[00:00] sinan, Bolivia, South America [00:00] dr-willis ah i see.. but i need some with support for gtk applications like pidgin etc, just wanna try some few out [00:00] i know theres screenlets and desklets, what else are there? [00:00] joaopinto: um. my point is I'd like a system that should work reliably :-p [00:00] For my router, I have to setup my DNS settings manually - I can't let my computer find it automaticly or else my internet won't work. I'm trying to setup the DNS settings on Ubuntu 8.10, can someone help me? [00:00] joaopinto: your response implies to me my intuition is correct. there'd be trouble [00:00] nemo, hibernation is not reliably on linux, at least in general [00:01] DarkMage2303: system->prefs->network should have a tab for that [00:01] if you want reliability, shutdown :) [00:01] hi. [00:01] like i would say.. [00:01] joaopinto: ugh. fine. 1x of swap and just being careful :-/ [00:01] HELLO. [00:01] BlinkyToon: you guys have fast internet? over here they have just introduced 8mbps :P === kiosk is now known as Athena [00:01] joaopinto: I'd just as soon give swsup its own partition, but if that's not normal/possible, will just not worry about it :-/ [00:01] DarkMage2303: what is the problem? [00:02] nemo: i was using hibernation on my desktop for many weeks. it worked well. then i had some filesystem corruption (nothing missing though) so i stopped using it. because i was not sure what caused the corruption [00:02] nemo, is is possible, not normal [00:02] For my computer I have to type in the dns, it can't get it manually [00:02] why i cannot install yahoo messenger ? [00:02] !swap [00:02] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [00:02] and I've typed in the DNS settings, and it still doesn't let me connect to the internet [00:02] can someone help me with my question? [00:02] nemo: but it worked well for months, and using hibernate 20 times in a row without reboot. though rebooting some time helps that the computer runs faster again [00:02] y0315219 its a window application, i think pidgin det preinstalled works with all kinds of IMs [00:02] and the settings are correct because I am using them on the computer I'm on at the moment [00:03] Did you restart Bind or PowerDNS? [00:03] windows* [00:03] the not det lol [00:03] When I do a system update which updates the kernel, it won't remove my previous kernel right? [00:03] ghostknife, right [00:03] zsquareplusc: from responses so far, sounds like hibernate, as currently configured will ONLY be reliable if your swap partition is not used to the point where it exceeds main memory [00:03] DarkMage2303: so you are not getting then via dhcp? [00:03] I know the previous system update didn't want to boot the new kernel, so I switched back to the old, and now it would be a 3rd kernel, and if it doesn't boot eiter I still want to use the first one [00:03] zsquareplusc: or at least, I hope, the portion of memory that isn't being used for cache [00:03] if it gets it vis dhcp it doesn't let me connect on Windows, I have to set it manually [00:03] zsquareplusc: but, yeah, probably obsessing too much. [00:04] hi i have very strange problem - i use blueman, and my phone paired with my notebook, i can browse through files, in two directions, but my hone thinks that my notebook is headset, but on my pc i dont hear anything, what should i do? [00:04] zsquareplusc: I'd allocate a ton of swap space but this stupid laptop has only a 60GiB HD and I need to reserve at least half of it for some windows software required for work. [00:04] I realize that ubuntu is created with multicore processors in mind; however, is ubuntu studio also optimized for dual and quad core? [00:04] DarkMage2303: that is strange, windows should do that automatically [00:04] Anybody using intrepid + ati drivers + hibernation successfully? [00:04] since my dad got this new router it doesn't [00:05] nemo: yes, for hibernate is needs to store RAM /o caches + used swap. but i'd hope that its detecting when it does not fit. (i had such cases, then it was not shutting down, it came up again) [00:05] zsquareplusc: (my first experiment will be seeing if I can setup a complete SAP development env under linux ;) ) [00:05] ;/ [00:05] y0315219, YahooMessenger is a Windows program, NOT for Linux .. Ubuntu has a couple of decent IM programs such as Pidgin and Kopete (KDE) [00:05] DarkMage2303: hmm no idea sorry there [00:05] joaopinto: is the a definite then? [00:05] nemo, regarding SAP, you can use the Java 710r6 client [00:05] anyone? [00:05] Hmm [00:05] :( [00:05] time for google.. [00:05] i know theres screenlets and desklets, what else are there? [00:06] matreya6: hm. that's the R3 right? [00:06] wvw--forzamaltepe--c0m [00:06] I can suspend on a dell 9400, but no hibernation. :-) [00:06] wvw--forzamaltepe--c0m [00:06] nemo, no, NetWeaver [00:06] nbeebo: follow links in wikipedia ;-) [00:06] im having some problems getting adobe flash 10 to run on Ubuntu 8.04. I've tried atleast 3 different ways to install it and none of them have worked. [00:06] matreya6: riiight. but isn't that revision the one for R3? :) [00:06] nemo, but it is also compatible with R/ 3 yes [00:06] wvw--forzamaltepe--c0m [00:06] wvw--forzamaltepe--c0m [00:06] does suspend work in 8.10 running on the mac book [00:06] the_grouch, ubuntu studio does not support multiple processors as far as I know [00:06] someone k/b the spammer [00:07] or would you guys suggest just installing adobe flash 9 instead? [00:07] matreya6: ah. not requireed though. ok. cool. still learning SAP. only thing I know is that R3 requires 4GiB of memory and the client isn't on it anyway. [00:07] Anyone know what package I need to fix this? I tried apt-file search and it tells me a location where the Xdbe.. is, I assume this means I have it, but I still get the error. "configure: error: Could not find XdbeQueryExtension in -lXext" [00:07] matreya6: amusingly SAP is not terribly windows compatible from my exp in the training class :) [00:08] wvw--forzamaltepe--c0m [00:08] L3Tum, apt-cache search libxext dev [00:08] !ops [00:08] Help!

Sometimes I'll only have firefox open with one or two tabs, and rhythmbox running (as well as avant-window-naviagtor i guess), and when I am switching between tabs in firefox, it doesnt do it right away, and my music thats playing even skips a little bit. Intrepid should [00:48] n't be feeling this irresponsive, i dont think....I don't know what to do. Everything in the Processes tab of System Monitor looks good too. [00:48] Any Ideas? [00:48] tsrk: it should be, none distro use grub2 for default... or that's what i think [00:48] zsquareplusc: I'm converting now with GIMP, is there a hack for it? editing a command or something? [00:49] leoechevarria, ok, how do I know what it is though? [00:49] tsrk: grub-legacy or grub1, counts partition starting from 0, so sda3 is (sd0,2) [00:49] is there a shell command that will tell me what the largest files on my computer are? [00:49] zsquareplusc: i have setdefault only on vista's entry and it loads fine. XP is also on a different hard drive than ubuntu/vuista [00:49] leoechevarria, ok, thanks [00:49] I have a small hard drice [00:49] drive [00:49] that keeps filling up [00:49] MaT-dg: there are command line converters, but i'm not sure if its worth it. i only use gimp for editing images [00:50] know i only have one more question [00:50] how do you get wine [00:50] mozzila covers up my top pannel and then the x button disapers [00:50] I finally got the new version of conky completely compiled and installed I think. I got it configured and ran make. So it should be installed now right? But when I type conky into the terminal to run conky, it opens the old one still. Even conky -v still says version 1.5.1 But I uninstalled conky from the Sypnatic BEFORE I compiled the new on [00:51] sudo apt-get instal winehq [00:51] Gerinych: i've seen examples where map is used to swap device names, which is apparently needed when booting winblows from a second disk [00:51] gleesond: u can sort the ls output by size with i think ls -S .. [00:51] PATX: had the same problem once... It disapreared after rebooting [00:51] MaT-dg: ty [00:51] zsquareplusc: ok, so how do i do that [00:52] L3Tum: which yourbinary returns the path of the where you installed it? [00:52] I moved the resulting folder to /etc/gdm/themes/, so how or what do I do now? [00:52] Gerinych: uh.. i don't know without looking it up with google [00:53] zsquareplusc: I don't understand your question [00:53] * Lasivian can't seen to find kismet install instructions [00:53] come to think of it, i've never installed anything not in a package :S [00:53] anyone know a good place to get better screensavers for hardy? [00:54] L3Tum: i think he was telling you to use the command "where [binaryname]" [00:54] L3Tum: "which" shows whre a binary is installed. is it returning the path you would expect? [00:54] *which, my mistke [00:55] I downloaded a GDM theme and untarred it. Now, I moved the resulting folder to /etc/gdm/themes/, so how or what do I do now? [00:56] I don't know, I just ./configure'd, installing packages as I needed them, then typed make and that was it. This is my first time installing from command line. [00:56] alex_21 that command didn't work [00:56] alex_21: i think it belongs to /usr/share/gdm/themes/ [00:56] alex_21: no readme, iinstall or howto on gnomelook.org? [00:57] Linux filesystems suck [00:57] Linux filesystems suck [00:57] Linux filesystems suck [00:57] JNelson: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:57] alex_21 it said E: Couldn't find package winehq [00:57] after done witheverything else [00:57] I understand I think, that I need to make sure that when I type conky into the terminal it goes to the right place to open conky right?

[00:58] Slasher`: never feed the troll [00:58] ok, why does "apt-get install kismet" work, but it's not listed in the package manager? [00:59] joedirt; he's funny, he needs to take his issues elsewhere, i think he likes being banned or something [00:59] lasivian, what package manager? [00:59] Slasher`: When trolls come in like that, you argueing is what they want - best to ignore and let ops take care of it [00:59] Lasivian: using quicksearch box in synaptic? [00:59] my usb sticks mount ok onto my gnome desktop but I can't save or open any files on them. they used to work but after i did some updates (official i might add) it started f*ing up. ideas? [00:59] yay he's gone [00:59] Synaptic [00:59] using the search function in synaptic [00:59] not just the quickbox, and yes it's recently updated [00:59] yeah i wondered about, does that to me too [00:59] earthling; are they in fat32 format? [00:59] I downloaded a GDM theme and untarred it. Now, I moved the resulting folder to /usr/shared/gdm/themes/, so how or what do I do now? [00:59] is it normal that when I press Esc in Firefox the page doesnt stop loading? [01:00] filesystem even [01:00] Slasher: yes, i forgot to mention that. [01:00] Lasivian: synaptic has two types of search now. make sure that the quicksearch text box is empty. and use the real search [01:00] has anyone gotten hamachi to work in ubuntu? i'm having trouble with it [01:00] earthling; that's weird, because I had that same problem, but it somehow fixed itself === progex is now known as jtroo [01:01] ARFGH [01:01] has anyone had this error when trying to enable dma on an ide drive ? HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [01:01] My X just died [01:01] Slasher`: mine works ONCE then any subsequent attempts i get permission errors.. darn!! [01:01] alex_21: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf has a line GtkTheme=Human you probably need to edit that one [01:02] every time I boot it get to the laoding screen fine, but then the monitor turns off when it boots into X [01:03] Muskie: sounds like it uses a resolution your monitor does not like [01:03] leoechevarria: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-501211.html [01:03] anyone know about RIS and using ubuntu as a backend [01:04] zsquareplusc: i did that, it just says Starting up... and nothing happens [01:04] joedirt: thanks, let's see [01:04] is there a way to control vmware server without using the Web interface? I cant get anything working from that, it creates the VM but i dont see where to view it or anything, back in the day there used to be a non-web interface for it :/ [01:04] i got the wine commnad to work and then it failed at the last second [01:05] Gerinych: maybe someone dual booting can jump in. i don't load windows that way anymore (virtualbox :-) [01:06] Is there any way to make urlview exit immediately after it calls the browser? I have to press an extra 'q' to get back to mutt after I'm done with w3m. [01:06] does anyone know how to boot winxp from a different hard drive than ubuntu using grub? what I do gives me a disk read error [01:07] either that or my computer going crazy cause things aren't plugged in right. [01:08] lasaudin [01:08] Muskie: please, explain yourself clearly [01:08] Gerinych: I dual boot XP and openSUSE on my laptop but from the same drive. the only difference should be in the disk you specify in the grub command. ie: hd0,0 or hd0,1 etc.. [01:09] earthling: make sure /boot and winxp are on the first drive - and install grub to that drive [01:09] can anyone tell me why that the ntfs option is greyed out in gparted when i try to make a new partition on my disk [01:09] Gerinych: ^^ [01:09] Gerinych: xp doesn't like living on a second drive and if you just swap it from drive one to drive 2 it tends to freak out [01:10] im not trying to have seperate drives [01:10] mtecknology whats /boot [01:10] roosel: Do you already have 4 partitions on the drive? [01:10] Mtecknology it would be the 4th [01:10] damn.. does anyone know what the "source" for kismet would be for an ath5k? [01:11] !language > Lasivian [01:11] Lasivian, please see my private message [01:11] roosel: my guess is that you dont have ntfsprogs or a similar package that provides a mkfs.ntfs command. but maybe it is better to use windows to format the ntfs partition anyway? [01:11] No such line GthThemes=anything [01:11] Gerinych: It's where all the bootup files to boot linux are stored. Technically it can be on any drive, buts I find it better to keep it on the first drive [01:11] hrmm okay thanks [01:12] mtecknology: ok, so all i have to do is install grub on my winxp partition? [01:12] roosel: What partitions do you already have created? [01:13] where do i find winff in the repositories? What is/are the repositories? === jay is now known as Guest7875 [01:13] Gerinych: You don't install grub to a partition. grub exists in the MBR, that's not a partition at all [01:13] !winff [01:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about winff [01:13] * dr_willis wonders what winff is. [01:13] !info winff [01:13] Package winff does not exist in intrepid [01:13] alex_21: without "s" at the end [01:14] Timslin: It looks like winff.org has your answers [01:14] would it be bad to delete the contents of /var/log? [01:14] MTecknology: Ok, I have 8Mb of unpartitioned space on the hard drive with xp's partition [01:14] Or that either withou the s [01:14] Without, sorry [01:14] I am being turned off by Ubuntu lately. I installed it on my EeePC HDA 900 and everything works perfectly except the wireless, which works about 10% of the time. Would anyone care to help me out? The steps I have taken: Installed the Eee custom Ubuntu kernal, installed the Atheros wifi drivers. What else is there I can do to make it work? [01:15] Gerinych: I don't think 8MB is enough to create a partition in... [01:15] alex_21: hm. it's what i see in my /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [01:15] gofg: use ubuntu eee [01:15] I am having wireless issues also. [01:15] MTecknology: Depends on the filesystem, probably [01:15] gofg: but it works sometimes? [01:15] osx-login About what line? [01:15] whats the terminal command to restart? [01:15] joedirt: Yes, i have not isolated what it is exactly that causes it to work [01:15] Running 8.04 on a IBM Thinkpad T30 with a Linksys G adapter [01:16] Greetings, I am new to Ubuntu, I have been using Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD for fun.However, I discovered that some file names are changed into 000 after using Ubuntu , which can not be recognized or deleted by WinXP. Since the 000 keyword does not wokr quite well as it is used in many commands in Linux..I want to know if anyone can direct me to some threads on forum which discuss this matter in depth? [01:16] Gerinych: I'm pretty sure it takes more that 8MB to even create an NTFS partition [01:16] Hello all -- I'm trying to figure out how my sound works in linux [01:16] alex_21: line 347 [01:16] About what line is this, it is possible my screen reader isn't picking it up with the find command [01:16] I've been using a command line mp3 player [01:16] gofg: does it disconnect freqeuntly after some time? [01:16] ciao a tutti [01:16] Question: I used apt-get to install digikam, as i was installing it gave me a single y/n prompt like normal.. without reading i entered y, since i've never had an issue. Well something decided to install 4/5 OTHER kde applications (konq, kmail, k3b, etc), why the hell did this happen? And how can i avoid it in the future? This feels like some f'n microsoft crap.. where they sneak in other applications with one install. [01:16] and it makes a lound pop when i change songs [01:16] alex_21, I pulled out gdmsetup, made a few changes: GraphicalThemes=circles/:happygnome enabled those themes , GraphicalTheme=Human selected the theme, and GtkRC=/usr/share/themes/Glossy/gtk-2.0/gtkrc sets some other theme settings [01:16] Sorry.... gotta go for a bit. [01:16] joedirt: No, upon booting it either works until reboot or it doesn't. [01:16] !list [01:16] 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 [01:17] !language > Leefmc [01:17] Leefmc, please see my private message [01:17] hello guys [01:17] I can't log in ubuntu [01:17] black screen of death [01:17] MTecknology: Sorry, i didnt think the one letter would count as swearing heh [01:17] gofg: maybe u still want to try to blacklist ipv6 [01:17] with an ATI card [01:18] MTecknology: i can make an ext3 partition with thoughe 8mb [01:18] joedirt: How might I go about doing that? [01:18] MTecknology: So your not allowed to use swear replacements either? gosh darnet? ;) [01:18] *those [01:18] also, why would that help? [01:18] Leefmc: You did one swear and one swear replacement [01:18] Leefmc: and no, neither are allowed [01:19] Leefmc: Pay attention to what's going on and that won't happen. apt and synaptic both tell you what's going on. [01:19] MTecknology: oh he**, didnt even think that was a swear word heh. I am surprised, anyway. [01:19] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1004027 [01:19] Anyone want to help me troubleshoot this issue then? [01:19] Gerinych: exactly my point. You can create certain types of partitions in that, but not NTFS. [01:19] any help ? [01:19] can i convert films to x264/mHD using WinFF? [01:19] MTecknology: yeah but why do you need an ntfs partition for grub [01:20] gofg: add to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist a new line: blacklist ipv6 , and reboot [01:20] Gerinych: also, NTFS partitions pad themselves about 8MB so it can never touch the edge of the drive anyway [01:20] MTecknology: Well put it this way, how would i remove their sneaky software installs? Do i just say no and not install the single piece of software i wanted? [01:20] i screwed up with apt-get. I installed ruby via apt-get, then deleted the binary from /usr/bin manually. Now if i re-install ruby via apt-get i don't get the binary again. What can i do to restore everything? [01:20] MTecknology: Because digikam does not need kmail.. it never did before. [01:20] gofg: worked with my weak wifi [01:20] MTecknology: Sneaking apps with other apps is a horrid thing in my opinion. [01:20] Leefmc: exactly, try remving them and see if your original install. It's possibl it now uses that as a dependency [01:21] wondering if there is a good open source software for help desk support, ticket system, remote assistance.. the works [01:21] MTecknology: Before you were never given the default option of installing a bunch of other programs if you just want to use one.. heh [01:21] joedirt: I don't think that is the issue; i do not even have the option of joining a wifi network on the Wifi menu. I'm sorry, I was ambiguous as to what my problem was. [01:21] No luck still About what line? [01:21] Greetings, I am new to Ubuntu, I have been using Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD for fun.However, I discovered that some file names are changed into 000 after using Ubuntu , which can not be recognized or deleted by WinXP. Since the 000 keyword does not wokr quite well as it is used in many commands in Linux..I want to know if anyone can direct me to some threads on forum which discuss this matter in depth? [01:21] I mean no luck still [01:21] sinan, you tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall ? [01:21] ryanr: You'll need to disambiguate; what did it change? It is not supposed to even affect the hard drive. [01:21] Leefmc: maybe you confuse the list of dependencies with the list of pending upgrades? like apt-get is printing a list of packages if you have updates not yet installed? [01:21] Leefmc: It's not being sneaky, it's doing the best job it can at finding what dependencies you need to install the package. It's how package managers work. [01:21] MTecknology: Man, that boggles my mind.. i would have thought they would just use libraries for dependencies, not entire programs. [01:22] zsquareplusc: Pardon? All i know is i installed digikam and get 4 other programs with it. [01:22] Leefmc: that's normally the case. But that's a complaint you need to take up with the people that package the application. [01:22] nickrud: let me try :) thanks [01:22] Leefmc: Look on the bright side. At least you have an option to uninstall them. :-D [01:22] sinan, you can get a list of all installed ones with dpkg -l '*ruby*' | grep ^ii [01:23] Thank you gofg, to be frank I did not change anything, that's what surprising. [01:23] anyone having problems with songbird? as in it crahes when something is trying to be played? #songbird is no help [01:23] Unlike some DRM software. [01:23] I did tried to mount a partition sothat I can access to my harddrives and check if the documents are there... [01:24] and also did a bit browsing [01:24] that's it [01:24] ryanr: Hmm. Where did it create this new files? did these new files overwrite old WinXP files? [01:24] tiyowan: Well not really.. if it is the way MTecknology says, and the program does require those other 4 programs (which boggles my mind) then installing them would break the one program i want. Uninstalling an email client, a web browser, a media player, etc, would somehow break a photo organizer. heh [01:24] anyone know what to do with the black screen of death ? [01:24] Leefmc: Should report it. [01:24] It seems that those file named 000/001/002 without extension are based on original file of my system. [01:25] tiyowan: need to calm down first, feels like microsoft just snuck into my life again. ;) [01:25] Leefmc: well apt-cache show does not list kmail as dep for digikam, so that should not be installed. [01:25] where is the java installation path on ubuntu? I need it for Opera, i cant get java working in it :/ [01:25] Leefmc: If you uninstall kmail, it will tell you if it's going to remove your primary package or not. Just read what the messages say [01:25] In XP, I can do nothing with them, In Unbuntu, I can delete or rename it [01:25] Hey, my boot loader was on my windows recovery partition which I just erased and now I can't use grub to boot directly to the windows partition, when I select windows it says "NTLDR is missing". What's the best way to fix this? [01:25] ryanr: Do you lack files in winxp that you had before? Is this an actual dangerous situation for your OS or is this simply a nuisance? [01:26] tsrk...I think you want to use the recovery console? [01:26] ryanr: i think these are files from checkdisk [01:26] tiyowan, the windows one? [01:26] Does anyone know how to stream Shoutcast with Banshee via Firefox 3.0? Banshee opens when I click the link, but no data treams [01:26] nickrud: thanks, the line to get all packages really helped :) [01:26] tsrk...yeah, the fixmbr or fixboot cmds. [01:26] tiyowan, ok, thanks [01:26] MTecknology: Well removing it isn't the problem, im honestly not that offended by it being there (though i would like it to not be). I'm more offended by how it got on, and what needs it. Is there a log for program install/uninstall activities? So i can see make sure digikam is at fault for letting the other kde cronies in? [01:26] I have recently discovered that the WinXP is not working properly. [01:26] i'll try that [01:26] tsek: It'll overwite grub though. [01:27] What makes me worry about is the 000/001/002 files may stop me from backing up using Ghost..etc [01:27] how do i give myself superuser rights? [01:27] Leefmc: if you use aptitude there is [01:27] I will be back in a moment, thankyou [01:27] Leefmc: it's not at fault [01:27] ryanr: Do you think the ubuntu livecd caused this failure? [01:27] MTecknology: i used apt-get [01:27] !sudo | Robert_C [01:27] Robert_C: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesudo (KDE) [01:27] I mean no luck still [01:27] !sudo > Robert_C [01:27] Robert_C, please see my private message [01:27] gofg: Verify your disc. [01:27] here is the deal....i got ntfs part with windows on it, i just removed a virus and now it won't load properly and i cannot mount the volume, is there a way to fix the errors on disk from linux [01:28] tiyowan: Hm? No, Ryanr is having trouble, not I. [01:28] where is the java installation path on ubuntu? I need it for Opera, i cant get java working in it :/ [01:28] MTecknology: .. if digikam needs an email client to work properly, it is at fault. Or rather, it is responsible for the email client existing on my computer, and me seeing that as a problem, lends me to feel digikam is at fault. [01:28] Leefmc: execute "apt-cache show digikam" this will show you what the application needs to install to be able to run. I don't see anything extra except for it recomending konqueror [01:28] qwer [01:28] 654jklof [01:28] efew [01:28] t4op[y4 [01:28] njyio5p]y [01:28] asyuuu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:28] Yes I believe, these 000/001 appeared since my frist trial on Ubuntu [01:28] 54hyio45p]hy [01:28] rubix: How did you remove the virus? [01:29] tiyowan, malwarebytes [01:29] Leefmc: Like I said, if you don't like how that package is installed, you need to pring it up with the devs, not us [01:29] tiyowan, i need to get into the drive to figure out what was removed so ic an fix it [01:29] anyone know what to do with the black screen of death ? [01:29] Digit0: explain please [01:29] Running Steam through Wine causes my CPU usage to skyrocket in the system monitor, even without any games loaded....does anyone else have this problem? [01:29] MTecknology: Well i came here not knowing that, searching for knowledge, etc.. and obviously a bit peeved by the microsoft vibes i was getting. [01:30] rubix...can you boot into windows? [01:30] I'm running an athlon 64 2800+ with 1.5Gb of ram [01:30] how do you java for firefox without wine [01:30] tiyowan, no [01:30] rubix: What msg do you get? [01:31] MTecknology: At this point i'd rather just wipe all traces of kde from my system and never go back :o. I dont wanna fight for the right to not be pushed into other apps being installed [01:31] tiyowan, no message, mouse appears and screen stays black [01:31] Does anyone know about why using Ubuntu Live CD causes some files to corrupt? ((Change into filename 000 with no extension, can not do any operation on it in XP but it is possible in Ubuntu)) [01:31] MTecknology: I assumed i did that when i left Windows hehe [01:31] MTecknology: Anyway, thanks for your help, and patience. [01:31] So guys, I really want wireless to work on my Eee. That is the whole reason why I bought this. Could someone please help me out getting it to work? [01:31] Leefmc: it looks like digikam is partially a kde app - so... [01:31] ryanr: Can you open them in gedit in linux? [01:32] MTecknology: I know. [01:32] rubix: Hmm. Tried booting into safe mode win? [01:32] i didn't have any internet applications open, but my system monitor still said i was recieving data. how can i check exactly what processes are using the network? [01:32] aboucher: icedtea6-plugin provides a java plugin [01:32] ryanr, the live cd does nothing to the windows partition unless you do it yourself [01:32] MTecknology: That was partly my point. All kde apps. [01:32] gofg: did you try ubuntu eee? [01:32] Leefmc: he on [01:32] chipbuddy, you could use wireshark and see every packet [01:32] chipbuddy, install wireshark [01:32] tiyowan, i will do that [01:33] MTecknology: I'd prefer using the standard Ubuntu with the custom Eee kernal. Is Ubuntu Eee any different than that, anyway? Also, if at all possible I would prefer fixing this without having to reinstall an OS.

[01:33] h on* [01:33] tcpdump and netstat can give you an idea aswell chipbuddy [01:33] rubix: You should be able to boot into safe mode. Get in there, do a system restore if you have that active. Otherwise, run your antivirus/spyware/malware apps from there. [01:33] MTecknology: can savedefault be on two entries at the same time in menu.lst [01:34] cannot use amarok for internet radio....There is no available decoder. can someone help me figure this out [01:34] gofg: i had to install linux-backports-modules on the eeepc 700 [01:34] gofg: There are a lot of extra changes. Just try it out and see how it goes - you might be happy with the result [01:34] fresh install 8.10 === don_ is now known as Zehava [01:34] Gerinych: I have no idea, probably [01:34] MTecknology: Any way to install it from within ubuntu (is it just another kernal), or do I have to completely wipe my drive again? [01:35] bah, nevermind, i'll google it [01:35] tiyowan, got the errors on disk fixed (had to do hard shutdown) now to view logfile and see what the app removed [01:35] gofg: Just try the live cd and see how it goes. I'm pretty sure that thing is live too [01:35] hrrm, not finding us.archive.ubuntu.com? [01:35] er rather is anyone else [01:35] LiveCD :D lol [01:35] cannot use amarok for internet radio....There is no available decoder. can someone help me figure this out.. fresh install of 8.10 [01:35] i need an external optical drive [01:36] gofg: you can boot it from USB sticks too [01:36] i know [01:36] Leefmc: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome.php [01:36] that's how i installed originally [01:36] MTecknology: haha, thanks [01:36] Guest34185: which version? [01:37] MTecknology: On a side note, have you ever seen something like this before? [01:37] 1.4.10 [01:37] gofg: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/release has a umpc edition that can be put on a usb stick and be booted on the eeepc (live) [01:37] Guest34185: can u play mp3 at all? [01:37] just use it for int. radio.. I dont know [01:38] Guest34185: in preferences which engine is selected? [01:38] xine [01:38] Leefmc: ya - especially with kde. There's times where a developer wants to make a whole suite and they say "Hey this guy already did exactly what I want." So they integrate almost every part of it and are left with no reason not to include the whole package as a dependency. This isn't what happened in your case though. [01:39] Guest34185: open adept and search for restricted extras ..sth like that [01:39] Guest34185: u use ubuntu? [01:39] I'm just curious, can I install ubuntu from within another OS, say gentoo? [01:39] MTecknology: Yea im not sure what did happen, or even who is truely at fault, all i know is digikam was installed a few moments ago, and earlier today, all that other kde junk was not there heh. [01:39] (to a seperate partition, of course) [01:39] MTecknology: Anyway, thanks again [01:40] Guest34185: with ubuntu open synaptic [01:40] Leefmc: oh! [01:40] yes ubuntu [01:40] Jam3s2001: there is deboostrap. but using the normal installer is easier [01:40] MTecknology: ? (just as i was about to close my irc hehe) [01:40] Leefmc: sometimes with meta packages, they will include a new package with an update. [01:40] Guest34185: install restricted extras [01:40] ah [01:41] zsquareplusc: I'm really just trying to avoid having to dig up a cd/jumpdrive/whatever [01:41] kinda weird. mplayer went zombie. I thought the parent must be amule which was where i launch the preview. turn out the parent was firefox [01:41] Jam3s2001: there is also the network installer. you just need to load a special kernel+initrd and have internet [01:41] Leefmc: like build-essentail. It doesn't do anything itself, it's just a list of tools that are essential for building anything. If they decided ccache was essential to the build process (convenience more than essential), they would include it and you would get it in an upgrade [01:42] i have a us-122 on a dell inspiron 1501.. i want it to be my default sound device.. in sounds, i have configured it and tested.. but when i play anything in firefox it still comes out the laptop speakers [01:42] and that whole thing for nothing....

[02:03] Hey everyone, I'd appreciate some help with a GRUB problem I'm having. In the computer, (hd0,0) is Windows. I've got a USB HDD (I think it gets marked as (hd1,0) with Ubuntu on it. During the Ubuntu install, I noticed that in the final step, under Advanced options, it had some options concerning GRUB. Its default was to install to hd0,0, so I thought that that must be the wise choice. Now I find that the computer can't start unless the USB HDD is [02:03] hackel, I need to dual boot... [02:03] hackel, I only get this error when trying to boot into windows [02:04] gofg: or, you could type in crontab -e at the terminal to edit ur scheduled tasks. [02:04] tsrk, then you should probably head to a windows support network. [02:04] !grub | mcpancakes [02:04] mcpancakes: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[02:04] hackel, most of their solutions would get rid of grub is what it looks like [02:05] tiyowan, no, I erased my recovery partition which I no longer needed, forgetting that I had installed some boot stuff to it [02:05] did u backup your grub file? [02:05] this never happened to me before - i have been booting off of this livecd for months [02:05] cuz i can send you one [02:05] tsrk, yeah, windows people very rarely know what they are talking about! I'm sure if you pay someone, they will help support your proprietary operating system, however. [02:05] mcpancakes: grub wants to load /boot/grub/menu.lst which is located on the usb drive. you need to install grub in a way that this file is on your builting disk, or alternatively use the windows bootloader to load grub on the usb disk [02:05] looks like GRUB got installed intot he USB HDD. reinstalling the bootloader should fix things. just make sure it's on HDA1, or better yet, remove the USB HD when installing ubuntu! [02:05] tsrk: I think you'll need to get rid of grub to fix this one. Better to nuke grub, fix this problem, then reinstall grub. === sean is now known as Guest4272 [02:06] tiyowan, that's what fixmbr from the recovery cd did, but it still didn't fix the error, just "nuked" grub [02:06] zsquareplucs thats what you want it to load. /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:06] tsrk: Ok hold on. [02:06] what is ntldr anyway? [02:07] nearly too long; didn't read :P [02:07] abouche1: sorry? [02:07] zsquareplusc: that's what I was thinking was the issue. What does the option during the Ubuntu install (choose which drive to install GRUB to) do? [02:07] tsrk: ntldr is a file needed by winlows ;) [02:07] ribatejo, ok, so I just need to reinstall that file? [02:07] tsrk: http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm [02:07] you should be able to copy from other puter [02:07] not only that [02:08] maybe [02:08] mcpancakes: i think that just selects the bootblock to install to, not the location of the menu file [02:08] it's NT's version of grub/menu.lst kinda [02:08] once you reset the mbr [02:08] is there a list of ubuntu version numbers and code names ... so that way when i'm reading articals i can match them ? ... figured it would be an easy find in google but i guess not [02:08] tsrk: You need to be a bit careful doing this.

[02:09] but I would just copy the files needed and reinstall ...if you don't know what you are doing you will loose a lot of time [02:10] believe me..it happened to me :) [02:10] Muskie: strange, i been looking, i'll check again, thanks [02:10] here's the full text of the message I get when trying to install 8.10. http://paste.ubuntu.com/81683/ [02:10] mcpancakes: yes, that sounds like it could work :-) [02:10] I'm not even sure what it's related to [02:10] evolution wont let me setup [02:10] Does anybody know how to set up dual monitors?

[02:11] tsrk: i would try that [02:12] tsrk: You know what the best thing would be? [02:12] tiyowan, what? [02:12] tsrk: Just use testdisk. [02:12] trsk, i had a similar problem (I think) a while back trying to install; i'll see if i can find the page I found on ubuntuforums [02:12] tiyowan, what's that do? [02:12] tsrk: It's a utility you run off a cd or usb stick. [02:12] i get grub error 17 when i boot after upgrade any ideas ? google didn't help =( [02:13] tsrk: corruption could be from hardware or software [02:13] tsrk: It'll automatically scan and fix your drive. [02:13] ho w old is the computer? [02:13] ribatejo, I don't think there is any corruption [02:13] sometimes HDs go bad [02:13] ok [02:13] I just deleted what I shouldn't have [02:13] as I said I deleted the recovery partition [02:13] tsrk: It also happens when you have a lot of files on your root drive. [02:13] zsquareplusc: I'll be sure to do that. I did look into restoring the Windows MBR (uninstalling GRUB in a way), but the weird thing is, in a command prompt window, it says 'fdisk' is not an operable program. I bought this computer from Dell, is it odd that it wouldn't have it, or am I doing something wrong? [02:13] tsrk: missed that [02:13] how do i mount an iso [02:13] tsrk: Sometimes the MFT gets pushed around. [02:14] emilien: u didnt google [02:14] in the terminal [02:14] !iso | abouche1 [02:14] abouche1: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [02:14] * abouche1 tired [02:14] ribatejo, here's all that happened: Before this whole thing, the grub windows option would take me to another boot menu with windows and recovery, and I would always choose windows. Then I deleted my recovery partition and of course it couldn't use the windows option in grub because it pointed to the deleted partition, so I changed it to the windows partition, and now I'm getting this error. [02:15] thanks i forgot about the mount point [02:15] tsrk: Actually, ignore my earlier advice, the best thing in my opinion would be to run testdisk. It's bundled with many boot recovery packages. And even linux distros. In fact, I used Parted Magic today to recover my partition table. I got a bit carried away with the Create New Partition Table option. [02:15] chfwiggum: i tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 and few others to no avail [02:16] tiyowan, isn't testdisk for recovering deleted partitions? [02:17] tsrk: No. It does a lot of other stuff as well. [02:17] what is the mount point for the first cd drive [02:17] Hey guys, If i put Ubuntu on my external USB hard drive, can i use the drive on any computer-- and have internet work etc... Also will grub work? will it be able to know how to load ubuntu? [02:17] tiyowan, I looked at it and I don't think it would really help because nothing about the file systems or partitions is messed up [02:18] how can i restart ubuntu safely and saving all the changes ive done ? [02:18] is sudo any different than su really? [02:19] tsrk: look for hiren's on the net [02:19] tsrk: Up to you. You could try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-727533.html [02:19] how can i restart ubuntu safely and saving all the changes ive done ? my laptop always hangs at 98% unload at the ubuntu image [02:19] shovi, you have to configure the computer to boot from USB drive. Your mileage will vary depending on you hardware. Network could work or not. [02:19] shovi: I think GRUB will show it's normal items (from menu.lst), but if their Windows is not in the same place (hd,wherever,wherever), you couldn't boot into it. Don't quote me on any of this though. [02:20] nite nite [02:20] Okay so, clicking on a workspace in the bottom right panel (by default) does not do anything. I can see that there is a terminal window there, but clicking on it results in nothing.

[02:31] err.. boot cd [02:31] zscuareluc, thanks for helping. I'm using 8.04 so there is no backports-modules? yesterday I tried getting them but just got an error message saying that a package with that name was not found. Madwifi has been tested, oh about a dozen times to no avail. [02:31] Anyone ever tried ATunes [02:31] ?

Though my ubuntu install does read and write arabic [02:34] Does anyone know how I can find out the "Video Profile" of a video file? [02:34] In Nautilus got to edit->preferences->preview [02:34] emilyg: in the file manager go to edit > preferences, then the Preview tab... you can change it from Local Files Only to Always [02:34] mic1394: sounds like the text editor uses the wrong encoding when opening the file [02:35] Hello all. [02:35] Quick questions, is it possible to take an ubuntu install and create a ghost image of it? [02:35] puleen: yes. even better, use clonezilla [02:35] I hate having to reinstall each time I want to try a new distro [02:35] puleen: http://clonezilla.org [02:36] would be good to just backup my current install and restore whenever I feel like it [02:36] zsquareplusc, yeah just similar to how browsers would act, any idea how to change it, though I looked in input methods nothing looks helpful === Spartan is now known as spartanii117 [02:36] puleen> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 [02:36] puleen, i use clonzilla and save to my server via ssh. works great. just reinstalled using the images [02:36] puleen: there are live cds to try out things ;-) or virtual pc :-) [02:36] ok cool [02:36] does someone know how to use swfextract ?

I prefer doing the actual installs...don't ask why :) [02:36] puleen: personally, I would setup a 4 gig partition and install your test to that [02:37] clonezilla* [02:37] CarlFK1: that's not a bad idea!... [02:37] zsquareplusc, gedit [02:37] hi [02:37] actually that's a smart idea...why didn't I think of that hah! :( [02:37] Thanks CarlFK1, kindofabuzz [02:37] I need for format an external usb drive so that I can write a 5gig file to it from a mac [02:38] actually i need to do another clone now that i got it to how i like it [02:38] i think fat only supports 2 gig, mac doesn't have ext2 drivers... [02:38] guys what do u suggest for a 128MB ram celeron 800 xubuntu or fluxbuntu [02:38] mic1394: if you use its open dialog, there is an encoding option where can choose one instead of autodetection [02:38] Alposky, Chrunchbang Linux, based on Ubuntu 8.10 using Openbox [02:38] Crunchbang* [02:39] thx [02:39] thas for desktop right?

HD space is a priority [02:41] alex_21 no [02:42] leohartx: /var/log maybe? you can use "du -s -h /*" to locate the big folders === fabs1 is now known as horstle [02:42] zsquareplusc, thanks [02:42] hello all.. can someone help me with nvidia legacy drivers on ubuntu 8.10? i am not a complete n00b... and have been looking for answers to my problem for quite some time... i usually use the 173 legacy drivers and they have worked for me in the past.. if i set them up on a fresh install they work but if i update through the update manager the drivers are broken and no longer work.

[02:47] also, jeremy.. you really haven't given us much to go on [02:47] zsquareplusc : and var/log only contain less than 100mb ( when i select all files and folder) [02:47] i accidentally the whole install [02:47] leohartx: so your partition is 20 something gigs but only formated to use 8 gigs? or is it just filled up? [02:48] !wifi [02:48] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:48] need some noob help [02:48] puleen: I used to use ghost. cz isn't as slick as ghost, but I 'think' it does more [02:48] mcor: justa ask the question [02:48] jhemann: you accidentally did what? [02:48] anyone using irssi?? [02:49] zsquareplusc : no, i format 51GB for sda1 when i installed my ubuntu [02:49] I like the fact that they have a server version which I can deploy on my server and use it to image/restore all three of my machines [02:49] puleen: you use ghost - if I image a 20gig ntfs that only has 6gig used, can I restore it to a 10gig drive? [02:49] spartanii117: i have also tryed to reinstall after the kernel updates and it still wont work [02:49] nah I've never used ghost [02:49] doh [02:49] I used to do things old school way.....and almost never reinstalled unless there a GOOD reason [02:49] zsquareplusc : there're only 22.1 GB left [02:50] how do you switch to the network window in irssi? [02:50] CarlFK1: to answer your question I dont think you can, because ghost as far as I can recall ghosts the entire drive (unused space included) [02:50] But I could be wrong. [02:50] JeremyE, you still here? what's your problem? [02:51] zsquareplusc, well actually what i'm getting is this http://paste.ubuntu.com/81683/ [02:51] I am trying to install webmin from a cdrom with a .deb file and have never done an install from cd i figured out most of the command line but i am not sure which directory to put [02:51] oh great. [02:51] my HDD space in root folder is eaten up!!! ( my root folder on sda1 and my home folder on sda 5). when i use properties to view, it display only 8.7GB but in Gparted it display 29.75 GB was used. where is my disk space ??? [02:52] OK [02:52] now I have to translate everything for Artoo.. I'm probably the only one here who knows fluent astromech [02:52] I'm on [02:52] my problem is that I want the ATI-RadeonX800 driver for ubuntu, how do I get it and install it? [02:52] .... [02:52] remisson what is you issue [02:53] !ati | JeremyE [02:53] JeremyE: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:53] oh zsquareplusc, and i'm trying to install 8.10 on an asus A7N8X-E deluxe mobo and a 500GB WD SATA drive [02:53] Hey! [02:53] my HDD space in root folder is eaten up ( my root folder on sda1 and my home folder on sda 5). when i use properties to view all files and folders in root ( except /home folder), it display only 8.7GB but in Gparted it display 29.75 GB was used. where is my disk space ??? [02:53] I am trying to install webmin from a cdrom with a .deb file and have never done an install from cd i figured out most of the command line but i am not sure which directory to put [02:54] hell, when you installed ubuntu, there should be a big thing at the top of your menubar that basicaly says "hey, do you want to install the proper drivers for your video card? click here!" [02:54] the only file on the cd is the .deb file [02:54] no dang clue, mcorbettsr. perhaps set the CD as a source for packages and just apt-get install? [02:55] Where do I get songbird from the repositories? I need to do it via cli [02:55] or you could use synaptic [02:55] i got it to read the cd but it just wants to tell it where to put it [02:55] JermeyE I used the same feature when I installed ubuntu 8.04 with my old graphics card [02:55] mcorbettsr, you should be able to install it with the command sudo dpkg -I /media/cdrom0/* [02:55] And does songbird work with IPods === sean is now known as Guest21423 [02:55] ? [02:55] mcor: and you can't get this through the net with apt-get why? :P [02:56] is the etc folder basically the same as the program files folder in windows? [02:56] pretty much, mcorbettsr [02:56] mcorbettsr, no, /bin is the programfiles equivalent [02:56] because everything warns about using webmin from apt-get using root and the version of webmin that i burned to cd does not require root priv [02:57] Where do I get songbird from the repositories? I need to do it via cli [02:57] is there a particular reason you need to install it off a cd? apt-get install webmin will prety much clear everything up [02:57] mcorbettsr yeah but becareful of what you mess around in there you could f**k up you ubuntu install in a heat beat [02:57] heartbeat** [02:57] how do i setup a ftp on my ubuntu box ? [02:58] !ftp | TecR0c [02:58] TecR0c: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [02:58] TechROc | !FTP [02:58] Hello, I'd like to get my hands on programming with GlibC so I have installed the libglib-dev package ans tried to compile a simple .c file containing #include . gcc issues an error complaining about glib.h not found. Do I need to do configure anything to use glib in my programs? [02:58] apparently that is how i learn this shadow f it up then figure out what was wrong and try again :) [02:58] ans ==>and [02:58] how do i setup in the terminal ? because i am currently sshing to my box ? [02:58] !webmin [02:58] 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. [02:59] @zsquareplusc actually nevermind on that, i think it was a hardware issue. I stood my box upright and got it to load 8.04; retrying 8.10 [02:59] If I want to "image" the current state of my install, sort of like a backup, so then later instead of reinstalling everything I would be able to just restore the image.. what app could do that? [02:59] there you go, mcorbettsr. webmin doesen't even work right. :P [02:59] does anyone know if pulse audio has problems running on old hardware (pIII 500mhz 256 Ram)?? [02:59] '!webmin |mcorbettsr [02:59] '!webmin | mcorbettsr [02:59] TecROc, sudo apt-get install ssh-server [02:59] hiya [02:59] Where do I get songbird from the repositories? I need to do it via cli [03:00] actually, shout'em out, how are your mobo's secured to your cases. i used to have some plastic pegs that it latched onto but those broke, and now i'm using these screws and it just sorta hangs there without any nuts to attach. [03:00] spartanii117 i am currently shhing to my box but i want to setup ftp so i can transfer files to there [03:00] my remote desktop stopped responding, was in the middle of raring and uploading to RS and everything has stopped. I'm using Ubuntu, what can i do? [03:00] TecR0c: you can just use sftp, it's part of the ssh server [03:00] TecROc: you can use SCP to do that. You should be able to do that. [03:00] Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him? [03:01] TecR0c, you can use scp instead, it is more secure and already installed, the syntax is "scp file user@host:destination [03:01] ...because he's faster than a speeding bullet, but his speed is undefined relative to a pistol? [03:01] !songbird | alex_21 [03:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about songbird [03:01] we had it up and running two days ago but had to switch to other server hw and this time i want to learn to install it myself [03:01] kindofabuzz: cause superman is a dick. www.superdickery.com and I apologise for using apparently rude words. :P [03:02] anybody? [03:02] has anyone tried to setup wvdial and a usb connection to a mobile phone? [03:02] sorry i didn't even mean to post that here [03:02] rofl [03:02] I can't seem to get it working [03:02] Hmr, I think the method with creating a tar of / seems quite simple.

[03:02] grendal_prime, i doubt it, nfs is very easy to set up though [03:03] spartanii117 what if i want to get files off a windows box to a linux box ? [03:03] One more question, when I turn on the computer [03:03] TecR0c, winscp [03:03] it tells me that I'm running in low graphics mode [03:03] grendal_prime, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html [03:04] spartanii117 thanks. [03:04] is there anything i have to setup on my linux box for it to work ? [03:04] TecR0c, no problem [03:04] Where do I get songbird from the repositories? I need to do it via cli [03:04] it gives me one error that says, running in low graphics mode, and a second that says to reconfigure hardware, restore to default, or continue in low [03:04] what is my problem?

[03:10] hackel : in root folder (/) it display 100% was used, but i mouted my /home on other partition [03:11] It just says e: could not find package songbird [03:11] _Zeus_, the mobo can, but the thing is, the sata disk takes the place of the 2nd ide disk [03:11] leohartx, it will scan whatever you want based on the mount point, it doesn't care which partition it's on. [03:12] hackel : arrange by size, it's display biggest folder is home with 44.7 GB [03:12] leohartx, right, that is to be expected.

[03:16] hackel : btw, i used show hidden files and folders in nautilus [03:16] hi, execpt a few kernels installed here, the rest of them are drpping into a busybox, how do i get out of it? [03:16] anyone used ndiswrapper? I tried, but just got a bunch of errors about "too few arguments" etc. Any ideas? [03:16] leohartx: maybe you can !pastebin the output of df -h ? [03:16] god... trying to get mod_rewrite to work with apache2 on ubuntu is totally brain and fucked. [03:16] !ndiswrapper [03:16] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:16] excuse me im trying to install the packages i need to compile kernels and stuff, and according the the ubntu community webstie /Kernel/Compile it says i have to install linux-kernel-devel, but then it says that it cant find such a package [03:17] veltsu - use the GUI that ubuntu provides [03:17] works good [03:17] hackel : my problem is about root partition ( i mean sda 1) [03:17] !language | Emphastala [03:17] Emphastala: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:17] leohartx, I'm not sure what to tell you... baobab has always worked fine for me. [03:17] Dracie, how can I access the GUI for ndiswrapper? [03:18] if you installed it, it is in system -> administration -> windows drivers [03:18] something like that [03:18] veltsu: focus on what card you have not how to use ndiswrapper. what card do you have [03:18] yeah better idea [03:18] zsquareplusc: here : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/81707/ [03:18] I will, but then how do I install it via cli? [03:18] leohartx, ;if you chose "scan filesystem", then what is the difference between the size of / and /home? And are sda1 (/) and sda5 (/home) the only partitions mounted? [03:19] hi, execpt a few kernels installed here, the rest of them are drpping into a busybox, how do i get out of it? [03:19] RequinB4, I have an Atheros 5BMB5. Tried just about every method I've found in the past few weeks but nothing has worked [03:19] hackel : i did it [03:19] how do i manually run dpkg [03:19] veltsu: output of lspci | grep Network ? [03:19] leohartx: according to this your / has 29GB with 20GB free. and you are wondering what is using around 9GB on it? [03:19] hackel : / used 100% and home 87.8% [03:19] alex_21> just download it form here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird click on it, open with GDebi [03:20] leohartx, in GB, not percentage. [03:20] zsquareplusc: no, my sda1 is 51 GB [03:20] does any one know how to manually run dpkg [03:20] !dualboot [03:20] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [03:20] zsquareplusc : but i used only 8.7 GB [03:20] leohartx: yes, you're right [03:20] abdoullah: waht are you trying to do [03:21] umm, has anyone got pulseaudio to successfully work with skype?? I have problems with my mic input [03:21] hackel : root is 51 GB, and home is 44.7GB [03:21] !busybox > arvind_khadri [03:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about busybox [03:21] hello, where can I find rc.conf (or equivalent) in Ubuntu? [03:21] I screwed up some programs on my ubuntu [03:21] hackel : please remember that my /home is on other partition [03:21] and I need a way to just revert back to yesterday or something [03:21] RequinB4, nothing at all [03:21] so that it's the same it was before [03:21] is ther any way to do that [03:22] Hi can anyone help me with that ? http://pastebin.com/d38f72529 I had MonoDevelop 2 alpha working perfectly fine after updating to 8.1 i can't get it working ? [03:22] RequinB4:well i get this message saying that i need to manually run dpkg when i try to do an update [03:22] veltsu: ok, nevermind, just lspci then and look for the line with your wireless card and past it here [03:22] !grub [03:22] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:22] leohartx, yes I know, that really makes no difference. [03:23] abdoullah: might want to pastebin the error and what you were trying to do when you got it [03:23] I just burnt an Xubuntu CD, can I verify it without rebooting?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [03:24] leohartx, my suggestion remains, to search all your folders in baobab (except for /home, because it's on another partition), and figure out what is using up 29G/51G on that partition. [03:24] !g1 [03:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about g1 [03:24] JeremyE> did you take a look at some of the links that were posted... especially the one from !ati [03:24] RequinB4, here's the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/81709/ [03:24] !msgthebot | jmod [03:24] jmod: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots.

DPKG --configure package_name.deb? [03:25] hi, what service is responsible for allowing my windows box to resolve my linux host to an ip address? [03:25] OK, I installed ubuntu 8.10 with Wubi from a windows XP system and am wondering what will happen if I just re-install wubi, will I lose all my settings, files, stuf like that? [03:25] on the local lan? [03:25] i'm having trouble enabling a VNC password for a KVM guest. it is ignoring the parameter. anyone have this working? [03:25] because at hte moment it is resolving incorrectly [03:25] alex_21, dpkg -i [03:25] aLex_21, dpkg [03:25] I just burnt an Xubuntu CD, can I verify it without rebooting? [03:26] veltsu: you should be able to go to system - admin - restricted driver manager and install them [03:26] hackel : aren't them displayed all in size column ? [03:26] RequinB4: i pasted it now what do i do give you the address [03:26] abdoullah just paste the url here [03:27] hackel : and in properties ? [03:27] RequinB4:http://paste.ubuntu.com/81711/ [03:27] RequinB4, the "restricted driver man" is probably in 8.10, right? I'm using 8.04, which, if I'm not mistaken has the same thing at "Sys->Admin->Harware drivers"? [03:27] veltsu: yes [03:28] adboullah: run 'dpkg --configure -a' without the ' [03:28] RequinB4:yes [03:28] hy [03:28] alex_21> http://paste.ubuntu.com/81713/ [03:28] abdoullah: ? run that in applications - acessories - terminal [03:29] i've got 500 GB to play around with, someone want to recommend a partition scheme? [03:29] RequinB4, the support for Atheros wireless is enabled, but I still don't see any networks. I should say that I first installed 7.10, and the wireless worked with the proprietary drivers. Then updated to 8.04 and the wireless isn't working anymore [03:29] I have 8.10 on 2 machines (3 hours apart). ports are forwarded for ssh and vnc. I have root on both machines but another user is logged in(and absent) and I want to start a vnc session through ssh but on his session. Can this be done? [03:29] RequinB4: it gives me another message [03:30] leohartx, yes, if you add up all the "size" column values in baobab, they should add up to / (29G + size of /home) [03:30] abdoullah paste that [03:30] hello guys can any one of you please help me in connecting to a remote user through the internet [03:30] !ssh [03:30] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [03:30] jhemann, 5g for Ubuntu, and have fun with the rest of it. [03:30] RequinB4:http://paste.ubuntu.com/81714/ [03:30] putty tray rocks! [03:30] Now how do I start songbird? [03:30] in exodus, I am using ssh. I don't want to tunnel in to a new session, I want to hijack the existing one. [03:31] i meant, like, separate /home or /var and /usr [03:31] abdoullah: put 'sudo ' in front of the above command [03:31] then type in your pw [03:31] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [03:31] ok === adante_ is now known as adante [03:31] when i try to install linux-kernel-devel it doent work [03:31] hello guys please tell me how to connect to remote user through internet using vinagre in ibex [03:31] hackel : well, there is nothing bigger than usr folder with 3.5 GB disk space usage [03:31] Seven_Six_Two> wasn't for you, was for ihcus. my bad :) [03:31] jhemann, Then you'll have to manually partition, check the forums, or google. [03:32] ihcus, forward port 5900 on both machines [03:32] hehe, that's wher [03:32] yeah i have done that [03:32] is it possible to run gnome and kde at the same time in different tty? [03:32] leohartx, and the other folders don't add up to 25.5G? [03:32] and get the server's ip address, then connect to it(as long as the server is running a vnc server) [03:33] pulsewave, yes [03:33] i have checked the option forwarding through 5900 [03:33] Seven_Six_Two: i read something like this the other day, let me check [03:33] pulsewave, I don't think so, only one TTY supports X? [03:33] pulsewave, you switch to another session, then start another xserver [03:33] hackel : yes [03:33] veltsu: ok, i can step by step you through ndiswrapper but ideally you shouldn't need it... consider upgrading to ibex? [03:33] samhassell, thanks [03:34] I just burnt an Xubuntu CD, can I verify it without rebooting? [03:34] RequinB4:I think it worked [03:34] tried that but it says that the servers for display 0 is already busy [03:34] leohartx, you've got me, then. [03:34] I don't want to leave vnc running all the time, so I want to start it through ssh on the currently active session [03:34] abdoullah [03:34] good [03:34] I'm considering strongly. Actually requinB4, I'l just grab a cd and burn the iso to it and update to Ibex. Hopefully saves me from a lot of hassle. I'll be sure to bother you again once I'm finished with it though. Thanks for your insight :) [03:34] tried gnome-session and /etc/init.d/gdm start nothing is working [03:34] thanks [03:34] veltsu: glad i could help :P [03:34] leohartx, you could try something like "find / -type d -exec du -hs '{}' \; | grep G" to find all directories over 1GB. [03:35] pulsewave, what happens if you type startx [03:35] veltsu: though you know you can upgrade from the server without a cd [03:35] Seven_Six_Two: vncserver can be used to start your own session. so you dont need to steal an other users screen [03:35] oh, that's even better [03:35] Thanks all [03:35] !upgrade | veltsu [03:35] veltsu: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [03:35] seven_six_two : please help me ...i have to remote fix a problem on a friends laptop [03:35] zsquareplusc, thanks. I want to be able to though. It's my box. [03:35] hey i just go a sub-woofer for my sound system how can i get it so i plug it into one of the jacks in the back of my soundcard and it will play all the lows [03:36] zsquareplusc, others have access to it, but it's mine. [03:36] hackel : oh, that command list all files, and some file are not accesable [03:36] ihcus, what error do you get? [03:36] Seven_Six_Two: even if its your box, it's not nice to look at the screen of an other person [03:36] remote fixing can be done with ssh [03:36] leohartx, log in as root then. [03:36] Seven_Six_Two: but with x0rfb you should be able.. [03:36] hhh [03:36] hackel : is it ok if i use su ? [03:36] zsquareplusc, I know. I'm not monitoring. I don't want to start another session [03:37] leohartx, yep [03:37] hackel : instead of re-login\ [03:37] zsquareplusc, thanks. I'll look in to that [03:37] Seven_Six_Two: its old and has some stuff you probably already know but: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html [03:37] You can ssh tunnel, wahich is the easiest [03:37] samhassell, yeah, but don't you have to be at that machine to start it? [03:38] Seven_Six_Two: x11vnc should work too, that is apt-gettable [03:38] seven _ six_ two : all i get is a black screen thats it ! [03:38] oh wait. I can run it on that machine and export the gui here? [03:38] hackel : ubuntu is defferent from fedora, there is no step create root password, so do u know what is root default accout [03:38] Seven_Six_Two: maybe it runs as a daemon? [03:39] yeah i think thats the idea [03:39] wow, there's quite a lot of updates to install when updating from Hardy to Ibex [03:39] leohartx, just use "sudo" before the command. (fyi you can also use sudo to set a root pw... "sudo passwd") [03:39] veltsu: yay for progress! :P [03:39] possibly. I've never used it that way. I've got some googling to do I guess. Can "root" chown a proc? [03:39] hi [03:39] !hi [03:39] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:40] I just burnt an Xubuntu CD, can I verify it without rebooting? [03:40] can someone help me with mhddfs? [03:40] I'm really glad I came to the office to fix this issue. Downloading all those packages would have taken the rest of the year at home. Thank you again RequinB4 [03:40] veltsu: np [03:40] change the owner of a process to the other person running the x-session? [03:40] !root > leohartx [03:40] leohartx, please see my private message [03:41] Seven_Six_Two: hrm, let me try [03:41] hackel : i've used baobab again but uncheck sda5 ( my /home folder) in baobab preference and it display 6.2 GB was used in / [03:41] i installed ubuntu to my vista laptop in order to learn to use linux. i used wubi. but now i cna't enter ubuntu anymore as there's no more space on the linux fule system. i can't even log in. It says GDM or so can't write .... [03:41] can someone please help me to get ubuntu out of low graphics mode... [03:41] What can i do? [03:41] pieces: is there anything in system - admin - restricted drivers manager [03:41] veltsu did you use aptoncd or some other [03:42] leohartx, that is bizarre. Either both baobab and nautlius are wrong, or du/gparted is wrong. I'm not sure to be honest. You might need to run an fsck. [03:42] has anyone tried to setup wvdial and a usb connection to a mobile phone? [03:42] Jack Sparrow, what do you mean? [03:42] RequinB4 there is no restricted drivers manager [03:42] Guess I got to reboot, goodbye uptime. :( [03:42] !wubi > Guest_94 [03:42] Guest_94, please see my private message [03:43] pieces: hardware? What version of ubuntu are you running [03:43] seven_six_two: all i get is connection to host was closed :5900 [03:43] n2diy: boot it in another machine [03:43] pieces: hardware drivers [03:43] ok [03:43] ok I figured out how to switch to the user that I need to hijack [03:43] is it possible to make the bottom button bar multi line, so i can have more than 1 row of buttons? - if so how please ? [03:43] Lasivian, I wish, my other machines are down, but thanks for the reply. [03:44] Seven_Six_Two, hijack? [03:44] Logikos I'm pretty sure you can make a second panel and put it on top of the first one [03:44] ihcus, is the vnc server listening on that port? are the ports forwarded? [03:44] Jack_Sparrow Sorry, I hadn't seen the message [03:44] n2diy: you could always copy the cd back to the HD [03:44] 8.10, and I installed the driver from the Applications- add/remove [03:44] np [03:44] Logikos - right click, add new panel, put it on the same side as the first one, and edit your new panel to your liking [03:44] bazhang, sortof. it's mine and I have root, but I want to hijack a currently running x-session [03:45] RequinB4: i saw somewhere where you can make more pannels, but i'm talking about a double wide pannel so that as the first line gets full it uses the 2nd automaticly rather than makeing the buttons so tiny you cant tell what they are [03:45] hackel : it didn't work too ( i ran it on sda1, not on sda5) [03:45] Lasivian, and then what? [03:45] anyone know how to make the /etc/resolv.conf static upon reboot? [03:45] n2diy, what version of ubuntu are you using [03:45] Hey, just use an ssh tunnel and then use it to connect via vnc [03:45] What's a good app for ripping DVDs, menus and all? [03:45] Seven_Six_Two, no need ever to have 'root' [03:45] bazhang, err, umm, aa, 5.10 [03:45] linux29694: you could try chattr -i I think [03:45] dnyy: k9copy, acidrip [03:45] bazhang, um, ok thanks. [03:45] tried that temppy [03:46] dnyy, k9copy [03:46] RequinB4: which is better in your opinion? [03:46] leohartx, you should run it from a boot CD, so it can fix any problems. [03:46] Logikos: i'm not sure that's possible in GNOME. using two panels is just as good [03:46] dnyy: depends on what you're doing [03:46] temppy: i get the error: chattr: Operation not supported while reading flags on /etc/resolv.conf [03:46] RequinB4: k, thanks [03:46] n2diy, that is end of life. get a newer version if you want support [03:47] dnyy: try out both [03:47] Hi all, I've got a problem with skype not being able to use pulseaudio for audio capture. Has anyone fixed that successfully? [03:47] !pulse [03:47] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [03:47] RequinB4: I would, but my CD drive magically started working, so I'm gonna try and do it as fast as I can so it doesn't stop working before it's done ripping. :p [03:47] RequinB4: 8.10, and I installed the driver from the Applications- add/remove [03:47] bazhang, that's what I'm trying to do, but I want to verify my burns on the way. I have a 6.06 disk here, but it won't install, so I'm hoping upgrading will work? [03:47] n2diy, you cannot do the disk integrity check without rebooting, no. [03:47] dnyy: k9copy has more options but is more userintensive, basically [03:47] alex_21, I'm logged in as the user who started the session [03:48] ubottu, thx [03:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about thx [03:48] n2diy, you can md5 the iso before burning [03:48] alex_21, over ssh. [03:48] giganto: ubottu is a bot ^^ [03:48] RequinB4: I'll try that, then. Is it possible to rip the menus and special features too? [03:48] dnyy: iirc yes but it depends on your settings and the way the DVD is set up [03:48] anyone know how to make the /etc/resolv.conf static upon reboot? [03:48] RequinB4, opps thanks to u then lol [03:48] bazhang, When booting the CD you have the option to verify it, I was hoping to do that, without rebooting? [03:48] RequimB4: Alright, thanks. :) [03:49] n2diy, of course the answer is no. [03:49] bazhang, :( Thanks. [03:49] hackel : i'm uploading my printed screen, ill send link for u [03:49] can any one tell me how to make my mic detect ?? [03:50] 73 all [03:50] pieces: you need new video drivers, and i'm not sure what the exact link is on 8.10 [03:50] what is the comand to find a certain file on your ubuntu box ?/ [03:50] TecROc: find, locate, which, whereis [03:50] TecROc: find [03:50] depending of course [03:50] Seven_Six_Two: using x11vnc its really easy,just tried it myself :-) [03:50] hackel : http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z306/leohartx/Screenshot.png [03:50] is ogmrip a good dvd ripper/encoder? [03:51] anyone know how to make the /etc/resolv.conf static upon reboot? [03:51] how do i get the adobe flash player for firefox? [03:51] zsquareplusc, I'll give it a shot. thanks [03:51] PATX: install the flashplugin-nonfree package [03:51] linux29694: Modify the network config I guess. [03:51] RequinB4: this is pieces, I just switched computers. Should I uninstall the drivers I have now? [03:52] can any one tell me how to make my mic work ?? [03:52] Rew: no, if you're lucky there is a menu in system - admin that will do yours for you [03:52] dbe_: how do i access the network config, its the vpn settings that keep changing my dns [03:52] RequinB34: can you elaborate on that more? [03:52] Rew: I don't run 8.10 so i don't know what its called, sorry [03:53] RequinB4: er sorry i ma a newb, but how do i do that??? [03:53] linux29694: if oyu are using intrepid, try system->prefs->network [03:53] PATX, go to system - admin - synaptic package manager, search for flashplugin-nonfree, and check it, apply, etc [03:53] What kernel does Intrepid Ibex use on its install CDs/DVDs? [03:53] RequinB4: ok thanks [03:53] Seven_Six_Two: Server is already active for display 0 [03:53] linux29694: its /etc/init.d/network in Debian. Perhaps Ubuntu has some scripts that relys on the settings for /etc/resolv.conf for this. I don't know. [03:53] RequinB4: ok ty [03:53] I'm using DrScheme to acquire packages from their source... it keeps saying that my port 80 tcp is blocked... I have an apache lamp setup so I imagined it's blocked because of that. I shut down apache via /etc/init.d/apache shutdown, and further I turned off the port at the router level, but still DrScheme can't break through.. any ideas? [03:53] dbe__: its all empty there, no dns settings there that keep changing my resolv.conf [03:54] the find command does not seem to be able to find anything. [03:54] dbe: in addition, there is no setting there for setting dns in intrepid [03:54] linux29694: Then I don't know, sorry. [03:54] the find command can find anything if it is there [03:54] man find [03:54] TecROc: try locate, find is tricky [03:54] dbe__: only dhcp [03:54] leohartx, yes, something is very wrong. Either baobab is not detecting all the files on your disk, or you have filesystem errors that need to be corrected. The best way to do this is to use a boot CD, otherwise you can reboot into rescue mode, remount your / as readonly, and fsck from there. [03:54] man find will help you out though [03:54] find is not tricky, it requires that you read though which is a bit tricky for this distro [03:54] TecROc: Its is, your user perhaps don't have permission to do so? [03:55] can get miro to run in kubuntu....... got it going in ubuntu [03:55] What kernel does Intrepid Ibex use on its install CDs/DVDs? [03:55] bruenig: requires you to read = tricky for a lot of users :P [03:55] truthslave: protip: they are the same [03:55] how do i do it ?

[03:56] PATX: that package should be enough unless you've manually set a weird plugin setting [03:56] ok [03:57] RequinB4: youtube says: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. [03:58] pulsewave, sorry, yeah, I just read that. I'm just creating the cfg file === kaiser is now known as Guest22495 [03:58] I'm using DrScheme to acquire packages from their source... it keeps saying that my port 80 tcp is blocked... I have an apache lamp setup so I imagined it's blocked because of that. I shut down apache via /etc/init.d/apache shutdown, and further I turned off the port at the router level, but still DrScheme can't break through.. any ideas? [03:58] anyone have luck install ubuntu on a dell xps one a2010 [03:58] PATX: um, if you're sure flashplugin-nonfree is installed correctly, allow javascript (in edit-preferences or allow youtube in noscript) [03:59] leohartx, try this: "sudo touch /forcefsck" then reboot, it should check the partition automatically. then remove the /forcefsck file when you are done. [03:59] RequinB4: ok ty again [03:59] iit has an intel graphics card and i can only get 800x600 res with vesa setting [03:59] hrm, i can't get this find command to work.

[04:01] okron1k Ask you r question and wait.. if no answer in a couple minutes repeat it or re-phrase it [04:01] PATX: ok... since you're asking me I assume you don't have noscript installed, so that's probably not the problem [04:01] hackel: heh, taht works? i was reading tune2fs manpage to find out how to do that. looks like -C 99 should help too [04:02] just installed ubuntu 7.10. network manager will not connect to my router. it's wired [04:02] zsquareplusc, I don't know, actually I've never tried it, but reading /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh it looks like it should work.

If you already have Tcl installed on this system, and I just wasn't looking in the right place for it, re-ru ./configure using the --with-tcllib='/path/to/libtcl.so' and --with-tclinc='/path/to/tcl.h' options.

(old computer). i wonder if i can install ubuntu from windows, is this possible? please message me privately if you have an idea, thanks in advance. [04:02] PATX: type in your pw (it won't show up) [04:03] RequinB4: ok [04:03] dukenukem install it as an application [04:03] and that will wipe my windows installation and start the ubuntu install process?

[04:05] i see. the poweriso. when i install as dual-boot, can i then get rid of windows after that? [04:06] hackel : it was showed, but only 1GB [04:06] leohartx, run "gksu baobab" and see what is using up space in your /var partition. Are you perhaps running an email server that got out of control or something?

[04:07] RequinB4: 8.04 [04:07] Ubuntu should really have a user-friendly frontend to fsck partitions, with an option that allows the user to schedule a fsck for the root partition at next boot to fix any errors it finds. [04:07] RequinB4: 8.10 sorry.. sausage fingers [04:07] when i run ./configure does not correctly detect the location of your Tcl library and header file. how can i find out where they are so i can point them in the correct location ?

[04:08] Guest22495: oh, i see [04:08] KlrSpz, that is not user friendly (and is also a suggestion I just made to another user a few minutes ago) [04:08] the most user friendly way would be where a gui is never needed.. :) [04:08] anyone have any insight to the nvidia drivers in 8.10???? i can't get the nvidia driver working [04:08] or any other interaction... [04:08] hackel: eh, this is linux... i guess it's not all meant to be user friendly [04:09] KlrSpz, a lot can depend on the specific video card sadly, and the rest of the system. I have 3 nvidia systems where they are working. [04:09] !ot [04:09] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics.

[04:09] KlrSpz, Ubuntu is, actually... And my nvidia drivers have always worked perfectly. [04:09] bbuzzwords :) [04:09] Dr_willis: Go 7300; according to their docs it's supported [04:09] PATX: grasping at straws, but 1) restart firefox 2) look for a little s on the bottom right of firefox just in case [04:09] KlrSpz, yep. Theres been issues sadly. I guess i am lucky all 3 of my nvidia systems work. [04:09] leohartx: no had to do safe graphics mode [04:09] useless [04:10] i just installed ubuntu 8.10 and i can not connect to my router via wire. any suggestions? new to linux [04:10] PATX: that should NOT be necessary and probably won't fix the problem...

If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [04:11] lawnninja, the vmware front end i think as settings for that. Ive not used it in ages.. i tend touse virtualbox now a days [04:11] PATX: have you ever tried to mess with firefox's plugins before? === fandi is now known as ce_NO_1 [04:11] leohartx, what files are so huge?

[04:12] I have a problem with Ubuntu constantly resetting my Firefox page-print/setup to US-Letter and some other settings (like margins etc)... how the hell can I stop Ubuntu doing this? [04:12] hackel : is it ok if i delete all contents in it ? [04:12] Dr_willis not sure where to change it, I've been searching for a while [04:13] I mean, other than the US and one or two small countries, the rest of the world tends not to use US-Letter :( [04:13] aplications | places | systems on top pannel also do nothign when clicking on them...

Next big problem [04:14] PATX: those might not be the exact directories [04:14] fresh ubuntu 8.10 and i can not connect to my router via wire. any suggestions? new to linux. when i click network manager > auto eth1 it tries to get ip but after 30 seconds or so i get a disconnected message [04:14] I'm not getting any audio out of my sound card.. it's installed, it's runnng, but no audio output [04:14] leohartx, it shouldn't be a problem, though you might want to at least keep one backup copy of the main files there (aptitude.pkgstates.0 dpkg.status.0 group.bak gshadow.bak infodir.bak passwd.bak shadow.bak). [04:14] Ubuntu just shouldn't be meddling with those setting :( (btw, language warning?) [04:14] it's an NVIDIA AC97. [04:14] RequinB4: how do i get to those? [04:15] inflex, check your printer default settings via system -> administration -> printing [04:15] please help, i was playing with the pannels in ubuntu 8.04, and told the bottom panel to go to the left edge, it did, but the buttons represeinting the open windows are not on it now, and i cant figure out how to get it back down [04:15] so i need to use the nvidia binary????? [04:15] when I run zsnes I get a buffer overflow [04:15] hackel : geez, when i delete it , it moved to root/.local/share/trash [04:16] hackel : how do i delete it ?

You can try. [04:16] Guest22495: it's really strange, ubuntu supported intel G31 chipset in default [04:16] brut-: any idea what actual application that invokes? (running Fluxbox here) [04:16] leohartx, just delete the files in that directory. In general I would recommend getting more familiar with the command line tools and not using nautilus, to avoid things like this in the future. [04:17] inflex, "python /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py" without the quotes [04:17] tx [04:17] KlrSpz, but i m now stuck in low graphic mode after mixing things up, and cann't figure what went wrong [04:18] brut-: tx, that worked - except, the amusing thing is that it's A4 :D [04:18] i have used synaptic and also the add/remove dialog to install adobe flash yet when i go to tools / add ons in FireFox it does not show up (and i cant load flash sites obviously) [04:18] i have used synaptic and also the add/remove dialog to install adobe flash yet when i go to tools / add ons in FireFox it does not show up (and i cant load flash sites obviously) === _lifi is now known as lifi [04:18] jctheman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:18] GROWL [04:18] Guest22495: even on livecd ? [04:19] leohartx, yes, remove them from there. [04:19] KlrSpz May I have a word please [04:19] go for it [04:19] fresh ubuntu 8.10 and i can not connect to my router via wire. any suggestions? new to linux. when i click network manager > auto eth1 it tries to get ip but after 30 seconds or so i get a disconnected message [04:19] leohartx: xdriver=vesa didnt work for booting sabayon and had to boot in safe graphics mode in ubuntu live cd [04:19] hackel : but it's not possible, i did it but nothing work [04:20] okron1k: have you looked at ifconfig? [04:20] KlrSpz, there is no such thing as flawless software especially O/S's [04:20] hrm [04:20] temppy: i did but it didn't make any sense to me [04:20] Baba_B00ie: 8.04 was pretty flawless in the graphics area [04:20] ifconfig [04:20] I managed to fight my cellphone all the way to connecting as ppp0, but I can;t get it to use that for internet [04:20] okron1k, having an "eth1" suggests you have 2 ethernet interfaces on your pc..., check to see if you have a 2nd ethernet jack on your pc [04:21] leohartx, "sudo rm -r /root/.local/share/Trash" [04:21] it shows up in ifconfig, but it doesn't send data over that connection [04:21] brut-: i do have 2 [04:21] okron1k: do you have pastebinit installed? [04:21] hackel : i did it, but not work [04:21] KlrSpz, this is the nature of being always upto date, not always that stable. And these are restricted closed drivers [04:21] leohartx, What happened? [04:21] i'm running intrepid and it seems 'flawless' to me lol i had more issues with 710 and 804 [04:21] I need help with my video driver. anybody experienced with ati radeon? [04:21] okron1k, then you're probably plugged into the wrong ethernet card, or your don't have dhcp from your router [04:21] temppy: i am not sure. how can i check? its fresh 8.10 i havent touched or changed anything. [04:21] it did the same thing to me [04:21] hackel : i'm trying to use sudo nautilus /root/.local/share/Trash to access the trash and delete them [04:22] hackel : i'm using shift + delete now [04:22] leohartx NEver sudo Nautilus..

[04:22] hackel : ok, i managed it, it's gone [04:23] leohartx: and even then using nautlius as a root user generally is a recipe for mishap and reinstallation [04:23] hackel : ty [04:23] does anyone know anything about stepmania???

[04:28] how can i update my ubuntu from 8.04 to 8.10? [04:28] !upgrade | y0315219 [04:28] y0315219: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [04:28] Seven_Six_Two: so i need to look into configuring xserver? [04:28] Dr_willis: please what? [04:28] temppy: i cant get to internet on the ubuntu box so i wont be able to pastebin. [04:28] Dr_willis: what does ssh-copy-id do [04:28] and i just downloaded stepmania from mania.com/wiki/Downloads [04:28] Decepticon, I just use the ssh-copy-id command - check its man pages.. It does.. err.. what you are trying to do manually I guess.. :) [04:29] then i clicked on linux binary [04:29] Decepticon: if the one machine doesn't have public keys, then first run ssh-keygen -t rsa [04:29] leohartx: sorry want me to put it there i always used other site for sabayon [04:29] Dr_willis: that assumes that i havent done the pubkey copying itno authorized_keys properly, which im prettuy sure i did, sincei followed the same steps on A and B [04:29] and did extract it to my desktop [04:29] y0315219, please read the link ubottu gave you [04:29] i did put some song's in where they where do go but stepmania still dosen't work [04:29] Decepticon: ssh-copy-id does the pubkey copying into the remote machine's authorized_keys [04:29] can anyone help me out??? [04:30] Decepticon, oh yea... what jtaji said... I just gen keys on one, copy it to the other with that command.. ssh to other box then make keys there also.. - Im not sure what all you ahve done.. but it took me all of 3 min to get where i can ssh from any box on my lan to any other box on the lan with no passwords [04:30] skii69, I was helping you. [04:30] jtaji: which ssh-keygen command am i supposed to use, everyone keeps saying different things, some say ssh-keygen -d, some say ssh-keygen -t rsa, some say ssh-keygen -t dsa... which one is the one i need and why [04:30] skii69, you need to be patient. [04:30] Decepticon, not sure how Secure that all is now.. but im on a home lan. [04:30] Dr_willis: i did ALL THAT ARELQASRUY [04:30] sorry [04:30] i did all that already, [04:30] i am [04:30] now what r ur ?'s\ [04:30] Decepticon, i guess you missed somthing then. [04:31] Dr_willis: i CORRECTLY copied A's pubkeys into B's authorized_keys file, and vice versa, so i DONT understand what IS MISSING [04:31] does anyone here use pine? [04:31] what the hell is missing please tell me [04:31] ive been dealing with this headache for over a week now [04:31] nobody seems to know [04:31] !ask | Tyrath_ [04:31] Tyrath_: 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. :-) [04:31] Decepticon, i just use the ssh-keygen command, with no options. I guess if you want to be more paranoid use others.. Could be the modes on the keyfiles.. ssh has a -vvvv type ververy very very verbose logging feature that may give a clue [04:31] Decepticon_ check permissions of ~/.ssh on the box where the login fails [04:31] Decepticon: I don't think -d is a valid option... as for RSA vs DSA it doesn't matter [04:31] bazhang: did u read the pastebin??? [04:32] Dr_willis: thats what i did originalyl [04:32] ok, does anyone here know how to set up a printer for pine? [04:32] fresh ubuntu 8.10 and i can not connect to my router via wire. any suggestions? new to linux. when i click network manager > auto eth1 it tries to get ip but after 30 seconds or so i get a disconnected message [04:32] Dr_willis: and i still got asked for passswords when trying to login from A onto B [04:32] Decepticon: rsa is default if not using -t [04:32] going to .pinerc and simply entering my printer name next to printer= doesn't seem to cut it [04:32] skii69, yes I did. please answer my other question<----what instructions did you follow [04:32] zsquareplusc: everything is either -rw-r--r-- or -rw------- [04:32] got them from the net [04:33] - which is bizarre considering that's all I pretty much needed to do for vim to get it printing [04:33] Decepticon world readabulity of some files is disliked by sshd and it will ignore your files [04:33] okron1k: does ytour router have dhcp turned on? [04:33] jrib: do you use pine/alpine? [04:33] Tyrath_: nope [04:33] :( [04:33] Lasivian: i'd assume so as i have a connection everywhere else. i will double check [04:33] ok, no one knows so I'll resume googling [04:34] thanks anyhow [04:34] jtaji: it doesnt matter, ive tried ssh-kegen -t rsa and dsa and ssh-keygen -d and plain ssh-keygen, if i do the same commands on both machines, still only B can log onto A without being assked for a password, whereas A is asked for a password when trying to get onto B, whats the use of keys if i have to type a password [04:34] can someone help me with my videocard have to boot as vesa in safe graphics mode [04:34] okron1k: traffic/connection lights? [04:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/81735/plain/ here my lspci [04:34] so you see why im frustrated with this POS machinawefjkaf [04:35] can someone give me a hand with my video driver [04:35] Decepticon_ also did you try to install the same public key on both? and are you using ssh -i or ssh-agent to handle the private key? [04:35] Lasivian: there are. mainly because of the computer im using now [04:35] zsquareplusc: i dont want to deal with ssh-agent faggotry [04:36] O.o [04:36] !language | Decepticon_ [04:36] Decepticon_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:36] wish me luck with a partial upgrade to jaunty [04:36] sorry [04:36] zsquareplusc: im not following you on ssh -i [04:36] bazhang: go here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/13872 that's what i did to install stepmania and it still doesn't work [04:36] i don't know what i'm do'n wrong [04:36] zsquareplusc: i dont kow what you mean by installing same public key [04:36] i am new with use'n linux i have used it for only about 3 to 4 week's [04:37] Decepticon_ so you installed the public key on the remote machine. now you have to tell the client to use the corresponding private key [04:37] I have been using it for 2 hours now [04:37] !doesntwork [04:37] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [04:37] It's nice to get away from Windows, I like Ubuntu [04:37] zsquareplusc: i followed http://www.sshkeychain.org/mirrors/SSH-with-Keys-HOWTO/ word for word [04:37] Decepticon_ with installing i mean you put the key in authorizes_keys [04:38] Lasivian: there are. mainly because of the computer im using now [04:38] yes like i said... i put A's pub key into B's authorized keys, and B's pub keys into A's authorized keys already [04:38] i already did that numerous times, with different ssh-keygen settings [04:38] but im still getting the SAME result of A being asked for a password when trying to log onto B [04:38] listen i will pay someone via paypal to help me resolve this nfs mounting issue. please /msg me it's hard to read the channel on this term. [04:38] whereas B can log onto A without a password propmt [04:39] bazhang: u still there??? [04:39] someone must know what the * is wrong with this thing [04:39] Decepticon_: are you sure you are not being asked for the key's password? [04:40] why would i be asked the password, i did empty passphrases during ssh-keygen steps, throughout the whole ordeal [04:40] and even if it was asking me for that, i wouldnt want to type that, i want passwordless [04:41] can someone help me get my ati driver working [04:41] Lasivian: thanks for trying. im getting annoyed here i'll just give up on linux again for a while. bye [04:41] Decepticon_ so you have 2 different private keys, you are not using ssh-agent and not using ssh -i keyfile. so how do you know that the correct private key is used? also try connecting with ssh -v to see which keys it tries [04:41] I wanted to add a user to /etc/sudoers, but /etc/sudoers isn't writable. So I made it writable, and now sudo refuses to run because /etc/sudoers is 0640 instead of 0440/ [04:41] So... what now? [04:41] visudo [04:41] zsquareplusc: i already have the ssh -vvv output if you want to see it [04:41] puff: change it back using recovery mode [04:41] skii69, am still researching this, will take more than two minutes [04:41] Decepticon_ if no keys are found, it drops back to password authentication. i guess thats the prompt you see [04:42] oops [04:42] zsquareplusc: this is A trying to log onto B: http://decepticon.rlogin.org/~decepticon/ssh.log [04:42] debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password [04:42] debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method [04:42] i didn't get that, what did u say??? [04:42] hey folks i have a question [04:42] When pulse audio daemon is starting I get these errors: http://pastebin.com/f5aa59ec9 . Pulse audio works fine most of the time, but sometimes it stop working, I'm wondering if it could be related to these errors? [04:42] afaik zsquareplusc it says we did not send a packet, why is that, why did A not send the packet [04:42] willing to pay money for someone to fix my folder sharing problem [04:43] jrib: Okay, and after that, what's the "right" way to add users to /etc/sudoers? [04:43] just wanted to announce that i figured out how to get the printer working for alpine, not difficult at all - didn't even need to google. if anyone else has any issues with this please talk to me if I'm in. Cheers [04:43] if u install windows xp on a machine where ubuntu was installed on a diff partition how do u restore the bootloader later on? [04:43] bazhang: i didn't get that, what did u say to there??? [04:43] !grub [04:43] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:44] !64bit [04:44] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [04:44] zsquareplusc: anything of interest in A's ssh -vvv log, when trying to log onto B [04:44] Decepticon_ also check your /var/log/auth.log on the server side [04:44] Can anyone help me get Skype running on 64-bit Ubuntu? [04:44] thanks ubottu [04:44] you mean B's auth.log? [04:45] $$ REWARD: help me get file and folder sharing working. [04:45] puff: sudo visudo [04:45] Decepticon_ the one on the server. it contains logs of attempted logins [04:45] jon5000: right click on a folder in nautilus -> sharing options [04:45] Decepticon_ alternatively you could stop sshd, and run sshd -d, that prints the servers debug messages in the console [04:45] zsquareplusc: i have B's auth log: http://s.tazeat.com:1234/~bizinichi/auth.log [04:46] hello there. i am installing ubuntu however the install screen is corrupted - something to do with the graphics card or monitor drivers i guess. i have lines flickering up the screen and double mouse icons. please help. [04:46] Decepticon_ .... bad ownership or modes for directory /home/bizinichi/.ssh [04:46] jrib: believe me, i have tried all sorts of stuff with samba, etc. the issue is i want to share a folder which will be read by XP. it is an appropriate file format [04:46] any reason why the oOo file i downloaded (.doc) is opening in read-only, that is annoying as hell [04:46] zsquareplusc: i will paste ls of /home/bizinichi/.ssh [04:46] i can't edit it [04:47] jrib: if you care to join the fight, i welcome you! [04:47] jon5000: all you have to do is enable sharing as I described. Once you do that, explain what happens [04:47] skii69 are you using the tar.gz or the deb? [04:47] bdelin881: make it readable? [04:47] er [04:47] oy [04:47] writeable [04:47] zsquareplusc: http://s.tazeat.com:1234/~bizinichi/ssh.ls [04:47] arktvrvs: why does it make it read-only by default, that is retarded [04:47] can someone please help with video drivers, ati [04:48] zsquareplusc: everything is either -rw-r--r-- or -rw------- [04:48] arktvrvs: i shouldn't have to set every file i download to rw [04:48] bdelin881: hard telling, could be any number of reasons. .. but right click it, go to permissions, and you can make it writable [04:48] arktvrvs: already tried that [04:48] i have done that. I have enabled file sharing for specific folders, and have followed numerous howto's etc. i have messed with samba until my smoke poured from my eyes. thats what happened [04:48] Decepticonand you are the owner? not someone else? [04:48] zsquareplusc: i have root on both A and B [04:49] hi guys, if you need to set "options" in your x config for your video card to work properly, where is that done in 8.10 now? [04:49] jon5000: well I have no idea what "messing with samba" means. Undo the "messing" and enable it using the gui as I described, so we can debug... [04:49] sorry to repeat myself, i wonder if someone coul dbe kind enough to help me out. i am installing ubuntu over windows, but my install screen is corrupted. the screen is flickering and i have double mouse icons. i guess i need some new drivers or something. is there something i can do to fix this before i install, or should i attempt to install and then fix it once it's fully installed. [04:49] Decepticon_ yeah, but the folder $USER/.ssh/ must be owned by $USER as well as the files [04:49] arktvrvs: any other ideas man [04:49] dukenukem, over windows? using wubi? [04:49] zsquareplusc: drwxrwxrwx 2 bizinichi friends 4096 2008-12-07 05:30 .ssh/ [04:50] zsquareplusc: i am bizinichi on B [04:50] dukenukem, you may want to try the alternative isntaller cd. It uses text mode installer. so no worries about improper video guessing [04:50] no actually just a live cd. iinitially i had probelms booting from my cd, but thats okay now. [04:50] i don't think he is using wubi [04:50] bdelin881: its odd that this would happen to every document. there may be a setting in the program you're using to edit? [04:50] or his screen wont flickr [04:50] Decepticon_ chown $USER.$USER .ssh [04:50] ahh dr willis. excellent. i'll check it out. [04:50] or perhaps the document format has some internal read only setting. [04:50] arktvrvs: open office, and i have tried the security tab, everything is a no go === tonswin is now known as tonsofpcs [04:50] so its a compeltely new install version to download or should i be able to do it with this cd? [04:50] Decepticon_: also, chmod 644 ~/.ssh/ [04:50] let me see if anyone is awake in the open office channel [04:51] if changing the file permissions doesnt work that is seriously odd [04:51] dukenukem, a different disk [04:51] hello [04:51] zsquareplusc: jrib: done [04:51] !alternate | dukenukem [04:51] dukenukem: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [04:51] many thanks. [04:51] so jrib: i did what you said. unable to find the folder in winxp [04:51] dukenukem: i think u shud install using text mode first and then fix ur graphics problems [04:51] makes sense, shantanu. [04:51] jon5000: did you get errors? [04:51] cheers guys. [04:51] In terminal, what is the easiest way to list open tcp connections? [04:51] netstat -nat [04:51] is there a quick and dirty way to set up an intranet at my house? [04:52] or -nt if you only want connected sockets not just listening ones [04:52] i need to restart the built-in gnome vnc server on ubuntu 8.10 server edition only using ssh. HOW?!?!? %-) [04:52] zsquareplusc: what do i do [04:53] jrib, no i didnt get errors. my problem is that i cant find the shared folder when trying to access it from another pc running xp [04:53] Imaginativeone_, a local network ? get a router? [04:53] arktvrvs: Is there a switch to cause netstat to resolve the IP's it lists? [04:53] newbnewb: yes, leave out the 'n' [04:53] jon5000: on your ubuntu machine, run 'ifconfig' to get the local ip. Then on xp, try connecting to that ip [04:53] though it will take a bit longer [04:53] Decepticon_ after changing the ownership? try logging in again [04:54] how do i run ipconfig? [04:54] zsquareplusc: already did, no go [04:54] Decepticon_: check auth.log again to see if the error changed [04:54] F UBUNTU! [04:54] its ifconfig in linux, ipconfig in windoze [04:54] Decepticon_ the files inside .ssh are also fixed? [04:54] bdelin881: do you have a support question? [04:54] this is pissin me off :( [04:54] bdelin881: ... [04:54] zsquareplusc: yes [04:55] far from new to linux but quite new to ubuntu: new install of 8.10 - laptop's eth0 seems to come up in dmesg but it's as though dhcp didn't happen - no ipv4 address, routes, gw, dns (dchp wrks fine for other machines on not) [04:55] !language [04:55] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:55] zsquareplusc: now files inside .ssh are either -rw-r--r-- 1 bizinichi bizinichi .... or -rw------- 1 bizinichi bizinichi [04:55] bdelin881 has asked a support question [04:55] jrib: yes i downloaded a .doc file and it has set it to read only mode [04:55] test34: I have the router...do I need to configure it? [04:55] hi [04:55] !hi [04:55] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [04:55] When pulse audio's daemon is starts at boot, I get the following errors: http://pastebin.com/f5aa59ec9 . Pulse audio works fine most of the time, but sometimes it stop working, I'm wondering if it could be related to these errors? [04:55] jrib: i have tried everything i know to get it to edit [04:55] bdelin881: ok, then please keep the discussion related to support here [04:55] jon5000 on xp open a command prompt and type ipconfig [04:55] tcp 0 0 Knoppix:36428 [scrubbed]:9001 ESTABLISHED [04:55] bdelin881: to to file- save a copy [04:55] RequinB4: already tried that [04:55] Where it says "knoppix" where does ubuntu get this value? [04:56] arkt [04:56] RequinB4: ....I shouldn't have to do that either [04:56] jon5000: I didn't tell you to run ipconfig [04:56] arktvrvs: [04:56] No. how do i run it on ubuntu, as jrib recommended [04:56] bdelin881: worst case scenario you can copy it all and paste [04:56] nick [04:56] RequinB4: but yes i tried that and it didn't work [04:56] Imaginativeone_, did you try it [04:56] newbnewb: likely from /etc/hosts [04:56] I'm seeing some hardware problems, is there any way to get a dump of the hardware specs on this box? [04:56] RequinB4: shouldn't have to do that either, and anyways, it is a formatted application [04:56] OH~~! [04:56] jon5000 it's ifconfig in ubuntu [04:56] sorry [04:56] less /etc/hosts [04:56] ok [04:56] bdelin881: if it came as read only it came as read only... i fail to see how that is OOo's fault === penrith is now known as blood [04:57] * arktvrvs nods * .. less > more :D [04:57] RequinB4: lol how did it come read only? it's an application [04:57] hey how u del games [04:57] RequinB4: I am supposed to fill it out online [04:57] arktvrvs: Possible that the DCHP server could be sending ubuntu this value? [04:57] bdelin881: is there a pdf version [04:57] bdelin881 what are you using [04:57] RequinB4: sorry i don't mean online, i mean fill out the document [04:57] here is the file link: http://cadets.tamu.edu/Documents/APPLICATION%20FOR%20LEADERSHIP%20POSITION%20CMS%20VERSION.doc [04:58] newbnewb: it may [04:58] bdelin881: then it is supposed to be read only except in teh parts you fill out... [04:58] i had to set static IP etc manually on livecd...i really need to have dhcp working [04:58] though afaik its usually the other way around [04:58] jrib: i found it to be 192.168.100. now how to access that from the xp machine [04:58] i know why.... ooo deleted the grey boxes, neato [04:59] hey how do u delete games off ya list [04:59] jon5000: unfortunately, I've never used xp for file sharing, so I can't give you specifics [04:59] blood: sudo apt-get remove [04:59] blood, synaptic [04:59] i will pay someone via paypal to help me resolve an nfs mounting issue. please /msg me it's hard to read the channel on this term. [04:59] dah! [04:59] I will pay too! [04:59] zsquareplusc: its still doing the same shit, and theres nthing useful in auth.log that i can see [04:59] perhaps set it static, let in run updates, and try again? [05:00] Decepticon_, please watch the language in here [05:00] bdelin881 open that link then save the file to the desktop then open it using openoffic word app [05:01] someone has to know how to make this retarded thing work [05:01] REWARD: $$ Your mission: make my ubuntu machine's shared folders accesible from a windows xp machine. $$ name your price. [05:01] Decepticon_: why don't you start over from scratch? It's running two commands, so I don't see what can go wrong [05:01] blood, other option if you just want to remove them from the menu is to go to system - preferences - main menu [05:01] jrib: you dont know how many times ive laready done that [05:01] jon5000 use samba [05:01] jon5000: tried samba.org? [05:01] jon5000, i just manually edit the smb.conf after installing the samba service. enable the HOME shares, and give the users samba passwords with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERnAME' for each... and its done... [05:01] shadow420: yes the grey boxes are working now... [05:02] I seem to be havin a hardware problem; macine runs fine for a while, then the screen freezes. Sometimes it reboots successfully, sometimes it freezes on reboot, or even fails to get as far as the boot screen. [05:02] jon5000, takes me all of 3 min. [05:02] One more question for now... How do I release and renew? [05:02] jrib: i get the same result, B can go onto A without prompt, A cannot go onto B without a prompt [05:02] Decepticon_: but you had strange permissions on .ssh which means you're doing more than just running two commands [05:02] I ran memtest overnight and it froze sometime in the night. What next? [05:02] jrib: fine, ill rm .ssh/ [05:02] shadow420: they didn't open correctly last time, I am still dealing with the nasty formatting, doesn't seem to format right [05:02] thanks though [05:02] jon5000, but i perer the 'homes' to be shares.. I normally dont let the users pick specific dirs to be shared [05:02] Decepticon_: on both machines [05:02] I have tried all that. samba has made me crazy and desperate. I will pay [05:02] hello, i am trying to get a local nfs going but the problems is when a user makes a on the server it makes the permissions read and write for them and read only for the group. How can I have it so when someone makes a file on the server it is read and write for the group [05:03] jrib ok will you help me step by step [05:03] jrib: because ive followed every guide on the internet [05:03] jon5000, thenyou have done somthing wrong, or missed a step. I set up my linux box's this way all the time. [05:03] ok, I suddenly have a "wmaster0" wireless lan entry in ifconfig and no wireless connection [05:03] anyone know what I screwed up?? :S [05:04] Dr Willis: yes. i have done something wrong. or missed a step. I BELIEVE it is possible. but I can't seem to do it. [05:04] Anyone got a bluetooth headset working on intrepid? if so what did you need to do ? [05:04] One more question :) How do I release and renew the DHCP lease? [05:04] Decepticon_: ok. run 'ssh-keygen' on the client. Then run 'ssh-copy-id USER@SERVER' on the client [05:04] newbnewb: have you tried clicking the wireless meter at the top of your screen? [05:05] then selecting the network again [05:05] jrib: i am doing default location and empty passphrase [05:05] i believe this negotiates a new lease. [05:05] jon5000: on os x, I just enter my machine's ip into finder. There should be a similar facility on xp [05:05] arktvrvs: I have a wired network, I'm just not sure which program within the terminal does the function... ifdown? [05:06] jrib: how do i use ssh-copy-id with a sshd on a different port [05:06] anyone know what wmaster0 interface is? [05:06] ifconfig eth0 down (and up) [05:06] and how I can get rid of it? [05:06] im not entirely familiar with linux dhcp programs, though in bsd its dhclient. [05:06] Lasivian: a wireless adapter in master mode? [05:06] bdelin881 openoffice had to format it differently because the guy who made it used alot of marcos [05:07] used for creating a base station [05:07] dhclient -r [05:07] thanks [05:07] arktvrvs: previously I had wlano and the wireless worked, now I have wlan0, wmaster0 and no wireless [05:07] to release [05:07] how do i setup a shared printer in ubuntu [05:07] Sort of "off topic" question --- I have Firefox, using Ubuntu 8.10 - Whenever I open Firefox, it opens FULL SCREEN where I can't see the application bar, or the control bar (applications, places, system etc...) -- have to click "F11" two times to get back to regular screen size w/ title bar etc... How can I fix this so that Firefox defaults to opening in regular mode? [05:07] and my google-fu is failing me in how to fix it :S [05:08] zsquareplusc: now what, i cant even use ssh-copy-id from client, because of port difference [05:08] Lasivian, you also still having trouble with wireless? I thought you fixed it [05:08] is there any yahoo programme out there [05:08] warcraft 3 on kubuntu- would i be better off with wine or cedega? [05:08] i want to install wine but error is the lebasound2 [05:08] how can i resolve it [05:08] blood you mean yahoo IM clones?? [05:08] ya [05:09] shadow [05:09] pidgin. [05:09] blood: pidgin? haven't used it but supposed to have all im clients... [05:09] i use pidgin, it gets the job done. [05:09] for some brilliant reason, I can't see my eth0 and wlan0 this morning :-P [05:09] anyone know how to fix my firefox issue? [05:09] arktvrvs and others, thank you for your help [05:09] every time i use it i get packets coming my way [05:10] what is lebasound ????? [05:10] Decepticon_: looks like you can't (it's a shell script). Just create ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server with 600 permissions and copy the contents of the client's ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (or id_dsa if that's what you have) [05:10] blood I had one awhile back I just have to find it [05:10] dinesh_: have you tried google? [05:10] can someone pastebin their /etc/network/interfaces from a laptop please? [05:10] it create problem when i instal wine [05:10] yaa [05:10] blood: what do you mean packets.. i assure you pidgin does not lead to ddos [05:10] dinesh_: its probably libasound [05:10] but no solution is available there [05:11] anything that starts with lib is a library, libasound would be asound [05:11] but what is this [05:11] My guess is a library.. for using sound.. [05:11] needed for something to work. [05:11] how come Ubuntu when running Live CD or installation locks the CD drive so I have to use "eject" to eject the CD, instead of using the eject button? [05:12] packets i mean like people boot u [05:12] sir tell me [05:12] veltsu: it was working up until I started messing with tethering my mobile [05:12] now it's totally gone, trying a blacklist of wmaster0 to see what happens [05:12] if i uninstall libasound then [05:12] blood: maybe you're hanging with the wrong crowd then. or its just a conincidence [05:12] blood: were you just using pidgin for yahoo? [05:12] their is any problem [05:12] dinesh_: if you uninstall libasound then anything that needs it wont work anymore [05:13] i want to update it [05:13] HI, looks like apt is trying to use privoxy to connect to the net, I uninstalled and purged privoxy with no improvement, any ideas? [05:13] na i use gyache [05:13] how can i update it [05:13] Okay I figured it out... Open firefox, hit f11 a few times to get it back to normal... Unmaximize it - then resize it to make it fit the screen (or smaller). Then remaximize it and then close it.... Open it back up and it works fine now.... [05:13] just fyi [05:14] csilk: 'echo $http_proxy' [05:14] bcz i have libasound 1.0.15 [05:14] is there a doc for dealing with a totally broken network config left after the initial install? [05:14] sigh, still there and still no wireless [05:14] dinesh_: why do you want to update libasound? It gets updates automatically. [05:14] jrib: anyway i did that for A and B [05:14] jrib, 127.0.0.1:8118/ which I beleive is privoxys port [05:14] *believe [05:14] jrib: and now like i said, A cannot get onto B without pw prompt... but B can get onto A without a pw prompt [05:14] lol, now my wired ethernet is gone [05:14] just great [05:14] its not updated [05:15] its not updated [05:15] you guys seriously think i did the ssh-keygen and pubkey putting into authorized_keys WRONG 10000 times? [05:15] catch ya all later [05:15] Lasivian, can you down it with ifconfig? Keep in mind I'm just guessing here [05:15] dinesh_: did you run the Update Manager? [05:15] there has to be some other reason for this not working and nobody here knows why [05:15] bcz myupdate manneger is not working properly [05:15] the gimp channel is "dead" right now.. anyone with knowledge about resizing a pasted image to the same size as the layer.. the image is larger than the layer. [05:15] Decepticon_: you are certain that ~/.ssh/authorized_keys is different on both machines? [05:15] it show an erroe [05:15] jrib: yes [05:15] error [05:15] Decepticon_: these are both default ubuntu installs? [05:16] jrib: no [05:16] jrib: A is, B is not [05:16] down it?

[05:17] jrib, my system wide proxy setting are set to use a direct net connection, I also cleared all other fields, why would apt still try to use privoxy?

[05:19] csilk: check /etc/environment or find out where http_proxy is getting set [05:19] or why it's stopping my wireless for working? [05:19] jrib, that's the thing, /etc/environment is fine. I can't see where http_proxy is being set [05:20] csilk: use grep on /etc/ and ~/.* then [05:20] dinesh_, why do you need to update libasound2; what version of ubuntu are you using [05:20] csilk: googling 'http_proxy privoxy' may or may not work too [05:20] the error is "could not download all repository indexes" [05:21] can someone using wi-fi please pastebin their /etc/network/interfaces file?

[06:02] gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list dinesh_ [06:02] All of a sudden Ubuntu isn't recognizing my USB stick. It shows up on under places as "USB Drive" but when I click to open it nothing happens. It was working like 20 minutes ago. [06:04] is anyone familiar with real time kernel and whether something like ubuntu studio will make a noticable difference over regular ubuntu or ubuntu ultimate for games and if so if ubuntu studio is coded for multicore [06:04] i find some list [06:04] now what i do ?? [06:04] #ubuntu-laptop [06:04] the_grouch, ultimate? [06:04] yes ubuntu ultimate edition 2.0 [06:04] the_grouch, i doubt if it will be noticeable. [06:04] available at www.ultimateedition.com [06:04] not for games [06:05] and ultimate is not supported here [06:05] oic [06:05] what about ultimatestudio [06:05] get the real thing [06:05] I dont see much need for UltimateANYTHING [06:05] :) [06:05] accept no substitutes [06:05] what i do ??? [06:05] you see I want to create a machine for entertainement which to me is gaming, and music production like [06:06] i find the source.list [06:06] dinesh_, did you edit and save the file? [06:06] no.......... [06:06] then do so [06:06] apparently the rt kernel that ubuntustudio uses is much faster than regular ubuntu [06:06] the_grouch, for gaming no [06:06] but are ther e any cons [06:06] the_grouch: that depends on what you're using it for [06:06] i only find them using terminal [06:06] the_grouch: for some uses, it'll be much slower [06:06] oic rww [06:07] why [06:07] because it isnt coded for multi core [06:07] dinesh_, did you not follow my command? what are you doing? [06:07] i use that comand [06:07] Anyone know what the problem might be, I'm tryin to do a fresh install of xubuntu. :( [06:07] blarg, that didn;t work [06:07] I was thinking on getting a quad core intel chip [06:07] still no wireless [06:07] and find this source,list [06:07] the_grouch: no. say you have a hammer and a screwdriver. for screwing in screws, the screwdriver will be much quicker. for nails, the hammer. different tools for different jobs [06:07] when ubuntu formats my hard drive can people still use free/commercial programs to recover data? how can i be sure data is really deleted? i hear data is never really deleted just scrambled? [06:08] the_grouch: i have a C2Q Q6600 running stock ubuntu and it's fine [06:08] dinesh_, that is gedit opening it (gui) [06:08] I guess i'll just erase it and reinstall [06:08] but for audio production an rt kernel is better? [06:08] gedit ????? [06:08] worked before.. no idea why it doesn't now [06:08] or only if I am actually recording audio? [06:08] dinesh_, what command did you use [06:09] because I plan on making music but not necessaruly recording with a mic [06:09] rather, using software synths and importing audio [06:09] bazhang, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list dinesh_ [06:09] i installed grub2(sudo update grub2) but didnt choose to chainload it [06:09] how can i install it to mbr?

I've got sound in Amarok but no system sounds or sounds in firefox. I already tried disabling pulseaudio and that whole fix, that didn't work. [06:11] Is there a way to always open a program at a more mean level? (Less nice... get it?) [06:11] jrib: that didnt work [06:11] the_grouch: I'm not sure. If I were you, I'd try doing stuff with normal Ubuntu, then investigate alternatives if that's problematically slow. [06:11] Decepticon_: is this on the ubuntu machine? [06:12] jrib: yes [06:12] dinesh_, finished changing it? [06:12] Decepticon_: do you not have ~/.profile? [06:12] any ideas? [06:12] but how ........? [06:12] Decepticon_: http://www.google.com/search?q=add+directory+to+path+bash seems to turn up plenty of correct results [06:12] jrib: never mind, bin/* was not chmodded 7** [06:13] rww forget about it [06:13] Decepticon_: lol, never mind [06:13] dinesh_, did you open the file?

[06:19] I have a username and password and the server name but still can't connect [06:19] does anyone know why a functioning ath5k wireless interface would suddenly add a wmaster0 interface AND stop working?

The internet has been less than helpful so far.

[06:21] i've searched google for the past week [06:21] and can't seem to find my help [06:21] i KNOW i can't be the only person to have this problem [06:21] this is a server image on gandi.net and it's freaking clean except apache and php [06:21] excuse me sir [06:21] I've found fixes online for the sound problem I'm having, but none of them have worked for me so far. [06:21] u say that put # .... [06:21] dinesh_, yes? [06:22] but where i put # in window [06:22] ok, now it says connection established, waiting for welcome message on FileZilla [06:22] bah im just gonna reinstall ubunt since i hate this install anyway :\ [06:22] What do i do? [06:22] is there any way to see what i've installed recently that might have broken this? [06:22] i've tried purging the original package and re-installing it [06:22] dinesh_, in front of the wine repos (wine.dedicated.etc.) [06:22] i've tried dpkg-reconfigure [06:22] i just don't know what else to do [06:23] ok...screw this, i give up for tonight :p time to go smoke a fatty [06:23] later everyone [06:23] * lasbuntu is so frustrated because she doesn't know where to start [06:23] but where .......in terminal or anywhere??? [06:23] dinesh_, in the window you have open in front of you in gedit [06:23] if a window goes grey does that mean it isnt responding [06:24] Jason_WT1: yeah. Could be because it's broken or because it's doing something very computationally-intensive. [06:24] the page open is 'http.com' [06:24] Jason_WT1, why are you installing stuff on a live cd [06:24] yea [06:24] srry [06:25] i dont want ot put it on my HDD [06:25] i am not find the place ..... where i put # ......... [06:25] it will be erased as soon as you quit [06:25] is there a way to keep it on [06:25] dinesh_, good luck. I cannot help you as you are not paying attention. [06:26] Jason_WT1, you can remaster a livecd or use a persistent usb key [06:26] plzz sir [06:26] dinesh_, no. [06:26] what is remastering a cd [06:26] plzzzzzzzzz [06:26] guys .. eaither no one in #kubuntu is listening or i can't type .. my kubuntu keeps crashing .. would somone like to see my logs ?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [06:29] Jason_WT1, no need [06:29] Jason_WT1, use sudo [06:29] need help putting compiz on xubuntu? [06:30] yea that is what i have been doing, just wondering if there was like a GUI for it [06:30] cept it is sudo su for me [06:30] Jason_WT1, gksudo for gui apps [06:30] no. [06:30] dont use that. [06:31] y not [06:31] no need [06:31] '<' it in include or not ??? [06:31] Jason_WT1: "sudo commandname" for terminal apps, "gksudo commandname" for graphical apps, Alt-F2 then "gksudo commandname" to avoid using a terminal, "sudo -i" to get a root shell prompt [06:32] dinesh_, paste.ubuntu.com [06:32] bash: /bin/ksh: No such file or directory [06:32] * Lasivian sighs [06:32] dinesh_, do NOT paste here [06:32] Jason_WT1: the reasons for the slight differences are complicated and nuanced, and usually don't matter, but sometimes they matter very, very much.

[06:34] LPedro: No, I'm at my breaking point, I can't login as root anyway [06:34] david__, better to ask in compiz channel for that [06:34] #compiz-fusion david__ [06:34] i did a --skip-grant-tables and logged in as root [06:34] is there a way to remaster a dvd by booting up from the live cd or do i need to do it from another OS [06:34] but the only user account that shows up when I do a SELECT User FROM user; is debian-sys-maint [06:35] I mean shouldn't root show up as well? [06:35] bill_t u might have something like mysql-reinstall-grant or install-basic or whatever [06:35] i don't remember [06:35] and if i create a doc, is it saved on the cd or deleted as well [06:35] when you reboot it is gone. [06:35] I am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 but there are no fonts showing in either liveCD or the install. Is there any way to fix this? [06:36] hi,I've installe screenlets, and it ask's me for an autostart configure file. Is it to autostart the widget at startup ? [06:36] bill_t maybe the distro avoids root user and user other name for admin [06:37] hola [06:37] Jason_WT1: you can't take the Live CD out while you're booted into it. I tried a week or so ago and it didn't work for me, anyway. So unless you have more than one CD drive, you won't be able to remaster while booted into the Live CD. [06:37] LPedro, no the only user that shows up is debian-sys-maint [06:37] bill_t and u get full access with that user? [06:38] no I don't it has limited permissions, mainly used for starting and stopping mysqld with init.d scripts [06:38] should I be worried if updating to Ibex prompted an error message regarding evolution? [06:38] can i use windows to remaster? === __kyle__ is now known as kyle_edwards [06:39] Jason_WT1, you mean using virtualbox on windows? === jabrroa is now known as Jabrroa_ [06:41] ok, this will sound a bit odd, but, my floppy drive isn't working with Ubuntu. o-O [06:41] Hey all, im trying to be smart here and get Ubuntu to auto-mount my external HDD using the fstab. ive got the correct formatting in the Fstab, however when i plug the drive in i get a "you do not have permission to mount this drive" error, a sudo mount overcomes this, anyone know how i can get the fstab to sudo mout it? === Jabrroa_ is now known as jabrroa [06:42] baxtor, if you set up a fstab entry. it will NOT automount when plugged in.. thats bypassing the 'automounting system' [06:42] baxtor, with the proper fstab entry. the drive will get mounted at boot time. [06:42] how is intrepid version different from Alpha version? [06:43] default or auto? [06:43] baxtor: I think you need to add user or users or something to the fstab options maybe? check in man mount. [06:43] I installed a cli based setup and now I'm trying to print with it... I setup a printer using localhost:631 and it claims the jobs are being sent and completed but nothing ever comes out of the printer [06:43] baxtor, with a proper fstab entry - users can also mount/umount the device also.. but thats not going to 'auto mount' it. [06:43] mahan: intrepid is the current released version of ubuntu. The Jaunty alpha is a pre-beta, buggy, developer version of Ubuntu that you shouldn't use [06:44] by auto mount i mean, clear the 'still in use flags', so it will auto force mount it when i plug it in [06:44] <[TiZ]> Hi. I'm trying to play KQ, a game in the repositories, and it won't let me enable sound. I go to the option in the config menu, hit the confirm key, and I see "... Please Wait ..." for an instant before... nothing happens. How do I get sound in KQ? [06:44] baxtor, this is a NTFS drive? [06:44] no sorry, i didnt read the pages first, it looks as though you must use ubuntu to edit a live cd [06:45] yeah its a shared portable drive i take to uni [06:45] i have a lexmark x5075, when i plugged it in i got a popup saying it was ready to print...when i tried to print something i got a popup saying it may not be connected...any ideas? [06:45] doesn't ubuntu take care of automount? [06:45] and the uni computer dont give me permissions to right click to 'safly remove' [06:45] baxtor, you may want to get in the habbit of using the 'safely remove' feature of windows when unplugging that thing.. or risk data loss [06:45] ok, does intrepid comes with any additional addons [06:45] could an SD card for it, like a usb drive? [06:45] LPedro: it does on mine, most of the time [06:45] rww?? [06:45] baxtor, heh.. silly Uni eh. [06:46] yes mine too [06:46] so what baxtor wants? [06:46] baxtor: can you hold down left-click instead? that sometimes lets you do it. if you don't safely remove ntfs partitions in windows, linux will throw a hissy fit when you try to mount them [06:46] rww: ok, does intrepid comes with any additional addons [06:46] LPedro, he wants to FORCE mounting of the thing even tho its NTFS and not 'safely removed' so its marked in use.. [06:46] mahan: what do you mean by "additional addons"? [06:46] oh ic [06:46] yea i also had that prob [06:47] more than alpha version [06:47] i could seem to get the listed force cmd to work [06:47] i added /dev/sdc1 /media/Sata%2 ntfs-3g force 0 0 to my fstab, and then it sais i dont have permisions to mount this drive [06:47] maybe go to root [06:47] mahan: jaunty alpha is newer than intrepid, so no. If you're considering installing Ubuntu, just get intrepid, though, because the alpha is very much not for end-users like you. It's for developers. [06:47] baxtor, you mustuse the 'user' or users option.. also [06:48] ok [06:48] i had to go to windows and safety remove [06:48] cheers Dr-willis, ill do some more reading in the man :) [06:48] rww: both are single cds, right?? [06:49] ok, so... is it possible to use xrandr to set a custom refresh rate for a monitor? slightly off the one that's reported by the monitor's ddc? [06:49] mahan: yes [06:49] rww: i have another image file, iam not sure which one is it [06:49] anyone here that knows how to work paralells desktop? [06:49] where is add/remove prog? [06:49] mahan: what's the filename? [06:50] rww: one minute [06:51] Why is FF so slow, its not my internet, IE can open the site much faster [06:51] Jason_WT1, on the livecd? [06:52] yea [06:52] maybe its because it is a lcd [06:52] livecd is not installed, IE is [06:53] is there someplace i can find printer drivers? [06:53] !cups [06:53] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [06:54] ASrock, cups.org to see about its support [06:54] how can I watch this on Ubuntu Firefox? http://news.ninemsn.com.au/livestreaming/sydney/ [06:54] ok using remote desktop what port should i use to connect to my friend in china lets say? [06:55] I'm about to swap out my 32 bit Ubuntu and give 64 bit a try, any warnings apart from problematic Flash? [06:55] or next city to me [06:55] rww: it is 'ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso [06:55] no one that knows how to use paralells desktop? [06:55] shad0w0fsin: no, and flash isn't that problematic; it works fine for me [06:55] Mandrew, for mac? [06:55] mahan: that's the one you want :) [06:55] how about VirtualBox? [06:55] c0mput3r, most vnc servers auto get the proper port - when you tell them the desktop # to use.. vnc starts at some 6xxx numbered port.. I forget the exact one [06:56] yes [06:56] how can I watch a video website if it only offers Windows media player or Silverlight? [06:56] Mandrew, try parallels support [06:56] rww: is it interpid?? [06:56] mahan: yes. 8.10 = intrepid [06:56] didnt find any info [06:56] shad0w0fsin: never tried it. I hear it works too, though. [06:56] Mandrew, well that is payware and they have support no doubt [06:57] spent about 7 hours to solve my problem but i cant get it to work [06:57] i'm trying to get d2gse.exe running in wine according to the guide on appdb but i got these errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/81635/ - i can't telnet in either [06:57] ok thank god, iam thinking of investing some more money on get intrepid..

[06:58] hi everybody! [06:58] eternaljoy, no. you cannot. [06:58] rww: I can watch on IE on XP [06:58] eternaljoy: I could be wrong on that, though =/ [06:58] eternaljoy whats that? [06:59] LPedro: news live streaming [06:59] wich format? [06:59] LPedro: u tell me [06:59] * eternaljoy shrugs [06:59] i just want to watch it [06:59] i think u can add the mplayer plugin or something to Ff in ubuntu [06:59] eternaljoy: okay. note that IE and XP are made by Microsoft and ninemsn is 50% owned by Microsoft [06:59] LPedro: how? [06:59] rww: can we connect fc9 thru Remote Terminal from Xp [06:59] cups didnt have my printer...are there any other sites? [06:59] rww: so what? is there a way to watch it? [06:59] eternaljoy, no. [07:00] if mplayer plays windows media might play that [07:00] eternaljoy: did you not read what I just said? No, it's DRM-encumbered. [07:00] is there a way to halt/pause a dl i am getting using wget [07:00] how, i don't remember i'm on xp right now lol [07:00] cant change file permision as root and anyother user... how can i solve this? [07:00] mahan: use VNC [07:00] !vnc | mahan [07:00] mahan: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [07:00] rww: so how do I watch it on Ubuntu firefox..i know theres a way [07:00] mahan: and if that "fc9" meant Fedora 9, go ask in #fedora, they'll know better than us how to do it [07:00] eternaljoy: THERE ISN'T [07:01] ok, i have worked with Vnc before [07:01] eternaljoy, you cannot. please stop asking. [07:01] mahan: NX is really a great way to go [07:01] rww: are u 100% sure? [07:01] mahan: i use NX for everything [07:01] im chatting over NX to another PC right now :-) [07:01] thanks, bazhang [07:01] i would like to pause it so another one can be faster [07:01] ok [07:01] does anyone know if its possible to install a 32 bit guest OS on VirtualBox on a 64-bit host OS? [07:01] mahan: NX is very fast, and you can even watch streaming videos with it [07:02] eg firefox + youtube in remote system and watch over NX [07:02] and good quality with low bandwith use [07:02] shad0w0fsin: looks like it: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-470497.html [07:02] can someone help me out? cant change files permision as root, if ii change them, they go back like they were [07:02] mahan: im using the NX free client, not the OSS version [07:02] lucax: which files, specifically?

[07:09] lucax: and that's /after/ you did "sudo chmod ugo+r Taken.DVDRip.XviD-ALLiANCE.Spanish.srt"? [07:09] anyone know how the mechanics of generating modelines? [07:09] rww, yes [07:09] Jason_WT1, which is on the front, next to the mic plug [07:10] lucax: and you're sure that the file is currently located on a partition that supports permissions? something formatted as ext2, ext3, rieser, or w/e? [07:10] i sometimes get this with headphones, I usually have to restart the comp or remove the audio driver and reinstall or, if availe update it [07:11] What do I type in to boot my ubuntu install on my hardrive with my ubuntu CD? I didn't install Grub. [07:11] btw there is some way to change jack functionality? (as in line in, line out)? my card at windows i can choose [07:11] i am not able to set any image as wallpaper ...any help ? [07:11] Jason_WT1, well, as far as I know, i have the latest drivers.. [07:12] Dabbu: what happens when you try? [07:12] rww: only the background color changer according to the wallpaper color [07:12] so do i but somethimes i just need to fallback to an older one then update to the current on, just so it will reset the driver [07:13] when i'm trying to set up the keyboard shotcuts in gnome i am unable to create a shortcut that consists of the windows key + alt + left.. is this because the windows key/super is not a normal modifier key? [07:13] is ubuntu based off of debien? [07:13] Jason_WT1: yes [07:14] i was watching a movie and the eject button got bumped while it was playing. now the colors are messed up in any movie i play, so that stuff is blue when it should be orange, etc. any idea how to fix this? i tried restarted and no dice [07:14] yea, i see that alot in the sys [07:15] will there be problems if i use gparted to (un)part the media that it is running off of? [07:15] rww: any idea? [07:15] Jason_WT1: yeah. It won't let you do it :P [07:16] Dabbu: nope, I'm looking around, but not seeing anything :( [07:16] rww: ok [07:17] with using pidgin is there a way to scroll up through the text i typed, like in some of the other irc clients [07:17] it is usually jut the up arrow [07:17] how I install moonlight on Ubuntu? [07:18] moonlight is like silverlight, allowing me to watch websites that have silverlight [07:18] rww: moonlight is the answer [07:19] if i get Cannot write to `wonderland-0-4-0-linux-i686.zip' (No space left on device). when i try to wget something, does that mean that the live cd is full? [07:19] Jason_WT1, or the ram drive its using... [07:19] Jason_WT1, why using the live cd? may as well go for a full install/dual boot [07:19] !moonlight [07:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about moonlight [07:19] Jason_WT1, you cant write to a cd what way. :) [07:20] eternaljoy: moonlight doesn't implement silverlight's DRM scheme, so no, it isn't, hence my repeated insistence that you can't see that video in Ubuntu. [07:20] it is a dvd [07:20] Jason_WT1, does not matter. [07:20] its live. [07:20] Jason_WT1: cd/dvd are closed, you can't write to them [07:20] anyone here familiar with naim? [07:20] rww: it does according to the sources [07:20] Jason_WT1: also, are you wanting the wonderland gtk theme? [07:21] basically I need to know how to have naim actually beep the console instead of flashing the screen [07:21] wonderland is a program [07:21] rww: somepeople on the ubuntu forums have said it works on that website [07:21] it is like SL [07:21] ok [07:21] eternaljoy, then you should follow that they say.

[07:22] bazhang: rww was wrong, so why was I kicked? [07:23] eternaljoy, stay on topic. [07:23] <_2> veltsu normally blah>blah>blah means look in your menu for the first blah and follow the yellow brick road [07:23] bazhang: ok [07:23] eternaljoy: you weren't kicked for asking. you were kicked for refusing to listen to anything you were told. And please don't say I'm "wrong" until you get it working. If you do, let me know and I'll be happy to eat plenty of humble pie. [07:23] hello ! [07:23] well it got to 98% and then i got that error, so i think it is/was writing to it [07:23] i forgot a command to open documents. can someone help me out?

GParted says it's there, but I can't access it. I created a new partition on it, but that did nothing. It shows up as "USB Drive" in the places menu, but does nothing when I click it. What can I do? :( [07:50] <_2> dnyy did you create a filesystem on it ? [07:51] <_2> dnyy you don't mount partitions, you mount filesystems [07:51] dnyy, and what filesystem is this? [07:51] I can't get bluetooth working in ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell XPS M1330, any suggestions? [07:51] _2: I created an ext2 partition on it. ;x [07:51] <_2> it's not uncommon for a filesystem to be found in a partition but you don't actually mount the partition [07:51] <_2> dnyy so make a filesystem in that ext2 partition [07:52] _2 ah, well how can I get into it then? It was working previously, then I installed the xubuntu-desktop package and it no longer works. [07:52] _2: How do I do that? :X [07:52] dnyy, try mounting it from the command line perhaps? - you DID format the filesystem after making it with gparted? [07:52] <_2> Dr_willis can walk you through it, dnyy [07:52] Dr_willis: Well, it said it formatted it as it was creating the partition. [07:53] <_2> i'm out. gooday to one and all. [07:53] g'night :) [07:53] What do you buntufags use to look up tag info/tag audio tracks? [07:53] Heh - its getting late here also.. [07:53] MariusAZ: MusicBrainz Picard.

[07:53] ahh [07:53] he he [07:53] Cool, thanks [07:54] ok boys and girls, here goes my last try on getting ubuntu to work: I'm attempting an install of the latest madwifi drivers for my network card [07:54] I'm so confused as to why it just stopped working for no reason. ;( [07:54] i've just installed ubuntu and it's my first time there, how do i connect it to my wireless network [07:55] * Dr_willis wonders if hes the only person in the world that uses wires now. [07:55] Can i rmeove all the stuff related to other lnguages that i do not need ? [07:55] hello all. I need some advice. after 10 minutes my screen goes blank (screensaver) and won't come back out of it. I've disabled any and all sleep modes I could find in icewm, gnome, and kde. I've even gone as far as "sudo chmod -R -x /etc/acpi/*" and it's still occurring [07:55] Is i need on the system is English [07:56] Dr_willis: you're not. I only use ethernet. [07:56] rww, i will confess.. that finally under 8.10 - wireless works. :P [07:57] Dr_willis: it probably would for me, too, but my wireless is turned off in my BIOS settings. I don't like wireless networks... they feel insecure and wrong :/ [07:57] * Dr_willis hands Rww a tinfoil hat. [07:58] i've just installed ubuntu and it's my first time there, how do i connect it to my wireless network [07:58] ^_^ [07:58] cheat, there is some icon on the tray. you will have to make sure the wireless card is supported though [07:58] cheat, run that restricted-drivers tool and seeif it wants to isnall any extra drivers for your wireless card. for starters.. (and yes that meand you must be 'wired' to get the initial drivers if needed. [08:00] for my wioreless laptop. once i got the drivers installed.. I just click on the little network-manager icon in the panel. and connect. :) [08:01] ok thanks [08:02] does anyone know a weather site with rss feed?

[08:05] ok, imagine I've never asked help. I want to get my Atheros wireless card working on my laptop with Ubuntu 8.10. [08:06] dnyy, what are you trying to do exactly? [08:06] any people in japan here? [08:06] just now I tried it with the madwifi drivers, no change. I still can't see any networks. Do anyone have any good ideas on how to get it functioning (I've been at this for a better part of a week now) [08:06] wahnnfrieden: this channel is for Ubuntu technical support, not general topics. Maybe try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [08:07] Dr_willis: Store files to move between linux and windows, and to (maybe) use with Ubuntu's usb startup disk creator. [08:08] bayu [08:08] bayu [08:08] planetz [08:08] I can see my wireless with lspci but no wireless device is active or at least doesn't show up with ifconfig [08:09] hmm this is for ubuntu help? cool, how do i get my keyboard to not allow accented letter input? it is annoying to hit ´ just for a ´ when i dont type letters with a ´ for example áéíóú [08:09] dnyy, that creator tool will format it to be fat16 i recall.. You dont need to be manually foramting it [08:09] Dr_willis: Ah, well it won't let me put any files on it or anything from inside ubuntu. :/ [08:09] It shows up in the places menu, but that's it. I can't open it or anything. [08:09] ` ' Hmm.. i dont even see a ´ ´ key [08:10] How do you remove ALL every gnome-panel and prevent it from starting up again (automatically at login) in Intrepid Ibex 8.10 [08:10] sloopy: System > preferences > Keyboard > Layouts and fix the settings there. (Mine are: Keyboard Model: unknown; Layout: USA) [08:10] Dr_willis: lol, what? ;o [08:10] i got the following problem: when i start the pc, and ubuntu begins to load, it takes a routine drive check. but during that check my monitor will turn black and say that it cant display the information anymore [08:11] the pc will only run if i cancel the drive check [08:11] lets say I wanted to delete all .log files at one time . How would I get this done [08:11] using ifconfig I have ath0 enabled now but I still can't find any networks. I also have a wmaster0 -00 device. I have no idea why it's there. It must be something to do with the wireless card though because when i enable ath0 it shows up also [08:12] gerhard: does it show the drive check failing? [08:12] rww, hmmm there were two listed on the layout section i removed one and it works :') [08:12] rww, ty [08:12] nope, the drive check runs at maximum to 22% and then the screen turns black [08:12] but it shows no error [08:12] Grr, well it shows up in the startup disk creator. Why in the world will it not work in nautilus. [08:13] sloopy: You're welcome! Glad I could help :) [08:13] gerhard: have you tried the recovery mode? or booting to a LiveCD and running fsck? [08:13] I guess I just have to face the facts: I can't get it to work on Ubuntu and i should go back to Windows..oh well, at least I tried [08:13] dnyy, if you formated it to be ext2/3 then your user has no permissions to write to it.. it has to be chowned - to be owned by the user first [08:13] no i didnt know what to recover.. if i cancel the drive check, my pc runs normally [08:13] dnyy, statrtup creator tool is most likley running as root. [08:14] Dr_willis: aaah, gotcha. thanks for the help. :) [08:14] Hi, Is there anyone Familiar with "ebox" i m getting some complications with installating some modules. Thankx. uSing ubuntu intrepid. [08:15] gerhard: running recovery mode doesnt mean you have to recovery something, just gives you the chance to drop to a shell so you can run fsck on your drives [08:15] d [08:15] ah that might be a good idea [08:15] so how does the fsck tool work? [08:16] gerhard: it is easiest (at least for most) to run it from a livecd [08:16] gerhard: first do a quick "sudo fdisk -ls" [08:17] ok [08:17] gerhard: it will show you all the drives you have, write them down or just do it again once your in the livecd.. it is important you either do it from a shell before it boots or from a livecd, because running fsck on a drive that is mounted is a very bad idea [08:17] shows a great list then [08:17] i see [08:17] the install-icon when running the bootloader, does it have gparted? can it format the harddrive for me? i have a working bootloader so I just want to completely wipe out Vista and have a full 120GB ubuntu install [08:17] and is there a command to check all the drives? [08:18] gerhard: then just pick them out one at a time.. "fsck /dev/sda1" /dev/sda2, /dev/sda3, etc.. dont worry about SWAP drive though, you dont need it for that because theres no filesystem [08:18] rafting: there's a step during setup where you can choose to remove all existing partitions and put Ubuntu in their place, yes. [08:18] good, so i have to list them up? [08:19] WIGGMPk, gerhard: easier to `sudo touch /forcefsck` and then reboot [08:19] gerhard: if you can remember them, then no [08:19] Flannel: thanks for that.. I didnt know about that [08:19] ummm [08:19] Flannel: I think that'll cause his original problem to flare up again, though: his monitor turns off during bootup fscks [08:19] ok i type that [08:20] rww: That is odd. And would likely trigger it, yes. [08:20] well i am going to reboot [08:20] eh..? [08:20] see you soon ;-) [08:20] =) [08:22] Flannel: how do you turn off gnome-panel in 8.10? [08:22] does anyone know a weather site with rss feed? [08:22] buongiorno a tutti [08:22] !it | toti [08:22] toti: 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) [08:22] toti, giorno [08:22] is there a way to tell what db level your headphones are playing at? [08:23] zeno___, alsamixer shows in db [08:24] jim_p: thanks [08:25] hi [08:25] do u know how to make Pulseaudio work properly through Alsa? [08:25] impossible to install sun-java6-plugin [08:26] jim_p: it says 28, thats precent [08:26] "no version of sun-java6-plugin packet is available, but it exists in database [08:26] " [08:26] apparently the wireless breaking part of ht e new kernels has yet to be fixed? [08:26] why does ubuntu still choose to release kenels that break people's hardware function? [08:26] thanks a million. [08:27] Hello. [08:27] I don't have KDE installed, what packages do I need to be able to play videa from KPhotoAlbum? any ideas? [08:27] how does one get out of the mess that i'm in: ubuntu broke my wireless. [08:28] luckily i have a trusty mac to allow me to use the internet! [08:28] rom1v, have u tried installing through synaptic? [08:28] ottoshmidt: disable pulseaudio, it's not correctly configured in 8.10 afaik [08:28] mb_: load the other kernel from the grub menu [08:28] !doesnt work | mb_ [08:28] mb_: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [08:28] juanez, but it works well, unless login sounds are on [08:28] this packet doesn't appear in synaptic [08:28] while one month ago, it worked [08:29] rom1v, it does in mine [08:29] WIGGMPk: the light for the modem is on, but i can not join the local network as ubuntu apparently does not see my wireless card [08:29] rom1v: Please pastebin the output to: sudo apt-get update [08:30] rom1v: make sure you got the proper repositories added in /etc/apt/sources.list [08:30] also, i can configure the network. it just has no deire to join it now with the update. [08:30] it's in multiverse (which is enabled) [08:30] but wait a minute, I try to switch to "main server" instead of french servers [08:30] mb_: what kernel? what wireless card? what previous kernel did it work in? x86 or amd64? [08:31] can anyone help me to save a file as MP# in audacity? [08:31] can anyone help me to save a file as MP3 in audacity? [08:32] Dabbu, i belive you 'export' them to be a mp3. not really save it as a mp3 [08:32] hi, is there a log that we can check out after an rsync to see what's it's done ? [08:32] Dr_wills: u r right [08:32] what is the command to mount everything in fstab? [08:33] seagullman: sudo mount -a [08:34] Flannel, thanks mate [08:34] Hi all where can i found executables (i'm looking for xchat to link it into firefox) it's in the bin folder, isn't it ? [08:34] Flannel, here is the result of sudo apt-get update : [08:34] jordan_: issue "whereis programname". If I remember correctly, xchat is /usr/bin/xchat. [08:34] arf, I can't pastebin : Sorry, your post tripped our spam filter - let us know if you think this could be improved [08:34] jordan_: type 'which firefox' and it'll tell you the path to firefox [08:35] !paste | rom1v [08:35] rom1v: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:35] Yes, I know that [08:35] rww okay thanks :p [08:35] but pastebin doesn't accept my text === dukenukem is now known as dukenukem2 [08:35] it considers it as a spam [08:35] Flannel thanks [08:35] rom1v: Yes, use the ubuntu pastebin [08:36] is there any difference to compile a project and make a package for it on ubuntu 8.4 or 8.10 while using the same compiler ? [08:36] Hi, Is there anyone Familiar with "ebox" i m getting some complications with installating some modules. Thankx. uSing ubuntu intrepid. [08:36] hello? === kyle__ is now known as kyle_edwards [08:36] same problem on http://ubuntu.pastebin.com [08:36] !hi | kyle_edwards [08:36] kyle_edwards: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:36] well, the monitor switched off again, but this time i waited and finally a picture appeared again [08:36] Dr_willis: is there any solution,idon't fing liblame0 in synaptic....how can i install this ? [08:36] rom1v: use paste.ubuntu.com [08:36] hi, i have just installed ubuntu and i am trying to connect my wireless card. i have downloaded the correct driver for my card type, it was a tarball which i extracted and placed on my desktop. now i'm kind of wondering how to install it.. [08:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/81815/ [08:37] thank you [08:37] !find liblame [08:37] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=liblame&mode=&suite=intrepid&arch=any [08:37] Dabbu, may be at medibuntu site. or in some other repo [08:37] dukenukem2, have you downloaded the source code? [08:37] rom1v: You really should disable -proposed. That could very well be the problem [08:38] i think so, yes. i checked the INSTALL file and it said to "make install" but i'm having trouble with that. [08:38] i couldn't see a binary to download, incidently. [08:38] dukenukem2: make sure you have the package build-essential installed if you're compiling stuff. that'll deal with the basics. [08:38] from my experience you can go into the synaptic package manage under system > administration to find drivers that will self install them [08:39] hi i have a problem with permissions [08:39] dukenukem2: I'm assuming that by "trouble" you mean you got errors [08:39] marek_: we cant help with mom and dad. sorry [08:39] Flannel, I disabled it, no changes :( [08:39] =D [08:39] yeah what that will do is make it so you can acctually compile the package [08:39] marek_: man chmod [08:39] rom1v: Did you do sudo apt-get update after changing? [08:39] what should i do, to enable rw access for all users, for mounted vfat partition? [08:40] xorlim well i tried, but there is a problem [08:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/81817/ [08:40] marek_: chmod a+rw /path [08:40] i tried sudo chmod 777 /media/sec [08:40] marek_: or chmod -R a+rw /path [08:40] i tried this, but it doesnt change permissions [08:40] -R = recursive [08:40] ls -al still give the same [08:40] and i tried -R as ewell [08:40] WIGGMPk: it worked with 2.27 but not with 2.29 [08:40] do you have permission to chmod the files then? [08:41] i try with sudo [08:41] marek_, juanez: chmod won't work for changing permissions on a vfat partition. You need to edit /etc/fstab and set permissions there. [08:41] see rww [08:41] rww - have this line in fstab [08:41] rom1v: alright, please pastebin: apt-cache policy sun-java6-plugin && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [08:41] just realized it was FAT :S [08:41] '/dev/sda2 '/media/drugi vfat defaults 0 0 [08:41] mb_: i didnt realize 2.29 was a stable release??? [08:41] his ther a log file to see what rsync has done ? [08:41] rw will do? [08:42] What other clippboard history program is there other than glipper? [08:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/81819/ [08:43] marek_: nope. change defaults to "user,auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000" [08:43] marek_: ( according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions#%3Coption%3E%20example anyway; i forget whether that's right) [08:43] rom1v: Odd. Alright, let me manually check the french mirror. [08:43] WIGGMPk: then why would ubuntu release it in to the wild? [08:44] rww that helped thanks very much [08:44] marek_: user makes it mountable by anyone, auto makes it automount at bootup, fmask and dmask are masks for files and directories respectively [08:44] for massconsumption [08:44] marek_: you're welcome :) [08:44] mb_: im running intrepid, and my current kernel version is 2.6.27-9.. I dont think 2.6.29 is stable... keyword being stable.. check to see if you have the "proposed" updates enabled [08:44] should I keep my original files in my mercurial server? it doesn't look like they are needed anymore, since they aren't being updated... [08:44] WIGGMPk: mine is 2.6.27-10-generic [08:44] WIGGMPk: i would, but now that i can't even get to the archive server, it won't tell me any thing [...] [08:44] mb_, you're using proposed? [08:45] it tells me i have a connection, but will not connect [08:45] does anyone know a weather site with rss feed? [08:45] eth1 light is on, ifconfig sees it [08:45] Flannel, I use 64bits [08:45] but will not configure [08:45] that could be the problem? [08:45] rom1v: It shouldn't be, but I'll check [08:46] jim_p: umm, weather.com? [08:46] ifup eth1 yields: Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1 [08:46] yet, it's in ifconfig === adam is now known as Guest86762 [08:46] mb_: System > Administration > Software Sources > clicke the "Updates" tab and check to see if "Pre-released" or "Unsupported" are checked.. cause if they are, then I really cant help you trouble shoot your wireless problem because they are plainly not stable kernel's [08:46] jim_p: according to http://www.weather.com/weather/rss/subscription/ , anyway. === Guest86762 is now known as alkamid [08:47] hello, does anyone know of a reliable source for the radar on the weather tab for queensland,australia?? [08:47] WIGGMPk: i've booted back to .26 [08:47] but it still doesn't work [08:47] light is on, but no one is home [08:47] mb_: and it worked prior to upgrading? [08:48] rom1v: Oh... interesting. It does seem that -plugin is missing from amd64... let me check other mirrors [08:48] xorlim: do you have pre-released enabled?? cause i only have -9 [08:48] WIGGMPk: I think I do. [08:48] rww, it does not do anything whan i put my location there! [08:48] Flannel: I couldn't find it either. Utah Univ., AMD64 [08:48] rom1v: Looks like -plugin doesn't exist on AMD64, which... is odd, to say the least. [08:49] xorlim: =) was wondering.. thought i was getting short changed [08:49] mb_: what wireless adapter do you have? the chipset? [08:49] WIGGMPk: a guy on the net told me to enable everything in the update GUI and I also ran update-manager -d [08:49] hello [08:49] jim_p: put your info there, press Update, then press XML [08:49] rww, wait [08:49] mb_: Please pastebin the output to this command: lsb_release -a, thanks [08:49] xorlim: wearing your balls out there on your sleeve eh.. lol [08:49] WIGGMPk: heh [08:49] what should I do to change "alkamid.endoftheinternet.org" to "alkamid" in my Ubuntu? [08:50] I edited my /etc/hosts [08:50] xorlim: maybe for hardy, but I never enabled them for non LTS versions [08:50] hello, does anyone know a way of getting the radar working for the weather applet? [08:50] and wrote a line "alkamid.endoftheinternet.org alkamid" [08:50] but it doesn't work [08:50] !hostname | alkamid [08:50] alkamid: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [08:51] Flannel: no LSB modules available, 8.1, codename: Intrepid [08:51] can anyone help me with gimp images [08:51] anyone know how I can install kernel sources? [08:52] hello [08:52] darknight, whats your problem? [08:52] alkamid: for example, my machine name is "xyzzy", my /etc/hostname is "xyzzy", and my /etc/hosts contains a line "127.0.0.1 xyzzy" [08:52] rww, and then what? should I restart some services? [08:52] rww, all i get is a silly messsage "Current weather conditions in ..." on my conky [08:52] I added a line "alkamid.endoftheinternet.org alkamid" in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname [08:52] alkamid: probably want to reboot. several programs get unhappy when you change the hostname from under them [08:53] alkamid: that's not what's supposed to be in there [08:53] kyle_edwards; i wanted 2 create a 3D prism and i wanted some help upon it [08:53] alkamid: if you wanted your hostname to be "alkamid", /etc/hostname would contain only "alkamid", and /etc/hosts would contain a line "127.0.0.1 alkamid" [08:53] okay, I see [08:53] darkknight; sorry cant help you with that :D [08:54] jim_p: then find another service that outputs only temperature. Finding such a service is beyond the scope of #ubuntu :/ [08:54] mb_: And what kernel versions are you using currently? and what do you have available? (you can check in /boot) [08:54] why can't i install yahoo messenger ? [08:54] rww, true. thanks for your help. [08:54] because its a windows program? [08:54] jim_p: or maybe look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=422305 [08:54] y0315219, beause its a windows app [08:54] try using the program pidgin [08:54] i had to force the quit of firefox, but now if i try to open it again a message is shown saying that firefox is already running, but not responding and that to open a new window, i must first close that process first. How do I it without restart the system? [08:55] rww: you mean /etc/hosts should contain a line "alkamid.endoftheinternet.org alkamid" [08:55] is that right? [08:55] alkamid: no, i mean what i said [08:55] rww, i dont like that. too much scripting [08:55] but some computer on the Web to be named "alkamid" in my Ubuntu [08:55] Ab3L: System, admin, system monitor, kill process [08:55] it's my home server with ssh [08:56] alkamid: /etc/hosts doesn't map from one hostname to another. it only maps hostnames to IP addresses [08:56] i cannot write to my data partition, it is ext3 and fstab has the following options: auto,users,rw,relatime..... am i missing something? thanks [08:56] seagullman, the partition or at least a directory on it.. has to be owned by the user you want to write to it with... [08:56] rww: so how do I map from one hostname to another? [08:57] I don't want to write "alkamid.blabalbla" every time I ssh [08:57] Dr_willis, i see.. is that not taken care of by "users"? [08:57] alkamid, make an alias. [08:57] alkamid: oh. You can't do that server-side. You'd probably want to edit your SSH config file on the client side and add an alias. [08:57] seagullman, not for ext2/3 - it has 'real' permission/ownsership features.. [08:57] alkamid: see man ssh_config [08:58] anyone know a good link that explains the uses of and relationships between the local and FQDN hostnames on a Ubuntu server that serves mail and or web? Seems like an unnecessarily confusing topic. Thanks! [08:58] seagullman, for vfat/ntfs - it might. [08:58] rww: thanks [08:58] Dr_willis, ah.. i thought it was easier for my old fat partition [08:58] what is with the ubuntu forums? [08:58] Dr_willis, so is the problem not within fstab then? [08:58] Ediferious: thank you [08:58] it [08:58] is like you cant login [08:59] Ab3L: No Problem :) [08:59] i log in and it doesn't acknowledge that i;m logged in [08:59] AlNahar: ask in #ubuntuforums, not here :) [08:59] Haha [08:59] XD [08:59] seagullman, chown the mountpoint after the fs is mounted to be owned by the user you want to use it.. or chown a specific dir in the filesystem for the user to use [08:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6323816 [09:00] Dr_willis, cool, thanks [09:00] binarymutant: ask in #mercurial [09:00] i just downloaded ubuntu [09:00] and burnt it to a DVD [09:00] when i choose install [09:00] it brings me to a text line thing [09:00] like SSH [09:00] Snow|man: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:00] !enter | Snow|man [09:00] Snow|man: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:01] lmfao [09:01] ok [09:01] bot was quicker than me >.> [09:01] yah [09:01] Whats the problem? [09:01] Snow: sounds liek you might have gotten the alt installer.....wrong download link [09:01] hi all [09:01] omg [09:01] the file name is [09:01] ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso [09:01] Sounds right [09:01] mattbmc, Snow|man: alt installer wouldn't drop to a command-line, though... and that's not the filename for the alt CD [09:01] Can anybody help me to setup wireless networking from command line for ubuntu hardy 8.04 ...? [09:02] What exactly do you see? [09:02] I tried a lot of docs online ...but nothing works fine... [09:02] it says [09:02] installing [09:02] Snow: could just be you're not good enough [09:02] ;) [09:02] Heh [09:02] ¬_¬ [09:02] It just says installing? [09:02] thats trippy... [09:02] then after that line thing goes threw a while [09:02] it says type help for a list of commands [09:02] ifconfig wlan0 [09:02] maybe [09:02] i type help [09:02] and its just like when i connect to my linux server with SSH [09:03] Snow|man: just type your whole message on one line. You don't need to split it up into several, and when you do, it makes the channel harder to read. [09:03] wow, this is the only channel that complains.. [09:03] not many people talking either [09:04] Snow|man: it's one of those rules that makes more sense during the day when there's 20 people talking at once, but which is enforced all the time :) [09:04] Yeah, i know but its from using all these IMs :P i'm not an IRCer lol [09:04] Speaking of installations, I was installing ubuntu on a new PC tonight, and it got to 94%, sat there for an hour (Seemed like), and then it went "black" still lit screen, but black, you know? Should I worry? Its been years since I did a clean install. [09:04] Snow|man: anyway. Do you get any sort of graphics at any point? An Ubuntu logo with an orange scrollbar? Any sort of desktop? [09:04] Is it because I burned ubuntu on a DVD? [09:05] Yeah [09:05] Who knows, I've never done DVD. [09:05] Ubuntu logo with an orange scrollbar [09:05] Did you chose install from that? [09:05] That was after I chose install [09:05] And then what did you do? [09:06] Dr_willis: ya still up? [09:06] Snow|man: did it say anything about busybox, by any chance? [09:07] yeah, it did! [09:07] i find 8.10 to be a little buggier than 8.04 imho [09:07] hello All, tell me please, how do i set max CPU usage for any program starting from command line ? For example, to run it in background, i should type "&" at end of line. Maybe it's similar way to limit CPU usage? [09:07] Hello all [09:07] Snow|man: okay. Follow the instructions here to check that the DVD burned okay: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck?action=show&redirect=CDIntegrityCheck [09:07] Howdy, Mach2 [09:07] dfrank, read: man nice [09:08] I just install ubuntu 64bit :) [09:08] installed hehe [09:08] Brasero won't burn the images it created itself by selecting 'Copy Disc' ( raw.toc ) .. Any hints ? [09:08] Oh, your award will be in the mail by 12:00pm tomorrow ;) [09:08] 2 problems: 1. I cant change the screen resolution because the options are only 800/600 and 640*480. i want 1280*800, how? 2. when I start the install i do the first steps but the partitioner never starts. [09:09] Hallo ! [09:09] Ediferious: ok great.. I'll stay up all night waiting on it :) [09:09] rafting, check for linux drivers from your vendor site, eg. www.nvidia.com [09:09] I installed kopete with KDE4 in Ubuntu 8.10. I discovered, that I can't use IRC with it ? [09:09] Awesome :D, would you like to add a personal engraving to that Mach, it'll be 5.00 extra [09:09] do I have to install any further packages ? [09:10] Ediferious: $5? I thought it was only 4.99? That extra cent is a bit too steep for me [09:10] mach2: welcome to 64-bit land :) === sean is now known as Guest96764 [09:10] Hmmm, maybe we can haggle this in private? ;) [09:10] Thanks rww :) [09:11] I'm using my ubuntu computer as a router. How can I require that users connecting to the internet through it be required to agree to a terms of service before they can browse anywhere else? Either once per session, once per DHCP lease, not picky. But so that no matter what URL they try it will go to the ToS page until they agree, then behave normally? Like many libraries do. [09:11] Ediferious: Mommy said I can't talk to strangers in private unless shes around [09:11] Snow|man: if the integrity check says your media is fine, try booting in safe graphics mode (second option on the boot menu instead of the first) [09:12] Oh, well then, just let mommy know the extra cent pays for the 'complimentary' ribbon [09:12] joaopinto: thank u) [09:12] Ediferious: Please stay on topic, thanks [09:12] Will do. [09:13] Ediferious: So you run 64bit ubuntu? [09:13] Indeed, Mach4, you? [09:13] Err2 [09:13] Ediferious: lol This is my 7th minute [09:14] Mach2:Oh yeah, I forgot! Enjoying it? [09:14] Ediferious: Yeah I want to install Flash. What's the best way? [09:15] Mach2: Flash the macromedia/adobe program, or the firefox extension? [09:15] Ediferious: I guess the Firefox Ext. I want to see youtube [09:15] Has anyone got any good experiences with smb-client on 8.10? it just wont connect to smb shares on a server03 machine? [09:16] Mach2: the easiest way to do that would either be through synaptic package manager, or through firefox itself. [09:16] WIGGMPk: alright, i'm hardwired back online as it's the only thing that works. I've gone and downloaded the drivers from lenovo for my wifi card and none of the .inf files seem to want to work in the NDIS Wrapper installer. [09:16] Ediferious: ok great. Let me try it real quick [09:16] mach2: close Firefox completely then do sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [09:16] * Ediferious scratches her head [09:17] mach2: I had terrible trouble trying to get flash to work until I did it through apt-get/synaptic while Fx was closed [09:17] Question for the bot: mplayer, DVD, movies, howto [09:17] mb_: have you tried just running System > Administration > Hardware Drivers in ubuntu??? [09:17] WIGGMPk: keep inmind the system still sees the card yet I can not configure it to connect, it already has the previous configuration saved and it loads, but again: does not connect. [09:17] rww ok great i'll give it a try [09:17] WIGGMPk: numerous times, yes. [09:17] still nothing. [09:17] sauvin: you probably want /msg ubottu dvd, /msg ubottu mplayer, etc. [09:17] rww, the only reason I don't like that idea is because thats like giving him the fish, not teaching him to get it ;) [09:18] rww: YES! [09:18] good morning all. I've got a REALLY slow connection speed with my Ubuntu machine. My connection itself is great, as I've also got a mac which is running fine. However, my Linux machine is running really slow. WHat kind of things do I need to check? [09:18] mb_: wireless security? what type? [09:18] 802.11x-ish i guess [09:18] Ediferious: usually I'd be all for tutorials on fishing poles, but flash is a PITA to get working sometimes. When he asks about a less messed-up package the instructions will be better :) [09:19] Haha, okay rww, I didn't have any issue with flash, but I guess I'm not 100% of the population, eh? [09:19] mikebeecham: check that your NIC is running in full-duplex 100 instead of 10 [09:19] WIGGMPk: errr: WEP 128bit shared key [09:19] WIGGMPk: that has worked flawlessly up until now. [09:19] Ediferious: yeah... I have problems sometimes but not usually. Some people just can't get it to work at all. It works just fine for others. Flash is weird :/ [09:20] delken: where do I check that? I'm in Network connections but cant see it [09:20] mb_: have you tried disabling the security to see if you can connect? [09:20] why woud i wnat to do that? [09:20] mb_: does it act like its trying to get an IP and fail? [09:20] mb_: to test it [09:20] yeah, pretty much [09:20] i can see it poing the router and then it craps out [09:20] Hey, I tried that check DVD and this is what it took me to (again): http://media.share.ovi.com/m1/original/0520/fb972ca4dc754f29b320775a9bac5071.jpg and hows that for in one sentance :) [09:20] *ping [09:21] mb_: try disabling the wireless security and try and connect then let me know [09:21] man. now i have to open up the network [09:21] gah! [09:21] ok. [09:21] Sohan: okay, looks like burning the CD image to a DVD was a Bad Idea, then [09:21] hrmph. [09:21] mb_: if that doesnt work, then remove the config files for it an connect to it like its the first time [09:22] Ediferious: I like things handed too me. I don't like to do work unless it's easy and needed :) [09:22] mach2 thats not good [09:22] Ediferious: wish me luck I'm trying it out now [09:22] delken: where would I check that mate? [09:22] mach2; Its for your own good that you learn :P [09:22] Mach2: Good luck. [09:23] Sohan: I've been looking online and various other people had problems when they burned the Ubuntu .iso to a DVD too. Looks like you'll need to burn it to a CD instead, or download the DVD .iso and burn it to a DVD. [09:23] rww: where can I get the dvd iso? [09:23] Sohan: I don't want to learn... I just want to know :) [09:23] It sucks coz i have no CDs [09:23] Sohan: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#dvd [09:23] mach2 you don't know without learning.. [09:24] mach2: Your not going to get very far with Linux and getting support of people with that attitutde.......if you was in one fo the other channels with that attitude you wouldnt even get acknowledged [09:24] rww: I googled the initramfs that was before the type thing, and it thrown this up: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765195 [09:24] I have no raid, but that ahci enabled. Could that be it? [09:25] Signius, I agree, but will keep my mouth neutral :D [09:25] Hi, I've mounted a DVD to HDD to play through VLC but it stutters. Why? [09:25] Sohan: it could be, I hadn't thought of that. Try pressing F6 at the boot menu and looking into the boot options maybe? [09:25] mikebeecham: you'd usually check that within a terminal, by typing "ifconfig" [09:25] I hate checking every time, because I need to reboot and vista sucks for load times. What should I be adding / looking for / removing? [09:25] WIGGMPk: it appears to have been an unrecognized key issued form the router that the wireless config was puking all over. [09:26] when I start the install i do the first steps but the partitioner never starts. [09:26] WIGGMPk: we'll see. booting now to be sure. [09:26] I'm on a Dell Studio 17 btw. [09:26] Signius: hehe I"m half way joking... I've worked with many linuxes. Slackware, Suse, Mandriva and even alittle FreeBSD. Sometimes I like to learn... other times I just want it to work. [09:26] mb_: k lemme know [09:26] Btw I just want to add: MYSPACE SUCK :@!! They robbed me of like $200 so far today [09:26] hi [09:26] Sohan: no idea, unfortunately. Although... you have Windows Vista installed already? Have you considered using Wubi instead? [09:27] What the heck is Wubi lol [09:27] delken: sorry mate, I dont understand a lot about networks...I have used ifconfig, but cannot see anything about full duplex? [09:27] Sohan: http://wubi-installer.org/ [09:27] Ediferious: woohoo it works! [09:27] Mach2: Awesome! [09:27] WIGGMPk: strange. it works but i have to connect manually. never had to do that before. [09:27] <------Isnt very good at keeping my mouth shut.......I say it like it is.........Im not saying everyone knows everything but when you blatently admit you acant be assed to learna nd want eveyrone else to just do it for you then they can go F*C* themelseves with any help IMHO [09:27] "connect to hidden network" [09:27] meh. [09:27] Sohan: installs Ubuntu as a file inside your Windows partition, so you don't have to repartition or boot from a CD/DVD at all. Download it from the website I linked then put it and the .iso you already have in the same place and run it. [09:28] mb_: make sure your router is broadcasting its SSID [09:28] LOL [09:28] mikebeecham: you'd want to have a look at ifconfig, where it says RX/TX packets, it'll give you an idea if you're having networking issues. [09:28] what happend there to bazhang [09:28] test [09:28] WIGGMPk: no way. [09:28] mb_: seems to be a router issue, and not an Ubuntu kernel issue though [09:28] WIGGMPk: mac authenticated too [09:28] mb_: your overly paranoid [09:28] :) [09:28] what is i386 i586 etc, i have x86 32bit, what should i choose? [09:28] there's a bug in kde which really affects my intrepid experience in that kmail crashes pressing the send button. i'd like some help with this please. this is reported in kde as 169986. i'd like to find a workaround so that i could send mail using kmail [09:28] mb_: MAC Addy filtering is good enough [09:28] [09:26] * Signius (n=IceChat7@dsl-217-155-69-101.zen.co.uk) has left #ubuntu (requested by bazhang) [09:29] how do you do that? [09:29] rafting, i386 [09:29] rafting, what are yoy trying to install ? [09:29] I believe there is a time to give and then there is a time to tell them to get a job :) [09:29] Sohan, magic [09:29] lol [09:29] rafting, if you have a recent cpu, i586 [09:29] I thought a kick says was kicked by.. [09:29] WIGGMPk: i just don't want any one driving by and seeing the connection. I live right next to a main road. [09:29] delken: RX & TX Packets both show 105: 0 on everything else [09:29] bazhang.. how do you know who I am lol [09:29] Sohan: freenode does kicks weirdly. Best to just ignore moderator actions ;) [09:29] mb_: lol, yes you are overly paranoid [09:29] nvm [09:29] I thought I had my other nick [09:29] mb_: let me tell you a secret... they CAN SEE IT ANYWAY [09:29] could somebody please help me to enable wireless connection... i am new to ubuntu and using 8.10.. i am currently on wired connection [09:29] WIGGMPk: indeed. I used for a wireless company. [09:29] how can I highlight my ow text in irc? [09:30] using mirc [09:30] *to work === Sohan is now known as Snow|man [09:30] rafting, we don't support mirc here [09:30] mikebeecham: try typing this in a terminal and see if it helps: "sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" [09:30] Ediferious: how long you been using 64bit? [09:30] Mach2: Since you were 3. [09:30] WIGGMPk: i have tried numeroius "sniffers" and they all seem to turn up a different SSID and never my actual one. [09:30] mb_: a program called Kismet, maps ALL wireless frequencies and waves.. no matter if you broadcast your SSID or not.. they will see it if they are war-driving with Kismet.. and just crack it with Airsnort.. MAC Addy filtering is your best bet [09:31] i've heard of it [09:31] Ediferious: you mean since 2 days ago? [09:31] Hi, Burned ubuntu 8.10 32BIT to disk, default user 'ubuntu' log in, reaches a screen (i think that is the wallpaper, somewhat brown, red texture), and then nothing happens, just a picture pressed CTRL+ALT+DEL, a window with end session and log out came up. I waited but nothing came up. Any ideas, thanks... [09:31] I'm having trouble viewing some games or using blender. I get a screen like this http://i36.tinypic.com/2hdml40.png ? [09:31] WIGGMPk: you realize that MAC filtering is easy to bypass, right? [09:31] mb_: ive used it for a long while.. never gave me false info [09:31] Ediferious: lol jk [09:31] could somebody please help me to enable wireless connection... i am new to ubuntu and using 8.10.. i am currently on wired connection [09:31] Mach2: Nah, I've been running my ubuntu box for 2.5 years or so. [09:31] ;) [09:31] rww: no, wasnt aware of that [09:31] WIGGMPk: that's cool. these laptops don't get moved often so I don't really do any thing with connection disocvery. [09:31] cheat, go to system, administration, network tools [09:31] mikebeecham: if that command doesnt work, try "sudo mii-tool -w eth0" [09:32] Hi, Burned ubuntu 8.10 32BIT to disk, default user 'ubuntu' log in, reaches a screen (i think that is the wallpaper, somewhat brown, red texture), and then nothing happens, just a picture pressed CTRL+ALT+DEL, a window with end session and log out came up. I waited but nothing came up. Any ideas, thanks... [09:32] WIGGMPk: I'm not gonna go into the details, but getting the MAC address of computers connected to the access point isn't hard, and then you just change the MAC of your wireless card to match one of those MAC addresses. [09:32] cliff_ and what do i do next? [09:32] mb_: btw, if your running Ubuntu, all the ports are closed "out-of-the-box" [09:32] hey [09:32] hi [09:32] when I start the install i do the first steps but the partitioner never starts. [09:32] Ediferious: I've been back and forth with linuxes. I've tried ubuntu around 5.04 ver [09:32] rww: you would need to connect to the access point first though right? [09:33] WIGGMPk: although, with wireless security, i tend to take the point of view of "enable what you can and hope it's enough" [09:33] WIGGMPk: nope [09:33] rww: i dont see how that is possible to talk to an access point/router without connecting to it [09:33] when I start the install i do the first steps but the partitioner never starts. im trying to install ubuntu 8.10 from USB-memory. [09:33] I want to setup an apt repository to only upgrade specific packages when I want them to, but I don't know how to do it. I know it has something to do with apt pinning, but I can't figure out how to do exactly what i want. === te_ is now known as defn [09:33] Mach2: Its pretty spiff now. [09:33] Hi, Burned ubuntu 8.10 32BIT to disk, default user 'ubuntu' log in, reaches a screen (i think that is the wallpaper, somewhat brown, red texture), and then nothing happens, just a picture pressed CTRL+ALT+DEL, a window with end session and log out came up. I waited but nothing came up. Any ideas, thanks... [09:33] cheat - sorry try this, goto system, preferences, network configuration [09:34] WIGGMPk: there's info on it elsewhere online. It's offtopic for this channel, though, and borderline !o4o === angay is now known as superHddd [09:34] HI, My Ubuntu cannot start today suddently. I don't know what is the reason. Could anybody help me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/81830/ [09:34] ciao a tutti [09:34] !it | superHddd [09:34] superHddd: 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) [09:34] Ediferious: oh yes :). So this 64bit version seems to be alittle more smoother than 32bit. Any other cool things you have seen from it? [09:34] sorry [09:35] HI, My Ubuntu cannot start today suddently. I don't know what is the reason. Could anybody help me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/81830/ [09:35] mach2: it beats the heck out of 32bit for scientific computing, I've noticed :D [09:35] !repeat | afancy [09:35] afancy: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [09:35] afancy, repeating will not help [09:35] afancy: boot off the cd, and choose "recover broken installation" [09:35] delken, that is very unlikely to solve his problem === Bitfish is now known as bitFish [09:35] rww: man... you are doing great helping people. Keep up the good work :) [09:36] delken: how to recover broken installation? [09:36] joaopinto: depends what may be causing the problem, usually first thing is to recover, and see if that works. [09:36] delken: done a bit more investigative work....when I ping google I'm getting really good ping results [09:37] So my install of 8.04 has been having app-launch issues for the last several months. After a seemingly random period of time, I cannot launch any apps. (they sit as a process, never showing a window) and GNOME itself locks up. Also, sound dies entirely. Have to move to a console (Shift+F1) and force a reboot there, or do a hard-power down to get it so I can launch new apps. Any ideas? [09:37] delken, not really, the first thing to do is to understand the problem, as far as I remember recover only provides the ability to restore the boot loader, which is not his problem === bitFish is now known as Bitfish [09:37] delken: and am doing a traceroute now, and it SEEMS good...but my browsing is really bad at the moment, and I cant start any downloads [09:37] the rest requires manual intervention, meaning, understanding of the problem... [09:37] mikebeecham: thats great to hear, you may need to run that command manually after every reboot to get it to run at 100 full duplex [09:37] Mach2: Yeah, I think it helped kill my intergrated graphics card/ motherboard once ;) [09:38] Mach2: but really, its smooth....Not much else? [09:38] Ediferious: how did it kill it? [09:38] Mach2: Melted it to oblivion ;) [09:38] delken: but my browsing is very very slow mate...so something is not working right. I've checked the preferences in FF3, and it is set to auto detect proxy settings [09:38] when I start the install i do the first steps but the partitioner never starts. im trying to install ubuntu 8.10 from USB-memory. [09:39] Ediferious: lol... I would have a heart attack it it did it to mine [09:39] mikebeecham: are you able to try downloading from a terminal with "wget" to see if you get any different results than from your browser? [09:39] Mach2: Warranty [09:39] :) [09:40] delken: fairly new to linux mate...if you can give me an example to use then I will happily try [09:40] Mach2: Back in a bitm, okay? [09:40] mach2: thanks :) [09:40] Ediferious: ok cool [09:40] rww: anytime [09:41] rafting: what does it do when it gets to the partitioner step? just freeze up? [09:41] mikebeecham: i see :) try and find a link to download something, then jump to a terminal and type "wget http://(link)/(itemtodownload)" [09:41] hi, i try to format a harddrive, but i get errors from gparted and it stops, can someone help ? [09:42] hi [09:42] tim167_: put those errors into pastebin and link them here [09:42] tim167: hi, what errors are you getting? [09:42] hello everyone [09:43] rww, delken 'can't have overlapping partitions' [09:43] smoothtexan: hello [09:43] tim167_: sounds fairly self-explanatory... take a look at the partitions in gparted and make sure none of them overlap :P [09:43] hi, what package do i need to install to get the nvidia binary drivers for the -rt kernel? [09:44] rww, tim167: lol :) [09:44] rww, delken and when i move the start of the partition i get: " _generate_raw_freespace_part() failed" [09:44] i installed linux-restricted-modules-rt [09:44] i'm having problems with grub, specifically with the mbr. Now when i start the pc i see a terminal with grub> and apparently with no error, he take me directly to the grubs interpreter [09:44] tapas: Have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ? [09:45] rww: nope.. nvidia drivers run perfect in the non-rt kernel [09:45] rww: now i don't have X atm ;) [09:45] delken, rww there is also a 1KB partition sitting at the beginning of the disk which gparted doesnt recognise and cannot delete... [09:45] and have installed grub several times, with no succesful. [09:45] tapas: oh, it's an -rt kernel specific bug? never mind then (and i have no idea, sorry :( ) [09:45] tim167_: sounds like your MBR is having issues [09:46] rww: dunno whether it's a bug, or expected behaviour.. [09:46] rww, it is a new disk, i bought it yesterday [09:46] Hey [09:46] tim167_: is there anything on it you need to keep? [09:46] How do I find out the release version, I'm sshed into a box ? [09:46] I've added medibuntu to sources, installed libdvdread3 and libdvdcss2, found and run the install-css.sh thingie, and mplayer still cannot play my DVD movie. What could be wrong? [09:47] tim167_: 'cause if not, try Device > Create partition table [09:47] rww, no, i just want to start using it, it should be empty [09:47] Oh, and I've installed the w32codecs, too. [09:47] if i use Nvidia-177 for my graphics card can i remove nvidia 96 and 173 [09:47] tim167_: that'll theoretically wipe out any existing partitions or weirdness [09:47] no luck :( [09:47] rww, i have 'set disklabel' only in Device > ... [09:47] The booth options mentioned casper [09:47] delken: what do you have you FF3 proxy settings set to....should I have no proxy, auto detect, or system? [09:48] rww, is that any good ? [09:48] rww and if so, should i choose 'msdos' or something else ? [09:48] tim167_: sounds like it's the same thing. and yeah, you want msdos [09:48] If I use wubi then decide to move to Ubuntu fully, can I delete my Vista partition and expand the ubutu to use it all? [09:49] mikebeecham: depending on how you're currently connected to the internet, if you' uring hdsl, adsl, vsat etc etc, you can set it to no proxy.. unless you're going through a corporate LAN with a proxy server. [09:49] hello [09:49] Snow|man, yes look for something called LVPM [09:49] delken: have sent a download request via wget, and it is giving back a Read error (connection reset by peer) in headers [09:49] delken: how to recover broken installation?

[10:07] tim167_: tim167_ if C0nn0R_'s suggestion doesn't work out, try doing sudo chmod 777 /path/to/mount/point or sudo chown username /path/to/mount/point or something like that. Root folders of ext3 partitions have permissions too ;) [10:08] rww, ok i'll try [10:09] tim167_: but I only tried that on my /, not a secondary drive, so your mileage may vary i guess [10:09] C0nn0R, It mounts without any problems any other partition type except for ext3 (grrr!!)

I have a HD, 160 GB and i need 5 partitions. 2 for OS (Vista and Ubuntu), 1 for data (data very important), 1 for data (a bit important) and 1 for Swap. Is the same if i do make partitions primarys and logic for OS? What you think about it? [11:30] pakus: thats the search field, you can also set the "domain" pameter in resolve.con which acts as the default, but you are correct thats not actually setting a domain, that can only be done with dns or the name service for the network [11:30] thought you could only have 4 logical [11:30] hello [11:30] anybody [11:30] yes? [11:30] IntoxikCat: primary/extended doesn't matter [11:30] Any recommendations on administering say 10 ubuntu boxes? Preferably centralizing patch delivery? 5/5 split between x86 & x86_64? [11:31] ikonia: Of course, if you want to modify for hosts other than you, you need a dns change... [11:31] nonix4: puppet, or cron [11:31] mrwes: you can only have 4 logical [11:31] anyone knows computer architecture [11:31] Maddeth_work: no, you can have 4 primary, and upto 15 in totoal [11:31] Maddeth_work: what is the question [11:32] oorps [11:32] IntoxikCat: i had a similar problem, i dont remember how i fied it [11:32] michaelwoo: what is the question [11:32] :( [11:32] haha [11:32] lol ikonia [11:32] just for fun [11:32] ikonia: thinking about making a local mirror as well... === chaky_ is now known as chaky [11:32] nonix4: a good idea [11:33] I want to put a hostname to my ubuntu [11:33] how can i stop conky from covering my gnome icons?

[11:33] apt-get install time ? [11:34] crekarasu: install time, when you installed the operating system [11:34] crekarasu: the hostname is set when you installed the OS [11:34] Thks man [11:34] i think he can change after install the os [11:34] but i forget how~ === icqnumber_ is now known as icqnumber [11:35] but i have installed ubuntu and now want to set a hostname [11:35] check in wiki~ [11:35] crekarasu did you not set the correct hostname at install time [11:35] yes, you can~ === sean is now known as Guest26206 [11:35] i am sure about that~ [11:35] michaelwoo: you can, it's /etc/hosts and /etc/nodename [11:35] ikonia now i can to set hostname ? [11:36] crekarasu: did you not set the hostname when you installed the OS [11:36] crekarasu: open a terminal and type "hostname", what do you see ? [11:36] ikonia, thank you, i just remember that i did it once~ [11:37] ikonia: also considering diskless for some, as in ltsp-manager... wonder how that, some puppet & local mirror(s) would integrate :) [11:38] nonix4: well it wouldn't matter, as your disk is off the server, so you wouldn't need to update the clients [11:38] does any one by any chance at all own a zepto laptop? [11:38] iSchadow: you'll get a better response if you just ask the quesstion thats causing you a problem [11:39] yeah I know [11:39] just wondering... [11:39] they say my model has full support for 8.04 on their website [11:39] ikonia: except for the cases where they need stuff that diverges from the main image... oh well, only one way to find out :) [11:39] iSchadow: great [11:39] didn't know if "full support" included suspend or not [11:39] because I can't resume after suspend [11:39] it will just be hardware support [11:39] heya [11:39] ugh [11:40] need some help with compiz.. how do iget the rotate cube .. to show me the facets instead of being INSIDE the cube [11:40] !compiz > Assid [11:40] Assid, please see my private message [11:41] "full support" is a marketing term - and marketing terms in general do not have a well defined meaning :-/ [11:41] hrmm [11:42] Good day gentlemen [11:42] Ibex has a bug in suspend, no? I thought I read that on launchpad [11:42] hello all! hey i got a webpage with args like a.com/mypage.php?arg=1 , how do i curl/wget to this file ? its not agree to pass the args trough ... thanks! [11:43] suspend is a problem in gernal with certain hardware / video cards [11:43] Assid: it seems that ubuntu is getting even better :) by dissecting their irc channels into more specific areas [11:43] ikonia: and audio [11:43] ikonia, ahh....ATI you mean? [11:43] bikak0: it can only get the url [11:43] mrwes: amongst others, but yes, ATI is the main issue in terms of video cards [11:44] ribatejo1: always has [11:44] so how can i surf to url in ssh with args? [11:44] bikak0: just put the full url into curl [11:45] Assid: just letting you know..yesterday they kind of directed me to support :) [11:45] anyone tried linux mint yet? [11:45] taterpeel: me [11:45] im reading the documentation for it [11:45] awsome [11:45] it seems nice how did u like? [11:45] taterpeel: there are support/discussion resources for mint, thats not for this channel please. [11:46] ok [11:46] thanks [11:46] taterpeel, more beautiful~ [11:46] sorry [11:46] assid: see what I mean?read ikonia responses [11:47] ribatejo1: this is an ubuntu support channel only, there are other places such as #ubuntu-offtopic, ##linux, for generic linux chatter [11:47] Anyone Estonian here who can translate "no mida vittu"? [11:47] Ohh there we are offtopic channel [11:47] sorry [11:47] no problem [11:48] sure, I am not complaining.. [11:48] ribatejo1: then stop making comments about it [11:48] for the mirroring... is apt-mirror the recommended way or some rsync-based ones or...? [11:48] I am actually being carefull to know what channel is this one about be4 asking my question ;) [11:48] nonix4: both word really well [11:48] nonix4: I've used apt-mirror to setup the repo, then rsync it to keep it in sync [11:49] smb know how to use itunes on ubuntu?? [11:49] anhdh, you could use songbird [11:49] anhdh: itunes is not available on linux, you have to use it through wine, or use a linux based alternative [11:50] I got ubuntu 8.10 live CD, how can I use it to upgrade it from 8.04. [11:51] kushalsejwal: I'm told only the alternative cd can be used for an upgrade, but I'm not %100 on that [11:51] ikonia: I have heard that only, just wanted to confirm it. [11:52] kushalsejwal: I believe it's because the packages are held in squash FS on the livecd, where as not on the altnernative [11:52] kushalsejwal: eg: you do'nt have to uncompress them to use them [11:52] which makes sense [11:52] ikonia: yes you are right. BTW how much MBs would it take If I upgrade it via internet? [11:52] kushalsejwal: depends on your ubuntu system [11:53] kushalsejwal: if you have 1GB of packages installed you can take a rough guess that it will take 1GB to upgade [11:53] is lvm-raid6 supported only by server image of Intrepid or also on desktop? [11:53] nonix4: lvm-raid6 ? [11:53] how can I deactivate screen-saver in a script? i need it for playing games: the screen is darkened after a minute or so. I've found this script: gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled "false" , but it's not working for me. any ideas? [11:53] nonix4: lvm is not raid [11:53] ikonia: lvm on top of raid6 [11:54] nonix4: you can do that on the desktop to, although you can't install to it by default [11:54] hey guys, how do I ssh into a linux server ... I am only familiar with putty in windows [11:54] Cannon: ssh $servername_or_ip [11:54] k [11:54] Cannon: I suggest man ssh [11:54] that easy, eh? :P [11:54] man ssh? [11:54] cannon: sudo apt-get install open-server sshfs [11:55] whats that for mrwes? [11:55] ikonia: yeah installed 8.04 w/ server image, switched over to desktop kernel once the basic stuff was installed... so the same procedure needed for 8.10? [11:55] mrwes: you don't need that to ssh into a machine [11:55] ahh..my bad [11:55] mrwes: the package is openssh-server, you don't need sshfs, [11:55] and you do'nt need openssh-server to act as a client [11:55] Can you make ISO files in Ubuntu? [11:56] Frxstrem: mkisofs [11:56] ??? [11:56] ISO [11:56] Frxstrem: the command mkisofs [11:56] ok [11:56] Thanks [11:56] How i can Scan In ubuntu With My CANON All-in-one-PIXMA 145 !!

[11:59] <\slash> hey guys when i do man intro it gives me intro(1) when i do man -k intro theres a list of dif ones when i try doing man intro (2) it doesnt work how can i view the other manuals? [11:59] mrwes: client is available by default, openssh-server is like the first thing I install on all hosts anyway as it is rather useful :) [12:00] indistylo: XSane Image Scaner from Applicationss -> Graphics [12:00] join #brasil [12:00] \slash: man 2 intro [12:00] anyhow, I like openssh, makes it very convenient in getting data moved from one box to the other [12:00] <\slash> thanks bimberi === zeno___ is now known as zeno [12:01] (say you hit a nasty X or swap bug and your UI freezes - most of the time you can log in w/ ssh and fix the problem, even if sysrq-based attempts wouldn't work) [12:03] \slash: thanks to you too. I'd not seen 'man # intro' before :) [12:03] hi [12:04] is there any replacement for dislayconfig-gtk? [12:04] I need to get permissions on this group, I'm trying to get video from my miniDV-camera via firewire/Kino [12:04] crw-rw---- 1 root disk [12:08] whats the default root pass? [12:08] Snow|man: There isn't one. [12:08] !root | Snow|man [12:08] Snow|man: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:08] nonix4, so the best way to go from a linux box to windows is via samba? [12:09] sure isn't by tango [12:09] * Panarchy says Hi [12:09] I was wondering what font the ubuntu logo is in? [12:09] mrwes: huh? Well, that's the only protocol those will have enabled more-or-less by default... [12:10] What font is the ubuntu logo (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=UbuntuLogo.png) in? [12:10] Hey folks...I've decided to stick to LTS releases due to the whole Nvidia thing ( at least look it was not fixed ), but is there a way i can update some of the other components to the bleeding edge...such as this Pidgin program. How would i go about saying to Ubuntu.."Update just Pidgin to bleeding edge please" .... anyone any idea? Thanks. [12:10] i thought there is a root password when you type sudo [12:10] sudo apt-get update [12:10] sudo apt-get install pidgin [12:10] !into ttf-ubuntu-title | Panarchy [12:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:10] lol [12:10] !info ttf-ubuntu-title | Panarchy [12:10] ttf-ubuntu-title (source: ttf-ubuntu-title): the font used for the Ubuntu logo and related branding. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 28 kB, installed size 156 kB [12:10] (in that order nacnudprog) [12:10] I was wondering which firewall is better firestarter or ufw? [12:10] nonix4, is there anyway to make openssh connect on bootup/startup? [12:10] oops [12:11] nacnudprog: could you elaborate a bit on that issue? [12:11] Panarchy, would that take it to the latest version, even though i've got LTS releases selected? [12:11] nacnudprog, that is a bad idea pinning is what you want if you really want to do it but as I said it is a bad idea you don't know what other components will want to be upgraded to make that happen programs are not compiled in isolation [12:11] mrwes: sure, but what exactly would you like to do with it? [12:11] how do i install .net 2.0 on wine on ubuntu 8.10 ? [12:11] thiebaude: it's the user's password [12:11] nacnudprog: I believe so [12:11] nacnudprog: You may need to do the sudo apt-get upgrade as well [12:11] will 8.10 run on Celeron 850/100FSB, 512 RAM? [12:11] nonix4, just so I don't have to manually connect, say my laptop to the desktop [12:12] Ho. [12:12] Though I'm pretty sure just the update then the install [12:12] how do i install .net 2.0 on wine? [12:12] Non-ICE yes u can [12:12] :) [12:12] Non-ICE, burn the live cd and try it out [12:12] will it run 3d too with GF 4200 Ti? [12:12] Nonix4...yeah...no worries...i've selected LTS Update options in the software sources so it is my understanding that i only get versions of software that Ubuntu say are good....I just want to try and get the latest pidgin version and not wait till makes it into LTS support. [12:12] no [12:12] mrwes: umm... talking about sshfs showing the dirs as mounted folders? [12:12] to old [12:12] :) [12:12] Cheers..Panarchy...i'll try that:d [12:13] Okay, have fun! [12:13] I downloaded Ubuntu and it's an .iso file, to I just copy the file to a disk? [12:13] Non-ICE, yah...they show when I connect manually, but is there a way to make that happen on boot up or startup [12:13] (may also want to do a google search for it, with * deb) [12:13] I installed counter-strike 1.6 on my computer and i accidently clicked a resolution that screwed up the whole game. Now when ever I start counter strike it is all deformed. I have tried to reinstall it. what else should I try [12:13] nonix4, , yah...they show when I connect manually, but is there a way to make that happen on boot up or startup [12:13] What font is the ubuntu logo (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=UbuntuLogo.png) in? [12:13] mrwes: think so... or you can remove password prompts by using (unencrypted) private keys [12:14] I downloaded Ubuntu and it's an .iso file, to I just copy the file to a disk? [12:14] any program to watch my usplash / grub loading without restarting my computer? [12:14] nonix4, and I edited the config file so I can just connect to Bill's desktop and added it as a bookmark. Guess that's easy enough [12:14] Is a good idea make a small partition for install the GRUB? [12:14] Photoguy: You have to burn it using isorecorder [12:14] Photoguy: Use ImgBurn [12:14] To burn it to a CD [12:14] :) [12:14] (or DVD) [12:14] Which one is better? [12:14] Photoguy, your using Windows, right? [12:14] I used isorecorder [12:15] Isorecorder is very famous [12:15] Yes, sorry [12:15] Okay [12:15] with a slow burn speed [12:15] Ok [12:15] say 2x [12:15] Then just download and install ImgBurn (keeping all defaults) [12:15] I'll try isorecorder.. [12:15] Then double click the ISO (or Open With... ImgBurn) [12:15] or imgburn. [12:15] and install [12:15] AAAAH! [12:15] any program to watch my grub/usplash appearance without restarting my computer?? [12:15] mrwes: if you ssh-keygen a keypair and press enter when it asks for a passphrase, you can copy the public key to the destination host and then access it without typing a password [12:15] Just use ImgBurn [12:15] Panarchy: ttf-ubuntu-title [12:15] nice and free [12:15] Ok.

Once it hits there, if it can be backported, it will land in -backports [13:34] I'm trying to compile apache. If I want php support,do I need to compile with a special option, or is that a module I can add later? [13:34] guess not [13:34] lol [13:34] luja, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2356 [13:34] luja: use checkinstall, either http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ which is more advanced or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2356 which is simpler but less elegent [13:34] ciao ragazzi [13:34] but then my apt-cache search would have found the *new* version. [13:34] Hello @ all [13:34] hello :) [13:34] !hi [13:34] Vern_Ulven: it sounds like they want the installation disc in [13:34] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:34] SOURdiesel, a second [13:34] mi sareste d'auito nel attivare l'audio su firefox? [13:35] ve ne sarei grato [13:35] Hi messed about with '/etc/network/interfaces and messed up my wifi can someone help me please? [13:35] my english is not so good.i come from germany [13:35] !de [13:35] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [13:35] f00ffy: The disc is in the drive [13:35] !who | luja [13:35] luja: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:36] SOURdiesel, one last test to check. --> free -m | pastebinit [13:36] jrib: yep same problem? [13:36] Vern_Ulven: I see you're installing 8.10, do you already have ubuntu installed or is this a fresh installation? [13:36] Ohkie: Dette er en engelsk kanal! [13:36] f00fy: This is a fresh install and my first time [13:36] luja: also, you can't share checkinstall debs, they aren't proper debs. I'll send you the packaging docs in a sec. Note that there's also a gnucash ppa: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~gnucash/+archive [13:36] !packaging > luja [13:36] luja, please see my private message [13:37] hischild: http://pastebin.com/m22c4e44f [13:37] jrib: in fact when i run the restart command on samba i even get the same failed to kill message [13:38] Ohkie: k, so you really need to debug why samba is crashing and once you do that also undo the workaround in the bug. It doesn't look like that's resolved though. What happens if you purge all the samba stuff and revert your edits to the files in the bug? [13:38] Vern_Ulven: The first thing that goes off in my head when I see that error message is maybe you are trying to install the wrong version. What iso did you put on the cd? [13:38] hi if I want to use a multiple file transfer over scp towards another machine do I need to be in the directory where the files are stored in or can I do that from anywhere else? [13:38] SOURdiesel, i'm pretty much at a loss. For some reason you're actually using 3Gb of memory, but i have no idea where it went. [13:38] how do i use chack-install (OK, i know rtfm :-) but in short does it provile me a .deb package which i could put on my ftp ? [13:38] jrib: how would i go about purging it all? [13:38] paul68: anywhere [13:38] is there a way to increase the wireless signal more than setting it to maximum on windows? I have an intel 3945 card [13:39] system monitor it [13:39] hi guys.How do you format a usb stick .im using ubuntu 810 [13:39] f00fy: ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso [13:39] hischild: nice. how frustrating is that? [13:39] Ohkie: "completely remove" the samba packages in synaptic [13:39] skysurfer, install gparted [13:39] Hello i say, to the awsomest people of the universe. I am about to install Ubuntu on my ASUS C90S laptop and want to know if someone have any experience of this. Any help would be really appreciated. I am not a complete newbie in the linux-universe but I wouldnt consicer myself uber-experienced. [13:39] SOURdiesel, the not knowing or the high memory usage? Both are annoying. [13:39] !gparted | skys [13:39] skys: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [13:39] im havoing trouble insalling an update [13:39] mrwes, thanks [13:39] jrib: then edit the files and set them back to the way they were, or reinstall samba and see if that makes a diff? [13:39] hischild: both [13:39] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.16_amd64.deb: unable to make backup link of `./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic' before installing new version [13:39] Ohkie: you can try both [13:40] ok mate [13:40] jrib: so if I am in my home folder and I want to do a transfer of all my *.jpg which are stored in /home/username/Pictures what would the syntax be then [13:40] jrib: ill give that a try. thanks. [13:40] Bubo: pastebin the full output and the command you ran... [13:40] how to setup serial console under ubuntu? tutorial doesnt work [13:40] btw? has anybody tried which newest kernel-version runs with ubuntu-8.04lts? [13:40] hi, which terminal is better in Linux? [13:40] Xitruz: if no one answers you, there is no one here with asus c90 experience [13:40] jrib: its the update in the update manager [13:40] rxvt [13:40] SOURdiesel, both are very annoying. [13:40] afancy, i like xterm [13:40] and why cant ubuntu use inittab like normal distros [13:40] Bubo: is that the FULL output? [13:41] im sorry to ask this but, how do i get onto a channel that is invite only could anyone pls pm me so i dont disrupt the channel? [13:41] Vern_Ulven: What exactly happened with the monitor during the gui install [13:41] jrib: yes [13:41] jrib: should i just remove samba or anything that has 'samba' in synaptic? [13:41] simtower_laptop: because it uses upstart as init [13:41] ixvt is a goot term, mlterm has unicode. If you like hebrew or some other "strange" fonts use mlterm [13:41] how come i cant partition the disk? whatever i do the old ntfs partition always show up after trying to do a guided partitioning....? [13:41] tone: ok, there is a ksonole? [13:41] sure but upstart doesnt work [13:41] ezw3473 just wanted to make sure. :) guess I'll just try untill it works. [13:41] jrib: you get something like scp /home/username/Pictures/*.jpg username@server:/fotos right [13:41] f00fy: it lost signal after choosing the install option on the boot screen [13:41] Ohkie: check what samba depends (apt-cache depends samba) and see [13:41] ok [13:41] tone: I cannot remember what the mane is [13:42] kconsole? why you need qt and the stuff. rxvt is cool and small [13:42] Xitruz: is that a laptop? [13:42] May want to file this under "someone elses problem" but it appears if the filesystem fails (ie, NF craps out, or cifs dies), and is later re-established, transmission gets stuck on it's current file, and does not attempt to recover. I'm stuck at "verifying local data" on a torrent due to this, with no way to move on (other than restarting transmission). [13:42] rieccomi [13:42] Ohkie: so i see that samba-common should go to, but the libraries you probably want to leave [13:42] hi all [13:42] hi guys i need some help getting my atheros wireless to work any thoughts [13:42] ?? [13:42] Vern_Ulven: Did the monitor display something saying no signal or did the screen go blank? [13:42] paul68: sure, that would work === cakey is now known as EdwardCullen [13:42] jrib: wiat ive got more in the details [13:42] jrib: ok ill try those two to start with [13:42] Bubo: also pastebin 'df -h' [13:42] hi [13:42] jrib: I thought so to however I get the error message no such file or directory [13:43] ezw3473: yep :) want it to work as a dual-booted machine to. but i dont really know where to start [13:43] foofy: the screen went blank and the light turned from yellow to green. I let it sit for several hours and no signal [13:43] paul68: well, do all the paths you listed exist? Does /fotos exist? That's /fotos, not ~/fotos [13:43] f00fy sorry from green to yellow [13:43] jrib: heh. if i mark samba-common for complete removal it says it will also remove ubuntu-desktop which sounds like something i _dont_ want to do? [13:43] Xitruz: boot the live cd and see if it works and supports the hardware === EdwardCullen is now known as cakey [13:44] youtube videos are freezing on my computer [13:44] Onkie: you can remove it [13:44] jrib: they exists [13:44] Onkie: ubuntu-desktop is a virtual package [13:44] Ohkie: just put it back later. You can try just samba and see what happens. At this point we're just trying to get some more information [13:44] how can I see the manpage of the C function "strcmp"? [13:44] Does anyone know if there's a problem with the repositories at gb.archive.ubuntu.com? I cannot see the packages for feisty; http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty does not exist [13:44] ok ill work my way down from just samba first and then do the samba-common too. [13:44] paul68: does it work if you just put one jpg explicitly instead of *.jpg? [13:44] ezw3473: good point :) [13:45] Vern_Ulven: Okay give me a minute to think.... [13:45] Is there a recommended way for adding new fs's or should I just hack fstab? [13:45] hi, pressing ctrl-alt-h brings up a weird circular menu ? where is this coming from ? The KDE people haven't heard of it before... i'm on kubuntu 8.04 [13:45] !feisty | gravelld [13:45] gravelld: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol for more details. [13:45] f00fy: ok thank you for your help [13:45] gravelld: you need to upgrade to a supported release [13:45] youtube videos are freezing up on my computer [13:45] I tried installing "gcc-doc" and "manpages-dev" but none of them provided a "strcmp" manpage [13:45] help : "CIFS VFS: Write2 ret -9, wrote 0" and "CIFS VFS: Send error in Close = -9" many times in dmesg. Cause / resolve? [13:45] thanks all! [13:46] and so is a dapper a longer supported release? [13:46] jrib marcelkoopman: i can still access samba shares on my network? do i need to restart/logout? [13:46] Vern_Ulven: I'm thinking the best thing to do is to try a live CD, are you installing from that? You can choose try Ubuntu and install it from the install file located on the desktop. This method might go blank as well though but it is worth a shot [13:47] gravelld: dapper and hardy are special, they are LTS. So they'll get support for 3 years on the Desktop while others only have support for 18 months. However, you can't upgrade to dapper from feisty since dapper came before feisty [13:47] jrib: found the error the mac to where I want to copy to lists things differently it solved now [13:47] cousteau: hmm, manpages-dev should provide man strcmp [13:47] gravelld: your options are gutsy, hardy (LTS), or intrepid. I'd recommend at least hardy [13:47] thanks jrib === steven is now known as dash4cash4077 [13:47] thanks. i think intrepid, i need the x improvements [13:47] f00fy: I thought the desktop iso was a live cd with option to install from within the live environment [13:47] jrib: trying apt-get remove smbfs as per marcel's suggestion :) [13:47] youtube videos are freezing up on my computer [13:48] gravelld: try a live cd first and read the release notes [13:48] !notes > gravelld [13:48] gravelld, please see my private message [13:48] Ohkie: s/remove/purge [13:48] k [13:48] ezw3473: I don't need to reload the manpages cache or something like that, do I? [13:48] Vern_Ulven: Pretty sure it is [13:48] cousteau: no [13:49] f00fy: If that is the case I tried it both ways ans still blank [13:49] guys, i have a big big problem [13:49] Bupsss, :) [13:49] the file system of my home partition, went off [13:49] everything disappeared and it created a new home folder [13:49] Vern_Ulven: So you chose "Try Ubuntu" instead of install and it went blank? Try Ubuntu will load the os and you can install from the live desktop [13:49] cousteau: on my system (older ubuntu), the strcmp manpage is installed as /usr/share/man/man3/strcmp.3.gz [13:49] with a fschk i managed to get back the files in the lost and found folder [13:49] OK... I was writing "strcomp [13:49] cousteau: and man strcmp just works [13:49] but now, i'm scared that it could happen again [13:49] " instead of "strcmp" [13:50] Bupsss, what happened [13:50] cousteau: oh okay [13:50] what do you recommend? [13:50] marcelkoopman dont really know [13:50] I compiled a new kernel, and now that I switch to a virtual console I only get a blank screen (when I log in and write a command, it does take an effect. I just don't see anything on the screen) [13:50] f00fy: yes I tried it both ways and still get a blank screen. That is what prompted me to try the text install [13:50] i rebooted, and everything disappeared [13:50] Bupsss, its always safer to keep documents on removable drives [13:50] it did a unclean shutdown check [13:50] jrib: heh i can still navigate to windows computers on the network? etc //kate/D [13:50] cousteau: btw, better use strncmp, so you can limit the bytes to be compared [13:50] Bupsss, i have important things on a usb drive [13:51] marcelkoopman me too, but usb drives, are normally less safe than hd [13:51] Ohkie: I don't think that really matters anyway, it's the server that's having issues [13:51] \q [13:51] Bupsss, why? [13:51] \q [13:51] but apart from that.... is that normal that it resets the home folder? [13:51] Vern_Ulven: Okay. I think there is a way to force VESA drivers during the install, just trying to remember how [13:51] jrib: ok so i should just re-install it now? [13:51] i ripped out all X window stuff, anyway to still update to the latest distrubution? [13:51] Ohkie: if you want to try that, sure [13:52] or is it only possible via update manager, apt-get won't work? [13:52] afancy: /q, not \q [13:52] Hi people [13:52] Bupsss, if the partition where you mounted /home/user has problems, yes [13:52] jrib: sounds good to me ;) [13:52] sdlwof: Apt-get will work [13:52] marcelkoopman but it never happened before [13:52] Bupsss, what version of ubuntu are you using [13:52] 8.10 [13:52] FreeFull, will, or should? or maybe? :) [13:52] transporter: which kernel are you using? [13:52] sdlwof: Will [13:52] Bupsss, you use ext3? [13:52] haha, ok. [13:52] i'll take yoru word. [13:52] greetings all, stupid newbie question. i'm using ubuntu-studio 7.10 and would like to upgrade to 8.10. will upgrading make me lose all the settings and progs i have installed or does it upgrade and keep everything as is? [13:52] cousteau im using ubuntu hardy [13:52] marcelkoopman yes [13:53] transporter: and which flash player version? [13:53] should i reinstall the system, or keep the new home? [13:53] onefunk: It will keep the settings [13:53] !upgrade > sdlwof [13:53] sdlwof, please see my private message [13:53] Bupsss, i dont think it will happen often, it could but just copy your stuff to usb, thats safer [13:53] FreeFull, thank you. [13:53] cousteau: the problem just started this afternoon because i was having trouble with my fb application where it was telling me to update my flashplayer [13:54] jrib, i don't have a gui, no browser client... [13:54] sdlwof: I know, I read that [13:54] anybody speak german? [13:54] jrib: ok im gonna remove samba, edit those files, reboot. and see what happens ;) (im sure you're on the edge of your seat with excitement :) ) [13:54] oh, can't read urls... [13:54] If I have an Intel Core 2 Duo on my laptop. Should I use the 64-bit version of ubuntu? [13:54] sdlwof: use another computer... links2... w3m... [13:54] Xitruz, you could [13:54] guys i need some help [13:54] Vern_Ulsen: do you have access to the computer right now to try somethings? [13:54] anyone willing to help me please IM me [13:54] some things* [13:54] transporter: flash videos + amarok / totem / other media don't work well on my PC with kernels 2.6.24-21/22 but do work well with 2.6.24-19 [13:54] Xitruz, but it wont be much difference i think [13:55] i updated the flashplayer fb is working fine then youtube had no video i got the video back but then no audio now i got both the online audi and video but my previously downloaded videos files are freezing up and no audio. [13:55] guys reckon id get away with running ubuntu on a p3 500 220 meg of ram? [13:55] f00fy: yes it is downstairs [13:55] lol Ulvern** [13:55] Ulven**** [13:55] damn me [13:55] test [13:55] SimpleSimonSays, test what? [13:55] cousteau: there was a lot of uninstalling and downloading and what not that took place [13:55] marcelkoopman: is the 64:bit more "buggy" or is it just like the 32bit but i could get a little extra from it? [13:55] it's Fedora 10 a ubuntu ver.? [13:55] cousteau: could u help me? === sean is now known as Guest48094 [13:56] Xitruz, i'm using 64 bit right now, bought a new computer amd64 [13:56] Xitruz, its very fast [13:56] transporter: if you are using a 32 bit processor I recommend you to install the official Adobe Flash Player 10 .deb package, which you can download from Adobe [13:56] i just ask because i was told in the 7.x series that distrubution upgrades via apt-get was unsupported. and only works via update manager. [13:56] Vern_Ulven: Try the live cd and choose advanced options at the list where it asks install, try, etc. Then if you want you can come back and tell me what the options are because I dont remember off the top of my head [13:56] Xitruz, but it could also be fast in 32bit mode [13:56] cousteau: the flash player is upto date [13:56] sdlwof: that's correct [13:56] haha, wtf [13:56] Orker: Fedora is not Ubuntu [13:57] Xitruz, however i have 4 gig of ram now, which is fully used, i could expand it more and 64 bit supports that, 32 bit not [13:57] i cannot get my atheros wireless driver to work [13:57] Vern_Ulven: We may be able to force the VESA drivers which should prevent your monitor from going blank [13:57] f00fy: ok I will be back. thank you [13:57] so i can't upgrade my system unless i have a gui installed? sounds retarded. [13:57] I compiled a new kernel, and now that I switch to a virtual console I only get a blank screen (when I log in and write a command, it does take an effect. I just don't see anything on the screen) [13:57] sdlwof: the instructions for upgrading without a gui are on the link I gave you (server instructions) [13:57] marcelkoopman: nice. :) ill try that live-cd then. another question. can u install directly from the livecd? [13:57] sdlwof: you need to *read* [13:57] Xitruz, yes [13:57] Xitruz, you mean ubuntu then [13:58] marcelkoopman: anything i shoudl do in Vista before I try this if I want to dual-boot? [13:58] now now, i'm getting two different answers. one says apt-get works, one says it doesn't. [13:58] marcelkoopman: yes, ubuntu [13:58] Xitruz¬ format c: [13:58] ;) [13:58] :P [13:58] and this is a desktop edition, not the server edtion. [13:58] Mornin' folks [13:59] sdlwof: apt-get works for upgrades, is that what youre asking? [13:59] nnull: what is this mysteriois command u give to me [13:59] hi, how to install scim chinese input [13:59] f00fyf00f3rz, i have a 7.10 box, need to up it to 8.04 [13:59] errm 8.10 [13:59] Xitruz¬ get supergrub just incase (i do anyway) but its not recommended advice generally [14:00] it's the desktop editon, and has no gnome, no kde, no xserver, nothing for a gui. [14:00] Xitruz, vista? [14:00] sdlwof: I would sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade and i think the upgrade command is sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [14:00] sdlwof: it doesn't matter what edition it is. Use the instructions for upgrading the server. If you would just take 2 minutes and read the link I gave you, you would have your answer [14:00] Xitruz, you mean install vista first? [14:00] sdlwof¬ sounds pretty boring ;) [14:01] sdlwof, f00fyf00f3rz: that won't work. But even if you fix what you missed, that method isn't supported [14:01] nnull: lmao! [14:01] nnull, it sit's outside on the rooftop, [14:01] * [gnubie] waves [14:01] sdlwof¬ lol doing what [14:01] nnull, wireless things.... ;) [14:01] spying on ure nextdoor neighbour? ;) [14:01] <[gnubie]> i just installed ubuntu mobile(?) on my ibm thinkpad x32 via network install [14:01] marcelkoopman: I am using Windows Vista on the laptop right now. but I want to have both vista and ubuntu. so I want to have dualboot on it. and anything I need to do in vista to get this to work before I install ubuntu on it? [14:01] running newest 8.10 and have apache2 installed and running zoneminder... when I go and change the listen port on apache2 in ports.conf from 80 to something like 1080 it seems that all my php and java breaks... Is there some other way I should be changing this listen port so everything changes with it? [14:01] nnull, all 190 AP's :D [14:02] lawl [14:02] jrib: What do you mean? That's how I installed 8.10 [14:02] <[gnubie]> am i doing the right thing? [14:02] f00fyf00f3rz: I mean what I said. It's not *supported* [14:02] Xitruz, it might not work because vista uses nfts and ubuntu cant resize it, but give it a try [14:02] <[gnubie]> or, should i install ubuntu desktop instead? [14:02] jrib marcelkoopman: ok no go with that. are you sure i can remove the ubuntu-desktop package? [14:02] anyone greek? [14:02] like bobby buchae's mum would say "Wireless is the DEBIL! *fade out....." [14:02] jrib: right [14:02] <[gnubie]> ubuntu network install has so many choices of installation type.. i don't know which one really to choose [14:02] Ohkie, yes, you can always install it again later [14:03] <[gnubie]> please advice [14:03] f00fyf00f3rz: and there exists a supported method [14:03] jrib: I understand now, I thought you meant something else =P [14:03] guys i really need some help here [14:03] marcelkoopman: im not going to be in some console trying to do it? [14:03] marcelkoopman: but I have 2 disks on this one, so if i just format it in ubuntu it shouldnt be a problem? [14:03] Ohkie, just do it [14:03] f00fyf00f3rz: if you meant why I said it won't work, you forgot to edit sources.list [14:03] marcelkoopman: ok [14:03] just installed ubuntu 8.10 and everything is working fine except the wireless network [14:04] <[gnubie]> i feel my laptop now running ubuntu mobile is slow [14:04] Xitruz, yes the first one for vista and the second for ubuntu is good, it will format the second one [14:04] <[gnubie]> i got a 1gb of ram here [14:04] Ohkie: so reverting your edits and purging samba, still causes your login to fail? [14:04] jrib: yep [14:05] hi [14:05] f00fy: There was a safe graphics mode available after hitting f4 that got me to the live environment. I am trying the install icon now.

[14:09] Dreams: It's happening because of the proprietary ATI drivers. I'm running on an ATI X1400.

[14:09] <|Dreams|> so nothing i can do then apart from disable compiz when i want to watch a video [14:09] Crocodil: Couldn't you set a network between your desktop and laptop and get internet on the laptop through the network? [14:09] Dreams: I installed VLC Player, and in Tools I set the video output to X11. Now I can watch stuff in VLC without any flickering. [14:10] rafting, whats wrong for a plain cd install?

It looks like the handling of interrupts changed from kernel 2.6.20 to 2.6.24 (the version in the current distro) and the vendor of some hardware i have hasn't updated their driver kernel module yet. What's a good solution? Is it possible to rollback to an earlier kernel version or something? [14:32] Photoguy, that is the reason [14:32] Windows xp [14:33] question, is samba already installed with ubuntu 8.10? [14:33] Ok. [14:33] djbeenie, no [14:33] So just wait for it download :P?

[15:50] Anyone know where i would look for information on my Mozilla? its unstable and keeps crashing.

[15:51] hello [15:51] yes [15:51] elmnas: try "removal" [15:51] ok [15:51] any ideas anyone?> [15:51] my user-switcher dont show the shutdown, reboot, hibernate etc options [15:52] princ1: so rename a likely culprit like ~/.gnome to ~/.gnome.backup, then see if you get sound on login again. And so on [15:52] ohhh [15:52] Hi, i was remote in some ubuntu pc, iptraf--> Detail Interface -->eth1 was running, i lost my connection to that remote pc, now i cant run, ptraf--> Detail Interface -->eth1..its still running.. how to stop that... [15:52] jrib : I'm troubleshooting, disabling programs to see what is causing the sound problem right? [15:52] does anyone know if problems can arise from running a sudo'ed firefox? ie, will it mess up subsequent attempts to run firefox or anything like that? [15:52] i did it now i open the hardware drivers from system Menu but i got error message for Nividia driver (no proprietary drivers r in use on this system [15:52] princ1: I don't have a good guess as to what the cause is, so yes you're restoring settings to default to figure out the issue [15:52] Anyone know where i would look for information on my Mozilla? its unstable and keeps crashing [15:52] temppy yes.. that is a bad idea [15:53] jrib: got ya. so the directory I navigate to first is /~? [15:53] temppy: Why would you run sudo'ed firefox in the first place? [15:53] princ1: ~ just means /home/username [15:53] princ1: Without the / [15:53] Hi I am stuck using 7.10 for reasons involving my wireless card. Is there a way to upgrade such apps as GIMP without upgrading the whole of the OS? [15:54] I got a message about Authentication Failure changing mi timezone when i am unlocking the dialog ... some one can help me? [15:54] jrib: yea i'm in there now so should I start renaming the folders that are in there [15:54] whileimhere You really need to upgrade or you WILL break something [15:54] whileimhere: What are the exact reasons? [15:54] princ1: I'd start with ~/.gnome, then check that, then maybe ~/.config and ~/.gconf would be good ones as well [15:54] mr jack i did it now i open the hardware drivers from system Menu but i got error message for Nividia driver (no proprietary drivers r in use on this system [15:55] can anyone help me? [15:55] whileimhere dont let a cheap unsuported wireless card determine your os/version [15:55] jrib : ok. how do I see invisible files [15:55] Hi, i was connected with some remote Ubuntu pc, iptraf--> Detail Interface -->eth1 was running, i lost my connection to that remote pc, now i cant run, ptraf--> Detail Interface -->eth1..its still running.. how to stop that..... [15:55] princ1: view -> show hidden files [15:55] yera === StoogeFTW is now known as Stooge [15:55] jrib: yea just saw that. ok I'll start on that. thanks a lot [15:55] Sakarias, sudo pkill iptraf [15:55] ops, was Sarthor_ [15:56] pseudo_opcode HAve you run it with effects turned off [15:56] no one help me ??? ok [15:56] brb [15:56] joaopinto, what the solution?? [15:56] Jack_Sparrow: FreeFull: well, I have to, in order to run a certain website. Any advice on how to do it? Im doing it right now on a separate user account, of which I would devote to this one website. But, are there any other ways to do it safely on a regular account, maybe with a chroot? [15:56] Sarthor_, yes, just kill it with the command I have provided [15:56] compiz effects? [15:57] so I got the partitioner wokring now and I can partition the harddrive as I please. It detects Vista Longhorn and I can choose 50/50 for example. Now, is there a chance that will ruin stuff on the Vista -partition? I defragmented the harddrive. [15:57] FreeFull: Okay if you are ready for this. I use wireless at home. I sit 6 feet from the router but for reasons that I cannot get into I cannot use a etho cord. When I have tried to just upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu my wireless starts to experience the following issues: Wireless is not detected for up to 15 minutes, wireless drops every few minutes, wireless has a week signal of 30%. I figured it may have something [15:57] temppy that doesnt make sense to me.. you should be able to do it with any card [15:57] Jack_Sparrow, thats a good idea, but that would probably take 2 days [15:57] to reach there and turn it off [15:57] jrib : if one of these folders are causing the problem, will renaming them immediatly put sound back or will I have to restart each time? [15:57] joaopinto, i cant understand this command, please give me the sample here. will be thankfull. [15:58] Sarthor^^, man pkill [15:58] so I got the partitioner wokring now and I can partition the harddrive as I please. It detects Vista Longhorn and I can choose 50/50 for example. Now, is there a chance that will ruin stuff on the Vista -partition? I defragmented the harddrive. [15:58] princ1: logout and back in [15:58] got ya [15:58] Question: How can I tell if the processor I'm running on is 64 bit capable, from within Ubuntu. [15:58] Jack_Sparrow: ? what? I need to run firefox as root. Its for an online virus scanner... [15:58] rafting there is always a chance of trashing a partition when working at that level.. [15:58] i was running compiz fusion previously without any problems [15:58] in 8.04 [15:58] there is no such command in my ubuntu, like ops [15:59] temppy online virus scanner for what os? [15:59] pseudo_opcode your not on 8.04 now [15:59] Jack: ok but can I make it non-functionin? i dont have any material i care about [15:59] temppy: I'd be very suspicious of that [15:59] I cant make irraparable damage right? [15:59] no man i did fresh install, 8.10 and its painfully slow now [16:00] temppy, a virus scanner which requires a browser to be run as root to be run is a security risk [16:00] oh i m on windows box [16:00] Hi, i was connected with some remote Ubuntu pc, iptraf--> Detail Interface -->eth1 was running, i lost my connection to that remote pc, now i cant run, ptraf--> Detail Interface -->eth1..its still running.. how to stop that..... [16:00] and if I do 50/50 now I can always do a 100% ubuntu install later right? [16:00] if you mean where i am accessing irc from [16:00] rafting yes, you CAN erase everything in your vista install if done incorrectly or lose power etc [16:00] Jack, ubuntu is on my other lappy [16:00] Jack_Sparrow: well, Im experimenting with scanning a windows partition from linux. I think it would be really cool. You know, there are viruses out there that seem to be unremovable while windows is running [16:00] ok isnt a big deal really. but is it likely to be ok? [16:00] Sarthor^^, you need to learn to use the "ps" and "kill" commands, or "pkill", please read their manpages with man command [16:01] Sarthor_, ^ [16:01] temppy I would avoid an online solution for that [16:01] how to boot to the Ubuntu? i get grub error 17. changed hard drive priorities etc but that did not woek [16:01] *work [16:01] temppy: There is always the Windows live-cd [16:01] rafting it is NOT likely that you will have a problem [16:01] joaopinto, i cant understand, that command is not working..."oot@designer:~# ops, was [16:01] bash: ops,: command not found [16:01] " [16:01] What do I need to do to change the resolution to bigger than 800*600, there is no higher option in the resolution-menu [16:01] hello, Im new to Ubuntu, and Im having problems with sound/video playback === pyroman is now known as Pyro_man [16:02] nonix4, perfect! alt-cd have netboot. thanx :) [16:02] rafting setup both monitor available resolutions and your video driver [16:02] FreeFull: Any ideas?

I can't help then [16:05] temppy: suggestions? don't run a web browser as root user, it's a security risk regardless of who asks you to do it. [16:05] FreeFull: I downloaded 8.10 the first week after it was released for production. [16:05] Has it changed?

[16:31] ValentineXX, what is the folder name, you should not change system folders owner... [16:32] ackbahr, yes, it's a command line utility to mount samba shares [16:32] Jack_Sparrow: I am not on wireless [16:32] you can also use smbfs, which provides support for the regular mount command [16:32] in hardy is there any way to define a custom action to take when a DVD is inserted in the drive? There used to be, and now it seems the nautilus preference that controls it offers less flexibility [16:32] joaopinto: i am trying to install new screen lock dialogue [16:32] joaopinto: And I'm not aiming at distant mounting, you can imagine I'm stuck with console and no X.... [16:32] mikebeecham rework that for ethernet [16:32] Hey, any ideas how I could make xargs stop after one command returns an error? [16:33] ValentineXX, you are not expected to change a dir to yourself, instead you need to run the copy command as root, sudo [16:33] joaopinto: Just like my windows partition (on the same computer!) can be mounted from inside Ubuntu [16:33] Jack_Sparrow: I just tried sudo iwconfig eth0 rate 54M, but that returned a "operation not supported" [16:33] mikebeecham I cna help.. kinda busy here [16:33] joaopinto: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Susbuntu+Lock+Dialog?content=77558 [16:33] ackbahr, like I said, use smbmount ;) [16:33] hi! sound doesn't work... I followed the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=866965 and it worked, but since the last automatic update it failed again. Now I don't have sound, what can I do? [16:33] joaopinto: there they are saying in instructions what should i do? [16:34] joaopinto: Ok, thanks [16:34] ValentineXX, their instructions seem clear enough, there is no need to change a folder owner there... [16:34] mikebeecham would that not be ifconfig [16:34] joaopinto: Packet doesn't exist [16:34] Jack_Sparrow: thanks anyway [16:35] http://www.canonical.com/aboutus/contactus right ? [16:35] joaopinto: i do not understand their instructions as i do not know much about ubuntu [16:35] This the place to come ask my random noobie questions? [16:35] ackbahr, sorry, it's provided by the smbfs package [16:35] can anyone help me change the LAN network speed on my wired connection? What commands should I use? [16:35] ValentineXX, they provide you the exact commands that you need to type.... [16:35] Anscombe: ask [16:35] gfather, right [16:35] joaopinto: ok i try [16:36] Jack_Sparrow: I dont know...I dont know linux commands or useage yet...not long been using it [16:36] I don't have sound, what can I do? [16:36] mikebeecham ifconfig [16:36] mikebeecham man ifconfig [16:36] I did a Google search and click the mouse button then ALL OF A SUDDEN all the text became right justified on the screen .. how do I get it back to the standard left justified.? [16:37] joaopinto: valentine@Valentine-Ubuntu:~$ cd Desktop/XeiaieX-susbuntu-lock.tar.gz [16:37] bash: cd: Desktop/XeiaieX-susbuntu-lock.tar.gz: Not a director [16:37] jack-desktop, ifconfig does not allow to set the speed [16:37] k [16:37] ops, was for Jack_Sparrow [16:37] right justification in firefox? [16:38] it could be due to settings, try "view --> character encoding" what is selected? [16:38] mikearr, Jack_Sparrow , man mii-tool [16:38] ops, was for mikebeecham [16:38] hi can someone prefer agood program like screenlets with gadjets etc? [16:38] gfather http://www.ubuntu.com/partners [16:39] Jack_Sparrow: thanks...I'll go learn for a week first...sorry to sound ungrateful, but I cant use my network and dont have time to learn linux right now. Sorry mate, I know that sounds harsH! [16:39] joaopinto: what was that sorry mate>? [16:39] does osmeone prefer agood gadjet program? [16:39] mikearr, the command to change an ethernet card speed is mii-tool [16:40] elmnas, try google gadgets [16:40] what that? [16:40] elmnas, google.com, google gadgets [16:40] ok [16:40] i'm having trouble syncing my palm treo, should i try it with the 8.04 live cd? [16:41] my swap no longer gets set on boot after editing partitions with parted (since i didn't think ubuntu needed so much space for its boot partition). fstab seems to have a strange format, i've never seen this UUID value. how do i configure this? does the normal fstab format work? [16:41] quambo, you can list the UUIDs with: blkid [16:42] hi, sound doesn't work, what can I do [16:42] quambo, the plain fstab format does work, but it's preferable UUIDs, since those do not change when you delete/add partitions, unlke the logical nr [16:42] joaopinto: Well, if I had figured out earlier that it was /dev/sda1 and NOT /dev/hda1.... [16:42] my sound didn't work until 7.10 [16:42] juancabrito, is your sound card listed on "lpsci" ? [16:42] Hello everyone [16:43] joaopinto: ah thank you :) [16:43] joaopinto: I found the command to see what my duplex was, and I have 100mbps full duplex, but when I try ethtool eth1 then it tells me that it cannot get device settings? Does this make any sense to you === ddelec24_ is now known as ddelec24 [16:43] how can i do a log history/report of rsync, that i'm going to do, cause someone told me i had to specify it before ? [16:43] guys I'm having a weird problem on my Intrepid with Firefox (and sometimes other programs) and I can't find anything on Google.. thought I could ask here [16:43] anyone know off their head the C++ SDL library name for ubuntu? [16:43] !wlan [16:43] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [16:43] sometimes my Firefox just closes without issuing any message or anything [16:43] mikebeecham, is eth1 your device name ? have you checked with ifconfig -a ? [16:43] if I run it from the terminal, before closing down it writes 'Aborted.' in the terminal [16:44] Scorchin, apt-cache search libsdl dev [16:44] this happens when it becomes too loaded [16:44] I guess [16:44] just my observation that is [16:44] thanks joaopinto! [16:44] joaopinto: I have eth0 and also a 'lo' (loopback) [16:44] so maybe you guys have an experience / understanding? [16:44] hey can anyone tell me any gud software good enough to build a website [16:44] joaopinto: I don't know.. but it worked until I installed VMWare, after that I supposed the VM had control over the card, then I followed the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=866965 and it worked again [16:44] dazeXx, that is most likely to be an addon or plugin issue [16:44] How can I sync my mp3 player with rhythmbox? It is detected fine by rhythmbox, but I can't see a button to copy across the recent additions to my music library on my pc. [16:44] dazeXx me too I also have this problem [16:45] joaopinto: now, after the last automatic update it doesn't work again [16:45] joaopinto: I only have Firebug and I don't think this would cause the problem [16:45] joaopinto: I also have an pan0 [16:45] Hi guys [16:45] joaopinto: eth0 should be the main one I think! [16:45] dazeXx, you should run firefox from the terminal and check for errors when the crash occurs [16:45] If I installed ubuntu server on a bare bones amd box and took the drive and put it in a bare bones pentium box would there be any problems, [16:45] joaopinto: like I have said, it writes 'Aborted.' before closing down in the terminal [16:45] mikebeecham, do you have an eth0 on ifconfig ? [16:45] joaopinto: and that guide is now useless [16:46] dazeXx, ok. that just means it crashed, not much of a help :P [16:46] DarkKnight: if youre on that level, try Dreamweaver [16:46] I am new here and I would like to get some help with ubuntu, anyone are able to help me with some tips. [16:46] jorge_: what d'u need [16:46] juancabrito, please check your mixer settings, on some conditions the PCM level is set to 0, no sound [16:46] dazeXz; do we have the version for ubuntu??

[16:46] DarkKnight: I think it has platinum rating in WineHQ [16:47] !html | DarkKnight [16:47] Is there any way to show hidden files automatically when I go to Places, home folder - for example? Or is the only way to go to view and select it every time? [16:47] DarkKnight: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [16:47] joaopinto: yessir. When I try sudo ethtool eth0, I can see that I have 1000Mb/s and full duplex [16:47] joaopinto: it isn't [16:47] well dazexx, to be honest a lot of thinks , as I am new in this [16:47] joaopinto: this generally happens when there is intense swapping, at least thats my observation [16:47] joaopinto: sorry, 100Mb/s [16:47] mikebeecham, and what are you trying to achieve ? [16:47] so I want to find out why on earth does my browser have to close down!! [16:47] hi all [16:47] dazeXz; its not there in the repos [16:48] for the partition, whats a good amount of space for ubuntu? [16:48] DarkKnight: you should install it under Wine [16:48] Can you tell me how do I can update to a new version of ubuntu? [16:48] How to define "default" GPU to Xorg.conf. Xorg can't now start cause I have two graphic adapters (nvidia 6600 GT and nvidia 8600 GT) [16:48] DarkKnight: its not an opensource / free application, Wine is simply able to run it as a Windows application [16:48] joaopinto: I have a mac and a linux machine on the same network....the mac is running fine, but the lInux machine's browsing and downloading speed is VERY VERY slow...something is wrong and I can't figure out what mate. [16:48] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:48] mikebeecham, ah ok :\ [16:49] mikebeecham, is your dns properly configured ? [16:49] * dazeXx is wondering if joaopinto is the celebrity around here [16:49] dazeXz; but i have never been able to do any proper installation of softwares under wine..though i have installed wine [16:49] mikebeecham, it could be a driver issue, not related to the network speed setting [16:49] joaopinto: it's been running fine for weeks without issue...it suddenly stopped working yesterday [16:49] Is there a good web-interface application for lm-sensors? [16:49] DarkKnight: I'm running World of Warcraft and Photoshop under Wine and they seem to run flawlessly [16:50] mikebeecham, that is very odd, I would only expect such problems after a kernel upgrade... [16:50] mikebeecham: obviously something has changed in your linux yesterday. [16:50] How to kill a a process that is stuck? [16:50] i have about 5 years experience in FreeBSD server environment and want to try ubuntu for server, what's the "best practices" for ubuntu server do you suggest me to read ? [16:50] actually [16:50] yesterday there was a kernel update, right? [16:50] HentaiXP, man ps and man kill [16:50] firefox is stuck and there is no taskmgr thing that I can find [16:50] dazeXx: I would agree mate, but being a noob at linux I have no idea how to troubleshoot this [16:50] joaopinto: from the gui [16:50] british, meh [16:51] mikebeecham, have you tried logging out and back in? [16:51] HendriXXX, System -> Admin -> System monitor [16:51] ops, was for HentaiXP [16:51] HentaiXP: ps -elf |grep firefox [16:51] no CLI thing [16:51] then $kill PID [16:51] HentaiXP, pkill firefox [16:51] I just updated my system (ubuntu 8.04) to the latest available packages yesterday. Initially when i start the computer , the keyboard works properly, after some time it stops working completely and at times starts again. Is this some kind system problem ?? or my computer has been infected by some malicious program,virus,etc ? [16:52] !virus | aditya1 [16:52] aditya1: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [16:52] aditya1: malicious program is highly unlikely [16:52] dazeXz; kk.. wen i try 2 install it under wine....it tries to install in windows directories [16:52] aditya1, there is no known wild virus/malware for linux [16:52] aditya1, have you rebooted since you upgraded? [16:52] seriously you guys got a problem with killing it though the gui, I don't care if this is linux, I would expect the gui first [16:52] esp for ubuntu [16:52] DarkKnight: that's right, those Win dirs are really mapped to a linux dir on your machine [16:52] "An error occured while writing the changed to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted" [16:52] changes* [16:52] ompaul: I've tried switching off my machine, switching off my router, and lots of other things. One thing I should also mention is that I have been able to connect to my linux machine from the mac to grab shared folders. I can still see the linux shared folders in the mac but trying to transfer anything is painfully slow....so there is something def wrong === icqnumber__ is now known as icqnumber [16:52] HentaiXP, I Already provided you the GUI option ! [16:52] HentaiXP: joaopinto told you how [16:52] joaopinto: yes you did and thanks [16:53] ompaul: joaopinto: i know there are no viruses but the KBD stops working at times [16:53] dazeXz; ohh... then in which directory am i supposed to install [16:53] mikebeecham, check your cabling [16:53] but in general, we prefer the client, yes, that is common to linux users, it's a matter of preference, you are free to like ir or not :) [16:53] ompaul: have done that as well :( [16:53] aditya1, did you reboot? [16:53] DarkKnight: whichever you desire [16:53] erm, client = terminal [16:53] I think those are mapped to a directory in your home [16:53] nevermind. i found the answer. [16:53] When tryign to start GDM/X I get error: "More than one possible primary device found" [16:53] * Trying [16:53] ompaul: joaopinto: yes , i have rebooted several times [16:53] mikebeecham, ifconfig and see if you have transmission errors [16:54] DarkKnight: those are mapped to ~/.wine/drive_c/ [16:54] is it possible to install ubuntu on a bare bone box and move the drive to another box? [16:54] aditya1, try to see if there is another upgrade still available (i.e. something did not upgrade yesterday that should have) [16:54] ah come on guys someone help me with my firefox problem :( [16:54] ompaul: i just checked before 10 mins [16:54] tatters, yes but note that you may have issues if the box i [16:55] ompaul: and everything is updated.. [16:55] tatters, if the box is seriously different or you install specific restricted drivers [16:55] hey i need some help, when i go into the program thing to install programs, it says cannot be installed on your computer type (i386).

Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. [16:57] dazeXx: : ah, where do i start? cmopiz website or some packagelib? [16:57] Non-TV: sudo apt-get install compiz-gnome iirc [16:57] aditya1, and you have checked it on centos since this problem started?

[16:59] Since java isn't installed on nix? [16:59] !patience | zackfett [16:59] zackfett: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available.

[16:59] dietwater, please note that by default intrepid installs the "recommended" packages, not only the "required" [16:59] aditya1, the hardware abstraction layer [16:59] zackfett: you may want to be more speific as well, what program 'thing' and what program [17:00] kk. [17:00] dietwater, yes, java will need to be installed [17:00] the program uninstaller, and installer [17:00] ompaul: ok [17:00] k, cause the dependencies are a page+ long [17:00] i never tried grabbing it from the repository, i just download the tar.gz from the site, it doesnt need to be installed, just extracted to /opt or where you want it, kinda like firefox if you've ever installed it manually [17:00] dietwater, are you installint from command line ? [17:00] yes [17:00] pussy [17:00] just make sure you got java runtime [17:00] cat [17:00] aditya1, however what you describe is typical of some hardware problem with a keyboard or the machine itself [17:00] if someone has an experience with Firefox crashing with no plugins (except Firebug) randomly during intense swapping and outputting 'Aborted.' in the terminal, please message me.

[17:01] dietwater, you can use apt-get install --no-install-recommends [17:01] cause this is annoying in this channel [17:01] ompaul: is there a possibility of my keystrokes being sent to some one else ? [17:01] firefox runs like a charm for me, unless i have the flash plugin loaded [17:01] zackfett: in pidgin it's in preferences [17:01] in gaim?

[17:01] aditya1, is it wireless? [17:01] ok [17:01] dietwater, before the install sorry [17:01] mibbitfrog: hmm that makes me think about the flash plugin. Could it cause that? [17:01] i get HAL error what is that? [17:01] ompaul: no [17:01] fierfox will lockup and crash a lot with flash, i cant even use flash 10 (segfaults every time) i use flash9 [17:02] zacfett: upgrade, fiesty is no longer supported [17:02] aditya1, then no [17:02] dietwater, and its recommends, not recommend [17:02] mibbitfrog: I'm using flash from Adobe. [17:02] ompaul: ok...thanks [17:02] that is the only reason for me firefox has been unstable, without flash i hardly ever get a crash [17:02] Thank you, it is less [17:02] requinb4, its not in there [17:02] yes if you have flash plugin its probably that [17:02] down to 266.

Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. [17:04] flash is most likely the culpret [17:04] zackfett, what "program thing" ? [17:04] zackfett, feisty is eol. you should upgrade if you want support. [17:04] the program manager [17:04] how can i see the code for a pressed key [17:04] I CANT UPGRADE [17:04] i know there is a program for this [17:04] is it possible to use the ethernet driver e1000 instead of the new unimproved e1000e? [17:04] zackfett, and we can't support it :) [17:04] mibbitfrog: there should be some sort of an open alternative to flash for linux.. is it worth to try? [17:04] zackfett, sure you can; you dont need a cd to do so. [17:04] zackfett do dist-upgrade from commandline [17:04] yeah last time i did that [17:04] its worth a try.. but the ones ive tried are crap and wont work with most sites [17:05] it made my linux go FUBAR [17:05] ok do a new formate then [17:05] hi [17:05] !hi [17:05] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [17:05] !bye [17:05] Au revoir! [17:05] nbeebo, ?? [17:05] mibbitfrog: an interesting point here - Opera does not crash ever, although it presumably uses the same flash plugin [17:05] do clean install then... basically program that you trying to installl probably desnt support your old version [17:05] I've got a general Linux question... I wrote some scripts in the past located in different locations "/home/aquina/.wine/", "/home/aquina/.config/streamripper/", etc. Is there any best practive where to store all my srcips - no matter what application they belong to? [17:05] help, I hit a key sequence that inverted my display. Everything that was white is now black and vice versa [17:05] what file system do i need to select for my linux to run on a virtual box? [17:06] Aquina: depends on what the scripts are?

I have a working wireless for vista(which im using now) but it doesnt work for ubuntu. i turn the wireless on and im asked for a password which i provide then it tries to connect but cant. says it is using for key but nothing happnes. so i dont now what the exact error is [18:40] gah! I'm back! tried changing runlevels but apparently X was still running. How does one exit X? [18:40] mrwes: install irssi when in terminal for a terminal irc client.. to load this channel /connect chat.freenode.net 8001 .. then /j #ubuntu [18:40] mrwes: because xchat is a gui app (needs x) and if you stop x, then all apps that need x will stop too [18:40] SirDucky: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace [18:40] Anyone know why sometimes my mouse becomes unresponsive? All of my windows are running fine, and I can navigate with the keyboard. Actually, I can even move the mouse, but the cursor doesn't change when I'm over a button/text field, and it's unresponsive to clicks. It's not a problem with the mouse. It has happened most often when I run VirtualBox for a bit, but it has happened elsewhere. I've had to kill X and re-login to fix it [18:40] (until it breaks again...). Ubuntu 8.10 [18:40] thanks zaggynl [18:40] SirDucky: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [18:40] you're welcome [18:41] ardchoille, ahhh...and the terminal session will still be running?

[18:41] Hi everyone, when I try to use gparted it says my whole drive is unallocated space , the same happens on the ubuntu installer, anyone know how to fix this? [18:41] mrwes: you're fine, going to control + alt + f3 etc goes to a different session; your X will still run [18:41] What happends when I press Ctrl + Alt + F1, F2 etc? [18:41] Izinucs: ahh silly me yes i do [18:41] xargon: or "add remove programs" ? [18:42] hrmmm. xchat didn't die [18:42] Frxstrem: You access different ttys that are running [18:42] Hello all, Anyone have experience with recording audio in Ubuntu? I finally got crystal clear loopthrough sound... but now Jokosher is adding little clicks and pops, as if it's not getting enough computing time... but it is o.o [18:42] right [18:42] Frxstrem: you go to a different tty [18:42] Izinucs: do i have to restart, it seems to have finished installing [18:42] mrwes: then you didn't kill x yet.. [18:42] mrwes: xchat won't die until you stop x [18:42] what is tty? [18:42] ardchoille, I understand that... [18:42] !tty [18:42] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [18:42] xargon: nope.. that's windows thinking.. just check System>Admin>Nvidia [18:42] mrwes: do you WANT to stop X? [18:43] RequinB4, no [18:43] Izinucs: i dont see it, can i just type nvidia-settings in terminal? [18:43] xargon: yes [18:43] mrwes: then just use a different tty... what are you trying to do [18:44] RequinB4, I was just trying to remember how to drop to a shell...I got it [18:44] How do i setup tor with unbuntu? [18:44] alright [18:44] !tor [18:44] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [18:44] not what i wanted [18:44] !privoxy [18:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about privoxy [18:44] xargon: sometimes it won't show until the next X restart.. or you can force it to show by right mouse clicking on "Applications" and choose "Edit Menus".. then navigating to the appropriate location and removing the check mark and then replacing it.. [18:45] yes requinB4 [18:45] there's probably a cli way of doing this but I don't knowl [18:45] why cant i see other computers in my Windows Network section in nautilus? [18:45] Izinucs: ahh i think i still have to restart for the comp to recognize the hdmi input [18:45] i had it setup on fedora but it not hideing my ip [18:45] please guide me to the ubuntu offtopic chat [18:45] so whenever I press ctrl-alt-backspace it seems to restart X rather than exit it. If I switch to a diff. runlevel with ctrl-alt-f2, ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't seem to exit it.

[18:46] anyone know what i doing wroung? [18:46] Frxstrem: thanks [18:46] well the 8800 gts has 2 hdmi out, one is using hdmi to vga for monitor and other is connected to my tv [18:46] xargon: are you sure you are not mixing up hdmi and dvi ? [18:46] actually i might be [18:46] xargon: i have never seen a card with two hdmi outputs [18:46] perlsyntax_: if you just want firefox you can just install tor from teh repos and set it up in preferences [18:47] perlsyntax_: through privoxy [18:47] it might just be 2 dvi output and my cable is dvi to hdmi, for the tv [18:47] xargon: there's a section in nvidia-settings that you have to activate the alternate output.. but will only work after hooking it to the secondary monitor. [18:47] any ideas on how to exit X? [18:47] xargon: yes, thats more likely,and a common setup [18:47] SirDucky: restart or exit [18:47] Izinucs: well it is hooked up, i guess i just have to find the option [18:47] I install in with apt-get [18:48] xargon: x server Display configuration [18:48] join #vbox [18:48] requinB4: I need to install an NVidia driver w/o X server running. ctrl-alt-bkspce only restarts X, as well as restart and exit [18:48] ya! i can get in [18:48] perlsyntax_, sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop [18:48] Izinucs: im not sure waht you mean by that [18:48] er gdm....

[19:18] for some reason, my bin files won't load... [19:19] I installed the newest rc of the kernel and now when I switch to the virtual terminal all I can see is a blinking _. When I log in and type in commands, they do take effect. What's wrong? [19:19] Lancelot: run ./file.bin [19:19] brb. [19:19] hey all, anyobe available to aswer a few questions? [19:20] !ask [19:20] 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. :-) [19:20] Babbelaar: prolly not [19:20] be right back gotta reboot [19:20] ok, well I will try anyhow:) [19:20] ardchoille, for the icon can i give the path to the svg file? [19:20] solexious: yes [19:20] how to I enter a LTR character in a Gnome text box >.< [19:20] ardchoille, Thanks [19:21] if I instal ubuntu and then add the studio upgrade with the rt kernel, will my performance be hindered when not using audio software (ie games) [19:21] does the rt kernel support multicore as effectivly as the standard ubuntu kernel [19:21] <[Spooky]> Is there any comand for geting the basic CPU info? [19:21] i have a problem with my ethernet card the icone shows that i'm connected but internet does'n work!!!!!!!!!!! [19:21] hey, im stuck with configuring xorg.conf with an ati radion R480 [Radeon X850XT] and 2 tft's. ive got bid desktop mode running, but its saying the resolution cant go above 2048 x 768 any idea how to pitch it up? [19:21] I imagine there has to be downsides, otherwise plain ubuntu would come with the rtkernel [19:22] anyone on here know the best method to blocking sunlight from coming through a window?? [19:22] kadak: Maybe it's your router or modem? [19:22] @Babbelaar: once you install rt you can still choose to bot the vanilla kernel [19:22] [Spooly], lshw [19:22] no it work on my other PC [19:22] so aadamant, I will be prompted at startup to chose wich kernel? [19:22] yes [19:22] [Spooky], lshw [19:23] fantstic, and are you able to speak to the po and cons of the 2 kernels please [19:23] I think I have it grasped but reassurance is king [19:24] hey, so sometimes an SSH session with a SOCKS port forwarding times out on me [19:24] <[Spooky]> exodus: Thanks. [19:24] keepalive [19:24] and if I close the terminal and try to launch a new session, it says the port is already occupied [19:24] i have a problem with my ethernet card the icone shows that i'm connected but internet does'n work!!!!!!!!!!! [19:24] RequinB4: didn't work... the file is "Savage2Install-1.5.0-i686." [19:24] is there a way to free that port, before opening another one? [19:24] i dont know too much. I used to use the rt kernel for making music but it got lost after the upgrade to intrepid, the vanilla kernel has been fine for me for music [19:24] how would i write that in terminal? [19:25] j [19:25] # [19:25] i have a problem with my ethernet card the icone shows that i'm connected but internet does'n work!!!!!!!!!!! [19:25] kadak: is your ip static or dynamic? [19:25] anyone- I want to run "Savage2Install-1.5.0-i686." [19:25] sorry [19:25] let me rewrite that [19:25] goto #ubuntu-studio if you want to know more, they would be the people to ask [19:25] If I burn an ext3 filesystem to a DVD, will I be able to restore everything back to exactly how it was just by copying the files back? Will file permissions be restored, etc? [19:25] so if I do not intend on doing actual audio recording into the daw (and just sticking with soft synths and such, I might as well stick with the plain kernel? [19:25] i have a router with DHCP server [19:26] Lancelot: you have to cd to the directory its in [19:26] yea I am in there but they are not responsive [19:26] !terminal | Lancelot [19:26] Lancelot: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [19:26] much chattier in here:) [19:26] ok so you do have any ip set? dynamicly.. make sure its in the range [19:26] deepfriedsquirre> clonezilla [19:26] i find it ok for most things, as good performance as i ever got from rt, but like i said, the studio people would know more [19:26] in the range set on the router [19:26] exodus: cheers [19:26] I have a friend with kids. there are 2 accounts on the system, one for the parents, one for the kids. I want the parents to log into ubuntu everytime, and the kids to log into edubuntu everytime... both ubuntu-desktop and edubuntu-desktop are install...how do I do it? [19:27] I was trying to theorizze whether the standard ubuntu handled multi core and mem better so that if I have a nice multicore and 6-8gig of ram, the need for rt kernel would be negated anyhow [19:27] i want to run a bin file, but a message comes up that says "There is no application installed for this file type" [19:27] it's a .bin file [19:27] you need to burn the bin [19:28] Hi! I need a help with hotmail setup under thunderbird 2 [19:28] convert .bin to .iso and mount it [19:28] i think the main differences between the kernels are timing (higher resolution in rt) and scheduling, but i don't know too much about how that affects other things [19:29] I need to run a terminal without X running to install a driver. I've tried ctrl-alt-bckspce and it just restarts X. I've also tried booting in "failsafe xterm" but that still runs X. Is there any way to just boot into the terminal, or close X in this current session? [19:29] dick-richardson: you're better off making a separate account for each user, if one parent changes something that the other parent doesn't like, there may be trouble.. same with the kids. [19:29] kurrata: how do i convert it? just re-write it? [19:29] I would like to get package called cppcheck into Ubuntu, what do I need to do? It is in the Debian unstable. RTFM answer is ok, as long as you tell the url ;) [19:29] then, how do i mount it? [19:30] @sirducky ctrl+alt+f1 gives you a terminal [19:30] ardchoille, that isn't a real risk...though I will certainly consider it. any ideas how to have a user boot into ubuntu and another always boot into edubuntu? [19:30] Aggro: Not a good idea to use debian packages in Ubuntu [19:30] aadamant: yes, but then X is still running. [19:30] Isn't Ubuntu based on .deb? [19:30] How do I display something on another computer using SSH X11 forwarding? Its a command that uses DISPLAY something... anyone knows^ [19:30] ardchoille: I am package maintainer, do you now understand what I want to do? ;) [19:30] Aggro: rtfm, then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [19:30] ;) [19:31] ardchoille: I'm a maintainer in Debian I mean, and I would like to be in ubuntu also [19:31] hi, does the wifi chipset 3945ABG supports WPA/TKIP and WPA/AES ? [19:31] SirDucky: try: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [19:31] SirDucky to get X to stop like when I'm installing a new nVidia driver I so what aadamant says then in that window run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then ps -ef|grep X and kill X [19:31] dick-richardson: it used to be that you could choose which environment to use at the login screen and then set that to default, not sure if gdm still does that. So, have each kid choose edubuntu the first time and it should stick [19:31] thnx ad! [19:31] heya [19:31] Fallenou: Yes [19:31] anyway to re-configure grub easly so it can add my windows drive? [19:31] kurrata? [19:31] Lancelot: you don't need to burn it nor convert it to .iso, you need to make it executable and run it [19:31] did you catch that? [19:31] thanks guys I'll try that [19:31] oh. well, how do i do that, jtaji? [19:31] ardchoille, I'll give it a go...thank you! :) [19:31] yw [19:32] Lancelot: open up a terminal, where did you download it? [19:32] Aggro: does that help? [19:32] sounds like I can experiemnt since I can chose between either kernel at startup? [19:32] dick-richardson: if you're setting things up you could choose now so the kids don't have to mess with it [19:32] SirDucky also ..

So no it doesn't help [19:32] Thorgrimr < thank you [19:32] it's on my desktop [19:32] much more flexibilty with ubuntu than windoze [19:33] Lancelot: trying to find how the apl was called for that it was something "2iso" with it you could convert most files [19:33] Lancelot: ok open a terminal, applications > accessories > terminal [19:33] ardchoille, that's what I'm trying for [19:33] SirDucky if for nVidia not native Ubuntu but from the web site I add threee lines to /etc/modules.d/blacklist let me knwo if you need them [19:33] I imagine even with the non rt kernel, still running Jack, it will be quicker than windows === Frxstrem is now known as mythbuntu [19:33] jebblue: that would be great [19:33] Aggro: you want to add a repository's URL to synaptic, right?

[20:15] ardchoille: generaly speaking where do you go to open applciations, like any if i insall them, i never know wheer to go to open them [20:15] dichtbijzee: ah ok thank you! [20:15] I have a new mp3 player and my computer is not automatically detecting it. What do I need to do? [20:16] cheaboi, np [20:16] holrin: ah, yeah, kio slaves.. I do't know how to install those except to install kubuntu-desktop but that pulls in a lot of stuff [20:16] cheaboi: u could do alt+f2 and enter the app [20:16] hi all. Is there any reason why running a dd on the currently mounted system partition would cause problems? I want to set up a once a month clone of my root partition to an external drive [20:16] chfwiggum thanks for that tip as well [20:16] cheaboi: oh, go to your menu, the icon in the top left corner [20:16] what type of person is ubuntu geared at? casual user, programmer, sys admin? [20:16] rafting, all [20:16] What is the terminal command used to detect new hardware plugged into a computer [20:17] ardchoille: yea i got it, thanks thou! [20:17] NemesisD, if it is mounted it can change [20:17] rafting: if you're comparing between linux distros I'd say it's as casual as it gets.. user friendly.. works out of the box etc [20:17] How do I check which directory apache is using? [20:17] rafting: I would say casual user, but there are options for the sysadmin as well. [20:17] ardchoille: exactly. So, maybe you know something similar to krusader (two panels) that supports scp ? [20:17] cesurasean: It's using /var/www by default. Theres a DocumentRoot directive in /etc/apache2/sites-available/* [20:17] enzotib, will that completely ruin it or just the file that changes, which probably will be unnecessary, like a logfile [20:17] rafting: I run Ubuntu on my server and on my desktop and the two installs don't even resemble eachother. [20:17] how do i convert oga to mp3 format? [20:18] My computer does not detect my mp3 player. What do I need to do? [20:18] draegon: First off you need to tell us which make and model your mp3 player is. [20:18] NemesisD, how can you say what do change? the created image is not a snapshot anyway [20:18] robert: Do you have the original audio to convert to instead? lossy -> lossy isn't a good idea [20:18] holrin: the only two-pane fm that I know of for gnome is gnome-commander but I don't know if it supports fish [20:18] BlueEagle: It's a sansa clip [20:18] enzotib, it isn't? [20:19] Flannel: I needed to compile apache for /home for suexec because of Webmin, [20:19] holrin: gftp is great for ftp work, if that helps [20:19] ardchoille: as far as I know - no [20:19] holrin: :( [20:19] are 1.35.0 files archive files? [20:19] draegon: Then you need to google for sansa clip linux [20:19] ardchoille: but thanks anyway :) [20:19] draegon, did you try opening rhythmbox? [20:19] cesurasean: Webmin isn't supported, for a variety of reasons. Are you sure you need it? [20:19] !webmin [20:19] 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. [20:20] !.0 [20:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about 0 [20:20] Hi, I recently got a bluetooth headset to use with my thinkpad R61 with buildin bluetooth. im using 8.10. and while this guide is actually for 8.04 i have been using it. with a semi-succes. i got to the end but now i see in the pulse-audio manager that a stream is playing but i can only hear some static. [20:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset [20:20] !archive [20:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about archive [20:20] waat? [20:20] Flannel, whats lossy? anyhow, i saved my cd's to my computer, now i'm tryin to make them into mp3 so i can play them on my phone [20:20] Vinceman: What are you looking for? [20:21] Vinceman: if you want to know what kind of file something is try running "file whateverfileyourewonderingabout" [20:21] I would like to know if a file ending with 1.35.0 is an archive or executable file (or an executable archive file!).. [20:21] Where did draegon go? [20:21] oh well. [20:21] robert, you can get gnome-sound-convert to do what you're looking for [20:21] Hi [20:22] spartanii117, where do i get that? [20:22] robert: Lossy is a compression (like ogg vorbis, or mp3) that throws data away during the compression. What you'll want to do is generate mp3s straight from the CD, not from the oga (that's ogg audio, which is almost certainly ogg vorbis) [20:22] Vinceman: that's just a version number, doesn't tell you much about the file [20:22] !Flash [20:22] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [20:22] hi guys ... [20:22] and gals ... [20:22] how do i generate mp3s from the cd's? [20:23] !mp3 | robert [20:23] robert: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [20:23] robert: Once you install the codecs, your ripping applications (grip, or whatever) is likely going to automagically give you the option [20:23] robert sudo apt-get install soundconverter [20:24] ugh i think i have the wrong gateway [20:24] anyone have a quick fix it guide to ip routes [20:24] I have a problem with ldap authentification on a Terminal Server. I can log in via ldap on the server itself but if I try logging in on a thin client, I won't come beyond "checking password". Logging into local accounts works on the the thin client. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 with LTSP from the repositories. === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- [20:25] ardchoille: Slart: I'm trying to get ekiga for a windows user friend. not sure if the website is hiding the windows binary from me... but I only see a readme.txt [20:26] normally if you install from the repo it unpacks and installs, right? [20:26] lianimator: we can't support windows apps on Windows OS [20:26] for some reason my HP 2600n networked printer is not obeying the margins for printing. I have cups, the printer and application set to print letter size paper but it will still try to print beyond the size of the paper. I noticed the printer test page from cups lists page size as 8.26x11.26 (should be less than x11) The print prints fine on other computers [20:26] Vinceman: it should [20:26] ardchoille, thats OK - I can help [20:26] lianimator, umm [20:26] kbrooks: I didn't realize this channel was the place for that [20:27] lianimator, what's this for? [20:27] Hi, I recently got a bluetooth headset to use with my thinkpad R61 with buildin bluetooth. im using 8.10. and while this guide is actually for 8.04 i have been using it. with a semi-succes. i got to the end but now i see in the pulse-audio manager that a stream is playing but i can only hear some static. [20:27] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset [20:27] ardchoille, it isn't - i'm querying - maybe you missed info or such. [20:27] ardchoille, rip+encode or rip only? [20:27] kbrooks: I'm asking if anyone has ever went to the ekiga website to download windows binary from Ubuntu... [20:27] thanks man [20:27] lianimator: and you've read this file? what did it say? please paste it in here for me [20:28] I'm assisting someone who's using windows to download ekiga.. but apparently, we don't see the same things on the website. [20:28] that guide didn't work too well with my ip routing table [20:28] lianimator, http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Windows_Users [20:28] in fact i had to fall back to my serial :( [20:28] Slart: okay, NOW I've read it. it says: http://www.gnomemeeting.org/index.php?rub=5&path=windows/ekiga_3.0.0_for_windows [20:28] lianimator, but please ask ##windows in the future for Windows app support [20:29] lianimator: that's odd.. for me it says "Please download from : http://snapshots.ekiga.net/snapshots/win32/archives/ [20:29] Please download from : http://snapshots.ekiga.net/snapshots/win32/archives/ [20:29] Slart: then there's a list of files.... a person wouldn't know which one to download [20:29] 3.0.0 is old === hal is now known as henriker [20:29] ardchoille, unless there are copyrights? [20:29] lianimator: do you have scripts enabled and such in the browser? [20:29] Slart: right, that's what I meant. I meant to middle click, but I did Ctrl+V [20:29] lianimator, http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Main_Page [20:30] Slart: a little groggy, sorry [20:30] Vinceman: Well, if an app is in the repos, then it should install.. even the licensed stuff asks you to agree with the license before it will install [20:30] which one is a windows user supposed to download? release or debug?? [20:31] normally an executable link or so appears somewhere [20:31] it doesn't this time [20:31] lianimator: if you go to that url you get a number of files.. with dates ranging from 02-oct to 02 Nov.. pick one of the newer ones.. I don't know the difference between *7316.exe and *7316d.exe [20:31] and it is community supported, so I have much confidence in it [20:31] Vinceman: which app from the repos? [20:31] Slart: http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Main_Page [20:31] grip says it does not detect disc [20:31] Look there please as well. [20:31] libboost-graph [20:31] kbrooks: ah.. much better.. thanks [20:32] ok its good now [20:32] robert: did you set the proper device in Config > CD ? [20:32] Vinceman: that's a lib, not sure if it will have an executable [20:33] ix [20:33] ic [20:33] is it possible for some application to not to work on a 64 bit architecture and to work on 32 bit architecture? [20:34] Vinceman: libboost-graph looks like it is more something to use coding C++ rather than an app you can run [20:34] im getting the following error when i try to install my geforce 2 mx 400 drivers : [20:34] i put i dvd disc my dvd drive and it tells me that it is unable to mount the volume UDF volume what does that mean and how how i fix it [20:34] NicEXE: sure [20:34] you mean it is like a C++-linux compiler? [20:34] error : Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module [20:34] please help me [20:35] Slart: is there a way to make it work? [20:35] Vinceman: open a terminal and run: apt-cache show libboost-graph [20:35] NicEXE: 32-bit apps are known for not working on 64-bit os's.. they however work sometimes on 32-bit os's [20:35] mib_h95taf, did you use the restricted drivers manager? [20:35] W: Unable to locate package libboost-graph [20:35] E: No packages found [20:35] Vinceman: look at the description [20:35] uh [20:35] Vinceman: how did you install it? [20:35] whats the best way to find your gateway ip without having that information readily avaliable? [20:35] NicEXE: but that's mostly due to libraries not being there [20:35] should /usr/local be root/root ? [20:35] I forgot 1.35.0 [20:36] error : Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module [20:36] please help me [20:36] NicEXE: is this some special app? [20:36] I have to use sudo to do _anything_ on this machine [20:36] mib_h95taf, did you use the restricted drivers manager? [20:36] amm i think yes [20:36] i'm surprised i dont have to use sudo to click an icon on the desktop, the only place i can write to is ~ w/o sudo [20:36] but there seems to be a problme [20:36] Vinceman: I thought you said you installed it from the repos, if you installed it manually, then apt-cache isn't going to help [20:36] ZeZu: which your suppose to anything out side of /Home needs root powers [20:36] so i have to install them manually [20:37] what is UDF volume and how do i fix it [20:37] ZeZu: that is normal [20:37] ZeZu: that sounds reasonable.. you shouldn't be writing anywhere other than the home folder [20:37] ZeZu: as a normal user, that is [20:37] I installed it from the repos! [20:37] mib_h95taf, try installing this package: nvidia-glx-71 [20:38] i tried [20:38] whats the point of /usr then ? just to allow read access to users and root/priviledged still has to install everything ? [20:38] and ive installed it [20:38] but nothing changes [20:38] Vinceman: apt-cache search -n libboost-graph [20:38] so if i have a working wireless connection from vistsa then it shouldnt be a problem using it from ubuntu with ndiswrapper? all i have to do is install it? [20:38] Slart: tbeta [20:38] ZeZu: what you said sounds right [20:38] how do you request package inclusion into ubuntu? [20:38] Also, NDISwrapper does not implement NDIS 6 (Windows Vista version) yet, limiting drivers to Windows XP [20:39] so i cant use it? [20:39] @scientes I think you talk to the MOTU. I'm not sure though [20:39] Can someone help me please: I just installed Ubuntu and it's all fuzzy. Last time I had to do something with my video card, but can't remember what. [20:39] ZeZu: there is a good page about the linux file system and what the different folders are used for.. google for linux file hierarchy or something [20:39] ZeZu: seperation of root and normal user is one of the strengths of Linux [20:39] I guess === Unknown14090 is now known as Anscombe [20:39] mib_h95taf, are you in X? [20:39] ZeZu: the man page for hier explains it (access it using the command "man hier") [20:39] ZeZu: usr means "unix system resources" [20:39] ZeZu: Case in point: http://ardchoille.nfshost.com/Linux/LinuxViruses [20:40] unknownzero: I use conky, and there's a script that tells me my IP address [20:40] sorry i dont understand your question :S Im a linux noob [20:40] unknownzero: so it shows up in my conky [20:40] how can i see if i am in X [20:40] !filesystem | ZeZu [20:40] ZeZu: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [20:40] mib_h95taf, are you on a command line, or do you see windows [20:40] NicEXE: I haven't tried it.. but it looks like it would use quite a lot of libraries.. if tbeta is a 32-bit app you need to have 32-bit libraries installed for it.. some libraries are already installed but not all [20:40] oh ... [20:40] !who [20:40] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [20:40] unknownzero: what do you mean by not readily available? it's available at www.whatismyip.com [20:41] ardchoille, linux doesn't get a lot of viral infections, but is certainly susceptible to it, however its mostly rootkits for ..... other uses [20:41] Someone here that is good on shell scripting ? I want to do a script but i am to bad to do it on my own.

[21:42] jrib, I don't need official support, I'd just like to have it working - and it used to in hardy. [21:42] How can I run the Ubuntu live cd on an intel-based mac? [21:42] but i want .. [21:42] how do you restart ubuntu, theres a certain way with alt or something. I installed something and need to update, but not restart the laptop [21:42] exodus ok i understand that but i'm running simple labeler from lijghtscribe the same whay and i don't have to run it as root [21:42] tasos_: there is a very good formula editor in OO (name is formula) [21:42] punkrockguy318: hold down the 'c' key while you boot [21:42] ocult [21:43] sorry mi enghlis [21:43] jrib: their are no drivers listed in hardware, i can't install any..

[21:43] jrib: i do, and I select the dvd drive and it hangs at a black screen with a blinking '_' [21:43] A-t> idk, sorry. good luck :) [21:43] punkrockguy318: what version of ubuntu? [21:43] jrib: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] (rev 15) [21:43] Anscombe, what do you mean by "restart but not restart"? Restart the graphical interface (X) only? That latter thing would probably be ctrl + alt + backspace [21:43] hackwins, occult?? :) i dont understand [21:43] 8.10 x86 [21:43] what's comman ubuntu user settings for promitions [21:43] yes [21:43] exact [21:43] chmod -x folder is correct?

[21:44] [21:43:16] Anscombe, what do you mean by "restart but not restart"? Restart the graphical interface (X) only? That latter thing would probably be ctrl + alt + backspace - thanks [21:44] yes hidden [21:44] jrib: yes the iso is fine and the cd was verifed [21:44] punkrockguy318: how was the cd verified? The menu showed up before you got the blinking underscore? === mojo_ is now known as mojo [21:45] usser, does that help ? hackwins meant hidden [21:45] no [21:45] hackwins, if u want to make folder hidden prepend it with "." ie .foldername will be hidden [21:45] A-t> restate the problem, with all the details. be sure to use one line if possible and be as detailed as possible. If someone knows how to help they will respond :) [21:45] punkrockguy318: then? [21:45] BlinkyToon, heh [21:45] jrib: the meenu didnt show up [21:45] !ask [21:45] 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. :-) [21:45] Does the output from init.d/cups look ok, p1und3r? [21:45] punkrockguy318: well how did you verify the cd? [21:45] yes i know [21:46] jrib: md5sum [21:46] !who | hackwins [21:46] hackwins: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:46] punkrockguy318: what speed did you burn at? [21:46] thanks to everybody [21:46] does anyone know if its possible to change the names of the sinks in pulseaudio? [21:46] Is there any known issues with using pciExpress graphic cards with 8.10? [21:46] verify on burn . . 16 [21:46] Jemradary, if u have nvidia or ati u should be fine [21:46] punkrockguy318: burn it at 2 and try again. the cd works fine on my macbook [21:46] punkrockguy318: though... which version of the macbook? [21:46] guntbert: I know this editor but it has less symbols from "EQUATION". [21:46] jrib: should I switch back to 8.04? Maybe it'll list the drivers then?.. [21:46] tasos_: u can use ooo math or if u like sth nice check out GNU TeXmacs [21:47] I am getting a black screen with big white block in the center of screen [21:47] Mastastealth, I wouldn't count on it. [21:47] Alonda: do the release notes mention your card? [21:47] weird, sometimes i touch my mousepad and the desktop switches to the right one when im on the leftg [21:47] jrib: it's actually not mine, it's a friend of mine that i'm trying to fix (finals are this week) [21:47] left^ [21:47] Maizcul: side scroll will do that [21:47] jrib: i'm not sure how to tell without booting into the OS (which is borked and loads to a blue screen and hangs) [21:47] hagus: ya wierd im tryin to research it [21:47] punkrockguy318: ok, but what version? Is it one of the newest ones? [21:47] jrib: it's an old card, so idk.. i'll check the release notes though [21:48] !notes > Alonda [21:48] Alonda, please see my private message [21:48] jrib: yeah it's a new laptop (two months old?) [21:48] hagus: some guy has the problem, he went to the printers homepage and downloaded the latest drivers and it fixed it apparently.. but that don't sound right to me [21:48] My printer is on a network 192.168.0.7 is its location. [21:48] hi, does anyone know the location of the samba configuration file is, the one which lists the shares you have created when using nautilus. it doesnt appear to be in the file /etc/samba/smb.conf [21:48] jrib: thanks [21:48] punkrockguy318: http://www.apple.com/macbook/ like that or is it solid white/black? [21:48] I went to HP and downloaded their drivers but it made no difference. [21:48] anyone have good advice on setting up an ftp, i want to use it to push material up to my webserver [21:49] idnzor, the ones ive seen get added to the end of that file.. but i rarely use the 'share this directory' feature.. I normally set up Home shares [21:49] jrib: it's not the new thin one it's sold white [21:49] tasos_: have you seen http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/0111GS-GettingStartedWithMath.pdf ? [21:49] storrgie: use sftp instead (install openssh-server and you're done) [21:49] Mastastealth, if there's any way to do it, you might find it with the pacmd command line tool. [21:49] punkrockguy318: then the cd will definitely work. Try burning at 2x and see if you still have the issue [21:49] Flannel: really? [21:49] I have an L7680 [21:49] storrgie: Yep. And you won [21:50] storrgie: won't be sending all your data and stuff (password) over plaintext, etc. [21:50] chrisj: thanks, I'll look around in that [21:50] dr_willis: thanks, when i grep the file it doesnt return anything so i assume they are not listed in there [21:50] idnzor, Hmm - you are right. its not in there.. May be some 'include' type file the config adds in. [21:50] jrib: alright its working for some reason now, thanks for your help. just out of curiousity, do you know anything about dianosing macs? i'm not sure if there's something that can be done to this besides backing up and reloading mac osx. do you have a couple minutes and want to PM? [21:51] Somebody have a working selinux install in intrepid? [21:51] Dr_willis hmmm, i will look through and see if there is anything about it in the config file [21:52] idnzor, i dont see anything.. not srue where its comming from - [perhaps the samba logs will say [21:52] jrib: the release notes say: will be transitioned on upgrade to the free nv driver instead. but no nv driver has been installed, and i've alreasy run an update? [21:52] punkrockguy318: better to try ##mac or #macosx, I really don't use os x much [21:52] jrib: thank you, are those freenode channels? [21:52] Alonda: how do you know no nv driver has been installed? [21:52] punkrockguy318: yep [21:52] help!! I can't view this page in firefox - http://www.quakeroats.com.au/ - it keep asking me if I want to save an *.shtml file. How do I fix this? [21:52] idnzor, right now im fightng trying to get to a windows share.. :) [21:52] Dr_willis: yh its a bit strange really [21:52] CorpseFeeder: do you run that server?

The nv driver is always installed by default - you should be able to find it in the package manager to check.

Imanaged to delete the file in command line interface with sudo. because i couldn't get the nautilus or whatever it's name is to start in root mode. In windows you can doing righ click choose to run every program as root, just like sudo but in the GUI. Would be a nice feature for ubuntu for folks like me who are too dumb for command line [22:14] Alonda, if you use ubuntu (not kubuntu) you can restart the interface using `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart` [22:15] and the room does not exist you mentioned [22:15] Hi, i have install the virtualbox in Ubuntu, in the virtualbox, what is the Host key? [22:15] cstk421: gos is nothing to do with ubuntu [22:15] right control I think afancy [22:15] guest3455, you might want to suggest this feature on Ubuntu's brainstorm web site: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ [22:15] it is built on ubuntu ..... how does it have nothing to do with ubuntu?

[22:16] there is no support channel for it so i am looking for a method of installing a driver in Ubuntu and that will fix my problem [22:17] what driver? [22:17] cstk421: contact the gos support people [22:17] cstk421: please don't ask the ubuntu community to support gos [22:17] thanks [22:18] gosh - distros are like religion [22:18] methodmarvel not at all [22:18] what kind of games do you guys play on ubuntu to entertain yourselves?

[22:20] ext3 is really really hard to recover from - but ntfs is easier [22:20] hi. anybody know when python3 will be packaged for hardy? [22:20] but why is it recoverable? isnt there a way to slate everything out? its not like it by default would stay ther eright? [22:20] how long does the complete memory test(approximately), I have 512 MB? (sorry about engilsh) [22:20] ext3 is not hard to recover files from [22:20] rafting: a quick format can be undone by simple downloadable tools anyone can use.. if you do it properly it gets harder.. but there are still ways.. but now they cost money.. a lot of money [22:20] starenka: I doubt it ever will [22:21] doglino: if it's the memory test I'm thinking of it doesn't stop.. it just repeats [22:21] why? LTS for gods sake, no? [22:21] starenka: for long term support [22:21] Hi. My 3d rendering is slow. I normally make my own xorg.config in other distrobutions. I enabled the nvidia driver, and im getting 800fps in glxgears instead of the 12,000 i normally get. What is wrong? [22:21] starenka: after release, we usually only see bug fixes and security updates [22:21] Slart it's memtest [22:21] rafting: think of it as painting a house.. you can paint it again.. but there will still be ways of finding out the old color.. right? [22:22] doglino: then it doesn't stop [22:22] like it slart - made sense even to me [22:22] ardchoille: don't getting this. talking about python? [22:22] yes it's seems [22:22] rafting: same thing with hard drives.. you can use wipe to write random stuff several times.. it takes a lot of time though [22:22] starenka: right, we don't usually see new version of apps after release, just bug fixes and security updates [22:23] Is there a way to check what driver xorg is using? [22:23] ardchoille: oh. so i will have to compile and update myself.. :( [22:24] starenka: yes, or upgrade to the next LTS and see if it has 3.0 [22:24] ardchoille: hahaha [22:24] ardchoille: kde4? no thanx :) [22:25] starenka: kde4 is in kubuntu, not ubuntu [22:25] well, how can i see what was loaded into ram by a process with id x in the last few secons?

[22:26] z [22:26] I'm using Nvidia's twinview. When I run, example stepmania, it thinks that my resolution is 3120x1050. Any idea how to make that to "1024x768". It thinks that it's the only resolution that is available. [22:26] hm, I wonder if my problem could be related to wired v wireless connection? [22:27] niriven: try: grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.*.log [22:27] Would wired versus wireless make a difference to CUPS? [22:27] rafting: it's not electronics.. it's magnetics =) [22:27] kindofabuzz, amsn ? pidgin ? not sure pidgin supports webcam tho, what do you usualy use in win to do this ? [22:27] Pelo, no pidgin does not have cam support [22:27] hagus, try asking in #cups [22:28] dgar1, Ah nice, thanks. Also, if you know, im running nvidiai drivers in a new distrobution but im gettng really slow performance. Any idea as to why? [22:28] Pelo, and i don't use windows === _acyd_ is now known as acydlord [22:28] rafting: you have a platter you can change some magnetic property on.. if it's magnetized in one way you call it 1, another way it's a 0.. but you can magnetize most of it.. but there will still be old traces left.. [22:28] kindofabuzz, I stand correted then , try with amsn maybe , of see if you can find one with webcam support in the add remove applet [22:28] Pelo: That channel is pretty much dead atm :) [22:29] is there a shoutcast plugin for rhythmbox? [22:29] hagus, not all channels are as busy as this one , ( this one is pretty much the exception), you need to be patient [22:29] i cant seem to find one [22:29] Pelo, add/remove applet, i'd rather use symnaptic. =) [22:29] rafting: but this doesn't make it recoverable by just using "Undelete 2000 turbo plus"... you have to send it to a lab.. and they will have to reconstruct the data.. bit by bit.. [22:29] hagus, you might want to research it on linuxprinting.org also [22:29] rafting: so it's really really really expensive.. [22:29] ty Pelo :) [22:29] kindofabuzz, add/remove only shows applications, makes it quicker to look for apps [22:29] Pelo, isn't amsn just msn? [22:29] kindofabuzz, pretty much [22:30] Hi :) [22:30] amsn needs to add supoort for aim and yahoo [22:30] then they would have to change the name to aimsnhoo [22:30] rafting: if you just want to make sure your old files aren't recoverable you can use wipe.. it writes random stuff where the file were.. then you end up having to send the drive to that expensive lab if you want the files back.. and I doubt anything you can put on a hard drive is worth that kind of money [22:30] I asked a question in that other channel over an hour ago, Pelo - but nobody has spoken there since - but maybe tomorrow it migh be more active :) [22:30] Pelo, so i guess the answerto my original question is "no there is not a linux client that supporsts yahoo cams" [22:31] could you guys help me. i can't get any sound out of audacity [22:31] kindofabuzz, seems that weay [22:31] the level meters are reading that the file is playing, but nothing is coming out of my speakers [22:32] is there a way I can have my screenlets not minimize when using the showdesktopbutton? [22:32] kindofabuzz, checkout kopete, a kde app, it does not metion cams specificaly in the description but it seems to have quite a few plugins [22:32] how can i install this source package? http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/intrepid/simdmath === sean is now known as Guest8739 [22:32] Ramblurr: are you on intrepid?

[22:37] askand: hmm.. perhaps you can use the compiz version.. I think it has a macro to show the desktop somewhere in the settings manager [22:37] jrib: oh.. you're right [22:38] jrib: Source Package: simdmath (1.0.2-2ubuntu1) [universe] [22:39] is it possible to limit a users access in openssh to only be able to forward ports and not execute remote commands or access terminal?

I need to change my video card driver because it freezes (an old S3). How can I do it ? [23:26] i installed ubuntu to usb drive using the installer, now I would like to reformat it but cant mount volume cant read superblock? [23:26] scientes: ok, "grep -R notcp /etc", remove that option from the files it finds it in [23:26] thompa, to format you do not need to mount the usb stick [23:26] scientes: if you do that, make sure you're firewalled. [23:27] asteroid_: gparted? [23:27] ill just use ipv4 as im natted === jay is now known as Guest45015 [23:27] thompa, why not [23:27] asteroid_: i just want to use the flash drive fro storage again [23:27] asteroid_: i got it thanks [23:27] scientes: wait sorry, it's "-nolisten tcp", not "-notcp" [23:28] thx [23:28] downloading ubuntu64b for my parents :) [23:28] scientes: so grep for nolisten [23:28] i should index these files :) [23:28] Guest45015 32 bit is recommended for newer users === Guest45015 is now known as r0otzz [23:28] thompa, formatting is done without mounting partition. Partionning is done without mounting device. An finally, you only need to mount the partition on device to acces it [23:28] Jack_Sparrow, really? [23:28] oh really [23:28] :S [23:28] scientes yes, fewer issues with flash etc [23:28] scientes: yeah, because of things like Flash that have a little trouble running 64bit [23:28] Jack_Sparrow, 32-bit can do everything 64 can, and all computer support it [23:29] Jack_Sparrow, flash is in 64-bit now [23:29] hmm [23:29] Jack_Sparrow, and you can install 32-bit firefox easily from mozilla [23:29] asteroid_: i know that, i want to use my usb cruzer for storage again after installing live ubuntu [23:29] wow 1370 users :) Is the most peopled #chan on freenode ? [23:29] asteroid_, yep [23:29] scientes I know it is.. but there are still issues and unless you have over 4 gig of ram, there is little reason to go 64 bit [23:29] scientes: and *that's* definitely not recommended... [23:29] let me see [23:29] first i will install it on my vmware [23:29] then in the pc downstairs [23:30] hopefully i doesnt have to much installs stufff [23:30] LjL, well i dont do it, and it gives its only libs so if you put it in /usrlocal it will be fine [23:30] 28& [23:30] asteroid_ We have had over 1450 in here last week [23:30] 28% now [23:30] :) [23:30] LjL, its packaged like a windows program :) [23:30] asteroid_: so in gparted do i need fat32 after i delete the partiition? [23:30] scientes: except when a security vulnerability is found in Firefox, then Ubuntu's security updates won't get you a patched version and boom. [23:30] Jack_Sparrow, i mean you can even install 64bit on windows 32-bit in vmware [23:30] did someone also installed on ps3? [23:31] thompa, is safer for storage to put fat32 yes, and make only one partition on key [23:31] scientes I really dont care.. [23:31] hey, how do i get grouping to work in compiz? [23:31] asteroid_: thanks [23:31] hey ubuntu users; I'm trying for the second time here; if someone is able to help me with my problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1002536 [23:31] Super+G doesn't actually group anything, it seems... [23:31] thompa, because not all os are able to mount other filesystems than fat [23:31] I recommend 64-bit for everyone that has the hadware [23:31] mattycoze Please post a description of the issue and not just a link [23:31] yes i have [23:31] even if other say otherwise [23:31] :D [23:31] asteroid_: figured [23:31] scientes We dont [23:31] how can i display here my hardware? [23:31] scientes, have you got a way ? >> I'm on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X but I do not understand how X works without a configuration file. I need to change my video card driver because it freezes (an old S3). How can I do it ? [23:32] Jack_Sparrow mmm well; I've got a problem with controlling my master volume from the keyboard-hot key sound controls. I have a HP Pavillion dv6000 and it has been running pretty well till I messed around with something in the sound control section... What seems to be the problem is now instead of controlling the master volume I'm controling some channel called "PCM-2" of the Realtek ALC268... [23:32] ...(OSS Mixer). The channel that I want it to control is the HDA Intel (Alsa mixer) Master volume. [23:32] Hello [23:32] r0otzz, we honestly don't want to see your hardware here unless there's a specific reason to know... [23:32] I hibernated my computer, and it doesn't seem to be working, just kinda froze up (black screen) and hasn't been doing anything for a while. I can still access it's samba shares and it's still connected to irc and everything, is there any way I can remote shut it down? (I don't have ssh or telnet installed) I just don't want to improperly shut it down while it's trying to hibernate [23:32] aha [23:32] sorry [23:32] skype 2.0.0.72 doesn't recognize my webcam (works ok with xawtv) -- 8.04/amd64 [23:32] tsrk_: have you tried ctrl+alt+backspace immediately followed by ctrl+alt+del? [23:33] !TeXmacs [23:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about TeXmacs [23:33] mattycoze /j #alsa can help [23:33] Hello. Anyone know where I can get help with thunderbird? [23:33] thanks for the reference Jack_Sparrow [23:33] np [23:33] LjL, I've tried each of those individually but not the combination, what's it do? [23:34] Awesome .. downloaded OdfConverter, then tried OO 2.4 first, and it opened the DOCX file no problems. Thanks!!! [23:34] does anyone know the newest version of SFTP that openssh's internal-sftp uses? winSCP reports SFTP-3 [23:34] asteroid_, i do nvidia for dual screen so i really dont know anything else, also ubuntu uses fully autodetection so you will need to do a manual xorg file perhaps [23:34] is the swffile loaded completly into ram? or is read and only part of it is in ram? [23:34] tsrk_: well, if X is still running (although not visible), ctrl+alt+del won't restart the computer. on the other hand, ctrl+alt+backspace will only restart X, not the whole computer. so doing both in succession may actually restart it. [23:34] tsrk_: otherwise, if that fails, do this: keep AltGr+SysRq pressed, and then hit, slowly, the letters: R E I S U B [23:35] the same as about:config for firefox can be found for thunderbird by editing prefs.js in your profile-folder [23:35] LjL, what's altgr, sysrq, and what's R E I S U B? [23:35] !sysrq | tsrk_ [23:35] tsrk_: 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 [23:35] tsrk_: they're keys on your keyboard. [23:35] jack_Sparrow... nah they said it was an ubuntu/gnome issue [23:36] !sound [23:36] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [23:36] scientes, this is the matter : autodectection load a driver, but this driver freeze my X after few seconds. I'm looking for changing it. [23:36] hi. i noticed that when purging firefox-3.0 you can still see firefox in gconf /desktop/gnome/url-handler/* [23:36] same for evolution [23:36] installing lynx, galeon and thunderbird didnt replaced that [23:37] am i right at filing bug reports for each of firefox-3.0, evolution, lynx, galeon and thunderbird or could i file a report which says that this is maybe a general problem and should be checked for each and every package which should or have to modify url-handlers ?? [23:37] asteroid_, if you know what driver to put in its place you can blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [23:37] From what I understand I need to have an MTA in order to be able to send mail via php. [23:37] What's the disk-checking utility for Linux. How do I invoke it? [23:37] hi i experience stuttering/crackling sound ever since i upgraded to ubuntu 8.10, i think it may be related to pulseaudio? please help :) [23:37] !fsck | khider [23:37] khider: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [23:38] rww: I don't want the filesystem checker. I want to scan the hard drive for corrupted sectors. [23:38] hello [23:38] payload1: then go to your Preferences, Preferred Applications (or what's it called), and change it [23:38] where can I find a list of factoids used in #ubuntu [23:38] LjL, the grep on /etc stalled even though im root [23:38] !list | exodus [23:38] exodus: 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 [23:38] <_cb> /boot/grub/menu.lst has 3 generic and 3 recovery mode options. Imagine I can par it down to 1 of each but don't know which to delete. [23:38] <_cb> Difference seems to be vmlinuz-2.6.24-22 and /initrd.img-2.6.24-22 I have a 2.6.24-22, 2.6.24-21 and 2.6.24-19 [23:38] I don't want to set up a mail server, just enable PHP to send emails. Is postfix overkill for such a solution? [23:38] LjL, or its just taking really long [23:38] Jack_Sparrow mmm ALSA is fine... [23:39] khider: badblocks [23:39] Hi [23:39] rww> cool, thanks [23:39] but it should happen automatically, LjL that should be written in the remove/install scripts of the packages [23:39] Is there an Ultra-mobile PC USB image for Xubuntu (8.10) [23:39] ? [23:39] payload1: then file a bug [23:39] SpAc: use something like esmtp or ssmtp... [23:40] SpAc: not necessarily, but exim seems to do fine. postfix is relatively simple, in addition to being very capable. [23:40] that was my question: as a general bug or as many bugs for different packages? or both? or what? [23:40] They have a Ultra-mobile PC USB image for Ubuntu 8.10, is there one for Xubuntu? [23:40] Where can I find the Ubuntu darkroom theme [23:40] bitmonk: the only reason I'm leaning toward postfix is because I've used and configured it before [23:40] darkroom? [23:40] SpAc: definitely not overkill. [23:41] Twili, yup [23:41] erUSUL: are these just more light weight alternatives? [23:41] scientes, sexy solution to blacklist `openchrome` ... but which one will be used ? and is modprobe.d/blacklist is used by X ? [23:41] Twili: download the Xubuntu CD iso file and "Create a USB startup disk"(in the panel-menu) [23:42] bitmonk: I guess it would leave more flexibility for the future as well should I decide to start accepting incoming mail or something [23:42] I have a question not really Ubuntu related. I want to checkout a CVS module from Sourceforge, sbc.cvs.sourceforge.net ... Could someone give me a quick way to do it? I have the CVS client, I am not able to checkout and want to know if anyone else is able to :) [23:42] SpAc: sure and easy to set up... but i dunno if will match the requirements you have [23:42] modprobe,d/blacklist will make those drivers never loaded unless explicetly called by you [23:42] Is it possible to set 4:3 as the default aspect ratio in VLC? [23:42] erUSUL: the only requirement is for PHP to send emails from a contact form on a website [23:43] asteroid_, modprobe,d/blacklist will make those drivers never loaded unless explicetly called by you --sry for sayin it twice [23:43] I'm making an 8.10 startup USB drive. Now if only I had a computer to try it on. [23:43] Where is the Ultra-mobile PC USB image for Xubuntu? [23:43] Twili: to make a bootable usb drive from a cd iso you can allways use usb-creator in ubuntu [23:43] But would that install it on the system [23:43] I just want a live distro [23:43] yes ubuntu64b downloaded [23:43] lets install [23:44] Where is the partition editor in Ubuntu 8.10? [23:44] !gparted | Sweetandy [23:44] Sweetandy: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [23:44] You have to download GParted [23:44] gparted [23:44] Im trying to use rsync on a folder "local folder" but are having problems with it having a space, is there a way i can say there is a space with out typing one like /n is for line breaks? [23:44] Twili: The USB creator thing creates a USB system, doesn't install it [23:44] download from repository [23:44] hmm... well i dont know if usb-creator preserves the live-cd mode [23:44] Ah, that answers my question. I just wanted to know if it was included or not. [23:44] Awesome, thanks. [23:45] i have a question, it may be stupid, but what size is the iso for the graphical desktop disc suposed to be? the mit one comes in at 698MB but the one from uni of utah comes in at a lil over 700MB [23:45] No I mean when you run the USB drive on a computer, would the USB drive install Ubuntu/Xubuntu on that system? I just want a live distro that can run off of the USB Drive but one that will save changes to the [23:45] solexious: put it in quotes [23:45] USB drive [23:45] bobbyd, sadly doesnt work [23:45] solexious: use \ \ [23:45] chfwiggum, thank you [23:46] payload1: but in practice, does any browser start up now when you click on a URL with firefox removed? because if one starts up, then i wouldn't call it a bug... [23:47] LjL, pm? [23:47] no LjL ... because url-handler/http is set to firefox %s even firefox isnt installed, no browser will start... sometimes there will be a error message, sometimes nothing [23:48] no one would know to start lynx, when it isnt written in url-handler/http [23:49] hey [23:49] but knowing that both, firefox and lynx provide www-browser they should configure url-handler/http to the right value, when one or the other is removed [23:49] need some help please? [23:49] i am new to ubuntu [23:50] payload1: ok then it's a bug for sure, but i'm not sure where to file it either. you should make sure in any case that it only happens with firefox - i.e. maybe other browsers do have a postrm script (although it's a GNOME specific feature, so i don't think it should be handled by the packages themselves) [23:50] !ask | yanko [23:50] yanko: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:50] VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0) [23:50] well i am runing vista and ubuntu on same hdd but 2 different partions [23:50] and under vista i was able to see the partiion that ubuntu uses [23:50] and some how i cant any more [23:51] i got a new hdd just for ubuntu [23:51] can someone help me?

[23:51] yanko: were you able to see the partition before you installed ubuntu or after? I'm pretty sure you can't view ubuntus partition through windows only the other way around [23:52] Is there a Xubuntu UMPC image like the Ubuntu one described here?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:52] i will file a general bug... maybe tomorrow... its late at night on my place, LjL... the same bug occurs on removing evolution [23:52] payload1: You should be doing it through sensible-browser (see update-alternatives) [23:52] and installing for example thunderbird [23:52] enyone who know aboute a seinfeld channel? [23:52] Can I have a web server on Ubuntu using VirtualBox? [23:53] Twili: there's no such thing for Xubuntu. but on the other hand, what stops you from just installing plain Xubuntu? [23:53] VirtualBox (On Windows Vista) [23:53] yanko: did you install ext2nfs on the vista ? [23:53] n8 [23:53] aschx: sure. [23:53] nop [23:53] LjL: It's on an office computer [23:53] i installed ubuntu 8.10 in vista [23:53] then, what is the Ip address of the server [23:53] !who | yanko [23:53] yanko: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:53] Twili: and? [23:54] yanko: so this might be why vista can't read it [23:54] *sigh* [23:54] Just forget it [23:54] aschx: i don't know, but #vbox (or the virtualbox documentation) should be able to tell you. [23:54] aha is there a way to fic it? Dasei:?? [23:54] LjL: is there a such channel? [23:54] !usb | Twili [23:54] Twili: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [23:55] aschx: no, i made it up.

[23:56] LjL: I am ;) [23:56] Twili: you might have got a swiftier answer if you just asked the question you actually wanted to ask - i.e. "is there a way to install Xubuntu from a USB drive"...
