[00:08] jordan_, it ought to mount by itself, ifnot you can try: sudo mount -a else you'll have to use sudo fdisk -l then mount /dev/sd** /mnt/usb_drive or however you'd like [00:08] does anyone know how I can find a file containing a certain "text" using the GUI in ubuntu? or does it have to be command line? [00:08] well im in a virtual os [00:08] Kingsy101, not sure about gui, i'd imagine something exists, even in command line its a pain in the a$$ [00:09] is there a way to maxamize the window so that it's maxamized within the two bars. all my windows are opening "maxamized" and are only half of the screen [00:09] arg... [00:09] something along the lines of find . | grep search_string * [00:09] Kingsy101: tracker search in the addons, if you have trackerd enabled [00:09] I really need to search a bunch of files for a line of code, there is no way I could go through by hand [00:09] it can get a bit more complicated than that too, i was using cat and grepping that [00:09] i'd definitely use find / grep [00:09] tracker search? is that downloadable through the addons? [00:10] Kingsy101: no, int installed and enabled by default [00:10] Paddy_EIRE: that did it thanks [00:10] command line? or can be used in the GUI? [00:10] hi all, do you know any program to load images directly from the web? i mean, run it with "program http://lala.com/lol.jpg". [00:10] gimp can do it, but i look for something simpler [00:10] Kingsy101: apps->addons [00:11] $ find . | grep null * [00:11] works great [00:11] even tells you the file and line [00:11] jj_galvez, sure [00:11] could come up with a gui for it fairly easily but it wouldn't be worth writing really, doesn't ubuntu have a built in search function ? [00:12] yes ubuntu does, and it works very nice :D [00:12] can it search for text strings inside of files ? [00:12] not sure, let me check [00:12] u can, so u know, dont know how tho [00:12] oh sorry it wasnt standalone question [00:13] zsquareplusc - is it in the root? [00:13] ZeZu, cat file | grep string? [00:13] err... grep string file No cat needed. :P [00:13] Kingsy101: ? its in the applications menu, addons [00:13] what the heck is "journaled quota" (I get this message as output from running quotacheck -avugm where the root fs is an ext3 fs), and how do I turn it on? [00:13] Schuenemann: why not grep file string? [00:14] zsquareplusc, because I didn't know that [00:14] Schuenemann: sorry, it is grep pattern file [file] anyway [00:14] what command will show me where a deb package is installed? [00:14] deskbar one could add an extension to deskbar to get a gui way to search within files [00:14] how can I get to ubuntu from a bash prompt at boot?

[00:15] RugB but if X didn't start then that means that there is probably a problem with X [00:15] hmm how do you specify which directory you want it to look in?

[00:54] where to find the exrension [00:54] jamie: apt-cache show appname [00:55] zsquareplusc: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] [00:56] RugB: i only know of a complex way to check.. if someone else in the channel knows... jump in... i think we need to check if you have is the package nvidia-glx-177 installed [00:56] If I want to install a MTA with local delivery and piping to scripts, with as little as possible configuration needed, and no dns record, what should I then choose? [00:56] jamie: oops, sorry, I was wrong :( [00:56] can anyone give me a link to where their are cheap nvidia graphic cards? [00:56] im trying to look but i cant find anything which has prices [00:56] right, ardchoille, was just verifying that. it's not quite what i needed [00:56] chea price checking sites maybe [00:57] ????????????/ [00:57] jamie: yeah, realized that too late [00:57] <__BSD__> ebay maybe [00:57] zsquareplusc: I do have that installed [00:57] pt br ?////// [00:57] i have a question about compiz fusion.. [00:57] can anybpdy help me [00:57] RugB: but you are on the cd now. is that also installed on the haddisk? [00:57] sou do brasil [00:57] !br | adferreira [00:57] adferreira: Por favor use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:57] the_wise1: #compiz-fusion is great for that [00:58] yes [00:58] zsquareplusc: yes, I installed it yesterday. [00:58] is there a step by step guide to installing ubuntu with lvm? [00:59] ardchoille:yeah..since i updated my compiz fusion does not work ryt anymore [00:59] glusce: looks like others are compiling tclcl === magcius_ is now known as magcius [00:59] glusce: http://lycog.wordpress.com/2008/06/04/install-ns-226-on-ubuntu/ [01:00] Dose any one know if ubuntu would ever have some thing like restore or even better timemachine in mac osx ? [01:01] RugB: looks like i have a 7600 GS, it worked without problems. maybe the dual card setup is somehow disturbing. it interesting that the live cd works. there is an nvidia-settings application, maybe that can help [01:01] I'm trying to setup a diskless client following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto , but the client gets to "Mounting Local Filesystems..." and stops, any ideas? [01:01] tim1: not by default, so if you haven't set up a backup and lost something, you'll have to use other methods to find it [01:02] zsquareplusc: and it runs in Ubuntu? [01:02] not lost just hate reinstalling when things go major wrong. [01:02] whats difference between konsol and teminal? [01:02] loose every setting [01:02] hello..how to list users that could login in console? [01:03] rhineheart_m: who [01:03] RugB: yes. the package is named nvidia-settings as the binary as well. but it is a gui app :/ [01:03] VistaUser: konsole is a KDE program, that runs a terminal inside of a window. Terminal is likely gnome-terminal, which is Gnomes version of the same. [01:03] tim1, many of us keep /home on a separate partition, and make backups of /etc [01:03] I tried that one but the username didn't show up. Only root and tty1 here wartalker [01:03] RugB: nvidia-xconfig seems to be command line [01:03] tim1: as well as our /home [01:04] ok ty [01:04] how do i repair Ubuntu 8.04 hardy? [01:04] ardchoille: i downloaded avidemux...how do i rip the disk to my computer? [01:04] jimcooncat timemachine is some thing to shoot for [01:04] Hey, I have an ubuntu question. How do I set VLC to be the default program to open all music and videos? [01:04] Hi guys. Damn i love ubuntu. My laptop ran like hell on both XP and vista after having it for 2 yrs, even the usb ports wouldn't work.. now everything runs great. Thanks! [01:05] tim1 I've heard good things, but no macs around here... [01:05] thormlap: I concur. Ubuntu rocks. [01:05] thormlap: hah, it is nice, huh? :) [01:05] indeed [01:05] yeh i would love to fund the development [01:05] is there a channel or place to chat about erp, mrp and other business systems on ubuntu? [01:05] But in all seriousness, how do I change default programs in ubuntu? [01:05] hello all. Quick question. If I have an old AMD Athlon 64bit. is it better to run 64 bit to speed the computer up or is there no noticeable difference? [01:06] does anybody know how to install flash on opera [01:06] spartan1: I tried using the 64 bit because I have a turion 64. It seemed much less stable. [01:06] spartan1 its noticable but not for long [01:06] default as in the programs that is pre-installed /w ubuntu by default wiseman? [01:06] rhineheart_m: who will show the users that are currently logged in, to see which users could log in, look at /etc/passwd , the last field is the shell for the user, /bin/false will not allow console login, as far as I know [01:06] ok..... i run ubuntu and i added kubuntu.......how do i get k off from my U desktop? [01:06] wiseman: properties on one of the files you want to change -> open with tab. i dont know how to do it for many types at once [01:06] tim1, there are many methods on Ubuntu to accomplish backups, some are quite nice, but maybe not as slick [01:06] !puregnome | truthslave [01:06] truthslave: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [01:07] this is an old box and I'm thinking it might be better to run 64 bit for the performance boost [01:07] thanks ub [01:07] zsquareplusc: let me try that [01:07] spartan1, an old box with a 64bit processor? [01:07] anyone do automated systems development? [01:07] yea [01:07] jimcooncat: I know backupps is very nice. I was thinking some thing stander to ubuntu [01:07] about 700mb ram [01:08] How do I repair broken Ubuntu 8.04? [01:08] anonident: cron and monit don't count, right? [01:08] zsquareplusc: I don't see that options [01:08] spartan1, What type of cpu does it have? [01:08] greghere, what's wrong? [01:08] install 8.10 [01:08] greghere, whats broken [01:08] amd athlon [01:08] any idea how to solve this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=997642 [01:08] nah, looking for something a bit more extensive [01:08] zsquareplusc: never mind, hang on [01:08] spartan1: Mare ram would be more noticeable [01:08] wiseman: sorry i dont have an english setup. but it is there [01:08] spartan1, I meant speed etc... not manufacturer I could have had a 50% chance on that. [01:09] spartan1, and as others have suggested more ram would be more noticable then running 64bit vs. 32bit. [01:09] hi everybody [01:09] 1.3 [01:09] spartan1, doyou ever see your cpu maxed out? [01:09] essentially cluster deployment.. web servers/db systems but highly automated [01:09] zsquareplusc: I found it. thanks. [01:09] on htop [01:09] yea [01:09] Histo, Did some updates Friday, now on bootup, nothing! After entering Login details boots to grey screen. [01:09] with easy integration and updating [01:09] for a few seconds [01:09] spartan1, also keep in mind 64bit will use twice as much ram. It keeps more stuff in cache [01:09] I have a few themes that need GTK 2.0. How do I install that engine? [01:09] is there a way to prevent compiz form using special effects on a specic app? [01:09] tim1: I use bazaar here at home, at work I think I'm using Simple Backup [01:09] greghere, can you hit escape on the grub menu and boot an older kernel? [01:10] To keep it lively I should install kubuntu? [01:10] bazaar never heard about it [01:10] I am running 8.10 if it helps [01:10] greghere, also what type of video card are you using and drivers? [01:10] did not know 64bit needed more ram [01:10] RaceDrv709, its already installed [01:10] Can someone help me diagnose why Ubiquity keeps crashing? [01:10] looking to build out my own custom installation. just getting started though so I'm looking for someone thats familiar with the area [01:10] greghere, sounds like X is screwed [01:10] Yes tried every entry in descending order inc recovery options as well, nothing! [01:10] tim1: it stores versions of files I'm working on. [01:10] on Intrepid? [01:10] RaceDrv709, go to system > Preferences > Appearence and just drag the .tar.gz theme you downloaded in to the window. [01:10] spartan1: get 4 gig of ram then run 64 bit [01:11] how to change username in console? [01:11] spartan1, doesn't need more it uses more. It will suck up more of your availible ram which isyour bottle neck right now not the cpu. [01:11] rhineheart_m: as run as other user? [01:11] Does 8.10 help with the problems in flash? [01:11] I thought you could not go past the manufactures ram specs? [01:11] Can anyone help me figure out why my 64 bit installation of Ibex (or any version of ubuntu) doesn't work? [01:11] example.. I have gregg username and I want to change it to happy [01:11] hey ub [01:11] wiseman, same flash that you can instlale in 8.04 so I don't see how tha tis. [01:11] does that only mean when you are runnning windows? [01:11] zsquareplusc, once logged..what to do next? [01:11] thats not right [01:11] azizlight, yeah there is, i dont know if u need to ignore it from all different plugins or not, but u can [01:11] spartan1: yes [01:12] tim1: another one I use at work for all are doc files is rsnapshot; it will give you daily and hourly backups. I've got ten backups and using about 1.5 the space of the originals [01:12] histo: that's what I figured [01:12] I don't have the right GTK engine [01:12] i have both os two partitions [01:12] Funny thing is that I have the desktop effects and they still work but everything is grey!

You still have windows panel bars etc...? [01:14] azizlight, i can check quickly... [01:14] greghere, Do you have another user on the system? [01:15] is there a JDK management tool of some sort? I have gcj installed, and that's the last JDK i want to use. I'm pretty sure i have sun's JDK installed, but is there anyway to list all jdk installed and let me choose the one I want to use? [01:15] wiseman, ahh. Thats odd You can try installling the newest version from adobe and see if that cures your problems. [01:15] histo, no I have nothing, but whilest fiddling, I pushed the mouse wheel and the descktop cube rotated [01:15] Alien_Freak, dpkg -l | grep java [01:15] histo: I'll try that [01:15] histo, no other user. [01:15] Alien_Freak: update-alternatives --list java [01:15] but usually firefox keeps everything pretty well updated on its own [01:16] Alien_Freak: and with --config you can select the version you want (run with sudo) [01:16] intrepid is amazing just cant be asked to configure every thing :( [01:16] greghere, okay hit ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a text terminal and log in. Then try mv .gconf .gconf.old Then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [01:16] azizlight, i cant seem to find a global option for all compiz plugins, but maybe under the windows management tab [01:17] I'm trying to update from 7.04 to 7.10 and I get a 404 on http://ubuntu.ynet.sk/pool/... =( [01:17] greghere, that will move all of your startup settings etc... to antoerh folder. So you can see if its an issue with something you set. Then restart X [01:17] azizlight atleast i know u can, well now that i think about it maybe in window rules or something.. [01:17] histo, ok logged in on terminal :) [01:18] wiseman, you can check which version you have by navigating to about:plugins in your browser [01:18] pluma: 7.04 has reached EOL, and you may find the mirrors are going offline. Try http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [01:18] pluma: (the third party repos go offline first, a.u.c will go offline within the next few months) [01:18] pluma, that is a third party repo looks like. [01:18] can anyone tell me how to set my system time to utc? [01:18] nbeebo: I checked windows rules but nothing under there to completely exclude a single app [01:18] pluma, that wouldnt' be officially supported here. You can System > Administration > Software Sources and remove the third party repo and try to update. [01:18] histo: Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 [01:19] is that the latest? [01:19] need some serious help, How can I list all desktop users, I miss typed the main login users name [01:19] wiseman, i'm running 10.0 [01:19] histo: it 404s on the kernel, I think. [01:19] cheesebender: the internal clock should already be UTC. what application do you want to change? gnome? [01:19] pluma, that 404 is for .ynet.sk which is not an official repo. [01:19] azizlight, hmmm... i know u can do it atleast [01:19] I tried users but this only shows me root [01:19] my irc client and my browser [01:19] histo: lemme check that out [01:19] pluma, I would remov the repo the sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [01:19] guys .. i want to mount my ntfs partition on boot .. i have something in fstab but it isn't mounting automatic .. any ideas ?

[01:20] !ntfs > macjason0607 [01:20] macjason0607, please see my private message [01:20] histo: Oh, right. I noticed it was set to a different server. So the main server should work? [01:20] azizlight :D no problem [01:20] spartan2276: from a command line cat /etc/passwd. it'll show you all of the users, system and desktop too. [01:20] pluma, yep [01:20] greghere, any luck? [01:20] Thanks. I'll try that then. [01:20] histo, .. thanks i will read it .. i already did something in my fstab .. will it mess it up ? [01:20] zsquareplusc, I tried it but it won't work: sudo -u gregg [01:20] cheesebender: the TZ variable controls the displayed timezone. so "TZ= date" shows UTC for example [01:21] how do I upgrade the latest version of Amarok 2.0? I thought it would automaticly do it through the repos.. I have 8.10 [01:21] macjason0607, you can just remove what you've already done not really a big deal. As long as you leave the other stuff alone like the mounting of / /swap and /home if you have one. [01:21] ok [01:21] zsquareplusc, where would i set that? [01:21] !info amarok [01:21] amarok (source: amarok): versatile and easy to use audio player for KDE. In component main, is optional.

[02:18] greghere: dunno. probably some .folder [02:18] pckchem: the problem is that I am looking for a audio player, thats able to utilize gstreamer features... Gstreamer has a lot of codecs that are shared between apps, it is the future... [02:18] zsquareplusc: hehe, you call them folders? [02:18] pckchem: IT and MID are supported withing gstreamer. [02:19] phix: hm? [02:19] zsquareplusc, Thanks thats helpful [02:19] phix: drawers? directories? things that list files? [02:21] pckchem: Banshee seems to play it, but the interface is kinda strange,.. and MONO.... do you know anything python/C based?... [02:21] https://launchpad.net/~freenx-team/+archive writes: "PPA for FreeNX Team". What does 'PPA' mean? [02:22] bullgard4: personal package archive. it should hold .deb [02:22] pckchem: BMPx is pretty unstable.. QuodLibet+Exaile have no support for MID/IT.. [02:22] zsquareplusc: Thank you. [02:22] zsquareplusc: :) [02:23] leave ubuntu [02:23] zsquareplusc: I prefer cuboards === danopia__ is now known as danopia [02:23] ShinobiTeno: Let me think, ever since I found banshee i havn't done much experimenting with media players. [02:24] Under the GNOME main menu (the same one from openSUSE) how would I change my favorite apps etc? [02:24] ShinobiTeno: VLC? It's QT based. [02:24] pckchem: vlc has its own codecs.. it doesnt use gstreamer... [02:24] Any way to do a repair in Ubuntu? [02:25] My package management system on Ubuntu is broken. I added intrepid-propsed and did and update and it failed to install the kernel update. Now it tells me to run dpkg -configure -a but the following is my output. Now I can't do anything, and every time I run that command I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78530/ [02:25] pckchem: same as mplayer, wheres mplayer is better afaik,.. but its not gstreamer as well... [02:25] YaroMan86: don't use -proposed (I know, it doesn't solve this problem, but in the future...) [02:25] pckchem: What i am searching is an audio player, that is capable to play all gstreamer formats and have basic support for playlists... [02:26] pckchem: maybe capable of shoutcast or something... would be nice... [02:26] Hai [02:26] greghere: what did you do? [02:26] ShinobiTeno: Audacity is gstreamer, tried it? I'm not fond of KDE so I've avoided it for a while. [02:26] pckchem: no need for media-libraries or heavy interface... [02:27] Flannel: Okay, in the future, but what do I k\do now? [02:27] * pckchem eats foot [02:27] pckchem: you mean audacIOUS? its not :( [02:27] pckchem: It comes with its own (buggy) plugins... [02:27] what compilers do you guys use for cpp and perl? [02:27] ShinobiTeno: Sorry I mean to type Amarok [02:27] ShinobiTeno: Too many audio players with A names in my head. [02:27] pckchem: too heavy and qt :(( [02:28] pckchem: nproblem) [02:28] ShinobiTeno: deejayd? [02:28] what user does php run as in ubuntu? [02:28] phix, did some updates, now on bootup get a grey screen with nothing, no cursor, no desktop, no panels, nothing but grey [02:29] greghere: nice [02:29] nice [02:29] ShinobiTeno: Eina is GTK... real simple but also gstreamer [02:29] greghere: what type of updates? [02:29] phix, yes linux is great till it breaks :( [02:29] Hello everyone === [Sarai] is now known as Wolf_Blitz [02:29] greghere: have you modified your package managers source of packages?

[02:30] is Ubuntu supposed to connect to a network and see Windows workgroups out of the box [02:30] greghere: ok, what video card you ot? [02:30] phix, no [02:30] ot = got [02:30] Anyone know how to fix my packaging system? [02:30] pckchem: checked and tried to build eina today... it compiles but breaks requiring some old library(gema).. Couldnt find deb.... [02:30] but when i insmod cdc-acm.ko. i got "-1 Invalid module format" [02:30] phix, ATI [02:30] ShinobiTeno: http://fuplayer.org/ is python.. [02:30] what am i got do?

[02:31] wookienz: /etc/passwd [02:31] ta [02:31] nvm - got it [02:31] greghere: the catalyst drivers are buggy in Windows and Linux [02:31] greghere: you could try looking at your log files, can you get to a virtual terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 ? [02:32] action [02:32] phix, its been working since 8.04 arrived? And from memory there was no updates for ATI, and i use ATI cards in windblows never had a problem? [02:32] greghere: ATI make great cards but they make substandard drivers, very unrealiable [02:32] k [02:32] ok [02:33] greghere: well, can you get to a virtual terminal? [02:33] I can open the virtual teminal, but the words are off the screen so I cant see what Im typing nor the output? [02:33] greghere if u do ctrl+alt+f1 like phix said u can ctrl+alt+f7 to come back to gnome i guess [02:33] ok nvm [02:33] press the auto button on your LCD [02:33] greghere: that was for you :) [02:34] Tried that doesnt do anything :( [02:34] greghere: so the screen is offset? analog VGA or DVI? if its analog your monitor probably has an autoset mode [02:34] greghere: :( well can you log in anyway? [02:34] anyone have compile the ubuntu modules. cdc-acm? [02:34] I am off line? [02:34] twoornine: no [02:34] twoornine: sup? [02:35] Tried the Autoset, screen shakes, goes black x 2 then appears as it was? [02:35] Anyone know what the setting for compiz to control the bending on fullscreen windows is? [02:35] fun [02:35] hi, i messed up my session, after accidentally deleting the ~/.dmrc file [02:35] greghere: can you log in any way? [02:35] greghere: is it a CRT or an LCD? shake sounds like degauss... [02:35] elementz, that file should get remade on next login. [02:35] How can I get dpkg happy again?> [02:35] people from debian refered me here: I apt-got --print-uris updated and using awk convert them to a wget download script all on a local netless pc. i took the script here and downloaded them succesfully. now I wonder how to tell apt-get to accept these files? is the -o Dir::cache:archives=/../ the way? can I put the packagelists packages and pgps in the same dir as the application packages directory? [02:35] greghere: do you have another computer you can use to SSH from? [02:36] i recreated it via touch, and set user rights to 644, logged out of gdm, and logged back in, but it still claims that user rights for home and .dmrc are not correct [02:36] Yes have a laptop on the network running Mint [02:36] blevuo: Ask in #debian [02:36] #networking [02:36] greghere: SSH and log into your broken ubuntu box [02:36] dr_willis: ^ it didn't at least user rights for home seem to be incorrect [02:36] Phix, yes have a laptop running Mint [02:36] Yahovah: they referred me here [02:36] blevuo: copy them to /var/cache/archives or use dpkg -i [02:36] greghere: look at /var/log/Xsomething [02:36] apart from that, my whole gnome theme is gone [02:36] blevuo: Yeah, because they don't want to answer your question. It's a debian question. [02:37] blevuo: Are you using Debian or Ubuntu? [02:37] elementz, for SOME reason the other day my users home got the wrong permissions also.. not sure what happened.. i had co chmod them back to 655 I think [02:37] phix, yes, ok ,no worries! Just one thing, whats SSH? [02:37] leave ubuntu === a34lkj2348dsf311 is now known as PeterBye [02:37] how do i install java? [02:37] ok so ill just run chmod 655 on my home dir? [02:37] * jimcooncat thinks ssh is the most awesome darn thing [02:37] !java | CostaRicanQuaker [02:37] CostaRicanQuaker: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [02:37] Flannel: Doesn't matter, his question is apt-specific and apt is produced by the Debian people. Ubuntu just repackages Debian testing. [02:38] system administration and preferences drop downs need to be revamped [02:38] organized [02:38] standardized [02:38] I am creating a network of Ubuntu machines that I have to keep separate from my campus network - how do I create a repository those machines can access w/o accessing the internet? [02:38] Yahovah: no, it does matter. We don't send people to debian just becaue their question isnt specific to Ubuntu [02:38] make sure all useful sys admin tools are installed by default [02:39] Flannel: Um, I don't think you know what you're talking about. His question is about apt, not a distribution. [02:39] Flannel: In #debian we just send all the Ubuntu users here because they're generally too stupid to help. [02:40] hahaha [02:40] Yahovah: I know exactly what I'm talking about. [02:40] #debian doesn't want to be responsible for any differences, who can blame them [02:40] hmm [02:40] Rawr [02:40] Yahovah: Please follow the IRC guidelines of this channel [02:41] phix, You still ther? [02:41] I am here [02:41] what did he want, something like apt-cd? [02:41] I can't seem to get my system fixed. dpkg keeps whining about unmet dependencies, even when I'm trying to REMOVE the broken packages. I can't seem to do ANYTHING to fix it using dpkg, [02:41] now now ubuntu is about friendship yahovah [02:41] be kind [02:41] any of u guys play warcraft on ubuntu ? [02:41] anonident: And Linux is about dealing with reality. [02:41] does warcraft have linux support ? [02:41] d [02:41] linux is about lots of things [02:41] phix, tried ctrl-alt-f7 gives black screen and turns monitor off. [02:41] sketch_: It will run in wine I believe. [02:42] run it with wine [02:42] one of them being expanding the userbase [02:42] sure [02:42] greghere: umm what's SSH? it stands for Secure Shell, it is a means of connecting to a computer remotely and controlling it (like WIndows remote desktop or VNC but using a command prompt instead of a GUI) [02:42] sketch_: They won't support linux, but it can be run with wine or crossover [02:42] im using ubuntu right now but apt-get is for debian pc [02:42] sketch_: WOW can be played under wine, so kinda [02:42] greghere: CTRL+ALT+F8 say much? [02:42] apt-get is for debian packages [02:42] whenever I try and install 8.10 on my desktop I get drop into busybox i waited fore 5 mins before exiting but i still wont boot [02:42] leave [02:42] wine is another version of linux [02:42] which is ubuntu.. [02:42] phix, on which machine? [02:42] blevuo: If you're using Ubuntu, you're welcome to ask your question here, regardless of what Yahovah has to say. [02:42] anonident: Some of us disagree with Ubuntu's philosophy of expanding the userbase. We see it as pollution. [02:42] sketch_, wine is a program for linux [02:42] k [02:42] wine is just an emulator [02:42] greghere: on the broken ubuntu computer :) [02:42] Yahovah: Please take offtopic chatter elsewhere. Thanks. [02:42] lol, pollution [02:43] sketch_, its software that allows you to run *some* windows apps [02:43] excellent exactly what i need [02:43] anonident: that is correct [02:43] zsquareplusc i thought about that but do packagelist packages and pgp s also follow the same path as application packages? [02:43] sketch_, www.winehq.org [02:43] it will solve many problems having a winblows emulator [02:43] is there any way I can rename my CD-RW drives (i have 3 of the same model) as they appear in the lists in cd burning apps? [02:43] sketch_, you cant play games through a Virtual machine [02:44] thats what you think... wine solving problems? [02:44] sketch_: sudo apt-get install wine [02:44] phix, lots of stuff, not starting display manager..., running local boot scripts... nothing more [02:44] hmmm [02:44] can u change volume from the systray? [02:44] hmm why not? [02:44] does it give any reason why it isn't starting display manager? [02:44] anonident: Lol [02:44] nah I'm just saying it breaks a lot [02:44] sketch_, theres no support for video cards in virtual machines [02:44] how do i open adept so it will let me add and remove programs? it says i am not logged in as root, how do i get a prompt to [02:44] DefunctProcess, sketch_: unless you pay for VMWare [02:45] nbeebo: I use my mouse wheel over the volume control [02:45] CostaRicanQuaker: use sudo in fornt of the command [02:45] !kdesudo | CostaRicanQuaker [02:45] CostaRicanQuaker: In KDE use « kdesudo » (or « kdesu » for Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! | See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to find out why [02:45] zsquareplusc, what command? [02:45] CostaRicanQuaker: sudo synaptic [02:45] ?? I didn't catch the context, but VMware is free for most versions... [02:45] i opened it from the guido [02:45] if ur running windows xp in virtual machine it can't get to the video card ? [02:45] jimcooncat, ive only got system tray and a dock, but i dont want it in the dock... [02:45] sketch_: Application support with wine is varied at best. It's better with crossover, but you have to pay for it. I believe WoW and Warcraft do run well though, so go ahead and try them out and you can come back here and ask questions. [02:45] phix, VMware has 3d support in virtual machines? If I bought It I could run all new 3d games from inside ubuntu? [02:45] ziesemer_: yes, but if you want to enable 3d support you need to pay for me [02:45] me = it [02:45] Ahh, 3d [02:45] CostaRicanQuaker, Yahovah: always use gksu with graphical programs [02:45] can you assign a keyboard shortcut to an arbitrary command? [02:45] DefunctProcess: yes, you have to pay for it though [02:46] threexk: if you want to [02:46] phix, any idea whats the cost? [02:46] can anyone help me get DRI running on a GeForce Go 7300 === Justme is now known as Guest50058 [02:46] ? [02:46] Flannel: Why? [02:46] it got 3d, but does the 3d works for windows? [02:46] phix: I mean, how? [02:46] are mint and ubuntu similar [02:46] Fixed. Had to install a lot of critical packaged. I'll just apt-get install ubuntu-base ubuntu-desktop [02:46] DefunctProcess: you could try looking at their site for the version that give you 3d support, then google for a price :) [02:46] Guest50058, mint is a ubuntu-spinoff.. [02:46] uninstall* [02:47] Guest50058 Itd proberly be best if you stuck with Normal Ubuntu. [02:47] Phix, what was that command to look at x something? [02:47] then can I use some of the same programs? [02:47] Yahovah: because gksu sets up the environment more appropriately for graphical programs, if you use sudo, you can wind up with permission problems in your home [02:47] AaronX: you dont use DRI on NVIDIA, NVIDIA uses glx without DRI [02:47] they basically ARE using the same programs.. Mint has its own tweaks.. [02:47] is there any way I can rename my CD-RW drives (i have 3 of the same model) as they appear in the lists in cd burning apps? i can't differentiate between them when i go to select which drive to burn to. [02:47] I have a cell phone pda that I want to use but dont know what program touse to sync it [02:47] Guest50058: Yes, all of them usually. Mint is basically just ubuntu with extra installed programs. [02:47] nbeebo: I believe all volume controls show up in the notification area. You can have notification area on any panel you want. [02:47] how do i open the taskmanager in ubuntu [02:47] well how about direct rendering, always says No on me... never a yes [02:47] so i can kill processes and apps [02:47] greghere: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:48] !kill [02:48] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [02:48] Hmm.. [02:48] cool. but I cant install synce on mint any help? [02:48] sketch_: ps aux is the command [02:48] !mintsupport | Guest50058 [02:48] Guest50058: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [02:48] sketch_: System->admin->system monitor [02:48] sketch_: then use kill PID or killall PROGRAM_NAME [02:48] is synce a ubuntu app? or what exactly? [02:48] !info synce [02:48] Package synce does not exist in intrepid [02:48] yeah kill all will be great [02:48] I think it is ubuntu.... because I cant find it on mint [02:48] i dont want to kill all i just want to kill one [02:49] sketch_: killall kills all processes that matches PROGRAM_NAME [02:49] sketch_: If you are not familiar with the command line, use gnome-system-monitor [02:49] no shit [02:49] jimcooncat, volume control in ubuntu is a gnome-panel applet.. [02:49] phix, ok what am I looking for? [02:49] sketch_: replace PROGRAM_NAME with the program you want to kill of corse :) use ps aux to get the list of programs that are runningo n your system [02:49] sketch_: System->Admin->System Monitor [02:49] kill * will do the same [02:49] greghere: a reason on why it failed to start X [02:49] Guest50058, i think you may be confused.. every ubuntu package should be avail in mint also. But like it was said.. we cant really syupport mint here. [02:49] nbeebo: yes. apologies if you're not running gnome [02:49] ty === _trucMuche is now known as trucMuche [02:49] sketch_: kill requires PID numbers, I am not sure about using wildcards with it [02:50] Anyone know how to refresh grub after attaching another drive with another OS on it so that when I use the menu it shows in the list of boot options? [02:50] jimcooncat, no problem thanks anyway [02:50] ps [02:50] wildcards with kill? thats a scary idea. [02:50] :P [02:50] anyone got an idea how to get direct rendering on a go 7300 working? [02:50] phix, Ive been scrolling down and it just keeps going? [02:50] dr_willis: agreed === trucMuche is now known as Guest95993 === Guest95993 is now known as trucMuche [02:50] greghere: yeah, it is a big file [02:50] Im confused.. If mint is ubuntu with extra installed pkgs. why isnt there anyone in there chat room?? there is only 13 as ubuntu has 1306??? [02:50] greghere: look at the dates :) [02:50] kill -9 -1 [02:50] looks like dr_willis is scared from pkill then ;-) [02:50] jenny_Carlos, manually edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst and add in a proper boot 'stanza' for the new ops [02:50] Guest50058: Are you on the right server? [02:50] phix so will an error be highlighted? [02:50] What is Mint? [02:50] hi there, any1 knows why I can connect to a Windows VPN but after 1 minute I get disconnected? [02:51] greghere: it will be prefixed with something [02:51] greghere: WW or EE or something like that [02:51] phix: a fork of ubuntu. just another flavor. [02:51] jenny_Carlos, there may be some grub front ends.. but ive never seen a tool to 'scan and add newly found os's' to grub [02:51] I guess Im not sure/// I was in linux mint in xchat [02:51] anyone got an idea how to get direct rendering on a go 7300 working? [02:51] Amun: yum [02:51] phix, will the dates be at the start or end of the file? [02:51] How do I get perms to edit the file, Says I cant modify that file? [02:51] Server: irc.spotchat.org (port 6667 or ssl_port 6697) [02:51] Channel: #linuxmint.com [02:51] greghere: umm each line should be prefxed with the date :/ [02:52] my keyboard is so touchy ----- ooften a single character is repeated -- is there to fixx this inin ubuntu? [02:52] greghere: or maybe not [02:52] greghere: just go to the bottom of the file [02:52] I just checked out mint... only 3 users [02:52] jenny_Carlos, rember ' to alter SYSTEM FILES - you must do so as root' Thus you need to use sudo to get root permissions [02:52] (this is the same wiiiiiith multiple keyboards) [02:52] greghere: PAGEDOWN button [02:52] phix: its called Linux Mint. it's tailored more towards the 'i'm new to linux' crowd... but... isnt that what ubuntu is for anyways?

It has its own configuration dialogs, but essentially, its the same. [02:53] jenny_Carlos, sudo COMMAND - runs that command as root [02:53] yeah thats an issue I've had as well [02:53] how do you get sudo in gnome [02:53] Amun: yup [02:53] Amun: I just read that after I pressed Enter ;) [02:53] Yeah, I'm thinking I'll remove -proposed. I had to surgically remove half my system, including gdm, to fix my package system. [02:53] ok... got it... thanks to all [02:53] phix ah not even with the nvidia driver? [02:53] anonident: gksudo [02:53] its often a very BAD idea to run the gnome file manager as root. [02:53] anonident: it is a command line program [02:53] phix, no dates :( [02:53] but what it if isn't [02:53] When doing root/system type tasks - it pays to be very very carefull. :P [02:53] I need the openssl developmet libraries. What is tha package name? [02:53] oh ok [02:53] anonident: gksudo nautilus will open up a file manager, but be CAREFUL with that! [02:54] AaronX: the NVIDIA drivers does its own magic, it doesn't require a DRI configuration line in xorg.conf, I an quite quite it doesn't use it at all. [02:54] just in general there are things I run/unpacking something etc, different apps that end up crashing because they don't have root privelages and don't always ask [02:54] AaronX: the properitory drivers has a kernel module which does the same stuff as DRI pretty much, well the same stuff meaning you get 3D acceleration support ;) [02:54] Yahovah, thanks, works great [02:55] osxdude: guess [02:55] well I need direct rendering support for boxee to run without a seg fault [02:55] phix, openssl-dev doesn't work [02:55] Im scared to try this lol, Ill probably kill my system and it will never boot again [02:55] osxdude: libopenssl-dev openssl-dev, something like that, type in apt-cache search openssl dev [02:55] phix, can I do an "over the top" install ala Windoze? === _trucMuche is now known as trucMuche [02:55] greghere: ?

[02:56] greghere: oh, yes you can [02:57] How can I use setuid, to make it so that a .sh file is always run as root [02:57] greghere: but if it is configuraiton file issues that wont solve your problem [02:57] to stop me having to sudo it all the time [02:57] phix, you are right, wow, but its a bit pricey at $189.00 [02:57] Jophish: bad! [02:57] phix, No I dont want to install windows!! I want to repair Ubuntu. [02:57] DefunctProcess: yup [02:57] greghere: ok :) [02:57] greghere: you can try the recovery console too if you want :) [02:57] greghere: reboot and select ubuntu (recovery mode) [02:57] I now know by certainty that the pgps and packagelists are not downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives as ive apt-get updated and seen while as it slowly downloaded the files one by one both that directory and partial subdir didnt receive files [02:57] greghere: then slect fix X [02:57] phix, it's a script I wrote myself [02:57] The error log is HUGE! It would take me three days to read it all! [02:58] phix, are you familiar with it in action? do oyu know of any limitations? [02:58] and all all it does is change the display brightness === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:58] phix ive already done that at least 5 times, and it didnt do anything :( [02:58] Jophish: ok, you can configure sudo not to ask you for a password on running certain files as certain users [02:58] 8.10 missed one feature which 8.04 had: gthumb -> crop -> missing the maximize window button? [02:58] greghere: aaww [02:59] greghere: well read the error logs :) tell me if anyting pops out at you [02:59] I'd rather not have to use sudo at all [02:59] phix, Ive tried all the options on that screen to no avail. [02:59] any ideas as howto setup? [02:59] DefunctProcess: no I am not familar with it in action, I just know it exists [02:59] double click on the windows titlebar does not work either [02:59] greghere: on that screen? [02:59] phix, ok will you be here all night? [03:00] greghere: it is 1:59 PM here, so yes, I will probably go to bed about 23:00 or 00:00 :) [03:00] ah i think its /var/lib/apt/lists ! they look like them [03:00] .. [03:00] phix, the recovery screen you just mentioned.

It does however recognize a 2gb SD Card I have === trucMuche is now known as Guest82690 [03:01] is there a size limit for SD cards in Ubuntu? [03:01] mike18: does it work under Windows? [03:01] mike18: no [03:01] mike18: it would be a limitatio of your hardware [03:01] Phix, Thanks for your help but honestly if this was windows it would be fixed by now :( I'll just bite the bullet and reformay :( [03:01] Anyone know how to enable the dvd player for Ubuntu?

Used VLC and the bugger crashed [03:01] it works in windows vista, now windows xp [03:01] mike18: >2GB means it is an SDHC card. your reader needs to support that format [03:02] hm [03:02] Hee hee, everything works on windows [03:02] greghere: maybe [03:02] i seem to be having a problem with the audio and video that I stream n my laptop.

[03:05] k, hey thanks. I've been searching threads all afternoon. I'll go ahead and try it. [03:05] hi [03:06] l [03:06] phix, How would I set this file to always execute as root, I don't think there is any security issue, as I wrote it, and it is 3 lines long === Justme is now known as Guest44067 [03:06] I've got a computer with no disk drive, a busted cdrom drive, no netboot support, and not booting from USB support -- but it's got an old version of Debian installed [03:06] Can I use grub to install ubunutu from a USB stick? [03:06] how to use this? [03:06] Jophish: what does it do? [03:06] Jophish: when does it need to be run? [03:07] it is a script to change the display brightness [03:07] kupesoft: if you have the infrastructure for netboot, you can make PXE boot floppies on rom-o-matic.com [03:07] I usually run it when switching to and from battery power [03:07] No floppy drive an netboot support [03:07] http://jon.pmtech.com/~jschall/Screenshot-27.png how do i rename one of those CDRWs? i can't tell them apart when they're both named LTR-52327S [03:07] *or [03:07] Jophish: ok, ubuntu does that for you though [03:07] zsquareplusc: No netboot support, [03:08] Pie-rate: why are you asking me? [03:08] Jophish: in the settings panel thingy somewhere [03:08] zsquareplusc: No floppy drive [03:08] kupesoft: yes, you can use the harddisk install method then. you can get an initrd+kernel for the installer from ubuntu [03:08] zsquareplusc: It's an old laptop, [03:08] what do you mean phix? [03:08] MTecknology: I'm not, read the channel description. it says "Official Ubuntu Support Channel" [03:08] zsquareplusc: Oh, so put the initrd+kernel on the HD, boot from it setting the install USB key as root? === Guest82690 is now known as trucMuche [03:09] Pie-rate: oh - sorry... That hilighted me for some reason. [03:09] kupesoft: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/ === trucMuche is now known as Guest31665 [03:09] Pie-rate: oh - the mtech in the site name caught ;) [03:09] sorry [03:09] MTecknology: odd, why would mtech highlight it for you? [03:10] Jophish: you could use gksudo -u root YOUR_SCRIPT [03:10] zsquareplusc: Beautiful solution, ty :) [03:10] Pie-rate: common misspelling of my nick [03:10] kupesoft: that will depend on your network to download the install files though [03:10] Quick question: If I needed to reinstall Ubuntu, but wanted to restore all my settings/apps on the new install, can I just save my current /home folder and replace the new one? [03:10] zsquareplusc: Should be fine, [03:10] Jophish: I mean gnome has the ability to dim your laptops backlight when it is running on battery [03:11] nope [03:11] not this laptop [03:11] n8tuser: Hey! I finally managed to get to the partition section of the installation process! === Guest31665 is now known as trucMuche [03:11] Jophish: oh [03:11] that's why I use the workaround script [03:11] n8tuser: how should i set up my partitions? [03:11] and it's a pain to type sudo every time, and then my password [03:11] kupesoft: fyi, the netboot works from different things, gPXE also has images that can be loaded from grub, USB sticks and more === trucMuche is now known as Guest43775 [03:11] Jophish: ok :) but sudo / gksudo remembers your password for 10 minutes :) you can change this to longer if you like [03:12] zsquareplusc: I'm not really sure what gPXE is? [03:12] yeah, I'd rather just set this file [03:12] Jophish: or configure sudo so it runs your application asroot without needing a password [03:12] Jophish: edit /etc/sudo.conf [03:12] kupesoft: a free boot-rom replacement, you can get almost every PC to netboot with it. [03:12] so there is no way to not have to type sudo [03:12] I thought that ping did that though [03:13] so weird i didnt know u had to do sudo su to get root access in ubuntu [03:13] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid [03:13] Jophish: oops, I meant edit /etc/sudoers [03:13] phix, I'd rather not change a global variable [03:13] sketch_: you should not use sudo su, use sudo -i or -s instead [03:13] visudo -f /etc/sudoers [03:14] Jophish: and add in %admin ALL=(ALL) /your/script [03:14] zsquare whats the diff? [03:15] this will make it always run as root, without any need for password or sudo? [03:15] Jophish: and add in %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: /your/script [03:15] Jophish: that is better :) [03:15] !gksu > sketch_ see link there [03:15] sketch_, please see my private message [03:15] Jophish: yes [03:15] ok [03:15] this goes at the top of the script? [03:16] Jophish: end [03:16] ok [03:16] thanks [03:16] Jophish: well doesn't really matter, but I say chuck at at the end ;) [03:16] Jophish: that way you know where all of your local modifications are located [03:16] ok, thankds [03:16] Jophish: then when you use sudo to run that script it wont ask you for a password [03:16] Jophish: but it will run it as root [03:16] oh, I still have to sudo [03:16] look its zerocool [03:16] help [03:17] could I write sudo at the start of each line in the script? [03:17] or just the line that needs sudo [03:17] i guess we're all hear wheres crashoveride? [03:17] I'm working the kinks out of my Intrepid upgrade, and I'm looking at Xorg (in top) chewing up huge amounts of resources. I'm not running any visual effects (my system is too slow), but the CPU use is close to 40%. is there anything I can do to track why? [03:17] Jophish: make a script that calls your script with sudo ;-) [03:17] haha [03:17] after i typed in sudo apt-get autoremove now i can open up my external harddrive or shut down ubuntu without disconnecting the power [03:18] hello, all [03:18] hi. using 8.04, i am getting the 'error 15' during the boot time from grub. have only the desktop cd which doesn't have rescue mode. so i boot into the live ubuntu from it. looking at my ubuntu partition and i see nothing under /media/disk/boot ... how do i fix the boot problem now? [03:18] that could be in the form of an application launcher though zsquareplusc [03:18] How do i "reinitialize" rhythmbox and force it to rescan my library? [03:18] Jophish: yes, you still have to sudo :) it just wont ask you for a password when running that script [03:18] qiang upgrade to 8.10 [03:18] just got through retagging my music and need the changes to be updated. [03:18] ZeroCool: where's acidburns? [03:18] lol [03:18] sorry [03:18] Jophish: lines that need sudo [03:18] i meant Can't [03:19] Jophish: umm what? [03:19] sketch_: need to fix it now to do some work.. other way than upgrading? [03:19] ZeroCool: the same ZeroCool from Tennessee? [03:19] Jophish: no, you use sudo to run the script [03:19] Jophish: you dont use sudo inside your script [03:19] qiang run wine or vmware to get work done [03:19] yes, never mind that [03:20] sketch_: or virtualbox <3 [03:20] always save your work [03:20] yup [03:20] Jophish: ? [03:20] anyone know what i should look at? === Styles is now known as Guest43229 [03:20] pjKevin: naked women [03:20] really annoying not being able to open my external drive === Guest43229 is now known as Styles [03:20] phix: thanks for the suggestion [03:20] :) my plesure [03:21] <-- installing eclipse [03:21] noone knows what it could be? [03:21] hmm, I can't seem to create an application launcher for it [03:22] what the #$%^&* [03:22] How do i reset or reinistialize Rhythmbox? [03:22] hi [03:22] hi [03:22] who knows iTALC? [03:22] A kind of classroom managment soft [03:23] noone knows how to fix my problem of shutting down not doing anything in gnome anymore...? [03:23] qiang, I think error 15 is your boot loader pointing to the wrong / partition [03:23] pjkevin describe your problem more clearly [03:23] how can u change volume in the systray? [03:24] <__BSD__> kmix [03:24] i click on my shut down button, and then i click on shut down, and nothing happens [03:24] Isn't Synaptic supposed to signal there's a newer distro available? [03:24] where are samba shares defined at now in Intrepid? I know you can define them in /etc/samba/smb.conf but what about when you share the folders through nautilus where are they defined at? [03:24] I also click on the button for my VistaOS to access files [03:24] and nothing pops up [03:24] can u reboot then? [03:24] lgc: That'd be update-manager, and it depends on whether you have non-LTS upgrades turned on [03:24] nope [03:25] try in terminal, sudo reboot [03:25] nbeebo, add volume applet by right clicking on top panel [03:25] kastrel, im not using gnome, or kde [03:25] Flannel, thanks, let me check that. [03:25] yaya i'm sure terminal will work [03:25] ive installed samba.. but for some reason i cannot find "shared folders" under sysem-->administration>shared folders [03:25] hehehe tried it?? [03:25] this is on ubuntu 8.10 [03:25] nbeebo, what are you using [03:25] i'm not going to try that though atm.. [03:25] lgc: I believe that's in a secondary page of software sources, but I may be mistaken [03:25] hi, my ubuntu bootable usb is not working in acer aspire one. it is showing come special characters (CCe(and a heart symboll)) [03:25] help! [03:25] kastrel, avant-window-navigator, trayer and conky [03:25] can anyone tell me why i wouldnt have "shared folder" option? [03:26] kastrel and gnome without gnome-panel [03:26] amh are you in the samba group [03:26] numpy: i should be. i changed it in users+groups [03:27] amh did you login and out ofter the change? [03:27] hi whats a channel to get ubuntu support (having some ldap over ssl troubles) thanx [03:27] kestrel: yeah. aware of that. but there is nothing in /boot for me fix things [03:27] numpy: i did not. [03:27] i guess i should? [03:27] Magi, you're here [03:27] amh give that a go man :-) [03:27] Hmm, this is tricker than I thought. Is there any way I can install from a USB key not having usb boot support with my BIOS? [03:27] i can't describe my problem more clearly, if someone could tell me a config file name for the menu or something, its frustrating not being able to open these things [03:27] how can u change volume from the systray? without desktop environment... [03:28] qiang, you have to mount the drive ie sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/drive [03:28] pckchem: was that 2 me? [03:28] Flannel, Update Manager doesn't say anything about that, but Software Origins (or Software Sources, whatever -I'm translating) has indeed an option in that regard: Distribution Updates. [03:28] myk_robinson: the edit->preferences menu and the 'music' tab; try reselecting your music library location [03:28] mogi: yep, sorry [03:28] numpy: trying now [03:28] nbeebo, I use keybindings configured with eee [03:28] no prob, cool i'll ask here then: [03:29] was running ldap over ssl and all was fine until tues nite upgrade over libgnutls13 (feisty) [03:29] ldap still runs fine on server but clients cant contact server anymore! [03:29] kestrel, yes im using it too, but sometimes its easy to just use mouse... u think i can make it to change volume only when pressing + and -? [03:29] What do I need to run to get a reasonably detailed list of the hardware in my pc? [03:29] Flannel, since I've been quite disconnected lately, I don't even know the name of the newer distro, much less if it's LTS. Should I change it to "All"? [03:30] why are Firefox's fonts such a disaster? They aren't rendering nicely at all, in fact they don't even fit in with Gnome's fonts despite being set the same (DejaVu Sans). I've tried fixing them with a custom userChrome.css to no avail [03:30] auth.log says ldap clients fail since libgnutls13 upgrade on tues (ubuntu fiesty). auth.log says could not connect to any ldap server as (null) and then some lines about failing to bind to ldap server when i try getent passwd. [03:30] lspci, lsusb, lshw [03:30] Smegzor: try lspci [03:30] smegzor lspci, lsusb, lshw [03:30] lgc: LTS is 8.04 (and 6.06) and the next one will be 10.04, 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) isn't an LTS [03:30] kastrel, yeah didnt thought it would work in gnome but it did... [03:30] thanks [03:30] been googling for days now to no avail [03:30] does anyone know what the name for the config file for the menu is? [03:30] is it possibl;e on ubuntu to use yahoo messenger? if ever, how? thanks [03:30] Hello, my installation was working fine but now when I try and boot I get a "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" error [03:31] doors yeah use pigeon [03:31] or does anyone know how to access an external drive through terminal? [03:31] pjKevin: mount it [03:31] numpy: i logged back in and still dont see it [03:31] lgc: As to whether you should upgrade, is there anything you are looking forwardto in Intrepid? Do you dislike Hardy? or is it working out good for you? [03:31] nbeebo, with crunchbang (openbox) super v launchs volume :: maybe possible to map mouse button 3 and 4 for up and down voluem [03:31] sketch_:thanks, if i use pigeon, can i directly see my contacts on YM? [03:31] mogi: i'm a newb sorry, whats the line? [03:31] yeah [03:31] kestrel: it is mounted already. but nothing under the boot/ directory under the live cd. [03:32] try it [03:32] pjKevin: well depends on dev but something like mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt should do [03:32] kastrel, wouldnt it mess up with scrolling firefox etc? [03:32] look in your log files to see what system names the dev [03:32] anybody get hit with the "xorg running at >20% of available resources" issue...? more than a few people have reported this and filed bugs, but they're almost a month old and there's no activity on them... [03:32] amh: :- / you were able to access it before? [03:32] so any ldap gurus in here? [03:32] nbeebo, maybe not with modifier key like shift [03:32] thanks [03:33] numpy: never on this install. i only set this up today. [03:33] when i volume up with keyboard shortcuts, it only changes volume of microphone [03:33] i see [03:33] canyou dual-boot macos/ubuntu without parallels? does anyone have a working guide for this? [03:33] amh: and the window manager your using is Gnome... [03:33] kestrel, yeah.. but only mouse, maybe i can use button 2 then volume with scrolls... hmm ill check [03:33] anyone know a good hardy guide for ldap over ssl? [03:34] numpy: yes, gnome.. ubuntu 8.10 desktop [03:34] what's the diffence between vbox from the repositories and the one from vbox website? [03:34] mogi what is ldap [03:34] !ldap [03:34] Flannel, thanks. I'm of course always looking for "better" in general. Some specific things I'd like to find in the new distro would be better Wifi connectivity (since It's kind of quirky), a better Firefox (V.3 turned out quite processor-hungry and buggy --I switched back to Opera) and perhaps even that my swap actually worked!)

Not sure what you mean by VistaOS button [03:44] notta_k and nbeebo: The one that EnvyNG installed finally got rid of the horizontal tearing I was getting but any game I play I get a complete rearangment of my screen as if everything was chopped into blocks and every other one was shifted down and to the left. [03:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff I went here, and can see my wide open wireless network, but can't connect. I [03:45] that includes openarena which doesn't use wine [03:45] igc, its a mount issue, and it won't mount despite it working 20 minutes ago i ran apt-get auto-remove in between then to clean up some stuff but i think something important may have been deleted [03:45] 've got wifi radar installed, but can't see it that way, only in GNOME's regular network icon [03:45] pjKevin, does 'mount' show it? [03:46] rivitingone, well maybe thats a sign that the first ones didnt work... but have u tried compiz to see if 3d works? [03:46] Oh, forget it. I'm all set. Didn't wait long enough in wifi radar for it to show up I guess [03:46] I've backed up my home directory on a laptop with a somewhat-broken Ubuntu installation and I'm preparing to do a fresh reinstall. Before I do so... are there any other directories worth backing up? [03:46] with any sort of profile data in them, that is [03:46] nbeebo: don't have compiz [03:47] !clone [03:47] 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 [03:47] igc, no, i click on it and nothing happens, dare i say i like windows better when something is wrong an error window pops up.. not true i;m jsut frustrated [03:47] i get a strange error message when running a video with mplayer from the terminal E: client-conf-x11.c: XOpenDisplay() failed [03:47] RivitingOne: my honest recommendations are 1) just use windows to play games. 2) if you insist on using linux, use an nvidia card. 3) If you insist on using linux and on usixng ati Don't play games anymore :). I chose number 3 for myself. [03:47] !automate [03:47] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [03:47] in the k3b copy cd options it has copy cd or clone cd. What is the differance? [03:47] rivitingone, i use ati and it works, just so u know [03:48] i googled allready but that did not help much, seems to have to do with pulse audio [03:48] can anybody make something of that error message? [03:48] nbeebo: sad face.... I hate to hear that. I was really hoping to be able to leave windows behind but my wife and I really enjoy playing together so I guess open source isn't quite ready for me, or the other way around. [03:49] pjKevin, please precede your answer to me with "lgc", not "igc". [03:49] rivitingone, i mean, ur drivers arent set up correct... [03:49] strangely i actually do get audio, but now video [03:50] RivitingOne: like neebo said, you can get it to work. I'm just saying it can be a big pain in the ass, and not always worth your time. [03:50] rivitingone, maybe ur open source drivers didnt work, and others didnt replace [03:50] pjKevin, you need a terminal in order to enter commands. Get one from Apps->Accesories. [03:50] lgc, sorry [03:50] lgc, k [03:51] guess i'll have to come back later [03:51] lgc, i got it working :) [03:51] how do i make cp copy a directoy? [03:51] nbeebo: did you say you use the proprietary drivers? If there was a guide that was up to date and correct I could follow it but every time I find one it contradicts another or is old... [03:51] elementz: what driver do you have mplayer set to use? right click on mplayer , the Preferences menu and the Video tab [03:51] lgc, i installed pysdm [03:51] pjKevin, good! [03:52] jordan_: its cp -r but you should type 'man cp' to get the manual page on any command - they're the best source on how to use tools [03:52] lgc, thanks for giving me your time [03:52] Chrisie: i normally run it from console [03:52] just there abarbaccia didn't like it [03:52] rivitingone, not using anything at the moment, but i had it working with it before i reinstalled... [03:52] jordan_, cp -r source destination [03:52] rivitingone, oh forgot the question... [03:53] jordan_: thats the KEY to learning how to use the command line - you'll get used to it - takes some time to understand the format [03:53] rivitingone, what works is clicking the icon in the systray on a fresh install to enable proprietary drivers then install [03:53] nottha_k: I really want to be able to stay just with ubuntu. It isn't a matter of willingness to put in the time. Its more a lack of direction, information and I am realizing a whole lot of understanding [03:54] elementz: try using a different driver with the -vo option [03:54] nbeebo, u could fix it anyway, but that would be the fastest if ur not really lucky.. [03:54] rivitingone use virtualbox wine or vmware [03:54] !rules [03:54] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [03:54] jordan_, there are nuances with the trailing / look at the man pages [03:54] Any idea how to mount a flash drive?, I've tried "lsusb" and it appears but I can't mount it [03:55] nbeebo: Is there a command or anything that can reset/delete/revert to the original video setup without having to reinstall again? [03:55] pjKevin, now you got me finding out what the hell is pysdm... [03:56] Chrisie: smae problem [03:56] rivitingone, im not sure, but u could reinstall a unmodified kernel, uninstall all traces of drivers then install propieratary [03:57] sketch_: I am trying to get wine working but with limited success. So many guides say different things. Can someone just direct me to a reliable up to date linux information site perhapse? Somewhere that I could do the searching myself through material that was relitivly correct? [03:57] rivitingone, im just here for help myself too, but i had troubles in the past, and i also know that drivers modifies the kernel... [03:57] Does 64-bit now have the 10 flash in the repos? [03:57] Someone know any visual application to mount USB Flash drives? [03:57] sargento: try "dmesg" just after you plug in the device [03:58] rivitingone, and the thing about reinstalling etc, not sure it would work [03:58] sargento: though nautilus _should_ autodetect it. [03:58] hello, i'm curious as to how i can create new partitions / volumes which may be mounted by uuid, rather than device name, as is the case with those set up during installation. i've googled a bit, but haven't found anything directly useful, any help would be appreciated while i continue to try and sort this out myself. [03:59] nbeebo: How would I find out how to do that? Anyone have a suggestion as to where I could find a correct walkthrough/information on reinstalling an unmodified kernel? [03:59] sargento 'mount', of course, and its lighter version, pmount. [03:59] grant2328: Yeap, it should but it doesn't. [04:00] does somebody know how i can rip audio from dvd? I'm using dvd::rip but I don't know how to make it work... [04:00] lgc: I'm new in ubuntu and when I edit fstab to mount it, I get errors [04:00] rivitinone, its in the repository, but i dont know how to replace it etc, maybe just remove the modified one, but dont know how [04:00] How can I contact the repository maintainers? [04:01] sargento, a flash memory shouldn't be in /etc/fstab. [04:01] I want to update from 64 bit 8.04 to 32 bit 8.10. Is there a way to use the updater for this or do I have to start from scratch? [04:02] jophish on ubuntus website it says: To report a problem with the web site, e-mail frank@lichtenheld.de. For other contact information, see the Ubuntu contact page. [04:02] sargento, that is because only fixed mount points should appear on such table. [04:02] elementz: hmm. the user you're trying to run mplayer with, are you in the pulse-access group? [04:03] I have a motherboard with hdmi and after a ton of fihting and alot of help i have system sounds over hdmi so i know its possible but im not getting any dvd sounds, mp3, youtube, avi etc etc [04:03] any idea what i can look for? [04:03] im baffled [04:03] does anybody know how to create a proper guest account without password? [04:03] lgc: Thank you, my fault. How can I know which dev is my usb flash drive. [04:03] RivitingOne needs help with ATI drivers, help him please... [04:03] From the ubuntu forums "...create a new user,new user will have default settings with no reinstallation" Anyone know if this applies to video drivers? [04:03] sargento, 'dmesg | tail'. It should tell you. [04:04] RivitingOne, you could try it and see [04:04] lgc: [ 8859.688584] Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 1939455 [04:04] RivitingOne: What was your question?

[04:05] sargento, then something like 'pmount -t vfat /dev/whatever chosen_mount_point'. [04:05] our company develop open source projects. is this true that we have a unique project in the source forge for any project of company? or we must have one project in sf.net contains all internal company projects? [04:06] i am having troublers with an intel 8201 with no sound need some help [04:06] softwarejonas: Basicly I am trying like mad to install functioning ati drivers for a X800 video card but I don't know which to use. There are so many differing openions on the forums and guides. [04:06] What should I use after dev, I create a folder in media usb called usbdrive, so I suppose it should be "pmount -t vfat /dev/whatever /media/usbdrive" [04:06] lgc: What should I use after dev, I create a folder in media usb called usbdrive, so I suppose it should be "pmount -t vfat /dev/whatever /media/usbdrive" [04:06] sargento, it can happen your device should refuse to talk to the kernel. It might be your case. You might try either trying with another USB port, another USB device or, the old-and-dirty trick of rebooting your machine Windows-style. [04:06] Is $HOME the same as USRNAME/ [04:07] softwarejonas: I play world of warcraft (yeah yeah yeah shuddup ) with my wife but I can't get it to work with wine [04:07] !paste [04:07] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:07] softwarejonas, in 8.10 there is a utility under administration that creates a guest account, I think it is called Guest Account. [04:08] sargento, it should be something like 'pmount -t vfat /dev/sdc /media/usb'. [04:08] rivitingone, can u run the command gsudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and paste everything into http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and send link? maybe i could help with anything... [04:08] where is the location to enter a eth0 command to get access to the net [04:08] <\Kira> is there a easier way to remove files via the command line? Its a pain in the ass to have to empty every directory before I remove it :( [04:08] lgc: I've tried another USB flash drives and there's no problem with 'em. My USB Flash drive actually is a cellphone with modem functionability, If I switch to modem mode, it works, but I can tranfer files to my cell. [04:08] in a bash prompt [04:09] im repartioning my drive, what partitions should i create? [04:09] !ati [04:09] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:09] lgc: sorry, I can't tranfer files to my cellphone because I cannot mount it [04:10] Al1, I create / and /home only. [04:10] Al1: at the very least, have a separate partition for /home [04:10] sargento, from what I recall from my experiences with my Nokia, you need to enable something on the phone in order to make it work as a USB storage device. Have you looked into that already? [04:10] what about a swap? [04:10] \Kira: the rm command has -r -f options , recursive and force. Does this not do what you want [04:10] nbeebo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78562/ That's a pretty handy little tool [04:11] trying to get access to the internet in safe mode ... what is the location of the file to edit it [04:11] Al1, swap if you have spinning disks - no for ssd [04:11] sargento, that is, first, configure the phone, then plug it in. [04:11] Al1: You might also consider a separate boot partition, especially if you want to toy with other distros. [04:12] lgc: Yeap, actually I can switch it to modem mode and my PC recognize it, but when I change my cellphone to USB Flash drive nothing happen. It's already in USB Flash Drive Mode. [04:12] trying to get access to the internet in safe mode ... what is the location of the file to edit it [04:12] kestrel: im on a dell inspiron 1525, ho do i know if i have ssd? [04:12] grant2328, how does a separate boot partition help with multiple distros? [04:12] rivitingone, im swedish, what exactly does depth mean? [04:13] rivitingone, long time lyme disease.. lol [04:13] kestrel: means you only have one copy of the kernels [04:13] sargento, then unplug it and plug it again and try the mount (but it should be done automatically if everything is working). [04:13] Al1, you do not likely have a solid state drive. You want sway 1.5X your ram. [04:13] i have installed ubuntu and trying to make is so that in the startup, it doesn't directly go to windows [04:13] how can i configure windows so that it happens that way [04:14] nbeebo: depth is like if you held one hand at 1 foot away and another hand at two feet away. [04:14] kestrel: ok [04:14] what file do i have to edit to gain internet from a bash prompt [04:14] nbeebo: seeing the amount of distance between two objects in your line of sight might be a good way to put it [04:14] I just unplugged it and plugged it once again but my computer seems not to find it [04:15] rivitingone, hmmm think it could mean screen refresh rate? lol [04:15] lgc: I just unplugged it and plugged it once again but my computer seems not to find it [04:15] nbeebo: nope [04:15] grant2328, isn't having different kernels part of exploring different distros? Personal preference [04:15] lgc: How can I know which dev I must use to mount my cellphone? [04:15] can someone please help me? [04:16] i need some help quickly as possible please [04:16] what file do i have to edit to gain internet from a bash prompt [04:16] rivitingone, i could only think if one thing then, change the fgl at the bottom to match the installed driver, if it doesnt work ur screen will go black... u can still use the command line tho... [04:16] kestrel: yeah, the thought just occurred to me. especially if you want to fool with the kernel in your experimentations [04:16] sargento, I'm not sure, honestly. It probably is associated with the USB port you use. [04:17] kestrel: the redundant data gets to me. pet peeve/personal preference :) [04:17] lgc: Thank you anyway. [04:17] How can I figure out what speed a network link is running at, or has negotiated itself to, from the command line? [04:17] sargento, but have you exhausted every possibility of configuration in your phone?

[04:21] Al1, are you installing on the first hard drive or a secondary drive [04:21] rivitingone no problem i hate problems too.. [04:22] nbeebo - you mean *you* get offended and I think thats pretty lame that all you can do is complain about my language when ubuntu just filled my boot partition screwing me here when it *clearly* should know that it was about to do it. *that* I find rude.

You should format all partitions you install on the first time you install. Reinstall may not require format of /home directory and this saves all personal data.

[04:28] auto eth0 [04:28] iface eth0 inet dhcp [04:28] erpo: Of course it is possible, how do you mean "scan over the network"? Remotely operate a scanner, or simply use one machine to scan and the pick up the file from annother? [04:28] sargento, sorry I couldn't just get you through.

Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [04:36] Al1, so you select sda and then edit or add (I'm doing this from memory) and on the next screen it should let you size the partition. [04:36] oh ok [04:36] that makes sence [04:36] this is not about ubuntu but english ? [04:36] ubd: There may be another channel with speakers of your native language. What is it? [04:36] kestrel: yes and the type and whether i want to format and the directory [04:36] #gays ? [04:37] ... [04:37] haha [04:37] what? :x [04:37] OMG [04:37] <__BSD__> lol [04:37] !language [04:37] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:37] Al1, try ext2 [04:37] I have used ubuntu for a few years now and for some reason 8.10 has given me a fare share of problems... I guess I am not being fare hehe.. [04:37] thanks for the tips [04:37] kestrel: also it has the location, beginning or end [04:37] tulimaq: No, I don't think so, because I've tried another USB Flash drives and my computer recognize them [04:37] ! cn [04:37] slinkeey: really? it's given me the least amount of problems out of any of the other versions. :o [04:37] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [04:37] slinkeey: Problems always come up some time, and if you use the OS enough you'll eventually get hit. Hang in there. :-) [04:38] In intrepid the file open dialogue box pops up with really weird sizes and sometimes its missing hte desktop and one other link on the left and is blank whtie in the center. Is this a common problem? [04:38] kestrel: ext2 for my /home mount as well? [04:38] Sargento, are you having trouble getting 8.10 to mount your USB? [04:38] drive [04:38] Hi all!! I really want to test out KDE 4.1, am currently using Ubuntu distro 8.04 but I am considering installing Kubuntu 8.10. Anyone advises against it? How usable is KDE as a main desktop environment? [04:38] Al1, / in the begining and then swap then /home is how I do it. [04:38] I can't open streaming asx files on my browser from my vlc. What plugin should i install to view these files? [04:38] Al1, ext2 for /home [04:39] kestrel: alright am trying [04:39] al1, make swap twice the size of ur ram, / 5 gb, and /home the rest [04:39] Sargento: If so I know the fix... [04:39] I went throught this myself [04:39] <__BSD__> WahbeN: id' hold off on that, what do you need thats in 8.10 that 8.04 doesnt have ? [04:39] WahbeN: If stability of your desktop is important, I suggest sticking with what works. KDE is "beta" quality software. [04:39] WahbeN, its pretty usable at the minute, i just still prefer gnome although i didnt really give it much of a chance :) some nice touches in it tho [04:40] <__BSD__> plus 8.04 is supported longer, its a LTS (Long term support) release [04:40] WahbeN, you also might be wise to ask in #kubuntu :) [04:40] sargento, strange then ... check dmesg maybe that can help u [04:40] I can't play an mp3 all of a sudden. Nor can I start Ardour, getting jack starting issues. Weird. Anyone else experiencing the mp3 bit in hardy? [04:40] nbeebo: Is "twice the size of your RAM" really needed these days? I can't imagine using more than 2gb of swap... [04:40] craigbass1976: Did you check Launchpad for bugs? [04:41] slinkeey: yeap, with 8.04 my computer mounted it perfect [04:41] BSD: I am really not sure what 8.10 has that 8.04 doesn't the point is I want to start off anew because my current installation is clutered with hundreds of compiled packages etc.. I am currrently backing up my home in order to install kubuntu. [04:41] Sargento: I had the same problem.. [04:41] I remember reading somewhere that you can get away with <2xRAM when you have 2GB of it. [04:41] Let me gig up a thread [04:41] ryanprior, well, swap is there so ur ram wont be overloaded so i guess 1 gb is fine if u dont use massive games.... [04:41] dmulholland: I figured #kubuntu might be a bit biased.. that's why I went and asked here :-) [04:41] dig [04:41] On my other PC [04:41] WahbeN, thats a fair point but in here is likely biased towards gnome :) [04:41] slinkeey Did you solve it? [04:41] nbeebo: If you are running games and they're swapping, your FPS will be terrible and you need more RAM. [04:42] How come i can't print PNG images with transparent layers ? they come out black where the transparency is. [04:42] WahbeN, download the live CD and give it a shot [04:42] <__BSD__> WahbeN: KDE4 is pretty nice as well,,, ummm but personal i'd get Kubuntu 8.04 over Kubuntu 8.10 [04:42] Yeas this solved my problem [04:42] nope. Thought I'd poke here first. [04:42] I didn't come up with the fix.. [04:42] RyanPrior, nope. Thought I'd poke here first. [04:42] If my CD drive is opening/closing and making the noises of trying to read, but isn't reading or even being recognized by windows and ubuntu, it's broken right? [04:42] have a few minutes for me to dig it up? [04:42] ryanprior, well if theres only a few places in the game where ram would exceed just a lil bit the game would lag etc, maybe crash [04:42] slinkeey: Sorry, but what did you do? [04:42] how do i run wine ? i installed wine now I want to run it like windows is that how it works ? [04:42] craigbass1976: It's actually better to check launchpad first, since there may be workaround info, links to Ubuntu forum threads, etc. [04:42] dnyy, probably; you've got a nice drink coaster now [04:42] cdeszaq: I mean I want to run the Gimp on my laptop, and "Acquire" an image by connecting to the scanner hardware over the network. [04:43] WahbeN, also there are some nice touches in .10 such as the new networkmanager that supports 3G sticks (if you ever work mobile) [04:43] Sargento: Hold on.. I am going to my desktop where I had to do it [04:43] (The scanner hardware is connected to an Ubuntu 8.04 server box.) [04:43] dmulholland, I am def a fan of gnome, I was using KDE only years ago and it didn't do it for me, but I've been charmed by the vector graphics wdgets etc... [04:43] craigbass1976: Well shoot, just when I wanted to reinstall my OSs. :( [04:43] kestrel: whats the diff between ext2 and ext3? [04:43] <__BSD__> sketch_: 'wine blahblah.exe' in a terminal should do the trick [04:43] Al1: ext3 has journaling support. Otherwise, it's pretty similar. [04:43] WahbeN, those things die off quite quickly, in my opinion KDE is becoming very Mac OSX in some of its features [04:44] slinkeey: Thank you. [04:44] sketch_: Not even needed anymore. Just './blahblah.exe' should work these days. [04:44] Alright Ext2 is working [04:44] kde got too many options for my like.. and the new gui is kinda ugly [04:44] <__BSD__> RyanPrior: that was kinda rude. [04:44] Al1, ext3 is a journaling filesystem and has more advanced features for the more advance user. [04:44] <__BSD__> either way woulda worked [04:44] Well thanks for your help, I'll be sure to try the live-cd before installing anyways. BSD: why do you prefer 8.04 vs 8.10? Are there many known problems with Ibex? [04:44] dnyy, you haven't got another you can rip out of a dead box? [04:45] <__BSD__> WahbeN: for the long term support :) [04:45] __BSD__: I make no judgment -- I was pleased to find that explicitly calling "wine" isn't needed anymore, and I thought to pass that information on. [04:45] Well I'm on a laptop. Could I use one from a desktop, cause I don't have another laptop layin' around. :/ [04:45] I see.. k thanks. [04:45] My ubuntu wlan0 keeps losing the dns server addresses. If I have it setup to use DHCP it configures the connection properly but doesn't get the DNS... I have added the DNS in the settings and it works fine but every time it reconnects the DNS is gone [04:45] kestrel: it failed [04:45] how to install cool thee? [04:45] theme? [04:45] <__BSD__> you're welcome WahbeN good luck [04:46] !theme [04:46] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [04:46] Al1, I've never felt the diff. Look on wikipedia. [04:46] WahbeN, for me the features of 8.10 outweigh the downfalls but then ive also found a few programs i cant get to work without the old kernel (Intel VTune) but give it a shot and all the best! :) [04:46] Al1, same or diff [04:46] In intrepid the file open dialogue box pops up with really weird sizes and sometimes its missing hte desktop and one other link on the left and is blank whtie in the center. Is this a common problem? [04:46] kestrel: looks like the same [04:46] does anyone have problems with msn staying connected but your friends are not getting your messages and vice versa? [04:46] sargento: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/264789 [04:46] *via pidgin [04:46] Everyone else take a look at this for him too if you don't mind [04:47] Flynsarmy, I haven't seen it apart from sometimes the firefox one opening very small [04:47] dammit i suck [04:47] dmulholland, Yea, super small. happens in a few programsm. In pidgin occasionally it's broken all together until i restart the application [04:47] dmulholland, yea I haven't looked into 8.04 and 8.10's kernel features. I hope all my drivers will be supported ncely. [04:47] *hardware that is [04:47] sargento: Scroll down to where Grzegorz says how the trick worked for him... you just need to change line 59 in 60-persistene-storage.rules === funnyapples is now known as aisaer [04:48] kestrel: perhaps i should reboot, i cant even get the install menu open now [04:48] that is it.. [04:48] does anyone have problems with msn staying connected but your friends are not getting your messages and vice versa in pidgin? [04:48] Al1, i've only installed from the cd and I guess it is possible that the dvd iso you downloaded was bad in some way. It seems you are doing i right. [04:48] kestrel: i didnt download it its the cd [04:48] Slinkeey: let me try, thanks a lot. [04:48] Polygon89, make sure its not in invisible/offline mode [04:48] Sargento: I bet if you check your logs now there is a Sene Key : No Sense message looping over an dover [04:48] kestrel: dvd from ubuntu [04:49] Al1, cd or dvd? [04:49] WahbeN, most of them should be, this is a very low user program which i just happen to need. most people use it on old systems :) its just a change in the kernel that intel need to fix for [04:49] tulimaq, im not. Its just my friends randomly stop talking to me, their 'song' status does not updates, etc [04:49] kestrel: it says ubuntu 8.04 LTS DVD [04:50] Al1, this is the same disk you used last time? [04:50] hey, I tried to remove the init script for ircd-hybrid after I fucked it up, then I reinstalled the package but it didn't reinstall the init script, how do I get it back? [04:50] kestrel: no i ordered it pre-installed from dell [04:51] any idea how to wake up from standby mode? [04:51] hai [04:51] how would you add .html to all files in the folder [04:52] does anyone know if it's possible to install windows onto a separate (bootable) partition using ubuntu and virtualbox? [04:52] Al1, I'm at a loss. All I can recommend is download a desktop live cd iso, burn and try it. I'd recommend jumping to 8.10 [04:53] how can I change where a symlink points to? [04:53] kestrel: alright thanks anyways [04:53] kestrel: i will keep trying [04:53] how can i get openoffice's word processor in spanish from the console' [04:53] ? [04:54] ultra, backup your ircd configs, then do -> sudo apt-get purge [04:54] Al1, you might try the default instead of the manual partition, just to see if it works. [04:54] ultra, then reinstall it [04:54] ddgoose: thanks [04:54] I'll try that [04:54] hi guys i can't seem to connect an rj-45 cable to my laptop... nothing happens. I used a d-link 5 port switch and then tried to connect it directly to the cable modem, but each time it seems that i just cannot get to the www or anything else [04:55] Anybody know how to import photos from an iPhone 3G in ubuntu (using gutsy) [04:55] does anyone know if it's possible for the default formatting option in openoffice.org to preserve the bold setting [04:55] ? [04:56] HI, i got a problem, i have a earphone , but only the left side works , i am using ubuntu , how can i control all the music to left side? [04:56] ddgoose: thanks, that seems to have worked perfectly [04:57] when i listen to some song s , only the music come, but the words are gone , how can i make it ? [04:57] ubuntu prompts me to import photos when i plug the iphone in but it's no joy [04:57] how can I change where a symlink points to? [04:57] huwenfeng: you're listening to karaoke songs.. [04:57] ultra, no problem [04:58] Jophish: remove the symlink and do a ln -sf to point to where you want it to go [04:58] anyone know how to get the spanish openoffice.com word processor from the console? [04:58] can I remove it by "sudo rm LinkName" [04:58] CostaRicanQuaker, if it is installed, type oowriter [04:59] * Inf1DeL has a question. Does anyone of you know how to setup internet connection in ubuntu. I have cable internet and even though in Ubuntu it says its connected i cant browse the web..? [04:59] or will that remove the file it is pointing to kmyst? [04:59] joeb3_, it's not [04:59] how do i get it [04:59] what's the nameof the program for the spanish version [05:00] Jophish: it'll remove the link no the file [05:00] Jophish: i.e. file foo has a symlink bar...rm'ing bar deletes the symlink not the file foo [05:00] Inf1DeL, Try -> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [05:01] ok, thanks [05:01] CostaRicanQuaker, http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#en-US . Look down for the spanish version. [05:01] no , when i use my mp3 , everything is ok. you know , these days , left and right side of the earphone do different things,but my right side is broken , how can i use the left side to accept all the signals, then i will be happy [05:02] is this configurable? [05:02] I'm trying to get my wlan0 to hold specific DNS servers.. it is assigned address by DHCP and every time it resets the DNS server to the local IP of my machine, which obviously doesn't work. I tried protecting resolv.conf but that didn't work [05:02] in ubuntu-volume-control [05:03] huwenfeng: set it to mono...worth a shot...sounds like you got it set to stereo [05:03] mono? === House is now known as Guest91094 [05:03] kmyst: how can i set that ? [05:03] I have a question. I had nVidia problems (with the driver). I reinstalled my system and I will try to update again, what is the best way to reinstall the nVidia driver for a new kernel? [05:03] Because OOB it worked fine. [05:03] but when I upgraded it went to hell. [05:04] Takuya, 8.04 or 8.10 ? [05:04] huwenfeng: that i dunno...been eons since i've done that [05:04] looking though [05:05] Tazbobu: in 8.04 when iright click on the nm-applet and go to manual configuration there is a tab "DNS" see if that helps [05:05] does anyone know how to recompile a usplash screen for 8.10 ? [05:05] yuri123: yes I know that but every time I set the DNS properly it just gets set back when I reconnect [05:06] ddgoose, 8.10 === House is now known as Guest57177 === wos1 is now known as wos [05:06] hello [05:06] Takuya, which nvidia card do you have? [05:06] ddgoose, nVidia 8600M GT [05:06] huwenfeng: what app you using to play music? [05:06] Tazbobu: that;s all I got. sorry [05:07] i am looking for some basic info abt to connect my ubuntu system in internet [05:07] from my local lan [05:07] Takuya, do -> sudo apt-get install envyng-core envyng-qt envyng-gtk === Gregory is now known as Guest39198 [05:07] is there a way to transfer all of your programs and all of their settings on ubuntu to a different computer? [05:08] ddgoose, ah. So should I update 8.10 first, then install envyng [05:08] or should I activate the restricted drivers, [05:08] wos: your settings and files are in your home folder mostly. [05:08] then update, then use envyng? [05:08] can anyone help me with this? i'm attempting a server upgrade, 7.10 to 8.04 and do-release-upgrade errors out saying that it could not calculate the upgrade (possible errors: upgrading to a pre-release version, running the current pre-release version, or unofficial software packages, ...). I suspect the latter. How can i find out? [05:08] wos: for programs, no.. [05:08] Takuya, did you just say you were on 8.10 already? [05:08] well isnt that silly? [05:08] ddgoose, yeah a vanilla install [05:08] cant i copy my disk [05:08] but the reason my driver stopped working was because I updated 8.10 [05:09] theere were a TON of updates, including a kernel [05:09] Takuya, yeah do the envyng install then run envyng -k [05:09] when? [05:09] first, before, after? [05:09] :p [05:09] instead of [05:09] anyone know how to make a simple upload.php script ? blocking uploading of .php files ? [05:09] is anyone else getting a flashing cursor on webpages on their firefox now? Does anyone know how to fix it? [05:10] ddgoose, so run it first, let it do it's thing, then run the security updates and new kernel, and run it again? [05:10] Takuya, do updates then run it [05:10] ddgoose, ok. So don't activate drivers at all? [05:11] if so, then gotcha. [05:11] Takuya, yeah do that last [05:11] Takuya, then when done give it another reboot [05:13] does anyone know if it's possible to install windows onto a separate (bootable) partition using ubuntu and virtualbox? not sure what the limitations are in this process >.< [05:13] ddgoose, ok [05:14] so update, reboot, envyng, reboot? [05:15] Anybody know how to modify the favorite applications, etc in the gnome main menu? === fantomas_ is now known as fantomas [05:15] <\Kira> how can I make a partition smaller via fdisk? [05:16] !omfg [05:16] GodfatherofEire, sudo apt-get install alacarte, then right-click on the menu and click "Edit Menus". [05:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about omfg [05:16] Hi al. [05:16] er, all. [05:16] !omg [05:16] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [05:16] Ahadiel, not that main menu [05:16] lmfao [05:16] omg [05:16] LOL [05:16] GodfatherofEire, Which one then? [05:16] Ahadiel, the one that looks like its from openSUSE [05:17] Been trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell 9400, keep getting a /home partition too small error off the LiveCD installer. Any ideas? [05:17] GodfatherofEire, Uhh, got a screenshot? I don't remember seeing that kind of menu in gnome. [05:17] hey [05:17] hey [05:17] Ahadiel, unfortunately not, Ubuntu doesnt like taking screenshots with a main menu open for some reason [05:18] best line to describe OS testing fubar [05:18] GodfatherofEire, sudo apt-get install scrot, then run it from the command line with a timer. [05:18] So finally got Ubuntu installed woot! [05:18] I've got two primary partitions. One for the DellUtility, one for WinXP Pro (NTFS). [05:19] nice shadow , now install flash ur wifi [05:19] GodfatherofEire, ie. scrot -d 5 [05:19] But I can't seem to figure out why Ubuntu keeps giving me a /home partition too small size error. [05:20] most of the pple in here are noobs using ubuntu including me [05:20] what is flash your wifi? [05:20] tiyowan-> how big are you assigning the /home partition? [05:20] installl flash so you can see youtube videos [05:20] Newbie question!: How do you go about running .exes? [05:20] and install ur wifi card driver if u have one [05:20] n8tuser -> 8 GB /, 10 GB home, 2 GB swap [05:20] SanoSan: wine [05:20] haha yah done I thought you ment there was some pakage called flashyurwifi [05:21] nope [05:21] tiyowan-> that seems big enuff, at what point are you getting the error? [05:21] what I could use though is a way to remote to Ubuntu here at home from my vista machine at work [05:21] SanoSan: install it using app manager, double-click the exe, and away you go. [05:21] and with that, I'm off! [05:21] and u should prob install the gstreamer [05:21] my laptop is still freezing with Intrepid [05:21] nt8user -> Step 4. [05:21] Ahadiel, where would It save the image? [05:21] I'm having trouble getting the Volume control Gstreamer plugins and or devices found. The problem happened right after my cousin hepled me get the wi fi driver installed. What up? [05:22] Never mind [05:22] nt8user -> I checked the iso image md5 checksum, and the cd I burned the image onto as well. [05:22] Shadow__-> putty [05:22] ah the putty [05:22] what can I do? [05:22] fix them one at a time [05:22] I need to fix Ubuntu 8.04, (was going to reformat but need emails and files) [05:22] tiyowan-> did you select to make your own partition size? [05:23] Ahadiel: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2rrtrw3&s=4 [05:23] I'm having trouble uploading a torrent with transmission. I have created a torrent file, then I went to my tracker and uploaded it. Now I want to seed it, so I went to file>open and added the torrent file on my harddrive but the bar is read and it says downloading. Shouldn't it be green? All the files are on my computer already. [05:23] nt8user -> I managed to install Ubuntu successfully the first time, but then I uninstalled it in order to play around with the DellRestore partition (I deleted it), the only thing I did was install Partition Magic, but then I uninstalled it; now when I tried installing Ubuntu again, it gives me this error. [05:23] Ahadiel: I think the synaptic package is gnome-main-menu [05:24] nt8user -> I use manual; but the error shows up in guided mode as well. [05:24] GodfatherofEire, Hrm, are you able to right-click on any of the programs in the menu? [05:24] GodfatherofEire: you can use right-click on the ones already there. you'll see an option to remove them. to add more, go to More Applications and right-click on the ones you want to add and you'll see that option. [05:25] is anyone interested in a couple of simple apt-get update script generators for computers that have no internet? dont confuse these with the generate download script of synaptic, that is for packages. i mean for the packagelists themselves. i just made some [05:25] Ahadiel, yep, just the remove option, but I stovicek just gave me my answer, so thanks to both of you for your help [05:26] nt8user -> Do you think Partition Magic screwed up my MBR or something? [05:26] stovicek quick question though, on the system panel there, is there any way to add synaptic or anything? [05:26] Anyone here have an MCP55 ethernet card that they can coax into working on 8.10? [05:26] What is the command to start gnome desktop [05:26] wait, never mind. problem solved. I just copied the files to my desktop where transmissionputs everything sorry to bother you guys [05:26] I'm struggling with one, historically I've gotten this exact system to work with ubuntu but this one will simply not cooperate [05:27] ravalox -> Have you checked the hardware compatibility list on the Ubuntu forums? [05:27] !hcl [05:27] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [05:27] GodfatherofEire: I'm not really sure. I bet there's a way but I'd only be guessing at this point. [05:27] my laptop is still freezing with the new kernel [05:27] Thanks stovicek [05:28] no problem [05:28] what is the command to install gnome desktop? [05:28] Is there a usually-right solution to a low volume on laptop speakers across all of ubuntu? My friend is currently really frustrated with ubuntu, and this low volume thing isn't helping. All his volume sliders are maxed out. HDA Intel [05:28] Stovicek, guess its just drag and drop [05:29] It's worked before [05:29] So anyone else get this /home partition is too small error while installing intrepid? [05:29] :-) [05:29] It's only in 8.10 where a lot of things have gone very wrong. [05:29] if I need some legal advice.. is there a room I can go to>? [05:29] 8.10 has been full of problems for me. [05:29] tiyowan-> why are you even in guided mode? use manual [05:29] GodfatherofEire: I see what you mean. Nice find. [05:29] Yeah, I tried using Fedora 10 because 8.10 is such a problem [05:30] tiyowan-> also spell my nick correctly, or ill miss your responses [05:30] How can I start gnome desktop environment? [05:30] Thanks stovicek, just figured it'd be worth a shot, and I guess it works [05:30] n8tuser -> Oops. Sorry. I did use manual. The msg pops up even in manual. [05:31] tiyowan-> dont worry about it? and continue on, it should format an 8 gig for you if thats what you assigned it.. [05:31] hey simple question: can i burn a 700mb iso to dvd instead? [05:31] greghere: /etc/init.d/gdm start that might work [05:31] How do I start gnome desktop? [05:32] Thanks I'll try :) [05:32] yuri123-> you can but may have not the same effect of being bootable? [05:32] n8tuser -> Tried doing that. When it actually starts installing the system files, the progress bar stops at around 20% and an I/O error pops up. [05:32] e [05:32] so burning xubuntu 8.10 to dvd will not boot? [05:33] tiyowan-> you proly really have a bad hard disk.. [05:34] n8tuser -> Hmm. That's odd. Chkdsk doesn't show anything. Maybe something happened to my CD? [05:34] CostaRicanQuaker, for OpenOffice en español try this link http://download.openoffice.org/other.html and select the DEB file [05:35] dublpaws, I managed to start in "failsafe gnome" mode and it worked. So now how do I fix it so that it starts normally? [05:36] greghere: not sure. [05:36] n8tuser -> Yep. I tried burning another Ubuntu disc using Nero. The verify failed. [05:37] Btw. If you any of you guys have trouble burning Ubuntu discs on a Dell 9400, you need to *uninstall* Demon Tools, alcohol, PowerISO, etc. [05:37] greghere: did you get a graphical login box before going into failsafe gnome? [05:38] what does it mean when you not download all repository indexes [05:38] tiyowan, try burning a the slowest speed [05:38] tiyowan-> okay === schlort_ is now known as schlort [05:39] dublpaws, yes i entered my uname /pword [05:39] greghere: there should be an option to select the window manager at the bottom left of that screen [05:40] dublpaws, yes thats what I did and selected failsafe gnome, then my user name and pword [05:40] greghere: there isn't a regular plain old "Gnome"? [05:40] man, gnomebaker is awful, I dont know what it is but it doesnt burn any disc for me [05:40] is there anything I can run that would tell me for sure if my neighbor or anyone is on my wireless network [05:40] govinda: k3b [05:41] dublpaws, It said "failsafe gnome"?? [05:41] greghere, yes [05:41] Fezzler: yea.. log into your router and look at how many connections with ip there are.. [05:41] scunizi, no qt for me, thanks. [05:41] govinda: gnomebkaer is known to be awful, you should use wodim [05:41] what does it mean when you can't download all repository indexes [05:41] Monkeyface: precisely what it says [05:42] dublpaws, so now Im in the os where do i look for problems of not starting rightly. [05:42] scunizi: not sure my router tells me that? [05:42] The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct. [05:42] scunizi: command line option? [05:42] Fezzler-> dont worry about it, you dont type fast enuff nor your neighbor to slow down your connection [05:43] is there a program to see what files are located where on my harddisk? I want to see which ones are fragmented. [05:43] Fezzler: not that I'm aware of but there probably is one.. nmap maybe [05:44] dublpaws, if i try to start normal I get the logon username and password, then grey desktop with nothing. but compiz still works although all grey [05:44] can someone help me reinstall grub, i've followed the directions twice and it still boots to windows without giving me the option to press esc and choose ubuntu [05:44] will compiling the alsa driver snapshot cause any problems when the official version is pushed through the repositories? [05:44] lianimator: I'm not sure what you are asking for. [05:45] hez could i get ubuntu on a blank hard drive insteading of mounting [05:46] scunizi: where in my router. Status? [05:46] Anyone in here use photoshop CS3 in wine? [05:46] cfedde: while checking the integrity of some files in Transmission, some are very slow, while some are very fast. I wanted to see if the slow ones are fragmented. [05:46] can someone help me reinstall grub, i've followed the directions twice and it still boots to windows without giving me the option to press esc and choose ubuntu [05:46] dublpaws, i think my problem is in X so how do I edit it? [05:47] Monkeyface: don't do that [05:47] greghere: are you using nvidia? [05:47] what [05:47] Another problem: Transmission often displaces my files to my Desktop. I have it in startup. The files are in another partition, completed, but Transmission will download them again on the Desktop. [05:47] lianimator: filesystem fragmentation will not have impact on transmission speed. [05:48] Uh oh [05:48] lianimator: how are you transmitting files? [05:48] I gots a problem now [05:48] I restarted the computer and now all of my toolbars are gone [05:48] top and bottlm [05:48] dublpaws, no ATI [05:49] cfedde: I'm referring to the bittorrent program Transmission. They speed difference is when verifying local data.. it's scanning the files to check which parts are downloaded. [05:49] Is there a program that will help me use the webcam installed in my laptop? [05:49] ChrisDavaz: i use cheese [05:50] wiseman, cool i'll try it out, thanks [05:50] It was a little buggy with mine though [05:50] So my toolbars vanished, can anyone help me with that? [05:50] Hello all, I recently installed kubunto on my desktop and cannot get also to recognize my sound card. It worked initially but then the card switched from my PCI sound to my onboard, after using asoundconf to set it to the PCI card it worked until I rebooted now also says it cannot find dafault card. Any help woud be greatly appreciated! [05:50] s/also/alsa [05:50] hi .. i have a problem ... i just updated from 8.04 to 8.10 ... and now my sony dvd burner wont accept dvd-r .. what could be the problem ?? it worked perfectly fine with 8.04 === knoppix is now known as tater [05:51] lianimator: ah. so you are looking for a tool to report file statistics in the files you've recieved using Transmission. [05:51] will compiling the alsa driver snapshot cause any problems when the official version is pushed through the repositories? [05:51] could i get ubuntu on a blank hard drive [05:51] instead of mounting [05:51] vegombrei: Do you have dvdrtools installed? [05:52] what is the definition of 8.10 vs 8.04? why i ask? i upgrade from 8.04. and kernel still runs the 2.6.old version [05:52] cfedde: kind of. a map of where the chunks of the file are physically located would be ideal. [05:53] anyone know a good tutorial on remote desktop to ubuntu from vista useing tightVNC [05:53] cfedde: something similar to gparted's visual map of the partitions, except for files. [05:53] Shadow__-> use google to search for one [05:53] lianimator: I guess I'm not going to be much use to you. I thought you were talking about filesystem fragmentation. [05:54] will do [05:54] Shadow__, try here: http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=40&Itemid=63 [05:54] i made a /home partition so i can reinstall the OS but not have to recover my home directory. this has worked great, however the extra users i created have not been pulled over. when i try to create a user with the desired home directory, it says that directory already exists [05:54] what is command to edit xorg? [05:54] cfedde: I just assumed somes files are scanning at 20 MB per sec while some are at 200 MB/sec [05:54] cfedde: is due to file fragmentation [05:54] chipbuddy-> what users are listed if you do ls -la /home ? [05:55] Shadow__, vnc to ubuntu is slow, i just tried it few days ago [05:56] n8tuser there are 3. my administrator (which works) and then 2 non-admins [05:56] lianimator: Fragmentation in bittorrent destination files is just normal sparse file allocation. It has little to do with filesystem fragmentation. [05:57] Can anyone inform me where my default alsa snd card is set? It seems to be improperly configured on my machine. [05:57] I'd just like to start and stop torrents while I'm at work [05:57] or grab files on the go [05:58] cfedde: does ext2 and ext3 make a difference? [05:58] lianimator: i think you mightbe looking for something like 'fsview' [05:58] Shadow__: are you behind a nat router? [05:58] lianimator: nope. [05:58] onetinsoldier: fsviewer? [05:58] okay i'm editing my grub menu so it sees windows again in the list.. what command so i use to get the results of my hard drives to look like hd0,0 or hd0,3 etc instead of sda1 etc [05:59] No sound in ZSNES. Any ideas how to fix it? [05:59] !xfs [05:59] xfs is a high-performance journaling filesystem originally developped by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX OS. It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS [05:59] lianimator: fsview [05:59] !jfs [05:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about jfs [05:59] lianimator: My confusion is that both bittorrent and the ext3 (and ext2) file system use the term "fragmentation" they mean something different in each context. [05:59] jayde_drag0n: Just turn a's to 0, and the numbers = number -1 [05:59] !ext3 [05:59] ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [05:59] fr500, yes [05:59] lianimator: you want a graphical util? [05:59] !reiserfs [05:59] reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html [05:59] onetinsoldier: preferably [05:59] * gregarei wonders if that is considered spamming [05:59] chipbuddy: private message the bot? [05:59] morning guys [05:59] lianimator: yeah, fsview === knoppix is now known as tater [06:00] Shadow_ just forward the vnc port 5900 to your inside ip [06:00] qar oops... i wasn't aware you could do that [06:00] and whoever is asking about filesystems, XFS owns your face, JFS is kind of cool, reiser for DB with small files, ext2/3 are pretty nub [06:00] can someone please tell me how to set virtualbox up so that it uses the correct kernel module? [06:00] onetinsoldier: where can I find it? I found fsviewer in the repos. and googling fsview gave me plugin for konqueror. I'm using gnome. [06:00] fr500, cool thanks [06:00] chipbuddy-> thats the way it is supposed to be right? [06:01] goldmetal: what were you using it for? I mean what was so slow about it [06:01] with file systems, will your truly notice any difference? [06:01] vinaduro_: apt-cache search virtualbox | grep `uname -r` [06:01] Shadow_ that is unsafe though [06:01] gregarei: okay.. so my linux hard drive is sda1 and my windows partition is sda2 so linux is hd0,1 and windows is hd0,2??? [06:01] To expand on qmr, XFS is very stable for the performance it offers, just dont power off without shutting down, ext2/3 are VERY stable but with a performance cost, reiser uses space very efficiently [06:01] hi, i use Pidign and i want to add a "Send" button to the chat panel. Can anyone do it? [06:01] you could do secure ssh through VNC lookup ssh tunnel in google [06:01] n8tuser that's what the home directory should look like, however the extra users aren't working. i can't create a user with that name (the home directory already exists) and i can't log in with the old user's name and password [06:01] qmr: thanks [06:01] lianimator: i'm in kde... and i have to admit something. i'm not using ubuntu. standard debian here [06:01] xishere: in the preferences [06:01] fr500: as far as I know there really isn't a safe way to remote lol [06:01] chipbuddy-> why are you recreating those users? [06:02] goldmetal, what were you using it for? I mean what was so slow about it [06:02] Shadow__: of course there is, VNC thru ssh is pretty secure [06:02] jayde_drag0n: hda0,0 and hd0,1 [06:02] You can power off an XFS machine just fine. it's just likely that you will lose data if cache is dirty [06:02] and using a VPN is safe too [06:02] n8tuser i reinstalled the os (upgraded to 8.10) and i want those users to have an account [06:02] jayde_drag0n: oops, hd0,0 and hd0,1 [06:02] Shadow__, gnome, click menu. so slow. please change your nick otherwise i will not talk to you [06:02] xishere: no no, hold on. [06:02] chipbuddy-> easy to change those other users passwords, sudo password thoseuser i think that should work [06:02] xishere: in plugins, Send Button. === Shadow__ is now known as WDC [06:03] qmr: Yes, so for those of us who dont like orphaned files chosen at random its not a good idea. [06:03] chipbuddy-> do they have entries in /etc/passwd ? [06:03] qmr: it doesn't get any hits [06:03] better nick? lol [06:03] with file systems, will your truly notice any difference? [06:03] lianimator: i just took a look on google at fsviewer.. it's not the same thing as fsview, not at all. [06:03] lol [06:03] vinaduro_: what kernel are you using? did you compile it yourself? [06:03] n8tuser nope, only my account has an entry [06:03] Static--: Depending on what your doing your filesystem choice can make a very large impact on performance. [06:04] chipbuddy-> you can create the user entry in /etc/passwd try sudo vipw [06:04] Static--: notice? not really. it will exist though [06:04] hmm === Administrator__ is now known as metbsd [06:04] onetinsoldier: yes, I saw that and removed it. [06:04] qmr: Linux hadron 2.6.24-22-generic, and no I just upgraded to that kernel version [06:04] ive been using ext3, seems fine [06:04] Static--: XFS is clearly best choice, since it has an X [06:05] I have to agree with that. :) [06:05] Static--: Again, it all depends on what you are doing. [06:05] qmr: if I search for virtualbox modules, I the closest I find to my kernel is 2.6.24-21-generic [06:05] n8tuser so to bring these users over i'll have to manually edit the password file? that doesn't seem safe [06:05] Now, does anyone know how I can access my alsa configuration file to specify what my default sound driver is? [06:05] work box, terminal sessions, remotes, server side stuff... [06:06] ext3 has treated me fine [06:06] gregarei: can i sudo apt-get install dvdr tools ??? [06:06] lianimator: want to see a screenshot of fsview? [06:06] Static--: Sounds like not too much file modification [06:06] vegombrei: One word [06:06] chipbuddy-> what do you meant not safe? vipw its the common operating procedure in unix to modify users account [06:06] onetinsoldier: yes. would it make me what to get konqueror? [06:06] I think ext3 is more reasonable for PCs. No one can tell when the power fails.... [06:06] gregarei: nah not to much, so i guess it doesnt matter [06:06] lianimator: this screenshot is kinda fuzzy, ughh, but here it is.. http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=106328194820658&q=p3 [06:07] lianimator: when you hover your mouse over a file in the window.. it tells you where the file is located === tux7897 is now known as tux7897afk [06:07] onetinsoldier: wow, I want that. [06:07] gregarei: done ... should i try burning a dvd now ? [06:08] lianimator: i thought you would... it's very nice. it's only in kde i guess [06:08] qmr: when start virtualbox up, it says " * No suitable module for running kernel found." [06:08] vegombrei: If you like [06:08] hi, i have problem [06:08] n8tuser, ok thanks, i'll give it a shot [06:08] hi, i use Pidign and i want to add a "Send" button to the chat panel. Can anyone do it? [06:08] onetinsoldier: I found Gdmap. [06:09] lianimator: roger that [06:09] chipbuddy-> btw there are additional steps you may have to do, like making sure the uid/gid is correct [06:11] since installing ubuntu 8.10, there are times that my computer just freezes up, the caps lock and scroll lock keys just start flashing on and off. This never happened on any other version of ubuntu. Any ideas? [06:11] Anyone know where to put startup scripts in Ubuntu Interpid? [06:12] onetinsoldier: I'm not sure if they represent the physical place on the disk.. and it doesn't have the filenames inside the squares.. [06:12] MasterNetra: rc.d ? [06:12] @Kevin_ That sounds like a kernal panic to me [06:12] Its the offical release of 810 [06:12] lianimator: yeah.. i just installed it and tried. not as nice as the kde one [06:13] 8.10* [06:13] onetinsoldier: gdmap is to view the files and compare the sizes. [06:13] onetinsoldier: not really what I was hoping for. [06:13] MasterNetra: rc.d, same place you put them on any distribution or unix [06:13] when it happens I the only way to do anything is to hard power off [06:13] lianimator: well, why not install kde? [06:13] who is using pidign? [06:13] xishere: I do. [06:14] im trying to setup samba. ive installed it on 8.10 but cannot find shared folder. [06:14] can anyone assist? [06:14] Tetracomm: hi [06:14] Tetracomm: i want to add a "Send" button on the chatting window [06:14] is there any way? [06:14] xishere: I don't know how, tell me how to if you do. [06:15] ok, can you give me you gmail [06:16] Terminator: because i donot register here [06:16] amh, you define the shared folder in /etc/samba/ [06:16] onetinsoldier: I don't think fsview is what I want. I want a physical map of the files. [06:16] sloopy: isnt it suppose to be under SYSTE/ADMINISTRATION? [06:16] in GNOME? [06:17] amh, only if you install a GUI config utility [06:17] sloopy: how do i do that? [06:17] lianimator: roger. well, you'd have to install the kde window manager, or at lest the libraries and then then fsview itself [06:17] hang on sloopy [06:17] amh, with synaptic [06:17] sloopy: what is it called? [06:17] kevin__, on to what? [06:17] just kidding, nm [06:17] sudarshan_hi [06:18] amh, i do not know i use the text conf file, search synaptic for samba and see what it is called [06:18] kevin__, heh heh... get all kinds of responses to that ;´) [06:18] onetinsoldier: thanks [06:18] also, i do not have a "network" option under system. [06:18] italiani? [06:19] lianimator: yw [06:19] sloopy: lol, thought maybe you did :) [06:19] sloopy: lol, thought maybe you did :) [06:19] oops [06:19] kevin__, i have used the nick for 25 years... so i have heard it [06:19] italia? === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 [06:19] ´once or twice´ ;´) [06:19] Terminator: i am testing a plugin now [06:20] is there a way to rest cairo dock to it's defaults? [06:20] sloopy: i see nothing for samba gui. everything listed is already installed. [06:20] reset* [06:20] <_2> !it > alessandro [06:20] alessandro, please see my private message [06:20] ubottu italia [06:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about italia [06:20] sloopy: all the way from 83? [06:20] ubottu italian [06:20] 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) [06:20] kevin__, about that... [06:21] maybe 84 but definitly before 85 [06:21] sloopy: cool :) [06:21] After installing the NVIDIA restricted driver the highest screen resolution I have is 800x600. If I uninstall the restricted driver it goes all the way to 1600x1200. Does anyone know how I can add the higher resolutions while I am using the restricted driver? [06:21] !bot [06:21] 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 [06:22] amh, i will take a look [06:22] onetinsoldier: I've found filefrag. which is closer to what I wanted. but no GUI. [06:22] sloopy: thanks.. im looking too [06:22] lianimator: ahh, interesting! [06:22] amh, SWAT [06:23] sloopy: swat? ok. i will check [06:23] guys, how come in ubuntu and in the debian install, when you add multiple users, each user can go into each other's folders, as compared with the fedora, opensuse and centOS? How do I prevent that, when i setup the initial user, if I add another user, then that user can go into my folders, I don't prefer that, and how do I fix that? [06:23] !newbie [06:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about newbie [06:23] amh, also webmin can do samba config [06:23] sloopy: i see nothing in synaptic called SWAT [06:23] <_2> nossralsuva permission settings [06:24] <_2> nossralsuva it's easily changed sudo chmod 700 ~ [06:24] Terminator: how to install a plugin for pidgin? [06:24] anyone know if there is an option for cairo dock to restore it to the defaults? [06:25] onetinsoldier: is filefrag installed by default on kde? [06:25] amh, it is part of the samba package.. [06:25] _2: okay, that has been an annoying thing of mine for several years, it is only now an issue since i have multiple people using the same system, thanks a bunch [06:26] lianimator: no. remember, i'm in standard debian(lenny), and i searched for filefrag. not available in lenny. [06:26] type swat at the terminal, and then try going to http://localhost:901/ on the machine [06:26] <_2> nossralsuva welcome, just a note; they should only have 'read' access by default. [06:27] sloopy: i just want to be able to have my XP machine access files on ubuntu. is all this necessary? [06:27] onetinsoldier: oh, okay. :) [06:27] what is the website of pigeon? i can't find it on google [06:27] <_2> nossralsuva you should probably read up on file system permissions man chmod and man chown are good places to start [06:27] amh, depends, i think it would be easier to just edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file... [06:28] _2: i prefer that they not be able to read my home folders contents at all, this is great thanks a bunch, i switched over from the RPM family to the DEB family and I now prefer the DEB side way more [06:29] <_2> nossralsuva i'm still about as fond of .rpm personally, but glad to help. [06:29] lianimator: however.. if you meant fsview... it shows as being a konqueror plug-in [06:29] sloopy: is this also required to have my osx machine access? [06:29] amh, as a client to the ubuntu machine? [06:30] onetinsoldier: okay [06:30] umm ... I deleted my logs ... will they be automatically recreated? [06:30] sloopy: yes. i want to backup my osx files on this ubuntu server. [06:30] how can I adjust the options in the gnome terminal so that it does *not* warn me when I'm closing multiple tabs? I looked in the Profile Edit options but couldn't find that value... I previously set it for a different system, and I don't recall that it was in there... [06:30] _2, in Fedora which I have been running since fc4, once a new user is made (similar to windows) the user's home folder is kept private at default user creation, but in the DEB side of life, it allows the users to see contents of each other's folders, that weired me out a bit, and i preferred to stay away from permissions, but since that is the way, I am able to do that, which I am very familiar with chown and chmod [06:30] amh, then yes it will, OSX can handle smb, (it uses samba itself internally) [06:30] Terminator: hi [06:31] Terminator: i did it [06:31] gregarei: thanks .. it worked .. [06:31] Terminator: hmm, are u busy? [06:31] sloopy: do you have a good tutorial for editing smb.conf? there is a lot in that file that i could screw up. [06:32] amh, google ´sample smb.conf´ or ´simple smb.conf´ you will find many [06:32] amh: preferrably you should stick to editing just the last portion of the smb.conf file [06:32] What other chat softwares that can be installed in ubuntu so that it can communicate in YM? [06:32] amh, cp the current one to smb.conf.orig and make a new file from a howto/mini example [06:32] ugh. i wish i just had the GUI option. why isn't it available? [06:33] amh: for example, [sharename], path = /path/of/share/you/want/to/share, guest ok = yes, comment = sharename, [06:33] <_2> nossralsuva well that's not really package management. that's simply a default security setting, while it is true that more distros based on debian follow debian's permiscuous $HOME structure, while more distros based on redhat follow redhat's tighter security on the $HOME dir. but it's not at all package manager related. [06:33] any one use the command XMODMAP xmodmap? [06:33] amh: the syntax is like this, what you desire = yes or no or an answer [06:34] Terminator: Send button plugin: see here http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/info/bb30e9e61b14cc865cdde58cedf9e4fe6e471f79 [06:34] _2: gotcha, that breaks down the mental block I had [06:34] how can I adjust the options in the gnome terminal so that it does *not* warn me when I'm closing multiple tabs? I looked in the Profile Edit options but couldn't find that value... I previously set it for a different system, and I don't recall that it was in there... [06:34] amh, try swat [06:34] who use XMODMAP xmodmap? [06:34] _2: well understood [06:34] sloopy: SWAT doesn't appear to exist. [06:35] . [06:35] xishere, what kind of system? [06:35] amh, what happens when you type ´swat´ and then enter? [06:35] I deleted my logs ... will they be automatically recreated? ... talking about the kernel and system logs [06:35] CaptainMorgan: i am using Hiweed, based on ubuntu 8.10 [06:35] they should zetheroo1 [06:35] sloopy: it says i need to install it.. [06:36] did you install it? [06:36] amh: sudo apt-get install swat [06:36] laptop/desktop? xiangfu` [06:36] CaptainMorgan: see at hiweed.com, from China [06:36] laptop/desktop? xishere [06:36] both [06:36] CaptainMorgan: both laptop and desktop [06:36] sloopy: it is installing now [06:36] zetheroo1, do -> sudo /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart [06:36] I have a wireless driver that needs to be reloaded as part of the resume process [06:36] amh: if you're having trouble installing swat, you could try to use webmin, google the word webmin [06:37] ddgoose: that recreates them? [06:37] CaptainMorgan: any questions? [06:37] How do I do this? [06:37] I'm digging around in /etc/acpi/*.d directories [06:37] xishere, I'm only familiar with xmodmap as it refers to IBM/Lenovo... specifically for laptops, for which I would've referred you over to ThinkWiki, but that's not your case... [06:37] It seems I'm supposed to unload the driver on suspend, and reload it on resume [06:37] how can I adjust the options in the gnome terminal so that it does *not* warn me when I'm closing multiple tabs? I looked in the Profile Edit options but couldn't find that value... I previously set it for a different system, and I don't recall that it was in there... [06:37] ..ideally [06:38] zetheroo1, yeah syslog will complain but will make them for you [06:38] <_2> nossralsuva file /etc/adduser.conf section # If DIR_MODE is set, directories will be created with the specified # mode. Otherwise the default mode 0755 will be used. <> DIR_MODE=0755 <<< that's the security setting that controls it. [06:38] sloopy: swat is installed. i typed it in and now it just returned to a blank line in terminal. [06:38] CaptainMorgan: i use a key press instead of mouse-clicking [06:38] _2: omg, sweeeeeeeeeeeet [06:39] :2: lemme looking to that, i will set it up in my /etc/skel [06:39] how do i unrar files in ubuntu ? [06:39] ddgoose: hmmm nothing still in the Log Viewer [06:39] CaptainMorgan: xmodmap is useful [06:39] zetheroo1, which files did you remove? [06:40] zetheroo1, PM [06:40] amh, now open firefox and go to http://localhost:901/ [06:40] CaptainMorgan: see u [06:40] vegombrei: sudo apt-get install unrar. [06:41] * xishere i am working......... [06:41] should i use KVM or Xen? [06:41] keypress? [06:41] sloopy: failed to connect in firefox [06:41] CaptainMorgan: yes [06:41] <_2> nossralsuva you need to understand octal permissions before changing that. the four octal bits there are special owner group world(other) you probably want to leave the 'special' bit zero always. the others are octal for --- binary read write execute (extra note; dir's must be executable to desend into them) [06:41] on ext3, what if I have fragmentation due to no free disk space. after I clear some space, how do I defrag? do I need a defrag program or can i do something simpler, like move the file, or view the file? [06:42] vegombrei: or search "unrar" in synaptic. [06:42] CaptainMorgan: now when i press the Win key, just like you left click your mouse [06:42] !defrag | lianimator [06:42] lianimator: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [06:42] _2: gotcha on that one [06:43] xishere, sorry, I'm not sure what you're talking about - wish I could be more help. [06:43] <_2> nossralsuva 0755 translates to rwxr-xr-x while 0700 would be rwx------ if you need more info just ask. [06:43] Having a problem with a external extension version of gd. I guess i need to install a php5 that has gd already compiled in. Anyone know what that even means? [06:43] heret1c: installing .. [06:44] CaptainMorgan: and when i press the grave key (under ESC), just like click the middle button of the mouse [06:44] qmr: for interest sake, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose-modules/+bug/303199 <==== the ~solution to my problem [06:44] heret1c: hey i have a question ... i have this bluetooth headset that i can use as headphones with my mac .. i tried to pair it with ubuntu .. it shows up and pairs but it doesnt send audio to it [06:45] vegombrei: sudo apt-get install sbackup while you're at it. :) [06:45] i have a fedora domain controller with samba running, at my little small business (graphical printing) so i get to deal with permissions on a daily bunch, [06:45] untu [06:45] holaaaaaaaaa [06:45] como estan?

[06:45] hello???? [06:45] yes, i want ask you, can xmodmap map ONE key to "Shift+F10" or "Alt + Esc" etc. [06:45] * _2 does sudo chmod 0001 / ### kids don't try this at home!

[06:46] CaptainMorgan: yes, i want ask you, can xmodmap map ONE key to "Shift+F10" or "Alt + Esc" etc. [06:46] i repeat, does anyoen know, for ubuntu 8.04, what is the plugin directory for firefox? [06:46] <_2> nossralsuva k. good luck to your pinguin [06:46] if i am downloading this for the first time and i want 64 bit version. should i get 8.04 or 8.10? [06:46] i love our penguin over the macs [06:46] jganetsk maybe in ~/.mozilla/firefox? [06:46] CaptainMorgan: i.e. ONE key acts more than one key [06:46] xishere, I believe it can [06:46] not sure how [06:47] Ahadiel, that one does not seem to have any of my pre-existing plugins [06:47] CaptainMorgan: ok, can your tell how to? [06:47] i also have the task of getting rid of teh old flash player plugin [06:47] CaptainMorgan: If you got it, plz tell me [06:47] not sure how [06:47] jganetsk: look in yr /home/.mozilla dir [06:47] _2: but the macs make us the dough using quarkxpress, whilst the linux sides run the networks and all our printers and plotters (HP designjets 5500) [06:47] <_2> heret1c no such dir [06:47] heret1c, no files in the plugins directory, i just added my player, doesn't seem to be turning up [06:47] anyone want to help me with my newb question? [06:48] noob [06:48] whats the q [06:48] how can I adjust the options in the gnome terminal so that it does *not* warn me when I'm closing multiple tabs? I looked in the Profile Edit options but couldn't find that value... I previously set it for a different system, and I don't recall that it was in there... [06:48] i saw that the 8.04 version is going to be supported longer, would that be the best one to download? [06:48] BlueEraser: just ask the question, try not to ask us to ask a question, just go ahead and splurt it out and wait for a reply [06:48] jganetsk: did u restart ff? [06:48] heret1c many times [06:49] sketch_: he wants to know if he should get 8.04 or 8.10. he asked earlier [06:49] CaptainMorgan: do you use ubuntu ? [06:49] download 8.10 noob [06:49] it still shows my old npwrapper plugin [06:49] lol [06:49] why? [06:49] or order the cd [06:49] xishere, that would be why I'm in here, yes. :) Now please understand - I can't help you. If I could, I would be happy to. [06:49] Flannel: I've read that article before, and I've read it again, but it doesn't answer my question. [06:49] BlueEraser: i agree, 8.10, get it [06:49] <_2> heret1c i assume that was a typo ? /home/ != $HOME [06:49] CaptainMorgan-> gconf-editor and dig down to gnome-terminal global settings [06:49] its the most updated has drivers right in the install its great [06:49] jganetsk: what player? [06:49] lianimator: In order to defrag: convert to ext2, defrag, convert to ext3 [06:49] CaptainMorgan: thanks [06:49] I added code to reload the driver in the module loading script in resume.d [06:50] i installed it and it asked me if I want to install my wifi card right away [06:50] the 64-bit linux flash player 10 [06:50] but it didn't work somehow [06:50] ahh!!! n8tuser thank you! I forgot about that one... [06:50] !noob | sketch_ [06:50] sketch_: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [06:50] oh i think i got it [06:50] and then after the wifi card was working , it asked me if i want to install the video driver its great [06:50] the old plugin was in /var/lib somehow [06:50] heret1c: whats sbackup needed for ? [06:50] sounds nice [06:50] yeah i got it [06:50] _2: yes. .*) [06:50] did you use the 64-bit? [06:50] no [06:50] Flannel: I was thinking, since ext3 reduces fragmentation, what if I make a copy of that file, and delete the old one? [06:50] 32 [06:50] CaptainMorgan: one more question [06:51] lianimator: Why do you think your file is fragmented? [06:51] the reg one for dektops 8.10 [06:51] BlueEraser: i ran the 64 bit [06:51] jganetsk: backup. [06:51] think 64bit will be significantly more hairy? [06:51] CaptainMorgan: now i write the xmodmap command to the $HOME/.profile [06:51] ok [06:51] but i had some issues like realplayer and other applications which were not yet supported at this time [06:51] it would prob work well [06:52] BlueEraser: yes, i ran the 64 bit,but i had some issues like realplayer and other applications which were not yet supported at this time [06:52] but more pple have the x86 versions sooo more drivers more support u know [06:52] nossralsuva, like what? [06:52] yeah put the reg one [06:52] CaptainMorgan: if you want xmodmap auto-startup, where should you put it? [06:52] Flannel: because my partition is full. it's near full all the time, and the last couple of files I put there are very slow to scan. (bittorrent file verifying). I used filefrag to scan the file. It has over "15K extents where perfection would be 3". [06:52] nossralsuva, other than real player i mean [06:53] BlueEraser: my Realplayer, that i used on the x86 version, did not work when it came to listening to the BFBS [06:53] lianimator: you could try copy/delete, sure. [06:53] CaptainMorgan: now i write the xmodmap command to the $HOME/.profile if you want xmodmap auto-startup, where should you put it?. [06:53] <_2> lianimator copy and del will affectively remove fragmentation of a file in many cases even on vfat/ntfs [06:53] BlueEraser: that is the British Forces Radio Station on the BBC [06:53] would someone mind explaining etiquette to our dear friend? [06:53] i had to update the flash video player [06:53] _2: okay, thanks.. [06:53] i had to update the gstream thing [06:54] nossralsuva, ok, i stream democracynow! on that pretty often [06:54] BlueEraser: besides way more people are using the x86 version so way more pool of people [06:54] !etiquette [06:54] Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubottu ): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !Caps, !NickSpam, !PM, !English - And most importantly, use common sense... [06:54] and install some programs eclipse python java and the java runtime [06:54] <_2> lianimator side effect of doing so on those M$ filesystems is that the fs it's self becomes more fragmented. [06:54] Hi, is there any easy way to resize a window (e.g. gedit) to exactly 640x480? Maybe some command line windows manipulating tool? [06:54] !Repeat | xishere [06:54] xishere: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

Also see !patience [06:54] ubottu: ok..sorry [06:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about ok..sorry [06:55] CaptainMorgan: sorry [06:55] <_2> lianimator i.e. while seeking to right one wrong you can create many more. just a thought. [06:55] xishere: goodness gracious me, you're doing odder stuff with your keyboard than I am [06:55] nossralsuva, yeah, i know that x64 is the future though and though maybe i would be able to help iron some things out, probably a long shot though i know [06:55] alkisg goto system prefs then resolution [06:55] BlueEraser: by the way, welcome to the community, and i hope you learn so that you can give back, too [06:55] ethana2: what did you do with you keyboard? [06:55] _2: you mean, for MS filesystems right? or for ext3 also? [06:55] xishere: www.colemak.com [06:55] caps lock > backspace [06:56] sketch_: I don't want to set the resolution, I want to resize a window so that it is 640x480 (I need to take a screenshot of specific size). [06:56] oh, [06:56] heret1c: you are right, the 64-bit version is crap [06:56] i will check the site [06:56] _2: I read somewhere that files on ext FS will be accessed faster if you accessed it many times. [06:56] What's a nice command line audio player that can take a directory as an argument? [06:56] nossralsuva, why are they saying 64 bit is crap? [06:56] <_2> lianimator particularly M$ file systems but i can't say that it will never happen on ext# [06:57] meaning: I'd like to play all the files from a nest of directories [06:57] randomly [06:57] <_2> lianimator only because it keeps the file in ram [06:57] _2: okay thanks [06:57] ethana2: i want to know where you write your xmodmap command for auto-starup [06:57] BlueEraser: it still needs some work, vista 64 bit, has some issues too [06:57] <_2> lianimator only because it keeps the file in ram << a reboot undoes the multi-access benifit [06:57] Anyone know why my suspend resume scripts aren't being run? [06:57] windows xp 64bit has alot of issues... [06:58] BlueEraser: that is why it has a directory for 32 bit applications and for 64 bit applications, [06:58] xishere: I got confused, gave up, and turned repeat off globally [06:58] nossralsuva, yeah no kidding, 7 wont even be 64bit only [06:58] xishere: I mostly use ctrl for stuff now instead of holding keys down [06:58] _2: okay. I think I understand about caching and so on. [06:58] I only wish ctrl was where ' is... [06:58] <_2> lianimator that's partly why you see linux using over 3g ram on a 4g system. yes file caching [06:58] BlueEraser: i think you will like it here, just be open to change, but accept a chance to learn something new and maybe different from what you were used to [06:59] _2: oh, that's the "cached" that shows up in the memory usage graph of the system monitor applet. [07:00] <_2> lianimator linux is not a ram hog but it does use ram for file caching if it can. my system is using less than 23m right now Memory Used/Total Percent: 22/502 MB (4%) [07:00] _2: on my 1GB. all 1GB is used. [07:00] lianimator: means you're getting your money's worrth [07:00] worth** [07:01] <_2> lianimator not all of the ram use free -m [07:01] _2: 22MB?? really?! I'm using 488 MB/1GB.. the rest are cached. [07:01] hmmm makes me wish i had more then the 256Meg i have... a cpu faster then a 1Ghz P3 would be nice also... [07:01] Hi, I have Linux Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) 2.6.27-10-generic GNOME 2.24.1, with 1 Gigabyte of memory, an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Processor, and 3.7 Gigabytes of disk space.

[07:02] anyone else has seen a PC hard lock-up when installing using alternate CD at 64% (configuring libslp1) any solutions or workarounds appreciated [07:02] ScarySquirrel: never seen that [07:02] hi [07:02] _2: you have a very small ram usage... [07:03] alex_mayorga: first thing I'd do is run the CD check against the CD, then run the memcheck option on the PC for at least one full pass through (normally about 12 hours) [07:03] Anyway, do you know how I can disable the volume change widget? [07:03] ikonia, thanks I'll try that [07:03] hey i have some manpages that i want to read, but 'man' doesnt accept a file to actually open an external manpage. any ideas what the hell to do. [07:03] <_2> lianimator it's intentional. but that's one of those things that only counts if measuring cyber cookiness and we arent [07:04] Can anyone help me out with this volume changer widget problem? [07:04] if i get banned in ubuntu-offtopic can i get banned here too? [07:05] Would someone help me with a problem with GNOME 2.24.1? [07:05] <_2> nbeebo same ops. [07:05] _2: okay. I want to install more ram. when I use vbox to run XP, 1GB isn't quite enough. and when I do photo editing. I'm still deciding if I should increase to 2GB or 4GB.. can't decide. [07:05] any people use the GTD software "Chandler" ? [07:06] ikonia, whats odd is that it always locks up at the exact same point [07:06] <_2> lianimator get 4 unless the price is a problem, always get the larger; time will make it small [07:06] and I'm pretty sure the CD is fine, already checked for integrity in other PC [07:06] lianimator, can never have too much cpu or ram... [07:07] <_2> sloopy or hdd [07:07] lianimator, ditto on _2 and sloopy :) [07:07] alex_mayorga: thats not odd [07:07] _2, yeah you can, i have 1TB on home machine, nothing to fill it... [07:07] <_2> sloopy movies [07:08] -- [07:08] <_2> sloopy while i don't advocate filth, yet to coin a phrase "dl more porn" [07:08] Erm. [07:08] ikonia, I'm running the CD check on the hard locking machine right now, let see what comes up [07:09] I join the channel... and people are talking about Porn [07:09] Cool! [07:09] i have more movies then time, tons of music, and all the contents of my last 10 years of DVD backups, still have more then %50 free [07:09] _2: please keep the topic family friendly. [07:09] hello people [07:09] <_2> Flannel how was that non-family friendly ? [07:09] sloopy: that's the reason I don't bother hoarding. There's no point - you'll never have enough time [07:09] Large disks are nice. You can do things like snapshotting file systems. [07:10] wonder how many TB would hold a whole human life of memories === Bitfish is now known as bitFish [07:10] _2, nah never much into such stuff... i prefered my wife to a pic or movie of someone... [07:10] sloopy: good for you.. [07:10] * ethana2 wishes he was married [07:10] ok... i need some help [07:10] alex_mayorga: it would take many. [07:10] then get married [07:10] Is ikonia the only user of this channel who provides good Ubuntu advice?

[07:10] !ask | Gorilla1 [07:10] Gorilla1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:10] she may not be the prettiest woman on earth, but she is mine :´) [07:10] alex_mayorga, thats a vague question. My grandmother kept a few thousand photographs, and diaries. That would fit on a thumbdrive. I'm filming high def home videos. That takes more. [07:11] GFree: working aaaaaand how do I reload kernel modules on resume? [07:11] <_2> sloopy i plainly said i was only borrowing the phrase, as an expression that goes around IRC continually [07:11] and the 1TB doesnt include the 300G OS HD [07:11] _2: Not here it doesn't. Please refrain from using it in the future [07:11] I already have. Twice. [07:11] * ethana2 cowers in confusion [07:11] Is there a good GUI based download accelerator? [07:12] ikonia: the machine also always blames ccp-4.3 as corrupted, I think it's a memory thing :( [07:12] _2 yeah i know many who consume vast resources for the accumulation of such things... never saw the point, know one guy who lost his wife cause of it... [07:12] Gorilla1: I use downloader for x (apt-get d4x) [07:12] Flannel: sorry to jump on you like this ... but do you have any insight in finding out why a kernel panics [07:12] ? [07:12] Hello everyone. How may I fix a problem where the Volume Control Widget Popup keeps respawning and increasing the volume when I press the volume change button on my laptop? Must I disable this popup widget? [07:12] crap : sudo apt-get install d4x [07:12] zetheroo1, didnt take its abilify today? [07:13] argh -.- [07:13] pain in the a$$ [07:13] alex_mayorga: why do you think thats a memory thing ? [07:13] oh and i dont know any of that command line mumbo...you say its d4x [07:13] anyone with penmount touchscreen around :/ ? [07:13] _2, sloopy, alex_mayorga: 4 it is! price is not a problem, it's a little lower than 2x the price of 2GB. I'd have to throw out or sell out the 512MB x2 = 1GB currently installed. [07:14] Gorilla1: heh, sorry. Launch Synaptic, then search for d4x and install it from there. [07:14] sweet [07:14] ikonia, the CD works perfectly in other hosts and it oddly always crashes on the exact same point and claims the CD is corrupt also in the precise same file [07:14] alex_mayorga: that makes sense then [07:14] hmm in the latest update i can't seem to install linux-image-2.6.27.-9-generic and 4 other packages [07:14] anyone here stream mp3 [07:14] dpkg: error processing linux-generic (--configure): [07:14] dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [07:14] zetheroo1: Besides checking the logs it gives, not after the fact no. [07:15] was going to try it out but I havent tried it with ubuntu [07:15] lianimator: is it for a laptop? I can gladly receive it if you were kind enough to mail it :) [07:15] alex_mayorga: it's for a laptop yes. DDR2. [07:15] Gorilla1: one more thing - if you like it, you can integrated support for D4X in firefox. Install the "Flashgot" extension in Firefox, and you'll be provided the option to download with D4X when you do to download something.

[07:39] ok [07:39] today is my first day with linux [07:39] I'm trying to install Kubuntu 8.10 on a Dell OptiPlex GX260 with 512mb ram and a 40 gig IDE western digital hard drive. It looks like the installer is detecting the HDD as a SCSI RAID...so when I go to install it freezes at "Scanning Mirror" and if I cancel the installation at that point it boots up to a corrupt install which doesn't work. Any ideas what I can do about this? [07:39] nice, Gorilla1 [07:40] How's she treating you so far? [07:40] i think i got the hang of it [07:40] !upgrade [07:40] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:40] love the effects [07:40] zetheroo1, you will need to catch the panic on the tty console and get a snap of it to really see whats causing it [07:41] i tried mandrake 9 awhile back didnt care for it much... [07:41] ddgoose: will commands work with a kernel panic? [07:41] ddgoose: like these commands .... Alt+SysRq+1 followed by Alt+SysRq+t [07:41] brack..are you sure its lockin up o the scanning mirror it could just take a really long time... [07:42] Gorilla1: Pretty sure, I waited about half an hour [07:42] Hi [07:42] are you doing a net install? [07:43] Does anyone know if the nVidia legacy drivers were ever supported for compiz? [07:43] I uninstalled an app, but it still has a link in the 'start' menu. When I go to edit menus, it doesn't show up there. Any way to manually remove it? [07:43] zetheroo1, magic SysReq keys should work if you have a panic, check and see if you have a file called '/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq' [07:44] also, when I launch the LiveCD it will boot all the way in and instantly freeze. The clock stays in the same place and everything [07:44] zetheroo1, if not, it's not compiled into your kernel [07:44] sounds like a KDE issure [07:45] a KDE issue [07:45] your using the kubuntu right [07:45] yes [07:45] try the standard [07:45] gnome [07:45] ok [07:45] maybe force it to think my drive is IDE instead of SCSI? [07:46] I'm pretty sure that's why it's freezing [07:46] because it's trying to scan my SCSI mirror drive which doesn't exist [07:46] i dont think you would even get a clean install if it was seeing scsi [07:46] ddgoose: yes sysrq is there [07:46] no it's an IDE drive [07:46] yeah [07:46] <[c0re]> hi is there any gui font manager? [07:46] set you bios to defaults [07:47] turn off raid === bitFish is now known as Bitfish [07:47] It's just one IDE drive [07:47] this computer has no RAID controller [07:47] i tried to do a fedora install it was doing the same thing you are describing [07:47] ddgoose: so those commands should work? [07:47] neither the live or the install worked [07:47] Hey everyone, Can anyone tell me if the nVidia legacy drivers were ever supported for compiz? [07:48] Tried googleing? [07:48] I think it should work with legacy drivers [07:48] <[c0re]> !fonts [07:48] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [07:48] can't be sure [07:48] hey people. When should one use the i386 kernels instead of the generic ones? [07:48] zetheroo1, yeah [07:48] SmokeyD: If you have a 386 (a real 386) that's having issues with the -generic ones [07:48] ddgoose: cool .. and then I will be able to see the cause? [07:49] brack is you machine 64 bit [07:49] no it's not [07:49] interesting [07:49] It didn't when intrepid was first released, and I don't want to crash my system, again. [07:49] athlon XP 3200+ [07:49] oh wait sorry p4 2500 mhz [07:49] ive got a 2500+ althlon XP [07:49] ok, because most of the processors which aren't 64bit are i386 processors right Flannel? But you mean the real, ancient 386 processors? [07:49] runs clean [07:50] zetheroo1, you will need to be in the console, ie alt+ctrl+F1 when it crashes to see the output [07:50] this is frustrating [07:50] I'm so damn sick of windows [07:50] you might try the live ubuntu [07:50] windows has its up and its downs [07:50] zetheroo1, the top part of the output should say what it was that caused it [07:50] oh ok if I have better luck with the ubuntu live cd....can I install Kubuntu from the Ubuntu live cd? [07:50] zetheroo1, then I use sysreq i this order to safe reboot -> s e i u b [07:50] kubuntu is just ubuntu with KDE interface [07:51] right [07:51] yes it can be done [07:51] SmokeyD: correct. i386 is a generic term for all "intel compatable 32bit yadda yadda". The -386 is there because sometimes the old processors don't agree with the runtime optimization checks the -generic does (because they were created after the 386 was shipped, etc) [07:51] sweet [07:51] !reisub | ddgoose, zetheroo1 [07:51] ddgoose, zetheroo1: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [07:51] you have to install all the packages and dependences [07:51] how do I do it? create the file structure manually and copy the files from the CD? [07:51] Flannel: ok, thanks [07:51] oh [07:52] can i change the level of control on debian-conf when installing with synaptic? so that synaptic asks me about settings on installed packages? [07:52] no boot into ubuntu, tell it to install kde from the sysnaptic thing [07:52] Flannel, thanks didn't know that one was in ubottu :P [07:52] I see [07:53] ive used kde 3.X but honestly its like a left hand or a right hand [07:53] either way its a hand [07:53] I just honestly like the way it looks better [07:53] GNOME is kinda ugly [07:54] its in the eye of the beholder [07:54] if you cant install the ubuntu then you have problem [07:54] ddgoose; I don't understand then what those other commands are for? [07:54] The backtrack3 KDE desktop is definitely hot [07:54] agreed [07:54] my buddy uses backtrack3 [07:55] backtrack is sweet except it doesn't have that one program the auditor did [07:55] STD is cool too [07:55] the really useful exploit scanner [07:55] whick one is that [07:55] thats outta my book [07:56] trying to remember [07:56] anyways, don't want to go to far off topic or ubot will get mad [07:56] ok have any of you used winforlin or wine on a game such as grand theft auto sa? [07:57] if you play games in sandbox or vm, it will just slow it down [07:58] i understand that [07:58] its more to process [07:58] can it be done [07:58] which is best? [07:58] of course [07:58] probably sandbox....like wine [07:58] alrighty... [07:59] smaller footprint [07:59] \ [07:59] is better [07:59] yeah [07:59] mem issues im sure.. [07:59] yeah [08:00] ok [08:00] I need to switch all my work desktops to Ubuntu instead of upgrading to Vista [08:00] vista is like shoe 2 sizes to small [08:00] Brack10: coolness [08:00] this chat is so much better than socail networks, talking tech is so much better than that trash [08:01] ok...i was reading up on the super computer aka the roadrunner [08:01] zetheroo1, they help you safely restart you machine after a kernel panic [08:01] you got that right Brack.....Vista belongs in the trash bin [08:01] Brack10: what windows software do you need to support on linux? [08:01] ddgoose: oh [08:02] linux under windows is like a fat cheerleader. [08:02] holymoo: the only thing would be this parts pro software [08:02] linux has everything [08:02] almost [08:02] some proprietary parts software only for windows [08:02] has everthing for free [08:02] Brack10: a couple of options depending on your requirements: [08:02] 1. crossover office ... check their site [08:03] 2. vmware with a winxp image [08:03] yep [08:03] ddgoose: this is what the Ubuntu Docs say: When the crash occurs, press Alt+SysRq+1 (one, not L) followed by Alt+SysRq+t. If using a text console, you should see a trace dumped to the screen. If the system is sufficiently alive, it will also be logged to /var/log/kern.log and visible in the output from dmesg. This information shows where the crash occurred, and should be included in any problem reports. [08:03] check the linux appfinder [08:03] 3. if you have a windows server available on the network/vpn, just give them rdp access [08:03] yeah I don't really like that vmware option [08:03] oh true [08:03] what we are doing is basically just running win2k3 servers for the small amount of win apps and giving them access over rdp for most situations [08:04] just depends on requirements i guess [08:04] vmware is the shit [08:04] zetheroo1, yeah that should work [08:04] so then I can just set the windows VM to boot straight into the remote desktop program [08:05] kinda [08:05] yes [08:05] vmware kicks: if you got the balls to ride the vm machine [08:05] ddgoose: what does it mean by "if using a text console"? does that mean you cannot be logged into Gnome when the crash occurs? [08:05] zetheroo1, yes correct [08:06] also I need a mail client that can hook up to Exchange, Holymoo [08:06] Brack10, evolution does that [08:06] you can run your windows partition in the linux partition with vmware [08:06] ddgoose: but what if the crash does not occur unless Iam logged in?> [08:06] see configure the sever in vmware then ghost it to the system when you get on site..its saves hours and hours of config time... [08:06] zetheroo1, if you want to see the trace you need to be on the console, otherwise it will show up in the log [08:06] oh yeah also, I need to run FileMaker Pro 9 [08:06] I forgot about that [08:07] what kinda files does it make? [08:07] Hi, how can I get Open Office 3.x installed? === b33r_ is now known as b33r [08:07] psteyn download it. [08:07] hey people. Both in tilda and yakuake terminals under gnome I have the problem that at the bottom of the terminals, text is not always displayed.

[08:08] when I hit enter a couple of times, the lines which should have been displayed at the bottom move up and are displayed higher up in the terminal [08:08] hello [08:08] nice [08:08] zetheroo1: no [08:08] your a DB guy [08:08] zetheroo1: no [08:08] I trying to get webmin to run on my Ubuntu 8.10 [08:08] it is kind of unpredictable. Sometimes everything at the bottom of the terminal is displayed normally, sometimes it is not and I have to hit enter a couple of times [08:08] so what can be used to webcam ? ... in Yahoo [08:08] kinda [08:09] FileMaker is pretty lame [08:09] zetheroo1: Amsn does [08:09] im all hardware [08:09] doesn't support tables [08:09] Gorilla1: thanks genious. where from? I obviously need to use an apt mirror instead of just grabbing it from openoffice.org but which is the one to use? [08:09] for Yahoo? [08:09] when I go to the file manager it says that my web browser doesn't support java [08:09] wow that sad [08:09] zetheroo1: no [08:10] Brack10: not sure about mapi support. we only do imap whether clients like it or not. [08:10] most people dont know what they are buying [08:10] its all good [08:10] so what can i use to cam over yahoo?

[08:14] !webmin | jabiim [08:14] jabiim: 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.

[08:14] oh ok [08:14] there you go [08:14] samdahippman: webmin is not a web browser [08:15] helping people one person at a time [08:15] I've never heard of it.

Where should I be looking to understand why? [08:21] hmmm ... just wondering ... is there any more nice proggys out there thats similar to gDesklets and Screenlets ? =P [08:21] ziroday: syslog is a good start [08:22] ikonia: thanks. do you know what the default hibernate manager/program is? I hear of tuxonice, pm-utils swuswap etc [08:22] ziroday: what symptoms suggest a problem with suspend to disk ? [08:22] ziroday: no idea off the top of my head, wthout being a suspend user [08:23] ikonia: click the hibernate option, the half moon (suspend light) flashes, screen blanks but laptop does not turn off [08:23] ziroday: interesting, I suggest tail -f on the syslog then clicking the button see what is said [08:24] when installing ubuntu 8.10, how much memory should i dedicate to the swap, i have 2 gigs of ram [08:24] BlueEraser: 4 gig is a good base [08:24] BlueEraser: it allows you to use suspend and have swap space free [08:25] ikonia: that sounds helpful. Also I know there are (were perhaps) issues with fglrx and suspend to disk however I am not sure if I am using fglrx or not as I have no xorg.conf. Is there any other way to check? [08:25] ikonia: thank you [08:25] ziroday: you are very correct, there are real issues with ati cards. [08:25] i'm using virtualbox and after 10 minutes or so of not typing, virtualbox stops accepting keyboard input, is there something with standby or suspend mode in ubuntu that does this? [08:26] ziroday: if you look at your xorg log you'll see what xorg drivers is being used [08:26] ikonia: sweet thanks. Let me see [08:26] ikonia: if i give more than that to swap will i get any advantages?

[08:27] ikonia: I am using the radeon driver which I believe is open source and should have no issues. Correct me if I am wrong [08:28] ziroday: I thought one of the core issues was with the "wake up" sequence of the card at a physical level, as well as the module re-loading on the closed source drivers [08:28] ziroday: I'm not an ati/hibernate user so don't know for fact [08:28] loca|host: that program has been depreciated in 8.10 [08:28] ikonia: okay, thanks!

[08:30] okay [08:30] wiseman1: is the program gnome-panel running? [08:30] ziroday: thanks I ll try [08:31] ziroday: how would I verify that?

Press ctrl alt f7 to get back to a graphical environment [08:33] alt-f2 brought up my terminal [08:33] now what [08:33] wiseman1: run the command ps ax | grep gnome-panel [08:33] ps ax | grep gnome-panel [08:33] wiseman1: in the terminal [08:34] sorry, drunk [08:34] ok, I put it in [08:34] I get the response [08:34] 9015 pts/0 R+ 0:00 grep gnome-panel [08:34] wiseman1: if you are drunk I suggest you come back later when you are not [08:34] I suppose I should tell you I'm in XFCE [08:35] anyone here stream audio?

Did you install xfce from xubuntu? [08:40] ziroday: Shouldn't this be in #xubuntu? [08:40] yes [08:40] wobblywu: Which wireless card are you using? === scientes_ is now known as scientes [08:40] wiseman1: well I am not that familar with xfce myself sorry, the folks in #xubuntu will be able to help [08:40] it used to work, ziroday, but then it stopped after playing with menu options earlier [08:40] hey guys [08:41] tiyowan, that's a good question, one second let me check [08:41] Does anyone know how to make it so that the pigdin tray icon does not blink when you get new messages === djungelkraem_ is now known as djungelkraem [08:41] EMPulse: there is a setting for that. One sec while I try to find it [08:41] EMPulse, right click the icon, disable "blink on new message" [08:41] ziroday, thanks man, it annoys the hell out of me [08:42] let me log out and log back in and make sure it still works [08:42] brb [08:42] wobblywu, may you get laid many times tonight, thank you [08:42] EMPulse, I hope that's not an invitation :P [08:42] EMPulse: thats not appropriate, [08:42] #ubuntu-cn [08:42] wobblywu, nah, lol not an invitation, anyway thanks for the help [08:42] EMPulse: "thank you" how you show thanks [08:43] Hey thanks, that seemed to do the trick, ziroday [08:43] tiyowan, it's an intel [08:43] things are working fine now [08:44] gives me an excuse now to keep drinking [08:44] but I'm all out of booze :( [08:44] @wobblywu, you might want to check which drivers are being used. [08:45] @wobblywu, open up shell, and type iwlconfig. [08:45] is there an itunes replacement for ubuntu?

Hopefully by today. :-) [08:46] Can someone tell me where the httpd directory is? [08:46] just means you're doing it wrong :) [08:46] U-b-u-n-t-u: use whatever operating system meets your needs better [08:46] plus I said earlier that perhaps I may have had something to drink earlier [08:47] wiseman: I sugges you leave then [08:47] tiyowan: good luck :) [08:47] thanks for telling me the obvious ikonia [08:47] Oh come on [08:47] Maveas: look in /etc/apache2 [08:47] wiseman: come back when not drinking [08:47] it's past midnight on the internet, most of those online have had one or two [08:47] ziroday: thanks :) [08:47] how safe is "apt-get autoremove" function?

It is reasonably safe [08:48] aftertaf, dangit: it chooses what to try and remove based on what depends on it [08:48] is there a linux distro that supports creative labs xfi card out of the box? [08:48] dangit: It's designed to remove packages that are no longer being used by the system, has never caused problems here [08:49] tiyowan, what could explain it seeing networks but not the one I need, though? [08:49] ikonia: wtf, are you some kind of teatotaller? [08:49] aftertaf, Flannel ziroday so stuff like "openssh-blacklist", "vlc-plugin-pulse"... are no longer necessary? [08:49] odd...

[08:50] Akiva: plenty in ##php [08:50] pu154r: I'd get a php guy to veriyfy the function your using correctly, and then log a bug [08:51] ikonia: This, I know. I was just looking for any opinions on... [08:51] @wobblywu: All I know is that you need to be running the latest drivers ipwraw drivers to provide better support for the intel chipset wireless card. [08:51] ikonia: Ah nevermind [08:51] @wobblywu: I may have typo'ed. Try iwconfig. [08:52] ikonia: is not script based error is genreal fault if you use php cgi/fcgi interface in current php version it resault in segmentaion fault (kernel segmentation error in syslog) [08:52] ikonia is there to your knowledge a linux distro that support creative labs xfi cards easely without much tweaking the kernel? [08:52] hey people, I have a protected PDF that I protected - I know the password - I am using PDFEdit, and I want to unpassword the PDF - is there a way of doing that in linux? I've googled, but all results are garbage, and I've seen GauPDF [08:52] pu154r: I'm using it fine, so hence why I'm suggesting check how your using it [08:52] pu154r: no [08:52] pu154r: the driver is closed source [08:52] tiyowan, where would I find this driver? [08:53] @wobblywu: I found on it on the backtrack forums...I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but I'm still a newbie at ubuntu. [08:54] On linux, can you remove a (known) password for a protected / encrypted pdf? [08:54] tiyowan, :/ [08:54] ikonia: apache2 fcgi module or lighttpd or nanoweb fcgi result in startup in segmentation faul [08:54] pu154r: for you - not me [08:54] @wobblywu: Anyhow. Does iwconfig return anything? [08:54] ikonia: BUT the joke is if i echo "" with pipe to php5-cgi it returns phpinfo page [08:55] pu154r: thats not a joke, thats expected behaviour [08:55] ikonia: is after upgrading from 8.04.1 [08:55] ดีครับ [08:55] ikonia: did you use ubuntu 8.10 or ubuntu 8.10 server?

[08:58] mfoniso: what do u mean? [08:59] ikonia: apache2 module php works finde but why is php5-cgi not working i don't understand that behavior [08:59] as I said, it is working for me [09:00] can anyone point me to a post or answer for the proper procedure for "ejecting" a usb flash drive [09:00] ikonia: did you tryed lighttpd fcgi? or apache fcgi? [09:00] Okay guys, hopefully in a couple of minutes I shall be talking from Ubuntu. [09:00] HRshovinstuff, easiest way is to click on the icon on your desktop showing your flash drive, then hit eject [09:00] tiyowan: good luck [09:01] aftertaf: say I've got a certain package installed on my system, and I need to install the same package on another system, but I don't have access to the package file (e.g. a .deb package or otherwise). Is there enough information to recreate the package from the installed files? [09:01] i mean, unmount volume [09:01] pu154r: just apache [09:01] mfoniso: ouch. better to redownload the deb. i dont kow if u can do what you want to . . . . [09:01] jan247: that option is not available, I have unmount. Will that do the trick?? Only question i'm asking is because when I eject the hardware within windwos the light on it goes out, when I unmount it in *Nix the light stays on, hasn't created any problems just curios. [09:02] aftertaf: ok, thanks. [09:02] ikonia: but the think is apache did not support regex based vhosts or i don't know how to use it [09:02] * mfoniso thinks, it's only a matter of time now [09:02] mfoniso: you also need to think about dependencies [09:03] ardchoille: yes, but that'd be something else to deal with [09:04] mfoniso: yes, as soon as the install on the other machine fails due to lack of deps ;) [09:04] ardchoille: :-) [09:04] guys.. got a question too -- i have two xorg configs.. one for single screen, the other for dual screen. is there a way to detect at startup if an external monitor is attached, so as to use the proper xorg config? [09:04] hey guys :-) does linux have a flash builder like swish or macromedia mx? [09:06] olskolirc: I doubt it. Try running them on wine. [09:06] ok thanks [09:06] ikonia is there to your knowledge a linux distro that support creative labs xfi cards easely without much tweaking the kernel? [09:06] I found that wine and crossoveroffice doesn't handle adobe well [09:07] yeah. i'd say run them on a vm olskolirc.. the flash stuff that's decent enough to get working on linux are just adobe flex [09:07] olskolirc: well, might be that macromedia products would work better. [09:07] macromedia = adobe. hehe [09:10] hehe, trying kubuntu livecd [09:10] hi guys, am having issues playing dvds in vlc, already have libdvdread3 and libdvdcss2 installed, what should i do?

I've tried syndaemon and it won't work =/ [09:58] phnom: you could rmmod the module for the mouse maybe [09:58] Thought of that, but how to execute a script whenever i press any button? [09:59] bash alias? [09:59] phnom: sounds like a lot of effort to me [10:00] ActionParsnip, Ya, exactly... Have a working script that toggles the touchpad but I want it to be automagically disabled while typing. [10:00] !shortcuts [10:00] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [10:01] phnom: you could have a key yo enable / disable in gnome, you could turn it off and on like a switch with that [10:02] ActionParsnip, yep, I have it mapped to one of my userdefined buttons. But I want it disabled whenever I type _anything_ on the keyboard... Have an eee pc btw [10:02] Do you guys know if there is an unofficial support channel for Apache?

[10:03] phnom: not sure dude, i think its gonna be a manual job, eee pc is sweeeeet [10:03] BlueEraser: are you using sudo / gksudo to run the app to get the driver? [10:04] well, its not that its not being allowed, its just not doing anything [10:04] ActionParsnip, I agree, have everything working except that little annnoyance... Well, thanks for trying :) I'll dig deeper [10:04] BlueEraser: you may need to configure your system to use whats downloaded [10:05] ActionParsnip: no, ubuntu detected it for me and told me which one it recommended, when it trys to download, nil [10:06] BlueEraser: is this for nvidia drivers? [10:06] ActionParsnip: yes [10:06] !nvidia | BlueEraser [10:06] BlueEraser: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [10:07] BlueEraser: Theres a nice guide there, or you can try !envyng [10:07] ActionParsnip: ok, ill take a look thank you [10:12] ActionParsnip: is there something i can tyoe to make sure i dont see everyone comming and going from this room?

[11:06] yes [11:07] but still the same problem [11:07] thegve: How do I configure Thunderbird to use exchange then? :S [11:07] napster_: Right, but the output tells us a lot about what's going on [11:07] !pastebin | napster_ [11:07] napster_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [11:08] is anyone here able to unlock console-kit apps with fingerprint reader? [11:08] Maveas, easiest is always to configure the exchange server to use imap [11:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/78696/ check it [11:08] thegve, ActionParsnip but i tried: rsync -v /mnt/Data/FILES/ /mnt/USB/FILES/ and it didnt work :S [11:08] What if I just need to access the file server? :S [11:08] AdvoWork: you know as much as I do, i just use cp [11:08] napster_: we are asking for information, unless you give it to us we cannot help you. [11:09] napster_: No. Pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update` [11:09] If you're not able to do this, then (just googled up, not tested): http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/03/30/howto-thunderbird-and-ms-exchange-server/ [11:09] actionparnip: does ubuntu run any sort of automated defragmentation sort of deal? [11:09] !defrag | ariqs [11:09] ariqs: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [11:09] !defrag [11:09] AdvoWork: try rsync -avP source dest [11:09] Reading packages list ..Done [11:10] Maveas, they use imap too.. [11:10] napster_: you need to pastebin the *entire* output, like you did with your question [11:10] ariqs: no as the file system is made well so the writing of data on the drive is more planned than the windows way of just dumping it where there is any sort of free space [11:10] how i can do this?> I am just new to ubuntu [11:10] ubottu: sure ext3 tries to avoid fragmentation, that doesn't say it will not fragment after a while [11:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:10] I don't think that's quite what NTFS does :p maybe fat does [11:11] napster_: you run the command, copy your entire terminal output and pastebin it like you did with your question [11:11] ok [11:11] anyway, I don't know why my hd is grinding away, i'm using 30% of memory and hardly any swap t all [11:11] ariqs: i'd imagine drives 'can' get fragmented but you'd have to really REALLY try but as a standard user I wouldnt worry about it [11:11] Exec something into a var? [11:11] peterz, I think ext3 does some defragmentation automatically when the system is idle. But is indeed very little and a lot less than what NTFS needs. [11:11] os.exec("ping google.com") but put the output in a var? [11:11] os.system * [11:11] thegve: it does not [11:11] I mean [11:11] it seems to be related to my use of firefox [11:11] I've been having a issue with my adsl connection since I installed Ibex. I can't connect. My 3G connection works perfectly, but when I plug in my adsl connection it tells me i'm connected, but I'm not. I've gotten some help on linuxquestions, but nothing works properly. We've been able to connect by editting the interfaces file, but then my network connection manager disappears and I can't connect with 3G then. Also, with the altered file, my ALSA [11:11] ariqs: thats pretty much what it does, its garbage and the security model is stupid too [11:12] Does the 8.10 live cd for i386 really need 384MB ram? [11:12] Maveas, Netbeans without plugins [11:12] It seems to work fine here with 256 MB [11:12] e911: yes, however the alternate cd needs less [11:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/78697/ [11:12] Netbeans 6.5 as downloaded, not from the ubuntu repo's [11:12] ActionParnip: what about copying its table to the middle of the drive? Rather nice, I should say [11:12] napster_: and that is the entire output? [11:12] yes [11:12] but I still have the 6.1 from te repository's, and that doesn't work either [11:13] ariqs: table? [11:13] I think it is a java problem... [11:13] napster_: can you pastebin apt-cache policy gedit === Guest31504 is now known as zer0_ [11:13] Hello , i would like to know if its possible to use grep/cat to show lines without specific char ? for example , i would like to print just the lines which not contain the char "A" ? [11:13] napster_: as well as /etc/apt/sources.list [11:13] nucco1, i tried it without archiving so -vP and the same thing happened, nothing [11:14] How can I execute something in Pythin and get the ouput in a var? [11:14] Python * [11:14] ziroday as u said, works here with 256MB (in save graphics mode). Is there anything bad going to happen if i'm going to use it to copy one hdd to antoher? [11:14] ok [11:14] slow performance with ubuntu 8.10..how to fix?? [11:14] zer0_: get full updates, install good video drivers, more ram ;) [11:15] better DE/wm [11:15] ActionParsnip, MFT [11:15] ActionParsnip, NTFS seems rather spiffy to me, and I'm not windows lover ;) [11:15] thegve: huh? netbeans? [11:15] already update with all new..already install with video driver.ram is 2gb [11:16] zer0_: which part is slow exactly, what programs? [11:16] ariqs: the security is not in every file, its inherited from above so lots of files have no security on them outside of windows. its appauling [11:16] Maveas, sorry, I've mistaken you for someone who had answered my question... [11:16] which is the best for an isp style mail server? exim4, postfix or qmail? [11:16] looking up the right user ;) [11:16] almost all..mostly too when open firefox [11:16] 8.10 x64 flash 10 -- slow/laggy -- any ideas? [11:16] ahh -r should work [11:16] ActionParsnip, what bout with encryption? surely not then ;) [11:17] zer0_: okay, run the command top and see what is taking all your processing power [11:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/78699/ [11:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/78698/ [11:17] xorg [11:17] ariqs: in linux theres no need due to the security model, extra steps are not needed [11:18] napster_: right, you have no /etc/apt/sources.list. This is why you have the errors [11:18] now? [11:18] how i can solve it? [11:18] napster_: correct, what country are you in? [11:18] napster_: here's mine [11:18] !repos [11:18] 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 [11:18] http://pastebin.com/f1682e00b [11:18] Pakistan [11:18] Found it, no-one answered yet, let's ask again. I'm having trouble running Netbeans/Java on Ubuntu 8.10 64bit. The error java gives is : Problematic frame: C [libc.so.6+0x315af] catgets+0x1f [11:18] Hmm isn't it agressive that the livecd uses swap partitions on the local hdd without asking? Imean, i could have had my hybernate state in there :-O [11:18] napster_: put all that into /etc/apt/source.list [11:19] xorg=3.0 mem [11:19] thegve: try #ubuntu-devel [11:19] ActionParsnip, thanks [11:21] it's firefox. the moment I start up firefox, my HD starts grinding away like crazy [11:21] actionparsnip..firefox on ubuntu 8.10 is slow..lag.. [11:21] zer0_: try opera to see if its your connection [11:21] taking almost 1 sec to minimize/maximize. [11:21] zer0_: or you could rename ~/.moilla to see if its a corrupt profile [11:21] my connection is good. [11:22] zer0_: firefox isnt the quickest browser [11:22] rename???detail please.i am new ubuntu user [11:22] zer0_: does it work after all the grinding? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [11:23] zer0_: killall firefox; mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old; firefox & [11:24] cannot stat `/root/.mozilla': No such file or directory [11:24] Hello, I created a custom sound effects array using the .ogg files in the sounds directory. The only sounds that play are the login sounds. Is there some reason why the click and window size and blah blah sounds are not playing? [11:24] zer0_: why are you logged in as root? [11:24] if i have downloaded a tar.gz and want to compile it what should it do, also if it is the the correct drivers, what would eb a the side effects? [11:25] owh..sorry2. [11:25] zer0_: running firefox as root is MASSIVELY unsecure [11:25] hi [11:25] i dont know it..y it now unsecure? [11:25] how can i do avermedia a700 dvb card fix for ubuntu? [11:26] zer0_: as you are running a web facing app over the internet, if an attacker breaches your system and takes controi, s/he will gain the current permissions (root), if yuo run as a user they will only get user access which is drastically limited [11:26] meh, firefox suks ;P [11:26] hey guys, what do you do in ubuntu when a window is longer than your screen? [11:27] zer0_: you dont NEED root access to type docs and browse the web, its stupid to log on as root unless in a data recovery situation [11:27] wos: hold alt + drag with the mouse until you find the edge of the window [11:27] then resize it if possible [11:27] wos: alt drag it [11:27] owh..then i need to make some/new user ???? [11:27] zer0_: no, you made one when you first installed the system [11:27] ActionParsnip: is a tar.gz considered a tar ball? [11:28] BlueEraser1, yes [11:28] BlueEraser1, a compressed one, yes [11:28] i made it [11:28] BlueEraser1: yes, tar zxvf .tar.gz [11:28] i know my name user.. [11:28] hi [11:28] I just found out that my processor is 64 bit, do I need to make another Live CD or is there an easier way to install from within the 32 bit version I'm using right now? [11:28] zer0_: then you should use that, not root [11:28] to all [11:28] to install the 64 bit version of Ubuntu* [11:28] owh..yes,,i login into it now.. [11:28] ActionParsnip: what am i to do with it, and if they arent the correct drivers for my sound card could it mess anything up? [11:29] aeosynth: if you use < 2Gb ram and its a desktop system i'd suggest 32bit [11:29] got this error [11:29] firefox(23863): Operation not permitted [11:29] firefox: no process killed [11:29] [1] 24310 [11:29] zer0_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:29] BlueEraser1: if they are the wrong drivers it wont work, you can then remove the stuff you compiles [11:29] on my pc i got ubuntu and windows i installed windows xp after installing ubuntu [11:29] zer0_: that means there was no firefox to kill when you ran my command [11:30] so since I only have 1 gig of ram, would there be no difference between the 32 and 64 bit versiosn? [11:30] No help on my sound problem? [11:30] What is a good irc client for ubuntu ? [11:30] ActionParsnip: should i compile from the terminal? [11:30] how do I shutdown the x-server?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [11:34] haha, yo yo yo [11:34] because [11:35] Hi, is there a way to have dpkg install deb's from a directory and resolving all dependencies first? All required dependencies/packages are in this directory. i thought "dpkg -i /directory/*.deb" would do the trick, but many packages fail due to pre-dependency problems [11:35] it doesn't support HEX WEP === zer0_ is now known as shiMMer [11:35] in 8.04 it was no problem [11:35] actionparsnip: what next??

I call apt-get from within a function. Script A calls Script B and within Script B this function is called. However once apt-get is called for installing, it just skips the rest of the script due to some wrong return code from apt-get. It comes to "preconfiguring Packages" and then just echo' all the other functions. See line 45 and following of http://rafb.net/ [11:40] p/2fGBsn33.html [11:40] it's a bit rubbish tbh - KDE allows it [11:41] I am using VirtualBox on Ubuntu 8.10. The prop version.

[12:42] voicu: thank you so much for your help :) [12:42] nat1: then change your menu.lst to point to the correct partition number [12:43] derkater: they provide the torrent+tracker :) [12:43] !grub | nat1 [12:43] nat1: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[12:43] i dont know where the partion is at [12:43] derkater: there should be an option somewhere [12:43] fstab should show it right [12:43] ? [12:43] ActionParsnip: hex being the ID? [12:43] shiMMer: gnome has a weird way of adding startup items, in fluxbox you type the command you want to run in ~/.fluxbox/startup [12:43] Tyrath: yep [12:43] nat1: what does ls /dev/sd* give?

[12:46] Can someone please help me with ip address on eth0? [12:46] voicu: that way I will be able to VNC into linux and always be able to see the damn server console as if I was in front of it. Because you know SBS always disconnects you when you change something and then you have to ask someone to get on the server and click somewhere [12:46] AutoMatriX: your machines ip can be gained with ifconfig [12:46] voicu ok thanks alot voicu [12:46] i can set it after i choose different session right? [12:47] cannot communicate with server on eth0. ifconfig eth0 shows no IP address, but system settings does.

Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

[12:53] I always used it, but thanks i try gksudo [12:53] ikonia: Can I interrupt you for a support request? I am really stuck with this for hours now. [12:53] thorsten_: it sets up the environment properly, sudo with gui apps can ruin permissions and ownerships [12:53] sad_ubuntite if you ask the channel, I'm sure they will be able to help [12:54] ikonia: When I boot up, right after Booting up... at the very top, long before Reading files needed to boot I get the error udevd[1040] lookup_group unspecified users vboxusers unknown, and my usplash theme is not displayed and I have to read all those other boot up messages. What is wrong? [12:54] ikonia: No one does. [12:54] ikonia: This site: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/User_FAQ had asked me to do two things edit mountdevsubfs.sh and fstab. I had also edited the udev-40 file to get usb to work. Now I removed the edits from all three files and restored them to their original version. Still the udev error appears at bootup. Here are the files as they are now, removed all the edits: http://pastebin.com/m743f023b, http://pastebin.com/m326f49e8, http://pastebin.com/m1d66caeb. [12:54] sad_ubuntite well it looks like vbox has a group setup caled vboxusers, which doesn't exist so udev can't assign permissions [12:54] With virtual Box I wracked the system. [12:55] On my Pc, of course [12:55] Hello [12:55] ikonia: The group exists I can see it under 'Users and groups' And me and root are members of it. [12:55] When someone gets a sec, I need a bit of help [12:56] !ask | gasmasq [12:56] gasmasq: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:56] how do I boot into console? [12:57] sad_ubuntite: can you please do "grep vbox /etc/group" please [12:57] zetheroo1: use the grub menu that ssays "recovery mode2 [12:57] ok [12:57] I am going to leave it in console overnight [12:57] ikonia: vboxusers:x:126:king,root [12:58] I installed Ubuntu 7.01 on my PPC iBook G4 from the LiveCD (which I'm using now). When I try to boot from the installation, my screen whites out. This was a problem when booting from the LiveCD, which was fixed by booting with: live video=ofonly . I do not know how to emulate this action when I'm booting from my harddrive. [12:58] sad_ubuntite that looks fine, like it should work [12:58] Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble with Ubuntu 8.10. When I boot, it will lag on the splash screen, and wont move unless I hold down a key. It does it both while it's doing the 'Knight Rider' thing (Going back and forth) and while it's building the bar. Also, after it finally gets off that, the screen will go blank with a blinking cursor, and I have to hit a key to get it to go further again. Once it finally boots, it's completely fine, [12:59] gasmasq: add it to /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:59] ActionParsnip: how? I'm a huge noob. [13:00] gasmasq: just get access to the file somehow (even from live cd) and edit the file [13:00] ikonia: What about the error message: udevd[1040] lookup_group unspecified users vboxusers unknown. I get at every bootup, even after I have restored those three files to their original version, when they didn't have the edits proposed by vbox to get usb to work. That error doesn't let the usplash theme to show and everytime I have to watch each of the file as it gets loaded during bootup. [13:00] sad_ubuntite ahhhh users, not group [13:00] ActionParsnip: I can edit the file from the LiveCD, but where should I put in the command? [13:01] sad_ubuntite it's looking at a user called vboxusers does that user existr [13:01] sad_ubuntite: I miss-read [13:01] gasmasq: do you have an installed ubuntu system? [13:01] ikonia: That is what I thought first of all but the user vboxusers doesn't exist "users and groups' just lists two users me and root. Is there a text file I should check? [13:02] ActionParsnip: yes, I'm mounting the file system right now to access the file [13:02] sad_ubuntite, you should address the channel; if someone knows they will answer [13:02] sad_ubuntite create a user called vboxusers (you can delete it later) just to see if the error goes away [13:02] bazhang: I have been doing that for three for days now. [13:02] sad_ubuntite, in the meantime you should check the forums [13:02] Morning everyone. How was y'all's weekend? [13:02] gasmasq: ok then open /boot/grub/menu.list and add the boot option to each kernel [13:02] ikonia: Nice idea. [13:02] ActionParsnip: that's not the Debian/Ubuntu way of doing it. [13:02] bazhang: Checked the forums, asked vbox, searched google, did all :( [13:02] !bootoptions | gasmasq [13:02] gasmasq: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [13:03] rww: what isnt? [13:03] ActionParsnip: although, never mind, gasmasq can't run update-grub [13:03] ActionParsnip: usually you'd put it in the commented options, not the automagically-generated section... [13:03] ActionParsnip: I don't have a grub folder in my boot folder [13:04] rww: im not aware of a "debian way". i just suggest what makes it work [13:04] : if are u trying to add permition to your vbox user go to users and groups select your username and properties, and under 'vboxusers' tick your username and done [13:04] does anyone know if it's possible to install windows onto a separate (bootable) partition using ubuntu and virtualbox? not sure what the limitations are in this process >.< [13:04] gasmasq: then you need to find it [13:05] ActionParsnip: Is bootstrap something different than grub? Like I said, I'm on 7.01 [13:05] Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble with Ubuntu 8.10. When I boot, it will lag on the splash screen, and wont move unless I hold down a key. It does it both while it's doing the 'Knight Rider' thing (Going back and forth) and while it's building the bar. Also, after it finally gets off that, the screen will go blank with a blinking cursor, and I have to hit a key to get it to go further again. Once it finally boots, it's completely fine, [13:05] gasmasq: then you may need options there, im unknowldgable of bootstrap [13:06] Cripes, it's busy in here. I'll keep quiet until things settle down. === SlimHippo is now known as SlimHIppo [13:06] SlimHIppo: this is relatively quiet [13:06] rww: yeep! [13:06] Roadbuster: try removeing the quiet option from boot option so you can watch the boot [13:07] Roadbuster: remove the splash option while you're at it [13:07] ikonia: I created a new user 'vboxusers' and rebooted still the error appears. Excuse me for not reporting the error accurately it is 'udevd[1040] lookup_group specified group 'vboxusers' unknown'. So 'group' it is. [13:07] rww: I want to ask a question about multiple monitors but feel a bit silly about it. I've googled it tons and found lots of info but resolution to the problem. [13:07] Is that like turning the echo on in Windows (sorry, still a bit new) [13:07] I'm trying to get dual monitors working with a Radeon 9800 card under Ubuntu. So far both monitors are displaying the same screen but I can't find any (working) tools to configure what is displayed on each one. I just want the secondary to extend the primary, with an option of displaying a different workspace. *eep* it's busy right now.

[13:07] : if are u trying to add permission to your vbox user go to users and groups select your username and properties, and than 'vboxusers' properties tick your username and done [13:08] questnn I'll have to read through that guide you showed me as I only glanced thruogh it to see what's actually happening [13:08] Roadbuster: removing quiet will make the bootup process generate a bunch more messages. Removing splash will make it just show text instead of the bouncy progressbar thing [13:08] SlimHIppo: Screens and resolutions. [13:08] Nww: Thanks, I'll try that and see what exactly is hanging. [13:08] ikonia: The guide doesn't say much ubuntu specific. Barely ten lines. What is important is that if you looked at those pastebin files I have reverted back to the original versions with no edits suggested by vbox. And yet the error appears. [13:09] i need to change my name to "Rww" or something. people keep thinking my r is an n :P [13:09] questnn: I did look through the pastebin files, and looking at them they should work, hence why I want to read the guide [13:09] questnn: It's not working right now. IJust says 'unknown' [13:09] SlimHIppo: That is where my knowledge ends. === sivaji_ is now known as sivaji [13:10] SlimHIppo: have you looked into xrandr? [13:10] !xrandr | SlimHIppo [13:10] SlimHIppo: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [13:10] ikonia: I have been talking with an experienced user (maybe developer) erstazi, at #vbox for hours. He couldn't figure it out. He says it is pretty much harmless. I do not think he fully understands why it is caused though. [13:10] I agree it's harmless as worst case senario a udev device would be created with the wrong permissions [13:11] questnn: I just can't see why you'd get that error, as I saiy I'll have to go through that guide and the udev rules [13:11] rww: *reads* [13:11] SlimHIppo: I don't understand it much, but I've heard of other people getting dual monitors working that way [13:12] rww - I'll give it a go [13:13] Roadbuster: incidentally, if you want to remove those options permanently, issue gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove them from there (be sure to read the comments in that file) [13:13] my /media list doesn't seem to be in sync and show all the HD's i have on my comp, how do i fix this ? [13:14] ikonia: I hope you got this I 'removed' that edit from 40-basic-* udev file, and fstab and mountdevsubfs.sh and still it appears. [13:14] !fstab | DB42: add any that are missing to fstab [13:14] DB42: add any that are missing to fstab: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [13:14] questnn: yes, I noticed you'd commented them out [13:14] DB42: sudo mount -a [13:14] Hello. I installed pidgin-festivale (Ubuntu 8.10 x86), activated plugin, but nothing happens. Then I tested festival - $ echo 'hello' | festival --tts and it's works good. Does anybody get same problem? How can I fix it? [13:14] ActionParsnip, : apperntly /etc/fstab isn't in sync as well [13:14] like i see "sdd and sdd1" in dmesg, but i dont have /dev/sdd1 [13:15] actually i have it, but i can't mount it [13:15] DB42: then i'd read the fstab guide and modify it [13:16] can i do something like rsync, but with scp ? i.e. copy only new/different files, not everything ? [13:16] DB42: you should be able to do rsync over ssh [13:16] Nww: A question, for some reason there are two Ubuntu 8.10s (and two recovery consoles and then Windows) in my GRUB. So theoretically, I can permanently edit one and if it's screwed up I can use the other to boot into the system, right? [13:16] i'll try [13:17] Roadbuster: Yeah. Removing quiet and splash isn't gonna screw anything up, though... [13:17] gethostbyname error << on 7.10 << any idea why this might be? [13:18] nww: Well, I'm more worried about me accidentally hitting something else and not even realizing it, lol. [13:18] DB42: I forget how to do rsync over SSH (and the man page is way too long), but I'd bet there's tons of results for it on your favorite search engine [13:18] yeah [13:18] How do I make a playlist in vlc and save it? [13:18] Roadbuster: lol [13:20] rww: why does rsync tell me skipping dir? [13:20] * NetM is away: I'm busy [13:20] !away > netm [13:20] netm, please see my private message [13:20] Roadbuster: The "correct" way of doing it would be to edit the place where it appears that isn't within the automagic boot stanza section (I think it's in the defoptions line? not sure, 'cause I removed both of them), then run update-grub [13:20] questnn: is it a playlist of mp3s? [13:20] DB42: dunno, I haven't used it in months [13:21] ActionParsnip: .ape(S). Does it make a difference? [13:22] questnn: not really, you can create an m3u file of the names of the files and put it in the same directory as the files, or you can use absolute paths [13:22] questnn: you dont need an app [13:22] questnn: you can even use: dir *.ape > ./playlist.m3u [13:22] ActionParsnip: I meant my audio files are in .ape format [13:22] questnn: yeah, thats fine [13:23] nww: Yeah, that's what I did, now to see if it works, thanks again. [13:23] questnn: as long as the m3u is in the same folder as the files it points to it will work with the dir command [13:24] ActionParsnip: The .m3u worked! Thanks! I thought vlc would have an option of saving its play-list as a file. [13:24] questnn: it probably does, but that way is easier [13:24] exit [13:24] how do you fix a laptop screen that dims after it resumes from screen sleep (all black) [13:24] way easier, and people use playlist making apps, some even charge too. hilarious [13:25] works in windows too [13:25] allthough it's dir *.apr /b > playlist.m3u [13:26] I disconnected. [13:26] can anyone translate what the problem is here: http://pastebin.ca/1272314 ? [13:26] questnn: np man, simple isnt it [13:26] questnn: works in windows too: dir *.ape /b > playlist.m3u [13:27] ActionParsnip: What is the /b for? [13:27] I've had to install a slightly outdated package due to a bug, but ubuntu now keeps prompting me to update it. Is there a way to temporarily disable that? [13:27] questnn: makes it not show all the date created and stuff, just outputs the filename on its own [13:27] questnn: Bare format. ie, it strips out stuff like file sizes [13:28] In a multi-xscreen setup, is there a way to "kick" running applications to another x screen?

[13:30] indeed but its a single line command for free or a pretty gui for 10 quid [13:31] ActionParsnip: charge! Oh. I am sure they don't last in business. [13:31] ActionParsnip: true. I guess a more apt description would be those "system cleaner" utilities for OS X... [13:31] questnn: they do.

[13:43] rww: so i can spawn vmware [13:43] ping [13:44] questnn: Actually it is ubuntu that is causing me the problem, as when I try to install mod_php it is trying to remove the worker version and install prefork [13:44] questnn: won't a desktop version will be less secure than the server package? [13:44] questnn: which will make mono to not work. [13:44] rww: how do i install xorg??? [13:44] DerKater: sudo apt-get install xorg [13:44] DerKater: You will need to have a running X to run Vmware, that is why you need GUI. No it won't be less secure. It will be upto you to secure them. [13:44] ActionParsnip: And that is? :) [13:45] Maveas: cube desktop [13:45] Gnome? [13:45] DerKater: that'll install a very bare-bones X11. If you want a normal desktop, install non-server Ubuntu or sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:45] Lareth: You could force install it with -f but that is going towards disaster. It is disabled for a reason [13:45] questnn: ok I understand [13:45] ciao [13:46] rww: I wanted only xwindows plus vmware... can that be done easily without goind through a full desktop install? [13:46] DerKater: Yes. Again: sudo apt-get install xorg [13:46] questnn: ok.. Although that would mean that I cannot have mod_mono and mod_php working at the same time in ubuntu :( [13:46] ActionParsnip: I'm using Gnome [13:46] Lareth: It would mean you would have to have better reasons to make it work with ubuntu even though the package manager suggests not doing so. [13:46] undo changes partitions tables? ubuntu 8.04 server [13:47] rww: thanks I'm going to try both options and see which works best [13:47] Maveas: you can use compiz+ gnome [13:47] rww: once xorg is installed, how do I get to vmware? During install I had the option for "virtual machine host" [13:47] I want to install vmware 2.0 [13:47] ActionParsnip: What is it's function? [13:48] Hello! [13:48] !vmware | DerKater [13:48] DerKater: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [13:48] On U8.10 there is no more compatibleness to KCron [13:48] rww: cool thank you very much! [13:48] what program is the best to use for graphical scheduled tasks. [13:49] i want my computer to shutdown at 22.00 what program is the best for graphical tasks [13:49] KCron is no more on U810 [13:49] quatro, seis e sete :) [13:49] jtapio: You could just issue shutdown -h
