to experience it. [08:06] Oneiroii: I tried to ping the NAS I have on my network using it's TCP name, but it didn't work, but when I tried to ping the computer that I am on currently using it's TCP name, it worked, so I assume there is something wrong with using the TCP name is certain circumstances [08:06] nathanhelp: dos is nothing compared to the linux command line [08:06] Im gonna go to bed its three in the morning here. Nite everyone. [08:06] anti virus https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PandaAntivirus [08:06] after numerous issues i'ver finally opted to reinstall 8.10. now, after the reinstall off of CD i can't get gnome to start. [08:07] put your NAS name in /etc/hosts [08:07] commandline version.. [08:07] with its IP [08:07] Oneiroii: btw where is resolv.conf? [08:07] bitmouse: So (assuming your current computer is MOUSE) you ran "ping MOUSE" and got a response, ne? [08:07] adam7_, it didn't work [08:07] i wasn't aware there are various antivirus programs available in linux [08:07] startx returns an message saying it's not installed. [08:07] bitmouse: /etc/resolv.conf [08:07] resolv.conf is your DNS resolver file [08:07] nathanhelp: the way that I see it is, that Ubuntu has done what it took windows to do in less than a quarter of the time.. like Windows 3.1 to Windows XP SP2 (I wont even go to the billion dollar mistake called Vista) took them forever to get it right just to f it all up... Ubuntu was rocky at first (former Debian stable user here) but they transformed what the "Linux Desktop" OS can be... before, Linux was really just a product [08:07] anyone have any info on whats offered? i use nod32 on my windows OS [08:07] bitmouse: find / -name resolv.conf [08:07] gralco: My point being that Im here to learn how to use Ubuntu in a good way, rather than rely soly on GUI. [08:08] nathanhelp: but this is more suited for ubuntu-offtopic hehe =P [08:08] Oneiroii: exactly Oneiroii [08:08] and then it suggests apt-get install xinit and when i do it it tells me theres nothing to update or install. what the hell is going on? [08:08] bitmouse: Yeah. If you try to access a TCP name that's defined in resolv.conf (your local host is auto defined), the nameserver is never called. It just uses the IP given in resolv.conf [08:09] clam antivirus , panda commanline scanner, kasparsky etc , google for linux anti virus [08:09] can anyone advise how i can record from the front end (Watch live TV) is there a keyboard shortcut to start recording when watching live tv [08:09] Oneiroii> I think you are getting resolv.conf and /etc/hosts confused? [08:09] bitmouse: And more than likely, the definition of your computer in resolv.conf is something like "MOUSE localhost 127.0.0.1" [08:09] nomono: hm. well, I'm not sure then. You can ask the channel again and someone else will probably know [08:09] nathanhelp: much more flexible then windows command line eh? [08:09] interesting... I found this on linux antivirus and clamav isn't mentioned at all, must not have been around in 2002? [08:09] gralco: much :) [08:09] toupeiro: Is it? Poo. I do switch those [08:09] http://www.linux.com/articles/22899 [08:10] Oneiroii: for some reason my resolv.conf only has this entry, nameserver 192.168.1.1 [08:10] avast http://www.debianadmin.com/avast-antivirus-for-ubuntu-desktop.html [08:10] /etc/hosts is where you would want to define hostnames with IP's. /etc/resolv.conf is where you would put name servers for DNS resolution [08:10] ok i think ill try to start basic coding cause i am bored [08:10] f-prot anti virus is an other one [08:10] Oneiroii: I am using dd-wrt on that server and it will only give me the TCP name for the computer from which I am accessing it, wonder how to change that [08:11] basic... does that language still exist? [08:11] i think there is enough choice for anti virus in linux.. [08:11] VistaUser : what are you going to use?? [08:11] bitmouse: toupeiro was right, it's not resolv.conf, it's /etc/hosts [08:11] bitmouse: cause your behind router, that is the definitive DNS / Gateway, thats why resolv.conf shows that address === cow_LUGU0 is now known as user3_ [08:12] is there anyway to get these other TCP names, so i can just use them, since I am on my home network? === user3_ is now known as JJAKA_LUGU [08:12] unimatrix9: what offerings are you aware of... I don't have one installed right now but this convo will probably spur me to get one [08:12] bitmouse: The only time it worked for me was to run bind9 on my server, and use static IP for all the local network devices - I'm sure there's an easier way, though [08:13] I've had a look in usr/local/bin, theres nothing in there. where else would i look for the installed soundtracker? [08:13] bitmouse: some routers cache these name records. If it does not, your best bet is to put the names into the /etc/host files (or in windows: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc) === warren is now known as htrejh === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [08:14] and if you are using host files, be sure you are NOT using DHCP on your NAS, or you could potentially have to update those files a lot. [08:14] gbbear14275, unimatrix9, you may wish to read this.. http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [08:14] can anyone help me with my gnome issue on 8.10? [08:14] nathanhelp: Did you try "locate soundtracker"? [08:14] nathanhelp: might have to install locate "sudo apt-get install locate" [08:15] as i mentioned earlier, there is : f-prot , clam , panda commandline scanner, avast, kaspersky, i believe even macfee has an linux version, now some are paid , some are free, take your pick and google for it , for example, avast anti virus linux [08:15] ok thanks WIGGMPk and Oneiroii [08:15] nathanhelp: i started using ubuntu during feist, its been its gone a long way, jackalope is going to be a huge change from what i started with [08:15] cool thanks toupeiro and Oneiroii for the advice, I think I will just go with static IP since it is easier :-[ [08:15] wow my internet is acting up [08:16] VistaUser , mine too, where are you located? [08:16] Hawaii [08:16] hmm, i am in the netherlands [08:16] Bitmouse: No problem. :) Static IP isn't bad. [08:16] way off [08:16] lol [08:16] hehe [08:16] It's volanic activity affecting... ahh. those locations. [08:16] lol [08:16] VistaUser : high tide lol [08:16] uh... [08:16] Well... iceflows up north. [08:16] wtf haha [08:17] can someone please help me out with this? [08:17] toupeiro: yeah, it works :) [08:17] amh with what? [08:17] i just typed in locate help....terminal went nuts. [08:17] i think i got virus haha [08:17] oOarthurOo: i just installed 8.10 and gnome will not work nor reinstall. [08:17] i wish ubuntu was compatible with everything [08:18] hey, can someone help me out with something? [08:18] i wish ubuntu worked.. in the slightest way. [08:18] amh: That is too vague. Please describe in greater detail your problem. [08:18] got to go , bye all [08:18] Sweet - my Windows Avast registration is valid for the Linux version [08:18] Vista> I am sure you will find that Ubuntu is compatible with many more things than Vista is. [08:18] oOarthurOo:startx says i need to install xinit [08:18] lol is that true [08:18] amh and have you tried installing it? [08:18] oOarthurOo: apt-get install xinit says i need to install xinit-common or something. [08:19] amh: Ok... have you tried installing xinit-common? [08:19] oOarthurOo: and when i run xinit-common i get a message that says nothing was installed or updated etc [08:19] oOarthurOo: it appears to be already installed. [08:19] amh do you know how to use pastebin? [08:19] even games compatibles [08:19] amh> you have no GUI at all right now? [08:20] oOarthurOo: unfortunately i cant use pastebin in the scenerio. it's on another computyer. [08:20] toupeiro: no gui at al. [08:20] all [08:20] amh> what was the last thing you installed before you lost your GUI? [08:20] toupeiro: nothing. i just installed off of the CD [08:20] and than tried running startx [08:20] Hello I just did apt-get install java-package but I get - E: Couldn't find package java-package [08:20] amh: Ok, you'll have to do your best ... please post the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" [08:21] oOarthurOo: ok, i will type it out.. i hope its not long [08:21] Man, I remember my Gentoo Stage0 days... how far we've come since then... [08:21] hey this is a strange question, is there a way to run something as a different user while running as root? [08:21] amh> ok gotchya, a clean CD install then, and you never had a GUI.. my first step would be to do a: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade [08:21] amh: Yes... this doesn't sound like a killer problem. Patience sounds like the key to ubuntu bliss here. Too bad you are one of those for whom the default doesn't work well. [08:22] amh> if you have already done that, there is a package called ubuntu-desktop which I believe if you remove and reinstall, it should grab and dependencies you don't have installed. [08:22] oOarthurOo: all i see when i run that command are 6 entries that all start with 'deb" and say "interpid-security" [08:22] trying to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/mrv8k but it's not working iwscan isn't showing anything. anyone have any input? or familiarity with ndiswrapper? [08:23] amh that sounds like your problem [08:23] toupeiro: how do i remove and install? [08:23] oOarthurOo: ok how do i fix this? [08:23] amh: maybe someone will pastebin a working ... intrepid? ... sources list for you. [08:23] i need to disconnect this computer im on now to plug in the other machine . [08:23] Can someone tell me what entries I should have in my sources.list to install java? [08:23] amh what country are you in and what ubuntu version do you have [08:23] oOarthurOo:: Canada and im using 8.10 [08:23] All I have is - deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main [08:24] amh ask someone to post the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" who is from us or canada. [08:24] ok, well first i will try toupeiro's suggestions.. as they are above. [08:24] retype their output and then do this amh: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [08:25] amh that will likely say no package found. [08:25] ok, anything else i should try before i disconnect the internet on this machine? [08:25] terminal is searching... how do i tell it to stop searching? *and putting entries into terminal* [08:25] amh: The problem seems to be that you are missing the repositories where all the software is stored. security doesn't have much. You nee the other repositories with all the software. [08:25] nathanhelp: control c [08:26] joot: thanks [08:26] #ubuntu_ru [08:26] oOarthurOo:: is there a way to download the repositories?

[08:26] amh: There is no need to disconnect the internet. When someone posts there /etc/apt/sources.list you will see what your file should look like. You can copy theirs onto your system, then save and close. Then update and upgrade and after that all should work well.

And no, it doesn't really matter (just remember, only 4 primary partitions allowed per hard drive) [08:56] linuxguymarshall: oh my =/ [08:56] iarwain1: its not going to boot.. just used as a slave for vm's..

[08:57] iarwain1: and you can create a new partition as Primary or Extended.. which is preferred in my situation?? [08:57] WIGGMPk: doesn't matter, you can't make a harddrive extended. Partitions, yes [08:57] i updated mine and am trying to tell it to load a newer kernel, but its not using GRUB [08:57] WIGGMPk: doesn't matter :D [08:58] iarwain1: im not trying to make the 'harddrive' extended [08:58] I have a quick question. I just downloaded 8.10 and installed it under windows ( one of the install options ) . After install a problem came up. I have a laptop and as soon as i unplug it from the power source the os shows critical battery power and then shuts down. This just came up. It was working and then this just came up ( i don't know if this was from an update ) any ideas why this would happen? [08:58] iarwain1: im asking what type of partition should I FORMAT this harddrive with.. if its a slave, being used for just virtual machines and not an OS... [08:58] WIGGMPk: oh, ext3 is fine for almost everything [08:58] iarwain1:I have a "blank" cd. it mayyy work [08:58] linuxguymarshall: whoo! [08:59] iarwain1: what TYPE OF PARTITION.. if you said "Primary" i would use the ext3 filesystem.. but your not answering what im asking [08:59] anyone have any dieas?

[09:44] kandjar..what??? [09:45] prakash_ there is a firewall already built in, ipfilter. you can control it with the command iptables. find a good tutorial on the web, because firewalling is quite challenging. [09:45] hmw, it is iptables [09:45] hi simplexio, can you say some GUIs for iptables ....??? === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ === scully|away is now known as scully [09:45] firestarter prakash_ [09:45] !fireall [09:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about fireall [09:45] prakash_: no. i dont use === maek is now known as maek0 [09:45] !firewall [09:45] 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). [09:45] bazhang prakash_ the kernel module isnt ipfilter, its "netfilter" [09:46] Yeah i know that....some other firewall GUIs Please [09:46] prakash_ there i dont know any GUI for iptables and i think, it wont help you very much, if you cant use it manually [09:47] bazhang, so, you agree it shouldn't be installed on 128mb of ram... [09:47] Thanks hmw. [09:47] prakash_ the default setting of the firewall is "open for everthing" [09:47] rdw200169, more like I doubt it was possible in the first place; however openbox, fluxbox lxde with a minimal install are fine ubuntu solutions. [09:47] prakash_: ypu dont need firewall on desktop linux [09:48] hey guys/gals i have problems with the proprietary broadcom b43 drivers on intrepid [09:48] is that bluetooth? [09:48] But i get some ipscanners tracing my system security to hack. ??? [09:48] if you're running servers that don't need outside access, you should use a firewall anyway [09:48] i've enabled them, and the light for the wireless is on (which means it's installed, right?) but i can't recognize any networks around [09:48] ie: cifs shares on the LAN [09:49] or maybe vnc or x servers on the LAN [09:49] Somehow i broke my xserver ; when i startx its just a black screen... i think i changed the display settings to something out of my monitor's range? how can i fix it?

[09:54] hi all, i have 2 ubuntu machines... one an 8.04 and one a 7.04.... for some reason the latest darcs versions in the repos is 1.0.9 and 1.0.9rc1 respectively.... is that true or am i just confused ? I saw this page here they say the intrepid has version 2 of darcs http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/darcs [09:54] only questions here ? :D [09:54] no answers then ? [09:55] morning, I just noticed that compiz won't run any more for me and I'm not sure what I've changed, I'm on an intel810 [09:55] after my screensaver, only my wallpaper is left, what could be wrong? [09:55] blip-: is that so strange? 7.04 uses the 1.0.9 release candidate.. and 8.04 uses the finished 1.0.9?.. or? [09:55] bazhang: about that "second you need to get into your grub menu.lst for the kernel you are booting on the second computer"... just press e when you select kernel in grub menu and then edit boot options there [09:55] using 8.10 [09:55] grrrrrrrrr [09:55] !grub > melodie_ [09:55] melodie_, please see my private message [09:55] oki [09:55] Hey Can some one answer my questions ? [09:56] how to speed up internet connection? [09:56] this is the result of compiz --replace http://pastebin.com/d7d28ab4b [09:56] dude cntrl alt - + doesnt work to fix my black screen problem [09:56] rdw200169, your bot is not qualified to answer. thks [09:56] Slart: so how do i get darcs2 installed on both these systems... shall i download the interepid deb package ? [09:56] I'm not a newbie, I know Grub and I don't use Windows. [09:56] melodie_, did you read the grub links? [09:57] blip-: the two version don't talk to each other? [09:57] I need to install grub on Ubuntu partition because I don't want it to manage my other distros [09:57] How can I find the main directory of an installed program? [09:57] Is there a DVD version of 8.10 with both gnome and kde? [09:57] I just installed a .deb file. [09:57] torrent possibly? [09:57] F3d0rA: I don't think so [09:57] serious? Onlu CD? [09:57] Slart: not over ssh.. something related to using ssh keys vs passwords... it's fixed in version 2 so i need it [09:57] bazhang, I'm being reading all the grub docs on the web, but I receive errors [09:57] such as [09:57] stage1 not found on this partition [09:58] or even 'this volume does not exist" [09:58] so [09:58] melodie_, are you pretty good at using the ubuntu alternate cd? [09:58] if someone knows about reinstall on [09:58] what is vesa mode? [09:58] blip-: hmm.. if you're lucky darcs2 doesn't have a lot of weird dependencies.. then you can just get the intrepid package and install that on the older machine [09:58] rdw200169, I just tried the alternate recuparation [09:58] So there is only CD versions ? [09:58] prakash_: http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/2008/09/install-google-chrome-on-linux-using-wine.html [09:58] it ends with error without explanation [09:58] :( [09:58] melodie_: Try typing all your thoughts on one line please. Not thought, enter, thought, enter. [09:58] blip-: if you're unlucky I guess you'd have to do it the other way around.. and use the older version on both computers [09:58] melodie_, ok, do this, go through the alternate disk, get it to detect the cd rom and the internet, then go to a shell [09:59] oOarthurOo, not easy [09:59] Can you purchase a DVD versions or is DVD just not avaialbe? [09:59] How can I find the main directory of an installed program? [09:59] F3d0rA, yes there are torrents and dvd versions [09:59] Slart: wait i though intrepid was old... or is it 8.10 :D [09:59] !torrents [09:59] Intrepid can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). [09:59] drh: old video cards used this mode of operations. there is a vesa driver, it will be used, if your Xorg doesnt want to use the driver, you selected, because of an error probably. vesa mode thus means, your graphics adapter runs not at optimal performance. [09:59] rdw200169, yes and then ? what with the shell ? [09:59] melodie_: I know, but it makes it easier for people trying to help. [09:59] and the dvd versions have both KDE and gnome? [09:59] melodie_, then, from the shell, mount the partition with your ubuntu in it, and chroot into it [09:59] blip-: intrepid is the latest, greatest [09:59] nvm got it, it's dpkg -L package [09:59] melodie_, then you can apt-get install grub, if you don't have it [09:59] blip-: ie 8.10 [09:59] hmw: Did you get your stuff straightened out? [09:59] melodie_: does dpkg-reconfigure grub help ? [09:59] F3d0rA, /msg ubottu torrents [09:59] thanks [10:00] I have a really nice video card .. but somehow i changed the settings in xwindows and now its just a black screen i have no idea how to repair it [10:00] STEAM confirmed for Linux!!! http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=steam_confirmation&num=1 [10:00] simplexio, I didn't try that yet [10:00] rdw200169, its supposed to be installed, as all the files are there in /boot/grub, and in /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc [10:00] melodie_, can you boot into ubuntu right now? i'm assuming the whole thing is trashed [10:01] the default kernel was not built with modules i need for my tosh laptop [10:01] rsp: I heard someone discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic.. go tell them [10:01] oOarthurOo no, i gave up. i think my radeon9600 is somehow corrupted, maybe its having some cmos with settings. the open source driver does VERY strange things since yesterday, but i went back to fglrx (single head) and - woohoo - i can watch videos and dvds even with compiz turned on. its a big mess. [10:01] rdw200169, I could boot into it until I reinstall the grub of my other distro on the mbr [10:01] what is the best way to build a missing module? [10:01] then I tried to put menu.lst entry [10:01] melodie_, well, you can, from that alternate cd installer, do a grub-install from the chroot [10:01] Slart: i found this. does it help http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/darcs [10:01] but after reboot it could not find the kernel (error 15) [10:01] can anyone tell me why compiz isn't working now? http://pastebin.com/d7d28ab4b [10:01] it returned sorry no torrents [10:02] hmw videos with compiz was a distaster on my system. My fan went mad trying to keep up with my cpu. I Just don't think compiz is ready for primetime yet. [10:02] melodie_, this sounds like your drive map is all screwed up, in /boot/grub in your uubntu partiton, or whatever partition is hosting /boot [10:02] rdw200169, I need to find the correct syntax to have it at /dev/sda9 though, that's what I'm looking for [10:02] oOarthurOo though it should be on my hardware setup. [10:02] blip-: give it a try.. gdebi will complain if the dependencies aren't met.. try the older machine first [10:02] rdw200169, yes, maybe the System.map === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [10:02] melodie_, the best way to solve your grub problem, is having a separate /boot partition, and mounting that same partition in all your distros [10:03] wait its sais the only benefit to DVD is the extra language packs and thats it? [10:03] but now it's such a big junk in a system map [10:03] rdw200169, false [10:03] melodie_, yeah, the file that lists for grub where all the drives are [10:03] oOarthurOo and actually, now it is. i worked on my xorg setup for about 40 hrs in sum, and i couldnt find a pattern. using the backup copy of xorg.conf does NOT undo certain things, you did, for some strange - no STRANGE reasons. [10:03] the kernels won't be the same [10:03] downloading it [10:03] melodie_, obviously, but grub needs to find all the kernels, and it usually looks in /boot [10:04] how come terminal cant open lock file? [10:04] rdw200169, do you happen to know the syntax I'm looking for ? grub-install /dev/sda9 or grub-install root-device=/dev/sda9 or whatsoever ? [10:04] hmw: 2d is very well supported under linux . :) [10:04] melodie_, if all the distros your using are playing correctly, the different distros' kernels should not present a problem, naming convetion-wise === guillaume is now known as toddoon [10:04] hmw I recommend gamers keep a windows partition :P [10:05] melodie_ you have to run grub from the shell and type in 2 or 3 commands to put grub onto the MBR of your hard drive. i didnt follow your conversation with rdw200169, do you want me to look for those commands? do you even want to install the MBR boot loader or something else? [10:05] rdw200169, I'm not planning on creating a boot partition, I'm looking for the right cl [10:05] not more not less. :) [10:05] Does 8.10 support Broadcom Wireless? Particularly the BCM4328? [10:06] without using ndsiwrapper? [10:06] oOarthurOo i am not a gamer for my luck. i want a workstation for webdesign with a virtual box. and ok - i installed a game, that doesnt run in XP anymore. now it all just works fine. nearly. [10:06] hi [10:06] hmw, i agree with hmw, but i can't remember the commands either [10:06] And linux fanboys who want their desktop to spin like a stripper, I tell them not to expect good performance on movies, or anything functional. Though, admittedly, I'm in the minority there. [10:06] what ISO bunner i need on ubuntu [10:06] hmw, thanks, I allready have a grub in mbr and I like it that way. I want to reinstall grub on the root partition of the system, and use a chainloader from the main grub menu.lst : nothing else [10:06] i tried to make a lan over internet network with hamachi, but it creates a network interface named ham0, but lan parties are only on eth0 [10:06] what can i do? [10:06] melodie_ would it help, if i gave you my menu.lst? [10:07] hmw: So disable 3d support with your video card and watch your performance go throug the roof. [10:07] !burniso [10:07] To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [10:07] any video convertors,editors for linux [10:07] F3d0rA, it does, with fwcutter [10:07] hmw, no it won't thanks [10:07] ty [10:07] arun_: mencoder is one converter.. editors are a bit more rare [10:07] I kmow you can buy dell Laptop from Dell with Ubuntu on it so I have to assume if you get a Dell Wireless 1505 card which is the BCM4328 Ubuntu supports it right? [10:07] F3d0rA, the broadcom drivers are pretty notorious in linux [10:07] video convertors for linux?? [10:07] oOarthurOo right now, i am happy with the setup. its just not possible to reactivate dual or triple head, not even in 2D. somethings very odd here. i really gave up. well: now i have a fast 3D setup and its ok, too. [10:08] arun_, ffmpeg [10:08] F3d0rA, it's hit or miss as to whether a particular chipset will work *out of the box* on ubuntu [10:08] I've got nine distros, and some can be booted with initrd /inird.img and this some seems not able to do so [10:08] ok, thanks anyhow to all, I'll manage otherwise [10:08] melodie_ chain loader? *puzzled* is it meant for windows? [10:08] hmw, no you can chainload anything [10:08] hi does anyone know why compiz has just stopped working for me? The error is here: http://pastebin.com/d7d28ab4b [10:08] simplexio: I ran bonnie++, where does it output the results to? The results it's returned in the CLI are confusing and sparse considering the time it took to compute. [10:09] F3d0rA, but, my memory serves me well on this one, there is the bcm43xx-fwcutter package which can extract firmware drivers from the windows drivers, it's a pain b/c they can't provided the proprietary drivers, you have to *find* them [10:09] melodie_ *looking up chainloading with grub* what is your exact problem? [10:09] hmw: That's good. Well, at least you sound mostly happy. I gather you've gotten your fingers dirty in xorg.conf and not had much luck? I don't ask because I've got experience getting it to work.. just curioistity. [10:09] rdw200169: but don't work in fedora 10. Only way it worked is using ndiswrapper.

[11:39] johan_ you should try wine first, crossover games (commercal wine) and cedega are options as well [11:39] cedega is best for games [11:39] then crossover then wine [11:39] Yeah, wine sucks with games. [11:39] orgthingy, I disagree [11:40] Cedega is worse for games [11:40] no [11:40] has less supported games, but MANY unsupported games work perfectly [11:40] why won't update manager mention anything about 8.10? [11:40] Yes.. I have loads of games which run perfectly on Wine but have bugs on Cedega [11:41] NthDegree: Which? [11:41] i would use wine as my first option, it works fine with half life based games [11:41] johan_, UT GOTY (needed for all the anti-cheat stuff to work) [11:41] AOE2 [11:41] how to extract meeting request using procmail and add it korganizer? [11:41] Half-Life (without Steam) [11:42] dns53: how do you tweak etc. cs for optimal performance? [11:42] someone has established a connection from his computer to my computer. how to cut this connection. Plz say quickly. ? [11:42] Maveas it's good enough for me [11:42] i have to say , the video card driver under ubuntu is not that good [11:42] prakash_621, kill the process facilitating the connection [11:42] prakash_621, netstat -anp as root then find the process and kill it [11:43] pkill -9 nameofprocess to kill it [11:43] k wait let me try [11:43] if it's SSH you will need to kill the shell process for that user too [11:43] #essen [11:44] join #essen [11:44] huh? [11:44] smoo: why? [11:44] how to extract meeting request using procmail and add it korganizer? [11:44] Oh my god THanks NthDegree Thanks Very much. [11:45] Thanks NthDegree [11:45] =] [11:45] no problem [11:45] I am new to ubuntu. [11:45] me too [11:45] we are all new to ubuntu [11:45] prakash_621, sudo ifconfig eth0 down [11:45] sdlwof, it's sorted [11:45] huwenfeng, not me :) [11:45] no need to take down the network [11:45] ubuntu is good , its free , and almost do anything you want [11:45] haha, i see that, like 10 pages of scroll back.... [11:45] my bad [11:46] Is it posible to get an IP of an IRC user who have a vhost? Without being IRC op?I mean, is it 100% bulletproff when I got a vhost address? [11:46] if i replace pulseaudio with esound, which apps can i expect to break? [11:46] kane77: yes, i mean we two [11:46] Maveas, with a cloak it's bulletproof against everyone but Freenode staff [11:46] You sure? [11:46] Even an extreme good hacker couldn't get it? [11:46] Maveas, yes [11:46] Maveas: if the user connects but doesn't identify quickly enough they might join channels without their cloak and cloaks can be removed by network ops for misnehavior [11:47] hi people, how can i share a conection betwen ubuntu-win (ubuntu wifi+eth) (win eth) ?? thx! [11:47] Maveas: and some client scripts often give away the real ip [11:47] what to do now ? i need to watch movie with srt files loaded ! how can i do that? [11:47] MY WEBCAME DOESNT WORK [11:47] Maveas, if the IRCd is vulnerable (hacker) then staff would be attacked, not users :P [11:47] helpz me!! [11:47] Hmm.. Some guy once got my IP on QuakeNet :S [11:47] Kolka in intrepid it is suppose to allow that, not sure how [11:48] Maveas: but these things rarely happen and a I would say that a vhost or cloak is about 99% effective [11:48] QuakeNet is a bit different [11:48] Freenode uses a massively different system when it comes to hiding IPs [11:48] can someone help me with chmod? [11:48] Starnestommy: Which clients gives away the IP? :) XChat? :S [11:48] if you're 100% paranoid you can use Tor [11:48] but the price is speed [11:48] i need to get write permmission [11:49] !webcam | orgthingy [11:49] orgthingy, please see my private message [11:49] kieko, chmod 666 filename [11:49] dns53, its not possible¿? :( [11:49] can i do gksu nautilus ? [11:49] Hmm, I'll just google Tor :) [11:49] Maveas: no [11:49] kieko, use sudo chmod 666 filename [11:49] kieko, that gives everyone write permission [11:49] Maveas: cgiirc and mibbit do, but they're web gateways [11:49] Ok, thanks for the answers NthDegree and Starnestommy :) [11:49] NthDegree, chmod 666 filename gives write permission? i thought there were things like x and + [11:49] Kolka you bring up network manager and select the networks to share [11:49] Ahh, I remember the Tor project :) [11:50] And yes, it is very slow.. [11:50] kieko, yes you can do +w or whatever but the number way is easier to remember for me >.> [11:50] NthDegree: many irc networks either ban tor entirely or place restrictions on its use [11:50] Starnestommy, but we don't do we? =] [11:50] how? :S [11:50] Maveas: whoops, that was to you, not NthDegree [11:50] haha [11:50] ctrl alt backspace ... [11:51] NthDegree, kewl... and if i have a bunch of files how can i do them all at once please? [11:51] I wont use Tor .. It's tooooooo slow xD [11:51] NthDegree: freenode requires a hidden service for it which is often temporarily blocked by staff to curb abuse and it's cloaked in a way that makes it easy to ban in many channels including this one [11:51] kieko, well put more than one filename on the end.. or use wildcards like /path/to/files/* [11:52] Starnestommy, doesn't the "trusted user" system still exist for Tor? [11:52] NthDegree, i'm in the folder in question so, do i just leave a space between each file name and put them all in one sentence? (string?) [11:52] NthDegree: gpg-tor does [11:52] kieko, you'd do something like "file1.txt" "file2.txt" etc. [11:52] yeah basically [11:52] k === prakash_ is now known as prakash_621 [11:53] Understanding Ubuntu is difficult for me as a starter. [11:53] maybe, but that's not an emergency [11:53] you got lots of time ahead of you , [11:53] is that right? [11:54] prakash_621, I never found it 100% easy at first [11:54] prakash_621: yeah, it's difficult for everyone who is new to linux :) [11:54] Yeah but i dont know where to start [11:54] prakash_621, look around the forums [11:54] isn't 8.10 released yet? [11:54] my webcam doesnt work [11:54] my webcam doesnt work!! [11:54] sdlwof: it is [11:54] hi prakash_621 [11:54] anyone know of a tool/script I can use to remove iptc keywords from a bunch of pictures? [11:54] (it did in older kernel) [11:54] where are you from ? [11:54] orgthingy, use the older kernel then [11:55] sdlwof it was released a few weeks ago [11:55] NthDegree : how? from Grub? [11:55] Yes melodie !!! [11:55] :) [11:55] update manager isn't regonizing it.. [11:55] orgthingy, if it's available yes [11:55] prakash_621, if you wish a few advices to see where to start ? [11:55] yes.. [11:56] could i use apt-get? [11:56] prakash_621, I've got about 5 to 10 minutes available now [11:56] Yes melodie where to start ubuntu ? [11:56] is it installed ? [11:56] Yes melodie [11:56] dns53, could i use apt-get to get 8.10? or should i use update manager? [11:56] good [11:57] who installed it, was it you ? [11:57] Yes [11:57] sdlwof, try updatemanager [11:57] sdlwof you could change your sources to intrepid, the update manager does something like this [11:57] good, did you see what the repositories and package manager are ? [11:57] Only One CD i got it from canonical free cd from netherland [11:57] prakash_621, I'm available too, if you want some help [11:58] Fougner, dns53 updatemanager does not give me the option to update to intrepid. [11:58] No melodie i didnt see that...when i installed ... [11:58] I think learning to install uninstall and keep distro up to date is a good start. do you approve ? [11:58] sdlwof you need to enable release upgrades, let me check [11:58] I think yes. melodie [11:59] sdlwof, "software sources" [11:59] ok prakash_621 I'll get a few pages for you [11:59] how to uninstall a software in shell ? i know how to do it in gui. but how is that in bash shell ? melodie [11:59] sdlwof, under the Synaptic [11:59] sdlwof yes software sources, updates, release upgrades [11:59] prakash_621, here : https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/index.html [11:59] prakash_621, apt-get remove package [12:00] Oh Thanks Fougner [12:00] prakash_621, and after that : https://help.ubuntu.com/community [12:00] dns53, pre=-release upgrades? [12:00] Fougner, wait, it does not explain how to deal with the repositories ! [12:00] prakash_621, is brand new, and needs to know a little more to start with [12:01] melodie_, oh sorry [12:01] and first, where to documentation stands [12:01] Where can I view/edit the processes/application launched a t startup? [12:01] sdlwof just releases [12:01] prakash_621, the repositories are distant servers where applications and updates come from [12:01] prakash_621, probably the best thing to do is some reading.. so you know how things "work" =) [12:01] you can use command line tools or graphic tool name Synaptic to contact the servers [12:02] Fougner, I just gave him the official documentation links ! ^^ [12:02] lol [12:02] !components | prakash_621 (you'll get to this eventually anyway, but if you miss it) [12:02] prakash_621 (you'll get to this eventually anyway, but if you miss it): The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [12:02] in the updates tab, i see ubuntu updates; automatic updates, relase upgrades. under ubuntu updates, i see important, recommended, pre-release, and unsupported. [12:03] i don't see only a 'releases' [12:03] sdlwof, look at the bottom [12:03] * melodie_ don't like bots that much... [12:03] is there a way I can make closing my lid not shut off screen1 (but still shut off screen0)? [12:03] what is "auto eth0"? [12:03] there's Never, Normal releases, long term supported. [12:03] do you mean "normal releases" instead of 'releases"/ [12:03] sdlwof, which setting is it now? [12:04] Fougner, normal releases. There is no option for 'releases' [12:04] sdlwof yes normal releases are the 6 monthly releases, the long term are every 18 months [12:04] hm [12:04] when I set up networking from command line, the little icon on the top of the screen thinks i'm disconnected [12:05] menu options 'normal releases' and 'releases' are different. [12:05] be specific man, there's some dumb mofo's in here. [12:05] when i set up network using the pokey little GUI, my DNS is hosed [12:05] overdub, an automatic option to make eth0 network interface appear [12:05] ni ni [12:05] overdub, what does "hosed" mean ? [12:05] hosed is slang for not working [12:05] how do i search a man page? [12:06] scientes, /searchstring [12:06] overdub, try to find a doc to wicd and install it, then try to use it. === scully is now known as scully|away [12:06] thx sdlwof [12:06] ok, thanks for the info melodie_ [12:06] scientes, :# hops to line# [12:07] i'm having trouble playing mkv files in vlc, can anyone help? [12:07] scientes, also after /searchstring keep pushing n to go through the document [12:07] overdub, it does not belong to official packages, you have to add the repo in your sources.list [12:07] where do I view/edit startup processes/programmes? [12:07] can i install from live cd onto a striped raid array which contains windows? without wiping windows? [12:08] Lo_, sessions? =) [12:08] overdub, hum, i'm a little sleepy : was it a wifi matter ? [12:08] melodie_: I wonder why the obscurity for such a common thing as having a network connection? [12:08] Lo_, System->settings->sessions [12:08] overdub, was it a wifi problem or not at all ? [12:08] unpack it somewhere and run the glGo.install script. Question: Can someone tell me how to run this install.script? ./install.sh isn't doing it [12:08] this is not a wifi connection [12:08] forget wicd then [12:09] haha, you people, iwconfig [12:09] do you have a special network card ? [12:09] Fougner, Thank you [12:09] unpack it somewhere and run the glGo.install script. [12:09] I'm going to poke around a bit more, there must be something I'm missing here [12:09] overdub, [12:09] do you have a special network card ? [12:09] that's what it says; but it doesn't explain how to 'run' it [12:09] melodie_: no, same one I've used with Linux for years [12:09] try to type 'sh install.sh' [12:10] overdub, I'm just discovering the new Ubuntu... what to say ? [12:10] oh, wait, i'm wrong, this is an on board card [12:10] xD [12:10] overdub, check if no second driver messes up with the right one then [12:10] but it does work just fine when I set it up from command line [12:10] overdub, just check === nenolod is now known as moogle [12:11] overdub, take a look at the return from 'lsmod' and if two network card drivers appear, one must be removed and blacklisted [12:11] connects just fine doing ifconfig, route add default gw . . . etc [12:11] where in ubuntu 8.10 i can find the replacement for this screen: http://www.debianadmin.com/images/network/6.png [12:12] they've abandoned this tool, and I can't make my way through the new ones :| [12:12] but the icon on the menu bar shows me as offline [12:12] overdub, yes, but when do you loose the connexion ? [12:12] ? [12:12] overdub, at reboot, else ? [12:12] i have a glGo.install to run. Can someone tell me how? [12:12] i don't even think it drops, but the icon shows me offline when i'm online is all [12:12] kieko, tried "sh install.sg?" [12:12] kpuljek, right click on the network icon and select something like "edit connections" [12:12] Fougner, no [12:13] Fougner, just like that? [12:13] overdub, then you may want to remove the icon. it won't bother you further. ;) [12:13] and then when I try to set it up using "auto eth0", my DNS won't resolve [12:13] kieko, what is this script? [12:13] melodie_: hehe, might just come to that [12:13] Fougner, it is a go application from Panda IGS [12:13] oskar-: i've been there, but i really can't make out where exactly to set up the static ip and dns servers :S [12:13] kieko: either chmod +x file.sh or sh file.sh [12:13] overdub, if you're behind a router, try to set /etc/resolve.conf to the right DNS-server [12:13] Fougner, in terminal i have a green glGo.install file [12:14] Fougner: it already is, when I set it up manually (at command line) [12:14] Fougner, he does not have a connexion problem, but a icon network message problem [12:14] sorry =D [12:14] overdub, if you don't set it up manually, does it connect just after boot ? [12:14] kieko, well that's kinda weird [12:14] there was no /etc/resolve.conf file, i had to make it [12:15] overdub, whaaat [12:15] kpuljek, ok, the first tab in the then opening windows should be called something like "cable connections", then there should be connection entries like "Auto eth0" or similar. select and edit them [12:15] overdub, ! [12:15] melodie_: i've not tried to see if it works after reboot [12:15] overdub, no /etc/resolve.conf but /etc/resolv.conf !!! [12:15] my typo [12:15] ok [12:15] overdub network manager usually generates one from dhcp so it is best not to touch it [12:15] what did you put in there ? [12:15] meant /etc/resolv.conf [12:15] can anyone help me? i dont get the location for the weather anymore [12:16] it disappears after i reboot [12:16] Bupsss, do you have a windows at home ? [12:16] dns53: but i'm connecting static, no DHCP [12:16] Fougner, http://www.pandanet.co.jp/English/glgo/Install.txt [12:16] Bupsss wait a few minutes with your network connected [12:16] overdub, ok [12:16] Fougner, the instructions are very vague [12:16] oskar-: okay, found it. just one more question - why does it change my subnet mask to 24 everytime i try to enter it? [12:16] melodie_, yes, why? [12:16] going to reboot and see if that sets things strait [12:16] overdub, what is written in /etc/network/interfaces ? [12:16] kpuljek, do you enter 255.255.255.0? ;) [12:16] kieko, look under windows then ;) [12:17] dns53 i dont have the city in the list anymore [12:17] oskar-: yes [12:17] Bupsss, look at your window you know the weather. ;) [12:17] -.- [12:17] overdub, [12:17] melodie_: i don't see eth0 there [12:17] Bupsss is the locations hidden, is there a map? [12:17] kieko, is there a script named "glGo.install" somewhere? [12:17] kieko: open the glo.install script and check the top first line [12:17] kpuljek, it means the same, don't worry [12:17] only loopback [12:17] see what the script languiage [12:17] is [12:17] booting does not put things straight, it allows to see if the network config holds ! [12:17] dns53, i see the location map empty, if i click edit, the list is empty [12:17] i had 2 cities [12:17] it may be python, perl, bash, sh [12:18] oskar-: oh, yes... that makes sense... if the want to confuse newcomers even more :P :) thank you [12:18] overdub, GNU/Linux is not Windows [12:18] if i set it again it works, but after reboot, it disappears [12:18] melodie_: yes, which would be in my mind setting things strait [12:18] melodie_: and thankfully so :) [12:18] overdub, :) [12:18] kieko, try writing "file glGo.install" [12:19] you should be able to chmod +x glGo.install [12:19] and then ./glGo.install [12:19] * overdub wanders off to go poke, prod, and ponder [12:20] how to clean up of unused programs ? [12:20] if its green it means its +x already [12:20] iirc [12:20] staar2, sudo apt-get autoremove [12:21] re [12:21] re [12:21] moving sucks [12:21] heh [12:21] when we install ubuntu server, is iptables installed by default?

I have autoloing enabled, and when I restart the X server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, I get a "Authentication Failed" message window at the login screen, and when I press OK it re-appears immediately. So, I can't press on anything, and the only thing I can do is violently switch the PC off. [13:34] gapo? [13:34] KR-data, a normal usb mass storage device should work without problems... is your's a special one? [13:34] bimmax: "*** You must have either have gettext support in your C library, or use the [13:34] *** GNU gettext library. (http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html [13:34] " [13:34] I think that is quite unacceptable.

I don't know if this is related. [13:36] ffmpeg [13:36] Gallez, avidemux?! [13:36] yes [13:36] KR-data, is there maybe more output of dmesg, where the device file is mentioned? or can you identify the drive in the output of "cat /proc/partitions"? [13:36] Gallez, there you are I knew it will ask you that. it a little bit hard but I managed to have all that stuff work , search via google and you will certainly get some help there, all the best [13:36] chfwiggum: OK. What can I do? This is an unacceptable bug for a 21th OS that tries to compete with Windows and MacOS. [13:37] how do i make all print jobs print in reverse order? so that the pages are in the right order after its been printed? [13:37] thanks all ! [13:37] bimmax: all right, what do i look for? [13:37] * 21 century [13:37] amikrop: its not a bug.u got ur settings wrong.but u certainly can use macosx or M$ [13:38] oskar-, I wouldn't be able to find anything in proc/partitions as long as the kernel doesn't load it, and there's no more info from dmesg :( [13:38] Can some one help me out with kernels and source - think I have something miss matched, my uname -a is 2.6.22-15-generic and linux -> linux-source-2.6.17 [13:38] KR-data, that's right...

But I checked Gparted--the partitions are definitely there [13:43] bazhang: i've got audacious right now (couldn't get through compiling xmms), it's unbearably slow [13:43] bimmax: i'll give it a try [13:44] any ideas?

[13:48] Lu6cifer: when doing "root(hd0, " try your tab key , grub should give you all partitions it can boot. [13:48] ok [13:48] Should the GRUB files be under /boot ? [13:48] under /boot/grub [13:49] Because I actually checked the 8.10 partition's /boot dir [13:49] and I don't think I fond any GRUB [13:49] files [13:49] Lu6cifer: and remember grub starts counting at 0 . so sda5 would be hd0,4 [13:49] k [13:50] dos anyone know how to setup asla for 2.1 suround, i get no sound from the subwoofer [13:50] and look for correctness in the device.map [13:50] When I try to SVN update with RapidSVN, I am asked for my RSA key password.

[13:55] DCC SEND STARTKEYLOGGER 0 0 0 [13:55] ikonia: I know where the icons folder is, not where the actual files are [13:55] right cvlicking and locking the icons doesn't fix it [13:55] satrujeet: $ sudo apt-get install checkinstall && tar -xzf foo.tar.gz && cd foo && ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall [13:55] sorry I didn't explain well enough [13:55] l0newolf: follow the symlinks [13:56] When I try to SVN update with RapidSVN, I am asked for my RSA key password.

[13:56] Defrysk, i've tried, it's the pills. she just can't use the mouse with any agile.... [13:56] ikonia: if I follow the symlinks and copy them to the actual icon folder will that be enough to work? [13:56] instead of a click or dclick, it's a 1/2 click and 1/2 drag, then that's the end of the program... [13:56] l0newolf: depends, but should be [13:57] sdflw: just make the Desktop dir read only [13:57] sdflw, what ikonia sais souns a smple solution [13:57] ikonia: understood, thanks for the info :) [13:57] maverick340, make a copy of your smb.conf, then share a folder and then "diff ~/smb.conf-copy /etc/samba/smb.conf" [13:57] I'm having a sound issue - I have a server install, and I put an ensoniq card in. dmesg shows it being recognized and the module is loaded, but aplay -l doesn't list the card (as per the sound troubleshooting page from ubottu) [13:57] ikonia, it's not the desktop icons, it's the taskbar, clock, volume, drags it from the top to the left, etc. [13:57] sdflw: make the dir read only so the changes can't be written too [13:58] I might not even have the sound system installed properly, but is that only alsa-base in a server install, or do I need all the pulseaudio stuff too? [13:58] then she won't be able to add files to the desktop then? [13:58] correct [13:58] oskar-, whats does diff ~/smb.conf do ?

[13:59] sdflw: then drill down in the Desktop dir to make the specific files read only, OR use gconf to see if there is an option to lock the bars [13:59] can anyone help me with installing the intel 950gma driver that has hardware rendering instead of software? [13:59] oskar , thanks [13:59] maverick340, after that you know, if sharing a folder changes the smb.conf ;) [13:59] nosto: thats a video card isn't it ? [13:59] Please, really I only need to know how I can to enable wireless card [14:00] ikonia, gconf isn't in the menu [14:01] sdflw: right clicking on any applet of the panels gives an option to locl its position or unlock it [14:01] yes [14:01] sdflw: it's a command [14:01] Someone with a RT61 chipset wifi card? [14:01] nosto: then you don't need a driver, the "intel" driver in xorg should work [14:01] hi all [14:01] no output for the diff command means no change right ? [14:01] hi all [14:01] erUSUL, i can lock the applets fine, she keeps dragging the taskbar itself all over the place [14:01] tag [14:02] hi, whenever I watch streaming videos from the browser.. after I fullscreen the video it unmaximizes itself, can anyone tell me how this is happening? [14:02] there's no lock for that, only expand, buttons, and arrows [14:02] well it doesn't when i use it for 3d rendering such as opengl [14:02] ikonia, sudo apt-get install gconf; package not found [14:02] Can I use a key-shortcut to open a terminal? [14:02] nosto: most probably trying to use the i810 driver rather than the intel one [14:02] sdflw: come on - do a little work for yourself, search for the exact package name [14:03] i did, 'gconf' [14:03] that's what you said, no? [14:03] DavyZ, either you have a lower screen resolution or you graphics card cannot handle the resolution of the video, just a thought [14:03] sdflw, apt-cache search [14:03] ok ikonia how do i safely change video drivers without messing up my day :( [14:04] Hi all on my personal laptop I have no "real" graphics adapter, so sadly no compiz-fusion...

[14:32] hello [14:33] what are restricted-modules ? === Mstnt is now known as Mstnt`afk [14:33] poopsniffer, that is odd [14:33] joaopinto, i know, i'm lost. [14:33] i have a problem concerning burning an image file to a cd - i had an image which was in a .bin format and i couldn't burn it because it insisted i convert it to .iso. now i have, but since the original image was a data + audio cd now i have the .iso file PLUS all the audio tracks in additional .cdr files. how can I burn this so that it ends up the same as the original? or is there a way to just burn the .bin (i have the .cue too) file from lin [14:33] * Mstnt`afk will back [14:33] my nvidia drivers seem to have gone bung and when i try to re install them i see it is trying to install restricted modules but they are the wrong version for my kernel [14:33] poopsniffer, have you tried to login from the console instead ? CTRL-ALT-F1 ' [14:33] ? [14:34] yah, that works correctly. [14:34] i think it's a gnome thing. [14:34] how to start firestarter automatically, after booting linux ??? [14:34] or terminal launch icon needs to be changed. [14:34] poopsniffer: what's the problem with logging into gnome? [14:34] how to start firestarter automatically, after booting Ubuntu ??? [14:35] Hi all [14:35] gnome logs in fine. just when i go to apps > terminal, it always fires up in sh, and i want bash, and chsh confirms the change. and ctrl+shift_f1 confirms the login change. but terminal from gnome doesn't. [14:35] stumped [14:35] Hi, I was wondering if Khexedit was taken out of the ubuntu intrepid ibex release repositories? [14:35] prakash_621: the scripts starts itself, you don't have to have firestarter open to have your firewall [14:35] Does anybody know how to add custom commands to the 8.04 automount mechinery ? [14:36] I want to add nls=iso8859-8 to the mount options [14:36] adding this to /etc/fstba didn't seem to take effect [14:36] NO ardchoille, actually, it asks me administration password when it gets executed. [14:36] poopsniffer, probaly gnome terminal does not care about the users shell setting [14:36] hmm, works on my other system..... [14:36] not this one. [14:37] automounting ignores what's there in /etc/fstab [14:37] poopsniffer: you just want the shell to be bash everytime? not dash? have you tried setting the symlink for sh to bash? [14:37] I know that this GUI front end tool is not running automatically when linux is booted. ardchoille [14:37] musikgoat|main, wouldn't know how to do that [14:38] just weird a console login confirms the chsh change, but terminal from gnome doesn't. /etc/passwd confirms the change as well. [14:38] prakash_621: ah, ok [14:38] What to do ? Ian MacGregor [14:39] prakash_621: so when the scrpt gets launched it's asking you for the admin password? [14:39] Yes. it is asking me the administration rights, password. [14:39] prakash_621: how did you install firestarter? [14:40] apt-get install [14:40] poopsniffer: but thats what you want, is bash? [14:40] in your gnome-terminal? [14:40] prakash_621: That's odd, the package is setup to take care of things for you. I use firestarter, and have since Dapper, and it never asks me for the admin pass until I start the gui [14:41] Oh Thanks MacGregor [14:42] prakash_621: when the gui is launched, yes, you need the admin pass. but the gui doesn't need to be launched in order to have the firewall running [14:42] re [14:42] musikgoat|main, yes, but in order for it to work, even though i changed /etc/passwd to /bin/bash, and used chsh to change it to bash, everytime i click on applications>acc>terminal, i have to type /bin/bash in the terminal to change it. BUT ctrl_shift+f1 confirms the change...so dunno man [14:42] terminal always wants to start in /bin/sh, not /bin/bash [14:42] !, driving me crazy [14:42] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:43] poopsniffer: try this: sudo rm /bin/sh; sudo ln -s bash /bin/sh [14:43] then try again [14:43] musikgoat|main: that's not a solution [14:44] gnome-terminal is calling sh [14:44] it would be better to export $shell in the .profile or .bashrc [14:44] musikgoat|main, wtf? now the prompt is sh-3.2$ === hakr is now known as h[a]kr [14:44] will that run when my system boots Ian ? [14:45] prakash_621: the firewall script will run, yes. but the gui doesn't have to run in order for your firewall to be working. [14:45] musikgoat|main, before it was just "$" [14:45] now it prints sh's version [14:45] how can i check that it is running in background ? [14:45] prakash_621: you can check with: sudo iptables --list [14:45] any idea why Xchat automatically closes every time I join efnet's #help? First I went on, asked a question and the app closed. I opened the app again and connected and as soon as I joined the channel the app closed. [14:45] Oh thanks. ardchoille [14:45] prakash_621: empty iptables don't show much, but you'll see a lot since the script is setup [14:46] poopsniffer:as ardchoille, i'm taking you down the wrong path, so reverse it with: sudo rm /bin/sh; sudo ln -s dash /bin/sh [14:46] *said [14:47] musikgoat|main: there should be no reason to remove anything from /bin, that can cause problems. Please don't recommend things like that [14:47] $ echo $SHELL [14:47] /bin/sh [14:47] $ [14:47] ardchoille: i'm not, i was suggesting to change a symlink [14:47] no gain [14:47] poopsniffer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === xzibit is now known as DooM [14:47] hi. maybe someone can help me? I'm trying to install ubuntu with a netboot image, but my computer reboots after initrd.gz has loaded. I've disabled acpi and apic, used irqpoll, and changed to vga mode, but nothing works so far...=/ [14:47] Hello. I have one probelm with my resolution. I can`t select 1280 x 1024 only in Nvidia X server settings but when I set it it work only for time when I work with it when I reboot or turn of and then on computer the resolution turns back to 1024 x 786 I don`t want set the resolution all time when I start system. [14:47] musikgoat|main: you said sudo rm, that's not acceptable, IMHO [14:48] hahaha, well, whatever we're trying to do, lets up this distrib upgrade will fix what gets b0rk3d [14:48] hope* [14:48] how do I deactivate the beep [14:49] in gnome-terminal [14:49] is pissing people here in the library :) [14:49] jatt, unplug speaker [14:49] laptop no way to unplug [14:49] is there a command? [14:49] some files form my desktop disapeared :( [14:49] function key + function volume down [14:49] erm, speicial key [14:49] my special function key works on my laptop [14:50] poopsniffer, ive had them work in some laptops.. then not work in other laptops.. [14:50] luck of drasw [14:50] hey, does anyone know if they've fixed the bug in network manager yet that means it doesnt store passwords for vpn correctly? [14:50] jatt: edit your gnome-terminal profile and uncheck "Terminal bell" [14:50] poopsniffer, :) but normally Ubuntu makes them work more - then any other disrtos ive tried.. === DooM is now known as bsd [14:51] ardchoille: that's it it works! thanks. [14:51] jatt, also use the 'xset b 0 0 0 ' command - that should get rid of a lot of the beeps [14:51] jatt: yw :) [14:51] alright [14:51] jatt, Other aps may beep. that xset command makes thm beep at 0 volume. ;P [14:51] dr_willis: ah, thanks for that [14:51] I gotta put some foam around speaker in this old pc i got - it has a LOUD beep. :) [14:52] Hi all on my personal laptop I have no "real" graphics adapter, so sadly no compiz-fusion... One plug-in I really miss in terms of functionality is the widget layer plug-in (F9)... anyone know of a "non-compiz" alternative/similar app? [14:52] in fact, my sound card got busted yesterday after I run the update manager and upgraded my hardy installation, now my card is not recognized anymore, but the card is there: [14:52] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) [14:52] yesterday some people had the same issue with other cards, was the latest update faulty? [14:53] Lo_: for stuff like screenlets/gdesklets? [14:53] Question: I just made the switch to Linux, and was wonder if Linux slows down after time like windows? Or can I expect my system to run this perfectly for the foreseeable future? [14:54] ardchoille, not exactly.. I'm seaching for something which can hide/bring in foreground one or more apps at the press of a button [14:54] Lo_: oh, ok, no idea [14:54] JamaulBrown: i've yet to have a problem w/ mine slowng down, but i guess anything is possible [14:54] does the OS always use some of the swap partition? [14:54] ardchoille, no preob. thanks anyway [14:54] JamaulBrown: Linux doesn't suffer slowing down over time, in fact Linux was designed to run for long periods without reboots [14:54] i don't understand why it's using .2% of swap and not the full 8gb of RAM [14:55] SOURdiesel: if youv'e got a reasonably recent PC, it won't access swap [14:55] SOURdiesel: 8gigs?... are you using 32bit [14:55] IndyGunFreak: exactly [14:55] IndyGunFreak: 64bit [14:55] weird.. dunno [14:56] Hello all, if I have a windows xp laptop, that currently dual boots to Xubuntu, what is the best way to install Ubuntu to simply replace Xubuntu? [14:56] how to make clean unistall to mysql server ? [14:57] how can i restart network manager in gnome? === ce_siLvERqUeen is now known as ce_LolypOp [14:57] dmulholland-> sudo network-admin [14:57] hello, i'v'e a question...what the time on ls -l and filechooser(gtk) correspond? last access? last write? what if the filesystem has noatime? [14:57] Lobes06: the partitioning is already done so a normal install would be easiest [14:58] Lobes06, easiest is to install ubuntu-desktop, that will let you have both on the same install.. then you could remove the xfce packages if you want.. or keep them if theres tools that xfce has that you like. [14:58] So put the Ubuntu in when winodws is running, and choose that second option to install from Windows? [14:58] gnoob [14:58] Lobes06, but it depends on exactly what you want to do. and if you want to keep your current data/home/stuff. and drive space. === consfearacy is now known as GNUb [14:58] I would like to completely replace Xubuntu, wipe it out, so to speak, and use Ubuntu instead [14:58] Lobes06, Depends if you want to "wipe" your current xubuntu otr keep its settings etc. [14:59] Lobes06, Then go for standard install from Cd [14:59] Lobes06, you reinstall then. [14:59] GNUtoo: is last writte afaik (modification time mtime) [14:59] And it won't screw up the grub option to get into Windows? If I lose that, I'll be in trouble! [14:59] Lobes06, but theres no real need to do that. [14:59] erUSUL, ok thanks a lot [14:59] Lobes06, be careful when you select what partitions to use, but I guess if you already partitioned and dual booting you know avbout this [15:00] going a little crazy here ... one moment I am skype-talking. next time I try mic isn't working. then it is. then it isnt. can anyone help? ive killed pulseaudio. can only one app have the mic input? can the different apps mess with each other? [15:00] Lobes06, it will reinstall the grub loader and menus... xubuntu dident mess up windows did it? :) ubuntu shouldent.. they are the same core OS. If you wanted tobe safest.. then as i said. just install ubuntu-desktop package [15:00] erUSUL, if the time and date of the computer is ok...and the computer only have ubuntu...what could possibly mess-up theses dates? [15:00] GNUtoo: btw you should use relatime instead of noatime ;) [15:00] ok will do, thanks everyone [15:00] i don't understand why the OS is using .2% of swap when the system has access to 8gb of RAM. 64 bit. === hugh is now known as Guest53720 [15:01] Ohmu, Depends what yo're using for audio [15:01] GNUtoo: dunno; not enough info... what do you mean by mess up? time in the future? [15:02] erUSUL, for instance for a text that was written the 2008-11-26 ls shows 2008-11-28 [15:02] s/ls/ls -l [15:02] does anyone have any ftpd experience? [15:03] GNUtoo: well maybe you changed the mode (chmod) or some other operation (chown?) that modifies mtime [15:03] Hello! [15:04] erUSUL, i didn't do that for some time... [15:04] Mite there be anyone who can give me a bit of advice? [15:04] :) [15:04] is there a place the that can learn advanced terminal operations? [15:05] does anyone have any ftpd experience? [15:06] Sk8rdude, isnt't its configuration a bit like apache's? [15:06] I just gotto ask, is there a definite solution to the common nvidia + compiz black flicker problem? [15:06] Hi all on my personal laptop I have no "real" graphics adapter, so sadly no compiz-fusion... One plug-in I really miss in terms of functionality is the widget layer plug-in (F9)... anyone know of a "non-compiz" alternative/similar app? [15:07] GNUtoo: i'm having problems with a specific ftpd ignoring switches on startup [15:07] Sk8rdude, ah ok...i used proftpd long time ago and I don't remember well [15:07] how do i make a x509 certificate froma key and a crt? [15:07] okunnig: only to turn off compiz for video [15:08] Sk8rdude-> how did you verify the ignored switch is not enabled? [15:08] GNUtoo: does pro do virtual users? [15:08] n8tuser: the switch tells the server tthe max user limit is 10... when i log in a second time it fails because the max user limit has been reached [15:08] hello everybody!!can someone help me to configure a tv tuner with fm radio on ubuntu ? [15:09] Sk8rdude: well, that kinda sucks, I didn't want to drop compiz now that I'm quite used to it [15:09] Sk8rdude, don't remember [15:09] I have Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid. I cant for the life of me get my mic to work. [15:09] Ive played with all the settings [15:09] where is the default jre home here [15:09] okunnig: there's something you can download which is essentially a switch which you can shortcut to so you only have to turn it off for for video playback [15:10] Sk8rdude-> could it possibly be another flag thats limiting and not the user limit? like perhaps no 2nd user from same ip address? [15:10] how do I boot with an older kernel? I suspect the latest upgrade doesn't detect my sound card I wanna test with an older one. In /boot I see older images [15:10] I can't compile ndiswrapper to get bcm working: http://pastebin.com/m464a8521 [15:11] n8tuser: i would agree but that switch is also specified in my startup line at 5 [15:11] jatt-> there should still be /lib/modules/oldversionheredir/ [15:11] Sk8rdude: Oh, my bad here. I actually have a black flash once in a while no matter what I do, It's not related to video playback nor opengl-applications nor fullscreen modes [15:11] n8tuser: even when i take both switches out of the line and start the server it defaults to 1 when the man says it should be 50 [15:12] can someone help me to configure a tv tuner with fm radio on ubuntu ? [15:12] okunnig: no idea then... sorry [15:12] Sk8rdude-> i dont all the intimate details but i suspect its another flag thats preventing a 2nd log on from same ip [15:12] olá [15:12] indot know* [15:12] i dont know** [15:12] Hello [15:12] n8tuser: it doesn't make a difference with ip... ive tried logins from different machines [15:13] n8tuser: can i pm? [15:13] Sk8rdude-> stay here...what is the pid of that app? [15:14] hi whenever i try to watch a movie trailer in seamonkey from apple.com/trailers, it tells me I need the latest quick time plugin. But once I copy the full url of the .mov file it loads using the mplayer plugin. But when i try doing that with wget it always fails. Any idea why that happens ? [15:14] Sk8rdude-> try cat /proc/pidofsuch/cmdline and see if the switch is listed === dmulholland is now known as Guest32505 === dmulholland_ is now known as dmulholland [15:15] Hi guys [15:16] I am looking for a command in liveCD [15:16] any help?

[15:17] I need to get root privilages while I am on live session [15:17] to create a folder on an external hard disk [15:17] Sk8rdude-> which command? you have to find the pid of ftpd first [15:17] can i create some kind of template files in /etc/skel that would be "compiled" when doing useradd? [15:17] what's a nice GUI application for synchronization/backup? [15:17] un1que: just sudo the command, on a live session there is no root password [15:18] I know, but it is not working on the graphical UI [15:18] kke, not that i have ever seen/noticed.. thats just copied over.. guess you could make their .bashrc do somthing the firsst time its ran.. what are you wanting to do exactly that needs this? [15:18] n8tuser: sudo: cat/proc/3189/cmdline: command not found [15:18] Sk8rdude, spaces are imporntant :) [15:18] Sk8rdude-> put a space after cat [15:18] cock === prakash_ is now known as prakash_621 [15:19] Sk8rdude: I've found that's less important [15:19] dr_willis: well basically i want to create a read-only .ident file which says "ident $username", probbaly could be done some other way (identd:s config i guess), just got interested about such possibility [15:20] n8tuser: 'pure-ftpd (SERVER)' so that would suggest it's not using any switches; yet i know it is using some because one switch defines the port to accept connections which i know is working [15:20] ok this is my prob using berauso i had the movie's i want than select burn wich take's me to another window to comfirm the burn and than no matter what i select the burn button in that window is grayed out and will not let me burn the dvd [15:20] Sk8rdude: it probably uses the standard ftp ports by default.

[15:21] un1que: just sudo mkdir [15:22] Sk8rdude, that I know, but I need it in GUI not just terminal [15:22] kke, could make a entry in .bash_profile to make such a file if it does not exist.. but the user could still remove it then.. Not sure why you even need a .ident file :) [15:22] ok this is my prob using berauso i had the movie's i want than select burn wich take's me to another window to comfirm the burn and than no matter what i select the burn button in that window is grayed out and will not let me burn the dvd [15:22] anyone plz hlp [15:22] Hello.

[17:38] Ahadiel, i know.. but someone told me to download it, because i had a problem with gnome-do [17:39] please, can you help me? i googled everywhere, [17:39] Ahadiel, I just downloaded Gnome-Do with Synaptic, but i maybe think that its a older version, than the newest release [17:39] I got an error when try to update [17:40] i have a problem. i installed some updates to the system last night, and after that, my sound card doesn't work anymore. anyone have an idea what the problem might be? [17:40] xiroV, try http://getdeb.net see if they have a newer version. [17:40] xiroV, Or learn how to compile software and download gnome-do's source. [17:40] xmehrbal, what are you trying to update and what is the error?

Under "Device," make sure your sound card is selected. You should also play around with the other settings, mostly "Sound playback." Try, for example, OSS instead of ALSA. If that doesn't work, you can try running "alsamixer" from the terminal. Make sure that everything is on. [17:43] exodus I solved the Update error, but I have another problem,would you please help me [17:44] xmehrba1, i can try, what is the problem [17:44] xmehrba1, what video card do you have?

[19:01] I have a general question for you. I have been a former C/C++ programer under MS platforms for several years, and now I moved to Ubuntu recently; I want to keep programming but I don't know where can I start from; What tools do we have outthere to program using C/C++? frameworks, gui libraries, etc.. thanks [19:01] meoblast001: Like I said, it's a defense mechanism. [19:01] Yahovah, it doesnt even say [OK] during the restart [19:01] nor [Fail] [19:01] how do i install crossover [19:01] and /etc/init.d/init.d/ircd-hybrid start doesnt even line break at the end [19:02] where can I find out why I can't activate the "Visual Effects"? [19:02] jamil_1: have you ever actually installed anything from those "proposed" repositories that you have listed (but currently commented out)? [19:02] juro: glxinfo [19:02] Sooke: I don't program but I know that "build-essential" will get you many things that are necessary for the environment that you're trying to work in.. [19:02] ok [19:02] its letting me in now [19:02] nvm [19:02] no its not [19:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/78101/plain/ [19:03] Yahovah, it tells me "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual", what does that mean? [19:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/78101/plain/ [19:03] it let me in once and then said.... no more [19:03] how do i install crossover [19:03] juro: It means you need to enable glx. [19:03] maybe i need to wait for ircd-idiot to figure itself out [19:03] Scunizi, Thanks I will try them; Hoever in MS it was quite normal to user a bunch of "usuall tools" like for example VIsual C, C++Builder, gcc, and that's all, so I wanted to know what are the mos common tools in the same way in Ubuntu/Linux [19:03] hello... i'm trying to replace gedit with geany but I can't figure out how [19:04] Yahovah, in my xorg.conf? [19:04] juro: Yes [19:04] Sooke-> you can use eclipse as an IDE, qt4 ,tk are for guis [19:04] Don: do you have the install file? [19:04] Yahovah, hmm, I hope I don't stuff that up - took me hours to get my Dell 2407wfp running at 1920x1200 ... [19:05] I tried editing ~/.local/share/apps/default.list, no chance... I tried affecting the alternatives with galternatives, no chance either... 'open with "text editor"' is still the first choice I get for opening files [19:05] juro: Then make a backup. [19:05] no i neet to download it but where [19:05] Sooke-> and yes gcc are the basic tools for compilation, autoconf and the Makefile are standards too [19:05] n8tuser, ok, so the option will be gcc as compiler, Eclipse as IDE and qt4 as gui framework right? But what is the difference between qt4 and tk? [19:05] anyone know when openoffice 3 will be back up and running for download? [19:06] MrBougo: right click a text file > Properties > Open With tab ? [19:06] Sooke-> i dont know the pertinent details qt4 vs tk [19:06] ardchoille, it does not remember my choice [19:06] Also here is another quesiton I come up with, what about "visual" tools like C++ Builder for example? Is there something simmilar in Linux? [19:06] Yahovah, I would have assumed that the load option 'glx' loads lgx ..... http://pastebin.com/d628cb21b [19:07] juro: Look in your xorg.log file to see why it's failing to load [19:08] !equivalents [19:08] A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant - Try also joining #ubuntu-bots and asking BestBot [19:08] Rather than change the user and group of apache from www-data:www-data how can I give a particular user and group full rights to www-data?

[20:49] ikonia: Because, I got a tip that that MAY be why my X Server is hard locking on log-in.

[20:49] Anybody know how to implement it? [20:49] Eurysilas: it's disabled by default, so won't cause a problem [20:49] Eurysilas: you have to enable it and have a graphics card conifgured to use it [20:50] ikonia: After an update to kernel 2.6.27-9 in Intrepid ibex, it is not shown on boot, and uname -a shows still previous -7.

[20:50] !engvyng | Devourer [20:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about engvyng [20:51] Ddevourer, you can use 'lspci' or 'lspci | grep VGA' to get details about the card you want to setup and see if there are any additional drivers you will need to install [20:51] wos: yes, that's one of its purpose. the other is to update the modification date of an existing file without actually changing anything in the file (that's what it name comes from, it "touches" files) [20:51] ikonia: kernel 2.6.27-9 not listed in my menu.lst [20:51] Eurysilas: are you sure it's not loading the xinerma extension [20:51] ferronica: manually add it ? [20:51] ikonia: will it work? [20:51] i see, thanks [20:51] ferronica: should do [20:51] exodus_ms, alright. :) [20:51] ikonia, what other supported methods should I try first?

All I know is, in the bug report I looked at, it said two things worked; uninstalling Compiz, or disabling Xinerama (can't remember if it was extension or what). So, is there a way to disable the extension?

Does anyone have a clue what happened? [20:53] ikonia, haha, thanks. [20:53] Eurysilas: you don't need to disable the extension, it's part of the xserver [20:53] It is possible for me to right click on the desktop, it is not my mous. [20:53] Devourer: what's so funny ? [20:54] whoever created ubottu is a genius! [20:54] hello all. [20:54] ikonia: Well, then I'm screwed. I have no clue why my XServer locks, then. [20:54] Does anybody in here use openSUSE along with Ubuntu? I know its an odd question, but I'm just trying to implement a menu similar to the one in 11.0 [20:54] I have a sok question. Simple Onscreen Keyboard. [20:54] Eurysilas: what video card do you have ? [20:54] ikonia, just using ubottu and your 1337 skillz at answering 5 people's questions at the same time. [20:54] Devourer: i would try it at least if you need it badly, , i suppose envyNG is the best guess if tyou have ati or Nivida graphics card but than again the program is not tested on all graphics card but a good try i would say but as someone have told me it is on your own risk ... [20:55] GodfatherofEire: have you tried installing gnome-main-menu ? [20:55] Devourer: check the ati document I sent you before using envyng [20:55] matthias_, I'll read the Ubuntu site first and then if that stuff doesn't work I'll try envyNG. [20:55] calebH, it already is installed [20:55] ikonia, yes, I will. Thanks. [20:55] Devourer: however, just be aware ati support is terrible on linux in general [20:56] ikonia, I've heard about that. I hope it works. [20:56] how can i load the sound drivers for ES1983S ? [20:56] GodfatherofEire: have you added it to your panel? [20:56] how do i install virtualbox on 64bit system ? [20:56] Eurysilas: reboot in recovery mode, choose "try to fix x-server"? [20:56] For some reason I am unable to right click inside programs (except the desktop) and the menus at the top (File, View, etc) will not open. Does anyone have a clue what happened? It is not my mouse -- it works fine. [20:56] ikonia: Well, I THOUGHT it was an Intel i810, but X Server reports 845 GE (intel). In any case, I already tried specifying explicitly the chipset. No go. [20:56] calebH, I guess i didnt notice that there were 2 separate entries for main menu [20:56] Devourer: i think you do the right thing, if nothing helps you and you know for sure it is an ATI or nivida give it a try and see if it works ... [20:56] Eurysilas: ok, thats good [20:56] sok, AKA onboard. Works wonderfully under ubuntu, i even created my own layout. I'm having problems with the copy/version thet is on fluxbuntu. Any ideas? [20:56] Eurysilas: so i810 is an intel driver (generic) nothing more, so don't worry about that [20:56] leohartx: you can apt-get install virtualbox-se [20:56] calebH, at install, there was only 1, now there's 2, so I guess I'm set [20:56] leohartx: you can apt-get install virtualbox-ose, that is [20:57] R0b0t1: did u restart x? [20:57] GodfatherofEire: yup. And if you want the search box to appear you need to have beagle installed - FYI [20:57] Eurysilas: what I'd do is a) boot into safe mode and test teh vesa X server, b.) change the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to change the linx Driver "i810" to Driver "intel" [20:57] it worsk: but it appears to be ignoring the font size settings in the keyboard layout file. [20:57] I'd like to record a video of me using my desktop. Any suggestions for a tool to do that? [20:57] Thanks calebH [20:57] ikonia: It's already using the Intel driver. [20:57] GodfatherofEire: np. Enjoy! [20:57] Eurysilas: i thought you said it was using the i810 ? [20:58] ikonia: I changed it. But no improvement, so it's back to "Intel". [20:58] hi, I just upgraded to intrepid and now i'm having issues compiling. ./configure is throwing the error "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" [20:58] Does anyone know where I can go to get help figuring out why my Audigy2 7.1 sound card will test OK over all speakers, but will only play over the front left and right? [20:58] Eurysilas: well, leave it with intel for now, and test eh vesa driver [20:58] build-essential is installed and worked just fine before the upgrade. [20:58] Eurysilas: if it locks with the vesa driver, there is something very wrong [20:58] heret1c: What is the command for that? [20:59] freyyr: gcc -v [20:59] ikonia: OK, but with that, I don't get my log out screen. And logging out produces a bland screen, not the "Log In" screen. Or, it did on Gutsy. [21:00] *blank [21:00] Eurysilas: what version are you using now ? [21:00] R0b0t1: ctrl-alt-backspace. but you'll loose yr current work. [21:00] ikonia, i was going to paste my logs onto ubuntu forums but they don't seem to be working atm, do you mind if i msg you, is this something you might be able to help me with? the mdadm software raid [21:00] ikonia: Intrepid.

[21:02] so at first, it just said i/o error so i did a reboot [21:02] when i did, i got a bunch of ata3.0 errors (/dev/sdd) [21:02] so i unplugged that drive [21:02] but /dev/sdf might have been doing ok [21:02] thx [21:02] dime: looks like a disk failure sdf isn't looking good [21:02] exodus_ms: yep. not sure what 8.10 did to the drivers [21:02] ikonia: idjc (internet DJ console). the one in the repos isn't built with mp3 encoding. [21:03] when it booted, i did cat /proc/mdstat and it showed md1: inactive with all 5 drives with [S] for spare? [21:03] freyyr: check out the "config.log" or "configure.log" to see the res thats failing [21:03] dime: that will happen yes [21:03] so i did mdadm --stop md1 and now when i try to mdadm --assemble [21:03] it says it can't start with 4 devices [21:03] #ubuntu-es [21:03] gpled, I saw this a while back, maybe it will help, i don't know --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=284260 [21:03] can someone tell me how to boot a ubuntu cd from a windows 98 boot diskette? [21:03] dime: how full was the data on it ? [21:04] it was ~ 1.1tb used out of 2.5 [21:04] ikonia: ah thanks, i got it, my CFLAGS had the wrong syntax and it was throwing an error so ./configure thought it couldn't produce binaries. [21:04] anyone have experience with how to make amule stop crashing for no apparent reason? have rtfm'ed, to no avail.? [21:04] sde and sdf were added later and the raid was grown from 1.5tb -> 2.0tb -> 2.5tb [21:04] freyyr: nice spot [21:04] freyyr: check your CXX_FLAGS too [21:04] Devourer: use sudo lshw and look thru the long list for vga controller and see if the card is visible to the computer ... [21:04] dime: interesting, try using --build instead of assemble [21:04] matthias_, it's not. :\ [21:05] dime: as it won't be able to "assemble" the current raid 5 with a disk missing [21:05] dime: or use mdadm to mark a disk as failed [21:05] Devourer: is it not what???? do sudo lshw and look for display ... [21:05] dime: eg: your config still wants 5 disks and you've got 4 - you need to mark one as failed so it knows to expec 4 [21:05] matthias_, so I'm wondering if I should disable my integrated graphics card... also, I don't know what I did when that configuration menu came up when I was first trying it. [21:05] well, since sdd was causing my system not to boot, i unplugged it [21:05] matthias_, only my integrated graphics card is displayed. [21:06] so i'm already at 5/6 [21:06] plugged in atm [21:06] Devourer: have to be an easy way to enable it, let me do some research and see if ai can help you ... [21:06] wouldn't 4/6 just not give me anything? [21:06] matthias_, alright. [21:06] as i understand it 4/6 raid 5 is a total loss [21:06] matthias_, I need to reboot, but I'll be right back. [21:06] Devourer: before you do anything let me see if i can find anything ... [21:06] dime: you "may" get away with it [21:06] dime: hence why I asked how full it was [21:07] matthias_, ok. [21:07] exodus_ms: looks like ubuntuforums.org is having proxy problems [21:07] i may hold out to see if i can possibly recover the data on the disk maybe [21:07] dime: your call [21:07] because with how r5 is, all the data has to be equallly distributed on the drives [21:07] i think [21:07] Hay guys, a bout 6 month a go I downloaded from the internet a software that let me choose safe color for html that works on linux, I formatted that pc and I lost that software, is there anyone on top of their mind remember the name of a software like that ? thank you [21:07] exodus_ms: i can read the first page. the artical is from 2006 [21:08] dime: doesn't have to be equal as you have the parity stripe, [21:08] dammm i cant get ubuntu to install properly [21:08] dime: hence why I said you may get away with it being rebuilt onto the other disks if it's not too full [21:08] it looks like it has but donsent install grub [21:08] * mumbles goes to download ubuntu agaiinn [21:08] webBuilder: i would think NVU would have something like that, but im not positive [21:09] mumbles: cdrom? you can also run the cd check [21:09] Thank you LF|Irssi [21:09] np [21:09] i dont understand why the modules would be gone. nor how to get them back [21:09] Cyaoo a tutti!!

[21:11] makario: /etc/hosts add line 192.168.1.14 hostname ...ought work [21:11] exodus_ms: yep [21:12] gnutron, zsquareplusc: Thanks. Now, what if I want the same host to have two IP's? (One on a local network, and one using an external IP?) [21:12] exodus_ms: i can see it with lspci [21:12] hello! can anyone tell mehow to open ports? ufw shows that they are open, but nmap still shows them closed??? [21:12] makario: then you need 2 names. like host and host-ext [21:13] whats the best distro/window manager (for HD install) that is fast, people say ubuntu with fluxbox, etc is fast but it takes few mintues to load up a browser even thats not fast. [21:13] zsquareplusc All right, that's not too much of a hassle. Thanks! [21:13] Devourer: hey maybe found something ... [21:13] mariusb: /etc/hosts work only on the pc your on. you need a DNS entry if you want worldwide names. there are free services for that [21:13] matthias_, alright. :) What is it? [21:14] Ampack: the broswer's speed is completely seperate from the window manager [21:14] Devourer: see this page and see if it applies to you: [21:14] makario: two nics and some fancy iptables rules. possibly other ways. try googling that. [21:14] mariusb: sorry, wrong nick [21:14] matthias_, ok.... which one? [21:14] Narani: is anything *running* on those ports? [21:14] Devourer: http://www.tech-forums.net/pc/f43/radeon-9200-pci-radeon-drivers-second-graphics-card-problems-164182/ [21:14] matthias_, alright. [21:14] Devourer: they have some problem but gives you an idea i think, and see if it applies to your problem ... [21:15] how do i get the modules for ES1983S loaded into my 8.10 system? [21:15] LjL, yes, smpt is listening [21:15] Narani: are you behind a router or DSL modem, and is the machine running nmap not behind the same? [21:15] gpled, do you have GNOME ALSA Mixer [21:15] LjL, tried to check outside - still shows as closed [21:16] Narani: but *inside* it shows as closed? that's the important thing [21:16] matthias_, alright, I'll try it. [21:16] Narani: what does nmap run on the very same computer say? [21:16] can anyone help me in getting a more efficient driver for my display adapter? [21:16] Devourer: try 1:st with Compiz if you have it and look for second graphics card or something before messing with xorg, okey ... [21:16] LjL, it says everything is closed [21:17] Narani: what does "netstat -l -p -n | grep portnumber" say? [21:17] hello everyone [21:17] hi all, I installed ubuntu on my laptop after having it working on my desktop for years, and all was well until recently I noticed it started to randomly crash; this never happened on Windows, and there is no common reason behind crashes. Any ideas what I can do to fix the issue? [21:17] matthias_, I don't think my ATI card is seen at all, I tried lspci like that other guy did, but I don't see anything but the Intel stuff. I do see my sound card though which is not integrated. I'm pleased that my sound card works so well. [21:17] can someone recommend an HTML editor? bascially i need to have one window show the html code while the other window shows the output like frontpage did. [21:18] nhasian: NVU [21:18] !nvu [21:18] kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy and later releases. [21:18] Devourer: the ATI card did work before ??? [21:18] rmitchell not like verythign else is fast, package manager, other applications, etc [21:18] gpled, I have to go but this is a 'newer' link that might help --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6078737#post6078737 [21:19] rmitchell even right clicking on the desktop takes a few good seconds [21:19] anpack: what kind of hardware do you have? [21:19] matthias_, no, it did.. well... It's weird. Since I put it in, and when I start up my computer, my computer will try and start, I can hear the fan, but then it'll turn off, and then it'll try to start again, and it does this about 2 times before actually starting. [21:19] great thanks! so i should get kompozer instead of NVU? i'm running gnome not kde [21:19] how do I install amarok themes? [21:19] Devourer: maybe you cold check with another grapgics card if you have any just to be sure the cards is okey and that UBubtu does work as well ... [21:19] hey ikonia [21:19] gpled, btw, the first link I sent to you shows how to load the modules :) [21:19] ciao [21:19] dime: hm ?

[21:20] nhasian: no, install nvu thatf fine for gnome [21:20] matthias_, I don't have any others. :o [21:20] it isn't until i stop md1 and try to reassemble that one of them isn't marked as okay [21:20] zsquareplusc, great thanks for your help [21:20] hi [21:20] dime: well you have a spare, so only one disk is missing, so if you do a rebuild it should be fine [21:20] and according to smartctl, all 5 drives are good [21:20] i have a problem with wubi aspire 9804 [21:20] matthias_, I turned Compiz on, so now what do I do? [21:20] BUSYBOX [21:20] dime: just issue a rebuild [21:20] exodus_ms: i am removing gnome alsa mixer, then reinstalling it. can load the module, because their is no module to load [21:20] wait, i don't have a spare in [21:21] how can I tell whether I'm running 32-bit or 64-bit?

I've attached the terminal output from Myth which show the sound failure here. http://paste.ubuntu.com/78146/ [21:21] dime: oops [21:21] Devourer: sounds like conflict try connecting the monitor to the card again and see if the quesation comes up again and start with low resolution 1:st and from there start looking for drivers ...

[21:21] thanks LjL :) [21:21] but looking at other online guides and stuff [21:21] it should still be active, and degraded [21:21] not inactive [21:21] matthias_, ok. I'll try that. [21:21] Devourer: and see if you can get it up and riunning so ubuntu can help you to get started at least ... [21:22] matthias_, huh... Ok, I hope that works. [21:22] dime: what happens when you try to start it ? [21:22] matthias_, I don't know what it meant by configuration... Does that mean an X.org configuration? [21:22] Devourer: i hope so 2, try it and if not mess aroubnd in compiz and see if you can find any option to eanble or something jncase my idea does not work ... [21:23] Devourer: good luck ... [21:23] how do i start it? [21:23] matthias_, ok. [21:23] Devourer: let me know another day how alright [21:23] exodus_ms: your talking about sudo modprobe [21:23] ? [21:23] Devourer: Good luck and i hope for the best ... [21:23] whats the delete command [21:24] killing the pulse audio service makes it work again, if that's any clue.

[21:27] yeah [21:27] each one shows they are [21:27] ikonia: OK, vesa works....How do I get it to where I can get a shutdown screen and be able to log out? === Hatsjoe`Etuh is now known as Hatsjoe`Rofling === Hatsjoe`Rofling is now known as Hatsjoe` [21:29] how do you delete an empty directory [21:29] i have a question about grub--- the linux core has been updating regularly and I have three older versions amongst the boot possibilities. Will these eventually disappear or will I end up with a long list of linux kernels? [21:29] Anyone know of a reason why my static IP assignment would keep reverting back to dynamic on reboot? 8.10 [21:30] * Eurysilas guesses ikonia is MIA. [21:30] wos: rmdir [21:30] wos: I suggest you try google, there are great tutorials for bash; [21:30] CaMason_: how are you setting it to static? [21:30] is there a way I can make closing my lid not shut off screen1 (but still shut off screen0) on my laptop? [21:30] what file is ATI catalyst control cenbter use to get screen resolution when i connect my TV ??? [21:30] rootsnatch: right clicking the network icon, edit connections, clicking my 'Auto eth0' in wired [21:31] floreLG: You'll end up with a long list, you can remove the old ones by remove their respective linux-image-[version] packages with your favorite package manager. It's always a good idea to keep one known good one around. [21:31] matthias_, back. I'm in low-graphics mode or something like that. [21:31] gpled, have you tried installing following package 'sudo killall pulseaudio' 'sudo alsa force-reload' and then go to System>Preferences>Sound and change everything to ALSA [21:31] rootsnatch: -> IPv4, changing to static, clicking add, putting in IP settings. The new IP works. Reboot -> back to static D: [21:31] Devourer: but on the 2:nd graphics card right ... [21:31] matthias_, like, I had my monitor plugged in to the ATI graphics card, but my monitor stayed blank, so I plugged it back into my integrated grahpics card and I can see the low-graphics version. [21:31] that easy---- synaptic will do the trick then.... thanks [21:31] exodus_ms: think all that is for people who have their sound drivers loaded [21:31] hey guys [21:32] CaMason_: hmmm that should work, have you tried doing it manually in the text files? [21:32] rootsnatch: not sure how to :) [21:32] exodus_ms: i can not find the module to load [21:32] CaMason: do you have an old entry in /et/network/interfaces? [21:32] bring back xmms!!!!! [21:32] type sudo lshw and look for the test starting with *display [21:32] zsquareplusc: that file contains 2 lines.. 'auto lo' and 'iface lo inet loopback' [21:32] ircmonk: audacity with refugee skin ;-) [21:32] so i can see what type of graphics card you are using, i guess intel ... [21:33] audacity wont work with streamtuner [21:33] CaMason_: google static ip and /etc/network in google [21:33] CaMason_ thats fine then if you want to use the network manager [21:33] you will have to edit your /etc/network/interfaces file [21:34] gpled, can you not load the maestro3 module, be it OSS or alsa? [21:34] matthias_, it says this under display. ' product: 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller' [21:34] matthias_, that's the Intel integrated card. [21:35] Anyone know how to flip the image of a webcam using the uvcvideo driver.. I tried looking online with no real good answer other then changing the driver source and recompiling [21:35] Devourer: try system->administration hardware drivers ... [21:35] matthias_, it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system and nothing else is showing up in the list. [21:35] ubuntu will then try to figure iut what driver to use and activate the graphics card if not activated already ... [21:36] matthias_, nothing is showing up. :o I hope the grahpics card isn't broken either. Lol. I looked at the gold connectors on it, and it looks like a few were chipped or soemthing, but I"m not sure if that is how it's suppored to be. [21:36] hmm [21:37] I think that I may have found out why I cannot change LCD screen resolutions, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/194760 I have ALL of the symptoms of that bug report, and have had no luck with manual settings for the moment but I have yet ot make real modelines. [21:37] Devourer: best way to find out is look at another one if the same ut not all pins suppose to be visible ... === xxx__ is now known as _iron [21:37] I have a slight delima I have in my possession an old Toshiba satellite which I was trying to fix for my English III teacher and it had windows on it but it was becoming volatile and it finally bit the dust but when I reinstalled windows it had the same problems so I installed Ubuntu hoping it would work and it's not giving me a lick of trouble but the delima stems from my fellow students so i need to now how to set user restr [21:38] I uninstalled and reinstalled wine a few different ways hoping to get a new .wine folder but every time i install it the .wine folder never gets installed. can someone help me start a fresh wine installation like you get when you first install? [21:38] matthias_, I guess I'll take it out, and then I'll be able to see what model it is an stuff. [21:38] Hello, I'd like to know if the Acer Aspire One AOA150-1570 Netbook can work with Ubuntu. Thanks. [21:38] Bitbybit, i think you need to use purge option [21:38] Devourer: see private message ... [21:38] matthias_, do you know what is in charge of detecting the grahpics card anyways? === flaco is now known as flacom [21:39] milos_: i tried sudo apt-get remove --purge wine and then reinstalled wine but it still didn't make a .wine folder [21:40] Bitbybit do you know that that folder is hidden? [21:40] Accesshater: course =P [21:40] lol k ;) [21:41] Bitbybit, sudo apt-get purge wine && sudo apt-get install wine [21:41] hey guys, im trying to get winxwrap.. i cannot find it in synaptic... should it be in there? [21:41] where can i find the list of available modules for my system? [21:41] Bitbybit, i don't know why it didn't create .wine [21:41] hi, I am getting this error when trying to update or install something: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. [21:42] so, anyways having to apparently override EDID settings since they fail currently (see linked bug report above), does anyone knnow how/where to find the horiz/vert synch values for a notebook LCD panel possibly given reported manufacturer/OEM (reports as Seiko, nVidia dump of EDID has Samsung and a model # I think in it) [21:42] ToddEDM: are you looking for xwinwrap? [21:42] guntbert: yes [21:42] Can I login in terminal mode as well as in gnome? [21:42] at the same time? [21:43] virtual terminal [21:43] Blacklemon67: yes. with ctrl+alt+F1 you get a text console. alt+F7 is back to gui [21:43] the apps at www.kwalty.com are really great [21:43] ctrl-alt+ F1-FX [21:43] last will take you back to X11 display [21:43] X=1,2,3,4,5,6 [21:43] i know that, but can you be logged in in the gui at the same time? [21:44] Blacklemon67: yes [21:44] yes [21:44] : the apps at www.kwalty.com are really great [21:44] : the apps at www.kwalty.com are really great [21:44] billy1234667: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:44] thanks [21:44] ToddEDM: I don't see it either, but google "xwinwrap ubuntu" delivers a lot of hits [21:45] thx [21:45] anyone on the LCD panel horiz/vert freq ranges given mfg and possible OEM & part #? [21:46] Bitbybit, run winecfg [21:47] that will create .wine [21:47] Hey, I need to use a Linux box as a server to stream some audio and video for a presentation back to my house. However, the linux box is sometimes used by random people. What's the best way to hide the confidential stuff? Some people will still need to access it. [21:48] or this one: /usr/bin/deborphan: The status file is in an improper state. how can i fix that? [21:48] think i must be missing an alsa-lib [21:48] makario: by random people? they need to have an account, no? you can encrypt your data [21:49] how about this one [21:49] get cron to work [21:49] hi,i have german keymap, bt while trying to use some type - lerning programms, the umlauts like öäü are not recognised ( http://2addicted.com/words <-- this would be an example) [21:49] ciao [21:50] !it | raffaele [21:50] raffaele: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [21:50] I issue the command 'sudo umount -f /media/cdrom' and it gives me 'umount2: Device or resource busy [21:50] umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy.' How can I open my disk tray in order to put in another cd so i can finish installing diablo 2? [21:50] zsquareplusc It's an audio workstation for my church. The random people who use the account that automatically logs in. I could go the route of a separate account, I guess, but I'd still need it secured. How does one encrypt data? [21:51] blah [21:51] makario: there are several ways. you can encrypt single files (nautlis encrypt, gnupg) or partitions or loop mounted disk images (loop-aes) [21:52] makario, it might be enough just to set the permissions so that only you can read/write [21:52] OK, i managed to set a static IP via /etc/network/interfaces. However, my nameservers wont stick in resolv.conf when I reboot :o [21:52] makario: but multiple people that access the data is not so easy. [21:52] anyone know, is Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 supported (and working with 3d apps) ? [21:53] CaMason_: still? hmm have you googled for static ip in intrepid? [21:53] ok can someone explain to me why cron won't execute a perl script inside a shell script? [21:53] makario, http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2008/10/what-in-my-encrypted-private-directory.html [21:53] I found out I had to cd out of the dir [21:53] zsquareplusc, Which encryption way is the best? I'd just put it all in a folder, say "Videos" or "Music" and lock down the folder. rmitchell I'd still be able to stream, though, right? What if I used, say, a mediatomb? [21:53] makario: if you are the only one with root access, using file permissions can also help, so that others can not look at your files. but someone that can boot a live cd can access them [21:53] rootsnatch: yes most say to add the IP etc via the interfaces file, then add the nameserver to resolv.conf. I do that, but the resolv.conf file keeps getting trimmed! [21:53] CaMason_: it looks like that might be a bug in intrepid [21:54] rootsnatch: yes it seems so [21:54] CaMason_, what are you permissions looking like in resolv.conf [21:54] boy this is good stuff [21:55] soulc: what are you trying to do? [21:55] (Thanks milos_. I'll look into that. I'm using Hardy, though.) [21:55] MrCollins: -rw-r--r-- [21:55] I want to know why cron won't execute a perl script inside a shell script [21:55] CaMason_: that seems normal [21:55] zsquareplusc, I'm not. The default account (the one that automatically logs in) also has adminstrative privileges. [21:55] makario: with ecryptfs (creates a Private folder) partitions and loop-aes you need to have the files mounted to access them. the file permissions (should) ensure that no one else on the box sees these files [21:55] CaMason_: ummmmmm lemme look around [21:55] I will binpaste the fifile [21:55] CaMason_, yeah what rootsnatch said,.... [21:55] here's the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/259214 [21:56] is it useful to report the bug or does it get overlooked? [21:56] Is a video card required to view the BIOS menu at startup? [21:56] soulc: maybe you better ask in #bash [21:56] zsquareplusc, Could I use ecryptfs and have a mediatomb or jinzora user access the files? [21:56] hmmmm never thought of that [21:56] good Idea [21:57] how can I rebuild my /var/lib/dpkg/status file? [21:57] bonsoir... [21:57] j'ai hi all [21:57] #ubuntu.it [21:57] or fix it in any other way? [21:57] ubuntu.it [21:57] i juste updated to intrepi, and vlc fonts are really strange.... someone here had same issue? [21:57] makario: it's going to be difficult if an oter user has admin rights too.. [21:59] zsquareplusc, Okay, plan change. What is the best way to hide a folder on the default account, and still allow "system users" to access it? It doesn't have to be ultra-secure, most of the people around here aren't too tech-savvy. [21:59] !fr | Arkael [21:59] Arkael: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [22:00] makario: you can create a folder somewhere and use the file permissions. you can create a separate group for all non admin users that are allowed to use it. but each users needs his own account [22:00] flash broken down on last update>? [22:01] is anyone experiecing problems with flash player latelly ? [22:01] zsquareplusc: All right. I think I'm getting ideas now. [22:02] #ubuntu-it [22:02] makario: default accound for random users with admin rights.. you're sure you want that? [22:02] administrator: /join #ubuntu-it [22:03] zsquareplusc I know, right? That's what I said. But sometimes they need to install stuff (like today Sound Converted needed to be installed quickly.) [22:04] how do i create a new menu entry [22:04] my flash player broke [22:04] makario: you can restrict sudo to single applications. so you could only allow synaptic, but that also not a perfect solution [22:04] can someone explain why the new kernel security update is held back?? [22:04] zsquareplusc, How does that work? [22:04] swj: Held back when you do sudo apt-get update? [22:04] flannel yes [22:05] flannel 5 held back [22:05] swj: you need to do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [22:05] makario: man sudoers [22:05] zsquareplusc, Thanks. [22:05] swj: upgrade won't install new packages (the new kernel has a different package name, due to version number) [22:05] flannel just wanted to make sure since I have already read that held packages are not ready [22:05] swj: No, that's not true at all [22:06] yes! Static IP remembered over restart [22:06] anyone know, is Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 supported (and working with 3d apps) ? (query me) [22:06] retro__: yes [22:06] flannel ahh I see..normally no new packages..but this cause was usuall ok [22:06] Flannel: you are owner ? [22:06] flannel unusual [22:06] retro__ Yes, I'm using it right now, and I have another computer using it at home. [22:06] And what about composite ? [22:06] retro__ Yes. [22:06] And dual monitor ?

[22:11] Flannel: ok,,, what are the steps I need to take to compile a kernel? [22:11] !kernel | mrwes [22:11] mrwes: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [22:11] Flannel, but I want to anyhow [22:11] rootsnatch: turns out, if I unticked 'System Setting's, then closed, then re-ticked it.. it sticks [22:12] mrwes: that's fine. That page will explain how to. [22:12] Flannel, how do I copy a file from a cdrom to a wine directory [22:12] MrCollins, how's your box running? [22:12] CaMason_: hahah really?

[22:12] rootsnatch: yup, it was hidden as a comment in the bug report :D [22:12] MrCollins, cp /mnt/cdrom ~/Drive_c [22:13] maybe [22:13] so thats cp /mnt/cdrom (space) ~/Drive_c [22:13] CaMason_: that is ridiculous, I hope someone makes a patch this is intrepid right? [22:13] Flannel, danke sehr for the link [22:13] !games [22:13] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [22:13] if I want to reinstall the new version of ubuntu, can I just keep my home directory, then on installation use the same user name, and it will automatically connect to my existing home directory? [22:13] MrCollins: ~/.wine/drive_c I believe. [22:13] Flannel, thank you [22:14] Meshezabeel, do you have /home on a separate partition? [22:14] MrCollins: But you can do it through nautilus too. Just drag stuff [22:14] mrwes, yes [22:14] Flannel, oh ok :) thanks [22:14] can you guys see my messages? [22:14] MrCollins: In your home folder, hit ctrl-h to see hidden files, then you'll see .wine [22:14] a sound in skype doesn't work for me. i ave tried to change it in options(i can choose: HDA NVidia(hw: NVidia1, hw: NVidia0, plughw: NVidia1, plughw: NVidia0), nut no matter what i choose i hear nothing [22:14] I need to install this module, and I've downloaded the module source package. I'm reading the instructions on what to do, but terminal keeps saying the package doesn't exist. Do I have to place the .deb in a certain location? [22:14] Meshezabeel, then yes, although you'll have to reinstall the software packages you added [22:14] philjo: yes [22:14] ok thx [22:14] Flannel, thank you again sir [22:15] Meshezabeel, the config files will be saved in /home though [22:15] awesome, thanks mrwes [22:15] sir? [22:15] wow!

Anyone got any ideas why I can't install? [22:15] Meshezabeel, you doing an upgrade or fresh installation? [22:15] philjo: maybe Cd reader is broken [22:16] Flannel, one more slightly off topic thing....ROLL TIDE! [22:16] heh [22:16] mrwes, fresh install [22:16] pretty sure it's some kind of argument with my system. Just wondering if it's memory, or the SATA drives it doesn't like [22:16] Meshezabeel, good. [22:16] anyone know y steam wont connect to the net but it works fine in windows [22:16] mrwes, upgrades scare me ;) [22:16] Meshezabeel, yah me too...never had good luck with'em [22:16] sere: maybe firewall [22:17] retro_, it just stopped ...was working fine [22:17] I'm trying to remove "Suspend" from the list of shutdown options, without success. I've set can_suspend to false in gconf, but it's still showing. Any ideas? [22:17] is there supposed to be some kind of partition manager or something for doing fresh installs? [22:18] philjo: there is. During the install you'll have a chance to partition [22:18] ok I guess I'm crashing out before I get to that. All I see is the logo and the bar bouncing around, then I get dropped with the initramfs error [22:18] mrwes, so I should keep my /home and swap partitions, or should I just get rid of swap too, or does it matter? [22:18] Meshezabeel, keep the swap [22:19] i added firerstarter to the startup but when i turn on my pc it tell me firestarter dosent have privileges and closes [22:19] philjo: Try choosing the "check CD for defects" line, does that work? [22:19] Meshezabeel, make sure you only format the / partition and not /home [22:19] hi. I can't hear sounds anymore... an error has occoured with the audio, some days ago, and now I dunno how to restore the situation.... [22:19] naw, they all do the same thing. [22:19] except the check memory, that just pops up a purple pixel somewhere, and then hangs [22:20] !info partition | Meshezabeel [22:20] Package partition does not exist in intrepid [22:20] anyone got an hp 2133? [22:20] okay, had dual monitors working & everything. comp froze, and when it came back on, it's like it's not even using my xorg.conf... no dvorak kb, low res, etc... any ideas [22:20] hmmm [22:21] I'll go shut off my raid,0 and leave the SATA in RAID in the BIOS...

[22:24] nice [22:24] mmarcelo, since ubuntu has a live disc you can try it out without installing it on your computer [22:25] ubuntu 8.10 startx returns exec 5: /usr/bin/x11/x: not found [22:25] xinit : Server Error [22:25] !diablo2 [22:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about diablo2 [22:25] mmarcelo, so yeah, ubuntu would be a good choice as long as you get the live disc, you might also want to try out some other distro live discs to see what suits you best [22:25] how do i fix this? [22:25] mmarcelo, what are your intentions for checking out linux, that might help you figure out what distro is best for you [22:26] good evening fellows [22:26] mmarcelo, also know that running from a live disc loads everything to ram, so will run slower than if it is installed on your computer, so check how much ram you have to make sure you can run the live disc decently.

[22:37] ethana2: probably because your not using a shared /boot partition [22:37] Giggsteve8, it says "Ubuntu requires the 2000 version of the bios" ???

Banshee's latest version is interesting because it has video library, but the vid library is lame because it uses gstreamer, not something useful like mplayer, and amarok is kde-style. [22:53] ikonia: because when stuff crashes I run it in gdb, and it always says 'no debug symbols found' (x100) then 'oh, by the way, this app crashed [22:53] ethana2: oh, you want it WITH debug symbols in [22:53] ikonia: yes [22:53] ethana2: sorry, I miss-read [22:53] i am trying to login to my ssh server i just setup [22:53] shouldnt the pass be what the password is on the given box im trying to login to [22:53] ethana2: there are normally packages with debug sybols in the repo, eg: core-utils, core-utils-debug-sybols [22:53] for root that is [22:53] ˙(dnʞɔɐq noʎ ǝɹns ǝʞɐɯ ʇsnɾ) sʍopuıʍ ɥʇıʍ ʇooq lɐnp oslɐ uɐɔ noʎ puɐ `(ɹǝʍols ǝq llıʍ ʇı) pɔ ɯoɹɟ ʇsɹıɟ ʇı ʎɹʇ uıɐƃɐ `ɥɐǝʎ `olǝɔɹɐɯɯ [22:54] this is an odd problem for sure [22:54] ethana2: doubt you'll find all packages the same [22:54] mmarcelo, yeah, again try it first from cd (it will be slower), and you can also dual boot with windows (just make sure you backup). [22:54] Amarok! Settings Configure Amarok Collection and klick your drive [22:54] I still don't see if Rythumbox or Amerocks or Banshee is best. Amerock doesn't include Video support? [22:54] ethana2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash [22:54] adub: yes. ssh -l username hostname [22:55] ahh [22:55] lol [22:55] I dont really use banshee [22:55] I mean, I need to set this up for sighted users who are used to ITunes, and I really don't want to have to change it too much for them [22:55] Never needed I tunes [22:55] rww: ah, so there are better ways to get info on crashes than debugging symbols.. [22:56] * ethana2 bookmarks page [22:56] alex_21: It's probably best if you installed them and decided yourself. I haven't used itunes in years. [22:56] adub: root access is normally diabled in sshd's config. ubuntu also has root account disabled by default [22:56] cool [22:56] Meshezabeel ok. thanks for the help, once again. i'm going offline now. :) [22:56] yes i figured it out [22:56] I have ITunes on a primarily Mac network. Is ATunes maybe what I want? [22:57] Sounds good? [22:57] how how i check i already have dependency files? [22:57] how do* [22:57] Well I don't know. As I said I can't see it visually, and orca doesn't work with all of them, so I really don't know how the UI is laid out [22:57] You know that recent update that went out with the changed ABI? I booted off the kernel it installed and it didn't have sound, but I didn't remember what it said at bootup so I just reverted to the older one... [22:58] alex_21: there are also command line music players [22:58] I should have commented it out of menu.lst instead of deleting it.. Ok yeah, that was dumb of me [22:58] That is why I ask you guys for help. Does ATunes have DAAP support? [22:58] I can not install 8.04.... I get to partitioning and it fails.... help please [22:58] gnutron: zsquareplusc hi, you'll become expert ssh :)..just a wink, can't stay..be back later [22:58] Hi! How can I activate USB support on my VirtualBox? [22:58] alex_21: I don't know how it works with a screen reader, but songbird LOOKS a LOT like iTunes if that's the #1 thing. [22:59] Rdgcrs: the version in the repos is OSE (open source edition). OSE doesn't support USB [22:59] Rdgcrs: ose or proprietary edition? (the 1st one has no usb support) [22:59] qcjn: :) [22:59] hi [22:59] Does Songbird have DAAP support, and how do I install Songbird? [22:59] alex_21: No [23:00] fonzarelli, zsquareplusc: I've the version of the web page www.virtualbox.org [23:00] Rdgcrs: which one, there are two versions [23:00] Rdgcrs-> the one from sun supports usb [23:01] fonzarelli, zsquareplusc: And I get an error when I start every virtualmachine saying USB that can not use USB's [23:01] I think it's the Non-free version [23:01] Im having Problems setting up any version of ubuntu with my XFX 7600TXT .. its okay, pre-bbot but when it attempts to load the driver for my card it spazzes and shows green vertical lines on my screen ... any help is apperciated? [23:01] Rdgcrs: yes, i know. one moment [23:01] Good night, its Midnight [23:01] hi [23:02] Rdgcrs-> it should say sun xVM when you launched it [23:02] is there a way to run a heavy game like warhammer online with ubuntu? [23:02] Rdgcrs: i'm sending you some instructions in a private message [23:02] Rdgcrs: add in /etc/fstab usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1001,devmode=664 0 0 [23:03] i apparently have a permissions problem with a Zen Mozaic ... as per README.Debian the user is in plugdev but can't access the device [23:03] yet sudo gnomad2 works [23:04] is this some udev-fu or what? [23:04] * Mustinet selam === Mustinet is now known as Mstnt [23:05] who has experience with resolving amule crashes? [23:06] ahh ... [23:06] maybe just unknown model [23:06] * SynrG looks at /etc/udev/rules.d/libnjb.rules [23:06] Im having Problems setting up any version of ubuntu with my XFX 7600TXT .. its okay, pre-bbot but when it attempts to load the driver for my card it spazzes and shows green vertical lines on my screen ... any help is apperciated? [23:07] for the record, #amule is dead. [23:07] heret1c, tried an strace on it? [23:07] there needs to be a graphcial boot setup [23:07] mumbles, there is [23:08] drog: nope. need it be done immediately after a crash? strace amule? [23:08] yeah thats fine .. then i get the ubuntu splash screen .. then it spazes out [23:09] heret1c, you run the program with strace beforehand and check the logs... something like strace > ~/log.foo === john is now known as Guest66470 [23:09] heret1c, might want to check the man page though. There are probably other trace utilities too === forkz is now known as Sporkz [23:10] Hi, all. My Evolution is set to fetch email from a POP server. However, every time it checks for new mails, it gives a lot of error mesages, saying that there is an error of a spam-filter. But it does fetch new messages. I experience these problems since the very beginning in Ubuntu 8.10 === Sporkz is now known as Erik_The_Red [23:10] how do i setup pine within terminal === john is now known as Guest24069 [23:11] drog: ah. have a good run now, must wait. [23:11] kade909, install, or configure? [23:11] ilembitov, have you played around in evolution preferences > mail preferences > junk [23:11] <__aib> how do I get php xslt on ubuntu? i already installed php5-xsl [23:11] <__aib> i am getting this erro: Your PHP install does not support xslt, please install the PHP_XSLT package. [23:11] yup. the Zen Mozaic is too new a model. just adding the model# to the .rules was sufficient === Erik_The_Red is now known as Forkz [23:12] heret1c, yup, just check the logs to make sure they're being written and wait for a crash [23:12] dear nice ubuntu people. i've been struggling with ages with my wireless-connection. im running intrepid ibex. my card is a intel 2200BG. the router i'm trying to connect to is a d-link DIR-655. i know that the BG is not able to use the N-protocol, but when i'm running windows, the card is still able to connect, probably switching the connection to b or g protocol. this doesn't happen in ubuntu.. what to do? [23:12] hi [23:12] emre, hello [23:13] drog: No. I didn't ever change anything, except for setting this mail up [23:13] ilembitov, perhaps you should :) [23:13] hi drog [23:13] how do i stream webcam to internet [23:13] with ubuntu 8.10 and eeepc 900 [23:14] Tekno, you're running ubuntu on an eeepc? [23:14] yes [23:14] Tekno: video chat? ekiga [23:14] turban: did u try to use windows driver? [23:14] Tekno, nice [23:14] drog: So, what should I do here? I get an error about Bogofilter [23:14] zsquareplusc: i want to make stream to many users [23:14] not just one [23:14] turban-> you can set driver capabilities? [23:14] ilembitov, can you type out or pastebin the error [23:14] Tekno: ustream.tv then [23:15] Is it safe to "chmod -R o-r /etc/" ? [23:15] Tekno: with VLC [23:15] Tekno: vlc can stream [23:15] turban, is the device working with the drivers you're using? [23:15] (other than the inability to connect) [23:15] okay [23:16] Nith, I wouldnt change permissions like that [23:16] Nith, what are you trying to accomplish? [23:16] hi what are the names for mirrors for ubuntu? im installin jaunty now and installer asks me for them [23:16] heret1c, no - i haven't. i see that this is a possibility with intrepid, i'll check it out right away and see what happens... thank you very much [23:16] marek_: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. [23:16] drog: stop users who ssh in from accessing my configs [23:16] marek_, afaik it should detect a bunch of different mirrors for you, but you can certainly look for a mirror close to yourself [23:16] turban: have ndisgtk installed? [23:17] if my user is a member of a group, and a folder has that group as owner... and chmod is drwxrwxr-x.. should they be abel to write to it? [23:17] im getting permission denied atm [23:17] Nith, they shouldn't have write access, if you want to get rid of their read access I suggest changing the specific files you dont want read instead of all of /etc/* [23:17] drog: if you have alot of people ssh'ing in, i would suggest a chroot jail for them... there should be proper walkthroughs on setting that up [23:17] Nith: that is like throwing the baby out with the bath water and very dangerious, just change the permissions PER config, not the entire /etc [23:18] heret1c, no, but i presume that the tool administrator-> windows wireless drivers can be used? [23:18] understood, thanks drog and LF|Irssi [23:18] yw :) [23:18] nith: if you have alot of people ssh'ing in, i would suggest a chroot jail for them... there should be proper walkthroughs on setting that up. [23:18] goat|lappy, :P [23:18] heh [23:19] "drwxrwxr-x 2 root dev " should a user in the group 'dev' be able to create a file in that folder? [23:19] turban: that's it, afaik. the same. [23:19] CaMason_, yes === mike is now known as Guest75309 [23:19] drog: hrm.. doesn't seem to want to let me [23:19] turban: good luck. .-) [23:19] U:_ _ _ G: _ _ _ O: _ _ _ [23:19] "groups camason" shows 'dev' as one of my groups [23:19] CaMason_: and "groups" lists dev for you? [23:20] <__Superman__> Does anyone knows in vim, when i am writing a cpp file, for example when i hit enter and i'm in a { it will leave space??? How can i set this up??? pls private msg [23:21] CaMason_, you can check if the user is in "dev" by "groups _name" [23:21] heret1c, thank you very much! we'll see what happens, how is this wrapper working? i find it strange that intrepid still needs a wrapper for this very common carc.. [23:21] CaMason_, "groups " :S [23:21] drog: "groups camason" shows 'dev' at the end [23:21] I have VLC.. what next? How do I start streaming? [23:21] __Superman__: #vim :-) you have to enable autoindentation [23:21] CaMason_, ls -l on the directory [23:21] ok guys, i fyou have xp installed on a sata hdd, and ubuntu on a ide should there be any problems? [23:21] mumbles, no [23:21] Tekno: read their webpage, they have examples on how to stream [23:21] goat|lappy: will do, was looking at this as an alternative to that [23:22] thats what i thought [23:22] why can i not get grub up [23:22] drog: drwxrwxr-x 2 root dev 4096 2008-11-29 22:57 projects [23:22] mumbles, you will most likely want to boot off the ide drive, so you'll want to set it as your primary boot device and have a boot loader installed on it [23:22] i have ubuntu 8-4 running inside windows xp.when windows crashes or gets hacked will ubuntu still boot and will my personal info be safe??? [23:22] yep thats what ive odne [23:22] is the group name 'dev' causing a problem? perhaps I need a different name? [23:22] Guest75309: you mean with wubi? [23:22] Hi, I'm trying to install 8.4.01 on netbook without a CD drive. I have a bootable CD and another computer (running Vista) that can read it, and I'd like to use it to make a bootable flash drive. How do I do this? [23:23] mumbles, and you've set it up to boot off of hd_# or sd_#? and works? [23:23] zsquareplusc: but their site has outdated guides.... [23:23] ive even used sudo grub and looked at menu.silit [23:23] <__Superman__> thx!!!! [23:23] CaMason_: is the filesystem mounted readonly? (mount) [23:23] its set to boot off hdd [23:23] the ide [23:23] zsquareplusc: no I can sudo touch a file to that folder [23:23] mumbles, do you have a dual boot set up for windows? [23:23] it was ment to be [23:23] drog how can i find them? [23:24] can you provide me any> [23:24] CaMason_, just wondering, but why is root given ownership, root can do anything to anything [23:24] turban: dunno. fiddlybits, prolly. [23:24] drog: I just created the folder as root (/development/projects). I just wanted to make sure every used in 'dev' could write within it [23:24] marek_, where do you live roughly? [23:24] poland [23:24] Hey guys, I am tryin to play videos from a specific SATA disk of mine and the playback is choppy but anything on my local hard drive (same videos) are smooth. Any suggestions? [23:24] ooo [23:25] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/ftp.wcss.pl [23:25] i found this [23:25] CaMason_: /development has r-x perms? [23:25] Its probably just the one video [23:25] cylux, are the videos high definition? [23:25] try another smaller video [23:25] drog: Yes [23:25] !wireless [23:25] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:25] Any suggestions for making a live flash drive from a CD? [23:25] what host name should i type? ftp.wcss.[pl? [23:25] cylux, in both cases? are you sure your computer can decompress hd? [23:25] !usb > Xylia [23:25] Xylia, please see my private message [23:25] it's actually a surprisingly cpu intensive thing to do [23:26] marek_ this is for jaunty, yes? [23:26] yeah, may need to watch CPU usage while running it [23:26] drog: I have a very high-end computer, why wouldn't it be able to (But yeah, non-HD videos look better) [23:26] drog ok its done, thanks very much [23:26] No wireless here, & trying to track down the problem. So, 1st - lshw -C network properly ids the card, w/ the proper driver. Does that mean it's not a hardware problem? [23:27] drwxrwxr-x 3 root development 4096 2008-11-29 22:57 development [23:27] marek_, heres another if that doesnt work out ftp://ubuntu.task.gda.pl/ubuntu/ [23:27] development folder is in the root [23:27] edju: is there a "wireless" item in the gnome network applet? [23:28] drog: ? [23:28] is it because it's owned by 'root' that's causing problems? [23:28] CaMason_: you let your users create subfolders in there? intention? [23:28] zsquareplusc: /development/projects is an area for users within the group 'development' to mess around with [23:28] zsquareplusc, Dunno - use KDE. But, knetworkmanager shows "no wireless network found" [23:29] cylux, how high-end? [23:29] I'm looking for a good media player to reduce duplicates and consolidate multiple music libraries... any good suggestions? [23:29] Uahh - I wanted to have an option in konqueror to add a folder to amarok playlist. Unfortunately every opened folder (gnome or kde) is being appended to the amarok-playlist now. Which file contains this information? [23:29] edju: ok. do you have a wireless on/off switch on your pc? does "dmesg" show errors? [23:30] edju, is there a wireless light on your pc? is this a laptop? [23:31] cylux: If your player has an option to increase buffering times or cache, that could help. I was having issues with choppy video in VLC that got fixed that way. [23:31] zsquareplusc, dmesg shoed no errors when ndiswrapper was loaded. It is a lap and the wless switch is on. [23:31] cylux: it's more of a workaround than a solution, but it's better than nothing [23:31] drog: Dual Core 3.2 GHz processor and a GeForce 8600 GT and 2GB of RAM [23:32] rww: I'll try it out, thanks. [23:32] iwconfig essid doesn't associate the AP. [23:32] rww: But mplayer was also choppy, it isn't just VLC [23:32] CaMason_, try chowning it to another user [23:32] drog: I just tried that.. chown -R test:development /development [23:32] still no joy D: [23:32] cylux, yea that shouldn't have a problem... are you using nvidia drivers? [23:32] cylux: HD streams? try to enable processing for the second CPU (threads for some decoders) [23:33] zsquareplusc, shouldn't matter, 3.2 on a single core core 2 is more than enough to decode 1080p [23:33] re [23:33] drog: mine is 2.1GHz and it is not enough [23:34] :/ [23:34] zsquareplusc, what cpu? [23:34] drog: also a core 2 duo [23:34] I just restarted and it seems to be working now :o [23:35] zsquareplusc, that doesnt sound right... [23:35] CaMason_: you did not re-login after adding yourself to the group? [23:35] zsquareplusc: no, I wasn't aware that was mandatory :D [23:35] drog: it works unless there is a lot of movment, then it losses some frames [23:36] how do I setup vlc 0.9 to stream webcam [23:36] how come i once could drag launcher to awn but not anymore? [23:36] rtsp,http,mms wtf... [23:36] could someone with a good understanding of the terminal chat with me? [23:36] martyd, depends how you define 'good understanding' [23:36] zsquareplusc, wow, what format? [23:36] martyd: what drog said. What do you need help with? [23:37] i tried this guide on moving my home to a new partition [23:37] need help detecting keyboard [23:37] I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and now I can't add any new user, when i go to the user manager i get all the options grayed [23:37] but the command to copy the fils across didn't work [23:37] can anyone help me? [23:37] so 'good understanding' means able to move files, etc :P [23:37] XThief, use terminal adduser [23:37] i tried [23:37] i have a program that I've launched within a terminal but I want to close the terminal and the X server but still have the process running, anyway to do it? [23:37] XThief: try sudo useradd -m username [23:37] XThief, is there an "unlock" option somewhere on that window? [23:37] but then i cant log with that user [23:37] drog: oh, hm. the smaller HD format, but its not important, solve the important problems of others here :-) [23:37] showed my mom something on comp and she saw a folder named porn hehe :SS [23:37] how come i once could drag launcher to awn but not anymore? [23:38] drog yes, but its also grayed [23:38] nbeebo: opps :P [23:38] XThief, probably an 8.10 bug, use sudo adduser [23:38] i tried to do that [23:38] need help detecting keyboard [23:38] How do I find the directory where an icon on my Desktop is filed so I can change it? [23:38] but then i cant log in from NX [23:38] cause its a server [23:38] I'm not able to log out then log back in when compiz is enabled, I have to hard reseet the computer. Is that normal? [23:38] XThief: you may need to set the user passwd and shell default (and perhaps home dir) [23:38] Jagged_ already did it [23:38] XThief, is there not an unlock button in the users and groups window? [23:39] Pedrolito: no, that is not normal. sounds like a driver issue [23:39] cylux, the problem only occurs on the sata drive, you can play the same video flawlessly from the ide drive? [23:39] dmulholland yes, but its grayed === Jagged_ is now known as Jagged [23:39] can anyone help me with installing "libnl" depend.?
